The Weekly Feed Issue #53: How to create writing that wins friends and influences – courtesy of Facebook
This week Facebook released data that is pure gold for marketers and publishers. Their Data Team took a dictionary created by the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count project (LIWC) and analyzed 1 million status updates from US English speakers. The dictionary allowed them to categorize status updates into psychological and linguistic categories.
This all sounds like nerd-fodder but the data Facebook extracted is very useful for anyone who writes. Please see the footnote at the end of this edition to learn how to categorize your own writing and measure it against the Facebook data.
I'm going to summarize some of it here in very plain english. For the sake of brevity I'm going to refer to the people who write status updates as authors, when in reality they are micro-bloggers (like Twitter users).
Younger authors post more: negative content, swear words, angry content, discuss themselves and their own physical state more and post more sexual content and content about school.
More mature authors post more: articles (Words like 'a', 'an' and 'the' referring to an item), prepositions (words like 'to', 'the' and 'above'), social processes (words like 'mate', 'talk', 'they' and 'child') and they post more inclusive words ('and', 'with', 'include') and words referring to others. They also post more religious words and words indicating positive emotions.
Conclusions regarding Author Age:
If your intention is to appear older or more mature in your writing, your writing should be in an expository style referring to specific items and events in a social context. You should include others in your writing and avoid being introspective as tempting as it may be. Use clean language and focus on the positive rather than criticizing or conveying anger.
I hesitate to jump to conclusions about the type of content you should write about e.g. sexual content or religious content because that depends on your audience.
Friend Count (Authors with the most and least friends):
Authors with few friends use Time words like 'end', 'until', 'season'. They also use past tense and present tense verb's like the verbs in this list. They discuss family and use emotional words like 'love', 'nice', 'sweet', 'hurt', 'ugly' and 'nasty'.
Authors with a high friend count use words that refer to social processes like 'mate', 'talk', 'they' and 'child' just like more mature authors did. They also refer to other people whereas less popular authors refer to themselves more frequently, again similar to mature authors. Popular authors also use more words per status update. They also use words related to communication and hearing .e.g 'listen', 'hearing', 'speaking'
Conclusions regarding Popular Authors:
Popular authors are socially active and discuss their social interactions. They discuss themselves infrequently but do discuss others in a positive way. They don't use emotional words. They frequently discuss communicating in some way and their status updates are longer.
Example of an unpopular author's status update: "I can't wait until Jen stops being nasty to me because she really hurts me."
Example of a popular author's status update: "Really enjoying speaking to the smart attendees at the Search Engine World conference. Be sure to check out Google's giant Android display – it's awesome!"
Words used in popular status updates (updates that got the most "likes" on Facebook):
Here again we see that popular updates used words relating to "social processes" like 'talk', 'they', 'discuss', 'conference', 'meet'. Referring to other people and positive emotions also gets you a lot of Facebook "likes" for an individual status update. Using religious words also gets a lot of likes.
The least number of "likes" were given to status updates relating to sleeping, negative updates, job/work updates and body states. All these updates are introspective i.e. talking about yourself and we've already seen from the data above that talking about others is better than talking about yourself.
Example of an update that might get a lot of "likes": "The coffee gathering at today's startup meeting was awesome. Lots of smart people to meet and learn from."
Words used in status updates that get the most comments on Facebook:
Pronouns make up the top three categories for the kinds of words that elicit the most comments on Facebook. Words like 'me', 'I', 'you', 'it', 'us', 'who', 'whom', 'mine' 'ours'. Cognitive processes make up the fourth category with words like 'know', 'cause', 'ought', 'think.
My guess is that using pronouns combined with cognitive process words tends to encourage participation, for example "Tell me what you think about…".
Word categories that get very few comments are "positive feelings" and "emotions" along with "sleeping", "leisure activities" and words relating to "home".
General conclusions
So what can we take away from all this? A few key points for anyone publishing blog entries, twitter updates, Facebook status updates, comments on blogs or any other social media platform:
- Avoid referring to yourself or talking about yourself
- Talk about others and the social processes that occur between other people
- Stay positive, happy and up-beat.
- Don't use bad language.
- If you want comments, ask your readers for them by using inclusive pronouns that encourages "cognitive process" - words like 'think', 'opinion', etc.
- If you want lots of friends, use social language and write longer blog entries, comments or updates that talk about other people rather than yourself.
Footnote: You can learn more about the dictionary Facebook used on LIWC.net and you can find examples of each of the word categories like "cognitive process" or "perceptual process" on this page. I strongly recommend trying the online version of LIWC to categorize your own writing and then comparing the categories that appear against the data Facebook has published to check for red flags.

