St. Lunatics' Nelly has hinted at plans to perpetuate his controversial adult-themed 2003 "Tip Drill" music video into a full-length, theatrical release in the near future.
While opting not to divulge specifcs, Nelly said he has been contemplating putting the project into motion.
"We talked about doing Tip Drill: The Movie," Nelly revealed in an interview with DJ Vlad. "Who knows. Tip Drill: The Movie. [laughs] We got something, we got something…It's just something along those lines of trying to come up with something that's a little bit creative and like I said again, everybody's not gonna love it. It goes hand in hand, man. You can't tell me I'm like 'this,' when you don't even know me." (Vlad TV)
Recently, Nelly defended his adult-targeted music video.
"I'm not bound by anything in terms of my freedom to create, who says everything you create has to be accepted by everyone? If I only did one thing, one way then I wouldn't be an artist. Everything in the history of art and music wasn't accepted at first. Not to say what I did wasn't risqué, but it was needed at the time. All I did was entertain adult fans. It even came on an adult show at 3 a.m. It wasn't like the girls in the video were offended by it. Never will I take any of that back. I didn't make 10 of them. I made one video and people wanted to condemn me for it. And people wanted that video to outweigh all the other good things I've done. All my not-for-profit work, helping find marrow donors, community programs and take all that away from me. I was just young and having fun." (VIBE)
The video landed Nelly in front of a firing squad in 2005 after a college cancelled his appearance due to the buzz surrounding "Tip Drill."
The music video for "Tip Drill" became a source of controversy due to perceptions of misogynistic depictions of women. The controversy forced Nelly to cancel an appearance at a bone marrow drive at Spelman College, a historically black college in Atlanta, Georgia. Similar claims of misogyny also surrounded Nelly's single "Pimp Juice". RIAA have certified the album Platinum. (Wikipedia)
Following the controversy, Nelly defended his racy visual.
"I respect women, and I'm not a misogynist. I'm an artist. Hip-hop videos are art and entertainment. Videos tell stories; some are violent, some are sexy, some are fun, some are serious. As for how women are shown in the videos, I don't have a problem with it because it is entertainment…No one knows what a particular woman's situation is, what her goals are. Being in that video may help her further those goals. Several women who have been in my videos have gone on to do TV appearances and movies. No one can dictate other people's choices and situations." (CNN)

"I got this as my RSVP card for my wedding! I made several changes to mine and when they sent me the proof, it was perfect! I highly recommend!"
"I have so many excellent things to say about my invitations and this company. I got my invitations within 2 days of order, which was a week before their expected arrival! The quality is really nice and the design is beautiful. It looks exactly like the picture! I have received numerous compliments on my invitations. I was very pleased with my experience and it is worth every penny!"
"These response cards are beautiful. I had to make some modifications to the text, but the team here at Wedding Paper Divas listened to what I wanted and within a few hours my preview was sent with everything I wanted it to say."
"This response card was beautiful, we had many compliments written on the backs. These invites were a great first impression and indication of our wedding theme."
"I asked the designer to make some changes to the back, specifically, to cover it in the floral print and include a box with my address on it, so that guests could send them back as post cards (which saved us like $20 on postage) and they were very happy to do just that. However some of our guests found the M before the blank line to be confusing."

Editor's Note -- In this and two other recent incidents, officers were confronted with dangerous teenagers, two 15-year-olds and two 16-year-olds. These incidents serve as reminders that teenagers can —and in instances this these, do—pose a serious threat to police and innocent civilians. Young does not mean "harmless." Keep your tactical awareness high, regardless of who you're dealing with, and never let your guard down.
The 16-year-old called police dispatch around 11:30 a.m. saying he had a handgun.
Littleton police responded to the 2900 block of West Long Circle.
They began setting up around the home when at least two shots came from a window in the house, police said. One bullet struck within feet of an officer, according to a news release from police.
The teen later surrendered to police and was jailed at the Arapahoe County Foote Center.
The youth's name was withheld by police.

