The City of Hamilton taps social media specialists, connects with residents, and hits the big time
HAMILTON, Oh. - For City of Hamilton residents, finding information and communicating with officials has become far more social these days.
People who live, work, and tweet in the Butler County seat may not be surprised that the city recently became a finalist for the 2013 Social Media Leadership Awards (SMLA) presented by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The City of Hamilton is among more than 30 finalists--including recognizable entities such as Adobe, American Airlines, Habitat for Humanity and JP Morgan Chase. The winner will be announced at a conference in Philadelphia on Dec. 10.
Investing in engagement
So how did an Ohio city of about 63,000 people hit the social media big time? In June, leaders decided to reboot the city's social media activity and tapped into the Hamilton Ohio Fellowship Program to do it. The program awards fellowships to three candidates to prepare them for careers in city administration. It pays an annual salary of $25,000 and includes housing and parking for awardees in the historic district.
Based on their social media experience, the city selected:
"By being more transparent, we can create greater social interaction, foster engagement, and increase citizen participation throughout the community," City Manager Joshua Smith said. "The fellows have done a fantastic job implementing a successful social media strategy and the recognition is well-deserved."
"Our overarching goal for social media is to promote the City of Hamilton as an awesome place to live, work and play," Hufford said.
While the city already had a Facebook page when the program started, Stone explained it primarily pushed information out to the public, leaving virtually no room for interaction. He said the updated site is a vast improvement.
"Our overall goal for social media is to use it as a platform to build awareness in our community that encourages and fosters engagement that will hopefully and eventually build civic involvement," Stone said. "Like on a scale much larger than just liking a post or commenting on a post, but provide the information that's compelling enough that people want to participate because they saw it on Facebook."
Surprising success
Hufford said the fellows decided to begin Hamilton's social media makeover by focusing on Facebook before moving on to other platforms. A two-month trial revealed surprising results.
"We did some statistical analysis and we thought we'd get around 80 additional 'likes' on Facebook over the test period, but we ended up getting 426 more likes, so that was a huge jump," he said.
(As of Nov. 1, 2013 the page had about 3,770 likes. That means the page has 60 fans for every 1000 city residents, although it's likely some of the city's Facebook fans live outside Hamilton).
The dramatic uptick in fans inspired the fellows to enter the City of Hamilton in the SMLA. Stone said the fellows stumbled onto the competition site and submitted their results just prior to the deadline. When they found out they'd been chosen, he said they were beyond excited.
"Excited would be putting lightly," he said. "About an hour after we found out, we were still running around telling everyone."
Updating posts seven days a week and several times throughout the day helped the Facebook page not only
increase in relevance but reach a much larger audience, Stone said.
In order to promote interaction, the fellows created competitions, such as the "Photo of the Week," where residents submit entries resulting in a winning post on the site. The fellows also pose questions to spark conversation, like asking residents to name their favorite Halloween movie.
Unexpected involvement
One of the most unexpected results of the updated Facebook page is residents themselves debunking rumors, misinformation and responding to negative posts. Stone said recently, a resident commented on a post about the Meldahl Hydroelectric Project having no bearing on the City of Hamilton. Stone said another resident not only responded to the post, but went so far as to provide extensive information.
"They actually went to our city web page and gave them a link for more information about that project and what is has to do and what it means for our city," Stone said. "That's really exciting for us to see."
Hamilton resident James Brown has been visiting the city's Facebook page for the last two years. He said he appreciates the increased number of posts on the site that allow him to keep apprised of events and news for the city.
Next page: Negative comments color user experience
One thing Brown doesn't like? Negative comments. He said City of Hamilton residents tend to voice their dissatisfaction far more than their approval. As a resident of the city since 2005, Brown said he's seen improvements in the city and urges other residents to give leaders a chance before turning to criticism.
"I'd like to see more people getting involved," he said. "I'd like to see posts every day: different things that are going on. I'd like to see more people getting involved and interacting with each other in a positive way."

