Matt Brown vs. Thiago Alves agree to fight on UFC on FOX Sports 1 debut card - MMA Fighting
man, what a fight. wouldn't be surprised if brown wins by submission.
Sick fight. Who wins? Us.
-The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.Mr. MMA News Poster, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone at this forum site is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Perfect fight.

Definitely one to watch
Matt Brown is on a 5 fight win streak and coming off a "fight of the night". Alves has lost 4 of 6 including his last one over a year ago.
It's an exciting matchup but I don't know how much sense it actually makes.
Legalize MMA in New York
I can see both sides of it. Alves hasn't beat a top 10 fighter in 5 years but he's probably still a step up from Swick and Mein. It's certainly not a jump in competition but does seem like a gradual rise for Brown.
Alves loves to brawl too, so I can see him falling into Brown's game. At the same time, a few hard leg kicks could be all it takes to shake things up.
Tough call, I'm giving Brown a slight edge. Plus I love seeing him win
Alves gets dragged in to REALLY deep waters and choked out in the 3rd. WAR BROWN

If you ever make it over to Philly, there are three eating experiences you absolutely cannot miss out on (none of which I photographed as I was far too busy eating!):
1. Cosmi's Deli for a traditional philly cheese steak sandwich. It's a tiny and slightly rundown looking deli, with an old formica table that seats six taking up the majority of the available space in the room. Do not back out slowly (like I wanted to when I saw the place), sit yourself down and prepare for a messy and delicious experience.
2. Amada for a late night tapas meal. Easily one of my top four dining experiences ever - the explosion of flavours were like a never-ending party in my mouth (all helped along by some wonderfully citrusy sangria)
3. Parc (bistro) for brunch. The only place to be seen holding a bellini at 1pm on the weekend and the fluffy buttermilk pancakes were well worth the wait.
After a delightfully decadent gastronomic weekend, I'm back home in NYC and planning where to go next time.... what's your favourite weekend getaway?
From New York, with love xox

Always sad to hear news like this RIP.
Connersville, Indiana lad. He and his brother were billed as the Toler Brothers, and they were a legend around here. RIP.

I talked with Dan for a bit at the 1st Exp. Seemed to be a really humble, down to earth kind of guy. Prolly cause he was from Indiana!
Sad to hear this news.........

RIP - only ever saw him at the first Experience, but he seemed like a cool guy. Always hoped he'd come back for another go-round.
"What do we want?" "Time machines!!!" "When do we want them?" "That's irrelevant!"
I saw Dan in'88 when he was with Gregg Allman and was blown away. It was good to finally talk to him at the Experience. Too bad he didn't go to any of the other Experience events.

A half-day expert training on desktop computing in the BYO era
Desktop delivery is changing.
New desktop virtualization tools and technologies are allowing for a wide array of ways to deliver a Windows-based desktop experience to users. And yet, for many users, anytime/anywhere access still isn't enough; they also now require access to their desktops and applications from any device.
Attend Desktop Virtualization 2013 and our independent experts Brian Madden, Gabe Knuth and Shawn Bass will guide you through how to effectively manage your users' desktops in the age of BYOD.
Join us when we arrive in your city and learn:
- Why desktop virtualization may NOT be the answer for delivering Windows desktops to new mobile devices
- How to make old Windows applications work in the new world
- How to get a handle on Windows 7 while Windows 8 is being pushed on us.
And - because this discussion will avoid the typical propaganda extolling the benefits of desktop virtualization, cloud-based desktops, and SaaS – the focus will instead be on solving the real problems impacting you and your users, including in depth analysis of:
- The (near) future of the desktop
- How "post-Windows" products like Citrix CloudGateway and VMware Horizon fit in
- How we can break the Windows desktop into its core
- The adoption rate of desktop virtualization
- An update on the latest desktop virtualization & VDI products
- What will the future desktop look like?
- How do you deal with tablets and phones?
- What about all those apps that are Windows apps? (And that will always be Windows apps?)
- What about Windows 8? Should you care?
- The evolution of Microsoft
- Microsoft Windows licensing, SA, VDA, CDL, etc.
- Microsoft Surface tablets
- Windows 8 Metro touch-based UI
- Windows for ARM. Does that matter for you?
- Where to use Windows Desktop delivery, and how to choose the right form factor (laptop, Remote Desktop Session Host, VDI, client-based VM, tablet, etc.)

