PR is Sales is Marketing is Advertising
The lines are blurry. As a communicator you are usually selling something – an idea, a story, an interview to the media, a budget, a campaign. To close on that effort – to get the story, win the account, score a larger budget – is a similar feeling your Marketing counterpart has when her campaign idea is approved or when a customer buys the product based on her messaging. And the salesperson down the hall from you? He is always prospecting, aims to be in front of clients or at least on the phone with them, understanding their pain points and their spending limits.
These three levers of Communications – PR, Marketing, Sales — are at their best when they're working together, not separately. Most practitioners and strategists agree with the premise, but the underlying pain points, frustrations, budgetary constraints, conflicting goals may stop the three from even wanting to work together. I've posed the question in a previous post, Will PR and Marketing Get Married One Day? A lot of you responded and as a whole we're in favor of this matrimony. But how about we go on a few dates first?
The best communicators will be the ones who have a firm grasp on Marketing, who partner with Sales to help close business, and who are pushing for consistent messaging across this spectrum. If you shy away from Sales or snub your nose at Marketing (that department that steals some of your budget), then you will be OK, possibly. That is to say, you can get by. But to be an extraordinary communications executive you need to spend some time in their shoes. Here are three easy things you can do in the next 30 days to narrow the gap and broaden your organization's (and your own) opportunities:
Lead a Sales Call: Try to sell something to a client: ask your sales dept if you can sell your company's service or product to one prospect. Set up the appointment, do your research, lead the meeting, close the business, send out the proposal, wait for the signature. Sometimes you'll be waiting longer than expected for a signed contract and that's part of the process and why the rewards taste so sweet.
Be a Marketer: Sit in on Marketing meetings and listen without your PR hat on. Understand how they measure success and manage budgets. Ask to work on a campaign in which you need to partner with the PR team. It's not always easy to collaborate and see the other side. As a marketer, you may want to spend more on b-to-c advertising while PR is pushing for a media relations push with the trade press. Find common ground and share in the hits and misses.
Break Bread & Barriers: Set up monthly Integrated Communications Breakfasts. An early morning meeting of the minds where you are fresh and prepared could work wonders. Share current initiatives, report on performance of campaigns, ask for help and guidance. This will increase transparency and lead to more collaboration.
There's nothing like coffee and bagels to smear away the friction that exists when three departments are used to eating alone.

This One Simple Question Can Transform Your Business Relationships
The moving company that assisted with our house move last week sent us a hard-working crew. Hauling boxes and furniture to and fro, they didn't spend much time chatting, but when they did they usually framed it in a question: "How am I doing?"
When Danny, the head mover, first asked me that question I thought he was asking how I was doing. After all, moving out of a house is stressful! Then I realized he wanted to know if he and his crew were meeting my expectations. Were they careful, efficient, polite? Danny wanted this feedback. He stood in my kitchen holding a big box labeled "Dishes," and looked me in the eyes as he awaited my reply.
"How am I doing?"
After hearing from me that he was doing a great job, he and his crew continued the laborious task ahead of them. A few hours later, Danny asked me the same question and this time I thought harder about it and provided some specific feedback having to do with not scratching a certain wall. Over the course of this 10-hour whirlwind round-trip relationship we had with our movers, "How am I doing" was asked at least a handful of times.
In the course of a week, a month, a year, how often do you check in, one on one, with your customers, business partners, clients, journalists, colleagues and stakeholders and as them "How am I doing"? We are more accustomed to asking "How are you?" then we are "How am I doing?" It seems the former is more about them and the latter can appear self-serving or insecure. But what you're really asking is "Are you satisfied and can I do better for you?" Of course, you have to be prepared to heed the feedback, which is sometimes not what you expected. That's the point – and it's well worth the heavy lifting afterwards.

Would You Like Ice Cream with Your Omelette? How to Surprise, Delight and Build Loyalty
It's not every day that you get a free scoop of ice cream with your bacon and eggs, unless you're eating breakfast at Lou Mitchell's. The iconic Chicago diner has been surprising first-time customers and delighting return diners with this extra touch. When the waitress handed me the check, then asked if I wanted some ice cream, I looked around as if I had won the lottery. The last thing I really wanted was ice cream after a hearty breakfast but I didn't realize how much I loved being surprised by the offer.
Surprise: it's surprisingly powerful!
When was the last time you offered your brand's version of ice cream with breakfast? When you provided an unexpected benefit or show of appreciation for your stakeholders, be it a customer, a reporter, an employee, an investor, a client? Even the most beloved brands shouldn't assume they are good to go with their customers, who are just a click or step away from turning their attention to your competitor. MasterCard is just one of many smart brands employing "surprise and delight" to build customer loyalty. Through its "Priceless Surprises" campaigns, cardholders have randomly received a gift, such as a meeting with Justin Timberlake, and are encouraged to send surprise gifts to friends and family (using MasterCard).
When Tania Luna, co-author of "Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected," keynoted our PR News Digital PR Conference earlier this month in Miami, attendees expected her to talk about how to communicate via surprise tactics given the name of her new book. What the audience didn't expect was to be handed a pack of Pop Rocks and asked to place the fizzy crystals in their mouth and create a symphonic sound with fellow attendees, with Luna as the conductor. "At the count of 3, this side of the room should start swirling their Pop Rocks in their mouth," Luna instructed. Amazingly, the attendees exploded with glee and there was a communal sense of pleasant surprise at the activity, the nostalgic quality of Pop Rocks and the silliness they found themselves in. They weren't expecting this activity at a PR conference. Surprise!
In a recent interview with PR News' Steve Goldstein, Luna offered 9 surprise tactics and implored communicators to remember that acting human is different than being human. She suggests that communicators "scriptease" to build trust with stakeholders, especially with the media. Put your scripted pitch aside and just have a conversation with the reporter like you would with a friend.
And never stop surprising and delighting: To wit, if you're waiting in the long line at Lou Mitchell's or as you're leaving the restaurant, there's an endless bowl of fresh donut holes for the taking. Just another way for this brand to sweeten the experience.

