Clinging to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, Reading senior pitcher Anna Slusher didn't panic when she gave up her first hit of the game to Wyoming and then proceeded to throw a wild pitch that advanced runners to second and third with two outs.

Modded Voigt Anyone?
Been scouring the internet looking for a relatively inexpensive but nice FR speaker project. I've built a set of the Audax HT speakers but want a high efficiency set strictly for listening pleasure. The plan is to use them with a Thorens TT, and Bottlehead tube components.
The consensus seems to be that Fostex drivers are a good economical entry point. I've been specifically looking at the 206's or 207's. I was intruiged with some of the project built around the 103's since cabinet size and style will be important for the WAIF factor. Doesn't look like you can get the 103's anymore (unless it's on eBay).
Right now I'm leaning towards the Singular probably with the FE 206's and the correction circuit. However, I do love the shape of those Voigt Pipes. Anyone have any feedback concerning these as opposed to the Singular? Would the Voigt be suitable for the 206's or 07's? And finally, what kind of negative impact would reshaping the design have (assuming the internal dimensions remained)? I was thinking that it would be nice to construct the Voigts but instead of making them so linear, add a gentle curve to the front baffle and possibly the back. Just a gentle, gradual curve backward. Also the internal dimensions would be the same, would this have an effect on the internal sound waves and their behavior? What would be the best method to research this aside from actually building them?

Have a look at this: L C of Norway Voigt Pipe -quick fix
They really aren't big enough to do the job properly, but the ported version will offer better performance. Not quite as efficient, but you'll get a better response. I'll have a quick check & get back to you.
As for the curves, I'm not sure. I'm not sold on the use of them, as LF don't appear to care much one way or the other, but I doubt it'd hurt.

I built these for a friend, using FE206's and I really liked them. They required around 4 ohms of series resistance when paired with a SS amp...a SE tube amp will need less. The same design would work with the FE207 and no series R.
I now have the same drivers in Ron's Dallas II horn, which I like better, but is harder to build and weigh 140lb per side.

Check out "Terry Cain's BIB..." thead below yours. I'd think the 207 would fair pretty well in that design, nice slim cabinet that will most likely sound better than the Voigt.
Godzilla is currently working out a page with dimensions, etc. Give it a read though.

Thank you for the reply. I was beginning to think that my idea had gone over like a lead balloon. My thought was to give the Voigt a more organic shape which could end up being fairly nice if done correctly.
Since I'm on the subject what are general feelings about the Voigt pipes? I don't see too much mention of them. Would I be better off with the Buschhorns? I'm also considering those since that seems to be a popular box design. My only question with the Buschhorns is that all seemed to be built for Fostex drivers no longer in production.
I'll take a look at the link and thanks again.

It depends what you call a Voigt Pipe.
The generic shape / cabinet style, where the sealed end is narrow and the open end (or end with an opening in) is wide is simply a Tapered Quarter Wave Tube (TQWT). See Jeremy's picture, or Martin King's Project 2 ML TQWT which remains my all time favourite budget ported enclosure, TL or otherwise.
The specific cabinet I believe you're refering to, the Lowther Club of Norway 'Voigt Pipe' is a loathsome contrivance in unmodified form. Not because it comes to a point at the top, which is the most common objection, but because a) it really doesn't have enough cabinet volume for the drivers it's allegedly designed for, and b) it's vent size is far too large. You can make it work by reducing the vent size as I suggested in the thread linked above. It'll reduce efficiency by a few db, but flatten the response out, and also give you an extra 20Hz LF extension. Not ideal, but it's much better than standard.
Would you be better off with a Buschorn? Depends on your priorities. The smallest version of the MK2 works with the FE83E, the larger with the FE103E, FE108ESigma, and also apparantly the FE126E with minor modifications. They have a great reputation for the midrange and top end, though they obviously have limitations in the low-frequency range.
Me, I'd take the middle approach, go for the 6 1/2in FE167E and use in Martin's Project 2 ML TQWT cabinet, particularly given that you like the appearence of the TQWT. (The 167 is a drop-in replacement for the the FE164 originally used, and if anything works a bit better). I've built 3 pairs, 2 of which were, er, borrowed by musician friends who refused to give them back. Solid performance from 40Hz-20KHz.

I've just read Martin's paper on the ML TQWT more closely and found it quite interesting. Has anyone tried this with any other driver except the 164 (since they don't seem to be in production anymore) like the 167E, or 206E?

Yes. As I say, I've built 3 pairs, the last of which (Mine! All mine!) is playing June Tabour as I type. First 2 had the FE167E, which simulate better in this enclosure than the original 164 did. The currect pair have the FF165K, a driver I happen to love. Only change needed to the cabinet is a reduction in port diameter to 2in from the original 3in. Gives a bit more bass, and a smoother, deeper mid. I like non-whizzer full / wide-rangers. There are other drivers that work too with minor vent modifications. As I say, the most versatile enclosure I have ever run across.

