I was riding up out of Deer Park in Fairfax late Saturday morning with 2 friends just a bit behind me. Deer Park fire road typically has fairly regular traffic on sunny weekends, bikes, equestrians, hikers, many with kids, dogs etc. A large group of riders past me going downhill at a pretty good clip. Many were wearing BTCEB jerseys. Mostly single file, many called out (loudly) as they passed. I thought they were going kinda quick for a high traffic area with many blind turns. But I let it go as I saw no one else heading up.
I stopped at 5 corners and waited for my friends. They took awhile to arrive. When they did, I discovered that my buddy Ed had been hit head on by the last rider in the BTCEB group. They banged helmets & Ed was knocked off the (wide) fire road, about 15' down a very steep embankment. He sustained an impact to his head, and had a laceration on his chin and a larger one on his wrist. The rider who hit him was on the outside of the trail (wrong side for descent). He narrowly missed the woman who was with us, then connected with Ed -an experienced rider who was on the right side of the road. The other rider did help Ed up the embankment & apologized. As I didn't witness the incident, I will allow that the rider who hit Ed MIGHT not have been with the BTCEB group, but I suspect he was. Don't know if he was wearing BTCEB kit.
We encountered another large group of BTCEB riders at 5 corners and told them about the incident. I suggested that the ride leader should have been more responsible for keeping a large group in control on a high traffic fire road. Not easy to stop a large group of riders if something shows up around a blind turn. Also at 5 corners, we saw another friend with his 6 year old son on a ride. They had come up the same way we had. If that last rider from the BTCEB group had hit the 6 year old -or an equestrian, older hiker whatever, it could have been a serious crash. My buddy felt the effects of the head knock all the way up Tam. Even without crashes, a large group moving at speed, calling out loudly, is not going to win over any new bike advocates.
Want to enjoy a nice frisky group ride? How about Pine Mtn., Tamarancho, or other more remote areas? The BTCEB group had some pretty experienced looking ride leaders. I'll bet they all put in plenty of time for bike advocacy, trail work, etc. But let's not have avoidable crashes, or high speed posses near popular trailheads. I ride with larger groups once in awhile, and have seen how easy it is to leave a wake of pissed off trail users. Sometimes I understand why bikes aren't very popular with non riders. Let's not give the haters any more ammo, OK?

ODESSA - An Odessa man says he was stalked and then stabbed after leaving a bar.
Officers were called out to the 3600 block of Merrill around 2 a.m. on Monday.
Francisco Olivas told officers he left a bar and then noticed he was being followed.
However, he couldn't describe the make or model of the vehicle.
In order to get away, Olivas turned onto Merrill and crashed into a parked vehicle.
He says the man that was following him, opened his door and began stabbing him several times in the chest.
He was taken to the hospital but has since been released.
Olivas described his attacker as a Hispanic man around 25-years-old with short hair and a long nose.
If you have any information, you're asked to call Odessa Police or Odessa Crimestoppers.

With Christmas a little more than a week away, there are several postal deadlines we all need to know about.
Saturday was the last day to send mail at the parcel post rate which is the cheapest way.
And package after merry package are heading to destinations across the country and around the globe. From North Carolina to Oslo, Norway, Lubbockites were sending packages out in droves to meet the deadline. But there was a unique story among the crowd today.
"I wanted to send a few Christmas cards to soldiers overseas," said Cynthia Craker.
Craker asked the military if she could help by just sending a few.
"And they sent me 720 requests for Christmas cards," she said.
So Cynthia set up shop at stores across Lubbock to involve the community. When it was all said and done, "I've sent 1690 cards," Cynthia said.
If you didn't get your packages in the mail Saturday there are two more deadlines you should mark on your calendar.
The deadline for priority mail and any cards or letters you're sending is December 20th, and if you want to push the envelope, you can wait until December 22nd to send your parcels and packages via Rxpress Mail.
If you have any questions for the post office about sending your gifts, you can call (800) ASK-USPS and they'll be able to help you out.
Lastly, if you're sending anything overseas, unfortunately, those Christmas deadlines have all already passed.

Madame Maddow Warns That Cutting Government Spending Means Money 'Taken Out of the Economy'
Don't you love it when left wingers reveal their actual views on economics?
Rachel Maddow, one of MSNBC's nightly Gang of Five, did this on her show Monday while talking with Chris Hayes of The Nation about Democrats and Republicans battling over the debt ceiling (video after page break) --
On the issue of the overall health of the economy right now, the prospect for a double-dip recession is not only real it is looming. What we just went through with the Great Recession was so traumatic to this economy that we're looking at a decade's long full recovery in terms of, it'll actually restructure the way the American economy is forever.
The Fed and the CBO are saying, as of last week, do not take any spending out of the economy right now. If you want to cut spending in the long run or think about something else, fine, worry about that and have deficit talks, but right now it is too fragile to do this. The Republicans' only demand is that money be taken out of the economy right now.
Got that? Cutting government spending constitutes money taken "out of the economy." Which it does, if one sees government spending as representing the economy as a whole -- and the higher as a portion of GDP, the better.
Maddow predictably gets it backward -- increasing government spending diverts money "out of the economy." True, much of it is filtered back through salaries for public workers and government contracts, but not until an inherently lethargic bureaucracy bites off a big chunk in the process.
Maddow also distorts where Republicans stand on the debt ceiling. Their "only" demand is not that "money be taken out of the economy right now," as she claims. (Again, just the opposite) They also demand that government not siphon more money "out of the economy" through stealth taxes on the most productive people in the country.

