Levine happy with the current console generation
Irrational Games boss Ken Levine has said that he has no desire to see a new generation of consoles arrive just yet.
Speaking as both a developer and a gamer, Levine said that a new console generation was not necessary and he had nothing but good things to say about platforms like Steam.
Speaking on the Irrational Games podcast he said: "At this point I have no desire as a developer and zero desire as a gamer to see the next generation come out where I'm sitting right now."
He added on Steam: "Connectivity exists today on the platforms, and that's definitely the thing I like in a platform like Steam or something. I don't have to worry about that **** - wherever I am, my games are with me, and if I don't have my game with me, I can have it in a few minutes."

Today's issue of The Gurdian has put some heat on Choice FM DJ Abrantee after its' writer Dan Hancock wrote that the DJ coined the term Afrobeats and is the founder of the the UK Afrobeats scene .
The story, which was posted online the night before, caused DJ Abrantee and Afrobeats to become a trending topic on Twitter as a lot of tweeters were outraged about the claims that Abrantee is the so called founding father of Afrobeats in the UK.
However, DJ Abrantee was just as surprised as everyone else when he heard of his new found title and said that the writer misquoted him.
Salute to DJ Abrantee for taking the high road on the situation.

Labour income uncertainty, taxation and public good provision
This article examines optimal nonlinear income taxation, commodity taxation and public good provision under income uncertainty in a moral hazard framework. Uniform commodity taxation and the Samuelson rule for public good provision are desirable under similar conditions as in the conventional tax model. Deviations from these rules is warranted if one can encourage effort by subsidising certain goods and overproviding public goods. We also determine a rule for the optimal marginal income tax rate and provide some numerical simulations. Conditions for the validity of the solution procedure used in this class of models, the first-order approach, are also explored. Copyright 2007 The Author(s).

Dennis Rodman Apologizes After Freaking Out On CNN, Admits He Had Been Drinking
CNN's Chris Cuomo's interview with the former NBA star, who is in North Korea, (predictably) went off the rails.
Update - 12:15 a.m., ET Thursday: Rodman apologizes.
Dennis Rodman issued an apology Thursday through his publicist Jules Feiler in an email to the Associated Press.
I take full responsibility for my actions. It had been a very stressful day. Some of my teammates were leaving because of pressure from their families and business associates. My dreams of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart. I had been drinking. It's not an excuse but by the time the interview happened I was upset.
I want to first apologize to Kenneth Bae's family. I want to apologize to my teammates and my management team. I embarrassed a lot of people. I'm very sorry. At this point I should know better than to make political statements. I'm truly sorry.
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman, and friend of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, reacted wildly to questions about imprisoned American Kenneth Bae from CNN's Chris Cuomo on Tuesday morning.
"Are you going to take an opportunity, if you get it, to speak up for the family of Kenneth Bae and say, 'Let us know why this man is being held?' If you can help them, will you take the opportunity?" Cuomo asked.
"The one thing about politics, Kenneth Bae did one thing. If you understand — if you understand what Kenneth Bae did," Rodman said, adding "Do you understand what he did? In this country?"
Rodman went on to scream at Cuomo for not recognizing the sacrifice being made by the other former NBA players who are in North Korea to play a game as a "birthday present" for Kim Jong-un.
NBA commissioner David Stern had this to say about Rodman's trip to North Korea.
NBA's David Stern on Rodman trip: "Although sports in many instances can be helpful in bridging cultural divides, this is not one of them."— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper)

$20 and a Wonkette Tee Shirt to whoever steals Michele Bachmann's dog. Just like that.
$20 and a Wonkette Tee Shirt to whoever steals Michele Bachmann's dog. Just like that.
I am en route now, commando paint and everything.
That looks like a bad photoshop drive by.
No shit there's a dog inside. A bad, crazy dog. Bad dog!
No no no, you don't understand. The dog IS Bachmann.
The font makes it look like "Dog Jugside." Which makes me want to ask what "jugside" is, but I'm afraid the answer will be either too wonderful or too frightening for my brain.
Does she change the sign to "gone fishing" when she's out meth shopping?
Maybe she's just dyslexic.
[re=289313]Zadig[/re]: Onward Christian soldier, marching off to war…
It would be even better to teabag the dog. Remember to bring peanut butter.
"Dog Inside?"
She spelled "Idiot" wrong.
You be da dog!
[re=289315]NoWireHangers[/re]: yup
Pig! Pig inside! How many times do I have to tell you? With lipstick.
Oh, I thought a Wonkette commenter had left the note on the door as a nasty reference to the esteemed Minnesotan Representative!
A lifetime in hell to whoever stole her virginity.
$100 and a superchunk teeshirt to anyone who gets me the sign
OH RIGHT like Wonkette has Tee Shirts. Whatever. I'll steal the dog anyway. SEARCHING ORBITZ FOR PLANE RIDE NOW.
So, now Bachmann stole Ted Kennedy's dog?
[re=289320]Gopherit[/re]: Good one!
so its an imaginary dog right?
And it's a red-blooded American dog, not like that froo-froo thing with a perm at the White House.
[re=289333]shanemacgowan[/re]: That would be the dog.
And what kind of canine would she have? Something loud, scary, and constantly yapping.
Also stupid. Suggestions?
Yeah, a scotch taped sign on your nice century-old polished oak door, way to bring that nice Minnesota flava to the Senate, hey, how boutcha be a dear an' cook up some macaroni & mayonnaise hotdish and maybe a nice Snickers salad for the next Senator booyah git-together deal
[re=289321]comradepaulson[/re]: Well, this is a WARBLOG, after all…
BARk, somebody, BARK!!
