Cartagena, Colombia Heats Up with Yet Another New Route from JetBlue
Cartagena's so hot right now. New flight routes and a fresh focus on safer tourism in Colombia means more international visitors are arriving to this city of colonial charm and coastal allure. This week we're exploring how to reach and enjoy this city, nicknamed "Door of the Americas."
Winter weather may be a headache for airlines and travelers both, but the change of seasons brings with it one big plus: seasonal routes to sunny destinations!
On October 29 JetBlue stuck another line on their route map with an inaugural flight from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport down to Cartagena Rafael Núńez International Airport in Colombia. That was a busy day for Fort Lauderdale; it launched in tandem with a Las Vegas route out of FLL.

Lufthansa, American Airlines, and Finnair Flaunt New Routes for 2015
Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we've complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Lufthansa:
Good news for those trying to get to—or from—the Sunshine State, as Lufthansa is getting ready to make Tampa one of its newest nonstop destinations. The flights are scheduled to begin on September 25 of next year, so you have quite some time to get the funds in place. Things will begin by heading back and forth four times each and every week, but then things will bump up to five times per week when the weather gets warmer. It'll be Airbus A340s doing the flying, but just note one thing—this will be one of the first flights operated by the carrier's new low cost carrier arm.
· Finnair:
Want to go to Finland? Finnair can take your there from all kinds of different destinations, but beginning next year Chicago becomes a new option. The plan is to start the flights beginning in June of next year, as it'll be a seasonal affair between Chicago-O'Hare and Helsinki. Airbus A330s will do the back and forth thing, and it sounds like the flights will operate thrice weekly. Just be sure not to miss your flight, as things will end for the year on October 17.

Eastern Airlines Seeks to Hire a Few Good Flight Attendants
So earlier this year—like way back in January, wow—we heard about an airline launching under the Eastern Air Lines brand. Well it looks like they must have some funding in place; as it appears that things continue to move forward. Now they're looking for some people to join their planes, so if you ever thought about scoring a flight attendant position now might be the time.
Sure the route network will be limited at first, but getting your foot in the door might just lead to big things further down the line. There's a form to fill out before hand, and we're sure updating that resume is probably a good idea as well. If things go well there's going to be a hiring event on November 22.

Virgin Atlantic's 30th Birthday Brings the Boeing 787-9 to Boston
This isn't just any Tuesday. Today Virgin Atlantic becomes the 25th airline to fly a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, as they inaugurate their new arrival with flights between London-Heathrow and Boston-Logan.
This isn't just any 787, either. Virgin Atlantic is the first European airline to welcome the longer, cooler 787-9 to their fleet, and they do so on their own 30th birthday as an airline, hence the aircraft's name, "Birthday Girl" G-VNEW.
Inside are 198 Economy, 35 Premium Economy, and 31 Upper Class seats, plus a new "Wander Wall" concept in Premium Economy. This is essentially a snack-and-chat station, since the bar is reserved for Upper Class only. Speaking of that barit's been redesigned to fit within the 787-9, but you'll still be able to pop on a barstool and order a Virgin Redhead somewhere 38,000' above the Atlantic Ocean. Instagram it instantly, thanks to long-haul in-flight WiFi onboard.

San Francisco Welcomes the Plush Seats, Posh Meals of JetBlue Mint
If there's one question we've heard over and over since the launch of JetBlue's Mint premium class earlier this year, it's "when will it fly to San Francisco?"
The answer arrived this last Sunday, literally, in the form of a JetBlue A321. This milestone marks the beginning of regular Mint service between JFK and SFO, which comes in addition to the original route of JFK-LAX begun in June.
**21 original photos of the JetBlue Mint seats and service**
Mint seats start at $599 each way, and include custom extras specifically for JetBlue Mint passengers. These include a full, hot meal from NYC's Saxon + Parole, a special customer service line, an amenity kit by Birchbox, a comfy pillow and duvet, and a fully flat bed for optimum nappage.
To book Mint between JFK and LAX or JFK and SFO, simply search your preferred dates on JetBlue.com and look for the green column of Mint fares.

October 29 will bring nonstop flights between Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale too.

· Cathay Pacific:
Heading to Hong Kong is about to get a little bit easier, as Cathay Pacific is preparing for some new nonstop flights to and from the nifty fifty. This time they will be departing from Boston on their way to Hong Kong, and it looks like things are scheduled to takeoff for the first time on May 3, 2015. Once the necessary government seals and stamps are in place the flights will do their thing four times per week, and the flying fun will be completed thanks to some Boeing 777-300ER—complete a true first class cabin!
· Virgin Atlantic:
Great news for those who call the Motor City home, as it looks like Virgin Atlantic is putting the pieces in place for a new route across the pond. The plan is for the carrier to do the nonstop thing between Detroit and London beginning during the summer of 2015. Obviously things can change between now and then, but it does sound like this should be a daily option.

