LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – "The Real Housewives The Game" will use Facebook.com to broaden Bravo's reach. In The Real Housewives The Game, RHONY's Ramona Singer and Countess Luann will become larger than life, if they aren't already. Ramona's eyes and Luann's singing could be featured in the video game, slated to be launched by the network in conjunction with RHONY's new season.
The Real Housewives The Game won't be Bravo's first time to move its reality TV stars into a gaming environment. Bravo has already dabbled with the concept through "Turtle Time" launched last September.
Countess LuAnn fumed last season "Alex, go back to the closet you came out of!" Now Bravo will allow fans to go into LuAnn's closets in different virtual environments. No word if Pinot Grigio is included.
The platform will allow fans to "create a unique identity, interact with their favorite Housewives and construct individual storylines, inspired by the Bravo series" says the network in a news statement today. You won't be able to pass out any Skinnygirl drinks, but you will be able to your "own virtual environment – from city condo to Hampton's beach house – and climb the social ladder by participating in challenges only a Housewife knows how to handle."
While fans for years have wondered how they too can become real housewives, now they can, virtually. "Virtual Housewives can vicariously place themselves in the action of the show by living out scenes that occur on the linear series each week."
Bravo will give online fans recognition during series TV broadcasts. "Furthermore, gamers have the opportunity to bring their real-life friends into their virtual social circle. Players that excel in a variety of categories such as "Best Apartment," "Hottest Wardrobe" and "Highest Social Standing" will be awarded with on-air recognition during the live series."
Lisa Hsia, Executive Vice President of Bravo Digital Media, said in a news statement today that "This new game is a great opportunity for Bravo to take our passionate viewers into the content. By bringing 'The Real Housewives' into a social setting, fans can now experience the franchise through television, social media and in their own virtual reality." The game will launch currently with the fifth season of The Real Housewives of New York City.