Aid women killed' in AfghanistanThree women thought to be international aid workers been shot dead along with their Afghan driver in the south of the capital, Kabul, officials say.
Police say a second Afghan driver was hurt when unidentified gunmen fired on the two cars the group were travelling in through central Lowgar province.
The nationalities of the women are not known yet. It is also not clear who the three may have worked for.
Aid agencies say they are frequently targeted in the Afghan conflict.
An Afghan interior ministry spokesman said all three women were foreigners.
He said he believed they were aid workers, but did not identify their nationality or which organisation they were working for.
The provincial police chief said a vehicle carrying armed men had fired on the group. The bodies have been taken to the governor's compound in the Lowgar capital, Puli Alam.
The BBC's Alastair Leithead, in Kabul, says Lowgar, which borders Kabul, has become increasingly violent recently. The United Nations now classifies the province as a high risk, he adds.

Miami-Dade Commissioner Dennis Moss, who voted for the stadium, acknowledged it was far from a great deal for the county.
"No, I didn't go through it [the contract] page by page. I don't think anyone went through it page by page," said Moss. "But what I did do was rely on the administration to lay out the deal."
To be fair, it is still possible the Marlins will need to spend a portion of the $29.1 million they had not spent as of the end of December, before the books are closed on stadium construction.
Responding to questions by email, Carolina Perrina de Diego, the team's director of business communications, said the Marlins have closed out 51 of the 65 contracts the team signed with contractors to build the ballpark. Some of the remaining contracts may still go to arbitration.
"We expect to be very close to the finish line by April 2013," Perrina said. Any money the team comes in under budget "will be assigned to the capital reserve fund for future capital projects."
While the $29 million the Marlins could save represents a small portion of the stadium's $515 million construction budget, a lower tab could have made a big difference long-term for Miami-Dade taxpayers. A combination of a horrible credit market and Miami-Dade's strained finances left the county to create a borrowing package that brought sky-high interest costs when commissioners approved the deal in the grim summer of 2009.
"The market was a hard market in 2009,'' said Frank Hinton, head of Miami-Dade's bond division.
One bond package in particular illustrates how shaving millions off the construction cost could have amounted to enormous savings.
When Miami-Dade sold a series of bonds to raise $91 million for the stadium construction in 2009, Wall Street financiers exacted repayment terms will have Miami-Dade paying more than $1 billion in interest on the bonds through 2048.
In all, the $91 million bond sale will cost $1.18 billion to repay, and cannot be refinanced, Hinton said.
Though the bonds are backed by Miami-Dade hotel taxes, lending terms require the county to dip into certain sales and property taxes if the lodging revenue ever falls short.
While interest payments will hit $110 million a year by 2042, inflation should render those figures far less eye-popping than they seem today. Still, the $91 million bonds stand out for their high repayment costs. Those bonds only account for about 20 percent of the money the county borrowed for the stadium, but they account for 55 percent of the full $2.4 billion that the county must pay to bondholders on stadium debt during the next four decades.
Jose Galan, the county's project manager for ballpark construction, agreed that Miami-Dade could have borrowed money on better terms had the contract not called for it to contribute funding upfront. The Marlins paid their share at the end, as revenue poured in from advertising and suite sales and the global credit market was on the mend.
But Galan also noted that financial hindsight is 20/20, and it wasn't known in 2009 if the credit market would be even worse in the coming years. He also believes the Marlins took the greater risk by agreeing to pay for any cost overruns. Meanwhile, Miami-Dade had a fixed construction budget to fund and did not have to worry about the expenses that come with delays or increases on, say, the price of steel.
"We'd much rather be able to say, 'I know what my total expense is going to be,''' Galan said.

Document ID: 15942
Updated: Oct 26, 2005
The Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM) is a subscriber management software package for a public local-area network (LAN) server that provides "an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in a box". For end users in the network, Cisco BBSM provisions, tracks, and provides billing support for access to the Internet. The BBSM software is provided on a server.
BBSM consists of a dedicated server, usually located at this site, as well as switches, routers, and cables to connect each end user port to the server. The end user connects to the server when the user connects to an end user port.
When a Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator is opened, the browser automatically searches for Internet access. The browser finds the BBSM Welcome page, which indicates a connection to the BBSM server but not to the Internet.
At this point, the BBSM software has already identified the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the end user's computer, queried all switches on the network in order to determine the location of the end user, and assigned a temporary IP address to the end user's location. After you press the Connect button, the BBSM software designates the end user port as active. If relevant, billing information is processed for that end port. The end user now has a connection to the Internet.
This figure shows a typical BBSM configuration.
There are no specific requirements for this document.

