I like your argument. I am an advocate of social media, but am wary that often people just latch onto the latest shiny thing without actually achieving a real benefit. The ICT world is rife with stories of money wasted on ICT systems and shiny products because they were never integrated into the real need of the person/ business/ community or system.
Defining social tools as tools that support collaboration and communication that in turn support all sorts of things such as business processes and decision making is the way to go. Otherwise, like Amtrak who tied themselves to Trains instead of the superset of Transport those who support social media in isolation with be extinct within a decade like those who espoused EDRM, video conferencing, and e-business. They are all still here clearly, but are no longer shiny or even news worthy. Bit like Volvo losing its compettive differentiator of being safe in a world where everyone was safe enough.
Best i read the other comments now. :-)

Excellent post. Recently I found one such tool www.oogwave.com which seems to be very simple. I havent used it much but it works fine for me.

People are evolving in their social media use and embedding it in their lives in an increasing number of ways. The cultural impact of this is profound, and by seamlessly integrating social media tools within a product, users can collaborate in ways that come naturally to them. With over 657 million people on Facebook, there's no denying that the social construct of "meeting" is shifting; in order for people to feel connected, the meeting experience should be fun, simple, and social. When we do that, those are often the meetings where we do our best work and have a great time doing it. PGi (www.pgi.com) offers a video conferencing product called iMeet (www.imeet.com) that offers participants the ability to collaborate multi-dimensionally, integrating social media components as they choose as well as file sharing, chat, and its core video conferencing features. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr are all available to meeting participants and create a meaningful, social meeting experience that naturally fosters collaboration within the product.

Excellent post, Michael. You make Mr. Tolkien proud! :)
To answer your question regarding which tools are effective to promote social collaboration, I use and would recommend FeatureSet (http://www.featureset.com). It's core applications include customer feedback, requirements and project management tools. Social collaboration tools like discussions, blog, email and chat help to connect all stakeholders to the product development process. Really awesome software for businesses who are "thinking social" and looking to get everyone on the same page.

Luv the Tolkien reference...although I question whether he would've ok'd your use of LOTR in such a technical way. I already see the value in being truly interconenct through all these new channels using OCS in our corporate environment. I wonder though how that translates into the personal world as some times...you just want to tune in and tune out With the way "presence" works and apps having you sign off on allowing access how would you disappear in this world. Will you be able to check out??

Love the LOTR's analogy! I think for most, it comes down to what works for them. I run Social Media for Business workshops and speak all over the place to large and small businesses about social media. When it comes to tools of the trade so to speak, I point them in the direction of Hootsuite, CoTweet and Tweetdeck. I give pro's and cons for all three and suggest that they try them all out and decide what will work best for them. I am a Tweetdeck geek. I have it on my iPhone and on my computer. I also use things like Foursquare to comment and post to Facebook and Twitter. I find that people need to understand so much more about social media and the power that it holds for the growth of any business - together with the impact on bottom line figures. Great post!

One tool to manage it all is an interesting idea. Several vendors are moving in that direction, however, as you can imagine this is not a small or inexpensive task.
For marketers, we have found that there are certain classes of synchronous and asynchronous social communication tools (as listed above) which are best for building business relationships and for yielding new sales leads and tangible business results. You can see more about what we are doing at http://socializeyourstuff.com to provide enterprise level social network marketing services that seek a true ROI on your efforts.

Thanks for the nice overview, but I miss one of the biggest enterprise social software in the market: IBM Connections. One of the big three in the Gartner MQ and the biggest IDC. It offers micro logging, activity stream, wiki, blog, ideation blog, activities, profiles etc. Together with sametime, with web meetings, video conferencing, it delivers one seamless integrated ( in Lotus Notes, ECM systems, Microsoft Office, Sharepoint and Outlook, an integrated social collaboration platform integrated in the context of the applications of the enduser. And of course device independent; client, browser,mobile device. And this functionality can also be delivered in the cloud via a subscription of LotusLive. And as you mentioned "How to manage (and integrate) all these tool, that question is for my customer the argument to choose for an enterprise social software suite, where the end user can access the social interaction from one place. If you want to see for yourself try http://greenhouse.lotus.com and give it a go.

