Salesforce.com pioneered cloud computing with their CRM application suite. If yours is a Windows-based organization, which also uses Salesforce.com, then your chances of encountering user identity management issues in such a hybrid IT environment are pretty high.
ADSelfService Plus - the web-based, end-user password management tool for Windows Active Directory - extends its self-service password management capabilities to Salesforce.com. Now users can reset their lost Salesforce passwords on their own without help desk assistance, and also synchronize their passwords between Windows Active Directory and Salesforce. It helps you reduce the cost related to password management and increases the productivity of your users.
With ADSelfService Plus, users can reset their forgotten Salesforce passwords 'without IT help desk assistance' by answering a set of pre-defined security questions or by entering a secret PIN code they received via SMS or Email.
Users are required to enroll only once and use the same enrollment information for both Windows Active Directory and Salesforce password reset. This allows you to reuse your in-house Security Questions and Answers profile with ADSelfService Plus for verifying the users' identities during password self-service.
When users reset their lost Windows passwords with ADSelfService Plus, the new password is automatically synchronized with their Salesforce accounts. Users can log in to their Salesforce accounts with their Windows passwords.
This way, users can have a single identity across Windows Active Directory and Salesforce.com. As a result, users are freed from having to remember a multitude of passwords for their different accounts. This makes your job of dealing with identity management a lot easier.
Often non-Windows systems and cloud-based applications have been found wanting because of their lax password policy. Wouldn't it be better if you can extend the strong password policy governing Windows Active Directory to Salesforce.com?
In ADSelfService Plus, when a Salesforce.com password is reset, it is checked against AD password policy requirements. Alternatively, you can centrally define your own password policy rules in ADSelfService Plus, and apply it to various supported systems and applications to maximize security.
Some other benefits of ADSelfService Plus - Self Service Reset Password Management
Free Active Directory users from attending lengthy help desk calls by letting them self-service the password reset task. Password reset just a click away with ADSelfService Plus!
Hassle-free password change for Active Directory users with ADSelfService Plus. Without help desk assistance users can change their passwords from 'Change Password' console.
Portal that lets Active Directory users update their latest information without the help desk assistance. Self-update feature also ensures that Active Directory database is up-to-date with the user profile changes.
Intimate Active Directory users of their impending password/account expiry by mailing them these password/account expiry notifications.
Synchronize Windows Active Directory user password/account changes across mutliple systems automatically.
A quick search facility that enables Active Directory users to scout for information about peers by using search keys like phone no., e-mail id, first/ last name of the personality being searched.

Tom Trumble's grandfather led a group of Australian airmen in a daring escape from West Timor during World War Two.
Broadcast date: Thursday 6 June 2013
Tom's grandfather Bryan Rofe, a meteorological officer, was revered by his family as a brilliant and valorous figure for his many achievements both during and after the war in the Pacific.
When Tom decided to research and write about what happened to Bryan in Timor, he uncovered an extraordinary story which was largely unknown.
A group of airmen, led by Bryan, were forced into hiding after the Japanese invaded. For almost two months they endured extreme hardship, illness and the loss of many men.
Tom describes their eventual rescue by the US Navy as one of the war's most daring.
Rescue at 2100 Hours is published by Viking.

Nobody wants to be at work today. Hopefully reading this will make you forget about that for five minutes. Remember, NFL camps are opening, UC camp opens in two weeks and the Bearcats invade Fresno State in 41 days.
Look at it this way, it could be worse. At least you didn't literally get crapped on at your job today. Well, at least I hope not.
--- Concerning news on the Bob Huggins front. Huggins fell in his Las Vegas hotel room late last week and broke four ribs. He was expecting to be released from the hospital on Saturday, but is still be being held there for observation, according to a WVU spokesperson.
Not a lot of details on exactly what happened or if there are complications, but sure hope this incident turns out to be a minor bump in the road on all fronts.
--- Not surprisingly, Zach Collaros was added to the Manning Award Watch List. He was the 12th player unveiled. As I broke down in an earlier post, if you extrapolate his numbers out over an entire season he could be considering the top quarterback returning in the country, by the numbers, at least.
--- Continued low expectations from the national folks. This time from the Sporting News who place UC at No. 41 on their list. They claim 8-4, 4-3 as a final record. This falls in as about the general consensus average from all the predictions I have seen.
Of course, these expectations would change with a win against Oklahoma at PBS (I smell a segue....)
--- Tickets for the Oklahoma game went on sale this morning. As I have said before, this is a great deal for one of the biggest non-conference regular season games this program has seen. Tickets are reasonable and Phil Steele ranked Oklahoma No. 1 in his preseason poll.
--- I've heard many UC fans rave about how much they enjoy Kings Island Day with the football team. It is a great opportunity to interact up close and personal with the players and even coach Butch Jones. This year's event will be Aug. 22 from 12:45 p.m.-3 p.m. at the park under the Eiffel Tower.
Players and coaches will be signing autographs and such. If they are like me, you will probably find a few of them sneaking off to Hannah-Barbara Land for some Smurf Ice Cream. Why does it taste so much better just because it's blue? One of life's great mysteries.
--- The NY Times reopened the conversation on a topic that may have slipped the mind of a lot of UC/Big East fans when the expansion uproar came to a temporary halt a month or so ago.
Yes, the Big Ten could very well still pluck some teams from the Big East and desires a NY/DC presence.
The Big East appears to have avoided the complete catastrophe when the Big Ten took Nebraska and the fact the 16-team superconference model was staved off for now should be enough to keep the conference safe from being plucked into extinction.
--- Can't help but comment on this story about Adam Dunn going up to see Bob Uecker during the Nats game against the Brewers this weekend without permission from manager Jim Riggleman. Dunn's attitude in this story is exactly why you loved him as a Reds player but wanted to see him go at the same time.
It's sort of the same way I feel today about Johnny Bench as he drives deeper and deeper into Crazyville.