The Airfare Deal That Broke Frontier's Sales Records
Were you part of the big airfare sale the other day? Apparently some kind of record was broken, as Frontier began selling tickets for some of their new flights to and from Cincinnati.
The airline set a one-day record, as they started offering up five new options out of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. In only like six hours or so the airline sold over 5,000 tickets to spots like Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Dallas.

Plan Far Ahead for This Awesome Airfare Deal to Hong Kong
Hong Kong may be clear on the other side of the world from New York, but Cathay Pacific's 777-300ER airplanes can make the journey in one swift hop over the North Pole. Come next spring, they'll even be doing so often with a new nonstop route from Boston-Logan International Airport.
This will be the airline's 6th US destination (following JFK, EWR, SFO, LAX, and ORD). To celebrate, and to fill up their first month of flights with smiling faces, they've launched a deep discount airfare sale on the new route, with roundtrip tickets going for a total of $753.88. That's a whole $4 cheaper than last year's similar launch sale to Newark.

Finnair Flaunts Plans for Their Brand New Airbus A350s
Earlier this summer we were finally able to check out FInnair and their up in the air abilities, but now it looks like we'll have to try them out once again—we know, so difficult. That's because the carrier is anxiously awaiting some brand new planes from the folks over at Airbus. The planes are some A350-XMBs to be specific, and in advance of their arrival the airline is showing off and sharing some images of the cabin.
The design, look, and feel of things are all thanks to the dSign Vertti Kivi & Co firm over in Helsinki. Travelers can expect a more spacious cabin, but that's probably more the airplane than the design team—think larger windows, ambient lighting, and an improved air filtration system.

This article originally appeared on Dr. Mahaney's Pet-Lebrity News column on Pet360.com as How Fish Acupuncture Made Katy Perry and Neil Patrick Harris' Sushi Taste Better .
A hot piece of celebrity news recently caught my attention. According to UK Daily Mail, Katy Perry recently shared a sushi dinner created by Chef Antonio Park with Hedwig and the Angry Inch star Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka. The three dining together at Montreal's Park restaurant doesn't seem like an extraordinary occurrence, but the procedure performed on the creatures served to the trio is definitely unique.
When Perry, Harris, and Burtka partook in their recent sushi dinner, the fish they consumed received acupuncture before ending up as the stars' dinner. Such a pre-serving procedure definitely increases the strangeness quotient of the meal.
Although Perry and Harris have high profile lives and are frequently seen performing on stage, we often don't know what happens behind closed doors. Such insider views are often revealed via the wonder of Instagram, Twitter, or other social media sites.
Perry took to her @KatyPerry Twitter handle to share her experience in saying: Had the best sushi/wagyu from @ChefAntonioPark The wagyu was flown in this morning from JPN & the fish had previously had acupuncture #fancy
It seems that Perry's palate hadn't previously experienced such as speciality, as she posted this follow up tweet crediting her dining companions for bringing her to the restaurant: Also foodie kings @ActuallyNPH & @Davidburtka brought me here so durh.
Harris also took to his @ActuallyNPH Twitter profile to post about their meal, yet he left out the acupuncture part in stating: Had a spectacular meal @ChefAntonioPark 's restaurant Park in Montreal. Do whatever you can to savor his creations.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Asian (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, among other nationalities) art of healing involving insertion of needles into body tissues in specific locations called acupuncture points. These points have scientifically been proven to exist and are located near the convergences of blood and lymphatic vessels, nerves, and other tiny tissues/organ systems vital to whole-body function.
When these points are stimulated through the insertion of needles, injection of liquid, or the application of pressure (acupressure), electricity (electrostimulation), heat (moxibustion) or laser, a variety of energetic changes take place to promote blood circulation, nervous system stimulation, and the release of anti-inflammatory and pain relieving hormones.
Why Would Fish Get Acupuncture?
For fish having their destiny on the dinner plate, the point of performing acupuncture is to calm the fish down so that they'll be less active during transportation, put less stress on their muscles and organs, not die from lack of oxygen during travel, and ultimately taste better to the consumer. This "piscine"-acupuncture technique is called kaimin katsugyo, which translates as "live fish sleeping soundly." Sounds like a pleasant means of reducing the un-pleasantries leading to the grim outcome of being filleted.
Acupuncture can be use to treat a variety of conditions in animals and people. As a certified veterinary acupuncturist (CVA), my patients primarily have diseases associated with inflammation and pain. Such conditions include:
Arthritis- joint inflammation common to pets of varying ages, but especially in adult, geriatric, and overweight and obese animals
Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)- the progression of arthritis to where joint surfaces are irregular and range of motion is limited
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)- decrease in size or mineralization of the discs that support the backbones (vertebral column) that cause the spine or its off-shooting nerves to be pinched and potentially less able to conduct nervous signals
Cancer- Pets having cancer suffer from a variety of secondary health problems, but enlargement of cancerous masses or spreading of cancer cells to distant sites (metastasis) often causes pain.
Musculoskeletal pain- Animals having undergone surgery, incurred acute trauma (hit by car, fight with another animal, bad fall, etc.), or sustained muscle/tendon/ligament damage (cruciate ligament tear, etc.) definitely are in need of pain relief that can be enhanced by acupuncture so less medication may be needed.
Others- behavioral problems (which often are associated with pain and inflammation in side the body), digestive tract upset, immune system diseases (food and environmental allergies, etc.), etc.
How Do Fish Get Acupuncture?
According to the G4TV video Fish Acupuncture, the fish is placed laterally (on the side) on a table where four needles attached to the table penetrate locations on the body corresponding with acupuncture points extrapolated from human acupuncture models. The needles create a calming effect that lasts for an extended time during transportation. There's another technique discussed in the video involving a single acupuncture point, but this special method is a trade secret that can't be revealed.
Make sure to check out the link to the above video, as it's quite remarkable to see the fish remain in a calmer and seemingly sedated state that permits them to remain floating on their backs with their bellies breaking the water's surface.
As a Veterinary Acupuncturist, Have I Ever Performed Acupuncture on Fish?
In my veterinary practice I exclusively treat cats and dogs. I've not yet have a client with a fish that may need acupuncture for a medical issue or for sedation to keep its muscle tissues fresher to yield tastier sushi. Yet, I do live and practice in Los Angeles, where celebrities like Perry and Harris also live, so one never knows what can happen in this town.