BBSM Users are Unable to Send or Receive E-Mail
Symptoms | Users cannot send or receive e-mail with their normal ISP account while connected to the BBSM service. Users can either receive e-mail or not. |
Cause 1 | The user's ISP does not accept e-mail from unrecognized sources or IP addresses. This does not allow the the user's e-mail server to be used as a SPAM gateway. Normally, the user's computer receives its IP address from the ISP itself, so this address is recognized as a valid source address. When the user logs on to the BBSM network, the user's computer receives its IP address from the BBSM server. Therefore, the ISP sees this address as foreign. When the user tries to send an e-mail to this server, the server ignores the e-mail since the server does not recognize the source IP address as an address on its own network. |
Resolution 1 |
If the BBSM network provider has set up an Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) server in order to resolve this problem, the IP address of that
server can be configured within BBSM. BBSM then intercepts all SMTP packets and
forwards the packets to the IP address. This solution precludes the need for
users to reconfigure their e-mail program. Set the SMTP forwarding address as
Cause 2 | The user normally connects to the Internet through their corporate network, which is behind a firewall. |
Resolution 2 | In this instance, users must tunnel into their corporate network in order to receive e-mail. See Resolution 1 in order to only allow the users to send mail. |
IIS Proxy LAT Setup (BBSM 5.0 only)
Proxy Local Address Tables (LAT) add routes to the RRAS tables. These LAT table settings are needed for proper BBSM operation.
Symptoms |
Cause | The LAT tables in IIS under Web Proxy are not set up correctly. |
Resolution |
Note: | If you are prompted to save console settings, select No. |
PMS Does Not Post Charges
Symptoms | Billing is not posted to the Property Management Systme (PMS). |
Cause 1 | The Athdmn service is not started. This service must be set to start automatically. |
Resolution 1 |
Cause 2 | BBSM is not set up for PMS billing. |
Resolution 2 |
Cause 3 | The PMS is not connected to the BBSM server. |
Resolution 3 |
Cause 4 | Some PMSs require that a room is "checked in" before the PMS accepts a charge for the folio. This is most likely to occur during the final stages of an installation. |
Resolution 4 | Have someone at the front desk temporarily check the technician into the room. Once the PMS test is successfully completed, the front desk can then "check out" the technician. |
Note: | It is useful to request a print out of the BBSM room charge for future use. The property staff can then delete the charges to the guest folio created by the test. |
End Users Redirected to RadiusClearFail.asp
Symptoms | The client gets redirected to the radiusclearfail.asp screen over and over again. |
Cause | Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is not correctly configured on the BBSM server. |
Resolution |
Regroom Problems
Symptoms | Immediately after a site regroom, the BBSM network no longer functions correctly. |
Cause | A regroom occurs when all IP addresses are changed on a site. It is possible for this to occur because the ISP has changed or more IP addresses are needed. Therefore the ISP sent a new IP scheme. If a regroom is performed incorrectly or incompletely, problems occur. |
Resolution |
Verify the WEBConfig information and change this information if
RME 19+7 - "Sorry, a network error has occurred" Error Message
Symptoms | The user is unable to access the BBSM start page and receives the RME 19+7 error message. |
Cause 1 | The user attempts to connect to BBSM through an unsupported switch or though a switch that has not been set up within BBSM. |
Resolution 1 |
Note: | The port map could need to be updated if any changes were made to the switch information. |
Cause 2 | A previously generated port map has been corrupted. One or more switches were added to this site, and the port map was not updated or a port map was never generated for this site. |
Resolution 2 |
Update or generate the port map with these instructions:
Note: | If the BBSM server is part of a Building Broadband Service Director (BBSD) network, the port map can be restored if no changes have occurred on site since the last valid backup was performed. See the BBSD documentation on how to perform this restoration. |
Caution: | If existing switches are not temporarily disabled durind a port map update, the existing port map is erased and the entire property has to be remapped. |
Cause 3 | The SNMP read-write community string on the switch does not match the BBSM server. |
Resolution 3 | Change the SNMP read-write community string to match both the server and the switch. Refer to the for more information. |
Cause 4 | A previously configured switch has lost its configuration. |
Resolution 4 | Reconfigure the switch with the correct IP parameters. These parameters can be obtained from an up-to-date copy of the network diagram. |
Note: | An on-site technician must perform this step. |
Switches Are Unresponsive
Symptoms |
One of these symptoms occurs:
Cause | All of these symptoms indicate that a network switch was disconnected. The problem could be a bad Ethernet cable, an unplugged Ethernet or power cable, or the switch itself could malfunction. If a switch is merely mis-configured, traffic still passes through. Thus, the client receives a DHCP address, and switches located downstream of the suspected switch are reachable by support personnel. |
Resolution |
Determine the most likely location of the failure with utilities
such as ping and Telnet as well as the network diagram. Use this
Note 1: | Switch-to-switch and router-to-computer connections require a crossover cable. Switch-to-computer connections require a straight-through cable. |
Caution: | If you replace switches or move cables, return the same cables to the exact same port. If you do not, the port map is invalidated. |
Note 2: | The resolution to this problem could require a technician on site to perform troubleshooting. Check the network diagram in order to determine which, if any, switches are downstream of the suspected switch. It is possible that the network diagram does not reflect recent changes. |
This diagram represents Straight-Through Cable Wiring:
This diagram represents Crossover Cable Wiring:
URL Error Page
Symptoms | The user receives the you are connected but... error message. |
Cause 1 | The DNS server is not set to obtain DNS information from the Internet. |
Resolution 1 |
Enter the IP address of the ISP's DNS server:
Cause 2 | The DNS Service has cached bad information or is not started. |
Resolution 2 |
In order to restart the DNS Server:
Cause 3 | The Internet could be slow or the site could be unresponsive. |
Resolution 3 | Have the user try again later or try another site on the Internet. |
Cause 4 | The Internet connection (T-1 or T-3) from the ISP to the site could be down. |
Resolution 4 | Submit a trouble call with the ISP. |

