Brand Leadershipby David A. Aaker Erich Joachimsthaler
A dozen management fads have come and gone in the past decade, but brand equity, first explored by David Aaker in the late 1980s, has exploded in importance. Recognized byBrandweekas "the dean of the brand-equity movement," Aaker now prepares managers for the next level of the brand revolution -- brand leadership. For the first time, Aaker and coauthor Erich Joachimsthaler describe how the emerging paradigm of strategic brand leadership is replacing the classic, tactically oriented brand management system pioneered by Procter & Gamble. This fundamental shift involves nothing less than a revolution in organizational structure, systems, and culture -- as the authors demonstrate with hundreds of case studies from companies such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Virgin Airlines, Adidas, GE, Marriott, IBM, McDonald's, Maggi, and Swatch. This immensely readable book provides the brand management team with the capability to:Create and elaborate brand identities (what should the brand stand for)Use the brand relationship spectrum, a powerful tool to harness subbrands and endorsed brands to form brand architectures that create clarity, synergy and leveraged assetsIdentify the customer "sweet spot" and the driving idea that will move brand-building efforts beyond advertising to break out of the clutterUse the Internet and sponsorship to make brands resources work more effectivelyAddress the four imperatives of global brand managementLike David Aaker's two previous bestselling books,Brand Leadershipwill be essential reading for line executives and brand managers in market-driven firms worldwide.
Brand Portfolio Strategyby David A. Aaker
In this long-awaited book from the world's premier brand expert and author of the seminal work Building Strong Brands, David Aaker shows managers how to construct a brand portfolio strategy that will support a company's business strategy and create relevance, differentiation, energy, leverage, and clarity. Building on case studies of world-class brands such as Dell, Disney, Microsoft, Sony, Dove, Intel, CitiGroup, and PowerBar, Aaker demonstrates how powerful, cohesive brand strategies have enabled managers to revitalize brands, support business growth, and create discipline in confused, bloated portfolios of master brands, subbrands, endorser brands, co-brands, and brand extensions. Aaker offers readers step-by-step advice on what to do when confronting scenarios such as the following: Brands are underleveraged The business strategy is at risk because of inadequate brand platforms The business faces a relevance threat caused by emerging subcategories The firm's brands are tired and bland Strategy is paralyzed by a lack of priority among the brands Brands are cluttered and confusing to both customers and employees The firm needs to move into the super-premium or value arenas to create margin or sales volume Margin pressures require points of differentiation Renowned brand guru Aaker demonstrates that assuring that each brand in the portfolio has a clear role and actively reinforces and supports the other portfolio brands will profoundly affect the firm's profitability. Brand Portfolio Strategy is required reading not only for brand managers but for all managers with bottom-line responsibility to their shareholders.
Brand Relevanceby David A. Aaker
Branding guru Aaker shows how to eliminate the competition and become the lead brand in your marketThis ground-breaking book defines the concept of brand relevance using dozens of case studies-Prius, Whole Foods, Westin, iPad and more-and explains how brand relevance drives market dynamics, which generates opportunities for your brand and threats for the competition. Aaker reveals how these companies have made other brands in their categories irrelevant. Key points: When managing a new category of product, treat it as if it were a brand; By failing to produce what customers want or losing momentum and visibility, your brand becomes irrelevant; and create barriers to competitors by supporting innovation at every level of the organization.Using dozens of case studies, shows how to create or dominate new categories or subcategories, making competitors irrelevantShows how to manage the new category or subcategory as if it were a brand and how to create barriers to competitorsDescribes the threat of becoming irrelevant by failing to make what customer are buying or losing energyDavid Aaker, the author of four brand books, has been called the father of brandingThis book offers insight for creating and/or owning a new business arena. Instead of being the best, the goal is to be the only brand around-making competitors irrelevant.
Building Strong Brandsby David A. Aaker
As industries turn increasingly hostile, it is clear that strong brand-building skills are needed to survive and prosper. In David Aaker's pathbreaking book, Managing Brand Equity, managers discovered the value of a brand as a strategic asset and a company's primary source of competitive advantage. Now, in this compelling new work, Aaker uses real brand-building cases from Saturn, General Electric, Kodak, Healthy Choice, McDonald's, and others to demonstrate how strong brands have been created and managed. A common pitfall of brand strategists is to focus on brand attributes. Aaker shows how to break out of the box by considering emotional and self-expressive benefits and by introducing the brand-as-person, brand-as-organization, and brand-as-symbol perspectives. The twin concepts of brand identity (the brand image that brand strategists aspire to create or maintain) and brand position (that part of the brand identity that is to be actively communicated) play a key role in managing the "out-of-the-box" brand. A second pitfall is to ignore the fact that individual brands are part of a larger system consisting of many intertwined and overlapping brands and subbrands. Aaker shows how to manage the "brand system" to achieve clarity and synergy, to adapt to a changing environment, and to leverage brand assets into new markets and products. Aaker also addresses practical management issues, introducing a set of brand equity measures, termed the brand equity ten, to help those who measure and track brand equity across products and markets. He presents and analyzes brand-nurturing organizational forms that are responsive to the challenges of coordinated brands across markets, products, roles, and contexts. Potentially destructive organizational pressures to change a brand's identity and position are also discussed. As executives in a wide range of industries seek to prevent their products and services from becoming commodities, they are recommitting themselves to brands as a foundation of business strategy. This new work will be essential reading for the battle-ready.
Managing Brand Equityby David A. Aaker
The most important assets of any business are intangible: its company name, brands, symbols, and slogans, and their underlying associations, perceived quality, name awareness, customer base, and proprietary resources such as patents, trademarks, and channel relationships. These assets, which comprise brand equity, are a primary source of competitive advantage and future earnings, contends David Aaker, a national authority on branding. Yet, research shows that managers cannot identify with confidence their brand associations, levels of consumer awareness, or degree of customer loyalty. Moreover in the last decade, managers desperate for short-term financial results have often unwittingly damaged their brands through price promotions and unwise brand extensions, causing irreversible deterioration of the value of the brand name. Although several companies, such as Canada Dry and Colgate-Palmolive, have recently created an equity management position to be guardian of the value of brand names, far too few managers, Aaker concludes, really understand the concept of brand equity and how it must be implemented. In a fascinating and insightful examination of the phenomenon of brand equity, Aaker provides a clear and well-defined structure of the relationship between a brand and its symbol and slogan, as well as each of the five underlying assets, which will clarify for managers exactly how brand equity does contribute value. The author opens each chapter with a historical analysis of either the success or failure of a particular company's attempt at building brand equity: the fascinating Ivory soap story; the transformation of Datsun to Nissan; the decline of Schlitz beer; the making of the Ford Taurus; and others. Finally, citing examples from many other companies, Aaker shows how to avoid the temptation to place short-term performance before the health of the brand and, instead, to manage brands strategically by creating, developing, and exploiting each of the five assets in turn
Spanning Silosby David A. Aaker
Powerful product, country, and functional silos are jeopardizing companies' marketing efforts. Because of silos, firms misallocate resources, send inconsistent messages to the marketplace, and fail to leverage scale economies and successes--all of which can threaten a company's survival.As David Aaker shows in Spanning Silos, the unfettered decentralization that produces silos is no longer feasible in today's marketplace. It's up to chief marketing officers to break down silo walls to foster cooperation and synergy.This isn't easy: silo teams guard their autonomy vigorously. As proof of their power, consider the fact that the average CMO tenure is just twenty-three months. How to proceed? Drawing on interviews with CMOs, Aaker explains how to:Strength your credibility with silo teams and your CEOUse cross-functional teams and other strategic linking devicesFoster communication across silosSelect the right CMO role-- from facilitator to strategic captainDevelop common planning processesAdapt your brand strategy to silo unitsAllocate marketing dollars strategically across silosDevelop silo-spanning marketing programsIn this age of dynamic markets, new media, and globalization, getting the different parts of your organization to collaborate is more critical--and more difficult--than ever. This book gives you the road map you need to accomplish that feat.

