The reader asked a question and the answer seemed obvious, and terrible.
He asked, "Tomorrow (July 2) is the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. Do you think the Congress would pass that law today?"
Not if you look at the members of Congress and the nation they reflect, the divisions, the distrust, the extremes.
Fiftieth anniversaries are supposed to be about celebrations.
This one raises questions. Most important: Are we there yet?
It must have seemed in 1965 that the Civil Rights Act was the solution to an ugly, lingering problem. It didn't work out that way.
If anything, Congress and the states, including our own, seem bent on weakening protections for civil rights and voting rights.
The late Sen. Barry Goldwater was derided 50 years ago for having voted against the Civil Rights Act. He argued that the act was unconstitutional. Opponents said it violated of states' rights. Today, with all the states' rights advocates across the country, Goldwater would be on the winning side, putting himself in front-runner position for a presidential nomination, only this time with a good chance to win.
Fifty year ago the bill passed in the Senate 73-27 and the House 289-126. It happened mostly because of support from Democrats from the North and Republicans. Imagine that. A bipartisan agreement.
Today's Republicans, fearing retribution from their Tea Party wing, wouldn't be so accommodating.
In 2014 it's as if we don't recall what the Civil Rights Act stood for or why it was important.
At the time he signed the legislation, President Lyndon Johnson said, "Those who are equal before God shall now also be equal in the polling booths, in the classrooms, in the factories."
It was a lovely thought, though it never completely came true.
Equality has been eroded.
Just last year the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, under which nine states with histories of discriminating against minority voters (including Arizona) were required to submit any change to voting procedures to the Justice Department.
Our Legislature moved to alter the rules, making it more difficult for some people to vote and creating a two-tiered system of voter registration that requires proof of citizenship for state and local races but not federal ones. It's a system bound to create confusion at the polls and done without any proof of widespread voter fraud.
Could creating such an unnecessary procedure have anything to do with a fear of new minority voters?
Just as those who opposed the Civil Rights Act feared the participation of minority citizens?
Just as the current lack of immigration reform legislation is, in part, a fear of such participation?
And without a Civil Rights Act would there be even more concern about such rights in a state like Arizona, where the legislature passed both SB 1070 and SB 1062?
Fifty years after the fact it seems as if a hopeful President Johnson was overstating the facts.
Those who are equal before God are not yet equal in the polling booths, in the classrooms or in the factories.

The title of this volume is an unfortunate misnomer, for the book will be most useful to physicians dealing with infections having surgical overtones. The author has a good feeling for the pathophysiology of infection, and his emphasis upon the necessity of combining skillful medical and surgical practices with antibiotics in the management of infections is the most noteworthy feature of the book. This is particularly evident in the chapters on trauma, burns, osteomyelitis, and intra-abdominal infections. Curiously, there is little discussion of postoperative infections or of the role of prophylactic antibiotics in various conditions. Many common bacterial infections are not discussed (eg, streptococcal sore throat, gonococcal urethritis) or are discussed only briefly.
While many interesting bits of information are presented, a tendency towards brevity frequently diminishes their utility. For example, the use of human tetanus hyperimmune gamma globulin is discussed, but many details of tetanus immunization which are important

San Diego pension official quits over legal issue
The city of San Diego's refusal to give additional legal protection to its pension board has led one member to quit and the incoming president to question whether he is willing to serve.
Susan Gonick, who was appointed by Mayor Jerry Sanders in 2007, quit the board last week shortly after a City Council committee declined a request by pension officials to provide broader legal indemnification to board members that would allow them to hire their own attorneys at taxpayer expense. Ray Ellis, scheduled to become board president on April 1, initially told Sanders last week that he would be unwilling to accept a reappointment but has since said he is open to serving again.
The persistent legal issues raised at the San Diego City Employees' Retirement System has led to concerns by board members, who are unpaid volunteers, that they could be sued as individuals and be forced to defend themselves at great personal expense if the city balks at representing them. The city may struggle to fill vacancies on the 13-member board in the future if those concerns aren't addressed.
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, who has been highly critical of the proposal, said it was unnecessary and reckless to provide additional legal cover to the pension board beyond the protection they already receive as public employees under state law. Council members followed his advice and rejected the proposal March 9.
Two days later, Ellis informed Sanders in a letter that he was frustrated with the city's decision and would unwilling to serve beyond his current term, which expires March 31.