In the Garden:
Northern & Central Midwest
May, 2001
Regional Report
The soft emerging leaves of a pin oak (Quercus palustris) are accompanied by delicate, dangling flowers.
Flowering Shade Trees
Spring has been so slow in coming this year, it's given me extra time to appreciate the subtleties of the season. Most years I can't wait for the shade trees to be in full leaf. This spring's slow approach, however, has reminded me to enjoy the wonderful flowers of shade trees. Yes, the wild plums and forsythia are beautiful when they bloom, but so are the large trees.
Shade Tree Flowers
When most people think of flowering trees, flowering crabapples and magnolias and such come to mind. However, large trees such as maples, oaks, and elms put on a show, too. Granted, their flowers aren't as spectacular as those of a saucer magnolia, but they're beautiful in their own right. More important, many trees bloom when nothing else does, allowing us to enjoy their promise that summer really is coming.
Favorite Flowering Trees
My favorite early spring-blooming trees are red maples (Acer rubrum) and 'Freeman' maples (A. rubrum 'Freeman'). In the early morning light, they absolutely glow with clusters of crimson and yellow flowers. Very soon after the flowers drop their petals, you begin to see tiny red-winged seeds hanging from the flowers, making the color display last several weeks.
The enormous-leaved Norway maples (A. platanoides) burst forth with large clusters of yellow-green flowers. These are particularly striking against a gray sky, which we've seen plenty of this year. The closely related 'Schwedler' Norway maple and 'Crimson King' Norway maple not only have the chartreuse flowers, but their blossoms are surrounded by deep maroon unfolding leaves. You couldn't ask for a better floral combination.
Of Oaks and Elms
Once the oaks and elms start blooming, I know the warm season is truly on its way. The plump buds of elms open with tiny clusters of greenish red flowers that are showy for their shear number, which covers the tree in a cloud. Oak catkins expand by dangling flowers on slender stalks, something like golden-green earrings. It's hard not to be cheered by these beautiful works of art.
And Birches and Alders
Birches and alders bloom with long, graceful catkins with two different kinds of flowers. The male flowers, on the tips of the branches, shed clouds of soft yellow pollen when brushed by the wind or a hand, while the female flowers are suspended gracefully on long, swaying stems.
Flowering Larch
If you have the good fortune to have a larch growing nearby, make a point of observing it through the spring. Larch, or tamarack, is a deciduous conifer, meaning that it puts out an entire crop of new needles each spring. The bright green new needles are born in tufts at the same time the tree begins to bloom. The flowers and following tiny cones are shades of red, pink, and purple.
So the next time you're outside admiring the flowering rhododendrons and daffodils, look up. You'll be amazed at the beauty overhead in those large shade trees.

How Many Times Has Your Personal Data Been Stolen This Year?
If you don't know how many data breaches have occurred within the past few years, you must be living under a rock. From the Veterans Administration to TJ Maxx (one of the largest consumer leaks ever) and from hospitals to corporations, security breaches have compromised many American identities. Privacy Rights Clearinghouse reports that more than 150 publicly reported data breaches occurred between February 2005 and March 2006 alone, putting the personal information of more than 54 million Americans at risk.
Although veterans, shoppers, patients and employees have demanded more privacy protection, federal legislation can prove ineffectual unless data wasn't secured sufficiently. States have stepped in, but they've passed privacy laws that represent mere patchwork solutions to an international problem. In addition, technological advances have expanded potential for data to be used and compromised by legitimate companies and in underground chat rooms. How can you protect yourself from personal data exposure?
The following information will help you to discover whether your personal data has been compromised in the first place. If it has, you'll find more information about what to do to correct the problem - if anything needs to be done - and ways to protect yourself in the future.
Types of Data Breaches
The Federal Reserve Bank in Philadelphia held a conference [PDF] in September 2006 that focused on information security, data breaches, and cardholder information protection. They identified three types of data breaches that affect consumers:
- Data at rest: Data at rest is information that resides on computers or on other devices within an organization. This type of data represents a specific risk because that data is vulnerable to insider threats, and these threats are hardest to protect against.
- Data in transit: Data in transit is information that is traveling over networks. While this data is often more secure within corporate environments as it is the most straightforward problem to address with encryption methods, data in transit in the private sector is less secure where there is often a more extensive processing chain with multiple parties using several networks.
- Data in travel: Data in travel includes information stored on laptops or other portable devices like thumb-drives, PDAs, and cell phones. According to this report, the Federal Reserve "has policies that define appropriate use of data and how and where the data can be transported." Researchers found that lost or stolen laptops remain the top culprit, accounting for 45 percent of all the incidents studied by the Ponemon Institute.
The problem here is that the Federal Reserve represents just one entity among thousands that hold personal information on file in at least one, if not all three, situations noted above. The well-publicized Veterans Administration (VA) 'breach' that occurred in 2006, for example, was just one of five breaches that the VA experienced in 2006. All total, approximately 28,637,500 veterans were affected by these events.
While the computer that contained information that affected 26.5 million veterans was found and it was felt that none of the information had been compromised, this doesn't mean that any veteran can rest easy. The VA's Security Operations Center has referred 250 security breach incidents since July 2006 to its inspector general, which has led to 46 separate investigations that has affected millions of veterans, VA patients, and physicians.
While these government breaches seem inexcusable and incompetent, it is somewhat heartening to understand that not all 'breaches' lead to identity theft, nor are they the only means by which identity theft may occur. With that said, how do you know if your information was included in any one of the numerous cases that were documented over the past few years outside the VA? As you'll learn below, you may not know if your information has been compromised until the damage has been done.
Data Breach Omissions
In some cases, you might not learn that your data was stolen until the company or organization that was affected informs you about the breach. Often, you'll find out about a breach in the news much faster, as data breaches and their consequences have become more prominent in the press. While federal legislation has moved slowly, California was the first state to act on consumer protection, and businesses and organizations are following suit.
California's Senate Bill 1386, which was enacted in August 2002 and became effective in July 2003, has become the benchmark for data breach notification. This bill requires firms that do business in California to notify consumers when a data breach has occurred, regardless how that information was or was not used. Since the California market is sufficiently large, if consumers are affected in that state, then consumers could be affected nationwide.
Take, for instance, the case in 2004 where ChoicePoint learned that their data may have been compromised. While ChoicePoint maintains a dossier on virtually every American consumer that includes name, address, Social Security numbers, credit reports, and more. ChoicePoint remained mute about the theft for four months on the claim that a government agency forced the firm to delay notifying individuals, even in California. Finally, in February 2005, over 30,000 Californians were informed about the breach. Within days, ChoicePoint confirmed that scammers culled personal information about tens of thousands of Americans, and that this theft resulted in at least 750 individual cases of identity theft within those four months.
As of 2006, twenty states created statutes that impose restrictions on the use and transmission of Social Security numbers. Six states have set general standards for information security, and some states are beginning to implement statutes that require appropriate disposal of sensitive records. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) passed regulations in 2005 that require proper destruction of consumer reports based upon the fact that more employers are ordering background, credit history, and criminal conviction checks on job applicants and current employees. This 'patchwork' of legislation is grounds for the adaptation of uniform consumer protection, a policy-making process that's in the works but far from being employed.
Data Breach Research
At this point you probably realize that the dissemination of your personal information often is beyond your control. And, if you don't stay in touch with the news or if you haven't been informed personally about a breach, you might not realize that your personal information was probably in peril several times - not just once - within the past year alone.
Privacy Rights Clearinghouse maintains a public database that lists all known data breaches that occurred from 10 January 2005 to the latest known breach in June 2007. A quick glance at this list shows that the majority of hacked, stolen, and lost information occurred at universities, government agencies, and banks across the nation. While businesses aren't immune from data breaches, the general public might hope that they could trust colleges, financial institutions, and the government to keep their personal information safe.
If you can find a reason to believe that your information was included in any one or more of the breaches listed at the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, then you might want to conduct more research about the particular incident(s). You can search online, but you can also call the organization directly or learn more about the incident through the organization's Web site. In some cases, you might find class action lawsuits that have been generated, but your chances at achieving restitution might be slim unless the organization didn't take measures to protect your information.
Data Breach Costs
Data breaches per se do not violate the law as a company or organization can take reasonable precautions and still be victimized. However, the failure to adequately secure consumer data can be grounds for violation of the "unfair or deceptive practices" standard of the Federal Trade Commission Act and possibly the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA [PDF]), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. If you become involved with a class action lawsuit, you might inquire if any one or all of these protective acts are being incorporated into the suit.
Although the personal cost to consumers - even when data has not been compromised - is huge, corporations and organizations that have victimized are paying increasingly higher costs for data breach incidents. eWeek reported that the Ponemon Institute discovered the average cost of a breach above and beyond any consequences of the misuse of data equaled $182 per data record. This study covered thirty-one breaches that amounted to an average cost of $4.8 million per incident, per firm. This cost reflects a thirty percent increase over the costs calculated in the previous year.
Unfortunately, since many companies and organizations aren't prepared for data breach incidents, their initial unrehearsed actions often account for this high cost. Credit card issuers often phone customers when those consumers' data might have been compromised rather than using the mail. In these instances, the credit issuers often offer the chance to close a compromised account and offer incentives to discourage those customers from taking their business elsewhere. Phone calls, compensation for closed accounts, and incentives all add to the company's bottom line.
In addition, the cost for a breach could include fines and restitution that the FTC or that banking regulators might order. These costs would include paying for credit monitoring services for consumers whose data were exposed. Non-banking organizations that fail to adequately store data securely also can face penalties from the FTC, as this organization has the authority to impose an annual twenty-year audit requirement that can prove costly.
These costs will force organizations and businesses to tighten security when they can afford it, or force smaller businesses to abandon online purchase procedures because of the cost. On the other hand, many consumers have learned that online purchases are often fraught with real or imagined perils, and this additional fear puts the entire online purchase and banking situation at a crossroads.
I wish I could tell you about an easy solution to this growing data breach problem, but that solution doesn't exist. You can, however, reduce your risk for identity theft through actions that you can control. You can also learn more about credit card security issues so you're aware of changes within this financial arena. When you gain knowledge and prepare for the worst possible scenario, your efforts will save time and money in the long run.
Online security issues are also important, but you might breathe easier knowing that only twenty-three percent of all malicious software created in 2006 exploited software security vulnerability. In fact, you are responsible for compromising your security when you infect your computer with malicious software. Don't click on virus-laden emails attachments (or any attachments for that matter unless you've verified their arrival with the sending party), and be careful about clicking on links contained within instant messages or even on trusted sites. Before you click, right click on those links to see if their URL addresses match the name of the business or organization. If not, click at your own risk.
Finally, it may be wise to note that many laws currently state that organizations and businesses are allowed a forty-five day window before they need to inform consumers about a data breach. You can, in that time frame, already know if your financial accounts have been compromised by reviewing your monthly bills. You also can bookmark the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse site as well as the Federal Trade Commission site so you can stay on top of any changes in known cases and in legislation. As soon as you discover that your personal information might be at risk, take steps immediately to secure your privacy and your information. Even if you discover later that your information remained safe, the steps you take now can provide you with the skills you need to remain secure.

