Wall Street Journal best-selling author Jon Acuff reveals the steps to getting unstuck and back onto the path of being awesome.
Over the last 100 years, the road to success for most everyone has been divided into predictable stages. But three things have changed the path to success:
While none of the stages can be skipped, they can be shortened and accelerated. There are only two paths in life: average and awesome. The average path is easy because all you have to do is nothing. The awesome path is more challenging, because things like fear only bother you when you do work that matters. The good news is Start gives listeners practical, actionable insights to be more awesome, more often.

"START made me STOP listening fast"
Listening to an audiobook is one of the easiest ways a person can attain information, yet this audiobook somehow managed to make it feel like a chore.I really hoped to hear some useful ways to turn my work and experience into something greater than myself, i.e. "Do work that matters." Unfortunately START was so suffocated by pointless lackluster stories and name dropping that I completely lost track of why I purchased it in the first place (So you were on the news... Am I supposed to care? And what does that have to do with the purpose of this book again?).More importantly, Acuff as the narrator is the worst! His delivery reminds me of that cliche friend we all have, the one who thinks he's absolutely hilarious, reciting movie quotes and poor impressions, and we all just nod and put up with it because we've been friends since childhood. If I wanted a poorly written comedy, I would have purchased something by Tyler Perry. If I wanted adventure stories of an entrepreneur, I would have purchased Richard Branson's memoir. Stripped of all the filler, this book would be a pamphlet long, maybe a few paragraphs, or even just a quote that read, "Do you want to live an average life, or an awesome one?"For a book that claimed to "Punch Fear in the Face!" START delivered like a weak jab that missed the mark.
Turned me off from this genre? No. START's poor performance just made me more wary of my selections in the future. I will ABSOLUTELY listen to a sample reading before purchasing another book of this kind. If I had listened to a sample of START before purchasing, I'd still have $13.95 in my pocket.
I appreciate Acuff's energy, but there's an unearned sense of overconfidence in his voice. If the material or substance was there to back it up, I'd be all for his delivery, I'd even give the tales of his "awesome life" a chance. Instead, I felt like I was listening to a D-list comedian trying to woo an empty night club. Maybe add some canned laughter or crickets in the background? You can use that zinger in your next book Jon.
There were a few nuggets of actual useful material in the book, but really only stemmed from one basic concept: do you want to live an awesome life or average? Unfortunately anything redeeming was buried so deep under a thick gloss of pointless nostalgia and name dropping that I'd lose interest and tune out. I can't tell you how many times Acuff would be submerged in another story about how "awesome" his life is, and I'd think, "What the hell is he talking about? What does this have to do with anything? That really doesn't sound that awesome to me at all." I'm sure Acuff is the coolest/smartest guy he knows. Unfortunately his material isn't.
"full of self serving stories. had to return it"
Not until he grows up a little and has some meaningful experiences to share
He is full of youthful energy. He does share tried and true advice, that is a good refresher. Nothing really earth shattering.
I don't usually write reviews, but this book appears to largely be a personal EGO trip for the author. It is full of self aggrandizing stories of handing out his latest book on a plane, to shopping for makeup before he goes on national TV. There is little depth here... I did appreciate his youthful "I can do anything" energy as he recited old advice I have already garnered from other tried and true authors.
"It works if you have 10,000 hours"
I don't think so.
Sounded like a punk kid, and nobody wants to take advice from a punk kid.
Very disappointing in that the author states clearly that you can make your dreams come true - maybe - if you only devote 20 hours a week to it for 10 years. He is also very boastful about his accomplishments, which to me is a turn-off. There is nothing but common sense advice in here and again, you should start young, because it is no easy road to achieving your dreams.
"Fun & Funny! Great quick listen, Worth it!"
Yes! It is read by the author Jon Acuff and he is absolutely fun and relatable! I enjoyed every minute I listened to him.
I just finished The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and it was the perfect follow up to that audiobook. They are similar in the sense that you are in control of your own domain, but I learned from Habit why I choose what I choose, and I learned from Start, how to choose what I want to choose. So they compliment each other. Both are a life process and neither is a quick fix to anything. Loved both!
No, but I will now.
Not really, the entire book was worth the listen!
I heard about this book from the EntreLeadership Podcast and am glad I did!
"Same old history.."
The book was not for me, I read a lot of books with the same idea. It gets a time when you are full of this kind of stuff.
If you need some push to start get it, otherwise forget it.
"The overall ratings tell the Truth!"
John Acuff's personality and lighthearted approach brings the process of reinventing yourself into view much better than the print version.
The path to starting anew is not rocket science and the "One-Star" people are looking for the easy path that doesn't exist. The practical aspects of how to grow and develop are just that; practical. It isn't some voodoo like message of just believe and your dreams will come. They won't unless you get up and start taking action to improve your life and achieve your dreams. I went down the road to awesome once and it was awesome, at 47 I needed someone to say it is ok to start again. The difference is that at 22 most people are protected by their family and loved ones to start. In your 40s, most people feel that they should have figured it out. Start gives you the understanding that you can start again and you don't have to really go back to 22, you already have the knowledge and experience that the last 47 years have told you about where awesome is in your life, you just have to live it.
To stop listening to the voices in my head. The fears and lies they tell do hold you back. Get them out into the open and you do see the absurdity of them.
The second things is that most of the answers you are looking for are right there in front of you, but you can't step back far enough to see them. Don't complicate the process, you don't have to 'start with the end carved in stone'. Start with your life today and move toward what you truly enjoy doing, everything will just start to fall into place.
"Probably a great book just not for me."
No, because Iv'e already done the steps he's encouraging people to take. I quit my job years ago and am successfully conducting my own business and making more money.
didn't get there.
Gone below the surface.
People who are looking to step out from average and have not yet begun those steps.
"Its not bad."
Some where in the middle.
The authors sense of humor gets a little annoying after awhile.
Yes, it did.
"over the top"
No, the author and narrator is over the top. His delivery is way too emotional and I find it to be irritating. Too much drama, I'm sure he's well intentioned but I find it really sappy.
"LOL on the One Star Reviews"
Great Stories. I like the part about growing a crazy beard and collecting cats.
Awesome professional speaker, great reader by default.
Great concepts throughout. Critics Math was helpful. I also enjoyed the honesty transparency with things like the story about his honeymoon and wanting to make life long friends LOL. Reminds me to be careful with ideas and expectations.
I also found great insights in understanding ideas / emotions that come along with success that can throw one off track, and even how one can actually sabatoge their own success because of supressed fear. Rang true for me and I'm thankful for what I learned from this book.
"Woah slow down!!"
Authors are not always the best people to narrate their own books. Fact. Here is a case in point. Maybe the paperback's really good, I don't know. But the audiobook is so rushed that it's almost impossible to get anything from it. The author / narrator starts off by telling you how each section is supposed to have action points and questions for you to go through to put his pearls of wisdom into practice. But he felt that it ruined the "flow" of his narration, so he's left all that stuff to the end. Listen to the whole thing first, then take action.
In doing so he's totally missed the point of how people use this kind of book. He whizzes through the book at such a pace, without pausing, that you can't actually take it all in anyway. Then if/when you do stick it out all the way to the end, he does the exact same thing with the action points and questions. Problem is that they're not put into context, so when he says something profound like "write a paragraph describing your secret self" you're thinking... "wait... what exactly is my secret self again?". Except if you're anything like me you really can't bring yourself to go back hunting through the audio to find out.
Add to that the super-helpful advice to "punch fear in the face". Well that's all very well but seriously, deeply ingrained personal fears about oneself do not, in practice, simply bugger off because you metaphorically punched them! I suspect that many people who click the "buy" button for this book will be left thinking "well how the heck do I do that?". Listen to Stephen Covey, Brian Tracey et al. Different ball park altogether.
I had high hopes for this book but it fell way short of the mark. I might even ask for my money back. Sorry & all that but very disappointing.
"great read"

