I applied through college or university. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Echo Global Logistics in December 2013.
Interview DetailsAt the career fair Echo found me, and boy did they want me...bad. I got emails, text messages, and phone calls inquiring when they could set up an interview with me. This was nice; it made me feel wanted and smart!!!

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Echo Global Logistics in November 2013.
Interview DetailsContacted by recruiter through email, telephone interview scheduled. Typical phone interview, discussing background and experience. Contacted a few days later by email to schedule a personal interview with branch manager. It first started with me discussing my background, education, and experience, but then turned more into an information session by the interviewer on the industry and company with few specific questions to me about my experience, skills, or ability to perform the job. I should have taken this as a red flag that he wasn't interested in me, but felt positive when he then had me shadow a sales rep for about an hour. I met every employee in the building, all of which appeared to be well under the age of 30, including the manager. Since I am about 20 years older than everyone in the building, I got the feeling that my age was going to an issue. This suspicion was somewhat validated when the manager came out of his office and quickly escorted me out with little further discussion. I had suspected he was on the phone with the hiring manager in Chicago while I was shadowing the sales rep. His tone had changed and all he told me was that the recruiter would be in touch the following week. I waited until the end of the following week and then emailed the recruiter asking for an update. A few hours later I got the canned rejection form letter email stating that they "decided to pursue other candidates whose credentials better fit their needs". I know that their interview process also consists of phone interviews with the hiring manager and the VP of sales after the first personal interview. I never got that chance, and I don't believe it had anything to do with my credentials, which includes 14 years of sales and sales management experience, well more than the recent college grads that they seek. If you do your research on this company, you will see that they boast on the fact that they are a young, Gen Y environment. Try and find an over 40 person, or even over 30, in any of their office party and group photos. The recruiter should have been aware of my approximate age by the work history on my resume and not even had contacted me in the first place if I didn't fit their mold. I find it humiliating and disrespectful to have prepared so hard for that interview and not have been given a fair chance for the job by getting a proper interview and the opportunity for further interviews. I asked the recruiter by email for an explanation of what was lacking in my credentials according to the rejection letter, but got no response. I can't prove that I was rejected for my age, but I also don't believe it had anything to do with my credentials in the sense of sales experience, education, and record of success. Not compared to the 20 somethings that they obviously prefer to hire, anyways.
Interview Questions- None really, interviewer did most of the talking and didn't ask me much Answer Question
No OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview - Interview Details
I had a phone interview that was terrible. The lady who gave me the interview was just so unwelcoming and unexcited. You could literally tell she was reading every question off a sheet of paper and would keep saying, "good, ok. great" after every answer. She doesn't make me want to work for them. Bad first impression.
Interview Questions- Why sales? Answer Question
No Offer - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at Echo Global Logistics in October 2013.
Interview DetailsI was contacted by a Recruiter a couple days after applying to the website and we set up a phone interview for a couple weeks later. The interview was very conversational. Went into the office and sat with a rep to get a better understanding of the position. The "final" phone interview with a senior manager in Chicago seemed like it was more of an informational call and they already knew they were extending me an offer by that point.
Interview Questions- Tell me about yourself. Answer Question

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a day – interviewed at Echo Global Logistics in October 2013.
Interview DetailsTelephone Interview with contract recruiter representing the company. The person was not prepared and first ignored a previously scheduled interview and then re-scheduled after I sent an email about the originally scheduled interview. The interview was the most offensive I have encountered in my 30+ years work experience. I was told I may not be "modern" enough so beware if you are over 40 years of age. If you take a look at their website you will find most employees are much younger.

