Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) president Hal Halpin recently sat down with Destructoid to talk about the dangers consumers face at the hands of corporate interests and by politicians creating new regulations and laws that stifle free speech and invade our privacy. We'll update our story later when the full interview goes live, but this quote from Halpin deals specifically with the issue of CISPA and laws like it:
"As witnessed with SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and now CISPA," says Halpin, "the movement by trade associations which represents the rights of companies in the movie, music, and games sectors is persistent and well-funded."
As a reader of GP you are probably well aware of all the things the ECA has been doing to fight bills like CISPA, SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, but if you haven't been paying attention and haven't taken the time to contact your elected representative in Washington, you can get an education at theeca.com/Digital_Rights.
Now is really the time to do something about CISPA, because the bill – or one like it – is going to be voted on by the Senate soon. If it passes through the Senate (a different bill might be put up similar to CISPA) and is reconciled with the House's version, then we won't have any power to stop it. At that point we will have to hope that the White House keeps its promise to veto the bill, or that one of the many parties that oppose it go to court to get it struck down…

Some very prominent investment experts are forecasting additional moves by the Fed to lower interest rates. If they are right, you would want to close your money market accounts and savings accounts, and put the money into long-term CDs before rates drop further.
Before you do that, though, you'll want to consider the value of those forecasts.
Goldman Sachs, PIMCO and Bank of America all expect the Fed to get even more aggressive about buying bonds to drive down market yields. The idea is that driving down yields will lower borrowing costs and provide stimulus to an economy that seems to be teetering on the brink of a relapse into a recession.
What to do if you buy the hype
The national average rate on savings accounts is 0.18 percent, according to the FDIC. Money market rates average 0.26 percent. At those levels, there isn't much room to fall, so don't expect Fed policy to drag savings account and money market rates down too much further.
However, the best CD rates in the five-year range are still up around 3 percent. If the analysts are right, 10-year bond yields could be pushed down to around 2 percent, which would probably mean those long-term CD rates would fall as well. This would argue in favor of locking up CD rates at today's levels.
A contrary view
On the other hand, there are reasons to take those high profile predictions with a grain of salt:
- Recently, there have been signs that the economy might be coming around without further intervention.
- Investment firms sometimes have a way of hyping certain trends. Goldman Sachs, for example, made headlines a couple years ago by predicting that oil would reach $200 a barrel. As a leading bond manager, PIMCO wouldn't have much incentive to promote a bear market for bonds.
- When an outcome is widely expected, it is already reflected in market prices. In other words, bond yields have already fallen a long way on the expectation of a weak economy. They may not have much further to fall.
In short, you should think about bond market trends when making decisions about your deposit accounts, but don't necessarily believe everything you hear from Wall Street.

Molasses Oat Bran Cookies
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 1 hr 20 mins
This healthy (well, healthier) cookie recipe won a prize in the 1990 Pillsbury Bake-Off. It was created by by Constance Dudley of Stanardsville, Virginia. I got the recipe from the 50th Anniversary Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook. Cook time includes refrigeration time and cook time for 2 batches of cookies. These can easily be made vegan by using a vegan egg-replacer like Ener-G. Sometimes sugar is not vegan so you could substitute raw sugar, if desired.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup sugar
- 3⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large eggs or 2 egg whites or 1⁄4 cup egg substitute
- 1⁄4 cup molasses
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups rolled oats
- 1⁄2 cup oat bran or 1⁄2 cup wheat bran
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon clove
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- In a large bowl, mix the oil, egg, 1 cup sugar and molasses and mix very well.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, bran, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves.
- Stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until well-blended.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (This is for easier handling).
- Heat oven to 375°F.
- Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the 1/4 cup sugar.
- Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets and flatten the cookies with the bottom of a drinking glass, dipped in sugar.
- Bake at 375°F for 7-10 minutes until cookies are set and tops are crackle-y.
- Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Most Helpful
This was way to dry to form into balls. Probably had to add another 1/4 cup of molasses. Sure couldn't flatten them before baking as they would still just fall apart. So cooked for 7 minutes, then flattened them with a spatula and baked another 2 minutes. The flavor is great but, I will find another recipe for next time.
These cookies are very good and easy to make. I will make them again. They are very grainy and taste like oatmeal (a good thing in my opinion). I may adjust the spices next time and add some nutmeg or allspice.
Great healthier cookies! Mild molasses flavor that's not overly spicy. Even the kids enjoyed these. I was actually searching to post this recipe and noticed that the original calls for quick-cooking oats, though I'm sure either would work well. To save time, I didn't chill the dough or flatten with a glass and the cookies turned out perfectly round with a lovely crackled top. Thanks, Roosie, for posting!

Sanyo HIT solar cells hit 23% efficiency
Sanyo Electric Co Ltd. has announced that it has broken its own record for energy conversion efficiency in practical size (100 cm2 or more) crystalline silicon-type solar cells, achieving a efficiency of 23.0%—up from 22.3%—for its proprietary HIT (heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer) solar photovoltaic cells.
Sanyo reported the development is part of the effort to expand its solar business, based on its "Think GAIA" branding. The company also said the increase in the solar cell conversion efficiency this time is accompanied by advances that will lower the production cost of the photovoltaic systems and will reduce the use of raw materials such as silicon. The company's HIT solar cell is composed of a single thin crystalline silicon wafer sandwiched by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers.
The company describes the structure and operation of the HIT devices here.

