Why I Think Ditching Embargoes Was a Good Move by eLife
A new, open-access journal called eLife released its "media policy" earlier this week – including a promise to not issue embargoed news releases and language encouraging researchers to make their accepted manuscripts available to the public in advance of publication. I think this is a good move. As I read the eLife policy, the look on my face must have gone from neutral, to guarded optimism, to enthusiasm – then back to guarded optimism as I re-read the policy to... Read more

Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Estie High-Heel Sandal:
Normally, I wear a 9 or 9.5 shoe, but had to go down to 8.5 because my toes are so short. The only thing to fit in this shoe was the ankle strap & the placement of the strap over the toes, so once I figured that out, it was all good. I almost bought them online but decided to go to the BCBG store and try them on. Happy to have done that and now they are my favourites!

Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Estie High-Heel Sandal:
These heels are impossible. The metal cuffs on the sandal literally cut into my ankle. The front of my ankle and the outsides of my ankle rubbed against the cuff all night long and broke skin because the cuff is so big and so unforgiving. They're gorgeous and get lots of compliments but I definitely don't recommend at all.

College Hockey:Wildcats Even Series With Buckeyes
Stewart Stops Penalty Shot Late In Third
MARQUETTE, Mich. — "Let the past remain in the past."
That's what the Ohio State Buckeyes said as they entered the first round of the CCHA playoffs. After falling to the Northern Michigan Wildcats after holding a one game lead in Columbus during last year's playoffs, they came up to Marquette with a vengeance and won Fridays game 4-3.
However, the past decided to show itself again as the Wildcats took an early lead and held on for a 4-2 win, mirroring the pattern of last season's playoffs.
"Ohio State is definitely a team that can hurt us and we had to come out and just play our game," Wildcats' junior Nick Sirota said. "We had a good game yesterday, but the bounces just didn't go our way and today they just happened to and we're already looking forward to tomorrow's match up. It's going to be the same type of game and we're just going to have to take it from there."
The first period kicked off three minutes in with a goal for Northern. Alan Dorich shot the puck from the blue line, and after Buckeyes' goalie Joseph Palmer blocked it with his glove, the puck went behind the net where the Wildcats' Jared Brown passed it forward to Sirota, who put the puck in the five hole.
"That was definitely a confidence booster for them and gave them some momentum," said Ohio States Jason DeSantis, who had two points on the night. "A goal at the end of a period isn't something that we want, but it was an unlucky bounce."
Unwilling to step down, the Buckeyes retaliated with a goal at 7:03 from Kyle Reed, Tommy Goebel, and DeSantis, who shot the puck from the point, putting it behind Wildcats' goalie Brian Stewart's right side.
"I was nervous at the start because I had a rough game last night," Stewart said. "I came into this game and had to get my game back on track. They scored on the second shot of the night. It was a slap shot from the point and there was a half screen. I was a little riled about that but I had to fight my way through it."
The Wildcats took their lead back at 1:28 of the second. The goal, from Phil Fox, Matt Butcher and Ray Kaunisto, was a wrist shot by Fox that went low stick side.
The same spot gave the 'Cats their two goal lead at 19:59 when Sirota and Erik Gustafsson helped Mark Olver push the puck through unreal traffic in front of the net on a power play.
6:18 in the third, the 'Cats bumped up their lead to 4-1. The goal, from Sirota, Siddall, and Gustafsson, hit two Buckeyes' defensemen before making it into the net.
"We got some goals from some very key guys," Wildcats' coach Walt Kyle said. "Sirota was great when we needed him to be great. Siddall and Gustafsson were outstanding. Butcher was outstanding. Greger Hanson was outstanding tonight. Stewart was solid. He made some great saves tonight and he pulled off the penalty shot. We believe in him and we know what hes capable of."
"Our defense has done really well the last few months since we all started playing better," Stewart said. "We're stepping up, clearing rebounds and it's a huge help. We have to keep the same intensity and we cannot hold back. We have to keep on pounding, keep on going, and not give up. No mental errors and keep the momentum going."
"Honestly, we've played the same the last two nights," Sirota said. "We lose tomorrow and we're out and we know that. I don't doubt this team's effort. This effort is here every night. It's just a matter of getting the puck to the net and playing a strong game."
At 18:05, Ohio State's Nick Biondo took a penalty shot after Dorich tripped him heading to the net. Stewart had the save.
"That was my first penalty shot I've ever had in a game," Stewart said. "It was cool. All our guys take about 20 penalty shots on me each every day in practice so I just came out and challenged and just shut down the five hole."
At 19:45, after pulling their goalie, Ohio State's Kyle Reed pulled the Buckeyes within two with the help of DeSantis and Kyle Hood. Despite their late effort, the game ended 4-2 for the Wildcats with even shots on goal.
"We're going to have our hands full tomorrow," Kyle said. "We can't get too high or too low. They're a very good team and it's a very even series.
"Our defense has done really well the last few months since we all started playing better," said Stewart. "We're stepping up, clearing rebounds and it's a huge help. We have to keep the same intensity and we cannot hold back. We have to keep on pounding, keep on going, and not give up. No mental errors and keep the momentum going.
"It's the same thing that happened last year and we have to take a different approach than we did then and try to regroup and come back tomorrow," DeSantis said.

