News Feed FYI: Click-baiting
Originally posted on Facebook Newsroom:
By Khalid El-Arini, Research Scientist and Joyce Tang, Product Specialist
Today we're announcing some improvements to News Feed to help people find the posts and links from publishers that are most interesting and relevant, and to continue to weed out stories that people frequently tell us are spammy and that they don't want to see. We're making two updates, the first to reduce click-baiting headlines, and the second to help people see links shared on Facebook in the best format.
Click-Baiting Headlines
"Click-baiting" is when a publisher posts a link with a headline that encourages people to click to see more, without telling them much information about what they will see. Posts like these tend to get a lot of clicks, which means that these posts get shown to more people, and get shown higher up in News Feed.
However, when we asked people in an initial survey…

Brands can now add a custom Call to Action on Facebook Videos Natively
Noticed today that you now have the ability to create a video CTA natively inside of Facebook pages, instead of only through ads or the Power Editor.
This would be pretty awesome for all types of brand publishers, and I can imagine a ton of different use cases here when combined with the other Facebook products.
A full post on all that to come, but thought I'd throw up a few screenshots of what I'm seeing.
Pinterest Expands Self-Serve Promoted Pins Platform To More Businesses

Pinterest is rolling out its Promoted Pins platform to more businesses, the company has confirmed to TechCrunch, after we received reports from businesses who were newly being invited to join the pilot program. Previously announced earlier this summer, Pinterest's "self-serve," performance-based advertising platform is aimed at small to medium-sized businesses looking to gain more views for their Pins from Pinterest users.
Though the company had previously been testing its Promoted Pins product with a number of larger brands, including ABC Family, Banana Republic, Expedia, GAP, General Mills, Kraft, Lululemon, Nestle, Old Navy, Target, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and Ziploc, that initial group of Promoted Pins was sold on a CPM basis, based on the number of impressions generated.
Meanwhile, the self-serve platform partners only pay if users click through to view the promoted content.
Those businesses now receiving invites to try Promoted Pins may have already expressed an interest in the product, the company says.

Get a Free Smoothie from 16 Handles
UPDATE: As of 3:00pm all the free smoothie coupons have been claimed. Thanks all and enjoy the treats!
Good afternoon everyone!
You may have read my post on Social Fresh about the first branded Snapchat promotion that the good folks from 16 Handles put together last year.
In case you missed it, the brand created an account "Love16Handles" and was encouraging users to participate by visiting select locations at certain times and snapchatting photos of their friends enjoying the frozen yogurt.
Well the team at 16 Handles reached out to me this week to say thanks again for covering their company and asked me if I wanted to help them give away some free smoothie coupons in exchange for a free smoothie myself.
How could I resist? It's hot, I'm in NYC, and there's a 16 Handles literally on the corner of my street in Manhattan.
I win, you win.
So here you have it, the coupon below is good for one free smoothie through the month of July. Simply show this blog image on your smartphones at the 8 locations involved in this promotion (check 16Handles.com for locations). If you do use it, you might as well snap a pic and tag @nickcicero and @16handles in it too, but you don't have to.
Let the smoothies flow free from the UES to Tribeca!
UPDATE: As of 3:00pm all free smoothie coupons have been claimed. Thanks all and enjoy the treats!
Why Marco Arment Built A Podcast App

Washington Times-Herald
Barr-Reeve won its first sectional title since 2006 this past Saturday, but the Vikings have had little time to celebrate with the Class A West Washington Regional on the horizon.
While defeating four-time sectional champ and defending state champion Vincennes Rivet in the sectional's semifinal was no small task, the 22-0 Vikings have, in many ways, a similar task now awaiting in the noon game against Borden.
The Braves (17-6) defended their own sectional title with a 45-34 win against New Washington, and returned eight players from last year's championship team.
There's plenty of talent to go around for the Braves who are similar to Rivet with size and length. But one Brave will get special attention from the Vikings, 5-10 senior forward Erin Mikel.
"Mikel may be one of the best players we have seen this year," Barr-Reeve coach Mark Holt said. "She has a lot of ability and can score from a lot of places. I believe she probably is a better overall player than anyone on the Rivet roster."
The comparisons with the Patriots are numerous. Allison Rademacher, niece of Barr-Reeve varsity assistant Joe Rademacher, is a 6-0 senior. Senior post player Allison Bishop (5-10) completes a well-rounded inside game for the Braves.
Mikel scored 21 points against New Washington, Rademacher had eight and Bishop seven, as Borden won its seventh straight game after starting the season 10-6.
The Braves held New Washington to 21 percent shooting while winning the battle of the boards, 35-32. The Braves did commit 17 turnovers to 14 for New Washington.
The sectional championship was the 10th in school history.
"They appear to be a big, physical team," Holt said. "They (Borden) will probably like to make it a halfcourt game, and we want to make it fullcourt."
A slower tempo will probably not be welcomed by the Class A No. 2 Vikings. Barr-Reeve will look to force errors, leading to easier transition baskets.
"We really don't want to change anything we've done this year," Holt said. "We're looking at this as our 23rd game of the season, not the first game of a regional. We want to play up-tempo and get some good shots."
In halfcourt, Holt believes the Braves could cause difficulties with their defense.
"Coach (Terry) Rademacher (brother of Joe Rademacher) has done some tweaking to their defenses," Holt said. "They have good size, like to trap. We may see some defenses that we haven't seen much of this year."
The regional's other bracket game features Northeast Dubois (19-4) and Tecumseh (11-11). The game is set to tip at 10 a.m.
Barr--Reeve defeated both teams in the regular season. Tecumseh fell early, 68-55, Nov. 22, at Tecumseh. Northeast Dubois was defeated at Barr-Reeve, 46-41, in a Blue Chip Conference game, Jan. 12.
"Well, we would have to be fortunate enough to win a first game before we would play a second," Holt said. "We have played both teams, we have films on both teams. It would be the first time in some time since we've had to do that, but we feel we would be prepared for either team if we come out of the first game."

