The Week in Social Analytics #109
Since tomorrow is Independence Day here in America we thought we'd put out This Week in Social Analytics a day early. Here are our favorite posts of the past week in the world of measurement, analytics, and social media. See a great piece we missed? Let us know in the comments, or tell us about it on Twitter or Facebook.
Finally, Most Brands Measuring Social Content Effectiveness [from eMarketer; written by staff]
While the metrics being used are fairly simplistic, it's a good start.
How Psychology Will Shape the Future of Social Media Marketing [from The Huffington Post; written by Jayson DeMers]
"Technology will never replace the human ability to extract meaningful data from volumes of information."
More Evidence that Visuals Far Outpace Text [from Geoff Livingston]
"Digiday surveyed attendees of its Agency Innovation Camp about how visual native ads stack up against text based native ads (hat tip: Richard Binhammer). More often than not, attendees favored visuals by 75 percent or more."
While that might be a very specific audience with very specific opinions about visuals, it's hard to ignore the overwhelming evidence that humans are visual creatures.
The Conundrum of Ethics and Data Collecting [from Eli Rose Social Media; written by Sunny Serres]
"We need these companies to be more socially responsible because we are entrusting them with our information. In order for us to remove ourselves from these types of data collections, we have to opt out of all of the conveniences that we rely so heavily upon to function within society. . . This just isn't plausible in today's society – our reliance on technology has grown so rapidly that opting out of many of these things simply puts those individuals "behind." It is a vicious cycle, but if companies can perform with more integrity and think about their customers first and foremost rather than profitability or academic accolades, then maybe the question of ethics will become moot."
3 Steps to Demystifying Social Media Personalities [from Social Media Today; written by Ida Cheinman]
1. Treat Every Tool as a Touchpoint
2. Metaphor the Medium
3. Secure Success Through Story
So How Many Millennials Are There in the US, Anyway? | Updated [from Marketing Charts; written by staff]
"Before putting out some numbers, there are a few problems to take note of. Chiefly, there is no consensus definition of a Millennial.
Nevertheless, things being the way they are, marketers and researchers often look at age groups. So here's a reference list of some commonly used age brackets and their corresponding population estimates and population shares as of July 1st, 2013.
- 12-17: 25 million (7.9%)
- 18-24: 31.5 million (10%)
- 25-34: 42.8 million (13.6%)
- 35-44: 40.5 million (12.8%)
- 45-54: 43.8 million (13.8%)
- 55-64: 39.3 million (12.4%)
- 65+: 44.7 million (14.1%)"

5 Principles for Creating a Social Media Following That Sticks [from Social Media Today; written by Will Blunt]
"TIP: Your customers care more about themselves than they do you. Ask them questions about what THEY want. Don't fall into the trap of TELLING them what they want."
6 Ways To Engage And Maintain A Loyal Twitter Following [from All Twitter; written by Shea Bennett]
Based on a video released by Twitter for Small Business.
Why Brands Should Use GIFs [from Likeable Media; written by Angela Kuo]
GIFs are the language of the Internet, after all.
4 Ways To Expand Your Content Marketing With Social Content [from Heidi Cohen]
"Social content is about how the content is created, not shared or distributed!"
How to make sexy Twitter charts for your CEO
We've all been there. Your company or client has just completed a product launch. There seemed to be a lot of people talking about it on Twitter, so back slaps and fist bumps abound. And then the inevitable happens: your boss wants to see Twitter metrics and results – with charts – on the success of the program by the end of the day. Gulp.
It's typically been a challenge to say exactly what kind of influence or reach your campaign generated on Twitter. So what do you do? At some places, it sets off a three-alarm fire drill as the team scrambles to gather results from a variety of sources that are tossed into a weak-looking PowerPoint slide or two.
Sound familiar? It happens at agencies and companies big and small, all across the country. But it doesn't have to be this way.
A number of agencies find the TweetReach Tracker to be a helpful resource. This subscription service gives anyone the ability to track keywords, phrases, hashtags and URLs across Twitter, in real-time, during a campaign, product launch or designated period of time.
And the best part might be the sweet-looking charts and graphs that show reach, engagement, contributors and activity, along with key influencers who have used your keywords and phrases. Some of those charts are pictured here.
It's easy to track pre-, during- and post-campaign Twitter volume so you can provide context and rationale behind key social media activities. Now your boss or client can see real results. With no last-minute scrambling.

Alia's first Tamil film to star DhanushComment on this story
It was earlier reported that Alia Bhatt would be making her first appearance in a Tamil film – KV Anand's next movie, Anegan, starring Dhanush.
But now it seems it will be in Vetrimaran's forthcoming film, which features the Kolaveri di' hitmaker in the lead role.
The buzz in the industry is that Bhatt has been roped in to play the female lead.
She was impressed by the storyline and happy to make her regional debut in the award-winning director's film. It had been said that Ashria Shetty had been chosen for the female lead.
There were also reports that Ramya, aka Divya Spandana, would be pairing up with Dhanush.
But the latest development has put an end to the speculation.
The forthcoming movie is a reunion for Dhanush and Vetrimaran.
Their earlier combo flick Aadukalam won several awards. – Oneindia.in

