You don't need to have a chromed strategy but you need to have some incorporate procedures, ways to communicate and navigational patterns, so always be open to change and unforeseen developments.
Online Marketing covers website and/or blogs, profiles on social media both on the web and via mobile devices like iPhone. Online marketing involves at least the following disciplines: seo, and ppc advertising, public relations, branding, conversion optimization plus tracking and analysis.
My point is that, by being properly prepared, one can create synergy between several disciplines, equivalent to letting the ball do the work.
Over the past years and months, search engine result pages (SERPS) have changed, especially Googles, and now shows the results from a variety of media on page 1; Twitter, YouTube, organic results, adwords ads and realtime search is now everyday and in conjunction, the views of search engine results pages vary depending on location, personalization and search patterns. SEO today, is a very broad term for the optimization of many types of media, video, audio, images and text. Last but not least, novelty and domain trust plays a big role too.
Social media like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and others can also be used in online marketing. Not as sales channels, not as one-way channels, but to create dialogue and attention. Online marketing will be absurd without SEO and the opportunities offered by social media can boost both seo for your online shop, your blog or your company website, and related social profiles on Facebook, YouTube, etc.
The important point is that you include all factors in the overall strategy, that you write down all ideas appearing and break them into categories, eg. by the media, and present them as a "tone" that you find, a playing style that suits the players' competencies and the ideas of the coach.
The Midfield
In soccer, you can play with a diamond constallation on the midfield, four players who constantly moves for each other when they have the ball and constantly backs each other when it comes to pressure. My suggestion is to start with four types of media and use them as a diamond, a blog, a facebook page, a twitter profile and a personal profile. It might be that whats to be promoted is a webshop, but it does not matter, a webshop is not a player, but a price.
A blog should address topics that are related to your store, your interest, your sales pages, or whatever it is you want to promote. I recommend WordPress as a blogging system, check out, that the theme you choose is SEO friendly (Thesis is cool).
A Facebook page will be your company's presentation on Facebook, where many people spend lots of hours. Remember: "What Happens in Vegas, stays on YouTybe" as Erik Qualman says. There are a myriad of applications for Facebook, including Social RSS showing headlines from the last 5 blog posts to your blog. FBML which allows you to do a lot of changes and other applications which can be used to promote your company on Facebook.
The importance of a Twitter profile is of course dependent on how large a portion of your audience are active on Twitter. Nevertheless, a Twitter profile is good to have as it offers a quick oppertunity to find news and react quickly in both attack and defense, Twitter is a very agile player. Your Twitter profile is important because you here have input in real time, and because you have the opportunity to respond in real time.
Your personal profile is reflected in the other three players, the personal profile, is the routined player who can keep track of the situation, is the personal profile is skilled at predicting dangerous or favorable situations and react according to experience. It is the personal profile that goes out on other blogs and write comments, it is the personal profile which shines through in the language and choice of topics and is the personal profile that creates consensus.
The Defence
The talented goalkeeper can win games and a good goalkeeper is supporsed to shout. The goalkeeper directs the wall and must be of absolute authrity and have 100 percent trust from the defence players.
The Four-back chain must be able to act at the same time, pull the opponent players offsite, and thus get the opponent's attack averted, hard fight, speed and offensive qualities also make a defense player better. Your defense is, as a starting point, to listen to what people say, and especially What they say about you. And then decide whether to initiate a dialogue by responding. With a tool such as Social Mention can see what trends for specific keywords (i.e. your name, company name, products, services, etc.) and Google Analytics is pretty good when it comes to statistics. Both services are free and web based.
The Attackers
Two men in fron does not sound of very much, but with support from the midfield and defense, it can be dangerous enough and as you know, the best defense is to attack.
The attacker's primary role is to score the goals needed to win matches. And scoring goals can be achieved in many ways; Be first with something that makes a trend, start using different medias for old tasks, eg. by communicating new things out via Facebook or Twitter, take advantage of your Google Analytics analysis reports and explore the boundaries of marketing on social media.
The Team
Players play games and practice but to successeed, there must be a strong support base. Your base is good rankings in search engines achieved through SEO, Adwords ads, conversion optimized landing pages, good informational pages and articles, reasonable prices and good quality in your shop, etc. Your team also counts those people, who ensures a sound business.
Let the ball do the work
By having all these things work as one organism, both soccer and online marketing gets better. Use Facebook to tell about your newsletter, use Twitter to draw attention to a new blog post, use your blog to write about things your customers want to know more about. Comment on others' entries on Facebook or Twitter, get more content on blog posts with user comments, use Twitter for customer support, use Facebook and Twitter to promote small YouTube videos, etc.
Make sure there are RSS feed on the blog, make sure that people can comment and use your "personal profile" when you reply.
In a small or medium sized company, it is important that all employees, everyone! Are involved and knows what is going on. It is important that the various employees are kept informed about issues affecting their field, but aggregation of data requires just a single employee who monitors the network. Bloglines RSS reader to follow news and article feeds, Google Reader to monitor alerts from Google, Social Mention to follow social media and Google Analytics to monitor web trends.by