Strauss targets clearer thinking
Watch session-by-session highlights of every T20 and ODI on ecb.co.uk/video
Andrew Strauss has pinpointed England's decision-making under pressure for improvement at the World Cup after they suffered a 6-1 defeat in the Commonwealth Bank Series.
The tourists lost by 57 runs today at the WACA, rounding off what has been a difficult period of limited-overs cricket since they won the Ashes series a month ago.
England's main problem has been their failure to combine strong batting and bowling performances in the same game, with the exception of their win at Adelaide on Australia Day.
"There are a number of things we need to improve on," Strauss said.
"We had times when we bowled well and times when we batted well; we didn't do it when it mattered.
"Making sounder decisions under pressure is clearly something of vital importance in the World Cup because they are all high-pressure games. We didn't do that well enough in this series."
England three times posted their highest total in one-day internationals Down Under but, having done so, went on to lose the first one-day international at Melbourne and the sixth in Sydney.
"There were three or four of the games at the halfway point we were in a very good position to win the game," Strauss added. "To not come through and win more of those is very disappointing."
Today it was Australia who posted an imposing first-innings score with 279 for seven, aided by 19 wides.
England slipped to 64 for five in the 15th over, a position from which a middle-order recovery was not enough to bring them close to victory as they were dismissed for 222 in 44 overs.
"We didn't play particularly well today," Strauss conceded. "There was a lot of wides with the ball in between some good stuff as well.
"I think we should have made a better fist of chasing that down. I don't think that was an unattainable target on this wicket.
"To lose five wickets in the first 15 overs is criminal really when you're chasing down a big score and from that moment on it was always going to be had to win the game."
The wides were shared fairly evenly by an attack that included Liam Plunkett, making only his second England appearance since 2007, and Steven Finn, who made his ODI debut in this series.
Such statistics reflect the injuries that have ravaged the tourists' attack in the last month, although Strauss could see a silver lining in this.
"One of the real benefits we've had in one-day cricket over the last couple of years is that we've had a very settled side and people have known their roles pretty well," he observed.
"That was obviously disrupted in this series and we've had to blood some young guys who are inexperienced and they will have gained a lot from it.
"Moving forward there's a lot to take out of this series but we're clearly disappointed with the way it ended."
England's most pressing injury concern is to a batsman, Eoin Morgan, who missed today's encounter with a broken finger.
Morgan became the sixth tourist to leave the one-day leg of the trip after being diagnosed with the fracture to the middle finger on his left hand.
"He's going to see a specialist tomorrow to decide what the best course of action is to remedy that situation," Strauss revealed.
"There's obviously got be a chance that he's not going to feature (at the World Cup).
"We're going to have to think through - at what stage is the cut-off point the guy needs to be replaced.
"We're pretty confident the other guys are going to be fit, but Eoin Morgan we are not sure of at this stage.
"It's a big loss for us potentially. He is particularly important in those conditions as well, being able to clear the ropes in the manner that he does.
"Hopefully there will be an opportunity for him to play. If he isn't available someone is going to have to fill those shoes."
Morgan suffered the injury in England's sole victory and, underestimating its seriousness, played in the next two games.
"He just thought it was bruised. He got on with it, but just when he was thinking it would start feeling better it got worse and it was restricting his play," Strauss added.
"They went for an x-ray and I think everyone was reasonably surprised to see it was quite a substantial fracture."
Strauss and his team-mates will fly home from Perth tomorrow evening and the skipper knows he has plenty to consider before heading to the World Cup.
"The first thing to ponder is who is fit and who is not fit," he said. "That's going to be important to see exactly where we are and have a clear idea of who our best 11 players available are.
"We've got to think about what we haven't done well on this tour and we've got to think about how to adapt our game to the conditions in the sub-continent pretty quickly.
"There is a few things for us to think about. I'm still feel very confident we can do well out there but we need to play in a different manner to how we have over here."

A fairly quiet and seasonable weather pattern can be expected across eastern Carolina during the upcoming week. Highs will average in the lower to middle 70s with overnight lows in the 50s. There will be a slight risk for showers both Tuesday and Wednesday with a slow drying trend for the latter portion of the week.
Thus far it has been an unusually quiet severe weather season not only for eastern Carolina but the nation as a whole. It appears the weather will remain relatively quiet as we push into the first week of May.

