Catch Your Readers in Kansas City
Move readers to act in this persuasive writing workshop
"I have been a journalist for 30 years, published more than 10,000 times, and I have learned more about writing in the past two days from Ann than I have in all that time. I so needed this!"
— Jim Masters, internal communications specialist, Accenture
If you want to Catch Your Readers, you need to think like a reader. Then you need to use the bait your reader likes, not the bait you like.
Problem is, many of the techniques we've institutionalized in business communication writing are not the bait the reader likes. In fact, some of the standards in the corporate communicator's repertoire are more likely to hinder than help your chances at getting the word out.
In this persuasive writing workshop, we'll debunk destructive writing myths. You'll leave with scientific, proven-in-the-lab approaches for getting people to pay attention to, understand, remember and act on your messages.
Specifically, you'll learn how to:
- Think Like a Reader: To move people to act, give them what they really want
- Hook 'Em With a Savvy Structure: Master a structure that's been proven in the lab to reach more readers
- Cut Through the Clutter: Make every piece you write easier to read & understand
- Lift Ideas Off the Page: Draw readers in and reach nonreaders with display copy
- Get a writing workout with Wylie: Take your message from 'meh' to masterpiece when you practice your new skills on your own work

Attack Of The Killer Vibrator!
April Bonjour, of California (who incidentally has a fantastic porn star name), is suing Pipedream Products Inc. claiming that their vibrator nearly killed her! Bonjour states that she was using the product "in the manner intended," when a sharp pain led to bleeding so intense she called 911. The poor thing required multiple pints of blood upon arrival at the hospital. Both Bonjour and her son were fearful the injury would kill her (talk about an awkward conversation!). The injury occurred last November, though Bonjour is just now seeking damages in the amount of $25,000. I wonder if the toy in question has been confiscated for inspection of product flaws? Otherwise it may be that Ms. Bonjour had gotten just a bit too creative with her technique. [NY Daily News]

Law firm helping the University's Student Volunteer Army
Law firm helping the University's Student Volunteer Army connect the community
May 16, 2014
University of Canterbury's UC Student Volunteer Army will team up with law firm Duncan Cotterill this weekend to help the Ilam-Riccarton community in Christchurch.
The first drive to connect with the community was held in the Burwood suburb last year with the aim of bringing students and local residents together for a day of community action, connection and fun.
Student Volunteer Army president Bridget Williams says this year they decided to focus on the Ilam-Riccarton area as a way to empower students to volunteer, to enable them to see the difference they can make in their local community, and to forge a more positive relationship between them and local residents.
``Volunteers will be divided into groups and dispersed across the Ilam-Riccarton area where, alongside staff members from Duncan Cotterill, they will be helping residents with gardening, baking, clearing graffiti and general maintenance.
``Volunteers will, together with high school students from across the city, also be painting a mural on a wall at St Teresa's School in the area.
``As part of the event, all Ilam-Riccarton residents will be invited to attend a free community barbecue at the school. The SVA looks forward to connecting the community tomorrow and we are grateful to Duncan Cotterill for supporting the event,'' Williams says.
``We have over 1300 members and it's hard to say how many people we hope to help just one community. But we will take their rubbish to the dump, weed, mow lawns, chop wood, wash windows, paint murals, bake, and vacuum and do any general fix-it jobs.
Williams says a raft of other community service projects were planned for this year. The SVA was born on the streets of Christchurch after the February 22, 2011 earthquake to help with the liquefaction clean-up.

BT Group PLC is putting its iconic red telephone boxes up for sale for the first time in 25 years, giving private buyers a limited opportunity to invest in a piece of British design history.
The K6 or "Jubilee kiosk" – so-called because it was introduced to commemorate King George V's silver jubilee in 1936 – was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
The telecommunications group will initially put 60 boxes up for sale, although some of the remaining 11,000 are expected to be gradually sold off.
Prices start at £1,950 ($3,100) for a basic empty phone box, plus delivery and VAT, the proceeds being split between BT and X2 Connect, a payphone contractor which carries out payphone refurbishment.
Hundreds of boxes were auctioned off in the mid-1980s, fetching between £50 and several thousand pounds. As mobile phones reduce demand for phone boxes, many of the 92,000 payphones in use in 2002 have been "adopted" by local communities for £1 or turned into cash machines and WiFi hot spots. Today just 51,000 BT payphones remain in use.
Sir Giles only reluctantly agreed to paint the K6 boxes "Post Office red," preferring silver or grey exteriors.
The architect was also responsible for many public buildings and landmarks, including London's Battersea and Bankside power stations (the latter now housing Tate Modern), Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral and Waterloo Bridge.

WaPo Notes Dem Party Connection in 'Whitey' Bulger Arrest Story... In Very Last Paragraph
"TV, Twitter were Boston mobster's undoing" the below-the-fold page A1 Washington Post headline informed readers this morning.
In the 21-paragraph story that followed, Post staffer Jerry Markon detailed how the FBI closed in on the alleged serial killer and wanted mob boss.
Yet Markon waited until the very last paragraph to note James "Whitey" Bulger's familial connection to Bay State Democratic politics:
Bulger, who ratted out his rivals in the Italian Mafia as a government informant, also had political connections. His brother, William M. Bulger, was a Democrat who presided over the Massachusetts state Senate for two decades and became president of the University of Massachusetts system. He was forced to resign over refusing to talk during a 2003 congressional inquiry about James Bulger's activities.
As I noted yesterday, MSNBC avoided referring to Billy Bulger, including how he resigned under pressure from the presidency of UMass when then-Gov. Romney slammed him for failing to aid a congressional inquiry into his mobster brother.
From the August 6, 2003 New York Times:
William M. Bulger resigned today as president of the University of Massachusetts after months of mounting criticism and political pressure over his ties to his fugitive brother.
Mr. Bulger, 69, a Democrat who is a former longtime president of the Massachusetts Senate, read a statement saying his decision to resign was a result of "a calculated political assault" on him, largely by Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican.
A spokesman for Mr. Bulger, Robert Connolly, said: "Mostly it was the dispute with the governor. While it had abated over the past few weeks, it was not going away." The wrangling was harming the university, Mr. Connolly added.
The resignation of Mr. Bulger, for years one of the most powerful political figures in the state, was seen by many politicians as a major victory for Mr. Romney, who first attacked Mr. Bulger in December. That was when Mr. Bulger refused to testify to a Congressional committee about his brother, James Bulger, known as Whitey, who is on the F.B.I. Most Wanted List.
In February, Mr. Romney proposed eliminating William Bulger's position as part of a broad reorganization of the University of Massachusetts. The battle continued in June, when Mr. Romney called on Mr. Bulger to resign after he gave what Mr. Romney said was evasive testimony about his brother to the House Government Reform Committee.

