There are a few basic guidelines which you should always keep in mind when it comes to eMarketing and your approach to online interactions. These are Authenticity, Transparency and Real-Time Response.
Today's customers and visitors are smarter than ever before and are looking for authentic, value-adding content and communications. As a company you need to keep this in mind at all times. Having no content at all is better than content with no or very limited value. The same is true for communications; an apologetic reply to a dissatisfied customer needs to be sincere and lead to real action to have a positive influence on the customer satisfaction.
Bring all discussions related to your company's products and services out in daylight and accept that not all comments will be positive. Whenever negative feedback is received you should take the chance to create a robust and public company-customer dialogue. Criticism that is handled properly makes a much better impression than a one-sided conversation or no conversation at all.
Real-Time Response
We live in the age of iPhones and 24-hour connectivity and customers expect immediate response from most companies. If you are in a B2B relationship this can also have a direct impact on your customer's own business. Accept that office hours are not respected the way they used to be and take on the response-time challenge to stay competitive.
This article is based on resources and guidelines from quirk.biz, however interpreted by myself.
The development of an eMarketing campaign is a process consisting of 3 main parts: Think, Create and Engage. Each part should then be improved in a continuous process in the 4th step: Optimize.
Perform the necessary market research and make sure to understand what your potential customers need, what the competition is like and in what direction the market is trending. Also write down a strategy clarifying your objectives, how you will provide value to your customers, and how to approach the marketplace.
Now it's time to start executing: Hire photographers and video makers. Design and publish websites and Facebook pages. Produce content for blogs and Twitter. The key in this part is to know and understand your audience, so that you can optimize your design and content for your customers.
So you have a website, a Facebook page, and a blog with great content? For these to do any good you need to build and engage an audience. This means Google Ads, Search Engine Optimization and many other things. The key in this part is Value: An ad can draw first-time visitors to your Facebook page, but to keep them and maybe get a Like as well you need to give something in return in terms of content value.
What's your numbers in terms of click-rate, bounce-rate and regular visitors? What's your conversion rate on your email campaigns? By continuously analyzing and improving your numbers you can maximize your return on investment.
Note: This article is mainly to provide a "thinking framework" for anyone looking to get into eMarketing. However, any comments regarding specific tools and methods are welcome. I might use such information in future posts related to this topic.
One way to find co-founders for a start-up is by advertising on online boards and networking sites. To find out which respondents to pick for face-to-face meetings some of the standard recruitment questions will be very useful. First have a quick look at the candidate's CV and make sure his or her skills are relevant to your business, then pick the phone up and find out about the candidate's availability, location and track-record.
Are you currently working or unemployed? Are you involved in other start-up projects as well?
You need to find somebody willing to invest full-time in your start-up, which probably means 8-12 hours a day. In relations to availability you might want to ask about personal commitments as well, such as children or other dependents. I would however recommend asking more personal questions at the face-to-face meeting.
Where are you currently located?
Working next to each other in an office gives a great boost to productivity and morale. Some distance start-ups have been very successful, they are however exceptions. If you are living in the same city you should consider renting office space as soon as you have decided to work together.
Do you have a portfolio showing previous work?
You don't want to spend time and effort on meeting up face-to-face and then realize that the candidate's previous performance isn't living up to your basic standards. Even students with no work experience should have personal portfolios proving their skills.
Make sure to ask the above questions, spend less time on time-wasters, and spend more time on getting the best co-founders aboard.

"Puerto Rican Obituary" was first read in 1969 at a rally in support of the Young Lords Party, an anti-imperialist Latino youth group in New York. Like the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords were community activists, supporting demands for fair and affordable housing and decent health care, and they ran free breakfast programs for children. They linked their neighborhood militancy to a program that called for the end of U.S. imperial adventurism in Vietnam and elsewhere, third world liberation, and end to the oppression of the poor and people of color, and the building of the socialist society. The Young Lords were destroyed by U.S. government provocations in the mid 1970s, but Pedro Pietri continued on as a radical activist and poet-he saw no distinction between these roles. Most notably he helped to found and sustain the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, an acclaimed center for oppositional arts and literature.
Pietri's family moved to New York City in 1947, when he was only three years old. They settled down in the Spanish Harlem section of Manhattan where he and his siblings received their primary and secondary education. Pietri started writing poems as a student at Haven High School. After graduating from high school, Pietri worked a variety of jobs until he was drafted. The experiences which he faced in the Army, in Vietnam, and the discrimination that he witnessed while growing up in New York, were all major factors that would forge his personality and style of poetry.
On March 3, 2004, Pedro Pietri died of cancer at the age of 59.
The power, insight, and message of "Puerto Rican Obituary" continues to resonate among activist and dreamers all over the world. As the New York Times put it recently: "three decades ago, a poem ignited a movement." —Eds.

