Aboriginal prodigy steals the night at Australia music awards
By Rob Taylor
CANBERRA (Reuters) - Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, a blind Aboriginal man hailed as the greatest voice Australia has ever recorded, carried the night at the country's top music awards, despite most awards going to a 17-year-old schoolgirl.
Blind since birth, Gurrumul, 37, speaks almost no English, but has become a sensation in his homeland, with a haunting, lilting voice and lyrics sung in three indigenous languages which few Australians understand.
"He captures a very particular feeling that is part of Yolngu culture, about pining but at the same time feeling happy, about longing for your land but not worrying about it," spokesman Michael Hohnen told Australian media.
The acutely shy Gurrumul, a self-taught outback guitarist who plays his instrument upside down, stunned crowds at the annual Australian Record Industry Awards night on Sunday, winning best independent release.
Critics have described his voice as having "transcendental beauty." Others compare it to "slow rain."
Sting, Elton John, and Icelandic singer Bjork are fans, along with Australian former rock star and Arts Minister Peter Garrett, who recently said the Elcho Island-born singer had penned the greatest songs he had ever heard.
"You're hearing 80,000 years coming out of one little throat," said critic Hugh Benjamin.
Gurrumul has so far refused to give in to public hype and said he uses music awards to open clams at his island home in Arnhem Land, 560 kilometers (350 miles) east of Darwin. Continued...

Just to throw this out there.. a 115hp 1990 Mazda Miata will smoke a WRX on the track, and is arguably considerably more fun to drive.
Took me a bit to find a decent list of track times.. but here you have 261 competitors, and you see time and time again Miata's putting down faster track times than WRX/STi. Autocross Results :: Results: Live Results for 3/7/2013

"It's not turbo-lag, it's foreplay"
Because horse power is of little importance in racing (and enjoyability). A well designed, light, exceptionally handling car goes a long ways in both of those aspects. The engine in the WRX and STi sits too far forward in the chassis to be competitive in motor sports.. one of the big reasons Subaru was no longer competitive in WRC and finally withdrew.

"It's not turbo-lag, it's foreplay"
HP and torque don't equate to speed, much less performance. In fact forward speed doesn't equate to performance.
Elsewhere you stated that you checked, and found that brakes and suspension and lights don't make a car faster... In fact, they do.
Engine output isn't what defines speed or performance. That MGA with less than 80HP is revered and has been for six decades; it's not because of the HP. There is something else going on.
There is something else going on with the Mini, the A112 Abarth, the MR2, the Miata, the list goes on.
Now, add to all that the fact that just because a car is fast doesn't make it good, or even interesting (there are dozens of cars faster than mine that are neither better cars nor interesting cars) and it's not surprising that simply asking for more power won't get you anywhere, so to speak.
I've been driving for 25 years. I've had fun -- and been in over my head at times -- with 50 HP.
If you are quicker or get bored, then see if you can figure out what HP equals fun for you. For me, in the right car, it's 50.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, 1929

Comics Fans Worldwide,
This month, Top Shelf is proud to bring to you several amazing Alan
Moore projects, solicited in the current Diamond PREVIEWS catalog.
Printings will be limited on these books, so be sure to pre-order them
at your local retailer to guarantee that you'll get a copy. For example,
Top Shelf: Asks The Big Questions (featuring the banned DC Comics
"Cobweb" story), the Alan Moore Lithograph, and Portrait Of An
Extraordinary Gentleman will NOT be reprinted:
Co-edited by Rob Goodin and Brett Warnock
Co-edited by Rob Goodin and Brett Warnock, Top Shelf Asks The Big
Questions, features the controversial Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie
Cobweb story, previously banned by DC Comics from the ABC/Wildstorm
anthology Tomorrow Stories, providing Moore's heroine and her fans with
the sense of completion they are due. Note: The story is published in
its original form, but to respect DC's copyright on "Cobweb," the story
has been re-titled "La Toile" (the French word for "The Web"). … Also
inside this behemoth anthology, replete with full-color and two-color
sections and clocking in at 336 pages, you'll find: a tribute to Charles
Schulz, with strips by Chris Ware, Seth, Ivan Brunetti, Joe Matt, Tony
Millionaire, Tom Hart and more; an amazing collection of international
comics by Jason, Martin Tom Dieck, Nicolas Mahler, Ulf K, Winshluss, and
the Swiss comics collective Atrabile; plus stateside inkstuds like Matt
Madden, Renée French, Josh Simmons, Jesse Reklaw, Mack White, James

As Alan Moore fans are well aware, Mr. Moore is not usually one for the
public spotlight. In fact, the most commonly seen photo of Alan is the
same one originally used for the back cover of Watchmen — taken almost
20 years ago! Recently, José Villarrubia conducted a long photo session
with Alan Moore at his home in Northamton, and from that exquisite
batch, Top Shelf presents the first ever, official portrait of Alan
Moore. José, the master digital artist and photographer (for books like
the Eisner-nominated Veils and Promethea), and Eisner-nominated
colorist (Fantastic Four: 1234, Sentry, Hellshock and Cage),
beautifully captures the essence of Alan in this striking image suitable
for framing. 13″ x 17″, Full Color.

and it's time once again to roll the presses on GOOD-BYE, CHUNKY RICE.
If you haven't jumped onto this speeding bandwagon, it's not too late to
do so. Alan Moore says: "Both funny and genuinely touching in turn,
Craig Thompson's Good-bye, Chunky Rice is an affecting meditation upon
friendship, loneliness and loss, all delivered with a real feel for the
musicality of the comic strip form. … Highly recommended." Spin Magazine
says: "This one-shot graphic novel is the comics debut of the year;
every one of its 128 pages is beautifully composed, sparkling with
invention and life." Publishers Weekly says: "Thompson has crafted an
enduring fable … that will charm anyone separated from a dear and loving
friend." Good-bye, Chunky Rice is an absolutely essential tome for every
graphic novel reader. A quite picture novella of a journey to find one's
self, and the deeper meaning of life.

