Sullivan Higdon ready to kick off Chiefs marketing

As the new advertising agency of record for the Kansas City Chiefs, Sullivan Higdon & Sink's first big task will be planning this year for the Chiefs' 50th anniversary in Kansas City.
John January, executive creative director of Sullivan Higdon, said it will work on other strategic marketing initiatives as well.
"It's not often you get an opportunity to do work for such an iconic brand," said January, who described himself as one of many rabid Chiefs fans at Sullivan Higdon. "There's a lot of excitement throughout the agency."
Sullivan Higdon has about 50 employees each in Kansas City and Wichita, as well as an office in Washington.
Most major-league sports teams do much of their marketing in-house. Bernstein-Rein previously did media buying and other marketing projects for the Chiefs, but it never was agency of record, President Steve Bernstein said.
The last project the agency did was the "New body, same soul" campaign marking the renovations to Arrowhead Stadium in 2010.
"When they call again, we'll be happy to help again," Bernstein said.
Paul writes about legal affairs and advertising and marketing.

LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:
As economic models for the news business crack apart, media executives from competing outlets are sharing their headaches behind closed doors at one of the nation's leading journalism schools. NPR's David Folkenflik was recently allowed to observe, and offers us this look at the quest to find solutions.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK: Up on the sixth floor of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, these folks sure don't sound like those arrogant leaders of media giants that we keep hearing about. Richard Porter, director of news content for BBC World News, delivers an update on his efforts to drive some of its millions of TV viewers to its Web sites.
Mr. RICHARD PORTER (Director of News Content, BBC World News): I'm past the end of the beginning. I don't think I'm greatly much further than that.
FOLKENFLIK: Porter is laying out his challenge to 18 other media executives from outlets large and small.
Mr. PORTER: The marketing and creative teams that I work with have really, really got this, and bought into it big time.
FOLKENFLIK: Among those present are people from news organizations that also have an international reach: the Associated Press, the New York Times, and Time.com. Long-time management consultant Doug Smith says it's pretty clear why these hard-nosed news executives are willing to share their secrets.
Mr. DOUG SMITH (Management Consultant; Director, Sulzberger News Media Executive Leadership Program, Columbia University): It's chaos out there. There's definitely a sense of terror.
FOLKENFLIK: Smith is the executive director of the Sulzberger News Media Executive Leadership Program at Columbia, now in its third year. The program helps news companies develop targeted strategies for change. A few months ago, the Christian Science Monitor became the first nationally distributed newspaper to scrap its daily edition in favor of its Web site. It was considered a radical step for the esteemed, but wilting publication, worked out right in front of its peers with Smith's genial guidance.
Mr. SMITH: You're seeing industry change before your eyes, and I think that that makes it rational to say we all want to find a more sustainable future to some degree. Let's find it together.
FOLKENFLIK: They adhere to Las Vegas rules: What's said at the j school stays at the j school. One of this year's fellows is Ray Pierce, vice president for circulation at the New York Times. Pierce says the Vegas rules make him comfortable as he shapes his approach to distributing the times on electronic readers.
Mr. RAY PIERCE (Vice President for Circulation, New York Times): We started the program. A lot of the goals were sort of lofty statements and sounded wonderful. And what Doug and his team do is they force you to focus on no, okay, that's great. But what are you trying to deliver?
ABC News president David Westin knew what he wanted his new executives to remedy. Budget pressures over the last two decades have forced the network to cut back its coverage of foreign news.
Mr. DAVID WESTIN (President, ABC News): Ultimately, we want to put on good stories, wherever they're from, the most interesting, most important stories we can find. But we have to find them. And I was worried that the cost of the major bureaus was getting in the way of our finding those good stories.
FOLKENFLIK: The standard for the gold-pated bureau, Westin says, was set under Kennedy-White-House-spokesman-turned-Paris-bureau-chief Pierre Salinger.
Mr. WESTIN: And at that point, I am told we had both a wine cellar and a full-time chef.
FOLKENFLIK: Those days are long gone. Now you see a cadre of younger, less familiar reporters.
Ms. KAREN RUSSO (Reporter): I'm Karen Russo in Surat, India. The global economic crisis has reached the…
FOLKENFLIK: They're one person bands, armed with light digital cameras, and they file stories and raw footage for newscasts, radio, Web casts and pod casts from eight spots around the world where the network would otherwise have no presence.
New media guru Jeff Jarvis admires the innovation, but he says that kind of change may not be radical enough. Jarvis heads the interactive news program at the City University of New York's Graduate School of Journalism, also here in Manhattan. Jarvis praises the Monitor's decision to kill its daily edition, but asked why the Boston Globe, another participant in the Columbia program, doesn't also consider stopping the presses.
Mr. JEFF JARVIS (New Media Expert): If all we're doing is incrementally fixing problems in the current old models, that's futile and fatal. Saving a little more money or making a few more pennies is not going to bring news into this next generation. We have to reinvent journalism and the news business for a new, profitable future.
FOLKENFLIK: But Columbia's Doug Smith says it's unrealistic to think of changing an entire industry. His own prescription involves looking at each news outlet individually. He says you have to fix one company at a time.
Mr. SMITH: Yeah, I think it's terrific when there are panels and forums and opinion pieces and things that throw great ideas into the mix. My experience is that it takes more than ideas to create a sustainable future. You have to implement those ideas.
FOLKENFLIK: Smith says they've thrived by turning competitors into collaborators at Columbia. And ABC's David Westin suggests you think this way about the news business during these tough economic times: It's much more like playing golf than tennis - you compete against the course.
David Folkenflik, NPR News, New York.
WERTHEIMER: Tomorrow, David reports on ABC's efforts to strike a new tone for a digital audience.

