I had an interesting conversation with a digital marketing executive earlier this week. During the conversation she mentioned how she envisioned social engagement as a pyramid of sorts, with mainstream media entities at the top, social influencers in the middle and individual brand ambassadors at the bottom.
"Media" refers to traditional media outlets and personalities. Anything from a broadcast television channel to a print publication to a celebrity.
"Social influencers" refers to influential websites or personalities in the social media space. Anything from a blogger to a discussion forum to a Twitter profile.
"Brand ambassadors" refers to an individual consumer that is willing to express their thoughts on a particular brand. That could be me or you or anyone else for that matter.
This particular executive that I was speaking with manages digital marketing for an enterprise-level brand, so the conversation focused on how many such brands do a fairly good job of tapping into the top of the pyramid. In other words, their PR relationships and advertising partnerships afford them the ability to access major media outlets and celebrities in a manner that can facilitate mass-market social media engagement. Big brands have also been successfully cultivating and engaging with brand ambassadors via traditional CRM methods and channels (e.g. call center communications and email messaging) as well as social profiles that often have a massive following. It's that middle section – the social influencers – that has often proven to be an area of difficulty, typically because of the manual and ongoing efforts required to identify said influencers and then build meaningful rapport.
That, in my opinion, is the situation that most Fortune 500 caliber brands find themselves in with regards to social media engagement.
Interestingly, I find that the small to medium-sized business is usually suffering from opposite problem. Namely:
- They completely fail to leverage mainstream media in any way
- They fail to use email and other CRM channels to engage and "turn on" potential brand ambassadors
I myself am guilty of this in that I have never attempted to get a mention in a mainstream publication, an appearance on a television program, or any other form of mainstream media engagement. And I know that I'm not alone.
As for turning on potential brand ambassadors, I know from experience that even small, local establishments can use CRM and social profiles to facilitate the transformation from regular old customer to full-blown social brand ambassador. And yet, I seem to be constantly confronted with business owners that have failed to leverage this methodology to cultivate and benefit from the potential brand ambassadors in their midst.
Regardless of the size of the business you work for, ask yourself if you're fully leveraging the social media engagement hierarchy. And if you're not, get to work on filling the gaps.

With Congressional hearings focused on the IRS targeting of conservative groups, the wiretapping of AP reporters' phones and the actions in Benghazi, it looks like scandal is surrounding President Barack Obama.
Gunn wrote:
Here's a sampling of what MLive/Chronicle readers had to say:
Who in the world would want a second term as president of the United States?
Recent history tells us that nothing good can come of it.
This unfortunate tradition goes all the way back to Lyndon Johnson, if you count the 15 months he completed for John F. Kennedy as his first term, and the full term he won in 1964 as his second.
The U.S. expanded its role in the Vietnam War, thousands came home in body bags and the people turned on Johnson to the point that he had to cancel plans to run again in 1968.
I find it amazing that those that support Obama don't find the government's action both offensive and criminal. If Benghazi, the IRS and the AP had been discovered while a Republican was in office the main stream media and everyone on the left would be demanding people be held accountable. Where is the outrage now? I don't think the majority of America has any idea how far reaching these scandals truly are. If you are only getting your news from ABC, CBS or NBC, you haven't been given 1/10th of the information available. Everyone needs to educate themselves before it is too late to save our country.
It was obvious that Obama was going to be "the worst President ever" to the Republicans when they clearly stated that before he had ever taken office. The IRS scandal is a continuation of stupid team building activities that have been going on for several administrations. To blame Obama for not fixing things ignores that the people blaming him are the very people elected to change things for the better.
A better question is; can the country survive his legacy. The historians of the future will mark the Obama presidency as the point at which a once great nation began a slide towards third world status. A nation dependent on the government from cradle to grave for every need, is a nation headed to fiscal and moral bankruptcy.
So what do you think Obama's legacy will be. Why are second terms so difficult for presidents?

The explosion of mobile applications and devices has lead to an extremely crowded and fragmented market leaving mobile developers searching for new opportunities to differentiate and improve the user experience. Increasingly, successful mobile apps are supported by data feeds and services in the cloud such as databases, messaging, location, and social networking status. At the same time, enterprises are realizing the importance of the mobile channel and are moving beyond devices and applications devising new strategies to broaden their reach. Extending enterprise data and services to mobile developers via APIs is an approach enterprises are increasingly pursuing. These macro trends are driving demand for mobile cloud services platforms.
Mobile cloud services platforms are software suites that help enterprises create and manage APIs that extend data to mobile developers. These platforms also help mobile developers integrate APIs into their applications and support the network side or back-end of their apps. Over the past few years, vendors have focused on either servicing mobile developers with mobile back-end–as-a-service (mBaaS) solutions or enterprises with API management platforms. These types of platforms are quickly merging into a single offering connecting mobile developers with enterprise data and back-end services.
We expect the market for mobile cloud services platforms to grow from $579 million USD in 2013 to $4.4 billion USD in 2017. A large portion of the revenues generated from the market will be from API management and discovery services, where as back-end services will comprise a shrinking share of revenues.
The myriad of Internet connected mobile devices that continue to come to market has overwhelmed content providers and enterprises in their efforts to support multiple device types with integrated applications. To overcome these challenges a new computing architecture is emerging that separates the client side UI from the content and server side logic. Mobile cloud services platforms are playing into this trend by providing uniform data feed and services that allow application developers to focus on building the client side of the application. This reduces cost as mobile application developers typically have limited experience with server side software and vice versa. The primary value proposition of mobile cloud services providers is helping enterprises "mobile enable" their data and helping mobile developers simplify the process of creating a back-end for their apps.
The expanding opportunity for mobile cloud services platform is attracting numerous competitors and the marketplace is quickly becoming crowded. The space has attracted significant amounts of venture capital and Fortune 500 companies, such as Facebook, Intel, and Ca are acquiring market players. Development tools vendors, enterprise software vendors, SaaS, IaaS, and start-ups will battle to influence and control the mobile channel. Vendors are competing in a number of segments of the value chain including discovery, aggregation, developer support, utilities, and API creation and management. Some areas of the value chain will generate higher revenues where others will be much more strategic.

