Visiting angler and Wisconsin outdoorsman Dan Small recently pulled in a 39-inch tiger muskie on a fly rod from the St. Regis River at Brasher Falls.
The tiger muskie is a rarity in St. Lawrence River tributaries. A sterile cross between a muskie and northern pike, the fish are stocked primarily in Central New York lakes. Small is an award-winning radio and TV host, writer and photographer focusing on Wisconsin outdoor recreation and issues. His brother, Dr. Michael Small of Long Lake, set an angling record last year with a 51-inch muskie caught on a fly rod from the St. Regis River.
The two brothers met at Jellybeans Riverside Campground on the St. Regis with plans to fish for several days before heading to the Outdoor Writers Conference in Lake Placid.
On his first evening - first 10 minutes - first 5 casts Dan Small hooked-up with the hybrid beauty on the Hawg-Frawg fly Sting Bee yellow/black pattern created by his brother Mike.
He was casting into a big backwater with a 10-weight St. Croix rod which belonged to his brother Mike who tied a two-foot section of sink-tip line into the leader to make the floating fly dive about a foot.
At the Outdoor Writers Conference, DEC biologists told Dan Small that all muskies in the St. Regis and St. Lawrence are naturally spawned.
Biologists offered the explanation that the tiger was most likely a natural hydrbid produced when a male northern impregnated the egg of a female muskie.
Small also learned that with shallow pike spawning habitat decreasing on the St. Lawrence some northerns are spawning later in deep water in same spawning areas of muskies.

BUFFALO, NY - As the national debate over immigration remains hot, here in New York, lawmakers are battling over whether to give college-bound students, who are children of illegal immigrants, help with tuition.
The push would dramatically change the education immigration laws in the state.
Specifically, the bill would allow students who are children of illegal immigrants to get state aid for college. Right now, state law prohibits these young people from receiving such help.
Statewide, hundreds of thousands of children of illegal immigrants are denied the opportunity to go to college because they can't get financial aid.
"I think that everybody should be given the opportunity to rise above poverty and this allows that to happen," said Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes, (D) 141st District.
Children of illegal immigrants could get the assistance from a fund that government appointees would fund raise for. It would be pumped with private dollars. Taxpayers could also send their money there. And students would also be able to apply for a state TAP grant, that's funded by taxpayers and is worth up to $5,000. Erie County legislator Lynne Dixon has introduced a resolution urging state lawmakers to oppose the bill.
"There are a lot of hardworking citizens who are having hard enough times finding ways to put their own children through school, finding it hard enough to get any financial aid," she said.
For students who are non-residents to get aid, they would need to be a high school graduate or have gotten a diploma through another route. They have to apply to a state college. And they also have to file an affidavit with the institution showing that they're trying to be a legal citizen.
"So much of what we are doing at the state level right now, I think in some respects puts the cart before the horse, they have to resolve this issue at the federal level right now," said Dixon.
Peoples-Stokes says that 2,500 people could probably benefit from this bill in Western New York. The bill is in committee in the Assembly and the same bill has been introduced in the Senate.
"For anyone to think that we should not want all Americans including potential Americans to be educated, then I wonder what society we're really living in," Peoples-Stokes said.