A GANG of Londoners caught after spending counterfeit cash in a town centre shop have been released on bail by a judge.
Claire Gill, Valerie Gill, and Aurimas Radzius, pleaded guilty to passing the counterfeit money in Swindon last February.
The trio, from the east of the capital, had been due to face a trial alongside a 16-year-old girl, accused of conspiracy to pass counterfeit currency.
But after Claire, 31, Valerie, 33, and Radzius, 26, pleaded guilty to a charge of delivering counterfeit currency with intent, prosecutors dropped the other charge.
As a result the pregnant teenager, who is due to give birth next week, was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Judge Douglas Field, sitting at Swindon Crown Court, adjourned the case to allow the probation service time to compile a pre-sentence report.
He released Valerie, of Isleworth and Claire and Radzius, who live together in Hounslow, on bail to February 22.
The four were arrested after reports of the dodgy bank notes being passed in stores, including Savers in The Parade.
It is alleged officers found £1,200 worth of fake £20 notes along with £420 in genuine currency in the door of the car when they were detained in Chippenham town centre.
The boot of the vehicle was also said to have been full of shopping bought from a number of stores in Swindon and Chippenham.
Fake money was also found to have been passed at other shops - Poundland, The Works, and Robert Dyas, in Chippenham.

Manchester United fans are hoping the club's newest star can inspire the team to victory in the Champions League.
Federico Macheda bagged a last-minute winner against Aston Villa on Sunday, and the 17-year-old is likely to play some part against Porto on Tuesday.
But he will probably start the quarter-final on the bench as Wayne Rooney - who was suspended for the match with Villa - is expected to return.
Arsenal are also in action on Tuesday, against Spanish side Villarreal.
But the English team are missing some important players, including top scorer Robin van Persie, and striker Eduardo.
Theo Walcott and Samir Nasri are both fit to play for the Gunners after being checked by doctors, but they may not be 100 per cent.
Even so Arsenal will be hopeful of going through, and knocked the same opposition out of the competition in the semi-finals in 2006.
Staying put
There was more good news for United fans following the Villa win, as Ronaldo said he was planning on staying at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese star was linked with a world record transfer to Real Madrid at the weekend, but on Monday Ronaldo said: "I am happy here. I think it is the right club."

Sharon Gannon on Veganism
If it were possible to live without causing harm to any living being at all, then indeed we might well choose not to eat carrots or other vegetables. The best we can do is strive to minimize the amount of harm we cause by living.
Yoga & Christ
Jesus was a yogi: He lived the yogic life. Through acting in a way which was harmonious with the creation, He felt the presence of God within His own being and was not only able to identify with it but to exemplify it so as to inspire others
Teaching Yoga
Because it is the Kali Yuga, many people will be interested in yoga, and these people need teachers. It isn't necessary that a yoga teacher be an enlightened being, but they must be able to immerse themselves in the study of the teachings.
The emergence of Jivamukti Yoga
By means of asana and other traditional yogic practices, Jivamukti Yoga provides a path to enlightenment for the sincere seeker.
Stimulating Creativity
the question then for the artist becomes how do you get closer to that realm. Or how do you subsume yourself in that realm?

Detroit Tigers mananger Jim Leyland has made either the dumbest declaration ever or is completely full of it.
According to this story, "Leyland said Verlander won't even be available out of the 'pen" for ALDS Game Five in New York Thursday night.
This is absurd. Yes, Verlander threw 120 pitches on Monday, so he might be gassed right now. But this is a playoff elimination game. Every rule, every guideline—heck, every sense of rationality—has to be tossed aside if the game is on the line and Verlander can help.
Did Leyland watch Game Seven of the 2001 World Series, the game in which Randy Johnson came out of the bullpen the day after starting Game Six and got the save? Is Leyland plotting his rotation for an ALCS that his team might not reach? If so, he should be fired—now—and replaced with someone who will do whatever it takes to win Game Five.
The other, more palatable, option is that Leyland is blowing smoke and trying to get some small pyschological advantage. If so, he's wasting his time. Joe Girardi will have CC Sabathia ready just in case, so he's undoubtedly expecting Leyland to prep his own ace for the possibility of being pressed into duty.
Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. But Leyland is, too, and for no good reason.

