Sarcastic...witty.....athletic......and ridiculous
About me huh lets see: Sooo pretty much I am fun, ridiculous at times, I am not a girly girl and I have a tendency to have a bit of a sailors mouth. So you should automatically want to hang out with me right? I definitely would not say that I am a shy/introverted person but I can say I have been told I am slow to warm up. I have a tendency to be very sarcastic and like to talk a little smack now and again......so if you don't like the witty banter I probably am not the right choice. Idea of a fun date would be trying new food I have not tried or a new restaurant I have not yet experienced.....good conversation a glass of wine or two and sharing laughs.......did I mention I love to laugh! I have an extremely soft heart for children who have gone through a lot in their lives...people often think I am nuts for being involved in the profession that I do and often can't believe that I have a master's degree in it. But its rewarding and I know I am doing good in the world and that's what should be important right?. Ok enough of that..... listed below are a few ways to describe me:) Honest, positive, open minded, blunt, I say what I mean and mean what I say, loyal, energetic, insightful, direct, confident, extremely loving but have a definite sassy side, in my head but can be completely in my heart, love with my whole heart and then some, true to myself, sarcastic, down to earth, easy going, would do anything for my friends and family, aggressive, athletic, a leader, a listener, don't let people walk all over me, love the water, warm weather and the outdoors like hiking biking and swimming, love a good challenge, fascinated with people and how they operate, extremely passionate about working with and helping at risk youth....most of all I want to leave this place a little bit better than it was before I was here. I'm looking for someone that's fun to chill with but who is also active, driven and down for whatever. I like people who are open, honest, ambitious, witty, sarcastic and humor is a must. I love other cultures and learning about them so its important that my partner enjoys that as well. I am a very open and optomistic person and I try not to judge others so being with someone who shares those same morals and values is a must. I'm looking for someone down to earth, easy going, kind hearted with a gentle spirit, athletic, loves to travel, loves the outdoors, and is willing and not scared to try new things. I'm not really into guys who are super aggressive and come on too strong. So if your chill and fun...hit me up:)
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Cycling, Dancing, Football, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a little doggie who is my right hand man. No I do not put him in my purse....but he does go on car rides with me. He is the coolest dog and has the funniest personality. So if you don't like dogs then we probably won't work.
I've traveled all over Europe...including Greece and Italy. I spent time in Costa Rica on two different occasions....absolutely an amazing beautiful place. I would love to eventually be able to travel to central and south America.
University of San Diego, San Diego, CA
Tapatio, basically anything spicy, 90's music, CHEESE (pretty sure I have an addiction), wine, earrings, coffee, Ace Ventura When Nature Calls (yes I will quote the whole movie), shoes, my pup, warm soup in the winter, the beach
Hmm lets see there are so many aspects of life that are amazing. I'll give you a few. Hiking, swimmming, snowboarding, wakeboarding, hanging out with friends and family, staying fit..I also love a great glass of wine and trying new foods.
Not going to lie here....Grad school ruined my passion for reading......something I should work on fixing for sure

Before committing to the European Voluntary Service (EVS), there are a few questions you should ask yourself:
Don't focus on a specific country, but rather on a region. Look at the projects from the perspective of what you want to learn. Remember: EVS is not a job or an internship, nor a work placement, humanitarian mission, language course or holiday!
What others say
"It was a challenge to move on to a foreign green and rainy country where I didn't know anything, not even the language. I am happy to realise that I made it. I even learned more than I was expecting. I was very free in my projects so I worked in different topics: being with the service users, organising activities and events, working with other volunteers, doing statistics, helping to update the website of the organisation, etc."
Agathe Friquet from France, was 22 when she participated in an EVS project from July 2010 to June 2011. She worked in the Backlane Hostel, one of the Depaul Trust's shelters for homeless people in Dublin (Ireland).
If you already have a project...
Gather all the information available about the country and the project, particularly if this is your first experience of living in a different country or if you are going to a remote location. Don't hesitate to ask the Sending/Receiving/Coordinating Organisations everything you are wondering about related to the project. If you need more information, try contacting your National Agency, the Executive Agency or the regional SALTO Resource Centres for Eastern Europe and Caucasus, the Euro-Mediterranean region, and South East Europe.

