What do I write about?
Apr 12th
In our information-dense world, I know how hard it is to keep coming up with consistent, compelling, original content. And sometimes you just get STUCK.
The problem is, many folks think they need to have all the answers to write a great, original blog post but most of the time, quite the opposite is true. You don't need to have the right answer. You need to find the right question.
The most relevant, interesting and timely blog posts often are created in response to relevant, interesting and timely questions. If you can find a great question, and answer it, you are likely on your way to a dynamite blog post! So how do find the right question? Here are four ideas:
Look to your peer groups. There are so many great places on the web to find questions. My favorite place is a LinkedIn forum. Did you know there are 800,000 different groups on LinkedIn? There is bound to be one that fits your interests. Go there. Look in the community forums. Find an interesting question. Answer it. Voila! Blog post. Other possible sources are Quora, Focus and Yahoo chat groups.
Look in your comments. I would say 25% of my posts come form comments from my readers. If it is relevant to them, it wold probably be relevant to other readers too, right? Ironically, this post was inspired by a comment about writer's block from my friend Jon Buscall.
Look in your key words. Many people post questions as their search terms. Go to Google Analytics for your website and see what questions people might be using to find your blog. Recently one of the search terms used to find this blog was "how do I start blogging?" I thought it was probably time to write about some blogging basics.
Google it. If you are really, really stuck, go to Google and type in "what do I write about?" You'll be amazed at what you find. People have planted lots of seeds of ideas and prompts for you out there.
How do you get unstuck? Where do you find the best questions to blog about?
New research shows Facebook impacting behaviors in formative years
Apr 11th
Guest post by {grow} community member Tom Webster
My friend Mark Schaefer wrote a provocative piece in this very space yesterday about why Facebook will become the most dangerous company on earth. Perhaps he underestimated the problem.
One of Mark's central observations — that a public company must find ways to grow, and Facebook's only path to do that is through you and me — was particularly insightful and, for some, alarming. I've been studying Facebook for five years as a researcher, and after seeing our most recent data on social media behaviors I can tell you this: It's scarier than you think.
In data that my company (Edison Research) just released yesterday, we found that 54% of all Americans age 12 and over have a personal profile on Facebook. This represents some modest growth over last year's 51%, but not hockey-stick growth, so one might be tempted to see Facebook's rise as slowing down, especially when that growth is trended over the past five years.
Not so fast. Numbers like "54%" don't tell the full story.
First of all, it is important to know this: in the same report, we show the percentage of Americans 12+ who have a personal profile on any social network as 56%, and no other network is even remotely close to Facebook. When we talk about social media in this country we are talking about Facebook, plain and simple. The other thing to note about that 54% is it's an average that masks some intriguing demographic disparities. Note the breakdown of social media usage by demographic below: (and remember, Facebook is used by 96+% of these Americans)
There are two important stories here.
The first speaks to the saturation that Mark wrote about, but in a different light. For the second year in a row, the growth for Facebook has really been people aged 45 and over. Indeed, the 12-34 demographic has largely been static since 2010. Certainly, it isn't wrong to think that it's pretty much all ashore that's going ashore with younger demographics. And, as Mark correctly pointed out, as Facebook's growth with older demos slows, the company will need to find ways to wring more data out of us in order to feed their shareholders' insatiable hunger for growth.
The second story, however, is more subtle. As I noted earlier, usage by the 12-24's haven't really grown appreciably since 2010. But look where they are "stalled" — at an 80% adoption rate. Now, getting 80% of American youth to do anything is an unbelievably powerful construct to get your head around.
You can't find any other media property remotely close to that. Heck, 80% of 12-24s don't have smartphones, or landlines, or read the newspaper, let alone use any one brand or product. That 80% use of social media (i.e. Facebook) is remarkable, to say the least.
Eventually, those 24-year-olds turn 25, and those 34-year-olds turn 35, and so on. Gradually, as these younger demographics age into older demographics, they will take these learned behaviors with them. In that sense, it's like smoking. Facebook has changed the behavior of Americans in their formative years, and they will take those learned behaviors with them.
With nearly 8 out of 10 young Americans making Facebook the hub of their online lives — and, thus, their lives — the ways in which they consume and share information have changed irrevocably.
Consider the number of Americans who have the "social habit" and check their profiles several times every day — while Facebook's Edgerank algorithm prioritizes the information they receive based upon our personal interactions — and you can begin to see just how much sway Facebook holds over what we know as Americans. These 12-24s are literally growing up with the news and information they are exposed to being curated by their friends. And by Facebook.
As a parent I am keeping a wary eye on this. Garbage in, garbage out, as they say.
What do you think? Am I overreacting? What do you see in the data?