How to set up NetBeans to treat files with an extension as PHP files II
By Petr on Jun 17, 2008
Last week I described in the article How to set up NetBeans to treat files with an extension as PHP files, how to do it in the Early Access build and I mentioned that the NetBeans core team is working on simplifying the procedure. And now the feature is in the build.
If you download a continual or daily build, you can see the Open As ... action in the context menu of files that are not recognized by default. If you invoke it, then the Open As ... dialog opens and you can choose how the files with the same extension will be treated in NetBeans. If you choose mimetype text/x-php5, then files with the same extension will be opened in the PHP editor.
And you can change it later in the Options dialog.

College Hockey:Draft Day Only the Beginning For Thelen, Booth
The day the Minnesota North Stars bolted his home state for Texas was the day a young A.J. Thelen stopped worrying about where he might play some day in the NHL. All he began to care about was getting there.
"I have no real favorite now," said Thelen, a standout defenseman for Michigan State. "Once the North Stars left, I started following other teams. My goal is to play in the NHL. It doesn't matter where."
One of the top rookies in the CCHA last season and the only freshman nationally to be named an All-American, Thelen will move a giant step closer this weekend, when he is expected to be a first round pick in the NHL Entry Draft.
Thelen is one of two Spartans ranked among the top North American skaters eligible for the draft. Rated No. 11, he is regarded as the top CCHA player and second-best collegian (behind North Dakota's Drew Stafford) available to be selected.
MSU forward David Booth is listed 27th among North American skaters in the final NHL Central Scouting Service rankings.
Thelen said that being a No. 1 draft pick would be an acknowledgement of his abilities, but he said he recognizes that it does not guarantee his future. What he does next season at MSU — he plans to return for his sophomore season — and in subsequent seasons will determine that, he said.
"The draft is the day you put on a jersey," he said. "Overall, you get picked and put on a team. But then you have to work to get there."
A member of the CCHA all-Rookie Team, Thelen became the first Spartan also to be named to the all-CCHA First Team. He was named a Second-Team All- American and a member of the USCHO.com national All-Rookie Team. He finished second among CCHA defensemen and fifth nationally with 29 points. Five of his goals came on the power play, and he led the Spartans with 10 power-play points.
Booth was named to the CCHA all-Rookie Team two seasons ago when he collected 36 points (17 goals, 19 assists) in 39 games. His point production slumped last season — he accounted for 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) in 29 games — but he missed eight games early in the season with a knee injury. He did return to action in time to help Team USA win the gold medal at the World Junior Championships.
"The draft is a great opportunity, because it's the first step toward reaching your goal," Booth said. "It's good to know that someone is interested in you and respects your abilities, but I'm not worried about where I'll get picked. What matters is how much you develop after you're picked."
Though both Thelen and Booth would like to be selected by a team that plays a style that suits their abilities, the two say they can and will adapt to help any NHL team. Booth said he has had to adjust his style every time he changes teams, as he did last season between MSU and Team USA.
Thelen agreed: "I prefer being really offensive, but if a team wants me to focus more on playing defense, I'll do it to get to where I need to go."
Neither Spartan said he has been distracted by draft speculation. Both are focusing on summer classes and conditioning.
"It's not a distraction because, even if you get drafted, you haven't made it yet," Booth said. "So many guys who get drafted never play (in the NHL). Only a small percentage do. Once you get drafted, it's more incentive to work harder. You want to make an impression, so you have to work on it."

