|Though not a well-known name today, Pop Lloyd was a trailblazer in the world of baseball. The great Honus Wagner said, "It is a privilege to have been compared with him." This work looks at the life and career of John Henry "Pop" Lloyd, who played in the early Negro Leagues and went on to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In an era when players could easily become a kind of commodity for their teams, Pop Lloyd worked hard to retain his autonomy, refusing to agree to a binding serve clause.
From the Publisher:
"John Henry "Pop" Lloyd was one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived. Beginning his career years before the first Negro National League was established, Lloyd played for a dizzying number of teams, following the money, as he'd put it, throughout the country and sometimes past its borders, doing several stints in Cuba"--Provided by publisher.

SOCIAL MEDIA PR POWER GUIDE A Busy PR Pro's Handbook for Increased Visibility through Social Networks, Self-Publishing and New Media Social Media • Corporate Blogging and Micro-Blogging Blogger Relations • Podcasting and Vodcasting • Corporate Web Video RSS • Search Engine Marketing • New Media Resources Directory Directory of Top Bloggers • PR Case Studies in New Media A Special Report from Bulldog Reporter SOCIAL MEDIA PR POWER GUIDE A Busy PR Pro's Handbook for Increased Visibility through Social Networks, Self-Publishing and New Media Everything practitioners need to know about: Social Media Corporate Blogging and Micro-Blogging Blogger Relations Podcasting and Vodcasting Corporate Web Video RSS Search Engine Marketing By Richard Carufel with Megan Cassidy Welcome to the Revolution in PR Technology: Yours for the Seizing Some are calling it PR 2.0. Like the coinage Web 2.0, it implies that we've just now reached the second iteration of our application. I like that image, because public relations is indeed undergoing a profound, qualitative transformation. New technologies—like social media, blogging, search engine marketing, corporate video on the web, and RSS—are changing the very assumptions that PR people have made for generations about their craft, particularly about media relations. It's as if somebody rubbed the magic lamp, and the cyber-genie leaped out and gave us the power to create our own media, publish and broadcast our own news, address our customers and prospects directly, have one-on-one conversations with customers day and night, and listen in on clients as they talk among themselves about us. This dramatic expansion of PR capability obviously opens up tremendous opportunity for us as a profession. In some ways, it's a new world. But there's also the real and imminent danger that PR will fail to seize this magical new power.We didn't, for example, take control of the corporate website, as we rightly could have. Now we have to be content with the single button on the corporate homepage called ?Newsroom,Ç and most PR departments don't do a very impressive job even with that scrap of responsibility. If public relations practitioners do seize this day, we can have it all:The CEO (or engineering or customer service) blog, the corporate podcast and online video program, an RSS feed to all our shareholders, a customer bulletin board, and a press release read by more information-seeking citizens than if it had been picked up on the front page of The New York Times. This handbook is a tool for helping you exploit these new technologies. It's a concise, passionately practical guide that in just over 100 pages lays out the current case for blogs, podcasts and online video, SEO and RSS, and social media. It also gives you up-to-the-minute instructions for the most effective and most cost- effective methods and resources for putting these technologies to work. Finally, it's an excellent, high-level resource for explaining to your senior management what this brave new world is all about . . . and why they will want to devote significant budget to it. Because you're reading this handbook, it's obvious you're committed to taking advantage of the professional bounty laid before us. I wish you luck as you pursue these new technologies and as you help define their optimal usage. Please continue to let us at Bulldog Reporter know how we can help you continue to stay on top . . . how we can continue to help you succeed.