What can I say here? Justin Tuggle leaving doesn't hurt the program, well, unless (Uncle) Dave Shinskie throws out his arm. That's right, he's throwing heat on every pass no matter if its a quick slant, a 5 yard out, or in the flat (oh wait he can't make that throw or chooses not to). In all seriousness, with Chase Rettig coming in, and New Jersey Mike around, Tuggle wasn't going to see the field for the offense ever again.
The main focus here should be on losing Josh Haden, a prized recruit when he came in, but a kid plagued with injuries and playing in the shadow of the freshman phenom Montel harris last year. Harris exceeded expectations last year and I believe the coaching staff this year are wearing their Ninja colored glasses. Haden is a different player from Harris, and you can see that with his ability to get decent runs with limited touches. I thought (when healthy) he was a great complement to harris. This year i think Harris has been run into the ground, especially when he has proven to be completely ineffective. Our 3 losses to Clemson, Virginia Tech and Notre Dame, Harris had 13, 43, and 38 yards respectively.
There were plenty of things we could have done different here, but we chose to stick with Harris even with him being struggling against top talent. In fact, Harris has yet to put together back to back games of 80+ yards this season. Now whether Haden could have solved the BC running problem in some circumstances that's a question we'll never know. (I am starting to doubt whether all his injuries kept him out of the lineup or was it the coaching staff).
Harris was always going to carry the load, as he should, but our dedication to get him 20+ carries and limit the carries of Haden/Finch may prove to be the downfall of our team in the future. IF Harris goes down injured, we are left with Finch (promising) and the man made of glass, Jeff Smith. I'm not optimistic. I hate to see Haden go, and I guarantee a big time team will scoop him up shortly.

Alisha Brennon, whose civil union partner Christina Santiago was killed in a stage collapse at a Sugarland concert in August, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Marion County, Indiana, where the incident occurred. Because Indiana does not recognize domestic partnerships, it is uncertain whether a court will allow Brennon to pursue compensation for her spouse's death.
Brennon's attorney, Kenneth Allen, told the Chicago Tribune she and Santiago were among the first in line after Illinois legalized civil unions in June.
Andrew M. Koppelman, a professor at Northwestern University Law School, told the Tribune that Brennon faces an uphill legal battle because Indiana does not recognize same-sex relationships and only allows surviving spouses or other family members of victims to file wrongful death lawsuits.
Don Sherfick, vice president of Indiana Equity Action, told the newspaper that same-sex couples should consider drawing up documents such as a last will and testament to protect themselves from legal complications following unforeseen events.
The Sugarland stage collapse killed seven people and injured more than 40, and the state of Indiana has already received multiple tort claims, some of which name Sugarland band members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush as potential defendants. The state's tort fund of $5 million will be difficult to distribute fairly among all the affected parties, an Indiana official told The Associated Press.

Half of concrete mixers inadequateJULIAN RICHARDSON Assistant Business Co-ordinator firstname.lastname@example.com
MORE than half of ready-mix concrete producers in Jamaica are inadequately trained to make the product properly, said a senior engineer at Bureau of Standards Jamaica (BSJ).
The majority of the practitioners are particularly substandard with their testing methodology in seeking to verify the strength of concrete, said the BSJ's David Allen.
"What you find happening is that the persons on-site are not testing according to any prescribed standards, they themselves don't have the training and are appointing persons who are untrained, and are making their samples with non-standard procedures," said Allen.
"In the end, what you have is a test that would have not verified the quality of the concrete in the structure," he said.
The upshot is that you have buildings being put up for which the strength are not really known, Allen revealed. It contributes to the uneasiness over the readiness of Jamaican buildings for a major earthquake.
Allen said, due to the seriousness of the problem, the BSJ last year enforced a registration programme, that has been on the books since 1999, to monitor producers of ready-mix concrete.
The BSJ senior engineer was addressing contractors at a concrete seminar hosted by Jamaica Pre-Mix Concrete at the Courtleigh Hotel on Wednesday. Jamaica Pre-Mix is the largest suppliers of readymixed concrete in Jamaica.
Jamaica Pre-Mix Managing Director John Valentine said the company decided to host the event due to "escalating incidents" of failures within the industry due to a breakdown of the systems and procedures which govern proper concrete testing.
"There has been a gradual but noticeable deterioration of the quality of concreting in general with failures due to improper consolidation, curing, placing, etc, all being laid at the supplier's feet who more often than not have supplied a good product," said Valentine.
The seminar included a presentation by Trinidadian concrete technologist Danny Jairam, who gave contractors a lesson on the properties, installation and testing of concrete.
Valentine said the attitude that concrete is simply cement, sand and stone mixed up is to be dispelled.
"Many highly trained professionals have made their life's work out of research and development of concrete resulting in tried and proven specifications being created by every developed country governing the raw material, manufacture, delivery placing and finishing of concrete a lot of which is abondoned now in Jamaica," he said.
Meanwhile, Jamaica Pre-Mix used the occasion to introduce its latest product, lightweight concrete, which the company said will benefit consumers in special applications when conventional concrete would be too heavy.
"It is a new product in Jamaica, we tried to do it here (before) but couldn't because one of the component was very expensive because we had to import it," said Jamaica Pre-mix Production M*anager Noel Ricketts.
The material is comprised of lightweight aggregate, which acts as a replacement for the normal sand and gravel portion in conventional concrete, Ricketts said. The production manager stated that Jamaica Pre-Mix is the only company in Jamaica with the technology currently to produce lightweight concrete.
"It costs a little more than conventional concrete but it works back where you would use less steel and concrete," he said.