I tend to have a hard time deciding how aggressive to be, mostly in-lane, in MOBA-style (based on DotA) public games. (Private games are not an option for me)
Sometimes, I will go in for a easy first blood and my lane partner will just sit farming creeps. Other times they tower dive every other minute.
How should I judge, based on the actions of my teammates and enemies, how aggressively to play in lane?
Note for clarification: I'm not looking for specific game mechanics here; I'm looking for general advice. I put this in a non-specific category not to induce ambiguity, but rather to serve a wider audience in the future, as I suspect the answer would hold across multiple games.

A behind the scenes look: Prepping the menu for Eccentric Day
Wild boar, bison, squid, smoked lamb bacon, emu, quail, antelope, duck … these are just a few of the items you will see offered on Eccentric Day this year.
But how does a menu like this come together?
The planning starts early.
For Melissa Bont, the Eccentric Café's Kitchen Manager, that planning began in early October.
And then there is the prep work.
Deliveries started late last week. And since then, cases of food have been arriving almost daily.
Most of the caviar, smoked salmon and other delicacies won't actually arrive until the day before Eccentric Day though.
But during the week leading up to the event and especially the day before, there is still plenty of chopping, slicing, stirring and tasting to make sure everything possible is ready to go.
The entire kitchen staff, including a few dedicated "retired" kitchen staff members - who have since gone on to other positions at the Café - put in some long and late hours to make everything happen.
There is also a fair amount of improvising as well – adding chorizo to the alligator gumbo for example.
Being incredibly organized is also helpful, Bont said.
On Eccentric Day, that same team will set up, do any last minute cooking and restock two buffet style tables in both the front and back bars of the Café before opening at 9 a.m. until around 10 p.m. (depending on how fast all the food goes).
Even the menu is still being tweaked a bit this week as some items are a little harder to come by than originally planned.
Sorry, no organs (sweet breads) this year.
But bugs have been added (scorpion suckers, crickets and larvae - fried with spices) in addition to emu. And Bell's beer will also be used in a few of the dishes.
The idea of getting a pig uterus was even pitched, but that won't happen this year.
Not to say they didn't try.
There will also be plenty for vegetarian appetites as well including a vegetarian turducken, stuffed jalapenos and smoky tofu bites. Bont said she recognizes the need to have something for all tastes.
"It's a great tradition. We're busy and there is a lot to do, but we make it fun and we get to experiment with different foods. It's nice to be able to offer people things they wouldn't normally get to try," Bont said.
2012 Eccentric food numbers:
20 lbs. of alligator
10 lbs. of shepherd's pie
About 100 squid (stuffed with bison cornbread)
10 lbs. of antelope
2 wild boar legs (10-12 lbs. each)
20 lbs. of shrimp
12 lbs. of elk
12 lbs. of bison
24 duck breasts
12 lbs. of venison to make sausage
About 80 lbs. of cheese in 20 different varieties

