Global campaign is Microsoft's biggest since it introduced the butterfly logo.
Microsoft's MSN is expected to take the wraps off its algorithmic search product Tuesday. It hopes to jumpstart adoption with its biggest online campaign ever, which will be accompanied by TV, print and outdoor placements in 25 countries.
Though MSN wouldn't divulge how much it will spend on the campaign, the company says its outlay will surpass what it spent on the launches of MSN 8 and MSN 9. Spending on MSN 8 was reported to be in the neighborhood of $300 million.
"It's the biggest global campaign since the introduction of the MSN butterfly," said Chris Cocks, director of global campaigns for MSN.
The company hopes to propel itself higher among search players. Currently, it commands 16 percent of search share, as compared with Yahoo's 32 percent and Google's 35 percent, according to comScore. Before today's launch, the company used Yahoo's technology to power its algorithmic search.
"Microsoft, and MSN specifically, is really just getting into the game at this point," said Jane Boulware, corporate VP of MSN global marketing. "We feel like we've got a very, very strong offering and we're not shy about letting the world know."
Possibly the biggest element in the marketing campaign is a redesign of the MSN.com home page, which gives more prominence to the search box. The search box appears in ads across all media, as well, as it did in Yahoo's campaign to promote its search service.
"We've taken the search bar and made it the star of the home page and the overall campaign," said Cocks. "Whenever we ask a question in the campaign, the search bar comes to life."
Agency of record McCann-Erickson was the main force behind the campaign. Avenue A/Razorfish handled online media buying. Austin-based T3 helped with online creative. 42 Entertainment, the guerilla marketing agency behind the online promotion for Steven Spielberg's "AI", is doing grassroots and viral marketing work, but MSN wouldn't divulge specifics.
An early version of a TV spot shows a box pulsating and changing shapes -- from a gorilla, to an astronaut, to a heart, to an elephant, etc., with each change more rapid than the previous one -- while an audio montage of news clips plays in the background. Then, it becomes clear the box is the centerpiece, and the "search" button appears. An announcer says, "There's a new way to search," and the MSN butterfly flies out of the search box. The tagline is, "Introducing the new, more precise, more powerful MSN search." A text call to action sends viewers to MSN.com.
While MSN didn't give ClickZ News a peek at online creative, the company said it would be similar in theme and look to the television spots. Formats employed include streaming video, Flash, and standard banners.
The online media plan includes intense exposure across the MSN network, as well as buys on sites inclucing CNET, Weather.com, USAToday.com and CBSSportsline.com.
"We tried to select sites where there's a high degree of usage by MSN users," said Cocks, explaining that the campaign was initially aimed at reaching those who already used MSN.
TV buys were chosen with Internet usage in mind, as well.
"We built it around the concept of searchable events," said Cocks. "We want to be in places where people are both watching TV and using the Internet at the same time."
To that end, MSN chose to advertise on national cable, and then picked local DMAs with a high concentration of searchers. In those markets the company made local buys on broadcasts of high-profile events including the Super Bowl, the Grammy Awards, the Academy Awards, and the NCAA Championships.
TV and online will be the main drivers of the campaign in the U.S., but print and outdoor ads will appear in other markets.
The main thrust of the campaign will continue for eight weeks, when MSN aims for 90 percent reach online and offline, and expects to deliver more than 40 impressions to each target.
"Right now we have programmed out the first eight weeks and we'll be evaluating the sustaining portions of the campaign," said Cocks, adding the company plans to keep the effort going throughout the year.

Her golden-blonde hair rests on the collar of her black sweater, and her soft side bangs brush the thin, silver frame of her glasses. She smiles. Her lips are full and painted a deep, dusty-rose shade of pink. She sits, hands folded together with a shiny gold band on each ring finger, waiting for the others to arrive.
She wears her pale skin bare on this rainy afternoon after class. Cotton-candy pink streaks run through her white-blonde hair. Earrings dangle from the gages that form sizable holes in each of her ears: one a machine-gun, the other, a revolver. Her four facial piercings add enough sparkle to evoke her alter ego: Miss Marie Massacre, a sort of gothic pin-up girl who covers herself in her creativeness.

Facebook Service
Continuing yesterday's theme of civil procedure, it is now legal in Australia to serve someone on Facebook. Having successfully tackled the questions of whether you can serve someone in an airplane, or give notice by printing it in a newspaper we are now seeing civil procedure move into the world of social networking. This is another indication of the way that blogs, Facebook pages, and Twitter accounts are finding their way into the legal system.

"Using these gift tags for favor bags. Also matched them to the invitations! Love Tiny Prints and how they have such a variety to choose from for anything needing personalization and coordinating products for any occasion. Very satisfied with these tags. Color is great.

"I stuck these onto plain cardboard tags and tied them around the favors with some pretty bakers string for my 1 year old's birthday party - they came out great!"
"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."

