The Best Diet Plans for Type 2 Diabetes
Looking to lose weight and get your blood sugar under control? You have a lot of programs to choose from.
"The more weight you lose, the more you'll improve your levels. But how you do it is largely up to you," says Michael Dansinger, MD, director of the Diabetes Reversal Program at Tufts Medical Center and nutrition doctor for NBC's The Biggest Loser.
Still, some options are healthier and safer than others, so talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian before you get started. In the meantime, read up on some of the most popular plans.
1. The DASH Diet
Best known for keeping high blood pressure in check, the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet is also an excellent choice for people with diabetes.
"It's a plant-focused diet that's rich in fruit, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, as well as low-fat dairy, lean meat, fish, poultry, whole grains, and heart-healthy fats," says Sonya Angelone, RD, a consulting nutritionist and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "It's easy to follow, healthy for the whole family, and great for weight loss."
The fact that it's been proven to lower blood pressure is a major bonus, adds Toby Smithson, RD, a certified diabetes educator and founder of DiabetesEveryDay.com. "Nearly two out of three people with diabetes also have hypertension," she says.
2. The Mediterranean Diet
Lots of fresh, seasonal food, plenty of produce, heart-healthy olive oil, and a little wine make the Mediterranean Diet an enjoyable choice for people with diabetes, says Constance Brown-Riggs, RD, a certified diabetes educator and author of The African American Guide to Living Well With Diabetes.
This style of eating can help with blood sugar control, as well as heart disease risk, according to the American Diabetes Association.
Studies show that people are more likely to stick to this plan, "so it may help you avoid yo-yo dieting," Smithson says.
If you want to follow the Mediterranean Diet, Smithson suggests working with a dietitian. "Fifty percent of the foods in this diet come from the carbohydrate group. Even though they're healthy carbs, they need to be accounted for throughout the day."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

Brownell estimated that even a tax of 1 cent on each canned soft drink purchase would raise $1.5 billion per year. Taxing 1 cent on each bag of chips or snack food could, in theory, generate hundreds of millions of annually. U.S. News & World Report called the plan one of 16 "smart ideas to fix the world" in 1997.
And the food industry has pushed back on this and others' ideas they believe are not so smart. The Center for Consumer Freedom, a nonprofit coalition of restaurants, food companies and consumers, called Brownell a "food nanny" and likened his idea to a "weed or a virus" that has spread all the way to England and New Zealand.
The group also released a print ad with the caustic message: "You are too stupid to make your own food choices." It warned consumers about the "food police" imposing taxes on foods "they don't want you to eat."

