Look for opportunities to leverage social and mobile "inboxes" to drive relationships and revenue.
This is one of six "The 2012 Inbox" columns this month, as the e-mail columnists of ClickZ examine the near future of e-mail marketing.
When we surveyed readers for this series of columns, the biggest challenge identified for 2010 was cultivating an active list with high quality subscribers (33.3 percent of those surveyed). Looking forward, readers felt that the proliferation of mobile devices (47.4 percent) and the abandonment of e-mail in favor of social networks (25 percent) would have the biggest impact on e-mail marketing in the future.
I don't disagree. But while many e-mail marketers look at these as threats, I see them as opportunities, especially if you start leveraging them in your favor now. One way to do this is to focus on using them to grow your e-mail list.
Mobile and social are new channels (or sub-channels) of communication. You don't have to use each in a vacuum; in fact, multichannel efforts usually produce better response than single channel efforts.
Case in point: US Airways encouraging customers, on cocktail napkins, to send a text message to enroll in its frequent flyer program. This is a brilliant use of offline and mobile to build an e-mail list. It's much easier to send a text to sign up for e-mail than it is to send an e-mail or visit a website. This takes a traditional form of offline acquisition and makes it better by integrating mobile marketing.
The napkin is a nice touch, but it's not required. If you're communicating with someone via text message, it's nice to ask them to visit your website to sign up for your e-mail newsletter. But it's more efficient to just ask them to text their e-mail address to you to be added to the list.
Quick note on texting - it won't ever replace e-mail. The character limitation and text-only format is great for some things, but not so good for others. I see text and e-mail like radio and television - both will exist and we (senders and recipients) will use the channel that's best for the type of communication involved.
Social networks also hold a huge opportunity for e-mail marketers - in a variety of ways. Social networks are like "forward to a friend" on steroids. With a few clicks, a reader can share your e-mail content with everyone on their social media contact list(s). Studies have been done showing the success of this - and as long as social networks are around, this will only happen more, not less.
Savvy marketers are looking at ways to leverage social networks for e-mail list growth. The obvious, and most simple way to do it, is to include social sharing links in your e-mail message. This allows readers to easily post items from your e-mail messages (articles, offers, etc.) to their social media networks for their contacts to see.
The link readers post will take people to the Web page where the content resides (if your e-mail content doesn't also reside on the Web somewhere, you need to change that). In order to complete the loop, be sure to include a call-to-action to sign up for your e-mail program on every one of these content pages.
But that's not all I have to say about social. People who see social as being the slayer of e-mail are missing what I think is a critical point: Facebook, LinkedIn, and the other primary social networks all include an inbox.
It's not the inbox that we, as e-mail marketers, are used to sending to. It's a separate inbox, one which can usually only be reached by individuals and companies that the recipient trusts. This creates a level of permission that's completely controlled by the recipient. It's non-transferrable and revocable at any time.
Unlike traditional e-mail, subscribers don't hand over their e-mail addresses. They "friend" your organization or "link" to your company via the social network. As long as you stay in their good graces, you can have an online relationship with them via the social network and its inbox. Start sending spam or irrelevant content and the reader can sever the relationship with you instantly.
People you want to communicate with may be more willing to give you access to their Facebook or LinkedIn inbox than their traditional inbox, because they have control. Over time, you may (a) gain their trust enough to gain access to their traditional inbox or (b) find that the social media inbox relationship works fine for both of you and keep it at that. Either way, dabbling in social makes sense, as long as you continue to invest in your tried-and-true e-mail program.
Many organizations, both big and small, are already leveraging this "second inbox." Case in point: The Email Experience Council (eec).
The eec wants to communicate with its members and prospects via whichever channel is best for the recipients. The e-mail I received in my traditional inbox looks different than the message I received in my Facebook inbox out of necessity. But both have the same goal - to let me know about this webinar and entice me to register. Two different inboxes, two different creative executions, but one primary goal.
Bottom line: embrace the new channels. Use them to grow your traditional e-mail list and look for opportunities to leverage these new "inboxes" to drive relationships and revenue.

Imagine the TOS Starfleet

Re: Imagine the TOS Starfleet
Actually, we do not know from TOS (!) whether some of the starships you listed there actually belonged to the Constitution Class (as this is merely a conjectural assumption and better suits those that begin with an NCC-16XX prefix, IMO and for a number of reasons).
Where you have my undivided attention are the NCC-registries of "NCC-1864" and NCC-1897" from the starship status chart in "Court-Martial".
While HD resolution clearly reveals NCC-1631 to be erroneous (as it most definitely shows NCC-1831) I'm still very uncertain regarding 1X64 and 1X97.
Depending on which moment I freeze frame the Blu-ray image it reads either "16" or "18".
I thought we'd have to wait for 4K UltraHD resolution before we could finally determine what it actually reads.
Why is that important? If it is 1664 for the
, 1764 for the
and 1864 for the
we could speculate that the last two digits are only a contact code a new ship will "inherit" from a deceased ship.