Then did some researching and took a journey to their MySpace page and i was hooked. Their album is absolutely shocking. Sounds like a re-done album from the mid 80's – early 90's thrash. Its defintely a sound of sweetness. PICK IT UP! If you like Slayer, Death, early Obituary then these guys are for you. m/ m/

News: Diddy Handcuffed By "5-0" In Hawaii
Thursday, Mar 3, 2011 8:07AM
Actor/Rapper Diddy was photographed getting handcuffed by on-screen police yesterday during the filming of his upcoming appearance on television show "Hawaii Five-O."
Photos of the rap mogul getting arrested in Hawaii hit the Internet Wednesday (March 2) evening.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has run into trouble with the law in the past, but this time it was only for TV. The rapper-turned-actor was handcuffed by actor Daniel Dae Kim while filming scenes for his guest appearance on CBS' crime drama series "Hawaii Five-0" in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Wednesday (March 2). The hip-hop mogul plays undercover cop Reggie Williams who heads to the tropical island to hunt down those responsible for a brutal crime against his family. According to TV Guide, he trained for the role with a real Navy SEAL and participated in weapons training. (Rap-Up)
Reports of Diddy's participation on the television show emerged in late January.
In his first action role, the rapper and music producer will play detective Reggie Williams, who is in Honolulu on a solo mission to hunt for the men responsible for a crime against his family. His quest for justice collides with the "Five-O" team. CBS said Combs will undergo weapons instruction and training with a Navy S.E.A.L. to prepare for the role. Several of his hit songs will be featured throughout the episode, which will air sometime later this spring. (Billboard)
Reportedly, a portion of Diddy's music catalogue will also be featured during the episode.
The network said Wednesday that several of Combs' hit songs will be featured on the episode, slated to air this spring. Combs' other acting credits include "Monster's Ball" and an Emmy-nominated performance in "A Raisin in the Sun". "Hawaii Five-O" stars Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan. It regularly airs Mondays at 10 p.m. EST. (WLTX News)
Last November, Queens emcee Nas appeared as a villain in an episode of "Hawaii Five-O."
The rapper, who once intoned "Tell Hawaii 5-0 to catch me at the Pro Bowl," starred in the episode as the evil Gordon Smith -- a computer booster that violates parole and ends up committing a string of crimes to try to stay away from the long arm of the law. The news, which probably would have remained unnoticed by most hip-hop heads, was broken by Questlove while doing a little channel flipping. "Is that Nas on Hawaii 5-0," he tweeted to an entertained Internet. (The Boom Box)

On the heels of my recent piece on director Tim Story, which I was happy to see travel quite well (read: Tim Story: The Top-Grossing Black Director Many Apparently Still Aren't Familiar With), here's a new interview with the filmmaker that fills in some holes I couldn't, and more, with a lot of good information, coming directly from the man himself, in conversation with Ava DuVernay, during an episode of AFFRM's new podcast series, titled The Call-In.
Take a peek behind the proverbial curtain.

"true. any other time, he (careycarey) would beon the crybabies side, but he worships sergo and tambay" ~ The Hunted, aka Troll Hunter
Well boys, I wouldn't say I worship Sergio and Tambay but listen, when they're right or being falsely accussed, I have no problem saying so. Today we have someone accussing them of being "fanboy-ish" - in a negative connotation - simply because they posted this conversation between Tim Story and Ava DuVernay. Yeah, ridiculous to say the least. I mean, granted, each of the crew has their favorite actors, directors, cinematographers, etc, but for the most part S&A's mission is that of a reporter/presenter of any and everything on cinema of the African diaspora. OH MY... lookie there, that's what their header says. But for some strange reason, that I am yet to figure out, some folks take it upon themselves to redefine their mission.
Anyway, in reference to this posting, it may not have been the most dynamic of the hundreds they'll post THIS MONTH ALONE, but based on the comments, it's safe to say it was enlightening and informative and enjoyed by many. So the next time someone **coughBarneyFifecough** is considering throwing shade on S&A simply because of ONE post they found to be boring enough to put them to sleep, maybe they should consider their mission and their position as presenters of information, and catch a clue from their Netflix postings --> "As usual... these aren't necessarily recommendations (except for where specified). Consider the list more of an FYI - films and TV shows we've talked about on this site, at one time or another, that are now streaming on Netflix, that you might want to check out for yourselves" ~ S&A
Yep, it's that simple. If one doesn't like any of their FYI's on movies, people, places and things, they should walk on down the street and find something that's more pleasing to them.

I feel almost silly posting these photos because they're sort of dishonest. They paint a picture of a life spent romping in gardens and dancing in fountains. While we do actually do those things, the majority of our time lately is spent groggily feeling our way through the day. Most nights I've been staying up quite late to get writing and editing done, and during the days we've been paying for it.
Things are going surprisingly well, surprisingly easily, especially since it has been so difficult to get momentum going on a book-length project. I've sent a first round of pages out for comments and am about to start on the proposal. I'm choosing to be optimistic and live as though of course everything will fall into place and this book will get published. Doesn't it seem like people who just believe stuff like that happen to have great things happen to them? See how I pick this shit up! And I never even watched Oprah.
Bea, meanwhile, is also having a way with words. She makes specific meal demands: "I want nuggets, yogurt, and chips" and if I try to grab something else she throws herself on the floor: "I don't want that!" On the way to lunch this afternoon she wouldn't stop talking about fries. I asked her if maybe she'd like some fruit and chicken? She went berzerk and I had to reassure her, "Okay, I promise. Only fries! No chicken." I then noticed a little boy staring at us and laughing. Fair enough. The other day she said, "No, that's mommy's" when Alden brought out the mop. I'm going to start reading her Betty Friedan for her bedtime stories.
Kasper, for his part, crawls and flips and rolls and bulldozes his way through the house like a ferocious little Swiffer. And his first two teeth just poked through on Monday. I think I'm in a developmental sweet spot with both of them. Kasper will get harder to keep track of when he starts walking and I've heard that many toddlers are trying during the second half of their second year. I better hurry up and write now before the shit hits.
Now, photographic evidence of much frolicking.