Oxygen is an effective prescription drug for hypoxemic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may be used outside the hospital setting for patients who meet the criteria for home oxygen therapy. A physician's prescription will list flow rate, how much oxygen per minute (liters per minute), and when to use the oxygen.
There are three common ways of providing home oxygen therapy:
Each benefit plan, summary plan description or contract defines which services are covered, which services are excluded, and which services are subject to dollar caps or other limitations, conditions or exclusions. Members and their providers have the responsibility for consulting the member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between a Medical Policy and a member's benefit plan, summary plan description or contract, the benefit plan, summary plan description or contract will govern.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana (BCBSMT) may consider h
1. The treating physician has determined that the patient has a severe lung disease or hypoxia related symptoms that might be expected to improve with oxygen therapy, AND
2. The qualifying blood gas study was performed by a physician or by a qualified provider or supplier of laboratory services, AND
3. The qualifying blood gas study was obtained under the following conditions:
4. Alternative treatment measures have been tried or considered and deemed clinically ineffective, AND
5. The patient's blood gas study must fall into one of the following group criteria ranges:
NOTE: Initial coverage for patients meeting Group I and II criteria is limited to 12 months or the physician specified length of need, whichever is shorter. Prescription must be renewed on an annual basis.
Home oxygen therapy and supplies are considered medically necessary for infants and children with a PO2 less than or equal to 60mmHg or O2 saturation at or below 92%.
Home oxygen therapy and supplies are considered medically necessary for the treatment of cluster headaches.
Oxygen therapy and associated supplies are not considered medically necessary if any of the following conditions exist:
A portable oxygen system is considered medically necessary:
A qualifying blood gas study (arterial blood gas (ABG) test or an oximetry test) must be performed by qualified provider (a laboratory, an independent diagnostic testing facility, or a physician). Blood gas studies performed by a supplier are not acceptable.
Policy Guidelines
Portable Oxygen Contents: Allowed separately if the patient rents or owns a portable system and owns a concentrator, OR has no stationary system.
Travel Oxygen: It is the patient's responsibility to arrange for oxygen when traveling outside of their supplier's usual service area. Oxygen services furnished by an airline are noncovered services.
Literature on patients with continuous hypoxemia and COPD supports the use of supplemental oxygen to improve survival. It is said to improve pulmonary hemodynamics and extend the life of the patient. Additionally, in patients with hypoxemia, a select group may show improvement in neuropsychologic function when provided with supplemental oxygen. Two controlled studies have documented survival benefits of oxygen therapy in COPD patients whose PaO2 is <55 mm Hg: the British Medical Research Council study and the Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy Trial (NOTT). These randomized controlled clinical trials conducted in the late 1970's established the scientific foundation for long term oxygen therapy.
In patients with borderline hypoxemia (PaO2>60mmHg), the scientific literature is less clear in terms of improvement in function. Studies have shown that nocturnal distortion occurs in 25% to 45% of patients with severe COPD who are not hypoxemic while awake. Nocturnal oxygen therapy is recommended for such patients who have congestive heart failure, cor pulmonale, or erythrocytosis. Oxygen therapy during exercise should be prescribed for patients with severe COPD who become hypoxemic only while exercising. This therapy can assist in rehabilitation and allow increased activity level.
When compared to being in the hospital, living at home with added oxygen therapy allows control of daily life and generally improves quality of life.
2009 Update
A search of peer reviewed literature through September 2009 identified no new clinical trial publications or any additional information that would change the coverage position of this medical policy.