Spectators and competitors alike made sure to get a good look at Allison Jones's slalom runs at Park City Mountain Resort on Thursday.
Competing in the Huntsman Cup, the week's races were the last for Jones, who retired from skiing after the event.
A storied career that includes a Paralympic gold medal from the 2006 Games, a bronze medal at the 2014 Sochi Games and various other Winter Paralympics medals finished with a bang, as Jones won both Thursday's women's standing slalom event and Wednesday's women's standing giant slalom race.
Despite spotty snow conditions, Jones and the rest of the racers were happy with the way the course held up for the event.
"They managed to run a really good event with the conditions," she said. "It turned out to be a really successful event."
Jones said she tried to enjoy her last event as much as she could, spending time on the slopes with some of the friends she's made throughout her ski racing career.
"I was just having fun, really," she said. "It was good to be with friends. I had a blast just chilling and skiing."
But, now that her career is over, she's looking forward to taking the next step in her life.
"I really want to start my next career," she said.
Jones, who has a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Denver, isn't sure exactly what that next career will be, but she's ready to get going.
Her racing days aren't entirely over, though.
"I plan to go through Rio, the 2016 Paralympics," she said.
Katrina Schaber (second) and Melanie Schwartz (third) joined Jones on the slalom podium Thursday, while Laurie Stephens won the sitting slalom race and Staci Mannella won the visually-impaired slalom with guide Kim Seevers.
Schaber (second) and Schwartz (third) also joined Jones on the giant slalom podium. Mannella and Seevers again won the visually-impaired event and Alana Nichols won the sitting GS race.
Stephanie Jallen won Friday's standing slalom race, with Schaber and Schwartz again finishing second and third. Stephens won the sitting slalom and Mannella/Seevers took first in the visually-impaired race.
On the men's side, Jeffrey Peterson won Wednesday's visually-impaired GS race. Ralph Green won the standing giant slalom event and Arly Velasquez took gold in the sitting GS.
In Friday's slalom race, Larry Martin won the visually-impaired class, with Green taking first in the standing class and Heath Calhoun earning gold in the sitting class.

Henry "Turtle" Thomas begins his first season at Arizona State as assistant coach and national recruiting coordinator. Thomas comes to ASU after seven seasons at LSU, where he was the Tiger's hitting instructor and recruiting coordinator.
No stranger to big time college baseball, Thomas has coached at some of the elite programs throughout the United States. He began his Division I career as an assistant at Clemson, spending eight seasons there, including a trip to the College World Series in 1980. From there he moved to Georgia Tech, where he spent two years as the assistant head coach under current Miami head coach Jim Morris. In 1988 he was named assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the University of Miami (Florida), where he spent 12 seasons. While with the Hurricanes, Thomas was a part of nine College World Series teams, including the 1999 National Champions. Thomas and Miami went to Omaha six consecutive years from 1994 to 1999.
Thomas joined the LSU Tigers in 2000 and promptly won another National Championship, his second in a row. The 2000 title was one of three trips to the College World Series that Thomas made in his seven seasons in Baton Rouge. All told, Thomas has been to 13 College World Series so far in his 29-year coaching career.
Thomas is considered one of the premiere college baseball recruiters in the nation, thanks to 18 straight recruiting classes ranked among Collegiate Baseball's Top 10 at both Miami and LSU. He is the only recruiting coordinator in the nation who has signed the number one rated class four times, and he has never had a class rated lower than ninth over the past 18 years. Thomas has also signed the #2 rated class four times. Every class he signed at LSU was ranked in the Top 6, including his 2004 class which was considered #1 in the country.
More than 60 of Thomas' recruits have advanced to play pro baseball, including big leaguers Charles Johnson, Alex Fernandez, Pat Burrell, Danny Graves, Alex Cora, Aubrey Huff and Brad Hawpe. He also signed superstars Chipper Jones and Alex Rodriguez to National Letters of Intent while at Miami, although both signed professionally rather than attend college.
A 1975 graduate of High Point (N.C.) College, Thomas earned a master's degree from UNC-Greensboro in 1978. He was a four-year letterman at catcher, playing two seasons at Campbell University before completing his final two undergraduate years at High Point.
Thomas is married to the former Maria Carmen Nateman, and they have three children, Kevin, Kristen and Keith. He picked up the nickname "Turtle" in junior high school from a classmate who thought he resembled a turtle.
"Turtle Thomas was not only the best hitting coach I've ever had but also one of the greatest mentors as well. To this day, even after six seasons in the major leagues, I still consult with him about baseball and life. Turtle was always tough on us all in college, but it paid of for many of us who have made it to the big leagues. A lot of hitting in baseball has to do with being prepared mentally and Turtle taught me in college how to be mentally tough. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of everything he's ever done for me." -- Aubrey Huff, Current Baltimore Orioles outfielder
"Turtle Thomas is the best coach I've ever seen in 1-on-1 situations. He was very effective working with our hitters and had a noticeable impact on our offense. A tremendous pickup for ASU." -- Hall of Fame coach Skip Bertman
"When I speak about loyalty, I think about Turtle Thomas. Turtle possesses a great knowledge of the game of baseball and has a passion for the players he coaches. Helping young players improve and succeed is very important to him, and his enthusiasm for his players is extremely evident." -- Former LSU head coach, Smoke Laval

