Reboot your business... your future depends on it
There are five new movements that have changed business forever and yet, the vast majority of brands are doing nothing about it. The next five years of business will be about the convergence of these five major movements that will require companies to adapt like never before. Adapt or die? Some will struggle with this shift while others will simply roll along as the adoption incurs. The trick is in capitalizing on this moment in time, understanding these movements and being ready for your future (a future that will move at a much quicker pace). We have the technology. We have the data. We have the new media channels and platforms. We have the opportunity to publish whatever we want - in text, images, audio and video - instantly (and for free) to the world. What we do with this moment will be telling. It will also set the pace for everything that flows out of our brands for the next decade. The opportunity is now. Take charge of your future. This is your reboot.
The One Screen World
How business success is driven in a world of Web, mobile and touch
More people in the world have a mobile subscription than people with access to safe drinking water a bank account or television. That is staggering. Four years ago the iPad didn't exist. Today, tablets outsell all personal computer manufacturers. In a world of over 350 million PCs, we currently have close to two billion mobile handsets in market. The iPhone 5 sold 2 million units in its first 24 hours. Make no mistake about it, mobile is not just about sending SMS offers to consumers. In the new world, everything from iPads and smartphones are changing the way we work, interact, communicate and connect. As each day passes we are untethering from desktops and physical locations more and more. In this eye-opening presentation, Mitch Joel unravels the truth behind the drive towards the mobile economy and what this means to your business, how you connect and yes, even your advertising. If you thought the Internet, social media and e-commerce changed everything, just wait and see what this great untethering is going to unfold.
Sex With Data
The shift from analytics, data and consumer intimacy to true loyalty.
When businesses and professionals hear words like "data," "analytics," and "loyalty programs" their eyes tend to glaze over. Then again, there is nothing sexier about a hyper-loyal customer and how their spread the good will of a brand. This session is not about loyalty programs or consumer data, it's about understanding that we now live in a day and age where everything is measurable, actionable and able to be optimized in near real time. With cheap, simple (and sometimes free!) monitoring and measurement services, brands are able to dig a lot deeper to better understand the level of credibility, sentiment and importance of the customers who are sharing critical feedback and information. The reboot comes from rethinking data, loyalty programs, customer data and sentiment monitoring as it evolves and becomes more human. These new relationships not only drive profit, but also create true economic value to the brand. This level of customer intimacy coupled with this new, Social CRM revolution is going to pivot business and marketing from an analytics-driven world to one where we're able to build intimacy through a combination of valuable offers, relevant content and marketing initiatives that are more in-line with the customer's lifelong brand journey.
Six Pixels of Separation
How business connects in a connected world
Companies still struggle to understand digital marketing as a new generation of opportunities unfolds. Consumers have never been so powerful. Consumers have never been so connected. Mitch Joel unravels the fascinating world of digital marketing, mobile and social media. Learn how these marketing touch points are creating points of engagement where the results are staggering and customer loyalty is off the charts. Companies Apple Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter control every boardroom discussion in relation to growing market share and new marketing opportunities. Learn how to take part in these brave new media communities and conversations.
Squiggle Your Career
How to stay employable in the next five years.
In his latest book, CTRL ALT Delete, Mitch Joel provokes with a very powerful question: do you want to be employable in the next five years? While some may scoff at this thought, Mitch has uncovered seven triggers that all of us need to possess to best navigate this time of innovation and uncertainty in business. There is no gold watch in your future. Instead, Mitch will introduce you to the concept of squiggle and how the most interesting and fascinating work is coming from people who did not have a very linear career path at all... it was (and still is) squiggly. In Squiggle Your Career, attendees will better understand how they can shift from just doing a job to doing the work that they were meant to do.
The Constant Shopper
How business connects to an always-connected consumer
Retail, consumerism and how we buy has changed in the past few years, like never before. How we buy has so fundamentally changed, that it's not uncommon to hear the question: "do shopping centers have a future?" It's important to understand the new retail landscape. When e-commerce first kicked in, it was clunky (some would argue that it's still a little clunky). Dynamic merchandising is a challenge online. Consumers are mostly looking at products in a thumbnail-like photo and the process lacks a brand experience where serendipity meets exploration. Online, we tend to shop for the things we've indentified, while retail outlets can suck consumers in by surrounding the products we went to the store for with other opportunities. Yes, the e-commerce world has countless stories of brands who have both optimized and perfected the experience (think Amazon, Zappos, Fab, etc...) while retail has continued to evolve their physical experiences in an attempt to make them more engaging to the consumer (think Apple LEGO, Lululemon, etc...). Here's the thing: we don't just shop online at home (or at the office) anymore. We can shop online while we're still in the physical retail space. It's no surprise that mobile changes everything. These smartphones are powerful, connected, social and transactional. As retailers once dealt with the free shipping model that was initiated by e-commerce plays to encourage consumers to buy online instead of at stores, we're now entering a similar phase where retailers are matching the online channels prices in an attempt to curb the activity of showrooming. In this session, brands will better understand the constant, persistent and mobile barrage of consumers being able to buy when, how and where they want and how to build loyalty in a world where the best price is just a finger swipe away.
