HELENA - Candidates across Montana are talking about the oil boom and what the state Legislature can do to help address the impacts.
Richland County and Fallon County are the two biggest producers of oil in Montana, but now residents in Daniels County are beginning to see to production start in their area.
Apache Corporation is drilling the very first oil well there, about 40 miles northeast of Opheim. Julie French lives in the area and is running as a Democrat in Senate District 18.
"As a person who has lived here all my life, there is excitement with the opportunity for economic growth in our communities," French says. "But there is also the worry and the concern about the impacts that will naturally come with this development."
Oil companies receive a tax break during the first year a well is pumping. But, French says, the Montana Legislature needs to look at changing that tax holiday so local governments have more money to deal with impacts to water and sewer systems and roads.
French says that's not all. She says often times landowners don't own the mineral rights on their property and so the Legislature needs to look at protecting the landowners.
"In here are pages and pages of mineral leases that have been recorded at the county courthouse. As I look at this one, from one month, I would guess that I only know 20% of the mineral owners that are leasing in Daniels County," French says.
French says that with many of the mineral owners out of state, they often cut deals with oil companies and the landowners are out of the loop.
French's opponent this November, state Senator John Brenden (R-Scobey), also says the Legislature needs to change a few things, but the tax holiday isn't one of them.
"I think if you stop the holiday here in Daniels County, let alone eastern Montana, these companies are going to go to North Dakota," Brenden argues.
He says the problem lies with the State of Montana that takes about 50% of all the production taxes and leaves the other 50% to the counties and school districts.
Brenden would like to see all of it stay at the local level.
"It should all come back to the local level. I don't care whether those taxes are in Chouteau County, I don't care if they are in Missoula County, wherever that impact is," Brenden says.

Martin Solveig
Martin Solveig
Though he grew up singing in the church choir and studying classical music, by age 13 French DJ Martin Solveig had his first pair of turntables and soon began showing off his skills to his friends. At 18, while working in a local record store, he further discovered the complexity of electronic music, and shortly thereafter was spinning at some of the most prestigious clubs in Paris. In 2001 Solveig worked with Bob Sinclar on Africanism, contributing his track "Edony" to the album. The single went on to be a hit, and after graduating from college, the DJ decided to release a full-length record. Sur la Terre -- which came out in 2002 on his own label, Mixture, and was made using both live and electronic instrumentation -- was also inspired by African rhythms, leading to a remix of Malian singer Salif Keita's song "Malan." In 2004 Solveig decided to move toward American funk and rock, releasing "Rocking Music," sung by Jay Sebag, followed by another full-length, Hedonist, in 2005. A third album, C'est la Vie, was issued in 2008, but it was only with his fourth effort, 2011's aptly-titled Smash, that he finally broke through into the mainstream, attracting the interest of Madonna. The singer chose him to work on her album MDNA, and the pair developed a mutual respect and a close working relationship in the studio. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Hanging out in Hannover, Germany
Linux in Munich
At CeBIT, Florian Schießl reported on his experience with the LiMux project, which migrates desktops at Munich's municipal authorities to Linux. Schießl reported on the introduction of open source applications and on standardized Linux basic clients. Some 38 percent of costs were due to staff training – a major item, but definitely a meaningful investment in competency. Training is being monitored by the University of Munich, and the city's eLearning offerings won the 2007 Eurela Award. TÜV-It certified the usability of the Linux client.
Open Source Inventors
The motto of 20-year-old inventor Pascal Schmitt's exhibit was "Please touch." Schmitt presented a light table with a multi-touch screen (Figure 2) and matching applications, all of his own design. The inventor used Linux and other open source tools for his project. Unlike other touch screens, the multi-touch screen detects touching with multiple fingers, which makes it multi-user capable.
Because normal touch screens cannot handle multiple mouse pointers, Schmitt has developed custom applications, including a mind-mapping program and an onscreen keyboard.

text: I personally just might order this. With rising energy costs, I`m just going to put fans in every room. This double window fan draws in fresh, cool air from the outside or exhausts stale, hot air from inside. It can also do both simultaneously, because each of the two fans can be set independently to draw in or exhaust out, allowing the unit to exchange inside and outside air. Operable either manually or automatically--with its thermostat turning the fans off and on to maintain a selected temperature--the unit has a one-touch electronic control and two speeds so it can be adjusted to conditions. It`s designed to fit double-hung, vertical-slider, and casement windows. A built-in 7-inch extender and two 3-inch extenders permit custom fitting for windows from 24 to 37 inches wide. Because the unit is lightweight plastic it can be moved easily from room to room. The fans have six blades and measure 8-1/2 inches in diameter.

