Google+: Google's Best-Kept Secret
Google+ is growing fast, with a thriving community and brisk discussions. And yet, marketers aren't paying much attention to it, and a lot of smart people think it's a failure. What's up with that?
Compete Pulse has been measuring traffic to Google+ domains since its launch in June. The results show impressive growth, with 20 million unique visitors in December, 50 million visits, and 200 million page views:
That gives Google+ nearly half the unique visitors of Twitter, which saw 40,411,065 unique visitors in December, says Compete Pulse.
The report matches my anecdotal observations. I log in to Google+ a couple of times a day and see a lot of activity. My account has 2,654 followers; my Twitter account took a couple of years to reach that level.
And yet, marketers don't give Google+ a lot of respect. Brands aren't active on Google+ (with some execeptions: for example, H&M, Pepsi, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and Ford). Google+ doesn't come up in marketing discussions; I attended the Online Marketing Summit this week and only heard Google+ mentioned once, and that in a discussion where panelists said they weren't paying a lot of attention to it. And when Google+ comes up on The CMO Site message boards, it's usually from community members expressing disappointment.
So why the disconnect?
Google+ has a perception problem, says the Altimeter Group's Jeremiah Owyang. A journalist asked him this week, "Does anyone even go there anymore? It seems like a wasteland. The Altimeter Group's study found not a single Super Bowl ad by the world's largest brands mentioned Google+, Owyang said.
And Google+ is the subject of a scathing photo-cartoon, which has attracted 11,000 views, suggesting "Google+ is filled with Google employees -- and thats about it," Owyang says.
Google+ has several image problems, he notes. Google+ in the news has been overshadowed by the Facebook IPO. Google+ lacks the full backing of brands, with substandard brand pages providing limited apps and gaming support, compared with Facebook. "Brands are also skittish to open yet another conversation area to manage and engage in, when resources are low." Google+'s growth, while strong, is still dwarfed 16:1 by Facebook.
Indeed, Owyang lays out why The CMO Site hasn't been active on Google+. We have a brand page, but we haven't devoted much attention to it. Compared with Facebook and Twitter, it's hard to post to Google+, and Google+ lacks the management and measurement tools that brands need.
To win, Google+ needs to build its public perception as well as the platform. "They must not only double down on building a successful platform for users, brands, and their business model, but must also do proactive media, press, and influencer outreach," Owyang says.
What do you think of Google+? What would it take for you to pay more attention to it as a marketing platform?

You may think that you can't afford a professional-level home alarm system in Washington, but the reality is that you simply can't afford NOT to have one. With an ADT Monitored Home Security System, you get both a price that will let you comfortably add items to your growing collection of valuables, and a professional level of security that will help keep your valuables well-secured.
If you have ever come back from a relaxing family vacation to discover that your Washington home was burglarized, you know how all of that comfort and relaxation can quickly disintegrate into confusion, panic, and a sense of vulnerability. Be it a family heirloom handed down from generation to generation, or the most recent home entertainment system, it's a horrible feeling to discover that your valuables have ended up in the hands of thieves. An ADT Monitored Home Security System in WA will help give you the comfort in knowing that you'll return from your trips with your belongings intact.
ADT protects you from the dangers that can be seen, like burglars, predators, and fires, but what about the dangers that can't be seen, smelled, or tasted? Carbon monoxide poisoning is one such danger, and it claims hundreds of lives and sends thousands to the hospital on a yearly basis. In the U.S. alone, carbon monoxide poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths. Advanced ADT monitored home security systems in Washington are capable of sensing this "silent killer".
ADT's security experts can act right away in sending the closest WA police officers. At the same time, an ADT security professional will attempt to contact you by various means, such as a direct voice intercom link, to help assess the situation and take the best measures in making sure that you and your family members in Washington remain safe. Also, since ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Washington can connect with ADT's monitoring services using a dedicated cellular connection, you don't need to worry about crafty home invaders who often make attempts to bypass alarm systems by severing your phone lines. No other home security company in Washington is able to offer the degree of protection that is possible with an ADT Monitored Home Security System.

Kyoshi Dave Kovar and the members of his Satori Academy have been busy working on building up a strong Anti-Bullying Training Platform for Martial Arts Instructors everywhere. Today marked the beginning of the next stage in the evolution of the effort to stop bullying in our schools. After opening up registration on his newest endeavor, Martial Artists Against Bullying (MAAB), the team began working to fill their new website with the materials badly needed by the martial arts community.
Today Kovar and his team posted an incredible "prototype" video to their Facebook Page. Martial arts instructors that have become a part of the worldwide team are now viewing and commenting on this first effort. The attached video is the first of a series of videos being designed and produced to help martial arts instructors teach the values and concepts that make bullying prevention training work. This video is being called a "prototype" by Kyoshi Kovar, a part of a series called "Where Success Stories Begin".
"Where Success Stories Begin is a series of short videos that teach children how to get on a path to success at school, at home and in life. This segment is about courage. It explains how courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather doing what you know is right even if you are afraid. The video shows and example in which a boy facing peer pressure uses courage to make the right decision." - Kovar on his YouTube Video Release
This first "prototype" video is quite excellent. It does an outstanding job of taking the concept of "courage" and explaining it in a way that kids will understand. The video also illustrates the real meaning of courage in terms that are meaningful to kids. It is exciting to see the martial arts community getting involved to this depth and producing materials that can, and will, make an impact in the fight against the damage being done by bullying. I look forward to seeing more of these videos as they are produced, this first one shouldn't be just a "prototype", it is ready to be the model that leads the way to a better, bully-free future for our children!