Not since the halcyon days of media, when Woodward and Bernstein catapulted the importance of journalism to an unprecedented level—and inspired a politically and socially concerned new generation to foray into the suddenly glamorous profession—has the voice of the people been so resounding.With more than 50 million people actively using these tools for business and pleasure, the full impact of digital media on the communications industry is yet to be fully known. But thanks to a wealth of undeniable benefits—with immediacy, visibility, and, for better or worse, credibility topping a virtually endless list—nowhere will this impact be felt more than in the PR profession. The public relations industry has a huge opportunity to become the champion of this new communications channel. In fact, PR pros have to take the plunge and become crusaders for this endeavor."In many ways, we missed the boat on Web site businesses and a whole industry grew up around us.We've adapted to it, but we missed out on our chance to take the lead," says Makovsky & Company president Ken Makovsky, who also authors the "My Three Cents" blog (http://three- cents.blogspot.com/)."But now we have a content-focused communications channel that we really need to become crusaders for.We have an opportunity to be in the vanguard." "It's the true fulfillment of public relations," he adds."And being an advocate and a champion of this approach is going to be extremely fulfilling—both for companies and the audiences they're trying to engage with." But this golden opportunity does not come without a price. Namely, PR pros must do what was previously unthinkable: relinquish control of their craft—especially when engaging in the explosive blog community, which has morphed into a communications universe all its own: the blogosphere. Opportunity: PR is poised to take the lead in integrated marketing Luckily for the public relations industry—which has been built on the foundation of credibility that new media embrac—this consumer-fueled communications channel provides a picture-perfect opportunity for traditional PR to expand into a messaging force far more powerful and influential than advertising. "Corporations have to realize that customers are already talking about them in blogs," offers Peppercom managing partner Steve Cody."They're already talking about the company, the service and the products.When they're done right, blogs enable a company to join the discussion. But based upon what we've found and 1 who we've surveyed, a lot of companies aren't doing it right—they're putting out what is little more than brochureware.The big risk is rushing headlong into blogging and podcasting and other new media without thinking through the image and reputation implications." The ad industry is inherently hamstrung by its inability to impact reputation and image, thanks in part to the ingratiating reluctance with which consumers now respond to that group's one-way delivery vehicle. Nevertheless, there's often competition, to an extent, between the marketing side of the house and the PR side. But PR professionals are in an excellent position because they have always been great storytellers who educate people. PR pros are telling, not selling.That is a key component on the Web—especially given the user's control over the medium. "Public relations does have a tremendous opportunity to really lead the discussion in the digital area because of our reputation and image credentials," adds Cody. But don't get the wrong idea—traditional marketing is not going away by any means. If you think about the traditional marketing channels that you use today— whether it's advertising, direct marketing, promotions or publicity—they are as much a part of an integrated marketing mix, versus solely what this new medium offers.Traditional marketing offers awareness. Blogging provides you with credibility—and you should look across the whole spectrum before you launch and make sure that one lines up with the other. Takeaways: How are new media altering consumers' dissemination of news? This changing landscape is having an incalculable impact on PR in particular because media consumers—the targets of most PR campaigns—are becoming more sophisticated. Regardless of the form your media outreach takes, consider the following points: 1. News consumers have become more c ynical and distr usting of spin "A key fundamental shift is how audiences are expecting to be communicated to, and that's what's most important to understand when you're getting into blogging and podcasting,"offers GM Director of Global Communications Christopher Barger. (http://www-03.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/)."The traditional broadcasting messages—the traditional means of doing PR—aren't necessarily as trusted anymore. Consumers don't necessarily buy corporate spin, and they don't want to hear corporate messaging. People want to hear conversations involving real people, talking like real people talk," he asserts. That's best accomplished in a medium built around new media such as blogging, podcasting and social media..Those are just details.The bigger point, or the bigger thing to keep an eye on, is the shift in audience expectations and how they want to be communicated to. 2. Message control has shifted to consumer s—and away from PR "If we ever did have control of the message, we certainly don't now," says Holtz 2 Communication & Technology principal Shel Holtz, who also pens the "a shel of my former self" blog (http://blog.holtz.com/)."The audience is in control of the message and the only way we are going to wield influence through communications is by participating and engaging in the conversation.That is one of the most fundamental notions of blogging.A blog is not just another channel through which you can talk down to an audience from the summit—it's a channel that allows you to participate in the conversation," he says. "Tied to that, you have to be monitoring the blogosphere and engaging in blogs where your organization is mentioned," Holtz adds."It doesn't have to be your own corporate blog—you can participate in other blogs. For example, when Dell announced its widespread battery recall, we had Dell representatives participating in blogs that have been discussing it—very effectively, too." Although it's true that blogs are largely a personal medium so far, this is changing quickly. It's certainly a heartier B-to-C medium today.The B-to-B marketplace is developing much more slowly, but it's developing—and any company that chooses to not get involved does so at its own peril. 3. Content is still king—but accessibility is media's new emperor User-generated content is only as good as the information you relay and how easily you make it available to your audience. So this paradigm shift is more about making the information available to the audience in a very concise, easy-to-use and digestible way—and blogging, podcasting, video casting and other new media meet that criterion. 4. New media call for relationship-dr iven outreach and sharpened reactions "We're no longer in the luxurious world where a story breaks and it becomes tomorrow morning's news," offers Communicano, Inc. founder Andy Abramson, who authors the "VoIP Watch" blog (http://andyabramson.blogs.com/voipwatch/). "Consider what I call the five Cs: community, content, commerce, communication and continuity. Blogging, podcasting and video casting all provide you with the ability to be more intimate with—and more responsive to—your audience," he says. "We're now in a world of what I like to call FedEx journalism, and in order to be responsive to the needs of the community, meaning your audience, you have to be able to provide that information before or immediately during the time the news breaks," adds Abramson."Sometimes these stories break without anybody on the PR team or even management knowing, and they're forced to respond after the fact. But in order to respond appropriately, you have to have the tools, the tactics and the techniques available to you." "The old-school paradigm was likely price, place, product, and promotion, which are the four Ps of marketing,"Abramson continues."Everything always fell into the promotional mix—but that has changed radically. New media tools change the whole paradigm of relying on other people to tell your story.They allow you to tell your story better, and to be a part of the whole citizen journalism or populist journalism movement going on out there." 3 Therein lies the importance for PR—message marketing to audiences of all kinds is on the verge of a revolutionary sea change. In many cases, people don't even know they're reading blogs— they just want information. So far, the impact has been tremendous yet subtle."There are a lot of surveys about who reads blogs, and I would maintain that most people don't know they're necessarily reading blogs," asserts Shel Israel, who writes the "ItSeemsToMe" blog (http://seems2shel.typepad.com/)."They go to Google searching for something and, because of how search works, blogs get more prominence on any topic before a traditional static website does. People go there, they get the information they want, and they might even keep coming back to it.They may have no clue that they're on a blog." Nevertheless, a new breed of information consumer has emerged.There's no doubt that certain industries and cultural niches are experiencing much of the overall effects of blogs as of 2009. If your client works in technology, either personal or enterprise computing, blogs are important. If your customer is in politics, it's obviously extremely important. If your customer is a use market, blogs are extremely important. If your customers are middle-aged and you're not talking about something that's particularly connected to politics or technology, blogs are something you want to keep your eye on, but they may not be your biggest priority—at least not yet. Embracing the blogosphere: Key benefits for your company Recognize all that blogs can do for your company or client by considering these benefits: 1. Blogg ing allows you to engage your c lients and customer s in a two-way dialogue The dialogue that new media allow between messenger and audience represents both the virtually unlimited opportunity and the most harrowing challenge for PR pros, because it necessitates keen brand awareness—of the good and the not-so- good. "We're transitioning from a way of thinking that was traditionally one-way story- telling—packaging a message and getting it out in a one-way manner," says Paul Torrey, former president of sales and new-product development for On the Scene Productions."All of these newer emerging technology opportunities are distinct opportunities to facilitate a dialogue, versus the old way of thinking, which is one- 4