Staying Golden
SUSAN ELOISE HINTON speaks softly, with an accent that betrays
her Midwestern birth. She has been married to the same man for more than three decades. They have
a 20-year-old son. Little about the life of the middle-aged Oklahoma resident hints at the person
who, almost 40 years ago, at the tender age of 15, penned one of the all-time classic tales of teen
It was with that book, her first, that Hinton made her name, both figuratively
and literally. Upon the release of 1967's The Outsiders, at the recommendation of her publisher,
Viking Press, Susan Eloise became "S.E."
"With the subject matter of The Outsiders," Hinton explains
from her Tulsa home, "the publishers thought that the first reviewers would see [my name] and say,
'Well, a girl wouldn't know anything about this,' and would read it with that kind of bias, so they're
the ones that suggested using my initials."
When the book made S.E. Hinton a household name, the author stuck with
the moniker. "I made the name famous. I'm not gonna lose it. Those are my real initials. That is my
real name. I like having a private name and a public name. It helps keep things straight."
The publication of Hawkes Harbor, hitting bookstores this
month, has made Hinton a public character once again.
"I'm going to be touring for two months. I haven't done that kind of tour,
ever. I sure picked a fine time in my life to start it, but I think I'll get through it." The novel is
Hinton's first in 15 years, though she insists that she's kept busy over the last decade and a half.
"After I wrote Taming the Star Runner, I wrote two children's books [Big David, Little
David and The Puppy Sister], and I began Hawkes Harbor about five years ago.
So it wasn't that long of a gap between writing, but I was involved with raising my son, basically.
For my writing to be any good, I really have to be emotionally involved in it, and my child was taking
up all of my emotions."
Her children's books, Hinton's first forays into the genre, were both
released in 1995, 10 years after the publication of Taming, which, like all of her previous
books, was written with young adults in mind. With Big David, Little David and The Puppy
Sister, Hinton claims that she got all of the whimsy out of her system, allowing her to begin
work on her first book targeting grownups, even if her inspiration didn't come from the most grownup
of places.
"I wanted to write again, and I just thought I'd write something for fun…
I wanted to write an adventure story, because I'd recently reread Treasure Island, and
I thought, 'Well this was fun.' When I read Robert Louis Stevenson's remark that he wrote it because
he wanted to read it, basically I thought, I'll just do something different."
The main thing that separates her new novel from the junior high school
cannon fodder of her early works, aside from a few scattered curse words, is the inclusion of multiple
sex scenes involving Hawkes Harbor's protagonist, Jamie Sommers. "With the adult one,
I felt really free. I always wanted to see if I could write a racy scene, so I did one, and thought, 'Hey,
not bad,' so I did a couple more."
The scenes, two of which involve a threesome, though not particularly
graphic in nature, are not likely to gain the same PTA support that has been awarded to The Outsiders,
which has become second only to Charlotte's Web in Publishers Weekly's "All-Time Bestselling
Children's Books." In fact, her first five novels were all named by the American Library Association
as Best Books for Young Adults between 1967 and 1979.
No one can accuse Hinton of pandering. She didn't write the book to regain
commercial success. She knows what people want, even if she's not ready to give it to them, now or
"What fans always ask me for is a sequel to The Outsiders. I get
that constantly. I'm not in that time of my life. Even at the time I wrote The Outsiders, I
thought that was the end. I couldn't have written a sequel to The Outsiders. I'm just not
there anymore, and I don't intend to [be]." Hinton is happy where she left the greasers of her first
novel, though she hasn't given up on the genre that made her famous. "I'm not ruling out young adult
books. It's not preventing me from doing young adult books. It's preventing me from doing that book, because for me the story ends where it should. It's right the way it is, and I'm not going to mess
with it."
Fans of Hinton's early work should no doubt find something familiar
in Hawkes Harbor's protagonist, Jamie Sommers, a street- tough orphan who, Hinton concedes,
does bear some resemblance to past characters. "He is somewhat similar. I'd like to think that all
of my narrators are different. He's not intelligent or observant like [The Outsiders']
Pony Boy, and not really dumb like [Rumble Fish's] Rusty James. He's just aimless, basically."
Sommers' adventures however, mark the author's first voyage into the
fantastic, featuring pirates, jewel smugglers and one extended encounter with a vampire, though
Hinton suggests that the bloodsucker's presence can be chalked up to symbolism. "I don't think
it's exactly a horror genre. I'm real interested in the paranormal, but not vampires. I don't believe
in vampires, but it was a good metaphor for the kind of character I wanted. To me it's not a paranormal
novel; I really would like to write one someday. It's really more about a search for redemption."
Though she has hope for Hawkes Harbor, Hinton harbors no illusions
about how the book will fare in relation to her first novel, which has sold more than 10 million copies
to date, inspired a Francis Ford Coppola movie, a Fox television pilot and of course is mentioned
on the cover of her latest, directly below her name. "I realize that [The Outsiders is] probably
going to be my most popular book, but that's not the worst thing that can ever happen to a writer. The
worst was right after, because I felt like people were watching me, because they were expecting
another masterpiece, but once I went ahead and did another book, I got over that."
What was it about The Outsiders that helped it sustain its popularity
after four decades?
"[Children] all feel like an outsider even in their own group, and they're
all raging against injustices. I think the emotional intensity captures them right away. I'm getting
people that are 45 years old saying that it made a huge difference in their life, and now their kids
are reading it and the kids are saying, 'My parents gave me this, it was their favorite book, and now
it's my favorite book.'"
Hinton will continue to write, even though Hawkes Harbor's
dedication ("David, one more time") seems to contain a note of finality. The author insists that
she already has more in the works, including an idea for a new novel, a collection of short stories
and a few screenplays, noting that the movie bug never really went away after co-writing the script
for The Outsiders with Coppola. Hinton doesn't expect to stop being "S.E." anytime soon.