What comes after content marketing? Here are four ideas.
Feb 24th
I've been thinking and writing a lot about the evolving role of content in the marketing world — from the challenges of the "physics" of social media marketing, to Coke's bold vision for a content-based marketing strategy.
My friend Mitch Joel has also been pondering this topic. In a post entitled The Content Crash, Mitch states that the field has simply "become a pumping ground for a marketing message. Very few (companies) are thinking about utilitarianism marketing and even fewer are thinking about the overall experience."
Content is advertising?
But here is the line in Mitch's post that stung me: "It is my belief, that content is the new advertising."
Wait a minute. People HATE advertising. Does this mean that people are increasingly hating our content too?
Advertising is a paid interruption in an otherwise pleasant stream of content. Is content becoming an unpleasant interruption in our lives, too? With this native advertising trend of craftily embedding paid messages in "free" content, are the lines hopelessly blurred so that content marketing is suspicious and meaningless? Are content marketers the new snake oil shills?
Mitch contends that for content — sponsored or otherwise — to work, it must be exceedingly useful. So what does that mean? What could a possible game plan be to become the signal instead of the noise in this overly-crowded space?
Here are four possible scenarios in a "post content marketing" environment.
Radical trust
It seems that when bloggers reach critical audience mass, most succumb to the temptation of taking money to pump paper shredders, luggage, weight loss programs or any other product willing to exchange a fast buck for audience trust. Once you cross that line, your content becomes an ad, not something that is exceedingly useful.
Here is a chart that I believes graphically demonstrates the impact of turning your content into an advertisement – the Alexa traffic rank of a blogger who began aggressively monetizing their blog through sponsored posts in 2011:
In just 18 months, the popular site has dropped from position 5,000 to 30,000. Other key metrics such as reach and pageviews have similarly dropped off the cliff. Of course this is just one data point and we can't necessarily make a conclusion about absolute cause and effect, but I think a strong hypothesis is that this blog is hemorrhaging because it is no longer a trusted source of content. It is an infomercial.
I think one possible lesson as we look to the future is to create a content environment of radical trust. Once you become an ad, you can never go back. I think this chart demonstrates the business case for trust.
Content that learns
In Don Tapscott's fine book Grown Up Digital, he makes the case that the Net Generation puts a huge premium on customization.
The Baby Boomers take technology for what it is and hope it works. Net Geners make the technology theirs. They want options. They love to customize, and even the option to customize makes a product more attractive.
Why would they want your news stream when they can create their own? How do we enable our content consumers to determine HOW, WHEN and WHAT they receive from us?
While we have rudimentary forms of aggregation available to us — by topic, by keyword, by author, for example — we need to create self-aware content that conforms to the immediate needs of our customers.
This is happening to a large degree with display ads. If you type an email in the gmail platform, the sidebar ads may change to reflect the topic you are writing about. Spooky when it comes to ads, but immensely useful when it comes to content. Although we are collecting vast amounts of information about our customers, we have yet to unleash it in a way that is relevant for a moment in time.
An example: A reader of {grow} has just visited Stanford Smith's blog and searched about blogging fundamentals. When she comes to {grow} she is offered a suggestion of similar topics, in addition to the latest news from my site. Or perhaps readers help the process along by choosing the precise topics they want to see and the hourly, daily, or weekly level of delivery for those topics.
Content that pays
I think we are on the cusp of seeing a merging between content marketing and the gamification trend. Why not reward your most loyal readers with badges and award levels after completing certain tasks? A frequent flyer program for content.
Would you like to receive a Platinum Reward Level on {grow} after so many comments, shares or page views? I am already seeing some sites that are creating Foursquare-style badges and leaderboards for participating in site activities.
As it becomes harder and harder to cut through the web's information density, isn't it logical that companies would start paying you to view their information?
Making the leap to something entirely new
We are probably 24 months away from the augmented reality revolution. The Internet, and content, will surround us like the air that we breathe. There will be an opportunity to create content in an entirely different way — in three dimensions, in the moment of need, on voice command. Blogs, podcasts and even videos may seem old-fashioned. There will be a huge advantages and opportunities for the pioneers of this entirely new vision of content.
Beyond "overwhelming"
Here's a dirty secret of content marketing. Today it is possible to win the inbound lead battle simply by being first and overwhelming, a trend I characterized last year as the content arms race. You don't have to be great. You don't even have to be good. And to some extent it is even possible to fake your way to the top. But that can't last. The market will adjust. Something has to emerge that will trump strategies based on sponsored posts, social proof, and commodity content.
I've provided four scenarios but what are your ideas? How are you going to move your brand beyond the noise and become the signal?

