We have some very unfortunate news to share. A member of our Labor and Employment Law family, Jeff Fannell, has lost his 22-year-old son, Joseph. As many of you know first-hand, Jeff is a superb professor and a spectacular alumnus. He is a double alum of St. John's (CPS '92, LAW '96), a long-time adjunct professor, and the inaugural Deputy Director for St. John's Sports Law L.L.M. Program. The wake and funeral will be in New Jersey on Friday. I am sure the Fannell family would greatly appreciate the support from the St. John's community. Details are attached.

Theme - BELLS
I've posted Toronto's Old City Hall before. I had intended to go out looking for bells to photograph this week but
we know how stuff can get in the way.
I love being downtown when the bells chime.
Installed in 1900 this Gillett and Johnston clock has run nearly continuously since then - keeping time on the clock tower of the Toronto Old City Hall.
Be amazed - Toronto relies on this ancient clock to keep time for the downtown core.
The bells are legendary and are an aural symbol of Toronto. The chiming of the bells punctuate the city, marking each 15 minutes of the day - seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
The clock room houses three bells. The largest bell, all 11,000 pounds of it, is known as Big Ben. There is one small and unofficial inscription just below the coat of arms on the bell and reads "J.K.Oct.18, 1900". Four garnished stone gargoyles grace the upper corners of the clock tower.

I think we can all recall President Barack Obama calling Kanye West a "jackass." It's not every day you hear the president elect dish out an unintendedly public response to the Video Music Awards, shown below, ending with a unfulfilled request of "come on guys, cut the president some slack."
Of course, before getting to Kanye West's recent backlash at the President in a radio interview, it's notable to point out that Obama has jokingly given more than a few Hollywood folks a hard time, and has been fairly relaxed about celebrity appearance compared to some of his predecessors.
For example, his appearance on Zach Galifianakis' show "Between Two Ferns," or his "Slow Jam the News" bit with Jimmy Fallon. He even hit Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton pretty good at his Correspondents Dinner speech in 2012, saying, "My fellow Americans, we gather during a historic anniversary. Last year at this time, in fact on this very weekend, we finally delivered justice to one of the worlds most notorious individuals," followed by a picture of Donald Trump flashing across the screen. For Hillary Clinton, a favorite possibility for the 2016 presidential election, he spoke on their changed relationship since the last election, saying, "Despite many obstacles, much has changed during my time in office. Four years ago I was locked in a brutal primary battle with Hillary Clinton. Four years later she won't strop drunk texting me from Cartagena." Finally, who can forget his hit toward Matt Damon in 2011, saying, "Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well Matt, I just saw the The Adjustment Bureau, so right back at you buddy."

Another pointless moment in the life of the surfing's next too-famous freesurfer
By Nathan Myers
Craig Anderson is making out with a lonely stewardess. He's in the middle of a crowded bar, but it's late, it's Bali, and what-the-hell ever. Craig's not really too into this little smooch-session, but the stewardess — from Switzerland — is. So…whatever. We're in Bali's hippest Friday nightclub for some end-of-comp booze-n-shmooze afterparty that we don't really have anything to do with and, well, whatever you know.
While he's making out, I lean into Craig and say, "You should just never go home. Never ever."
Three drinks earlier, the stewardess had asked him: "So, what, you don't live anywhere or do anything?"
I'd been trying to explain to her the nature of his, uh, job…and this was her understanding. I might as well have told her he was a ninja. She liked skiing. She kept trying to inject it into the conversation. "Have you heard So and So, the skiier?" she'd say. We hadn't, of course. No one has. No one cares about skiing.
Craig is a pretty big deal, I tell the stewardess. He's almost famous. He will be soon. Probably tomorrow. Or the next day.
The stewardess nods. Famous. Mmmmm.
But I'm not lying. Hansel is so hot right now. He's currently a profile subject in all sixteen major Aussie surf mags, and the US surf mags are forming a line behind them. He was the 7th (secret) Modern Collective agent. He's a star in Taylor Steele's next travel film. He can fly. He heals lepers. His hair is messy in just the right way.
"After all your profiles," I tell Craig. "You should just take a nap for three months. You're done. No one will want to touch you. You're spoiled goods. You'll be too famous."
Craig's laugh is a nervous laugh. "Yeah, I hope not," he says. "I just wanna keep doing good trips."
Two drinks earlier, I tried to explain Craig's surfing to the stewardess. Super relaxed, like a Machado or Parko, but he's doing the full Mod Col range of maneuvers, stomping big punts and getting way above the lip.
She nods her head when I said "Mod Col." It's loud in here. Somebody's hip-hopping over DJ music. The free beer has just run out
Craig's got some good waves in Castles in the Sky, I tell her. And he's here in Bali now filming for an Innersection submission.
The stewardess says she doesn't have a boyfriend. She just got out of an eight-year relationship. I tell her Craig doesn't have a girlfriend, either. He's from a good Christian family and he's friends with Jordy Smith.
When I say Jordy Smith, she nods her head. She says the name of a famous skiier. I tell her skiing isn't cool at all. You have to stand sideways to be cool. I stand up and show her what I mean by standing sideways…but I probably don't look cool doing it.
The thing about Craig's surfing, I tell her, you almost have to watch it in slow-motion to appreciate it. He's so relaxed and smooth, you barely notice that his little set-up turns are actually fins-free slides. Or that his bottom turn much resembles as young Larry Bertleman.
She nods when I say relaxed and smooth. Craig returns with more drinks. The stewardess tries on my hat. It's sweaty and makes her unhappy.
The swell was good today. Craig borrowed an alaia and went surfing at a longboarding wave. Last month he got wildcards to the Quiksilver Pro and a six star at Margaret River and he lost them both in the first heat. He does these crazy huge airs, but lots of times he doesn't land. Sometimes when he heals lepers they end up dying. Being a freesurfer isn't as easy as it sounds. Craig is traveling solo. Creating his own projects. His sponsors don't tell him what to do. He's not even wearing a Quiksilver logo. When he stands sideways — even just here in the bar — he looks cool doing it.
One drink earlier, I told the stewardess that being a freesurfer isn't as easy as it sounds. The stewardess nods. She says she lost her stewardessing job recently, so she's not even really a stewardess anymore. She's not really anything. She doesn't live anywhere. She doesn't do anything. I nod as she says this. Stewardessing is probably hard, too.
Later, while he's kissing the ex-stewardess, I tell Craig: "You should just keep traveling and surfing and getting profiled and kissing stewardesses and going to comp after-parties and just never ever ever go home."
He looks back at me like he's bored of kissing the stewardess. "I know," he says. "I totally want to."