"I appreciate the confidence you had in appointing me in September of 2008, but the city of San Diego's position on trustee indemnification on civil litigation is unacceptable to me," Ellis wrote. "... Any suggestions and attempts to reach common ground on our part have been met with resistance or a simple 'no.'"
Ellis reconsidered after the pension board held a closed session meeting on Tuesday and has informed the mayor that he is open to a second four-year term, said Mark Hovey, the pension system's chief executive. Hovey said he couldn't divulge what was discussed in closed session.
Ellis and Gonick declined to comment Thursday through Hovey. So far, no other members have said they would leave the panel.
The board is responsible for administering the retirement benefits of city, port and airport employees and managing investments for the $5 billion fund. The mayor has seven appointees along with a city representative while the five other slots are filled with active and retired workers.
There is precedent for offering legal indemnification to board members, but it is viewed by many at City Hall as a prime example of bad public policy.
A previous City Council granted blanket legal protection to pension board members in 2002 as part of a deal that significantly increased retirement benefits for city workers. At the time, board members feared lawsuits because the deal also called for them to allow the city to underfund the pension system, an ill-advised financial decision that led to today's $2.1 billion pension deficit.
The city rescinded that indemnification policy in 2006 but not before racking up $2 million in legal fees to represent six former trustees in two pension-related civil cases. Now those same officials are suing the city for an additional $5 million in attorneys' fees stemming from criminal prosecutions that were eventually dropped. They had faced conflict-of-interest charges for their role in the 2002 deal after prosecutors accused them of sweetening their own pensions with the vote.
In his letter to Sanders, Ellis directed much of his frustration at Goldsmith.

What a load of horse s*** !!
As much as I like Kimi and Lotus, I find it disgusting that drivers like Valsecchi is playing the Martin Whitmarsh role - "Oh, the team is that, this" "Oh, Im confident Romain this that".
What they guy really should be writing in his column is the truth - "Lotus is such a good car this year, i really feel I should have been the racing driver". but no, this guy wants to be Martin Whitmarsh!

The game will also air nationally on Touchdown Radio with Roxy Bernstein and Gino Torretta on the call.
HUSKIES vs. DUCKS HISTORY: Washington leads the all-time series against the Ducks with 58 wins, 39 losses and five ties. While the series of games played in Eugene has the Ducks enjoying a 14-12 edge all-time (Oregon's home games vs. the UW were played in Portland for many years), the Huskies are 31-19-4 against their cross-border rivals in games played in Seattle. Washington has been a frequent visitor to Eugene in recent years. Last seasons' game in Seattle was just the third in the decade while they've met at Autzen in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008. The teams didn't play each other in 2001, the first break in the series since 1943, when Washington played only military opponents. The Ducks have had the edge of late, winning 11 of the last 15 against the Dawgs. The Huskies, however, have won 15 of the last 28 and 21 of the last 35. Last year at Husky Stadium, Oregon won, 43-19. Two years ago in Eugene in the season-opener for both teams, Jeremiah Masoli came off the bench and led the Ducks to a 44-10 win. In 2007 in Seattle, the Huskies and Ducks were tied at 31-31 after three quarters before Oregon pulled away in the final period for a 55-34 win. The Huskies' last win over Oregon was in 2003, when Shelton Sampson and Kenny James both rushed for over 100 yards in a 42-10 Husky victory. Washington and Oregon first met on the football field in 1900, a 43-0 Oregon win in Eugene. The Huskies got their first win in the series in the next meeting, a 6-5 victory in 1903. From 1974 to 1993, Washington won 17 of 20 meetings. The series also features one of the biggest year-to-year turnarounds in college football history as the Ducks beat the Huskies, 58-0, in 1973 and then lost at the UW, 66-0, the following year.