Hello everyone, this is simply a nice little directory of all the other things I've done in various parts of the internet:
My deviantart- Exactly what it says on the tin. A lot of my older art is on there if you look hard enough (and feel like embarrassing me). Also memes.
Embers of a fire gone out- My art blog. Far less cuttered than my DA, it acts as a portfolio of sorts.
Twitter- Though I forget to update it for months at a time.
Fandomstuck Hivefled- Askblog for a personification of a fanfic. At least as cool as it sounds.
Brothelstuck- I gotta do something with this AU tbh.

Student snags $75,000 in scholarships
A Lacombe Composite High School graduate won't have to worry about footing the bill for her university education.
Michelle Liu said earning $75,000 in scholarships will allow her to stay involved in her community and focus on her studies.
"The cost of university tuition, fees and books is high for anyone so incurring debt is a possibility," said Liu.
Liu earned the Schulich Leader Scholarship worth $60,000 and the 2013 University of Alberta Chancellor's Entrance Citation Scholarship worth $15,000 both over four years.
The Schulich scholarships are awarded annually to students who demonstrate excellence in academics and leadership and who plan to study science, technology, engineering or mathematics.
Liu will start in the University of Alberta's engineering program when classes commence next month. She plans to work in the biomedicine field.
The 18-year-old said she is inspired by her peers who are doing good things in the world.
She wants to make a difference in the world.
Liu is a talented pianist who has performed several times with the Canadian University College orchestra. She was 12 when she first played with the orchestra at a benefit concert to raise money to replace aging pianos. She plays regularly at churches in Lacombe and has helped elementary students in musical theatre programs.
Music, said Liu, taught her patience, dedication and diligence.
Liu said she encourages other students to volunteer in the community for the right reasons because self-recognition should a backseat to humility. Liu said passion is important when taking on leadership roles in the community.
"You're doing it because you really want to help others and you put the interest of others above yourself," said Liu. "I think will help you stand out more as a leader as a true leader than just a leader who looks good on a piece of paper."
Liu's interest in medicine was piqued while volunteering at the Lacombe Hospital and Care Centre.

Blue Martini Fort Lauderdale
2432 E. Sunrise Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
(954) 653-2583
Can't let go of the days when every sexy woman in the club was tottering around on her spiked heels with a pinkish-hued cocktail sloshing to the edges of her martini glass? This swanky chain has dozens of specialty martinis with such Carrie Bradshaw-reminiscent choices as the Cosmopolitan and the aptly named Sex and the City (vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry, and pineapple juice). The best bet is the blue agave martini, a potent mix of Herradura Silver tequila, blue curaçao, agave nectar, and grapefruit juice.

Are You Overwhelming Your Spaces? Three Home Decor Ideas and Tips Written by DIY Home Decor on September 16, 2013. Posted in Homepage Did you know that the practice of interior design is thousands of years old? Ancient Egyptians, for example, decorated their huts with animal skins, sculptures, painted vases and a few furniture pieces. Today, house and home decorating is something many people are interested in, whether they live in a small apartment or a large house. Here are three home decorating tips for beginners so that your home can look fresh and magazine worthy in no time. 1. The Rule of Three… and More The rule of three is important to interior design, and it refers to layout and numbers.