Application DetailsI applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Echo Global Logistics in September 2013.
Interview DetailsYou meet with the branch manager initially, and he ask about your life, experience, what you expect from Echo. You then sit with one of the tenured reps to get a feel for the job. After that you sit with the rest of the managers in the office, and they ask for formal interview questions
Interview Questions- This job is a grind with many sales calls and late nights/early mornings needed to truly succeed. View Answer
Negotiation DetailsStandard base, and there's a little wiggle room to negotiate.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview - Application Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Echo Global Logistics in September 2013.
Interview DetailsContacted by in-house recruiter on Linked-In regarding a Senior .Net Developer Position, and had a screen interview. Called back and spoke to head of recruiting department. After a few days, I was told I didn't have enough experience for the position, as I expected, and they would keep in touch. A month later I get contacted again to see if I was interested in a "mid-range position" since they had a hard time filling the Senior role. I agree and the next week, I had a in-person meeting with a Senior Developer, a Applications Manager, and 2nd level managers.
1st part was technical, with a guy asking things like "What kinds of joins are there?" and "What is the difference between an abstract and an interface?", basic .Net questions. This went fine, since it was easy and he seemed pretty relaxed about it.
2nd part was "culture" I am guessing, because the person I spoke too had a BA background. I was just asked basic questions about my previous jobs, favorite project, issues I have had, and so forth.
3rd was the only part I was iffy on, as it was just a discussion, which involved me having to explain my thought process on projects I had worked on, and to point out why I should have gone other routes, possible issues with that implementation, and so forth. Only thing I noticed is that he kept looking at his watch the whole interview, but he could have had a meeting. Other than that, I thought it went well.
4th part was just odd, as it was another second level manager who didn't make eye contact with me, only reading things off my resume and taking notes. It was awkward, but I saw no issue with anything I said during the process. At the end, he shook my hand, and made eye contact, for what seemed like a good 5-7 seconds, which I have to admit, through me off.
That was the onsite process, I get called the next week letting me know they didn't want to move forward and make me an offer, because I didn't go into enough detail and didn't seem to be strong enough technically for the position. Conversation finished with they would be in touch if anything else came up, because they thought "I was a great guy!"
Thinking about it now, I think what did me in was a mix of the technical and 3rd part of the interview. I could have gone into deeper details with the technical questions instead of giving stock answers, maybe talking about effect of idea or what have you, more or less I should have relayed my knowledge better.
I still think they were looking for a Senior type person (I have about 4 years of experience), but couldn't find one cheap enough, so they were hoping to get lucky with a senior level developer making less money somewhere else.Interview Questions- Tell me about what you have done with WCF View Answer