More pit firing info →
Featured Artist - Satoko Barash.
Soda/Salt kiln at my home
Salt firing dates back to mid-fourteenth century Germany when salt-impregnated wood was used for firing, taken from barrels formerly used for storing salt herring. An attractive natural glaze forms when salt or soda chemically interacts with the clay at high temperature. The result is a combination of a subtle salt glazing in the front of the kiln and more dramatic soda surfaces in the back of the kiln
Each firing is different and each piece is one of a kind. I love the surface created by the vapor dancing through the kiln and around the pots.

|Head Coach
|Other Position:
|2-time Big Ten Coach of the Year
|Kentland, Ind.
|Alma Mater:
|Miami (Ohio)
|2 Years
Introductory Press Conference: Infographic | Quotes | Video | Photos | A Look Inside The Hiring Process
Tracy Smith, hired as the fifth head baseball coach in program history on June 24, 2014, led the Sun Devils to a postseason berth, a third-place finish in the Pac-12 and 30-plus wins in his first season at ASU.
He became one of five active coaches, and one of eight all-time, to bring three different Div. I schools to NCAA Regional play as he guided the Sun Devils to a No. 2 seed in the Fullerton Regional in 2015.
He has amassed a 639-480-1 career record in 19 seasons as a head coach at three different schools, including nine seasons at both Miami (Ohio) and Indiana, and one year at Arizona State. His 639 victories rank in the top 50 among active coaches in the NCAA, and his 19 seasons represent the fourth-shortest number of years on the list.
Smith instituted a change in culture at Arizona State and his demand for excellence both on and off the field was represented as the Devils led the Pac-12 in both all-conference and all-academic honorees.
His emphasis on defense became evident right away as ASU vastly improved its fielding percentage and lowered its number of errors committed in Smith's first season. The Devils finished fourth in the Pac-12 in both categories in 2015 after ranking near the bottom of the conference from 2010-14.
An accomplished fundraiser, Smith played a huge role in helping transition the Sun Devil Baseball program into Phoenix Municipal Stadium. His vision saw a renovated clubhouse, complete with an alumni locker room and an academics center, as well as an increased prominence on the program's historical accomplishments. Smith also played a huge role in facility upgrades at both Indiana University and Miami (Ohio) and was instrumental in the approval and design of both Miami's Stanley G. McKie Field at Joseph P. Hayden Jr. Park and Indiana's Bart Kaufman Field.
Smith earned National Coach of the Year honors and was a unanimous choice for Big Ten Coach of the Year after he led IU to the school's only College World Series appearance in 2013. The following season in 2014, Smith led the Hoosiers to the No. 4 national seed in the NCAA Tournament, the first national seed in Big Ten baseball history.
"His accomplishments and accolades on the field speak for themselves, and his career has been defined by class, dignity and integrity," Anderson said. "He will be a great fit within the ASU family, our baseball community and our current student-athletes, and we can't wait for the new era of Sun Devil Baseball to begin under Tracy's guidance."
Smith came to Tempe with 18 years of experience as a collegiate head coach, including nine at Miami University (Ohio) and nine at IU, where he was two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year. He led both programs to a pair of NCAA Regional appearances and more than 600 combined career victories.
He tallied more than 40 wins in each of the past two seasons at IU and led the Hoosiers to consecutive Big Ten Conference Championships for the first time in school history. IU won the Big Ten regular season and B1G Tournament title in 2013, marking the school's first regular season conference championship since 1949 and the first outright crown since 1932, and advanced to the 2013 College World Series, which ended the Big Ten's 29-year CWS absence.
Smith took an IU program that had finished 10th in the Big Ten six times in an eight-year stretch between 2000 and 2007, and led the Hoosiers to an NCAA Regional in 2009 and to the College World Series in 2013. IU notched a program-best 21 conference wins in 2014 and secured eight first team All-Big Ten selections to tie a conference mark for most first team honorees from one school.
Smith has established a reputation of evaluating and developing talent as more than 50 student-athletes since 2000 improved their stock in the Major League Baseball Draft under Smith's tutelage, including four who became first-round draft picks after going undrafted out of high school.
In 19 total years as a head coach, Smith has seen 63 of his players selected in the MLB Draft, including 56 draftees since 2000 and 27 in the first 10 rounds. He has mentored 31 Major League Baseball draft picks over the past seven seasons, including the fourth overall pick in the 2014 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft (Kyle Schwarber) and three first-round selections in the 2009 MLB June Draft (Eric Arnett, Josh Phegley, Matt Bashore).
Smith's Academic Progress Rate as a head coach increased each season until it reached a perfect 1000 in two-year stretch between 2008-10.
IU saw eight players on 12 occasions be named All-Americans under Smith, including four in 2014, which was the highest total in program history and the second straight season that IU produced three or more All-Americans.
Smith mentored two Big Ten Players of the Year, three Big Ten Pitchers of the Year and a pair of Big Ten Freshman of the Year in nine seasons at IU, and at least one Hoosier earned Freshman All-America honors in six of the past seven seasons in Bloomington.
He has landed three players on the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team and mentored numerous players at all positions, including outfielder Alex Dickerson, who was named Big Ten Player of the Year and won the Big Ten Triple Crown in 2010, right-handed pitcher Aaron Slegers, who was named 2013 Big Ten Pitcher of the Year, and catcher Kyle Schwarber, who was named an All-American by five major college baseball groups in 2014.
In nine years at the helm of the RedHawks baseball program, Smith compiled eight straight 30-win seasons, two NCAA Regional appearances and advanced to the Mid-American Conference Tournament finals six times.
He began his coaching career as head coach at Miami University-Middletown in 1990, served as an assistant coach at Miami (Ohio) from 1993-94 and was the pitching coach at IU from 1995-96.
A four-year letterwinner at Miami (Ohio), Smith was a pitcher and an infielder for the RedHawks, and played three minor league seasons in the Chicago Cubs organization. He also participated in 1992 Major League Scouting Bureau's Professional Scout School as a representative of the Cubs.
Born Feb. 14, 1966, Smith graduated with a bachelor's degree in Education from Miami (Ohio) in 1989 and completed a master's degree in Sport Organization from Miami (Ohio) in 1992.
A native of Kentland, Ind., Smith and his wife, Jaime, have three sons, Casey, Ty and Jack. Casey was a four-year letterwinner on the Hoosier baseball team while Ty is a member for the IU football team. Jack is a senior at Mountain Pointe High School.

Hold on to your 401K, Obama wants it.
In the likely case Bachmann and Santorum do not last then who?
Newt Gingrich should go on The Mark levin show and clear the air.I lean to Gingrich yet Levin is cool to the idea of Newt 2012.My core beliefs are almost 100% Levin when it comes to liberty,stateism and conservative principles.His books are the texts of the modern American conservative philosophy.It is for all intents a two man race:Romney v Gingrich.Iowa could change everything or reafirm this point.I am not seeking Levin to endorse because he will not any time soon.I would feel better if the Great One made me reassured about Newt.
R.C Hammer, It does'nt matter if they are "Johnny on the spot" or "Johnny come lately" as long as all the Johnny's are thinking the same way right??? I myself will take the 4 E's anyday! However I like Rush, Mark and others who don't pull any punches when it comes to a debate.