Dressy Bessy, Lilys, and Silver Scooter
Maybe it's the Decembral thinning of the desert air, or maybe I just can't handle my Mickey's Big Mouth the way I used to . . . but whatever it is, these three EPs are going a long way toward buoying my spirits through the cold winter weeks, and so I'm recommending them to those among you who suffer from seasonal depression around this time each year.
Get away from me with that straitjacket. I'm trying to tell you that Dressy Bessy is a Denver-based band whose The California EP is a hilarious send-up of all that fun-fun-fun, sock-hop hamburger-stand foolishness that is, at least along one trajectory, the excruciating legacy of California pop. Tammy Ealom's voice careens and bubbles all through the disc on songs like "California," "Hangout Wonderful" and "In the Morning," the guitars jangle and arpeggio on every track, and the sheer unrestrained joy on this disc -- no ballads, no downshifting, just five straight sunshiny ditties -- sends a boot up the ass of the winter doldrums, in a really friendly way.
Occasionally, the exuberance threatens to overshadow the simple conceit of the record, and every now and then Ealom's voice is way off pitch, but even these moments come off like a consciously hyperactive parroting of bright West Coast girl-band pop, and in the end I don't even care whether it's meant as a straight-up homage or a clever evisceration, either of which The California EP might actually be. Whenever I hear Dressy Bessy's surf's-up cuts, I think about Denver buried under 16 feet of snowdrifts, and the weirdness of it all hits me, and I laugh until my sides hurt. Sum of comment: Great record.
Crunchier than Dressy Bessy is Philadelphia-by-way-of-Boston musician Kurt Heasley, whose studio project Lilys recently dropped Selected, a five-song disc of unreleased or much-bootlegged material. The opener, "The Any Several Sundays," is a gritty but melodic number borne aloft on '60s Brit-pop electric runs (think the first incarnation of the Animals), while "Peerless," a noise-guitar workout, manages to wrap scratchy guitar work in a decidedly cohesive melody. A new version of the Heasley-penned "Touch the Water," first recorded by Apples in Stereo in 1996, submerges the vocals beneath a guitar-drum-and-backing-vocal onslaught that renders it nearly incomprehensible; but somehow the whole comes together, so that by the time you get to the chorus, "He's not a kid anymore," it seems to be all you need to know (but also check the totally unexpected atonal guitar solo, à la "I Heard Her Call My Name," near the song's end). Fuzztone guitar and high-end drums abound on this release, which is upbeat for all the right reasons, in all the right places.
And apart from having the best band name in the clutch, Austin's Silver Scooter and its goodbye EP might have the most consistent sound of these three recordings. "I want to live in another town," Scott Garred sings on the disc's title track; "I'm not original/Or even typical." Well, true on both counts. Silver Scooter's sound comes off like a kinder, gentler Vaselines, layering Garred's innocent voice with worldly lyrics, echoing guitars and a rhythm section as firm as it is understated. Running only four songs, it's short even for an EP, but each song is a tight little gem. Silver Scooter has been labeled "dork rock" for its earnest sad-sack material across two full-length albums, and goodbye EP certainly does nothing to dispel that characterization. But if nothing else, this very brief peek at its third album (The Blue Law, slated for February release) shows that the band's got more than a mopey worldview to draw from; Silver Scooter's only getting more musically competent, which means it's getting more musical, period.
Three short, sharp releases by three good bands. Maybe these aren't the end times after all.

