8 Steps to Global Business Success Powered by Social Media
Written by Jeff Bullas - 10 Comments
Categories: Content, Content Marketing, Social Media, Social Media Marketing
Knowledge, ideas and creativity swirl around us every day. Television transmits information on finance, weather and sport.
Lifestyle programs show us how to sing, cook and exercise. Radio stations bombard us with gardening tips, entertainment and music.
It is information overload.
Businesses are built on knowledge, expertise, talent and know how. Every business is in the "knowledge business".
The businesses and personal brands that succeed may not have the best products or services but know how to package that information and share it so they cut through the noise of billions of online ads, crowded social media networks and TV advertising.
Artists, authors and musicians have services that are now easily digitized and can be sold to a global audience. Don't think of 1,000 potential customers, add some more zeros.
Don't think local, dream of world domination.
Social media can help you display that knowledge,expertise and talent to the world and facilitate the spread of your brand.
The world has changed and it is digital
Business that operated in unprofitable local micro niche markets now have platforms and portals that can publish and market to a large world market in seconds if you have the tribe and the tools.
Where do you start?
In a digital world that searches and consumes data from laptops, smart phones and tablets there is no other option but creating, building and investing in digital assets.
Google's search engine is curating, crawling and indexing the web for all to see. Are you found or are you invisible?
The challenge is to move from invisible to visible. Visible is good, invisibility is death in a digital world.
Step 1. Create an Online Digital Portal
This can take many forms. My weapon of choice is a WordPress Blog. This is my social media hub. For many knowledge businesses it might be a website and a blog.
The bricks and mortar retailer needs to provide an alternative to drive, park and shop and also provide the alternative which is search, browse and click. Providing different ways to buy in a world of multiple choice is now mandatory.
Create and build that online store before your competitor does!

Step 2. Know your Target Audience
You need to ask some questions to get this one right. What do they read? What seminars do they attend? What social media networks do they belong to, is it LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter? What are their problems and how can you help them solve them. Help them make it easy for them to trust your expertise and knowledge. How do you do that?
Provide content!
Step 3. Create Contagious Content
Customers will consume any information that helps them solve business problems. Some consumers will want to be educated.
Others will need some inspiration.
Also don't forget to throw in some entertainment from time to time.
Create content in multiple formats and media. It needs to be content that is compelling and catchy. Learn the art of the headline. I promise you that this can be learnt and it isn't just for Ninja nerds in creative agencies.

Step 4. Give away Free Content till it Hurts
Most knowledge businesses struggle with this one. Often the question is asked "Aren't I giving away my intellectual property?"
The reality is that the magic sauce to a successful strategy is the execution and only you know how to take ideas on paper and make it happen in reality. The devil is in the detail. Now putting out one PDF, one ebook or that once a month blog post is not going to cut it. Provide valuable lessons which display credibility and build online trust and you will be surprised by what happens.
Think like a publisher.
Step 5. Build Tribes on Social Networks
Now there is a danger here and it is built on the premise that Facebook is the answer to all your social media networking marketing dreams. Many businesses are trapped into thinking that obtaining 1,000 Facebook likes is social networking nirvana and forget, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Pinterest.
Facebook has a secret formula that stops your updates on your Facebook page appearing in your Fans timelines. It is called "Edge Rank". In fact as little as 2-3 percent of your updates will hit your followers Facebook profiles.
Sure, keep building those Facebook "likes" but start building targeted Twitter followers and tribes on other social networks where your target audience is reading, viewing and connecting.
More reading: How to Build a Targeted Twitter Tribe of 100,000
Step 6. Market on Multiple Social Networks
Content needs to be set free to roam and be shared on multiple social networks to give it the best chance of becoming contagious. Publish your articles, posts and videos on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn. Create boards on Pinterest that link back to your blog, website or online store.
Your audience has preferences, so make it easy for them to discover and engage with you and your content on their social network of choice.
More reading: 5 Insights on Facebook vs Pinterest in Driving Sales plus Infographic
Step 7. Sell Premium Content and Services
So you have been giving away content for free. Now to cash in you need to provide premium content and services that they will buy. This could a book on Amazon or it could be a seminar or webinar. People will pay a premium for an experience or for something that is packaged that will save them time.
More reading: My New Book – Blogging the Smart Way is an Amazon Best Seller
Step 8. Persist
Social media marketing is not broadcast once and set and forget. Step one to seven need to be repeated time and time again. It is not a sprint but a marathon. Monitor what works and what doesn't.
Keep publishing, build those tribes and be relentless.
Your social media marketing will evolve as the landscape continues to change and morph. Smartphones and tablets are rocking the online boat so optimizing your content so that it is visible and readable on mobile devices is becoming essential.
What About You?
Has your business gone from local to global? Are you displaying your knowledge and expertise to a world wide audience?
How has social media helped you achieve that? Is Facebook your main social network or are you using Twitter and YouTube as well?
What social media works for you?
Look forward to hearing your success stories.