What kind of town is Astoria?
When people ask me what it's like to live in Astoria, they usually want to know what the people are like. Living in a small town, rather remote from anything very urban or cosmopolitan, Astoria may seem like a very unlikely place to find as much diversity and creativity as it has. When I first moved here over 4 years ago, I only knew my cousin, and knew nothing much at all about Astoria other than what I knew through her eyes.
For a while, I commuted between Portland and Astoria each week, and it took me a while to get to know what Astoria was all about. On the weekends I would make my way over to Coffee Girl on Pier 39. Not only a beautiful spot to while away some time and do some writing and photography, but also a great place to meet interesting people. Some of my closest Astoria friends came out of the times I have spent in this and other coffee shops. I recall walking by a man who had set up his plein air easel outside the coffee shop. Each day, I'd pass him, watching his painting come to life. That painter, Robert Paulmenn has become one of my favorite people here in Astoria. We struck up a friendship, and as good friendships will do, that led to meeting other people as well. By the way, the painting on Robert's website is the one he was working on that rainy, cold winter/spring.
That same type of experience has happened repeatedly here in Astoria. Through friends I made at Coffee Girl, I met other people, who introduced me to other people. Within a very short period of time, I have been drawn into more circles than I ever imagined. I began writing this column, Faces and Places in order to get my introverted self out from behind my writing desk and camera long enough to meet people and get to know what was happening in my new community. When I wandered into Coffee Girl one Sunday morning a few years ago, I found myself walking into a group of musicians all playing tenor guitars, banjos, drums, violins, and harmonicas, and I met Mark Josephs for the first time. After sitting and singing with the group all morning, Mark began telling me about the Tenor Guitar Gathering that he had started the year before. Since that time, I have made a point to feature Mark and the Tenor Guitar Gathering in feature articles, and he and his wife Karen have become friends as well.
Friends from Coffee Girl, including Tammy von Payens/Heinz, Debbi Blisset, and Alexa Butler, have opened doors for me, been my friend through thick and thin, and have each pointed me toward a deeper understanding of what life is like in Astoria. Debbi and Tammy started the annual Baristas Art show (usually held in late summer), to feature the Coffee Girls barista's artwork, and each year they invite other local artists to exhibit and participate. My photography hangs in Coffee Girl, and I have Debbi to thank for that. She also supplies me me Cafe au Lait (Alexa does that) and the best Bagels and Lox around. Tammy has become a good friend, and introduced me to one good person after another. An artist herself, Tammy and I collaborated on a book I published, providing the illustrations for the entire book.
Friendships and collaborations grow, change, and help form our experiences here in Astoria, and before you know it, you know people who know people who know or have heard about you. If you are new to town, you've probably figured out there are a whole lot of people who have been here for 4-5 generations, and they know and are married to or have been married to or related to someone you know. That's a small town for you, and it can be a bit overwhelming to those of us who have lived relatively anonymous lives in big cities. However, there are some very special gifts in living in a town where you get to know people quickly, and where there is so much going on.
Two years ago, my friend, Tammy dragged me to a new place to do yoga, the RiversZen Yoga Studio just off the River Walk by Big Red. That opened another door into meeting all kinds of new people, of getting back into a regular yoga and meditation practice, and of leading a weekly meditation group and occasionally doing some workshops. The RiverZen Yoga Studio is one of a number of yoga studios in town, and it has become a great place for me to connect with all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds. Artists, writers, musicians, singers, dancers (got to take a ballet class from classical ballerina Rene), as well as shop owners, business men and women, college students, world travelers and wanderers, tourists, and other professionals people-all seeking and usually finding, a good place to unwind and stretch body, mind, and spirit. I even ran into and got reacquainted with a student I had taught decades ago in Pasadena, California. She is now my neighbor and friend. RiversZen has become more than a place to do yoga. They have featured the live performances of a number of local musicians, including Dolores Villareal's Acustica World Music quartet.
Life in the small town of Astoria, has been an amazing adventure and experience. What I came here for was a place to create a home base where I could do my writing and art/photography. Living in the middle of one of the most beautiful locations on the Coast, the natural flow of life and beauty that surrounds me might be enough all by itself. However, something more important has happened for me, and hopefully it has or will happen for you, I have become part of the community. When I can, I participate in local art shows, and support local causes, artists, musicians, businesses, and anyone else I can. My column, Faces and Places of Astoria regularly features local events as well as the people who create and make those events happen. What started out as a way to get to know the community, has become something that has made me more a part of that very community. I meet people in the market or on the bus, and conversations are struck up, connections are created, and people become more than strangers.
This week, I had a very special experience, and since I do not know how to contact the person who was responsible for this experience, I decided to write about whoever it was who found my phone on the bus and turned it into Safeway. Regularly, I ride the bus to and from wherever I'm heading, and on Monday, I took the bus as far as the market to walk over to teach my Monday night meditation class. First stopping at the market to pick up a couple of items, I then walked to the studio to prepare for the meditation group. I sat down in the office,and began searching for my phone to check the time. It was then I realized, some where between the bus stop by my house, and the studio, my phone had gone missing. It could only have been lost in one of two places-the bus or the market, so back I walked, retracing my steps, hoping I'd find it. I walked into Safeway, and asked if anyone had turned in the phone, and sure enough, my little flip phone was at Customer Service.
The young man who handed the phone back to me said, "The owner has already been called, and the person who found it on the bus said they'd be here to pick it up." I replied, "I'm the owner, and I haven't had the phone. I'm not sure I know what you mean, but thank you." Next I checked my phone to find several messages from local friends, all of whom were letting me know where to find my phone. Before I'd even realized it was gone, the very kind person who found the phone, had called the last people I'd texted or called, and let them know where I could find my phone. Everyone knew where my phone was thanks to this person. The only clue I had as to who it was was the message he/she sent me, "Pay it forward Cat!" It makes me so happy when these kinds of experiences happen, and they do happen. When I rode the bus yesterday, I told the bus driver, and he said, "That wouldn't happen in Portland." Well, yes it might, and it has happened to me in Portland and other unlikely places. Good people who live and act out of kindness live everywhere. We have so many of those people who happen to live here in Astoria. The friends that help you get your cats neutered and cared for. The friends who share their food and love with you when you're short on both. The friends and family who are there for you when you need a couch moved up or down the stairs, or when you gather friends together to celebrate poetry, the arts, or some other passion. Astoria is the kind of town where good people who do good for others live, work, play, own businesses, perform, write, do yoga, help others heal, and live life with intention and loving kindness. All that, and it's beautiful. What more could we want?
Again, thank you oh wonderful person who performed such an act of kindness, and I will pay it forward. I am most grateful.

Monday night George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic tore the roof off of the 9:30 Club in Washington DC. The biggest band, with the largest sound drove in from New Jersey, where they hunkered down during the big northeast snow storm. They had just endured postponements of two shows due to the storm, and were itching to take it to the stage. The Examiner was backstage with the band before the show. As usual the scene was laid back and very cool. Marshall and Garrett Shider, Michael "Clip" Payne, Lige Curry, Steve Boyd, and Dan Bedrosian, participated in video interviews with the Examiner, that will be shown on Freedom Village in the near future. George Clinton stopped in briefly to visit with the band members and the Examiner, but declined an interview. Bass players Cordell "Boogie" Mosson and Jeff "Cherokee" Bunn,and drummer Benzel Baltimore popped in to chill during the interviews, as did a lot of friends and family.
"They played everything," exclaimed Rick Napper of 'Rick Dash Presents'.
All of the songs that you want to hear at a P-Funk show. The show seemed like it was about to end a couple of times, but someone would start another hit song. From about 8:45 pm to 12:15 am the funk was rolling. The band was super hot. Boogie played guitar. Lige and Cherokee took turns on bass. Steve Boyd sounded great on vocals. Garrett Shider was incredible while leading "One Nation Under A Groove". George Clinton was suave in his zoot suit. The first family of funk simply killed it. Catch them on tour now!

