I got this first try - Here's how:
2 controllers the entire time. I turned ON manual fielding, so that the ball just sits where it lands until I pick it up.
Vistor team I got up to 6 runs in the 2nd inning.
In the bottom of the 5th, I stuck out the first two batters, On the third batter I got 2 strikes on him, and then had him bunt for a single. I kept buting for singles until the score was 6-5 and the bases were loaded. I then got 2 strikes on the batter, and then bunted for a home run by keep pressing the LeftTrigger to keep everyone running. since manual fielding was ON, the ball just sat there in front of the pitcher's mound. After the last guy crossed the plate (when the play ended), the achievement popped.
I should also note, I beat this entire game in my first sit down. I never exited to dashboard.
Hope this helps someone!

Sunday's victory in The Players Championship was an example of how top-ranked golfer Tiger Woods rarely beats himself.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Top-ranked Tiger Woods and legend Jack Nicklaus seldom talk about golf, but seem to think along the same lines when it comes to winning tournaments.
The Players Championship on Sunday was another example of how Woods rarely beats himself.
Last month, Nicklaus — who earned a record 18 major titles — recalled one he didn't win. It was the 1971 Masters, and he found the water trying to reach the 15th green with a 3-wood.
"I don't like to waste a tournament on one shot," Nicklaus said. "If I was today thinking about strategy of what I wanted to do on that, I probably wouldn't have done it. I put myself out of the tournament."

The island green on the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach is nothing like the 15th at Augusta National, but it was hard not to think about Nicklaus' remarks when reviewing the hole that settled a duel between Woods and Sergio Garcia.
Woods, who expected to be tied for the lead with Garcia, was standing on the 17th tee. The pin was in its usual Sunday location, the back-right corner. Finding land is always the priority.
"I thought that the prudent play for me was hit it in the center of the green, even left-center, and try and hit kind of a pull-cut," Woods recalled. "If I hit a pull-cut, it's going to have a little bit of distance to it and it might have the shape where it might land up on top and feed down."
Woods' ball stayed on the front of the green, but he managed to two-putt from 45 feet for a par.
Garcia, playing in the group after Woods, went at the flag and hit the ball into the water. His next shot also found water and he left with a quadruple-bogey 7.
Woods won by two shots and Garcia tied for eighth.
Back to Nicklaus on the topic of high-risk shots:
"If you've got a 50-50 chance of doing it, I wouldn't be doing it," he said. "If you've got a 90-10 chance, think real hard about it, and try to make sure you eliminate the 10."

Since blogging for InsideLotus, I've posted a couple of entries regarding spam and different levels of spam. It wasn't until a recent seminar with some anti-spam vendors and IBMers, that I really grasped the impact spam is having in today's e-commerce. Before I continue, I should first give my definition of spam.
"Any unwanted commercial email usually sent in bulk where the sender can gain a profit."
One aspect of spam that I can't seem to draw a conclusion from is how does one define internal email. Obviously, I use Lotus Notes and IBM Workplace as my mail client and receive both internal and external SMTP mail. Now I don't consider any news letters or broadcasts from internal employees spam, but some users do consider this spam. On the other hand, I also have some email accounts with ISP's. The question is, where do you draw the line with internal email in that case? I would like to get the feedback of all the readers of this blog, concerning your thoughts on whether internal email can be considered spam.
Fighting spam is now a million dollar business. To put things into perspective, more then half of all email sent is spam related. Most anti-spam activists agree that the goal is to protect the end user from fraud as well as the time it takes to weed through spam email. Surveys show that some users spend up to 30 minutes a day sorting through email. One method of fighting spam is to allow the end user to decide what they consider spam. Personally, I like the idea of being able to vote on email that I consider spam. Then I leave it up to the server to sort my mail for me and deposit my spam voted mail into a junk folder for me. Some ISP's have incorporated this method and I am glad to see that IBM Workplace has also developed a similar method known as SpamGuru.
So if your serious about fighting spam, I suggest that you try IBM Workplace Messaging junk filtering.