We, Robots
Future technology trends and jaw-dropping new business scenarios.
Many people are worried that robots are going to steal our jobs. The truth is this: we are the future of robots at work. This is not about subdermal implants or bionic limbs, but it is about the integration of human beings and robots and technology to make us work smarter, faster and more efficiently. In this session, you will begin to understand the next industrial revolution that is centered around wearable technology, the maker movement, robotics, 3D printing, drones, telepresence and more. We are moving from a world of bytes back to atoms and the innovations being developed are going to shape the future of business and the new Internet of things.
Media Hacker
How publishing survives in a world where everyone is a publisher
Take a look around, newspapers, TV stations, radio and even magazines are seeing either stagnant numbers or their revenues disappearing. Currently, Google's advertising revenue is bigger than all of print media combined in the U.S. Beyond filing for Chapter 11 or switching to "digital-first" platforms, there is a bigger change that is taking place. Advertisers are interested in connecting with consumers where they are... and they are online - Web, mobile and touch. In Media Hacker, Mitch Joel explains the dramatic changes that have taken place in the media landscape. You will learn why platforms like blogging, podcasting, online social networks and apps have changed the way people connect with information, and what it's like to live in a world where everyone can (and is) a publisher of content. Get smarter at understanding media and the changes taking place. Let this session be your new media booster-pack.

CMA - Canadian Marketing Association - 2007 National Convention Keynote Address audience feedback from evaluation forms
"Shop.org works with literally hundreds of speakers every year, and Mitch Joel ranks at the top. He brings timely information to our community and presents it in such a dynamic way that he keeps our audience at the edges of their seats. Plus, from our side, he is a pleasure to work with. Always bringing a can-do and positive attitude to any challenge. If there were more Mitch Joel's in the world, it would be a better place."
"Starbucks Canada's marketing team often invites inspirational leaders and subject-matter experts to come in and share their thoughts, insights, and ideas on how we can continue to connect with our consumers in a meaningful way, and Mitch Joel is one of the best speakers we've seen. Mitch brings a terrific perspective on new marketing and branding channels that could help any organization engage their consumers, and our marketing team was extremely impressed by his extensive knowledge, entertaining delivery, and obvious passion for what he does. We would highly recommend Mitch as a speaker for any sized event, especially if you're interested in learning not only what works in marketing today, but also what's going to work tomorrow."
Starbucks Canada
"Mitch Joel is one of CMA's highest rated speakers. A dynamic and inspiring speaker, Mitch consistently delivers high-energy presentations with cutting-edge information that his audience can use!"
Canadian Marketing Association
"Mitch Joel's passion and energy leaps off the stage with every word. He delivers insight and experience in a fun, interactive way that really engages the audience and gets people thinking. Mitch received rave reviews from our audience and many requested we have him back to speak again at a future event."
Association of Internet Marketing & Sales
"Mitch Joel has the ability to energize a room from the get-go. Substance and style mix in his approach and it all comes from the heart. Not many public speakers can match Mitch Joel's passion and knowledge. If you have the chance to see him and hear him, don't miss it."
"Mitch Joel's presentation helped us to see that we needed to change the paradigm of how we interacted with our customers. His ideas and insights have led us to new concepts in the development of our brands."
"Mitch Joel was enthusiastic, passionate and inspirational! His presentation was engaging and productive: our all-staff audience was excited with the challenges ahead, and inspired to explore new opportunities to meet the needs and expectations of the 'new' consumer. The combination of strong, compelling messages, the quick-pace and interactive presentation was truly compelling. To have Mitch as our first keynote speaker opened people's minds and spirits to wanting to learn more."
"Brutally honest... smart... visionary... inspirational... all words I would use to describe Mitch Joel, one of the most exciting, brilliant and motivational thought leaders I have been privileged to hear speak in a very long time...thank you Mitch for your insights, guidance and passion...you've certainly lit a fire under us!"certainly lit a fire under us!"
MECA Communications
"Mitch Joel - To be candid: I was beginning to despair just slightly - I'm afraid I found many of the earlier sessions really quite disappointing. I'd deliberately avoided getting too deep into the obvious topics in my opening remarks, thinking that the early speakers would cover all the basic ground for me. By the time we got to lunch, I was starting to think we had a complete flop on our hands.
I don't think it's an overstatement to say that you pretty much saved the first day. In fact - the whole thing would have been a much different and much better event if we'd had you as keynote... If I have anything to do with it, they'll not only invite you back for the next event - they'll give you a much bigger role."