Wow! Just made this soup and had to give it a great review! It is a bit time consuming if you do all steps at once, but so worth the time. I'll admit, I did forget the cayenne but didn't realize 'til I read another review. So savory, and the dumplings are delicious!flag if inappropriate
This is a fantastic soup, especially on a cold winter day. Everyone very happily had seconds. This is definately going to become a staple recipe in our house.flag if inappropriate
I didn't have any porcini mushrooms so I used shitake instead along with the baby bellas and added a small cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. I can't imagine it being any better. We thought the soup was wonderful.flag if inappropriate

Re: Art that doesn't need its own thread
This thread is SUCH a great idea! For a while now I've been just dicking around with Photoshop and ImageReady, not anything anywhere near worthy of it's own threads, just simple stuff, so I've never posted it or anything.
This is a non-canon ship from Bridge Commander, the USS Chabot - Refit, that I animated:
I made a similar one with a screencap from First Contact:
As well as a similar avatar of the Enterprise D:
I've also tried my hand at recreating the transporter effect from TOS:
Not that this one meshes well at all, TOS effects, TNG background, and DS9 uniform.
(Yes, that's me being an uber-nerd.
Like I said, wicked simple stuff, but I'm proud of it anyways.
I don't exactly have any specific direction I go with these sort of things, I just kind of pick a specific effect or technique I'd like to be able to do with Photoshop, mess around with it until I figure out how to do it, and then pop out a few different pictures that use that effect or technique. That's why I have 3 different warp-jump pictures, and (although I didn't post all of them) 3 different transporter effects.

Notebook: Rochester is next stop in Darin Mastroianni's rehab stint
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony addressed the media Sunday afternoon prior to the series finale versus the Houston Astros. One thing which came to light during Sunday's pre-game festivities was that as of Monday, the Twins' entire starting outfield from opening day will be in Rochester (Josh Willingham-Aaron Hicks-Chris Parmelee).
Injury Updates
• Outfielder Darin Mastroianni (foot) is slated to join the Rochester Red Wings on Tuesday on the road as the club takes on the Durham Bulls (Triple-A Tampa Bay). At that point, every single outfielder on the Opening Day roster with the exception of Wilkin Ramirez -- rehabbing at Double-A -- will be on the Rochester roster.
Mastroianni is off to a fast start in his rehab stint, as he's hitting .357/.444/.500 in his first five games between the GCL Twins and the Fort Myers Miracle (High-A).
• First-round pick starter Kohl Stewart (foot) is expected to return to game action in the next 10-12 days per Antony. "I think the estimated date for him to come back is Aug. 16," Antony said.
Stewart stepped on a shell on a Fort Myers beach on an off day, and sustained a cut to the bottom of his foot. Antony said that Stewart was playing catch from 90 feet to keep his arm strong, but he wasn't throwing bullpens in an attempt to keep him from altering his motion.
• Fourth-round pick starter Stephen Gonsalves was promoted from the GCL Twins to Elizabethton, but promptly strained a hamstring while running in the outfield. It's not a serious issue, but he will be on the shelf for a few days, per Antony.
• Shortstop Pedro Florimon (wrist) was out of the lineup for the second straight day.
"He's still a little sore," Gardenhire said. "He'll get checked out by the doctors today."
Florimon was available for late-inning defensive purposes, as well as to pinch run in Sunday's game.
* Non-roster starter Nick Blackburn has been experiencing some tendinitis in his right knee at Triple-A, to the extent that he had a cortisone shot in recent days.
"It hasn't really improved a lot over the last three to four days," Antony said. "He played catch at 60 feet the other day, and that's about the extent of what he's doing."
Blackburn has made six starts across three levels in the Twins farm system this year, going 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 4.4 strikeouts per 9 innings. He's making $5.5 million in what'll be the last year of a four-year, $14 million deal signed in March 2010.
• According Maury Brown, founder of BizofBaseball.com, the Twins have experienced the fifth-largest attendance regression in the major leagues from 2012 to 2013. Only the Miami Marlins, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, and Chicago Cubs have larger average crowd decreases than the Twins (-3,441).
• The Arizona Diamondbacks designated left-handed reliever Tony Sipp for assignment Sunday. In 48 appearances with the Snakes, Sipp had compiled a 3.86 ERA and had fanned 10.2 batters per 9 innings. The 30-year-old Sipp pitched for the Indians for four years before being dealt to Arizona in the Trevor Bauer/Shin-Soo Choo megadeal.
The Twins don't need much help in the relief corps, but it's not everyday that a left-hander who strikes out a batter an inning comes around, let alone one the Twins have plenty of familiarity with (34 appearances in his career). Keep an eye on that one.
• Gardenhire said that Sunday was just a mental day for Trevor Plouffe, who has been struggling of late. Since returning from the All Star break, Plouffe is just 6 for 51 (.118/.182/.137) with just one extra-base hit.
"Yeah, exactly," Gardenhire said. "Jamey (Carroll) needs to play, and you could see him a little flustered last night. He hit more downstairs and in the back room than he did on the field."
• Gardenhire was very complimentary of Doug Bernier's defensive capabilities at short, especially in light of him making nice plays going to each direction as a fill-in for the scratched Florimon Saturday night.
"He can pick it," Gardenhire said. "He can move around out there. He pays attention. Good arm strength. He can throw from a lot of angles. With Carroll out there, we should be able to catch the ball pretty decent. I probably jinxed it."
• Gardenhire gave a brief statement on the impending BioGenesis suspensions that are expected to be handed out in the next few days.
"I don't have any opinions on it, because it's not my job," Gardenhire said. "Let Major League Baseball do their thing. This isn't the greatest moment in baseball. We'll just have to see what happens, and move past it. Hopefully it won't come towards Minnesota."