Oswalt feels fine during bullpen session
Right-hander throws for first time since going on 15-day DL
HOUSTON -- Astros right-hander Roy Oswalt threw his first bullpen session since going on the 15-day disabled list before Wednesday's game, throwing between 40-50 pitches.
Houston's ace, who was placed on the DL on July 12 for a strained left hip abductor he suffered on June 30, said he threw fastballs and changeups during the 10-minute session.
He said he felt "good" and had no discomfort.
"I didn't throw 100 percent," Oswalt said. "I threw about 75 to 80 percent, and it feels pretty good. I'll know a lot more Friday, when I throw 100 percent and see how I feel."
Oswalt, who threw on flat ground the day before, is expected to pitch on July 28 against the Reds in Houston, his first start since a one-inning, 17-pitch outing on July 11.
Astros manager Cecil Cooper said Friday's bullpen session will be the determining factor in deciding if Oswalt is ready, and Oswalt said there is no reason to rush his return.
"The biggest thing is no matter how hard you push yourself in the bullpen, once you get a hitter in front of you, you always crank it up a little bit more," he said. "The best thing about it is my mechanics are good enough to make my body take all the load instead of my arm. I'd rather have body parts instead of arms be sore. Once your arm starts hurting, it's hard to change that."

In case you needed any proof that very little of Vancouver's Wednesday night riots technically had anything to do with sports: multiple local businesses are claiming more than thousands of dollars worth of merchandise were lost to looters. In most American cities, this would inspire lots of people to start throwing around the word thugs, but at least hooligans is popping up.
British Columbia's CTV reports the post-Stanley Cup mayhem and looting amounts to "millions of dollars" in damage done to a construction site, clothing store, coffee shop and dozens of other businesses.
Nearby London Drugs was perhaps the hardest-hit venue, with 20 employees forced to retreat when a mob broke through the store's locked and barricaded doors. The company's CEO estimates a $1 million total setback due to destruction and stolen product.

News: Waka Flocka Flame Drops His Pants, "[He] Stripped Down Naked" [Video]
Sunday, Feb 27, 2011 10:52AM
Southern rapper Waka Flocka Flame has revealed his true motivation for getting involved in a new nude "Ink Not Mink" PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) campaign.
According to Waka, love and admiration for his own dog inspired the animal rights move.
"I don't want anybody to beat my dog, scare my dog or whip my dog," he tells RumorFix exclusively, adding that he thought PETA was the perfect group to work with after spending sometime researching them. Our staff was the only media outlet allowed to shoot behind-the-scenes video of Waka's photo shoot. The rapper, known for the hit song "No Hands," stripped down naked for the PETA cameras, but our cameras were only allowed to capture the G-rated version of the shoot. Waka was wearing little more than his famous "Waka" gold necklace and other chains that were the target of a botched armed robbery attempt on February 16 in Charlotte, North Carolina. When asked what he thought about people wearing fur, he joked, "It's nasty. We don't do that! Ink not mink!" (RumorFix)
A few weeks ago, PETA spokesperson Megan Rondeau spoke to SOHH about celebrities going nude for animals.
"Celebrities and athletes don't have to be vegetarian or vegan," PETA spokesperson Megan Rondeau told SOHH when asked if Flocka had to give up eating meat to participate in their campaigns. "That's not a problem at all. I think that people often find there might be one cause that they're very compassionate about and we love to work with them on it. [Our naked celebrity PETA campaigns] kind of goes both ways. Sometimes an artist will say, 'I want to do a naked ad.' I'm not sure if in this specific case whether Waka said that, but a lot of times, yes, artists and athletes will say they want to do it naked and they're so all about it because it gets so much press -- I think people get really excited about it and want to get the message out which is not to support the fur industry. So I think we try to really work with the celebrity and we would never try to push somebody to get naked if that was something they didn't feel comfortable doing." (SOHH)
Earlier this month, Waka revealed his affiliation with PETA.
Launching on February 22, Waka will be joining PETA's "Ink Not Mink" campaign in Los Angeles, CA alongside Lady Gaga, Pink, and Mariah Carey, Flame's publicist, Kali Bowyer said. When commenting on his involvement with PETA, the 1017 Brick Squad rep told XXL, "Animals should be treated the same as you would a kid. Would you want someone just to walk up and skin your kid? H*ll no!" (XXL Mag)
Last September, rap star 50 Cent upset PETA after posting controversial animal photos to his Twitter page.
"Oprah is a miniature schnauzer. She was born in a litter of 8 puppies. Just my luck I picked the only a**hole"
"Now this is how you shut a b*tch up http://twitpic.com/2qejfi"
"yeah I thought u'd change your mind b*tch! http://twitpic.com/2qelil"
"Now this is to the Peta people: Stay off my motherf*cking twitter page I don't give a f*ck! Lol" (50 Cent's Twitter)

'Monster snake' replica to be exhibited in Lincoln
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A replica of the world's largest snake will go on exhibit later in February at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Morrill Hall.
The 48-foot-long replica is of the Titanboa cerrejonensis, which scientists say weighed up to an estimated 2,500 pounds. The Titanboas lived 60 million years ago.
The museum exhibit will include fossils and bones of Titanoboa and modern reptiles, exhibits on past environments and clips from the Smithsonian Channel documentary, ``Titanoboa: Monster Snake.''
For more information go online at http://museum.unl.edu/Titanoboa.
The exhibit opens Feb. 22 and runs through Sept. 7.