Accepting the extended personal invitation of Gov. Mitt Romney, Lorrie Morgan performed at the first 2012 Republican rally setting the stage for Gov. Romney's public address before more than 6,000 supporters in Denver, Colorado early last week.
Morgan appeared at Romney's first rally "Wings Over The Rockies" on Monday, October 1, 2012 held at The Air & Space Museum in Denver. She hailed our country with her rendition of the national anthem and performed her hits
"I Didn't Know My Own Strength" and "Except For Monday." Her closing performance of "Trilogy" moved the audience to tears and a standing ovation in adoring admiration.
Morgan, who is recognized as Country royalty and a renaissance woman of the genre, is openly devoted to Americans across the country and abroad. She is applauded for her demonstrated patriotic support of our troops and our country. Morgan has performed on multiple occasions for our troops and for the benefit of our brothers and sisters of service. In December 2011, Lorrie was called upon, along with a list of Hollywood notables and American heroes, to perform at Christmas Concert For The Troops—an annual holiday concert in honor of active duty military—at our nation's capital. The celebration is held each year purely in gratitude and recognition of the men and women who serve on behalf of our country."I am very proud of this country," Morgan said. "But, as a business and working woman...a mother...a grandmother...I, too, have seen the tragedy; not just on newsstands, but in the eyes of my family, friends and fans. My ambition and motivation is to celebrate the spirit that this country was built upon and reunite us as a working nation—to stand together as patriots...as Americans...to regain our hope and our strength."
Bringing Hollywood flair to the country music format, Lorrie Morgan is a decorated music legend who has celebrated three
No. 1 hits: "Five Minutes," "What Part Of No" and "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" in addition to more than 25 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. Lorrie Morgan has played parts on Broadway and in theater; she's recorded duets with Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis,
A second rally appearance by Ms. Morgan is anticipated later this month. For more information about Lorrie Morgan, please visit her website at www.Lorrie.com.
Well there went your White House invite, Hank.
Yeah, like that was really coming any time soon.
Hank Williams is back to his old Obama bashing ways and according to the Des Moines Metromix (via THR), on Friday decided to tell fans at the Iowa State Fair how he really felt.
"We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"
Apparently the crowd loved it and responded with cheers.
Of course, these comments are no surprise since Hank made similar ones in last month's Rolling Stone interview where he said, "I mean, the guy is the worst. Giveaway programs, hates America in the first place, forget about the flag."
Then there was last year when Hank got fired from his long-running 'Monday Night Football' gig after telling Fox & Friends that House Speaker John Boehner playing golf with the president was "like Hitler playing golf with [Israel Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu."
Then on his newest album 'Old School, New Rules', there's a song called Take Back Our Country where there's a line that says, "Hey Barack pack your bags, head to Chicago, take your teleprompter with you so you'll know where to go."
I don't know. Freedom of speech is one thing, but am I the only one who thinks that Hank could use a little more discretion in his opinions to at least keep himself from sounding like a complete nut?
Yeah, that'll probably happen about the same time he gets an invite to the White House for tea with the president.
Well now this has certainly taken an interesting turn.
As I told you a couple of days ago, comedienne Roseanne Barr has decided to try her hand at politics and is currently seeking the Green Party nomination for President of the United States. Girl was serious enough to have landed a spot on California's ballot for the state primary in June.
Well after successfully getting started in her new political career, Roseanne decided that the perfect running mate would be none other than Willie Nelson. After tweeting Willie several times asking him to be her vice presidential candidate, Willie finally tweeted back a polite thank you but no thank you.
You would have thought that would be the end of the story, but then you'd be wrong. After a day or two of thought, Willie apparently changed his mind and decided that he wound in fact make a great vice president and tweeted to Roseanne:
@TheRealRoseanne I would be happy to run w u After thinking about it awhile it kept sounding better Are u still interested? Love, Willie
Holy crap, what???
I think Roseanne sort of thought the same thing because she seemed rather excited with Willie's change of heart, tweeting back:
WILLIE I THANK GOD FOR YOU!! May intelligence help us save our country!! BARR/NELSON2012
So now Willie Nelson's running for office with Roseanne Barr. Wow.
But wait, not so fast!
Shortly after accepting the job, Willie wrote back:
@TheRealRoseanne I see u are speaking to some1 else regarding ur vp running mate I know whoever ur choice is they will be happy to serve w u
@TheRealRoseanne Im not ready 2 get n2 politics I have stayed away this long I am content 2 sit on the sidelines & criticize every1 else
@TheRealRoseanne Good luck with your campaign. Love, Willie
Okay, I have just one thing to say....hahahahaha. I'm honestly thinking Willie may have did a little casual tweeting while he was engaged in his favorite plant-based past time before waking up and wondering what the hell he'd gotten himself into.
That or Snoop Dogg took over his Twitter as a joke.
Roseanne apparently wondered something similar because she tweeted back:
@willienelson wtf??? I told EVERYONE THAT YOU ACCEPTED, DUDE! you can't back out now! Your country needs you!
Roseanne took to groveling, begging, and direct messaging Willie but there's no word yet on whether she's gotten her running mate back or not.
You can (and definitely should) check out the whole funny conversation here.
Photos courtesy of Willie Nelson and Roseanne Barr's Twitter accounts
Well now this is entertaining.
Did you hear that Roseanne Barr (yes, that Roseanne) has thrown her hat into the presidential race? Well she has. Back in February, the comedienne announced via her Twitter account that she was running for president and would be seeking the Green Party nomination.
And she wasn't kidding, promptly filing the proper paperwork to make everything legit and even made it onto California's ballot for the state primary in June.
Well, like any good presidential candidate (and tweeter), Roseanne decided to pick a running mate and announce it via Twitter.
On Monday, Roseanne tweeted, "My Vice President will be announced at the debate in San Francisco this Saturday. I want Willie Nelson as Vice President."
Then she sent a few tweets directed at Willie who finally tweeted back his decision not to join her on the campaign trail - "Thank you but no thank you. Good luck to you!"
Awww, what a bummer. So far Roseanne hasn't taken to her Twitter account to try and wrangle up a new running mate, although I'm pretty sure John Goodman's free.
I have a confession to make....I don't follow politics.
I know, I know, how utterly un-American. I should be ashamed and trust me, I am.
But what I do follow is late night comics and Gawker.com, so I have to say that while my knowledge of presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann is limited, I do find the things she does both scary and hilarious.
I also have to say, though, no matter how scary and hilarious I may rightly or wrongly find Congresswoman Bachmann, I can't fault her choice in music.
Politico.com is reporting that Michele Bachmann has hired - or borrowed or begged or whatever it is that political people do to get singers to attend their events - Randy Travis to perform at an upcoming Iowa political thingy mcbobber.