How Can PR Pros Build a Digital Business With 2020 in Mind?
It seems like every day communicators are confronted with a new marketing discipline/media channel/social platform that management wants them to master ten minutes ago. The pace of change is only expected to accelerate in the next few years, as digital media starts to eclipse traditional media.
While PR pros can be forgiven if they think that planning for the next six months or a year will suffice, they have to play longer ball and try to look further into the future. Their brands and organizations depend on it.
During PR News' Digital PR Conference in Miami on Monday, senior communications managers tackled the subject of how to build a digital business with 2020 in mind.
"Moving into 2020, connected individuals are becoming more and more important to every organization out there," said Allison Sitch, VP of global public relations at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. "The idea of connection is to understand what people are talking about and then bring in those influencers who are valuable to your organization."
Throughout the next five years, PR managers will also need to empower their staffs so that managers focus more on corporate goals and objectives.
"Choose people for your team who you trust," Sitch said, "and know that they can articulate and speak to the values of your brand without having to come back and ask you first."
How to motivate your audience as they are increasingly inundated with online choices will be critical. "It's about the community at large and conversing with the people who really matter," Sitch added.
Kai Wright, VP of communications and business development for the Atom Factory, said that PR managers will have to take on the persona of an editorial director. They'll need to steer editorial scheduling, create editorial calendars and build a solid bench of editorial contributors.
"What's the voice? What's the frequency? What are some of the [issues] that your brand can speak to intelligently?" Wright asked. "You need a strong pulse on your market, you have to be an early adopter and have an eye on aesthetics. The Web is getting much more visual."

Ten Lines from Mad Men You (Hopefully) Won't Be Hearing at Work Today
The series finale of 'Mad Men' left it up to us to decide if Don Draper took on a new, third identity or whether California bliss and an inspired retreat experience led him back to the advertising life and to create the iconic "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" commercial."
After 92 hours of great storytelling by show creator Matthew Weiner, we say goodbye to Don, Roger, Peggy, Joan, Pete, and the iconic, misogynistic and inappropriate '60s workplace. So one cliffhanger from the show which may frustrate communicators is: Where was the HR director at Sterling Cooper & Partners? Today, that HR dept. would be working overtime to deal with the goings-on among its troops.
To wit, I recap wonderfully horrible lines from 'Mad Men' over the years that hopefully you don't hear in the workplace anymore:
"Give me more ideas to reject." – Don Draper
"Well, I gotta go learn a bunch of people's names before I fire them." – Roger Sterling
"Being with a client is like being in a marriage. Sometimes you get into it for the wrong reasons, and eventually they hit you in the face." – Roger Sterling
"I'm Peggy Olson and I wanna smoke some marijuana."
"Say yes with your voice not just your eyes." – Pete
"I'm not a solution to your problem. I'm another problem." – Joan
"Remember when God closes a door he opens a dress." – Roger Sterling
"I know you're ashamed of your body. Or you should be at least." – Stan [to Peggy]
"Although things are precarious financially, it's been a magnificent year." – Lane
"Could you keep it down? I'm trying to drink." – Don Draper
'Mad Men' is arguably one of TV's best written stories and will be fondly remembered for years to come. The workplace culture and the dialogue that accompanied it? It's good to know we've progressed, or as one '60s advertising slogan noted, "You've come a long way, baby."

PR Agency Pros and the Cure for In-House Anxiety
In-house PR practitioners don't have it easy, in general. Sometimes they have to deal with a lack of understanding and appreciation for the work they do. (Did I say sometimes?) Sometimes they get recognized internally only when something goes wrong that needs to get fixed, now. Sometimes they're asked to wear so many hats and expected to be masters at media pitching, crisis management, Facebook, Twitter, speech writing, SEO and measurement dashboards that they run to webinars and conferences to boost their skills, only to be frozen by anxiety when they see how much they have to learn.
Sometimes these in-house PR practitioners—and their senior leaders—need to enlist a PR agency to combat and defeat all of this fatigue and anxiety. What an agency offers is not the brand and reputation of the agency itself—that's beside the point. It's the unique mix of skills and experience that an individual agency practitioner can offer that really matters.
In a recent issue of PR News' premium newsletter, Catherine Frymark, SVP, corporate communications for Discovery Communications, reflected on her time spent working for agencies before joining Discovery. "I don't regret one minute of starting my career in the agencies," said Frymark, who was honored as one PR News' Top Women in PR at a luncheon in New York in February. "In fact, when I am hiring I give a lot of weight to candidates with agency experience. I know they have the fundamentals. They can multitask and serve the client."
Frymark pointed out that working on a portfolio of brands keeps agency pros fresh. And that's the key selling point for brands and organizations that may be considering working with PR agencies. Agency pros are like the proverbial shark that Woody Allen's character Alvy Singer discusses in "Annie Hall." Alvy says that "a relationship is like a shark—it has to constantly move forward or it dies." If you work at a PR agency, to survive and grow you have no choice but to keep moving forward, from client to client, from skill to skill.
This brings to the in-house team—which may live their brand but may be lacking the outsider's perspective—a freshness that's very difficult to achieve inside the brand.

