Hitting a Wall in the Enron Case?
The Justice Dept.'s net is drawing in a growing cast of characters from the Enron collapse. The latest: Lea Fastow, the wife of Andy Fastow, Enron's former chief financial officer. But indictments made public on May 1 only highlight the difficulties of the government's cases and the fact that prosecutors have yet to snag the biggest fish. "Because the Justice Dept. had to reach to its superweapon -- charging the spouse -- that suggests they have made little or no progress whatsoever against charging [former CEOs] Jeff Skilling or Ken Lay," says former federal prosecutor Jacob Frenkel.
An Enron employee from May, 1991, to May, 1997, Lea Fastow was charged separately from her husband with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and filing false income-tax returns as part of schemes allegedly masterminded by her spouse. Legal experts note that it's usually the defense lawyers who want to separate their clients at trial to avoid any "prejudicial spillover." But the government might be afraid that Lea's involvement in the main case would be a "distraction" that could elicit sympathy from the jury, especially since the couple has two young children, says Philip Hilder, a former federal prosecutor.
Andy Fastow, indicted in October, has professed his innocence. Lea, in a statement from her lawyers, did the same. "Mrs. Fastow is being charged in order to put pressure on her husband of 18 years.... These tactics are unfair and unjust," said her lawyers, Nanci Clarence and Andrew Jefferson Jr. Says Hilder: "The government seemingly was trying to leverage Mr. Fastow into accepting a plea with the threat of prosecuting his wife. It appears that Mr. Fastow is going to put the government to their proof and steadfastly is going to fight the charges."
With the prospect of his wife going to trial -- and likely on a faster track than he is -- Andy Fastow could yet be pressured to make a deal. But Robert Mintz, a white-collar criminal-defense lawyer at McCarter & English, points out that even if he does plea-bargain, the government will be hard pressed to drop all charges against Lea. Says Mintz: "Once the government has made a decision to bring charges, it's difficult to justify an outright dismissal of a case."
The government also unveiled superseding indictments in cases against Andy Fastow and former Enron broadband managers Kevin Howard and Michael Krautz. The latest grand-jury charges add defendants to those cases: former Treasurer Ben F. Glisan Jr., Global Finance Vice-President Dan Boyle, former broadband CEOs Kenneth Rice and Joseph Hirko, former broadband COO Kevin Hannon, and Scott Yeager and Rex Shelby, former broadband senior vice-presidents.
The government appears to be making progress in untangling Enron's complex web of businesses and the "special-purpose entities" used to bolster the energy company's reported financial results. But the indictments also indicate prosecutors' "inability to strike cooperating deals with any other significant defendants," says Mintz. Such deals were expected to follow the government's breakthrough plea agreement last August with Michael Kopper, a former finance exec and Fastow lieutenant. "It may well come down to the simple proposition that many of these defendants remain convinced that they committed no criminal acts," says Mintz.
Without the help of key executives, the government will certainly have a tougher time explaining these complex transactions to a jury. In the case of Andy Fastow, Glisan, and Doyle, prosecutors charge that they defrauded Enron and its shareholders through a series of deals with off-balance-sheet entities. The 109-count indictment, up from the original 78, alleges that Fastow, Kopper, Glisan, and others secretly enriched themselves at the company's expense. The indictment involving the broadband unit charges that former executives knowingly deceived investors about Enron's technological capabilities and its business performance while profiting from hefty stock sales.
On its face at least, the six-count indictment against Lea Fastow appears much simpler. She's charged with taking kickbacks in her husband's off-balance-sheet maneuvers, sometimes disguised as "gifts" from Kopper. The indictment also alleges that she caused her father to file a false tax return to disguise that the Fastows had tried to use him as an equity investor in one of the special-purpose entities. He allegedly received a breakup fee when Enron's counsel advised that Andy Fastow and his family couldn't participate. But Lea lied to her father's tax accountant about the nature of the fee, according to the indictment.
The Enron saga takes another plot twist. But the question remains: Where is it all going?

I had a bad Breast Implant Revision, now I have too much tissue on the bottom of my breasts. What are my options? (photos)
AS you can see I have to much tissue on bottom of breasts causing my nipples to show. I told my surgeon this and He was supposed to be the #1 breast surgeon advertising the internal bra procedure. I thought it would be my solution.This is what I got. Same problem only bigger. Went from 275cc to 350cc.
Doctor Answers 6
Breast "Bottoming Out"
A low-hanging lower breast is called pseudo-ptosis, and is a correctable problem. Tell your surgeon that you are unhappy with your current result, and communicate your concerns using your photos. A side view of your breasts would also be helpful for discussion. Once the breasts fully heal in a few months, your surgeon may be able to make additional corrections at minimal or no additional cost, depending on resources and policies. The breasts do appear fairly symmetric in your photos, which will make final shape adjustments much more predictable.
While I can see several problems based on the photos you have attached, I would advise you to wait 3 months before considering any surgical revision. The implants will continue to settle, and some of the abnormal skin contours along the breast fold will flatten out. Placing larger implants always conflicts with the ability to remove skin. When I am performing a combined mastopexy-augmentation, I will place smaller implants. It is possible to remove skin from the lower portion of the breasts in a subsequent procedure. This will drop the location of the nipples, but smaller implants will be required as well as an incision along the breast fold.

