The anti-choice movement has worked hard to convince people that it cares about women and what they want. Its (public) rhetoric went from calling women murderers to telling them they "deserve better" than abortion. The movement swears its protestors are kindly grandmothers, not terrifying bullies. It has even started calling itself a group full of feminists!
But no amount of re-branding can hide the true goal of the anti-choicers: forcing women to carry pregnancies they don't want, by any means. And the truth is that trying to forcibly stop women from getting abortions is a last-resort option for a stuck movement.
The anti-choice strategy to block access to abortion through legislation that shuts down clinics and burdens women has been hideously effective, but the narrow focus indicates the anti-choice movement could actually be conceding the war of public opinion. After all, Americans' beliefs about abortion have remained steady over the last 10 years, and women who want abortions are not changing their minds about obtaining the procedure. Since it can't effectively evangelize against the right to abortion – or eliminate that right – the anti-choice movement is throwing itself in front of that right, trying to make the right impossible to get to.
When Alabama's US District Judge Myron Thompson found the state's law mandating hospital admitting privileges for abortion providers unconstitutional this week, he found that protesters were not as interested in changing people's minds as they were in threatening providers:
The protesters in Huntsville were not targeting abortion patients and trying to dissuade them from going through with the procedure. Instead, they were approaching women who sought to carry their pregnancies to term. Rather than attempting to change general public perceptions on the issue of abortions or dissuade women from obtaining abortions, the court must infer that these protesters sought to threaten economic destruction for any doctor who enabled the provision of abortion within the city.
Judge Thompson's 172-page opinion also outlined the harassment and violence abortion providers face, writing that "this court cannot overlook the backdrop to this case: a history of severe violence against abortion providers in Alabama and the surrounding region." Terrifyingly, this harassment and intimidation, activist or legal, may be all the anti-choice movement has left.
A 2013 study from the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco, showed that while protesters outside of clinics made women feel emotionally distressed, they had no impact on women's feelings about getting an abortion. So if the anti-choicers aren't engaging in debate that changes women's minds, as they claim, what are they there for? To bully. To scare. To harass. (If only the violent backdrop that Judge Thompson refused to overlook was considered when the US supreme court decided this summer on buffer zones.)
Similarly, legislation like mandatory ultrasounds before abortions – which anti-choicers say will dissuade women from going through with the procedure – has almost no impact on a women's decision to terminate a pregnancy. A study published in the January issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology showed that 98.4% of women who saw their ultrasounds had an abortion anyway. So why push the legislation? Well, it not only shames a woman with an unnecessary and sometimes invasive procedure, but it can add a financial burden that will forcibly keep her from obtaining care.
Even Crisis Pregnancy Centers – the major anti-choice initiative to change women's minds about getting an abortion – use deception and fear rather than good-faith efforts to engage with women, because the truth only hurts their cause. CPCs routinely tell women there's a link between breast cancer and abortion (there is not), that the procedure will make them sterile (it will not), or even lie to women about far along they are in a pregnancy so they'll miss their state's legal limit to obtain an abortion. Some CPCs deliberately misrepresent themselves as a medical clinic that offers abortion – down to using names similar to real abortion clinics in the area – only to intimidate the women who walk through their doors.
And while CPCs are being dealt major blows – from legislation curtailing their ability to deceive women to having their ads pulled by search engines Yahoo and Google – Trap laws are nonetheless on the rise. The Guttmacher Institute reports that more abortion restrictions have been enacted from 2011-2013 than in the entire previous decade.
Women know how they feel about abortion. They know if they want one or if they don't. The anti-choice movement will not move them, so the only thing left to do is stop the anti-choicers – whether we like it or not. The movement doesn't care about what women want, only what it can do to stop us. This desperation, while a weak spot pro-choice organizations should hammer on, also makes them all the more dangerous. And we should never forget that.

WALLA WALLA — Whitworth University fired a 1-under-par 287 team score Sunday at the Wine Valley Golf Club and fashioned a four-shot lead over Pacific Lutheran University halfway through the Whitman College Invitational men's golf tournament.
