On July 19, 2010, the New York State Board of Regents adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English language arts and literacy as well as for mathematics as new learning standards for all students in New York State. To date, 45 states have adopted similar CCSS. Establishing common education standards throughout the nation ensures that all children---regardless of geography, socioeconomic status, or life history---receive an education that values their potential.
In New York State, the CCSS provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so that teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.
Learn more about the Common Core State Standards by viewing the video below, produced by the Hunt Institute:
There are twelve shifts that the Common Core requires
of schools if we are to be truly aligned with it in terms of
curricular materials and classroom instruction. There are six shifts in ELA/ Literacy and six shifts in Mathematics.
Common Core Learning Standards for English
Language Arts & Literacy
These standards set requirements not only for English language arts (ELA) but also for literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical subjects. Just as students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, so too must the standards specify the literacy skills and understanding required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines.
As a natural outgrowth of meeting the charge to define college and career readiness, the standards also lay out a vision of what it means to be a literate person in the twenty-first century. Indeed, the skills and understandings students are expected to demonstrate have wide applicability outside the classroom or workplace.
Students who meet the standards readily undertake the close, attentive reading that is at the heart of understanding and enjoying complex works of literature. They habitually perform the critical reading necessary to pick carefully through the staggering amount of information available today, both print and digitally. They actively seek the wide, deep, and thoughtful engagement with high-quality literary and informational texts that builds knowledge, enlarges experience, and broadens worldviews. They reflexively demonstrate the cogent reasoning and use of evidence that is essential to both private deliberation and responsible citizenship in a democratic republic. In short, students who meet the Standards develop the skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening that are the foundation for any creative and purposeful expression in language.
Within Goshen, students in the upper grades will likely see the most dramatic shift in focus as the curriculum moves towards a greater emphasis on information literacy. Under the new standards, there will be an increased expectation for students to be able to provide text-based responses to questions.
Common Core Learning Standards for
These standards define what students should understand and be able to do in their study of math. But what does mathematical understanding look like? One hallmark of mathematical understanding is the ability to justify, in a way appropriate to the student's mathematical maturity, why a particular mathematical statement is true or where a mathematical rule comes from.
There is a world of difference between a student who can summon a mnemonic device to expand a product such as (a + b)(x + y) and a student who can explain where the mnemonic comes from. The student who can explain the rule understands the mathematics, and may have a better chance to succeed at a less familiar task such as expanding (a + b + c)(x + y). Mathematical understanding and procedural skill are equally important, and both are assessable using mathematical tasks of sufficient richness.
Within Goshen, students at the elementary level will likely see the most dramatic shift in focus as the curriculum moves from a spiraling approach to a mastery approach. Meaning, students will be expected to develop a deeper conceptual understanding of core content and build upon it from year to year. The district's "Everyday Mathematics" program, as well as several other programs, will be evaluated in the coming months to ensure that they align with the new standards.
The new standards were fully implemented in September 2012 although aspects of the program were gradually phased into classroom throughout the 2011-12 school year. In order to prepare, teams of teachers began meeting in summer 2011 to review and analyze the new standards and align them to the district's existing curriculum maps. Teachers and administrators also attended various trainings to learn how best to implement the new standards in the classroom.
Students were assessed on the new standards beginning in the 2012-13 school year. On August 7, 2013, the State Education Department released results of the grades 3-8 math and English Language Arts exams that students took in April 2013 -- results from the first exams that reflected the new, more difficult Common Core Learning Standards.
Before the Common Core was even implemented in the classroom, state officials warned parents, school leaders, teachers and media outlets to expect a dip in student scores on these exams. Read more about Goshen's exam results
According to New York State Education Commissioner John King, "…we expect the assessment scores will decline…The number of students meeting or exceeding Common Core grade-level expectations should not be interpreted as a decline in student learning or a decline in educator performance. The results from these new assessments will give educators, parents, policymakers, and the public a more realistic picture of where students are on their path to being well-prepared for the world that awaits them after they graduate from high school."
This is the second year of Common Core, and like all schools who have adopted these standards, the district anticipates its scores to increase as students become accustomed to the higher standards. In the end, students will ultimately benefit not only by learning more, but also by developing better problem-solving, critical thinking and communications skills.
"Ultimately, we place great emphasis on ensuring that our students have the skills and knowledge that they need to be successful in life. As the district continues to move toward full alignment with the Common Core, we expect student achievement to increase and with that our performance on all state tests," said Dr. Frank Sheboy, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction, personnel and technology.