Frugal Gardening 101: The Busy Mom's Guide
Posted By Smockity Frocks On April 5, 2011 @ 10:37 pm In Frugal,Frugal Gardening 101,Gardening | 9 Comments
Each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer I will be collaborating with Amy's Finer Things [3]and Getting Freedom [4] to show you how even busy moms on a budget can grow food FROM DIRT!
I know! It's like you can be a super hero, isn't it?! We really need to fashion some kind of cape for this project, because, seriously? Pulling food out of the DIRT?! That's just about fourteen flavors of FABULOUS!
And guess what? We'll be giving YOU the opportunity to show us YOUR gardens, too, because starting next week this series will be a linky!
You can join the fun with these simple steps:
Now, take a look at what I have done so far in the way of frugal vegetable gardening [5]!
Oh, looky there! A darling baby! How'd that picture get in here?!
This discarded tractor tire that my husband brought home is holding peas and beans. (Don't worry. This area is hidden by the garage. Only the cows in the next pasture can see it.)
We decided to give raised bed gardening [8] a try this year and we have managed to spend a big fat NOTHING on the containers because my awesome husband managed to find lots of suitable ways of making raised beds. (I read up on using old tires for vegetable gardens [9] and they are fine!)
Here is another tire with some cantaloupe. CAN'T WAIT!
I used popsicle sticks to mark my crops. Nothing's to fancy for us.
What about you? How does YOUR garden grow?

text: Snowfall during the 2003-2004 season was above normal. The majority of the snow fell in December 2003 and January and March 2004. Mild temperatures resulted in quick melts in December and again in March but January was cold and snowy. Some sections of the snowbelt were near or over 100 inches for the month of January 2004 alone. Average seasonal snow ranged from 55 inches to 75 inches along the lakeshore east of Cleveland with over 100 inches common inland in the snowbelt. Snow totals were near records - just above 200 inches in localized sections of northern Geauga County in northeast Ohio and inland Erie County Pennsylvania.

Pitt basketball fans are preparing to panic now that Steven Adams declared for the NBA Draft and the Panthers are left with only one returning player taller than 6-foot-6.
Down on Jamie Dixon?
Don't be.
The Pitt coach was unflappable in addressing Adams' decision and the transfer of Trey Zeigler, which reduced the roster to six.
"We've been out recruiting," Dixon said. "We're going to find someone. We always do. We've found a couple guys in the summer that have been great additions for us over the years. That's what we've got to do."
It's easy to forget that Dixon has shown some past recruiting creativity.
Dixon discovered a July gem in Ontario Lett, who hadn't played the previous junior-college season.
And one of Dixon's first orders upon succeeding Ben Howland in 2003 was to salvage the recruiting class.
Not only did Dixon keep Chris Taft in the fold but when center Walter Waters wanted a release from his scholarship, Dixon found a late August replacement in Ohio guard Antonio Graves.
The departures of Adams and Malcolm Gilbert, who transferred to Fairfield, have left Pitt in a predicament in the post. Only 6-9 power forward Talib Zanna has any experience. The Panthers have signed 6-8 Mike Young, a McKeesport native playing at St. Benedict's Prep, but desperately need to add more presence in the paint.
Dixon is underappreciated as a recruiter, with a keen eye for untapped talent and strong work ethic.
Don't forget that he has signed five-star frontcourt players in three of his past four classes, even if Dante Taylor didn't live up to his McDonald's All-America billing, Khem Birch transferred midway through his freshman year and Adams went pro after one season.
If Pitt has a problem, it's with retention. Only three of seven players remain from the past two recruiting classes, and at least one player has flamed out in every class since 2006.
But Dixon has four scholarships with which to rebuild his roster. And it's worth noting that Pitt won 25 games in each of the seasons after losing Taft and DeJuan Blair to NBA early entry.
"It's a different climate out there with recruiting," Dixon said. "There's more guys available in the spring because of these new rules that they've put into place."
The Pitt coach likes the idea of having scholarships in the spring, so don't judge Dixon until he's done.

Two lovely self-portraits, have to go with the colour version, with those glorious blue eyes. Carol
Nominating Constructive Critique
I like the mono version. It has character and is an attractive image. The colour version shows your eyes off well. Your smile shows a relaxed portrait. The gold at the top of your head is distracting. A cleaner background would enhance this image. You may be able to clean that up in photoshop. The skin tones are good and natural. Two good images that show a friendly attractive face off well.

Nominating Constructive Critique
you've done a really good job - I think firstly you've done yourself proud with the pose. An open, inviting and friendly smile with sharp, wide eyes is always and engaging pose.
Mono is my favourite choice for portarits too. I think you see more of the person and less of the colour.
I've menioned this on another shot, but it's often best to shoot at a quite wide angle when doing portraits so you then can choose many crops - though I think you my be a bit low in the frame, i don't think it's such an issue here.
Also, just be wary of backgrounds - can be tricky to avoid distractions when you're not looking through the lens, so maybe use a sheet or something - maybe a plain wall. Here you've got a white strip down the right of the shot which does stand out from the darker backdrop.
nicely done though - hope you enjoyed the challenge
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thank you for the critique on my shot I agree about the background the strip is the curtain against the wall I didn't see how messy it was till it was pointed out and will try some cleaner backgrounds later overall I am happy with what I did but still don't like having my photo taken !
Its been a good learning curve though and a good challenge