Complete information and personal exam for revision breast surgery
While the pictures do show the issues you are having, there is too little information to offer much advice online. There appears to be a lot of breast tissue in addition to the implants, so the internal bra can be a useful option in those cases. However, there are different materials used (Alloderm Strattice, SERI Scaffold, GalaFLEX), and different ways to place it (under the skin or around the implant). Judging from the appearance of the scars around the areolas, the nipple position does not appear to have been changed with the most recent surgery.

I had a bad Breast Implant Revision, now I have too much tissue on the bottom of my breasts. What are my options?
I am sorry to hear about your concerns after revisionary breast surgery. The pictures that you post demonstrate your concerns nicely. At some point, it is likely that you will benefit from additional breast surgery. Additional skin/tissue excision along the lower poles of the breasts, will likely be necessary to improve your situation. This operation will create a situation where the nipple/areola complexes sit more centrally on your breast mounds. They will be less likely to "peekaboo" over the tops of your bras/clothing. You may find the attached link, dedicated to revisionary breast surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Poor breast revision
Thank you for pictures. I would let this resolve over three months. You will most likely need another revision. This may involve removal of excess tissue along the lower portion of the breasts. This will convert your lollipop lift to an anchor lift. This will improve your shape and lower your nipple/areola complexes.
Good luck.

The Sea Fairies HTML version
10. He Undiscovered Island
In following the fleet of argonauts, the four explorers had risen higher in the water and
soon found they had wandered to an open space that seemed to Trot like the flat top of a
high hill. The sands were covered with a growth of weeds so gorgeously colored that one
who had never peered beneath the surface of the sea would scarcely believe they were not
the product of a dye shop. Every known hue seemed represented in the delicate, fern-like
leaves that swayed softly to and fro as the current moved them. They were not set close
together, these branches of magnificent hues, but were scattered sparsely over the sandy
bottom of the sea so that while from a distance they seemed thick, a nearer view found
them spread out with ample spaces of sand between them.
In these sandy spaces lay the real attractiveness of the place, for here were many of those
wonders of the deep that have surprised and interested people in all ages.
First were the starfishes--hundreds of them, it seemed--lying sleepily on the bottom, with
their five or six points extended outward. They were of various colors, some rich and
brilliant, others of dark brown hues. A few had wound their arms around the weeds or
were creeping slowly from one place to another, in the latter case turning their points
downward and using them as legs. But most of them were lying motionless, and as Trot
looked down upon them she thought they resembled stars in the sky on a bright night,
except that the blue of the heavens was here replaced by the white sand, and the
twinkling diamond stars by the colored starfish.
"We are near an island," said the Queen, "and that is why so many starfishes are here, as
they love to keep close to shore. Also the little seahorses love these weeds, and to me
they are more interesting than the starfish."
Trot now noticed the seahorses for the first time. They were quite small--merely two or
three inches high--but had funny little heads that were shaped much like the head of a
horse, and bright, intelligent eyes. They had no legs, though, for their bodies ended in
tails which they twined around the stems of seaweeds to support themselves and keep the
currents from carrying them away.
Trot bent down close to examine one of the queer little creatures and exclaimed, "Why,
the seahorses haven't any fins or anything to swim with."
"Oh yes we have," replied the Sea Horse in a tiny but distinct voice. "These things on the
side of my head are fins."
"I thought they were ears," said the girl.
"So they are. Fins and ears at the same time," answered the little sea animal. "Also, there
are small fins on our backs. Of course, we can't swim as the mermaids do, or even as
swiftly as fishes; but we manage to get around, thank you."

I have two coons at least who are coming in and killing animals. They have killed a rooster, chicken and two rabbits of mine. I want to know that I am doing everything right. What all do I need to hunt these and kill them? I also have friends who have coon hounds and will hunt them. Is a spotlight permit required as well and can they be hunted at any time at night???
No spot light permit is required for hunting raccoons when they follow the established IDFG Commission rules:
13.01.16 - The Trapping of Predatory and Unprotected Wildlife and the Taking of Furbearing Animals
400.2.d.Persons may hunt raccoon with the aid of an artificial light without a permit from the Director but no person hunting raccoon at night shall: (4-7-11) i. Hunt from a motorized vehicle. (7-1-93) ii. Use any light attached to any motor vehicle. (7-1-93) iii. Hunt on private land without obtaining written permission from the landowner or lessee. (7-1-93)

Columbia City Council won't put police staffing tax hike on Nov. ballot
Agrees to make changes to red light camera ticketing
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Columbia City Council agreed unanimously not to put a proposed police staffing property tax hike on the November ballot.
The tax lost its biggest supporter, Mayor Bob McDavid, last week. He originally proposed the 20-cent hike to hire 35 new officers in response to violent crime this summer. McDavid then backed down from it after comments made at a Columbia Police Officers' Association forum.
"I think we should pull this," McDavid told the council toward the end of a marathon meeting. "But I am committed to trying to get [more money for extra cops] done."
McDavid and the council agreed that any tax increase proposal needed to be better thought out and come as the result of public input. McDavid asked council and city staff to look into alternative tax options and come up with a plan to put a proposal on the April 2014 ballot.
Under the original proposal, the city's property tax could go up 3 percent or 20 cents for every $100 of value that goes toward the city of Columbia. That means a $150,000 home would cost $70 more per year in property taxes.
Other city leaders have been split on how to pay for increasing the number of officers in the city, but they all agreed on the need for more.
"I think [the Columbia Police Officers Association] is going to have a mixed reaction about this," CPOA executive director Dale Roberts told reporters after the vote. "We need officers now, but we were really concerned about a ballot proposal that would fail and be interpreted as the city saying we don't want more officers and we don't want to see that happening."
City Manager Mike Matthes addressed concerns from citizens and council about how to pay for more officers, saying the city cannot simply move money around between departments.
"It is now time to begin to add staff to begin to catch up," Matthes said, promising that growing the police force is a budget priority over the next several years.
In a separate issue, the council voted to approve on a proposal to change how the city issues red light camera tickets.
The city says dropping a requirement for a clear photo of the driver could result in more than $100,000 in new tickets, but said safety was the reason for the change.
Assistant city manager Tony St. Romaine also indicated that the change would save the city money because the technology and cameras required were far less complex.
Only two council members voted against the change.

