PDL News Release
Thursday, July 25, 2013
TAMPA, Fla. – The PDL announced its Team of the Week for the final week of the regular season today, with Baltimore Bohemians forward Pete Caringi being honored as the Player of the Week. Caringi, who is about to begin his senior season at UMBC, earned his second Player of the Week award this season after recording four goals in two games to lead the Bohemians into the playoffs for the first time.
With Baltimore needing a pair of victories in their final two games for a chance to make the playoffs, Caringi scored twice in their Wednesday night game against the NJ LUSO Rangers as the Bohs took a 5-1 victory. Caringi shone brightest on the final day of the regular season , however, as he led his team back from a two-goal deficit against the Mid Atlantic Division champion Ocean City Nor'easters. Caringi scored in the 78th and 88th minute to tie the game before goalkeeper Zach Kane scored the game-winner for the Bohs in stoppage time, giving the club second place in the division and its first playoff place.
Caringi is joined in the Team of the Week attack by Chris Prince of the Chicago Fire PDL, who had a pair of goals in his side's 4-2 victory against Michigan that helped propel the Fire into a playoff position. The Southern California Seahorses' Antti Arvola completes the trio after a four-goal game in his side's victory against the OC Blues Strikers.
The Thunder Bay Chill's Sergio Campano led the midfield quartet after recording a hat trick in the Chill's season-ending victory against WSA Winnipeg. The win allowed the Chill to claim the PDL regular-season championship for the first time. Joining him was fellow hat trick scorer Lebogang Pila of the Jersey Express, Laredo's Greg Mulamba, whose goal clinched the Heat a place in the playoffs, and Virginia Beach's Devin Pierce, who had a strong performance as the Piranhas defeated the Carolina Dynamo to claim their playoff place.
Ottawa's Nikolas Jelicic leads the defensive group after he had a goal and helped the Fury record their ninth consecutive shutout in a win against the GPS Portland Phoenix. He is joined by Ocala's Sam Duininck, who had a strong performance in the Stampede's regular season-ending victory against VSI Tampa Bay, and Ventura County's Dylan Riley, who helped the Fusion clinch a playoff place with a 0-0 draw against the LA Misioneros. Rounding out the side is goalkeeper Michael Petersen of BYU, who had a seven save shutout to help the Cougars close out the season with a 1-0 win against FC Tucson.

Bronzeville Information Center
The Bronzeville Visitor Information Center (BVIC), located in the historic Supreme/Liberty Life Building (enter through our Gift Shop, 411 E. 35th Street), is an African American Heritage Tourism attraction and cornerstone in Bronzevilles development as a premier international travel destination. The BVIC is a point of orientation and information for residents, visitors, guests, students, investors and researchers discovering Bronzeville. The 2005 restoration of the landmark located at 3501 S. Martin Luther King Dr. anchors the Gateway to the 'Black Metropolis Historic District'.
The BVIC houses an exhibit gallery featuring a perminant installation, "Bronzeville to Harlem" by Preston Jackson, a bronze and steel interpretation of the 'Renaissance' periods of both communities during the 1920's and 1930's.
The gallery has been the temporary home of visiting exhibits such as: -Provident Hospital -Javett Kimble photography -Robert Sengstacke photography -Project Onward: A studio for artists with special needs* Artists' works and -Ancestral Images. Our current displays are: -Black Cowboys in 21st Century Chicago and Ancestral Images and -Chicago Tribute Markers
The Supreme/Liberty Life Building was the longtime headquarters of the first African American owned and operated insurance company in the northern United States. Founded in 1919 by Frank L. Gillespie (as the Liberty Life Insurance Company), the firm moved, in 1921 into the second floor. The building, originally constructed by the Roosevelt State Bank, was bought by Liberty Life in 1925 and in 1929 merged with two out-of-state firms to form the Supreme Life Insurance Company of America.