The upcoming Iowa Straw Poll will be a little bit country thanks to Michele Bachmann. The Republican presidential candidate announced on Tuesday that country music star Randy Travis will perform at the event, along with country artists Richie McDonald and Tim Rushlow and Christian singer Charles Billingsley.
"I am a huge Randy Travis fan and I am honored he will be with us on August 13 to help make this day fun and meaningful for our supporters and their families, as well as to encourage all straw poll attendees, regardless of their candidate of choice, to come together to help support Iowa's returning military veterans," Bachmann said in a press release.
Team Bachmann also promises to provide barbecue, beverages and an air-conditioned tent.
You can find out more about the Iowa Straw Pole here.
Teapot Party picture via www.teapotparty.org
Back a few months ago Willie Nelson was arrested for pot possession.
Then he got off with a slap on the wrist for his pot possession.
Then Willie got all political and started the Teapot Party in the hopes of getting America's leaders to come over to his way of thinking and legalize pot.
Because, darn it, Willie's getting tired of being arrested for his recreational habits.
Okay, I made that last part up.
Anyway, today it's been widely reported that Willie and his Teapot party had picked their first candidate to endorse for president - former New Mexico Republican Gov. Gary Johnson, a man apparently after Willie's own heart when it comes to marijuana legalization.
But now it seems Willie's had a change of heart and doesn't want to endorse anyone because he thinks we should all grow up, grow a set, and pick our own damn candidates.
Okay, I made that last part up too, but Willie does want us to use our brains, follow our hearts, and pick who we want to pick.
From Celeb Stoner:
Willie then wrote back: "The Teapot Party is millions of people. It's not me. I jokingly said after I got out of jail in Texas that there is a Tea Party and there should be a Teapot Party. The difference between us is we follow our own drummer. No one can tell us how to think. If we back someone that's us telling them how to vote. I'm not qualified. You can say or do anything you like and I will do the same but let's don't back a political candidate. Let's give our opinions and say what we know about everyone but let's let everyone decide for themselves."
"I still say that the people have the power to change things and they will if they vote.," Nelson replied. "The Teapot Party started as a joke but it could still be a way for people to speak out about important things. I am not a criminal. The millions of pot smokers in this country are not criminals. We don't like being treated as such and I for one will stand up for what I believe in and will vote for anyone I choose. You should do the same. We are not ever going to agree on everything and everybody. The best advice I ever got was from my ex father-in-law. He said take my advice and do what you want to. End of story."
I feel such an affinity with Willie right now - I have the same problem with people taking me far more seriously than I take myself.
Willie did have one final thing to say about the predicament: "This will blow over and the world moves on. No harm done. We sound like a bunch of pot smokers, that's all."
So there you go, study up and pick who you feel is the right candidate for you and your beliefs. A wise man, that Willie Nelson.
Remember way back when when Obama was still just the wannabe president and the every-working-man Joe The Plumber made the scene and suddenly everyone was talking about this man who supposedly represented the hard-working, blue-collar, tax-paying man? Then about a week before the election news hit that Joe was looking into releasing a country CD.
Then he just sort of disappeared.
Well Joe the Plumber is back. Please, hold your applause.
Joe is actually back in sort of a big way....at least for a day. The every-day-working-man-representative will be hitting the the stage in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on June 26th at the Ford Center for the third stop on the Taking Our Country Back Tour. Also appearing at that tour stop will be John Rich and talk show host Glenn Beck
"Growing up, my dad regularly had me read the newspaper," said Joe. "With the dictionary right next to me, every time I didn't know a word he would say, 'Look it up.' That is part of my message to the American people: Stop listening to other people and 'Look it up!' You were blessed to be born in this country, with this blessing comes responsibility. "
"We need to elect 'Americans' not Republicans or Democrats," said Joe.
As for the country CD Joe had hopes of, I'm still not sure what happened to that whole project, but somehow I have a feeling we may soon be finding out.
For more information regarding the tour go to www.takingourcountrybacktour.com/index.html.
Oh those country singers just can't stay away from the political scene. From Tim McGraw mulling over a run for Tennessee governor to Gretchen Wilson and John Rich performing for the Glenn Beck Taking Our Country Back Tour, country stars love getting involved in the political process.
This go around, though, things are a little different because it's not someone just considering a run and it's not someone performing for someone else's political rally, it's a country singer with an actual political platform and honest to goodness political aspirations.
Roughstock is reporting that Sammy Kershaw is running for Lt. Governor of Louisiana.
"This is the 'Real People Campaign.' I am running for the average, hardworking citizens of this state, who are tired of career politicians and political insiders using this seat, and their taxpayer dollars, as a place to bide their time until they can run for some other position. The primary responsibility of the Lt. Governor is to serve as Louisiana's Ambassador. This job is about introducing the unique people, culture and heritage of this state. I have been in the promotion business my entire career and no one is more qualified to do this job than I am. It's time the people have someone in this position who not only can do the job, but wants the job," said Kershaw.
Sammy ran for the same office back in 2007.
So do you think Sammy will perform at his own rallies or will he get some famous friends to help him out? Hmmm.
You can read more on Sammy on his website at www.sammykershaw2010.com.
John Rich has been a strong supporter of Sarah Palin for years now. He's done appearances, concerts, hosted shindigs, etc. for Sarah and her running mate John McCain and various other Republican politicians along the way.
Sarah Palin has a new Fox News show debuting on Thursday called "Real American Stories."
One of Sarah's first guests is.......Toby Keith.
Thanks John for all your support, now let's see if Toby's free.
Oh, I'm sure there's no animosity, I just like to find the drama in every situation, it makes things a bit more interesting around here.
And speaking of John and politics, he will be headlining this year's Tax Day Tea Party rally at the Hendersonville City Hall on April 15. More info here if interested.
Thanks Sarah for all your politicking, now let's see if George W.'s available.
He he.
I'm sure there's a joke in here somewhere, you betcha.
John Rich and Gretchen Wilson are set to perform on March 13 at the Tulsa Convention Center as part of Glenn Beck's Taking Our Country Back tour, which John Rich helped to plan.
Also attending the rally will be ex Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Tickets for the rally and concert cost from $45 to $100.
John Rich will also attend a second rally (though probably minus Sarah and Gretchen) in April in Kansas City and if the two "tour" stops are successful then up to 10 more events are being planned.
I must be joked out today because I honestly can't come up with nothin'. Sorry to let you all down.

