The researchers show that a high proportion of small, but not large, hominin teeth had non-local strontium isotope compositions. Given the relatively high levels of sexual dimorphism in early hominins, the smaller teeth probably represent females, indicating that females were more likely than males to disperse from their natal (i.e. where they were born) groups. This is similar to the dispersal pattern found in chimpanzees, bonobos, and many human groups, but dissimilar to that of most gorillas and other primates.
Established paleontological and archaeological techniques provide little tangible evidence for how early hominins used and moved across landscapes. For example, home range size has been estimated based on a rough correlation with body mass, and models of early hominin dispersal have relied on behaviors common among hominoids and presumed to be present in a common ancestor. "However, the highly uncertain nature of such reconstructions limits our understanding of early hominin ecology, biology, social structure, and evolution", says Sandi Copeland of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
Copeland and colleagues have now used a geochemical proxy, strontium isotope analysis of tooth enamel, to investigate early hominin landscape use. Strontium is ingested and incorporated in trace quantities into mammalian teeth. First, the researchers determined strontium isotopes in plant specimens that were collected within a 50 km radius of the Sterkfontein and Swartkrans caves in order to establish the background of biologically available strontium across the region. They then sampled a series of hominin tooth crowns by employing a relatively new method for measuring strontium isotopes in teeth that is called laser ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS). This method is almost non-destructive as it leaves only tiny traces on the enamel surface. The researchers found that although there is no significant difference between the proportion of non-locals in P. robustus (36 %) and A. africanus (25 %), there are significant differences between subsets of hominins defined by tooth size.

Global Vaccine Action Plan – English
Global Vaccine Action Plan – French
Global Vaccine Action Plan – Spanish
Global Vaccine Action Plan PDF – English
Global Vaccine Action Plan PDF – French
Global Vaccine Action Plan PDF – Spanish
The Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) is the result of a global consultation effort which gathered inputs from more than 1,100 people, from 142 countries and 297 organizations, in Asia, Africa, Americas, Europe, Middle East and Western Pacific.
The Decade of Vaccines Collaboration would like to express its appreciation to all the individuals and the stakeholders that provided comments and feedback to the draft GVAP.
The GVAP (agenda item 13.12, Document A65/22 and EB130/2012/REC/1, resolution EB130.R12) was discussed by the Members States during the sixty-fifth session of the World Health Assembly, Geneva, 21-26 May 2012, during which all 194 Member States voted to endorse the GVAP.
The Global Vaccine Action Plan, as approved by WHA can be viewed in the following languages:
The Decade of Vaccines Collaboration was initially discussed by the Sixty-fourth World Health Assembly in May 2011 as part of the progress report on the implementation of the Global Immunization Vision and Strategy. Governments, policymakers, elected officials, civil society, health professionals, global development organizations, the research community, manufacturers and other experts are joined forces to create the GVAP, through the work of the four Working Groups and Steering Committee. The plan also went through a consultation process that began in the fall of 2011 and included regional meetings around the globe, dozens of issue-specific gatherings and an online consultation.
Additionally, in January 2012, during the 130th session the Executive Board of the World Health Organization discussed the Draft Global Vaccine Action Plan update under the agenda item 6.12.
Furthermore, the Decade of Vaccines Collaboration shared the GVAP draft during missions briefs held in collaboration with UNICEF and WHO on 19 January in New York and on 6 March in Geneva, respectively.
The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization reviewed the GVAP on three occasions (8 November 2011, 16 February and 12 March 2012). Several SAGE members praised the initiative and what the GVAP is trying to achieve. Their feedback was incorporated in the final GVAP.
The Decade of Vaccines Collaboration hosted a reception at the Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly in May 2012. See highlights from the event in the video below.

Lawyers for the Army and the Colorado health department will return to court next month to talk about monitoring chemical weapons after bad weather forced a postponement in a conference scheduled last week.
A new settlement conference is scheduled in Denver federal court for April 27. The state sued the Army last year, seeking more frequent and sensitive tests on 2,600 tons of mustard agent at the Pueblo Chemical Depot.
The two sides announced a tentative settlement in January but couldn't agree on whether the munitions should be considered waste or on the level of protection workers should have against chemicals other than mustard.
They say they agreed on the other issues. The Army is building a plant to destroy the mustard.