WASHINGTON-OREGON TIES: While there's barely any crossover between the UW and UO coaching staffs, many Husky and Duck players have played with or against one another in their high school days. On the coaching side, longtime Duck assistant Gary Campbell was on the coaching staff at Pacific for one season when UW defensive coordinator Nick Holt played there. Washington's current roster includes just two players from the state of Oregon: freshman OL James Atoe, from The Dalles; and sophomore WR Jordan Polk of Portland. The Ducks' roster, however, includes five Washingtonians: OL Nick Cody (Brush Prairie/Hockinson), OL C.E. Kaiser (Veradale/Central Valley), TE David Paulson (Auburn/Riverside) and DL Jonathan Witz (Mercer Island). A fair number of other Huskies and Ducks went to the same high school, mostly in California: UW kicker Erik Folk and Oregon PK Eric Solis and WR Kenjon Barner all went to Notre Dame High near Los Angeles. Husky DT Chris Robinson and Oregon's Javes Lewis both went to Tustin (Calif.) High while Husky DT De'Shon Matthews and Duck LB Bryson Littlejohn are both grads of Laguna Creek HS in Sacramento. UW O-lineman Colin Tanigawa and Oregon's Chad Peppars both attended L.A.'s Loyola High, and Husky Gregory Ducre and Duck Terrell Turner both played at Crenshaw. Lastly, UW's Erik Kohler and Nick Montana both went to Oaks Christian High, same as Oregon's Anthony Gildon and Casey Matthews; while Husky OL Gregory Christine and Duck DB Troy Hill both went to St. Bonaventure.
DAWGS AND THE NORTHWEST: Washington's oldest and longest rivalries are against the other three other northwest Pac-10 schools. The Huskies have faced Washington State 102 times, Oregon in 102 games and Oregon State on 94 occasions. Washington owns the advantage in all three series. The Huskies lead the Ducks 58-39-5, Washington State 65-31-6 and Oregon State 57-34-4. Combined, Washington has a 180-104-15 (.627) record against its northwest rivals. Washington has played all three of the Northwest teams in a season on 81 prior occasions. Over those 81 seasons in which Oregon, OSU and WSU were all on the UW schedule, the Dawgs have swept all three 28 times. In the meantime, the Huskies have lost to all three in the same season on only seven occasions.
UW AGAINST NO. 1: Washington has played 11 games against No. 1 teams, as ranked by the Associated Press. The Huskies have posted only a 1-9-1 record in such games, with the lone victory coming over top-ranked Minnesota in the 1961 Rose Bowl. The last such game, in 2007 vs. top-ranked USC, nearly resulted in upset as the Huskies fell by three points, 27-24. The Huskies' first-ever game against a No. 1 team had to have been considered an upset as an unranked UW team travelled to Berkeley and held top-ranked California to a 0-0 tie. Of the 10 No. 1 teams the Huskies have played, the '60 Michigan team, the '67 USC team, the '72 USC team, the 2001 Miami Hurricanes and the 2004 Trojans went on to win the AP national title, though the '37 Cal, '39 USC, and '69 Ohio State each won minor poll championships. Here are Washington's 11 all-time games against No. 1-ranked (AP only) teams:
Nov. 6, 1937 at California T, 0-0 Dec. 2, 1939 at USC L, 7-9 Jan. 2, 1961 vs. Minnesota (Rose Bowl) W, 17-7 Oct. 21, 1967 USC L, 6-23 Oct. 19, 1968 at USC L, 7-14 Oct. 4, 1969 Ohio State L, 14-41 Oct. 21, 1972 at USC L, 7-34 Nov. 24, 2001 at Miami (Fla.) L, 7-65 Oct. 23, 2004 at USC L, 0-38 Oct. 22, 2005 USC L, 24-51 Sept. 29, 2007 USC L, 27-24
PLAYING THE TRUE FRESHMEN: In the BYU game, Washington set a school record by utilizing 13 true freshmen. The largest number of true freshmen every to play in a season at the UW was 12, in 2008. Against Syracuse, a 14th first-year man played. Here's a list of freshmen who have played this year: TB Jesse Callier, CB Gregory Ducre, FB Zach Fogerson, LB Princeton Fuimaono, LB Garret Gilliland, TE Michael Hartvigson, DE Hau'oli Jamora, OL Erik Kohler, S Sean Parker, LB Cooper Pelluer, OL Colin Porter, DT Sione Potoa'e, WR Kevin Smith and S Taz Stevenson. Additionally, seven true freshmen have started at least one game this season: Callier, Fuimaono, Gilliland, Jamora, Kohler, Porter and Potoa'e.