Three DIY Home Decor Ideas You Will Love Using Written by DIY Home Decor on June 25, 2013. Posted in Homepage DIY decorating is the perfect way to transform your living spaces, while still keeping on a reasonable budget. Sometimes thinking up ideas for how to reuse objects or make something cheap look valuable is hard to do, however, so here are some DIY home decor ideas you can use in your own home, or pass along to others. First, did you ever think of salt as a decorative agent? This is a perfect project because it looks classy, yet is dirt cheap to reproduce. Find three tall glass containers, such as the type you can purchase at any dollar or discount store. Fill each container halfway with white sand. Find some non leafy branches in the backyard and clean them off in the sink. I recommend painting them brown or black. Stick one or two into each pile of salt. The result is a tastefully modern arrangement perfect f Continue Reading No Comments

The best way to get things moving would be to pick out a specific project you want to take on. Remember, DIY home decor is designed to be cost efficient and time saving. If the project you plan to work on is more advanced than your experience requires, it might be worth waiting until you can bring in a professional to handle to more intricate matters. Find something relatively easy or suitable for your skill set when it comes to Diy home decor and focus on that. Find something that you are not afraid to go for because, at the end of the day, if it is a poorly handled job you might end up paying twice the amount you spend simply to fix or redo it. Some suggestions on the Diy home decor project will be to thoroughly go through the planning phase. This will give you an idea of what you have, what you need, and what you can expect over the lifetime of the project. It will be important to understand timing, materials needed, and certain techniques to use. Try researching some DIY home decor websites, magazines or tutorial videos as well. These types of resources are all over the Internet and make it possible for, essentially, anyone to save some money while making their home a better place to live. Continue Reading No Comments

Four Useful Home Decor Ideas Written by DIY Home Decor on May 20, 2013. Posted in Homepage Ever find yourself looking at the same layout in your home everyday, and getting sick of it? Redoing your home decor is often a cheap and easy way to reinvigorate your home, and yourself as well. Surrounding yourself in a beautiful and fresh environment will do wonders for your everyday mood. Here are several home decor ideas to keep in mind while redoing your home look. First, DIY home decor is more popular than ever, and this stands for Do it Yourself. And why not? Long gone are the days when the only information about home design rested in the hands of professional home advisors. Today, it is possible to watch television shows, read articles, and find blogs that all give Diy home decor ideas, tips, and advice. During your adventure, if you ever start to feel stuck just remember there are a lot of resources out there just waiting for you to check them out. Second, a lot of interesting home decor ideas use the concept of recycling old things in order to create new and interesting pieces. This can be as simple as painting a boring table a bright new shade, or it can be a more daring choice to create a waste bin out of old magazines and rivets, or tables out of found food, et cetera. Though some accidents might result out of experimenting, ultimately you might arrive at something very original and conversation worthy to use in your home. Third, keep in mind that along with home decor ideas as far as decorating goes, storage and organization are also key for creating a beautiful and appealing home. If you have trouble keeping things in one place, try labeling drawers and really encouraging yourself to spend a few minutes everyday just putting things where you know they belong. Once you get used to it, you will find life a lot more manageable, and your new home decor additions are less likely to get covered up or hidden by clutter. Fourth, allow yourself to get creative with home decor ideas and try out things out of your comfort range. Painting stenciled designs onto wall paint? Putting up floating shelves? There are a lot of options available to people willing to try out the unusual. Continue Reading No Comments
Affordable and Tasteful Home Decor Ideas Written by DIY Home Decor on May 14, 2013. Posted in Homepage Some homeowners will go to great lengths and great expense to make their hones look as attractive as possible. However, when it comes to home decor ideas, homeowners have so many choices before them that it can be overwhelming. Considering the fact that each room is different, home decorators have to switch gears and thought patters as they go from room to room. Then again, there is the expense involved. When it comes to DIY home decor ideas, money is a huge factor that is often determines the type of home decor ideas certain homeowners will choose. However, homeowners do not have to spend a lot in order to come up with incredibly beautiful and highly effective home decor ideas. The bottom line is to settle on home decor ideas that are tasteful and befitting for each room and its purpose. One of the biggest mistakes of amateur home decorators is their tendency to go overboard with home decor ideas. While it may be cute to have a couple of figurines on the corner end table, filling the entire surface with toy soldiers and cast iron horses is a bit overdoing it. Too much of something beautiful will lead to a cluttered look just as easily as a table covered with clothes pins. Therefore, covering every vacant surface with some sort of nick nack just for the sake of covering it with nick nacks is unnecessary. In fact, the effectiveness of home decor ideas has as much to do with space as it does with filling space. As such, home decorators must strike a balance by placing decorative items strategically, while allowing other areas to remain free of decor. This balance also has a lot to do with taste; and when it comes to home decor ideas, there is nothing more important than good taste. While a velvet Elvis may look cool in the retro cheese game room, it certainly would not work well if hung above the living room mantle. If one were to do so, it would be an ideal example of poor taste. Of course, taste is relative, but it is safe to say that the average adult would agree that hanging a velvet Elvis over a fireplace is not exactly the best example of good taste. In fact, a jackalope head might be more tasteful than anything using a velvet Elvis. Continue Reading No Comments
Three Ideas for DIY Home Decor Written by DIY Home Decor on May 3, 2013. Posted in Homepage Are you interested in updating your home with DIY home decor? You are not alone. Many people are looking for home decor ideas for their home in order to give it a fresh and updated look. Here are several DIY home decor ideas for transforming your home in easy but noticeable ways. First, statement pieces. Just as a beautiful necklace can make or break a more simply designed outfit, a statement piece for your room can bring definition to otherwise plain decor. The ways to approach this are nearly endless. Many people opt for attractive and interesting lighting sets. This can range from a chandelier constructed out of overlapping pieces of plastic that vaguely resemble an opening flower, to floor to almost ceiling height paper lamps that brighten up corners. Also popular is a bold decorative piece that is placed on a table or on the floor if it is tall enough. I have seen everything from a miniature t rex skeleton, to a large bonsai plant, to a wall completely covered with various sized and framed mirrors. Second, new paint! It is an obvious step but sometimes one people overlook when it comes to Diy home decor. Popular right now is bold furniture colors for white or light tan painted rooms. A bright red dresser? A robin blue book case? When done right, the effect can be modern, stunning, and an affordable update to make. Third, interesting shelving! You would be surprised at how much definition eye catching shelving can add to a room, and this is very DIY home decor friendly. Floating shelves are especially popular right now because of the sleek look, flexibility in placement, and ability to make multiple surfaces into shelves. Square and step shelves, especially in bedrooms, are a popular choice. they amplify wall space while allowing you to display your prized possessions, anything from beautiful jars, to books, to wedding photos. Good luck with your DIY home decor, and remember that the goal is not to clutter your home, but to rejuvenate it! For every new piece you add, get rid of something outdated.

