85% leave SlideShare out of their content marketing programs and miss out on its massive reach. The A to Z Guide to SlideShare will help get you started.
Everyone talks about Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. But have you tried SlideShare? I'm not a heavy users but it's my favorite platform for publishing slides.
Barry Feldman's article is perfect for anyone, from beginner to advanced user, interested in making the most of SlideShare. For instance, he doesn't just explain how to optimize your presentations, but he also shows you how to get featured. There are also good examples.

All in all, an excellent guide to read and bookmark!
A post to help small businesses to get started on Pinterest.
I tried to include tips that are not covered too often. Most things have already been said about Pinterest at this point...
Domain = branding component. The right domain extension can sometimes be challenging. Here are alternative domain extensions you've probably not considered.
Domain is a branding component. Yes it's really true.
The domain name suffix is known as a generic top-level domain (gTLD) and it describes the type of organization. However in the last few years, the lines have blurred somewhat between these categories

In this post, I share some important tips to help you get started on the right track. You will also find nice examples from across the board...
In this Instagram case study we look at Social Studio Shop - a social media agency - and how they successfully use Instagram to promote their business.

It happened again.We put a lot of care, sweat, time and expense into building and publishing a useful data study for our industry. It got lots of shares and huge traffic.And it got mentioned in a post on one of the most widely-read blogs in the world. So hooray, right? Break out the champagne! Not so fast. The article contained no link to our study. Now obviously I'm a bit sad about that because, well, who wouldn't want a link from one of the highest authority blogs on the web? That's an SEO dre
Like Mark Traphagen, I have noticed this reluctance to link to sources. There are several big blogs that share some incredible insights but won't give credit where credit is due. This is a worrying trend.
Actually, this reminds me of what a majority of people still say about content curation: "If I direct customers to good content that is not mine, won't this affect my bottom line negatively?"
We don't know for sure, but it may be that such links help search engines establish and feel more confident about the topical relevancy of your pages. If you page is about bubble blowing and you link out to other good sources about aspects of bubble blowing, it seems more certain that your page probably really is about bubble blowing.
People do not just want good information. They also care about those who consistently share it with them.
You have a YouTube channel, but it's not bringing in the hordes of traffic you expected, and in fact, not even your friends and family are visiting it on a
Many articles talk about Pinterest, LinkedIn, or Twitter. But what about YouTube? It can be a major traffic driver too!
In this short article, Sibylla Nash shares 10 commandments that one should follow to ensure success. Nothing is new, of course, but these are very good reminders. Because, let's be honest, the basics are often what most of us forget.

You tube is not just for loading your videos .It can be used as an effective marketing tool.

The social media world wouldn't be the same without Buffer. The company is so transparent about its strategy and ideas that it deserves to be at the top of the list of great examples of social businesses.

A fascinating look at how human behavior plays a role in marketing. This is something that is vital if you want your products to sell.
The post is interesting as well, because it is hosted on a website that does the exact opposite of the author advised. I already discussed this issue with one of the founders, but apparently they don't care about the UX. If you read the comments, you will understand what I mean.
A great article. Too bad that The Next Web doesn't walk the talk!
Every website that has one of those annoying "sign up" screens that pops up immediately after the page loads and before you've even read anything (that includes you TNW) needs to read this. A great article that explains how your desire to drive a visitor a specific action may in fact drive them to do the opposite.
@Liraz - The only suggestion I would make is that rationalization happens in the conscious, not the subconscious, mind.
Generating 200 conversations per minute, LinkedIn Groups can be a treasure-trove of information and networking, a hotbed of self-promotion and spam…or a ghost town. Or all at once.
LinkedIn works via active participation. However, as a job/employment site it has the potential to be harmful to majority of its users should many subjects or even the quality of articles covered were to be given candid, honest responses.
One concern often discussed in Networking groups is the harvesting of job seekers resumes by unrepeatable recruiters. A second though unintended consequence is the opportunity for hiring managers or generalist to preemptively filter out qualified minority job candidates. This mitigates the old "shameful" practice of discovering the race of a candidate at the interview and having to dismiss their candidacy under the guise of... you name the mired of old excuses...

Graphic Design: Museum of London to launch exhibition of Radio Times' archive
Young'uns might well think the Radio Times is but another mere listings magazine that sits on their Gran's coffee table – one to read with your feet up on the pouf while dunking your custard cream for an irresponsible third time. But over the years this well-read and highly-esteemed publication has become something of a British institution, so, to celebrate its 90th birthday, the Museum of London will be exhibiting magazines, clips, broadcast artefacts and original photography and artwork from their archive.
Needless to say, over the last 90 years they've produced a myriad of great covers, documenting the time in which they were published as much as they act as a monument to all of the great illustrators and graphic designers who created them. The exhibition includes work by CRW Nevinson, John Gilroy and Abram Games, and spans almost a century of British culture, and all of the greats who fall under that umbrella. Happy birthday RT!
Cover Story: Radio Times at 90 will run at the Museum of London from August 2 until November 3.

From Charlie Chaplin
Thanks Roseanne This is really cool…
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS. even the third time I heard this. I nominate this for a grammy. I too was an officially registered candidate for president representing the Independent Party of the United States of America. We listen to many of the same people like Max Kaiser and your running mate Cindy Sheehan I so respected her for what she has done. My mother,who just passed away, gave 2 husbands to this country. Both of my Dads died due to military service. America still means something to me . I will spend every last day of my life trying to straighten everything out. I have been fighting corruption my entire life. Wichita State University,Kansas 1970, I was arrested and tried twice for protesting against Spiro Agnew. Jury finally found us innocent. In the 90's whenI was a State Representative I took on the Party machine,[my own party] and put the order in that removed our speaker after 19 years as well as forcing our Univ. Chancellor to resign under threat of my Audit Bill. I could go on but suffice it to say I still didn't have the full historical facts on the International Bankster Crime Syndicate and the Elite etc. But it's a new day today and I am extreamly encouraged by how aware we are today. and YES WE NEED TO U N I T E !!! count me ALL IN.