Florida coach Urban Meyer said he immediately started making phone calls when he heard about Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio's health problems.
"I know him, I know him very well,'' Meyer said during his press conference Monday. "He's a great family man. You just want everyone to take care of themselves.'' Meyer said everyone should be concerned with their health, not just coaches. "I just happen to think it's a high profile position and where you are you get a lot of attention,'' Meyer said.
Meyer understands as well as anyone how stressful coaching can be. He went to the hospital after the Gators' loss to Alabama last December because of chest pains, announced he was leaving the program before the Sugar Bowl then changed his mind the next day.
Meyer's heart fears turned out to be an esophagus issue. But he's started taking more breaks away from the game and each day reserves some time to take care of his health.
The Gators are 3-0 and will face Kentucky this week. Wildcats coach Joker Phillips has been cautious to protect his own health, even though he became a head coach for the first time this season.
"I haven't changed my routine,'' he said. "I still work out every day. I still get the same amount of sleep. I just think that, this game is important to me there's no question about that. But my family and my personal health is more important. Am I competitor and do I want to win? Yes, no question about that. But I try not to let this game rule my life also.''

Just heard about this contest and am excited to get in under the wire. The museum's interest in reaching and involving a younger audience is a really big deal. I participated in a confab representing 20s and 30s -- and their openness to our ideas and viewpoints was awesome. We held a huge street party this summer that was amazing. Hundreds came, we made art, danced, an amazing NY artist joined us, the music could have gone on all night. Thank you OJM.
As a Portland area Jewish professional I often am in need of Jewish historical "stuff" - stories, facts, pictures, etc to keep my materials alive. OJM always has what I need, no muss, no fuss.
I love how the Oregon Jewish Museum isn't just about Portland but now brings exhibits on the road to other parts of Oregon. I just saw the Sholem Aleichem exhibit here in Eugene and it made me think about how lucky we are that the people at the Oregon Jewish Museum are thinking outside the box. Sometimes we feel isolated here and they are helping us overcome that.
I have served on the Board of Directors for 10yr I have worked on the Archives for 8 years. I have chaired two exhibits I have worked on fund raising
We feel fortunate to live in a community (Portland, Oregon)where over twenty years ago a group of far sighted and persevering individuals felt the need and founded the Oregon Jewish Museum,the only Jewish museum in the Northwest.The exhibitshave been most educational,relating from various aspects the history of the Jewish community of Portland and Oregon. The Museum is ably led by our executive director, Judith Margleswho is responsable for the great approbation that the museum receivesthough in cramped quarters.We now look forward even greater achievments with our soon to be dedicated new space which will accommodate more exhibits and our archives. We have something to cheer about! Toinette and Victor Menashe
When I brought my 6th grade class to the museum's "Yes We Can" exhibit this past winter I was amazed at how much they learned about the history of discrimination and the status of minorities in Oregon. The Oregon Jewish Museum did an expert job in making this available to the public and with the teaching their staff provided to us. Thank you OJM.
My experience began many years ago with a position on the board. I spend a couple of hours, once a week, archiving the material of Portland Section National Council of Jewish Women & The Historic Neighborhood House. I'm part of a team of 4 who have been working on this project for 5 years under the expert eye of Anne Prahl, the curator. I am also an interviewer for the Oregon Oral History Project at the museum. I am so impressed with the staff, interns and volunteers at the museum for their tireless work in a setting that is anything but luxurious. I feel the museum is important for our state. Our Jewish population is small and our history is being well perserved by very capable, caring people.
Here's what I love about the Oregon Jewish Museum: it is truly open to all, Jews and non-Jews alike! As someone who is married to a Non-Jew, and one who has a Jewish cultural (but not spiritual) identity, my spouse and I both feel comfortable and fully welcomed at the Museum! We've taken advantage of the Museum's varied offerings by attending stellar exhibits, compelling book discussions, scholarly lectures, astounding theatre productions, and moving musical events. The Oregon Jewish Museum reaches out to the entire community with a message of diversity, tolerance, and acceptance. We love it!
My friend shlepped me to OJM to see the "48 Jews" exhibit by Jac Lahav and I was awestruck to see how they put on a show of the quality I have experienced in New York or LA major museum. I am looking forward to going back.
The museum hosted an awesome street fair this summer which my friend invited me to. We ate donuts, did free art projects, and danced to 3 live bands. Hundreds of people filled up the street and created an energy I've never seen before in Old Town. I hope they do another event like this next summer! So much fun!!