I cannot stress how important this is. It is your home base that you own and control.
Do not build your home base on Facebook or Google+.
Sure go and secure your brand on those networks but make sure the main hub is under your domain and self hosted.
Build up your search engine optimization for your domain not someone else

Fayette Mourns Slain Officers, Dispatcher
Officer Down: Cpl James Crump - [Fayette, Alabama]
FAYETTE - Much of this town is grieving over the sudden, violent deaths of two police officers and a dispatcher. But the night shift at Sonic is taking it especially tough.
Forget about cops and their doughnuts. Cpl. James Crump was a chili pie man.
Every shift he was there, at the drive-up restaurant across Second Avenue from the Fayette police station.
"`Just checking on y'all to make sure everything's OK,'" night crew leader, Anthony Finch, 17, remembers Crump saying again and again. "He was a great guy, and he loved chili pies."
The burly officer didn't hide in his big blue cruiser. He made himself comfortable on the outside patio, sometimes downing two shakes at a time.
"He let me off a bunch of tickets," Finch remembers with a grin little stuff, like a loud car stereo.
And when Finch's car got broken into, Crump was extra vigilant, trying to find out who was responsible and stepping up his presence in the Sonic lot so that would not happen to any of the other mostly teenagers at work there.
"These kids have cried for two days. I almost had to close the doors," said Sonic manager Jeffery Campbell.
A Styrofoam drink cup on his desk holds donations.
Even the boss is impressed. Campbell said the teens, with their paychecks of $40 to $50 a week, have collected $100 for flowers for the slain officers.
The Sonic crew misses Crump, along with Officer Arnold Strickland and police dispatcher Leslie "Ace" Mealer, also regulars at the drive-up.
All three died Saturday inside the police station as a suspect was being booked on receiving stolen property charges. Devan Darnell Moore, 18, was arrested hours later in a Lowndes County, Miss., pasture in a police cruiser taken in Fayette. Authorities have said the suspect took Strickland's gun.
Moore faces capital murder charges in the deaths and will be arraigned today in Fayette.
Outside the police station, flowers, cards and balloons in memory of the slain men faded under Sunday sunshine.
Borrowed police officers from surrounding jurisdictions patrolled Fayette, a town of 5,000. The 14-person police squad rushed in after the early Saturday shootings, said investigator Sam Black, who returned Sunday after a 14-hour day assisting ABI and FBI agents Saturday.
Black said there had been a massive outpouring of support from the community, food and cards. After all, he said, in Fayette people bring homebaked goods to the police just on typical days.
Strickland, who everyone just called "Arnold," was a veteran lawman who worked previously in the Fayette County Sheriff's Department and smaller agencies in western Alabama.
A sign was still taped to his apartment door Sunday. "Day Sleeper," it read.
Neighbor Tiffany Morrison, 20, used to run into him early every morning as he walked his Boston terrier, Duchess.
She said Strickland told her police work was relaxing. "I don't think he ever worried about it here."
As a reserve officer planning to join a police force when she turns 21, Morrison knew all of the slain men. Crump worked out at her gym. "He was a power lifter. He was stout," she said.
She recalls him talking about wanting to join a larger department because "nothing ever happens here," she said.
Morrison's sister Angela Morrison spoke fondly of Mealer. The dispatcher and her fiance, Randy Pennington, were best friends. Mealer spent many of his off days with the couple, who last saw him Monday, when he showed up to help wax a truck.
"Whatever needed to be done, that's what he did," Angela Morrison said.
But not before his Sunday ritual. He'd get off work at 7 a.m. and spend the day with his father who is battling cancer, Morrison said.
Mealer had worked to improve his own health in the last two years, losing 100 pounds. For the first time in years, he felt well and looked better. He'd finally started to come out of his shell.
"A lot of people didn't know him because he was so shy," she said. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The period of The Great Impeachment has been followed by a period of intense retrospection. This is the process that has occupied Congress during most of October 2007, when for the first time in American history an entire Administration was unceremoniously dumped from office. One by one, every Bush appointee has been accused and duly convicted of a large variety of criminal offenses, including trumping up non-existent weapons of mass destruction and other fake evidence before launching a major war, disregarding the universal public cry for disengagement from Iraq, politicizing the Justice system, corrupting the health system, theologizing science, increasing global warming, feeding corporate interests, lying under oath, suppressing FBI reports, engaging in warrantless wiretapping, packing the Supreme Court, and other recurrent shows of malfeasance and incompetence.
After Congress finally agreed to act against these offenses, however, the new government decided it would be wasteful to completely reject the considerable resources and talents of the previous administration. When President Nancy Pelosi took office in November of 2007 she proposed, after consultation with Vice President Michael Moore, that a number of former Bush officials be allowed to remain in Washington in order to perform certain tasks and duties that she and members of her cabinet might be too busy to handle.
Former President Bush, for example, has been invited to take on the role of Official Greeter. Whenever Pelosi is preparing to travel abroad on Air Force One, Bush will be asked to put on his blue suit and precede her, in erect military posture, a few strands of sprayed hair floating in the wind, either yanked by his lively dog or yanking along his reluctant wife, smiling and waving at the crowds, saluting generals, pointing happily at people he pretends to recognize. He is particularly well-suited for this position because of a hearing problem that prevents him from knowing when he is being booed.
Former Vice President Cheney has been appointed Official Appointee. He will have no powers, only titles, his chief function being to whisper behind his hand into the ear of the Official Greeter, as the latter walks, waves and smiles his way through the booing crowds. He will also serve as Honorary President of the National Rifle Association, a title that permits him to travel freely with his favorite hunting rifle, the only stipulation being that the warning theme from Jaws be played whenever another human being is approaching.
The President's former press secretary, Tony Snow, is to be given a permanent part in a touring production of Alice in the Wonderland playing the Dormouse, so he can indulge his redoubtable penchant for chop logic, confusing reporters and himself at every turn with contradictory arguments, running around in circles, in perpetual spin.
Alberto Gonzalez, Bush's disgraced Attorney General, will be installed as the new President of a Foundation for Alzheimer's Disease, where his rambling speeches dotted with phrases like "I don't recall" and "I don't recollect" will stimulate giving by wealthy donors, concerned over the growing loss of memory in America.
Michael Chertoff, former head of Homeland Security, will become an executive in a clothing factory -- the seat-of-the-pants division -- where he can put his unparallelled talent for unsupported speculation about, say, the date of the next terrorist attack, to a useful industrial purpose.
Karl Rove, Bush's former Deputy Chief of Staff, will be appointed roving Ambassador to the Middle East, positioned to help rig any democratic elections pending in Iraq, Iran, or Palestine to make sure they are won by Republicans.
President Pelosi is currently welcoming proposals from the public about how other members of the late Bush administration might at last become of some use to the nation. If you have any ideas, please send them along.