CAPTAINS: At the "Raise the Woof!" kickoff celebration held on Aug. 27, the four captains for the 2010 season, as voted by their teammates, were revealed. They are senior LB Mason Foster (Seaside, Calif.), junior offensive tackle Senio Kelemete (Seattle, Wash.), senior QB Jake Locker (Ferndale, Wash.) and senior S Nate Williams (Renton, Wash.). Locker was also voted as a season captain in 2009. Additionally, at each game, two game captains accompany the regular four on to the field for the coin flip. Here's a list of those:
at BYU: Cort Dennison, Nick Montana
vs. Syracuse: Victor Aiyewa, Andrew Hudson
vs. Nebraska: Greg Walker, Josh Shirley
at USC: Chris Robinson, Princeton Fuimaono
vs. Arizona State: Jesse Callier, Micah Hatchie
vs. Oregon State: Victor Aiyewa, Colin Tanigawa
at Arizona: Justin Glenn, Josh Shirley
vs. Stanford: J. Atoe, M. Criste, M. Hatchie, S. Parker, B. Riva, C. Tanigawa

Federal Land Management:
Additional Guidance on Community Involvement Could Enhance Effectiveness of Stewardship Contracting
GAO-04-652: Published: Jun 14, 2004. Publicly Released: Jun 14, 2004.

(202) 512-4800
In their efforts to reduce hazardous fuels and the risk of wildfire on the nation's public lands, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) expect that stewardship contracting will play a major role. Stewardship contracting involves the use of contracting authorities--such as the exchange of goods for services--first authorized in 1998 and intended to help the agencies achieve land management goals that meet community needs. GAO was asked, among other things, to determine (1) the contracting and financial controls the agencies use to ensure accountability in managing stewardship contracting projects and (2) the steps the agencies have taken to involve communities in the projects.
Although the Forest Service provided limited initial guidance on establishing contracting and financial controls, the eight stewardship projects GAO visited had incorporated such controls. (BLM was first granted stewardship authority in 2003 and had no projects under way at the time of GAO's review.) The projects generally used pre- and post-award controls, such as reviews of contractor bids using preestablished criteria, and performance and payment bonds to ensure completion of required activities. GAO's review of selected financial controls at the projects we visited showed that they appeared to have procedures in place to account for retained receipts, including tracking funds received and expended, and had incorporated procedures designed to ensure the completion of specific work tasks before contractors were paid. Both the Forest Service and BLM issued guidance in January 2004 containing such controls for future projects. The Forest Service initially provided minimal guidance on soliciting and incorporating public involvement in stewardship contracting projects and, as a result, the type and extent of efforts to involve communities varied considerably among the projects GAO reviewed. However, managers who did not incorporate public input may have missed valuable opportunities to strengthen their projects. For example, one project manager said that public involvement led to more stringent criteria for protecting water quality, and another reported that public involvement improved agency access to public lands needing fuel reduction. Although most managers GAO spoke with said they wanted additional guidance on public involvement, the Forest Service's recently issued stewardship contracting handbook does not contain specific guidance for obtaining community input--and BLM's recent guidance is similarly lacking. Without such guidance, each project manager must independently determine the type and extent of community involvement to solicit and then develop and implement community involvement procedures--an inefficient process that could lead to variation in community involvement across stewardship contracting projects in both agencies.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: BLM has conducted several national training sessions on stewardship contracting, each including a module on effective collaboration. In addition, BLM supplemented its guidance on stewardship contracting in December 2005, including a brief discussion of community involvement and collaboration. However, BLM's guidance does not provide substantial information that could be used by stewardship project officers as they seek to determine appropriate levels and forms of community involvement, and therefore this recommendation remains open.
Recommendation: To enhance the ability of stewardship contracting projects to meet local needs and improve public trust in the agencies, the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior should direct the agencies to issue additional guidance on community involvement. Such guidance should identify, and encourage the use of, best practices in seeking and incorporating community input, and establish minimum requirements for seeking community involvement on each stewardship contracting project.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Forest Service's primary stewardship contracting official reported that the agency has taken the following steps to address GAO's recommendation: (1) the Forest Service has added collaboration resources to its stewardship contracting Web page, including lessons learned from previous stewardship projects and frequently asked questions on collaboration; (2) the Forest Service has contracted with the Pinchot Institute to provide five 1-day training sessions on collaboration in stewardship contracting--two have taken place, and three more are scheduled for this fiscal year; and (3) the Forest Service is currently preparing additional guidance clarifying the role of collaboration in developing and implementing stewardship projects. On December 12, 2005, this guidance was added to Forest Service Handbook 2409.19, Chapter 60. Because the guidance appears to provide sufficient direction in community involvement, and because the Forest Service has collected information on lessons learned and has arranged for training on community involvement, this recommendation is closed.