Important Meetings for Sales & Property Management Professionals
The new Fair Work Australia legislation requires many industries, including real estate, to have a modern Federal award in place by 1 January 2010. If approved, this award will affect employees of corporations, and perhaps eventually, all other employees.
Many matters will be common to all employment sectors, however the real estate industry is quite different from any other (especially in its reliance on commission & incentive-based payment methods), and therefore is acknowledged by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission as needing 'separate consideration'.
The industry's employer and employee associations in most states have, over the past few months, negotiated an agreed position on many working conditions. We are one of very few industries where such agreement has occurred.
The Property Sales Association of Queensland (PSAQ), representing the interests of employees, has led the way in these negotiations, nationally. Now it is essential for the professional sales & property management people of the industry, to:
- be informed as to how you might be affected; and
- provide feedback to the people representing you in these matters.
In addition, there have been a number of recent changes as a result of the new Fair Work Act 2009. The more notable of these changes are:
- Changes to dismissal laws.
- The process for making Enterprise Agreements.
- The apparent discontinuance of 12-month wage averaging.
Everyone who works in the industry is invited to attend a free sixty minute information session about these matters. Presenters will be either Barry Gannon (PSAQ State & Federal Secretary), Andrew Ross or Tom French (PSAQ Vice Presidents).
This information affects almost every person in the industry - it's in your interests to know what is happening!

- Wednesday 27 May 2009 - 7.30 for 7.45 AM
- REIQ, 21 Turbo Drive, Coorparoo QLD 4151

February 2009 Report
February 22nd, 2009
On this website we publish our recession probability estimates and forecasts for the US economy obtained using the methodology in Paap et al. (2009), as described below. The website is updated every month, shortly after the release of The Conference Board's Coincident Economic Index (CEI) and Leading Economic Index (LEI).
Figure 1. Recession Probabilities for the US Economy
Figure 1 shows recession probability estimates over the last ten years up to January 2009. These are based on the CEI and LEI vintages released on February 19th.
In January 2009, the LEI increased 0.4 percent and the CEI decreased 0.5 percent.
Our first estimates of the coincident and the leading recession probability for January 2009 equal 100 percent. This indicates that the current recession did not end in January 2009 yet. Based on this month's vintage, we determine that the recession started in November 2007, since the coincident recession probability increased from 34 percent in November to 67 percent in December.
The probabilities are obtained from a Markov-Switching model for monthly growth rates for the CEI and LEI. The model assumes that the two variables share the same cycle, where the LEI leads the CEI with lead times at peaks and troughs allowed to be different. The model therefore produces both a 'coincident' and a 'leading' recession probability.
Figure 2 shows coincident and leading recession probabilities since January 1959. The blue and green shaded areas indicate months that are part of periods during which this probability exceeds 0.5 for at least six consecutive months. This corresponds with the popular rule of thumb saying that the economy is in recession whenever economic growth is negative during two consecutive quarters. The recession periods as determined by the NBER are also shown for comparison.