About Aerus
Aerus L.L.C. is a manufacturer and distributor of healthy home products in over 500 locations in North America. As a longtime member of the Direct Selling Association, we deliver the finest wellness and cleaning products through franchise-based businesses. From state-of-the-art floor care systems, to air and water purification systems, Aerus creates clean, safe and healthy indoor environments for over 50 million businesses and homes in the U.S. and Canada.
Our History
Originally established in 1924 as Electrolux, we began our journey into Healthy Home products with the first tank vacuum model, introduced by Gustaf Sahlin. This tank (also known as canister) design became an overnight sensation and remains a standard of excellence for floor care products.
After opening a manufacturing facility in Greenwich, Connecticut, production on the popular Electrolux vacuum cleaner, Model XXX, began in 1937. As carpeting became more prevalent in buildings during the 1950's, Electrolux introduced the first commercial duty carpet shampooer to the market. After selling nearly 14 million units, Model XXX was retired in 1954 and later recognized by the Smithsonian Institute as one of the top 100 U.S. products.
Over the next several decades, our floor care technology continued to evolve and product offerings expanded. In 1970, a second manufacturing facility opened its doors in Bristol, Virginia to produce several different models of vacuum cleaners and carpet shampooers.
In 2000, we transitioned from our floor care roots with Electrolux to offer a full line of innovative Healthy Home products (including air and water purification systems) as Aerus L.L.C. Named after the Greek term for "air," the purpose of Aerus is to help others live well by producing clean, pure air and creating healthier indoor environments. For over 90 years, Aerus products have been eliminating dust, mold spores, pollen and pet dander in millions of North American homes and businesses.
As America's Healthy Home Experts, we continue to work hard to deliver the tools you need to keep your family healthy and happy. Over 99% of our customers have expressed their satisfaction through repeat business and referrals to family and friends - helping us to become one of the most trusted names in North America.

"Tyler really goes the extra mile"
Tyler Fridley is a terrific salesperson and it was a pleasure
working with her. Tyler worked really hard to answer every question I
had and to find me a vehicle that I loved. I love the Scion XD I
purchased and when I accidentally traded in my vehicle with the parking
permit I needed for my building, Tyler worked hard to track it down for
me. Tyler really goes the extra mile for her clients. When I noticed
that the license plate on my new Scion XD was rattling because their is
no place to screw in the bottom half of the license plate, Tyler and the
general manager came out and invented a solution to fix the problem. As
I said, Tyler really goes the extra mile for her clients.

"Vaughn Sample was wonderful"
Vaughn Sample was wonderful and being a business owner with very
little time, he made my car-buying experience very simple and fast.
There was no BS and the experience from Vaughn, up to the finance
manager was no less than perfect. I'll definitely purchase from him in
the future.

"Derek Roberts provided me with fine memories"
Motorcars Toyota provided me, a first time car
buyer, an experience that transcended all the stereotypes I expected and
feared. Not only did they sell me a lovely and stable 2007 Camry, but
working with Derek Roberts provided me with fine memories of this
initial excursion into auto purchasing. Motorcars was dignified,
seemingly having integrity, welcoming, and (dare I say it) fun! My
questions and concerns were addressed, I was provided with options for
my comfort level, and Derek gave me stickers. I feel I bought a decent
car from good people at a fair price. The good timing feelings and fond
memories game standard.

"The Service Department at Motorcars has been fantastic"
My experiences with the Service Department at Motorcars has been
fantastic. I have been taking our 2006 Toyota Highlander to Motorcars
for the past two years. Jon and Kevin were helpful in explaining all of
the details of each procedure, educating me on important information,
and constantly informing me in a timely manner on the progress of my
car. I would recommend the Service Department at Motorcars to all of my
friends and family.

I am onboard with everyone else that this is the best drugstore eyeliner. Definitely a Holy Grail. I have it in 262 Blackest Black and 264 Earl Grey. I find them to last extremely long on my lashlines both upper and lower as well as on the lids. Not so much on the waterline but I just reapply when needed. I love these and find I reach for either one of them almost daily. I highly recommend.

I just tried this Rimmel eye pencil in #263 Starlit Black. I had a coupon but also wanted to try a sparkly black liner. I've only used it a few times but I like it. It glides on really well. It almost looks gunmetal gray in certain lights. So I wouldn't say it's the blackest black ever. I had no fallout of the glitter & found the smudger soft & comfy on my eyes. My problem w/the smudger is it almost erases the line instead of just softening it. I thought the tip started decently sharp but flattens out easily. I didn't dare sharpen it w/its included sharpener b/c it's really soft & I didn't want to waste product. I found success w/a folded paper towel for sharpening. I didn't care about its Waterproof claim. I don't wear Waterproof mascaras, either. It claimed to last 10 Hours. That's true b/c I wore it yesterday from 9:30a.m. til 10:30p.m. & found No smudging, flaking, or fading. This was over a shadow primer & powder shadow, so Idk how long it'd last w/just shadow or skin. I've always found automatic liners tricky to apply on lower lashline, so I haven't tried it there yet. I prefer a really sharp wooden pencil for use in that region & just feathered on color. Since it said Waterproof I was concerned about removal but I used my Clean & Clear Night Relaxing wipes & it disappeared w/out a fight. It was only $4 w/the coupon & $5 w/out one, so it was a good deal. I'd definitely repurchase it whenever it's gone b/c I have no color like it & it's fun to use.

So this product is great for filling in your eyebrows. I bought the color rich brown and used it to fill in my black/brown eyebrows when they were over plucked. I only use this for filling in eyebrows and as a bottom waterline eyeliner and it works great for both!

