Some aesthetic issues are also of concern, such as painting in a few of the parks.

A friendly rivalry kept two Buford High School seniors going to school each and every day.
It wasn't to achieve the highest grade point average or the best scores in sports.
It was literally to come to school each day.

"My mother made me go to school," said Morris, the son of Libby and Joey Morris. "So I can't take full credit for it. I don't get sick."

A typical ignorant anti-anonymous comment right there ^^^^^ How can you call this the "WORST" kind of thuggery, when you have RAPE, MURDERS, ... If you could compare this at all you could say anonymous breaks into a building destorys files or steals files. They sometimes make spare keys so they can get into the building whenever they want. Do you call that the worst kind of thuggery? Do you have children? Probably doesn't even matter what they say to you, because I can tell from your post that you have done no investigating into anonymous whatsoever. How can you even call them racist, when anymonous has members all over the frigging world? Hackers are from anywhere in the world. Hacks get done using IRC, anonymous chats, by people from ALL OVER THE FKING WORLD. It doesn't matter if you are white, black, grey or purple.

This article is typical of pro-Anonymous propaganda that seeks to portray this vigilante cult as some sort of legitimate social activist group. It's not. It engages in the worst kind of thuggery, replete with misogyny, racism and vicious hatred of anyone or group that wishes to use the Internet freely in ways they don't approve of. Unless you want a crypto-totalitarian movement to take over your society, you need to start reporting more credibly on these thugs and security firms should be prodded into being less admiring and perpetuating their fun playmates. Victims should document and report their attacks. http://3dblogger.typepad.com/wired_state/2013/02/anonymous-is-a-rigidly-disciplined-cadre-organization-not-a-loose-knit-movement.html

The research activities of the School continue to develop, maintaining our emphasis on student and staff inclusion and a drive to innovate and engage with the economy.
Our objectives from RAE 2001 were achieved, increasing our rating from the 5C grading allocated previously, and the School has grown both in staff numbers (almost a third of our submission came from early-career researchers) and in research income. As a measure of our success, more than 40% of the research outputs were classified in the internationally excellent to world-leading categories.
In particular we were praised for the "excellent training and support for research students", the "prizes won by research students at international conferences", and our "strong engagement with industry, and commercialisation of research", along with our engagement of staff at international level with government and professional bodies.
Aston has had a long-standing emphasis on the importance of its PhD student training and employability, the relevance of its research, and its desire to provide an environment which is supportive to its staff.
Building on this, our plan is to continue our support for improving our students' and staff research experience, and to develop new research areas to complement our existing peaks of excellence in photonics, biomaterials, bioenergy and pattern processing.
The School has established a European Bioenergy Research Institute, and continued to support University's Aston Brain Centre and the Aston Research Centre into Healthy Ageing

The New York City Police Department on Friday announced the former head of the National Latino Officers Association has been promoted.
Robert Gonzalez will now serve as Assistant Commissioner for Education and Research.
He was formally promoted during an NYPD ceremony at One Police Plaza.
Gonzalez has been in the department since 1993 and was a president of an organization advocating for Latino officers.
Police Commissioner William Bratton says Gonzalez will diversify the department's senior management and help train officers.
Gonzalez says he looks forward to putting his experience to good use.
"I have a doctorate in education and with that I plan to design new training, research old training and new paradigms in training and law enforcement and just be part of this refreshing new agenda that Police Commissioner William Bratton has put together," Gonzalez said.
The National Latino Officers Association says they're happy to have Gonzalez in such a high position, but say their long term goal is to have a Latino commissioner.

For years, females have been taunted by medical professionals — not to mention society — reminding them that their biological clock is ticking. Well, now it's the guys' turn.
According to a study published in the most recent issue of the journal JAMA Psychiatry, men who father children at 45 or older have a higher risk of having a child who will suffer from psychiatric and academic problems.
Researchers from Indiana University analyzed the data of more than 2.6 million children born in Sweden between 1973 and 2001, and took note of the mental health issues in kids born to younger and older fathers. The children who were conceived by fathers over the age 45 were 3.5 times more likely to develop autism, 13 times more likely to develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 24 times more likely to develop bipolar disorder compared to the children whose daddies were between 20 to 24 years old.
It's not over — the children with older fathers were also at a higher risk for psychosis, suicide attempts, substance abuse, failing grades in school and low educational attainment.
"We are not saying that every child born to an older father is going to have these problems," study researcher Brian D'Onofrio, an associate professor of psychology at Indiana University, told LiveScience. "But this study adds to a growing body of research that shows that advancing age is linked to some rare but serious problems. Moreover, our study suggests that this increased risk is, in fact, larger than previous estimates."
While women have to worry about losing their eggs as the minutes progress, men are continuously producing sperm, so scientists believe the older the man, the more likely his sperm with have genetic mutations.
This study reminds me of the saying, "Forewarned is forearmed." But on the flip side, sometimes news like this can make people panic. Many times in life, we don't get to choose the "ideal age" to have a child — the time chooses us. So while the clock on your smart phone may be timed to the exact second of the official world time, the clock in your body tends to work by your own individual dial.