Recommendation: To enhance the ability of stewardship contracting projects to meet local needs and improve public trust in the agencies, the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior should direct the agencies to issue additional guidance on community involvement. Such guidance should identify, and encourage the use of, best practices in seeking and incorporating community input, and establish minimum requirements for seeking community involvement on each stewardship contracting project.

New private school opening in Roseville
Open enrollment for the 2013-14 school year for the Hawthorne Academy of Arts and Sciences takes place in late February. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/thehawthorneacademy.
New Year's Eve marked the last day of employment for teachers at the Accelerated Learning Academy in Lincoln and Rocklin, operated by Horizon Charter Schools until the programs abruptly closed.
But for teacher Janel Catalano, and several of her colleagues, the day marked a new beginning. Instead of bemoaning the loss of her job at Accelerated Learning Academy, she focused her attention on another endeavor: the formation of the Hawthorne Academy of Arts and Sciences in Roseville.
"We're taking a closed door and making one open," Catalano said.
The private, nonprofit K-8 school will open in fall 2013, and a high school grade level will be added each of the following four years. The campus is named for American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wrote "The Scarlet Letter."
The group has secured a facility at 333 Sunrise Ave. in a building that previously housed a culinary academy. The building's owner has agreed to build a fenced play yard, Catalano said, and the space already has classrooms, a kitchen and lunchroom.
"Everything is falling into place," she said.
The idea for the school formed as Catalano and a fellow teacher lamented the end of the education offered at the Accelerated Learning Academy. They wanted to continue the program, but outside of what they considered the binds of the public school system.
The Hawthorne Academy will provide advanced project-based, literature-rich learning opportunities in all content areas, according to its founders. Students in all grade levels will learn a foreign language on a daily basis and Fridays will be filled with enrichment classes in arts and sciences such as guitar, engineering drama and more.
The majority of the staff — displaced Horizon teachers — has been hired. The founders have budgeted for fewer than 20 students per class.
"We're going to make this a small school," Catalano said. "Parents seem to really appreciate that and sometimes that's difficult to get in a public school setting."

Green is Universal and so is Social Media for NBC San Diego @nbcsandiego
This post is a hat tip to NBC San Diego! Time flies with social media! I can't believe it's been almost four years since I wrote the blog post Traditional Media Companies- It's time to Go Digital. I discussed strategies that traditional media companies (TV, Radio, Newspapers) could to use to engage their audience online. A lot has happened in four years and I'm thrilled to see that so many traditional media companies have successfully integrated social media into their communication. I'd like to commend NBC San Diego for being one of the pioneer companies to truly embrace social media and go digital. Just a few of the things NBC San Diego does:
- The people on the NBC San Diego are extremely social media savvy. The majority of them all have their own online presence and following. I've built personal relationships with many people on their team through conversations on Facebook and Twitter because they do a great job at interacting.
- @nbcsandiego hosts tweetups for their community to meet the team. This personalizes the online and on-air experience viewers have.
- They feature Social Media and Tech Correspondents on their news casts where they discuss the latest trends in technology. This also means they care about making sure their viewers can stay up to date with digital trends.
- In addition to being leaders in the tech space, they're also a green friendly company! Check out this reusable water bottle I won from none other than one of their tweetups (See tip 1)!
To celebrate Earth Day last week, I shared 12 ways to go green at work! As I do with all of my posts, I shared this across my social networks. NBC San Diego was highlighting green week on Friday April 20th in honor of Earth Day and their Producer @JanellJay saw my tweet about ideas to go green at work. She tweeted me to ask if they could use it on their green segment that evening. "Of course!" I replied. Many of my posts are intended to be resources so I am very grateful to NBC San Diego for sharing my tips with all their viewers. What I loved about this entire interaction is that Janell was carefully watching her tweet stream to find content for their show! You can view the segment below:
Thank you again to all my friends at NBC San Diego for greening their workplace, connecting on social media and creating a community of viewers who really do trust NBC San Diego as one of the most credible and resourceful TV stations. And if anyone has any additional tips on how to go green at work, please feel free to share them with me!
