Impact100 Sonoma will fund capital expenditures for an Impact Grant that is directly related to the proposed project or program, but it may not exceed 25% of the project budget requested. Funds must be used as indicated in the project budget as specified in the proposal submitted and are not transferrable to salaries and other operating expenses.
Impact Grant – A Fiscal Agent may not be used by a nonprofit when applying for an Impact Grant unless the proposed project is a Collaborative Project*** involving two or more nonprofits.
Community Grants – A nonprofit with a Fiscal Agent relationship agreement with another nonprofit applying for a Community Grant, is eligible to apply for a separate grant for their organization within the same grant cycle.
* Clarification of Faith-based policy:
No individual grants will be made to faith-based organizations. However, a faith-based organization may be part of a collaborative grant application, provided that a non-faith-based organization that is a 501 (c) 3 is the lead applicant, that the faith-based organization is not the fiscal agent, that no inherently religious activities are performed, that the proposed project is in alignment with Impact100 Sonoma's funding priorities, and that the proposed project services will benefit Sonoma Valley residents without regard to their religious affiliation or lack of religious affiliation.
** Definition of Fiscal Agent and Associated Guidelines:
An organization that has an established 501(c)(3) status and is willing to manage the grant funds, passing them through to the 501(c)(3) organization (principal) that will carry out the project. Fiscal Agent enters an agreement to accept donations on behalf of a tax-exempt organization that does not meet the financial criteria Impact100 Sonoma has set for receiving a grant, and/or doesn't have the infrastructure to manage funds and provide the required record- keeping.
The Fiscal Agent in the fiscal agency relationship acts on behalf of the principal — the 501(c)(3) organization that receives the pass- through grant — and has financial control over the donation, but does not have management control over the project the funds are intended to support. The Fiscal Agent acts as the pass-through organization to allow another organization to receive the donation. The principal has an obligation to provide information to the Fiscal Agent so that proper reporting may be made to Impact100 Sonoma. No fees shall be paid to a Fiscal Agent with the grant funds received from Impact100 Sonoma.
*** Definition of A Collaborative Project:
A group of nonprofit organizations applying collectively in a collaborative effort where each organization will have the responsibility of managing and contributing to the proposed project in a significant manner. In such a case, one participating nonprofit would need to be identified as the Fiscal Agent, and it would be responsible for the financial management of Impact100 Sonoma grant funds.

Education Minister Mutula Kilonzo has said his ministry has received funding for this year's first term of free day secondary education. The Education minister said the Ministry has received Sh9, 872,285,454 from Treasury which constitutes 50 per cent of the entire total allocation of the programme for this year which will provide Sh 10, 265 for each child.
The funds are expected to benefit a total of 1,923,089 learners in 6, 654 public secondary schools across the country.
"As you are aware, Chapter 4 Article 53(b) of the Constitution now obligates the state to provide free and compulsory education. This is in line with the Free Primary and Free Day Secondary Education Programmes that the Government introduced in 2003 and 2008 respectively, is a step towards partly fulfilling this Constitutional obligation. The subsidy is meant to ease the burden parents bear in providing education to their children." Kilonzo said.
The Education minister warned schools against levying fees on parents without any regard for the guidelines stipulated by the ministry as this will be in violation of the Basic Education Act 2012. He advised School Boards of Management to adhere to the law.
Kilonzo said his ministry is financing other educational programmes. Aside from the free day secondary education, the ministry has disbursed a total of Sh49.93 million to support needy public schools in "pockets of poverty." A total of 156 are expected to receive Sh320,064 each.
The ministry has also received Sh30 million which will go towards two needy schools in Arid and Semi-Arid regions. The Education Minister has asked parents and communities to report any cases of misuse of funds

The expansion of Anfield's Main Stand is underway
Work on the redevelopment of Anfield has continued at pace since the end of the season and our exclusive time-lapse footage captures the speed of the construction and the assembly of the first piece of the Main Stand's new truss.
The design will ensure that the unrivalled atmosphere and spirit of Anfield is retained, whilst taking the full stadium capacity to 54,000.
The Main Stand will become one of the largest all-seater single stands in Europe. Visible from several points in the city, it will feature the iconic club crest and will add another impressive landmark to the world renowned Liverpool skyline.
Thanks to a specially-positioned camera on the construction site, supporters can take a closer look at the progress during recent weeks