How Entrepreneurs Can Manage Having a Personal Life
Posted on November 16, 2012
Let's start by facing a harsh fact: As entrepreneurs and startup aficionados, we are workaholics.
Our lifestyles revolve around our schedules and ourselves. Littered with endless emails, phone calls, customer relations' headaches, and the lingering fear of failure, there is no avoiding the fact that we commit ourselves to our businesses, day and night.
In these choices, you are often your best friend and your worst enemy. But amidst all the chaos, it's vital to remember that working around the clock doesn't have to strain your relationships with your friends (also known as "the people who will keep you sane").
The heart of the problem
After one too many tense relationships with friends as a result of my work, I think the majority of the problem is derived from our different schedules, attitudes, and lifestyles. As entrepreneurs, yes, we do control our hours. To our friends, this means we should be able to drop our work and go for a round of golf at any given time.
In reality, we all know that can't happen. Part of being a successful entrepreneur means having enough self-control to squeeze more hours into your workday than your fun time.
Stress also comes into play. As an entrepreneur (or any type of professional, for that matter), it's no secret that it's hard to manage stress. Being self-employed definitely has its perks, but the minutiae of your business is what's daunting.
The constant thought of your business, your to-do list, and the need to provide more value to your company consumes you with stress. This doesn't always play well into maintaining strong friendships. Our friends often don't understand the passion we have for our work or the level of commitment it takes to beat the typical startup's potential to fail. We are responsible for everything, so the weight on our shoulders can obscure the lightness of having fun and maintaining friendships.
The solution to all of this? Educate and involve.
Knowledge is power
My friends don't understand the commitment it takes to see my company vision through to the end. Although it doesn't necessarily seem that way to us, entrepreneurship and what it takes to succeed are often difficult topics for people to wrap their heads around. Most people work 9-to-5 jobs, with managers and executives who handle the behind-the-scenes stuff. As an entrepreneur, you handle both the frontline and background work – and this can be hard for people to realize when their jobs aren't 24/7.
Unfortunately, friends who don't share our entrepreneurial mindsets see friendships in absolutes – black and white, you vs. them. Some friends will understand your priorities, but some won't. But as the king of all badasses, Dr. Seuss, said, "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
Whether it's missing a birthday party, a wedding, or a happy hour, or not returning a phone call, friends will typically see that you made a conscious decision – and it wasn't in their favor. In their eyes, you chose work over them.
To help them better understand your lifestyle, you must make it relatable. Focus on their passion and connect it to your passion with examples. Have a friend who obsessively follows Major League Baseball? Ask him if he'd expect a pro player to ditch batting practice to hang out with his drinking buddies. Framing your goals this way can change your friends' perception of how important your work is.
Friends make the world go 'round
When it comes to making time for friends, it's all about putting in the effort. If you make the time – and you can always make time for something you care about – your true friends will understand if you have to cancel. I schedule high-priority events, birthdays, and happy hours all the same, as if they were normal appointments and equally essential. This way, I avoid overbooking. As events draw closer, I can assess whether I have to make them or break them, due to my work schedule.
Remember one keyword: balance. Having a startup succeed is an amazing feeling, but it's not an amazing feeling if you don't have anyone to share it with. Friends are the people who will keep your sanity in check during the inevitable stress of starting up a business, so don't let them fall by the wayside. It's a lonely world if you don't take care of all aspects of your life.

The aim here is now is to compel customers to buy. So, I think decelerate your selling, focus more on the buying. Take a step and take a look at work just in case you skipped some viral steps. And it's great to have a knowledge about this.

Vehicle Hits, Kills Rare Fla. Panther
Published May 22nd, 2010
OCHOPEE, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a rare Florida panther was hit and killed by a vehicle in Big Cypress National Preserve in Collier County.
The 120-pound male was estimated to be 5 or 6 years old, was found Friday. The animal was collared more than a year ago and had a home range that covered 150 square miles between U.S. 41 and Interstate I-75.
It's the sixth vehicle-related panther death of 2010, the ninth overall.
Experts say just more than 100 panthers are left in the wild.

6:00 - 7:30 pm Peregrine Room FR-240
"Independent America: The Two-Lane Search for Mom & Pop" (2006) This film follows Hanson Hosein (Emmy and Overseas Press Club winner, former NBC journalist) and his wife, Heather Hughes (NBC News) as they hit the road and travel 13 thousand miles through 32 states in search of Independent America. They do it all while abiding by two simple rules of the road: 1) No Interstates: They can only travel on secondary highways and country roads 2) They can only do business with Mom & Pop. No McDonalds, No Best Westerns. No Wal-Marts. The documentary feature uncovers the growing discontent with big box, corporate America. The filmmakers capture pockets of resistance across the country, which adds up to a nationwide opposition: Starbucks is vandalized in Colorado. Supporters of an anti-big box law in Arizona are compared to Nazis. A rebellious Texan city forces Borders Books into retreat. Patriotic residents of America's "Fourth of July" capital in Nebraska start to turn on their new super center. And an entire town in Wyoming goes into business for itself after it's abandoned by its chain department store. And what does the world's largest retailer have to say about it all? The filmmakers stop in Bentonville, Arkansas - home to Wal-Mart - to find out. Independent America: The Two Lane Search for Mom & Pop is a film that encourages people to think hard about where they spend their money.