Advocate staff report June 26, 2014; 3:39 p.m. Comments Dr. John, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a six-time Grammy-winner from New Orleans, will release his tribute to jazz great Louis Armstrong, "Ske-Dat-De-Dat...The Spirit Of Satch," Aug. 19. "He's the most famous guy that ever came out of my neighborhood," Dr. John said in a press release from Concord Records. "He became a legend all over, for his trumpet playin' and everything else, and he was the United States' ambassador to the world." The inspiration for the project, a tribute from one New Orleans music star to another, came to Dr. John in a dream, the release added. "Louis' spirit came to me and told me to do something, that's how this whole thing started," Dr. John said. "Louis told me, 'Take my music and do it your way.' It was the most unexpectable thing in the world to me, to have Louis' spirit show up like that, but he gave me a concept of where to roll with it that was spiritually correct. That made me feel very open to try some different things, because I felt was that his spirit had OK'd this record." "Ske-Dat-De-Dat…The Spirit Of Satch" features guest stars Bonnie Raitt, New Orleans native Ledisi and the McCrary Sisters in "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." Rhythm-and-blues singer Anthony Hamilton is featured on "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child." Blues artist Shemekia Copeland sings a duet with Dr. John of "Sweet Hunk O' Trash."

"The whole thing felt pretty special, and I desitively was in a different zone for this record," Dr. John of the album, which he co-produced with his trombonist Sarah Morrow, who also arranged the album. "I wanted to pull together some of his hits and some of the songs he wasn't as well known for, and make them feel fresh and different. Sarah wrote some slammin' charts that kept everything spacious and hip. And everybody played and sang great, and gave it their own spirit." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Software Security
With the introduction of exploit kits in the market, many more hackers are available in the world than there were a few years ago as mentioned by Online Gaming Expert www.gamingsoft.com . In this regard it comes as no surprise that even common people can be hacked. With this in mind you should look into enhancing security for your laptop and desktop, to ensure that your software is protected. So what can one do?
1. Use personalized WIFI
One simple way to ensure there is software security in your computer is by privatizing WIFI. This is for the simple reason that if it is an open WIFI; anyone can infiltrate it from outside. By using encryption passwords you will not only make it harder for them, but the chances of them having to do damage is significantly reduced.
2. Do not send personal information
When it comes to software security the catch that many hackers use is to make you send your personal information to them. With this in place they will be able to go know everything about you by going into your personal detailed life. This way stealing your software by illegal downloads. In this case be wise and do not just respond to any email that pops up in your inbox, ensure you investigate first.
3. Keep your program up to date
The reality on the ground is that to ensure software security going the extra mile is inevitable. With even the most legitimate of sites being infiltrated by hackers, covering their tracks using invisible codes, your computer may just as well download a hacker's software's. In this regard by keeping everything up to date whether it is Microsoft, adobe flash or any other software you use, you will be able to weed out the malicious codes before they get a chance to install themselves. Doing this you are assured of having your software protected from illegal downloads.
4. Install antiviruses
There is a reason that antivirus programs exist in the market and the simple answer is that they work. With the most notable way hackers can download software's still being by use alerts of viruses, using an antivirus is sure to ensure that the viruses are weeded out. This way whether it is by use emails or a website you have entered, the alert will be working. However to ensure that there is really no chance of even the cleverest of hackers illegally downloading your software, schedule regular scans of your computer to check for viruses. It is good to note that even though there are some free antivirus programs on the internet, the safest are the once that are purchased and known to work, this way proofing fully your computer.
5. Use different passwords
Most people normally place in the same passwords for everything to make it simple to remember. However this is usually a celebration to any hacker that wishes to download your software illegally. By using different passwords even with the hackers sending in viruses to record your passwords and sending it back to them, they will not be able to accomplish much as you are secure.

