DOT To Revise Dangerous Intersection
Jul 15th, 2011 | By Submitted | Category: Front PageGreene Publishing, Inc.
Madison County drivers have a tough assignment ahead — that is, breaking a habit long ingrained by frequent usage. Police Chief Gary Calhoun advised the Madison City Commissioners of the coming change at their regular meeting on July 12.
Calhoun informed the commissioners that the Florida Department of Transportation will revise the lines and signage at the intersection of North Florida Community College and the Winn-Dixie Shopping Center on Hwy. 90W. He said that he and City Manager Harold Emrich have worked with the DOT since repair and repaving was completed on that section of the highway, detailing the dangers of the "suicide lane" at the intersection.
Calhoun explained that many drivers heading west from town pull into the turn lane (designed for drivers heading east) to turn left into the shopping center, while other drivers are trying to turn into the college entrance. Both he and Emrich cited the resultant many accidents and near misses, presenting a safety issue for the county. Both praised the DOT for its rapid response to the complaint.
Calhoun showed the commissioners a sketch of the DOT plan for correcting the problem. It includes additional signs, including "no left turn" and "do not enter," yellow-striped guidance lines, and raised pavement markers. The design will prohibit left turns into and out of the shopping center at that site. "It will be a right-out, right-in" place," he said. "Drivers wanting to turn left will have to use the street (Lawson Circle between Ken's and El Carrisal) or the entrance at Kentucky Fried Chicken."
Emrich added, "If this does not work, they will put up a cement blockade at that spot."
In other business, the commissioners voted to ask Emrich to talk with the owners/managers of Madison Heights Apartments to explain that the city will no longer send city employees to work on plumbing problems on the private property of the housing project. Commissioner Judy Townsend voted against the plan because she feels concern for low-income residents who might not be able to afford a private plumber.
The commissioners also held a public hearing on preliminary plans for a $2.9-million USDA grant for upgrading sewage lines, retrofitting some lift stations and removing others, and adding some lines to the system. Jim Parrish of Parrish and Associates will prepare the grant and present it to the USDA for review; then the commissioners will decide whether to continue with the application. Mayor Jim Catron commented, "This is a way to get some help on it instead of having our residents and businesses paying for it all."
On a motion to approve by Commissioners Myra Valentine and Jim Stanley, the board passed it unanimously.