There may be some confusion among new blog readers about this blog - and so i've added a little explanation to the blog sidebar that I hope will shed some light on things.
There are a few additional points i'd like to make:
(a) This blog is about the development of community features; this is not customer service. While other readers can sometimes help you solve a problem (and i encourage this), i can't really address issues like shipping oddities, broken discs, account things, and so on. I can, however, fix website bugs (or send them to people who can) - and to the degree you think something is a weird bug that is persistent and probably affects many people, I do like hearing that. (and no - lack of Mac-based instant watching is not technically a bug...) Already, you guys have identified a number of bugs that I missed, and we've been able to fix them quickly. In the cases where you are seeing a debilitating issue, information about your OS and browser really help.
(b) Our web development isn't really a democracy (i think it's more of a republic... ) i value your input and feedback and i combine it with many other sources of information to determine what I build and when. Y'all are an asset and a great resource, but please understand that I don't just build what the blogging majority (or the vocal minority) suggest. We have methods to discover if features are needed by large segments of our users, but this blog isn't that. You guys are a self-selected, usually advanced, relatively technical, pretty dern smart, movie-loving group. (this is what I like about you). But you must realize you are special and not necessarily representative of all our members. But I really do hear you and your insightful/compelling arguments are fantastic.
(c) I have limited ability to get my partners to contribute here - i'm on the team building the website, and my associates bring you things like Instant Watching, the Queue, Recommendations, Ratings, and so on. They all read this blog and your comments, and will post occasionally, but not to the extent that I do. I only write about what I know and what I am doing. When I don't respond to comments about other things, it's only because i have little value to add. Which leads me to...
(d) Netflix doesn't "hate you" when we either don't respond directly to your comment or don't implement the feature you want most. Netflix in general (and me, in particular) value you highly. I respond directly to comments once in awhile, but somewhat randomly I think. If I do comment to you, it's because something you said has nicely sparked a conversation. And finally...
(e) I'm doing this blog to help me in my efforts to develop these features that explore the value of community in movie discovery. To the degree it's helpful, fun and relatively civil, i'll keep doing it. if it descends into name calling, poor behavior, and a general lack of decorum, i'll probably give up. So far i have been deeply impressed with all of you and the quantity of good thinking and helpful input.
So thank you, and i hope this helps give context to what is going on here.

Each year, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) issues an antiretroviral pricing
and access guide, Untangling the Web of Antiretroviral Price Reductions.
Ahead of the 15th edition to be launched later this year, MSF is asking for
people familiar with the publication to provide feedback via an online
survey on how they use it, what information they specifically use and how
relevant it is to their current work.
The survey is comprised of 12 short questions, and takes around five
minutes to complete. Your feedback is important, so we encourage you to
take this short survey on Untangling the Web.

