Web content management (WCM) is in the midst of an enormous shift. In days gone by, IT were the only ones with the knowledge, mandate, or frankly the passion to understand and choose the application that the enterprise used to edit and publish content.
IT must now share ownership of this duty with the people who will use the website the most. This is not a free for all; IT should focus on ensuring that users understand the constraints of the use case to the WCM choice. IT must embrace the notion that it is no longer the primary owner of the website. Marketing is taking ownership of the content delivery and website management.
The good news is that, overall, the quality of the content editing and managing capabilities of all eleven vendors in Info-Tech's WCM Vendor Landscape are very high; many of the vendors scored very high marks for their products. There was very little discrimination between DotNetNuke, CoreMedia, EPiServer, Kentico, Drupal and Joomla! in the core features of content editing and management. The key difference with these vendors was the kind of website they were best positioned to service.
The four champions – Ektron, Adobe, OpenText, and SiteCore – had solutions that would address many of the paradigm shifts in worker habits and consumer behavior. There are many drivers of these shifts: consumer devices, user savviness, and the changing ways in which people work today. For IT managers wondering how to manage their websites, none of the drivers really matter. What matters is – can the product help IT respond to this changed landscape?
Any of the WCM products in this landscape can be part of the answer. Even SharePoint, which scored low on advanced features, can be successfully used as a WCM. The onus has moved from the quality of the product to the use case. The WCM market is fragmenting based on the web experience enterprises need to deliver. For example, a new entrant to the WCM vendor landscape, CoreMedia, is exceptionally strong at multimedia delivery, but not ideally positioned for more mundane purposes.
As web content management moves from a full product to a table stakes feature of web experience management strategy, the business case will become an important aspect of choosing a vendor. Enterprises need to carefully evaluate not only the vendor's current offering, but also its roadmap, to ensure a smooth website experience for their customers.

In a recent "Your Call" post, a reader of our site oh-so-casually mentioned how she became multiply orgasmic in her forties, after a sexually unsatisfying marriage. Turns out she's not the only one.
After a rather boring sexually 13-year marriage, I have found a whole new world of sex. I love it and am too multi-orgasm blessed. I say blessed because for serveral years I was lucky enough to have one.
– Ladybug, responding to the post "Your Call: How Can I Convince Him He's the Best in Bed?"
Count me in on the multi-orgasmic tally and am in my early forties. I don't know if it's my lover or me or the combination of the us, but it's incredible. I'm finding new ways to just experience them and him. I do wish it could be the same for him though. He's so unselfish.
I have found that it all hinges on that very deep connection of love and trust being solid. When I am not connected to my lover for some emotional reason, it doesn't happen.

Cardinals fans who relish opening day, and are pleading for it to be a National holiday (I am not one of those people) will have to wait to see this year's team for the first time until next week.
Instead, fans will have to settle on watching the game on TV.
So what should we expect to see when Jhonny Cueto tosses the first pitch towards the plate and the patiently waiting Matt Carpenter?
Here are a couple of ideas of what to expect (and not expect) on Opening Day in Cincinnati.
- There will be plenty of boos for Yadier Molina. Reds fans have not forgotten the episode from a couple of years ago, just as Cardinals fans have not forgotten when Brandon Phillips steps to the dish. Since it is opening day, and the Reds will actually have a full house, expect the boos to be a bit louder than normal.
- Molina will have his first square-off with Reds' speedster Billy Hamilton, assuming Hamilton can actually get on base. In all actuality, I am one that thinks Hamilton is an unbelievable weapon and watching the rivalry between Molina and Hamilton grow could be fun for years to come.
- Peter Bourjos will make some sort of unbelievable play. General manager John Mozeliak brought in the speedster for his glove and Bourjos will put it on display early in support of the GM's decision to trade away 2011 World Series MVP David Freese. That is of course, if Bourjos starts. Jon Jay actually has owned Cueto in his career, hitting .476 with three home runs and seven RBIs in 21 career at bats.
- Wainwright is pretty aggressive on most occasions, but look for him to avoid Jay Bruce, who owns the Cards' ace. Bruce has two home runs, eight RBIs and a .393 average in 28 at bats against Wainwright.
- Look for Trevor Rosenthal and Carlos Martinez to both appear in this game, no matter the score. Both played huge roles last season, but manager Mike Matheny should want to get the first appearance out of the way for both of these extremely young pitchers.
- We will not see any mentions of Dusty Baker actually inside the stadium. The TV broadcasts will bring him up I am sure, but I bet the Reds do not. Evidently, old friend Dusty is tending to some crops and has taken up farming.
- The battle between Wainwright and Reds first baseman Joey Votto should be fun too. Votto does everything in his power to draw a walk. Meanwhile, Wainwright hardly walks anyone. Votto actually has drawn three walks off of Waino in his career, but is hitting just .148 in 27 at bats.
There are plenty of other things that could likely come up.
But there is one thing that is really important about this game and series with the Reds to start the season for the Cardinals.
It is vitally important for the Cardinals to jump on the Reds early. The Reds are already rattled by injuries and if the Cardinals can jump out to a quick lead in the division by winning this series, they may never have to worry about the Reds again this season.

