There are implications for e-commerce in Shazam's TV-integrated marketing service.
Over the past few months I've noticed the Shazam logo popping up on my TV screen. Shazam is a web-based service available via an app on tablets and smartphones that, when activated, identifies music tracks by name and artist. It's for those times when you hear a song playing and wish you knew who sang it, basically. The app uses the speakers on your smartphone or tablet and listens to the song for a few seconds and then gives you the artist, song and album info. You can then click through and buy the track on iTunes and elsewhere. I'd bought a few songs that way.
That was the extent of my knowledge of Shazam until its logo popped up, seemingly randomly and for about 30 seconds at a time, on a TV show I DVR. It got me wondering, then wondering more because I realized the scenes on the show that coordinated with the logo pop-up didn't contain music. So I grabbed my iPad from my coffee table and launched the Shazam app I used for identifying music just to see what would happen. It listened to the audio coming from my TV and then connected me to a web page about "Being Human," the show I was watching from my DVR at least a week after it aired live. The page showed me clips from upcoming episodes, a car ad and some sweepstakes entry form. It did also have a list of songs played in the episode, which I could then buy.
It got me thinking about selling opportunities, and I'm sure the marketers behind the show are thinking about them too. How about selling me DVDs of season one? How about selling me that jacket the character is wearing, and so on? The content of the page wasn't there quite yet, but you can see where this is going. It holds potential for TV networks, advertisers and, with the right retailer partnerships, e-commerce. After all, I didn't watch a single TV commercial during that show, since I skipped past them with my DVR, but I did see what was in the app and I'm predisposed to buying online.
Shazam Entertainment Ltd. raised $32 million in venture funding last year to develop the TV advertising-online hook. Yesterday it announced all the remaining episodes of this year's "American Idol" will be Shazam-enabled. People who tap into it will be able to see and buy the songs finalists performed, read Twitter tweets and post to Facebook from the app. I can't imagine it'll be long before the show's sponsors, which include Coca-Cola and AT&T, and other advertiser will figure a way to get in on this aspect of couch commerce.

Let the voting begin. This poll will close on Tuesday evening.
Redszone's Top Prospects:
Prospect #1 - Yonder Alonso
Prospect #2 - Todd Frazier
I vote based on ceiling. While Lotzkar and Soto were very impressive at age 18 and 19 and will be my next choices, both had an issue with walks.
So I have to go Duran who seems to be our top 16 year old signee, capable of being a megastar.
I'll again vote for Neftali Soto. Still raw as a hitter but still managed to hit .340 with a .920 OPS as a 19 year old.
I'm also going with Duran. He could realistically fulfill his potential, which looks like it was made for a video game.
Soto clearly.
Stubbs. There's no DH in the National League.
Once Stubbs hit so well in AA and AAA, he rocketed up my list.
Soto is a better hitting prospect. All around, I give the edge to Stubbs.
Of course not.
It means that, particularly for an NL parent team, defense is important.
Perhaps Soto can be competent defensively, but I haven't read that he has any special defensive skills.
Stubbs is reputedly a superb centerfielder. Given his good hitting at advanced levels, he edges out Soto for me in the number three spot. If Stubbs hits for an .800 OPS at AAA next year, he becomes a viable candidate -- along with Alonso -- for the Reds top overall prospect.
It's still Dorn, with serious consideration to Valaika. Why? They both are closer to getting the call than so many on the list, and, have shown the ability at high enough level to be able to play with the Big Boys sometime soon.
Soto was #2 for me. Since he can't hold that spot, #3 should be a given. The Reds' development staff needs to hit on the right positions for Soto, Frazier and Valaika, because they are all going to be quality ML hitters.
I too am an advocate for defense, it's simply necc. to not have any glaring weaknesses and preferably several plus defenders. That said if you cannot do enough offensively it really doesn't matter how good you are defensively. Soto is a kid with a very good offensive game and no defensive deficiencies to speak of. Stubbs OTOH is still questionable offensively with sterling defense. Stubbs is also alot closer and plays a premium defensive position, so I can see why someone would vote him ahead of Soto.
But it's not gonna be me, Soto can be special offensively which is something that you just don't overlook or undervalue. As horrible as Manny Ramirez's defense is and how big a cancer he can be he has made a ton of money off the fact that he is a special offensive player. Now imagine a guy who isn't even the force Manny is, say Jason Bay but plays a fair 3B and isn't a cancer? Is that more valuable than a Mike Cameron at best player or less? Ughh, gimme that slugging 3B and that CF but if I can only have one I'll take the 3B by a nose & a half.
I've read that the jury is still out on his defense and that he isn't fast. (Have not read that he's a terrible liability or anything.) Maybe, on balance, he will grade out well. We'll have to see.