A war memorial, which has stood tall for nearly 100 years in Wimbledon Village, is set to become the latest victim of council cuts.
The memorial on Parkside, which was built in 1919 and commemorates Wimbledon residents whose lives were lost while serving their country, will have its surrounding garden replaced by gravel.
John Humphries, 87, lives directly opposite the memorial and discovered Merton Council's plans after he spotted a man with a measuring tape on the site two weeks ago.
He said: "It seems they can go ahead and do this to save money without consulting anyone, what a great shame.
"This is the last of the historic green and it's hardly a very big patch of grass to cut – I know someone who can do it in less than 40 minutes.
"Surely they should be consulting the residents before doing this."
Residents and councillors have complained about overflowing rubbish bins in the borough's parks since the Council made a number of its full-time park keepers redundant.
The change was necessary, the council said, because it is received a reduced grant from the Government.
In a letter to Mr Humphries, Merton's cabinet member for environment, Councillor Andrew Judge, said the war memorial was "not a core part" of the council's day to day duties.
Instead the council will replace the grass with bound gravel, which Coun Judge said would cost less to maintain and "preserve a respectful, high presentational standard."
Norman Plastow, president of The Wimbledon Society historical group, said removing the grass would be a "pity" and questioned why the council could not invite residents or other groups to maintain the memorial.
Mr Plastow said: "There are so many things which are disappearing for good because, bit by bit, we spend a little less and maybe don't value things like the memorial as we did before."
This year's Remembrance Services in November will coincide with the 200-year anniversary of Britain of the Anglo-American War of 1812, when inventor William Congrieve would experiment his 'Congrieve Rockets' on Wimbledon Common.
Merton Council confirmed there would be no consultation on their plans.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -
Arizona State-Wyoming stats College of Charleston-Wyoming
The Wyoming Cowgirl Volleyball Team (9-1 overall) opened up the first day of competition on Friday at the Jayhawk Invitational with a split in their two matches. In a thriller, they defeated Arizona State (6-1 overall) in the first match of day in five sets (25-23, 18-25, 18-25, 26-24, 15-11), while closing out the day with a four set loss (15-25, 28-26, 21-25, 27-25) against the College of Charleston (4-3 overall).
"We had a great performance this morning against Arizona State," said head coach Carrie Yerty. "They are a solid program and it was a tremendous win. We had some outstanding play by several players including Becky Stewart with a career high 33 digs. We knew that it would be a battle with the College of Charleston. They were coming off a loss to Kansas in the first match and we knew they would be hungry. We came out a little slow and went away from our game plan. We need to regroup and get ready to close out the tournament against Kansas tomorrow."
After the two teams traded the first four points, the Cowgirls scored five of the next six points to give them a 7-3 advantage in the early going of the first set. Arizona State answered with a 6-2 run to even things up at nine all. Two points by Wyoming put them back up 11-9, which they would build up to three, 14-11. They would continue to maintain their lead for the next several points as the two teams played even. With the score 18-16 in favor of UW, the Sun Devils ran off the next 7 of 12 to tie up the score at 23-23. The Cowgirls regrouped after a timeout and scored the final two points to take the first set 25-23.
Arizona State came out as the aggressor in the second set as they jumped out to the 6-2 early lead. The Cowgirls tried to close the gap with three of the next four points to make it a two point set, 7-5. The Sun Devils rebuilt their lead back to three, 10-7, which was answered with a 7-4 run by UW to tie the score at 14-14. ASU responded with four straight points to make it 18-14, which they would extend to seven, 23-16, with five of the next seven points. The Cowgirls scored two straight points, but their comeback fell short with the Sun Devils winning set two 25-18.
Momentum carried over with Arizona State in the third set as they scored three straight to begin the set. The Cowgirls scored five of eight to pull within one, 6-5. The Sun Devils charged right back with a 7-3 run to build the lead back to five, 13-8. Wyoming would score the next point to end the run, but unfortunately ASU continued to stretch the lead by going up by six, 19-13. The Cowgirls were able to pull to within three points, 21-18. It wouldn't be enough as the Sun Devils won the third set by the exact score 25-18.
In the fourth set, the score was all even through the first eight points. Wyoming took the two point lead, 8-6, by scoring four of the next six points. Three straight from Arizona State gave them a one point advantage, 9-8, which was answered with a 5-2 run by the Cowgirls putting them up 13-11. The Sun Devils charged back with a 4-0 run of their own to retake the lead 15-13. A kill from Bridget Shanahan stopped Wyoming scoring drought but Arizona State regained the lead quickly, 19-15, by scoring the next four of five. The Cowgirls continued to battle back as another kill by Shanahan started a 4-1 run to pull them to within one, 20-19. After ASU earned the next point, Wyoming wouldn't go away as they clawed their way back with a 5-2 run to earn set point, 24-22. The Sun Devils responded with two unanswered to even it all up at 24. The Cowgirls maintained their composure and with two straight kills by Jodi Purdy and Reese Plante they forced a fifth set with a 26-24 win.
Wyoming got it going with a Camille Coffman kill in the fifth set as that started a 4-0 run. Arizona State ended it with two scores, which was answered by scoring five of six to extend their lead to six, 9-3. They would maintain a four to five point lead, but the Sun Devils wouldn't go down without a fight. They closed the margin to three, 13-10, which was as close as they would get. The Cowgirls scored the final two of three points, which included a triple block on the last play to earn the 15-11 win in the set and a 3-2 victory in the match.
Four Cowgirls finished the match in double-figures led by senior Camille Coffman. She had a team high 12 kills along with six block assists and 15 points. Jodi Purdy followed with 11 kills, seven digs and a career high seven total blocks, while Reese Plante and Bridget Shanahan each added ten kills each. Plante also hit .692 (10-1-13) and recorded seven blocks. Junior libero Becky Stewart had a career match with 33 digs. Wyoming hit .226 (52-17-155) for the match, while recording a season high 17.5 total blocks.
It was a struggle to begin the second match of the day against the College of Charleston. The Cougars opened up the first set with an early 6-1 lead. Two errors from the College of Charleston ended the scoring run and made it 6-3. Unfortunately, CofC ran of seven straight points to extend the lead to double-figures, 13-3. A bad set led to the Cowgirls next point, but the Cougars scored seven of the next nine to increase their advantage to 14, 20-6. Despite outscoring their opponent 9-5 down the stretch, Wyoming fell in the first set 25-15.
The Cowgirls tried to shift the momentum in the second set as they scored six of the first nine points to go up 6-3. Over the next several points, they would maintain a two to three point lead until four straight by College of Charleston gave them their first lead of the set 10-9. Wyoming evened it up at 11 all which was answered with a 6-4 run by the Cougars to give them a 17-15 advantage. Wyoming would chip away at the lead started by a Jodi Purdy kill and a couple of errors by CofC they evened up the score at 21 all. It would be a battle of wills for the remainder of the game as neither team could gain the upper hand. The teams traded the next couple of points until a kill by Calli Miller gave the Cowgirls their first set point, 24-23. Emily Neideffer put down the kill to hold off the set winner. Two players would score the next six points in order to determine the set. Camille Coffman earned the second set point for UW, 25-24, followed by a kill from the Cougars Darcy Dorton. The next two points were that way as well. With the score all tied up at 26, Dorton served the ball into the net giving the Cowgirls their fourth set point opportunity. With Coffman back to serve, she would get a service ace to give Wyoming a 28-26 win in the set.
It was all even through the first ten points of the fourth set until a kill by Reese Plante and two points from Jodi Purdy made the score 8-5 in favor of Wyoming. Over the next several points, they maintained a couple of point lead until a 6-1 run from the Cougars gave them a one point advantage, 14-13. With the score 16-14 in favor of College of Charleston, three straight points by UW put them back ahead 17-16. Unfortunately that would be as close as they would get as they were outscored 9-4 the remainder of the set to fall 25-21.
In the fourth set, the score was fast and furious as the two teams were all tied up at six. The College of Charleston would run off the next eight of ten to give themselves a 14-8 lead. The Cowgirls chipped away at the lead with a 6-0 run to even the score at 14 led by a number of players. The Cougars responded with six unanswered to put them ahead 20-15. Wyoming would climb their way back into it and even it up at 24 all earning set point 25-24. Unfortunately, the Cougars scored the final two points to win the set 27-25 and the match 3-1.
Jodi Purdy led the way for the Cowgirls with a team high 13 kills and eight digs. She was followed by Camille Coffman with eight and Reese Plante with six. Becky Stewart followed up her 33 dig performance with a team high 31. The Cowgirls struggled hitting only .146 (46-21-171) and recording nine total team blocks.
Wyoming will close out the weekend tomorrow with one single match. They will face the Kansas Jayhawks beginning at 5:30 p.m. MT