President, Ball State Board of Trustees
The board of trustees recognizes that the Muncie Community Schools is grappling with difficult and complex issues. It is especially important that the community has accurate information during this process.
Trustee Tom Bracken's comments at the MCS board meeting Tuesday were not accurate. Ball State does not currently have an interest in acquiring either the Northside Middle School or Anthony Administration properties. Mr. Bracken was speaking as a private citizen and not on behalf of the board of trustees or the university. There was no "message" being delivered.
I hope this clarifies matters and that Mr. Bracken's comments will not become a distraction.

It's all part of the game.
There's a whole lot of pain,
And there's not much to gain.
I guess they're not aware,
Even if we stare,
That it isn't fair,
(but they probably don't care)
We've lost all our pride,
We have nowhere to hide,
We fought a lost fight,
And now we're dying inside.
I guess there's something we omit.
For we must learn to enjoy it,
And see things the way we see fit,
Trust little and rely on own wit.
But we don't want to lie
to ourself, or cry,
We're just a guy,
That don't want their heart to die.
And we never feel bliss,
Falling down this bottomless abyss,
This feeling we cannot dismiss,
What idiot started this?
There's nothing to gain,
And there's too much pain,
All our lives were in vain,
Things will never be the same.
Left to die in the cold rain,
We are barely still sane,
All these rules are so lame,
I guess life is just a game.
No going back the way we came.

