Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Computer revolutions occur every 3–5 years. Something new happens that changes everything. Of course, we always have the marketing buzz telling us that revolu-tionary new things happen every 3–4 months, but I'm talking about really significant changes.
A recent revolution that everyone has been talking about for the last few years is the web services revolution. In the "web services paradigm," as it is called, the tools of the web form a framework for building custom applications tailored for the needs of a corporate customer. If you are computer-savvy enough to be reading this magazine, you probably learned about web services technologies a long time ago, and you don't need a refresher course on how web services are taking over the world. Or do you?

Click here for all the Third Round Proper results
Click here for the Fourth Round Proper draw
Alex Lawless has been voted the latest Budweiser Player of the Round.
The Luton Town midfielder scored the only goal of the game as the Conference Premier promotion hopefuls secured a shock Third Round win over Wolves at Kenilworth Road.
That strike, and his all-round performance, earned Lawless over half the public vote, ahead of Aldershot's Danny Hylton, Macclesfield's Matthew Barnes-Homer and Brighton duo Liam Bridcutt and Andrea Orlandi.
The Hatters are one of only two non-League sides left in this season's competition - the other being Macclesfield - and they will travel to Norwich in Round Four.
Lawless will receive a commemorative Player of the Round trophy and will be invited to this season's FA Cup Final at Wembley as a guest of Budweiser and The FA.

Heading to Phoenix in mid march. Any tips on good restaurants (mid price range) and what area to stay? (hotel, condo rental, etc) Relative in the 101/17 area, so that's a destination. Has anyone bid Priceline for Phoenix hotels?This message has been edited. Last edited by: nance425, | |||
Just bid a hotel on Priceline for a hotel in Tucson, all the travel sites had it for $20o, got on Priceline for $82. Just a bit of information | ||||
We liked the Scottsdale area when we visited several times - many years ago. There are a ton of great restaurants. Don't know how long you will be there but we really enjoyed touring the deseert botanical gardens. We also rode up into the Superstition mountains and had chili at the cafe up there. Nothing spectacular but a good day trip.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming, | ||||
Have 4 full days there. Span riv: checking Priceline as we speak. Hotels are TOTALLY "out of this world" priced in Scottsdale/Phoenix area. It's spring training time. Read March is the most expensive month for hotel rates. Charming: Botanical gardens is now on my list. Do you remember how far Superstition mtns is? Told DH we should have booked longer. Reasons to go back...and take some friends with us. | ||||
We stayed in Scottsdale on our visits so I'm not sure. I'll take a look see. Also, if you wander up towards Scottsdale - the Frank Lloyd Wright's western Taliasin (sp) is there and open for tours. Check in advance for days open. Perhaps you can check Tempe for hotels. | ||||
charming - Taliesin and Botanical Gardens are now on my list. Also, hoping to do a road trip to Sedona and a jeep tour thru the rugged terrain up there. DS lives in North Phoenix around 101, so not far from Scottsdale. I think most of the action for us will be in SD. Do you remember where you stayed? I see they have quite a selection of hotels/resorts there. I heard March is the most expensive month for hotel rates because of spring training. This message has been edited. Last edited by: nance425, | ||||
It was quite a few years ago and it was company paid but we loved the hotel - Camelback Inn. It is/was a Marriott property and we stayed there twice. | ||||
we also stayed in the scottsdale area...(family) but yes, spring training will be hot and heavy...checked and it's about a 2+ hour drive to flagstaff (sort of the gateway to the grand canyon) | ||||

The All-American Hamburger Chain Opens at Lincoln Plaza in San Jose
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, local franchise owner Maria Eugenia Handal Canahuati expands the Johnny Rockets international footprint by opening the brand's first restaurant in Costa Rica at Lincoln Plaza, an upscale shopping, dining and entertainment hub located on the northeastern side of the city's capital, San Jose.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120112/LA35131LOGO)
An international restaurant chain that offers the food, fun and friendliness of timeless, feel-good Americana, Johnny Rockets restaurants serve a variety of traditional favorites that include hamburgers, American Fries served with a ketchup smiley face, classic sandwiches and hand-spun shakes and malts. With its upbeat music, friendly service and dancing servers, it provides an engaging, interactive dining experience that will appeal to both local residents and area visitors.
"Lincoln Plaza was the perfect site for our first restaurant in Costa Rica because of its focus on families and fun," said Handal Canahuati, owner of Desarrollos Gastronomicos Internacionales Corporation. "Children and their parents can grab a delicious bite to eat with us before or after shopping, seeing a movie at The CCM Cinemas, testing their skills at RIFT Laser Tag, or playing at the kids' zone on the third floor of the mall. We add an extra layer of fun to an already enjoyable day!"
As the nation's capital and largest city that brings in more than a million people daily, San Jose was ranked #5 in The MasterCard Global Destinations Cities Index 2013's "Latin America Top 10 Destination Cities by International Overnight Visitors" list and is expected to receive 1.4 million visitor arrivals this year.
"Costa Rica is a beautiful, vibrant and biodiverse country that welcomes tourists and embraces the American culture," added John Fuller, President and CEO of Johnny Rockets. "Having a presence in San Jose, the nation's economic hub, is critical as we continue our ongoing development in Central America."
Located on the street level of the second floor at Lincoln Plaza, near the main entrance, the 1,990-square-foot Johnny Rockets seats 85 Guests. It is open Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Election officials counting previously untallied ballots in a New York congressional Democratic primary say incumbent U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel is expanding his lead over his top challenger, who went to court last week to ensure counting would continue.
Rangel was 989 votes ahead of state Sen. Adriano Espaillat, New York City Board of Elections spokeswoman Valerie Vazquez said Friday evening after counting had ended for the day in the state's 13th Congressional District. The district includes precincts in both Manhattan and the Bronx.
Rangel stood at 18,920 votes and Espaillat had 17,931 at the close of business Friday, according to results released by the city's board of elections.