Social Media and Yoga Unite at @TadasanaFest Yoga & Music Festival #Tadasana
Most of you already know that while Marketing is my expertise, Yoga is my passion. Yoga has really touched me in all areas of my life and I definitely want to share and inspire others through yoga. I was grateful when I completed my Yoga Teacher's Training at the beginning of 2011. Since then, yoga has become an even bigger part of my life. It's such an honor to be able to integrate yoga into my career and I'll continue to do so as I move forward. I've been able to teach yoga to busy professionals like myself by hosting yoga classes and workshops, Yoga for the Busy Body. I also have had the honor to teach classes through Forward Motion and at La Jolla Yoga Center.
This past weekend, through the power of Social Media, I was graced with the opportunity to attend the first annual Tadasana Yoga & Music Festival in Santa Monica. From VIP experiences at the @Padres games to satisfying the foodie in me at the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival, it never ceases to amaze me how I keep receiving opportunities through social media. My friend and fellow yogi @VeronicaRaye won a 3 day pass through Twitter. She then heard about a Facebook contest through Manifestation Yoga and encouraged me to enter. The requirements were to upload a photo of yourself on their Facebook page, and share what Tadasana means to you. The person with the most LIKES on their photo would win a 3 day pass ($295 value!). I typically don't like to solicit people for LIKES to win something. I believe that posting good content is the best way to earn a "LIKE". However I decided to enter the contest since it was a way for me to share my love of yoga with others.
What Tadasana means to me: "Tadasana to me means a strong foundation for the rest of my practice. It provides me with stability, strength and helps me become more centered". Thanks to the support of my friends and community my photo received the most LIKES and I WON! Winning post below!
I always say there is an abundance of yoga available for anyone who wants to practice. This once again proved true because my friends over at YourBuddhi were also hosting a contest on their blog. I entered that contest as well and ended up winning 2 additional 1 day passes that I was able to pass along to friends who wanted to check out the festival.
I've planned many events myself and all I can say is planning an event, whether large or small is a lot of work! I have a high level of respect for Event Producers. Not only is there an immense amount of behind the scenes work that takes place, there's also the pressure of marketing the event and getting people to attend. Social Media has created a whole new job for Event Producers and that's to really create buzz and spread the word before the event even happens. I was really happy to see Tadasana Festival taking advantages of Twitter and Facebook before the event. #Tadasana was definitely a trending topic in Santa Monica that weekend! You can find more tips on integrating Social Media with your event planning here. And here are some of my favorite highlights and photos of the event. The rest of my photos from Tadasana Festival can be viewed here.
The festival happened a week ago but I'm still inspired! I listened to so may great musicians, learned new yoga techniques and challenged myself mentally by learning new things from the speakers. I also connected with so many amazing people from all walks of life who all share a common love for yoga. I have plans to integrate more elements of yoga into my career which will include creating marketing and social media opportunities for yoga related businesses, teaching more yoga classes and hosting more yoga workshops.
A Word with the Marketing Nerd @stef_funny (Instagram Buzz)
<Editor's Note> I'm very excited to have Stephanie Trinh aka @stef_funny on my team here at Marketing Melodie. She's an ambitious Business Marketing Student at SDSU, is filled with positive energy and is even a fellow marketing nerd! I'll let Stephanie take it from here. HIT IT STEPHANIE! </Editor's Note>
With all the hype going on about Instagram, I've decided to write a little bit about this mobile app. Instagram is a free photo sharing application that allows users to take photos, apply a digital filter to the photos, and then share the photos with friends and followers. This app was originally available only for the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch when it launched. Two years later, in April 2012, it became available on Android. There were over a million downloads of the Instagram app when it was finally released on the Android system. A few days after that, Facebook acquired Instagram and its 13 employees for $1 billion in cash and stock. Amazing how quickly things change in the digital world, wouldn't you agree?
Being that Instagram launched in October 2010, now has over 25 million users and is known as one of the most popular mobile-only social networks, why would businesses not consider playing a role on Instagram? You can post fun altered photos of your products and begin a hashtag trend for your followers. Starbucks has already jumped on the wagon and has over 400,000 followers. The point of Instagram is to share photos, so as a business you can share photos of things that relate to your brand personality or just great mobile photos of your products – be creative! Another awesome thing about Instagram is that you are also able to share your photos on Facebook and Twitter. The more social networks the better!
Here are 3 main reasons why your business should join Instagram:
1. Most people are very visual- Instagram is great because it gives us the opportunity to share fun photos of our daily lives. How interesting would it be to your fans to follow unique photos of your business's life? You can show how much fun you have in the workplace and even take little "sneak peek" photos and have your followers figure out what the photo is. Keep them engaged, that's why they're following you! Just remember to keep in mind that Instagrammers don't want to see product photography, but more artistic photography that's been filtered.