Historic 1861-O Double Eagle, AU531861-O $20 AU53 NGC. The 1861-O double eagles were struck under three different authorities, including the United States, the State of Louisiana, and the Confederacy. It is impossible to determine which entity produced any given coin, but the total production was 17,741 pieces. Nearly every surviving example is well circulated, although NGC and PCGS together have certified eight Mint State coins (8/09). A single AU58 example was recovered in the S.S. Republic treasure.
The second edition of Doug Winter's O-mint gold reference acknowledges the existence of a few Mint State examples, and comes to the conclusion that examples struck under the Confederacy are the few which show a bold date and an obverse die crack: "After looking through hundreds of auction catalogs ... I have determined that approximately one-fifth of the coins offered had a strong date and showed the obverse die crack. When one considers that the Confederacy is said to have struck approximately 17% of the original mintage figure of this issue (2,991 of the 17,741 struck this is almost exactly the percentage of the coins that exhibit the strong date with the crack. It is my belief that these are the coins produced by the Confederacy."
The typical 1861-O double eagle is poorly struck with considerable weakness, especially at the lower obverse, including the date and stars. Most examples have myriad abrasions and numerous deeper marks, including scratches and scrapes. The usual appearance is rich green-gold; most examples have below average eye appeal. These are all reasons to describe this example as atypical. While the strike is typical of most examples, with the bottom portion of the date showing considerable weakness, most of the stars are sharp, and the reverse is well-defined. The surfaces are remarkable, with few abrasions of any type, and clearly without scratches or scrapes. This example has vivid green-gold color with hints of lighter yellow, and considerable remaining luster. The aesthetic appeal is remarkable, making this an extremely desirable rarity.

Recipe by Annas Kuori
"This is the ultimate pasta dish - no matter if it's a casual weekday supper or fancy dinner party you're preparing it for, it is always delicious. The only way a fish-hating friend of mine craves to have salmon, too!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
10 ounces
salmon, cut into thin strips
leek, sliced
red onion, thinly sliced
1 clove
garlic, crushed
3/4 cup
light cream
3/4 cup
sour cream
1/2 tablespoon
2 tablespoons
lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
8 ounces
dry fettuccine noodles
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
This recipe was great. I had cooked salmon in the refrig from the night before so I made the sauce first and at the last added the salmon which I had flaked...Everyone loved it. Now I know what to do with leftover salmon. (It does need some salt added to the sauce.)
This was just ok for us...second salmon recipe that I have tried in a row that disappointed us. I followed this recipe exactly and didn't change a thing. The sauce was too thick and it didn't have very much flavor. Don't think we will make this one again. Thanks anyway for the post.
49 Ratings
We all thought this was very good. Even from my picky 11 yr old. It came together very easily. I used tomato basil linguine instead of fettucine, as other reviewers stated it was bland. I also added some salt to the sauce and a very small amount of sherry (after tasting per recipe). With those changes we loved it. Oh, I also used extra garlic (we love it) and less lemon zest. A very nice meal, but a little rich. I will make it again though.
Wow, this was great! I followed the recipe mostly, except not as rich. I used low fat on the sour cream and and 1/2 cup white wine instead of the cream. I also added salt. I was tempted to cut back on the black pepper, but the full 1/2 t. gave it some real zip. We all loved this and I will definitely make it again -- and for company. Served it with grilled zucchini and a spinach/mandarin orange salad.
The first time I made this it was surprisingly bland - considering the "heavenly" aroma from the ingredients while it's cooking. I also found it wasn't "saucy" enough but rather dry. However, something about it made me want to try it again, so this time I used 2 huge cloves of garlic, increased the cream and sour cream to 1 cup each and added a cup of fresh grated parmesan. It was better, yet still not as flavourful as I had hoped. But my 2 young kids ate it without complaint and I enjoyed it enough to finish my plate. I'll probably make it again sometime, maybe with smoked salmon instead of fresh and see if that adds to the flavour. Thanks for the recipe, Annas!