In sales and marketing, cold calling is an approach wherein a company calls customers who are not expecting to speak with you. Cold calling is referred to as 'cold' because it is an unexpected call without any preliminary assumptions from the customer. When you are calling potential customers who are interested in your products and services like those who have signed up for your newsletters or postcards, it is referred as 'warm' calling.
Cold calling works with good techniques. When making a cold call, you have to represent yourself not as a traditional seller. You need to draw out a scheme wherein you do not let the customer notice that you are selling. Cold calling does aim to sell in the traditional sense. Rather, the goal is to create a conversation, to get the customer's attention, and to make a further discussion of whatever it is you are promoting.
5 Basic Techniques Used in cold calling:
- Preparation. An effective caller is always prepared. Make sure you are representing a product or service of good quality. Also, always take note of the purpose of your product. Make sure it fits your market. You also have to prepare a good mental approach. Your mental approach is the way you see yourself in the whole cold calling activity which includes your working environment, time management, equipments, and your image as an unknown caller. Your calls can be delivered effectively when relaxed and focused. In order to become a successful cold caller, develop your ability and confidence in dealing with different people. Your knowledge about product and service will represent your credibility and reliability. This will help you with your strategic skills when facing different questions from your potential clients.
- Opening Spiel/Introduction. Having a clear and concise introduction can help you get a person's attention. Be strategic and state your main reason to further the conversation. Your opening should be detailed, concise, and specific. Do not spill every detail in your intro. Let the person speak before you spill out other details.
- Questioning and Objectivity. A part of cold calling is to ask good facilitative queries which can help the customer identify his needs. This will also help you see the situation more clearly which will help you further explain your products or services. In the process of your call, you have to be objective. Be fair and neutral and do not push your product. Be an advisor but do represent yourself as a seller.
- Listen, Interpret, Inform, and Educate. In cold calling, you are playing the role of an adviser so a good listening skill is a must. Visualize yourself in their situation; be strategic rather than being pushy with your sales. You are an expert adviser so you have the responsibility to inform and educate them as well. This approach is pleasing and appealing to the customer which can help you better with your sales.
- Keep in touch. After getting them to converse with you, be guided by their needs and situation. Identify how you can help them. Involve them in your system and make them feel that they need your product and service. Take note of the important points that you have gathered throughout the cold calling. Make recommendations and stay in touch with them.

Source: PWInsider- As noted, Bully Ray crashed Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore 3 event last night and challenged him to an Old School Street Fight at a December 30th TNA One Night Only "Old School" pay-per-view taping in the same building, the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.
The angle was put together as a way to cross promote TNA's pay-per-view taping with the idea that TNA will promote Dreamer's House of Hardcore and help raise it's profile by acknowledging it while TNA gets the chance to promote their pay-per-view locally with an outside the box idea. Dreamer has not signed a deal with TNA but will be working the pay-per-view taping against Ray. The angle is just an example of TNA trying more unique and creative ways to promote their events heading into 2014.
This will be TNA's first pay-per-view in New York State. Tickets go on sale next Friday at 10am.
- Speaking of House of Hardcore 3, Terry Funk worked the main event with an abdominal tear. Sean Waltman needed 10 stitches after taking a ladder shot from Funk and Beulah McGillicutty may have suffered a concussion for her involvement in the main event.
- Here are some post-show comments from some of the House of Hardcore 3 talents:
Matt Hardy: "Special night at @HouseofHardcore. The roster was extraordinary, the booking was brilliant, & it was the best locker room u'll find in 2013."
Lance Storm: "Had an amazing night tonight at House of Hardcore 3. So many great people. Not a dry eye in the house for @RealTerryFunk #Respect"
Sean Waltman: "Thank you @THETOMMYDREAMER @LanceStorm @PJPOLACO & especially @RealTerryFunk. It was one if the biggest honors of my career.Worth 10stitches"
MVP: "Tonight, if you were in attendance at House of Hardcore III, you know that you witnessed something special. Thank you @THETOMMYDREAMER"