SOURCE Pennsylvania Dental Association
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Establishing a routine is important when practicing good oral hygiene. A key part of a good oral hygiene routine is to be aware of how often dental health care products need to be replaced.
"It is important to replace your dental hygiene products so you continue to use products that are effective and in the best working condition," says Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) member Dr. Tamara Brady.
The following are general guidelines on some of the most common products and their shelf life:
PDA encourages you to shop wisely and purchase dental health care products with the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance. The ADA Seal of Acceptance, which is a registered certification mark, is awarded after a product is tested and meets ADA guidelines and standards. The Seal assures consumers that the manufacturer's claims are true and the product produces the intended result.
As important as replacing your products is to the practice of good oral hygiene, where you store your dental health care products is just as essential in maintaining effectiveness.
Dr. Brady suggests storing your products in a cabinet or vanity that closes. If this is not possible, then keeping the products at least five feet from the toilet, on a counter top, will prevent contamination from a flushed toilet. Keeping products in a dry area reduces the risk of bacterial contamination. You want all of your toothbrushes and dental piks to dry completely between uses.
Practicing these guidelines will allow you to maintain the best oral health and limit the number of possible dental problems from occurring. Always consult with your PDA dentist if you have any questions or concerns regarding your oral hygiene routine and the dental health care products you use.
About the Pennsylvania Dental Association
Founded in 1868, the Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) is comprised of approximately 6,000 member dentists. It is a constituency of the American Dental Association (ADA), the largest and oldest national dental society in the world. PDA's mission is to improve the public health, promote the art and science of dentistry and represent the interests of its member dentists and their patients. PDA is the voice of dentistry in Pennsylvania. For more information on PDA, visit our website at padental.org.

Want to know how this works? Read all about it here.
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper muffin cases. Tip the flour and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Hold back 1 tbsp of the sugar, then mix the remainder with the flour and 50g oats. Make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until nearly smooth. Stir the buttermilk, oil and egg whites into the mashed banana until evenly combined.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the well and stir quickly and sparingly with a wooden spoon. The mix will look lumpy and may have the odd fleck of flour still visible, but don't be tempted to over-mix. Tip in the blueberries and give it just one more stir. Divide the mix between the muffin cases – they will be quite full – then sprinkle the tops with the final tbsp of the oats and the rest of he sugar. Bake for 18-20 mins until risen and dark golden. Cool for 5 mins in the tray before lifting out onto a rack to cool completely.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2006
Comments, questions and tips
These muffins were brilliant, incredbly tasty and very simple to make. I would recommend that these are specifically for breakfast or a morning coffee snack. I froze a large batch also and even 4 weeks later (the last batch) they were tasting phenomenal. I also tried the basic recipe but changed the blueberries to dark chocolate drops and chopped hazlenuts. These muffins were good but dense, the banana obviously makes them fluffy and sweeter. For the chocolate and hazlenut ones I think I should have added another 50g of sugar? I went with buttermilk in both recipes and it really is a wonderful ingredient! I am making these muffins again this weekend and freezing for breakfasts over the next week or two!
Just made these delicious muffins and they were so moreish! Did not have butter milk so used the old trick of substituting a cup of milk with 1 tblsp lemon juice added instead! Also did not use porridge oats as none in cupboard! Very light muffins that were not too sweet! Even my banana hating daughter loved them! Definitely a good healthy lunchbox addition!
These worked out really well (I am no baker for sure) if maybe a little stodgy but that's probably my rubbish baking than the recipe being bad. I am very chuffed with my first effort at these.
Does anyone know if you can substitute the egg white for something else? My husband is severely allergic to egg.
This recipe is top notch. My muffins always turn out rubbery, but these had a lovely, fluffy texture. I did have to make a couple of changes - I only had one banana, and I used plain yogurt instead of buttermilk. Also, I used whole eggs instead of egg whites, and added a bit milk to loosen the mixture. Oh, and I added a chopped Braeburn apple, which was lovely. Sorry to the recipe purists!!
I used three small bananas, frozen mixed red fruit and the two whole eggs as i couldnt be bothered to figure out what to use the leftover yolks in.As a result i only put in two tbsp of oil .
I used single low fat cream instead of buttermilk and added, instead of oats, flaked almonds on top.
They are absolutely delicious and iv just had three so im pretty sure!
I love this recipe and have made these muffins so many times - they always turn out really well. I think I have pretty much perfected them now and a few tips I would give are; if your bananas aren't that ripe use 125g of sugar instead of the stated 100g, always sift the bicarbonate of soda so you don't get any bitter lumps, don't overfill your muffin cases - I find the quantites in the recipe makes closer to 14 large muffins and lastly, as stated elsewhere in the comments, the muffins tend to stick to the cases so I either spray a small amount of oil onto the cases or use silicon bakeware.