Caleb Deschanel, ASC,
winner of the 2010 ASC Lifetime
Achievement Award, has the
luxury of choosing his projects
carefully. His most recent feature
film, Jack Reacher, appealed to
him because it embodied the
straightforward, honest values of
a classic western.
Tom Cruise stars as a former
Army MP trying to get to the
bottom of a crime spree in
which five people are shot
dead by a master sniper. The
cast also includes Robert
Duvall, Rosamund Pike and
Werner Herzog.
"It was like making a western
set in modern times," Deschanel
says. "The main character does
the right thing and lives up to
his word. I was familiar with
Christopher McQuarrie's work
as a writer (The Usual Suspects,
Valkyrie), and I thought he had
done a great job directing The
Way of the Gun. I really liked
the script a lot, and I thought it
would be an exciting, interesting
project. I'm pretty well hooked
on the novels of Lee Child now."
Deschanel is a five-time
OSCAR‰ nominee whose
credits include The Right Stuff,
The Natural, Fly Away Home,
The Passion of the Christ, The
Patriot and Abraham Lincoln:
Vampire Hunter. When he first
discussed the visual tone of
Jack Reacher with McQuarrie,
they looked at many of the
gritty, action-oriented films of
the 1970s. But these films were
more a point of departure for
discussion than a model.
"You have your guidelines
about what you want it to look
and feel like," explains the
cinematographer, "but then
you go out and respond to the
situation, and figure out how to
shoot each scene. It's not locked
in stone. You live up to the style
as you go along, and it infuses
the film."
One important factor in
the look was the filmmakers'
decision to shoot Jack Reacher
in 35mm anamorphic format.
"We were both excited about
shooting this movie on film,"
he says. "There's a certain
vernacular to film. Digital has made advances, but I don't
think we would have gotten
the same kind of homage
to those classic films if we
had shot digitally. We even
pushed some of the night
scenes a bit so we could get
a feeling of grain and add to
that filmic quality."
Deschanel used
PANAVISION cameras and
Color Negative Film 5219
and KODAK VISION3 200T
Color Negative Film 5213. The
lenses were a combination
of PANAVISION G-series,
E-series and others, mostly
in the middle range of focal
lengths. Deschanel says he
loves how the anamorphic
lenses make lights in the
background change shape
and fall out of focus.
"They just give the image
a wonderful quality," he
adds. "Also, you're shooting
with less depth of field for
the same width, so you can
use selective focus to draw
the attention of the audience
around the frame. Getting the
same width of frame with a
longer lens is much more
becoming on an actor or
actress than shooting
close with a really
wide-angle spherical
"I also like that the
anamorphic lenses
are not perfect," he
says. "There are
slight aberrations
at the edges, for
example, and I think
those look really
cool. There is a
wonderful threedimensionality
to the newer
ones. We had
a lot of great
The shoot took place in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Deschanel praises the local
crews, who had their hands
full with a wide variety of car
rigs and other equipment for
capturing the shots.
Pursuit Systems
and operator
Greg Baldi made
Deschanel says
the camera
was "always
moving in
interesting ways." Cruise did
all of his own stunt driving,
which meant it was important
to get some exposure on him.
Deschanel used tiny LED strip
lights on the rearview mirror and
elsewhere in the car interior, and
dialed the intensity up or down.
The digital intermediate
was done at Technicolor with
supervising digital colorist Mitch
Paulson. "We didn't do anything
fancy in the DI," says Deschanel.
"I basically tried to pretend
that we were going to post
photochemically. Obviously,
you take advantage of the fact
that you have a DI in which you
can brighten and darken certain
corners of the frame. But for
the most part, I just tried to get
it to look as much like film
as possible. I have to say,
the film out prints just look
better than the DCP. There's
just something about the
darker areas. They have
a kind of life to them that
you don't get with digital
projection. You don't feel
that there's any space
there — it just ends. The
film print looks really good
— in the blacks, you feel
like you're seeing forever.
"This movie really
lived up to the potential
of the script," Deschanel
concludes. "Tom's demeanor
and acting chops make him
bigger than life, in a way. It
was a really cool, really fun
movie to do. We just felt good
doing it."

Many of the laws and procedures governing high school no longer apply when a student enters higher education. The ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Acts are the primary laws applying to college.
Read more information.
The most important are copies of recent diagnostic assessments documenting the nature of the disability (e.g., for a learning disability, a neuropsychological assessment). High School Special Education or 504 plans are useful, but usually not sufficient. The University is required to assess eligibility for accommodations and determine what accommodations are appropriate based on the documentation. See Information for Students and Forms.
We are happy to discuss your concerns with you as a parent. If your student has notified us as part of the admissions process (you are not required to do this in the application – it is your option) or after being admitted, there will be an invitation to the student to meet with a Student Disability Services provider over the summer before school starts. You are very welcome to participate in this meeting. However, you need to know that in higher education the responsibility for providing documentation and notifying us of any specific needs or concerns belongs to the student. Students need to request class accommodations at the beginning of each semester for any particular class they are taking.

Eclampsia Definition and Overview
Eclampsia, a life-threatening complication of pregnancy, is a condition that causes a pregnant woman, usually previously diagnosed with preeclampsia (high blood pressure and protein in the urine), to develop seizures or coma. In some cases, seizures or coma may be the first recognizable sign that a pregnant woman has had preeclampsia. Key warning signs of developing eclampsia in a woman diagnosed with preeclampsia may be severe headaches, blurred or double vision, seeing spots, or abdominal pain. Toxemia of pregnancy is a common name formerly used to describe preeclampsia and eclampsia.
There has never been any evidence suggesting an orderly progression of disease beginning with mild preeclampsia progressing to severe preeclampsia and then on to eclampsia. The disease process can begin mild and stay mild, or can be initially diagnosed as eclampsia without prior warning.