I has great potential, but as written it was not that great. The lemon gave it a weird taste! I would either cut it way down or omit it completely. The sauce was too thick with "stuff". I had to add more sour cream and cream (I used nonfat sour cream and non fat 1/2 & 1/2). I think I used 1 1/2 cups cream, and 1 cup sour cream. I also used 4 small cloves of garlic...should have used more. I topped it with smoked red peppers and tomatoes. I will definately try this again, but I'll have to tweak it quite a bit.
My husband has sworn off shrimp linguine, so this was a great substitute "fish with pasta" meal. I added some chopped asparagus to the skillet in the first step, along with some mushrooms. I also grated some fresh parmesan cheese, and added fresh ground peppercorns. Definitely a dinner we'll enjoy time and time again.
I had some leftover grilled salmon, but I used all the rest of the ingredients and it was just awesome. Now I can't wait to try it with fresh salmon. I also added fresh parsley and it gave it a bit of color!

Welcome to Around SPE, where we highlight the big news of the week from around the network in a format that's more than just a list-o-bullets. This week we're putting the spotlight on Android Central, which saw a fairly hefty redesign on Wednesday night. Search, registration, commenting, navigation, the whole shootin' match is all much improved.
We're also proud to announce that Android Central made a donation to Olin College to help students there develop mobile applications (with a special focus on Android, naturally). You can find out more information about the class here, or better yet -- go check out the applications already in development this early in the semester!
In Android news, we caught word that Amazon was selling the Black G1 for a measly $97.99. Then it got even better with Costco offering the G1 for $79.99, a whole $100 off! Why the discounts? Recession? Pressure from the HTC Magic? Finally, the long awaited Cupcake update is supposed to come to Android by April. Paid apps came to the UK Android Market. And we wondered whether the T-Mobile G2 (aka HTC Magic) was going to show up at CTIA.
Now for the roundup of the week's news from our other SPE sites!


text: Terrorism is a criminal act that influences an audience beyond the immediate victim. The strategy of terrorists is to commit acts of violence that draws the attention of the local populace, the government, and the world to their cause. The terrorists plan their attack to obtain the greatest publicity, choosing targets that symbolize what they oppose. The effectiveness of the terrorist act lies not in the act itself, but in the public's or government's reaction to the act. For example, in 1972 at the Munich Olympics, the Black September Organization killed 11 Israelis. The Israelis were the immediate victims. But the true target was the estimated 1 billion people watching the televised event.

Staples' energy management program is comprehensive, focusing on technological, behavioral and process-based solutions across our buildings and fleet. The goal is to advance energy reduction and the use of renewable and clean energy to reduce our carbon impact. We emphasize education and communication about our initiatives and actively engage our associates in our programs.
Staples has partnered with ENERGY STAR since 1999. A joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy, the ENERGY STAR program helps companies like Staples save money while protecting the environment through the use of energy-efficient practices and products.
Through aggressive goal setting; participation in the ENERGY STAR Battle of the Buildings and other initiatives, Staples is leading the charge for more sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
An energy reduction audit at our Coppell, TX fulfillment center revealed annual energy savings of 26% and a cost savings of 32%. Meanwhile, an audit of our Lincolnshire, IL facility has already yielded more than 20% energy savings (700,000 kWh) over 9 months.
As demonstrated by our increasing number of ENERGY STAR qualified buildings, Staples is committed to reducing energy consumption through our entire organization. Here are some of the measures we've taken:
We also run our energy audit program to identify energy reduction opportunities in our stores and distribution centers, focusing on lighting, battery chargers, conveyors, HVAC and our energy management system. This program actively engages associates with an energy savings ideas contest, posters and rallies with energy team members. In 2013, we performed 18 energy audits in our North American stores and distribution facilities.
While Staples' energy reduction efforts are contributing substantially to reducing the company's carbon footprint, we're shrinking that footprint even further by producing our own solar power, using fuel cell technology and participating in the EPA's Green Power Partnership.
Staples is a Shipper Partner of EPA's SmartWay program.
Staples is speeding ahead to improve our sustainable delivery practices. We electronically limit the top speed of our U.S. delivery trucks to 60 miles per hour and use idle management technologies to shut off engines after three minutes of idle time. Staples also has 53 electric trucks making deliveries to our customers in several markets. Electric trucks produce zero on-road emissions and significantly fewer total emissions when compared to diesel trucks. In addition, we continue to test new alternative truck technologies, like hybrids, CNG and advanced idle reduction. These and other initiatives have allowed us to improve our long-term fuel economy trend.