Handicapping the hottest US Senate race in the country – GOPs Scott Brown versus Democrats Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren V Scott Brown |
Conflicting polls have shown both the incumbent, Republican Scott Brown, and his challenger, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, in the lead. The findings have all hovered around the margin of error; observers believe that it is neck and neck.
The conventional wisdom had been that Warren, something of a celebrity candidate because of her high national profile, has what it takes to defeat Brown. An accomplished Harvard Law School professor, she has been a tireless advocate for American consumers and presciently warned of the dangers of predatory lending practices long before the current crisis came to pass. Indeed, the thinking was that Warren's resume would render her an ideal fit for liberal Massachusetts. Democrats nationally had been concerned about the potential pool of candidates to take on Brown before Warren declared her interest in the seat.
Moreover, as one prominent Democrat told me, Barack Obama is likely to win Massachusetts by more than 20 percentage points over the state's profoundly unpopular former governor, Mitt Romney, in this presidential election year. As such, he believes that the chances of a large enough slice of the electorate transferring its preference from Democrat to Republican on the very next line on the ballot are slim.
The logic and the math are very difficult to dispute. Why then is the race so close? There are three readily identifiable factors at work that reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable.
First is that Elizabeth Warren is a completely untested political novice and, in the context of a contentious campaign that involves an extraordinary amount of scrutiny, something of an unknown quantity. Doubt has been cast by Warren's enemies in the media – especially the Boston Herald and its legendary columnist, Howie Carr – over her claims to have grown up in poverty and her Native American ancestry. The latter issue just won't go away. Neither the candidate nor the campaign has dealt with it well. As it gives rise to suspicion that Warren took advantage of her minority status to advance her career, there is no doubt but that it will damage her, particularly with white, working class voters.
Additionally, there is the "carpetbagger" problem. Many voters in Massachusetts resent the idea that an outsider, who was born and raised in Oklahoma, is seeking to represent them in Washington, DC. That she is a Harvard Law professor who lives in Cambridge only exacerbates things. The Warren campaign has produced a television campaign ad in which voters with strong Boston accents praise the candidate for being a "fightah" to mitigate the perception of her as an outsider. But it won't go away that easily.
Second is that Scott Brown is a superb political candidate. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, Brown's opponent in 2010, discovered that his electoral appeal cannot be underestimated.
This time around, in full knowledge that Elizabeth Warren is going to aggressively court female voters and highlight their different positions on issues important to women, Brown has released two powerful television campaign ads featuring three of his most valuable political assets. They are his wife, former Boston television news reporter, Gail Huff, and his two beautiful daughters, Ayla and Arianna.
In the first, Huff, a trusted and popular figure in her own right, notes how well a woman gets to know her husband over the course of a marriage and describes Brown as "probably the most understanding man of women I know." In the second, Huff recalls her very hectic days as a television reporter and states that Brown was the one who was always there for their two daughters because of his more flexible schedule as a self-employed lawyer.
While these two ads can't erase Brown's vote to allow employers with moral objections to birth control to deny health insurance coverage for it to female employees, they will vitiate any effort to paint him as anti-woman. Also, Brown did fare much better with female voters in 2010 against his female opponent than virtually anyone would have predicted.
Third is the Irish, and the wider ethnic Catholic, vote in Massachusetts. At home, I availed of the opportunity to discuss the campaign with Irish-Americans in city neighborhoods like Dorchester, in close-in suburbs like my native East Milton, and further down the South Shore – or "Irish Riviera" as it is commonly known – in Hingham. The discussions were revealing and present a significant challenge to the Warren campaign.
Those with whom I spoke with are from traditional Boston Irish Democratic families. They tend to be populist economically and more conservative socially. Although most indicated that they would be voting to re-elect President Obama, in a majority of instances because of their distaste for former Governor Romney, many who plan to support the president do not plan to vote for Elizabeth Warren.
They are wary of her for a variety of reasons: her stridently pro-choice stance on abortion; the questions that have arisen over her upbringing and Native American heritage; the fact that she is not from Massachusetts, or even from anywhere nearby; and doubts about her capacity to empathize with them from within Harvard's ivory tower.
The Warren campaign will need to work earnestly and reach out directly to this not inconsiderable segment of the electorate that could make the difference in November. Elizabeth Warren will need to stress that she and her party, not Scott Brown and the Republicans, will stand up for them when it comes to access to higher education or the rights of labor unions or the regulation of the financial sector. At the same time, cognizant of the reality that voters would rather have a beer with Scott Brown than with her, Warren must make the case that substance and conviction matter more than personality. Warren just can't take the votes of Irish-American Democrats, favorable disposed to Scott Brown because of his support of the E-3 visa bill, for granted.
These three factors will continue to shape the dynamics of the campaign. It should be very interesting. This columnist will be watching closely. See more: Irish GOP

Your information as I call the old Irish from Boston is correct on what I'm hearing. Some would call them Conservative Democrats. A few facts to mention. Warren supports the Obama Healthcare bill which has 21 new taxes in it, of which 12 will directly increase taxes on the middle class. Warren supports this bill and therefore she supports raising taxes on the middle class. Brown will hammer her on this and she will not be able to run from this.
The unenrolled, or as some call them, the independents, are supporting Sen. Brown. All the polls show Warren is way behind. One poll recently showed Warren was as much as 20 points behind Brown and this is an increase. This race will be decided by the Independents and Brown will be the winner in the fall.