In nearly every Forum show on Priced Out, KQED's series on affordable housing in the Bay Area, many listeners and commenters opine, to paraphrase, "Build Baby Build." That is to say, San Francisco simply needs to accept its popularity and booming economy and build more housing.
So Forum decided to take up the question, "Can the Bay Area build its way out of a lack of affordable housing?" The answer, to paraphrase again, is "It's complicated."
While Forum guests agreed that building needs to be part of the solution, they also agreed that creating housing is a complex problem, requiring a multi-pronged, nuanced approach.
If you're a person who enjoys listening, the full Forum show is online here. But if you're short on time and just want the highlights, this post's for you:
1.Work backwards
There are so many places for a new housing development to start — a plot of land, a vacant building, heck, just the need for housing itself is a starting point. But according to Peter Cohen, co-director of the Council of Community Housing Organization, the best way to ensure affordable housing is to first consider who will live in a given building, and then take the steps necessary to achieve housing for that population. If Bay Area officials are serious about providing housing for the middle class, they need to start with that in mind.
"Affordable housing is typically built for a very specific income-level of household and also for a particular population. Maybe it's built for seniors, maybe it's for families, and maybe it's for transitional-age youth. So the calculation at the front – of how much those rents or those ownership prices will be — is already known, and then that works backwards into operating costs and construction costs, and the subsidy is calculated from there. But it's very intentional about who we are building for."
2. Prioritize regional solutions
Too often San Francisco gets all the attention. But unfortunately a lack of middle-class-friendly housing is not unique to San Francisco, and the solution won't be found within its 49 square miles.
"The rest of the region has not done its share," said Gabriel Metcalf, executive director of SPUR, a San Francisco-based urban planning organization. "It has not either permitted enough affordable housing or simply has not created walkable places. So the pressure on San Francisco is all the greater. We need help from the rest of the region to solve this."
Cohen points out that some regional planning does take place, specifically at the hands of the Association of Bay Area Governments.
"The state on a regular basis, every 5 to 7 years, comes up with some calculations of projected housing needs based on the growing workforce in every part of the state of California," said Cohen. "The Bay Area gets what is called a 'Regional Housing Needs Allocation.' Those, in turn, are distributed to each county and city as their share of the housing production that they need to produce over the next 5 to 7 years. And that's broken down by affordability level. San Francisco has its share, Burlingame has its share, Concord has its share. The crisis we're in on a regional level is not a whole lot different from San Francisco, except the factors are different. We are dramatically underproducing low-income housing and middle-income housing across the region, and from a numbers standpoint, overproducing market-rate housing. So there is a structural problem with the market relative to need."
But often, despite a region's good intentions, local officials have a hard time getting their communities on board with such plans. And that brings us to our next point.
3. Drop the NIMBY-ism
"[NIMBY-ism] is probably the biggest problem we face," said Karen Chapple, associate director of the Institute for Urban and Regional Development at UC Berkeley. "We don't have an easy solution. I think it's changing over time as people see that their own kids can't live in their cities. Eventually they come to their senses, but they're still going to fight the apartment building on their block."
4. Consider public transportation when planning and pricing
In an October discussion on the state of the Bay Area real estate market, Carolyn Said, who covers economics and real estate for the San Francisco Chronicle, made the point that Solano County is a great place to live if you can work an off-schedule or work from home. In other words, if you don't have to commute. Some of the least affordable (or should we say "less expensive") areas in the Bay Area remain that way because a lack of transit infrastructure makes them less appealing.
According to Chapple, public transit needs to be part of the affordable housing discussion.
"Our cost of housing is not just how much we pay for rent and utilities, or mortgage and utilities," said Chapple. "It's also location, and how much that is costing us. How efficient is the location?
"We need to think of transportation costs as part of this overall affordability question, which is where the regional issue becomes so salient… We think we're adding affordability out in Antioch, but in reality, we're actually adding more transportation costs.
"We need to be very strategic in thinking about where we're going to put this housing," Chapple continued. "So let's look at our corridors, because that's where there isn't that much community objection. Let's look at El Camino Real, let's look at San Pablo Avenue, let's look at Telegraph Avenue, and let's incentivize building on these corridors."
But Peter Cohen warns that vulnerable populations often live along those transportation corridors and he cites concerns with Plan Bay Area, a regional transportation and housing plan aimed at accommodating growth while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"Plan Bay Area is essentially a growth vision for all the population of the region over the next 20 years or so, and 75 percent of it goes into those El Camino Real corridors or those urbanized neighborhoods," said Cohen. "Which, from a land use standpoint and an urbanism standpoint, is good. … [But] if you overlay that with where there are communities that are actually vulnerable for displacement – gentrification displacement – it's a very close match. That's the problem – the places where it's good to build a lot of new housing for the regional growth is also where you have the greatest degree of gentrification."
5. Show affordable housing the money
Cohen also goes on to criticize Plan Bay Area for its lack of monetary teeth:
"There's no funding source for the affordable housing that's necessary to make that kind of vision work," he said. "It's just basically a numerical game plan and then the market builds. But the market only builds for a segment of that need and without the money, what you have is a recipe for displacement."
Just how much does it cost to build affordable or subsidized housing? A lot.
"It probably costs, depending on who you're building for, a few hundred thousand dollars in subsidies per unit," said Gabriel Metcalf. "And maybe a third of that [comes from local sources]. So call it a $100,000 in subsidy, locally, per unit. You can kind of multiply that by how many people you want to help, and you can help thousands of people, but there will still be hundreds of thousands of people who are not going to get one of those units."
6. Think beyond the single-family unit
"We did a study on the East Bay of the potential for building in-law units, and compared it to the potential for building multi-family buildings, and we found that about half of our in-field developments should be coming from in-law units," said Karen Chapple. "In many of our larger lots it's very hard to assemble, it's very expensive. It can cost one quarter the amount to build an in-law unit in the back of a single-family home. That said, it does need to be price controlled."
San Francisco city officials are starting to recognize the role that secondary units can play in easing the housing crunch. San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener has proposed allowing in-law units to be built in his district and Board of Supervisor President David Chiu introduced legislation that would legalize existing secondary units that were built illegally.
What do you think Bay Area officials should do to increase the amount of affordable housing in the region? We welcome your suggestions in the comments below.

Hey everyone,
as you might have guessed from the headline I am searching for a working (big enough to put it in my head) version of an Imperial Royal Guard helmet. More precise for a pdo of it.
My ultimate goal is to use the paper cut as a matrix for fibreglass model.
If one of you had a pdo or a pdf derived from one (of either armor or helmed) i'd be delighted if you could share it with me.
Even though a pdo would be great I would even prefer a pdf for I am using and mac would need to fiddle around quite a bit in order to print the pdo.
(No I am not looking for one to wear it for the Star Wars VII - One week for helmed armor and gown is a little overambitious)
Thank you very much

CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, when asked about the Supreme Court's upcoming ruling in the DC handgun ban case on Monday's "American Morning," repeated the gun control lobby's argument that "most federal courts and the Supreme Court has found is that really doesn't mean that you can possess a gun. It means that the military can possess a gun, that it's a collective right." She later made the usual liberal claim that the current Supreme Court is "conservative."
"American Morning" co-host John Roberts asked Hostin about the Supreme Court case 48 minutes into the 6 am hour of the CNN program, since the Court's decision on the handgun ban is expected to come down by the end of June. For the bulk of segment, the legal analyst detailed the origin of the case and gave a summary of what took place during the oral arguments in March.
It isn't clear where Hostin got her statistic, that "most federal courts and the Supreme Court has found... that it's a collective right." According to the NRA-ILA's website, there are actually only three U.S. Court of Appeals decisions that use the term "collective right," and all of three were decided in the 1970s. The only time that the Supreme Court has directly taken up the issue of the Second Amendment was in the 1939 case, United States v Miller, which dealt with the regulation of sawed-off shotguns. It didn't resolve the question whether the Second Amendment dealt with an individual right or a so-called collective right for a militia.
Also, there are quotes from several of the key Founding Fathers that run contrary to Hostin's claim that "the Founding Fathers... wanted to make sure that the new federal government did not ban state militias from organizing."
As to whether the Supreme Court is actually "conservative," one only need to point to the recent move by the Court to grant detainees at Guantanamo Bay a day in court to challenge their detention, not to mention plenty of other cases over the past decade. The Court, like the country, is actually divided, with one justice, Anthony Kennedy, playing the role of the "swing vote."
Speaking of the ruling in favor of the Guantanamo Bay detainees, that ruling was described by many in the media as a "setback" for the Bush administration, or as CNN justice correspondent Kelli Arena put it on June 12, the day of the ruling, a "major defeat" for the administration. One wonders how the media will spin any pro-Second Amendment decision by the Court.
The full transcript of the Roberts/Hostin segment from Monday's "American Morning:"
JOHN ROBERTS: Forty-eight-and-a-half minutes after the hour. Never in the U.S. history has the Supreme Court ever said what the Second Amendment means when it talks about the right to bear arms. But today, the justices may answer that very question. It's a challenge to a law that bans the possession of handguns in Washington, D.C.
Joining us now with more on the case is 'American Morning's' legal analyst Sunny Hostin. So what's at stake here in this ruling?
SUNNY HOSTIN: What is at stake is every single American citizen's right to own and possess a gun, and that really is the crux of it. And you're right -- the Supreme Court really has never said that, that an individual has the right, and let's take a look at actually what the Second Amendment says in particular. The Second Amendment says, 'a well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.' What most federal courts and the Supreme Court has found is that really doesn't mean that you can possess a gun. It means that the military can possess a gun, that it's a collective right, and that is really going to be the balance.
I think what's fascinating about this case is that the way it came up, is one woman, a computer software designer -- she received death threats from a local drug dealer in D.C. He actually broke into her home and threatened to kill her because she had sort of organized the homeowners to report drug activity in her neighborhood. The police officers determined that, you know, she was really at risk here and they advised her to get a gun. But in D.C. you can't have a handgun and that is really how this case came up. So, it really is -- its very essence John -- the right of an individual to possess a gun.
ROBERTS: So the oral arguments were heard back in March. At that time, did the justices give any kind of indication on how they might rule?
HOSTIN: See John, you're always asking me to predict verdicts or to predict how the Supreme Court is going to rule. But I think that any...
ROBERTS: Isn't that what everybody wants to know?
HOSTIN: You're right, and I don't want to guess at what the Supremes are going to do. But I think in this case, when you listen to the oral argument, it's pretty clear that they're probably going to invalidate the ban. In particular, Chief Justice Roberts -- and it's a conservative court right now -- said if it is limited to state militias, why would they say -- Founding Fathers, 'the right of the people,' and even Justice Kennedy, who is usually the swing vote, said, in effect, the Amendment says we reaffirm the right to have a militia. But in addition, doesn't it say there is a right to bear arms? So when you look at that, I think what we're going to hear today -- and I hate to guess -- but I think what we're going to hear is that the D.C. ban is no more.
ROBERTS: Let me just get back to something that you said initially when you showed us the Second Amendment. You said -- read militia and then you said gives the military the right to have weapons or would it give citizens militia?
HOSTIN: Well, the Founding Fathers, when this happened, they wanted to make sure that the new federal government did not ban state militias from organizing, and so I think really what it meant then was sort of that a military or a state police type could own a gun, not just the individual that was threatened by a drug dealer. But this Supreme Court is saying, I don't know, I think it's a little bit broader than that.
ROBERTS: An important ruling today. We'll be watching it. Sunny, thanks very much for that.
HOSTIN: Thanks.

Ford Motor Co promoted long-time executive Mark Fields to chief operating officer as part of a management shuffle announced on Thursday that keeps Alan Mulally as chief executive for at least two more years.
The plan, which stopped short of formally naming Mr. Fields as Mr. Mulally's successor, puts Mr. Fields, age 51, in charge of the weekly business review meetings that have been one the most visible signs of cultural change at Ford since Mr. Mulally was hired in 2006.
Mr. Mulally, 67, will stay on as CEO "at least through 2014," about one year longer than analysts expected and leaving the door open for him to stay longer if needed.
Mr. Fields, a 23-year Ford veteran, is widely seen as the front runner to replace Mr. Mulally, and Executive Chairman Bill Ford said he hoped the next CEO would come from within Ford's ranks.
Still he did not rule out the possibility of hiring an outsider as he did when he hired Mr. Mulally, then an executive at Boeing Co, to steer Ford's turnaround six years ago.
"This isn't really a transition that we're announcing," Bill Ford told analysts and reporters on a conference call.
"We really do have a great team that Alan has developed and mentored, and he'll continue to do that," Mr. Ford added. "But don't read anything beyond that into this."
Mr. Ford also promoted several other executives, including Joe Hinrichs, who will take on Fields' role as head of the Americas. Mr. Hinrichs, who has been mentioned as a possible CEO candidate, now leads Ford's operations in Asia and Africa.
The management changes, approved by Ford's board on Oct. 19, are all effective on Dec. 1.
Naming Mr. Mulally's successor is crucial for Ford because he is closely identified with the auto maker's rebound and its success in avoiding the federal bailouts that rescued its U.S. rivals in 2009, General Motors Co and Chrysler Group LLC.
Mr. Fields has led Ford's operations in North and South America since October 2005. Bill Ford said that Mr. Fields has grown in his role over the last seven years, pointing to this week's third-quarter earnings report as proof. Ford had record 12 per cent margins in North America in the third quarter.
"I put Mark into that job seven years ago," he said. "The growth that we've all seen in him over that period is remarkable. Alan has done a tremendous job of mentoring Mark."
Mr. Mulally said he will focus on the "long-term strategic development" of his One Ford strategy, which centres on connecting Ford's once-disconnected business units to achieve economies of scale, cut costs and boost profits.
"A really key message today is the fact that Mark is going to take over the responsibility of leading the business plan review for the entire corporation. I'm going to step back from that and focus on supporting Mark," Mr. Mulally said.
"And I'll be there; I'm not going anywhere. I'll be there with him and supporting him," Mr. Mulally added on the call.
Mr. Hinrichs' current position will be split in half with Ford of Europe chief Stephen Odell taking on Africa and David Schoch, now head of Ford of China, leading Asia Pacific operations.
Odell will also add the Middle East to his responsibilities, which include overseeing Ford's restructuring in Europe, where the automaker is expected to lose at least $3-billion over the next two years due to the economic downturn in the region.
Jim Farley, the global head of marketing, will now be in charge of the Lincoln brand. John Lawler, current chief financial officer of Asia Pacific and African operations, will become CEO of Ford China.Report Typo/Error