Host Whitman shot its best 18-hole team score of the season and cracked the 300 barrier with a 299 total that was 11 shots over par for its top four scorers. Nevertheless, the Missionaries found themselves in fifth place in eight-team field, trailing Puget Sound (293) and Linfield (297) as well as Whitworth and PLU.
Sixth-place Willamette shot 304 Sunday and trailed the Missionaries by just five shots heading into today's second and final round of the tournament. George Fox carded 313 and Lewis & Clark 338 to round out the field of Northwest Conference rivals.
Whitworth's Lyle Rudnicki and PLU's Dustin Hegge shared first-round medalist honors with matching 3-under-par 69s. They were just one shot up on a quartet of players — Whitworth's Oliver Rudnicki, Willamette's Ryan Kukula, PLU's Justin Lee and George Fox's Chris Lumsden — who were logjammed in third place with 2-under-par 70s.
Whitman College freshman Evan Dyar was in a group of three players in seventh place at even-par 72. A.J. Taylor of Linfield and Derek Wilson of UPS also matched par during the first round.
Daniel Hoffman, Geoff Burks and Scott Martin turned in Whitman's other three counting scores. Hoffman shot a 2-over-par 74 and was tied for 12th place, Burks was another stroke back at 75 and tied for 17th, and Martin shot 78 and was tied for 28th.
Nathan Fisher and Connor Hood shot non-counting 81s for the Missionaries and Jordan Dickson came in with a 94.

"The difference is gathering the fans happens on Facebook, and reaching them happens on Facebook too," he said. Whereas in the Mail Chimp example, the user either personally collected the addresses or paid a different third-party company to collect them. "With Facebook, it can feel like you're paying twice."
So frustrated is Cuban that in his blog posted yesterday he wrote:
I am recommending that we de-emphasize pushing consumers or partners to like us on FB and focus on building up our followings across all existing social media platforms and to evaluate those that we feel can grow a material following.
I can only presume after my conversation with Cooper that Cuban is still planning to push for growth on Facebook, he's just deemphasizing it as a priority.
Founded in 2010, Offerpop bootstrapped its funding up front before raising a $1.4 million Series A round of financing and a total of $7 million.
Editor's note: This story was updated on November 21 to include a response from Cuban and to clarify that Offerpop's services do not guarantee followers, but rather provide email addresses of potential followers.

Consider the following scenario. In Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, you configure a Web application to use Integrated Windows authentication. You also configure the Web application to accept client certificates. You send a client-side HTTP request to the Web application by using Windows Internet Explorer. In this scenario, you are not prompted to select a client certificate from the local certificate store. Instead, you are transparently authenticated, and you can access the Web application.
This behavior also occurs if you configure the Web application to use Basic authentication and to accept client certificates. When you send the client-side HTTP request to the Web application by using Internet Explorer, the Basic authentication dialog box appears.
Note This behavior does not occur in IIS 6.0.
This behavior occurs because of an issue in the <modules> element in the ApplicationHost.config file or in the Web.config file. The CertificateMappingAuthenticationModule module appears after the WindowsAuthenticationModule module. Therefore, Integrated Windows authentication occurs first, and then client certificate authentication does not occur.
To work around this behavior, modify the <modules> element in the ApplicationHost.config file or in the Web.config file so that the CertificateMappingAuthenticationModule module appears before the WindowsAuthenticationModule module. For example, modify the <modules> element to resemble the following.
This behavior is by design.
Every request that IIS 7.0 receives moves through multiple stages in the IIS 7.0 request pipeline. In IIS 7.0, the request processing moves from one stage to the next stage in a fixed sequence. If any of the modules in the <modules> element subscribe to the event for the current stage, IIS 7.0 calls each of these modules one by one before the request processing moves to the next stage.
If multiple modules subscribe to the same event, the module that has the higher priority is called first. The priority of the module is written in the source code of the module. Additionally, the priority of the module is set at the compile time of the module.
