***From here on back, I wasn't telling tales for the sharrows at all. While some of the posts are about biking and transportation, there's a lot of other nonsense on here about public policy and tv. You've been warned. These posts will be mundane for entirely different reasons***
After what seemed like an hour of searching through Comcast's On Demand catalogue, I stumbled upon a show on the Smithsonian Channel (I don't think I actually have it on my cable system, but whatever) called The Genius of Design. It's as interesting as a show on industrial design can be and I think it's completely fantastic. Did you know that Bauhaus chairs were made of steel tubing that were modified from bicycle tubes?! Anyway, if you think things like that are interesting and can find it on your cable system, go for it.
New York City Subway Map
I wouldn't exactly say that I'm very interested in graphic design, but I almost asked for this for Christmas, so an article about the ideological battles concerning the design and redesign of the New York City subway map is something I consider pretty damn exciting. Here's a snippet:
I don't know to what extent one should consider subway maps public art and to what degree the aesthetics of the design should be allowed to overwhelm basic functionality, but any time a synopsis of the discussion of these things includes a paragraph like the one above, it's worth a read.
H/T- Chris McEntee
The narrative in the late 70s was—or now, in retrospect, seems to have been—that of the heroic proletariat overwhelming Italian design's repressive modernism, all cleanliness and grid. New York would embrace a map as "mongrelish" (Vignelli's derisive term) as itself. Three decades later, it's not so easy to define the battle lines, and the current subway map looks so different from both the 1972 and 1979 ones that that it's not easy to ascribe victory to one side. Chances are, though, that if you're giving it that much thought, you're the kind of person who generally assumes that the good guys lost. But who are the good guys?
I don't know to what extent one should consider subway maps public art and to what degree the aesthetics of the design should be allowed to overwhelm basic functionality, but any time a synopsis of the discussion of these things includes a paragraph like the one above, it's worth a read.