Ok, I wasn't sure where to put this, but I'm wondering when the weekly challenges will start up again. I miss them!
I'm going to let Laura answer this one, chicks! But do know that fabulous things are in the works!
Hmmmmm - we had several challenge leaders resign...and are currently taking suggestions for new ones, and would appreciate your input...which challenges are you most eager to have going again soon? We will work toward those FIRST
I really loved the scraplift and sketch challenges. They really encouraged me to scrap outside my comfort zone and grow in my scrapping... I am eager for those to reappear.
i know we are going to be doing a lot of paring down and re-organizing to make this place more effecient and easier for everyone to navigate. hang in there, girls! we promise things will normalize soon!! we've got some great stuff in store for you!!
is everyone entering the CT call??!!
*EEK* ... my sincerest, most humblest apologies here ladies... I haven't resigned but I still haven't got my challenge up and running again... Please forgive me! :60: I plan to start again - just trying to reformat my brain, lol! Look for the inspiration challenge soon! :teeth_smi
I'm glad you're not gone, Marsha! I figured that part of the delay is just the aftermath of the holidays. I just wanted to know if there was something bigger going on (and there is!).
I can't wait to see what you find for inspiration--you always pick the best stuff, Marsha!
I think I loved all of the challenges, because it made me scrap outside of my box. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Sorry it took me so long to catch this girls. Here is a quick "what I'm thinking" for challenges.
I would really like to downsize this section so that things are not so overwhelming for the members and staff. We are in the process of finalizing some more Workshops like Michelle's "It's a Chick's Life... Scrap It!". So there will still be plenty to keep ya'll busy. I think we will continue to have the Photography Challenge, Color Challenge & Scraplift Challenge and then do a spin-off of Marsha's challenge by adding a Sketch/Ad Inspiration Challenge. And, of course we will continue with the Weight Loss Challenge which will run on it's own schedule. So, that will leave us with 4 bi-weekly challenges and then probably 2-3 weekly workshops. LOTS of fun! We have an ETA of mid Feb to have all changes to the site complete... so look for these challenges and probably some new leaders soon!
Thanks for sticking with us everyone!
All of this sound great! Can't wait ...
There is a Photo Challenge currently running.
Me too! I just joined but already played with one of Marsha's past challenges, and am thinking of doing a couple of the others as well!
Glad to know they'll be back, in some form!
Ooh, I LOVE challenges! I'll keep checking back to see what's up!

sphinx / doc / intro.rst
This is the documentation for the Sphinx documentation builder. Sphinx is a tool that translates a set of reStructuredText source files into various output formats, automatically producing cross-references, indices etc.
The focus is on hand-written documentation, rather than auto-generated API docs. Though there is limited support for that kind of docs as well (which is intended to be freely mixed with hand-written content), if you need pure API docs have a look at Epydoc, which also understands reST.
Sphinx needs at least Python 2.4 to run. If you like to have source code highlighting support, you must also install the Pygments library, which you can do via setuptools' easy_install. Sphinx should work with docutils version 0.4 or some (not broken) SVN trunk snapshot.
Setting up a documentation root
The root directory of a documentation collection is called the :dfn:`documentation root`. There's nothing special about it; it just needs to contain the Sphinx configuration file, :file:`conf.py`.
Sphinx comes with a script called :program:`sphinx-quickstart` that sets up a documentation root and creates a default :file:`conf.py` from a few questions it asks you. Just run
$ sphinx-quickstart
and answer the questions.
Running a build
A build is started with the :program:`sphinx-build` script. It is called like this:
$ sphinx-build -b latex sourcedir builddir
where sourcedir is the :term:`documentation root`, and builddir is the directory in which you want to place the built documentation (it must be an existing directory). The :option:`-b` option selects a builder; in this example Sphinx will build LaTeX files.
The :program:`sphinx-build` script has several more options:
- -a
- If given, always write all output files. The default is to only write output files for new and changed source files. (This may not apply to all builders.)
- Don't use a saved :term:`environment` (the structure caching all cross-references), but rebuild it completely. The default is to only read and parse source files that are new or have changed since the last run.
- -d path
- Since Sphinx has to read and parse all source files before it can write an output file, the parsed source files are cached as "doctree pickles". Normally, these files are put in a directory called :file:`.doctrees` under the build directory; with this option you can select a different cache directory (the doctrees can be shared between all builders).
- -D setting=value
- Override a configuration value set in the :file:`conf.py` file. (The value must be a string value.)
- Do not do colored output. (On Windows, colored output is disabled in any case.)
- -q
- Do not output anything on standard output, only write warnings to standard error.
- (Useful for debugging only.) Run the Python debugger, :mod:`pdb`, if an unhandled exception occurs while building.
You can also give one or more filenames on the command line after the source and build directories. Sphinx will then try to build only these output files (and their dependencies).

TopGolf International to build venue in Roseville
Golf entertainment business TopGolf International Inc., announced Friday that it has selected Roseville as the site for its first Northern California location, which the company says will create 450 new jobs and an estimated $265 million in economic activity over the next decade.
TopGolf plans to begin construction on the 65,000-square-foot facility in the fall, with an anticipated opening of spring 2015. The venue will be located at the intersection of Blue Oaks and Washington boulevards, adjacent to Highway 65, which is property owned by Bayside Church.
"Roseville is an ideal place for our first California location," said Topgolf Chief Development Officer Randy Starr, in a press release. "It's a perfect location with highway visibility, making it easily accessible to Roseville's vibrant and growing community of residents and businesses. We have a fantastic neighbor in Bayside Church, and the City of Roseville has also been a great partner. We look forward to making TopGolf Roseville a reality."
TopGolf calls itself a lively, entertainment-rich golf range with 10 locations in the United States and United Kingdom.
The new venue will be three levels and include up to 2,900 square feet of private event space and more than 100 climate-controlled hitting bays that can each host up to six players at a time, according to the release. Players hit golf balls containing computer microchips that track each shot's accuracy and distance while awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield.
"Topgolf is anything but a traditional driving range," said Chris Robles, economic development director for the city, in the release. "We think the concept is perfectly suited for our residents and expect Topgolf to be extremely popular. The venue offers something for everyone, and it is a great example of the varied entertainment venues we seek to provide for Roseville residents and our neighboring communities."
Bayside Church purchased the 59-acre parcel of land in June, and plans to develop a portion of the site for a new church campus called Bayside North.
"Topgolf is a family friendly organization, which helps attract newcomers, especially youth, to golf, and we expect they will be a great neighbor for us," said John Stewart director of real estate at Bayside Church.

