Ipoh (Malaysia): India warded off a spirited second half resurgence by Belgium to script a 6-4 victory and keep itself afloat in the Sultan Azlan Shah hockey tournament here on Monday.
India opened up a flattering 5-1 lead by the half-time, but its opponent fought back brilliantly to score three goals in the second session.
Second win
But the young Indian team managed to hold on to its lead to record its second successive win in the seven-nation tournament.
Shivendra Singh and Sandeep Singh slammed two goals each, while S.V. Sunil and Diwakar Ram chipped in with a goal each in the fast-paced contest which saw India frittering away a few scoring opportunities.
Alexender de Sadeleere, Jerome Trueyns, Thomas Briels and Charles Vandewgheles were the scorers for Belgium which very nearly caught up with India in the second session.
India now has six points from four matches.
Belgian coach Adam Commens said the Indian drag-flickers made the difference in the match.
The results: India 6 (Shivendra Singh 9, 68, Diwakar Ram 22, Sandeep Singh 29, 35, S.V. Sunil 32) bt Belgium 4 (Alexandre de Sadeleer 24, Jerome Trueyns 45, Thomas Briels 59, Charles Vandeweghe 61).
Pakistan 2 (Rehan Butt 64, Muhammad Saqlain 67) bt Canada 1 (Bindi Kullar 1). — Agencies

In re Apple & AT&TM Antitrust Litigation, No. C 07-05152 JW (Feb. 1, 2012) (Ware, J.)
Judge Ware certified for interlocutory appeal the question of whether a non-signatory may assert equitable arbitration estoppel against a signatory plaintiff.
The case involves a Sherman Act Section 2 / aftermarket claim against Apple. The case arose from the plaintiff's service contract with defendant ATTM. As part of that service contract, the plaintiff signed an arbitration agreement with defendant ATTM which precluded class arbitrations and class actions.
The district court initially followed Mundi v. Union Security Life Ins. Co., 555 F.3d 1042 (9th Cir. 2009), in finding that equitable estoppel required plaintiff to arbitrate with non-signatory Apple as well. The Mundi court had found a dearth of prior Ninth Circuit precedent, and had looked to other circuits for guidance — in particular, the Second Circuit in Sokol Holdings, Inc. v. BMB Munai, Inc., 542 F.3d 354 (2d Cir. 2008). The Ninth Circuit allowed the assertion of equitable estoppel where the dispute is "intertwined" with the contract and there is a sufficient "relationship" between the parties.

Best: 2000. Adrian Gonzalez
First baseman | Florida Marlins | Eastlake High School (Chula Vista, California)
Career MLB stats (through 2013): 1,333 games played, .294 batting average, 235 home runs, 850 RBIs
Gonzalez's career trajectory was the exact opposite of Anderson's. A wrist injury he suffered in the minors scared off the Marlins, who traded him to the Texas Rangers in 2003. After showing little in parts of two seasons in Arlington, the Rangers shipped him home to San Diego, where he broke out in 2006, hitting .304 with 24 home runs and 82 RBI while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense. He was an All-Star in each of the next four seasons for the Padres and Boston Red Sox before being shipped to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012. For his career, Gonzalez sports a .293 average with 247 home runs and 888 RBIs.

Most employment agreements in California are for at-will employment. This means that the employer can terminate the employee at any time, with or without cause, so long as termination is not for a reason otherwise unlawful (e.g. discrimination based on race or other protected classes).
Employees who are not at-will are often referred to as for-cause employees. This is because such employees typically have an employment agreement which is guaranteed for a stated period of time, and during that time, may only be terminated for good cause. What constitutes good cause is usually stated in the employment agreement and may include, among other things, fraud, failure to show up for work without sufficient explanation, failure to meet stated performance goals, etc.
Most employers rely on at-will employment to maintain maximum flexibility in dealing with their workforce and managing the risk of running a business.