The final rule also makes several important changes from those in the proposed rule regarding the listing and delisting of PSOs and the ways in which PSOs must comply with statutory requirements, including:
AHRQ administers provisions dealing with PSO operations, and the HHS Office for Civil Rights enforces confidentiality provisions. The final rule addresses concerns regarding how providers may efficiently collect and analyze patient safety event information with privilege and confidentiality protections while complying with existing reporting requirements that seek similar information.

There is a lot of information about exercise available. It can be found on TV, in magazines or newspapers, on the Internet and even on the radio. With so much information out there, it can sometimes be hard to tell the fact from the fiction.
Here are 10 common exercise myths and why they are not true:
LaRue County Health Department
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 7,500 lives have been saved by the proper use of child restraints during the past 20 years. Yet, motor vehicle crashes still remain the number one killer of children ages 4 to 14 in America. The reason? Too often it is the improper use or non-use of child safety seats and booster seats.
A few hundred feet down Hall-Gaddie Road, about a mile south of Lincoln Farm, is an attention-getting sign nailed onto a utility pole.
"Welcome to Gaddieville. Bobbie Gaddie, Mayor," the sign states.
Although the "town" isn't officially incorporated, the residents certainly have a legitimate claim to it, for the Gaddie family has owned that land through four generations, more than 100 years.
The small puppy, cupped in the hands of Taylor County Animal Shelter Director John Harris, looks around at his new home. In the background, a chorus of barks erupts and the puppy's ears perk up.
He may have a new home, but he's not alone. This animal shelter is full.
And, according to Harris, the shelter is applying for grant funding to expand for a third time.
Baseball cards, stamps, coins and even rocks have helped create extensive collections for many people. However, there are few collections that can be truly meaningful for an entire community like the recent find by Carl Howell, Hodgenville attorney and Lincoln historian.
Howell's grandfather built the Nancy Lincoln Inn near the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park and helped him develop his love for history, specifically for Abraham Lincoln. Now, he excitedly shares the news of his latest discovery with hopes that it will inspire interest and further research.
A Hodgenville funeral home is under new management after the retirement of a long-time employee.
Billy Howell, director of Billy Howell Funeral Chapel on Lincoln Boulevard, retired in October after an extended illness. He now is living with relatives.
Rondal Wright, who has owned the funeral home nine years, began looking for a new manager. He turned to Ron Rust, a Lyons Station native who owned funeral homes in New Haven and Boston and is a close friend of Howell.
Most of us contemplate what God is thinking when he allows bizarre or terrible things to happen in our lives. Why does such a loving God allow homes, relationships and even families to be broken?
Rusty Wilson, youth minister at Union Christian Church, addresses those questions in his upcoming album titled, "I'll make It Heaven." This Christian centered, 11-track album talks about relationships – friendships, romantic relationships, families and ultimately our relationship with Christ.
Skipping breakfast can spell disaster. A study that randomly assigned overweight people to a weight program found that those who consumed breakfast lost significantly more weight over a 12-week program. This could be because those who skip breakfast tend to select more calorie-dense foods later in the day, than those who regularly eat breakfast. A healthy breakfast is the one meal that people should be encouraged to eat even if they are not hungry.

Every year, Philip Morris International, through its International Tobacco Procurement Scholarship program, provides financial assistance to hundreds of U.S. students from tobacco-growing families. In 2009, 30 new students were awarded scholarships. Since the program's inception in 2001, more than 350 students have been awarded nearly $1.5 million in educational scholarships.
Scholarships are available to the dependent children of tobacco growers who are part of PMI's ITP program. The program offers three types of scholarships:

USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting applications for the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program. Landowners may apply for WHIP at any time. However, applications received by Jan. 29 will be evaluated and considered for the 2010 program year. Applications received after that date will be held until the next evaluation period.
Hay is the major source of winter feed for beef cattle and considerable effort and cost goes into producing the hay. This effort and cost increases concern as hay feeding losses increase. Hay losses can be expected with any hay feeding system, however the amount of loss varies with the particular system used. Small square bales fed properly generally have less loss than do large round bales.
On the day after Christmas, David Miller of Hodgenville found what he had been seeking for more than 45 years – his half-sister.
"This was the best Christmas present I could have asked for," Miller said after reuniting with his sibling, Jayne Allen, at LaRue County Sportsman's Lake.
Finding her was a combination of coincidence, collaboration and persistence.
The topic of farm record keeping is about as glamorous as dirt. Farmers will talk about beef cattle, corn varieties, weeds, tobacco insects, weather and chemicals all day long, and sometimes late into the night. But, if you mention recordkeeping, farmers slip away quickly (I might mention, this aversion to recordkeeping is not unique to farmers).

STARKE, Fla. (AP) - Florida was set Wednesday to execute a Tampa area man who killed his estranged wife and her young son in 1985, two years after he had been paroled for murdering his previous spouse.
John Ruthell Henry, 63, was scheduled to receive a lethal injection at 6 p.m. EDT for the stabbing death of his wife, Suzanne Henry, in Pasco County. He also was convicted in Hillsborough County of stabbing Suzanne Henry's 5-year-old son, Eugene Christian, near Plant City, hours after Suzanne's murder.
It would be the 13th execution in Florida since April 2013 and the 18th since Gov. Rick Scott took office in 2011. On Wednesday, the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Henry's last-ditch effort to postpone the execution. He could still appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it has rarely halted Florida executions.
Hours earlier, Georgia and Missouri carried out separate executions, the first since a botched lethal injection in Oklahoma in April revived concerns about capital punishment. Neither execution had any noticeable complications.
Georgia and Missouri both use the single drug pentobarbital, a sedative. Florida uses a three-drug combination of midazolam hydrochloride, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride.
Midazolam, a sedative used before surgery, has only been used in Florida since October; previously, sodium thiopental was used, but its U.S. manufacturer stopped making it and Europe banned its manufacturers from exporting it for executions.
During the first Florida execution using midazolam, it appeared to an Associated Press reporter that it took longer for inmate William Happ to lose consciousness than others who have been executed under the previous drug mix. In the six executions since, the process has appeared to go normally.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday brushed aside questions about the state's execution procedures, saying he has to "uphold the laws of the land."
When asked directly if he had discussed with the Department of Corrections what happened in Oklahoma and whether any changes were needed in Florida, Scott would only say: "I focus on making sure that we do things the right way here."
Henry had previously pleaded no contest to second-degree murder for fatally stabbing his common-law wife, Patricia Roddy, in 1976. He served less than eight years in prison before being released in 1983. He had been on parole for two years when he killed his wife and Eugene. Suzanne Henry's relatives told reporters she hadn't known about John Henry's previous killing when she married him after his release.
During Henry's trial, prosecutors said the unemployed bricklayer went to Suzanne Henry's home three days before Christmas of 1985 to talk about buying a gift for the boy, who was Suzanne's son from a prior relationship. They fought over Henry living with another woman and he stabbed her 13 times in the neck and face, killing her.
Prosecutors said Henry then took the boy and drove around for nine hours, sometimes smoking crack cocaine, before fatally stabbing five times in the neck.
Hours later, Henry told a detective, he found himself wandering a field. He later told therapists he had killed the child to reunite him with his mother.
Henry tried to use an insanity defense for killing his wife.
Psychiatrists at the trial testified that Henry had a low IQ, suffered from chronic paranoia and smoked crack cocaine. He told them he had intended to commit suicide after killing the boy but said he was unable to go through with it.
During the trial, then-Pasco County detective Fay Wilber testified that he drove Henry to find the boy's body. When the boy's "two small feet" were finally seen in the underbrush after dawn, Henry "started crying," Wilber said, according to news reports.
"He was crying and he held on to me," the detective said.
In recent months, Henry's attorneys have questioned whether his client was mentally stable enough to comprehend his death sentence.
In an appeal the Florida Supreme Court rejected last week, Henry's attorney, Baya Harrison III, wrote that Henry's "abhorrent childhood, extensive personal and family mental health history, poor social adjustment, and lack of rational thinking and reasoning skills so impaired his adaptive functioning that he was actually performing at the level of a person with an IQ of 70."
In May, a panel of mental health experts said Henry doesn't suffer from mental illness or an intellectual disability and that he understands "the nature and effect of the death penalty and why it is to be imposed on him," according to court records.
Georgia inmate Marcus Wellons, 59, who was convicted in the 1989 rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl, was executed Tuesday night. Missouri inmate John Winfield, 46, convicted in the 1996 killing of two women, was put to death early Wednesday.
Nine executions nationwide have been stayed or postponed since late April, when Oklahoma prison officials halted the execution of Clayton Lockett after noting that the lethal injection drugs weren't being administered into his vein properly. Lockett died of a heart attack several minutes later.

