Worship Thoughts
A Message from our Trinity Lighthouse Worship Ministry Commissioner: Randy Knox
What Does Worship Mean to You?
As a truck driver, I get to see a lot of things I might not necessarily see. This past Monday afternoon, I was driving through Wilkes Barre on the Northeast extension of the Pa. turnpike. I noticed the trees were turning the beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange that the autumn season brings.
As I gazed at their beauty, it occurred to me that God's awesome creativity was on full display. As I took it all in, I began to praise God for His mighty works. I thought that something so seemingly insignificant as the changing colors of the leaves was a small demonstration of God's love for me and for all His children.
I thought that God, in His magnificence, didn't have to make the leaves change colors. He could just as easily have left them green or turned them into dull, drab, colorless shades of gray.
But He loves us so much that He changes those leaves for our benefit, our pleasure, our joy. He didn't have to design it that way, but because He loves us, He wanted to get our attention with this small gesture. From this little offering of beauty, He shows us He really does exist. The serendipitous chance that cold, emotionless, irrational "Mother Nature" would ever have conceived of this is astronomical.
As the Scripture says, in Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."
Sometimes I think we miss some great "God sightings" because we're looking for magnificent miracles to prove His existence. But just as God speaks to us in a whisper rather than a loud shout, He shows up in small, wonderful ways. His love for us is demonstrated in such things as the cooing of a newborn, the smile of a baby, the giggles of a toddler, the tender touch of a friend, the loving look of a spouse or the quiet wisdom of the elderly.
So if you really want to see God, look for the small gifts He reveals. Not the miraculous signs the Pharisees expected; not the slap upside the head that the cynics and skeptics of today want. Just the small, almost imperceptible, loving touches that only He can provide.
Praise Him unceasingly and love Him deeply for the little things you notice in your life, rather than wait for some major miracle. Because the more often you see him in the little things, the easier it will be to love Him in any and all circumstances.
I encourage you this week, then, to open your eyes, unplug your ears and engage your minds to look for a "God sighting". They're all around you. You don't want to miss them or the blessing they will bring into your life. And then, if you feel bold enough, come next week with an example and share it with us. We'll all be blessed and encouraged that God does indeed exist and, most of all, that He does indeed love us!
What does worship mean to you?

Edward Adams
Editor and Publisher, ABA Journal
A veteran of for-profit publishing at ALM, Edward Adams joined ABA Journal in September 2006. He saw an immediate need for an updated digital strategy. ŌĆ£We were in the Stone Age,ŌĆØ says Adams. ŌĆ£At the time, we were putting up articles from the magazine on a haphazard basis. We wanted to find a niche that wasnŌĆÖt being served and we wanted to use our readers because they are as much or more experts than we are. Our focus was to aggregate content and build community.ŌĆØ
Adams started with three things: putting the full text of the magazine up the day it drops in the mail and creating an archive dating back to 2004. Second was to create an online legal newswire team. ŌĆ£The way you do that with a small staff is aggregation,ŌĆØ says Adams. ŌĆ£We have a team of two reporters who do nothing but troll the Web from five in the morning to seven at night. TheyŌĆÖre posting between 25 and 50 short stories per day.ŌĆØ
Third, ABA Journal wanted to create community. ŌĆ£Even with our staff, we cannot cover the full width and breadth of the law,ŌĆØ says Adams. ŌĆ£There are thousands of lawyers with their own blogs.ŌĆØ ABA Journal created a directory of more than 1,700 blogs categorized by dozens of subject areas, dozens of states, and authors.
Adams did this with a staff of five full-time online editors and developed the site for about $20,000. ŌĆ£You can do so many things online, you have to focus yourself on ŌĆśhereŌĆÖs what weŌĆÖre going to do, hereŌĆÖs how it fits in the marketplace,ŌĆÖŌĆØ says Adams.
Traffic is up more than 500 percent and the site is registering over 1 million page views. Revenue-wise, the site is equivalent to producing a 13th issue of the magazine, Adams says. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll probably double that this year,ŌĆØ he adds. ŌĆ£Any media organization needs a strong, credible Web site. Much of the conversation has moved online and if youŌĆÖre not online, youŌĆÖre not part of the conversation.ŌĆØ
VITAL STATS: With an investment of $20,000, ABA JournalŌĆÖs Web site has seen traffic grow 500 percent and draws more than one million page views.