Canadian Institute
"Mitch Joel managed to make a room full of seasoned journalists and writers sit up at attention and think about what they do in an entirely new light. One of our members called him inspiring, while another said it was the best presentation she'd ever seen. High praise from a tough crowd."
Professional Writers Association of Canada
"An engaging, dynamic speaker, knowledgeable and in tune with his audience's needs and comfort level with social media, Mitch Joel will open the eyes of the non-believers and everyone will leave the room feeling connected and having understood the power of the conversation online."
NATIONAL Public Relations
"Mitch Joel is a very talented presenter; he's extremely quick in adopting new marketing sciences and receives the highest ratings from his speaking classes. As a conference producer it's an honor to recommend Mitch Joel as a speaker, he's one of the best in our industry."
Internet Marketing Conference
"Mitch Joel is an extraordinary passionate individual who thrives on effective communication, clear messages, but always with content and value. He encourages the people he surrounds and manages to connect in a way where he immediately has the trust of the listener. In short, Mitch gets the attention of his audience, period!"
Danish Trade Commission
"Mitch Joel's keynote session was a highlight of Melcrum's CommsCanada 2006. A dynamic speaker, he captured the audience's attention and got the room buzzing with new ideas. His session was a real wake-up call for the audience and made for great discussion for the remainder of the conference."
"Mitch Joel can transmit his passion and knowledge easily to an audience. The team learned a lot and was highly motivated after the session, but the most important is that we had a lot of fun learning with him. He is a great speaker."
Yellow Pages Group
"Mitch Joel skilfully delivered an innovative, relevant, and timely keynote on personal branding to an audience of entrepreneurial business and MBA students, university alumni, industry professionals, and university administration that all clung onto his every word. His presentation was highly interactive, full of energy, insightful and inspirational. His message carried on well after the keynote and resonated with the audience in a manner we hoped and knew it would!"

EA has confirmed that this year's Madden will be called Madden NFL 25. The name comes as a celebration of the franchise's 25th anniversary and confirms a tease that EA sent out yesterday.
"There's no better way to celebrate and mark the culmination of 25 years of innovation than by naming this year's game Madden NFL 25," said EA Sports general manager of American football Cam Weber. "This year's game will push the boundaries with gameplay and feature innovations that will lay a very strong foundation for the next 25 years of this storied franchise."
EA has also revealed that the American football series has sold roughly 99m units, which translates to a lifetime revenue of $3.7bn.
The original John Madden Football was released back in 1988 on personal computers, and the NFL license was picked up for the series with Madden 94.
Fans will be able to vote for the cover of Madden NFL 25 based on a bracket of 32 "all-time NFL greats" versus 32 modern day NFL players. Voting will begin on March 11th on ESPN.
Madden NFL 25 will hit stores on August 27th.
Not quite sure about the "innovations." But exciting news nonetheless, for me at least.
I just hope Dan Marino is a vote option. Though I am betting Joe Montana will win. I still stand by that Dan Marino is and will always be better than Montana. He just never had a good defense, nor a Jerry Rice type player, yet still hosed defenses.

I suppose that every new year many people think back to years past. I was reading about some folks diving during the winter and it brought back memories of the 1960s and early 1970s and the brave men we were at that time.
Cold water meant nothing to us then. We dived in the summer and through the fall so naturally we dived in the winter. Some of my diving friends today would never think of jumping into the Gulf unless it was the temperature of bath water. Little do they know that winter is the best time to dive.
Reading about these divers brought back memories of launching on the beach and heading to the offshore tower. At that time, there were two U.S. Navy research towers located off the beaches; one about a mile offshore and one 11 miles offshore and in about 110 feet of water.
There was a saying then that there were old divers and that there were careless divers, but there were no old careless divers. We weren't careless divers, but none of us ever had attended dive classes because there only was one and Ronnie Groom taught that at C&G in downtown Panama City. We mostly taught ourselves by going to the jetties and eventually getting into deeper and deeper water.
By the time we regularly dived in 80 feet of water we thought we knew it all. After all, no one had died because of our actions. What we didn't know was we had a lot to learn.
Junior Young owned a gas station on the beach and he also filled dive tanks. One Saturday in January, I was at Young's gas station with Curtis Summers getting our tanks filled when he told us of some divers who had gone the offshore tower the day before. They told him of the giant jewfish (goliath grouper) and Warsaw grouper that were under the tower.
We immediately changed our dive plans to include the offshore tower and the next morning we launched Curtis' boat in front of my house at Sunnyside Beach. The temperature was in the 20s and halfway to the tower we had ice on the windshield.
Try launching a boat on the beach today and in no time half the Sheriff's department, three dozen news crews and two fire trucks will be on the scene before you can get the boat off the trailer. Times have changed.
Halfway to the tower I was having some doubts about our trip. It wasn't that it was so cold, but I could remember previous trips to the tower and the thought of jumping into that water gave me the spooks.