It seems almost comical to slap a label on him. So simplistic, so Barnum-esque to call him "The Human Fish." But how else to describe Francisco "Pipin" Ferreras and all the marvelous things he can do with just one very deep breath of air?
We've all tried to hold our breath for as long as we can. How long did you last? Thirty seconds? A minute? And how long can you do it under water? And how deep were you? The bottom of a 10-foot pool, with the pressure on your ears nearly unbearable?
Please, no foolhardy machismo here. Your claims will pale by comparison to what Pipin can do: stay under water for several minutes. And by under water, I mean deep under water. Almost 500 feet.
It's called free diving. It's part extreme sport, part quest for inner peace.
Pushing His Body to the Limit
Pipin rides down on an 80-pound weight that plunges him down to the equivalent of a 50-story skyscraper. As he descends, amazing things happen to his body: His heart rate slows to just 14 beats a minute. That's barely a pulse. Each of his lungs, normally the size of a football, shrinks to the size of a potato. Blood surges from his extremities to his heart and brain. In short, he's pushing his body to the limit.
It's pretty much what happens naturally to marine mammals. The "marine mammal response" is what Pipin calls it. And he insists humans can do it too; the ability, he says, is buried deep within us. He believes we evolved from the sea and, he says, everyone of us, after all, spent our first nine months of life "underwater," swaddled in amniotic fluid.
"You're going back into the aquatic memory that every human being has," says Pipin.
There is, say free divers, a sense of euphoria way down there — a little like floating in outer space, and so peaceful they'd rather stay under. But of course they can't. So to make it to the surface before he runs out of that single swallow of air, Pipin inflates a balloon that will quickly carry him up — sort of like an express elevator.
There are two things I should make abundantly clear here. First, free diving is dangerous — deadly dangerous. Last June, renowned U.S. surfer Jay Moriarty died while free diving in the Indian Ocean. Those last few feet, as your body readjusts to the nearing-the-surface pressure, are especially risky. Divers can black out — forever.
Second, not everyone is enamored with Pipin and his diving records. (He's held several world marks, and he claims, in practice, to have dived as deep as 558 feet on one lungful of air.) Diving purists criticize Pipin's reliance on a weighted sled to go down and an inflatable balloon to surface. Pipin also does it the "purist" way, but using the equipment has enabled him to go twice as deep.
My Underwater Attempt (OK, Five Attempts)
I decided to test Pipin's theory that anyone can do this. So one day I find myself flying to Miami. Two hours after landing, I'm in the water, looking and feeling a bit like a whale about to beach.
Pipin — who advises me that, despite a tight deadline for the story, I should really wait 24 hours between flying and diving — leads me through some deep breathing exercises, trying to force the "bad air" out and get my lungs accustomed to expanding. I do not grab or practice this concept as easily or attractively as he does.

37 year old man | Atlanta, GA, USA | Seeking women 28-44 within 35 miles
Read me. You just might like me.
Well after winning the lottery twice, I was able to pursue my dream of composing elevator music. Yes when you are standing in the elevator of the King and Queen building listening to an Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to the elevator tune, that was me. I've set the world record for bouncing on a pogo stick while drinking a glass of milk, well not really, but I'm sure there is a record for it and if I could bounce on a pogo stick, i'm sure I'd been in the running for the record. I've officiated 3 wedding, actually I'm lying, it was only one and I only slightly messed up. The good news, we got it worked out and they are happily married today :) Ok in case you can't tell, I can be a touch sarcastic. Me in a nutshell..........Atlanta native who moved to the West Coast for little bit and has been back for a couple of years. I'm confident, warm, generous person, who is well read and well educated and always exercising my brain as well as my body. I enjoy to work out in the morning before work and go for a jog after in the evening to burn off the rest of the day. I appreciate a good glass of wine, but more importantly the company of good people. If you are looking for a guy who wears striped shirts and waits in-line for the hottest clubs, sorry that's not me. I'm a bit old fashioned in that I actually call when I say I'm going to call. Texting is soooooooo last year. Games are for kids. If two people like each other there is no reason to play with each other's minds. If one doesn't like the other? We're grown up move on. There is so much more that can't be summed up into words.

A Cause for Celebration
In most countries with a five-day work week, Friday is the last workday before the weekend and is, therefore, viewed as a cause for celebration or relief. In some offices, employees are allowed to wear less formal attire on Fridays, known as Casual Friday or Dress-Down Friday. In Israel, however, Friday is the first day of the weekend, and Sunday is the first workday.
3.THIS show has a season premier tonight

I am addicted to internet quizzes
Hub HATES turtlenecks but is quite sensitive and does know a disturbing amount of random facts and useless knowledge. I hardly think he will be quoting me Billy Shakespeare anytime soon... but he DOES have a secret love of musicals, but doesn't know squat about musical theatre.
I'm confused.
I do like me some Jake Gyllenhall however. Sign me up for summa dat!
love you honey (hub i mean)
What Kind of Guy Will You Fall For?
|You would fall for the sensitive guy. You'll find your future man wherever turtlenecks are sold. He will have depth, introspection, and a disturbing knowledge of musical theatre. And he may be a little weird. But hey, while your girlfriends cry over broken hearts, you'll be having Shakespeare read to you every night.

