Hey all,
So I just recently got a new Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable, and I'm having some trouble. Specifically, the cable doesn't seem to recognize my old HDD when I plug it in. The instructions say that a message is supposed to pop up when everything is connected, but I have yet to see such a message. My console is completely up-to-date, and all of my hardware is official first-party Microsoft stuff.
If it helps, I recorded a video showing step-by-step how I attempted to use the cable. http://youtu.be/DmDbuNQIQR8
Can anybody offer some advice? I doubt the cable is faulty since it's literally brand new, and my 360 is barely a month old.
JawshooahCan anybody offer some advice?
Unplug the drive from the cable and the cable from the console.
- Power on the console. Let it finish booting, then log into your profile.
- Attach the USB end of the cable to a rear USB port on the console
- Wait 15 seconds
- Attach the HDD to the cable
- Wait 30 seconds
You should then get the pop-up.
Corona model consoles (the latest one out) do not appear to have enough power to drive the cable from the front USB ports. I've also noticed that even the rear USB ports don't power the current cable if the drive's plugged into the cable before the cable is attached to a rear USB port.
Hey IceStorm,
Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work either. It's been plugged in via your suggestion for about 5 minutes now, and still nothing. Any other ideas?
Just a suggestion, but on my xbox, the usb ports are very touchy and I had adjust (wiggle) the cable to get it to recognize my drive. Hope this helps.
Sorry Bobo, that didn't seem to do anything.
I just tried it with my friend's newer model HDD, and the transfer dialog popped up almost instantly. Either there's something wrong with my old HDD, or the cable has trouble recognizing the older model.
Any mods want to weigh in on this? Here's the video again in case it was lost in the block of text in the opening post.
Try an older model console or the original transfer cable that only works with original HDDs if you can. The original cable appears to pull less power than the new cable.
Other than that... do you have a powered USB hub? You might be able to get it working by putting the powered hub between the 360 and the cable.
Also, make sure the drive's spinning up. You should be able to feel the vibration of the drive spinning up. That should at least rule out if the drive seized or not.
I don't have an older model console available to test, and I actually tried the original cable before exchanging it for this one :\
I don't have a powered hub, but I suppose I could go out and buy one...though I hesitate to buy more hardware when this should work on its own.
The disk in the old HDD doesn't spin when I plug it in. Why would the old drive pull that much more power than the new one?
Also, completely unrelated, but how do you add line breaks in this editor? I added
 to the HTML source but it just replaced it with

, which doesn't seem to allow consecutive newlines.
I add two
's from the HTML section to add paragraph breaks. Paragraphs work correctly in IE, but I'm using Firefox at the moment.
If you have something like an iPod charger handy, you could plug the cable into that, then the drive into the cable. The drive should spin up.
Any friends with older model consoles? The older Trinity 360 S or the original model 360? Unfortunately I will not be back at my collection of consoles to try a 120GB drive on the new transfer cable on a Corona until tomorrow afternoon.
I tried plugging it into an iPod charger, but nothing happened. I did the same with a newer model, and it spun up, so I'm guessing there's a problem with the old hard drive. Any way to get Microsoft to check it out without wiping the data?
I'm not aware of any official data recovery options from Microsoft for 360 HDDs.
So is there anything I can do about this? The old HDD won't draw power when I plug it into my computer either. I have a TON of stuff on the thing, the 120GB was almost completely filled with game installs, saves, and DLC. Is it all unrecoverable?
Game installs from DVD cannot be moved between storage devices. The old transfer software would move them, but since they were locked to the console they were installed on they didn't work after the move. The more intelligent transfer software now on the console won't allow their movement.
Your DLC can all be re-downloaded from your Download History on the console or your Purchase History under My Account on xbox.com
Your saves are probably toast. Many games will allow you to pick up wherever achievements left off, though.
That's rough. I had a ton of saves stored, but most importantly I had my Shepard from ME1 and ME2, which I had planned on using for ME3. Guess I get to start over from scratch :\
Update help on this. I was having the same problem. I waited the 15 secs after it logged me in, plugged in the USB to the back port as the console is laying down it was the top most port. then 30 secs to take a pissand then plugged in the old hard drive and I could hear the old hard drive fire up and the promp popped up. I realize its been 5 months for u but of it helps someone else who is going through this same rough time I hope this post helps.
Hopefully the info here helps me out. I am getting a new 250GB 360 today and will be using the old transfer cable on my 1st gen Xenon. The old girl has served me well until the brick went out last night (no light). On down the road I plan on picking up a new brick to have a bedroom 360 with some arcade games on it...that's all that really works well on it. I have to tap the case to get it to recognise a disc lol.
Here's hoping it goes trouble free. Haha
Sadly I'm having exactly the same problem. Brand new xbox but a very old hard drive and although the cable is detected in a pc the cable, drive isn't though, it isn't being detected in the xbox atleast it's not saying any cable is found.
I've tried waiting but so far no joy :(

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Florida -- A QF-4 drone crashed while taking off from Tyndall Air Force Base Wednesday morning, causing base officials to shut down U.S. 98 through the base, according to a statement from the base.
No one was injured in the crash, according to the base, but U.S. 98 is expected to be closed for up to 24 hours as a result of the crash.
Officials said they are not sure if the self-destruct charge on the unmanned aircraft detonated or not during the crash and the road closure is a precautionary measure. The charge is battery operated and that battery will be fully depleted within 24 hours.
Last Wednesday, another QF-4 self-destructed over the Gulf of Mexico near Port St. Joe.
Today's crash happened at 8:25 a.m. Officials advise motorists traveling from Panama City to
Mexico Beach use Hwy. 22 east to Hwy. 71 south, and from Mexico
Beach to Panama City Hwy. 71 north to Hwy. 22 west.