In 2002-2003, 1 million students participated in AP by taking at least one exam. Five years later, nearly 1.6 million did—a 50+ percent increase. But is growth all good? Might there be a downside? Are ill prepared students eroding the quality of the program? Perhaps harming the best and brightest? To find out, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute commissioned the Farkas Duffett Research Group to survey AP teachers in public high schools across the country. Perhaps not surprisingly, the AP program remains very popular with its teachers. But there are signs that the move toward "open door" access to AP is starting to cause concern. Read the report to learn more.
An interview with Steve Farkas, President of the Farkas Duffett Research Group.Fordham commissioned the FDR Group to research and write this report.
Voucher opponents often argue that it's unfair to hold public schools accountable for results under the No Child Left Behind Act and various state rules while allowing private schools that participate in voucher programs to receive taxpayer dollars without similar accountability.
We at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute don't entirely buy that argument but we also believe there's room for a reasonable middle ground. It's time for the school-voucher movement to embrace accountability done right, just as most of the charter-school movement has done. But it's also vital to preserve the capacity of private schools to be different and not to deter them from taking children who would benefit.
In pursuit of that middle ground, we sought the advice of twenty experts in the school-choice world. This paper presents their thoughts and opinions, as well as Fordham's own ideas.
The majority of experts agree that participating private schools should not face new regulation of their day-to-day affairs. They also see value in helping parents make informed choices by providing data about how well their own children are performing.
However, experts are not of one mind when it comes to making academic results and financial audits transparent. Some would "let the market rule" and are averse to transparency or accountability around school-level results. Others would "treat private schools like charter schools" when it comes to testing, financial transparency, etc. Some would also like government (or its proxy) to intervene if individual schools aren't performing adequately.
We suggest a "sliding scale" approach...
This study examines the No Child Left Behind Act system and Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) rules for 28 states. We selected 36 real schools (half elementary, half middle) that vary by size, achievement, diversity, etc. and determined which of them would or would not make AYP when evaluated under each state's accountability rules. If a school that made AYP in Washington were relocated to Wisconsin or Ohio, would that same school make AYP there? Based on this analysis, we can see how AYP varies across the country and evaluate the effectiveness of NCLB.