Daily Deals sites are all the range in North America. These sites drive an enormous amount of walk-in traffic to offline stores by offering huge discounts (typically 50%) to online users who redeem these discounts at the store. A few local entrepreneurs have ventured down this road before with very little success, however in BlastJa there seems to be someone who is finally doing it right.
Blast is a local deals website run by Lauren McClure and Alex Morrissey (of JamaicansMusic fame). For one, they have already enlisted a good compliment of vendors, from Usain Bolt's Tracks & Records to RIPT Gym. Second, they are requiring a minimum number of people for deals to become active and this is exactly how Groupon made it's name. Because getting vendors is so important, it is also important to be known and seen. To this end Blast has done a very good job so far. They had a article about Blast in the Business Observer and they followed that up with a full fledged launch at Track's & Records complete with demonstrations of how Blast will work. The launch was packed with business people and consumers alike.

Chris Brown's Tattoo Is Not Of A "Battered Rihanna"
I'm a blogger, so I would be lying if I said I didn't know how to spin a story for more views. BUT, I don't understand this hatred or need to take down Chris Brown by all means necessary. To the people in real media: Writing about Chris Brown getting a tattoo of Rihanna's battered face on his neck is just beyond foul. I understand not liking Breezy for his actions against Rihanna, but I don't understand making up new reasons to continue hating him. If you don't like him, don't buy his music, but please stop with the take-down pieces that has nothing to do with reality.

WTH! Mom Potty Trains Twins In Public At Restaurant Table…
Just when you think you've seen it all…Here I am again, this time writing about a mother who thought it was a good idea to potty train her kids in public. I don't mean she took the kids to the potty in a public place, I mean she took the potty inside a public place. Still doesn't sound so bad until you see the picture below, and realize this woman pulled out the potty– in the middle of the restaurant– at the table so that her kids (not one but two) can poop and pee while eating at the table…with other people in the restaurant. The last thing any person eating in a restaurant wants to think about is two girls and cup.
*SHOUTS* It's a restaurant!!! That mom is probably over-stressed and at her breaking point. Cause that's just not sane.

Nicki Minaj Finally Speaks About Romney Rap Lyric
Accountability. Something that gets lost in the fray, at times. This is a lesson we should all learn, especially those of us in influential positions. Nicki Minaj had to learn that the hard way, after appearing on the Mercy (Freestlye) remix on Lil Wayne's mix tape. The lyric in question went like this:
"I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney / You lazy b—-es is f—ing up the economy."
Yeah. After that, there was an anti-Nicki Twitter movement with people boycotting her and her music because of her "admitted" Republican stand point. President Obama admitted he didn't understand if Nicki was using one of alters or not, but he did throw a little shade when he said, Sasha and Malia don't listen to Nicki Minaj that much…After President Obama's comments, Nicki spoke out on Twitter directly to President Obama to address the lyrics herself:Read More
Usher, Too Soon…Too Soon…To Release Blended Family Pics
I know Usher has been with Grace Miguel for a minute, well actually since he's been married to, well actually while he was still married to Tameka Raymond. I understand the need to move on, and finally get your life back on track, after all it's been two years. BUT family pictures with the "mistress" (let's call that thing a thing *in my Iyanla voice*)…I mean the "other woman", just after a custody win…too soon. Almost looks as if Usher is not only insensitive, but gloating. Again, that may not be the case, but too soon, Usher, too soon.

9/11: We Remember; We Rebuild…

Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. -President Ronald Reagan
On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress, that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future. -President Barack Obama