SOURCE Stand Up For Financial Literacy
Financial Advisors Will Partner with Celebrities and Athletes in Annual Program to Bring Essentials of Financial Literacy to All American High School Students
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Stand Up For Financial Literacy announced the launch of its national campaign to bring financial advisors, celebrities and sports figures to the country's 30,000 high schools as part of an innovative volunteer program to educate students in the basics of financial literacy. The campaign is currently inviting financial services professionals, companies and organizations to participate in the inaugural program, which will be promoted during the 2015 Super Bowl and will roll out during National Financial Literacy Month in April of 2015.
The public-private partnership is committed to organizing 30,000 financial professionals and influencers to volunteer to spend one day in the nation's high schools every April to teach students basic money management skills and concepts. Scheduled to be fully rolled out by 2020, the campaign was created by The Kelley Group and is hosted by the kasina Youth Foundation, with contributing partners Direxion Funds and the Alliance of Financial Leaders.
"Young people attend school to learn how to meet the challenges that lie ahead of them, and yet they spend little or no time acquiring basic money management skills that are essential both to their future well-being and to a healthy economy," said Sarano Kelley, Founder and CEO of The Kelley Group. "Our mission is to mobilize the financial services community to engage students in every high school in the country so that tomorrow's decision-makers are equipped to make wise financial decisions."
The Stand Up For Financial Literacy campaign will match financial professionals with an athlete or celebrity to speak with students at a high school in their community. Volunteers will deliver a financial literacy curriculum developed either by their own firm or by a financial industry organization, such as the U.S. Treasury or the FDIC. Program components may include budgeting, spending, taxation, savings, risk management and investments.
"Financial literacy gives young people the tools they need to gain control of their destiny but studies show that less than 20 percent of teachers feel prepared to teach this important subject in school," said Lee S. Kowarski, President of the kasina Youth Foundation. "We know that members of the financial services community are deeply committed to contributing to the good of their local communities, and this campaign gives them a perfect opportunity to do so."
The Stand Up For Financial Literacy campaign will be holding monthly conference calls with participants beginning in early 2014, and will also be sending out quarterly newsletters to volunteers.
"We welcome all financial services professionals, firms and organizations to join us in supporting this unique initiative," said Andy O'Rourke, Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer of Direxion Funds. "Professionals will gain the huge satisfaction of helping young people better understand the financial choices they face. In doing so, they will also have the opportunity to take a leadership role in their communities and expand their local networks."
For more information and to register as a volunteer, please visit www.standup4fl.org.
About Stand Up For Financial Literacy

Our HoliBlog is all about pulling back the curtain.
We like to show our readers some of the behind-the-scenes sights and activities here at Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.
Even when it's a bit creepy...
Now to be fair, one person's "creepy" is another person's "awesome."
...so we'll let you decide.
Our grounds manager, Tim, discovered this little fellow here in the park recently.
One of the reasons it caught his eye was the little colored nubby things (no, I'm not an entomologist) matched our logo colors: blue, yellow and red.
And so, our little HoliBug was asked to pose for photos while munching on a few blades of grass.
Truth be known, this is actually a Hyalophora cecropia.
But to us, he'll always be our slightly creepy, sort of cute, HoliBug.

