NBC aims for ratings revival with new programs
This week concludes our ongoing look at fall TV lineups, and we wrap things up with NBC.
Like its competitors, NBC has a broad lineup ready for this fall, and new owner Comcast has invested in new material to bring the flagging network back from the brink of disaster.
Twelve new shows — including a drama set in the 1960s called "The Playboy Club," a new newsmagazine show to be hosted by "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams, and a heavy new slate of comedies — along with some old favorites are being called upon in an attempt to raise NBC's profile back to the glory days.
Here's a look at what's new in dramas:
n "Prime Suspect" — Based on the critically acclaimed British television series of the same name, this police drama stars Maria Bello as a tough-as-nails New York City homicide detective.
n "The Playboy Club" — Set in the 1960s, this show takes us back to a time and place that challenged the social mores, where a visionary entrepreneur created an empire and an icon changed American culture. Stars Eddie Cibrian, Amber Heard and Laura Benanti.
n "Smash" — This one is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire — to be stars of the stage. Debra Messing stars.
n "Grimm" — Did you ever think anyone would ever do a TV drama based on Grimm's Fairy Tales? Well, that's what this one is, and it's definitely different. David Guintoli stars.
n "Awake" — Jason Isaacs stars as a detective living a most unusual double life, which starts when his family is involved in a car accident. Isaacs' character is plunged into not only a new reality but a fascinating alternate one as well.
n "The Firm" — For fans of John Grisham, this one is based on the novel of the same name, and it looks like a real winner.
And in comedies, NBC is cooking up the following new ones:
n "Whitney" — Touted as "a hilarious look at modern love," this comedy stars Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia as a happily unmarried couple.
n "Up All Night" — Stars Christina Applegate and Will Arnett as a couple facing the challenges of balancing a career, marriage and a new baby.
n "Free Agents" — Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn star as public relations executives on the rebound.
n "Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea" — Laura Prepon stars as a 20-something bartender, a strong-willed force of nature who is determined to live life to the fullest and make no apologies.
n "Best Friends Forever" — This single-camera comedy look at what happens when best friends promise to support each other, no matter what the cost or circumstances. It stars Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham.
Some familiar shows also return, including "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (which will do so without Christopher Meloni, who played Detective Elliot Stabler), "Harry's Law," "Community" and "Parks and Recreation," among others. "30 Rock" won't be back until the midseason changeover because of star/creator Tina Fey's pregnancy.
In local broadcasting news this week:
Kincaid, Westrich take 105.3 slots
With the upcoming departure of Joe Blair from Superhits 105.3's morning show later this month, the station has named Blair's successor. Johnny Kincaid, currently the station's afternoon drive host and program director, will take the helm of the morning show.
"It's impossible to replace Joe," Kincaid said, "but I'm looking forward to the opportunity to do morning radio again." Kincaid was morning host on WKDQ and then the former WJPS from 1985 to 1995. Kincaid's move from afternoons to mornings means that another position needed to be filled, but a man familiar to longtime Tri-State listeners will take up that shift as well. Dave Westrich, who stepped away from radio 20 years ago to become a teacher, will take over Kincaid's afternoon spot. Before embarking on his education career, Westrich worked at WKDQ and WGBF.
Wevv to be Fox44, expects deal with dish
WEVV has unveiled the new logo for its new Fox channel, and the channel's name has been made shorter than originally announced. It will be called "Fox44," the name that WEVV used from 1987 to 1995, when it became a CBS affiliate.
"(W)e felt it was necessary to utilize 'Fox44' instead as a means of bringing everyone back home to the original Evansville Fox affiliate," said Eric Stremming, WEVV's creative services director, "especially since the Fox44 brand was and still is very recognizable in this market."
The new Fox44 will go live on July 1, and while most cable and satellite carriers have reached agreements with WEVV to carry it, Dish Network has not yet come to terms. But WEVV General Manager Tim Black is optimistic.
"We expect to have that deal wrapped up by July 1."
News 7 gets Emmy nominations
While there is uncertainty about some things at WTVW (as well as a name change for the station's newscasts from "Fox 7 News" to "News 7"), there is one thing that hasn't changed: The station's news department continues to rack up accolades for the quality of its reporting.
The latest recognition of this came last week, when the nominees for the 47th annual Ohio Valley Emmy Awards were announced in Terre Haute. Ind.
News 7 came away with two nominations. Former reporter Michael Chesney (who now reports for a Michigan CBS affiliate) and photographer Brian Cissell were recognized in the category of General Assignment Report — No Time Limit for their report entitled "Kalab's Legacy."
Lead anchor Randy Moore was nominated in the Writer — News category.
WTVW, as it has been for the past few years, was the only Evansville station with nominations this year.
The awards ceremony will be July 30 at the Seelbach Hilton in Louisville, Ky.