SEATTLE - Safeco Corp.'s profit plunged 20 percent in the second quarter as the insurer collected fewer premium dollars and spent more of the premiums it did collect paying claims, the company said Tuesday.
The Seattle-based property and casualty insurer earned $149.5 million, or $1.65 per share, compared with profit of $186.4 million, or $1.75 per share, in the second quarter last year.
The results included impairment charges of $40.4 million "primarily related to write-downs on securities impacted by continuing volatility in the equity markets."
Operating profit, which excludes certain costs that insurers do not consider reflective of their businesses, totaled $1.60 per share.
That beat the average estimate of analysts polled by Thompson Financial, who forecast a profit of $1.39 per share.
Of each premium dollar collected, Safeco spent 94 cents administering claims, 4.3 cents on the dollar more than the second quarter last year.
The company said the reason this ratio ticked up was twofold: Safeco premiums shrank 2.5 percent to $1.43 billion for the quarter. And, the insurer paid $66.9 million in claims to cover insured damage caused by catastrophes, compared with just $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2007.
Safeco said weather-related losses in the year-ago quarter were unusually low. In recent months, the United States has been plagued by tornadoes, flooding and wildfires.
Shares of the company added 35 cents to $66.07 in morning trading.

US Muslim study finds jump in American mosques
Estimates of the total American Muslim population have become a contentious issue as Muslims seek to have a voice in public life. The U.S. Census does not ask about religion. Pew conducted a survey last year that estimated the American Muslim community encompassed 2.75 million people, or nearly 1 percent of the U.S. population, a finding similar to that of other recent surveys. Bagby's 2000 report had estimated the U.S. Muslim population to be as high as 7 million, a number widely criticized as inflated. In this latest report, Bagby did not report a definitive population number, but stood by his earlier assertion that the United States could be home to as many 7 million Muslims.
Each congregation reported an average of around 15 converts to Islam annually, a figure that has held steady. Latinos jumped from 7 percent of all reported converts in 2000 to 12 percent in 2011, while the percentage of white converts dropped slightly. In findings similar to those in surveys conducted by Pew Research Center and Gallup, nearly all respondents said they supported Muslim involvement in American society and politics.
The 2011 mosque study is part of the Faith Communities Today partnership, which researches the more than 300,000 houses of worship in the United States. Among the report's sponsors are the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Hartford Institute for Religion Research, the Islamic Society of North America and Islamic Circle of North America.

The "unknown" public servants involved in the alleged misrepresentations and false claims made by four of the five private companies booked by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the coal block allocations are suspected to have either shown lack of due diligence or connived with the accused companies for pecuniary gains.
The CBI, which has already examined several government officials who played a role in screening the applications for coal block allocations between 2006 and 2009, has alleged that some unknown public servants overlooked or did not cross-check details furnished by the accused companies.
In the case registered against JAS Infrastructure Capital Private Ltd. (Kolkata), its directors have been accused of conspiring with public servants to conceal the fact that it had earlier been allocated coal block. The company also allegedly made false representations about its group companies to show an inflated "net worth" to meet the eligibility criteria. The CBI found that a similar modus operandi was employed allegedly by AMR Iron & Steel Private Ltd. (Nagpur), Navbharat Power Private Ltd. (Hyderabad) and Vini Iron & Steel Udyog Ltd. (Kolkata) and their directors.
In the case of JLD Yavatmal Energy Ltd. (Nagpur) and its directors, the agency found that they allegedly provided false representations about the group companies and earlier allocations. "False replies were given by AMR, JAS Infrastructure and JLD Yavatmal to queries in the applications (Nos. 29 and 30) seeking information on previous allocations and if any, their present status. They also misrepresented their net worth," alleged a CBI official.
Investigations also revealed that one of the promoters of Navbharat Power Private Ltd. (Hyderabad), after getting the Rampia and Dip Side of Rampia coal blocks in Odisha, allegedly sold off 5,000 personal shares for a whopping Rs. 50 crore to another private company. A majority company share was also purportedly transferred to the same firm, whereby the promoters lost control over the company.
It is alleged that the ownership pattern of Vini Iron & Steel Udyog Ltd. (Kolkata) changed after it filed the application. The company was later allocated the Rajhara North coal block in Jharkhand.
Following registration of the five cases, the CBI has conducted searches at 30 places including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Nagpur, Kolkata, Bhilai, Yavatmal, Raipur, Ranchi and Dhanbad.
Asserting that the cases had no connection whatsoever with the Comptroller and Auditor General report on the coal block allocations, the CBI official said the action was a follow-up of a continuing preliminary enquiry registered to "examine the irregularities, if any, in the allocation of coal blocks during 2006-09 on a reference from the Central Vigilance Commission in June".