Changing Lanes
- Directed by Roger Michell
===Story=== Impeccably crafted and smarter than your average thriller, ''Changing Lanes'' proves that revenge is a dish best served cold. A high-powered attorney (Ben Affleck) learns that lesson the hard way after he flees the scene of an accident involving an insurance salesman (Samuel L. Jackson) who holds a powerful advantage in his retaliatory strike against the lawyer's arrogant behavior. Affleck has everything to gain if he can retrieve a lost document from Jackson, who has everything to lose (wife, family, savings) when threatened with financial sabotage. To his versatile credit, ''Notting Hill'' director Roger Michell never plays the race card in this escalating battle of wills, focusing instead on the percolating resentments of men at opposite ends of the economic scale. As he did in ''Eyes Wide Shut'', actor-director Sydney Pollack chillingly embodies the venal elite in a pivotal supporting role, and ''Changing Lanes'' potently illustrates the wisdom of heeding a guilty conscience.

MANSFIELD - The search for a new president at the university here has been narrowed to three people, council of trustees Chairman Dr. Ralph Meyer announced Monday.
Meyer, who is the president of the search committee said the individuals are:
Air Force Brig. Gen. Francis Hendricks, who now is assigned to the Pentagon;
Article Photos
Dr. Donna Price Henry, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Myers, Fla.; and
Dr. Bruce Murphy, vice president for academic affairs at U.S. Air Force's Air University, Montgomery, Ala.,
Their names and resumes have been sent to the state board of governors for review and appointment.
Meyer said the search started in January when the committee enlisted the help of Greenwood and Associates.
"We did national advertising for the position and received in excess of 50 applications," Meyer said.
After reviewing them all, he added, the committee identified 12 to consider further.
"Those 12 were invited to interview in Philadelphia for an hour in a screening interview and, based on that and some additional information review, we picked seven to invite to the campus," he said.
Two of the seven withdrew prior to that, so five visited the campus, meeting various people and a community group.
"All of them provided their input to the committee and we also did background reference checks, a fairly exhaustive process," Meyer said. "Based on all this information, the search committee picked three."
The entire process has taken the better part of a year, but Meyer said he is certain the university will have a new president in place by the beginning of the spring semester in January at the latest.
In other business, the council heard from Dr. Peter Keller, vice president of academic affairs, that enrollment this year is off by about 4.5 percent.
Fall enrollment totaled 3,131 students. The total number of new students was 999, he added.

Mercyhurst women upset No. 20 IUP
The Mercyhurst women finally finished off a victory Saturday.
The youthful Lakers, behind a 23-point effort by sophomore guard Adrienne Kloecker and a huge 42-26 advantage on the boards, upset No. 20 Indiana 73-64 in a PSAC West game at the Mercyhurst Athletic Center.
Mercyhurst (4-10, 2-2 PSAC West) had a 16-point lead cut to three in the second half, but the rebounding, strong defense, and the containment of former Laker Lindsay Stamp enabled the Lakers to prevail after stumbling late in several tight losses.
"We had that three-point lead, and we wanted to keep it this time," said Villa Maria grad Kloecker, who had 17 points in the first half. "We've been losing by five, losing everything with 6 minutes to go. But this game was unbelievable, and we got it. This is my biggest win since I've been here, and the good thing is it's early in the season. We still have a lot to shoot for."
The Crimson Hawks (11-2, 2-2) lost their second straight as former Mercyhurst Prep star Stamp, who played her first collegiate season at Mercyhurst, had a foul-plagued return. The top scorer in the PSAC was held to nine points.
"We wanted to get Stamp in foul trouble, and it worked," Kloecker said of her former rival. Stamp's Villa classmate, reserve forward Zhane Brooks, had the five points that cut the margin to 53-50 with 12 minutes, 38 seconds to go to cap a 10-0 run in which the Lakers committed seven of their 12 turnovers.
But senior Alayna White (18 points, 12 rebounds) broke the streak with a layup, and added 11 points the rest of the way.
"Hell of a game," Mercyhurst coach Deanna Richard said. "We've harped about rebounding in practice, and we didn't give them many second chances. Everyone contributed."
The Lakers were on fire in the first half. With the score tied at 16, Kloecker connected on a pair of 3s and Katie Fischer ended a 14-2 run with another 3. Mercyhurst extended the lead to 46-30 on another Kloecker bomb with 1:14 left, but the Crimson Hawks scored the final seven points, the last on a 3-pointer at the buzzer by guard Amy Fairman (12 points). Kloecker sank 4-of-6 3s in the half, while IUP guard Marita Mathe scored 12 of her 15 points.
Stamp, averaging 21.4 points, was called for her fourth foul 41 seconds into the second half. She later returned but did not score
After IUP made its move, the Crimson Hawks had just four field goals, and Kloecker's 12 footer gave the Lakers a 64-54 lead with 3:58 to go. Mercyhurst got its biggest win since upsetting unbeaten Edinboro in the 2011-12 season, the only regular-season loss for the Scots.
"That was my biggest win, but this was very sweet," Richard said.

