Poster of the Week
Do You Give A Shit About Water Pollution?
Mark Heller
Steve Gottlieb, Photographer
Personality Posters
Offset, 1971
New York, New York
This 1971 poster uses irony to call attention to the issue of water pollution—an issue that made international headlines this past week.
Before people were warned against about a disastrous chemical leak in Charleston, West Virginia on January 9, 2014, they ate, drank and bathed as usual. After people began to be hospitalized and reports of burned scalps, blistered throats, open sores on bodies and nausea began to be reported, they were finally warned not to used their tap water for ANYTHING but flushing the toilet. A chemical spill from a company absurdly named "Freedom Industries" left 300,000 West Virginians without tap water for days, sparking a state of emergency. Even after the ban was partially lifted, pregnant women were warned not to drink the water, and the reality is that there is so little information about the chemical that much remains unknown. The plant hadn't been inspected since 1991. To add insult to injury, Freedom Industries filed for bankruptcy on January 17.
Chemical safety is not a West Virginia problem, it's a national problem, said Devra Davis, a founding member of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board and now president of the Environmental Health Trust, a nonprofit group.
"It would be farcical were it not so grave. This is a huge threat," she said. "In a sense, we all live downstream now."When will we ever learn.

By Chadner Navarro
Secret Location, Vancouver
This Gaslight-district clothing store and restaurant opened in 2012, promising equally inventive cooking and clothes. The upstairs sales floor champions lesser-known designers like Olympia Le-Tan, David Koma, and Cinzia Araia. The downstairs Tasting Room, under the direction of Fraîche vet Jefferson Alvarez, offers assertive dishes like braised wild boar shank punched up with a citrusy sorrel sauce.

|Getting some love from Nicole.
This week I had the chance to venture into East L.A to hang out with some pretty awesome bloggers such as Erika from Nibbles and Feasts, Ruby from Growing up Blackxican, Yolanda from SassymamainLA, Rachel from The Art Muse, Monique from Curves and Chaos and Stephen from LatinoFoodie to name a few.
What was the occasion?
To visit Nicole from Presley's Pantry and enjoy yummy dishes inspired by Frito-Lay's #StaxQueRico flavors: Chile Limon, Flamas, Limon, and Adobadas.
My kids are addicted to these chips. If it has salt, limon and chile on it, we are obsessed.
Even though I had to teach an art class that morning, I knew I had to go! I didn't want to miss all the fun--and all the goodies. There was quite a spread: spicy avocado salsa, pork adobada, strawberry mango salsa, hot dogs topped with Stax Adobada chips, chile verde, sangria, bacon bean dip, ceviche and my absolute fave--chicharron-coated chicken bites with adobada dipping sauce by Ruby. So sinfully good!
I had no idea what I was going to make at first--I mean, what can you do to improve on something as yummy as chips and dip? Then it hit me, last week when we were in Ensenada, Mexico on the Crafty Chica cruise, we all walked off the boat for a life-changing cocktail--a Mexican Bloody Mary.
It was so good. Even after a day of exploring the city and eating a large amount of fish tacos (and shrimp cocktail. And churros. And coconut with chile and lime. And...), that Mexican Bloody Mary went down smooth.
We watched the bartender intently...so I can only relay the recipe the way I saw it being made for me. I know, I'm terrible when it comes to recipes, but this is why I'm not a food blogger, people! Heh.
Inspired by the Chile Limon flavored Stax chips, I tried to recreate that Mexican Bloody Mary because it's packed with that delicious chile limon flavor!
It's important to have lots of freshly squeezed limes for this drink. And Tajin! Do not forget the Tajin--it's what makes this cocktail. You can sprinkle some in the drink like I did, and you also use it as a garnish around the rim, just like a margarita.
|Spicy and delicious!
Disclosure: I was invited to attend this event by Latina Bloggers Connect. I was compensated and given a goodie bag. As always, this is my honest opinion.