Arraignment continued for teacher accused of having drugs and alcohol on campus
An Anderson first-grade teacher charged with possessing drugs and alcohol at the elementary school campus appeared Friday in Shasta County Superior Court for her arraignment.
But Jessica Lynn LaFayette's plea was postponed after she told Superior Court Judge Greg Gaul her defense attorney could not appear because he is hospitalized.
LaFayette, who has been placed on unpaid administrative leave from Meadow Lane Elementary School, is charged with two misdemeanor counts.
According to an Anderson police report filed in Shasta County Superior Court on April 9, police were contacted on Feb. 7 after a janitor found a black purse in the school's staff lounge and looked inside to try to determine its owner.
Inside the purse she found a marijuana pipe, a flask containing alcohol and a Costco membership card belonging to LaFayette, police said.
Also found inside the purse was a miniscule amount of marijuana and two grams of methamphetamine.
When later questioned by police, LaFayette said the purse was not hers and denied ever smoking marijuana or using methamphetamine.
"LaFayette told me she does not do drugs and she does not keep them around," Sgt. Bryan Van Dyke wrote in the police report.
But LaFayette later admitted to using methamphetamine in 1988 when she was a high school senior, the report said.
She also said she did not know how her Costco card ended up in the purse.
LaFayette, who quickly left the courthouse following the brief arraignment, told Gaul she has hired attorney Elliot Burick to represent her.
Burick, who returned a message left at his office, said he expects to be released next week from Shasta Regional Medical Center.
He said he's certain his client is innocent and is baffled over why criminal charges were filed against her.
"It's confusing why they (the district attorney's office) would file on that kind of evidence," he said. "It's not her purse."
He also said the Costco card found in the purse is 13 years old.
According to the school's web site, LaFayette graduated from West Valley High School in 1988 and has a teaching credential from National University.
She received a bachelor of arts degree in liberal studies from Simpson University and worked at Verde Vale Elementary School before teaching at Meadow Lane.
It also said she worked as a medical biller for 13 years before she became a teacher.
LaFayette's new arraignment date is May 28.
Her hearing Friday came one day after the Shasta County district attorney's office announced it would not file criminal charges against a teacher's aide at Meadow Lane Preschool . In that case it was alleged she aide might have physically abused a student.
It said teacher's aide Elena Marie Atchley physically put a four-year-old child in a "time out" chair on March 7 after the child refused to take part in a school activity and was causing a classroom disturbance.
But, the DA's office said, the child was not injured and did not complain of any pain and that Atchley's conduct was not criminal.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Becomes Highest-Selling Game in USA
By Tim Hage on Mar 12th, 2011 at 3:42PM
According to NPD analyst Anita Frazier, Black Ops has pushed Wii Play out of its #1 spot on USA's all-time best-selling charts after only a few months on the market. Last October, Nintendo reported about 13 million copies of Wii Play had been sold since its December 2006 release, and reports are saying that Black Ops has surpassed that.
Activision has yet to release the actual number of units sold for Black Ops, but we do know that 5.6 million units were sold on release day, and that Black Ops had surpassed $1 billion in sales by late December.

Enjoying another win over Argentina
Fun. I am not talking the band -- I am talking about last night. Pristinely clad (for the first time) in our white ensembles, we danced the tango on the blue turf of Riverbank Arena with our Pan American nemesis, Argentina, on Tuesday. It's a dance we've done often, and this time, like in the Pan American final, we won.
It wasn't exactly a pretty dance -- bodies were flying, sticks were colliding and South American tempers were flaring. Katelyn Falgowski and Melissa Gonzalez kept magic at bay, diffusing the spellbinding skill of Luciana Aymar, known as "La Maga" (the magician) of hockey. Their defensive effort, along with that of others, paved our path to a 1-0 victory.
In the end, it took a lot of discipline and a smidge of good fortune to earn the three points we needed to stay in the hunt for a top-two finish in Pool B. But we managed to get the job done and have a bit of fun along the way.
Be sure to stay tuned as there is more dirty dancing to come Thursday versus Australia.

Malini Raghavan,
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules are ligands for antigen receptors of CD8 T cells and Natural Killer cells. A major interest in our laboratory is in the MHC class I Antigen Processing and Presentation Pathway, the cellular pathway by which complexes of peptides and MHC class I molecules are generated and displayed on the cell surface. We study specific components of this pathway, including the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), tapasin, calreticulin, and ERp57.
TAP transports peptides from the cytosol to the ER for binding to class I MHC molecules, and tapasin is an ER-resident MHC class I-specific assembly factor. Our previous and ongoing work has helped define molecular mechanisms relevant to functions of TAP and tapasin. Human MHC class I genes are highly polymorphic, and polymorphism profoundly impacts the intracellular assembly. Recent genetic studies show that closely related MHC class I allotypes are associated with different rates of progression to AIDS, following HIV infection. Some of our current work is directed at understanding whether the intracellular assembly characteristics of an allotype influence the ability of the allotype to mediate a T or NK cell response.