As Gov. Ted Strickland concludes his 12-city "Conversation on Education" tour to gather ideas for reforming public education in Ohio, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute has put forth a report of five recommendations designed to keep improvements in the Buckeye State's public schools on track toward three critical goals: 1) maximizing the talents of every child; 2) producing graduates as good as any in the world; and 3) closing the persistent academic gaps that continue between rich and poor, and black and white and brown.
The five recommendations include:
The report offers relevant examples of the best practices and thinking from across the nation and world as well as within the state of Ohio. These recommendations were developed on the basis of the work over the past decade of many organizations, including Achieve, McKinsey & Co., the Ohio Grantmakers Forum, the National Governors Association, the Council of Chief State School Officers, the National Center on Education and the Economy, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, and Ohio's State Board of Education and Department of Education. ...
Since the piloting of value-added progress measures by the Ohio Department of Education in 2007, we at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute have repeatedly been asked by business people, journalists, philanthropists, educators, and others to explain "value-added" and what it means for schools and children. In order to help answer this question and others--such as "How is it used?" "Should it replace standards-based assessments?" and "Is it a fairer measurer of school performance?"--we volunteered to produce a short primer to help non-specialists understand the basics of "value-added" in Ohio.
The Mississippi Board of Education wants superintendents to be held accountable for student learning, the Clarion-Ledger reports. Supes in underperforming districts would be removed after two years, even if they were elected by the public. (Yes, some southern states still elect local superintendents.) Unfortunately voters don't appear to put student achievement high on their priority lists when voting for education officials--at least in the case of school boards--so this tonic is more than appropriate. Fair is fair: if educators are to be held accountable, their bosses should be too.
Mike, I agree that holding superintendents accountable for the performance of their schools is entirely appropriate, but as with any new law, the devil will prove to be in the details. The Commercial Dispatch reports that school performance will be based on the state's accountability system; that's not terribly encouraging in a state that earned a D+ from Fordham for its state standards. And what about a superintendent whose district shows great improvement for two straight years, yet still rates "underperforming"? The proposed law appears to be a blunt instrument applied to a complicated problem, especially considering that two years is barely time to implement changes, much less see the results show up in testing. Finally, we can't forget that superintendent turnover is already a problem, with the average tenure lasting just a handful of years, and that should give us education reformers pause: change is hard to sustain without consistent leadership. Let's hope this law works as intended, weeding out those superintendents who do little to help kids, and that it doesn't exacerbate the leadership shortage found in too many school systems today.
Too Good to Last: The True Story of Reading First, by Sol Stern, is an in-depth and alarming study of Reading First's betrayal.
President Bush vowed he would "leave no child behind." The centerpiece of his education agenda was Reading First, a new federal program aimed at helping poor children acquire basic reading skills. Under the leadership of White House domestic policy chief Margaret Spellings (then LaMontagne) and with support from Congress, Reading First was to provide funding to primary-reading programs that were based on scientific research. Christopher Doherty became Reading First's new director. His job was to ensure that Reading First schools used only programs that work and shunned those that don't.
Backlash and brouhaha followed. Aggrieved whole-language program proprietors complained bitterly that their wares couldn't be purchased with Reading First funds. They found a receptive ear in the Education Department's Office of the Inspector General (OIG), a bastion of green eyeshade and Dragnet types who weren't the least bit interested in children learning to read. The OIG launched a witch hunt against Doherty, falsely claiming that he was improperly favoring particular publishers. Despite the lack of evidence and the fact that Doherty was acting with the full knowledge and support of Margaret Spellings, this conscientious and hard-working public servant was forced to resign. Then the administration turned its back on Reading First, allowing the program to be gutted and starved of funding.
This report cites the real scandals of Reading First:
David Hoff reports that Senators Clinton and Obama are calling for new kinds of tests under No Child Left Behind. Obama has more steak to Hillary's sizzle on this one, saying in his education plan that he will support "funds for states to implement a broader range of assessments that can evaluate higher-order skills, including students' abilities to use technology, conduct research, engage in scientific investigation, solve problems, present and defend their ideas. These assessments will provide immediate feedback so that teachers can begin improving student learning right away."
In fact, that might be too much detail. How is an assessment going to measure all of those worthy attributes while also providing feedback to teachers immediately? This isn't just hope-mongering, it's decision-blurring. Either you can provide feedback quickly, but have to stick to easy-to-measure things like reading skills, or you can offer information about critical thinking and the rest, but have to wait for real people to score the tests. (Unless you're comfortable with this Third Way solution.) It's a multiple choice test, Senators, and you can only choose one answer.
The Proficiency Illusion" reveals that the tests that states use to measure academic progress under the No Child Left Behind Act are creating a false impression of success, especially in reading and especially in the early grades.
The report, a collaboration of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the Northwest Evaluation Association, contains several major findings:
As a result, students may be performing worse in reading, and worse in elementary school, than is readily apparent by looking at passing rates on state tests.

That said, there is no farming in this game. Single player maps are not re-playable and you cannot attack anyone outside of the match-making system and one-time revenge on the person that attacked you. This slows down the game considerably unless you pay for some Gems. The lowest denomination is $5 for 500. That buys one additional worker, or at about level 25, fills up your army camps about 8 – 10 times quickly – depending on the troops you are training and assuming you have the elixir.
Gems are awarded for achievements that you will pick up as you play the game, such as 10 enemy town halls destroyed, breaking 25 walls, etc. They are also found when you clear debris such as tree trunks and rocks, which do re-spawn, so there are ways to extend your play time without paying if you save your gems and use them to speed up your troop builds so you get several attacks in, in a short period of time.