On the 'Net
At www.healthyaltitu..., readers can view the full Ride for Your Life itinerary and track Gary's progress in terms of his heart rate average, speeds, calories burned, miles, power output wattage, mood test results and hydration levels. In addition, Gianetti, Campbell and operations manager Steve Bouchard plan to post blog entries and photos from the rides. Information also is available about donating to the project and to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
When Morgan Spurlock subjected himself to a 30-day experiment in 2004's Super Size Me to test the physiological and psychological effects of an exclusive diet of McDonald's fare, the numbers were alarming - Spurlock gained 25 pounds and did irrevocable damage to his liver after consuming an average of 5,000 calories a day and stopping exercise, limiting himself to 5,000 steps a day.
Gary Gianetti has a similar end goal in mind when it comes to raising awareness about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. But his method is based around exercise instead.
The 28-year-old Steamboat Springs resident and personal trainer's experiment is equally drastic, and, like Spurlock, he'll be monitoring his heart rate and mood.
But unlike Spurlock, the big "5,000" Gianetti hopes to tally for his project is at the other end of the spectrum and focuses on continuously burning calories.
Gianetti plans to ride 5,000 miles, broken up into 50 separate 100-mile cycling rides, in each of the 50 states, in 50 consecutive days.
You may want to read that again.
Every day, starting Aug. 18 with the Steeple Chase Bike Tour in Willimantic, Conn., and ending Oct. 6 on the 112-mile Ironman Triathlon World Championship bike course in Kona, Hawaii, Gianetti hopes to complete a "century ride."
'Ride for Your Life'
It could be called a mission for awareness, an experiment in output (Gianetti plans to publish research on the experience in conjunction with the University of Connecticut's Department of Kinesiology) or even a fundraiser - proceeds benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Gianetti is going with "Ride for Your Life," and Connecticut is a fitting start for the ride.
Gianetti grew up in Trumbull, Conn., and hopes his father, stepmother and two older brothers will be able to join him for parts of the first 100-mile ride.
After graduating from UConn in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in sports nutrition and exercise science, and later returning for a master's in health promotion, Gianetti was planning to move to Colorado, but decided to stay near home when his mother, Francine deBoer, became sick. Gianetti lost his mother to lung cancer Sept. 24, 2003, at age 52.
"You talk about how cancer affects families and communities - my mom held together our family, and it left us asking, 'What can we do?'" Gianetti said. "My brothers went in different directions. I took the initiative to be responsible for my health, and it's changed my life because of that."
Gianetti stopped smoking cigarettes and started running marathons. While running an ultramarathon, he met Sam Thompson, and then in the Los Angeles and Greater Hartford Marathons, he met Dean Karnazes. Once, he heard about how they both had run 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, the wheels in Gianetti's head started turning.
"With cycling, we'll be able to include more people - it's much more join-friendly," said Gianetti, who hopes to invite cyclists to join him on the rides - especially the ones he foresees as lonely, such as when he's plugging away at Midwestern courses like the Des Moines Tour De Cure (state No. 29). All the group rides are open to the public, but to help reach his goal of $100,000, Gianetti's team is suggesting a fundraising minimum of $175 per rider for each weekend or weekday ride. Benefits will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and other programs that empower cancer survivors.
Fifty century rides
The Ride for Your Life course was designed around nine official century ride weekend events, highlighted by LIVESTRONG Challenge rides in Philadelphia and Portland, Ore., and filled with weekday rides on established 100-mile tour and race courses.
Gianetti thinks the end of the tunnel will be visible once he returns home on day and state No. 39 Sept. 25 to ride the challenging 105-mile Tour de Steamboat course that climbs Rabbit Ears, Gore and Yellow Jacket passes.
But logistics coordinator Marin Campbell will be the one crisscrossing the country in a 2006 Dodge Caravan, making sure Gianetti is putting down some of the 100 pounds of pasta donated by Barilla or boxes of donated Honey Stinger Energy Bars and ready to get back on his 20-pound LeMond Alpe D'Huez cycle every morning in a fresh state.
Campbell is a little more worried about the home stretch of rides - they'll fly straight from Portland, Ore., to Anchorage, Alaska, then fly back to Seattle to knock off Washington, Idaho, Montana and then California in time to still make it to Hawaii for the finale.
"He's one of the most motivated, ambitious people I know, and he's always looking to bring everyone with him - it's 'hey, come along and do whatever you can, let's do this together,'" said Campbell, a 27-year old Steamboat resident and avid outdoor athlete who works at Backdoor Sports and coaches the Moffat County High School girls swim team. "He's perfect for the job."
A larger message
Campbell's life also has been affected by cancer - her father survived colon cancer, and both her grandmothers died from cancer - so she knows the message is larger than Gianetti.
"It's not about Gary as much as saying we all have challenges and this is mine, whether it's quitting smoking or dusting off your bike for a one-mile ride," Campbell said. "It's relative to each person. Our goal is to get out there as a nationwide event and reach out to people to take responsibility for their health."
Even as the team hopes to empower, they also are making final preparations. After riding 450 miles and burning 28,000 calories a week all summer, Gianetti is tapering his workouts. He loaded up the minivan Saturday for a "dry run," heading out to the 78-mile Colorado Cyclist Copper Triangle at Copper Mountain.
Gary knows how daunting the task ahead is, but he has the support and training.
And a seemingly unending stream of optimism. Before finishing his Friday 50-mile training ride in the rain, Gary revealed his secret weapon: "Coffee is going to be the secret to our success," he said with a grin, imaging the thousands of cups of joe it will take to get to that margarita on a Hawaiian beach.