A discussion of various crochet techniques, including Interlocking Crochet™, a unique crochet technique which creates a double-sided fabric.
Are you looking for an unusual way to help others with your crochet? Here is one I just recently learned about from a reader.
Season 4 of the Emmy-nominated Knit and Crochet Now! Show begins airing on local PBS stations in October.
It's easy to add interest to your crochet projects by slightly altering double or single crochets.
You can use yarn or a double strand of embroidery thread to weave through your project, creating simple, but beautiful designs.
Crochet decorations right on your crocheted projects by using the chain stitch. Work on various Afghan/Tunisian crochet stitches or single crocheted items (or knitted projects for that matter).
Join Interlocking Crochet™'s mailing list!
Every other month you will receive a brief newsletter keeping you informed of the latest Interlocking Crochet™ and Simple & Sensational™ news, announcements of my new free patterns, video tutorials, blog posts, plus special events, contests, and giveaways from various yarn companies and crochet magazine/book publishers.
I will always respect your privacy and never sell your email address.

Responsive Background Slideshow
2.0.0 (last update on Jul 29, 2014)
GPLv2 or later
Paid Download
14 March 2013
- Yes
The eXtro Background Slider is available in these languages:
English, German, Czech, Spanish, Chinese, Greek, Serbian (L & C), Dutch, Polish, Portuguese (pt-BR), French, Croatian, Persian/Farsi (fa-IR), Romanian, Bosnian, Italian, Hungarian, Swedish, Russian, Finnish, Danish
The Responsive Background Slideshow comes with different image animation effects, the duration of each slide can be defined as well as zoom and tilt of the slide image (original effect). Additionally, a caption can be created per slide which can be faded by various animation styles in front of the image. The captions font type, size and color can be defined as well.
Best results can be achieved by using a template which allows to completely fade out the main content, or if you use a template with partially transparent background. The eXtro Responsive Background Slideshow can be published in any
module position, but for best results, we recommend using a background position with low HTML nesting to reduce unwanted side effects.
For best results, we recommend using FullHD images at miniumum.
*** NEW in Background Slider V1.1.0 - V1.7.1 ***
- New feature : image animation duration of 0 produces a freeze frame
- New feature : pattern image can now be selected in backend, or use no pattern image
- New feature : added a module class suffix, add your own class to the module
- added czech, spanish, chinese (simplified), greek, serbian (cyrillic and latin), dutch, polish, portuguese, french, danish, croatian, persian/farsi, chinese traditional, romanian, bosnian, swedish, finnish, hungarian, russian and italian language files.
- You can now use up to 50 images / pictures
- overridable
- Improved compatibility with PHP 5.4 and J3
***** MAJOR UPDATE TO Background Slider V2.0.0 *****
This brand new release adds a BUNCH of new effects: we've added over 25 new effects and still retained compatibility with versions < 2.0.0
The default number of images is now 10.
Asked their support for help on how to add it to my site, and in no time, they did the job.
They even explained to me how to do it if I wanted to try it myself in another website.
Thanks for making this module and for providing fast and friendly support!
Reviews: 3
After I purchased the module I immediately opened a support ticket, and it was responded to within a very short time with a good explanation on what changes needed to be done. A couple of simple changes on a few lines in the module's php file made the trick, and the module now works beautifully on the header of my page.
The support for this component is fast and proffessional.
A highly recommended module!
Double "thumbs up" for the great technical support!!! They put great effort in helping me with some special wishes and modifications. Thanks again!
Just select your background images and save (default settings will produce a nice tilt/zoom effect), that's all - the module does the rest, and it does it good!
The best part about this module: No matter if you want to create a animated background slideshow with zoom/tilt effects, or if you just want to have a static background image - all in between is possible, just play around with the settings.
Thanks for this fantastic module.
Keep up the good work.
Nice module for responsive templates.
Fast support when needed!
Reviews: 42
Thanks guys at Extro Media. Nice job!