Good sound out of a Line 6
Hello fellow musicians (Well I try to be) I have bought a line 6 Vetta II Combo about 2 months ago. Its got alot of potential by the stuff I have changed around with it, But there just is no good default sounds that sound good. So I have played around a but and just cant get a good heavy sound.
I obviously dont want to imitate any bands sound, As this should be copyright, But what is a good starting point on a good heavy sound with chunky palm mutes, sort of like a mix between :
[forbidden link]
and a ...And Justice for All sound
Yes I play alot of metallica, but not too much of a fan boy. And I know I can probably get no where near to there sound as its amazing especially when using a line 6 product.
So I'm just wondering, Is there any line 6 users that know how to get a good heavy metal sound out of a vetta ii combo. Thanks :)
I'd check on the Line 6 dot com web site. It has a forum and patches and shit. Welcome to UG and congrats on a pretty killer amp
Thanks, Finally someone replied lol. I will have to buy a midi cord I suppose, Didnt even think of trying out the patches. Hopefuly I can get one cheap retail, I hate waiting lol. Again thanks
You might just be able to ask on there for there settings, I am not sure how in-depth the vetta controls are, but I imagine that it would be plausible that someone could just tell you how to set it. Maybe I am just thinking impractically though.
You don't have to talk down about Line 6 for no reason. The people here worth listening to are very aware of the difference between a Vetta and a POS Spider. It just so happens that the Vetta II is one of the best modeling amps out there. Top 5, I'm sure.
+1 to going to the Line 6 forums. I've read some threads there and they seem very informative and friendly.
IIRC, the Vetta is a very deep amp, no? 2 months isn't long enough to be concerned over, IMO. Just keep dialing away. Take a day or two if you can and just sit down in front of the amp and adjust settings until you're happy. That's what you should do with every new amp you get.
Plenty of patches and settings available from Line 6 and their forums. Otherwise, please use the settings thread for settings questions.

Safety on Bay County's beaches could be in jeopardy after a decision Tuesday.
The Tourist Development Council voted to stop its portion of the funding for the Beach and Surf Patrol. Those are the people you see in the SUVs and four-wheelers on the beach hanging the flags and warning people to stay out of the water when red flags are flying.
Beach and Surf Patrol is funded jointly by Bay County, Panama City Beach and the TDC, each pitching in $66,000, but starting the end of the summer season a third of that money is gone.
TDC Executive Director Bob Warren told NewsChannel Seven he felt the money could be better spent on promotions.
Beach officials say the Beach and Surf Patrol is already short staffed for the spring break and summer seasons, and with an uncertain future, they aren't hiring anyone else.

As the "Silence from Seattle" continues, the message from Puget Sound reverberates all the way to the Rocky Mountains.
The more time passes without the Seahawks submitting an offer sheet, the more they are telling the Broncos they do not want star receiver Brandon Marshall at the expense of the No. 6 overall draft pick.
As a first-round tendered, restricted free agent, Marshall was the Seahawks' guest last weekend in the Seattle area. He flew out there by private jet, then traveled by seaplane to the Seahawks' headquarters, where the team's brass awaited on the dock for a welcoming handshake.
Marshall told friends that as he flew past Seattle's Qwest Field, the video board carried the message "Welcome Brandon Marshall."
An NFL organization does not lure a college coaching icon, Pete Carroll, from USC by going second class.
More than a sterling reputation, however, the Seahawks need wins. In the two years since Mike Holmgren proclaimed himself a lame duck, Seattle has posted a 9-23 record. Marshall and his 100 catches a year would figure to help Seattle regain its winning tradition, but so do first-round draft picks.
The Seahawks have two this year — No. 6 and No. 14 overall. Rules stipulate that if the Seahawks sign Marshall to an offer sheet, they would have to compensate the Broncos with their original, first-round draft pick, which is the sixth pick in the April 22-24 draft.
So far, the Broncos are not willing to budge from getting back a first-round pick in return for Marshall. And so far, Seattle isn't budging back.
Prater signs.
Apparently, exclusive-rights free agency is to a player's negotiating leverage what a penny is to currency. Not much.
Broncos kicker Matt Prater has been in the NFL, off and on, for four years but accumulated only three full years of service time. That classified him as an exclusive-rights free agent, which got him the third-year minimum salary of $550,000 — a deal that was officially signed and sent into the league office Tuesday.
Xanders gets deal done.
The connection between newly signed defensive end Jarvis Green and Broncos coach Josh McDaniels goes back to 2002, when Green was a rookie with New England and McDaniels was a green, defensive assistant with the Patriots.
Closing the deal, however, came down to two days of negotiations between Green's agent, Albert Elias, and Broncos general manager Brian Xanders.
"He's a grounded guy, the way he deals with agents," Elias said of Xanders. "We were able to yell at each other at times, like you would a friend. I can speak freely with him. We had never worked together before and there was no posturing. This was just two guys being honest."
Mike Klis, The Denver Post
This story has been corrected in this online archive to indicate Matt Prater's third-year salary of $550,000.