The counsel for the State secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)], Pinarayi Vijayan, on Wednesday told the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) Special Court here that his client, as Minister for Electricity, had committed no illegality by choosing to ignore the recommendations of two government appointed committees in 1996-97 to suggest measures to tide over the power crisis that gripped the State that year.
The E. Balananandan committee report submitted to the government in 1997 was not a detailed one and did not offer comprehensive and viable suggestions, including long-term sustainable solutions, to pre-empt such situations in the State. The committee, pointedly, did not conduct any spot study at Panniyar, Senkulam and Paripally projects.
The Subaida committee report on the same subject was "unclear" on the course of action the State should take to effectively address the power crisis. Mr. Vijayan's counsel said the government's executive prerogative to accept or reject a report submitted by a committee appointed and funded by it could not be challenged.
Mr. Vijayan had visited Canada in 1996 to discuss the financial aspects of the State's deal with SNC-Lavalin to renovate and modernise the three hydro electric projects. His ministerial delegation did not dwell on technical matters in its discussions with the representatives of SNC-Lavalin. The agenda of the meeting was declared early and hence there was no requirement on the part of the government to include members with technical expertise in the delegation.
Special Judge R. Reghu asked the counsel to clarify why a global tender was avoided in the contract in question. He also asked why the promised assistance to the government to set up a cancer centre in Kannur found no reference in the various communications between the State and SNC-Lavalin in 1997.
The counsel said the CBI inquiry covered the deals the State government struck with SNC-Lavalin during the 1996-2002 periods. Mr. Vijayan relinquished charge as power minister in October 1998.
After him, four persons held the power portfolio. The CBI's investigation seemed confined solely to the period Mr. Vijayan had held charge and this was unfair.

A's essentially buy Adam Rosales for $1.3 million
Feb 2, 2010, 3:50 PM EDT
Yesterday the A's traded Aaron Miles and a player to be named later or cash to the Reds for Adam Rosales and Willy Taveras, only to designate Taveras for assignment approximately three minutes later.
While confusing at first glance, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle notes that the end result for the A's is paying $1.3 million for Rosales (and that number can drop to $900,000 if Taveras lands on another big-league roster). So, the obvious question becomes whether or not acquiring Rosales is worth that money.
He hit just .213 in his first taste of the majors last season and at 27 years old isn't bringing much upside to the table, but Rosales has hit .299/.353/.490 in 147 games at Triple-A and has experience at all four infield positions. He projects as merely a utility man and probably wouldn't get $1.3 million as a free agent, but the key for Oakland is that he's not a free agent.
In fact, Rosales hasn't even accumulated one season of major-league service time yet, so he'll be making the minimum salary for three more years. If you spread that $1.3 million out over those three seasons and tack on the $400,000 minimum salary, that means the A's essentially traded for the right to pay Rosales about $800,000 per year for 2010-2012 and then retain his rights for arbitration eligibility after that.
- Jamie - Feb 2, 2010 at 4:20 PM
First the Cubs pay the A's $1 mil+ to take Aaron Miles off their hands, then the A's pay the Reds $1 mil+ to do the same. It's only a matter of time until Dayton Moore offers legitimate prospects for him.
- APBA Guy - Feb 2, 2010 at 4:41 PM
Rosales fills the Adam Kennedy spot from last year, but with better fielding and cheaper, with the expectation realized that Taveras lands somewhere. He'll get more playing time than we might think right now, as the A's always manage to have some serious infield injuries.
Still, only Sheets is a possibly impact signing. And if he goes down, that sound you hear is the breeze whistling through the empty stands at gametime.
- Amol - Feb 3, 2010 at 4:47 PM
It's got to be a weird feeling for Rosales to know that the A's are willing to pay that money for him, but he won't see any of it. Hopefully the ego boost
- Amol - Feb 3, 2010 at 4:48 PM
It's got to be a weird feeling for Rosales to know that the A's are willing to pay that money for him, but he won't see any of it. Hopefully the ego boost makes him feel better about the fact that Taveras will be making ten times as much money to do nothing.