Creating Your Frist Java Application w/ Cassandra
Looking to kick off 2013 with a fun project to get familiar with Cassandra? Why don't you build a globally scalable naughty and nice list? At least, that's what we did in the webinar a few weeks ago.
If you would like to relive the webinar, Datastax posted the slides and video.
We went through two quick examples using Astyanax and CQL3 to manage Santa's naughty list. As much as it was a demo of the APIs, it also shows how you can use cqlsh and cassandra-cli to get two perspectives on the data: a logical view via cqlsh and a physical view via cli. Its important to keep both perspectives in mind if you want to build a scalable app.
You can find the code here:
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I flubbed up on anything.
BTW, Jonathan has a webinar coming up on "What's new in 1.2?" It should be a good one.

College Hockey:Maine Keeps Shorthanded UML Reeling
Black Bears Solve Road Woes
LOWELL, Mass. — Maine — which plays seven of its final 11 games away from home — took a giant step to solving its road woes with a goal midway through the third period to edge UMass-Lowell, 2-1, Friday night.
Maine also enjoys playing at Lowell. The Black Bears have now defeated Lowell in nine of their last ten meetings overall, including a 5-0 record at the Tsongas Arena. Maine hasn't lost in Lowell since 1990.
It was also the return of Tim Whitehead to face his old team. Whitehead coached Lowell for the past five seasons before heading north last summer.
"I thought it was a good game, a clean game. Both goalies were sharp. Both teams played smart and from a fan's perspective, it was an enjoyable game," said Whitehead.
Maine (14-7-4, 8-3-2 HEA) leapfrogs Lowell (16-6-1, 8-5-1 HEA) into a tie for second place with Boston University. The free-falling River Hawks lost their third game in a row and now reside in fourth place in the conference.
The first period featured both goalies turning away all of the shots they faced. The scoreless first extended Maine's streak of 29 straight games in which it has led or been tied after the first period.
Maine controlled the play for most of the second period. After a McCormick tripping penalty, Maine took control, pressuring Lowell for the entire length of the penalty. Maine's best chance was a Matt Greyeyes' wrister in the slot. Lowell goalie Cam McCormick made the save but glanced behind himself, thinking the puck trickled into the net.
Maine broke the scoreless game late in the second period. Michael Schutte picked up the loose puck behind the Lowell net, charged in front of the net and stuffed home the puck.
"He attacked quickly," said Whitehead. "It was a good second effort to score the goal."
Lowell tied the game early in the third period. On the power play, Maine couldn't clear the zone and Ed McGrane blasted a shot from above the left faceoff circle to tie the game at one. It was McGrane's team-leading 13th goal of the season and his seventh career goal against Maine.
Moments later, Maine almost got the lead goal as Tom Reimann's shot hit the post, the second by Maine on the night. A little less than a minute later, Greyeyes fed Robert Liscak on the doorstep for the eventual game-winner.
"Greyeyes made a prefect pass and I deflected it in," said Liscak. "I lost my man and got a good pass."
"I had the puck up the boards and fired the puck towards the net," said Greyeyes about his first career assist. "I saw Robert backdoor and put the puck on net."
Lowell wasn't able to get any solid scoring opportunities late in the game, and pulled McCormick with under a minute to go but was unable to come up with the equalizer.
"I was glad to have the big guy back in the net," said Lowell coach Blaise McDonald of McCormick. He returned back between the pipes after missing the previous two games with a groin injury.
"I was proud of the way we played. We had effort, enthusiasm, and energy tonight. I like the play of the team. We tried to keep it simple. We need to pay more attention to the little details."
Maine goalie Mike Morrison made 23 saves in the victory, but McDonald said, "he wasn't tested enough."
Lowell was skating shorthanded. Besides the French trio at the Olympics, Jimi St. John was sidelined with a fractured elbow, and the River Hawks lacked Ken Farrell, who has decided to leave school. Farrell had been injured this year and decided not to return to the team.
The rematch is set for Saturday night in Lowell at 7 p.m.

I wish people who have never experienced the loss of a loved one would keep things to themselves.
An acquaintance said to me she felt people could recover from a debilitating illness if they had a strong faith. I immediately gave her my two cents. I have first-hand knowledge that is not the case.
Letting him go
Tom's last day on earth was a beautiful, sunny April day. The annuals were at their height of bloom. A palette of colors decorates our lawn every spring.
Almost two weeks had passed since Tom left MD Anderson and was under hospice care in our home. Family and close friends came to see him for the last time. Every day was a mini-party, of sorts, because he was still alert enough to "hold court."
So, this particular day didn't have any mark of the end, at least not the way it started. My sister, Joanie, and the hospice nurse raised Tom on the lift to give him a bath. Not long afterward, Tom, sitting up in bed and looking very boyish, received the Viaticum from our parish deacon.
But then, the hospice nurse pulled me aside, "You have got to let him go," she said. I thought to myself, "But I have!"