Research: Molecular pharmacology
Voltage-gated calcium channels are key players in a large array of physiological processes including contraction of cardiac, vascular and skeletal muscle, release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals, gene expression, and hormone secretion. The long-range goal of our studies is to contribute to the development of drugs that can modulate voltage-gated calcium channels in a tissue and type selective manner to treat cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. Work in our laboratory is focused on two general questions.
Cardiovascular Disease: How do small molecule drugs modulate voltage-gated calcium channels? Three distinct classes of small molecule drugs that modulate L-type calcium channels are currently in clinical use: dihydropyridines (DHP), phenylalkylamines (PAA) and benzothiazepines (BZP). These drugs are used extensively to treat cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, angina pectoris and some arrhythmias. Using site-directed mutagenesis, expression of recombinant channels in tsA 201 cells, and whole-cell patch-clamp recording techniques, we have identified key amino acid residues for the interaction of each class of drugs with L-type channels. Using this information, we were able to construct a dihydropyridine binding site in a normally DHP-insensitive P/Q- type calcium channel by making only 9 amino acid substitutions. The resulting mutant channel exhibited dihydropyridine modulation nearly identical to that of L-type channels. This result suggests that DHPs may be a useful starting point in the search for calcium channel type selective drugs. Recent work in my lab has centered on describing the binding site for the BZP diltiazem in the Cav1.2 L-type channel, as well as the Ca2+ binding site in the channel that modulates the affinity for diltiazem. We are currently using chemical reagents in conjunction with mutations in the drug binding sites to understand how drug binding modulates channel function.
Type II Diabetes: What roles do L-type calcium channels play in insulin-secreting cells? Drugs acting on L-type calcium channels are used mainly for their effects on the cardiovascular system. L-type channels are, however, located in many tissues outside of the cardiovascular system, most notably in neurons and endocrine cells. Two distinct L-type channels, Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, are often present in the same cells, and distinct roles for each have been difficult to identify, since they are blocked by the same drugs. However, Cav1.2 and 1.3 channels are divergent in regions accessible to the cytoplasm, suggesting distinct roles for these channels in cell signaling. Our current research is focused on the role of Cav1.2 and 1.3 channels in insulin secreting cells. My lab has developed mutant versions of Cav1.2 and 1.3 that are resistant to the DHP class of L-type channel blockers (Cav1.2/DHPi and Cav1.3/DHPi), but normally sensitive to the BZP diltiazem. After introducing these mutant channels into insulin-secreting INS-1 cells, we are able to functionally isolate either Cav1.2 or Cav1.3 channels by "turning off" endogenous L-type channels with the DHP nifedipine. Using this approach, we found that Cav1.3, but not Cav1.2, channels are coupled to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from INS-1 cells. Further, we found that Cav1.3, but not Cav1.2, channels are coupled to glucose-stimulated oscillations in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations. We are currently testing a series of chimeric Cav1.2/1.3 channels to determine which regions of Cav1.3 are critical for coupling to insulin secretion.

RCDb Rebrands as Watchwith, Launches Watchwith Platform-as-a-Service, Opens Beta Developer Program
Related Content Database (RCDb) announced Tuesday that it has changed its name to Watchwith, and launched what it calls its Watchwith Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) product offering. The company also unveiled a new logo and Web site (http://www.watchwith.com), and opened a beta developer program for the Watchwith Platform.
According to the company, the Watchwith Platform enables the addition of a layer of time-based metadata to programming, allowing content-owners to build new business models and drive consumer engagement with program-related content across multiple connected devices--content-owners can use the platform to create new, licensable related content properties that "will generate profits across media far into the future," the company claims. It says that the platform's Web-based console enables time data management from creation to delivery. "Our new name reflects our mission, to create a world where every frame of film and television is rich in amazing opportunities," Watchwith CEO, Zane Vella, said in a prepared statement. "The Watchwith Platform provides the essential foundation for time-data event creation, integration, control, syndication and measurement. Content owners and developers can now dimensionalize and add value to every moment of their movies, television programs and advertising."
According to Watchwith, by allowing the addition of a layer of time-based metadata to programming, its platform "drives user experience, builds new business models and unlocks value based on the context of [the] programming." The platform allows content-owners to create and syndicate related content, the company says, while simultaneously maintaining control over the "related content experience" and the monetization of their programming across any connected device.
The company also bills the platform as facilitating the development and delivery of apps that "will redefine how people engage with films, television programs and advertisements." Its beta developer program is located at http://watchwith.com/developers.
The principal components of the Watchwith platform, according to the company, include:
- Watchwith Console: Web-based tools for creating, managing and controlling time-based events.
- Watchwith Showrunner: a Mac OSX desktop app for creating and programming related content experiences.
- Related Content Database: a database that stores content-owner-created time-based events and second-by-second metadata for "thousands" of films and TV shows.
- Watchwith API: a scalable interface for multiplatform metadata distribution, which the company says supports a range of file, syndication and delivery formats.
- Watchwith Sync Service: client and server software that is designed to enable synchronization with IP-delivered content, and also leverages EBIF to enable content synchronization in legacy/low-resource set-top box environments.
- Watchwith Tester Apps and SDK's: accelerate development of time-based-metadata-driven apps and offer pre-integrated support for Gracenote Entourage, Zeitera and Audible Magic automatic content recognition (ACR) solutions.