This is actually more their opinion than mine. I also asked them what they make good, and they make 7.5. I can easily make 7.5.
How fast was your C400? DId you keep her at or around hull speed? Over? Under?
Fusion Kit Catamarans
Boomerang is the one that we met in the bahamas. Check out that galley. very nice layout. Check out the double drawer stainless fridges and freezers. Much better than a C400.
I do agree that Lagoons, especially the 380, has small galleys. They have somewhat adressed that on the Lagoon 400.
Check out the Lagoon 400.
LAGOON Catamaran - construction, vente et location - constructeur catamaran de luxe, bateau de plaisance et de croisère
The storage for clothes etc in the L400 owner's hull by far surpasses that of the aft statesroom in the C400.
And another benefit, your kids gets an entire port hull to themselves!
My C400 was relatively fast, in 15 kts she would easily do hull speed on a reach. I seem to remember to have seen above 9 kts on a broad reach in 25-30 kts of wind (need to get home on a sunday syndrome). Wild ride and it punctured my brand new dinghy as it was moving around in the davits.
She is an excellent power boat as well, would easily do 7.5 kts cruising at 2200 rpm, so the hull must be easily driven.
It's not that I need to go much faster than a C400's hull speed, it is that I would like a boat that sails very well in light winds because that's when I motored a lot (need to get to where I'm going syndrome...).
Given more time, I would have done what Jon suggested earlier, get a code 0 on a roller.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 128,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fun ride, cheap parts, easy to fix, safe, comfort"
Cons: "Location of distributor cap/rotor on 4.3 model"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"For a very long time, I wanted one of these. A neighbor of mine had '94 caprice and for years I would stare at his caprice with envy whenever he passed by. I work for an auto parts company and one day when I was delivering parts to a dealer who buys from us, I saw that very car in the lot as the man had just recently traded it in. The next day, I was driving that car after trading in my '98 dodge dakota. It was the middle of winter and my old man was ticked off because I traded a 4x4 for a rwd that was 4 years older. Long story, make it short, I showed him and everyone around me that I'm not crazy and that this car acts like a tank in the snow. Ok I'll stop putting you to sleep with the back story and actually review this boat. My particular specimen is the sedan model with the 4.3 V8 and I have had it for about a year and a half. When I first got her, she had about 107K miles and needed some work. The distributor cap and rotor needed to be replaced and honestly I don't care for the location of said parts but hopefully I wont have to fix those again as long as I own it. Things like the fuel filter, brakes, and tie rod ends I consider to be average basic maintenance so I can't really gripe about that. After all that was done, I have gone several months without having to do anything but fill the gas tank and change the oil. What I particularly enjoy about it is how simple it is to work on. Open the hood and the contents are very straight forward with all the parts in easy reach not to mention replacement parts are quite inexpensive. The serpentine belt replacement required a 15mm wrench and 5 minutes of my time. the thermostat is right on top of the water pump and took less than 10 minutes to replace. When it comes to driving the beast, I feel like I'm king of the road as its size commands respect on the highway and around town. After replacing the center steering link, idler arm and a tie rod end, it handles very smooth for being as big as it is. I often feel like I'm driving a living room on wheels as the cushy suspension eliminates the shock of any bumps or dips on the road. This land yacht is extremely fun to drive and I don't have to worry about flipping over while cornering. The interior is quite nice with only a few minor gripes. The so called "cup holder" in the pull-out console where the ash tray is located is nothing to brag about and could hardly hold onto a paper dixie cup. Alas a very minor inconvenience that was easily fixed with an aftermarket console. With a split bench seat in the front, I was able to rush myself and 5 of my friends with all our luggage in the trunk to the bus depot and not only arrive on time but in comfort and style. I plan on taking it on my next vacation to Baltimore, MD and I feel as if I can with the confidence that it will get me there and back without issues. As it is now, I have about 128K on the car and I anticipate to get another 100K or maybe even more. When it all comes down to the knitty gritty, GM did something right when they made this car as the Cities of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and many others who used them as police fleet will tell you. Over all, I would very highly recommend this car. It's practical, cheap, reliable, VERY safe and with the proper care and maintenance, a very long lasting ride."