I drank coctails with him and all he could do was gush about the fact he was going to be in a film called 'The Wedding Crashers'...with Christopher Walken!!! He was so excited. Such a lovely guy...then. Who know's how corrupted he's been since skyrocketing in Hollywood...

New dormouse town springs up at Juniper Hill
Dormice have recently been designated a European protected species because of their declining numbers and vulnerability. This is mainly due to the loss of habitat, especially nesting sites, caused by large scale coppicing.
Joint project with the Surrey Wildlife Trust (SWT)
Recently Dave Williams, SWT Mammal Project Officer, led a survey and found that Dormice were living on Juniper Hill. We decided to give these little creatures a helping hand and work together to increase the population.
Dormice live in trees and need to be able to move between them; coppicing causes big gaps and restricts their movements and feeding capabilities.
New homes
We've funded 60 new homes (boxes) and our conservation volunteer group have worked hard to put them up. Dave Williams supervised the work and has trained the volunteers to monitor the boxes for activity.
Dave said: 'It may take a little time, but we're hoping the dormice will move into the breeding boxes, give birth and raise their young over the coming summers. They hibernate on the ground over winter but often return to the same site for breeding. If this project is successful it should make survival a bit less of a struggle for the dormice and lead to an increase in their numbers.'
Juniper Hill is one of only 12 known sites in Surrey where dormice are found and we hope that they'll flourish here. We'll let you know how they get on in their new homes...

[PUNK ROCK] White Lung could throw in with any of today's de-rigueur revivals (spooky post-punk or nostalgic grunge or noisy hardcore) and rule it within minutes, but the Vancouver, B.C., quartet is so skilled at skimming each scene's cream it'll probably never need a movement at its back. This year's Sorry merges the aforementioned kindred schools into a fanged punk monster bent on finding the perfect middle between blood lust and beauty, and it is spectacular.