EMMYS: Lena Dunham On 'Girls'
Charlie Mason is an AwardsLine contributor.
A year ago, you'd have been hard-pressed to find anyone who had ever heard of Lena Dunham. Now, of course, the 26-year-old New Yorker's name is one of the household variety. Her Judd Apatow-produced HBO series, Girls, didn't just earn its creator-writer-director-leading lady rave reviews, the pop-culture phenom also sparked discussions of nepotism and race — since she and two of her co-stars come from distinguished families, and there's not a person of color among the cast.
AWARDSLINE: Congratulations on the nominations we think you're going to get.
LENA DUNHAM: Thank you! That's something I still can't wrap my brain around.
AWARDSLINE: No? C'mon. Would you say you have a healthy interest in a nod, a mild obsession, or would you rather I hadn't jinxed you by bringing it up?
DUNHAM: The Jew in me wants to go with the third. I'm so focused on shooting Season 2 that it's hard for me to [worry about it]. That being said, it's always nice to have the fantasy of the dress and getting to tell your parents how much you love them in a context that really matters — all those things [you] imagine when you're standing in the shower.
AWARDSLINE: Is it a relief to just concentrate on work?
DUNHAM: It's the best. If I wasn't working, I can just imagine myself under my covers, hiding from people, reading every obscure blog entry possible.
AWARDSLINE: Would it be more meaningful for you to be nominated as an actor, director or writer?
DUNHAM: I've never thought of myself as an actor, so somebody recognizing me for that would be a real shock.
AWARDSLINE: Is that because the parts that you've played so far, in Girls and your breakthrough indie feature Tiny Furniture, have been versions of you?
DUNHAM: Yeah. I always say that I can play sort of six variations on one girl, all of whom are a variation on me. Maybe I'll think of myself as an actor if, like, I do a corset drama.
AWARDSLINE: Compared to a lot of the people who'd be in your Emmy categories, you're relatively inexperienced. Is that actually an asset in your work?
DUNHAM: I think so. I've been really encouraged… to stay in my own bubble. [No one's] given me a lecture on how TV works, so it's been a huge gift to just [create] without any limitations to the form. That's like, 'It's OK to cast your friend from camp … it's OK to write a 30-minute episode with a 15-minute scene.'
AWARDSLINE: Does Lena the actress ever frustrate Lena the director?
DUNHAM: Definitely. Even more, I frustrate myself as a writer. There are certain things that I'll think, 'Well, that would be really fun to play … if somebody else was playing this character.'
AWARDSLINE: Do you worry that, now that you've 'made it,' you'll stop having the kind of misadventures that inspire your writing?
DUNHAM: That was my fear. [I harbored] an illusion: Nailing down what you want to do professionally would save you from certain interpersonal anxieties, and [now] I don't think that's true. Maybe the opposite is.
AWARDSLINE: With all the praise that's been heaped on the show, there's also been some backlash. You seem to be bearing up well.
DUNHAM: Of course, it's challenging when people are attacking your show … especially the 'race on television' dialogue. But I was like, 'Well, there aren't enough people of color on television, and if my show is the one that gets people talking about it, I'm willing to take that one for the team.' As for the well-known parents thing, we laughed about that in my house. People were like, 'She's Laurie Simmons' daughter!' I wanted to say, 'I'd like you to give me an explanation in two sentences of who Laurie Simmons is and see if you can even do that.' I do get it, though. It might seem like a crazy coincidence that we've got a David Mamet child and we've got Brian Williams' child, but I think, once people watch the show, they forget who their parents might be.
AWARDSLINE: Yeah, if you're watching Allison and thinking of Brian Williams…
DUNHAM: … Then you have your own special Brian Williams obsession that needs to be treated!
AWARDSLINE: Is there anyone you're afraid you'll forget from your potential acceptance speech that you'd like to thank now to be safe?
DUNHAM: My grandmother would be very angry at me for even allowing myself to believe that this could happen. But you can't give any exciting speech without misremembering things. I gave a graduation speech in high school where I thanked, like, every single person except the school principal who was retiring that year. It definitely felt like about as low as I could sink in the 'forgetting people's names' category, so I think I've already nailed this one!
Some of the complaints about Lena Dunham have been sexist.
True, but the majority of the complaints have been from other women. Guys either like her, or don't care at all. Women are ticked that she's getting her shot, and they're 25 and are out in the cold. Worse, they care that a difficult to look at girl is getting her shot, while they look the same and expect to get passed over by model types. You expect pretty girls to get the breaks, but when one of your own gets it, the claws come out.
It took reading about two sentences of her interview to see she has both a sense of humor and very good timing. I know squat about her show — this made me want to watch. Good for her.
Where to begin? First, I personally know several men who HATE the show, especially fathers. Your theory that guys either like her or don't care is weirdly dismissive as if Lena and her show aren't worth male attention. Secondly, "a difficult to look at girl.". Seriously? I find her to be adorable and the most compekling thing about the show. The whole "claws come out" think is the same old tired perpetuation of sexist stereotype. Get a clue.
I also feel that one shouldn't feel compelled to add people of color for the sake of being politically corect. HOWEVER IS IT REALLY EASIER TO FIND A 26 YEAR OLD VIRGIN IN NYC(BROOKLYN NO LESS) THANK PEOPLE OF COLOR????
Get lost.
Hi, NYC is full of people with color. Hispanic, blacks, Asians. The way they shoot this show doesn't make me think New York at all. Sex And The City didn't have any people of color as main characters but they had a way of making their surroundings full of colorful people.
Great show.
I love Lena Dunham. I don't care that she has no minority leads.
I do care that she and her staff refer to defecating as "Taking Obama to the White House." Get it? From The Atlantic: "That is 'funny' because the President has brown skin, and brown is the color of feces. There are other examples of her [Arfin's], ah, insensitivity on these issues. A reader sent a long this screencap of when Arfin favorited a swastika tweet."
Also, when she does have a minority character, she does everything she can to rip minorities, specifically minority women who guys are apparently passing her up for.
The Asian character she slammed, the line about "it was all Indian girls," the black homeless guy, the line about —
"I judge white guys who date Asian girls."
Well, Lena, you're not the only one, but how about this? I date white girls who judge white girls for dating Asian girls? Because only fug girls worry about the lack of white guys to date. I support your "art," I loved TINY FURNITURE, but have some respect for your President.
Those quotes don't prove shes a racist. She wouldn't have Donald Glover on if she were a racist. Also, Donald Glover probably wouldn'y join the show if she made racist statements.
"date" should read "judge."
Ha, I wrote my post before I read yours. My issue is with the staff writers and the blatant racism in the show. My jaw literally dropped at the end of the first character with the "smile, girl" homeless, crazy black guy. A show can have an all white cast. A show shouldn't have an all white cast where the characters routinely make racist quips, the staff writer is a white woman who openly talks about using the n word and makes racist comments, and several of the minor minority characters are cringe worthy stereotypes. Girls makes 2 Broke Girls look culturally sensitive, and that's hard to do.
Wait, you're holding Lena Dunham responsible for a column one of her staff writers wrote before she was even employed by the show? What kind of bullshit is that? I don't even like "Girls," but it's bizarre watching Dunham getting held to a standard that literally no one else in the entertainment industry is.
you include no context as to where/how these things were said– really, you should have some links when you post this kind of stuff.
It's sad that Jemima Kirke and Lena Dunham have never really acted beyond Tiny Furniture, yet they both act Allison Williams off the screen. Allison Williams might be the single worst actor in the history of television. She is wooden in every single season. Just ruins the show for me.
It's her character… and she nails it.
Every single season, huh?
I wish I could "like" this.
Lena Dunham may be a house hold name in parts of NY but that's it lol.
I was thinking the same thing. No one knows who this chick is, outside of maybe this site and the 45 people who have seen Tiny Furniture.
Guess what people, minorities are just like white people. Just write a human experience and cast some people that don't look like you. No one is looking for a race episode, we're looking for representation visually. The poster for girls is ridiculous and sad since Lena is 23 years old. Come on. Hearing her on NPR was horrifying. "Minorities are not my experience." Are human beings your experience?
Minorities are not her experience.
Going out of her way to trash them on her show seems to be her experience, however.
Why are you crying for Lena to include somebody who looks like you in her show? We're just schvartzes to those people. Make your own movie and shoot it yourself. Reflect your OWN reality instead of crying to be in someone else's. Have some dignity.
Lena Dunham has no responsibility to cast minorities just because they exist. It's a show about Upper East Side white kids, hence the casting of a bunch of white girls.
Gee, I wonder, if an African American made a show with no whites in it, then compared whites to birdsh!t, and said "Whites are not my experience," would we see anyone in the media praising that show?
Or would they be labeling it as "controversial," "exclusionary," "or "racially biased?"
Outside of New York this show has no significance. This is not a show about Generation Y. It's not the "voice" of a generation" unless you think that the Millenials are all white girls from money.
This is strictly a program aimed squarely at a white suburban audience and it's a lie to describe it any other way.
Good lord….please stop acting like you've been victimized because you don't think the show has "representation". Go watch BET or anything by Tyler Perry if you're so offended.
What reality are you living in? Clearly, you're own. Grow an intellect and have a spark a real discussion next time. Good lord.
You've said it.
Do you happen to have the link for that interview? I'm a huge fan of hers and if she really did said that, well, that's just sad.
Girls simply reflects everything that's wrong with the White Industrial Entertainment Complex. Dunham is just a young heiress-cog, so I don't blame her.
It's just blindness all the way around in the industry. Nothing can and will change that.
She looks EXACTLY like Judd Apatow. It's uncanny.
Your comment not only made me laugh – but it is so much funnier than ANYTHING that has been on GIRLS. You should be writing the show. Don't want that to come off as sarcasm – it's TRUE. Funny post. Horrible show, Horrible little girl.
Your comment chillingly nails what nepotism is REALLY about. People want to help "their own". Being "related" is when someone looks at you and sees themselves. And that happens a lot more for some people in Hollywood than it does for others. Or, as Lena puts it: "Minorities are not my experience." Obviously.
