Custom hot key programming with acpid
Key In
A little research from the command line and a short script bends your keyboard to your will.
Linux support for laptops has improved by leaps and bounds in the last decade. At this point, if you buy a laptop from any of the major manufacturers and load a Linux distro with a reasonably recent kernel version, things pretty much "just work" – problems with proprietary display drivers aside.
What can sometimes not work, however, are some of the vendor-specific hot keys on the keyboard. For example, I do a lot of presentations, and I'd like the hot key that's supposed to switch between my laptop display and an external monitor (Fn+F7 on my ThinkPad) to work under Linux. In this article, I describe my solution for this problem and offer some pointers for customizing hot key events.
Getting to Know acpid
Most Linux systems support ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface [1]), a popular standard for device configuration and power management. The ACPI standard specifies a structure for defining and customizing hardware events. In Linux, the acpid daemon [2] listens for ACPI events and maps each event to an action. Hot key events are typically handled by acpid.
The trick to customizing your hot key configuration is getting acpid to divulge exactly which event numbers are occurring when you press a particular button. The easiest way to do this is to put acpid into debugging mode with the -d switch. To do this, you need to kill the current acpid process and restart it, as shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1
Kill acpid and Restart in Debug Mode
01 # ps -ef | grep acpid 02 ... 03 root 18847 1 0 11:20 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket 04 # kill 18847 05 # /usr/sbin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket -d
Note that I'm being careful to use the same command-line options that were used in the original acpid invocation; then I add the -d flag to capture the debugging output. At this point, quite a bit of output is directed to your terminal as acpid starts up. Once that output settles down, you can go ahead and hit the hot key you're interested in programming. When I hit Fn+F7 on my laptop, I get a report similar to the output shown in Listing 2.
The relevant bit here is the event identifier, "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007", because you will need this string when you are programming custom events into acpid. The acpid daemon stores the different event actions in configuration files that go into the /etc/acpi/events directory. To see whether a configuration file related to your Fn+F7 events already exists, enter the following code:
# grep -l "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007" /etc/acpi/events/* /etc/acpi/events/ibm-videobtn # cat /etc/acpi/events/ibm-videobtn # /etc/acpi/events/ibm-videobtn # This is called when the user presses the video button. It is # currently a placeholder. event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007 action=/bin/true
As you can see, a configuration file is related to this event, but the final line, action=/bin/true, tells you that pressing this hot key does not switch the monitor. (Note that a close reading of the acpid debugging output In Listing 2 would lead you to the same conclusion.) To get this hot key working, you'll need a little script.
Listing 2
acpid Output for Function Keys
01 acpid: received event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007" 02 acpid: rule from 7044[0:0] matched 03 acpid: notifying client 7044[0:0] 04 acpid: rule from 6812[109:118] matched 05 acpid: notifying client 6812[109:118] 06 acpid: rule from /etc/acpi/events/ibm-videobtn matched 07 acpid: executing action "/bin/true" 08 BEGIN HANDLER MESSAGES 09 END HANDLER MESSAGES 10 acpid: action exited with status 0 11 acpid: 3 total rules matched 12 acpid: completed event "ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007"
Fun with xrandr
To create a script, you'll need a command-line method for controlling the internal and external displays. Happily, modern Linux distributions come with xrandr (short for "X Rotate AND Resize"), which has all the necessary functionality. For example, to discover the current display settings, enter xrandr -q (Listing 3).
Listing 3
Show Current Display Settings