Fish Creek and District Fire Brigade will honour its deceased members on a commemorative rock, unveiled today by Deputy Premier and Member for Gippsland South Peter Ryan.
Mr Ryan said the commemorative rock would be permanently displayed in memorial gardens at the rear of the Fire Station in recognition of the great work of CFA volunteers in the community.
"The commemorative rock will feature the names of deceased members since the brigade's foundation in 1944 as a permanent reminder of the vital service they offered the community over many years.
"CFA volunteers give so much to Victorians and often their efforts go unnoticed by the broader community," Mr Ryan said.
"This memorial reflects the deep gratitude of the residents of Fish Creek and the surrounding region for past members of the brigade and the work of the current 47 brigade members who serve the community.
"Emergency services volunteers help protect the lives and property of all Victorians and we are fortunate to be able to call upon these men and women in difficult times."
Mr Ryan said the landscaped memorial gardens at the rear of the Fish Creek Fire Station would feature the commemorative rock as well as two large flag poles displaying both the Australian and CFA flags.
"The memorial garden was created in recent months in an effort led by Fish Creek and District Brigade Captain Mick Dorling," Mr Ryan said.
"The costs of these works were largely met by the brigade's auxiliary fundraising efforts and I congratulate everyone involved on such a worthy achievement."
Mr Ryan said the Fish Creek Fire Station had been upgraded in recent years and now functioned as a Divisional Command Centre.
"The Fish Creek and District Fire Brigade's 47 volunteer members protect the communities of Fish Creek, Buffalo, Waratah North, Sandy Point and Waratah Bay," Mr Ryan said.
"In addition to providing fire coverage in the district, the Fish Creek Brigade is also the accredited road accident rescue service provider.
"Last year, the brigade attended 39 emergency response calls, as well participating in community fire prevention and preparedness activities."

On GovernanceFebruary 10th, 2011 by Bob Crisler
I've been thinking a lot, as I drive between the university and my home in Ashland, about Mark Greenfield's blog post from last month declaring 2011 the "Year of Web Governance in Higher Education." It reminded me of a long-ago debate on the <uwebd/> list that centered on the phrase "Let a thousand flowers bloom," in which one position advocated a laissez-faire approach to higher ed web development, in polar opposition to any notion of "web governance."
Sadly, years later, that debate continues to bubble on <uwebd/>, as if nothing had changed … as if, for instance, the rigid but predictable interface of Facebook had not prevailed over the chaos of MySpace.
The institutional website has never before been more important to the success of the academic enterprise. Indeed, the website is now considered by many to be analogous, if not equal, to the bricks and mortar of the college campus itself, so much so that the U.S. Department of Justice is proposing new rules that will put the websites of colleges and universities on equal legal standing (and risk) with their buildings, as public accommodations subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The legal risk management issues inherent in developing higher education websites have never been more acute. And even outside of those legal risks lie the simple risks of embarrassment; academic institutions are on notice now as never before; we've simply got to strive to make our sites better, each day, for all users. Dylan Wilbanks, recently of the University of Washington, experienced a little bottom-of-the-box archaeology on his way out the higher-ed door, which he recounted in a post, "Why universities have websites." Yup.
So, to governance. Admittedly, the word might strike many, even most, as unpleasant. It goes to the very heart of the academic enterprise: freedom. The question becomes one of balance: how do we offer consistent and easy access to content and at the same time avoid interfering in the speech or ideas that the content describes?
First, to provide an infrastructure that optimizes access to content, more is required, WAY more, than look and feel. Owing to past insightful campus leadership on the subject of web governance, we've long since moved beyond templates, taking our first steps into the world of a "platform;" a foundation for web computing.
At UNL, our code, which includes the look and feel of the website as well as many underlying functions, is distributed more widely and deeply than at almost any other academic institution of similar size. The code supports a significant and growing core of functions that goes well beyond the simple construction of HTML web pages that many are familiar with, and perhaps reminded of, when the word "template" is used. There are now many of these functions that are part of each UNL.edu page; I'll take you on a quick tour through four that I consider most important.
Mobile access to UNL.edu web content is no longer a nice-to-have option. Indeed, it was just announced by the research firm International Data Corporation that smartphones outsold PCs for the first time ever in the final quarter of 2010. Development continues on this capability, but University Communications has implemented a mobile server (m.unl.edu) that repackages UNL.edu content for display on mobile devices, providing that content is served from UNL's main web host and it's published 'according to Hoyle' in the UNL.edu codebase.
Accessibility of all UNL web pages can't be guaranteed, as any code placed within the provided page 'frame' must be made accessible, but it's important to note that UNL site code distributed by the Web Developer Network conforms to the success criteria of the coming ADA standards; indeed the UNL.edu homepage conforms to machine-testable standards for web accessibility at the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA – a mouthful that will form the "success criteria" to be mandated under the law as part of ADA in the coming few years (back to the Department of Justice reference in the second paragraph for more information).
And then there's Single Sign-on. Once you've authenticated to one service through Login.unl.edu, each UNL.edu page that you traverse throughout that web session is 'aware' of your login status. This allows you to maintain your UNL security level throughout the browser session, and enter multiple authenticated web services on the site without the hassle of repetitive logins or a plethora of username/password combinations. It's at once more secure, and much, much easier. And a common authentication service leads to some very interesting possibilities, as it will eventually become possible to 'mash up' data from several web services into single interfaces that bring all data elements of any process together: Click, click, done.
Finally, I'll mention emergency alerting, not because it's central on a day-to-day basis to accessing content that's important to the academic enterprise, but because on the very rare occasion that it is central, it may be the only thing that matters. Today, every UNL.edu page stays in constant contact with UNL emergency-alert servers maintained by Information Services and UNL Police. The pages, like a child in the backseat asking "are we there yet?" constantly (every 30 seconds) 'pings' the server. Any emergency alerts issued by UNL Police are displayed on any open UNL.edu web page within an average of 45 seconds after they're issued (from end to end, this is one of the fastest-available channels for distribution of alert messages).
Without a history of web governance at UNL, we would have none of the above. And we would have none of the important and substantial contributions that have come into the UNL.edu codebase over the years from Web Developer Network members in the Department of Mathematics, the College of Business Administration, University Housing, Business and Finance, IANR and many others, too numerous to mention.
Governance isn't sexy. But think about it: governance is in many ways what makes us free. Without it, our nation couldn't have gone to the moon or built the Interstate highway system, which gave us new science and engineering and the freedom to move about with unprecedented ease. It gave us the Internet, which has allowed anyone to publish for a worldwide audience. Without governance, this university couldn't have built the buildings in which all of the amazing and enriching activity of the academic enterprise occurs, or hired the talented professors that lead it.
Governance is the management of things that are important enough to be governed. As the expectations of our students and other site users continue to advance, the demands on our website(s) will continue to grow. We're going to need more governance, not less. Better governance, rather than none.
Spring is almost here. So let a thousand flowers bloom. But let them be flowers.