Why Facebook will become the most dangerous company on earth
Apr 10th
Within the next 60 days, an event will occur that may be the most devastating development in the young history of social media and for the businesses and individuals who love it so much.
Facebook is going to become a publicly-traded company.
If you have ever worked for a public company you can relate to what I am about to say. If you haven't you'll have to trust me.
The pressure of "public"
The entire tone of Facebook and its strategy is about to change in ways that I believe could portend desperation and disaster. Instead of managing for a long-term vision, becoming a public company creates an inexorable and relentless pressure to meet quarterly sales goals. If you have ever been an executive in a publicy-traded company, other than hearing "A crew from 60 Minutes is at the door," there is probably no greater pressure in business than the demand to grow, grow, grow the revenues — To "beat the street," without exception, without fail.
Maybe it will will take a few months, maybe it will take a year or more, but inevitably the marching orders of Facebook executives will be determined by this constant drumbeat of "more, higher, faster."
Now, what is the source of Facebook's growing revenues? You and me.
Virtually the entire economic model of Facebook is based on a single tactic — collect as much personal information about you as possible as a way to sell highly-targeted ads. So for Facebook to succeed, it simply must collect increasing amounts of information about you. More information = more ad revenues. Pretty simple.
Through this lens, we can now view Facebook's new Timeline innovation as a clever move. The company encourages us to post and share everything about our lives, which will lead to more advertising opportunities. And, you can be assured that every new feature and innovation will be aimed at two things: 1) collect more information and 2) create "stickiness" so you spend more time on the site (to share information and view ads).
Is this sustainable?
So we have to consider — Is this relentless collection of information and selling of ads sustainable in a way that meets Wall Street's expectations for continuous and aggressive growth?
At least in the near term, Facebook's prospects seem bright. They are just starting to mine Timeline information. The possibility of organic growth in new countries like China present vast opportunities for data collection and advertising.
But will we reach a saturation point where it becomes impossible for Facebook to squeeze any more information from us? Will we reach a day when Facebook's insatiable need for data becomes annoying and invasive? Is there a theoretical limit to information gathering? Is there an upper limit to the amount of time people will spend on Facebook?
The other collision point is that the advertising model is in transition. Smartphones are already the first screen of Internet access for 28 percent of Americans and in some parts of the world (like the Middle East), it is already over 50 percent. Compare how many ads you see displayed on your computer versus the smartphone version of Facebook and you will begin to see the crunch Facebook will be facing.
Google, which went public in 2004, faces exactly the same problem of course and I think the pressure is starting to show. I found it extremely odd when the company (who professes to never be "evil") knowingly took a detour around anti-ad-tracking features on Apple's iPhone to spy on our private information. They stopped the practice only after being caught by the Wall Street Journal. Apple vowed to stop the Google's shady practices.
Why would Google do something this stupid? Well, by now you already know the answer — as a public company, Google is under incredible pressure to collect our private information to sell ads.
Similarly, executive bonuses are tied to the success of Google +. What kind of behavior will this drive at the company, when vast personal fortunes are at stake … and the platform increasingly appears to be a ghost town?
What will be the answer to the pressure for growth?
This is a glimpse of what we will one day see from Facebook, too. Undoubtedly they will look for adjacencies and new sources of revenue but nothing in the foreseeable future will come close to making a dent in their reliance on ad revenues.
At some point, Facebook will be faced with a reality — the well of personal information will be tapped dry. The opportunity to create advertising impressions will slow. Mark Zuckerberg will face unimaginable pressure from Wall Street and his shareholders. His company will have to find new ways to turn their vast resource — our personal information — into new sources of profits.
And at that point, Facebook will become the most dangerous company on earth.
How does this perspective land on you?