You got it all wrong, Brown is a middle of the road Republican while Warren is a Liberal Democrat.

age of consent
In family law, age of consent refers to the age one can give meaningful consent to enter into a marriage. If over the age of 18 years, meaningful consent is presumed. However the presumption may be negated if the person lacked capacity due to mental retardation, illness for duress.

Tomorrow's Mobile Home
Recently we looked at a 1946 prediction for a gigantic atomic-powered sphere that would traverse the country as a kind of hamster-ball land cruise for humans.
About a decade earlier there were predictions of a similar looking ball — but for use as homes. The September, 1934 issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics imagined the house of the future as an enormous sphere that would make moving easy if the home owner simply wrapped large tires over the thing and towed it with a tractor.
If spherical, the house of the future can be easily transported to its building lot, set in place, and the fixtures added. The shell is first pressed into shape; then windows are cut, and only a protective tire is need for moving.
The article's title was "When Home Owners Roll Their Own" and in some ways took the streamline moderne style of architecture to its logical conclusion: the sphere.
For well-known reasons, a tank or vessel shaped like a ball is strongest and lightest. Spherical tanks, gas containers, etc., have been made; the only problem is to construct them, since ordinary methods are not very successful.
A recent patent (No. 1,958,421) deals with pressing metal into shape in a curved container, and pumping in liquid under pressure to swell them out.
Should spherical houses come into favor, as modernistic architects predict, the shell of a house could be made thus; the necessary openings cut; and it would be rolled to the owner's lot as shown. Properly built-in fixtures would even stand such moving.
The patent that the article refers to was filed on December 17, 1932 by E.G. Daniels. Patent 1,958,421 explains a new method of making spherical containers. It was common for magazines like Everyday Science and Mechanics and Electrical Experimenter to look at the recently filed patents and imagine what fantastical advancements of the future might be achieved.

I live in a spherical home. It is very nice.
Think the front door of the spherical house would be difficult to close.
May need to tie a string onto the door knob ;)
through ted talks, and hopes for singularity and innovation technology we engage in the same types of futurism and speculation today.
In the tech industry now, you can NOT read or talk about patents, because it might create an issue for your company if in any circumstances one day you infringe one of them by chance.
Make 'em easy for tornadoes to pick up!
Through contemplation of futuristic thought process one can only believe that such items will be in common place consumption. However one would like to believe that we would use natural resources in a more productive way such as dwellings that use the earths warmth and cool to control the climate in living quarters. I love the look and idea of such homes but cant help wonder is it not practicle to build homes into the crust of the earth.
I would love the modern mobil home! I would also like it to take flight by haveing the means to move itself through a rotating outside shell or some type of device to give lift to the object. Possibly floors that can protrude from the shell as wings allowing harrier type lift.

Training like Rocky with a hula hoop
If she's asking for something, you know it's for a good cause. When Owens asked me to be a part of the seventh annual Lifesavers event Saturday, I never even considered turning her down.
That's how I found myself in the absurd position this week in embarking on a rigorous training regimen in an effort to claim the title of Hula Hoop Champ.
I haven't had a hula hoop around my waist since I was around 5, so I had forgotten how difficult it is. Owens brought me some hula hoops to choose from. I foolishly selected the smallest one, thinking that it would be easier. I have since learned that smaller hoops are much harder, especially for beginners, because they rotate so much faster.
My hula hooping training sessions so far have been less than encouraging. My wife has been provided with plenty of laughs, and my 2-year-old son has even proven to be a superior hula hooper, but I haven't let that discourage me.
I've even turned to some of my favorite movies, the Rocky series, for inspiration.
Rocky Balboa trained for championship fights through unconventional methods. Rocky didn't just focus on punching bags and sparring in the ring. He also did things like chase chickens, chop wood, lift big rocks and run in the snow.
Like Rocky, I'm betting that my opponents have probably been training for Saturday's contest by strictly conventional methods. I didn't have any chickens to chase, but my son is just as elusive and I've been chasing him all over the place. I have found plenty of big rocks to lift and wood to chop on our property here in Yazoo County. All of these hills also offer great conditioning opportunities.
Another thing I have in common with Rocky is that I will be considered a major underdog heading into this competition. Among my opponents are legendary coach and athlete Ken Carter, Major Nelson Tate - a highly trained law enforcement officer and the defending champion - and Shannon Sudbury, a former college athlete with a national title ring on his finger.
Robert Coleman, Scooter Griffin, Bruce Pearson, Judge Bennie Warrington, Joe Henry Smith, Mario Edwards and Clarence Stinson are all also sure to be formidable opponents.
These are fine men and I admire them all, but on Saturday at 1 p.m. they better be prepared for battle. If any of my opponents decides to withdraw from the competition and declare me the champion after reading about my intense training regimen, I will think no less of them.
Like Rocky, I will be entering Saturday's contest with "The Eye of the Tiger."
I've chased the child until I caught him, lifted the rocks and chopped the wood. I've even raised my arms in victory after successfully running to the top of my driveway.
Now if I can just get that hula hoop to spin.