Are You Engaged in Reverse Mentoring?
All the talk about mentoring can make you feel a bit left out. If you are neither a mentor nor a mentee, then what the heck are you doing with yourself? The truth is, you are probably mentoring or being mentored without even knowing it. It's the new fabric of our work culture – people helping people. If you're not guiding someone or asking for help on a regular basis then you are missing out in a significant way.
As communicators, we need to recognize that our pace of advancement might be inversely affected by the age of our mentors. The older you are, the better off you may be if you are mentored by a Millennial. The concept of Reverse Mentoring, first championed by GE's Jack Welch more than a decade ago, is not only a great way for senior executives to learn the nuances of social media, it's a way to bridge the communications gap between generations, increasing morale, retention and knowledge.
Three influential PR executives I met with recently were eager to share their experiences with reverse mentoring. Said one: "One of my young employees has been showing me how to do a tweet chat. I had no idea." Said the other: "They are taking over – best to get to know how they think." While much of the conversation was centered around social media and younger generations holding comfortably the Digital Native mantle, it goes without saying that Millennials and the Generation Z following them into the workplace are the future leaders, current and future customers and business creators.
Identifying a mentor – formally or informally – who is of another generation than yours and embracing the unique perspective and skills that person holds will take you far. And many Millennials are schooling the senior set to great effect for the company's brand, too.
If you're not engaged in some sort of reverse mentoring, you are not only missing out, you will be spinning your wheels until they eventually fall off.

'I Think I Can't, I Think I Can't': A New Train of Thought
The story about the little engine that could is a familiar and heart-warming one, a tale of a determined underdog fulfilling a difficult task against all odds. "I think I can, I think I can" is a commonly used refrain at challenging moments.
Sometimes, though, we might be stronger to think we can't. To admit, "I think I can't. I think I can't" and to seek help.
This idea was brought to light last week during PR News' Top Women in PR Awards ceremony when keynoter JJ Ramberg, host of MSBNC's Your Business, reminded an audience of high achievers to ask for help without the fear of reprisal or embarrassment. The women who make up our 2015 class of top female communicators are a determined group that can relate to the little engine that took on the challenge of taking a stranded train over the hill while the bigger, more able locomotives refused.
I'm fairly certain that leaders of either gender know they can't do everything well and will seek assistance every now and then. Aside from having mentors to guide us, it's imperative that we as communicators are also able to communicate our (momentary) weaknesses and our need for assistance. To occasionally ask for help from colleagues, peers, friends and new-found business connections is to acknowledge our limits, to learn from the assistance we receive and to pay it forward.
The next time you think you're the little engine that could or the big engine that should, consider your options. Could you use a little help?

It's Not Over 'Til It's Over, and 4 Other Takeaways From Super Bowl XLIX
This year's Super Bowl lived up to its hype, and it was one of the first times in recent memory that I found the game to be more exciting than the commercials. This year's array of $4.5m spots struck a more somber and heart-warming note than years past. Considering what's happening on the world stage and within the NFL itself, it wasn't such a bad idea for brands to get behind life-affirming messaging. Even Mexican Avocados looked cute! And beyond the touchdowns, interceptions and curious calls were lessons that might resonate with you as you kick off your work week, and as we count down to Super Bowl 50:
Pull the heart strings, repeatedly: The Budweiser Clydesdale/lost puppy commercial was among the most memorable ads of the night. The Budweiser commercial was rather familiar to most fans since it was viewed millions of times before it officially aired. It was a sequel to last year's crazily popular "Puppy Love" tear-fest. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," Brian Perkins, vice president, Budweiser, told USA Today.
There's a fine line between getting consumers' attention and turning them off: Nationwide's "Make Safe Happen" commercial was an unwelcome surprise and quite the downer for many as we watched a "dead" boy narrate all the things he missed out on. " Tweeters took sides, mostly against the ad. Noted one tweeter: "Nice one Nationwide. That was pretty fun to watch a commercial about dead kids with my kids. #makesafehappen more like#scaremykids." But people are talking about it — and the connection between your child's safety and insurance — so I'm betting Nationwide considers it a success. In a statement defending the ad, Nationwide said: "While some did not care for the ad, we hope it served to begin a dialogue to make safe happen for children everywhere."
Play through the crisis: The case of the deflated footballs (Deflategate) still in play, the Patriots astutely fielded, or rather deflected, media questions before and after the game and proved their ability to not let a crisis disappoint fans, otherwise known as a 28-24 win.
Own up to poor decisions: Sports analysts and Monday morning quarterbacks are calling it one of the "dumbest calls ever," and it just might be up there. But it was encouraging to hear Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and QB Russell Wilson take responsibility (and not shift the blame) for the game-ending intercepted 1-yard-line slant pass. Not a rookie mistake; rather a rookie miracle that's catnip to the media. Which leads to my last observation:
Don't underestimate the rookies: there's speculation that Wilson threw the pass in the direction of a less experienced player, clearly underestimating Malcolm Butler's determination and skill. "I just read the play and made the play," Butler said post-game. A lesson for us all.