Solar plane heads to world's largest solar plant
INNOVATIONS| June 22, 2012, 8:56 a.m.
The solar plane that made an historic intercontinental flight earlier this month has left forOuarzazate, where Morocco is building the world's largest solar-thermal plant.
After completing its historic 2,500km intercontinental flight to Morocco earlier this month, the Swiss solar-powered plane, Solar Impulse, has left Morocco's capital, Rabat, on the second attempt at its most challenging flight yet — to the Sahara desert andOuarzazate, where Moroccois building the world's largest solar-thermal plant to harness renewable power from the Sahara sun for North Africa and Europe.
The pioneering solar-powered aircraft faced difficult weather conditions that last week forced pilot Andre Borschberg to turn back.
The solar plane, powered by 12,000 solar cells, is being used to highlight renewable energy technologies, under the patronage of King Mohammed VI and at the invitation of the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy, MASEN, which oversees Morocco's solar energy plans.
The flight coincides with the construction launch of the World Bank-financed solar thermal project in Ouarzazate — the first of five sites — that will produce 2,000 megawatts of renewable energy and create many jobs in the area.

July 07--The Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. But the middle-aged organization is showing no signs of slowing down, introducing "Just Summer," its first summer concert series, to Pittsburgh's growing slate of summer classical music offerings.
"Just Summer" will feature concerts this month by the Harlem Quartet, Brooklyn Rider and bandoneonist Julien Labro with the Spektral Quartet. Two concerts will take place at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty and one at the Absolute Ballroom in Larimer. The series is being presented in conjunction with the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater and the African American Jazz Preservation Society of Pittsburgh.
"Just Summer's" variegated repertoire -- which covers everything from jazz to Romanian music to tango -- follows a global trend in chamber music performance to broaden musical offerings, according to Annie Mollova, executive director of PCMS.
"It blurs the traditional boundary lines between genres of classical music," she said.
In adding a summer schedule and presenting performances in locations beyond its usual home at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland, PCMS hopes to create a more casual concert environment. Tickets to every performance also include a pre-concert mixer, featuring food and drink catered by the Strip District's Bar Marco.
"We wanted to create a series that felt less formal, and that was out of the traditional concert hall setting," she said.
The low-key milieu will likely not come at the expense of quality, as the concerts will feature some of the most exciting and reputable ensembles in chamber music today.
In the first concert, "Take the 'A' Train," the Harlem Quartet will perform jazz and jazz-inspired numbers by composers such as Billy Strayhorn (who spent much of his life in Pittsburgh), Wynton Marsalis and Chick Corea. The critically acclaimed Harlem Quartet, whose mission is to further diversity in classical music, last appeared in Pittsburgh in 2009 for the opening of the August Wilson Center for African American Culture.
The second concert, "A Walking Fire -- Musical Excursions to Clejani, Budapest and Esfahan," will be the Pittsburgh debut of nationally renowned string quartet Brooklyn Rider. The concert will highlight music from Romania, Hungary and Iran, from the group's well-reviewed latest album, "A Walking Fire."
Rounding out the series is "Five for Tango," a performance by bandoneonist Mr. Labro with the Spektral Quartet, also new to Pittsburgh. The bandoneon, a wooden instrument that looks similar to an accordion, is frequently used in tango music. The concert will be followed by a tango demonstration, after which audience members will be able to try out the dance for themselves.