Since its infancy, Last winter never intended to be a full finished product any time soon. Mostly due to the direct nature of it's game play and also mainly to the time constraint of its creator. With the avenu of mud and blood and it's unsuspected success, Last Winter was often pushed back to the back burner. Despite of all this LW was never forgotten.
Recently (more or so) Last Winter is experiencing some stability issues. This is due to couple of reasons. Main reason is that the roots of the game engine were designed 5 years ago. Since then, code changed, expansion were made and changes to game play. Add to this that LW is a monster of possibilities and eventuallities that has to be managed by this very tired engine. The crashing issues seems to happen on some systems more than others but regardless, it can't be addressed without a massive overhaul of the core engine and how it handles data, events and player navigation.
So here we are, Last Winter is getting redesigned from scratch. Navigation is handled differently and so is few other parts of it's gameplay. In the redesign Last Winter will start off as a simple prototype running on a strong and scalable engine. From there it will grow. More actions, more items and more animals and random events.
The core system will change Last Winter and how it is played. While trying to find solutions we kept in mind what poeple liked from Last winter the most: freedom of movement, hunting and trading. The new Last winter would have incorporate these charcateristics in order to make the old and hard core LW fans feel right at their place.
In the new Last Winter the player can go where ever he/she see fit, walk incredible amount of distance and face natural obstacles that were not featured in the previous game. To accomplish this, it was necessary to let go some elements of the previous LW, such as (and more importanly) terrain data being saved. Let's face it. The game was spending a lot of ressources saving every bit of details encountered while the player was traveling. Most of these details were not to be recalled by the player at all or were of secondary priority. The player wanted to travel back to the trade post or to a spot of fresh water or a good known hunting ground. What really was in between was generic forest who didnt really neeeded to be saved with high fidelity.
That was the main draw back of Last Winter. A second thing that I wasnt entirely satisfied with was the lack of terrain features, such as cliffs, rivers, ditches swamps ect.. with the new navigation system climbing cliffs and jumping over ditches will be something realizable.
To be continued..

8 Ways to Integrate Social Media with Existing Marketing
Social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ can be high efficiency platforms that serve as a hub for all your social media engagement activities.
Video and photo sharing sites such as YouTube, Flickr, and Instagram can be repositories to archive content that is distributed through other channels. Blogs can become niche-market penetration tools to reach individual audience segments.
That said, social media should not be viewed as a standalone channel that is separate from other marketing initiatives. Instead, view it as a "multiplier" that integrates with and enhances existing marketing communication strategies.
In other words, rather than create social media campaigns, make all of your marketing campaigns social.
Here are eight ways to integrate social media with other forms of marketing.
1. Create a Twitter Channel for Customer Service
Rather than think of Twitter as a single channel that combines product promotion, brand monitoring, content marketing, and customer interaction, make it one part of your customer service matrix by creating a separate account for the sole purpose of responding to customer queries, feedback and concerns.
This approach, popular among larger companies like Comcast and Network Solutions, is one that smaller businesses can easily emulate.
2. Integrate Email and Social Media
Email and social media compliment each other. Here are four ideas for how to combine them.
- Include social media icons that link to your business social networks in email templates, to make it easy for readers to find you in social media.
- Add social sharing buttons to email templates. That way, if someone likes your campaign all they have to do is click a button to share it with friends and followers.
- Post email campaigns to social media. Some email marketing platforms include the ability to automate this process.
- Convert social followers to email contacts. Email marketing platforms like MailChimp, Constant Contact, Mad Mimi, and iContact offer signup forms designed for use on Facebook Pages.
3. Strengthen SEO by Coupling Good Content with Social Media
This is where Google+ can be an asset. In "SEO: 5 Reasons not to Ignore Google+," Contributing Editor Jill Kocher explained that sharing content on Google+ has a causal relationship with higher Google rankings, and Google's search crawlers use Google+ as a source of fresh content.
4. Target Journalists Using Social Media
Journalists look for credible sources when conducting research for articles. One place they look is social media.
Instead of hoping they will find you, follow them, and then comment on and share their content. More importantly, produce content of your own that establishes your thought leadership and expertise, which you syndicate via social media.
5. Integrate Social with Traditional Marketing with Campaign Hashtags
This is a common advertising practice among larger brands, and for good reason. It provides a filtering mechanism through which prospective customers identify themselves based on topics of shared interest.
For example, in 2012, Nike conducted a hashtag campaign using Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram that asked fans to share how they planned to "#makeitcount" that year. The company advertised via print and digital media to focus attention around it. So successful was the campaign that Nike extended it into 2013.
Most social networks now incorporate hashtags, so it's an easy way to get your message in front of prospects without the need for overt marketing tactics.
6. Carry Over other Types of Marketing Campaigns into Social Media
Ecommerce merchants often use contests, discounts, special offers, and seasonal promotions in email and other types of marketing campaigns. It makes sense to include social media in the mix.
This can be accomplished in a variety of ways:
- Use Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn promoted posts to reach a larger audience.
- Create a Facebook Page app or LinkedIn Showcase Page to call extra attention to the promotion.
- Feature contest winners on social networks, and encourage them to share the mention with their friends and followers.

7. Use Customer Ratings and Reviews into your Website
Many ecommerce platforms come with customer rating and review functionality built in. For those that don't, many third-party software applications are available, which can be integrated into product pages using a snippet of JavaScript or HTML code.
8. Syndicate Existing Content to Social Networks
Your existing content remain only on your website. Instead, place it on social and content networks where it can be found more easily. Put PowerPoint decks on Slideshare, videos on YouTube, photos on Flickr, documents on Scribd, and blog posts on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+.