The disruptions following Euro-American trade and settlement first led to a flowering and then to a decline in the cultures and totem pole carving. The widespread importation of Euro-American and Chinese iron and steel tools led to much more rapid and accurate production of carved wooden goods, including poles. It is not certain whether iron tools were actually introduced by Europeans, or whether iron tools were already produced aboriginally from drift iron recovered from shipwrecks; nevertheless the presence of European trading vessels and exploration ships simplified the acquisition of iron tools whose use greatly enhanced totem pole construction. The marine fur trade gave rise to a tremendous accumulation of wealth among the coastal peoples, and much of this wealth was spent and distributed in lavish potlatches frequently associated with the construction and erection of totem poles. Poles were commissioned by many wealthy leaders to represent their social status and the importance of their families and clans. As the fur trade declined the incidence of poverty on the coast increased. Christian missionaries reviled the totem pole as an object of heathen worship and urged converts to cease production and destroy existing poles.
Totem pole construction underwent a dramatic decline at the end of the 19th century due to American and Canadian urges towards Euro-American acculturation and assimilation. Fortunately, in the mid-twentieth century a combination of cultural, linguistic, and artistic revival along with intense scholarly scrutiny and the continuing fascination and support of an educated and empathetic public led to a renewal and extension of this moribund artistic tradition. Freshly-carved totem poles are being erected up and down the coast. Related artistic production is pouring forth in many new and traditional media, ranging from tourist trinkets to masterful works in wood, stone, blown and etched glass, and many other traditional and non-traditional media.
Today a number of successful native artists carve totem poles on commission, usually taking the opportunity to educate apprentices in the demanding art of traditional carving and its concomitant joinery. Such modern poles are almost always executed in traditional styles, although some artists have felt free to include modern subject matter or use nontraditional styles in their execution. The commission for a modern pole ranges in the tens of thousands of dollars; the time spent carving after initial designs are completed usually lasts about a year, so the commission essentially functions as the artist's primary means of income during the period.
The meanings of the designs on totem poles are as varied as the cultures which make them. Totem poles may recount familiar legends, clan lineages, or notable events. Some poles are erected to celebrate cultural beliefs, but others are intended mostly as artistic presentations. Certain types of totem poles are part of mortuary structures incorporating grave boxes with carved supporting poles, or recessed backs in which grave boxes were placed. Poles are also carved to illustrate stories, to commemorate historic persons, to represent shamanic powers, and to provide objects of public ridicule. "Some of the figures on the poles constitute symbolic reminders of quarrels, murders, debts, and other unpleasant occurrences about which the Indians prefer to remain silent... The most widely known tales, like those of the exploits of Raven and of Kats who married the bear woman, are familiar to almost every native of the area. Carvings which symbolize these tales are sufficiently conventionalized to be readily recognizable even by persons whose lineage did not recount them as their own legendary history." (Reed 2003). Housefront poles were meant to show the success of the families.
Totem poles were never objects of worship. The association with "idol worship" was an idea from local Christian missionaries, who would have seen their association with Shamanism as being an occult practise. The same assumption was made by very early European explorers, but later explorers such as Jean-François de La Pérouse noted that totem poles were never treated reverently; they seemed only occasionally to generate allusions or illustrate stories and were usually left to rot in place when people abandoned a village.
Vertical order of images is widely believed to be a significant representation of importance. This idea is so pervasive that it has entered into common parlance with the phrase "low man on the totem pole". This phrase is indicative of the most common belief of ordering importance, that the higher figures on the pole are more important or prestigious. A counterargument frequently heard is that figures are arranged in a "reverse hierarchy" style, with the most important representations being on the bottom, and the least important being on top. Actually there have never been any restrictions on vertical order, many poles have significant figures on the top, others on the bottom, and some in the middle. Other poles have no vertical arrangement at all, consisting of a lone figure atop an undecorated column.
Poles used for public ridicule are usually called "shame poles", and were erected to shame individuals or groups for unpaid debts. Shame poles are today rarely discussed, and their meanings have in many places been forgotten. However, they formed an important subset of poles carved throughout the 19th century.
One famous shame pole is the Lincoln Pole in Saxman, Alaska; it was apparently created to shame the U.S. government into repaying the Tlingit people for the value of slaves which were freed after the Emancipation Proclamation. Other explanations for it have arisen as the original reason was forgotten or suppressed, however this meaning is still clearly recounted by a number of Tlingit elders today.
Another example of the shame pole is the Three Frogs Pole in Wrangell, Alaska. This pole was erected by Chief Shakes to shame the Kiks.ádi clan into repaying a debt incurred by three of their slaves who impregnated some young women in Shakes's clan. When the Kiks.ádi leaders refused to pay support for the illegitimate children Shakes had the pole commissioned to represent the three slaves as frogs, the frog being the primary crest of the Kiks.ádi clan. This debt was never repaid, and thus the pole still stands next to the Chief Shakes Tribal House in Wrangell. This particular pole's unique crossbar shape has become popularly associated with the town of Wrangell. It was thus used, without recognizing the meaning of the pole, as part of the title design of the Wrangell Sentinel newspaper, where it is still seen today.
The construction of shame poles has essentially ceased within the last century. This is attributable to a decline in interclan rivalries and clan relationships in general, and to a desire for solidarity among most native tribes. However, as feelings of independence and nationalism increase among Northwest coast people, erecting shame poles against the American and Canadian governments has been occasionally proposed, though usually in a facetious manner. If outrage against some political decision is strong enough among the people of a particular Northwest coast tribe the erection of a new shame pole may again become a possibility, although the cost of construction will likely be a major inhibition.
A shame pole was erected in Cordova, Alaska on March 24, 2007. It includes the inverted and distorted face of Exxon ex-CEO Lee Raymond. representing the unpaid debt that courts determined Exxon owes for having caused the oil spill in Valdez, Alaska. See the Anchorage Daily News article on the pole's unveiling
Totem poles are typically not well maintained after their erection. Traditionally once the wood rots so badly that it begins to lean and pose a threat to passersby, the pole is either destroyed or pushed over and removed. Older poles typically fall over during the winter storms that batter the coast. A totem pole rarely lasts over 100 years. A collapsed pole may be replaced by a new one carved more or less the same as the original, with the same subject matter, but this requires a new payment and potlatch and is thus not always done. The beliefs behind the lack of maintenance vary among individuals, but generally it is believed that the deterioration of the pole is representative of natural processes of decay and death that occur with all living things, and attempts to prevent this are seen as somehow denying or ignoring the nature of the world.
This has not, however, prevented many people from occasionally renewing the paint on poles or performing further restorations, mostly because the expense of a new pole is beyond feasibility for the owner. Also, owners of poles who are not familiar with cultural traditions may see upkeep as a necessary investment for property, and ignore the philosophical implications.
Each culture typically has complex rules and customs regarding the designs which are represented on poles. The designs themselves are generally considered the property of a particular clan or family group, and this ownership may not be transferred to the owner of a pole (See also Heraldry). As such, pictures, paintings, and other copies of the designs may be an infringement of posessory rights of a certain family or cultural group. Thus it is important that the ownership of the artistic designs represented on a pole are respected as private property to the same extent that the pole itself is property. Public display and sale of pictures and other representations of totem pole designs should be cleared with both the owners of the pole and the cultural group or tribal government associated with the designs on the pole.
However totem poles in general are not the exclusive cultural property of a single culture, so the designs are not easily protected. The appropriation by art and tourist trinket worlds of Northwest Coast American culture has resulted in, among other things, an inundation of cheap imitations of totem poles executed with little or no knowledge of the complex stylistic conventions demanded by Northwest Coast art. These include imitation styles made by other First Nations and Native American peoples in the various parts of Canada and the American Southwest. This proliferation of "totem junk" has diluted the public interest and respect for the artistic skill and deep cultural knowledge required to produce a pole.
In the early 1990s, the Haisla First Nation of the Pacific Northwest began a lengthy struggle to repatriate a sacred totem from Sweden's Museum of Ethnography Their successful efforts were documented in an NFB documentary by Gil Cardinal, style="font-style : italic;">Totem: The Return of the G'psgolox Pole
There are disputes over which is genuinely the tallest, depending on constraints such as construction from a single log or the affiliation of the carver. Competition for making the tallest pole is still prevalent, although it is becoming more difficult to procure trees of such heights.
The thickest totem pole ever carved to date is in Duncan, British Columbia, carved by Richard Hunt in 1988, and measures over 6 ft (1.8 m) in diameter. It is carved in the Kwakwaka'wakw style, and represents Cedar Man transforming into his human form.
Standing a total of 173 feet tall, the world's tallest totem pole is comprised of two pieces of 168 and 5 feet. This one is in Alert Bay, British Columbia.
McKinleyville, California—World´s Tallest Totem Pole weighs 57,000 pounds, the base weighs 214,000 pounds and the pole stands 160 feet high. It was carved from a 500-year old redwood tree from Pacific Lumber Company. It is located in the parking lot to the left and slightly behind Safeway on Central Avenue not far from the Arcata-Eureka Airport (in McKinleyville). Built out of the largest tree ever hauled across a California highway, the totem pole was carved to commemorate the grand opening of the Mckinleyville Shopping Center. Designed in 1962 by Ernest Pierson of Pierson's Building Center in Eureka, he and a friend carved the monster tree in the parking lot of the center. Pierson called his totem a potlatch or celebration pole to celebrate the opening of the McKinleyville Shopping Center.
Poles have been exported to be displayed out of their original context. In Britain, at the side of Virginia Water Lake, in the south of Windsor Great Park there is a 100 foot high Canadian totem pole given to Queen Elizabeth II, commemorating the centenary of British Columbia.