COOLIDGE'S countrymen may remember him more for his humor than for anything else. His was a dry wit, of course, never slipping into hilarity. Nor was it ever obscene. Lincoln was a master of the dirty joke; there is no record that Coolidge ever told one, though this is not to say that he did not or that he did not enjoy hearing one. In a way Coolidge's humor was like that of Will Rogers, his well-known contemporary. But Rogers, the professional humorist, worked carefully into his jokes, with a long windup before the "punch line," whereas Coolidge seemed to indulge in humor spontaneously. Coolidge never considered himself a jokester. His wit partook of the economy of Vermont -- he doled it out sparingly, always with a straight face. And it had to have a purpose other than mere amusement.
Coolidge did not point his humor at anyone, nor did he expect his fellow citizens to be humorous about him. He had a very large sense of the dignity of his office. When Will Rogers once imitated the President's twangy voice over the radio, the President took deep offense, and Rogers became persona non grata at the White House.

Fla. education chief resigns amid grading scandal
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida's education commissioner resigned Thursday amid allegations that he changed the grade of a charter school run by a major Republican donor during his previous job as Indiana's school chief.
Tony Bennett announced his immediate resignation at a news conference, saying that he while he did nothing wrong he didn't want to be a distraction to ongoing efforts to overhaul Florida's education system. Emails published by The Associated Press this week show that Bennett and his Indiana staff scrambled last fall to ensure Christel DeHaan's school received an A, despite poor 10th-grade algebra scores that initially earned it a C.
Bennett called that interpretation "malicious and unfounded" and said he would call for Indiana's inspector general to look into the allegations because he is certain he will be cleared of wrongdoing.
He said it would be unfair to Gov. Rick Scott "to have to spend my time and the State Board (of Education's) time, as things continue to trickle out, defending myself." He called the allegations "politically motivated." He said the decision to step down was his and that both Scott and former Gov. Jeb Bush had urged him to remain on the job.
"The decision to resign is mine and mine only because I believe that when this discussion turns to an adult we lose the discussion about making life better for children," Bennett said.
Bennett lost his re-election bid last November in Indiana. He was hired by Florida as its education commissioner, a nonelected post that pays $275,000, in December.
Scott, at an appearance in South Florida, said he had not fired Bennett or demanded his resignation.
"He let me know that he was going to resign. It was his decision," Scott said in Delray Beach. "Tony did a good job here. ... We're doing well in education." Scott refused to answer questions about the accusations against Bennett in Indiana. Bennett is the third education commissioner to leave office since Scott became governor in January 2011.
Bush, in a statement, praised Bennett for the work he had done in Indiana.
"Tony started every day with the focus of creating a system that would equip kids to achieve their God-given potential," he said.
The Florida State Board of Education will hold an emergency meeting Friday. Board members are expected to name Pam Stewart as an interim commissioner. Stewart, who is currently chancellor for the division of public schools, served as interim commissioner before Bennett was hired.
Stewart would take the helm at a critical time. Bennett was poised to decide whether Florida should remain with a national consortium or develop its own set of tests for new common core standards that are scheduled to take effect. Florida's Republican legislative leaders want the state to develop its own assessments.
Bennett's decision to resign came even though he had gotten support from board members after the initial reports from Indiana came out.
"I regret that Commissioner Bennett feels he must resign, but I respect his decision," said John Padget, a state board member from Key West. "He has spent countless hours focused on what's best for Florida's children, and I'll miss him."
Indiana uses A-F grades to determine which schools get taken over by the state and whether students seeking state-funded vouchers to attend private school need to first spend a year in public school. They also help determine how much state funding schools receive. A low grade also can detract from a neighborhood and drive homebuyers elsewhere.
After Bennett learned about a likely low grade for Christel House, he fired off an email last Sept. 12 to his chief of staff.
"This will be a HUGE problem for us," Bennett wrote. "They need to understand that anything less than an A for Christel House compromises all of our accountability work."
Bennett, who had been reworking Florida's grading system as the state's education commissioner, denied that DeHaan's Christel House Academy school received special treatment. He said earlier this week that discovering that the charter would receive a low grade raised broader concerns with grades for other "combined" schools -- those that included multiple grade levels -- across the state.
The revelations that Bennett and Indiana officials scrambled to change the grade of one school come amid a strong debate over Florida's grading system.
Bennett earlier this month pushed the Florida board that oversees education policy to adopt a "safety net" provision that prevented the grades of more than 500 schools from dropping more than one grade this year.
That provision was adopted by a 4-3 vote amid much debate and criticism that the move would "mask" the true performance of schools. Bennett's plan was even opposed by the education foundation set up by Bush. The grades released last week still showed a sharp drop in the number of A-rated schools and a jump in the number of F-rated ones.

