What to include in your PPC Report
Your boss is expecting an AdWords performance report. Not sure what to report on?
Before you get into a black hole of AdWords and Analytics data, first decide what your goals are and what the essential metrics to report on are.
PPC Reporting Structure
PPC Goal Setting
Aimlessness is not the way to go. You'll enjoy the process of reporting a whole lot more if you see it as a competition (against yourself). With your boss, decide on goals, and aim for those.
Goals for PPC can be at Campaign, Ad Group or Account level. If you're focusing on improving performance for a particular campaign, report specifically on that campaign, as well as giving an account level overview.
Examples of goals may be:
- Increase Conversions by 5%
- Increase Conversion Rate by 0.5%
- Increase CTR
- Reduce CPC
Date Range
If you're reporting once a month, use the data from the past month. Likewise, If you report once a week, use the previous weeks data. Compare data from the previous period by selecting the compare dates toggle, and selecting 'previous period'.
Analytics or Adwords?
Use both Adwords and Analytics data for metric reporting. Analytics is especially good for reporting on AdWords sourced 'revenue', 'products purchased', 'average order value', 'time on site', and 'bounce rate'. Both accounts allow export as a PDF, which you can use to put together your report.
Keep it Relevant
Look at the changes you've made and the knock on effects of those changes. For yourself, figure out what works and what doesn't. When reporting to your boss you're likely to focus on the Key PPC Metrics (below).
Think about how your report will be received, and what information the people in the meeting are looking for. It might be worthwhile to ask what metrics are important to certain people in the room, so you can tailor your report to them.
Key PPC Metrics
To get data in AdWords, select the correct date range then click on 'all online campaigns'. You can compare the date range to the previous period (as above).
Managers will generally want to know the following overall account statistics:
1. How many conversions were generated from PPC
Use the Conv (1 Per click) Column in AdWords. If it's an e-commerce site, also report on E-commerce Conversions (Analytics > Conversions > Product Performance with 'Paid Search Traffic' as your advanced segment) and 'Assisted Conversions' (Conversions > E-commerce > Multi-Channel Funnels > Assisted Conversions).
2. How much did those conversions cost?
Note the overall AdWords cost for the set time period. Also check out the Cost/Conv (1 Per Click) Column.
3. How can you reduce the cost of those conversions?
Report on what you did last month and what you plan to do next month. See examples below.
- Review the Search Terms Report for negative keyword opportunities
- Review Landing Pages for Relevancy
- A/B test ad copy
- Filter and review keywords for Low CTR, Low Quality Score, 0r Conversions
4. What is the level of PPC growth?
This can be visualised using the graphs in Google Analytics. Select the date range, and go to Advertising > Campaigns Report, then plot transactions against visits. Be sure to select the E-commerce tab too (if it's an e-commerce site). The comparative date range option allows you to see the change in revenue, transactions and conversion rate.
Your own reporting should expand upon these to include:
1. CTR Changes
2. New Keywords Added
3. KW's that haven't worked - add to Spreadsheet
4. Impression Share
5. Top Vs Other Report
What is a conversion for you?
Be sure of what you define as a conversion. If your company views both registrations and sales as conversions, you'll need to segment this data to give you a better idea of ROI figures.
I recently came across this exact scenario. The client had both registrations and sales set up in Adwords as conversions. In order to segment the data, we set up a URL goal in Analytics for registrations instead, and removed the registration conversion tracking in AdWords.
Split Display, Search & Remarketing
Be sure to report on each medium separately. This means that your search campaign metrics won't get dragged down lower performing brand awareness display campaigns. When you scroll to the bottom of the "all online campaigns" page within Adwords, you'll see the Search/Display split.
Remarketing ads have a higher CTR than an equivalent display ad, and their key metric is view-through conversions. Be sure to report on remarketing separately by clicking on the Display Network tab > Interests & Remarketing tab. Again, scroll to the bottom and pick out Conv (1 per Click) as well as View Through Conv.
Advantages of PPC Metric Reporting
If you can prove your effectiveness at each reporting meeting, you'll quickly prove your own worth. Appropriate reporting makes it easier to manage expectation and offer solutions.
Summary & Actionable Recommendations
While high level reports are often just what your boss is looking for, you should always have more detailed reports for yourself, reviewing the performance from all angles.
Be aware of changes that affect the company, as well as changes within AdWords and Analytics. Use those insights to set your reports in context. As new features come out in AdWords and Analytics (regularly!) have a play, maybe it can further improve your reporting.

What I include in my reports does change somewhat depending on the particular client. They're all bricks and mortar local business owners so most often their biggest interest is the the conversion of site visitors into paying customers. Sometimes hard to do but it's the only stat most of them care about. The rest they like to leave to me.
Definitely! Their biggest interest is the bottom line and while I try to include all relevant information, stats that (hopefully) show a positive ROI get their attention quickest.