Where Do We Go From Here? Game of Thrones Director on Lady Stoneheart, the most expensive GoT scene thus far, and the fight between Brienne and the Hound
"From what I know of the books, it's like, Okay, what's Lady Stoneheart really there for?
Because I think she goes around — and it's vague to me because I haven't had to direct it, so I haven't looked at this in detail — but essentially she's a reaction to the Red Wedding. Part of the reason I think people got so wound up with her coming back, I think, was because of the emotional toll of the Red Wedding, which I totally get. Like, Bring her back and have her kill some people! Joffrey's death was meant to play to that need a little bit. And also Tywin's." - Game of Thrones director Alex Graves(reblogged from wicnet)
"What made the wight attack (skeleton zombies) look so cool…was that it looked like it wasn't entirely rendered in CG. They were the skinniest stuntmen we could find in all of Europe, wearing green suits with skeletal applications on top and a lot of motion-control tracking dots. Even when it was done, they were squeezed to be even thinner. It …involved stunt actors repeating takes with exacting movement, choreography with the actors over and over again. It was really involved. The filming of that attack was five days. Every single take and angle had to be shot three times. It's a real methodical process…a very long process."
Game of Thrones Season 4: Episode #10 Clip – Arya Meets Brienne Recap VIDEO (HBO)
"You had to create the fight between Brienne and the Hound you had from scratch. What was that like?
The fight is all about Arya. The Hound in some ways loves Arya, and Brienne has dedicated her life to taking care of Arya. They meet, and by God, they both want her…As for what I wanted from the fight, I liked the idea of starting with two serious warriors and having it just turn into a freaking street fight. I remember telling Gwyn [who plays Brienne], "Now stop right there, look him in the eye, and spit the ear out." She was like, "Yes! I love this." I mean, to have the Hound kicking Brienne in the balls, that was all the choreographer and such a great idea."

And so we close Season 4 of Game Of Thrones, the HBO series that has now surpassedThe Sopranos as the most talked-about-around-the-water-cooler-and the-internet-series in HBO's history.
Though I've read the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, I don't get butt hurt when Game Of Thrones show runners David Benioff and DB Weiss deviate from the book series as they adapt it for premium cable television. And in season 4, their "deviation" came into play fully as it must for the series to continue in a satisfying way.
As this season closed, I was perfectly satisfied how Ygritte's death was changed a bit so Jon Snow could bid her a proper farewell and I thought the wight fight scene as Bran and Co. approached the home of the Three-eyed Raven was awesome, even if poor Jojen got stabbed, throat-slit and hit by a fireball before he could himself change into a wight. I did and do not care a whit that Lady Stoneheart (the former Lady Catelyn Stark) did not come back from a too-long death and exact revenge on a few not-really-important characters. I assumed they would not use Lady Stoneheart since Michelle Fairley (Catelyn) was given a grand send-off and the actress is quite busy now with acting gigs where one can actually recognize her (you wouldn't have been able to very easily due to her bloated, decomposed appearance if they'd gone with the character from the book). Finally, I dug that Brienne actually spoke to a Stark girl(!) even though by naming Jaime Lannister as the giver of her Valerian steel sword Oathkeeper, she inadvertently blew any chance whatsoever for Arya (or the Hound) to trust her.
The battle between Brienne of Tarth and Sandor Clegane was awesomely breathtaking (I was afraid to exhale) as they went from traditional sword fighting in which Brienne was on the defensive, to a street-style fight in which she bit off his ear and hit him with a rock after he nearly punched her face in and crotch-kicked her–hard.
As Pod watched the fight, Arya hid, and by the time The Hound found himself at the bottom of a cliff after a long tumble down, bloodied and with a bone jutting from his broken leg, Arya was nowhere to be found. After Brienne and Pod went in the wrong direction looking for her, she assessed the Hound's state and determined there was no saving him nor would there be mercy shown to him. She took his bag of silver and strode away with him bellowing at her to come back and kill him.
The tension mounted North of The Wall as an unarmed Jon Snow strode into the Wilding camp and asked to treat with Mance Rayder. Though genial on the surface, Mance caught Jon stealing a glance at a nearby knife and called him out for attempting to murder him, which was exactly Jon's intention. At that moment, Stannis Baratheon and his sell-sword army rode in, dispatching many Wildings before Mance had a moment to say "uncle". Stannis, surprised to see Ned Stark's son wearing the Black in a Wilding camp, asked for his opinion of how to proceed. Snow replied that Ned Stark would have taken Mance prisoner and questioned him.
Meanwhile in Meereen, Daenerys took audience with a goat herder who brought with him a sack with the burnt bones of his three-year-old girl. Drogon had been missing for three days but the herder's description was enough that Dany collared and chained both his brothers in the bowels of the pyramid as they beseeched her to release them.
Much like the books, Jaime sprung his brother Tyrion from his cell, instructing him to take a back passage and meet Varys, who would facilitate completing the escape plan.
However, as in the books, Tyrion chose to pay a visit to his former quarters, those of The Hand of the King, where his mind was bent at the sight of his former lover, Shae, who betrayed him at his trial, now in bed awaiting the return of her 'lion", Tywin Lannister, who was in the privy. Shae attempted to stab Tyrion with a nearby fruit knife but he overcame her and strangled her by twisting the gold chain necklace around her throat that had been a gift from him.
Tyrion then gathered himself up off the floor, plucked Joffery's crossbow off the wall, and walked straight to and into the the privy where Tywin sat. After a short conversation, much like many they have had when Tyrion did not have a weapon pointed at Tywin, in line with his thoughtless, heartless character, Tywin casually referred to as a Shae a whore. Warned by Tyrion to not utter the word again, Tywin did just that, which earned him a shaft in the gut and a second one in the heart. A stunned Tyrion then met Varys who hid him in a shipping container and accompanied him on a ship to who-knows-where.
Meanwhile, Arya made it to the Saltpans where she requested a ride North. No, the captain replied, there is war in the North, he was returning home to Bravvos. Upon hearing this, Arya gave the captain the coin that Jaquen H'ghor had given her uttering, "Valar morghulis," to which the stunned captain replied "Valar doheaeris." Arya was on her way to Bravvos.