Domestic spying has been the understandable focus of U.S. citizens and policymakers as Edward Snowden's disclosures about the NSA made international headlines. But the leaks have given us a fuller understanding of foreign surveillance, too. Abroad, the NSA operates with less oversight and fewer legal constraints. Is it behaving in accordance with America's interests and values? For the first time, Americans have the ability to make an informed judgment.
The panel that President Obama convened to study the NSA has already made suggestions for reforming the way that it behaves overseas. Among the "significant steps" they urged to protect the privacy of foreigners: Surveillance of non-Americans should be directed exclusively at protecting national security; shouldn't attempt to secure commercial gain; shouldn't target anyone "based solely on that person's political views or religious convictions;" shouldn't disseminate information about non-U.S. persons unless it protects national security; and "must be subject to careful oversight" and "the highest degree of transparency" consistent with protecting national security. The panel concluded that absent a specific, compelling showing, the Privacy Act of 1974 should apply to foreigners.
For Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review, a British citizen who has written eloquently about the dangers of the NSA's domestic spying, these reforms go too far, "according to foreigners bulwarks to which they have no claim." Efforts to do so are "the product of fluffy one-world types who haven't so much taken a libertarian exception to national-security overreach as folded the revelations into a toxic Weltanschauung that perceives America to be a global bully and force for ill," he argues. "If President Obama indulges this instinct, he will be abdicating his most elemental responsibility as the chief executive of the national government: to protect Americans from those who would do them harm."
After summarizing his substantial, strongly held objections to the NSA's domestic activities, he concludes that the problem is "an agency that is tasked with spying overseas has turned its attention to the homeland," not that the NSA is doing the job assigned to it. "The NSA isn't just allowed to spy broadly outside of the United States," he writes. "That is precisely what it should be doing. The legal and moral questions that critics have posed to the NSA make sense only within the United States."
As a foreign national, he adds, he certainly isn't claiming that only Americans possess privacy rights. He just believes that, as a matter of law, "only two sets of people—American citizens and those within the country's borders—are entitled to the legal protection of the Constitution," and that as a practical and moral matter
... a foreign power's violating your privacy and your own government's doing so are by no means the same thing. For the vast majority of people, the practical importance of one's secrets being obtained by one's own government considerably outweigh the importance of their being obtained by a foreign power.
These are not ridiculous arguments. A government spying on its own citizens really does present unique dangers; the NSA's activities abroad are far less legally dubious than its mass spying on the communications of American citizens; and foreign intelligence really is a prudent and legitimate thing to gather. Additionally, I find the presidential panel's suggested ban on foreign spying "based solely on that person's political views or religious convictions" to be puzzling. If an influential Saudi cleric's religious conviction is that all infidels ought to be killed, or if a rising Chinese official's political view is that America should be expelled from the Pacific islands by force, aren't those legitimate reasons to watch them?
I'd nevertheless go a lot farther than Cooke would to protect foreigners from current and future excesses of the U.S. surveillance state, both for their sake and for ours. The United States has an inherent right to defend itself from foreign threats. Beyond that, it has no moral claim to intrude into the private affairs of foreigners, and doing so in certain ways could certainly make it a force for ill. It's perhaps more useful to speak specifically about what I'd allow and what I'd forbid than to attempt an articulation of first principles, which I'm still working out.
But my policy preferences are grounded in these general beliefs:
- That indiscriminate mass surveillance is morally wrong, if not dystopian, and will grow increasingly problematic as technology advances.
- That the power to spy on anyone in the world tends, like all power, to corrupt, making self-imposed constraints prudent.
- That the U.S., a hegemon that frequently interferes in the affairs of foreign countries, has a special responsibility to guard against violating rights with surveillance.
- That the people who run the U.S. national-security state are, like all humans, incapable of morally, prudently, and secretly manipulating foreign political events. They should refrain from trying if only for practical reasons.
- That surveillance professionals tend to irrationally over-collect data, erroneously believing it's necessary even when it's actually overwhelming them.
- That a world free of indiscriminate mass surveillance is in our enlightened national interest, as are universal privacy rights that enable self-governance.
- That spying on leaders in countries that plausibly threaten our national security is the most legitimate form of foreign surveillance, and should be least constrained.
- That spying on regular people in other liberal democracies is the least legitimate use of foreign surveillance, and ought to be the most severely constrained.
- That few secrets are kept forever, and the likelihood that a given kind of spying will ultimately be made public ought to inform whether or not it is done.
- That it's in America's long term interest to preserve an Internet that affords users privacy.
I'd much prefer constraining the NSA, in accordance with those beliefs, than giving the foreign surveillance agency carte blanche to spy abroad however its officials see fit. How would I formulate the limits of foreign surveillance? I don't have language worked out that could be dropped into a piece of reform legislation, but I can lay out some tentative hypotheticals that fall on both sides of my line. I make no comment on their plausibility. They're offered as thought experiments.