Climate change is of critical concern to China: it is the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, and many of its people are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, from glacial melting to droughts and flooding.
Greenpeace is campaigning for climate solutions that will help us prosper without damaging the planet. By switching to renewable energy and protecting our forests, we can protect our world for future generations.
Climate change is real, and it's happening because of human activities – namely burning oil, and coal. We're seeing the effects all around us – extreme weather events, droughts, warmer temperatures, polar ice melting and sea level rising. But we can work to change this.
Solutions to climate change and energy crises already exist: clean, renewable energy, energy efficiency and an end to deforestation. With strong commitment to change from governments, business and individuals alike, we can stop climate chaos.
China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and any successful efforts to stop global climate change needs this country to play its part. Greenpeace is the leading non-governmental organisation working in East Asia to fight climate change:
Site of the explosion and fire at Xingang Port Dalian, a major site for China's state reserves of petroleum
Local fishermen are cleaning up the oil, which has spread far from the original explosion site in Xingang Port, Dalian. The fishermen say that no one told them that they need safety equipment or any form of protection.
Oil spill clean up continues in the Dalian region.

A belt connects to the drum on one end and the pulleys on the other end. A broken belt prevents the drum from rotating and may result in a banging sound inside the dryer when it is running. Replace the faulty belt with a new one to repair the Maytag Atlantis dryer to working order.
Things You'll Need
- Phillips screwdriver
Disconnect the power cord before opening the dryer cabinet. Remove the two screws on the bottom of the front panel.
Lift the front panel up and out from the bottom of the Maytag Atlantis dryer. Disconnect the electrical wire connector from the door switch assembly. Set the front panel aside.
Remove the screws holding the plastic shroud in place in front of the belt and pulleys. Set the shroud aside.
Move the idler pulley arm toward the front of the dryer to loosen the belt. Slide the old belt off of the drum and pulleys. Be sure to remove every piece if the belt is broken.
Wrap the new belt around the drum. Position the rest of the belt around the pulleys. Move the idler pulley arm back to its former location.
Replace the plastic shroud in front of the pulleys. Install the screws that hold the shroud in place.
Reposition the front panel. Plug the wire connector into the door switch socket. Install the two screws along the bottom of the front panel.

text: A LARGE map of London would be needed to display the wild and zigzag course of one day's journey undertaken by an uncle and his nephew; or, to speak more truly, of a nephew and his uncle. For the nephew, a schoolboy on a holiday, was in theory the god in the car, or in the cab, tram, tube, and so on, while his uncle was at most a priest dancing before him and offering sacrifices. To put it more soberly, the schoolboy had something of the stolid air of a young duke doing the grand tour, while his elderly relative was reduced to the position of a courier, who nevertheless had to pay for everything like a patron. The schoolboy was officially known as Summers Minor, and in a more social manner as Stinks, the only public tribute to his career as an amateur photographer and electrician. The uncle was the Rev. Thomas Twyford, a lean and lively old gentleman with a red, eager face and white hair. He was in the ordinary way a country clergyman, but he was one of those who achieve the paradox of being famous in an obscure way, because they are famous in

YAKIMA — A woman was killed in a house fire overnight at Yakima.
The East Valley Fire Department says the fire started about 1 a.m. Thursday while a husband and wife were at home.
The chief tells KNDO the man escaped and thought his wife was outside, too. When he realized she was still inside he ran back to a window. But she collapsed and didn't make it out.
Arriving firefighters found flames shooting 30 feet high. It took about an hour to put out the fire.