We have recently released the early DRAFT scenario outlines of our Visual Studio 2010 Architecture Guidance project to a small community of rangers and product group members, with the intent to get early feedback and especially warning signals if we are straying off what is perceived as important to "you". We are not ready to share the guidance on a broader scale, but would like to share two of the diagrams which are becoming the base foundation for the guidance … your candid feedback will be highly appreciated as usual.
Note that we will inject colour into the final diagrams … the monochrome look and feel adds a pinch of nostalgia and mystery to the diagrams :)
… shows the core scenarios and suggested extensibility scenarios.
… a suggested materialization map.
Also make sure to explore these two extension nuggets for Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, both of which will be used as part of the guidance:
Comments? Feedback? Please send us your thoughts so that we can align ourselves with your expectations and ensure maximum value add.
It would also be nice to see exactly how this maps to the roles in the teams and also how this fits into the MSF for Agile, MSF and Scrum processes.

In the maelstrom of oil price news, has bias triggered trading mistakes? Petrodollars

US steel welcomes the dawn of a new era of protection

With the Confederate flag coming down or off the shelves in many locales as well, last week was watershed week in US history.
To American steelmakers, these historic developments may pale in light of the industry's own achievement: a legislative change that encourages it to file more unfair trade cases.

PDVSA's operational decline mirrors decline in employee benefits

The decline in employee benefits at Venezuela's state owned PDVSA is the latest sign of the crisis being experienced by the country's oil sector, which is under pressure from the drop in oil prices, declining output, industrial accidents, as well as by hyper- inflation suffered by the country.
Bragging rights: So who is the world's top oil producer?
By Robert Perkins | June 30, 2015 12:01 AM Comments (3)
Earlier this month, BP's latest Statistical Review unintentionally reopened a debate into whether the US has regained the crown as the world's top oil producer after decades of being out-gunned by Saudi Arabia and Russia.
Ostensibly a straight-forward measure of which country tops the leaderboard on oil output, BP's widely-read yardstick has the US eclipsing both Saudi Arabia and Russia for the first time last year since 1975. Fueled by booming shale oil, BP said, US oil output hit 11.64 million b/d last year, a narrow but decisive margin over Saudi Arabia's 11.51 million b/d.
The devil is in the detail, however, and BP's numbers raise the long-standing and slippery issue of what actually counts as oil.

Gimme some sugar: Looking for some sweet news for one of agriculture's cornerstones
By Tim Worledge | June 26, 2015 12:01 AM Comments (0)
There's a war being waged that you can't fail to have noticed. The focus is an allegedly addictive white powder that has been with us for centuries, but is attracting ever greater ire from politicians, governments and health campaigners. For some producers active in the industry, many of them based in exotic locations like South and Central America, they are unaccustomed to such attacks, and are struggling to counter the bad press and occasionally hysterical calls to stamp out their industry. And it's all coming at a time when business just isn't as profitable as it used to be — and there's precious little sympathy on show.