His superiors call him their "go-to guy" and now he's being recognized as the Marine Patrol Officer of the Year.
Sgt. Carter Witten has been chosen as the 2014 recipient of the Marine Fisheries Enforcement Award.
The 38-year-old was nominated by his district captain, Steve Anthony, who says Witten is one of those special individuals who separates himself by taking charge.
Over the past couple of years, Witten has taken on the tasks of removing outboard motors off boats and installing new ones, scheduling for new VIPER radio installations in vehicles and vessels, scheduling the removal of three radio towers, and organizing several work details around the state.
The Havelock native and former Havelock police officer currently serves as Sergeant over Craven, Pamlico and Beaufort counties.
He lives in Havelock with his wife Joy and 11-year-old son Taylor.

DENVER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/16/09 -- HS3 Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: HSTH) announces the installation of the companies N-SIGHT video monitoring system (VMS) into the most advanced Livestock transport trailer yet manufactured. Castane truck manufacturing of Barcelona, Spain has deployed their first computer managed aluminum livestock transport to the US. The transport is fitted with advanced electronics and environmental solutions specifically designed to aid animal welfare.
HS3's ongoing commitment to animal welfare in all areas of the human / animal interaction is demonstrated by this installation. Unique features include an elevator lift pen that raises and lowers several animals to any one of the three internal deck levels. The trailer features automatic vents that open or close when temperature dictates, or one of the twenty-four perimeter mounted automated circulation fans will engage and add water mist to the deck areas cooling the livestock. The driver can control the trailers internal environment by touch screen technology on a hand held computer in the cab. All environmental data of the transport is logged onboard for later retrieval. HS3 has installed hardened cameras alongside HS3's mobile N-SIGHT VMS system, capable of transmitting live video and GPS coordinates while livestock is in transport. Solar panels on the roof and banks of batteries create a self-contained mobile corral, providing onboard diagnostics continuously.
Live video is transmitted to the HS3 monitoring center in Denver where visual verification of all transportation pinch points can be continuously monitored. When areas of concern are observed or corrective action is needed, HS3 monitoring agents alert the appropriate customer. Alerts are designed to meet the specifications of the owner of the livestock. The trailer was designed to increase the likelihood that all transported animals arrive undamaged.
"HS3 is excited to be part of this installation as this again represents our commitment to visually monitor America's food supply from farm to fork," expressed HS3 CEO Mark Lana. Maiden voyages will begin shortly.
HS3 Technologies Inc., a complete security solutions integrator and provider, offers technically advanced hardware and proprietary video analytic software, while integrating security solutions uniquely designed to meet the needs of their customers.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements in this press release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the deployment and development of a Video Monitoring System ("VMS") in the most advanced Livestock transport trailer yet manufactured and will expand the observations and augment the compliance of humane care and production traits. That the observable number of animals will double, or HS3 will successfully deploy the VMS to several large protein producers that will lead to further instillations, that HS3 will have a system that can provide expanded, auditable observations that expands its current system of observations for humane animal handling, that HS3's technologies and integrated development of its proprietary technology (or real-time analytical technology tools) will expand the observation frequency and provide cross checks to the behavior of animals in a variety of situations that may or may not cause improper care to occur, that this expanded solution can be one of the most successful ways of identifying an issue and provide immediate corrective action by the parties involved, That the video analytics developed, and deployed in the US and Canada will also be universally accepted as effective for the monitoring of animal welfare throughout Europe.
Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, HS3's ability to design and manufacture its security and monitoring products and systems, the ability of the products to gain market acceptance, and the difficulties faced by an early stage company in the competitive security and monitoring industry. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

The only exception will be along the immediate coast where highs should range in the middle to upper 60s. Winds will pick up from the southwest and blow around 10 to 20 mph. The breezy conditions will increase the fire danger across the region. A cold front will pass through the area late Friday night and bring slightly cooler air for the weekend, with highs in the 60s. Dry conditions will persist through the weekend.

Many Baby Boomers Now Looking At Selling Their Family Home To Create Retirement Income…
Work is done, the kids have grown and have lives of their own, everyday life pressures have drastically decreased….it's Retirement time! What does that mean? Hopefully it means time to relax, time to travel, the opportunity to spoil those grandkids, and the time to enjoy life. To many this is true, however if your retirement income does not allow you to follow this dream, life may look a lot different.
Thousands of seniors do not have sufficient funds to live life as they would like. Instead their days are spent worrying about how they are going to survive when their nest egg runs out.
As baby boomers are reaching or drawing near retirement age, they are asking many questions and searching for answers. Many are contemplating selling the family home to help towards retirement planning. Prices and demand do not favour the seller in most cases at the current time, but there could be an opportunity to add some funds to your retirement income if you downsize.
Yet others are looking at renting out rooms and taking out reverse mortgages on their homes. Many are facing their future with a great deal of uncertainty and this is not a great way to feel for sure.
Len Davis, a retirement planner in Saint John NB who focuses on your retirement income, life insurance, estate planning and further financial aspects, says there are strategies that can help you maximize your retirement income. Even if you haven't planned as well as you should have in your younger years, or if you have already retired, there are options you should look into to protect your funds. Len Davis has been a financial planner for over 20 years and has helped countless people from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Ontario with their retirement planning.
If your retirement income is a concern for you, take some time to look into your options. Take a look online at a retirement income calculator to give you some idea of what you should be saving. Finally, talk to a financial planner such as Len Davis who can guide you on the right path for your retirement income decisions.