I have an 8 month old almost 9 months, in my care right now.. He is a preemie and is also profoundly deaf. He is not sitting, or crawling, just rolling over. He is also being evaluated for some low muscle tone in his neck.
My problem is his napping schedule. He has always been a cat napper, like 20-30 min naps 3 times a day. I get all excited when he naps for 40 mins to an hour. An hour and a half has only happened about 5 times in 3 months. It is getting to the point he naps 3-4 short 30 minute naps a day. Today was a 20 minute one from 920-940 and another from12-1230. I will put him back down around 230 as well
I watch closely for cues to tiredness. I put him down right away.. I also put him down around 2 hours from the last time he woke up even if he doesn't seem tired. He sleeps mostly through the night for mom and dad and wakes up around 5 for a bottle and falls back asleep sometimes till 6 or 7. He goes to bed at 7pm every night.
So approx 11-12 hours at night and about 2 hours here.. sometimes more if he falls asleep for a fourth nap late, like 430.
I will not let him CIO for a long period of time, but do you have any other suggestions.. Are some people born catnappers and it is fine?

STAGS HENS & BUNNIES, BLACKPOOL Blackpool northwest England, As far back as the 5th century BC Spartans toasted comrades who were about to be wed. An on-going project documenting Blackpool a Northern English seaside town. Stag and hen nights are about friends getting together to celebrate the bride/groom's "last night of freedom." It is a last chance to gather together a group of same sex friends they have known since childhood, or through school, university and work. Mums, dads, sisters and brothers also often come along for the ride. The duration of the event over recent years seems to have grown from the traditional drink the night before the wedding to weekends away participating in things the future spouse may not approve of. Activities are usually organized by the best man/woman and are traditionally kept secret. They often feature heavy drinking and cheap sexual initiation rituals and pranks. This at the bride or grooms expense, performed as a rite of passage to the "more responsible" marital life. It is a celebration in their honour (although it may not seem so at the time) and symbolizes the last time they're free from the influence of the new spouse.

Hey everyone, I'm replacing the old single-pivot sidepull brakes on a bunch of road bikes from the 80's, and I want to use these cheap dual-pivots from Nashbar. http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?c...0Road%20Brakes
(I'll measure the mounting hole to rim distance later.) Does anyone have experience with upgrading from 80's era sidepull to newer dual-pivot? The wheels are 27" with no fenders. I'll most likely drill out the back of the fork and mount an extra-long recessed nut. (http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...nting+Nut.aspx) Thanks.

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the late update but I've been real busy during and after the con. First of all, I do apologize to those of you I didn't get a chance to do a shoot with; I was a bit swamped while trying doing the best I can, but since I also got other out of con matters to attend to I was everywhere the whole weekend lol. (I promise I'll organize it better next time!!)
Second of all; it was a pleasure shooting with everyone and hope I'll get a chance to process them asap. In the mean time, I have a treat for those who haven't seen it yet.
So I've put together a video teaser on my facebook fanpage to the photoshoots I've done over the weekend.
So enjoy! (Do click "View in High Quality" to appreciate it better!)
Note: Starting Monday (March 28th), I'll be uploading a new photoshoot per day until the end of the week, so do come back and check it out!

I keep seeing a few posts about FTMs worrying about one thing another. It brings back memories - because, boy, did I worry about a lot when I was pregnant with my first. I completely sympathize.
BUT there were some things that I wish I hadn't spent the energy worrying about after the fact. Any other BTDT moms want to help me put some to rest?
"Looking back, I wish I hadn't worried about X because it really wasn't a big deal after."
Mine are:
- Pooping on the table - BTDT, not a big deal
- Saggy breasts - good bras fix it, and the hubby has seen worse (see #1)
- Stretch marks - they fade
- Getting less sleep - you adjust quickly

I love, love, love this Stevita drops. This Toffee one is very nice in smoothies with bananas and peanutbutter, in your coffee or oatmeal. I only use 2 drops and thats sweet enough for me. So this small bottle lasts a long, long time. Slip it in all your purses so your never without it.

Para el precio que tiene tiene un pase, pero vamos, prefiero la de now foods aunque sea un poco más cara.
Flavour is ok, but you need to use a lot
Posted by 5579739940349203331 on Nov 16, 2014
I like the flavor of this product, but you need quite a few drops to flavor your tea or whatever you are flavoring (I'd say up to 20 drops). I prefer the Now stevia products with the thicker consistency.
My favorite stevia

Your doctor may order one or more of the following tests.
This painless, noninvasive test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart. An echocardiogram provides information about the size and shape of the heart, as well as how well the heart valves are functioning. The test is performed by placing a probe on the chest wall. It is the same technique used in sonograms in pregnant women.
This test records the heart's activity by measuring electrical currents through the heart muscle.
It may show signs of heart strain or enlargement.
A TEE is a special type of echocardiogram where an ultrasound device is placed down the esophagus, close to the heart and aorta. It can provide clearer pictures than does a conventional echocardiogram.
This involves the threading of a tiny tube or catheter through a blood vessel in the arm or groin all the way into the heart. The tube can be used to measure pressures within the heart and provide information about heart and valve function or deliver "dye" (radiographic contrast) into the heart chambers and arteries.
When the dye is seen on x-ray images, it provides information about the heart and valve function and whether there are blockages in the heart arteries.