Thrufters & Throughstones: La Bergére
| Download MP3
To celebrate Lake Champlain's Quadricentennial, the Vermont music collective Big Heavy World, the Vermont Folklife Center, and the Vermont Historical Society have produced a two-CD set that chronicles our region's musical history.
The compilation is called Thrufters and Throughstones, named for the special stones that help anchor the rocks in New England stone walls. The name is meant to symbolize the continuity of music in Vermont.
This week, Vermont Edition is exploring some of the music included in the collection.
Today we hear La Bergére, by Michéle Choiniére
It's from the CD 'Coeur Fragile." Traditional, arrangement by Michéle Choiniére. Recorded and mixed by Lane Gibson at Charles Eller Studios, Charlotte, VT. Produced by Bill Garrett. Mastered by Lane Gibson at Charles Eller Studios, Charlotte, VT. Michéle Choiniére, vocals; Gaston Bernard, feet; Benoit Bourque, bones; Simon Lepage, bass; Brian Barlow, rek; Eric Beaudry, vocals.
"La Bergére" (The Shepherdess) is an arrangement of the traditional French folk song, "Il etait une bergere," made popular around 1765. The song arrived in Vermont in the early 1900s when many Quebec natives came to the mills to work. Choiniére first learned it while cooking with her mother, who learned many songs from her aunts and uncles of the De Repentigny and Riendeau families of St. Remi, Quebec. The girl, who is the subject of the song, is making cheese from milk. A cat comes along and wants to drink the milk, but the girl tells it, "if you put your paw in that milk, I'm going to give you a tap." Instead, the cat puts its chin in the milk, and out of anger, the girl kills the cat. The song is arranged in a minor key to better express the meaning of the song, and to appeal to a modern audience.

I really wonder how Eric Cantor learned about this before any body else including the Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and the President of the United States.
Why did the people that knew about it take it to the Republican Congressman of Virginia and not the Secretary of Defense?
It just doesn't make any sense.

A funny thing about Apollo 18. Every time we tried to see it in the theatre, something happened to prevent us from going. Attempt 1: On vacation. Attempt 2: Not feeling well. Attempt 3: Massive West Coast blackout. Okay already. We get the hint! Well, at least we'll be able to catch it on Blu-ray and DVD.
From the Press Release
Anchor Bay Entertainment and Dimension Films announced today the Blu-ray™ and DVD release of the "terrifying" (Fred Topel, CraveOnline.com) and "chilling" (Hunter Daniels, Collider.com) sci-fi thriller, APOLLO 18. In the same vein as such blockbusters as The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, the film unearths alleged lost Department of Defense footage to construct a riveting story of the events that unfolded during this covert mission to the moon. Full of tension and suspense, APOLLO 18 blasts into stores on December 27, 2011 with an SRP of $39.99 for the Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and $29.98 for the DVD.
The APOLLO 18 Blu-ray™ and DVD bonus features include an audio commentary with director Gonzalo López-Gallego and editor Patrick Lussier, deleted and alternate scenes, alternate endings, among other bonus features to be confirmed. Note: Special features are subject to change.
Officially, Apollo 17 — launched December 17th, 1972 — was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage that the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.

Myron Leon Wallace was born in Brookline, Mass., in 1918, a year after John F. Kennedy was born five doors away.
Relections are frequent; one selectman in Brookline, Massachusetts, served nearly forty years.
A fortnight has passed since I left Brookline, without my being able to get at my work.
Billy found her dirt to dig in, and her furnace to shake, in Brookline.
Yes, Peter, this Brookline is a little cleaner than Broadway.
Julia met them in the hall of the beautiful Brookline residence.
"Good-day," said the Brookline gentleman, quietly pocketing his money.
Wednesday afternoon came, and Cynthia did not go to Brookline.
But also I do not think that any one else could do what he did at Brookline on that occasion.
The temperature during the night of November 20, at Brookline, fell to thirty degrees below zero.

Amy Lee: For the Foreseeable Future, I Don't Have Any Plans To Do Anything With Evanescence
What's new mom Amy Lee's future with Evanescence? The songstress has given fans an update via an interview.
What's new mom Amy Lee's future with Evanescence? The songstress has given fans an update via an interview.
A big congratulations to Evanescence singer Amy Lee, who gave birth to a baby boy on Monday (July 28).
In the very beginning of 2014, news broke that Evanescence singer Amy Lee was suing Wind-up Records for $1.5 million in unpaid royalties, along with other allegations. However, it seems like part of Lee's struggle with Wind-up has come to an end, as the rock vixen just announced that she is finally a "free and independent artist."
Now that's a great way to start the new year!
Evanscence have been on an extended break, and recent news broke that frontwoman Amy Lee is suing her longtime record label for more than $1 million. But that doesn't mean Lee is not making any new music these days. The singer tells MTV that she's currently working on a film score for an upcoming movie.
Evanescence singer Amy Lee is reportedly suing Wind-Up Records for more than $1 million over unpaid royalties and other allegations, according to TMZ. Lee apparently claims that Wind-Up attempted to sabotage Evanescence by appointing the band under-qualified promoters who lacked useful ideas.
Evanescence's Amy Lee was awarded the Best Vocalist honor at the 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Having just belted out 'Made of Stone' and other tunes for the award show audience, it's no surprise that the celebrated singer took home the prize.
Evanescence frontlady Amy Lee explains the band's long hiatus, the album that could have been and the fight to stay true to their sound.
Seether had an interesting year in 2011 with the departure of their guitarist Troy McLawhorn, who returned to Evanescence. Nonetheless, the band has had much success with their latest album 'Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray.' In our interview with frontman Shaun Morgan, he revealed that the band is perfectly fine as a three piece and that they have no desire to add another guitarist to the group just yet.
Four years after being named Sexiest Female at the Kerrang! Awards, singer Amy Lee of Evanescence has been honored by fellow heavy-music magazine Revolver as its Hottest Chick in Hard Rock for 2011. She graces the cover of the current issue, available now at newsstands.
Evanescence officially begin their return on October 11th with the release of the self-titled third album. The band's last album (2006′s 'The Open Door') may have failed to make a splash in the realm of rock, but still managed to move over 6 million copies. The climate of the music industry has changed so much since 2006, many wonder if the band will be able to return to the heights of their former popularity.