State-run banks
I investigated a little more the idea of state-run banks and apparently, I'm not the only one interested in the idea. In fact, North Dakota beat me to it by about 90 years. From The Cap Times:
The whole piece is worth a read.The nation's only state-owned bank avoided subprime lending and the derivatives markets during the recent real estate bubble and now has $4 billion under management. In the words of bank President Eric Hardmeyer, it continues to "plow those deposits back into the state of North Dakota in the form of loans. We invest back into the state in economic development type of activities." What that means, according to Ellen Brown, author of the book "Web of Debt," is that North Dakota has avoided the credit freeze "by creating its own credit (and) leading the nation in establishing state economic sovereignty."That sounds good to Massachusetts Senate President Therese Murray, who wants her state to look into creating its own bank. Washington House Finance Committee Vice Chair Bob Hasegawa, D-Seattle, has formally proposed a State Bank of Washington.The movement to create state-run banks is part of a broader push to put public money to work for the people. In Los Angeles, the City Council voted unanimously on March 5 to ensure that taxpayer money is invested only in banks that have established track records of helping families stay in their homes, lending to small businesses that create jobs, and eschewing toxic interest-rate "swaps" that saddle communities with excessive fees and interest rates.Urging these initiatives on is the Service Employees International Union, which is waging a national campaign to stop investing in unaccountable banks. "It's time for Wall Street banks to stop focusing on their profits and start doing their part to help our cities and families recover," says SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger.The prospect of what might be done with all the money that has flowed from the federal Treasury to private banks has some players talking of taking the North Dakota model national. A year ago, Stiglitz suggested, "If we had used the $700 billion to create a new financial institution, allowed it to lever 10-to-1, which is very modest compared to the 30-to-1 that we were doing — 10-to-1 would have generated $7 trillion of new lending capacity, far in excess of what our country needs. So the issue here is not about lending. It's really about saving the bankers. And what we confused was saving the banks versus saving the bankers and their shareholders."Yet as Washington struggles with the task of imposing basic regulation on big banks, the action will be in the states. How likely is it? Hardmeyer used to doubt that the North Dakota model would ever be adopted elsewhere. Now, he says, "When I look around the country, it's not quite as far a leap as I once thought it was."
Biking in Tysons Corners
A reasonably well-balanced piece in the Washington Post. Not much to add, though I worry sometimes about the idea that places are either dense and walkable and can/should be biked in or diffuse and car-centric and should never be biked in. Not every location in the metro DC region is going to undergo massive reorganization with a 30-40 plan to become a denser, transit oriented community with a nice street grid and lots of ground-level retail. There will still be plenty of more suburbanized locations that will still be highly bikeable (in that they're not too diffuse) that will still need advocates pushing for better bike access and facilities.
Down Goes RALs at H&R Block
Preying on the poor and ignorant just keeps getting harder! H&R Block won't be offering "rapid refunds" this year:
I'm glad that someone has finally stepped in to stop this completely ludicrous practice and I hope that other firms are stopped from offering these ripoffs. Even though stopping RALs is an unambiguously good thing, H&R Block will still be offering RACs backed by their own bank. Here's the company's description of how that works:NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of H&R Block Inc. customers who relied on short-term loans backed by their expected tax refunds will not have that option this year, since Block's banking partner was forced by federal regulators to stop offering the loans.It's a blow to Block, the nation's largest tax preparation company, which could lose tax customers to competitors still offering the loans and has virtually no time to find a new funding partner before tax season starts in January.That means Block could lose millions of dollars in revenue, since nearly 45 percent of its customers use a refund anticipation loan or refund anticipation checks. The company made about $146 million on the two products in 2010.RALs, often referred to as "rapid refunds," are short-term loans backed by an expected federal income tax refund. A refund anticipation "check" is actually an account where a refund is deposited. This enables taxpayers to have their tax return preparation fees deducted from their refund, rather than paying up front. Both products are typically used by low-income customers who file their taxes early in the season.
For a lot of poorer taxpayers, filing a return is a bonanza due to the Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax credit, which are basically social welfare disbursements. The only way to get the sometimes multi-thousand dollar payments is by filing a return and this is where preparers get to skim a little off the top. But the skimming doesn't just stop with return preparation. Let's say you don't have direct deposit (or a bank account). Then you can get your RAC on the Emerald Card. Sounds swanky, right? Swanky and way beneficial to banks! Here's a neat feature:You could get money quickly and conveniently with an H&R Block Bank Refund Anticipation Check.You could get up to $9999 FAST† with a Federal RAC and pay nothing out of pocket at the time of your tax preparation. A Federal RAC offers you a convenient way to receive money faster than a mailed federal refund check from the IRS when H&R Block prepares and electronically files your taxes. Receive the balance of your refund, minus fees, on an H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard®2, Direct Deposit or check in approximately 8 to 15 days from IRS acceptance of your efiled tax returnBenefits of a Federal RAC:
- Receive up to $9999 FAST†! (Equivalent to your federal tax refund, minus fees)
- Pay nothing out of pocket, have tax preparation fees deducted from your RAC funds
- Typical release of RAC funds to you in 8-15 days
- Multiple methods of disbursement are available (Direct deposit, H&R Block Emerald Prepaid MasterCard®2 or check ($20 additional fee for check))
- Application process is easy