Microsoft has a tough road ahead trying to win market share with its revamped search engine, Bing. It's not good enough to be slightly better than Google or Yahoo to succeed in the search engine wars. As one of my clients, Naijia Huang, aptly put it last week, "You have to be so good and have more meaningful features that a person would actually stop using Google."
This is a pretty tall order considering Google now has more than 65 percent market share of the search engine usage, according to comScore.
Will Bing make a difference for Microsoft this time? Considering that Bing's launch is supported by an ad campaign in the $80 million to $100 million range, they certainly intend to make it successful. Early indications are somewhat positive; comScore just released the following numbers:
It's way too early to say Bing is a success, so let's just say that initial trials are favorable. Will these trials turn into market share growth? We promise to keep you posted.
Stakes Are High, Especially in the Local Search Space
What we know, however, is that major engines continue to try and move their search domination into local search. As discussed in previous articles, local search represents a large relatively untapped revenue source. Depending on whose estimates you believe, the local search industry could eclipse $15 billion dollars in the next several years, so it's certainly worth targeting.
Today's local search landscape is relatively fragmented to include major search engines, Internet yellow pages, city guides, and more. When just viewing local searches on the major portals, we see Google taking the lead.
Share of Local Portal Searches
Source: TMPDM/Comscore Local Search Usage Study, Q2 2008
Both Yahoo and Microsoft had declining local search shares between 2007 and 2008, while Google's local search share increased. If Microsoft wants to compete, they'll have to take some pretty big steps to master the local search space.
How Does Bing Stack up in Local Search?
The most obvious would be that the results page looks very similar to Google's. Bing even has an 8-pack (local listings surrounded by a map) to compete with Google's 10-pack. You won't notice a significant difference until you click through to a local business profile page. Here, you'll find the first evidence of why Bing calls itself a "decision engine."
The profile page includes similar features to a profile page on Google, but also some unique features that separate it from the rest of the pack. The layout seems much more navigable in terms of generating a purchase decision about a specific business. There also seems to be a bit more content within each feature:
- Business Listing: No great innovation here; content is fairly consistent with what's on Google and Yahoo. Information includes address, phone number, hours of operation, reviews, and a Web site link for the business and different features on the profile page.
- Map: Bing provides predetermined or "one-click" directions from different corners of the city. In some cases, this would be more convenient, especially if the searcher is already familiar with the area.
- Nearby: Links included under this feature are for other services or places of interest in the area. While it's simple, the added convenience will go a long way for searchers planning an outing.
- User Review Scorecard: This section provides a summary of the user reviews and organizes them into categories for quick reference. Clicking on "Show Reviews" provides more insights relative to specific categories. At this point, these appear to be only in the restaurant category, this could be a great differentiator if Bing could build out these categories specific to other verticals.
One area where Bing excels is the integration of local results that include Yellowpages.com advertiser listings at the top and bottom of results pages. Content is vital to help searchers make informed purchase decisions, and this integration helps provide Bing's users with purchase forming criteria, beyond a map and a link to the merchant's Web site.
To see if this integration was actually having any effect on performance, we looked at the source traffic going to YellowPages.com as indicated by the Hitwise ClickStream tool. The last two weeks ranked Bing and Bing Local as the top 10 and 12 sites driving traffic to YellowPages.com.
The percentage of clicks coming from each for the week ending June 13 was 1.09 percent and 1.04 percent respectively. From May 16 to 23, Live Search (Microsoft's previous search engine) was ranked 20th, responsible for only 0.45 percent of upstream traffic. It's obvious that online users are finding this integration favorable and are making use of the information.
Predictions Please
Overall, Bing is on the right track as it relates to local search; results are comprehensive enough, page usability is equal, if not superior, and integration with Yellowpages.com is positive. However, it's not enough to pronounce Bing a "Google killer" as some may have believed.
Naijia's perception is right; unless Bing makes a great leap forward, there's nothing here that will make people want to switch from their existing local search favorites.
Submissions are now open for the 2009 Search Engine Watch Awards. Enter your company or campaign before July 17, 2009. Winners will be announced at SES San Jose.

