Knoppix 5.3.1: Lenny Basis, KDE 4.0 and Accessibility Software
Klaus Knopper has released version 5.3.1 of his live Knoppix system. The codebase comes courtesy of Lenny, the next generation Debian.
After demonstrating the new release at CeBIT 2008, Knopper has now released an updated version. The software packages are from the Debian "testing" and "unstable" repositories. The kernel version is 18.104.22.168 with QEmu, KVM, and Virtualbox virtualization modules. Knopper has also moved the initial boot system from Initrd to Initramfs to facilitate customization.
Another new feature: Klaus Knopper now includes the KDE 4.0 desktop environment with his Linux distribution, although this is an experimental boot option. By default the current Knoppix still uses KDE version 3.5.9. Applications include Open Office 2.3.1. The 3D Compiz 0.7.3 window manager and experimental Compiz Fusion modules provide graphical effects.
Knoppix is renowned for its hardware support which now includes updated wireless drivers and IPW firmware; on top of this Ndiswrapper provides a workaround that helps bind Windows drivers.
Accessibility software including the first release of the Adriane desktop with text-to-speech and braille display support facilitates computer use for visually or physically challenged users. The Orca screen reader supports interaction with GTK+ programs.
DVD images are available for downloading from the Knoppix mirrors, Bittorrent and Emule.

What I'm basically trying to do, is delete all the user tables and constraints on my DB (this is oracle). The output I get is correct, but I want to know how I would run all the lines without copy/pasting.
Also, is there a more efficient way to drop all tables (including constraints)?

LIAT to get new aircraftDominica News Online - Friday, July 20th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
The majority shareholders of LIAT have decided which aircraft type will be used to replace the airline's aging fleet, the company said in a just released statement.
The statement did not name the manufacturer or the type of aircraft that will be used saying only, that the decision came after the company completed its analysis and evaluation of the proposals submitted by aircraft manufacturers.
The decision was made at a meeting in Barbados on Friday of the major shareholders of LIAT, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Freundel Stuart, Prime Minister of Barbados and Baldwin Spencer, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda and Chairman, Board and Management of LIAT.
"The company will now proceed to discussions with the manufacturer of the first type selected. The discussions are intended to end in an agreement for the acquisition of new aircraft for the airline," Dr. Gonsalves told a press conference following the meeting.
He said he did not wish to declare what aircraft type would be used. "It would also be inappropriate at this stage before discussion with the manufacturers to give an indication of the decision of the company in the selection of an aircraft type," Dr. Gonsalves pointed out.
The company anticipates that these negotiations will commence immediately and proceed swiftly and soon thereafter a formal announcement will be made regarding the selection.
Recently Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit announced that Dominica will be investing in LIAT with an $8-million cash injection.