Several Tigers suddenly are hitting the way Billy Butler hits Justin Verlander.
Almost everyone who played for the Tigers in Sunday's 9-4 win over the Royals is on a hot streak. Everyone in Sunday's lineup contributed to the 16-hit compilation, and the only starter who had neither a run scored nor an RBI was Victor Martinez, the Tigers' best hitter this season.
The Tigers have won five straight. The streak began in Chicago the night the Tigers didn't have an extra-base hit and Bryan Holaday bunted home the winner. In this three-game sweep, the Tigers had more extra-base hits (18) than the Royals ...

Motorola ROKR E6 premiering in China
updated 11:40 am EST, Mon November 27, 2006
ROKR E6 premieres in China
Motorola's long-awaited upgrade to the ROKR line, the E6, is now being distributed in China. The primary feature of the phone is a 2.4-inch QVGA touchscreen, which is unusual for devices below the smartphone level. The E6 also has a full-sized SD card slot, allowing it to store up to 2GB of music. Motorola has jettisoned iTunes for the phone, however, and so is using RealPlayer to handle MP3, MPEG4, AAC+, WAV, and RealAudio files. A2DP Bluetooth stereo is supported and there are dedicated playback buttons on the side. Other notable features of the E6 include a 2-megapixel cameraphone, handwriting recognition, a document viewer, and barcode and business card scanners.
While the phone is only being sold in China the the moment, American users may be able to take advantage of it through the T-Mobile network, since its been upgraded after the FCC filing to support the GSM 900 and 1800 bands. The phone is selling for 4,280 yuan ($545) at retail.

Less than a week after dozens of environmental activists rallied outside its annual meeting, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District has reversed course and decided to at least temporarily halt the sale of water to oil and gas drillers.
The water was to be used in the controversial hydraulic fracturing process, during which millions of gallons of water -- mixed with chemicals and sand -- are blasted underground to widen existing fissures in mineral-rich shale rock.
Those opposed to "fracking" argued in a protest this past weekend that these deals were hypocritical when the seller was supposed to be engaged in conservation of public resources. On Thursday, they praised the temporary moratorium.
"There is much scientific information and public opinion to be gathered about the proposed water sales," a statement from the Ohio Environmental Council reads. "Today's announcement encourages us that the MWCD staff is serious about engaging sound science and the public in resolving this contentious issue."
The announcement energized at least a few of the anti-fracking crowd, some of whom had been traveling to conservancy district meetings for months.
"I believe this is also another good sign that if people do continue to rally together and collaborate on this important issue of unconventional shale drilling and massive water withdrawals, that progress can be made for the sake of public benefit and our long-term preservation of precious natural resources," Lea Harper, a member of the Southeast Ohio Alliance to Save Our Water, wrote in a statement.
The district already was awaiting results of a study from the U.S. Geological Survey on water availability at three of the district's man-made reservoirs -- Atwood Lake (Carroll County), Clendening Lake (Harrison) and Leesville Lake (Carroll). Those findings are expected sometime this year, the district's spokesman said.
"We believe strongly that it is in the best interest of the public we serve and the conservancy district to not entertain any water supply requests until this study has been completed and the MWCD has had an opportunity to update its water supply policy for review, public discussion and consideration of the MWCD Board of Directors," district Executive Director John Hoopingarner said in a prepared statement. "We want to fully understand the concerns of interested groups and the public, and ensure that each step in the process is transparent and open for public review."
At its April meeting, the district's board signed an agreement -- to the disgust of environmentalists in attendance -- with Gulfport Energy, of Houston, to withdraw 11 million gallons of water from Clendening Lake at a cost of $99,000.
That is the only deal that had been reached and it will be fully honored, district spokesman Darrin Lautenschleger said Thursday. Gulfport already has begun withdrawals, he said.
Speakers, including representatives of several prominent Ohio environmental advocacy groups, called out the conservancy group's administration during a planned protest outside the Tuscarawas County Courthouse on Saturday, when the board was hosting its annual meeting.
District leadership explained to the Conservancy Court -- a panel of 18 county common pleas court judges that appoints board members, among other supervisory duties -- how the sale of water to drillers was justified by their mission, legal authority and ethos of environmental stewardship.
Lautenschleger said Thursday that none of that justification had changed. He denied they ever were moving quickly to accommodate drillers.
"We want to ensure that the decisions that are made are made in a transparent manner and include the public in the process," he said.
A previous study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seemed to validate the district's position as it showed minimal water level effects from multimillion gallon withdrawals at their lakes even in the low-flow season. Lautenschleger said the ongoing USGS study will "be very comprehensive."
Also on hold will be any expansion of water supply to Cadiz, Lautenschleger said. The Harrison County village has approached the board about reworking its water purchase agreement to allow for greater withdrawals from Tappan Lake. That extra water would then be sold to drillers for a markup, with the profits, according to the village's stated plan, going to upgrade their public water system.