If multiple modules subscribe to the same event and have the same priority, the module that appears first in the <modules> element is called first.
The default order of the modules is important to make sure that the modules work correctly. If you change the default order, you may encounter unexpected problems. For example, you may encounter the behavior that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
In summary, the module execution order in IIS 7.0 is as follows:

High power listening devices were reported to be found in the bedroom of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nitin Gadkari's Teen Murti Lane residence in New Delhi. Gadkari is the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways. While the minister has called the reports "highly speculative", the media is rife with theories on who may have planted the devices and when.
Gadkari has continued to deny that there is any base to these reports.
Reports in a section of the media about listening devices having been found at my New Delhi residence are highly speculative
— Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) July 27, 2014
As already stated, I reiterate that no devices were found at my residence anywhere
— Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) July 28, 2014
Congress raised the issue during question hour in the Rajya Sabha today demanding answers from the government on the snooping row. Home Minister, Rajnath Singh made a statement on the issue. "There is no truth to the media reports," he said. The ensuing uproar led to adjournment of the Rajya Sabha four times, twice during the question hour and twice during Zero Hour. The issue was raised in the Lok Sabha as well with the Opposition demanding that the government give a statement on the matter. Congress asked for a Joint Parliamentary Committee to investigate the incident but the government dismissed that matter as a 'non-issue'. Read more on the discussion in the Parliament here.
Gadkari told ANI that the reports were completely "baseless and false". "First they said Mumbai home then Delhi home,totally false," he said. On the remarks made by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on US involvement in the snooping, he said "Ask Swamy(Subramanian) ji himself about what he is saying."
ANI reported that before the Parliament session began, both Gadkari and Law Minister Ravi Shankar had refused to comment on the issue. Dr.Jitendra Singh, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, had denied any knowledge of the matter.
After its inital silence, BJP had made a statement on the matter yesterday. Party spokesperson Nalin Kohli said to NDTV, "Over the last year, it was widely believed the BJP would come to power. So one might not be surprised if there was an interest in information gathering... but in terms of putting listening devices and eavesdropping systematically, that isn't right."
The Sunday Guardian reported that the bugs were found accidentally. It is alleged that the listening devices were of high-quality and of a type normally used by western agencies, the report said, "particularly the CIA and the National Security Agency".
A close aide of the minister is said to have denied the reports. Media reports say that the matter has not been reported to the Intelligence Bureau (IB). An official from the IB is quoted as saying, "The IB regularly sweeps offices of ministers who handle sensitive ministries at their request. But as far as residences are concerned, I don't think the IB has conducted such an exercise." A senior intelligence officer reportedly said that he was sure that the reports of bugging pertained to Gadkari's Mumbai residence.
Media reports yesterday alleged that the homes of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Home Minister Rajnath Singh may also have been bugged.
Minister State for Home, Kiran Rijiju said that he cannot take steps for an investigation. "Mr Gadkari has himself called it speculation. If so, how can we intervene?" he said.
Reactions from the Congress
Several Congress leaders have called for investigations into these reports and asked that the government look into the matter. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called for an investigation into reports of the bugging devices, "If ministers' houses are bugged, then it is not a good omen. It should be investigated. How can it happen? It should be explained by the government in the House." He also asked the government to explain the issue in Parliament. Read more.
"Government should give a statement in Parliament as to what really is the reality in the Nitin Gadkari bugging case," echoed National Congress Party leader, Tariq Anwar told ANI.
"If such a thing has appeared in the public space as you point out that perhaps an inquiry has been ordered, then the full facts of that inquiry should be laid on the floor of Parliament so that the nation knows as to whether there is any truth to it or not," Congress leader and former Minister of Information and Broadcasting, ManishTewari said.