Submitted by ant on Thu, 06/30/2011 - 1:14am.
So, Conservatives should 'act right' and put (stimulus) money into savings and that would spur the economy? But, by the same token the excuses listed among big-spending libtards, like Pelosi Galore, is that stimulus will work by giving people (other) people's money to spend. So, are you saying conservatives receiving 'stimulus' must save money to help the economy, but welfare, UC, andfood-stamp spending is good? Am I reading you right? Please explain. If you can't, I will just assume you picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.

Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 06/29/2011 - 8:55pm.
Maybe it was Maddow who explained to then-Speaker Pelosi how every one dollar in unemployment compensation produces two dollars in the economy. "Unemployment is the best stimlus we can have," uttered Pelosi (or words to that effect).
Maddow's utopian society is one where all wealth flows to the government, which it then redistributes it to the public. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Thanks. She's had several. I was thinking about this one . . .
Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 06/29/2011 - 11:07pm.
PELOSI: "This is something that is not only good for these families; it's the right thing to do in a downturn in our economy. But it's also the right thing to do to grow our economy. Economists tell us that unemployment insurance — the non-partisan Urban Institute estimated that unemployment insurance returns $2 to the economy for every $1 spent. This is money that is needed by families to buy necessities, to heat their homes as Edrie said, and immediately injects demand into the economy — creating jobs."
A watchdog group asked her office if they could point to the economist(s) Pelosi was allegedly citing. They couldn't name one, but referred the group to a couple of network TV news sites.
Pelosi's math lends to an absolutely wonderfulk debt-erasing plan.
1. Put every American worker on unemployment -- 100%
2. Borrow $14 trillion dollars from China.
3. Hand out the $14 trillion to the 100% unemployed
4. Quicker than one can say "Uh, let me re-read my statement," it turns into $28 trillion thanks to Pelosi theory
5. Tax the 100% unemployed at 100%; recover $28 trillion
6. Repay China the $14 trillion (with the interest). leavingth $14 trillion minus the interest paid to China, to pay off our national debt. BINGO!
7. What about the 100% unemployed Aemericans? Simply borrow more $$, double it through Pelosi-math, repay the loan with half the $$ and let the unemployed keep the other half.
It's brilliant if you understand Pelosi-nomics.

We should qualdrupple the deficit
Submitted by chazski on Thu, 06/30/2011 - 9:07am.
As I understand the Keynes theory of deficit spending, every dollar the government spends produces $1.50 in the economy, thus you have economic growth. If that theory is valid, it seems to me we should immediately find some succ.., er, I mean, some benevolent nation with more money than they can use and borrow like ten trillion or so dollars, less than 2/3 of our present national debt, and pump it into the economy with more shovel-ready projects. After a year, the ten trillion would grow to fifteen trillion and we could raise taxes just enough to get back the ten trillion and pay back the debt. That would leave the economy with five trillion additional dollars and that would certainly boost the economy. In fact, we could do that every year, increasing the national wealth by five trillion with each pop. If we distributed that to every person equally, like the dems like doing, it would mean $16,000 to each person each year. Of course, we could use that money to pay off the existing national debt in just a few years. Them we could pay everyone the full $16,000 every year.
I think the real problem, however, will be how to actually spend ten trillion each year. Obviously, all the bridges will be repaired and all the pot holes filled in no time, so we'll have to find something really big to do. And since all these shovel-ready projects seem to have something to do with roads, I think there could be nothing bigger than setting to work and paving all our roads, every last one, from every back water country road to every mile of the interstate system and paving them all with actual gold. Gold is completely impervious to weather, lasts forever and would require no maintenance. Best of all, it would be basically free, just like all the entitlement programs which Princess Maddow likes so much, because it would all be done with borrowed money which we would repay. When all of our streets and roads were finally paved with gold, we would finally be the nation so many around the world believe us to be and we could all live happily ever after.
It's a very good thing that Princess Maddow, Happy Matthews, Mr. Ed, Little Larry and the other guy apparently don't read NewsBusters as much as they should because they probably will not see this suggestion. If they did, I'm certain that it would make perfect sense to them and we would have the whole More Stupidity Nobody Believes Completely network, MSNBC, advocating it from here on. And Obama would probably call it his idea and pursue it.