tarlia The staff and family are lovely people. It is the kind of place I wanted to stay in since my first visit to Bali in 2005. I certainly didn't expect hotel-grade anything at a place rated as a homestay. Let's just say that you get what you pay for, especially if you're on a budget. Having said that, the main (although minor) problems I had with my room is that the fan's fastest speed does nothing unless you stay directly in front of it, and that the lighting is very dim. The grounds are meticulously kept, but it couldn't hurt to give the bathroom fixtures a more thorough scrub. Breakfast is a highlight, with fresh fruits (some from their own garden) and toast or pancake.

While tennis has given way to golf as the biggest resort attraction, and many of the hotel courts have closed, there are still locations in Waikiki to get your tennis-jones on. Both sides of Waikiki are framed by tennis complexes, with Ala Moana Park containing a 12-court spread and two different sets at Kapi'olani Park. The play is free at the public courts, with open courts readily available during the day, but they tend to fill up after the sun goes down and the asphalt cools off.
Volleyball is an extremely popular spectator sport on the Islands, and no wonder.

Down to one hour this week, we lose the original performance from these bands, which of course brings the show closer to home and follows the proven cover-song format. I have to admit, hearing only covers changed my thoughts of some of these acts. And hearing right up front that one of the artist's first CD purchase was Billy Joel's River of Dreams also changed my thoughts that I might still actually be young. His first album was River of Dreams? Wow. My second album was Billy's An Innocent Man purchased in 1983. As a Billy Joel fan I just can't imagine that the first purchase of his music was his 15th and final pop release. Crazy, but that's OK. Gotta start somewhere, right? Anyway, on to the bands. Franklin Bridge: "Big Shot" I can't believe none of the judges commented on how they flubbed half the lyrics. And this clearly was not them being artistic. This was a singer not remembering what was written on the paper. It's a shame, too, because I thought the arrangement was pretty good. I was not impressed when the singer started his soloing, though. That sounded very jumbled to me. Not impressed this week, so that makes two weeks in a row of disappointment after a very strong beginning for these guys. Cliff Wagner & The Old #7: "You May Be Right" If I didn't know the song I would have sworn it was a bluegrass original. Great choice of songs and awesome arrangement made it fit right into their style. Not only that, but these guys seem to be having a lot of fun with this. Every week they make it through here on out, I'll be shocked. But they deserve it, totally. Denver & the Mile High Orchestra: "Tell Her About It" Another perfect song choice and an obvious one since there are a lot of horns in the original and they wouldn't have to mess with the basic rhythm too much. I'm not really arguing here, but why did they get almost triple the time Cliff Wagner did? They got a very good chance to showcase themselves this week and probably turned in their best performance. Dot Dot Dot: "Pressure" For the past two weeks I've been saying that if Dot Dot Dot were any good, I'd be sure to give them props. Well, here it is. This week they were awesome! "Pressure" suited their retro, new-wave style very well, and the singer sounded really good for a change. This is the first week I've actually enjoyed them. I'm not ready to jump on their boat just yet, but this week at least proved to me they have some talent. Sixwire: "She's Always a Woman" This sounded dreadful to me. I