Gary Allan on new songs, vocal surgery
When I talked to Gary Allan earlier this week, we covered more ground than was able to fit in the full feature that appears here on Tap Milwaukee. Here is more of the conversation we shared as he waited to make a Monday night appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." (Click here to watch his spot on the show.)
As Allan prepares to visit The Rave tonight, he discussed why he thought "Tough Goodbye," the lead song (co-written by Cedarburg native Josh Thompson) from his Billboard chart-topping new album, "Set You Free," would be the first single. He also talked about how a vocal cord operation that he underwent just before recording the album has made him feel like a whole new singer, and his approach to Nashville after spending his early years (starting at 12 years old) playing honky tonks and clubs in California's Bakersfield-inspired country music scene. »Read Full Blog Post
Uneven Mumford & Sons show comes together at the finish
Before they became folk-revival rock stars, before they brought the banjo — the banjo! — to the top of the charts, Mumford & Sons became musical masters of pacing, tension and catharsis.
But it's one thing to accomplish this on sweeping singalong strummers like "The Cave" and "I Will Wait," or even across an entire album, like last year's blockbuster, album-of-the-year Grammy-winner "Babel." But sustaining spine-tingling anticipation and keeping the musical climaxes interesting, across an hour-and-forty-five-minute show is an entirely different, difficult challenge — one the band largely lived up in front of about 23,000 at a sold-out Marcus Amphitheater Tuesday night. »Read Full Article(38)

Bluegrass giant Ralph Stanley to appear at Pabst Theater Nov. 2
Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley brings his farewell tour to the Pabst Theater's lower level 8 p.m. Nov. 2.
At 86, Stanley has been defining the sound of bluegrass for more than 60 years with the Clinch Mountain Boys. It's not like he's been resting on his considerable laurels: Stanley won his three Grammys in the past 11 years, and was one of the defining voices of the soundtrack for the Coen brothers' 2000 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" He published his autobiography, "Man of Constant Sorrow: Life and Times of a Music Legend," in 2009. »Read Full Article

Siet welcomed me warmly. We had a wonderful weekend at her house boat. It was very clean. Siet even put food for our breakfast in the fridge. That was very kind of her. I would love to come back some day.
We enjoyed staying on Siet's beautiful boat. The location is 3 minutes walk to a tram stop and 15 minutes walk to the Centre of Amsterdam. Siet is very friendly and accommodating and the boat has everything you need. A good choice when staying in Amsterdam.
I don't even know where to begin! what an absolutely fabulous holiday we had in Amsterdam! With a little trip out to Cologne thrown in for good measure! The Boat was stunning and in such an excellent location, we have never stayed so close to the centre of Amsterdam!! Our hostess.... Siet, what an amazing lady, she made us feel so welcome, our flight was delayed and we actually arrived late, but Siet greeted us with a warm smile and open arms. Throughout the entire stay she couldn't have been more hospitable, and it was our pleasure that she joined us in some late, and some very very late night drinking sessions!! I'm positive that we will be returning to stay with Siet ASAP, i'm also hopeful that we will be able to take a spin out on her motor boat next time :) an all round fantastic lady, boat and location!! would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone wishing to visit Amsterdam 100% and 10/10 X
Very nice and authentic typical Dutch living boat, the boat is lying central and closed to the inner city of Amsterdam as well as not really far away from the main railway station Amsterdam. The boat rooms are clean and friendly styled. Many thanks also to Siet for their friendly hospitality. She is every day in good mood and gives you many helpful advice what you can discover in Amsterdam.
Martin, Germany
Siet hilft wo sie kann mit Tipps und einer unkomplizierten Art.
Das Hausboot ist gut ausgestattet - 15 Minuten auf ruhigem Weg zum Zentrum.
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt!
(Das Parkhaus kostet inzwischen 10€/Tag, immer noch sehr günstig).
Grüße Conny und Wille
Siets warm welcome with cool beer, practical advices for nice places to be and handlings of her perfect bikes on her beautiful red Houseboat was the beginning of a perfect week end. A Tasteful environment, an open athmosphere and a very easy going and warm host made the stay very pleasant. An open fire in the oven welcomed us at night, was else could you ask for? Thanks so much for a perfect stay so close to the center of amsterdam.
Kalte Ostern und ein warmes, gemütliches Stübchen im Hausboot. Die Katze sichert sich schnell den Platz auf dem Sofa. Siet ist eine aufmerksame Gastgeberin und zieht sich zurück, wenn wir mal allein auf dem Boot sein möchten. Tolle Lage nahe dem Zentrum! Den Zug gleich nebenan ist gut zu überhören, wenn man sich vom Schaukeln des Bootes in den Schlaf wiegen lässt. Einfach aber fein!
unsere Tage bei siet waren einfach wunderbar. sie ist eine tolle gastgeberin mit netten Tipps und die Unterkunft wollten wir gar nicht mehr verlassen. immer wieder gerne.
Nous avons passé un délicieux séjour.
Nous avons été très gentiment accueilli par notre hôte Siet et son joli matou.
Nous la remercions pour sa bonne humeur et toutes ses bonnes adresses en ville.
La péniche est ravissante et idéalement située,à deux pas du tram.
Durant notre séjour, Siet redonnait une seconde vie à une petite barque.
Nous lui avons promis de venir l'essayer.
A bientôt Siet
Nur so erlebt man Amsterdam wirklich authentisch und lebt den Charme und die Offenheit dieser Traumstadt ein wenig mit. Das Hausboot hat Kuschelatmosphäre und Katze Bubi ist eine echte Schmusekatze. Es war super gemütlich,zentrumsnah und ideal für unseren Aufenthalt. Siet gibt hervorragende Tipps, man muss nur nachfragen und rennt dann nicht wie alle zu den üblichen überlaufenen Touri-Treffs sondern erlebt Amsterdam von seinen faszinierendsten Seiten. Das Hausboot ar für uns ein echter Glücksfall, ein Volltreffer.

