Please Pass the AntsYou gotta love those ladybugs.
Ladybugs, aka ladybeetles (family Coccinellidae), are best known for devouring aphids, those pesky little critters that suck plant juices.
But have you ever seen ladybugs gobbling ants?
There's a three-way predator-prey relationship here. When aphids pierce plant stems, they leave behind honeydew excretions. Ants scurry to the honeydew and quickly alert their buddies. Soon, you'll see a long trail of ants marching toward the honeydew.
Now enter the ladybug, which is attracted--quite nicely, thank you--to both aphids and ants.
This little beetle will feast on aphids and ants much like we humans chow down on popcorn and jelly beans at a movie.
In the photos below, unsuspecting ants climbed a lavender stalk, only to meet their demise.
If you look on You Tube, you'll see a video of an apparently famished ladybug chowing down ants. The background music of Queen's "We Will Rock You" adds the finishing touch.
Want to learn more about ants? Check out professor Phil Ward's website. He's a noted myrmecologist (one who studies the taxonomy, evolution, biogeography and behavior of ants) and a professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis.
One of his former graduate students, Alex Wild, has incredible insect photography on his website, appropriately named myrmecos.net.

Following the Trail of Ants
Ant specialist Andrea Lucky, who will receive her doctorate in entomology on June 10 from UC Davis, will speak on the evolutionary history of ants on Wednesday, May 12 in 122 Briggs, UC Davis.
This is her "exit seminar" but it's doubling as part of the spring seminar series. Her talk, from 12:10 to 1 p.m., will be Webcast live. To tune in, access this site.
She researches the evolutionary history of ants in the geological complex region of Australasia, Melanesia and the islands of the Western Pacific.
"I use a combination of traditional morphological taxonomy and molecular phylogenetics to interpret how, when and where individual lineages diversified within this complex landscape," said Lucky, who maintains a research website and studies with major professor Phil Ward. "In addition to my work on the biogeography of ants, I am also involved in biodiversity assessment and conservation using ants in Papua, New Guinea."
You can watch a mini- interview of her in New Guinea on YouTube.
Lucky completed her undergraduate degree at Brown University in Providence, RI, where she majored in biology with an emphasis on ecology and evolutionary biology.
After receiving her bachelor's degree, she traveled to Ecuador as a Fulbright Fellow, where she worked with insects in the Amazon.
Lucky entered the doctorate program in the UC Davis Department of Entomology in 2004 and completed her degree in the lab of Phil Ward.
After receiving her Ph.D., she will move on to a postdoctoral scholarship at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, where she will work with Rob Dunn on a project examining geographic variation in ants and the processes they mediate.
If you miss any of the UC Davis Department of Entomology webcasts, they're archived.
These webcasts are a good resource for entomologists, would-be entomologists, and folks of the curious-sort who just want to learn more about the exciting world of science.
And, somewhere out there, there's another young entomologist who will follow in Andrea Lucky's footsteps...trailing ants.

What's Up, Cuz?
Country cousins.
Honey bees and ants belong to the same order, Hymenoptera, and occasionally you see them together.
Such was the case today in the Storer Garden, UC Davis Aboretum, as the closely related honey bees and ants foraged in the red-hot poker (Kniphofia galpinii or "Christmas cheer").
These ants? Argentine ants (Linepithema humile). "The Argentine ant is a non-native and a notorious pest," says UC Davis ant specialist Phil Ward, professor of entomology.
The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is also a non-native (it came over with the European colonists in the 1600s), but oh, what a non-native. We're so accustomed to it being a beneficial insect that we consider it a native.
Hymenoptera ("membrane wing") originated in the Triassic period, a geologic period that existed some 251 to 199 million years ago.
And today in a tiny thimble of time, they shared a red hot poker.

Jumping Jehosaphat!
If you're accustomed to seeing ants crawl, wait a minute...some can actually jump.
Ants? Jump? Like leaping lizards?
Harpegnathos saltator, aka Jerdon's jumping ant, a species found in India, can indeed jump. It can leap a distance of about 10 centimeters (about 3.9 inches). It does this to catch prey and to escape sticky situations.
Christian Peeters, director of the Laboratoire d'Ecologie, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, will talk about Jerdon's jumping ant when he discusses his research at a noon lecture on Wednesday, April 15 in 122 Briggs Hall, University of California, Davis. His topic is "Recurrent Selection Against Winged Queens in Ants, and Shifts in Life History Traits."
Ant specialist Phil Ward, professor of entomology at UC Davis and coordinator of the department's noon-hour lectures, will introduce Peeters.
This exquisite photo (below) of Jerdon's jumping ant is the work of entomologist-insect photographer Alex Wild, who received his Ph.D. from UC Davis (his major professor was Phil Ward). Wild is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois. You'll want to visit his Web sites often to view his amazing work. One site is at http://www.myrmecos.net and the other at http://www.alexanderwild.com.