A City of Chula Vista program aimed at holding lenders responsible for the condition of abandoned, financially distressed homes is one of the Top 50 contenders for a prestigious Harvard Kennedy School award. More than 600 applicants entered the competition for the Innovations in American Government Awards. Chula VistaÆs program placed in the Top 50 and will move onto the next round of competition.Ā Six Innovations in American Government Award winners will be announced in September.
Chula VistaÆs Residential Abandoned Property Program, which has become a model for cities across the nation, is changing how the lending industry does business.Ā ItÆs also protecting Chula Vista neighborhoods from blight.Ā In a news release announcing the Top 50, the Harvard Kennedy SchoolÆs Ash Institute described the program this way:
ōChula VistaÆs Residential Abandoned Property Program addressed the adverse
conditions and blight caused by vacant, abandoned and financially distressed Āresidential properties by affirmatively placing responsibility for security and
maintenance on mortgage holders.ö
In Chula Vista, vacant foreclosed properties must be registered with the city. The names of the lender and the person responsible for maintaining the property must also be provided. If properties are not
registered or maintained, violators are fined $100 to $500 a day. If they donÆt pay, the City places a lien on the property.
The program, adopted by the City Council in 2007, is precedent setting. City Code Enforcement Manager Doug Leeper, who created the program, has been contacted by more than 350 cities looking for help in crafting new legislation to deal with the fallout of homes abandoned during the nationÆs foreclosure crisis.
Top 50 programs, which can be viewed at www.ashinstitute.harvard.edu, include 21 cities and towns, seven counties, one school district, 11 states, eight federal agencies, one tribal government and one regional authority. The Innovations in Amercian Government Awards was created by the Ford Foundation in 1985 and is considered a significant force in attempting to restore public trust in government by promoting public sector creativity and excellence.

IL Legislature Today Approves possible IDOC Early Release Program, SB 2621, and Sentence Credits!
Posted by parchangelo on May 31, 2012
It's official! As anticipated, the IL House has now passed Senate Bill 2621, by a vote of 68 -50, authorizing the Department of Corrections to issue sentence credits which can lead to the early release for inmates eligible under the terms of the bill. The bill will now head to Governor Pat Quinn for possible signature. Quinn has 60 days to either sign it or indicate his opposition to it. While this is great news for all incarcerated in the overcrowded IL state prisons, the bill still needs Quinn's approval and then to be implememented. It is unknown right now if Quinn will sign the bill into law; he has not indicated past support for the bill or any inclination that he will work to implement any form of early release. If signed the law will head to Rules and Regulations for work before IDOC changes are begun. As we have said before, even in the most optimistic scenario, readers should not look for any sentence shortening to begin till after the November 2012 elections and possibly even some time in 2013. Still, this is wonderful and long anticipated news! Congradulations to everyone who has worked so hard for so long to try to reinstate some form or early release for IL inmates!
Here is the link to the whole piece of SB 2621`legislation. Readers will have to scrutinize it carefully to determine just who is eligible for what.
Bill Synopis:
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Changes the references to "good conduct credit" and "early release" on felony sentences to "sentence credit", and the references to "good conduct for meritorious service" to "sentence credit for good conduct". Provides that the Department of Corrections shall provide annual reports to the Governor and General Assembly on award, amount, holding offenses, and revocation of sentence credit for good conduct. Provides that the rules and regulations for sentence credit shall provide that the sentence credit accumulated and retained by an inmate during specific periods of time in which the inmate is engaged full-time in behavior modification programs or life skills courses and satisfactorily completes the assigned program as determined by the standards of the Department of Corrections shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.50 for program participation. Provides that the rules and regulations shall also provide that sentence credit, subject to the same offense limits and multiplier, may be provided to an inmate who was held in pre-trial detention prior to his or her current commitment to the Department of Corrections and successfully completed a full-time 60 day or longer substance abuse program, educational program, behavior modification program, or life skills course provided by a county department of corrections or county jail. Requires the county program credit to be calculated at sentencing and included in the sentencing order. Deletes prohibition on an inmate receiving additional sentence credit for time spent in an educational or training program if the inmate previously served more than one prior sentence for a felony in an adult correctional facility. Provides that the Department may also award 60 days of sentence credit to any committed person who passed the high school level Test of General Educational Development (GED) while he or she was held in pre-trial detention prior to the current commitment to the Department of Corrections. Provides that the Department's rules and regulations for revoking sentence credit, includes revocation of sentence credit for good conduct. Effective upon becoming law.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 4
Provides that eligible inmates for an award of sentence credit for specific instances of good conduct may be selected to receive the credit at the Director's or his or her designee's sole discretion. Provides that consideration may be based on, but not limited to, any available risk-assessment analysis on the inmate, any history of conviction for violent crimes as defined by the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act, facts and circumstances of the inmate's holding offense or offenses, and the potential for rehabilitation. Restores language that no inmate shall be eligible for the additional good conduct credit in which the inmate is engaged full-time in substance abuse programs, correctional industry assignments, educational programs, behavior modification programs, life skills courses, or re-entry planning who (i) has previously received increased good conduct credit for that participation and has subsequently been convicted of a felony, or (ii) has previously served more than one prior sentence of imprisonment for a felony in an adult correctional facility.