Exploratory Pumpkin?
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Mon, 10/24/2011 - 7:14am.In the spirit of the season, here's a photo from Rep. Jon Hinck's facebook page. Perhaps a sign he's ready to take the plunge for the 2012 senate race.
One or both of Hinck and Matt Dunlap should be announcing their intentions soon. If it becomes a race, look for their first financial reports to be an important milestone. Both potential candidates will have to make an electability argument and prove they can take on Snowe and her warchest.
Main Clean Elections at Crossroads
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 7:32am.There's some irony to the fact that at the same time that large groups of people are now taking to streets and parks and the open air to protest the role of money, particularly corporate money, in politics, some very important decisions about exactly this issue are being made in the sheltered corridors of Maine's statehouse.
OccupyMaine Grows in Portland
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Thu, 10/06/2011 - 1:33pm.As the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York grows in size and attention (in Jon Stewart's words the media has moved "its coverage dial from blackout to circus"), a spin-off occupation has developed in downtown Portland.
The Portland-based movement now apparently includes a hard-core cadre of full timers who have set up tents in nearby Lincoln Park and a diverse group of supporters who have been stopping by to protest, march, or just join the "occupation," as the group dubs its presence in Monument Square.
Former LePage Spokesman Makes Case for Marriage Equality
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Mon, 09/26/2011 - 11:30am.The administration of Governor Paul LePage has been the most visible aspect of the new hard-line conservative movement in Maine and, for seven months, communications and political director Dan Demeritt was the voice of that administration.
(Granted, that voice often had to begin his statements with "What the Governor meant to say was...")
That's why it was surprising for many to see Demeritt's tweet last week: "I signed the Equality Maine petition today. Tough times easier with loving spouse. I wish the same support for everyone."
Proper Polling
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 7:26am.I've now written more times about how to properly interpret political polling than I can easily remember, including more than a dozen pieces here at Down East.
Maine GOP Chair Continues to Scapegoat Legal Voters
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Fri, 09/09/2011 - 1:49pm.In early September 2004, a swirling vortex formed over the Gulf of Mexico. It would grow to be Hurricane Ivan, the 10th most powerful recorded hurricane in the Atlantic, and would soon hit the Gulf States, causing $18 billion in damage. First, however, it devastated several Caribbean Islands, including Grand Cayman.
One of the casualties there was the St. Matthew's University School of Medicine. The campus and nearby student housing was badly damaged and the medical students, many of them Americans, had to be relocated.
Portland Mayor's Race Social Media Standings
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Fri, 09/02/2011 - 12:06pm.Photographer/blogger Corey Templeton of the Portland Daily Photo blog has put together an infographic showing the current Twitter followers and Facebook likes for the fifteen Portland mayoral candidates (click the image to enlarge).
Michael Brennan, David Marshall, and Ethan Strimling all have strong showings, likely due to their high name recognition after having held other political offices.
Mainers Speak Out on Congressional Redistricting
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 10:00am.Despite a beautiful August day yesterday, a public hearing at the State House drew a strong turnout of Mainers hoping to influence the bipartisan congressional redistricting committee as it considers competing plans for redrawing Maine's political map.
The plans could hardly be more different. The Democratic map moves only a single town (or, in their compromise proposal, a handful of towns), meeting the requirements of the process with minimal disruption of congressional districts that have remained largely the same since they were created in 1961.
Equal Marriage Supporters Gather Signatures
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Tue, 08/23/2011 - 9:32am.Supporters of equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples have begun their campaign to gather the 57,277 valid signatures necessary to place the issue on the November, 2012 ballot.
A Maine Political Conspiracy Theory Unravels
Submitted by Mike Tipping on Thu, 08/11/2011 - 3:22pm.Maine GOP Chairman Charlie Webster is working hard to sow doubt about Maine's election system and convince Mainers that his political opponents have engaged in coordinated election fraud. His campaign is in large part an attempt to derail a People's Veto effort launched to protect Election Day voter registration in Maine (a cause I support both personally and professionally).

"This is a slightly different twist on the old standard eggplant Parmesan. By peeling and sweating the eggplant you eliminate the bitterness and the panko bread crumbs add a nice crunch to the crust. Freezes so well!"
Watch video tips and tricks
cooking spray
2 eggplants, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons salt, or as needed
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons dried Italian herb seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups prepared pasta sauce
2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
FABULOUS! If you're a bit intimidated by all the steps, just use a jarred sauce (Mezzetta is very good), but whatever you do, don't skip a step in preparing the eggplant. Especially be sure to use panko bread crumbs as directed. They're a bit bigger and crunchier. Haven't tried freezing because we ate it all! Thanks so much for an excellent recipe!
Hmm. This was, ok. Eggplant parmesan is my favorite thing to order when we are eating Italian, and this just was not it. Eh...
38 Ratings
I changed a few things. I fried my eggplant, first dipping in flour, then egg and then Italian bread crumbs.
Even though it is healthier (not fried) it is still crispy & delicious! Leave plenty of time for prep - quite a bit of work for a week night. I sub'd fresh mozzarella for the shredded Italian cheese. This is a beautiful, brightly colored dish that presents well and The (Meat) King loved it!
AWESOME....A bit more work but well worth it. =o)
Last night was my first time to cook eggplant. It is delicious, even had some this morning for breakfast. This will definitely be a repeat in the family menu plan. Thank you for sharing Mama Smith
So my husband (who "hates" eggplant) was out and I decided to treat my daughter and myself to a dish we rarely eat, and I found this less-fattening version. Wow! I followed exactly except that I already had chopped onions and green peppers, which we use in everything, so sauteed those for the sauce. Amazing. Panko is a great sub for regular breadcrumbs. Son and hubby came home and both LOVED IT! I love that it's not fried. No bad fats, no need for salt except what was in the sauce. Next time I'll use my homemade sauce. So glad to bring eggplant to the whole family! Kudos to Mama Smith!
Really, even my meat LOVING boyfriend raved about this! I would suggest only using 2 eggs instead of the 4 that this recipe recommends. We used only 2 cups of our canned San Marzano tomatoes and added Italian seasoning to the sauce while it simmered down. FANTASTIC