Ahmedabad, a proposed venue to host a Test match in the series between the archrivals, is expected to figure prominently in Thursday's working committee meeting after Pakistan's refusal play there on security ground.
Pakistan expressed reservations of playing a Test or even a One-dayer in Ahmedabad that witnessed communal riots in 2002, and this may probably leave BCCI with no other option but to change the venue.
The Board has tentatively fixed Mohali, Bangalore and Ahmedabad as the venues for the three Tests while Kochi, Vishakhapatnam, Kanpur, Jamshedpur and Delhi are proposed to host the five One-dayers.
The vexed TV rights issue is also in the agenda for discussion and BCCI is likely to take a decision on the matter on Thursday. The Board had told the Madras High Court last week that it would not finalise the telecast rights for the series till February 17.
The BCCI counsel had given an undertaking to the court, following a petition by Zee Telefilms Ltd, that it would not finalise tenders or contracts for telecast of cricket matches to be played in the country including the India-Pak series till February 17.
The meeting will also approve the budget for the Pakistan team's tour besides ratifying the appointment of John Gloster as the physiotherapist of the Indian teams with effect from February 1.
Gloster, who worked with the Bangladesh national team over the last four years and was instrumental alongwith coach Dave Whatmore in putting in place a system for them, will replace Andrew Leipus.
Leipus quit as physio after India's tour of Bangladesh last month as he wanted to pursue higher studies.
The meeting will also consider the report of the grounds and wicket committee regarding pitch preparation for matches during the tours of Australian and South African cricket teams in October last year.
It will also discuss recommendations of the umpires committee that met in Delhi December last year.
Besides updating the members on the pending legal cases against the Board, the meeting will also finalise the modalities of the release of 'Social History of Indian Cricket' and '70 Years of Domestic Tournaments' and other related arrangements.

Watching the Texas Rangers win the AL pennant last night brought a number of thoughts to my mind. There's the obvious stuff about the underdogs taking down the Yankees, but there's quite a bit more this team represents, and the more I see of them, the more compelling I think they'll be in the World Series.
First, there's little doubt the Rangers wouldn't be here if not for the Cliff Lee trade, if only because of his stellar postseason and the fact that Texas kept him from going to New York in July, allowing the Rangers to overtake the Yankees in the ALCS. In this year where pitching has reigned, the trade, quite simply, changed the face of the AL pennant race.
But Lee wasn't all that good in the regular season for Texas - he had a 3.98 ERA in 15 starts - and his Game 3 win, though a masterpiece, was his only contribution to the ALCS. No, the Rangers deserve credit for developing a key starter in C.J. Wilson and unearthing another in Colby Lewis, who hadn't pitched in the majors since 2007. This team is more than Cliff Lee - though it should get credit for making the bold move of going after him to win now, particularly in a year where it went through bankruptcy and an ownership change.
Second, I know a Rangers-Giants World Series would be a ratings disaster, but for a baseball purist, isn't that the best matchup available? Lee, who will pitch Game 1, would match up against Tim Lincecum, and between Lewis, Josh Hamilton, Aubrey Huff and Buster Posey, there are good stories and reclamation projects galore. And after a Yankees-Phillies World Series, you'd have a matchup between two cities that have never experienced a championship. Sounds plenty interesting to me.
And of course, the local angle is alive and well here. The Rangers, of course, were the last team to play in Washington before the Nationals arrived in 2005, having left RFK Stadium for Arlington, Tex., following the 1971 season. How do the old Senators fans feel about this, especially after watching Senators I (the Twins) and Senators II (the Rangers) both make the playoffs this year?
Finally, Orioles fans, there's the Showalter Effect: The Rangers are the third team to reach the World Series under the manager that succeeded Buck Showalter. Unlike the Yankees and Diamondbacks, it didn't happen the year after he left, but with 50 seasons of futility to overcome, maybe the effect takes a little longer to kick in.
So take heart, O's fans: You might only be a couple bad seasons and a managerial change away from that parade down Eutaw Street.

A very comfortably stay with great hospitality. The Case Bella Suites were very clean and comfortable, and the proprietor Indy was most hospitable. Some people working in the tourism business go on courses to learn hospitality, but Indy and his wife are naturals. Having travelled a lot and worked in the tourism business myself for a while, my stay at the Case Bella was probably one of my best accommodation experiences. The secret - genuine hospitality coupled with good facilities. I would have no hesitation in booking the Casa Bella again and would relish the opportunity to share a drink and meal with Indy and his family again.