Results released last Saturday showed the 21-term congressman 802 votes ahead of Espaillat. Those figures were released after Espaillat's campaign filed a lawsuit contending too many ballots were left outstanding in Tuesday's election.
Officials completed a count of valid ballots in the race Friday, and will resume counting Saturday those which were considered invalid on election day -- incompletely marked or cast by someone who appeared not to be a registered voter at the time.
"If a campaign chooses to prove an invalid is valid, deemed with appropriate documentation, and consensus from the bipartisan team of board of election staff, it will be considered as a vote," Vazquez said.
Rangel added 143 votes to his lead over Espaillat on Thursday, when city election officials counted 521 ballots.
Espaillat conceded hours after the polls closed June 26, when preliminary results showed him approximately 2,300 votes behind Rangel.
Vazquez said last Saturday there are 3,270 absentee and affidavit ballots (given to voters whose registration status was uncertain on election day) to sort through and potentially count.
Espaillat is Dominican-American in a district where 55% of eligible voters are Hispanic and, if elected, would be the first Dominican-American elected to Congress.
The winner of the Democratic Party primary is expected to win the November general election in the district.

NSU's Porter Named DII Bulletin Super 16
Photo by Jim Hogue |
Nova Southeastern women's basketball guard Meixandra Porter was recently selected as part of the Women's Division II Bulletin Super 16, a preseason ranking of the best players in the nation.
The Women's Division II Bulletin selected the two best players from each of the NCAA DII regions. Porter was chosen to represent the South Region alongside No. 21 Alabama-Huntsville's Jasmine Hammon.
"Because Meix' had a great junior season and helped our program finish the year strong, she is deserving of the Super 16 preseason recognition," head coach LeAnn Freeland said. "She is one of our hardest workers and is always looking for ways to get better."
Along with All-South Region accolades, Porter earned All-Sunshine State Conference First Team honors in her NSU debut season last year. The starting guard scored in double-figures in 25-of-28 games played, all of which she started. On the year, she averaged team-highs with 14.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and three assists per game.
The DII Bulletin also released its preseason Top 25 for both women's and men's basketball. Rollins appeared at No. 10 in the women's rankings. In the men's poll, Florida Southern was No. 15, and Saint Leo was No. 23.

Last week we brought you a gallery of ten surprising celebrity smokers. Doubtless, our post brought those stars unbearable shame, and all are probably in seclusion working with therapists to rid themselves of their dirty little secret as we type. (It's the least we could do, stars.) On the flip side, there are lots of Hollywood celebs who've kicked the habit at some point during their lives (just like you should if you're a smoker). Yes, these TV and movie stars can afford expensive hypnotherapy sessions and private yoga lessons, but we know you can quit the cancer sticks even without all their advantages. After you check out our gallery of ten formerly smoking stars, give us your best advice for quitting — and lowering your risk of lung cancer, stroke, and heart disease — in the comments section.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
This version contains the entire original AT FILLMORE EAST album from July 1971 (still available in a one-disc edition). Specifically, I mean these are the EXACT same performances (and mix, I believe) featured on the original. Of course, this new set adds the extra Fillmore material that was later released on EAT A PEACH, DUANE ALLMAN AN ANTHOLOGY 1 & 2, and the DREAMS box set. Again, these are all the exact same versions of these songs.
At first glance, the new "Deluxe Edition" looks similar to 1992's THE FILLMORE CONCERTS, with the notable addition of "Midnight Rider," taken from ANTHOLOGY 2. However, THE FILLMORE CONCERTS contains several alternate versions of songs, and is completely remixed (controversial among fans, but provides an interesting comparison). These alternate versions are not available elsewhere, though this may be an issue only for fanatics like myself. THE FILLMORE CONCERTS also had the benefit of original producer Tom Dowd, who recently died.
I have a few problems with the new "Deluxe Edition." First, the edits are shoddy. In some places, attempts are made to mix the songs together without the fade-outs between songs. In other places, the fade-outs are intact. I can't figure out this inconsistency. It seems like laziness to me, as if they just crammed together the existing mixes of the songs. Additionally, Dave Thompson's essay doesn't offer any new information, and seems rather short and lightweight.
Read more ›The songs on this CD, only seven, were originally in an album released as a double LP. Two of the tracks were long enough to each take up an entire LP side. Gregg Allman on keyboards, Dickie Betts on guitar, Berry Oakley on bass, Butch Trucks and Jaimoe Jai Johanny on percussion, do they ever jam and solo. And a man named Duane Allman, on guitar. I sometimes wonder if you sat down 1,000 people who had never heard this CD, played it for them, and asked them afterward whether they think Duane was a mere mortal, would any vote yes? Actually, my case is more rudimentary. I need only listen to "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed." I hold my breath when Gregg's shimmering organ following "Hot 'Lanta" introduces this incredible performance by Duane and the rest. When I mention my favorite Allman Brothers "song," I speak in terms of studio, saying "Jessica"--it is a wonderful instrumental, with good soloing, but within a basic structure. But this live version of "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed" is a step beyond, into free-flowing improvisation that confounds one's sense of the limitations of what can be achieved in music. Can anything be described as less limited in comparison to this display of sheer instrumental genius?
This brilliant live album has had its praises sung for it over and over, but great albums can still be uneven, at least to a certain extent.

Clonezilla Live - A small bootable GNU/Linux distribution for imaging and cloning |
[About] [How to install] [How to use] [Step by step] [Accounts] [Advanced modes]
1. About Clonezilla Live
Clonezilla Live is a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution for x86/amd64 (x86-64) based computers. Clonezilla SE (Server Edition) has been developed from 2004, and it is used to clone many computers simultaneously. It is an extremely useful tool, however, it does have several limitations. In order to use it, you must first prepare a DRBL server AND the machine to be cloned must boot from a network (e.g. PXE/Etherboot/gPXE). To address these limitations, we have combined Debian Live with Clonezilla as "Clonezilla Live," a software that can be used to easily clone individual machines. The primary benefit of Clonezilla Live is that it eliminates the need to set up a DRBL server ahead of time and the need for the computer being cloned to boot from a network. Clonezilla Live can be used to clone individual computers using a CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Though the image size is limited by the boot media's storage capacity, this problem can be eliminated by using a network filesystem such as sshfs or samba.