Poor, poor Vin Mazzaro
May 17, 2011, 8:25 AM EDT
When a pitcher "wears one," it means he takes one for the team in a blowout, helping preserve the other arms in the bullpen to fight and pitch another day. Vin Mazzaro did that last night in the Royals' 19-1 loss to the Indians, and he did so in epic fashion. According to Joe Posnanski, this was the single worst performance by a pitcher. Ever. In baseball history. As Posnanski notes, no reliever since World War II had allowed 14 runs in a game and no pitcher has ever allowed 14 runs in less than three innings.
Mazzaro was sent down to Omaha after the game. And in this case, he's probably happy for the demotion. Not out of shame, but for his own good and the good of Ned Yost who, for reasons that baffle me, let Mazarro take that abuse. Especially considering that the very purpose such abuse is supposed to serve — saving the pen — didn't even happen. Nope, Yost still used Tim Collins, Joakim Soria and three other relievers in this one, which makes no sense to me at all. Don't you put your utility infielder in to pitch a couple of innings at some point?
Mazzaro said all of the right things after the game, but man, at some point you'd hope your manager would save you from all of that.
- Old Gator - May 17, 2011 at 8:38 AM
Oww. It even hurts to read about this. The only beating I can recall that compares to that one was administered by my ex-wife.
- proudlycanadian - May 17, 2011 at 9:00 AM
Some of us know just how vicious ex wives can be.
- Old Gator - May 17, 2011 at 11:18 AM
True, but what makes my ex-wife such an anomaly is that we're supposed to be a bit less susceptible to cabin fever down here than you guys.
- heyblueyoustink - May 17, 2011 at 9:20 AM
"The Charge of the Light Brigade" comes to mind……
- Jonny 5 - May 17, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Only Marcellus Wallace in that dark cold basement knows how Vin Mazzaro felt last night. At least Wallace got his revenge, I'm afraid poor Vin Mazzaro will not get his.
- heyblueyoustink - May 17, 2011 at 9:40 AM
Indeed, but is there a Butch on this team to help bail him out?
And which Indian is the gimp?
- Old Gator - May 17, 2011 at 11:19 AM
I dunno, but they all went medieval on Vinnie's ass last night.
- Jonny 5 - May 17, 2011 at 11:48 AM
Blue,There was no Butch. Only Zed, Maynard, and the Gimp. And they let their buddies have fun too.
- heyblueyoustink - May 17, 2011 at 12:40 PM
"And when you go, you stay gone, or you be gone"……….
Yeah, I gotcha 5
- Lukehart80 - May 17, 2011 at 9:48 AM
This is the 4th time since the turn of the century that the Indians have won by at least 18 runs (most in MLB), so I've seen this before.
What made last night unique is it was the first of those four butt-kickings that didn't come against the Yankees!
- sportsdrenched - May 17, 2011 at 9:55 AM
You Know, I thought the Royals were passed historicly epicly bad performances but I guess not.
I guess we'll throw this on the pile of other comical plays in Royals history: Ken Harvey getting hit in the back with a throw from RF. A pop fly dropping between two outfielders to help continue a 19 game losing streak, and my favorite, because I saw it in person…batting out of order in the 1st inning.
However, there is some good news. With Kyle Davies on the DL with a case of Suckass, and Vin Mazzaro back in Omaha with the same condition. Surely, Surely they have to call up Danny Duffy or Mike Montgomery now, right?
- spudchukar - May 17, 2011 at 10:10 AM
Saw his line score last night, did a double take… There is taking one for the team and then there is this. Then demoted the next A.M. Please keep all sharp objects away from Vinnie for awhile and Ned, enough is enough, at some point it borders on torture.
- antelope850 - May 17, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I wonder if any poor soul had him active in an AL only league.
- rebarratige - May 17, 2011 at 10:45 AM
I have a lot of sympathy for this guy, but does it really count as "wearing one" when the reliever is the player most responsible for the blowout? When he came in, it was a three-run ballgame. Every one of those 14 runs was earned, and he only stuck around for 2.1 innings, leaving the rest to a handful of other relievers. It sounds more like the rest of the team was wearing Vin's poor performance.
- bobulated - May 17, 2011 at 12:52 PM
At some point it's the managers job to rescue a guy who obviously doesn't have it that particular evening. Yes he pitched incredibly poorly but Yost should have gone and got him before it got so out of hand.
- Paul White - May 17, 2011 at 11:35 AM
On top of letting him take the abuse, Yost also threw Mazzaro under the bus after the game. He was asked by reporters if it was a tough situation for Mazzaro to be in since he was slated to be the next day's starter and therefore showed up to the ballpark with zero expectation that he would be pitching that night. Yost's reply was no, it shouldn't have been a tough situation, because it was actually Mazzaro's normal day to pitch due to the rainout the day before.
While true, it also completely ignores that normal preparation routine for a starter, and ignores Yost's own words from the week before. After Mazzaro got beat up a bit in New York partly because he had a tough travel day the night before upon being called up, Yost said he didn't want to judge Mazzaro until he'd had a couple of starts under "normal" circumstances. I guess that means Yost considers last night's circumstances to be "normal".
In short, I don't think Ned Yost is going to be making Vin Mazzaro's Christmas card list this year.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - May 17, 2011 at 12:48 PM
I'm honored to have had the opportunity to watch this game and thus seeing history in the making. Awesome.
Question: which is worse? The Mazzaro performance or the Phillies offense? (hint: only biceptual curious may answer).

Jazzy Music Teacher Winner Announced!

Great Live Moments - Abbey Lincoln
April 8, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: aaron walker, abbey lincoln, anna marie, bassist, carmen, diva, drummer, gaby, Iridium, Jazz Alive, lincoln, Listening Post, Live Music, marc cary, max roach, moseka, pianist, poet laureate, professional names, proof, singers, vulnerabilities, wbgo
Abbey Lincoln is proof that a rose by any other name smells as sweet. The reigning diva of jazz has had more than a few names over the years. She was born Anna Marie Wooldridge. Her earliest professional names include Gaby Wooldridge and Gaby Lee. For eight years, she was legally Mrs. Max Roach. The cultural minister of Zaire bestowed the name Aminata Moseka.
Abbey Lincoln has certainly earned the right of the great singers in our music, those who need only one name. Billie. Sarah. Ella. Carmen. Betty. Abbey.
For decades, Ms. Lincoln has also been the poet laureate of jazz. Her songs have expressed the essential components of a life unfolding, the sum of our strengths and vulnerabilities. That which makes us human. What's right and what's wrong with us. What we have done. What we can do better.
WBGO recorded Abbey Lincoln at Iridium in New York, October 1996. Marc Cary is the pianist, Michael Bowie the bassist, Aaron Walker the drummer.
Listen to Abbey Lincoln sing "Bird Alone," from the WBGO Archives.
Animated animation of "Giant Steps"
April 8, 2008Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
I was at the Museum of Modern Art this week for a press screening of a film ("Mickey One" starring a very young Warren Beatty, with music by Eddie Sauter, solos by Stan Getz) that will be part of a film and animation series and art exhibit called Jazz Score. I'll have some more about this on the WBGO Journal very soon, but that's not what this post is about.
The screening sent me to the web looking for jazz animation and I came across this great animation of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" on You Tube. Take a look. Let it load so that it syncs up. It'll give you a great appreciation of the genius of Coltrane. Emjoy - David Cruz