Transcript of the live chat session that took place Thursday, February 27, 1997, noon to 1 PM. These sessions are scheduled for noon-1 PM US Eastern Time (GMT -4) every Thursday.
These sessions are hosted by Richard Seltzer. If you would like to receive email reminders of our chat sessions, simply send a blank email message to email@example.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/businessonthewebchats and sign up there.
For transcripts other previous sessions and a list of future topics, click here.
For an article on how to make "business chat" work (based on this experience), click here.
Since the chat itself happens at a rapid pace, it's often difficult to note interesting facts in particular URLs as they appear on-line. Here's a place to take a more leisurely look. I've rearranged some of the pieces to try to capture the various threads of discussion (which sometimes get lost in the rush of live chat).
Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and suggions for topics we should focus on in future sessions. So long as the volume of email responses is manageable, I'll post the most pertinent ones here for all to see.
Threads (reconstructed after the fact):
We're here to share experiences about doing business on the Internet particularly the World Wide Web. What works? What doesn't work? Why? What are the trends that matter? How can you/should you adapt to the Internet culture and environment?
I work for the Internet Business Group at Digital Equipment in Marlboro, MA. In that capacity, I end up talking to people from large companies about how they can use the Web for business.I also have my own personal Web page which is content rich and no frills which I do for practically nothing and draws a fair amount of traffic and attention.
In a chat session like this things can get pretty frantic. It's sometimes difficult to follow the threads of conversation. And there's no time to write down interesting URLs and facts. So each week, I take a copy of the raw transcript and edit it to make the threads clearer and post it at my own little Web site so anyone could takea look. You can see transcripts of previous sessions at http://www.samizdat.com/chat.html