Local elections are held in Ireland every 5 years in the month of May or June. At these elections, members of the local community elect Councillors to represent the community in local authorities. At present, there are over 3 million local government electors in Ireland.
The number of Councillors that may be elected to each local authority changes from area to area.
The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government may divide each, town, city or county area into smaller local electoral areas and may fix the number of Councillors that can be elected for each of these electoral areas.
Where the local authority area is not divided into local electoral areas, that area is regarded as one electoral area with all of the Councillors being elected from that one area.
The polling date is fixed by an order of the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and is the same day in all of the local authority areas. The polling period must last at least 12 hours between 7.00 am and 10.30 pm.
The responsibility for conducting the election lies with the secretary or clerk of each local authority who acts as the returning officer. Each local authority pays the cost of running the election.
There is a week for nominating candidates to stand at local election; this takes place 4 weeks before the polling day
On the polling day, voters may vote by secret ballot in their local polling station. The electoral system is based on proportional representation with single transferable vote.
If a candidate is elected to more than one local authority area, he or she must declare in writing which area he or she wishes to represent within 3 days of the public notice of the results of the election.
You do not have to be an Irish citizen to vote in a local election.
You must be over 18 years of age and you must live in the local electoral area.
You must be registered on the Register of Electors compiled every year by County and City Councils. You can find out more about registering to vote.
You may not vote in both a County Council and a City Council election. However, you may vote in a Borough or Town Council election as well as the County Council election. The Town or Borough Council election will be held at the same time as the County or City Council elections. You will be given two ballot papers and you can vote for candidates on both Councils.
The law in Ireland forbids the putting up of posters/signs on poles or other structures in public places unless you have the written permission of the owner of the pole or other structure in advance of putting up the posters/signs. Local authorities also have the power to remove these items should they disintegrate or cause a litter nuisance.
Following an election, a party/candidatemust remove posters
within a seven day period. After that date, an on-the-spot fine of
€150 is issued by your local authority in respect of each offence. Your local
authority will remove the poster and issue a fine.
To check whether or not your name is on the Electoral Register, enquire at your local Garda Station, post office, public library, local authority office and online at www.checktheregister.ie.
To be included on the Electoral Register, you must complete an application form and return it to your local authority. Application forms are available at your local authority office. You can find out more about your right to vote in Ireland
Once you have filled out the application form, you must post it to the local authority by freepost. There is no need to put a stamp on the envelope.
If you have a question relating to this topic you can contact the Citizens Information Phone Service on 0761 07 4000 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm) or you can visit your local Citizens Information Centre.

Posted 1:56 PM 2/25/2013 : UA professor: Chinese calligraphy still relevant in digital age
TUCSON - The beautiful black strokes mark an ancient art.
It's an art, thousands of years old, Chia-lin Pao Tao learned as a young girl growing up in China. "Once you learn Chinese calligraphy, you can use it the rest of your life," Pao Tao says.
She is a professor of East Asian Studies at The University of Arizona, where one of her classes is Chinese Calligraphy.
Pao Tao says while the form of expression may be old, it's relevant even in today's digital age. "No it's not dying," Pao Tao says. "It has a lot of artistic value."
The ink is made out of burnt pine trees. Several strokes create a symbol that can represent one English word. Pao Tao says students who have at least two years of Chinese language training can learn how to write after one semester. But it takes a lot of practice.
"I enjoy it because I think it gives you an aesthetic appreciation of Chinese characters," says Chris Oakden, one of Pao Tao's students.
Like most twenty-somethings, Oakden is in to social media, but sometimes he prefers the written word. "When you're writing out the characters yourself and you're using the brush, it causes you to ponder on the meaning in the words," Oakden says. "If you just type something out on a keyboard, there's a lot that can be lost."
Pao Tao also says the writing can help relieve stress. "When you write, you leave those bad feelings behind and you get good feelings in your body," Pao Tao says.
Even though it may be easier to text your message, a brush of calligraphy in any of its forms makes it personal.