MCB Financial Aid
It is the policy of the Molecular and Computational Biology Program to provide support for all students throughout their graduate career. Each admitted student is guaranteed a minimum of five years of support. Students receive a stipend, up to 12 units of tuition remission each academic semester, and health and dental insurance awards.
Financial awards are College Merit Fellowships, Provost Fellowships, Dornsife Doctoral Fellowships, Research Assistantships (RA), and Teaching Assistantships (TA). There is no separate application. Students are also encouraged to apply for financial aid from appropriate federal agencies or other sources of aid for graduate study. U.S. citizens requesting additional need-based financial aid should complete that portion of the application.
Teaching and research assistantships provide full tuition remission, payment of student health center fee and student health insurance, and a monthly stipend for living expenses for the academic year. TAs split their time between specific teaching duties as determined by the department and their laboratory work. The amount of time devoted to teaching duties is no more than 20 hours per week. RAs devote most of their time in research leading to their dissertations.
Continuing support from available RAships and TAships beyond the first year is contingent on the student maintaining the academic standards required by the program (not least of which is a 3.0 GPA).
Students generally obtain RAships support during the three summer months. TAships are limited during this period. Students should make arrangements with a faculty advisor during their first year to provide for this. This arrangement is usually not a problem.
The university offers several awards open to all departments. The department nominates exceptional candidates for the College Merit Fellowships and Provost's Fellowships, the university's most prestigious award. These awards carry additional stipends and, in some cases, funding of research-oriented travel and supplies.