It was too early in the Big Ten season to be a must-win game Sunday, but the Gophers couldn't afford to fall into old, bad habits.
Senior Austin Hollins could sense that another loss might doom his team's confidence to open conference play.
After all, Hollins experienced losing streaks far too many times in the past. So he did his part with 18 points to help Minnesota get its first Big Ten win, 82-79, against Purdue in front of 11,851 at Williams Arena.
"It was big," said Hollins, who responded after a two-point performance in Thursday's loss to Michigan. "When you lose that one game, sometimes you can lose your confidence and start doubting yourself. But I think the guys were really focused today. They knew we could come in here and win this game."
Hollins was a sophomore starter when the Gophers opened the Big Ten season 0-4 in 2011-12. They also lost six straight conference games that season.
Instead of starting 0-2 in the Big Ten this year, the Gophers (12-3) made sure to split back-to-back conference home games after a disappointing 63-60 home loss Thursday against Michigan.
If Minnesota can keep shooting well, it has a good chance to pull off its first Big Ten road win Wednesday at Penn State.
The Gophers were 52.2 percent from the field Sunday, compared with just 39.6 percent against the Wolverines.
Hollins, who went 0 for 6 from three-point range Thursday, hit four of the team's 11 three-pointers against Purdue (10-5, 0-2), tying the previous season high against Montana.
"I think I was taking a lot better shots in this game," said Hollins, who had 13 first-half points. "When that first shot went down, I think it really helped me to get into rhythm."
Junior Andre Hollins, who finished with 17 points for Minnesota, got more comfortable offensively but in a different way Sunday. He scored the majority of his 12 first-half points on 9-for-11 shooting from the free-throw line.
Gophers coach Richard Pitino, who picked up his first Big Ten win, challenged Hollins to draw more fouls by being aggressive attacking the basket.
"I thought he did a really good job of getting fouled," Pitino said. "It's early in the season. He was settling too much for jump shots. He's a great foul shooter. He's one of the best in the history of our program."
Senior guard Malik Smith actually was leading the team in free-throw shooting at 88.9 percent entering Sunday's game.
Smith, who had all of his 10 points in the second half, helped the Gophers escape a 31-16 run by the Boilermakers that nearly erased their 19-point second-half lead.
He hit four straight free throws with less than 25 seconds remaining. But Smith felt like he let his teammates down with two misses from the foul line with four seconds left.
He was holding his breath when Kendall Stephens' desperation three-pointer to tie the game fell short at the buzzer.
"I can't remember when was the last time I missed two free throws in a row," Smith said. "I guess I wanted to make it interesting. Coach puts me back in the game to pretty much ice it in those situations."
Purdue was eager to get its first conference win, especially after playing third-ranked Ohio State tough in a 78-69 home loss last week.
But sophomore center A.J. Hammons, who had 18 points and 16 rebounds against the Buckeyes, was held to just seven points and one rebound in 22 minutes.
Gophers junior Elliott Eliason outplayed Hammons with eight points, seven rebounds and six blocks in 33 minutes.
Eliason was encouraged to play for extended stretches after getting into early foul trouble against Michigan.
"It's just picking your spots, knowing when to be aggressive and when not to be," Eliason said. "It's different every game. You're going to make mistakes and make the wrong decision. But it's definitely an experience to learn about Big Ten officiating."

Per: I cannot make the workshop, but thanks for the invite.
You'll find higher likelihood of snow and ice in the Kolob Canyons area, but you've got to walk for the images. There is very little that is roadside. It may just be dumb luck, but I've been in very icy and very snowy conditions both in the main canyon and in the Kolob Canyons the last couple of winters. I got that without really trying for it. Timing is everything.
Have fun!

(KSDK) - The unaccredited Normandy School District held a back to school rally for families with students returning this fall.
The school district is set to lose 1,500 transfer students.
The transfers will take about one quarter of the district's annual budget.
Administrators with the Normandy School District held the back to school rally to help show its support for those students who decided not to transfer.
The event was met with a huge following; hundreds of students came out.
Honor Roll student Danyel Ross is one student determined to stay within the district. She says she hopes other students will decide to return to Normandy as well.
She told Newschannel 5 Reporter Steve Patterson "You have to stay so you can help us bounce back, get our accreditation back, and so we can graduate from the school we originally came from."
Administrators say they hope to gain new some new ground with parents.
At Saturday's event, they made sure to point out a renewed focus on doing better, with new programs focusing on literacy, attendance and performance.