Not this time.
Go home loser! You are not fast enough!
Didnt do what was expected of him so far. Honda must be furious with him. So far de Puniet wiping the floor with him on a inferior machine. Really needs to step up and 6 place finishes for the next 3/4 races with the gap to dovi closing each race is the only way he can save himself - and dont see that kind of consistancy coming from Elias.For next year will Melandri except a customer bike with simoncelli on a factory bike? If he doesnt could possibly see Elias on de Angelis bike or de Angelis staying....
His factory spec Honda is not as factory as people think. Underfunding means they can't afford the fast parts that are allocated to him.Another problem is Elias' riding style makes it difficult to get enough heat in the rear tyre. They completely modified the rear now and it seems to be working but my guess is that it is too little too late. He has probably used up the credit he had in MotoGP. If you take into consideration that he won two GP's and had a 2nd and 3rd on the Pramac Ducati last year then you can't conclude that he is a bad rider.Consistency is not his forte though.
Well would you look at that, it's contract time.
The Morgue - He has only won 1 MotoGP race, Portugal 2006 he was no better than 5th anywhere else in 2006. All but 1 of his "performances" have come after mid-way through a season, just as the word "contract" is mentioned.
i have always been a fan of elias and would love to see him do well but given the chances he has had in this paddock i feel maybe he could be closer to the front.it is a shame other riders could not stay in teams long enough to see if they can step up to the mark. he should go to moto 2 next year i think he would do well there
According to Julian Ryder last race, Elias' bike has the factory parts the Repsol team don't want, so it's factory but nothing like the Repsol bikes...
i dont know with elias. i think he's the most reckless rider in motogp.get the f*ck out of my way.
Elias seems like a nice guy, a bit crazy with his riding sometimes, but still a fast racer. Unfortunately I think this will be his last season in GP. With the addition of Simoncelli to Gresini, it means only 1 seat is left, and Melandri I would imagine is hot for it so he can stay. My prediction, Elias to WSBK, de Angelis to Moto2. Who knows though, Elias has always turned it up a notch come contract time.

AG Series Secure Access Gateways
The consumerization of IT is in full swing. Workers want to be able to access to business applications from personal mobile devices. Array's bring-your-own-device solution enables seamless mobilization of any enterprise application to any personal device. Moreover, Array's BYOD solution provides a rapid, cost-effective path to mobility that limits exposure of the corporate network and fully eliminates data leakage.
Array's innovative, appliance-based remote desktop solution enables workers to use personal devices to control physical or virtual office desktops and applications from any location. Whether users are on their home PCs, on a laptop at a customer or partner site or on an iPhone, iPad or Android device, they can work just as if they were sitting in the office without the risk of data leaving the network.
The Array appliance is installed on the corporate network and integrates with existing identity management solutions to establish user credentials. Physical or virtual office desktops and applications are registered for remote and mobile access either by users or IT or automatically via a database.
To use a personal device to remotely control office desktops or applications, users need only a common Web browser or Array's free mobile app for smart phones and tablets. Users simply launch a browser or mobile app, log in and begin using their registered applications and desktops.
Remote desktop enables workers to access their office PCs, laptops, virtual desktops and applications from any device, anywhere.
Enable access to business applications from personal devices without exposing the corporate network and without the risk of data leakage, using proxy architecture and RDP over SSL.
Give workers freedom in selecting a mobile device for business with a free mobile app compatible with any iOS or Android version and platform.
Quickly and cost-effectively enable a BYOD strategy with a scalable appliance-based solution that is easy to deploy, manage and use.
Deliver any application on desktops, laptops, virtual desktops and terminal servers to a secure mobile app on smart phones and tablets to address the lack of native mobile applications for business.
While mobility and native enterprise applications are experiencing rapid growth, the majority of applications workers use every day to be productive are found on traditional Windows desktops and servers. Because physical or virtual application environments are provided to all employees, Array's solution can enable bring-your-own-device enterprise-wide, without the need for additional hardware, software or application licenses. When using personal PCs or laptops, the BYOD user experience is identical to being in the office. When using personal tablets or smart phones, the solution provides intuitive control over mouse, keyboard and other traditional Windows-specific functions.
The solution is enterprise owned and operated; unlike managed services, it is under full IT control and does not open the corporate network to third-parties. Connectivity from personal devices is encrypted over SSL and the Array appliance acts as a secure proxy, preventing personal devices from connecting directly to the corporate network. Because users remotely control office desktops and applications, data never leaves the corporate network, never exists on personal devices and never mixes with personal data – fully eliminating the potential for data leakage.
Though BYOD is in the limelight due to explosive growth in mobile computing, it is not limited to mobile devices; bring-your-own-device also includes access from home PCs and personal laptops. In addition to supporting iOS and Android mobile devices, the solution also supports remote desktop and application access from any Windows or MacOS computer. Deploying DesktopDirect, businesses gain a complete solution that enables mobile access, drives productivity and mitigates the effects of business disruptions, in addition to supporting freedom of choice for employees.
Repurchasing or redeveloping enterprise applications for every mobile platform and version is time and cost prohibitive, as is scaling virtualization to serve the needs of every employee. DesktopDirect is an ideal complement to existing native mobile app solutions and supports any mix physical or virtual desktops and applications. In this manner, existing infrastructure is maximized, the need for additional hardware and software is minimized and businesses can expand investments in native mobile apps and virtualization in an intelligent and cost-conscious manner. What's more, the solution can be set up in as little as a few hours and can achieve ROI in the time it takes to deploy other solutions.