U.S. Department of Transportation officials have tentatively decided not to increase the required level of service at the Watertown International Airport and have asked American Airlines to continue the current schedule with a subsidy level set at $3,356,349 almost a full $300,000 less than the airline requested.
An overreliance on federal aid apparently is in question.
American Airlines, which operates under an essential air service contract at the airport through its subsidiary American Eagle, characterizes its tenure at the airport as a success, pointing to the fact that it has beaten the yearly passenger target it set two years ago, according to a DOT document.
But the airline, which offers nonstop flights to and from Chicagos OHare Airport, has been unable to reduce its reliance on the federally funded essential air service subsidy, which officials said was a cause for concern.
The clear success American achieved in generating passengers causes us to be concerned, because it has not been matched by an ability to reduce its need for subsidy, the document reads.
The carrier is asking for a $3,636,045 subsidy this year a increase of 20 percent from the current subsidy of $3,047,972, according to officials.
The airport, on Route 12F near Dexter, is owned and operated by Jefferson County.
The increase was due to the proposal to add a 13th flight to the carriers weekly schedule at the airport, which offers two flights a day during the week and one flight a day during the weekend.
The airline is proposing to add a second Sunday flight, something Jefferson County officials have said would be an asset.
It would allow the carrier to offer flights to passengers traveling to Chicago to conduct business in the early part of the week, according to Jefferson County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III.
Essential Air Service staff met with officials from American Airlines to try to resolve the paradox of both increased traffic and a request for an increased subsidy but failed to reach a resolution, according to the order.
American Airlines projects a 69 percent passenger load factor at the Watertown International Airport, meaning there are unused seats that remain available with the current schedule of 12 flights a week, calling into question the need for an additional flight, according to DOT officials.
But that could be because a late afternoon flight into Chicago on weekdays is not as popular as the early morning flight to Chicago or the evening flight from Chicago to Watertown, according to Mr. Hagemann.
Aside from that, flights are virtually always full, he said.
Congress has tightened eligibility standards for the EAS program and several communities have lost service as a result, officials said.
At this juncture, some of these airports are receiving no service. We need to feel fortunate that our service is continuing until we get to a point where were no longer dependent on it, said Barry M. Ormsby, R-Belleville, chairman of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators airport ad hoc committee. As weve said from day one, were all looking for a day when the federal subsidy wont be necessary.
The good news is the award to American Eagle for another two years has been handed out, Mr. Hagemann said.
American Airlines has 10 days to respond to the DOTs determination, which was issued Monday. If the department receives no response, the contract will be renewed at the DOT-mandated rate.
Watertown International Airport recorded a 29 percent increase in passenger traffic this September compared with September 2012.
Grant W. Sussey, who was hired to fill the newly created position of airport manager, is scheduled to start working for the county next month.

TOKYO (AP) - Several people along Japan's northeastern coast are reported injured after a strong earthquake hit the same Japanese coast that was devastated by last year's massive quake and tsunami.
The quake generated small waves, but there are no reports of heavy damage.
Buildings in Tokyo and elsewhere swayed for several minutes.
Japan's Meteorological Agency says the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3. The epicenter was 150 miles offshore, and more than six miles below the seabed.
The agency says there have been repeated, smaller aftershocks.
After the quake, authorities warned that a tsunami as high as six feet could hit, and people ran for higher ground. But the tsunami warning has been canceled.
Japan has barely begun to rebuild from last year's magnitude-9.0 quake, which triggered a tsunami that ravaged dozens of coastal communities.

Tecate Michelada Review
Beer of the Day: Tecate Michelada
When I drink a Michelada, I expect to experience an almost uncomfortable burn from the capsaicin-heavy hot sauce. I want my mouth to salivate from a generous pinch of salt. I look forward to the extreme contrast between the blazing spiciness and icy cold temperature. Sadly, this prefabricated beer cocktail falls flat; not even the chilliest can compares to a proper Michelada served over ice.
Here's my main gripe: there's not much that distinguishes it from ordinary Tecate. On the nose, there's a hint of lime and an unidentifiable chemical scent that could be contributed from the caramel color and ambiguous "flavors of spices." At first, the Tecate hits you with a bit of lime and chile flavor, but it fizzles quickly and finishes as if the beer had been left out to boil in a Solo cup in the hot Summer sun. While I had high hopes, the canned Tecate Michelada is a poor representation of "la auténtica Michelada," and I recommend sticking to your own seasoning devices.

HOU: Oberholtzer (0-0, 7.36)
BAL: Gonzalez, M (8-4, 3.69)
If we win tonight we will be on a 90 win pace.
osforlife wrote:Miguel Gonzalez has had two ugly starts in a row, which has risen his ERA from 3.34 to 3.88. Gonzalez had been pitching very well since the end of April. I'm not worried about this, because baseball is full of trends. If a player is going playing great or not, that player USUALLY will revert back to his career norms, whether it takes an extreme slump or an extreme hot streak. Miguel Gonzalez is good, but I don't think he is low 3.00 ERA good. He might struggle, and then get back to from, whatever. I'm not worried.
osforlife wrote:That being said, I get extremely angry at fans that boo a good player, who is in a cold streak or had a bad game. Gonzalez has been one of our best pitchers all year, and just because he had a bad start, you're going to boo him? I feel like if one should boo a player, they don't deserve to cheer when he does well.

Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation
CDI Update
The Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation program has demonstrated the value of interdisciplinary computational and data-enabled science and engineering. Increasingly, this research approach is being integrated into new and continuing NSF programs and solicitations. As of fiscal year 2012, proposals will no longer be accepted by the CDI program. Investigators are referred to related NSF funding opportunities, which are listed on this web page (http://www.nsf.gov/cdi). Please check for updates on this page as new opportunities are announced, and follow the links for program information and program officer contacts.
FAQs have been added for CDI Solicitation 11-502. To view the FAQs page click here.
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) is NSF's bold five-year initiative to create revolutionary science and engineering research outcomes made possible by innovations and advances in computational thinking. Computational thinking is defined comprehensively to encompass computational concepts, methods, models, algorithms, and tools. Applied in challenging science and engineering research and education contexts, computational thinking promises a profound impact on the Nation's ability to generate and apply new knowledge. Collectively, CDI research outcomes are expected to produce paradigm shifts in our understanding of a wide range of science and engineering phenomena and socio-technical innovations that create new wealth and enhance the national quality of life.
CDI seeks ambitious, transformative, multidisciplinary research proposals within or across the following three thematic areas:
With an emphasis on bold multidisciplinary activities that, through computational thinking, promise radical, paradigm-changing research findings, CDI promotes transformative research within NSF. Accordingly, investigators are encouraged to come together in the development of far-reaching, high-risk science and engineering research and education agendas that capitalize on innovations in, and/or innovative use of, computational thinking. Research and education efforts around the world are beginning to address various aspects of the CDI themes, and CDI projects are expected to build upon productive intellectual partnerships involving investigators from academe, industry and/or other types of organizations, including international entities, that advance CDI objectives within the rapidly evolving global context.
Congruent with the three thematic areas, CDI projects will enable transformative discovery to identify patterns and structures in massive datasets; exploit computation as a means of achieving deeper understanding in the natural and social sciences and engineering; abstract, model, simulate and predict complex stochastic or chaotic systems; explore and model nature's interactions, connections, complex relations, and interdependencies, scaling from sub-particles to galactic, from subcellular to biosphere, and from the individual to the societal; train future generations of scientists and engineers to enhance and use cyber resources; and facilitate creative, cyber-enabled boundary-crossing collaborations, including those with industrial and international dimensions, to advance the frontiers of science and engineering and broaden participation in STEM fields.
Two types of CDI awards will be supported as a result of the FY 2011 CDI competition:

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to describe the epidemiology of pulmonary hypertension in individuals with HIV infection and to investigate its pathogenesis. We propose to conduct a prospective observational cohort study to determine the association between highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and viral suppression in HIV-infected patients who have been identified to have pre-clinical pulmonary hypertension (Aim 1). In addition, we will investigate the mechanistic role of the HIV-1 Nef protein and HHV-8 infection in the development and progression of pulmonary hypertension in individuals with HIV (Aim 2). We will also investigate endothelial function in HIV-infected patients with pulmonary hypertension (Aim 3).

He serves as the primary media contact for women's basketball, men's soccer and softball, while assisting in all of CU's 14 Division I athletic programs. He is in charge of publications, publicity, statistics and also travels with the teams. Simms is also responsible for web upkeep of his designated sports.
Since starting at Creighton, Simms has had the fortune of working with many talented and nationally-ranked teams. The men's soccer team made College Cup (Final Four) appearances in 2002 and 2011 and has advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 10 of the 11 years he has worked with the team. The women's basketball team qualified for the national postseason in each of his first four years, making the NCAA Tournament after MVC regular-season and tournament championships in 2002. The basketball team has made seven WNIT appearances since 2003, winning the 2004 postseason WNIT. The softball team has won five of the last eight Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships and appeared in six NCAA tournaments in the last nine seasons, while cracking the national top-25 for the first time in school history.
Simms joined the Creighton sports information staff as an intern in January 2001, after serving as a communications intern for Nashua Pride Professional Baseball in Nashua, N.H., during the summer of 2000. While with the Pride, then a member of the independent Atlantic League, Simms was responsible for game-day notes, statistics, and game recaps, as well as game-day and group ticket sales for the 2000 Atlantic League Champions.
A 2000 graduate of Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., Simms was a communications major and four-year letter winner in baseball. He owns the school single-season pitching record for games started (14) and ranks in the top 10 in three career categories, including a second-place ranking in appearances (46).
A member of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), he was promoted to Associate Sports Information Director in October 2007, after serving as Assistant SID since 2001.
Simms and his wife Sarah live in west Omaha, with their twin daughters Olivia and Avery, born Dec. 27, 2007 and son Ty, born May 25, 2009. The St. Louis, Mo., native is a graduate of Rockwood Summit High School and is a dedicated St. Louis Cardinals fan.

BUFFALO, NY - It's a bit like Black Friday come four months early for the NHL today - the annual spending spree for NHL teams. And just like Black Friday, they may end up regretting some decisions by Christmas.
Free agency started at Noon.
Under the new collective bargaining agreement, teams are allowed to sign their own players for 8 years and other players for only 7, so you might not see as many players change teams this year. And there won't be any of those mega-deals with the front-loaded salaries - those aren't allowed.
The Sabres have more than $15 million in cap space this year, ninth-highest in the league. They're about $5 million above the salary floor. But you might not see them spend much on veterans as a team in rebuilding mode.
They still have to make decisions about restricted free agents Cody Hodgson and Brian Flynn, and unrestricted free agents Adam Pardy and Alex Sulzer could end up elsewhere.
And that's all with a possible Ryan Miller or Thomas Vanek trade hanging in the air.
It's a bit of a shallow free agent market this year, raising the chance that you'll see teams overpaid.
The big names:
Some other big names, including Vincent Lecavalier and Patrick Elias are already locked up.
Stick with WGRZ.com after the free agent frenzy starts at noon for the very latest.