Time Traveling Kids of the Mane Six! Ch. 9 CHAPTER 9: Welcome to the Past (First draft. Final version in the works)Zecora's eyes snapped awake and her body jerked from the sound of twigs snapping outside of her house, nearly making her fall out of bed. Twilight and her friends visited often but she was not expecting visitors at sunrise. Whatever was outside was either trying to break in or was in need of help. Getting up, the zebra made her way to the door slowly, ready for any intruder who may cross her path. Anything could be in the Everfree Forest and she was too smart to take chances. Listening carefully, she could hear voices outside."Yes, Flora, I think we are in the past." a voice whispered in mid-conversation. "Whatever my brother did, it caused a chain reaction that sent us all through time.""But how far back?" a small squeaky voice asked. That one must have been "Flora.""Look at the decorations around the hut. My mom said she donated some of these masks to a museum because they were significant artifacts.
Time Traveling Kids of the Mane Six! Ch. 11 CHAPTER 11: Shelter (First draft. Final version in the works)The sun continued to rise slowly in the morning chill and the frigid draft of the wind blew through the apple trees of the Apple family. The rumble of thunder echoed in the distance while it whistled around Radiance, making her want to curl into a tight ball. She couldn't hear anything, open her eyes, or move more than a little, but she could feel the bitterness of the breeze down to her bones. Her body shivered and her mind could not think of anything but the cold, as if ice had frozen her in place. Slowly, her senses began to return, and only when the crackle of a small fire could be heard and felt did she relax. Her heavy eyes opened narrowly, watching the blurred movements of the amber sparks in front of her. Their dim glowing air patterns danced before her before rising up into the air and disappearing in the small plume of grey smoke. A figure poked at the smoldering wood, keeping it alive and preventing the w

