Phoenix police find good Samaritan who saved woman's life
PHOENIX -- Phoenix police say they have found the good Samaritan who is credited with helping a woman who became pinned under her car following a collision with another vehicle.
The crash happened last week at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Bell Road. The woman's car flipped several times after being hit. The car landed on her arm and she was bleeding profusely.
Lucas Robinson, 19, was working at a car wash at the intersection of Third Avenue and Bell when he heard the crash.
"I though it was a fender-bender, but when I looked I saw the car was flipped on its side," he said. "I dropped what I was doing, ran over and I saw her arm. It was mutilated and bleeding very bad."
Police Sgt. Steve Martos said Robinson used his belt as a tourniquet and comforted the woman until rescue crews arrived. He then disappeared.
"I didn't want to be recognized for that. I was just focused on helping her," he said.
Robinson's friend gave his name to police.
Martos said Robinson was located and met with the woman's family members on Tuesday.
Doctors said the woman did lose one-third of her arm, but could have died had it not been for the Robinson's actions.
Robinson will soon serve in the United States Army as an electronics mechanic.
KTAR's Sandra Haros contributed to this report.

An Open Innovation Dilemma
As mentioned in my previous post, I decided to use open innovation for the development of a logo. OK, it is quite small scale, but I wanted to see the results.
Here are two quick interesting observations.
Signal to Noise Ratio: This is my favorite measure of the innovation process. This is the ratio of a signal (what you want – that is, good ideas) to the noise (what you don't want – the duds). Higher ratios are better. Traditional suggestion boxes have a low signal to noise ratio because you get ideas about everything, even things that don't matter. And although campaign-based innovation (including open innovation) can yield a higher signal to noise ration, unless you are quite specific with your brief, you will still get a fair amount of "noise." There has been more noise in this process than had I used just one designer. But given the limited number of entries (<50), this has not been an issue. Had there been thousands of entries – or if the designs being submitted were more complex (e.g., chemical compounds), the evaluation process would have been tedious.
Building on Ideas of Others: Here is the most interesting observation. In the beginning, few designs were of interest. But after a period of time, some good concepts emerged. The website I am using, 99designs.com, allows the other designers to see every logo submitted. They can also see my feedback on which designs I like the most. As I created my short-list, certain designers decided to "build on" (plagiarize?) the concepts I liked. Although this resulted in an improved design, it also presented an ethical dilemma. Only one designer is awarded the prize. Do I select the best design – even if it is a variation on earlier work by someone else? Or do I do the "fair thing" and award to the person who developed the original concept?
Building on the ideas of others is critical to innovation. Let's face it, most new ideas are just improvements on old ideas. But financially-based, winner-take-all competitions can impede collaboration and innovation. They may force knowledge/creative hording.
In this situation, a reasonable solution might be for me to split the award money; a percentage to the person who developed the winning concept and a percentage to the person who developed the best final product. But that is not an option with this open innovation website.
We want collaboration and open innovation. Yet, if people feel their ideas are being stolen, this will have the opposite effect.
What thoughts/observations do you have on this topic?

The transition from a competitive to a cooperative economy is rife with difficulties, as your dilemma indicates.
In a way, anyone submitting freely to the web loses ownership of that material. It will remain in perpetuity in the public domain. Can we collectively wrap our minds around this new generosity, this free sharing of property? It contradicts fundamental understanding of commerce. Yet the web is forcing us to change ….
Your winner is the design itself, accredited to the entire community of participants in your event. Prize money, perhaps, could go to a selected charity.

I think that people should share ideas so they can build from each other. Einstein said he stood on the shoulder of giants. I think that these designers can stand on each others shoulders and reach heights that they never thought possible. I don't know what to do about the reward dilemma.
Maybe you can reward the few that spurred on a better logo, but didn't win with a small cash reward or a thank you of some sort. I don't know how you judge that though.
So it comes down to the rules. I guess if they knew what they were getting into then it's up to them to go along with the rules. If they feel they were cheated then they shouldn't have competed in the first place.