My son was incarcerated for driving on a revoked license. He received three yrs serving over a yr already. Eligible for parole in october 2012. I can't brlieve you get more time driving while people kill someone and get a slap on the wrist. Not fair. All he tried to do was thr right thing. He tried everything to get his licence back. Money, classes, fines. He lost his license 12 yrs ago. When is enough enough??

As I see it Mr. Rays comments are not eertinly correct either. ICC IS housing "max" offenders. These "max" offenders DO have access to the minimum and medium security inmates not only when they are coming and going to "chow" but at other times also.In a statement from IDOC they say they are "dispersing" gang members amongst other inmates in an effort to quell the violence. Now THAT is a ridiculous way to "prevent" violence. That's like throwing Hannibal Lector in with Little BoPeep and expecting him to suddenly become "un-violent" I, too, am asking as a concerned citizen, Why is ICC exposing minimum and medium security inmates to those who are "max" or should obviously be classified "max" because of their violent actions?This whole thing reeks of rationalization.If it were their loved one who was continually being punished for the actions of others as ICC is doing to them, would they keep hiding their heads in the sand?We are sick of hearing about ICC's ridiculous rules and cover ups. For heavens sake, get the GANGS under control and stop punishing those who are just trying to survive in that hell hole.

Jeff Domansky's insight:
Here's a little fun reading and distraction for your weekend.
Basically, content marketing is the art of communicating with your customers and prospects without selling. It is non-interruption marketing. Instead of pitching your products or services, you are delivering information that makes your buyer more intelligent. The essence of this content strategy is the belief that if we, as businesses, deliver consistent, ongoing valuable information to buyers, they ultimately reward us with their business and loyalty. Nowadays people also look for the facts and useful information about the products and services that they find interesting instead of ads.

There's significant momentum for publishers toward increasing the production of video content, on account of both the strength of video as a medium for storytelling and high video CPMs as advertisers begin to move their TV spends online (see the Chicago Tribune's coverage for one example). An increase in video content across the board, of course, means that it's all the more important that we have a sense of which parts of our audience we can hope to reach with video. To that end, below is a brief survey of the state of online audiences and their consumption of video.

Forrester scored companies according to various factors, including the appeal of their website content and use of video. The companies had the potential to score a perfect 30, or obtain a passing score of 20 or above. Only four companies successfully passed Forrester's test; the average score was 12.8. Forrester did not reveal the names of the four companies that passed its test.
"The biggest problem is that the majority of content talks about the company, what its products and services do and how many awards they've won, but doesn't speak to the issues their prospective buyers are trying to solve," said Laura Ramos, Forrester analyst, according to Ad Age.
Telling stories, writing in narrative and shooting video were identified as key ways that companies can help their messages stand out among the rest....

A new report published by Forrester Research shows that a majority of B2B websites have failed to engage users with content in 2014. It's time for marketers to rethink and refocus their content marketing.

The advertising optimisation platform analysed individual transaction data covering over $US130 billion of annual sales across more than 3000 online retailers and travel advertisers, and discovered that across its extensive network mobile now accounts for almost 30 per cent of ecommerce transactions.
The company predicts that it will reach 50 per cent in the US in the near term....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
The move to mobile is relentless and marketers need to grab hold of it.

It can't all be perfect: the worst of content marketing in 2014 stuck to old frameworks at best, and furthered harmful stereotypes or outright offended at worst. It was a particularly rough year for some pretty major brands, especially on the social media front.

The Mode Playbook is the start of our effort to find out. Each Playbook report includes a SQL query and a visualization. They're built on top of an example users table and event stream—a data structure that's common in many companies. Because users can represent customers, accounts, or users, and events can be logins, purchases, clicks, screen views, or any combination of actions, each Playbook is designed to be flexible enough to fit many different businesses and products. If you have a SQL database with these two concepts, you can make a few simple changes to the reports we provide and have access to the same set of analytical tools we've built over the last year.

We all love a bit of online shopping but what goes through our head before we click to buy items over the web?
We have done some research in the form of an infographic, which reveals some fascinating insights into the psychology of the online consumer.
A massive 85% of people said they read online reviews before making a purchase and 1/3 of shoppers admitted buying an item after being influenced by a video. The research also looks into why we abandon sales at the checkout, which is predominantly down to hidden charges and having to register before buying.
Check out our infographic below for the full insight into the mind of the online shopper....

When we shop online we make sub-conscious decisions when we are buying items but what goes through our head before we click the purchase button?

The most overlooked truth in marketing is that problems are the origin of
Once one adopts the perspective that problems are the foundation of consumer choice, it becomes clear that studying problems is the best way to anticipate purchases.
...Essentially, if consumers' entry into the marketplace begins with problem recognition, then knowing the problems consumers want to solve can help predict consumption based on actual consumer needs. Moreover, knowing the nature of consumers' problems can help marketers and brand managers better target consumers while they are contemplating solutions and seeking information for future purchases....