The issue is not issues: the issue is the system!
~ Ronnie Dugger, founder, Alliance for Democracy
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump both declared during the 2016 election that the system is rigged. But their ideas of what constitutes rigging are different. We agree with Bernie's concerns about the system, so we are paying attention to election integrity (fraudulent electronic vote counting), gerrymandering, voter suppression, attacks on the Voting Rights Act, Supreme Court decisions that reduce or eliminate limits on campaign contributions/expenditures, "dark money" and the influence of the electoral college. .
A Portland municipal bank could
* Make affordable loans to small businesses, farmers, government entities, and students
* Save taxpayers up to 50% on critical infrastructure like bridges and trains and schools
* Eliminate billions in bank fees and money management fees for cities and states
* Support a vibrant community banking sector
* Enable sustainable prosperity
After negotiating the Trans Pacific Partnership, NAFTA on Steriods, for 7 years in secret, the agreement was finalized (Oct 5, '15). And on Nov 5, '15, the agreement text was made public by the US Trade Representative. Now we kick our opposition into full gear. The TPP is a corporate Supreme Court. The TPP means that jobs will continue to be offshored. The TPP means lower labor wages and standards. The TPP means trying to compete with low wage nations like Vietnam. Click here to learn more.
But now (Nov 2016),
Alliance for Democracy supports universal single payer health care in Oregon and throughout the United States.
We support Healthcare for All Oregon.
In Corvallis and Ashland, voters agreed by approving ballot measures calling to the Oregon legislature to write legislation for universal affordable healhcare for all Oregon residents. In both cases, the vote was 74% in favor.

No Batman role for JGL yet
Mark O'Beirne
28 November, 2012
Rumour extinguished as quickly as it started.
A rumour hit the internet yesterday that
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
would be in line to play Batman in the upcoming
Justice League
movie. However, his reps have come out to rain on that parade and dismissed the rumours. An idea like this was always going to be floated, especially after the ending of The Dark Knight Rises in which he came face to face with the suit after Bruce Wayne's disappearance. But for now, the caped crusader's mask does not protect an actor's face.
The Justice League movie, which represents DC Comics' crack at an Avengers-like movie with a cast of favourite characters such as Superman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman among others, is in line for a summer 2015 release. The majority of the roles are still up for grabs, but there is plenty of time to fill each and every diverse costume.
Those involved in the decision making process have to take it one step at a time. The primary objective at the moment is a successful return to the big screen for Superman who will appear in
Man of Steel
in June 2013. This could act as the introduction for Justice League considering
Henry Cavill
has signed on for three Superman movies and the proximity of the initial release dates. Director Zack Snyder admitted to the New York Post that the release dates could cause issues if Justice League does not recognise the former's existence. He said, "The Man of Steel exists, and Superman is in it. I don't know how you'd move forward without acknowledging that." As a result, we may see a cameo from another DC superhero. With Christopher Nolan's involvement in Man of Steel, many are hoping that Batman will enter the foray at some point.
Rumours regarding the Bat will circulate for some time to come. In a way, it would make sense for Joseph Gordon-Levitt to fill the role considering his discovery at the end of The Dark Knight Rises, the fact that audiences would have warmed to him in that film, and his solid output to date. Who would you like to see as the next man to wear the cowl?