W. Golf
Audette and Kiley Make NGCA All-American Team
Following a runner-up finish in the NCAA Division II National Tournament, Florida Southern had two of its golfers named to the National Golf Coaches Association All-American Team. Earning All-American honors for the third time in her career was senior M.J. Audette, while junior Megan Kiley earned her first such award. It marks the 13th year in a row Florida Southern has had at least two members of the NGCA All-American Team.
Audette was a Second Team selection after leading the Moccasins with a 76.3 stroke average and eight top-10 finishes. Her career average of 76.43 ranks fifth in school history, and her 26 career top-10 finishes are tied for second on the Mocs' all-time list. Audette was Florida Southern's top golfer in all three postseason tournaments this year, including the national finals where she placed seventh overall. It was the third year in a row Audette finished 10th or better in the Division II championships. She joins Shanna Nagy (1996-99), Lisa Ball (2000-02), Pamela Feggans (2003-505) and Heather Burgner (2007-09) as Moccasins who have done that three years in a row.
Kiley was an honorable mention All-American who was second on the team to Audette with a career-best 77.2 stroke average. She had a pair of third-place showings in different tournaments during the season, as well as one fourth-place finish. Kiley was the Moccasins' top golfer in three of their five regular season tournaments during the spring, placed sixth overall at the Lady Moc Classic when she was their #2 golfer, and later finished 10th in the conference tournament.

Mercator's Map of The

This is a fine, early map by Gerard Mercator of the area of
southern Russia and the Crimea with the Black Sea to the south.
North at the top of the map.
Gerard Mercator (1512-1594) was one of
the most famous geographers of his time. He was renowned
as a scholar in his day, and his name is known to this day as
the inventor of the map projections named after him. His
maps are known for their precise geographic information and
for their attention to detail. All of his maps are
finely engraving, mostly by Mercator or by one of his family
members. He worked initially from Leuven, Flanders, but
then from Duisberg in Germany. Around 1563, Mercator
became cosmographer to Duke William V of Julich, Kleve.. in
Germany. As the cosmographer, he began the writing of a
Cosmography intended to cover, in five volumes, the entire known world. As Mercator was involved in all aspects
of the time-consuming Cosmography, from writing the text,
drawing the maps, and engraving the copperplates, the atlas
was not finished in his lifetime and only sections were
finished and published before his death. His son, Rumold,
along with other family members finished the various parts and
published the final product, including previously published
parts, as the Atlas Sive Cosmographicae... in 1595.
The map was used for Mercator's Atlas Sive
Cosmographicae... in 1595.
further edition of this atlas was published by the Mercator family
in Duisberg in 1602 with this same map. In 1604,
the copperplates for the atlas were sold to Jodocus Hondius
and Cornelis Claesz. In 1606, Hondius introduced a completely
revised edition of Mercator's atlas, Atlas
sive Cosmographicae...... and used this map from the
Mercator plates for inclusion in the atlas, or as it is often called, the
Mercator-Hondius atlas.
Jodocus Hondius
(1563-1612) was the founder of the famous 17th century Dutch map
publishing family. Hondius, along with sons Jodocus II and
Henricus and son-in-law Johannes Janssonius, was prominent in Dutch
cartography and his family competed aggressively with the emerging Blaeu family map
This particular map appeared in the
Latin edition of
the Mercator Hondius Atlas of 1613. Latin text on
the verso describes this area of Russia.
This map last appeared in 1633 in a French edition of the
atlas, after which it was replaced
with other maps of the region by the Hondius and
Janssonius publishing firm (van der Krogt, p. 592).
Reference: Van der Krogt, Peter. Koeman's Atlantes
Neerlandici, vol. 1. 't Goy-Houten:

There are several recent
books about Gerard Mercator that we recommend to increase your
enjoyment and understanding of Mercator and his maps:
Mercator: The Man Who Mapped the Planet by Nicholas Crane,
and The World of Gerard Mercator by Andrew Taylor.
Fine condition; Strong map image. Complete,
untrimmed margins. With slight age-toning in the
margins as was common on many early Mercator-Hondius maps.