Great observayions and very relevant questions. Maybe there is an intermediate step required where the original inputs are "blind" i.e. only visible to the client. If the client then wants further refinement they modify the brief and re-submit to the providers along with the ideas they like best?

Thanks for all of the comments. See the post I just put up today – but wrote the other day. We all have somewhat similar perspectives on ways to do these types of open innovation efforts.
- May 6, 2008 at 6:06 am
Building on Karl Staib's initial suggestion – it might be worthwhile to explore a globally based reputation management system in the face of emerging 'open innovation' based initiatives/models.
For example of the logo design – reputation 'points' could be awarded for the 'incremental' value someone puts on the logo by taking a previous design (value added) and to the final winner who synthesizes the designs together can perhaps be awarded some form of bonus points!
OFcourse – this is a very simply suggestion and I am sure we would face significant questions such as privileges – but isnt that where the Web 2.0 problem lies? WITH the PRIVLAGE?
Perhaps the Web 3.0 designers/pioneers of our kind should think about certain 'transparency' systems that builds reputation!
Perhaps something to explore!

Interesting topic. Just yesterday I was thinking about how lucky I am to be born in the period I am in. I was cooking a steak on the grill, realizing I didn't have to raise or butcher the cow, didn't have to carve the meat. All I had to do was go to the grocery store pay $8.99 a pound and voila! I was ready to eat the meat. Even a century ago this wasn't possible. Just about everything we do is a result of working off the innovations of others.

This is the most relevant question with regards to open innovation (or more general: open ideas sharing) approach that we have to face.
How to ensure "fair" profit distribution based on collaborative production in a world where the product itself (innovative idea) is interesting because it can help the owner of the idea on competitive markets where the winner takes it all.
In other words: innovation should differentiate companies, so that they can be the No. 1 on the market (competitive distribution) – that's why they innovate, but we are struggling with profit distribution among idea creators who must cooperate to create such unique idea (collaborative distribution).

Mary Gwen Robins Schaffernoth
MATTHEWS — Mary Gwen Robins Schaffernoth died of a stroke, stemming from a brain aneurism, on February 19, 2014 at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, MD. She was 56. Mary Gwen, daughter of James and Jacqueline Robins, was the loving wife of Charles 'Chas' Schaffernoth Jr., and the devoted mother of Adam, Anna, James, Ashley, and Sherwood. She is survived by her siblings Barbara, Carol, and Doug. She was predeceased by her elder brother, Sherwood.
Mary Gwen was born and raised in Durham, NC and attended Jordan High School, class of 1976. She went to college at UNC Charlotte where she met Chas, the love of her life. The two wed in 1982 and, in the purest extension of her caring nature, Mary Gwen went into nursing. Chas and Mary Gwen began growing their family in 1985 and didn't stop until 1995, resulting in five wonderful children.
She left nursing to herd those children full-time, returning to the profession in the mid-2000s, once the state deemed it safe to allow most of them behind the wheel. She loved her children with an angelic devotion that was apparent in every conversation, every deed, and every smile.
Mary Gwen was an avid lover of dogs, horses, and people of all walks of life. She was the embodiment of a true Christian. She was an active member of the Order of the Daughters of the Holy Cross, a Christian prayer and outreach organization. She loved her family and friends deeply, more than we will ever know.
The viewing will be held at the Heritage Funeral Home on 3700 Forest Lawn Dr, Matthews, NC on Friday February 28, 2014 from 6pm to 8pm. In addition, all are welcome to celebrate her life during the memorial service, burial, and reception on Saturday March 1, 2014. The memorial service will be held at Christ Lutheran Church on 4519 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC at 1pm with the burial and reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, please send charitable donations (tax deductible) to The Branches of the Vine (thebranchesofthevine.com), a medical mission in Africa, to further a cause close to Mary Gwen's heart.