01 $ xrandr -q 02 Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 1920 x 1920 03 VGA connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 519mm x 324mm 04 1920x1200 60.0*+ 05 1600x1200 60.0 60.0 06 1680x1050 60.0 60.0 07 ... 08 LVDS connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 09 1024x768 50.0 + 60.0 60.0 40.0 10 800x600 60.3 56.2 11 640x480 60.0 59.9
In Listing 3, VGA is the external monitor and LVDS is the internal laptop video display. For each display, xrandr lists the various screen resolutions supported and marks the currently active screen(s) with an asterisk (*). In the example shown in Listing 3, the external monitor is running at the maximum resolution of 1920x1200, and the laptop display is currently shut off. Additionally, you can use xrandr to change your video settings (Listing 4).
The xrandr command has a lot of other tricks up its sleeve, including the ability to create a single virtual display out of multiple screens, the ability to rotate screens between portrait and landscape mode, and so on. However, the basic commands I have presented here are sufficient for the needs of this simple example.
Listing 4
Changing Video Settings with xrandr
01 # internal display at max resolution, external display off 02 $ xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA -off 03 04 # internal/external displays showing same 1024x768 screen 05 $ xrandr --output LVDS --auto \ 06 --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --same-as LVDS 07 08 # external display at max resolution and internal display off 09 $ xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA -auto
Getting Your Script On
When I press Fn+F7, I want to rotate through three possible video modes corresponding to the xrandr commands in Listing 4. Those modes are:
- both displays on and showing the same screen
- laptop display only
- external monitor only.
Although I could have added additional options, I figured these modes were the basics of what I needed when giving presentations. If I needed to, I could always just run xrandr from the command line for any additional options.
I freely admit I cribbed a lot of good ideas for this script from an article on the ThinkWiki site [3] (which is a hugely useful site, by the way, even if you are not using a ThinkPad). One of the most critical tricks in this particular situation is to remember that acpid is going to be running your script with root privileges, but the display is owned by the user on the console of the machine. For your script to use xrandr effectively, it needs to run all commands through su to get access to the display as the console user.
My sample Perl script is shown in Listing 5. The ThinkWiki article provides alternative Bash and Python scripts. The first block of code is devoted to figuring out which user is currently on the console. Then the script runs xrandr -q and parses out the configuration of the currently active displays.
Finally, a big if block figures out which state the system is currently in and chooses the appropriate xrandr command to move to the next screen mode.
Listing 5
Sample video-switch Script
01 #!/usr/bin/perl 02 03 use strict; 04 05 my $SU = '/bin/su'; 06 my $WHO = '/usr/bin/who'; 07 my $XRANDR = '/usr/bin/xrandr -d :0'; 08 09 my($consoleuser, $sudcmd) = (); 10 open(WHO, "$WHO |") || die "'who' command failed: $@\n"; 11 while (<WHO>) { 12 if (/\(:0\W/) { 13 ($consoleuser) = (split(/\s+/))[0]; 14 last; 15 } 16 } 17 close(WHO); 18 die "Unable to determine who's on the console" unless (length($consoleuser)); 19 20 my $cmd = "$XRANDR -q"; 21 $cmd = "$SU $consoleuser -c '$cmd'" if ($consoleuser ne 'root'); 22 open(QRY, "$cmd |") || die "'xrandr -q' failed: $@\n"; 23 24 my($curr, %status) = (); 25 while (<QRY>) { 26 if (/ connected /) { 27 $curr = (split(' '))[0]; 28 } 29 elsif (/\*/) { 30 $status{$curr} = (split(' '))[0]; 31 } 32 } 33 close(QRY); 34 35 $cmd = "$XRANDR --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --off"; #failsafe 36 if ($status{'VGA'} && $status{'LVDS'}) { 37 $cmd = "$XRANDR --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --off"; 38 } 39 elsif ($status{'LVDS'}) { 40 $cmd = "$XRANDR --output LVDS --off --output VGA --auto"; 41 } 42 elsif ($status{'VGA'}) { 43 $cmd = "$XRANDR --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --same-as LVDS"; 44 } 45 $cmd = "$SU $consoleuser -c '$cmd'" if ($consoleuser ne 'root'); 46 47 system($cmd);