2. How to install Clonezilla Live ?
To install Clonezilla live, the basic steps are to download pre-build Clonezilla Live then put it in a boot media (CD, USB flash drive or USB hard drive). Two types of files are available, iso and zip. The former one is for CD, the latter is for USB flash drive. Besides, you can put Clonezilla live on hard drive or PXE server, too.

3. How to use Clonezilla live ?
Once you have the bootable Clonezilla Live media, as created in the previous step, you can boot it in the machine you want to clone. Remember to use the Clonezilla live media, such as CD, USB flash drive, USB hard drive, hard drive or PXE to boot the machine. For example, if you have Clonezilla Live in USB flash drive, you have to boot it via USB device (Ex. USB-HDD or USB-ZIP). If necessary, you can set the first boot priority in the BIOS as USB-HDD or USB-ZIP so that it can boot Clonezilla Live from your USB flash drive.
- You can refer to these step-by-step examples, which provide more details, e.g. how to save an image, to restore an image, to clone a disk, to restore an image to multiple disks, to create recovery CD, and more... //New for Clonezilla live 2.1.2-43!//
- For general introduction about using the Clonezilla live, please check this doc.
4. Accounts
In Clonezilla live, two accounts are available: (1) account "user" with sudo privilege, password is "live", (2) administration account "root", no password. Therefore you can not login as root, the only way to get root privilege is to login as user, and run "sudo su -" to become root.
For better security, it is recommended to change the passwords of user and root by command "passwd" before you allow remote access. When Clonezilla live boots, the ssh service is NOT automatically started, and the setting in /etc/hosts.deny does NOT block any connection. If you want to remotely ssh login into your Clonezilla live, you have to start ssh service by "/etc/init.d/ssh start".

The NON-Event: Attendees and Analytics
February 13, 2012 By Kristin Andreotes
The Ad Club's first-event NON-Event brought over 140 people to Microsoft's New England Research and Development center. The breathtaking venue, incredible presenters, and award-winning creative work truly made the night a huge success, but the analytics and attendee data also show the success in bringing buzz for a new event, and within a newer audience.
Typically, we see the majority of attendees coming from agencies and media companies, but the audience was unique for this event. 43% of professionals in attendance came from agencies, while 36% represented various non-profits, including arts & entertainment focused organizations (14%), youth organizations (11%), and healthcare organizations (8%). Media companies represented 13% of attendees and professional services companies (i.e., printers, law firms, staffing, etc.) represented 8%.
Geographically, over half of the audience came from companies in Boston, with 37% coming from Boston Proper and 16% coming from Greater Boston (including Allston/Brighton, Somerville, and Cambridge). 19% of companies were from West of Boston (i.e., Newton, Waltham, etc.), 12% were from South of Boston (i.e., Dedham, Dorchester, etc.), 10% from the North (Andover and Lawrence), and 6% from outside Massachusetts (including RI, NJ, FL, OH, and VA).
Throughout the day, Twitter was abuzz with tweets and retweets about the event. The key participants were @TheAdClub, @rifoodbank, @nailprovidence, @allengerritsen and @guttmacher. Keywords heard throughout the conversation were "congrats," "best," and "partner."
From a digital perspective, we also looked at the website analytics. From November 1st to January 31st we received 3,419 visits and 1,929 unique visitors to the NON-Event microsite. Site traffic typically came in directly, by marketing efforts, including email blasts, accounted for 38% of traffic to the site, and social media brought in 13%. Visits were also highly influenced by email blasts and newsletter postings, as seen through the spikes in traffic on particular dates.
The goal of this event was to truly highlight the incredible non-profit creative work and partnerships. Based on the high number of non-profits at the event (36% versus a typical 5% of attendees at other Ad Club events), and the large spikes in views throughout our marketing efforts (including email blasts, Boston Globe advertisements, email blasts through non-profit organizations, and newsletter inclusion), the event caused buzz amongst this new audience.
Yes, a giant boot…with four-wheel drive.
Enter the Bootmobile and some of the marketing initiatives that have driven (ah, we love puns) L.L. Bean from an idea in 1912 to a worldwide corporation netting approximately $1.5 billion in sales.
Like several great CMOs, Steve kicked off his presentation with a story, one that featured hardship and perseverance. Leon Leonwood Bean was an orphan, who never made it past high school but possessed a genuine passion for the outdoors. It was his passion and unrelenting drive for quality customer service that enabled him to build L.L. Bean.
As they look back and celebrate 100 years of business, Steve and his team wished to highlight the company's roots, ones that he claims are the fiber behind all new and established marketing initiatives. In order to share that story, he broke it down into three different lenses: uniqueness, relevancy, and community.
Steve consistently recognizes L.L. Bean as a service company and one of his biggest worries is the company becoming a commodity rather than an experience. L.L. Bean features real employees in catalogues and commercials and historically has depended on phone and in-store service to turn customers into L.L. Bean lifers.
While the apparel company is revamping their website and establishing more of a mobile presence, there are a few unique projects that will help them stand out and highlight 100 years of excellence. Look for a brand new L.L. Bean Tarp to cover Fenway Park during rain delays, and when it's sunny and the Red Sox are out of town, head to Fenway for an outdoor discovery class. Finally, once you've picked up a new skill, indulge in some Muddy Bean Boots ice cream (vanilla, caramel, and bits of brownie) to top off the day, a treat they hope arrives by summertime.
L.L. Bean prides itself on customer relationships, something that is a little more complicated to accomplish over the web than in person. But as the Bean employees go to work building new communication channels like blogs, online rating and review platforms, social games, and more to keep the Bean ecosystem connected, they look to stay relevant in communities across the world.