I has a sad 'cuz i'm locked up in here and Bachmann's one craaaaaazy ass bitch, and not in a good way.
isn't Michelle just the gift that keeps on giving? What would we do without her insane actions on a weekly basis. Thank you Michelle!
It's already quite obvious that she channels her inner bitch but does she really need to post notices about it as well? In stupid fonts?
[re=289315]NoWireHangers[/re]: Can you tell by the pixels and having seen quite a few 'shops in your time?
[re=289333]shanemacgowan[/re]: Does she have kids? I might reconsider my stance on guns. hmmmmmm
If I believed you had t-shirts, I'd do it. Especially t-shirts with "Truck Nutz" written in arabic.
ALT text: Dog is my co-pilot.
Probly feeds it Libruls n Bits.
Seems to me there are three choices for Bachmann's dog —
1. A rabid pit bull
2. A yappy little Chihuahua
3. Benji's ghost
Of course, she might actually have the legendary three-headed Cerberus guarding the door to her office, but that would make her … wait for it … SATAN!
Alternate ALT text: Hey, that was our line!
[re=289351]chascates[/re]: Cerberus, perhaps? He was essentially a dumb, furry jackhammer. And there is a river that flows by Minnesota.
Let's be sensible and not go quite so easily for the easy mockery. She has to have something around to eat peanut butter off her pussy, after all.
What would be funnier is if you move the "Michele Bachmann" sign & put it on the men's bathroom door or the broom closet. Would she ever notice the difference?
[re=289351]chascates[/re]: [re=289314]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Hoarhound!
[re=289364]illnoise[/re]: We have t-shirts. We have a fucking CRATE of classic Wonkette t-shirts, to be doled out as Special Prizes.
We've got "Wonkette Operative" and a couple other styles. They are fucking CLASSIC Gawker-era Wonkette fancy american-apparel shirts.
Come one, Michelle isn't ugly (on the outside, anyway.)
Wouldn't it be funny if Bo knocks up the nutty lady's dog. Would they have a socialist poppy?
[re=289378]Accordion-o-rama[/re]: BTW, Hoarhound is also a vegetable.
[re=289381]Ken Layne[/re]: I want one of those 'Wonkette Operative' shirts tomorrow, for Tea Party infiltration purposes.
I will not be impressed until I see a dog cam. She could put up a unicorn inside for all that sign's worth.
[re=289320]Gopherit[/re]: FTW. You're my new hero.
[re=289381]Ken Layne[/re]: Hey Ken, ya got something fuckin' valuable there, fuckin' golden, and yer not just givin' it away. Amiright?
T-shirts? SOLD! I am in the "land of the free" 3 dayz this week. Please tell me how!!!1!!
(I can pay you with any of the following: British Tea Bags, Greek Olives, Saudi Arabian Dates, Bahraini Aluminimum, Polish Biofuel, or duty free scotch or cigarettes)
Leave the sign. Just add underneath in nice calligraphy, "Bitch out to lunch."
Do Wonkette T-Shirts even exist?
[re=289395]Red Zeppelin[/re]:
He's innocent I tell ya! (He's just trying to help sick people & children)
We knew there wasn't any 'intel' inside.
Oh well, one more Republican shitpile to clean up.
This took much too long, but I was compelled:
The reality is still funnier.
Hmmm, what is "dog" backwards – strange coincidence on Bachman's part – I think not.
$100 and a Wonkette t-shirt to the person who writes "—gystyle!!!!!!!" in Sharpie on that sign and then takes a picture of it.
[re=289408]loquaciousmusic[/re]: for the win.
[re=289406]facehead[/re]: *golf clap*
[re=289411]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Is that like getting gonorrhea at the 18th hole?
[re=289410]facehead[/re]: Now say my name bitch.
speaking of scary, huffpo has straight up jumped the fucking shark! http://www.huffingtonpost.com
Requesting Rule 34 on Bachmann.
cute lil cheeks pinch pinch
So …would you take a severed dog ear with Bachmann's RFID chip embedded in it? Or are we talking whole, live dog here? I think I might have to end up using the $20 for a rabies shot if you want it alive.
[re=289413]facehead[/re]: HAHAHA that had to be a prepared comment. Far too witty of a pun, dammit.
"Teeth like that, bitch don' need no dog."
[re=289318]comradepaulson[/re]: Just think of the rural south, with a jug of 'shine next to your rockin' chair, a hound dog sittin' jugside, and a 12 gauge in your right hand, stone waitin' for any revenoooers to come and upset your lifestyle.
Of course, this is all happening in some shithole in rural MN, the dude in the rocker is thinking of ice fishing and freezing his ass off. But in the end, it's all the same, and we're all 'merkins now, also.
[re=289399]CollegeStudent[/re]: I've got a classic "Wonkette Operative" tee from the AMC days. Best purchase I ever made.
[re=289426]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Or maybe I'm just that good, bitch!
Prepare to meet your blingee:
[re=289438]facehead[/re]: NOOOOOOO!!!!! But YESSSSSSSSS!!!!
I should make that the headline photo on ShortsandPants.
[re=289436]MattW[/re]: On a related note, Consumerist is getting a tip jar. How about some Wonkette merchandise? Or a PayPal account? Or a Nigerian bank account? I'd be willing to donate $10,000 Zimbabwean dollars.