Apparel exports continued its falling streak in dollar terms in October. Exports in October were to the tune of $907 million against $914 million in October 2011, a fall of 0.75%. However, in rupee terms, exports rose 6.83% in October 2012 against the same period last year � from R4,583 crore to R4,810 crore, said A Sakthivel, the chairman of Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC).
Export in dollar terms for first seven months of the current financial year, too, witnessed a fall of 9.1% over the same period of last financial year � from $7.848 billion to $7.133 billion. However, in rupee terms exports rose 7.98% to R38,826 crore compared with R35,956 crore in the first seven months of last financial year, Sakthivel pointed out. For FY12, exports in dollar terms rose 17.9% to $13.699 billion.
Commenting on the decline in the dollar term, Sakthivel said, �Buyers are not putting more orders due to turbulence in global economy, specially in Western Europe, the US and Canada. Moreover, there is a stiff competition from Vietnam and Bangladesh in the US market from Turkey in the EU market. Though, there are news that China is losing out in these markets. We need to focus to grab the market share lost from China. Moreover, increasing wage rates, hike in oil prices and inputs are other causes of worry as they are dent on exporter�s profit.�
On the apparel imports of the US, the AEPC chairman said: �The US witnessed decline of 2.07% in January-September 2012 from the corresponding period of previous year and amounted to $59 billion dollars.

Origin: From པོ་ལོ.
Webster Dictionary
a game of ball of Eastern origin, resembling hockey, with the players on horseback
a similar game played on the ice, or on a prepared floor, by players wearing skates
Polo, is a team sport played on horseback in which the objective is to score goals against an opposing team. Sometimes called "The Sport of Kings", it was started by Persians, and was popular in Iran until 1979, after which its popularity there declined sharply due to the Iranian Revolution. Players score by driving a small white plastic or wooden ball into the opposing team's goal using a long-handled mallet. The traditional sport of polo is played at speed on a large grass field up to 300 yards long by 160 yards wide, and each polo team consists of four riders and their mounts. Field polo is played with a solid plastic ball, which has replaced the wooden ball in much of the sport. In arena polo, only three players are required per team and the game usually involves more maneuvering and shorter plays at lower speeds due to space limitations of the arena. Arena polo is played with a small air-filled ball, similar to a small soccer ball. The modern game lasts roughly two hours and is divided into periods called chukkas. Polo is played professionally in 16 countries. It was formerly, but is not currently, an Olympic sport.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
a game similar to hockey, played on horseback with mallets, and devised by British officers in India in place of football.

The Leftists came completely uncorked following Wednesday's debate.
Mr Obama's poor showing simply could not be the result of his poor showing.
Instead, it had to be other influences: sunspots, tidal pull, the Coriolis Effect, the nasty altitude in Denver and, of course, Jim Lehrer.
Mr Lehrer responded to the mass excoriation:
I thought the format accomplished its purpose, which was to facilitate direct, extended exchanges between the candidates about issues of substance. Part of my moderator mission was to stay out of the way of the flow and I had no problems with doing so. My only real personal frustration was discovering that ninety minutes was not enough time in that more open format to cover every issue that deserved attention.
I have to agree. One important duty of a moderator is to "get out of the way" of the candidates.
That said, the Obama Handlers have decided it's time to get back in Chicago-Style Politics As Usual. No shock there.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Then CIA-Director David Petraeus objected to the final talking points the Obama administration used after the deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, because he wanted to see more details revealed to the public, according to emails released Wednesday by the White House.
Under pressure in the investigation that continues eight months after the attacks, the White House on Wednesday released 99 pages of emails and a single page of hand-written notes made by Petraeus' deputy, Mike Morell, after a meeting at the White House on Saturday, Sept. 15. On that page, Morell scratched out from the CIA's early drafts of talking points mentions of al-Qaida, the experience of fighters in Libya, Islamic extremists and a warning to the Cairo embassy on the eve of the attacks of calls for a demonstration and break-in by jihadists.
Petraeus apparently was displeased by the removal of so much of the material his analysts initially had proposed for release. The talking points were sent to U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to prepare her for an appearance on news shows on Sunday, Sept. 16, and also to members of the House Intelligence Committee.
"No mention of the cable to Cairo, either?" Petraeus wrote after receiving Morell's edited version, developed after an intense back-and-forth among Obama administration officials. "Frankly, I'd just as soon not use this, then."
Petreaus' email comes at the end of extensive back-and-forth between officials at the CIA, White House, State Department and other agencies weighing in on a public explanation for the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans
The emails were partially blacked out, including removal of names of senders and recipients who are career employees at the CIA and elsewhere.
The emails show only minor edits were requested by the White House, and most of the objections came from the State Department. "The White House cleared quickly, but State has major concerns," read an email that a CIA official sent to Petraeus on Friday, Sept. 14.
Critics have highlighted an email by then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland that expressed concern that any mention of prior warnings or the involvement of al-Qaida would give congressional Republicans ammunition to attack the administration in the weeks before the presidential election. Fighting terror was one of President Barack Obama's re-election strong points
That email was among those released by the White House, sent by Nuland on Sept. 14 at 7:39 p.m. to officials in the White House, State Department and CIA. She wrote she was concerned they could prejudice the investigation and be "abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to agency warnings so why do we want to feed that either? Concerned."
After Nuland sent several more emails throughout that Friday evening expressing further concerns, Jake Sullivan, then-deputy chief of staff at the State Department, said the issues would be worked out at a meeting at the White House on Saturday morning.
A senior U.S. intelligence official told reporters Wednesday that Morell made the changes to the talking points after that meeting because of his own concerns that they could prejudge an FBI investigation into who was responsible for the attacks.
The official said Morell also didn't think it was fair to disclose the CIA's advance warning without giving the State Department a chance to explain how it responded. The official spoke on a condition of anonymity without authorization to speak about the emails on the record. Petraeus declined to be interviewed Wednesday.
The intelligence official said Morell was aware of Nuland's objections but did not make the changes under pressure from the State Department but because he independently shared the concerns.
That is contradicted in an email sent to Rice on Saturday, Sept. 15, at 1:23 p.m. by a member of her staff whose name was blacked out. The email said Morell indicated he would work with Sullivan and Ben Rhodes, the White House deputy national security adviser, to revise the talking points. The intelligence official disputed that assertion and insisted Morell acted alone.
An email from Morell also says he spoke to Petraeus "about State's deep concerns about mentioning the warnings and the other work done on this."
The emails were shared with Congress earlier this year as a condition for allowing the nomination of John Brennan for CIA director to move forward. An interim report last month from the Republicans on five House committees criticized the Obama administration and mentioned the emails, but the issue exploded last Friday when new details emerged.