Time series plots of the February 2009 vintages
Figure 3 displays the time series plots of the log levels and monthly growth rates of the LEI and CEI, together with the recession periods as determined by the NBER, indicated by the yellow shaded areas. The leading index has a similar cyclical pattern as the coincident index, but with turning points clearly occurring earlier, and recessions lasting considerably longer.

Well, it is true that under CERCLA sewage wouldn't be defined as a pollutant. That deals with an entirely different set of rules and regs and different pollutants, not to mention specific circumstance. But that doesn't mean its not a pollutant under CWA definitions, ,or maybe biosolids…. Similarly, mud on a road is a pollutant under the CWA, and is the #2 pollutant in our waterways nationwide that also costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year nationwide due to mismanagement, and resultant mitigation expense.
The contractor is liable, not the EPA. I would recommend that the City manager etc. talk to a local consultant to sort this out.

Beer Events in Oregon Jan. 13-19
Take a look at these awesome beer events going on this week in Oregon from oregonlive.com. Events include Shot and a Beer Dutch Style and Beer Dragon at the Valley.
5-7 p.m. Friday, the Hop & Vine, 1914 N. Killingsworth St.;
Last year, Alex Ganum and Upright Brewing made a special Kopstootje Biere to pair with Bols Genever in a Northwest interpretation of the traditional Dutch Kopstootje or "little head butt" — genever sipped from a brimming tulip glass and followed with a beer. ..but not just any beer: Ganum's Kopstootje Biere is the perfect complement — a biere de garde lightly spiced with botanicals also used in Bols Genever to make a beautiful, dry, complex beer with a hint of malt. The combination debuts at the Hop & Vine and will soon be available at other bars, including Beaker and Flask, Circa 33, Grain & Gristle, Interurban, Spints Alehouse and Sunshine Tavern.

LOS ANGELES - A nurse was arrested for committing a sex act with a corpse at a hospital, police said Tuesday.
Alejandro Lazo, 61, was arrested at Sherman Oaks Hospital on Sunday for investigation of a state Health and Safety Code violation, a felony.
Lazo, who lives in suburban Reseda, was released after posting $20,000 bail, and he must appear in court on Feb. 11. There is no attorney of record and no telephone listing for Lazo.
Someone at the San Fernando Valley hospital reported seeing Lazo engaged in a sex act with the body, Officer Bruce Borihanh said.
Investigators haven't disclosed whether the body was that of a man or a woman, Borihanh said.
A voicemail message left with Van Nuys Division detectives wasn't immediately returned.
The hospital wouldn't provide any details about the incident or the nurse.
"We're deferring all comment to the LAPD," said hospital spokesman Ed Barrera.
Anyone who commits an act of sexual penetration on, or has sexual contact with, human remains without lawful authority is guilty of a felony, according to the California Health and Safety Code.
"Sexual contact means any willful touching by a person of an intimate part of a dead human body for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse," the code states.

We first got a tease last month, now Crestron has announced that they are shipping the MediaManifold, a 12-zone bidrectional CATV distribution amplifier. A compatible Cable Analyzer is shipping as well, but unless you're an installer you won't get to touch it—and probably won't want to anyway.
The big deal about the MediaManifold MM-DS-12 is that is claims to be the first 12-zone bidrectional CATV distribution amp that has individual gain and tilt adjustment. It also replaces all of those splitters, amps, cables and other parts of a distribution system that might be cluttering up your house.
Designed for RG-6 homeruns up to 300 feet, this device can crisp clear signals (including those from a security camera) to any TV in the home. Other features include:
As with all Crestron products, you're going to have to call an installer to get pricing as well as the product.
Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
Another communication platform is launched on LG smart TVs. What does it do?

Activity description: | CHI has drafted 5 resolutions for WTDC. These have been proposed by the following sector members � Aruba, Korea, Nigeria, Thailand and Vietnam, in their respective regional WTDC meetings. The 5 Resolutions requests ITU to: � Request member state parties� to pass a resolution stating that the Telecommunications Development Bureau (BDT) recognises the importance of children in the telecoms agenda as they form a key group of future telecom users, and that child helplines can be used as a strategy to reach out to more children and young people. � Request member state parties� to issue a three or four-digit toll-free number for each respective country�s child helpline. This number can be the universal access number earmarked for children, similar to emergency services numbers currently offered in many countries and should be accessible from both landline and mobile phones. � Provide links for strategic tie-ups between Sector Members and CHI. Sector Members can support the global child helpline movement as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility programmes (CSR). � Ensure that Sector members work with CHI to develop a Global Portal for children. � Recognise CHI as the coordinating agency for member helplines and to sign a comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between CHI and ITU. The decisions and actions taken at the WTDC in Doha (Qatar) in March 2006 can shape the development of global telecommunications and the position of children and young people therein. CHI hopes to work with ITU towards a world where telecommunication allows children to be heard one-by-one and, through their collective voice, fulfill their rights and true potential and to shape the world. |