Former Sooners C Gabe Ikard wins Pat Tillman Award
Gabe Ikard's senior season at Oklahoma is over.
But the awards continue to roll in for the now-former Sooners center.
Friday, Ikard was named the winner of the East-West Shrine Game Pat Tillman Award.
The award honors the perseverance and talent shown during the week of practice leading up to the game as well as overall achievements and conduct.
"Gabe Ikard has truly exemplified what it means to be a student-athlete and has served as a tremendous representative of the University of Oklahoma and our football program," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said in a release.
Ikard started all but two of his 52 career games for the Sooners and was a two-year captain.
This season, Ikard was named CoSIDE Academic All-American of the Year and won the Wuerffel Award given to the college player who best combined exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement. Ikard also won the Lee Roy Selmon Spirit Award for best representing the qualities of character that Selmon displayed in emphasizing academics and community service.
Ikard will play in the East-West Shrine Game at 3 p.m. Saturday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. Former Sooners running back Brennan Clay will be his teammate on the West team. The game will be broadcast on the NFL Network.
After this game, he'll head to Mobile, Ala., where he'll play in next week's Senior Bowl with former Sooners Jalen Saunders and Aaron Colvin.

LINCOLN, Neb. — When Bo Pelini returned to Nebraska this year, he found upgraded football facilities worthy of his old team, the New England Patriots. He also found a downgraded defense unworthy of another one of his old teams, Cardinal Mooney High back home in Youngstown, Ohio.
Yes, a lot has changed since Pelini left Nebraska five years ago with the No. 2 scoring defense in the country. Last spring he stared into the eyes of players who gave up 76 points to Kansas.
So excuse Pelini if he talks like a guy who came home to see his home wiped out by a flood and a hurricane. He's hurrying to rebuild a foundation. He knows the locusts are coming.
For a defensive coordinator who made Nebraska a defensive power, helped lead Oklahoma to a Big 12 title and helped Louisiana State to last season's national title, sifting through Nebraska's defensive rubble as a first-year head coach can be devastating.
"It's coming slower than I thought," Pelini said Sunday.
His Cornhuskers (3-1) had just lost to Virginia Tech 35-30 before the biggest crowd in the history of a school with 293 straight sellouts. People here are eager. They're optimistic. Pelini was the popular choice to take over from Frank Solich after 2003 but was treated like a snivelling nephew in favor of Bill Callahan.
Four years and the only two losing seasons in the past 46 years later, here's what Calla-han and coordinator Kevin Cosgrove left Pelini: a defense that finished 112th in total defense (476.
"I think we're getting better," Pelini said. "We're a long ways away yet. We don't execute. We're inconsistent. That's the most disappointing thing. We do it to ourselves. We're not disciplined."
Asked how much defensive talent he inherited, the phone line went silent. Never has a coach said so much by saying so little.
Five defensive starters from 2007 returned, but Pelini made a lot of changes. First, he made the players leaner. Changing their diet and doing more core workouts with new strength coach James Dobson, the Cornhuskers have lost a collective 1,000 pounds.
"Adam Carriker played ahead of me and was 300 pounds playing defensive end," said senior Zach Potter, who dropped from 295 to 280 this year. "(Cosgrove) told me, 'Hey, get up to 300 so you can replace Carriker.' I got close to it and hated it. Nothing against Coach Cosgrove, but I definitely feel a lot better at this weight."
Second, Pelini was so desperate for linebacker help, he moved Cody Glenn from tailback to outside linebacker. Glenn had never played linebacker, yet leads the defense in tackles with 35.
Third, Pelini made his team more cerebral. Cosgrove's defense was as predictable as a B-grade horror movie, which many of Nebraska's games resembled. The defense is checking off based on offensive formations.
"The offense doesn't predicate to us," junior nose tackle Ndamukong Suh said. "We predicate to the offense."
The baby steps the defense is taking are getting it across the floor — slowly. After munching three cupcakes, Nebraska gave up 337 yards to a struggling Virginia Tech offense. Some of the Hokies' receivers were so wide open from blown coverages, the left tackle could have completed the pass.
That's why Pelini took no satisfaction in holding four Hokies drives to field goals.
"It's coaching," he said. "We've got to get it fixed. We need more consistency. It's bonehead things. Our tackling and fundamentals aren't horrible, but the mental mistakes are absolutely inexcusable."
What gives Nebraska fans hope is the defense didn't quit. It forced a Virginia Tech punt to give Nebraska's offense one last shot. Asked if the defense quit a year ago, Suh said, "I'd definitely agree with that."
You could tell by the scores, but you could also tell by the conversations.
"There was definitely a lot of selfishness on this team last year," Potter said. "You could hear guys, juniors and seniors, go, 'I'm going to the league (NFL) next year. I just want to go out there and play, do this for this team or scout.' They were looking out for their own future, not the team's future."
It would have behooved their future if they made some tackles. It was the worst defense in 118 years of Nebraska football. In their last three games, they gave up 172 points, including a 76-39 mauling at Kansas.
Now comes fourth-ranked Missouri, with the No. 2 offense (595.5 yards a game) and scoring team (53.8 points) in the country, on Saturday. Pelini isn't just looking for a defense that won't quit.
"I have high expectations," he said. "I don't worry about year to year. I'm concerned with day to day right now, getting better every day. That's the commitment you have to have.
"I want to win now."