Part 1 – Introduction
Part 2 – Writing a Web Service With JAX-WS
Part 3 – Deploying a Web Service on Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic, GlassFish, and WebSphere
Part 4 – Securing a Web Service With OpenSSO WSS Agents
Part 5 – Conclusion and Resources
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is one of the more promising concepts to emerge in enterprise architecture recently. SOA involves the use of loosely coupled, independent application services made available across a network. These services communicate through a standardized, platform-independent protocol that hides the underlying implementation details of each service. For example, a .NET client can access a service that is implemented in Java. By using a standardized interface language, the application that publishes a service need not know anything about the calling application. This modularization makes SOA particularly useful for enterprise and inter-enterprise architectures.
SOA can be implemented using several technologies; however, the most common choice today is Web Services. Web Services are published in a standard XML format called WSDL (Web Services Description Language), which describes the services available on a given server. A client invokes a web service by sending a request to the server using the XML-based SOAP or REST protocols. Messages are typically sent over an HTTP or HTTPS connection, so services can easily be published over the internet (hence the name web services).
Part 2 of this article explains how to write a web service with JAX-WS and view the requests and responses of the unsecured web service. Part 3 explains how to deploy it in several popular Java EE server containers. Part 4 explains how to secure the web service with OpenSSO Web Service Security (WSS) Agent.
JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services) is a technology designed to simplify the construction of web services and web service clients in Java. The latest version, JAX-WS 2.1, is part of the Java EE 5 platform. The platform provides powerful tools and techniques to facilitate web service development.
JAX-WS 2.1 provides a library of annotations and a toolkit of Ant tasks and command-line utilities that hide the complexity of the underlying XML message protocol. This release supports various protocols, including SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, and REST. It uses JAXB 2.0 for XML data binding. When writing a JAX-WS 2.0/2.1 web service, you use annotations to define methods either in an interface or directly in an implementation class. The interface can be automatically generated. On the client side, the web service client creates a proxy object, then invokes methods on the proxy. Neither the server nor the client needs to generate or parse SOAP or REST messages; the JAX-WS 2.0/2.1 API takes care of these tedious low-level tasks.

Milgard Horizontal Sliding Replacement Windows
Milgard Horizontal Sliding Windows are all about ease of opening and conservation of space. Because all Milgard windows come with Low-E glazing, you can trust that your sliders are an excellent choice for energy efficiency. They are also available in custom shapes and sizes.
Most of Milgard's horizontal sliders are single-sash operators, meaning that only one side of the window slides open. However, in their "Tuscany" architectural line of vinyl windows, the horizontal double slider opens on both sides simultaneously.
Window options for horizontal sliders:
- * Grids
- * Several hardware options
- * Energy efficiency coating upgrades
- * Tinted, obscure, clear, tempered, laminated or argon glass.
Color Choices
Colors vary by frame material. For vinyl, the standard tan and white can always be expected. For aluminum, add clear and bronze anodized frames. Wood-clad fiberglass windows have by far the most color options, with mahogany or Douglas fir interiors and a range of exterior cladding colors. These include hues of red, green, black, tan and white, among others.
Window Frame Materials
For your new window frame, you have the option of every material type that Milgard offers: vinyl, fiberglass, wood-clad, aluminum, thermally-improved aluminum and sound control windows.

The boys are back! On July 1 Deadline revealed the first trailer for the upcoming film "Horrible Bosses 2," the sequel to a film about three men who try to kill each other's bosses. Now the three men have reunited for another adventure that apparently involves a kidnapping. The sequel to the highly successful 2011 black comedy is scheduled to arriving in theaters this November.
The trailer is just over one and a half minutes long, and features many of the original cast as well as newcomers Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine. Dale (Charlie Day), Nick (Jason Bateman), and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) are all now the bosses of their own businesses, but it's not going the way they had planned. They become entrepreneurs but an scam investor steals everything away. They need to return to their old ways when their new business venture is stolen out from under them.
The trailer features the trio going to visit Dave (Kevin Spacey) in jail, and he isn't exactly happy to see them. Next, the men go to see Motherf---er Jones (Jamie Foxx), who has a larger role on the team after helping Dave blackmail his boss Julia to stop harassing him at work. The group are now trying to kidnap one of their new bosses for ransom in order to steal back their business, and use their old methods to do so.
The trio are shown running around and trying to plan out their new adventure so they don't get caught again. They are shown looking in the trunk of a car and slow motion walking away from a bar until they decide that it's stupid. There are flashy cars, bags of money and swat teams searching abandon buildings as well as plenty of guns and dangerous situations for everyone involved.
On June 30 USA Today posted new information about the upcoming sequel, including that the trio will have to deal with their former bosses in order to destroy their new ones. Jennifer Aniston (Julia) make another appearance as Dale's horny boss and she is still as crazy as ever. Since they have her on blackmail, she can help them steal back their business and Dale won't have to work as a dental assistant anymore. It also marks the first time Aniston has ever appeared in a sequel, as well as the original film.
"Horrible Bosses 2" is expected to arrive in theaters on November 26. The screenplay for the film was written by Sean Anders, Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley, while John Morris and Michael Markowitz contributed to the characters. Sean Anders is also directing the project and has worked with several of the main cast members on previous films.