American Regional Cuisine
Some Southern Cuisine History
Immigrants from Great Britain founded the first permanent British settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, near the Chesapeake Bay in 1607. They found the land to be teeming with fish, game, and produce; however, not much of it resembled the foods from their homeland. The Powhatans taught the colonists about game, fish, seafood, and plants that grew naturally in this location.
Soon with the help of Native Americans, the settlers were hunting venison, raccoon, pheasant, quail, wild turkeys and ducks; fished for sturgeon, turtle, and oysters; and planted squash, beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. They also showed the settlers how to prepare these different foods.
The Catawba and Cherokee Indians taught the early settlers to the Carolinas how to preserve foods by drying them in the smoke of the fire. This became the foundation of barbeque, and now almost every region of the United States creates its own barbecue. Some areas prefer a wet and sauce barbeque sauce, some others start with a flavoring rub and the barbequed food remains dry.
Barbecue Terminology
Pulled meat
- shredded, pulled in long strands
Chopped meat
cut into cubes
- prepared with a sauce
- seasoned with a spice rub instead of a liquid sauce
Initially, barbeque sauces contained no tomato or ketchup. In early days, vinegar and or butter, and water served as the base for the sauce while the smoky flavor from the smoldering wood permeated the meat.
Today, the predominate flavors found in barbeque sauce varies widely from vinegar to catsup to mustard to smoky. No matter what the recipe, most barbecue sauces incorporate salt, sweet, sour, and hot into the seasoning. Types of meat will also differ from area to area. Most Southerners will prefer port for their barbeque, while Texans and many in the cattle country of the Southwest want beef. In Kentucky the barbeques start with mutton.
Native Americans in the South enjoyed an abundance of foods: sweet potatoes, corn, squash, beans, melons, wild berries, nuts, and game, including deer, rabbit, bear, wild turkey, and squirrel. Those living near coasts and rivers also feasted on an assortment of fish and seafood. Native Americans introduced settlers to corn and showed them many ways to use it. Consequently, corn soon became a mainstay in the Southern diet.
Southern cooking combines elements from the cooking of Native Americans and the cookery found in various countries of Europe and Africa. Cuisine of the South exhibits influences from the Spanish and French, while distinctive Southern cooking primarily combines qualities from English and African cookery. To a great extent, the basis for this cooking came from the English who were the initial settlers in the coastal areas. They prepared dishes from the British heritage such as stews, pies, puddings, roasted meats, and boiled vegetables.

I have to admit, i'm in love with your darker stuff, or even your light colouful stuff with a dark twist on it, i'm liking it rtil keep up the great work!
i do wonder what would would have happened to get the character in this position, did he/she fall from a ship in the sky and then get shot or is it like a sequence-motion? gets shot while standing on solid ground but at the moment the trigger is pulled this image is shown, like the worlds turned upside down for everyone there in just a second, or for the character at least. Please let me know!
Interesting stuff as always ;D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
love it!
The vertical streaks of color really add to the effect. it really paints not only a picture in your mind but a story.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Epicly Awesome in every single sense of the word.
The only reason Newgrounds didn't front page this is because they've already frontpaged' so many other pieces of yours.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
One of my personal favorites
This pic is stragely addicting to look at, it reminds me of a bunch of time i've seen people stabbed or shot in movies and tv shows. This picture is just way past awesome.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Reminds me of an anime i seen
cant remember what the name of it was... but the character looks like Lelouch just the character, but the pose and stance and rise reminds me of a transformation/awakening, but with out the blood and object(s) going threw the center mass of the stomach. I wonder what gave you this idea

Franklin Street Works celebrates its one-year with the original exhibition 'Working Alternatives'
Franklin Street Works presents the original exhibition Working Alternatives: Breaking Bread, Art Broadcasting, and Collective Action, on view from October 27, 2012 - January 13, 2013. The exhibition looks at three threads of alternative art space histories and examines how engaged, inclusive strategies are still being used to break down perceived barriers between contemporary art and its audiences. The themes covered in Working Alternatives are conviviality and food, artists who use media (newspapers, television, and radio) as platforms for artworks, and artist collectives in the US, explored through an open archive gathered specifically for this exhibition.
Originally Working Alternatives was designed to be the backdrop for our first annual fundraiser, but Franklin Street Works is postponing that event until the spring so the indoor/outdoor extravaganza will coincide with warmer weather and have less proximity to long-standing regional art events. If you saved the date for our fundraiser, however, don't despair and keep it on your calendars – there is still a party! Working Alternatives will open on the same night, October 27, from 5 p.m. -8 p.m. with a free, public reception. The evening will include a lively performance of San Francisco artist Tom Marioni's "Drinking Beer Sonata with 13 Players" where thirteen people will create music by blowing into beer bottles based on Marioni's instructions.
For Working Alternatives, curators Mackenzie Schneider, Terri C Smith, and Jess Wilcox explore three threads of alternative art platforms and production: conviviality and food as components in alternative art space programming and mission (Wilcox); artists using media such as radio, television, and newspapers as alternative venues for presenting work (Schneider); and artist collectives presented in a living archive with weekly changing exhibitions using archive materials (Smith). In addition to historical examples, the exhibition also includes original artworks by contemporary artists that reflect and expand on the show's themes. Working Alternatives' artists include: Paul Branca, Jaime Davidovich, ESP TV, Group Material, Ann Hirsch, Tom Marioni, Anna Ostoya, Legacy Russell, Chris Sollars and Jerome Waag. Franklin Street Works is also excited to collaborate on several off-site artworks, including the live radio broadcast of an Ann Hirsch performance on WPKN, Bridgeport, and collages by Anna Ostoya in the Stamford Advocate via four, monthly ads during the show's run.