If I could give no lippies, I would. I bought this months ago in Emerald Sparkle (a glittery teal) and forgot I had it. I tried applying it--tried being the key word--it wouldn't work! Even with slight pressure, the eyeliner wouldn't transfer. I tried applying some heat to make it soft, still no luck. Since my receipt for it is long gone and I can't return it, it ended up in the trash.

My HG drugstore eyeliner. The only one I've found that will stay all day when I tight line with it. Can smudge once applied but it will set and not move. Not great in my waterline, but I've never found any liner that stays all day.

Goes on well with ease and stays on, with little smudging. Inepensive. My HG of drugstore eyeliner.

Got this as a temporary replacement for my fav dark brown waterproof liner- buxom hold the line- which I misplaced and hopefully will turn up soon. Since this rimmel one had such good reviews here I thought for sure it would be fine. I thought wrong😡-this is prob the worst drugstore one I could have gotten- it was not long lasting or waterproof- came right off the waterline, it was too soft and clumped, smeared and flaked off when I was trying to tight line with it. Really disagree with the mass consensus on this one. Prob will return and try a ds one that got bad reviews, lol.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium

I read a lot of really good reviews for this eyeliner and decided to give it a try. I was hoping to find a waterproof eyeliner that was good enough to stay on during the summer heat. Unfortunately, this eyeliner didn't work for me. I like the way it applies. It goes on smoothly and the sharpener that comes with it is really handy and works well. However, after just an hour or two I noticed it was smudging all over the place. I thought maybe my lids were just too oily, so the next day I tried using a primer. The same thing happened so I'll be returning this product. My search for a HG waterproof eyeliner goes on.

I read the best eyeliner list recommended by Paula and decided to give this eyeliner a try and it didn't disappoint me at all!!!! Given its low price, this eyeliner can beat some of those I tried that cost around $20. The touch feels really soft and smooth, and the color is full and easy to be applied. However, it is not that waterproof and may not be able to last for a long time as I did try to put some water on my lids to see if it lasts and unfortunately it starts to fade. But still would repurchase it!

You may know blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd for his songs "Deja Voodoo" or "Blue on Black."
You may not know he's interested in orange -- specifically, the orange of the General Lee, the car made famous in the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Shepherd, who performs Saturday at the Prairie Capital Convention Center with Robert Cray, is also a car buff. He likes to restore and customize classic cars. Yes, he gets his hands dirty and does as much of the work himself that he can.
"It's like making a record. You start with demos and songs and you've written and try to create and build on that in the studio. It's the same thing with a car. You take the car, strip it down to bare metal, and I start designing what I want it to look like," Shepherd said during a telephone interview with The State Journal-Register.
One of his accomplishments is taking a Dodge Charger, like the one used for the General Lee, and doing what Shepherd called a "modern day interpretation" of it. "That car put me on the map of the car world."
Shepherd said he also got to meet actors John Schneider, who played Bo Duke, and Catherine Bach, who played Daisy Duke, on the 1970s-80s TV series. Those aren't bad little perks of being a music star with an interesting hobby on the side.
Shepherd performs Saturday at the Prairie Capital Convention Center. Read more about the concert, and about Shepherd's music career, here.

Connor Polacek thought he was watching something on an Xbox, not an actual baseball game.
Connor Polacek thought he was watching something on an Xbox, not an actual baseball game.
The Truman senior was describing Lee's Summit senior Jordan Knutson's curveball – a pitch the 6-foot-1 left-hander located with pinpoint accuracy throughout Friday's game at Truman High School. Polacek was one of the few Patriots to achieve some degree of success against the Missouri State signee, going 1-for-3 without a strikeout.
Knutson overpowered just about everyone else, striking out 18 in a 6-1 victory.
"He was just hitting his spots and his curveball was just deadly," Polacek said. "It's like watching a video game out there. He was just dealing."
Even Truman coach John Eglich had to go against his coaching instinct by conceding that there really wasn't a whole lot he or his team could do to alter the contest's outcome. Not when Knutson was firing a high-80s fastball, a knee-buckling curve and even mixing in another offspeed pitch in the later innings.
"Some of our guys, this is the first time they're seeing D-I pitching at this level, and let's face it, they were a little overmatched today," Eglich said. "Hopefully by the end of the year, we're putting those balls in play and getting base hits. But for today, it looked like some overmatched at-bats."
Although the Pats (2-4) fell behind 1-0 in the top of the first, they knotted the score in their first turn at the plate as Polacek stroked a single and J.T. Hayes whacked a run-scoring double off a rare fastball Knutson left up in the strike zone.
Unfortunately for Truman, the ball only left the infield one more time the rest of the way.
"Hats off to him," said Hayes, who struck out looking in his final two trips to the plate. "Hats off. I know him, he's one of the best pitchers in the area."
The Tigers (2-3) reclaimed the lead in the second with Drew Blair's RBI single off Justin Madsen and added three more runs in the fourth – two of which scored when center fielder Chase Lafavor just missed a diving stab of Travis Simonin's deep drive.
Lee's Summit added a final score in the sixth off a double by Austin Buhr and the Pats failed to ever put more than one runner on base in any inning past the first.
"I don't even know how competitive some of those at-bats were, to be honest," Eglich said. "It was a great performance. I didn't think we played awful, but when you don't give yourself chances to score, you're going to end up with that result."
The defeat concluded a brutal four-game week for the Pats in which they lost three games in three days after topping Ruskin 14-3 on Tuesday. Although their 2-4 record seems pedestrian, Eglich said its easy to see their fortunes quickly reversing. On Wednesday, Truman dropped a 12-0 decision to Lee's Summit West, a team ranked sixth in Class 5, and suffered a heartbreaking 10-8 loss to Park Hill South Thursday after giving up seven two-out runs in a disastrous third inning.
Page 2 of 2 - Next week's slate doesn't get any easier with five games on the docket. Although for a team still working off some offseason rust, that's not necessarily a negative, Hayes said.
"Every day you get to play baseball's a good day," Hayes said. "So you've just got to make the most of it."