Pat Robertson: Married Women Have Abortions to Have a Level Playing Field With Lesbians? Huh?Sunny Chanel
Give someone a pulpit and they have the opportunity to rant, rave and say some pretty wackadoodle statements. And TV evangelist and 700 Club host Pat Robertson did just that when he used his platform to make some bizarre statements this week.
The 81-year-old preacher made the claim that he believed that 'the left' have opted to support abortions saying "they want to do this, they want to destroy," in order to…get this…make straight women more like lesbians. Huh?
Yes, it makes no sense to me either. His argument goes something like this. He is under the belief that liberals are all for abortions in a way to pander to gay women' who "can't have children." He said that something to the extent that married women didn't want lesbians to feel guilt about their "deficiency" so these women terminated their pregnancies so there would be a "level playing field".
Didn't he see The Kids Are Alright? Doesn't he know who Rosie O'Donnell, Melissa Etheridge, or Sara Gilbert are? All proud lesbian parents. And his statements are causing, understandably, an uproar. The lesbian blogger Cynthia Wright wrote, "How does that even make sense? Lesbians do have children… the babies are planned and are wanted. We are not denied childbirth the only thing we are denied is the ability to accidentally get pregnant." Good point!
How would Pat Roberton ever come to that conclusion? Has anyone heard of a married 'straight' woman having an abortion to level the playing field with the lesbian community? Didn't think so.

wellfield gardens Why should park be available to only those who can pay?
Why should only those who can afford to pay be able to enjoy Wellfield Gardens?
My parents bought their house on North Main Street back in the 1950s, so the Wellfield Botanic Gardens has been important to our family and neighbors since before it had a name. We were happy that the Rotary Club had taken it on as a service project and put paved walkways in so my dad, in a wheelchair, could join us for our Sunday walks. Every time we walked in the park we would see the gifts God gave us in the form of a new flowers and plants or a pond filled with minnows.
I was under the assumption that the land for the park is owned by the city (the people) of Elkhart. Why does this park need to be taken from us and only used by the citizens who can afford the entrance fee?

A wanted man turned himself into police overnight to face charges of shooting at a building and a car.
Marvin Norris, Jr. surrendered to Havelock police just before midnight Tuesday to face a charge of Discharging a Weapon Into an Occupied Dwelling.
Police say Norris shot a gun into an apartment at the Kelly Park Apartments on Shipman Rd. Sunday afternoon. Detectives believe Norris also fired at a gun that was leaving the parking lot. No injuries were reported.
Additional arrest warrants for other cases charging Norris with Discharging a Weapon at a Moving Vehicle and Discharging a Weapon were also served when Norris surrendered to police.
His bond was set at $40,000.
Norris was cleared of a fatal shooting at the same Havelock complex back in November 2012 where he shot and killed 28-year-old Demetri Berry.
Havelock police said 20-year-old Marvin Norris Jr. fired a gun toward building D of Kelly Park Apartments on Shipman Road in Havelock on Sunday.
No one was hurt, although one of the bullets struck inside apartment 2 of the building, according to officials.
Police said Norris also shot at a small, red car as it was leaving the complex.
Norris was cleared of a fatal shooting at the same Havelock complex back in November 2012 where he shot and killed 28-year-old Demetri Berry.
Berry and accomplice Marcus Berry broke into Norris' apartment, armed with a golf club and baseball bat. The two men believed Norris had previously broken into their home.
Police are now searching for Norris for shooting a weapon in the same apartment complex.
Anyone with information about the shooting are asked to call the Confidential Tip Line for Havelock police at 252-463-7115.

this is my first post on this site and i'm new to bike rebuilding and in need of some help:
I am wishing to rebuild my brothers old steel framed Raleigh Supersport from circa 1989. It has square tapered bottom bracket measuring 144 mm (122mm from end of squares, 144mm including the threaded bolts at the end. The crank is missing so i need to get a new one. Can anyone tell me what will fit and what to get?
also, I cannot remove the crank side threaded cup despite soaking in wd40 over night and putting in a vice and knocking with a big hammer and shaped peice of steel. i realised it is a left handed thread but still no joy. i'm wandering wheether there is any need to remove it as the rest of the bottom branket assembly has been removed and fully de-greased and there is no way it will come out with use.
i'm wanting to build a nice road bike at not much cost for commuting in London as i'm fed up of getting beaten by road bikes when i'm on my hybrid!!
your help on getting a crank that will fit will be greatly appreciated.

George Lowe
Birth Name: George Lowe
Born: 11/10/1957
Birth Place: Dunedin, Florida, USA
Prolific voice-over artist George Lowe provided the voice of Space Ghost, the proudly addled host of "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" (Cartoon Network 1994-2004), which imagined the 1960s cartoon hero as the host of a surreal talk show broadcasting from outer space. A veteran announcer for radio and television since the 1970s, Lowe's straight-faced delivery as Space Ghost made him a star of sorts among the show's devoted followers, and led to numerous other voice-over opportunities for cartoon series. When the show ran its course in 2004, Lowe moved into voice-over work for national television commercials and radio, but also continued to share his offbeat talents with animation audiences on show...