The term "civil rights" covers all social justice issues, and Rep. John Lewis, an ally to the LGBT community, has literally taken body blows for equality. Today it is almost unthinkable that we're talking about the basic right to vote and the incessant attacks on the right to disenfranchise voters they believe will not cast their ballot for Republicans. Apparently they realize that they cannot win on merit or policy scrutiny, so voter suppression and disinformation is the way to go.
Via Democracy Now:
We broadcast a special, 1-hour interview with U.S. Democratic Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, former chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and a critical figure in the civil rights movement. Marching for the right of all Americans to vote, Rep. Lewis risked his life alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and was among the speakers at the 1963 March on Washington. Rep. Lewis also helped to organize Freedom Rides and campaigned for Robert Kennedy for president. He has just written a new book titled, "Across that Bridge: Life Lessons and a Vision for Change."
In this extended interview, Rep. Lewis recalls many moments of personal struggle, including the day in 1964 when he and other African Americans were arrested for attempting to register to vote. Today, 16 states have passed restrictive voting laws that could shape the 2012 election, including the vital swing states of Florida and Pennsylvania.
"That's why it is so important for people to understand," says Rep. Lewis, "to know that people suffered, struggled. Some people bled and some died, for the right to participate. You know, the vote is the most powerful non-violent tool that we have in a democratic society. It's precious; it's almost sacred. We have to use it. If not, we will lose it."

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 2005 For the chief of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on his charge is still a vivid memory.
"My first thought that day was, 'No. Not here.' That was the thing in my mind, 'It can't be happening here,'" John Jester said from his Pentagon office during an interview with the Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service.
"We had two big challenges that day," said Jester, who was in the building when an American Airlines Boeing 757 hit. "One was to try to rescue people because there were people who were in that area who could not see how to get out."
The smoke resulting from the explosion and fireballs that rolled down the nearby hallways when the plane impacted was so thick and dark that people couldn't find the exits. There are now reflective strips at ground level that indicate how to find exits.
"The second thing is we had to secure the building," he said. "We ... had a situation where we had a building that was broken open. We had information and classified materials, safes and things, all around."
There were more than 300 safes containing classified material in the section of the building that was hit. They were eventually opened with hydraulic cutting tools typically used to free people from vehicle accidents and returned to their respective departments.
The sheer number of volunteers that showed up had to be handled, as well. Their help was appreciated in the immediate aftermath, but as time went on, Jester said there were too many.
"Everybody had a good heart about wanting to help out, but at some point, we had to ... put restrictions on the crash site," he said.
The first and foremost lesson learned that day was: "Don't think it won't happen on your watch," Jester said.
He now anticipates worst-case scenarios, another lesson gleaned from that tragic day, he said. "Use your imagination about what could happen to you," Jester said.
The lessons of that day on which 184 people died resulted in the Pentagon Force Protection Agency. The organization was previously known as the Defense Protective Service and had a total of 320 people, Jester said. The PFPA, a new defense agency since the attacks, is made up of 870 personnel, many former military, who are part of a "very robust anti-terrorism force protection team."
Officials realized quickly that day that just over 300 personnel could not effectively secure such a large facility while simultaneously evacuating victims. The force now has a much more visible presence inside and out of the building, is trained in countersurveillance, and has many more resources at its disposal, Jester said.
"It's a bigger organization that has a lot more capabilities to deal with all kinds of threats that could be directed toward this facility," he said. Those threats include potential biological, chemical or radiological attacks.
The sheer number of riders that passes through the Pentagon Metro station -- more than 25,000 a day, Jester said -- is cause for concern. But PFPA officers and bomb dogs, respectively, keep their eyes open and their noses to the ground. PFPA officers are also being trained to handle suicide bombers.
While the scenario of a large commercial plane being used to attack the facility is all too real, Jester said that it was not considered a realistic threat before Sept. 11.
"In October 2000, we'd actually had an exercise, ... a situation where a small plane hit the building, because we're right in the flight path of (Ronald Reagan Washington) National Airport," he said, adding that the prospect of a large commercial plane being used as a bomb had not been a concern.
Anticipated scenarios are often played out in training exercises with nearby Arlington County, Va., first responders, Jester said. He added that the exercises help all coordinate with one another and give them a chance to get to know each other. Familiarity equals speed in the middle of a crisis, Jester said, adding that it's not a matter of "if," but "when" this training will pay off.
"We are a target," he said. "We're one of the symbols for the Department of Defense. We're the ones leading the effort in the war on terrorism overseas."
Renovations to the portion of the building that was hit proved the value of new safety features. The plane plowed into a renovated portion of the building and blast windows near the section that collapsed stayed intact.
"There was one guy that was standing next to the window when the plane hit. He didn't get any injury," Jester said. "Down on the other side of the building, where those windows are regular old 1940s windows, they just blew in." Though the day was tragic, Jester said he has memories that hearten him, as well.
"The most vivid memory was ... employees in the building, running to assist their fellow employees," he said. "People from all the services, every type of uniform (helping each other). ... And that was a very good scene."