Republican Party leaders need time to absorb the lessons of this month's election. They need time to mull over whether their second presidential defeat in a row was the fault of their candidates, their tactics or something deeper in their party's nature and beliefs.
But there is no time for contemplation here at the edge of Washington's fiscal cliff. Republicans such as House Speaker John A. Boehner have not months, or even weeks, but just days to decide whether they will overturn decades of party orthodoxy and support tax increases in order to head off something worse — across-the-board spending cuts and tax increases that could throw the economy into recession.
By the end of last week, it appeared that both Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky — the top GOP leaders after Mitt Romney's defeat — were willing to negotiate higher revenue as part of a deal with Democrats and President Barack Obama.
"We're prepared to put revenue on the table," McConnell said after meeting with Obama at the White House on Nov. 16, "provided we fix the real problem," by which he meant entitlement spending.
McConnell's concession, which followed Boehner's earlier in the week, shows the deep impact that Obama's re-election has had on Republicans and the growing realization that the party perhaps has become too doctrinaire for its own good.
"Defeat concentrates the mind," says Henry Olsen, a vice president of the pro-business American Enterprise Institute, "and two defeats concentrate the mind twice as much."
The election results also raise the question whether prominent Republicans like Boehner and McConnell, once they choke down the bitter draught of higher taxes, might be willing to reconsider other Republican taboos such as regulation of the finance and housing industries and allowing illegal immigrants a route to citizenship.
After decades of being, in effect, purged from the party by those enforcing orthodoxy on taxes, abortion and other issues, GOP moderates might again have a say.
In considering this point, Olsen reaches back for a phrase from Richard Nixon to describe what he thinks will happen within the party. "I think there's a silent majority in conservatism that is going to stop being silent," Olsen says, and the party will focus on good ideas and packaging.
"There's not going to be unanimity," he cautions. "There will be debates; there will be fights. It will be loud. It will be civil. It will be not civil."
Even during the campaign, there were hints that leading Republicans have had misgivings about GOP recalcitrance on taxes. In his keynote speech to the Republican convention, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie raised eyebrows by saying that Republicans and the country at large needed to face up to "the hard truths" presented by the budget deficit. He stopped well short of defying party doctrine on taxes but still sounded more like a traditional fiscal conservative than a supply side disciple.
In the weeks before the election, Romney had begun to present a more nuanced, even positive view of government in the final weeks of the presidential campaign, particularly in his first debate with Obama. And that was when he saw his poll numbers begin to rise.
What isn't clear is whether giving ground on the tax question is a negotiating point, a brief tactical retreat or a recognition of larger changes to Republican policy on taxes and other issues.
It's difficult for any outsider to gauge where the Republican Party stands, after all, especially when, as Alex Brill, a former GOP tax policy aide, puts it, it is "hard for the party to know where the party is."
A New, or Old, Vision
Any idea of rethinking the Republican position on fiscal issues would, of course, go against 20 years of the party's absolute opposition to tax increases. That absolutism has fed the party's adamant stance on a broad range of issues, with strict adherence to the core principle of fiscal conservatism paramount. But if Republicans are no longer to be the party of absolutes, some say, that means they can open up to other new ideas.
Suddenly, for instance, many Republicans have decided that a more flexible immigration policy is necessary to appeal to the growing Hispanic population that voted so overwhelmingly for Obama. Likewise, questions on health care, the environment, defense spending and other policies may look different through a less-restrictive filter.
Republicans aren't giving up on their drive for a much smaller federal government — for many in the party that is at the heart of the current debate over taxes and spending — and, in fact, some commentators maintain that the party can help itself most with all sectors of the public by clearly defining a Republican vision of economics and finance, even if that means accepting higher taxes.
"What the party really needs, much more than a better identity-politics pitch, is an economic message that would appeal across demographic lines" to voters "who don't relate to the current GOP fixation on upper-bracket tax cuts," New York Times columnist Ross Douthat wrote four days after the election.
Other influential conservatives aligned with the Republican establishment, such as The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, essentially agree with Douthat.
"It won't kill the country if Republicans raise taxes a little bit on millionaires," Kristol said on Fox News the weekend after the election. "Really, the Republican Party is going to fall on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires, half of whom voted Democratic, and half of whom live in Hollywood and are hostile to Republicans?"
Traditional conservatives are wary of that kind of talk, because they worry it will distract Republicans from the implications of the election. After all, they say, Republican presidential candidates have failed to win the popular vote in five of the past six elections. Republicans have become less popular with minorities who make up an increasingly large percentage of the population, and, according to experts, there is little evidence that isolated adjustments on some issues, such as a more open stance on immigration, would be enough to reverse that trend.
"It's not just about immigration policy," says Michael Dimock, an associate director at the Pew Research Center. "Latino voters do care more about that issue than non-Latino voters, but there are a wider range of values that bring Latinos closer to the Democratic Party than the Republican Party."
But conservative commentators, those who influence long-term GOP positions, believe there are high hurdles in fiscal policies on the way to a new message.
Since the 1980s, Republicans have supported tax cuts for economic reasons but also for what's been derided as the "two Santa Claus theory" that tax cuts can help Republicans just as new spending programs can help Democrats. Supporting a tax increase would mean abandoning this strategy. And raising taxes on the rich — those millionaires in California and New York at which Kristol directs his ire — could make it harder for Republicans to raise money for campaigns.
There are models in the party's history to follow. There are, for instance, the Republican presidents of an earlier era, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gerald R. Ford — and even Ronald Reagan and George Bush — who promoted a brand of fiscal conservatism that was less concerned with slashing taxes and government programs than with sustainable budget deficits.
For many Republicans, Bush's 1992 defeat by Bill Clinton was the result of one thing: He reneged on his "No New Taxes" pledge. Bush's decision to allow an increase during budget negotiations in 1990, and his subsequent defeat essentially sealed the principle of absolutism — at least on taxes — that the party has strictly maintained ever since.
But, says Rudolph Penner, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute who was an economic adviser to Ford, another theory "which I think might have more merit, is the problem was not raising taxes per se, but breaking his very dramatic 'read my lips, no new taxes' promise, and that's what did him in."
Now, at a time of heightened concerns about deficits and debt, it's possible "that being prudent fiscally is not necessarily a losing game" said Penner, and that allowing a tax increase might be considered prudent.
Other ideas for reform-minded conservatives range in scope and ambition.
For Olsen, one of the important steps that Republicans could take would be to adopt a generally more positive attitude toward government, embracing specific programs that work rather than disparaging the very enterprise of governing. There was strong evidence for this in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, where the rapid and highly visible response of the White House and the Federal Emergency Management Agency was widely applauded and highlighted the attachment Americans have to government programs that work.
Other scholars, such as Luigi Zingales of the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, would like Republicans to redirect their suspicion of big government to big business, which, in his view, has become dependent on government. That would mean more stringent regulation of large banks, as well as a revenue-raising, structural overhaul of the tax code to eliminate deductions and credits that benefit certain industries.
Taking this "pro-market but not necessarily pro-business" approach might make it harder to raise campaign contributions, Zingales acknowledges. But, he insists, "money is not everything in politics. If you lose on the idea ground, it is very difficult to win on other grounds."
Reading the Fine Print
The American Enterprise Institute published a budget proposal last year that offers a glimpse of what type of positions Republicans might take if they tilt a bit more toward the center.
The blueprint would let tax revenues increase to 19.9 percent of GDP by 2035, above the post-war average of roughly 18.5 percent that would be maintained if all expiring tax cuts were extended but below the level that would be achieved if all tax rates expire next year and remain unchanged. The plan includes a carbon tax to curb greenhouse gas emissions and an overhaul of Medicare that resembles the proposal offered by Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, still a conservative favorite even after his loss as the GOP vice presidential nominee.
Think tanks such as AEI have long been innovation centers for new party ideas, and conservatives are watching them for the debates, and the intellectual grounding, that could reconstruct the Republican foundation.
On a day when the think tank was holding a conference on global warming and carbon tax proposals, Olsen expressed optimism that AEI will foster a debate that would influence Republican lawmakers. "I do think that if people at AEI are producing good ideas in attractive packages, that people will listen and that you will start to hear those things by the people who are persuaded by them," he said.
But not everybody is convinced the Republican Party is about to reverse course, least of all those who have helped set it on its current path.
Grover Norquist, the author of the famous pledge to not raise taxes that almost all congressional Republicans have signed, vigorously denied in an interview that the modern anti-tax movement is anywhere close to losing steam. The call for a new look at taxes comes from inconsequential newspaper columnists, he said, "who don't know anything about politics."
As for the think tanks, Norquist said AEI President Arthur Brooks "is dead set in opposition to that sort of nonsense," adding that Brooks is "very solid on taxes and spending and limited government, but he runs a university that's got all these guys out there who mouth off on their own and he was terribly embarrassed by this 'let's have a carbon tax' gang."
In Norquist's view, Romney lost to Obama mostly because of the immigration issue and because he didn't communicate his ideas well enough. Republicans, Norquist says, have only just started to become honest about their plans to shrink government and, despite warnings otherwise, were able to keep control of the House while running on those proposals.
Deadline for a Decision
Norquist has reason to be confident. Congressional Republicans, particularly in the House, have resisted tax increases for so long and with such passion that it seems unlikely they will undergo a major shift in a matter of weeks.
In Congress, Republicans have zealously tried to cut the size and scope of government and also have adopted some new positions that are encouraging to people like Zingales.
For the first time in recent memory, a significant number of Republicans opposed the continuation of targeted, temporary tax cuts known as extenders because they viewed the provisions as wasteful earmarks. Although some Republicans supported efforts by multinational corporations to get a temporary tax holiday on their foreign earnings, other Republicans resisted.
Led by figures such as Boehner and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp of Michigan, a group of House Republicans said their goal was to streamline the tax system by scaling tax breaks and dealing with nonpartisan problems such as the prevalence of temporary provisions in the law.
For the past two years, most GOP lawmakers have been committed to using all the revenue gained by ending tax benefits to lower tax rates, rather than to reduce the deficit.
However, that may be changing as the pressure grows to protect the middle-class from being overburdened by taxes, a mantra the president used in the campaign.
The path toward a new party position, though, may put the mathematics of taxes up against ideological purity. Heading into deficit reduction negotiations, Republicans insist they are against allowing rates for top earners to rise beyond 35 percent, and some say that should remain a fundamental GOP principle.
By holding firm on rates, Republicans are showing they can "stare down all the constituent interests that have worked their way into the tax code," says Brill, who is now a research fellow at AEI. "It's a lot easier politically in this town to leave those preferences in place and use the other levers to get more revenue."
Brill says, however, that putting a cap on itemized deductions for high-income earners would not be nearly as meaningful as a plan to carefully restructure or eliminate individual preferences.
Given political pressures and the tight deadline of the lame-duck session, Republicans might be tempted to push for an across-the-board haircut on tax benefits, but that would be "a poor substitute for tax reform," he says.
Such basic questions about policy are what party leaders in Congress are grappling with as they try to redraw their stance on economic measures even while larger GOP principles remain under vigorous debate.
"If you aren't able to describe how you've gone to making the code substantively more fair, more pro-growth, then you are losing your identity, then it's a tax hike without technically changing the rates," Brill says.
Yet, there "is not adequate time or resources to have the policy reform debate," he said.