Despite the many NLP Courses I have been on, I'm almost overwhelmed with everything that's going on at the moment.
And I say almost, because I choose not to be overwhelmed. As I notice myself feeling less than resourceful and my muscles becoming tense I inadvertently smile, as I am sure you sometimes do too when you realize the futility of getting overwhelmed or frustrated. I guess I must have created an anchor so that when I start moving into the less than resources state I instantly take a breath, relax my muscles, smile and let go. Sometimes I have to do it consciously because I am still attached to feelings of frustration when I don't get my way!
And perhaps this is one of the most enlightening and empowering lessons I have re-learned over the last month or so since my silent retreat; that is to allow silence to come into my life whenever I feel that I don't have it. It is at first a decision I have consciously made – that I want to feel connected and empowered, rather than un-resourceful and disempowered – and then it is a commitment to what I have heard described as every day conscious living. Victor, an immensely calm Peruvian yoga instructor I met on my Vipassana meditation had what appeared to be a flag tattooed on the inner side of his forearm. It was a deep orange, green and blue colour which was in fact a symbol or anchor for him to experience every day conscious living.
"Watch your thoughts, for they become words.Watch your words, for they become actions.Watch your actions, for they become habits.Watch your habits, for they become character.Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny." Someone famous!
I think it's very interesting that while I'm travelling and enjoying life and the incredible adventures and freedom of being in India, Singapore, Malaysia and now Thailand I still feel the same emotions that people do right across the world in this new era of uncertainty and enlightenment. While I am free, having a ball and enjoying myself; able to do what I want, when I want with who I want I still have challenges, uncertainties and gaps between where I am and where I want to be. I believe there is a fundamental and inescapable truth in life – that problems never go away! I've heard it said that if we're lucky and grow we tend to have better quality problems, but it is the realm of delusion to hope or assume that one day you will no longer have problems.
As we grow and develop our skills and abilities (for example by immersing ourselves on NLP Courses) we learn to deal with these problems in new ways, at least that is the hope! Unfortunately it is not always the case. One of the ways we can deal with our problems better is through improving our understanding of the influence that language has on us and others, so perhaps calling these experiences challenges rather than problems is a first great step. We all love a challenge!
As Milton Erickson once said "you are going to use words that will influence the psychological and organic life of an individual today…. and twenty five years from now. So you better be willing to reflect upon the words you use… seek out and understand their many associations." And still today, having studied linguistics over the last few years and been on many NLP Courses ,I am absolutely fascinated by the depth of their impact and my ability to continue learning how to use language to better influence my own world and the worlds of those around me.
Another way that we can better deal with our challenges is by embracing the realisation that we create problems through our thinking and perceptions and we can therefore solve them through changing our thinking and perceptions. So, to every problem there is a solution if we can just let go of our old ways of being and open up to a new truth, a new way of experiencing things. In fact I'd even go as far as saying that perhaps we create problems at an unconscious level so that we can evolve to a new level of being. That would be an interesting belief to hold. And that is the power of good NLP Courses, in facilitating change at an unconscious level.
As you may have noticed all has been very quiet on the blog front since my Vipassana silent meditation. It's quite funny because my life has been anything but quiet over the last month or two.
Following a couple of amazing NLP Courses, I have been on an amazing adventure, travelling around Kerala in India for two weeks with my mum, followed by a week with both my best friend and mum in Malaysia. Mother has gone home to England now and I've just come back from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, and I now find myself in Thailand for a month's rest, reading, writing, relaxation, rejuvenation and reconnection. I wonder when and where you are taking time for those things that matter most to you in your life?
So much has happened in the last month it's difficult to know where to start. From relaxing and reflecting in peace on the beach and around the pool at the Secret Beach in Allepey, to my mother arriving and the ensuing adventurous two weeks – including elephant and boat rides on the backwaters of Kerala, to the tea plantations and stunning mountain views in Munar and beyond – it has been pretty much a non-stop assault on the senses and spirit.
We encountered much wildlife on our travels and we spent a couple of days trekking to and from, and relaxing in a small hut in the jungle, which actually looked more like the African bush than Indian jungle. We rode elephants, indulged our eyesight with the beautiful tea plantations and views stretching for miles from the mountains of Munar to the wilderness of Chinnar. We visited more than one bird sanctuary and a couple of wildlife parks and our transport broke down more than once in both Malaysia and India. We experience crashing thunder and awe inspiring lightning; vibrant botanical gardens and another close encounter with a monkey! And then there were the butterfly parks, the gut wrenching food poisoning and to counter it, the stunning beaches in Kerala and Penang; we've even shared wardrobes and taxis with cockroaches. More recently I spent the day at Singapore zoo which was breathtaking and incredibly well designed, although I still find it hard to embrace and enjoy seeing leopards and the like cooped up like prisoners with no end to their sentence!
Throughout my time over the last month, while alone and with my friends and family, the thing that has really struck me is how relationships magnify the human experience. In my journey over the last four weeks I have both dulled and magnified my experience while with and without other people. I've also realised just how important, perhaps the most important thing, relationships really are in life.
I really enjoy and value my time alone. And I also realize that exploring a theme park or zoo; travelling around and exploring is for me not as emotionally engaging or fulfilling as being with someone special. So I do believe that the purpose of relationships is to magnify the human experience.
Unfortunately that can work both ways, for better or for worse! And so having developed the relationship with my mum over the last few weeks, I wonder now where you can use a perceived challenge in your relationships to magnify your experience for the better, by being the change you want to see in others or the world.
So while embracing the reflective nature of our world and the Universe, where do you want to, or perhaps more importantly need to be more flexible, need to grow, need to be the change in order to enhance your relationships so that they can be all that they can be… and truly magnify your experience and the experiences of those around you?
Until next time…