Dr. Wade has provided and directed my health care for 20 years. He is friendly and very helpful with general questions and anticipates my medical needs. He and his staff/associates are the best. I am very confident with his care.
I absolutely love Dr. Wade.He is very caring and seems genuinely happy to see me and to do whatever he can to help me feel better. He's very difficult to get in to see so I try to schedule my appts. way in advance. I do not like their phone system. The wait on the phone is very long. I guess I will endure it though, to see Dr. Wade.
Once you can actually get in there and through the unpleasant front office staff the doctors are pretty good. You will have a 1o plus minute hold to even reach someone to make an appointment, and they will not try to squeeze you in, apologize for it and think it's funny when you complain about the long phone hold. I discovered my doctor was no longer there and mentioned they may want to take his name off thier answering machine. I then asked about making an appointment for Saturday and she said they are not open on Saturday, so I said she may want to take that part off thier answering machine as well. The hold greeting says over and over they take appointments on Saturdays.
I have seen Dr Wade for over 10 years now and would recommend him to everyone. He actually listens to what you say and tries to make a diffe...
I recomended him to my new wife, we felt he was in a rush to get to next pt. he gave her shots w\\o telling her he was going to. he belittled...
I was first introduced to Dr Wade over 20 years ago, by my daughter and son-in-law. He has the absolute best bedside manner and really listens. Many of my friends in my work place needed a really good doctor to handle very serious problems. I always referred Dr. Wade. They were all very happy they went to him. The biggest joy I had was overhearing people talk good about him to others, and suggesting they go to him also. It was like a seed that was planted, and others were watering it and it was blooming beautifully. Go to Dr. Wade if you want real compassion from a doctor, you will never regret it!Dr. Wade, should you see this ...Thank you so much for all you do.
I have been going to Dr Wade for over 20 years and 4 office changes. My only complaint is his practice has grown with every move. So I don't always get to see him and have to end up with whoever is available. Which I don't care for, so I try and make appointments far enough in advance. Because I do trust his decisions and like his personal follow-ups, instead of just having an office staffer call me or making me come back in for test results. He watches out for my pocketbook too which in these times is important. I would recommend him, but I am sorry he doesn't need more patients!
good doctor my wife referred me to him when i couldnt get in to see my regular doctor and he is now my primary care physician
Dr Wade has been my doctor for many years. He has quite a lot of patients so if it is an urgent matter you may have to see someone else in ...
My whole family has been going to Dr Wade for many years. He is the most considerate, caring and attentive physician I have every been treated by. Besides being thorough he personally calls you regarding any test results. Even though he is a very busy doctor he is so worth the wait.
Dr. Wade is the most compassionate man we have encountered in a very long time. He is extremely passionate about his work, and his patients. If you need to have tests done outside of his office, you can rest assured that Dr. Wade will personally contact you the next day with your results. He works very long hours, even coming into the office at 5:30 a.m. to see patients before their work day begins. My husband has to have a protime test done every 4 weeks and many times those results come in on Saturdays. Dr. Wade will call us on a Saturday with his test results. You will never feel like just a number with Dr. Wade. He will take care of your every need. I highly recommend him.
The "IdealDoctor": Dr Wade shows us that our health is very important to him personally. He trully cares for eack of his patients. He is a well informed, knowledgeable, practical,and talented physician with a good sense of humor and a lot of empathy.

Child support guidelines are an integral part of many New Jersey divorce proceedings involving children. The forms are completed by both parents and are considered by the court when establishing or modifying child support.
To ensure that they accurately reflect the costs of rearing children, federal law mandates that NJ child support guidelines be reviewed every four years. Not surprisingly, the latest round of changes takes the recent tough economic times into account, reflecting the economic reality that many families have been forced to get by with less.
New Jersey's child support guidelines are based on the "Income Shares Model," which considers both parents' incomes when determining support obligations. It also presumes the child to be entitled to the same amount of expenditures as when the parents were married. The expenses considered in the guidelines reflect national data on household expenditures collected by U.S. Department of Labor, known as the federal Consumer Expenditure Survey ("CEX").

With a star turn like that at its center, a movie doesn't need too much more, but Dreamgirls has plenty to go around. Its sense of showmanship is overflowing, from the opening talent-contest revue in which Detroit teenagers Deena (Beyoncé Knowles), Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose), and Effie (Hudson) are picked to sing backup for the glitter-outfitted James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy, cannily cast as a onetime legend whose best moves have been stolen by younger performers), through to their farewell concert as the Dreams a decade later. The director, Bill Condon, who also adapted Dreamgirls for the screen, has the disposition of a vaudeville entertainerhe wants to give you your money's worth and then some.
Most, I suspect, will not go home unhappy. Arriving in a renaissance period for the big-budget Hollywood musical, Dreamgirls is by far the best of a crop that includes the Oscar-winning Chicago, which Condon himself penned. Among that picture's many failings, it seemed vaguely embarrassed to even be a musical in the first place, relegating its production numbers to fantasy sequences set inside its characters' heads and otherwise making sure to give the audience fair warning: "OK. Don't be frightened. We're going to sing now." Dreamgirls, despite being similarly set in a theatrical milieu, feels no such compunction. Its characters don't just sing directly to one another, in the real world, but when they do, what they're singing about actually moves the story forward.
So it pains me to say that, on some crucial level, Dreamgirls falls short of expectations. Largely, the source material is at fault: Written by Tom Eyen (with music by Henry Krieger) and staged by the legendary director-choreographer Michael Bennett, the Broadway version of Dreamgirls drew much attention for its thinly-veiled fictionalization of Berry Gordy Jr.'s Motown Records and the behind-the-scenes drama of Gordy's girl-group phenom the Supremes. But by now, so much of Dreamgirls' real estate has been overdeveloped by the rash of Broadway and big-screen music biographies (Ray, Walk the Line, Jersey Boys) that it's tough to get too worked up over yet more scenes of naive young vocalists hearing their song on the radio for the first time, encountering the ugly face of racism, and discovering that fame isn't all it's cracked up to be. And as both play and film, Dreamgirls takes a kid-gloves approach to its most intriguing subject: the way that black music moguls like Gordy systematically watered down grinding soul rhythms with vanilla pop melodies in the name of "crossing over" black artists to the pop charts.
It's only logical, then, that Dreamgirls should prove more absorbing in its second half, when Effie comes to dominate the story and when the movie itself becomes less about the path to stardom and more about what happens after you've made it (or haven't). That's also when Condon, who occasionally seems overwhelmed by the sheer bigness of the production, stops trying to wow us with one high-energy production number after another and recaptures in a few key scenes the exquisite intimacy of his two nonmusical biopics, Kinsey and Gods and Monsters. It's then that Condon grasps what has eluded most of his contemporaries: Anyone can give us the old razzle-dazzle, but what makes a movie musical soar is nothing more or less than the quiet exhilaration of two individuals on the screen, enraptured by song.