So it's not that no one knows who Laurie Simmons' daughter is. It's that Laurie Simmons has enough privilege and access to create a life for her daughter where she A) has the self-esteem to believe that people will give a s**t about her tiny movie (because they will, and frankly, they should); B) has access to the resources necessary to realize that tiny story; C) has access to the resources to find an outlet for that tiny story at SxSW; D) is exposed to a very very powerful person who looks like her, see "something" in her, and because of that, E) move to the front of the line at HBO who turns on the hype machine, gets the NY Times in the bag and F) become the new Voice Of A Generation.
Done and done.
A great story. No one's saying she doesn't deserve it, but let's be real, it's not gonna happen to someone from Washington Heights.
It is unfortunate that you blame her for having had opportunities. She deserves the praise she has received, she writes, directs, stars and produces a very poignant show. It is not for everyone and does not relate to everyone's experience but to make it sound like she doesn't work hard and is handed everything is just absurd. I know plenty of people her age who have come from families equally as privileged and aren't doing anything with their lives. Because her mom is a successful artists you've never heard of doesn't mean she was handed the keys to a castle.
I think nailed it's point was not that Lena Dunham doesn't deserve her success, or that plenty of people just as privileged as she is have wasted their opportunities, but the opposite – that some people – not a lot, but surely a few – who are just as talented as Lena Dunham – maybe even more so! – didn't have her opportunities and therefore may never be heard from.
Certainly Lena Dunham is talented and works hard – would she have gotten this far, this fast, if she was a nobody? We'll never know.
Her tacit approval of the disgusting racial remarks leveled at Barack Obama are completely unacceptable.
The season finale tonight was downright awful.
A household name? That's one of the funniest things I've ever read on this site.
I wanted to like the show, especially since people have been raving about it. Too bad it sucks. It felt like I had seen all of those characters and situations before in previous movies and tv shows. It didn't feel like it was bringing anything new to the table. Now that I know that she's only 26, I know why. The show is slow, bland and unoriginal in my opinion. Felt like a dumded down Sex in the City, but with slackers. Maybe I'm too old for this show and it's for a younger audience. Nah, it just sucks.
"The Jew in me" Yawn. The over-representation of Jews in the industry continues. It's beyond tired. Can someone else please take over? Like the Chinese? Or Latinos?
Jews got into the industry because other industries were closed to us due to overt anti-semitism. If you've got a problem with "over-representation," then blame the white Christians at the turn of the last century who wouldn't let "one of them" into other professions.
That said, too many writers and directors who can't get that the rest of the country isn't Jewish or from NY and LA is a problem. I am Jewish and from New York and I don't need to constantly look in a mirror. I'd love to see shows set in other places with other kinds of characters. But it isn't axiomatic that "over-representation" in the industry is the problem. It's failure of imagination.
There is an upsetting sense of arrogance and entitlement to this girl that ironically reminds one of the early/mid-90's Judd Apatow — back when he was one of the most insufferable and annoying people in Hollywood and before his "Cable Guy" smackdown. Still, she's five hundred times the director Bret Ratner is, and eight million times the writer Doug Ellin is, so I'm excited to see where she takes her talent and I hope she makes a lot more money than those substandard creatives.
BUT the loathsome attitude has got to go. She seems to almost be assuming an Emmy win in this article. Does she not have a real publicist to tell her to be a bit humble?
This whole interview is a jinx fest when it comes to her nominations. I'm sure she'll get at least one (for writing the Pilot), but was it really necessary to focus so so much on something that isn't even that certain like say a Desperate Housewives lovefest during the first season or a Breaking Bad bonanza this year?
THIS IS GREAT COMEDY !! If people don't understand it, to bad- comedy doesn't have to be P.C. it has to be funny Keep up the good work !!
What I don't get is, of ALL shows, why is this show the one getting slammed for lacking minority characters? I don't watch it- and I'm really honestly wondering.
I am not concerned with the politics surrounding this show, whether its the nepotism, sexism, lack of minorities, what it does or doesn't say about a small sample of women of a particular generation. I do not find the humor to be "offensive." What I am offended by and concerned with, is that Girls is a terrible television show. I've tried giving it a shot based on the hype, and I wanted to like it. I wanted to be a fan of this show. I'm not. It stinks. The writing is awful, the acting is awful, the directing is awful… It's a bad show, period. This is what is offensive about Girls. It is cringe worthy (not in a ground breaking social commentary way) to the point of giving me douche chills.
A blast of stinky, crazy, unbridled banter and unabashed brains in the writing is what we all need from our art… like great American theater of the mid-century… from the gutter to golden horizons of the human mind… It's all very emotional and fragile… Which leaves all the other neophyte, race, nepotism and beauty bashing comments mute. Long live the work Lena and Judd… I can still watch "Freaks and Geeks" without cringing. As for shows like "My So Called Life"… I really can't say the same.
I think you mean that the comments are "moot" not "mute".
I'm African-American and I can enjoy a show that has no minorities on it (I loved Cheers, Seinfeld, and every Woody Allen movie). I like Lena's show – the narcissism of the characters is kind of entertaining, although I can see it getting a little tiresome if they don't change it up a little.
However, even I get weary of the monolothic white programming on the 5 networks. I don't think white people who are dismissive of this complaint fully realize just how few representations exist for non-whites. Someone always names two or three shows as if that means the problem doesn't exist, but in terms of seeing the experiences of non-white people in series television, there really isn't much.
You have entire networks that can go entire seasons with only shows about white people. It's the reason BET was created in the first place (for all the posters who I know were going to start shouting "What about BET! We don't have WET!" Well, yes you do times 5). Without BET we'd have even less. Just looking at the cold hard numbers. How many shows do you see about the experiences of non-white people year to year? Few, if any. It's not unusual for an entire TV season to go by without any new shows about non-whites on any of the 5 networks. Can you imagine a season with no new shows about white people? It's a legitimate complaint, but I think Lena got the brunt of it because she's viewed as being from a privileged and insular background and now she gets her own TV show. Personally, I like her sensibility and wish her the best.
Having seen both Tiny Furniture and Girls, I have to say I like Lena Dunham. However, is it mean to say that she seems just a little self-indulgent? I don't know, maybe I just don't get her style or I'm subconsciously jealous. Or maybe she's self-indulgent. I still like Girls though, don't get me wrong!
It's not only laughable but patently offensive that she would claim that not including actors an characters of color on her show was "taking one for the team" to promote discussion of there being not enough actors on color on tv. As though it's some kind of selfless sacrifice for the good of minorities that she is somehow championing by not including them? That doesn't pass the laugh test.
I still dont understand why THIS show gets so much flack for being racist? Does no one remember "Friends"? That was on for 10 years and watched by tens of millions of people. No one dared to wish Lisa Kudrow was Latina back then.
There were plenty of complaints that a show could be set in NYC without minority leads. I rationalized it as a science fiction show set in an alternate universe.
Hoping season two gets back to what makes the show work… It's brutal honesty. The last 3 or 4 episodes felt tonally wrong like they wanted to be sex and the city and more likeable rather than cling to the painful funny truth. In those last 4 episodes, all but the finale were directed by other people rather than lena herself. She needs to take full control of everything again and stop listening to the online chatter.
No. That scene where Adam calls out Hannah was brutally honest in episode 10. That scene in episode 9 with
Marnie and Hannah was very dark.
Lena Dunham = Daughter of Laurie Simmons
Allison Williams = Daughter of Brian Williams
Zosia Mamet = Daughter of David Mamet
But I'm sure they've earned their opportunities.
Please explain to me how any of these relationships would make anyone at HBO care about who any of them are.
Brian Williams daughter? Really? That's some sort of huge step through the door? Allison was discovered online by Judd Apatow. You really think he gives a crap about Brian Williams?
Is David Mamet one of the producers or writers on the show? No. So what's the value of having Zosia (a previously established actress) on the show? Maybe because she's talented?
In any of the promotional material, did HBO ever mention any of this stuff? No. Because it's totally irrelevant.
Did knowing they might come from places more familiar with the industry possibly crack open a few doors for them? Of course.
I got my first job at a grocery store because my sister worked there the summer before. Is that something unique or even the slightest bit outrageous?
Because from what I can tell, my sister gave me a better in to that job than any of these women got from the list you mentioned.
I think the discussion of diversity being represented on television is a good one, but that the shots taken at Girls are completely misguided.
The source of the problem is that there are not enough opportunities for minority writers in television to better express that diversity.
I'm a Caucasian writer from Ohio, and that's the sensibility I have in my writing. I would be kind of foolish to write anything else, and I often deal with that ignorance with my Caucasian characters.
Comedy is also not my strength, so I don't try to write that either.
What's the old adage? Write what you know. It's true, there's a way to know a lot of things you might not have grown up knowing… but the life experience of people of other races is a stretch.
It's out of respect for my own ignorance that I don't attempt to write about an experience I could not possibly fully understand. I am not purposely excluding any color or creed from the worlds I create, and often the race of my characters actually doesn't matter.
After all, are there cries to have Caucasian writers or actors on Tyler Perry shows? I don't think so. Certainly not from me. It totally makes sense that his writers might be predominantly African American as well as his casts.
I would completely support better efforts by the WGA to get more minority voices in writing rooms and in showrunner chairs, as well as SAG efforts to demand more jobs for minority actors.
I think GIRLS is simply another symptom of a much different problem. Their lack of experience, age, and coveted spot on HBO just rubbed a few people the wrong way.
Maybe there should be something like a "Rooney" rule like they have in the NFL. The networks MUST consider a certain number of pilots written by minorities every season. They can't be compelled to pick them up, but getting them in the room and getting them read is a big part of opening up those opportunities.
Show is EXCELLENT. And got better from pilot.
Super funny, awkward, poignant. Episode where she went home was great. And beautifully shot.
And dude who plays Adam is from another planet of good, he elevates all his scenes. What a find.
Can't wait for next season!