The association between functional movement and overweight and obesity in British primary school children
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between functional movement and overweight and obesity in British children.
Data were obtained from 90, 7–10 year old children (38 boys and 52 girls). Body mass (kg) and height (m) were assessed from which body mass index (BMI) was determined and children were classified as normal weight, overweight or obese according to international cut offs. Functional movement was assessed using the functional movement screen.
Total functional movement score was significantly, negatively correlated with BMI (P = .0001). Functional movement scores were also significantly higher for normal weight children compared to obese children (P = .0001). Normal weight children performed significantly better on all individual tests within the functional movement screen compared to their obese peers (P <0.05) and significantly better than overweight children for the deep squat (P = .0001) and shoulder mobility tests (P = .04). Overweight children scored significantly better than obese in the hurdle step (P = .0001), in line lunge (P = .05), shoulder mobility (P = .04) and active straight leg raise (P = .016).
Functional movement scores were not significantly different between boys and girls (P > .05) when considered as total scores. However, girls performed significantly better than boys on the hurdle step (P = .03) and straight leg raise (P = .004) but poorer than boys on the trunk stability push-up (P = .014).
This study highlights that overweight and obesity are significantly associated with poorer functional movement in children and that girls outperform boys in functional movements.
Childhood overweight and obesity persists as a major worldwide health issue
Other work
As data examining functional movement in children and particularly that examining the effect of weight status on functional movement is lacking, the aim of this study was to examine relations between functional movement patterns and weight status in primary school children.
Following institutional ethics approval, ninety children (38 boys and 52 girls, 86% Caucasian, 12% south Asian, 2% Black) from a primary school in Central England volunteered and returned signed parental informed consent forms to participate in the study. Children were aged 7-10 years (mean age ± SD = 9.6 ± 1.4 years). Participants were included if they were 'apparently healthy' children aged 7 to 10 years. Exclusion criteria included; the use of a mobility aid or prophylactic device (e.g., knee brace), if they had a musculoskeletal impairment or injury or head injury (<6 weeks) which was likely to affect their motor performance. Children who were diagnosed with any form of developmental disorder likely to influence motor performance were also not included (i.e., developmental coordination disorder, dyspraxia, dyslexia, Asperger's syndrome and autism).
Body mass (kg) and height (m) were measured to the nearest 0.5 kg and 0.5 cm respectively, using a stadiometer and weighing scales (Seca Instruments, Germany, Ltd). Children were assessed in bare feet and lightly clothed (in their Physical Education kit) and measurements were taken by anthropometrists accredited by the International Association for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) and using the standard ISAK protocol for such measurements. From this, body mass index was determined as kg/m2. Children were classified as normal weight (63.7%, n = 58), overweight (15.5%, n = 14) or obese (20.8%, n = 18) according to IOTF criteria
Functional movement assessment
The Functional Movement Screen™ (FMS™) is a pre-participation screening tool which evaluates the Fundamental Movement Patterns that underpin performance of all movement
For each test, the highest score from the three trials was recorded and used for analysis. These scores were also summed to generate an overall composite FMS score with a maximum value of 21 and in accordance with recommended protocols
In the present study both the composite FMS score and individual scores for each component of the FMS were used. This is consistent with previous research with young adults
Data analysis
As data did not meet the requirements for parametric statistical analysis, non-parametric tests were used for analysis. Relationships between total FMS score and BMI were analysed using Spearman's rank order correlation. Differences in scores for each test and the total composite score between gender groups were assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test and any differences in scores for each test and the total composite score between normal weight, overweight and obese children were examined using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Where any significant differences were found post-hoc analysis employing the Mann–Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction was used to determine where these differences lay
Total FMS score was significantly, negatively correlated with BMI (rho = −.572, P = .0001). Mean ± S.D. of total FMS scores when split by gender and weight status groups is presented in Table
The distribution of scores for the different FMS tests are presented in Figure