In addition to addressing emerging technology growth such as mobile commerce, the company has donated $1 million dollars to the National Parks Foundation for youth programs, yet again, echoing the passion of L.L himself for nature and immersing oneself in it.
Have you ever considered learning how to fly fish or trap shoot? L.L. Bean will teach you how through one of its many Outdoor Discovery Schools. This is just one of many ways L.L. Bean extends beyond a simple commodity and acts as a common thread among life enthusiasts.
Steve Fuller and his giant Bootmobile packed the Microsoft NERD center and enlightened the crowd on 100 years of rich L.L. Bean history while giving us a glimpse of the things to come. When the talk concluded and it was time to leave, there was but one thing to do.
Discover Something.
A special thanks to Steve Fuller and Microsoft for allowing us to host a memorable CMO breakfast.

Trustee Dinner Wrap-Up November 22, 2011 Kristin Andreotes
Twice a year, The Ad Club welcomes all Trustee members to an event to wine and dine them, and of course, to thank them for all their support. November 7th was no different as we welcomed our Trustee members, Board of Directors, and the incredible team from WGBH who sponsored and hosted the event. Sipping wine in the Yawkey Atrium, the conversation was lively and you could hear throughout the room new introductions as well as colleagues reminiscing.
Kathy Kiely approached the podium about an hour in to welcome the crowd, which included CEOs of top advertising agencies, Presidents of media companies, and VPs of top New England brands. Kathy then brought WGBH's Jamie Parker and Suzanne Zellner who reviewed the goings-on at WGBH, from a mobile presence to digital channels, as well as the famous people who have graced the very room we were standing in, including Adam Sandler and Vanilla Ice for their upcoming movie "I Hate You, Dad."
Jamie and Suzanne then invited Arts Reporter for Greater Boston, Jared Bowen, to the podium only after reading off his impressive bio – including two New England Emmy Awards for his arts reporting and several Associated Press Awards. Jared started off by reminiscing about his dinner with Emily Rooney and her father Andy Rooney, who's passing occurred only a few days earlier, and was why Emily unfortunately could not attend that night. Jared continued his presentation discussing the amazing art that exists in Boston, including MFA's new Contemporary Art wing and the Peabody Essex Museum's new $650 million advancement campaign.
As the presentations concluded, the amazing setting and intimate crowd allowed for conversations amongst everyone. In one corner, you see the CEO of Pod Digital Design speaking with the CEO of Continuum. In another, you see the CMO of Dunkin' Donuts chatting with the CEO of PJA Advertising. It was this atmosphere that provided for a lively night of great introductions, great conversations, and ultimately a great way to say thanks.
Words of the Day: 51st Hatch Awards October 12, 2011 By: Kristin Andreotes
Last Thursday, over 800 attendees joined The Ad Club at Seaport World Trade Center in Area 51, in honor of the 51st Hatch Awards. Those in the room, and even those following along via social media, joined the conversation as the awards were announced and as the celebration began.
The below word cloud is created by all tweets using the #AdClubHatch hashtag that night. "Tonight" and "Awards" were the terms most commonly used, understandably, and there were also some "Congrats" and "Great" directed toward the work and winners as the awards were presented. The key folks contributing and being mentioned in the conversation were @theadclub, @toteabowl, @ctpboston, and @mullenunbound.
Congratulations to all the winners of this year's Hatch Awards. It was a great night of honoring the best creative and we look forward to 2012!

Who Took Home The Win At The Maven Awards September 26th, 2011 By: Kristin Andreotes
The Maven Awards winners were revealed at the culmination of The Ad Club's 2nd Annual Media Innovation Day on September 22nd, 2011. David Wade, News Anchor from WBZ-TV emceed and welcomed up special guests and sponsors to present the finalists and winners on stage alongside President of The Ad Club, Kathy Kiely. While the finalists were announced via email two weeks before the event, the winners as chosen by our prestigious panel of judges were kept under lock and key. These judges included Cameron Burnham of Twitter, Sarah Fay previously of Aegis Media, Bill Ghormley of Xconomy, Paul Hochman of NBC's Today Show, and Rob Willington of Swiftcurrent.
On Twitter, pre-event and day-of, many companies were rallying for support of their award candidacy. As the awards show commenced, company teams sat together in close proximity to cheer for their finalist announcement and, if lucky, the win. The categories, finalists, winners, and why the winner was chosen are below.
Best Use of Traditional Media Presented by Mammoth Media
Winner: MPG for their work with Fidelity
Fidelity Investments opened multiple branch locations across 15+ markets within the U.S. As is the case with the creation of any new "retail" location, the biggest challenge is to establish awareness locally, and ultimately drive quality foot traffic to each of these locations. The dual objective of driving awareness and traffic for new Fidelity branches (Grand Openings) within multiple markets required them to develop a strategy that would create both impact and demand [to visit a branch]. They also knew that the presence of multiple Grand Opening locations would challenge them to be smart about how to best utilize their media budgets without creating any ad waste. Given these needs, they partnered with Where Inc. to develop a hyper local, mobile media campaign that allowed them to deliver on all of these requirements.
Best Use of Out of HomePresented by Simon Brand Ventures
Winner: Mediahub from Mullen for their work with JetBlue
The JetBlue Getaways program is just over a year old and still has very little awareness. Many people know what JetBlue is but do not realize that the brand offers a vacation planning service, competing with brands like Orbitz and Expedia. Our strategy was clear-cut: make an impact on the daily commuter with something they could experience and interact with. Our solution was to take advantage of a time they aren't hustling around the city and we have a moment to capture their attention: bus stops. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that Boston's public transportation can be, euphemistically, a bit inconsistent in punctuality. So we invented JetBlue lounge chairs to place in bus shelters around the city. The bus may not be on time, but if you're going to wait, do it in style in a lounge chair, getting some brief and necessary time off your feet.