Easter Baking Idea
I saw this via Tastespotting and thought I'd share it here.
Nicole over at Baking Bites has come up with a recipe for Cadbury Creme Egg Muffins. From reading the recipe, I just can't decide if they would be tasty or not.
However, I do love her idea of Easter Egg Challah. So pretty!
That Challah looks gorgeous! I'm tempted to try it.
I think the picture's what makes the creme egg muffin look so weird. The center just does not look appetizing at all from that picture — probably cause of the yellow dye in the sugar getting melted and mixed around. I bet it tastes okay though — just like it had chocolate and sugar frosting in the middle instead of on top.

Notes on setting 1680×1050 resolution on a Snow Leopard inside a VirtualBox
Recently, new versions of VirtualBox have make it easy to install a MacOsX Snow Leopard guest operating system. There are good references on this process in Tek411 and LifeHacker.
These references, explain how to increase screen resolution after installation. These instructions work for default modes exposed by VirtualBox. But, if you want something different, an extra step is needed.
For instance, if you want to set screen resolution to 1680×1050 you should do the following:
Firstly, tell VirtualBox to expose this resolution in this particular virtual machine (called, for instance "osx") by running this command from a terminal in your host system:
VBoxManage setextradata "osx" "CustomVideoMode1" "1680x1050x32"
Then, just tell MacOsX to use this particular video mode by editing
com.Apple.Boot.plist, as explained in any of the two references linked above.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—A scheduling snafu had Martin Truex Jr. planning to be on his annual family vacation at the same time Furniture Row Racing expected him to participate in NASCAR's annual media tour.
Truex solved the problem Tuesday by using Skype to participate in his new team's news conference.
It made for one of the more entertaining moments in the 32 years of Charlotte Motor Speedway's tour as a grinning Truex answered questions from a postcard-like scene in Anguilla. Everyone else was hunkered down in the Charlotte Convention Center awaiting a rare Southern snowstorm.
He told his viewers: "It's not snowing and I'm pretty damn happy." Almost on cue, someone's arm appeared in the corner of the screen and handed Truex a tropical drink.

Geocaching Caption Contest
This is the tenth installment of our Geocaching Caption Contest. This picture was posted to Geocaching.com's Facebook page by a German geocacher. It was too good not to share here on the Latitude 47 blog.
What caption would you write? "Additional logging requirements (always optional), Sing Soprano." You can do better.
Barely coveted prize
The winner receives this barely coveted prize. The patch celebrates 10 years of geocaching. As a bonus, I can vouch that the patch comes directly from the office of Groundspeak Co-Founder and Vice President Bryan Roth.
Good luck! Please include your geocaching username in all entries.
The winner of Geocaching Caption Contest 10 will be chosen by an ad hoc committee of Lackeys.
15 Lackeys voted to award the winner of the ninth Geocaching Caption Contest a barely coveted prize. Take a look at the Latitude 47 blog post to see who won. Explore the wit and wisdom of geocachers by checking out all the Geocaching Caption Contests.

Does this branch make my my butt look big?
Up a tree without a pen.
The GPS says says I'm right on top of it!

Sure, I had to climb a tree, and yes I had branches stuck in places tree branches should never see….but all that matters is I found the cache!!
The pain was made worse when a voice from below shouted, "Found it!"

In hindsight maybe a difficulty level 1 terrian level 1 geocache should not be this hard to find. (stevenwdm)
Now you tell me that GPS receivers may not be accurate in a forest. (stevenwdm)
I think I just figured out why they call this a terrain 2….
I guess I should have performed maintenance sooner..it was just a sapling when I placed this cache.
I'm getting to old for this S!%T (Rip)
Did the hint say "in the crotch of the tree" or "in the tree in your crotch"?
No, It's not up there!
I think you're barking up the wrong tree. My GPS still shows 20 feet.
Honey where did you say 0 0 was?(quantum hunters)
it's been squirelled dam it! they are as bad as muggels opening these caches
"Sweetie, did you know there was a 'cup required' under attributes?"

This was a 2/1?
Okay, the cache page lists this one as a difficulty 2, terrain tree!