High Fives: Carter claws to top of best Raptors
Vince Carter heads the list of the greatest players in the history of the Toronto Raptors franchise, as voted on by a panel of USA TODAY experts, including editors, reporters, Hall of Famer Jack Ramsay and former NBA head coach Dwane Casey.
Carter, the Raptors all-time leading scorer, averaged 23.4 points a game in seven seasons in Toronto. Nicknamed Air Canada, Carter was a six-time All-Star and the rookie of the year with the Raptors.
"He gave the Raptors an international name when he won the slam dunk contest," said Canadian Leo Rautins, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks and has been the Raptors television analyst for 13 seasons.
Leo Rautins explains his picks:
Damon Stoudamire: He was the first face of the franchise and rookie of the year and really led this team.
Vince Carter: This team was no longer looked at as just an expansion team because of Vince.
Tracy McGrady: He was just amazing and it's just a shame something couldn't be done so he and Vince could have stayed together.
Chris Bosh: He's been everything you could want in a franchise guy. He's a character guy, too, as well as being one of the premier players in the league.
Antonio Davis: He wasn't a true 5, but he was as good a big as we ever had here, even though he was undersized.

there is no question about this, i have been using pc since i was born, but since last year i had a chnance to use a mac, i dnt wanna go back.
Side note, I'm actually a bit scared of this: http://www.androidpit.com/google-vs-apple-android Must read ^
These things takes a lot of time to solve and there's a lot of "ifs" usually involves.
But I do think the future is for "Android" products. (just my opinion).
Get PC because you will get more performance for that money as compared to mac and you can play games and run any software with ease. Mac is not virus free so stop claiming that it's virus free. On windows just install Microsoft Security Essentails which is free and you are good togo.
I was near to buy a MacBook. I think PC is better to go with when you allready have it. I mean, for what I need a cool Interface that is "easy" to handle. Im 95% in Photoshop so I wont see much difference. The other point you must consider if its also worth to switch the OS because you need a Mac Version of Adobe programms, which we know they arent cheap. All in all everybody must find his solution

Macs, I would say are for creative thinkers.
Or who think they are now creative because they own a Mac If you opening this thread asking, then you are doubting. Do not be fooled by it's shiny exterior and price tag. I would save the cash and invest in creative tools, books etc to further your skill set. Now that's being a creative thinker
Personally, I'm not a creative I'm a developer, but I switched my main computer from PC to Mac a few years ago. I honestly believe the switch has made me more efficient in my workflow. I still use a PC on a regular basis, and don't have any problems using it, but it's all down to personal preference.
I took the leap because I wanted to try something new, and didn't expect to actually swap my main machine over. The thing I find with Macs is that they hold their value quite well, compared to PCs. So, I'd say it doesn't matter what you use it for, the only way you'd know if it would be beneficial would be just to give it a go. Either pick up a second hand machine, or buy the latest (doesn't have to be the top spec) machine and play around with it for a few weeks. If you don't like it, then sell it on and you wouldn't lose that much, no more than if you rented the computer.
Give it a go, I think the days of being one or the other are coming to an end so it's not as if you have to abandon PC's now you have a Mac.

+1 That sounds like a misinterpretation of Apple's core values and their marketing, laid out in the last two decades. Apple assumes everyone is a creative and everyone is a thinker, even your grandma. You just didn't get the meaning of what they were trying to say with that vision.
Just switched to the retina macbook couple of weeks ago (from one of high-end VAIO laptops). For a windows user it's whole new experience. And it feels like "wow! that how computer should work".
and, yes, it is expensive. especially high-end configuration. but it worth every penny. there is no similar hardware in windows world (you will not believe this statement until you try it yourself).
Definitely not worth it I speak as a man with 15 years experience in this field

cough That's not true. You can also use a resolution higher than retina too.