On Monday, January 13, Georgia's largest television station, WSB-TV, reported that the Department of Health and Human Services has released figures outlining how many people have signed up for health insurance through the federally operated marketplace.
Officials said Monday that more than 58,600 Georgians have signed up for coverage as of Dec. 28.
The marketplace was launched on Oct. 1.
In a breakdown of who is signing up for the Affordable Care Act in Georgia, officials report that fifty-seven percent of enrollees are women and men represent forty-three percent.
Health and Human Services officials say that on a national level enrollment numbers have grown 'eight-fold' last month in the number of people between the ages of 18 and 34 selecting plans through the federal marketplace.
With the General Assembly in session, Georgia Republicans want to reaffirm their opposition to the Affordable Care Act and its implementation.
In December, a cadre of state Republicans publicly said that want to replicate what other states with Republican-led state houses in regard to the Affordable Care Act. For many Republicans, it is a movement to repeal 'Obamacare'.
"Our (proposed legislation) simply says the state of Georgia and any political entity, any agency, any public university or college will simply not be able to implement Obamacare at all," said lead sponsor Rep. Jason Spencer, R-Woodbine, in a news conference on the state Capitol steps.
"We're telling the Obama administration: 'If you want the ACA in Georgia, you're going to pay for it and you're going to implement it. And don't expect aid from Georgia in doing so," said co-sponsor state Rep. Michael Caldwell, R-Woodstock
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which was passed through a Democratic Congress and signed by President Barack Obama in March 2010.
The continued resistance by Georgia Republicans will be a campaign issue in 2014, especially in congressional, U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races.
In the Atlanta Journal Constitution, poll results suggest six of ten Georgians are in favor of Medicaid expansion.
However, Republican Governor Nathan Deal and Georgia Republicans have resisted in expanding Medicaid and opt to do nothing on the state level.
Deal has continued to keep the stance that the Peach State cannot afford to expand Medicaid, despite the federal government would pay 100 percent of the cost for three years and 90 percent permanently after three years.

You might have heard of several spring makeup trends so far this year, but which ones are worth taking advantage of? Whether you can't wait to break out your peach blush or you're interested in trying a new magenta lipstick, there are a few key styles you should be adding to your makeup routine this coming season.
1. Emerald eyes
Pantone recently named emerald the color of 2013, so it's no wonder that it's expected to be a hot hue on lids this spring, according to Tulsa World. Go ahead and dive right into your green eyeshadow!
2. Minimalism
Not sure which makeup to add to your collection this season? Think about doing some purging! Less is more when it comes to the cosmetics you add to your beautiful face in spring 2013, according to the Daily Nebraskan.
3. Rich lips
Deep, dramatic lip colors such as wine and berry are definitely must-wears this spring. Even if you aren't used to the idea of wearing bold lipstick, give it a try! The right shade can do wonders for your pout and give your appearance more flair, whether you're at the office or on a hot date.

The annual Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival celebrates its 18th year this July 25-28 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Vibes has grown into a four-day event, rooted in the traditions forged by the Grateful Dead community, making it one of the most anticipated (and headiest) festivals in the Northeast.
This year Deadheads are looking forward to catching two epic nights of Phil Lesh & Friends along with rocking out to headliners including The Black Crowes, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and The Roots.
For more information or to purchase tickets, visit gatheringofthevibes.com.
For more on what makes this festival so amazing check out the HIGH TIMES interview with Gathering of the Vibes founder Ken Hays.
Tell me about Gathering of the Vibes.
After Jerry Garcia died in '95, it was a devastating blow to all of us. The city of San Francisco, at the Golden Gate Park, did a beautiful tribute for Jerry, thousands of people attended, members of the band. Then the Dead organization wanted to do something similar in New York's Central Park but when Mayor Giuliani said "no" myself and a bunch of friends got together and said, "Well ya know, lets do it ourselves." We went to Suny Purchase College, Memorial Day Weekend 1996 and we put on Deadhead Heaven – A Gathering of the Tribe, and had 3,500 Deadheads come out and celebrate the life of Jerry Garcia and the music of the Grateful Dead… it was a beautiful, beautiful gathering.
How would you describe your personal experience with the Grateful Dead? When did you start seeing shows?
I started seeing shows in '85 and saw about 350+ shows.
When you threw your first memorial party for Jerry in 1996, did you have plans to make it into something bigger? Or was it something that just naturally happened?
Totally winging it from the start – had no idea. It was clear, after Deadhead Heaven, that we had something really special here that we needed to continue and the following year we changed the name from Deadhead Heaven to Gathering of the Vibes.
How did you end up choosing Seaside Park as a venue location?
We were there in '99 and 2000 and then they did a massive renovation of the park so we went upstate New York but then in 2007 came back to Seaside. It's a beautiful venue man. It's 370 waterfront acres with a mile and a half of beach. I love throwing parties on the water, you know. I mean, in upstate New York on a farm is, you know, fine, but it's a totally different vibe. For kids to be dancing in the water and watching the stage at the same time – it's just an awesome thing to experience.
Going into your 18th year of hosting this event, how have you seen the music scene evolve at your festival from "Deadhead Heaven" to "Gathering of the Vibes" today?
Well there is certainly a whole lot more festivals nowadays then there were back in '96, '97. Now, there's a festival every weekend – and that's a good thing. I think for friends and families to come together and hang out and spend quality time with each other and see great music, that can only be a positive thing.
What makes Vibes a "must" for music lovers this summer?
It's a collaboration of great music, friends, family, scenery, and overall positive vibes. It's tough being a dick when everyone around you is smiling. It's contagious.