text: SAN FRANCISCO, May 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ: NKTR) announced today new data from an investigator-sponsored Phase 2 study of NKTR-102 (etirinotecan pegol) in patients with Avastin-refractory high-grade glioma conducted at Stanford Cancer Institute under the direction of Lawrence Recht, M.D., Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery, with co-investigator Seema Nagpal, M.D., Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford School of Medicine. "Patients with Avastin-refractory high-grade glioma currently have little to no treatment options to help them manage their disease," said Dr. Recht. "Patients progress rapidly once resistance develops, objective responses are rarely seen. In this study we saw three patients – 15%, all with glioblastoma - with confirmed partial responses on single-agent NKTR-102 according to RANO criteria and an additional eight patients – 40% -- who had stable disease as a best response." The trial enrolled 20 patients with high-grade glioma from August 2012 to May 2013. Patients had a median KPS of 70 and had received a median of three lines of prior therapy, including recurrence following treatment with Avastin. Avastin-refractory was defined as progression by RANO criteria within 60 days of prior Avastin (bevacizumab) treatment. Ninety percent of patients in the trial had glioblastoma. Patients received a median of three cycles (1-22) of NKTR-102 once every three weeks as monotherapy. Six-week progression-free survival in at least 25% of the patients was needed to reject the null hypothesis for the primary endpoint. Study ResultsThe primary endpoint was met and exceeded with fifty-five percent (95% CI: 31%-75%) of patients in the study achieving six-week progression-free survival. Response and disease progression were assessed by RANO criteria in the trial. Three patients, or 15%, achieved partial responses with NKTR-102 monotherapy with maximum percent reductions in tumor area of 86%, 72%, and 59%. An additional eight patients, or 40%, achieved stable disease as best response. Two of the three patients with RANO responses experienced a long duration of response of 14 and 20 months. Secondary endpoints include median progression-free survival (2.2 months), median survival from time of first NKTR-102 infusion (4.5 months) and median overall survival from date of pathologic diagnosis or confirmation of high-grade glioma (17.1 months). NKTR-102 monotherapy was well-tolerated in patients with Avastin-refractory high-grade glioma with low toxicity in spite of being heavily pre-treated and neurologically symptomatic. Only one patient (5%) had Grade 3 toxicity (diarrhea with dehydration) attributable to NKTR-102 as a result of not taking anti-diarrheal medication. Hematologic toxicity was mild. As of May 31, 2014, there is one patient in the study who is continuing on NKTR-102 monotherapy. "Though participants in this trial were heavily pre-treated and more neurologically symptomatic than many clinical trial patients, we observed low toxicity with three partial responses," said Dr. Nagpal. "In addition, two of the three patients with responses experienced a long duration of response of 14 and 20 months, respectively. These results warrant further investigation of NKTR-102 in high-grade glioma, including glioblastoma as single-agent and in combination with bevacizumab, which could theoretically enhance retention of NKTR-102 in the tumor."

Breaking up, the song tells us, is hard to do.
Finding out why the long lost supercontinent of Gondwana, which once included Australia, Africa, South America and Antarctica, broke up millions of years ago is the mission of a German research ship that has been docked at Circular Quay.
The Sonne and its 25 scientists sail this week for a spot east of New Zealand where they will spend almost a month scraping rocks from the Pacific's floor, four kilometres down.
But the research could provide answers to questions far more important than why the dinosaurs found themselves drifting apart from their relatives.
Understanding the forces that split Gondwana could lead to the discovery of massive untapped reserves of oil and gas, Hermann Kudrass, a geologist from Germany's Federal Institute for Geoscience, explained in Sydney yesterday. "Vast resources of hydrocarbons ... oil and gas ... are known to lie along the continental margins," he explained.
Somewhere east of New Zealand, where Gondwana's break-up may have started some 130 million years ago, with New Zealand splitting from Australia, "the last resources of mankind" could be awaiting discovery, said Dr Kudrass.
However, scientists would first have to understand what triggered the continental split.
The Sonne will use a remote-controlled claw to grab rocks from ancient undersea lava plateaus north and south of New Zealand's Chatham Islands.
Dr Kudrass said the plateaus were probably born during a fierce burst of volcanism that erupted 130 million years ago but lasted just one million years: "Huge areas of the sea floor were flooded with lava."
But Dr Kudrass said scientists were not certain whether the upwelling of lava from deep inside the Earth triggered Gondwana's disintegration or was merely a byproduct of the break-up. "We are trying to sample the rocks for chemical analysis. We have to understand the process," he said, adding that the region was "relatively unknown and unexplored".
The Sonne, a former North Atlantic fish-processing factory, was converted into a research ship 20 years ago. Dr Kudrass said the Sonne was the vanguard for a 10-year international ocean drilling research project, including Japan, US, Britain, China and most of Europe, that will begin next year. He hoped to convince Australia to join the effort.

GitHub lands $250 million in funding and is now worth $2 billion
GitHub, the hugely popular and sometimes controversial website for hosting software development, has officially raised its second round of funding. Just like the first it's a whopper: $250 million, which now values the company at $2 billion, GitHub told the Wall Street Journal.
The company confirmed the round to Business Insider, telling us it was led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive Capital, and Institutional Venture Partners.
Day FOUR of the GitHub web assault: Activists point fingers at 'China's global censorship'
With the GitHub distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack nearing its fifth day of bombardment, the code-sharing upstart said it is holding up well under fire.
The site said as of Monday afternoon, Pacific Time, it is still operating at 100 per cent, despite a continuing flow of malicious traffic to its servers. GitHub said the attack "has evolved," but wouldn't provide any further information.
GitHub recovering from massive DDoS attacks
Software development platform GitHub said Sunday it was still experiencing intermittent outages from the largest cyberattack in its history but had halted most of the attack traffic.
Starting on Thursday, GitHub was hit by distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that sent large volumes of Web traffic to the site, particularly towards two Chinese anti-censorship projects hosted there.
Former GitHub CEO leaves the company
Tom Preston-Werner — founder of the immensely popular social coding site GitHub and its most prominent executive — has left the company in the wake of widely publicized sexual harassment investigation.
GitHub, a tech-industry darling whose coding software is used by millions of developers worldwide, launched the investigation last month after one of the company's developers, Julie Ann Horvath, quit the company and claimed it had an oversized tolerance for inappropriate behavior.
GitHub Developer Program emphasizes integrations
GitHub is reaching out to developers with the formation of a program encouraging them to link to the popular code-sharing site.
The GitHub Developer Program offers resources to work with the GitHub API, which includes features like project management, authentication, and the triggering of code-testing when committing code to GitHub. "Really, almost anything you can do on GitHub, we open up an API for it," said Ryan Day, head of business development at the company.