Best Use of Digital Media Finalists:
Winner: MPG, Media Contacts, and Mobext for their work with McDonald's
Changing customer perception is difficult for McDonald's which is primarily known for their french fries and Big Mac and not as a beverage café destination. With limited store locations and a high level of competitive noise, it's difficult for our target to see McDonald's as a beverage destination. Various McCafé beverages were showcased and combined with "toasting" to what New York is known for, thus creating the "Toast Your Town" campaign. Residents of nine NY metro areas were encouraged to celebrate their hometowns and engage in a friendly competition to win McCafé "parties" (beverage giveaways at their local McDonald's).
Best Use of Mobile Media Presented by Navteq
Winner: Hill Holliday for their work with Dunkin' Donuts
In the Spring/Summer of 2011, they needed to bring the Dunkin' Donuts "What Are You Drinkin'?" campaign to life in the mobile space using the same strategy as in other media channels – intercepting consumers during their daily routines. With the insight that consumers have their mobile devices in one hand and a Dunkin' Donuts product in the other, they created a fully integrated mobile campaign designed to provoke consumer engagement at various times throughout the day. Dunkin' Donuts aligned with the top mobile applications and categories that provided the best opportunity to reach the brand's target audience…while they were on-the-go.
Best Use of Branded Content Finalists:
Winner: Starcom for their work with Merrill Edge
Merrill Edge is a new service, launched in 2010/2011 by Bank of America for its customers, designed to combine the use of a self directed investment platform alongside the full suite of Merrill Lynch investment products. Starcom recruited former CNBC personalities Jeff Macke and Matt Nesto to host the show and to scrutinize the market each day with fresh, custom content updated at multiple points across our 24/7 news cycle. Unlike some financial shows our content is constantly updated with significant changes 4-6 times each day. Instead of 5 contacts per week like the usual financial shows, our content could achieve up to 36!
The result is a fully customized web show on Yahoo! Finance called 'Breakout' featuring original, timely and reactive programming for a vast audience who meet our 'active traders and investors' sweet spot. In the first two months of the campaign there were 12 million video streams, placing Breakout onto the top 25 most viewed original web series.
Best Use of Social Media Finalists:
The campaign as described before kicked off with a Twitter "Live Toast" event, in which people were invited to use a McCafé beverage to toast what makes their hometowns the best place to live. Digital Media was leveraged within the social media space, driving users to a McDonald's branded micro-site showcasing live video reads of tweeted toasts. Mobile encouraged users to check into their local McDonald's, download wallpaper, locate the nearest McDonalds and vote for their favorite McCafe beverage. User actions could be shared via Facebook and/or Twitter, spreading the message and contest.
Best Use of New & Non-Traditional Media Finalists:
Mullen had two core challenges to solve: Build the nascent JetBlue brand in the highly competitive Los Angeles market, and build awareness for "first bag flies free" as research shows that JetBlue was not getting credit for this meaningful "differentiation & product." They created an event in which they secured A-list celebrities (Donald Trump, Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Snow, etc.) to donate a piece of luggage that could be put up for auction with all donations going to a Los Angeles charity. To promote the event, Mullen ran full-page print ads in the Los Angeles Times, Variety and People magazine. They also ran rich media cross entertainment sites/blogs, both online and mobile, that showcased the auction items and time left to bid. The most powerful element (and perfect illustration of a nontraditional way to use traditional media) was a customized interactive outdoor video unit that displayed the celebrity baggage at Santa Monica place, as well as QR codes that people could capture from their smartphones and be taken instantly to the auction site. Consumers could walk up to the video screen, select the celebrity of their choice, play around with pictures of the baggage and be able to bid in real time on their desired piece of luggage.
Best Plan for Spending $1 Million or Less Presented by MNI
Winner: Hill Holliday for their work with (RED)
In the fall of 2010 (RED) tapped Hill Holliday to help generate awareness around World AIDS Day and to build a media plan to promote their 2015 AIDS Free Generation initiative. To support their ambitious goals, (RED) needed a partner for media strategy, design and partnerships… to work with a budget of zero marketing dollars. (RED) is not about geography, it's about participation. The client had a goal to educate the world about a critical milestone in the fight against AIDS – the virtual elimination of the transmission of HIV from mother-to-child. In 2009, 370,000 babies were born with HIV, but with increased awareness and funding, the world could see that number get close to zero. To raise awareness about this goal (RED) looked to turn the world (RED) on World AIDS Day - literally. (RED) lit more than 90 iconic landmarks the color red and online, actions taken in support of an AIDS Free Generation across all major social networks were visualized on a map hosted on joinred.com. The more actions in a region, the deeper the color red the map became. Through inventory secured by Hill Holliday in television, print, digital and both domestic and international OOH, we were able to unite, inform and motivate the world to participate in World AIDS Day and the 2015 AIDS Free Generation, and effectively turn the world (RED).
Best Use of Research Finalists:
Winner: Mediahub from Mullen for their work with Barnes & Noble Nook
The marketing challenge was simple yet daunting: Take on the 800-pound gorilla undefined Kindle undefined that has first-to-market advantage, a media budget that is roughly two and half times bigger than ours and who has 80% of the e-reader market.
Mullen believes that great media plans start with unexpected insight and that today's off-the-shelf research (MRI, SMRB, Nielsen, and MMR) is woefully inadequate in keeping up with what they call the "galloping consumer." As a result, they have created a proprietary study dubbed Scout which is a battery of 45 questions among 3,500 consumers twice a year. The study probes mission-critical media behavior: like how fast are consumers moving from surfing the web on desktops to surfing on smartphones; how quickly are they moving from reading print on paper to tablets; and, what sources are most critical through the purchase funnel. Mullen discovered four main innovations through Scout, which they used to direct their campaign: moms with kids are a huge opportunity, cable shows are their favorites, product review sites are critical in the decision process, and social is their lifeline.