Clinical Characteristics and Pathology (continued)
Children in Gambia (West Africa) who are under 5 years-old are reported as having a high rate of coincidence between levels of malaria parasites of 5,000/µl or over and abnormal chest radiographs. The explanation is undecided: Does malaria predispose to pulmonary complications, or is it the other way around?
In adults there is a spectrum of chest abnormalities, occurring in vivax as well as falciparum malaria. There is a poor correlation between the clinical illness and the extent of the radiological abnormalities or the severity of the parasitemia: pleural effusions, sometimes bilateral, septal thickening, and interstitial edema may be seen on a chest radiograph when the patient has few respiratory symptoms. There is clinical evidence that the lung lesions respond to antimalarial therapy and are usually much improved or entirely clear within 3 to 7 days. Experimental malaria in mice is known to cause pneumonia and responds to therapy in the same way.
Far more serious is the pulmonary edema which develops, usually in nonimmune adults, and which has been recognized for 70 years. It, like much else in malaria, is poorly understood. Clinically there may be dehydration and relative hypovolemia, followed by severe shock and renal failure. At the same time, the patient deteriorates and, if pulmonary edema develops, death can occur within a few hours, usually with severe cerebral dysfunction. This pulmonary edema does not respond to any type of treatment and has a greater than 50% mortality. It can develop even after the patient has been on antimalarial therapy for a few days and clinically seems to be improving: an increased respiratory rate may be the only indication that this grave complication is imminent.
Why the pulmonary edema should develop in malaria has not been explained. Cardiac decompensation has been blamed and at autopsy the heart may show epicardial and endocardial echymoses, interstitial edema, and fatty infiltration. Myocardial necrosis, however, has not been reported. Moreover, clinical evidence of cardiac decompensation is usually lacking. Although excessive administration of fluid may occur in patients who are admitted in circulatory collapse (algid malaria), or who have renal complications, this is not always the explanation. It is probable that there is damage to the microcirculation, with increased capillary permeability perhaps from adherence of parasitized red blood cells to pulmonary endothelial cells. This suggestion is confirmed by experimental malarial infections in hamsters. In addition to the partial occlusion of pulmonary veins, lymphatic vessels become thrombosed and pulmonary edema follows. Autopsy studies on children in Ghana have shown pulmonary abnormalities following death from cerebral malaria. As the authors of one publication suggest, "some caution is needed in assessing the likely significance" of many of these findings.
In malarial infections, lymph nodes throughout the body may become enlarged, congested, soft, and pigmented. During pregnancy malaria causes many problems and in some areas, e.g., Zambia, up to 75% of pregnant women have circulating malarial parasites: parasites in the placenta are a frequent cause of abortion and of maternal death following the 3rd month of pregnancy, but the parasites do not cross into the fetal circulation. Anemia is also a particular problem when there is malaria during pregnancy, and 20% of the babies born to malarial mothers will have low birth weights. Malaria may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but these are often due to the drugs used for prophylaxis.

Magic with Mayan Math
Shannon Overbay, Mary Brod
February 2007, Volume 12, Issue 6, Page 340
Four activities that use the Mayan
system of numeration in base 20. Students first learn the notation, then add,
then complete magic squares in the Mayan system. These activities provide
students an opportunity to rethink how we use place value and the importance of
zero in our number system. Activities can be used with a wide range of
abilities and age levels simultaneously since the ideas are new to most people.

The hotel was clean, well appointed, and quiet, and the rooms had lots of space. However the bed was awful. We felt like we were sleeping on hills and that we were about to roll off the terrain at any moment. This negatively affected our ability to sleep. The hotel was very convenient to the airport, and a 30-45 minute train ride to the center of Munich."
We used the hotel for 10 hours on a long layover between the US and Africa. The hotel was so convenient, the staff really helpful, and we had a wonderful and restful interlude that really made the long trip tolerable. My elderly mother was with us, and it was also great that the airport wheelchair attendants were able to bring her right to and from the hotel and then back to our connecting gate."
Very close to the Munich international airport with a convenient shuttle service, about 12 min. Not much close to the hotel, next restaurant about 700m away. Some food available at the hotel.Ideal for a stay to catch a flight."
If you are willing to pay a little extra, its worth it for the view, corner rooms are best facing the TVtower. On a budget its good too though. You have to be intimate friends however or a couple because there isn't much bathroom privacy. Staff was helpful, but its a huge hotel so sometimes the lines are really long at reception. Absolutely fantastic location, you can take the subways everywhere from here and walk to a lot of the famous and interesting Berlin spots from here."
Loved this hotel, very clean and comfortable, staff friendly and helpful"
Emerging from the station we could see the bright lights of the Steigenberger Hotel only about 100 metres away. Friendly staff greeted us as we checked in to this stylish hotel. The room was spacious and clean and we enjoyed a meal in the downstairs bar. The hop on hop off bus stopped just outside, which as tourists in a very large city was perfect! Would certainly stay here again!"
Hotel just opposite the railway station which makes it ideal for getting tube into the centre of town. While we were there it was a bit noisy outside at night. Rooms very good although slightly on the small side but very clean and well maintained. Excellent breakfast selection"
The hotel was a great location but it was very difficult to figure out how to enter the hotel with a car. Great staff, very helpful."
Ideally-located, walk to rail station and airport terminals within a covered mall. Brand-new, clean, everything works."
This was our 5th stay at The Radisson for an annual Christmas shopping trip and to see relatives once again the hotel did not disappoint. The only very small thing was that after a days shopping we welcome being able to relax in the room watching television last year we were able to watch BBC1 but this year the reception for BBC vanished at 6pm and the only English channel available was BBC world news. All the staff are friendly and are always helpful. The central location is great walking to the city takes about 10 minutes through shopping passages or about 3 minutes on the S bahn crom Dammtor to the main station and city centre. This year we purchased a travel ticket and were able to use this throughout the stay and go to towns outside the city centre. We will definitely be back next year."
All You may need in Your room is there, Internet or WI-Fi - but figure out how to connect properly otherwise transfer will be lousy, except for extra charge for breakfast - is it really so expensive value to make hotel guests feeling good? Other hotels in a same rank do offer more sophisticated breakfast and I am not a food addict, but what is most important by hotel evaluation - late check-out and breakfast.Anyway, the view was great :)"
Hotel Hafen was a great experience. The hotel staff, especially the reception were very polite and helpful. Any requests I made were actioned almost immediately."