Award show season is always entertaining. I love seeing these beautiful and talented women debut their gowns, shoes, hair and makeup. Side note: Every red carpet should have a mani-cam like the one E! used at the 2012 Emmy Awards, which was inspired by Zooey Deschanel.
Getting back to the point. Most of the attention is typically on the women but I think the men need a little more loving. Last night at the Critics' Choice Awards, Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper were looking sharp and I can't help but love their scruffy look! I definitely won't get tired of seeing these two walking the red carpet at upcoming award shows.
I saw this adorable GIF on BuzzFeed of Ben Affleck's surprised reaction to winning Best Director for his amazing movie Argo, which also won Best Picture.
Anne Hathaway rocked her pixie cut with a sparkly gown. She won Best Supporting Actress for Les Misérables. Jennifer Lawrence is proving to be a threat to her fellow nominees. Taking home awards for Best Actress in a Comedy (Silver Linings Playbook) and Action Movie (The Hunger Games), along with a couple others. Emmy Rossum looked absolutely radiant. She can do no wrong in my book!
I kind of wished Emily Blunt's dress was floor length instead of stopping at her ankles, but she looked pretty nonetheless. I'm hoping to see more out of Amy Adams at the Oscars, where she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Many were not too keen on Amanda Seyfried's choice of outfit. I happen to love the color and thought her hair and makeup looked pretty.
What did you think of last night's fashion choices?