Comprehensive study of solar conditions in Mozambique: the effect of trade winds on solar componentsNijegorodov, N.I.; Devan, K.R.S.; Simao, H.; Mabbs, R. (Elsevier Science Ltd. www.elsevier.com/locate/renene, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: A new algorithm to simulate all solar components and optimum slopes, Bopt, based on new models for direct normal beam and diffuse radiation and an analytical model to predict Bopt, developed at the University of Botswana is applied for complete study of solar conditions in Mozambique. The components of solar radiation depend to a large extent on the number of h of sunshine. However, it is obvious that cloud-cover is determined mainly by the prevailing trade winds, which carry moisture and rain clouds. This is of especial concern in coastal areas. In the current work, hourly, I, daily, H and monthly mean, H¯ components of solar radiation and the optimum slopes of a north-south aligned collector are simulated and analyzed for 21 synoptic stations in Mozambique. Monthly mean daily direct normal, H¯ bn solar radiation maps are plotted for December and June and discussed. It is found that, to a great extent, isoinsolation curves are determined by the prevailing trade winds, mountain chains and coastal conditions. Plotted maps of annual mean daily direct normal and global solar radiation also show tremendous dependence on the prevailing winds. Several special locations in Mozambique with quite high or very low solar radiation components are pointed out and the reasons explained. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/267 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The interaction of photons with matter has been extensively studied over the past several decades in view of its importance in basic radiation physics research, medical, industrial and other applied fields. Large amounts of data have been complied on photon cross sections mostly in tabular and graphical forms (Hubbell, 1999, 1994; Berger and Hubbell, 1987). A careful survey of the latest bibliography (Hubbell, 1994) of experimental investigations shows gaps in the cross section data, especially in certain low-Z elements. These are mainly attributed to the difficulty in procuring thin absorbers in suitable form for low energy experiments. It was also evident from the bibliography that the cross section data was sparse for elements Mg and V, especially, using high resolution solid state detectors in the photon energy region below 100 keV.

SAN BERNARDINO - Former Assessor's Office executives Bill Postmus and Gregory Eyler denied the criminal charges against them Tuesday at an arraignment.
Postmus, a former assessor, and Eyler, a former taxpayer advocate, entered not guilty pleas on all charges and denied all special allegations during the proceedings before Judge Michael A. Smith in San Bernardino Superior Court.
Smith ordered both men held over for trial at the conclusion of a preliminary hearing Nov. 8, prompting the arraignment proceedings.
The defendants face felony criminal charges stemming from an investigation into alleged malfeasance in the Assessor's Office while it was under Postmus' direction in 2007 and 2008.
The judge also on Friday confirmed Deputy Public Defender Rod Curbelo to represent Eyler, after the court was informed Nov. 19 that Eyler could no longer afford his private attorney, Stan Hodge.
But Curbelo is not completely sure his office can remain on the case.
"At this point, we have yet to receive any discovery in this matter," Curbelo told the court. "And we have yet to run a conflict check."
Prosecutor Lewis Cope told the court he was concerned a conflict could be forthcoming, given the history of the case.
The Public Defender's Office must review discovery to determine whether it has previously represented anyone in connection with the case, including witnesses, which could create a conflict.
In one of Postmus' other cases, which has a similar set of witnesses, the public defender declared a conflict April 30 and a conflict-panel attorney was brought on board to represent Postmus.
Eyler returns to court Jan. 7 to determine if Curbelo will remain. Both defendants come back Jan. 28 for a pretrial hearing.
Postmus took over as county assessor in January 2007, and investigators say he ran the office like a personal political operation.
Postmus was arrested Jan. 15, 2009 on suspicion of methamphetamine possession, during the serving of a search warrant at his Rancho Cucamonga home.
In July 2009, Postmus was charged with felony grand theft, misappropriation of public funds, perjury and drug possession and a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Eyler faces one count of grand theft and one count of misappropriation of public funds.