Forget the dog .. Inappropriate Font Whore Inside
To fully grasp the scope and meaning of M. Bachmann, you have to NetFlic Todd Solandz' "Palindromes" (note the first five letters of that title), and study the amazing character "Momma Sunshine". You will shudder…
crist, that woman has government health insurance and can take her dog to work.
How about making some more Wonkette swag available via Cafe Press or something?
[re=289334]americanscandoanything[/re]: How bout taking my firstborn son for the superchunk teeshirt? (I don't have the sign.)
[re=289320]Gopherit[/re]: win
[re=289333]shanemacgowan[/re]: That would be the inseminator's second leg of a round trip.
Wow is there really a dog inside or did someone from Wonkette do a cute joke?
sumbitch inside
[re=289381]Ken Layne[/re]: Pleeze for to have neat-o texts on T-shirts!
"Wonkette: Teabagging since 1492"
"Bachmann: Turn'er Over, Drive!"
Someone alert Rick Santorum!
Isn't "dog inside" code for , I'm blowing Boehner right now?
[re=289371]jasper-f-krone[/re]: A river runs through it.

Her sign board sure looks fancy. She must approve of spending lots of money on erroneous shit. Hope to god and God she will be unelected soon.
Just look at her name plate. How much did that cost? Look to the economy of the dog sign. I like the idea of cheap print-outs for elected officials. After all they change every once and a while to include a newly reprehensible turd.
You'll have to pry Rex's penis from her cold dead vagina!
Is this like a twisted version of a do not disturb sign?
I know the Repubs like their sex all back alley, bathroom-stally and illegal.
But this has gone tooooooo far.
Star tribune now "embarrassed" by Bachmann OpEd:
Shouldn't that read "Bitch inside (and out)"?

The nuts and snacks firm came clean about $80 mln worth of bad accounting and replaced its CEO and CFO. Shares tanked and its deal to buy Pringles looks all but dead. It's a warning about going aggressively from private and small to public and big. There are more lessons, too.
Deloitte caught in Diamond Foods' glare
Just a few months ago, the snack food firm's auditor was publicly shamed by its U.S. regulator for past failings. Diamond's misstated payments to nut growers call into question other facets of the company's books. Deloitte could be headed back into the accounting hot seat.
Fed audit throws a monkey wrench
The Fed audit bill makes it a bit harder to pass financial regulatory reform next year. There are jagged policy disagreements between Frank and Dodd, as well as between Dodd and Richard Shelby, the ranking GOP member on his committee. The Fed audit amendment doesn't make agreement any easier.
Yes, end the Fed – as a financial regulator
If not for unprecedented actions by the Ben Bernanke-led Federal Reserve, the United States economy might be mired in a depression. Yet the Fed finds itself on the defensive on Capitol Hill.

About Nathan F
Hrm.. Could this be used in the upcoming Orical vs Google rematch?
Yes, I've seen little notices on things like Newegg and other places I have bought online from that say 'X% tax included for residents of State A.' But if Netflix is in Seattle Washington (I've no idea where it really is..) and cities and counties in California are charging tax, isn't that interstate commerce?
Netflix and others should just claim that the office their billing comes from is overseas and then only the Federal Government can charge taxes on imports.
I'm sorry. I thought only the Federal Government could tax interstate commerce?
The thing I hate most about the FCC not acting on these is that as soon as they do (if they ever do..) come down on the providers they will get taken to court, yet again. They will cry "over reach" and "we have been doing it like this for years and they never had a problem with it". When it comes to corporate giants like this you have to take a firm hand early and often because otherwise they will take the inch you give them and run a thousand miles with it.
How do you know the woman wasn't here legally then had her greencard/visa/passport expire? Indigent border crossers typically can't afford a lawyer to fight their deportation case for them.
In a proper checks and balances system of government like we are supposed to have the courts will drop the heavy hand of justice on the executive branch for their shenanigans here.
You will note that I am not holding my breath at the moment.
Maybe for the first 3 months.. but after that there is no way in hell I am going to pay 43 dollars a month for a digital news subscription.
So.. they got their cake AND get to eat it to huh?
We keep hearing Hollywood (and Bollywood now apparently) spout figures of 10s of thousands of people losing jobs in the movie industry as a result of Piracy!, and yet.. those studios somehow manage to keep running and employing people?
Why haven't any of these music sounds like lawsuits laid out the scores side by side and compare the actual written notes and chords?
If he wasn't using a US based server, as a foreign national why would he need to comply with the US laws that make up the DMCA (the take down part)? They would have been better served going to the Russian courts (I believe that is where he is from) and having them bring him up on charges. Oh wait.. Russia.
They are both police officers, so the Union will have to do some major word twisting to make the Sheriff and Officer Anderson out to be victims.
Do the incumbent telcos have the Unions so deep in their pockets that that Unions aren't getting upset about all the new money and new contracts that someone like Google would bring in?
Hopefully the new Librarian of Congress will shut down this bit of revision.
Aren't we supposed to let ninety nine guilty men go free then suffer one innocent man in jail? It isn't supposed to be an easy job for the DoJ. If they want to send a man to prison for life then they really need to work for it, and holding back evidence is morally wrong.
Is it any wonder people hate lawyers so?
So if the Senate Hearing obviously took them to task for wrongdoing, can the FCC impose fines of their own. They wouldn't even have to do any research, they could just cite the Senate research.
It still boggles my mind that Gene Roddenberry needs an incentive to create new Star Trek works, he has been dead since October of 1991.