"Jimmy is a treasure suggested by Roger Carter. He did the cake we wanted exactly out of the magazine pic and made sure we got all three unique flavor combos we requested. Everyone raved! I'm so glad we did NOT use A Piece of Cake in Newport whose tasting we went to first. The owner obviously forgot we were coming (from Northern VA), kept us waiting over an hour, microwaved everything, took smoke breaks, and hit on the groom...classy."
Roger E. Carter DesignsAtlantic Beach, NC, USA
"My wedding day went smoothly and everything was beautiful. Roger understood my vision and the result was almost exactly what I had imagined. As much as this pains me I have to give two stars because of the extreme lack of communication and nonchalant attitude PRIOR to the wedding. I hired Roger over a year before the wedding and while we did have two face-to-face meetings, everything else had to be done via phone or e-mail sine I live seven hours north of Atlantic Beach. The problem was, Roger took days, weeks, and sometimes even MONTHS to respond to my questions. I was far from a "bridezilla" but of course had imortant questions regarding the planning, which I paid a large sum for up front and in full. When he did respond, he acted like it was no big deal and assured me everything was great. Fine...but ya still need to respond in a timely and professional manner! It took my mother finally calling him a month before the big day and nicely requesting better communication before he made somewhat of an effort. Again I would like to say that I chose Roger because of the great review I read and the day was absolutely gorgeous and drama-free, which I completely appreciate. But it's sad to me that my only pre-wedding stress was caused by the one person who was supposed to alleviate it, and was paid very well to do so. If I had been a bridezilla, all I can say was that this review would not be so friendly!"
DJ Profressionals and VideoAtlantic Beach, NC, USA
"Patrick took time to meet with Billy and I and seemed cool with our very specific and somewhat unusual music requests. He told us to make a list of every song we wanted played and when, and the ones we didn't. He also appreciated our honesty when we asked for "more music, less chatter". He definitely delivered and was very cool. My one complaint is that during the reception I noticed songs being played that were not on my list while other requests were left out. Granted we were very specific and of course understand that everything would not be super perfect. But when I went up to ask him very nicely if he would please try and stick to the list, he said nothing and gave me a bit of a look. But all and all he did a really good job."
Roger E. Carter DesignsAtlantic Beach, NC, USA
"The flowers were indeed beautiful on the wedding day, however a few issues: 1. Because of problems mentioned above which Roger admitted to, I was nicely offered my requested orchids at no extra charge, which I accepted. On the day of my bridal portraits however, I was given a hideous bouquet of fake orchids to carry as well as fake orchids for my hair. I was actually embarassed with the bouquet but had no choice but to carry it for the pics. I did get the real deal on the wedding day thank goodness. 2. I specifically asked for no greenery and only flowers to be placed on my bamboo arbor on the wedding day. What I got was lots of greenery and fewer flowers! Also I had requested, even sent a pic, of three different shades of blue sheer fabric draped over the arbor. I was told this wouldn't be a problem. What I got was one shade of blue and white, and a totally lame excuse. If you can't give a bride what she requests, then don't tell her you can...no big deal!"

We wished that we had been told about this beforehand so maybe we could have chosen a song we liked. I think we might try to edit it. Otherwise we were very happy with everything and our families were as well."

"Lindsey from the Newport Belk Clinique counter did an absolutely amazing job on my bridal portrait makeup. It looked completely natural, a more beautiful version of me. She was so sweet and made me feel totally at ease, which I was grateful for since I had just come fromthe hair salon. Kristi Gray from the same staff came to the club to do the wedding day and she was also wonderful."
Wedding Day Beauty Vendor:
Kelly BellAtlantic Beach, NC, USA
"Kelly is Rogers business partner and again, extremely poor communication. None at all in fact. I tried to contact him for the almost six months leading up to my bridal portraits with absolutely no response. I called, emailed, even used facebook to send pics of hair I liked. All I wanted to do was discuss some ideas about styles so I could make sure we were on the same page. I Iive 7 hours away so it's not like I could do a bunch of trial runs. Roger assured me that everything would be fine. On the day of my portraits, the first day we ever spoke, I asked Kelly if he ever received any of my messages. His response, and this is a direct quote I swear, was "oh I got your messages but felt deliciously evil ignorning them knowing it was stressing you out." Then he laughed. Joke or not, it hurt. He did do a great job on my hair but a week later Roger informed me that Kelly would no longer be doing any bridal hair due to one too many bridezillas (although he assured me I was not one of them). They did give me a referral, but when I called that salon, everyone was booked solid on my wedding day. My mother finally talked Roger into getting Kelly to agree to do my hair when she called to discuss the other issues. This was after a week of me fretting over finding someone, less than a month before the wedding. He did do my hair and did a fine job, but all in all it was an awful and stressful experience. I also want to mention that Kelly's salon reeked of cigarette smoke (as did Roger's studio, where all the flowers and fabric were). SO unprofessional!"