UFC featherweight star Conor McGregor came under fire from fans and media alike with his offensive (albeit good-natured) tweet regarding UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and her UFC 168 opponent Miesha Tate. Considering the UFC has generally fined or suspended their athletes for such incidents, many wondered if the Irish-born star would receive the same treatment.
UFC President Dana White spoke with media members on Thursday afternoon regarding the matter, admitting that he was not impressed with McGregor's tweet and contacted him immediately to inform him to issue an apology to the female athletes.
"When I found out about that, I reached out to him [McGregor] and he had already written an apology." Dana said, "He is a young kid that made a really dumb tweet."
White also stated that he had spoken with both the champ and the title challenger regarding the matter, and that they do not appear to have been offended by the sexual nature of the tweet. Miesha had even gone to the extent to reply to McGregor's apology, saying she understands that it was intended as a joke.
"I talked to both Miesha and Ronda, and both of them were like 'whatever, not a big deal'. He apologized and before I knew he had even written the apology I said 'he will apologize to you' but he already had. He likes both of them and respects them."
The UFC President once again expressed his dislike for fighters attempting to masquerade as comedians on social media networks, as it often results in unnecessary trouble for the aforementioned fighter.
"These guys try to be f***ing funny on twitter – again, same thing. He was there [TUF Gym] yesterday and he's like 'ya, when I am sitting there tweeting, sometimes I don't even think people are reading my tweets.' – Ya, nobody is reading your tweets."
When asked if there is an ethics code in place for such issues, White admit that that was certainly the case and that it clearly covers such incidents.
"There is an ethics code and that's definitely in the ethics code that you don't tweet stuff like that about women or about your fellow fighters here in the UFC. "
Should the UFC be concerned that several of their young stars could potentially be incapable of handling their new-found stardom? White says that fighters should simply mind the information they share on a public forum and that would keep them out of trouble. He even mentioned that McGregor had been interested in training with Rousey and that he should not treat a potential teammate in such a manner.
"There is nothing wrong with overhyping yourself. Its saying or tweeting dumb s*** – things that are inappropriate. The crazy part is, he's been trying to hit Ronda up – he wants to go train with Ronda. And then you are gonna send a tweet like with somebody you want to hang out with and train with. It just doesn't make sense."
With all things considered, White simply expects his fighters to use common sense when addressing fans and fellow fighters.
" I don't expect people to be f***ing rocket scientists over here – these guys aren't going to go out and find the cure for cancer or anything. All I ask is for is a little common sense. Just a little tiny bit of f***ing common sense."

What movies did you order in your hotel room last year? Chances are, it was The Hangover, the movie about four buddies partying so hard during a bachelor party trip to Vegas that they lose their groom and must find him before he misses his vows.
The movie placed No. 1 on hotel-movie provider LodgeNet's top 10 list of most-ordered hotel-room movies for 2009. Here are the rest:
For those of you interested in the business side of things...Of the 320 movie titles ordered on its systems last year, LodgeNet said 41 generated more than $1 million or more in sales revenue - a LodgeNet record for number of yearly, million-dollar blockbusters. But that generally reflects the fact that more people decided to pay for fewer films, resulting in higher numbers for those 41, said LodgeNet spokeswoman Ann Parker.
Overall, with 2009 hotel occupancy down about 9% and tighter travel budgets among people who still did travel, LodgeNet saw revenues from on-demand movies and other forms of hotel-TV entertainment fall during the first nine months of last year. (The company reports fourth-quarter results next week.)
LodgeNet's entertainment revenue, which includes on-demand entertainment such as movies, games and music, dropped by nearly 19% in the third-quarter of 2009 vs. same period in 2008, according to the company's statement - less than the 23% drops seen in earlier in the year.
Readers: What movies did you order in your hotel room last year? And what did you think of the movie title selections that you saw? Did you find titles you liked?

"Another classic Christie"
Unexpected plot twists
Any other Christie work
I have enjoyed listening to Hugh Fraser's performances of Christie's works. I have listened to several, and he does such a great job as narrator.
No, I was okay with drawing it over several sittings. It got a little slow in places, and the ending seemed a little improbable.
"Great collection of short stories"
Yes. I have enjoyed the mysterious character of Harley Quinn, and I enjoy Mr. Saitherwaite's fussiness.
The work is a set of short stories. You are able to stop after each story, so no.
Mr. Saitherwaite
No, I listened to it while I was out walking, so I was motivated to walk each day until I finished. It gave me something to look forward to.
"Forget Twilight--Read the Original Vampire Story"
Yes, because it is the start of all great vampire tales.
Not sure
I enjoyed the Van Helsing narration best. This was an ensemble performance, and all of them were great.
Already is a film
"Great historical fiction"
It's in the middle. Not the best, but certainly not the worst!
The love story that developed.
I liked the market place scenes!
It's already a film.
I have read three books by this author, and this one is certainly her best effort.
"Christie at her best"
Yes, because the performance was great, and this was one of Christie's better works. The plot was tighter, and I thought I knew "whodunit" long before the end, but I was wrong...which was fun!
The end when you find out who the murderer is!
Everything! He's a brilliant performer.
Yes, I really enjoyed this work. Christie's plots seemed to get looser as she continued to write, but this one was very tightly written and had a good twist at the end.
"Finally "read" The Hobbit"
After having watched the film, I finally broke down and listened to The Hobbit. I have read the LOTR trilogy, and I have tried to read The Hobbit before, but I just couldn't get into it. Listening to it made the experience enjoyable. I finally found myself being engrossed by the tale.
LOTR, of course
I liked that the thunder battle and the stone giants turned out to be a part of the book!
It's already a film!
At first, I found the narrator's Thorin and Gandalf voices to be very annoying. I almost stopped listening because I disliked the way he did these two characters' voices. However, after giving it enough time, I became accustomed to it.
"Excellent read, umh, listen!"
I have read this book before, and I have listened to the abridged version as well, but I love all the details, so I wanted to hear it as a whole. Nathaniel Philbrick does a great job of telling the tale of the Pilgrims!
I'm not sure that there's a book to which I'd compare it.
The book is a history work, so Guidall does not do "voices" for characters because he is not reading fiction.
Mayflower--the story of the Pilgrims survival.
This is a great book!
"Waiting on Weight"
I enjoyed the story, and I couldn't wait to find out how it would turn out.
I enjoyed the performance.
The different voices and view points.
Callie because she is the central character.
I felt like it took too long to get the girls "found."
"Harley Quinn or harlequin?"
I enjoyed this book, and think most Christie fans would as well.
No. It's a collection of short stories featuring Harley Quinn & Mr. Satterthwaite. Each story is interesting, but it's easy to put the work aside after each chapter/story.
I liked a few of the stories more than the others, but nothing truly stood out.
I would not make it into a film.
I like Harley Quinn; he reminds me of Poirot. Mr.Satterthwaite reminds me of Miss Marple,, my favorite Christie character.
"Typical Agatha Christie Fare"
I don't think that everyone would be interested in Agatha Christie. Her early works are her strongest, but she goes downhill in her later years.
The storyline wasn't too bad, but by the end, it was rather predictable.
She did a good job with the reading. I would listen to something else by her.