Well, obviously H. Clinton isn't as good at her job as she keeps saying she is. After all, if she had nothing to hide about the quality of her work then there wouldn't have been any reason to keep her emails secure from FOIA requests.
Huh? Is Twitch publishing games now? Last I heard Twitch was a streaming platform. Players playing a game would use the Twitch website to stream it so others can watch at the same time.
Those aren't very good lobbying organizations if they are complaining about the details of the deal AFTER it has been signed and agreed upon by the company they are supposed to be representing.

When my passenger gets in, Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" is playing. He asks me, in tones of lofty condescension, if I was one of those people who discovered Nick Drake after one of his songs was used in a VW ad.
"What does it matter?" I ask.
He pontificates about poseurs and trend-followers and is just so generally annoying that I finally cough up.
"Actually, I discovered Nick Drake in the mid-'80s, because of R.E.M. Back then he was like a secret closely kept, and we traded tapes back and forth because the records were so hard to find. When I finally found any on vinyl, I was ecstatic. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that ad. I was about to watch The Daily Show, and I heard 'Pink Moon.' I told my roommate to turn the stereo off, and when I realized that it was coming from the television I was so startled I dropped my dinner plate."
Now my passenger thinks I'm cool. Which is utterly stupid.
"Dude, that makes no sense at all. It's like hating your favorite indie band once they sign to a major label, even if they still make good music. If you like it, you like it."
He starts to disagree, and I say, "Fuck that. All it means is that more people have been touched and moved by Nick Drake now than ever were when he was alive. And that's a very good thing."
I just wish he were here to see it.

Sofia Vergara Needs To Release The Tatas
Here's Sofia Vergara leaving the gym in her disgusting sloppy gym outfit. She needs to start showing off those massive tits of hers, she's always covering up the goods, she'd be a bigger star than Salma Hayek if she'd just let those things out. Come to think of it, Sofia and Salma should do a semi erotic, busty good cop/Mexican cop movie together wearing uniforms made out of wet t shirts. You know you'd go see it.

George Strait Inviting Kenny Chesney on Tour in 2014?
George Strait is getting set to wrap up the 2013 leg of his two-year farewell tour in his home town of San Antonio, but he'll be back next year -- and 'warns' fans to expect the unexpected.
George Strait is getting set to wrap up the 2013 leg of his two-year farewell tour in his home town of San Antonio, but he'll be back next year -- and 'warns' fans to expect the unexpected.
King of Country George Strait just released his new album, 'Love Is Everything,' with the same goal in mind that he's always had -- to top himself.
After making 39 albums you'd think it would become mundane to make the 40th. In a rare sit down interview, George Strait says that's not the case for him. He still loves going into the studio and is always looking to make "the best album he has ever done." Click to watch a rare sit down interview with George discussing the new album and his farewell tour.
Superstars George Strait and Garth Brooks will pay tribute to iconic music business figure Dick Clark in a special performance at the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards.
The release date and title for George Strait's hotly-anticipated new album have been confirmed. The legendary singer's management announced via Twitter on Sunday (March 17) that he will release 'Love Is Everything' on May 14. Incredibly, it is Strait's 40th studio album.
Have you heard of the 'Sixty For Sixty' campaign? It's a push to make GEORGE STRAIT get his 60th #1 single while he's still 60 years old. For that to happen, his song 'Give It All We Got Tonight' has to make it to #1 before his birthday on May 18th. Several celebrities have banned together to help put the King of Country into a category all his own.
George Strait is going out with a bang. The singer, who is retiring from active touring after he wraps the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, sold out another show at a seriously rapid clip. The gig at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, scheduled for June 1, sold out in six minutes, moving 72,000 tickets. Demand for Strait remains sky high!
As one of the reigning kings of country music, George Strait has scored 59 No. 1 hit singles during his illustrious his career. That's why it's not surprising that the Country Radio Hall of Fame honored Strait with a Career Achievement Award at Tuesday's (Feb. 28) ceremony.
There are certain country songs that are classics and have been around forever. However, these familiar tunes, surprisingly never went to #1 on the country music charts. Some did even make it into the top 5. CMT put together a list of the Top 10 Classic Country Songs that NEVER made it to #1. Here's a few songs that surprised me with their peak position on the charts.
Back in the day, when guys couldn't muster the words to say I Love You, they'd make their girl a mix tape. In today's world of technology I guess we would make a playlist. Whatever you call it, if you can't find the words to say it, here are 5 country songs that will do it for you.
This dapper young fella is all dressed up to sing a classic from the King. We love the seafoam button-down and necktie. Sure, it's probably a clip-on, but have you ever tried to knot a double windsor? His stiff white hat is a throwback to the time George Strait first made 'Amarillo by Morning' a country hit in 1983.
Frank Dycus, the man who helped write hit songs like 'Marina del Ray' for George Strait and 'Gonna Get a Life' for Mark Chesnutt, has died. The songwriter had over 500 songs published during a 45-year career that included many works with frequent Strait songwriter Dean Dillon.

We finally decided it was time to join the internet world. Jeff at BlueChannel was so very helpful, he helped me step by step on what we needed to launch our business. He constantly kept in touch and guided me on what I needed to do. He has the patience of a saint and was always cheerful and helpful. If you need a web site please contact this company they know what they are doing and they know how to get it done.
From start to finish working with Blue Channel is an exceptional experience. They are professional, client centric and detail oriented. I recommend their services to anyone who seeks to accomplish a project on schedule and within their budget.