Stories like this convince me of a few things. 1) The government, if it's going to keep an income tax, needs not only a simpler tax system, but needs to stop distributing social welfare payments through the IRS. It's just allows too much predation. Maybe it can just collect the information on the return and sporadically mail out payments- I don't know. 2) Poor people need better access to banks and credit. Same-day check cashing outfits, prepaid debit cards and all of that kind of nonsense is a massive transfer of wealth from those who need it most. It's disgusting and the government ought to do something about it. I think maybe a smaller, more progressive state should try to get into the banking business (at least from transactional credit and small-time checking/savings operations) and we'll see if a pilot program could lead to larger adoption. I don't know enough about law or finance to know if this is legal or feasible, but I think it's a worthwhile aim to reduce transaction costs as a way of promoting overall social welfare.Cash Access
Use your card to get cash 24 hours a day at more than 1 million ATMs worldwide displaying a MasterCard Brand Mark. The fee is just $2.50 per transaction when using ATMs in the U.S. or when traveling abroad. ****ATM owner may charge an additional fee.
Hungary's Media Law
In case you missed it (or read the blog though an RSS reader), I've dropped the "Thoughts on Taxes, Transportation and Television" as a subtitle/description of the blog. Aside from assuaging my guilt about not posting nearly enough on taxes or television, I now feel that I have the editorial freedom, no- editorial mandate, to blog about the remainder of my many other diverse interests. Or something. Here's Anne Applebaum on Hungary:
But more to the point, this law is abominable and entirely out of sync with a modern democracy. But then again, after the coronation of King Viktor, we won't need to worry about holding Hungary to the standards of a modern democracy.
First of all, it's entirely true that all Hungarians have uniforms and mustaches and waive nationalist flags pretty much all of the time. That is, when they're not ladling gulyasleves on top of the szalami sandwiches they store in their paprika-stained secret boxes and dancing to a csardas at a thermal bath named after a 19th century martyred national poet/hero, all while simultaneously drinking palinka and bikaver to lament the loss of Transylvania, sewing an elaborate design on a table cloth and explaining why the greatest football team of all time was the aranycsapat (6-3!) and that all of the most important Nobel Prize winners were the truest of Magyars.But victory wasn't enough for Orban, who used his years out of power to plot his revenge against the journalists who didn't support him, against the chattering classes who didn't vote for him, and, above all, against his corrupt and incompetent opponents. Since taking office less than a year ago, he has appointed a council to rewrite the constitution, deprived the national audit office of funding, and stripped powers from the supreme court.More recently, his parliament passed a set of laws governing the media. It's hard to say how they will work, given how vaguely they are written, but that is precisely the point: A new, state-run media council, composed entirely of Fidesz appointees, now has the right to impose fines of up to $1 million for journalism it considers "unbalanced," whatever that means. The council is also tasked with protecting "human dignity," whatever that means. The law seems to aim to control not just Hungarian media but media available to Hungarians on the Internet or anywhere—a task that is impossible, as one watchdog points out, but that will require the creation of a massive system of surveillance and control anyway. There is even a government-mandated cap on "crime-related news," which cannot take up more than 20 percent of airtime—though the law does not define "crime" or state whether it includes government corruption.Orban seems impervious to foreign criticism of this stunningly bad law, possibly because he has heard too much of it in the past. I was in Budapest earlier this month—I won a prize from Hungary's excellent museum of totalitarian history—and heard many complaints about unflattering coverage of Hungary in the international media. What Fidesz supporters really hate are stories that make liberal use of the word fascism, as well as those (usually in the German press, which loves this kind of thing) featuring photographs of mustachioed men in elaborate uniforms, waving the national flag—as if all Hungarians looked like that.
But more to the point, this law is abominable and entirely out of sync with a modern democracy. But then again, after the coronation of King Viktor, we won't need to worry about holding Hungary to the standards of a modern democracy.
Best (Folding E-Bike) Idea Ever
Sure, this is just one long commercial, but it doesn't make me think it's anything less than the best idea ever:
Is this a viable option to replace a car? Probably not. But it's a pretty great option for 10+ mile urban commutes (or 5+ miles for those less willing to pedal). If I had a spare, let's guess, $2500 (confirmed- $1200 for the bike, $1300 for the motor), I'd definitely spend it on the ultimate long-distance, multi-modal-able (not a real word) machine. Until, of course, GoCycle comes to the US.
Race and Bike Commuting
GOOD has a good (obviously) series of articles (here and here) on the white bias of urban biking. The second article tells the story of Michelle Garcia and her group Bicyclists of Color in Portland. I found this interesting:
Garcia endured derisive commentary, especially online, when she started Bicyclists of Color. Many anonymous commenters suggested that the idea of a color barrier in the bike lanes was absurd but U.S. Census data supports Garcia's anecdotal observations. On average, men outbike women by 3-to-1, and in terms of ethnic makeup, bike commuters are more than 60% white. Hispanics come in second at 22%, followed by African-Americans at 11%, and Asians accounting for just 4%. While these numbers don't veer too far from the ethnic distribution within the general population they certainly result in the kind of bike lanes Garcia experiences daily.
A student and moonlighting bicycle mechanic, Garcia says that one reason for the disparity is that bike shops, not just in Portland but in other cities like her previous hometown of Oakland, often fail to cater to the needs of new and inexperienced cyclists, especially women. There's compelling evidence that these shops should rethink their approach: women might be in the minority but they do ride. In fact, a recent study of women and cycling by the national Association of Pedestrian & Bicycling Professionals (APBP) anticipated a few hundred females would take its online survey this spring, and was astounded when over 13,000 women from around the U.S. responded. More than 90 percent of them, however, were white and middle class, a finding that supports the perception "that biking is primarily a Caucasian activity, that it's a leisure sport, and that it's a white thing to do," says Anna Sibley, a sociology student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, who helped APBP crunch survey data into a report.