As online marketing processes have evolved, the number and sophistication of software tools to support specific functions has exploded. Every discipline within marketing and PR has its own tools, among them:
Content development: CMS tools (WordPress, Joomla, HubSpot, 100s of others), Adobe CS, tools for creating infographics, etc.
SEO: backlink tools (Backlink Watch, SEOmoz, Majestic), keyword research tools, page optimization tools, SEO plugins.
Social media: social media monitoring (Radian6, Sysomos, SM2), social media management (HootSuite, SocialOomph, Buffer), Twitter tools, etc.
Web analytics: Omniture, WebTrends, Google Analytics, Clicky, and more.
All are very helpful, even essential, but most are designed for practitioners, that is: they help a specialist in a particular discipline do his or her job more effectively. Not only are they tactical, each focuses on supporting one functional silo or another. Not surprising, since this is how digital marketing is managed today—as a set of largely disconnected specialties. So much so, companies utilize different tools, resources, and in some cases, even different agencies to manage web visibility for brand, SEO, social media, PR, and paid advertising.
And of course, search has evolved—it's no longer just 10 blue links. Today, web presence goes way beyond a company's website. News and social links are as vital as are other points of visibility. What's missing is the larger strategic picture needed for top-level decision-making and for managing digital marketing and PR in a coordinated manner. We're all missing this because there aren't tools to help us do it. Or are there?
A "Eureka" Moment
A couple of weeks ago, we blogged about the web presence optimization (WPO) framework. This model (evolved from a 2010 post) came about from KC Associates' (KCA) client consulting projects. Operating as a cross-functional team, each consultant knew that a framework for optimization is useless unless there's a way to track and measure gaiting factors that can be adjusted in order to move the optimization needle. So the group took a long, hard look at the tactical tools each consultant uses with a more creative mind of how they might be repurposed for WPO.
For example, SEO backlink tools can provide detailed lists of the precise backlinks to a competitor's website. This can be quite valuable to an SEO consultant, but it's mind-numbing overkill for a VP of marketing.
However, a graphical comparison of the type and quantity of backlinks pointing to the firm's website and the sites of close competitors may be very enlightening (e.g., discovering that competitor A has twice as many media links and three times as many social links pointing to them)—particularly if these measures have changed significantly in a short period of time.
This simple change in thinking was truly eye-opening.
Necessity is the Mother of Invention
First and foremost, the WPO framework provides the strategic and structural approach to the unified management of web visibility. And WPO metrics that support this framework provide the critical measurement necessary to enable the overall coordination of these disciplines to improve presence optimization and performance.
The set of 100+ WPO metrics that the group developed for KCA clients is driven by data collected by a host of off-the-shelf tools as well as some custom developed sources. As a collection, the attributes of these metrics differ from what most other tracking and measurement tools are set up to provide in six distinct ways:
- • Focus on management, not execution. WPO metrics are designed to support management decision-making (e.g., where should we devote more resources) rather than tweaks to specific tactics. Put another way, they are about the "what" rather than the "how."
- • Provide a unified view of results. They provide leaders and team members with an overall picture of press (media outlets), social, website (organic search), industry (e.g. associations, research organizations) and paid web presence. The tactical tools available tend to focus on one or two of these areas.
- • Include competitor metrics. An organization's digital marketing results don't exist in a vacuum; it's critical to be able to view results in the context of competitive activities. Competitive benchmarking is vital to developing strategy and allocating resources.
- • Reflect the value of owned, earned and paid presence, not just the company website. What customers, analysts, journalists, bloggers, and others have to say about you is sometimes more important than your own content. WPO metrics show the value of all of your points of web presence, whether it's your content or something produced by a third party.
- • Are actionable and NOT "everything but kitchen sink." Too many tools try to report every possible detail, rather than just what's important. The result is data overload and analysis paralysis. It's confusing and too much to absorb, and therefore doesn't get acted upon. Best-practice WPO metrics focus only on measures that support concrete action.
- • Identify clear priorities. While WPO metrics cover a lot of ground, not every measure matters all the time. For example, if your media share-of-voice remains about the same from one month to the next, but your AdWords conversion rate drops by half, WPO metrics focus on the latter result.
WPO metrics won't replace tactical, execution-level tools, but they will help guide decisions about which functional tools to use and how to coordinate the tasks of different disciplines for a larger purpose. They fill a critical gap by giving marketing executives, and everyone on digital marketing and PR teams, a unified view of web presence that reflects a more integrated optimization effort.
Review: Six Small Business CMS and Web Marketing SystemsMonday, August 29th, 2011
What's the best web content management system (CMS) for your small business? Should you look at something beyond a CMS—a web marketing system (WMS), that provides additional functions like customer relationship management (CRM) and email? There's no shortage of options, and the decision is an important one: you'll be "married" to the platform you choose for as long as your current site is up.
Content management systems are valuable tools for small businesses that 1) don't want to make a big investment in IT infrastructure, 2) don't have web development (HTML, CSS etc.) expertise on staff, and 3) want to be able to maintain their own web content (adding new pages, text and images) over time, without needing to learn web coding skills.
"Free" CMS options such as WordPress, Joomla and Drupal have an obvious appeal (price) to small businesses, but none are cost-free. All require some level of technical expertise, and Joomla and Drupal particularly have steep learning curves. Low-cost, fee-based tools are generally more user-friendly, provide more features, and most importantly come bundled with support. For businesses looking beyond "free" tools, here are six CMS and WMS options that can help you get more sales and marketing productivity out of your website, while being easy on your web content contributors.
Keep in mind that all of these tools impose some design limitations; if you need a truly custom look and feel like these sites, your only option is to hire a professional web design and development firm. But if you can live within a template (and most of these tools do offer a respectable array of options), you can save thousands of dollars on design and coding costs.
CMS Only
These platforms offer website building and content management tools with hosting, but no "extras." If you are just looking to get a site up on the web and already have systems in place for CRM and marketing automation, these tools are worthy of consideration.
Pricing: $150-$600 per year ($12-$50 per month)
Squarespace is a generally well-regarded tool with reasonable design functionality for building natively search-optimized websites and blogs. It offers a solid set of features including site search, multiple permission levels for different types of contributors, a form-builder, and built-in analytics. The learning curve is far less daunting than most free CMS alternatives, and a strength of the tool is its mobile support. For anyone looking for an inexpensive, easy-to-use, basic website building and management tool,
Squarespace is definitely worth consideration.
UPDATE: After closer examination, SquareSpace is not worthy of consideration, due to weaknesses in search engine optimization, specifically:
- • Custom meta title tags for high-level pages are limited to 50 characters (even the most conservative SEOs recommend 65 characters for the title tag).
- • Meta title tags inside a section (e.g., "blog") will always begin with the section name. You can customize the section name, but you can't override the fact the all-important first few characters of every page title in that section will contain it.
- • You can't create custom meta description tags (!) which are essential in "selling the click."
- • The people behind SquareSpace seem to lack understanding of how SEO works. True, manipulative tactics don't work, but solid, white hat SEO is essential to getting a website ranked highly. Their information is both inaccurate and offensive to legitimate SEO professionals.
$240-$1200/year ($20-$100 per month)
Like the other tools listed here, LightCMS is low-cost, easy to use, search-optimized and provides tools like a forms builder. What sets it apart is better design flexibility than most of the alternatives, calendar tools and built-in ecommerce functionality. For developers and agencies, LightCMS also offers one of the most attractive partner programs. Considering all of its features, LightCMS is another shortlist-worthy tool for basic website creation, particularly for smaller B2C companies who want an easy-to-manage online store.
$300 per year ($25 per month)
Another website building option that includes extras like ecommerce functionality with credit card processing, and nightly backups. The site is a bit cheesy, but the functionality of the tool is solid. Solution Toolbox provides their own comparison of their system to Squarespace and LightCMS, but take it with a grain of salt; it's biased in their favor of course and some of the specifics are out of date (for example, Squarespace now includes a forms-builder). Still, for smaller consumer marketers who want to run an online store in addition to their basic website, this is worth a look.
Web Marketing Platforms
These suites combine CMS functionality with additional web marketing applications to provide more than just a website, but a complete online marketing software system.
$480 per year ($40 per month)
Business Catalyst combines the features of the products above—a CMS, forms builder, and ecommerce tools—with email marketing functionality and a basic CRM system. It provides respectable design flexibility and support for mobile devices. Though the product had issues in its original incarnation, Adobe has fixed many of these issues since acquiring it in late 2009 and continues to invest in product development. The catch? Business Catalyst isn't sold directly to users, only through web developers and agencies (though there are ways around this).
$2,400/year ($200 per month)
Genoo is a solid, easy to use tool, very strong on email marketing / marketing automation. It offers some of the best built-in SEO tools of any of these packages. Genoo doesn't provide native CRM functionality, but does have a pre-built integration to Salesforce.com. This is ideal for midsized companies with at least moderately sophisticated internal marketing resources who are already using a separate CRM system and are ready to graduate from hosted email marketing services. Genoo's offering includes training on how to use its lead-nurturing capabilities.
$1,800/year ($150 per month)
This is a complete web marketing package for smaller, non-ecommerce businesses. It provides a robust CMS for a website and blog along with native CRM, email marketing, and forms-building tools, as well as comprehensive strategy guidance for making all of the pieces work together. The ePROneur package uniquely combines hosting, software, services and strategy to help companies with limited resources effectively generate leads and revenue online. The web marketing resources section of the company's website also offers a wealth of free strategic and tactical web marketing information.
Any of the alternatives above can help small to midsize companies cost-effectively build and manage their web presence with no IT infrastructure and limited technical expertise. The key from there is to choose a platform whose strengths match up with your business type and needs. And also to investigate multiple options to determine which tool, and company, you are most comfortable working with.