Ultimate Holiday Gift: Instant Peace! Award-Winning Relaxation CD by Stress Relief Expert Susie Mantell Soothes Stress, Insomnia, Depression, Pain
Award-winning stress management expert Susie Mantell, of Relax Intuitâ"¢LLC, customizes stress reduction programs for Fortune 100 companies, world-class hospitals and spas. With a voice described as "liquid," Mantell has created the bestselling 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace.' The clinically approved, exquisitely soothing stress relief audiobook on CD is the uniquely thoughtful (affordable!) 2010 holiday gift that gently soothes away layer-after layer of stress, worry, depression, while enhancing overall wellness.
Chappaqua, NY (PRWEB) October 19, 2010
Award-winning stress-management expert, Susie Mantell, author of the critically acclaimed relaxation CD, 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace," explains, "Simply put, stress is the healthy response of the body-mind to anything that disturbs it. Mother Nature has hard-wired us with a clever stressresponse system including reserves for coping with emergencies, but when we sound the alarm habitually, the system is literally 'stressed' beyond efficiency." Mantell continues, "Depleted, we become more susceptible to illness, depression, and forgetfulness. In today's recession culture, the overdraft on the national Peace of Mind account is resulting in a society often exhausted, anxious, achy, ill, and more than a little cranky." Mediation is a gently effective stress management technique recommended by physicians across diverse disciplines to reduce stress, enhance sleep, and create inner peace. But in today's fast-paced world, who has time to learn how to meditate?
Meditation Made Simple: Ultimate Holiday Gift — 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace'
In Mantell's stress management work with clients including The Coca-Cola Company, Verizon, New York Presbyterian Hospital, National Cancer Survivors Day and Canyon Ranch Spa, participants universally request help with everyday stress and insomnia. In response to the pervasive need for simple, quick relaxation, [Susie Mantell created, 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace.' (Publisher: Relax Intuitâ"¢ LLC) Mantell's guided Imagery requires no prior training and can be powerfully effective from the very first listening. Like an easy chair, with a voice described as "liquid," Mantell's award-winning narration carries listeners into deep, effortless relaxation. "Within each of us there's a place that knows perfect peace," explains Mantell. " 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace,' allows the body-mind to pause, rebalancing in the open space." 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace' is highly effective for beginners and seasoned meditators alike.
What Makes This Stress Relief CD Different?
In a recession holiday season, 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace,' is the uniquely thoughtful (affordable!) holiday gift that creates exquisite comfort of a spa vacation — for just $14.95! According to Relaxintuit.com 's Vivian Badagliacca, "Men and women of all ages enjoy the healing comfort again and again, and each recipient fondly remembers who gave them, 'Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace.' Clinically approved, listeners include The Mayo Clinic, Sloan-Kettering, Hazelden, VA hospitals, world-class spas, and everyday folks who could just really use a good night's sleep. Mantell's warm narration soothes the worry out of sleepless nights releasing layer-after-layer of tension, carrying listeners into an oasis from a stressful schedule, or prelude to deep, restful sleep. Exquisitely packaged for personal and business gift-giving, each beautiful cover bears a gold embossed award seal, (Publishers Weekly's "Best Audios" Award). "Even the CD inside is exquisitely screened in silver." Badagliacca adds. "Tired of arriving with the same wine or generic gift?