2000: Dot-bomb
First came the crash of e-commerce speculation, complete with layoffs, stock crashes, and capital losses. The mascot of this decline was Sock Puppet, the creation of Pets.com, a startup that advertised during the Super Bowl in January and closed down in November.
Call it dot-bomb, dot-bust, or any favorite analog cliché: The gold rush was over. Startup after startup was founded through the 1990s on venture capital, inexperienced management, and visions of grandeur. Too many companies sprang out of nowhere and many fell flat. Instead of carefully managing capital, executives poured money into so-called customer acquisition and pushed themselves toward disaster.
Besides the temptation to Get Big Fast, too many managers saw an initial public offering into the stock market as a destination instead of a mile-marker. Instead of trying to build long-term excellence, they tried to dress up risky business models for investment banks and investors so they could get rich quick.
Part of the problem was that speculators bought e-commerce stocks without understanding that dot-coms were more similar to the retailing sector than to technology. Amazon.com, for example, resembles
Wal-Mart and Sears Roebuck far more than Microsoft and Intel. When the Internet bubble popped in April, this confusion caused a backlash against all technology-related equities, with a grinding, painful decline wasting away most of 2000.
The word dot-com went from implying growth and prosperity to connoting foolishness and greed. Yet e-commerce isn't dead. It just started. Some of the names born in the late '90s will be around for years. Other future greats haven't even started yet.
The other fault line was that the world of personal computers started to shift. Sales dropped and many wondered whether PCs will continue to be the centerpiece of high-tech. This didn't receive nearly as much attention as the failed dot-com, but it is probably more important.
To understand the situation, consider that in the late 1990s consumers purchased computers en masse just to get online. They brought the box home, fired up AOL, Earthlink, or AT&T WorldNet, and entered cyberspace. Box and component makers like Dell, Compaq, and even Apple Computer loved every minute of it. At the same time, PCs became more stable and functional. A typical low-cost model could surf like crazy and run all the software the typical user needed; this was great for users but became a timebomb for the industry.
Since the 1980s the computer industry has relied on obsolescence as a sales tool. The computer purchased today is supposed to become hopelessly out of date in two to four years. By the year 2000, the hardware had crept ahead of the software. A typical word processor, Web browser, and e-mail program work fine as they are and don't necessarily need upgrades. Processor speeds are less important today as more people care about their Internet connection. No wonder Intel's Pentium 4 chip and Microsoft's Windows Me operating system don't generate as much interest as their predecessors.
What gets people psyched up today? MP3, wireless phones, handheld computers. These tiny, pocket gadgets are all moving ahead, giving people power without requiring a laptop or desktop PC. Instead of moving into a virtual world on a desktop monitor, users are putting bits of cyberspace in their purses, pockets, and car stereos. Soon the Internet will be like electricity, plentiful and ubiquitous.
A whole new world (what tech theorist George Gilder refers to as the telecosm) is growing up around us. Like the Internet itself, the "telecosm" promises to change everything from politics to pizza delivery. Growing this infrastructure takes years. Today's wireless technology is like 1980s computers: cool compared to the past but nothing like the future.
In the short term, technological progress beyond mere PCs doesn't yet have the attention of the federal government. Microsoft still faces a court-ordered breakup over alleged predatory acts from the 1990s. Meanwhile, Bill Gates and other executives are trying to change their own business model in ways that may make old issues irrelevant.
On April 3, just as tech stocks were teetering toward a downhill slide, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled that Microsoft misused its monopoly power over the Windows operating system to manipulate other companies and smash the competing Netscape browser. Mr. Gates immediately protested the decision and his company quickly appealed. "The high-technology industry that Microsoft has helped create has unleashed a wave of competition and innovation that has led to new, more powerful products for consumers, at lower prices than ever before," he said.
During the trial and ensuing controversy, Microsoft's defenders argued that the company was in an innovate-or-die situation. Its opponents mocked the charge, saying the company was a marketing machine that mass-produced mediocrity. Today, the world's bellwether software company is in a fight for its life, trying to expand into all sorts of areas including handheld computing video games and high-end Internet products. How well these ventures progress-and the jury is out on all of them-will test the company's greatness.
In the meantime, the average person can enjoy amazing technology at dirt-cheap prices. A good cell phone with rudimentary Internet capability can be had for $100 or less. Dialup Internet accounts still hover around $20 a month. Speedy computers are available for under $1,000.
Consumers are winning the tech wars-and the best is yet to come.

STEELTON, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania family physician has been temporarily barred from practicing medicine amid claims she failed to properly disinfect equipment and put patients at risk of infection.
The State Board of Medicine said Tuesday that Maryjo Szada's license was suspended after an inspection at her Steelton office.
Inspectors allege Szada used Lysol floor cleaner and Lysol spray to disinfect medical tools, including gynecological equipment, for at least a year and admitted leaving dirty gynecological equipment sitting in a sink for a week.
Investigators said specimens from pap smears and a sexually-transmitted disease test had been sitting around for days and Szada told them she didn't know what patients they belonged to.
A phone message could not be left for Szada on Tuesday because the voice mailbox was full.