It is important to know that in Thailand you will be strongly judged by your appearance. Thai people, regardless of their background, will always put a lot of effort into looking groomed and being well-dressed and if you want to fit in and be treated with respect, you must do the same.
To Thai eyes, the casual clothes of Western tourists are often offensive – and make people look like beggars! Shorts are inappropriate, although they are OK for children. Especially in cities, no matter how hot it is, always wear long trousers, and it is best to wear tops with at least a short sleeve. Thai 'Fisherman pants' are popular and wearing them is all right, but if you think you're cool and 'going local' by wearing them with a tanktop, you are wrong! Please wear them with a shirt. Above all, never ever go topless in Thailand.
If you are visiting a Buddhist temple, please dress conservatively and take off your shoes before entering. When sitting down in the temple, it is best to kneel. Don't stretch your legs out in front of you.
Please don't climb onto Thai shrines. It is considered a serious lack of respect.

Pregnancy Calendar
Your little one now weighs about 9 to 12 ounces and has grown to about 6 to 8 inches in length. She's come a long way since her first days as a microscopic collection of cells but has a lot more growing to do. The average newborn is 18 to 21 inches long and weighs 6 to 9 pounds at birth.
The 20th week is an important time for your baby's sensory development, as nerve cells serving each of the senses. Taste, smell, hearing, seeing and touch are now developing into their specialized area of the brain. As these existing nerve cells get bigger and make more complex connections with each other, the brain's production of additional nerve cells will slow.
Believe it or not you're halfway there on the journey toward holding your new baby! Other baby developments this week include:
Stretched abdominal muscles. The enlarging uterus also will begin to stretch your abdominal muscles, and they may begin to pull apart as she grows. First-time moms may not notice such a separation, but with each pregnancy it becomes more visible.
These muscles are attached to the lower part of your ribs and stretch down to the pelvis. You can see the separation more clearly if you lie down and raise your head, tightening the abdominal muscles—you'll notice a bulge in the middle of your abdomen. It isn't harmful or painful, and although exercising can strengthen these muscles, the bulge will still occur. After you give birth these muscles will return to their original place, and the separation will become less noticeable.
Varicose veins. Most women who experience varicose veins are genetically predisposed to the condition. Varicose veins are simply blood vessels that are filled with pooled blood. They usually appear in the legs or vulva.
Wearing support hose, sleeping on your left side, and elevating your legs can help drain the veins. It's also a good idea to stay off your feet, wear flat shoes and avoid crossing your legs. Varicose veins usually become less noticeable after delivery.
*Offer benefits may vary. Limit one offer per household.