Pros: "For less than $150 a month in repairs, the Best!"
Cons: "Often get offers from strangers to buy them."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"I currently own a 1993 and a 1995, I have owned them for 19 and 15 years respectively. They both have nearly the same mileage about 194,000 mikes. I hope to continue driving them another 5-10 years. The 93 was. Stripped down model with a cloth interior & a front bench seat. The only thing that would have made this car more perfect would have been hand-crank windows. The 93 has a 302 cu inch engine. In the 19 years of driving this used car I bought in 1995, for $11k, I have only put about $10k into repairs & maintenance (average $500/year). That s why I think the low-end Caprice is the best of all of them. My 1995 Caprice also cost me $11k to buy, but if easily costs about $1,200/year to maintain. The 350 cu inch engine provides nice torque and a more sporty driving experience. Problem areas have been Power a Steering Pumps and engine cooling. All said; they have been two great cars. I never planned on owning a car for more than 5 years, but I don't want to give either one up."

"I have owned it for several years now and love it. I am retired now and only drive 3 to 4 thousand miles a year and it always gets me where I want to go and back - what else can you ask of a car at my age? As with any old car there are mechanical issues but even with those it is still a lot cheaper than payments, higher insurance and taxes, etc so it is a lot cheaper in the long run. It is a large car with big doors but I had both knees replaced so it suits me fine (it turns and parks better than my wife's '99 Lincoln Town Car. All it needs now is a paint job to be really spiffy."

Cons: "Fair to poor gas mileage, its old."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I bought this beast around 8-9 years ago with 120k+ on the odometer for around 3 grand. Fellow I bought it from said it had a rebuilt engine put in not too long before. It was in good to fair condition when I bought it. Honestly, I never took good care of either the interior or exterior. But, although the interior is now in poor condition, the exterior has held up remarkably well...paint (when I bother to wash it) is still unfaded and shiny. Tiny areas of rust. I have gotten it what it needs, mechanically e.g. regular oil changes every 3k miles, new parts when the old ones wore out...radiator, water pump, alternator, starter, distributer cap...all very pricey, by the way. But it has never seriously overheated, has started almost always and today, runs as smoothly, powerfully and quietly as the day I bought it. Never touched the brakes but they stop on a dime. I've always felt safe in this wagon, and not just because it is bigger than any other "car" on the road, but it handles like a much more nimble vehicle. Going 55 on US 1 (4 lanes with a turn lane in the middle) I started passing a female driver in a sedan who started pulling into the passing lane at about the point my hood ornament was parallel to her trunk. She never looked...just shot over. I braked hard, swerved into the turn lane and thought I was going to flip the wagon. But this elephant kept all 4 wheels on the black top and was never out of control and, after a bit of skidding, the front end came back like a sports car. Of course, the lady never looked back. But I was impressed. Anyway, I've towed boats, crammed it to the roof with stuff, gone on long trips and excursions out into the boonies where this vehicle did not belong...and it never let me down. Comfortable, mileage not too bad for a V8, easy to handle, powerful and reliable. And space enough inside to hold a fancy dress ball. They don't make em like this anymore...and they should. My youngest son still drives it full time, even after the a/c quit. A wonderful big wagon."