Hello fellow rams fans
As the first quarter of the NFL season comes the a close there is a lot to talk about but. The main problem is the running game it's disgusting along with the interior run blocking. The problem is the blocking scheme i have recorded every game and watched all of them over and over and what i've noticed is this blocking scheme does not fit the type of back D Rich is. D Rich is a one cut type of back and those type of backs work well in zone blocking schemes because it allows the running back to move laterally to find a hole or cutback lane. The scheme that we are running is a power run base man to man blocking scheme with one double team depending on which side the play is going to then you might see an occasional sweep were the guard pulls but never any counter runs or even a misdirection. This would be not be that big of a problem if the rams had a power back D Rich is not that type of runner neither is Pead at this point Stacy is the only option we have to get this running game on track. He brings power and he is shifty enough in space to break tackles D Rich is what we though he was a change of pace back.
The offensive line isn't as bad as people make it out to be if you look around the NFL it plenty of o-lines that are not performing well but there winning so nobody talks about there play like the Colts,Titans,Dolphins,Patriots,Bengals when your losing the o-line is always second in line to blame. The offensive running blocking scheme is the problem the coaching staff not making the proper adjustments is the problem no offensive creativity is the problem. I stay we fire shotty and let Bradford call he's own plays it has done wonders for Tony Romo all they need is a better defense and running back and there good to go.
As always let me know what you think you opinions are greatly appreciated.

And this is as close as the Coolpix could get to the rotor with my nightly light setup. I did not make much effort to setup my studio, my first concern was that the work bench was properly organized. I just used a National Desktop lamp with a flexible neck and turned that neck away, so that actually only little light was thrown onto the objects. I found that digital cameras do not really care how much light there is, but that the consistency of the light (no dark and no bright spots) is much more important.

Montana Hydroelectric Security Act, I-145 (2002)
The Montana Hydroelectric Security Act, or I-145, was an initiated state statute on the November 5, 2002 ballot in Montana, where it was defeated.
The initiative sought to create a public power commission to purchase or condemn hydroelectric dams for the public's interest.
Election results
|I-145 (Montana Hydroelectric Security Act)
Official results via: The Montana Secretary of State
Text of measure
The language that appeared on the ballot:
This initiative creates an elected public power commission to determine whether purchasing hydroelectric dams in Montana is in the public interest and repeals the Montana Power Authority created by the 2001 legislature. The commission could negotiate to purchase the dams or, if necessary, use the power of condemnation to acquire the dams at fair market value. To pay for the dams, the state could issue $500 million in bonds to be repaid by the sale of generated electricity. Montana's small consumers would get priority to purchase the electricity. The commission also may invest in renewable energy and conservation projects.
Costs for assessing if acquisition of one or more hydroelectric facilities is in the public interest could be from $6 to $12 million. Purchase price and other costs are undeterminable now.

VEEDERSBURG, Ind. —
Town council members received a presentation Tuesday from Rick Dillon with GP Designs of Marion, Ind.
Dillon displayed examples of a 3-foot tall-snowflake light and 5-foot-tall snowflake light. The snowflake lights feature new LED bulbs that use less than a watt of power, have 50,000 hours of life, and are durable compared to incandescent lights.
Crystal Brewer with the Veedersburg Revitalization Association said that there are 64 light poles in Veedersburg that could have lights hung upon them. The intersection of Main Street and U.S. 136 would have a custom snowflake light skyline. The 3-foot snowflakes with mounts cost $219.45 each, the 5-foot snowflakes with mounts cost $219.45 each, and the downtown snowflake skyline lights cost $1,975 each.
If the town decides to get 32 3-foot snowflakes, 32 5-foot snowflakes, and two of the snowflake skylines, the total comes to $15,623.60.
Dillon said that his proposal is good through April 2. Council members will discuss the possible purchase at their March 26 meeting.
In other business, town council members:
Conducted a public hearing for the Main Street Revitalization grant. The grant proposal is due March 22 to the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs. Cory Whitesell, with HWC Engineering of Indianapolis, laid out Veedersburg's grant proposal. Whitesell said that "the basic priority is getting new sidewalks in downtown on Main Street from First Street to Third Street."
The grant awards up to $250,000 and the town would have to match at least 20 percent of the project's total amount, which Whitesell estimates between $350,000 and $400,000. The project includes the replacement of sidewalks, curbs, asphalt patching, street lights and the miscellaneous costs.
Mike Booe with the Veedersburg Redevelopment Commission, said the "primary focus of the project is to make the sidewalks accessible and safe with good lighting."
Anita Carpenter, the town's grant writer, added the actual grant application is due May 20. The grants are announced in August.
Approved Jyma Payton as the town's swimming pool manager.
Approved paying the town's portion of $10,300 toward a new grass fire truck costing $60,800. Fire Chief Terry Shields said that the fire truck is being put together by Vice Ford of Ladoga, Ind.
Learned from Joe Whitaker with the Fountain County Emergency Management that a workshop for elected and appointed officials will be 2-4 p.m. EDT March 26 at the Covington fire station.