Nathan Cornillon (email@example.com) 11:56am (22.214.171.124)Sure Richard. Our product is called CENTS (Customer EveNTs System). It includes a server, CSR, Administration, and customer piece.
Nathan Cornillon (email@example.com) 11:58am (188.8.131.52)What the system does is allow a web-site to give users the ability to request a chat with a CSR. For the CSR user communication we use Microsoft NetMeeting.
Richard Seltzer 11:58am (126.96.36.199)Nathan What is "CSR"? And am I correct in myconclusion that you include chat and forum in the package? Do you have any customer sites you could point us to to see it in action?
Nathan Cornillon (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:01pm (220.127.116.11)A CSR is a Customer Service Representative. (Sorry about that.) The customer sites we have right now are still in the development phase, and should be rolling out within the next month or so. (As I understand it. The web-development group is a seperate group.)Our solution doesn't provide a forum. It is more or an "800" number to customer service, help desk, sales, billing, and such.
Richard Seltzer 12:03pm (188.8.131.52)Nathan any plans to add chat/forum? Seems like a natural as a supplement and eventually a replacement for 800 numbers. Also, please send me email once you dohave customer sites to point to, and I'll add a note as followup in one of our transcripts.
Nathan Cornillon (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:04pm (22.214.171.124)We use Call to refer to the web-customer's request to talk to someone on-line. The Customer Service Reps (CSR) are placed in call groups. The calls are routed to the next available CSR who is able to handle the topic the customer is calling about.
Jim Lindenthal(email@example.com) 12:05pm (184.108.40.206)Nathan, How do you see your system working with inthe Sales Force or Marketing groups.
Nathan Cornillon (email@example.com) 12:07pm (184.108.40.206)Richard, we are not looking to add support for Forums. We also think it is a great idea, and Microsoft's Active Conferencing offers it. However, we don't feel it will replace the "800" type service. Instead we feel it will simply be an extra service.
Sudha(firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:09pm (220.127.116.11)Nathan, I missed the initial messages. Can you please explain what is the CSR. Is it a Web interface to route to current 800 numbers? Or does it provide asynchronous Customer support without live operators?
Nathan Cornillon (email@example.com) 12:09pm (22.214.171.124)Actually I come from Sales Kit Software, an SFA provider. We see our solution as another piece to the Total Customer Management solution. More business is moving on-line, but that doesn't diminish the desire for personal contact. Most people seem to still want the ability to easily get to a person who can help them with what they are doing now.
Richard Seltzer 12:11pm (126.96.36.199)Nathan, Forums for customer support mean that you only have to answer a question once then the info is available by search for all to get. Also, users as well as your experts can provide helpful tips (a la users group).Also, the customer doesn't have to waiton hold to get an answer and the company doesn't get stuck with monstrous 800 number bills for all those people lefton hold. I'd give it serious consideration. NB On-line customer service will become ever more important as on-line sales grow.
Nathan Cornillon (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:11pm (220.127.116.11)When the web-customer is routed to talk to the CSR (Customer Service Rep) on-line (using Microsoft NetMeeting), the call is automatically tracked. The customer and call information is stored in any ODBC SQL database (although we are designed to work with Microsoft SQL Server). Integration into other customer support systems and sales force automation (SFA) systems is fairly easy since we have an open architecture.
Richard Seltzer 12:29pm (126.96.36.199)Nathan You also might want to look into the value of making chat available to customer service reps who are on thephone. They can use chat in the background to pass questions/answers/info to one anotherquickly and quietly. (Digital's customer support folks in Colorado have done that for years.)
Nathan Cornillon (email@example.com) 12:32pm (18.104.22.168)Richard, that sounds like an excellent idea. Our system does allow the original Customer Service Rep (CSR) to include another CSR.
Nathan Cornillon (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:16pm (18.104.22.168)Jim, when I left the Sales Force Automation arena (about 8 months ago) a number of SFA vendors were looking at solutions allowing the Sales Force machines to use the net for sychronization. CENTS can feed the call reports into such a system.Richard - Microsoft Active Conferencing already seems to provide a lot of the Forum functions. The on-line FAQ is a great idea. Certainly our system could feed a database FAQ. We track issue and resolution (aside from other fields). Adding a web-page which references the database to build the FAQ is a great idea. Also, our systems does NOT transfer the call to the voice lines, it uses NetMeeting to do voice and video over the net. So clients don't have any charges for customers being on-hold (aside from customer frustration)
Elcom Systems Team 12:14pm (184.108.40.206)To feed information into your sales force you need to look at technologies which can distribute the necessary information to your sales force. Intranet/Internet is one solution however, dedicated windows client software on a CD could be a great solution. Coupled with real time transaction processing you would have a very powerful sales automation tool.
Nathan Cornillon (email@example.com) 12:18pm (126.96.36.199)Jim - SalesKit, Arrum, and Siebel are some SFA solutions you might want to look into for Internet Sychronization.
firstname.lastname@example.com 12:26pm -- (184.108.40.206)Nathan, I been doing sales force automation for the last 4 years. The product that I am most familiar with is Saratoga Systems SPS. I am in the process of trying to figure out the best way to integrate this new technology. What additional information can I give to the sales force that they don't currently have? Again, the bottom line is what will help them *sell*.into our current sales force.
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:14pm (184.108.40.206)Mari Ann, you might want to check out http://www.ichat.com for a chat solution
Richard Seltzer 12:07pm (220.127.116.11)Todd, Power tools for a retail store in Connecticut?Amazing. That's the kind of business that I thought the Internet wasn't yet ready for.Please tell us more. What do you do to attract users to your site? Have you done anything to create a community environment? Or are you driving business with extremely low prices on-line? Or do you have an extremely broad range of product choices on-line (a la Amazon.com with books)? Why do you think the public is buying?
Todd Mogren 12:15pm (188.8.131.52)We offer same day delivery and hopefully very low prices.
Richard Seltzer 12:18pm (220.127.116.11)Todd "Same day delivery" does that mean that you are catering to a local audience?What's the geographic reach of that delivery service? (Sounds a bit like Peapod with groceries). Do you chargeextra for delivery? And are your customers mostly individuals or companies?
Todd Mogren (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:23pm (18.104.22.168)I meant same day shipping. We ship the sameday the order is placed. To date most of our customers have been individuals.
Richard Seltzer 12:08pm (188.8.131.52)Todd Also, that 1000 orders what does that represent in terms of revenue? and how does that compare with the store's traditional sales level?
Todd Mogren 12:14pm (184.108.40.206)Revenue is now running at $30,000 per month.
Marcus 12:09pm (184.108.40.206)Todd, does your system handle order tracking, guaranteed delivery times, etc.? If so, how is it functioning for you?
Elcom Systems Team 12:09pm (184.108.40.206)Full Circle Electronic Commerce is the complete end to end technology solution which Elcom Systems can provide to any company looking to do electronic commerce over the internet or on private networks. We do this through our product called PECOS - Personal Electronic Catalog and Ordering System. Most of our customers are Business to Business except for Shoplink which is a home consumable - home delivery service. They were just featured in a recent issue of Business Week. So our technology has been implemented in several different environments including, computer resellers, ventilation, oil, home shopping, office supply industries.
Elcom Systems Team 12:10pm (22.214.171.124)The market is ready today for the PECOS technology. We are approaching over 1 Billion dollars in revenue transacted through our systems. Our web site is http://www.elcom.com if you would like more information.
Anonymous 12:14pm (18.104.22.168)Elcom, Is that $1 billion over the internet?
Elcom Systems Team 12:19pm (18.104.22.168)All of the revenue mentioned earlier, Billion+, is not all over the Internet. It is split up between the Windows Dedicated Multimedia Client and the JAVA - Browser based version of PECOS. As far as how we compare to others we are the only company out there today which can provide real time transaction procesing into a legacy system and at the same time have a multimedia catalog on the front end.
Richard Seltzer 12:20pm (22.214.171.124)Elcom -- Roughly how much of that $1 billion you referenced happens by direct dial-in and how much over the Internet? And is that ratio changing significantly?
Elcom Systems Team 12:22pm (18.104.22.168)Ratios are split up between the two as the Internet user base increases so does the usage.
Richard Seltzer 12:12pm (220.127.116.11)Elcom Are any of your customer sites visible to the public? URLs? Any stats and the volume of sales that some of your customers are realizing with this kind of solution?
Elcom Systems Team 12:17pm (188.8.131.52)You could look at one of our customers which is Catalink Direct! a reseller of computer products at http://www.catalink.com. There are literally thousands of transactions going through our PECOS Transaction Server System via the modem and the Internet every single day. In fact Catalink has grown from zero revenue to close to 700 million in a little over 3 years.
Sudha(firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:15pm (184.108.40.206)Elcom, I took a quick look at your site. You seem to have lots to offer. How do you compare your PECOS.net to other catalog products like Icat?
Richard Seltzer 12:15pm (220.127.116.11)Ira, For purposes of this discussion, we' re defining "electronic commerce" very broadly.We mean business use of the Internet toproduce sales whether business to business sales or business-to-consumer. I'd include and would like to see examples of on-line inventory status info and gift registry types of applications.Not just the on-line transaction.But more than just providing marketing information.
Ira Pasternack (email@example.com) 12:27pm (22.214.171.124)Richard, You say you are using a broad definition of EC. I also use a broad definition. I define EC as "any business activity that is conducted electronically".Specifically, this includes the exchange or delivery of information, not just activities related to marketing and sales. How do people feel about this definition? Is it similar to how you use the term?
Sudha(firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:10pm (22.214.171.124)Marcus, The Economist is one of my favorite sites. How do you see the impact of Electronic commerce for a publisher?
Marcus 12:13pm (22.214.171.124)EC will change the way we do business entirely. BTW, we have a better site at http://www.eiu.com which goes live this Saturday.
Richard Seltzer 12:13pm (22.214.171.124)Economist Is that The Economist? Are you connected from London?
Marcus 12:14pm (188.8.131.52)Most of our electronic publishing activity is done out of New York by the division called the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Sudha(email@example.com) 12:18pm (184.108.40.206)Marcus, I'll check eiu.com on Saturday. Is the Economist Intelligence Unit a central publishing group? How do you manage currency from there?
Marcus 12:19pm (184.108.40.206)Yes, we publish worldwide. How we handle currency is EXTREMELY complex and is has been one of the most difficult problems from the outset.
Sudha(email@example.com) 12:22pm (22.214.171.124)Marcus, That sounds very interesting. I think Economist is a true example of the web shrinking the globe. Are there any lessons you've learnt that you can share with us?
Marcus 12:25pm (184.108.40.206)Yes, that technology is not the answer. Business acumen in the areas of marketing, customer service, brand identity, and quality of product are still what will determine the success of a new venture.
Richard Seltzer 12:24pm (188.8.131.52)Marcus What's the difficulty with currency? Don't credit cards make that relatively easy?
Sudha(firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:26pm (22.214.171.124)Richard & Marcus: I thought Marcus reference to currency was about "maintaining content current"
Marcus 12:28pm (22.214.171.124)When mentioned currency I was referring to the complexity of accepting orders from foreign markets. Taxes, exchange rates, etc.
Richard Seltzer 12:39pm (220.127.116.11)Marcus When you speak of the challenges with regard to currency, taxes, etc. areyou talking about sales of subscriptions/information, or in a broaders sense? (I think that a new technology called Millicent, which allows transactions offractions of a penny, and which is inthe labs at Digital, could provide aninteresting alternative to subscriptionsfor the sale of information. You could charge, for instance, a tenth of a penny to see a page, which is relatively painless and simple.)