2. There are millions of users using this app- The digital world is making changes all the time, just make sure you are caught up with the newest fad and stay in the loop. After Instagram became available on the Android, there were millions of downloads through the Android system, that pretty much means that Instagram is sort of a big deal.
3. You can create fun contests- With the usage of hashtags, it makes it easy to track and create contests. Have your fans post a creative photo with a certain hashtag that represents your products or services and give out fun prizes. The more interactive your consumers are, the more they begin to feel like "family" to your brand.

Celebrate Earth Day with 12 Ways to Go Green at Work!
At Marketing Melodie we are proud to run a business that promotes environmental sustainability. We recycle, reduce, reuse and practice many greening efforts in all areas of our business. To celebrate Earth Day 2012, here are 12 ways to go green at work. Whether you're an entrepreneur, sole proprietor, work for a large corporation or own a small business you can help create a greener workplace!
1. Bring your own waterbottle/mug– Many offices offer a water and coffee station. Along with the drink stations come plastic cups that are often used once and tossed. To reduce carbon footprint with your beverage consumption, bring your own reusable water bottle and coffee mug. Leave these in the office so you remember to use them.
2. Place plants on your desk and around the office– In addition livening up your space, plants help absorb indoor pollution. Some plants that are easy to maintain and do well in an indoor setting include: air plants, cactus, aloe, spider plants and jade.
3. Turn off electronics at night– Turn off your computer and other electronics at night and unplug the adapter. Even an idle adapter draws energy. If you work at a large company with hundreds of computers, think of how much energy this will save.
4. Encourage natural light– Design your work space to take advantage of natural light. Don't cover up large windows or face your desk in the opposite direction of natural light. This will eliminate your need to use a desk lamp during the day.
5. Reduce paper usage- The greenest paper is no paper at all, so keep things digital whenever possible. Evernote is a great tool that allows you to file things electronically. You can also save any documents from your computer you need to file as a PDF and file it directly on your computer. If you have to print something that's more than one page, make sure to print on both sides.
6. Electronic billing– Switch your billing statements from paper to electronic. Who likes to get bills in the mail anyway? Getting billing statements online is also more efficient since you get notified as soon as the bill is ready as opposed to having to wait for the post man to arrive.
7. Eco friendly business cards– Business cards are still very relevant in our digital age. You won't go to a networking event without having people ask you for your card. It's also a quick way to exchange information. There are various resources you can use to have an electronic business card such as uME. However, it's often still relevant to carry around a paper business card. In this case, there are many options for printing your business cards on recycled paper. Moo Cards allows you to choose their "Green" printing when creating your cards.
8. Make your recycling bins larger than your trashcans– In most offices, there are many large trashcans and a few smaller bins for recycling. This should be reversed. In reality, many of the items you're throwing away can be recycled but because the recycling bins are usually full, we end up throwing away recyclables out of convenience.
9. Use motion detectors to control lighting – This is a great tip if you have a storage room, copy room and other rooms that are used but not occupied during the entire day.
10. Reuse paper– It's amazing how many sheets of paper are printed out for drafts then get thrown away as soon as the final document is printed out. Turn the piece of paper to it's other side (if it's not printed on both sides) cut it up into fourths an use it as scratch paper for notes, messages, etc. This is an eco friendly alternative for people who use a lot of post it notes.
11. Recycle electronics– Items such as old electronics, batteries and light bulbs are often thrown away in the trash due to the inconvenience and cost it takes to recycle. However, there are free electronics recycling events that happen across the nation. It takes a little research and planning to find the upcoming and closest event but it's really not too much of a hassle considering how hazardous throwing away electronics is. San Diego has free electronics recycling events through Recycle San Diego. Many Ikea stores accept old light bulbs.
12. Donate usable office items– Earth Day is also a great time to do some spring cleaning. What items are laying around in your office and desk that you no longer use? Gather up all these items, ask your co workers to do the same and then donate them to your local charity. Reducing clutter creates a cleaner and clearer environment which allows more fresh air to flow through your work space.
These tips are simple! They just require small changes which make a big difference. Once again, Happy Earth Day and please share if you have additional tips on how to go green at work!

Asparagus is another one of those vegetables… people either love it or hate it.