Best Youth Campaign Finalists:
Winner: Hill Holliday for their work with The Boston Police Department
In the summer of 2010 the Boston Police Commissioner asked Hill Holliday to help him reduce violent crime and encourage residents to use the department's anonymous text-a-tip line to report crime. The bigger goal? Get people in at-risk communities to trust the police. The biggest discovery came when the planner drove through a neighborhood in a police cruiser and passed by children whose parents pushed their hands back down when they tried to wave at the cruiser. Clearly there was an atmosphere of deep mistrust. They needed to get them talking. And they had to do something that would get community members to interact with Police officers and figure out how to work together to reduce violent crime. On July 23, 2010, Operation Hoodsie Cup rolled out. Hill Holliday created a vehicle that was half ice cream truck, half police cruiser. Uniformed officers in the truck handed out free Hoodsie Cup ice creams accompanied with custom-printed napkins reminding them to text-a-tip to CRIME. On hot summer days, without any warning, our ice cream cruiser rolled into at-risk neighborhoods, heavily armed with fun graphics and free ice cream. Community members were invited to follow along at a web site we created, Operationhoodsiecup.org.
Best B2B Campaign Presented by The Wall Street Journal
Winner: Allen & Gerritsen for their work with MFS Investment Management
The biggest challenge facing MFS in 2011 came, ironically, in the form of a great honor when MFS was awarded a total of seven Lipper Fund Awards, including the highly coveted Overall Large Company Award. The challenge these awards presented was to develop, negotiate and plan a campaign that would allow MFS to broadcast their wins in a big way, letting Financial Advisors nationwide know about the awards, with only two weeks' lead time. a&g developed a strategy for the Lipper Fund Award announcement campaign that revolved around using awareness-driving media, both off- and online, to announce the Lipper Fund Award wins and in doing so improve the perception of MFS funds among their target audience. Considering the high honor that the Best Overall Large Company award is, a&g wanted to make sure that any media that was considered was big and impactful. As a result only large, attention-grabbing units in Print, Out of Home, and Digital were included in the plan.
The Media Responsibility Award Finalists:
Winner: Hill Holliday for their work with Liberty Mutual
Liberty Mutual may be the "responsible insurance company," but for some communities, it's perceived as an East-coast insurance giant that doesn't understand local market needs. How could we prove that Liberty Mutual has local roots and helpful, compassionate Agents in hometowns across America? Increased investments in broadcast within these markets proved ineffective in changing local perception, so a more grass-roots media approach was necessary.
The Risky Business Award Finalists:
Winner: Mediahub from Mullen for their work with Zappos
It's no secret that standard banners are becoming less effective as 1 in every 1,000 people click on a banner. As a result, in the digital environment where the consumer is mission-oriented, Mullen's biggest challenge was getting consumers to notice and engage with their communication. And let's face it, to come up with a new rich media idea that their target has never seen before is close to impossible. This was their hurdle along with driving awareness that Zappos sells more than shoes. Mullen was also competing against retailers with much larger budgets enabling them to leverage TV and their own retail channels. To achieve their objectives, they knew they had to do something "risky" that would break through "banner blindness" in a startling and even controversial way. To drive impact and conversation, Mullen purchased a 50% SOV takeover on the Yahoo! homepage on July 27th featuring Arthur, their naked model with a strategically placed text box reading "more than shoes." Since their Naked print ads running in magazines like Lucky, InStyle and Harper's Bazaar had already generated significant press chatter during the two weeks prior, they felt that a single day takeover would build on the already established buzz.
Media All-Star Award Finalists:
Winner: Adam Cahill and Cindy Stockwell, Hill Holliday
Cindy and Adam co-lead a truly modern, integrated media offering at Hill Holliday. They've structured every facet of the media practice, from people to tools to processes, to remove the silos that get in the way of integrated thinking, execution, and optimization. Together they ensure that digitally native thinking is embedded in Hill Holliday's core ideas, not an afterthought. Cindy and Adam have shown a passion for keeping Hill Holliday on the front edge of the changing media landscape.
Cindy has 20 years of integrated media planning experience at full-service agencies, working on major brands including Dunkin' Donuts, TJX, DeBeers' Diamonds, P&G. Cindy has led teams that have won Media Plan of the Year for the past 3 years (Dunkin', Marshalls and Dunkin') and Creative Media Awards for the past 2 years (Dunkin OOH and Dunkin' Media Plan). She has also have chaired the Ad Club Media Auction for the past 3 years resulting in annual revenue growth each year.
Adam has spent his entire 15-year career leading digital marketing teams. He is a frequent contributor to the marketing industry's leading publications, including Advertising Age, AdExchanger, and ClickZ. He speaks frequently at industry events like OMMA and Ad:Tech, and is actively involved in the startup community, serving as an advisor to Angel Street Capital, which provides seed funding to technology companies in the media space.
The Rising Star Award Finalists:
Winner: Katie Thompson, Mullen
Mullen describes a rising star as someone who before the age of 30 demonstrates the following characteristics:
That perfectly describes Katie Thompson, Mullen's newest vice president, and one of the youngest VPs in Mullen's history. She is all of 28 and currently runs the $25MM+ JetBlue digital account. Katie is a woman with power, influence and at the same time humility and empathy. She is tireless (24/7 mindset) and is never satisfied. She has an insatiable curiosity for what's next and has a direct pipeline to digital powerhouses like Twitter's Chief Revenue Officer Adam Bain and Google's Rob Torres, who heads up travel.
Words of the Day: Media Innovation Day Kristin Andreotes September 23, 2011
The Ad Club's 2nd Annual Media Innovation Day represents the innovations, technology, plans, and professionals driving the future of media. Throughout the day, the over 550 attendees were busy tweeting and retweeting some of the most thought provoking and interesting content from each of the segments. The highly anticipated 3rd Annual Maven Awards winners were also announced after the content, and many of the companies nominated and in attendance were flooding Twitter with the excitement when they took home the win.
The word cloud below represents what was being said throughout the day of the event (September 22nd, 2011) in the 352 Twitter posts using the #AdClubMID hashtag. Not surprisingly, the most commonly used word was Media, however, terms like TV, Innovation, Digital, Mobile, Great, and Maven were also seen in many posts. Joining and being mentioned in the conversation most often, along with @TheAdClub, were speakers Mike Proulx @mcproulx and @Droga5, introducer @SchneiderMike, and Maven Award finalist and winner @MPG.