Author Conversation: Belle Yang: Forget Sorrow
Part of the Citi Series on Asia in America
This is the New York launch of a remarkable debut graphic memoir by author Belle Yang (Hannah is My Name, The Odyssey of a Manchurian, and Baba: A Return to China Upon My Father's Shoulders). The author started drawing her memoir during a fearful time in her life when she was forced to hide out in her parents' home to escape an abusive ex-boyfriend turned stalker. During this time she discovered her Chinese parents' and grandparents' lives, a story of bitter struggle and loss but also one she and her family had come to recognize as Xuan to, "Forget sorrow," which is Belle Yang's Chinese name.
Belle Yang will be joined in a conversation by the artist, writer and designer Christine Norrie, whose work includes the graphic novel Cheat, the Oni Press series Hopeless Savages, and the teen drama Breaking Up.

>Racing>Happy Dopple Bock Day!
sent out message to get 12 hour results but no hear back. I know Don is back to walking due to too many electrolytes.

Sounds like tough conditions. Hopefully he can rehydrate and recover some with the cooler evening.
sorry to hear about buzzies foot problems..hopefully DB got back out quickly and can keep the weight right.

Bacon Party!
Hi guys!
Had a not-easy day, but was gaining ground as the sun was sinking - managing to get back on track for 12-hour goal and recapturing the lead .. then FOOT!
I've had issues - in both feet - and am pretty darn certain it's one of 3 things, 2 of which I don't want to mess with. Especially with goal slipping away (due to walking). Changed shoes and set out to walk one more lap to assess ... turned around with a big fat No-go. o.
Cleaning up and will go back to support.
MTA - can i shower with my socks on so I dont have to see my feet?
pace sera, sera
That is insane. 7:19 pace??? Is that really right?
MTA -- I'm an idiot. You mean 10:44 pm. What is the elapsed time?
So that puts DB on pace for 140 miles... unless he pulls off one of his trademark negative splits.
Feeling the growl again

The administration in the state capital did not repeat the mistake, which it had committed during Chhath festival, on Kartik Purnima.
The result was visible thousands of devotees gathered at various ghats of Patna amid tight security arrangements and took a dip in the Ganga without any chaos on Wednesday. Men, women and children in hundreds marched towards the ghats before sunrise with gathris (small bundle of clothes) to take a dip in the river. The crowd around Adalat Ghat near Ashok Rajpath swelled in leaps and bounds with devotees pouring in from across the city.
By 4am, a queue towards the banks of the Ganga had thousands of people. A strong contingent of police kept a close eye on everyone visiting the ghat. The police officials directed the devotees to maintain calm and keep moving.
Dheere dheere line mein chale aur dhairya banaye rakhe. Aur ruke nahin. (Please move slowly in a queue without stopping), a constable was heard announcing through a microphone at the entrance of the narrow Adalat Ghat lane leading to the Ganga. It was in this lane where 17 people died following a stampede on the third day of Chhath festival.
The devotees, however, did not want to talk about the misfortune that had struck the ghat during the Chhath. For them, it was the Gods wrath.
The gods had that day (third day of Chhath) got angry. But we cannot stop worshipping Him. I have come here to seek forgiveness for the sins I have committed. It is a must to take a dip in the Ganga on Kartik Purnima, Siwan resident Usha Devi (48) said.
The administration and the police, too, left no stone unturned to ensure security for the devotees. City superintendent of police Jayant Kant was at a tent since dawn. Police personnel paraded all along the sandy stretch, while many were stationed along the bri-dge connecting the riverbank. We are alert and announcing the dos and donts that the devotees should maintain. National Disaster Response Force teams are patrolling on boats. The ghat has been properly illuminated, an officer in the rank of the deputy superintendent of police said.
Small-time traders make hey during this time of the year by selling items required for the puja. One of them was seen selling plastic bottles for Rs 5. People want to collect the holy water. I am selling bottles for them. Its a kind of social service, he said.
Another trader was seen with a goat. A policeman patrolling the area explained: On Kartik Purnima, many people undertake daan (donation). The trader has bought the goat for around Rs 500. With devotees coming in, there would be many keen on buying the animal at a higher price. It will be then given as a daan to the Ganga. Once it is done, the trader will catch the goat and re-sell it. If luck favours, he will make Rs 5,000 today and the goat will ultimately stay with him.
We hope the trader also takes a dip in the Ganga!