From the Boardroom
As we ring in 2012, we have a LOT to reflect on from 2011!
During the past year, the Alumnae Board members have had their proverbial hard hats on, working to restructure our beloved Board and implement a new closer partnership with the UW Alumni Association. This work and collaboration have led the board to a significant milestone: we are thrilled to announce that we have established the University of Washington Alumnae Board Scholarship Endowment Fund via the UW Foundation. Establishing an endowment not only cements the impact the UWAB has had on the University and its promising students over the past 65 years, it also guarantees the UWAB legacy will continue on in perpetuity and is forever embedded in the University. We have set up the endowment to allow our funds to grow more quickly in the future by allowing interest to accrue on our account. Our board structure has gone from a large board led by a President, Past-President, and President-Elect to a Volunteer "Committee" structure, with leadership vested in an Executive Leadership Committee (ELC). The ELC now has a Chair (open position), Co-Chair held by Deanna Heinrich, and three sub-committees each with a chair and co-chair:

I am looking for a good organic fertilizer to use for house plants. I read that a fertilizer is organic if the NPK ratio when added up is less than 15 and no one number in the ratio is higher than 10 - so for instance a ratio of 5-8-10 would not be considered organic because the total is 23 which is higher than 15.
Anyhow, I bought one the other day that was 5-1-1 I think but the labels said it merely is "organic-based" so I'm not confident that it is entirely organic, though maybe it is. Can anyone recommend a good truly organic one - I'd like to be able to fertilize my house plants without adding any chemicals whatsoever. Thank you. |

I'm not sure this is worth the trouble, but to each his/her own. I would ask tho' that since you're essentially quoting defined termns, could you pls. provide the source? I'm not sure I'd accept that definition at all. |
I think you're confused. 12-4-8 is the same ratio of NPK as 24-8-16 (both are 3:1:2 RATIOS). Both are common MG formulas. The 12-4-8 is just 24-8-16 in a 2:1 dilution. If you dilute the 12-4-8 again at 2:1, you come up with 6-2-4, which totals a 12% fraction of NPK, all from the same fertilizer. That kind of dispels the 15% theory. The term 'organic' can mean many things. True organic fertilizers are actually more accurately termed soil amendments & REQUIRE the activity of soil organisms to break them down into ionic form so they can pass through semi-permeable cell walls. Organic actually means the material once was living and contains carbon. If it has no carbon, it's not organic. Because plants don't/can't absorb organic molecules, they absorb elements in ionic form (all plant nutrients are salts - except those that come from the air and pure water), organic soil amendments must be broken down by soil biota before they can be assimilated by plants in elemental form. Soil biota populations are extremely unstable in containers, making nutrient delivery via organic amendments erratic and unreliable. It's just the nature of container culture. I'm not saying you can't MAKE organic soil amendments as fertilizer work, only that when it comes to knowing what you're applying (in the way of NPK ...), and when it will be available to the plant, there is no comparison between soluble fertilizers and organic soil amendments - there just isn't. You might be able to 'make' the organic fertilizer approach work if you are so inclined, or if your ideology dictates it, but it really is a little like stumbling around in the dark because you have very little control over the 'what and when' of your plant's nutritional needs. Soluble fertilizers offer the clarity of knowing exactly how much of what you are applying, and it's immediately available, regardless of the level of soil biotic activity or lack thereof. If you're interested, you may wish to consider reading this thread about fertilizing strategies for containerized plants. If you're set in your ideology, just disregard my comments. I just wanted you to realize you'll be choosing to fight cultural conditions for control of your plant's nutrition by choosing an all organic plan, and should probably expect to find it necessary to confront other difficulties en route.

If you want organic fertilizer the only things I can think of are: 1)worm farm 2) fish tank water AKA fish emulsion 3) sea weed 4) provide Calcium with crushed granite, egg shell or oyster shell. However, like Tapla has said, you won't know what NPK or micronutrients you're providing your plants and what else they might need. |

The 16th Term: Obama's New Betrayals are Old, Old Hat |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Wednesday, 02 September 2009 23:32 |
In a new piece at TomDispatch, David Swanson and Tom Englehardt do a good job of encapsulating the continuity that has become the hallmark of our so-called Age of Change. The title says it all: "Bush's Third Term? You're Living It." It is a very thorough and detailed demolition job; but the roots of the corruption go much deeper than the current administration – or the last one. It sounds like the plot for the latest summer horror movie. Imagine, for a moment, that George W. Bush had been allowed a third term as president, had run and had won or stolen it, and that we were all now living (and dying) through it... There's Dubya now, still rewriting laws via signing statements. Still creating and destroying laws with executive orders. And still violating laws at his whim. Imagine Bush continuing his policy of extraordinary rendition, sending prisoners off to other countries with grim interrogation reputations to be held and tortured. I can even picture him formalizing his policy of preventive detention, sprucing it up with some "due process" even as he permanently removes habeas corpus from our culture. There is much more in this vein, as the authors skillfully morph Barack into the spitting image of Bush. [NSC-68] constituted the re-founding of the country as a "National Security State," controlled by the military-industrial complex and driven by a nightmare vision of exaggerated threats, craven fear, secrecy and deception, bellicosity and brinkmanship. This vision has waxed and waned in intensity at various times over the years, but it has never been displaced as the central dynamic of American power. The demonic, all-powerful enemy has now morphed from the Soviet Union to Islamic extremism, but the paranoid rhetoric and "Pentagon uber alles" philosophy of the Cold War has been seamlessly transferred whole cloth to the supposedly transformed "post-9/11 age."
"The Soviet Union, unlike previous aspirants to hegemony, is animated by a fanatical faith, antithetical to our own, and seeks to impose its absolute authority over the rest of the world."