Passengers Slog Home After Carnival Cruise
Passengers finally escaped the disabled Carnival cruise ship Triumph and were on the move Friday: some checked into hotels while others hopped on buses or jumped on charter flights home after five numbing days at sea on a cruise liner paralyzed by an engine-room fire.
The vacation ship carrying some 4,200 people docked late Thursday in Mobile to raucous cheers from passengers weary of overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
"Sweet Home Alabama!" read one of the homemade signs passengers affixed alongside the 14-story ship as many celebrated along deck rails lining several levels of the stricken ship. The ship's horn blasted several times as four tugboats helped it to shore at about 9:15 p.m. CST. Some gave a thumbs-up sign and flashes from cameras and cellphones lit the night.
"It was horrible, just horrible" said Maria Hernandez, 28, of Angleton, Texas, tears welling in her eyes as she talked about waking up to smoke in her lower-level room Sunday from the engine-room fire and the days of heat and stench that followed. She was on a "girls trip" with friends.
It took about four hours for all passengers to disembark.
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said passengers had three options: take a bus straight to Galveston, Texas, to retrieve cars parked at the ship's departure port, take a bus to New Orleans to stay at a hotel before a charter flight home or have family or friends pick them up in Mobile.
As if the passengers hadn't endured enough, one of the buses broke down during the two-hour ride to New Orleans. Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the passengers got on another bus and made it safely to New Orleans. Passengers aboard another bus also said their luggage was somehow lost.
Gulliksen said up to 20 charter flights would leave New Orleans later Friday to take guests who stayed in hotels there to their final destinations.
Nearly 2,000 passengers arrived at a New Orleans Hilton in the wee hours, and by dawn many were headed out again to fly to Houston. They then had to get a connecting flight home or chartered bus back to their cars in Galveston.
"It just feels so good to be on land again and to feel like I have options," said Tracey Farmer of Tulsa, Okla. "I'm just ready to see my family. It's been harder on them than us I think because they've been so worried about us. It's been extremely stressful for them."
Buses arrived at the Port of Galveston on Friday morning after an eight-hour drive from Mobile. Port of Galveston police said they expected as many as 800 people by bus.
While complaints about Carnival itself piled up, passengers nearly universally praised the crew.
"The crew was awesome. I don't know how they did it, I mean, gloves, masks, sprays — they were up and down the hallway 24/7. Our little cabin boy, I don't know when he slept because he was always in there cleaning our bathrooms," said Brandi Dorsett, 36, of Sweeny, Texas.
In Mobile, tugs pulled the ship away from the dock Friday, moving it down a waterway in the direction of a shipyard where city officials said it will be repaired. Gulliksen said the damage assessment was ongoing and the company did yet have a timetable for the repairs. Several cranes were stationed alongside the ship and smoke could be seen spewing from its generators.
Only hours earlier, weary passengers streamed down the gangplank, some in wheelchair.
For 24-year-old Brittany Ferguson, of Texas, the worst part was not knowing how long they would be at sea.
"I'm feeling awesome just to see land and buildings," said Ferguson, who was in a white robe to keep her warm during cold nights.
As the ship pulled up, some aboard shouted, "Hello, Mobile!" Some danced. "Happy V-Day" read one of the homemade signs made for the Valentine's Day arrival and another, more starkly: "The ship's afloat, so is the sewage."
A line of taxis waited for people, and motorists on Interstate 10 stopped to watch the exodus of passengers. Some still aboard chanted, "Let me off, let me off!"
It took six grueling hours navigating the 30-mile ship channel. At nearly 900 feet in length, it was the largest cruise ship ever to dock at Mobile.
Galveston is the home port of the ill-fated ship, which lost power in an engine-room fire Sunday some 150 miles off Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
A team of six investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board was in Mobile to look into what caused the engine room fire, NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said Friday.
The NTSB was working with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bahamas Maritime Authority, which will serve as the primary investigative agency. The Bahamian government was taking the lead because the Triumph is a Bahamian-flagged vessel and it was in international waters at the time of the fire, Holloway said.
Still, the NTSB could take information from the probe and use it to make recommendations for improving cruise ship safety, he said.
Carnival CEO Gerry Cahill apologized at a news conference and later on the public address system as people disembarked.
"I appreciate the patience of our guests and their ability to cope with the situation. And I'd like to reiterate the apology I made earlier. I know the conditions on board were very poor," he said. "We pride ourselves on providing our guests with a great vacation experience, and clearly we failed in this particular case."
Joseph and Cecilia Alvarez of San Antonio said some passengers passed the time by forming a Bible study group.
"It was awesome," he said. "It lifted up our souls and gave us hope that we would get back."
The company disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as filthy, saying employees were doing everything to ensure people were comfortable.
In a text message, Kalin Hill, of Houston, described deplorable conditions over the past few days.
"The lower floors had it the worst, the floors `squish' when you walk and lots of the lower rooms have flooding from above floors," Hill wrote. "Half the bachelorette party was on two; the smell down there literally chokes you and hurts your eyes."
Passengers were supposed to get a full refund and discounts on future cruises, and Carnival said it would give an additional $500 in compensation.
"This is my first and last cruise. So if anyone wants my free cruise, look me up," said Kendall Jenkins, 24, of Houston. Bounding off the ship in bathrobes, she and her friend Brittany Ferguson immediately kissed the pavement at the Port of Mobile in Alabama.