"It reflects a certain lack of faith amongst ministerial colleagues and an absence of mutual trust. It's time that both Gadkari and also the BJP and government come clean on the issue and place before the people of the country if at all there was bugging and if there was snooping being done... at whose instance and at whose authority it has been done. And what is the reason if any for conducting such snooping. All these issues need to be clarified both by the BJP as well as the Prime Minister and the Home Minister in the larger interest of people," Haryana MLA Randeep Surjewala said. Read more.
However, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh was quoted as saying, "If Nitin Gadkari is denying his house was bugged, that's the end of this issue."
Could the US National Security Agency be involved?
In 2010, it was reported that the United States' National Security Agency (NSA) was spying on several organisations around the world. Earlier this year, classified documents revealed that the NSA had been spying on several political parties as well as international entities in the world including the BJP in India, the People's Party in Pakistan and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. A certification by the Foreign Intellignce Surveillance Court allowed the NSA to collect such intelligence.
The BJP had called the act a gross violation of India's privacy and sovereignty as a democratic nation.
Read more on NSA's spying here
Previous cases of snooping in India
This year, it was alleged that the Gujarat government has illegally snooped on a young girl on behest of Amit Shah. A judicial commission inquiry was to be formed to look into the incident.
In September 2012, BJP leader Yashwant Sinha alleged that P Chidambaram had ordered to tap his phone as he had accused the latter in the issue of Aircel-Maxis deal. Earlier that year, a monitoring device had been found in the office of the then Defence Minister AK Antony.
In 2011, there were reports that then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's office was bugged. At least 16 adhesive-type gum sticks were found in different rooms of the Finance Ministry including three under Mukherjee's own table.
Reactions on Twitter:
Minister(Nitin Gadkari) has already denied the allegation, so Home Ministry has nothing to say: Home Ministry Sources on bugging issue
— ANI (@ANI_news) July 28, 2014
If US was not snooping on Gadkari then does it mean SnoopGate experienced BJP top leadership is snooping on him??!! pic.twitter.com/0jzxYsbnXj
— Manvendra Singh Rana (@ms_rana) July 28, 2014
I condemn snooping on Gadkari. I dislike him, but he has rights too.
— Vidyut (@Vidyut) July 28, 2014
Gadkari says his house wasn't bugged, but @Swamy39 insists Gadkari was spied by US agency. Both are in BJP, who is right?
— milind khandekar (@milindkhandekar) July 28, 2014
#Gadkari. Rule of thumb in Del, rumours usually have a basis. Denial by Gadkari & SSwamy's misdirection make NDA as suspect. Standard IB op.

Having been in the profession, cooking for 19 years, I have met many a culinary chefs, some of whom are chefs by profession, some are chefs by choice, while some are chefs by virtue of the legacy they uphold.
And to be honest, I enjoy the company of street chefs and cooks, who have had this gift passed down from generations and hence I have always held a bias towards the modern fusion cooking-oriented Indian chef.
On my last visit to Ahmedabad, the way I thought about a lot of things changed during a conversation that extended over three hours. Here I met a very proud 70-year-old halwai, Kamlesh bhai, who is the seventh generation torch bearer of Kandoi Sweets in Ahmedabad. Started as a small weekly mithai stall in Manik Chowk, one of the oldest markets in Ahmedabad, they have come to be known as one of the biggest sweet makers in Gujarat. His son also into the business, is an MBA, who was forced to learn mithai making early on his childhood, a practise he doesn't regret. When I spoke to Kamlesh bhai on the presence of flavoured chocolates in every mithai shop in the country, I was expecting the usual outburst about how our traditional Indian food is being messed up. Instead Kamlesh bhai smiled, looked at me and said, "I keep chocolates in my mithai shop too."
He shared how he's made a promise to his father, that "I will pass this legacy down to my son in a manner that is interesting and contemporary, so that he is excited to take the business forward and further the promise to his kin, who will be happy and proud of this culinary inheritance."
He pointed out, "The only reason our business has survived for all these years is because we have handed over the reigns to our prodigy in the most appealing and current form.
My son loves this business and is happy to take over from me not just because of the family pride but because its an evolving business. It is definitely not what it was 170 years ago."