This study adds to the literature in the area by providing data examining the association between weight status and functional movement screen scores in children. Results of this study suggest that functional movement is related to weight status with functional movement being poorer in children classified as obese across all 7 tests in the functional movement screen, compared to their normal weight peers. In this respect the results of the present study are confirmatory of prior work
This study also supports prior research in adults which has suggested that excess weight results in functional limitations
To the authors' knowledge this is the first study to examine associations between weight status and the individual tests within the FMS in a pediatric population. The data presented here are however important as they highlight those children who are overweight and obese present maladaptive movement patterns needed to accomplish tasks of daily life. Moreover, in the context of the current study the condition of overweight versus obese cannot simply be equated in terms of FMS outcomes. The results of this study suggest a clear differentiation in the pattern of scoring for functional movement between normal weight, overweight and obese children. Obese children evidenced significantly poorer functional movement scores on all the tests within the FMS in comparison to normal weight children. However, overweight children only performed more poorly than their normal weight peers in the deep squat and shoulder mobility tests. The subsequent poorer performance by obese children compared to their overweight peers in the hurdle step, in line lunge, shoulder mobility and active straight leg raise tests might also suggest a graded deterioration in functional movement in normal weight compared to overweight and overweight compared to obese children. As this is the first study to compare individual test scores in children across normal weight, overweight and obese children (as opposed to combining overweight and obesity in one category) further research is needed to determine if this represents a dose–response in relation to the effect of excess body mass on functional movement.
Over time, these movement patterns coupled with the effect of excess weight on joint loading are likely to lead to orthopaedic abnormality in later life
Mechanisms for the impact of overweight and obesity on functional movement. Have been proposed by prior authors
Despite this, the data presented here support the need for interventions to improve functional movement in British children generally but those who are overweight and obese specifically. It is also important to note that although the children in the present study had been familiarised with the movements involved in the FMS, it may be that there are practice effects in the FMS. Studies have yet to ascertain whether this is the case.
When comparing these study results in relation to gender, one other study to date
Although there are various measures that have been used in studies to quantify fundamental movement skills
It is also important to note that the results presented here do not necessarily suggest a clinical need for those children exhibiting poor functional movement at their present age. However if those children who exhibited suboptimal movement patterns persist into adolescence and adulthood and are coupled with overweight/obesity this may lead to further musculoskeletal problems of clinical significance including chronic pain, knee osteoarthritis and early hip replacement (See
There are also potential confounding variables that may have influenced the results presented in the present study. Habitual physical activity may represent one such confounding variable and the lack of assessment of this variable should be considered as a limitation in the current study. Other individual variables such as socio-economic status and ethnic group may also potential influence functional movement and were also not accounted for in the current study. The present sample did not have a sufficient balance of ethnic groups nor was it drawn across multiple socio-economic status groups for these confounding variables to be accounted for. It may also be important for future studies to assess or control for such confounders when considering the impact of overweight/obesity on functional movement in children. Furthermore, longitudinal designs would be welcome to understand whether overweight/obesity leads to a lack of physical activity and subsequent poorer functional movement or whether suboptimal functional performance actually restricts ability to engage in health enhancing physical activity and leads to subsequent unhealthy weight gain. This exploratory study is also limited by a small sample size and larger scale studies would be welcome to verify the claims made here. In addition, cause and effect in relation to weight status and functional movement could not be determined in the present sample.
The results of this study build on prior studies on this topic by highlighting that overweight and obesity are significantly associated with poorer functional movement in British children compared to normal weight children. Presenting individual FMS scores alongside the total composite score also identified that normal weight children outperformed their overweight peers on the deep squat and tests of shoulder mobility and overweight children outperformed obese children in functional movements requiring hamstring flexibility, shoulder mobility and balance.
These results also highlight that girls outperform boys in functional movements requiring hamstring flexibility and balance whilst boys outperform girls in tests where muscular strength is required. Further research is needed which evaluates interventions to reduce overweight and obesity and/or improve functional movement in children.

Happy 75th Birthday, Anthony Hopkins! The Acclaimed Actor's Career in 8 Clicks (PHOTOS)
One of the most acclaimed and sought-after actors in the world, Hopkins has been entertaining audiences for more than 40 years, remarkably getting the break that made him a true movie star – Silence of the Lambs' Hannibal Lecter — at the age of 54.
To commemorate Hopkins' birthday, Celebuzz has assembled a gallery of some of his most memorable movie roles, celebrating the actor's versatility and consistency as one of the best in Hollywood.
Although he'd been acting on stage and television since 1960, Hopkins made a significant U.S. breakthrough in 1980, when he starred as a doctor trying to help a deformed man in David Lynch's The Elephant Man.
After working in films including 1984's The Bounty helped establish him as part of a new generation of English actors who could contribute substantive performances to films from virtually any country, Hopkins exploded in the public consciousness with his turn in Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs. Played cold-blooded serial killer Lecter, the actor not only scored an Academy Award, but earned a place in the pop culture pantheon as one of the scariest and most memorable villains in film history.
Click through our gallery for a good look at some of the actor's most famous roles. And let us know which of them are your favorites – or which ones we forgot – in the comments section below!