thought it was a bad arrangement with way too much going on in the song. I wonder if Dicko has ever listened to the song, though. Sixwire's interpretation of the lyrics was right on the mark and I thought it made Dicko look kind of silly. Tres Bien: "Movin' Out" Actually, I'm still not sure about this one. I was a little thrown off by the slowed-down tempo at first. Then I went back and listened to it and I kind of dug it. But it wasn't anything special. The change in pace of the whole thing is really confusing my brain. It doesn't take much, I know. The Clark Brothers: "She's Got a Way" This is the first week I've really liked these guys. This was a good song choice for them. I don't necessarily agree with the judges' comment that they were the first ones of the night to totally own the song, but I agree that they were very good. I liked seeing their slower side, rather than the crazy pace they usually play. As a general rule I love the sound of the slide guitar, and this really showcased that. Light of Doom: "The Stranger" Totally unrecognizable. I was looking forward to see what they would do with Billy Joel and it turned out interesting. I think they did the right thing. The only person who really had to learn the song was the singer. The rest of the band came up with their own music for it. And what's weird about that is that this sounded the most modern of anything they've done so far. Though I really wish the guitarist would quit the leg kick and the tossing of the guitar - it's just so clichéd. I wish they would all just stand still, play their music and maybe do a little headbanging if they need to. Just stop trying to be everything that's cheesy about classic metal. The singer did sound OK this week, though, so it was better than previous weeks, but still not the best. The Muggs and Rocket are out. Did you see the Muggs backstage at the end? Clearly they knew they weren't making it and didn't really care. But it still must be so humiliating for both of them to be in a room with 10 year olds and lose to them. It's cruel for the show to leave the kids in the room to the end. If I were Rocket, I'd quit right now. Sexy ladies can't beat six kids. That's a big flashing neon sign saying, "Quit." I guess the show learned from the debacle of last week and didn't let the exiting bands say anything. So tonight my vote goes to the Clark Brothers with Dot Dot Dot and Cliff Wagner tied for a close second. Tough call on who goes home because none were clearly made to leave. I think Franklin Bridge could be in trouble, but I don't think they will go yet. I have to think this will be Light of Doom's last week on this show. Until next week, friends. Check out clips from American Band in our Online Video Guide.

November 28, 2014
EMPORIA, Kan. (WIBW) - A judge granted another delay Friday in the trial of a woman accused of leaving her baby in a dumpster.
Christina Devine is charged in Lyon County with putting her newborn in a sack and leaving it in an apartment complex dumpster in October 2010. The child survived.
This is the fourth delay for the trial, which most recently was set to begin April 2. The judge at Friday's hearing set June 25 as the new date.
Most of the delays have been so the defense could find experts to interpret reports on Devine's diagnosis with neurofibromitosis. NF is a genetic disorder that creates tumors in the nervous system.

A date has been set when Bunny Holmes will be put on trial.
She is charged with murder.
Police say she ordered two men to kill Wendy Morgan in 2004, after Wendy stole drugs.
On Friday, a judge set a trial date for May 22.
Federal agents have also linked Holmes to the quadruple murder in Huntington, but so far there have been no arrests in that case.