Blue Channel was an incredible partner to have throughout every phase of our new website development and launch. From the initial concepts to the finished product, they really worked to understand our business and the unique needs and functionality of our site. They delivered on time and on budget. Blue Channel worked with us every step of the way — through some unavoidable setbacks on our end — with great patience and attention to detail. We are so happy with the end product!
What a great experience. The whole team at Blue Channel was super helpful in so many ways. The service was fantastic and the website they built me, beautiful. I never waited for a response to any question more than half a day, and it always felt like my project was on the top of their list. Every person I dealt with was friendly and professional, and showed genuine interest in my project and contributed beyond site development to my vision. Thanks again for a excellent product and getting it done within the budget.
We needed to re-do our website and had a very short timeline. The team at Blue Channel took on our project with an awesome 'let's get this done' attitude. Jeff, Liz and Paul worked hard to have our new site go live right on time! They delivered an extremely high quality product that was exactly what we were looking for. The whole team was very responsive and accommodating. Every detail was addressed and customized to fit our specific needs. Their organization, knowledge and efficiency helped us achieve the results we wanted in the time period we had. We would recommend them to any other company in any industry and will continue to use them for all of our website needs.
The staff at Bluechannel made this process easy by always staying on task, being organized and thoroughly communicating with everyone involved leaving zero doubt of a wonderful finished product.
Thanks for the information in your newsletter. All the work that your team and I did on the website is really paying off as we have really moved up in the search engines. A big thanks to Liz and Jeff!! I could not have done it without them.
Overall the experience has been very positive. You were very attentive to details, your work efforts were exemplary, and you delivered on all your promises. I love the way we can provide you with a concept, and the Bluechannel team can run with the idea and represent it back in so many creative ways. We would recommend you in a heartbeat!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Wal-Mart Stores' own supercenters exhibited lower prices in a comparison with Amazon and Walmart.com, though each option had its own strengths, according to a study by Kantar Retail here. Selecting 36 national-brand items from edible grocery, non-edible grocery, HBC and general merchandise, the study found supercenters had the lowest overall prices in the two consumables categories and was tied in HBC. Walmart.com was priced 7% above supercenters overall, ...

Can you take off your partisan hat long enough to discover something so vital it will substantially improve your performance and your business? If you're nodding yes please read on.
Every four years Americans (and those who pay attention to American politics) are treated to one of the best living laboratories of marketing and branding available anywhere – the race for president of The United States.
In the POTUS contest we find a zero sum game that is won or lost based on the allocation of three non-renewable resources – dollars, attention, and votes. If I had more time I could effectively argue why the function of the candidates themselves (i.e., where they stand on the issues) is not the main reason why most get elected. Instead, it's the power of their brand value and their ability to distribute that brand message through technology.
For example, between 1933 and 1944 Franklin Delano Roosevelt enthralled American citizens with his "Fireside Chats." Of course, what we know today is that by harnessing the newest outreach technology of his time – radio – FDR cemented his position as a media master.
In 1960 candidate John F. Kennedy also mastered a nascent technology when he beat Richard Nixon for the presidency. Historians attribute JFK's win to his superior performance in the first televised presidential debate. Ironically, those who listened to the event on radio said Nixon won the contest but television viewers gave the victory – and the presidency – to the more youthful appearing JFK.
In 2008 and again in 2012, an almost unknown candidate with an unlikely name, Barack Hussein Obama, rode his media mastery all the way to the Oval Office. In this case it was Obama's understanding of the Internet and how to use the emerging technology to attract both dollars and devotees that assured his successes first over John McCain and then Mitt Romney.
And in 2016 Donald Trump used new tech – in Trump's case reality television and social media – to win his party's nomination (the presidency has not yet been officially decided).
In three of these instances it was the early adoption of the most popular and available communication technologies of the time that helped their masters become the President of The United States. In the fourth, utilizing state-of-the-art technology gave Trump his party's nomination. But a deeper look reveals that it was a profound understanding of their audiences that gave each of them their advantage.
In each case the candidates displayed a clear All About Them strategy that made their supporters feel good about themselves. In FDR's case it was his famous quote, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." These simple words empowered Americans battered by the Great Depression and frightened by the rise of both Nazi power in Europe and Japanese aggression in Asia to move forward into the global reality with confidence.
Likewise JFK's vision of Camelot, expressed in both his words and his movie star visage, also empowered Americans to embrace hope and opportunity.
Obama did the same with his now famous three-word mantra, "Yes we can!" Obama's line was positive ("Yes"), inclusive ("We"), and aspirational ("Can"). As a matter of fact, I believe "Yes we can" will go down in history as the second or third best advertising line ever written (Want to know the first two? Drop me a line and I'll tell you).
And even Donald Trump – who has taken a decidely more negative approach to his communications than the previous three – makes his followers feel better about themselves. After all, if a successful billionaire such as Trump can speak as despairingly as he has about women, Mexicans, Moslems, disabled reporters, Jews, and other minorities, then perhaps less successful people who have said (or thought) the same things can feel better about themselves for what was heretofore socially unacceptable behavior.
The idea of creating an All About Them brand can be summed up this way: A good brand makes people feel good. A great brand makes people feel good about themselves. Powerful brands from Apple to Zynga have used this simple yet profound formula to create the transformational brand value that generates enormous shareholder value. Powerful politicians use the same effective know-how to win their seats. Especially when they run for the president of the United States. And you can do it to build your personal and professional success too.Published on October 18th, 2016
By now you've probably heard the joke about Trump and Samsung:
What do the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Donald Trump have in common?