Failure Is Not In My Vocabulary
You see I am currently being faced with some situations that are simply frustrating me,…
This weekend my sister and I opted in for some girl time and decided that Saturday night we were heading to the local theater to watch Friends With Benefits, now mind you the last movie my sister and I saw was No Strings Attached in the theater and based on the reviews I was a bit concerned the movies would be way too much alike that I wouldn't like Friends with Benefits.
My sister and I got all dressed up and she straightened her hair. I realized I was getting all dressed up to go to a local movie only but sometimes girls just want to "feel pretty" and I was in a much needed "need to feel pretty" kind of mood. After my sister used my flat iron to get her hair all straight I decided to ask if she would straighten my long hair.
You see I am not a girl who likes to take long to get ready for anything and I thought flattening my hair was going to take at least two hours because I have a ton of thick, long hair, but it only took maybe a half hour or forty five minutes tops to flatten my mop of hair.
We headed out looking all pretty and visited my father for a quick minute at the farm and then we were off to see Friends with Benefits. I loved this movie so much, it was well worth my time. I found myself laughing, crying, relating and so much more. I truly loved Friends with Benefits and if you are a person who liked No Strings Attached or similar topics for movies then I suggest you at least give it a try even if you wait for the DVD to come out.
Have you seen Friends with Benefits yet?
You too look so cute, what a great idea making it a fun girlfriend's night out and getting all done up first. Love the idea and thanks for the tip on the movie.
I haven't been to the movies in years. Only to take my daughter to see Olivia. That doesn't really count. I haven't seen any movies at all in a long time.