Week of FEBRUARY 21, 2011
Kat Carvajal '12
An Always-Willing Leader
If there's a lot to be said for students who are willing to seek out new experiences in new places, then Kat Carvajal has plenty to say. Both of Kat's parents emigrated from Columbia before she was born and made their new home in a vibrant Hispanic community in New England. Kat grew up in Morris County, N.J. where she became accustomed to the "busier" way of life. "Growing up, I was kind of the 'mother type'—very mature for my age," she says. Being able to make the most of her time would become a vital skill for this aspiring doer.
When Kat arrived at GMC, she found herself caught up in a new environment and a new routine, but it didn't take long for her to find her niche. Looking to expand her comfort zone, Kat decided to get involved with a few clubs on campus.
"I like to give back to the community," she explains. "My roommate got me involved with the ICC (International Cultural Club) my freshman year. It really helped ease the culture shock for me." Now Kat serves as the vice-president of the ICC and is helping organize many of their upcoming events, such as the "Global Bazaar" (which Kat described as an international version of the "Sexpo" event, sponsored by PANTS).
In addition to that, Kat serves as an RA on the third floor of North, which she lovingly calls "prime real estate" among the residence halls. She says that they have developed a close bond on her all-girls floor and enjoyed a number of successful floor programs so far this semester. "Most recently, we made Valentine's Day cards for sick children. We had people out in the halls making them; it was a great turnout," she says.
Thriving off of her desire to help the underprivileged, Kat also serves as president of Amnesty International (AI), which includes the responsibility of being the student area coordinator for the entire state of Vermont. Kat says that she's really drawn to the initiatives that AI takes on and has wanted to give the GMC community a chance to jump on board – quite literally, even. AI will be sponsoring a "Get on the Bus" campaign, which is an annual day of human rights education and activism. Kat says there will be more details about how to become involved later in the semester.
On top of all of that, Kat also finds the time to excel in biology – one the college's most rigorous academic programs. Over the years, Kat has become very passionate about the end-goals of science. "I want to be a part of research that makes a difference," she explains. But that's something Kat's already doing, as she manages to squeeze in time as Prof. Mark Jordan's (Biology/Environmental Studies) work study assistant, where she contributed to an ongoing study of various carnivores in Vermont, including bobcats possums, and fisher cats.
Looking ahead, Kat says that—characteristically—she doesn't mind going far away and experiencing something new as she sets her sights on grad school. She's hoping to continue her studies in microbiology and virology (which she's studying now as part of her senior research) at an internship in Mobile, Ala. As for her expectations, they're as clear as they are admirable. "I want to become the best biologist I can be," she says.