NTFS permissions
This section describes how to set up NTFS permissions on HTTP Commander data files and on user data folders.Note 1! You can view how to set up NTFS permissions at installation screencast (video) (Recommended)!
If you want to check NTFS permissions manually then see information below:
HTTP Commander uses a temporary folder to store temporary files, such as thumbnails, intermediary video files created in video conversion process, zip files for download, and other. The temporary folder configured in the TemporaryFolder parameter and by default is used "%WINDIR%\Temp", or it may be "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp" if the application pool is configured to load the user profile. The user refered here is the application pool identity user. For example, if the application pool is named HttpCommanderPool, the temporary directory may be "C:\Users\HttpCommanderPool\AppData\Local\Temp". Location of the temporary directory depends on the value of TEMP system and user environment variables. To be certain of the location of the temporary folder, refer to the Diagnostics.aspx page in HTTP Commander.
A system-wide temporary folder ("%WINDIR%\Temp") by default provides necessary access to Administrators and System, but not to normal users.
A user-specific folder allows access only to the respective user.
HTTP Commander requires write access to the temporary folder for application pool account and end-user accounts in Windows version. The result is the default access is inappropriate. The simplest solution is to configure Modify NTFS permission for all required users. This choice, however, creates security vulnerability, users may read and overwrite each other's files. NTFS permissions allow that. A more secure solution is to configure NTFS permissions as follows. Assign Full Control to CREATOR OWNER pseudo-user.
Assign Create files, Create folders, Traverse folder permission to the target users. Apply the last permission to "This folder only". Target users will be able to create files and folders in the temporary directory, but they have access to only their files and folders. Access to others files and folders will
be denied. Assigning Full control to CREATOR OWNER guaranties that users have full control to their files.

Note 1. Why grant access to anonymous user?
Applies to AuthMode Forms, Forms with Windows users, Novell EDirectory.
Normally the web application accesses the file system under the application pool identity, but sometimes the anonymous user is impersonated. Note that ASP.NET Impersonation is disabled in IIS.
You may find out that the web application works without problems even when you have not assigned explicit permissions to an anonymous user account. The typical cause of this issue is that the anonymous user gains access to the file system via permissions assigned to Users group. Another explanation may be the fact that anonymous user matches the application pool identity to which you have assigned Read permissions already.
Web application accesses file system under application pool identity as well as with impersonated anonymous user.
Why write access is not needed for anonymous user?
The application does not explicitly impersonate the anonymous user to perform its tasks. All work is done under the application pool identity. As for read access to the application's root directory, it is IIS that impersonates the anonymous user to verify access to specific objects.
Note 2. By default, the Data folder is located in the HTCOMNET root folder, but you can move it outside the web server (See DataFolderPath key in the Application settings)!
Note 3.
If you have an existing folder structure for domain users with set permissions,
you don't need to modify existing permissions.
The application impersonates the end-user when processing a user request.
NTFS file system permissions determines the level of access the end-user
gets to the file system through HTTP Commander.
If you want to create a new structure of folders, you need to apply the necessary NTFS permissions on the folders for the domain users.
Note 4. This applies if you enabled EnableTrash parameter.

OK, you are going to get all kinds of opinions. I am not brand loyal. I have Smith and Wesson, Ruger and Taurus. They all work good and I like all of them. The Taurus PT709 is my latest acquisition. Great carry gun and shoots good. These days, I think you have a good chance to get a good working gun from Taurus. Get what you like and screw public opinion.
Just my opinion.. not like it is the truth-:)