Nordstrom key revenue figure rose sharply in Dec.
Analysts had expected a revenue increase of 3.4 percent at stores open at least a year, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.
The comparison covered the five weeks ended Dec. 29 and is considered a good indication of retail health as it excludes results from stores opened or closed in the past year.
Nordstrom shares rose $1.37, or 2.6 percent, to $55 in morning trading. Its shares have traded in a range of $46.27 to $58.44,
Overall revenue for December totaled $1.72 billion, up 9.4 percent from the same month in 2011.
The Seattle-based department store operator said sales were particularly strong in the last week of the season, as shoppers got a full weekend before Christmas, which fell on a Tuesday.
Children's and women's clothing and handbags were among the strongest categories, the company said. Sales were strongest in the Midwest and South.
For the first 11 months of Nordstrom's fiscal year, revenue was $10.81 billion, up 10.2 percent from a year ago, and revenue at stores open at least a year were up 7 percent.
Nordstrom has about 240 stores including 117 department stores and 119 Nordstrom Rack outlet locations.

I'd like to spend a few days in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam before hitting some of the islands in the Gulf of Thailand - Phu Quoc (Vietnamese) and Ko Chang (Thailand). It seems daft to return inland when the islands are so close together (plus the added expense of paying the Cambodian visa again). Does anyone know if there is a way through? Thanks very much.

Welcome to Travelfish, juekennedy!
The only way would be if you had your own boat -- unfortunately there is no regular passenger ferries on routes like the one you describe.

Hi all you tandem enthusiasts!
I'm new to this forum, having found it a week ago when trying to catch up on what have happened the last 10 years in the world of tandem bikes... I must say that I have found a a lot of interesting information in this departement.
Circa 93 I bought a 26'' Burley Rock'n roll tandem together with a friend. It had rather cheap Suntour/Sugino components, brakes, rear and front mechs, hubs, and cranks. We used it very little as it was very difficult to ride off road.
1:st rebuild after 2 years; Mavic rear mech, XC pro front mech, XT thumb shifters, XT 8 speed hubs (bolt on rear), Mavic 117 SUP/DT 14G brass nipples, XC pro brakes, XT brake handles, Scott AT4(?) bar, chrome Tange big fork, ligher stem etc. I used this setup for one longer touring vacation without any problems at all.
2:st rebuild 3 weeks ago; new crank setup - se pics from my workshop.
I have used this setup for a week of touring around Denmark without any problems but heavy showers...
My questions
1. I'm going to get me a new rear wheel - what rim, hub, spokes should I buy in order to get the strongest ones?
2. What do you think of my 'right-timing' setup, I'm thinking about getting new cranks - any ideas?
//Thanks in advance!

Everyone should try dog sledding at least once. It's one of those experiences our guests invariably want to write home about. You will actually drive these highly-trained Huskies yourself on a scenic groomed trail. The trip is around 2 hours, and there are two people per sled, so you take turns driving at the mid-way mark. Be prepared for a little effort and a lot of adventure!
Drive up to the Continental Divide or just take a spin for a few hours. This well-equipped outfitter has the latest machines and is ready to take you on a great ride. Drive yourself or share a machine with a partner as a trained guide leads you in and out of the trees and open meadows. The snowmobile trips take place away from the ranch so the noise wont bother our guests who are staying behind for peace and quiet. Trip lengths vary from 2 hours to all-day. We definitely recommend the 2 hour ride for first timers.
Heated snow cats are ready to take you and your crew deep into the powder of Northern Colorado, where the skiing is epic and the snow is the best in the world. You will get to ski or snowboard in some of the deepest, driest and most consistent snowfall in all of the Rocky Mountains. You'll look forward to returning to the ranch at the end of the day for a soak in your hot tub and a well deserved dinner in the Lodge.
Whether it's fly fishing on a snowy river in Steamboat, or ice fishing in the middle of Steamboat Lake, we can arrange for a fishing experience whether you're an avid angler or this is your first try at winter fishing.
And there's more! Ice climbing and hot air ballooning can be arranged as well through our stable of trained outfitters in Steamboat Springs.

Kelly Rowland is an open book these days. She shares details about her abusive relationship in her current single "Dirty Laundry," and in a recent interview with Philly's Hot 107.9, she reveals that she was the inspiration behind Destiny's Child songs "Girl" and "Bad Habit."
MUST READ: Kelly Rowland Breaks Down On Stage While Performing 'Dirty Laundry' (VIDEO)
MUST READ: 5 Things We Learned About Kelly Rowland From Her Interview With 'The Breakfast Club'
"It's so funny because I don't know how people connect dots with music and artists that they have followed for so long," she says, "but when I saw people on Twitter starting to put all the pieces together, it was so interesting. They did it with "Girl," they did it with "Bad Habit," they did it with so many songs on that album.I was like, 'Okay, that's crazy.'"
She went on to say she gets emotional whenever she hears "Girl," which was released on Destiny's Child final studio album Destiny Fulfilled in 2004.
"Of course, I did! The girls [Beyonce and Michelle Williams] wrote it for me. Destiny's Child is deeper than what people see on the surface. Those are my homies for life," she says. "Those girls we stuck with each other – period."
When asked if she read the comment her ex-fiancé Roy Williams made about "Dirty Laundry," Kelly throws major shade and asks, "Who?"