I definitely think that creating a Twitter account is a must for any business starting in this day and age. When a business is already started, incorporating social media, in many different ways, is vital to the survival of most businesses. Especially if that business is in the service industry (restaurants, nightclubs, etc.). Overall I thought this article brought up a great deal of useful tips for businesses.
It is really important to add social media to your marketing plan, because it's at the forefront of consumer interaction. For more ideas on this topic, check out this post: http://blog.prosemedia.com/how-does-content-help-social-media-marketing/
I like what you said about creating good content, because, above all, well-made content is key to building and maintaining an audience. I think it will be interesting to follow e-commerce trends and online marketing tactics as they adapt to new social media platforms, like Pinterest.
Good article.. with good tips to use in social marketing….
The fans of Instagram has grown drastically .. it impacted the online advertising of web-based small companies…
maybe a tight integration of all tools:
web-based banners, Instagram Ads, twitter, etc. is a must to do..
are there articles on first the impact of Instgram on other social media tools used for advertising services and products and on how to go about it??
Good call on pointing out the value of Instagram. However, I'm not aware of an article on its impact.
What a great article. I could not agree more, especially with the part about creating good content – this is definitely key.
Social media, although many are still against it, can be extremely useful for businesses and it is relatively simple to do if you understand your audience. To read more about growing a business through social media, check this post out: http://thomasstocks.com/grow-your-business-through-social-media/
Either anyone is running SEO, PPC or any other marketing technique, social media marketing is always important to get big amount of customers and achieve sales' targets. Sometimes people face difficulty while integrating social media with other marketing campaigns but your guidelines are pretty helpful for these people to integrate social media with existing marketing strategies without any difficulty :)
social media should not be viewed as a standalone channel that is separate from other marketing initiatives. Instead, view it as integrates with and enhances existing marketing communication strategies.common advertising practice among larger brands, and for good reason.
Great article. I think these tactics all hit the nail on the head. One thing I would add is repurposing content for different media. Find a way to turn content into videos and push them on key platforms, like YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook. The ideas are already there. No need to reinvent the wheel when you're integrating social with current marketing strategies.
It's true social media has changed the way businesses communicate and market to potential customers. One of today's biggest struggles within social media marketing is keeping up with the ever emerging trends and new social media exchanges. We're always trying to look 2 steps ahead as to where social media is going and the best way to do that is to look at the past (short past). For more http://www.upandsocial.com
Thank you for reasonable points on social media marketing! As a founder of startup I think that some part of work in sales and marketing should be outsourced. You can make a smaller investment to building your marketing plan until your growth provides the cash flow needed to hire more permanent staffing. Also, you often need the expertise of more knowledgeable professionals providing strategic growth plans and your budget doesn't not allow for that level of investment for the long term. I was working Ignite http://ignitecloudware.com It seems to be reliable and competent company.
Good Insights in article but it's important to take the time to do it properly. An effective social media strategy will drive more web traffic for us, help us to build deeper customer relationships, and improve our customer satisfaction, retention and ultimately sales. Thanks for sharing a wonderful post. i would like to share this article with my marketing team. Thank You!

Have you checked out daily burn?
Just checking in to see if you have found a good iPhone app for counting carbs. I have myFitnessPal, could be better. I know FitDay has one, but it does not have great reviews.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

thanks, I'll check out daily burn.

I find the my fitness pal iPhone app very quick and easy to use, however the community is clueless ... sorry if that sounds mean. Raging screaming debaters. I avoid them.
Original wt: 375, Current, 246
Total weight lost, 130 pounds (Took 2 years)
Weight lost first week of low carb, 7.1 pounds
Current: Deadlift 450, Bench 255, Squat 365, Run 4 miles daily, boxing and conditioning work
Goals: Deadlift 502 (5 plates a side with bar), Bench 312 (3 plates/bar) squat 402 (4 plates/bar), run 10 miles, bw 200 lbs
Cows have 4 stomachs to make grass digestible, we have one stomach to make cows digestible, and with that, neither can eat grain and become healthy!
I use Carb Manager. I like it. Easy to use and a big database. Lets you set your own goals, record weights, graphs progress and history.
I use Lose It. This one is for free but I believe it has everything that I needed.
I have been using Calorie Counter, although I'm not counting calories. There is a display of total daily carbs, fat, protein and calories that keeps a running total throughout the day, which makes it a lot easier to see at a glance, and track the information you are looking for. There is also a bar code scanner like MyFitnessPal, and the data base is pretty extensive. I was trying to find an app to track my carbs too, but all the apps like MyFitnessPal and several others that I've used or checked into are based on a calorie count and they make it difficult to see your daily total carb intake at a glance (which is what you were asking for in the first place). Although Calorie Counter is based on calories, it displays a carb count the best, has the best data base of foods and exercise (besides MyFitnessPal), and is easy to use. I hope this helps!
I use FatSecret. The website is easy to use too and the two sync well so you can easily update your foods at your computer or on your phone. You can set it to track net carbs easily.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Marks Daily Apple Forum mobile app
I like MyPlate - Food Diary & Food Calorie Counter | LIVESTRONG.COM
they have apps for everything, ipad/iphone/android/windows 8.
found they have a bigger range than the other sites.