|I wanted to let posters know there are many searchable databases available to help narrow your choices for a particular plant that needs to meet certain requirements. If you google "searchable plant database" I'm sure you will find one that is helpful.
After narrowing your choice it would be wise to discuss with your local nursery as well as to inquire on the forum to see if anyone has had experience with the plant. Good luck with your search.
Here is a link that might be useful: An example of a searchable database
Follow-Up Postings:
|That particular guide seems of little use to me. I took it for a quick test drive, and found that it produced a lot of trees and shrubs that wouldn't grow in my area (the search limitations weren't sufficient to really be useful) and some that were highly invasive (which certainly should not be recommended).
Rather than depend on search tool like this or nurseries (which are frequently misinformed), a good stroll in your local arboretum or botanical garden might be a better choice. Also, just keep an eye out on what you see growing in your area.
|Yep to the last paragraph. Yep and yep again.
|Brandon, I was using that particular database as an example. There are MANY searchable databases. I also thought I made it clear in my last paragraph that further research should be done before purchasing, that the database was to aid in narrowing down the choice.
I wholeheartedly agree that looking at what is growing in your area is an excellent idea. The problem is that many homeowners do not know exactly what plant they have. They may know it is a boxwood, but how many different types of boxwood are there?
I don't think it is fair to use a blanket statement that many nurseries are misinformed. Several of our local nurseries are very reputable. Also, while I would love to stroll through a botanical garden, our closest one is about 3 hours away.
- Posted by Suzette316 7 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 1, 12 at 8:34
|Thanks Molly! I agree with you wholeheartedly. These data bases can be a very good starting point and can be very beneficial to getting things narrowed down. And I have several nurseries in my area that are staffed with folks who have a wealth of knowledge, so yes there are some great ones out there!
|I've dealt with MANY nurseries all over the country. Many are thought of as "the best of the best", at least in their area. VERY FEW of the employees at any of them know much more about plants than the average Gardenwebber. Yes, occasionally you will get an especially gifted employee, but the odds are only slightly better than winning the lottery. Even most nursery owners will tell you this. I probably couldn't count as high as the number of nightmare stories I've heard about people trusting nurseries to know what they are doing. Gardenweb is filled with examples! It's unfortunate, but very few nurseries can safely be considered a reliable source of good info.
|Makes me appreciate my local nursery even more.
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Thu, Mar 1, 12 at 18:57
|I gotta stick up for our nurseries, too...we have some really good ones. Some are retail, some are wholesale but let me in because I don't waste their time and they like to talk plants with other plant lovers. I know which employees I prefer to deal with (generally the owners) and they are honestly my best sources of information, although GW is rapidly getting almost as good!
- Posted by strobiculate none (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 14:06
|Let us go visit the local college. And when you talk to the guy at the little booth at the parking lot, perhaps we should turn and go home because she's an idiot? I mean, aren't institutions of higher learning SUPPOSED to hire intelligent people?
Or what happens when you go to a hospital, and the janitor doesn't know the first thing about how to stop bleeding? Should one seek advice online because hospitals are supposed to hire people who at least know the basics of first aid?
Ok, so I suppose you could say you have to talk to the right person. And most garden centers of any size have someone on staff who does know their Deutzia from their Exochorda. Of course, then you get into the situation where so and so is more concerned about business than customer service. And customers are more concerned about getting cheap than getting good. I suppose we should support UPS and all use mail order; I mean, they obviously are more concerned about your success than a local company who would rather have your business for years.
and as long as the gold standard of gardening knowledge is the credential of a Master Gardener, there is no change foreseeable.
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Fri, Mar 2, 12 at 18:41
|I know...I think I may be living in a bubble here...many of our local nursery people teach horticulture classes at the junior college, write for Pacific Horticulture, are active in societies such as Bonsai, Conifer, etc. I'm steadfastly refusing to take off my rose-colored glasses!
If you went to the local college and found that they had one professor that had a bachelor's degree but everyone else flunked out of school and never graduated high school, would you consider that college a good place to get an education? Maybe you would, but I wouldn't.