Max Weber and Bike Commuting
Danes! They're always yelling at us because we don't bike everywhere. Here's the latest from Copenhagenize, comparing bike commuting and bike culture:
I've determined that the majority of bicycle advocacy in the Anglo-Saxon New World (and to some extent the UK) is focused on this thing called Bicycle Commuting.Max Weber! Protestants! Inferior bicycling culture! This post has it all. Let's compare our ways to refined, European bike culture:
As though the main purpose of owning a bicycle is to get to and from work. This commuting angle really dominates the advocacy.
There are many volumes written about the influence of protestant immigrants on the work ethic prevalent in North America and Australasia, every bit of written by people who know more about it than I. I think what finally made me try to get this into words is a used book I bought last week. One I've read before, many years ago. The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism, based on a series of articles by Max Weber in 1904-05 and published in book form in 1920.
I sure as hell won't be getting into this subject, but it certainly seems to have left it's mark on modern bicycle advocacy in these Anglo-Saxon New World countries. The bicycle is for getting to and from work. Period. (or maybe Comma, since you can also use it for 'fun' on the weekends when you're not working)
If we look at this from an 'overcomplication of a simple thing' point-of-view, this Bicycle Commuting angle is hardly cycling simplified. It is primarily advocated by 'avid cyclists' who happily commute long distances to get to work. Which is great for them. Unfortunately, it sends signals to the population at large that Bicycle Commuting is a hard slog, a work-out, a sacrifice - however rewarding. It paints a picture of long commutes, even though 50% of Americans, for example, live within 8 km of their workplace.
By saying "Bicycle Culture" I mean creating a culture of the bicycle where it becomes an inseparable part of daily life for regular citizens. Instead of something unique that stands out on the urban landscape.
I wrote about Behavourial Challenges regarding promoting urban cycling a while back and highlighted the massive growth in a city, for example, like Paris compared to cities where strong bicycle sub-cultures rule the debate.
Paris is only one positive example of emerging bicycle cities. I often point to Barcelona as another prime example. They've gone from basically 0% modal split for bicycles to 5% in about three years. Bordeaux has recently reached 10% modal split for bicycles in the city centre. Up from 1 or 2% three years ago. All over France, cities are increasing their bicycle traffic. Over 25 cities have bike share systems. Then there is Spain. Barcelona, San Sebastian, Seville, Zaragoza. Dublin springs to mind, too. Booming. Booming more than any city in North America or Australasia.
Bicycle Culture is planting seeds in a garden. Cultivating a bicycle orchard. Bicycle Commuting is a spear-headed "do it like we do, exactly like this" approach and the plethora of how-to guides splattered across the internet is a testament to that.Orchards! Paris! City centres!Articles like this are fatiguing and a number of commenters from the (inferior) Anglo-Saxon world made the point. I'm likewise sorry that Washington DC isn't Copenhagen and that we all don't take bicycles everywhere. I'm also sorry that I don't ride to work in a outfit that's considered cycle chic and that I wear a reflective jacket and that my bike doesn't have a chainguard. But give us a freaking break! We're on bikes, we're advocating for more people to get on bikes and we're pushing local leaders to get better bike infrastructure. Geez.
Imperialist Universities or Paranoid Neighbors?
Town-gown relations in DC aren't very good and could get worse if Vince Gray decides to lift enrollment caps for local universities. From Freeman Klopott:
* I was also a student at Georgetown. My town-gown credibility is pretty low from the town perspective.
One of the universities mentioned is American, where, I should note for the purposes of full disclosure, I work*, which is currently working on the next iteration of its ten year campus plan. But maybe it's not only working on the campus plan, but also a deep, dark and nefarious scheme, at least according to this guy:On Monday, school officials argued during a summit on job creation led by Gray that the District should remove those caps to help grow the city's economy.After the meeting, Gray toldThe Washington Examiner that he was open to the idea, although cautious about moving forward."I need to understand more about what these [university] jobs would be and reasons for those caps," Gray said. "Historically, there have been tensions between the universities and the neighborhoods in which they reside."
So, there you have it. Imperialist university or paranoid neighbors? I report, you decide.There's also concern in Tenleytown that the university has been buying up property beyond what the campus plan calls for, said Jon Bender, an advisory neighborhood commission representative for the area."American University does seem to have a limitless appetite for acquiring property," Bender said. "It breeds suspicion among some folks that A.U. has imperialistic designs on the community."
* I was also a student at Georgetown. My town-gown credibility is pretty low from the town perspective.
News Vacation
I'm taking a break from following the news. I dropped all policy blogs from my reader, removed a bunch of bookmarks from my phone, and have changed the channel every time the tv news seems to be discussing any politics. The first time I did this was after Coakley lost in Massachusetts. I was, let's say, a little too involved in following the HCR debate to the point where I wasn't sleeping well, so I decided to go completely cold turkey during the dark days before Nancy Pelosi willed it to passage. Recently, I found myself getting a little too involved in the Bush tax cut extension debate, though you wouldn't know if from the paucity of posts of this purported tax blog. So, two days ago I declared a news vacation (read total blackout) until January 1 and as a consequence, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. So, yeah, that's that. All I request is no spoilers please. I'd like to find out for myself in 2011.