Shader speed vs. Core speed ?
Well, I tried searching but got no luck eventually, so I starting this thread to get expert's help, as the title says which is better, in performance of system, as another question is, how about Stream processors vs. shader speed ? I know it's a bit awkward but it's kinda like asking Nvidia vs. ATI lol

Re: Shader speed vs. Core speed ?
Depends on the game, if the game is shader heavy it can more use of the shader clocks than a game that was not shader heavy.
When overclocking you overclock everything to gether or in a locked ratio most of the time, usually not doing so can cause instability easy or leave you with little to gain.

Re: Shader speed vs. Core speed ?
There where some threads a good while ago where the shader clocks were discussed, basically in game which are shader intensive (Bioshock, for example) will get an advantage (in shaders) having a higher shaders clocks.
Now, remember that a GPU has its own cpu and ram memory. Usually what you can control directly with overclocking programs are the core (cpu) and memomry (ram) clocks. The shader clocks are tied to the memory clocks when you overclock unless you modify them.PC: Death Star | i5-2500K | 8GB RAM | 570 GTX | 1TB HDD | Win7-64

Re: Shader speed vs. Core speed ?
IIRC the shader clock is tied to the core clock. But with some GPUs/Programs there is the option to unlock the shader clock's dependence on the core clock. In my experience, the shader clock can usually be pushed higher than the core clock (as a percent based on the stock clocks), but as Viscous said, it may be better to leave them locked.
30th May 2009, 10:06 AM #5
Re: Shader speed vs. Core speed ?
You can change the core and shader clocks independently.
The best way to find the right clocks is through experimentation. As noted, some games like a faster shader clock and others like a faster core; download FRAPS and record your framerate using different overclocking combinations and go with the highest performance.Lead Moderator for TechnologyGuide Communities

Re: Shader speed vs. Core speed ?
It depends on the brand of GPU. For ATi cards, the core clock controls the "shader" clock so increasing the core clock also increases the shader frequency. Nvidia cards have the shader frequencies separate or asynchronous with the core speed, so they can be changed separately.
But yeah, it depends on the game. Usually games that aren't memory bottlenecked (i.e needing a lot of VRAM) tend to be more shader intensive.M17x-R2 in Customized Able Blue:

Dog's place in bed a tough rule to follow
AsK Ollie email@example.com January 25, 2013 3:14PM
Updated: February 28, 2013 6:36AM
D ear Ollie: I heard about your advice column from my human grandmother who resides in Ogden Dunes. She calls me her grand-dog.
I'm a state of Virginia boy and hope you can help me as I have an unusual problem with my human parents.
They get angry at me for what I do when I crawl into their bed at night.
You see, I'm just a 2-month-old French bulldog puppy so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I love to sleep between them because it's so warm and "comfy" there.
I'm quite small and I don't take up much room. I'm very quiet so I don't wake them. But they just keep putting me on the floor saying, "Walter, this bed is not for dogs."
Don't you just love the name they gave me? I feel so rejected that I want to cry. But I'm single-minded and I don't give up. Unfortunately, neither do they.
So, Ollie, please help me convince them I really need their bed and I will sleep in my own bed when I get older.
Sincerely, Walter
Dear Walter: Uh oh ... once in the bed, always in the bed, and I should know.
Trainers like author Gerilyn Bielakiewicz recommend that no dogs should ever be on the beds or furniture. Young dogs should sleep in a crate or in their own bed — not in bed with the human master. "The humans' bed is the highest, most special place in the house and should be reserved for humans only," she says. Nice try.
Dogs see this issue quite differently. They see the bed as a den, sanctuary or retreat. A dog feels safe with his or her humans and the humans, no doubt, feel protected to some extent.
I have always slept with my human parents and so do the other four dogs.
We are small, bathed regularly and are "flea less" not be confused with fearless, and it's great they have a king-size bed.
We are all housebroken and know our special spot in the bed and sleep only there. We are all older and sleep through the night with the exception of Opie Taylor, who occasionally jumps off the bed in pursuit of a squeaky toy.
So there it is. I have heard humans say the rhythm of a dog breathing while sleeping can be very comforting.
My human parents have a friend named Sharon who raises dogs. She has five. When asked where her dogs sleep, she said three sleep in the bed. Two, she said, sleep in crates on either side of the bed — with the crates also serving as end tables.
I am interested in hearing about who wins the battle of the bed at your house, Walter. You, a comical little guy with bat-like ears and a pug nose, are really just too cute to turn away from the bed.
I believe your humans have already lost the battle. Am I right?

Verve's regional Vice President, Michael May, attended the J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Marketing Roundtable conference last week in Las Vegas, NV. As one of the keystone events for the automotive marketing community, Michael captured some great insights and made some keen observations that we thought you would find interesting.
If there was one central theme this year, it is the concept that mobile is not about the device itself; it's about the shift in the consumer mindset that mobile devices have created in our culture. This of course has resulted in a shift in consumer behavior, and it is paramount for auto manufacturers to recognize this shift, and the role that mobile is now playing in the purchase funnel, as they engage in media planning for 2013.
Mobile was a major focus of the conversation at this year's marketing roundtable; J.D. Power and Associates even released the results of a new mobile-focused study to drive this point home for auto marketers in attendance, as well as those monitoring from afar back in Motor City. Most compelling was the statistic that almost 60% of auto intenders are looking at their smartphone while they are on a dealer's lot! Talk about an untapped opportunity for dealers to engage with consumers and tip the needle from consideration to purchase.
All this said, it was no surprise that while themes of years past were focused on in-market auto sites, search, or social media; this year's roundtable was heavily concentrated on addressing the challenges and opportunities in mobile, reaching the ever expanding Hispanic audience, harnessing the power of "big data", and leveraging video.
It was refreshing to hear CMO's and key agency personnel discuss mobile and how as an industry we must all get better at learning how to integrate mobile in the overall marketing mix. Many of the panelists admitted however that as an industry, automotive tends to be late adopters as many companies are "just dipping their toes in mobile." Other remarks from speakers at the roundtable concurred that mobile search is still playing a bigger role than display, and creating content is the larger challenge compared to engaging in mobile advertising efforts.
While most of us marketers acknowledge that mobile is a critical part of our communications, auto clients, and especially their agencies, are still reluctant to shift large budgets to mobile. There is a lot of work the industry needs to do in order to shift spending in the coming year. That first hurdle is getting over the fear of the unknown and committing to testing and learning by using dollars traditionally allocated to TV, radio, print or digital. Understanding the fragmentation of media has made this decision extremely tough for media planners. We all must trust that mobile can increase brand recall and reinforce calls-to-action administered through those other advertising mediums because mobile is so personal. The proof is in consumer behavior – for example, mobile usage increases 48% during TV commercial breaks. If we can encourage TV-heavy auto advertisers to test mobile during the prime time TV day part; we are confident the results will work in their favor.
The auto industry is growing too, which presents even more of a reason for auto marketers to embrace mobile. J.D. Power is increasing their 2012 projection of U.S. light vehicle sales to 14.4 million units up from 14 million earlier this year. We must be relentless in helping client partners whether, on the agency side or brand side, craft solid precision-based mobile strategies that tie back to achieving real business objectives. Don Butler, VP Cadillac Marketing, said it best – "Digital media is giving Cadillac the opportunity to tell its story in markets where its market share makes buying TV ads inefficient".
Per J.D. Power, the auto industry will have 271 product choices in 2013 and 76 of those will be new and redesigned models competing for about 500,000 incremental sales. Auto brands can't continue to blanket DMAs and consider that enough to sway the competition. Location-based mobile activation is absolutely the best direct strategy available because of the precision that geo-targeting allows.
Additional observations include two groups of buyers that are driving the auto industry – Millennials and lower credit customers. A full 43% of Millennials are using their smartphones during the auto shopping process. The under-20 audience is growing 30% and the 20-30 audience is growing at 17%. This younger buyer, as well as the lower credit buyer, are taking longer-term loans and 48+ month financing and represent 30% of all sales. Low credit score customers are buying compacts and profitable pickups more than any other vehicle category. In addition, the auto industry collapse in 2009 is impacting the price of used cars. Since sales were so low a few years ago, used auto prices are climbing due to short supply and the values are helping many people get better trade in value for their new purchase.
As Millennials become more financially stable, mobile auto marketing is certain to accelerate. Auto marketers must be ready. At Verve, our team is here to guide our partners and make sure mobile is successful for their brands. Some have already embraced mobile including Acura, Kia and Mini. These auto brands are already capitalizing on the future by redesigning their mobile experience. Tom Salkowsky, Head of Mini Marketing said, "that of any media, Mini does mobile best." The Mini brand image is all about quality over quantity, and in the end, we agree that same principle can be applied to mobile. Quality mobile marketing is all about precision and being tact, knowing when and where to be when it matters most to the customer.