First reactions to President Obama's newly announced approval of same-sex marriage
The following commentary is part of a National Review Online Symposium, "The President Comes Out: What Now?"
First reactions to President Obama's newly announced approval of same-sex marriage bespeak shaky mirror imaging. While folks on the right are routinely critical of its very core, they're rejoicing in what they see as its politics. Folks on the left, meanwhile, while routinely celebrating the very heart of the president's change of outward heart, don't seem to be nearly as enthused (or even verbal) about its politics, fearful as many surely are that it will prove the opposite of helpful in November.
The latter dynamic may well manifest itself, and if I had to guess, it probably will—albeit not as consequentially as many Republicans and conservatives assume. A main reason is the great if generally unacknowledged rhetorical advantages proponents of same-sex marriage have over opponents.
Arguing compellingly against same-sex marriage is a complex and nuanced business, drawing on history, human nature, cultural coherence, and the well-being of children—and this last topic must be pursued without the aid of adequately persuasive research showing that growing up with same-sex parents is damaging. As for straightforward religious claims regarding the wrongness of same-sex marriage, by definition they are useless and worse on tens of millions.
Now take two things proponents can say in making their case.
"Hey, fair is fair."
And when talking with married heterosexual couples: "Tell me again how gays and lesbians getting married will hurt your marriages?"
Unless politicians and others on the right come up with better, simpler answers to fundamental, one-sentence arguments such as these, they're likely to be electorally disappointed, at least to a degree.

: Yesterday MediaTakeOut.com broke the news that Jay Z was trying to CHEAT ON BEYONCE - with a beautiful young rapper named LIV. Well Liv TURNED HIM DOWN - claiming that she had "too much respect" for Jay's wife. Plus she wanted to make her name in the business WITHOUT SLEEPING HER WAY TO THE TOP.
It takes a courageous CHICK to rebuff a man THAT powerful's advances. . . . but we gotta ask . . . is she CUTER THAN BEY.
Keep in mind that Bey spends HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS on plastic surgery, makeup and styling.

Britain leads International Emmys with 9 nominees
Monday, November 22, 2010
NEW YORK (AP) — Simon Cowell's kinder side will be spotlighted when the former "American Idol" judge is honored at the 38th Annual International Emmy Awards.
Cowell, who left "Idol" earlier this year to launch an American version of his hit British singing competition "The X Factor" next year, will be presented the International Emmy Founders Award in recognition of both his television achievements and extensive charitable work. The awards ceremony will take place Monday night at the Hilton New York Hotel.
"Here's a guy who has really changed television," said Bruce L. Paisner, president and CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. "He has taken the form of the television talent show, reinvented and repositioned it, and made it must-view television."
The presentation to Cowell will be the centerpiece of the awards show, hosted by former "Beverly Hills 90210" star Jason Priestley, in which 39 nominees from 15 countries will be vying in 10 categories for International Emmys, honoring excellence in TV programming outside the U.S.
British television productions garnered a leading nine nominations, including two for "The Street," the BBC1 series about the lives of different residents on a road in northwest England. "The Street" is in contention for best drama series and best actor for Bob Hoskins in his role as a reformed alcoholic who runs a pub and stands up to the neighborhood mobster.
Helena Bonham Carter is among the nominees for best actress for the biopic "Enid," on BBC4, in which she portrayed the popular British children's writer Enid Blyton, who had a troubled personal life.
The Argentine crime miniseries "Epitafios," produced by HBO Latin America, also received two nominations — for best drama series and best actor, with Leonardo Sbaraglia cited for his role as an assassin.
Other contenders for best drama series include "Clouds Over the Hill" (Japan) and "The Killing II" (Denmark). The comedy nominees are "Los Simuladores" (Mexico), "Peep Show" (Britain), "Talok Hok Chak" (Thailand) and "Traffic Light" (Israel).
Brazil received five nominations, all for TV Globo productions, including a best actress nod to Lilia Cabral for her role as a former model coping with a painful divorce in "Seize the Day."
The other nominees for best actor were Germany's Sebastian Koch for "Sea Wolf" and the Philippines' Sid Lucero for "Dahil May Isang Ikaw" ("Because There Is Only You"), which was also nominated for best telenovela. The other actress nominees include Germany's Iris Berben for "The Krupps — A Family Between War and Peace" and South Africa's Lerato Moloisane for "Home Affairs."
Paisner said some eyebrows were raised among members of the special awards committee when Cowell was first proposed for the Founders Award, which recognizes "significant achievements in television that cross cultural boundaries and contribute to our common humanity." But any doubts were quickly dispelled upon a closer look at his career.
The British music executive became a global celebrity for his caustic comments as an "Idol" judge, and then went on to create "The X Factor" and "Got Talent" franchises, which have been adapted by television broadcasters in dozens of countries around the world.
As an "Idol" judge, Cowell helped raise more than $180 million for charities in three seasons of "Idol Gives Back." He also has used his position in the entertainment industry to raise millions more for children's, animal welfare and other charities worldwide, recently recording REM's ballad "Everybody Hurts" with an all-star cast from Mariah Carey to Susan Boyle to benefit Haitian earthquake relief.
"The man is actually rather amazing in terms of the things that he supports and lends his personal presence to," said Paisner. "The more you look at this guy the more impressed you become with what he's done and he kind of hides it all under that rather gruff stage personality of his."
Jimmy Fallon will present the honorary International Emmy Directorate Award for longtime achievements by a television professional to his "Late Night" executive producer, Lorne Michaels, who created and produced "Saturday Night Live, launching the careers of several generations of film and TV comic stars.
"There was nothing like 'Saturday Night Live' before he invented it, and he's kept it going, and kept it fresh and topical for 36 years," said Paisner. "That in and of itself is stunning."