"Having worked for a competitor's company i was skeptical about ordering but needed my business cards to arrive before an event - which Tinyprints' super rush made possible. I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful thickness and soft texture of the card stock that arrived. The digital printing colors are accurate and my custom artwork printed clean and beautifully to the edge of the card. I made it to my event, fresh cards in hand, and will definitely reorder when I need more."
"I couldn't be happier with the business cards I ordered from tinyprints. They copied my design beautifully and the font is exquisite. But most of all I appreciate the weight and heft of the cards. Not flimsy. Everyone has been very impressed. Thanks, tinyprints."
"I was so easily able to personalize this business card design perfectly to the way I wanted it. I am so pleased with this cards."
"Everyone who gets one of my new business cards comments on how cool they are! I wanted clean and modern and was not disappointed. I have also been told they are classy, yet playful! I was able to select the font styles that suited my business and I uploaded a picture of my choice. It was fast, easy and super efficient. I will definitely recommend Tiny Prints to my friends!! Plus now I am hooked on all the cool stationary items as well!"
"I designed two Tiny Prints business cards using my own photography. The card stock is of good quality and the photographic quality is terrific! I reordered one of the cards and it arrived quickly and once again, it was done beautifully! The cards are special and make an impact when shared. Thank you to Tiny Prints for doing such quality work! I'm a happy returning customer!"

My step towards empowerment!
I've learnt about Web 2.0 concept for the first time and I am already enthused to work on this unique project. What's exciting about Web 2.0 is that voices of women from the grass root level and entrepreneurs will reach the world from an individual perspective without any political or third party pressure like we normally see in the print media. This is a great opportunity for young women like me who can constructively use internet to spread the message of social stage. Since I am an active internet user, I can now utilize my time online by focusing on Web 2.0 and learn and network with powerful women around the world.
Web 2.0 being a platform for people who can post their stories and create information to share globally on the Internet, it place a very important role in women's empowerment because it gives chance to women to network, work on a platform which is not politically influenced and women like me can at least report problems that prevails in my society freely on the web to raise voices and concerns and eventually take action.
Reading the articles the fact that amazed me the most was that Women hold just 17% of global decision-making positions, and only 16% of global news stories focus on women. I think that Web 2.0 will be turning the face of media by giving opportunities to women and giving them the power to be heard!
In my profile I mentioned that I am running a youth-led women organization called the 'Youth Dividend', and we aim to empower young people, particularly young women through media, I think I have been associated with Web 2.0 at the right time and I can create a greater different with the platform I am provided. I have already started visioning of the exercise I will be working on and I am confident that web 2.0 will be the only platform which will voice the issues globally. I am working on a project in the Flood hit areas of Pakistan where I will be reporting concerns of women, young girls and documenting their problems which are not given preference, I will be focusing on Sexual and Reproductive health Rights of displaced young women in Flood Affected areas in Sindh and Punjab.
Dear Hira, You are doing
Dear Hira,
You are doing marvelous work and your leadership and vision shows through your assignment! I would love to know more about how you think Web 2.0 can reach poor women in Pakistan--what sort of programs does Youth Dividend support? Have you seen a difference in young women's lives because of Web 2.0 in your community?
Keep up the great work!
Kind regards,
"In every human heart there are a few passions that last a lifetime. They're with us from the moment we're born, and nothing can dilute their intensity." Rob Brezny
Dear Hira, Keep up the great
Dear Hira,
Keep up the great writing! I loved all the specific examples you gave about how you are working to empower the youth, about what you have read (you listed percentages, for example), and you were willing to admit your surprise (re. the statistics).
Your writing feels very, very personal, and I like that, Hira!
A very dear friend of mine just left for Pakistan about 10 days ago to help with the flooding, and I will get his organization's details and email them to you privately. It would be amazing if you could meet him/work with him!
By the way, a nice "added touch" that you included the graphic on Rosie the Riveter. She is one of my favorite icons in US art. How exciting that you know about her too!
Looking forward to reading assignment #2,
Judy Schiller
Week I
I admire your work in the world and that fact that you shared the statistics about women and the media. It is exciting to learn from you. Your own excitement about what you do is palpable. I look forward to hearing about your project and to supporting it if at all possible. It is a clear voice that may promote woman's issues and make them a priority. You inspire me to think about the local issues for woman in my own community.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- How many of you have actually tried to parallel park since your driving test? Or do you circle around the block to find a spot you can simply just pull into? Well now, new technology is designed to take the stress off your hands, literally.
Representatives from Ford Motor Company were at Syracuse University Friday showing off some of their new innovations, among them a 2011 Ford Explorer that can park itself. They were demonstrating several other features as well, including rear seat inflatable seat belts.
Things once seen only as a fantasy in movies like "Back to the Future" are now becoming a reality.
"'Wouldn't it be neat if?', right, and that's all it takes for an engineer to hear and off they go. You know, today kind of demonstrates a lot of exciting innovation that probably started off with 'wouldn't it be neat if,'" said Brian Spahn of the Ford Motor Company.
Spahn says Ford is also touting Hands-Free Voice Activated Sync, similar to features on cell phones. They say they're pushing to prevent distracted driving and keep your hands on the wheel.