A school whose 22 out of 23 candidates had the English results cancelled over irregularities was to be shut down last year over poor standards, the Star has learnt.
Area education officials were yesterday holed up in a meeting to determine the fate of the Ningawa Primary School, which is in Kijete, Kwale county.
The school has dilapidated buildings, leaking toilets and therefore unhygienic. These conditions do not provide a favourable learning environment.
According to some of the education officials interviewed, the school received a letter from the health department, asking it to close down. It was not shut. Health official Edward Achani said his office had issued the letter mid-last year.
The zonal advisor Suleiman Mwalonya said the school's infrastructure is poor. The school, which opened its doors in 1997, does not have desks and pupils learn on the dusty floor.
It is a few kilometres from Ng'ombeni where MRC chairman Omar Mwamnwadzi lives. However, the headteacher of the school, Ms Tamasha Nyawa, was non committal over the issue, and instead focused on finding out the fate of the students affected by the English paper that was cancelled.
"For now, the most important thing is about the results, I am trying to follow it up and find out exactly what happened," she said. The school was among the lowest ranked in the district.
Meanwhile, Lamu East, Tana River, Kwale, Mwatate, Lamu West, Kaloleni, Kilifi, Taita, Voi districts were ranked among the bottom 50 schools.
The bottom schools in Kwale county were listed as Funzi, Vanga, Mwache, Majoreni, which had mean scores ranging from a mean score of 145 and below. The top were Tumaini Academy and Kwale Methodist School.

December Dow Jones still bullish
December Dow Jones
–Dow Jones futures traded on both sides of unchanged and closed steady. There doesn't seem to be enough momentum to push the market either way, so it remains in trading limbo. While the trend is still bullish, the market is moving to the right of the centerline trend indicator, suggesting the market is losing momentum. The Dow Jones futures reached a new high on Monday's projected reversal swing before losing most of the daily gains at the close, but it is Tuesday's "trail day†that could give the real clue as to the next move in store for the Dow Jones futures. At the time I'm writing this commentary, the indicator is neutral to bullish. I'll wait another day for a confirming pattern before taking any position.
No trackbacks yet.