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Synonyms: S-adenosylmethionine biosynthesis
|Biosynthesis → Cofactors, Prosthetic Groups, Electron Carriers Biosynthesis
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Arabidopsis thaliana col [Peleman89], Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Expected Taxonomic Range:
It has been said that no biological compound functions in as many different types of biological reactions as S-adenosyl-L-methionine (known as SAM or AdoMet). It is probably second only to ATP in the variety of reactions for which it serves as a cofactor. SAM is found in all living organisms, and fulfils three important roles:
* In transmethylation, SAM is the principal biological methyl donor.
* In transsulfuration, the sulfur atom of the SAM is converted via a series of enzymatic steps to cysteine, a precursor of taurine and glutathione, a major cellular anti-oxidant.
* In polyamine biosynthesis, SAM is the donor of aminopropyl groups.
The structure of SAM was first elucidated by Cantoni in 1951 [Cantoni51]. The key to SAM's activity lies in the presence of the high energy sulfonium ion, which activates each of the attached carbons toward nucleophilic attack. In most cases, SAM reacts by transfer of the S-methyl group to a long list of possible acceptors in transmethylation reactions.
SAM is synthesized in the cytosol of every cell from L-methionine and ATP, in a reaction catalyzed by methionine adenosyltransferase. In animals, up to half of the daily intake of L-methionine is converted to SAM. In this unusual reaction, the adenosyl moiety of ATP is transferred to methionine, forming a sulfonium ion which is a high energy reagent that can easily transfer its methyl group to a large variety of acceptor substrates including nucleic acids, proteins, phospholipids, biologic amines, and a long list of small molecules [Lu00].
Superpathways: superpathway of S-adenosyl-L-methionine biosynthesis, L-methionine salvage cycle III, L-methionine salvage cycle II (plants), L-methionine salvage cycle I (bacteria and plants), S-adenosyl-L-methionine cycle I, aspartate superpathway

Studies in Software as a Service
You can find a web service that does almost anything your home computer can do. This month we study some examples of Software as a Service.
Years ago, it was common for an application to run on a central system with a ring of users operating through terminals or terminal-style network connections. This vision lives on today in the form of web-based applications providing software as a service. The web-application paradigm means no one has to burn the software onto a CD, package it in a colorful box, and ship it to a retail shop. In fact, you don't even need to provide a download link or offer a help line for users who can't get through the installation. All the end user needs to do is start up a browser and click on a link.

Northern Highlights (Wellington - Auckland) 0 countries \ 0 days
24 May 2011 - 29 May 2011 \ My friend and I jumped on the bus in Wellington and the group had already been together for a few days as they started in the south island, but they welcomed us with open arms! It was crazy how fast we all became instant friends and there weren't a lot of groups already formed...everyone wanted to be friends with each other! A lot of the people on our tour either came in doubles, and enough even came as singles, so don't be too worried if you plan to do this trip solo! The trip itself was so much fun.. I recommend rock and ropes, and white water rafting. The black water rafting wasn't available to us because it had rained a lot so there was too much water in the cave. New Zealand is just a spectacular country... I only had the chance to do the north island..but I think if you have a chance try and experience some of the south island because I heard it was breathtaking! The accommodations were awesome..from hotels to lodges to hostels (I've never seen such nice hostels haha)! The Bay of Islands is BEAUTIFUL..so hopefully you have good weather to truly appreciate it! Also, polynesian spa was nice and relaxing! Be prepared to party a lot... there was only one day where we didn't party like it was the weekend..but then had to make up for it the next day! Have fun! I'm definitely looking into doing another contiki tour!

The James Logan Forensics Team is one of the most notable activities we have here at Logan. They have competed and won in Speech and Debate competitions all over the nation. Mr. Lindsey, who founded the forensics team in 1984, has received many awards, including "National Forensics Coach of the Year," during his time here at Logan.
However, despite all the glory with the James Logan Forensics team, they seem to be in a bit of trouble, financially, at the moment.
They started a fundraiser in January to help pay for tournaments and coaches, since they don't receive funding from the district. As of now, they have only raised $3911 out of the $25000 they wish to raise. Although they only have 17 people who have donated to their fund, it seems like they are getting more donations as word spreads. They are still encouraging all students, parents and alumni to help support the program by donating.
If you would like to help donate to the forensics team, visit http://jamesloganforensics.com/donate.html.