Congress workers protested against inflation in the country today by tying Rakhis made of onions and tomatoes to fellow party workers.
Yesterday, the Congress had sought action from the BJP-led NDA government in fulfilling its poll promises, reminding the government about its responsibilities, and asked it to stop Congress bashing. Talking about the rapid pace of change since the NDA government took over, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the BJP National Council meet had said that he was surprised that those who did nothing for the past 60 years are asking for his government's report after being in power for just 60 days.
But he reiterated that after the experience of 60 days, he was confident that his government was headed in the right direction.

I created these textures for the Denim Mini by Billy-T over at the RMP. They were rejected for sale, so I figured I'd give them away for free! No point in doing all that work for nothing, lol. While the textures were created for She Who Shall Not Be Named (in the Daz forums) I've been told the textures are universal to ALL of Billy-T's versions of the Denim Mini, including V3 and V4.

Straight from the Heart
Yale's cardiology chief has got a new book of poems
Today on Tablet, Alexander Aciman takes a look at the poetry of Barry Zaret, a poet who was late to the party, but is making quite a stir. Zaret is also one of the most respect cardiologists in the country.
In short, nothing about Zaret would lead me to believe that he was leading a less-than-secret second life as a poet. Perhaps this is because his recent collection of poems, Journeys, was written, in large part, during the small hours of the morning—at 3:30 a.m., after his coffee, before his morning run, and certainly before heading off to the university to see patients and to teach. Despite being one of the most respected cardiologists in America, Zaret writes more than many full-time writers do. He often goes through 10 or even 15 drafts of a poem before it is finally perfect and cannot stand to do anything less because his poems are, as he himself says "a fabric of [his] whole life." He writes about his father's kosher butcher shop. He writes about going to Rockaway beach and saying Kaddish for a friend who died. In one of his poems he even imagines inviting Leonard Cohen to his Sukkah, and warns him that autumn in New England is cold, and that he should "Bring a sweater."

A current tax dispute on Nokia's India plant may result in its exclusion from the deal that concludes on Friday for sale of its global business to Microsoft.
A spokeswoman for Nokia's Indian unit said in a statement on Thursday that Nokia will operate the factory as a contract manufacturing unit for Microsoft after the deal is executed.
"It's highly unlikely that the plant will transfer, given that the (deal) closing with Microsoft is tomorrow," the spokeswoman said. "If the asset doesn't get transferred, we are entering into a service agreement with Microsoft."
According to the conditions set by the Indian court, Nokia must agree on payment of a guarantee for potential tax dues in a dispute with Indian authorities, before it can transfer the plant to Microsoft. Nokia's India plant, which employs about 6,600 employees, is one of its biggest factories globally.
Nokia lawyers have previously told the Delhi High Court that the company would run the plant as a contract manufacturer in case it is not transferred to Microsoft, but only for 12 months after closing their 5.4 billion euros ($7.5 billion) global deal.
Nokia has offered a voluntary retirement scheme to its factory employees earlier this month.

'Tax Freedom Day' here for Mississippians
Saturday was "Tax Freedom Day" in Mississippi — the day when the taxpayers in our state have collectively earned enough money to pay their federal, state and local tax bill for the year. We're glad to see that our states is one of the first to reach that mark, but it does come early because of some problems we'd probably rather overcome such as low incomes and low property value in many areas.