Oreo Cupcakes
The recipe i got was from a website so its not mine and i thought that i would like to share the recipe with you guys!!
- Yield: 24 cupcakes
- Ingredients:
- For the cupcakes:
- 24 Oreo halves, with cream filling attached
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 8 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 20 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped (I quarter them)
For the frosting:
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 2 tbsp. heavy cream
For garnish:
- Oreo cookie crumbs
- 24 Oreo cookie halves
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line the wells of two cupcake pans with 24 paper liners. Place an Oreo halve in the bottom of each liner, cream side up. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir together with a fork to blend and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Blend in the egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, beat in half of the dry ingredients just until incorporated. Add the milk and beat just until combined, then mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Gently fold in the chopped Oreos with a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated, being careful not to over-mix.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, combine the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Blend in the vanilla extract. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until incorporated and smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add the heavy cream to the bowl and beat on medium-low speed just until incorporated, then increase the speed to medium-high and whip for 4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Frost the cooled cupcakes as desired. Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs and garnish with Oreo halves.

On Wednesday, April 29, a hearing will be held in the House of Representatives to consider funding for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. This is an opportunity to weigh in on the importance of federal funding for medical research and public health preparedness.
At NORD, our goal is to help develop safe, innovative treatment options to fight rare diseases. We need Congress to provide adequate funding to support medical research that can lead to lifesaving cures.
Join Research America in a day-long social media campaign letting Congress know that Americans care about medical progress and want a stronger public health system.
Learn more at www.researchamerica.org and join the conversation using the hashtag #findfundcure.
Related news: Read NORD's Assistant Director of Public Policy Paul Melmeyer's blog post, "Medical Research Should Be Everyone's Priority"
I'm honored to be speaking at the NORD Breakthrough Summit on Rare Diseases and Orphan Products in October. Social media, as I continue to learn more every day, is an always changing, rapidly moving, fickle and funny world. Trends can get hot and can come and go overnight, and others go on and on (ALS). Our journey for the last year has been to advocate and fundraise for Sanfilippo Syndrome, with which my 4-year-old daughter Eliza was diagnosed. This rapidly degenerative, terminal disease has no treatment to slow it, and no cure..but a clinical trial is potentially only months away. We've been fortunate to have some ideas take off and be successful in the social media world, like the 3- minute viral video at www.SavingEliza.com, which raised over $1M in less than 3 months. At the NORD Summit, I will talk about how that came to be and lessons learned along the way.
Today is the day when people around the world will be posting stories, photos and videos about what it means to live with a rare disease. From Kalamazoo to Kiev, the last day of February is observed as Rare Disease Day. read more >
The first week of December marked the third international meeting of the RareConnect team. I joined my fellow community managers in sunny Barcelona, Spain to meet and plan 2013 initiatives for RareConnect. read more >

Although, I am sure that if you look hard enough, you can still find the images somewhere on the web — just not here.