Sherried Chicken Breasts
We worked in a nice Florida restaurant one winter where this was the most popular item on the menu.
Yield: Serves 4.
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
InstructionsBone, skin and halve the chicken breasts. Place in a baking dish, but do not overlap. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Pour melted butter over each piece, rubbing it in with the back of a spoon. Pour sherry over the chicken.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place in a 400 degrees F oven for 30 minutes. When done, the chicken will be white and spring back when pressed with finger. (Do not overcook, or the breasts will be dry and the flavor lost.)
Pour off the liquid from the baking pan and save. Keep the chicken warm while preparing the sauce.
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1-1/2 cups light cream
- liquid from baking pan (3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
InstructionsCook the butter and flour together for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken liquid from the baking pan and the cream. Cook over medium heat until smooth and thick, stirring constantly.
Spread the sauce over the chicken breasts; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and paprika. Return to the oven and bake until the surface is golden brown - about 5 minutes.

Customer Question
1) For five days I've not been able to attach document files to e-mail. The error message is "Ouch...There's a problem." I have sent multiple debug messages and have heard nothing. I can attach photo files.
I am using a Mac-0S-10. I did find one document I could attach but not one I wanted currently.
For the last month or so there have been many glitches and crashes with Firefox.
I've downloaded recent Firefox updates. What's happening?
2) I'm frozen out of my Firefox e-mail and am currently using Safari where I guess I'm signed in for a while longer on this computer. A few days ago I changed my password XXXXX make it more rebust. The problem arose after that. More than 20 times I've tried to enter my current & past pass words & nothing works. Also I correctly answer my personal question and it won't accept that--nor will it give me my second question to try.
Each time I try multiple times I'm locked out for 12 hours. I appreciate the security
but I'm confounded as to how to reactivate my Yahoo e-mail.
I'd very much appreciate your help! Karen