Radical Women
Energetic, thoughtful, motivated feminist rebels seek same. Join a vibrant, international organization of dynamic women of all colors, ages, and sexual persuasions. We're workers, mothers, students, retirees, immigrants, women with disabilities—all united by a common socialist feminist program that prioritizes fighting for the needs and leadership of the most oppressed.
Radical Women was founded in 1967 by two seasoned feminist revolutionaries, Clara Fraser and Gloria Martin, and by young radicals from the Students for a Democratic Society who were fed up with sexism. The new group's mission: to provide a feminist voice in the labor, antiwar and civil rights movements and a radical voice in the women's liberation movement. Today Radical Women is an autonomous organization affiliated by program and aims with the Freedom Socialist Party.
Radical Women members:
■ Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with super-exploited women workers in this hemisphere and the world
■ Oppose the destruction spread by U.S. imperialism and reject the idea that women and children should pay for the war machine which bankrupts social services and education programs in the U.S. while devastating other countries
■ Fight to protect women's clinics and preserve access to abortion
■ Speak out against racism and work with the RW/FSP Comrades of Color Caucus
■ Defend equal rights for queers
■ Join unions to strengthen the labor movement through rank and file activism and solidarity
■ Demand full human and civil rights for immigrants regardless of status
■ Explain why socialism is the humane and sensible alternative to the exploitation that all workers—men and women—suffer under capitalism.
■ Speak, write, organize and lead
■ Want to change the world!

A shot in the arm is in order for the box office and it may come in the form of "Guardians of the Galaxy." Even if the glut of superheroes has taken its toll, this escapism movie may hit the spot.
After "Guardians of the Galaxy" gets digested, it could be a good thing. It not only has the potential of creating great characters (and likable), the music will hit home for the nostalgic crowd, and the baby boomers.
The soundtrack alone may be one reason to head to "Guardians of the Galaxy." If one loves the 1970s, get ready. The movie just gets started and on comes "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc, then not long after that, "Go All the Way" by the Raspberries. But, it is the reason for the mix tape that is important. No spoilers here as this is not a review, either.
The Wrap noted that the film could very well end up in the $60-70 million range. Not bad at all considering the slump of late. The box office needs a fun movie that perhaps knocks some cobwebs out.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" stars a plethora of known actors, and two well-known voices. First, the voices, and they matter here. Bradley Cooper is Rocket Raccoon, who is vital to this movie and Vin Diesel is Groot, a tree. But it is Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista who are the core of the film. Other notables include Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Benicio Del Toro.
If it wants to create characters that people latch on to, Rocket and Groot fit the bill. Rocket could have gone the way of Jar Jar Binks, but that doesn't happen. Plus, the battle scenes are actually fun to watch. Most superhero films of late are about a half hour too long. This one is just right.
But again, the soundtrack is the glue. Pop in the mix tape and enjoy this one.
It is rated PG-13.