Conflict of interest
A conflict of interest ( COI ) occurs when an individual or organization is involved in multiple interests, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation for an act in another. The presence of a conflict of interest is independent from the execution of impropriety. Therefore, a conflict of interest can be discovered and voluntarily defused before any corruption occurs. A widely used definition is: "A conflict of interest is a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgment or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest." [ 1 ] Primary interest refers to the principal goals of the profession or activity, such as the protection of clients, the health of patients, the integrity of research, and the duties of public office.
Insider trading = inside info wikipedia
Insider trading is the trading of a public company 's stock or other securities (such as bonds or stock options ) by individuals with access to non-public information about the company. In most countries insider trading based on inside information is illegal. This is because it is seen as being unfair to other investors who don't have access to the information. The authors of one study claim that illegal insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers, thus decreasing overall economic growth. [ 1 ] However, some economists have argued that insider trading should be allowed and could, in fact, benefit markets. [ 2 ] The trading by specific insiders such as employees may be permitted as long as it does not rely on material information that is not in the public domain, however most jurisdiction will require the reporting of such trading so that these can be monitored.

(updated below - Update II) PBS ' Frontline program on Tuesday night broadcast a new one-hour report on one of the greatest and most shameful failings of the Obama administration : the lack of even a single arrest or prosecution of any senior Wall Street banker for the systemic fraud that precipitated the 2008 financial crisis : a crisis from which millions of people around the world are still suffering. What this program particularly demonstrated was that the Obama justice department, in particular the Chief of its Criminal Division, Lanny Breuer, never even tried to hold the high-level criminals accountable. What Obama justice officials did instead is exactly what they did in the face of high-level Bush era crimes of torture and warrantless eavesdropping: namely, acted to protect the most powerful factions in the society in the face of overwhelming evidence of serious criminality.

Cameron family fortune made in tax havens | Politics
David Cameron 's father ran a network of offshore investment funds to help build the family fortune that paid for the prime minister's inheritance, the Guardian can reveal. Though entirely legal, the funds were set up in tax havens such as Panama City and Geneva, and explicitly boasted of their ability to remain outside UK tax jurisdiction. At the time of his death in late 2010, Ian Cameron left a fortune of £2.74m in his will , from which David Cameron received the sum of £300,000. Cameron and other cabinet members have recently suggested that they would be willing to disclose their personal tax filings amid growing scrutiny following the budget, but this would only shed light on annual sources of income rather than accumulated wealth or inheritance. The structure employed by Cameron senior is now commonplace among modern hedge funds , which argue that offshore status can help attract international investors.

Inbee Park shoots 67 to lead at the Kraft Nabisco Championship | Golf News
Inbee Park: One shot leader in first women's major of season
Inbee Park shot a day's best round of 67 to move into a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
The Korean star birdied six of her first 13 holes and played steadily in the closing stages to assume top spot at the first women's major of the 2013 season.
Park made it briefly to seven-under with a third straight birdie at the 13th, but stumbled at the 14th to make her only bogey of the round before finishing with a run of pars.
Last season's LPGA money list and stroke average winner has moved up to No 4 in the world after a fine start to the season, but her form in this tournament has been nothing to write home about, only twice finishing better than a tie for 26th.
She said: "I think it's because of this golf course. It plays pretty tough for me. I never had a good two days. This is something new on this golf course for me and I don't know. It's good.
"Obviously, I putted really good out there, especially on the back nine. The wind picked up, so it was tough on the back nine."
American Lizette Salas is Park's nearest challenger on six-under with Sweden's Caroline Hedwall and Giulia Sergas of Italy one stroke further back.
Overnight leader Jodi Ewart Shadoff of England could not match her opening day heroics but stayed bang in contention with a level-par round of 72 that left her four-under alongside Korea's Hee Young Park and Pornanong Phatlum of Thailand.

