Drupal Commons brings a wealth of functionality to social sites
Preparing to create a new kind of social site, called Seek or Shout, Jay Krall, Business Development Director at Cision, began a lengthy research process. Krall remembers, "Cision provides software and database services to the PR community, and we needed a new approach to engaging our clients through more effectively connecting journalists and PR professionals who have relevant interests.
"Over the course of a few months I evaluated many potential platforms for this project. Among them were several proprietary social development platforms. Despite their ongoing licensing costs, we didn't find big advantages to their functionality when compared with Drupal Commons. We also got bids for building the site in .NET that were several times what we ended up budgeting. Once we discovered everything we could build through Drupal Commons, the choice was easy."
"I would absolutely recommend working with Drupal Commons and Acquia to anyone who is pursuing a community site project."
– Jay Krall, Business Development Director at Cision
Cision's unique perspective on the current situation of journalists and PR professionals comes from delivering CisionPoint, their premier product which includes a database of over 1 million journalists and bloggers. Krall explains, "Over the past few years, we've tracked tens of thousands of journalists in the US alone who have moved from being employees of traditional news organizations to freelancers who produce both journalistic content and PR and marketing content.
"With Seek or Shout we don't ask at the point of registration whether you are a journalist or a PR person, as similar sites do. You define your role in the moment of any particular message. So if you're operating as a journalist, you click that Seek tab and ask for help with your article. Conversely, if you have something to promote, you click that Shout tab. The nature of each message is apparent to recipients in their news feeds. That is something Drupal handles seamlessly."
Drupal Commons, developed by Acquia, is a special version of the Drupal web platform that provides a complete social business software solution for building communities. Even with the robust feature set of Drupal Commons, not every shop could accommodate Cision's complex business requirements.
Krall recalls, "I talked to a couple of Drupal agencies that couldn't implement one particular piece of the project. Isovera, the Acquia Enterprise partner that ended up building the site, told us they could make that happen. Isovera has done an excellent job on this project."
Key to the success of the site is Drupal's ability to integrate. Krall provides background, "Previously, most journalists had been content for us to contact them to update their information, but today, people want to access and edit information about themselves, to delete information they don't want listed. Seek or Shout is an opportunity for us to provide journalists their profiles and allow them to actively participate in this exchange."
The site is completely integrated with the CisionPoint database and can both send and receive data. "When anyone registers for Seek or Shout, we check their email address against the database. If we find a match, we pre-populate that person's profile. From that point forward, their Seek or Shout profile belongs to them, and they can modify it as they see fit. Any changes they make will associate back into the CisionPoint database product."
This facility for integration also allows the site to make use of excellent third party software. "As a project manager, I know third party services integrations don't always go smoothly. With Drupal Commons and Isovera, the integrations went very well. For example, we use Gigya for social login and sharing utilities. With AlchemyAPI, we've enhanced Drupal's native taxonomy functionality. The site also integrates with our own CisionWire service, as well as PitchEngine, to provide news releases and pitches. For analytics, we use Kissmetrics and Google Analytics in addition to the excellent site analytics included with Drupal Commons."
The site smoothly provides all the functionality Krall and his team envisioned. Since the beta launch in January and full launch in April, site membership has ballooned to four figures. Seek or Shout has received many positive reviews, and news organizations represented among its members include the Guardian, CBS News, The Boston Globe, PC Today, and the Chicago Tribune.
The site is hosted on Acquia Cloud. "We knew we wanted hosting in the cloud, but we preferred having Acquia guide the way. Performance has been excellent with no problems.
"Working with Drupal Commons, Isovera and Acquia was an exceptionally positive experience for me. Most of my past project management experience has been with
.NET projects, trying to imagine the project from scratch, never quite thinking of everything. This is one of the best project management experiences I've ever had."