Although teachers are still working without contracts, the Sag Harbor school district has managed to triple the worldwide average for certain college-based courses for its school students.
At the Sag Harbor school board meeting Monday night, Pierson High School Principal Jeff Nichols gave a PowerPoint presentation to the board, community members and faculty on how the students in the high school compare with those in surrounding districts and other high schools with similar curriculums worldwide.
Currently, Pierson offers a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses for students in subjects such as world history, English, chemistry, calculus, art and so on. Nichols compared recent test results to those collected from previous years. In 2005, according to the data, there were 48 students enrolled in at least one AP course at Pierson and in 2008 there were 79 students. Nichols said that there was a 16 percent achievement rate for AP courses in 2002, but that results from 2007-08 show that there was a 74 percent achievement rate, even though the amount of students enrolled in AP courses has increased dramatically.
Nichols' presentation also showed a comparison of the average exam results in AP classes in Sag Harbor and how they compared to other schools worldwide.
"We are doing very well against the global mean," Nichols said on Monday.
The information presented was taken from the College Board and the results show that Sag Harbor doubles the physics and biology worldwide average and nearly triples the worldwide average for English literature and composition.
Nichols' presentation also showed a comparison to local districts such as Bridgehampton, Southampton, Westhampton, Greenport, Mattituck and Eastport among others. Pierson typically scored higher in most state regents mandated exams such as English and math for eighth graders. Sag Harbor Regents test results showed Sag Harbor leading in five out of seven courses.
"Regents are tests mandated by the state and AP is not mandated," Nichols told the crowd on Monday. "But the AP courses are the courses that help prepare for higher education and I see it as a necessity."
Extracurricular Trips
After Nichols' presentation, superintendent Dr. John Gratto explained that he and Nichols have worked on a revision of a new policy which outlines restrictions and allowances for extracurricular trips.
The new policy requires an outline for trips, those that will be curriculum-based and those not particularly tied to a curriculum. The new policy indicates students would not be allowed to miss more than two school days.
Board president Walter Wilcoxen said there is great concern for the quality of the education for the children that are left behind. He said they are trying to do a better job of finding a substitute or design activities relative to the subject for the children that remain in school.
Board member Sue Kinsella said on Monday that she is not in favor of taking the teachers out of the classroom for more than two days at a time and said that extensive field trips should be taken during vacation time.
Resident Elena Loreto, who also spoke at Monday's meeting, said that she believes the only real impact a teacher has on a student is during traditional classroom instructional time. Loreto also expressed concern for those students that would be left behind.
This was the first reading of the policy, there will be a second reading and a chance for more input at the next meeting.
More Cost-Saving Measures
On Monday night, Gratto talked about additional plans that the district is investigating to try to save more money. Gratto said that there could be a mid-year state aid reduction, and that he and business manager Len Bernard are working diligently to try to come up with creative ways to cut costs. At the moment, Gratto said there are 16 ideas in the works for ways to try to reduce costs, including the South Shore Purchasing Consortium, a reduction in special education contracts and a freeze in the budget on some supplies. The district is now adding to that list an analysis of a different dental insurance company and requesting that computers are turned off when not in use, which Gratto said has shown a tremendous reduction in energy use in other municipalities. The district is also looking at a Medicaid reimbursement for services.
"We are in for a difficult year this year and possibly next year," Gratto said.
Wilcoxen said, according to a publicized report from New York Governor David Paterson, the state has a two billion dollar deficit in education.
"I believe there will be no state money coming our way in the foreseeable future," he said.
In response to the possible aid reduction, the school is considering buying a school bus and shuttle for field trips and trips for daily sporting activities. Bernard explained that the current bus company charges $85 per hour for a minimum of three hours.
"We had a field trip to Shelter Island, it cost three hours to bring the kids to the ferry and three hours to pick the kids up," Bernard said. If the school had its own bus, the district could easily save money on trips such as this, according to Bernard.
Bernard said that the school might be able to examine shared services with Southampton or East Hampton and ask if those districts could pick up additional students. At the moment, Bernard said the district pays $22,000 to pick up Stella Maris students.

