Storytelling in Content Marketing: What It Is, What It Isn't, & How to Do it Right
I recently came across this video, in which renowned Austrian graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister tackles the stubbornly enduring buzzword "storytelling." In refreshingly candid and colorful language (some of which is NSFW, by the way), Sagmeister dismisses those who claim to be storytellers, because the majority of people who apply this label to their work simply aren't storytellers.
Before we go any further, watch the video. It's only two minutes long. Go ahead, I'll wait.WARNING: Again, this video contains some NSFW language. If you're in the office, wear headphones.Although Sagmeister is referring to the concept of the self-styled storyteller within the context of design, his remarks are equally applicable to content marketing. We keep hearing about the importance of storytel... > Read more

Good webinars can be a little like independent movies – they leave you feeling wonderful, inspired, and ready to take on the world.

Interview: Learn the Secrets of Online Community Management from Moz's Erica McGillivray
Today I'm happy to share an interview I did over email with Erica McGillivray. Erica is a die-hard geek who spends a ridiculous amount of time being nerdy (her words, not mine!), both professionally and personally. At Moz, she's the senior community manager and helps wrangle a community of over 400,000 members, co-runs the annual MozCon conference, and works on whatever else is thrown her way.
She's also a founder of GeekGirlCon, a nonprofit run by volunteers that celebrates and supports geeky women with events and conventions. In her spare time, Erica's a published author and has a comic book collection that's an earthquake hazard.We're all secretly jealous of the community that Moz has built over the years. Let's hear from Erica how they did it.We're so impressed with the online ... > Read more
How to Develop Brand Voice Through Content Marketing
Many companies approach brand voice as an afterthought. Although it's important to ensure that you're creating great content, publishing on a regular basis, and keeping an eye on your overall content strategy, without a cohesive and consistent brand voice, you could end up confusing your most loyal fans or deterring would-be customers.

How the 'Attention Web' is Changing Content Marketing Metrics
Long gone are the days when clickthroughs and time-on-page were the most important content marketing metrics. Today, many publishers are changing their approach to shifts in audience behavior to focus on attention and engagement as the defining measurements of success.Although pageviews and unique visitors are still relatively valuable metrics to marketers, they don't paint a complete picture of how people are interacting with your content.
In today's post, we're going to examine the trend of analyzing how visitors are engaging with your site, not just how many, and look at some examples of this shift and how you can start measuring audience attention.RELATED: 32 Free Content Marketing ToolsWhat is the Attention Web?Firstly, while the so-called "attention web" is a genuine shift i... > Read more
Should Search Marketers Pay Attention to Growth Hacking?
By Sean Ellis, Founder and CEO of Qualaroo and GrowthHackers.comSearch marketing is the ultimate in mature channels, dominated by best-practice marketers who have honed their programs to the point of near-perfection. In particular, Google AdWords is ultra-competitive and there seem to be little to no low-hanging fruit, making it difficult to find positive ROI without a sizable marketing budget and a lot of SEM expertise.
Taken together, these factors combine to make search engine marketing one of the most crowded, competitive acquisition channels out there—and for good reason, because all that active commercial intent can lead to quick conversions.While it might not be readily apparent on the surface, growth hackers and search marketers share a lot of the same DNA. I should know. I coine... > Read more