Music Tapes
Music Tapes
Though the Music Tapes are seen primarily as a spinoff from the Elephant 6 music collective, which includes bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, the Olivia Tremor Control, and the Apples in Stereo, they began as the brainchild of Julian Koster. As a 16-year-old, Koster conceived of his early recordings, like the "Silly Putty Symphony" as a surreal soundworld to escape into and share with friends. This motivation also fueled Koster's band at the time, Chocolate U.S.A., which eventually evolved into the Elephant 6 projects, including Neutral Milk Hotel, in which Koster performed as a multi-instrumentalist. When he decided to resurrect the Music Tapes in 1995, Koster enlisted the help of Jeremy Barnes, another member of Neutral Milk Hotel. Their first single, Please Hear Mr. Flight Control, was released three years later, and featured a variety of sounds and antique and contemporary instruments, as well as pop-up artwork. The 1999 debut album 1st Imaginary Symphony for Nomad had a similar aesthetic: a wax cylinder recorder and a wire recorder were used to record it, and a supplemental comic book was also included. 2008 saw the release of the like-minded Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes, which took nearly nine years to record, and 2012 heralded the arrival of the Purim's Shadows (The Dark Tours the World) EP and the full length Mary's Voice. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Voter Mobilization Swells in Long Island
By Make the Road New York Staff / Make the Road New York
Since MRNY began our non-partisan coalition voter engagement work in Long Island last year, we have contacted nearly 20,000 voters of color, helping increase electoral participation in the areas in which we are working by almost 17%. Now we're looking ahead to other elections where our communities' voices need to be heard, and registering, engaging, and educating working-class voters of color, who for too long have been ignored by Long Island's elected officials.
Through our project, the Long Island Civic Engagement Table (LICET), an innovative partnership with New York Communities for Change, Central American Refugee Center, the Long Island Immigrant Alliance, and others, we are holding government accountable to communities of color, and are nurturing grassroots electoral participation and leadership.
In May, we set our collective sights on Brentwood's critically important School Board elections. Although Brentwood is Long Island's largest school district and represents an overwhelmingly Latino and African-American community, the school board has been at the center of recent controversies over racial discrimination by school board members. LICET organized a Get-Out-the-Vote effort and a candidate forum, attended by 150 community members, where community representatives questioned candidates directly about issues of diversity, school finances, and the school environment.
With the election results in, for the first time in Brentwood's history the majority of the School Board's members will be people of color. This is a remarkable achievement, and we look forward to working with the new Board to make the school system more responsive to the needs of Brentwood's diverse community.
We still have a long way to go to make Long Island government truly representative of the fast-growing Latino and African American population in Long Island -- Latinos and African-Americans now comprise 24 percent of the population (up from 17 percent in 2000).
MRNY members are on the ground every day, educating hundreds of people about voting rights and civic participation. We have also been at the forefront of the fight to stop gerrymandering that disenfranchises communities of color, and we are organizing forums and mobilizations that demonstrate our communities' priorities and the importance of the Latino, African American and immigrant vote.
To learn more about our Long Island voter engagement work, visit www.licivicengagement.org
More on: Expanding Civil Rights
Since the November NYC elections, MRNY members have been hard at work setting the agenda for our next mayor, City Council and citywide elected officials.
We kicked off "Talking Transition" with a low-wage worker forum and our attorneys have been staffing a Single Stop clinic around the clock at the Transition tent.
Recently, our youth joined the Transitions conversation to bring education and police reform issues into the spotlight for the new elected officials. 17-year-old youth leader Cheyanne Smith was also profiled in the New York Times for her leadership to make NYC schools more respectful, safe, and dignified places for learning.
Read more about this work and check out Cheyanne's profile in the Times, "The Mayor of Teenagers."