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's military moved swiftly Thursday against senior figures of the Muslim Brotherhood, targeting the backbone of support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi. In the most dramatic step, authorities arrested the group's revered leader from a seaside villa and flew him by helicopter to detention in the capital.
With a top judge newly sworn in as interim president to replace Morsi, the crackdown poses an immediate test to the new army-backed leadership's promises to guide Egypt to democracy: The question of how to include the 83-year-old fundamentalist group.
That question has long been at the heart of democracy efforts in Egypt. Hosni Mubarak and previous authoritarian regimes banned the group, raising cries even from pro-reform Brotherhood critics that it must be allowed to participate if Egypt was to be free. After Mubarak's fall, the newly legalized group vaulted to power in elections, with its veteran member Morsi becoming the country's first freely elected president.
Now the group is reeling under a huge backlash from a public that says the Brotherhood and its Islamist allies abused their electoral mandate. The military forced Morsi out Wednesday after millions of Egyptians nationwide turned out in four days of protests demanding he be removed.
Adly Mansour, the head of the Supreme Constititonal Court, with which Morsi had repeated confrontations, was sworn in as interim president.
In his inaugural speech, broadcast nationwide, he said the anti-Morsi protests that began June 30 had "corrected the path of the glorious revolution of Jan. 25," referring to the 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak.
To cheers from his audience, he also praised the army, police, media and judiciary for standing against the Brotherhood. Islamists saw those institutions as full of Mubarak loyalists trying to thwart their rule.
Furious over what it calls a military coup against democracy, the Brotherhood said it would not work with the new leadership. It and harder-line Islamist allies called for a wave of protests Friday, dubbing it the "Friday of Rage," vowing to escalate if the military does not back down.
There are widespread fears of Islamist violence in retaliation for Morsi's ouster, and already some former militant extremists have vowed to fight.
Suspected militants opened fire at four sites in northern Sinai, targeting two military checkpoints, a police station and el-Arish airport, where military aircraft are stationed, security officials said. The military and security responded to the attacks, and one soldier was killed and three were injured, according to security officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Multiple officials of the Brotherhood firmly urged their followers to keep their protests peaceful. Thousands of Morsi supporters remained massed in front of a Cairo mosque where they have camped for days, with line of military armored vehicles across the road keeping watch.
"We declare our complete rejection of the military coup staged against the elected president and the will of the nation," the Brotherhood said in a statement, read by senior cleric Abdel-Rahman el-Barr to the crowd outside the Rabia al-Adawiya Mosque in Cairo.
"We refuse to participate in any activities with the usurping authorities," the statement said, urging Morsi supporters to remain peaceful. The Rabia al-Adawiya protesters planned to march Friday to the Ministry of Defense.
The Brotherhood denounced the crackdown, including the shutdown Wednesday night of its television channel, Misr25, its newspaper and three pro-Morsi Islamist TV stations. The military, it said, is returning Egypt to the practices of "the dark, repressive, dictatorial and corrupt ages."
A military statement late Thursday appeared to signal a wider wave of arrests was not in the offing. A spokesman, Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali, said in a Facebook posting that that the army and security forces will not take "any exceptional or arbitrary measures" against any political group.
The military has a "strong will to ensure national reconciliation, constructive justice and tolerance," he wrote. He spoke against "gloating" and vengeance, saying only peaceful protests will be tolerated and urging Egyptians not to attack Brotherhood offices to avert an "endless cycle of revenge."
The army's removal of Morsi sparked massive celebrations Wednesday night among the crowds of protesters around the country, with fireworks, dancing and blaring car horns lasting close to dawn.
The constitution, which Islamists drafted and Morsi praised as the greatest in the world, has been suspended. Also, Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud, the Mubarak-era top prosecutor whom Morsi removed to much controversy, was reinstated to his post and immediately announced investigations against Brotherhood officials.
Many of the Brotherhood's opponents want them prosecuted for what they say were crimes committed during Morsi's rule, just as Mubarak was prosecuted for protester deaths during the 2011 uprising. In the past year, dozens were killed in clashes with Brotherhood supporters and with security forces.

HI all !!!
Temps are going up here in the great commonwealth of Va. Been planting lots in the garden.. that's why I haven't been around much PLUS I got a new kiln an dhave been busy!
Anyway... I have new things that I am planting that I got from the high school. Has anyone ever grown MANGO MELON or Ground Cheeries?
MIss you all,
haven't actually grown them yet, need to get the seeds in soon, not sure if they are perennial or just reseed themselves good, they are kind of like cherry tomatoes with a husk and are very drought tolerant as far as tomato family members go!
My newest pets, fish in my pond, are growing like mad, and are getting used to me and actually let me see them without sneaking up on them!
Are the cherries a vine or bush?
that grow wild along the road around my place, which look just like a small tomato plant but doesn't need a cage. But it might depend on what variety you have, the ones I know of are from wild stock (native plants).
the packet says they are extra sweet and good for preserves, pies, and topping ice-cream, they are often sprawling plants,,,,shows what I know!

What's so good?
By Hugh McClure | Aug 13, 2013 | Total plays: 16,197
The band's first effort is pretty easy to fall for, with plenty of sparkling guitar and synth, emotive vocals, and a number of stirring choruses. Fans of anthem-driven bands like the Temper Trap and The Naked and Famous will find themselves especially enraptured.
"East Friend" marks a very positive beginning for this band, and I highly doubt I'll have trouble finding out about them next time around.