Jets RB Washington signs tender, hopeful for camp
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Leon Washington has no hard feelings. He just can't wait to get back on the field for the New York Jets.
The running back signed his tender contract offer Thursday, and hopes to be recovered from a broken right leg in time for training camp.
"It's great to be back," a healthy-looking Washington said. "Walking in today, I felt all the love like I've felt the past four years."
Washington, a fourth-round pick in 2006, received a second-round tender last month worth $1.759 million. The restricted free agent signing period ended Thursday, although he could've waited until June 1 to sign the tender.
"It was quite natural for me to go out there and try to find an offer sheet that was better than $1.8 million," he said. "Basically, that's what I told them today and that's the message I relayed to them. They totally understood and they said it wouldn't have been right if I didn't do that."
The former Pro Bowl kick returner suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula at Oakland on Oct. 25, and missed the rest of the season. He has been training at the Athletes' Performance Institute in Pensacola, Fla., for the past five weeks.
He'll continue his rehabilitation at the team's facility, but has been running in straight lines and feeling good.
"Next week, we'll do some reassessing and see where I'm at," Washington said. "We'll shoot for a target. Everything looks good and looks right on target for me to be back for the regular season and hopefully for training camp. Right now, I'm trying to take it one day at a time."
When healthy, Washington has been one of the league's more dynamic players, serving a dual role as a kick returner and running back. He was injured on his first carry against the Raiders in the first quarter of the Jets' 38-0 win. It was a gruesome injury, which required a rod to be inserted into the tibia, and many speculated about whether he'd be able to fully recover or even play again.
Instead, Washington healed quickly and was told by doctors that he was way ahead of the normal recovery rate. After being tendered, Washington headed down to Florida to rehabilitate closer to home after making big strides working out at the team's facility.
"The whole time I was down there, I was wearing my Jets gear every day and working out and hoping I would be back here," he said.
Coach Rex Ryan recently said he was disappointed Washington opted to train away from the team; he was the only player not at voluntary workouts. Ryan also said he envisioned the versatile Washington more as a kick returner and third-down back, behind Shonn Greene and recently signed LaDainian Tomlinson, than an every down ball carrier.
"I talked to Rex," Washington said. "He told me his stance is that when I get healthy and I can carry more load and it feels like I'm back to the old Leon, he'll increase my role. That's all that was."

better as subfolder of Unsorted Bookmarks ("system") folder Avaliado em 5 de 5 estrelas
In Fox 3.5.x library, ctrl+shift+b, see Unsorted Bookmarks
Tark might be better served creating two subfolders in Unsorted Bookmarks (each at the same depth with respect to Unsorted Bookmarks)
"Might be of interest"
"I guess I have forgotten about these"
Or something comical.
Retain the "bookmark expiration" nature of tark. Consider adding your tark-icon next to the "bookmark this page" star in the location bar much like Read It Later does. Make that button either click sequentially- or click and hold to change tark state.
Similarly tark will change the color- or shape of this new location bar button itself instead of modifying the favicon (which I disable entirely but that is not the reason for not wanting to use favicon).