My name isXXXXX am one of the experts who will assist you today!
Originally you stated, you were having an issue attaching files..
Then you went on to say, you are having issues getting into your yahoo account.
Currently, does your password XXXXX work and allow you into your yahoo account?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 5 years ago.
I have two separate problems.
I'm afraid to log out of Safari which is currently allowing me 2 weeks of access--I don't know when the 2 weeks is up but I've not had to sign into Safari for some time. I'm afraid of
losing complete access to the Internet by trying to log in on Safari.
Are my "favorites", "contacts" and e-mail folders held in my computer or by Yahoo!?
replied 5 years ago.
They are held by yahoo. Unless you paid to upgrade to yahoo plus, or.. You have yahoo through sbc global, or At&T..
You can still access yahoo through safari though.. Correct?
if so. We Should be able to go inside yahoo itself, from safari.. And change your password XXXXX it runs out ..
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 5 years ago.
I do still have access through Safari.
Have you reviewed what they ask? I imagine it is the same Yahoo template I went through. How exactly can I change my password XXXXX Safari if it won't accept anything I type in? See if I lose access to my account I'll lose all the folders, etc I listed below plus all "sent" e-mails, etc. From my perspective (and I'm certainly not well versed in computers) it appears to be a dangerous move.
Is there no way to communicate with Yahoo! about this?
replied 5 years ago.
You do still have access through safari.. Excellent..
Then what we need to do.. Is immediately check and change your password XXXXX inside the account..
Not from outside.
The fact is, your going to lose access in less then two weeks. We have to fix it now, before that happens.
SO.. log into yahoo, then
lets update your security questions, that way we can rest the password.. To do so.
Sign into your Yahoo! account.
Click on your name at the top of the page and select Account Info from the pull-down list. You will be required to verify your current password.
Under Sign-In and Security, click Update password XXXXX reset info.
You can choose one of the security questions we have made available or your can choose your own.
Be sure to click Save after you have provided your new information.