I'm not sure about that guy in the booth that turned out to be a she, but that's another conversation. (-:
If you went to the hospital and could only find one person that knew basic first aid and he only showed up on Tuesday and Thursday, would you consider that an exemplary medical resource. Well, not me!
Unfortunately, most garden centers are in business for one thing, profit. A rare few make the effort to hire well-educated professional people, or take the time and effort to train their people sufficiently, but those are absolutely the exception!
|I just thought of something that maybe everyone realizes anyway, but it's probably still worth saying....approach ALL information sources with a skeptical mind. Once you have experience with a source of information, you can adjust your filter, but never completely remove the filter. There are some sources that I only need one or two supporting sources for confirmation, but others that I take only as a slight nudge in one direction. In other words, some sources may be almost always correct, while others are only occasionally correct. I have never found a source that wasn't wrong occasionally. Even if you go and find a specimen growing and thriving in an arboretum or botanical garden, don't necessarily assume it's ID'd correctly.
|Brandon, we finally agree!
- Posted by strobiculate none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 5, 12 at 18:12
|Let it be said...
*edited for content*
I guess that having a profit motive is evidence of gross corruption and moral degeneration, but only if you own a nursery.
So why would the honest, intelligent people want to work for such an organization?
For the good pay, luxury working conditions, and respect of their customers (see previous)?
Perhaps Blagojevich could use someone to run his new campaign for office...
|I'm not sure I really follow Strobiculate's last post, so this is kind of in response to things in the post (and what I think his point is) and kind of not (because I'm not really certain of the point being made), but....
I think that nursery owner's (many at least) use their profit margin, or lack thereof, as an excuse not to train or hire reasonably trained people, but I don't think it's a good excuse. Reasonably intelligent workers could be trained FAR better than most of them are with only a minimal amount of effort. Now, I know things like seasonal turnover and ebbs and flows in business account for some challenges in getting and keeping people trained, but I think a little more effort on the part of many nurseries could pay off big time in the long run. With the big-box stores taking a bigger and bigger bite out of the nursery business, I think many nurseries are going to be forced into giving better service in order to stay in business. Maybe they feel like they are fighting for their life now and saving money by not training, but the big box stores are going to be pretty hard to beat and the only way I see for most nurseries to win is through better customer service. Many customers are going to choose the cheap way no matter what, but some of us are fine with paying a little more for knowledge and helpfulness.
As for why people work for nurseries, it depends on the person. I see many people that work for nurseries only because they need work and can do the physical work required. I see others that just really enjoy working with plants (those people can be trained!). And, I see a very few that are horticultural experts who are willing to work for the enjoyment they receive from what they do and for what they can receive at better nurseries with sharp owners who consider the payoff over time.
|The Bottom Line
• Best management practices are constantly changing as a result of ongoing scientific research
• Most nurseries do not have resources to research and write educational materials
• Educational materials for both customers and employees need to be updated annually to ensure
• Information on best management practices is readily available from WSU and other land-grant
university extension offices
Here is a link that might be useful: The Myth of Indisputable Information
|Below That Bottom Line...
"Best management practices are constantly changing as a result of ongoing scientific research"
It's unfortunate that most nurseries are oblivious of these changes and maybe even of the research.
"Most nurseries do not have resources to research and write educational materials"
There's really no need for them to rewrite what has already been written. At least in many cases, the research has already been done and the results well presented. The only thing the nurseries need to do is be aware and pass the information along to their employees and to their customers. Since most nurseries are not in the business of scientific research or publishing, there's no real reason for them to try to enter those market.
"Educational materials for both customers and employees need to be updated annually to ensure validity"
While I would recommend always being on the lookout for updates or advances, much of the information, that nurseries need to know and pass on to their employees and customers, hasn't changed in a decades.