In another study being presented at the same meeting, Japanese researchers found that inhaled N-acetylcysteine (NAC) preserves lung function in some people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, when compared with people given no treatment.
"This novel study provides encouraging evidence to pursue the potential of an efficacious treatment with NAC for patients with the early stage of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis," lead researcher Dr. Sakae Homma, a professor of respiratory medicine at the Toho University School of Medicine in Tokyo, said in a news release from the American Thoracic Society.

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2008 July-August Baltimore, MD (ANA) US Coin Signature Auction.
Its rarity was well known at an early date in American numismatic history. For example, in a little known, four-page July 1858 publication by Joseph J. Mickley titled Dates of United States Coins and Their Degrees of Rarity, the author says the 1796 half dollar is "Rare" and the 1797 "Very Rare" (Mickley employed a three-point scale to denote the degree of rarity of all U.S. gold, silver, and copper coins between 1793 and 1858--Common, Rare, and Very Rare). And in one of the first books on numismatics written in America, American Numismatical Manual by Dr. Montroville W. Dickeson (1859), the author says of the 1796 issue: "They are rare" (Dickeson was apparently unaware of the 1797 half dollar, for he makes no mention of it).
Empirically derived evidence of the awareness of the 1796-1797 half dollar's rarity in the earlier stages of American numismatics is gleaned from auction prices realized in sales conducted during the 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s. The 1796-1797 half, along with various early cents, the 1802 half dime, the 1823 quarter, the 1794 dollar, and a few other issues, consistently ranks among the highest prices realized for regular-issue U.S. coins in early auction sales.
About Uncirculated 1796 15 Stars half dollars in general, and high-end AU coins in particular, such as the AU58 PCGS offered here, are far and few between. Indeed, NGC and PCGS have, to date, certified seven 1796 15 Star halves in AU grades, only two of which rate AU58.
Light to medium steel-gray toning, imbued with occasional blushes of sky-blue, graces both sides of this near-Mint example, with brighter undertones evident as the coin is rotated under a light source. Close inspection with a loupe reveals some faint die polish lines, particularly on the obverse. A well-executed strike imparts sharp definition to the design elements, especially Liberty's hair, ribbon, and drapery, and to most of the star centrils. Strong detail is evident on the eagle's wing and tail feathers, while those on the breast and legs exhibit the usual weakness. The motifs are well-centered, and all of the dentilation shows. A few light adjustment marks on the eagle's lower torso and legs and the clouds are not at all detracting. We mention some scattered marks that are consistent with light circulation. Two to the right of star 2, and a few more on the forehead and in the field to its right, serve to identify the coin.
The die crack from the rim at 5 o'clock branches to the left and to the right through the drapery. This crack, which is visible on most known 1796 15 Stars half dollar specimens, is finer than seen on most examples. Moreover, while the right-branch crack shows a faint extension to star 15, it does not travel through stars 14 and 13 to the edge, as seen on most coins of this issue. A faint crack also runs from the upper upright of the second T in STATES through the tops of ES, and then nearly to the O in OF.
This is a wonderful Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar example that will delight the new owner.
Ex: The Douglas L. Noblet Collection (Bowers and Merena Rarities Sale, 1/1999), lot 4; The Richard Genaitis Collection (Heritage 2001 Atlanta ANA, 8/2001), lot 6090. (PCGS# 6057)

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Bush Gets in on the Action
I guess the former president felt a little left out by all this "Obama-Osama" stuff. So he turned a local Sizzler Steakhouse into his own personal "National Address". Miss him yet?