In an investor briefing last night, BHP ferrous and coal head
"[But] that said, we are very aware that as the largest seaborne producer, bringing on excess capacity in a falling market will have a negative effect on price, and we will be the ones who suffer most from having done so," he said. "Generally we look at long-term prices but for short-term decisions – particularly where you have to invest capital – we look at the market."
Analysts had questioned why BHP cancelled that piece of its broader Caval Ridge project in August given it comprised 31 per cent of the tonnage and only 11 per cent of capital cost.
Mr Randolph said the miner was now focusing on getting production from its BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance mines back to normal levels after losing an estimated 8 million tonnes due to industrial action in the last financial year.
He said the cost of production at BMA was running about 50 per cent higher than its BHP Billiton Mitsui Alliance and Illawarra Coal mines, but that could come down by a third by the end of this year. That indicates costs at BMA been averaging around $US150 a tonne, versus around $US100 a tonne at BHP's other coking coal mines.
The current quarter's contract price for premium hard coking coal is around $US170 a tonne, but the spot price has fallen to $US148 a tonne, placing pressure on higher-cost Australian producers. BMA closed its Norwich Park and Gregory mines this year because costs had risen so far that they were bleeding cash.
Despite that, it aims to boost its Queensland coal production, including shares owned by joint-venture partners, to 66 million tonnes by 2015 from 44 million tonnes last year through its expansion projects and higher volumes from existing mines.
But in recent months, it has become increasingly pessimistic on the outlook for its coking coal business. Mr Randolph said the pessimism was related to the high costs of Australian coal production rather than a change in BHP's view on long-term market dynamics.
He said the rise in Queensland royalty rates would push up costs by an additional $US4 a tonne."We weren't particularly pleased with what happened in Queensland," he said. "The general trend on royalties is not a positive one and I wouldn't say governments have been listening all that closely [to companies]."

On Boxing Day 2012, over 18,000 unique visitors came here from features on Hacker News and Lifehacker. That was a month's traffic in one day, which has not yet been matched.
I'd like to change that. It's not the popularity or the pageviews I'm after; it's the opportunity to help people with something they want to achieve.
Traffic to one particular post about Dropbox has remained strong, and I get orders of magnitude more views and feedback from that article than the rest of the site combined. In truth, the site as a whole has languished.
Going forward, I will focus on producing instructive, useful articles that help the reader solve a problem or learn something new. Solutions that have helped me, my customers, and friends will be offered to hopefully help others with similar needs.
Other topics may still show up here, but starting today, the focus for this site is on technology solutions to everyday problems. Proceeding with full commitment, I have removed all other types of posts previously published here.

All The Single Ladies (Are Getting Politicians Excited)!
I don't have much money to donate, so I assume politicians don't care about me personally. But I guess I forgot about various "voting blocs" and how I'm probably listed on a sheet somewhere as "female," "middle-class" and maybe "shrieking feminist harpy." Even though — obviously — all Latinos or veterans or parents don't vote the same way, politicians and their henchmen know they can reach these groups by appealing to issues that are important to them. And according to The New York Times, the voting bloc du jour, the one that could make a difference in the 2014 midterm elections, are single women.
A little refresher course for those of you who were zoned out in American History class: midterm elections don't get the same turnout that presidential elections do (when single women "overwhelmingly" supported Obama). In fact, the Times notes, turnout is especially low during midterms among minorities and unmarried women, meaning the people who are making the decisions about YOUR elected officials are "older, whiter and more conservative."
That is great news for, well, conservatives. So the Democratic Party is hustling to get it together to appeal to women, particularly single women, before November. This is a huge voting bloc, given that 56 million adult women over the age of 18 aren't married, according to the Times. Political campaigns are trying to target these women on a whole host of issues that they care about, which can span everything from education (single moms) to reproductive rights and pay equity (The Frisky staff) to the economy. Of course married women care about all of these same issues, too. But for reasons I don't quite understand, unmarried women seem less networked into the political process. I do think the overwhelmingly male face of politics — as well as the overwhelmingly male face of the news talk shows — gives some single women the impression we aren't welcome.
It saddens me on a deep level that politicians focus on single women when they want our votes, as if our influence is only important when it can give them something. Alas, maybe voting in the midterms will get more single women engaged? "Older, whiter and more conservative" voters are most definitely not who I want speaking for me.

text: TSR, Inc., (Nasdaq: TSRI) a provider of computer programming consulting services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended February 29, 2012. For the quarter ended February 29th, revenue increased 18.3% from the same quarter last year to $11.1 million. Net loss attributable to TSR increased from $67,000 in the prior year quarter to $93,000 in the current quarter. Additionally, net loss per share increased from $0.03 to $0.05. Joe Hughes, CEO, stated, "Our revenue increase of 18.3% for the third quarter was overshadowed by an increase of 38.8% in the net loss for the period. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from the average number of consultants on billing with customers increasing from 238 in the quarter ending February 28, 2011 to 270 in the quarter ending February 29, 2012. The increase in the net loss was primarily attributable to an increase of cost of sales as a percentage of revenue and also to the increased expenses associated with hiring and training junior technical recruiters. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue resulted from far more demanding client specifications, billing rate reductions and other competitive pressures. These increased competitive pressures have negatively impacted our gross profit percentages, which pressures were evidenced in the current quarter by rate and margin reductions at several of our major financial services customers." Certain statements contained herein, including statements as to the Company's plans, are forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following: the impact of adverse economic conditions on the Company's business; risks relating to the competitive nature of the markets for contract computer programming services; the extent to which market conditions for the Company's contract computer programming services will continue to adversely affect the Company's business; the concentration of the Company's business with certain customers; uncertainty as to the Company's ability to maintain its relations with existing customers and expand its business; the impact of changes in the industry and the Company's ability to adapt to changing market conditions and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The other day, I stopped by a local pet supply store to pick up a few things for our dogs. As I zoomed through the aisles on my lunch break from work, something caught my eye. I stopped in my tracks and took a few steps backwards. "Are those Wolfhounds?" I asked the elderly woman holding the handles of two leashes attached to the gargantuan dogs. "Yes, they are. Scottish Wolfhounds," she replied pleasantly with a thick Scottish accent. The dogs were truly magnificent.
"I don't think I've ever seen them in person before!" I exclaimed. "May I pet them?"
The woman nodded her consent and went on to explain that the breed was quite timid. This was confirmed when I held out my hand for them to sniff. Even though I had squatted down in a position of submission, both dogs retreated behind their "mother."
An elderly man walked up with a big smile on his face.
"I see you've met Bunt and Bess!" he said to me.
The couple, who I learned in our conversation were husband and wife, had recently come over from Scotland to visit their grandson. The grandson was stationed at Fort Hood, and he and his wife had just had a new baby. The couple had come over from Scotland for an extended visit to meet their new grandson and spend time with their grandson and his family. They were, in the purest sense of the word, a lovely couple. Just lovely. The dogs, curious, started to warm up to me and allowed me to pet them. The man and wife told me how they were from Champion bloodlines and that the male, Bunt, had recently championed in a national contest. They told me their names were chosen for the woman's parents, long gone, as Bess (Elizabeth) and Bunt (John) were her parents' nicknames.
"Do you have time for a story?" the man asked me.
Of course I had time for a story. I always have time for a story. Stories are the rich gravy on life's mashed potatoes. The man told me that the breeder of the Wolfhounds was highly sought after, worldwide. He said the breeder always had more demand than supply and was extremely choosy over to whom she sold her dogs. The man went on to tell me about one particular application that was initially denied, as both potential owners worked full time.
"The breed needs a lot of social interaction with their family. They don't do well being left alone for hours at a time", he explained.
The breeder had called the woman in question, explaining why she would not sell any dogs to her.
"Oh, but I work from my home!" the potential owner clarified. The breeder asked her what she did and was told that the woman was an author.
The breeder agreed to sell the woman two dogs if the woman agreed to work the Wolfhounds into one of her books. Hence, the Harry Potter series features Wolfhounds in its books, as the woman in question, initially denied purchase, was J.K. Rowling! Bess and Bunt were from the same bloodline! I was just absolutely amazed, and felt so lucky and enriched from this encounter.
Always take the time for a story, and when you have the opportunity, share that story with others.