|Tainted Hogs
|Written by Dave Blanks
|Thursday, 26 April 2007 08:58
The tainted pet food scare has now worked its way to one North Carolina hog farm -- but state agriculture officials say that it is not affecting the food supply.Hogs at one unnamed western North Carolina farm tested positive for Melamine, a chemical used to make plastic, after eating tainted feed. Melamine was also found in dog and cat food which has been recalled, after a number of pet deaths. The chemcial was traced to rice protetin in pet food, which was deemed imperfect for sale to the general public, which was used as a component of the hog feed. The farm has been quarantined, according to assistant state veterinarian Mary Ann McBride. She says they do not have any indication that the tainted food has been used on any other farms in North Carolina. She says the North Carolina pigs were fed the tainted feed for only one day -- and have shown no signs of illness. The 1,400 hogs are being monitored. No decision has been made on whether to destroy the animals. Farms in at least five other states may also be affected.

POTSDAM The town has continued to plan its takeover of the Potsdam recreation program, proposing the creation of a special taxing district that excludes the village of Norwood.
The legality of such action has been in question since March, when village trustees voted to drop funding for recreation, leaving it to the town. Costs for the program had long been split evenly between the town and village.
The central legal question was whether the town could create a taxing district to fund the recreation program without adding to the tax burden of those who live in Norwood, which has its own recreation facilities. Apparently it can, according to Supervisor Marie C. Regan.
We finally got some feedback from the comptrollers office, she said.
The state comptroller told the town it could create a parks and recreation district, encompassing all town properties except for those within Norwood. Taxpayers who live within the newly created district will pay for town parks, the salary of recreation employees and upkeep at the Pine Street Arena. Norwood residents will not, instead continuing to fund their own village recreation program.
Once the town has worked out a plan, it will hold public informational meetings to educate the community.
The proposal will have to go through a waiting period before it can become law. During this time, town residents will be able to vote down the creation of a district.
Mrs. Regan said she will begin work right away, mapping out the affected areas and starting to figure out the 2014 budget to incorporate the possible change.
This means we need to start on the budget immediately, she said.
The town does have some leeway. Village trustees voted in April to continue funding half of the recreation program through the end of 2014 if needed.
At a town board meeting Tuesday, officials discussed the fate of town residents who live outside Norwood but still use village recreation facilities. There are no simple answers, according to Ms. Regan.
Everybody thought this would be so easy. Its not, she said.
Meanwhile, the town will pursue state grants to renovate Pine Street Arena, which has fallen into disrepair.

Metrics: December 2010 Archives
For the record, interactive media are growing and transforming the way people communicate with brands, with content and with each other. What interactive media do not need is badly executed and poorly reported research. The media themselves already resonate with consumers and the marketing ecosystem.
What specific piece of poorly executed research prompted this? On December 13, Forrester released its North American Technographics Report to great fanfare. Much was made of a finding that simply does not synch up with everything we know using other data sources. According to Forrester, consumers reported that they spent 13 hours a week watching TV and 13 hours a week using the internet in January and February of 2010. Fanfare surrounding the purported parity was nearly matched by the furor over the fact that all other data sources show nothing of the kind. For the same time period, comScore reported that people spend 7 hours and 24 minutes a week using the internet.
The IAB does not need to shill for TV so the fact that Nielsen reports that TV viewing levels are in excess of 30 hours per week is not the point. The point is that we, the IAB and the overwhelming majority of members, stand for transparency and consistency in measurement. We sincerely believe that good measurement must be the barometer against which all media are evaluated.
Putting out numbers that confuse the already confused marketplace—numbers that are based on a methodology that every expert would say is inferior for the purposes of measuring media usage—serves no one. Self-reported usage data rely on consumers' memories and on their desire to disclose what they do with media. Everyone knows that most people are using the internet at work and spending significant time doing so. We all know that being a "couch potato" is not perceived to be as cool as using new media. We know that people watch TV content on digital media. And, we know that most people are not sitting around making many of the distinctions about media that the professionals do. So why would we expect that people can accurately report their media usage using our artificial business distinctions?
A really thorough review of the Forrester study would also require thinking about the sample. Is it representative of broad population groups? Can the findings be generalized beyond the sample? These complexities are beyond the scope of today's blog.
Planning and buying media for the purposes of marketing to consumers relies on what people do, not on what they say. To those who continue to confuse the marketplace, we say please consider the disservice you do to all of us. To those who accept counterintuitive information, we say caveat emptor.
Sherrill Mane is Senior Vice President for Industry Services at the IAB.