Marcus 12:43pm (18.104.22.168)I'm talking about sales of subscriptions to high-end (expensive) publications to places like Mongolia and Nigeria. We have a very peculiar business model. Our minimum subscription rate is $7,500.
InterWorld 12:19pm (220.127.116.11)Our site is http://www.interworld.com
Richard Seltzer 12:21pm (18.104.22.168)InterWorld Please tell me a bit about MicroWAREHOUSE. What do they sell? In what volume? and what do they do that's unique to attract and hold audience?
Sudha(email@example.com) 12:20pm (18.104.22.168)Interworld, What EC software and service do you provide?
InterWorld 12:26pm (184.108.40.206)InterWorld also does realtime links into legacy systems via APIs. InterWorld is a leading developer of object-oriented software solution designed to support high-performance, mission critical applications in a modular architecture. Product include a Catalog, Chat, Note, Auction, as well as an integrated development environment.
Elcom Systems Team 12:29pm (18.104.22.168)Interworld- What platforms do you support? What legacy systems have you integrated into? What skill set is required to do an api? Do you provide those services? What do they cost? What is the average implementation time?
InterWorld 12:31pm (188.8.131.52)MicroWarehouse sells PC products online. They are selling 20,000 product and managing them via 7-10 templates. They currently have 150,000 registered users and get about 350,000 hits a day Within the site the software dynamically generates the page to meet the user profile. Upsell and cross-sell suggestions are supported. And.. merchants can update their content remotely.
Richard Seltzer 12:35pm (220.127.116.11)InterWorld -- How do 150,000 registered users and 350,000 hits per day translate into revenue? Any sales stats? Many sites which sell, actually do a better job of marketing their goods, leading to increased sales in traditional stores. On-line sales aren't the only criterion of success for an electronic commerce operation. But it's good to get a sense of what volumes of on-line sales different kinds of companies are experiencing. What I'm hearing today seems far more advanced than what I had been reading in the press and experiencing first-hand.
InterWorld 12:40pm (22.214.171.124)Regarding MicroWAREHOUSE, we are not allowed to discuss their sales revenue. Currently they are generating millions of dollars in revenue per month. The online catalog revenue paid for the system in 6 months.
Tom Dadakis email@example.com 12:43pm (184.108.40.206)Interworld -- What is the url for microwarehouse?
InterWorld 12:17pm (184.108.40.206) MicroWAREHOUSE http://www.warehouse.com.
Todd Mogren (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:24pm (22.214.171.124)Scott, all of our customers have used credit cards except international customers who sometimes prefer wire transfer.
Richard Seltzer 12:26pm (184.108.40.206)Scott by "alternative currencies"do you mean things like CyberCash, etc.? I believe that they all eventually get translated to credit card transactions.
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:29pm (220.127.116.11)Richard, by "alternative currencies" I do mean things like Cybercash. You are correct, these transactions eventually end up as credit card transactions. With our products, it is not necessary to install wallet software or to set up a new merchant services account that interfaces with CyberCash. Our product points transactions towards ANY merchant services account, including the one you already have if you're currently have one.
Sudha(firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:34pm (184.108.40.206)Scott: Doesn't "Cybercents" belong to Outreach? Is it similar to Digicash?
Scott Rehling (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:41pm (188.8.131.52)Sudha, Yes, CyberCents is an Outreach Product. Digicash is quite different from CyberCents in that it requires a special bank account, a special credit card account, wallet software, et, etc. which is a major sales impediment. CyberCents, as do our all of our products, interfaces with existing bank accounts, merchant services accounts and does not require and special software on the client end.
Scott Rehling (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:42pm (184.108.40.206)Richard, CyberCents is a micro payment system (already on the market) which handles payments as small as a fraction of a penny.
firstname.lastname@example.com 12:42pm (22.214.171.124)Scott, Do you have a web site that we can find additonal information about CyberCents?
Scott Rehling (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:43pm (18.104.22.168)Outreach's website is at http://www.outreach.com for more information on MallManager, StoreManager, SaleManager and CyberCents.
Elcom Systems Team 12:43pm (18.104.22.168)How big is Cybercash?
Richard Seltzer 12:47pm (22.214.171.124)Scott Interesting. We discussed alternative money schemes in this chatsession a few months ago. Can you point me to a URL where I can learn more about CyberCents and how it works? Thanks.
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:48pm (126.96.36.199)CyberCents info: http://www.outreach.com
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:53pm (18.104.22.168)In reference to "alternative currencies" Our findings have been that it creates an impediment to the sales process because it is an extra step and a hassle for the consumer to deal with. It harms the potential "impulse buy". Also, I've seen figures that indicate that over 80% of the business done on line is currently done with a credit card. That makes sense, doesn't it? Most people who buy on line have purchased via phone with a credit card. When the ability exists to simply type in a credit card number to make a purchase, it feels a lot like ordering over the phone.
Rob Davidson 12:55pm (22.214.171.124)Scott...CyberCents sounds alot like a Merchant-run CyberCash environment..fair comparison??
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:57pm (22.214.171.124)Rob, sort of. CyberCents is actually a completely automated system. The software itself does reside on the merchant's web server. All the secure transactions and the real time CC authorization is done from our secure server. Point being there is very little administration necessary on the merchant end.
Sudha(email@example.com) 12:30pm (126.96.36.199)Elcom: about your jobs. Web-Net User group shares job leads in their mailing list of 500 members. You can send jobs to firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an interview during their monthly meeting at Cambridge.
Elcom Systems Team 12:30pm (126.96.36.199)Sudha - thanks for the tip
Dana 12:38pm (184.108.40.206)Todd, have you done much marketing of your site? If so, has it been a considerable reason for the success of your web business?
Sudha(email@example.com) 12:38pm (184.108.40.206)Dana: You have touched my favorite topic in EC and business on the web. What's the best way to market your site? I am fascinated by the fact that the web offers a new networking model for marketing sites. Many existing businesses try to treat the web as another ad medium; it's more than that. Just like the computer industry moved from a vertical model where one company owned the hardware, OS, software and Applications, the web is making a network model of alliances and partnerships.I would like to hear other's view on this?
Scott Rehling (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:27pm (126.96.36.199)Richard, it is completely true that hardware and software sales comprised a large percentage of the business done on line. And it is definitely taking off. Obviously, people buying on line are typically technically saavy folks who are using and buying technology related wares. We actually have numerous customers in other industries. I believe travel related offerings are the next largest sellers on line. We have customers selling everything from computers to Tupperware to electronic newletters on line.
Richard Seltzer 12:31pm (18.104.22.168)Scott I realize that there are companies trying to sell all kinds of goods over the Internet. What's more difficult to determine is what people are actually buying over the Internet.I'm trying to get a handle on what makes good business sense today. Do you haveany stats, for instance, on sales of Tupperware?
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:37pm (22.214.171.124)Richard, I've seen so many different figures- you're right, it's difficult to get a handle on reality. Any product that requires little customer service to sell makes good sense to sell on line. Of course, there are so many other factors such as the market you are targeting and whether or not that market is warm to the idea of "buying online". Right now the companies achieving signifigant success on line are predominantly technology related, travel related, game oriented, and adult. There are exceptions to this, which are typically a result of a creative and aggressive marketing campaign to promote the site.
Richard Seltzer 12:43pm (188.8.131.52)Scott -- As of a few months ago, my rough feel was that aside from computer-relatedproducts and products geared at a college audience, the most likely to succeed as Internet sales were high-ticket items like expensive homes and cars, where there area limited number of people in the worldwho might want to buy and all of those folks are likely to be on line, and where a single sale can be significant. I didn'tthink that ordinary consumer goods, that could be bought in stores easily would be likely to do well in today's Internet environment. Am I wrong? Please correctme. We need to keep recalibrating our assumptions.
Scott Rehling (firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:47pm (22.214.171.124)The feedback so far in reference to the attempt to sell high ticket items on line is not positive. Those types of purchases require a significant amount of buyer-seller interaction. However, websites do provide a good avenue for front end sales information and support. In terms of consumer items that can be bought in stores, I think folks who buy on line are interested in convenience and time saving issues. There is one thing everyone in this world has in common- we all have 24 hrs in a day. Those who succeed are typically those who can borrow some of those 24 hrs from someone else.
Mari-Ann 12:51pm (18.104.22.168 )Is there a record of what types or products sell best on the Internet? What products do not?
InterWorld 12:54pm (18.104.22.168)Mari-ann Our clients are selling both hard goods as well a digital assets such as software, reports. They can also sell video and movies. FYI We are approved for the sale of Microsoft brand products over the internet.
firstname.lastname@example.com 12:53pm (220.127.116.11)Mari-Ann, I read an article in Investor's Business Daily about Jeff Bezos president of amazon.com. He look at a numberof markets and found that books sell best. I think he was right.
email@example.com 12:55pm (220.127.116.11)In addition, the Internet allows amazon.com to stockover 1.1 million titles in contrast to a large bookstore that stocks 170,000 titles.
Dana 12:49pm (126.96.36.199)Anything can be sold online with the right marketing campaign. It's just a matter of changing the customer's perception. Just like the Home Shopping Network had to do.
Richard Seltzer 12:52pm (22.214.171.124)Dana How is the Home Shopping Network doing? A couple years ago, I referred tothem often as a booming success (sold after4-1/2 months for $4-1/2 million). ButI haven't heard anything about them fora long time. Does anyone have a sense of whether they continue to be successful,and if not why not, and if successful what their annual revenues are running?
Nancy 12:54pm (184.108.40.206)Richard It seems to me that medium priced products aimed at higher income folks are where the online sales are busiest. For example, the successful amazon.com book sales. And the much celebrated Virtual Vineyards business. Online flower sales. Seems to me there is a good online market for gift and entertainment type products.
Dana12:55pm (184.108.40.206)Mari Ann, Forrester Research recently reported that revenue from online retailing will rise to $7 billion. 75% of that will be spent on goods such as apparel, gifts, food, entertainment products and computer equipment.
Sudha(email@example.com) 12:56pm (220.127.116.11)Mari-Ann and Jim: Amazon.com is surely selling books on the net. But, I think software and CDs are things that sell best on the web. Check http://www.cdnow.com They were in Inc Magazine last year for the best example of a company that has made money over the net.
Sudha(firstname.lastname@example.com) 12:57pm (188.8.131.52)Jim: Amazon can stock even more because their real advantage is that they don't keep real inventory.
email@example.com 12:59pm (188.8.131.52)Su, Amazing. No need for warehouse storage expenses. Do they ship the books directly from the publisher?
Warren Agin - Law Solutions 1:02pm (184.108.40.206)See everyone later. By the way, I set up an Amazon associates bookstore to sell bankruptcy law related books and sold about $80 worth the first three weeks. That generated about $7 is revenue for me. Makes it more of a public service than anything else.
Richard Seltzer 1:00pm (188.8.131.52)All -- for me the puzzle still remains what is the role of on-line communities in fostering on-line commerce? What business models can work for the little guys? e.g., in a world where an amazon.com can sell every book in the world, where is the niche for the bookstore with an on-linepresence? And the same applies inother fields as well will the Internet be successful for just one or two companies per field (like book sales)? Or can communities provide a business model that lets many thrive?
Elcom Systems Team 1:01pm (126.96.36.199)Good questions, Richard, but is there anyone who can really answer them? Is it too early in the game?
Scott Rehling (email@example.com) 12:55pm (220.127.116.11)Sudha, we are in Silicon Hills (Austin, TX) Where are you?