Door-to-door damage assessment efforts will begin at 8 a.m. Thursday in Clay County to take a look at the damage left from Tropical Storm Debby.
Teams will take to the streets in areas where flood waters have subsided. Assessment efforts will be concentrated in these areas:
- Knightboxx Road area
- Tanglewood and Greenwood subdivisions, southern Orange Park
- Aquarius Concourse and Arora Boulevard., off Blanding Bouleavard in northern Orange Park
- Bellair area, north of Kingsley Avenue
Continued assessment efforts will also be conducted in other areas as water recedes.
Many roadways remain closed or impassable in Clay County. The Sheriff's Office will continue to provide assistance for residents in stricken areas.
Many people in the Clay County area have been asking about the status of County Road 218. CR-218 westbound at Country Estates remains impassable, but CR-218 westbound at Jacaranda Avenue is open.
County Public Works employees are working to improve additional roadways, and these will be opened as conditions warrant
The Clay County Sheriff's Office, Jacksonville Fire Rescue Urban Search and Rescue teams, and Fish and Wildlife Commission continue to help with providing personnel and watercraft availability to assist residents. Approximately 90 people and several animals have been assisted from flooding homes.
Damage reports are being received from all areas of the county. Nearly 200 damage reports have been received so far. More than 300 homes are believed to have sustained some type of damage, which may not have been yet reported.
All damage should be reported to the Clay County hotline at (904) 284-7703. Clay County said this is a declared emergency, so it is imperative that all reports of damage are recorded through the EOC.
Storm-related debris (structural and vegetative), should be placed curbside for collection. Debris pieces should be no longer than 4' long, and weigh no more than 50 lbs per piece.
Regular household garbage and weekly yard debris pickups will be conducted on existing pickup schedules.
The EOC Call Center will be back open at 8 a.m. Thursday.

A HUGE misconception I've been noticing.

My board has enough of a customizable stance that I'm perfectly comfortable on it.
EDIT: Always remember that there are no rules for riding. If you want to ride pigeon-toed, do it. You may crash a lot and be REALLY sore, but you can ride however you want. No one call tell you your board is wrong or your stance is wrong. It's all personal preference. That's one of the things I LOVE about boarding. Do it your way.
The fact of the matter is that height has nothing to do with what you want to look for in board length. At all. Most boards of the same model but different sizes have the same stance range, so a 157 Rome Flag has the same stance range as the 168.
The board honestly does not know how tall you are, so that is a bogus "ballpark" estimate. Your weight, however, will make a difference. If you're 250 pounds and riding a 155 board, you're going to have stability issues. If you're 125 pounds and riding a 166, you're going to have response issues. The board distributes your weight, not your height.
The whole "you can snowboard how you want because it's your snowboarding experience" thing is true, but kinda misleading. I guarantee your snowboarding experience will be better if you listen to those that know what they're doing. They've experimented with all the variables and know how to generally estimate what would work well for you. You can also choose not to breathe because it's your body, but that is not advisable :P

Aggies say bowl eligibility hasn't been a distraction
Logan • Oh, that magic number. Six wins.
For teams that have become bowl-eligible, the possibilities start becoming enticing. Where might the Utah State football team be playing in a month? Who might they be squaring off against?
It's something to think about, B.J. Larsen said. But for the Aggies, that kind of day-dreaming has no place on the field.
"You obviously think about it a little bit," he said. "But I guess it comes down to control the things you can control. We can control this win at the end of the week."
Colorado State is firmly in mind for Utah State this week, and not even bowl possibilities can edge Saturday's game out of their heads.
While thinking about going to Las Vegas, San Diego, or a number of other places has its attraction, the Aggies say their main goal has never been to get to a third straight bowl game. Utah State still hopes to be in the Mountain West Championship game, and the team must win this weekend to make sure that hope stays alive.
"We've got one goal, and that's to win this league," defensive coordinator Todd Orlando said. "That's been our goal since the beginning of the year."
Utah State will need some help for that to happen this week. Boise State visits San Diego State this week, and if the Aztecs can upset the Broncos, the Aggies will be in the Mountain Division lead as long as they handle the Rams. This week is likely the best chance Boise State has of being upset the Broncos wrap the season with New Mexico, which is 1-5 against conference opponents.
So any future travel, bowl souvenirs and primetime games are well out of mind for now, the Aggies say. They also recognize if they stay focused on winning, there could be more spoils still at the end of the year.
"I think everyone just sees it as motivation," Tyler Larsen said. "We still want to get to a big bowl. We still want to compete for a conference championship. We're still in the running, so we don't let it faze us. Six wins is great, but eight wins would be even better."

Working Together: Oxfam's partnership principles and program standards
Partnerships lie at the core of how Oxfam understands the world and our role in working for change.
We are pleased to share this summary of Oxfam's Partnership Principles, and other key documents which guide our work with others. By setting out our partnership principles and program operating and evaluation standards, we hope to clarify, and be held to account for, the kinds of relationships we want to foster with different types of partners, and the positive change we aim to achieve.
All of Oxfam's work in long-term development, humanitarian response and disaster prevention, and campaigns and advocacy will be guided by these principles.
Working together, as part of a global movement for change
Oxfam aspires to make a sustained and significant positive impact on global poverty and injustice. We believe that it is only through the collective efforts of many actors that this goal can be achieved.
We think of this as a 'global movement for change', which we believe is creating the conditions and structural changes necessary for effective, people-centered, sustainable change and development.
As part of this movement, we work in a variety of partnerships in dozens of countries around the world and at global level.
Our aim is to bring value by:
- helping to bring together different actors to work on common problems
- supporting organizational and institutional capacity-strengthening
- generating and sharing knowledge, whether produced at local or global levels
- promoting innovation and alternative solutions that may be brought to scale
- helping to hold duty-bearers to account for recognizing, protecting and fulfilling the rights of women and men living with poverty and injustice.
We welcome all opportunities to discuss with you our performance, and how we can improve. Oxfam is part of an on-going worldwide effort of nearly 70 international NGOs to assess their performance according to the views of the local partners that these NGOs help to fund and with whom they work.