You could see 50 feet down because it was so clear, and there were barracuda and I mean big ones. At this time we weren't so sure they wouldn't tear you apart as soon as you got into the water.
When we got there we gave the horizon a good look. The Navy didn't want you tying to the legs of the tower. I suppose it thought we would pull the tower down. But tie up we did leaving a man in the boat to cut loose in case the Navy showed up.
I had a pretty good wet suit for cold water, but I also brought along a thermos of hot water which I poured down the front just before I jumped in. After talking it over for a few minutes we all plunged in. Soon there was a sight few if any divers will see today.
On the surface down to about 50 feet were all the barracuda you could count, but that wasn't all we saw. There were amberjack by the hundreds, enough to blot out the sun's rays as you got under them. All the jacks were large, but some were more than 100 pounds. None of us thought about shooting one because we had bigger plans on the bottom.
You would have thought that in the early 1970s there would have been snapper all around, but there were very few. The most fish we saw were Warsaw from the 70-pound range to the biggest one we killed of more than 250 pounds.
There was about as much skill involved in killing one of these big fish as walking out in your yard and shooting your cat. The Warsaw were about as tame as a family pet. I believe if you had offered one a fish he would have eaten it out of your hand.
But we were young and dumb and didn't know any better, so we killed anything we saw. Looking back, I never would do this again and I surely never would jump into 40-degree water unless the boat was on fire.
I owned an 8mm camera that I had purchased for what then was a considerable price. I filmed everything I thought was interesting, including Curtis shooting a sand tiger shark of about 12 feet in length. It still runs chills up my spine just watching it.
The shark went crazy and almost bit Curtis, and I'm sure it would have bitten me if I had stayed around. We managed to get it to the boat and today I still have pictures of the monster. I think it now is illegal to kill a sand tiger and we should have been ashamed of ourselves to have done it then.
Today the towers have been blown down. I never went back and dived them after they were cut down. I'm sure there still are fish around what is left of them, but no diver today will ever experience what we saw.
The torch has been handed to a new generation of divers just as it was passed to us from such divers as Ronnie Groom and the guys he dived with many years before Roger Dart, Summers and myself started diving in the mid-1960s.
I'm sure that Groom and divers such as Bill Tant (Capt. Scuba) saw many things we missed just like we saw things this generation of divers never will see.
Fifty years from now a different generation of divers undoubtedly will look back and say the same.

An epidemic of cam failures has plagued owners of older cars recently. That part of the story is well established. The controversial part concerns the causes for the rash of prematurely worn camshaft lobes. This article will examine three conditions, each of which separately may put cam life in jeopardy, but in combination can make the "perfect storm" to sink your engine. If a flat-tappet cam resides in your car, the information presented here may help prevent expensive engine work. If it's already too late, as was the case for this writer and many thousands of others, this article will show how to recover from a wiped cam. New parts options and other related work will also be featured.
The beginning of problems for flat-tappet cams was the rise in popularity of roller cams. Over the past 20 years, nearly all engines have switched to roller lifters, as did Corvette in 1987. The positive effects of this included greater efficiency, more horsepower per cubic inch, and less friction. The negative effect is that flat-tappet engines decreased in importance to oil manufacturers and decreased in numbers produced. Three results of this that concern us are changes in specific antiwear additives in motor oil, the increase in popularity of synthetic oils, and the decrease in U.S. suppliers of flat-tappet lifters.
Oils Have Changed
Major brand name oils have changed recently. The levels of specific antiwear additives, such as ZDDP, that are critical to flat-tappets have significantly decreased. Yet nowhere is this mentioned on the label. A reason for the reduction is to ensure catalytic converters last longer. Eventually, trace amounts of these additives will get past the rings or valveguide seals and go into the exhaust. Most auto manufacturers, now required to warranty emissions control systems for 120,000 miles, specify the newly formulated oils. These oils carry the API "starburst" graphic, which looks somewhat like a gear. If you have an older engine, you may want to avoid oils that display the gear's "teeth" or your cam may get chewed up.
Flat-tappets have one of the most highly stressed and poorly lubricated surfaces in an engine. The hardened cam shaft lobe is dragged across the hardened lifter face under great pressures from valvesprings and valvetrain inertia. Think of dragging a motorcycle on its side over a speed bump. It's a high-pressure, high-shear wear point, and it is not directly lubricated. Lubrication comes from drops of oil thrown off the crankshaft to, hopefully, splash on the bottom of the cam lobes. And this lubrication is minimal until engine rpm increases. That's why it's recommended to break in new flat-tappet cams at 2,000 rpm or more.
The higher levels of specific antiwear additives, such as ZDDP, help protect this highly stressed wear point. However, most of the engines produced during the last two decades don't have this critical wear point because they have roller lifters. Think of rolling a motorcycle on its tires over a speed bump-much less wear than dragging it over. Some oil manufacturers will say that the reduced levels of antiwear additives are fine for flat-tappet engines, and they may cite one dimensional laboratory studies on the new oils. However, the real-world experience is that thousands of flat-tappet camshafts have failed prematurely.