|That is why we need to keep our own data base on our research plus use the experience of those here as well as our local nurseries and extension agents. But just because someone else has success with some plants others will not. I have seen plants that did well in areas that they should not and no one else seems to be able to grow. That is why I use my Genealogy program as a storage of all my successes and failures as I grow or kill plants that others seem to love and enjoy. It keeps them all easy to find and in the same program for later reference. so in the end I have to decide if they are agreeable with me and where I live. It will always be fun having success getting plants from seeds even if I have to find a home for them when I end up with too many. :)
|All there has to be is a difference in soil conditions for there to be different results with the same plants in nearby locations. There can be different soil conditions right on the same building lot.

Is This The Google "Workaround"? 16 commentsJul 20, 2013 1:01 AM | about stocks: VRNG
That brings in enhanced campaigns. As Larry talked about this, enhanced campaigns was a big long-term bet that is designed to help advertisers more easily reach customers across devices with the right message, all within one campaign. We already migrated six million of active campaigns to enhanced campaigns over the last many months. Our goal is to migrate all of our advertisers and campaigns by the end of this month. This effort has been executed at breakneck-speed and client reaction has been generally positive.
We're getting back evidence from clients seeing improved performance unit using enhanced campaigns. For example Pizza Hut. Social mobile ROI increased by 20%. They found that mobile click through rate has increased by more than 60% while that cost per order on smartphones is dropped by 17%. We believe enhanced campaigns does set up our clients and our business really well for the long-term and the move towards a constantly connected world goes far beyond just direct response and transaction of marketing.
Larry Page - CEO
Yes, that's a great question. I will also say maybe one sentence and turn it over to the other guys. I think it's important to keep in mind like enhanced campaigns are the largest change we made in AdWords ever, and it was done pretty quickly, and so I think we're still very, very early stages with that. We changed tremendous amounts for how our teams operate, how our advertisers operate, how everyone buys those ads, what the users see, and we've done it pretty well. It's been pretty smooth which I'm really excited about. But, like I said that's the early stages of a very, very major change. I think we're very pleased with how that's going.

Looks like it may be. It certainly is interesting having read through the transcript that Page takes care to note how quickly it has been and is being implemented.
Justin Giles put it best a while back but I'll paraphrase here: GOOG is risking their bread and butter core business, losing customers and their primary revenue base, on the order of several billion per quarter, just to try and avoid a payment that will only just exceed 1 billion. Its sheer lunacy, and if I were a GOOG shareholder, I would not be happy. They are having enough issues with their advertising business the past several quarters to begin with...
What we need here is a specialist in the specific application of these two patents to explain what actual technology these patents protect and then compare the actual inner workings of enhanced campaigns to see if its still infringing upon the patents or if it actually is a different method of which does not infringe on the patents.
Why have a workaround? Intelligent hedge for one and dealing with the reality at hand for two.
To cover all their bases. People still seem to believe, that providing a "workaround" admits guilt. The jury already said Google infringed. Whether they win appeals or not, this supposed workaround would reduce any royalty payments further. It's no different than why they will take this case as far as possible. To prevent other companies to do the same thing. How much is that worth? That is a subjective viewpoint. Only Google truly knows what they are willing to spend, to go to the ends of the earth to stop patent trolls. The ludicrous part is Google is a troll themselves.
I am an SEM specilist, I've been managing adWords accounts for 8+ years. Nothing in Enhanced campaigns diminishes the importance that CTR has on Quality score. Basically it is an easier way to manage your campaigns by consolidating all device targeting into a single campaign.
"The way Quality Score is determined does not change in enhanced campaigns."
Thanks. Here's the quality score info too: http://bit.ly/1401vUn

Hatay, Turkey (CNN) -- A Turkish military vehicle was attacked Thursday near the Aegean coastal town of Foca, leaving as many as two soldiers dead and nine wounded, the military said.
The vehicle was hit by explosives and the soldiers were then attacked by gunmen in the province of Izmir, the military said.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack that occurred early in the morning as the vehicle was on its way to a military base in the province of Izmir. The military referred to the attackers only as "terrorists."
Turkish state TV reported at least one soldier dead and four wounded.