(KSHB) A Shawnee, Kansas mom wants other parents to be aware of a virus being investigated right now in the Kansas City area.
Fourteen infants from Missouri and Kansas have become sick from a parechovirus referred to as HPeV3.
Katie McClure's son, Sean, was just 5 days old when he suddenly stopped breathing. McClure instructed her older son to call 911. Once Sean arrived to the emergency room at Children's Mercy Hospital, doctors diagnosed Sean with HPeV3. The virus led to meningitis in her son's brain.
Days later, doctors told McClure her son wasn't going to make it. He was having seizures constantly and required a feeding tube.
"They only gave him 24 hours to live," McClure explained.
Fast forward one month, and Wednesday, Sean is now home from the hospital and improving.
McClure said Sean's doctors are worried about brain damage, but no longer concerned he won't make it.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is investigating 14 cases; nine babies from Kansas and five from Missouri have the virus. All of the infants had to be hospitalized.
The virus isn't rare, but doctors said the babies coming to area hospitals are younger and sicker than what they normally see.
"It appears we're seeing more babies in the first couple weeks of life. We know that with other viruses, babies who have infection in the first week or two of life may have more severe disease," Dr. Mary Anne Jackson, the Division of Infectious Diseases Director at Children's Mercy, said.
This type of virus is new to doctors. It's only been researched for the past five years.
McClure said she's just glad to have her son home in her arms and is so thankful for Sean's doctors.
"They did the best they could and here he is. He's our little miracle man. He showed them that you can get through it," she said while snuggling up to her son on the couch.
However, researchers said the majority of babies don't have any long-term effects.
"In one study out of Toronto sick babies, 90% of those babies were completely normal as they grow up. So do we know all the answers about this virus at this point? Not yet," explained Dr. Jackson.
The Shawnee Mission Medical Center and Children's Mercy Hospital both reported cases of the virus.
KDHE said it hasn't found any common factors linking the cases together. They said the virus is more common in the summer months.
Babies can get this virus as easily as adults can catch a cold, according to the KDHE. One common place the virus spreads is on public diaper changing tables. Doctors suggest parents washing their hands more frequently and wiping down public changing tables with an antibacterial wipe.
Infectious Disease Specialist at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Dr. John Fried, said, "The virus will live in the environment, the table, linen that's been soiled for several hours."
Breast feeding will also protect infants from the virus. "The most severe illnesses mostly found in birth and six weeks old .. around six weeks the baby can start making it own antibodies and has more protection. That first month the baby depends a lot on the antibodies from the mother through the birth process or the breast milk."
The virus impacts infants less than 12 months old. School-age children are immune to this particular HPeV3 virus.
Symptoms vary, though meningitis is common with many infants who come in contact with HPeV3. Children can also develop a rash on their hands or feet. Some symptoms include those for meningitis, including diarrhea, vomiting and respiratory illness. Other symptoms include high fever, high-pitched crying, irritability and others, but doctors caution that just because a child has those symptoms, it doesn't mean children have HPeV3, as those symptoms are consistent with other ailments.
Parents and caretakers are urged to use proper handwashing techniques and to keep sick people away from the child. Specific transmission of the virus has not been completely determined, but doctors say it's more than likely through body secretions.
KDHE is urging parents to take their children to the hospital right away if they notice any symptoms. A specific test can determine if the child has the HPeV3 parechovirus.

How to Save a Sputtering Social Media Program
Jun 6th
By Stanford Smith, {grow} Contributing Columnist
I pray that you never find yourself in this position but I suspect that many "community managers" find themselves in a dire situation.
The numbers don't look good. The social media conversation around your brand looks worse. Even though you've put in a herculean effort, you always run out of time, money, and people. The management team, already dubious about social media smells blood in the water.
How do you turn the ship around? What can you do now that demonstrates that you have a grasp on the realities of your program and have a realistic strategy for getting back on track?
The first step is to understand why social media programs fail. After you identify the pitfalls, you can devise a response. Let's start with the pitfalls.
Why Programs Suffer
Social Media programs sputter and fail for a variety of reasons. There are several factors that are particularly lethal:
Checking the Box
There is tremendous pressure for businesses to "do something" with social media. Marketing teams are forced to create platforms to check off their social box. This often leads to fancy social profiles on Twitter and Facebook that lack meaningful content. Worse sporadic updates to the platforms communicate the organization's lack of commitment.
Wrong Objectives
Social media is still a relatively young discipline. This makes it difficult to properly align social media's capabilities with an organization's objectives. Often, the marketing team lumps social under a vague "brand awareness" goal.
This lack of clarity leads to confusion about content creation. Worse, wrong objectives often leads to poor (even unfair) evaluation of social media's performance. Bad evaluation leads to poor decisions creating a program death spiral.
Scarce Resources
Social media is resource intensive. A well-resourced program includes copywriters, designers, metrics analysts, along with support from other departments such as customer service, product marketing, etc.. Unfortunately, poorly performing programs are often staffed with junior-level people who lack broad marketing expertise and little authority to get management level buy in.
Crippled Content
It's important to understand that social media is a tactic in an overall content marketing strategy. Content Marketing relies on creating a steady flow of high-value information designed to build rapport, establish thought leadership, and pre-sell products. Sporadic or non-existent content results in an anemic social program focused on rehashed information and generic updates.
A heavy reliance on social chatter tactics like facebook updates and Twitter tweets is a tell-tale sign of a content starved social program.
What You Can Do Today
Find What's Working
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Look through your metrics and find areas that show promise. Look for social platforms that are delivering high-value traffic to your ecommerce and/or conversion pages.
Over the long-term it's wise to rely on social platforms that you own such as your blog. You have direct influence on a blog's content and can quickly optimize its performance. From there you can focus social platforms that generate high-value traffic.
Double Down on Success
Once you find an opportunity, dedicate resources (people and budget) to increase performance. For example, if Pinterest drives high-quality traffic to your ecommerce website then increase content production for this platform. Realigning your resources will boost traffic and offer more data for testingand optimization.
Sacrifice the Good to Promote The Great
Have the courage to pull resources from areas that are not working. It's important to focus your best talent and resources on platforms that deliver results. I know from experience that It's tough to postpone work or abandon a platform. However focusing your team will create the performance required to lobby for additional resources and budget. You'll also gain valuable expertise (i.e. content production) needed to improve other social programs.
What You Should Do Tomorrow
I've learned that frank conversations with the management team is the only way to save a floundering social program over the long-term. Many times the management team harbors misconceptions about the capability of social media. Other times, C-Level executives are genuinely interested in social media but don't know what it takes to create a successful program.
In both of these situations, you will need to commit to educating management and your peers. Your initial efforts will consolidate resources and create successes, use these wins to gain credibility for future improvements. I know of a social media manager that created an internal blog geared towards educating her team and management. This effort was invaluable for building support, patience, and enthusiasm for her efforts. You could do the same.
Your Turn
Which of these problems are crippling your social program. Which of the solutions makes the most sense for your organization?