Thanks so all that joined us for this year's Media Innovation Day and Maven Awards and for participating in the social media conversation throughout the day!

Walter Thompson, Mullen, Ogilvy and Mather, Sanders Wingo, McCann Erikson, and Wieden + Kennedy among others. Judging is one of the hardest things I'll ever do. It's right up there with child rearing, solving a Rubik's Cube without pulling the stickers, and listening to Gilbert Gottfried for 3 minutes uninterrupted without cutting myself. Hard, I tell you. Really, really hard.
So when I was recently invited to judge the 2011 Francis W. Hatch Awards in Boston, I accepted but knew it would bring with it some challenges. Nine creative people in a room trying to achieve some level of consensus? Hilarious.
I served on a jury (not an award show jury, a REAL one) for the first time in my life earlier in the year, and that was a lesson in human behavior and courtroom theatrics. Everything you see on Judge Judy is true, all true, and then some. Still, that process pales in the face of determining creative award-worthiness and the pressures of deliberation.
And for me, not having judged a show in several years, I could only wonder how things may have changed. Since print is dead or so they tell me, and the 30-second TV spot is headed the same way (again, rumor mill talking), do we completely reconfigure our standards and put a new system in place when separating bronze from silver from gold in the social digital age? Or do we take a step back and realize that there are certain things likeundefinedpardon the planner-speakundefinedprimal emotional drivers that will never change, no matter how savvy and hash tagged we get? I prefer the latter.
The sun will always rise in the east. Most mystery meats will always taste just like chicken. Emotions will always drive behavior. Professing the death of traditional ads in the wake of digital diversions is kind of like saying a sudden spike in the population of oxygen bars is going to revolutionize the way we breathe. Or a sparkly new fleet of Rascal scooters parked inside the sliding doors of our favorite big box retailer is going to completely change the way we shop. For a few of us? Absolutely. My early-adopting brethren will go skittering down those wide aisles, popping wheelies while filling their baskets full of mega-roll toilet paper any day. But for the great majority, it's a novelty; a supplement; a welcome distraction. Then life as we know it resumes.
What became overly apparent in the throes of judging is that great ideas will always rise to the top, despite how we define them, where we place them, and beyond their ability to live in a virtual social space. Social media is revolutionary in some respects but in others it's primal and its prominence, as the next shiny object comes along, will wane. It happens with everything. Disagree? You're entitled. When you get a minute, Google "Friendster" or "MySpace."
True, the internet has put many an encyclopedia salesman out of business, but the precious content of those extinct volumes lives on in perpetuity. It's still very much the wild west out there and these media, like all media, need to be understood and used appropriately. And not by everyone. Toilet paper companies, I'm talking to you. Not gonna "Like" your 3-ply fan page. Don't care how many coupons you promise in your sweepstakes. Not gonna do it.
Has embracing social worked wonders for certain brands, like Old Spice? Wieden's happy and I bought a stick. I hear sales are still flat but Isaiah Mustafah's glistening, rippling pecs have captivated more Tubers and Tweeters than any other campaign known to man. But no matter how you slice it, where you watch it, or if it's got Fabio smeared all over it, you're still consuming content, brilliantly written, wonderfully executed content. What we consume hasn't changed very much at all. When, where, how, and why have. But even that, in the grand scheme of things, is a grain of sand on an isolated beach. Maybe a beach where the Old Spice guy hangs out when he's not shooting 71-second spots that will air on Youtube. You never know.
In the end, I met some really unique and talented people on the panel and at the Ad Club. The process was smooth and things ran like a top. Though there was mild dissension in the ranks when it came time to agree on best of show, we worked it out. If we all saw eye-to-eye, that would defeat the purpose of a panel.The iPod's role in changing the way we listen to songs? Undeniable. The digital camera's role in the way we capture images? Humbling. The DVR's role in the way we watch commercials? Not as catastrophic as presumed but still apparent. Other than how it's packaged, coded, or otherwise compressed and streamed, the impact on our lives is negligible. Music is still music. Photos are still photos. Stories are still stories. Brilliant ideas are still brilliant ideas, and our industry could always use more of them.
Having said all of this, thank you for welcoming me back to the New England ad community, if only for a short few days. It was great to be among you. I continue to judge as I've always judged and encourage you to do the same, tallying with your heart, not your device.

It's usually hard to predict which young players will eventually become the cream of the crop, but it wouldn't be going out on a limb to say that teenagers Sloane Stephens and Laura Robson will someday be seriously contending for Grand Slam titles.
In an extremely hard-fought and close contest between two young women who have known each other since they've been 12, Stephens held off a spirited challenge by the powerful Robson in a 7-5 6-3 third round victory on Saturday.
"It was super intense," the 19-year-old Stephens said. "I think there wasn't a point where there wasn't something like, 'Oh, my goodness, this is intense'. That's what it's about, getting out there and getting after it. We played a good match. It was intense, but it was good."
The two had played a similarly close contest last week in Hobart, and this one was no different, as they went back and forth from inside the baseline in an attempt to wrest control. The free-swinging Robson was just coming off a marathon upset of Petra Kvitova in the prior round, and went for the same types of huge blasts against Stephens that had worked against the Czech eighth seed. However, Stephens is one of the quickest young movers on tour and it's very hard to win short points against her.
The 29th seeded Stephens raced out to a 4-0 lead, but after receiving treatment on her sore shoulder, the left-handed Robson raced back to 4-4 by whipping huge groundstrokes and hustling balls down.
But even though the loud and enthusiastic crowd on Show Court 2 was firmly in the 18-year-old Robson's corner, Stephens didn't crack.
"I felt like I was playing an Italian player in Italy," Stephens said. "It was crazy."
She held to 5-4 with an ace, but then Robson broke right back to 5-5 in a marathon 16-point game, fighting off two sets points with a big serve into the body, and then she watched Stephens err on a forehand.