November 25, 2003
Early County, Ga.-- Thanksgiving celebrations start officially in a few hours when families get together for the traditional feast. For one family, this Thanksgiving holds an extra special meaning.
Life isn't always fair, and Louette Odom knows that all to well. "Aneurysm here," says Louette as his finger circles on his stomach pointing out the site of his weakened artery. He could have dropped dead if the aneurysm burst, and the diagnosis could not have come at worse time.
His winter crops needed harvesting and his summer crops needed planting and he could endanger his life if he tried to do it. But, a small army of friends came to his rescue.
"You need to go home and we'll take care of this," said Bobby Rish, one of about 20 farmers who worked Louette's land for him while he recuperated, a custom dating back for years. "Who started this? Our forefathers," said Ike Newberry.
Louette knew he had to have the surgery and wanted to get back to farming as quickly as he could. He expected to have the aneurysm repaired and go home the same day, spending about an hour on the operating table. The surgeon found a much bigger problem, though, taking three hours to repair it with Louette staying in the hospital for seven days.
All the while his friends back home worked his land like he would have.
Louette made a full recovery with his surgeon telling him to "go back and get at it." He couldn't want. How did the volunteer army do? "Excellent. Excellent. There is no other word to describe it," says Louette.
Numbers show what a good job they did, making five thousand pounds of peanuts and 1,476 pounds of cotton per acre. During the six-month growing season, Louette's life made a drastic turn from walking dead man to feeling "Great. Just Great."
He felt so well that he planted a garden, something he was too sick to do a few months back. Louette had a great deal of time to think while recuperating. "You may not be here tomorrow so you better say what you got to say today," says the thankful farmer.
"Try not so sin as much," says Louette with a laugh, and, realize the value of friends who unselfishly help other another without expecting anything in return.
"It's not all about money in this world. You've got to have friends to make it," says Louette. It was the goodness of friends that pulled Louette Odom through a physically and financially troubling time.
This Thanksgiving Louette Odom will give thanks for those friends who helped him. "This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving in my life," says Louette as he pulls greens from his garden.
He is most thankful for unselfish people who helped him when he couldn't help himself.