Filling a void in Detroit with music education

Oracle Buy Boosts Project Management Software Lineup
12:08 PM EST Thu. Nov. 08, 2012Oracle is acquiring Instantis, a developer of on-premise and cloud-based project and portfolio management (PPM) software, the companies said Thursday.
Oracle will combine the Instantis technology with its own Primavera project management application and Fusion applications to create what the company described as "the most comprehensive set of cloud-based and on-premise enterprise project portfolio management solutions."
PPM applications are used to manage multiple projects in such areas as capital construction and maintenance, IT, manufacturing and product development. They help businesses manage project timetables and make decisions about deploying resources to multiple projects.
[Related: How To Use The Cloud To Speed Up IT Projects]
"Organizations realize the need for a more simplified approach to address project portfolio management initiatives -- and yet most solutions are too complicated and expensive to deploy," said Mike Sicilia, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Primavera, in a statement. "By adding Instantis, Oracle can help customers gain complete visibility and control of their mission-critical project initiatives using a top-down approach suited for projects throughout the entire organization."
Oracle did not disclose terms of the acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Oracle expects to complete the acquisition of Santa Clara, Calif.-based Instantis by the end of the year.
The company said the Instantis management team, including founder and CEO Prasad Raje, and the company's employees are expected to join Oracle as part of the Oracle Primavera Global Business Unit.
On the partner front, Oracle said Instantis' software would become part of the Oracle Primavera product portfolio, which is "expected to provide partners with the opportunity to broaden their specialized offerings to project- and asset-intensive industries," Oracle said.
The acquisition will help partners "gain improved access, support and training for Instantis products and solutions" and "benefit from the complementary solution that provides an opportunity to increase business value and improve the project and program management process through an integrated [enterprise] PPM solution," according to the company.