Critic's Choice: HARD EIGHT
Critic's Choice Featuring selections from the metro area's top film critics Phillip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly and Gwyneth Paltrow star in HARD EIGHT The directorial debut of acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson "Movies like Hard Eight remind me of what original, compelling characters the movies can sometimes give us." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
Hosted by film critic Nick Schager (Time Out New York, Slant) Tuesday, November 20 – 7:30 p.m. Carte Blanche Members – Free / Members - $6 / Students & Seniors - $8 / Nonmembers - $11 |
ABOUT THE FILM: Before his commercial breakthrough with Boogie Nights (1997), writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson made this quietly powerful character driven drama. John (John C. Reilly), a half-bright loser stranded in Reno, is down to his last few bucks when Sydney (Phillip Baker Hall), taking pity on him, buys him breakfast and offers him a few tips on making money in the casinos. Two years later, John has become Sydney's partner, but his lack of common sense goes from problematic to dangerous when he falls in love with Clementine (Gwyneth Paltrow), a cocktail waitress who isn't above turning a few tricks when she needs to make money -- and isn't any brighter than John. Hall and Reilly, both first-rate character actors, are cast in rare leading roles, and Paltrow is cast strongly against type as a part-time prostitute with a serious lack of street smarts. Despite originally receiving only a perfunctory release when it opened theatrically in 1996, Hard Eighthas since gained a significant fan base and critical support, largely a result of the subsequent success of writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson. Don't miss out on this rare theatrical presentation. ENGLISH I 102 MINUTES ABOUT THE CRITIC: Nick Schager is a film critic for Slant magazine and Time Out New York as well as a columnist and features writer for the Independent Film Channel. His work has also appeared in, among other publications, The Village Voice, indieWire, Cinematical, The Independent, The Screengrab,PLANET magazine and SOMA magazine. A former magazine editor and 2004 graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, he has been a featured speaker at Columbia University as well as a guest on A&E's Biography and G4TV's Attack of the Show.

Anyone have any information on him? He was the fifth pick in the 2006 draft by Atlanta. Obviously, didn't pan out as the fifth pick, but might fit as a role player here. I always looked at the starters that played for the Celtics before KG who "sucked", but became good role players for either the Celts, Cavs, or Wolves.
Shelden Williams NBA & ABA Basketball Statistics | Basketball-Reference.com Looks to be just a bench player...
Looks to be a stiff ... rebounds and paint disrupter off the bench. This guy was picked 5th ... wow ... what a waste of a pick. He's too small to be a PF and too slow to be a SF ... but he got paid.
He's 6'9" 250 pounds...an inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than Leon Powe and the same hight and 15 pounds heavier than Brian Scalabrine is so if he's too small to be a power forward somebody better tell that to the Celtics as they have been using smaller backup PFs the last couple of years Some more info on him: http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/2009/08/celtics_sign_sh.html
He would be a different role player then Scal. Wasn't too long ago that Scal was loudly criticised by the fans, but when he was surrounded by great players everything was good. Let's see how this guy does coming off the bench playing with four all stars.
:rofl: ... funniest thing on the Celtics is watching Scal play defense. He's worked hard at it and he's better than he was before ... but it's funny. At any one time he has 3 body parts moving in different directions. Talk about a guy that gets 120% of his God given ability ... it's Scal - he has way overachieved and I give him credit for that.
Saw Sheldon play all through college. Living in ATL and ACC country ... you see all the ACC games. He was a force in the middle for Duke when he played there. He was drafted out of Duke by the Hawks ... but the Hawks were in dissaray and not the team for him to being going to. Coach stunk, still does. IMO, we might see more of the 'DUKE player he was with the C's', with the kind of coaching he's going to get and the other talented 'bigmen' who he will be playing with, Sheldon might blossom in Boston.

New Mock Draft
If The Steelers Trade Down It Would Look Like This IMO

Re: New Mock Draft
looking good
Re: New Mock Draft
i like Dowling but he is injury prone. i would rather keep our 1st rounder and grab a LT or a NT
Re: New Mock Draft
I like it. Mine would like this 2. Rahim Moore, FS , UCLA 2. Davon House, CB , NM State 3. Joseph Barksdale, OT , LSU 4. Sione Fua, DT , Stanford 4. Virgil Green, TE , Nevada 5. Mark Herzlich, ILB , Boston Coll 6. Cecil Shorts III, WR , Mount Union 7. Cortez Allen, CB , The Citadel |
Re: New Mock Draft
Re: New Mock Draft
1-Aaron Williams, S, Texas
2-Curtis Brown, CB, Texas 3-Lance Kendricks, TE, UW (or Austin Pettis) 4-Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida (or Orlando Franklin) 5-Noel Devine, RB, WV 6-Alex Henery, K, Nebraska |
Re: New Mock Draft
The steeler almost never trade out of the first round, could see a trade up to get a OL or CB but not a trade back, It isn't something they normally do. And I don't think they will reach for a NT either, I think they will run hampton till his wheels fall off. No reason to get rid of a guy who is still playing at a high level he could possably go another 5 years do they need a backup yea but not a starter. I think they will resign him after next season.
Re: New Mock Draft
If we traded down, I would like this scenario
2a. Ras-I Dowling, CB/FS, Virginia 2b. Rashad Carmichael, CB, Virginia Tech 3. Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida 4a. Jerrell Powe, NT Ole Miss 4b. Lawrence Guy, DE, Arizona State 5. Alex Henery, K, Nebraska 6. Greg Lloyd, ILB, Uconn 7. Da'Rel Scott, RB, Maryland |
Re: New Mock Draft
Re: New Mock Draft
I dont like williams either....he's a raw player and steelers love those raw type of guys...ala Mendenhall, I. Taylor, Worilds,...etc....but i wouldn't question their first or second round selections(if they trade down to the second for extra picks).......