For an organization getting on in years, PCMS certainly isn't showing it.
Correction, July 7, 2013: Julien Labro's name was misspelled in an earlier version of this article.

We've previously spoken with Kenai City Clerk about the procedure for appointing a new council member if Mr. Molloy were elected as Mayor. She outlined other key dates for the elections…
Modigh: "The election is October 1st. Our canvas board meets on October 8th to review absentee and question ballots, and then I report the results of the election to council on October 16th. At the November 6 meeting is when new members will be seated and sworn in and we'll elect a Vice Mayor."
Modigh said there is no specific procedure for appointing new council members, but if Mr. Molloy were elected Mayor, she said it's likely his council seat would be filled in November.

Two QuestionsPosted: July 26, 2012 Filed under: Big Picture | Tags: homework 3 Comments »
I have two questions worthy enough to post next to my computer:
- "Is There Another Way?" reminds me to stay nimble. Whether I'm trying to ride a pattern on horseback in a crowded arena, or fighting to get my sleeping bag back into its stuff sack, there's always another way. Just asking the question leads to ingenuity, pattern breaking, fluidity, and progress.
- "Is this the best use of my time?" keeps me on task and off tangents. Sometimes the unexpected detour is where I need to swerve, but this question makes me pause and choose.
Homework: What's posted next to your computer?
3 Comments on "Two Questions"
Dodie — Love those questions!
My note for today (when life is too busy):
Lighten up
Leave it undone
Let others help
Next to my monitor, in NO particular order:
1) My EIN#
2) Mission, Vision, Values (created with the assistance of Dodie)
3) The word "NO!" Highly inappropriate for someone with a service business, but perfect for a business owner
4) A list of quotes/inspiration. My favorite: "It is never to late to be what you might have become" -George Elliot
[...] will then add another question to my growing list on the Post-it note by my computer: What assumptions keep me from moving [...]

This excerpt discusses the development of CMMI and the structure and variants of CMMI.
CMMI is a well-known and standardized model for assessing and improving software and systems development processes. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI was developed at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI). The current version, 1.2, was published in 2006 and is being adopted worldwide.
The book "CMMI: Improving Software and Systems Development Processes Using Capability Maturity Model Integration" provides hands-on experience and will help readers gain an understanding of CMMI. Through numerous examples, it helps the reader to get started with CMMI and to understand the interrelationship among model components (practices, goals, and process areas).
The book, authored by Dr. Ralf Kneuper, is excerpted in the accompanying zip file. The excerpt contains the entire Chapter 2 entitled "Development of CMMI," and part of Chapter 3 entitled "Structure and Variants of CMMI."
The attached Zip file includes:
Since 1984, the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has served as a federally funded research and development center. The SEI staff has advanced software engineering principles and practices and has served as a national resource in software engineering, computer security, and process improvement. The SEI works closely with defense and government organizations, industry, and academia to continually improve our software-intensive systems. The SEI's core purpose is to help organizations such as yours to improve their software engineering capabilities and to develop or acquire the right software, defect free, within budget and on time, every time.All IT Downloads from Software Engineering Institute» | Visit Software Engineering Institute »