Breakfast had a lot of options. Room was a good size.
TV channel changing extremely slow with no channel guide.
That it was clean and different entrances
I brought my bathing suite and there was no hot tub I was looking forward to a swim and to sit in jacuzzi
Check in process was easy and the price was very low.
The room was outdated with old tv and the microwave didn't work and the iron was missing. Hotel is right next to freeway so traffic noise all night also there is a train that runs every couple hours. Seems to be in a shady part of town had a lot of strange people hanging around.
A guy came pounding on my door at 2 In the morning. Wouldn't go away till I informed him I was armed. I would not stay here again. the money I saved staying here was not worth the experience.
It was close to the freeway, no noise from the neighbors 24 hour staff. Clean basic room
Wasn't the best mattress, but far from the worst I've had. My room faced the freeway which got a bit noisy when the semi had his tire changed at 3 am
Cheack in and out was fast house keeping was just not seen and did a great job
Parking was scarey
Convenient location, great price, fridge and microwave in room, hot breakfast, passes to a great fitness center, all staff very friendly and helpful. Will stay here again and again.
The neighborhood isn't that great and you can hear people outside at all hours of the night. I usually stay four nights and five days so the breakfast gets old by the third morning. Would be nice if they changed the menu every other day.
The beds were awesome.. Very comfortable. The staff was very friendly too. When booking there was an error and my kids were not included so the front desk guy upgraded free of charge to accommodate our needs.. From a King size bed to two queen.
No, it was perfect.
Clean room. Comfortable king bed.
False advertising of room rates.
The manager was really nice, and even remembered my name when I checked out the next morning. Small toiletries were also provided, with, finally, decent sized bath towels (instead of hand towels masquerading as bath towels). Wi-Fi and HBO were provided free of charge and the air conditioner actually worked!
I liked having 2 bathroom sinks in separate spaces so one person could shower while the other could be getting ready in a separate space. The decor was tastefully done. It was very clean. The breakfast had plenty of choices and much better than going out.
A maid came to the door at 8:30 and asked if we wanted our room cleaned. We said no (meaning at that time). We were hardly up! Our room was never cleaned that day and the bed had not been made. I assumed someone would come back later and at least do basic straightening and clean with w/o switching out towels.
The staff was great. We were there on Thanksgiving and they had limited service available because they gave almost everyone the day off. That shows dedication to their staff. Loved it.
Hotel was doing a remodel so the lobby was a mess, breakfast was pretty bad, construction dust everywhere. The room they gave us was bad, handicapped with a queen and twin bed. We had 2 kids so we had to pay extra for a roll away that barely fin in room
Noise was a big problem. Definitely should request a room on the backside away from the highway and train noise. Walls DO NOT dampen noise from neighbors; room next door had small children running in the room until after 11, and TV on all night.
Room was clean and had everything you need for a nights stay.
Front desk person was nasty over the phone when I asked if they could match the Kyak rate.
The trains across the street might as well be inside your room. THEY'RE LOUD!!!!
Its a B & B in a very safe quiet off the beaten path neighborhood. Very comfortable relaxing setting with secure parking. Breakfast was excellent and complimentary.
Its quite a ways from everything
The place had an odor problem, and poor customer service.
The location off the highway was convenient.
The room was gross. The bed was uncomfortable and the noise from traffic made it tought to sleep. The lack of customer service was unacceptable. My family and I frequent hotels almost monthly and we will not be staying at this one again.
My room was great, modern and clean. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I have no complaints and will definitely be back in the future.
The room was very well appointed, comfortable, and had really nice features such as the decorative glass and modem couch. The bedding, towels and robes were very high quality. We also had a very nice dinner at the upscale restaurant on proporty; it was really a first class restaurnat. The band at the night club was fun and engaged the crowd well. Casino games were as expected; the poker room was very big and we got a game quickly.
Police substation across the street. Forgot leftovers in fridge and staff held onto it until we could get back by to get it.
No channel guide in room.
The room was larger than expected and it was nice to have a fridge and microwave. The staff where very helpful but not in the way.
I HATE those tiny coffee pots!!!!
Quiet stay. I had no disturbances. Front desk is staffed overnight, but I guess that's normal. I arrived after midnight and was in my room after just a few minutes at the counter. Continental breakfast. Great price!
While I was eating breakfast, a staff member (the owner?) yelled at a woman for coming back in and getting another apple for breakfast. Apparently, she had already eaten and the owner didn't like her coming back... Give me a break, it's an apple and Washington is full of them. I would stay here again though. It beats paying Seattle prices and isn't too far away.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