Once I had gotten on track with my work life, I sought out ways to get back into volunteering. There are many groups out there and so I went to many social events and meetings to learn more about them. The one that made the best impression that I stuck with was The Nature Conservancy's Young Professionals Group. I got involved with planning their annual benefit in November 2008. Watching how the group came up with ideas, processed information, and got things done was more than impressive—this group was effective in accomplishing set goals and raising funds and awareness of the conservation issues that are out there. Just as importantly, the people that make up the group are friendly, welcoming, and fun—why wouldn't I want to spend more of my free time with them?
Some of the fun things we do include hikes up Breakneck Ridge, kayaking on the Hudson River, socializing during cocktail hours to meet conservation minded peers in all fields of work, and learning more about conservation through talks with The Nature Conservancy's staff and scientists. Members can get more involved by joining committees, sharing their time, expertise, and resources for making these exciting programs happen. The group has been around for over 6 years already and is going strong!
Our annual benefit is coming up again on March 30, 2011 at Tribeca Rooftop. Proceeds from the evening Wild at Heart: Cooking Up a Sustainable Life will support The Nature Conservancy's Heart of the Adirondacks project, a 175,000 acre acquisition that safeguards for future generations more than 101 mountains, 314 lakes and ponds, and over 415 miles of rivers and streams, including 48 miles of the Hudson River – 12% of the upper Hudson watershed! Last year more than 500 young professionals attended the fundraiser benefitting The Nature Conservancy's work in the Coral Triangle, which raised nearly $170,000!! We hope to have similar success this year during a fun evening of cocktails, a silent auction, music, and specially prepared sustainable hors d'oeuvres by celebrity chefs.

William Shatner's Priceline Negotiator dies in a fiery bus crash
Talk about going out with a bang!
When Priceline decided to go with a new marketing strategy after having William Shatner's Priceline Negotiator (c'mon, you know the jingle!) shill for the company for 14 years, they went all out.
In a new commercial, presumably Shatner's last for the company, the Negotiator helps save bus passengers from an accident on a bridge, encourages them to take a vacation, then tumbles off the bridge in the bus into a fiery crash below.
Guess they really mean business! The bright side: It's only a commercial, so if they decide they want Shatner back at some point in the future, they can probably think of something hilarious and nonsensical and it'll totally be okay.
Shatner can next be seen in his one-man Broadway show, "Shatner's World: We All Just Live In It," which opens in February.

Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is the end result of a progressively weakened heart muscle and almost always is ultimately fatal. Heart failure can be caused by a number of different things, including injury or trauma to the heart, congenital or developmental defects of the heart chambers or valves, bacterial, viral or fungal infections, ingestion of toxins, environmental stressors, breed predispositions and hereditary heart abnormalities. Heart failure occurs in dogs of both genders and of all ages and breeds, including mixed breeds. It is more common in middle-aged and older animals. Toy dogs and small breeds usually develop heart failure as a result of chronic valvular disease that is accompanied by regurgitation of blood through the mitral and/or tricuspid heart valves. The hearts of large and giant-breed dogs more frequently fail from a disorder known as dilated cardiomyopathy, or DCM, which involves abnormal enlargement of the heart.
The heart of a dog in heart failure is weak and can't pump blood properly. This causes an abnormally large amount of blood to stay in the dog's arteries, which carry oxygenated blood from the heart throughout the body; and veins, which return unoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart and lungs. This interferes with the mechanisms that normally regulate fluid balance and causes fluid to accumulate in the chest, creating congestion. Sometimes, the congestion associated with heart failure only causes mild discomfort with few noticeable signs. Unfortunately, in many cases, heart failure leads to life-threatening fluid overload and total heart shut-down. Regardless of the inciting cause, when a dog's heart cannot fill with and pump blood properly, the health of other organs, including the liver, lungs, kidneys and brain, becomes compromised.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot of reliable things that can be done to reduce the risk of heart failure in companion animals. One important thing that responsible owners can do to stave off heart disease is to prevent their dogs from becoming obese. Overweight dogs, like overweight people, are predisposed to developing heart problems. Dogs that are fed a high-quality, palatable, nutritious diet and exercise regularly tend to have better heart health than portly, sedentary animals. All dogs should have free access to fresh water, safe housing, soft bedding and appropriate protection from weather extremes at all times. Heartworm infection can contribute to congestive heart failure, and dogs living in areas where heartworm is prevalent should be kept on a regular course of heartworm preventatives as directed by their veterinarian.
A number of medications are available to treat or at least manage the effects of heart failure in dogs. Drug therapy can help reduce the build-up of fluid in the dog's chest, ease the heart's workload and relieve the breathing difficulties that invariably accompany heart failure. Of course, the dog's veterinarian is in the best position to advise owners about appropriate treatment options.

Qualifies for the list as a Declining Yellow List Species
Photo: Greg Lavaty
An uncommon and local resident in the Sonoran Desert from south central Arizona south into western Mexico where in some areas it is widespread, the shy and elusive Rufous-winged Sparrow prefers a flat or gently hilly topography with a cover of thornbush and mixed bunchgrass. It is also found along washes with vegetated slopes. Within its limited range and somewhat limited habitat, overgrazing has diminished the sparrow's numbers and distribution.
The bird was once considered by the American Ornithologists' Union to be extirpated from Arizona due to overgrazing, but it has been detected at many locations in its Arizona range since then. However much of the land near Tucson is now unsuitable for the bird, due to urbanization, grazing, and agriculture. Dependent on rainfall to stimulate nesting, it usually nests only a few days after the summer rains begin. Since its nesting cycle does not match that of the Brown-headed Cowbird, the amount of nest parasitism is limited. Territories are maintained the entire year, and the bird mates for life. Populations fluctuate in response to rainfall. The prime threat to the bird is overgrazing and management beneficial to the species on public lands should be encouraged.

The Special Power Excursion Reactor Test III (SPERT III) was a series of reactivity insertion experiments conducted in the 1950s. This paper describes the validation of the U.S. NRC coupled code system TRITON/PARCS/TRACE to simulate reactivity insertion accidents (RIA) using several of the SPERT III tests. The NRC coupled code system was used to perform the SPERT III E-Core configuration tests in which the RIA was initiated by the rapid ejection of a central cruciform control rod. The resulting superprompt reactivity excursion and negative Doppler reactivity feedback produced the familiar bell-shaped power increase and decrease. The energy deposition during such a power excursion has important safety consequences, and the SPERT III tests provide a validation basis for the NRC coupled multiphysics codes. The models were developed using the original experiment documentation, and the results of five separate tests were used to validate the TRITON/PARCS/TRACE coupled code system.