Have a Nikkor 50, 105 adn 150 which I think are really nice. The 150 is an older lens, spent more on getting it mounted than on the lens, but it is sweet. Use the 105 and a Beseler 80 for 6x6 and 645 and like both. Each lens you mentioned is good, but I agree unless you just prefer a new one, I would check out the used market, lots of good glass out there for a lot less $.
Good luck.

AVAM is the official national museum and education center for self-taught, intuitive artistry. 3 renovated historic industrial buildings house wonders created by farmers, housewives, mechanics, retired folk, the disabled, the homeless, & the occasional neurosurgeon – all inspired by the fire within!
The exhibits change out periodically but I highly recommend getting a docent to hear the interesting backstories of the artists. By far one of my top two favorite museums in Baltimore.
Amazing! Fabulous exhibit and quirky gift shop. Some original work available too
Crazy and very unique art. Not many places like this around the country. If passing through Baltimore must stop in.
This place is like one big acid trip
Maybe the coolest museum I've ever been to. Make sure to check out all three buildings. The artists work will amaze you.
Great indoor and outdoor wacky found object art. This gift shop is good and cheap too.
A wonderland of non-traditional art and one of our favorite places on Earth (Felice is also the Education Coordinator, regularly hosting cool workshops and events. Read more
Every May, AVAM organizes the KINETIC SCULPTURE RACE which takes over the city as these vehicles make their way through water, sand, mud and the streets of Baltimore! Read more

You can always get into the (best ever) gift shop for free!
Free tonight!!
Interesting artwork. It's a free museum, you can't beat that!
Cool things to see but its really a quick walk through and not really worth it in my opinion.
Find the chess board, spot the pink elephant.
Awesome for an inner city wedding theme !
The museum is free on Thursday night!!!
Amazing museum! The ship made of toothpicks is one of the most creative, interesting, FANTASTIC piece of art I've ever seen!
Can you find the non-bronze item in the staircase?
I have been to many art museums... Love the creativity and whimsy of the AVAM. Great way to introduce grown up museums to children. So much eye candy.
Great place to see art.
You never know what to expect at the AVAM. Discover a shady nook in the sculpture garden, then browse through artsy treasures at the gift shop, Sideshow. See more: http://bsun.md/b3sf7y

Flicks on the hill .......
If you're a student, make sure you have that ID with you. Five bucks cheaper.
Don't come here when you're tripping. Very, very trippy place. It'll either be the best trip ever or your worst nightmare.
Great gem of B'more. The cafe upstairs serves very good food.
Nice art indeed!
The first Saturday in May, AVAM holds the Kinetic Sculpture Race. Daring souls race their peddle-powered creations around the city and into the Harbor. Not to be missed!

CC Sabathia has a contract off from the Yankees to contemplate. If the ace pitcher chooses pinstripes, it could be worth $140 million.
- Filed Under
When the Milwaukee Brewers saw their season end on Oct. 6, CC Sabathia said he planned for a quick resolution to his status as a free agent.
"They're going to have to come to me," the left-hander said.
The Yankees answered that challenge yesterday, offering Sabathia what would be a record contract for a pitcher: six years and $140 million. ...

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) - A Republican party official says latecomers who missed taking part in the Nevada caucuses learned how caucuses work.
County Republican spokeswoman Bobbie Haseley says caucusing is
different from voting all day in a primary.
Caucuses gather voters at one place at one time to talk about candidates and cast ballots.
Precinct captain Dale Napier tells The Associated Press that a lot of people at Green Valley High School in Henderson thought Saturday's GOP caucus was open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and that they could arrive at any time.
Napier says people were still coming when caucusing ended about
10:30 a.m.
Napier told some to complain to party officials, and said he thought it might spur a discussion about holding a primary instead of a caucus.