Thanks on your marvelous posting! I really enjoyed reading it,
you can be a great author.I will always bookmark your blog and definitely
will come back later on. I want to encourage you continue your great posts, have a nice weekend!
Skerro August 21, 2013
LIAT needs to get a few 80 passenger small jet aircraft that can take people straight nonstop from Dominica to Florida in about 3 & 1/2 hours instead of taking two or three days to get to Dominica from the mainland US all they need is maybe two jets to start then get more as they make money. People would save on hotels etc. the hold overs in Antiguaa may be a conspiracy by countries like Antigua by having people stranded who have no chaise but to use their hotels.
Skerro August 21, 2013
$8 million of Dominican Taxpayers money into a failed company that makes a lot of sence.
J...... July 23, 2012
I don't care who they buy from or what they buy. All I want is for them to fly, leave and arrive on time at there destination's. Seeing that Liat are always complaning about losing money, why not ask Richard Branson to help. Whatever the man touches turns to gold. Shame he doen't start up an airline in the Caribbean.
jerseydominican July 23, 2012
one thing i like about human been is will bitch and bitch to ourself and when comes to give our view in public setting they don't give it we know that is a poor state .
phil me July 22, 2012
Liat new aircraft i think that's the one they going to get here is a better link http://q400nextgen.com/en/
dominican July 30, 2012
no i dont think they are gonna buy the q 400's, it doesnt suite the criteria for the short hopes the 300's are doing for liat… most likely they will go for the atr's
Liat has to stik with prop engine De Haviland it's cheper to fly and mainten here are the link to the Q400 http://www.wingsoverkansas.com/news/article.asp?id=1007
I left dom a week after labor took power.
i do not support any political parties in dominica or anywhere. Until someone puts the agenda of the country (red, blue and green )first and not that of outside governments and coporations. Liat is an airline I have never supported. 1 time was enough for me to be turned off of the airline. Privatize the company, sell it to someone who could turn a profit. Make it efficient
Fleet replacement is overdue. Those Dash 8 planes are quite good, but at least some of them which are still being used came into service around 1985 or 1986. That's quite old!!
I thought the plural of aircraft was aircraft with no "s" like sheep!
It hurts my heart to hear people keep repeating themselves that the investment that the Hon. Prime Minister made in Liat was a bad one. Bet you if he had paid that to American Eagle to come into DA it would have been the wisest and best-est decision he had made. Because its American Eagle. Do you know how much those other Caribbean Countries subsidising outside airlines and whether they are full in and out or not they still guarantee that subsidy.. I am in total agreement with Mr Skerritt better you prop up who you know than who you don't. He can now properly negotiate terms with the Liat board because of this investment. I also agree that the Dash-8 aircraft have been Liat's most successful aircraft but if they can get an even more fuel/ cost efficient model or aircraft then they should by all means take it. After all its us the travelling public that will benefit.
Come on people as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean isn't it our responsibility to promote a cleaner environment? $8m can't buy aircrafts nor a seat at the decision-making table, but at least it can certainly buy a few garbage bins to keep the new aircrafts clean. At least we are contributing ……
Check Wikipedia and you will see that one Dash 8 400 costs a cool US $27,000,000. That is MILLIONS for just one plane and LIAT needs at least 8 of them… You all think that running a small regional airline easy?!
profiler July 23, 2012
Very few airlines purchase planes. they usually do a lease arrangement with the aircraft company.
Crse turn to Blessings for LIAT, Keep flying high, nyour new fleet wil urge Dominica to enhance our Airport Facility. Leaders In Air Transport. The best Airline the West Indies.
Dominica is not a share holder so we have no say in any decision .wether the share holders by jet or sea plane we have no say .why the PM gave so much money and still have no say
And they will probably get new higher air fare rates too.
Skerrit could have at least send peepong tom or Tony to sit at the LIAT table. If we have no say in the purchasing of the aircraft how can we be sure that we willgrow have a say in decisions involving routes etc.
Peeping Tom July 21, 2012
buy from Bombardier in Canada,they also have seaplanes.
Why go wiht the same garbage all the time.
z July 20, 2012
De Haviland is atually a subsidiary of Canadian based Bombardier
Water July 20, 2012
I don't think you know about aviation.
Malatete July 21, 2012
The Dash-8 aircraft currently operated by LIAT are Bombardier planes!
MewMew July 22, 2012
That's true.
VIMADNESS July 21, 2012
De Havilland Dash-8's are part of the Bombardier Family. The company now make Dash8-400's but call them Bombardier Q400's as the "DeHavilland" part of the company no longer exist or sum'n like that
Would like to see them with jet engine instead of prop engine
Aviator July 21, 2012
So they cannot fly to melville ?
Jet makes no,sense on such short routes.
What do you have against the props ?
MewMew July 22, 2012
That might not be sustainable. BWIA ran an "airbridge" service to and from Tobago for many years but eventually conceded that using jet planes for short hops between the islands is expensive, so they resorted to using the De Haviland (Bombardier) prop aircraft. I'm not sure, but that might have been a factor in grounding the short-lived airline of the mid-90's, Carib Express.
Keeping it Real July 23, 2012
Unfortunately, jet turbine engines are inefficient for short travel, so it's more economical to have the jet prop engines to do these interisland flights, most of which are under an hour
To mr met-yo stop critzing D.N.O for not posting your comments I am very gratefull to have D.N.O bringing me great information across the world wide web in Southern California, I left home before you were born, and this is the best thing happend since slice bread, D.N.O bring me up to date info on all the major happenings so knox it off , stop hating, or get your own show.
Thanks D.N.O. .. [A NATIVE] .
Liat also needs to more efficient and cheaper. It should seek an airline partner.
As for Dominica – we should establish a 6 plane fleet of our own. Two running Dom to San Juan, two running Dom to Antigua and two running Dom to Barbados. No international airport required if we have Nature Island Airlines.
Compere Tig July 20, 2012
good suggestion
but wont agree with you on the no international airport part at all
we need that bad
u maybe stay out too long
pedroito July 20, 2012
Sakway sot
VIMADNESS July 21, 2012
Great suggestion! The International Airport is definitely needed in the future but not now, so i agree with you 100%.
These air heads are quick to criticize your comment, but they have no idea of whats going on. And how much of a strain this can put on Dominica.
People of Dominica need to realize that Dominica is NOT a hot airline destination, and putting and international airport is not gonna change that. We need to provide a market to attract visitors creating a surplus in air travel which in terms creates a need for more seats available to the island.
None of the International/ "Big Jet" carriers are not gonna operate a flight into Dominica where its clear that ther are making a loss. Hello !!!! Countries such as St.Lucia had to pay American Airlines for every empty seat on flights into their new international airport. If there was a such a need for a more seats American Eagle Would have had more flights into Dominica from San Juan instead of ONE!
St.Thomas, that is US, can't even afford to keep up with the costs of their airport but is Dominica all you want to go break it back. St.Thomas Electricity bill was a whopping $300,000 a month. And yes thats true, look it up! They had to end up installing solar panels to cut down on the costs.
ITs all about ECONOMICS. So stop talking shit and lets focus on whats feasible.
Dominica is an unprofitable route for any airline. Hence the 8 million injection, goodwill per say
walle July 20, 2012
Well then do something about it….. Or shut the up u jackhole
So sick of u dummi ni cants crying down ur country for everything.
Buy a ticket and move ur house, land and children to north korea if u hate ur country so much!!
lol @Liat and LOL@ Skerro what a joke!! 8 million is to subsidize the airline so that they can keep coming to this island. Like many commercial airlines around the world receive incentives to fly to different destinations. Liat is a dead dog, it needs privatization a move away from government ownership. It is so disgusting. But who cares thats how yall want it so thats how it will stay!
but why was our pm skero not at the meeting,i would really like to no.he just gave 8 million.
Malgraysa July 20, 2012
You are right. Perhaps this suggests that the $8 million did not buy any shares?
Water July 20, 2012
You should replace him.
HATE July 23, 2012
What do you all really think is $8million when u are speaking of airplanes? DO you know how much each cost?
$8 is nothing compared to LIAT Assets total.
How many of the New Fleet will $8 M purchase? stop thinking $8M is a whole lot of money when we are speaking of the air industry.
two single engine planes and can hold 2 passengers and are made by benja shoe. Lateness Is A Trend
Big Rasta July 20, 2012
lol. it have to be… that airline is pure waste of time always late.
It really makes no difference. BAD MANAGEMENT is going to continue to have LIAT in financial misery!!
It just amazing how they can come up with a speedy solution but not for the proper management of that airline.
Liat is buying new aircrafts but they are still not even giving a promisary note to their ex staff re their insurance money which is owed to them.
can you believe after a whole year Liat has not told these poor folks one word,will not even tke their calls. Will Liat have a conscience?
All I would want to say at this time is that I hope the new equipment (aircraft type)can be accommodated at Melville Hall in terms of runway length etc. If it is the DAsh 8 400-series then it becomes marginal – if it is the Embraer (Brasil short hall jet then Melville Hall not in it. Well that would be interesting.
I suspect that they will stick with De Havilland as to switch to another make of aircraft will entail quite a bit of costs which includes retraining the pilots,maintenace staff and of course restocking a new set of spares. So I think it would be Q 400's that they will go for
Water July 20, 2012
You and I thinking alike. Matter of fact I read about it sometimes last year.
@ Milly
All I can say is, Does anyone know what this cash injection by the PM means to D/CA?
Dominica is poorest country in the Caribbean. High unemployment, crumbling infrastructure and we are giving LIAT 8 million.
Remember those words" NO LAW NO CONSTITUTION CAN STOP ME.
aviator July 20, 2012
Yes this injection of money in LIAT means a lot for Dominica.
It means making a first step to a better control of our air access, by being sitting at LIAT's table and therefore having the opportunity to weigh on the best schedule for Dominica,
It allows to hopefully increase the number of flights to one or two selected hubs, in order to allow for same day access to Dominica, at cheaper rates, from North America and Europe,
It allows to deal directly with MIAT, which was difficult when Dominica was complaining after LIAT but was not willing to invest in this Caribbean tool.
It is quite easy to criticize but the options to improve air access at a decent cost were not so many,
LIAT"s move by the Government of Dominica appears to be a smart one.
It will not be enough, this is why talks with other airlines are required, but it will already be a good step.
DA massive July 20, 2012
support u comment, but we are not the poorest, need to get that out of our mentality
Room 101 July 21, 2012
We are the poorest!!!
Prof. Wikileaks July 20, 2012
Some fools repeat what fools say…and in so doing becomes foolish.
Qualifications for Representatives and Senators.
Subject to the provisions of section 32 of this Constitution, a person shall be qualified to be elected as a Representative if, and shall not be so qualified unless, he-
is a citizen of Dominica of the age of twenty-one years or upwards;
has resided in Dominica for a period of twelve months immediately before the date of his nomination for election or is domiciled and resident in Dominica at that date; and
is able to speak and, unless incapacitated by blindness or other physical cause, to read the English language with a degree of proficiency sufficient to enable him to take an active part in the proceedings of the House.
Subject to the provisions of section 32 of this Constitution, a person shall be qualified unless, he-
is a Commonwealth citizen of the age of twenty-one years or upwards;
is Domiciled and resident in Dominica at the date of his appointment or nomination for election; and
is able to speak and, unless incapacitated by blindness or other physical cause, to read the English language with a degree of proficiency sufficient to enable him to take an active part in the proceedings of the House.
So tell me where in the Constitution of Dominica it says that the Right Hon Roosevelt Skerrit could not be nominated.
Please tell me where it states that.
Now let's dicuss LIAT
Caribbean Airways have four brand new ATR-72 surplus to requirement, which are looking for a home. I'm sure they would be happy to enter into favourable leasing terms (wet- or dry) with LIAT.
One thing allu have it for me on that site eh. I posted my comment right after the story was uploaded at 3:39pm. I seeing 2 others approve and my waiting. Then it will stay waiting till tomorrow. Then if I complain, it will be approved. Including this message.
I doh know why allu like to provoke a roro like that
Dorival John July 20, 2012
One thing Dominicans not easy eh.
So you want to tell the people them how to run their site man.
You know how many times I never see my comments or my comments take a long time to be approved?
What am I going to say? Make noise?
MET YO July 20, 2012
hahahahaha…allu too mahjee…they know very well who this is..that is why they always do that…it is deliberate…i does test them all the time…and cross check…its because I know they know who this is..that is why I made the comment…so ease up on me..lol
Prof. Wikileaks July 20, 2012
Met Yo, this is where entrepreunership comes in….you don't like what this site is doing to your post, create your news website with auto approved comments and yours will fly through with no-vetting of your comments.
Stop relying on other people business…you are smart enuff…all you need is a little HTML Basic for dummies…
So that's what PM money was used for? Hmmmmmmmm
Did LIAT discussed the purchase with Skerrit after all he gave them 4 millions out of the 8 millions he promised them and how many of our people can purchase tickets to fly around the region muchless noth American they dont have jobs and that money could go into creating job
hmmmm insurance money + 8million investment = new aircraft…….smells like set-up to me!!….what do u think D/ca?
CONCERN July 21, 2012
Liat needs at least two 747 which will allow them to be more competitive with Caribbean airlines and the same time facilitating the needs of customers.
dominican my people July 20, 2012
747 cannot land in DOMINICA sir remember night landing we have.. not an International Airport
pedroito July 20, 2012
boy is dotish yu dotish not true zeh zeh/
yes my people July 21, 2012
lol..look jokes!!! A 747?
budman July 23, 2012
LIAT is for the purpose of island hopping. you expect to island hop with a 747?? have you lost your faculties?
I thought we became a Shareholder after this 8 million injection? LOL
Aye Skerrit…you good too we…hahahaha
EB. July 20, 2012
Yes, MET YO, we did become a shareholder of LIAT, but not a major shareholder. The investments made by Antigua, Barbados and St. Vincent are much more that the $8 million we just invested thus making them major investors in LIAT.