There are two ways a person can ensure they are using oil that has sufficient amounts of antiwear additives, commonly listed as 1,200 ppm ZDDP for flat-tappet engines with stock valve springs and 1,400 ppm for engines with higher spring rates. The first is to buy oil that is similar to older formulations. This used to be as simple as buying a diesel-rated oil, such as Shell Rotella T and Chevron Delo 400. Diesel engines also have highly stressed wear points, but diesel oils were reformulated to CJ-4 in 2007. Although the levels of ZDDP were reduced, most are still significantly higher than common car motor oils.

What can go faster than the speed of light? We've all learned this from an early age: nothing. And now IBM has developed a chip that makes it easier to shuttle data about using pulses of light instead of electrical signals.
The chip offers a way to move large amounts of information between processors in computer servers at much higher speeds than today's.
The development team said that using light instead of electrons to transmit data has two key advantages:
- Data can be sent longer distances between different parts of a server center without risking a loss of information.
- Data transfer speeds are faster, as light can be used to carry more information at once through cables.
Another significance of this breakthrough? It's much cheaper than other available options. More details here. (BBC News)

I love Going Postal, I'm one of the it's-in-my-top-ten camp. Even top five.
Re. the debate about how people felt about Moist's character - there's a difference between liking and enjoying a character. I thoroughly enjoy the character (in GP, not MM which I broadly disliked) and am very happy to spend this book following his story and hearing his thinking.
It doesn't mean I'm blind to that fact that he begins, and remains, essentially a bastard. Circumstance (via Vetinari) push him into a situation where his considerable skills can be used to benefit the city, and consequently Moist begins to change his attitude a bit. But his basic personality is still deeply flawed. Lord V sets a thief to catch a thief (or sets a spring-loaded pit etc etc....) by putting Moist on the case. Only someone with a grifter's nature could take on Gilt. Moist is the man for the job, and the job benefits everyone. But that doesn't make Moist a nice person. It's Moist's awareness of this that makes him sympathetic to me.
And I enjoy watching him be clever, for the same reason I enjoy a good heist or spy movie. It's fun to watch him outwit everyone.
Terry was also clever in the dynamic with the villain. There's books where it's good versus evil and the main character opposes everything that the villain stands for. But I've always enjoyed a story where the villain represents the worse side of the hero's nature. Someone the hero is able to look at and define themselves by not being. I think that's the major prompt to righteousness for Moist in GP, more that Lord V's machinations or wanting to convince Adora or anything. It's wanting to not be Reacher Gilt. The film kind of missed this point and didn't draw any comparisons between Moist and Reacher, I think to its detrement. For Moist to be heroic, he has to be confronting the version of himself that is villainous and working out what makes him different from that person.

So find footwear that match your journey. Womens rain boots are the puddle-proof footwear you need on a rainy day. Luxe sheepskin and casual boots offer a balance of warmth and style. Head out into the field with womens hunting boots or work and uniform boots for the job.
Select from a variety of boot features and styles, and find your new favorites from brands like UGG®, The North Face®, Timberland®, Merrell®, and Columbia®.
Buying Tips
Theres a boot for every adventureand the key to making the most of your time outdoors is finding the one thats right for you. Keep in mind these factors when making your selection:
Casual Boots are style must. Stand out with faux-fur or sheepskin-lined boots or make a statement in a high-rise leather riding boot. Womens ankle boots are ultra-lightweight and perfect when paired with your street wear.
Womens Rain Boots are designed to be fully waterproof. Many of these boots are constructed with rubber to better take on the elements. For warmth, look for rain boots lined with fleece or another
Womens Winter Boots are specially fortified with insulation to protect you from the elements. Aggressive rubber outsoles offer traction on slick surfaces.
Womens Hiking Shoes & Boots promote traction and stability on uneven terrain. These boots should be lightweight, but constructed with abrasion-resistant materials.
Expert Advice
Learn more about the construction of your boot:
- The area of the midsole of your boot is the upper. This portion of the boot should be completely waterproof. Materials like rubber and full-grain leather are naturally waterproof, while suede and knits can be treated to seal out moisture. Boots with an extended shaft help block out snow, while hiking boots with a gusseted tongue protect against dirt and debris. For breathability, try split-grain leather boots, which are paired with nylon for a lighter feel.
- The outsole of your boot is typically made of rubber. Casual boots have an outsole pattern designed to aid in traction. Work, hunting and winter boots may come with lugs, which make it easier to trek through mud and snow.
- The midsole of your boot should cushion and comfort. Look for a responsive material, like EVA.

I spent some time yesterday cutting into my collection of vintage sheets and fabrics before I pack them away to move. I have some really pretty stuff I'd forgotten about. And since I probably don't need 12 fat quarters of the same fabrics I put some cute fat quarter stacks in the shop.
