Scarlett Johansson Hints 'Black Widow' Movie Will Focus on the Heroine's Origin
After producer Kevin Feige confirmed that a standalone film for Black Widow has already been prepared post-"The Avengers", lead actress Scarlett Johansson revealed some tidbits about the plot of the spin-off movie. The 27-year-old actress hinted that the film will be more of a prequel that focuses on the gun-wielding hero's origin.
"I love her origin story. I think it's just such a riveting one...," she said during a recent interview to promote "Avengers". She added, "It's just steeped in history and the richness to shoot in Russia, perhaps... I hope that the fans' voice is loud enough and they want to see a Widow origin story, I know Marvel would be happy to entertain that. We've spoken a lot about it."
Johansson also dished on what the difference is between playing Natasha Romanoff in "Iron Man 2" and "Avengers". She explained, "[In Avengers] you see a little bit about how Natasha joined and it's not that she's fighting for the greater good of humanity. She was almost salvaged by S.H.I.E.L.D. and so she's loyal to that group, to that agency, but only as sort of paid debt."
Feige previously confirmed a Black Widow film to Movieline, "We have already planned her next appearance and where to take the character because we believe in it and we believe in her in a big, big way. When will there be a standalone? Both is what we're heading toward."

UCLA's Holiday looks to the NBA draft
LOS ANGELES - For the past several years, Jrue Holiday's basketball talent has put him on course to play in the NBA. Some would say the 18-year-old has hit the lottery.
Holiday is now looking to hit the lottery again.
"If I'm a lottery pick, I have to take advantage of it," Holiday said Thursday during an on-campus news conference announcing he has made himself eligible for the NBA draft. "You don't get a chance like that every day."
Holiday, who is not hiring an agent for now, did not sound like someone who had definitely played his final game at UCLA, reiterating several times he is "testing the waters."
"It's not for sure that I'm going to go to the NBA," Holiday said. "If I don't go where I want to go (in projections), I can still come back. I'm keeping my options open."
Holiday has until June 15 to withdraw his name from the draft. His father said he could see his son returning if he falls out of the lottery.
"It's a big possibility he would come back," Shawn Holiday said. "You never know.
"It's not like he's leaving because he doesn't want to go to school or we need anything. It's something he always wanted to do."
A supportive Ben Howland sat next to Holiday during the conference. The UCLA coach said NBA executives told him Holiday projects between picks No.10-25 in the first round.
Holiday's stock was once a bit higher but seems to have fallen after an uneven freshman season, in which he averaged 8.5 points, 3.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds.
Part of that might have been that Holiday (6-foot-3, 180 pounds) was playing out of position most the season at shooting guard.
He can begin working out for NBA teams April 30 and will participate in the NBA pre-draft camp in May.
"He's going to test very, very well," Howland said. "I think testing the waters is fine for him. Now it comes down to where in the first round and does that fit in to what he wants. That's the question to be determined."
An even bigger question for UCLA if Holiday follows through is who would play point guard next season. Howland said 6-5 Malcolm Lee might share duties with Jerime Anderson, both of whom were freshmen this past season.
UCLA does not have a guard in its incoming class, signing four forwards and a center. A month-long signing period will begin next Wednesday, but Howland said UCLA might be a scholarship short next season.
"There's not a lot of kids out there waiting around," Howland said. "We're not going to just sign someone to be a body."