Why is it that I had 60-70 fps playing on the bootcamped windows, but only about 30 fps when I play the mac client? I am playing on a 2010 macbook pro. Any help would be great.
Disable shadows, they always cause performance problems in mac games. From there, just slowly dial down quality settings until its up to your standards.
ok thank you
I tried it and it only went up like 5 fps
They have optimized yet is my guessing. Took guild wars 2 sometime to fix it too.
Set the FPS to High Framerate. This helped me immediately. Went from bogging up and down around 60-20 fps to 60 fps all the time.
Junior Member
maybe you have vsynch on in mac and not in windows... btw I can use everything at very high (inc shadows) and get higher fps and better quality than on windows (in bootcamp) I always run benchmark for frame rate
ive had the same problem
Just tried that, turned everything on medium and changed fps to benchmark, and I'm getting 80 fps with the 512mb gt330m. Earlier I was averaging 50 fps, fully low settings and 60 fps cap. Vsync off of course

Aaron Kahlow | January 21, 2010 | Comments
The discovery process of quality content unfolds, as social media starts to control the flow of content to the end consumer.
One of the most interesting trends to watch unfold is the discovery process of quality content. Many take for granted how they find content or what they default to as good content sources, but if you look closer you'll see that social media (specifically, social networks) and UGC-based ratings and reviews are starting to control the flow of content to the end consumer. And every marketer, PR professional, publisher, blogger, and agency should take note.
Back in the Day, Gutenberg Reigned Supreme
When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, the age of information dissemination changed forever. Those who had the money and influence to own a printing press dominated the landscape of common thinking because all that was read was their content. The Bible benefited tremendously from this as it was one of the first to be widely distributed as a result of the church's power and coffers. Later in history, you can look at the influence folks like Benjamin Franklin had on America, writing under a specific pen name and distributing his thoughts about society in a way that only a handful of others at the time could.
Even today, most of us get our information from the handful of big publishers that have dominated the space for so long. The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times being the grand example for news -- few others outside of some local tribune publications are so widely read.
The flow of information was, and still is, controlled by a few companies that have particular agendas (political and profit based). Moreover, those publications also have a small group of journalists who submit stories to one or two editors who then decide what becomes a story and what doesn't. That is serious power and a virtual "dam" to the flow of information, where only a small portion trickles through.
Google Replacing Gutenberg
Over the past decade, Google's rise in search dominance has also been the rise in information flow dominance. The major publications still have a loyal base of readers that will come back time and time again, but those looking for new information, those who are curious to see what else is out there, those who are just beginning to absorb information (i.e., Gen Y), and those simply frustrated with the lack of objectivity or quality of publications will start at Google.
Google has become the ultimate starting point and, in turn, the flow of information has opened up more, but it's still far from breaking the walls of the dam. In fact, Google could be considered its own dam with just a few more exit points. With only 10+ organic results and a similar number of paid results, consumers will only find content they seek in those 20 places -- with less than 20 percent being relevant as it relates to information they seek.
Social Media Slowly Removing the Dam
Social media is the "dam buster." We can now get good information through tweets of those we follow, Facebook Sharing, and from others within our networks who are usually connected online.
We have a new discovery outlet and a new way to find stories, whether mainstream or from an unknown blogger. We find things based on recommendations of trusted colleagues, friends, etc.
In addition to this happening in a social network, it also happens in e-mail. Many of the larger ESPs will tell you that the "share this" buttons, links, or applications inside an e-mail usually have the highest CTRs (define). Meaning, most use such to re-disseminate good content they read in an eNewsletter.
Another non-Google, non-Gutenberg source of information is ratings and reviews. You can go to information sites, vendor sites, blogs, and social networks and see what people are saying (e.g., Digg, Stumble Upon) and aggregate which articles or content they like best.
Now we're talking -- content found by the people for the people. Sounds like a new "Content Bill of Rights."
Now, how do we apply this?
Even the big publications, which have everything to lose, understand this. When The New York Times allows you to share an article on LinkedIn (the deal they did earlier this year) or the walled garden of The Wall Street Journal allows you to review an article -- they're saying "please share our stuff" on the place you actually find us -- the social networks and social media sharing sites.
What it Means for 2010 and Beyond
On the whole, consumers will control content flow. If a good article is out there, it will be found, shared, and read, even if it's just on a corporate blog. It means that the quality of writing will be raised, because now every journalist will be competing with every other journalist (not just the handful inside their own publication) for attention, and the reader will decide whose content is worth rating high, sharing with friends, or posting on their Facebook wall.
It won't all happen immediately, but the rise of the journalist (professional or amateur) will happen at the same pace as the fall of the publisher. Independents that syndicate widely and freely will win at first and then be able to charge publications for its content or share in revenue. Marketing professionals who wish to get in the flow of this need only publish a blog that has good content written by themselves and aggregate other great content to fill the gaps.
In the end, the winner is content. Good content, sharable content, and consumer-driven content will allow us all to have a broader spectrum of information and, for the marketer, an easier way to connect with their base.