This is comical:"Musically, the Mission Creeps are one of the most perfectly named bands around, with thumping and thudding drums, thick and edgy bass lines and guitar leads that scream, wail and shudder. Guitarist-singer James Arrr and bassist Miss Frankie Stein prove again that they simply own their groovy, dark realm."
... In other words they are not your most favorite band. No positivity here. Very tactful way to say they suck ass. Do you owe them money? Come on just come out & say it. Grow some balls. What a wuss for a music critic.
Primus is one of the most original and talented hard rock bands that exist. Within their sound one can find a great mixture of funk, absurdity and a quirky sense of humour that musically & lyrically remind me a lot of the late & great musical genius Frank Zappa. It's a shame that Mr. Seigel doesn't much care for them; but I guess when a person can settle for the dreck an "artist" like Daniel Johnston performs, the music from Primus must come across as very complicated.
The 'CSI show with Chris O'Donnell' is actually 'NCIS Los Angeles' and has nothing to do with CSI other than sharing some letters.
I like the "Wayback Machine" reference, but as a bit of an aficionado of Peabody's Improbable History from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, I'd like to point out the correct spelling is "WABAC", though it was pronounced as spelled in the article. I believe it was a play on UNIVAC and other hi-tech names from back in the day.
Sherman, set the WABAC machine to Rio de Janeiro, 1968.
Can't wait for this show!
Thanks for the post! would love to see them live, can't wait for their new album! check out their new song "I will steal you back", so good! http://smarturl.it/StealYouBack
Its an odd juxtaposition of images
The animation reminds me a lot of Metalocalypse. I wonder if the same people who created that are involved, and I'll keep wondering because I'm too lazy to investigate.
Actually, I should revise these thoughts, I've done some re-reading and I don't have this worked out to my satisfaction yet. My previous post was a bit too critical of this follow up article, I was triggered by seeing Levine's quote again and putting that on this author, this piece is less explosive than my first impression. My intuition is telling me there is an issue here, but I haven't successfully identified the root yet. Hmm...
Good post, David. I agree with you in principle: "fuck the writer" is a bad attitude and never constructive. I don't mean to condone that, but I try to address hater feelings because I believe in some cased (not all), it's the kind of thing people revert to when they have intense feelings they want to explain but can't put into words. So in frustration some just vent in a way that overshadows any possible value in their thoughts, and I try to be sympathetic sometimes when that happens. The tour is HUGE news for sure and I would expect the mag to cover it in a post, all I meant is: can an article be news if it's 1/3 reporting an announcement, 2/3 personal vendetta? There are about 20 people involved in the comment discussion he references. 20 who have any idea what the hell was discussed. The vast majority of prospective readers have no context whatsoever. So how does this work for a public audience? It doesnt. Personally, it's galling to see this extremely questionable characterization of the original comments re-published here because I know almost no one will seek out the comments to read and analyze for self. Accountability. The writer can cherry pick details, whatever he wants, knowing his statements are unlikely to be challenged. This new article/announcement becomes the received wisdom from that discussion? No one to challenge that, to speak up and prevent this from being reported/considered journalistic fact? Not on my watch. I just couldnt let this pass because basically, the article he wrote amounts to someone declaring "victory!" at a random moment in a war where all the soldiers were done fighting, then scampering off to.hide as fast as possible before anyone can react in any way, all the way feeling like a winner who got the last laugh. I'm being slightly dramatic here, but you can see what I'm trying to say. And the discussion of Josh' s original article went cold a long time ago, we said what we said and all moved on. The participants are long over it. Reopening those antagonisms--way too personal to be incorporated in something considered "news," in my opinion. I'm ecstatic to know they are touring! Best news in a while for me! But whatever this particular article may be about, it isn't really about the news-its about something else, but I can't finger what, precisely.
FWIW, tickets are also buy-one-get-one-free with a KFMA Day ticket stub.
Thanks, David! It's a bit odd that it say $6 advance on Rialto's event info page for the show, although it could just be me thinking it odd.
Hey Ldonyo -- I just called over to the Rialto Box Office, and apparently tickets are only being sold at the door tomorrow night, nothing in advance.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
I just stopped by the Rialto to get tickets for this and they don't have them. No one seems to have them. Any reference to tickets points to the Rialto. More than a little frustrating to say the least.
Jeff, I'm cool with the NMH fans who disagreed with Levine's review -- differing opinions are fine, and I prefer them to everyone patting everyone else on the back.
But when readers like the commenter who couldn't stand to have his/her perceptions of Mangum challenged, and thus said of our writer "fuck him" (and since had his/her comment deleted), I'm not particularly concerned about their feelings.
Also, considering that the NMH reunion announcement was big enough to merit a fairly visible post on some of the most visible blogs in the country, I'm willing to call this "news with a slightly lengthy aside."
Dude, seriously? This article isn't "news", if you actually consider this article worthy "content" I simply can't help you. You think the fact that this small circle of friends has decided to play together again proves/changes anything about Jeffs motive for touring? Correlation =/= causation. I stand by all of my analysis on the other thread. This article is a shameful, cowardly cheap shot that contributes nothing. Frankly, you sound like a petulant child. I KNOW exactly where Jeff's head is at in all this. It astounds me that any magazine would allow its writers to taunt prospective readers like this. Seriously- I'm utterly flabbergasted.
Wow! Turns out the author may have been on to something http://m.pitchfork.com/news/47783-neutral-…
..I'm wondering when the comments apologizing to the author for some pretty venomous statements are going to start coming in. However, in this day and age, why would anyone let the facts supersede their sense of outrage?

Barack Obama Is No Friend Of Gun Owners

I wanted to double-check how facing/orientation/etc... affects Support in melee combat. We had a couple of situations arise today during play. I think the rules allow support in these situations, but I wanted to make sure that was the case.
Situation One -
Unit X is facing south, and is flush against friendly unit Y to the south.
Unit Y is facing east, and is fighting enemy Unit Z, which is facing west.
Can Unit X provide support?
Situation Two -
Two units are in a classic line. Units X and Y are both facing in the same direction, and are touching on their flanks. However, Unit Y is fighting enemy Unit Z, which has flanked Unit Y on the side opposite Unit X.
Can Unit X provide support?
In both cases, basic positioning seems to indicate that the units in question can provide support. But would-be supporting units are facing in an odd direction in relation to the melee. The rules seem to suggest that the facing is irrelevant, but I thought I'd go ahead and confirm that.