I've tried 3 different brands, half a pill a day, 1 gummy in the morining and 1 at night, tried it with a big meal, without a meal,ones without iron, extra b6, etc etc. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING. And they make me really really sick. If I don't take it, I don't throw up everything I eat,in fact the nausea isn't very bad at all. I'm taking folic and dha (since i dont eat fish) and trying to make complete meals and eat fresh and just supplement with real food as much as possible, but I still feel bad about not taking the prenatals. On the prenatals, the nausea is so debilitating that I can't walk or stand up let alone go to work. Anyways, anyone else not taking pre natals?
Anyone NOT taking prenatals?

You know what, at this point in development, the folic acid is really the most important, so I think its fantastic that you're able to keep it down! And the DHA is helping too! As long as you're able to stomach those, I wouldn't stress out too much about taking a prenatal. Do what you can!! Maybe later on you'll be able to take a prenatal.

you need to go to amandabears.com and read about organic/vegitarian pre-natals.
i didnt take any with ds because of the same problem. i literally tried every prescription one available.... now im taking Vitamin Code (have been for 6mo. before pg. too) and not ONE PROBLEM!!
please try them!! its so important to get all the nutrients....
I have a friend that was the same way and the doctor put her on childrens vitamins...worth a try. They worked great for her!
I am taking prenatals but I handle them well.
My dr. says to take a flinstone or any child's vitamin that tasty and chewable. That's all I can do for the first few months! Horrible gag reflex!
I use Rainbow Light Prenatal 1 (they're vegan) and they don't upset my stomach. The only time I have missed them has been on days where I was puking a lot.
My phone does that weird caps thing on every word. No idea why. Sorry.
I take a prenatal (BellaBar Chewable) one day and the next I take a Flintstones vitamin and I go back and forth. The prenatals also make me very sick. My Dr. said it was fine so maybe you can take the ones you are taking now and add the Flintstones vitamin.
I also have a problem with my prenatal vitamins. Right now I'm taking the one a day gummy vitamins (in the red bottle) and an extra folic acid and iron pill. These pills are smaller so they are easier for me to swallow. I ran this by my doctor and she said it was fine.

Do you know how many rolls of film I f***ed up when I started? Calculators don't count that high!
The quick answer is that using several cameras and doing things different ways introduces more variables into the system. When you are learning, you want to keep things as simple as possible until you understand how everything works.
I know it's discouraging when mistakes keep happening but this is the time to keep going, not the time to quit. The frustration is part of the learning process. Stop now and you won't learn anything. Everything you have done will be for nothing. In business, that's what's called a "sunk cost."
Keep it up! You'll get the hang of it!
As Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I have just found 1,000 ways that don't work."

Members of the Washington State National Guard search through debris Wednesday in the mudslide area in Oso, Wash. / Genna Martin, The Herald via AP
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - The number of confirmed deaths in the Washington state mudslide rose to 30 on Thursday with the release of two more victim names.
The Snohomish County medical examiner's office says 67-year-old Gloria Halstead and 13-year-old Jovon E. Mangual, both of Arlington, died of multiple blunt force injuries in the accident.
The number of missing - which had stood at 18 Wednesday - is now at 13, according to operations manager Heather Oie, who couldn't explain why the tally differs.
The office has released 27 names and is still trying to identify three victims.
Recovery crews are still searching for more bodies in the March 22 landslide that crushed the community of Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle.

Swedish skip Niklas Edin outsmarted his opposite number for the second time in a week - winning 7-6 to book the remaining semi-final slot against Kevin Martin's unbeaten Canada.
It started badly for Murdoch's rink on the first end, when Euan Byers missed a regulation take-out to hand Sweden an advantage they patiently protected.
Murdoch battled to keep his team in the match, missing several key shots by fractions, as the cool heads of Sweden prevailed, with Edin and third Sebastian Kraupp both high in the averages.
But the momentum started to swing as the Scottish skip slowly hauled back a 5-2 deficit, winning three ends against the hammer to restore parity.
Sweden pinched back a single in the eighth end while an excellent take out from Murdoch gave him a final stone advantage for decisive tenth.
But Edin came back strongly, with an under-pressure double take out restricting Great Britain to an equalising single, which forced an extra end.
However, this time Sweden had the advantage of the hammer, which was to prove telling as Edin held his nerve to secure victory by the slenderest margin.
Murdoch struggled to hide his emotions after the game.
Four years ago Murdoch admitted he was 'heartbroken' after losing a bronze medal play-off to the United States in Turin.
But he rebounded to win two World Championships in three years, in addition to securing the European title, meaning he arrived here as Britain's top gold medal prospect.
However, defeat to Sweden means his performance in Vancouver is even more disappointing than 2006.
"We've trained six days a week for the last two years and we've come into these Olympics as world champions but the week just didn't go for us," said Murdoch.
"This feels as bad as Turin, maybe even worse. When you sacrifice so much and train as hard as we do, it's hard to take and it's going to take a long time to get over.
"We should have beaten more teams this week but we didn't finish games off in the way we usually do.
"It's heartbreaking, it's the worst thing possible for our team."
Edin was rightly buzzing following his win and claims he has nothing to fear from Canada, who are unbeaten at these Olympics.
"It's going to be tough for us but all teams in the semis have a shot," he said.
"We need a good start and get some breaks and maybe we have a chance to beat them.
"They are the best team here, but we have nothing to lose and they have everything to lose."