This unique mixture of Hollywood magic and comic book sensibilities has been the hallmark of the Max Payne franchise since the first game hit the PC way back in 2001. The bullet-time feature caught my attention, but that sexy cinematic style is what kept me playing. Without it, Max Payne is just another third-person shooter.
Thankfully it looks like Rockstar is doing a fine job of building upon the strong foundation created by the first two games, crafting a truly cinematic experience that bleeds in and out of actual gameplay in seamless fashion.
Now I'm excited all over again.

Beverly Sills
AP Photo/Wyatt Counts
Beverly Sills 1929-2007
Beverly Sills, the acclaimed Brooklyn-born coloratura soprano who was more popular with the American public than any opera singer since Enrico Caruso, even among people who never set foot in an opera house, died on July 2 at her home in Manhattan. The cause was inoperable lung cancer, said her personal manager, Edgar Vincent. She was 78.
Ms. Sills was America's idea of a prima donna. Her plain-spoken manner and telegenic vitality made her a genuine celebrity and an invaluable advocate for the fine arts. Her life embodied an archetypal American story of humble origins, years of struggle, family tragedy and artistic triumph.
At a time when American opera singers routinely went overseas for training and professional opportunities, Ms. Sills was a product of her native country and did not even perform in Europe until she was 36. At a time when opera singers regularly appeared as guests on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," Ms. Sills was the only opera star who was invited to be guest host. She made frequent television appearances with Carol Burnett, Danny Kaye and even the Muppets. --Anthony Tommasini

Make the right decisions when purchasing appliances
From preparing and enjoying meals to gathering and socializing with friends and family, the kitchen is likely a high-traffic room in your home. Of course, the usability of your kitchen is only as good as the appliances installed inside it. Whether you're remodeling your entire kitchen from the flooring to ceiling paint or upgrading a single kitchen appliance, Sears has the equipment you need to create a highly functional space in your home.
If you have a big, open kitchen space, you may have more options for varying appliance sizes and models. If you have a galley kitchen, you'll want small, reliable appliances that won't take up too much space but still offer the same benefits of larger models. You may need a new fridge to store food or a range to cook your favorite dishes. When you're finished cooking, clean the dirty place settings and cookware in a new dishwasher that leaves your glassware spot free and your silverware shining.
When you're shopping for kitchen appliances, the appearance and functionality are as important as the included features. Whether you're looking for a dual-cooling fridge or convection wall oven, you can find a set or individual appliance that will fit your home.

text: Since 1997, our infamous Arrogant Bastard Ale has been kicking fizzy yellow beer drinkers square in the palate and forcing them to take notice of what good beer really is, forever changing the tastes and habits of the uninitiated and converting them to the culture of craft beer. Such was the instant allure of this mighty brew that the year after it debuted, we crafted an imperialized version and dubbed it Double Bastard Ale. Other iterations followed: a wood-infused take called OAKED Arrogant Bastard Ale, as well as a blend of all of the aforementioned members of the Arrogant Bastard Ale family called Lukcy Basartd Ale (no, you didn't read that wrong, and we didn't commit an offense against the grammar gods…that's the way we spell it). All four are cult favorites among craft beer enthusiasts craving exceptional brews with substantial flavor and oomph. This year, that lengthy staying power led us to celebrate the beer by not only conducting our annual November release of Double Bastard Ale, but also reviving two other dastardly Bastard variations and adding an entirely new offspring of this self-assured line to the mix. Get to know all three of this year's specialties and marvel at their complexity, diversity and awesome ability to continue to engage—and perhaps challenge—even the most stalwart craft beer devotee.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - It's hard to overlook, the stately headquarters of the Buffalo chapter of the American Red Cross.
The impressive stone mansion sits at the corner of Delaware Ave and Summer Street, a lasting tribute to the talents of architect E.B. Green.
The house was built in 1914 for $300,000. Stephen Clement was the president of the Marine Trust company at the time and he wanted his home to be truly unique.
They wanted it to resemble a Tudor castle.
The outside walls are grey sandstone, the interior walls are white limestone and the floors are marble.
Mr. Clement, however, never lived in the home. He passed away before it was complete. His widow carried on with the home and the Clement's benevolence. She started a summer camp in Angola for underprivileged children, donated the land for the parish house at Westminster Church on Delaware Avenue, but her largest gift was the home itself. Mrs. Clement donated it to the Red Cross in 1941.