Placeholder name From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (February 2012)
Placeholder names are words that can refer to objects or people whose names are temporarily forgotten, irrelevant, or unknown in the context in which they are being discussed.
Placeholder names in English[edit source | editbeta]
These words exist in a highly informal register of the English language. In formal speech and writing, words like accessory, paraphernalia, artifact, instrument, or utensil are preferred; these words serve substantially the same function, but differ in connotation.
Most of these words can be documented in at least the nineteenth century. Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story entitled "The Literary Life of Thingum Bob, Esq"., showing that particular form to be in familiar use in the United States in the 1840s. In Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado, W. S. Gilbert makes the Lord High Executioner sing of a "little list" which includes:
... apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind, Such as: What d'ye call him: Thing'em-bob, and likewise: Never-mind, and 'St: 'st: 'st: and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who: The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
Some fields have their own specific placeholder terminology. For example, "widget" in economics or "Blackacre" in law.
People[edit source | editbeta]
Placeholder expressions can refer to people as well. Among words or phrases used in English to refer to people of unknown or irrelevant name are:
- Tom, Dick and Harry, for a series of three specific unnamed (usually male) people; or for any number of unknown people, usually with the term "every", for example: "Every Tom, Dick and Harry showed up to the party". Harriet may sometimes be substituted for Harry for a more gender-balanced version of the phrase, or Sally may be added, as in the TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun. Originated in the Early Modern period of literature as Rafe, Robin, and Dick, who were often used as characters in plays.
- Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and all: another placeholder phrase, in this case used to indicate a long list of people.
- So-and-so a neutral placeholder name, for example, If an idea came not from you but from a previous writer, when describing it you should say, "So-and-so said that ..." ; (separately) sometimes used as a euphemism for a possibly vulgar epithet, for example, "that stupid so-and-so!"
- Buddy (Newfoundland English), any male of unknown identity, often used in conjunction with "Whasisname".
- Joe Bloggs (British male, referring to anyone of unknown identity)
- Fred Bloggs (British male, referring to a subsequent unknown person)
- Bob Soap (alternative of Joe Bloggs)
- Charlie Farnsbarns (similar to Joe Bloggs)
- Fred Nerks or Fred Nerk or just Fred (as in "Fred, you can't turn right here" (Australian equivalent of Joe Bloggs))
- John Q. Public (American English for the public-at-large)
- John Q. Law or Johnny Law (American English for any law enforcement officer)[4]
- Joe Public (British English): an average person in the street
- Grandpa/Grandma Walter any senior of unknown identity
- N.N. or A. N. Other (usually British English): unspecified person on a list, often abbreviated to ANO
- Joe Blow (North America): average male person
- Joe Sixpack (North America): average cheap-beer-drinking worker, slightly derogatory
- Joe Bunda (similar to Joe Sixpack but specific to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; also in Pittsburgh: Joe Matahratz and Joe Bagadonutz. Joe Bagadonutz is a particular favorite of Chicago Tribunecolumnist John Kass. Joe Bunda is also used at the United States Naval Academy.)[5]
- Joe Shmoe (Regional America, especially northeast, southern Florida, southern California): average male person
- John (British English, colloquial term for male of unknown identity, also North American term for client of prostitute).
- John Doe/Jane Doe, originally a term in law, has expanded in North America to be used colloquially for any person or for a hypothetical average person. It is also used in police work to refer to an unidentified corpse.
- The Joneses (used as a placeholder for the typical average family, often one perceived to have higher social status or aspirations: Keeping up with the Joneses)
- Mrs Kafoops (Australian, slightly derogatory)
- Dat fella (Malaysian/Singaporean for "that fellow")
- Old mate (Australian; man, stranger or person)
- Yer man (Irish male)
- Yer wan (Irish female. Unlike the male form, sometimes used to connote contempt)
- Joe Soap (Irish English, refers to any typical person)
- Himself/Herself (Irish male/female)
- Lord/Lady Muck (Male/Female who is acting as if others are their servants)
- Frick and Frack (Indistinguishable Male pair)
- Tweedledum and Tweedledee (Indistinguishable Male pair, slightly derogatory)
- Grandma/Grandpa (a usually older adult lacking technical knowledge)
- PVT Snuffy, AMN Snuffy, Joe Snuffy (US military, referring to any general soldier or low-ranking individual)
- PVT, PFC or LCpl Schmuckatelli (Marine Corps, referring to any general low-ranking enlisted Marine)