After Battleground, I had no idea what the WWE was going to throw at us. Most of Battleground was atrocious, other than the Rhodes match, which everyone pretty much agrees was the highlight of the show, but I also didn't have the huge problem with the main event that many other fans did. They tried something, and it didn't completely work, but at least they tried something off the beaten path. No matter what had happened in the main event, no matter who had actually won the match, there would have been a huge number of fans who were pissed about it, so why not continue to keep the WWE Title in abeyance and push forward. I can't say it was the best thing, but coming off RAW, I think it was the smartest thing for the WWE to do at that point.
In Ring Segment > B
I'm normally a huge Steph fan, but she looked like an Oompah Loompah in this segment. Whoever did her makeup should go back to the New Jersey shore. Beyond that, Steph just wasn't up to snuff. My newest acquired teenager was slightly scared by how intense Steph was in this segment, which was good, but the way she tweaked and attacked Big Show was a bit much for me. It showed that she was flying off the handle and losing control, but it didn't come across on TV very well. Big Show, on the other hand, was quite strong here. He was actually rather endearing, and I couldn't help smile while watching him.
Ziggler vs Sandow > B+
I wasn't able to catch their pre-Battleground match, but from the way the announcers were acting, this was a much better match than their first one. I loved the vicious side of Sandow. That's what I want to be seeing from Mr. MITB! He needs to be built up before he cashes in, as so many people have been saying. I honestly was okay with him losing this match because of how strong and intense he was, but I would have been absolutely fine with him losing if he hadn't been losing so much recently. Wait, he's lost pretty much everything recently. Not cool WWE creative!
Winner – Ziggler (12:41)
Backstage Segment > B-
I was even less impressed with Steph and Maddox working together. It lacked any intensity and feeling. Maddox has his good moments, and his bad moments. This wasn't a good one for him.
6 Divas Match > D-
I thought Nattie looked strong in the ring, and even Aksana looked better than usual when working against Nattie, but then there was Eva Marie. Honestly, I lost my DISH feed part way through this match, and I'm somewhat glad it happened because I really was tweaked by what I was seeing from Eva Marie in the ring. Between worrying about possible wardrobe issues, her belly button ring, and the fact that she looked sloppier than Khali, I wasn't sure she and her opponent was going to make it out of the ring in one piece. I heard JoJo didn't make it into the ring, and I'm not sure if that was a good thing, or a bad thing.
Winners – Team Nattie
Stage Segment > C-
Maddox was like a freaked out little boy apologizing for shaving the cat. I guess if that was the plan, then he sold it well. Just after Booker T was announced, I lost my DISH feed again. It sounds as though I didn't miss much, and luckily that was the worst of the storm, and the last of the connectivity that I lost.
Los Matadores vs 3MB > C-
While McIntyre was in this match instead of Slater, it was basically the same match we saw on RAW last week, and then on Smackdown, but condensed. Hopefully Los Matadores branches off to face other teams, and show what they have. I'm still not sold on them, either way.
Winners – Los Matadores (2:21)
In Ring Segment > C
This was not Heyman's best segment. Honestly, I thought, for Heyman, it really fell flat. I think rather than Heyman bringing Axel and Ryback up, they are starting to drag him down. Further, they are sucking Punk and his feud with Heyman down with them. I love Heyman, and I adore Punk, but I was very disappointed in this segment and what it represented.
Punk & R-Truth vs Ryback & Axel B
After all the ugh from the segment before, I really enjoyed watching R-Truth and Punk tag together. The two of them together were entertaining. They have real chemistry, and a wonderful vibe together. Other than having to watch Ryback's arrogance, I thought this match was a lot of fun.
Winners – Punk & R-Truth (12:40)
Stage Segement > Q?
I have never been a Bob Backlund fan. I never understood him, or understood why he was over with the fans when he was. That he's been working for months at a time, now and then, with a small, and rather crappy, promotion up here in the northeast off and on shows that he's not completely irrelevant, but I still don't understand his draw. Maybe I need to go back and watch some of his work, remind myself of who Backlund is.
Orton vs Kofi > B
I was impressed with the work between Kofi and Orton, but it seems sad that we're revisiting these two under this storyline. It seems as though Orton is out of faces to beat up on and show his worth, so he's stepping back and destroying whoever he can. Personally, thinking of this match all I can see is Orton and Kofi facing off at MSG, that last wonderful match before Orton trashed Kofi backstage and Kofi's career took a hard left into mid-card purgatory. That Orton doesn't have any other faces on his level to beat up shows just one of the issues in the WWE right now. Orton needs to be feuding with someone other than Bryan before long, as this seems to be running its course pretty quickly.
Winner Orton (13:47)
Backstage Segment > B
I loved Vickie's reactions to ADR, to his face and behind his back. She might have that annoying voice, but she is good at putting across her feelings, no matter what they might be.
Stage Segment > B+
You know you expected me to give this at least an A-, right? Yes, I yelled loudly when his music hit, and I woke up Stacy who had dozed off on the sofa, but it was so worth it to see HBShizzle back, even if just briefly. I loved how he talked about getting HBShizzle trending after almost 30 years. It made me think of .the night DX was thrown out of the arena and they had to go to Cryme Tyme to buy tickets. Yes, it was a flash of Airplane, but is still one of the funniest segments I've seen on RAW, possibly because it was Trip showing that he really did grow up a New Hampshire boy. It's right up there with Kane working with The Rock and Hogan, meeting them backstage and going through their catchphrases. It was a good thing Kane was behind his mask because you could see he was having troubles keeping a straight face behind it.
On a more serious note, I'm thrilled that HBK has been brought into this storyline. It was a natural direction to take things, and while this wasn't the most organic of ways to bring HBK in, but at least he's here! Now there's so many directions for HBK to take things. Will he side with his bestie, or will it be with his protege and the future? I'm so excited that he's been brought in, and can't wait to see what they do with HBK, though I do wish he hadn't shaved off his beard before returning.
ADR vs Ricardo > D
I wasn't overly impressed with this match, but that wasn't what this match was about. I honestly don't know how Cena is able to return from injuries after such abbreviated recuperation and rehab time, other than spectacular genetics, seriously fantastic healing abilities, and the drive that few other have to return to the WWE. I'm always in awe of Cena and his abilities, and I have to say that it could be a good thing that he returns early this time, because things are not going well for most storylines or Superstars right now.
Winner – Ricardo (1:00)
Ryder vs Fandango >
This is what I'm talking about, things not going well. I don't know why so many Superstars don't have storylines, feuds, or even directions at this point, but it's hurting everyone, the shows, and the fans. The WWE has strong characters, and while they might not be main eventers, they're strong and can carry more than five minutes at a time. They should be allowed to do so. I just want to know what happened to mid-card feuds and storylines?
Winner – Fandango (2:44)
The Real Americans vs Khali & Santino > C+
If Cesaro was allowed to show his personality, I think he'd be so much more over than he is now. That brief little moment after this match, when he acted like Hornswoggle was too heavy to pick up, that his back hurt, was great! Anyone who watched him in ROH knows that Cesaro has personality, and it's about time he's allowed to show some of it to get over with the fans. If Cesaro didn't have to stand there like a lump, yodel, or stomp around with his man purse, the fans might actually find him interesting. But if he's not allowed, then he will continue to be the straight man to Santino's silliness.
Winners – The Real Americans (3:55)
Miz TV > B
The Wyatt Family are now going after Miz? This could be interesting. I'm kind of bummed that nothing came of The Wyatt Family and Kofi, but I think Miz is a much better fit for them. This actually excites me. Hopefully something fun will come of this!
Backstage Segment > C+
I still think Steph and Trip are adorable together, but Maddox made me want to scream! That young man is so far off most of the time that I wonder why he's still there, other than he has something to hold over someone's head.
6 Man Tag Match > B+
I really enjoyed watching Cody, Goldust and Bryan work against The Shield. Goldust proved himself at Battleground, but it was Cody who the fans were in love with. That young man has taken a huge step up in the WWE, and who knows where the future leads, but he sure turned that mistake into something fantastic! Then there's Goldust who is back with the WWE because of that same mistake. I'm enthralled with all that's gone down, and how the Rhodes brothers have capitalized on what was happening to them. Many other young wrestlers could learn a lot from what Cody and Goldust have done over the past couple weeks.
The ring work was very entertaining, but I found the soft tags between the brothers intriguing. They were some of the most delicate tags I've ever seen. I also loved Trip ringside. He was very much McMahon, but also very much himself, conducting the match, The Shield and Orton as he saw fit. Everything was going perfectly for him, until Big Show's return. We all knew Big Show would be returning, and it made the most sense for him to return at the end of RAW, rather than chase RAW to the next location before doing something to the one man who has been causing him the most grief, Trip. I loved how Big Show handled The Shield, then simply punched Trip out, but it was Bryan who left a smile on my face. He was adorable celebrating Trip's defeat, but it was the way he adjusted Trip's tie, the way Miz's jacket was adjusted when he'd been knocked out by Big Show. It was a lovely little thing for Bryan to do, and so telling.
Winners – Cody & Goldust & Bryan (11:05)
Winners – The Shield (0:50)
Post Show
As I said in the beginning, I understand why a lot of fans were unhappy with Battleground, but they set up for this change of pace on RAW. Only time will tell if it was a good thing, but I found key parts of RAW very entertaining, and really pushed storylines forward. I do wish that there was more going on with specific Superstars who are stronger than their current situations, but I guess that's just the ebb and flow of the storylines, especially when the bosses are involved in the biggest storyline of the moment.