Should a Blog be Part of Your Corporate Website or Stand on Its Own?Monday, August 30th, 2010
Okay, so you understand the benefits of business blogs, and you're ready to make the commitment to developing and maintaining a blog for the long haul. The next question is: where should I put the blog?
There are five common options:
Free hosting on a blogging platform site. The URL would look something like mycompanyblog.wordpress.com or mycompanyblog.blogspot.com. This option should never be used for a corporate or business blog. Free blogging platforms are fine for hosting personal blogs where there is no justification for spending money and no expectation of generating any business leads, sales or income. For business however, such platforms are an unprofessional setting, offer limited functionality, and provide very little SEO benefit.
Hosting on a corporate website using the site's CMS tool. Many corporate websites are built on content management system (CMS) platforms such as Joomla, Drupal or DotNetNuke. These and several other open source and commercial CMS platforms offer built-in blog creation functionality. The advantages of this approach are:
- • All SEO authority (via inbound links) accrues to your corporate website, because the blog is just another section of the site. This is valuable because blog posts are often more effective "link bait" than typical website copy ("About Us," product/service descriptions, etc.).
- • Your internal (or agency) staff, who may at different times write content for both the company blog and corporate website, have only one content creation tool to learn.
- • The blog has the same "look and feel" as the rest of the site, supporting corporate branding.
- • Whether viewing the blog or regular product/service content, visitors never leave your site.
- • Most CMS plaforms will easily accommodate multiple-author corporate blogs. They can also support multiple blogs (e.g. a widget industry blog and a widget maintenance blog)—though the common look/feel and top-level domain name make it difficult to clearly separate these.
The primary disadvantages of the CMS approach are that the blog is very clearly "the corporate blog"—it has no independence or personality of its own—and that CMS tools often lack the rich functionality and plugins that blogging platforms such as WordPress offer (e.g. subscribe to posts by email, quick polls, automatic XML sitemap maintenance, etc.).
Hosting on an existing corporate site using WordPress. This option assumes that your corporate website is built in something other than WordPress (e.g. on an open source, commercial or proprietary web CMS platform), and that you'll be installing WordPress just to power the blog. This approach shares many of the advantages of using the underlying CMS to build the blog (SEO links, visitor are kept on the site, multi-author blogs are supported) and does away with some of the shortcomings: first, since the blog template is separate from the website template, it's easy to give the blog its own personality, consistent with but separate from the rest of the corporate site. Second, unlike most CMS platforms, WordPress has an active developer community contributing special-purpose plugins to continually expand and enhance its functionality.
However, this approach has its own drawbacks. For one, it requires installation and setup of the WordPress blogging and MySQL database management software–not a terribly difficult task, but not one for technophobic to be sure. Where this really becomes complicated is in a multi-blog scenario (again, such as separate industry news and technical / how-to blogs), since each blog requires its own WordPress and MySQL installation. For another, functions that are often provided seamlessly by a dedicated WordPress host (see the separate blog and website hosting option below), such as nightly database backups and WordPress version upgrades, have to configured separately for a self-hosted WordPress installation. In other words, you'll definitely need knowledgeable IT support for this option.
Hosting both a blog and website on WordPress. This is definitely an option to consider if you are just developing the website for a new organization or rebuilding the website for an existing enterprise. It offers all of the advantages of a WordPress blog while giving IT only a single platform to manage and users only a single CMS tool to learn. Though originally developed as a blogging platform, WordPress has evolved over the years into a respectably capable full CMS option for relatively small, simple websites–with or without a blog.
The downside is that WordPress isn't suitable for large, complex websites or those requiring customer web application functionality, at least not without some highly involved development effort. For midsize to large enterprise sites, or even smaller company sites requiring specialized functionality, it's often simpler to develop the non-blog portions of the website using another tool and treating the blog separately. Which brings us to the final option:
Separate blog and website hosting. With this alternative, a blog is treated completely separately from the main company website development platform, hosting arrangements and underlying technology. Regardless of how or where the main website is hosted, the blog is generally hosted with a dedicated WordPress host such as HostGator, Bluehost or JustHost. (Disclosure: I do use JustHost for my personal blog hosting, but I have absolutely no financial relationship with any of these companies.) The advantages of this approach are:
- • The blog can not only have its own "personality" separate from the corporate website, but even its own search-friendly domain name (e.g. widget-industry-news.com).
- • Related to the point above, your company can potentially get an extra spot on the first page of the search engines for specific core search terms. The search engines will generally display any specific website no more than twice (e.g. the home page and one interior page) on the first page of search results. Having a related blog with a separate top-level domain name gives you the opportunity to snare a third spot on the home page for certain search phrases very closely aligned with your business.
- • The blog can easily have its own look and feel, carrying over selected elements of corporate branding (e.g. colors, logo) without having exactly the same look and navigation structure.
- • There's no burden on the corporate IT group. Setup is easy and maintenance is usually handled automatically by the host for a nominal annual fee. This frees your IT group to focus on more important things, and it means you don't have to wait for or rely on IT to install new features, add authors, add new pages or perform pretty much any other function on the blog.
- • Authors can write blog posts, add comments, install or update plugins, and perform virtually any other function on the blog from any Internet connection. This may or not be true for your corporate website, depending on the platform used and security settings. In large companies (and many midsized organizations as well), a VPN connection or other software is often needed for corporate site editing access.
- • Separate hosting supports both a single blog with multiple authors and multi-blog scenarios. Managing multiple external blogs will increase costs (though many hosts offer discounts for multi-site hosting packages) but also provide more opportunity for search presence (e.g. in addition to your corporate site, you may own blogs like widget-industry-news.com, widget-maintenance-tips.com, etc.).
- • You'll incur extra hosting and domain name registration fees, generally running $80-120 per year per blog. That's not a huge outlay, but something to consider.
- • Your SEO authority will be split, with one set of links pointing to your corporate website and a different set pointing to your blog.
In the final analysis, there is no single perfect answer for all organizations to the question posed in the title of this post. There are benefits and drawbacks to each approach. The best advice is: consider the specifics of your situation and relative advantages and disadvantages of each approach before deciding on the optimal hosting arrangement for your blog.