It was a night of laughs and letting go on tonight's new episode of Cougar Town on TBS titled "I Need to Know". Since her college-aged son Travis (Dan Byrd) has returned to school, Jules (Courteney Cox) feels like she is losing sight of her son. Meanwhile, the guys of the Cul De Sac crew ponder what it is like to ponder things with mustaches. Also, as per the title card, the letters in Cougar Town can be rearranged to spell "Taco Rug Now" (which also makes no sense). So does Jules find out why Travis is ignoring her? Do the guys really think better with mustaches? And who will watch Tom's (Bob Clendenin) cat?
FACT: We'll get to that in a second, and even discuss Grayson's slightly gay Ferrari-like waxed/shaved chest. But before we go further, there is another thing to look at in regards to Cougar Town. The first episode back for Cougar Town (which the review for which can be found here) was an episode that came back swinging, aiming for the fences and in doing so delivered. Bad sports analogy aside, the real test will be the second episode and subsequent episodes following. So how does episode two fare?
"I Need to Know" starts off bringing out the heavy laughs and heart with Travis and Jules on a bench making a trade: laundry for mother/son hugs. Travis is, as always, so devoid of showing his other emotion naturally to Jules, they have a deal where they exchange hugs and a 'I love you' for laundry. As a son, who loves his mother deeply, there is always a bit of that general feeling and at some point it was instantly relatable (at least from my perspective). The heartfelt laughs turned into horrific but hysterical laughs as Jules has a family night and decides to watch Game of Thrones. Travis warns it is a bit racy, and the horror part comes in when they start discussing Jules boobs before and after Travis got a hold of them. Oh yeah: Travis is on a first date with a girl.*
(*) – Isn't it very peculiar that the girl looks overly a lot like Busy Philipps' character Laurie but with red hair and glasses? Looking at the credits we learn it is not, and the girl quickly disappears from all but the scene in the rest of the episode, but that was an interesting idea to perhaps investigate in future episodes.
The heavy laughs keep coming with the game "Things That Annoy Ellie" (Christa Miller) between Eliie, Bobby (Brian Van Holt) and her husband Andy (Ian Gomez). Surprisingly fedoras are high on the list. But instead, Ellie has a gripe with Andy, and decides to take the unwitting advise from Bobby; treat Andy like a dog by rewarding good behavior with treats. And it begins to work. Meanwhile Jules hasn't heard much from Travis (nine whole days!) and begins to feel that her son doesn't love her or maybe he was hurt.
Fact is, Travis, like most kids, want some privacy and alone time, or, really, doesn't like to be real. And with his mom, he has to be real. While with Bobby, and even Grayson, Travis feels odd that out of everyone in his life, his mom wants to have a real conversation, and well, be real. Again, there is always one parent who is usually the parent who is real with their kid, and it can be hard, until a certain age, to keep a real conversation constantly going.
What was particularly interesting about "I Need to Know" though, was the real through-line of heart in the episode. Usually Cougar Town always seemed to lean more towards the laugh than the heart, but more often than not, most of this episode of Cougar Town had a real beating heart underneath every scene. And not to dismiss any episode before this one, as Cougar Town has tons of heart, but it was the first time I was very much reminded of some of the best episodes of Scrubs, where every little thing wasn't quickly sold out for the laugh, but played up for the emotional pay-off. Between Travis and Jules, Jules even feeling bad about not feeding Tom's cat, especially Andy and Ellie, it was an episode that not only made laugh out loud quite a few times but made me a bit wistful. (That's code for you almost got me to give up a man card, Cougar Town.)
So will this same vibe continue as Cougar Town chugs along it's fourth season? Sincerely, I hope so. A lot of people are quick to make figurative statements and comparisons to Cougar Town to that of wine. And honestly I was quick to try not to do that. At that point, it is a cliché, but I think I can join the crowd now as Cougar Town is the same but it is not, and to me that feels that it is different all for the better. Two episodes in, I am finding myself to be enjoying this TBS vintage of Cougar Town a tad bit more.
Cougar Town airs on TBS which is on Channel 17 on Columbus Insight Communications and Channel 18 for Columbus Time Warner Customers

Instead of making Leroy a cake for his birthday last week I mentioned that I made some berry popsicles as a special treat.
They were a big hit so I thought I would share the recipe with you in case you are looking for a super simple cool treat for your dog this summer.
You only need 4 ingredients, one of which is a secret ingredient!
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Plain, all natural, nonfat yogurt
- Coconut oil <—Secret ingredient!
Honestly, I didn't measure it out.
I just threw some plain nonfat yogurt in a bowl with some frozen strawberries and blueberries and mixed it all up. It was probably about 16 oz of yogurt and about a cup of frozen berries. I added about a tablespoon of coconut oil and scooped it into popsicle molds.
Of course you can always use fresh berries, but my strawberry and blueberry plants are not producing any fruits this year so I had to use frozen berries.
Put them in the freezer for a few hours and out comes a super fun and healthy summer treat!
* Word of Caution* If you have a dog like Leroy who has absolutely no manners, you might want to skip using a popsicle mold that has a stick and just freeze some of the mixture in a plastic bowl or you might wind up fighting your dog to a near death for the popsicle stick.

Hahaha! I would definitely have to fight for the stick. Bentley throws any treat that is right out of freezer back up, so I have to freeze them and then set them in the fridge for a few hours. It never used to bother him. A vet on the BlogPaws Twitter chat recommended letting it warm a bit and it works great. Leroy looks like a big kid with his pupsicle!

I just got a big jar of coconut oil and was going to Google how to share it with my dogs. Thanks for the wonderful summertime treat idea. I think we will skip the sticks though. One of my dogs thinks she is a beaver.

I think Mom needs to buy coconut oil. We make them but she uses honey or real maple syrup for flavor. Coconut sounds real good.
Emma recently posted…K9 Kamp In Our Backyard

if you don't have coconut oil would olive oil be ok instead?

I like your method of measuring! Those sound really yummy. I should have added coconut oil to the ones I made over the 4th.

My yellowish tinged teeth make me self-conscious enough to research a remedy for whitening in order to make my smile dazzle. As I have aged, the enamel on my teeth has become thinner and more transparent, and the inner layer, called dentin, looks darker. My teeth have also absorbed colored liquids from the coffee, tea and red wine that I drink. Thank goodness I do not smoke because that would make then worse than they are.
In my research, here is what I found out. Peroxide is the key ingredient in most whiteners. This safe-for-the-mouth bleaching agent forms bubbles on enamel that lift away stains. The higher the concentration of peroxide and the longer you leave it on your teeth, the whiter they'll get. Teeth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and gums. Individuals with yellow tones to their teeth respond best. Many teeth whitening systems and products are available, including whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter gels, rinses, strips, trays, and whitening products obtained from a dentist.
Of all the products available, I have tried several. The whitening strips made my teeth hurt! They felt sensitive for a couple of days afterwards and I did not see enough results to outweigh the sensitiveness. Next I tried Crest Mouthwash and did not notice any results. When I mentioned this to my dentist he informed me that rinses do not stay in contact with the teeth long enough to make a difference. Okay, now I use the rinse as a mouthwash for fresh breath. So what works for me?
I have found the best teeth whitening product to be a tube of simple toothpaste. I buy Arm & Hammer Advance White toothpaste. The active ingredients are baking soda and peroxide and with my twice a day use, I see almost immediate results.
Arm & Hammer does not employ me to be their spokesperson, but as a Personal Improvement writer with Examiner.com, I want to pass on to the readership what works for me. A $3.50 investment gives me the confidence I need to smile.