The ACLU has taken on a patent case for the first time in its nearly 90-year history. The government's been allowing private companies to patent human genes. The ACLU thinks that violates the First Amendment and patent law. This is heady, complicated stuff. But when a patent creates a monopoly that restricts the free flow of information, a lot is at stake, and when we're talking about something like genes associated with breast and ovarian cancer, real women are hurt. This video about the case features some of those women's stories.
Please note that by playing this clip You Tube and Google will place a long-term cookie on your computer. Please see You Tube's privacy statement on their website and Google's privacy statement on theirs to learn more. To view the ACLU's privacy statement, click here.
"How can it be that a company controls genes? How is that possible?" Barbara Brenner asks in the video. She's the director of Breast Cancer Action and one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
We hope this short video will inform and inspire. It provides a simple explanation and overview of the issues in our case against the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, which granted Myriad Genetics patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, the genes associated with breast and ovarian cancer. The video also features the women directly affected by the patents. They represent any number of mothers and daughters you may know facing the same obstacles as three of the plaintiffs in our case, Genae Girard, Lisbeth Cerianai, and Runi Limary.
The results from Myriad's genetic test are a strong factor in women's decision to have children. Breast cancer survivor Genae Girard, 39, took Myriad's genetic test to determine if she's at risk for ovarian cancer. Her test results showed that she's at a high risk for the cancer, and should have her ovaries removed. Because only Myriad holds the patents on the genes associated with breast and ovarian cancer, no one else can offer this genetic test without its permission. Therefore Girard can't get a second test, or a second opinion, on whether to have her ovaries removed.
Lisbeth Ceriani, a single mom, simply can't afford the more than $3,000 test. Getting the test paid for by insurance can be difficult.
"I'd like to see my 8-year-old daughter go to college," Ceriani says. "But if I have the mutation, there's a huge chance I'll end up with ovarian cancer in the immediate future. I need to have that test so I can get my ovaries out if I need to before anything happens. I don't like those odds." Myriad's monopoly on the genes, and therefore the genetic test, prevents other companies from offering this potentially life-saving test at a lesser cost to patients.
Dr. Wendy Chung, Director of Clinical Genetics at Columbia University and another plaintiff in the case, says she too often sees women like Girard and Runi Limary who can't seek second opinions and are given little data to understand what their tests results mean because of the patents.
Limary had breast cancer at 28 and took Myriad's test to find out if it was likely to return and if ovarian cancer is a concern. The result was puzzling: Limary was told she had a genetic variant of "uncertain significance." It turns out other Asian-American women like Limary had also received these results. But because patent-holder Myriad has not determined the variant's significance, and other companies are excluded from offering the test, these women are left to guess whether their variants warrant removal of their ovaries along with their ability to have children.
Tania Simoncelli, ACLU science advisor, says a lot is at stake if companies like Myriad are allowed to own genes and have a monopoly on everything associated with those genes.
"They own not only the gene, they own any future tests, any future drug, any future therapy, so we're putting our trust in one single company," says Simoncelli. "There are places where the patent system has gone too far. Too much patent protection can in fact trample our civil liberties."
Please share this video far and wide and let others know why it is important that we stop the government from allowing companies like Myriad to own our genes.

This is an outrage! How can an individual like me help to stop this?

Steven M. Rosen...
I am writing to you as an individual, although I am employed in the diagnostics industry. I am very troubled by what what the ACLU is doing. In my opinion is it tantamount to advocating the stealing of intellectual property from companies who have made significant investments in delivering healthcare innovation to the public. There is a huge investment that is required to bring a healthcare diagnostic product to market. Companies will not make the investment to discover, development, clinically validate and make commercially available technology which they do not see making a profit. If the ACLU is sucessful in its efforts, companies will start to question whether the payback will be there for healthcare products. Potential cures for disease and new diagnostic tests will never become commercially available. Additionally, I believe the ACLU is wrong in stating that companies are not able to innovate and work with the technology if it is patented. There is clearly a a research exclusion for patents that permits innovation.

Dr Rosen is a self serving member of the industry that we condone. We as researchers are supposed to help, not hinder, people with disease. This issue crosses the boundaries of patent protection. Nail the bastards.
I have been a medical researcher for 25 years and am sick of the patent abuse in this country.

I suppose it should behoove me that our government would actually allow a company to purchase a patent on a gene. I suppose I should be surprised that a U.S. company would actually want to "corner the market" on an R&D health issue.
But I'm not surprised because I've learned that our government and the majority of U.S. companies would do absolutely anything - anything - to turn a profit, regardless of consequence.