DelVal will host the 2014 Bucks County Science Research Competition
Mar 05, 2014
More than 200 middle and high school students from across Bucks County will compete in 15 categories at the Bucks County Science Research Competition (BCSRC) on March 11 from noon to 4 p.m. at Delaware Valley College.
High school seniors who win first place in the biochemistry and chemistry categories will take home full-tuition scholarships to DelVal.
The Heritage Award, an institutional merit-based scholarship worth $32,000 over 4 years ($8,000 annually), will be offered to next-place finishers (2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention) competing in the biochemistry and chemistry categories.
Winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd and honorable mention) of each of the remaining high school level categories, including behavioral and social sciences, botany, computer science, earth and space science, engineering, environmental science, mathematics, medicine and health, microbiology, physics, zoology, and team projects, will also qualify for the Heritage Award.
The BCSRC will hold an open house Wednesday, March 12 from 6 to 7 p.m. for members of the public to view the posters and projects (student participants will not be present during the open house). Winners will be announced during an awards ceremony March 12 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the James Work Gymnasium at Delaware Valley College.
BCSRC is part of the Delaware Valley Science Fairs (DVSF), an affiliated fair for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which encourages intellectual curiosity and creative problem-solving.
"A lot of these kids are really top notch," said Dr. Ed Sambriski, a DelVal chemistry faculty member who coordinates the judging. "While students tend to work on their science projects in a home setting or at their school, some collaborate with research labs or go to academia to carry out their projects. Groups donate resources and mentor students."
Students come up with a hypothesis, develop a research plan, carry out experiments, and analyze the results. They present their work through a research paper, a tri-fold poster, and interviews with scientists as well as technologists. Their topics range from the effects of nutrients on plant growth, to self-contained ecosystems, to alternative energy sources, to the use of nanotechnology in designing new materials.
In addition to the scholarships, winners will be competing for cash prizes and special awards. The first-place winner in each category receives a cash prize from the BCSRC. Second- and third-place winners, as well as honorable mentions, receive ribbons. Winners from the BCSRC go on to compete at the Delaware Valley Science Fairs in Oaks, Pa., in April.
DelVal has been part of the event for more than 20 years and awarded two full scholarships at last year's competition.
Even for students who don't take home a prize, the event is a valuable educational experience.
"For many students, the BCSRC represents a first-time opportunity where they get to talk with a scientist or a technologist," said Dr. Sambriski. "They get a lot of on-the-spot mentoring. Even though it is a competition, it's a chance to develop presentation skills and further their ideas. Some pursue those ideas in college as part of a research program."

Ipad Good on 15% of Top 100 Sites
March 8, 2010 by Vern
Filed under technology
Comments Off
Here's a great video about HP's new slate or tablet device that is due to hit the store shelves in 2010. This Adobe rep says FLASH – which Ipad does not support, is used on 85% of the Alexa Top 100 internet sites. Which means the Ipad is useless in seeing all the content on those sites.
I'm strongly leaning toward the HP slate running Windows 7 – and any other slate that has open standards, allows me to change batteries, has a 2MP camera at minimum, and allows me to transfer over all my media files without having to worry about DRM.
And you?

IPad? Not for Me…
January 28, 2010 by Vern

Comments Off
I was hopeful that Apple would create something revolutionary. Instead, they created something that was evolutionary.
They basically upgraded their iPod Touch and made it bigger.
There are a more than a couple deal breakers for me:
1. No camera. This is the already-used marketing ploy so they can later "upgrade" their ridiculously named iPad to now carry a 3MP camera… when the standard is 5, and they'll "upgrade" again later to 5MP at some point when the standard is 10MP.
2. No multitasking. Yeah, wonderful idea… no wonder the battery lasts 10 hours. If you cut the functionality out of other devices they too would run miraculously longer.
3. No handwriting? No whiteboard functionality? No Tic-tac-toe? Come on, what is the point of a "touch screen" if you can't touch it to write on it? This wasn't mentioned at the unveiling… does iPad have this?
4. Keyboard too small. Sorry, I'm not going to squish my fingers in and type in a restricted movement to "fit" the keyboard. Create something that works for medium sized hands – not just kids and women.
5. The rest doesn't matter – and there is a lot more…
Already I can't consider this device as anything special. I'd MUCH rather have a tablet notebook computer with a real operating system, graphics crunching power, USB ports, keyboard, replaceable batteries, more than 1Ghz processor, handwriting recognition, camera, etc.
I was hoping Apple would create something new… not something bigger. The playing field is now WIDE open for any decent company like HP to introduce something like the Courier, or someone to create an iPad like device with some functionality to it.
Apple failed tremendously this time. If they don't upgrade these things soon – someone will leap-frog them.
Just give me something usable in the tablet/slate form…
Is a camera too much to ask for? Wow, an epic fail.