Shikhar Dhawan smashed 71 off 53 balls while Parthiv Patel cracked a 42-ball 52 as Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed Kandurata Maroons by eight wickets in their first qualifying game of the Champions League Twenty20. Set 169 to chase, Hyderabad's openers made mincemeat of Kandurata's bowling and flayed a strong Sri Lankan attack to all parts of the ground on what was a flat batting surface. Opting to field, Hyderabad rocked the Lankans early, with Ishant Sharma removing a rampaging Upul Tharanga and Darren Sammy accounting for Jayasuriya as the Maroons slipped to 33/2 after five overs. However, former skipper of the Sunrisers, Kumar Sangakkara who chose to play for his board instead of his IPL side and Kandurata captain Lahiru Thirimanne added 89 for the third wicket to help the team cruise in the middle overs. While both powered on to aggressive half-centuries, it was the experienced Sangakkara who provided the much needed impetus to the innings in the closing stages as the visitors finished on a daunting 168/3 off their 20 overs, thanks also in no small measure to Dilhara Lokuhettige who took only 10 balls to finish unbeaten on an attractive 21. However, Kandurata's bowling attack, which included the likes of Nuwan Kulasekara and Ajantha Mendis were no match to a red hot Dhawan and his able ally, Patel who added 121 in the 13.5 overs they stayed together. Anything loose was punished by both southpaws and the Sri Lankans lacked in imagination on a belter of a track at the PCA Stadium. The hard-hitting Thisara Perera, also a Sri Lankan ensured that Hyderabad got to their target without any more hiccups after both their half-centurions had been dismissed. Perera remained unbeaten on 32 off a mere 11 balls as Hyderabad reached home with nine balls to spare. Like Otago, Hyderabad who got off to a winning start, would hope to get past the line again in their next game and all but secure a place in the group stages of the main event that starts later this week.

Singapore Air mothballs second cargo plane amid overcapacity
Published on May 27, 2013 5:40 PM
SINGAPORE (REUTERS) - The cargo arm of Singapore Airlines Ltd (SIA) said on Monday it will store a second Boeing 747-400 freighter aircraft as a result of continued overcapacity in the air cargo market.
The aircraft will be parked at Victorville, California from June 2013 until May 2014, leaving SIA Cargo with 11 B747-400s.
SIA Cargo had previously put a freighter aircraft in storage in December 2012.
"Fuel prices remain high and we continue to see weakness in the air cargo market due to industry-wide overcapacity, which has put pressure on rates," SIA Cargo President Tan Kai Ping said in a statement.

A 600-foot road that Montgomery County says would relieve traffic congestion in a small Chevy Chase neighborhood shouldn't get special treatment when it comes to removing trees, county planners say.
On Thursday, April 3, planners will recommend against granting the Montgomery County Department of Transportation a tree variance to build Platt Ridge Drive extended.
The new road would be built from Jones Bridge Road just west of Connecticut Avenue north through North Chevy Chase Local Park to Montrose Drive.
County transportation officials say the two-lane road would provide safer traffic patterns for residents of the Spring Valley neighborhood, who must deal with more traffic on Jones Bridge Road because of the expansion of Naval Support Activity Bethesda and Walter Reed Military Medical Center.
But staff from the Planning Department says the county has yet to prove the road is necessary enough to remove 14 specimen trees and impact another nine specimen trees in the road's path. Planners also disapproved of the project as a whole, though the Planning Department has legal authority only over the tree variance and forest conservation plan.
In their recommendation to be considered by the Planning Board next week, planners say the removal of the trees doesn't fit the area's Master Plan and that the neighborhood is already well served by an interim traffic signal:
The Plan is inconsistent with the recommendations in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Master Plan ("BCC"); the Forest Conservation Law; Chapter 50-32 of the Montgomery County Code; and Montgomery County Environmental Guidelines. The plan does not comply with the intent of the laws, codes and guidelines for tree and forest protection. …
… The design of the proposed road has not "minimized" forest clearing, nor have there been "reasonable effort" taken to minimize the cutting or clearing of trees and other woody plants. This reasoning is based on the first step of a proposed road which is justification of need and purpose. According to M-NCPPC Transportation Planning staff, the need for safe access to the Chevy Chase Valley neighborhood has been met by the installation of the 'interim' traffic signal which has resolved access and safety issues that generated the road proposal in the first place. Therefore the road seems unnecessary. If the "interim' traffic signal stays in place, the parkland could be preserved. This is the first course of action to minimize the clearing and loss of specimen trees and its associated forest.
The loss of an parkland with the varying topography and mature forest can never be replaced in the suburban community of Chevy Chase.
Planners later go on to say, "The Applicant will be removing irreplaceable contiguous forest inside the Beltway."
Platt Ridge Drive would require the clearing of about .71 acres of forests with slopes between 15-25 percent and another .23 acres of steeper slopes that would be removed.
MCDOT said a recent intersection study it conducted indicated that the neighborhood is affected by NSAB/Walter Reed traffic, especially during the evening rush hour when cars on eastbound Jones Bridge Road typically queue up, causing a major traffic chokepoint.
MCDOT argued that meant an "unwarranted hardship" for the Spring Valley neighborhood, which would merit a tree removal variance.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Hi all,
Got a problem with Forefront Security for Exchange. Late afternoon yesterday inbound and outbound weren't sending and the people would this initial message (attachments and body of the email) 'string_resource_283string_resource_414'.
When I googled it, it was relating to Forefront being corrupt and permissions issue (see below)
- My emails with attachments are received with the body
- string_resource_296
Anyway tried to troubleshoot the issue as forums mentioned security permission on the Forefront folder. When I took off scanning for both realtime jobs and transport jobs, then messages go through as they normally would. Restart the services for both Forefront and Exchange and tried turning scanning back on, and messages not sending or receiving (stuck in queue in logs so hitting the server but sending to Mailbox Server and then to the client).
Turning scanning off allows messages to come through. We use an external provider for our public records, and inbound emails receive scanning before arrival to our mail server so there is 1 layer of scanning before inbound items arrive at the moment. Done the following to summerise once I knew it must be Forefront: -
- Restarted all Forefront Services and Exchange Services
- Turned off Forefront scanning, restarted services, and emails route successful (inbound and outbound)
- Checked the permission of the Forefront folder - SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATORS, and LOCAL USERS
- Turned on Forefront scanning, restarted services, emails were not sending or arriving (stuck in queue).
Anyone got any ideas what I should try next? Just to confirm we're running Exchange Server 2007 SP3 and Forefront Security for Exchange SP2 which are all the latest packs for those versions.
Thanks very much.