Manuel Valle's Execution Gets the Go-Ahead From Circuit Court Judge
Categories: Crime
Florida Department of Corrections |
Manuel Valle, now sheduled to die on September 1. |
After a hearing ordered by the Florida Supreme Court to decide the effectiveness of the state's new lethal-injection drug, pentobarbital, Scola ruled that Valle's defense "failed to present any credible evidence of any risk of needless suffering."
Scola's ruling will now go back to the Florida Supreme Court -- which previously delayed the execution date from August 2 to September 1 to facilitate the hearing -- before Valle can be blasted with the lethal juices.
The defense's main witness in the hearing, an anesthesiologist, gave anecdotal evidence about the pain suffered by inmates from other states who have been subject to lethal injections involving pentobarbital, but Scola ruled that without some sort of data, "there is no way to know" exactly how it affects inmates.
Pentobarbital, the new sedative drug, has already been used for executions in four other states, although it hasn't yet been used in a Florida execution.
The drug replaces sodium thiopental, which has been unavailable after the only seller in the country, Hospira, stopped manufacturing it due to concerns about its use in lethal injections.
The folks who make the pentobarbital over in Denmark have been objecting to the state of Florida, and others, for using their product to kill people -- including the company's president writing letters to Gov. Rick Scott asking him not to use his company's product.
Still, pending the Florida Supreme Court's decision, Valle's execution will take place on September 1.
Valle, convicted of killing a Coral Gables cop in 1978, has been locked up at the Florida State Prison in Raiford since May 16, 1978.

Listen to New Sleigh Bells Song on Turntable Kitchen
Categories: Food News
Turntable Kitchen is the creation of a San Francisco couple that feature recipes, cooking stories, music selections, and album reviews. The most fun thing about the site is Turntable Kitchen Pairings Box, "a food and music experience delivered to your mailbox on a monthly basis." Each box is $25 a month and features vinyl tunes, a curated mixtape, dried ingredients, recipes, and tasting notes.
The New York Times said this about the site:"The blog, now with almost 40,000 monthly readers, suggests very specific pairings: a peppy upbeat playlist (with music from Girl Talk) for fish tacos, say, or something rustic and subdued (Iron and Wine) for roast chicken and potatoes.'Everyone is looking for the tastemakers,' Ms. Hickey said, 'people who can provide them with a well-curated experience.'"
Turntable Kitchen is part of a trendlette of monthly hard copy subscriptions to old school stuff -- books, magazines, recipes, letters, and music-- much like The Rumpus' book club and their letters in the mail.

This post was occasioned by a piece by Oliver Kamm in the Jewish Chronicle and is about my favourite writer of fiction - Philip Roth.It was written on the occasion of Roth's announcement that he wasn't going to write any more books. Well, I just cannot imagine what someone like Philip Roth will do or be without writing books.
For me, no-one lays out the bare bones of writing quite like Philip Roth. Apart from his many revealing accounts of the writing process, just reading him is like I'm climbing into the sentences and crawling around the words.
Like millions of my generation, I was knocked out by "Portnoy's Complaint" - its outrageousness and audacity - though I don't like it all that much now. Now, my favourites are predictably those self- and Jewish-obsessed Zuckerman novels: "My Life as a Man", "The Anatomy Lesson" and "The Counterlife". Another book I like very much is "American Pastoral" - a book which I believe will be read five hundred years from now.
Readers of this blog, with its part-focus on World War Two revisionism may well like The
Plot Against America". It's no favourite of mine, but it does showcase Roth's genius for imagining and realising a story. You can find out more about it in this clip.
Roth has consistently denied the charge of self-obsession, claiming that he uses autobiography as a starting point only, a firm foundation from which his imagination can leap. I think he's right about that.
He's also been accused of misogyny, so much so that feminist publisher Carmen Callil walked off the recent Man-Booker panel in disgust at his selection. Again, I think the charge is unfounded. Roth writes honestly about what it feels like to him to be a man and, as far as I'm concerned, that meets all his obligations as an artist. When asked about the walkout, he himself said "I simply don't understand it".
Finally, there is that absurd charge of Jewish self-hatred. Roth writes about his Jewish world, both inner and outer. What more can a writer do? And, if in so doing, he reveals some of the ugliness therein - what's not to like?
His later books left me rather cold - too short, too serious and too downright literary for my taste. Where had the mad Jew gone? Well, like all of us, he'd just grown up.
Anyway, here are a couple of clips, by and about, Roth himself. But best of all, is to read the books

Power Rank Friday: DUI Busts, Crank Profs, and More Anus Tattoo, Please
The local personalities, egos, and public figures who swung through the news cycle this week, ranked by New Times'
crack research department using a highly scientific algorithm (i.e., walking down South Beach last Monday night, calculating the ratio of weeping Irishmen compared with redneck testicles, multiplied to the Nth degree, twice.)
5. Florida Highway Patrol: As we told you over the holiday, police departments in South Florida opted not to put up traditional sobriety checkups. That doesn't mean the cops didn't snag drunk drivers. The FHP alone pulled over 550 Floridians between December 12 and January 2. According to the Sun-Sentinel, 82 arrests came in SoFlo.
4. James Tracy. If the Florida Atlantic University prof has proved anything this week, it's that even a no-name associate faculty member at a mid-range university most of America can't find on the map can be taken seriously as long as he says something offensively stupid. America! We'll see where Tracy takes his wannabe-Zinn act next. Hopefully, this will be the last time we'll have to type his name.