Oak Park recoups $400K from Foley-Rice settlement
Three year court battle settles in village's favor
By Anna Lothson
A legal dispute over a 2005 business retention agreement between the Village of Oak Park and the owners of the former car dealership Foley-Rice Cadillac has ended, and the settlement will put more than $500,000 back into the hands of the village government.
The original agreement was made in an attempt to keep the dealership in the village after the owners, under pressure from Detroit carmakers, said the dealership, located at 711 Madison St., would leave if it could not expand. The deal allowed Foley-Rice to lease village-owned lots on Madison for $1 per year, according to an October 2009 Wednesday Journal article. The village also contributed $400,000 in tax increment finance funds for the expansion.
The business retention agreement was set to expire in January 2017, but the dealership unexpectedly closed its doors in 2007 when General Motors terminated the franchise agreement. The owners failed to find another dealership to fill the space and instead started renting the property to a gym.
A lawsuit filed in October 2009 by the village claimed that decision broke the agreement by not fulfilling its financial obligations to the village. The lawsuit also claimed that, despite knowing the franchise agreement would not be renewed, the dealership still sold its property at 722 Madison to the village for $1.5 million.
The legal settlement will recoup the village's $400,000 investment, which was approved a week ago Monday by the village board, paving the way to end the three-year battle. In a follow-up interview, Village President David Pope said the village did not seek beyond what it was owed in the business retention agreement and legal fees.
Pending approval by a judge later this month, Foley Rice Inc. and Essex-Foley LLC will pay the village $350,000 by the end of the year and the remaining $50,000 is due in increments before the end of 2013. The village has also recovered $134,750 for its attorney fees.

This is a hollow victory as it only highlights the ineptness of OP with regard to business and the fact the building is a shell. Perhaps a cohesive and well thought out strategy would make more sense? Sad

Oak Park has been slow to clean up this mess. How about charging for the free parking spaces on the entrance to Wesley Ave? The landlord across the street has capitalized on the free parking for its tenants, who pay nothing for 24 hr. village space

Yeah, did you read. VOP had already given them $400,000. VOP should just walk away??

Yeah, that'll show 'em!

Not sure we should be crowing about socking it good to former Mad St businesses. What's to be gained by displaying Foley-Rice's head on a stake to potential Mad St investors? This is lose-lose. And is parking on moribund Mad St really worth $500K?

From: Annalee Huey
The application for a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) proposed by William Gelfius in eastern Bartholomew County will come before the Board of Zoning Appeals again later this month. This proposed hog factory will affect not only those of us living near the site; the negative effects of this kind of industry will impact the entire county.
Those living closest to the proposed hog factory certainly have a greater chance of being affected. Concern over odors, airborne pathogens and insects that can carry them has been documented in many publications. However, according to the National Association of Local Boards of Health, CAFO odors can be smelled from as much as five or six miles away, although three miles is a more common distance. Anyone visiting Anderson Falls will also be subject to these problems. This Nature Preserve, the only specified Nature Preserve in Bartholomew County, is across the road from the land where the CAFO is planned.
According to the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, more than 1 million Americans are estimated to take their drinking water from groundwater that shows moderate or severe contamination with nitrogen-containing pollutants. Much of this pollution is caused by the high rate of land application of animal wastes from CAFOs.
Ammonia in CAFO waste can cause bright green algae blooms in ditches, streams and lakes. When the algae blooms die off, oxygen in the water is depleted, which leads to fish kills. Water contamination from CAFOs can come from several sources and can contain pathogens such as salmonella, E. coli and cryptosporidium. Water is not static. Water flows, and if the water around this proposed hog factory becomes polluted, it will flow into Fall Fork Creek, where Anderson Falls is located, to Clifty Creek, to the East Fork of White River.
CAFOs can affect the economy in a variety of ways. They bring very few jobs into the community and do not tend to bring further industry to the area, except for maybe more CAFOs. Although studies differ as to the extent of the decrease in property values, there is much consensus to the fact that the closer one lives to a CAFO, the larger the decrease in property value. Over time that leads to a decrease in taxes and revenue supporting the entire county. If the water supply does become polluted, county dollars will be spent cleaning up the problem, not the CAFO owner's dollars.
Effects of a CAFO are felt not just in the immediate area surrounding such an operation. They have far-reaching implications. The negative aspects associated with these industrial facilities are capable of harming thousands of residents, whereas the positive aspects will benefit only a few. CAFOs work in areas that are sparsely populated, not situated near homes or public areas. This proposed CAFO would be near both.