"Here is what I would like for you to know: In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body—it is heritage."
Last Sunday the host of a popular news show asked me what it meant to lose my body. The host was broadcasting from Washington, D.C., and I was seated in a remote studio on the Far West Side of Manhattan. A satellite closed the miles between us, but no machinery could close the gap between her world and the world for which I had been summoned to speak. When the host asked me about my body, her face faded from the screen, and was replaced by a scroll of words, written by me earlier that week.
The host read these words for the audience, and when she finished she turned to the subject of my body, although she did not mention it specifically. But by now I am accustomed to intelligent people asking about the condition of my body without realizing the nature of their request. Specifically, the host wished to know why I felt that white America's progress, or rather the progress of those Americans who believe that they are white, was built on looting and violence. Hearing this, I felt an old and indistinct sadness well up in me. The answer to this question is the record of the believers themselves. The answer is American history.
As the Vermont senator gains momentum, Claire McCaskill rushes to the frontrunner's defense.
Obscured by the recent avalanche of momentous news is this intriguing development from the campaign trail: The Hillary Clinton campaign now considers Bernie Sanders threatening enough to attack. Fresh off news that Sanders is now virtually tied with Hillary in New Hampshire, Claire McCaskill went on Morning Joe on June 25 to declare that "the media is giving Bernie a pass … they're not giving the same scrutiny to Bernie that they're certainly giving to Hillary."
The irony here is thick. In 2006, McCaskill said on Meet the Press that while Bill Clinton was a great president, "I don't want my daughter near him." Upon hearing the news, according to John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's book Game Change, Hillary exclaimed, "Fuck her," and cancelled a fundraiser for the Missouri senator. McCaskill later apologized to Bill Clinton, and was wooed intensely by Hillary during the 2008 primaries. But she infuriated the Clintons again by endorsing Barack Obama. In their book HRC, Aimee Parnes and Jonathan Allen write that, "'Hate' is too weak a word to describe the feelings that Hillary's core loyalists still have for McCaskill."
In the United States, when an unmarried man has a baby, his partner can give it up without his consent—unless he happens to know about an obscure system called the responsible father registry.
Christopher Emanuel first met his girlfriend in the fall of 2012, when they were both driving forklifts at a warehouse in Trenton, South Carolina. She was one of a handful of women on the job; she was white and he was black. She ignored him at first, and Emanuel saw it as a challenge. It took multiple attempts to get her phone number. He says he "wasn't lonely, but everybody wants somebody. Nothing wrong with being friends."
Emanuel, who is now 25, describes himself as a non-discriminatory flirt. He was popular in high school and a state track champion. According to the Aiken High School 2008 yearbook, he was voted "Most Attractive" and "Best Dressed." Even his former English teacher Francesca Pataro describes him as a "ray of sunshine." Emanuel says he's "talked"—euphemistically speaking—with a lot of women: "Black, Puerto Rican, Egyptian, and Vietnamese." But before he met this girlfriend, he says, he had never seriously dated a white girl.
What compassion does to the brain
In 1992, the neuroscientist Richard Davidson got a challenge from the Dalai Lama. By that point, he'd spent his career asking why people respond to, in his words, "life's slings and arrows" in different ways. Why are some people more resilient than others in the face of tragedy? And is resilience something you can gain through practice?
The Dalai Lama had a different question for Davidson when he visited the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader at his residence in Dharamsala, India. "He said: 'You've been using the tools of modern neuroscience to study depression, and anxiety, and fear. Why can't you use those same tools to study kindness and compassion?' … I did not have a very good answer. I said it was hard."
New data shows that students whose parents make less money pursue more "useful" subjects, such as math or physics.
In 1780, John Adams wrote a letter to his wife, Abigail, in which he laid out his plans for what his children and grandchildren would devote their lives to. Having himself taken the time to master "Politicks and War," two revolutionary necessities, Adams hoped his children would go into disciplines that promoted nation-building, such as "mathematicks," "navigation," and "commerce." His plan was that in turn, those practical subjects would give his children's children room "to study painting, poetry, musick, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelaine."
Two-hundred and thirty-five years later, this progression—"from warriors to dilettantes," in the words of the literary scholar Geoffrey Galt Harpham—plays out much as Adams hoped it would: Once financial concerns have been covered by their parents, children have more latitude to study less pragmatic things in school. Kim Weeden, a sociologist at Cornell, looked at National Center for Education Statistics data for me after I asked her about this phenomenon, and her analysis revealed that, yes, the amount of money a college student's parents make does correlate with what that person studies. Kids from lower-income families tend toward "useful" majors, such as computer science, math, and physics. Those whose parents make more money flock to history, English, and performing arts.

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
Most adults can't remember much of what happened to them before age 3 or so. What happens to the memories formed in those earliest years?
My first memory is of the day my brother was born: November 14, 1991. I can remember my father driving my grandparents and me over to the hospital in Highland Park, Illinois, that night to see my newborn brother. I can remember being taken to my mother's hospital room, and going to gaze upon my only sibling in his bedside cot. But mostly, I remember what was on the television. It was the final two minutes of a Thomas the Tank Engine episode. I can even remember the precise story: "Percy Takes the Plunge," which feels appropriate, given that I too was about to recklessly throw myself into the adventure of being a big brother.
In sentimental moments, I'm tempted to say my brother's birth is my first memory because it was the first thing in my life worth remembering. There could be a sliver of truth to that: Research into the formation and retention of our earliest memories suggests that people's memories often begin with significant personal events, and the birth of a sibling is a textbook example. But it was also good timing. Most people's first memories date to when they were about 3.5 years old, and that was my age, almost to the day, when my brother was born.
Harsh crackdowns provoke suspicion and mistrust within the very communities whose cooperation police require.
How do you prevent crimes committed by undocumented immigrants?
Parodoxically, America doesn't need even more intensified efforts to aggressively hunt down unlawful immigrants and deport them. What it needs is a path to citizenship.
This past weekend, an undocumented immigrant who had reportedly been deported on five previous occasions shot and killed a woman in a busy part of San Francisco. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who had previously made waves for suggesting that most Mexican immigrants were drug dealers and rapists, doubled down in the wake of the San Francisco homicide. Trump argued the shooting provided "yet another example of why we must secure our border."
And while some in the GOP field took exception to Trump's remarks, Senator Ted Cruz supported Trump's conclusion. "I salute Donald Trump for focusing on the need to address illegal immigration," said Cruz before attacking the idea of immigration reform.
A team of Australian researchers want to protect surfers by dressing them in zebra stripes.
To understand why so many people are drawn to deadly creatures of the deep, look to the quote by the sociobiologist E.O. Wilson: "We are not afraid of predators, we're transfixed by them … We love our monsters."
The best example of this paradox: Even as shark attacks have spiked off the coast of the Carolinas this year, Discovery Channel's Shark Week kicked off this weekend with the most programming hours in its history. People should be at least a little afraid of sharks, it seems, yet they can't get enough of them.
Perhaps that explains why surfers brave shark-invested waters again and again in search of the perfect wave—and suffer some of the most gruesome shark attacks as a result. After hearing about a rash of shark attacks—five of them fatal—in Western Australia a few years ago, the kitesurfer and entrepreneur Hamish Jolly began exploring ways to protect ocean-sport enthusiasts without forcing them to get out of the water.