15 Easy Changes to Transform Your Career this Year
Forget new year's resolutions about losing weight, completing your first novel, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail while learning how to play guitar. Those sorts of resolutions just set you up for disappointment. It's time to get realistic. As far as career resolutions go, there's no shortage of things we can do better. As communicators, we are fortunate to be working in a field that is constantly changing and therefore challenging our skills and patience. With that in mind, I put together 15 activities that can set you up for a more gratifying year on the job. This doesn't mean you can't still try to master the art of French cooking or call your in-laws once a week. Give at least a few of these a try in the coming week:
1. Become data savvy not data obsessive: understand what all the hullabaloo is about "data" in your organization and then learn how to leverage it for good, not just because.
2. Tell a good story: that's one reason why we're in PR, to tell great stories. If it means re-reading your favorite Rudyard Kipling short story to remind you of great storytelling, well that wouldn't be so painful.
3. Foster a relationship: whether it's with a co-worker, a reporter, a client or a customer, get out there and get to know someone new.
4. Look up: practice proper protocol and be in the moment by not staring down at your phone while in a meeting or in social interactions.
5. Find a mentee: help a budding communicator navigate the increasingly complex areas of PR. Seek a mentee through your own organization or through industry groups like PRSSA.
6. Give your customer a face and a name: find out who your optimal customer is (or your client's optimal customer) and tack a photo of that person by your desk. Gear your efforts toward him or her.
7. Measure twice, cut once: best to know what the key metrics are before you launch a campaign or initiative and use those as your guide; it saves you much time and heartache in the long term.
8. Write something: practice writing every day; the more you write, the better you get at writing. Volunteer to write a blog post for your company or to guest post for a client; write an article in your company newsletter or update your group or clients with a well-crafted email memo.
9. Switch jobs (for a day) with IT: gain a better understanding of what your digital team does every day by spending some time dealing with people like us who are always needing something from them.
10. Get your policies and plans in order: do you have a social media policy? An employee handbook? A crisis plan? Have you read or updated them? Now is a good time to brush up on the dry stuff.
11. Audit your assets: take stock of your content libraries (if you have them), your photo archives, press release templates, review your About Us web page, and other assets that could come in handy in the event of a crisis, merger, acquisition, corporate change or last-minute request from a reporter.
12. Drop a social media platform: do you really need to be on Pinterest? Maybe that stagnant LinkedIn Group is making your brand look bad, not good. No need to be there if your audience is not visiting.
13. Adopt a social media platform: try out a new platform – whether it's Snapchat, tumblr or Google+, test new social media waters to develop a stronger sense of where your should invest time and resources.
14. Hand-write a thank you note: A few times a month, thank a customer, a client, a colleague, a reporter, an analyst; be on the mental lookout for those people who are helping you and write them a note. Your letter will stand out and all parties will be grateful. (Don't forget to mail it.)
15. Advocate for PR: I'm not telling you anything new when I say that Public Relations as a discipline is only as good as the disciples. Become an advocate for measurable PR strategies and tactics that move the needle in a positive way. Share your best practices of the trade and spread the word about the power of Public Relations.
Happy new year, friends of PR News!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.

- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.

Here is some examples with cole doing the verses and Kendrick as the hook at one point but that is it so
I was listening to the song Fear by Drake today (cause Old Drake is the shit) and these lyrics stood out
For example, Kenny's last album out is To Pimp a Butterfly. That was a good album.
Why tf is Clipse never mentioned on RG, HHNF had less than 50% votes on that classic album thread wtf
Which Rappers do you think don't get the credit they deserve?
Im going to go with Crooked I. His flow,Multi's and rhyme schemes are amazing and its very difficult to think of another rapper that can even come close to him lyrically. I can think of Artists that are a lot better but as a rapper i cant see many on his level (probably Em on his day). He absolutely kills Freestyles, Cyphers and songs of his own and Slaughterhouse verses. Bar for Bar i think he's the best out there but many may disagree but thats fine I've got my opinion. I just hope in the future he focuses on more of a solo album instead of doing a solo albums,mixtapes and freestyles at the same time and wasting ideas.
He's killed so many verses he even killed Eminem and the rest of Slaughterhouse on Eminem's Session One and a lot of rappers have tried to rap along side Em and got beat. He murders all his verses in Slaughterhouse and the group are pure spitters. It would be great if Just Blaze produced Crooked I next album after he's finished producing Slaughterhouse — Glass House. Thats all he needs is great production and a chance to show everyone he can make a killer album
queef sosa
@play Dat tit
@braders Almost all of my favorites don't get the credit they deserve. And not just in rap and hip hop.
Pusha T
I totally agree with Crooked I……But i'm going with the Jet Life boss Curren$y man!
Lupe, Royce Da 5'9, Common, Mos Def, agree with Pusha^
Dizzee Rascal, debut was a 21st century UK illmatic, created a load of beats back in the day, US rappers are all on now
#The Palmer Squares
This seems more like a underrated category.
When it comes to deserving more credit though??
I am not a fan but honestly probable Macklemore.
I second Crooked I. He is a fucking beast on the mic.

Mayor says he'll keep job despite risque mail
Sigmund says: "Unless of course your a vindictive on-air personality, who shall remain nameless, have an ax to grind, are filled with malice, your purpose is defamation, and you can convince someone else to do your dirty work for you"...
I believe it's been established that none of these characterizations has any basis in fact. Yet you keep making them, SIgmund. Whereas the article you claim to be libelous is, by admission of the mayor himself, true. So who exactly is doing the slandering here?

Mayor says he'll keep job despite risque mail
Look, I believe Vestal when he says he is not a racist, but a reasonable person could infer that the MLK Day reference in the email is exactly that. Werekoala, you make that point in spite of yourself: If the joke means what you say it does, then why don't they refer to, as you say, Arbor Day, Columbus Day, or whatever? The point is, they chose a holiday considered sacred specifically by the African-American community.
Would I describe it as pornographic? Probably not, as described. But again, it's close enough that we can put the ridiculous libel talk to rest.
The story will probably go away pretty quickly, since his constituents don't seem too bothered by it. But to call it libelous (as in, legally actionable) just because you disagree with its characterization of the email is, in a word, insane.