Every year people proclaim the death of something or other in marketing -- and the death of the infographic doesn't escape conversation. It's probably because while more people have caught on to the power of infographics for communications or marketing initiatives, not all of them are doing it well -- so it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.
These 15, however, managed to stand out. My criteria here were not scientific. I looked for infographics that I simply could not stop reading til the very end -- or in the case of the interactive ones in the latter half of this post, the ones I couldn't stop exploring. Enjoy perusing the best of what 2014's infographics had to offer, ranked in no particular order (except for #1 -- I love #1)....

There's no better way of learning Storyist 2.0 than by using the Getting Started Document, which is a manuscript describing the details of many features of the software.
The Storyist user interface is quite easy to understand. Icons at the top of the page provide quick links to story elements, while the items at the left list the actual documents written.
Comments are a great way to add virtual sticky notes to your manuscript. When you're done typing, all that remains is a small icon. Click on it to view the comment.
One thing that is new to version 2.0 is the ability to see a split view. Here is a blank title page template on the left, while I have a scary character pinned to my cork board at the right.
For a specific style, you're not forced to stay with the degaults and can add your own typeface, size, and color.
If you forget to save your document, Storyist won't. You can set your autosave preferences here.
At the end of a paragraph, Storyist can automatically display a popup menu showing available styles.
And for the scriptwriters in the crowd, Storyist can automatically show completions for many of your script elements
Importing and exporting text is done through a plugin process. Storyist makes their import / export API available to developers who wish to add support.

Apps for the holidays
This holiday season promises to see a lot of iPad, iPhone, and Android cheer being spread by loved ones. But what apps should you put on your phone once you receive it?
From the power user to the trendy hipster, apps enhance your smartphone experience and unlock your phone's potential. Here are a few apps that can help make your smartphone even smarter. Just search for them on your App Store or Market.
For the professional: ProOnGo
Turn your smartphone into an everyday business tool that makes expense documentation easy and accurate. Take a picture of your receipt, and the program stores a photo copy of the receipt (IRS approved) for you. Then, it automatically reads the necessary information, and creates a comprehensive expense report you can import into Quickbooks, Quicken or Excel. Real-time expense reporting saves you, your accountant and your employees hours of precious time.
For the kids: iQuarium
iQuarium is marketed as more of a "responsibility" than a game. Upon download, you are the owner of a frisky little fish that lives on your smartphone. Your fish can thrive or suffer within its environment based on your attentiveness. Just like with any pet, playing with the fish by swiping/tapping your finger keeps it happy and healthy. You can feed it daily, which will help it grow. However, failure to do so for periods of four to six days will cause it to get sick and eventually die. The fish is lifelike and the tank graphics are photo-realistic. The entire app interface is excellent.
Great time wasters: Ball Bounce
This is pretty self-explanatory, but Ball Bounce is a great way to see the capabilities of your smartphone. It offers very realistic physics and graphics when spinning or bouncing. You can even take a picture of someone and place it directly on a ball, which could be a fun stress reliever if you can sneak a picture of a boss or co-worker.

After months of talking about their highly anticipated 40th anniversary tour, The Eagles are finally doing it!
Upon hearing that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Eagles are heading to the "Big Easy," for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, thoughts of an early spring flyaway to New Orleans came to mind.
On October 11th we get a look inside arguably the greatest American rock-and roll band, The Eagles as they prepare for their 40th anniversary.
Since starting out four decades ago, the Eagles have notched six number one albums, six Grammys, five number one singles, and sold more than 120 million albums. How do you celebrate your 40th anniversary after enjoying so much success?
According to Don Henley, it might be a good time to go on tour. Or, you know, just quit.
Joe Walsh, Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit hanging together at the Great Wall in China after they performed a 12-city Asian tour that included stops in Taipei, Taiwan, Hong Kong,and Seoul, Korea, where they had never performed before.
Between his solo work and his career with the Eagles, Don Henley is the proud owner of eight Grammys, but now he's about to get another honor from the Recording Academy. On April 13th, Henley will tra
Fun Fact: Supposedly, this song originated from an electric jam session between Glenn Frey and Bob Seger who would visit Frey's home in Los Angeles whenever he was in town on tour.
Don Henley is going back to his Country roots. He's spending a lot of time in Nashville these days, with producer Stan Lynch, former drummer for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. The album is reported to be country classics, with several big country stars joining in on the project, although no one is giving up names.
Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh is planning to release his first solo album since 1992's Songs for a Dying Planet. The still untitled album is due out somtime in 2011, maybe April or May according to Joe.