His quartet's 1959 recording of 'Take Five' was first jazz single to sell a million copies
Dave Brubeck, a pianist and composer whose distinctive mixture of experimentation and accessibility made him one of the most popular jazz musicians of the 1950s and 1960s, died Wednesday morning in Norwalk, Conn. He would have turned 92 today.
He died while on his way to a cardiology appointment, Russell Gloyd, his producer, conductor and manager for 36 years, said. Brubeck lived in Wilton, Conn.
In a long and successful career, Brubeck helped repopularize jazz at a time when younger listeners had been trained to the sonic dimensions of the three-minute pop single.
Brubeck, who was born in Concord near San Francisco, once explained succinctly what jazz meant to him. "One of the reasons I believe in jazz," he said, "is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart. It's the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. "
His quartet's 1959 recording of "Take Five" was the first jazz single to sell a million copies. The group's most famous originals include "Time Out," "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and "It's a Raggy Waltz." Some of the quartet's best work was in its overhauls of standards like "You Go to My Head," "All the Things You Are" and "Pennies From Heaven."
A regular San Diego visitor, Brubeck first performed here in 1953 as part of an all-star concert with jazz saxophone icon Charlie Parker.
His most recent San Diego date was in 2006 at Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, where Brubeck led his latest quartet with characteristic musical wit and vigor.
His brother, Howard Brubeck, who died in 1993, taught music at San Diego State University and at Palomar College.
Brubeck is survived by his wife, Iola, four sons who played and recorded with him, a daughter and 10 grandchildren.
Staff writer George Varga contributed to this report.

I can second one nugget buried in the long original post. That is the use of benzotriazole to reduce base fog in color papers. I have successfully used 5mg/L BTZ to eliminate slight base fog from some Kodak Edge paper, printing with like new results. I also added 5ml/L h2o2 to the mix bump up the contrast a bit. I also eliminated quite pronounced yellow base fog from some Crystal Archive type C, but experimentation there is ongoing as the resultant print is quite flat.
We all benefit from unconventional approaches/tests like these.

FDK AAC vs FHG AAC
FDK AAC vs FHG AAC

Firstly, both encoders are from Fraunhofer, so what gives? How come Fraunhofer has 2 "similar" AAC encoders out there? I know that one is bundled with Winamp and the other is for Google Android and is open source, but is that the whole issue? Were they developed by 2 different teams?
Secondly, in a nutshell, which would be considered the superior one? From what I've been reading, the FDK AAC encoder had some considerable bugs and shortcomings, some of which were fixed in the custom implementations (with it being open source), but were the problems due to the original Fraunhofer code or due to the initial implementations?
And in any case, I ask the initial question again: Best FDK AAC x FHG AAC for general purpose/LC/HE/HE2 encoding, which is better??