Replacement refs. They need to go. I'm not going to start rooting for the Packers, but they were robbed. In plain sight. Under the bright spotlights of MNF. After a second look at replay cameras. Pitiful.
It does leave the Bears atop the NFC North (they beat the Colts, the 2-1 Vikings did not), but it is a smeared lead, deserving of the asterisk suggested by Raji et al. Let's all hope that deal gets done before TNF...
9-7 is not bad, per se, but it isn't exactly great, either. The final-moments defense of many teams very much earned an assessment of atrocious, however, as a good number of these games were won in the last 2 minutes, or overtime, when one team had a commanding league.
Rams @ Bears:
So the O didn't bounce back. Completely. Playcalling certainly improved, but execution...needs work. The D was stifling, the line was overpowering, the secondary was playing (the) ball. Pressuring the QB. It works, fellas. If defense wins championships, then judging by the early returns, we're set. Also, Tim Jennings literally had a hand in every INT this season. Dude's balling out of his mind, and people are taking notice.
Lions @ Titans:
An exciting game, to be sure. A final score of 44-41 is apt to be so, and 6 TDs in the final quarter certainly makes for good TV. Jake Locker was good, Chris Johnson...was not. It didn't seem to matter, but CJ has too much talent to not have at least 100 yds after 3 games. Also, Stafford was injured and Shaun Hill led a very spirited comeback attempt. Then the Lions, not trusting their D, being greedy, or just...I dunno, but not taking the 3 points on fourth down at the 7 yard line was not a good idea. Then again, hindsight is 20/20.
Eagles @ Cardinals:
Man, those Cardinals have a defense, huh? Also, the Eagles turnover problems finally came back to bite them. Kevin Kolb is finally giving the Cards something in the ROI department, and that's great for him. It's cool to see guys just keep chipping away until something clicks, and they find the success that they have been searching for.
Patriots @ Ravens:
The Ravens are playing some good football right now. Their defense may not be what it once was, but that offense--Joe Flacco in particular--is really taking flight. It was inspiring to see Torrey Smith play after receiving the news of his brother's passing, and even more admirable that he had the game he did, a la Brett Favre. It came down to a last-minute field goal again, but this time...the Ravens came out on top.
25-23 after three weeks. I'll try to improve that this week, but we'll see what happens, especially with the refereeing crisis.

As promised, I've planned to start photographing things that happen around my house while living with a 6 foot 4 Viking. Tonight, I came home to a broken hinge on the sliding glass door.
Who is to blame?
The Viking?
The dog?
The cleaners.
You decide.
Now, the question is - do I try to repair it or get new cloth blinds?
General musings about my life with my boyfriend, otherwise known as The Viking. After years of being single, I finally found someone that was able to withstand my neurotic antics. We moved in together in 2010 and we've had our fair share of ups and downs, laughs and tears. This is our life.

The Orange Leader
There are some situations a parent should never face.
Taylor's Gift is an exceptionally well written story about the loss of a child, the grieving process and how one family turned tragedy into a gift.
Taylor was a unique thirteen year old when her life was cut short during a family vacation. The last thing one would expect while enjoying time away from the normal busy schedules of daily life.
The book starts just moments before tragedy strikes the family, turning their world upside down. The questions the parents had to face and the choices they made turned their loss into a gift for others when Todd and Tara Storch donated Taylor's organs.
The story is not just about how the family survived the loss of a child but also about the birth of Taylor's Gift Foundation. Taylor's father co-founded the foundation with his wife to promote organ donation and registration.
The book is written by Todd and Tara Storch with Jennifer Schuchmann. It is written in such a way that one can feel and understand what each parent experienced as they worked through their grief and faith.
The story is extremely emotional, touching and inspiring.
Taylor's Gift: A Courageous Story of Giving Life and Renewing Hope, 336 pages, published by Revell, is classified as a Memoir/Inpirational.

In his mailbag this morning, ESPN's Adam Schefter claimed that not only did he think a deal with the Cardinals for Kevin Kolb will ultimately happen, but that the teams actually talked about a deal during the first day of the draft.
The Cardinals and Eagles were allowed to discuss a deal at various points this offseason, including the first day of the draft. Arizona had the chance to draft Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert in Round 1 -- and passed. That tells me that the Cardinals believe they can find a way to land Kolb once trades are allowed
In one sense, it's odd to think the Eagles and Cardinals would be talking about a trade they weren't allowed to make on the first day of the draft. However, if the Cardinals were trying to nail down a price for Kolb, it would make sense that they would weigh that against the cost of spending the #5 pick on a QB or potentially trying to trade down. Schefter takes the fact that Arizona opted not to select a QB as a sign that they are set on Kolb...
Obviously, it remains to be seen whether that's true. Still, it is interesting to hear that teams are talking about the framework of deals that can't be made until the lockout is lifted. It really makes you wonder how nuts it's going to be when business resumes in the NFL.

Industry insiders look at the state of ethanol
The Businessman
Jeff Broin is CEO of Poet, the largest U.S. ethanol producer, with a network of 26 plants in seven states.
> Encouraging Prospects
Our nation is awash with grain, we have idle ethanol production capacity and energy prices are skyrocketing. Although our industry has only just emerged from some difficult times, clearly the pieces are in place for ethanol to make tremendous strides in the U.S. fuel market in the future.
The only thing preventing the ethanol industry from making a large dent in petroleum's dominance in the fuel market is regulation—specifically, the 10% ethanol blend cap that is current law in the United States. However, the Environmental Protection Agency is now considering allowing blends of up to 15% ethanol. That would allow us to meet the government's renewable fuel goals under the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS2) and begin the commercial production of cellulosic ethanol.
The Farmer Politician
Bill Northey is Secretary of Agriculture for Iowa, the nation's top ethanol-producing state.
> Regulatory Uncertainties
I expect that existing ethanol plants will continue to operate, but with tight margins in the industry, I don't expect many new plants to be constructed in the short term. Plants are investing in new technologies to make production even more efficient. It is important that any new regulation of carbon take this increased production efficiency into account. I have concerns about some of the indirect land-use proposals that have been made because they use outdated information regarding efficiencies.