Release Date: August 21, 2002
South Dakota's Big Stone Plant will soon get an environmental upgrade that will virtually eliminate particulate emissions. Photo: Otter Tail Power Co.
MILBANK, SD - By this fall South Dakota will likely host one of the world's cleanest coal plants in terms of the tiny specks of fly ash emitted from its smokestack.
A cooperative agreement signed between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Otter Tail Power Company paves the way for installation of a new type of pollution control device on the 450-megawatt Big Stone Power Plant in Milbank, South Dakota.
When it begins operating this fall, the first-of-a-kind device is expected to remove more than 99.99 percent of the microscopic particulate matter released when coal burns – virtually eliminating a pollutant that contributes to haze and can cause respiratory problems.
If the device works as planned, the 27-year old Big Stone Power Plant will reduce emissions of airborne particles to less than seven one-thousandths of a pound per million British Thermal Unit – or 0.007 pounds per million Btu – more than four times cleaner than required by current clean air laws. (Clean air standards for the region limit particulate emissions to no more than three one-hundredths of a pound per million Btu – or 0.03 pounds per million Btu.)
The $13.4 million project is one of eight the Energy Department selected last October in a program called the "Power Plant Improvement Initiative." (One of the original projects has subsequently dropped out of the program.)
The Otter Tail project is the first to have completed negotiations with the government and received approval to proceed. The Department will finance $6.5 million of the project's total cost. The Otter Tail Power Company, headquartered in Fergus Falls, Minn., and W. L. Gore & Associates, of Newark, Del., will fund the balance.
The Power Plant Improvement Initiative was carried out in 2001 in the aftermath of a series of brownouts and blackouts that plagued major regions of the country.
With coal accounting for more than half the nation's electricity, the initiative targeted new technologies that could help coal plants improve their environmental performance, boost their output, and avoid premature shutdowns that could worsen the nation's power problems.
The demonstration of the highly-efficient particulate collector comes at a time when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is re-evaluating air quality standards for particulate matter. The EPA is to decide later this year if regulations should be tightened or otherwise modified. If more restrictive standards are imposed, demand for super-clean pollution control systems like the one to be demonstrated at the Big Stone power plant could increase significantly.
The new technology will be a hybrid system, combining the best features of baghouses and electrostatic precipitators, the two most common devices used today to reduce particulate emissions from power plants.
Baghouses are essentially huge vacuum cleaners that use a series of fabric filters to trap particles in the combustion gases emitted from coal boilers. Electrostatic precipitators rely on a series of plates and electrodes to create an electric field that charges particles in the gas stream. Just as static electricity causes objects to cling together, the charged dust particles cling to the plates.
Internal view of the Advanced Hybrid Particulate Collector showing the Gore fabric filter bags, electrodes, and collecting plates.
The "advanced hybrid particulate collector" being readied for the Big Stone plant improves both the baghouse and electrostatic precipitator concepts. Metal plates running the length of the collector contain numerous circular openings. In between the plates are metal rods that emit an electrical charge. Behind the plates are filter bags made of Gore-Tex®, the durable fabric more known for its use in outdoor wear.
When flue gas from the coal boiler enters the device, more than 90 percent of the tiny fly ash particles become electrically charged and adhere to the plates much like an electrostatic precipitator.
Particles eluding the plates flow through the openings and are trapped by the filter bags, which are especially efficient at removing extremely small particles.
The device is not only highly effective but also only one-third the size of a standard electrostatic precipitator, making it suitable for space-limited power plants. It was developed at the Energy & Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota under a research program administered by the Energy Department's National Energy Technology Laboratory.
W.L. Gore & Associates is licensed to market the technology to the utility industry and plans to sell it under the name "Advanced HybridTM Filter." Under the government's cost-sharing agreement, data on the advanced technology will be collected over the next two years. After that the system will continue to operate as a permanent part of the Big Stone Power Plant.

Amazon has yet again come out on top in a customer satisfaction survey, proving that is remains the company to beat when it comes to ecommerce.
And as if to underline just how successful Amazon is at creating an excellent customer experience, it actually came joint first and second in the Foresee study thanks to its .com and .co.uk domains.
It's not all good news for the ecommerce giant however, as Amazon.co.uk actually saw a two-point decline compared to last year, down from 86 to 84.
John Lewis came third in the study with 79, followed by Apple on 78 and M&S on 77. Unsurprisingly Ryanair came bottom of the pile with just 60 points.

Amazon has the most shares of its products on Pinterest than any other US retailer, though it seems to put less effort into curation than most of its rivals.
According to SearchMetrics, products from Amazon.com currently generate the highest average number of pins per week (16,360) on Pinterest, followed by Walmart (5,778) and Apple (3,871).
So is Amazon doing anything especially well on Pinterest, or is this due to the sheer ubiquity of its products?
For larger retailers, is it worth the effort, or should you let your 'fans' do the hard work?

During the run-up to Christmas, which companies are bidding on paid search terms for the most popular products, and which have the most effective landing pages?
I took a look at paid search in my beginner's guide what is paid search (PPC) and why do you need it? last month, and since then I've been a lot more attuned to this method of search engine marketing.
However I've also realised that PPC ads are for nothing, and a complete waste of searcher's time and an advertiser's money, if conversion isn't happening.

In the run up to Christmas 2013, it seems that online fashion retailer ASOS is the top UK brand on Pinterest, generating 1,728 shares per week.
These findings come from the latest study by Searchmetrics, based on the top ten UK retail sites.
Every company in the top 10 has set up its own official Pinterest page, largely as a result of the image based platform becoming the third biggest social network globally and increasingly responsible for driving traffic towards ecommerce.
ASOS has recently redesigned its homepage to put added emphasis on content marketing, and already has a strong cross-platform strategy when it comes to social.
Here's some more stats that highlight ASOS's success on Pinterest.