In 2013, Staples received the Pinnacle Award for Excellence in Commuter Options
Through our proven energy efficiency programs and renewable energy commitments, we are demonstrating tangible progress against our goals to improve our energy efficiency and reduce our carbon emissions.
From 2010 to 2013, Staples reduced our U.S. and global electrical intensity by 3.2% as a result of energy efficiency improvements. Our goal is to reduce the electrical intensity of our global operations by 25% by 2020 from a 2010 baseline. Although we are making good progress, this goal will remain a challenge given that we are using more technology within our stores (increasing energy consumption) while also shrinking store size (decreasing square footage).
globally (kWh/ft2)
globally (metric tons CO2-e)
Our investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy have helped us reduce our global carbon emissions footprint. In 2013, we were able to offset all of our emissions related to U.S. electricity through a commitment to purchase renewable energy certificates. As a result, our global carbon emissions have decreased by approximately 60% since 2010. See our Performance Summary for specific emissions information.
We recognize that we have achieved our goal as originally stated, and will consider updating the goal in the future if we continue to demonstrate these same consistently high emissions reductions.

Reds outfielder Ryan Ludwick is expected to miss at least three months because of a shoulder injury that required surgery. Ludwick dislocated his right shoulder while sliding into third base in Cincinnati's opening 3-1, 13-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. He had surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage. Manager Dusty Baker said Ludwick is expected to be sidelined for 13 to 14 weeks. The Reds called up Derrick Robinson to take his roster spot. The 25-year-old outfielder will make his major league debut. Chris Heisey, who has been a reserve most of his career, will get a chance to play left field while Ludwick recovers. He started 80 games last year at all three outfield spots. --- Follow Joe Kay on Twitter: http://twitter.com/apjoekay

The Future of Blogging: Stranger than Science Fiction?
May 21st
By Mars Dorian, {grow} Contributing Columnist
I'm currently writing a somewhat sarcastic sci-fi novel about bloggers in the future. It thrills me and makes my spine tingle.
The story is about the influence bloggers exert over their society, and the dangers that come with it. It also shows a power shift: when bloggers become one-(wo)man-media empires who can shape the opinions of masses, how long will it take until they clash with the government or corporate interests?
It seems like an outlandish premise, and most of the people I talked to seemed to agree.
When I told the story to a friend of mine, she cracked up and claimed it was over-the-top. She said bloggers would never gain that much power and would never find themselves in the crosshairs of the government or other powerful institutions.
Mr. Putin and the blogger crack-down
Unfortunately, the future may be bleaker than this sci-fi story. I recently met with a Russian blogger friend of mine who's been living in my hometown of Berlin for most of his life. He's considering going back to his motherland, but Putin's recent moves against the web scare him to his geeky core.
Putin claims the Internet is a CIA project created by America to control the world. He's also introduced a law that requires every Russian blogger with more than 3,000 daily visitors to register with the government, enabling authorities to shut it down in case of a "misunderstanding."
The government's reasoning? To ensure the "correctness" of the posted information. Obviously, you don't have to be a detective to decipher these clues: this "blogger law" is blatant censorship, forcing every blogger with power to play by Putin's rules or risk being shut down. I have to admit, this prospect is almost scarier than my sci-fi premise.
So what?
Now, you and I could say, "So what? It's Russia, we're living a fabulous, free life in the western world." No worries, right? Well, with net neutrality in the States saying its goodbyes, Internet freedom doesn't look much better in the West, either.
(In case you don't know – net neutrality means internet service providers must treat all online content the same, without favoring or blocking particular websites or applications)
The internet providers in power can throttle and boost online speeds to sites at will, meaning your site loading speed can be slower or faster depending on how much you pay the provider. Blackmail, anyone?
Netflix, for example, has experienced low internet speeds and has had to pay Comcast to stop the traffic jam. Once the payment had been made, speeds to the Netflix website increased by a whopping 65%.