My question today is on Salometers and Hydrometers
Could you tell me the differance between the two?
Do you need them both?If not which one do you use?
Is there one better than the other?
Are the one's you find in the supply cats.very good?
Thank you for your time and help.

Actually Hydrometers are long glass gauges that float in the water and are calibrated to give you a particular reading, depending on the type weight used in the end that is in the solution. Salinometers, Baume Scales, and Barkometers are ALL hydrometers. BUT they all are intended to read different values. A Salinometer reads the percentage of salt in your solution. The Baume Scale reads the specific gravity of your solution which can be equated to give you the amount of Alum in your solution, and a Barkometer is used to measure the amount of Bark Tan still left in solution, so it can be restrengthened. We carry them all.

Christopher Peterson died yesterday.
We don't know the details. We've just been touched by the shock wave going through a world-wide community that formed around his generous and productive life.
Just five days ago, Chris wrote an article in his Positive Psychology Today blog, The Good Life, about the ways he might use the word "awesome." Along with the 1000 statues of the Buddha at the Sanjūsangen-dō temple in Japan, all looking alike from a distance but different up close, his examples included the Vietnam Memorial and the Virginia Tech Hokie Stones memorial for the people who died in the 2007 shooting. He concludes the article this way:
Chris was our teacher during the first MAPP program, teaching us how to read and write about research in the first semester and exploring character strengths and virtues in the second semester. Every slide deck had at least one joke and at least one picture of a baby in it.
"The sort of awe I am describing is a bit different but incredibly important. It is awe about people collectively, including us. We are all the same, and each of us is unique, certainly in death but also in life. May we all stop and notice." Awesome: E Pluribus Unum by Dr. Christopher Peterson
We explored questions such as "What you can and cannot measure" and "What would we add as the 25th character strength?" He certainly didn't believe that the existing 24 had been handed down carved in stone. For his top 5 character strength, people who knew Chris might pick Love, Curiosity, Humor, Humility, and … but it may be difficult to narrow in on the fifth since so many applied.
Chris reminded us that asking interesting questions is what matters in good research and that writing is a series of choices about how to tell a story and the writer should have a goal and an audience in mind. He also told us, "There is nothing so practical as a good theory." At the same time, he had the ability to distill complex research findings into usable advice. He asked his students to think of the so-what factor: "So what? Why does it matter that this research exists? How does it make a difference?" Many students were keen to speak and work with Chris and benefited from his personal attention.
In the comments, please add any Chris stories that you are moved to tell. We'll start with our two stories.
Also, we will keep adding photos of Chris here, so please email us with the image attached: firstname.lastname@example.com
Chris, we are thinking about you …
Here are just some articles on PPND that reference Chris directly (BTW, there are over 100 references for each of the below two):
- Articles that reference "Christopher Peterson"
- Articles that reference "Other People Matter", the phrase Chris used to sum up positive psychology
Books by Christopher Peterson. The new book, Pursuing the Good Life: 100 Reflections on Positive Psychology, is scheduled to be published in December 2012.

Heidi Klum Didn't Start Boinking Her Bodyguard Until Seal Left & King Tut Had Man Boobs

Hi all,
After I insert more than 1 host record to point to hosts on my internal
lan, outgoing traffic is almost not possible. I'll explain a little bit
I added several hostnames pointing to 1 specific host in my lan. This to
make several domain names available internaly (eg. www.domain.net ;
webmail.domain.net ; news.domain.net etc.)
Added some NAT rules for incomming traffic.
When I add other hostname (and ip addresses) in the list to override
the dns forwarders, things like outgoing mail times out, dns lookups
fail etc.
On my workstations I point also the dns ipaddress to the monowalls ip
Anybody an idea what I can do or whats wrong in this picture.

Advanced adopts cautious approach to rights buyingIn recognition of the difficult climate of the German television market, troubled German rights trader Advanced Medien will in future only acquire film licenses so long as a broadcaster is already lined up to buy them.This new acquisition strategy was outlined by Advanced's newly bullish CFO Otto Dauer at the presentation of its 2000 financial figures.

Amelie dropped for surprise Cannes filmA surprise film is to replace the outdoor screening on Sunday (May 13) of local hit Amelie From Montmartre, which has been cancelled.Amelie was shoehorned into the festival after pressure from its producer and other Cannes leading lights, who upbraided the selectors for its non-inclusion.