Some Dothan police officers are trading in their car keys for two wheels with no keys.
Eight Dothan police officers are participating in a new program called Cops on Bikes.
Instead of wearing the traditional black uniforms and driving around in a police cruiser, police officers will be wearing a gray polo shirt and shorts while patrolling on a mountain bike.
The bikes allow officers to visit areas that are too confined for a police vehicle to reach while providing the opportunity for positive interaction with the public.
Both officers and people in the community believe the program is helping to break down the barriers of misunderstanding encountered on both sides.
The Dothan Police Department began the Cops on Bikes program about two months ago.

Breaking News: Steven Stamkos to Miss Olympics
The Tampa Bay Lightning just announced that Steven Stamkos will not participate in the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.
Erik Erlendsson of Tampa Tribune: Stamkos removed himself.
"Today is obviously very disappointing for me," Stamkos said in a statement. "I honestly believe that we did everything possible in order to have my injured leg ready in time for the Olympics, but I realize you can't force healing.
"I know, in the best interest of my long term health, I cannot represent Canada in Sochi, as much as I would like to. I would like to thank the training staff for their dedication and hard work and I look forward to returning to the Lightning once cleared by the medical team."
Steve Yzerman's statement.
"After reviewing the CT scan this afternoon, Dr. (Ira) Gutentag made it clear to me and to Steven that the tibia is not completely healed and therefore he should not be participating in game action at any time in the near future," Yzerman said in a statement.
"Although the doctor was very pleased to this point with the healing process, he explained that the callus surrounding the fracture site is not 100 percent consolidated, and Steven will not be cleared to play in a game until that happens. It was a pretty clear cut decision, no gray areas at all."

COVINGTON, La. (AP) - Engineers will not use booms made out of hair to soak up the growing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Barbers have collected hair in hopes that it could contain the ooze as it invades deeper into coastal marshland. But crews said Saturday they concluded using the hair was not feasible, and the organizations collecting the hair were asked to stop doing so.
Engineers said a test conducted in February during an oil spill
in Texas showed that commercial boom absorbed more oil and less
water than hair boom.
Charlie Henry of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration said booms made from hair became water-logged and
sank within a short period of time.

These designs
were prepared for press runs for books with a distribution market
of less than 1,000 copies to works printed for the masses. Titles
and subjects of these book covers range from the familiar to the
more obscure, like Charles M. Shultz's "Peanuts" printed
in Japan to a copy of contemporary American photographs.
AIGA has held
a design competition for excellence in book design and production
since 1922. Michael Bierut (Pentagram Design, New York) chaired
a jury to select this group of entries as outstanding examples of
design communications produced in 2000. The exhibition has traveled
throughout the United States and has been documented recently in
"365: AIGA Year in Design," the organization's newly reconceived
annual design compendium.
Richard Grefé,
AIGA executive director, said the AIGA exhibition is their most
popular exhibition. "We can only surmise that its popularity
results from the respect designers have for those who advance the
disciplined dimensions that designing books demands," Grefé
Locally, John
House, a professor of art at Southern Miss, sees this exhibition
as a "great opportunity for our students to see a wide range
of design applications."
"We are
fortunate to have such a relevant and current body of works at the
university," House said. "Anyone interested in design
could benefit from seeing these works that are on the cutting edge
of the profession."
The exhibition
will be on view through Nov. 7 at The University of Southern Mississippi
Museum of Art, located in the Fine Arts Building at the southwest
corner of the Hattiesburg campus. Admission is free. The hours are
from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday.

CENTERVILLE — After eluding authorities for more than a year, a 26-year-old Mashpee man was arrested late Friday following a 2½-hour chase, police said.
John Lopes was wanted on six arrest warrants from Barnstable Superior Court and Falmouth District Court on charges including cocaine trafficking, possession of a firearm without an identification card, and assault and battery on a police officer.
At about 7:30 p.m. Friday, members of the Barnstable Street Crime Unit responded to Center Street after a GMC Yukon sport utility vehicle was seen leaving a residence with a man believed to be Lopes sitting in the passenger seat.
When police illuminated their cruiser lights, the car slowed but did not come to a full stop. Lopes then fled the SUV and ran through backyards in a neighborhood off Phinney's Lane, police said.
In an attempt to box-in Lopes, K-9 units from the Barnstable and Yarmouth police departments, along with the state police, responded to the neighborhood. Officers searched an occupied residence and vacant house to no avail, struggling to find Lopes outside in the dark and with snow on the ground, police said.
But after 2½ hours, Yarmouth officers found the man who had been hiding since October 2012, never staying in the same place for long, Barnstable police said.
Lopes was arrested after police saw him hiding in shrubs outside a Center Road home.
A glass jar with 2 ounces of marijuana was discovered in the SUV he fled, and Lopes was carrying $1,500 in cash at the time of his arrest, police said.
Lopes was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, along with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, police said. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday in Barnstable District Court.