Granted, Netflix is a corporation and not a single, influential blogger, but once the floodgates are open for corporations to favorite sites–or worse, block them entirely–what will prevent a corporation or government from going after you?
In a future where more and more careers depend on the web, a site shutdown could destroy one's financial destiny. It would certainly destroy mine.
I'm finishing up my sci-fi blogger novel and working with an editor as we speak. In the end, one blogger pays with his life for his influence, while the others learn life lessons that will haunt them for the rest of their (digital) lives. Sure, it's fiction and exaggerated in that regard, but pondering the examples I mentioned above shows we're not that far from a dystopian online future.
What about you? Do you fear the web's freewheeling days are over? Or is this my wild imagination creating a paranoid vision for the future of blogging?

Lifehacks for the Modern Marketer
May 20th
If I had a nickel for every time I heard this question … well, I wouldn't be rich (let's be honest) but I could probably treat you to lunch.
It seems that people have an endless curiosity about how I get things done. Tom Webster and I thought marketing lifehacks would be a very interesting podcast topic — and it was, because Tom and I had some pretty divergent views on tech solutions versus old-school lifehacks to manage a busy schedule.
Some of the topics we covered:
- Multi-tasking
- eMail management tricks
- Tricks to staying disciplined and focused
- When to out-source tasks and what to out-source
- How do you handle business upsets
- Dealing with the tyranny of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
- The "Swiss Army Knife" of marketing tools
- Productivity on the road
- Hacks for expense reports

Five important lessons on the economics of social media
May 19th
I would like to tell you a short story today about my friend Stanford Smith. If you hang with me through this little tale, I promise you'll see five important lessons about the economics of social media unfold. And then we'll discuss how you can make this work for you and your business.
A story at the heart of the economics of social media
Some time in early 2011, I started to see an increasing amount of activity on my Twitter stream that mentioned @pushingsocial. Intrigued, I clicked and discovered Stanford.
I watched his Twitter account and soon began to read his blog. I was blown away. This guy was one of the best writers I had seen on the web. He was also an original thinker who was effectively connecting the dots between an agency, clients and content. I wanted to get to know this man!
So, I called him up.
We hit it off immediately and I think we talked for two hours. He was more than a mysterious Twitter connection now. We were beginning to be friends.
At this point I was hiring my first regular bloggers to contribute to {grow}. Stan agreed to be one of my first contributors and penned dozens of posts that became some of the finest work on this blog. He blogged on {grow} for almost two years, the second-longest tenured blogger behind Mars Dorian.
The exposure Stan received through my blog helped pump up his presence and reputation. He was becoming a social media star!
One of Stan's dreams was to write a book. As I was working on Return On Influence, I got stuck on the difficult research about the history of influence marketing and thought of Stan. I wondered if he would want to help me on the project. He jumped at the chance and he got his first mention and credit in a published book in 2012.
The benefits grow
About this time, my publisher McGraw-Hill wanted a follow-up to the mega-hit book Tao of Twitter Could I write a similar small, helpful book on blogging? Stan had mentioned to me that he was thinking about writing a book on blogging but wasn't connected to a publisher. This seemed like a match made in heaven and we decided to write Born to Blog together.
The process of writing the book with Stan was one of the most pleasurable creative experiences of my career. Our working styles fit like a hand in a glove. We didn't always agree and we exposed our divergent views in the book, making it richer, honest, and human. It is now the best-selling book on blogging in the market.
As I was planning the 2012 Social Slam event, I knew I needed to have Stan on the stage. He volunteered his time for a chance to speak and appear on a panel. He was a huge hit — his first professional speaking appearance.
After our book came out, Stan decided to leave his agency and start his own business. I was able to funnel leads to him that turned into paying customers. I felt great that I was able to help him get some business traction in some small way.
This week Stan had me on his new podcast and we reminisced about how far we have come together in a short period of time. Here was a deep personal connection on display, two people who would support each other over a lifetime.
The business lessons of the economics of social media
This is more than a feel-good story about friendship and collaboration. It also illustrates important lessons about the dynamics of the social web, the economics of social media, and the measurement of social media success. Let's dig a little deeper.