They've made the year's most eagerly anticipated horror movie, but which films give Chris Hemsworth, co-writer Joss Whedon, director Drew Goddard, and cohorts the heebie-jeebies? See their picks in hair-raising fare.
THE EVIL DEAD (1981), picked by Joss Whedon and Kristen Connolly
Director Sam Raimi's demented ghoulfest is an obvious influence on The Cabin in the Woods and a favorite of Cabin co-writer Whedon. ''That's such a classic of: 'We want to frighten you and then we're just going to lose... our... minds,' '' says the Buffy creator. ''It's a film that actually, on its own terms, goes insane. I'm a fan of Polanski's Repulsion and The Tenant, which are also quite insane. But Raimi's insanity is more like a party.'' Raimi's party also finds favor with Cabin in the Woods star Connolly. ''We watched the Evil Dead movies in preproduction,'' says the actress, who plays one of Cabin's five hero-victims, the virginal Dana. ''I had no idea how nuts they were. The evil raping tree! I felt like I was on drugs watching it. I was like, What the s--- is going on here?''

You have to put the train cars in the proper order all the same color. First the engine, then the coal car then the box car, then the passenger car (with windows), then the caboose. The object is to get all eight tracks in their proper order and all the trains will leave the station. Sometimes you get blocked and there's a yard jam, sometimes you can only get two, three. four, five or six tracks but you're a total winner if you get all eight tracks. |
I won! I'm done! For now :o) |

If you would like to contact the Office of the President, please call 212.237.8600
Jeremy Travis
John Jay College of Criminal Justice
Jeremy Travis is the fourth President of John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York. Under his leadership, John Jay has been transformed into a senior college offering a rigorous undergraduate liberal arts program with new majors in Economics, Philosophy, Global History, Law and Society, Political Science, English and Gender Studies. The College expanded its Graduate Programs and is poised to launch John Jay Online. Since his appointment in 2004, President Travis has increased baccalaureate freshman enrollment by 58% and expanded full time faculty from 338 to 421. Over that time, John Jay College's external funding for faculty research has tripled. President Travis also launched the College's first capital campaign for $50 million, which will meet its goal ahead of schedule. Since 2005 Travis has served as a member of The Committee on Law and Justice of the National Research Council and was named Chair of that Committee in 2012. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Urban Institute. President Travis also served as Chair of the Task Force on Transforming Juvenile Justice, appointed by New York Governor David A. Paterson, culminating in the Task Force report recommending significant changes to the state's juvenile justice system.
Prior to his appointment, President Travis served four years as a Senior Fellow affiliated with the Justice Policy Center at the Urban Institute in Washington, DC, where he launched a national research program focused on prisoner reentry into society. From 1994-2000, Travis directed the National Institute of Justice, the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice. Nominated by President Clinton and confirmed by the Senate, Travis reinvigorated the agency and established major initiatives to assess crime trends, evaluate federal anti-crime efforts, advance forensic sciences, and bolster research on counter-terrorism strategies.
Prior to his service in Washington, Travis was Deputy Commissioner for Legal Matters for the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from 1990-1994; Chief Counsel to the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Criminal Justice in 1990, chaired by then-Rep. Charles E. Schumer; Special Advisor to New York City Mayor Edward I. Koch from 1986-89; and Special Counsel to the Police Commissioner of the NYPD from 1984-86.
Before joining city government, Travis served as law clerk to then-U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, currently a member of the U.S. Supreme Court, and was the Marden and Marshall Fellow in Criminal Law at New York University School of Law. Travis was Executive Director of the New York City Criminal Justice Agency from 1977-79 and served six years at the Vera Institute of Justice, where he managed demonstration programs on bail reform, judicial decision making and victim-witness assistance. He began his career in criminal justice working as a legal services assistant for the Legal Aid Society, New York's indigent defense agency.
Travis has taught courses on criminal justice, public policy, history and law at Yale College, New York University Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York Law School, George Washington University, and John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He is the author of But They All Come Back: Facing the Challenges of Prisoner Reentry (Urban Institute Press, 2005), co-editor (with Christy Visher) of Prisoner Reentry and Crime in America (Cambridge University Press, 2005), and co-editor (with Michelle Waul) of Prisoners Once Removed: The Impact of Incarceration and Reentry on Children, Families, and Communities (Urban Institute Press, 2003). He has published numerous book chapters, articles and monographs on constitutional law, criminal law and criminal justice policy.
Mr. Travis has received numerous awards for his contributions to the field of criminal justice, including the American Society of Criminology's August Vollmer Award, the Gerhard O.W. Muller Award from the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, and the Margaret Mead Award from the International Community Corrections Association. He earned a JD, cum laude, from the New York University School of Law, and an MPA from the New York University Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. He received a BA, cum laude, in American Studies from Yale College.