|TASSAROLI S.A. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|EXPLOSIVE CARRIER END PLATES FOR CHARGE-CARRIERS USED IN PERFORATING GUNS - Explosive carrier end plates for charge-carriers utilized in guns for the perforation of petroleum producing wells. Each gun is mounted coupled vertically with similar guns inside the casing of the well, and each gun is a hollow cylinder in the interior of which there is a corresponding tubular carrier that has multiple peripheral mountings for a radial placement of the shaped-charges. The carrier is mounted in the gun by means of a top insulating end plate that has a retractable electrical spring contact capable of pushing upwards, and a bottom insulating end plate. The end plates have a centering clip for anchoring in a respective window of the cylindrical wall of the carrier. Both end plates have a single removable insert axially fitted between two tubular inserts, which present reciprocal guiding and positioning means for a pin keyway slot to enable mounting with the end plate. A pin and groove are provided between the peripheral cylindrical walls of end plates and the gun's wall, for anchoring in and positioning the end plate to guide the exit of each jet of the shaped charges.
|ELECTROMECHANICAL ASSEMBLY FOR CONNECTING A SERIES OF GUNS USED IN THE PERFORATION OF WELLS - Electromechanical assembly for connecting a series of guns used in the perforation of petroleum producing wells. Each gun has a cylindrical housing for a charge-carrier loaded with explosive shaped-charges set in radial fashion. The charges are in contact with a detonating cord that is in contact with an electronically activated detonator. The series of guns are joined firmly by intermediary joints and terminate in a bottom sub on its lower extreme, where the series is initiated by a firing head which is connected to the surface with an electrical connection. It is possible to detonate the charge-carrier of each gun, beginning with the bottommost gun that remains active.
|ELECTROMECHANICAL ASSEMBLY FOR CONNECTING A SERIES OF PERFORATING GUNS FOR OIL AND GAS WELLS - Mechanical connector for the connection and assembly of guns used in the perforation of petroleum producing wells. Each gun has a hollow cylindrically shaped housing whose ends have threaded joints. Explosive shipped-charges are radially set in respective peripheral slots of the gun. Guns are coaxially joined in vertical position within the casing of the well, forming an assembly that includes the firing head and a bottom sub. The joints between consecutive guns and between the bottom sub and the lowermost gun, include tubular adaptor pieces and intermediaries that have respectively a threaded joint end and an opposing end constituted by a bayonet-type locking joint formed by a single reinforced latching bayonet locking tab.

On this page:
- Securely setting up your account
- Navigating in Box
- Uploading content
- Naming folders
- Using Box Sync
- Managing content
- About university data
- Collaborating and sharing files
- Using Box Notes
Securely setting up your account
After creating your Box account, be sure to set it up securely.
Navigating in Box
Use these features to navigate through your Box account:
- Folder tree: Clicking the arrow to the right of on the upper left opens a clickable folder tree.
- Search: Use the search bar at the top of your
screen to search folder and file names, as well as the text of most
common files types.
- Filter: You can filter search returns to further refine your results by using the filtering options to the right. Choose the appropriate filters from the drop-down boxes, and then select .
- Bookmark: To save a search, copy the web address of the search, and then navigate to the folder in Box where you would like to save the search. Once there, from the drop-down list, select . Paste the address in the "Address of page/content" field. Enter a name and description if you wish, and click .
- Recently updated: Click the world icon on the top toolbar for a list of recently updated files. Filter your display by clicking on the highlighted term next to "Recent updates" on the upper left and making a selection.
Uploading content
Clickon the upper left to upload a file to the folder you are currently in.
- Select to upload a relatively small number of files.
- Select to upload one or more folders, or a large number of files. (Java is required for this option.)
Note: To upload a new version of a file, click the arrow to the right of the file and click.
The maximum file size for uploading an individual file is 15 GB.
Note: You should not upload more than one file larger than 5 GB at a time. When uploading a file larger than 5 GB:
- A business-class Internet connection with upload and download speeds of 50 Mbps is required; a 10 GB file will take around 30 minutes to upload.
- Internet Explorer 10 has a limit of 4 GB per file. For IE 9, 8, or 7, if the Flash plug-in is installed, the file size limit is 2 GB. These limits do not apply if you are using the option.
Naming folders
Since you may end up with many collaboration folders, establishing a naming convention with your collaborators will help differentiate and organize your folders. For example, you might prefix the folder name with the name of the submitting organization:
- For a class, use the class code, e.g., "A511 Jones Case Assignment", "A511 Midterm Prep".
- For work, use a departmental or group abbreviation, e.g., "CHEM Committee Assignments", "CHEM Lab Schedules".
Using Box Sync
For details, see About Box Sync.
Managing content
Make use of Box's features for managing content:
- File locking: While working on a file in a
collaborative space on Box, lock the file so that collaborators cannot

conflicting versions.
Click the down arrow to the right of a file, and select. You also have the option to lock files when opening them via the Box Edit app.
You can choose whether collaborators can download a locked file. If you wish, set an expiration time for the file to automatically become unlocked, which can be helpful in cases where you forget to unlock the file when you are finished with it.