1. The essential role of "rich content"
Sure, content is king on the web but not all content is created equal. Could this connection have formed through only a tweet, a Facebook post, or a LinkedIn update? Probably not. It was Stan's blogging that got my attention.
Through his blog I was able to learn about him as a man and as a business professional. I could see his powerful writing skills on display and gain insight into his values and experience.
To have the best opportunity for massive exposure and real connection (for an individual or a business), you need to generate at least one source of "rich content" — generally a blog, video series, or podcast. This becomes the fuel for the rest of your social media platforms.
Content is the catalyst to creating business benefits on the web.
2. The truth about weak links
One of the most misunderstood ideas on the web is that your audience equals power. It doesn't.
I have 90,000 real followers on Twitter. If I ask them to buy my new book through a tweet, how many will open up their wallets and do it? Probably none.
That's because most social media connections are "weak links." They are merely opportunities — doors to be opened — not real relationships ready to take action.
The true business benefits are created by doing the work to convert weak links into strong ones. I recently published a social influence case study where I raised $6,000 for a charity entirely over the social web. But nearly everyone who donated was somebody I had actually met in real life!
3. Networking as a human
The turning point in this story was my first phone call with Stan. Does it seem bold to you that I actually called one of my weak link connections? But making that human connection is the way business has been done for centuries. We conduct business with those who we know and trust and that is not likely to occur if we rely on Twitter alone!
So many businesses I see have created a digital divide between themselves and their customers. We need to remember that behind that avatar is a person who has the potential to have a deep and loyal connection to us. If you don't do the work and reach out, you may never discover that.
4. Beyond ROI, the economics of social media presence
Let's quickly list some of the business benefits mentioned in this short story.
- Exposure for Stanford
- Original content for my blog
- A publishing credit in Return On Influence for Stan.
- Research help on the book.
- A collaboration that led to Born to Blog.
- An opportunity for Stan to start his speaking career.
- A high-quality presentation for the Social Slam event.
- Customers for Stan.
- Exposure for my new book on Stan's podcast.
… And I could go on. Now look at this list and answer this question: How many of these important, tangible business benefits could neatly fit on a spreadsheet or pie chart? Not many.
My point is that benefits like "exposure," "new content," or "collaboration" are qualitative, not quantitative. I'm not saying don't measure, or don't drive toward ROI if you can. What I am saying is that if you don't also recognize the real qualitative benefits of the web, you could be missing important value!
5. Expectations and helpfulness
Another characteristic of this case study is that the business benefits accrued over years, not weeks or months.
This is such a huge problem for most businesses today — we manage toward quarterly goals. An economic platform built on relationships doesn't fit cleanly into that model, so somehow we need to adjust our expectations to fully grasp the opportunities.
One last point. I have had a long career in corporate sales and marketing. I had been conditioned to ALWAYS be selling and I've had to adjust toward adopting the mindset of authentic helpfulness. If Stanford sensed in our first phone call that I was "selling" something, would we have become friends?
For somebody who has grown up in a traditional sales role, it is pretty unnerving to stop selling and start helping. And you can't fake authenticity. You need to make that shift to "If I generously help people, the business benefits will follow."
Putting it to work
I realize this post has been on the "long" side so thanks for making it this far!
It is important for me to acknowledge that there are many, many economic benefits of company social media applications in customer service, sales, HR, research, compliance, purchasing and more. We have covered just one small sliver of social media economics today and yet, I think MOST businesses and individuals can benefit from the networking aspects of the social web.
I passionately believe that if you understand some of these economic drivers you can make these social media networking opportunities work for you and your business too.
Are you with me?

Why Instagram is becoming the dominant social network
May 16th
I am regular on Mitch Joel's blog and when he says a a video is "must-watch," I listen to the man.
I haven't posted an external video on this blog in years, but I think this content is definitely grow-worthy because it forces you to look at our online world through a new dataset, a new lens, that is quite thought-provoking and perhaps even disturbing.
The speaker in the video, Scott Galloway has a think tank called L2 and is also a marketing professor at NYU Stern. In this fast-paced talk he uses his research to make predictions on who is winning and losing in everything from social media and retail to brands and world economies.