I sent this to I-Sales a few months ago, as I was attempting to understand different Internet business models in an attempt to clarify a model for myself. I'm submitting it to you in case you want to post it at the end of a transcript...hopefully, it might catalyze some worthwhile discussion. I'm still trying to understand the different possible models, and which work best for which purposes...
I'd like here to summarize my rudimentary understanding of different approaches to Net marketing and sales, and receive some input from others to further elucidate these and perhaps add others. (It would also be interesting to speculate on which approaches are most successful for which kinds of businesses and audiences...)

Losing outside linebacker Jonathan Casillas to a season-ending foot injury last week was certainly a blow to the New Orleans Saints' defense. The second-year pro had been a standout playmaker this summer, earning a starting job on the weak side.
But it should be a smooth transition to "Plan B" for the Saints - or more precisely, a smooth transition back to "Plan A."
Third-year pro Jo-Lonn Dunbar began the summer as the Saints' starting strong-side linebacker, where he will likely return for Thursday night's season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Veteran starter Scott Shanle will likely switch back to his natural position on the weak side.
"I've been here for three years and I've played all three linebacker positions," said Dunbar, who has started five games as an injury replacement in his young career and said he is "absolutely" comfortable with jumping back in to the starting lineup. "I'm kind of one of those guys, I'm ready to come in at any position at any moment."
Shanle spoke highly of Dunbar on Sunday, saying he has "a lot of faith and trust" in the former undrafted free agent from Boston College. Shanle also praised the versatility of the Saints' linebacking corps in general, saying, "The good thing about our room is that all of our linebackers can play either side."
Depending on the health status of middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma, the Saints might also need to turn to longtime backup Marvin Mitchell, who started two games last year and has been a mainstay on special teams throughout his first three seasons.
The Saints' linebacking corps has certainly been thinned out this year, with veteran starter Scott Fujita leaving in free agency and newcomer Clint Ingram being unable to recover from offseason knee surgery before Casillas went down.
But Vilma said he still has no concerns about the team's depth at the position.
"Not at all, not at all," Vilma said. "Casillas was gonna be our starter and he's a very good player. But I don't think we have a lack of depth. You look at Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Marvin Mitchell, Anthony Waters. These are guys that have not only played, but they've played well for us."
It's also worth noting that undrafted rookie defensive end Junior Galette said he expects to spend some time as an outside linebacker - likely in pass-rushing situations.