Hi Travelers. Welcome to San Francisco!
Be prepared to be awed, amazed, delighted and informed. Such an audacious name as "Best" has been, to say the least, difficult to live up to. We believe we have achieved that.
Just as the best wines of California's Wine Country come from small boutique wineries, so also do the most thoughtful tours, charters, and transportation services come from the smallest tour companies. As you browse our web site you will begin to understand why that is so. In a nutshell, it is because you get to let us know what you expect to see and what fits comfortably with your needs. We then make suggestions and your service begins.
We do tours in a way that is more personal. Instead of the same beaten path taken by the other tour companies, we take you into the neighborhoods and turn you on to San Franciscans' San Francisco. Our guests select lunch destinations and photo shoot stops. So get on board for an introduction to the most remarkable area of the Western edge of this continent; California's Central Coast and San Francisco.
Check out our sister site San Francisco limousine service and see additional services we offer!
Our services are as follows:
Narrated Tours San Francisco, Oakland/East Bay, Muir Woods, Wine Country, Monterey/Carmel, Yosemite. We also do these tours as directed multi-lingual.

GOOD NEWS: Our Online Refill Tool is new and improved!
- Use the link on the Donlon's website to get to the new refill page: The "PRESCRIPTION REFILLS" button with the paper & pencil just at the top of the gray bar at your right.
- You can choose the Express Refill option, which allows you to order a refill without signing in or getting an account. This is quick and easy, but does require you to have the Rx number.
- Or you can sign up for your own Account, which will give you a lot more access to your medication history, allowing you to see which medications are ready for refill and which are not. You won't have to hunt down any old bottles or Rx numbers as all the details will display in your Account. Even better, you can manage your account to set up automatic reminder calls (or emails or texts) for when medications are due for refilling or are ready for pickup.
- This system will automatically phone a reminder to you about 4 days after we fill your prescription, if you have not yet picked it up. The system will phone again on the 10th day, if you have not picked it up and if we have not returned it to stock. An Rx that has been waiting 7 days may be returned to stock.
- AAAAANNNNNDDD . . . We also have a smartphone app that is the easiest way to do refills. Just look for RX2Go in your app store, download it and you'll be able to do all the above things in the app. Nice.
Oh, and before you ask: No, there is no way to pay for anything through this website. It's about simplifying communication and your ability to manage your medication profile.
IMPORTANT NOTE: While you can update your phone numbers and such on the account management page, it will only make changes on that web page and will only affect how the automatic notification calls go out. You cannot update any of the information in our secure pharmacy software from there: our pharmacy software is completely isolated from the web-based refill tool. If you need to change the phone or address we have on file in the pharmacy, you'll need to call us or stop by to let us know directly.
ALSO: IF you are in the store (or call us) and give us your cell phone number for your profile, then the system will send you a text message about 15 minutes after we finish any prescription for you. Early warning without having to answer a call! Again: Nice.
The Donlon Pharmacy website will still allow you to email us at this address (firstname.lastname@example.com) and if you're in a spot where it seems easier, you can still just email us your full name, which drug you want, and any instructions and we'll refill it for you.
And of course you can also still send us text messages at 563-265-1774.

Their sudden decline and eventual extinction in the 1930's has been widely attributed to man. We salute the Thylacine and hope that through awareness and showing tender loving care to our fellow earthly inhabitants we can prevent the loss of other species at the hand of man.