Hello all.
I am the local IT worker at my employer. Recently, one of our user's computers was infected with malware. His computer was quickly removed from the network and his hard drive put in to storage. We have since set him up with a new computer and a copy of AutoCAD LT. However, we cannot reactive his license. I browsed the support sections on the Autodesk website and saw a tool that will reactive the license. The problem is, we have about 10 order forms with the serial numbers on them, and we don't know which one we used on his computer. Obviously we would not want to mistakenly alter any current working licenses.
We attempted to start up his computer while not connected to the network. And while we can get his previous desktop up and running, we can't find anywhere in the AutoCAD program any mention of what his serial number may have been. He has been running in trial mode for the past 28 days and it is about to expire, which causes unnecessary problems for him.
Is there a way we can see which licenses have been in use over the past month, or a way to find out the serial number used on the machine via some AutoCAD menu or by looking within the registry?
Hello PIC_Gregory,
If you still have access to the old machine / software, type ABOUT into the command prompt and the serial number will display in the upper left hand corner along with a product information link (which also contains the serial number) in the upper right hand corner.
In the case that you run into an activation issue or error, please utilize this web form / live chat to receive an activation code or corresponding assistance.
Please let me know if you need additional information, or accept as a solution if this fully resolves your inquiry.
Thank you!
I was able to get the license number and put in a request.

If you are thinking of all the things you need to do to change your life, than you are not happy just being a meth head. You want to change, but you are making up excuses because you know that it won't be an easy thing to do. You don't know if you are worth the effort. If you could snap your fingers and make a wish for your life right now, what would you want your life to be like? Just curious.
The only reason you need is that you aren't happy at this moment the way things are. "The End" doesn't matter. You aren't at the end. You're at the now.