IAB Rich Media Display Guidelines – 2011 Update
These updated Display Creative Guidelines are the work-product of an exhaustive nine-month cross-industry working group effort to bring the industry inline with the creative demands of brand advertisers. The IAB had two overriding goals for this update:
- Issue guidelines that empower creative shops to exercise the limits of their imagination, only tempering creativity as it relates to positive consumer experience; and
- Further simplify the digital supply chain by making these new guidelines easily accessible, adoptable and understandable.
While the accommodation of every individual concern is beyond reach, near universal approval of these specifications and guidelines was achieved by the Working Group participants. Despite a few inevitable compromises, these updated guidelines represent a quantum leap forward—they embrace and foster creativity in ways never before possible. These guidelines should empower marketers and their creative shops to re-imagine online advertising, the result of which will represent a new generation of rich interactivity and "sticky" consumer experiences.
Availability and Adoption
Please be advised that these IAB guidelines represent an industry recommendation. Accordingly, not all publishers, nor all IAB member companies, adopt these guidelines without modification relative to their own unique business offering. Marketers, creative designers and media agencies are strongly advised to consult directly with publishers in order to obtain their exact creative specifications.
Following the release of these Guidelines, the IAB will begin work on an update to its Creative Specs Database (www.iab.net/creativespecs)—the update is expected to be final in Q1 of 2012. The Creative Specs Database allows qualified agencies and their creative partners access to individual creative specs made available by participating publishers.
Balancing File Load Size with Consumer Experience
Balancing the requirements of advertisers and publishers while ensuring that the consumer experience remains positive were considerations that heavily influenced these guidelines. Two important factors were: creative file demands and page load performance.
A separate IAB working group studying the effects of ad load performance on consumer behavior has offered valuable insights based on real research surrounding page abandonment and other effects of compromised page load performance. Influenced by this research and the concrete rationalization that consumers visit websites primarily to consume site content, it was decided that initial file load sizes be constrained across the board. However, to compensate for the trend towards more rich media, two additional categories for file size loading were added: subsequent polite load and subsequent user-initiated load.
In creating the new categories for subsequent file loads, creative limitations are lifted once a user indicates their intent to engage with an ad (i.e. after a click or mouse-over). In adopting these new specs, creative shops should design ads that progressively load content in reaction to a user's engagement with the ad. The good news is that almost all publishers agree, once the user has shown their intent to engage with an ad, the page experience should yield to the ad's requirements for additional file weight to satisfy creative demands.
CPU Usage as a Gating Performance Factor
Ads that load faster can help web pages load faster, leading to higher user satisfaction, lower page abandonment, and most importantly for agencies and marketers, more brand engagement and increased opportunities for ads to yield higher conversions and click through rates.
Ads that use too much of a consumer's processing power, load slower. Accordingly, limits on the percentage of CPU usage were introduced in this update to the guidelines. Users' computers are limited in how much processing power is available for loading webpage elements and ads. The diversity of computers currently in use complicates the identification of a common CPU percentage across the industry—as such, creative designers should consult individual publishers about benchmark testing requirements based on the attributes of their unique audience.
Frame Rate Increase from 18 to 24-fps
The previous guideline for "Maximum Animation Frame Rate" was 18 frames-per-second (fps). While some in the industry argued for an increase to 30-fps, several research studies were presented to the working group that showed a significant increase in CPU usage when loading a file at 30-fps. Conversely, the increase from 18-fps to 24-fps was nominal. Another research study presented to the working group noted that for small-scale video playback (i.e. video played in a display ad on a computer screen), the human eye can't distinguish a quality difference between video played at 24-fps vs. 30-fps.
Increased Video Play Time
The previous guideline for "Maximum Video Length" for Rich Media Units was set at 15-seconds. In order to better facilitate the transition of television commercial content online, it was decided to increase this maximum to 30-seconds.
Animation Length vs. Video Length
In this update, the previous guideline for "Animation Length" was divided into two sub-categories in order to help highlight the distinction between non-video animation (i.e. Flash™ effects) and video (moving picture images). Traditional non-video animation often uses a different technology than video and these updated guidelines now allow for different display lengths for each.
Z-Index Range Use Recommendations
The Z-index represents layers of elements on a webpage. When ad elements and other page elements are layered incorrectly, proper display of either page content or ad content (or both) may be compromised. The accidental "collision" of competing elements on a webpage that share the same Z-index value leads to a poor consumer experience, in the form of distorted or mangled images and text. Accordingly, the establishment of an industry accepted z-index hierarchy and associated numerical range is crucial to solving the occurrence of collisions. Please note that adoption of these new Z-index guidelines by all publishers will take time. Creative designers are advised to consult directly with publishers for their individual Z-index guidelines.
Submission Lead Time
In order to ensure timely and smooth campaign launches, this new guideline was added to allow publishers the minimum time required to test ad creative on their webpages prior to campaigns going live. Time, money and even user engagement can be lost when an ad doesn't display properly on a webpage at the start of a campaign. Minimum submission lead times recommended in this document are an important step to improving the process for releasing a quality ad experience on publisher's webpages. Advertisers, creative designers and media agencies are strongly advised to consult directly with publishers for their individual submission lead-times.
HTML5 and Flash™
Prior to the wide adoption of devices like the iPhone™ and iPad™, Flash™ formatted creative was widely accepted and easily displayed across the industry. In today's market, adjustments have to be made to accommodate ads across multiple display devices. HTML5 has provided one solution, but is not yet widely adopted and requires different creative specifications than Flash formatted creative. Requests were made to call out a separate category of creative specs to accommodate HTML5 ads, but for this release of creative guidelines, it was decided to keep the specs "technology neutral." An addendum for HTML5 for display advertising best practices is currently being pursued.
"In-Stream Video Ads" now refer to advertisements relating to video player environments, and creative guidelines for those units that appear in conjunction with streaming content, can be found here: www.iab.net/dv_guidelines