The level playing field has turned into a content arms race
Nov 14th
Have I ever told you how much I love Gini Dietrich? For me, she is such an amazing role model for dong it right on the social web. And if you're one of the five people on earth not already following her Spin Sucks blog, go do that now.
Gini is a smart and savvy friend and we don't always see eye to eye, which makes her an even better friend. Last week she penned a post about how Facebook seems to be unfairly squeezing money from us by forcing us to use paid promoted posts to reach people who are already following us. It's a good point of course, but I fell off Gini's wagon at this point:
The awesome thing about the web and social media, in particular, is it levels the playing field. No longer do you need millions of dollars to spend on PR firms and ad agencies in order to build your brand and reputation among the masses.
Today all you need is a good writer, a self-hosted website and/or blog, and organically grown social networks. With those three things, you suddenly are competing with the big boys for reputation and credibility. You're seen as a thought leader in your industry. You're creating kinship among your prospects. And you're selling in a way that has never before been possible.
All of the tools are free so it's a really low barrier to entry. And it works.
You see, I have been thinking just the opposite about our social media world. Yes, three years ago Gini was probably right. When the social web was young almost any foray into social media was novel and attracted attention. It was pretty cheap and the entry barriers were indeed low. You could post a video of a bride falling into a swimming pool and it would go viral.
No longer.
Today YouTube is mainstream entertainment fueled by slick corporate video content. People have increasingly sophisticated expectations about what they're going to find on your Facebook page, Twitter stream, or blog.
I recently saw a statistic that stated there was more information created on the web in the last two years than all of human history combined. I don't know if that is true or not and I rarely let facts get in the way of a good story anyway, so let's just say it makes a point — there is an enormous amount of data to get through these days. Heck, even Mashable makes me dizzy.
The content arms race
To succeed on the social web today you better bring your A Game and a bucket of money. To connect with customers today you need to consistently provide useful, relevant, and entertaining content — and that is not cheap. And as the information density on the web increases, so too will the cost to produce that great content.
Yes, yes, I know there are plenty of companies who are still finding niche success with modest social media programs but as soon as their competitors get in the game, the content arms race begins.
As I wrote recently, the social web is NOT a level playing field. There is definitely a first-mover advantage for people who have the money to create useful content and overwhelming amounts of it (which then become entrenched in the search rankings). In the long term, you probably will NOT be competing with the "big boys" (as Gini states) with just a writer and a blog.
Social media is a mainstream marketing and communication channel that will increasingly be dominated by those with the fattest wallets. Agree?

The ultimate content marketing challenge
Oct 30th
The other day I was a witness to content marketing murder.
I was eating breakfast in a hotel dining room which was partially occupied by a BNI networking meeting. A local marketing "expert" was describing how he propelled a new dentist's office to the top of the Google rankings through his content marketing genius. His story went like this:
"I found that one of the most popular search terms in the dental category was asking about dental care for children. So we created three videos answering those questions. Then we made very small changes to those videos that resulted in 50 more videos. By placing them in many online channels, we actually created 300 different content placements from the original investment in three similar videos. We now own the first nine spots on Google for this search term."
Here is the sneaky little secret of content marketing. You don't need to have the best product or service to win. You don't need to be the best marketer to win. You don't even have to create the best content to win. You just need to be first and overwhelming.
This is something that bothers me about the SEO-driven content marketing system. There seems to be such a huge advantage to the first-mover who creates a steady stream of content that I'm not sure there is a cost-effective way to catch up. I know some commenters will say that the key is to create even better content. But we all know that better content can't win if it can't be found in the first place.
So here is the ultimate content marketing challenge — what if you DO have the best product but you're second to market? How do you cut through the persistent clutter of determined SEO gamesters to even have a chance in the search ranking war? What if you're very late to the party and you're getting your ass kicked?