CINCINNATI -- Carlos Lee can relate to Barry Bonds. Chasing a milestone homer can be tough.
Lee hit his 200th career home run, his first in 14 games, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-2 to salvage the finale of a three-game series Wednesday night.
Lee snapped a 3-for-30 slump by going 2-for-3 with two-run shot off Brandon Claussen (3-5), who fell to 1-6 in his career against Milwaukee.
"It felt like Barry Bonds getting 714," Lee said as the ball he hit for the milestone homer was being authenticated. "It was the reason I slid a little bit. It feels good to get it -- plus we got the win."
Lee's homer was his 16th of the season and first since May 9.
"When you make pitches up in the zone to Carlos Lee, there's a good chance you're not going to get it back," Reds manager Jerry Narron said.
Damian Miller had two doubles and Brady Clark had three hits for Milwaukee to help Doug Davis (3-3) earn his first win in four starts.
"We don't seem like we hit Davis too well," Narron said. "I think it's a rhythm thing. He works slow and has a slow delivery, and I think our guys get settled in against him."
The left-hander, who had two no-decisions and a loss in that stretch, gave up five hits and two runs with three walks and four strikeouts in seven innings.
"I thought I was making my pitches for most of the night," Davis said. "My changeup was big all night. If you stay out of the big inning, you have a chance to go deep in the game. Tonight was a big help. It got the bullpen some rest."
Matt Wise pitched the eighth and Derrick Turnbow closed out the game in the ninth.
The Brewers took a 1-0 lead before making an out in the first inning. Claussen walked Rickie Weeks to lead off the game, and Weeks came around to score on Jeff Cirillo's double. After Geoff Jenkins lined out to second, Cirillo moved to third on Lee's single to right and scored on Prince Fielder's sacrifice fly.
"It was brutal," Claussen said. "I started the game off bad. I never got in a rhythm out there. I threw pitches that should have gotten hit."
Narron said, "I think he came out and wasn't aggressive in the first inning. We'd like to see him throw more strikes. He even admitted that he was picking. We've told him that we'd like to see him get guys out early in the count.
Milwaukee, which had lost four of its last five games, extended the lead to 3-0 in the second when Davis put down a squeeze bunt to score Miller.
The Reds cut the lead to 3-1 in the third when Claussen scored on Ken Griffey Jr.'s bases-loaded chopper to first, but Lee gave the Brewers a four-run lead with a 424-foot homer to left in the fifth after Jenkins was hit by a pitch with two outs.
"Two outs and I hit a guy," Claussen said. "I feel like, sometimes, I'm my own worst enemy. I go out and try to be too fine. The first two innings, I was pitching scared."
Austin Kearns made it 5-2 in the sixth with his 10th homer and second in three games, an opposite-field shot into the visitors' bullpen down the right-field line. The Brewers regained their four-run lead in the seventh when Weeks scored on Fielder's bases-loaded groundout.
Claussen lasted six innings while falling to 1-3 over his last five starts. He allowed seven hits and five runs with two walks and four strikeouts.
"He's a guy who can be tough on us, too," Milwaukee manager Ned Yost said. "There've been a couple of times where he's been tough and didn't get the win."
Cincinnati 2B Brandon Phillips batted leadoff for the first time this season and LF Cody Ross made his first start for the Reds since being acquired from Los Angeles on April 24. Ross was on the disabled list from May 2-22 with a bruised left pinky finger. ... SS Felipe Lopez missed his second start of the season and LF Adam Dunn missed his first. ... Miller missed the previous two games after leaving Sunday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota in the fourth inning with back spasms. ... Cirillo is hitting .412 (14-for-34) in his eight starts.