Expanding Your PPC Beyond AdWords
Every now and then a company will come to me wanting to start doing some PPC for their business. Most of these businesses are small and usually relatively new, thus they have limited budget and are targeting smaller niche areas in their target market. The obvious starting point is Google AdWords. Google has nearly 70% of the search market, an advanced platform, a robust off-line editing tool, and a large online community (I highly recommend #ppcchat on Twitter).
While AdWords may be a great place to start, I often see companies get tunnel vision and focus only on optimizing their AdWords account. Here we'll talk about how to expand your PPC efforts beyond AdWords.
Step 1: Get Friendly with Bing
You've doubtless heard of Bing (due to their millions of dollars in advertising), but you probably haven't ever used the search engine consistently. However, Bing has quite a few things going for it:
- Access 30% more search volume - If you're running into diminishing returns on your additional AdWords spend, getting access to 30% more virgin searches is a gold mine.
- Easy import from AdWords - If you're running campaigns on AdWords, you can easily import them into Bing via their offline editor or directly in the interface. It's easy and virtually seamless.
- Customer support is very eager - They respond quickly to inquiries and will do whatever they can to help you get going.
- 51 million unique search users - That's the number of US search users that you can only reach through BingAds (the combined Yahoo/Bing network). Here's an image to let that sink in a little.
Step 2: Think Social
You want your ads to be where potential customers can see them. And where are these potential customers when they're online? Chances are good they're on social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. So why not reach out to them?
- Facebook - You can get more than just likes here. Facebook just introduced their Partner Categories targeting and it is powerful. Want a few examples? You can target by Home Market Value, the brand of car they're likely to buy next, how often they travel, where they travel, what they buy, etc. You can see a full guide to Partner Categories here.
- LinkedIn - This is the Facebook for professionals and job seekers. Target by job title, seniority, skills, age, etc. The benefit here is that you're reaching people when they're thinking of their professional development and their business. They're not posting pictures of their cat or meal.
These are just a couple examples, but there are numerous opportunities out there for even the most B2B company to advertise on social networks. You just need to know the audience you're trying to reach and then leverage the targeting options of each network to reach those people where they're hanging out online.
Where else would you recommend for expanding your PPC beyond AdWords?
Robert Brady is the head PPC wizard at Righteous Marketing, a Google AdWords Certified Partner and Microsoft adExcellence Member. He manages PPC accounts for both small and large businesses and offers a PPC training program for the DIYer.
2 Responses to "Expanding Your PPC Beyond AdWords"
My experience with BING was a BUST.
I ran my best performing google adwords ad for 7 business days using the same keywords & landing page. Results: significantly lower click thru rate, my bounce rate was 78%!
TIP: if you run a BING campaign budget test it and measure it. I spent $250.
I must say that the BING staff are very responsive with email/phone help.
You hit the nail on the head – always test. Test different channels, different ads, different keywords, etc.

Mad-cap Ssangyong Drill Goes On in S. Korea
| Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialist aggression forces and their followers are staging Ssangyong landing operational drill in real earnest as part of the largest-ever Foal Eagle joint military exercises, according to the south Korean internet paper Thongil News on March 31.
Involved in the drill that started on March 27 are more than 7,500 marines of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces, over 2,000 south Korean puppet marines and over 130 Australian soldiers, over 12,500 in all.
On March 31 the warmongers staged a naval drill under the simulated conditions of mounting an attack on a coast of the north with naval and air forces including landing craft, destroyers, escort ships and logistic support ships with various missions as well as transport planes and helicopter gunships involved in the area of Phohang, North Kyongsang Province.
The forces involved in the drill are several times bigger than the previous ones. It is expected to last till April 7 with an additional program for air attack on the north added to it.
The warmongers bluffed that the on-going military exercise is the second biggest in scale after the Team Spirit joint military exercises and opened the drill to public.
They describe the drill as "defensive and annual" though aggression and war means move to places simulating areas in the DPRK, firing bullets and shells. Their lame excuses will convince no one. These madcap war exercises self-expose that the U.S. imperialists and the puppet military group are the harassers of peace and provocateurs of war.