Uttoxeter middle school teachers announce strike action
Posted: March 24, 2014|
A UTTOXETER middle school has announced it will close for the day as a result of industrial action.
Windsor Park Middle School, in Springfield Road, is closed to pupils on Wednesday as teachers take to the picket lines in an ongoing dispute between the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Government over excessive workload and bureaucracy and changes to pay and pensions.
St Mary's First School in The Heath is closing to Tigers and Bears classes but all others will remain open.
Ryecroft Middle School in Denstone Road, Rocester is open as normal for all pupils in Years 5 and 6 and pupils in 7B. Pupils in 7A will have school until 2pm and school will start at 11.45am for all pupils in Year 8.
Steve Bardon, head teacher of Ryecroft Middle School, said: "Fortunately we've been able to keep things running as normal for most."
Talbot First School in Kingstone and St Peter's First School in Alton will also be closing for the day.
Hutchinson Memorial First School in Checkley will be open to the 'Owls Class' only.
All Saints First School in Denstone is closing for children in class one and class three.
Oldfields Hall Middle School, in Stone Road, and Thomas Alleyne's High School, in Dove Bank, are open as usual for all year groups on Wednesday.
Commenting on the ongoing trade dispute, Christine Blower, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "The NUT announced national strike action on March 26 as a result of the Education Secretary's refusal to meet to discuss the matters over which we are in dispute: pay, pensions, jobs and workload.
"Whilst Michael Gove, by accepting the recommendations of the School Teachers' Review Body, has been prevented from making teachers' conditions of service worse, nothing has changed for the better.
"Two in five teachers are leaving the profession within five years due to intolerable workload pressures, performance related pay, increased pensions contributions and working until 68."

Microsoft Signs Wind Energy Power Purchase Agreement
Microsoft signed its first long-term (20-year) power purchase agreement (PPA) for wind energy. The agreement with RES Americas will be funded in part by proceeds from Microsoft's carbon fee.
Per the PPA, Microsoft will purchase all of the energy from Keechi Wind project, a new 110 MW wind facility to be constructed 70 miles northwest of Ft. Worth, Texas. The wind farm is on the same electric grid that powers Microsoft's datacenter in San Antonio, according to a Microsoft blog posting.
Early next year, Keechi Wind will begin constructing the wind farm comprised of 55 Vestas wind turbines. The energy will feed into the local grid, from which Microsoft obtains the energy to power its San Antonio data center.
Microsoft is funding the PPA in part from its carbon fee – an incentive for its business groups to become carbon neutral. A fee is charged for the carbon associated with the use of electricity and business air travel. The funds collected are invested in additional energy efficiency projects and renewables.
This year, the Environmental Protection Agency recognized Microsoft as the second largest purchaser of green power in the US. The company currently purchases 2.3 billion kWh annually.
According to Microsoft's blog, its datacenter in San Antonio also uses recycled waste water for cooling, and its Quincy, Wash., data center uses hydropower. In addition, the company is building a biogas-powered datacenter in Wyoming that will be independent of the grid.

Experts share their views on 50 years of social change
The impacts of social science research over the last fifty years are celebrated in the new issue of the ESRC's flagship magazine, Britain in 2015
Read the latest press releases from ESRC and our major investments. You can access press releases that we have published since 2009.
The impacts of social science research over the last fifty years are celebrated in the new issue of the ESRC's flagship magazine, Britain in 2015
When respected and admired professionals in the gaming industry promote tolerance and introduce their audience to different ideas about gender and sexuality, their young gaming fans will follow suit, becoming more tolerant of others.
Aid programmes need to recognise that relationships, respect and pride are just as important to people living in poverty as food and shelter, according to research presented at the ESRC's 2014 Festival of Social Science.
World War Two evacuees who fled Guernsey were denounced as 'cowards' by those left behind after German occupation, new research shows. Even schoolchildren were singled out as disloyal when they returned home after war ended.
ESRC is delighted to announce the launch of four major new research projects that will advance understanding of effective strategies for tackling poverty.
Making Christmas happen is a massive socio-economic and organisational endeavour. Christmas, now the world's largest global festival, sees individuals, businesses, and voluntary organisations take on unprecedented levels of activity.
Research has found that a third of primary school children 'never' read science books or websites. How effective is television in sparking young viewers' enthusiasm for science, and can alternatives, such as scientists visiting schools, do a better job?
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people seeking asylum - including those living with HIV - face a lack of specialist support and services in the UK, according to new research.
As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science, Dr Dinusha Mendis is hosting an event which will bring together industry experts, social scientists, policymakers, lawyers, economists and manufacturers of 3D printing to discuss the latest developments and understand the implications for users and consumers.
Media portrayals of cancer as a battle to be fought, and its focus on 'brave fighters' beating the odds, can lead to feelings of guilt and failure in people with a terminal diagnosis, according to research.