Dear Janet Tamaro
Social Media Lesson #1:
The internet does not forget
What's probably going to be happening at TJ's baptism:
No Janet, your ass does not look fat
Jtam, is it too much to ask for Jane to kick some ass on Rizzoli and Isles? I mean she knows how to box. Let her use those skills. P.S. can you write in the show that she knows how to play piano.
Hahaha GO GIOVANNI GO!!!
anonymous asked:
Oh gosh don't make me do this.
Janet Tamaro.
I owe her everything. She gave us the two characters that have literally provided my life something totally fantastic, and for that, I love her. Without her, I wouldn't have Rizzles. I wouldn't have any of the basis for the fanfic I write, and there wouldn't have ever been any basis for any of the fanfic I read. She allowed for my favorite fandom to be possible; a fandom which introduced me to some of the greatest people I have ever met.
With that said, she annoys the shit out of me. Continuity is terrible, and her lack of understanding of our fandom is insulting. How can she not see the chemistry that she herself created!? I mean, I understand if she doesn't want to make it canon. But at least acknowledge that the chemistry is there, and then either confirm or deny clearly whether she plans on pursuing that relationship or not. And have some respect for us! We make up a significant portion of her audience, and she needs to realize that.
The way she treats some of the people that come to her inbox is somewhat horrendous. But with that said, I don't think she's trying to be snide. I think she just isn't as familiar with online communication as we are, and may not realize how some of what she says may come across.
So overall, I don't think people should hate on JTam. I think she does her best, and I think she is a good person at heart. I think it's completely fine to criticize her writing, and the lack of continuity in her show, but as a person, I think she is more good than evil.