Here's an interesting Associated Press story today for your consideration since we've been talking about radiation exposure from cell phones.

Pearson and SunGard Higher Education today announced a relationship and plan to provide a two-part integration of the Pearson LearningStudio learning management system (LMS) with SunGard's Banner Student information system and Luminis Platform through SunGard's Banner Integration for eLearning solution. The relationship and integration provide institutions of higher education with another option in choosing the learning management system that best suits their needs, a key element of SunGard Higher Education's vision of the Open Digital Campus.
The first part of the integration will provide faculty and students with single sign on from the Luminis portal to Pearson LearningStudio, creating a streamlined user experience and eliminating the need to manage multiple login credentials. Users can launch their Pearson LearningStudio home page or target course landing page directly from the Luminis Portal.
The second part of the integration, currently available to Pearson LearningStudio and Banner Student customers, automatically manages and updates student, course and enrollment data originating from the Banner Student system into Pearson LearningStudio. Administrators are able to input this data once into Banner Student rather than having to manage the setup in both systems. The end result is an easier-to-use, efficient system with little need for additional resources at the school level.
The new integration is available now to help institutions of higher education become more efficient by leveraging the official student, course and enrollment data from the Banner Student system to automatically update in Pearson LearningStudio. In addition, single sign-on from the Luminis Platform into Pearson LearningStudio helps simplify the user experience and eliminate the need to manage multiple credentials. Students and faculty can launch their Pearson LearningStudio home pages or targeted course landing pages from within the portal.
Partner integration and cooperation is key to SunGard Higher Education's vision of the Open Digital Campus, a strategy which aims to give colleges, universities and foundations more flexibility to shape how technology meets their evolving needs. As a new member of the SunGard Higher Education Collaborative, a formal network of companies committed to providing high-quality solutions tailored to institutional needs and requirements, Pearson will work closely with SunGard Higher Education to support the evolving needs of mutual customers.
"We are pleased to join the SunGard Higher Education Collaborative and believe our customers will benefit from this relationship. Users of Pearson LearningStudio and Pearson's MyLabsPlus online learning programs who are also leveraging SunGard Higher Education's Banner Student system now have a truly integrated system that is both easy to implement and offers a seamless online user experience for students," said Matt Leavy, chief executive officer of Pearson eCollege.
"Our Open Digital Campus strategy is about providing more options to help customers reach their unique goals, and still have room to evolve and grow with the partners, products and approaches that are right for them," said Fred Weiss, senior vice president of strategy and portfolio management at SunGard Higher Education. "We are pleased to work with Pearson to provide our mutual customers with new possibilities. We are working hard to help colleges and universities around the world meet their digital campus goals today and shape the future of their education experiences."

Aggregate Knowledge CEO Paul Martino On Big Data, DSPs and New Funds
Aggregate Knowledge announced today that it raised $9 million in a round led by OVP Venture Partners and with additional participation from Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, DAG Ventures, and its original existing angels. See the release.
AdExchanger.com asked Martino about Aggregate Knowledge business and the funding environment for ad technology today.
AdExchanger.com: In the release on your new round of funding, "harnessing big data" is discussed. What is "big data"? And what might a typical client look like with "big data"?
PM: Big data means the ability to efficiently process tens of thousands of data transactions per second (DTPS) from advertiser site traffic (e.g. page views, clicks, purchases, any custom action), 3rd party data from data networks and data exchanges, and campaign data (e.g. impressions, clicks).
AdExchanger.com: Given your Aggregate Knowledge Discovery Platform, where does AK fit in the demand-side platform world? Are you a competitor, a partner, etc. to DSPs like MediaMath, CPM Advisors, [x+1], AppNexus, Invite Media, Turn, Adbuyer.com, etc.?
PM: We consider DSP platforms as partners because we do not handle media buying. We allow agencies to centralize the management of their audience data and segments and then distribute those targetable audience segments to not only DSPs, but also real-time bidders, dynamic creative vendors (including AK), and analytics platforms (including AK).
AdExchanger.com: What's the funding climate like these days for ad tech companies?
PM: There is definitely more activity, but VCs are a lot more rigorous in their due diligence. Getting really competitive term sheets really depends on the management team, the existing customer base, the product vision, and the technology.