I found the find of the century yesterday while garage sale-ing. And now my husband is gloating because he had to DRAG me out of bed and into the rain to find it. I found the CUTEST little wooden rocking chair. I haven't decided if I'll paint it white or just leave it. It sort of has a wooden vintage look now, but I do love me some white. These two are my favorite vintage fabric finds:
I've been saving up all these fat quarters and pieces to make a picnic/car quilt for summer. Something the little guy can drag around in the grass and I won't care. Now I just need some time to make it!

How to Apply:
-Use daily, applying evenly to clean skin morning and night.
-To ensure an even, thorough application of the cream, dot a small amount of the formula on the cheeks, forehead and
chin before massaging it into the skin in an upward circulation motion.
-For best results, apply when skin is still slightly damp, to help seal in the extra moisture.
-May also be used as needed to help occasional or patchy dryness as a result of seasonal changes.

CHICAGO, Illinois - Hawks fans have flocked to the Windy Cindy in droves in anticipation of Saturday's season opener against the University of Northern Illinois at Soldier Field.
The University of Iowa estimates that at least 25,000 Hawkeye fans will attend the game this weekend. Steve Roe, Director of Athletic Communications at the University of Iowa, called the estimate "conservative." The University sold all 16,500 tickets they requested ahead of the game, Roe said.
On Friday, fans from across the state made their presence noticed by flying flags and flaunting car stickers en route to Chicago via Interstate 80.
"It seems like there are a lot of Iowa fans on the road right now, normally for a Friday you wouldn't think the interstate would be this busy, lot of (Hawkeye) plates and stickers in the windows," said Joe Guidicessi, a Hawkeye fan from central Iowa. "Chicago is a good place to spend a weekend, and we're excited to see the game."
Many fans took the day off work and got to the city early to catch a Cubs game for Hawkeye Day at Wrigley Field. Men's Head Basketball Coach Fran McCaffery threw out the first pitch.

Close the School of the Americas During April 2011 Days of Action
Close the School of the Americas During April Days of Action
School of the Americas Watch (SOAW) is mobilizing for a gathering in Washington, DC from April 4-11, 2011 to take their demands to the White House, the halls of Congress, and other sources of military and foreign policy decisions.
Many WILPF women have been in the annual demonstrations at Fort Benning, Georgia, where the SOA (now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security and Cooperation) is located. A few of us have even "crossed the line", been arrested and served three months in prison. This imprisonment is a deliberate act of solidarity with the oppressed people and martyrs of the Americas, who suffer as a result of the repressive techniques taught to "students" at the SOA.
Turn Out For Rallies In Solidarity With The People Of Egypt!
No More US Support to the Mubarak Dictatorship!
Hands off Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen!
The Egyptian people, inspired by the victory in Tunisia and building on their own heroic rallies and strikes in recent years, have now taken the lead in the regional revolt against US-backed dictatorships. Today, Friday, January 28th, masses have poured into the streets for the third straight day of protest, and are once again fighting valiantly against cops and troops armed with US made and paid for weapons.
It is the US government which has created and STILL supports the Mubarak regime to the tune of $1.5 billion a year as part of its regional military apparatus, and it is US banks and corporations that have imposed the neoliberal austerity regime of unemployment, poverty and malnutrition against which Egyptian workers have been rebelling for decades.
The US Department of Defense is meeting this very week with Egyptian military officials to discuss how to maintain this oppression. A DoD press briefing reports: "With regards to Egypt:… we actually this week are hosting senior Egyptian military leaders at the Pentagon for our annual bilateral defense talks… So that's just an example of how engaged we are with the Egyptians, even as these developments have taken place on the streets in Cairo and elsewhere…"
And it is the US State Department which has already begun maneuvers throughout the region to ensure that any governments that fall are replaced with equally compliant regimes -- maneuvers such as the visit by the head of "Near East Affairs" in the State Department this week to Tunisia, and by their "National Democratic Institute" to Yemen, to "advise" on "clean elections" – i.e. to plot how to subvert the goals of the masses in the streets.
Sign A Petition Against Four More Years of War
This petition was created by Tom Hayden on November 15, 2010 and is viewable here or click on the image.
Here is some material as posted at the petition site:
It is not a peace plan. It is a plan for four more years of combat by US and NATO forces.
It is not a plan for US or Western troop withdrawals but for further occupation. It is a proposal to gradually lessen Western casualties and lessen Western visibility while transitioning to Western-financed, Western-armed, and Western-advised Afghan army combat in a civil conflict. It is a plan for long-term Western military bases.
It is not a plan to stop al Qaeda or terrorists from attacking Western targets. There are virtually no al Qaeda left in Afghanistan. The most recent terrorist attacks on America have been inspired by our deepening wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In seeking to save our military reputation, we all but assure future threats against Western targets. CIA officials even describe Yemen's al Qaeda cell as more dangerous than al Qaeda in Pakistan. [NYT, Oct. 18, 2010]
It pre-empts the Administration's own proposal for a full "review" of Afghan policy in December. The timing instead is aimed at shoring up a faltering Western alliance.