Graduate (Blu-ray) (1967)

Category Keywords: 1960s Black Comedy Classic Coming Of Age Essential Cinema Love Story Recommended Theatrical Release

Editor's NoteDirector Mike Nichols's THE GRADUATE is the satirical coming-of-age comedy that became an emotional touchstone for an entire generation. In the mid-1960s, Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman), a confused college graduate, is pulled in myriad directions by family, friends, and associates just days after receiving his degree. Seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), an older friend of the family, Ben carries on an affair with the married woman even as he falls for her daughter, Elaine (Katharine Ross). However, Ben and Elaine's attempts at romance are threatened by the spiteful rage of Mrs. Robinson, who proceeds to hastily arrange Elaine's marriage to someone else, leading up to one of the most memorable endings in cinema history.With its striking photography and clever editing, THE GRADUATE established Nichols as a major director. The film also made a star out of young Hoffman, who gives an understated portrayal of the perplexed Ben--the actor's first role in a Hollywood film, which he almost didn't get because he wasn't Waspy enough. Outstanding performances by the rest of the cast are highlighted by Bancroft's sexy, embittered turn as Mrs. Robinson and Ross's endearing presence as the gorgeous yet innocent Elaine. The film's impact on popular culture is immeasurable: "Plastics" will live on eternally as depressing but solid career advice, and older women will never eye younger men without fear of becoming a "Mrs. Robinson." Buck Henry (who appears briefly in the film) cowrote the influential screenplay, based on the novel by Charles Webb, and the soundtrack by Simon and Garfunkel remains a movie classic.

UPDATE: The team took first place in one of the "senior group exhibit" categories.
Fatima Ghatala, a teacher at East Oakland School of the Arts (Castlemont), tells us about her AP United States history students' diligent preparation for tomorrow's National History Day competition. EOSA is the only school representing OUSD in the contest.
"Who would like to present their project at the county-wide National History Day competition on March 20th?" I asked. The group members excitedly looked at each other to confirm, and enthusiastically raised their hands to volunteer. The class had already spent weeks working on research topics, and this particular group of students were researching the United States-Mexico War. They were first inspired to learn more about the war because of the impact the current U.S.-Mexico border has on their communities.
Ms. Natalie Carrillo, 16, Ms. Evelyn Gameros, 17, Mr. Gerardo Martinez, 15, Mr. Ricardo Cruz, 16, and Mr. Roberto Mendoza, 17 — all AP United States History students at East Oakland School of the Arts (EOSA) — spent weeks researching, including talking to teachers in the community, visiting libraries and reading books, interviewing community organizers and activists, and canvassing internet archives. As historians, they explored primary and secondary sources and developed a thesis: The United States-Mexico War was the first in United States history in which the media was used to generate public support for war.
The five students will be presenting their research project at tomorrow's competition, where this year's theme of History Day is "Innovation: Impact and Change." EOSA has the only high school students representing the Oakland Unified School District.
I have been impressed by their dedication to the project from the first day I introduced it in class. They have embodied the roles of historians and researchers, as students and as of teachers, as they dived in, asked questions, taught each other, and taught the adults around them. As an EOSA teacher, I am privileged to be witness to the brightness and beauty my students present everyday, but oftentimes I feel youth — especially black and brown youth from Deep East Oakland — are overlooked, ignored, or cast off as unable, lacking, and unintelligent.
As this group of students interacted with adults, including professors, organizers, activists, and educators, I received emails applauding the amazing work by the students, each adult expressing how impressed they were with the students and their critical thinking skills.
Kathy Emery, PhD, Executive Director of the San Francisco Freedom School, was impressed with the research they conducted, and with the questions they continued to ask. Aryn Bowman, an administrator, educator and a part of the Principal Leadership Institute at UC Berkeley, wrote, "This group of students are amazing! I think that one of the most important opportunities we can provide for our students is to present them with meaningful, authentic learning experiences — not an easy task in a test-driven era. It has been a pleasure to watch our students dig into researching for their History Day project — constructing their own knowledge around important historical matter."
As a history teacher, I was elated to hear their conversations and their connections between the present and the past. "What happened in this war still affects us –- it made a really big change; the war created new borders — now Mexican people are dying trying to come into the territory that was once theirs…" shares Natalie Carrillo.
On behalf of East Oakland School of the Arts and our students, we cordially invite you to attend the Alameda County National History Day Competition occurring tomorrow, Saturday, March 20, 2010 from 12:00-3:30 p.m. at Oakland School of the Arts (OSA), located at 580 18th Street, Oakland, CA. For more information, visit this Web page.
East Oakland School of the Arts is located at 8601 MacArthur Blvd in East Oakland, California.