Most business owners already have Google Analytics and/or Google Webmaster set up for their websites. They know that they need these analytics, and that in some way the information will assist them in bettering their website and in landing more business via their website. But then... they open up Analytics or Webmaster, and when faced with the abundance of information and charts, are lost.
What's the difference between Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools?What's a bounce, and is a high bounce rate good or bad? Should I care about viewer session length or how many pages per visit my website averages?
Simply put, Google Analytics is the study of visitors that have come to your site, whereas Google Webmaster Tools is the study of how your site is fairing inside Google's search engine. While Analytics will show you the behavior of people that came to your site from a search query, Webmaster Tools will show you how well your site ranked for that query, how many impressions your site link received for that query, and how many click-throughs it received.
Simply put, Google Analytics is the study of visitors that have come to your site, whereas Google Webmaster Tools is the study of how your site is fairing inside Google's search engine. While Analytics will show you the behavior of people that came to your site from a search query, Webmaster Tools will show you how well your site ranked for that query, how many impressions your site link received for that query, and how many click-throughs it received.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and yet even getting past the first page in Google Analytics can have your head spinning.
Try the Magic 8 Ball Approach to Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools
You can't expect the tools of Analytics and Webmaster Tools to provide you with answers; they are neutral tools that show data, and lots of it. There will never be a thermometer image that says "yes, your website is doing good!" in these tools, nor any direction for how to improve. Instead, what you need to do is to develop questions that you have for these tools, specific questions that speak towards your own website and your goals for it, and then go to your tool reports to answer them. We think of this as the Magic 8 Ball Approach.
Example 1 (beginner): where are my visitors coming from?
After the first question ("are people finding my site?!"), this is usually the next question. Not in the sense of location in the world, but is it from links, search engines, typing in the URL, an advertising campaign... and yet this report is pretty deeply buried. To find it, you'd go into Google Analytics, then to Acquisition -> Channels. Obvious, right?
Something tiny that many people don't realize is that you can plot the information in the table into a pie chart. Why would you do this? Simple: it's the easiest way to visualize the data by percentages. At the top of the data table, on the right size, is a little pie chart icon. Click on that icon and a pie chart will be displayed, with a mouseover for the percentages.
Example 2 (intermediate): is my site getting search visitors for the keywords and phrases I want?
This information used to be found in Google Analytics, but as Google transitioned to encrypted search, it has phased out all of this information in your Analytics reports and replaced them with (not provided). Thankfully, and fairly recently, Google Webmaster Tools has caught up and provided this information in a usable format, but gone a step further and provided a ton more data as well! The nice thing about Webmaster Tools is its simplicity: the first page you see in your WT report is a small section for "Search Queries"; clicking on the title of that section opens up the complete report. From there you can toggle the "with change" button to see how you're doing vs the previous 30 days, and you can click on a key word or phrase to see the positioning of pages within your site for that keyword in Google.
Example 3 (advanced): how well is my site converting visitors to the goals I've set for them?
Goals and goal conversion are an important aspect of your website capture strategy, and spending time setting goals for your visitors and setting up ways to track them are very important to your online business.
There are two ways to handle goals, and depending on the goal, it can be handled in a more official or more off-hand way. The highly-detailed approach is to use the Goal Tracking provided in Analyics. Rather than provide a tutorial here you can visit Google's own tutorial for setting up Goals.
But some goals aren't always suited to this approach, and when that's the case, I head to the Behavior Flow page (found under the Behavior section in Analytics). On this page you can start from a page, just like a visitor is in coming to your site, and you can see percentages and drop offs as someone navigates through your site. And in doing so, as an example, you can see how many people made it from a popular blog post all the way to the contact page, the path they took, and how many dropped off along the way.
What to do with this information
The point of all of this information isn't just for you to recline, pat yourself on the back, and gloat at your increasing numbers. Not at all! The purpose of this information is for you to gain insight into your website's usage, make hypotheses about what's work, what's not working, and develop strategies, to make changes and test those theories, and to analyze your results.
The technical way of doing this is by doing A/B testing, but for most people this is beyond their skillset. Instead, as a "cheat" way, we recommend a simple approach: making notes in your charts! Head to your "All Traffic" page under "Acquisition". You'll have a line graph of your traffic in the middle of the page; on the bottom edge in the center of that chart you'll see a little down arrow. If you click on that arrow a little pull-down is displayed, along with a link to the right that says "+ create new annotation". Leave a note of what you did, or what happened, and make sure the date is correct!
Looking back you'll be able to view your charts and see these notations in-line with your charts, giving you insight to changes you made or external factors that you felt were notable. Noting the past will give you additional insight into your future directions.
Benefits of this approach: simplicity
As you can see from the previous examples, as your familiarity with the tools increases, and as you get used to thinking more and more strategically about your website, you're able to formulate more and more detailed questions, questions that get into specific aspects of your business online and to improve them!
Need some help getting started? Great! Below are the links for two Google Analytics Dashboards that we've created that will help you find some great information quickly, at a glance.
Your Visitors dashboard
Social Media Traffic dashboard
With both of these dashboard templates you can install them into your Analytics report and click to view a lot of easy-to-digest reports on one page, no more hunting around for information.