One overheats for no reason, spontaneously bursts into flames, and is creating a disastrous situation for its stakeholders and supporters.
The other is a smartphone.
I know, I know. You'd laugh if it didn't make you want to cry.
But despite the obvious similarities for Trump and Samsung and their brands, the way they're handling their problems are light years apart. And the difference is something you can learn from, whether you're a Samsung user – or a Trump supporter – or not.
While the electronics giant is trying to figure out if it's only a battery defect that's affecting their Note 7 smartphones, Samsung has announced they've decided to stop producing the entire line. Their official announcement is that it's for the sake of consumer safety and for Samsung to regain the trust of their consumers. According to CBC News, Samsung will also "provide a full refund at the original price or replace Note 7 units with any other model of Samsung phone, and give refunds of the difference in prices, along with a 300 yuan ($45) voucher." But I'm sure as days pass Samsung will significantly sweeten the pot and make sure that their consumers know how contrite and concerned the company feels.
Trump has taken a very different tact. Instead of apologizing for any of his misdeeds, the Republican presidential candidate has doubled down on his aggressive strategy. He's written his vulgar words off as "locker room talk" and tried to pivot by accusing former president Bill Clinton of doing much worse. And Trump continues to toss red meat to his supporters with his hastily arranged press conferences, promises of investigating Hillary Clinton, and accusations that the press is even more crooked than his opponent.
Here's why:
First, unlike Trump the politician, Samsung is not a one-trick pony. Even though it's estimated that their exploding smartphones will cost the company four to five billion dollars, Samsung earns income and continues to please customers with their semi-conductors, display panels, and even their other smartphone, the flagship S-series.
Trump, on the other hand, has no other political options. Election day will be a make-it or break-it for him and his campaign.
Second, because Samsung is attacking the problem head on they still have the chance to prove that the faith their loyal fans have trusted in them was not misplaced. Because Trump is not admitting any wrongdoing (other than saying he was embarrassed and sorry "…if anyone was offended") he will have to face the wrath of the electorate once he fails to lead them to the promised land.
Finally, Samsung has lots of upcoming chances to introduce new innovations and sexy new reasons for people to reconsider their products. But Trump is playing a zero-sum game. Ever since the 12th amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1804, the second place finisher in the race for the US presidency does not get to be vice-president. Instead, one candidate goes on to occupy the White House while the other goes home to lick their wounds.
It's true that Trump's approach has energized his base. Unfortunately for Trump and his followers, his brand strategy doesn't make mathematical sense. Because while hundreds or even thousands of people may clap and cheer at Trump's rallies, millions of Americans vote (126 million in 2012). And while the majority of those voters won't be voting for Trump, they might be following the election results on their new Samsung smartphone.

One of the most difficult challenges I deal with is prioritizing time. I'll bet you have this same problem.
Of course there are days when prioritizing time is easy because my clients have problems that take all my attention. There are days when prioritizing time is easy because I have critical deadlines. And there are days when prioritizing time is not a concern because there's much on my plate all I can do to get from one thing to the next.
But it occurred to me that maybe I should be in better control of prioritizing time instead of letting external forces decide what I do. Perhaps then I'd be more productive, be more successful, and even enjoy my work a little more.
That's when my buddy Josh Mayer showed me this little tool for prioritizing time. It has been a life changer. And a life saver.
Start with the lower right hand quadrant. The letter "B" stands for "Bad." Use this area to fill in all the things you are bad at. Remember you don't have to show this to anyone so be as self-reflective and honest as you can.
Next move one quadrant to the left. The letter "A" here stands for "Adequate." It's your invitation to list the different things that you're so-so at doing. Not good, not bad, just adequate.
When you're done with the "Adequate" square, ladder up to "G." As you've probably figured out, "G" stands for "Good." By this point I'll bet you already know what to do here. List the things you do well and you're good at accomplishing.
Finally, shift one quadrant to the right where you'll find "UQ." "UQ" stands for "Uniquely Qualified." Here is where you list the things that you do that set you apart, the things you do that bring real, profound value. These are the things you do that matter.
Once you've established your B, A, G, and UQs, you need to plan your life to spend as much time as possible in the UQ quadrant. Of course getting rid of the Bs is easy – those are things you're not good at and you don't enjoy doing anyway. Delegate them away – you can simply hire someone to do those tasks for you. And before you tell me that hiring a personal assistant is a luxury you can't afford remember: If you don't hire an assistant you are an assistant.
Getting rid of the As is not hard either. Sure you can do them adequately, but why bother?
What you'll discover is that it's the Gs that make prioritizing time so difficult. That's because it's hard to delegate the things you're good at. After all, we like doing the things we do well. They're fun, we get a nice jolt of dopamine from them, and people often compliment us a job well done. But if we're merely good at them it means someone else can do them as well or maybe even better. And if we allow someone else to do those things then we can concentrate on what really matters.
By spending as much time as possible in the UQ arena we can focus our energy on what really matters. And we can accomplish things – for ourselves, our businesses, our clients, our friends and our families – that add real value. Not to mention we can enjoy the satisfaction of maximizing our potential.
As I said earlier, even though the chart is easy, prioritizing time with this exercise is not. But if you make a serious effort to minimize the time you spend on B, A, and G, and maximize your time working on the UQs, you will see a real difference in your output, your accomplishments, and your satisfaction.Published on October 4th, 2016
L.M. Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables wrote that the most powerful sentences in English are three words or fewer:
"He is gone."
"She is dead."