Following on rapidly from the release of the BlackBerry Q10, here comes the BlackBerry Q5. Running the new operating system (BlackBerry 10), the Q5 is aimed towards a younger market and for many this is the last major push for BlackBerry launch of BB10. The Z10 was aimed at the geekerati and the 'modern' smartphone crowd, the Q10 is aimed at the existing BlackBerry enthusiast looking for a high end device to help them in the business world, and the Q5 is the handset for the youth market.
Like the majority of mid-range Android devices, the specs of the Q5 will feel familiar to anyone watching the modern smartphone market – a 1.2 GHz dual core Snapdragon S4, 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage – although the specs are all very slightly down on the Q10 (which has a 1.5 GHz CPU and 16 GB of storage, but shares the 2 GB of RAM). And like the Q10, it also comes with a physical keyboard.
Let's start with the keyboard, because understanding the decisions behind this device start with the keyboard. The best thing I found about the Q10 was the keyboard. With individually sculpted keys – each had their own independent travel, with each side of the keyboard tilted to allow smooth 'two thumb' texting, and the silver bars that separated the horizontal rows helped guide your eyes to the keys.
It's noticeable that the dimensions of the Q5 and Q10 are almost identical, and the space taken up by the two keyboards are similar. I suspect that someone inside BlackBerry has decided that their had to be 'clear air' between the quality of the keyboards on the Q5 and the Q10 to ensure the executives buy the Q10 and the budget conscious buyers will be happy to choose the lower priced Q5.
The problem with that argument is that the Q5′s keyboard is missing all the good things that made the Q10′s keyboard a joy to use (and arguably moved the Q10 from the 'quirky' pile to the usable in real life' pile.
The Q5′s keys do light up, and they use the familiar Blackberry layout, but with a lower physical profile it's harder to hit the right key, and when you do not only do you need to ensure that you hit the key dead center for it to register, you'll also feel the surrounding keys move down very slightly, almost in sympathy. It doesn't impart any confidence in the keys – and let's not forget the majority of people will be using this keyboard for the duration of a two year contract. I'll be interested to see how well this stands up after 700 days of use.
At least the lower specs in the hardware are understandable. If you want to position a number of devices in a portfolio, the easiest way to do that is to have slower (and less expensive) chips inside the handset. The trick is to ensure that the lower specced chips do not have a significant impact on the performance of the handset compared to the top of the range devices. This is an area where Windows Phone is the clear winner with an almost universal experience across the price range, while it is a very noticeable factor on Android handsets.
BlackBerry is closer to the Android model, but not as drastic. The BB10 operating system isn't set up to transition or move between applications quickly, no matter how hast you can drive the touch based gesture that acts as a 'home' key, but putting the Q5 next to the Q10 and Z10 and the slower UI is noticeable.
The screen remains the 720×720 screen, but with slightly less vibrancy and brightness compared to the Q10. Viewing angles are very much set up for a single user experience, but I don't see the Q5 being used as a video playback unit – a 4:3 ratio video has to be reduced to fit in the square format, and don't even begin to consider how tiny a 2.35:1 picture ratio for something like Bladerunner would look.
The smaller screen does reduce the impact on the battery life which is useful, because the performance here is similar to the other BB10 smartphones. With gentle use it definitely gets through a 9 to 5 routine, but if you use the device in anger, with constant checking of messages, alerts, and internet access, you'll be looking for more power before the afternoon is out.

Sleiman inaugurated several projects and memorials in his hometown of Amsheet.
BEIRUT: President Michel Sleiman has said he will not back off from his firm stance on the case of explosives linked to former Minister Michel Samaha, who along with two senior Syrian officials has been charged with a terror plot to destabilize Lebanon.Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri lashed out at Lebanon's dissociation policy on the 18-month turmoil in Syria. He described it as "shameful," saying it exposed Lebanon to attacks by its neighboring country.
Sleiman said he had discussed the issue of explosives seized by Lebanese authorities during a meeting with Syrian Prime Minister Wael Nader al-Halqi and Foreign Minister Affairs Minister Walid al-Moallem in Tehran on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement summit held in Iran last month.
Sleiman expressed hope that there was no relation between Syrian government officials and the seized explosives.
Responding to critics who accused him of holding a behind-the-scene meeting with the two Syrian officials, Sleiman said at a ceremony in his hometown of Amsheet, north of Beirut, Saturday: "There was no secret meeting in Iran, and I am not accustomed to holding secret meetings. The meeting was held in public but there were no reporters in the hall at the time."
He added that it was the Syrian premier and foreign minister who approached him to shake hands.
"We discussed the situation. What I told them was the same as what I said on the first day the explosives were seized," Sleiman said.
Samaha, a close ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, was arrested last month and then later charged by the Military Tribunal with plotting terror attacks in Lebanon.
Samaha, Syrian National Security Bureau head Ali Mamlouk and a Syrian army officer identified as Brig. Gen. Adnan were also accused of planning to incite sectarian clashes through terrorist attacks with explosives that Samaha transported to Lebanon and stored after taking possession of them from Mamlouk and Adnan.
In the days following the discovery of the explosives, the president described reports of the possible terrorist plots in the country as frightening, but praised security agencies' work in foiling such plans.
In Saturday's speech, Sleiman said he thanked God that the explosives had been seized, saying he would not retract his praise of the Internal Security Forces for their efforts in uncovering the terror plot.
"I want to congratulate the Internal Security Forces and [Interior] Minister Marwan Charbel, who is the head of these forces, particularly for their seizure of these explosives which, had they exploded, could have resulted in the death of hundreds of victims in Lebanon," he said. "I will never retract this congratulation.
"I stress that we will not resort to accusations. This case is in the hands of the judiciary on which I call to do its job and judge with justice."
Meanwhile, Hariri said the Lebanese government's policy to dissociate Lebanon from the developments in Syria left the country exposed to attacks from the Assad regime.
"The official Lebanese [dissociation] stance regarding these issues is shameful and should not continue," Hariri said in an interview published Saturday in the pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hayat.
The leader of the Future Movement said that not having a stance on the developments in Syria, where fighting between government troops and armed rebel groups has claimed the lives of up to 26,000 since March 2011 according to opposition monitors, did not serve Lebanon's interest.
"Some say that self-distancing is in Lebanon's interest, but not having a position is not in the interest of protecting Lebanon," Hariri said.
"Protecting Lebanon is [achieved] by preventing the Syrian regime from interfering in Lebanese affairs and exposing Lebanese territories and citizens to military actions carried out by the Syrian forces in Akkar and the Bekaa," Hariri added.
He said the government's dissociation policy left Lebanon exposed to attacks by Syria. "The self-distancing policy allows the Syrian regime to shell Lebanese villages," Hariri said, referring to several incidents when Syrian forces have fired artillery across the border at villages they claim are harboring armed anti-regime groups.
Hariri praised Sleiman for his stance on Syria's repeated violations of the Lebanese border which he described as "advanced" compared to the government's "ambiguous positions."
Hariri, the head of the opposition March 14 coalition, said one means of responding to violations of Lebanon's sovereignty would be for Lebanon to bring the matter up with the Security Council, expel the Syrian ambassador to Lebanon and "protect our borders with all possible means, including the call for the deployment of international forces along the northern and eastern borders."
In a memo to Sleiman last week, the March 14 coalition called for the deployment of U.N. peacekeepers along the northern border with Syria in response to Damascus' repeated violations of Lebanon's sovereignty.
Hariri, one of Assad's staunchest critics in Lebanon, also told Al-Hayat that the fall of the Syrian regime would shed new light on the 2005 assassination of his father, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. "Look at what happened in Libya. Many things emerged after the fall of the regime, in terms of aircraft bombings like the Lockerbie case or the case of Imam Musa Sadr. These things were impossible to reach and now they are public."
Imam Musa Sadr, an influential figure in Lebanese politics and founder of the Amal movement, his companions Sheikh Mohammad Yaacoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine vanished during an official visit to Libya on Aug. 31, 1978.
Probes into the Sadr case were at a standstill under Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's reign, but have gained momentum following his fall.
Hariri said as in the case of Libya, "the fall of the Syrian regime will reveal who assassinated Rafik Hariri and what was the role of this murderous regime, which, we have always said, is linked somewhere to the assassination of Rafik Hariri, and this will be revealed."
Meanwhile, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea hit back at Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad for slamming the March 14 coalition's memo to Sleiman on Syria's violations of Lebanese territory.
At a news conference Friday, Raad said the March 14 memo was aimed covering up the opposition group's "involvement and participation in the aggression against Syria through money, arms and fighters."
"Raad's party is using the Palestine cause as a pretext and an excuse for every detail," Geagea said during a dialogue session on "Lebanon's role in the new Arab world renaissance" held at his residence in Maarab, north of Beirut, Friday night. He added that Palestine was "not a genuine issue for Hezbollah, except in specific times and depending on circumstances."