JSONiq Queries on top of MongoDB [sponsor]
Words from this week's sponsor, 28.io:
28.io is a query platform for MongoDB built on top of the JSONiq open specification which is supported by 28msec, Oracle, EMC, and as of last week, IBM.
JSONiq is a high-level query language that enables NoSQL developers to develop productively and execute complex queries on top of their data stores of choice (e.g. MongoDB, Couchbase). Zorba, the main open source implementation of JSONiq, provides several databases drivers such as Couchbase, Oracle NoSQL, JDBC, and SQLite. It enables developers to execute the same queries across multiple datastores.
But this is not your grandma's SQL. JSONiq supports novel concepts purposely designed for unstructured, deeply nested JSON data. It allows you to execute complex queries powering features such as joins, grouping, transformation, full-text, or updates.
We produced a short screencast that showcases simple yet powerful queries written with JSONiq on top of MongoDB. We hope that you will enjoy it.
At 28.io, we are providing a deep integration between MongoDB and JSONiq. Our goal is to bring powerful query capabilities that users take for granted in the SQL space to MongoDB without giving up on scalability.

WASHINGTON, N.Y., Nov. 11 (UPI) — U.S. voters are split in support of ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as presidential candidates, Rasmussen Reports said.
If the 2016 presidential election were now, 43 percent of likely voters said they would choose Clinton, a Democrat, while 41 percent said they would opt for Chris Christie, New Jersey's Republican governor, results of the poll released Monday indicated.
Nine percent said they preferred another candidate and 8 percent said they were undecided, Rasmussen said.
Neither Clinton nor Christie, who was re-elected last week to another gubernatorial term, have indicated whether they'd seek their party's presidential nomination.
The survey's 3 percentage point margin of error put the preferences in a dead heat.
Not surprisingly, Clinton has the support of 77 percent of Democrats, while Christie had the backing of 73 percent of Republicans, results indicated. Among voters who said they weren't affiliated with either major party, Christie led Clinton, 42 percent to 33 percent.
Results are based on a nationwide survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted Thursday and Friday. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

We have no present. Our consciousness is almost completely preoccupied with memory and expectation. We do not realize that there never was, is, nor will be any other experience than present experience. We are therefore out of touch with reality.

Sweden keeps Syrian telecoms firms off EU sanctions list
All other EU states wanted to add telecoms firms to list; Swedish minister says opposition needs mobile phones too
December 3, 2011 7:31 by Reuters
Sweden blocked an effort by other EU states to add two telecoms firms in Syria with commercial links to Swedish firm Ericsson to an EU sanctions list this week, EU diplomats said.
European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Thursday agreed to add 11 Syrian firms or entities to the sanctions list as part of international efforts to end government violence against pro-democracy protests.
The 26 other EU countries had wanted to add two Syrian telecoms firms to the list, but Sweden threatened to block the entire package if they were included, the diplomats said.
"All the other member states had to compromise," one of the diplomats said. "Sweden argued that the two networks were critical to the functioning of the whole telecoms network."
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt told Reuters that telephone networks were vital for opponents of the Syrian government to communicate, and called suggestions in Swedish media that Sweden had acted to protect Ericsson's interests "ignorant".
A previous round of EU sanctions targeted Syria's main mobile phone operator, Syriatel, which was supplied by Ericsson, the world's top supplier of mobile phone network infrastructure.
Ericsson spokeswoman Helena Norrman said the South African mobile operator MTN remained a customer in Syria, as did STE, Syria's fixed network firm.
She said Syriatel had been a client until sanctions were introduced in September, at which point current contracts were halted. She said Ericsson had not signed any new orders with the two other firms this year and any deliveries had been under existing deals.
The diplomats said it was very unusual for Sweden, known as a staunch defender of human rights, to block sanctions, or for one member state to act alone to do so.
The decision to remove the two telecoms firms from the sanctions list was taken at working level before it was put to foreign ministers for formal approval, they said.
Bildt said he did not know if Sweden had vetoed any proposals, but there may have been proposals dropped because they were counter-productive.
"I don't know what the other countries want," he said. "We don't want to do anything that results in shutting down the mobile net because then we deprive the opposition one of its best weapons. I don't think any other country wants that either."
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said on Friday that more than 4,000 people have been killed during a military crackdown on street protesters that started in March, and that more than 14,000 people are believed to be in detention.
The top UN rights forum said on Friday that "gross and systematic" violations by Syrian forces may amount to crimes against humanity.