Google chief legal office believes Obama needs to do more to curb NSA spying
Posted By Jeff Belanger On January 28, 2014 @ 11:28 AM In General Tech | 1 Comment
David Drummond has publicly stated that President Obama is not doing enough to change the way the NSA does things.
Drummond, who is Google's chief legal officer, believes that the government needs to alter the way they collect data and that they need to do what they can to gain people's trust in the internet. Or as much trust as they can, since I'm not sure exactly how much people had in it to begin with.
"Let me be clear about it, in general they fall short of where any of the speech and the proposal and the speech fell short of where we'd like to see this go," Drummond said in response to Obama's speech. "But I think it was a first step for the administration, it's not the final word on where this will go, hopefully, we intend to be very engaged in that debate."
"People really need to trust the internet and to trust internet companies and that really underpins a lot of the innovation," he also said. "We've been concerned about the long-term user trust in the internet and what that means for acceptance for new innovations. If you build something great but people are worried or won't try it because they're afraid, then it's not going to work."

SAS Announces Data Stewards Day 'Stewie' Awards
Second annual Data Stewards Day set for October; opportunity to nominate enterprise data heroes
Business analytics leader SAS will again recognize outstanding data stewards through the "Stewie" awards as part of the second annual Data Stewards Day. Scheduled for Oct. 11, the event honors champions of data and everything it represents.
Established in collaboration with the Data Roundtable, the event highlights the integral role of data stewardship in enterprise data management and governance. This year, nominations are open for Data Stewards Day Awards, also known as the "Stewies."
Data Stewards Day honors data management leaders who, despite having a major impact on their companies, receive little recognition. Some actually bear the title of "data steward." Others may simply be known as the person who bridges business and IT through data. Regardless, a data steward is anyone who makes a difference by managing the information that drives an organization forward.
"Bring us the names of those within your enterprise who toil tirelessly to preserve, maintain and value data. The most worthy of them will be appropriately honored by the committee," said Mark Troester, SAS CIO and IT strategist. "And those that don't win the Stewie can take satisfaction in the exemplary good they do their organizations. We salute them all."
Submitting a Stewie nomination
Who deserves a Stewie? A data steward who works hard and loves the job; who knows everything there is to know about the organization's data; who has saved the day by enabling accurate data-driven decisions – maybe more than once.
The Data Steward of the Year will be judged by a panel from the Data Roundtable, a group of data governance, master data management (MDM), data integration and data quality experts, including Jill Dyché, David Loshin, Jim Harris, Phil Simon, Karen Lopez, Joyce Norris-Montanari and last year's Data Steward of the Year, Barbara Deemer of Sallie Mae.
Nominate yourself or a co-worker today
Judges encourage submitters to create a YouTube video that details why the data steward should be appointed to the Data Stewards Hall of Fame. Entries will be judged on creativity, ingenuity and sincerity. The winners will be announced on Data Stewards Day, Oct. 11, 2012.
For more information on Data Stewards Day or to enter go to datastewardsday.com and submit a nomination by Sept. 24. Nominators should provide a detailed explanation of no more than 300 words on why their nominee should win a Stewie.