Kalmesh bhai insisted, "We have to be trendy if we want to be a part of history. However, while doing all this, we continue to hold onto the essence of our basic values."
In a typical humble Gujarati way, he ended the conversation with the fact that still plays up a smile in admiration when I think about it. "The Rossagulah and any other Chenna sweet would not have been created if Bengal had chosen to ignore and not adopt the Dutch and Portuguese art of cheese making." Insightful....

TeleProductions Celebrates 50 Years of Service to Kent State This FallPosted Sept. 27, 2010
In 1960, Dr. Phillip Macomber founded TeleProductions as part of the School of Speech. The main purpose of TeleProductions (then called Television Services) was to satisfy Kent State's growing need for new and innovative instructional technology. As time went on, TeleProductions evolved with changing technology. The university equipped campus buildings with a multichannel, closed-circuit cable system to allow viewing of various faculty lectures and special events. The network was a forerunner to today's concept of distance learning.
"Throughout the years, we've been committed to providing our clients with the highest quality of support and service while creating a learning environment for Kent State students," says Mark Warzinski, TeleProductions production manager. "The combination of professional experience and student enthusiasm helps create a unique service for our clients."
In the 1970s, TeleProductions purchased state-of-the-art recording and editing technologies as its focus expanded to both studio and remote production. The creation of Northeastern Educational Television of Ohio and its two local television stations, WNEO and WEAO, allowed TeleProductions to take part in public broadcasting. Hundreds of live and videotaped shows, as well as award-winning public affairs and documentary programs were and are still produced in TeleProductions' Studio A.
Today, TeleProductions offers a wide range of services including editing, filming, audio, graphics and more. Most recently, Teleproductions put into service a satellite truck that was well-used this past May 4.
"The highlight of our anniversary is the introduction of our new state-of-the-art satellite uplink/production truck," Warzinski says.

The Saints gymnastic team and fans paid homage to the team's seniors on the final home meet of the year when the Saints hosted Luverne on Tuesday night.Seniors Breonna Ommodt, Karen Gonzalez, Megan Lindquist, and Stephany Garza were recognized for their contributions to St. James gymnastics.The Saints lost the meet to Luverne by a team score of 119.550 to 110.825.Junior Erin Hurley had another strong performance. She won the all around with a score of 31.100. Hurley won the balance beam with a score of 8.125 and she won the floor exercise with a score of 8.025.Megan Lindquist placed third in the balance beam and Breonna Ommodt placed fourth in the all around. Hurley placed second in the uneven parallel bars.The Saints kept the score close in 3 of 4 events, but Luverne won the uneven bars with a team score of 26.050 to 21.625, and that was the largest scoring advantage Luverne had in an event.The all around scores for the Saints were:31.100 Erin Hurley27.600 Breonna Ommodt25.950 Karen Gonzalez22.325 Megan LindquistSaints v. BEAThe Saints gymnasts toasted their parents and hosted the team from Blue Earth Area on Friday night, but lost a meet to the Buccaneers by a team score of 124.800 to 109.750.It was parents night, and the armory was decorated by the team with posters expressing thanks to their parents for their support over the year.The Saints kept the match close by performing very well on the floor and the vault.BEA won the vault by a team score of 34.050 to the Saints score of 33.900. BEA narrowly won the floor exercise by a score of 31.875 to the Saints' score of 29.500.It was the uneven bars where the meet was decided when Blue Earth garnered a score of 31.400 to 20.950 for the Saints.The Saints lost the balance beam by a couple of points.

"ABC News carried a story regarding a conversation in Washington between senior U.S. and Pakistani officials," said the statement, released by embassy spokeswoman Courtney Beale. "Although we are unable to discuss the substance of a private diplomatic meeting, U.S. Embassy Islamabad can state categorically that the description of the conversation in this report is simply inaccurate."
U.S. officials declined to specify which details in the story were inaccurate.
Haqqani also denied that he had been threatened.