A therapy dog can be any breed from a teacup Yorkie to an Irish Wolfhound as long as it's calm, tolerates other animals and loves to be petted by strangers. They're great at places like old folks' homes, hospital wards for kids with long term illnesses, even prisons. Therapy dogs are happy to see you, whoever you are.
I have two cats at home that I think of as therapy animals. Mortimer, huge and orange with an extra toe on each of his four feet, loves everyone; Lucy, small, black and white, and younger likes three people plus Mortimer – and in the whole world that's it for objects of her affections.
When we had an office near my apartment in New York, I used to bring my cats to work but now that we're in our Hollywood, Florida marina office two and a half miles from home, I can't do that anymore.
But I do have Cappy.
Cappy's a Maltese Terrier who belongs to Bruce and Lara, a nice couple from New England. They sailed into the marina (our office is on the second floor of the Harbor master's office) a year and a half ago and took a more or less permanent lease on a slip right outside my office window.
They live in their sail boat, and they share our huge downstairs terrace with us and people from other boats. It's a very collegial gathering and was somewhat staid until Bruce and Lara brought home a tiny white bundle of fur. Cappy.
Dogs need somewhere to run off their leashes but you can't take a dog off the leash in the marina. So Cappy comes upstairs to run around our offices. And run he does. Nonstop for the first 5 minutes, ripping figure eights around tables and chairs, racing after the balls we throw him for him.
His favorite spot is under my desk where he might find a crumb or two leftover from my lunch. When he (and Bruce and Lara, of course) went up north for a few weeks, I was bereft. No Cappy.
It is interesting that a dog can cheer you up; as you laugh, the creative juices start flowing again. I'm thinking of giving him a job as our Growler in Chief. Last week he accidentally took a small chunk out of Michael's right hand when they both reached for a tennis ball at the same time. Good thing Michael throws leftie.
Cappy doesn't know it, and wouldn't care if he did, but he's a therapy dog. Thanks, Capster for making Lois Geller Marketing Group's office (a.k.a. Cappy's Run), a happier place to work.

The Big Web Show #84 with Dalton Caldwell
Sexual Cyberbullying: The Modern Day Letter A
These days, many teenagers live half their lives on social media sites, and they're writing the rules as they go. One online trend 16-year-old Radio Rookie Temitayo Fagbenle finds disturbing is something she calls "slut-shaming," or using photos and videos to turn a girl's private life inside out.
There are countless websites, Facebook pages and Twitter handles that are created to shame girls online, many are literally called "exposing hos." When Temitayo logs in to Facebook her newsfeed is often inundated with sexually explicit photos and videos of other teenage girls that are posted, commented on, and shared countless times by her peers. Once these images make it online the repercussions can haunt a girl far beyond the schoolyard.
"Once it gets to a social media network it's over for her life," one of Temitayo's classmates said. She gathered a group of girls from her school to talk about why so many teenagers, especially girls, harass each other online. "Girls do it to themselves," another girl explained, "half the time we can't even blame guys."
But another student pointed out that a lot of girls don't even know they're being recorded. She said, "it's not fair that a guy can actually hide his phone, have sex with you and record you, and then show it to his friends, like, 'Yo, look, look, look!'"
That nightmare scenario was a reality for another one of Temitayo's classmates. When the young girl was only 14, her boyfriend filmed a sexually explicit video of her without her knowledge and then posted it on Facebook and other social media sites. "He was going around holding his head high saying, "'Oh well, I was able to do this with her.' He gave me a bad name," the girl said.
Schools have had to take on a new role in the age of social media.
Some students screenshot the cyberbullying they see online, print it out and bring it to their teachers as evidence. Erica Doyle, the Assistant Principal at Temitayo's school said, "Once we're dealing with digital media that is sexually explicit that has been captured and shared with the public, that actually now is a criminal matter."
One of Temitayo's male friends was arrested in the 8th grade for emailing a topless picture of his girlfriend to hundreds of students at their middle school. Temitayo asked him if he did it out of malice, but he brushed the question off and said he just thought it would be cool. "I regret doing it to her but still, I didn't have to go to jail. Porn websites do it everyday."