MEMBER ALERT: AOPA will close Nov. 25 at 2:30 p.m. EST for the Thanksgiving holiday.We will open Monday, Nov. 30, at 8:30 a.m. EST. Have a safe holiday!
September 18, 2013

Buying and flying an amateur-built aircraft is a venture into test flying, but do new owners give that consideration the respect it deserves?
The safety record, pitfalls, and safety strategies were spotlighted by the Air Safety Institute during an experimental aircraft safety seminar at the National Transportation Safety Board's training center in Ashburn, Va. David J. Kenny, Air Safety Institute manager of aviation safety analysis, led about 60 pilots and aviation safety experts through the presentation, "Transitioning into a homebuilt: This is test flying," which provided an overview of who is buying used amateur-built aircraft, who is selling, and what the safety record says about the participants and the transactions. Other presentations at the Aug. 24 seminar focused on case studies and safety trends for amateur-built aircraft.
The Aug. 24 NTSB seminar was opened by Dr. Paul Schuda, director of the NTSB Training Center. NTSB Member Earl Weener then spoke on the topic, "How safe do you want to be?" followed by NTSB Technical Officer Jill Demko providing a case study. John Clark, the NTSB's chief technical scientist, addressed "Case studies—old airplanes and new designs." Tom Charpentier, government advocacy specialist of the Experimental Aircraft Association, spoke to the continuous improvement of amateur-built aircraft safety. A presentation on the FAA's policy on experimental and amateur-built aircraft followed from Tom Glista, manager of General Aviation Operations Branch, AFS-830. NTSB's Demko returned to present another case that included the analysis of an accident aircraft.
Buyers, in particular, must do their homework about specific aircraft to be purchased and about flying experimental aircraft generally, because for some, it is a new ballgame.
"Buyers are often coming in from outside the homebuilder community, and may not have an appreciation of what they're getting into," Kenny said.
That lack of information has been known to compromise safety if a pilot flies a newly purchased aircraft without taking pains to learn its systems thoroughly and spend time documenting its flight characteristics and performance. Variance from expected performance can be wider than with a production aircraft—or there may be little data available depending on how much testing was performed and documented by the seller.
A pilot should learn through careful testing how much aerodynamic warning to expect from the aircraft as it approaches a critical angle of attack. Incipient-stall behavior should be explored before attempting a recovery from a full stall.
Note that a builder/seller's intimate knowledge of an aircraft's construction may not translate to expertise about how it flies. Also, you may not buy your amateur-built aircraft from its builder. Approximately 55 percent of amateur-built aircraft accidents involved second or later owners, Kenny said.
The ideal buyer's scenario is to purchase the aircraft from its builder and learn firsthand what design concepts and performance goals applied to the project.
Even better, Kenny said, is if the seller/builder has extensive experience in flight instructing and aerobatics. If the seller lacks those traits and qualifications, next best is for the buyer to possess them.
Usually, however, they are absent on both sides of the deal.
Typically, the seller might be a 225-hour private pilot who has owned the aircraft for several years, did not build it, and has only flown it occasionally because "he never learned to fly it well enough to feel confident in its cockpit."
"Guess why he's selling," Kenny said.
The presentation examined accidents highlighting errors or omissions such as a buyer rushing through a checkout or declining additional training before departing in the aircraft. In one case, a new owner had not flown the 20-year-old homebuilt in 11 months since buying it. The owner had made high-speed taxi tests, and had "expressed concern with ground-handling characteristics." Still, the owner opted to take off—resulting in losing control during the takeoff run, with an uncontrolled climb, crashing from 150 feet agl.
What's a better way?
Don't be in a hurry to buy and fly. Find the best instructor you can; if the CFI needs some familiarization training in the aircraft first, make that a priority. Then thoroughly review systems and procedures on the ground until you can pass what Kenny calls the "blindfold test."
His reminder to avoid hurrying includes how to conduct that first flight: Don't make turns until reaching a safe altitude. Explore the flight envelope "cautiously, systematically, and thoroughly." Unless recoveries from full stalls have been performed during a demonstration flight, do not assume that stalls are recoverable: "This is something else that is not guaranteed with an experimental aircraft, although most well-known kits have reasonable stall characteristics when built and assembled according to the maker's directions," Kenny said.
In 2014, the Air Safety Institute will produce an online course for pilots on transitioning to other makes and models. It will include amateur-built and experimental aircraft.
One reason buyers transition into the experimental-aircraft market is to acquire more performance at a lower price than may be possible in the certified-aircraft market. But Kenny said buyers of experimentals should understand that "neither the aircraft nor its performance is going to be as predictable as a certified aircraft."
The experimental-category designation "is supposed to tell people that essentially they are investigating and flying this aircraft at their own risk"; there is "no representation" that it meets the airworthiness standards of Part 23 regulations.
"We see a lot of variation in how seriously builders and owners take the whole test-flying stage," he said.
A scarcity of instructors who are qualified to teach in some high-performance experimental aircraft can compound difficulties of pursuing familiarization training. Pilots seeking guidance on how to mount a test-flying program may find little source material available, although Kenny said the nonprofit National Test Pilot School has expressed interest in addressing that problem in the near future.