Excellence in Lab, Field and Classroom
Today we salute Andrea Lucky.
To be perfectly frank, anyone who takes a class from her is a lucky person indeed.
For excellence in teaching in the lab, field and classroom, UC Davis entomology doctoral candidate Andrea Lucky has won a 2009 UC Davis Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award.
Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef will present the award--one of 12--at a ceremony on Monday, April 6 in the Buehler Alumni and Visitors' Center.
Her major professor, Phil Ward, who nominated her for the award, praised her "stellar teaching assistance" and her "exceptional commitment to science teaching and outreach in general."
Lucky, who joined the Ward lab four years ago, served as his teaching assistant in a five-week field taxonomy and ecology course last summer at the Sagehen Creek Field Station, northern Sierra Nevada. The course, Entomology 109 and also known as "Bug Boot Camp," introduces students to the diversity of California insects in natural habitats.
Lucky interacted with the students 12 to 14 hours a day, from dawn at the breakfast table to late at night in the lab, six days a week, Ward said. "Entomology 109 is a demanding course for both students and teachers, yet Andrea was unfailingly upbeat, engaging and responsive to students. She was willing to assist in the lab, the field and even the kitchen when the situation demanded."
Kitchen, too! Now, that's dedication!
"Andrea's enthusiasm for the subject and her knowledge of the subject matter are a rare combination," Ward said. "She is dedicated to encouraging student participation and attentive to individual student learning styles, and as a result she is very effective in establishing a creative, hands-on, interactive learning environment. She is notable for her ability to engage students while encouraging a high level of intellectual rigor."
Lucky uses novel, creative techniques to help students learn. She designed a freshman seminar course on "Insects and Media" and taught it for four years. The seminar uses science, and especially insects, as portrayed by modern media as the basis for discussions about the facts behind the fiction and how audiences distinguish information vs. entertainment.
A native of Chicago, Andrea Lucky grew up in Cincinnati, graduated from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and then spent two years as a Fulbright scholar studying insects in Ecuador.
We're often asked "Where are the women in science who are making a difference?" Well, one of them is right here at the University of California, Davis.
Andrea Lucky.

Soccer analysis and reconstruction is one of the most interesting challenges for wide-area video surveillance applications. Techniques and system implementation for tracking the ball and players with multiple stationary cameras are discussed. With video data captured from a football stadium, the real-world, real-time positions of the ball and players can be generated. The whole system contains a twostage workflow, i.e., single view and multi-view processing. The first stage includes categorizing of players and filtering of the ball after changing detection against an adaptive background and image-plane tracking. Occlusion reasoning and tracking-back is applied for robust ball filtering. In the multi-viewstage, multiple observations from overlapped single views are fused to refine players' positions and to estimate 3-D ball positions using geometric constraints. Experimental results on real data from long sequences are demonstrated.

Utilities Fraud
Follow each step to begin the process of clearing your name:
Organize Your Case
Keep a detailed log in a spiral notebook of all phone calls you receive or make including the name of the person you spoke with, that person's title, phone number, and what was said during the conversation. Keep loose papers in a notebook or accordion folder.
To print a form that can be used to keep track of the contacts you make, click here to display a Contract Tracking Sheets.
Contact the Utility company
Contact the utility company's fraud department and tell them you are a victim of identity theft.
- Rocky Mountain Power Fraud Department. 888-221-7070
- Questar Credit and Collections Department 801-324-3903
Request a copy of the application and any other supporting documentation. According to the FACTA, consumers are entitled to a copy of the application and business transaction records no later than 30 days from receipt of request. You will need to provide proof of positive identification, a copy of the police report and an affidavit that is acceptable to the business entity. There should be no charge for this information.
Initiate a Fraud Alert
Initiate an Initial Fraud Alert (90-day Fraud Alert) on your credit files by contacting one of the three major credit reporting agencies (CRAs). As soon as that agency processes your fraud alert, it will notify the other two agencies. All three CRAs will place fraud alerts in your credit file. You will then receive a free copy of all of the information in your file from each of the three agencies. You will also receive a notice of your rights as an identity theft victim. An Initial Fraud Alert can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name because creditors are required to call you before extending credit. An Initial Fraud Alert stays in your file for at least 90 days and can be renewed.
You can also ask for an Extended Alert (7-year Alert), which stays in your credit file for seven years. If you ask for an Extended Alert, you will have to provide a copy of an identity theft report, which is a report you have filed with a federal, state or local law enforcement agency. An Extended Alert entitles you to two additional free credit reports from each CRA in a 12-month period following the placing of the alert.
To place either of these alerts, a CRA will require you to provide appropriate proof of your identity, which may include copies of your Social Security card, driver's license, and/or utility bills. You may cancel the fraud alerts at any time.