Pavel Konoplenko
This is a great post! Thank you for writing this. As I'm sitting here, creating a social media strategy at my first ever full-time job, it's essential for me to be mindful of how social media campaigns can fail. I realize more and more how important it is to be adaptable, so you can leverage opportunities which are working and change those that aren't. As in all things, practice and hard work makes perfect.

This is very helpful advice Stanford. As a B2B marketing agency, my team is expected to excel at our social media program but it takes a lot of work. It also helps to apply a fresh perspective from time to time and that's what your article is all about.
As much as I Iearn from others via social media, sometimes I have nothing to add. Thankfully we have a team that contributes and I'm not the only one. Because we practice what we preach about social media, we're more understanding of how challenging it can be for our clients too. I think you've outlined some great ideas for refreshing any social media program – including ours!
Thanks for the great post Standford!
http://twitter.com/GettysburgGerry Gerry Michaels
Great point Stanford, and yes there are times when things take some time and some further manipulation to get traction. I will admit that Pinterest has "bailed me out" on more than one occasion. It's amazing how nothing works the same for every situation. I have had similar brands and had to design what turned out to be two very different strategies. I think you hit it correctly when talking about patience, it takes time to build a social community around a brand, that is something I make any and all perspective clients understand for the first step.
Nicely done Sir and thanks…

Great stuff dude… I definitely believe that way, way too many businesses come into social media with the wrong objectives.
They don't set up the proper internal tracking systems to determine true Revenue ROI so they focus on Likes and Shares and BS that doesn't matter… And they fail.
Thanks for a great article!!

Hi Stanford,
Being fairly new to social media for our business this sounds like exactly what I need. We get calls from telemarketers saying they can get you on the first page of Google, but don't trust their methods. I am going to get your info on How to get your first 1000 readers.
http://www.facebook.com/tara.geissinger1 Tara Geissinger
My apologies, I am a little behind on my blog reading and thus just getting to this now. I love that you recognize that it makes sense to abandon platforms that are not performing. Too many times I feel the pressure to be everywhere, but it simply isn't possible right now. Rather than spreading myself thin, I've decided to concentrate on just a few networks and really "work" them rather than trying to be everywhere. It's working so far, but there is always that little bit of guilt when I read something cool about a network that I'm not "working." Your post made me feel better about that!

I have a process that inserts 10 million records into a mysql db and is running on a linux box with (4 * 2.13GHz processors + 4 gigs of Memory ). Right now it takes ~2 hours to complete and I'm not sure if the process utilizes all the processors. Using top I increased the priority ( reniced to -20) and the running time was down to 20 minutes.
I'd like to make the process utilize all the processors and'd like to know what tool I can use to look it up ?
Is there any other way I can throw more cpu/memory to the running process and increase execution speed ?