While the debate over hits to the head, concussions and fighting in hockey rages on, Rouyn-Noranda Huskies forward Anthony Verret lies in an Amos, Que., hospital.
The 18-year-old underwent successful emergency surgery on Tuesday night to repair four facial fractures and damage to his ocular nerve after a hit from Gatineau Olympiques defenceman Guillaume Rousseau in a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game last Saturday.
"He's not in perfect condition, but he's doing well," said Huskies head coach Andre Tourigny shortly after speaking with Verret on Wednesday morning. "The surgery was successful and the doctors are saying everything will be fine -- so time will tell - but for now the news is good."
From all reports, Rousseau's hit would be considered a "hockey play" by NHL standards and there was no penalty assessed at the time. Both players were chasing after a loose puck when the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Rousseau caught the diminutive 5-foot-9, 159-pound Verret in the face with a shoulder.
"It's not a bad hit, meaning it wasn't an elbow or that (Rousseau) didn't jump," said Tourigny. "But the shoulder was right to the head. Basically, that's the debate in hockey right now because the hit was to the head.
"Was it legal or wasn't it legal if the player didn't jump or there was no elbow? Still, the contact was right to the head and that's the debate right now."
Tourigny said he argued vehemently with the QMJHL's on-ice officials over the hit during Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Olympiques in Gatineau, but was told that the referees weren't in a good position to see the collision. He adds that while Verret was still conscious it was very clear the 18-year-old was seriously hurt.
"He was confused," said Tourigny, who adds that medical staff from both teams did an excellent job of tending to Verret immediately. "He wasn't able to talk because it was so painful… it's never fun to see that type of situation and see your player suffer.
"It was a hit directly to the head and we are always talking about the safety of the players so you must make that call in my opinion."
When a player is injured – even if a penalty isn't called – QMJHL disciplinarian Raymond Bolduc has the power to review the incident and hand out suspensions if a team files a complaint. According to QMJHL media relations director Karl Jahnke, the league is reviewing the hit on Verret since the Huskies have already filed their grievance.
In his own defence, Rousseau believes the hit was legal and that his contact wasn't with Verret's head, but rather with the shoulder. He also told the Rouyn-Noranda-based newspaper La Frontière that Verret's head hit his own shoulder after the initial contact.
"When I got there to hit him both of us looked at each other at the same time as he was taking the puck and I hit him on the shoulder," said Rousseau in a translation of what he told the French-language newspaper.
"I have no ill will against Anthony," he added. "We ran into each other a few times in bars over the summer, and I knew that my check was clean, but I didn't think he wasn't going to get back up."
And while Tourigny believes Rousseau did not intend to hurt Verret, he's not buying the notion that the forward's facial damage was caused by anything other than the initial contact.
"It was just [Rousseau's] shoulder to the head," said Tourigny. "His head didn't hit anything after [the initial contact]."
Recently the QMJHL followed the Ontario Hockey League's lead in switching to soft-capped padding for all of its players. According to Tourigny, despite a short lag in getting the equipment for the start of the season, his team was wearing the newly mandated gear though he was unsure about Gatineau.
The QMJHL has tried, like other junior leagues, to curb hits to the head through head-checking penalties and stiffer suspensions for offenders. League commissioner Gilles Courteau has also talked about the possibility of banning fighting outright in order to better protect his players.
However, the QMJHL's future resolve likely provides little comfort to Verret from his hospital bed.
"When you hurt your arm, the worst case is that you will be injured for a couple of weeks," said Tourigny. "With the head you never know, so for sure we're worried about him, Tony is a really good guy."