Amazon 3D Printing Store
The Coolest Objects For Sale in Amazon's New 3D Printing Store
Source: Amazon
We proudly present this article from our partners at ReadWrite.
By Adriana Lee
If 3D printing doesn't take off, it won't be for Amazon's lack of trying. Last year, it created a dedicated retail section to sell 3D printers and materials. Now it's at it again, this time pushing actual 3D-printed goods — and feeding an ongoing debate about the role 3D printing should play in our lives.
Amazon's new 3D Printing Store launched Monday with a distinct focus on people who want to buy, not build, 3D-printed wares. Amazon already had a "3D Printers & Supplies" department that sells 3D printers, plastic filament, parts, accessories, and software — stuff that will only be of interest to you if you want your own minifactory in your house.
Shoppers can now browse through more than 200 3D-printed toys, jewelry, home goods, and other tchotchkes from vendors like Sculpteo, Mixee Labs, and others — no printer required.
Some items sold in Amazon's store are customizable — like Mixee Labs' toy figurines — while others have set designs, but offer a range of colors or exceedingly intricate detail.
3D printers — desktop machines that can produce three-dimensional objects from digital plans — have a direct and obvious appeal for designers, inventors, hobbyists, and other "makers." They've been less successful with mainstream shoppers, however.
If there's one thing Amazon knows, it's shopping. The site makes it easy for customers to discover, search, and preview products (even in 360 degrees), while letting vendors offer their own wares by enrolling as an Amazon seller.
If Amazon does this right, it could capture profits on both sides of the 3D-printing business, by helping equip would-be creators and by providing them a place to sell their wares.
3D printing has been a subject of fascination for the technology sector and maker communities, but it's still a hard sell for your average consumer. That's one reason 3D-printing marketplaces shifted focus from offering 3D-printer blueprints to stores with completed products. Early pioneers Shapeways, Thingiverse, and 3DLT got in on that action, inspiring newer competitors such as Threeding, Layer by Layer, and Cuboyo. Even online auction site eBay and Etsy, the sellers' site for handmade goods, sell 3D-printed items.
With Amazon plunging further into this niche, it could spark mainstream interest in 3D-printed goods. That may ultimately be good for all players.
Some of our favorites in the new store:

Thread: M5 F10...The Best M5 ever?
M5 F10...The Best M5 ever?
Andre (Advevo) tested the F10 M5. Advevo has extensive professional racing experience.
Review (by Advevo himself):
The New M5
This is a big car and you have enough space to sit perfectly in the back seat. No problems fitting per purpose. It has 560 hp and it can go sideways ohhh yes (see video)!
The throttle response is exceptionally good for a turbo engine. I have driven myself Mitsu Evos and ! compare those to the M5 there is hardly any lag at ail.
The driveability of the new engine is much better than the old model. Much easier to use in everydai
The gearbox is also outstanding, In comfort setting you almost feel no shifting. But in the extreme s should be.
The new rear diff is always looking for extra grip, If you're almost out of the drift the new diff with e than you can counter steer back. You may see this as negative if you are looking to drift, but for grif
Is its weight a problem? The car has 560hp and can cope with the weight easily. Ok you feel the wei the settings on extreme you can have loads of fun with this car also in cornering.
Is the M5 worth the money? Yes, you get a lot of car for the money. The car is equipped very well fr engine and you can even carry 4 people.
The car has lots of comfort and you can play hooligan if you wish with all the M buttons. The car givf sure!