The Terrifying Numbers Behind a Whopping Marketing Failure
November 17, 2014
There are lots of scary things out there -- killer viruses, Earth-smashing meteors, the possibility of yet another Real Housewives show. But those are easy to dismiss and push to the farthest corner of the back of your mind. What's really distressing? Numbers. Numbers are really scary -- specifically, the numbers around things marketers know they should be doing but aren't.
SBA Proposal Could Change Landscape for IT Resellers
November 17, 2014
Doing business with the U.S. government is always a challenge. In addition to uncertain budgets, political infighting, and the seemingly endless procurement terms of the Federal Acquisition Regulations, there are many other special provisions that come into play in government contracting. One of them is the small business set-aside policy designed to ensure that smaller companies can participate.
LinkedIn Faces More Litigation for Doing What its Contracts Say It Will Do
November 17, 2014
LinkedIn has been a wildly successful social media business site for many years. It provides a free platform for millions of members to share professional experiences and for businesses to promote themselves. However, LinkedIn's financial success also makes it a target for lawsuits -- even suits that don't seem to make much sense. LinkedIn members voluntarily post their employment history.
Nvidia Launches a New Mobile Device Age
November 17, 2014
There was an announcement last week that I think is far bigger than folks realize: Nvidia announced a free Netflix-like streaming gaming service for its Shield products. I think this is a precursor to an event that is similar to what cable did to TVs years ago, and that it will change not only how we use these devices, but also what we use them for.
Facebook Lubes PR Gears to Dampen Privacy Worries
November 14, 2014
Facebook on Thursday announced Privacy Basics, a set of interactive guides to answer the most commonly questions about how users can control their information on its site. It also aired proposed updates to its terms, data policy and cookies policy; improvements to ad targeting; and expansion of user control over ads. "This is mostly a messaging exercise," said tech analyst Rob Enderle.
Who Knew Tim Cook Would Fight for the American Way?
November 14, 2014
Ninety-one percent of Americans believe they have lost control of their personal information -- and many also don't trust companies that buy, sell, barter, and combine their habits and activities to better "serve" -- aka "manipulate" -- them, a recent Pew Research survey found. Along similar lines, they don't particularly trust governments either.
Charting the Course for the Channel in the Cloud
November 14, 2014
While most people view Salesforce.com's annual Dreamforce event as the largest user conference in the cloud industry, it is also the biggest gathering of cloud companies and their growing assortment of business partners. In many ways, Dreamforce is the best demonstration that the channel isn't dead and actually is prospering in the cloud. This year's Dreamforce was preceded by a Partner Summit.
Amazon, Hachette End E-Book Squabble
November 13, 2014
Amazon and publisher Hachette on Thursday made peace after months of slugging it out toe to toe over e-book pricing, which split the authors' community and saw Amazon pulling some Hachette authors' books off its promo list and slowing delivery of others. Neither company disclosed the specific terms of the deal. However, Hachette will have the right to set the price of its e-books.
Americans Flip-Flop on Personal Data Privacy
November 13, 2014
Despite the publicity about Edward Snowden's controversial leaks, only 43 percent of 607 English-speaking adults surveyed in January had heard a lot about government surveillance efforts, and another 44 percent had heard a little, according to the Pew Research Internet Project. However, 80 percent of the respondents registered concern about government surveillance of communications.
FCC Chair Asserts Independence in Net Neutrality Fracas
November 13, 2014
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has responded to the White House's proposal for Net neutrality rules by reasserting his agency's independence in a meeting with executives of Google, Yahoo and other Internet companies following President Obama's Monday call to action. The president urged the FCC to ensure Net neutrality by interpreting Title II of the Telecommunications Act to govern ISPs.
AT&T Paves the Wireless Future's Way
November 13, 2014
AT&T shared plenty of powerful information and insights about growth for the company and the industry in general at last week's industry analyst meeting. The wireless, telecom, television and Internet businesses will continue to grow and to change in 2015 and beyond. Whether you are a customer, a worker, an investor or a partner, understanding how change will come will be key to success.
The US Government's Tenuous Relationship With Open Source
November 12, 2014
The amount of open source software used by the U.S. government might be one of the biggest secrets in Washington. Not even purveyors of FOSS, as in free and open source software, know the extent of federal agency adoption of nonproprietary software. Some in the Beltway Loop contend that open source is very prevalent. Others suggest that it's avoided because its code is exposed for anyone to see.