Looking towards our vision for an ideal earth in 2050, to achieve our mission of a "Corporate Citizen of Planet Earth"
The earth's environmental problems are the problems of all humankind. How can we enable our children to inherit this rich and beautiful earth? It is time to bring together all the wisdoms of the world now.
Corporate activities are also closely connected with the earth's environmental problems. We can only create rich values in harmony with the earth by preventing global warming, effectively using resources and controlling chemical substances.
The Toshiba Group recognizes that it is a basic responsibility of people living today to pass on our irreplaceable earth environment to the next generation in a healthy condition, and has drawn up the Toshiba Group Environmental Vision 2050 (Note1) to help to achieve this. We are making efforts to create rich values, reduce environmental impact and exist in harmony with the earth throughout the lifecycle of our products, by manufacturing, using, reusing and recycling according to this vision.
The Semiconductor & Storage Products Company Group believes that it is the mission of a "Corporate Citizen of Planet Earth" to endeavor for the further reduction of the environmental impact and create rich, new values.

I bought a 44mm Paragon Machine Works head tube, thinking this was a great way to future-proof a mountain bike frame. Then it arrived: Holy Cow! This thing is massive!!!
Is it just me, or does this HT seem like overkill for a typical steel hardtail application? I'd like to hear from others that have used this HT. What was the application? And how was it to weld (or more important to me) fillet braze? It's so massive, it seems like it would be difficult to balance the heat between this head tube and a .8mm top tube/down tube.

AS THE GLOBAL POPULATION INCREASES AND DEVELOPING ECONOMIES CULTIVATE A growing middle class, corporations and consumers alike will seek affordable and efficient access to energy. These unprecedented demands will strain existing infrastructure and business models. The recent power outage in India where three of the country's power grids collapsed, affecting 670 million people, highlights the urgency of developing innovative, distributed power generation solutions.
Renewable energy sources create clean and sustainable power with a grid-friendly model. Solar power in particular has become one of the leading renewable sectors. The solar industry has been growing by 50 percent annually worldwide and has created over 100,000 jobs in the United States.
Although solar is a growing and promising energy source, it can be prohibitively expensive to identify the best potential cust- omers. Despite recent technological advancements that have decreased the cost of solar panel systems, the business develop- ment side of growing a solar power business remains a challenge.
Tony Frazier
Tony Frazier is the Senior Vice President, Marketing for GeoEye, a leading source of geospatial information and insight. He leads GeoEye's worldwide product management, communications, and field marketing. He plays a key role in evaluating and pursuing strategic growth opportunities for GeoEye.
Historically, the need to perform manual surveying and hand measurements in order to assess the solar return on investment (ROI) of an individual building's rooftop made the creation of a data-driven solar marketplace cost prohibitive. In order to measure solar ROI across a wide geographic region, a company would have to rethink how it measures rooftops, abandoning the manual measurement process.Now those costly and time-consuming procedures are no longer necessary, thanks to Geostellar, an innovative technology company that is transforming the solar energy industry.
The Geostellar Vision and Business Problem
Geostellar set out to encourage the creation of a robust commercial market for solar power by reducing the financial and technical barriers to finding a building's solar ROI, regardless of location. In particular, they sought to use data, analytics and computer mapping to encourage the ROI-driven installation of solar panels on rooftops, helping to increase the cost-effectiveness of renewable energy for both businesses and consumers by decreasing the cost and time required to assess the value of adding solar powers to a rooftop.
Geostellar developed an innovative analytics platform that automatically determines how quickly a given property owner can recoup an investment in solar energy. The company's platform replaces manual measurements with automated models of roof slope, shadows, weather patterns, local utility rates and renewable energy incentives. See Figures 1-4.