Top 5 Best Practice Recommendations from Cisco PR
Yesterday, my colleague, Julie Sarpy, and one of her partners, had a great conversation about PR with our resident channel-focused PR guru, Gareth Pettigrew. Julie shared her extraordinarily detailed notes from this meeting with me and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you. There is some very useful information included here – from a Top 5 best practice recommendations to some very practical advice on what you can reasonable do with limited resources.
Top 5 PR Best Practices from Cisco
1. Executive sponsorship: PR is great way to increase your companies visibility. You will need executive sponsorship in order to do it. Executives need to be committed to PR from the get go. Work with the senior executive team to see if it's something you want to explore. It's not best executed as part of the tactical marketing mix. It's like pushing a rock up the hill. You need to go to top of the hill and let the rock roll down. Marketing managers can't drive PR. People listen to senior execs. First, develop the idea of what you want to achieve on a PR front and then go to exec before starting to execute it. Doesn't necessarily have to be the CEO, but someone at the top who reports into the CEO.
2. Trusted advisor: You will need to find a resource who can be a trusted advisor..someone with specific skill set in PR and make it a long term commitment. Someone who really understands your business to help you identify a strategy on the PR front and can execute it for you. Be cautious of engaging with large PR agencies. If you're a small fish in a large pond, you won't get the attention you deserve. Look for small consultants (one man shops in your local area that you feel comfortable with) or former journalists due to tremendous turnover in the publishing/media landscape in the past few years and these people have tremendous skills and can be had at a cheaper price than a large agency.
3. Don't boil the ocean: You need to be very focused with what you're going to achieve. Tell a complete story of how the core technologies, e.g. unified communciations and data center, work together. Don't try to do too many tactics..focus on doing a one or two things really well & gain momentum in time.
4. Measure Success: How do you know what success looks like? What are your goals? Raise awareness in the local market so you have an easier time finding prospects or getting customer leads? If your goal it to be featured 5 times a year in local publications (TV, newspaper, etc), then make sure you meet this goal. Be specific with where you want to get coverage, what topics you want people to be talking about, etc.
5. Sum of the Parts: PR has changed dramatically in the past few years. PR is a lens through which you can improve what you're doing across broader corporate initiatives. First, customers…focus on customer references to drive success stories. Second, get involved w/ local charities and spread the word about it. Finally, social media…find someone with social media expertise and have them create dialogue and discussion about your company, products and services. The former journalist could play a pivotal role in guiding your social media strategy. Link PR content you develop on Twitter, Linked In, Facebook, etc.
What can you do if you don't have the money to hire trusted advisor?
Scale back ambitions. Take advantage of the real low hanging fruit: Make sure you work with vendor partners to leverage their PR templates. When you get new certifications at Cisco, make sure you use the templates and get Cisco to approve it. Candidly, it won't produce much media coverage. Post to newsroom and/or corporate website. Make sure there's a drum beat of those press releases on a regular basis.
Look at customer reference initiatives. When does a customer become newsworthy? It becomes newsworthy on the PR front when the deployment is complete and the customer has seen real tangible benefits…not when the deal is signed. You need to focus on post-deployment success. Write a story that is interesting and relevant from a business impact perspective. The holy grail is measurable impact on the entire business (ex. 30% more cost effective to run and the sales staff could dynamically reach 40% more customers or allowed them to do "xyz" – what they could never do before). Nirvana: Owner of small business who can now do their job but still spend more time with their grandkids….bring it down to a much more human level. When a customer signs a PO, normally they are ready for a customer success story 6-9 months down the road.
Bring on someone to work as a contractor on project by project basis based on results. For instance, you get $2K for developing our PR strategy and writing a news release. You'll get $3K for having x number of hits on this article. Make it commission based.
How can you build a PR network if you already have customer references? How do you get the word out?
Technology trade press: Pick the outlets that are familiar to you (Network World, eWeek, etc.) and find a reporter that regularly writes on customers or focuses on the specific technology. Send an email pitch outlining what the customer is talking about and they are often willing to talk with you.
Local press: Look at the local paper and make sure you find the business reporter. At most local papers, there is no technology reporter…only business reporters, so you have to focus on business benefits. Send them a pitch and often they will reach out to you.
Try develop relationships w/ beat reporters. Find the true experts and reach out to them.
Comment on blogs: If you have a very well spoken expert, like your lead engineer perhaps, have that person comment regularly on stories of a business or technology blogger.
Thoughts on leveraging local business journals?
It's a tough slog. If you do have a dedicated PR resource, that becomes a realistic target. The challenge you face is there have been so many cut backs in these publications and it's usually a general business reporter who is completely overwhelmed. It's hard to get published in these journals.
How do you measure the success of a PR campaign and at what intervals do you measure?
Measure how your are doing versus your peers in specific technology areas. You could identify the three key messages you want to get across. Measure yourself not only on the volume of coverage you get but the quality of coverage (feature stories, getting inserted into broader technology pieces, the tone of the message, etc.). Measure it quarterly.
What social media sites are most key for business?
Don't boil the ocean. You need to have a holistic strategy and dedicated resources to drive a conversation across social media. It will never work if you're only putting events on these sites. If you had a collaboration spokesperson, as an example, to engage in discussions around this topic, track five journalists and comment on their stories/blog postings, engage as an industry expert and build a Twitter community to engage for 20 minutes 3 x a week, you will see some traction. You need a commitment like this to really get a response.

These are all great tips, Ruth, Julie and Gareth! In our work with tech companies, including many Cisco partners, I can't say enough about Tip #1. Executive sponsorship will help your entire team avoid indecision and more quickly reap the rewards of PR initiatives. Another area where we see organizations struggle is with content. You can save your team considerable time and frustration by hiring a transcriber and editor to turn ongoing WebEx presentations or taped presentations into how-to articles or white papers. And, if you don't have presentations to transcribe, hire a competent writer or journalist to spend 30 minutes with your top subject matter experts. An experienced journalist can turn your engineer's detailed recommendations and perspectives into polished articles/answers that will fuel your sales team's online discussions and your inbound marketing programs.Again, you've covered a lot of territory, and I hope these ideas will help ease content bottlenecks!
Practical ideas that can easily be introduced into any business. Thank you for the information.
Valuable information that I'm sure we will be able to translate into increased business. Look forward to more information.
Many thanks for article!
Nice write up. I have some great ideas from your information. Thanks again and will be looking for your next one. All the best.

I had expected to get thousands of images of masks and performers, and the charachters harlequin, pantalone, brighella and so on...
But no.....my search resulted in 8 photos, wow I think I discovered a niche...:)

Who's the friend in the background? Interactional strategies in determining authenticity in calls to a national children's helpline
Emmison, Michael & Danby, Susan J. (2007) Who's the friend in the background? Interactional strategies in determining authenticity in calls to a national children's helpline. Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 30(3), 31.1-31.17.

A significant number of calls made to Kids Help Line are seen by the organization as not requiring counselling support, but are rather young people testing or 'checking out' the service. Although the status of many of these 'testing calls' is self-evident, determining the authenticity of others presents the helpline counsellors with a dilemma: confronting the caller if they have doubts about the caller's reason for calling while, at the same time, avoiding a premature challenge when the call is genuine. We examine the various interactional strategies that the counsellors artfully deploy in their determination of the status of a call. Outright challenges are rare, and counsellors typically will employ devices that announce their suspicions indirectly and which, at the same time, seamlessly accomplish the mundane business of responding to a call in ways which treat the callers with respect.