"A komusō (虚無僧) was a Japanese monk during the Edo period. Komusō were characterised by the straw basket (tengai) worn on the head, manifesting the absence of specific ego. They are also known for playing solo pieces on the shakuhachi flute. The Japanese government introduced reforms after the Edo period, abolishing the sect. Komusō means "priest of nothingness" or "monk of emptiness""

Rubbish Cover Up
Government cover-up over axed bin collections - Telegraph
Ministers tried to cover up a Government-funded report which linked fortnightly rubbish collections with an increased health risk from rats, flies and seagulls, The Sunday Telegraph has established.
The report found that ending weekly collections would "significantly alter the pest infestation rates and hence the disease transmission at source", while vermin and insects could be "encouraged into the home environment".
However, the Government kept the £27,000 study, by the Central Science Laboratory, under wraps and ministers were only forced to release it when the Conservatives tabled a series of parliamentary questions.
In June 2007, Ben Bradshaw, then an environment minister, claimed there was "no evidence in published studies" to indicate a link between cutting collections and increased risks to health.
Do you see what he did there? He didn't publish the report so there was no "published study". Benny Boy wasn't lying you see but you might think he was misleading Parliament...

Today's piece in the New York Times on indie rock sub-categorization isn't particularly interesting . . . although when you apply what's been happening in music to the world of books, there are a few intriguing outcomes.
The main thrust of Ben Sisario's Times piece is that indie music has atomized into a trillion little genres—which is a confusing, yet good thing:
For those who has scratched their heads in confusion (or rolled their eyes) reading a music blog lately, the joke is uncomfortably close to the truth. Ten or 20 years ago it was relatively easy to define the term "indie-rock" as a handful of related styles and a collective audience slightly on the fringe of the mainstream. But by the end of the decade it has become an ever-expanding, incomprehensibly cluttered taxonomy of subgenres. So you say you like indie-rock — well, do you mean mumblecore? Freak-folk? Ambient doom-metal? Eight-bit?
Keeping track of it all can be exasperating, which makes it easy to overlook an important fact: Despite this flurry of hyphenation, indie-rock's gradual atomization has actually been good for the music. The reason there are so many names is that there is more variety in the music than ever. Now, thanks to an accelerated feedback loop of musical creation, consumption and online discourse, a hundred schools of thought contend.
The point that he doesn't really bring out here is about how these aren't necessarily "categories" in the top-down, where-to-shelve-in-the-record-store sort of way, but are more like the "tags" you find on Last.fm, serving as clues to help lead an adventurous listener to new bands.
I could be completely wrong, but it seems like it would be incredibly helpful for recommendations and the like if people more actively created interesting tags and sub-categories for books.
This sort of exists for some genres: under "science-fiction" there's "steampunk," "cyberpunk," "alternate history," etc., etc. And for "mystery" there's "noir," "detective," "Nordic," and so on.
But what about "literary fiction"? What does that even mean? And what is the difference—which can be found in some bookstores—between "fiction" and "literature"? (I'm sure we all know the answer to that, but isn't it a bit like obscenity? Like you might not be able to define it, but you know "literature" when you see it?)
I have no idea what these sorts of tags might look like—or even if they already exist and I'm just not aware of it—but it would be really interesting to see how the proliferation of categories would impact reading recommendations. (And I don't mean academic tags like "post-modern" or "meta-fiction," which are rarely useful outside of dissertation writing.)