April: As he so often does, Sebastien Loeb made victory in Argentina his with another display of brilliance for Citroen. Here Loeb charges through the lunar landscape of the El Condor/Casilla Negra stage on route to win number seven in South America. Mikko Hirvonen made it a rally to remember for Citroen by coming home in second place with Mads Ostberg a fine third following Dani Sordo's late retirement. The Spaniard was making a one-off appearance for the factory Ford team in place of the injured Jari-Matti Latvala but was forced out with alternator failure with the finish almost in sight.

Category: The Possibility of You
Fictional or Real, The Right Name Is Powerful
A lot of you know that, besides being the co-mistress of Nameberry, I'm a novelist. In fact, my new book, The Possibility of You, comes out today.
While writing about names and writing historical fiction are often very different enterprises, there are times when my worlds collide. Like when it's time to name my characters.
For some fiction writers, character naming might be a minor consideration, somewhere above comma placement but far below such elements as title and voice and what the characters eat for dinner.
Not so for me, of course, with the character's name being his or her most important defining characteristic. In my view, the character's name contains a kind of DNA code for who they are and where they come from, what they value and how they hope to change.

Opening Wednesday November 13 is Nadia Sablin's "Aunties"
Reception with the Artist: Wednesday Nov. 13, 3 – 7 pm, D271
Aunties is a series of photographs detailing the lives of two of Sablin's unmarried aunts who live in Northwest Russia. Having spent their youth working in big cities, after retirement the two women have come back to their childhood home. Alevtina and Ludmila are in their seventies, but they are choosing to return to the traditional way of life in Russia, chopping wood for heating the house, bringing water from the well and making their own clothes. The vegetables the women harvest in the fall and the berries they gather in the summer supplement the meager pensions on which the elderly subsist in Russia.
Sablin's photographs are an exploration of two women's reliance on each other, ancestral tradition and land as a means of survival. The house in which Alevtina and Ludmila live was built by their father. The rugs were woven by their mother. They contribute to the home as well, with new wallpapers, hand-sewn curtains, quilts and lace. Handwritten recipes are folded to contain seeds for planting, or rolled up balls of stray hair. The meticulously weeded garden sprouts flowers among the strawberries and onions. Their rural environment is as much a character as they are themselves. The project is a meditation on aging, family and a sense of belonging.

Am I here?
Why do I feel like part of me has been left out?
Remember Star Trek when they would transport from one place to another?
It's as if I've been transported but am now patting my body to make sure all my parts made it, too.
Yep! The hips and thighs definitely made it.

Hi DQ Maureen;
Just made it here myself ~ LOL!! Glad to see all the "T" Tramps over on this side.
Glad I'm finding my way around, even if it is by trial and error ~~ sure been some errors but getting better. They say "better with age" but I'm sure that's not the case here ~ but my wine sure is getting better. LOL
Thanks to all these wonderful Red/Pink Hat Sisters it's getting lots easier.
Hugs to ALL.

Glad to see you made it. I received my comment about the T. If I could keep
little kids away from it I could get more autographs. There were two that kept trying to take it off to their car. Maybe in the fall I'll take a taser and zap the little b**ts

Re: Am I here?
Well, heck! You're right Darlene. That just shows you how alert I am!
I chat with some of those ladies that are on a different website that is an RHS chapter in itself and I was invited by Queen Mo. It's like here in that it is very friendly and non-judgemental. Mostly TN and Bama gals with a few CA gals thrown in. I tell you those southern gals really know how to Red Hat! They are doing stuff all the time and full of the devil! It's fun to read their postings.

I keep hoping that everytime bedlam breaks out on the old board,
(gotta stop calling it that!!), that more will return here.
No such luck, I guess.
I just drop in once in awhile... and check all of my groups. Not much going on.
I'm going off the computer for awhile... want to enjoy the last week DH is off
from work!!
Like you said... it would have been nice.

Re: Am I here?
I believe they'd rather listen to the 121+ RHS members who post at the old board.
That's right... the lowest count in April for posters on the QMB was only 121,
and the highest.. was 145.
Don't know how many post over here, as some only post in their own groups.
I think that RHS only listens to you if you're one of the ones who:
1) attends their conventions
2) orders things from their store
3) participates 100% i.e. spends money
Not if we're just rural red hatters who don't have any money, who just do the
occasional red hatting with our chapters, and participate a lot on the internet.
At least that's the way it seems to me!
I'd rather participate here, where there are REAL friends, rather than the ones who will be nice to you to your face, and then trash you behind your back.
Or, in some cases , trash you to your face.
SO HAPPY to BE HERE again!
this site is sooooooooooo sloooooooooooow.
On the other hand..
I can get a lot of housework done while I'm waiting for the pages to load!!