I've been thinking a lot about decorating bedrooms lately, this time for my son.
When we were buying bedding for the crib, we settled on Dwell Baby. We got the motif crib set and have been very pleased with its kid- and adult-friendly colors and patterns:
For a more traditional but still-stylish approach (think toile and sweet ginghams) I like Whistle and Wink, which I found through the excellent baby style blog Droolicious.
Now that our crib is in order, I'm coveting blankets for the winter from Huckleberry Friends.
I think this one has my son's name on it:
Got any tips for decorating nurseries? Share them below or post your baby-room pictures at Rate My Space.

Proof of how good the gas boom is for construction
Posted By Tom Jackson On May 25, 2012 @ 11:40 am In Construction Blog | No Comments
News is coming hot and heavy in the mainstream media about the benefits of natural gas as a fuel replacment for diesel. [2] With the mutiple discoveries of shale gas in Texas, Pennsylvania and North Dakota, the price is coming down and the oil companies are jumping on the bandwagon. We won't repeat what's being said elsewhere, but it's worth reminding everybody of how important this boom is to the people with heavy equipment capablities.
Our Contractor of the Year for 2011, Bryan Force, was a high school graduate with one truck and lot of pluck who started hauling water for the drillers in the Marcellus shale of western Pennsylvania. Ten years later he had grown his business to $20 million in revenue–all based on construction and paving services to the drilling industry. Read his story here. [3] It's proof that there is still opportunity in America if you're willing to roll up your sleeves and go after it.

A former Secret Service agent played by Gerard Butler has to save the president when commandos storm the White House in 'Olympus Has Fallen.' Phil Caruso
- Filed Under
Antoine Fuqua looked to the White House to find his new hero's cinematic journey.
The director also puts former Secret Service man Mike Banning (played by Gerard Butler) in a seriously high-stakes situation when a group of North Korean commandos storm that famous Washington home, and it's up to Banning to save the president (Aaron Eckhart) in Olympus Has Fallen, in theaters March 22.
Fuqua grew up on action dramas like Invasion USA that featured one-man armies against foreign invaders, but with Olympus he went the classic Joseph Campbell route for Banning: The security officer has had a ...

Six Ways the Supreme Court Could Rule on Obamacare
9:01 AM, Oct 3, 2011 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
4. The Supreme Court could declare the individual mandate unconstitutional and also void the law's "guaranteed issue" and "community rating" provisions (provisions that, in tandem, would require insurers to cover all applicants without charging higher premiums to those with expensive preexisting conditions), while upholding the rest of the legislation. This is essentially how U.S. District Court judge Christopher Conner ruled. In the drafting of the legislation, these mandates were inextricably linked. Without the individual mandate, the requirement that insurers cover everyone with expensive preexisting conditions — without charging them higher premiums — would simply lead to people waiting until they are already ill or injured before signing up for "insurance" to pay for their care.
Again, this point has been made quite well by the White House: "If insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to anyone who applies for insurance — especially those who have health problems and are potentially more expensive to cover — then there is nothing stopping someone from waiting until they're sick or injured to apply for coverage since insurance companies can't say no. That would lead to double digit premiums increases — up to 20% — for everyone with insurance, and would significantly increase the cost [of] health care spending nationwide."
It would seem that if the individual mandate is struck down, then the mandates requiring coverage of those with preexisting conditions ("guaranteed issue") at the same premiums as everyone else ("community rating") must be struck down as well.
5. It could strike down the individual mandate and the rest of the legislation along with it. U.S. District Court judge Roger Vinson ruled in this manner, arguing that since the individual mandate is "the keystone or lynchpin of the entire health reform effort," upon its removal the entire act must be invalidated. Vinson wrote,
"[T]his Act has been analogized to a finely crafted watch, and that seems to fit. It has approximately 450 separate pieces, but one essential piece (the individual mandate) is defective and must be removed. It cannot function as originally designed. There are simply too many moving parts in the Act and too many provisions dependent (directly and indirectly) on the individual mandate and other health insurance provisions — which...were the chief engines that drove the entire legislative effort — for me to try and dissect out the proper from the improper, and the able-to-stand-alone from the unable-to-stand-alone. Such a quasi-legislative undertaking would be particularly inappropriate in light of the fact that any statute that might conceivably be left over after this analysis is complete would plainly not serve Congress' main purpose and primary objective in passing the Act."
6. It could decide that the states lack legal standing to bring the suit at this time, thereby postponing challenges to Obamacare's constitutionality until after the election and likely until after its full implementation (in January of 2014) — if it's not repealed first.
Whichever way the Court rules, and by whatever vote, three things are important to remember:
First, while the justices have the final say on whether Obamacare will be treated as being unconstitutional or not, and while their judgment should be respected and observed, they have no claim to infallibility. In other words, no private citizen should feel compelled to yield to the rightness of the justices' decision, only to its authority — an important distinction that Lincoln made clear in response to Dred Scott.
Second, as Chief Justice John Marshall said in McCulloch v. Maryland, "The peculiar circumstances of the moment may render a measure more or less wise, but cannot render it more or less constitutional." In other words, the wisdom and the constitutionality of legislation are two distinctly different things, and Obamacare is an unprecedented threat to Americans' liberty, the nation's fiscal solvency, and the basic relationship between the government and the people — regardless of whether the Court rules that it is also unconstitutional.
Third, all but one of the six possible holdings by the Court (#5 — striking down the legislation in full) would still require a political resolution. In all likelihood, therefore, the fate of Obamacare will be determined not by a decision of the Court, but by the success or failure of the repeal movement — which in turn will likely be decided by the presidential election.