Great Light Conditioner That Doesn't Weigh My Hair DownMy hair is super fine and I've tried lots of other volumizing shampoos.

Great! But Not For Frizzy Hair.Matrix Amplify XL volumizing shampoo and conditioner are pretty delicious! It made my hair pretty soft and EXTREMELY shiny! Like..really really shiny..I kept looking in the mirror at it, I was so impressed.
As for the volumizing, I don't know exactly how to think about it because I have short hair and it's wavy/kind of frizzy and the products made my hair very puffy. Which I guess is probably caused by whatever is in the products to help volumize. So I ended up straightening my hair to get rid of the puffiness. So I wouldn't reccomend this to someone with curly/frizzy hair but I'm sure it would work wonders for someone with naturally straight, limp hair!
Oh, and it smells pretty good too! And I could smell it all day long!Sep 9, 2010JoeyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

I Really Love It!Hi, I really love Matrix "Amplify"! I have always had baby fine hair. Getting a good shampoo that isint too heavy, but still moisturizes isint always easy. This shampoo is great it gives me lots of volume and shine. I also love the conditioner, it detangles and doesnt weight my hair down. I recently ran out of amplfiy and so did my salon, so I was forced to buy another volumizing product that wasnt nearly as good. I managed to get one more shampoo out of my empty bottles of Amplfiy, and it instantly made my hair act the way I want it to. I need more A.S.A.P!!Great product! Fully recommend it for fine hair. keep up the good work. its my new favorite!Sep 6, 2007Nicky Wolfe / Nanaimo,BC

This study examines the association between beliefs about God and psychiatric symptoms in the context of Evolutionary Threat Assessment System Theory, using data from the 2010 Baylor Religion Survey of US Adults (N = 1,426). Three beliefs about God were tested separately in ordinary least squares regression models to predict five classes of psychiatric symptoms: general anxiety, social anxiety, paranoia, obsession, and compulsion. Belief in a punitive God was positively associated with four psychiatric symptoms, while belief in a benevolent God was negatively associated with four psychiatric symptoms, controlling for demographic characteristics, religiousness, and strength of belief in God. Belief in a deistic God and one's overall belief in God were not significantly related to any psychiatric symptoms.

MARGARITA JIMENO is a filmmaker and artist.
In 2008 Margarita Jimeno debuted her feature music documentary film, Gogol Bordello Non-Stop at the Göteborg Film Festival and won several awards during its festival run, including Special Mention for the Sound and Vision Award at CPH:DOX (Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival). The film is distributed in North America by Kino-Lorber International, and in Russia by Maywin Films. Jimeno is an alumna of The School Of Visual Arts, Werner Herzog's Rogue Film School in Los Angeles, and the Berlinale Talent campus.
Born and part time raised in Bogotá, Colombia, Margarita moved to New York City in 1997. Her work reflects her passion for music, and the peculiarities of life, which tend to be absurd, and surrealistic.

The Jazz.com Blog
December 09, 2008 · 2 comments
Jazz.com is One Year Old Today
Today jazz.com celebrates its first birthday. And what a whirlwind year it has been! A team of more than 50 writers has published 3,662 track reviews, 277 blog entries, 101 interviews, 84 Dozens, and 180 new entries to our Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians. I get a twinge of carpal tunnel syndrome just thinking about it.
From the start, we aimed to do some things differently from the rest of the jazz media.
(1) We decided to review individual tracks instead of entire CDs, a move that makes more sense in this age of downloading, and also allows jazz.com's critics to be far more specific in evaluating the music;
(2) We have worked to integrate the content on the site—since the ability to move quickly through diverse material via links is one of the key advantages to Internet publishing;
(3) We have emphasized the visual arts, working to enlist the best talents we could find to participate in our endeavor;
(4) We have paid our writers (sad to say, a rarity in the world of jazz web media) since this is the only way to assemble the quality contributors and achieve the professional standards we have set for jazz.com;
(5) We put a greater emphasis on the heritage and history of jazz music than most other members of the jazz media, realizing that in this day and age there are many great CDs that didn't come out this month and many deserving artists who no longer grace the stage; and
(6) We have worked hard to create a community, giving visitors opportunity to comment and contribute, in the belief that the interactivity of the web will allow us to do things far beyond what is possible in print media.
We have been delighted by the feedback. With no marketing or PR, jazz.com has built a signficant audience. And site traffic continues to grow at a 10-15% compounded rate per month. I suppose this pace of increase will slow at some point, but it has actually been increasing in recent months. Needless to say, the whole team is encouraged by the response.
Here come a long list of "Thank Yous," to the many individuals who have helped in various ways during our pre-launch and first year of operations. I want to thank Frřy Aagre, S. Victor Aaron, Richard Abowitz, Scott Albin, Jim Allen, Ben Allison, Rob Bamberger, Bill Barnes, Sergio Bayona, Kenny Berger, Jerry Blank, Bob Blumenthal, Randy Brecker, Bobby Broom, Keith Henry Brown, Mike Brown, Meredith Bunche, Greg Campbell, Bill Carbone, Rick Carroll, Steve Carlton, Scott Carter, Suzanne Cerny, Martel Chapman, Zoie Clift, Stanley Crouch, Marjorie Crusca, Thomas Cunniffe, John DeCarlo, Marissa Dodge, Jonathan Dryden, Peter Erskine, Brad Farberman, Marcel Fleiss, Roanna Forman, David Franklin, Will Friedwald, Gary Giddins, Tom Greenland, Steve Greenlee, Danny Greenspun, Ratzo B. Harris, Bill Harrison, Scott Homewood, Ron Hudson, Vijay Iyer, Todd Jenkins, Andy Karp, Dave Kaufman, Chris Kelsey, Bill Kirchner, Jos L. Knaepen, Tami L. Kowalkowsky, Walter Kolosky, Dave Krikorian, Karen Kucharski, Alan Kurtz, Doris Kushner, Ed Leimbacher, Matt Leskovic, Mark Lomanno, Tom Lord, Joe Lovano, Brian Lynch, Howard Mandel, Andrea Mann, Greg Marchand, Eugene Marlow, Ashley Matsui, Matt Miller, Ralph A. Miriello, Jason Moran, Darren Mueller, Frank Murphy, Marc Myers, Stuart Nicholson, Eric Novod, Galen O'Hanlon, Eric B. Olsen, Chad Oslund, Ted Panken, Jared Pauley, Tomas Peńa, Joe Petrucelli, Dr. Lewis Porter, Cliff Preiss, Don Pulver, Thierry Quénum, Eric Reed, Sue Russell, David Sager, Mark Saleski, Judith Schlesinger, Loren Schoenberg, Makkada B.