Re: Am I here?
He He He.....guess that's what I would call a win / win situation, Mitsie. You get a clean house and we get to spend more time with you...

Several instructional models have come in and out of favor in the brief history of the learning disabilities field. The most prominent are the developmental, behavioral, information-processing, and cognitive psychology viewpoints, and more recently the constructivist school of thought. Each differs from the other on the questions of what and how children should be taught.
Behavioral strategies are among the most consistently effective of all intervention approaches because they are so systematic and organized in presentation, and correct responses are rewarded immediately. These principles are summarized in the table below.
Principle | Example |
Systematically reinforce (repeat, attend to, praise) appropriate responses and do not reinforce errors | Praise "sitting in seat" behavior and ignore times out of the seat |
Pair neutral events with positive reinforcers so that the neutral behavior takes on positively reinforcing value | Pair working hard with praise |
Highlight cues that differentiate stimuli and pair them with different responses | The letter b points to the right, say "b"; and d points to the left, say "d"; make all bs red during instruction while ds remain black |
Model appropriate responses | "Listen to how I would talk through this algebra problem aloud"; "watch how I organize my desk" |
Make positive outcomes contingent on the less valued behaviors, to encourage less valued behaviors | Make free time contingent on one-half hour of library research |
Shape correct responses by means of successive approximations | Ignore the fact that Juanita does not intersect the I and o of the letter b until she can draw each individual element correctly; first teach Juanita to sit politely beside classmates in the lunchroom and then help her practice conversation entry skills |
Carefully control the rate of presentation of new materials | Introduce only four new social studies concepts or spelling patterns daily |
Distribute practice over time rather than massing it | Review class notes daily rather than cramming the night before the exam |
Preplan relearning and generalization of skills | Periodically insert mastered material into classwork in order to review and encourage application of this information to new contexts |
Continually measure/evaluate interventions and outcomes | Evaluate retention of spelling words when taught by different methods; evaluate time on task when different types of reinforcers are used |
Present information systematically so that easier subskills precede harder ones | Teach subtraction before division |

Have you ever called your mutual funds family and exchanged the share in your growth fund for shares in a value fund? If so, you know that you pay capital gains taxes. A swap like this actually requires selling those growth fund shares. Or try bartering your professional service. Offer, say, your medical services for a friend's legal services to avoid income tax. If you're audited, the IRS will nail you for not reporting the equivalent of wage income. But if real estate's your game, then swapping is a way of life. One of the sweetest tax breaks ever devised is the section 1031 exchange, which allows you to swap investment property on a tax-deferred basis. Although sometimes known as like-kind exchanges, these transactions don't have to involve identical types of investment property. You can swap an apartment building for a shopping center, or a piece of raw land for an office building. You can swap a second home that you rent out for a parking lot. It's a tremendous deal, you can't do that with stocks or bonds or personal property. Originally, Section 1031 transactions were designed for people who wanted to exchange properties of equal value. Suppose you own land in Oregon and you trade it for a shopping center in Rhode Island. If the values are equal, nobody pays taxes even though both properties may have appreciated since they were originally purchased. One variation involves properties of unequal value. Let's say you have a small piece of property, and you want to trade up to a bigger one by exchanging it with another party. You can make the transaction without having to pay capital gains tax on the difference between the smaller property's current market value and your lower original cost. That's good for you, but your partner doesn't make out so well. Presumably, you have to pay cash or assume a mortgage on the bigger property to make up the difference in value. Known as "boot" in the tax trade, your partner must pay tax on that part transaction. Work Through an Agent To avoid that, you could work through an intermediary, who is often known as an escrow agent. Instead of a two-way deal involving a one-for-one swap, your transaction becomes a three-way deal. Your replacement property may come from a third party through the escrow agent. Juggling numerous properties in various combinations, the escrow agent may arrange evenly valued swaps. Under the right circumstances, you don't even need to do an equal exchange. You can sell a property at a profit, buy a more expensive one, and defer the tax indefinitely. You sell a property and have the cash put into an escrow account. Then the escrow agent buys another property that you want. He or she gets the title to the deed and transfers the property to you. But you need to move fast. You must identify your replacement property within 45 days of selling your estate. Then you must close on that within 180 days. There is no grace period. If your closing gets delayed by a storm or by other unforeseen circumstances, and you cannot close in time, you're back to a taxable sale. Advance Planning Required Some accountants and lawyers specialize in Section 1031 exchanges to make sure that you qualify. Because it's such a significant tax benefit, there are all kinds of restrictions and pitfalls that you've got to be careful of. You've got to dot all of your "i's" and cross all of your "t's". A Section 1031 transaction takes advance planning. Find an escrow agent that specializes in the transaction. Contact your accountant to set up the IRS form ahead of time. Some people just sell their property, take cash and put it in their bank account. They figure that all they have to do is find a new property within 45 days and close within 180 days. But that's not the case. As soon as (sellers) have cash in their hands, or the paperwork isn't done right, they've lost their opportunity to use this provision of the code. Section 1031 doesn't apply to personal residences. But the IRS lets you sell your principle residence tax-free as long as the gain is under $250,000 for individuals and under $500,000 if you're married.