Journey Map
November 12, 2014
The journey map and the tools used to make one might be the sleeper part of CRM in the year or two in front of us. The reason is simple: Journey maps enable you to figure out your processes, and they are useful in much more than just marketing. The key element of the emerging customer science idea is that the random and highly reactive approach to front-office business rapidly is being eliminated.
Bankrupt Sapphire Supplier Blasts Apple in Court Document
November 12, 2014
GT Advanced Technologies, in a document made public last Friday, alleged that it "incurred losses ... due to Apple's inordinate control over GTAT's liquidity, operations ..., and decision making." The U.S. Bankruptcy Court of New Hampshire unsealed the document, in which GTAT CEO Daniel W. Squiller accuses Apple of using a "bait and switch" strategy in its dealings with the company.
Money Makes the World Go Round on Singles Day
November 11, 2014
Nov. 11 is Singles Day in China -- aka the "11.11 Shopping Festival" -- and the country's millions of unhitched celebrated the event by spending some quality time with online retail giant Alibaba. So far, the event has generated $9.3 billion in sales and 278 million orders shipped, the retailer reported. Slightly less than half, or 43 percent of those orders, were placed from mobile devices.
Bringing Luxury Online
November 11, 2014
More shoppers are turning to websites as a way to connect with brands and make purchases, and companies are investing heavily in their online presence to ensure that they are delivering a top-notch experience. While the majority of retailers recognize the power of e-commerce, there remains a specific subset of sellers that are hesitant to hop on the online bandwagon: luxury brands.
5 Promises CRM Can't Keep
November 10, 2014
Don't get me wrong -- I think very highly of CRM. I've been making a living writing about it for almost a decade, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Still, covering CRM is a little bit like writing an honest biography of a complex person. Yes, there were moments when your subject achieved great things and was covered in glory, but there were also times when he didn't behave so well.
Are Tiny Internet Satellites Twinkling in Musk's Eyes?
November 10, 2014
Elon Musk, CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla Motors, soon may be venturing into new territory: the Internet satellite sector. Musk reportedly is working with ex-Googler Greg Wyler, founder of WorldVu Satellites, on a $1 billion project to develop a fleet of 700 relatively small and inexpensive models that can be used to provide Internet access around the globe.
Obama Bangs Drum for Net Neutrality
November 10, 2014
President Obama on Monday leaped into the controversy surrounding Net neutrality, calling on the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to ensure and protect it. "I believe the FCC should create a new set of rules protecting Net neutrality and ensuring that neither the cable company nor the phone company will be able to act as a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online," he said.
Texting Drivers Willing to Play With Fire
November 10, 2014
Texting while driving is dangerous. We know that intuitively; we know it because the statistics say so; we know it because we have seen any number of public service announcements warning of its hazards. A whopping 98 percent of respondents in a recent survey of people who text at least once a day acknowledged the danger of texting while driving -- yet most admitted to doing it anyway.
Dell: Using Technology to Change the World
November 10, 2014
I was at Dell World last week, and it is kind of amazing how far the company has come since it went private. Interestingly, much of the big tent content was less about Dell's technology and more about how technology was being used to change the world. This was kind of a scary event in some cases, because we are far from ready for some of the changes.
Phishers' Attacks Pay Off Nicely: Report
November 10, 2014
The most successful phishing attacks manage to dupe their victims a full 45 percent of the time, according to a study released last week by Google. On average, phishing's success rate is about 14 percent, but even the most obvious scams still manage to lure 3 percent of the people targeted to a fake website and convince them to turn over personal information, the report found.
The Law Scores a Victory Against Dark Net Denizens
November 07, 2014
Europol on Friday announced that agents from ICE, the FBI and Eurojust have taken down more than 400 cybercrime services accessible via the Tor browser. They include the dark market Silk Road 2.0. Its operator, Blake Benthall, was arrested, along with six Britons. Europol coordinated the effort. "Almost all crime now has an international nexus," noted ICE Special Agent Gary Hartwig.
Webrooming Takes the Sting Out of Showrooming
November 07, 2014
Showrooming, the bane of retailers, is the consumer practice of visiting a brick-and-mortar store to test out merchandise and then buying the same model online at a cheaper price. Now there's "webrooming" -- a new buzzword for a trend that's been gaining momentum. Webrooming is the consumer practice of using the Internet to research a purchase and then going to a physical store to buy it.