(Phew! . . . I hope I didn't leave anyone out.) And a special thanks to the jazz fans who visit our site regularly and comprise our growing on-line community.
But year one is just a starting point, and only baby steps. On to "Giant Steps"!

|New Gold Bull Market Cycle Has Started
By Chris Vermeulen JAN 13, 2014 11:15 AM
With gold, gold stocks, and precious metals about to start a new bull market, it is time to get back to trading gold and gold stocks.
Gold Market Traders and Manipulators Provide Contrarian Bullish OutlookGold market traders and manipulators, like some of the commercial banks/brokerage firms, have been verbally slamming gold, and it turns out many are not as negative as they would lead us to believe.
Weekly CRB Commodity Index – Bull Market Cycle About to StartTaking a quick look at the CB index, which is a basket of commodities, it looks as though a breakout above its down trend line will trigger a new bull market in the commodity sector.

Last year, the legendary Japanese company hit it big with its flagship Android smartphone releases Sony Xperia Z, Sony Xperia Z1, and Sony Xperia Z Ultra. These devices were so good that they practically set the standard by which we judge the design, performance, and imaging capabilities of today's Android handsets -- regardless of brand.
Last February 24, 2014 - at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain - Sony formally introduced the Sony Xperia Z2, the official 2014 follow-up to the company's highly successful flagship line.
"With Sony Xperia Z2 we have taken our premium Z series to the next level, delivering unique experiences that only Sony can offer," shared Mr. Kunimasa Suzuki, President and CEO of Sony Mobile Communications.
"We have redefined the smartphone once again through our camera. Xperia Z2 offers an innovative experience that captures memories in stunning detail through 4K video shooting, or offers new ways to use the camera with our unique Xperia camera apps. Furthermore, the Best of Sony has been delivered in the sound quality and customers are now able to listen to their music even in noisy environments without interruptions thanks to our acclaimed digital noise cancelling technology."
Obviously, SXZ2 looks almost identical to its predecessor - having the same glass-metal-glass sandwich Omnibalance design identity and Dust-and-Water-Proof construction - but it does come replete with several improvements both on the outside and inside the shell. For one, not only will you get a larger 5.2-inch Full HD Triluminos Display with superior viewing angles - thanks to IPS screen technology - but you'll also have the bigger 3,200 mAh battery pack delivering an extended uptime.
Users will get practically the same 20.7 MegaPixel autofocus camera with LED flash (with 1/2.3-type Exmor RS for mobile CMOS image sensor, Sony's award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ) that's on the Z1 but they'll now enjoy the new enhanced video mode, which captures memories in stunning detail in 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels at 30 frames per second) at four times the detail of Full HD, delivering the world's best camera and camcorder in a waterproof smartphone. Plus, SteadyShot image stabilisation technology ensures your footage will stay smooth even if you are walking. The new Movie Creator allows you to trim and crop your videos so that you can easily pick out what you want to share. Insert dramatic slowdown effects at one or more places on the timeline of the video, then preview the results before you save and share your video.
As for the innards, the flagship phone runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system out of the box skinned by the latest version of Sony's Xperia UI with its Quad Core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU based Qualcomm MSM8974AB Snapdragon 801 SoC, handles multitasking with 3GB of RAM, and has 16 GB of ROM that can be expanded via microSD card slot supporting up to 64 GB. These internal specifications combine to give Sony Xperia Z2 an Antutu Benchmark Score of 33,329, which merely reflects the fact that this handset is truly one of the most powerful Android devices out there.
Of course, just like any other Xperia smartphone, Sony Xperia Z2 features top-notch multimedia and gaming services that are unique to the Japanese company's handsets. These include the following:
- "What's New" app helps you discover new and recommended movies, music, games and apps for enjoyment on your Sony Xperia Z2 – all accessible from an informative and interactive widget on the home screen.
- "WALKMAN" and Movies applications provide access to a global catalogue of more than 25 million songs on the "WALKMAN" app through the Music Unlimited service and tens of thousands of movies and TV series on the Movies app through the Video Unlimited service from Sony Entertainment Network.
- PlayStation App gives you the chance to enjoy an enhanced gaming experience – keeping you connected to your gaming friends and the games you love to play.
- PlayMemories Online – a cloud-based image and video service that is integrated into the Album application. A new 'All Sync' feature enables users to instantly auto-upload all of their photos without storage limitation to enjoy on all your devices.
- TrackID TV- enhances your TV-viewing experience as it lets you search, share and explore information from broadcasted TV shows such as cast & crew, biographies, filmography or show related Tweets.
Update as of March 7, 2014: We've just been informed by a reliable source that SXZ2 will don an official SRP of Php 33,990 when it lands in the Philippines next month, April 2014.
Update as of June 2, 2014: Sony Xperia Z2 is now officially available in the Philippines. You can get it at all Sony Stores and authorized retailers nationwide.
What do Pinoy consumers think about Z2? Last February 26, 2014, I asked my TP Friends on Facebook and Twitter what they think about Sony's new flagship smartphone. Here are some of the top responses:
Mic Jam shared, "I like the design: It's slimmer but still water-proof. [I also like] the new IPS screen, which improves the viewing angles, the camera, which can now shoot 4k video, and of course, the stereo speaker that can rival HTC's Boomsound."
Francis Michael Velasco Depalco said, "It's Sony, so there's no question about [its quality]. Besides awesome specs, the premium executive look is always a plus against other leading brands. Xperia user for 3 years now."
According to Noel David, "Sony Xperia Z2's design is almost the same as the previous flagship, Z1. They added only few changes to "patch" the issues of the previous flagship which is already a great phone. They changed from TFT display to IPS, they put additional power by adding RAM (3GB) and increasing its processor's clock speed (2.3Ghz). They increased the battery capacity (3,200mAh from 3,000 mAh). And also they removed the Anti-Shatter Film that many users complain about because it gets scratched easily. As of now, I can say Sony Xperia Z2 will be one of the best smartphones upon its release."
Finally, quoting Pat Mark R. Evangelista, "Sony Xperia Z2 is definitely [a clear upgrade] to last year's Xperia Z1. Viewing angles on the phone is improved, thanks to the newly adopted IPS technology. This phone is first to [get the freshly released] Snapdragon 801 chipset, which promises an improvement on imaging and decoding department plus speed improvements than that of the Snapdragon 800 series. Sony UI, formerly known as TimeScape UI, had its relatively minor overhaul. The notifications panel now has quick settings tab to separate the notifications from the settings toggles, which is not present in the previous Sony smartphones. This phone ships with the most recent version of Android, Android 4.4.2 KitKat which delivers a very smooth experience. Overall, Sony Xperia Z2 is just like the Sony Xperia Z1 with some minor improvements both on the hardware and on the software side."