Yes, you are right time is of the essence. I understand what you are saying and hope that it will.
Would it be ok if I reset the Safrai password XXXXX questions after copying a number of important e-mails I've got filed on Yahoo in case they are lost in the process? That will take me considerable time. Can I stay connected to your service or pick up the service again after the transfer?

Yes, I want to change my security questions. But:
I clicked on my name, as I've done before with Yahoo. To get to "My Questions" I have to first verify my password XXXXX Yahoo on Safari--this is the same system which has locked me out of resetting my password. They exit me if I try too many unspecified times.

Thank you D.,
For days I've been trying the "I forgot my password" link. It will offer me only one of my security questions which is simple & I know the answer to. It rejects all forms of my answer. I can't ask to be prompted for the second one.
I've not tried on Mozilla(or is that the same as Firefox? but have, once again just tried on Firefox.
I was just trying an alternative unused e-mail address I have & went through all the steps. I answered 15 of the scrambled letter/number patterns and it took that many for it to accept one--I did NOT make that many mistakes--I always get it right on the first try. Do you think Yahoo is not reading my computer? In any case I don't have the password XXXXX the long forgotten alternative e-mail address either.
I'm so concerned that if I get locked out I will lose touch with everyone on my list.
I guess I'd have to set up a new account.
Has anyone else had problems with Yahoo or Firefox lately? Is there no way to communicate with them directly?
replied 5 years ago.
Yes.. Others have had issues with Yahoo..
I think, Your firefox is corrupted, if it took that many tries to type in the security letters, you couldnt have made that many mistakes..
We need to do the following.. Open firefox, click tools, click clear recent history. choose everything.
And then, let it do its thing.
Then.. i want you to uninstall firefox.. And then.. Download and install it again..
then.. try again to change your password XXXXX firefox.. does it let you enter the security information first time go now?

Why I Sympathize With Kate Middleton's Public Breastfeeding PressureAlice Gomstyn
I've never been coy about the fact that I breastfeed my infant. I've written multiple posts on the subject, one of which even wound up — complete with a picture of a smiling me nursing Scrunchy Face—on The Huffington Post. (It was a proud moment: "Look ma, my shirt is hiked up on a national website!")
But here's why you might be tempted to label me a hypocrite: I rarely breastfeed in front of people who aren't immediate family. The closest I've come to breastfeeding in public was when I did it in my car in a semi-deserted parking lot. If my baby is hungry and I have no choice but to feed him in a public place, of course I'll do it — but it won't be without some trepidation.
It's not that I'm ashamed. I repeat: I am NOT ashamed. And I applaud the women who have no trouble breastfeeding out in the open, whether they use cover-ups or not. I applaud the women who think nothing of baring their chests while doing the important work of feeding their children.
But, me? I'm shy. I'm nervous. I worry that Scrunchy Face will get fussy about latching right away, and I'll be stuck playing pin the boob on a 7-month-old for who knows how long. That's just not a game I feel comfortable playing in public.
That Huffington Post photo? My mother took it after Scrunchy Face had latched and was going to town, with his balding head standing in the way of my chest getting real camera exposure.
That's why I have some sympathy for Kate Middleton, who is now coming under pressure — in a British newspaper op-ed by TV presenter Beverly Turner — to "get her Royal orbs out" and feed her future child with a smile on her face while paparazzi snap away.
I agree that powerful women like the Duchess of Cambridge can help have a positive impact on breastfeeding. But if she's not comfortable doing it in front of a camera-wielding public, perhaps there are alternatives? Couldn't she talk about it? Write her own op-eds? Have the royal photographer take some shots of her nursing in a private setting and let her choose which ones she wants to release?
Side note: All this assumes that Middleton will breastfeed in the first place, which is no guarantee. I have to wonder how the very public pressure on Middleton makes women who couldn't breastfeed at all feel. Check out what my fellow Babble blogger Heather Spohr told ABC News on the issue here.
More on breastfeeding: The Real Costs of Pumping
There's a good chance I'm taking Turner's recommendation too literally and that she'd be happy to see Middleton take the steps I suggest above. And maybe someday I'll stop being so self-conscious and join other nursing mamas doing their thing in the park, the grocery store and the mall.
For now, I'm just grateful that my own orbs aren't royal. God save the (future) Queen's.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies going from worst to first and winning the National League pennant. All season long we will take a look back at each game of the 1993 season.
Last Game: Phillies 5, Padres 3
Phillies 5
Padres 3
WP: Danny Jackson (2-0)
LP: Frank Seminara (1-2)
S: Mitch Williams (9)
Lenny Dykstra's lead-off home run to start the game jumped the Phillies off to a good start and a four-run third inning was enough to hold off a late-inning rally by the Padres as Danny Jackson picked up his second win with the Phillies in game two of a west coast road trip. The Phillies won their second straight game against San Diego by the score of 5-3 to start the road trip off on a good note.
The Phillies were able to put together some two-out threats in the third inning and the bats capitalized on them. Ricky Jordan, playing first base to give John Kruk a day off, was on first base with two outs following a Dave Hollins strikeout. He would soon be on third base after Darren Daulton walked and Wes Chamberlain reached first on a fielding error by Padres shortstop Craig Shipley. The Phillies would make the Padres pay for allowing an extra out in the inning. Milt Thompson grounded a single up the middle to score Jordan and Daulton for a 3-0 lead, and Chamberlain and Thompson would come around to score on the next pitch when shortstop Juan Bell, hitting eighth in the lineup, doubled to right-center field.
Jackson was in firm control with a 5-0 lead but started to crack in the seventh inning. The Padres got one on the scoreboard on an RBI single by Phil Clark. Jackson kept it at 5-1 through seven but would need to be relived in the eighth inning. A Tony Gwynn single was followed by a fielding error by Hollins, who sailed a throw to first out of the reach of Jordan, putting Gwynn and Gary Sheffield in scoring position for Fred McGriff, who walked after a seven-pitch at-bat went full. Larry Andersen was brought in to try and wiggle out of the mess but an RBI single by Guillermo Valesquez on the second pitch from the reliever brought home two runs to cut the Phillies lead to 5-3. Andersen was quickly pulled by manager Jim Fregosi in favor of David West, who managed to get out of the inning without any more damage.
Mitch Williams would enter the game in the bottom of the ninth, looking to preserve the 5-3 lead and pick up the save. He did just that by retiring the side on just seven pitches, forcing Gwynn to fly out to left for the final out.