One plane trip = open eyes
The international study tour program was developed in the late 1980s to engage Queens students in the world around them. Today, a majority of undergraduates go on an international study trip before graduation.
- Faculty-led study tours in Asia, Africa, Europe and South America
- International internships complimenting diverse areas of study
- Language immersion programs
- Semester abroad at one of 150 partner universities in 50 countries
- Education students in Tanzania taught history, math, English and more to primary and secondary students.
- History students in London will learn about Modernism by studying turn of the century English fictional characters and researching related sites.
- Students joining the service trip to Yap typically help with environmental monitoring in Micronesian villages.
By the end of her sophomore year Rebecca Evridge had never been on an airplane. Now, after a summer study tour, she has lived in Paris for a month and traveled to Ireland and England as well.
Evridge was one of five McColl School of Business students invited to attend the École Supérieure des Sciences Commerciales d'Angers (ESSCA) in France over the summer. As part of the program, students live on their own in Paris, navigating the public transportation system each day, eating in unfamiliar restaurants, and becoming acclimated to Paris while also taking classes at an elite international business school.
She may have started out nervous about traveling, but isn't anymore. "One of the best things about this trip was being given the opportunity to travel to places I've always dreamed about," said the accounting major from Knoxville, Tenn. "Overall we had the best of both worlds, as we had the experience of European learning while living and touring around Europe for a month," Evridge said.
Immersive education
This was the first summer Queens offered the ESSCA opportunity, and Professor Steven Cox wanted this inaugural experience to be immersive for students Evridge, Lainey Coplin, Maggie Hill, Kristin Diemer, and Jonathan Arbogast.
- Dr. Steven Cox, McColl School of Business
The trip fostered self-sufficiency and combined cultural exposure with an educational experience idiosyncratic to the region. "They had an excellent opportunity to gain an appreciation of how people from other cultures think about things," said Cox, who serves as the associate dean of the undergraduate business program. "If these students do business overseas they will understand the importance of cultural awareness."
All business majors were eligible, but the applicants had to be highly motivated and prepared to work hard in the available courses in marketing, international finance or organizational behavior. Cox noted that those chosen for the opportunity demonstrated both high grade point averages and strong leadership skills.
Students attended six hours of class each day, all taught in English by European professors, alongside classmates from Russia, Mexico, Australia, and Taiwan among other places. On weekends, and before returning home after the four-week intensive course, the students toured other parts of Europe including Ireland, England, and Italy.
Networking abroad
Studying and traveling with classmates from around the world also gave the Queens students a head start on their international business networks. "As a result of the program, I will now be able to call up new friends around the world," Evridge said.
Plus, the five students now have even more competitive resumes, a fact that will help when applying for premiere summer internships after their junior years (such as the one at Ford Motor Company).
Evridge, for one, plans to use her new knowledge of the many differences culturally and in business as a stepping stone, especially when working for an international company. "Overall, I feel we learned how important it is to familiarize oneself in international business as our global economy is constantly changing."

Andover picked themselves up from two consecutive defeats to put together arguably their best team performance of the season to defeat high flying Bournemouth in a crucial game at London Road.
Entering the business end of the season, Andover knew they had to win to stretch the gap between them and the relegation zone and the key players fired to produce a stunning victory.
Mike Adams elected to bat on another splendid London Road track and opener Ali Hooper smashed the first ball for four butt the other end, Dave Taylor was on the receiving end of a rip snorting delivery from Jones and was superbly taken in the slips by Kitson.
Byron Haycock was desperate for a big score after a couple of quiet weekends he and Hooper piled on 70 runs in quick time as Haycock tried to get big hitting Hooper on strike.
The powerful opener blazed his way to 49, hitting nine fours then Glyn Treagus kept the scoreboard ticking over until the final ten overs.
When Haycock was dismissed for a brilliant 59 and the score on 175-3 quick runs was the order of the day. However, some superb death bowling by Bournemouth made this very difficult for the town side.
Treagus was eventually dismissed for an extremely well crafted 68 then Robbie Hadfield closed on 20 not out, batting sensibly to see the home side to a slightly above par 222-6 off their 50 overs.
With a decent score on the board, Andover knew they had to bowl well to round off a good day and they did not disappoint.
Dave Taylor was the pick with an unbelievable opening spell which reaped only eight runs from his first eight overs.
The paceman was unplayable as he repeatedly beat the bat and often was too good to find the edge. At the other end, skipper Mike Adams went through the pain barrier to produce an excellent opening spell.
With only 25 runs coming from the first 15 overs, the pressure was mounting and young debutant Max Romer-Lee bowled Haywood with a superb yorker.
The 16-year old bowled with consistency and good movement through the air, causing the batsmen all sorts of problems. Key man Kitson proved to be a handful until Adams brought himself on and within three balls had him walking back to the pavilion for a well-made 55.
Treagus then out-foxed three in his ten overs, including the dangerous overseas player Brad Schuliman while at the other end, Max Souter was weaving his own kind of magic with an explosive spell that ripped out the heart of the middle order, thanks to some incredibly sharp work from Hadfield behind the stumps.
The glovesman took two fantastic catches standing up to the stumps plus a legside stumping off a wide, to round off a great day for the club stalwart.
Taylor came back to end with 1-14 but injured number 11, Anschuman Singh hobbled out with a runner only to blaze the ball to all parts to set up a tense finish.
With 24 required off the final two overs Singh wielding his and the first three balls of Knight's penultimate over found their way to the boundary. The fourth ball was edged down to third man where head coach Dave Taylor unleashed a rocket arm to a gleeful Hadfield who took to bails off to complete a run out and present Andover with the win they so richly deserved, by 12 runs.