WILPF Takes Direct Action to End Wars
In Boston, WILPF members assembled outside the office of Sen. John Kerry to protest the ongoing war in Afghanistan. In Philadelphia, WILPF members visited the offices of Sen. Robert Casey and Rep. Joe Sestak with written statements. Member Marge Van Cleef specifically challenged the U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are killing people indiscriminately. She and other members called for a moratorium on the "war on terror." During the action, Dr. Ronald Coburn discussed the high suicide rate of returning U.S. soldiers. Citing a recent study which showed that between 2005 and 2008, the number of California vets who committed suicide was three times higher than the number of soldiers killed in action during the same period, Dr. Coburn called for officials to include these suicides in their total number of military deaths. He recommended increasing the funding for support and therapy groups for the 25 percent of soldiers who return home suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). WILPF Member Dory Loder highlighted the cost of the war, which has exceeded $3 trillion.
Action Proposal Submitted by WILPF's End the Wars Issue Committee:
Read full Action Program as Adopted by National Conference to Bring the Troops Home Now!
Action Proposal Submitted by WILPF's End the Wars Issue Committee:
We call for the equal participation of women in all aspects of the antiwar movement. We propose nonviolent direct actions at local U.S. Congressional offices, federal buildings, defense corporations' facilities, or military bases. These activities would be nationally coordinated local actions, on the same day, for everyone.
Nonviolent direct actions often result in arrest, thus participants would be prepared for that possible outcome before joining the action. Nonviolence training would be offered locally, with lists of trainers being made available.
We would welcome women who choose not to participate in the direct action to come as supporters, as protesters with banners, leaflets, and as press contacts.
Exit Afghanistan? You Make the Call
Women voting in Afghanistan
The evidence that the war in Afghanistan is a catastrophe just keeps piling up. Despite General McChrystal's efforts to reduce civilian deaths, we just learned that so far this year the number of civilians killed by NATO has more than doubled.
This includes a botched raid where special operations forces killed five innocent civilians – including two pregnant women – and then tried to cover it up. Just last week, troops fired into a bus full of civilians, killing as many as five people and causing a firestorm of protest. The Associated Press (4/12/10) has reported that: "With troop levels rising amid heightened violence, at least 2,412 Afghan civilians were killed in fighting last year, an increase of 14 percent from 2008, according to the United Nations … NATO earlier this month confirmed that international troops were responsible for the deaths of five people, including three women, killed Feb. 12 in Gardez, south of Kabul. An Afghan government report on the incident claims U.S. special forces had mistaken their targets and later sought to cover up the killings by digging bullets out of bodies, according to investigators who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media."
Earlier this month, the WikiLeaks website released a harrowing video from 2007 of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter opening fire on a group of civilian men in Bagdad, two of whom were journalists working for Reuters.
End Wars Issue Committee Statement on War in Afghanistan and Drone Bombings in Pakistan
January, 2010
WILPF urges the U.S. Congress and all respective government departments to rescind a policy on continuing and escalating a dangerous war and occupation in Afghanistan, announced by President Obama in his December 1 speech at West Point This path of escalation is inflicting "collateral" damage on a civilian population and propping up a corrupt government. This escalation now includes CIA –operated drone (pilotless) aircraft attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan, attacks which are war crimes forbidden by Nuremburg and the Army Field Manual. We condemn the possible further destabilization of the entire region, including Iraq, Yemen and Iran for the stated goal of capturing Al-Qaeda members and destroying the network. This endless war is killing civilians and military personnel on all sides in the war and becomes a recuiting tool for Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. The Taliban, whether in Afghanistan or Pakistan, is not a direct military threat to the United States.
Kucinich Announces Introduction of Privileged Resolution to End Afghan War
Saturday, 27 February 2010
(February 25, 2010) - On Thursday, March 4, 2010 Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) will introduce his privileged resolution that will require House debate on continuing the war in Afghanistan.
It is expected that the resolution will be taken up for consideration on the following Wednesday, March 10, 2010 and that the debate will be subject to a rule providing for three hours of debate.
More War?
More War?
The cost of employing one soldier is $1 million per year*, in addition to money for equipment, for private contractors and for war-making materials, etc. To this figure we must add the cost of providing medical support for the injured soldiers who return to the U.S. We must oppose this ongoing war as strongly as possible. As Malalai Joya, a former member of the Afghan Parliament says, "A troop surge can only magnify the crime against Afghanistan." Read her op-ed in The Guardian here.
The truth behind the Afghan insurgency
From the Boston Globe Newspaper, August 17, 2009, page 11
ON A RECENT TRIP to Kabul for our nonprofit organization, Jobs for Afghans, Najim Dost and I made a startling discovery: There is no true Taliban insurgency.