We propose a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Skin intervention, compared to an assessment-only condition (both groups receive rapid HIV testing, a review of testing results, and brief HIV prevention counseling) among 350 injection drug users recruited during an acute medical hospitalization at Boston Medical Center. In the general hospital setting, injection drug users who otherwise might not seek care are accessible and teachable, and the presence of a drug-related illness can set the stage for patients to be more receptive to interventions2. We hypothesize that the Skin intervention will produce better outcomes at 1-, 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month(s) post-intervention.

As summer—and the invitations to parties and vacation homes that come along with it—moves forward, ELLEDECOR.com has asked Katia Beauchamp, co-founder of Birchbox, a monthly subscription service that sends a box of delights to your door, for her hostess gift dos and don'ts. Once you read through her list, don't miss our own gift guide for extra inspiration.
DO pick up something extra for the hostess if your main gift is for the family. "A small present, like a beautiful rollerball perfume or red lipstick, shows that you gave extra thought to the person, rather than just the group."
DON'T forget that a gift is a reflection of your style. "You want to leave your host with a taste of who you are. Thoughtfulness is important, and your gift should never feel like an afterthought."
DO let hostess gifts take the pressure off big holiday gifts. "Sometimes our schedules get so busy, we miss quality time and gifting around the holidays. So when I have the opportunity to visit a friend, I take the opportunity to splurge."
DON'T bring gifts that require immediate action or accessories. "If you don't know where the vases are, think twice before bringing flowers. And I've seen parties where one person brought a dessert and the hosts didn't have the proper plates. Remember: ask ahead!"
DO stockpile throughout the year. "That way you'll have something ready when the invitation comes."
DO think outside the traditional box. "I've given my stepdad subscriptions to magazines and I get a call every month. Those recurring gifts are smart and make people think of you, so you're thanked and they're rewarded often."
DON'T feel like it has to be a surprise. "I'll call a party host ahead of time to find out the number of guests and volunteer to handle one thing, like the glassware."
DO think local when it comes to crowd-pleasing. "When I visit my family in Europe, I bring New York bagels. It's humble, but there's nothing better."
But DON'T be bound by geography. "You can mail almost everything now. You can send stone crabs, Italian cheese, local beers. These types of special gifts are so much more accessible to everyone, not just those in big cities."
DO steal some of Beauchamp's favorite innovative gift ideas. Some of the best: The Zoku Popsicle makers, small succulents from The Sill, and gift certificates to wonderful local restaurants.

Vietnam veterans pulled the short straw when it comes to respect and honor for their service. I won't rant (click on the Veteran's category below and to the left for a rant) about their treatment. Truly, the Above and Beyond Vietnam Veteran's exhibit helps alleviate some of that pain:
On Memorial Day 2001, the museum added a stirring and spectacular new exhibit to its already highly praised fine art collection. The work of art, an immense 10 x 40 foot sculpture entitled Above and Beyond, is comprised of imprinted dog tags, one for each of the more than 58,000 service men and women who died in the Vietnam War.
Above & Beyond is the first new permanent Vietnam War memorial, other than The Wall in Washington, D.C., to list all those killed in action.
Above & Beyond at the National Veterans Art Museum is a singular honor for Chicago. It was even the subject of a question on the TV show, Jeopardy, on Jan. 10, 2011.
Neat, I would not have gotten the question right.


text: For Acura, 2015 is a year of little change, yet what's different is certainly significant. Gone from the lineup are the TL and TSX sedans, leaving a void that is being filled by an all-new TLX sedan that offers nimble handling with the latest in Acura convenience features and technology. Aside from that shuffling of new and now-discontinued models, the 2015 Acuras are essentially identical to the 2014 versions they replace. The ILX, MDX, RDX, and RLX--all of which were recently introduced or redesigned--carry over without updates.

It's official. The folks at Wonka announced today that two of 10 golden tickets placed in Wonka Exceptionals chocolate bars have been found.
The two winners—Eva E. of San Francisco and Jason C. of Southaven, Miss.—will be jetting off on a trip around the world with three guests. Luckies.
According to Wonka, Eva found her golden ticket in a Wonka Exceptionals Chocolate Waterfall Bar purchased at a Target store in Colma, Calif. Jason found his in a Wonka Exceptionals Domed Dark Chocolate Bar at a Walmart in his hometown.
Wonder what the odds are of me finding a golden ticket if I pick up a Wonka Exceptionals Scrumdiddlyumptious Bar in Chicago?
In other news, the makers of M&M's, Mars Chocolate North America, announced today that Sean "Diddy" Combs is throwing a party for Ms. Green, who was crowned America's favorite M&M's character. (An announcement about America's love affair with the "I melt for no one" Ms. Green is going to be made this evening on Entertainment Tonight.)
Apparently, Ms. Green captured 23% of 3.4 million votes cast by fans at www.mms.com. She beat out Red, Yellow, Orange, and Blue. (I am a Mr. Yellow fan. How about you?)
The party with Diddy, which will be held in NYC in September, is part of Mars' "Party Like Diddy Sweepstakes."
The odds of scoring an invite to this soiree are probably slimmer than winning a golden ticket.