Oh, yes ... Doctor Rosen - perhaps healthcare, including research & development, represent fundamental areas within the human experience that should NOT be subsets of the capitalist enterprise.
Perhaps it's political heresy, but ... healthcare should be non-profit.

Jim Fyfe, Ph.D.
As a researcher in the drug industry, I was very troubled when companies/individuals began to be allowed to patent genes. It was unprecedented, illogical and unwise to let people to patent something that nature had produced. It would have been analogous to someone discovering and thus patenting an enzyme in the body. No one did that! We used the information that scientists learned about nature's enzymes to synthesize compounds that affected the enzymes, and come up with medicines. But yet here we were allowing patenting of nature's genes. Outrageous!

- May 18, 2009
Jody Ranney
My first response is how could this happen? Genetic patenting! It probably happened because no healthy, sane person would conceive of it, therefore the issue was not covered in the patent codes. Now that the insanity is public information, then we need to salute and support the ACLU's efforts to protect the countless women whose lives are affected by the techno-corporate greed of Myriad (by any name). Public abuse under the control of private business is not new. Genetic patents mandating access to health information based on ability to pay is evil. Shame on Myriad or anyone who invests and promotes their vileness.

I've met 3 baby girls under the age of one this week - one was Eileen (eye-leen rather than ay-leen), which I've always thought was so lovely and underused - I always get excited when I hear dated names on babies.
The other was Angel, which as much as I dislike, was pretty cute on her. Her mum nicknamed her 'Elle' which made it more tolerable.
And the other was Minnie, who was little sister to twins Billy and Frankie.wildly adored for future darlings;

At my ballet rehearsal today, there was a little girl called Paris! It was so funny, she kept doing the wrong steps or going the wrong way and her teacher would yell out her name. She wore it so well, she was loud and silly and funny and adorable. Another interesting one was a little girl named Brady. I am in New England, so I think it's a bit too far to name your child after Tom Brady, whom I'm assuming is the inspiration.