Baseball Salvages Series Split With 4-2 Victory Over UW-Milwaukee
May 18, 2003
Chicago, Ill. - Juniors Brad Ryan and J.P. Moran went a combined 6-for-8 with three RBI and two runs scored to help lead the University of Illinois at Chicago to the 4-2 Horizon League victory over UW-Milwaukee at Les Miller Field on Sunday afternoon.
Ryan went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, while Moran was 3-for-4 with a RBI and a run to pace the UIC offensive attack.
With the victory, UIC improves to 35-16 overall and 15-6 in Horizon League action, while the Panthers drop to 25-23 on the campaign and 13-10 in league play.
Sophomore pitcher Charlie Hahn tossed 1.1 innings of hitless relief to pick up his third victory of the season, while sophomore left-hander David Haehnel allowed one run in two innings to pick up his Horizon League leading ninth save of the season. UWM starter Aaron Bushong (2-9) was tagged with the loss, giving up three runs and 11 hits in 6.1 innings.
UIC got on the board in the first inning as junior outfielder J.P. Carey roped a one-out single and stole second base. Carey moved over to third on an infield single by Moran. Ryan stepped to the plate and connected for an opposite-field RBI single to give the Flames the 1-0 advantage.
The Panthers evened things up in the top of the third as third baseman Ben Stanczyk plated shortstop Steve Sanfilippo from third base with a RBI double to knot the game at 1-apiece.
UWM used some stellar defense in the bottom of the third inning as UWM left fielder Sam Jansen robbed Ryan of a three-run homer, scaling the wall to come up with a spectacular catch, ending the frame.
The Flames countered with some defense of their own as Carey threw out designated hitter David Michna at the plate on a single by Jansen to keep the score tied at one in the top of the sixth inning.
UIC took the lead in the bottom of the sixth as Ryan led off the inning with a single and moved over to second base on a sacrifice bunt by senior catcher Kevin Nelson. Ryan advanced to third on a fly out by junior shortstop Jordan DeVoir and scored on a RBI single by Moran, giving the Flames the 2-1 lead.
The Flames added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the seventh inning as Hughes opened the inning with a single up the middle and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Carey.
Moran plated Hughes with his third single of the afternoon extending UIC's advantage to 3-1. Moran advanced to second on UWM centerfielder Troy Doering's throw to the plate and scored on a RBI single by Ryan to put the game out of reach for the Panthers.
UWM catcher Jeff Pitrof added a two-out solo homer in the top of the ninth, but that was all the Panthers could muster.
UIC will travel to Dayton, Ohio on Thursday afternoon and will play the winner of the Wright State/Cleveland State play-in game in the opening round of the Horizon League Baseball Tournament.

The question:
Let $F:\mbox{Ab} \to \mbox{Ab}$ be an additive functor; if $f$ is a zero homomorphism, then so is $F(f)$; if $A$ is the zero group, then so is $F(A)$.
This boils down to showing that, for an additive functor $F(0)=0$. Obviously this is true, but my category theory is very basic, and I can't quite yet get a handle on what is allowed.
Is it simply just the case that
$$F(f+g)=F(f)+f(g) \implies F(0) = F(f+(-f))=F(f)+F(-f)=F(f)-F(f)=0?$$

This is a recipe book, written by me, a 13 year old, who's a little wacky, because I have Asperger's. I also have a website, www.autbook.com, with healthyish recipes, which i might collate into another cookbook. I might also do a sugar free/low gi/gluten free book ( actually one of the recipes in this book is gluten free, sugar free and low gi anyway! ) Since I'm under 18, the profits on this book will go to my parents, probably to put towards another book.