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:40pm
The only seeded team to fall was North Carolina, which hosted Maryland. Quint Kessenich breaks down the winners from Sunday — which featured much closer matchups than Saturday. Quint's analysis from Saturday is also below.
Maryland was the lone road warrior of the weekend, traveling to Tobacco Road and beating the Heels to advance to the quarterfinals. The Terps received strong performances from Ryan Young, Drew Snider and Curtis Holmes.
Maryland was physically (Joe Cummings and Grant Catalino) ready to play and emotionally charged up. For most of the season, their defense has been stout… And it was again on Sunday. Face-off man Curtis Holmes and Niko Amato won their matchups. If you haven't seen the hidden ball trick with Brian Farrell, Grant Catalino and Drew Snider, you've been living in a cave.
North Carolina was minimally invasive. Maryland's defensive gameplan limited the Tar Heels penetration from everybody except Billy Bitter. The senior attackman scored two eye-catching goals where he danced his way through multiple Maryland defenders, paying the price each time. Did Nicky Galasso even play? Marcus Holman? Thomas Wood? Donuts for all three. Curtis Holmes dominated at the face-off dot. Maryland had a huge advantage in possessions and eventually UNC defenders wore down. The Terps set up a handful of goals with picks, a few were borderline no calls, but regardless, the strategy will have to be dealt with by SU.
The Terps were not able to get their transition game going and seemed content to score in settled situations. It worked well in Chapel Hill, but this Sunday against Cuse, Maryland will need to manufacture goals in many different ways to get to 10.
The Heels' win over Notre Dame and Colgate's win over Maryland allowed UNC to host a first-round game. Injuries derailed this team's long-term goals from Day One. So 10 wins and valuable experience going forward makes UNC a top eight team preseason in 2012, behind programs like Cornell, Duke and Hopkins, which are all stacked next spring. Seniors Ryan Flanagan and Billy Bitter will continue to play in MLL. Freshman like Patrick Foster, RG Keenan, Jordan Smith, Ryan Creighton, Mark McNeil, TJ Kemp and Duncan Hutchins must take positive steps during the offseason. Heels benefit in 2012 with the return of Milton Lyles, Cam Wood and Greg McBride.
The Cavs trailed Bucknell 10-6, 11-8 and 12-10. They scored four of the games last five goals to earn overtime. Matt White stuffed home the game-winner to give Virginia another week.
We learned that Virginia could score goals at a rapid pace without Shamel Bratton. At crunchtime, Steele Stanwick once again proved to be the man. Stanwick played a part in 6 of the last 7 Cavalier goals. Chris Bocklet made some impossible shots a reality and Virginia came up with just enough stops in the fourth quarter to get past Bucknell.
Shooting and production from the attack (10 of 13 goals).
Defense and midfield production.
The Bison starting six on offense as good as any Ive seen all year, but they ran them into the ground. Charlie Streep had three goals and then cramped up. Bucknell didn't manage the clock and turned the ball over in the last 10 minutes. A 14-3 season and a Patriot League banner is worth crowing about, but losing Sunday's game won't soon be forgotten. It was an opportunity that was ripe for taking.
Pioneers won their first playoff game in program history, coming back from an 8-5 deficit to win 13-10. Denver has a slick and dangerous offense, a talented young goalie and a defense that's vulnerable.
I've been saying all year that Mark Matthews should be a Tewaraaton Finalist. Does anyone believe me now? He reminds me of Zack Greer and a left-handed Kevin Crowley rolled into one. Villanova wasn't as physical as they should have been with him and Jeremy Noble. Simply put, when Denver wins face-offs, they will score goals.
When Denver wins draws they utilize Cam Flint and Jeremy Noble as wing men, so their quick strike offense is without peer. Their half-field schemes are different and well choreographed by coordinator Matt Brown. The rules of engagement are different when covering Canadians.
The defense. On a per-possession basis, Denver's defense gives up tons of shots.
The Wildcats will continue to climb the charts toward national supremacy. Coach Michael Corrado has a shrewd eye for talent. Kevin Cunningham and Jack Rice return in 2012. I can see Nova challenging for a Big East title next year as SU and ND graduate massive senior classes this spring.
The Orange advance by beating Siena 10-4 on Sunday night. Syracuse defense limited Siena to 11 shots on goal.
Scoring goals can sometimes be difficult for the Orange. I think at this juncture it's fair, based on performance, to say that scoring goals doesn't always come easy for this team. Give Siena credit. SU had to work hard for quality shots. SU shot 10-51 from the field.
Defense and groundball play. Cuse was +20 in groundball margin and held Siena scoreless for 34:13 in the middle of the game.
The Orange won 9-17 face-offs. This will be a huge key against a patient Maryland team who relies on Curtis Holmes to give them a possession advantage. Cuse has to get the ball inside or down low to Stephen Keogh if they want to get to 10 against the Terps defense.
Brian Brecht and the Saints gave SU everything they could handle on the defensive end for 45 minutes. It's amazing how much this program has improved during the past 10 years. Goalie Tom Moor made 19 saves in the Dome, that's legit. Siena is the solid MAAC favorite in 2012.