Its hilarious how the word "simp" is thrown around so easily. There's a difference between "simping" and "caring". Sadly, 90% of you idiots can't tell the difference between the two.so if youre 24 and on your grown man shit ignore that shit and reply to those of us who came with legit responses. Besides, the fact that you didn't smash is what makes it sound simpy, don't be mad ppl gettin hung up on that detail, its inevitable, do you.

Today I should be doing dishes. And grocery shopping. And cyber shopping. I am not doing any of the above. I did make some phone calls this morning. And I worked a CCD thing.
Calls: Paid a far overdue medical bill of $22. I swear we didn't receive the other notices. Also checked on the major Christmas present order (they sent an email that something was wrong, but the order has already been processed so the email was in error). That's 20 minutes I'll never get back.
CCD thing: I am subbing for a class of 4th through 7th graders while the real teacher is out mourning the loss of her husband. For starters I don't know why you would put 4th-7th together in a class. Second they are heathens. In every since of the word. I actually kicked a boy out last class because he would not stop hitting and talking to another boy. Hitting. Girls hitting boys. Boys hitting girls. Boys hitting boys. Boys playing DS. Seriously disgusting behavior. So I wrote up a contract for them to sign this morning. They will sign it or they won't stay in class. If they break the pledge they have to get a parent to sign a note or come sit with them in class whichever I deem appropriate. Uhg. Just disgusting.
Okay I'm going to do a load of dishes. Just disgusting also.

Coming Soon to Audible: Dustin Hoffman Reading Jerzy Kosinski
The A-List Collection is off to a great start at audible.com, with $14.95 offerings ready by Susan Sarandon, Samuel L. Jackson, Anne Hathaway and Kate Winslet. Intriguingly, Hathaway's rendering of The Wizard of Oz has the reader-reviews edge so far, ahead of her fellow celebs by a half star.
As with all things Hollywood related, the coming attractions are as important a part of the package as the feature presentation. And in that respect, audible has got it going on.
Nine more tantalizing titles are currently teased. Everything from Colin Firth reading Graham Greene to Meg Ryan dropping into William Saroyan's The Human Comedy.

I'd say your good to start Heroic ToCr. 10man for sure. Maybe even 25m.
Personally I like devastate glyph over last stand... 3m is good enough for me in ToCr, and Taunt over vigilance. The devastate glyph will make up for the tps loss on vigilance. Missing a taunt on heroic gormok is bad.
Also I prefer Focused rage over shield spec for raid encounters (especially tocr where there's no trash.)

Osho continues:
"The people of the first type are the fanatics. They cannot even tolerate that there can be other sorts of religions in the world. Their religion is the religion. Because they are so afraid of their ignorance, if there is some other religion also then they will become suspicious, then doubt will arise. Then they will not be so certain. To gain certainty they become very stubborn, madly stubborn. They cannot read others' scriptures, they cannot listen to other nuances of truth, they cannot be tolerant towards other revelations of God. Their revelation is the only revelation, and their prophet is the only prophet. Everything else is absolutely false. These people talk in terms of absolute, while a man of understanding is always relative.
"These people have done great harm to religion. Because of these people, religion itself looks a little stupid. Remember not to be a victim of this first sort. Almost ninety percent of humanity lives in this first sort of religion, and that is in no way better than irreligion. Maybe it is worse – because an irreligious person is not fanatic. An irreligious person is more open, at least ready to listen, ready to talk things out, ready to argue, ready to seek and inquire. But the first type of religious person is not even ready to listen.
"When I was a student in the university I used to stay with one of my professors. His mother was a very devout Hindu; completely uneducated, but very religious. One day on a cold winter night, a fire was burning in the room in the fireplace, and I was reading Rig Veda. She came by the way and she asked, 'What are you reading so late in the night?' Just to tease her, I said, 'This is the Koran.' She jumped over me, took away the Rig Veda and threw it in the fireplace and said, 'Are you a Mohammedan? How do you dare to bring the Koran in my house!' Next day I told her son, my professor that, 'Your mother is a Mohammedan' – because this sort of thing has only been known to be done by Mohammedans.
"Mohammedans burned one of the greatest treasures of the world, the library of Alexandria."

"An Act relating to naturopaths and to the practice of naturopathy; establishing an Alaska Naturopathic Medical Board; authorizing medical assistance program coverage of naturopathic services; amending the definition of 'practice of medicine'; and providing for an effective date."
Posted: February 3, 2010
House Bill 282 creates a Naturopathic Medical Board for the purpose of expanding allowed practices and procedures of Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) and regulates the practice of naturopathic medicine. The board will consist of three naturopaths, one licensed pharmacist, and one public member. The board will work with the Division of Occupational Licensing to issue licenses, and will have authority to investigate and discipline as required. In addition, the state will authorize prescription endorsement which will be offered for the first time for NDs who have practiced for five years; participated in 60 hours of pharmacology education from an approved program; and met all the requirements relating to administration and prescription of drugs, vaccinations, hormones, and medical devices. The prescription endorsement must be renewed every two years. The bill mandates continuing medical education of 35 hours bi-annually, 15 of which must be in pharmacy education.