The Fair And Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) gives all consumers the right to one free copy of their credit report each year from each of the credit reporting agencies. All three credit reporting agencies have additional information regarding identity theft and the FACTA on their web sites.
You may request that only the last four digits of your Social Security number appear on your credit report. In all communications with the credit reporting agencies, you will want to refer to the unique number assigned to your credit.
Review Your Credit Report
Order your free credit reports online at www.annualcreditreport.com Check each credit report carefully when you receive it. Look for accounts that you have not opened; charges that you have not made; inquiries that you have not initiated; and default and delinquencies that you have not caused. Check that your name, address, and Social Security number is correct on all reports. File all of the appropriate reports on this web site. Report ID Theft

Simple Standards
Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold,
All that you need, is in your soul,
And you can do this, if you try.
All that I want for you, my son,
Is to be satisfied.
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me, son,
If you can?
–Lynard Skynard
The band Lynard Skynard recorded "Simple Man" in 1973, but the song peaked in popularity in the mid- to late-1970s, and by the time I left for college in 1979, it was basically the anthem of young men searching for their identities.
I was one of those guys.
I went to college for one simple reason—to be a better man. Not just a man with an education but an educated man.
I wasn't driven to be an architect or engineer. I didn't attend college with the hope of continuing on to medical school. I was like many others: just trying to find my way with no real clear path.
But there was an expectation from my family that I was to return in four years and exemplify that the cost and time put forth was not in vain. I was supposed to have skills.
As I progressed through my first jobs, I recalled thinking the one thing I must establish was credibility. Maybe my early jobs weren't as challenging as I had hoped, but in order to be considered for the next job or the possibility of moving up, I needed to establish that I was dedicated and ready when the opportunity arose. I could be trusted.
Meat-And-Potatoes Man
I thought about the men I respected. What traits did they share? What made me want to emulate them?
I kept coming back to one answer. The men who stirred me, the ones I found myself almost imitating at times, were the ones who appeared to be under control, who maintained composure, and who didn't follow fads or trends.
They were a "man's man" and simple in their ways. They ate meat and potatoes, drank scotch or whiskey on ice if they drank at all, and wore grey suits, white shirts, and black ties.
They often gave one-word answers, but those words were never "maybe" or "kind of." They said "yes" and "no," and they meant it.
They smiled when something was funny and didn't when it wasn't. They were diffident in a way that drew other people to them because there was some mystery about them.
And, oh yeah, they were honest. It oozed from their pores.
In the 30 years since I finished my undergrad degree, I have watched young guys start their careers and evolve into who they think they are expected to be. The colorful attire, hidden tattoos, prison-reformatory haircuts, and holes where earrings once sat were like a new-world order.
Having been a "Reagan-era yuppie," I had a certain appreciation for dressing in a suit and tie for work, so when the "newbies" took the term "simple man" to an all-new informal low, and made "dressing up" consist of a polo shirt and khakis, I could only shake my head as they pushed the fashions of Falcon Crest and Dynasty out the window in exchange for Roseanne and other shows that embraced a lifestyle that seemed to ask, "Why make my bed, I'm just getting back in it in 12 hours?"
A Terrible Trend
I discovered that much of the last decade-and-a-half almost encouraged the notion of getting away with as much as one could by putting in as little as possible. I thought this mindset and trend would never end.
But alas, my friends, God does, indeed, have a sense of humor. Since the economy has turned upside down and jobs are increasingly scarce, employers can be "picky" again.

KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii, December 31st, 2013 - The coming of the New Year draws a close to 2013, even as the sunset at the end of the day signals the dawn of a new beginning.
There's nothing more romantic than a Hawaiian sunset, especially as New Year's Eve is celebrated.
Here's a look at some of the most romantic places on two of the Hawaiian Islands, and a few tips on where to find the greatest sunsets in the islands when a New Year's resolution turns into a trip to Hawaii.
Oahu- Restaurants: La Mer in the Halekulani www.halekulani.com and Michel's at The Colony Surf www.michelshawaii.com are the two most romantic places on Oahu to have dinner and watch the sun go down.
La Mer is an exquisite combination of French inspired cuisine and Hawaiian sensibility in Waikiki's most elegant hotel. Michel's has been a stalwart destination restaurant since 1962, and is located right on the beach just below Diamond Head.
Hotel Specials: Turtle Bay www.turtlebayresort.com is beautifully located on the world famous North Shore of Oahu and dominates a point of land extending out into the ocean. They are currently running five night luxury packages in their cottages and villas right on the bay starting at $999 a night.
Sunsets: There is no better place to watch the sun go down than on the beach at Waimea Bay on Oahu's north shore, famous for the Quicksilver Eddie Aikau big wave surfing competition.
The Big Island – Restaurants: The Canoe House at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel www.maunalani.com and Ulu Ocean Grill at the Four Seasons Hualalai www.fourseasons.com/hualalai/ are the most romantic places to have dinner and watch the sun go down on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Under the steady hand of Chef de Cuisine Allen Hess, the Canoe House is the most innovative resort restaurant on the island. Ulu Ocean Grill is right on the beach, featuring impeccable cuisine and the class and brilliant service one can always expect at a Four Seasons resort.
Hotel specials: Royal Kona Resort www.royalkona.com and the Sheraton Kona Resort and Spa at Keauhou Bay www.sheratonkona.com are the two best values for your vacation dollar on the Big Island. The Royal Kona Resort regularly offers ocean view rooms at around $150 a night while the Sheraton Kona averages around $180 a night.
Sunsets: Huggo's in downtown Kona and the bar at the Royal Kona Resort next door are wonderful places to watch the classic spectacular Kona sunsets. Both locations are easily accessible and popular with tourists and locals alike.
Air Fare: Round trip airfare from Washington DC to Kona is around $1000 from Washington DC and around $700 from the West Coast. Airfare to Honolulu is running about $750 from Washington and $450 from the West Coast.
Alaska Airlines, surprisingly, has more flights to Hawaii than any other airline. Hawaiian Airlines generally flies to Honolulu and then you must transfer to their inter-island flights to Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. Both partner with other airlines for routes they do not serve directly.
Go Airlines www.iflygo.com is a low cost inter-island carrier based out of Honolulu and highly competitive. Their sister airline, Mokulele, offers service to Lanai, Molokai and Hana.
Of course, the major airlines, United, American and Delta all offer service to Honolulu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island.
Winter fares are generally lower until the end of May. Summer fares to Hawaii spike in June and then are lower again in September.