---- — Recently released projected population figures for 2012 show the North Country gaining, thanks to nearby Jefferson County, and the state barely holding off Florida as the third-most-populous state in the nation.
California, with more than 35 million, is far in front of Texas, with 25 million. New York and Florida both total more than 19 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Actual counts are done only every decade, so yearly totals are estimates — though considered reliable.
Clinton and Essex counties have lost population over the past two years, while Franklin has gained. Changes are relatively small in each case.
Clinton has gone from 82,128 people in 2010 to 81,654 in 2012, a loss of 474, or 0.6 percent. Clinton had 259 more births than deaths, but that was more than offset by 756 more people moving out of the county than in.
Essex went from 39,372 people in 2010 to 38,961 in 2012, a loss of 411, or 1 percent. The county lost in both natural population flows (136 more people died than were born) and migration (383 more left than arrived.).
Franklin County gained 0.4 percent in population, rising from 51,597 to 51,795. That included 152 gained by births over deaths and 66 more moving in than moving out.
Jefferson County, west of here, was the state's biggest gainer by percentage, totaling 4,033 people over the 2010 population of 116,229 – 3.5 percent.
New York City and northern suburban counties were the biggest numerical gainers.
The counties with the greatest losses percentage-wise were Schoharie County, which lost 650 from 2010's 32,749 (2 percent), and Delaware County, dropping 713, or 1.5 percent, from 47,989. Schoharie and Delaware counties are both southwest of the Capital District. Neither has a city.
In all, 35 counties lost population between 2010 and 2012, and 27 counties gained.
The serious reason to be concerned about population, and the real reason for conducting a census, is to determine government representation. The more dense an area's population, the more concentrated is its voice through its state and federal representatives.
Also, of course, the more populous an area, the greater the economic and social activity.
But there's also the indisputable attraction of having an area on the move, growing. It's simply more satisfying to know your home is not stagnant.
Unfortunately, New York state, in spite of the iconic lure of Gotham, is projected for stagnation.
The Census Bureau foresees it slipping inevitably into fourth place, and soon. By 2020, it predicts, Florida will be home to 20,140,700; by 2040, to 23,249,600. By 2040, New York will have a virtually unchanged population of 19,623,505.
If you're looking for good news, though, Illinois and Pennsylvania, currently in fifth and sixth, are only in the 12 million-population range and unlikely to challenge anytime soon.