For instance, I just went to Library Thing to see what tags come up under Antonio Lobo Antunes's Act of the Damned. This is one of my all-time favorite books, and in a certain mood, I'd love to read something as formally inventive and funny and engaging as this book. Here's the complete list of tags for this book: 20th century, adultery, challenge, communism, contemporary, corruption, death, decay, dentists, drugs, family, fiction, first person, greed, incest, inheritance, Latin American fiction, literature, mental illness, political, Portugal, portugese_literature, Portuguese authors, Portuguese Literature, postmodern, poverty, revolution, Roman, romance, sex.
None of these are useful. ("Sex"? Seriously? Like there's a book out there that's not about sex?)
I know this is a digressive, meandering, possibly senile post, but it seems to me that readers would be the first group of people to be inventing interesting and creative neologisms to define what it is that they're into. Shouldn't there be some catchy tag that links Antunes to Cortazar to Calvino? Some label that a young reader could stumble across that would open up a new world of literature that they'd appreciate. There could be bookstore displays of these sub-genres, blogs about particular ones, etc.
Just a thought . . . And if anyone has any suggestions, or examples of how this already exists, please post them below . . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, but the name is a little confusing. MOPS groups strive to meet the needs of every mom with children from birth through kindergarten (PRE-school), including pregnant women. Meetings include time for fellowship, guest speakers, creative activities, small group discussion and spiritual encouragement. Enjoy meeting with other 'real' moms while your children are cared for in the MOPPETS program!
MOPS recognizes that urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home moms, teen, single and married moms all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be. MOPS groups can help! MOPS groups meet regularly to celebrate the joys of motherhood and to encourage each other through the challenges.
We hope you can join us! We meet at Alexandria Covenant Church in Alexandria, MN (by Target).

EnerCom, Inc. Presents The Oil & Services Conference™ IX February 22-24, 2011 In San Francisco
DENVER, Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- EnerCom, Inc. announced today The Oil & Services Conference™ IX (TOSC 9) will be held at The Omni Hotel in San Francisco, on February 22-24, 2011. Interested participants can register to attend, find the presenting company schedule and view live webcasts at http://www.theoilandservicesconference.com/Form1.aspx.
As many issues are debated about how to develop and deliver new forms of energy that are cash efficient and clean, one issue remains evergreen – the world's constant and insatiable consumption of crude oil and natural gas. With the U.S. economy producing 1.8% more output during 3Q'10 than the pre-recession period of 3Q'08, and with forecasts of growth for world economies in 2011, it is apparent that all global regions – offshore and onshore – will be explored and developed to deliver the necessary energy to meet industrial expansion.
Attendees at this year's Conference will hear a select group of companies present their 2011 development and exploration plans. Growth will be the theme for this year's conference. Attendees will also hear from a group of energy analysts who will deliver presentations on their future outlook for trends and the direction for commodity prices.
Founded in 2003 by EnerCom, this annual Conference brings together executives and investment professionals in the global oil and gas industry. Each company presenter will deliver a 25-minute presentation, followed by company break-out sessions. Institutional investors and research analysts can schedule one-on-one meetings with presenting companies by contacting EnerCom prior to the Conference.An in-house TOSC Index was created by EnerCom to track the stock performance of the 2010 presenting companies. For the period of January 4 – December 31, 2010, the 2010 TOSC group of presenting companies generated a return of 23%, outperforming the S&P 500 and S&P Energy indices by 10% and 4%, respectively. A performance graph can be found on the Internet by clicking on http://www.theoilandservicesconference.com/TOSC_index.html. Global sponsors of TOSC 9 are Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Preng & Associates, Hein & Associates, and Enertia Software.