The parashah continues Moses' series of talks to the people Israel shortly before his death, after they have wandered through the wilderness for 40 years. The emphasis changes from history to law, in this portion. Over the next several weeks, Moses will review many of the laws that the Israelites received from God, occasionally adding new ones.
This portion begins with the notion that the Israelites are given free choice. They can choose a life of blessing by obeying the commandments that God has given them, or they can choose a life of curses through disobedience. As they cross over into the Promised Land, they should be careful to obey all the laws that God has set before them.
The major theme of this portion is the centralization of worship in one holy spot that God will choose, a place for His name to dwell. All other so-called holy places are to be torn down. All offerings must be brought before God in that one central place. The requirement of a central place tended to unify the tribes and prevent divisions within the faith. (Eventually this place would be the Holy Temple in the city of Jerusalem.) Again the Israelites are warned against following the ways of the nations of the land.
Once again Moses summarizes the dietary laws. Only animals the have a split hoof and chew their cud can be eaten. Fish must have fins and scales, and there is a long list of forbidden birds, mostly birds of prey. The Israelites are given various other laws, including the requirement to tithe and to cancel all debts every seven years. The portion ends with a review of the three pilgrimage festivals, Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot, when all Jews had to appear at the centralized sanctuary.
"Behold I place before you today the blessing and the curse" (Deuteronomy 11:26)
"There shall be no needy among you, since the Lord your God will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you as a hereditary portion" (Deuteronomy 15:4)
"For there will never cease to be needy ones in your land, which is why I command you: open your hand to the poor and needy kinsman in your land" (Deuteronomy 15:11)

The Investment Forum is part of an international conference on The Role of the Kenyan Diaspora in Kenya's Development to be held on March 23-24th 2007, organized by the Institute for Global Initiatives at Kennesaw State University (KSU), the Association of Kenyan Professionals in Atlanta (AKPA), and the Kenya Development Network Consortium (KDNC). The Conference and the Investment Forum are designed to draw together individuals, government representatives and agencies, private sector entrepreneurs, potential foreign investors and multiple stakeholders to deliberate on effective initiatives for engaging the Kenyan Diaspora and international investors in Kenya's development process.
At the moment Kenya is at a critical point in defining her vision for the next decades in a rapidly changing global economic and social context. Since 2003, the economy has been on a remarkable growth trajectory recording an estimated 6% in 2006 from 0.6% in 2002. In 2006, the Government of Kenya launched a long-term strategic vision for the country - Vision 2030, which lays the foundation for an economic revolution of the country with the aim of transforming Kenya into a globally competitive and prosperous nation by 2030. Vision-2030 entails the consolidation of economic and social gains made so far coupled with a projected accelerated and sustained economic growth of at least 10% per year. With the most advanced commercial infrastructure in the region, steady economic growth and strategic location, Kenya is attracting renewed attention from both local and foreign investors.
What are the fundamental drivers behind the remarkable economic growth? What investment opportunities are emerging? What are the fundamental changes that are taking place in Kenya's economic and commercial landscape to consolidate and accelerate this growth? For answers to these and more questions, join the dialogue with a high-powered delegation of public and private representatives from Kenya.

A planned amalgamation of the Port LaTour and Barrington Fire Departments hit a bit of a bump at Monday night's Barrington Municipal Council meeting.
As part of a major overhaul of the organization of fire services in the municipality, a recommendation to unify the two departments was delayed after concerns from some Port LaTour firefighters were relayed.
Councillor Jody Crook said he had been told some firefighters had not been informed about the meeting where the decision to join the two departments was made.
"My understanding is that Port LaTour and Barrington are going to have another meeting because at the first meeting Port LaTour felt it was not well represented," said Councillor Crook.
Although council deferred a decision on the matter until its next meeting, some councillors expressed frustration with the delay.
"I don't know at a duly called meeting with a quorum with due process followed …I don't see where basically on the basis of hearsay to put a hold on a motion," said councillor Shawn Hatfield.
Warden Eddie Nickerson also questioned the reason for a delay.
"They made a recommendation to council and then how do we say …no we're not going to listen to the fire services advisory committee?" said Warden Eddie Nickerson.
With a delay in a decision to unite the two departments, the municipality also put a hold on plans to purchase a plot of land for a new fire station.
Last month, concerns about the future of the local fire departments saw community members come out in force at the Port Clyde Fire Hall.
At that meeting, people questioned how the proposed amalgamation of fire departments as well as changes in training requirements and a move to pay for fire services through an area rate would impact local volunteer fire departments.

Opening Day Tailgating With Bacon Explosion
Every so often we like to take a day off work and relax with friends and family. This time around we headed out to Kauffman Stadium to celebrate Opening Day with the Kansas City Royals. In true BBQ Addicts style, we loaded up the Weber Kettle for some recreational pre-game Bacon Explosion tailgating in the parking lot. As we were sitting around the grill sipping on some Iron City Brew, an anchorman from a local news station caught a whiff of sizzling bacon in the air and wandered over with his camera man to investigate.
The actual interview lasted significantly longer than what made air, and both the camera man and anchor also indulged in a sandwich before continuing on their journey across the parking lot. Our footage kicks in at the 1:10 mark, so keep your eyes peeled for the Bacon Explosion. Oh…and you may have a hard time finding the standard Bacon Explosion in this video. That's because we were using opening day to taste test the brand new line of Bacon Explosion products that will be hitting our site in the near future. I'll give you a hint…EVERYTHING on our grill is Bacon Explosion. Enjoy!