At ABT, bouquets and 'bravos' for a beloved dancer
NEW YORK When American Ballet Theatre audiences embrace a dancer, they do it full tilt. And for 16 years, they've embraced Jose Manuel Carreno, a Cuban-born dynamo with a killer jump and even better pirouettes.
And so when Carreno retired on Thursday, dancing his final, perfectly controlled turns on the Metropolitan Opera House stage, the audience showered its love upon him with a quarter-hour's worth of curtain calls, calling him back repeatedly and pelting the stage with countless bouquets.
The part he danced - the tortured Prince Siegfried in "Swan Lake" - is a classic, but not the one for which Carreno is best known. Indeed, many fans wished he could have gone out as Basilio in "Don Quixote," for it was in that high-spirited role that he charmed countless audiences over the years with his humor, showmanship and effortless Latin charm.
Still, "Swan Lake" isn't the worst way to leave, and Carreno made the most of it. Now in his early 40s, he may not get the full height he used to on his jumps, but his turns are still marvels of technique and control, especially the way he slows down as he ends them, balancing perfectly, with a slight smile as if to say, "Yes, I can still do this."
Carreno has also been a strong and consummate partner. When the gymnastlike Natalia Osipova made a running leap into his arms last year in "Don Quixote" - two such leaps, actually - she traveled with such velocity it was a wonder anyone could catch her and stay upright. But Carreno did, to everyone's relief.
And this year in the same ballet, he struck many with his onstage gallantry when he made a point of calling another ballerina, visiting Royal Ballet star Alina Cojocaru, out from the wings for extra bows after her solos.
Carreno trained at Cuba's famed National Ballet School, and gained early attention by winning the gold medal at the New York International Ballet Competition in 1987. Before joining ABT in 1995 he danced with the English National Ballet and then the Royal in London.
One of the highlights of his ABT career, he has said, came just last November, when he and other company dancers, including fellow Cuban Xiomara Reyes, performed at the International Ballet Festival of Havana.
On Thursday, perhaps unable to choose between his favorite ballerinas, Carreno picked two of them to share the role of Odette/Odile in "Swan Lake." Julie Kent was her typical ethereal, graceful self as Odette, and Gillian Murphy produced her usual technical fireworks as the evil black swan Odile, tossing off her fouettes and adding extra turns to delight the crowd.
Carreno also asked his friend and former ABT dancer Joaquin de Luz, now employed across the plaza at New York City Ballet, to dance the role of Siegfried's pal Benno, which de Luz did with charm and brio.
As the curtain went down, balletomanes crowded into the front rows of the audience, capturing video on their cell phones. They watched Carreno get down on one knee and acknowledge his fellow dancers.

Now that Major League Baseball has been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, we can all take comfort in the fact that truth, justice and the National Pastime will forever be protected by modern video technology.
Don't misunderstand the sarcastic tone. The decision to dramatically expand the use of video replay to reverse bad umpire rulings is the correct one for our time. There's no reason to let bad calls stand when there is an almost foolproof way to replace them with good ones.

As of Saturday, March 30, 2013

OXFORD -- Oxford College of Emory University keeps setting records.
The two-year school again received a record number of student applicants for fall entrance.
Oxford received 6,586 applications overall, slightly more than last year, and significant growth in early decision applications, according to Jennifer Taylor, associate dean for enrollment services at Oxford.
Applications for the second round of early decision were up 91 percent compared to last year, the first time Oxford offered early decision as an application option.
Oxford anticipates a 2013 entering class of about 480 students.
The quality of SAT scores and other academic credentials is also stronger compared to last year, a continuing trend for the college, Taylor said. About one fifth of the students in each Emory freshman class choose to begin their baccalaureate studies with Oxford's liberal-arts-intensive program. As juniors, they continue their studies on Emory's Atlanta campus.
Emory College of Arts & Sciences, Emory's main undergraduate division, also received an all-time record number of 17,652 applications for fall 2013 admittance, edging out the previous high from last year's 17,493 applications.
The admissions staff is now in the next phase of shaping the class of 2016; students will be notified of their acceptance status by Monday.
Last year, Oxford College accepted 2,547 students to its 2012 entering class, after 6,478 students applied, which was a record number at the time. In 2006, more than 1,000 students applied to the college, and nearly 4,000 applied in 2009, according to previous reports.
Oxford's total enrollment usually hovers about 900 students for freshmen and sophomores.