Heroes + Misfits is Kris Bowers' ambitious debut recording for Concord Jazz Records. The recording spotlights the award-winning pianist as the leader of a very talented sextet which consists of alto saxophonist Casey Benjamin, tenor saxophonist Kenneth Whalum III, guitarist Adam Agati, bassist Burniss Earl Travis II, and drummer Jamire Williams. Guest vocalists Julia Easterlin, Jose James and Chris Turner also lend their creativity on four of the album's 10 tracks.
All of the songs heard on Heroes + Misfits were composed by Kris Bowers with the exception of "Wake the Neighbors," "Forget-er," and "Ways of Light." Bowers collaborated with Adam Agati, Julie Easterlin and Jose James on those three songs and also employed Jeremie Harris to provide poetry for four other songs. Bowers' compositional integrity shines throughout this exemplary album. He seems to internalize rhythm and melody so as not to disassociate the two at a deeper musical level. The phrasing, articulation, inflections and accents during the musician's solos reveals that Bowers' compositions are vibrant vehicles for their artful improvisation.
There is no confusion between culture and achievement as Bowers clearly has a master's knowledge of his art, classical music, and early jazz which was acquired from parental influences and his inherent talent straight through his graduate studies at Julliard and private studies with such great jazz pianists as Eric Reed, Fred Hersch, Frank Kimbrough and Kenny Barron.
While listening to the album, you dear listener, will experience his mastery on the opening track titled "Forever Spring." Although penned as a brief interlude, this beauty is a sure example of his artistic qualities as a classical pianist. From there he launches into "Wake the Neighbors" a jazz/rock piece that showcases Adam Agati's guitar chops and Bowers' justified skills on the synthesizer. The remaining songs prove that Heroes+Misfits is an inspired work of art that swings, grooves, and gives off warmth, personality and most of all, great jazz performances.

Let $i$ be the height at which you leave the line $x=i$ to the right. That is, first you travel from $(0,M)$ to $(N-P,i)$, then to go to $(N-P+1,i)$ and then travel from there to $(N,0)$. There are $N+M-P-i\choose i$ possibiliteis for the first part and $P-1+i\choose i$ possibilities for the last part. Adding up, we find $$ \sum_{i=0}^{M-K}{N+M-P-i\choose i}{P-1+i\choose i}$$

The Bribe Diet
The mayor of Varallo Italy is paying residents who lose weight. Reuters reports:
Men living in the northwestern Italian town of Varallo will receive 50 euros ($70) for losing 4 kg (9 pounds) in a month, Mayor Gianluca Buonanno said. Women will get the same amount for shedding 3 kg (7 pounds).
If they can keep the weight off for 5 months, they will get another 200 euros ($280), he told Reuters.
"Lots of people are saying, 'I really need to lose some weight but it's really tough.' So I thought, why don't we go on a group diet?" said Buonanno, who said he was about 6 kg (13 pounds) overweight.