In particular, I loved his insights on:
- Data declaring that Pinterest has been "blown off the road" and Instagram is emerging as the most dominant social platform on the planet.
- Why Tumblr is a clear "loser" (worst investment in the past 10 years?) and Twitter is taking too long to become a visual platform.
- China's first world brand.
- An unexpected prediction about Apple and evidence that shows it is poised to be a "luxury brand."
- Detailed views of an emerging Amazon strategy that is poised to shake the online world … but not necessarily disrupt brick and mortar stores.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. There is lots of mind-blowing stuff here and I would love to hear your take on it in the comment section!

Rahul takes on his rivals in Amethi; questions source of funds for Modi's campaign
After days of campaigning by sister Priyanka Gandhi in Amethi, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday addressed the voters in the region for the first time after filing his nomination papers. The Gandhi scion continued his attack on BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi, and took on his rivals, claiming they would never be seen after polls.
Without naming Smriti Irani or Kumar Vishwas, Rahul slammed his rivals, saying "people come and go, but I will give my whole life to Amethi". He said that his opponents would not be seen in Amethi even a day after the polling was over. "Only Sonia ji, Priyanka and I will be there for you," he said.
Attacking BJP and Narendra Modi over election expenditure, Rahul alleged that corporates were pumping money into the saffron party's campaign and asked it come clean on the source of funds.
"They (BJP) do politics of two-three corporates as they gift them 'mota paisa' (hefty money). From where is the money for big cutouts and posters coming," Gandhi, who arrived in his constituency for a two-day campaign, said at an election rally.
"Please ask BJP where do they get crores of rupees for such posters. Is it Modi's money?…. They ask us why we give free money to poor through MNREGA, food guarantee scheme. Poor does not get free money. They work for it whereas free funds are given to Adani," he said.
"I am not against corporates. But they should be given facilities following rules and regulations. In Gujarat, it was Adani who is getting facilities and not the poor", Gandhi added.
He further accused the opposition of indulging in politics of anger and hatred, pointing that he "never gets angry" as he believes in "politics of love". "Did I ever get angry or abuse anyone", he said addressing voters in Amethi.
During his speech, Rahul again raked up the Modi-Adani row, accusing the Gujarat Chief Minister of giving to the industrialist more than what the UPA had spent on MNREGA. He also alleged that BJP's prime ministerial candidate plays politics for selected industrialists. "On the other hand we want to benefit all industrialists", he said further.
Describing the elections as a fight between two ideologies, Gandhi said that while Congress wanted to take Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians along, the other side was stoking politics of "anger".
"Their (BJP) leaders used to criticise, abuse and keep poor at bay while we (Congress) talk of unity and to take country forward," Gandhi said. "The difference it that they want to keep the ATM with themselves, while we want to give the ATM to the poor", he added.
"They want to create a divide between Hindus and Muslims and want to see them fighting. They want brother …continued »

Existing payment systems are by no means the only culprit standing in the way of sustainable, high quality healthcare systems. Yet the incentives that these systems generate are powerful and, if not properly addressed, we can expect little progress to be made.
Most importantly, we must now move away from searching for 'value' within the boundaries of traditional healthcare organizations. In an age where long-term, chronic disease and coordination of multiple conditions is the number one challenge, the 'acute hospital' as the epicenter of the healthcare system simply no longer fits. Indeed, high quality, low-cost healthcare can only be created by redesigning care from the patients' perspective, focusing on self-management and (secondary) prevention rather than intervening when the damage has already been done.
Although most of these programs do not properly address the limitations of their underlying payment systems, pay for performance programs are showing that it is possible to both reduce costs and improve quality. In the quest for 'bundled payments' that cross organizational boundaries and 'accountable care organizations', health systems are now looking for the next step forward: paying for outcomes rather than activities; paying for value rather than reimbursing costs.
The Holy Grail of contracting value is not as unreachable as was once thought. By taking a few core principles at heart, the seemingly insurmountable complexity of the issue is reduced considerably. A few core categories of care products or health services can be distinguished which capture most types of patients' problems, and for each category, it is rather clear what types of outcomes matter most. We can cost these pathways, and using smart combinations of administrative data, patient reported outcome measures, clinical registries and so forth, we can actually measure outcomes quite powerfully.