Content Marketing strategy: Are you good, fast, or cheap?
Sep 26th
By {grow} Community Member Andy Crestodina
There's a saying in the manufacturing world: "There's good, fast and cheap. You can choose two." No business can offer all three.
It's true throughout the service industry and in all forms of production. It's why you can't order a sirloin steak for $5 at a drive-through window. It's simply a law of business, like the law of gravity.
I thought of this after reading one of Mark Schaefer's posts last month, How the physics of social media is killing your marketing strategy. It was a straight-forward post with a powerful message: We're entering an era where the content is being produced faster than ever, but our attention spans are not. Comparing this to colliding forces in physics, Mark points out that it's going to get a lot harder to "maintain mindshare."
He suggested three possible responses:
- Create increasingly spectacular content (be more amazing).
- Create content at a lower cost (reduce the time invested in generating content).
- Place your content in front of existing audiences (PR, News-jacking, guest blogging).
Sound familiar? These align with the three possible approaches in business. When we think about Mark's recommendations, we see that they align with strategies which, in turn, align with specific tactics. Let's take a look …
You can be GOOD
Produce the best content you can, even if it means staying tightly focused on a few topics. Survive by becoming the trusted authority on a narrow topic.
- Conduct and publish original research.
- Write the ebook/guide that answers prospects' questions.
- Produce infographics, videos and epic posts.
High quality content with specific focus is just what Google loves, so this strategy works well with search optimization.
You can be FAST
Produce content quickly and efficiently, by delegating and curating. Survive by producing lots of content and making lots of connections.
- Email interviews to thought leaders, turn their responses into posts.
- Source topics and content from sources inside your company.
- Solicit guest posts from influencers through guest blogger outreach.
Since you'll be involving more people and keeping frequency high, this strategy works well with social media.
You can be CHEAP
Publications have pre-packaged audiences that you can leverage by paying close attention to the changing interests of the press and popular blogs. Survive by being at the right place at the right time.
- Find the sites where your audience spends time, and submit guest posts.
- Nurture relationships with editors and journalists. Establish yourself as a source.
- Watch HARO and Reporter Connection. Respond quickly to relevant topics.
If you're able to jump in when the timing and topic are right, this strategy works well with PR.
Adapt and survive
Yes, there is a crush of content coming. But you can avoid getting sucked into the black hole if you have a plan. Consider your goals and your strengths, and then choose your survival strategy.
Which survival strategy are you using? (Please don't tell us it's a combination of all three!)

Case study: Medical practice increases revenue, conversions through content strategy
Aug 28th
About a year ago, I introduced you to Lisa Reath, who is the business/marketing manager for a nearby medical clinic.
Lisa faces an extraordinary marketing challenge — engage customers with a medical practice, which of course is surrounded by patient privacy issues. To make things even more difficult, the practice specializes in cosmetic surgery — not a subject people usually want to discuss in a public sort of way. Add in a recession and some intense competition, and you have yourself one massive marketing mountain to climb.
Unless, of course, you possess the business savvy of Ms. Reath. A few years ago, Lisa took my social media marketing class and just caught fire with new ideas. "I realized that I needed to stop selling so much and just be helpful and available," she said. "That was a new mindset for me and our business."
Since I first wrote about Lisa a few years ago, she has continued to make exceptional progress and I wanted to report on her results. But first, let's review her strategy. The medical practice deploys a variety of content marketing methods:
"I think our most successful marketing effort is a 33-page Girlfriend's Guide to Breast Augmentation," she said. "It is designed to be read online or on an iPad, downloaded free, easily forwarded and linked to.
"Our idea was to offer patients free information about breast augmentation that is helpful but not easily found online. Chapters are informative but also entertaining. We went out of our way to try not to directly sell our practice."
The eBook recently was named a "Magnum Opus" award winner and will be highlighted at the upcoming Content Marketing World.
What's cooking
One of the most creative content marketing applications I have seen is Lisa's publication of a high-quality, hard copy family cookbook that she distributed to friends and clients at Christmas. Again, the medical practice is not even mentioned, but you can't help but think about it every time you open the book … which is often because the recipes are excellent! Quite a brilliant idea.
"Given the privacy expectations with plastic surgery, we have had surprising success with Facebook," Lisa said. "It's largely because of a quiz game we play every week with our fans. We came up with the 'Truth-O-Meter' to establish ourselves as an authority and sort through all the misconceptions surrounding plastic surgery."
Every Tuesday morning Dr. Reath posts a question on the Facebook page. A winner is randomly chosen from the correct answers and announced by a short YouTube video every Wednesday. Prizes include gift cards, skin care products, and contributions to charity in honor of breast cancer awareness month.
Dr. Reath keeps patients current by blogging on hot topics in plastic surgery. He also comments on current events that affect women's health. The practice has more than 120 videos on their YouTube channel covering common plastic surgery procedural issues and the the "Truth-o-Meter" game.
The results
There are measurable gains from the social media exposure:
- Revenue up 19% YTD vs 2011 in down economy (no open surgery spots in Dr. Reath's schedule.
- Conversion rate is up from 55% to 70% because "Patients feel they know us and come in ready to schedule."
- Today 2,082 Facebook fans with 203 regularly engaging.