Hey guys,
I recently bought a medical oxygen tank at an auction for use in a wort aeration system. Then comes to find out that I have to have a prescription to get it filled or exchanged. So im thinking that it might not be worth the effort to find someone to give me the rx for it. So dont know if anybody else could use it or not. So if anybody would like to buy it im asking $15 or also willing to trade for beer or brewing stuff. So if anybody is intrested let me know. Thanks.
Why do you need a prescription? Who told you that? I thought oxygen was a common welding supply thing?
to get medical oxygen from a reputable source you need a script.
industrial oxygen is the same thing. get it filled with that
On Tap:warrior apa
On Tap: crystal light
On Tap:BM's centenial blonde
"Just remember that the real enemy here are those wine drinking pussies."-BierMuncher
From what the guy at airgas told me they only do exchanges with medical oxygen tanks. I cant understand why you need a script for oxygen? But he said it was an FDA thing so I don't think there is much getting around it.
airgas? where's that at?
what about BOC gas by superbowl & staples?
sounds like you might get the same answer from them but I suppose it's worth a try.
(what do I know about gas though? I'm a bottling, carboy shaking guy)
edit: yeah, ask 'em for industrial gas
it is an FDA thing, and there is no getting around it. its worth a try to stop in somewhere else. even if you can find a welding supply shop. possibly a smaller scale one they should be able to fill it with industrial o2 for you
if not, get rid of it, its not worth the trouble
The tank probably says it can be filled with medical Oxygen only.
Local homebrew club have a doctor as a member?
Well I checked the tank and I can't find anything that states anything about medical use but the valve at the top is different then an industrial tank would have. And the one place told me that they only did exchanges but I may give another place a call today. I dont know if my doctor would give me a script for o2 or not. My only other choice is to swap it with some old lady when she's not looking. Just kidding, not gonna get that low.
I've been waiting for my medical tank to run out of gas to see if I'm going to have the same problem or not. I wouldn't be opposed to changing out the valve if that made the difference although I do like the fine tuning of a med regulator.

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Aug 14 2013
Out of all the EZ after-parties, Cielo's will be by far the most intimate—which might be the way to go after spending all day with 25,000 other ravers. Tonight's shindig features the deejaying talents of Chicago's Curtis "Cajmere" Jones (the veteran also known as Green Velvet), who'll be playing his jacking deepness over the club's none-better sound system.

Between the 'input' and the 'output' is a machine that we are blissfully unable or unwilling to understand. Hence, the possibility that clicking "send" might stop a stoning in Iran." This is very good.

The swan flies high overhead on summer nights, its body and wings immersed in the subtle glow of the Milky Way. And it's easy to pick out because the pattern formed by its brightest stars really does look like a graceful bird -- and because the star at its tail is one of the brightest in the night sky.
Cygnus is high in the east at nightfall and soars directly overhead later on.
Three bright stars outline the swan's body. From nose to tail, they're Albireo, Sadr, and Deneb.
Albireo is actually a double star -- one of the most popular among regular skywatchers. Through a telescope, one of the stars looks blue, while the other is golden. The two stars are so far apart that they may or may not be gravitationally bound to each other. They may just happen to line up in the same direction in the sky.
Sadr forms the intersection of the body and wings. It's a supergiant -- a star that's far larger and more massive than the Sun, and tens of thousands of times brighter. Dense clouds of gas and dust absorb some of the star's light, cutting its brightness in our sky by about half.
Deneb is a supergiant, too. In fact, it may be a near-twin to Sadr. It's a little brighter and thousands of degrees hotter. Most important, it's probably a little more massive. The difference means that while Sadr's fate is a little uncertain, Deneb's is probably set: It will blast itself to bits as a supernova.
We'll have more about Deneb tomorrow.