Editor Don Whitten wonders about communication issues with those three states furnishing some of the most unusual – and different – accents. (November 7, 2012, Page 4)
9/11 is not a happy day for anyone
The wounds are too fresh and too painful, staff writer Alyssa Schnugg writes, to make it seem correct for someone to say "Happy Patriot Day" on 9/11. Schnugg explores the approach some have to 9/11, Memorial Day and other "holidays." (September 13, 2012, Page 4)
Avoiding sun can be about as harmful as sunbathing
Sun or no sun – that's the question EAGLE staff writer Alyssa Schnugg has had to answer all her life with her fair complexion. The conundrum has continued with the sun harming her skin but also helping provide valuable vitamins, and she writes about dealing with something that's there almost every day.

Separation of church, state can get confusing
The Mississippi State Senate approves a chaplain. Judges out west rule that a cross at a park is unconstitutional. Where's the separation of church and state and where is the middle ground. Staff Writer Alyssa Schnugg takes on the wide variety of responses to the issue and suggests that more clear-cut laws would help eliminate these "What?" moments of conflict.

Where's that critical moment of experience that makes feedback and word of mouth coalesce?
What's the right time or context to unleash word of mouth or, better yet, consumer-generated media (CGM)? More important, what tactics will increase the odds that CGM works for you, not against you?
Let's start by parachuting into my beloved hometown of Pasadena, CA, which I recently visited on vacation with my wife and twins. We were taking the bambinos on a beautiful stroll through the neighborhood and decided to chill for a bit at the local Peet's Coffee & Tea.
This particular Peet's had an unmistakable energy, fortified by a diverse mix of local residents and brainy Caltech students and accented with the sumptuous smell of both Peet's dark roast and Noah's bagels in the store next door.
Toward the end of a thoroughly enjoyable experience, my wife and I noticed a prominent bulletin board packed with color photographs. The photos were all taken by Peet's patrons, an exercise made simple with the presence of a good ol' fashioned Polaroid instant camera (attached to a wire, of course).
Turns out, this was part of Peet's 40th anniversary. The fast-growing coffee chain had a slew of events planned to dial-up patron participation. Yes, I said "participation."
It clearly worked in our case. Without skipping a beat, we proudly took a photo of our two little bambinos, wrote a small "we love Peet's" note on it, and posted it at the very top of the bulletin board. (Actually, we took an extra photo as a souvenir, but please don't tell anyone!)
We also filled out a "Tell Us About Yourself" card and posted that next to the photo. Not surprisingly, we told just about everyone about our contribution, encouraging others to drop by Peet's to check out our adorable photo. On top of that, I'm now mentioning it in my column.
Finding the Marketing Ex-Spot
Peet's created a wonderful example of how marketers can actually influence CGM, and this particular execution stands in stark contrast to other, less successful "create CGM" efforts by top brands.
On one level, Peet's program builds on a very simple emotion (brand love). It took full advantage of what I'll now officially call the ex-spot. The ex-spot is that critical moment of experience that makes feedback and word of mouth slide off your tongue like kids on a waterslide. It is always well-timed; piggybacks on the great things we love about products, services, and brands; and is never -- I repeat, never -- forced.
A big reason so many marketers fail in word-of-mouth marketing programs is they embark on programs well outside the ex-spot. They push messages that are out of context with the actual customer or brand experience. Peet's dramatically simplified the equation: it empowered the consumer right in the store. Under such circumstances, patrons don't have to be seduced, overly enticed, or propped up with shills.
Turns out, this particular program has been a smashing success. Participation has been off the charts. Christine Lansing, Peet's CMO and a former marketing executive at both Hershey's and Procter & Gamble, explained, "These albums have been a huge hit. Within a couple of days, they've been filled with pictures, notes, drawings, etc. People want to be part of it... and they certainly have something to say!"
Comparison With General Motors' CGM
Let's contrast Peet's campaign with General Motors' recent effort to encourage consumers to create their own Chevy Tahoe ad as part of an "Apprentice" co-promotion. The promotion got tons of participation and plenty of blog and media attention. I personally gave it big points on my blog for being bold, brave, and experimental.
But in so many ways, the brand completely missed the ex-spot. Most ads were created completely out of context, and eligibility for participation veered far from consumers who actually use or experience the products. It's almost as if nonregistered voters were given equal access as registered ones for the ad campaign.
Relevant experience matters, and it is a core driver of the trust equation in word-of-mouth advertising, as so many WOMMA conferences and case studies make clear. A big reason my blog dedicated to hybrid cars is so credible and viral is that I'm a bona fide hybrid car driver. I speak with a combination of "passion" and "authority" (I'm borrowing those words from Robert Scoble), and that drives credibility.
The key to CGM is figuring out how to surf existing brand satisfaction and evangelism. What if GM made a more concerted effort to capitalize on the ex-spot? What if:
Perhaps GM pursued a combination of these tactics, but campaign awareness disproportionately centered around "anyone can express themselves" venues.
Where Else Can I Find the Ex-Spot?
The location of the ex-spot varies by brand and category, but here are a few hints:
Bear in mind, this is less about exclusivity than plain and simple targeting. Every brand has passionate, highly loyal users. They'll jump through hoops for you. The future of marketing in an age of consumer control is how to reach such consumers at those critical inflection points when they're in the brand groove.
Peet's put some real caffeine on that notion and nurtured high-quality CGM right smack in the ex-spot! GM had the right idea, but the end result was akin to Andrew Jackson's inaugural party, when he opened up the White House to everyone.