Interfaith dinner breaks bread, cultural barriers
Event unites religions
After nearly 12 hours of refraining from food and drink, Muslims across Memphis broke their fast Wednesday night with their Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Jain and Buddhist neighbors and more.
As the sun dipped beneath the horizon, nearly 300 people feasted on a buffet of curried vegetables, flatbreads and kebabs.
In its second year, the interfaith dinner was hosted by the Muslim Society of Memphis to celebrate iftar, the evening meal to break the fast, held every night during the holy month of Ramadan.
"I think it's wonderful," said R.H. "Dino" Palazzolo, a Catholic Italian who came out to the Esplanade banquet hall in Cordova on Wednesday night. "If this was implemented in the world, we'd truly have peace."
Elbow to elbow, women draped in head covers and others in saris conversed with men in skull caps and western apparel.
Alim Khandekar, with the Muslim Society, has been behind the growing interfaith gathering.
He organized the first one last year after a national call to all faiths to hold a day of fasting to try to end the violence in Iraq.
But the society decided to keep it going because of an overwhelming interest in the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.
"Ramadan stimulates a lot of discussion," Khandekar said.
As guest speakers from a local Jewish temple, a protestant church and an Indian temple spoke of the spiritual aspect of fasting in their own faiths, a list of Ramadan facts circulated through the crowd.
Rabbi Micah Greenstein of Temple Israel, who was also a guest speaker, said people hear reports about "radical Islam" but they don't know the heart of the Muslims in their own community until they meet them.
"They're brothers, our partners in faith," he said.
Because Memphis has a small-feel community, it's the perfect setting for interfaith dialogue, he said.
Non-Muslims were invited to join in the Maghrib prayer, one of five daily prayers recited at sunset.
Besides religious leaders, other notable Memphians shared in the interfaith evening, including Shelby County Sheriff Mark Luttrell and My Harrison, FBI special agent in charge of the Memphis field office.
Ramadan is the perfect time to address cross-cultural understanding and break down religious barriers, said Rashad Sharif, imam of the Masjid Al Mu'minum mosque.
Although eating a meal together is a small step, Khandekar said, it's a starting point.
"The first thing we have to do is be comfortable together," he said. "I think people left with a little more comfort in their hearts."

Ramadan Facts

Fasting runs from sunrise to sunset each day for the entire month.
All adult Muslims must fast. Those who are ill, pregnant or nursing are excluded.

Looks like the church is covering for the city staff. After the Downtown Alliance came out with its statement about how the EIR didn't include the church's expansion plans, I'm betting somebody at the city called the church and asked them to put out this statement. With a wink, the church was probably told that they can bring back their expansion plans after the dust settles. Hope the Almanac or Daily Post dig deeper into this story. Sounds fishy to me.

I have two classes:
Teacher and
Coordinator extends
Basically I wanted to make an instance variable that could take in either a
Teacher instance or
Coordinator instance.
I know this is easily possible by just writing
Teacher exp = new Teacher() or
Teacher exp = new Coordinator(), however when I do this, I am only able to access
Teacher methods and properties when I apply
new Coordinator() or
new Teacher() to the reference variable which is normal. My question is that is there another way where I only use one instance variable that can be assigned to Teacher OR Coordinator objects and use this variable to call any property/method of the object that was assigned to the object reference variable?

For when reality just can't cut it
If we learned one thing from the guy who played Counterstrike with a steering wheel, it's that some ideas are so barmy that they almost make sense.
Was it bound to happen?
Not sure we can say the same for the pair that snuck a concealed Oculus Rift and laptop onto a roller coaster – so they could simultaneously run a virtual version of the same ride… in space
Using a virtual recreation of that exact roller coaster, the aim was to create an Oculus experience that would perfectly align with the physical feedback. No, we're still not getting it.

my rabbit monroe & i were on porch i was trying to get his picture but he got mad adn gave me this look.
When we first brought our kitty Squid home, we put him in the cat carrier for the car ride. I don't think I've ever seen a kitten so angry! He attacked the bars until I let him ride on my shoulder inside my jacket, and he was content the rest of the ride. Ever since, he seems to spend most of him time on my shoulder or my husbands.