Amitabh Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan has sung a lot of hit songs, be it in the 80s or now. Songs like, 'Mere angne mein, tumhara kya kaam hai,' 'Rang barse, bhige chunarwali,' were sung by him. He sung 'Main yahan tu wahaan' in Baghban which was a hit too. K3G, Babul, BhoothNath, and Bol Bachchan are other movies in which he has used his voice to woo the audience.
Aamir Khan
Oh yes, Amir Khan, Mr. Perfect, had sung 'Aati Kya Khandala' in his fim, Ghulam. The song became an instant hit. 'Ae kya bolti tu' is still the fanciest line we hear among the youth.
Shahrukh Khan
You'll be delighted to know that Shahrukh Khan (SRK) sang a song even before he did in Jab Tak Hai Jaan. But to everyone's surprise he first sang, 'Apun bola tu meri laila' in his movie Josh (2000). It is rumoured that he'll also be singing in his upcoming film Happy New Year.
Madhuri Dixit Nene
Not many know that Madhuri Dixit Nene, the Dhak-Dhak girl/ (dancing diva) of Bollywood also sang a song in her movie Devdas (2002). In her upcoming film 'Gulaab Gang' she'll be singing along with her mother, Snehlata Dixit. It'll be the first time for an actress to sing with her mother.

Vic Firth artist Trey Gray hails from South Bend, IN, but made the move to Nashville in 1990. Trey got his first big break at the end of 1993 when he got the gig with a new female artist named Faith Hill. Trey played with Faith all the way through 2000. During those years Trey appeared on every t.v. show from Leno to Letterman, The Grammy's to the Diva's, tons of award shows, and countless music videos.

|Association between Low Birth Weight and High Adult Waist-to-Height Ratio in Non-Obese Women: A Cross-sectional Study in a Japanese Population.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23076258 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Low birth weight has been associated with cardiovascular diseases. The waist-to-height ratio is a good indicator of risks for these diseases. The objective of this study was to examine the associations between birth weight and adult waist-to-height ratio in a Japanese population. A cross-sectional study, comprised of 851 subjects (401 men and 450 women) aged 35-62 years who were born at full term, was conducted at a medical checkup. The subjects responded to a questionnaire about weight at birth, and data on physical characteristics were collected from the results of the medical checkup. The subjects were stratified with sex and a Body Mass Index of 25 kg/m(2) to elucidate the effects of birth weight on adult waist-to-height ratio. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the physical condition among the 4 birth weight categories. After adjusting for age, alcohol consumption, smoking status and exercise, the height was significantly lower in the birth weight < 2,500 g category among men (P < 0.001) and women (P < 0.001), while the waist-to-height ratio was significantly higher in the birth weight < 2,500 g category, compared with the > 3,500 g category in the non-obese women (P = 0.004), but not in the obese women. In conclusion, low birth weight was independently associated with a low adult height among men and women and with a high adult waist-to-height ratio among non-obese women. Our results suggest that intrauterine environmental insults might lead to accumulation of visceral fat among non-obese women.

Dear Amy: A year ago my husband was laid off and had trouble finding work.
Because of how long it took for him to find another job we had to give up our apartment and move in with my in-laws. We pay rent and help pay for food. My life has become a living hell. My brother-in-law has been verbally and physically abusive toward my husband and me. He is bipolar and his parents act like his behavior is normal.
My mother-in-law treats me as if I'm a maid. I'm blamed whenever something goes wrong. She also has tried to push us about how we should raise our two sons. ...

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle
Hospitals are boring
open topic, for anything cycling related.
Re: Hospitals are boring
^^ True and I found out very quickly, that I couldn't pull it out myself because I had a go at it, when they wouldn't pull it out when I asked.
You can't do that Gary because there is a balloon at the end of it.
I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.

My GLW would argue with that Foo, she's seen a few self removals and delighted in telling me of the bloody results and what has to be done afterwards

Crikey, I'm starting to hope my seat post fails just so I can get this thread out of my mind...
Re: Hospitals are boring
It makes me wonder how many readers are now thinking "gee, those recumbent seats look much gentler around the valuable region..."
I'm sure glad my seats can't fail in this fashion
Re: Hospitals are boring
So, how is the healing process going Skull, no infections or nastiness like that I hope?

Re: Hospitals are boring
Yeah it seems to be coming along fine.
I have cut back on the endone and the pain has been fine.
I am keen to get back to work, in fact I feel like I could go back now with the exception of needing to shower after every time I go to the loo.
Re: Hospitals are boring
Damn you, made me look
I'm glad I had lunch early today. Normally I would have been stuffing my face as I read this.
Seriously though, good to hear you are progressing well.
Re: Hospitals are boring
You use the toilets at work??!?!! What is WRONG with you?!

I ride, therefore I am.