"The characterization of my conversation with White House officials by ABC News borders fabrication," he said in a statement to ABC News today. "It is not our policy to reveal details of diplomatic conversations. I can say, however, that National Security Adviser Tom Donilon did, indeed, convey the US government's views about the case of Mr. Raymond Davis during a meeting on Monday evening but no ultimatum or threat was given. I conveyed the government of Pakistan's commitment to resolve the matter in accordance with Pakistani and international law. Both sides are working together to resolve the case expeditiously and to continue our multi-faceted strategic partnership."
Davis has become a political and intelligence football: he is caught between a federal government ruled by the Pakistan People's party and a Punjab government led by the opposition, which is more skeptical of U.S. policies; and he is caught in an intelligence game because he killed two men working for Pakistan's premiere intelligence agency, according to four Pakistani officials.
A congressional delegation from the House Armed Services committee visited Pakistan last weekend and raised the possibility that Davis' continuing detention would threaten military aid, according to a committee aide. But a senior Pakistani military official denied that was true.
"There were no threats," he said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
But there have been threats delivered to government officials, and the larger problem, those officials say, is that the pressure is boxing them in -- because it is eroding overall support for the United States.
Speaking in private drawing room conversations or in high-end coffee shops, even some of those who support the United States say they feel like they can't support Davis' release, especially not publicly. In their minds, the ambiguous nature of Davis' job, his killing two Pakistanis in broad daylight, and the wide coverage given to U.S. anger in Pakistan has shrunk the public acceptance of all U.S. policies in Pakistan.
"I think the response to the U.S. anger is more aggressive anti-American sentiments," said Ahmed Malik, sitting at the upscale Gloria Jean's coffee in Lahore. He and his friends said the U.S. was "bullying" Pakistan. "I think people feel it's totally unjustified for the Americans to ask for a man who's done something like this" to be released, Malik said.
Their increasing skepticism of U.S. diplomacy was echoed by the senior military official, who discussed Davis' detention on the condition of anonymity.
"It should disturb the U.S. when the liberal class, on the account of U.S. attitude and bullying… is showing a lot of frustration, anger, reservations," the official told ABC News.

Bio Melosh's research is focused on developing methods to detect and control chemical processes on the nanoscale, to create materials that are responsive to their local environment. The research goal incorporates many of the hallmarks of biological adaptability, based on feedback control between cellular receptors and protein expression. Similar artificial networks may be achieved by fabricating arrays of nanoscale devices that can detect and influence their local surroundings through ionic potential, temperature, mechanical motion, capacitance, or electrochemistry. These devices are particularly suited as smart biomaterials, where multiple surface-cell interactions must be monitored and adjusted simultaneously for optimal cell adhesion and growth. Other interests include precise control over self-assembled materials, and potential methods to monitor the diagnostics of complicated chemical systems, such as the effect of drug treatments within patients.
Research Interests:
Molecular materials at interfaces
Directed dynamic self-assembly
Controlling molecular or biomolecular assembly and behavior
Influence of local electronic, optical or thermal stimuli

Bing, Google Maps, and MapQuest all have their charms, but which one will get you where you need to go with the least hesitation and the most accuracy? We examine all three and pick a winner.
The test: Direction accuracy
None of these services offered perfect directions in every search, and sometimes - no matter which one you pick - you'll get strange routes as a result. Most of the time, the three services agree on the basics of a route, but occasionally one of them varies wildly.
Except when we asked for directions over routes we drive daily, it was impossible to be certain about which map's routes were best, but subjectively Google's results seemed the quickest and most direct, followed by Bing's, and then MapQuest's; in a few cases we tested, MapQuest offered some unmistakably quirky driving suggestions.
We did appreciate the Avoid button that MapQuest places next to every turn, giving you the opportunity to bypass problem intersections that the service may not know about, without your having to specify an alternate route. (All three services let you do this by dragging a point on the suggested route to another street, at which point the service recalculates the route in real time.)