Penn State Clashes with Northwestern Sunday
Oct. 19, 2012
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State men's soccer returns to Big Ten action Sunday as the team heads to Evanston, Ill., to take on No. 21 Northwestern. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. The Wildcats (10-2-2, 3-0-0 B1G) currently sit atop the conference standings alongside Indiana, while the Nittany Lions (8-4-2, 2-1-1 B1G) follow in third place.
Senior midfielder Chris Ritter paces the Northwestern attack with 15 points off five goals and five assists. First-year forward Joey Calistri follows closely with 14 points on the strength of a team-leading six goals and a pair of assists. Ritter and Calistri rank second and third in point in the Big Ten, respectively. Sophomore midfielder Grant Wilson has been an outstanding setup man this autumn, accumulating six assists, good for second in the Big Ten. Sophomore Tyler Miller has been the lone goalkeeper for the Wildcats this season, racking up 1,320 minutes. Miller owns a 0.82 GAA with 38 saves and places second in the Big Ten with six shutouts.
Tim Lenahan, the 2011 Big Ten Coach of the Year, leads the Wildcats in his 12th season at the helm of the program. The Purple and White have not lost a conference match since falling to Penn State, 3-1, Nov. 11, 2010, in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.
The Last Meeting
November 13, 2011
Ann Arbor, Mich.
Starting with the teams' first meeting in 1991, Penn State won 17-consecutive matches before a 2-2 tie in 2004 in Evanston. Since then the series has been in a deadlock at 5-5-2. In his first season at Penn State, head coach Bob Warming guided his 2010 team to a 1-1 tie during the regular season before improving for a 3-1 win in the first round of the Big Ten tournament.
Penn State has risen to the top half of the leaderboard as well, sitting in third place with a 2-1-1 record in conference play. The Nittany Lions are trailed by Michigan (1-2-1), Wisconsin (1-2-0) and Michigan State (1-2-0) in fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Ohio State rounds out the group in seventh at 0-4-0.
The weekend features a pair of Big Ten matchups outside the NU/PSU showdown. Indiana hosts Michigan Friday evening, while Wisconsin travels to take on Michigan State Sunday afternoon. Ohio State hosts in-state foe Wright State Friday in an out-of-conference tussle.
Senior Julian Cardona (Lincoln, Neb.) has been a force on the attack this season, tallying 12 points on five goals and two assists. Those numbers have the Nebraska native sitting in fourth in points and third in goals in the Big Ten. Classmate Minh Vu (Tuscon, Ariz.) leads the team and is tied for seventh in the Big Ten in assists (3), while Cardona, John Gallagher (Pine Bush, N.Y.), Drew Klingenberg (Gibsonia, Pa.), Hasani Sinclair (Coral Gables, Fla.) and Daniel Burnham (Boise, Idaho) have added a pair of helpers. Burnham's trio of goals this season has him tied for seventh in the conference. Multiple Nittany Lions have contributed to the offensive success as 14 players have recorded a point, including nine with goals.
Defensively, the Nittany Lions have allowed just 39 shots on goal, fewest in the Big Ten. Senior Emmanuel Martin (Cormontreuil, France) has taken the bulk of the minutes in goal (698) and carries a 0.90 GAA through eight starts. Sophomore Andrew Wolverton (Snellville, Ga.) has allowed just four goals in just over 600 minutes of play, recording 14 saves in five starts. Wolverton ranks second in the Big Ten in save percentage (.778) and GAA (0.59).
The Nittany Lions have only been held under 10 shots once this season, Sept. 2 against Georgetown, and have led in that category in 11 of 14 contests. In total, the team is outshooting opponents, 222-128, in 2012, along with an 82-39 advantage in shots on goal.
The seven Big Ten teams have combined for nearly 60,000 fans at 52 home games this season.
Midfielders Jacob Barron (La Mirada, Calif.) and Owen Griffith (Lewisburg, Pa.) have been mainstays, as well, combining to play 2,265 of a possible 2,630 minutes this season. The captain group of Barron, Forgue, Gallagher and Griffith has combined to play 4,521 of a possible 5,260 minutes.
Cheney and redshirt-freshman Kyle MacDonald (Yardley, Pa.) recorded their first collegiate points on the same play in the 3-0 win over Adelphi. MacDonald notched an assist on Cheney's scoring strike in the second half. First-year goalkeeper Danny Sheerin (College Park, Md.) made his first appearance against the Panthers, guarding the net for the final nine minutes of the shutout. Klingenberg opened his collegiate account with an assist on Cheney's gamewinner against Wisconsin Sept. 21.
Six of the eight Penn State wins have been decided by one-goal differentials.
Senior Brian Forgue anchored the defense every minute of the run, while classmate John Gallagher was off the field just over a minute. Freshman Shane Campbell and junior Martin Seiler helped suffocate opponents' attacks the majority of the duration on the back line alongside Forgue and Gallagher. Three keepers, Emmanuel Martin, Andrew Wolverton and Danny Sheerin, spent time in goal for Penn State, combining to stop the 12 shots.
Owen Griffith, a sophomore defender, was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week Sept. 10 after helping the Nittany Lions shut out West Virginia in a scoreless draw Sept. 6. Senior defender Brian Forgue picked up the first Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors of the season Aug. 27 following a 3-0 victory over Stetson in the campaign-opener. Classmate Julian Cardona garnered a spot on the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week the same day after his two-goal performance against the Hatters.
Numerous players have also landed on all-tournament teams after the WVU Nike Classic, co-hosted by West Virginia and Penn State, and the Class of `98 Invitational, co-hosted with Bucknell, in which the Nittany Lions finished a combined 4-0-0.