It's a little tough to predict where the Clippers' coaching search might lead because hiring a coach is a task owner Donald Sterling takes on personally. He has for a long time. He was the guy charmed by Vinny Del Negro and hired him when the basketball operations people wanted to go another direction (and Sterling didn't want to let Del Negro go, either).
But wisely it looks as if they are going after a veteran coach. Chris Broussard had this tidbit at ESPN.
The Clippers, having just released Vinny Del Negro on Tuesday, are in the early stages of their search. They are high on Nate McMillan.
Byron Scott and Golden State assistant Mike Malone are also strong candidates. Both have ties to Chris Paul as they coached him in New Orleans, and Paul is believed to be fond of each of them.
CP3's voice will carry weight in this hire, but it is Sterling that will ultimately make the call.
This should be one of the most coveted jobs out there — the Clippers are a team on the verge of contending. The coach is going to need to find a way to get more out of (or find a way to replace) DeAndre Jordan, he's going to have to come up with a system that both wins and placates the egos on the locker room, but there is a lot to work with here. The Clippers won 56 games and the Pacific Division last season and they should still improve next year.
McMillan would seem a good fit with Paul. If Lionel Hollins becomes available he might make the list, too.
But it's just a little tough to make predictions when the owner is handing things personally.
Report: Jason Kidd safe as Nets coach until team gets healthy
Dec 8, 2013, 8:00 AM EST
The Nets are going through an especially rough time right now, and even mentioning as much seems like a gross understatement of the facts. Brooklyn has lost several of its key players due to injury, including Deron Williams, Paul Pierce, Andrei Kirilenko, and Jason Terry. Head coach Jason Kidd parted ways with assistant Lawrence Frank…
Wade finds LeBron with pass off the glass for dunk in transition (VIDEO)
Dec 7, 2013, 11:00 PM EST
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are simply devastating together when the Heat get out in transition, and this highlight from Miami's easy win over a Timberwolves team playing without Kevin Love is a perfect example. Now of course, a two-on-none fast break will always result in points. But LeBron and Wade often make a spectacle…
Fan wanders onto court while game is going on during Cavaliers-Clippers (VIDEO)
Dec 7, 2013, 9:30 PM EST
Remember last season when an idiot fan in Cleveland ran into the court during live game action? Apparently, there are plenty more like him in that lovely city. During the second quarter of Saturday's contest between the Cavaliers and the Clippers, we once again had a fan walk onto the court while the game was…
Luol Deng missed Saturday night's game against the Pistons with a sore left Achilles, head coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed before tip-off. Deng's status is listed as day-to-day, and it's not believed to be anything serious. After averaging 48.5 minutes per game over the last two contests thanks to logging 56 minutes in a triple-overtime loss…
So, I had this whole thing written and ready about how Sixers coach Brett Brown doesn't believe that Michael Carter-Williams is injury-prone, despite the fact that after sitting out Saturday, the rookie will have missed six of his team's first 21 games. But then the news broke that Carter-Williams had been hospitalized with a bacterial…
D'Antoni says Kobe's minutes will be 'somewhere in the 20s' in Sunday's return vs. Raptors
Dec 7, 2013, 5:00 PM EST
Kobe Bryant will take the court on Sunday against the Raptors, seeing his first action of the season since suffering a torn Achilles injury this past April. The buzz surrounding Bryant's long-awaited debut continued at the Lakers practice facility on Saturday, when Mike D'Antoni answered questions about how much Bryant will play, at what level,…
League execs on Kyrie Irving's recent struggles: 'He's pouting'
Dec 7, 2013, 2:00 PM EST
Kyrie Irving has been far from the dominating, game-changing point guard he showed capable of last season, and people around the league are beginning to take notice. He's had games where he's put up some decent numbers, but has done so inefficiently in recent weeks. After an 0-9 performance in Cleveland's blowout loss to the…
Report: Knicks have 'zero intention' of trading Carmelo Anthony
Dec 7, 2013, 11:00 AM EST
The Knicks have won two straight in blowout fashion, looking a little like last year's club with the hot three-point shooting and briefly returning some sense of sanity to the team and its fan base. The media has yet to catch up, however, as the reports and rumors continue to fly about Carmelo Anthony's future…
The Knicks rolled the Magic 121-83 on Friday to earn a much-needed second straight victory, but Orlando rookie Victor Oladipo came up with at least one play that was worthy of the highlight reel. As Carmelo Anthony drives the lane for what looks to be a certain slam, Oladipo rises up and rejects him at…

We talk about what this means for the Lakers, both in the short-term this season…
Paul Millsap hits a shot to beat first quarter buzzer vs. Cavs (VIDEO)
Dec 6, 2013, 11:47 PM EST
Russell Westbrook wasn't the only one showcasing his range under pressure on Friday. Paul Millsap of the Hawks heaved a shot from well beyond half court to beat the first quarter buzzer against the Cavaliers, and it found nothing but the bottom of the net. We'd like to tell you that this particular heave mattered…
Russell Westbrook drains a shot from near half court against Pelicans (VIDEO)
Dec 6, 2013, 10:31 PM EST
Anytime a player on either team hits a shot from a distance that borders on the absurd, the announcers on the telecast seemingly can't wait to break out the local references in describing just how far away the attempt actually was. In this case, we had Russell Westbrook hitting a shot from near halfcourt to…
Kyle Korver breaks record for consecutive games making a three (VIDEO)
Dec 6, 2013, 9:23 PM EST
Ray Allen couldn't do it. Neither could Reggie Miller or Stephen Curry or any of the other three-point marksman you can name. Kyle Korver has now made a three in 90 consecutive games, breaking the record Dana Barros set in 1996. He did it midway through the first quarter from above the break on the…
Kobe Bryant's jersey has faced snow, rain and wind. Yet, it's endured. That's the lesson I took from the above video, which Kobe posted to Facebook today. Oh, and that Kobe will return Sunday against the Raptors. I guess he's been through a lot, too. Sunday will mark just 240 days since he tore his…
Kevin Love will not suit up Saturday night when the Timberwolves host the Miami Heat for the one time this season. Love's grandmother has passed away and he is not with the team right now.