Given the high drama of the ongoing healthcare debate and new fears about al Qaeda, it would be easy to have missed a triumph for liberty and prosperity this week south of the equator. On January 11, Chile became the first South American country to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). At first glance, I know it may not sound all that exciting that a Paris-based multilateral institution has welcomed Chile to its ranks, given everything else going on in the world. But with its accession to the OECD, which is effectively the club of the world's 30 developed nations, Chile has laid down an important milestone for anyone who cares about growth and freedom. Why?
First, Chile was experimental like no other country when it comes to economic liberalization, and it has benefited as a result. The legendary "Chicago boys," a group of 30 Chileans who studied under Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, spent more than a decade in the 1970s and '80s liberalizing trade, deregulating markets, de-politicizing the economy, and implementing a host of other free-market reforms. Given that these reforms occurred under General Augusto Pinochet, they have received some understandable criticism. Pinochet's oppression and violence are well-known, and history has now judged him. Any attempt to implement sensible market reforms under a corrupt dictator is going to be messy and subject to grave abuse. However, given these obvious limitations, it is nevertheless hard not to argue that when Pinochet effectively handed over the economy to the Chicago boys, the seeds of Chile's economic revival were sown. Chile's resulting positive economic trajectory over the past several decades is a big part of why the OECD has admitted the nation. How ironic that while the OECD was busy admitting Chile to its ranks, Hugo Chavez devalued Venezuela's currency by half.
Second, by 2004, Chile had returned to the top rating in the Freedom House's index of political and civil liberties after its recovery from the long and dark years under Pinochet. Before its worst trials began a generation ago, Chile enjoyed a fairly durable democracy, which then went through a terrible trial. But the country recovered the best of its past and began running ahead of its neighbors. In the Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index, Chile tops the list of South America's largest countries (those with populations over 10 million), buoyed by its high scores in governance, safety, and security, and the contribution of its policies to economic growth. No other South American country has a higher governance ranking than Chile in the index. The lesson in all of this is that, together with its economic reforms, Chile has taken democratic governance seriously, creating an environment in which economic transactions are depoliticized, the rule of law is effective, and citizens are safe and free to choose their path.
Third, Chile stands as a clear reminder of the underpinnings of growth and progress to which many in the West have grown so accustomed that they may likely not recognize them anymore. As the United States engages with the likes of China, Iran, Russia, and Venezuela—all of which have grown more repressive this past year, as today's Wall Street Journal astutely editorializes—policy makers would do well to look at Chile's example. It stands as a case study of liberalization, something that America still stands for, even if the current administration's tone on the issue has not been right. Engagement with unstable powers today needs to be littered with more, rather than fewer, references to liberalization, not only so that the OECD can welcome more members in the future, but because America's security and continued prosperity are at stake.

Ok guys so far everyone on here has shot me strait answers and now I have another....I just told Wells Fargo to stick it after 7 years of banking, so my question is do I go with BOA or Cap1, I direct deposit around $3200 a month and only use my debit card to pay everything either online or in person. I currently have a secured Cap1 card if that matters. Who is the better person to bank with, I'm also working on credit as well if that matters.
Thanks guys for any input.
IMO, none of the above. I banked with all 3 (WF included) and don't like any of them. Aim for a local bank or CU; where they'd know you by name vs. another digit.