Love him or hate him, if you are interested in American politics there is a good chance you have run across Sean Hannity a time or two before.
The outspoken conservative Fox News talk show host will pass his 1,000th episode at the network today. He averages nearly 2 million nightly viewers and is the top cable news performer at 9 p.m., as well as one of the biggest conservative media voices. Who would have guessed that when he started with the network in 1996 co-hosting an hour-long program with liberal Alan Colmes.
Hannity recently discussed his time with Fox News, as well as his feelings about the news media in general.
"When we started on Fox News in 1996, [Newsday critic] Verne Gay wrote that Alan Colmes looks funereal and Sean Hannity has a bad haircut and no business being on television," he remembered. "He's actually a great guy, and we've joked about it since, but at the time I called Neil Cavuto and asked, "Does this mean I'm getting fired?... In all honesty, I did have a bad haircut and I had no business being on television. I was awful. I've said to Roger [Ailes] many times, "Why didn't you fire me in the first six months? I was god awful." He said nobody was really watching then. The timing for me to grow was perfect. Today, there would have been articles written about how I did that first night. It's much more competitive."
Compared to where journalism was when he started, Hannity feels like journalism has changed for the worse.
"I think journalism in America is dead as we used to know it, and I think journalism is there to serve people, but the people in my business want to go to parties and the Washington Correspondents Dinner, and I'm proud to say I've never been to one of them. I have more excuses on Washington Correspondents weekend than you can shake a stick at. I never want to go," he added.
While Colmes is not with him any longer on the air, the duo remains close.
"[I see him] almost everyday. Our offices are literally next door to each other. Just this week he said that he's on TV more than he's ever been. We kind of just made the decision that it would probably be best for him to do some other programs first, but he's been on the show. We're good friends," he said.

GoPro Motorsport HD Hero 960 5MP Camera
The Go Pro HD Hero 960 is the new cost effective solution to the pricier 1080 Hero HD Wide Camera. By cutting a few high end features and additional accessory/mount items, Go Pro was able to bring the 960's retail price to $179 which is $120 less than the 1080. The 960 is only capable of 720P widescreen (16:9) and 960p (4:3) at 30fps (frames per second). For the majority of consumers this will be enough video horsepower and the savings will justify the lack of full 1080p widescreen video.
The 960 also includes a helmet mount:
We love the Go Pro line of cameras and are currently using the original Go Pro for our on-track footage. I see an upgrade in the future to an HD model!

03/19/2013, Detroit
Well here is the plan, I am going to.take this.little boat everywhere I can. I am on the Detroit River across from Belle Isle so my first trip will be to Sindbads to eat. I won't even have to put the sails up.
There are so.many places go and see. They race on Lake St. Clair every week. The river is cool. Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, Mackinac, Ceder Point, Put n Bay, and that is all in my backyard.
I want to take it to N.C. for a month around Cape Fear and the most important life altering trip is the Bahamas. Trailer it down to Florida and head to West end or Bimini I don't care both are better than Detroit in the winter.
I don't care where I go or get to as much as I go and get anywhere. Life is.to. Short.not to.live.
So follow my journeys and we will see together where I make it to. Now I an just waiting for the ice to melt. I will.have enough project to keep.me busy till then
This is the first blog or as Kirk would say "Captains log" I am starting to record my adventures with It, ldo my Cal 20. It is sitting in the Detroit River frozen in ice right now. I am waiting for the thaw.
They are solid boats and I looked at tons before picking this one. There were many that were newer, bigger, nicer,and a better value. I got her for a 1000 so not too bad of a start. She didn't have a motor or trailer so when you ad those I could.have picked up.a 25 to 29.
When I went down to the goatyard (that was not a misprint look it up on Google very cool) I met Stephen and Sue for.the first time. I was expecting some cheesy broker and instead they were a very likable couple in an older Toyota. I could Write all night on how cool they are and how much they are helping poor people like me get on the water.
I saw The first Cal I liked it very clean looking. We walked around a looked at many nice boats and a few beat ones. I liked them all but none jumped.out at me. We went down the street to.the marina and I saw her and new this.was my boat and the beginning of a friendship

Jolie's Bond wishAngelina Jolie is desperate to be a Bond girl.
The sexy actress, who is pregnant with lover Brad Pitt's baby, was being lined up for a role in the latest 007 adventure 'Casino Royal' but reportedly ruled herself out.
Bosses eventually signed up French beauty Eva Green to play double agent Vesper Lynd opposite Daniel Craig, but Jolie insists she still hopes to appear in a movie with the suave spy one day.
She said to Britain's Heat magazine: "I'd have given my eye teeth to land a role in a Bond movie."
Green and Craig are both set to bare all in the film, which will feature some of the raciest scenes ever seen in the series.
The move to make 'Casino Royal' the sexiest 007 film ever has come from Barbara Broccoli, 45, who runs the franchise.