- If previewing a file, hover over the file name in the upper left corner and click the row with the followed by the version number.
The file's version history will display, and you can download previous versions or replace the current version with a previous one.
- Saving bookmarks: If someone sends you a link to
a Box file (or any URL), you can save that URL as a bookmark within
your Box account; this can be a handy way to add links to useful external
resources related to a particular folder.
To save a bookmark, copy the web address, and then navigate to the folder in Box where you wish to save the bookmark. Once there, from thedrop-down list at the top of the screen, select . Paste the address in the "Address of page/content" field, and enter a name and description if you wish. Select .
- Tagging content: To make it easier to sort or
filter your Box content, assign tags to your files and
folders. Your tags are visible to collaborators on the files and folders.
To assign tags, select the down arrow to the right of a file or folder, and click. Assign a new tag, or choose an existing one. Filter by specific tags by clicking the tag icon in the toolbar (to the left of the "Sort by" link), and a list of your tags will appear. Make your selections and click .
- Trash: When you delete a file in your Box
account, you have 30 days to restore it from your Trash.
To restore a file, clickon the right. Click the down arrow to the right of the file you wish to restore, and select . This restores the file to its original location in your Box account. In collaboration situations, a deleted file goes to both the trash of the person who deleted it and the trash of the owner of the collaboration folder. Either can recover it.
About university data
Be sure to use your Box account appropriately; see What types of data are appropriate for my IU Box account?
To ensure that university data stays with the university as positions change, UITS recommends that departments use Organizational and group Box accounts.
Collaborating and sharing files
Box is a powerful collaboration platform, and has many features to simplify sharing and working with others. You can share files using two distinct methods, inviting collaborators and sharing links. For details, see Sharing files on Box. The following are some additional tips for using the collaboration option.
Accepting collaboration invites
You may not wish to be part of every collaboration to which you are invited, and you can make accepting such invites a conscious decision. To revise this setting, click the gear icon in the screen's upper right and select. From the tab, in the "Collaborating on Content" section, uncheck . You will receive collaboration invites by email, and can choose which to accept. Pending invites will also appear at the top of your main Box page.
Managing collaboration
When creating and accepting collaborations, it is important to consider how long the collaboration will last and how long you will need access to the files. If you are the owner of the collaboration folder, have a plan for if and when the collaboration will end and how you will inform your collaborators of that. Collaborations may end when you choose to end them, or when you leave the university and your Box at IU account is disabled.
For departmental collaborations that involve university data, UITS recommends the use of organizational and group Box accounts. By managing departmental collaboration within an organizational or group Box account, university data will stay within the department even as positions within the department change.
Using Box Notes
Box Notes is Box's online, collaborative word processor; it replaces Box's Webdoc service. Features of Box Notes include:
- Real-time collaboration: Up to 20 collaborators can edit a Box Note at the same time. When this happens, all updates are seen by other collaborators on the Box Note in real time.
- Text editing: Box Notes offers some lightweight text editing features, such as text size, color, emphasis (bold, italic, or underline), alignment, and bulleted or numbered lists.
- Annotations: Annotate sections of text in a Box Note by highlighting the text and clicking the speech bubble icon that appears. After clicking the icon, type your annotation and click . The annotated text will be highlighted in yellow. To view it, either hover over the annotated text with your mouse, or place your cursor within the annotated text. There can be multiple annotations on a single string of selected text.
- Hyperlinks: Add hyperlinks to text in a Box Note by highlighting the text and clicking the chain link icon that appears. After clicking the icon, enter the hyperlink and click . A collaborator can click the linked text to be taken to the appropriate web page.
- Shared links: Generate a link to the Box Note by clicking the button in the upper right-hand corner of the Box Note screen. If you wish to change the access level of the link, you must do that in the folder that contains the Box Note.

Vikrant P. Reddy | May 23, 2012
In 2010, the Texas Public Policy Foundation published "Analyze Before You Criminalize." Policymakers appreciated the checklist, but they also asked an important follow-up question: "This checklist helps us prevent new overcriminalization, but how do we reverse the overcriminalization that has already occurred?" In response, the Foundation has now released a guide with some answers: 12 Steps for Overcoming Overcriminalization. The recommendations are as follows:
1. Identify weak mens rea protections;
2. Adopt a default mens rea statute;
3. Enact the Rule of Lenity;
4. Don't criminalize offenses based on voluntary economic transactions;
5. Eliminate unnecessary occupational licensing requirements;
6. Eliminate delegation of power to agencies through rulemaking;
7. Require that criminal laws unrelated to controlled substances include potential or actual harm to an individual victim as an element of the offense;
8. Identify and consolidate duplicative laws which sanction essentially the same behavior;
9. Reclassify misdemeanors to remove jail time when unnecessary or convert to a civil violation;
10. Apply consistent criteria in distinguishing felonies from misdemeanors;
11. Create a commission to examine and identify all criminal laws that are redundant, unnecessary, or overbroad;
12. Apply the Tenth Amendment to criminal law.
The recommendations are followed by brief explanations and several notorious examples of overcriminalization. The complete document can be read here.