Diabetes and Your Child: Sick Day Plan
Diabetes and Your Child: Sick-Day Plan
When your child is sick, his or her routines for regular eating, taking insulin, and exercising will be interrupted. This may make his or her blood sugar harder to manage. You will need to monitor your child closely and check his or her blood sugar more often. You may also need to adjust your child's insulin dosage. To be prepared, work with your child's healthcare team to create a sick-day plan. The healthcare team will help you keep your child safe while he or she is sick.
Caring for Your Child
Infections, the flu, and even a simple cold can cause your child's blood sugar to rise. Here are some tips to follow when your child is sick:
Have a sick-day box ready. Before your child gets sick, make a sick-day box. The box should include: a thermometer, ketone testing strips, and a suppository that helps stop nausea and vomiting. Also, add a can of soup, crackers, sugar-free juice and regular juice. And keep some frozen juice bars, some with sugar and some without sugar, in the freezer. Check the expiration dates on the contents of the sick-day box once a month.
Stick to the usual meal plan if your child can eat. This will help regulate your child's blood sugar and keep him or her from becoming dehydrated.
If your child can't eat, have him or her sip fruit juices, soft drinks with sugar, or ice cubes made from juice or sugar water. Or try gelatin, frozen juice bars, or low-fat ice cream.
Make sure your child drinks plenty of water. Your child has to stay hydrated.
Test blood sugar often. Test as often as indicated in the sick-day plan. And continue checking your child's blood sugar even if he or she isn't eating. A rise in hormones can cause the blood sugar level to rise. That means insulin must still be injected to keep your child safe and his or her blood sugar in the target range.
Do NOT skip insulin. ALWAYS continue giving insulin. Adjust the amount of insulin you give your child according to the sick-day plan. But do NOT skip insulin, even if your child is vomiting. Skipping insulin could lead to ketoacidosis (see below). Call your child's doctor if you aren't sure how much insulin you should give your child.
What Are Ketones?
The body needs glucose for energy. If the body doesn't get the glucose it needs, it starts burning fat. But fat is not the best fuel for the body. And burning fat produces a waste product called ketones. Ketones can build up dangerously in the blood and urine. Your child's body can't handle large amounts of ketones. Always test for ketones when your child has:
Blood sugar above 240.
Diarrhea or is vomiting.
Fever of 100.4ºF (38ºC) oral or 101.4°F (38.5°C) rectal or higher, or as directed by your child's healthcare provider
Call your child's doctor right away if ketones are present in the blood or urine.
What Is Ketoacidosis?
When ketones build up in the blood, it can cause ketoacidosis. (Ketoacidosis is sometimes called diabetic ketoacidosis or DKA.) The biggest cause of ketoacidosis is a lack of insulin. This can happen if your child misses taking his or her insulin injections. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include:
Nausea and vomiting
Stomach cramps
Rapid, deep breathing
Fruity-smelling breath
Blurred vision
Ketoacidosis is very serious. If you suspect ketoacidosis, take your child to the hospital emergency department (ER) right away.
Call your child's doctor if:

A sudden rainstorm washed away the Mona Lisa. Commuters walked callously across a Rembrandt. Unthinkable? Not to Boston-based artist Robert Guillemin, who as "Sidewalk Sam" paints classics on concrete canvases.
Sidewalk Sam has transformed more than 300 street corners all over the world into ephemeral artworks. "It's fragile," Sam says of his art. "It's associated with the earth, associated with a moment. And past the location, past the moment, it has no application. It's as temporary as a flower."
A typical Sidewalk Sam blossoms in one day and measures 8'X10'. The crouching artist is invariably surrounded by curious onlookers. Friendly waitresses, he reports, often trot out of neighborhood bars with vodka martinis in coffee cups. "A lot of children come up," he continues, "and say, 'Mister, that's good. You ought to be an artist.' " Sam draws in pastels, copies from postcards, prints and art books and never attempts original works. His biggest effort—which took three days to complete—was a 3,600-square-foot logo for Boston's Convention and Tourist Bureau that he drew in Copley Plaza two years ago.
Born in Cambridge, the son of a Harvard biophysics professor, Guillemin displayed enough artistic ability when the family moved to Chicago to win a scholarship to that city's Art Institute. He went on to earn a master's degree in fine arts at Boston University before spending two years at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
A divorced father of twin boys aged 16, Guillemin, 41, lives in suburban Needham and supports his hobby with commercial art and lecturing. Seeing himself as a sort of Johnny Appleseed of the art world, he says, "I would love to wander all over the face of America creating these pictures." One future project is a sidewalk rendition of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel.
In 1973 the Boston police threatened to arrest Guillemin for defacing public property. (He has since been granted official permission to draw almost anywhere he pleases.) In seven years of sidewalk sketching, he's never been assaulted, verbally abused or had any of his equipment stolen. "Dogs," smiles Sam, "are my harshest critics."

I here was more than one way of seeing stars in Atlantic City on fight night last week. You could climb in the ring with Mike Tyson and run into an upper-cut, the way Michael Spinks did. Or you could wangle one of the 460 invitations to be wined and dined by Donald and Ivana Trump at their Trump Plaza hotel before settling into some of the most expensive seats in the house. (A spot ringside was going for $1,500.) Boxing has a way of bringing out the heavies—people like Nicholson, Beatty and Penn—and Milton Berle had an explanation for that. "Entertainers are performers," he said, "and they like to see someone else perform in another profession." Short as the performance was, some of the celebs saw it as a chance to spend time with loved ones. Stephen King, Jack Kemp and Larry King all took their kids, while Oprah Winfrey, Bruce Willis and Donald Trump had fathers in tow. Robin Givens sat with her mom and surely had the dandiest family night of all.