Lie-berals mock Mark Driscoll for teaching Biblical truth about women.
Mark Driscoll is a heretical false teacher, but even he has enough spiritual discernment to understand the Biblical truth about male-female relations. The lie-beral lamestream MSM have taken him to task for saying the following, now known to potty-mouthed unsaved trash as his "penis home" comments:
[Genesis 2:18-24 KJV] 18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
[1 Corinthians 11:7-9 KJV] 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
God's truth about men and women isn't always what the world wants to hear, but it is still God's truth. I've seen liberal false Christian space cadets immediately stop even pretending to be Christians when confronted with this truth, but it is still God's truth. Mesdames, if you don't embrace your God-given role as homes for your husbands' or future husbands' tallywhackers, you are in open rebellion against the Lord God Almighty.
This church is dedicated to preaching True Christianity and the King James Bible exactly as they are, with no alterations to make them more politically correct for modern liberals. If you think that we've misquoted or twisted Scripture or quoted any verse out of context, please explain in detail how we've done so. Otherwise, if what you read on this site offends you, then you're offended by Almighty God and His Word, not by us.
Questions to ask liberal "Christians" ✞ Things that the Bible doesn't say ✞ Tolerance
Re: Lie-berals mock Mark Driscoll for teaching Biblical truth about women.
I believe Brother Driscoll, but this does raise some interesting theological questions. For example, since they also have God's penis, why aren't black men's penises white? Also, since God created women with legs, why did God decide to house His penis in a mobile home rather than in a glorious permanent abode?
But, questions aside, the main point of this is that you should NOT abuse God's penis. This is probably why God cares so much about who is having what kind of sex with whom.
The kinetic theory of gasses is ONLY a THEORY.
Teach the controversy!

Summary: George Orwell's classic satire of the Russian Revolution is the account of the bold struggle, initiated by the animals, that transforms Mr. Jones's Manor Farm into Animal Farm--a wholly democratic society built on the credo that All Animals Are Created Equal. Out of their cleverness, the pigs Napoleon, Squealer, and Snowball emerge as leaders of the new community in a subtle evolution that proves disastrous. The climax is the brutal betrayal of the faithful horse Box ...show moreer, when totalitarian rule is re-established with the bloodstained postscript to the founding slogan: But Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 03

The winner: I got tired of replacing contact paper under the sink. So I bought a box of laminated flooring and installed it on the bottom of the cabinet. It comes in pieces, so it's easy to get in around pipes, small spaces, etc. Just snap it in place, make it a perfect fit and it can just lie there. It will take the abuse. One box can do several areas.
Carey Grey, Midland
Labels help with flour power
Especially when the holidays roll around, I am into many baking projects and have several types of flour to work with. So when I dump a 5-pound bag into a canister, I cut off the label and tape it to the canister so I can quickly tell my bread flour from my all-purpose and self-rising. Kathryn Johnson, Fort Mill
Convert cotton balls to snow
Instead of using artificial snow to decorate your Christmas Villages, use cotton balls as snow. Works great, is inexpensive and for me it brings back good memories as a child of creating dioramas with my mom.

Tackling Everest 'makes you feel in control'
Travellers who set off on trekking holidays to Nepal could experience and enjoy a feeling of power and control.
Mount Everest, the world's tallest peak, is undoubtedly challenging to tackle and even a trek to Base Camp, which stands at 5,545 metres high, is no easy task.
Some people would therefore question the attraction of trekking holidays to Nepal, but according to one expert on human behaviour, mountaineers feel in control when they are scaling the peak.
Dr Tim Woodman, co-director of the Institute for Psychology of Elite Performance at Bangor University, told The Telegraph: "A lot of people who climb mountains like Everest struggle to explain why they do it.
"Mountaineering allows them to feel fear - a very strong emotion - and be responsible for controlling that emotion."
The chance to see the impressive backdrop of the Himalayas is another reason why people book trekking holidays to Nepal - something that The Adventure Company's Everest Base Camp trip will give people plenty of chance to enjoy.
If this article sparks your imagination then have a look at our family activity holidays or our holidays to Nepal page