Consumer reviews are very valuable, both for the sites displaying them and the customers using them to help with their purchase decisions.
However, the credibility of reviews has come under attack over the past couple of years, with lots of examples there are plenty of examples of brands that have been caught out.
As it stands, online customers tend to trust reviews more than most sources, except recommendations from family and friends, but that could change.
Reevoo has just published a plea to Amazon, asking for the online retail giant to ditch all but its verified reviews.
So, should Amazon heed this plea?

As has been the case for the past few years, it's safe to assume that tablets and e-readers will be a popular gift idea this Christmas.
And with ecommerce spending in the UK predicted to reach £20.4bn in the final two months of this year, brands need to be visible in search results to maximise their sales.
New data shows that Amazon is in prime position to benefit from the spending spree as it is highly visible in SERPs for a number of popular electronic items.
This is particularly true for tablet and e-reader devices, where the retailer features in the top positions for 80% of popular keywords in organic search.

Paid search marketing has many names, wears many guises and works alongside many other nebulous terms.
Search engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimisation (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC), cost-per-click (CPC), cost-per-impression (CPM) search engine advertising, sponsored listings, paid for placement, and that's before you get to services provided by the search engines themselves – Google AdWords, Yahoo Bing Network.
It's a lot to wade through.
As a relative newcomer to the digital marketing world, I've decided to begin a series of 'beginner's guides' to uncover what is meant by certain terms, trends and technological advances in digital; being both a travel guide and a personal investigation.
Last week I covered Native Advertising, this time I'm going to take a look at paid search. If you're an expert in the field, this article may not be for you, however please feel free to leave any advice or guidance in the comments below.

An effective site search tool is hugely important tool for ecommerce as it's a common way for shoppers to navigate sites and find products.
In fact up to 30% of visitors will use the site search tool and these tend to be highly motivated shoppers who know exactly what they're looking for.
The speed in which results are returned is very important, but there are also many other factors that influence the overall user experience and could be the difference between making a sale or losing a potential customer.

Although the hotel is a bit far from the town centre (1st beach), there's a funny tractor that runs the route at least 3 times a day. There's a fixed timetable for this service,... More

Ms. Schneider came to visit!
Article posted June 8, 2009 at 04:20 AM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1714
I was so excited when my sister Ms. Schneider came to visit us at school on Thursday! I had a lot of fun showing her the different things we're learning, and I loved the stories she read at the end of the day. She is going to college in St. Louis, Missouri, so she cannot visit us often, but I love when she's in town and can stop by. What did you think about Ms. Schneider's visit? What did you like most? Did you have any questions you wanted to ask, or things you wanted to say? I know she'll be checking our blog and would love to leave comments!

Today I went to a technology conference organized by NICE (Northern Illinois Computing Educators). I learned more about blogs, wikis, digital storytelling, Comic Life (taught by Mrs. Epcke), and more, by attending different sessions. I am so excited to try using some of the new things I learned!

Yesterday I worked with a lot of people to make fleece blankets for Project Linus. Project Linus brings the blankets to kids who are sick, so they can snuggle and feel better. It felt really good to do something nice for other people, and I hope I can do it again soon!
Voice Thread and Unstoppable Me!
Article posted January 9, 2009 at 12:41 AM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 376
I really liked the book Unstoppable Me! by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer that we read in KidSmarts this week. When we talked about Voice Threads before winter break, many of you were nervous or anxious about trying it out. But today we welcomed the unknown, and enjoyed the Voice Thread adventure. It was so fun to see all of you typing your poems and reading them into your Voice Threads! Then, after we worked on our Voice Threads this morning, I had some trouble figuring out how to put them on our blogs. But don't worry. Mrs. Epcke and I really want to see the Voice Threads on our blogs, and we're going to be persistant. Dr. Dyer says persistance means that you work really hard and don't give up.
It was very interesting to me that I was able to take what I read in a book and make connections to things that happen to me during the day. Have any of you made connections to Unstoppable Me! this week? You can comment here or write an article about it on your own blog.