Mayor says he'll keep job despite risque mail
I would think they/d want to keep their reporter out of the story if possible. It's about what the mayor did, not the reporter.
But she is mentioned in the follow-up! Vestal's post ID'ing her is right there in this story. I don't understand what the purported coverup is supposed to be here.

Hmm, a picture of a naked woman accompanied by a derogatory reference to MLK Day.
Is that an example of "racist pornography?" Seems like a matter of opinion, but it's certainly close enough to absolve the writer of "malicious falsehood" charges.
September 10, 2007 at 6:33 p.m. ( permalink | suggest removal )
Mayor says he'll keep job despite risque mail
If they decided the "pornographic" description was "over the top," then it stands to reason they would revise it. But if they were really concerned about legal ramifications, wouldn't they have taken the time to change the URL that you claim is a legal smoking gun?
September 10, 2007 at 6:17 p.m. ( permalink | suggest removal )
Mayor says he'll keep job despite risque mail
Again, the "pornographic" characterization MAY have been an overstatement, but libelous? What a joke.
No one "trumped up the story" or "accused the mayor of a crime." There is absolutely no basis that I see for proving malicious falsehood, unless you've got some evidence that you aren't telling us about. The mayor admitted the truth of the story as reported. Question the news judgment if you want, defend the mayor if you want, but the bizarre conspiracy theories here are all hot air.

LJW broke the law?
While it may have been over the top to call this picture pornography (don't know, haven't seen it), it doesn't even come close to passing the smell test for libel. How could you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a picture of a naked woman passed around for amusement is absolutely, positively NOT pornography? And how on earth would you intend to prove malice? The burden in these cases is always on those wishing to abridge free speech (that would be you, by suing the newspaper) and in this case you'd be trying to nail them for reporting something that the mayor himself admits is a TRUE FACT!
The mayor sent an inappropriate email from what is, in point of fact, his official account (i.e. the one he uses for mayoral business). He admitted what he did was wrong, and quite graciously apologized. It looks as if he will be able to keep his job, and all credit to him for being forthright in his response. It's only certain sexist neanderthals on this thread ("reporterette," indeed) who want him to drag this sordid story out.

Could not agree more, Flock.
The mayor does seem to be handling this well, and if Tonganoxie decides this incident is not a firing offense, good for them.
But the ugliness on these threads towards reporters -- who are only doing their jobs -- is unbelievable. The mayor knows what he did was wrong -- he admitted it and apologized. It's newsworthy because he's an elected official. If you can't stand the heat etc...
The outpouring of support for Vestal is admirable, but on this thread and the one yesterday it has become an ugly cyber lynch mob against the reporters. The name-calling, childishness, and downright sexism (reporterette?) is out of control. I mean, do you guys really believe all these conspiracy theories you spew out, or is this just sort of an amusing pastime for you?

Despite offering Black Friday sales last week, some retailers have put together a selection of deals for Cyber Monday. Newegg's Cyber Monday sale is loaded with discounts on enthusiast-worthy gear like Corsair's Graphite 600T enclosure, which has been dropped to $140 before a mail-in rebate knocks the price down to $120. Cases are a popular theme for Newegg today, with Antec's Three Hundred bundled with the company's own BP430 power supply for just $70. A mail-in rebate will knock an additional $15 off the combo's price. If you'd rather not deal with rebates, Lian Li's PC-9F mid-tower is $40 off at $100 even.
Intel's heavily discounted 320 Series SSD has been carried over from Newegg's Black Friday promotion. The 80GB version of this drive costs just $80 after a mail-in rebate, putting it squarely in dollar-per-gigabyte territory. The combination of an instant discount and mail-in rebate has also reduced the price of Corsair's H60 water cooler to under $44.
In the market for a motherboard? A couple of Gigabyte Z68 models are on sale. The Z68XP-UD3P can be had for $155 before a $15 mail-in rebate. Its better-equipped brother, the UD4, has been discounted to $170. That board also has a $20 mail-in rebate attached.
In addition to the ongoing Steam Autumn Sale (which has Dead Space 2 and Thief: Deadly Shadows for $5 for the next hour or so), Amazon has discounts on a bevvy of popular PC games. Today's standouts include Battlefield 3 for $30 and Need for Speed: The Run for just $20. Those are great prices on games that are only a few weeks old. There are discounts on older titles, too. Crysis 2, for example, costs $10 in downloadable form.