Acrobatic Tumble: Serious Flaws in Adobe Reader 8.1.2
Adobe cautions in an advisory against a whole series of flaws in Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Most of them also affect Linux.
Adobe provides new packages for 8.1.3 to react quickly to the problem, mainly discovered by iDefense Labs and the Zero Day initiative. You can get the complete security bulletin here.
The advisory affects a number of CVE numbers dealing with vulnerabilities mainly from attack from special code in PDF data, causing a potential system crash and even yielding control of the system. Fortunately no cases have yet been recorded. The CVEs are:
The CVE-2008-4816 should affect Windows only, but CVE-2008-2992 has been known since July of this year and involves format attacks using the util.printf() JavaScript function.
Few distributions provide Adobe Reader in their repositories because it isn't free software. They usually refer to the Adobe download site that provides RPM, Debian and tar.gz installers. Users should pull in the newest version indicated, although Reader 9 isn't included for Linux.

I have seen this occuring, but thought it was the same old ld-linux.so issue, that adobe seems to think they've fixed.
The long and short of it is, I've removed adobe pdf reader, and use kpdf which seems to be a lighter-weight solution with more functionality anwyay.

In new report, NIET outlines steps to create and support infrastructure for delivering high-quality 'PD' that leads to student growth
Los Angeles, CARecent research has proven that "job-embedded" professional development (PD) can improve instruction and student learningif there is a sufficient infrastructure in place to support, oversee and reinforce it. In a report released today, Beyond "Job-Embedded": Ensuring That Good Professional Development Gets Results (PDF), the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) outlines how it uses TAP: The System for Teacher and Student Advancement to ensure that "job-embedded" PDprofessional development delivered by site-based teacher leaders during the school dayresults in student academic growth.
"As districts and schools shift resources toward better models of 'sustained, job-embedded professional development,' policymakers and education leaders must ensure that PD that can improve teaching and learning really does so consistently and reliably in a particular school," said Dr. Gary Stark, president and CEO of NIET.
The TAP system is a revolutionary education reform that offers educators powerful opportunities for career advancement through teacher leadership roles and responsibilities; ongoing job-embedded professional growth through weekly collaborative "cluster" group meetings and individual coaching; fair and rigorous educator evaluation and performance-based compensation.
The report describes how TAP incorporates a structure to maximize the impact of collaborative learning teams and instructional coachingboth strategies that recent studies by Biancarosa et al.1 and by Saunders et al.2 found to be potentially effective. TAP also takes the critical next step to support, oversee and reinforce PD through a range of other mechanisms, including explicit teacher leadership roles, clear but achievable responsibilities for principals, schoolwide instructional leadership teams, and alignment with other human resource strategies.
Step-by-Step of TAPs collaborative professional development process, led by administrators, mentor and master teachers who form the TAP Leadership Team:
- Target specific student needs.
- Select and field-test classroom strategies.
- Learn new strategies in cluster group meetings.
- Provide follow-up coaching to every teacher. TAP master and mentor teachers have the time, authority and resources to provide one-on-one coaching for each teacher, carefully calibrating the content and form of coaching to meet teachers individual needs.
- Collect and analyze student results.
Before school opens in the fall, the TAP Leadership Team analyzes student achievement results and develops a schoolwide plan for improving learning directly related to the schools students. In addition to identifying broad school goals, the leadership team in a TAP school breaks down these goals to smaller more manageable subgoals, and develops a specific plan for supporting teachers in helping students reach these goals. In addition to benchmark assessments, student learning is continually monitored through formative assessments based on weekly student work.
Master teachers select research-based strategies that cluster groups use to achieve their specific goals. Before introducing the strategy to other teachers, they first rigorously field-test it with a sampling of students, conduct pre- and post-assessments and collect before-and-after student work. This ensures the strategy works with students in that school.
Master teachers teach the strategy by following a gradual release approach known in TAP as the five STEPS for Effective Learning, in which the strategy is carefully sequenced and segmented into manageable chunks.
In the TAP system, all teachers return to the weekly cluster meeting with analyzed student work representing high, medium and low levels of proficiency, to determine whether the strategy has increased student learning.
Independent of the TAP cluster meetings the administrators, master and mentor teachers facilitate for all teachers, the TAP Leadership Team meets weekly to oversee TAP system implementation. Members actively plan for and monitor cluster group activities to ensure that they lead to increased teacher proficiency and student achievement in the targeted areas. As another layer of support, members of the school leadership team receive support from NIET or state-level TAP teams.
As all of TAP's elements reinforce one another, teacher evaluation and compensation policies also reinforce job-embedded PD and help schools hold all staff members accountable for success in the professional development process.
The report is released as a prelude to the 12th National TAP Conference: Building a System of Teacher Leaders taking place in Los Angeles March 9-10, 2012, and will be discussed in detail during a panel discussion led by Kristan Van Hook, NIET senior vice president of public policy and development, on Friday afternoon, March 9. The panel, "Rethinking Teacher Professional Support," will explore how to scale up effective professional development and create greater accountability and autonomy for teachers.