Transcribed for hiba by Asma Imran
I would like to highlight some lessons from the story of the Ashab-e-Kahf (People of the Cave) which I feel are significantly missing in Muslim discourse especially those related to our youth.
Withdrawal from Mainstream Culture
The first thing I want to talk about is the cultural onslaught. The People of the Cave drew themselves away from the dominant culture when they observed that it was overwhelmingly evil. Actually, a verdict was passed against them according to which they were to be executed as a result of their faith; so they pulled themselves out.
One of the most important lessons to draw from this is that until our lives are in danger, we have to engage with the society. As Muslims, we cannot have the attitude that we are not going to mingle in the society because everything outside is a Fitnah from which we have to protect and shelter ourselves, and the only way we are going to preserve our faith is by totally shutting ourselves out from the outside world. This means that we've already accepted defeat. It says that everybody else is attacking us, and we've got to save ourselves by pulling back and staying strong within our fort.
However, the entire idea of Islam and the imagery that Allah (swt) presents of Islam is that of truth being hurled against falsehood. Allah (swt) gives the image of truth being like a weapon and falsehood being the victim and running away. Thus, the truth is attacking falsehood, and falsehood is on the run. So who's on the offense and who's on the defence? Who's actually questioning the wrong happening in our society and engaging with it and saying: "We are here to change things?" That's the truth. And who's actually supposed to go into hiding? That's supposed to be falsehood.

Today, content strategists, media, and PR firms like to advise companies to start telling compelling stories as an effective way to truly engage a brand's customer base and to generate more revenue.
Good storytelling really is the key to an effective content marketing strategy. There is likely nothing more compelling and engaging than telling a great story. Whether they're spoken in a whisper and then passed on by word-of-mouth, written up eloquently in a book, or adapted for viewing on TV or on a cinema screen in a darkened room, stories are carefully designed to suspend your disbelief and draw you into their particular universe for a time.
At the heart of any good story there lies some kind of dramatic conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist. And central to any great dramatic conflict is something that reveals an important aspect of the human condition. It is this "condition" that helps to drive your empathy with the protagonist; it is the fuel to drive your story.
Common human condition examples that show up in well-known (written and filmed) stories include: the need to save others from their impending doom, the ability to survive and overcome grave danger to oneself and/or to those that one is closest to, proving that one is truly worthy against overwhelming and unfair odds, resisting the temptation and corrupt rewards that play to one's greed and desires, romantic stories where our protagonist needs to convince Mr. or Ms. Right that they are the right person for them to walk through life with, despite an apparent lack of mutual interest, and last but not least the frequently used theme of making a strong comeback once others have written you off for good. These and others are heartfelt human conditions that serve to stir up our emotions.
The big question then, for modern marketers, is how to relate these proven strategies to your particular brand and business. To what scale and at what financial cost can one apply such storytelling techniques to successfully exploit these universal themes of the human condition that apply to us all for the purpose of engaging the consumer?
Storytelling may well date back to the days of the caveman, but applying these kinds of techniques to a series of products and/or services in our modern age is something that requires the cultural, social, marketing, and technological understanding of the 21st century and an appreciation of the art of modern-day communications, and how it is swiftly changing around us.
Brands increasingly need to resonate not only with relevant human condition themes that are truthful to them, but they also need to insert themselves into the settings and human issues that are pertinent to those around them.
To place one's brand in a modern cultural and social setting, the savvy digital marketer needs to be much more sensitive to the issues and challenges that we face each and every day, while also knowing what their brand story is really about and how to go about sharing this well in a digital way.
In terms of the likely cost implications of a marketing strategy like this, telling a story that has genuine depth to it is likely to be far less expensive than trying to broadcast a more superficial and sugar-coated tale about your brand that desperately seeks all the media attention it can find to get noticed. This does not mean that storytelling is going to be cheap to undertake, because even if broadcast across social media, it requires a sizable level of investment in order for it to be really noticed. A poorly created story will no doubt be much more costly, as it is likely to get lost without significant media investment, whereas a compelling story has a greater chance of being shared.
How can you produce a compelling story? The hero should rightly be the heart of any great story, even for a business. There are interesting stories to every business, whether it's a story on Steve Jobs, who founded and built Apple into what it is today, or Jack Ma, who turned Alibaba from a simple idea into one of the world's greatest e-commerce companies.
However, you don't need a modern-day superhero to tell a great story – there are many other tales out there to be told. Your brand may want to help enhance a person's financial security, it may be developing its products to be more eco-friendly, it may have ordinary people working in the company who are really dedicated and care immensely about the business and want to share their stories, or it may even want to reach out to a different audience due to ever-changing needs…there are numerous stories out there – you simply need to find them.
Great content marketing does require good storytelling abilities, which can be either learned or be purchased at a much greater cost by hiring and paying others. The art of using content marketing to tell a compelling brand story is not just about making up a good tale to tell everyone about your company and products. It is also about telling the truth in relation to your business and services by using effective storytelling techniques that help to generate greater interest, suspense, and also provide an engaging narrative that excites your audience and connects your brand with your customer base.
When storytelling techniques are carefully and closely aligned to your brand identity and purpose, this can help to build and reinforce powerful and engaging two-way communications that we can relate to and can never seem to get enough of.
There is no one magic wand or silver bullet that can change everything in storytelling terms – it is far more likely to be a combination of many smaller stories and initiatives, which feed into a much larger, overarching story with plots and sub-plots, that collectively become the driving force to develop genuine brand engagement and add power to your content strategy as well as your overall marketing.