Why PPC Agencies Should Include Call Tracking in All AdWords Plans
November 18, 2012
In early 2012, we here at White Shark Media were at a cross roads. We had acknowledged the need for call tracking for quite some time, but the interest to sign up with our call tracking partner wasn't as high as we wanted it to be.
We wanted 90% of all local-based Clients to sign up for dynamic call tracking, which would allow us to optimize AdWords a lot more efficiently.
Our current Clients could see the value in our idea, and they almost unanimously told our Account Executives that it was a great thing to do. However, they just didn't want to pay for it immediately after having signed up for a full AdWords management plan.
We therefore decided to include call tracking, at our expense, in all our AdWords management plans and boy did we see a change. In this post, I'll review some of the thoughts that went through our minds when we chose to include call tracking.
Optimizing for CTR vs. Conversions
A good best practice if you don't have conversion or call tracking, is to rely on your keywords' CTR and ads to determine success.
Even though it's a widely recognized practice, it's flawed in many ways. By solely relying on CTR, you can write ads that are speaking to the majority of searchers.
But by speaking to the majority, you're most likely not influencing anyone enough to make them convert on your website. I've personally seen hundreds of AdWords ads where the ad with the highest clickthrough rate didn't actually result in the highest conversion rate.
It's usually the other way around.
Optimizing Only for CTR is a Great Way to Pay Google More
Even though CTR is a hugely important factor and should always be taken into account when optimizing, you should never focus solely on CTR. By focusing solely on CTR, you're actually only unnecessarily paying Google more money.
The higher the CTR, the more clicks you get, and the more you pay Google. So does this mean that you shouldn't optimize for CTR if you don't have conversion data?
No, not by a long shot. It's always better to have something to optimize towards and if you truly don't have any way of installing tracking (most people do however), then optimizing for CTR can be the lesser of two evils. Optimizing for CTR is better than not having anything to optimize at all.
Missed Opportunities – Customers with Immediate Needs aren't Tracked
Another scenario is when you have a prominent contact form on your website that you're tracking. Novice advertisers might think that this is enough to give you an estimate for what keywords are bringing in conversions.
But the reality is that the visitors that choose to use a contact form are very different from the ones choosing to pick up the phone and calling you.
The visitors that are visiting your site with an immediate need, will definitely call you to get their problem sorted right away. Especially for plumbers or roofer calls; this can be their main source of leads.
This can also reflect within your AdWords campaign if you're solely tracking contact form submissions. All keywords and ads focused on emergency services (for instance, emergency plumbing repair) might see a very low contact form conversion rate. By implementing call tracking, you will be able to track these conversions too and thereby broaden the scope of your otherwise successful AdWords campaign.
Internet Savvy vs. the Average Joe
While more Internet savvy visitors will not shy away from using a contact form, less Internet savvy visitors will most likely pick up the phone and call you instead.
Within your particular industry, the majority of your customers may not be Internet savvy. By optimizing your AdWords campaign based on the number of conversions generated via a contact form, you risk ignoring the majority of your potential customers.
One-to-One vs. Dynamic Call Tracking
When choosing call tracking solutions, I normally recommend either of the following two levels of service:
1) One-to-One Call Tracking
2) Dynamic Call Tracking
One-to-One Call Tracking
One-to-One call tracking means that you're tracking one source per phone number. If you're using one-to-one call tracking for your AdWords campaign, then you would only observe how many calls your entire AdWords campaign generates.
It's not possible to see conversion data for individual campaigns, ad groups or keywords, which is essential for optimizing AdWords campaigns successfully.
If you're unsure about how many calls your campaign is generating, then you can start out with only one-to-one call tracking. This will give you an estimate of how many calls the campaign is generating.
If at any point, you start registering decent call volume (50 calls a month, for example), then I'd recommend you switch to dynamic call tracking.
Dynamic Call Tracking
Dynamic call tracking on the other hand, relies on a piece of JavaScript code within your website. This little piece of code dynamically changes for every search term, keyword, ad, ad group and campaign within your AdWords campaign.
This is where the magic happens. You can now see conversion data for each keyword and ad. This will enable you to find the keyword and ad combination that will generate the largest amount of revenue for you.
For advertisers who are serious about their online marketing endeavors, rest assured I stand behind dynamic call tracking 100%.
Dynamic Call Tracking Pays for Itself
Even though dynamic call tracking can be quite expensive, I haven't seen an instance where it didn't pay off directly in the subsequent AdWords optimization stage.
By knowing exactly what keywords and ads are generating a higher conversion rate, you can then focus on these elements, which will then let your campaign reach higher levels of profit.
Dynamic call tracking is essential when it comes to proper bid management of AdWords campaigns.
Calculate the Estimated Value of a Conversion – and Bid Accordingly
One of the hardest things to carry out in an AdWords account is bid management without a clear cost-per-conversion goal.
By having access to dynamic call tracking data, you can set an estimated value-per-call/conversion and ensure that every one of your keywords are at a profitable level.
You can calculate your estimated value-per-call by finding out roughly how many calls turn into paying customers.
When you know this percentage, you can then calculate your average first time sale (some also calculate the 2nd and 3rd sale). By identifying these two numbers, you can measure your estimated value-per-call.
100 Calls * 25% (Average Closing Sale: $100) = $2,500 in Revenue
You can read more about how to perform bid management in AdWords based on conversion data in my article on SEODesk.org
We Couldn't be Without It
By implementing call tracking in our AdWords management plans, we became more successful in our firm's overall mission and our Account Executives had fewer frustrations in their day-to-day jobs.
Our Account Executives now have access to as much data as possible and can talk directly with their Clients about the results without any need to guess or estimate. It's all in the reports and it has really helped us lower our churn-rate for local businesses.