"These announcements are beautiful. On the front, I used a picture of my daughter taken on a creamy white blanket, and the full-bleed use of the photo with the gray text and light doily embellishments was lovely. I received several compliments. I do not think a photo with a darker background would work well with this design. On the back, I chose to use two smaller photos with captions on the simple white/cream background. In the captions, I wrote about why we chose her name since she is named after my late father and my husband's grandmother. It looked clean and was easy to read, and people responded well to that personalized touch. I also chose to use the matte paper so that I could write notes on the back, and it worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this design, but I would caution anyone that only certain photos will work well with the design elements on the front."
"Loved how easy it was to drag and drop photos! Customization process was very user friendly and everyone loved how our announcement turned out. The card looked great and felt great! Loved that it felt like a good quality product and not a cheap price of paper. I definitely recommend this product!"
"I cannot even tell you how many complimens we received on this birth announcement! It was so wonderful to get that feedback. They are even nicer in person. I would describe them as pretty, elegant and delicate. We did almost identical to the stock photo (grey back drop with white trim and our photo was 'naked' baby with white flower headband that somewhat matched the trim on the cards). Oh- and I ordered at 10 pm on a Wednesday and they were at my door step Friday afternoon! Just wonderful and am so, so pleased with our order and Tiny prints!"
"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"
"Everyone loved our cards, it came out better than we imagined. The customer service was top notch! I enjoyed working with Tiny prints for our first newborn announcement cards. Exceptional quality and great service!!"

Kipp Snow @KippSnow and Brandi Ulrich @BrandiUlrich
Anne Arundel Community College
Open Educational Resources = OER
Why use it?
OER used in Face to face class
EOR Used for Flipped Classroom in Face to Face
Helped instructors to assess student learning
Did a Pre-Survey before class started
Used Survey Monkey at beginning and end of course
Student preferences:
What do you think about not having a textbook?
Positive comments from students– text books are expensive, easier, interested in concept
Negative comments from students– rather have book, harder to take notes, hassle to use technology
Used a range of OERs
What was the process of collecting resources? {Love comments on how to do this...}

Help with childcare costs
1. Childcare tax credits
You may be able to get extra tax credits to help with childcare costs, if you're a working parent.
Single parents must work 16 hours or more a week to get childcare tax credits.
Couples must both work 16 hours or more a week. But only one of you has to work these hours if the other is:
- entitled to carer's allowance
- in hospital or prison
- getting certain benefits, credits or reductions for disability or illness - eg Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payment or a disability premium for Housing Benefit
The maximum you can get for childcare costs is £122.50 a week for 1 child, or £210 a week for 2 or more children.

About how the Pa. gov was supposedly snubbed at the 1992 Democratic convention because he clashed with the party over abortion. The Carpetbagger Report details the mythology and warns of upcoming references.
CNN has hired to pontificate about the conventions. Was Newt Gingrich not available to join the CNN team?
Dowd is furious the Democrats have language in their platform that condemns sexist media coverage and that points out "demeaning portrayals of women ... dampen the dreams of our daughters."
While explaining his newspaper's coverage of the John Edwards affair story, Raleigh's News & Observer editor John Drescher noted, "We've had a poor relationship with Edwards and his top staffers for years. Among other things, they were unhappy about our stories about his new house outside Chapel Hill, his expensive haircuts and his change in political philosophy from one presidential campaign to another."
Hmm, why would Edwards and his aides have been unhappy with the News & Observer's haircut coverage? Hint: It's because the paper returned to the topic 49 times in the last 15 months, according to Nexis.
It doesn't know how to analyze it's own poll data, claims Bill Scher at OurFuture.org.
Says SF's BeyondChron.org.
Slight push detected on Capitol Hill for a federal shield law in the wake of FBI agents collecting reporters' phone records.
AmericaBlog poses the question.
Nightline's exclusive with Edwards Friday night produced no ratings gain for the news program.
Today's example: Howard Kurtz. The Daily Howler details the absurdities when Kurtz puts a McCain spot under the microscope.

So sad. Joan Rivers is on life support following her hospitalization on Aug. 28, according to a new report. Her family will undoubtedly have difficult decisions to make in the days to come.
Joan Rivers, 81, is now on life support to stay alive after she stopped breathing during throat surgery on Aug. 28, a new report claims. The family remains optimistic that she will pull through, but will have to decide soon if they will keep her on life support.
Joan Rivers On Life Support — Report
Joan's condition has made her solely dependent on machines, TMZ reports. The 81-year-old was rushed to the hospital on Aug. 28 after she went into cardiac arrest during surgery. She was reportedly put in a medically induced coma, Daily Mail reports.
The comedienne is surrounded by her family, who will have to make a decision about her in the next couple of days, a source told the outlet. Her family believes that if they opt to turn off life support, she will continue to fight.
Joan Rivers: Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne & More Celebs Pray For Star
Joan's daughter, Melissa Rivers, recently released a statement about her mother's condition. She said that Joan was "resting comfortably" and thanked everyone for the "love and support."
Joan Rivers: Melissa Rivers To Make Decisions Concerning Mom's Health
HollywoodLife.com previously reported that Melissa would be making any and all decisions concerning her mother's health. As expected, we learned that Melissa is "freaking out" over the situation."The long weekend is going to be very challenging and trying," our source said. Melissa is very close to her mother. We can't imagine how hard this must be.
Seth Rogen, Mike Tyson & More Send Heartbreaking Messages To Joan Rivers
Melissa released another statement on behalf of her mother to E! News on Aug. 29. "My mother would be so touched by the tributes and prayers that we have received from around the world," she said in the statement. "Her condition remains serious but she is receiving the best treatment and care possible. We ask that you continue to keep her in your thoughts as we pray for her recovery."
Our thoughts remain with Joan and her family during this difficult time.