Mike D'Antoni: Chances "pretty good" Kobe plays Sunday… he sold that short
Dec 6, 2013, 3:22 PM EST
UPDATE 5:37 pm: Kobe Bryant will make his return on Sunday night — he made the announcement in a Facebook video. Apparently he owns some FB stock. 3:22 pm: The Lakers are in Sacramento tonight. Kobe Bryant will be at his home in Newport Beach, trying to get his daughters to turn off the "Muppets…

Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, R&B vocalist Mario started to develop his natural talent while singing along with his mom using a karaoke machine at home. Discovered at the age of 11 in a local talent show, he later traveled to New York City to establish a career and scored a contract with Clive Davis' J label. Following his contribution to the Dr. Doolittle 2 soundtrack and a captivating performance of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" at Davis' Grammy party in February 2002, the newcomer was primed for stardom. At the age of 15, Mario debuted with the release of "Just a Friend 2002," produced by Warryn Campbell and based on rapper Biz Markie's hit "Just a Friend." His self-titled album followed in July, featuring contributions by Grammy-winning Alicia Keys. Turning Point, released in 2004, went to number two on the R&B album chart, hoisted by the ubiquitous smash "Let Me Love You," a single that also helped launch the career of Ne-Yo, the song's writer. The December 2007 release of Mario's third album, Go, was preceded by several delays and projected release dates; its initial date was November of the previous year. The album featured productions from Polow da Don, Timbaland, Stargate, the Neptunes, the Underdogs, and Akon. The album's last song, "Do Right," dealt with his relationship with his mother, a heroin addict; just prior to its release, MTV aired I Won't Love You to Death: The Story of Mario and His Mom, a program documenting the pair's struggle. Go peaked at number four on the R&B chart, just prior to Mario's appearance on the sixth season of Dancing with the Stars. D.N.A., Mario's fourth album, was released in October 2009. At the time, two of its songs, "Break Up" and "Thinkin' About You," were already on the singles charts. ~ Drago Bonacich & Andy Kellman, Rovi

Curated content provides grist for the social marketing mill, according to Gartner's Jake Sorofman
It's human, it's simple, it's visual and it's curated.
"OK, don't forget about big data – it's a big deal," Sorofman wrote in a recent blog. "But, these, days content may be giving data a run for it money.
For instance, Gartner's 2013 Digital Marketing Spending Survey found that content creation and social marketing accounted for 21 per cent of digital marketing budgets and as much as 47 per cent of companies see content creation and curation as the top role of their social marketing teams. The survey queried 200 marketers from North American firms with more than $500 million in annual revenues on how they allocate their budgets and which activities are contributing to their success.
Businesses get no value from big data: survey
Hold on to your big data experts: Gartner
Content typically includes: text used in blogs and syndicated messages; images, including infograhics, photos, drawings cartoons, and line art; videos, slideshows, podcasts, e-books, white papers, and others.
Sorofman said, the pressure to produce more curated content is forcing many organizations to outsource the task. Respondents said that as much as half of their digital marketing activities are outsourced.
The top four digital marketing investments are:
- Commerce experience
- Social marketing
- Content creation and management
- Mobile marketing
Curated content is in such demand because it is the "grist for the social marketing mill."
"Big data may be the intelligence behind micro targeting, but the precision of your aim doesn't matter if the customer experience falls short," he said. "Without compelling, insightful, and inspiring content, social engagement fails to happen."
When asjed what were the main roles performed by team members tasked with social marketing in their organizations, respondents said:
- Content/message creation or curation – 47 per cent
- Set strategy for social marketing – 37 per cent
- Analytics – 29 per cent
- Monitor and respond to customer complaints and comments – 27 per cent
- Community management – 20 per cent
- Manage external agencies – 16 per cent
- Manage social media channels and platform presence – 16 per cent
- Human – It speaks in a conversational voice and is not stilted
- Neutral – Supports a brand's point of view without always making the brand the hero
- Simple – Typically stripped down and gets to the point fast
- Visual – Visuals are easier to consume
- Curated – There's no need to create your own content. You can organize and annotate third-pary content
- Controversial – Communities sustain the dialogue in the form of comments, reviews and ratings
- Organic – It's published fast, often in reaction to an issue