U.S. Teen Births at Lowest Level in 70 Years: Are Shows Like Teen Mom the Reason?
The stars of MTV's Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant should feel proud of themselves for reaching out and helping teens make better choices. According to a new report from the National Center for Health Statistics, their efforts have paid off: Teen births in the United States are the lowest they've been in 70 years!
But are show like Teen Mom the reason? Fans seem divided. Yesterday, MTV's Maci Bookout shared the news on her Facebook page, and many followers argued that the show has nothing to do with the drop in teen births.
"Just because the teen pregnancy rate dropped, doesn't mean the show should get all the credit!" one fan wrote.
Another fan disagreed, saying, "And they said the show was gonna do damage?!....this is good to see :)"
According to Sarah Brown, CEO of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, "Young people are being more careful."
Whatever the reason — regardless of whether Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant actually help raise awareness of the consequences of unprotected sex — we're thrilled to hear that teens are doing the right thing.
And to the teens who are proud moms and moms-to-be: Keep up the good work. We know it's not easy.

3Daughters…2 Liars…and a King grown old, but not wise…
Shanghai Repertory Theater opens its 2010 Spring Season with one of History's Greatest Works of Literature:
Shakespeare's King Lear
February 2, 2010- King Lear is one of the most far-reaching artistic explorations of the human condition, with its tempestuous poetry shot through with touches of humor and moments of heart-rending simplicity. This production enters a vicious and visceral world where greed and ambition turns sister against sister, master against servant, and child against parent. Betrayal, lust, and murder follow…
Directed by Philip Knight, SRT's "King Lear" features an international cast of performers. Opening on Wed. March 24th and running until March 28th, SRT's spring season opener will be performed at the Ke Center for Contemporary Arts located at 613-B Kai Xuan Road near Yan'an West Road.
About "King Lear"
King Lear is the story of a man who makes a grave choice that sends him hurtling, reeling and struggling, from the heights of kingship to the earthly perspective of the poor and the mad. From start to finish, Shakespeare has included so much story, so many questions, so many observations, perhaps so many opinions about who we are and what we do, that many consider it to be his grandest and darkest play.
When Lear's youngest, Cordelia, refuses to take part in a show of love requested by the king during the official ceremony of his semi-retirement, he aborts his decision to split the kingdom in 3, leaving it instead to his elder daughters, Goneril and Regan and their husbands ? unleashing a mad battle for the remaining power of the throne, setting the stage for a bastard named Edmund to fashion the kingdom to his own desires and leaving the king himself out in the cold, in the middle of a raging storm.
This is only the first half of a story spun together from machination, treachery, betrayal and a desperate attempt to reclaim the torn kingdom and evade the promised end.

The Ghost And Mrs. Hobbs : Just a few weeks after making it possible for the police to capture Lucy Stiles's killer -- with the help of Lucy's ghost -- eleven-year-old Allie Nichols is visited by another disembodied voice. Her friend Dub Whitwell decides she must be a "ghost magnet". Somehow, the new ghost is connected with the school's fearsome cafeteria lady, Mrs. Hobbs. Allie means to understand the connection, and to help the unsettled ghost find peace in the hereafter. Little does she know that what the ghost wants is not peace but revenge. And as the vengeful ghost begins to threaten people, including Allie's little brother, Allie discovers through her relationships with the ghost and Mrs. Hobbs, and through her friendship with Dub, that jealousy can indeed be a monster.

Mitt Romney, launching his presidential bid, said President Obama treats Israel with "distrust."
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, announced his second bid Thursday for the Republican presidential nomination at a farm in New Hampshire.
Much of his speech focused on what he said were Obama's failures with the economy, but he also faulted the president's foreign policy, particularly when it came to Israel.
"He seems firmly and clearly determined to undermine our longtime friend and ally," he said. "He's treating Israel the same way so many European countries have: with suspicion, distrust and an assumption that Israel is at fault."
Romney had accused Obama of "throwing Israel under the bus" after the president's May 19 policy speech in which he called for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations to be based on 1967 lines, with mutually agreed land swaps.
In the same speech, Obama said that Israel must have security guarantees, called for a non-militarized Palestinian state and faulted the Palestinian Authority for its recent pact with Hamas and for seeking statehood through U.N. recognition.

On the last day of 2013, Reddit published its full year stats.
The numbers revealed impressive year-over-year growth when compared to full year stats for 2012.
In 2013, Reddit had 56 billion pageviews and received 731 million uniques. That's up from 37 billion pageviews and 400 million uniques in 2012.
But how does that growth translate to traffic to publishers?
A new report from Shareaholic reveals websites around the web saw a 36% year-over-year decrease in referrals from Reddit. But wait, how is that?!
It would seem that Reddit is less and less a social bookmarking site. Rather, it has become a forum for interesting discussions including their wildly popular Ask Me Anything (AMA) threads which have featured celebrities such as Bill Gates and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Essentially, if you're a website owner or marketer, you'd be wise to rely on Reddit less for its referral traffic. If you've seen your Reddit referral numbers drop in the past year, don't expect 'em to come back either. It's probably time to move on.
If you're looking for alternative sources of social traffic, Facebook and Pinterest are promising channels.