By Rachel Lewis Hilburn • Jun 5, 2015 This broadcast of CoastLine originally aired on July 16, 2014. Charter Schools in North Carolina: What role should they play within the public school system and how is that role changing? During a time when every dollar spent on public education is scrutinized, lawmakers, parents, and advocacy groups alike are asking: are charter schools effectively expanding options in the public school system? Are they bridging an achievement gap? Or are they siphoning taxpayer resources from traditional public schools? North Carolina Board of Ed approves 25 new charter schools By Rachel Lewis Hilburn • Sep 6, 2012 Wilmington Preparatory Academy Earlier today, North Carolina's Board of Education cleared the way to open 25 new charter schools by August of next year. WHQR's Rachel Lewis Hilburn reports while about 30-thousand children are on wait lists, the number of newly-approved charter schools is the biggest increase since the cap was lifted in 2010.

MOBILE, Alabama -- A minor problem with a malfunctioning scanner at Mobile County's Precinct 69 is the only problem that has been detected this morning, Roxann Dyess, election coordinator, said today.
The scanner at the Mobile Civic Center would not come on line before the polls opened, Dyess said. Probate Judge Don Davis had reported the problem, she said.
So far, officials have not received any reports of difficulties with ballots not scanning, she said.
Mobile City Councilman John Williams reported painfully low turnout at his voting precinct this morning. He said that he was the 19th voter at 8 a.m., an hour after the poll opened at First Independent Methodist Church on Hall's Mill Road.
In a general election or a primary with several contested seats, there would be more voters in the first five minutes, Williams said.
A former candidate for the Mobile County Commission District 3 seat, Williams declined to say whom he favored in the Republican runoff for the seat. Mike Dean, the incumbent, faces Jerry Carl.
Dean also reported thin turnout at the polls this morning. He said he was the 21st voter at his precinct at Hollinger's Island as of 7:50 a.m.
In such a low turnout race, "it's just a matter of who their family and friends out," Dean.
Baldwin County officials aren't experiencing any problems with equipment, and are also experiencing low voter turnout, Violetta Smith, election coordinator, said.
Polls opened statewide at 7 a.m. for the GOP nomination for president of the Public Service Commission. In northern Baldwin County, voters are deciding between Republicans David Cox and Sonny Dobbins for the District 1 seat on the county school board.
Polls close today at 7 p.m.
Updated at 10:20 a.m. and 11 a.m. with contributions from Press-Register reporter Robbie McClendon.
Updated at 11:15 a.m. to correct the spelling of Roxanne Dyess' name.

Video: See Jim James perform with the Roots on "Fallon"
Jim James' new album "Regions of Light and Sound of God" is a solo effort, his first, but the My Morning Jacket had a ton of support--21 musicians in fact, including the Roots--when he performed '50s-style love song "A New Life" on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night.
Alas, James isn't going to have that kind of support when he performs at the Pabst Theater April 19. But with My Morning Jacket, he's an excellent showman - local MMJ shows made my favorite Milwaukee concerts list the past two years.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) Archeologists in South Carolina will look for remaining evidence of a wharf where tens of thousands of slaves first set foot in the United States.
Officials announced last month that a $75 million International African American Museum is planned for the site in Charleston where the wharf once stood.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports (http://bit.ly/1zJr59y ) that Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. says researchers will in the coming weeks begin looking for whatever may remain of Gadsdens Wharf. He said there may be timbers or other material under layers of fill.
From 1803 to 1807 more than 70,000 enslaved Africans were brought to the wharf at a time when Charlestons population was only 20,000. The first slaves arrived in Charleston in 1670, the year the Carolina colony was founded.

TELL CITY—Tell City amassed a season-high 15 hits in a 9-3 girls softball win over Crawford County Tuesday.
Hana Reed went 3 for 5 to lead the Marksmen's attack.
Stori Beard added a triple and a single and drove in three runs.
McKenzie Hayes hit a double and a single. Cassidy Barnhill, Megan Lawalin and Katie Elder each also had two hits, and Josalyn Ress hit a double.
Ress' double drove in a run in Tell City's four-run fourth inning, which broke the game open.
MARENGO—Kristi Brumfield hit a two-run homer and pitched a nine-inning complete game as Perry Central beat Crawford County 5-3 in PLAC girls softball Monday.
Brumfield hit her home run over the left-field fence in the fifth inning. It followed a double by Sydney Goffinet and put the Commodores ahead 5-3.
Crawford County tied the score the next inning and it remained tied until the ninth.
With one out in the Perry Central ninth, Kayla Carter walked and advanced to third on a single by Brittany Overstreet, who took second on the throw to third.
CANNELTON—New Harmony erupted for seven runs in the fourth inning to beat Cannelton 13-7 and sweep a baseball doubleheader Saturday.
The Rappites won the first game 9-0 despite having only three hits, as Cannelton committed six errors and gave up 12 walks.
"We didn't field the ball very well and I think we only had two hits the first game," said Cannelton Coach Mike Garrett.
Tristan Simmons and Spencer Herzog singled for Cannelton's only hits.
Two of New Harmony's three hits were doubles.
LEOPOLD—Perry Central had five hits in the first inning but only two after that in a 7-3 baseball loss to Crawford County Monday.
The Commodores jumped to a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning.
"We started out great," said Perry Central Coach Phil Zellers. "The first inning I thought we were really going to get our bats going."
Despite slumping after that, "we really did a much better job of making contact," said Zellers.