You and a Guest To The Premiere Screening Of Danny Schechter's New Investigative Film Exposing the Financial Crisis as A Crime Story
Tag Archives | Danny Schechter
As The Crisis Deepens, More Attention is Being Paid To Financial Fraud
The "F Word" (for fraud) is back in polite conversation on Wall Street. Fraud and financial crime are slowly becoming part of the debate over what must be done to restore confidence in what has so plainly been a confidence game.
Drilling for oil has knocked financial reform out of the headlines but among commentators, a concern with crime and the absence of punishment is being raised again.
First there was Robert Reich, the former Clinton Labor Secretary, a small man with a large and insistent voice. He's practically spitting because he's so pissed off with the inaction, asking where has the SEC been—not the Bush SEC which blew the Madoff probe but the Obama appointees:
"It's now clear Lehman Brothers' balance sheet was bogus before the bank collapsed in 2008, catapulting the Street and the world into the worse financial crisis since 1929. The Lehman bankruptcy examiner's recent report details what just about everyone on the Street has known since the firm imploded—that Lehman defrauded its investors.… Read the rest

Danny Schechter: As the Economy Slides, Time to Rein in the Banksters
It's a new week, a new year, and some, erroneously believe a new decade. What's not new is the stranglehold the banks have on our economy, quietly stashing billions for more bonuses, while still restricting the flow of credit. Bad loans have been supplanted by no loans. Writers on the left continue to go after one bankster — the one we love to hate: Goldman Sachs, which has become the poster child for profiteering and even serving bad coffee in their cafeterias. Most ignore the rest of the avaricious industry which is still volatile with big pockets of insolvency and dependence of government bailout funds. While the media has recently focused on the terror threat posed in Detroit, the terrifying reality in Detroit is generally ignored. The Associated Press reports...
Danny Schechter Dissects Wall Street Fraud: 'Plunder: The Crime of Our Time'
"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it, and a moral code that glorifies it."
– Political economist Frederic Bastiat, The Law (1850)
"I used to think of Wall Street as a financial center.
I now think of it as a crime scene."
– Filmmaker Danny Schechter, Plunder (2009)
I am an old-fashioned "follow-the-money" journalist. As I'm writing this, most economists have learned to downplay fear and panic and up-play the "resilience" of the market. It's a belief that all we need is confidence and then, all will be right with the world. Sadly, journalism has gone along with this charade by first denying the crisis and then avoiding investigating its architects and beneficiaries.
Three years ago, by choosing to be an "investigative" journalist, I made the film In Debt We Trust, with the idea in mind that I was examining "America before the Bubble bursts" (the subtitle of that film).… Read the rest