The results of surveys carried out for the International Simultaneous Census and Simultaneous Census of Network Sites in 2010 and six previous years since 1997 suggest that the population trends of these species are in fact stable or increasing (Marconi et al. in press).

NBA FINALS: SPURS v HEAT
June 19, 2013
LeBron James
MIAMI, FLORIDA: Practice Day
Q. LeBron, obviously you take your headband off at night to go to sleep. When was the last time you ever played a game that long without your headband?
LeBRON JAMES: My rookie year preseason. I started the preseason off not playing‑‑ I think we were in Detroit in my rookie year. I didn't play too well. I didn't like it.
Q. LeBron, can you talk about just your upcoming moment tomorrow. Are you antsy, excited, nervous about the situation where the whole spotlight primarily will be on you?
LeBRON JAMES: I already know that. It is what it is. I understand the moment for me. I've been pretty relaxed, though. I've been pretty relaxed throughout the playoffs. I'm going to be antsy, I'm going to be excited. I'm going to have some butterflies. I'll be nervous. Everything. That's how I should be.
The moment is going to be grand. Like I said, I'm happy to be a part of it.
Q. I saw the way you walked off last night from here. How does your body feel now? What do you do over the next 30 hours or so to get ready?
LeBRON JAMES: I feel better today than I did last night already. So I'm going to do my extensive treatment. Do whatever it takes‑‑ if I have to play 49 minutes again tomorrow night to help us win, I'm going to do it. Nobody's body is feeling great at this point from both teams. But for me it's all about‑‑ it's more mind over matter, man. I'm hurting. But it doesn't matter. It's the last game of the season, so it's whatever.
Q. LeBron, you had I think it was 14 or 16 points in the paint in the fourth quarter and in overtime in that game, which is more than you had any game this series. Was that your aggressiveness or something they allowed you to do there as well?
LeBRON JAMES: It's a little bit of both. It's also the lineup with myself, Bird, Ray, Rio and Mike, it creates a lot of space. With Mike and Ray, they stayed home on those guys a lot, it allows me to get downhill and get to the paint. I started to be more aggressive, I started to find some cracks and able to finish some.
But it's a little bit of everything. Me just trying to be aggressive and put myself in a position where I can succeed to help our team, kind of overcome that 10‑point deficit, and I was able to do that.
Q. LeBron, when a team loses, especially losing a heartbreaker as the Spurs did last night, you often walk away with the plays still replaying in your head, things that went wrong. Is it the same thing with a win in that fashion? Were you leaving last night with that replaying?
LeBRON JAMES: Absolutely. I didn't sleep last night either. The Spurs didn't sleep. You probably couldn't sleep. I didn't sleep last night either just thinking about all the plays, the positive plays, the miscues they had, especially for me personally, my turnovers I had late in the game. I've done that in a few games in the postseason that I'm not too proud about.
So I was going through a lot of plays and ways that I know what I can't do in Game 7 if we want to win another championship.
So, you know, everything goes through your mind after a game. It's usually the negatives more than the positives.
Q. LeBron, have you chosen to accept at this point that no matter if you win one title or a bunch more after last year, criticism is always going to be there and it's always going to be really intense when it comes to you?
LeBRON JAMES: Yeah. Yeah, it is what it is. That's okay. It won't stop me from loving the game, playing at a high level, doing it for my teammates, putting that uniform on.
First of all, I mean, I'm blessed, man. I don't even know how I got here. I wasn't supposed to be in the NBA, if you go by statistics and things of me growing up where I grew up. Every time I go into my locker room and see the "James" on the back of an NBA jersey, I'm like wow, no criticism can deter me from playing this game because of that. I'm not supposed to be here. The fact that I'm doing what I'm doing and doing it for my teammates, it's all that matters.
Q. You often speak of your knowledge and appreciation for history of the game. There's not many franchises in your lifetime that have gone back to back. Have you been able to avoid thinking about what that would mean tomorrow night?
LeBRON JAMES: I thought about it for sure. It's human nature. I want to go down as one of the greatest. I want our team to go down as one of the greatest teams. And we have an opportunity to do that.
Hasn't been many peoples to win back‑to‑back championships. It's so hard. It's the hardest thing. I said last year it was the hardest thing I've ever done, winning my first. Last year don't even come close to what we've gone through in this postseason and in these Finals.
So I'll be there tomorrow night. I'm going to give it my all. I'm going to leave everything on the floor. Whatever happens happens. I'll be satisfied with that.
Q. LeBron, first off, do you go back to the headband tomorrow or do you leave it?
LeBRON JAMES: (Laughing) I'll probably start off with it, man. A little superstitious. If it gets knocked off, then me and him will have a discussion if he will return.
Q. Obviously you're on the court playing, but do you sometimes get an appreciation for what you guys put the fans through from an anxiety standpoint?
LeBRON JAMES: Oh, man.
Q. A lot of fans left with 30 seconds left and tried to get back into the arena.
LeBRON JAMES: Oh, man, absolutely. I just know in my household, my wife was like, "Would you please stop doing that to me?" My mother‑in‑law, even my sons, they were like, "oh, my God. You guys lost and won at the same time."
I know. We know. I apologize to our fans from last night. But the game is‑‑ that's why the game is played all the way to zeros.
As a fan and people watching at home, I know it had to‑‑ wow, it had to do a lot to them, both if you were a Spurs fan or a Heat fan or just a general fan of the game. It definitely brought everything out of you that you probably didn't think you had.
Q. LeBron, you talked about it, everybody talked about how much more aggressive you were in the fourth quarter. And people say, why wasn't he like that in the first three quarters? Talk about your mindset in the game and answer that question.
LeBRON JAMES: I think opportunities are different from quarter to quarter. My opportunities were more open in the fourth quarter, and I decided to take advantage of it. I started off pretty aggressive last night. I was able to get to the free‑throw line early. I got a couple of lay‑ups. And then I started to‑‑ I got out of rhythm, missed a couple of lay‑ups, missed a couple of jumpshots. And offensively as a team we weren't good at all. Especially in the third quarter. So we were all out of rhythm.
But in the fourth quarter we were able to find a rhythm with that lineup we had. I was able to find a rhythm. And I was just trying to be aggressive and trying to will the victory for us to just keep our hopes alive. Like I said before, I'm just blessed I was able to make a few plays to help us keep going.
Q. LeBron, you can't control the opinions about this team, but just for you and what you set out to accomplish when you came here, do you need this championship in your mind to validate your guys' decision to team up and what you tried to create here?
LeBRON JAMES: I mean, I need it because I want it, and I only came here‑‑ my only goal is to win championships. I said it, this is what I came here for. This is what I wanted to be a part of this team for.
As far as validation of me being here, I don't really‑‑ I don't think so. That side doesn't really matter to me about what validates us coming together. The camaraderie and the friendship and the teammates and what we've done over the three years can never be replaced.
So for that side, no. But I want it. And I'm going to do‑‑ I'm not going to cut no corners. I'm not going to cheat the game. I'm going to work for it. We're not entitled to win it. We have to work for it. So that's what I'm here for.
Q. LeBron, you talked last night about you were going to go down firing all your bullets. When you're in a situation like that, how does the mode change? Is it like a switch, boom? And when you get in a mode like that, I imagine you feel that nobody can stop you.
LeBRON JAMES: Yeah. When you get into a rhythm, you do feel like you can't be stopped. I wasn't perfect last night. Like I said, I made some critical mistakes that I can't make again if we want to win. But for me when I go out and I play as hard as I played last night or I do‑‑ try to make plays what I feel is better for the team or what's best for the team, then I can always be satisfied with the results. I was happy with that.
Q. Also no road team has won a Game 7 in The Finals in 35 years. How much of an advantage do you feel now being at home in Game 7?
LeBRON JAMES: Hey, man, history is always meant to be broken or rewrote. So we can't worry about what the history books say. That's why it's history. We have to live in the present. We have to live in the moment. And we have to do whatever it takes to bring that trophy or to keep that trophy here in Miami.
Q. LeBron, given how important the next 30‑something hours are and what you know about yourself and what makes you at your best, explain how you will try to prepare yourself mentally for that moment so you are at your very best. Is it light‑hearted? Is it serious? Is it a combination?
LeBRON JAMES: It's going to be light‑hearted. I'm going to spend a lot of time tonight with my friends and family, like I always do the night before a game. We're going to laugh and joke about things that has happened in the past. Got a few of my high‑school teammates, friends, my best friends in town. My two boys are here. So they're not going to let me be too serious. They're going to make me watch Sponge Bob or something at 9:00. You like that? That little kid likes that.
It's going to be light‑hearted around the house, man. That's what keeps me‑‑ it keeps me‑‑ you don't want to think about the game too much. I understand it's a huge game. It's probably going to be one of the biggest games, if not the biggest game, of my life. But I'm going to just keep it the same way I've been doing, and tomorrow night I'll be able to focus in about on the job at hand.
Q. Will you play the game out mentally at any point between now and the start?
LeBRON JAMES: Oh, the game‑‑ absolutely. I imagine that if I fall asleep. If I get any sleep tonight, it will be played in my head, us winning. It's happened all postseason. While I'm up, I'm going to think about ways I can help the team, certain situations, certain plays that I can get better with.
I will play Game 7 in my head from now until tomorrow night. It's just who I am, how I am. But I won't be too serious. I won't go into a bunker when I get back home. But I will be mentally sharp, mentally focused and mentally driven tomorrow night.
And Im getting up better than last night (laughter).