There are competitive spelling and drawing games, but I can't think of anyone who's made creative writing competitive (other than every English major, of course). Well, that changes now with Write It VS., a game that challenges you to write a story head to head in timed games.
To the press release!
The app also features elaborate social media integration to encourage players to share their stories, ideas, jokes, and mess ups with their friends on Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr. Title suggestions and words can also be pulled from the Twittersphere to make stories current or trendy. And since each turn only allows a player to write 140 characters or less, the next viral Tweet could be sent through cyberspace from this game.
And of course, there is a video trailer:
You can buy the game for 99 cents on the App store or get the free version.

Case Study: Katy Chevigny: Election Day
Some filmmakers get bent out of shape. They don't want you to take just seven minutes out of their film. But the film can be both a viewing experience for people at festivals and on TV, and also something that can be picked apart and used in a practical setting." —Katy Chevigny
Producer/Director Katy Chevigny isn't nostalgic for the documentary-making days of old. "I don't know why we should be romantic about the old era. That was when your film showed on broadcast once, and if a viewer was out of town, it was tough luck for them," says Chevigny. "We should be embracing the new era. There's so much more capacity for impact and changing people's ideas."
Chevigny's latest film, ELECTION DAY focuses on a diverse group of American voters heading to polling places around the country in November 2004. From the pre-production phase through the festival circuit and the film's PBS broadcast, Chevigny and her team have been experimenting with new ways to connect with audiences. They've learned a lot, she says, about the importance of timing, like having a website and blog ready as soon as the film opened at its first festival and having DVDs available in time for the July 2008 television broadcast on P.O.V. (ITVS co-produced the film with PBS.)
"Most indie films are under-exposed," says Chevigny, who also runs the New York nonprofit Arts Engine. "To whatever extent you can make it easier for people to find your film, you're doing yourself and your viewers a service."
Opening Up Production to Participation
The pre-production schedule for ELECTION DAY was tight: five weeks, leading up to the November 2004 presidential election. Chevigny and the two other producers who were working on the film crafted an email blast that they sent to nearly everyone they knew. "We explained, 'This is the film we're making, and here's who we're looking for—people who have interesting daily lives or life stories,'" Chevigny recalls. The email circulated like pollen.
"People forwarded it to their cousins in Florida and Ohio," Chevigny says. "We got back dozens of intriguing, idiosyncratic stories." She and two other producers followed up with a phone interview to hone in on the best ones. One contact came from a former intern who'd earlier worked with Chevigny; she hailed from a family of Oklahoma factory workers. Another, the owner of a Wisconsin pizza shop, came from a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend.
Finding New Audiences
As ELECTION DAY was nearing its debut at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2007, Chevigny spent "several hundred dollars" building a website for the film, which included now-standard elements like a trailer, a blog, high-resolution images for the press, and an email list to provide interested visitors with information about screenings.
They also added a button for visitors who use Google's online calendar service to manage their schedules. Those that click a button on the site that says, "Subscribe to the ELECTION DAY Calendar," allow the team to beam information about upcoming events—such as screenings, TV airings or panel discussions—directly into their online calendar.
Chevigny and Co-producer Maggie Bowman also seized an opportunity to serve as guest bloggers on The Huffington Post, a highly-trafficked political site.
Chevigny and Associate Producer Jolene Pinder have been exploring the potential for "slicing and dicing" the film into shorter segments that can be used by various advocacy groups, either during live presentations to audiences or on their websites. That exposure could help raise awareness of the full-length film, they believe. "Some filmmakers get bent out of shape," Chevigny says. "They don't want you to take just seven minutes out of their film. But the film can be both a viewing experience for people at festivals and on TV, and also something that can be picked apart and used in a practical setting."
New Distribution Opportunities
Though Chevigny's nonprofit group has made some of its earlier films available on a digital download site called Caachi.com, there aren't yet plans for ELECTION DAY to appear alongside them. "We're still waiting for the dust to settle, in terms of the download arena," explains Pinder.
But they prepared a DVD so it would be available for purchase by July 2008, when the film aired on PBS. They relied on Neoflix and Breakthrough Distribution, two services that help filmmakers replicate DVDs and fulfill Internet orders. (Neoflix, for instance, takes just 10 percent per transaction from each DVD sale, after a filmmaker pays an initial set-up fee and a monthly service fee. But filmmakers supply Neoflix with their own, pre-duped DVDs.)
"The thing I wish we had done differently was to have the DVD available at the premiere," Chevigny says. "As soon as you have your first screening, people want to buy the DVD. If you could truck around twenty DVDs to every screening you go to, you'll sell those."
Working with PBS, they also made it possible for community groups, libraries and youth organizers to borrow a copy of the DVD (through P.O.V.'s Community Network) to hold their own screenings, and also supplied a discussion guide.
Pinder is also exploring a potential relationship with House Party, a firm that helps coordinate house parties to test new products or watch new movies. (NBC has used it to generate interest in Friday Night Lights and The Biggest Loser.) But that experiment may wait until their next film.

Against this backdrop, all the major companies that had a focus on client-based games, Giant, Changyou, Perfect World, Netease and Netdragon, are expanding their mobile teams and releasing new mobile titles. Tencent has a strong market share in mobile games, but is facing competition from various mobile developers.
Web games, which can be played in a browser, and are accessible and user-friendly is a $1 billion market segment. Included in the study are an analysis of top web game companies and the top web game can have more than 800,000 peak concurrent users.
One emerging trend is the popularity of micro-client version of games. Micro-client files are generally less than 50MB compared to more than 1GB for a typical client-based game. This significantly cuts down on download times to under 15 minutes with a broadband connection. The micro-client software is far more compatible with users of large platforms including social network platforms.