Start Your Engines - Viva Las Vegas
3/6/13 in NASCAR | Scott | 54622 respect
Let's get to the discussion
This past week, the Sprint Cup and Nationwide races were held in Phoenix. Sprint Cup regular Kyle Busch dominated the Nationwide field and raced away with the win. The first place finish gives Busch 106 career wins combined in all 3 of Nascar's top series (Truck, Nationwide, Sprint).
We briefly touched on this last week about Sprint Cup drivers racing in the Nationwide series and how it gives the Sprint Cup regulars a slight advantage over their competition.
Do you think that Nascar should limit the amount of races a Sprint Cup regular can drive in the Nationwide Series?
Debi - I have ALWAYS thought the lesser series should be for the drivers making their way into the major leagues. I have never been in favor of the Cup regulars participating in these races. I think NASCAR should limit the number of Cup drivers in both series to under 5. If you want to compete in Nationwide, and you are a Cup driver, you need to state that intention before the season begins, and the first five who state that intention get in, the rest are SOL.
Jen - I don't think Cup drivers should be allowed to race in Nationwide. Period. The next: Bill Elliott, Terry Labonte, Jeff Gordon might be, being overlooked. Since Nascar instituted choosing which series you were seeking a championship in, they should institute, the, "I want to drive in" and have the drivers choose which series.
Eric - I've been wondering about why Cup regulars drop down to Nationwide for years now. I assume it is to please sponsors, because I'm skeptical it's that beneficial to their Cup careers. So yeah, I'm with the rest of you. Stop letting the Cup guys drive in the lower series, save a few times a year at most.
Scott - I've never been a fan of the Sprint Cup regulars driving in the Nationwide Series and I suppose if Nascar is going to continue to allow it, they need to put a limit of 2 or 3 races for each Sprint Cup driver.
Kyle Busch has taken a lot of heat in recent years for his attitude and aggressive driver. With his 106th win, is it time for people to start giving credit where credit is due and recognize Busch as one of Nascar's best young drivers?
Debi - I already recognize his talent. I think most people do, but like his brother, it is his anger issues that are problematic
Jen - I have always thought Kyle was a better than average driver. Honestly, his attitude really doesn't bother me much either. He seems so tame, not so "rowdy" anymore. I miss that about him. Answering your question: everyone should appreciate his talent on the track whether they like him or not.
Eric - I thought people did, but are just turned off by his attitude and some of his on-track incidents. It will also help if he finally put it all together and won a championship, or at least contended for one up til the end.
Scott - I've always thought Busch has received some what of a bad rep. Sure, he's had his moments that have soured some people but the reality is, a lot of drivers do. At this point, Busch has to be one of the most dangerous drivers in the Series, capable of winning on any track at any time. He truly is one of those racers that can drive any car at any time and have success.
The other big Nationwide news occurred off the track. Jeremy Clements was suspended by Nascar for 2 races for making an "intolerable and insensitive" remark that violated Nascar's Code of Conduct. Clements has refused to disclose the exact comment but has admitted to the mistake. The comment in question wasn't recorded and the only people present were Clements, a MTV reporter and a rep for Nascar.
Is Nascar over-reacting or do they have a valid claim in suspending Clements?
Debi - It was posted today that he used the N word while walking past a motorcoach. He was apparently not speaking of anyone in particular, but I find that hard to believe. The reporter who he spoke to is the person who approached NASCAR with the news. I applaud that reporter. There is no room for that language in this sport, or any other.
Jen - Yep, I have no clue about this incident, only heard after Debi mentioned it. Was he walking and having a private conversation? Who lurks about like that anyway? I really need to know more before I can give an informed answer. I'm just speculating.
Eric - This whole situation is strange. On one hand, while we all have freedom of speech, we're not free from the consequences of said speech. On the other hand, we still don't know what Clements said or what the context was. It was probably the right call, but it's another case of a strange lack of transparency from NASCAR.
Scott - 50-Cent's comments before Daytona about there "being no blacks" at the race really shone a light on just how few minorities watch the sport. If it's true Clements used the N word, Nascar really had no choice but to make some sort of statement with this suspension.

"It's a private club, and I don't think they're really concerned about how others perceive them," he said. "Their ratings will not rise and fall based on how people view this particular topic. Their ratings will rise and fall if Tiger Woods is at the top of his game, if Tiger and Phil Mickelson andRory McIlroy or some combination of them happen to be in the mix on the final day of the tournament."
Read this article, and realize that established sexism will never go away as long as all men are complicit in its existence.
Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, and every other professional male golfer who agrees to play at Augusta is just as responsible for their sexist, bigoted policies as the club's members. So, just so you know. Until they demonstrate otherwise, we can assume that all those guys are basically sexist bigots.