The Tata Motors share touched an all-time high of Rs 364.7 on Friday, before ending the session at Rs 349.75, up 1.4%, or Rs 4.95. The stock�s recent momentum was further escalated as it was upgraded by another brokerage house, Deutsche Bank.
Tata Motors is also one of the top-10 bluechip gainers of the year, having rallied nearly 12% over the period. Some other auto majors, including Maruti Suzuki India,
Bajaj Auto and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, have lost 1% to 7% during the year so far.
The strong performance of the Tata Motors stock has cushioned the sectoral index, comprising auto companies, as Tata Motors constitutes nearly 32.3% of the index. The BSE auto index has gained 0.4% year-to-date even as other interest rate-sensitive sectors like BSE Bankex and Realty indices lost 20-40% in the period.
While the outlook for the domestic auto market remains shaky, Tata Motors� global sales have helped provide a buffer for the company�s earnings and the stock. Although analysts acknowledge the negative effect of economic slowdown on the company�s domestic sales, they remain upbeat on its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business. Almost 82% of analysts have a buy rating on the stock as per a compilation by Bloomberg. Tata Motors also features as one of the top picks of large brokerages, including Goldman Sachs and CLSA.
On Friday, Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to �buy�, citing the positive global macro environment and the strong response to company�s recent launches in JLR segment. The brokerage house also raised its target price for the stock to R400 from R275.
In late August, Barclays upgraded Tata Motors to �overweight� on expectations that JLR would maintain its lead on volume growth compared to peers like BMW and Audi due to its revamped product portfolio. �While Tata Motors� domestic business remains under stress due to macro concerns, we believe an improved performance from JLR should offset any drag from standalone operations,� said the brokerage in a research note.
In fiscal 2012-13, nearly 76% of the consolidated revenue of Tata Motors came from operations outside of India. It witnessed 24% growth in revenue from China compared to 18% in the previous year on the back of strong sales JLR sales in the Chinese market. The division was responsible for nearly 88% of the company�s operating profit in the fiscal.
While experts remain upbeat about the prospects of the JLR business, some have started questioning whether there is much upside left for the stock, given a sharp rally of about 27% in the last three months.
Recently, Kotak Institutional Equities downgraded the stock to �add� from �buy�, citing fair valuation of the stock. The brokerage, which also raised its target price on the stock from R355 to R375, however, acknowledged that JLR�s operating profit is likely to benefit from a richer product mix and positive operating leverage.

- Always work from written objectives.
- Write your objective from general to smallest possible bites, as
each days objective.
- If possible set-up to have a small test(~10 minutes) everyday for
those small bites(sum of which should count for 1/3 of
the grades - this ensures that they keep up with the given
work and come to class)and discuss the answer in the class.
Use it as a teaching tool (If you want I can elaborate on this
- Four hourly tests - sum of which counts for 1/3 of the grades.
- One final test - 1/3 of the grade
- Never surprise the student - they will surprise you. That is, never
put a question in the test - type of which they have not seen. Do not
try to prove your superior talent during the test. Tests should be a
measure of what your objectives were and how well did you teach those.
- After you write a test - take the test yourself, timing yourself.
You should answer exactly how you expect the student to answer. You
should take 1/3 the time you expect the student to take (i.e. you
should finish an hourly test in ~20 minutes).
- You should have 85% of the students scoring 85% or higher (average
of five hourly tests).

Staring at the sun***Music accompaniment - http://youtu.be/2U3rY3fZ5vU ***
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside

Television is one of America's most beloved pastimes—gathering around the screen with friends and family the night "your show" is on is an American institution in and of itself. Taking advantage of the glitz and glam of the small screen is one way magazine publishers seem to be hitting home runs, yet one has to wonder about the complex behind-the-scenes relationship of running a publication that is centered on a television program and vice versa.
In this in-depth feature we'll see how seven different publications each take on unique approaches to deliver their brands into a multiplatform world, something the has proved successful for each company and shows that when TV and print collide, hard and fast rules can fall by the wayside.
Hearst: Food Network, HGTV and O, The Oprah Magazine
There haven't been many publications that have come out of the Hearst family that have been associated with television programs. For the publications that are tied to the tube—Food Network Magazine, HGTV Magazine and O, The Oprah Magazine—the decision to translate these brands onto the page did not come lightly.
"For me, it breaks down to three buckets," says John Loughlin, executive vice president and general manager for Hearst Magazines. "There's an assessment to see if there is a passionate consumer audience that is highly engaged and if there's an audience of scale. Magazines with 300,000 units of circulation aren't optimal for us—we're really looking for 700,000 at the low end and 4 million at the high end, so we need a passionate audience of scale."
Loughlin adds that the strongest magazine brands have multiple advertisers looking to reach the audience, something that is seriously considered before the publisher agrees to sign a partnership with a TV network. An analysis of the positioning within the Hearst wheelhouse is also undertaken when the company initially mulls the idea.
"Another thing we consider, and we take this very seriously, is how do we feel about our potential partner?" he says. "These projects typically take anywhere from six months to two years to gestate before a magazine pops out so you really get a sense of your partner. The long-term successes in many ways are dependent on how in-synch you are with your partner, in addition the size of the audience and the breadth of the advertising support."
Loughlin says that the magazines Hearst creates in partnership with entities like Scripps, which owns the Food Network, are never programming guides, but are publications inspired by television experiences.
"Very rarely do we explicitly copy or interpret a show onto the pages of the magazine," he says. "This is true whether it be Oprah, Food Network or HGTV. The magazines that we create in partnership out of television activity have the look, feel and essence of the television brand but in no way are they imitations of it. They brake new ground and broaden the experience for the consumer."
In the case of Food Network Magazine, editors may, for example, provide content that centers on television star Paula Deen in her personal kitchen cooking holiday appetizers, but an article won't talk about the show or cover the happenings that take place during a program segment.
"One of the reasons we've been so successful with this is because it's not a carbon copy of the television show but an interpretation of things," he says.
Food Network's ratebase will increase to 1.45 million beginning this summer, the seventh ratebase bump for the title since it launched in 2009. The most recent increase is taking effect for the January/February 2012 issue, capping at 1.4 million.
Shortly after the publication debuted it was named one of the most notable launches of 2009 and the publisher was able to triple circulation by 2010. The magazine now expects circulation for the second half of 2011 to be about 21 percent above ratebase. Single-copy sales for the second half of 2011 are projected at an increase of 15 percent over the second half of 2010. Loughlin says 33 percent of all food-related magazine sales at retail come from Food Network Magazine.
While the buzz for this title seems to be fairing well, one does have to wonder about the relationship between ratings and newsstand sales. When Oprah Winfrey's daytime talk show went off the air after 25 years there was a dip in newsstand sales, and something Hearst president David Carey attributed to uncertainty in the newsstand marketplace as a whole, according to Crain's New York.
Ratings Versus Circ
When asked how ratings affect a publication's performance, Loughlin says there isn't much connection.
"There is not a hugely tight correlation between day-to-day, week-to-week or period-to-period ratings and the circulation of the magazine," he says. "Consumers who are watching television proactively tune in on a Tuesday, might not on a Wednesday and come back to it Saturday—it's really about the consumer's discretionary time. Consumers order a magazine or pay for a magazine and that's the key differentiator, the fact that they're paying for it. It also comes once a month, and because it doesn't have the same kind of shelf life that an episode of Iron Chef or Oprah's former daily television show, studies have shown consumers come back multiple times. The reality is there isn't a tight correlation between ratings and circulation."
Loughlin says overall size of a viewing audience, instead of ratings, is really what matters.
"It's one thing to tune in once a week and say 'I like this show' but it's another thing to say I like this brand enough that I will spend $18, which is our introductory price on Food Network Magazine," he says. "We do see seasonality, however. The Food Network and the magazine do well around the holidays—no mystery there. People get excited for Halloween, get ready for Thanksgiving and prep for Christmas. We'll see stronger ratings and sales then, which I believe is more seasonal than anything else."
Partnering with a television network has its perks when it comes to promotion. HGTV Magazine generated 25,000 orders after 15-second and 30-second commercials aired on the channel. Promotional messages about publications also appear on the bottom of television programs. Additionally, the Scripps Network aired a 1-hour special called "The Making of HGTV Magazine," to promote the publication.
"This was a great way to introduce the magazine to their enormous television audience," says Loughlin. "HGTV also does a major Urban Oasis Sweepstake where they give away a home. They allowed us to partner with them in promotion—people can enter the sweepstakes and also sign up for a subscription. Utilizing what the television world would call 'stunting' is a terrific way for us to introduce a companion product that is already predisposed to the brand. We also use our websites and their website to introduce the magazine and easily allow people to subscribe to it."
So far 165,000 subscriptions have been generated from the HGTV website and email newsletters that went to both audiences. Loughlin estimates that the first issue of HGTV Magazine could sell as many as 300,000 single copies. O, The Oprah Magazine had also seen slight bumps in single copy sales when the show's host would mention an issue of the magazine, or show the cover of it on her daytime talk show.
Bonnier: Florida Travel & Life, Caribbean Travel & Life and UFC Magazines
When the focus comes to Bonnier, the reality of the TV-branded magazine shows its diversity. The company has described itself as "bullish" when it comes to this sector of its portfolio and each of its publications tied to television takes unique approaches.
Caribbean Travel & Life and Florida Travel & Life magazines are both tied to television shows on the Discovery Channel, with each emerging in the last decade. The differences that are immediately seen from the Hearst titles lie with the television programming.
"It's unique and important to know that we buy time," says Guy Britton, Director of TV and digital media for the Bonnier Travel Group. "In the Caribbean series we've had 263 individual episode airings—we've produced 8 episodes in the Caribbean and about 8 in Florida. We're doing a combination of things in terms of distribution. I created this myself and I did it to promote audience development. I was looking for a way to promote the website and I knew I needed quality video content on my website. In the travel business there wasn't good quality content out there and anything that was good was cost prohibitive. We decided then to develop something ourselves."
The Discovery Channel has no role in producing the content for television that is tied to Bonnier; instead the publisher looks to produce to the standards of the network.
"They've been very partnership oriented," says Britton. "Our relationship with the programming department has been very different than if I was going to one of the programming director. I can buy Saturday mornings or other times—it all depends on what you're doing."
Edit Tightly Integrated with Programming
While Hearst aims to reinterpret the mission of television programs into print, the case with Bonnier Travel Group is slightly different since the publisher produces the television content. Britton says that since the editorial content is focused on travel, the content from the magazine translates well to television. The editorial team actually pitches ideas for television content and helps to design the programs of the show.