The fisher (Martes pennanti) is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. It is classified in the order Carnivora, family Mustelidae – a family that also includes weasels, mink, martens, and otters.
Adult fishers are light brown to dark blackish-brown, with the face, neck, and shoulders sometimes being slightly gray. The chest and underside often have irregular white patches. The fisher has a long body with short legs and a long bushy tail. Males range in length from 90 to 120 centimeters (35 to 47 inches), and weigh 3 to 6 kilograms (6.6 to 13.2 lbs). Females range from 75 to 95 cm (29 to 37 in) in length and weigh 1.5 to 2.5 kilograms (3.3 to 5.5 lbs).
Fishers are found across Canada and in four areas of the United States – New England, Great Lakes, Northern Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest. In the Northern Rocky Mountains, fishers are distributed in northwest and west-central Montana and northern and north-central Idaho with rare detection in southwestern Idaho. Snowtrack surveys have documented fisher in Glacier National Park in the 1980s and the Greater Yellowstone area in the late 1990s, but more verified records are needed to confirm the presence of fisher in these areas.
Fishers live in coniferous and mixed conifer and hardwood forests and are found commonly in mature forest cover. Riparian forests and habitat close to open water such as streams are important to fishers in northern California and the Rocky Mountains of Idaho. In the Rocky Mountains, fishers avoid areas of deep, fluffy snow and select riparian areas with relatively gentle slopes and dense canopy cover that may provide protection from snow during winter. Cavities and branches in trees, snags, stumps, rock piles, and downed timber are used as resting sites, and large diameter live or dead trees are selected for natal and maternal dens.
Fishers are opportunistic predators primarily of snowshoe hares, squirrels, mice, and birds. Carrion and plant material (e.g., berries) also are consumed. The fisher is one of the few predators that kills porcupines, and porcupine remains have been found more often in the gastrointestinal tract and scat of fisher than any other predator. As dietary generalists, fishers tend to forage in areas where prey is both abundant and vulnerable to capture. The physical structure of the forest and prey associated with forest structures are thought to be the critical features that explain fisher habitat use, rather than specific forest types.
Fishers are solitary except during the breeding season, which is generally from late February to the middle of May. Litter sizes for fishers range from one to six with a mean of two to three kits. New born kits are entirely dependent and may nurse for 10 weeks or more after birth. Kits develop their own home ranges by one year of age. Populations of fisher fluctuate in size, and reproductive rates may vary widely from year to year in response to the availability of prey.
Recent Actions: June 2011: The Fish and Wildlife Service completed a status review of the fisher in the U.S. Northern Rocky Mountains, and concluded it does not warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act in Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming.
We analyzed potential factors that may affect the habitat and range of the fisher in the U.S. Northern Rocky Mountains including timber harvest and management, climate change, fire, forest disease, furbearer trapping, disease and predator relationships, inadequacy of existing regulatory mechanisms, and the effects of small population size. We concluded that these potential factors do not significantly impact the species.
Even though the species will not be protected under the Endangered Species Act, we recognize that the fisher in the Northern Rockies may benefit from increased management emphasis due to its need for forest cover and its susceptibility to capture and mortality from furbearer harvest. We recommend and encourage additional research to improve the understanding of the species and precautionary measures to protect the species.
To assist in monitoring the fisher in the U.S. Northern Rockies, we ask the public to submit any new information on the fisher's status or impacts. Please submit your comments to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana Ecological Services Field Office, 585 Shepard Way, Helena, MT 59601.

- Press Release: June 29, 2011 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Determines Fisher In The Northern Rocky Mountains Does Not Warrant Protection Under The Endangered Species Act
- Questions and Answers
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently determined that the Northern Rocky Mountain distinct population of the fisher may warrant federal protection as a threatened or endangered species. The Northern Rocky Mountain population area includes portions of northern Idaho, western Montana, and northwestern Wyoming.
The Service will undertake a more thorough review of the fisher to determine if adding the species in the Northern Rocky Mountains to the federal list of threatened and endangered wildlife and plants is warranted.