Anthony David is a Grammy nominated Neo Soul singer/songwriter out of Atlanta GA. Raised in Savannah, Anthony moved to Atlanta after a short stint in the US Army, and began pursuing his career in music. Immediately upon arriving, Anthony met India Arie, and began penning songs and performing locally, gaining a large local following. David wrote Part of my life, on Arie's grammy award winning album Acoustic Soul, as well as producing tunes on her follow up albums, and toured with her as a backing vocalist. Shortly after, he joined friends Cufi and Cosmo to form the funk/rap outfit, El Pus, and participated in the recording of their Virgin records debut, Hoodlum Rock.
Embarking on a solo career in 2004, Anthony signed to indie label Brash Music, and released two albums 3 Chords & The Truth, and The Red Clay Chronicles . Via licensing deals with Dome records in Europe, and in Village Again Records Japan, David toured internationally and gained critical acclaim throughout. Universal Records came calling in 2008, and released a compilation of the two indie records, titling the album Acey Duecy. The first single, Words, climbed up the charts and eventually garnered a Grammy nomination, and gaining even more fans. David is currently touring, and had been working on his album, entitled, As Above, So Below. The current single 4evermore featuring Algebra, and Phonte, shows that Anthony continues to deliver the feel good soul that he has become known for, and is a talent that is here to stay.

I tried to search this with little luck, so pardon my silly question. Does taking (additional, beyond what's in food and protien powders) BCAA make a difference?
And if so, should I add them to my diet when I'm bulking (now) or dieting (come Jan)?
Or is it not really necessary.
I currently supplement with whey protien for pwo and NO-explode prior to working out, along with glucosomine and a multi.

Day 1 of the mesh conference, and
day 3 of my conference sprint. (Barcamp was last weekend.) I'm running on a sustained sugar high and very little sleep, but it's been _so_ totally worth it.
I promise more detailed stories soon, but just in case you're a mesh
participant dropping by… Hi! You can check out my bookmarks to get an idea of what I'm interested in. =)
On Technorati: meshconference, mesh06, mesh, web2.0
I'm also on LinkedIn and 43people. Let's connect, share, inspire… =)
Random Japanese sentence: ã†ã¡ã®猫ã¯å°所ã«ã"ã¾ã™。 Our cat is in the kitchen.
Volunteering was absolutely the best thing I could've done. Here's most of the story:
I had ignored my Web 2.0 blog feeds for so long that by the time I finally heard about mesh (and I think even that was through Quinn, who learned about it from Richard, who lives in Vancouver); anyway, by the time I heard about it, all of the student-priced tickets were sold out. Considering that student rate was $25 and full conference price was $350… well…
I sent a message to the first e-mail address I could find – Stuart's –
essentially volunteering to mop the floor or do other chores in order
to get into mesh. I heard no response. So much for Plan A. S'okay, I
had plenty of backup plans.
Plan B: Convince the company I'm an intern for that it would be
totally in line with their business and it would create value for
them. They were convinced of the merit, but didn't want to set
Plan C: Try to get sponsor passes. We eventually tracked down the
person in charge of the Mesh sponsorship, but unfortunately she was
all out of passes.
Plan D: Convince my research lab to spring for it. Mark Chignell
agreed, mock-groaning about the weight on his pocket.
Right after I registered, I got e-mail from Mark Evans asking if I
wanted to volunteer. I had a feeling that volunteering was a very good
idea. So I did, and I loved every minute of it. =)
On Technorati: meshconference, mesh06, mesh, web2.0
I'm a paid registrant at Mesh today, but I'm volunteering at the registration desk because it's fun greeting people and making them feel welcome. Late registrants trickle in. Most of them are speakers or sponsors, but occasionally we get people I can actually help. =)
Not too many people are here yet. The combination of a riotous
afterparty at The Drake and the dull gray of a rainy morning must've
convinced most people to stay in bed. Note to self: if I'm ever going
to give a keynote address (hah!), I should make sure it's not on the
second day, or at least make sure it's the second keynote of the
day… <laugh>
I really, really want to attend the keynote conversation on venture
capital and Web 2.0. I'm interested in how venture capital can help
tiny little Web 2.0 companies, and—also important—what we can do
without venture capital. This is important to me because the
Philippines doesn't have a strong venture capital base yet, so any
ideas on how to bootstrap cool Web 2.0 companies would be totally
So I'm going to go find someone to cover for me… =) Whee!