"Too late."
The advertising industry seems to back up a count of three words as well:
"Just Do It."
"Think Different."
"Got Milk?"
And successful political campaigns, too, seem to follow Montgomery's direction to stay at three words or fewer:
"I like Ike."
"Yes we can."
Of course, just having a tagline of three words or less doesn't guarantee success. "Drill baby drill" didn't work for John McCain any better than "Jobs. Peace. Opportunity" worked for Walter Mondale or "We Luv McGov" worked for George McGovern.
But clearly, being able to express your emotional advantage in as few words as possible is a very clear and compelling way to communicate your brand.
"Life is Good."
"Finger Lickin' Good."
"I Love NY."
Taking a page from my own blog and practicing what I preach, my four most recent books both have three words or less in their titles.
What is the takeaway here that you can benefit from? It is a clear understanding that keeping your communications clear and concise is a powerful way of making your point. And while your temptation might be to be as thorough and explanatory as possible, experience, and L.M. Montgomery suggests otherwise.
To learn more about how to do this and so many more techniques, read All About Them, my new book on how to grow your business by focusing on others.
You can find All About Them at your favorite bookstore or on your choice of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and 800-CEO Read. And because All About Them is all about you, you can order the hardcover book, the e-book for your Kindle, or an audio book on Audible or CD.
More importantly, you can find how to change the positioning of your product or service to make it All About Them and communicate your point in only three words. And that will be very, very good.Published on September 27th, 2016
Local Politics
Because "all politics are local," today I want to talk about local politics.
It's easy to understand that between state congressional races, city and county commission seats, judge appointments, and more, local races can be very confusing and hard to follow. Often the most important thing a local political wannabe can hope for is to be noticed and remembered.
That must have been the entire strategy of "Doc" Lolomo who's running for state representative in District 115. As you'll see from his election poster below, Lolomo wants you to elect him because he's "The Wise Choice." And he's confirmed that point by surrounding his name and tagline with stars. He also wants you to know what district he's running in, what seat he's running for, and what number he wants you to select in the voting booth.
My guess is that other than a unique name – Lolomo – there's actually nothing you'll remember about this poster. Nor is there anything you would care about that might coerce your vote.
Ross Hancock, on the other hand, has created a simple poster that tells you everything you need to know to select him. Because his name is the same as the famous signer of the constitution and the insurance company, Hancock has used a recognizable signature to help us remember his name. And by showing someone (I assume it's Ross himself but who knows?) paddling through the Everglades, he's told us something about himself that might resonate with us. Finally, his tagline "Our water. Our kids. Our homes." tells us both what his issues are and why they matter to us.
While Doc Lolomo has a poster that does nothing except maybe sear his name onto our eyeballs, Ross Hancock has used two of the most important All About Them techniques in his pursuit of local politics.
As I wrote in my new book – All About Them – you want to build an idealized brand that speaks to your audience's needs and, more importantly, their wants. You want to build an idealized brand that resonates with consumers and lets them know that their lives will be better because of you. And you want to build an idealized brand that is truly you, only more so.
In the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama's "Yes we can" convinced over two-thirds of first-time voters to cast their ballots for the almost unknown freshman Illinois senator. And remember, Obama was running against the very well-known John McCain, a decorated war hero who had served two terms in the US Congress and then 22 years in the Senate. You can't get much more known than that.
While it would be nice to believe that these young American voters chose Obama strictly on the issues and were unswayed by more emotional concerns, cynical realism forces us to accept that their decision reflected how Obama's message resonated with them. "Yes we can" represented the best of what the candidate was offering. But more than that, it represented the best of what voters saw in themselves.
"Yes we can" was truly All About Them. And closer to home in local politics, Ross Hancock's communications are as well.
First an admission with some very strange timing: Anthony Iannarino wrote a new book that you simply have to read.
Why is the timing strange for this recommendation?
Because as you've no doubt seen, I've spent the last few weeks incessantly promoting my new book, All About Them. I've been on Facebook and Twitter, interviewed on CNN and Fox Business, done signings and podcasts, and everything else I can do to get people to order my book.
Why am I doing this?
Both because I truly believe it'll make a difference in the way you market your own business. And because I want to be a best seller.
In the course of getting the word out, my friend (and author of the foreword in All About Them) Bob Burg introduced me to Anthony Iannarino. Anthony was gracious enough to interview me on his podcast. And to prepare for the interview I did a little research and reading about Mr. Iannarino.
I've only got two things to say about Anthony: 1) Wow. And 2) you have to read his new book.
Here's a sample from Anthony's new book, The Only Sales Guide You'll Ever Need:
"How is it that a small number of salespeople are hugely successful, while the rest struggle to win deals? It's not because they sell more popular products or have less demanding clients. It's because these top producers have the right mindset and skills to continuously deliver for their companies and their clients."
Anthony breaks down the essentials of sales performance into 19 strategies, including:
Self-discipline: the most crucial element of sales success, and the most difficult. Train your discipline by creating a discipline list of good daily practices that break down your ultimate goals into actionable steps, such as calling three prospective clients a day. Make your commitments public to hold yourself accountable.
Business acumen: It's no longer enough to know your product well; salespeople need to understand the general business landscape and common business terminology. Most importantly, your clients are businesspeople. Sell to them by proving that you can think like a businessperson as well.
Closing: closing a sale isn't just about the final commitment to buy. There are a series of smaller commitments required along the way. Make your prospective client commit to you by adding value through a deep understanding of their needs and a clear vision of their future.