With Caveats, Cuomo Veers to the Center
It's official: as he enters his re-election year, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is a centrist politician. In his fourth annual State of the State address, Cuomo focused on cutting taxes and balancing budgets, touching only lightly on some of the powerful progressive issues that powered his speech last year: gun control, women's equality, and abortion rights.
The sharp right turn is all the more stark given the election by an overwhelming margin of progressive Bill de Blasio as New York mayor, on a campaign that explicitly pushed raising taxes to fight inequality.
For good measure, Cuomo named former New York City police commissioner Ray Kelly a special advisor to a new school for homeland security and emergency preparedness. Kelly was widely lambasted by de Blasio and his supporters for his aggressive stop and frisk policy, which was seen as racial profiling. De Blasio, in Albany for the speech, shrugged that off, saying he respected Kelly's working fighting terrorism.
During the speech, Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing tweeted, "creating jobs and supporting businesses isn't conservative. FDR pioneered economic development as governor and president."
To be sure, Cuomo did exhort both houses of the legislature, whom he addressed Wednesday in the ornate capital chambers, to pass the women's equality bill, support medical marijuana use, keep juvenile suspects out of adult courts and support universal pre-kindergarten.
"It's time for New York State to have universal pre-K statewide," Cuomo said to warm applause. But he did not propose how to fund the program.
Cuomo did propose other specifics related to education, which he called "the best long-term economic development strategy." Teachers who get the highest rating in the state's new evaluation system will be eligible for bonuses of up to $20,000 a year through a Teacher Excellence Fund. Cuomo said this would incentivize performance and help "pay them like the professionals they are."
In 2013, Cuomo pushed through a strict gun-control measure even before the session began. But the backlash was fierce, particularly upstate, and Cuomo's approval rating sunk to its lowest ever. Other measures he raised in his State of the State last year, like the Women's Equality Act and reducing penalties for marijuana arrests, went nowhere.
It was more than an hour into his speech before Cuomo hit the kind of emotional high he's known for — when pushing for ethics reform in Albany. In the past year Cuomo has set up a Moreland Commission to investigate ethics. "Some suggest the Moreland Commission suggests I don't believe in the legislature," Cuomo said, his voice quavering. "It's the opposite.Government is limited by the lack of trust. The more trust, the more capacity. We have accomplished great things! I want to see us do even more together!"
His speech wound up by condemning the sort of discrimination that took place in Pine Bush, with the knowledge of school officials. "We are part of one community, and that's what makes us great!" Cuomo declared. "E pluribus unum!"

Macala Wright: 6 Technologies In Every Marketer's Toolkit
As consumer behavior becomes more complex, we need tech, tools and platforms that meet increasing customer expectations.
As marketers, we're always looking for great tools to achieve success in our clients' work and our own companies. Over the past year, I've made it a goal to track and experiment with different platforms, softwares and services in the hope of discovering cost effective tools that actually move the needle in positive ways and provide the data to support it. Here six technologies making marketing success more achievable.
Consumers are extremely social, and because of that a brand's digital channels should be as well. One of the biggest challenges for most marketers is social branding within the constructs of the networks and channels they're active on. Social branding must be thoughtful, differentiated, controlled and effective – and Bumebox has the social infrastructure for that.
Bumebox allows brands to socialize their web properties by combining content and conversation without disrupting existing technological infrastructure. Their platform allows for branded, real-time social media integrations focusing on social campaign, influencer/celebrity Q & A, and live event experiences. The platform has proven that content engagement can be interlaced with commerce if constructed correctly. During Marc Jacobs' February 2012 show, by leveraging Bumebox, The night of the collection show, the #marcjacobslive tag had more than 90 million impressions on Twitter.
What's more, by adding real-time interactions and shares from fan commentary, the recent Marc Jacobs show trended to the number eight most talked about topic on Twitter worldwide during New York Fashion Week. Consumers were so excited to see the Alice In Wonderland type images in the show that it resulted in a 20% click through rate to Marc Jacobs' ecommerce site. When working on a project for ALDO Shoes, they saw similar results with 3,000 e-commerce transactions via the brand's 40th Anniversary microsite over a 40-day period in October 2012.
Mulu is reinventing the online ad for the curation generation, making editorial content shoppable in real-time using sponsored keyword equivalencies. In April, they launched their "Shop this Page" feature across online content, most notably publications such as Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, Good Housekeeping, Redbook, Country Living and sites such as The Nest and Martha Stewart, among others.
Mulu's patented technology transforms online ads from something readers ignore into an indispensable shopping utility that saves time and enhances the content experience. In the 20 weeks live on Hearst publications, the ads have seen a 2 – 12% click through rate. Mulu works on any type of content— from recipes to extreme sports to news, on any platform, including mobile, and in any unicode character set, allowing publishers to move from cumbersome affiliate relationships to a turnkey, CPC-based commerce solution.
Mulu has built in a social good aspect that is core to their brand, giving publishers the option to donate any portion of resulting sales to the cause of their choice—a donation Mulu then matches and facilitates. Later this year, the company will release a "Save for Later" feature, allowing shoppers to save products from any piece of content to a web-wide cart and return to purchase later or share as a wish list—all in support of a charity of their own choosing.
Medium is a return to the written word and longer form content – something that in today's digital age is quickly disappearing with our need for highly visual, short form content we can consume and forget and that marketers love to create for page views and quick hits.
With Medium, content is broken into collections – which are defined by a theme – so it's easy for readers to discover and easy for writers to gain an audience. From there, users can recommend and share content and offer feedback, and writers can create collections, decide who is invited or open it to everyone. Authors can even collaboratively create editorial pieces with those they wish to contribute to an article.
While it's not a consumer marketing tool, Medium offer marketers a place to find OP-ED pieces written by those doing actionable work in their fields of expertise. With articles published based on fad trends to drive page views and ad revenue, it's good to have a media outlet that, for now, isn't publishing content based on traditional media models. Medium is currently in closed beta but will eventually be allowed for all Twitter users.
As influencer marketers move beyond bogger networks and directly target influencers to create blog content at scale on behalf of clients, there's a new tool in for them to use – TapInfluence. TapInfluence automates the manual and time-consuming process of managing influencer marketing programs. By automating the identification, management and engagement of key influencers, brands can scale their online reach and engage with consumers in an authentic and meaningful way. Using their cloud-based software, the platform enables them to identify the right influencers, activate programs, and demonstrate results with analytics dashboards. It's cost effective, averaging about $1,500 – $3,000 USD per campaign.
A recent addition to my marketing radar, ClearStory Data is a promising new technology in the big data trend. Organizations striving to make smart, data-driven decisions face obstacles everywhere as they are held back by the overwhelming complexity of today's internal and external sources of data. The tools available today require deep technical expertise on the part of the user, or are overly simplistic dashboards based on rigid data models. Holding out in the hope of finding more data scientist talent is not a reasonable option.
"In 2011, the global output of data increased 62%, yet there's a massive shortage in the number of qualified data professionals to process this data," says Sharmila Shahani-Mulligan, CEO and a founder of ClearStory Data. With over 8,000 APIs available, only 3% of the data is tagged and half a percent is analyzed. ClearStory has the desire to bring together data in private and public APIs in a convergence site.
ClearStory's solution modernizes data analysis by delivering a new user model for business users to easily discover, analyze and consume data at scale from corporate, web and premium data sources for combined and up-to-date insights. It includes harmonizing relationships between disparate sources, low-latency data processing at scale, and deriving data from an ecosystem of big data repositories, including Hadoop, relational databases, data warehouses and external sources. In short, they're making it possible for business users to experience the power of interactive, scalable, and immediate multi-source insights. Something that all brands and marketers are hoping to harness at the moment.
Thismoment, the global leader in brand solutions for YouTube, recently announced broad adoption of YouTube's responsive One Channel format. One Channel better serves today's mobile, multi-screen audience by optimizing the viewer experience for every device through its responsive design—which fluidly scales based on the size of the browser window—and promoting channel subscription visibility and access.
Over the past three years, ThisMoment's system has powered more than 300 YouTube brand channels, an order of magnitude more than any other provider. Driven by the demands of its customers for differentiation and creative freedom within the YouTube environment, ThisMoment has continually delivered first-to-market capabilities including:
The ability to extend YouTube brand channels – including user-generated video contests – to other online environments, including Facebook, mobile and the Web
The use of mixed media (photos, text, flash) within YouTube, both for brand and user-generated content.
The deployment of global channels that combine universal brand elements with localized content, all on a single YouTube URL.
The ability to curate and display an interactive, consolidated social conversation stream— incorporating YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ within a YouTube brand channel.
John Bara, CMO of ThisMoment, shared "The ultimate objective of savvy social marketers is to reach and engage the audience anytime including on mobile devices. Marketers need a social marketing system which can help them and their agencies share, reuse and distribute content across all social endpoints and devices." As marketers move to video as marketing medium, ThisMoment has the most definitive platform to drive engagement with video content.
As we become more accountable to our consumers and fan bases, we need to employ tools that allow us to design environments and experiences that they find inviting to participate in. Coupled with data and analytical insights to our progress and successes, we're well on our way to create long lasts relationships with those we need in order to remain relevant in the 21st century.