78 Pages, 106 Photographs
Nature is my studio. I photograph my subjects just as they appear in nature and do not harass or manipulate them in any way. As you view my photography, I hope that you will be inspired to go explore outside and to tread lightly.
Whether running, biking, backpacking, kayaking, skiing, or scuba diving...I carry a camera wherever I go. My favorite camera is a simple point and shoot that carries the scars and dings from where I have found my adventures. Together, my cameras and I have lived in the humid jungles of Guatemala and Belize, fallen into a crocodile infested lake, skied in below freezing temperatures to reach the snow tops of the Cascade Mountains, and explored the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

I have, right now, 2105 email in my inbox at work... I need to clean it out as well.
How I do this is by sorting by who the sender is. Then I can delete entire categories at once - like say all my emails from my husband or a girlfriend at work. Once I narrow it down that way, I work on things by subject. Since it's work stuff and we never know when something is going to resurface, I try to file anything work related so I can find it again later. Makes for a mess of files, but sometimes it has to be done.
And since you have gotten me thinking about this, the inbox will be my task for the day.

Celebrity Gossip & Entertainment News Leaders ®
It was one of the hottest supernatural thrillers of the 1990s and now "The Devil's Advocate" is being developed into a TV series.
Based on the 1997 film starring Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino, Charlize Theron and Craig T Nelson, the new project will be produced by John Wells and Arnold Kopelson for NBC.
He's been around the music business for a long time, and Simon Cowell usually knows which way the wind is blowing when it comes to his artists.
The "X Factor" stud told press that though his 2010 creation One Direction has done quite well for themselves, he doesn't see them together for the long haul.
He's always been the life of the party, so when Will Smith showed up in Sin City, everybody knew it was going to be something special.
The "Just the Two of Us" rapper headed over to the Palms Casino Resort Ditch Fridays pool party where his "Parents Just Don't Understand" cohort DJ Jazzy Jeff was ready to spin a little nostalgia.
He's been mostly staying behind the scenes in recent years, and now Keanu Reeves is stepping back into the spotlight with a brand new TV show.
According to Slingshot Global Media, the "Matrix" hunk will executive produce and star in "Rain," based on Barry Eisler's New York Times bestselling book series.
With just one month to go until its theatrical release, "Reclaim" has just launched a brand new promotional poster to start building the hype.
The new artwork features stars John Cusack, Ryan Phillippe, Jacki Weaver and Rachelle Lefevre along with the tag line, "Take what's yours."
He fills stadiums, makes platinum records and scores with supermodels, so Kid Rock knows a thing or two about taking on challenges.
And now the "Born Free" rocker is preparing for what may be his biggest role yet- he's going to be a grandfather in just a few months.
Believe it or not, the word "ninja" is now a racial slur, and Justin Timberlake paid the price for not staying up-to-date with the PC police.
The "Like I Love You" singer wrote a happy birthday tweet to his "4 Minutes" duet partner Madonna only to receive a firestorm of criticism from some fans who were greatly offended.
He named his daughter Zelda Williams, and Robin Williams had always been a big fan of video games of all genres.
Following the tragic death of the "Dead Poets Society" star, fans amassed more than 100,000 signatures on a petition asking Nintendo to immortalize Williams in a new Legend of Zelda video game.

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. This means image optimization is important for us, and it is for you, too!...

...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.

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.

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....

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....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Challenges ahead and not enough digital revenue to sustain current size or growth.
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....

INDIANAPOLIS — The private company chosen to run the Hoosier Lottery has launched its first advertising campaign, a push focusing on what lottery players dream of doing if they won a big payout.
The campaign under the direction of private manager GTECH Corp. includes TV, print, radio, and outdoor advertisements. The Indianapolis Star reports that commercials which began airing last week feature a cartoon-like thought bubble to represent lottery players' dreams.
The "Imagine That" campaign shows Indiana residents explaining their plans for their winnings in answers ranging from humorous to serious.
In one spot a Fort Wayne man says he would fund an expedition to find Bigfoot, while a Granger woman says in another she would use her winnings to have a baby because she could afford in vitro fertilization.

Diego Rivera Gallery
RED EIGHT: New Paintings by Howard Friedman
Monday, April 21 - Saturday, April 26, 2014
Diego Rivera Gallery
Reception » Tuesday, April 22 | 5–7 pm
San Francisco Art Institute
800 Chestnut Street
San Francisco,
RED EIGHT: New Paintings is the first exhibition by emerging artist and longtime North Beach resident, Howard Friedman. A self-taught and relatively undiscovered artist, Friedman brings to his ambitious oeuvre the unfettered sensibility of the "outsider," creating an engaging and enigmatic series of monochromatic paintings whose form is distinctly contemporary.
Born from the eclecticism of a global perspective, Friedman's works forge images from his history of world travel and diverse cultural exchanges. The artist applies layers of red nail polish to discarded amateur paintings from around the Bay Area, which partially conceals the original image in a labor-intensive process that assimilates diverse sources into a singular voice.
RED EIGHT combines Friedman's refined and multifarious images with text and biographical ephemera, inflecting the paintings with a historical framework that expands the large, nuanced body of work into rich and personal territories.
Curators: Benjamin Ashlock, Diego Villalobos, and Agnes Widbom

A Kansas City teenager has been charged in recent reported armed robberies, including one early Tuesday morning in a parking garage in the Country Club Plaza area, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced Friday.
Derrick L. Sanders, 19, faces two counts of first-degree robbery.
On Sunday, police were called to 38th Street and Warwick Boulevard for an armed robbery. The victim told officers he was in the parking garage when a man walked up to him, grabbed his notepad and then fled in a teal Pontiac.
Then, on Tuesday, police were called to Roanoke and Ward parkways on another armed robbery. The victim told police he was parked in a parking garage only blocks away at West 47th near Summit streets when he was robbed.
According to reports, the man was getting out of his car in a well-lit, seemingly secure parking garage just after midnight when three men, one of whom was wearing a red Spiderman mask, pulled a gun on him.
He told police they shoved him to the ground and told him to lay on his stomach before they hit and kicked him repeatedly and stole his wallet, iPad and cell phone. The situation was captured on Plaza security surveillance cameras and it showed the suspects leave in a teal Pontiac.
Then, on Thursday, police were called to the Plaza area again after security reported seeing three men in a parking garage at 47th and Broadway streets around a teal Pontiac Sunfire. When the three men saw security, they left in the vehicle, but were pulled over a short time later.
Sanders was driving the car at the time and two juveniles were inside with him. A check of the Pontiac found a red Spiderman ski mask and other clothing that matched descriptions of the previous robberies. Court documents said officers also found a toy "cap" gun that looked like a revolver and a cell phone that matched the one taken Wednesday.
While Sanders denied all knowledge of the robberies while being questioned, court documents said one of the juveniles admitted to taking part in them with the other kid and Sanders.
The Country Club Plaza is best known for the great selection of shopping and dining, but the recent news is giving it a reputation of another kind.
The victim in the parking garage robbery will be OK, but the news is unsettling to those who visit the area.
"Well it is obviously very scary to hear," said Daniel Dooley, who works on the Plaza.
Dooley uses the same garage where that man was assaulted.
"I think I'll be thinking about it as I go into the garage and be looking around as I go in," Dooley said.
Others would like to see Plaza security worry less about traffic and focus more on safety.
"I think the most concerning thing is that security on the Plaza doesn't really do anything. They just put tickets on peoples' cars, more concerned about making money that way and less about protecting people that live and work down here," Lacy Gibbs said.
Highwoods Properties officials said they are working with police but they would not share video with KCTV5.
If anyone has any information, they are urged to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