Virgin, Universal partner on unlimited music
updated 03:40 pm EDT, Mon June 15, 2009
Virgin, Universal team up
In an industry-first, Britain's cable TV, wireless and Internet provider Virgin Media will soon unveil an unlimited MP3 music download subscription service together with Universal Music, says a Monday report. Sources indicate the monthly fees for the service would range from the equivalent of about $16 to $25 and would allow subscribers to stream music like Internet radio or download tracks and albums from any Universal artist. The downloads would come in a DRM-free MP3 format, allowing users to burn discs or transfer them to most any portable music player.
The service is meant to help reduce online piracy, and Virgin in exchange for the deal says it will educate users on piracy and suspend Internet access for persistent offenders, though it will never permanently disconnect users. Exactly how it would police or supervise pirates has not been revealed, however. It is most likely that the Internet service provider will monitor if users share their downloaded files.
No set release date has been released, but the service will launch this year. By that date, Virgin said it hopes to partner with other major and independent music labels to offer a wider range of choices.

Journalism Union Helped Push Nuclear Option, HuffPo Admits
By Mike Ciandella, newsbusters.org
The Communications Workers of America, which includes a prominent journalism union, is taking credit for Sen. Harry Reid's use of the nuclear option. That option is a Senate rule which prevents the GOP from blocking presidential nominees. CWA president Larry Cohen said that his group was "all over this " and that "[t]his is finally a significant step," according to The Huffington Post. CWA even issued a press release commending Reid.

I'd like to know that if using JAVA APIs or specialized toolkits if iam sending a signed mail to an end user,whose mailserver doesnot support S/MIME,What would happen

Servers traditionally aren't supposed to look inside the content of a message (well nowadays they do often filter for viruses).
The S/MIME stuff only is in the headers and body of the message, not in the envelope. It's for use by the client MUA run by the recipient user, not by their server. So unless a filtering server thinks it's a virus or something, it should just get delivered to the recipient's mailbox, just like any other message.

|Continuous chest compressions improve survival and neurologic outcome in a swine model of prolonged ventricular fibrillation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22205006 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|INTRODUCTION: Evidence suggests that any interruptions, including those of rescue breaths, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have significant, detrimental effects on survival. The 2010 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation guidelines strongly emphasized on the importance of minimizing interruptions during chest compressions. However, those guidelines also stress the need for ventilations in the case of prolonged cardiac arrest (CA), and it is not at present clear at which point of CA the necessity of providing ventilations overcomes the hemodynamic compromise caused by chest compressions' interruption. METHODS: Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced in 20 piglets (19 ± 2 kg) and left untreated for 8 minutes. Animals were randomized to receive 2 minutes of either chest compression-only CPR (group CC) or standard 30:2 compressions/ventilations CPR (group S) before defibrillation. Resuscitated animals were monitored under anesthesia for 4 hours and then were awakened and placed in a maintenance facility for 24 hours. RESULTS: There was no significant difference among groups for both return of spontaneous circulation and 1-hour survival. There was a significant difference in 24-hour survival (group CC, 7/10 vs group S, 2/10; P = .025). Blood lactate levels were significantly lower in group CC compared with group S in both 1 (P = .019) and 4 hours (P = .034) after return of spontaneous circulation. Furthermore, group CC animals exhibited significantly higher mean Neurologic Alertness Score (58 ± 42.4 vs 8 ± 16.9) (P < .05). CONCLUSION: In this swine CA model, where defibrillation was first attempted at 10 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation, uninterrupted chest compressions resulted in significantly higher survival rates and higher 24-hour neurologic scores, compared with standard 30:2 CPR.

BOULDER — Authorities have released the name of a man whose body was found in an open space area in Broomfield.
The Boulder Daily Camera reported (http://bit.ly/1afWXGh ) the Adams County Coroners Office identified the man as 33-year-old Kenneth Barnes, whose body was found behind a Walmart on Wednesday morning.
Police have not said if they consider the case suspicious, and it could be 10 to 12 weeks before an official cause of death is released.

If you remember, several conservative twitter accounts were suspended due to the actions of liberal groups, including Chris Loech's, who got suspended after a group of liberals attacked him after he defended his wife. This happened a couple of weeks ago, with no mention of it happening again.
Then I was made aware that this craziness is still going on.
Paul Ferguson ( @FngConservative ) contacted me through my website, informing me that his account had been suspended for no reason. He retweets things from Rush Limbaugh and many other outlets. Paul was most recently posting things having to do with Brett Kimberlin. Right after retweeting a tweet from Michelle Malkin where she discusses the Aaron Worthing/Brett Kimberlin fiasco, his account was suspended. Currently he is contacting Twitter to see what is going on.
Also right before his suspension he was conversing with two liberals on twitter. The accounts are @Prisonculture and @cutat126. He didn't sense animosity coming from the two and found it harmless.
He has recently been garnering attention and getting followed by the New York Post, Newark Mayor Corey Booker and many others.
Paul is just one out of a potentially large pool of conservatives that are getting taken out by leftist accounts whose soul purpose is to silence the voices of conservatives. They are going after the small voices like Paul.
And you or I could be next. We must stand together and keep an eye on each other. We cannot let our voices be silenced. We must stick together. The liberals think that by silencing one conservative voice, that they can take the rest of us out. But they are wrong. They fail to realize how powerful of a group we really are.
So send tweets to Twitter and make sure they know what is going on, and that people are abusing the system. We cannot, and will not, let them get away with silencing free speech.

Emanuel was having some latency issues this week, so in a few isolated areas the sound quality degrades, or the pitch changes - It goes away quickly for the most part though.