I know that's probably not a headline you expected to read today. But in the wacky world of MMA, sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. UFC bantamweight Urijah Faber sent out a birthday tweet to him mom, and included a pretty amusing story as well. The lady he waves says hi to before every fight is apparently not a woman you want to mess with. Here's what he had to say:
You can catch a pic of the perp after the jump, and another of the realistic pellet gun Mama Faber used.

The Light House
It was over 40 years ago when I conceived this idea of a Light House made of light, and listed it in my Conceptual "Sales List".
Two hundred copies of the "Sales List" were sent out to people who followed my artworks.
In 1967, John Lennon invited me for lunch at his house, "Kenwood" in Surrey, England.
It was about six months after we first met in my Indica Gallery Show in London.
He told me that he read about the Light House in my publication and if I would build one for him in his garden.
"Oh, that was a conceptual light house! I'm convinced that one day, it could be built, but I don't know how to do it." I said with a laugh.
"Oh, I thought the Americans had come up with something" was what he said. And that was that.
I still marvel at the fact that John was touched by that particular concept in my catalogue, and 40 years ago at that!
In 1967, for my Lisson Gallery show in London, I re-wrote the concept more succinctly.
This was the way I should have expressed the idea to John in Kenwood, instead of laughing it off.
The light house is a phantom house that is built by sheer light.
You set up prisms at a certain time of day, under a certain evening light which goes
through the prisms, the light house appears in the middle of the field like an image,
except that, with this image, you can actually go inside if you wanted to. The light
house may not emerge every day, just as the sun doesn't shine every day.
Yoko Ono, 1965
Rewritten for Lisson Gallery, London, 1967

This is reality and no one can change it! I know that I´m pretty young, but this man and all his revolutionary ideas changed my life! I wish I could have been older. So many wonderful things happened and I wanted to be a witness of them. It´s hard to see the present when your mind lives in the past.
God bless john Lennon!

What is the environmental impact of the Peace Tower?
I've heard of the Fatal Light Awareness Program ( http://www.flap.org ) so I wonder how many birds this beam of light is killing ever night? Does anyone know? Has anyone counted?
- October 9, 2010 at 12:41 pm
John & Yoko, The Beatles you changed the way american teen aged girl thought about life and the world. You were my greatest teachers. Thank you. Happy Birthday John. Love and blessings to you, Yoko.

Beautiful sight, Yoko. Thank You and thanks to John on his birthday. Peace to all. Love IS all you need.
- October 9, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Well, within few days I'll be fifty, ten years older than him… twenty years of distance mean that I was a boy when The Beatles ended, a teenager when I begun to listen to his work, and a young man when I heard of his death. Now, if I look into myself I still see something that John has left inside. Looking at that tower of light, I remember a starry night when I was in front of that wall in Prague and the notes of Imagine were spreading from a small speaker. Of course I say "happy birthday, and thanks". Sergio.
- October 9, 2010 at 9:31 pm
Those prisms of light that beam across the universe will reflect our consciousness from within.
Happy Birthday, John — Yoko, you have established a magical and magnificent masterpiece with an awesome, paramount view.

I feel blessed to have witnessed this event. A series of synchronistic events enabled me to be online at 3am (australia time) I did not know it was john's b/day or about the peace tower till that time. Now more is unfolding, especially with 10.10.10 just passing
thankyou for providing a unique experience and opportunity to promote peace yet again Yoko

- September 1, 2011 at 3:09 am
I was at the Dakotas on that day. People were slowly starting to gather in the park. I remember an older woman saying to me while crying.," It's over, it's all over, everything we've worked for." and I said "No it's not. It's just starting to expand with a greater radiation". I've never given up. There's nothing to give up/but there's everything to appreciate. We all do shine on. For those who didn't get the message then from John's lips, maybe they will now. I'm so glad all of you are here. Thanks Yoko for doing this.
- October 6, 2011 at 1:17 pm
The man was and still is a legend…he is still here…he will always be remembered…a legend is never really gone…and you are legend also Ms. Yoko…may you be remembered for all the right and wonderful reasons…not just Johns widow…not just Seans Mom…not just the one, who caused the break, well you know…but a better than brilliant mind…you are also a light in the field…not to crazy about your music…but liking your heart and mind…
- October 7, 2011 at 9:05 pm
The world could sure use you now. You are missed so much and by so many. Thanks for all you gave us, music and deeds. Not many people have the talent, guts and vision you brought into this life. Where ever you are, you are here. Peace.

Yoko – feel a kindred spirit with you in that I write songs that are sometimes a little too bold. my newest: T*S*A blues…you get the drift. I love your courage. I love that you and John loved fiercely and nothing has changed that. Was sitting on a bench at Rudy Records when Graham found out. I was a 21 yr old studio assistant. wordless. No one spoke much for a few days. Elliot was a friend. What a quiet force and so much I learned there. I felt connected somehow to people telling the truth through music and it gave me courage.
Thankyou. Stay bold -stay true – shine on.
- December 2, 2012 at 7:18 pm

A beautiful story of 2 artists meeting. Yoko, you did build John a beautiful "Light House" in his garden with the installation of the Imagine Peace Tower <3 in Iceland, fulfilling his request. The world was John's garden, in which he planted the many seeds of love, peace, beauty, healing, fatherhood, and humanity in all of our hearts. I too am one of the flowers that grew up in the world inspired by John's eternal light, as expressed for us all in the deep longing for Peace & Unity, Fairness & Equality in his song, Imagine. Had John not experienced your poetry about surviving WW2 as a child, the light that joins all our hearts may not have been ignited. I first heard Imagine when I was 12, and John gave me hope that Peaceful adults were in the world and very publicly were calling for a more sane & humanitarian world for us all. Thank you both for expressing the truth in your souls & for coming together to form a mature, dynamic, artistic partnership between a man & a woman that the world needed to see & experience. <3