The new terminal for Stockholm's permanent ferry connections to Finland and the Baltics has been designed as a landmark for the new urban development Norra Djursgårdsstaden - both architecturally and environmentally. The terminal, which will have a facade covered with expanded mesh, recalls the shape of a moving vessel and the architecture - with large cranes and warehouses - that previously characterised the ports. At the same time, the terminal has an ambitious sustainable profile, characteristic of the entire development.
The main idea behind the project was to create natural links between central Stockholm and the new urban area in connection with the terminal, so that city life will flow naturally into the area. Therefore the terminal is raised to be at level with the urban zone so it is easy for both pedestrians and traffic to access. At the same time the roof of the terminal building is designed as a varied green landscape with stairs, ramps, niches, and cosy corners, inviting both Stockholmers and passengers for a stroll or relaxing moments, while enjoying the view of the ferries, the archipelago, and the city skyline.
The aim is that the ferry terminal will be predominantly self-sufficient in energy and thus stand as an environmental model for public construction. Therefore the architecture of the terminal will integrate i.e. solar and wind power; for example the terraced landscape on the roof will integrate beds of solar cells along with the planting. The plan is to communicate the sustainable efforts to the people in the building, i.e. using centrally placed television screens, helping to raise awareness of the potential of sustainable construction.

FCC Gives Denali Media OK to Buy Alaska Stations Over Local Broadcasters Objections
Denali Media has been given the go-ahead from the FCC to buy three Alaska TV stations despite opposition from four Alaskan station groups.
According to one of the stations involved, Denali, a subsidiary of Alaska's cable giant General Communications, Inc., is expected to complete its purchase of Anchorage CBS affiliate KTVA, Sitka NBC affiliate KSCT and Juneau NBC affiliate KATH within days.
The Alaska Dispatch reports, Andy MacLeod, general manager for Anchorage NBC affiliate KTUU one of the stations fighting the sale, told employees in an email following the ruling, "We're disappointed in the FCC ruling and we, along with the other Alaska broadcasters, will assess our legal options moving forward."
A main concern for the media entities that wanted to block GCI/Denali was the concept of a dual monopoly. GCI has what some view as a near-monopoly on the distribution of news, information and entertainment through its statewide cable systems. Jumping in now as a producer of that programming in the form of Denali Media stands to make GCI even more dominant as a common owner of both a cable system and broadcast television stations. The fear of what that would look like if GCI was ruthlessly anticompetitive motivated many Alaska broadcasters to seek protection from the potential threat through regulatory restrictions.

1. Jake the Mistake. Isn't it about time the Denver Broncos acknowledged that Jake Plummer, late of the Phoenix Cardinals, is not quite the back-to-the-Super-Bowl savior they were looking for? Your struggling Donks' 2004 game plan was, of course, to play super-tough "D" behind new acquisitions Champ Bailey and John Lynch and do their best to score with a Clinton Portis-less offense. Denver would win their games 17-10 or 6-3 via stern self-denial and ball control. Because as everyone knows, Shanahan can put Teresa Heinz Kerry in at running back, and his much-heralded "system" will take care of the rest. Well, guess what? Going into Sunday's comeback game against Houston, Plummer had attempted more passes -- 279 -- than any other quarterback in the NFL. That was ten more than Green Bay's Brett Favre, 22 more than the Vikings' Daunte Culpepper, 39 more than Indy's Peyton Manning. But the Snake's completion rate was just 57.7 percent, and he had ten interceptions -- most of them panicky throws in crucial situations -- to go with his fifteen TD strikes. The only guys who gave up more picks were Oakland's Kerry Collins and the other Jake (Jake Delhomme, of the Carolina Panthers), who had eleven each.
Sure, the Broncos have been hurt by serious injuries to running back Mike Anderson and key defenders Trevor Pryce, Lenny Walls and Lynch. But Plummer must take a lot of the heat for Denver's mediocre 6-3 record against a slate of middle-of-the-road opponents. They still call him Snake, but he's not the dangerous scrambler Shanahan thought he was (supermodel of the year: Michael Vick), and in his eighth year of NFL play, Jake should throw a lot straighter than he does. On the other hand, what does it say about Shanahan and the Broncos' out-of-whack offense that they've enrolled Plummer in the National Rifle Association?
2. Whither Barnett? The best player on the scandal-plagued Colorado Buffaloes -- uh, okay, let's make that the ordeal-plagued, unfairly put-upon Colorado Buffaloes -- is their placekicker. The peerless Mason Crosby can nail field goals from Arapahoe County if you want him to. But the rest of the Buffs have looked dazed and confused since their 3-0 start has degenerated into a 5-4 campaign in which looms the possibility that Gary Barnett will become the first CU coach since 1984 to endure back-to-back losing seasons. Beating up on li'l ol' North Texas is one thing; getting blasted by the Texas Longhorns 31-7 is quite another, especially when the running attack produces a net gain of just -- count 'em -- three yards. Maybe Barnett should have tried Mrs. Kerry in his backfield. Instead, the Buffs' beleaguered (and apparently distracted) coach sought to inspire his team by removing the names from the backs of their jerseys -- a we're-all-in-this-together ploy about as effective as, say, having everyone testify before a grand jury. How long before they remove the coach's name from his office at the Dal Ward Center? Hard to tell, but the miseries of the Colorado football program continue apace -- on the field and off. Meanwhile, there's always the Nebraska game. The Buffs visit Lincoln November 26 to face a none-too-able Big Red team that's already lost to Southern Mississippi, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Iowa State by a combined count of 75-170. If he blows this one, even Barnett's most mulish supporters in the booster club may shout for his head.
3. When Sonny Gets Blue. Colorado State, which rose from football jokehood in the 1980s to respectability and then dominance in the WAC and the Mountain West Conference, is suffering through a year that recalls the doom-laden Saturdays of the Leon Fuller era. Coach Sonny Lubick took the rap for the memorable goal-line screwup that handed the Rams' season opener to their in-state rivals from Boulder 27-24, but there wasn't much he could do in 49-0 and 34-16 drubbings by powerful Southern Cal and Minnesota. Nor were the outclassed Rams able to handle number-seven Utah, who smacked them around last weekend. In fact, the entire thing has been a shock to the system in Fort Collins: Saturday's loss reduced the team to 3-6 and, with just two games left, ensured their first losing season since 1993 -- Sonny's first year at CSU. Not only that, but in the wake of a tragic campus drinking incident, the university has halted beer sales at the stadium that now bears Lubick's name. All in all, it's been a sobering fall for the green and gold -- not least for former starting quarterback Justin Holland, who spends his game days up in the press box, nursing a broken leg. Oh, well. The Aggies still have a great vet school.
4. What's that funny smell in Greeley? The winners of consecutive national championships (1996 and 1997) at the NCAA Division II level and formerly unbeatable at 8,500-seat Nottingham Field (51-5 since 1995), the Northern Colorado Bears have found things a lot tougher this season as they move up to Division I-AA on a limited number of scholarships. After squeaking past North Dakota State in their opener more than two months ago, the Bears dropped seven straight and were outscored by more than 100 points while facing what coach Kay Dalton calls the nation's toughest I-AA schedule. The 72-year-old Dalton has coached CU, CSU, four NFL teams (including the Broncos of the Three Amigos era) and the ice-bound Montreal Alouettes, so he's no stranger to adversity. But he wondered earlier this year why former UNC athletic director Jim Fallis booked such a grueling schedule for a Bears team trying to find its way to higher ground.