Nexxus Elixir Styling Curl Enhancing Alluring Curls
Based on 1 Review
ElizabethHairDark BrownCurly HairThis Stuff Is So Great I May Never Straighten My Hair Again!This stuff is amazing! It is a clear, lightweight gel. (Not as heavy as standard hair gel, but not watery like Ouidad's Climate Control.) I have had great results with it. It improves clumping and curl formation, minimizes frizz, and leaves me with shiny, bouncy curls! I couldn't be happier.

Gas prices are climbing due to increased demand for fossil fuel around the world. U.S. business leaders, academics and members of the policy community who are eying renewable energy want to know the best ways to harness alternative power sources to keep America's engines running. Could the Danish and Germans hold the answers Americans seek?
This spring, the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), in conjunction with the Royal Danish Embassy and the German Embassy, will embark upon a two-city U.S. tour to share how their respective countries have reached aggressive clean energy goals. The University of Virginia Darden School of Business will be the second stop along their way.
On Thursday, 29 March, guests are invited to the presentation "Sustainable Ways to Community Prosperity." This event is for business leaders seeking ways to improve society, politicians interested in policy's role in sustainability, academics who create new knowledge in sustainability and students poised for change.
Attendees will gain:
A morning panel discussion called "Think Globally – Act Locally: Sustainable Ways to Community Prosperity" will feature remarks from:
Mark A. White, finance professor at the U.Va. McIntire School of Commerce, will moderate the discussion that follows.
A second morning presentation will highlight local and Virginia sustainability actions, featuring:
An afternoon presentation, "The Business Case for Sustainability," will broach the ways that businesses can create solutions for environmental challenges. Panelists will include:
Michael Lenox, Samuel L. Slover professor of business, associate dean and executive director of Darden's Batten Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, will moderate the discussion.
While one size does not fit all, the event will demonstrate how creating a dialogue and exchanging ideas and perspectives can foster cooperation between neighboring regions and change behaviors and attitudes.
Darden's high-engagement learning environment prepares MBA students for the challenges and opportunities inherent in fostering sustainable business. As a school, Darden has committed to being a zero waste, carbon neutral enterprise by 2020 and a Top 10 business school for teaching and research on sustainability by 2013. Darden is also home to the Alliance for Research on Corporate Sustainability, an organization that advances research and convenes scholars addressing sustainability issues in business.
ACORE invited the Darden School to be a part of its tour because of Darden's demonstrated commitment to improving society through sustainability leadership. Keith A. Crawford, member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited professional and facilities manager at Darden, has spearheaded the event with University partners.
Registration is required. Visit ACORE for more information about the event and the day's agenda. For questions or information, contact email@example.com or a member of the Communication team.

CaixaBank, Telefónica to Trial NFC Payment Again at Mobile World Congress; Part of 'NFC Experience'
Spain's CaixaBank, mobile operator Telefónica and Visa Europe, along with technology vendor Gemalto, plan to demonstrate NFC payment at next week's big Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The project could be a lead-up to a long-awaited commercial launch of NFC payment later this year by the bank and telco, which have already extensively trialed NFC. They have not yet said when they will roll out NFC, however.
Trial organizers will provide NFC-enabled Sony Xperia T handsets with the prepaid Visa payWave application, preloaded with €15 (US$20.09), to 3,500 Mobile World Congress delegates. Telefónica developed the mobile-wallet application, and CaixaBank's prepaid payment subsidiary, MoneyToPay, is the issuer of the payWave application, which will be stored on Telefónica SIM cards. Gemalto likely will provide the NFC SIM cards. It's not clear whether any trusted service manager is required for the project.
There are at least 16,000 NFC-enabled retail point-of-sale terminals available in and around Barcelona, along with about 1,000 taxis and an unspecified number of terminals in the Fira Gran Via conference and expo venue itself.
The CaixaBank savings bank, part of La Caixa, is one of Spain's largest retail banks and the strongest backer to date of contactless payment and NFC among financial institutions in the country.
Over the past year, the bank has distributed more than 1 million contactless EMV cards to customers and deployed at least 750 contactless ATM machines, which it developed–the first bank to deploy such a system.
In December, the bank also started issuing passive contactless stickers and planned to have distributed 200,000 of them by the time of the Mobile World Congress.
La Caixa, along with Telefónica and Visa, held a smaller NFC trial three years ago at the Mobile World Congress, with the bank putting a Visa payWave application on Telefónica SIMs in Samsung S5230 NFC phones. That year, 400 delegates participated in the trial, which was beset by technical problems. About 30 merchant locations around the venue had contactless payment terminals.
But this trial served as a prelude to one of the largest NFC trials held to date, in the resort town of Sitges, near Barcelona, where organizers enabled 1,500 users to tap a Visa payWave-enabled payment application issued by La Caixa to pay at 500 merchant locations. The application ran on Telefónica SIMs, provided by Gemalto.
The new NFC payment trial is part of the "NFC Experience," put on by mobile operator trade group, the GSMA, which organizes the Mobile World Congress.
The GSMA earlier announced other parts of the program, which will help it demonstrate NFC technology to MWC attendees.
At registration, attendees with certain NFC-capable mobile phones can choose to have an optional virtual badge installed on their phones, which will enable users to gain venue access through NFC-enabled access control readers. The virtual badge will supplement, rather than replace, the physical badge issued to all Mobile World Congress attendees, but they won't have to show their photo ID each time they enter the venue.
An area of the Fira Gran Via venue, which the GSMA is calling the NFC Center, will be devoted to displays and demonstrations of NFC handsets and smart posters, as well as information about the NFC ecosystem.
And there will be more than a dozen NFC "interactive zones" located along walkways, at entrances and in exhibition halls. Users will be able to tap NFC tags in smart posters to get exhibitor directories and information on the venue and nearby services.
In and around Barcelona, NFC displays at the major airport, in hotels near the venue and select restaurants and tourist sites will have NFC touch points. That's in addition to the contactless POS terminals in stores and taxis.