Ten turkeys and 200 mince pies served up for Bath Rugby feast
Posted: December 24, 2012|
If you think you have a lot of people to cook for this Christmas spare a thought for Bath Rugby head chef Jerry Quinn.
He was given the mammoth task of cooking more than 200 kilos of ingredients to feed 50 squad members at the club Christmas dinner.
Mr Quinn's shopping list included:
- 10 turkeys
- 8kg of chipolatas
- 20kg of broccoli
- 25kg of potatoes
- 10kg of carrots
- 5kg of peas
- 15kg of Brussels sprouts
- 5kg of turkey stuffing
- 25 litres of gravy
- 5kg of cranberry sauce
- 15kg of Christmas puddings
- 25 litres custard
- 200 mince pies
Mr Quinn said: "We're used to cooking a lot of food for these guys but the annual Christmas lunch is always a challenge.
"It's rare we get everybody together and then the meal itself is pretty big – loads of vegetables plus the turkey, pigs in blankets, Christmas puddings – we started working on the lunch two days ago and the whole catering team was in the kitchen the morning of the meal at 7am."
Club captain Stuart Hooper said: "The chefs do a great job every year of giving us a good Christmas dinner that still meets our nutritional needs."
Meanwhile Bath rugby players took on new roles as Santa's little helpers on a visit to the Royal United Hospital.
The players helped Father Christmas hand out presents to children with special needs at the Pre-school Assessment and Therapy (PAT) Centre.
Bath Rugby Foundation manager Jimmy Deane dressed up as Santa for the Christmas party, much to the delight of patients.
Toys were donated by the Disney Store, and residents at St John's Hospital raised money for the event by holding coffee mornings.
PAT coordinator Nikki Greenwood said: "It is so lovely to see the children enjoying themselves, especially as some of them have to attend the PAT centre for a number of different therapies.
"The Rugby Foundation make this a very special event and we are truly grateful."
Mr Deane, who has been involved with the party for the past seven years, said the Foundation team always looked forward to the event as much as the children.
He said: "This is one of the highlights of the year for the Foundation.
"Just seeing the youngsters' faces as they open their presents is reward enough.
"The hospital makes us so very welcome and we enjoy a great relationship with everyone concerned.
"A huge thank you must go to the Disney Store, St John's Hospital and Sue Tucker from the Forever Friends Appeal who helps with the organisation."

One hundred holes equals $115,000 for Safe Alliance
On Monday, about 18 golfers played 100 holes of golf to benefit Safe Alliance.
This is the third year for the event, which has raised more than $250,000 for the charity. This year, the event raised at least $115,000. As of Tuesday afternoon, the numbers were not official, but that was the projection.
The event is held at The Club at Longview in Waxhaw.
The event becomes a test of speed and endurance for the participating golfers.
"We play fast and furious for the first 36 holes, trying to complete it inside four and a half hours," Nick Page, a co-founder of the event, said in a statement. "Then, we generally shift to a survival rhythm for the middle 36. At that point, we just hang on straight to the finish line. It's all about great friendships, a love of golf and survival."
The golfers played their first hole at 5 a.m. in the pouring rain. After their first hole, the rain ceased and held off for the rest of the day.
The proceeds from the event help Self Alliance, including the Treehouse Advocacy Center in Union County.
Media and Communications Coordinator Bill Coy said the even makes a great statement for the organization.
"What it does, it really is a great statement by men who are taking a stand against domestic violence," Coy said. "They're helping in Union County."
In addition to the Treehouse advocacy center, the proceeds raised will help support the rape crisis center.
"These guys, these are men taking their time ... to help our program work with women and children impacted by domestic violence," Coy said.
The men teed off at 5:45 a.m. and some of them started finishing around 2:30 p.m.
One participant, Cliff Thomas, opted to walk the hundred holes instead of taking a golf cart. He ended up walking about 30 miles around the course.
John Tighe, a participant who also serves on the Safe Alliance board of directors, played 110 holes this year. He has been participating in the event for three years.
"I think everybody that does it would say pretty clearly, it's all about the women and children that find themselves in circumstances where they're dealing with domestic violence ... it rips our heart," Tighe said.
He said the event helps to raise awareness. Many people think these issues only impact people in certain parts of the world, but these issues are everywhere, Tighe said. Statistics say that about one in every four women will be impacted by sexual or domestic abuse.
"It's an eye-opener," he said.
Many of the men are raising daughters or have sisters, Tighe said.
"I think that's where the guys really got behind it," Tighe said. He added that they wanted people to be accountable and say this is wrong.