Article: Optimization of the expression of hepatitis B virus e gene in Pichia pastoris and immunological characterization of the product[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli-derived hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is widely used for serological tests of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Because it exhibits cross-reactivity with HBcAb in human sera, current antibody to HBeAg (HBeAb) immunoassays are based on competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) rather than sandwich ELISA, which interfere with the specificity and sensitivity of HBeAb detection. Pichia pastoris has advantages of eukaryotic cells, while having the capacity of high-level secretion of foreign proteins. To explore the diagnostic suitability of recombinant HBeAg (rHBeAg), we expressed the wild type HBV e gene (wt-e-gene) and the synthetic HBV e gene (syn-e-gene; native HBV e gene modified based on synonymous codon usage bias) in P. pastoris. The recombinant antigen was secreted into the medium. The expression level of rHBeAg was enhanced by optimizing HBV e gene. The yield of syn-e-gene product was approximately five-fold greater than wt-e-gene. The protein represented 66% of the total supernatant protein, and was simply purified to 90%. P. pastoris-derived HBeAg showed high HBe antigenicity, while lacking any HBc antigenicity and cross-reactivity between all proteins derived from the culture of P. pastoris and normal human sera. P. pastoris-derived HBeAg has higher specificity and sensitivity for detection HBeAb in the diagnostic assay than the commercial HBeAb ELISA kits.
Article: Expression of VCA (viral capsid antigen) and EBNAI (Epstein-Barr-virus- encoded nuclear antigen I) genes of Epstein-Barr virus in Pichia pastoris and application of the products in a screening test for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) serological tests have been used for many years as accessory diagnostic predictors of NPC (nasopharyngeal carcinoma). To date, IF (indirect immunofluorescence) assays still serve as the 'gold standard' for EBV serodiagnosis. However, IF assays are time-consuming, unsuitable for automatic handling and difficult to standardize. This makes their application in mass screening of populations inconvenient. Some of the technical difficulties associated with IF have been overcome by the development of specific ELISAs, but, at present, high sensitivity and specificity cannot be achieved simultaneously by using recombinant protein-based ELISAs, as the diagnostic value of different fragments of EBV in NPC is different. In an attempt to determine a suitable recombinant EBV protein for diagnostic purposes, fragments of EBV VCA (viral capsid antigen) and EBNA1 (Epstein-Barr-virus-encoded nuclear antigen 1) genes were expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, and a novel ELISA was established using P. pastoris-expressed VCA-BALF4 [aa (amino acids) 287-623; the BALF4 gene encodes the EBV glycoprotein gp125], EBNA1 (aa 390-641) and VCA-BFRF3 (the gene BFRF3 encodes a viral structural capsid protein or tegument protein VCA p18) proteins. Serum samples were collected from patients with NPC and healthy controls and were tested using this ELISA. The sensitivity of VCA-BFRF3, VCA-BALF4 and EBNA1 tests in the NPC sera were 65.0 (195/300), 76.3 (229/300) and 81.4% (244/300) respectively, whereas the specificity of normal individuals were 92 (460/500), 96 (480/500) and 95.8% (479/500). The optimum combination is VCA-BALF4 plus EBNA1, which identified 90.3% (271/300) of the NPC patients and had a specificity of 92.8% (464/500) for normal individuals. The results obtained from the evaluation of three antibodies to EBV as markers for detecting NPC suggests that a combination of EBNA1 (aa 390-641) and VCA-BALF4 (aa 287-623) assays would give better results in screening for NPC.