"We just did a feature on Tortola a few issues ago," he says. "We went into the back roads and behind the scenes in kitchens. We did the same thing on TV—they're not different by nature, but the production of them is different. Together with the editors of the magazine we develop the shows and ideas are vetted through the editorial department. The publishing department works with sponsors to develop what they need, but editors vet everything. Our executive editor, Sarah Gabbadon, was our host for several of the episodes, so it's definitely integrated."
The shows can be "interpreted as a 30-minute commercial for the magazine," says Britton. There are commercial spots built in to promote subscriptions and the television program connects to the website which introduces viewers to the magazine.
"It links back digitally also—there's an iPad edition of each episode," he says. "With our most recent one, Aruba, we have an iPad guide available for download. In the TV show a pop up comes on screen that says, 'Download our free app on the iPad and find all these places featured in the show.'"
While Hearst's Loughlin doesn't see a connection between ratings, newsstand sales and subscriptions, Britton says a relationship does exist.
"I think there is a connection," he says. "It's hard to draw a direct correlation, but Caribbean Travel & Life has one of the best newsstand sell-throughs of any of our magazines at Bonnier. Part of that is the subject matter, but I think the television show really helps. We have a very high MMR Research audience rating and I think the TV show has had an impact on that in terms of our engagement and overall awareness of the magazine for a larger audience."
According to the most recent filings from the Audit Bureau of Circulations, Caribbean Travel & Life had a total paid and verified circulation of 151,221 for the period ending June 30, 2011, with single copies at almost 15,600.
The magazine promotes episodes of the show with e-newsletters the Friday before an episode premiers, which goes out to the list of subscribers and others. The television programs and magazines also share social media pages to leverage promotions.
"Over 50 percent of our readers surveyed say they have seen at least one of our episodes," says Britton. "There's a huge crossover between the print audience and elsewhere. Even though I might be buying an 8:30 AM timeslot on a Saturday morning, I'm telling my readers to go find it and they are and they're recording it. There's most definitely a connection. Every episode also has a reader poll—if we do a 'Best of Puerto Rico' campaign, our editors will nominate 10 categories and we'll drive traffic to the site for people to vote."
Sweepstakes are also integrated cross-platform between the magazine, TV show and websites. In this way, the publication can leverage advertisers from the print pages and strike agreements with them to advertise on television and online as well.
"We have pop-ups in the show and a dedicated 30-second commercial that talks about the sweepstakes and contest together," he says. "When someone votes in the readers poll they are entered in a sweepstakes, for example, to win a vacation to Puerto Rico and the results of the poll are published in the magazine. It's a brave new world, we've got to roll with the punches."
One Element of an Overall Content Play
UFC Magazine, which is a newly acquired Bonnier property from American Media, Inc., is not so much centered on an individual television show but on a sport that is aired on multiple networks. The UFC league just signed a 7-year contract with Fox, FX and FUEL TV to broadcast the mixed martial arts sport to fans, in addition to providing commentary and analysis programs about the event. The magazine is heavily interlinked with the happenings on television—the official UFC Facebook fan page for the sport is also the Facebook page of the magazine.
"UFC Magazine is a print product but it's part of the overall UFC content play and we're related to everything within that arena," says Seth Kelly, editor-in-chief of UFC Magazine. "For every photo shoot we're shooting b-roll behind the scenes for the tablet edition. We're also working on a UFC Magazine web show. That will be a monthly web show produced by UFC's in-house production team and those can easily be pushed to FUEL or to our tablet edition. We're promoting the on-air talent and giving them columns in the magazine."
Kelly says that the magazine will leverage the television programs to get viewers, and potential readers, to send in questions for UFC athletes via social media, with the mixed martial arts fighters responding in the pages of the magazine.
"The main thing for me is I want to get subscribers for the magazine and I want to drive subscriptions up as much as possible," he says. "I think you do that by letting people know about the product itself and showing them what they can have and that it's part of the overall experience—owning and reading UFC Magazine is another level of the UFC brand. We open all of the content possible for use of the television show and let them decide what's relevant for their audience. The more we have available, I think the more readers we'll bring in."
The editor meets with the production teams of FX and FUEL to discuss strategy going forward and UFC TV programs tease content that is from the magazine and display the cover on screen as well. Sports commentators will also promote the magazine and talk about a new issue.
"UFC is a very integrated group when it comes to strategy and marketing," says Kelly. "We're cross-promoting on pay-per-view, we're cross-promoting with television partners, on social media and on UFC.com."
Kelly could not offer statistics on the relationship between ratings and sales—Bonnier began distributing 255,000 copies of the magazine to the newsstand in December 2011.
The Veteran: National Geographic
One brand, it seems, has truly perfected the model of multiplatform magazine integration with the Internet, television and face-to-face events: The National Geographic Society.
"There's a tremendous advantage to having 24/7 air support of a branded channel," says Declan Moore, executive vice president of the National Geographic Society and president of publishing. "We've grown in leaps and bounds."
The group has two television channels in the United States that are produced in cooperation with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, and more internationally. This association has been streaming content since 2001 and the channel is currently available in 70 million homes.
"We're well placed for this three screen world that we live in," says Moore. "As we're producing content across these platforms we can create media conversions to brake through the clutter that is out there through large franchise initiatives."
In the November issue, for example, National Geographic featured the Anglo-Saxon gold discovery in Staffordshire, England. Moore says it was one of the best selling covers for the group in 2011. To fully cash-in, the franchise came armed in a multiple platform way: there was a special on the National Geographic channel the first week of November and there was an exhibition at the company's Washington, D.C. headquarters, which Moore says was one of the most successful in years. The author of the feature, Caroline Alexander, released a book on the same topic that month as well. The National Geographic website, in addition to its children's titles, were also involved in the campaign.
Bringing Content to Life
"That's an instance where we were aligning content across all of our platforms at the same time to create that kind of buzz and interest," he says. "With the great reach of the channel, it enables us to tell a 360-degree story and deliver it across the media platforms that we have. Going forward, our teams on both television and the magazine side of things have a very close working relationship between the editors and producers looking in ways to bring great stories to life and deliver them across platforms."
Moore says there is no mathematical model that shows X rating generates Y amount of sales on newsstands, but he did say there is some correlation between the two due to the degree of which cross promotion happens—the channel will display ads for the magazine and the magazine runs ads for the channel.
"It used to be if you wanted change you had to work in technology, but really if you want change you have to work in media," he says. "We have change happening every single day. Traditional business models that we've known for many years were considered successful based on how well you could execute to the business model. Now we're in this world where a lot of things are changing, a lot of business models are being disrupted and that's not just with the print model. Things are going on in the television space and online because what was happening is quickly changing with the rise to social, mobile and the tablet. Things are moving at 100 miles-per-hour, which makes for a very exciting time. What's encouraging is that we're starting to beat a path on a way forward that is reenergizing for folks that might have felt under siege in the media business, which makes me pretty optimistic about the future of the media business."