text: Obama Cancels Military Exercises With Egypt President condemns new violence By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Aug 15, 2013 9:57 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (67) (Newser) – President Obama interrupted his vacation today to condemn the violence in Egypt and announce that the US is canceling joint military exercises with the nation, reports CNN. "Our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual while civilians are being killed in the streets," said Obama in his brief address this morning. The move likely won't do much to appease critics who think the White House should be far more aggressive and, say, cut off its $1.3 billion in US military aid. But this is the "first concrete American response," notes the New York Times. "We appreciate the complexity of the situation," said Obama. While conceding that Mohamed Morsi's government wasn't exactly a pillar of democracy, Obama said the military should not have used force to oust him. A peaceful political solution was still possible immediately after the ouster, but yesterday's violence shows that military leaders instead chose a "more dangerous path." The president called for the newly declared state of emergency to be lifted and asked "people who are protesting to do so peacefully." He spoke as the official death toll passed the 500 milestone, a figure certain to rise. The AP reports that Morsi supporters set fire to two government buildings today in Giza, home to the pyramids. The city is next to Cairo. An Egyptian pulls a banner of Egypt's ousted President Mohammed Morsi near debris left at a protest camp in Nahda Square in Cairo Thursday.

|Noninvasive investigation of autonomic activity after carotid stenting or carotid endarterectomy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16950419 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been introduced as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. Both techniques seem to be associated with postoperative hemodynamic lability. Both may induce baroreceptor dysfunction, possibly leading to transient impairment of cardiovascular autonomic activity and resulting in hemodynamic instability. This instability might contribute to postoperative morbidity. To elucidate these phenomena, we studied the cardiac baroreflex and autonomic cardiovascular control after CAS and CEA.
METHOD: In 20 patients scheduled for CAS (n = 10) or CEA (n = 10), intra-arterial pressures and electrocardiograms were recorded during 10 minutes before and 8 and 24 hours after the procedure. Spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity was assessed using the sequence method and cross-spectral analysis. In addition, cardiovascular autonomic activity was investigated using spectral analysis of heart rate variability and systolic arterial pressure variability.
RESULTS: After CAS, we demonstrated an increase of the spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity median (interquartile range) from 5.6 (5.1 to 6.2) ms/mm Hg before the procedure to 8.8 (6.8 to 10.5) ms/mm Hg and 7.7 (3.9 to 8.6) ms/mm Hg (P < .001), 8 and 24 hours after the procedure. This was consistent with the increase of the high frequency component of heart rate variability reflecting cardiac parasympathetic activity and a decrease of the low frequency of systolic arterial pressure variability reflecting sympathetic vascular activity. The postoperative period was also associated with decreased systolic arterial pressure from 173 (162 to 190) mm Hg at baseline to 122 (109 to 143) mm Hg and 136 (121 to 143) mm Hg at 8 and 24 hours after CAS (P < .001). No changes in baroreflex sensitivity or in autonomic activity were observed after CEA.
CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary data suggest that CAS is associated with parasympathetic predominance postoperatively and may probably explain the lower systolic arterial pressure observed after CAS.

Among the reporter-columnists whose bylines I never miss, Pulitzer Prize-winner Charlie Savage of The New York Times is at the top of the list. He is penetratingly factual and stays on stories that are often surprising.
At the bottom of page 12 of the March 14 Times - in what should have been on the front page, garnering Savage another Pulitzer - was this: "U.S., Rebuffing U.N., Maintains Stance That Rights Treaty Does Not Apply Abroad."
This treaty, signed by our Senate in 1992, is the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which, Savage notes, "bans arbitrary killings, ...

Twenty years is a lot of tea and coffee. A lot of tea parties with the girls (we have two now), a lot of mixing salad dressing and holding colorful frosting for holiday cookies. These little cups are good for so many things, after all.
This is the only one left:
We never replaced the others, not really. What fills our shelves are a mish-mash of odd mugs collected or made over the years. We've received "thank you" mugs with our names printed on them for good deeds done. We have a few bland Ikea mugs that don't even merit a photograph. There are a few matching mugs—in straggling twos and threes—given as holiday gifts with a pound of coffee or box of special tea.
But mostly what we're left with are the oddballs. The joke and novelty mugs that are just too funny to toss but too weird to love. Like this one, a dandy little guy that wishes us a Happy Winter, year-round.
This one is my favorite. It's informative, with a nice long description of Bigfoot sitings over the 20th century.
It's hard to imagine parting with these guys, such familiar faces in the morning. But it's time. It's time to grow up, toss the reindeer mug and throw down the big bucks for matching more adult mugs. Or at least matching mugs. Again. But without the big white gown and catering.

Pakistan's Sharif meets army chief amid crisisComment on this story
Islamabad/Lahore - Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met the powerful army chief on Tuesday, a source in his administration said, as a political deadlock over mass protests for the government's resignation showed no signs of resolution.
Pakistan has been gripped by peaceful opposition protests demanding Sharif's resignation this month, with thousands of demonstrators camped outside parliament in a country that has experienced a succession of military coups.
"The meeting took place at the prime minister's house," said the administration source, who asked not to be identified as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
Sharif and army chief Raheel Sharif discussed the political situation and other matters, the source added. No other details were immediately available.
The army could not be reached for comment.
Protesters led by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and firebrand cleric Tahir ul-Qadri have vowed to occupy the capital, Islamabad, until Sharif resigns - a demand the premier has rejected.
Thousands of Khan and Qadri supporters are now camped out in the heart of Islamabad - the so-called "Red zone" - but the gathering is peaceful and security forces protecting the key installations have not used force to disperse them.
Whether the protests fizzle out or take a more violent course ultimately depends on the stance taken by the military in a country ruled by generals for half of its history.
Sharif has a difficult relationship with the army: his last term in office ended in 1999 when then army chief General Pervez Musharraf launched a coup to usher in a decade of military rule.
Relations with the military soured further when Sharif's government prosecuted Musharraf last year for treason, angering officers who see the army as Pakistan's saviour and despise politicians as corrupt and inefficient.
Some ruling party officials have accused elements within the military of orchestrating the protests to weaken the civilian government. The military insists it does not meddle in politics.
Few believe the military wants to seize power this time, but there is a widespread perception it is using the protests as an opportunity to weaken Sharif and put his civilian government under its thumb.
Government officials and protest leaders have been in sporadic talks since last week to find a peaceful way out of the crisis but Khan has refused to back down unless Sharif quits.
Qadri, for his part, has given the government another deadline to quit by the middle of this week, saying otherwise circumstances might be "uncontrollable". - Reuters