On September 11th the Atlanta Marriott Northwest associates, in honor of the two Marriott Associates that were killed at the Marriott World Trade Center 10 years ago, planted two Crepe Myrtle trees and placed a monument by them. Over the weekend of the 11th, ribbons were worn by all of their associates. Frank, the General Manager, is able to see the trees from his office. He says many guests stop outside to read the plaque as they walk by.
All HEI hotels had Earth Day activities. At the Sheraton Music City the Earth Day celebration included a special lunch for all associates with EC members carving prime rib. All associates were given special Earth Day Bags provided by HEI and two trees were planted.
For Earth Day 2011, the Sheraton Austin Hotel participated in a new sustainable landscaping initiative. New landscaping was created by using all local native and drought resistant plant materials. Texas is undergoing one of the worst droughts in fifty years. Their new initiative complements local community efforts and is compliant with the Austin Green Conservation program. The new plants are expected to save approximately 5,200 gallons of water each year. In addition, all associates also took a pledge not to use plastic and utilize the new Earth Day reusable shopping bags!
Cow Power!
Poop Power!! Really, it's true… 1811 House has gone to the cows by buying electricity from Cow Power.
By now you should have noticed that we have replaced most standard light bulbs in your hotel with compact fluorescents. These new bulbs use less power, give off less heat, and last 10x longer than a regular light bulb. Don't believe me? Chief Engineer Federico Zickbauer of the Sheraton Ft Lauderdale is shown here with a bulb he just replaced. This bulb burns 24 hours a day in their lobby and as you can see by the date was installed in 2006. That's over 43,000 hours of use!
To promote saving energy, the Embassy Suites Tyson's Corner held a poster contest. The winner won a day off with pay! All the posters were great and the vote ended in a tie. Pictured with their winning posters are Luan Woo (Maintenance Tech), Elmer Reyes (Director of Facilities) and Genevieve Mike (Food and Beverage Supervisor).

What you need:
8'x10' Tarp
4 Tent Pegs
1 Hiking pole
A type of guyline[I used 10ft of paracord]
Measuring tape
Hole puncher
Paracord scraps
Step 1: The model
I marked the paper with a Sharpie where the grommets are.
Since I didn't want to add grommets I cut it on the dot in the boxes that are on the picture and made a triangle.
Then I folded the paper in half.
This is the model I went off of.
Step 2: Cutting the tarp
Next thing you do is cut the lines with the scissors. Make sure that you cut on the outside of the grommets instead of the inside ans that you leave some of the tarp around the grommets.
Step 3: Setting it up
Step 4: Making the door and adding it.[Optional]
A good alternative would be the trucker's hitch, it is more secure, and with enough practice, can be tied with one gloved hand.
It's a cheat sheet for loads of different configurations.

90 Texas L. Rev. 163
Professor Auslander reviews Inga Markovits's book, Justice in Lüritz: Experiencing Socialist Law in East Germany. As the title indicates, the book sets out to account for the workings of the law under socialist governance in the German Democratic Republic. Auslander focuses her review on two features of the book that make it unique and significant. The first is a lack of direct references to primary sources. While maybe to the chagrin of traditional historians, Auslander notes that adherence to strict citation practice is not appropriate for the type of study that Markovits engages in; rather, since the purpose of Justice in Lüritz is to convey how people experienced the legal system, the appropriate analogy is to sociology and anthropology—two fields where direct citations to primary sources are often unavailable. Further, had Markovits limited herself to sources that could have been "properly documented," Auslander argues our understanding of East German law would have been greatly diminished.