- - Please wear your PFD's (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/89437-please-wear-your-pfds.html)
Please wear your PFD's
Today the Admiral and I are going to a wake for a fellow sailor.
He died doing what he loved, racing sailboats.
He was retreaved from the water within 2 minutes of having fallen in but sadly it was to late.
His PFD was sitting on a cockpit bench.
Re: Please wear your PFD's
I do, and wont leave the slip without it. I single hand so there really is not a chance someone is coming back to get me back on board. It all started when I would only wear it when it was 15kts+ but then one lovely evening I had headed to port only about 5 miles out when the wind was dying and I was messing around on deck. Then that funny wave came from a different direction and I lost my balance and fell fully back on the lifelines. They held and I righted myself but I realized had I fallen a little bit higher or to an angle this would be much different. Sun setting, midweek no other boats near by no way Im swimming to shore in water temps in the mid 50,s. Now I carry a VHF and PFD always. At least there would be a body to recover so my family would have closure.
Please wear a PFD. It only takes a second and it could save your life.
Re: Please wear your PFD's
That's all very sad but if he died within 2 minutes he probably would have died even with a PFD - hypothermia?, head injury? You don't drown that easily.
BTW I singlehand all the time and wear my PFD all the time, plus I carry a personal EPIRB and a handheld VHF. I have jacklines as well and clip on if necessary because I know that if I go overboard I'll probably die.
Re: Please wear your PFD's
This point is well deserved and I thank you much for touching upon it.
Let's face it, those knee high lifelines are only there to pass standards. Those are the MINIMUM standards required to sell a boat. Look at the thing! All they can really do for full grown adult who is heaved against one is insure some reasonable bruising on their way over the side. I'm talking what comes aboard 25-45" boats here.
PFD's are fine and well, safety harnesses are a pain but a must. That VHF handheld isn't going to do a spit of good once it's wet unless it is Mil spec'd to MAYBE insure the thing comes up talking after taking a dump.
Everyday people go out single handing around with NO thought or care about WHAT IF.
Sailing is an intoxicant. It really is. However single handing is sailing of a purest form and needs to be addressed as such.
I never leave the cockpit when I am single without being tied off with a safety harness and a PFD. At least the PFD will provide shock absorption if I get whiplashed around a bit.
Running without any protection single is stupid at best. First and foremost you have to stay with that boat no matter what.
I learned rope from doing extreme vertical work from doing extreme vertical work for awhile as teen. At the same time I was also just getting into sailing. Between those two it didn't take much imagination to figure out that staying aboard while single was a non issue. Don't leave the boat!
Yes, You can
SAS Seminars
Which was very informative & reinforcing many things I'd read, it also included a Life Raft demo in pool + USCG helo live demo (impressive)
The most interesting part was a detailed description of what happens when someone falls overboard. The speaker talked about that the initial reaction is disbelief - the person just can't believe they are in the water - and until they focus & gather their wits - it represents the most dangerous time. Because involuntary swallowing of water can be ingested into the lungs which can lead to a quick death.
Even with a PFD, avoiding ingesting water with waves & wind can be challenging since many(depending on users weight & PFD type) do not keep the head and shoulders far enough above the water. Some new versions have spray hoods to help + crotch straps help keep PFD positioned properly because without they tend to ride up.
So 2 minutes can be enough to drown, unfortunately - scary:(
Re: Please wear your PFD's
He was not alone, his wife was at the helm.
The wind had increased to 20+ knots and they had just crossed the finish line in 1st. place. He was dropping the sails when the boom struck him in the chest and threw him overboard.
Within minutes a dozen boats were involved as well as our local seach and rescue.
His widow has donated there boat to their yacht club to be used as a club boat.
Sail on Jeff, you are already being missed.
Re: Please wear your PFD's
Please make sure you use proper life vests instead of PFD's. A PFD is not able to keep your face up if you are unconcious. A proper life vest will keep your head above water which means youcan breath even if you are unconcious.
Re: Please wear your PFD's
A type V inflatable pfd most certainly will roll you over and put your mouth up. It's the waterski type "vests" that may not.
Re: Please wear your PFD's
Re: Please wear your PFD's
Yes, you can drown that quickly, depending upon factors such as medical history, water temperature, fatigue, disorientation, etc. Persons without life preservers can lose the ability to swim in cold water within minutes, long before hypothermia can develop fully. I lost a friend who fell overboard from another friend's boat when we were about a thousand feet away; after about 30 seconds to a minute our friend slipped below the water and disappeared; his body was recovered 21 days later -- a week after the memorial service. His inflatable was in his sailing gear bag. RIP Marty, 1 May 2010.

As retailers approach the homestretch of the 2010 holiday shopping season, we thought it would be useful to share some insights from consumers about their Web buying activity. Forrester and Bizrate Insights teamed up in late November/early December to survey online customers, and here are a few of the findings:

6.5 turbo diesel blues
Well I bought another truck... and it's a little noisy.. I DID get a screamin' deal on it because of the engine problem (or so I think). All I want to end up with is a budget tow rig. I figure a rebuild is in order- but I don't know these diesels. Could be something more simple. This one has 212k on the clock. I made a short video to help diagnose.
Any diesel tech's out there?
sounds like valve train problem.These have hydraulic roller lifters on could be collapsed or a rocker or pushrod problem.
Thanks for the reply.
I'm a little apprehensive on starting/running it and killing more parts but I think you are right by saying valvetrain. The fact that it still carries 40 psi at idle may very well rule out bearing failures.
Will a stuck injector will cause a diesel engine to make nasty sounds like this too?
With the type injection system on this truck highly unlikely.The injection pump on these functions about the same as a distributor only instead of sending spark to the correct cylinder at the right time it injects fuel under high pressure.It really sounds like valve train I would pull the valve covers and check pushrods, lifter preload, broke rockers etc. first.
Also check the flexplate for cracks this is common.
It sounds like a valve train problem. However injectors on a diesel can make a terrible racket too.. Does the white smoke clear up after you get warmed up?? You may have a blown head gasket too.
I pull the valve covers and check for obvious problems.
You should be abel to read some codes with a code reader.
I'm not too familiar with GM diesels but it should start a lot easier than it did. There is probably a lift pump either inthe tank or inline. This supplies fuel to the injector pump. If these go bad hard starting is just one of the problems they cause.
Here's what caught my eye... oil pressure. 40 at idle is fine, but take a look at the temp gauge too. my stock 6.5 will almost peg the oil pressure gauge at cold idle. Then near the end when he revs it, the oil pressure doesn't rise much at all.
Its possible you lunched a main or rod bearing, but it sounds more like a valve issue. Mains and rods tend to clunk more than tick. If the smoke is blue, its oil. If its white, its diesel. If its diesel, you're in for injectors most likely unless the timing is way off. If its oil, you're in for at least rings.
But, the good news is that the rest of the truck looks nice, the alternator looks brand new, and even if you have to rebuild you still have a really nice truck.
The stock 6.5 has a couple weak spots. First of all, move the injector computer away from the engine. It can't take the heat and likes to die. Many aftermarket companies sell kits to do this, or you can get creative. There is rumor that the block decks and/or head decks are thin on the civilian models, but I've run two of them senseless and never had a head or block failure, nor a head gasket failure. But if you want to remedy that issue, just get a military block to replace it.
Stock HP ratings were 180-200, but don't let that fool you. They make more than enough torque for towing. If you want to up the ante a bit, intake and exhaust FIRST. That should give you a nice boost, but if it isn't enough go with a mild chip and an EGT gauge. With diesels you always improve airflow first, then add fuel. If you do it the other way around, your EGTs will spike and damage the turbo. Keep EGTs 1200 or less and all will be well.
What I would do first is use the screwdriver-to-the-ear trick to narrow down where the noise is. If its up top, pull the valve covers and diagnose what's wrong and fix it. Have spare valve cover gaskets handy since most of them came with cork/rubber gaskets that will leak if you try to reuse them. Then check the injector timing to see if the smoke is from retarded injection. Maybe pull the injectors and have them tested and rebuilt if necessary to get rid of that smoke... unless that's oil smoke in which case you'll need a whole rebuild - the extent of which can be determined between you and your machinist.
1993s had full mechanical fuel injection pumps, 94s went computer. sounds like wrist-pin , they had a rash of wrist pins breaking hear.Sounds like the engine is in very tough shape as even with 1 bad injector it would start better. put a gas in it the 6.5s are not a great engine . at least the 1 i had plus a customer had a fleet of them,sent them back after several years of grief.
I am with the valve train issue first but it has a dead hole when you are cranking it listen for the skip. White smoke on a diesel is unburned fuel most times than not and the puff puff out of the exhaust is in time with the miss/knock. Yes a bad injector will make noise hence the term injector knock. I would run a compression check to see what VC to pull off first.
I delt with one of these things for a short time and learned a little. First, they have alot of weak points, are expensive to work on, and are short on durability. They are notoriously hard to start if you have a bad set of glow plugs or something is not perfect. Mine never started quickly unless warm. Diesels can make nasty sounds with bad injectors so if you can have them tested cheaply it might be worth a shot. This could also explain the horrid amout of smoke. As mentioned computers can fail and cause all kinds of issues. The comment about checking timing is only valid if this is a 93 back since later are electronic. If the earlier there are timing marks on the pump where it goes in the block. You can see the marks with the cover off looking behind the water neck with a flashlight. The cracked flywheel is also worth looking. When I boat anchored my engine I found a cracked flywheel.
The best thing you can do is go to a 6.5T site and talk to the guys that know and like these engines. Most anyone else is gonna tell you they are junk....I would tend to lean to this side.
When mine broke a pulley and overheated, I yanked it out and replaced it with a cummins. Never looked back.
I agree that 6.5s aren't the greatest diesel, but they are far better than 90% of the gas engines out there. I'd rather have a crappy diesel than a great gas engine. I would rather spend the money to properly address the weaknesses of a diesel than to spend $500 dropping a gas engine in it. Anyone who has used a diesel to tow heavy loads would probably agree. There is just no comparison when you're towing 10k, your foot is to the floor and you top a mountain at 65 mph with the coolant at 180 degrees while getting 16 mpg.
I had my 6.5 (98 1-ton) pulling my 10k travel trailer from Phoenix to Flagstaff. Phoenix is at 1000 ft elevation. Flagstaff is at 7000. That's 6000 ft up and down in 150 miles. This was in July, and the temperature in Phoenix was 115 when we started. The whole trip I could choose whatever speed I wanted, the temp never went over 200, and the A/C was keeping us nice and cool. The bonus was we made that particular leg at 12 mpg. I don't mention this to sensationalize the topic, but when it comes to towing, diesel definitely gets the nod.
... well, I can think of SOME diesels that I don't want 80's BMW diesels come to mind