U.S. Congressman Steve Pearce, whose district includes Lincoln County, said during a conference call that an M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory study shows a proposed SunZia transmission line would be harmful to the missions of White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base.
The study, released Monday, "well validated" the concerns of the Department of Defense, Pearce said Tuesday.
Pearce said when he was elected to his second term, representatives of SunZia met with him to discuss the company's plan to run the line north of Corona, west and then down through the southern part of New Mexico and west again through Arizona to the West Coast.
"I looked at their proposed route and told them I thought they were pretty close to those restricted areas for White Sands," Pearce said.
Pearce recommended the line be moved farther north or buried underground so the air space of the area would not be impacted.
The study, Pearce said, raised three points — it would be a vertical obstruction, there was a concern of falling debris and possible electromagnetic interference.
"The last thing New Mexico wants to do is shutdown 30 percent" of the missile range's mission, which the study showed would occur, Pearce said. "This would impact the missions of Holloman Air Force base as well and we could lose them both."
Pearce said with the current climate from the White House of "slashing" the Defense Department, "the president could say, 'Well, they're only at 70 percent, might as well shut it down."
The congressman said some missions from Fort Bliss could be impacted as well.
Pearce said he understands the ranchers in northern Lincoln County wanting to take advantage of the transmission line by having windmills on their land to possibly generate revenue,
"I'm not in opposition to the ranchers, I just want SunZia to either bury that line or move it," Pearce said.
Last year,the Lincoln County Commission backed the ranchers and their right to use their land for the transmission line and for the development of wind farms.
Pearce said in light of the scope of the project, burying the line shouldn't be that much of a problem.
A SunZia spokesman has contended that requiring the route to be altered would kill the project financially because another environmental study would have to be undertaken.
"There is no one more pro business than I am, I'm all about jobs," Pearce said. "I don't think SunZia should be making their bottom-line profit more important than national defense."
U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) released a statement on the study Tuesday, saying, "I encourage the Department of Defense to make the unclassified results of this study available to public, for we have concluded that there are pragmatic solutions to allow SunZia and White Sands Missile Range to mutually exist. The administration should issue the record of decision on SunZia's NEPA process. This is about diversifying New Mexico's economy, lessening our dependence on federal dollars, and charting a course for a more prosperous future. SunZia should get built."
Heinrich, in his statement, said he has long supported both the SunZia transmission project and White Sands Missile Range.
"I have consistently fought to support the state-of-the-art military training, research and development, and testing that occurs in New Mexico, and I will continue to do so. But it is also important to find common ground that does not preclude one national priority over the other when both priorities can be realized, especially when it means so many jobs for New Mexicans."
Pearce said he wasn't aware of any portion of the report being "top secret" and would have his staff work on publishing the MIT report on his web site.

Are you willing to grow a new strain of marijuana? If you are, then you must probably start searching for the best marijuana seeds. Marijuana seeds are known by different names the world over. They are referred to as pot seeds, weed seeds, cannabis seeds, etc. So, if you want to grow marijuana, then you must buy pot seeds online. The online stores are the trusted sources to purchase marijuana from. You can buy an array of seeds from the stores in different packages. The online stores help you with purchasing the high uplifting pot seeds. Reputed online seed banks are usually authorized and licensed to sell marijuana in the states where use of marijuana is legal. When you buy pot seeds online from these stores, you can be sure that you will not lose your money. They offer you high stoned and uplifting strains like the White Widow, Afghani Skunk, Big Bud, Master Kush, Northern Lights and Purple Haze. The main reason for the legalizing of marijuana use was due to the health benefits these seeds offer. Individuals, suffering with various diseases and disorders can easily cure them with the help of medical marijuana seeds. Additionally, you can also purchase the feminized and regular forms of marijuana seeds at the online stores.
Benefits of Growing marijuana:
Growing marijuana is not an easy job. It requires a lot of time and effort. But it brings a lot of benefits, once the weed buds start growing. Cropping marijuana helps individuals to prevent diseases and various disorders. It helps in the treatment of glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, nausea, muscle spasms, cancer, AIDS and many other health diseases. It has been proven by the scientists that medical marijuana acts as a treatment source for all the above listed diseases and disorders. This information helped many nations to remove the bans on the use of marijuana and legalize it. There are many diseases which can be cured with one strain usage of medical marijuana. These beneficial strains can be found at the online stores, dispensaries or marijuana supplying centers. Marijuana can help your family members to live a healthy life. In fact, by growing marijuana you can help your neighbors and individuals for the treatment of diseases. Or else you can also guide them to buy pot seeds online from where you always purchase.
Depending upon your marijuana growing process, you can either purchase the medical marijuana seeds for indoor or outdoor growing. The indoor growing marijuana will restrict you from growing an extensive amount of medical marijuana. While, the outdoor process will offer you high amounts of marijuana yield. Growing marijuana outdoors can help you in cultivating the seeds for two times in one season. This is because the outdoor process is relatively faster than the indoor growing process. It helps the seeds to obtain good sunlight, water and other sources. Besides, the airy atmosphere makes the leaves healthy and strong. This in turn results to high and uplifting THC levels from the strains. But as you continue to grow marijuana, it is important that you maintain the plants properly. You should ensure that they are not eaten away by the animals. This can damage the growth of the plants. Hence, if you wish to grow marijuana, then it is highly advisable that you buy pot seeds online.
About The Author :
Fancy Weed is an online service that helps the individuals to find the best marijuana seeds or cannabis seeds with ease. At Fancy Weed, you will get all related information on growing marijuana (cannabis), the several marijuana seed banks and also advice on what strains will produce high quality yield.