Dead men tell no tales… and screenwriters who quit their movie franchises don't write any tales either.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 has not come out yet, but Disney is already planning the sequels. That makes sense, because the movies have grossed an assload of booty at $2.68 billion worldwide. Development is starting on Pirates of the Caribbean 5, which will be filmed simultaneously with Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and maybe Pirates of the Caribbean 7: Curse of the Treasure of the Incredible Box Office Tallies! However, the series is losing one of the two writers who has been at the helm of every film since the beginning.
Disney made a deal with Pirates writer Terry Rossio (Shrek), but not his longtime collabo-writer Ted Elliott (also Shrek). We don't know yet why he decided to voluntarily walk the plank, but our guess is the novelty of watching Johnny Depp do a gay Keith Richards impression wears off after about… oh, I don't know, a decade. (TheWrap)
Consider posting a comment.
That should be "fewer writers."
There should be no writers and no movie. Quick, explain the plot of the third movie without using the word pirate.

I had such fun writing this Aunt Camp article for Savvy Auntie the other month and hoped it served to inspire other aunts to think about fun learning experiences they could create over the summer months. I was thrilled when I received the following email and photos from Jennifer, a very savvy auntie who has been running Auntie Camps and Retreats for her lucky nieces for years! Here she shares her story… where can I register!?
I wanted to respond to an article from Savvy Auntie that you posted a while back. I was just delighted to see you promoting Aunt Camps (or as my nieces and I call it "Auntie Camp". I have been doing Auntie Camps and now Auntie retreats for the past 3 years and before that sporadically and we are all huge fans!
It started when I was living/teaching overseas and I was looking for a way to spend some quality time with my nieces when I was home during the summer. So I sent my sister and her husband away for two nights and moved in to take care of my two nieces then about six and seven years old. I did simple things but made a big deal about it.
Going to the park, baking a cake, a simple craft and a simple science experiment (I am a high school science teacher so that one came naturally. 😉 ) My nieces LOVED it. Since then they've been begging to send their parents away every summer so we can have Auntie Camp.
I now live near Washington D.C. and they came to my place for a few days. They are 10 and 12 now and it just keeps getting better. I try to tailor activities to their interests or educate them about it so they are interested! This past year we went to the Kennedy Center and the zoo, painted pottery, did cake decorating, saw free concerts on the Capitol steps, traveled the world through Thai food, and other exciting things. The best part is my relationship with them is deepening and as they head into the teen years – I'm so thankful I can be a positive voice in their lives.
I realize it's not possible for everyone, but even starting with an overnighter is a blast, minimal planning and tons of fun. It's also a HUGE blessing to my sister and her husband who are thankful for a break and at peace that their kids are well cared for and not homesick.
I've attached a couple of pictures from over the years and my niece's edition of her biweekly newspaper that she writes. This one was about Auntie Camp.
I have tons of ideas including easy science experiments, craft ideas, even how to schedule things. It does take some effort but it is definitely worth it.

Update: While the WSJ is certainly trying to drive a wedge between the NYT and its readers and advertisers, it looks like the Dow Jones-owned paper's low-cost subscriptions have been around a while, says media watchdog CJR. Also, it's worth pointing out the NYT is not averse to introductory subscriber discounts as well, even before the announcement of the WSJ's push into local markets like New York and San Francisco.
Original post: It's just a matter a matter of days until the WSJ unveils its special New York edition, and to make sure it attracts attention, the paper is cutting its subscription price significantly. The target of this first shot in an attempted newspaper price war is, naturally, the NYT. According to Reuters, the WSJ has been soliciting NYT New York metro subscribers with a home delivery price of $10 per month — a considerable discount compared to the NYT's $40 per monthly subscription charge.
Those who subscribe to the WSJ's New York print edition online can get the paper for the slightly lower price of $2.29 per week. Not surprisingly, given News Corp (NYSE: NWS). CEO and chairman Rupert Murdoch's ardor for online paywalls, that $2.29 price does not include a WSJ.com subscription. Existing print subs can get online access for $30, while online-only subs are charged $1.99 per week, according to the WSJ's site.
The print price cut comes as the WSJ has also tried to pry major retailers' ad dollars away from the NYT with discounted rates as well. So far, the NYT, hasn't indicated that it will engage its rival in a lowering prices to advertisers and consumers. But with circulation dollars viewed as an important part of its revenue stream, the NYT will only be under even more pressure to hold its ground on rates. But if the WSJ does get large numbers of its readers to switch, the NYT will have little choice but to follow its rival's terms.