Snopes in the Tank, Again
Snopes "debunks" the "myth" that any Fannie Mae advisers had anything to do with Barack Obama campaign had an/Freddie "myth." Must be seen to be disbelieved. Coming next:
CLAIM: Barrack Obama attended Trinity Lutheran Church for 25 years, during which it's preacher, Hezekiah Cartwright, reportedly screamed "God damn the USA" and accused the federal government of inventing polio.
STATUS: False.
During election seasons, emotions run high and people are understandably eager to believe and forward emails that would ordinarily make them more skeptical…
[Four more pages of irrelevant smarm.]
This particular email is wrong on every count. The Army has barracks, but no one named "Barrack" is running for office, nor have we been enable to locate any church in Chicago called "Trinity Lutheran" or any preacher named Hezekiah. Mr. Obama has not been a member of any church for more than 20 years. "God damn the USA" appears to be cynical take-off on a popular song by Lee Greenwood called "God Bless the USA," whose message is pro-American, not anti-American as the email suggests.

An often overlooked issue in today's schools is the dire state of boys' education. Research shows that institutions are failing to engage male students, and the outcome couldn't be any clearer. Across all age, ethnicity, and economic demographics in the US, boys consistently account for the overwhelming majority of disciplinary referrals, failing grades, and ADHD diagnoses. While boys are as capable of learning classroom material as well as girls are, they are often not given the support they need to learn effectively. Fortunately, studies have also pointed us toward the environments that boys learn in best. The following white paper describes some key features of a boy-friendly learning environment.

What is in this article?:
- Optimizing Sourcing, Matching to Speed Casting Procurement
- Traditional Bid Matching
- Government Procurement
- Maximizing Value and Longevity
- Unique Search/Sort
- Tooling database catalogs defense-related patterns;
- Casting supplier database of foundries manufacturing defense parts
- Solicitation review process for government procurements for cast components
Metalcasters understand that their products are important to the success of businesses and the quality of life of consumers, but one industry where castings' contribution is especially critical is defense manufacturing.
Castings are vital to our national defense and integral to systems production and spare parts support for virtually all of the 2,250 weapon systems in service today for U.S. soldiers. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) — the U.S. Department of Defense's largest combat support agency — purchases more than 84% of the military's spare parts. It supplies almost every consumable item America's military services need to operate. DLA manages 5.2 million different items, issues over 9,000 contracts per day, and had FY12 sales in excess of $44 billion. This translates to significant business opportunities for foundries, via direct business with DLA or to a tier 1 supplier.
There are very few foundries that supply the government directly because a casting is typically just the foundation of a finished part that is being procured. Most foundries manufacturing castings for defense applications do so as sub-tier suppliers, and secure the business through an existing customer or the occasional request for quote from a prospective customer.
More ambitious foundries may seek out government business opportunities on their own through various government websites and commercial bid matching services, often with limited success.