HopStop CEO Joe Meyer Offers Directions to Brand Central Station
In this Brand Innovator Spotlight, Joe Meyer proves that a big budget isn't necessary to deliver a stellar consumer experience, grow brand ambassadors and go head to head with Google.
Joe Meyer is CEO of HopStop, a location-based service that provides door-to-door mass transit and walking directions in 17 major metropolitan markets throughout North America and Europe. HopStop is able to provide large and small advertisers with hyper-local ad targeting solutions that are scalable as well as turn-key.
Brandon Gutman: How are users finding HopStop?
Joe Meyer: As amazing as it might seem, it's been almost entirely via word-of-mouth. For example, a current HopStop user tells another person who's never heard of HopStop before and 9 times out of 10 that person will highly recommend HopStop. That said, our users are our best form of marketing and their real world testimonials are better than any advertising or PR campaign that we could ever buy. We're very fortunate to have such loyal users who are true ambassadors for our brand. This is how we've grown since day one, and it's how we will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
What's the benefit, if any, from having Google Maps as your primary competitor?
Having Google as your primary competitor is a double-edged sword. To start with, being compared to Google is an amazing compliment. That said, we're proud of how we differentiate ourselves from Google Transit and how we continue to attract-and-retain users in spite of having Google Maps as our primary competitor. As with most markets that Google enters, their presence not only validates the market but often time grows the market as well (thereby allowing competitors to share in that growth). Prior to Google Transit (which is deeply integrated within Google Maps), HopStop was the only company to offer real-time, point-to-point mass transit and walking directions in a large-scale way. Now, Google Maps and HopStop are the only two companies to offer such a service, but there are many companies who are trying to replicate this user experience and finding it quite difficult to do so.
How have you achieved so much brand penetration on a shoestring budget?
By offering a superior service. But underneath that, we're solving a real problem and doing so in a way that's not easily replicable. Prior to HopStop, commuters and travelers were dependent upon physical maps and hard copy transit schedules to figure out how to navigate the myriad of mass transit systems within major cities. And within any one major city there are several different transit agencies, and as a result if someone wanted to get from one part of a metropolitan area to another, they needed to compare and contrast multiple hard copy maps and schedules in order to do so and make sense of them all. HopStop made this experience much easier for commuters by automating the entire process and aggregating all of the disparate transit agency data and in doing so creating one, seamless online user experience. Needless to say, when HopStop launched its first major city (New York City) five years ago, people were extremely happy that someone had finally come-up with a solution to the mass transit maze.
What is your advice to brand builders who need to do more with less?
Wow, that's a tough question because each company and each situation is so different. The best advice I can offer to other brand builders (whether it's a b-to-c brand, or a b-to-b brand) is to focus on solving real problems, and if you're fortunate enough to come-up with a viable solution to a real world problem then do everything possible to build upon the solution and make it better with every passing year so that it's that much harder for your competitors to catch-up to you. The other piece of advice I would have (for start-up brand-builders) is to be as spendthrift as possible and use your funding wisely. Every spare dollar should be re-invested in the business with the goal of hiring great people who can build a great product, and to run the company with an eye towards profitability. All too often start-ups are dependent upon venture capital to meet payroll. But when the venture capital dries-up, there needs to be a real business underneath the covers and one that can meet payroll every two weeks in the absence of outside capital.
What is an example of a recent partnership?
HopStop had been very fortunate to have some great partners and long-term customers including Citysearch, CareerBuilder, LimoRes, MenuPages, Village Voice, New York Daily News, Time Out New York, Duane Reade, Corcoran Real Estate, NY Times and Dunkin Donuts. But one company in particular that comes to mind as being a great "win-win" partner is Connect-by-Hertz (CBH). HopStop and CBH recently launched a co-branded partnership that truly benefits both brands. In a nutshell, HopStop is in the business of providing its users with as many alternative forms of transportation as possible, with the primary one being mass transit. But public transit isn't always the best way to get from point-A to point-B. This is exactly why we partnered with CBH, to offer our users with an alternative to mass transit. Similarly, CBH is all about offering their users convenience and options. Part of that convenience involves getting their users to-and-from their local CBH parking lots and cars. This is where HopStop comes into play (in that HopStop powers local directions on ConnectByHertz.com). And to make the partnership even more of a win-win situation, HopStop and ConnectByHertz are offering complimentary services that appeal to the same demographic - i.e., vibrant, on-the-go urbanites who value convenience. It's been a great partnership to date and we look forward to expanding the relationship ever further in the months and years ahead.
What is your secret to remaining innovative?
The key to remaining innovative is listening to your users instead of trying to replicate and follow competitors. We receive several hundred e-mails from our users each week with each one of them telling us what they like about HopStop and what they don't. And if it's something on which we can improve, they tell us exactly what we can do to make our service better. Too often start-ups get caught-up in what's happening around them (and as a result they try to replicate what other "successful" start-ups are doing instead of doing what's right for their own business). Fads and whims will come-and-go, but start-ups like HopStop can't be distracted by the "external" market. Instead, we have to remain focused on what our customers want and implement whatever it is that will make their lives easier. If we continue to do that then we'll continue to grow, and the rest will take care of itself.