Anglers on ice
By MIKE CORN
By MIKE CORN
WEBSTER RESERVOIR -- While the December cold spells weren't for everyone, there's a distinct population who are delighted to see the temperatures fall well below freezing.
That's because the know they can go ice fishing.
While Waconda Reservoir might be the area leader in terms of ice fishing opportunity, it's been cold enough this year for Webster to draw some ice fishing action -- in both the stilling basin below the dam and in the main part of the reservoir.
There wasn't much ice on the main part of Cedar Bluff Reservoir early last week, but there was enough to make trout fishing in the still basin a bit difficult.
Undaunted, a Trego County family trudged to the far side of the basin and fished down the sheer concrete walls of the spillway into an open spot.
Not everyone is a fan of ice fishing, but when the ice is thick enough to safely support anglers, the action can be hot as crappie, white bass and wipers can be pulled out as well. To be considered safe, ice should be at least 4 inches thick.
Trout were stocked in the Cedar Bluff stilling basin in late October, and anglers have been catching them.
A second stocking of trout was made at Webster in early December.

I would like to get a biometric safe for my wife. I know the code ones are awesome and all, but she doesn't want to remember a code in the middle of the night, and I don't want her to think about that either. What are your experiences? Any recommendations?

For a hand gun? None. A safe slows you down in a emergency. Teach your kids about Safety around guns. My wife and I both have out CCW's on our night stand at night ready to go. First day of police academy they asked everyone where is you gun and how we keep it. Everyone that said in a safe or with a trigger lock got push-ups. Lol. Mine has always been ready to go.
I bought this one: Barska AX11646 Multi-Access Biometric Keypad Safe, new on ebay for $164 delivered. The specs are here: http://www.barska.com/Biometric_Safe-Standard_Biometric_Keypad_Safe_By_Barska.html Its large enough to hold four guns, and has a shelf. It is both biometric and keypad operated, with an emergency key to open it. It will store about 30 prints, so I have it set for both thumbs and index fingers put in several different ways. I have never had it not open with these fingers. The keypad is set by default for four numbers, but you can require it to take up to eight. I have it next to my dresser with an eight foot 2x4 bolted to its back and running the length behind the dresser to make it theft resistant. Did not want to bolt it into the floor, my wife would not like that.
A key backup might be a good idea. As an aside, both of the Bersa firearms i have owned had a little lock integrated into them that disactivated the trigger. I never used it, but it would seem a handy tool for those with inquisitive kids.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.