Brad Keselowski was the class of the field on Saturday in the Sta-Green 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as he led 152 laps and was able to become the first pole winner of the season to also win the race. It was the second win of the 2014 season for Keselowski and the 29th of his career in the Nationwide Series.
The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford held off Kyle Busch late in the race. Busch was Keselowski's main competition throughout the 200 lap race.
"It was actually very hard fought there at the end," said Keselowski in victory lane. "I think Kyle was just a little bit faster…I didn't think I was going to be able to hold him off."
Busch's charge to try to win was slowed on lap 188 when he and the lap car of James Buescher made some contact.
Finishing in third behind Keselowski and Busch was Matt Kenseth. Kyle Larson finished fourth, rookie Chris Buescher fifth, Elliott Sadler sixth, and Brian Scott seventh. Rookie Chase Elliott could not get past Scott late and finished eighth with Trevor Bayne ninth, Regan Smith tenth, and rookie Ryan Reed 11th as the last lead lap car.
Four drivers were vying for the $100,000 Nationwide Dash4Cash bonus by being the highest finishing driver. Regan Smith earned the money in his No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet with his tenth place finish. Ryan Reed came up just short in 11th. Ryan Sieg finished 18th and Jeremy Clements 20th.
Qualifying for next week's shot at the $100,000 Dash4Cash money were Smith, and then the top three Nationwide Series championship eligible drivers. They were Chris Buescher, Elliott Sadler, and Brian Scott.
Brad Keselowski started from the pole but Kyle Busch passed him on the inside on lap 1 in Turn 2. On lap 4 rookie Dylan Kwasniewski made contact into Trevor Bayne when his car got loose and on lap 5 the first caution flew when Trevor Bayne spun due to a flat left-rear tire from the contact. Bayne would loose a lap.
The race restarted on lap 10 and a few laps later Brendan Gaughan made contact with the outside wall of Turn 4. On the lap 13 the second caution flew for the stopped car of Josh Wise. The mechanical issue forced him to finish 38th of the 40 cars. Bayne got the free pass back onto the lead lap.
The race restarted on lap 18 and Busch led until lap 35 when Keselowski passed Busch in lap traffic. At lap 50 the top five was Keselowski, Busch, Matt Kenseth, Chase Elliott, and Kyle Larson.
Jake Crum ran out of gas on lap 76 and coasted to pit road. He finished in 31st. Chase Elliott also coasted to pit road without power on lap 81 and had trouble getting his car refired which put him a lap down during the green flag pit cycle. Keselowski and Busch pitted on lap 83 which gave the lead to Trevor Bayne but Keselowski would pass Bayne for the lead on lap 85 and then Bayne pitted on lap 86.
The third caution flew on lap 93 for debris. There were only eight cars on the lead lap and Ryan Reed got the free pass in ninth.
On the lap 98 restart Kyle Larson got into second and Kyle Busch dropped to fifth. At lap 100 the top five was Keselowski, Larson, Kenseth, Sadler, and Busch.
On lap 102 Chase Elliott got into Paul Menard which forced Menard into the outside wall off Turn 4. His car had significant damage on the right-rear and the fourth caution period came out. Menard would end up finishing in 19th after being on the lead lap at the time of the incident. Trevor Bayne got the free pass once again to get back on the lead lap. Also Kyle Busch was the only lead lap car to pit under the caution.
On the lap 107 restart Kyle Larson took the lead from Keselowski in Turn 1 and coming off Turn 2 the caution was displayed for the fifth time, this time for a multi-car accident. Brian Scott got into the back of Elliott Sadler off Turn 2 and sent Sadler into a spin. Scott was then tagged from behind by Ryan Preece and Austin Theriault and also spun. James Buescher made some contact into Scott and Mike Bliss and Dakoda Armstrong also were collected. Everyone would continue except for Bliss. Armstrong also had a lot of damage and finished 30th and Bliss was 32nd. Chris Buescher got the free pass on this caution.
The race restarted on lap 113 and Larson held the lead. On lap 115 Ty Dillon was trying to position himself for the next free pass but got loose under the lead lap car of Ryan Reed and almost wrecked both of them. At the front of the field Brad Keselowski took the lead from Larson on lap 119.
The sixth caution flew on lap 139 for debris in Turn 3. The top five at the time was Keselowski, Busch, Kenseth, Larson, and Smith. Chase Elliott got the free pass and the cars of Brendan Gaughan, Landon Cassill, Austin Theriault, JJ Yeley, and James Buescher took the wave around to make it 16 lead lap cars.
Chris Buescher stayed on track to inherit the lead and off pit road Keselowski was ahead of Busch and Kenseth as those three drivers took two tires. Brian Scott took no tires to restart in fifth, and Kyle Larson took four tires to restart from sixth on lap 146.
Keselowski immediately took the lead and Chris Buescher dropped to fourth by the end of the first lap. From there the race ran green and the fight for the lead was heating up as Keselowski and Busch caught JJ Yeley and James Buescher. Keselowski got by both on lap 188 and Busch knew he had to stick with him and off Turn 2 got into the back of Buescher which almost caused Buescher to loose control and crash into Busch down the backstretch.
The near miss did cost Busch time though to Keselowski. On lap 197 James Buescher ran out of gas and on lap 198 another wave around car also ran out of gas. The caution did not come out as Buescher and Austin Theriault were able to get to pit road.
Keselowski then cruised to his second win of the season and Busch finished second. Other notables in the field included Ty Dillon in 12th, Dylan Kwasniewski 13th, Ryan Preece 14th, Landon Cassill 15th as the last car one lap down. Brendan Gaughan was 16th, JJ Yeley 17th, Austin Theriault 21st, and James Buescher 22nd. Brennan Newberry made his Nationwide Series debut driving for Viva Motorsports and finished in 24th.
Regan Smith continues to lead the points by eight over Elliott Sadler and 13 over Chase Elliott. Ty Dillon is 34 points back in fourth and Brian Scott is 51 points back in fifth. Trevor Bayne is sixth, Brendan Gaughan seventh, Chris Buescher eighth, James Buescher ninth, and Ryan Reed tenth.
The next race on the schedule is Saturday night, July 19th at Chicagoland Speedway.Tags: Brad Keselowski, Brian Scott, Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher, Elliott Sadler, Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth, Motorsports, NASCAR Nationwide Series, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Regan Smith, Ryan Reed, Sta-Green 200, Team Penske

You have probably heard the stories about how "magnetic resonance" is fundamentally different from "magnetic induction".
These stories are misleading. Wireless power transmitters based on "magnetic resonance" and "magnetic induction" both use coils, AC currents, and magnetic fields. Both techniques induce currents in a receiver coil using the physics principles you learmed at high school. The difference is in operating points and the addition of flux lenses (auxillary coils) that help extend the range.
The Qi interface standard allows manufacturers of wireless chargers freedom to choose their own technique. Qi products are not limited to magentic induction. It is perfectly possible to make Qi-compatible wireless chargers that use magnetic resonance techniques.
You can see that demonstrated in this YouTube video:
The wireless power consortium established a global standard, called Qi. This standard leaves room for innovation, and room to adapt products to the needs of many different consumers and markets.
Qi is not about promoting a specific technology. You can choose your own implementation and you will not be locked in a proprietary solution.