Yesterday would have marked the 65th birthday of one of the most dynamic and talented singer/songwriters of the twentieth century: Freddie Mercury, lead vocalist of Queen. Mercury died twenty years ago this November of AIDS-related pneumonia.
Although it is a trite thing to say, Mercury's and his band's music have carried on with an enormous tenacity. The band's music remain heavily popular, making its way into the soundtracks of movies with an impressive frequency. As far back as the late 1970s, Queen's music has been employed to vitalize film. In honor of the triumphant artists Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor, Hollywood.com has put together a short collection of some of the best uses of Queen's music in cinema.
The Theme Song in Flash Gordon
Flash Gordon was one of the first films to feature Queen's music, and still reigns as the one to do so most prominently. Queen composed and performed the theme song for Flash Gordon, whose titular hero, football star playing for the New York Jets, travels into space and saves the Earth from evil alien emperor, Ming the Merciless. Far more memorable than the movie itself is its theme song. Queen's composition is the musical epitome of hero. The song itself feels like it could save the universe (if need be). And perhaps, someday soon, it will.
"We Are the Champions" in Revenge of the Nerds
And heroism is once again personified by Queen's ballad "We Are the Champions." When the song erupted at the end of Revenge of the Nerds, the entire population of American nerds rejoiced. They had a theme song. They were warriors. They were champions. Other than the fact that some pretty heavy racial objectification leads up to this moment, it's a fond one for movie lovers. The nerds had their revenge, and a festive Queen anthem set the epic mood of this timeless victory.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" in Wayne's World
Wayne's World's triumphant rendition of Queen's unstoppable "Bohemian Rhapsody." Mike Myers and Dana Carvey zoom down the Illinois avenues, rocking out to a cassette tape while striving to keep their friend from vomiting in the car and dreaming about owning a life-changing guitar. "Bohemian Rhapsody" has had countless homages and parodies composed in its honor (including a reasonably entertaining one by the Muppets), but Wayne and Garth have put forth one of our favorites.
"Under Pressure" in Grosse Pointe Blank
The incurably dreamy John Cusack wins our hearts even as a vicious assassin. In Grosse Pointe Blank, Cusack's character decides to turn his life around right in time for his ten year high school reunion. One of Queen's more intimate numbers, "Under Pressure" (recorded with the indestructable David Bowie), chronicles a climactic point in Martin Blank's (Cusack) escalation to decency. As he appreciates, for the first time, pure innocence when asked to hold a former classmate's smiling young baby, "Under Pressure" crescendos, and we all feel a little something we didn't expect.
"We Will Rock You" in A Knight's Tale
As Heath Ledger and his merry men emerged from the woodlands to the tune of Queen's amplifying "We Will Rock You," who among us did not wish, if only for a minute, that he could have been born in Medieval Times? The fun-for-everyone film A Knight's Tale really reached its high point when the stomp-stomp-CLAP refrain pervaded the arena. Knights, royalty, peasants, serfs, dragons... no matter who you are, you cannot resist singing along to "We Will Rock You." And A Knight's Tale paid the never-gets-old rock song palpable respect with its inclusion in the film's climax.
"The Show Must Go On" in Moulin Rouge!
Queen is not only adventurous. They are not only righteous. Queen is also romantic. And Moulin Rouge!, a story of hearts free for the breaking, was the perfect partner for Queen's somber but powerful "The Show Must Go On." Of course, the performance is not done by Queen. Instead, stars Nicole Kidman and Jim Broadbent sing the song in character as cabaret performer and owner (respectively). In a musical inherently about show business, Queen's "The Show Must Go On" (one of the band's wildly unappreciated songs) rings extremely appropriate, illustrating the highs and lows of a, electrifying lifestyle.
"Don't Stop Me Now" (and "You're My Best Friend") in Shaun of the Dead
This is perhaps the most impressive infusion of a Queen song into a movie, primarily because of the choreography, which involves attacking an elderly (yet sturdy) zombie with pool cues in perfect rhythm. Shaun of the Dead's use of the song was both funny and exhilarating, and was possibly the best scene in the entire movie. Cowriters Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg (also the film's director and star, respectively) display a profound love of rock music throughout the movie, and seem to place Queen on a pedestal above the rest. The film closes with a sweet (albeit darkly funny) moment between best friends Shaun and Ed under the greatest friendship song ever written: Queen's "You're My Best Friend."

Management: Recruitment and Selection
The Vacancy Announcement
North Dakota Administrative Code, Chapter 4-07-05, contains various requirements to be aware of during the recruitment process:
4-07-05-04: "An appointing authority shall notify human resource management services of each vacant classified, nontemporary position that the appointing authority intends to fill through external recruitment. The notification must be submitted prior to beginning the recruiting effort and may be in the form of a completed vacancy announcement, letter, or memo and transmitted electronically or by mail. An appointing authority that lists vacancies with job service North Dakota need not provide notification to human resource management services."
4-07-05-05: "When an appointing authority proceeds to fill a vacant classified, nontemporary position through external recruiting, the appointing authority shall ensure that the public has the opportunity to know of and apply for the position..."
4-07-05-05.1: "When an appointing authority proceeds to fill a vacant classified, nontemporary position by recruiting an individual who is a current employee of the appointing authority, the appointing authority shall ensure that all employees occupying classified positions of the appointing authority have the opportunity to know of and apply for the position. An appointing authority may specify a work unit or work units within the agency from which applicants may be considered..."
4-07-05-09(1): "A vacancy announcement may not contain minimum qualifications that are less than the established minimum qualifications on the class description, but it may contain more specific requirements."
Internal Applicants
As you are preparing the job announcement and considering whether to recruit internally and/or externally, look within the agency as a possible source of qualified applicants for your vacant positions. Motivated workers seek and demand growth opportunities for themselves. Take advantage of the situation to see who within your agency qualifies and would welcome and handle increased responsibility.
Temporary employees can be considered as internal applicants if they have been selected on an open and competitive basis at the time of employment to the temporary position. Interns may be considered internal applicants if they have completed a documented internship with the agency within a two-year period immediately prior to the employment date. (NDAC 4-07-05-05.2)
- Vacancy Announcements: What to Include
- Position number and title; and full time, part time or temporary status
- Salary range or hiring range
- Application closing date
- Agency, location of work and whom to contact for more information, including the North Dakota relay number or a TTD number
- Minimum qualifications and any additional preferred qualifications
- Summary of work
- Application procedures and requirements in terms of tests, job demonstrations, etc., including any documentation required by the closing date, i.e. veterans' preference documentation, etc.
- A statement confirming nondiscriminatory intent, such as "Equal Opportunity Employer" or an affirmative action statement
- A notification on whom to contact for accommodation or assistance in the application and interview process
- Including the above items in every vacancy announcement helps ensure consistency in the recruitment aspect of the employment process.
Other Recruitment Sources
In addition to the job announcement system, there are a variety of other sources available to recruit qualified applicants for a position vacancy. The key factor in successful recruitment is to gear the recruitment source to the type of job to be filled. For example, when recruiting for a clerical position, the local market may provide the best source of qualified applicants. Therefore, local advertising or local employment agencies may be the best avenue for finding qualified applicants. For a professional-level position requiring a high degree of specialized knowledge and skill, a regional or national recruitment effort may be the best source to provide a pool of qualified applicants.
- Newspapers and Professional Journals
One of the most common methods for recruiting applicants is through the media - newspapers, trade journals, etc. Careful planning in the content, timing, and location of newspaper ads can generate a large response from qualified applicants.
In planning the content of an ad, you will want to include the same items as those listed in the box on the previous page. Since advertising is not always feasible or cost effective, you may want to include only minimal information and state that a position description or further information is available by contacting your office.
Consider whom it is you want to reach, what it is you want to tell them to draw their interest, and how to do so effectively within the size of the ad and budget limitations. The way the ad looks and reads is a reflection of your agency and the State. Above all, exercise caution so that wording does not violate equal employment opportunity laws and regulations. Do not make references to sex, age, etc., unless a bona fide occupational qualification exists.
Next, consider the best time to run an ad. Ask the newspaper which day is the best to run an ad for a specific job category. Not only is a specific day of the week significant, but the time of year can also be influential in the responsiveness to an ad. For example, major holidays may be times when employment ads don't do well. Also, consider that early March is about the time college graduates begin their job search.
Then consider where to advertise—the location and circulation of the newspaper or the readership of a professional journal.
Finally, newspaper and professional journal advertising can be quite expensive. If you are going to spend a great deal of money in advertising, make sure your ad reads and looks precisely the way you want. Ask to see a proof of your ad prior to publication.
- Combo Ads
Human Resource Management Services coordinates placement of ads from the various state agencies in one central location in the Sunday issue of four major newspapers: The Bismarck Tribune, Minot Daily News, The Fargo Forum, and Grand Forks Herald. The ad is easily recognized by job seekers because of its size and bold headings. The cost of the ad will vary depending on the number of agencies sharing the space of the ad. However, the cost will be five percent less than a regular ad.
If you are interested in placing an ad in Sunday's Combo Ad, contact your agency human resource representative or Human Resource Management Services for details.
- Job Service
Job Service generally recruits for all types of jobs. An advantage is that they have access to a large labor pool and can get a pool of applicants fairly quickly and cost-free to you. They screen and refer as many applicants as you say you want to consider. The caution is that it be stipulated that you wish to consider only applicants who meet the minimum qualifications as stated on the vacancy announcement. If they refer someone who is not qualified, you will need to follow standard procedures on notifying unqualified individuals.
Other sources for recruitment are: job fairs, educational institutions, search firms, professional associations, temporary help agencies, or radio and television ads.
Human Resource Management Services staff is available to assist you or your human resource representative with planning or developing your recruitment strategy.