101 Vital Social Media and Digital Marketing Statistics
Okay, that statistic was made up (though probably not far off the mark), but the social media and digital marketing facts and statistics below are real (or at least from generally reliable sources).
For example, 93% of marketers use social media for business. But how do marketers and consumers view social media differently? How do top executives use social media? Small businesses? Rapidly growing companies? B2b vendors? What are the best days and times for Facebook updates? What's the average click-through rate of a link shared on Twitter? What tactic do 92% of SEO professionals view as effective? What percentage of queries on Google each day are new to the world (i.e., won't show up in keyword research tools)?
Find the answers to these questions and many, many more here in 101 vital social and digital marketing stats for (the rest of) 2013.

Social media has reached middle age(d). The fastest growing segment of social media users is now adults aged 45-54%. 55% of this age group now have a profile on at least one social network. (State of Search)
Facebook, Twitter and Google+ are the most popular social networks with search engine marketers. The second-most popular tier includes YouTube, blogging and LinkedIn. The least popular major networks are Flickr, Tumblr and StumbleUpon. (B2B Infographics)
Marketers aren't like ordinary people. (A pause here while you absorb the shock of that statement). While 86% of marketing professionals have "liked" at least one brand on Facebook, just 58% of consumers have done so. And the gap is even more dramatic on Twitter, where 61% of marketers but just 12% of consumers follow at least one brand. (Thought Reach)