Devils looking to set foundation for future; Bell, Faust hope to sign; Wood returning to prep school
Defenseman Joe Faust is hoping to begin a pro career in the Devils' organization after graduating from the University of Wisconsin.
The Devils will wrap up their prospect development camp with a scrimmage Friday morning and then the players will attend the Yankees' home game against Cincinnati Friday night.
Devils coach Pete DeBoer liked a lot of what he saw this week, but said more important than the speed and who scored in scrimmages has been the framework that has been established for the young players to follow on their way to becoming professionals.
"The goal here really has been to concentrate on fundamentals and to really start building the foundation for these kids both on how the New Jersey Devils play and the details of the game that demands and also what it means to be a New Jersey Devil as a pro hockey player away from the rink," DeBoer said after today's two practice sessions. "So, that's the goal. The pace and who scores and those things are really secondary to those two things."
For some of these players it's been their first time around the professional environment. It's a significant jump up from what they're used to in junior or high school or even college.
"This is whole different level of details of the game," DeBoer said. "It's equivalent to middle school to high school. The level is raised and the details you have to concentrate on to play the game increase with that, too. I think it's great. We did a lot of video work with these guys this week. We gave them a lot of information. You know not everything is going to sink in, but you hope they go away with some key things that can help them develop and make sure next year they're a step ahead of this year."
In addition to the on-ice practice sessions and scrimmages, there have been off-ice meetings in which GM Lou Lamoriello, DeBoer and his assistants have stressed the commitment that it takes on and off the ice to become an NHL player.
"I think when you look around the NHL, the injection of youth into the top teams in the league keeps them at the top," DeBoer said. "As much as the stars are there, those teams injecting youth into their lineups year after year keeps them there and we have to be one of those teams. And the quicker you can build that foundation, the quicker they can learn how to be pros and start living life that way, obviously, the faster they'll be ready to help you here."
DeBoer was impressed with 2014 first-round draft pick John Quenneville in the development camp.
"He's had a great week," DeBoer said of the 6-foot-1, 185-pound center. "This is the first step on his road to the NHL and it's not going to be an easy one. It never is for young men, but he's made a good first impression, I think, on everybody both with what he's done on the ice, but I think more importantly with how he carries himself off the ice."
The Devils have played it safe this week with right wing Myles Bell after he had knee surgery in April, allowing him to take part in practices but holding him out of contact and scrimmages.
"They don't see any sense in overdoing it in July and potentially getting injured when I can just ease into it and be ready for main camp in September."
Bell, who will turn 21 on Aug. 19, wouldn't say specifically what the injury was to his knee, saying only that there were "a number of things" wrong, but "nothing too serious."
Bell had a great regular season with Kelowna, leading the team with 42 goals and 77 points in 69 games. He then added three goals and one assist in four playoff games before he was injured.
Bell said it was the Devils doctors' decision to hold him out of contact and the scrimmages in the development camp. He's confident he'll be 100 percent in time for training camp in September, though.
"I feel ready for contact now, but that's up to the doctors," he said. "I'm not going to argue with them. Playing it safe isn't the worst idea at all."
Complicating things a little is that Bell, a 2013 sixth-round draft pick, is not yet under contract and would have liked to use this week to help him get his first pro deal.
"It always comes into the picture, but those are things you can't really control, so you try not to think too much about it," Bell said of injury impacting his contract status. "It's definitely in the back of my mind, for sure."
The Devils own his rights for another year, but Bell would prefer to be signed this summer, so he can attend training camp in September and play somewhere in the organization in 2014-15.
"We're working at that this summer and, hopefully, I'll get back here for camp here in September," he said. "I'm just waiting on whatever to happen. I'm sure there's plenty of places to play, but this is definitely No. 1 on my list where I want to be."
Also looking for a contract from the Devils is defenseman Joe Faust, who completed his college career and graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a finance degree this spring and is now wants to move on to the pro game.
The Devils have until Aug. 15 to sign Faust, a 2010 fourth-round choice, or he becomes an unrestricted free agent. Defenseman Curtis Gedig, who finished his career at Ohio State this past season is in same position. I wrote about him in this post earlier today:
Faust, 22, said there has been "some" talks with the Devils about a contract already.
"I've been just trying to control what I can," he said. "Keep myself in shape by working out and skating and come out here and try to prove myself, but try not to be impatient. I know there's a lot of other things going on, too, which is difficult at times. But I'm excited and just hoping for an opportunity."
Faust got a little taste of the pro game by joining Albany at the end of the 2013-14 season, but the team was so loaded with defensemen and in the midst of a playoff run, so he didn't get in a game.
"I thought things went well there," Faust said. "I didn't get to play. They were in a position where they were fighting for the playoffs and that was difficult from a personal standpoint, but I definitely understood. They had guys that had been there for a full season. But that was a good experience and since then we've had some talks and I'd certainly love to continue to be a part of this organization. But, as of right now, I'm still unsigned."
Some of you have asked about left wing Miles Wood, a 2013 fourth-round pick, and his plans for 2014-15. Wood, the son of former NHLer Randy Wood, is committed to attend Boston College and would have liked to begin classes there in the fall, but says he is returning to Nobles Prep in Massachusetts for his senior year instead.
"It was something I didn't want to do," admitted Wood, who has been rooming this week with BC defenseman Steve Santini. "I wanted to go to Boston College this fall, but my parents they've been very strict on my getting my high school diploma from prep school, so as of now I'm going back to (Nobles)."
Wood is still only 18 years old and won't turn 19 until Sept. 13, but says he probably will be among the oldest students at Nobles.
"I think I'm all set to go to college right now, but, hopefully, that one more year will prepare me for college," he said. "
Wood says he could have returned to his public high school to get his diploma in time to attend Boston College this fall, but he'll have to go another "full year" at Nobles to get the diploma from there.
Wood, who is listed at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, looks to have filled out physically in the last year. He says he's "put on about 20 pounds" since last year's development camp.
"This past year I took a lot of time in the gym," he said. "So, I'm happy with it and it's definitely helped me out with my hockey game."
Wood originally committed to Brown University, where he could have been teammates with older brother, Tyler – a defenseman who is attending the Devils' prospect camp as an unsigned, undrafted invitee. He changed his mind, though, and decided to switch to Boston College.
"Brown, I just didn't think it was the right fit for me hockey-wise and school-wise," he said. "Brown's a great school. They have a great coach and stuff like that. But, being from Massachusetts, you grow up being around BU and BC and talking to (Boston College coach Jerry) York I thought it was a good fit for me."
DeBoer said one of the things that's he's liked about the camp is the New Jersey presence. With Martin Brodeur's three sons – Anthony, Jeremy and William – attending along with Chatham native Michael Ambrosia and Montvale native Ryan Rosenthal, that's five players with hockey roots in the area.
Anthony, a goaltender, was drafted by the Devils in the seventh round in 2013, but the other four players attended the camp as unsigned, undrafted invitees.
"I really liked the local content here," DeBoer said. "There Brodeurs alone are three, but (with) Ambrosia and Rosenthal you've got five kind of local New Jersey products that played minor hockey here in town. I think that's a great statement to hockey in this state and this area."
One of the things that stood out in Wednesday afternoon's scrimmage was the physical play. Several players threw big hits. Defensemen Steven Santini and Seth Helgeson were among those who stood out most in that area.
"You let the kids out and they were banging around a little bit," DeBoer said. "It was the first time they got to play 5-on-5, so it was nice. We didn't talk about physical play (beforehand). That just happened naturally and from a coaching point of view when you don't have to push that and it comes naturally it's a good sign. We've got some big bodies out there."
Santini, the Devils' 2013 second-round draft pick, has stood out with his physicality, but also his play overall in moving the puck and making smart decisions with it.
"I thought he did a good job," DeBoer said. "He had a couple of big hits, but I like how he played even more than that."