7 pitfalls of digital transformation28 September 2015 · By Dietmar Schantin
You've agreed on the need for newsroom transformation. Money has been earmarked, fears calmed, hopes raised and the voyage to the promised land has started.
But for some reason the whole brave endeavour seems to be stalled or in danger of running onto the rocks. Why? It all looked so good on (e)paper.
Chances are your efforts are being sabotaged from the inside by a number of all-too-familiar culprits acting alone or together to trip up your transformation.
The good news is that in 10 years of working with media companies on digitalisation and newsroom transformation, we have been able to identify those responsible and can present you a detailed rogues gallery.
The bad news is that they aren't individuals, technologies, or cultures. They are tendencies and temptations, and they can be hiding anywhere. Look closely, because you may find some of those tendencies are lurking deep in yourself.
Every news organisation is unique. Every one has its own special quirks, needs, and challenges, depending on where they are, who they are, and the make up of their audiences. But when it comes to restructuring the newsroom, there are certain universal ......[more]
Creator of "Newspaper Extinction Timeline" lays out industry's optimistic future22 June 2015 · By Dawn McMullan
Ross Dawson is famous for predicting, year by year, the end of the newspaper. But that's not exactly what he meant.
Dawson, founding chairman of Future Exploration Network, created the "Newspaper Extinction Timeline" almost five years ago, which he calls "significantly misunderstood."
"This is one of the only predictions that I've made," Dawson said at the INMA World Congress in New York City last month. "As a futurist, I believe predictions are often not worthwile because nobody knows the future. The future is unpredictable. Yet the reason why I did make these predictions was to provoke, to be able to wake people."
If he provoked people to consider why they disagreed with the timeline, then ......[more]
6 pillars of a revenue-generating business model for digital journalism23 February 2015 · By Caio Túlio Costa
The newspaper industry's financial health is almost hopeless. Traditional media has survived with water through its nose because it has failed to prioritise investments in digital media.
But there is salvation. Traditional media needs to create new sources of revenue to make up for what they lose in the digital life with advertising and circulation revenues.
I conducted research at Columbia University that remains very current. Called "The Business Model for Digital Journalism," the report is subtitled with a hopeful phrase: "How newspapers should embrace technology, social, and value-added services."
In this year of 2015, Johannes Gutenberg's printing press – one of modernity's most important achievements – turns 576. Over the span of almost six centuries, a business model has developed and been improved upon to make journalism a powerful, respectable, and profitable industry.
Without a doubt, one of the best examples of this strength is The New York Times, internationally acclaimed for the quality of its journalism.
In 2000, the last year of the 20th century, the newspaper's parent company earned revenues of US$3.5 billion with operating profit of US$636 million. Net income was US$397 million or 11% of revenue for a very solid margin as compared to other industries, where the average margins of Fortune's largest 30 publicly traded companies were 8.5%.
These figures derive from the acquired capacity to compose revenue from advertising and newspaper sales that covered the cost of a reporting team of more than 1,000 editors and reporters around the world.
Fourteen years later, in 2014, the same company saw revenue fall to US$1.5 billion with operating profit of US$92 million with net income of ......[more]
Why the news media industry is ripe for start-up level optimism, growth01 December 2014 · By Wolfgang Bretschko
One of my favourite video clips on YouTube is a short piece of a presentation given by Al Gore, the former vice president of the United States.
He shows what happens if a frog jumps into a pot of boiling water: he jumps out immediately. But if you put the very same frog into pot of lukewarm water and you bring it to boil slowly, the frog stays in the water until ...
We are very often in situations where we do not recognise dramatic changes around us because the development itself unfolds very slowly but steadily. And when we realise the impact of the development, it's very often too late to change the course.
If one compares the situation of the newspaper industry with the frog in the pot, one will find many similarities. For many years, we have seen the slow but steady decline of our readership. We realise the water around us is getting warmer and warmer, but nobody is ......[more]
SPH Magazines revamps its business model with print, digital advertising innovations13 October 2014 · By Gloria Arlini
The print industry is battling a headwind of digital disruption. And like any industry amid turbulence, magazine publishers need to dig deep for the courage to transform — not just to ensure survival, but more importantly, to advance resilience.
This was the essence of the speech by our SPH editor-in-chief of English and Malay newspapers, Patrick Daniel, when he spoke about transforming the media business in the digital age last year. The words were not verbatim — this author admits to be seduced by Christensen's idea of disruptive innovation — but the call for transformation was unmistakable in its urgency.
The publishing business needs to accurately identify its core strengths and relative advantages, to quickly formulate responses in this volatile media climate.
This is the story about one such journey of transformation. This is a narration of learning processes we undergo in SPH Magazines as we revolutionise our businesses by disrupting the traditional magazines business cycle and opening new opportunities in the process.
The death watch: How do we get to this point?
Contrary to how it may sound, there's nothing cool about this. In fact, our journey began from an unenviable starting point: a death sentence. Such as this one. Or this one. And since third time's the charm, this one.
You know you have hit the rock bottom when you have Newspaper Death Watch and a Museum of Dead Magazines erected in the industry's honour.
Clearly the old publishing model no longer works. Magazines cannot survive ......[more]
Fairfax Media takes transformation to its employee workspace22 September 2014 · By Gina Creegan
The story is familiar. Fairfax Media knew that retaining and attracting the best available staff, creating a culture of collaboration and innovation, and increasing online focus were the keys to success. The answer to how to do that in the face of significant change in the media industry was not so obvious.
In pursuit of answers, Fairfax realised that a key enabler to reaching its business objectives would be a new workplace strategy covering property, technology, and staff.
In August 2012, in a move that signalled a key change in its workplace strategy, the People and Culture sub-committee of the Fairfax Board approved what it called the "Real Time Working Project" (RTW).
The project focussed on our 2,400 staff in Melbourne and Sydney. It embraced upgraded and flexible building fit-outs, a technology upgrade that created an anytime, anywhere set-up to enable ......[more]
When it comes to the future, is your media company a pioneer, revolutionary, evolutionary, or in denial?25 August 2014 · By Jim Chisholm
"There are no case studies about the future."
I don't know how often I have said this in reply to the question: "Jim, can you present a few case studies on what my company should be doing?"
It is many years since I lost the inclination to deliver an answer to the wrong question. So when Australia's Newspaper Works asked me to write "a piece on what some publishers are doing to increase revenue or create new revenue streams," much as I love them to bits, I simply ignored them.
What I've learned over 20 years advising publishers on growth strategies, including creating and directing the World Association of Newspapers' "Shaping the Future of the Newspaper" project, is that if peer emulation is your only raison-d'etre, you will die.
If you really want to not only survive in an industry with a half-life, in mature markets, of around five years — but also create value for the future — you have to innovate from the heart, not the blog.
To be fair, our industry began to pass its point of inflection — where digital growth exceeds print decline — around the turn of the year, with the rates of decline slowing as finally, after 20 years living with digital, it finally ......[more]
Postmedia shares 4 reality checks discovered during its marketing strategy transformation04 August 2014 · By Siobhan Vinish
News media marketers have managed well, or at least well enough, for decades with limited budgets and limited objectives.
For a very long time, the main objective was "own the community" with few resources to achieve it or methodology to measure it.
With a limited budget, marketers have often found creative ways to execute creative campaigns — mostly using enthusiastic young people eager to schlep boxes, set up booths, and attend various business and community events waving the company flag.
Marketing took some creativity, a little bit of money, physical work, and a few great pairs of comfortable shoes.
And yes, we owned the community.
Our media companies were connected: We knew every ......[more]
Gannett shares 5 lessons learned by asking advertisers what they want30 June 2014 · By Michelle Krans
When you think about being customer-centric, it doesn't sound revolutionary. In an age of tight resources, being customer focused is crucial for success. But what does being customer-centric mean to our clients?
We decided to ask them.
We initiated customer research with more than 1,000 decision makers across 11 markets to understand their pain points and expectations. We had them tell us, in their own words, what they needed and wanted from a media partner.
In essence, SMBs told us they wanted:
- Help managing the complexity of their media and marketing investments.
- Partners who truly understand their business.
- Proof that their investments are paying off.