Content Marketing strategy: Are you good, fast, or cheap?
Sep 26th
By {grow} Community Member Andy Crestodina
There's a saying in the manufacturing world: "There's good, fast and cheap. You can choose two." No business can offer all three.
It's true throughout the service industry and in all forms of production. It's why you can't order a sirloin steak for $5 at a drive-through window. It's simply a law of business, like the law of gravity.
I thought of this after reading one of Mark Schaefer's posts last month, How the physics of social media is killing your marketing strategy. It was a straight-forward post with a powerful message: We're entering an era where the content is being produced faster than ever, but our attention spans are not. Comparing this to colliding forces in physics, Mark points out that it's going to get a lot harder to "maintain mindshare."
He suggested three possible responses:
- Create increasingly spectacular content (be more amazing).
- Create content at a lower cost (reduce the time invested in generating content).
- Place your content in front of existing audiences (PR, News-jacking, guest blogging).
Sound familiar? These align with the three possible approaches in business. When we think about Mark's recommendations, we see that they align with strategies which, in turn, align with specific tactics. Let's take a look …
You can be GOOD
Produce the best content you can, even if it means staying tightly focused on a few topics. Survive by becoming the trusted authority on a narrow topic.
- Conduct and publish original research.
- Write the ebook/guide that answers prospects' questions.
- Produce infographics, videos and epic posts.
High quality content with specific focus is just what Google loves, so this strategy works well with search optimization.
You can be FAST
Produce content quickly and efficiently, by delegating and curating. Survive by producing lots of content and making lots of connections.
- Email interviews to thought leaders, turn their responses into posts.
- Source topics and content from sources inside your company.
- Solicit guest posts from influencers through guest blogger outreach.
Since you'll be involving more people and keeping frequency high, this strategy works well with social media.
You can be CHEAP
Publications have pre-packaged audiences that you can leverage by paying close attention to the changing interests of the press and popular blogs. Survive by being at the right place at the right time.
- Find the sites where your audience spends time, and submit guest posts.
- Nurture relationships with editors and journalists. Establish yourself as a source.
- Watch HARO and Reporter Connection. Respond quickly to relevant topics.
If you're able to jump in when the timing and topic are right, this strategy works well with PR.
Adapt and survive
Yes, there is a crush of content coming. But you can avoid getting sucked into the black hole if you have a plan. Consider your goals and your strengths, and then choose your survival strategy.
Which survival strategy are you using? (Please don't tell us it's a combination of all three!)

This week we discuss, in free form, the release of the latest Android-based e-readers, the Kobo, the Kindle Fire and the Nook. We wonder if they can be considered a different class of tablets from the pricier devices, such as the iPad or Galaxy Tab. We then pay our final respects to Flash mobile, as Adobe announced it will stop developing Flash mobile in order to put more effort into HTML5. We also drift into a discussion of how developers will start working on HTML5 instead of native apps, and if phones and tablets will become more powerful and not need to run native code.

Since City Colleges began taking applications for a plan widely advertised as "free college" by a campaigning Mayor Rahm Emanuel, more than 1,000 students have applied for the offer of waived tuition, books and school fees. But research shows that City Colleges are not the best post-secondary choice for high-achieving students who will benefit from the Star Scholarship.
Charter schools stress college-going support
College counseling has become more important to high schools since CPS now rates them on the college enrollment and persistence of their graduates. It's an area in which charters sometimes have a distinct advantage.
More students on non-traditional path to a degree
Nationwide, more than one-third of undergraduate students are over 24, and a majority of them attend college part-time.
Black Chicago by the numbers
When Rahm Emanuel ran for mayor four years ago, African-American voters pulled him across the finish line without a run-off. He won about six out of every 10 votes cast in predominantly black wards—largely on the say-so of his former boss, President Barack Obama. But as the February mayoral election nears, Emanuel's approval ratings among the voters who carried him to City Hall have tumbled, according to aChicago Tribune poll.
Quick to punish
Students caught with an ounce or less of marijuana are more likely to be arrested in school than a student who starts a fight or steals. Hundreds of teens are arrested each year for drug offenses involving pot—offenses that may warrant only a ticket for adult Chicagoans.
Threatened with expulsion
CPS says it wants to lower expulsions. But a new policy allows schools to send students threatened with expulsion directly to alternative schools, even before a legal hearing.
Turnaround to turnover
In the summer before a turnaround, schools that have been left to languish for years experience an adrenaline rush of frenetic energy. But at many of the turnarounds, the optimism almost immediately begins to unravel. Nowhere is this more evident than with the revolving door the turnaround sets in motion with teachers.
Keeping a faculty whole
Principal Brian Metcalf didn't try to clear the decks when he took over Field Elementary. Instead, he jumped in the trenches to work with teachers instead of showing them the door.
Jumping the ship
The price tag to replace the thousands of teachers who leave CPS schools each year is $71.5 million. The academic cost of turnover is highest for poor students of color in distressed communities, who are most likely to see their teachers leave for easier jobs in other districts and other careers.
A new end game
Career education is no longer just about preparing students to enter the workforce. In line with a national trend of 'college for all' and the reality that most good-paying jobs require education beyond high school, CPS has overhauled its career education programs to make college the ultimate goal.