"Are you really comparing your sexual behavior (as a basis of equality) with the equality based on different skin color?"
Yes, because where you see this issue as one of sexual behavior (which can be controlled), the real issue is one about sexual orientation (which, like race or skin color cannot be controlled). LGBT couples want to get married and enjoy the same rights and privileges as others. Sex is down on the list as a reason to get married.

Ok, my God tells me to treat all people with respect, dignity, and fairness, which includes homosexuals can get married to each other. Your God says "no". Whose God is correct? We could argue like this all year long.

If you don't like the definition of marriage as between one man and one
woman, what definition would you propose?
Other definitions are advocated by society in the name of equality. Indeed, many think the only way to fix "inequality" is to allow gay marraige. Alright. Let's say, gays can marry. But, if equality is really what we're after, can 3 people get married? 4? What about marriage with 2 men and one woman? If equality is what we're after then there is no logical reason to deny these other relationships.
And so I ask, if marriage is not defined by the relationship of one man and one woman, what definition would you propose? Are we okay with inequality for people under a certain age? Or inequality for people in multiple partner relationships? If equality is what society is really after there is no reason to deny marriage for other types of relationships. If that's the case, marriage will come to mean something so broad it will mean nothing.
Rather, it makes sense to have a marriage definition of one man and one woman. If we don't preserve this definition of marriage, what definition would you propose?

@Tekakaromatagi "I love my Mom, I love my Dad, why can't I get marriage
benefits from them? Am I legal stranger."
You already have a legal kinship relationship with your mom and dad (e.g., inheritance, health directive decision making).
Marriage implies an intimate relationship, which you may desire with your mom and dad, but that would be incest and is against the law.
@Logic and truth. Same-sex couples are not asking for group marriage. Polygamists can legally marry one other spouse. Polygamy has been determined by science to be much like a religious practice a choice. Sexual orientation, like race, and gender, for most people is immutable. A requirement to change a fundamental immutable part of ones identity in order to marry is not constitutional. A right to marry someone for which there is no intimate attraction is no right at all. Marrying multiple spouses is not an inherent immutable and fundamental characteristic of ones identity. Therefore the government through civil marriage law is not required to recognize every single type of relationship one may wish to enter.

@Objectified: "It's amusing to see how quickly liberal supporters jump
to this subject whenever it comes out in any way, shape or form in a newspaper
Conservative supporters for marriage equality are here too.
They acknowledge the simple fact that some people are gay-- and that whether it is right or wrong to be gay is a personal decision.
They recognize that gay people are emotionally and physically attracted to members of the same sex, and have chosen a religious view that supports that, and will live their lives accordingly.
This is freedom of religion in action: a conservative value.
Utah leadership has struggled and failed to make an argument against gay marriage based on anything other than a religious principle.
People fall in love, marry, and sometimes raise children. We have a system of laws for accommodating this perfectly human sequence of events that currently excludes gay people.
Protecting our own rights to define who we are and what we believe means making room for others to do the same.

Astronomers have always believed our galaxy may collide with its cosmic neighbour Andromeda - and now the doomsday scenario has been confirmed.
Nasa has spent years tracking the direction of the Andromeda galaxy through its Hubble Space telescope.
The US space agency confirmed its precise observations "remove any doubt that it is destined to collide and merge with the Milky Way".
But there is little point in panicking yet - the big crash will not happen for another four billion years.
And after the two finally meet it will then take another two billion years for them "to completely merge under the tug of gravity and reshape into a single elliptical galaxy similar to the kind commonly seen in the local universe," Nasa added.
The stars inside the galaxies will not collide, however, according to Nasa they will be "thrown into different orbits around the new galactic centre".
Scientists have estimated that Andromeda, also known as M31, is moving towards our galaxy at a speed of 250,000 miles (402,000kms) per hour - the same speed as it would take to travel from Earth to the Moon in an hour.
Andromeda, which is currently 2.5 million light-years away, was first spotted as "a little cloud" by the Persian astronomer Abd al Rahman al Sufi in 964.
For more than 100 years scientists have been trying to discover what direction of movement the galaxy was taking, and repeated observations over a five-to-seven year period from the Hubble telescope have finally allowed them to determine its course.
Gurtina Besla of Columbia University in New York said: "In the worst-case scenario simulation, M31 slams into the Milky Way head-on and the stars are all scattered into different orbits.
"The stellar populations of both galaxies are jostled, and the Milky Way loses its flattened pancake shape with most of the stars on nearly circular orbits.
"The galaxies' cores merge, and the stars settle into randomised orbits to create an elliptical-shaped galaxy."

After months in maternity clothes, you're ready to return to your regular wardrobe. But in addition to a few lingering pregnancy pounds, you may also be contending with the need for easy nursing access. Before you throw in the towel and resort to dowdy duds that cover and hide, give the old-fashioned—yet still fashionable—button up a try. Below are six fresh takes on the blouse you'll want to wear to the office during the week, to run errands on Saturday, to pose in for the annual holiday card photo shoot, and, frankly, to do just about anything else. They're versatile, wearable, flattering and—most importantly—not maternity. Go ahead, feed chic.