The Promised Land : April 2011
Voices From the Gulf Coast: Reimagining a Way of Life
Saturday, April 30, 2011
New Orleans East is home to the most-dense ethnically Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. In the Gulf region, about 80 percent of Vietnamese Americans were connected to the fishing industry, and the BP oil spill hit the community hard. Vietnamese fisherfolk are trying to rebuild their lives - opening sustainable farms, gas stations, nail salons, and aquaponic projects - while also dealing with the mental anguish that surfaces when a lifetime on the water suddenly disappears.
Voices From the Gulf Coast: Wilma Subra
Saturday, April 23, 2011
Wilma Subra is a chemist who has spent her career defending local communities against Louisiana's powerful oil and gas industry. She received a MacArthur Fellowship for helping "ordinary citizens understand, cope with and combat environmental issues." When the Deepwater Horizon oil spill happened in the Gulf of Mexico, Wilma's phone started ringing and hasn't stopped. Majora Carter spends a day with Wilma Subra as she travels from her office in New Iberia — past town after town she's helped with environmental concerns during the last 30 years.
Voices From the Gulf Coast: Nat Turner
Saturday, April 16, 2011
For Nat Turner, garden rakes and shovels are tools for transformation. He's transformed an old store in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward into an urban Eden. Blair Grocery is now both a nontraditional school and an urban farm run by youth who've dropped out of mainstream education. Majora spends two days observing the teaching and training that makes the Blair Grocery Project a true innovation.
Voices From the Gulf Coast: Kyshun Webster
Saturday, April 09, 2011
Dr. Kyshun Webster is a man who gets things done. And before that, he was a kid who got things done. Now the founder and executive director of Operation Reach, an extensive family of programs for kids throughout the Gulf South, Kyshun has been working to improve his community since he was a kid himself. Majora joins Kyshun as he returns to his childhood roots to explain the inspiration for his 20 years of inspiring youth to greatness.

GOULDBUSK, TEXAS. Gouldbusk, twenty miles south of Coleman in south central Coleman County, was named for William Gould-Busk, an English rancher who bought the Starkweather ranch around 1886. The town developed after the sale of ranchland for farms in 1903. It became a small center for cotton ginning and had a post office. In 1940 Gouldbusk had a gin, a post office, six businesses, and 150 residents, but a decline during and after World War II reduced the population to seventy by 1980. In 2000 it was still seventy.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have always admired the great astronomers starting from the dawn of man to the very modern times. I have always contemplated the existence of intelligent life in the universe that may be monitoring the cosmos for our presence.
This is truly an exciting time for Radio Astronomy, Never before has such a large technological breakthrough like the internet allowed the unification
of resources around the world for the collective endeavor of Radio Astronomy.
It is an exciting time for the planet, yet still it is an urgent time. There is far to much destruction of our fellow brothers, and sisters around the world, far to much destruction of our natural earth environment, Far to much hunger, and war on our planet that will ultimately lead to complete inhalation.
It is very important that people get involved with the understanding of many cultures, the ongoing effort to prevent hunger, and disease, the ongoing effort to be good custodians to our mother earth.
There is no point in saying hello if we do not as a people have the merit to show our selves not as a violent species, but as one who has evolved, and adapted to become a higher intelligence ourselves.
The Bottom middle image is one I found on the internet. it is a rock in Jerusalem where many believe Jesus Christ was crucified. If you look at the image careful you will see a sort of image of a bearded man, as well as the alien image I have highlighted in green for you to see.
It has been a while since I had the chance to update my profile on SET@home. I had just recently started using the BOINC program again, and I have been researching various subjects on the internet. Do I cover allot of Subjects.
Just recently I came across an article on the NRAO's website(National Radio Observatory). They had an interesting article about a young man named Lucas Bolyard who helped them analyze data at the GreenBank Radio Observatory, and discovered what appeared to them as a new pulsar like object called a rotating radio transient.
As I looked at the data for this finding I had found something quite interesting.
On a chart which graphs dispersion over time or DM as it it referred to, I had noticed something quite odd about the pulse that was detected, and recorded.
The pulse was sort of shaped like a rocket ship used in 1950's style science fiction movies. It was very similar to the Robert A. Hienlens Space ship. I said WOW! Is this real... I mean Is this a fake signal, a prank or what. I have not received any word back from them yet after contacting the observatory ands the SETI institute yet. I just find it amazing that a the signal looked like that, I am thinking that it is real signal from an extraterrestrial intelligence that may have intercepted some of our signal broadcasts from the 1950's, and sent it back to earth to acknowledge the receiving of our transmissions. Quite possible our broadcast from the past are traveling much faster than we have predicted due to some form of ducting in space allowing radio wave to go further out. Now why a rocket ship I think to myself, Why would they send an inkblot looking pattern of a rocket ship. Maybe because it is the one technology that they have analyzed that they can relate to in regards to space travel, and how we get from one place to another so it would make sense to send a signal that is easy to comprehend. I have just posted the picture of the graph as my profile picture for you to look at. Im saying WOW! right now. I just hope that this is a WOW! signal. it would be the second one in history so far. The First one being in 1977 by Dr. Jerry Ehman of Ohio State University.