- Joe Gish (U.S. Naval Academy for any Midshipman; his roommate is W.T. Door)[6][7]
- Kadoogan (One example of 'kadigan' being used as a placeholder is in the Ren and Stimpy Show where Stimpy's last name is given as Kadoogan, a reference to the term kadigan.)[original research?]
- "Wendy Wellesley" is used as "Jane Doe" at Wellesley College
- Emmet and Grockle are mildly abusive yet affectionate West Country terms for tourists.[8] "Emmet" is a dialect word for "ant".[9]
- Matey is a West Country term for a person with whom one has an anticipated, temporary or intermittent personalised interaction restricted to specific requirements or actions, e.g. "We'd got as far as theOkehampton Bypass when we stopped to give Matey there a jump-start".
- Unsub (USA police usage): unnamed person, an unknown subject of an investigation
- Vic (USA police usage): unnamed person who is a crime victim
- Perp (USA police usage): unnamed person who committed a crime (the perpetrator).
- Fnu Lnu is used by authorities to identify unknown suspects, the name being an acronym for First Name Unknown, Last Name Unknown. If a person's first name is known but not the last, they may be called "John Lnu" or "Fnu Doe", and an unidentified person may be "Fnu Lnu". For example, a former interpreter for the United States military was charged as "FNU LNU",[10] and a mute man whose identity could not be determined was arrested and charged with burglary in Harris County, Texas, under the name "FNU-LNU" (charges were later dropped because authorities could not communicate with the man).[11] Fnu-Lnu conjunctions may also be used if the person has only a single name, as in Indonesian names. The name has been considered a source of humor when "Fnu Lnu" has been mistaken for the actual name of a person.[12]
- PC/DC 0000 Robert Peel is a placename that is used for giving mock information about a police officer. Robert Peel is chosen because of origins of the British policing, and 0000 (or AA 0000 for the Met) is used, as no collar number can be four zeros. The Avengers character "Mrs. Peel" was named as the wife of such an "average" policeman.
- David Cohen used in Victorian times to refer to a Jewish immigrant who either could not be positively identified or whose name was too difficult for police to spell, in the same fashion that John Doe is used in the United States today.
- Mary is a term used in the Hawaiian Creole English speaking LGBTQ community to refer to a person (usually female, name known or unknown) when they've done something deemed bad, unacceptable, or ridiculous.
- Mister X
Certain fixed expressions are used as placeholder names in a number of specialized contexts. People sometimes speak of Old So-and-so or What's-'is-name or What's-'is-face (cruder) or Miss Thing (popular in the southern US states, where it refers to a female who thinks herself better than other people, and often pronounced Miss Thang). Tommy Atkins is a mythical Briton who filled out all his forms correctly and as such lent his name to British soldiers generally; his Canadian counterpart is "Corporal (or some other rank) Bloggins". John Smith, often from "Anytown, U.S.A.", and John Q. Public are also used as placeholder names for unnamed citizens, and similarly in Britain one might refer to Joe Bloggs. "Joe Random" and "Joe Average" are also referred to, sometimes more specifically as "Joe Average Voter" or "Joe Random Customer". In Australia, the name John Citizen is used in a similar capacity on samples of forms or cards. In America, Joe or Jane Sixpack refers to the perceived average middle or working class person. In theatre, television, and motion pictures, the great actors Walter Plinge, David Agnew, and George Spelvin are pseudonyms used for cast members who prefer to go unnamed. The name Alan Smithee is similarly used by film directors who wish to remain pseudonymous (often because their film did not turn out well). Conversely, placeholders can be used to conceal identity, as seen in the above Gilbert and Sullivan lyrics. The Newfoundland entertainer "Buddy Whasisname" derives his stage name from a common local usage (combining two terms) denoting an unknown male.
Movies and theatre also give rise to another specific type of placeholder, the MacGuffin. This is any object or person used to drive a plot or as the goal of a quest, but which otherwise has no relevance to the action, and thus could be replaced in the script with another similar item with no loss of sense. A foozle is a generic enemy or group of enemies that must be defeated for the plot to move on in a game. Scriptwriters for science fiction productions such as 'Star Trek' often use the word "TECH" as a placeholder which the show's technical adviser can later replace with some plausible-sounding detail (e.g., a type of radiation or particles).
Cryptographers conventionally use a fixed cast of characters when describing their systems in general terms. For example, the quintessential cryptographic system has Alice wanting to send a message toBob without Eve being able to eavesdrop on them. These names are even used in formal, peer-reviewed papers in the field, see Alice and Bob.