So many stupid people leaving stupid comments! And the spelling!! Her name is Joan, NOT "Jone". Do none of you know the difference between "your" and "you're"? My favorite semi-literate comment is about Joan being "incubated"….. it's "intubated". Incubation is for preemies and chickens. I am also praying for Joan's recovery…. and then wonder: does she really want to live in this world filled with illiterate fools?

This sucks, so heartbreaking. Had a feeling that it was not good. I even emailed myself to watch the 90 minute fashion police on Monday. Joan is legendary and my prayers go out to her and Melissa and Cooper. If she cannot get well, I know she would want to be with Rodney. Then they can definitely say, there goes the neighborhood!

I am saved by the grace of God. "for by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works (our own good works or our own righteousness) lest any man boast". so, ex libris, you can be saved by believing in Christ. "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life". so, I bet you would like to spend eternity in heaven with the Lord instead an eternity in hell without Him. one day every person will believe in Christ…better to believe now. and back to joan rivers, I pray that if she hasn't already, will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. life is short. we were made for eternity. prepare to meet God.

text: Well, I pretty much hoped I had more time to prepare for this, but since Randy brought it up here we go. (gonna be a long one...) Randy McMurchy wrote: > > In my opinion, the book should represent the proper build order > more than an alphabetical order. > +1 !! I spend the last couple of weeks thinking about the order in which things are beeing build. Like Randy already pointed out I too would like to have a step by step kind of build. My posts regarding the movement of openssh to secuity and the swapping of libmng and lcms point to this direction. I know not every dependency could be met, but at least the whole process could be more intuitive... When reading the following please keep in mind that I only build a subset of the packages (the ones I need for my system) and so there is quite a chance this messes up with somebody elses way of building - so don't tear my head of and see this as a first draft. Here's what I would very much like to see: 1.: (easy) The in-one-chapter order of packages should be in a as-good-as-possible dependency meeting state (This is what Randy said about gcc for example) 2.: (quite easy) move chapter 11 (SysUtils) to before chapter 8 for some packages are required by the packages in chapters 8-10. If I'm not mistaken this should only mess with the "MC" req. of "glib". 3.: (medium) move the packages not requiring "X" from the multimedia section either to chapter 9 or to a new one (maybe "multimedia libraries"?). This gains some clearity for people not wanting any X on their system. 4.: (medium) move the rest of the multimedia section (e.g. the packages requiring "X") between building X and KDE/GNOME so the multimedia requirements of the latter could be met (I'm actually using KDE but I think this would help GNOME to) I know this messes a little with the organized strucure of the book, but I think it would help. After all this is just a first draft und needs a lot more thinking... To keep the structure of the book a little more easy to comprehend, I would favor a reorganisation to a 4-part book with every part having the same structure, meaning: Split the book into "libraries/console-tools", "X/x-apps", "KDE/KDE-apps", "GNOME/GNOME-apps" in general and have maybe "security", "utils", "programming", "multimedia", "networking" and alike chapters in every part and some specific chapters in only one part like "content serving" in "console-tools". This again is a little rough but maybe it makes the people really good at this (yes you) think about it and come up with a better idea :-) OK, folks, that's it. Hope I don't grasp a hornet's nest and also my head is still where it belongs tomorrow :-) G'Night, Torsten.

Before I had a computer, before I had satellite TV I thought I was the only person that thought george bush was a mad man. But when I got all these neat toys I see and hear now that I have a lot of company in the way I think. Its to bad more people to not take the time to learn who thay are voteing for and do more reading and learning about the person who is going to be running there lifes and the world for years.