92% of SEO practitioners say content creation is an effective SEO tactic, and 76% regularly invest in content creation. (B2B Infographics)
Marketers spend most of their time producing blog posts, article and guides, social media updates, e-newletters, and news releases; they spend the least on podcasts, polls and surveys. (B2B Infographics)
While 90% of companies are engaged in some form of content marketing [http://webbiquity.com/book-reviews/book-review-content-rules/], just 36% believe their efforts are highly effective. (Polaris B)
Images are (important!) content too: 94% more total views on average are attracted by content containing compelling images than content without images. Using photos provides a 37% increase in Facebook engagement and 14% increase in news release pageviews. (Heidi Cohen)
B2B Marketing Statistics and Facts
Social matters in b2b. 53% of b2b buyers follow social discussions about vendors they are considering. (War of Words: Myth-Busting Social Media, SEO & Content Marketing)
The role of sales has changed. 67% of the typical "b2b buyer's journey" is now done digitally. (War of Words: Myth-Busting Social Media, SEO & Content Marketing)
Google accounts for 90% of search traffic to b2b websites. (MediaPost)
Average conversion rates for different types of b2b web traffic: 1.60% overall; 2.89% for email; 1.04% for referral visits; 1.96% for paid search; 1.80% for branded search; 1.65% for direct visits; 1.45% for non-brand organic search; and 1.22% for social media. (MediaPost)
The biggest challenges for b2b content marketers? 64% struggle to produce enough content, while just over half (52%) find production of "engaging" content a challenge. (imFORZA)
More than 80% of b2b marketers use LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to distribute content. 61% use YouTube and 39% Google+. The least popular channels (all with single-digit percentage use) are Foursquare, Instagram, Tumblr and Quora. (Polaris B)
SEO is for traffic, social is for leads? Organic search accounts for, on average, 41% of traffic to SMB b2b websites, but just 27% of leads. Social media, in contrast, supplies just 2% of visits but 5% leads. And email accounts for just 1% of web traffic on average, but 9% of leads. (eMarketer)
Breaking that social traffic down one level, Facebook accounts for 54% of b2b website social media visits, but just 9% of leads; Twitter, on the other hand, provides less than a third of social visits but a whopping 82% of social leads. (Really?) (eMarketer)
SEO Statistics and Facts
Search produces quality traffic. SEO leads have a 14.6% sales close rate on average, compared to 1.7% for outbound leads (e.g., from direct mail or print advertising). (War of Words: Myth-Busting Social Media, SEO & Content Marketing)
Search is the top traffic driver to content-oriented websites, producing on average nearly four times the traffic of social media (41% from search, 11% from social). (War of Words: Myth-Busting Social Media, SEO & Content Marketing)
Another study found an even more dramatic advantage for search, with organic search supplying 40% of all traffic (and Google alone accounting for 36% of visits) to b2b websites, while social media accounted for just 5% of traffic. (Forbes)
Keyword research only goes so far: 16% of daily Google searches, on average, have never been seen before. (War of Words: Myth-Busting Social Media, SEO & Content Marketing)
Remeber when Google first started "hiding" the exact keywords used in organic search, and promised this would only affect a small percentage of search traffic? It now hides, on average, keyword data for 41% of all organic searches. (MediaPost)
For b2b websites, on average, the split between branded and non-brand search traffic is 31%/69%. (MediaPost)
6 of 10 organizations plan to increase SEO spending this year. (imFORZA)
One-third of searches are location based. (imFORZA)
71% of marketers say that content marketing has helped inprove their site's ranking in organic search, and 77% say it has increased website traffic. (iMedia Connection)
Nearly a quarter of U.S. small businesses plan to spend more on their web presence this year–as well they should. As of early 2013, "More than 60% lacked an address on their homepage, and nearly 50% did not provide a contact number…47% were not present on Google Places, and 35% did not have a Bing Local presence." (eMarketer)
Don't forget to optimize videos for search. YouTube is the second-largest "search engine" by volume of searches. (WordPress Hosting SEO)
Top brands spend, on average, 19% of their digital marketing budgets on search, vs. 14% on video content and 10% on social media. But the largest share (41%) goes to display advertising. (MarketingProfs)
Mobile Marketing Statistics and Facts
25% of all internet searches last year were made on mobile devices. And 25% of all U.S. internet users are mobile only (includes tablets). (imFORZA)
More than three-quarters (77%) of mobile users use their smartphones and tablets for searching and social networking. (imFORZA)
While mobile marketing is by no means unimportant, it may not justify quite the attention it gets. Marketers have a disorted view of the market because while 90% of marketing professionals own smartphones, but half of consumers do. And while 41% of marketing professionals say they have made a purchase based on information on Facebook, less than a third of consumers with smartphones–and just 12% of consumers without smartphones–have done so. (Thought Reach)
Forget the app, just use email. 33% of consumers say the email is the most effective tool for building loyalty, vs. 26% of marketers. On the other hand, 23% of marketing pros believe that custom apps are most effective at loyalty building; just 7% of consumers agree. (Thought Reach)
Asked how their marketing strategies would change in 2013, the largest percentage of marketers (82%) planned to increase their focus on mobile media. The largest decreases were expected in newspaper and magazine advertising. (eMarketer)

Awesome article, Tom. I love a good set of statistics from reputable sources.
I'm actually quite shocked that only 12% of consumers follow a brand on Twitter. I guess that's even more reason to get heard on Twitter.
If you're also a stats nerd like I am, you might want to check out this infographic my colleagues complied: The Top Benefits Achieved in Social Media in 2013 by 3,000+ Leading Marketers. It's been put together based on a study by Social Media Examiner, that shows how over 3,000 marketers are fairing in social media this year. We looked at the top benefits marketers are achieving, and how their ROI gains have changed between 2013 and 2012.

Thanks Berrie! I always enjoy checking out the infographics you publish. Fantastic stuff.
Aug 28 Posted 3 years ago BerriePelser
Tom, thx for this great list I am honered to be one there. It a very complete list and this should be a read for everybody!
Aug 6 Posted 3 years ago TomPick
Thanks Michael. I think 93% sounds about right; there are still isolated instances where social media isn't a requirement for certain types of businesses. And though more than half of mobile phone users now own smart phones, the top two uses are still phone calls/texting and email. Also high on the list is playing games. None of these activities involve search.
Aug 6 Posted 3 years ago MikeWilson718
I am amazed at all of these numbers. Thanks for taking the time to put them all together! One of the stats that isn't surprising to me, but I am still amazed at the number, is that 93% of marketers use social media for business, and I actually thought that the number would be higher since all business should know that using social media is one of the best ways to market your brand or service. More and more people are turning to social media every day to get the latest information on news stories, sports, events, and businesses should be reaching out to that audience any way that they can. I'm also surprised that 25% of all internet searches last year were made on mobile devices, considering that a lot of people have smartphones like the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. I bet that number will be up next year.