Hi there, I placed this order on January 27th knowing that the memory I had ordered was an "ordered on request" item.
Since then it took until Feb 13th to get a delivery schedule, which stated that the memory was supposed to arrive with dabs on Feb 21st. The expected stock date came and went, and now the item just displays as "delivery delayed". While I appreciate that dabs probably has little control of when stock arrives from suppliers, and Tammy and Abi at CS have always been prompt at replying to e-mails, I am still no closer to knowing when my order will actually be fulfilled, or why the shipment is delayed. For all I know I could be waiting another month.
Do you have any additional information? Is it normal for suppliers like Crucial to randomly miss a delivery date?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Turtle Tri 2007 Course Map
Well, this is the proposed course for the upcoming Tri in November. Thus far I have only run one time and I hated almost every second of it. I'm showing signs of improvement from absolutely hating it all. As for the other two parts, I've been cycling a bit and enjoying that and trying to build up my stamina for the swim. Tonight is the first night of my swim class which is coached by an Olympic gold medalist…I hope my form doesn't give him a heart attack.

Screenwriters J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will join Star Trek writing vet Roberto Orci in writing the J.J. Abrams produced Star Trek 3. Chances are you aren't familiar with these two new writers, but they already have a relationship with Abrams. They wrote the script for an adaptation of the graphic novel Boilerplate.
Orci wrote the previous two Star Trek films with Alex Kurtzman, but Kurtzman will not be a part of it this time around.
Star Trek 3 is currently untitled and unscheduled, but Paramount is looking to release the film in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the sci-fi franchise in 2016.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana are expected to return, and Attack the Block director Joe Cornish will most likely be taking the helm. If he does, he's an awesome choice!

J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay have been set to pen "Star Trek 3" for Paramount and Skydance Productions.

All current 'reboot' cast regulars like Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and Simon Pegg are expected to return
Though untitled and presently unscheduled, there's a big push to have the film ready for 2016 to time with the 50th anniversary of the franchise.
J.J. Abrams will produce but Not direct, no-one has signed on for that gig as yet but Joe Cornish ("Attack the Block") is said to be the current favorite.

Paramount Pictures have released a short new international trailer for their forthcoming action reboot Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Tom Clancy's literary icon will receive an origin makeover in a big-screen blockbuster set prior to any of Clancy's books.
British thespian Kenneth Branagh directs the film, as well as portraying the Russian antagonist, with Chris Pine leading as the rising young stockbroker recruited by the CIA to stop Branagh's Moscow-based billionaire's financial terrorist plot to collapse the Us economy.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit co-stars Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley, Colm Feore, Nonso Anozie, David Paymer and Peter Andersson. It's slated for the Us on the 17th January and the UK 31st January.

J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will co-write "Star Trek 3″ along with Roberto Orci, who penned the previous two installments for Skydance and Paramount Pictures.
Paramount and Skydance were at one point in talks with "Attack the Block" helmer Joe Cornish, but he is no longer involved.
As of now the film has no logline or start date but the studio hopes for a 2016 release. All of the main cast including Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are expected to return.
J.J. Abrams will produce along with his producing partner Bryan Burke and Skydance's David Ellison.
Abrams, who directed the last two, will not direct this one as he is already committed to direct the next "Star Wars" film for Disney.
Payne and McKay have ties to Abrams, most recently penning the Bad Robot pic "Boilerplate," which is still in development.
The two are repped by UTA and Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment. »

Paramount Pictures has brought on writers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay to write the screenplay for Star Trek 3, alongside franchise mainstay Roberto Orci.
We reported in October that both Roberto Orci and his writing partner Alex Kurtzman were on board to write the script, although their Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness co-writer Damon Lindelof is not involved. Now it seems that Alex Kurtzman has backed out as well.
The project does not have a title as of yet, or a scheduled production start date, although Paramount is hoping to have the sequel in theaters by 2016, a year which marks the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek TV series, created by Gene Roddenberry. Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana are expected to reprise their roles for the sequel.
Although J.J. Abrams is not directing this follow-up, he is still on board as a producer. We »

Earlier this week, director J.J. Abrams admitted that keeping Khan's identity a secret leading up to Star Trek Into Darkness might not have been the best move, in hindsight.
While doing press for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Benedict Cumberbatch jokingly called the director a "dickhead" for making him lie about his character.
"What a dickhead. I mean, the amount of times we had to lie for him. The amount of secrets, the amount of times I had to not talk about it being my character. God damn him."
When asked if he thought it was the right choice to keep Khan's identity under wraps, the actor had this to say.
"No, I love him. I don't know if it's a bad or a good thing. It was his call. I was fine with it. The intention was to have the reveal for the audience that was going to be thrilling, »