For those wondering what recently killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden did to pass the time at his secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, we may have an answer.
According to the NY Daily News (via CNN), small crops of marijuana were found in the deserted lots on the compound's perimeter.
That was the actual headline, before someone at MSN changed it to the more PC "Study Links Obesity and Sex Issues". I'm assuming that someone complained. I realize that it's a "weighty" issue. Pun intended
Twitter has seen some zany faux-accounts lately, including a NY Bronx Zoo snake escapee, Adolf Hitler and some random guy's liver.
So when Osama Bin Laden rose from the dead and began tweeting via numerous accounts on Sunday night, it was only a little strange.
Mostly, though, it was funny.
A late-night announcement made from the White House's East Room on Sunday set the world aflutter, and news of the death of Osama bin Laden quickly spread across the globe.
President Barack Obama announced Sunday night that bin Laden had been killed and his body taken into U.S. custody in Pakistan.
Word of the death of Al Qaeda's leader quickly spread, and politicians, celebrities and athletes began releasing statements while crowds gathered across the country in celebration of bin Laden's death.
Most people watching 'ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball' game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets knew that the reason the crowd suddenly erupted into cheers was because they had just found out Osama Bin Laden had been shot dead by American special forces.
The players on the field, however, had no idea. "I really didn't understand what was going on there for a minute," said Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee, whose team wound up losing 2 to 1 in 14 innings.
Newspapers across the country reacted to the demise of Osama bin Laden on Monday morning, with front page headlines from the triumphant (Newark's "Star-Ledger" quotes Obama's speech with "'Justice Has Been Done'") to the minimal ("Dead," the "Boston Herald" and many others plainly state) to the profane ("
Now that Osama (Usama) bin Laden has been killed, the FBI has updated its Most Wanted Terrorists list, officially marking him as "DECEASED."
Nine other terrorists remain on the list, including bin Laden's deputy, Ayman Al-Zawahiri.
The FBI also updated its 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list to reflect yesterday's news.
Check out a direct look at the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists list after the jump.
The world was brought to a standstill late Sunday evening when President Barack Obama confirmed that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had been killed by U.S. operatives in Pakistan.
Americans quickly gathere
In a stunning development, President Barack Obama confirmed late Sunday evening that Osama bin Laden, the leader of terrorist group Al-Qaeda responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, was killed Sunday in Pakistan.
Obama made the announcement in a televised address shortly after 11:30 PM ET, about an hour after reports of bin Laden's death had made their way onto the Internet.
Millions of PlayStation Network users got the scare of their life yesterday when Sony announced that their personal information, including credit card data and billing addresses, may have been stolen by a hacker.
On its company blog page, Sony said that it believed an "unauthorized person" obtained information from its 77 million-strong user base -- everything from names, to addresses to birth dates.
Also at risk: users' credit-card data.
Although a federal court judge lifted the NFL's 45-day lockout on Monday, players who showed up at their teams' training facilities were hardly welcomed back. Just check out this confused & angry player on the video.

Does the World Bank have a sense of humor?
Perhaps the title is a rhetorical question, but I felt obliged to ask it after seeing the latest parody of a World Bank initiative.
Perhaps the title is a rhetorical question, but I felt obliged to ask it after seeing the latest parody of a World Bank initiative.
The first day of this year's Financial and Private Sector Development Forum is about to wind down. I had the opportunity to attend several fascinating discussions, including:
Does Haiti (or Chile) need a Marshall Plan to help recover from the ruins of natural disasters? How has the War on Poverty progressed in the United States?
The World Bank's new chief economist for Financial and Private Sector Development, Asli Demirgüç-Kunt, has entered the blogosphere with the new All About Finance blog. In her first post, Asli considers whether the financial crisis ought to make us consider turning bureaucrats into bankers. She responds with a resounding "no"!
Bloomberg has announced that the worst is yet to come for the euro, thanks to ongoing Greek woes.
The last time I discussed Greece was in this post last November:
Picking up from yesterday's microfinance discussion, let's have a look at what's happening in Kenya.