Christmas lists are everywhere ... and I'm not just talking about presents. Folks love to chat about their favorite (or least favorite) Christmas tunes. Along those same lines, I'd like to present yet another grouping of holiday ditties. This time around, we look at the lighter side of Christmas music - those songs of the season that make you laugh, think, shake your tailfeather, or are - shall we say - just a wee bit off.

If you have all the necessary barbecue tools and a snazzy apron, the last step in building your summertime barbecue arsenal is getting the right ingredients. A dish is only as delicious as the ingredients used. If you start with top notch goods, your food will be too.
Hot sauce adds a kick of flavor and heat to your barbecue dishes. You can use it in a marinade or add it to a sauce. I like pumpkin hot sauce because the sweetness of the squash balances the heat from the chile peppers.
I will always recommend to make your own sauce whenever possible but sometimes there are time constraints and it's just not in the cards. Keep a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce on hand when you're in need for a quick meal.
If nothing else, invest in a good dry rub. Whether you buy all the spices individually to make a homemade blend or buy your favorite brand, a dry rub is going to give your food the most flavor. I like to keep a variety of dry rubs on hand to use on different meats.

Good Intentions Ease Pain, Add To Pleasure
A nurse's tender loving care really does ease the pain of a medical procedure, and grandma's cookies really do taste better, if we perceive them to be made with love – suggests newly published research by a University of Maryland psychologist. The findings have many real-world applications, including in medicine, relationships, parenting and business.
"The way we read another person's intentions changes our physical experience of the world," says UMD Assistant Professor Kurt Gray, author of "The Power of Good Intentions," newly published online ahead of print in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. Gray directs the Maryland Mind Perception and Morality Lab.
"The results confirm that good intentions – even misguided ones – can sooth pain, increase pleasure and make things taste better," the study concludes. It describes the ability of benevolence to improve physical experience as a "vindication for the power of good."
While it seems clear that good and evil intentions can change the experience of social events – think of a reaction to a mean-spirited, cutting remark compared to gentle teasing spoken with a smile – this study shows that physical events are influenced by the perceived contents of another person's mind."It seems we also use the intentions of others as a guide for basic physical experience," Gray writes in the journal.
The power of good intentions to shape physical experience was demonstrated in three separate experiments: the first examined pain, the second examined pleasure, and the third examined the taste of a sweet treat.
PAIN: EXPERIMENT 1. Does kindness reduce pain? Three groups of participants received identical electric shocks at the hand of a partner. Members of the first group were in the "accidental" condition: They thought they were being shocked without their partner's awareness. The second, or "malicious