Twitter Suspends NewsBusters; UPDATE: NewsBusters is Back
UPDATE: Newsbusters's Twitter account has been reactivated. Follow Newsbusters here.
NewsBusters's Twitter account was suspended today by Twitter for an as yet unknown reason.
Conservative social media accounts have been attacked the past few years by liberals who flag them as spam.
Matthew Sheffield wrote in 2008:
Because of the proliferation of fake blogs, spam comments and phony videos, many interactive sites have added mechanisms to prevent a group discussion from being hijacked by allowing regular readers to "flag" things they come across that are offensive, obviously spam or violate copyright laws.
On this new frontier of free speech, it appears extreme liberals are the biggest offenders. Back during the presidential primaries, an entire group of blogs that refused to support Sen. Barack Obama in his quest to defeat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination were wrongly labeled as spam and taken down.
The Google-owned YouTube seems to be the biggest battleground for flag spammers. Dozens of pro-life videos there have been marked as "offensive" or containing "mature content," usually without any merit whatsoever. In many cases, complaints of the video producers have fallen on deaf ears.
It is unknown whether NewsBusters was flagged as spam, and a search of @spam and @NewsBusters on Twitter search doesn't show anyone flagging it as spam through that means.
Twitter did accidentally suspend a number of accounts on July 5:
Earlier today, we accidentally suspended a number of accounts.
We regret the human error that led to these mistaken suspensions and we are working to restore the affected accounts—we expect this to be completed in the next several hours.
NewsBusters had 734 followers at the time of its suspension.
Some Twitter users have been protesting Newsbusters's suspension.
stixXxnstones said:
Oi, @newsbusters is not @spam. Twitter, WE WANT TEH NEWSBUSTERS BACK ;(
If you want to complain to Twitter through Twitter, address Tweets to @twitter.
Update 19:12 | Matthew Sheffield. Looks like the account is back. Good news!

Note: It is strongly advised that you be familiar with the X-ray fluorescence experiment before attempting the experimental part of this investigation.
You will investigate the possibility of heavy metals contamination in this region. To that end, you will gather environmental samples from some area in this region and perform XRF to analyze these samples and determine the presence or absence of the metals which are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in Title 42, Chapter 82, Subchapter 3, Section 6924, Paragraph 2B.
We shall assume for the sake of this exercise that ANY detection indicates presence of that metal. Counting times for each sample will not exceed 30 minutes.
Your proposal should have sufficient detail on the method of sample collection and the reason for sampling a specific site (school, playground, reservoir, etc). Water samples may be collected using filter paper. However, the method of sample preparation must be explained in the proposal. You will collect approximately 15 samples.
WARNING! Since sample collection is a destructive process, this lab does NOT give you the right to deface or vandalize property.
Prepare your proposal in accordance with the National Science Foundation Proposal Guide (especially Section II.c.2) Not all categories will apply to your experiment.
Be sure to give a firm scientific justification of your experiment. In this exercise, A team of your professors are your reviewers and you must convince me that your experiment will work. The NSF has another home page where they give tips on proposal writing.
In proposal writing, ALWAYS EMPHASIZE the SCIENCE. If you cannot do that, then your proposal is probably worthless.
In order to complete the realism, only 25% of the submissions will be selected. If your team is not awarded, you will have to negotiate working with another team.
Once negotiations are completed, the winning team MUST submit a revised budget and work plan to me. No experimental write-ups will be accepted until this revised budget is submitted.
Each team member should be responsible for some part of the work plan. It is suggested that the team assess individual strengths and assign tasks accordingly (experimental work to the strongest experimentalist, etc.)
In order to make this more realistic, use the Form 1030 to prepare a budget for your project. In this exercise, assume that you must purchase all equipment that is necessary.
Your overhead (we will use WKU's 52%) will cover infrastructure (power, telephone, building space, etc.) The Overhead is calculated on salaries and wages NOT salaries + fringe.
You will use Western's Fringe rate of 32.45% to estimate fringe benefits.
You will decide your own salary and estimate the number of hours for preparation, performing and writing a paper on the experiment. If you have a lab partner, you must pay that person a wage. Please provide a letter from that person with the number of hours that they will work and their salary/wage.
Travel Expenses will be as per WKU Policy. Please see the FAQ of the Office of Sponsored Programs at WKU at WKU for further details.
As part of your equipment, you may budget funds for the purchase of the equipment, lease the equipment, or out-source the laboratory work to WKU, it is your choice.
Equipment lease rate is $1000/month. Laboratory service rate is $100/sample.
You must make a Gantt chart of your project and submit it with your budget information.
Fill out and submit Form 1207 as your cover page. The program announcement is "Broad Agency Announcement for the Environmental Investigations" by the NSF Physics Division with a closing date of October 10, 2005.
DUNS and TINS numbers for WKU Research Foundation can be found at the website of the Office of Sponsored Programs at WKU.
This is a group project and the work plan must plainly designate responsible individuals. This work plan will be compared to the final work assignments shown in the final report.
The team will submit a group lab report discussing the entire lab from sampling to analysis and conclusions from those analyses. In addition, the PI will prepare a worksheet detailing the efforts of every individual on the team. Each team member will sign the worksheet to indicate that they performed the work described in the final report.
The PI is the de-facto leader of the project. It is PI's responsibility that work is performed and that each individual is treated fairly.
Every worker has the right to see me if they believe that they are being treated unfairly. The PI has the right to see me if a worker is slacking off. In either case, I will take appropriate draconian action. It is highly recommended that you work these issues out between yourselves.