On October 26, 1965, Indianapolis police answered a call saying that a girl had died. The call came from a pay telephone in front of a Shell station in a poor section of the city. When the cops got to the dingy clapboard home, they found the emaciated dead body of 16-year-old Sylvia Marie Likens, who had suffered a degree of abuse so tremendous, a prosecutor later called her killing "the most terrible crime ever committed in the state of Indiana."
On June 6, 1983, an Indiana police task force looking for the Highway Murderer receives a phone call. The called points to Larry Elyer as the suspect, and has knowledge of the case that had not been released.

Leucophyllum zygophyllum
Texas Ranger
Evergreen, Shrubs
LEUCOPHYLLUMNative to the Southwest and northern Mexico, these compact, slow-growing shrubs are highly useful and attractive in desert gardens. Most have silvery foliage and a good show of 1/2–1-in.-wide flowers with an open bell shape. Flowering may occur at varying times of the year, often after summer showers. Need very good drainage. Tolerate heat, wind, and alkaline soil. Use as informal or clipped hedges, massed as tall groundcovers, or in mixed dry-country gardens. Unless formally hedged, the plants require little pruning. Old, straggling plants can be rejuvenated by cutting close to the ground.
Leucophyllum zygophyllumGrows to 3 ft. high and wide, with gray-green, slightly cupped leaves and light blue flowers. 'Cimarron' is a dense grower with bluish purple flowers tightly packed along stems; leaves have a distinctly cupped shape.

Mastisol Overview
Reduce the likelihood of dressing or device migration or accidental removal and minimize the risk of infection by creating a lasting occlusive dressing barrier by incorporating Mastisol, an adjunct liquid adhesive, into your dressing securement protocols.
Unlike tincture of benzoin, Mastisol goes on clear, is non-staining and has a lower risk of adverse reactions (contact dermatitis).[1] Its non-water solubility means it will keep your dressings secure even in the moistest environments.
[1]Lesesne CB. The postoperative use of wound adhesives: gum mastic versus benzoin, USP.J Dermatol Surg Onc. 1992;18(11):990.Why Mastisol
Mastisol ensures the adhesive performance of a variety of occlusive dressings and devices, even in moist areas.
Mastisol is non-water soluble and compatible with CHG. (data on file)
Mastisol reinforces the dressing barrier and/or prevents catheter movement to minimize the risk of infection.[2]
Reduce nursing intervention of having to replace dressings and devices that don't stay on.
Mastisol provides long lasting adhesive power.
Save costs by reducing multiple dressing displacements or device dislodgements.
Mastisol shows superior adhesion when compared to benzoin.[3]

Mastisol Successes
"Mastisol was the only product able to hold the {device} system on the patient…it was easy to use and did not burn or hurt the patient."
- Diana B., RN, Falls Church VA
"This product is really making a difference in patient care. The tape {used to secure the NG tube} kept sliding down the patient's nose {due to their oily skin and} put the patient at risk of aspiration. When Mastisol was used…problem solved."
- Lori M., RN, Dearborn MI
"I have had numerous years of experience with Mastisol. It is easy to use and has superior adhesive qualities. I have never heard any complaints about the product, either from practitioners or patients."

Guestpost by Christian Vatter (www.christianvatter.com)
"Marketers are rapidly losing ground", Paul Polman said, CEO of Unilever, at the annual lecture of the British Marketing Society just a few days ago. Because consumers were often ahead of marketers, Polman promoted the solution to learn the language of the crowd in order to get back ahead of people. As an example, Polman states "provenance" (origin) necessary as being added as one of the Ps of marketing.
(Bild P. Polman, Bildunterschrift: Paul Polman, CEO Unilever, at the British Marketing Society, April 30, 2012)
Personally, I think this won't help companies practicing traditional marketing in the long term. Marketing needs to change more than just adjusting messages that are being pushed out. Why?
Firstly, marketing has lost it's meaning to people. The number of messages per day is too high to comprehend, and and due to excessive sugar-coating of reality, people have lost their trust in marketing communications. Instead of invading space to place selling messages, it is important to add substantial value to people's lives.
Secondly, marketing is not about messages and communication anymore, it's about direct experiences with brands. It became increasingly difficult to anticipate trends (fast-changing) and consumer needs (more demanding) to craft relevant, more targeted messages. Nowadays, it is vital to create meaning and relevance. More meaning by experiencing usefulness, usability and seamless flow in dealing with brands. And more relevance by having these experiences at very central brand encounters like products, analog or digital services, commercial environments, and of course employees.
Crafting such ideal user experiences dealing with brands needs to move more strongly into the focus of marketers. People trust experiences, whether their own, their friends', or even strangers' e.g. in online forums (http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/trust-in-advertising.png). Whenever we encounter a brand, we expect to be treated with good service, whether it is their website, employees or their actual products and services. If you had a good experience, you are very likely to come back. And a good experience makes it very likely that you recommend this brand.
Creating a unique and pleasant Brand UX at owned and highly relevant "channels" helps not only to add more value to these touchpoints, but also adds value to the brand. And this in return helps the brand gaining necessary preference.
For more information on Brand UX please visit www.brand-ux.com
Viva la revolución!