We've launched into the "giving phase" of The LifeChange Project - and this week we were able to approve disbursement of our first gift to support the "Galilee Home" orphanage ...
Errors have been highlighted below
In order for us to be the church that God is asking Sonrise to be, LifeChange must be the goal. Jesus said it himself when he was asked about his own mission on earth. "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest." John 10:10. You are reading this and you are a part of Sonrise because on some level your life has been changed, somehow. It was small at first. Someone invited you to church, shared the gospel with you, or simply extended a hand to you during a rough time. But then something happened. You grew closer to God, you heard his word, you leaned into him... and you changed. That's what we want for our friends, neighbors, future campuses and future generations. We want to see lives changed for Christ by Christ. We want to be a part of changing the world one life at a time.
We believe The LifeChange Project will position us to see more LifeChange take place. It's going to take all of us working together, seeking God and making some radical and sacrificial commitments to the mission. But if we will all join in...we will see lives changed. Will you consider being a part of it?
For months I have been praying that God would allow me to be part of this next step in fulfilling the dream we've had from the very first day we started this church 25 years ago! By God's grace we are going to be able to make a HUGE impact on our world and position our church for the future through The LifeChange Project.
Kathy and I are honored to be a part of helping Sonrise fulfill this vision to leverage our resources, invest locally and globally, and free up dollars by eliminating debt! We are in! We are giving the biggest gift of our lives. I want to invite you to join us.
Together…we will change the world!

United States Census, Mortality Schedules, 1850 (FamilySearch Historical Records)Edit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: United States Census (Mortality Schedule), 1850 .
Record Description
The collection consists of an index and images of mortality schedules listing inhabitants of the United States who died between June 1849 and May 1850. This was the first time a mortality schedule was included with the general population census schedule. Searchable data and browse are available for the following: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Mortality schedules are not available at all for other states. The schedules consist of large printed forms filled in by the census enumerators.
Mortality schedules are a national level file of state-by-state death registers for the year prior to the federal census. Mortality schedules exist for the census year 1850, 1860, and 1880. Census enumerators requested information from the head of household about deaths that had occurred in the year prior to the census. In 1918 to 1919, the Bureau of the Census distributed the original schedules to states or to the National Library of the Daughters of the American Revolution when states were not interested. Mortality schedules list those deceased during the year prior to the census. This is a small percentage of the total population. At the time of the 1870 census, it was surmised that as many as one-third of all deaths were not reported. For instance, when a family was scattered by the death of the head of household, there was no one left to report it. In 1880 a supplemental report from attending physicians added 60,000 additional names to the schedules.
In the absence of vital registration in many states, mortality schedules provided nationwide death statistics for one year of each decade, 1850–1880. According to the official statistical report for 1870, this was done to assess the death rate for age-groups, sex, race, nationality, and occupation and to "deduc[e] the effect of the various conditions of life upon the duration of life."
Census mortality schedules are usually accurate, but this accuracy depended on the knowledge of the informant and the care of the census enumerator.
|You can browse through images in this collection by visiting the browse page for United States Census (Mortality Schedule), 1850.
Record Content
The records usually contain the following:
- Name, age, gender, and color of deceased
- Free person or slave
- Whether married or widowed
- Birthplace (state, territory, or country)
- Month in which death occurred
- Occupation (profession or trade)
- Cause of death
- If parents were foreign born (1870 Census only)
- Length of residence in the United States (1880 Census only)
- Father's and mother's birthplace (1880 Census only)
How to Use the Record
To begin your search you will need to know:
- The full name of your ancestor
- Some identifying information such as age, residence and month in which death occurred
Search the Collection
To search the collection by name fill in your ancestor's name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.
If you did not find the person you were looking for, you may need to search the collection by image.
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select the "State" category
⇒Select the "County" category
⇒Select the "Township or other division of county" which takes you to the images.
Look at each image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
With either search keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line article FamilySearch Search Tips and Tricks.
Using the Information
Using the death information, you can search for obituaries, mortuary records, cemeteries, and probate records, all of which may provide additional genealogical information. Mortality schedules also list ages and birthplaces for a time period when births were not reported. Use this information to look for other records that may provide information about the individual, parents, and siblings.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- You may need to compare the information of more than one family or person to make this determination.
- Be aware that, as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for alias names, nicknames and abbreviated names.
- Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals that may be your ancestor.

PAGER - Common Building Types
Concrete shear wall highrise buildings
This is a high-rise reinforced concrete shear wall construction commonly located in downtown areas of Canadian cities. A typical multi-family building contains 100 to 200 units and provides housing for 300 to 500 inhabitants. The height of these buildings is variable and usually ranges from 12 to 35 stories. The lateral load-resisting system consists of reinforced concrete shear walls and concrete floor slabs (flat slab system). The gravity load is carried mainly by concrete columns and walls. Seismic detailing of shear walls in medium-to-high seismic regions is mandatory per the Canadian Concrete Code. Exterior walls are clad in stucco backed by cold-form steel framing or masonry veneer, steel/glazing panels, or precast panels. There is no report on the damage sustained by this building type in past earthquakes in Canada. However, because these buildings are designed according to state-of-the-art seismic codes, their seismic performance is expected to be satisfactory in an earthquake of design intensity (per the seismic design requirements of the National Building Code of Canada).
Reference: EERI and IAEE\'s World Housing Encyclopedia (Report #79) - John Pao, Svetlana N. Brzev
Single-family wood frame house
Wood frame construction represents the most common single-family housing construction practice found throughout Canada,. A typical Canadian-style modern wood frame house consists of a concrete foundation, upon which a platform is constructed of joists covered with plywood or oriented-strand board (OSB) to form the ground-floor level of the house. This platform is connected directly to the foundation with anchor bolts. Alternatively, it can be supported by a short wall, a so-called "cripple wall," "pony wall," or "stub wall," which should be connected to the foundation with anchor bolts. On this base, the exterior and interior walls are erected, which consist of a horizontal sill plate with vertical timber studs with board or panel sheathing nailed to the studs on the outside of the building. The roof structure typically consists of prefabricated trusses, which are covered with sheathing and roof tiles. There is no evidence of substantial damage to this type of construction in past earthquakes in Canada, since they occurred away from densely populated urban centers. However, recent experimental research studies (Earthquake 99 Project at the University of British Columbia), focused on seismic performance of wood frame construction, have revealed vulnerability in this type of construction to seismic effects, depending on the age and wood construction technology.