Is Online Influence What You're Really Looking For
Who is influential?
That is the question. At least that is the question that Traackr was built to answer.
Or was it?
While this may be the most common question asked by marketing & PR pros when thinking about important people on the social web, we realized early on that this was not really the question everyone wanted the answer to (nor was it the most interesting question to answer, from our perspective).
We quickly realized the most important question to answer was not "Who is influential?," but instead:
Who is going to be influential TOMORROW?
Or more specifically:
Who has the greatest POTENTIAL of being influential tomorrow?
And while this may seem like just a subtle re-wording of the original question, it has significant ramifications for how we all think about and approach this concept of influence. It's also (one of) the things that make this whole business of measuring online influence so tricky — because if done right, it must have a built-in predictive element.
What's really important is what action one has the POTENTIAL to drive in the FUTURE.
This is what marketers ultimately care about. What if I could uncover for you the most influential person in your market? A person who has driven traffic, leads and deals to every business he blogs about. Would you be interested? Sure you would. You'd be salivating for that info. Then, what if I told you that yesterday this person decided to shut down all his social media channels and become a Belgian monk, effective immediately. Would you care about him then? Of course not (unless you were into some crazy good beer). While this person's past online influence was enormous, his potential influence is now zero. And, when it comes right down to it…potential influence is all you care about.
The Factors of Potential Influence
Of course, the challenge with trying to hone in on a person's potential influence is that data is, by it's nature, historic. All the stats that you can use to 'calculate' influence are based on past behavior. This requires you to get creative with how you use this data so to make it more predictive. So, when we think about how to gauge someone's potential to be influential in the future, we have to look at a few major factors. To us, for a person to be influential in the future he/she must:
- Have an engaged audience (the size of the audience is not necessarily very important here – more on this later)
- Be active online — recently. Understanding the trend of one's activity is helpful in predicting potential influence. If someone hasn't published anything online in a while, the likelihood that they will publish something in the future is lower…lowering his/her potential influence.
- Be interested in and willing to engage in whatever it is that you are trying to promote
- Have an audience that is responsive to the particular topic that matters to you
If these things are all true, then a person has a high potential, future influence for a particular campaign. Which means they have a higher likelihood of driving "action" in the future.
The Conversion Rate
From a mathematical perspective, one's potential influence is simply the raw number of actions that he/she can drive. How many people he/she can get to do something. And there is a very simple formula for this:
# of people influenced = (size of one's audience) X (% of that audience that can be driven to action)
The first factor in this formula (Audience Size) is fairly simple. It's not always as straight forward to accurately determine as it sounds, but at least it's relatively quantifiable & stable (audience size doesn't vary widely over short periods of time).
The second piece of the equation (% of audience) is the really important piece — call it a Conversion Rate. It defines the % of an audience that can be driven to action. The % of an audience that can be "converted." This Conversion Rate is affected by the factors described above. The more engaged one's audience is, the higher the Conversion Rate.
The more interested and passionate the influencer is with the topic in question, the more likely he/she is to passionately promote the topic, increasing the Conversion Rate. The more relevant and responsive an audience is to a particular topic, the higher the Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate is how a person with a smaller audience can drive as much action as one with a bigger audience. A person with an audience of 50,000 people who can convert 1% of that audience will drive the same amount of raw action as someone with an audience of 5,000 people and a conversion rate of 10%.
- 50,000 x 1% = 500 people
- 5,000 x 10% = 500 people
This is why Audience Size does not equal influence. And it certainly doesn't equal potential influence. Don't get me wrong…it's a factor, but all the elements leading to that conversion rate are what really determine one's potential influence.
How We Have Applied This Thinking
This goal of predicting potential influence has been "baked into" what we do in a few ways:
- We obviously take one's audience size (Reach) into account when we assess someone's influence…but we weigh audience engagement (we call it Resonance) at the same rate as we do Reach. Higher engagement leads to higher Conversion Rates.
- We have a scale which weighs more recent content more heavily in our Relevance algorithm (more on this in the next point). The attempt here is to get a sense for a person's publishing "velocity" and use that as a predictor of their likelihood of publishing in the near future.
- Most importantly, we have always focused VERY heavily on a person's Relevance to a topic in order to determine his/her potential influence. To us, this is the greatest predictor of one's ability to "convert" an audience. The more Relevant a person is to a particular topic (a) the more likely they are to write about that topic; and (b) the more likely their audience is to respond with action. Relevance is the biggest factor in one's Conversion Rate. In our influencer scoring engine, Relevance is the single most important factor in determining one's rank on any search.
These things are all things we consider strong predictors of future influence, or Potential Influence. And these are the steps we take to be more predictive in our analysis/algorithm. Our goal is not to produce lists of influencers, but instead lists of people who have the highest Potential Influence for your particular search.
And it's still very early in the game. We are continuously improving on our system and scoring engine. And as we do, we are constantly seeking that mystical beast which is a highly predictive model of a person's potential influence.
P.S. And not for nothing…one element of one's Potential Influence that we will never be able to measure is the quality of the engagement. The stronger and smarter your engagement with influencers is, the higher the Conversion Rate will be. Your work definitely has an impact on that equation. Don't overlook this point and take "influence" for granted. It's not guaranteed.