Douglas R. Thomas - All true. And social media really isn't the best platform for delivering standardized, corporate messages. We have national and global traditional media for that.
Local engagement with a personal touch is more likely to garner customer retention than a generic brand campaign, especially when it comes to customer service issues. Customers value personal interaction on the phone and on social media alike. Considering Whole Foods also 'acts locally' sourcing certain food/produce from local vendors (a quality that attracts part of their customer base) local social engagement, though more complex, seems like a worthwhile endeavor.
jwallace - and you see the brands content via your friends, hello! :)
Whole Foods is pretty smart. I think they understand that.
One of the keys to effective social marketing is to get people to share branded content with their friends.
1 hour a day imho isn't sufficient. I sort of see it as customer service only being avail 1 hour a day. I do love whole foods in Austin (ROCKS!!) and cry almost every time I'm there (as homeaway.com is located diagnally across the street)
Whole Foods Austin has so much going on in the store to keep their feed continuously flowing throughout the workday from reminders of different tasts of the food venues to new item/product showcases.
I commented on HEB's main page yesterday regarding a $6 purchase of hot guacamole that wasn't prepared remotely to my satisfaction (still ate it of course) and the brand commented RIGHT AFTER me avoiding my comment completely. IMHO, that was an opportunity for them to engage and diffuse. I even opened the complaint with I LOVE HEB but.. and the comment was dispalyed on top as well. imho, the brand manager failed.
"They go on social media to hang out with their friends." Each account must have a unique and compelling story."
and you see the brands content via your friends, hello! :)
Mr. Roques - You have to trust your employees sometime. I think in the case of Whole Foods they've benefitted that the risk of rogue employees is more than counterbalanced by the benefit of localization.
@Mr. Roques
Reality isn't neat, pretty nor does it come tied in a bow... From my prospective authenticity is the one super power every person has (if they can only tap into it...). If the staff are well trained and follow basic posting guidelines, a little over step or marginally misguided quote only adds to the authenticity, that they have real people communicating not a bunch of flacks..
I believe it could create a big headache if the person that handles one local store, does publishes something that they shouldn't have (if they also have to do their normal job). They have to trust a lot on their employees, which we have seen can sometimes be a mistake.
We are a million times smaller than Whole Foods, but I can also confirm that local social media really works well.. We are a neighborhood bakery and there isn't' anything as affordable nor as powerful as Facebook for creating Earned, Owned, and Paid media to reach our customers, friends and fans within our ZIP code..

Find out what's going on with other Youth Programs in the area:
This Workplace Readiness Program is a comprehensive year-round approach to school retention. In-School students between the ages of 14-18 who are considered basic skills deficient are recruited at the beginning of the ninth grade year and receive intensive intervention until graduation. Remediation, academic support and constant mentoring afford the students the greatest opportunity for success. A two-week summer component will acquaint the 14-15 year olds with the world of work in an effort to bridge the gap between school and work. At program exit students will receive follow-up services for one year.
Building Futures for Youth is a comprehensive year-round program providing intensive support services for both in-school and out-of-school at-risk youth in Transylvania County. Through a coordinated service delivery system this program offers the following services: 1) tutoring and dropout prevention activities, 2) alternative secondary school choice, 3) summer employment, 4) paid and/or unpaid work experiences, 5) occupational skills training, 6) leadership development, 7) supportive services, 8) adult mentoring, 9) 12-month follow-up, 10) comprehensive guidance and counseling. The goal of Building Futures for Youth is youth empowerment through information and access to education and employment resources.
Any Buncombe County youth at risk age 14 to 21 may participate in the program. Ages 14 and 15 will be guided to appropriate volunteer experiences or seasonal work that does not interfere with school. Ages 16 to 18, who are in school, will receive employment guidance that supports individual educational goals. Other youth who are out of school may participate in employment related services, and will also receive direction about continuing education.
This is a summer employment component in coordination with the year-round Title I Youth Work and Vocational Training Program for the mentally challenged. The Youth Work and Vocational Program provides the following services: 1) basic educational skills, 2) in-school retention, 3) exposure to the world of work through vocational training and summer work experience, 3) citizenship skills, 4) pre-employment and work maturity skills. The Handicapped Summer Work Program provides part-time work experience opportunities include maintenance, food preparation, and grounds keeping. This is an innovative program in that mentally handicapped students are being trained for competitive work. The goal is to offer the opportunity to develop positive work habits and attitudes, which will be transferable into the competitive work force.
This Workforce Development Project (WDP) is a collaborative approach to developing the at-risk youth potential using primary and secondary case managers. The project goal is to build a network of community resources supporting the workforce development of our low income/at-risk youth. The WDP components include: 1) subsidized placement at a variety of worksites, 2) occupational skills training at Madison High School and AB Tech, 3) in-depth career assessment and development, 4) scholarships for out-of-school participants, 5) adult mentoring, 6) follow-up for one year following completion of the program.
This Youth Program provides intensive case management service for Out-of-School Youth. Individuals are recruited from the high school dropout population, referral from partner agencies, juvenile justice system and employers. After comprehensive assessment of education and employability skills an individual career plan is developed based on the individual's desires, abilities and labor market analysis. The JobLink computer lab is equipped with PACEWARE to facilitate testing for work maturity skills and prescribe a lesson plan to achieve marketable employability skills that employers require in today's labor market. GED instruction is available through ABTech by distance learning through Plato Software online. This youth program provides structured activities and a supportive atmosphere with caring adult supervision to assist young people to successfully complete their education, attain occupational skills needed in today's work force and successfully enter the labor market.