Winner winner, chicken dinner. Saturday featured three blowouts and a thriller in Durham. We said hello to Mike Rock, goodbye Pride.
In chronological order:
The Jays outscored Hofstra 8-1 in the second half to send the Pride back on the bus to Long Island.
What we learned?
Face-off man Matt Dolente delivered. The senior won 13-20 draws and the JHU offense wore down Hofstra. New helmets are not my favorite… Hopkins is now 43-4 all-time in the NCAA's at home and will appear in their 29th quarterfinals.
What went well?
Jays once again won the four key stats — Pierce Bassett had a higher save percentage than Andrew Gvozden, Dolente topped John Antoniades, the Jays outworked Hofstra on groundballs and shot 12 of 29 (41%) compared the Hofstra's 5 of 25 (20%). John Greeley had two unassisted goals including one on a rollback. The rollback is an excellent move when the defense isn't in slide mode. Had Hofstra been sliding to Greeley, he would have been mangled. JHU defense held Jay Card, Jamie Lincoln, Stephen Bentz and Ian Braddish to 1 for 12 shooting.
What needs work?
A similar slow start against a better opponent could be catastrophic.
Parting shot for Hofstra
Early season injuries to midfield dodgers Steve Serling and Drew Coholan derailed Hofstra's postseason aspirations. Without ballcarriers who could draw a slide, Jamie Lincoln and Jay Card were erased. The Pride must replace starters Lincoln, Card, Steve Denapoli and Mike Skudin. Hofstra is now 0-5 against Hopkins in the postseason.
Irish (11-2) jumped on Penn 4-0 and then held them scoreless for 27:12 on their way to a 13-6 route. ND outscored Penn 5-1 after halftime.
What we learned?
Players not named Zach Brenneman and David Earl can be productive when Notre Dame clicks into their transition game. Penn scored four unassisted goals but ND defensive coordinator Gerry Byrne mad some astute halftime adjustments, the Irish slid quicker in the second half and Penn's offense sputtered. ND is now 9-15 all-time in the NCAA tournament.
What went well?
Pat Cotter, Steve Murphy and Colin Igoe canned their shots. The Irish shot the ball poorly in their loss to Syracuse so this was a positive step. Senior Jake Marmul went 16-20 in faceoff attempts. As a team, Notre Dame won 17 of the 23 draws. Marmul is a great story of perseverance, a young man who fought through a knee injury which could have ended his career.
What needs work?
I've seen ND play a lot this year. The themes remain the same: shot selection and shooting percentage, clearing, and short stick defense when guarding the big/little picks behind the goal are my chief concerns.
Parting shot for Penn
Quakers (8-7) took a huge step forward this season. The administration will have to extend Mike Murphy's contract or give him a raise to keep him in Philadelphia. If I were Towson and Navy, he'd be on my interview list. Penn returns a lot of youngsters with potential next spring and should be in the Top 15 again next year. Penn hasn't won a playoff game since 1988.
Blue Devils won a barn burner with Delaware. The game featured 70 shots, fastbreaks, creative playmaking, and was viewer friendly. Duke is now 15-4 in their last 19 postseason games.
What we learned?
Duke's offense looked sharp in settled and transitional situations. Their attack has developed terrific chemistry and the strengths of Zach Howell, Jordan Wolf and Christian Walsh mesh perfectly. Goalie Mike Rock filled in for Dan Wigrizer (concussion) and played well enough to earn the win. He will have to do better if Duke expects to visit the Inner Harbor.
What went well?
Shooting. Duke shot 15 of 30 (50%).
What needs work?
Defense. Delaware riddled the Blue Devil defense for 40 shots. Delaware's Grant Kaleikau had six points. Defenders Luke Duprey takes too many penalties. CJ Costabile gets run by alot and Chris Hipps is raw. And it appeared as if Duke ran out of gas after the lightning delay. They were saved by the bell.
Parting shot for Delaware
Blue Hens run in the CAA tournament was memorable. Nobody goes to Long Island on a Wednesday night and beats Hofstra then buses to UMass and gets another road win on Saturday night. Seniors (Pat Dowling, Matt Stefurak, Kevin Kaminski, Nick Elsmo, Justin Martinelli and Noah Fossner) have a lot to be proud of. Carter Bloor, John Austin and Tim Langmaid should be back in uniform in 2012 and the Hens should be in the CAA battle once again.
Big Red won their 11th straight game, steam rolling Hartford, after a slow start. Cornell is 95-8 over the past ten years when they score more than 10 goals.
What we learned?
The complimentary offensive parts looked sharp — Roy Lang is one of the most physical midfield dodgers in the game, David Lau's burst of quickness can't be ignored, and Steve Mock has terrific savvy and instincts. I thought Rob Pannell took some bad shots. The defense is well schooled, undersized, but nasty when necessary.
What went well?
Face-offs and goaltending. If Cornell was going to be upset it would have been due to Hartford's Tim Fallon winning extra possessions at the dot. Big Red got a good game out of Doug Tesoriero. Goalie AJ Fiore, who can be hot and cold, looked comfortable and steady.
What needs work?
The game plan in Ithaca is crystal clear. The question comes down the road when Pannell is likely to see some junk defenses. Low stats in face-offs and goaltending gives opponents a glimmer of hope.
Parting shot for Hartford
Hawks 11 wins this season were more than previous four seasons combined (8). Coach Peter Lawrence and the team deserve credit for taking down Stony Brook in the America East final.