Every part of the craft, except the electrons, is still subject to gravity. "Once you've got it up, what would you use to travel horizontally?" Mills asks.
Mills gently waves that solution away. "Too inelegant. Try a flywheel to play off angular momentum," he suggests, "and the craft itself would act as an airfoil."
Yes, that would be a flying saucer.
The universe his flying saucers would explore was not made in six days nor in a big bang, Mills says.
"The Big Bang is not a theory. It's a fact," Dr. Michio Kaku claimed at a recent lecture at the New York Public Library.
Mills argues that the universe is forever oscillating between matter and energy over thousand-billion-year cycles, expanding and contracting between finite set points. In fact, he says, the universe doesn't get much smaller than it is now.
His theory predicted in clear language two recent astronomical discoveriesone, the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate, and, two, there are stars that measure as older than the expansion of the universe itself.
He also says hydrinos explain several mysteries about the sun and are the unidentified "dark matter" that astrophysicists say makes up most of the universe. Mills sees the conversion of matter into energy as the engine of universal expansion. Einstein and others showed that a mass creates a dimple in space-time. As that mass burns itself out, throwing off energy, that dimple formed by gravity is smoothed, causing the universe to expand, Mills explains.
"The sun is turning matter into energy every second; that forces the universe to expand," Mills says. "Even, in the tiniest way, the chemical reactions in your body are pushing the universe out."
Eventually all of this action expends itself until the universe becomes a giant cloud of photons that begin to gather into themselves to create matter again.
"You're existing, maintaining your internal order as a life-form, at the expense of your surroundings. The more you do to keep yourself as you are, in that order, a being as opposed to inanimate matter, the universe is going to decay at a faster rate. Eventually your borrowed time runs out and then it's dust to dust," Mills says. "It's sad, but that unfortunately is how it is.
"It's a beautiful thing that we can exist the way that we do for the time that we do and people should appreciate it," he says.
Does it all start over again in exactly the same way, as some religions teach? Is there a God?
Mills is at first curt. "That can't be experimentally tested, so I won't speculate on it." But then he adds, "There are some questions science will never answer. That's where you have faith."

Strategically he is a significant help along with the senior cricketers within the team get to learn from him. General it is a big increase he has decided to keep. He personifies what Royals are all about," said the CEO.Royals have introduced batsman Unmukt Chand in first of the three IPL trading windows to Mumbai Indians that stops on December 12.
Iyer said it is unlikely that the staff will make an addition for the 24-member team inside the first trading window."We have enough participants to pick from. Probably we will consider some participants nearer to the IPL. So far as Unmukt is worried, Mumbai Indians wished him and we let him go. He wasn't obtaining the proper prospects around and he is too good a player to be sitting on the table. It would have been unfair to keep to him."General our current resources are amazing. We have a great team. We just need a few changes here and there and those changes we will we make ahead of the competition," he said.The Supreme Court is anticipated to announce its award on the IPL spot-fixing case at a hearing on November 10, two conditions after some Rajasthan Royals players including S Sreesanth were caught on prices of spot-fixing through the 2013 edition.
Iyer is hoping for a just verdict. "The committee has done what now and they were directed to do by the Supreme Court must wait see exactly what the verdict is. Following the sad episode, the cricketers have far more number of knowledge on the subject. They're more conscious of the dire consequences however, you cannot say that it will not happen again," he added.

Questions were raised on the structure of the function along with the evening celebrations were prohibited by the new officers in seat. Today, Modi is eliminated and Chirayu Amin has taken his place. After getting the most effective job, iPL 2011 will be his first assignment.
Although IPL is considered to be one of the most business-friendly format of cricket, Twenty20 has been into existence for quite some time now. The primary region to get felt twenty20 was England. In 2003 the England cricket board managed a specialist inter-county tournament. Then in January 2005 Australia's managed a Twenty20 match at the WACA involving the Western Players along with the Victoria Bushrangers. 700 people, almost 20 reportedly visited. New Zealand and Australia played with their historic Twenty20 game in February, 2005 in Auckland. That match made its influence inside the stands where it was praised for meaning and its festivals to faster times where everybody wants quick results. In a T20 tourney almost 20 West Indian local teams battled it out in July 2006. Obviously, critique of such immediate gratification came fast and thick. But its popularity continued to soar.

Pepsi commercials which were broadcast during cricket matches have featured another generation Bollywood personalities like Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone also. These newer people focus on the youth of today.