A difference while viewing this World Cup football can be noticed while watching the matches on ESPN. Instead of the instant cutaways and bold graphics that we all were habitual of seen in live coverage of football matches, now we should expect a scenic panoramic and wide-angle player shots on he TV screens.
This in-your-face technology has also been a learning experience for the crewmembers of ESPN when they first tested its 3-D camera when they shot football games in September. But that time the action on the ground was too fast for the cameras as the ball moved quickly.
Now the signals from both the conventional and 3-D cameras are fed for the production fro the live eventually then these signals are pushed to pay-TV distributors and a 3-D TV set merges the signals eventually.

TDS Co-Editor William Galston: Ask Not
This item by TDS Co-Editor William Galston is cross-posted from The New Republic.
No later than the first year of the next presidential term, we'll have to find a way of coming together around a plan to restore long-term fiscal sustainability. There are three principal impediments to agreement: the president's health reform law; Medicare and Medicaid; and taxes. I don't mean to suggest that other issues--such as defense and Social Security--are trivial, but only that the gaps on these issues seem easier to bridge.
Of the three most difficult issues, one--the health reform law--will have to wait until 2013, because it will be a focal point of the 2012 presidential campaign. Obama will defend it staunchly, while the Republican nominee will demand its repeal. (If Mitt Romney is his party's candidate, it will be interesting to see how he frames the argument.) If Obama wins, the law will go into effect and become part of the fiscal baseline; if he loses, it probably won't.
I'll focus today on one of the remaining issues--Medicare--reserving the others for future columns. I'm leading off with it because I have some skin in the game: This January, I had the sobering experience of signing up for Medicare. (Note to fellow boomers: make sure you've set aside a good bottle of wine to get you through the period of mourning that follows.)
As I filled out my form, I began thinking about my situation. My wife and I are both professionals. While neither of us is paid lavishly, our combined income is enough to place us in the upper-middle class. For us, Medicare's major advantage is guaranteed issue regardless of preexisting conditions. (And you don't reach my age without accruing some.) If we had to pay the full actuarial cost of our insurance, we could. Yes, we'd probably have to make some adjustments elsewhere in our budget. But we'd still be more comfortable than most working Americans, even after we retire.
There's an obvious rejoinder: Haven't my wife and I already paid into the system for the benefits we'll receive over the next two or three decades? Answer: Yes, but not enough. A few months ago, Eugene Steuerle and Stephanie Renanne of the Urban Institute put out a very useful summary, "Social Security and Medicare Taxes and Benefits Over a Lifetime," calculated for different retirement cohorts. While I'm no methodologist, their assumptions seem straightforward and plausible. Applying them to our own case suggests that the value of my contributions falls short of the actuarial value of our benefits by at least $100,000. And if my wife and I were younger professionals scheduled to retire in 2030, the gap would be far greater.
So who's going to make up the difference? Answer: today's workers, many of whom are already struggling to raise their children, pay the mortgage, and save for college. Worse, workers as a share of the total population are declining. A recent analysis of BLS data showed that share declining in 2010 to only 45.3 percent, the lowest since 1983. Yes, part of that decline represents the effects of the Great Recession. But longer-term trends are also evident: our population is aging, the share of women working outside the home has plateaued, and men have been dropping out of the labor force for more than a quarter of a century. A generation ago, more than 80 percent of working-age men were employed. Today, that figure stands at 66.8 percent.
One of the large demographic developments of the past generation is the emergence of a mass upper-middle class, a new meritocracy of credentialed professionals whose family incomes reflect the compounding effects of assortive mating. While we are not rich, our lives differ quantitatively and qualitatively from those of today's hard-pressed middle class. Our lives are rich with choices; theirs are driven mostly by necessity. It's just not right for us to make their lives even harder. Nor is it sustainable. Over the next decade, our country can't afford the tax cuts the Republicans insist on giving us. Nor can it afford to subsidize our retirement--certainly not to the extent of current law.
My fellow boomer-professionals, fiscal responsibility begins at home. Didn't the young president who inspired so many of us fifty years ago have something to say about this? Are we still capable of responding?