Submission German Court Upholds Ban On Push Email In Apple's iCloud, MobileMe->
suraj.sun writes: A German regional court Friday backed an earlier court decision that banned Apple from offering push emails in Apple's iCloud and MobileMe services in Germany, granting Motorola Mobility a victory in a global patent war among several technology companies. The Mannheim regional court also said Apple must pay damages to Motorola Mobility, but didn't specify the amount.

Did you start X on that connection?
I've tested it a while ago ( read as a few years ) exporting X but found not real use for this since most of my boxes are so-yesteryear-too-weak-for-real-use.
IIRC, you need to start x for that specific session ( regardless of whether your box is already running X on TTY7 or not ). It also looks like the GTK warning was of that sort. ( sorry I can't really offer specific inside of what is going on ). I'm just shooting into the dark here.

If I have multiple (independent) checklists on a card, is it possible to change the order in which they appear? I know I can change the order of items within a checklist.
There is not currently a good way to change the order of checklists.
Checklists are arranged alphabetically by name... so you could prefix the name of the checklist with a number to control the ordering. You may have to refresh the page for the new ordering to take effect.

Arizona assault suspect Eric Stephen Tuttle arrested in West Virginia
SELIGMAN, AZ - A man wanted for allegedly assaulting and robbing a family in northern Arizona has been arrested.
Yavapai County Sheriff's officials say 39-year-old Eric Stephen Tuttle was taken into custody Thursday afternoon in West Virginia. No other details were immediately released.
They say a family in Seligman had allowed Tuttle to stay on their property, but recently asked him to leave for an undisclosed reason.
Authorities say Tuttle allegedly assaulted a 54-year-old woman inside a locked vehicle Wednesday afternoon. When her parents tried to rescue her, Tuttle allegedly assaulted her 77-year-old father with a shovel.
Tuttle then allegedly bound the woman, her father and her 77-year-old mother with duct tape inside a travel trailer and stole the family's truck.
Authorities say Tuttle also is wanted in Pennsylvania for a parole violation.

More than 80 senators and representatives sent a letter February 12 to new U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, urging him to step up U.S. efforts to gain the release of 32-year-old American pastor Saeed Abedini, who was sentenced last month to eight years in an Iranian prison for his pastoral leadership of Iran's underground church. Abedini, who was born and raised in Iran, had recently been making regular trips back to Iran with his American-born wife and children. He was taken into custody last September while in Iran to help start a non-sectarian orphanage and was subjected to severe torture and beatings in Iran's notorious Evin Prison before being convicted and sentenced last month by one of Iran's most ruthless religious court judges.
In late January, Kerry told U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) that he was "deeply concerned about the fairness and transparency" of Abedini's trial and conviction. Kerry emphasized that he and the Obama administration "condemn Iran's continued violation of the universal right of freedom of religion and call on the Iranian authorities to respect Mr. Abedini's human rights and release him."
While thanking Kerry for his public statement on the diplomatic issue, the group of bipartisan lawmakers urged the new secretary of state to go a step further and "exhaust every possible option to secure Mr. Abedini's immediate release." They counseled that although "there are countless important issues that come before you, few are more sacred than defending the most fundamental rights. It is even more incumbent upon us to stand against persecution when it is levied against our own citizens. As an American citizen, Mr. Abedini deserves nothing less than the exercising of every diplomatic tool of the U.S. government to defend his basic human rights."