The Indian CloveRead MoreChefs at Indian Clove put a modern twist on the bold, flavorful spices of traditional Indian and Indo-Chinese cuisine. Working with organic long-grain rice and bread recipes that date back as far as 200 years, they forge aromatic South Asian dishes using fresh ginger, saffron, garlic, ajwain, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. The chefs' dedication to tradition is also evident in their use of the clay tandoor oven, which roasts skewers of marinated chicken, paneer cheese, and even lobster to tender perfection. From the Press Indian Clove is, "a clever new Indian restaurant with a fresh, modern interior soaked in beautiful, natural light, and a serious talent for Indian fare." — 2010 Michelin Guide according to Indian Clove's website "Drawing on his Indian roots and Boston and Denver chops, [chef-owner Ansari Ahamed] mixes Anglo-Indian favorites like no-filler crab cakes and Mulligatawny soup with tandoori classics such as tikka masala and spiced lamb korma, braised so tender it practically melts in one bite." — New York magazine "As is its tradition, Indian Clove makes a nice impression with its fine food and sweet service." — Staten Island Advance Post-Meal Nightlife Evenings at Indian Clove don't have to end with dinner. In a separate lounge space, guests can savor the kitchen's creations while live DJs provide an eclectic soundtrack for their meal. To help keep spirits high, the lounge also serves specialty cocktails in addition to wines plucked from the restaurant's climate-controlled cellar.2071 Clove RoadStaten Island, NY US
Fushimi Modern Japanese Cusine and LoungeRead MoreThough Fushimi Modern Japanese Cuisine & Lounge's menu and daily specials board boast French-inspired fusion food, its sushi is deeply rooted in tradition–and this combination has earned its dishes Zagat ratings and a Michelin recommendation. Chefs may reinterpret the presentation of Japanese staples—such as the tuna sashimi, which they set on broad leaves next to bean-sprout-entangled roe—but they still stay true to traditional flavors. By contrast, cooked fusion entrees tend to incorporate the unconventional, such as the tuna burger with spicy aioli, available on the weekend brunch menu, and the mushroom risotto made with black rice (a dish praised by New York Magazine in their critics' pick review.) At all locations, the decor also melds old and new. At the bar at the Staten Island location, crimson light filters through a canopy of metallic foliage, casting a moody aura across Buddhist statuettes imported from Asia. The neon-lit Williamsburg location has a sleeker feel, its booths nestled in large circular openings that bring to mind subway tunnels or the oversized portholes of Paul Bunyan's mythical submarine. In Bay Ridge, the stateliness of traditional chandeliers contrasts with the bold colors of wall-sized photographs.2110 Richmond Rd.Staten Island, NY US
Dolphin Fitness ClubsRead MoreDolphin Fitness Clubs' forest of humming and clanking exercise equipment is overseen by knowledgeable staff who are eager to dole out instruction on playing nicely with the machines and to pass along workout tips. Professional cardio- and strength-training equipment, from top manufacturers such as Cybex, Streamline, and Hammer, abounds as the certified trainers lead clients through customized workouts that are supplemented by nutritional counseling. The trainers also conduct group fitness classes—such as Zumba—in their expansive studios. Hordes of flat-screens line the gym walls, regaling fitness-seekers with distractions in the form of TV shows and movies such as Babe, a pig in the city who overcame all odds to run his first marathon.2071 Clove RoadStaten Island, NY US
Pepper Jack GrillRead MoreThe flickering fireplace in the dining room of Pepper Jack Grill casts a warm glow over the bilevel booths and pale-yellow walls adorned with local artwork. In the kitchen, chefs grill rib eye steaks alongside Angus beef and turkey-burger patties for patrons to customize with toppings from the burger bar such as apricot-chipotle barbecue sauce and handcut bacon. Pintsize chandeliers light the full half-moon-shape bar, where bartenders pour signature sangria, shakertinis, and goblets of black-cherry-bourbon sours. Live entertainment tickles the ears of diners while they watch sports games on flat-screen televisions or meander toward the outdoor patio lounge to shush overhead stars.316 Manor RdStaten Island, NY US

Houlihan'sRead MoreLocated in Bayonne on Lefante Way, Houlihan's is a popular bar that delivers flavorsome pub food and tasty burgers. An unforgettable dining experience set in a laid-back vibe. It's a popular restaurant for guests interested in great food. If you're planning ahead, people will probably tell you that Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are the best evenings to visit.

On a lark, we tried reading Silence and Other Stories aloud, though the results were nothing to shout about.
We were accused of writing fairy tales this week, which was the basis of a hearty laugh, for "Fairy tales tell the truth" as Italo Calvino reminds us in his 1967 essay "Cibernetica e Fantasmi." Their narrative construction and plot weaving are "the irreducible essence of all epistemological activity and therefore the ground for whatever truth may be available to man. Fairy tales 'tell the truth'" (Lucia Re, Calvino and the Age of Neorealism: Fables of Estrangement, 1990).