Stuart MacDonald talks with Steve Rubel of Edelman and
Micropersuasion.com. I slipped into the session just in time to hear a
few of the questions. Here's what I've heard:
Q: I have an issue with your take on character blogs. Sorry, but you're portraying character blogs as a negative thing, but you're endorsing feeding branded messaging to bloggers to put out in the world. How is that different?
It's very different. In the Walmart example, here is a resource for you, you can do whatever you want with it. A character blog is a controlled message. It puts up a big shield between you and your audience. It says to me as the consumer that people don't want to talk to me as humans. I think character blogs – I'm sorry – they shield people from their audience.
Q: b5media. I hear where you're coming from, I really do. I think Tris' point is valid. You're creating entertainment, value for the users. I don't think that you need to say that the character is a human person. The character is the character. I think that if Darth Vader blogged, everyone would read it. (Applause.)
Let's just try it, let's see how it works. Traditional PR is in the same situation: how to demonstrate in a marketing revenue way the validity and value of PR. What I think is going to be really interesting is to see lots of people try lots of things and starting to get data. Don't be afraid to fail. This feels like 1996, generally speaking, with regards to online as this shiny thing in the sky. We're so earlydays into this that I don't think anybody has the answers. Put yourself three years down the track and looking back…
I think it's heading toward a shift. I think social networks is huge. I think that dealing with sites like YouTube… There are going to be sites like YouTube that are going to come up and be huge and then fade away, like Friendster. I think there'll be an overall shift or a new budget for creating (?..).
What's the message to agencies?
Step 1. Know where your people hang out. Know where your customers are hanging out. Where on Myspace that is, what blogs they're reading.
Step 2. Develop the infrastructure to develop a conversation. Figure out how to listen to that conversation. Everyone's gotta do that.
Step 3. Engage the audience in dialogue. Walmart example. We're engaging in dialogue with the audience.
Step 4. Empower the audience. What do they want to achieve, and how can we help them do it?
Q: I think that the uestions about character blogs show something important. They're entertaining, but they don't engage.
I'll probably get myself in more trouble if I talk about character blogs. Maybe I can jump in. I think that what's happening with this sort of thing – I talk, you listen, but call it a blog? … Make a podcast instead. I think "I talk, you listen" still happens, but the more real "I talk, you talk" is, the better.
Q: Blogging – truth in advertising?
Blogging is going to force companies to be more open and honest. The bloggers are the best fact-checking machine in the universe. It's very easy to smell something a mile away now. If it's high interest, they'll know.
Three years from now, is it going to be possible for a consumer-facing marketing organization to control the blogs?
I don't think it's ever possible.
Q: Posting various opinions on discussion forums. Gathered huge following all over the world, started charging… Public companies came to me and started asking if I could write about them. My response was that I will if I write whatever I want to write about. They don't have any control over the message. What was great was that when the mass audience started following me, they knew I was being paid and I was still being as objective as possible. Didn't skip a beat. I see blogs in the same way.
I think corporations have moved into the neighborhood, and that people are comfortable as long as it moves the community forward.
On Technorati: meshconference, mesh06, mesh, web2.0
Mathew Ingram talks with venture capitalist and blogger Dr. Paul Kedrosky.
Cute snippet from the intro:
has an approach to blogging that I consider almost pathological. He
said once that he wasn't going to blog because he was so busy, and
then within the next hour he posted 14 items.
Is this another bubble? There's a lot of talk about Web 2.0, there are
a lot of ideas going around, there are ideas that might not be good
business, etc.
This morning I got a press release – and this is one of the perils of
perpetual blogging, you get fifty press releases a minute – what was
kind of interesting is that these guys sent me a release because
they'd just got venture fund (overlay for Internet Explorer). This
brings us full-circle to 1995, when we funded two browsers.
Nexton(?)'s a great platform, but it's a front end. uestion about the
bubble: it feels like one. It feels like we're reenacting things. But
then, so what? I think there is, I think there's a lot of enthusiasm,
but I also feel that it takes a lot of dead bodies to fill the swamp.
We have to do this stuff. We're kidding ourselves if we think we get
aces the first time. Make the same mistakes faster. ;) Part of my
answer is yes, but so what? There's way too much enthusiasm. I see the
same plan four or five times a day, which is crazy. There ware all
these crosspollination things. There's the Flickr of video – but it's
getting worse, really, now there's the YouTube of something else.
There are some great studies out there that go all the way back to the
Dutch tulip bubble. It was a fairly rational response among
policymakers who were responding to the tulip market. Options-based
market. The outcome was nasty, but the process by which it got there
wasn't nearly as euphoric.
One of the things that might be fueling the tiny bubbles is that there
seems to be a lot of money and people wandering out with bags of money
and they have to make investments because otherwise their money isn't
accomplishing anything. "Here's some money, I don't care what your idea is or what."
Assets under management. There's as much money out there as there was
at the bubble time, but it's just much more concentrated among the top
VC firms. It's concentrated in what people deem to be the best firms.
Problem is that in the VC world, there's an idea that the best is
always the best. VC rigged – they fish a very well-stocked pond. It's
a lot easier to look smart when you're working in an area where even
bad decisions look good. The problem with everyone else in the VC
market is that they're fighting for the scraps. I was talking to a
manager of a SV fund last week. He had made a few calls among their
limited partners on a Tuesday morning. Trying to put together 280
million. By the next morning, including faxes, three billion dollars
committed. Concentration of capital, etc. Flooding into what's
euphemistically called as alternative assets – private equity. Cash is
falling into their hands. Lot of people with a lot of captial trying
to find homes for it, and Web 2.0 and other companies…
If you can finance Web 2.0 companies on your credit card and you can
use online services for all of your work, do you need giant sums of
money that these VCs are handing out? In some cases, companies have
decided not to go for VCs. Is that a problem?
If you don't need VC, don't go for it. Do something else much more
notorious. That will give you more notoriety than taking money. If you
can build a company that doesn't require capital and you keep all the
stock, then go ahead and grow it. The trouble is that there are
legitimately many businesses where that is not the case, and there are
businesses that people think can grow without VC but they actually
can't, and by the time they need it, they're in horrible horrible
problems. A lot of the consumer-centric Web 2.0 companies, you can do
them very cheaply.
I talked about getting your head up in the tagcloud. The idea of this
democratization is that all these services that used to cost money are
asymptotically approaching zero. As soon as there's an interesting opportunity, there are 30 people in it. There's no barrier to entry any more. Pecked to death by ducks out there. It's great that the cost to enter has gone so low that you can do it without venture money, so every monkey with a credit card is in the market.
Q: Given that it's so easy to start a company these days, it's amazing how these companies manage to raise all this capital without having a real business plan.
Most people believe they can flip it. YouTube is interesting. IP issues are there, of course. It looks to me like a very early mockup of what a television might be. There's more there to see than you see up front, and you need to figure out how people can pay for it, but yeah.
Can you do what they're doing, or say, like rocketboom, and then figure out the business model later?
I hate to use the G word, but there: Google. This was a search company with a great technology. The VCs had no idea what the business model was. They "borrowed" their business model. They had no idea when they started that they would turn into a rapidly growing company. Precedent well set. If you do something on a large enough scale, you might stumble your way into a business model. You had better have scale and a business that can run economically.
The problems Google has now is that (you've noticed the stock price is down, right?) they're starting to look like Amazon. Rate of capital expenditure related to growth. Maybe this problem of growing companies isn't as easy as they thought.
Q: Progression. Thinking 12 months again, what the shifts are going to be, Web 2.0 for the enterprise, do you see that kind of history repeating itself?
Absolutely. I use my inbox as a temperature indicator of what's going on out there, the stuff that shows up in unsolicited tags. Split between consumer-centric 99%-1% business, and now 60%-40%. The pendulum's already swinging, and the three most interesting companies I've seen in the last six months are all on the business side. They've got subscriber models, they're selling to people in business, and they incorporate intelligence.
… Most people use Microsoft Excel as a really crappy database. Let's just make shareable databases easy to use and stop them from bastardizing their Microsoft Excel.
Q: Examples of companies in this space that are profitable, that are making money? Good example: Google, how they monetized search.
I'll give you another Canadian example of a community-centric company that's insanely profitable. Plentyoffish.com. It's a really funky idea. We'll build a very utilitarian website so that people can discover each other and undercut the dating market. It's a very grassroots approach to breaking into a community market that's gotten stuck on the subscription model, introducing Adsense.
The idea of building communities. There are companies that are discovering that to keep costs down, if you can find communities of similar people, you can actually sell better keywords.
Q about VC in Canada. I've been talking to a bunch of entrepreneurs in Toronto. Hard to get attention from financing. What's your opinion on that?
Everyone thinks they have a seed capital gap. In the Valley, there's a
perception that there's a lack of seed capital. I think that in
Canada, there just aren't enough individuals who will go out and fill
that gap. Economics of seed investing isn't very good. You can't get a
return. Very hard under the current structure… Some people will
selectively do seed investing, but they're not structurally supported
in doing this. Seed captial as marketing sometimes works, too.
Q: While you can build a Web 2.0 company on credit cards, it's harder
to build 5-year businesses. Is that where VCs can bring in a lot of value?
Most VCs in Canada and the US would like to find exactly those kinds
of company and do the traditional kind of investment, putting money in
over time. Recent experience is that businesses go to mezzanine
financing. Where do I jump in? Too early – broken business model. Late
– competing against big mezzanine private equity funds.
Q: Browser was a feature, not a product. When I hear you talking about (?) getting funding, and that's just an overlay on Internet Explorer… How many of these businesses are features, not products?
Plausible deniability. Nonsense like that is getting acquired. Some of the larger companies are passing off featres as products, and the line is getting really blurry.
Q: Often talked about: Skype. What's your business model? Cast a big net out there and hope you get people. Small risk, calculated one. Are there enough technology people, you normally see us business types…
eBay acquisition of Skype. Game-changer. That's huge. You can see all
the heads swinging toward VOIP. It absolutely focuses peoples.
The death of the IPO. It's a sad event, it's very traumatic, but it's
caused a lot of change. What they've had to do is run an acquisition
game for exits. As soon as they've seen a big acquisition that's on
par with what they've gotten from IPOs, etc…
We're now back at the level of online advertising that we were in 2001.
Q: Disproportionately small number of business and consumer companies
in Canada.
That's an interesting question. Putting it in VC terms… Getting that
pace of deal flow is so different from what it's like in the US. US,
exploding with flow, numbers game. While it's up, it's still much lower on a per capita