On January 6 2014, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff ruled in favor of Tomita Technologies, forcing Nintendo to pay 1.82% (wholesale price) of each 3DS ever sold to Tomita. That equals to roughly $3.60 per unit sold, $100+ million estimated overall.
In November 2011, former Sony engineer Seijiro Tomita's Tomita Technologies of Japan filed a lawsuit stating that Nintendo had infringed upon their glasses free 3D patent. Tomita Technologies had originally filed the patent back in 2003 and were approved in 2008; Nintendo unveiled their 3DS handheld in 2010, and launched in 2011.
"If, as Tomita suggests, the ongoing royalty rate were expressed as a flat dollar amount per unit sold, Tomita would capture an increasingly large proportion of each sale as the price falls, even as the technology's reliance on the infringed patent remains constant," explained Judge Jed Rakoff in a statement. "This would result in an unearned windfall for Tomita, and, accordingly, the court prefers an ongoing royalty rate expressed as a percentage of wholesale price."
Not only will Nintendo need to pay the most recent royalty percentage to Tomita Technologies, but will pay $15 million in damages ordered by a US judge in August 2013.
Although Nintendo had recently seen an influx in sales due to the 2013 holiday shopping season, the company has taken some pretty deep financial hits in the last several years. The Tomita Technologies lawsuit has dipped more than $115 million from Nintendo's finances, leaving many to speculate that they just witnessed Nintendo's final blow before potential bankruptcy.

Germany defeated host nation Brazil 7-1 Tuesday, in one of the most lopsided Semi-Finals performances in World Cup history. Brazil conceded 5 goals for the first time since 1938, and they did so in the first 29 minutes of play. Here's how the Washington Wizards, both former and present, reacted to the beat down.
Former Wizards forward-center Etan Thomas said, "Well I guess 7-1 sounds better than 7-0 #WorldCup #BrazilvsGermany," following Brazil's lone goal in the 90th minute. Thomas underwent open heart surgery in 2007, but that didn't stop him from playing ball. He played for Washington from 2001-2009 before leaving for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Former Wizards guard Shelvin Mack said, "Damn it's getting crazy....," as the goals started to pile. Mack, known to use an excessive amount of periods in his Tweets, followed with, "Somebody point shaving now.......," in reference to gambling. Without forward Neymar, the odds were certainly against Brazil.
Former Wizards center JaVale McGee took a chance to "ReTweet" himself by saying, "RT @JaValeMcGee34 THIS IS A VIDEO GAME 5 GOALS IN 29mins..." (McGee often starts a new Tweet out with a self-referenced RT.) Not to be outdone, Washington Wizards Examiner also Tweeted a video game reference (FIFA 2014): "Reminds me of Amateur difficulty in FIFA 14, where you can just run a forward past any time you want."
The Tweet of the night--as far as the Washington Wizards are concerned--had to be from newly re-signed center Marcin Gortat, who joked, "I hope Nene is ok....," in reference to teammate Nene, who is a Brazil native. Gortat's Tweet earned 945 ReTweets and 707 favorites at the time of publication (Washington Wizards Examiner added one to the ReTweets).

Good stuff here Tony. I am loving this show so far.
Quality horse racing at Suffolk Downs
Just imagine how fast you would get thrown out if I were there with you.
I would stay away from both Rome and Paris if I were you, I think both of these are not only possible, but probable.
I'd probably get thrown out of both.
Ascot, all the way, plus they have better beer.
Congrats Zipse!!!
Excellent job Don!

|The geometry of Picard's theorem
|Geometry Luncheon Seminar
|John Roe, Penn State
|Picard's theorem states that an entire nonconstant meromorphic function can omit at most two values. The classical proof can be given in half a page (Littlewood famously said that that half-page would have made an acceptable PhD thesis) but what is really going on? In the early twentieth century the brothers Nevanlinna developed an approach to Picard's theorem that was elementary and quantitative. Then in 1936,Lars Ahlfors took almost all the complex analysis out of Picard's theorem. His paper on "covering surfaces" introduced many of the ideas which are at the root of today's metric geometry - isoperimetric constants, quasi-conformal maps, amenable exhaustions - and used them to derive Picard from the Gauss-Bonnet theorem; the "two" in Picard's theorem is the Euler characteristic of the Riemann sphere.

Tsiolkovskiy pointed out in 1929 that the altitude of an aircraft does not have to be limited to the atmosphere if rocket propulsion was used. This article inspired rocket enthusiasts Korolev and Glushko, and led to development of experimental and military rocketplanes during the 1930's. Both men were sent into prison camps in the purges of the late 1930's and work came nearly to a halt. Stalin released the engineers after the war and set them to absorbing the great technical advances made by the Germans. Immediate post-war work indicated that rocketplanes were inferior to turbojet-powered fighters for military purposes. But work continued on winged spacecraft for launch by ballistic missiles. The first such program, the VKA of 1958-1960, resulted in Myasishchev and Tsybin developing competing designs for launch by Korolev R-7 rockets. In 1960, this work was cancelled, and Korolev's nemesis Chelomei was charged with development of Kosmoplan and Raketoplan spaceplanes of radically different concept. Premier Khrushchev, Chelomei's patron, was overthrown in 1964 and these programs were in turn cancelled. They were replaced by the ambitious Spiral lifting body project of 1966-1976. This in turn was abandoned as too primitive when America embarked on its Space Shuttle program. In response the Soviet leadership decided to build an equivalent and embarked on its largest space project ever. The indigenous MTKVA and LKS designs were rejected in favour of an aerodynamic copy of the shuttle, the Buran. This flew but once before the Soviet Union collapsed. This also ended development work on smaller MAKS and single-stage-to-orbit MKVS spaceplanes.
Follow the links below to learn the awesome, hitherto unrevealed stories and technologies of these fabulous flying machines.