An area school district begins its random drug testing policy for faculty and many of the students, after almost a year of planning.
The Allen County School District began testing faculty and staff back in December of 2006.
In January testing began for students who participate in extra-curricular activities or those who drive to school.
"We're trying to stop students from ever starting to use drugs and if a student ever does have a problem with drugs or alcohol situation they can come to us and ask for help before they get tested," said David Young, the Drug Coordinator.
Julie Shelton and her daughter Shelby were both randomly selected for drug testing under the Allen County School District's new guidelines.
"I think the odds of that are about one in 400,000 that we would both be randomly selected in one day," Julie said.
While it was unusual that a mother and daughter were picked on the same day, Julie said she wasn't concerned. However, Shelby was a little apprehensive at first.
"I was kind of worried about it. I didn't know if I'd be selected or not but I knew if I were it wouldn't be the end of the world," Shelby said.
Under the district's new policy, all faculty and staff are subject to random drug tests.
Students from seventh to 12th grade who participate in extra curricular activities including clubs, music and sports, or those who drive to school can be randomly tested.
"I think it's something that's on the minds of parents, wondering what their kids are involved with," Julie said.
While Shelby said she's not concerned about being selected again, she thinks the testing is an extra incentive to keep students on the straight and narrow.
"When I'm out at parties or something my friends and I realize we could be tested, so in the back of our minds that's an incentive to say 'no' to things that are thrown our way," Shelby said.
Parents who have students that don't fall into the requirements can volunteer their child to be placed in the random pool by signing them up at the school.
Young said under the policy, if a student tests positive once they're not able to participate in extracurricular activities for four weeks. The second time they can't participate for 12 weeks, the third one year and the fourth for the rest of their high school eligibility. He adds if a faculty member tests positive The Board of Education, the superintendent and the Standards Board looks at the matter.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily0 What a flavor combination!!! I was hooked by the Ginger Wasabi w/Sea Salt name on the label - and oh so pleasantly surprised with the hint of ground Habeñero chili pepper - kicks it up just a bit! I would definitely recommend to chocolate aficionados - even without the % chocolate content listed. It's worth trying for the flavors and the price is a great value. January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CocoaNut1 Best chocolate hybrid ever! This chocolate bar is a must-have for true chocolate-hybrid taste lovers. Purists beware, one bite of this might break down your inhibitions! First, savor the smooth, dark chocolate. Then, wait for the spicy hints of ginger and wasabi to titillate your tongue as it melts away in your mouth. Surprising sparks of sea salt burst sporadically as you savor the incredible blend of sweet, salt, spice and dark luscious chocolate. This bar left me wanting more, more, more! Which is sad, because a World Market is no where near me and I have to rely on the kindness of others to bring them to me. Enjoy! April 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Karenkt Spicy but Good The ginger and wasabi is a little spicy but it's chocolate so what can I say? It's still delicious!! November 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Trisha23 Just an FYI This chocolate has ground habanero chili pepper in it. I was not expecting that, so just an FYI. December 27, 2014

We've all had one: the phantom pooper. Our neighbor insists it's not her terrier who keeps making special deliveries in our backyard, but we're unconvinced. That's why we're investing in this Brinno MAC100 HomeWatchCam ($170). It's waterproof and motion-activated, so we can leave it outside to record the evidence we'll need to confront her about Sparky's crimes.