Recognising the Land Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Rural Communities
Williams, Rhodri C., Forced Migration Review
Current global trends are putting increasing economic pressure on land and natural resources, raising the risk that new waves of internal displacement may be caused by the combined forces of climate change and large-scale investment in agriculture.
When the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement were adopted in 1998, some of the Principles were relatively progressive in their recommendations, choosing interpretations of international law that reflected best practice rather than universal practice at the time in order to encourage effective state responses to displacement. Among these, Principle 9 was innovative in setting out an obligation to prevent displacement by protecting the rights of those most vulnerable to the loss of their land: "States are under a particular obligation to protect against the displacement of indigenous peoples, minorities, peasants, pastoralists and other groups with a special dependency on and attachment to their lands."
In practical terms, such protection implies state recognition and protection of the land tenure rights of indigenous peoples and rural communities. However, international law at the time only tenuously supported such measures even in the case of indigenous peoples, who most clearly fit the criterion of 'special dependency on and attachment to their lands'. The main source of legal support for Principle 9 was the International Labour Organization's Convention No. 169 concerning indigenous and tribal peoples, which required signatories to "respect the special importance for the cultures and spiritual values of the peoples concerned of their relationship with the lands or territories".1
Since the adoption of the Guiding Principles, support in international law for indigenous peoples' land rights has proliferated. Perhaps the most significant step was the 2007 adoption by the UN General Assembly of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states that such peoples "shall not be forcibly removed from their lands or territories" barring their "free, prior and informed consent" as well as fair compensation and the option of return, wherever possible.2
At the regional level, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has issued a consistent line of decisions during the 2000s requiring recognition of and respect for indigenous peoples' land rights. In early 2010, many of these judgments were referred to by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, when it issued a groundbreaking decision requiring Kenya to restore land taken from the Endorois people nearly forty years earlier. The terms of this decision imply that the 'particular obligation' to protect such groups from displacement referenced in Guiding Principle 9 may require state recognition of ownership of land in practice: "The African Commission notes that if international law were to grant access only, indigenous peoples would remain vulnerable to further violations/dispossession by the state or third parties. Ownership ensures that indigenous peoples can engage with the state and third parties as active stakeholders rather than as passive beneficiaries. …

Jeremy Lee: What exactly is the root cause of Arena Media's brain drain?
By Jeremy Lee, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 01 November 2012 08:00AM
For an agency that was born on the same tide as PHD and Manning Gottlieb OMD, Arena Media - formerly known as Booth Lockett Makin - has had a slightly different route to shore.
While PHD and Manning Gottlieb both sold to Omnicom relatively early in their distinguished histories, the BLM partners continued to fight the good fight as a media independent for 18 years until Havas wrote it a cheque for £20 million in 2008.
During this time, BLM proved itself to be, in some ways, smarter than many of its competitors with the creation of the pioneering digital specialist Quantum in 1998 that blazed such an early and important internet trail. Incidentally, its experiment with the launch of a creative agency, Flint, proved to be less successful.
The partnership between Steve Booth, Nick Lockett and Charlie Makin engendered great loyalty from its relatively small but nonetheless perfectly formed client list. In short, it was a nice and interesting business - so little wonder that a holding company would eventually come up with a cheque large enough to convince its founders to sell.
Now that Lockett and Makin have left the agency to spend more time with their money, the likeable Booth is the one constant - alongside Pedro Avery, its brooding and combative former head of trading-cum-managing director. For the rest of the agency, there seems to have been substantial turmoil of late.
In a recent interview filmed for Campaign's sister website Mediaweek.co.uk, Avery spoke of his pride on the agency winning a gold from the IPA for its talent management programme. Quite right, too - everyone likes winning awards and it's nice to be recognised.
But it was nonetheless unhappy timing that he chose to trumpet this achievement in the same week that Arena's chief operating officer, Pippa Glucklich, decided to up sticks and take up the managing director role at Starcom. It was even more unfortunate still when you consider that Glucklich is the fourth senior executive at the agency to depart this year, having only been in that role for a few months.
Glucklich replaced Paul van Barthold, who left in March; its chief strategy officer, Dan Clays, left at a similar time to join OMD as the managing director; and its head of planning leaves later this year. The only person who seems to have come in through the revolving door is the clever Justin Gibbons as the creative director.
So many senior departures so soon after gaining accreditation for the apparent development and retention of talent is not an encouraging sign. If you get gold for such a wholesale decimation of the management board, what do you need to do to win a Grand Prix?