I am not sure this can be done in less than a week, unless you have access to the appropriate tools. But hopefully someone you know will be willing to help.
If the raft has seats, can you find a clamp assembly (or make one) that works like this style of lamp?
I had one ages ago - the screw clamp attached to a desk or table, and the lamp was a separate assembly with a peg on the bottom that rested in a hole on the clamp. It might fall over if you get some serious wave action going but if you make it (or find one) that is adjustable you can set it up again. You may have to make a little shim for the pole if the fit is not perfect, or you could let the pole slide all the way through and then ultimately rest on the floor of the raft, but if you do that i would find a secure way to prevent a puncture, like resting the pole inside of a bucket or padding it very well with foam rubber and duct tape.
If the raft is the kind my parents have and is seatless, i would make a platform that you all would sit on. I just worry about the safety of that. Regardless, here is a description of how i would do it.
THIS IS VERY LONG. It is a text file i saved as a jpeg in order to post it here.
This is also predicated on you already owning the raft, and also that you will in fact be floating, and not white water rafting. And of course safety issues are paramount here. If anyone objects at all to the safety of having a large pole and platform in your craft, abandon project!
My only issue is that if you have to get rid of the thing in a hurry, you can't because you are all sitting on it. So use your best judgement about the type of river you are on, the ages of people in your craft, your ablity as swimmers, and compliance with life jacket wearing. (Might i stress the life jackets? )
Good luck. Please let us know how it turns out.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Zordon, May 29, 2014.
All 3 of these guys are morons, but Skip was pretty spot on.
They all made pretty good points. Everyone, even Cowboys haters, have a deep respect for Sean Lee. They were all right though that Dallas makes emotional decisions instead of rational ones and that they didn't do a good enough job acquiring LB depth knowing Lee's history.
Yeah I can't call any of them "morons". It sucks to hear but they aren't lying. Only thing though is that the Cowboys did try to address the MLB position by trying to use a 1st round on one until the Steelers came and got Shazier. Bruce Carter is also a MLB. They were speaking like they put all their eggs in Lee and that's not the case.
But they aren't lying. I can't disagree. Sucks for us to hear but none of them are lying.
It's impossible to know if someone has the "prone gene" but I think after 3 previous seasons of time missed, there should be pause when giving out money.
At least Dallas had injury stipulations in play.
Refuse to watch these morons.
Stephen A. Smith is not exactly E.F. Hutton
Good video
Jerry Jones is going to have a bad year ... lol
they are typical examples of todays mediot brigade. Lowest common denominator; always go for controversy over truth; never do anything the hard way- easy route always; and going for the worst possible angle whenever possible since that sells better.
I always agree with Skip & SAS, but they are stating the obvious.
Controversy sells, and you can hardly find even a network news program that isn't full of hyperbole -- CNN and Fox are good examples.
So, it's all about viewership, and these idiots will say anything to establish their reputation as "outspoken", so that we'll all watch to see what kind of crazy statements they might make, thus increasing their marketshare and advertising revenue, thereby increasing their own income.
That's entertainment these days. Truth be damned.
Having said that, Lee is screwed for the present, and there is no reason to feel good about his future.
They are absolutely right.
They said we didn't address it in the draft, but there wasn't a LB other then Mosley... who is injury prone that we would of taken. They have no idea how Hitchens will perform so I guess we will wait and see.
What I will never understand about these guys is they love talking about the Cowboys yet during the season all they do is talk about how irrelevant we are but they can't stop talking about us.
We make for great entertainment.
Colin Cowherd addressed this on his radio program recently. The Cowboys drive ratings in good times and in bad, when the information is negative and when the information is positive. So basically ESPN says, "Give me more Cowboys talk."
When viewers/listeners become less interested, then the Cowboys talk will subside.
ESPN is first and foremost a business. It may have dedicated journalists who in the midst of doing business get to crank out provocative and thought-provoking work (E-60 and 30 for 30 being among them). But ESPN is in the business to make money. The Cowboys sell.
It's something everyone should understand by now, but I'm glad Colin articulated it.
Remind me later to put you on ignore.
Just makes me root for Hitchens all the more.
I didn't hear anything that I hadn't already read in here.