Social proof and your battle for credibility
Mar 8th
While researching my new book Return On Influence, I immersed myself in the world of the Internet elite and concluded that on the social web, the badges of "social proof" really do matter … probably more than real achievement! So it may come as a surprise that I have made a decision to ignore them, for good business reasons.
Social proof is a critical concept behind influence in both the offline and the online worlds. In the absence of enough information to make our own decision, we turn to signals from others to help us find a way forward.
Here's a simple example — Let's say you are at the site of a terrible car wreck and two people are shouting orders. One is wearing a doctor's lab coat and one is wearing a pizza delivery uniform. Which directions are you likely to follow?
A social proof "badge" can bestow authority whether it is deserved or not. Somebody who wears a doctor's lab coat, has an office decorated with diplomas, or drives an exotic car is communicating "power" — even if they are a fake. It's a type of herd mentality, and it can be both dangerous and useful, depending on the situation.
Social proof is even more important in the online world
A badge like number of Twitter followers or a Klout score may be the ONLY mechanism we have to determine influence in the online world. Offline, we may have the chance to meet people, or ask a mutual friend to help us determine credibility. But this type of validation is often not possible online, so we seek a shortcut, and on the social web, there are plenty of them!
We are all suffering from information overload in this data-dense online world. We simply don't have the energy to do any more digging and will gladly accept a "badge" as proof of authority.
When establishing online influence, social proof matters … even more than real achievement. I'm sure more people know how many Twitter followers I have than any aspect of my career, education, or charitable work.
Driving the wrong behaviors
So it probably doesn't make sense to you when I tell you that I have eliminated many typical elements of social proof from my blog. Look around at other social media blogs and they are decorated with more badges than a five-star general. It makes good business sense to do this. And while {grow} has been on its fair share of "Top 10" lists (I was recently named on of the "Top 50 Power Influencers" by Forbes), I have decided to take down the badges.
The reason is simple. Like any good business person, I'm competitive. And these often meaningless numbers were driving the wrong behaviors for me and my business.
Here's an example of how social proof can be important and meaningless at the same time.
The AdAge blog ranking has been rendered virtually useless after the changes they made last summer but it remains the most popular "badge" you see on social media blogs. But the ranking has nothing to do with the quality of your content or the vibrancy of your community. You can climb the list by buying backlinks and gaming StumbleUpon. 20 percent of the ranking is an arbitrary rating given by a guy named Todd. One blog in the top 100 has not even been updated since 2009.
So this numerical ranking is just plain dumb. Social proof like this is fool's gold — sparkly but meaningless. It can't buy you a cup of coffee. And yet, due to my competitive nature, every time I dropped a few spots, I started to scheme about getting more "Stumble votes" or whatever. This is absolutely the wrong thing for me to be focusing on! This is gaming a number to establish social proof, not engaging in an activity that is directly serving my customers and driving income.
I need to focus on three priorities in my business: Clients, Content, and College Classes. Anything beyond that is a distraction. I don't have the resources to game social proof badges like the silly AdAge system every week.
A personal decision
Social proof is important, but it was driving the wrong behaviors in me personally. So I have simply decided to ignore the numbers … for the most part. I literally have no idea how many Facebook, LinkedIn, or YouTube followers/friends I have. I have a rough idea of the Twitter followers because it is so prominent on my profile. I only check the number of blog readers I have once a month or so. I have not looked at my AdAge ranking in three months. And the blog? All the "buzz badges" are gone. The one number I do pay attention to is the social shares for each blog post because I think that is a good sign of feedback — those are your "votes" on what content is working for the community.
So I'm not following my own advice around social proof — but it is the best advice for me at this point in time of my life. I'm hoping that if I put that "social proof energy" toward delivering consistently great content that the results will follow.
At least that is the theory. Maybe someday I will eventually re-join the crowd and focus all my attention on "likes," followers and popularity contests! After all, isn't that what really matters these days?