With these principles, contracting value is no longer just theory. More often than not, large steps can be made towards this goal, whatever current payment system or performance measures are currently in place. Ultimately, the choice is simple: if we do not embark on this road, the only way to prevent costs from exploding further is by reducing access, or blunt cost cutting. In both cases, health outcomes will suffer. The paradigm is already shifting.

Chris Ruddick, MLB Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
We are now two weeks into spring training, and all-time home run king Barry Bonds is still looking for a job.
There have been a few nibbles, but nothing seems to suggest that Bonds will be showing up in a major league camp anytime soon. Heck, his agent has even floated Japan as a possibility if something can't be worked out over here.
While I am not sure how viable an option that is, it just goes to show you that the interest is clearly not there in the majors.
From a pure baseball standpoint, Bonds can help a team...well, an American League team, anyway. Despite missing nearly 40 games last year, Bonds hit 28 home runs in 340 at-bats. Even at the age of 43, there are still few figures, if any, who are more intimidating at the plate than Bonds.
Other than that, he would be a welcome addition to any club.
The Tampa Bay Rays are reportedly kicking around the idea of signing Bonds. I guess it makes sense for them, to a degree. He will sell tickets, that is for sure, and in case you haven't noticed, there are plenty of empty seats inside of Tropicana Field, where the Rays averaged just 17,148 fans last year.
By all accounts, though, Tampa is a team that could be on the rise thanks to young players such as Scott Kazmir, B.J. Upton, Carlos Pena, Carl Crawford, and Evan Longoria. There is an abundance of wealth in their farm system as well.
Do you really want to bring Bonds in and disrupt all that? Chances are Tampa is still a few years away, and when they do start winning, Bonds will be long gone.
Is one year of ticket sales worth all the extra nonsense that may come with it? Absolutely. Potential only goes so far. You have to bring the fans in first, and Bonds will do that.
I don't think Bonds' ego would let him sign in a place like Tampa anyway, so its all probably a moot point. But he may have no other options.
If he was smart, Bonds would sign with any team that agrees to take him. Tampa, Florida, Minnesota, St. Louis, wherever. Go and be a good little soldier for a few months, do and say the right things and most importantly, stay healthy.
If you do that, some contender in the AL will trade for you at the deadline. Can't you just picture Bonds in Yankee pinstripes? I can't believe that hasn't happened yet, to be honest.
Let's be real here. Bonds' days in the field are numbered. He can't move around out there on a daily basis and expect to stay healthy. His knees just can't take it. The National League really can't be an option. He has to sign in the AL and be a designated hitter.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim always made the most sense to me. Vladimir Guerrero has been begging for a big bat to protect him, and they don't get much bigger than that of Bonds. But Angels' owner Arte Moreno just hasn't showed any interest.
Obviously, the perjury and obstruction trial is weighing on a lot of team's collective minds, but that whole process is moving along at a glacial place. It is not happening anytime soon, and it is not going to take place during the season. That recently unearthed typographical error surrounding the date of his failed steroids test all but ensured that.
Either way, though, there is going to be a team that is going to take a chance on him. Maybe it will be Tampa, maybe it won't, but I will bet you dollars to doughnuts that Bonds will be playing on a major league team at some point this year.
Bottom line is, Bonds can still play. Plus, you would think any team that signs him is going to be getting Bonds on his best behavior, as he tries to redeem whatever is left of his once-Hall of Fame legacy.
I think it is a chance worth taking.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sara Kimberley, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 31 March 2011 10:50AM
The agency won the account following a final shoot-out against Tesch, which launched last year in London.
Dare, Poke and Dentsu London had also been invited to pitch for the business, but were eliminated at an earlier stage of the review process, which kicked off in February.
LBi will handle the digital duties for the Xperia range, including the new Play handset, as part of a wider brand awareness campaign.
The agency is expected to work with Sony Ericsson on a move away from promoting the functionality of the handset to focus on building a brand for Xperia.
Sony Ericsson unveiled its Xperia Play in March, a smartphone designed specifically for gamers, which which draws on features from Sony's PlayStation console. It debuted at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and will be available from next month.