We also appreciated the helpful hints that Bing embeds in its route instructions, including construction notices and advice along the lines of 'If you reach Main Street, you've gone too far'. For travellers driving in an utterly foreign area, Bing provides the best hand-holding.
But nothing beats Google's biggest advantage here: It almost always gives you choices in the form of a collection of two or three different ways you can go, each involving a similar amount of time spent on the road.
Scores: out of 10
Google: 8
Bing: 7
MapQuest: 6
The test: traffic information
All three services use the same colour scheme when you activate the traffic overlay -ranging from green for no problems to black for 'you're not going anywhere today'. Nevertheless, we noticed some stark differences in how well the three services' traffic outlooks work.
The clear leader here is Google. It has the most comprehensive traffic data (based on number of streets covered) and the clearest presentation of information. Google Maps makes it easy to get a quick look at traffic before you head out of the office for home -and its unique ability to change the overlay from live traffic to projected future traffic based on historical data can be a lifesaver when you have a congested route ahead of you.
The overlay lines showing MapQuest traffic data are difficult to interpret. MapQuest's street coverage is nearly as comprehensive as Google's, but its information is extremely difficult to read: The overlay lines are so wide that you may not be able to tell what street is being highlighted. And since red and green lines can sit side by side, the resulting confusion can pose a serious problem. Even more troublingly, MapQuest's traffic data is sometimes clearly wrong.
Compared to the comprehensive traffic on Google and MapQuest, Bing has a very limited traffic system, which doesn't currently apply to UK maps. In the US, it is restricted to Motorways where traffic data wouldn't show up at all on certain sections of road unless we zoomed in or out - and because Bing's lines are drawn so thinly, traffic can be hard to make out without squinting at the map. (Even figuring out how to turn on the traffic overlay in Bing is tricky; you need to click the traffic light icon in the bottom left corner.) The biggest positive that Bing can claim is its coverage of accident and construction issues: These are clearly noted on the map and are more comprehensive than those of any other service.
Scores: out of 10
Google: 9
Bing: 5
MapQuest: 5

Why creating a book trailer doesn't need to be difficult
We've all seen movie trailers and now we are starting to see the rise of the book trailer too. Just go onto YouTube and search for book trailer, you'll end up with over 2 million search results. I don't know about you but the thought of creating book trailers just feels a bit daunting to me, I hate being videod at the best of times and can't bear listening to recordings of myself either. I have avoided them like the plague. However, eventually I decided that I needed to give in and have a go at creating my own. The book I chose to do one for is LinkedIn Made Easy: Business social networking simplified. It's got a brand new third edition out this year and the time seemed right. Continue reading
The importance of asking for reviews

Which is always very nice :-) Continue reading
About the Author – why it matters in your latest book
If you're like me then you probably have a whole load of different books on the go. I've a pile that consists of the review copies for my Thursday Thronger's, business books, social media analysis and fiction in a variety of genres. With just a couple of exceptions, I rarely follow specific major authors. If they don't have an About the Author page then I might miss out on reading other things they have written, if I enjoyed the book I picked up. With one, there is every chance I might just go and get something else from them too. Continue reading
Asking for reviews and feedback for your books
If there is one thing I've learnt over the years of working with the t'Interweb, it's the importance of asking for feedback. I do this all the time. For instance when women are in touch at The Hysterectomy Association, I'll ask them if they wouldn't mind completing a feedback form; when someone contacts me to tell me how much they enjoyed one of my books, I'll be cheeky and ask if they wouldn't mind adding a review to Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Goodreads.

The Symbiotic Relationship Between Book Bloggers and Authors
The relationship between a book blogger and an author is a strange one; and I touched on the subject earlier on this year when I mentioned in one of my 'Lesson's Learned' posts that I was surprised by the number of authors that didn't actively participate in the promotion of the interviews I'd done with them.