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
From staff reportsFor the second straight season, Clayton State sprinters Brian Etelman and Eric Simmons are headed to the NCAA Division II Outdoor National Track & Field Championships. Both Etelman and Simmons were selected for the national meet in Abilene, Texas on May 25-28, after qualifying in the 200m and 400m events, respectively. Etelman will enter the 200m race with the event's eighth-fastest time and Simmons will compete in the 400m with the 11th fastest time. Etelman, a junior from Marietta, qualified for the meet with a school record time of 21.08 earlier this season at the Georgia Invitational in Athens. Earlier this year, he provisionally qualified in the 200m at the 2005 Indoor NCAA Division II National Championships in Boston, and competed in the 60m at the indoor nationals. A sophomore from Carrollton, Simmons is competing in the 400m at nationals for the second straight year. He qualified for this year's meet with a school record time of 47.12 at the Georgia Invitational. Last year, Simmons placed 16th in the 400m as a freshman. Both Etelman and Simmons along with teammate senior Carlos Guyton were members of the last year's All-America 4x400m relay team that placed sixth in the country at the 2004 national meet in California. Clayton State had two other runners in Guyton and freshman Allison Kreutzer hit NCAA national meet provisional standards this season, but neither was high enough on the list to make the national meet. Guyton provisionally qualified in the 200m and was 30th on the list, only to have 24 runners selected. Kreutzer qualified in the 3000m and was 22nd on the list, only to have 16 runners picked. Clayton State's appearance in the 2005 national meet marks the fourth time in the last five years that the eight-year program has been represented at the Division II National Championships. Last year's sixth place finish by the 4x400m relay team is the highest finish for Clayton State at the outdoor national meet, while Guyton placed fourth and was named an All-America in the 400m earlier this year at the 2005 indoor national meet.

Event Marketing
All marketing should feel like a special event to your prospect.
But by 'Event Marketing' we generally mean an event set to a specific date.
- Online it may be a webinar, teleconference, or product launch.
- Offline it may be a TV broadcast, a radio broadcast, a private event reported in the media, or a public event open to ticket holders or general public.
Core components of Event Marketing include:
- Lead Generation and Event Inquiry
- Event Registration
- Event Attendance
- Post-Event Follow-Up
I'm going to show you some logic-diagrams I used for a financial services clients live in-person events. The first diagram was created to get conceptual agreement with the client on what we generally needed to do for creating high interest in the existing financial trading events in London.
The diagram reveals that we had 2 key 'Desireable Effects' to achieve the main desireable effect of High Event Interest:
- High events opt-in rate – i.e. we want lots of people to register their interest for our events
- High events list open rate – i.e. we want to keep their interest so they open our event promotions
The 'Actions' in yellow show the projects used to achieve those desirable effects.
(See my page on Constraints Management for detail on how and why these logic diagrams are so 'awesome' for marketing management).
Here are some more of the logic diagrams used to plan the event marketing campaigns.[private_free]
Event Inquiry / Lead Generation