Comparing ACRE and DCP
Electing ACRE results in the ACRE revenue program replacing the counter-cyclical U.S. price program. To facilitate a comparison of these two programs, an implied ACRE price was calculated. The calculation used the ACRE benchmark revenue that underlay the revenue guarantees in Figure 2 and an expected yield per planted acre for the U.S. for 2013. An expected yield was used instead of the historical ACRE benchmark yield to put the ACRE implied price on a more current basis.
If available, the expected yield was from the USDA, OCE baseline estimate released in February 2013. If not available, a trend-line yield was estimated for 2013 using USDA, NASS yields per planted acre beginning with the 1974 crops. Expected 2013 yield in bushels per planted acre are 61 for barley, 160 for corn, 58 for sorghum, 44 for soybeans and 38 for wheat. Expected 2013 yields in pounds per planted acre are 680 for upland cotton, 3,147 for peanuts, 6,932 for long-grain rice and 8,013 lbs. for medium grain rice. The implied ACRE prices for 2013 are presented in Figure 3.
For all the crops examined here, ACRE's implied price is higher than the target price (see Figure 4). However, notable differences exist. For crops grown in the Midwest and upper plain states, ACRE's implied price is at least 49% higher than the target price. In contrast, ACRE's implied price is closer to the target price for the crops associated with the south, especially upland cotton and peanuts. In summary, the ACRE program appears to offer higher risk assistance than the counter-cyclical price program, except possibly for upland cotton and peanuts.
Electing ACRE also results in a 20% reduction in direct payments. Figure 5 presents the average 20% reduction per base acre for the 9 U.S. crops that receive direct payments. This reduction ranges from $0.20 per base acre of oats to $19.24 per base acre of rice. The average U.S. reduction per corn and soybean base acre is $4.87 and $2.30, respectively. The values in Figure 5 include the provision that direct payments are made on only 85% of base acres.

Financialization and Its Entrepreneurial Consequences

Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Research Paper
The U.S. financial sector expanded dramatically over the last hundred years in both relative and absolute terms. This expansion has had a number of causes and consequences, most of which can be lumped broadly under the heading of increased 'financialization' of the economy. This led, in part, to the financial crisis of 2008/2009. In this paper, however, we consider the implications of financialization for the structure of the U.S. economy, in particular for entrepreneurship.

Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish will be busy during the offseason as he looks to overhaul a roster that once again disappointed during the 2013-14 season.
Unfortunately for MacTavish, the list of free agents available is relatively thin, so any major upgrades to the lineup will most likely have to take place via trade.
With that being said, there are still some players who will be available to the highest bidder, and some who could almost certainly help change the culture in the Oilers' locker room.
Here is a list of five free agents who should be on the team's wish list.