BOSTON, Mass. - A Springfield man was convicted today in federal court of failing to register as a sex offender.
ROBERT ELLISON, 48, of Springfield, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to one count of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. At today's plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that had the case proceeded to trial the Government's evidence would have proven that due to his 2000 conviction for Indecent Assault and Battery on a Child under the Age of 14, Ellison was a sex offender who was required to register and to update his registration. Between February 2007 and July 2008, Ellison traveled from Massachusetts to Colorado, where he established residence without registering as a sex offender in Colorado and without notifying Massachusetts authorities of his change in residence.
Judge Ponsor scheduled sentencing for July 15, 2011. ELLISON faces up to 10 years imprisonment, to be followed by up to a lifetime of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and John Gibbons, U.S. Marshal for the District of Massachusetts made the announcement today. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alex J. Grant of Ortiz's Springfield Branch Unit.

...to buy an optical cable
[staring at uber-expensive cables]
Me - "Do you have any sensible priced optical leads?"
[rep points to shelf behind me that I spent 10mins looking at without seeing]
Me - "Thank god for that, the prices of those other cables where scaring me!"
Rep - "They are shielded so they don't get interference"

hehehe brilliant
it's the solar rays I tell you, THE SOLAR RAYS!!!!!
I ordered a SD card on line with PC world. I walked into the store to collect it. Then walked over to the SD cards to almost faint at the prices they offered. I only ordered it the night before so they are in the store somewhere, most possibly not on display.
Here in Brum, I buy CD envelopes from Rymans for £4 for 50. Last weekend I popped in to get some and they had sold out, so I though I'd try WH Smiths. £10 for 50. I didn't bother.
hmm I think the point of the post, was more that they had shielded optical cables (completely unnecessary)
Needed to buy a fuse the other day so went to halfords - £5 for 2!! Ebay - £1.35 for 10
No wonder the high street is dying!
The whole business of consumer grade products revolves around preying on those who don't know any better so they buy kit with useless or unnecessary features. Eventually it becomes normal to pay an absurd amount for a headset or cable.
Heh, like when they try to sell you 'high-end' HDMI cables
Perhaps the ends were gold plated for extra audio fidelity !!
A huge chunk of the world of hi-fi exists just to falsify the "you get what you pay for" meme. I had a guy in Richer Sounds try to persuade me that even his mum could tell the difference between his £120 HDMI cable and a £5 one. Presumably the bits were a just a bit more 1 & 0 as they emerged...
as to pc worlds pricing never buy anything straight in store order if online (even if you do it on your phone while there) then go and pick it up its much cheaper
Twonk in Richer Sounds tried to tell me the sound on a CD player would be better because it had fewer front panel controls. No, I didn't bite my tongue!
For REAL snake-oil, try Russ Andrews £80 for an IEC lead? That'll do nicely!
I want to know what you said to him when he came out with that dribble?
Still I'll keep my curtains closed for optimal audio fedility
Edit: This of course is just an uneducated hang over from the old analogue days when gold plating and cable shielding actually did make a difference. I can see them getting away with it on HDMI leads (sounds plausable to the lay person) but optical!?! really!?!

TUCSON - High temperatures were 10 degrees above average today across SE Arizona. Tucson topped-off at 78 degrees for a daytime high.
A weak disturbance is moving to our north and a few clouds will be in our skies tonight. The mercury, however, remains mild. Lows are headed to the upper 40s by early Tuesday morning.
After a slightly cooler Wednesday, an even stronger warm-up will get underway with highs in the low 80s by Thursday and upper 80s by Saturday. Many records highs will likely fall by the end of the week and into the weekend.