Look out. Twitter is way cool again.
Jan 12th
Happy to welcome my daughter Lauren Schaefer back as a guest blogger on {grow} …
Hello readers! It has been too long and I've missed you! I've been a bit busy graduating from college, moving to New York City, starting my job as a professional event planner and writing my own blog that has nothing to do with social media. But now I've had some time to breathe, so time to write!
As I have immersed myself in this new "young-professional" role, I've been noticing some social media trends among my twenty-something peers that you might find surprising. What's hot? What's useful? What do we not give a crap about?
Here are some intelligent and good-looking opinions on the platforms that we loathe and love:
Twitter: Among young professionals, Twitter is becoming the holiest of holy. The exclusive and elite. The smart and creative. You can be witty, you can be hip, #YouCanComeUpWithHashtagsThatAreSoBrilliant. And best of all, grandma — who is all over Facebook — doesn't know about it. Twitter is the world without the politics and drama of Facebook and it is the coolest of the cool right now.
LinkedIn: Every day I receive new notifications from my classmates. FINALLY. Hop on board friends. It's been a realization for my group that not only is this a tool we need while looking for our jobs, it's also necessary to keep movin' on up.
Facebook: No, we're not leaving Facebook. My generation will never really let go of Facebook. We've gone through too much together. Too many photos, too many exes to stalk, too much history together. But we have also trudged through all of the constant change Facebook has put us through and frankly, it's exhausting.
Among my peers, there are two classes of people on Facebook — those on Twitter and those who aren't. Those who are "Twitter-less" continue to post their lives, their trials, their tribulations on FB. But those of us on the 140 character machine, bitch openly on Twitter and "family-friendly filter" on Facebook. Twitter is the conversation. Facebook is just a place to archive photos post lame jokes. We can have Facebook open at work because we'll never post anything incriminating there. Twitter is where the juicy stuff lives.
Google+ In a word, FAIL. Seriously. We don't give a crap about our impact on SEO. I joined and built my "circles" and there have only been two updates ever … and one is from my mother saying, "great , something else I need to update. "
Everything that is cool about Google+ can be found somewhere else and we're already happy and comfortable with those other platforms.
Now, let's talk about a hot social media site for the young professional crowd and you probably have never heard of it: OK Cupid.
Yep. A dating site.
But there is something very interesting going on here. Once I got past the initial "creepy" factor of realizing that I'm old enough to be on a dating site, I discovered an exciting new social networking model emerging here. It's kind of like a combination of Facebook and Twitter for people you don't know — people who are not currently your friends but who might become your friends, or in Cupid-terms, an "adventure buddy."
Many of my friends are now spending more time on OK Cupid than Facebook. They are finding it fun to socialize, share restaurant recommendations, chat about music and books, etc. with new people who have similar interests.
Of course there are other social sites but I'm over my word limit and Dad is ringing the bell.
What do you think about these observations? Any surprises?

This is why you're not Seth Godin.
Jan 11th
Seth Godin is an insanely successful entrepreneur, marketing author and speaker. Is his social media model of broadcasting without engagement scalable for you too?
I recently received this inquiry from a friend:
I launched a new blog on Sunday. It's sort of a quote of the day/micro blog for entrepreneurs. It posts each morning at 9:00 and I have it auto-tweet so people can follow it that way.
My question is: Should I begin to follow a bunch of people on that account or should I just use it as a way to have people learn about the blog? My model is Seth Godin's blog. He has over 137,000 followers but that Twitter account follows 0.
Well, if it works for Seth, why can't it work for you? Let's take a look.
To be successful as a social media marketer, you have to find a way to move your content through an engaged network. To achieve this, you need a) a content strategy and b) a network strategy.
Seth certainly provides interesting, consistent, and relevant content and let's assume my friend does too. In this way, they both have a content strategy that could attract readers.
The second critical issue is "network strategy" … we need a place for all that cool content to go.
Seth Godin is a rare commodity on the social web: A true celebrity. Like Lady Gaga or a famous athlete, Seth has an engaged network purely because of who he is.
If you are reading this blog, I'm guessing you are not a celebrity. If you are, please let me know so I can tell my mother. She doesn't get the Tao of Twitter thing at all!
So without a built-in network, we have to earn our tribe the old-fashioned way — by actively seeking those who would be interested in us, consistently engaging with those folks, and being authentically helpful. It's difficult to do this by auto-broadcasting blog post links from a standing start. In fact, it's probably a recipe for failure.
People don't want auto-tweeted ads for your blog. They want you. They want to make friends and build new business relationships. And then, maybe, just maybe, they will read your blog posts.
"Seth Godin" is not a scalable business model for new bloggers and there are no shortcuts. To build social media success from scratch, you have to work hard at it — one connection, one blog post at a time.