More on the campaign trail as Election Day nears
MESILLA -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden asked supporters in Mesilla not to quit working for the Barack Obama campaign, with Election Day less than three weeks away and Obama climbing in the polls.
"This election is very, very, very far from over," Biden said, speaking from an elevated stage erected in the historic Mesilla plaza.
Biden, in a 30-minute speech, urged voters to turn out Saturday -- the first Saturday for early voting in New Mexico. He said that would favor Democrats.
"In 2004, early voting was over 50 percent of the total voting here in New Mexico," he said. "If we get that over 60 percent this year in early voting, it will bode incredibly well for us. So please, vote early."
Obama campaign officials estimated the rally drew about 2,500 people. Many waited two hours to see Biden, and several held Obama signs authorized by the campaign; other signs weren't allowed.
Biden outlined Obama's positions on taxes, health care, education and energy. He criticized McCain's tax plan, which he said will amount to a break for the wealthiest Americans. Obama's plan, he said, will result in tax cuts for the middle class.
"We think small businesses should get a tax break -- not ExxonMobil," he said.
But Bill Riggs, spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said that the policies of GOP presidential John McCain will result in tax breaks "across the board.
"Raising taxes is the last thing you do," he said in a phone interview.
Perhaps the loudest applause during the rally came after a promise by Biden to end the war in Iraq. Biden also said Congress has work to do before the next president takes office. He said lawmakers should pass a moratorium on home foreclosures and a bill to give small businesses a tax break for new employees that are hired.
Biden referred to a comment by McCain in Wednesday's debate in which he told Obama that he wasn't George W. Bush.
"If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck," Biden said.
Biden's comments about college education most appealed to Kristin Twombly, 29, of Las Cruces, who is studying speech pathology at New Mexico State University.
"It has taken me 12 years to get my bachelor's degree, and I'm also a single mom," she said. "The things I get excited about are the health care and college affordability. Their campaign represents a lot of the struggles I've been through."
Biden touched upon a plan to compensate people who dedicate time to service for the country by contributing to the cost of their college education.
Richard Garcia of Roswell, 63, a retired retail salesman, said he traveled to Las Cruces because he didn't want to miss an opportunity to see Biden.
"The turnout was fantastic; they need to go to Roswell and that area," he said of the campaign.
McCain supporter Keisto Lucero, who said he was tossed out of the rally early after he cheered for McCain, said he disapproves of the Obama-Biden tax plan. He said tax increases for large companies result in higher prices for consumers and fewer jobs.
"Not all change represents progress," said Lucero, a sophomore at NMSU. "I think (Obama) is making a lot of empty promises he won't be able to keep if he's elected."
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson introduced Biden to the audience and praised the senator's work in foreign policy and national security. He joked about his and Biden's failed attempt to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
"We were on the stage together running for president," Richardson said. "You probably forgot I ran, too."
Biden's next stop is in Nevada, the campaign said.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is scheduled to appear at a rally Sunday in Roswell.

Selig loves words. He loves how they sound, how they taste and how they rattle around in his brain. He especially adores the way they play on the strings of his heart. Selig is drawn to collect what he cherishes, and his pockets, hat and socks are filled with jottings.
Like many who are consumed with zeal, Selig is regarded as peculiar. His parents worry about him. His classmates ridicule him, calling him an oddball and nicknaming him Wordsworth. Selig grows lonely.
But life takes an intriguing turn when, in a dream, Selig is visited by a swarthy, swirling man, a Dijinn. This genie, in typical form, is prepared to grant a wish. Selig, however, chooses to ask a question. The genie's ensuing reply sends Selig on his way, prepared to find purpose in his life.
What Selig discovers on his journey is that words don't belong tucked away. They must be shared. His words become verse for a poet and his enchanting adjectives bring new life to the edibles of an unsuccessful baker. It is not until Selig returns to nurturing his heart, however, that he can truly leave loneliness behind. True love, aptly named Melody, brings him contentment and the resolve to continue sharing his words with legions of lucky people. Roni Schotter clearly conveys her own love of language in this endearing picture book. The story is pleasantly packed with alliteration and spotlights a host of interesting words, set apart in the text by italics. Giselle Potter, who has illustrated several ALA notable books, enhances Schotter's story with her simply styled drawings. New readers will undoubtedly yearn to read the confetti of language that litters every page. Logophiles young and old will delight in this satisfying nod to the power of words.