TEC Summit is just a few days away and we wanted to spotlight one of our fascinating panels: Building and Leveraging the Influence of Online Communities. Companies have recognized that an online community is a valuable resource for customers, partners and more, but in today's fragmented multi-device world, building a strong community is difficult. Social media has affected communities, but has it helped them or hindered them? While communities and forums may be successful today, will the younger generations continue this trend in the future?
Tom Furukawa, Co-founder and CEO of Enstigo, will be moderating and asking these questions and more from our panel of industry experts:
We'll hear how these executives have helped build communities from scratch and adapt to today's technology. This panel will be on Day 1 of TEC Summit at 2:00 p.m. so don't miss it! Register today: http://tecsummit.com/register

Two weeks ago Oliver Roup, our founder and CEO, presented at the AM Days 2015 conference in San Francisco and discussed, "Content Driving Sales in a Cross-Device World."
Affiliate Management Days (AM Days) is a leading conference for affiliate managers and marketers responsible for their company's affiliate marketing strategy, management and operations. Oliver discussed how publishers and merchants can drive revenue across all digital platforms from desktop to mobile to social media.
In early 2014 internet usage on mobile devices surpassed desktop usage for the first time. Oliver shared a comScore report that found more than half of all time spent on a retailer's website is done so from a mobile device. As the industry advances, it's clear that marketers need to think mobile-first. However, reading content and shopping on mobile devices isn't always an easy experience. Oliver shared the following best practices in order to take advantage of the increasing mobile audience:
VigLink works to connect merchants and influencers with consumers for the best ecommerce experience.

Last week I attended and presented at the SoFabU On the Road event in LA on behalf of VigLink discussing all things content monetization with one of our fabulous publishers, Heidi Nazarudin. The event was filled with top influencers from the LA area and with so many fantastic tips being shared, I wanted to post the highlights from the event.
SEO and Social Media
Alea Milham, Founder of lifestyle blog Premeditated Leftovers, shared advice on how bloggers can strategically use SEO and social media to increase traffic and income. Her top tips included:
Content Monetization Strategies
We partnered with Heidi Nazarudin on a panel to discuss how bloggers can best monetize their content. Heidi's number one tip for bloggers is to be able to explain what your blog is about in two minutes. If you can't do that, then you have a content problem. I also shared how VigLink helps bloggers optimize their content for monetization and turn their passion into a business.
Bloggers and Brands
The lunchtime brand panel included reps from Johnny Rockets, TONI&GUY USA, STI – The Drive Experience Company and Muller Quaker where they shared their top preferences on working with brand influencers.
We had a great time at the event meeting fabulous bloggers, answering questions about driving commerce through content, eating delicious Johnny Rockets burgers and listening to Miss California talk about social media and inspiration. We look forward to the next SoFabU event in Miami on Feb. 28th, we hope to see you there! For details and to RSVP visit: http://bit.ly/1ucks2L

We love SFCMGR, and not just because our very own Lucy Bartlett is a co-organizer. It's a wonderful group of people who come together once a month to discuss the ins and outs of online community. This month's event was held at the San Francisco Prezi Office. They provided four wonderful speakers, all who have different backgrounds within Prezi, but work toward the common goal of creating an online community of happy Prezilians.
Jana Hanavan, Prezi's mood coordinator, opened up the series of presentations with some background on the organization, thus setting the stage for Ashley Whitlatch, the 8th U.S. employee who developed and launched Prezi's successful college ambassador program. She informed the audience of 5 tips to build a community of college ambassadors. They are- focus on those who love you, help them set their own goals, provide feedback, listen to their ideas, and provide useful takeaways.
When looking for people who are passionate about your product, find those who already actively support you. Once they've become an ambassador, it's important not to set stringent goals for them, but rather collaborate to decide what you're working towards. After all, an ambassador knows their peers better than anyone else, that's why they've been selected. The college ambassador program wouldn't have been beneficial to anyone if it simply included passing out fliers. Prezi encourages ambassadors to create online groups and A/B test new products, both enriching the experience of its ambassadors as well as the community they're present in.
Zsofi Goreczky was once upon a time what Prezi calls a Champion, someone incredibly active in the Prezi community answering other's questions and sharing best practices. A few months after becoming a Champion, Prezi asked her to officially join their team. She's now the Operations Manager for Support. Zsofi explained the importance of the Championship program and other methods that encourage peer-to-peer support. Although acknowledging these key factors of building a supportive community, she also stressed the strong influence of support reps, promoting good answers, monitoring frequent questions to modify content pieces accordingly, and archiving out-dated issues. The combination of Prezi employees and Prezilians supporting the community has proven to be the most effective way to support their online community.
The last to take the stage was Prezi's Social Media Coordinator,Susannah Shattuck who helps to manage Prezi's global community across LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and beyond! When she first started at Prezi her main focus was to get as many "likes" and "followers" as possible but soon realized that didn't result in engagement. Rather, a smaller, targeted audience creates higher interaction amongst followers. To best amplify your company's voice and convert users into advocates, Susannah suggests meeting your audience where they are, listening to what they have to say, and empowering them to share their stories. If you are able to successfully follow these three tactics you will drive traffic to your website, which is critically important when trying to explain the ROI of social media.
We hope all that attended this month's SFCMGR meeting learned as much as we did! It was wonderful to hear about community from three different departments of the Prezi team. We hope you'll join us next month for another round of networking and insightful talks from industry leaders. Stay tuned!
Check out the great Prezi they made for SFCMGR!