Somewhat of a cynical post, but there's always a bright side to even the darkest of corners. So here's a "glass half full" reason why not to do a backup, or at least not to do a backup in the way I tried yesterday.
I run Windows Server 2003 on my main laptop (as many of you are probably bored of me reminding you). Unfortunately, certain vendors and their external USB/Firewire disks (who shall remain nameless) bundle badly skinned and functionally half backed software (IMHO) for backing up machines "easily". (Yes, there was supposed to be a hint of bitterness.) However, if you want to run their software under Windows Server, you're pretty much out of luck and have to do backups the harder or more conventional way (such as the ever present NTBackup.exe program built into Windows directly).
Me being me, I just had to try to run their bundled software anyway. I didn't do too badly with a bit of app compat, orca and sheer determination thrown in. Unfortunately, I ended up at a blue screen. Doh! Plan B was to install, on a spare 3GB partition, a bare minimal installation of Windows XP just to use their backup software. Dead simple - pop the disk in, install, reboot, SP2 it, patch it, add drivers for all the hardware, anti-virus, join the domain and you're there. Until, that it, you want to boot back to Windows Server 2003. No chance - no safe mode, hangs in logging startup mode, reboots continually.
Here's the bright side to this story and a valuable lesson should any of you attempt to install XP for dual boot AFTER Windows Server 2003 is already installed. Rule number 1 is to always put XP on first (or at least the oldest OS depending on what media and level of slipstreaming you have to hand). If you break rule 1, rule 2 is the fix up and detailed below.
- Boot into the working XP partition- Start/Run cmd.exe- N: (where N is the drive for the WS2003 installation)- attrib -s -h -r ntldr- attrib -s -h -r ntdetect.com- copy ntldr ntldr.sav- copy ntdetect.com ntdetect.com.sav- Pop the WS2003 media into your cd/dvd - copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\ (Confirm overwrite and replacing e: with your DVD drive)- copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\ (Confirm overwrite)- attrib +s +h +r ntldr- attrib +s +h +r ntdetect.com- Start/Shutdown/Restart- Boot into Windows Server 2003 :-)
In my case, this was only half the answer (in fact it still is - I'm in the middle of restoring 50GB of data as I write this and destined to wait at least another couple of hours), but if ever you try to dual boot, make sure you take the above on board first!!!
Oh yes, one other thing. Partition mirroring software is extremely worthwhile as a tool to have in your arsenel once you've dug an industrial sized hole to bury yourself in. But, you've probably guessed this one, the version I bought a long time back doesn't run under Server.... Sound familiar???
So what else good has come out of my "downtime"  (yes, the restore is still running - 13% and counting...
Couldnt you have run a Repair option on the 2k3 install?
Sadly it wasn't an option from the state it was in.
So why, oh why did I trust your very valid reasoning about what a good idea it was to install the 3rd party drivers for the hardware and to actually cancel my own very valid NTbackup 70% of the way through? Then to install the drivers on my own machine and get blue screens for the rest of the day! Grrrrr!

To provide tips:
If you have visual images, video, and/or details regarding the explosions along the Boston Marathon route and elsewhere, submit them on here. No piece of information or detail is too small.
You can also call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), prompt #3, with information.
All media inquiries should be directed to the FBI's National Press Office at (202) 324-3691.
BOSTON — The FBI released photos and video Thursday of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public's help in identifying them, zeroing in on the two men on surveillance-camera footage less than three days after the deadly attack.
FBI agent Richard DesLauriers said the photos of the two men came from surveillance cameras near the explosion sites. One man is seen wearing a dark baseball cap, the other a white cap worn backwards.
The man in the white cap is seen setting down a backpack at the site of one of the blasts, DesLauriers said.
Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visitors.
The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the three people killed and more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts Monday at the marathon finish line.
The break in the investigation came just days after the attack that tore off limbs, shattered windows and raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
The suspects are considered armed and extremely dangerous, DesLauriers said, and people who see them should not approach them.
"Do not take any action on your own," he warned.
Generally, law enforcement agencies release photos of suspects only as a last resort, when they need the public's help in identifying or capturing someone.
Releasing photos can be a mixed bag: It can tip off a suspect and deny police the element of surprise. It can also trigger an avalanche of tips, forcing police to waste valuable time chasing them down.
At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross earlier in the day, Obama declared to the people of Boston: "Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act." He spoke in almost mocking terms of those who commit such violence.
"We finish the race, and we do that because of who we are," the president said to applause. "And that's what the perpetrators of such senseless violence - these small, stunted individuals who would destroy instead of build and think somehow that makes them important - that's what they don't understand."
"We will find you," he warned those behind the attack.