What Happens When A Fox News Reporter Attends A Gay Pride Parade?
On Saturday, Brooklyn hosted its 15th Annual Brooklyn Pride Night Parade [1]. Fox News Radio reporter and anti-gay mouthpiece [2] Todd Starnes was in attendance and reacted pretty much exactly how anyone familiar with Starnes would expect – by using Twitter [3] to mock the parade's attendees:
Starnes also took to his Facebook page [4] to complain about the event, writing:
Starnes' comments – which sound a lot like the kind of thing you'd hear from a homophobic teenager – weren't the only anti-gay remarks he made over the weekend.
On Sunday, he tweeted [5] "The nation's public schools employ militant gays, leftists and anti-Americans to teach your kids," linking to an article [6] that had nothing to do with homosexuality:
Though Starnes presents himself as a serious Fox News journalist, these kinds of tweets reveal the kind of anti-LGBT [7] animus [8] that motivates his focus on so-called "culture war stories [2]."

What is Nutra Tosterone?
A perfectly shaped body with big muscles and having a wonderful sexual life is something that almost all men crave for. Unfortunately, for those who have a habit of eating more are not able to achieve this feat because they are excessively fat and do not have the stamina to go for workout sessions. So, what would they do in order to get the body they quite often imagine? The answer to that would be Nutra Tosterone. It is one health supplement that you can completely trust on. It is a mixture of pure quality and positive results. There may be questions about the working of the supplement and whether it is good for the health or not. But, to be honest there are proven results that it has helped the body-builders to pump up their muscles in quick time.
What is the product made for?
Nutra Tosterone is a unique supplement with all the essential elements to have lean and strong muscles. This supplement uses a twofold buster formula that not only makes the muscles strong, but improves your sexual drive as well. Each and every serving of Nutra Tosterone has powerful levels of supplement mix that contains crucial vitamins, minerals, testofen and other important elements that fortify the bloodstream and also increase your moxie. The product has been formulated under strict supervision of highly experienced doctors. This is a power booster that would make your body muscles stronger and improve your sexual drive. Most importantly, it will burn away all the excessive fat that makes you flabby and unfit.
What are the ingredients used in Nutra Tosterone?
Each and every ingredient that has been used while formulating this highly effective supplement is completely natural and organic. There are no harmful chemicals or artificial elements that can cause negative effects after consuming the supplement. Moreover, the product is processed at GMP certified labs. So, there is no question of not producing the promised results. Eminent doctors have put together this formula, and so far it has been a great success. Here are some of the ingredients that have been used in making this supplement:
- Testofen– This ingredient is present in great quantities in Nutra Tosterone. It has clinically been proven and demonstrated that the base part of natural fenugreek seed extract is very helpful in expanding the muscles of men. In addition to this, it is also responsible for stopping the decaying of testosterone and in turn enhancing the testosterone levels in the body.
- L-Arginine HCL– This is also a key ingredient and is a natural amino corrosive that mainly causes vasodilation. It is an important substance that helps in the smooth flow of blood and oxygen in the body. This method is essential for speeding up the process of muscle recuperation and repair, treatment of erectile dysfunction, sperm generation and upgrade of muscles.
- Tribulus Terrestris Extract– This ingredient has often been used by people living in Asia for many years. It is a naturally occurring herb concentrating on fortifying the blood stream, builds the general well-being, heightens your sexual drive and boosts the circulatory framework by supplying vital supplements and pumping oxygen into the muscles.
- Rhodiola Crenulata– Various studies have shown that this plant has been successful in diminishing the cortisol levels in the body and this in turn manages the stress to a great degree.

Actually, the phone we had in mind is the Samsung GALAXY Note. With its 5.3 inch screen, the combination phone/tablet expanded the "phablet" category and surprisingly joined with the Samsung Galaxy S III as a potent 1-2 punch for the Korean manufacturer. No one was sure how phone buyers would respond to a phone with such a large screen being produced by a mainstream handset manufacturer. The demand for the device was so strong that Samsung quickly put together a sequel, the Samsung GALAXY Note II with a slightly larger 5.5 inch screen.
According to the head of Samsung's mobile unit, J.K. Shin, in 2012 the Samsung GALAXY Note II will sell 20 million units to double the amount sold by its predecessor, which had been launched last November. Rumors in South Korea were that Samsung would push up the launch of the device in order to beat the Apple iPhone 5 to market in South Korea. Shin shot that rumor down, confirming that the Samsung GALAXY Note II will be launched in October. Samsung introduced the model during the Samsung Unpacked event just prior to IFA 2012 in Berlin last month.

UPDATE: In a longer excerpt of Shin's comments, the executive tells Yonhap News that Samsung is looking for 30 million units in sales for the Samsung Galaxy S III. That would be quite a feat. The Samsung Galaxy S II sold "only" 20 million units.