For the majority of the movie I thought the characters Joy and Lani were much stronger than Maria, though by the end of the movie Maria's character was very developed and she was just as strong as the other two.
This movie reminded me frequently of the best movies of Robert Altman, such as Nashville and Short Cuts
The acting's so natural in this coming-of-age story, it's like watching a documentary. And the story is equally realistic and riveting. It's also one of the few movies that knows how to end -- nothing tacked on, no loose ends forced together.

How to get the very most out of Facebook
There's lots one can do to enhance a brand and attract fans
March 1, 2012
Facebook is the most important media phenomenon of this decade, and a big part of that comes from allowing its users to become publishers in their own right. Every user gets to express herself or himself in their own terms.
That's true for businesses as well.
But not everyone does it well. Far too many businesses set up Facebook pages and then promptly forget about them. The problem: They don't get the dynamics of Facebook as a means of spreading the value of their brands to new universes.
Meet Bill DeRosa of
Talking Finger, a social media agency.
In this webinar, Bill walks Media Life readers through all the ways they can improve Facebook pages. The webinar is titled "Getting the very most out of Facebook."
As Bill explains, a fully optimized Facebook page can attract new customers while deepening ties with existing customers.
But it does even more. It turns fans into advocates for your brand, and those fans share that advocacy with friends.
It allows you to become a thought leader, the go-to authority in your market. And it builds brand loyalty and trust through the transparency it brings to your brands.
In this webinar, you will learn:
-How to create and enhance your page's look
-How to gain greater exposure through apps, tabs and plug-ins
-How to use analytics to define your strategy
-What to post–and what not to post
To illustrate his insights, Bill used the Facebook page belonging to Media Life, a page that's clearly in need of help (See it here at

Tourists post tips to beat trek fees
Relevant offers
Digital Living
International travellers are using social media sites to post advice online on how to illegally camp along many of the southern walking tracks.
Department of Conservation programme manager Annie Wallace said there had been two separate incidents in the past week of people caught illegally camping on the Kepler Track, and this behaviour was increasing.
Five international tourists attempted to walk an alternative route on to the Milford Track to avoid paying hut and boat fees, but ended up camping in an emergency shelter because they were not properly prepared.
Ms Wallace said the group had been fortunate to escape serious injury. "They were lucky with the weather, if it had become cold or wet it could have been a very different story."
The tourists had been charged for their illegal use of the emergency shelter, she said.
Social media sites like Facebook were causing some of the problems, with backpackers posting advice online on how to illegally camp along many of the southern walking tracks, she said.
Ms Wallace yesterday warned visitors to follow procedure and pay up on the Milford Track, for the sake of their safety.
Booked through DOC, the Milford Track hut and boat fees cost about $305 per adult, but track licence holder Ultimate Hikes charges between $1830 and $3020 for guided tramps depending on the season and accommodation option.
The cost imposed by DOC was enforced solely to pay for upkeep of the huts, preservation of the track and safety costs, Ms Wallace said.
Southland Tramping Club president Raewyne Daly said she was not aware of trampers illegally walking Milford Track, but believed anyone who did so was endangering themselves and others on the track.
The huts were there to keep trampers safe and to prevent unnecessary rescue operations, with regular checkpoints, she said.
She did not believe it was cost driving people to attempt the track on the sly, claiming the walk was reasonably priced.
"I don't think the prices are outrageous because, you know, a lot goes into the huts."
International tourists who could not afford to pay hut rates should prepare and budget better for their trip, she said.
"They come over here and they have money to spend, so they need to see if they can prioritise what they spend it on."