However, I've also had feedback from some of the authors I have worked with that suggests that this lack of participation is not solely the preserve of the authors; book bloggers it seems can also fail to make the most of their opportunity too. Continue reading

Spring tea represents rebirth at Christian Women's Job Corps
For Jacqueline Hutchings, spring is a time for new beginnings, a chance to prune her old life of drugs and abuse and plant a new future for her and her daughters. And spring is a time for Christian Women's Job Corps to show the community through its annual Spring Tea fundraiser how women like Jacqueline can grow and thrive in a healthy atmosphere of love and learning.
The fifth annual Christian Women's Job Corps Spring Tea will be 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. April 13 at the Kemp at the Forum, 2120 Speedway. The event is the biggest fundraiser for the CWJC, raising much-needed money to help get women on their feet through its mentoring and education program.
Hutchings had been clean for nine years when she found Christian Women's Job Corps, but was just "floating" through life with no real purpose. She was free from the grasp of methamphetamine, but her future was unclear.
"One night I went to church and something clicked that time," Jacqueline said. "The sermon was about Joshua 1:9 that says to be strong and courageous. A friend had mentioned Christian Women's Job Corps and I asked her if it will help me get a job. She said no, it will help you with your life."
So Hutchings enrolled Jan. 18 and will graduate from the program May 3. The 14-week program encourages women to be self-confident and productive, while developing meaningful relationships. Classes are Monday through Friday, when women learn computer skills and job preparation as well as participate in Bible studies and group counseling. The course is designed to equip women with basic job and like skills.
"We encourage women and empower women to self-sufficiency," Gabriela Nesbit, executive director of CWJC, said. "There are women like Jacqueline who just need help. The Spring Tea helps raise money so our volunteers can use curriculum materials. And we help the women with bus passes and gas cards and getting their GED's."
Hutchings found freedom and acceptance inside the Christian Women's Job Corps building at 2301 Ninth St.
"When you walk in the door, there's so much love in this room," she said. "It's the teachers, mentors, atmosphere and mostly prayer."
She is open about her past, so she wanted to teach her classmates about the dangers of meth. She made a presentation complete with statistics and pictures, and even pasted her mug shot on the poster board for all to see. She talked about running from her problems at 12 years old, moving out at 17 and fighting the meth monster until she turned 20.
"I got a 95 on my project!" she said.
She loves learning about the Bible, but the boundaries class is her favorite, where she is learning not only physical boundaries, but emotional ones as well. This was an important lesson for her, since she said she has let men push her around all her life.
"I learned about my true personality," she said. "The one I had before all these things happened to me."
Nesbit and the organizers of the Spring Tea invite the community to enjoy an afternoon of sipping tea and listening to speakers Maureen Shelton, district attorney, and Janice Sons, justice of the peace.
"We are advocating for more legal help for women who want to make a change, but can't because they have past due court fines," Nesbit said. "These women can't get hired because they're held back by these problems."
Carol Adams, coordinator of the event, hopes the community will come out and support an important cause.
"We want to tell people how Christian Women's Job Corps can save taxpayers money by encouraging accountability and responsibility of financial issues resulting from joblessness, school dropout, low self-esteem, and poverty," Adams said. "We want to relate how improved self-esteem, better job skills, goals and a more spiritual home life can help students become the independent, godly women they were meant to be."
Hutchings said she wants the community to know how God and Christian Women Job Corps has worked miracles in her life.
"I wish I had known about it years ago, but it's all in God's timing," she said.
And the future is bright for the 29-year-old.
"I'm studying for the ACT and then I'll hopefully apply to college," she said. "I want to go into social work and be a drug counselor. I want to help women see the love of Christ and that they don't have to fall to Satan's tools to soothe their hurt and pain."
The Spring Tea also features a table decorating contest. Guests are encouraged to decorate tables with heirloom china, crystal, collectibles, hobbies, themes or showcase a business. The food is catered by First Baptist Church's Women's Ministry and music is provided by the Wichita Falls Symphony Youth Orchestra Quartet. Individual tickets are $35 and table for eight is $250. No tickets will be sold at the door.