Penn St. falls 75-58 to No .15 Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS Penn State's Tim Frazier tried everything Thursday in Indianapolis. He scored seemingly whenever he wanted. He hit 3-pointers. He played defense and he found open teammates.
He just didn't have enough help.
The Nittany Lions guard scored 19 points in the first half and finished with 26 in a 75-58 first-round loss to No. 15 Indiana in the Big Ten tournament.
"I think they went to a zone, they were able to try and keep me out of the paint," Frazier said of the defensive changes in the second half.
Penn State ended its first season under coach Patrick Chambers at 12-20 and with a far earlier exit than last year when the Nittany Lions wound up as the tourney runner-ups to Ohio State.
Frazier did his part. He went 4 of 6 on 3-pointers, had four assists and five steals. But Trey Lewis was the only other Penn State player to reach double figures with 11 points. And the Nittany Lions shot just 28.6 percent from the field in the second half.
Chambers knew that wasn't going to get the job done against a team that has won five in a row and may be playing its best basketball of the season.
"Indiana played great basketball. They played very tough, very physical," he said. "We wanted to take away their 3s, for us, we did a pretty good job. But they drove the basketball. They did some pretty good things."
Especially Jordan Hulls and Cody Zeller, who turned Bankers Life Fieldhouse into their own personal playground.
Hulls scored 20 points, while Zeller had 19 points and 10 rebounds as Indiana ended a six-game losing streak in the tourney, which dated to 2006. Hulls and Zeller, both Mr. Basketball Award winners, also won high school state championships in this building.
"It's not my first time playing here," Hulls said. "Shots were falling down for me, teammates were finding me when I was open and I created a little bit on my own. So luckily, the shot was falling down."
For the Hoosiers (25-7), it's yet another feat to add to an impressive resume.
After becoming the first league school in nearly six decades to beat a No. 1 and No .2 team in the same season, after winning a school record 18 games at Assembly Hall and producing the first perfect non-conference season since 1989-90, Indiana now has its first postseason victory since beating Gonzaga in the first round of the 2007 NCAA tournament.
Their last win in Big Ten tourney play was a 61-56 decision over Wisconsin on March 10, 2006.
If the Hoosiers can beat No. 14 Wisconsin, the tourney's No. 4 seed, in Friday's quarterfinals, Indiana will have its most wins since the 1992-93 team won 31 games, the Big Ten regular-season crown and came within one victory of reaching the Final Four.
Hulls missed only 3 of 10 shots, two of those from 3-point range. Zeller made just 4 of 9 field goals but 11 of 15 free throws and dominated the middle.

"Surfing....the Canadian way...." Lawrencetown Things to Do Tip by marcoparco
Lawrencetown Things to Do: 1 reviews and 1 photos
There is very little surf worthy ocean on the east coast of Canada where I live. The only place that I am aware of is the southshore of Nova-Scotia (the hubbie province of New-Brunswick). Lawrencetown is probably the most popular place. It has a public beach that allows for surfing and aslo swimming if you are brave enough (brrrrrr).

Measuring rain with your windshield wipers
By Bethany Brookshire, 14:47 PM December 13, 2013
Do you have a rain gauge in your yard or at your school? They are handy devices to teach students about rainfall over time. The simplest ones look like test tubes. A fancier type, a traditional tipping bucket rain gauge, gathers water in a funnel and pours it on the higher end of a little seesaw. Every time the seesaw fills with water and tips, it makes an electrical "mark." By looking at the number of marks and how close together they are, a scientist can tell both how much rain fell and how...