1. Phase 1 General Entry Fee
Early: US$315
Standard: US$355
Late: US$395
2. Series or Campaign Fee
Multiple, related entries, like a family of kitchen appliances, may be submitted with a single registration. The series fee is an additional US$150 one-time surcharge, for any number of additional pieces.
3. Phase 2 Finalist Second Round Fee
(Only if entry is a Finalist): US$150
4. Winners Circle Service Charge
(Only if entry is a Winner): US$275
Please note: the Winners Circle Service Charge is not optional. It is an important part of competition funding and all winners are obligated to pay it. If you enter the competition, you agree to the Terms and Conditions of the event, which include this fee. Only those firms and individuals who pay their fees are considered Official Spark Winners.
Official Winner Benefits include: digital Spark Yearbook, Exhibition(s), Logo Usage Rights, Winners Certificate PDF, Online Gallery, Publicity and Awards Celebration.
Payment Method
Payments are made directly to our secure online registration page. We accept the following credit cards: VISA Mastercard, JCB, Diners Club and Discover. In special circumstances, Spark can also take payment via Paypal and bank wire with their standard service charges and by check (USA checks only).
All dates and fees subject to change. Fees are due upon registration or upon notification of Finalist or Winner status. Refunds are available, up to 6 weeks prior to deadline.
Fee Structure
Spark works hard to provide the best value of any of the major international design awards, as well as having the most modern competition criteria. To widen the entrant field, and keep the competition as open to as many designers as possible, we have a low initial entry fee, then a second "hanging fee" for finalists, and later, a Winners Circle service charge for winners. Thus, only those who participate–and benefit the most, pay the complete fees. Those who participate less, pay less.
We usually have lower fees than the other major design awards—in many comparisons Spark is less than half the cost of those competitions, when all their winners fees are added up. We urge all designers to research and inform themselves about these facts.

Four Season Tented Camp Thailand
Four Season Tented Camp Thailand | Golden Triangle, Thailand | If there was a hotel I visited in 2011, that went above and beyond any expectations, was the Four Seasons Tented Camp at Golden Triangle in the northern region of Thailand, right on the border with Lao and Burma. How about combining the best of Four Seasons signature luxury, style and customer service, with the exuberant beauty of the bamboo jungles of Chiang Rai province in the outdoors, surrounded by a local Elephants camp, Burmese chanting monks in the mornings and serene waters of the Mekong River. How would I define and summarize this experience, simply like this… train to become a Mahout, live with the elephants in full luxury, enjoy all-inclusive adventures, spoil yourself at their full service outdoor spa and dine like a king or queen.