"Sighisoara-an UNESCO World Heritage site" Sighisoara by Dabs
Sighisoara Travel Guide: 398 reviews and 1,092 photos
Sighisoara is one of the wonderfully preserved medieval Saxon towns you will find while visiting Transylvania and the one that we liked the best. The citadel, or old town, is built up on a hillside, surrounded by the city walls with 9 of the original 14 towers built by the various guilds of craftsmen. The highest point features a church which seemed to be the centerpoint of all of the Saxon towns that we visited. A 1/2 day was adequate time to see the sights, have a walk through town and grab a bite to eat.
Dracula tourists are also drawn to Sighisoara since it is the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler aka Vlad Dracula. Unlike nearby Bran Castle which has been substituted as Dracula's Castle since the real one is in ruins (a true spark of capitalism there!), Sighisoara seems to have a real link to the real life Dracula. I get the sense that Romanians don't like the connection of Bram Stoker's fictional bloodsucker to their Impaler, despite his brutal and bloody methods he seems to be somewhat of a hero.
For those of you not familiar with impaling, I understand that the goal was to keep someone alive as long as possible after having inserted a spike through their anus (ouch!), the exit point being somewhere around the head or shoulders. The spikes were then erected and placed so that everyone knows who's boss.
I'm not sure of the literal translation of the sign found on the Dracul house but I'm pretty sure it says something close to this is Dracul's (Dracula's father) house and he lived here from 1431-1435
- Pros:Wonderfully preserved medieval town
- Cons:none that I can think of

Although we have explored many places in Transsylvania, we unfortunately missed Sighisoara. These "No trumpet playing please!" signs are quite usual in Romania. Fabulous page here.

Notes & Reviews:
Twenty-four years ago , William Christie and Les Arts Florissants premièred Jean-Baptiste Lully's opera Atys at the Opéra Comique in Paris. It was a smashing success, and marked a pivotal moment in the history of period performance practice. Christie became a tireless champion of the music of Lully and helped rehabilitate the composer's once stodgy reputation. In Armide, the "tragédie en musique" (a genre that Lully and his librettist Quinault jointly invented) reaches its peak of emotional and musical expression. Robert Carsen's highly acclaimed 2008 production of Armide at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées rekindled interest in French Baroque music. On this new video from FRA Musica, filmed at the Château de Versailles, Carsen and stage director Jean-Claude Gallotta present an opulent and powerful vision of Lully's poignant masterpiece.Notes & Reviews:

Jim Williams has been watching birds and writing about their antics since before "Gilligan's Island" went into reruns. Join him for his unique insights, his everyday adventures and an open conversation about the birds in your back yard and beyond.
Two of northern Minnesota's finest artists have collaborated on a book about hawks. The book is "Hawk Ridge: Minnesota's Birds of Prey." The author is Laura Erickson, the artist Betsy Bowen. Hawk Weekend is this Saturday and Sunday. The book is a perfect companion for a hawk-watching trip to Hawk Ridge in Duluth.
Hawk Ridge is an observation point above the city of Duluth. It's famous as one of the nation's best places to see raptors (and other birds) as they migrate. Birds can be seen in both spring and fall, but the fall movement is the one to watch. Some days are spectacular, with tens of thousands of birds flowing over and along the ridge.
Erickson has been a fixture at the main Hawk Ridge observation point for years. She writes with clarity and passion the life histories of 20 species of eagles, hawks, falcons, kites, and vultures. She tells why birds make Hawk Ridge the exciting place it is from August through November, the fall migration window. She writes with grace, knowledgeable sentences flowing as smoothly as the ridge wind.
Bowen, who works up the Lake Superior shore in Grand Marais, is perhaps best known for her woodcut art. Here, she has painted some raptors, drawn others with pen and ink. Her distinctive style is evident regardless of medium.
Timely is the short chapter on visiting Hawk Ridge because this weekend, Sept. 20 and 21, is Hawk Weekend. Erickson details all you need to know, wear, and bring when you visit.
Special events are planned for both days. Help with identification will be available. Live birds will be shown. With appropriate weather, good visibility and a wind from the north or northwest, these could be spectacular migration days. Broad-winged Hawks are the species that usually has the highest count number, often approaching 100,000 for a season, with one or two days when the majority of those birds could pass.
The Broad-winged total for this season stood at 9,504 for the season to date. That means the big flights are yet to happen. To date, 14 raptor species have been seen. (Both species of eagle and Rough-legged Hawk tend to appear later in the fall.)
Find a copy of the book, then head for Duluth. If you plan an overnight, make reservations immediately. The birds and the fall color in the forests make Duluth a high-demand destination right now. For more information go to www.hawkridge.org

DISH Network continued to display its interest in home-networking systems by exhibiting an automation system at CES this month that was linked with its Hopper DVR platform. The demo featured the Hopper attached to a ZigBee/Z-Wave USB dongle that allowed users to monitor and operate home appliances and doors. A DISH spokeswoman said the company has not decided whether it will market the products, although the company believes the Hopper has potential to act as a home-networking hub.

Artists of Color: Inspiring the Cape & Islands
By Mindy Todd
In a region where people of color are a minority of the population, how is their experience reflected in their art and how is their work received? Art is an expression of an individual's emotions, experiences and perspective. Mindy Todd sits down with painters, a writer, a vocalist and art educators of color to hear more about their work and their experiences living and making art on the Cape and Islands. Guests on the program: Robin Joyce Miller, artist. Carl Lopes, artist, head of Barnstable High School Art Department. Cerise Bynoe, Jazz vocalist. Joe Diggs, artist. Lauren Wolk, Associate Director of The Cultural Center of Cape Cod. Jarita Davis, writer. Janice Frame, retired Martha's Vineyard High School Art instructor.

A Mesh Of Forms Contest of Russell Sivey
Written by Carol Brown 03/22/2012
Using the forms Tanka & Senryu
1st Place Winner
God is always love
Forever seek the kingdom;
Praise the creator
Keep giving what you can give
Please endure until the end
Beautiful Heavens
Protecting the meek ones earth
Watching over us
Helping us to cope with life
Comforted with hope and trust
When you find rhythm
You find your hearts inner core
Celebrate the times
Make them better than before
Reminisce and dance all night
It is a new day
Something wonderful happened
You are now at peace
Like a phoenix rising up
From the ashes you prevail
We shall not mourn you
For you are not gone at all
We may not see you
Your presence lives on in us
Enduring the test of time
Radiant light shines
Upon us all forever
Glorious rays gleam
Emitting from your spirit
Keeping your memory strong
The lives you have touched
Will never forget you now
Though we may shed tears
These are tears of happiness
Your spirit forever reigns
In the days to come
When we are all together
Celebrating life
Your spirit will consume us
Your peace will be our strength
Joy and happiness
Will be felt every moment
You gave us reason
To have faith in the future
Your legacy will live on…………..
Lay your sorrows down
Upon my healing altar,
Walk with me a while
And I'll tell you of your worth,
So much more than you believe.
Rejoicing in life
soul's jubilation singing
raising of voices
Praises of joy unto Him
uplifting mortal spirit

Concealer covers
Restless nights, wrinkles and age
Spackle for the face
My bag of tricks will contain
Light and dark sticks for all flaws
Keep those telling flaws
closely covered never let
others see the real
superficial me later
Imperfections are pure
As we rose on wings
The earth falling below fast
On wings of eagle
Feeling as higher at last
Beauty of Canyon below
The sun rises East
and it lowers in the West,
moon reflects its light,
plants grow upward to touch it,
still... just one "Light of the World."