16 sessions of CBT
|Active Comparator: 2. Client Centered Therapy
Behavioral: Client Centered Therapy
16 sessions of CCT
Detailed Description:
This protocol proposes to study neurobehavioral and social correlates of treatment response in 200 youth (ages 9-13) with general anxiety disorder (GAD), separation anxiety disorder (SAD), and social phobia (SP). All youth with an anxiety disorder will receive 14 weeks of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Client Centered Therapy (CCT) for child anxiety disorders. The study combines state-of-the-art measures from affective neuroscience, ecologically valid (EMA) measures of mood and behavior in natural environments, and measures of family and social context within a developmentally framed treatment study. The study design focuses on predictors and mechanisms of treatment response. This protocol will test key features of a "vigilance-avoidance" model focusing on hypotheses that pretreatment neural correlates of affective reactivity will predict treatment response and early changes in emotional processing will correlate with clinical response during treatment. In addition, the protocol examines how affective experiences within the family and social context are associated with treatment response and change across treatment, and how these are associated with and interact with neurobehavioral changes in affective functioning. Taken together these aspects of the study will advance understanding of the neurobehavioral, affective, and social processes that underpin treatment response in ways that will inform the design, refinement, and optimal developmental timing of cognitive behavioral treatments, and thus, decrease the morbidity, mortality, and lifetime impairments from these common disorders in youth.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
NEW YORK (AP) - McDonald's says it will reach out to a man widely quoted in accounts of the three women who were found in Cleveland after they went missing about a decade ago.
Charles Ramsey, who lives in the neighborhood where the women were found, noted in an interview with a local TV station that he was eating McDonald's when the scene unfolded Monday. He also made note of his meal in a 911 call. Both the interview and the 911 call went viral online.
On Tuesday, the world's biggest hamburger company said on Twitter: "We salute the courage of Ohio kidnap victims & respect their privacy. Way to go Charles Ramsey - we'll be in touch."
Representatives for McDonald's, based in Oak Brook, Ill., did not immediately return calls for comment.