Bucherer Automatic Chronograph Lemania LWO 283 (ETA 2892 plus DD module), late 1980s
If you look closely or
Then you see that the crown is located lower then the pushers. This is in almost every case a clear indicator, that a modular chronograph is at work. Another indicator is the date that is often shown with an internal loupe. Because the chronograph parts are mounted on top of the automatic movement, the date ring lays quite low and an outer loupe would reveal that.
What is the difference between a modular
and a "real" chronograph?
Watch collectors often insist to buy real chronographs. A movement that was designed with the chronograph feature in mind. Modular chronographs are also nicknamed "piggy back" chronographs because of their design.
While purists prefer the real chronographs (the most affordable Swiss version is the ETA 7750), the modular design often allows for lower priced models. This Daniel JeanRichard sold for ca. USD 500 only with the 2894 modular chronograph movement from ETA. And the Bucherer chronograph in the picture was about the same (historic USD CHF exchange rates considered)

Of late the term Iberian Studies has been gaining academic currency, but its semantic scope still fluctuates. For some it is a convenient way of combining the official cultures of two states, Portugal and Spain; yet for others the term opens up disciplinary space, altering established routines. Shattering the state's epistemological frame complexifies the field through the emergence of lines of inquiry and bodies of knowledge hitherto written off as irrelevant. This more complex understanding of the term has been gaining ground despite disciplinary inertia, as always happens with new epistemic paradigms according to Thomas Kuhn.
This conference brings together scholars whose work shows awareness of the cultural and linguistic complexity of the field to discuss the institutional challenges to the practice of Iberian Studies and to share work conceived from that relational point of view.

Recently, the CMO Council published a report that suggested that events were failing in terms of measurability and insight into return on investment (ROI).
Here is how Vahe Habeshian puts it in his MarketingProfs article:
Even as events remain a vital part of the marketing mix, and a key channel for direct one-to-one customer engagement, marketing executiveslacking visibility into the conversion pipelinedon't have sufficiently effective methods for measuring the impact of events and tradeshows on sales and revenue (and therefore can't prove ROI), a new study has found."
That report shouldnt have surprised anyone that is paying attention. Of course, events are falling behind. Weve seen that coming for years.
Even as the rest of our marketing tools become more and more data-driven, events remain lazily mired in 1995. As well see, theyre only just now evolving to meet the modern age. Paper business cards and hardware scanners still rule the day, while other marketing channels surge forward with more and more visibility into data.
A Look at Some Examples
First, consider content marketing. Using Marketo or a variety of other marketing automation tools, I can slap a white paper up on my website behind a web form. Once a potential customer fills out the form, I can track and score every single web and email touch with that lead until Im comfortable they are ready for a sales call.
Its total and complete visibility from first touch-point to Sales Qualified Lead (SQL).
And what about Pay-Per Click (PPC)? Software like Kenshoo will not only tell me which PPC campaigns are resulting in SQL conversions but will even help me give proper credit to the PPC campaign even if the user comes back three weeks after clicking on the ad.
Again, its total and complete visibility as leads flow through the top of the funnel.
And Then There's Event Marketing
Lets contrast this with what we have in event marketing. In a conference or tradeshow environment, the two lead states are unknown and scanned. Thats it.
Not only are leads being left on the table (how many budget-wielding execs are walking around an expo floor to get scanned?), but there is zero visibility into the development of a lead.
And its not like that lead progression is absent from an event setting. Attendees are meeting your salespeople on the show floor, listening to your executives keynotes, exploring your companys profile, and reading your paper collateral---but we just dont know about it.
Its as if we have a website with no tracking turned on.
Segmentation is also lacking among leads that we are actually able to scan. At the booth itself, we cant tell the difference between the senior manager looking to spend $3M before fiscal year-end and the senior manager just wanting the free T-shirt for her kid.
Again, we are running almost entirely blind.
Events Still Remain Valuable (Somehow)
Amazingly, despite all of these shortcomings, events are so valuable, so big in terms of lead potential, and so irreplaceable by other channels, that even in their current, data-challenged format, we know that there is value there.
Its just a matter of turning on the tracking.
The good news is that the world has changed. Now, virtually everyone on the show floor is walking around with a powerful, sensor-laden computer, capable of signaling various levels of interest in content, exhibitors, speakers, and every other element of an event. Were talking, of course, about smartphones and tablets.
These signals should be a game-changer for event marketing, with an impact as large as what web analytics did for SEM.
In fact, the web analytics analogy holds at a number of levels. All those same signals that we rely on in digital marketing to qualify a lead--- taps, forms, collateral downloads, video views, and engagement are now available in a live event setting via custom-made mobile event applications.
When combined with other data sources like social media profiles, event registration data, and historical data, event marketers can begin to get the whole picture and properly estimate ROI.
With a complete view of the data, perceived ROI will undoubtedly rise dramatically, increasing the size of the pie of the overall live event space.
To put it bluntly, event marketers have no excuse to run blind for one more day. The devices are in place, the content sits safely in the cloud, and the mighty consumer social networks have trained our attendees in how to interact with their smartphones.
Its time to bring event marketing out of the data dark ages.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
The list of building code violations at Arbor Village Apartments is mounting, Anderson city officials said Thursday, and it may be weeks before the 96-unit complex is habitable again.
That was the preliminary estimate from a licensed plumber who assessed the work that will be required to bring gas lines at the complex up to code, said Building Commissioner Frank Owens.
Other problems have surfaced with the electrical wiring in some of the buildings as well, which may add to the time it will take to make repairs.
Displaced tenants, meanwhile, will likely be able to recover damages from the apartment owners for the inconvenience of being turned out of their homes and forced to find other housing because he failed to adequately, an expert on Indiana Landlord Tenant law said.
So far, city inspectors have identified electrical work that was performed in five occupied and eight unoccupied units where no plans, specifications, or permits were reviewed or issued by the city as required, Owens said.
The city's electrical inspector will continue looking at units today.
City officials condemned the complex and issued a mandatory evacuation order on Wednesday after gas leaks were found in the basements of all five building units.
That decision came after a brief evacuation Tuesday night when Vectren Energy, which provides gas service here, found leaks in three buildings and cut the gas to those units.
"These were not major leaks," said Vectren spokeswoman Chase Kelley, but they could have led to more serious problems if not properly addressed, which is why the utility shutoff the gas.
"I just think it's been a slow reaction to an issue that been going," said Owens, noting that problems first surfaced about three weeks ago.
As issues with providing adequate heat during that time increased because of problems with the gas service, so did the number of space heaters in use. Tuesday night, he was told the complex had issued 45 space heaters to residents, and an unknown number had obtained their own, raising concerns that an overloaded electric system could cause a fire.
Arbor Village residents continued to find housing alternatives Thursday.
Some residents found shelter with friends and relatives; others searched for new apartments at other area complexes.
About 12 families receiving Department of Housing and Urban Development assistance through the Housing Assistance Payment, or HAP program, contacted the Anderson Housing Authority for help, said Charles Weatherly, deputy director.
"We will do everything we can to make sure this is a smooth transition," he said. The agency has already contacted managers of other complexes that handle the federal voucher program. Other apartment property managers have also reached out to Arbor Village residents.
Danielle Layne, assistant property manager at The Giant Oaks and Cross Lakes apartment complexes, said they are prepared to offer one month of free rent and waive application fees to Arbor Village residents.
Complex owner Tom Stanley told The Herald Bulletin on Wednesday that the city was overreacting to the gas leak problems and "paranoid" because of the recent explosion on the south side of Indianapolis, and was not giving him enough time to fix the problems.
Stanley, who bought the apartments about three years ago and invested nearly $1 million to rehabilitate them, said the gas pipe issue is the only problem that remains. He added that he wants his tenants properly cared for.
Regardless of how Anderson city officials chose to handle the situation, under Indiana Landlord Tenant Law, the responsibility for maintaining the habitability of the property is Stanley's, said Stephen Byers, managing attorney for Indiana Legal Services in Indianapolis, which covers Madison County.
Because Stanley has apparently failed to maintain the habitability of the property, all of the tenant leases are considered broken because residents have lost the use of their property through no fault of their own, Byers said.
In addition, the landlord is required to find alternative housing for his tenants and compensate them for their costs, Byers added.
"He can't hold them liable for rent and he can't hold them liable for their lease," Byers said, adding that they "have a right to recover damages."
Stanley could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Sorry, I didn't know where to post this, but will get it deleted when I get the answer.
I have 2 ps3's, and my brother is coming over for a week tomorrow. If I download Ghosts on both my ps3's can he sign in as himself on my ps3 and play it? Can we both play at the same time? He thinks we can, but I've never tested it before. Is it not the person who bought the game has to be signed in?