Dangerous marine markers found on beach
Oregon State Police Hazardous Device Technicians urge coastal visitors and residents to be aware of a potential safety hazard following a recent increase in reported findings of Marine Markers along the Oregon coast. The marking device can be dangerous and reported findings require a response by trained personnel for removal.
Three Mark 25 Marine Markers have been found along the Oregon coast. Normally there's one report a month, but three in a week is very unusual.
Used to mark floating locations, Marine Markers are used by military aircraft over the ocean. These devices contain white phosphorous, which burns in contact with air. Devices may malfunction, but even if they do fully function there is a possibility that some white phosphorous may be remaining and could spontaneously ignite, causing serious injury.
If you find a Marine Marker device don't touch it, secure the area 100 feet in each direction, and call OSP Northern Command Center at 800-452-7888.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Shao, Wanyun URN etd-05312012-230503 Title Understanding Public Perceptions of Global Warming Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Geography & Anthropology Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Garand, James Committee Co-Chair Keim, Barry Committee Co-Chair Hamilton, Lawrence Committee Member Wang, Fahui Committee Member Keywords
- environmentally significant behaviors
- global warming
- public perception
Date of Defense 2012-05-17 Availability unrestricted AbstractIn this dissertation, I investigate the determinants on Americans' perceptions of global warming and individuals' environmentally significant behaviors to reduce global warming. Specially, I examine how contextual variables, primarily represented by local weather and climate, attitudinal variables, and socio-demographic characteristics affect public opinion towards global warming, personal voluntary actions and willingness to address global warming.
The research of this dissertation reveals some important findings. First, local weather and climate—represented by long-term temperature trends—is found to have significant effects on public perceptions of global warming and private-sector environmentally significant behaviors. In particular, the summer temperature trend over the past 10 years has consistently shown to have positive effects on public acceptance of anthropogenic global warming and concern for global warming. In other words, individuals are most sensitive to summer temperature and more likely to translate increasingly hot summers into perceptions of anthropogenic global warming and their concern for this issue. Second, consistent with the results of previous studies, global warming has become a politically polarized issue. Specifically, Democrats and political liberals are more likely than Republicans and political conservatives to accept the notion of anthropogenic global warming, show higher level of concern for global warming, and participate in private-sector environmentally significant behaviors to reduce global warming. Third, attitudinal variables play an important role in affecting public perceptions of global warming and individuals' environmentally significant behaviors. For instance, personal attitudes toward scientists are found to be a strong group of predictors on public opinion toward global warming. In addition, attitudinal variables—including individuals' environmental views and perceptions of global warming—outperform socio-demographic characteristics and contextual forces in explaining the variance of personal actions and public willingness to pay more to reduce global warming. Finally, objective macro-economic conditions, represented by county-level unemployment rate in this dissertation are not found to have any consistently significant effect on either public perceptions of global warming or individuals' environmentally significant behaviors.

Kim Kardashian In Unusual Dress Choice At Glitzy Event
He has famously stepped in to revamp her wardrobe (see article here), so we're wondering whether Kanye West had anything to do with this little number that Kim Kardashian wore to attend a magazine launch party in New York.
Accompanied by her best friend Jonathan Cheban, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 31, wore a rather revealing, monochrome dress, that was backless and had cut out detail around the straps and sides.
The duo joined hosts Jason Binn, Christy Turlington Burns and Bruce Weber at the glitzy bash.