Case study: Facebook promos for television content
A Storify exploring how to be successful at driving Facebook users to watch television.
A Storify exploring how to be successful at driving Facebook users to watch television.
An MOOC from the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas - registration opened today!
The five-week course Social Media for Journalists: The Basics will begin February 3 and end March 9, 2014.
Understanding social media, how it works and how it can benefit journalism has been a rarity in newsrooms around the world. This course aims to provide journalists, media practitioners and the general public with knowledge about finding and distributing news and information in social media. Students will be introduced to common platforms, techniques, and ethical considerations.
Five experts with practical experience in newsrooms in the United States will teach this course: Ryan Thornburg (University of North Carolina Chapel Hill),Craig Silverman (Poynter Institute and Spundge.com), Sharif Durhams (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), Daniel Victor (New York Times) and Amanda Zamora(ProPublica).
Still, are we using this technology correctly? Is the same tool that rendered the newspaper and the encyclopedia obsolete best used boiled down to its most basic form — context-free images that either drum up outrage or hit any other quick-trigger emotional button? Do we need large-scale Internet education? If we do, how do we reach those who are past the age of traditional, mandated schooling?
Or is this just the way it is now?"

It follows that strategically, journalists should use Twitter to consume news and get their content in front of other publishers. Do everything else on Facebook.
I'm sad to that I'm missing ONA13 in Atlanta, but at least I can follow on Twitter. Here's a wrap-up of a session on newsroom management featuring Time's Callie Scweitzer and ONA's Jim Brady. Thanks to Cory O'Donnell for putting this together.

This post describes how to perform full text search on a tumblr blog using Google Reader.
By default Tumblr search only works on tags. I write a lot of stuff on my Tumblr
blog and I want to be able to search all the content. At least at the time of
posting not all my content is indexed by Google, so searches of the form foo
inurl:jeromyanglim.tumblr.com are incomplete. Thus, I stumbled on a solution
using Google Reader.
To make searching even eaiser I incorporated a custom search into Alfred (a search tool for OSX, which described here). The same approach could be applied to a wide range of other quick search tools.
In summary, I performed a search for keywords and my blog name in Google Reader and copied the resulting URL. The keyword part was replaced with {query} as shown below:
preferences - custom searches +
Now I can activate Alfred and type notes whatever and it will search my blog on Google reader for whatever.

Blogger of the Week: Spell & the Gypsy Collective
Each week we highlight one of our favorite bookmark-worthy blogs.
Sisters Elizabeth and Isabella live a fairytale life designing for their fashion and accessories label, Spell and the Gypsy Collective. Based in Byron Bay, New South Wales, the pair grew up learning their trade from their leather craftsman father and artist mother, a tradition which led Isabella to create a label inspired by her childhood nickname. She began selling handmade jewelry at local markets, and her collection took flight months later, leading to the sisters' current offering of fashion, accessories, home goods and children's clothing often featuring feathers, leather and turquoise as well as materials such as shells and bone, crystals, silk and cotton. We caught up with Isabella to learn more about the sisters' personal style and source of inspiration:
The Girls: Elizabeth Briedis and Isabella Pennefather
The Blog: Spell and The Gypsy Collective
Hometown: Byron Bay, New South Wales
What inspires you most?
Imagery from our childhood.
Your favorite words to live by?
Our mother always said, "Follow your feelings," and our dad said, "Stay quiet in your inner." They were real children of the '60s. We've always tried to live by those.
A dream you haven't fulfilled yet (but will someday)?
Live like Robinson Crusoe on a deserted island with nothing but my partner and my son.
Jewelry piece you can't live without right now?
Our Thunderstruck Crystal chest plate— I'm addicted to vintage rocker tees at the moment and this necklace works perfectly with them!
Best item in your closet?
A neon pink zebra and floral print kimono I designed five years ago; I can throw it on over anything.
Describe the outfit you feel most confident in.
At the moment it's my One Teaspoon shorts and any one of my many oversized vintage tees with a bunch of our jewellery and a tasseled bag.
Best thing about where you live?
Where do I start? Probably living in a small community while being surrounded by so many incredibly creative souls! You can't turn around without being inspired.
Five must-have items?
A pair of One Teaspoon shorts, a tasseled handbag (vintage or new, it doesn't matter), a statement necklace to pair with a tatty tee, a battered-up pair of studded ankle boots (or a pair of Havaianas), and one of our new tasseled kimonos.
In an alternate reality, you'd be a....
Child of the '60s.
Think you have the style, smarts and surf-inspired wardrobe to be our next blogger of the week? Share a link to your blog in the comments below and we'll be in touch!