Cowan, Donald A.; Ah Tow, Lemese (Annual Reviews, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: The Antarctic continent harbors a range of specialized and sometimes highly localized microbial biotopes. These include biotopes associated with desiccated mineral soils, rich ornithogenic soils, glacial and sea ice, ice-covered lakes, translucent rocks, and geothermally heated soils. All are characterized by the imposition of one or more environmental extremes (including low temperature, wide temperature fluctuations, desiccation, hypersalinity, high periodic radiation fluxes, and low nutrient status). As our understanding of the true microbial diversity in these biotopes expands from the application of molecular phylogenetic methods, we come closer to the point where we can make an accurate assessment of the impacts of environmental change, human intervention, and other natural and unnatural impositions. At present, it is possible to make reasonable predictions about the physical effects of local climate change, but only general predictions on possible changes in microbial community structure. The consequences of some direct human impacts, such as physical disruption of microbial soil communities, are obvious if not yet quantitated. Others, such as the dissemination of nonindigenous microorganisms into indigenous microbial communities, are not yet understood. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/145 Files in this item: 1

By Appointment
"My tummy tuck has given me a new lease on life. Despite exercising, I had loose abdominal skin and a middle-aged pouch after two pregnancies. So when I needed to have a total abdominal hysterectomy, I had an abdominoplasty along with it. My abdomen is now flat and I wear clothes that I avoided before. I feel more attractive, younger, and thinner."
"I was left with an excess amount of skin following weight loss after gastric bypass surgery. My doctor at Columbia performed a brachioplasty on me and did a wonderful job. I have recommended him to my family and friends."
"My surgeon is a godsend. He injected my forehead with BOTOX® and now my 'worry lines' are gone. I cannot thank him enough for the superb job he did on my face. Having the procedure was a big decision, especially because it involved work on my face; every woman knows how scary that can be. However, it turned out wonderfully. It was so easy and fast. I never dreamed I could be so happy with the results. From the first to the last, everything went so smoothly. The doctor is a gifted surgeon, and the people who work in the hospital couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. Thank you all!"
"For many years I felt self-conscious and uncomfortable about the size of my breasts. Finally I decided to take a chance and go for a consultation. A friend of mine recommended Columbia University Medical Center. From the moment I walked into his office I was put at ease by my doctor's professionalism and friendly manner. I had the surgery and I am so happy; I feel more confident and feminine. The overall experience was wonderful!"
"I would put my life in my doctor's hands any time."
"Unfortunately, I inherited my mother's large, heavy, pendulous breasts. For years I suffered with back pain, sores and scars on my shoulders. I finally decided to have a breast reduction at Columbia University Medical Center, and it was the best move I've ever made. I experienced very little discomfort, and the results were far above my expectations. Today I am a perfect size 38C. I was thrilled by my doctor's work. I had absolutely no pain, was comfortable moving about my house, and recovered in a few short days. I love how I now look and feel about myself. The doctor who operated on me is extremely talented and does amazing work. I recommend him highly."
"My wife kept telling me how tired and old I looked, even when I felt great and thought I looked good. A friend of mine recommended Columbia University Medical Center. I liked my surgeon immediately, and after speaking with him I became comfortable with the idea of surgery. The surgery was a complete success, and the results are phenomenal! I couldn't be happier." "Best thing I ever did. Virtually painless, 10 days downtime, 10 years younger." "Any procedure is only as good as the person performing it. I had no qualms about turning to my surgeon at Columbia University Medical Center. His professionalism, thoughtfulness and willingness to devote as much attention as required to address my concerns, made me trust him immediately. I was back at work after a week, looking fresher and feeling younger. Now, one year after, I wonder why it took me so long to have the procedure."
"Having a face-lift was the best thing I ever did. I feel and look great. My Columbia surgeon was with me every step of the way. The office and hospital personnel were kind and understanding. As a result I trusted his abilities as a surgeon. Mostly the proof is in the results."