The researchers fabricated a structure reminiscent of human vocal cords, but scaled down 1000 times. They created two long "bridges" of gold-coated silicon nitride, with a length of 20 micrometers and a thickness of 120 nanometers, separated by a narrow air gap of only 20 nanometers. Where vocal cords generate a vibration in the air between them, these nano-vocal cords generate a modulation in the intensity of the light trapped in the cavity between the bridges. A highly sensitive measurement technique allows the researchers to detect minute mechanical vibrations of the nano-bridges with very high sensitivity.
In conventional materials light cannot be confined to length scales smaller than approximately 200 nanometers, due to the "diffraction limit". The researchers avoid this limit by converting the light to surface plasmons: a special type of light waves that are bound to the surface of a metal. The key feature of the nanostructure in this work is the use of these plasmons to read out the mechanical motion of the nanostructure. As the plasmons are confined to the nanoscale, they are efficiently affected by even small motion of the tiny vocal cords. By monitoring the plasmons' transmission, the intrinsic thermal ("Brownian") motion of the cavity can be detected. The amplitude of this motion is only 10 picometers, smaller than an atom.
With this result, the researchers show for the first time coupling between plasmons and mechanical motion. They also show that the mechanical motion can itself be influenced by changing the light intensity. This new plasmonic transducer can find application in ultra-sensitive nanoscale sensors. The extremely small light cavities should allow vibrations with very high frequencies (up to GHz range) to be detected.

Tune into Lifetime at 7:30AM on April 4, 11, and 18 to see the three-episode story! It will re-air at the same time on May 17, 24, and 31!
One day in December 2012, Broward County Sheriff's Office Deputy Edward Ragauskas went to Detective Lisa Sokol for help. He had found Joy Stewart living in a home with no heat, running water, electricity or food with her four grandchildren.
Detective Sokol and Deputy Ragauskas put out a call for help to their fellow Broward County Sherriff's Deputies and the word quickly spread. Food, clothes and toys were donated; money was collected to turn utilities back on. National stores such as Wal-Mart, Brand Smart and Home Depot donated things like a water heater, refrigerator, food, clothes and toys. A very Merry Christmas for sure; however the state of the home the family was living in was not fit for habitation and as the holiday spirit of charity started to dwindle, the good deputies of the BSO were at a loss what to do next.
Rebuilding Together Broward County stepped in and with them they brought the producers of the locally produced national hit home improvement show Designing Spaces™, airing on Lifetime. After taking one look at the state of Stewart's family dwelling, the Dream Team at Designing Spaces decided to tackle the single largest makeover they have to date. With the help of Rebuilding Together, the Broward County Sherriff's Office and the local emergency shelter Kids In Distress, where Joy's grandchildren had been housed until she was able to bring them home, Designing Spaces rebuilt and furnished the entire house room by room.
With help from national sponsers like Tuesday Morning, the teams worked for 2 weeks and ended up with amazing results! The live reveal was Thursday February 14th and got the attention of local papers, news crews and then The Huffington Post Miami!
What started off as a sad story ended on a happy note of love by showing the magic that can occur when a community comes together and helps to create Joy.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jun 25, 2011
We go from political fights to knife fights as we "flASHback" on the week's news that amused and confused:
» Gov. Neil Abercrombie asked former Gov. Linda Lingle's appointees to resign from key state boards and commissions to clear the way for "A New Day in Hawaii." The prevailing response so far is that he should wait for "A Cold Day in Hell."
» The governor held a community meeting billed as a "conversation," but the audience was discouraged from talking and had to submit questions in writing. That makes it easier for him to listen with his lips moving.
» Japanese inventors have developed a torso-shaped contraption that gives you hugs when you're sad and blue and feeling picked on. Wouldn't it be nice if the state bought one for Abercrombie so Brian Schatz could get an occasional day off?
» As Abercrombie promises to bring Hawaii convicts home from mainland prisons, the state signed a new three-year contract to keep up to 1,900 of them there. It looks like for the prisoners it's going to be a "A New Day in Arizona."
» The Board of Land and Natural Resources passed an emergency rule banning alcoholic beverages and rowdiness on the Kaneohe Bay sandbar during three-day holiday weekends. Drunk and stupid will be reserved for regular two-day weekends.
» Mayor Peter Carlisle and the City Council appear headed to court in a fight over who will control the purse strings on Oahu's $5.3 billion rail project. Or more specifically, whose campaign donors will control the purse strings.
» Ko Olina developer Jeff Stone is hedging on his offer to donate 300 acres in Makaha Valley to Kamehameha Schools and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to provide education and affordable housing for the underprivileged. It seems the poor are as disposable as his $75 million aquarium.
» Hawaii Kai residents are up in arms that Foodland lost its lease in the Koko Marina Shopping Center to make way for a Walgreens, but the mall's owner is unmoved by the protests. Let them eat fast-acting gelcaps.
» An assailant was subdued and arrested after trying to stab Paul Brown, a 6-foot-6 football coach who has a side job teaching detention center guards how to fend off knife attacks. Nobody has picked on the wrong guy like that since Ed Case went after Dan Akaka.
And the quote of the week … from Big Island Mayor Billy Kenoi, who is also a lawyer, on his legal dispute with the County Council over the budget: "The law is clear. How can someone come up with a different opinion if the law is clear?" An attorney who can't spout at least 16 different opinions on any law makes a better living as a politician.