Funding your studies
Funding sources available to you depend, in the first instance, on where you come from, but also include funding for disabled students and part-time students.
Undergraduate Students from Scotland
Residents of Scotland studying on undergraduate programmes in Scotland normally have their fees paid by the Students Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). SAAS also provides access to student loans and a range of other support – Young Students' Bursary, Independent Students' Bursary, Additional Loan and Supplementary Grants.
Read the SAAS Support Information Guide for 2014-15 to find out more about eligibility criteria for funding support.
If you are applying to start, or continue, studying in the 2014-15 session you should submit your application for funding before the end of June 2014, so they will be processed for the beginning of your studies.
Students from England, Wales and Northern Ireland
If you are classed as being ordinarily resident in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you will be required to pay tuition fees for each year of your course. In 2014-15 Scottish institutions are allowed to charge these students for tuition fees. The fees set by UHI can be found here.
You will be entitled to take out an additional student loan to cover tuition costs, and this will be repaid, along with any other student loans, once you have graduated. The amount you pay back depends upon the date you started your studies. Please visit Student Finance England, Student Finance NI, or Student Finance Wales for further information on what you would pay back.
Students from EU/EEA and non EU/EEA states
If you are from an EU state and if your main reason for coming to Scotland is to study, SAAS will pay your tuition fees only.
If you are from a country outside the EU/EEA it is likely that you will be classed as an international student and will have to pay international student fees. You can also contact SAAS to find out if you are eligible for any funding.
Disabled students
You may be eligible for a Disabled Students Allowance from SAAS, who will need to confirm that you have a place on a course that they support and that you are eligible for support from SAAS. For more information please see DSA notes on funding for disabled students allowance.
If you have a disability or need additional support please contact the UHI college or research institution where you plan to/are enrolled as soon as you can where you will be able to discuss your needs and find expert help to enable you to access the right funding and support for you. For further information please visit Disability Matters.
Funding for part-time students
ILA200: ILA (Individual Learner Account) is a scheme run through Learn Direct Scotland whereby if you earn under £22,000 per year you can receive £200 towards the cost of your part-time studies.
Part-time fee grant (formerly known as ILA500)
This funding is provided by SAAS. The level of funding they can provide will depend on the level of qualification you are studying towards and the number of credits. You should apply directly to SAAS.
Please note that this grant no longer extends to postgraduate courses from 2012-13.

There are 247 comments on The New York Times post this morning announcing an update for a severely outdated comment system. Before today, the NYT's comment system had several drawbacks, including, most notably, the lack of comment threads. Yep, until today there was no way to respond to individual comments on a story; your comment just ended up on top of all the other comments in a long, dumb queue.
But today the Gray Lady announced a revolution in reader responses. "Today we are introducing enhancements to our comment system to improve the community experience across NYTimes.com," writes executive editor Jill Abramson.
The changes include a profile picture to go with each comment, a "recommend" button for each comment, Twitter and Facebook share buttons for each comment, a pane to view "reader's picks."
NYT also created a special status for its best commenters, a system employed by Reuters:
And finally, we are introducing a program for "trusted" commenters — those who have maintained a history of posting outstanding comments on the site. Submissions from these members of our community will not be moderated in advance. Trusted commenter status is offered by invitation only.
The system still has some shortcomings: most of the comments have no pictures and not all articles enable comments, to name two. Although it's an improvement over yelling at the paper at the breakfast table, we suppose.
Another issue: NYT limits non-subscribers to 20 article views per month. In the past, non-subscribers could still view comments without creating an account. Now, you must be logged into an account to even view comments. There are a lot of problems with that approach–first, it severely limits interaction; it shuts out non-subscribers, since they are limited to 20 views per month; it penalizes actual subscribers who have created a secondary account for commenting. In the latter case, why would anyone do that? I have, because my husband already uses the subscription-linked account for commenting. NYT has never cared to accommodate families who use the Times online.