Ruben Gamez says freemium doesn't work. Yet Dropbox, MailChimp and Evernote say freemium does work. So, does freemium work or not?
This is the wrong question. The right question is: when does freemium work? [1]
The business model for Rapportive (which adds rich contact profiles to your email) is simple: build an amazingly useful product, and charge money for it. It will most likely be freemium: a base version of Rapportive will always be free, and there will be a premium version which costs money. We think that this strategy will work for us.
But why? What signals indicate whether freemium will work? I think it depends on many things: the type of product you have, the kind of company you want to build, and more.
10 questions to consider:
How do users feel about your product, as a function of time?
Products which increase in value over time are good candidates for freemium.
Neil Davidson has a good illustration of this.
Do users love your product for a short while, and then get bored of it? (casual games) Are they oblivious to it most of the time, but occasionally desperate for it? (data recovery tools) Do they always dislike it? (virus scanners) Or does it gradually get more useful over time? [2]. For example, a tool which recovers corrupted photos from your camera is unlikely to work as freemium (cameras can corrupt files, but it happens rarely), whereas a tool such as Evernote works well as a freemium (it becomes more useful over time as you enter more data into it).
How good is your long-term retention?
With good retention, you have a better chance of converting free users to paid users.
Your product may become more useful over time, but if a large proportion of free users stop using it after a while, that's bad news if you were hoping to convert them to paying later on. In that case, you should probably ask them for money early, while you still have their attention, or improve your retention! However, if a large proportion of your free users stick around for a long time, and your product becomes more useful over time, more and more of them will eventually convert from free to paid.
Does your product require behaviour change, or can people start using it gradually?
If people can start using your product gradually, freemium might work.
For example, an image editor requires an abrupt change of behaviour: you've got to stop using the old one and start using the new one. In that case, charging all users from day one may actually help you: by having spent money, users are more likely to also spend the time learning how to use the new application (due to the sunk cost fallacy), and thus end up getting more value from the product. On the other hand, if your product doesn't have a big learning overhead and users can gently start using it, it may be better to charge for it later.
Does your product have distinct modes of use for different audiences?
If it does, you can be more creative with your freemium model.
I am fascinated by Yammer's business model. They get lots of people in an organisation to use it for free; then sometime later, when there are lots of active users, they sell the enterprise IT department on stuff like data ownership, admin controls and security tools. The end-users who sign up do not care about the admin features; the IT department does, and they are a separate audience. This is an interesting take on freemium: always free for end users, always paid-for for IT departments doing their job.
What is your market like?
If you are targeting a large unmet need, you should make your product free.
When faced with a wide open field you should be in land-grab mode, and acquire users before your competitors do. On the other hand, if you're in a well-established market, you'll need to gradually convince users to move away from their existing solutions. In this case, charging money is the best way of finding customers who care enough about the problem that they are willing to pay for a better solution.
Are you targeting a premium niche?
Free users are the opposite of premium.
Sometimes free users are more troublesome than paid users (for example, MailChimp was faced with a spam problem when they started offering a free plan). If you are going for the top end of the market, giving something away for free may hurt you more than it benefits you. The price of your product says a lot about your positioning, and people tend to assume that if something is free, it's less valuable than something expensive.
Which metric do you use to separate free from paying users?
Freemium makes sense if there's an obvious point to start charging.
Do your users need to pay when they exceed a certain number of seats, credits or widgets? Picking a metric is tricky, and is a topic worthy of a separate blog post. Number of seats is a common metric, but it only makes sense for applications where there's a downside to everyone using the same login. (For example, if your application is an analytics dashboard, it doesn't really matter if there's one shared login or each person has a separate login.) If there is no obvious metric which separates free from paying users, you should probably charge everybody.
Do you depend on word-of-mouth marketing?
More users (even if they are free) = more mouths.
If yes, note that more people using your product means more mouths to spread the word. You still need to reach the right kind of users, so the question is: can you reach people who will pay, through the word of people who will remain forever free? My guess is that if you're targeting a specific niche, word-of-mouth spread and willingness to pay are strongly correlated (which suggests that there is little benefit in having lots of free users); if you're targeting a broad audience, the two are uncorrelated, so free users can help you carry the word to people who will pay. [3]
What kind of company do you want to build?
You need lots of users if you want to take over the world.
If you've taken venture capital and want to take over the world, you need to grow quickly, even if it means leaving revenue on the table. If you want to grow organically and maximise profits, you're better off maximising revenue per user, and ignoring those users who would never pay you anyway.
What are your costs per user?
They had better be low if you have lots of free users.
Are your costs fixed (developers, testers) or variable (servers, support)? If your variable costs are low enough, it's fine to have a low conversion rate, because one paid-for user may pay for 1,000 free users. Support for free users is often the limiting factor. To keep your support burden low, you'll need to make your product easy to use and fix all your bugs... but that's well worth doing anyway!
So why does Ruben say that free plans don't work? Well, for his situation, I think he's absolutely right. Let's consider the above questions for Bidsketch.
Bidsketch a workflow tool for designers: it's immediately valuable and then probably stays this valuable over time. It requires a change of behaviour: stop using email and start using Bidsketch. It has two distinct modes of use (one for designers and one for clients), but it seems pitched at one audience (designers). It competes with email, a well established solution. It seems to target a premium niche of the best freelance designers; this is not a tool for everybody. Ruben is self-declared Micropreneur who wants his business to grow organically. And because he's working by himself (as far as I can tell), the support burden of free users would be significant.
So I agree: freemium is not right for Ruben's product. But it might be right for yours.
[1] This is a popular failure mode for online discussion, and a pet peeve of mine. 14 months or so ago, the NoSQL community was squabbling about "mine is better" – "no, mine is", so I contributed a post explaining when you should use which type of database.
[2] Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, gave an excellent talk on Evernote's business metrics in May. It's packed with great insights for products which gradually become more useful over time.
"Every month, the longer you use [Evernote], the more valuable it gets. And since the long-term retention is flat, and the conversion goes up, what you see is: the longer a cohort stays, the more valuable they become." (at 14'55")
Examining the cohort of users which signed up in March 2008, Phil found that after 3 months, they were making $300/month from 11,000 people (a conversion rate of about 0.6%); 22 months later, they were making $8,000/month from the same 11,000 people (a conversion rate of about 16%)!
"Users are kind of like a nice wine, or a stinky cheese. As [a cohort of users] ages, it actually gets better. A lot of the people who wouldn't pay leave, and a lot of the people who stay end up paying. Even though there's no hard sell, and you can use Evernote forever for free, a much larger percentage winds up converting." (at 17'05")
Of course, not every application increases in value to users over time.
[3] Rapportive has broad appeal and is not limited to a specific niche, so it makes sense for us to have lots of free users. When Brad Feld recently said that he was trying Gmail, a chorus of our users jumped to recommend Rapportive to him. We wouldn't have got that without lots of people using and loving our product.