Good info guys. I am eager to turn wrenches on it. I'm admittedly not a diesel fanatic but since this thing will be the new tow rig, I may change my mind. I like the fact that I darn near stole this truck.
It's a '93 1 ton. Mechanical IP. Interior is nearly perfect. I'll be hotrodding a 6.5TD if a rebuild is needed-(maybe soon ). If I can get lucky and 'make the bad things go away' I'll drive it until I gain the knowledge (and thick skin) to have a 6.5 that will get out it's own smoke. Seems all problems with the 6.5TD is cooling/owner related. At least that's my take as I'm just starting to wrap my head around the whole 6.5TD scene. (that's a lot of wrapping)
The white smoke is pure unburnt diesel. And 40 psi while cold may not be what it needs to be. I can't help but think it's an injector stuck open. Yet it does have a metallic valvetrain sound.
I will be sure to post updates.
I would strongly urge you to think about dumping the 6.5 if it is not an easy fix. You can bolt in a cummins if you have any fab skills at all and you will be so much happier with that engine. I had both and there is no comparison. There are a couple of trucks in town where I am just like yours running cummins. They can be had for the cost of what it will take to rebuild the 6.5 if it has been severely overheated. My 6.5 sounded better than yours with two cracked heads.....
If you think it is an injector start the truck and crack open one line at a time. This will prevent that injector from firing.If a miss is not created when cracking the line you found the bad hole.Works the same as pulling a plug wire to isolate a miss.

Venison was not a regular part of my diet. But in the six months since I'd traded a Manhattan apartment for my tiny cabin on a dirt road, my life had done a 180. Instead of takeout Szechuan, I now bought chicken from a farmer a mile away, maple syrup from my neighbors and milk from the dairy down valley. As the weather turned cold that first year, I began dreaming about what my first Vermont Christmas dinner would be. I decided to recreate one of my father's favorite dishes: venison, with maple syrup and apples from an ancient tree near my stream.
There are more deer in New England now than when the Pilgrims first arrived, and in my valley big herds would graze nonchalantly in one field. Then, as I'd drive by, almost on cue they'd decide that the grass really was greener on the other side of the road. Hooves. White tails. Squealing brakes. Heart racing, I'd curse Bambi and all his brethren.
But come hunting season, the deer magically disappeared. Trucks with gun racks cruised up and down the road. In the general store, pictures of burly men in camouflage, proudly grasping large antlers, were thumbtacked to the bulletin board. But no one seemed to know where I could get venison. The closest I could find was a gourmet market a 45-minute drive away that sold frozen cuts. At $24 a pound. From New Zealand.

Democratic Primary Winner Faces Competition From Write-In Candidates
Written by Devon Boen
One race this political season is slightly different than most.
In June, Bridget Smith, Bill Whitehead and Walter White Tail Feather all ran for a seat in the Montana State House of Representatives in District 31 in the Democratic primary.
Smith came out on top with 38.7 percent of the votes. White Tail Feather followed closely behind with 33.4 percent and Whitehead trailed in third with 27.9 percent. There were a total of 613 votes in all.
Generally, that point would mark the end of the road for White Tail Feather and Whitehead, but the two men decided to choose a different path. Each defeated candidate decided to run as a write-in on the November ballot against Smith once again.
A write-in candidate is one whose name does not appear on the ballot, but voters are allowed to write the candidate of their choice's name on the ballot and color the oval if they'd prefer to vote for one of the write-ins over the already listed candidates. There is no Republican candidate, so Smith will only face off against her previous primary competition.
Some obvious hardships come along with being a write-in candidate, mostly in the realm of marketing and promoting. A candidate's name being listed gives them a distinct advantage, since a voter may not know who the write-in candidates are when they arrive at the polls on Election Day.
Smith, White Tail Feather and Whitehead have all handled the write-in situation in their own individual manner.
Smith, the candidate with the current advantage, attributes her success in the primary to name-recognition and community involvement. She has been in the area for over 40 years and has been involved in both politics and social work. Smith said this is the first time she has been the candidate rather than a behind-the-scenes participant.
Smith said she plans on using her people-skills to create solutions, if elected, and referred to herself as a worker bee. She stressed she views herself as a public servant and plans on being very vocal if she believes in an issue.
She named oil, agriculture and women's issues as ones she believed were particularly important this election year, but was quick to state how all issues need attention.
When asked how she was dealing with the write-in candidate situation, Smith said she wasn't focusing on it, but rather the issues. She said she was more concerned about understanding the issues and policies so she would be the best possible candidate if she were elected.
The issue of write-ins is slightly more pressing for the two who have entered the race in this manner.
Whitehead was born and raised in both Wolf Point and Poplar before spending time in Chicago, Ill., and Denver, Colo. Whitehead said he has always been interested in politics and involved himself in committees, movements and causes throughout his career.
He has also previously been a member of the Montana State Legislature.
He is currently working on the Assiniboine and Sioux Rural Water Supply System project, as well as campaigning.
To get his name out, Whitehead has been going door-to-door speaking with community members. He said he wanted to be elected because Montana needs strong aggressive leadership and he believed he would bring a wealth of experience to the table.
He also emphasized he wanted to continue to improve tribal and non-tribal relations while in office.
White Tail Feather is the other write-in candidate and is working on facing the same challenges as Whitehead.
White Tail Feather grew up in Poplar and went on to work at the Department of Energy in Washington, D.C.
After moving back to northeast Montana, White Tail Feather decided to run for office and said he wanted to focus on issues related to oil and economic development. He said he hoped to secure funding for small businesses in order to promote growth in the area.
White Tail Feather said he has been campaigning full-force in order to make up for any shortcomings created by being a write-in candidate. He said he has been going door-to-door connecting with the community.
All three candidates have approached the situation differently and plan to continue to campaign and increase name-recognition up until the votes have been tallied.