We had a wonderful time volunteering at the Larkin Street Youth Services center yesterday afternoon. When we arrived we were greeted by their incredible Manager of Volunteers & Community Relations, Jessie, who gave us an introduction to the center and told us more about the wonderful work they do to help San Francisco's most vulnerable youth. Not only is Larkin Street Youth Services in it's 30th year of operation but it has evolved from a single drop-in center into 25 youth programs housed across 15 different sites. The center is set to continue to grow as they move into a larger space and have greater ability to serve an even more youth and engage them in various programs.
Our team helped by cooking lunch, organizing the clothing donation closet, and making hygiene kits. It was wonderful to speak with some of the teens and share about ourselves and what we do. We found it truly rewarding to be amongst people who are doing such important good within our community. If you want to learn more about Larkin Street Youth Services and all of amazing things they are doing take a look at their website!

Last week was our annual conference, ForumCon, and what a conference it was! Here are the most important takeaways from each of the day's sessions.
What does "Mobile-Optimized" Mean for Communities?
In the opening session, moderator John Boitnott led panelists Tyler Smith, Zach Hobbs, Craig Dalrymple and Howard Steinberg in a discussion on increasing Internet consumption via mobile devices and the effect that is having on forums. The panel emphasized that forums will need to adapt as users increasingly use mobile devices to consume forum content but less so to create new content. Developing countries in particular have many users who access the Internet solely through their mobile devices.
The Lean Community: Simple Tactics for Building Thriving Communities
David Spinks spoke about his first experience in building an online community that was centered around Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. David argued that forums are far more likely to succeed if they are built as an outlet for an existing community, rather than an attempt to build a new community based on corporate interest. Additionally, David informed the audience, despite conventional wisdom, debates between community members could be key to developing stronger community bonds.
The Top 5 Forum Insights that Changed Our Business
Crista Bailey emphasized the importance of encouraging community members to openly share their content. As the CEO of TextureMedia, Bailey has built the largest online community for women with curly hair. If TextureMedia weren't an environment where women in this historically-marginalized community felt comfortable sharing their stories and pictures, the brand would not be what it is today.
Moderation and Management of Your Community
Dan Gill moderated the talk about managing online community with panelists Greg Childs, Justin Isaf and Patrick Clinger. The panel members had important insights about who ought to be responsible for electing community managers. One great example was, if someone asks to be a community manager, they probably aren't a good choice. Instead, ask an active and influential member of your forum to be a manager. There's a good chance that they are the type of member who plans on being a part of the community for an extended period of time.
Conversation about Online Community
Conversations about Online Community gave attendees the chance break into groups and answer assigned questions. They then chose their best insights to share with the entire ForumCon conference. Attendees made a series of clever suggestions such as, making sure that each community manager receives individual attention and emphasizing the importance of randomized checks on manager decisions. There was also plenty of discussion about whether to remove "downvote" features altogether.
ForumCon Tech Fest
This year's ForumCon featured the first ever Tech Fest competition with a series of entrepreneurs pitching their products to a panel of expert judges. Each of our presenters had a great pitch, but Panjo and their advertising marketplace for forums ultimately prevailed.
Using Proven Science to Create Highly Addictive Communities
Attendees had the opportunity to learn about proven methods that increase their community's retention rate from Richard Millington. One of his most interesting pieces of advice was messaging someone right after they join your community might not necessarily the most effective use of your time, especially if your goal is to get them to contribute to the site. Instead, Millington found that responding within five hours to a new member's first contribution resulted in a 53% increase in the chance that they would contribute again. Additionally, responding within the first hour increased that figure even further.
The Future Discussion of the Web Panel
ForumCon's final panel was moderated by Nellie Bowles and featured Jeff Atwood, Josh Miller, Daniel Ha and Thomas Plunkett. Our most forward-looking panel spoke about the need to encourage civil discussion online and some of the ways previous efforts to do so had fallen short. For example, insisting that users login through Facebook doesn't seem to have any effect on their being civil to one another. What's most important is for people participating in online communities to realize that even without face-to-face interaction there is someone on the receiving end of their comments.
How Purposeful Design Increases Engagement
Courtney Couch explained the power of purposeful design (the holistic approach you take to your site). Couch suggested that every design decision ought to be evaluated on the basis of its benefit for users and not simply because it "could be done" or might look "cool". His talk tied to previous comments made at ForumCon that the most successful forums are very basic with user-friendly designs.
Special thanks our MC John Rampton.