Case studies: Using the social web for new product development
Jan 10th
I'm delighted to present today eight exciting new mini-case studies which demonstrate the power of social collaboration to create business value through new product development. These were curated by Amy Kenly and her team at innovation consulting firm Kalypso (Amy will also be a speaker at the April 27 Social Slam event!)
I think you're going to be energized by these inspiring ideas!
Business Challenge: Getting real time analysis of which future candle scents customers would be most likely to favor.
Project Details: Instead of relying on traditional market research and trend analysis, Diamond Candles developed a way to crowdsource idea submission and voting from their existing customers. The company then takes the top 10% of voter suggestions and cross-references that with market trend analysis to make final decisions on new scents to launch.
Results: The program received more than 250 new product ideas and 5,000 customer votes in just one month. This has established a plan for the company's R&D efforts.
Business Challenge: The Coca-Cola unit wanted to utilize Vitamin Water's Facebook fanbase to design a new flavor.
Project Details: Vitamin Water's flavor "Connect" was developed by the company's Facebook fanbase; one Facebook fan won $5,000 for her role in development of the new flavor. The competition allowed VitaminWater's Facebook fans to develop all aspects of the product, from selecting the flavor to designing the packaging and naming the product.
Results: More than 2 million VitaminWater Facebook fans participated in the new product development effort.
Business Challenge: Identifying a biomarker for ALS (Lou Gehrig Disease), a progressive and fatal neuro-degenerative disease.
Project Details: Working with the online crowdsourcing organization InnoCentive, Prize4Life launched a $1 million challenge to find an accurate way to track the progression of ALS and reduce the cost of ALS clinical trials. At least 50 teams competed from 18 different countries. Prize4Life's Scientific Advisory Board voted to award the ALS Biomarker Prize to Dr. Seward Rutkove. As a result, Dr. Rutkove's work has been accelerated and gained the attention of researchers from around the world.
Results: Using the biomarker discovered by Dr. Seward Rutkove reduced the cost for a clinical trial by 50 percent or more. As a result, the time required to determine the therapeutic benefit of a given drug in a clinical trial is shorter and requires fewer patients. This translates to potential therapies moving more quickly through the development pipeline, accelerating progress towards a treatment or cure for ALS, and creating incentive to invest resources in ALS drug development.
Business Challenge: To develop effective new ideas that address childhood obesity by increasing physical activity in "tweens."
Project Details: HopeLab, a nonprofit organization, created a competition called Ruckus Nation to address childhood obesity by using the global social web to generate ideas for products that will help kids stay active.
Results: HopeLab received more than 400 entries from 37 countries and 41 U.S. states. In tests conducted by HopeLab, many of the ideas submitted have displayed strong potential for HopeLab's product development efforts and six ideas resulted in patent applications.
Business Challenge: Develop products that solve customer problems, meet a need or increase efficiencies, on a limited research & development budget.
Project Details: Madison Electric's commitment to innovation led the company to launch the Sparks Innovation Center- the industry's first crowdsourced, collaborative approach to product development. Through their website (www.meproducts.net/sparks), anyone is invited to submit ideas for new products. The Madison Electric team assesses each idea's merit, and the best ideas are then presented to a focus group through the company's online Contractor Forum.
Results: Generating nearly 100 submissions thus far, the Sparks Innovation Center has been the point of origin for five profitable new Madison Electric products and another four are currently now in the production phase. The center has evolved into a go-to resource for inventors and aspiring entrepreneurs in the electronics industry.
Business Challenge: Managing resources throughout multiple time zones, geographies and languages to deliver new products and version releases.
Project Details: To address the challenges in managing a far-flung internal development staff, CDC Software relies on social network technologies to develop and deliver software from teams around the world. These social technologies are used at each step of the development process, including the commercial effort.
Results: CDC cut the time of product delivery from 24 months to 12-16 weeks. These cloud-based social technologies have promoted tight collaboration among their R&D offices across 14 countries, streamlined knowledge transfer and cut costs.
Business Challenge: Accelerating time to market and time to revenue generation.
Project Details: The Cisco Enterprise Collaboration Platform Business Unit (ECP BU) is a cross-functional development group that included team members from program management, product management, user experience, engineering, quality assurance, and their executive sponsors. This team used an internal social platform to create a collaborative community and integrate their work processes and achieve rapid product iterations.
Results: The team delivered its first major release within 12 months, a reduced product time to market that equated to an average 12 percent productivity gain per employee, or 28,000 labor hours.
Business Challenge: Leveraging knowledge and ideas beyond the company walls to develop new power grid technologies.
Project Details: In 2010, GE announced the Ecomagination Challenge, a global contest that was an open call for power grid innovations. Together with top venture capital firms, GE committed up to $200 million to help entrepreneurs develop their ideas and bring them to market. $100,000 awards were offered for each of five winning ideas along with the potential to collaborate with GE and its VC partners. Ideas were routed to subject matter experts and a final panel of judges to determine the winners.
Results: The Ecoimagination Challenge website had 70,000 participants from more than 150 countries, contributing 3,844 ideas and more than 120,000 votes. Twelve projects were selected to partner with GE and received development funds totaling $55 million. The contest's most popular submissions received a $50,000 cash award and GE also granted $100,000 each for five promising products ideas.
So there you have it — some really awesome examples of social networking and global collaboration. What had an impact on you?

Much Relief with this tea!

Posted by Reviewer1301239 on Nov 18, 2009
I have tried many remedies for gas, but this seems to be the one and only effective cure for me. I drink a cup every night before bed and it totally aids with my digestion. Growing up in Germany, Fennel Tea has been around since I can remember. I am 47. This tea has a very pleasant taste as well. Try it, you will love it.

Seems to work very well and quickly to settle IBS symptoms. I'm not a fan of black licorice but thankfully the flavour isn't too strong. A bit of sugar or honey helps!
Good stuff

I can't live without this tea!!! I have been drinking this tea for about 5 years now.I drink it everyday and almost every night. The tea bags are so large you can use one tea bag for 2 cups of tea. It is the greatest tea ever! It really does help with IBS issues and IHerb.com offers it at a good price.
Happy Tummy, Finally!

My husband ordered this tea for me as I have GERD and occasional IBS syndrome. It really works, tastes great hot or iced. My guests enjoyed, so I gave them a few bags to use at home. Don't be surprised if more orders come in. Also love the packaging and large size of the bags. It's nice to have a wonderful tummy again!

Five stories to watch at the Wells Fargo Championship
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup | Masters
The dust has settled on the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship and...hey...this could be the best finish on the PGA Tour in quite a while.
There's the Big Lefty, the Englishman, and the Ulsterman and oh man, we have ourselves a leaderboard.
Here are five stories to watch on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship.
1. Can Lefty win place or show? Forget the outright W, Phil Mickelson doesn't have a top 10 finish to show for his efforts on the PGA Tour this year. After a Saturday 63 he'll be expected to produce more fireworks on Sunday.
2. Is Rory repeating 2010? Rory McIlroy went 66-62 in 2010 for the four-stroke win over...Phil Mickelson. He went with a 65 on Saturday, will he close for a 63 for another win here?
3. Will we get a duel? I wrote earlier this week about how desperately the PGA Tour needed a show on Sunday. The pieces are in place (Mickelson, McIlroy, Zach Johnson, and Justin Rose), will they go at it for 18 (or more) in the final round?
4. Another first time winner: If Martin Flores or Kevin Kinsner wins on Sunday that would make the sixth in the last nine weeks. Good for those guys, terrible for the sport.
5. Derek Ernst: The defending champion only has one other top 30 in his career save his win at this tournament in 2013. He's T22 after three rounds, maybe this is just his course.