"For their pioneering work on radiative corrections, which made precision electroweak studies a powerful method of probing the Standard Model and searching for new physics."
Dr. Sirlin was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
During 1948-52 he studied at the University of Buenos Aires, and in 1953 received the degree of Dr. in Physical-Mathematical Sciences. In 1953 he was a fellow at the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he attended some graduate courses, including a memorable one with Richard Feynman, and did research work.
During the academic year 1954-55 he studied at UCLA, where he initiated his work on electroweak physics in collaboration with Robert Finkelstein and Ralph Behrends. During the academic years 1955-57 Dr. Sirlin was a graduate student at Cornell, where he received the Ph.D. degree in 1958. Dr. Sirlin's main research work at Cornell was on electroweak physics, in collaboration with Toichiro Kinoshita. During the academic years 1957-59 he was a research associate at Columbia. Dr. Sirlin became an Assistant Professor of Physics at NYU in 1959, an Associate Professor in 1961 and a full Professor in 1968.
His main research interests have been in precision electroweak physics, other topics in weak interaction theory, the search for higher symmetries of the strong interactions, non-topological solitons, theorems on symmetry-breaking, some aspects of QCD, and the theoretical treatment of unstable particles.
He is a fellow of the American Physical Society. In 1983 he was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship and, in 1997, received the Alexander von Humboldt Award.

Contract mining company
WA-based MacMahon was awarded the contract for rail earthworks and track laying for an 85km spur line to connect Karara to Tilley Siding near Morawa, about 225 km south-east of Geraldton.
Gindalbie said the track itself would be supplied by Gindalbie's project partner, Ansteel, the largest producer of rail in China and a world leader in the efficient production of high-quality rail products.
Gindalbie managing director Garret Dixon said Macmahon was chosen for its strong project knowledge and experience constructing remote location iron ore railways.
"Macmahon has played a leading role in the redevelopment and construction of some of the busiest rail networks throughout urban and rural Australia and was a logical choice for us," Mr Dixon said.
"We are also pleased to be working with another West Australian-based company to deliver an additional major contract at Karara."
Macmahon will use subsidiary MVM Rail to carry out components of the contract.

• Communications and navigation: The trend goes toward integrating and networking GPS, electronic charts, radar and autopilot. But beyond the purchase, there is a price to pay for so much sophistication and convenience: You have to keep on top of it with maintenance and regular upgrades. Reducing this to the bare essentials, I'm intrigued by a hand-held VHF radio with integrated Digital Selective Calling and GPS, like the Standard Horizon HX850S (www.standardhorizon.com). This allows the skipper to communicate and send emergency messages that include vessel name and position. If it is waterproof and/or floats, like the HX850S, the better.
• Distress alert: Get used to commercial services that operate outside the traditional COSPAS-SARSAT distress alerting system, used by 406 MHz EPIRBs and PLBs. One example is the SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker (www.findmespot.com). It costs $150 over the counter — a lot less than a PLB (around $600) or EPIRB (around $800 to $1,200), but it requires a $150 annual subscription to make full use of its tracking and alerting features, plus $8 for insurance that covers up to $100,000 for rescue services and extraction. Unlike EPIRBs or PLBs, SPOT contacts Geos Alliance, a commercial outfit that decides what authority to alert to your predicament. The SPOT concept is new and needs to build a track record before we see how it balances the mandate of making a buck with the mission of saving lives. Let's just hope it doesn't become an HMO for rescue services.
• Medical and seasickness: A sick sailor is a bad sailor, and that's not safe. To prevent or treat mal de mer, I'd opt for drug-free relief. The ReliefBand (www.reliefband.com) is an FDA-approved $150 wristband that stimulates the median nerve in the wrist with electric impulses to counteract motion sickness. Treating injuries on board requires a presorted medical kit and a good manual (like "Marine Medicine" by Drs. Eric Weiss and Michael Jacobs) in case you don't have a doctor or a registered nurse on the boat. Medical kits are available in many configurations that cost anywhere from around $6 to $840, depending on crew size and trip length (www.adventuremedicalkits.com).
• Signaling: A good set of SOLAS flares that are not outdated, a waterproof flashlight and a personal marker light are sensible choices alerting others in the event of an emergency. A waterproof laser flare with a focused and far-ranging beam (www.greatlandlaser.com) has been proven effective for night signaling. Multifunction lights like the ACR Doublefly help alert rescuers to a victim's presence with a strobe and let them home in on the exact position for the final approach in incandescent mode (www.acrelectronics.com). Don't forget emergency whistles and/or air horns for acoustic signaling in bad visibility.
• Miscellaneous items: Your ditch bag should be configured to suit your plans and the level of self-sufficiency you need to achieve peace of mind. Items to pack include survival blankets, signaling mirrors (or Jimmy Buffett CDs), manual watermaker, emergency food rations, water desalinator, backup radio and GPS, and a good utility knife with built-in flotation. For long offshore passages I'd also consider a collision avoidance system, such as the AISWatchMate (www.vespermarine.com), which uses the shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS). Mounted in the cockpit close to the watchstander, the AISWatchMate doesn't require a computer or separate software, and receives data from all AIS-equipped vessels in the vicinity, sounding an alarm if a potentially dangerous situation develops (see On Sailboats, November 2008).
Stuff can and will happen on a boat, but that's the point: Sailing, like other worthwhile pursuits, isn't 100 percent safe. The basics — flotation, communications and signaling — have to be covered, but beyond that the choice of gear depends on your assessment and sailing style. Developing safety consciousness and internalizing procedures that help prevent what is preventable will go a long way in managing risks and creating a satisfying experience for everyone on board.
One last thought: Don't buy cheap. It could be the most expensive mistake you've ever made — because Poseidon will tell Admiral Murphy.
Dieter Loibner is sailing editor for Soundings.