Web-form Event Registration

(click image to open the full diagram)
Event Attendance
Your prospect must schedule the time in his diary and if the event is a live event, he or she must travel there. Therefore you must pile on enough value to make your prospects time and trip worth while.
Of course, key to event marketing is building enough percevied value for the prospect to show up.
Beyond the normal objection handling done of any purchase offer is the objections surrounding time and travel.
If you're planning an event and need to write compelling email messages to get people to register and show up, you can check out my copywriting page (opens in new window).
Post-Event Follow-Up
What variables for post-event experience do you want to prepare for, so that leads are funneled into appropriate post-event follow-up contact lists..
(click image to open the full diagram)
Event Marketing Metrics and Development
Metrics and survey questions you may want to collect for prospect profiling when marketing your events:
- Number opened account – conversion rates
- Number no-shows – non-attendance rates
- Did the Event leave any particular questions unanswered for the prospect?
- Would the prospect recommend the event to others?
- Distance traveled by the prospect to reach the event?
- If not opening an account now, what is the prospects intended next steps?
- How did the prospect learn of the event?
- What specifically did the prospect want to attend the event for?
- When did the prospect register to attend (may reveal trends in attendance given amount of lead-time before event)
- Subject knowledge – how much does the attendee know about the event subject matter already?
Answers to these kinds of questions will help evolve the marketing communications and event topics for increased conversion rates.
See the Copywriting page and Email Marketing page for specifics on how to engage Event prospects through your messaging.

The Utah Jazz are much better at home than on the road, but visiting the Portland Trail Blazers may help them pick up a victory away from Salt Lake City. The Jazz make a brief stop as a visitor as they try to sweep this home-and-home set with the Trail Blazers and run their series winning streak to six games Saturday night. Utah (26-21) averages 100.5 points while going 17-5 at home, but is not as effective on the road, compiling a 9-16 record with 95.8 points per game. Thanks to a home-heavy, 12-game portion of their schedule, the Jazz have built some impressive momentum. They're 6-2 over the first stretch, dropping their lone road game. After visiting the Trail Blazers, Utah opens a three-game homestand against Sacramento on Monday. The Jazz's success at home continued Friday, when they beat the Blazers 86-77 while holding them to 36.7 percent from the field. However, the venue hasn't made much of a difference against Portland (23-23). The Jazz have won 10 of the past 13 mee...

Blake Griffin still is limping with his sprained right ankle and it will be a game-time decision whether the Clippers forward plays Game 6 against the Grizzlies. Griffin walked off the court carrying a bag of ice once Friday's shoot-around opened up. He later returned and sat on the opposite side of the court away from reporters. Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro says Griffin will warm up to see how effective the forward can be after spraining his ankle Monday. Griffin didn't play the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's 103-93 win by Memphis, and the Grizzlies lead the series 3-2. Chris Paul had tape wrapped round his bruised left thumb, and the Clippers guard says he will be better by tipoff. His treatment? Praying over his thumb.