Debunking a New Myth: Mobile Phones and Dying Bees
Bee colonies have been dying in Europe and America for years. Scientists have studied the usual suspects -- climate change, genetic engineering -- but a new theory is even more bizarre. Maybe mobile phones are to blame.
Is your phone fatally confusing to bees?
No one doubts the phenomenon: Bees really are dying en masse. Populations have collapsed by up to 70 percent in the last several months on the American east coast. Beekeepers and scientists even have a name for the phenomenon -- "Colony Collapse Disorder." The German Beekeepers Association (Berufs und Erwerbs Imkerbunds, or DBIB) estimates the collapse across Germany at about 25 percent. But why is it happening? The Independent based its mobile-phone theory on a paper by German researchers at the University of Koblenz-Landau.
Physicist Jochen Kuhn and his colleagues in Landau have studied the influence of high-frequency radiation on bee populations for years. In two pilot studies -- the latest one came out in 2006 -- the researchers just wanted to learn if there was any potentially bad effect at all. They arrived at a cautious conclusion, namely that bees exposed to strong radiation had a harder time flying back to their hives than unexposed bees. "Honeycomb area and mass showed a disadvantageous trend for the radiated bees," said Kuhn in an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE, "with no statistical significance."
High-frequency radiation? Electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile-phone towers are high-frequency radiation. But that alone can't explain the bee deaths, because Kuhn's team used a base station for DECT telephones as a radiation source -- and DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) signals are used for cordless phones at home, not for mobile phones. "DECT and GSM (for mobile phones) use a number of different frequencies and a number of different modulation- and pulse-processes," Kuhn says. "We still don't know whether these (signals) have even a potential effect on bees. And, if they do, we don't know which ones."
Other signal protocols like GSM and UMTS still have to be studied. DECT was just easy to use for the pilot studies because a broadcast station was easy to find and inexpensive. "Our intention wasn't to explain the massive bee deaths, which in any case started after our research started," says Kuhn. The pilot studies only looked at the fundamental question of whether high-frequency fields could influence bees' learning behavior.
Even the setup of the experiment should discourage hasty conclusions: The experimental DECT base station was placed in the beehive, and the insects received an extreme dose of radiation that would be nearly impossible to find in nature. "We started with maximum strength to see if there would be any effect at all," said Kuhn.
The debate over the causes of bee deaths on both sides of the Atlantic has focused on a number of suspects:
- The American "Colony Collapse Disorder Working Group" has discussed something called "the AIDS of the bee industry." But it's not clear to anyone whether the busy insects might be suffering from a new, unknown sexual infection or a known one.
- Bacteria from genetically modified crops could affect the bees' intestinal surfaces and make them vulnerable, according to Hans Hinrich Kaatz from the University of Halle, in an interview with SPIEGEL ONLINE.
- Manfred Hederer, President of the German Beekeepers Association, told SPIEGEL that he believed the bees were dying from "some kind of poison, a certain active agent, which we have not discovered."
- Climate change is also on the list. Global warming has changed growth and blossoming periods of plants in many parts of the world, which in turn can influence animals.
- And now "mobile phone radiation" should be added to the list, or -- as The Scotsman put it over the weekend -- "emissions from mobile phone towers."
One last theory: Overcultivation
Jürgen Tautz, a bee researcher at the University of Würzburg, is sceptical about the mobile-phone theory but still calls it "worth researching." It's known, he says, that honeybees are "react with extreme sensitivity to changes in the earth's magnetic field." Tautz plans to let a working group he's organized study the question of whether some unpleasant interaction might exist between radio networks and honeycombs.
But it's still a matter of debate whether the bees are healthy and unstressed. Professional beekeepers have warned for years about rising problems in their colonies:
- Varroa mite disease, from Asia, with the discouraging Latin name varroa destructor, has threatened European bee populations for over 20 years.
- Because farmers spray wildflowers as weeds and prefer monoculture -- planting the same crops year after year on a given plot of land -- the bees' range of nutritional food has shrunk.
- Beekeepers also list the introduction of so-called green genetic engineering as a potential problem. But the actual acreage of these open-air experiments in Germany represents less than 0.1 percent of the nation's total cultivated area.
Another explanation -- one not unknown among apiarists -- may be even more important. Tautz believes that intensive beekeeping may itself be one of the main problems. Raising dense colonies of bees narrows the genetic pool for a population, and less genetic variation weakens any species. In Turkey, where bees haven't been cultivated as intensely as they have in Germany, for example, mass deaths like the ones observed now in Europe and the United States would be unimaginable.

WNIN-TV, a public TV station in Evansville, IN, has ordered channel branding, master control and monitoring equipment from Miranda Technologies to streamline operations in its master control room.
Implemented by system integrator Heartland Video Systems, the installation includes five Miranda Imagestore master control switching and channel branding processors, which provide automated and manual control of one HD and four SD channels. During live production, a Presmaster panel will enable WNIN to move master control operations to a secondary control point in the production area, allowing the master control operator to assist with live production, while still maintaining full control of the automated channels.
Imagestore Intuition coprocessors will generate data-driven graphics templates, which enable the station to create individual looks for each channel.
All the master control outputs and off-air signals will be monitored by Miranda's iControl system, which offers highly graphical facility representations, with full motion and high-quality streaming video. The system offers instant access to signal information and allows operators to drill down through facility views to assess specific signals and alarms.

MUMBAI: Expressing confidence that the new government will spur the growth and investment in the country, European Union today said nothing damaged India's reputation more than the retrospective tax legislation (now deferred for two years).
"Nothing has been damaging India's reputation as much as the retrospective tax law. I believe in the near future a new government will deal with this problem," European Union envoy Joao Cravinho said at an event here.