Domain names point towards a particular IP address and they are easier to remember as compared to a number series. It is important to have a domain name before setting up a web site. Web addresses like mywebsite.com is an example of a domain name that is easy to retain.
Now all websites are assigned with a unique IP address which comprises of a series of numbers. E.g. 123.456.78.9. These number series are converted or translated into domain names like mywebsite.com. All domain names are registered in a central registry maintained by InterNIC, a subsidiary of ICANN – the organization which certifies domain name registrars. Domain names are filtered through Domain Name Servers (DNS) which link IP addresses with domain names. Duplicates for each website are created for greater reliability so each website has a primary and secondary DNS.
The first step comprises of actually choosing an appropriate domain name, ideally a name that reflects the nature and purpose of your website. So, if for example you are selling skin care products, a domain name like dermstore.com or skincareessentials.com would suit you best.
When assigning a domain name for your website, only hyphens, letters or numbers are allowed. Moreover, a domain can have 70 characters or less, and it is advisable to keep it as short as possible. The domain names can be in both upper and lower case, and it does not make a difference and both are identical to the DNS.
The most common extension available is .com and is universally known as internet related. Other common extensions include .biz (for commercial sites), .org (for non-commercial organizations), .net (for organizations involved in Internet infrastructure) and .name (for personal names). For more specific appellation .museum, .aero, and .coop are also used by certain organizations. For country specific names, .us (America) and .de (Germany) etc. can also be used.
All domains must be registered with a registrar that has been certified by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). The full list of registrars is available at the InterNIC website (http://www.internic.net/regist.html). The domain name registration services are offered by many web hosts even if they are not registrars themselves.
A domain name registration can be taken for a minimum one year or on a even 10 year registration contract. If you are planning to a long term presence on the internet through your website, it is advisable to take a long registration contract as that will cost much less. You may be also entitled to a decent discount if you are planning to make bulk purchases. You can also transfer all your domain names to the same registrar in order to save money.
After you have decided on the domain name, registering your domain name and selecting the right web host, the second step involves getting all details and information required to set up your website from your web host company. These details could include passwords to get into your account, paths to directories where your files should be uploaded, and most importantly, what your domain name servers are.
Domain name servers (DNS) provide the link between your domain name (mywebsite.com) and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. DNS is necessary for websites operating on shared servers. Domain names are the only way to request these websites – they cannot be requested by IP address.
Configuring DNS
Your domain name is first registered on the DNS of the registrar. You need to arrange for a web host or else your domain name will be redirected to an error page or an 'Under Construction' page by the registrar company. Hence you must open an account with a web host and then transfer your website to their server. Part of the process of preparing your site for publication on the World Wide Web is to alert your domain name registrar of the DNS of your new server.
A DNS configuration looks something like this:
Primary Name Server: NSA.AVAHOST.NET (126.96.36.199)
Secondary Name Server: NSB.AVAHOST.NET(220.127.116.11)
It is important to retain this information and will be made available to you by your hosting company. The DNS information can be entered into your account on the website of your registrar.
Domain names are registered in a distributed data base that is maintained on thousands of computers around the world, so when the DNS is modified or registered it can take up to 24 hours for your website to become accessible around the world.
After setting up the DNS and opening a web host account, you need to upload your web pages. This is usually don't by using the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software. FTP is an Internet Protocol (like HTTP) that allows data files to be transferred from one computer to another. Further information on this can be received by your web host. FTP software such as WS_FTP or FileZilla is usually used to connect to the FTP server on your website. The address of the FTP server is usually ftp.mywebsite.com (where mywebsite.com is the domain name).
Your account will essentially consist of two main folders in the root directory – public_html and www. Your web pages should be uploaded to the public_html folder. The www folder is for people to access your website.
In order to upload files correctly, it is important to reset your FTP software. For example, if you are using a firewall on your computer you should set the transfer method to passive. If you are using a proxy you will have to adjust the proxy settings.
Files can be sent or received in either binary or ASCII mode. The mode of transfer may be determined by your FTP software by ascertaining the content of the file. However, if this option is unavailable, you need to manually select the correct transfer mode. Files that should be sent in ASCII mode include HTML (and variants like HTM, SHTML, DHTML, etc.) TXT, CGI, C, ASP, JS etc. Any file that can be viewed by the text editor, editor should be transferred in ASCII mode. Binary mode is used to transfer everything else – graphics, compiled programs, and media files.
Using the FTP software, you need to connect to the web server. Select the folder where you will be uploading the files, and then find the local files that need to be uploaded.
The home page can be accessed by typing http://mywebsite.com or http://mywebsite.com/index.htm. There is one essential file in each directory – index.html or a variant (index.htm, index.shtml etc. Without an index file in each directory, anybody who browses to that directory can see all the files there. This could prove to be a security risk as private information is made available to the public.
Besides using FTP method to transfer files, web authoring packages have built in transfer methods to automatically upload your entire site or individual pages like Microsoft FrontPage. However, you need to have FrontPage extensions installed on your website in order to make use of this method and can be provided by our web host company.
You also have the option of building your website online. Browser controlled software; usually provided by your web host will help you to lay out web pages. The pages are then saved to the appropriate location on your server. Your hosting account will give you access to the web builder through the control panel in your account.