I've never worked with oak barrel aging before and can't really find much information about it on the web. I have bought a few for different brews I am making. Beer / Ciders/ Wines ect. Firstly, when I get my barrels, should I cure them, and keep them cured till the time I rack my brews into them, Or cure them JUST 24 hours before hand? 2nd, If I am to carbonate my brews (Not keg carb) Would that be something to be done after or before barrel aging? Mainly would carbonation be bad for the wood or affect it in anyway? Lastly, if anyone has any kind of knowledge like barrels 101. It would be deeply appreciated. I don't have very much knowledge of barrels at all. -Cheers and thank you.
Subscribed. Where did you pick up your barrels and how large are they? How much did they cost? I know this is me asking you for info instead of giving it but I am looking to make a purchase as well as learn the ins and outs about how to do it. Thanks Cheers Dave
I can't tell you much about curing, and I've never used oak barrels before. however, I can tell you this: 1) You're going to want to make sure they're clean and sanitized. I'm not 100% sure what you use to clean them with. I have heard a lot of people on here note that for barrel aging, you'll want to add potassium metabisulfite or sodium metabisulfite (i.e. Campden Tablets or a similar product) to your barrels to make sure you don't have any wild yeast (such as Brettanomyces). I would assume this is done as a preliminary step prior to adding your beer, as opposed to in conjunction with your beer, but I'm sure others will come on here and provide this information. 2) Barrel aging is always done PRIOR to carbonating. Generally speaking, barrels are not rated to retain carbonation, so any carbonation in your beer will be gone after aging anyhow, and you might risk damaging the barrel. Theoretically and historically, it is possible to do your primary fermentation in the barrel, but my understanding is that due to the difficulties in cleaning the trub out of the barrels, the current generally accepted practice is to ferment either in your plastic bucket or carboy/better bottle, then transfer the beer to the barrel for bulk aging after fermentation has completed.
Nothing Beats a Fool's Luck . . . and I am the Master Fool.
Hope this helps..http://morewinemaking.com/public/pdf/wobcg.pdfhttp://www.woodinvillewhiskeyco.com/barrels/
Primary: Secondary: Whiskey Barrel: Russian Imperial Stout Bottled:Amber Ale, Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout Drank/Gone: Red Ale
One more question. If I were to have by concoction of choice ready. Already been in secondary for a while. But I wanted to add something. IE pasteurized juice to cider. While it goes into the barrel. Basically to fill the amount of space I have left. Would be be ok to pop a few crushed campden tablets in there to keep safe? Yes, I know pasteurized juice good for that but a factor of being on the safe side. As far as effects of the final product AND the barrel goes.