Iannarino's book is as useful for sales rookies who want to get their dream clients as it is for veterans who want to return to the basics to reach new heights. This is the definitive book on sales–the only sales guide you'll ever need.
HERE is the link where you can pre-order it.
But if you think that's a conflict for you, think about what a conflict it is for me – I have to stop promoting my book in order to promote Anthony's.
What can I say? Anthony Iannarino's book is that good.Published on September 13th, 2016
Today it's time to talk about the third P of creating an All About Them brand, positioning. After all, once you've dealt with Price and Product, it's important to understand what your product stands for.
Here's what your product doesn't stand for: the function of what you do. As we discussed yesterday, function is cost of entry. After all, when everything works and everything is available everywhere, we have to ladder up to create a brand that makes people want to buy from you.
Simply put, your new positioning needs to be about meaning. Not only the meaning of your company, your firm or your professional service but the meaning that your product or service bestows upon your customer.
In the good old days – usually referred to as the time before the Internet disintermediated everything – we used to say, "you are what you eat." In other words, your physical constitution is made up of the things you put into your body. But today we say, "you are what you consume." This means that we tell the world who we are by the things we consume.
Not only has this new concept of positioning changed that old saying, it's also changed the meaning of a saying I'm sure you've heard and probably repeated. Hockey great Wayne Gretzky famously said, "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." Now being a Miami Beach native, I'm no expert on hockey but even I know that Gretzky was talking about the vision of moving towards your goals. But when that old adage is applied to our customers, the interpretation becomes that you should position your brand not based on who your customer is but on whom they want to be.
What is the takeaway here that you can benefit from? It is a profound understanding that the things you do are no different from what your competition offers. At their most functional level, your products and services are worth what the market says they're worth. But at an emotional level what you do is worth as much as you say it's worth, IF you are positioning your brand in a way that imbues your services with meaning.
To learn more about how to do this and so many more techniques, read All About Them, my new book on how to grow your business by focusing on others.
You can find All About Them at your favorite bookstore or on your choice of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and 800-CEO Read. And because All About Them is all about you, you can order the hardcover book, the e-book for your Kindle, or an audio book on Audible or CD.
More importantly, you can find how to change your the positioning of your product or service to make it All About Them which will make all the difference in the world.Published on September 9th, 2016
You've spent almost all your time getting really good at what you do. College, maybe graduate school. An internship, entry-level job, moving up the ladder – learning, improving your skills, sharpening your abilities. Now you're running your own business or movin' on up the the C-suite and you're on the top of your game. Making the best product, offering the best service.
But at some point you're going to get a nagging suspicion that things aren't quite the way they seem. Maybe it's a deal that didn't go through. Maybe it's a client or a customer that wasn't as happy as they should have been. Maybe it was a buyer that went somewhere else. And little by little this nagging suspicion is going to continue to grow until it's the 900-pound gorilla in the room. You're thinking about it when you're at work and you're thinking about when you're at home. Chances are it's waking you up at night and you've spent some late night hours watching the lazy ceiling fan spin slowly in the darkness.
Here's the problem in a nutshell – your product or your service is cost of entry. What you do is the table stakes that get you in the game. Your product had better be good or no one's is going to buy it. But just because it's good doesn't mean they'll buy it either.
Computer companies are well known for promoting their digital advantages – called speeds and feeds – that their consumers neither understand nor care about. Camera manufacturers, too, fill their product specs with numbers and metrics that don't matter to the majority of their buyers. Car companies, electronics suppliers, and manufacturers of every stripe all fill their messaging with details of features and attributes that few of their buyers care about.
And it's not just hard good makers that suffer the folly of function. When was the last time you heard a doctor or lawyer crowing about where they went to school? When was the last time a realtor told you how many agents they employed? When was the last time a moving company bragged about the number of trucks they own or a restaurant listed all of their locations?
But you don't care how many degrees your doctor has; you care if they can solve your problem. You don't care where your lawyer went to school; you care if they can handle your case. You don't care how many agents work for the realty company you're planning to hire; you care if the realtor who works for you can sell your house. You don't care about how many trucks a moving company has; you care if they'll protect grandma's baby grand piano. And you don't care how many restaurants the company manages; you care about how your salad will taste right here and right now.
What this means to you is that it's time for a sober, gimlet-eyed look at your business' messaging to make sure you're not simply listing your features or cataloging your benefits but are making a clear and concise argument for how you make your customers' lives better.
To learn more about how to do this and so many more techniques, read All About Them, my new book on how to grow your business by focusing on others.
You can find All About Them at your favorite bookstore or on your choice of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and 800-CEO Read. And because All About Them is all about you, you can order the hardcover book, the e-book for your Kindle, or an audio book on Audible or CD.
More importantly, you can find how to change your focus from your product or service to make it All About Them which will make all the difference in the world.Published on September 8th, 2016

Everything. The hotel is great, big rooms, very tidy and clean, modern, etc. The location is also great, in the middle of the mountains, great views, etc. Finally, the people in charge are great, very helpful. We needed dypers on aSunday (nothing open in Switzerland on a Sunday), and they gave us theirs.
No t erally. Maybe I add a toaster to the breakfast room, but this is very minor because it was actually very good
the hotel was almost new, so everything was in excellent condition; the room has a lot of space (nice table by the window) and a superb bathroom (bathtub); the terrace (the view wasn't so great because it was facing other houses); the place (almost in the top of a mountain in the most beautiful zone of Valais); the global services of the hotel (garage, laundry)
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