One more goal
Luke Donald has proved he is the world's best player, says Rob Lee, and a major triumph is within his grasp.
Last Updated: 14/12/11 12:28pm
I'd always thought it was impossible to top the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic.
Tiger Woods did it unofficially several times when he was at his peak (he was excluded from the European list because he wasn't a Tour member) but him aside, I'd pretty much figured nobody else would be able to do it.
You have to play more than 15 events in the States and 13 in Europe to qualify and there is a huge amount of travelling involved. There are events such as the WGCs and majors which count on both sides, but there are still a lot of other tournaments to squeeze in.
Logistically it's tough and you have to schedule extremely well, but then you have to perform very well in pretty much all the tournaments because you're only playing a limited number on each tour. The fact that Luke Donald was able to pull it off shows just how well he has played week in, week out.
How has he managed it? Looking at his game, there are no aspects that you would describe as an Achilles' heel. On some days he's not great with the driver and he's not particularly long, but he always manages to put the ball in play. He's not always down the middle, but he rarely smashes it all over the place.
His iron play and his short game are very good, so you get repetition and lots of birdie chances. Then from 100 yards in he is simply phenomenal. He was second overall in the European Tour's putting stats for 2011 and top in the category between five and 10 feet - and that exceptional ability on the greens has been evident for two or three years now.
A good short game is crucial in professional golf, but it's not everything - and is fairly useless if you spray the ball everywhere. Look at Phil Mickelson, who is widely regarded as having the best short game around. He's never been world number one because he doesn't keep it in play enough.
Seve Ballesteros never lost his putting touch or his short game, but packed the game in because he couldn't keep the ball on the course. Brad Faxon was probably the best putter the PGA Tour ever had, but basically disappeared because he couldn't keep it on the track.
A good short game is important, but in itself it is not enough - and it's Donald's range of strengths that has taken him to the top.
Big cheques
I first recall watching Donald in the Walker Cup many years ago and as a talented college player he was highly rated when he turned professional.
He won the Southern Farm Bureau Classic in 2002, but for many years his win rate on the PGA Tour was very poor. He'd often end the year with big cheques but wouldn't seem fussed with winning tournaments.
That all seemed to change this year.
He has won events on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011, but I think the key success was winning the BMW PGA Championship after a fascinating duel with Lee Westwood. He knew that only a victory could take him above his rival to the top of the world rankings and he pulled off a wonderful Wentworth win.
He became world number one because of his consistency and since then he has emboldened his position. His ability to be in contention every time he goes out has been incredible.
At the end of the year we saw a tremendous battle between him and Webb Simpson to top the American money list and, in the end, he needed to win the last event, the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, to do it. After an uninspiring front nine, he produced six birdies in a row to take the title and top the money list.
He proved too good for everyone else in Europe as well and, apart from a major championship, I don't really see how his year could have been any better.
The goal now will be to win that major, but remember, there are plenty of major champions who are nowhere near the player that he is. Would you say Todd Hamilton or Ben Curtis or Shaun Micheel or Mark Brooks are in the same class as Donald? Those guys aren't close.
But rather like Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia, the victories, the world number one spots and the consistency all seem a bit bereft without at least one major on your CV. Those guys will always be thought of as wonderful players, but if they could win a major or two it would validate what they've done.
There's no reason why Donald can't do it because he can get himself into contention on any course on any given week.
He's not a big hitter - and there are some courses where it helps if you can hit it for miles - but we've seen guys like Mike Weir and Zach Johnson win at Augusta, so there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to. After what he's shown this year, winning events when he really had to, I would back him to win a major.
The world number one should be the best player in the world - and that is what Luke Donald has been in 2011.
Rob's Sky Bet Tips
Luke has gone to Australia to play in the J B Were Australian Masters, but I wonder how emotionally charged he will be. He can let the air out of his tyres because he's world number one and has topped both money lists and I don't think he'll be too bothered if he wins or comes last this week. There's not as much riding on it, so it would be understandable, given the season he's had, if he's not that up for it in the week before Christmas. He'll be professional and will give it his best but that extra inspiration may not be there for him this week.
So instead, I'm going to go for Ian Poulter, who must be due a good week. He hasn't been holing his putts lately, but I rate him as a putter and if that warms up, which it might on the Australian greens, he could do well. He's decent value at 12/1 with Sky Bet.
As for the Thailand Golf Championship, I'm going for 8/1 shot Charl Schwartzel, who isn't averse to winning at this time of year. He showed some good signs last week and I suspect he will do well.

Sell an old mobile for the Dell Streak
27 May 2010 — 3:55 PM
Selling an old mobile phone may be an option worth considering for people looking to get their hands on a new device being offered by O2.
Consumers will be able to get the Dell Streak - featuring a five-megapixel camera, high-speed processor and built in Wi-Fi - exclusively on the mobile phone network from next month.
It promises to bring the internet, entertainment, simple turn-by-turn navigation and thousands of Android Market apps to the palm of customers' hands and might be ideal for those looking to do more on the move.
"The Dell Streak hits the sweet spot between traditional smartphones and larger-screen tablets. Its unique size provides people new ways to enjoy, connect and navigate their lives," said Ron Garriques, president for the Dell Communication Solutions Group.
Steve Alder, O2's general manager of devices, added the handset is a "bold new class of product" and something the network was keen to offer to customers first.
An alternative could be the Palm Pre Plus, which has recently been launched.

Common Cause reviews who's enforcing "No Match, No Vote"
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
As we reported last night, an attorney for the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections Ron Labasky, has issued a memo to all state supervisors regarding the controversial âNo Match, No Vote" law. He said they could accept identification at the polls without requiring voters to make an additional trip to the elections office.
Secretary of State Kurt Browning began enforcing the law on Sept. 8, and since that time, the law has flagged 8,867 voter registrations, according to the Florida Department of State, which oversees elections. Thatâs about 2.2 percent of the estimated 400,0000 people who have registered since the law took effect.
The issue became complicated for Browning after Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark said she she would give applicants with problems a chance to verify their identification at polling places.
Ben Wilcox is with the group Common Cause. He told WMNF that heâs been monitoring how the 67 Supervisors of Election are handling the issue.comments powered by Disqus