From the moment that Benicio del Toro (Sin City) and Edgar Ramirez (Elite Squad) were linked to the role of the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness, the fact that Chris Pine's Kirk would find himself up against his nemesis Khan Noonien Singh in the sequel to the 2009 reboot was perhaps the worst kept secret in Hollywood history. Sure, the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) as 'John Harrison', the continuous denials from the cast and crew, and Karl Urban namedropping Gary Mitchell might have had us questioning ourselves, but let's face it, was there a Star Trek fan out there who didn't think "I knew it!" when Cumberbatch dropped his "My name is Khan!" line?
Well, in an interview with MTV, director J.J. Abrams has admitted that he regrets the decision to keep Khan's identity a secret in the run up to the film's release: "The truth is, I »

Ouch! That was certainly our first reaction when we saw Chris Pine looking a little worse for wear in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Thankfully, though, the sight of the 33-year-old star looking all beat up was just the result of a little Hollywood makeup magic. (Phew.) It turns out Pine was simply shooting a scene for Horrible Bosses 2, the upcoming sequel to the very successful 2011 comedy. Pine will be sharing the screen with returning cast members Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey. Christoph Waltz has also signed on to be in the flick. Horrible Bosses 2 is slated to be released on Nov. 26, 2014. Fortunately, we »

Michael Benaroya ("Margin Call") has come on board to develop the spy thriller "Sentinel," optioning the Matthew Dunn novel that's part of the author's "Spycatcher" series.
Benaroya will produce through his Benaroya Pictures. Story centers on an MI6 agent who meets Sentinel, the code-name for his predecessor. Sentinel is managing a network of high-level Russian spies who are being killed off one by one while Russian nationalists are trying to cause war.
Dunn was an MI6 field officer who recruited and ran agents, coordinated and participated in special operations and acted in deep-cover roles throughout the world. He conducted over 70 missions before becoming a novelist.
Benaroya announced in September that his banner would finance post-apocalyptic thriller "Z for Zachariah," shooting in January and starring Chris Pine, Amanda Seyfried and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Based on the Robert O'Brien novel, that story follows a teenage girl who lives alone on »

One of the biggest complains about J.J. Abrams, and one of fans biggest fears heading into Star Wars: Episode VII, is the director's propensity for secrecy. His 'mystery box' way of producing a film reached ridiculous heights with Star Trek Into Darkness, as he adamantly refused to reveal whom Benedict Cumberbatch was actually playing, referring to him only as the terrorist John Harrison.
This has lead to plenty of backlash in the months since the sequel debuted this summer. Many, including the director himself, think the movie might have been better received if the advertising had been trueful about the inclusion of iconic villain Khan in this sequel that has gone onto been called the worst Star Trek movie of all time (which including all entries in the franchise including the reboots, the originals and Star Trek: The Next Generation).

This is where we start a war. We'll lose friends, and cause controversy. Because somewhere on this list below is something you're dying to see. In fact, you might be fanatical about some of these inclusions (Christopher Nolan fans, we're staring straight at you). But it's inevitable. And unavoidable. Hollywood is releasing hundreds of movies in 2014. Some of them will be good. Some of them will be bad. And some will be box office disasters. In compiling this list, we're not declaring that all, or even any, of these movies will be unwatchable. Some will be quite good. Maybe even a masterpiece or a classic in the making. There are a few that we're desperate to see ourselves. We really want them to succeed. But every movie here is a risk taker. And some of this shit? Hollywood should clearly know better. These are the 14 Biggest Potential Bombs of 2014.

"My contribution dealt mostly with Spock's ship. I played a little visual pun in designing the cockpit - the triangle intersecting the circle is a reference to the Vulcan Idic symbol from the original television show. And since the character's identity is still a mystery at this point in the film, I wanted this to be a tip off to all the Trekkies in the audience." - Nathan Schroeder The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew's maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S.

Program Notes
Reed was inspired by the poem Atlanta in Calydon (1865), by Victorian-era English poet Algernon Charles Swinburne, a recreation in modern English verse of an ancient Greek tragedy.
When the hounds of spring are in winter's traces, the mother of months in meadow or plain fills the shadows and windy places with lisp of leaves and ripple of rain
And soft as lips that laugh and hide the laughing leaves of trees divide, and screen from seeing and leave in sight the god pursuing, the maiden hid.
According to Alfred Reed, When the hounds of spring are in winter's traces, a magical picture of young love in springtime, forms the basis for the present purely musical setting, in traditional three-part overture form, of this lovely paean... an attempt to capture the twin elements of the poem, exuberant youthful gaiety and the sweetness of tender love, in an appropriate musical texture.
The Hounds of Spring was commissioned by, and dedicated to, the John L. Forster Secondary School Concert Band of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and its director, Gerald A. N. Brown. The world premiere was in Windsor on May 8, 1980, conducted by the composer.