But the American held easily and then broke Robson to win the set when the Briton missed two forehands.
Robson continued to try and tee off in the second set, but the faster Stephens was more resourceful and began to wear her down. She broke her to 3-1 when Robson missed two more forehands, and then ably sat on the lead.
Stephens fought off a break point in the final game with a whipping forehand, and then won the match when Robson's forehand broke down once again.
Stephens finished the contest with 22 winners, 13 off her more powerful side, to just 11 for Robson, who ended up committing a whopping 47 unforced errors.
"I'm sure I'll play Sloane a lot in the future," Robson said. "I'm sure after today she's going to be top 20. So good for her."
While Stephens by no means has hard a perfect tournament, she's reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the second time in the past year. The good news is she feels that she hasn't peaked yet.
"Honestly I haven't played my best tennis," she said.
"But sometimes it's just going to be like that. Sometimes it's going to be ugly and you just have to work your way through. It hasn't been the prettiest, but mentally it's been beautiful."

We, the People, have been screwed again. Remember President Obama was talking about how those on unemployment could qualify for emergency unemployment extensions for up to 99 months? Well those who are unemployed in Florida have realized that filling for an extension is 100% impossible right now. The DailySkew knows several Floridians who rely on unemployment benefits to survive this economic crisis, and they have reported that the unemployment office told them that the deadline was June 5 (or May 24, it seems). This was not advertised anywhere. Which make sit more frustrating since the unemployment office is notorious for sending snail mail saying "file this week"- like you really needed to be reminded.
That means if you did not file your extension by June 5, 2010 you are now DONE, according to the State of Florida. Your only option is to try and collect welfare and food stamps, although you will be rejected if you have no kids, and if you have a working spouse- after all, you're making "too much" money.
The U.S. Senate will vote to extend unemployment benefits when the replacement for Sen. Robert Byrd, is sworn in..uhm…sometime in the future. Also add the fact that Florida legislature must change language in a state law, which NOW prevents Floridians from receiving the extended benefits if they filed after June, 5! Keep in mind: if your unemployment benefits did not run out BEFORE June 5, you weren't ALLOWED to file for an extension anyway! You got scammed by politicians and laws- the faceless unbeatable bureaucracy. Welcome to America. MEANWHILE, Republicans have been trying to stop the extension since Day 1. As it stands now, 35,000 people lost their unemployment check AND their Obama Check for Stimulus Relief for the Unemployed. Those 35,000 people count as people who no longer get unemployment benefits, so the unemployment rate actually will go down since they are off the books!
[Florida AFL-CIO President] Mike Williams said, "According to the Agency for Workforce Innovation, almost 35,000 workers are losing their only real source of income each week while Congress continues to stall the re-authorization of the extended benefits program. The fact that these workers and our economy will continue to suffer when Congress does act because of a single line in Florida Statutes is appalling. This program costs the state next to nothing and does not raise unemployment insurance rates for businesses. It does however, allow workers who have lost their jobs during this time of economic crisis to provide for their families and continue participating in Florida's struggling economy."

I've built a PAL DVD in CS6, and when I do a build preview the menu button highlights show fine, however when I burn the DVD, the button highlights don't show at all. I've tried DVD players, computers and gaming consoles and none of them work.
The menu is an AE file running in loop with a video playing, and the buttons were generated using photoshop and the Library. The buttons are shapes in Photoshop. 2 buttons are Outlines for the videos playing (all in the AE comp) and the other 2 buttons are semi-trasparent boxes around a line of text each, so 4 buttons in total.
I've done a project using the same settings 2 months ago and it works fine. I've tried using a new project file and building again but still no luck. I've tried doing in CS5.1, changing highlight types, re-importing everything, and still nothing.
Any suggestions as to what I can do?
Also please see the following link for screenshots for the menu, menu-active, button-routing, menu-settings, menu-layers, and the menu-colour-set
I see nothing that should be a problem.
I would add a template menu, keep two buttons only, one to go back to a menu and the other to link to some timeline, (link it from some button on the main menu), change nothing in it otherwise, and see if those highlights show up.
Any reason for the =2 and =3, rather than something else? Any history of issues? On a mac?
Ok so did that and the sub-menu highlights worked. . Used the Crib Menu HD.
Still nothing on the main though
No reason for =2 or =3. I did have another colour which was =1 but got rid of those and just haven't changed these. But still had issue then as well.
I'm running a massive Windows 7 PC.
One interesting note though. I export the Crib Menu HD and my Menu and the Crib one comes up large and fine, but mine comes up with the name and then in square bracket [scaled]. I tried duplicating the layers between the files and mine is WAY smaller than the crib one is
Ok I tried changing the menu type to Blank HD. This is my process for creating the DVD
1) Create a Blank Menu HD
2) Add AE comp to project
3) Link Video and Audio in "motion" tab to AE comp file
4) Set loop Point
5) Set Aspect ratio to 16:9
6) Export Menu to Photoshop and add buttons
7) Set link for each button
8) Change Colour Set to my custom menu set
9) Untick Automatically Route Buttons and set route
And that's it
Still not working, and now when I do a build preview, the buttons aren't aligned the same as the preview when "show selected subpicture highlight" is on or the PSD file
In some DVD projects, odd pixel size menus resulted in highlights "disappearing." These were usually thin lines, and I came to believe that EN was calculating highlight positions based on some anchor point - and unexpected pixel sizes resulted in problems.
I wonder if a mismatch between the EN project setting for default transcode (what it uses for menus) or the like could create a problem.
I suspect a template menu that you bring into your project is 1920x1080 square.
I'm sorry; I forgot you were doing DVD when you referred to using an HD menu. Stick with the format and appropriate size for your project.
I know it has worked before, but it is not now, so we have to keep an open mind. Ha, ha!
I could not replicate the "disappearing highlights" problem for a user some time ago, until I hit the right combination of highlight size and location on the screen. But I don't think that ever affected all highlights in the menu.