I see. But there many scenarios where not reusing keys is impractical. And even if you never reuse keys, why not use a random nonce?
As a I said, encrypt-then-authentication is the only way mathematically proven to work with any secure encryption and authentication schemes. See the proof in, e.g., "Introduction to Modern Cryptography" by Katz & Lindell. If you use authenticate-then-encrypt, you may get an insecure scheme even if using secure cryptography & authentication schemes. (It may be secure for particular schemes, but it's much more safer to use the route that is guaranteed to work)

are you planning a fun/creative way to announce pregnancy?
No idea for you - but we're going to announce at my son's 1st birthday party. Maybe make an extra little cake announcing it, or maybe put it on his shirt that he'll get on after he does his smask cake. Or maybe if we do a slide show, there will be a picture in his slide show about it.
We've seen/done: t-shirts for big brothers, made a plate at a pottery place and brought treats on it and when they were gone, they saw the message, brought an envelope with developed pictures and some of them were pictures of our ultrasound.
We put DD in this onesie and brought her to church:
Then we went to my parents' house for lunch and she was still wearing the onesie, then we went to my MIL's house for dinner and she was still wearing the onesie.
It was really funny, because MIL didn't even notice her onesie for the first 20 minutes we were there!

last time I bought a shirt that said "I have a secret" on the front and on the back said "i'm going to be a big brother" Since we don't live near family I took a picture of DS wearing it and taped the two pictures together.
I recently saw someone announce it by posting a picture of there son wearing a shirt that said "only child expiring January 2013" Which i thought was really cute.
This time i'm thinking for doing a something like this media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/uploa...

I have been thinking about this for a few days now. I don't have any other children so I can't do the "big brother, big sis" thing but I want to have a special announcement. I have been looking at pinterest and etsy a lot.

I love making decorated cookies, so my current thought is to decorate a bunch of cookies that look like those "Baby on Board" signs that you see in the back of people's cars (yellow diamond, black lettering). I give my coworkers cookies all the time, so I was thinking I would just package those nicely and hand them out. (Does anyone think that seems narcissistic? I'm not sure why I feel that way, but it worries me a little. If you got a cookie like this from a coworker, would you think it was cute or self-absorbed?)
Another cookie idea I had was to make cookies for family members that look like nametags that say "Hello My Name Is...Future Auntie" or something like that.

VLS ranked number one for environmental lawStaff Report | March 18,2013SOUTH ROYALTON — Vermont Law School was ranked number one in environmental law in U.S. News and World Report's 2014 best graduate schools issue.
It marks the fifth year in a row that Vermont Law School has been recognized by the magazine as the best law school in the nation.
Vermont Law School has been ranked number one or number two by the magazine for environmental law since 1991 and has been ranked number one for 16 of those 23 years.
"This ranking reaffirms that VLS is a school with national impact on one of the most important issues of our time," President and Dean Marc Mihaly said. "I am extremely proud of the entire VLS community for their hard work and commitment to our environmental curriculum, clinics and institutes."
Vermont Law School is a private, independent institution that offers a juris doctor curriculum, two master's degrees (Master of Environmental Law and Policy, and Master of Energy Regulation and Law) and three post-JD degrees (LLM in American Legal Studies, LLM in Energy Law, and LLM in Environmental Law).

My MIL is going to watch the girls for us tomorrow so we can hit the outlet after Christmas sales! I also have a coupon for Carter's (my fav) and Osh-Kosh.
Here's my question....A was 7 pounds 5 ounces two weeks ago. R was 6 pounds 11 ounces. They are in NB size now...although they seem to be a little long (both arms and legs). I'm planning on buying a TON of clothes tomorrow for them...seeing as how they don't really have a lot.
Do I buy NB or go up a size? We really don't go anywhere...and probably won't until this RSV season is over with, which is April around here.
Any advice would be helpful.
Also, I can't seem to get their socks to stay on. Should I start putting shoes on them?
Thanks in advance.

that is amazing. and so colorful
Now this is cool...
Nice love this effect very cool look!
Daily Deviation worthy!
So very very neat! Love the dynamism and motion here and how it's instantly recognisable as Han even without facial features!
Is the background a texture or did you make it as well?
That's such a neat concept!
Hehe, playing around with filters I see. Nice job.
Actually, I didn't use a single filter. I didn't even use PS brushes. I added each and every one of those splatters and marks "by hand". I don't even know how to use those filters.
You did this on Paper?! Wow, that's new from you. But, if that's how you did it, why is it under the Digital Art category? That made me assume it was PhotoShopped.
*sigh* You're misunderstanding me. It is indeed digital. It's done in photoshop. But no "filters" were used or splatter "brushes".
That just makes this piece like 20 times more impressive Nice job!!
So fricking awesome!!!
This is pretty cool! Insta faved