Gluten-free products have been flooding the market, to the great benefit of people with celiac disease (gluten intolerance) or wheat allergies. A gluten-free diet is the only known treatment for celiacs, and in a food climate overwhelmed with processed foods, afflicted eaters have been forced to comb nutrition labels for any off-limits ingredients (e.g., maltodextrine, dextrose).
At least 1 in 133 Americans have the genetic disorder, and the demand for variety and clearly labeled products shows; countless delicious new foods have entered the market touting their gluten-free status (check out this list of available products, from breads and crackers to entrées and condiments). The Gluten Intolerance Group launched its first annual Gluten-Free Challenge weekend in May 2010 to build awareness of celiac disease, while some parents took it upon themselves to create delicious gluten-free snacks and ingredients: Dr. Lucy developed a line of cookies for her gluten-intolerant son (see foodspring's Q&A with Dr. Lucy); Kettle Cuisine founder Jerry Shafir began adding gluten-free goods to his line when his daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease (see Jerry Shafer's Q&A ).
A gluten-free diet doesn't have to be a bland one. Falafel Republic's gluten-, dairy- and soy-free falafel balls show that ethnic flavors aren't out of the question, and sweets are plenty accessible thanks to Donovan's Fudge, gluten-free baking mixes from sofi™ Silver Award Finalist King Arthur Flour and these other diet-friendly confections.