Secrets of Success
Fine Tuning the Focus
Monday, December 23, 2013
Tis the season! I love this time of year because the news feeds are a buzz with all the hope and inspiration for a new, better year. I was sharing with my House Ravenclaw sisters over at Hogwarts that I don't tend to make New Year's resolutions per se. I do goal setting and re-setting so regularly that this month will simply be another review of last month and an assessment of what I want to do for the next.
Which brings me to my 'resolutions', both of which are focused on fitness. My focus will be increasing the intensity of my workouts. I'm putting it out there where you all can see it. No more phoning in my minutes by lackadaisically pedaling on the recumbent bike. Even though the 30 minutes at around 12 mph gets my heart rate up and I work up the tiniest bit of sweat, I'm ready to challenge myself!
My second focus is to get into a real routine with strength training. I think part of why it's been hard for me to stick to a routine is because it isn't daily. I was able to incorporate regular fitness and a healthy breakfast into my daily routine because it was daily. Somehow, I need to find my groove that includes three strength sessions. Maybe I'll color code those days on my planner that I've been using.
I feel that I made some progress with my relationship with food over the last month. I attribute it to the meal planning and retraining my brain. I'm confident the plan has the nourishment that I need. It consists of six small meals throughout the day, so it's easier to avoid a hunge-induced binge, something that I have not had in a long while. As for retraining my brain, I think I've written about it before. I'm accepting natural and healthy food and finding that they can be satisfying without piling on sugar or high calorie additions.
I've decided to retrain my brain in regard to weight loss as well. I'm focusing less on losing weight and more on building and retaining lean muscle mass. A healthy bi-product of that effort will be fat/weight loss. I think I might actually put a project plan together for this, make it all official like!
There you have it. Consistency and intensity, always with a focus on being as strong as I can be. That's my mission for the new year.

I already said part of this over in the CR, but try setting a miles goal on that bike instead of a minutes goal. You'll ride faster. I also like to throw in several "as fast as I can go" intervals.
There are several free ST plans (so that you don't have to figure out which moves to do in order to alternate body parts) at bodybuilding.com - I especially like the Jamie Eason LiveFit 12 week plan.
I know you can make it all happen.

Can you do different muscle groups on the strength training, and then do it everyday. Like one day legs and abs and on the next day arms and back? Then just rotate the plan? Sounds like great goals and when you have those who needs resolutions! Have a wonderful Christmas!

Suppose $\psi_E (x)=N(E)\exp (ikx)$
where $\psi_E (x)$ is a momentum eigenfunction, $N(E)$ is the normalization constant on the energy scale such that $\langle E'|E\rangle=\int_{-\infty}^\infty \psi_{E'}^*(x)\psi_E(x) dx=\delta (E-E')$, $k$ is the wave number corresponding to energy $E$ so that $k={\sqrt{2mE}\over h}$.
I wish to know how one can find $N(E)$ explicitly.
$\delta(\sqrt{E}-\sqrt{E'})=2\sqrt{E} \delta(E-E')$ right? This is obtained using the property $\delta (f(x))=\sum_i{\delta(x-x_i)\over |f'(x_i)|}$ where $x_i$ is a zero of $f(x)$. Here I have taken $x$ to be $E$.
But then we could equally have taken $E'$ instead, giving $\delta(\sqrt{E}-\sqrt{E'})=2\sqrt{E'} \delta(E-E')$. Is there a way to resolve the breaking of symmetry in the expression? -- since I need $N^*(E')N(E)={1\over2\sqrt{E}}={1\over2\sqrt{E'}}$.
Thank you.

Chaos Wars: 50 YearsIntroduction:Chaos Wars: 50 Years by jaykoya
This will be a fanfic (with accompanied fan art) of a storyline i'm coming up with. It will have my Fursonas (Check my gallery) as well as some of our beloved Sonic characters. I'll also be throwing Jaykoya in to the mix as well. Another possible outcome to the spacial rip that Darkon threw him in, he'll land in the depths of the Mobian forest.
This first chapter will be the final chapter of an untold tale of death, betrayal, and despair as the Hue-man race infiltrated Mobian soil thanks to the workings of Doctor Ivan "Eggman" Robotnik the third. This is their story.
Prologue: Fair Well Sonic
"It's time to open the gates! Power up the Chaos Emeralds!" Cackled an evil voice. He had worked so hard to obtain the chaos emeralds from their guardian's clutches. The time was now. It was time to bring in his people and save them from extinction.
"Not if we can help it, Ro-Butt-Nik!" Robotnik spun around. "YOU!"

College Hockey:Concordia Rallies With Six-Goal Third
3-1 Eau Claire Lead Evaporates Late In Game
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Concordia scored six times in the third period to turn a two-goal deficit into a 7-4 victory over Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Eau Claire led 3-1 going into the final 20 minutes as goals by Michelle Coughlin, Kristy Bolling and Maria Falcone offset a lone goal by Concordia's Sandra Johansson.
But Lindsay Curtis started the barrage at the 4:29 mark, and Annie Knierim tied the score just over a minute later.
Eau Claire's Sarah Zollars gave her team a short-lived 4-3 lead at the 6:32 mark, 42 seconds after Kneirim tied the score. Then Concordia struck for four more goals, including the game-winner by Katie Jacques at 8:27.
Kurtis, Knierim and Ann Birgenheier closed out the scoring.
Concordia used two goalies: Sarah Kuecher and Shyla Wilson combined for 16 saves. Eric Bray turned away 38 shots for Eau Claire.