Brave little Leah wants a white bike for Christmas
Three-year-old Gozitan girl has lower temperature and is walking again
Although still a bit tired and does not yet feel like playing, Leah Xuereb had told her mother she wants a white bike for Christmas.
The little girl who has touched the hearts of all Maltese and Gozitans is finally out of intensive care after having major cancer surgery in the US.
On Monday the three-year-old Gozitan girl was fighting fever and an infection. But yesterday her parents were overjoyed when her body temperature went down and her doctors said they were pleased with test results.
"Everything is on the right track. Her fever is down, her face is flushed, she is walking again and she may start eating again today," her excited father Jonathan Xuereb told The Times.
On November 12, Leah had a last-resort operation in a specialised hospital in Texas to remove a very rare form of stomach cancer, after previous treatment in London failed.
Although her surgeons were confident they had removed the entire tumour, last week her body temperature started fluctuating and the little girl was in "unbearable pain".
The pain persisted despite painkillers and the doctors had to remove some bacteria from her abdomen, her father said.
She spent the next five days sleeping, after her parents were told she was suffering from another type of infection.
As the days passed, Mr and Ms Xuereb felt as if they were drifting, hoping Leah would show signs of recovery. On Wednesday, their prayers were heard.
"We will fight till the very last second. We're so happy... and we're so grateful for everyone's support throughout the ordeal," 37-year-old Mr Xuereb said yesterday.
Since the story first featured in The Times, people have offered financial and moral support to the family. Mr Xuereb, himself a devotee of St Anthony, has pledged a golden choker that his mother gave him when he was seven if Leah returns home healthy.
Others have visited the family at the Texas hospital after their relatives, who live in Malta, alerted them to the story.
Leah will soon turn four and has spent half her life in hospitals.
Before having her €245,000 operation at the specialised Anderson Cancer Centre, which was sponsored by the Maltese Government, she spent 16 months at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London being diagnosed and treated.
She will now spend six more days in hospital, Mr Xuereb said. After being discharged, the family will hang around for a couple of weeks under the watchful eyes of the doctors.

Types of Meningiomas
Meningiomas are a common type of brain tumor that develops slowly in the meninges, or the area that covers and protects the brain and spinal cord. Most meningiomas are benign and can vary greatly in size and location.
Joshua Bederson, MD, Chairman of Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai and his team are skilled at recognizing and treating various types of meningiomas. They oversee more than 500 benign brain tumor patients a year.
Explore Common Types of Meningiomas
The Mount Sinai Meningioma Program treats many types of meningiomas, including:
Convexity Meningioma
Convexity meningiomas grow toward the front of the brain, on its surface. This is a common type of meningioma, with almost 20 percent falling into this category. These types of meningiomas often do not present symptoms until the tumor becomes large. If symptoms are present, the patient may experience seizures and headaches, as well as neurological impairment. Learn more about convexity meningiomas
Falcine and Parasagittal Meningioma
These types of meningiomas grow between the two sides of the brain, where numerous large blood vessels live. This type of meningioma can interfere with blood circulation in the brain, if the meningioma is sitting on surrounding blood vessels.
Intraventricular Meningioma
Intraventricular meningiomas grow within the ventricles of the brain, which carry cerebrospinal fluid throughout. A tumor in this area can block the flow of the fluid and can produce headaches and dizziness.
Types of Skull Base Meningiomas
Skull base meningiomas grow within the bones of the skull, in the sinus and around the eyes. Skull base meningiomas are more difficult to remove surgically because of their anatomic location. Skull base meningiomas also include:
Cavernous Sinus Meningiomas
Cavernous sinus meningiomas are rare tumors that affect the cavernous sinus, an area that controls eye movement and allows your face to feel sensations. Cavernous sinus meningiomas can cause double vision, dizziness and facial pain.
Clival Meningioma
Clival meningiomas are located on the underside of the cerebrum within the posterior cranial fossa. These types of meningiomas often grow as part of a larger lesion within the sphenoid bone. Learn more about clival meningiomas
Foramen Magnum Meningioma
Foramen magnum meningiomas originate primarily within the foramen magnum, which is the opening through which the spinal cord passes from the brain. Learn more about foramen magnum meningiomas
Olfactory Groove Meningioma
Olfactory meningiomas grow near the olfactory nerve, located between the brain and the nose. An olfactory meningioma can cause a loss of smell, and if the tumor becomes very large, it can affect the optic nerves, resulting in visual impairment. Learn more about olfactory groove meningiomas
Posterior Fossa / Petrous Meningioma
Posterior fossa / petrous meningiomas are located on the underside of the brain. These types of meningiomas can cause facial pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia, and can produce spasms in the face. Learn more about posterior fossa meningiomas
Sphenoid Wing Meningioma
Sphenoid wing meningiomas form on the sphenoid ridge behind the eyes. These types of meningiomas can cause visual impairment and facial numbness. In severe cases, they can cause blindness.
Spinal Meningioma
Spinal meningiomas are less common and typically occur in middle-aged women. The tumors press against the spinal cord in the thoracic region of the chest and can cause back pain, numbness and tingling due to the pressure surrounding the mass.
Suprasellar Meningioma
Suprasellar meningiomas develop in an area near the pituitary gland and optic nerve at the base of the skull. These types of meningiomas are slow growing and can cause severe visual impairment in one or both of the eyes. Learn more about suprasellar meningiomas
Tentorial Meningioma
Tentorial meningiomas are rare tumors that are located under the surface of the tentorium cerebella in the brain. These types of posterior fossa meningiomas can cause headaches, seizures and make it difficult to walk.