Timothy A. Human, 19, of Woodridge was charged with retail theft after allegedly taking a bottle of vodka valued at $36.43 from Dominick's, 42 Ogden Ave., at 9 p.m. June 30.
Police were called by store manager, who told police Human allegedly had taken a bottle from the shelf and walked out of the store. The manager attempted to stop Human, but he got in a car and left the parking lot.
After being provided with a license plate number for a car registered to an address in the 400 block of Rogers Street, police went to the residence until the car drove up with Human as a passenger.
When questioned, Human told police he had been at the Dominick's store and said, "I took something from the store." An officer saw a bottle of vodka on the floor of the car between Human's feet. After the store confirmed it would file a complaint, Human was handcuffed and taken to the station.

A Garden Center Field Trip
Helping an errand blossom into an adventure (so natural at the garden center in spring) just takes a little advance prep. Here are suggestions for enlivening the visit, broken down by age.
All ages
First off, try calling ahead. Ask where the things you need are located and see if there's a kid-favored area (a koi pond, a topiary display). Exploring that spot together can be the carrot you dangle while shopping for items on your list.
Another enticement is to promise to let your kids plant something at home (sunflowers and Easter egg radishes are fun and easy to grow from seed). In my case, I took one look at my son and that grapevine and knew it was destiny. Their love affair continues. Niles (or "The Vintner," as my husband now calls him) talks and dreams about the grapes it will grow. He wants me to have the first one.
Keep novice walkers from straying by announcing that you're going on a sniff-and-touch safari. Try the azalea: smelled okay to me, but my kids winced, fanned their faces, and enthusiastically pretended to faint. Say you're hunting a plant that feels like a lamb's ear (it's actually called lamb's ear). Visit the cacti, gingerly tap a large needle, and talk about how the plant protects itself. One inspired grandmother I know, realizing how much a toddler yearns to touch, steers her grandson to the sturdy decoratives like birdbaths and iron frogs. Garden gnomes are great sports about being poked up the nostril while hearing all about those nasty azaleas.
At this age, kids' empathy for small things looms large, so let them follow their instinct to rescue and tend. ("Look how little the plants are," says Phoebe wistfully. "They need someone to take care of them.") Laura MacKeil, a mom and former general manager of a garden center, recommends giving preschoolers a treasure list of plants to locate. That can mean a verbal "find a pink flower" or matching the photos from a garden circular or catalog. Let your kids identify and cherish any stray blossoms they see on the pathways. Take a journal or hardback book to use as a flower press. Or take a cue from California gardener Adeline Mascareno, who designates her younger son "the official caretaker of each new 'little brother' or 'little sister' we place in the cart. I allow him to hold and baby the plants." For kids, that's a role to relish. For parents, it's a memory to hold dear.
Kindergarteners and up
Need someone to locate the tags on plants and read the numbers in the price? Big kids proudly serve. They're also great fans of funny plant names: sticky monkey flower, bat face, kiss me over the garden gate. On the ride home, try making up a story using the names ("One day, a sticky monkey flower made a mean bat face and...").
A visit to the seed packet racks lets you explain the difference between annuals and perennials. These packets also give the plants' eventual height, so take along a measuring tape, or borrow one from a salesperson. Measure your children in plant heights. Or try it vice versa: Two red bunny tails equals one Phoebe equals lots of giggles.

Slow cooking beef stew creates a deep rich flavor that tastes even better the next day! Cozy up to a fire and have a cup a comforting stew! See below for a fun idea on how to serve your beef stew leftovers.
Beef Stew Recipe
2-1/2 pounds chuck beef, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
1 bottle of good red wine
3 whole garlic cloves, smashed
3 bay leaves
6 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
olive oil
2 cups onion, chopped
2 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut diagonally in 1-1/2 inch chunks
1 pound small potatoes, halved or quartered
2 cups beef stock
1 large branch rosemary
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoon pepper
1 – 10-ounce package frozen peas (not petite)
Place the beef in a bowl with the red wine, whole garlic, and bay leaves. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate overnight.
The next day, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Brown bacon in a large (12-inch) saute pan for 5 to 7 minutes , over medium-low heat. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a Dutch oven. Combine 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper. Lift the beef out of the marinade and discard the bay leaves and garlic, saving the marinade. In batches, dredge the cubes of beef in the flour mixture and then shake off the excess. In the saute pan, brown half the beef over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Place the beef in the Dutch oven with the bacon and continue to brown the remaining beef, placing it all in the Dutch oven. NOTE: If the pan gets dry add Olive Oil.
Lower the heat to medium-low, add the onions to the saute pan, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Place all the vegetables in the Dutch oven with the beef. Ad 2-1/2 cups of the reserved marinade (discard the rest) to the saute pan and cook over high heat to de-glaze the bottom of the pan, scraping up all the brown bits with a wooden spoon.

Engagement is an important aspect of the Plymouth State University experience. The Office of Research and Engagement provides support in developing purposeful service learning projects for students. Service learning is a powerful tool that combines formal academic instruction, with a meaningful service experience. This type of learning engages the complete person. It requires reflection and inspires a deeper level of self-awareness. Through service, students gain new perspectives through applying academic curriculum in practical settings. Service learning creates opportunities for students to develop unique skill sets and learn how to contribute them in order to build a better society.