CFP (Journal) -- Signs and Society
full name / name of organization:
Semiosis Research Center
contact email:
Dear all,
Signs and Society is a *multidisciplinary open-access* journal focusing on the study of sign process (or semiosis) in the realms of social action, cognition, and cultural form. Taking as its broad mission the study of "signs and society," the journal publishes articles that analyze sign processes and/or sign activities empirically—in some specifiable or generalizable social circumstance, historical period, or textual artifact.
The journal solicits contributions from scholars in traditionally defined fields as well as emerging interdisciplinary fields of inquiry:
Anthropology, Archaeology, Art History, Classics, Cognitive Psychology, History, Linguistics, Literary Studies, Religious Studies, Sociology, Semiotics, Digital Humanities, Cognitive Science, Global Studies
We are interested in becoming a dialogic forum for scholars such as classicists and archaeologists working on "past worlds" and scholars studying contemporary cognitive and social phenomena. We welcome studies that cross types of communicational media, from face-to-face verbal interaction to technologically mediated mass communication (both analog and digital), and types of semiotic codes, including linguistic, material, behavioral, and pictorial. Research in several fields dealing with the relationships between languages and textualized cultural complexes (e.g., narratives, performances, literatures, films) fits the intent of the journal especially well. While frequently understood as a real-time phenomenon, semiosis, in our view, includes modalities for diachronically and historically recording events in fixed forms, such as memorializations, museums, and archives, and for extending the range of communication from interpersonal, contextualized messages to the global "flow" of transmitted or commodified cultural forms. Please access our website to see what kinds of contributions have been published so far (http://www.jstor.org/action/showPublication?journalCode=signandsoci).
We take semiosis to be the most general label for the activity of sign production, communication, and interpretation in the realms of cognition, social action, and cultural forms. In using this word, made famous as a technical term by Charles Sanders Peirce, *we do not suggest that Signs and Society is another semiotics journal, nor do we intend that every contribution need advance the often arcane quasi-discipline of semiotics.*
Rather, we intend semiosis to refer to a set of interrelated dimensions—representation, codification, communication, entextualization, interpretation, regimentation, etc.—and to argue that research from many disciplines is required to understand their dynamic interrelationship. While the journal insists on this "big picture" approach, we do not expect that each contribution will treat all of these dimensions of semiosis. Rather, we seek to publish articles that, taken as a group, will illuminate this larger view.
We believe that our approach will provide flexible scaffolding for investigation and not be a constraining grid for explanation. Focusing directly on semiosis in its multiple dimensions, we believe, will promote collaborative translation across analytical categories and technical vocabularies already established in distinct disciplinary traditions and lead to uncovering unanticipated parallels in the ways semiosis is manifest in diverse empirical domains.
We encourage scholars from various disciplines in the social sciences and humanities to contact the Editor-in-Chief (Richard J. Parmentier, email@example.com) to discuss a possible contribution. For general questions about Signs and Society, please feel free to contact the editorial office (Managing Editor, email@example.com).

This is what Carmelo Anthony is wearing.
CounterKicks can exclusively confirm a few details on what shoes Carmelo Anthony will be wearing as a brand new member of the New York Knicks.
A special edition shoe has already been planned for Carmelo to wear with the Knicks that will be unveiled "in a few weeks," according to our Jordan Brand sources. As of right now, Melo is not expected to debut any special color shoe in time for his likely debut on Wednesday night in Madison Square Garden as the Knicks take on the Milwaukee Bucks. We are being told Melo will continue to wear his signature Jordan Melo M7 shoe, which probably will happen in one of the general release colorways below.
We also asked whether Jordan Brand might bring back out the famous Air Jordan X "New York Knicks" edition which originally released as an NYC regional exclusive during the X's first production run. The answer we got back is "not sure," so that news is still being processed and sorted out.
More Carmelo shoe updates coming soon to CounterKicks.

Eastern olivaceous warbler (Hippolais pallida)
|Also known as:
|olivaceous warbler
|Hippolais (1)
|Length: 12 - 14 cm (2)
|8 - 16 g (2)
Classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The eastern olivaceous warbler is a predominantly greyish-brown warbler with a fairly long, pointed beak, a narrow, square-ended tail, and a rather peaked crown on the head (2) (3). The wings are relatively short and rounded (3). The plumage of this species is quite nondescript, being uniformly grey-brown or pale brown on the upperparts, with a slightly reddish-brown tinge, and whiter on the underparts, with a buffy tinge on the sides of the breast and the flanks. The head bears a short, indistinct, whitish stripe above the eye and a pale eye ring. The upper mandible of the beak is dark, while the lower mandible is pinkish-yellow, and the legs are greyish (2) (3). The male and female eastern olivaceous warbler are similar in appearance, and juveniles also resemble the adults (2), but may have a slightly more buffy rump (3). The song of the eastern olivaceous warbler is quite loud and consists of fairly monotonous, scratchy and chattering phrases, repeated at a steady tempo. The species' call is described as a check, tec or click note (2) (3).
A number of subspecies of eastern olivaceous warbler have been recognised, which differ mainly in size and in the tone of the plumage (2). However, the former subspecies Hippolais pallida opaca is now considered a separate species, the western olivaceous warbler (Hippolais opaca), based on differences in its size, appearance and song, and on genetic differences (4).
The eastern olivaceous warbler breeds across North Africa, south-eastern Europe, the Arabian Peninsula and into central Asia. In winter, it migrates south of the Sahara to East Africa, as well as spending the winter locally in south-western Arabia (2) (5).
This species lives in trees and bushes in a range of habitats, including parks, cultivated areas, gardens, plantations, trees beside rivers or lakes, and palm oases (2) (3). It prefers areas with at least some tall vegetation, often close to water, and appears to require patchy, fragmented woodland rather than closed forest (2). In some areas, the eastern olivaceous warbler appears to prefer breeding within human settlements (6).
The eastern olivaceous warbler feeds mainly on insects and other invertebrates, although it will also take fruit such as berries in late summer (2), and has even been recorded feeding on nectar during migration (7). Foraging typically takes place in the canopy, with prey picked from leaves and twigs, but this warbler will also feed on the ground and often forages in low scrub on migration (2). The eastern olivaceous warbler has a distinctive habit of repeatedly flicking the tail downwards while foraging (3), often accompanying each tail dip with a call (2).
The eastern olivaceous warbler breeds between May and June, usually building the nest in the fork of a branch. The nest is a well-built cup, constructed from plant stems and soft twigs and lined with plant material and fur (2). Two to five eggs are laid (2) (6), and hatch after 11 to 13 days. The female alone incubates the eggs, but both adults feed the chicks, which fledge at 11 to 15 days old (2). The nests of this species are often parasitized by cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) (6).
The eastern olivaceous warbler is a widespread and common species, and is not currently considered at risk of extinction (5). As it often breeds within human settlements (6), it may be able to tolerate some degree of habitat disturbance.
The eastern olivaceous warbler is listed on Appendix II of the Convention on Migratory Species, which aims to conserve migratory species throughout their range (8). There are not known to be any other conservation measures currently targeted at this species.
To find out more about the eastern olivaceous warbler and its conservation, see:
BirdLife International:
This information is awaiting authentication by a species expert, and will be updated as soon as possible. If you are able to help please contact:
- Brood parasitism: a brood parasite is an animal that lays its eggs in the nests of members of its own or other species; the host then raises the young as its own.
- Incubate: to keep eggs warm so that development is possible.
- Invertebrates: animals with no backbone, such as insects, crustaceans, worms, molluscs, spiders, cnidarians (jellyfish, corals, sea anemones) and echinoderms.
- Mandible: in birds, the lower jaw and beak, but the term is also used to denote the two parts of the beak.
- Subspecies: a population usually restricted to a geographical area that differs from other populations of the same species, but not to the extent of being classified as a separate species.