Sports Editor
TELL CITY—Trent Gunn drove in four runs with a homer and two doubles as Tell City beat Boonville 12-4 in baseball Monday.
TELL CITY—Logan Flannagan won three events to lead Tell City to third place in the nine-team PAC girls track meet Tuesday.
Forest Park won with 133.5 points. Heritage Hills was second with 110.25 and Tell City scored 92.
"I was hoping to be just a little closer to Heritage Hills, but they ran well," said Tell City Coach Katie Chinn.
Flannagan broke her own school record as she won the 100-meter high hurdles in 16.24 seconds.
CANNELTON—Cannelton held Tell City's baseball team hitless for the first two innings Tuesday, but the Marksmen's offense was too powerful for the Bulldogs to contain any longer.
The Marksmen scored 10 runs in the third inning en route to a 19-0 victory.
The Marksmen had five hits, drew four walks, and had two batters hit by pitches in that inning.
An RBI double by Cordell Snyder and a two-run double by Brian Arnold were the big blows.
Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Quick of Tell City celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows March 21, 2011, at Hemlock Hills in Gatlinburg, Tenn.
A celebration was also held in their honor and hosted by their family after the ceremony. The Rev. Seff Ounby officiated the vow-renewal ceremony.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
This version of REMS PCR (restriction enzyme-mediated selective PCR) is preferred over traditional REMS PCR due to the use of the thermostable PspGI endonuclease, according to Dr. Adlerstein. In traditional REMS PCR, the restriction enzyme used loses activity over a few cycles allowing wild-type amplicons to start accumulating and overwhelming the low-abundance mutant signal.
Before FLAG, the operator would have to open up the reaction tube and periodically add additional enzyme or perform a sequential two-step amplification/degradation process to knock down the wild-type amplicons. This is clearly not optimal for a high-volume diagnostic assay and could also lead to carry-over contamination of other reaction tubes. The thermal stability of PspGI allows the reaction to continue in a closed tube.
qPCR has emerged as a powerful virologic technique for measuring viral replication and viral loads in humans and animal models. The animal model used by Shane Crotty, Ph.D., assistant professor of vaccine discovery, and his team at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology is lymphocytic choriomenigitis virus (LCMV) infection in mice. LCMV is the best understood mouse model for chronic viral infection with parallels to HCV and HIV in humans. As reported in the literature, LCMV presents a state of constant replication in tissues with release of viral particles into the serum. Dr. Crotty's laboratory has designed a qPCR assay to monitor persistence of infection and viral load by tracking level changes in tissues and serum over time."The key to designing a robust, functional assay is to design PCR primer pairs that have specificity in all tissues that will be used in the diagnostic assay," says Dr. Crotty. "For LCMV, tissue samples are processed from liver, kidney, brain, and serum. In each of these tissue samples, the complexity of the cellular RNA populations is significantly different and in all cases, present at levels significantly above that of the viral RNA."To avoid the risk of false negatives or false positives, the viral RNA primer pairs must have high specificity in all tissues. An optimal primer set that selectively amplified viral RNA in all tissues for this assay was empirically defined.

Dr. Peterson's The Ultimate Guide to Attributing Bust Half Dollars utilizes the Overton numbering system that has become the standard for Bust Half Dollars. What Peterson does, however, is present an alternative method for attributing Bust Half Dollars that most collectors find easier to use than the Overton book. While the end result is the same, the process to get there is much quicker using Dr. Peterson's guide which utilizes a easy pictorial system for attributing coins. Instead of focusing much attention on die states, this book highlights the identification features that persist throughout the use of each die pair.

AfDB Invests in Solar and Wind Power in Sub-Saharan Africa
6 June 2011: The African Development Bank (AfDB) is providing a US$365 million loan to South Africa to support its national electricity utility, Eskom, in implementing a US$1.3 billion renewable energy project to introduce concentrated solar power to sub-Saharan Africa and the first utility-scale wind power plant to South Africa.
The financial deal includes a loan of US$265 million approved by the AfDB's Board of Directors, as well as a US$100 million concessional loan from the Clean Technology Fund. AfDB is also providing transfer of knowledge on how to design and manage wind and solar projects. The loan to Eskom will enable the development of a 100MW concentrated solar power plant at Upington and a 100MW Sere wind farm near Koekenaap in the Western Cape. These projects will allow South Africa to increase the weight of clean energy to 42% by 2030 as planned in its Integrated Resource Plan. The AfDB loan also aims to help catalyze greater investments in green energy in the near future. [AfDB Press Release]

Lodging in Port Angeles WA
Staying at our Five SeaSuns B&B, the perfect place for Port Angeles lodging, making your stay in Port Angeles the center of everything on the Olympic Peninsula. The city is situated on the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula on the shore of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It features a long and narrow natural sandspit named Ediz Hook (which houses a coast guard base on the end) that projects north-easterly nearly three miles into the Strait, creating a large, natural deep-water harbor shielded from the storms and swells that move predominantly eastward down the Strait from the Pacific Ocean. The harbor is deep enough to provide anchorage for most kinds of ocean-going ships. The south shore of Vancouver Island and the city of Victoria, British Columbia are visible across the Strait to the north.
Port Angeles is located in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, which means the city gets significantly less rain than other areas of western Washington. The average annual precipitation total is approximately 25 inches, compared to Seattle's 38 inches. Temperatures are heavily modified by the maritime location, with winter lows rarely below 25 degrees, and summer highs rarely above 80 degrees. However, in winter the city can be vulnerable to windstorms and Arctic cold fronts that sweep across the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