by Simon Black: What's
a Young Person Supposed ToDo?
I had to come
see for myself. What does the worst radiation and natural disaster
in history look like? Chaos. Devastation. Cataclysm. Right?
none of the above. Fukushima and the surrounding prefecture is as
quaint and picturesque as ever. Eight months on, there are hardly
any signs of a nuclear accident or major earthquake, at least on
the surface.
I was half-expecting
the town to have a permanent decontamination facility… with
radiation detectors as far as the eye can see, and legions of workers
in biohazard suits. After all, this town of nearly 300,000 is now
the world's largest dirty bomb.
But riding
through the surrounding area and walking around the streets today,
Fukushima looks like any other small(ish) town. Schools, temples,
shops, and restaurants… everything is normal. In fact, it's
almost eerily normal, like something out of an old Hitchcock film.
People here
have moved on and even learned to joke about the incident with an
untraditional sarcasm. At dinner this evening, my friend asked the
waiter "How's the eggplant?" to which the waiter
replied with a dry smile, "Oh don't worry, we source that
from another location now…"
The really
bizarre thing is that the radiation levels are still really high…
yet everyone is staying put. Tepco, the group that operates the
failed nuclear reactors nearby, has been publishing all sorts of
propaganda saying that radiation levels are falling. Nobody believes
A group of
politicians staged a recent media stunt, drinking water that was
supposedly filled from a puddle outside Fukushima's reactors,
and dining on local produce. Nobody seems to care.
The government
is telling them not to worry while private studies suggest otherwise.
A recent paper published by Norwegian atmospheric scientist Adreas
Stohl refutes a number of claims made by the Japanese government,
and it more than doubles the government's estimate of how much
radiation was released in the accident.
And yet, nearly
everyone is still here. After the initial evacuation, people just
came back to town and picked up where they left off. They know the
government is lying to them. They know they're in danger and
that their lives and livelihoods are at risk. But they're staying

At the end of last year, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne threw a big party to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Months later, however, with both her husband and her son succumbing to drug and alcohol addictions, Sharon briefly separated from Ozzy, she tells Barbara Walters. In an interview airing Friday on ABC's ''20/20,'' Sharon says that, while waiting this spring for a rehab bed to open up for 17-year-old Jack, Ozzy fell off the wagon himself and started drinking and taking pills. ''I just said, 'You just have to stop,' and he didn't. And I said, 'Well then, I'm going.' And I packed my bags, and I left,'' she says.
The separation didn't last long. She says, ''The minute I left, the next morning, he gave up drinking. But I needed to make sure that he was on a roll. That he really meant it. And, after four days, I came back to see him. And he was trying so hard. So hard. Still is clean and sober.''
Jack tells Walters his drug problem, for which he spent two months in rehab, was more serious than he'd let on during Walters' interview with the Osbournes last year at the height of their MTV reality show's success. Talking to Walters then, Jack admitted only to the occasional puff of marijuana. In fact, he was addicted to alcohol and painkillers and even tried to commit suicide in his despondence over his mother's cancer diagnosis. ''I attempted to overdose,'' he says now. ''Take a whole bunch of pills and drink some absinthe.'' Fortunately, he did not succeed, and his mother's cancer went into remission. Sharon, 50, is apparently in good health today; her syndicated daytime talk show debuts on Sept. 15.