Fluoride fear after chemical blunder
7:50am Thursday 21st May 2009 in News By Jon Reeve , Education Reporter
FEARS have been raised over the safety of adding fluoride to Hampshire's water, after an accident in Australia left residents drinking supplies containing 20 times their normal maximum dose.
An error during maintenance at a water plant in Queensland caused water with much higher levels of fluoride to be pumped through people's taps.
The amount of fluoride drunk by residents near Brisbane was 30 times that proposed as the safe level for Southampton and the surrounding area.
Authorities insist the process of adding the chemical to the supplies of nearly 200,000 Hampshire homes, which could happen as soon as next year, will be completely failsafe.
But anti-fluoride campaigners say the incident Down Under – the first of its kind in the country – shows there are no guarantees and is another reason the contentious scheme should be scrapped.
"They always say they put in the technologies to ensure it can't happen, but even things that supposedly can't happen have a habit of happening,"
said chairman of Hampshire Against Fluoridation, John Spottiswoode.
"You can never be completely sure it's going to work.
"You're relying on technology, but there is always room for human error.
"It's another reason to be wary of fluoridation."
Homes in Queensland, where plans were announced earlier this year to extend fluoridation to cover all communities of more than 1,000 people, received the high doses at the start of the month.
Details of the error, which meant the fluoridation supply was not shut down along with the rest of the plant, have only just been released, prompting Premier Anna Bligh to reassure residents she believes there are no health risks.
A Southern Water spokeswoman said stringent safety checks will be put in place to ensure dosing errors cannot happen.
"Systems will be designed to be fail-safe," she added.

England Landmarks
The landmarks of England truly capture the various flavors of England's character, from historical to natural to royal to a bit curious. Big Ben is a world-famous clock tower located on the banks of the Thames River in London. The Lloyd's of London building is an example of modern architecture, built in the 1980's.

England Travel Destinations
England's North Country provides a breath of clean air with beautifully verdant national parks, lakes and majestic mountain landscapes. Newcastle upon Tyne offers a wide range of attractions, from nightlife to cultural to historical to shopping; you can't miss the fine architecture of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. York is surprisingly both cosmopolitan and very historical, providing a great vacation. The birthplace of the Beatles, Liverpool, has The Beatles Store and Information Center. Manchester, known for its football (soccer), gleams with modern-style architecture, excellent nightlife, and plenty of culture.
The Heart of England really captures the deep essence of England, with quaint old countryside, and forward-thinking cities. The birth and history of William Shakespeare comes alive in Stratford-upon-Avon, with his homes, grave, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Derbyshire and the Peak District is an outdoor lover's fantasy – the rich green hills ripe for walking, climbing, or photography. Feel the legend of Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle. Enjoy the live music and sporting of Birmingham.
East England is another area of character; where else might you find cheeses rolling down the road but in Stilton, Cambridgeshire? Dive into Norwich's medieval architecture, then stop at one of the pubs or café bars for a sip. Maybe you're looking for a more traditional version of a resort – the beaches, shopping and entertainment of Southend-on-Sea may just be what you are seeking. Castle Hedingham is a previous market town highlighted by a 12th century castle; also of interest here is the Colne Valley Railway.
London, England vacation rentals are definitely the most popular. After all, London is the metropolitan city lover's ultimate destination in England. With shop after shop and store after store, you are bound to find something special, whether the latest styles or a street market is your interest. Choosing where to see live music is a hearty decision, with approximately 400 possible venues. For a historical royal view, don't miss Kensington Palace and its Royal Collection furnishings. Trafalgar Square has a number of multicultural activities geared toward all age groups. London, England vacation rentals are a special delight and should not be overlooked!
The gardens in Southeast England are very pleasant and provide exciting landscape views. Portsmouth is a seaside area with a healthy amount of history, with Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, and a resort area known as Southsea. Explore the historic university buildings in Oxford, and stir it up youthfully with a visit to a pub or eatery. Part of Canterbury is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage list, with St. Augustine's Abbey, St. Martin's Church, and the dramatic Norman cathedral.
The scenic Cotswold Hills shape Gloucester in Southwest England, and Gloucester sports a grand Norman cathedral featured in Harry Potter movies. The Gloucester Docks offer two museums, and antiques/specialty shopping. Bristol attracts visitors with a progressive slant; Georgian terraces, a maritime tradition, and cool nightlife awaits you. Appreciate the waters near Plymouth for a variety of water activities such as scuba diving, windsurfing, and water skiing.
The Isle of Man, a protectorate, offers many outdoor activities, including sailing, scuba diving, bird watching, gliding, fishing, and go-karts. Attractions include natural habitats for flora and fauna, historic railways, and medieval castles.