5 Tips to Combat Health Worries
5 Tips to Combat Health Worries
This morning I am taking my daughter to get her wisdom teeth removed. She can't wait for it to be over and I feel the same. Even though this is a routine surgery, it is still a surgery and can give rise to worry. Worry is not something God wants us to do. Jesus repeatedly tells us to be anxious about nothing, a tall order but one we need to live in obedience to every day.
Health is one of those areas it is easy to allow worry to get the best of us. There is a fine line between being too relaxed about health issues and obsessing on everything that could go wrong.
In new book, Letting Go of Worry, I provide tips for peace when it comes to health concerns.

Groupon Not Fully Committed to IPO, CEO Mason Says
Groupon Inc., which last month rejected a $6 billion takeover offer from Google Inc., isn't convinced it will sell shares in an initial public offering anytime soon, said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Mason.
The biggest daily deal website's commitment to proceeding with an IPO this year is "less than 100 percent, that's for sure," Mason said in an interview at the Digital-Life-Design conference in Munich. "An IPO is something we are considering, but we're just trying to learn more about the option at this point and understand the benefits and drawbacks."
Groupon, based in Chicago, sells users discount vouchers for goods and services. It estimated this month that it will get $573.1 million of gross proceeds from an investment round, according to a regulatory filing. The company is also talking to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley about an IPO, people familiar with the discussions have said.
Earlier in the month, Groupon completed a $950 million round of financing, a deal that valued the company at $4.75 billion, people familiar with the matter said. Groupon said it would use the funds to expand the business and buy back equity from existing shareholders.
Investors in the funding round included venture capital firms Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
Growth Seen
The company, which is weighing the pros and cons of an IPO, will seek a bank with which it can have a long-term relationship, said Mason, who's also the company's founder, adding that "it's less about where Groupon is this year than about where it will be ten years from now."
Groupon sends daily deals to 50 million subscribers in 35 countries, up from 2 million subscribers in the U.S. a year ago. The company offers daily discounts of as much as 90 percent from businesses such as restaurants, nail salons and clothing stores. It then keeps a portion of the revenue.
"There are tons of local businesses all over the world that we hope to bring it to," Mason said today. "We went from 3 million in 2009 to 50 million subscribers. We hope to grow at a similar pace in 2011."
Mason said today that the bank chosen by the company could be useful later on for financing and "helping find the right kind of investors."
While it leads the daily deal market, Groupon faces mounting competition from rivals such as LivingSocial. That company received $183 million in an investment round led by Amazon.com Inc. last month.
Google may also be considering a service similar to Groupon, called Offers, a challenge Mason shrugged off today.
"We don't get too crazy about what other people are doing," he said.

Introduction to Radicals -
Problem 4
University of MichiganRuns his own tutoring company
Carl taught upper-level math in several schools and currently runs his own tutoring company. He bets that no one can beat his love for intensive outdoor activities!
Simplifying a square root of a power other than square root. So for this example what we're actually looking at is a cube root. And the process is going to be very, very similar except for instead of needing to take out two of something, we have to take out three. So think about like square root of 4is 2, because you have 2 times 2 we have two of those. When we're dealing with the cube rot what we actually need is 3. So the cube root of 8, is 2 times 2 times 2 is 2. You need that one more component in order to take something out of the square root. For this problem what I'm going to do is go through and do it in one sort of long step. We'll deal with each component, individually take out what we can and leave whatever we have to in the square root. So starting with our cube root of 64, what perfect cube goes into 64? 64 is 4 times 4 times 4 so therefore, 64 is a perfect cube, we can just take out 4 and we have nothing underneath the cube root for that particular component. By the same logic, cube root of x³, we're looking for things that have triplets. X³ is just x times x times x so an x comes out and we don't have anything left in the radical.Y to the 7th, okay, this one gets a little bit trickier. Y to the 7th is actually 7ys, okay and what we have if you think about y² times y² times y², I don't know if you can see those, there's a little twos I have in there. That these if we multiply our bases we add our exponents so this is actually x to the 6th. So we can take out a y² and we're left with a y inside, the cube root. Okay, because three y²s will give us y to the 6th we have one left over.And our last piece is this z to the 5th. Z times z times z is z³, so we can take out a z and that accounts for 3 of our 5. But we're still left with 2 inside and there's no way to take a cube root if we only have two things. So by going through piece by piece I was able to figure out how to simplify this cube root.And the steps are pretty much exactly the same for a 4th root, 5th root, 6th root and so on and so forth, you just need a set of that many pieces in order to pull it out of the root.

The new owners (brothers) and one wife and kids could do with a good break for their business. What an adventure. Hang in there guys. I hope it turns out to be a goldmine for you. My father was gold prospecting in the area when the golden eagle was found and we have had a postcard copy for many years of which I will email. You can hang it in your museum.
My son and I called in recently on our travels. Have you found out what is the old bush railed area on the side of the road.