The Nokia 6600 Slide is a lovely looking device that's well made and very pocket-friendly. On top of this it offers a well rounded set of features, including a half decent camera and Nokia Maps. However, there are a few areas like the relatively poor battery life, that let it down. Combine this with a premium price tag (at least on pay as you go) and you have a phone that's worth considering but not an outright recommendation.

The Continent Breaks Into A Run
Heinz Greiffenberger can hardly believe it's true. Sales at his north Bavaria machine and gear company, about $100 million a year, had been seesawing as Europe struggled to break out of the recession that hit in 1992. But he forecasts that after falling 7% in 1996, sales will soar this year by up to 15%. Other German Mittelstand companies also expect to perform better in 1997. "There's a new, more optimistic attitude," says Greiffenberger.
Indeed, Continental Europe's so-called recovery, which has frequently felt more like a downturn, finally seems to be kicking in. Across Europe, economists are revising anemic growth projections upward. Average growth in the European Union, which barely reached 1.6% last year, could hit 2.8% next year, figures BMW economist Oliver la Bonte. For the first time since the late 1980s, European growth should surpass that of the U.S. "I see a trend where Europe is going to be more and more competitive," says Richard M. Donnelly, president of General Motors Europe.
BRUTAL YEARS. But the tough question is how long that trend can endure. What has been so admirable about America's six-year expansion is not so much its vigor as its staying power. Europe has yet to prove it can match the new U.S. formula of steady growth, low inflation, low unemployment, and booming capital markets. And while 1997 and 1998 look promising, Europe's recovery still lacks several building blocks that have been crucial to America's long-running growth spurt (table).
For one thing, Europe has just begun the streamlining that took Corporate America 10 brutal years to carry out. And downsizing is only the start. Without structural change, from deregulation to tax laws to work rules, higher growth rates may not be enough to cure European joblessness and set the stage for a long-running expansion. "It's true that the pressure to adjust is growing around Europe," says Salomon Brothers Inc. international economist Kermit Schoenholtz. "But at Europe's core, structural change still isn't sufficient."
In the U.S., for instance, high technology accounts for nearly a third of gross domestic product, powering growth and creating well-paid jobs to replace those lost in manufacturing. In Europe, high tech's share of output is less than 10%. Even lower-paid service jobs are scarce. In Germany and France, manufacturing accounts for 30% of employment, vs. 15% in the U.S.--one reason Germany, with unemployment at 11.2%, is bleeding jobs at the rate of 300,000 a year. Without deregulation and incentives to create a healthy service sector, Europe's core economies are unlikely to duplicate the U.S. miracle.
Strong, steady productivity growth is another magic element in the American expansion--still largely missing in Europe. U.S. nonfinancial output per hour is rising an estimated 2.4% this year, up from almost zero in 1995. In Europe, by contrast, governments are still struggling to unload unproductive assets in state-owned companies. And France, for example, is using job-sharing and shorter workweeks to deal with unemployment--tactics that add little to economic dynamism.
Still, Europe's economies have the best chance in years to show some real verve. For one thing, a stronger dollar and the lowest interest rates in three decades are boosting exports and, in turn, capital investment. And after a spell of fiscal restraint that will squeeze 1% of GDP from EU economies this year, Europe may next year finally be able to ease off a bit even as it prepares for a single currency in 1999.
In Germany, for example, the government's mid-May decision to revalue its gold reserves means Bonn won't be tightening its finances nearly as much as expected to reach the budget-deficit criteria for monetary union. That should boost growth in Europe's key economy. Several Europe watchers now think Germany may grow as much as 3% next year.
GRUDGING. Italy, meanwhile, has imposed punishing budget cuts and introduced a one-time "Eurotax" to help meet the deficit criteria. That has had a chilling effect on consumer activity--another missing link in Europe's recovery. But when Rome offered a subsidy to boost car sales in January, orders exploded, indicating huge pent-up demand. "What weighs on the economy more than anything else is the feeling that still greater efforts at restraint will be required," says Credit Suisse First Boston Corp. economist Francesco Giordano. If governments can find ways to avoid more restraint, consumers may cheer up.
Beyond consumer sentiment, the real key to long-term economic health in Europe is acceptance of structural reforms. And there are signs that reform has grudgingly become part of the political and social landscape. In Spain, home of Europe's most arcane labor rules, the government recently adopted a business-labor pact to slice compensation for laid-off workers and made it easier for employers to shed excess labor. The reforms are expected to create 200,000 permanent jobs.
Corporate restructuring is forging ahead. After years of honing operations, French steel giant Usinor Sacilor has seen output rise 12% this year, despite weakness in two traditional linchpins of its business--public spending and auto making. Or take Greiffenberger. In addition to working out more flexible work rules with unions, his company has gone on an innovation campaign that's paying off. Some 75% of its sales of gears, for construction equipment and other applications, come from products the company wasn't making three years ago.
Such changes are powering healthy profit increases. Where strategists had been betting on a 10% rise in European corporate profits this year, they recently hiked the figure to 15%. Peter Sullivan, European equities strategist for Goldman, Sachs & Co., figures that's still low. He sees corporate profits jumping 22% this year and a further 15% next year. The impact on Europe's stock markets has been dramatic. Germany's bourse is up 23% in local currency terms this year, France's 19%, and Italy's 20%.
After the ups and downs the Continent has struggled with for five years, the brighter growth picture can only come as welcome relief. Now, the real test will be whether the key economies, France and Germany, use the opportunity to push ahead with reforms that will begin to cut unemployment--and move Europe down the road to U.S.-style economic dynamism.

Uma Thurman
Uma Karuna Thurman (born April 29, 1970), is an American actress. Uma has performed in leading roles in a variety of films, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action thrillers. Photo gallery of Uma Thurman with pictures.
It's always nice to find a hunky man who can cook, and Bradley Cooper ticks all the boxes in his forthcoming flick "Burnt."
The Weinstein Group just dropped a new preview trailer ahead of the October 23rd release date, also featuring Bradley Cooper, Lily James and Emma Thompson.
Showing off her posing prowess, Uma Thurman is featured on the front of the October 2015 issue of Town & Country magazine.
In her photo spread, the "Pulp Fiction" star drew attention to the plight of the South African rhinoceros, noting that if poaching continues at current rates, rhinos could be extinct in the next decade.
In keeping with the ever-rising popularity of cooking and recipe media, "Burnt" just dropped a new promotional trailer ahead of its October 23rd release date.
The forthcoming culinary comedy stars Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Lily James, Jamie Dornan, Emma Thompson and Alicia Vikander, all under the direction of John Wells.
Teaming up for some promotional duties, the cast of "The Theory of Everything" arrived at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City last night (October 20) for the big premiere event.
"Les Miserables" hunk Eddie Redmayne was handsome in his dark suit as he smiled for the cameras while Uma Thurman and her daughter Maya Thurman-Hawke enjoyed some quality time together.
Enjoying a rare treat in the midst of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week madness, Kiernan Shipka, Uma Thurman and Anna Chlumsky scored primo seats to Zac Posen's unique runway presentation.
Making full use of his new Upper East Side studio, Posen hired lovely ladies like Coco Rocha and Anna Cleveland to parade his wares in front of the exclusive audience, seated on the same level as the runway.
They formed a unique bond working on films like "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2" and Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino are reportedly in the beginning stages of a romantic relationship.
Following some quality time together at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival (where they supposedly shared a villa), the "Gattica" gal and the "Inglourious Basterds" director have morphed their friendship into a full-on love affair.
After an on and off relationship that has spanned seven years, Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson have called off their engagement for a second time.
The "Kill Bill" beauty first began dating the hedge fund manager back in 2007, only to call off their engagement in 2009. They got engaged once more in 2011 and have a 21 month old daughter.
Setting time aside in her busy schedule to take care of her charitable efforts, Uma Thurman attended the 2014 Room to Grow Gala in New York City on Tuesday (April 8).
Getting all dressed up for the swanky affair, the "Kill Bill" star wore a white dress, tweed jacket and gold sandals as she smiled for the shutterbugs before heading inside the Capitale-hosted evening.
Making a red carpet appearance in New York City, Uma Thurman attended the screening of "Nymphomaniac: Volume I" on Thursday (March 13).
Stunning in black, the "Kill Bill" babe wore a cute sport coat over a frilly beige top, showing off a pair of sexy leather skinnies and boots.
Striking the Big Apple with her stunning fashion statement, Uma Thurman was out and about on Wednesday (March 12).
Strutting her stuff in a gray plaid coat, the "Kill Bill" starlet sported a blue blouse and skinny jeans, smiling for the cameras as she continued onward.