A familiar sight took the court to start the second quarter of Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.
When the West's five-man unit walked onto the floor, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Kevin Durant comprised three-fifths of the lineup.
A familiar sight took the court to start the second quarter of Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.
When the West's five-man unit walked onto the floor, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Kevin Durant comprised three-fifths of the lineup.
Just like old times.
It was the first time the former Thunder trio shared the court as teammates since the blockbuster October trade that sent Harden to Houston. Perhaps it was no coincidence that the well-known, three-headed monster scored the first nine points of the period for the West All-Stars.
"We're back together and it seems like we never left each other," Harden said over the weekend. "We're brothers. Simple as that. We're always going to be brothers."
But what will become of the Thunder?
Wednesday night, in its first game out of the All-Star break, the Thunder will face Harden and the Rockets for the third and final time this season. It's the 54th game of the season for OKC, but the jury is still out on whether the Thunder is better or worse without Harden. Like it or not, that's what the success of this season ultimately will be determined by, and we're still a ways away from arriving at the place in which we'll learn the definitive answer.
"The value of James Harden doesn't show in the regular season," said TNT analyst Kenny Smith. "It's only going to show in the playoffs."
That could be the biggest reason why the Thunder, strictly from a statistical standpoint, is better this year than it was a year ago.
Oklahoma City is scoring 112.4 points per 100 possessions, which leads the league and is 2.6 points on average more than last year's ultraefficient pace. The Thunder also has led the league in team scoring for much of the year, but its 106 points per game currently trails the Rockets by one-tenth of a point for tops in the league.
At 39-14, the Thunder's .736 winning percentage projects to eclipse last year's .712 mark, which stands as an Oklahoma City-era record for won-loss percentage.
More frequently than not, there have been nights like Feb. 8, when the Thunder scored a season-high 127 points behind a balanced team attack, that lead you to think this year's success is no fluke. But there have been times like last Thursday, when OKC's offense went stagnant against Miami and made it hard to believe the Thunder can assemble another deep playoff run without Harden.
"We're different, but I think we're just as good," said Durant. "James, don't get me wrong, is a phenomenal player. But we lost him and we got back Kevin Martin, who's a really good player as well."
Martin ranks third on the Thunder in scoring with a 15-point average. That's just 1.8 points shy of Harden's scoring output last season. Martin, however, averages 1.8 fewer rebounds, again an occasional sore spot for OKC, and 2.4 fewer assists. Harden's ability to generate scoring for himself and others is what the Thunder misses most.