Both PS3s just need your login details in, you can be on your account on one and his account on another. Now, I'm not sure if this works on ALL games, but it should work.
(I know this cause my friend yoinked my Diablo 3 without me knowing, and we were co-oping it a bit. Had to laugh when I found out it was 'my' digital copy he had.. lol)

Josue Salinas, a deaf child in Honduras, could never hear his mother say "I love you" as she picked him up in her arms. All he could see was the love shining in her eyes.
Mariana, a Honduran mother, knew her son could not hear her as she held him tight and hugged his little body close to hers whispering "I love you" while pain was tearing apart her heart.
AHMEN, Alabama Honduras Medical, Educational Network, is working in Plan de Flores, Honduras with monetary support for a school for deaf students. Mariana Salinas and husband, Fredrico of Plan de Flores take care of their own children with disabilities and recently took a "leap in faith" to set up the school for the deaf. Their son, Josue, the teacher for the school, is deaf and was sent at the age of 3 to the city of Tegucigalpu, the capital of Honduras, and left there to go to a deaf school to be taught sign language, as well as to learn to read and write.
"At the age of 7, my parents moved to another city and I stayed with another family," Josue said. "At first when I was very young, I suffered a lot not knowing this family very well. I thought that my parents didn't love me, but when I got older I saw the pain every time my mother came to visit and then had to leave me. That's when I realized that they just wanted me to learn the language of deaf people. Thank God the family I stayed with were good to me. They sent me to school and paid for my expenses and meals."
Mariana was just as upset as her son. She was aware that he did not understand what she was doing was best for him.
"I wanted him to get an education so that he could come back and help our village. I knew he could not do that with us," she said. "There are so many children like him and there is no one to help them. But I think that now, he understands what I have tried to do."
About three years ago, Josue moved to Plan de Flores to live with his parents and became the teacher of the school for the deaf. In 2010 the school had 12 children and youth. Eight boys and five girls were enrolled in last year's classes. Only four of them had a sponsor to help pay for their living expense. School began this year on Feb. 15 and there are 17 students enrolled. Each student attends the school for the deaf and regular school, and some of the boys go to the woodworking school. Regular school in Plan de Flores goes to the sixth grade and students in grades seven and higher take a bus to another village but have to pay for that schooling. Usually only the boys in a family are allowed to get a higher education. Until now deaf children did not get to go to school at all. To go to school they need a sponsor.
Some of the deaf boys are attending the woodworking school and want to learn that trade. Not many jobs are available in the small villages of Honduras and most of the boys trained in woodworking go to the larger towns to work. The woodworking school is in the process of marketing and selling the products the boys make to other villages and towns. However, marketing skills are also limited in Honduras. Plan de Flores' school for the deaf and the woodworking school is just a starting point and there are problems with housing students.
There is not a dormitory in Plan de Flores and space is limited in the room that was made available to students last year. All eight boys shared a room and all five of the girls shared a room in a small building attached to Mariana's house. There is not enough space to house more students. There is not enough school supplies for more students. Last year a grant from the North Alabama Conference of United Methodist Churches was awarded to the school for supplies. However, the students had no desks and chairs in which to put their supplies. They kept them in the small rooms they shared and during school, they simply used what they had which was most likely a spot on the ground with the supplies held in their lap. They wanted to go to school and learn how to speak in sign language. They want to be as normal as possible.
A plea went out from Mariana to AHMEN for desks and chairs for the deaf students. Dr. Tom Camp, president of AHMEN, sent the plea out to all of the organization's volunteers and team leaders for help in purchasing the items needed for the deaf students. Lamon Chapel United Methodist Women in the Thach community of Walker County received the email and decided to help the students. Lela Aaron-Vicente, a volunteer and advocate of AHMEN, spear-headed the campaign.
"I asked our United Methodist Women if there was any way we could purchase the supplies for the woodworking school and hire the students there to make the furniture the school needed," she said. "I contacted Dr. Camp about the cost and he sent us an estimate. We had yard sales to make up the money for the furniture and to sponsor a deaf student."
Aaron-Vicente said the church as a whole and individual members helped make the purchase of the supplies possible.
"We also asked the church to give half of the cost and let us pay the other half," she said. "God is so good to us, the church agreed to pay half the cost. At our annual bazaar in November, one of our ladies was talking to some people about our project and a couple came forth and gave us $200 toward our cost. By the end of November, 2010, we sent the required estimate to AHMEN for the school desks and chairs. We can only thank God for making this possible because our United Methodist Women have only five or six active members. But thank God, again, we have a loving and giving congregation that comes to our aid in whatever project we undertake."
According to Camp, a dormitory is needed now. There have been up to 24 request from the surrounding villages who want to send their children to Plan de Flores to go to school. Camp discussed the situation with AHMEN team leaders at a recent meeting and the Rev. Ray Crump decided to help.
"Plans are in the works for a building we can use as a dormitory for the deaf school students," said Crump, a retired United Methodist minister. "We have contacted several Honduran people by email to get specifics for a new building using materials from Honduras as well as construction workers. It usually takes time to get this all put together and right now we need sponsors to help fund the building as well as the students."
Crump has also contacted several volunteers with AHMEN to see about supplies to send to Honduras on the spring shipping container.
"I don't know how Mariana keeps going. She is basically taking care of all the students as well as housing them. She has a couple of ladies that come to help with the cooking and feeding the students, but is limited due to lack of funding," Crump said. "She has a great faith that we need here in the good ol' USA. We just have everything available that we need, and we just don't realize how much God has done for us until we go to another country and see the needs of the people there."

Williams waiting for a chance to roar
Glad Williams is putting in extra work. Would be more encouraged if he wasn't talking mostly about offense, offensive opportunities, shots. I wonder if DWill realizes what is keeping him off the floor is likely his defense. If he could prove to Adelman that he can defend the 4 and 3 adequately, he would be getting more minutes over Beasley & Wes.

CIS Research
One of the hallmarks of a great university is excellence in research. In 1965, when Cornell established one of the first computer science programs in the nation, it began developing world-class research programs in areas such as algorithms, complexity theory, distributed systems, languages, and numerical analysis.
These areas are still flourishing today at Cornell, and this early lead resulted in the creation of Computing and Information Science (CIS), a college-level unit that brings together experts in computing with researchers and scholars in a variety of disciplines. This focus has fostered a university-wide explosion in interdisciplinary research and is poised to revolutionize all academic fields in the 21st century.
Research in Computer Science today has expanded to include such interdisciplinary areas as robotics, security and computational sustainability. Information Science draws from computer science, operations research, human computer interaction and the social sciences of computing, which facilitates research in such areas as computer mediated communications and social networks. Research conducted in Statistical Science impacts areas across campus, including genomics and computational biology, empirical legal questions, and computational finance.
Beyond the academic units, CIS houses several institutes and initiatives that lead research and development in their respective areas:
Center for the Interface of Networks, Computation and Economics (CINCE) facilitates collaboration on research involving social and economic aspects of complex interconnected systems.
Cloud Computing at Cornell is a hub to connect faculty and students working in the multi-disciplinary field of cloud computing.
Institute for Computational Sustainability (ICS) focuses on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the way natural resources are managed and allocated by injecting computational thinking and methods into sustainability questions.
Program of Computer Graphics conducts research in realistic materials; scalable high-quality rendering; animation; physical simulation for graphics and sound rendering; and vision and perception.
CIS Research Areas Include:
Robotics at Cornell spans various subareas, including perception, control, learning, planning and human-robot interaction.
Systems and Networking examines the design and implementation of the fundamental software systems that form our computing infrastructure.
Theory of Computing is the study of efficient computation, models of computational processes, and their limits.