Students helping to conduct survey of border crossers
Western Washington University's Border Policy Research Institute is working with the Whatcom Council of Governments to conduct a large-scale survey of travelers through the five border crossings along the Whatcom County and British Columbia border
(Point Roberts–Boundary Bay, Peace Arch–Douglas, Pacific Highway, Lynden–Aldergrove and Sumas–Abbotsford-Huntingdon).
The project is an initiative of the International Mobility and Trade Corridor Program, a regional cross-border planning coalition led by WCOG. The program involves U.S. and Canadian border security and transportation agencies, state and provincial transportation agencies, border area jurisdictions, U.S. and Canadian elected officials and private-sector entities.
"We already have good information on the numbers of vehicles crossing and how that's changed over time," said Hugh Conroy, IMTC Program Manager at WCOG, "but border planning and investments are better informed when we have current data on where people are going, the reasons for their travel, and other aspects of travel trends that we can relate to population changes, regional economic changes, and border-policy and operations alternatives."
Western students working with the BPRI will be administering the survey at each of the five border stations through late July. Students are asking randomly selected drivers to voluntarily participate in an interview, which usually takes less than two minutes.
"We're doing most of our interviews when cars are waiting in line anyway so most people are happy to answer the questions," Conroy said. "When traffic is lighter and lineups very short, we ask drivers to participate in an area past the border inspection booths. To set up this project in a safe and efficient way, the help we've gotten from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Canada Border Services Agency has been tremendous and is essential."
The border travel survey project is primarily funded by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, the Washington State Department of Transportation and the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Additional funds are coming from BPRI and WCOG.
The last comparable border travel survey was conducted in 2007-08. In addition to the core questions about trip routes and purpose, this year's questionnaire seeks feedback from drivers on how they use regional border wait time systems, including the message signs that transportation agencies have installed on border approach roads. Both Washington State and B.C. have made significant investments in these systems over the last several years. While the province and state periodically make adjustments to the systems to maintain accuracy, the survey is a way to check in with travelers and see who is using the systems and if the information is being communicated effectively.
Initial findings from this summer's effort will be available in the fall. A second wave of surveying will be conducted in February to control for seasonal differences, and the final report and database will be completed by spring 2014.

|Alcohol: Why People Drink
One important thing to remember about alcohol is that it is a drug, and people get addicted to it. It's known as alcoholism and people who suffer from it are called alcoholics. The truth is, alcoholism is a disease, and it can be very, very hard for alcoholics to stop drinking.
So why do people start drinking to begin with? Good question! Here are some reasons -- actually, they're more like excuses -- why a person might get into the habit of drinking too much alcohol.
Excuse: "Drinking helps me deal with my problems."
Excuse: "Drinking helps me have a good time."
Excuse: "Drinking makes me high and happy."
Excuse: "Drinking is cool."
Excuse: "Drinking keeps me warm when it's cold out."
Excuse: "I can't have a drinking problem, because I only drink beer and wine, not hard liquor."
Excuse: "I only drink because all my friends drink too."

I'm not real fashionable or anything (actually I'm one parasol and a few extra strokes of eyeliner away from being a mall goth) so I'm not going to speak to the cultural significance or artisan construction or whatever of this Givenchy dress, I am just going to tell you that I love it. I love it so much that I want to purchase it (AKA be given it PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME THIS or I will rip it from Sky Ferreira's cold dead body) and wear it everywhere. DMV appointment? No problem, let me throw on my sheer Givenchy situation and let's renew this motherfucking registration! Is it time for the dentist? GREAT just make sure you give me the extra large blue bib because I don't want any fluoride spittle on this bad boy. I will wear it to the post office, to the drug store, and to the bank (JK no one goes to the bank anymore what is it the 1890s?). I will glide up and down the aisles of Trader Joe's like some sort of Victorian sex goddess, finally having the courage to use the following line on the cute guy I always see there: "You like falafel chips? I like falafel chips!" (Yes, I'm going to die alone but at least I can be buried in THIS DRESS).

The Cello Concerto No.1 in C Major, Hob. VIIb/1, by Joseph Haydn was composed around 1761–1765 for longtime friend Joseph Weigl, then the principal cellist of Prince Nicolaus's Esterhazy Orchestra. The work was presumed lost until 1961, when musicologist Oldrich Pulkert discovered a copy of the score at the Prague National Museum. Though some doubts have been raised about the authenticity of the work, most experts believe that Haydn did compose this concerto.
No-one has done more for the cello than Mstislav Rostropovich, or Slava as he was widely known. As well as being arguably the greatest cellist of the twentieth century, he expanded and enriched the cello repertoire by the sheer force of his artistry and his personality and composers lined up to write works for him.

Men climbed peaks and unfurled his portrait, while women flirted shamelessly in videos that quickly went viral: Russians celebrated Vladimir Putin's 60th birthday on Sunday with adulation fit for a king.
All across the country, cities attempted to outdo each other with platitudes. The town of Vladimir woke up to find the city's name changed to reflect Putin's name and patronymic – Vladimir Vladimirovich – on all its street signs. In the southern region of North Ossetia, 10 mountaineers scaled a 4,150-metre mountain and planted a large portrait of Russia's powerful leader – the first step, they said, towards having it renamed Peak Putin.
Not everyone in the kingdom was in celebratory mood. The irony of the fact that Putin has reached 60, the age at which Russian men are eligible for retirement, in the year of his contentious return to the Kremlin was not lost on those who have spent much of the past year taking to the streets in anger.
"Lead Grandad to Retirement" was the name of one protest held by around 150 of those demonstrators, who came equipped with pipes and slippers as retirement presents for the increasingly unpopular Putin.
"How much can we take? We thought it was time for him to go calmly and maybe with these presents, he would see that retirement isn't so bad," said opposition activist Roman Dobrokhotov. About 10 activists, including Dobrokhotov, were briefly detained.
Putin returned to the presidency in May following a four-year interlude as prime minister because of a constitutional ban on the serving of more than two consecutive terms. He has been at the country's helm since 2000 – more than one-fifth of his eventful life.
If he finishes this term and serves another, he will have been in charge for longer than Leonid Brezhnev and almost as long as Josef Stalin. The comparisons between Putin and the latter have only grown in recent months, not least because of Putin's own calls for a Stalinesque "great leap forward" in industry and the renewed spotlight on show trials, such as that of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot.
But the Kremlin has gone to some lengths to downplay the cult of Putin's personality. None of the celebrations held on Sunday were officially sponsored by the Kremlin. Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the president disliked such grandiose displays and would celebrate the day surrounded by close family and friends in his home town of St Petersburg.
Yet the state's hand was visible in nearly all the festivities. NTV, a state-run channel owned by the gas monopoly Gazprom, aired a fawning documentary detailing the ins and outs of Putin's daily life. There was Putin in his cavernous office, Putin swimming laps in a pool, Putin peeking into a refrigerator, Putin answering the questions of a journalist with a brow that strained to furrow.
Rumours of plastic surgery have long haunted Putin, who continues to maintain a macho image despite his advancing years.
Young Guard, the youth wing of the ruling United Russia party, attempted to boost that image with a racy video featuring young women re-enacting the stunts for which Putin has become notorious – from his love of skiing and hockey to his Black Sea dive to retrieve two Greek urns, which he later admitted was faked.
Another youth activist, who stripped for Putin in 2010 as part of a racy calendar begging the then prime minister to return to the presidency, said this year she would give him a "pussy" alongside suggestive photos of her with a cat and Putin's portrait. "I think he's an awesome man, a strong leader and the ideal leader for the country," Alisa Kharcheva said.
A recent poll by the Levada Centre, an independent pollster, found that 20% of Russian women would marry Putin, given the chance.
Presents and goodwill messages poured in from across the former Soviet Union, including one from Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox church, whose close relationship with Putin prompted the cathedral protest that resulted in Pussy Riot's arrest.
"Today, Russian citizens' desire to live in peace and harmony, to determine their own destiny, and to maintain their spiritual and cultural identity, is being realised in large part thanks to your efforts and timely decision-making," Kirill said. He went on to wishing the president "God's help and success in your work for the benefit of the fatherland".
Russian officials remained mum on another anniversary celebrated on 7 October, the day in 2006 on which the investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered. As Putin was getting ready to celebrate his birthday in St Petersburg, opposition activists in the northern city gathered in the centre of town to unfurl a banner reading: "Putin, we remember everything."