As revenues from traditional voice and messaging channels continue to dwindle, operators are reassessing their role in the digital communication value chain, and defining what value they can bring to their customers.
Of course "customers" increasingly includes partners as well as end users, as operators and digital service providers join forces to bring new services and tariffs to market.
The value of customer context data
Operators are adapting to ensure they remain relevant to subscribers whose expectations are shifting upwards, exponentially.
As part of this refocusing exercise, many operators are putting renewed attention on extracting insights from their customer data.
By unlocking this knowledge, operators are of course in a position to upsell and cross-sell their own services more effectively. But the new revenue opportunity comes from selling this customer data, or analysis of the information, to third parties for advertising or market research.
The benefits to operator and any partners they choose to share information with are clear. The stumbling block for operators comes in framing a positive case for third party data sharing to their subscribers, who trust their operator to protect their data.
As a society, we are accustomed to target advertising and, in many cases, we see the value that it can bring to us. For example, it's second nature to browse through Amazon's 'Recommended' list, which shows us products we might be interested in based on our purchase history. Even our Google searches are contextualized based on our location, presenting us with relevant results.
Operators need to be sensitive towards end customers' concerns about how their personal information is used for marketing purposes, whilst actively demonstrating the benefits of making their mobile data more available. Because, as has been already demonstrated, once consumers see the value that such schemes bring to them personally they are much less concerned about privacy issues (on an anonymized and aggregate basis).
Data Sharing
Operators should be proactive in talking about the value of data sharing with customers, and be transparent in setting the opt-in parameters.
This could simply be giving the operator permission to share more information about who and where they are. In return, the customer may receive more personalized offers and deals to their phone from third party companies who want to reach them.
There is a value to enhanced data mining to all in the value chain and the precedent for personalized marketing has already been set.
As trusted guardians of data, operators simply need to strike partnerships that will offer genuine value, and then be confident in making the case for data sharing to their customers. This market is for the taking, and operators have a chance to reinvent themselves as digital service providers, opening up lucrative new revenue streams.
The Veris Convergent Context-awareness Center (C3) is a Big Data appliance from AsiaInfo, which enables operators to make relevant and personalized marketing offers and timely policy changes to precisely targeted audiences at the ideal moment for each individual customer. This capability is based on Veris C3's sophisticated Data Behavior Insights and real-time knowledge of each customer's context.

The Grip and Jail's Bushhouse attraction, positively reawakening in the shrouded candlelight
Nobody is sure what the goal of Grip and Jail's Bushhouse is. It was once a fun place with interesting activities, but some stuck-up paralegals had it removed to steal some of the fun from Disneyland.

Demi Moore And Ellen Barkin Battle It Out
Ellen Barkin and Demi Moore go at it in Sam Levinson's Another Happy Day, a family drama in which confrontations erupt between Ellen and Demi, who's now shacked up with Ellen's ex (played by Thomas Haden Church) amidst blistering resentments.
One of the bigger battles happens when the two ladies go after each other, Dynasty-style.
At a screening last night, Barkin noted that there was a stunt coordinator on the set as per union rules, but he was showing them all kinds of karate moves and other elaborate stuff that they couldn't do, so they took things into their own fuming hands.
"Demi wrapped her legs around me and started strangling me," Barkin remembered with admiration.

United States Patent no. 7,898,078, issued on March 1, was assigned to International Business Machines Corp. Two sets of conductor fins are formed on a topmost surface of stacked semiconductor chips are electrically isolated from each other and function as radiators that dissipate heat from the stacked semiconductor chips. Conductive wiring structures are formed on each set of conductor fins to supply electrical power and electrical grounding to the stacked semiconductor chips. Since the semiconductor fins above provide electrical power supply and electrical grounding, a higher fraction of electrical connections between the bottommost surface of the stacked semiconductor chips and the packaging substrate may be employed for input and output signal transmission without adverse impact on heat dissipation of the stacked semiconductor chips. The conductive fins function as power connectors.