Yes, there is a Taliban leadership, many of whom are "foreigners,'' meaning, non-Afghans. Yes, there are many fighting-age men who fight because they are paid to do so, by the small cadre of Taliban and Al Qaeda commanders who have plenty of opium money. They fork out the excellent wage in these parts of $8 per day for "insurgent work.''
But a die-hard, dedicated army of fighters who pledge allegiance to the Taliban ideology and cause? It's not there. Even Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged last March, "Roughly 70 percent are involved because of the money.'' And General Karl Eikenberry, former commander of US forces in Afghanistan, said to Congress in 2007: "Much of the enemy force is drawn from the ranks of unemployed men looking for wages to support their families.''

Touching art is generally frowned upon, but Bob Dylan encourages it. In his sculpture, "Untitled IV, 2012-2013," welded iron objects, many of them vintage, are configured into a giant sculpture on the wall, complete with wrenches, wheels and a lever viewers are welcome to crank.
The singer-songwriter's artwork was on display Thursday at the launch celebration of ArtHamptons, which opened with "Bob Dylan: The Drawn Blank Series" at Mark Borghi Fine Art in Bridgehampton.
The show was reflective of the weekend it previewed. It questioned what art is, with the musician's paintings of naked women and city apartments next to crumpled up sculptures by John Chamberlain. It celebrated lesser known artists and multi-faceted, non-conforming talent, featuring a man well known for his music but relatively unknown for his artwork. And it brought in a crowd of local gallery owners, noted personalities and regulars on the East End's art scene.
"Dylan's work is a visual extension of his lyrical genius," said Mike Pintauro, curatorial assistant at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill. "Esoteric and personal, energetic and slightly deranged."
ArtHamptons, which takes place at NOVA's Ark on Millstone Road in Bridgehampton, has been one of the East End's largest fine art fairs for the past six summers and the seventh edition promises to be the most diverse yet, with art of varied mediums, styles and prices from across the world.
"It's the largest selection ever," founder and president Rick Friedman said on Monday, July 7.
Organized by Hamptons Expo Group, ArtHamptons will present more than 80 global art galleries, featuring 2,000 works from some 500 artists.
Although there is considerable international involvement, the fair remains dedicated first and foremost to the local creative talent abundant on the East End. The theme this year is "Escape," reflective of the idyllic calm that can still be found in some corners of the East End—even in the summertime.
"There's a lot of local galleries from the Hamptons showing a lot of local artists," Mr. Friedman said. "We always have a touch of our relationship with the Hamptons art movement of the '50s, '60s, '70s."
"ArtHamptons is a celebration of the arts in the Hamptons," said Mr. Friedman. "We're celebrating that we have such an extraordinarily creative community."
Local galleries such as RJD Gallery, Bridgehampton Fine Art, Tulla Booth Gallery, Monika Olko Gallery and Chase Edwards Gallery will have booths at the fair.
American representational painter Jane Freilicher, who has a home in Water Mill, and avant-garde theater artist Robert Wilson, founder of the Watermill Center, will be honored.
Galleries are coming to Water Mill this weekend from as close as Sag Harbor and as far away as Hiroshima; with 12 countries represented, the show is more international this year than ever in the past.
The Villa del Arte Gallery of Catalonia, which has spaces in Barcelona and Amsterdam, is bringing the work of Fernando Adam, Karenina Fabrizzi and Claudia Meyer, among others. In "Hybrid ML2" by Christiaan Lieverse, mixed media, cowhide and resin are combined on canvas to create a streaked gray woman's face with sharp eyes that are hard to turn away from.
The French Art Gallery is bringing the work of esteemed French artists such as Nanan and Pierre-Francois Grimaldo from its gallery in Kensington, London, to the East End. Dedicated to exposing the vibrant street art scene in France, the gallery is also bringing innovative artists like Speedy Graphito, a pioneer of the French Street Art movement since the early 1980s.
Envie d'Art Galleries, located in Paris and London, will be on hand with a broad and diverse collection that aims to promote artists on an international scale, with exhibitions in cities like Brussels, Chicago, Milan and, Singapore and now Water Mill.
The 418 Art Gallery from Bucharest, Romania, 308 Arte Contemporaneo of La Habana, Cuba and Art Company MISOOLSIDAE from Seoul, South Korea, will also have booths at the fair.
Several galleries from Korea will be present, which "encourages viewers to experience a not so familiar world in a contemporary setting—opening up the culture to new interpretations while further contextualizing the artists' ideas," Mr. Friedman said in a press release.
ArtHamptons is Thursday, July 10, through Sunday, July 13, at the Sculpture Fields of NOVA's Ark in Bridgehampton, located at 30 Millstone Road in Water Mill. For more information and a complete schedule of events, call (631) 283-5505 or visit arthamptons.com.