Businesses purchase forums based on trailing revenue and traffic growth. Do you want more revenue and more traffic? Evolve your forum into an ecommerce media giant.
In the last few days, VerticalScope agreed to acquire PBNation.com for $1.38M (a paintball vBulletin forum) and Freelancer.com paid $3.2M for Warrior Forum (a digital marketing vBulletin forum). You can grow the value of your community higher than that. To quote the Sean Parker character in The Social Network, "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool?" A billion dollars.
According to BuiltWith, the number of forums powering the top million sites on the web has declined by 33% since 2011. In the face of the decline of Web-based forums, you can still grow the value of your community. Now is the time for you to evolve your community into an ecommerce media business.
In a recent interview with Fortune Magazine, Ben Lerer, founder of Thrillist.com, explains, "Now we're at the beginning of Commerce 3.0. Every day you surprise and delight people by showing them interesting things, and then you layer on great storytelling on a daily basis…. People come to your store more often because they never know what they're going to find and what they could discover. When they get there, they spend more money buying the basics that they actually need. It's been four years since we acquired JackThreads, and we've gotten really good into making a reader into a shopper and a shopper into a reader. We will do more than $100 million in revenues this year, and I believe we can be a $1 billion business." [source]
This past March, Lerer spoke at the South By Southwest conference in Austin. You can find the slides from his talk, Content & Commerce: The Digital Cronut, on slideshare. There is an excellent recap of the presentation in Publishing Perspectives. In summary, you have thousands of enthusiasts frequenting your site. You have earned their trust. You need to move beyond advertising, subscription, events, and licensing. Says Lerer, "you've got to actually physically sell something to that consumer" to have a chance at that billion-dollar goal.
Through his research, Michael Brito, author of Your Brand: The Next Media Company, found that successful media companies shared five characteristics. He shared the five characteristics in an interview with SocialMediaExaminer:
Perhaps the sentiments of Lerer and Brito are a bit too theoretical or macro for you. You are in the trenches, building and moderating your community and keeping sponsors happy. What is your next step?
If you don't already have a content management system (CMS) attached to your forum, add one.
Create a plan for the creation of compelling, original content. Focus on storytelling.
Identify the ecommerce opportunities within your vertical. Who are the entrepreneurs, small businesses, and major vendors who want to reach your audience? What is the best way for those partners to sell product through your web property. What ecommerce platform will you use to power that commerce?
To help you execute on the three steps above, you can turn to tools and services like RebelMouse, Contently,DivvyHQ, SingleGrain, Panjo, Magento, and others.
Returning to the topic of valuation, let's break down the valuations of the aforementioned forums. Warrior Forum's $3.2M acquisition price means that Freelancer.com paid…
CrowdGather purchased PBNation in 2011 for $2.4M. [source] PBNation's recent $1.38M acquisition price, a decline of over $1M, means that VerticalScope paid…
Usually, forums are bought and sold between two privately held companies and there is little or no public information about the purchase price. These recent transactions involved publicly held companies and as material transactions, required public disclosure.
Forums are not bought and sold based on the metrics above. As stated above, forum acquisitions are based on traffic and revenue. Do you want more traffic and revenue? Evolve your forum into an ecommerce media giant.