Can storytelling be the industry's savior?02 June 2014 · By Dawn McMullan
Editor's note: Raju Narisetti was named senior vice president/deputy head of strategy at News Corp in February of 2013. Prior to this move, he was deputy managing editor of The Wall Street Journal and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Digital Network, managing editor of Washington Post Co., and founding editor of Mint, the second-largest business newspaper in India.
Here's why he believes in print, feels newspaper brands have a more long-term view than, say, the Huffington Post, wonders why we didn't create the Facebook Paper app, and thinks the industry needs to be embrace the genius of a good story.
INMA: You say "brands have moved from marketers to publishers." What does this mean and how does this bring opportunity to the media industry?
Narisetti: Lot of brands want to engage their customers, audiences, or consumers using stories. Brands really don't want to get into the news business, but they want to get into the storytelling business around themes, topics, and occasionally around specific brand that matters to them.
GE, for example, cares about innovation, wants to be in the conversation about innovation, and wants to engage audiences with great relevant content — often in the form of storytelling.
As more and more brands realise they can target and reach their potential customers or audiences — and realise that they don't have enough content beyond just advertising — they will figure out ways to create it themselves or partner with others who can. Many of these brands used to rely on advertising to do that and now, in some cases, they are shifting ad dollars into...[more]

I love the overall look and design. The B & B is designed to look like an old building but it has all the modern conveniences.
There are two cats living there so if you are allergic, you might want to stay away - but the rooms were immaculate. You wouldn't have trouble sleeping. I only saw them a few times. They kept to themselves. The owner was lovely. I would love to stay there again. Unfortunately, my plans changed after I booked so we were unable to stay for breakfast.