When a pastor gives service to the same church for 38 years, they leave a legacy, and usually really big shoes to fill.
Macedonia Baptist Church, was blessed for 38 years of faithful service by Joseph C. Ray. Recently, Ray turned ill and was forced to retire due to his declining health.
Recently though, Macedonia Baptist has received a new type of light in the form of Anthony L. Stevenson.
I had several comments on last week's article about how the grandchildren remind me and others of me.
I appreciate the kind words and also appreciate that someone reads this. I am thankful for the ability to be around them to know what they are doing.
Several things of note happened that I want to comment on this week.
First thing is Stephen Moses and Lee Kendall being selected to the 10th Region Basketball Hall of Fame. Moses was the best shooter that I have seen in the past 35 years of watching Harrison County basketball.
Some want to be doctors or lawyers when they are young, but Warren French knew at an early age that he was destined to do something much more divine.
Barely a month ago, Connersville Christian Church put an end to a vacancy that had the church without a senior minister.
To fill the position, the Lord sent an Ashland, Ky., native to once again lift the spirits of the growing country church.
Cheerleading is difficult to explain.
An informal Christian Home Fellowship meets the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 6-8 p.m. for more information call Janet at 859-954-1145.
Cynthiana NA Group Hope for Tomorrow meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 6 p.m. at St. James AME Church, 312 W. Pleasant St. Annex. Speaker meeting last Thursday of each month.
For more information or questions call Blaine at 859-298-1171.
Kendall, Letcher, Moses in 2011 10th Region Basketball Hall of Fame Class
Three of the most outstanding local basketball figures in the area were named to this year's hall of fame class in the 10th region. Dr. Stephen Moses of Harrison County, Lee Kendall of Harrison County and Greg Letcher of Nicholas County are three of the newest members of this prestigious hall.
The other day I read an article written by Sharon Miller, a woman who stopped wearing makeup "as an act of Christian discipleship."
She was getting ready to go shopping with her in-laws and as she went through her usual morning routine of blow-drying her hair and picking out an outfit, she decided to go to the mall sans makeup.
She said she had been inspired by a book, "Dance of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Women's Spirituality," by Maria Harris.
THURSDAY, Feb. 24
Historical Book for the month of February will be 1776 by David McCullough. This group is open to any adult who enjoys reading and discussing history. Will meet Thursday, Feb. 24 at 5:30 p.m. Copies of the book are available at the front desk of the Cynthiana-Harrison County Public Library.
FRIDAY, Feb. 25
Bookmobile. The Cynthiana-Harrison County Public Library Bookmobile will be available Friday, Feb. 25 at New Beginnings at 10:30 a.m.; Our Little Miracles 11:15 a.m.; Robynwood Heights 2 p.m.
MONDAY, Feb. 28
Friday night it was the Thorobreds winning with just less than two seconds left in the game and Saturday night the Fillies hit the winning basket with 10 seconds left to end the regular season on a high note.
The Thorobreds evened their record to 14-14 going into the 38th District Tournament Friday night when senior guard Eric Sanders hit a driving lay up with 1.6 seconds on the clock to give the Breds a 68-66 win over Montgomery County.
Wrestlers participating in the 2011 Kentucky Youth State Wrestling Tournament held at the Frankfort Convention Center on Sunday, Feb. 20 are: from left, Brent Hudgins, state participant in the 9-10 year old, 65-lb Division, Brady Henderson, fourth place in 9-10 year old, 60-lb Division, and Tyler Hudgins, State Champion in the 7-8 year old, 70-lb Division.

There's just a few more things to tick off on the to do list before the Rabbit & the Duck fly up to Queensland tomorrow. I'm currently looking at the pile of clothes and other bits and pieces I need to pack, which are sitting next to my suitcase. The pile is much larger than my suitcase. To address this issue, I'm writing blog posts and checking Facebook. Perhaps if I wait long enough the pile will miraculously pack itself?
Also, we'll have limited internet access while we're away, but I'm hoping to check in occasionally to let you know what adventures we've been on and hopefully share some photographs : )
Happy Sunday x

Soon the kids will be off for the holiday break! We know how it is…despite the new Christmas gifts, there's still a shortage of ideas and activities to keep them occupied! If you think back to your own childhood, you can probably relate to the boredom.
The truth is that kids were built to be active, imaginative and to have fun, and when given the chance, they'll do just that! However, sometimes coming up with ideas in the heat of the moment can be difficult and put a lot of frustration and emotional stress on parents!
Introducing "The Fun Kids Holiday Break Activities Guide"! We're moms, too, and over the years we compiled a collection of ideas so we ourselves were prepared for the, "But Mom, there's nothing to do," cries from the other room! We pulled all our ideas together and create a fun download. We're offing it for free to all followers of our Facebook page!
Some of the ideas are tried and true; others are new to us, and we're excited to see how our kids react to these activities. We'll be giving them a try during the upcoming holiday break, and we hope you do, too.
If you do, please report back and share the experience by posting a comment and/or photo of your activity on our Facebook page or commenting below! And if you've stumbled across an idea for a child-friendly activity we haven't mentioned in this book, please share that, too.
To keep your kids entertained and busy (and you sane and stress-free) during the holiday break from school, simply visit Healing Touch Chiropractic on Facebook (and like us while you're there). Then click on "Free Health Tips" (below our page's cover image) to download this fun gift!

It was a scary Christmas morning for a seven-year-old girl opening gifts in Sumter, South Carolina.
The girl found a razor blade wrapped in electrical tape inside her Polly-Pocket plane set.
Her mother says she found it wedged inside a space for the plane's walk-way.
It's unclear when or how the blade might have gotten inside.
"It was hidden. The things completely sealed up, wrapped in a box. How did it get there?" asked Kimberly Compton, mother of the young girl.
The Polly Pocket set is made by Mattel, and was bought at a Sumter Wal-Mart.