Author | exchange4media Kolkata Bureau | Wednesday, May 21,2008 8:41 AM
Bates 141 Kolkata has bagged the creative duties for Axiom Estates following a multi-agency pitch involving JWT, Grey and Lowe, besides Bates 141. Initiative Media has been handling the international media business for Axiom Estates for over a year.
Axiom Estates has become one of the largest providers of India property services to NRIs globally with own and associate offices in London, New York, Silicon Valley, Dubai and across India. A comprehensive central database and relationships with leading developers across the country enables Axiom to provide real estate investment advisory services on inter-city opportunities. With the RBI permitting Indians to buy property overseas, Axiom also provides counsel to its Indian customers on real estate investment opportunities in the overseas markets.
Headquartered in London, Axiom Group provides India property services to the NRI community based in the UK, the US, and the Middle East. Axiom Estates, through its organised marketing and integration of key services, enables NRIs to choose, buy and manage their India property without the need to travel.
Axiom Estates will be launching their services shortly across India and Bates 141 would be involved in developing strategies and communication to tap their clients both in India and abroad.
Commenting on the win, Abeer Chakravarty, Senior Vice President, Bates 141, said, "Axiom Estates provides a unique opportunity for us to demonstrate our through-the-line skills, especially in response ads and one-on-one communications via the Internet."
Giving the reason for choosing Bates 141, Rajesh Goenka, Chairman and CEO, Axiom Estates, said, "Axiom Estates is a leader in the business of selling Indian properties to NRIs. Having established a leadership, the brand equity as well as a unique marketing model in the US and the UK, we are now focusing on India. Axiom Estates has just launched in India and is uniquely poised to now offer properties across cities and countries for the Global Indian. We were keen to work with an agency that understood both advertising and direct response marketing. Bates was the only agency that could provide this holistic solution and their approach to response marketing stood out among all other agencies we had considered. Bates will help us connect with our customers both in India and overseas."

pgirmess & pgirbric
Miscellaneous functions for data handling and analysis in ecology
Patrick Giraudoux
R Packages
is a package of miscellaneous functions developped in R for spatial analysis and model selection in ecology. They have been used in the course of on going research carried out at the
Department of Chrono-environment
of the University of Franche-Comté, as and when required sometimes, with several contributors (mentioned in the documentation). The last stable version of this package and
the beta version under developement if available
can be downloaded from here
The stable version and a pdf reference manual are also accessible on
The package name comes from the acronym Patrick GIRaudoux MESS (the contents reality and an indirect hommage to more essential packages, eg MASS, etc.). We do the best we can to optimise each function and pgir must be blamed for any misworking.
is a package with functions not intended to be published on CRAN for some reasons (eg too much device specific or still to improve or deprecated in other packages, etc.).
The name is an acronym of Patrick GIRaudoux BRIColage, the latter a French name for 'do-it-yourself' which may be another kind of mess, or for BRICk, some functions seen as brick to build something more general later. Same comments as above about misworkings.
Working prototypes of shell scripts to run within
or >
Those files must be copied into a folder visible with PATH eg. under linux have a "scripts" folder in your home directory and add GRASS_ADDON_PATH=~/scripts to /usr/lib/grass/etc/Init.sh. To specify rights e.g.
chmod a+x r.what.buff2
before running it may be necessary.
generates a text file of the frequency of each category
of a raster map
within various radius buffers computed on vector point sites. A circular buffer is created around each point location of the vector file and the final output is text file of 4 columns: col 1 = radius, col 2 = point ID, col 3 = pixel category value, col 4 = pixel count corresponding to this value. Category * is the null value.
permits to generate a text file of the frequency of each category
of a raster map
for areas covered by polygon vector objects. The output is a text file of 3 columns: col 1 = polygon ID number, col 2 = category value, col 3 = pixel count corresponding to this category. Category * is the null value.
Those prototypes have their equivalent in R, package
>= 1.4.5 with the functions
rwhatbufCat, rwhatbufNum

I am often asked which procedure is used for multiple comparisons in
. You'll find a citation of "Siegel and Castellan (1988) Non parametric statistics for the behavioural sciences. MacGraw Hill Int., New York. pp 213-214"
pgirmess install on linux (e.g. linux mint 14, 23.02.2013)
In some versions of linux, I have got reports of pgirmess "failing to install correctly". This is generally not due to pgirmess (however see daily checks on CRAN) but most often to a defective installation of gdal (
on which pgirmess and rgdal depends on
) within linux.
Careful solution:
1 - in linux (synaptic or similar software), first install:
- proj-devel lib & dependencies
- libgdal1-dev lib & dependencies
2 - then, in R, install
- pgirmess & dependencies (including rgdal)