When considering Windows Azure and the Cloud, architects and developers are often discouraged, thinking that in order to move a solution to the Cloud it must be reengineered to support the Cloud. Fortunately, that is not the case as there are different ways that a solution can take advantage of the Cloud.
Designed For Windows Azure – Consider this option if you are in the process of planning or developing the next release of your solution. When you design your solution for Windows Azure, you take advantage of the cloud-based services available with Windows Azure – commonly Blob Storage, Tables, Queues, and SQL Azure. Going a step further, you may leverage the programmatic scalability of Windows Azure to allow your solution to scale up and down as it needs in order to handle additional traffic or increased processing loads. The Windows Azure programming model is what enables this for your solution (and the application(s) with in it) and it is worth getting familiar with it in order to optimize how your solution can leverage the power of the Cloud. To learn more, you can download the Why Develop in the Cloud: The Windows Azure Programming Model whitepaper.
Compatible with Windows Azure – if rewriting portions of your solution to use cloud-based services is not an option or is not on the product roadmap in the near future, it does not mean that you cannot leverage Windows Azure to realize the infrastructure and cost benefits that come with the Cloud. For non-complex solutions, within an hour, you can convert an existing web application or service project to a Cloud project, deploy your database to SQL Azure, connect the application or service to the SQL Azure database, deploy the Cloud package, and you are up and running (if you would like to see how this is done, try it yourself by following the steps in Deploying a Simple Cloud App). You do not have to use all of the additional services provided by Windows Azure. If and when your solution expands further, you can look at the additional services as available tools when you go to architect your new features.
If you have a more complex solution, the parts of your solution may not necessarily work well in Web and Worker roles. With the Windows Azure VM role, you can run your solution in the Cloud without any modifications. Though you manage the VM completely and are required to maintain the VM (patches, fixes, etc.), you are still taking advantage of the Windows Azure environment: immediate scalability, in-place upgrades with no service downtown, and load-balanced traffic. This is a great option with which to get started on your journey to adopt the Cloud.
Having said that, the best way to determine which areas of your solution can and cannot be modified easily to leverage Cloud services is to give it a try! Before you go ahead, make changes to your solution, and start testing those changes, you are going to want to:
When you are ready to leverage Cloud services in your solution, send me an email or a message on Twitter. I'd love to connect and see how I can help you and/or connect you with various local Windows Azure experts that can help you, and your organization, on your journey to the (Windows Azure) Cloud.

A corruption investigation has led to the arrests of some Romulus police officers, a former police official and his wife.
The Wayne County prosecutor's office says charges will be announced Tuesday.
WDIV-TV and WXYZ-TV report that arrests were made Monday.
Michigan State Police and the FBI have been investigating the police department for months. A search was conducted earlier this year at police headquarters, about 17 miles southwest of Detroit.
The Garden City home of then-police Chief Michael St. Andre and a tanning salon in Westland also were searched.
St. Andre cited a relative's health issues and offered his resignation earlier this month. It was to become effective Tuesday.
Romulus Mayor Alan Lambert has said the investigation stemmed from allegations secretaries in the department were paid with forfeiture money.

Justin Hill Golf Academy at Greystone Country ClubRead MoreThe 18-hole golf course at Greystone Country Club rollicks through the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, skirting past rocky outcroppings and pristine waterfalls. Architect Kevin Tucker molded the course to take advantage of these natural features, and then expanded upon them with additions such as the resplendent zoysia fairways and mini verde greens. The result is an outdoorsy challenge that forces players of all skill levels to demonstrate proficiency with every club in the bag, from the putter to the putt-conceding magic wand. After shaking hands on the 18th green, groups can then retire to the club's bar and grille, The Nines, where french fries can help tally overall scores.

Players must clear a meandering creek on the par-5 3rd hole, nimbly avoiding it off the tee, on their approach. Both hole 12 and hole 18 take hard doglegs left around a lake, while the par-3 16th hole features a dramatic shot into a unique island green, reminiscent of the famous 17th hole of the TPC at Sawgrass's Stadium Course.

Hidden Love - Poem by Littlewing28 EstherP
My thoughts are hidden in pastel clouds
Of a love created in mind
So enchanting is the fairytale
Allegorical significance is mine
Your way into my heart
You did find
It stayed with me, all this time.
In words unspoken, I needn't hear
Totally oblivious of my atmosphere
I roll in my world that is so bare
Accepting of everything, not there
Alas the burden is mine to hold
Twirling in my world that
Spins out of control
In a perfect world
we hold each other dear
No words to speak,
Just an element of heat,
A oneness,
beyond compared.
With wings of white, a sensual fantasy flight,
With great intensity and imagination,
Allowing us to escape to a world,
a private wonderland, deep in emotion.
The silver moonlight on the water,
A whirlpool of desire,
A delicate dreamlike dance of games,
Sharing a love for adventure.
Ill trust in your dreams,
Have faith in your visions,
And flutter with excitement.
Cause when it comes to you
And our love is true
Our ethereal world is mindless..