5 Thoughts - BCS Championship
Ohio State 24
Ohio State
2008 CFN BCS Championship Preview
BCS Championship Stream of
Consciousness Quarter By Quarter Game Notes
2008 CFN BCS Championship
Unit Breakdowns & Analysis
2008 BCS Championship History, Each Team's Best Bowl Moments, & More
1. Don't
disparage LSU by saying it was SEC speed and athleticism over a slow
Big Ten team. This was a very good, very healthy team that proved it
was the best team in America with great execution on both sides of
the ball after giving up an early 10-0 lead. The offense might have
taken its foot off the gas in the second half, and the defense had a
few struggles, but in the end, LSU beat a terrific Ohio State team
38-24 to show it was more than just a collection of athletes. This
was a great team. Ohio State also has great athletes, plenty of
speed, and tremendous NFL prospects up and down the board. It also
got beaten, outcoached, and outplayed. There was nothing fluky about
this, there shouldn't be a mental asterisk in the minds of those who
think Georgia or USC deserved a shot at the championship, and
there's really no debate. Fully healthy, Glenn Dorsey was just one
of the Tigers who said time and again that he felt night-and-day
better than he did several weeks ago, this was the team that
dominated Virginia Tech early in the year. This was the team that
everyone thought had a great shot to be playing for the title from
the word go. This was the best football team in America.
2. It might be painful for Ohio State fans right now, having lost
the last two football national championships and the NCAA basketball
title in the last 365 days, but there's certainly hope for next
year. Remember, this was supposed to be a rebuilding season for a
team that lost almost all its offensive stars from the juggernaut
that got to the 2007 BCS Championship game, and now it should come
back roaring with a team deserving of being ranked in the top five
in America to start 2008. As always, there will be a slew of early
defections to the NFL, but most of the offensive line will be back,
Chris "Beanie" Wells will be back as one of the leading Heisman
candidates, QB Todd Boeckman returns, top targets Brian Robiskie and
Brian Hartline should be back, and there's only one senior on
defense. LB James Laurinaitis, DE Vernon Gholston and CB Malcolm
Jenkins are as good as off to the NFL, but Ohio State reloads
defensively. Schedule-wise, there are road games at USC, Wisconsin
and Illinois, so while that might look daunting, wins in those three
games will certainly spark another run for a national title game.
3. The perception is that Les Miles can't really coach Xs and Os.
The perception is that he's a lot of personality, coaches from the
gut, and was blessed by a heater of a team handed over from the Nick
Saban era. For all the goofiness and all the hullabaloo about the
Michigan situation, it's time to give the guy his just due as one of
the best coaches in America, and not just a caretaker. Remember, he
had to deal with the Hurricane Katrina situation, somehow managed to
keep the team focused and together, and led the way to an 11-2
season complete with a Peach Bowl win over Miami. Last year his team
rolled to a Sugar Bowl win over Notre Dame, and now he has a
national title while going . 3-0 in bowl games, his LSU teams have
won three elite games by an average of 40-14 with three straight
two-loss seasons. While Saban had to pull the program out of
doldrums, he only had one year with fewer than three losses, and
that includes the season after winning the 2003 national title.
Miles is now 34-6 in three years with a national title. Of course,
now the pressure is really on. Restock the shelves, keep the
juggernaut rolling, and do it again. No pressure there.
4. So where does LSU go from here? It's not like the SEC is going to
run away and hide with Florida and Georgia likely to be top five
caliber, and LSU will have to face both teams from the East
including a trip to Gainesville. There's also an early trip to
Auburn. However, the rest of the slate is more than manageable with
the only other road game at Arkansas and the non-conference schedule
nothing to worry about. Team-wise, the offensive line will be great
again, the receiving corps has playmakers, and the backfield is
beyond loaded with everyone but FB Jacob Hester coming back,
including Ryan Perrilloux, who appears to be more than ready to take
over for Matt Flynn under center. The defense will be the issue. If
the players expected to leave early are all gone, that means as many
as eight starters might have to be replaced. That might be just
enough to take a wee step back in the always great SEC, be 10-2
again, and still be one of the elite of the elite teams.
5. For those who want a playoff, here's your closer argument:
Pittsburgh, and the SEC's performances in national championships.
Let's say West Virginia comes back late and pulls off the win over
the Panthers. That would've meant a Mountaineer-Buckeye national
championship and LSU would've been in the Sugar Bowl. Let's say
Missouri beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game, then LSU would've
also been in New Orleans playing in a non-national title game. When
Les Miles and his players talk about a bit of divine inspiration,
that might be stretching the laws of the spiritual world, but they
certainly got the right breaks (and don't forget the leapfrog in the
polls over Georgia).
Last year, it took a USC loss to UCLA for Florida to play for the
national title. Tennessee was unbeaten when it played for the 1998
national championship, but over the last 12 years, the SEC has had
four other national champions and each needed help to back into a
title shot (1996 Florida needed Ohio State to come back late to beat
Arizona State in the Rose Bowl and 2003 LSU got into the title game
over USC in a controversial BCS poll). The SEC has to get the
benefit of the doubt at every turn after proving itself worthy
whenever it's gotten the chance. The league doesn't lose national
title games (1995 Florida being the last one). So there's how you
win the debate. How many other national champions have we missed out
on because the breaks didn't go the right way? What would Auburn
have done in 2004 if it had gotten in over Oklahoma or USC? Let the
debates continue.