June 30, 2013 | Lon Keller: Patent Troll Threatens Podcasters
Personal Audio, LLC, a company who setup headquarters in an unoccupied office suite in Texas, has filed lawsuits against technology companies like Apple, large media companies such as CBS and NBC and individual podcasters including Adam Carolla's ACE Broadcasting, HowStuffWorks.com, and Togi Entertainment, claiming all parties have infringed on Personal Audio LLC's U.S. Patent 8,112,504. In a nutshell, Personal Audio, LLC claims they invented podcasting, they own it, and everybody needs to pay them money.
The patent was filed on March 4, 2009, but podcasting had already began roughly 5 years earlier. Adam Curry, considered to be one of the early podcasting pioneers, started his "Daily Source Code" podcast in August, 2004. Even Sundog's own podcast posted its first episode in November of 2007.
March 01, 2010 | Lon Keller: Podcast Listeners: Highly Reachable American Consumers
As more television and radio consumers fall off the mass media grid, opting instead to receive content from a variety of online sources, including podcasts, they also become a more reachable audience and more accepting of advertising. It seems a bit counter-intuitive, but a recent report from Edison Research tells exactly that story.
April 02, 2009 | Lon Keller: Web Video: Your ROI is Waiting
Spend $1, get $10 in return. Some businesses are finding phenomenal success by investing advertising dollars in web-delivered media. In a recent interview from Beet.TV, Diggnation co-host Alex Albrecht talks about his personal success and the value web-delivered media can provide advertisers.
In related news, while television viewership is at an all-time high, the most recent Nielsen A2/M2 Three Screen Report shows more people are using internet to receive that content. Check out our latest podcast (#19) to learn more.
November 25, 2008 | Lon Keller: New President Meets New Media
2008 certainly gave us not only one of the most memorable presidential campaigns, but one that made the most of the internet. There's an interesting recap from Podcasting News of how new media played a role in the 2008 election. Not too surprisingly, Obama thumped McCain soundly when it came to the overall success and innovative use of the internet, largely because the Obama camp did a better job of controlling their online message.
July 17, 2008 | Lon Keller: We Expand or We Die
Few things test our patience better than seeing the word "buffering" when watching a video or listening to audio on our computers. But please, don't get mad at the internet. The internet was built to do one thing, move little packets of data from point A to point B. That's it. Bandwidth dictates how many packets make the journey and how fast they get there. And three things determine your bandwidth: 1-Location. 2-Your Internet Service Provider. 3-Your bank account.
June 27, 2008 | Lon Keller: Spreading The Word
Investors.com, the online version of the Investor's Business Daily newspaper, has published an article that says advertisers are placing more of their budgets with podcasts. To me, the good news here is not the fact that ad spend with podcasting is on the rise (we've known about that for some time now) but that a more established and respected institution like the IBD is telling the story.
IBD editors also have their own podcast. You can find it here. See ... this is part of how the podcasting game works. You find a podcast you like and spread the word.
May 23, 2008 | Lon Keller: Podcast Audience Up, Up, and Not Going Away!
Once again, new evidence has emerged that continues to legitimize podcasting as a formidable means of content and information distribution. In its third annual report on podcast consumption, the 2008 Arbitron/Edison Media Research Internet and Multimedia study reveals significant growth in the consumption of audio and video podcasts. eMarketer agrees, predicting podcast audiences will increase 251% in 2012. That's less than four years folks. This is big news considering today's market where consumers have a vast amount of choices for information and entertainment.
April 03, 2008 | Lon Keller: Podcasters: Don't quit your day job—just yet.
Those of us in the podcasting game, both subscribers and producers alike, have listened for the past 4 years on how podcasting could allow a content producer to quit their day job and reap the rewards of financial freedom.
Recently, Michael W. Geoghegan posted some very insightful thoughts on the topic, going as far to say that podcasting is a community rather than an industry.
November 08, 2007 | Lon Keller: Sundog: The Podcast
Today we have launched Sundog: The Podcast. Visit the website and subscribe today!
On the show, we'll take an entertaining look at the news, trends and best practices surrounding the worlds of internet marketing, Web 2.0 development and traditional media, and focus on how all these tie together to improve your company's bottom line. Our first show focuses on the challenges businesses face controlling their brand in today's Web 2.0 environment. Thanks to Greg Ness, Eric Ista and Matt Charpentier for guest-starring on episode #1!
September 26, 2007 | Lon Keller: Podcasting Continues to Gain Credibility ... and Income.
For those closely following our changing media landscape, you may already be familiar with the recently formed Association for Downloadable Media, an organization whose primary goal is to develop standards for podcasting advertising and audience measurement. On Friday, September 28th, the ADM will be hold its first in-person meeting at the Podcasting and New Media Expo. This will give attendees the chance to discuss the goals of the organization and discover what benefits podcasters may gain through ADM membership.
March 06, 2007 | Greg Ness: Podcasts A to Z
The number of podcasts available is growing at a phenomenal rate. Podcast.net now lists about 40,000 options for your selection. Another great directory is Yahoo Podcasts with both a category- and tag-driven engine for finding what you want.
February 13, 2007 | Ron Lee: Return on Complaint
The San Francisco Chronicle is doing more than listening to its readers when they sound off. SFGate.com editors now are actually making audio files and podcasts out of some of their more vocal readers' comments (or complaints) in a new section called "Correct me if I'm wrong."