Interview: Sherry Turkle, Author of 'Alone Together' : NPR
In her book Alone Together, psychologist Sherry Turkle explains how digital devices are affecting our communication and relationships. "What is so seductive about texting, about keeping that phone on, about that little red light on the BlackBerry, is you want to know who wants you," Turkle says.
Duncan Watts: Using the Web to do Social Science
Social science is often concerned with the emergence of collective behavior out of the interactions of large numbers of individuals; but in this regard it has long suffered from a severe measurement problem - namely that interactions between people are hard to measure, especially at scale, over time, and at the same time as observing behavior.
In this talk, Duncan will argue that the technological revolution of the Internet is beginning to lift this constraint. To illustrate, he will describe four examples of research that would have been extremely difficult, or even impossible, to perform just a decade ago:
Using email exchange to track social networks evolving in time Using a web-based experiment to study the collective consequences of social influence on decision making Using a social networking site to study the difference between perceived and actual homogeneity of attitudes among friends Using Amazon's Mechanical Turk to study the incentives underlying 'crowd sourcing' Although internet-based research still faces serious methodological and procedural obstacles, Duncan proposes that the ability to study truly 'social' dynamics at individual-level resolution will have dramatic consequences for social science.
The Politics of Internet Software: 'Geeks Bearing Gifts' by Ted Nelson
When we try do social science on the Internet, it is vital to know what is solid and what is highly changeable. Outsiders and newcomers tend to be awed and misled by the illusions of 'technology' - which seem rock-solid and immutable, like a child's view of home and religion.
But the 'technologies' of the computer world are extremely changeable, and give play to motivated assumptions and decisions. Like gasoline mixed with air, this an explosive mix. Fast-evolving software ideas, churned by human political agendas, power today's wildly changing product and Internet world.
If software is successful, it steers the path that many users take, and selects among many possibilities to further the creator's agenda.
Suppressing the other possibilities may also be part of the agenda.
[For the present purposes I propose a simple definition of politics: THE CLASH AND RECONCILIATION OF AGENDAS (which agendas in turn may be motivated by prestige, power, profit or ideology). This definition would seem to cover the range: electoral politics, office and palace intrigue, war (Clausewitz' continuation of politics by other means), and now the steering of products and programs.]
We will glance at some examples of technology politics before 1950 (Brunel, Tesla, Armstrong, von Braun) and then at software politics among some two dozen individuals and companies in the computer and Internet world - the clash and resolution of their agendas (so far).
Software agendas generally play out through projects and products, some of which can change more drastically than others. The digital media conventions (called by laymen 'ICTs') are by far the most changeable - and thus political.
Theodor Holm Nelson invented the term "hypertext" in 1963 and published it in 1965, and is a pioneer of information technology. He also coined the words hypermedia, transclusion, virtuality, intertwingularity and teledildonics. The main thrust of his work has been to make computers easily accessible to ordinary people. His motto is:
A user interface should be so simple that a beginner in an emergency can understand it within ten seconds.
Nelson is currently a visiting professor at Oxford University, and a philosopher who works in the fields of information, computers, and human-machine interfaces. He founded Project Xanadu in 1960 with the goal of creating such a system on a computer network, further documented in his 1974 book Computer Lib / Dream Machines and the 1981 Literary Machines. Much of his adult life has been devoted to working on Xanadu and advocating it.
Interview: Tom Standage
There is nothing new under the sun, says Ecclesiastes, and when it comes to social media Tom Standage has set out to prove the saying right. His day job is as a journalist and the digital editor at The Economist. But he's also the author of a book called The Victorian Internet. And he's got another in the pipeline called Cicero's Web. I began by asking him about a technology which totally transformed Australian life in the Victorian era - the telegraph wire.

E.O. Wilson: The Social Conquest of Earth
The author of more than 25 books, including two Pulitzer Prize-winning works of nonfiction, E.O. Wilson has won a raft of scientific and conservation prizes, including the prestigious National Medal of Science. Wilson's writing explores the world of ants and other tiny creatures, illuminating how all creatures great and small are interdependent. A Harvard professor since 1953, his ideas have had an immeasurable influence on our understanding of life, nature, and society. He remains an outspoken advocate for conservation and biodiversity, fighting to preserve the wondrous variety of the natural world. In The Social Conquest of Earth, Wilson lays out a reexamination of human evolution—addressing fundamental questions of philosophy, religion, and science—in explaining how socially advanced species have come to dominate the earth.
In conversation with Steven L. Snyder, Ph.D.
Edward O. Wilson "The Social Conquest of Earth"
Edward O. Wilson has revolutionized science and inspired the public more often than any other living biologist. Now he is blending his pioneer work on ants with a new perspective on human development to propose a radical reframing of how evolution works.
First the social insects ruled, from 60 million years ago. Then a species of social mammals took over, from 10 thousand years ago. Both sets of "eusocial" animals mastered the supremely delicate art of encouraging altruism, so that individuals in the groups would act as if they value the goal of the group over their own goals. They would specialize for the group and die for the group. In recent decades the idea of "kin selection" seemed to explain how such an astonishing phenomenon could evolve. Wilson replaces kin selection with "multi-level selection," which incorporates both individual selection (long well understood) and group selection (long considered taboo). Every human and every human society has to learn how to manage adroitly the perpetual ambiguity and conflict between individual needs and group needs. What I need is never the same as what we need.
E. O. Wilson's current book is The Social Conquest of Earth. His previous works include The Superorganism; The Future of Life; Consilience; Biophilia; Sociobiology; and The Insect Societies.
Sociability: how accessible is social media? - Life Matters - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Social media has pretty much taken over the world in the last few years. For lots of us, it's part of our everyday routine—possibly even an addiction for some—and it's a brilliant way to connect and share with almost anyone we want to.
But for many people living with a disability, the world of social media is just out of reach.