It seems like technology market predictions are becoming a little more like weather forecasts. Luckily for companies with investments in the cloud, the market's unpredictability is largely due to its faster-than-expected growth. Earlier this year, analysts projected that consumer cloud storage subscriptions would reach $500 billion. However, a report by IHS iSuppli Mobile & Wireless Communications Service found that the market made it to 75 percent of that number in the first six months of 2012.
"The cloud is a game changer in an age of near-ubiquitous mobile broadband, offering benefits to consumers and cloud service providers alike," said Jagdish Rebello, Ph.D., director for consumer and communications at IHS. "For consumers, cloud services are intended to manage and store user-generated data or purchased content, such as music, ebooks, pictures or videos. The content can then be seamlessly accessed and synced across devices like smartphones, media tablets and PCs. Meanwhile, technology companies are looking at the cloud as a way to generate revenue."
In addition to highlighting the proliferation of cloud storage services within the consumer market, IHS analysts noted that mobile service operators have a unique opportunity to invest in cloud services. Due to the large number of consumers that already use smartphones to store content, mobile providers may see value from bundling phone service with cloud storage.
And the rapid adoption of mobile devices hasn't gone unnoticed by cloud storage companies either. It would be hard to miss, as Seeking Alpha writer Mark Bertolin noted, considering 114 million U.S. consumers used smartphones in July 2012. The possibility of tying cloud services with mobile phone service does have its own share of challenges though, as storing content with a mobile operator would make it more complicated to switch providers – a hassle that IHS said could limit the demand for such a service.

DD had a mild fever yesterday. Could be a cold, could be teething. We gave her motrin and she felt much better. Later on, she clearly needed more. In my exhausted, bleary eyed state, fairly certain I gave her too much. I used the wrong medicine syringe. This realization dawned on me at 3am. I promptly called Poison Control and they said she would have had a stomach ache by then and that she'd be fine.
I've learned my lesson. Be super careful - which I usually am. Ask for help and try to take a nap when she naps.
I thank the universe for giving me such a beautiful and healthy child.
Just wanted to share.

Gal Dasta Group
Shajan and Gal Dasta want to take a loan for their businesses and the other member would like to take a loan for her tailoring business. They all want to see progress in their businesses and earn more money to support their families better.
They say that these loans con be very useful because they provide a chance for poor entrepreneurs to expand their businesses.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

New York-based Four Nations Ensemble presented a French baroque musical buffet Saturday at UWM's Zelazo Center.
As part of the Early Music Now series, the group performed a mix of baroque instrumental and vocal/instrumental music, joined by soprano Dominique Labelle.
A great part of the program's charm was the variety of sound the group included on the program. After opening with a sonata for violin and continuo (cello and harpsichord), the program moved through vocal/instrumental numbers and selections employing flute, violin, cello and harpsichord, as well as a piece for solo harpsichord.
The evening's real showstoppers were the numbers featuring Labelle.
Labelle sang with an easy command of soprano range and a big, present sound shaded with the sort of dark, rich quality one usually hears in a mezzo voice. She made an immediate communicative connection with her audience, filling the hall with sound and bringing an in-the-moment urgency to the 300-year-old music.
Performing airs by Michel Lambert and Jean-Philippe Rameau and the "Medée" cantata by L.N. Clérambault, Labelle used elements of baroque style as expressive tools rather than as historically correct additions to the music.
Perfectly placed, artfully executed ornaments, along with a fabulous vibrato freedom that included straight tones, sparing applications of narrow, quick vacillations, and some broad, dramatic strokes, were all essential parts of her musical storytelling.
Violinist Tatiana Chulochnikova, flutist Colin St. Martin, cellist Loretta O'Sullivan and harpsichordist and ensemble director Andrew Appel gave tight, polished performances both in their sensitive, collaborative accompaniments of Labelle and in their own repertoire.
The ensemble blended sensitive, responsive harpsichord playing with some virtuosic cello work, a lovely, rich violin sound and a focused, uncommonly present baroque flute timbre. They played with tremendous musical expression and stylistic finesse, responding to each other's musical choices.
Elements of period style, including elegant-yet-easy ornaments and nuances, combined with their obvious understanding of the various musical forms within the pieces to create a thoroughly engaging performance.
Appel opened the program's second half with flashy, fast-fingered performance of a set of solo harpsichord pieces by Rameau.