Step 2: Measure, Cut, and Tie
2. Tie the yarn together. Double knot to make the knot bigger.
Step 3: Braid
If you don't know how to braid:
1. Take the left piece of yarn and pull it over the middle piece. You are essentially switching the middle and left piece.
2. Take the right piece and pull it over the new middle piece (the one that was on the originally on the left)
3.Keep repeating until you reach the bottom
4.Double knot again when you are done
Step 4: Finishing up (that was fast, right?)
2. Cut two pieces of yarn. Thread would work to if you wanted it to be less noticeable but it isn't as strong.
3. Use those two pieces of yarn (or thread, whatever floats your boat) to tie knots on the overlapping area.
4. Trim the knots.
5. Pull those knots toward the edges (the double knots you made earlier).

With Halloween "creeping" up on us, here a few fun facts to get you in the mood. I like Halloween but mainly because of all the fun TV shows and movies. I really like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Hocus Pocus, Ernest Scared Stupid, and all the various cartoon specials…especially Simpson's Treehouse of Horrors. The candy of course is a big bonus too. What's your favorite thing about Halloween?

Integrating Ecosystem Services into Public and Private Sector Decision Making
December 3, 2013
This month's seminar features a discussion on how ecosystem services can be factored into a variety of public and private sector decisions in ways that support environmental, social and economic goals. Human well-being and nature are inextricably linked. Yet policies and practices related to human development and ecosystem protection are too often developed separately or even viewed as in opposition. By considering nature in terms of ecosystem services, decision makers can see and value the environment as a series of assets or benefits that humans in fact depend upon.

(AP) PITTSBURGH - Shareholders of H.J. Heinz Co. will vote on April 30 whether to sell the ketchup maker to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital for $23.3 billion.
Heinz also said Wednesday that antitrust regulators approved the deal early, clearing one of the conditions to completing the transaction.
Heinz shareholders will receive $72.50 in cash for each share they own if the deal is approved.
Based on Pittsburgh-based Heinz's number of shares outstanding, the deal is worth $23.3 billion. Including debt, the deal is worth about $28 billion.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc., based in Omaha, Neb., is putting up $12.12 billion in return for half of the equity in Heinz, as well as $8 billion of preferred shares that pay 9 percent. Brazil's 3G Capital will run Heinz.