In this post, bear with me and you'll get a couple of case studies and some best practice from brands using TV and promoted tweet tie-ups.
Before I give you the fun stuff, I want to say that best practice is all that matters. Ignore all the stats about engagement and sales uplift.
I don't usually advocate ignoring stats, but as B2B marketing and service industries now pervade major cities of the developed world, we are awash with stats. And stats that claim to explain general concepts, such as generic increase in purchase intent after viewing a promoted tweet that references TV, are not helpful to you.
Yes, these stats succinctly explain the perceived benefits of advertising on Twitter, but like all data, it's only that which directly pertains to your company that is of use.
There's no point examining averaged trends when what you're interested in is your business. Being blinded by amazing engagement stats will mean you don't think properly about your campaigns. The last thing you want to do is drip out a poorly conceived set of promoted tweets and have faith they will deliver ROI.
The success of your marketing and advertising is dependent entirely upon detail; detail that's way more granular than simply what channels you decide to advertise in.

I've possibly never had so much fun writing an Econsultancy blog post. For an hour or so yesterday, I was listening to 'old' in-game radio adverts from the Grand Theft Auto computer games, handily available here.
Whilst they are hilarious, in aping existing companies they also use many of the ad man's techniques to sell a product.
I've tried to succinctly describe these techniques in this post. I hope you enjoy the fake product names and slogans as much as I did, and aren't put off by the some of the products' slightly poor taste. Thanks to GTA Wiki, where I grabbed the crazy product images.

There's huge creative potential when brand advertisers and media owners choose to collaborate. It's astonishing how scarcely it seems to happen, especially given just how memorable such collaborations have typically been.
Take the first episode of zombie thriller The Returned on Channel 4 earlier this year. The programme was aired in its original French, with English subtitles, a first for mainstream drama on television.
With a brilliant touch, the first commercial break was also in French with English subtitles, and included spots by French brands such as Renault, Boursin and L'Oreal.

"You know it when you see it". This, of course, is the famous Potter Stewart quote from the Jacobelis vs Ohio court case (1964) which found the French film "The Lovers (Les Amants)" to be too obscene.
As the definition of native advertising continues to evolve this quote is incredibly fitting. But I'll get to that later, let me first go back to the origins of this marketing tactic…

Is there anybody on the planet who actually enjoys pre-roll video advertising? Research has shown that 94% of people skip pre-roll ads, though I can't believe the number is that low (presumably the other 6% are masochists).
Pre-roll ads are as loathed as pop-ups, which studies found to be damaging to both advertiser and publisher. I imagine that the same applies to pre-rolls. Have you ever watched one and wanted to buy the product or service that's being (badly) pitched to you?
You have to wonder why they're so popular. Certainly the YouTube experience has considerably worsened since it started putting pre-rolls on a far wider range of ads, and I for one would pay a small fee to have them permanently removed.
Why do pre-roll ads suck so badly? Partly it's the interruption, which is often a lot longer than five seconds, and partly it's because the creative tends to be beyond stupid, but there are plenty of other reasons.
The following quotes and videos reflect all that is wrong with the pre-roll format. If you're the kind of person who likes to snuggle up to Satan by commissioning pre-rolls then you might want to take some notes.