From our outpost at Tumblr:
This is a nifty 8-page satirical story by Jonny Chance about a fictionalized doppelgänger of comedian Paul Lynde who is not an alcoholic but rather "save[s] alcohol for occasions catered by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." At first I thought the book was presented as a Burroughs-style cut-up, but the top of each page features commentary by the author about what inspired the story, trying to handle the delicate balance of mocking Christianity when religion isn't technically the subject, and the goal of shattering illusions in a truly challenging way without merely congratulating the already-converted (à la The Matrix and Fight Club). At the bottom of each page is the Paul Lynde story itself. The Clarion Journal will take you to a page with a link to the pdf, which is here: http://www.clarion-journal.com/files/paullynde.pdf.
I'm nearing the point of obsession. I can't look away, and don't want to. Like Tarot cards, but with built-in illumination, and much more fun. Brilliant, says I! —Jeff Hawkins
A few years ago, we collaborated on a deck of "wide-awake dreaming" cards for the celebrated mentalist Kenton Knepper. Kenton occasionally demonstrated this deck at gatherings of the magical underground in Las Vegas, and that's how the cards got the street names of "Waking Dream Cards," "Metaphor Cards," "Subconscious Communication Cards," "Transformation Cards," and "K-Kards." But their official name is "[Self-Intuiting] Polarity Cards." The deck long-remained one of Kenton's best-kept secrets, but we can now reveal that they're finally available to anyone who wishes to experience a mind-blowing insight that they verifiably didn't have before. Unlike Tarot cards or other well-known reading decks, Polarity Cards are wholly free of dogma and therefore allow for fresh, intuitive understandings that are neither influenced nor hindered by preconceptions. Deeply rooted in coded principles from the Mystery traditions, the cards also work as powerful meditational tools, unlocking a greater sense of harmony and well-being. Lots more information about the deck is at TheGameCrafter.
How's this for a concept: the book of Genesis turned the past into a mental construct. "If not for its intercession, today we would perhaps be dealing with the past as simply one more reality, like any other object of perception" (César Aira, The Literary Conference). Airia also says of Genesis: "The mere idea of Adam and Eve's existence, of humanity (the species) retroactively reduced to a single couple, gives rise to genetics. I would even say that it is as far as the imagination can go in this field. Genetics is the genesis of diversity. But if diversity has nobody on whom to spread itself out, it turns on itself, gets tangled up in its own general particularity, and therein the imagination is born."
Here are two classic Egyptian symbols as letters (from Un Tour de Méditerranée, de Venise à Tunis, par Athènes, Constantinople et le Caire by Paul Jousset, 1893), but did you know we uncovered a way to decode Egyptian symbols in the letters of any name? We share the discovery in the "Egyptian Name Reading System" (described in detail over at Wonder Wizards). Our system includes an exclusive technique for automatically reciting an Egyptian poem as you gaze upon the letters of anyone's name (seriously), as if channeling a spirit from antiquity. We only belatedly learned that our system was hailed as one of the top mentalism innovations of 2012 ... but you don't have to be a magician to use it, and it's actually not a trick.
"A simple example taken from the world of culture (and what other world should we take it from?) ..." —César Aira (as translated by Katherine Silver), The Literary Conference
It's quite the New Age thing to be present in the moment, to "be here now" as Ram Dass teaches. But is that wise? Consider: "Believe me, remembrance is the lesser evil. Let no one trust the happiness of the moment; there is in it a drop of gall." —Machado de Assis, Epitaph of a Small Winner
The Latin phrase says that times change, and we change with them. But the illustration reminds us that we can face backwards and might even gain an umbrella along the way. This illustration encapsulates our Oddfellow approach to life. We're reminded of a moment in childhood, when the family car was passing by a horrendously stinky paper manufacturing plant. We suggested that everyone breathe through their mouths until we moved out of range of the stench. Our kid brother — with all the wisdom of the eternal twelve-year-old — sneered derisively, announcing what was obvious to him, that we'd be inhaling the fumes either way. We remained silent, too dumbfounded to communicate what was obvious to us, that just because one has to breathe it doesn't mean one can be forced to smell it. So, too, in this illustration — just because the pony is charging ahead doesn't mean we can't look whichever way we choose and keep an eye out for an umbrella and medicine bag to make the journey more bearable.
Perhaps Andy Warhol Was Wrong, For a Fascinating Variety of Reasons[Updated with new wrongness!]Andy Warhol famously predicted that in the future, everyone would be famous for fifteen minutes. Now that the future is already here, there are those who beg to differ with Andy, and for a fascinating variety of reasons!In his novel Rant (2007), Chuck Palahniuk suggests that "Andy Warhol was wrong. In the future, people won't be famous for fifteen minutes. No, in the future, everyone will sit next to someone famous for at least fifteen minutes."Movie critic Frank Schneck posits that the word should be film, not fame: "Andy Warhol was wrong. It's not just that everyone is going to have 15 minutes of fame. In the not-so-distant future, every person on the planet is going to have a film made about him or her" (Hollywood Reporter, 2000). Others seem to agree, in a roundabout way:
Then there are those who argue that the 15 minutes are recurring:
Not fame, but Hitler:
Not fame, but privacy:
Not fame, but Colorado citizenship:
Not fame, but hostage crisis:
"In the future, everyone will be a hostage for fifteen minutes." —William Keckler
Fame, yes, but in the past, not in the future:
Fame, yes, but not 15 minutes exactly:
Fame, yes, but for more like 15 seconds:
Fame, yes, but for more than 15 minutes:
Fame, yes, but "in" 15 minutes, not "for" 15 minutes:
Fame, yes, but without measure:
The opposite of fame:
Fifteen, yes, but not minutes:
Fame, yes, but perhaps 30 minutes:
Just plain wrong:
---Stefan writes:
Awesome post on Warhol. I never really liked the guy and his art, but I give credit where credit is due, he was a great coordinator and inspiration for other better artists and musicians. Much like Sex Pistols, I don't find them good but they did inspire much better bands to get together and create wonderful albums. So I agree he was wrong however he didn't anticipate the connectivity and subcultural activity we have today which shatters his definition and value of fame. Also nowadays with youtube clips and Jersey Shores fame and infamy seem to be interchangeable. But what I liked about the article was how Warhol's idea was refuted from different perspectives. Here's mine: "Warhol was wrong about his theory on the 15 minutes of fame. The time frame is the maximum length of a video you can post on YouTube." Mine is of course valid for today, just like Warhol's and those quoted in your post are valid in their own cultural Zeitgeists.

InPrivate Could "Undermine the Economies of the Internet"
ADOTAS – Online advertisers are all atwitter over the latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser – and for good reason. While most browsers allow users to browse without ads, the privacy options inherent in the latest version will make it much more difficult for advertisers to reach consumers.
One new option, called InPrivate Blocking, was designed so that consumers can browse sites anonymously, in effect shielding their online habits from marketers and advertisers, and making it that more difficult to serve accurately targeted ads to consumers.
InPrivate can:
- Easily delete browsing history, cookies.
- Block tracking pixels, cookies and pieces of code third-party sites use to track surfing activity.
Many members of the industry are concerned – especially in this economic environment – about the ramifications of InPrivate.
"It has the potential to undermine the economies of the Internet," Mike Zaneis, vice president of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, told The Washington Post.
Mozilla is set to release an updated Firefox with similar features late this year.