I have been growing Cajun Belle peppers in containers and they are really pretty little plants. Very petite. The peppers I've picked have been very small and the walls of the peppers are very thin. I found them to be just a little heat when I've tasted them. I expected there to be a bell pepper taste with a bite to them. I did mince one up and put it into tuna salad and more flavor was brought out of the pepper was quite good. Is anyone else growing these peppers and can give me some feedback about them? Thanks, Vivian |

Here are a couple of my Cajun Belles: I agree with your assessment. Mine are about twice as hot as a jalapeno which was surprising to me. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sun, Jul 10, 11 at 13:30
Nice lookin' plants, Redshirt! Lots of pods already.... Josh |
Hey guys! Noss, I have one Cajun Belle in a ~5 gallon pot, the first pepper just turned red but I am going to let it sit on the plant for a week or two to pick up some flavor. The walls look rather thick to me but we will have to wait and see. Cajun Belle is a hybrid variety so it is plenty possible that different sources have differing versions that are being sold as "Cajun Belle." As far as I know there is no patent. This as well as growing conditions could contribute to differences in heat and size/thickness of the peppers. My peppers were much darker green than many of the pics I have seen, and more round with very few irregularities. I am curious to see if they have any heat. I have heard reports of these peppers being very mild with nearly undetectable heat and being significantly hotter than a Jalapeno. It may vary by growing conditions or genetics. I have also noticed that the first few peppers harvested from a plant often lack heat so it could be as simple as that. Maybe you could post a few pics? I do like the plant, it is very compact and an extremely heavy producer thus far. Although the peppers definitely sunscald easily, the plant is much happier in partial shade over full sun. -Phil |
I am growing these for the first time this year. I agree that they are lovely and cute. Mine have been in their containers for about 6 weeks and they are covered with golf ball size peppers. My problem is figuring out when they are ripe. The plants are only about 18 inches tall, and the largest peppers no more than 2 inches from stem to blossom end. The color is a very light green. Do they turn a different color when they're fully ripe? Do they get hotter or sweeter as they ripen? |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Sun, Jul 10, 11 at 15:39
They will turn a shade of orange and then into bright red when ripe. My first batch did anyway. I have a few with an orange tint right now that are mature but not quite fully ripe. They should be just as edible if slightly lacking in flavor as the fully ripe ones. |
- Posted by redshirtcat 6a MO StL (My Page) on Sun, Jul 10, 11 at 18:37
I took some pictures today for a 5-1-1 comparison thread today Ohiofem and grabbed one of a mid-ripening Cajun Belle for you: Mine go from this color to bright red and then they are ripe. |
Mine are different from redshirtcat's, they are darker green and do not turn Orange before red. I ate a couple of the first ripe ones, one on a charcoal grill pizza and one in a mean Pico. They are not extremely hot, being the first pods I expected as much. Like a sweeter, mild jalapeno with a slower paced burn. I look forward to the next round having a little more heat, we will see! Happy gardening! |
Mine have been ripening and we've been eating the. They are almost as hot as my Serrano del sol. I'm growing them in 5-1-1 with about 10% compost mixed in. I got my seeds from Tomato Growers Supply. The interesting thing to me is that I gave one of my starts to a friend. His have all been bland, with no heat. He didn't believe me when I said mine were hot, so I brought one to work for him. Sure enough, he liked the heat. He took a taste, then wrapped it up to take home to show his wife. He tells me that when they tasted it that night it was significantly hotter. So hot, he says, that his wife said it blistered her lips. But his own CJs grown in clay soil continue to be bland, almost "soapy." Very odd since they must have the same genetic heritage. In addition, our peppers don't look like either of the photos above. They look like tiny bell peppers, roundish and ribbed. |

Chances are good that there are several varieties sold as Cajun Belle, along with accidental hybrids and simple mislabeling. Ohio, I was going to ask if your co-worker is growing his peppers in the ground or
Josh |
I'm curious about how growing conditions can impact heat and flavor. My friend is growing his in the ground and says he doesn't water often. I grow mine in containers and water every other day due to the very high heat and dry conditions we're experiencing. (And, I can't seem to over water 5-1-1 in a fabric aeration container). Where I live in southern Ohio is corn and soybean country. I've often been disappointed in the taste of my peppers. I love Mexican and Southwestern food, but I have never been able to grow New Mexico chilis or anchos that have any heat. |