Re: Hospitals are boring
What can I say I am a regular .
But yeah some peoples toilet cleanliness and hygiene at that place has a lot to be desired
Re: Hospitals are boring
Bringing this back up.
Still cannot ride but have finally gone back to work. Anyway as I am missing riding I have started fiddling around with my bike. The wife has gotten some replacement bolts and I have put them on.
During this I decided to look up on line for any torque settings and found this
Exactly what happened to me, except I did get a post up my rear end and worse. The same thing happened on my other bike but I at least avoided the injury.
Who should I contact about this problem? It is most obviously a design fault.
Re: Hospitals are boring
Contact the manufacturer, cc the consumer protection body in your state. If it's a good company, they'll apologise and try to make amends. If they only give you grief, or you're not satisfied, use the net. I suspect they'll play nicely. I've heard of lots of product recalls based on problems like yours. From what you've posted here there have been a few instances of clamp failure. If they haven't already done so, they should be issuing a recall.

Re: Hospitals are boring
many years ago I had to have a sigmoidoscope examination, and I unwisely rode my bike to the doctor's rooms. Fine on the way there, but I had to stand up on the pedals all the way home............
yes, I know it was a dumb thing to do.
take my advice: don't ride home after the surgery.
Please be nice to me, I'm not very bright.

Re: Hospitals are boring
I am getting back on the bike next week
Have seemed to have healed reasonably well. I managed to do some runs and gym work to stop me going mental.
The next few weeks I will just do easy rides to get comfortable again as the area is still a bit tender and fragile. After that I need to get cracking as I am 1700km behind my marker to reach my 15K goal for this year.
I won't let this stop me from getting there.
Re: Hospitals are boring
Did you replace the post's bolts or just buy another post? If you bought a new post, which one?
Re: Hospitals are boring
Great to hear some good news.
Let me help you with the maths. 15K per year is about 1250 km per month, and you've been off it for
about a month now. I'm hoping you're thinking you'll only get 50% of the planned km in over the next
month, and added that into your 1700 km behind figure.
If you do just 50% of Plan A this month, it will leave you needing to put in about 1450 km per month
for the rest of the year - maybe 13% more than you'd planned. Might even be worth thinking about
pedaling a bit less over the next month - you could still make it up, and could help avoid re-injury

You are a braver man than me... I tore a quad in a bike accident - but I dont know how excited I'd be to climb straight back on if I'd had an injury as horrific as this. I read this thread when it started and it still makes my eyes water now.
Re: Hospitals are boring
Not in hospital (yet), but being home and incapacitated is pretty boring too
Saturday before last I was riding down Killala Rd into Apollo Bay (a delightful road to ride), after crossing the Otways and coming down the delightful Old Bay Road. I was riding with two friends. I had had just stopped an taken a few photos, then caught up to them when they waited for a mob of sheep, and I went on ahead a bit. I came over a short rise, then was rolling downhill at about 25-30 kmh. I saw a roadside apple tree and began to brake to see whether the apples were ripe........................................
That's about all I recall, apart from a feeling of gravel on my arm and side.
I was roused by my friends, and stood up quick, but the shoulder felt sore when I grabbed the bike. They made me sit down again as I'd been out cold for 1-2 minutes. They rounded a corner to find me spread-eagled across the road. It seems that my front tyre must have slid sideways on some loose gravel as I was braking to slow. It truly puzzles me as the road was a good gravel surface and I did not do anything too radical. I went down very quick and hard - knocked out, busted helmet.
A helpful local drove me and the bike to Apollo Bay hospital.
Up-shot of it all - I have a broken collar-bone, and I suspect a cracked rib as well. The collar-bone is an overlapped break with 3cms of fore-shortening, so it seems an orthopedic surgeon's advice is needed. I see one on Friday, then it may be surgery. In the meantime I am surviving on a steady diet of paracetamol and ibuprofen
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Hospitals are boring
Wow, heavy! Hope you get better soon.

1975 Horatio Alger Award Winner
"Have a purpose in your life, imbue your work with quality, and leave some beauty."
Born Elena Francesca Stephanie Franzolin to immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York, Helen Boehm was the fifth of six children. Her father was a cabinet maker. Her mother instilled traditional Italian values in her daughters, training them in the domestic arts of sewing and cooking. When Boehm's father died when she was 12, her mother worked at home, embroidering linen. In junior high, Boehm began sewing dresses for her classmates, charging 50 cents per dress. Her social life was sheltered in the Italian tradition. "My mother was my chaperone," she said, "and I was my sister's chaperone. We couldn't go anywhere without our chaperone."
After graduating high school, Boehm went to work as a receptionist for the family's optometrist. While visiting her brother at the Air Force Convalescent Center in New York, she met Edward Boehm, who was sculpting with wet clay. He told her that sculpting was only a hobby; at the time, he was working as a veterinarian's assistant. After a short, chaperoned courtship of two months, the couple married.
Boehm encouraged her husband to devote full time to his sculpting. While he worked at home, she went to night school and earned an optician's license. She became the first woman to dispense eye glasses in New York City.
In 1950, the couple set up a small studio in Trenton, New Jersey. During her lunch hours, Boehm took her husband's animal porcelains around to nearby stores. Her persistence paid off when the Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased two pieces for the museum. The following year, Boehm quit her job to become her husband's full-time sales representative and public relations expert.
In 1959, after hearing that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip would be visiting the White House, Boehm wrote to President Eisenhower and suggested her husband be commissioned to create a porcelain statue of Prince Philip on his polo pony as a state gift. The now famous "Polo Pony" propelled Boehm's work into international prominence.
In 1969, Boehm's husband died of a heart attack, but she vowed to carry forward their business. Boehm traveled the world, showcasing the porcelain of the Edward Marshall Boehm Studio. Boehm Porcelain sculptures are now exhibited in 131 museums and institutions throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The White House, Buckingham Palace, The Heritage, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and an entire wing of the Vatican Museum, which has been named for Edward Boehm--the only Vatican museum not named for a pope.
Helen Boehm resided in Palm Beach, Florida. Her interests included showing classic automobiles and supporting the Boehm Polo team. Despite her success, she never forgot the values of honesty, humility, and charity. "I try to remain who I am," said Boehm. "Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground."* Deceased