Velocity Venture Capital, the premier venture capital firm in the Sacramento / Northern California region, today launched its Fifth annual Entrepreneurs Showcase which is held at its non-profit Entrepreneurs Campus in Folsom, CA. The Showcase is an exclusive accelerator boot camp to help tech startups polish their ideas and their teams to make them more attractive to investors and more successful as a business.
"The Showcase has grown tremendously in popularity," said Jack Crawford, Jr., General Partner of Velocity Venture Capital. "Last year we had hundreds of applicants for ten slots. This year we expect even more, demonstrating how much creativity and entrepreneurial spirit there is here."
"To help narrow the field, this year for the first time we are seeking participation from a broader audience," said Gary Simon, Venture Partner for Velocity. "To make it fun, and to encourage as many companies as possible to apply, the top 40 applicants will prepare a short video and use it to solicit votes, similar to the popular TV show 'American Idol'. The votes along with the votes of expert judges will determine who gets the limited number of spots available in the accelerator program."
The accelerator program is an eight-week intensive boot camp where the participating teams receive training, coaching, professional help, and introductions to investors, customers and partners In prior years, graduates of the accelerator have gone on to raise capital and become profitable. Many of these companies including Emtrain, CirrusMD, SmartCase, HomeZada, Apptology, Mindful Meal, Pondera, Snippet, and others are positioned for significant growth this year.
Applications are available at www.velocityvc.com/entrepreneurs-showcase. The deadline is May 31. The 40 best applications will be selected to advance. They will be matched with a group of sponsors who will help them get out the vote. By mid-July, Velocity will announce 18 of the 40 by presenting at the Entrepreneurial Drive Golf Tournament, July 28 at Serrano Country Club in El Dorado Hills. In September, 10 finalists will be selected and in December the 10 will present to investors and the general public.
The public is invited to go to the Entrepreneurs Showcase website to view the videos from the Top 40 starting June 25. Each vote is a one dollar tax-deductible contribution that goes to support the mission of the Entrepreneurs Campus to inspire and educate tech entrepreneurs. There is no limit on how many votes one can cast. The contest is powered by VotDo.com.
Partners and sponsors of the Entrepreneurs Showcase and Campus include: National Venture Capital Association, Kauffman Fellows Program, Samsung, Dell, Oracle, Silicon Valley Bank, AT&T, Bank of America, Cal Innovates, TriNet, and the University of the Pacific as well as a number of other key influencers in the California technology ecosystem.

For IoT to grow as quickly as analyst firms' project, a lot is going to fall on developers to quickly bring applications to market. But the lack of a standard development platform threatens to slow growth and make application development more time consuming and costly, much like we've seen in the mobile space.

Providing the needed data for application development and testing is a huge headache for most organizations. The problems are often the same across companies - speed, quality, cost, and control. Provisioning data can take days or weeks, every time a refresh is required. Using dummy data leads to quality problems. Creating physical copies of large data sets and sending them to distributed teams of developers eats up expensive storage and bandwidth resources. And, all of these copies proliferating...

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Digital Transformation is the ultimate goal of cloud computing and related initiatives. The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology.

Item # 422101
Design: A handcrafted balmoral brogue from our friends (and fellow Wisconsinites) at Allen Edmonds. Detailed with an eye-catching toe medallion as well as the brogueing on the wing, throat and backstay to make it dressy enough for business, but casual by design. Crafted from waxy distressed leather and a single split reverse leather sole that truly sets them apart and makes them an instant classic.
Material: Genuine leather, Cotton, Rubber. Polish clean. Made in the USA.

The salsa in this dish is quite unexpected, it's delicate and pretty, while the balsamic and pepper accentuate plain fresh strawberries, in the salsa, they add intensity that go with the beef.
Spicy Spring Salsa:
Toss strawberries and green onion with sugar and salt and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain off any liquid that comes out into a small pot. Add balsamic and simmer until a glaze consistency. Add glaze to strawberries and stir in tarragon and chili flakes. Taste for seasoning and chill until ready to serve.
In a food processor, pulse onion, garlic vinegar, mustard and pepper until smooth. Drizzle in oil while processor is running, and pour marinade into a shallow dish. Place sirloin into dish and turn to coat with marinade. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
Preheat grill to medium heat. Remove all but a thin layer of marinade over beef and season with salt. Place on grill and cover. Grill on one side, rotating once, about 12 minutes, then turn and grill on the other side about the same time for medium-rare (use a temperature probe and grill to an internal temperature of 135°F). Let sirloin rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Any reserve marinade can be simmered for 5 minutes, then served on the side as a "relish" beside the spring salsa (or toss into boiled potatoes).

Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Rose are the best wines to pair with Onion Marinated Sirloin with Spicy Spring Salsa.

Dear Scared of Junior High,
A lot of girls feel nervous about a new school year, whether they are going into junior high, high school or fifth grade. Ask your sixth-grade friends if they are feeling jittery (I'm sure some are). And ask any older friends how they made the jump to junior high.
Also, try to visualize success. In other words, instead of picturing mean kids and tough homework assignments, think about how much fun it will be to see your friends all day and how much you like English, art, Spanish or your other favorite courses. Think about any after-school activities that appeal to you. Don't go overboard—you don't want to be busy every day. It's important to have free time for relaxation and homework. But do sign up for a sport or chorus or chess or something because it's a great way to build new skills and friendships.
As for schoolwork, get the new year off to a flying start by practicing good study habits. This just may be your best year yet!