I have big dreams. I have these thoughts I thought I was alone in. Then I found the blogosphere. I found people around the world with these thoughts. I couldn't put my finger on it. It's not about a list of ideals or definitions, it's about intent. Eight months ago, I was really fortunate to be drafted through my blog to join the mecca that is Silicon Valley. I want to get a good sense because what I'm realizing eight months later is that everything has changed. I left thinking there wasn't a tech community in Toronto, that what I was thinking was crazy. We led into mesh with BarCamp. Stuff around the world. Toronto has a really amazing tech community here. I want to see and gauge, first, where everyone is at.
I like to think that everyone blogs for multiple reasons. I like to think that I'm creating my own personal history. Others to cennect with others. Others to rant, others to report on what's going on in the industry, sort of thing. Photos online.
What's happening is that this sort of media is what is buzzing the consumer the revolution.

Kumar Pallana, who stole many a scene as an actor in Wes Anderson's films, died Thursday at the age of 94, according to a post on his son's Facebook page.
A frequent supporting player in Anderson's films, Pallana appeared in small but memorable parts as Kumar in Bottle Rocket, Mr. LittleJeans in Rushmore, Pagoda in The Royal Tenenbaums, and as the Old Man in The Darjeeling Limited. The director met Pallana as a customer at a coffee shop owned by Pallana's son, called Cosmic Cup in Dallas, and first cast him in 1996's Bottle Rocket. Pallana went on to appear in other Hollywood films, such as Steven Spielberg's The Terminal. READ FULL STORY