Covenant Community Services CEO, Randy Martin, recently spoke to teachers and staff at the South Fork Union School District about the population of children they are teaching. The audience was surprised and appalled to hear the child abuse rates in their area. According to the Kern County Network for Children's Report Card 2008, the South Fork region (Weldon, South Lake, Onyx) has the 2nd highest rate per capita for child abuse and neglect. This means there is an extreme at-risk population that needs to be reached. Statistics show that children with grade-level reading capabilities stand a better chance of overcoming their "at-risk" status.
Covenant organized a small book drive that would enable each child in the elementary school to receive one book. However, because of the generosity of Covenant supporters, 601 books were collected and delivered to the children in grades K-4th. A special assembly was organized by Principal Robin Shive, and each child had the opportunity to sort through the books and pick out 4 that they would like to take home. Two members of the Covenant staff attended the assembly, and shared with the children the purpose of Covenant—to provide hope and love to children in need. The children were extremely excited to receive books. With smiles on their faces, and anticipation in the air, children explored the many books and chose stories they were excited to read. And, in addition to a huge "thank you!" yelled out by all the students, several students individually offered heart-felt thanks.
Principal Robin Shive expressed her immense gratitude and shared how these books will make a huge difference in not only in academics, but in home-life as well. Covenant continues to provide hope and love to children who are abused or at-risk; book drives, summer camps and birthday parties are the expression of that hope and love. For more information on how you can get involved contact Covenant at 661.326.8304.
Covenant Community Services is a faith-based, nonprofit organization serving the public through various social services including: foster care placement, transitional housing, mentoring, mental health and family preservation services.

New Disney XD Promo And Character Bios For CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
It seems most of this week has been dominated by new clips, trailers, teasers, and set visits for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We were spoiled earlier with a four-minute video split between a two-minute clip with Batroc the Leaper and a newly cut two-minute trailer. Today we get a few more Winter Soldier goodies in the form of a Disney XD promo reintroducing us to Cap and some of his new allies as well as some updated character bios from the official Marvel site for the highly-anticipated film directed by the Russo brothers.
Disney XD ran a special promo for the film today with the featurette title of "Reassemble." It doesn't feature more than a flash or two of new footage, but it gives us a down and dirty rundown of what has been going on since The Avengers. Disney has been pushing out a lot of fantastic featurettes, posters, and other promotional material the last few months, but we can probably expect to see more videos like this playing on the Disney family of networks as we get closer to the April 4th release.
Marvel.Com has also upped their Cap game by updating the character bios for the film today (with a tip of the hat to @_NerdyGeek_). We pretty well know Steve Rogers' story, but his bio adds that he is "living a quiet life in Washington D.C., struggling to adjust to his new life, when he is drawn into a web of intrigue and danger to unmask a powerful but shadowy enemy that threatens to put the world at risk." The updated bio for Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow plays up her credentials before it closes with "Black Widow returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to take on new assignments, only to find herself joining forces with Captain America to expose an ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off assailants sent to silence them at every turn." The ones for Winter Soldier, Falcon and the mysterious Alexander Pierce are a little meatier though.
Winter Soldier: Steve Rogers' best friend Bucky Barnes was thought to have died in World War II. However, he resurfaces decades later as the Winter Soldier, a brainwashed, mega-enhanced Super-Soldier doing dirty work for a mysterious organization. The hardened Winter Soldier has no memories of his former identity and that suits him just fie- he is simply a killing machine.
Sam Wilson aka Falcon: Sam Wilson is an ex-military paratrooper who works with veterans in Washington D.C. Secretly trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack, Falcon becoms an indispensable ally when he teams up with Captain America and Black Widow to run a danger-filled race to halt an impending threat in its tracks.
Alexander Pearce: A high-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and personal friend of Nick Fury, Alexander Pierce is respected and politically connected. Often the person who interfaces with prominent world officials, Pierce is polished and well spoken, and presents a credible face to the world on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D.
So there's your Captain America blast to help close out the week. What do you think about the new promo and bios?

How to write client mobile application - read publication or sqlite table?
Aug 16, 2012 4:51 AM
Hi All,
Trying to learn about Oracle Database Mobile Server.
Installed the server, installed the client on WIN 32, created a publication and successfully synchronized.
Now need to write a client application for mobile users.
Qs 1) Can I write a simple JSP that reads a table from device SQLITE database?
or, the JSP needs to read off a subscrption?
If it needs a subscription as the source, then how do I mention it in the JSP?
2) Can anybody provide an example of such a Client program please
Thanks & Regards