OUR VIEW: Thanks for every effort
When considering Civil War historic sites, Elizabethtown never will resonate in the same manner as Gettysburg, Chancellorsville, Shiloh, Antietam, Bull Run, Vicksburg or even Kentucky's Perryville.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Every year there are coaching changes in the high school athletics department. Sometimes it is a dramatic departure in a major sport and other times the quiet loss of a head coach in a sport few give much attention to. But four departures from the Carbon athletic department this year will leave quite a void that hasn't been felt in a long time.
Reasons for the departures are as varied as the programs they oversee, but one thing is for certain: they will all be missed. Jeff Jorgenson is stepping down as the Athletic Director. Tony Pinedo is retiring and leaving behind Girl's Softball and Boy's Golf. Cami Carlson has given up the head coaching position on the Girl's Basketball team so she can concentrate on promoting the book she wrote. Finally John Watkins is ending his tenure as the head wrestling coach for Carbon and retiring as well.
Jorgenson has been part of the athletic department for more than 20 years. He took over as Carbon's Athletic Director after Mrs Dupin retired. He is going to continue teaching for the next several years, but decided it was time for some new perspectives for the job.
"It is time, I'm beginning to be a big, grumpy old man," he said with a grin. Carbon Boys basketball coach Ted Bianco has been named to replace him and Jorgensen added that Bianco is already starting some things that he had never thought to do.
Jorgenson is going to miss the kids, but has vowed not to divorce from Carbon sports entirely. He just gets to pick and chose what he wants to be involved with and become a true fan in the stands again.
He stated he will not miss some of the parents, coaches and administrators he has had to deal with. He admits it only takes a few bad interaction to make the job difficult. He is also not happy with the new demands for less compensation that have been piling up over the past several years in the job.
"It is time consuming, both physically and mentally. Between the paper work, scheduling, being at most of the activities, coordinating with coaches and dealing with parents and officials and students, it takes its toll."
He will spend more time with family and likes the fact that taking time off won't be a burden on the Carbon High administration. He enjoys working with Principal Greg Stanfield and has been appreciative for the great working relationship the two have had.
Mostly he is hoping he had made a difference in the lives of the students and athletes he has had the privilege to work with over the years.
Tony Pinedo also echoed his appreciation of Principal Stanfield. He is going to miss him as a friend as well. Pinedo made a difficult decision to leave because now that his kids are grown and graduated he and his wife want to move to be closer to them as they have left the area. Pinedo has been a coach for 31 years. Twenty-six of them have been at Carbon High. The other four were at Emery.
His biggest regrets in leaving are certainly going to be his associations with the students and athletes.
"I don't know if I ever wanted to grow up and this job let me be both a teacher and a kid at times." he said as he explained his passion for what he did. Because he got to travel with the choir and the athletes for events and performances, he got to really know his students in a way many teachers do not. His eyes glistened as he talked with pride about how he has watched so many come through his doors over the years.
Pinedo is going to miss the camaraderie that has transpired at lunch in the "coaches corner" where the coaches sit and eat lunch every day. He finds it a place to de-stress, get new ideas and just laugh and share stories. He and Coach Garvin are the last of the original group that Pinedo refers to as a great group of men.
What he is least going to miss is teaching Driver's Ed. He says it feels like the movie "Ground Hog Day" as he and Coach Moynier meet, say good morning and unlock the gate each day at 5:00 a.m. before climbing in with their students eager for their turn behind the wheel.
Also he was a bit blunt about where he stands on some of the changes that are being implemented in the classrooms. He feels that they are not helping the teachers do a better job. And finally he will not miss making cuts to promising athlete that try to make the squad. He says despite what those who are cut might feel, coaches do feel their pain and wish they could just keep every one.
Cami Carlson just finished up her most successful season as head coach as she took her girl's basketball team into the championship game before losing to rival Emery. She told her team at the final banquet of her decision to leave amid tears and disbelief.
Since then she has heard rumors that her quitting was due to the final loss, but in reality her decision to step down had been made months before and it was due to a personal triumph rather than a team loss.
She had a long time dream to write a children's book. She did just that and submitted it to be published. Expecting to face first time writer's rejection, she was delighted instead to have the book picked up by the publisher. Faced with the time needed to properly promote her book, she knew she had to let the coaching duties go.
Carlson had been head coach of the team for five years and the assistant coach six years before that. She also helped out with the softball team for several years. She has taken her team into the state tournament every year.
"The girls, parents and administration have wonderful to work with. My assistant coaches have been great too." she said as she reminisced about the years, "It is sad to end with that loss in the championship game, but it was still the best year yet. The girls gave it their all and it will be a great one to remember."
She still enjoys coaching, but the time and effort begins way before the season starts with camps, open gyms and scheduling. She does hope to return to coaching one day, but for now she has a dream to follow.
John Watkins had not even planned to coach the four years that he did. He has already retired from a career as a wrestling coach in 1995 in the Las Vegas area. He agreed to step in and coach one year while the district found a new coach. Close to six years later he has told them it is time they got that job done.
"The team need a young, but experienced coach who can get down and wrestle with the boys to show them what they are talking about. I can't do that any more." he explained.
Watkins sees sports and especially wrestling as a way for young men to develop discipline and good character. He has prided himself in getting to be part of helping many lay the foundation for years to come. He says he has enjoyed watching kids come in with mediocre talent and work hard to become polished and dynamic adults.
He continues to stay in touch with many of his past athletes. He believes that every athlete that has a decent coach that cares goes on to be successful in life because they learn how to overcome adversity and stick to things until they master them.
He will not miss the need to fund raise to keep his program alive. They have built a good core of corporate sponsors over the years for items like hotel rooms and entry fees that come in at over $3,600 a season, but still it is almost a full time job in itself.
Carbon High Principal Greg Stanfield is looking to fill the positions as soon as possible. Back in January he was commenting on what a good coaching staff he had to work with. Now he looks back at the irony of that statement and hopes he is able to find new talent to fill the holes left behind. Carbon also heads to a new region again as the UHSSA has realigned again and will face teams like Payson, Spanish Fork, Delta and North Sanpete.

Strength Training
Strength training is a great extension to the Polar Cardio Coaching for lowering the body age with a detailed workout routine.
Step 1 Fitness assessment
The Fitness assessment gives an extensive description of the club member's current condition including the three main physiological areas of strength, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility as well as the assessment of body composition and blood pressure. This information works as an excellent basis for the strength training program.
Step 2 Training program
With Strength training you can easily design a personalized workout including sets, reps, and starting weights, or choose exercises from our extensive library. This extension helps create a personal strength training program that is unique to every club member, based on their individual fitness and personal objectives of gaining more strength and muscle mass. All of this information can be quickly and easily transferred to the club member's Polar FT80 using the Polar FlowLink® data transfer unit. User settings can be easily managed and be uploaded to the training computer, so that the club member will have everything set and ready for the strength training program.