I definitely understand more after the clarificaiton, and interesting enough, the vast majority of djokovics shots are in those two triangles. It definitely is more interesting to think about than the old adage of "hit deep"
I think a major problem i have struggled with myself is I haven't focused on hitting to zones, or smart targets as you refer to them (which I like). And the next time i'm on the court I will definitely be thinking about these and focusing on hitting into these zones when i am in an attacking position.
What a super job there BU! Thanks, I really appreciate the work.
I bet you can see while most shots do fall in the target zone, that most of the rest could be seen as the result of going for the targets and just missing. The idea with these targets is to give a reference more than to actually hit them. They provide a reference that helps to guide your intent in a way that allows you to be aggressive, but not reckless.
One question. How did you figure the scale? Do you think the side of the triangle by the doubles ally should be a bit closer? Not complaining, but just wondering cause that side margin on the target looks just a little to big, about like the line for the back 3ft. Really is not important due to explanation above about how to use the target though.

I just read the article
I really want to use these icons in my next theme but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to include them in the file? Am I okay to use them but take them out the final download?
read the license
Not for free. You need either the commercial or the extended license, not sure, check the terms there. I guess it's the commercial license.
Hmmm….yeah thought as much. I did read the license, I kinda thought that maybe I could use theme in the live preview/screenshots but not in the actual download?

Russell Hobby, the general secretary of England's National Association of Head Teachers, responded to findings that teachers increasingly are becoming victims of cyberbullying by saying that social media websites, such as Facebook, are a threat to the country's schools. "Increasingly, social media are being used to fuel campaigns against schools and teachers," he said. "Twenty per cent of our members have received threats or abuse online -- parents or ex-pupils being the most common source. The results can be devastating."

Jodie Foster, in a sign things are getting very serious with her photographer girlfriend, Alexandra Hedison, is forsaking booze, and even attending support meetings in an effort to show her lover, a recovered alcoholic herself, how committed she is to the relationship.
The two-time Oscar winner's "joined Alcoholics Anonymous and has embraced a 12-step program," a friend told Star. "Now Alex has no reservations about spending their lives together … now they are both sober."
The actress-director, 51, was persuaded by Hedison — a 44-year-old recovering alcoholic with more than a decade of sobriety under her belt — to make the moves after Foster's casual drinking became a tangible issue between the two, Star reported.
PHOTOS: Jodie Foster Selling Los Angeles Estate, Asking $5.75 Million
Hedison, who dated Ellen DeGeneres from 2001 until 2004, was often prone to watching the comic imbibe with wine as she fought to resist the urges to drink, a predicament Foster has vowed not to repeat.
The Silence of the Lambs star, who was the talk of Hollywood after her revealing speech at last year's Golden Globes "refuses to make the same mistake," Degeneres did, says the pal.

"She's finally found the woman of her dreams," the source told Star, "so giving up alcohol was nothing for her."
"Alex wants Jodie to be sober for at least a year before they tie the knot and then it's full-speed ahead with the nuptials. They're crazy in love."

Kings of Pastry
Thursday, September 16, 2010
Legendary documentary filmmaking team D A Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus discuss the world of fantastical French pastry. Their film "Kings of Pastry" documents the competition for the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, France's highest honor in the art of patisserie. They're joined by chef Jacquy Pfeiffer, co-founder of Chicago's French Pastry School. The film follows him as he journeys to his childhood home of Alsace to practice for the contest. "Kings of Pastry" is playing at Film Forum through September 28.
Guests:Chris Hegedus, D.A. Pennebaker and Jacquy Pfeiffer
Comments [2]
If you're a pastry chef & feel you're going through the dark woods, my advice is to make Black Forest cake!
Miles, if you want to improve your French pronunciation, please start by saying "Frahnce," not "Frohnce." I don't understand why so many Americans pronounce -an- in French words/names as if it were -on- (like "Mitterond," when it's "Mitterand"), but it really bugs me. Something to do w/the nasalized vowels, maybe.

Although rumors of John F. Kennedy's alleged cheating have run rampant for years, a tell-all book about a high-end prostitution ring could have taken down the former president and several other notables.
Madame Claude's now-famous prostitution network also allegedly served Marlon Brando, the Shah of Iran and Moammar Khadafy. Although no books have been written about these high-end clients, author William Stadiem recalled meeting Madame Claude to pitch a tell-all book after she had escaped to L.A. on tax evasion charges in 1977.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Sexcapades — Tinseltown's 36 Sleaziest Prostitution Scandals
Despite being tight-lipped about her clientele, eventually Madame Claude opened up to the author.
"In time she was comfortable enough to drop names for the proposal," Stadiem writes in Vanity Fair. "There was John Kennedy requesting a Jackie lookalike 'but hot.'
PHOTOS: Remembering the Kennedys
"There was Aristotle Onassis and Maria Callas showing up with depraved requests that made Claude blush. There was . . . Gianni Agnelli taking a post-orgy group to Mass."
Apparently publishers weren't as interested in the book as others might be, as it never saw the light of day.