When freedom is subjectively defined by each individual, it is reduced to a meaningless abstract. The only way freedom can be rationally viewed is in its pure, no‑compromise form: human freedom — the freedom of each individual to do as he pleases, so long as he does not commit aggression against others.Politicians love to talk about freedom, even while telling us how they intend to further enslave us. They do this by manufacturing "rights" out of thin air. The problem is that all artificially created rights are anti-freedom, because in order to fulfill one person's rights (read, desires), another person's rights must be violated. That is precisely what is meant by the infamous statement, "Someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so someone else can have more."The reality is that those who harbor such twisted thinking are actually opposed to freedom. Often, they are individuals who are unable to achieve success in a free society, thus they yearn for an external force (government) to "level the playing field" and equalize results. These are the people whose votes the liberal fascists in Washington have cleverly locked up.True freedom means freedom for the "poor," freedom for the "rich," freedom for the "weak," and freedom for the "strong." Human freedom means freedom for everyone.

Andy's Answers: Why Sanofi U.S.' social strategy focuses on life, not diabetes
By Andy Sernovitz on February 20th, 2014 | 49465Comment on this posthttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2Fsocial-media%2F2014%2F02%2F20%2Fandys-answers-why-sanofi-u-s-social-strategy-focuses-on-life-not-diabetes%2FAndy%27s+Answers%3A+Why+Sanofi+U.S.%27+social+strategy+focuses+on+life%2C+not+diabetes2014-02-20+12%3A27%3A01Andy+Sernovitzhttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2F%3Fp%3D49465
Retirement, college, marriage, and other important life changes are a big deal already. Add diabetes and you've got even more challenges most people don't see coming. Laura Kolodjeski, director of patient insight for Sanofi U.S., says these surprises leave diabetes patients needing help in the moment. That's where their project, The DX, comes to the rescue.
In her presentation at SocialMedia.org's BlogWell conference in Boston, Laura explains how they've created a social hub for content related to lifestyle and diabetes. She talks about their listening strategies, how they work within strict social media regulations, and what makes The DX an authentic diabetes resource.
Here are some interesting findings from her presentation:
- What they don't hear, they ask: For Sanofi U.S.' social team, finding topics that matter to their patients means proactively listening to multiple sources. They watch for unmet search queries, work with influential diabetes bloggers, and talk to patient advocates to find their next story.
- You can't fake truly caring about your customers: Sanofi U.S. avoids promoting their brand by choosing patient-focused tactics instead of talking about their products. But for this strategy to be genuine, they have to actually care about the people they're writing for. Laura says they do it by opening up regular conversations with patients and taking every opportunity to meet face to face.
- Compromises come from asking why: As a pharmaceutical company in a regulated industry, Sanofi U.S.' social media team often hears "no" from their legal team. Laura says that understanding the legal barriers and respecting other teams involved has helped them avoid getting into trouble while getting their message out there.
Watch Laura's full presentation below. The slides are available for download.

Rescue workers have removed what appeared to be a body from the rubble of a caved-in mall in the northern Ontario city of Elliot Lake.
Officials have not confirmed any details, but television footage showed some rescue workers taking off their hard hats as the stretcher was carried out.
Cranes have been toiling overnight to pull debris and clear a path for crews and search dogs to go into the wreckage.
The risky operation was initially called off on Monday over concern that a precariously balanced escalator might collapse on rescue workers.
But an outpouring of concern from the community prompted Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty to secure more resources for the rescue mission.
The malls roof collapsed Saturday afternoon killing at least one person and officials have confirmed that at least two people were trapped inside.

Memphis Minnie's in San Francisco – The Best BBQ
Memphis Minnie's BBQ Joint and Smokehouse
576 Haight Street
San Francisco, CA
I tasted a bunch of Memphis Minnie's barbecue at a tech conference this past weekend. I have no idea who Memphis Minnie is,and their website doesn't say, but I've found my favorite barbeque joint in San Francisco, finally. Even better, it was (practically) free. Here's what I ate:
- Texas Beef Brisket
- Smoked Chicken (drumstick)
- Potato Salad
- Collard Greens
- Macaroni & Cheese
- Corn Muffin