PAWTUCKET — Sometimes the trades that a major-league ballclub doesn't end up making can prove quite revealing.
The Jake Peavy acquisition was not the only smoke signal sent out by the Red Sox at the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline. Last Wednesday's 4 p.m Eastern Time deadline did not feature the acquisition of a warm body for the sole purpose of augmenting the bullpen core that manager John Farrell presently has at his disposal.
Instead, Boston elected to stock the cabinet with another depth piece. Lost in the shuffle of Peavy coming to New England and Jose Iglesias heading to Detroit was the deal Boston made for Brayan Villarreal, a hard-throwing 26-year-old who had struck out 41 in 34.1 innings for Triple-A Toledo prior to landing on the disabled list with a right thumb injury on July 23.
Boston chose to option Villarreal to Pawtucket, where the righty was immediately placed on the DL. In terms of how the remainder of the season plays out, the subtle transaction involving Villarreal switching teams speaks volumes about the organization's comfort level with the assemblage of bullpen options presently under its thumb.
There was no need to aggressively pursue a relief pitcher during baseball's annual July swapping holiday, not when help is merely a phone call to PawSox skipper Gary DiSarcina away.
As presently constructed, the PawSox' bullpen is flush with ready-to-order options should a need at the top arise. The belief that the Red Sox are dealing from a position of strength started to gain traction as last week's homestand at McCoy Stadium played out when this particular niche of ballplayers was subjected to a beehive of activity.
Two rehabbers, Franklin Morales and Alex Wilson, arrived one day apart and over the ensuing several days took positive steps in their quest to rejoin the parent club. Reinforcements from the majors came when Jose De La Torre, Pedro Beato and Brandon Workman were optioned.
(In Workman's case, he's lined up to rejoin the Red Sox sooner than the required 10 days he was supposed to spend in Triple A. Outfielder Daniel Nava is on paternity leave and will likely not be available for Boston's three-game series in Houston.)
Pawtucket's relieving situation also saw recently signed Jose Contreras leave the team for a few days so he could fly home to Cuba to deal with the death of a family member. Another intriguing option, Ryan Rowland-Smith, came off the disabled list after missing a month due to an appendectomy.
Let's not forget about Clayton Mortensen, who began the season in Boston's bullpen and may have regained some trust after tossing four innings in spot-start duty for Pawtucket during last Friday's 15-inning loss to Norfolk.
As crowded as Pawtucket's bullpen may seem – don't forget about International League All-Star and team saves leader Anthony Carter or youngsters Chris Martin or Brock Huntzinger – things started to work themselves out by the time DiSarcina & Co. boarded a bus for Buffalo in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
Veteran Brandon Lyon opted out of his deal on Thursday, bringing to an end a two-week stint that saw the 33-year-old pitch well – he posted scoreless outings in three of his four appearances with Pawtucket. Taking a long look around, it probably dawned on Lyon that his best shot to return to the majors was not with the Red Sox.
In the case of Rowland-Smith, the 30-year-old lefty can follow Lyon's lead if the Red Sox choose to not put him on the active roster by Monday, which is when his opt-out date takes affect. Taking inventory of the Red Sox bullpen, you'll find three southpaws (Craig Breslow, Drake Britton and Matt Thornton) and fourth option in Morales that's on the 40-man roster – a distinction that Rowland-Smith does not have working in his favor.
A baseball source said over the weekend that he hadn't heard any rumblings regarding Rowland-Smith and if any possible landing destinations have been bandied about (he did not pitch Saturday and Sunday at Buffalo). Had Rowland-Smith not missed five weeks due to injury, it's safe to venture that the Red Sox may have brought him up when Andrew Miller went down for the season rather than traded for Thornton.
In Britton's case, he might be still starting games for Pawtucket rather then excelling in his present relief role with Boston, a role that in turn has left Rowland-Smith in a potentially vulnerable spot.
"A player in my position (the opt-out clause) is the only real option that you have. For me, I know I can pitch in the big leagues and on a personal level, I want to get back there," stated Rowland-Smith about returning to a realm he yearned for since last toiling in the bigs for Seattle in 2010. "I want to have that opportunity and I would love to have it with the Red Sox. If that opportunity comes some place else because the Red Sox don't have the room, so be it.
"There are so many good pitchers (in Pawtucket) who can slide into any role, but anything can change," continued Rowland-Smith, who this season has seen him hold International League hitters to a .185 batting average in 45.2 innings. "We'll just wait and see what happens."
Surveying his team's crowded bullpen situation, DiSarcina remarked, "It's been so fluid here, but these guys know what's going on. They're aware."
So, too, is Boston's baseball operations department, which through the Peavy trade sent the following message: There are plenty of relievers already onboard. Outside applicants need not apply.

MASSENA - Economic development officials say they are pleased theyve received 19 applications from business owners interested in renovating their business with help from $250,000 in state grant funds.
Michael Almasian, executive director of the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena, pointed out 19 business owners also wrote letters of intent when the BDC was applying for the grant money through the New York Main Street Grant Program.
However, Mr. Almasian said this is purely coincidental, as several business owners who wrote letters of intent have since become uninvolved in the effort to revitalize Massenas downtown, and other business owners have come forward since public information sessions were held in March with the BDCs consultant, Rick Hauser and Nicole Martin of In.Site architecture.
The funds, which will be used to reimburse business owners who renovate their buildings, aim to improve the village by creating a cohesive, attractive and historically preserved downtown corridor.
The applications will first undergo a three-week review period by the Grant Design Review Team, which will consider a number of factors in determining how to allocate the $250,000 in grant funds, such as the current state of a building and whether the business might draw shoppers downtown. After the review period, set to begin this week, the applications will go before the state Historic Preservation Office, to ensure each applicants goals fit the overall mission of the grant. The applications will go before the BDC Board for final approval.
Mr. Almasian said the BDC has final say because theyre the grant administrators, but feels the recommendation of the Grant Design Review Team is the most important factor in how much funding, if any, an individual receives to renovate his or her business.
The GDRTs decision is persuasive, because theyll spend the most time reviewing an application. But the BDC is the grant administrator, Mr. Almasian said.
The scope of the downtown revitalization might also affect how the grant funds are administered. Mr. Almasian said some communities choose to focus grant money toward a small number of businesses with the highest potential for public use, while other communities spread grant funds widely to improve the highest number of businesses possible. How the grant funds are dispersed will be decided by the review team.
The GDRT is trying to do whats best for Massena, he said.