It's the scariest thing ever to realize how much someone means to you. When it hits you, I mean really hits you, all these thoughts and questions rush through your head at once. A sad emotion even starts to creep on you slowly inch by inch as you start to wonder.
What if for some reason things don't work out? —How are you possible going to live without them?
Someone that was once a stranger now is the only person you know like the back of your hand. Someone you once had no emotions for, now has the power to break your heart. Someone you never used to hang out with , now owns must of your time. Someone you never thought you would love, now owns your entire heart. Someone you once lived without , you now wish to hold on FOREVER.

Mass Communications Professor Mike DeCinti and students, Matt DiChiara and Mike Maynor, are still enjoying the success of their new video "Love Living in Lumberton." The 12-minute video premiered in November at a Hollywood-style champagne reception. It required eight months to shoot and edit and promotes the city in five segments, including business, education, health care, housing and lifestyle. A promotional project of the Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce, the video was a hit, said Becky Bullard, chair of the Chamber's Economic Development Committee. Bullard is also a trustee. "I was impressed, and while our committee did put some of project together, it was the work of Mike and his students that made it happen," Bullard said. "The project is educational, and it improves the image of Lumberton and Robeson County." "It was about genuine people talking about the opportunities and assets of this community," she said. The video included footage of UNCP as well as from UNCP people. The education segment is narrated by Lorna Ricotta (Advancement), director of Corporate and Foundation Relations. John Masters, a Lumberton CPA and adjunct professor in the School of Business, narrated the business piece. Chancellor Meadors was featured along with Robeson Community College President and Public Schools of Robeson Superintendent Colin Armstrong. DeCinti said he was pleased with the final product. "I am very happy with the quality of the video, and I believe it is a successful promotional tool for Lumberton," he said. "It was a very big project, and some of it was shot as long ago as last March," DeCinti said he was especially pleased with the quality of work by his students. "Matt and Mike did a great job that went well beyond the requirements for the academic credit they received," he said. DiChiara said the project was an ultimate learning experience. "We had a deadline and a client, so we worked under a lot of pressures," DiChiara said. "We made the choices, artistically and creatively." Maynor said the project put them to the test at times. "Some days were really easy, and some days we were outside all day in the heat," Maynor said. "I really learned a lot about the working world." Both students said the project was a great learning experience and good for their resumes. "It's the best thing on my resume," DiChiara said. "This project taught us more than any class." "It taught us more than shooting and editing," Maynor said. "We had clients and worked with people. We had a plan, but we had to be very flexible." The reaction on premier night was "overwhelmingly positive," said DiChiara, who is a Lumberton native. "It was a very warm welcome, and I had fun." The Lumberton Area Chamber of Commerce funded the production through contributions from its members. The black-tie and champagne premier was held at the Black Water Grille in downtown Lumberton.

Think Kids Are "Overmedicated"? First Consider This.
I've argued before that declaring American kids and teens to be "overmedicated" is something of a cop-out.
How can people say what constitutes overmedication when they can't – or won't – specify what would constitute an acceptable number or percentage of kids taking psychiatric meds?
Still, I do care about the numbers, because they can give us clues as to which kids and how many are getting appropriate treatment for emotional and behavioral problems.
A recent and widely publicized study by researchers from The National Institute of Mental Health provides data on some -but not all – key measurements of youth medication use.
Its main finding: Just one in seven teens with a diagnosable psychiatric conditions have recently taken medications to treat it.

Old Marco Man: You obviously have no idea about what it takes to run a City. There are areas where we could eliminate some spending, but when you compare our City Budget to other cities with the same size and infrastructure, we are not out of line.
If you have specific suggestions, you are aklways encouraged to present them or send them to City Council for consideration. But remember, there are 18,000 full time residents of which 13000 are registered voters and everyone has a say in how the Island is run. The Council has 7 (seven) members who represent all of us. And one of the three rfecent Council victors was victorious by 185 votes or 93 residents. The Island is not run for your apporval or liking, but rather for all of us.
I have sent a money saving suggestion to Council. I suggest that we do not need a Police Chief and a Fire Chief. An island our size could operate with a Director of Public Safety who would oversee both the Police and Fire. Saves a salary and a pension.