Sex and Drugs and College: Top Literary Novels That Combine All Three
Watching NYU and Columbia, among others, fill up with students in New York City in the fall, it's hard not to think of the psychosexual mayhem soon to come, and the literary novels it may produce.
All those overachieving, overindulged gorgeous youngsters, living together under pressure … what else would one expect?
Which got me thinking: Every decade seems to have its signature sex-and-drugs-and-college literary novel, a great big juicy combo of the zeitgeist, pharmaceutical du jour, and angst- or anomie-ridden bright young things. I have my favorites; what are yours?
The 1980s brought Bret Easton Ellis's Less Than Zero, which featured one never-to-be-forgotten
scene of a young woman applying mascara in a college dorm room, separating her eyelashes one by one with a needle. The novel's protagonist quickly takes off from his thinly disguised elite Eastern college (the author's own alma mater, Bennington) for his hometown, L.A., on holiday break, but the book is indelibly associated with Bennington, where Ellis wrote it as an undergrad. Drug du jour: cocaine.
Donna Tartt's 1992 bestseller The Secret History gathered the darkness of a bunch of super-clever classics majors at a thinly disguised Eastern college (Bennington again!) who fall under the spell of a magnetic professor and wind up performing Bacchic rituals. And we all know where those lead. If we don't, Tartt does, and she excellently evokes the creepy, over-intellectualized sexiness and evil of the whole enterprise. Bacchic = wine. Lotsa liquor.
The 2010s, in their short life, have produced not one but two books in this little genre: Jeffrey Eugenides' The Marriage Plot, set at Brown University and just after, and Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding, set in the Midwest (for once!) at an elite liberal arts school. Eugenides includes lots of literary theory: 1980s French theory (loads of Barthes!) and feminist, in particular, while Harbach gifts his characters with extensive Moby-Dick studies, going further with the elbow-in-the-side snicker potential of "Hey, it's got DICK in the title" than I would have thought possible, somehow producing a tender, insightful, and unforgettable look at homosexuality, male bonding, and nonhomosexual male sports bonding. Drugs: pot (and lots of it) and prescription painkillers. Also baseball.
But what about the 2000s? Try as I might, I came up with only Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, which has a whole other flavor and isn't even set in a college—Hailsham is a boarding school. (And boarding-school-set novels deserve a whole other post!)
What are your picks for the best sex-drugs-college literary novels of the past four decades? Can you think of one from the 2000-09 era? Let me know!

Arkansas uses Lex Loci Contractus for UM Choice of Law
In Hoosier v. Interinsurance Exchange, the insureds moved from California to Texas, and had a car accident in Arkansas that wasn't their fault. The insureds damages exceeded the $50,000 limits of the other driver's insurance. The insureds' policy was issued in California. Under California law, there is no right to UM unless the amount recovered from the at fault party is less than the UM limits. But the insureds claimed when they moved to Texas, they were told the policy was converted to a Texas policy, which would have paid the insureds the UM limits.
It was a question of law as to whether the move changed the policy from a California policy to a Texas policy. In the absence of any material change to the policy provisions upon [the insureds'] change of residence, the only remaining question is whether the change of residence from California to Texas had the legal effect of changing the state in which the insurance policy was issued. Under Arkansas law, it did not. The law of the place where the contract was made prevails. Lincoln National Life Insurance Co. v. Reed, 234 Ark. 640, 353 S.W.2d 521 (1962).
The validity, interpretation and obligation under a policy applied for, executed and delivered to the insured in one state has been held governed by the law of that state, though the insured subsequently moved elsewhere. The laws of the latter place apply only to remedy and procedure.
The dissent claims that the most significant relationship test should be used, but even under the lex loci contractus rule (place of making the contract controls) Texas law should be applied.

The head of the Transportation Security Administration says the agency will allow passengers to carry small knives onto planes despite a backlash against the proposal.
TSA Administrator John Pistole told the a House committee on Thursday that he doesn't believe small folding knives would enable a terrorist to take over a plane and that finding and eliminating them is time-consuming.
Pistole says that screeners find 2,000 small knives a day on passengers or in their carry-on bags, with each incident requiring two to three minutes to deal with.
Several lawmakers at the hearing say they don't see much difference between the knives and the box cutters used by 9/11 terrorists.

Stevie Brown Released...Again
According to the Raiders transaction page, safety Stevie Brown was waived again yesterday. No word yet on what the corresponding roster move will be. Apparently, Erik Pears locker is still in tact after their exchange for each other the previous day. Stevie Brown probably goes back to the practice squad.