5 Father's Day Gift Ideas For the Carnivorous Dad
It's just days away, and if you're like us, you're stumped about what to get your pops for Father's Day.
It's just days away, and if you're like us, you're stumped about what to get your pops for Father's Day.
We all go out for dinner, but how many of us can say we've gone up for dinner?
A new invention could possibly spell the end of the waitering profession as we know it.
Cronuts have taken over New York City (and the internet) in a big way. The hybrid croissant-doughnuts are only available at one bakery, and when they're gone madness ensues. People are scalping pastries, folks. There's a cronut black market on Craigslist, where you can have one delivered to you for $40. There are bootleg "doissants." It's insanity.
To paraphrase the late Robert F. Kennedy, some people would ask 'Why put sloppy joe meat into a deep-fried, glazed donut shell?' but Charlie Boghosian asks 'Why not?' Boghosian, known to many fans of fair food (and presumably their cardiologists) as "Chicken Charlie," debuted a Krispy Kre
Whether you love doughnuts, or hate your pancreas, Friday, June 7 is National Doughnut Day! Celebrate by getting a free doughnut from Krispy Kreme, or getting a "free" doughnut from Dunkin' Donuts if you buy a drink. If that's a little too tame for you, let these epic doughnuts inspire you to search for a doughnut so good, it's actually worth paying for.
Being a mom is tough. How do you feed your little one on the go? Enter Lollipop company Lollyphile and their line of breast milk-flavored lollipops. Yes, this is a thing now.
Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!
Oh, were you just planning on slicing your watermelon into wedges this Memorial Day weekend? We regret to inform you that plain old wedges are now kind of lame.
Oh, Japan, you never disappoint.
You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia 'Today' on the air. He's back, and this time he's trying to eat the world's hottest pie.
When it comes to cooking dinner sometimes quick and easy is the way to go! Here's a one that is quick and easy and a hit with the kids.


text: Cops will profile the heck out of people, and lie to people to try find dirt on them, but if you lie to a cop your obstructing justice. The only thing I hope for is more cop reform, otherwise the hate will only grow more for them. I have met some cops who let me off of simple victim-less crimes, and others who have charged me with crimes I did not commit out of pure spite, forcing me to hire a lawyer to get charges dropped. Here the corruption rate is high, every other month I read about cops stealing, selling, doing hard drugs and money. The good cop to bad cop ratio is about 5:1 i believe from my experience.

Democratic party against SUNO, UNO merger
POSTED: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 - 6:39pm
UPDATED: Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 10:23pm
BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) – More opposition against the merger of SUNO and the University of New Orleans. Now the Louisiana Democratic Party says the plan is just a new package for an old plan that was already shot down.
Party representatives are citing a study conducted by the Board of Regents a little over four years ago. They say the final conclusion of that report showed the two schools should not be merged.
From admissions criteria to the student population – the study says the two schools are too different to successfully merge.
"There's no evidence it will save the state money," Kevin Franck, Communications Director for the Louisiana Democratic Party, said. "There's no evidence that it will help us out of our fiscal crisis. It's a political move, pure and simple and the only reason it makes sense for Governor Jindal to propose this merger is because he's pretty sure he and his party aren't going to lose any votes."
We talked with the state Republican Party and they tell NBC33 News it's too early to say whether or not the merger will be beneficial. That's why a new study has been requested.
Because the report was completed in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the GOP feels the new study will show that the merger will be better for students.
Comments News Comments
Don't merge that disaster of a school into UNO, just SHUT IT DOWN and transfer the assets to Delgado. 5% graduation rate is totally unacceptable and a waste of tax payer dollars.
You should really keep your asinine, prejudice comments to yourself. UNO's graduation rate is not that high!
5% grad rate, don't merge it shut it down!!!!!