By Beth Klos, R.D., L.D.N. As that little shiver in the air reminds you that fall is turning into winter, you wrap your fingers around a warm ceramic mug filled with your cold-weather friend: coffee. Even the aroma — rich and spicy with a hint of citrus — makes you feel warmer, not to mention more awake. With every sip, you feel a lift. And as the morning brain fog lifts, you wonder, is there a downside to this tasty brown stimulant? Is it a feast of antioxidants or a nasty stew of chemicals? According to information presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in 2005, coffee was the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet. That distinction is due to the amounts of coffee Americans drink — 400 million cups a day according to a trade group — rather than coffee's unique nature. Portion for portion, many other healthful foods have as much or more antioxidants, and are rich with other nutrients that coffee doesn't have. For example, strawberries have twice as much antioxidants, and walnuts have about 13 times as much! If you are looking to maximize the antioxidants and others nutrients in your diet, don't drink more coffee. Your antioxidant intake will skyrocket if you include more fruits, nuts, vegetables and whole grains.
Coffee has more than a thousand different chemicals. In addition to that familiar ingredient, caffeine, coffee contains:
Before processing, coffee contains a significant amount of phenolic antioxidants. Surprisingly, roasting coffee beans to enhance the flavor also increases the overall antioxidant content, though it destroys some phenols in the process. Certain brown antioxidants, called melanoidins, form while the beans are roasting and may more than make up for the losses. Coffee and Caffeine - The Dark Side Caffeine has some possible negative effects on the body. These include:
Coffee drinkers may not have the healthiest lifestyles either. According to two large, long-term studies, 30% of heavy coffee drinkers are smokers. They are also more likely to drink alcohol and less likely to exercise and take multivitamin supplements. Also, coffee may worsen acid reflux. Over the years, researchers have studied many facets of coffee's effects on health, including a possible connection between coffee consumption and three major health threats: heart disease, cancer and diabetes. There's no conclusive evidence at this time that coffee hurts or helps our health. But here's how the evidence stacks up so far. Heart Disease We've known for a while that espresso, French press coffee, and other coffee made without a paper filter raise blood cholesterol levels and are likely to increase the risk of heart disease. That's because, without a filter, two compounds — cafestol and kahweol — wind up in the coffee. Most coffee, however, is made with a paper filter that catches the compounds. Therefore the drink doesn't pose the same threat. Fortunately espresso is served in small portions or used sparingly in cappuccinos and lattes, which lessens the harm. But people should avoid regularly drinking boiled or French press coffee. We also know that caffeine can temporarily raise blood pressure in some people. But when it comes to whether caffeine increases the risk for heart disease and heart attacks, the evidence is less clear-cut. Reassuring results from several large studies didn't show any more heart disease among long-time coffee drinkers. Even among those who drank 6 cups a day, researchers didn't find any increased risk. We don't know, however, if something else about coffee drinkers was protecting them. Cancer In the past, it was feared that coffee increased the risk of cancer. But more recent, well-designed research has challenged this idea. When cigarette smoking is factored out, coffee does not seem to raise the risk of any type of cancer. In fact, several European and Japanese studies showed decreased rates of liver cancer among coffee drinkers, though why this occured is unclear. It's possible that coffee drinkers share another trait that reduced their risk. There have been numerous studies looking at the association between colorectal cancer and coffee. The results are mixed: some show coffee reduced the risk while others show it had no effect on risk. Until more studies are done, it's hard to say either way what effect coffee has on cancer. Diabetes According to short-term studies of coffee's effects on the body, it appeared to lower insulin sensitivity, which means that the body's cells don't recognize or respond to insulin very well. Because insulin's job is to prompt cells to take in glucose, over time this effect could increase the amount of glucose in the blood and the risk for type 2 diabetes among heavy coffee drinkers. But a 2004 study by Harvard researchers that followed more than 125,000 men and women over many years, found that those who drank four to five cups of coffee a day had lower rates of type 2 diabetes compared with people who didn't drink coffee. The risk was even lower for people who drank six cups a day. A study published this month in the journal Diabetes Care also found a protective effect of coffee for certain groups of people. This study of mostly middle-class white men and women in their 60s was unique because some of the participants had higher-than-normal glucose levels, which increases the risk for diabetes. The study found the clearest positive effect for people in this group who drank one to four cups of coffee per day but not for those who drank five or more cups a day. These results conflict with the Harvard study, leaving some remaining questions for researchers to answer. It's difficult to say why coffee has a positive effect on diabetes risk. Is it the caffeine or another component in coffee at work? Or is there something else about coffee-drinkers that protect them? (And unfortunately, not all large studies have found this effect, adding to the uncertainty.) Experts think that over years, caffeine may increase insulin sensitivity, help the body mobilize glucose, and decrease body fat, which may account for its positive effect on diabetes. It's difficult to draw hard and fast conclusions about coffee's effect on health. For now it seems safe for most healthy adults to drink paper-filtered coffee in moderation. Drinking more coffee to prevent disease isn't recommended because we don't know why coffee drinkers seem less likely to have certain illnesses. The best approach is to be cautious about how much espresso and boiled coffee you drink and to eat plenty of antioxidant-rich foods. Also, pay attention to other lifestyle factors, such as exercise, smoking cigarettes or feasting on empty-calorie foods.