Mugabe Takes Over at SADC Bloc in Endorsement of Election Win
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe won an endorsement from his fellow Southern African leaders to head the main political bloc in the region, an affirmation of his victory in last year's disputed elections.
Mugabe, 90, was named as chairman of the 15-nation Southern African Development Community yesterday as leaders gathered for a two-day summit in the Zimbabwean resort town of Victoria Falls. He is also in line to lead the 54-nation African Union from 2015.
"This is an endorsement of the political change that has taken place in Zimbabwe," Aditi Lalbahadur, a researcher at the South African Institute for International Affairs, said by phone from Johannesburg on Aug. 15. African leaders are signaling they recognize Mugabe's "unequivocal winning of the election, contested as it was."
Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, winning a five-year term in a July 2013 election that the main opposition party, Western nations and domestic observers said was flawed. Since the vote, the economy's outlook has weakened with factories closing down, consumer spending coming under pressure and the government struggling to pay wages.
In his acceptance speech yesterday, Mugabe said SADC should reduce its reliance on foreign funding and focus on developing minerals-processing in the region. He also criticized Western nations for failing to condemn Israel's military action in the Gaza Strip.
Political Turmoil
"The Western world, which claims the moral high ground on issues of human rights and the sanctity of life, has looked with moral and academic indifference while the Israeli army continues to butcher innocent women and children, all under the guise of fighting terrorists," he said. "It is criminal for the world to keep silent in the wake of such crimes against humanity."
Zimbabwean officials were excluded from positions of power within SADC for almost a decade, as the country grappled with economic and political turmoil. State-backed violence, mainly directed at the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, saw sanctions imposed on senior ruling-party officials by Western nations.
Mugabe was the only southern African leader who wasn't invited to the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, which was hosted earlier this month by U.S. President Barack Obama with the intention of boosting economic ties.
SADC forced Mugabe into a unity government with the MDC after a violence-marred 2008 vote. The coalition ended with last year's elections.
Human Rights
Zimbabwe must respect its own constitution if it wants to have credibility as head of the SADC, activist groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said on Aug. 14. The diamond-mining industry still lacks transparency and the government has failed to improve access to water and sanitation or provide justice for past political violence, the groups said.
"Zimbabwe will have to show its commitment to human rights now that it's returned to the SADC fold," Deprose Muchena, director of Amnesty's southern Africa office, told reporters in the capital, Harare, on Aug. 14.
SADC's members are South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Madagascar, Namibia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Angola, Swaziland, Seychelles and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"SADC should also wean itself from exporting raw materials, but instead seek to create value chains that lead to the exportation of finished good," Mugabe said. "Our resources are capable of playing a pivotal role in the development of all SADC member states."
The regional bloc is hamstrung by a lack of resources and capacity and previous summits have rarely resulted in concrete action being taken, a situation that's unlikely to be rectified under Mugabe's leadership, Lalbahadur said.
"I'm unsure of the ability he has to further the regional agenda," she said. "Zimbabwe is still regarded quite skeptically by the international community."

CHICAGO -- Mark Prior feels like he is getting close to his dominant form. Teammate Nomar Garciaparra hopes surgery will help him return to the Cubs' lineup more quickly.
Prior struck out a season-high 10 in six strong innings and Neifi Perez hit a three-run homer and had four RBIs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 10-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
After the game, Garciaparra said he will have surgery on his groin Wednesday in Philadelphia and hopes to play again this season. Dr. William C. Meyers will not reattach the groin, but will clean up tissue around the injured area.
"The decision was made during today's game after coming back and talking to the doctors," Garciaparra said. "It's going to be a minor procedure.
"When you do something like this, it's not just the tendon, there's other tissues that often get damaged when you have something this extreme," he added.
The shortstop injured his groin last Wednesday in St. Louis when he slipped running out of the batter's box. He is expected to miss several months.
Prior (3-0) fought thorough wildness over the first three innings, throwing 63 pitches and walking two, but still struck out six. He had three strikeouts in the second inning but Austin Kearns reached first base when he swung at a wild pitch for strike three.
"It's coming. I felt probably the best I've felt," Prior said.
"They're a good hitting ballclub. Think about the hitters they got in there, (Ken) Griffey, (Sean) Casey, (Adam) Dunn, they're very good and tough to face back-to-back," said Prior. You're trying to reinvent the wheel as far as pitch sequences. Getting through those innings, matching their pitcher, gave us a chance to stay in the game.
Prior has won all three of his starts this season and is looking a lot like the pitcher he was in 2003 when he went 18-6. He gave up his first earned run of the year in the fourth, a leadoff homer to Austin Kearns.
Prior struck out Wilson with his 106th and final pitch to retire the side in the sixth. He gave up two runs on six hits and two walks. He didn't want to push another inning so early in the season.
"No sense in getting blown out in first part of season. I'm still trying to get into shape," Prior said.
Perez broke a 2-all tie in the fifth inning with an RBI single to right field off Wilson. Derrek Lee then followed with a two-run double to left, scoring Jerry Hairston and Perez to give the Cubs a 5-2 lead. Lee was 2-for-3 with two RBI.
The Reds pulled to 5-3 in the seventh on Joe Randa's double, but the Cubs added two runs in the bottom half on Jeromy Burnitz's sacrifice fly and Michael Barrett's double. Barrett finished 3-for-4 with two RBI.
Wilson retired the first nine batters he faced before Hairston led off the fourth with a double. After Lee walked, Burnitz hit a hard grounder to second baseman Ryan Freel, who fielded the ball on the outfield grass but lost control when he tried to take the ball out of his glove, allowing Hairston to score from second. Barrett followed with a single up the middle off Freel's glove and Lee scored, giving the Cubs a 2-1 lead.
Dunn tied it in the fifth with an RBI double off the right-field wall.
Griffey doubled off the wall in left-center in the first and finished 3-for-5. He extended his career-high homerless streak to start a season to 64 at-bats.
"I'm trying to be patient if possible, go out there and play as I can and see what happens," Griffey said.
Wilson (1-2) pitched six innings and allowed five runs on eight hits.
"I felt like I made some good pitches, challenging guys, changing speeds," Wilson said. "It's up to me go out there and shut them down and I didn't."
Chad Fox walked two in the ninth before giving up a towering homer to Dunn that landed on Sheffield Ave. After the homer, Fox walked Rich Aurilia. He then reached a 3-1 count against Jason LaRue before walking off the mound with an arm injury.