Feeling behind on your bills and loaded down under a mountain of debt is a terrible feeling. It's a burden when you work each month only to still feel crushed by the amount you owe. Unfortunately, many Americans are in that situation. In 2011, 69 percent of U.S. households were in debt, USA Today reports, and the median debt load was $70,000. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Follow these five suggestions and you can put yourself on a path to being debt free.
1. Evaluate your situation
You've committed to doing whatever it takes to get rid of your debt. In order to do that, you need to figure out exactly what your situation is. Bankrate recommends you begin by pulling your credit report. It doesn't have to cost you anything to get one, either — you receive one free credit report each year from Equifax, TransUnion, or Experian. The most important part of the process is to make sure you're reading your report correctly. Don't underestimate what you owe. This is the time to be honest about the amount of debt you have.

Their Eyes Were Watching GodAuthor:
Hurston, Zora Neale, Danticat, Edwidge
Pub Date: 2006
Publisher: Harpercollins
Summary: "'Their Eyes Were Watching God' brought a heartbeat and breath to all Hurston's years of research. Raising a folk culture to the heights of art, it fulfilled the Harlem Renaissance dream....The paramount ironies, however, are two: the heroine is not quite black, and becomes even less black as the story goes on; and the author offers perhaps the most serious Lawrentian vision ever penned by a woman of sexual love as t...he fundamental spring and power of life itself."

Jason Sudeikis Talks Huricane Irene on the "Late Show"
Kicking off his week with a press stop, Jason Sudeikis paid a visit to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City as he readied for an appearance on "The Late Show With David Letterman" last night (August 29).
Taking the stage for promotional duties, the suit clad "Saturday Night Live" veteran was on-hand to promote his forthcoming comedy "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy."
Like many Big Apple-based celebs, Jason's last weekend was filled with Hurricane Irene preparations - or lack thereof in his case.
As for how he geared up for the massive storm, Sudeikis jokingly told Letterman, "You know I'm a former Boy Scout. So you know I take that stuff seriously, I got two bottles of water...but like the big ones, not the little ones, with the squirt top! Oh and then some chips and salsa!"

How to start a conversation in social media forums
Press Release – Genesis Interactive
Good pick up lines and ways to break the ice, to start conversations with strangers, is enough to make anybody's palm break into a sweat – it's also possibly one of the biggest obstacles to more people adopting social media marketing. How to start a conversation in social media forums
Good pick up lines and ways to break the ice, to start conversations with strangers, is enough to make anybody's palm break into a sweat – it's also possibly one of the biggest obstacles to more people adopting social media marketing.
Genesis Interactive's CEO, Manas Kumar, says there are few things more intimidating than the first words we say to a stranger – whether face to face or online in social media forums – and we all wish we could come up with witty and engaging things to say.
"Certainly when it comes to social media, you have an opportunity to think about it and plan it a bit better which, in some ways, is more pressure because people expect even better quality."
Genesis Interactive recently launched www.cometseo.com, a cloud based search engine optimisation application that simplifies 'the getting found' process for website owners. One of the features CometSEO's offers is to trawl through social media websites, dropping conversation starters.
"Once somebody responds to your so conversation prompt, for example on Twitter, the user is alerted and can pick up the conversation from there. However, the challenge is still coming up with something to say that will break the ice."
Bearing in mind that conversation starters are merely a way to open a dialogue with customers, website visitors and referral sources, Mr Kumar offers three tips on how to generate engaging conversation starters:
1. Express a common frustration, one that your customers may identify with, but be specific i.e. "dentist costs are too high in New Zealand!" 2. Ask for feedback or thoughts on a particular product. For example, when Genesis launched CometSEO, the company tweeted for SEO specialists to "give it a test drive and tell us what you think ". The company enjoyed a huge response and discussion with those that did. 3. Say something inspirational. It's a good idea to use an existing quote that resonates with you or your business, or even something you've thought of i.e. 'why is it I know what to do, but never do it?'
"The key to doing business, getting people to your website, is prompting conversation. Engage first, and the selling will take care of itself."

A nun was in a hurry on her way to her job at the local Catholic Charity
Hospital when her car suddenly runs out of gas. Luckily, she was only a
block and a half from a gas station, so she got out of her car and
quickly walked there.
At the station, she asked the attendent to give her a quart of gasoline
so that she could start her car and drive it over to fill it up. The
attendent told her that he only had one gas can, and he just loaned it
to someone else.
She told the attendent that she was in a hurry and would look in her
car to find something to hold the gas. When she got back the the car, the
only suitable container she found was a bedpan, which looked like it could
easily hold a quart of gas.
She brought the bedpan to the station and the attendent filled it with
gas. The nun got back to her car and started to pour the gas from the
bedpan into her car.
Just as she started pouring, two men walked by. One of the men said to
the other "If that car starts, I'm converting to catholicism forever!"

Reese Dismukes helps lead season of change at Auburn
Auburn -- J.B. Grimes was saying something about getting his achy knee checked out. The Auburn offensive line coach better if he wants to keep up with his starting center. He'll have to stay in shape to keep up with center Reese Dismukes when fall practice begins next month. "He leads every drill. It's a race for me to beat him there," Grimes says. For more information on Reese Dismukes and the Auburn Football Team, click here.