Arm Yourself Against Injury
To maintain the health of your rotator cuff, it's important not only to strengthen the muscles but to work on opening the chest. When the chest drops instead of opening and the fronts of the shoulders roll forward and down, your shoulder blades tip forward, which facilitates pinching between the head of the humerus and the acromion. In this position, the rotator cuff is more likely to be impinged on and strained, eventually becoming inflamed and more vulnerable to tears.
As you can see from the wide range of postures that benefit the rotator cuff, perhaps the best yoga prescription for rotator cuff health is to maintain a well-rounded asana practice. Practiced regularly, a variety of standing poses, chest openers, arm balances, and inversions can help you protect this complex and crucial part of your anatomy.

CHAPEL HILL — The Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board unanimously voted Thursday night to ask the county for the full $3.8 million in additional money it needs next year, after considering asking for $2.9 million and slashing nearly $1 million from its proposed budget.
The total budget is $135 million. The $3.8 million shortfall comes from a number of expected and unexpected increases. For example, there will be increases in health insurance, retirement, and new teacher pay, along with the Read to Achieve Summer Reading program, which the district predicts will cost $1.9 million.
Board Chairwoman Jamezetta Bedford and Vice Vhairwoman Mia Burroughs opposed asking for the full amount. Both said, based on conversations with commissioners, it is highly unlikely that the commissioners will grant them the full funds.
Barring cuts elsewhere in county spending, the extra $3.8 million for the city schools would require a tax increase of more than 3 cents per $100 worth of assessed property value, and that's before any increase the Orange County Schools may seek.
Bedford said that since she has lived in Chapel Hill, the county tax rate has never risen more than 2 cents in a single year.
Orange County Board of Commissioners Vice Chairman Earl McKee said schools have always gotten first priority with the commissioners, but he also said that the county schools' budget request will help determine how much the commissioners grant the city schools.
Cuts still possible
Making the $909,000 in cuts that Superintendent Tom Forcella previously proposed remains a possibility if the county rejects the school board's request.
The cuts mostly affected Academically or Intellectually Gifted teachers, prompting many parents to criticize the possibility of losing AIG teachers at their schools. School system staff came back and Forcella assured parents, that if cuts needed to be made, they would be spread out and not affect one particular area.
Board member Andrew Davidson proposed at that time asking for the full $3.8 million, but the rest of the board said they wanted to show the county commissioners they were trying to work with them by imaking cuts.
"We have to have some form of realism," Burroughs repeated Thursday.
"I think $2.9 million is incredibly optimistic," Bedford added.
But board member Mike Kelley said making $909,000 in cuts could fundamentally change the system's long-range plan and that board needed to let the commissioners know that.
Davidson agreed.
"The funding number that we came up with was not a negotiated number, it was not a pie-in-the-sky number, it was a number that represented real pain," Davidson said. "So when we come to the county commissioners to fully fund our schools, we're asking them in good faith, (and showing) that we are making tough choices and that we are being responsible with our requests. So in light of that, I think it makes sense to ask for the full funding amount."
At the same time, "The realism side is that we do need to prepare for cuts," Davidson continued. " And we need to prepare for multiple rounds of cuts."
Bedford recommends parents tell the commissioners they are willing to pay more in taxes in order to better their child's education.