As much as I don't want to admit it, I was in the latter category for many, many years. That is, until I learned how to cook it properly! But what else could change someone's mind about eating it, especially if you know how to cook it well, but still don't seem to like it? That's a great question, and I'm so glad you asked!
Let's refer to the default Paleo response for this one: add bacon! Okay, okay, that's not really our default response, although I'm sure the rest of the world is convinced otherwise. We love our veggies, too, hence this recipe! (But seriously, folks… bacon can never be a wrong decision.)
But wrapping a fresh green spear in a salty slice of bacon's close Italian cousin, prosciutto… oh man. This is the motherload of all meat-veggie duos. It creates a crispy, savory, mouthwatering appetizer or side dish that will have just about anyone reaching for more! Be prepared to double or even triple this recipe, especially if more than two people will be eating it!
It's so simple to make that it will blow your mind… 10 minutes is really all it should take, as long as you've got your ingredients on hand and your Super Paleo Chef Cape donned! Ready? Here's what you need to do…
Break off the tough, woody stems of your spears. If you've never done this before, there's nothing special to it – just grab the spears toward the fatter end part… and snap 'em. They'll naturally break where the woody part starts.
Now put them on a baking sheet, drizzle with some olive oil, give it a couple 'o shakes of salt and pepper, and roll the spears around to coat them in all that loveliness.
Cut your pack of prosciutto slices in half lengthwise. You don't need a whole slice for one spear, that's just overkill.
Next, wrap each half-slice around it's own spear, starting from the tippy-top and going down toward the fat part. It won't cover the whole spear, but that's okay; we're just aiming to cover the middle portion. As you're wrapping, try to overlap the edges of the prosciutto slices a little bit.
Arrange your spears in a nice, neat single layer on your baking sheet. Spread them out so they have pleeeenty of room to get crispy! Broil for 3 minutes, turn them over, and broil for another 3 minutes.
That's it. Now get ready for all your
easy hard work to begin its next magic act… when they all disappear from the plate!
Share your thoughts… what were your feelings about asparagus, before and after trying out this delicious recipe?
- 12 -16 asparagus spears
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Sea salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 - 8 slices of thinly-sliced prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
- Arrange oven rack to about 5 to 6 inches below the top broiler. Heat the oven to broil.
- Snap asparagus spears at their natural ends; discard woody parts.
- Lay spears in a single layer on a medium or large rimmed baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gently shimmy the pan back and forth to coat the spears (or just use your hands to roll them around).
- While still in their plastic liners, cut the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise with a pair of kitchen shears.
- Using just one half-slice per spear, carefully wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus in a downward spiral fashion, from just under the tip going toward the bottom part. Overlap the prosciutto ever so slightly as you do this.
- As you finish wrapping each spear, arrange them on the baking sheet so that they're as far apart as possible while cooking (not touching at all).
- Broil for 3 minutes, and remove pan from oven.
- Turn the spears over so the other side can cook, and return to oven to broil for 3 more minutes.
- Serve immediately!

Dear Iowa State Student and Cyclone Fan,
I want to say "THANK YOU!" for your awesome support of the Cyclones on Saturday vs. Iowa. I cannot tell you just how important your presence at our basketball games is to our team and to me. The student body, Cyclone Alley and the Cyclone fans have been just incredible!
I want to pass along well wishes as you complete your final exams and finish this semester. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and safe travels to and from home.
As you know, we have been struggling through a series of misfortunes that have impacted our team in a number of ways. The injury bug has bitten us pretty hard (Jiri - broken ankle, Rahshon - tendonitis in his knee, Wesley - serious joint capsule injury in his ankle) and the ongoing eligibility issue with Lucca have hurt us not only in games, but also in our preparation. We have had almost 50 practices to date. We have yet to have had an entire practice with everyone healthy to participate. Although we play shorthanded at times, our goal is that we will not lack effort, hustle and enthusiasm. I want our team to demonstrate the same "PASSION" that you, our student body, demonstrates every game.
As I have said in the past and still feel this way; I love being the men's head basketball coach at Iowa State University. Being a Cyclone is as exciting as I had hoped and dreamed it would be. I am proud to be representing ISU, our alums, fans and especially you, the students. The friendships, camaraderie and the entire experience of college life is such a special time. I want Cyclone Basketball to be one of your special memories as you pass through Iowa State.
I want to thank you again for your past support and invite you to continue to support the Cyclones as we finish our non-conference schedule and head into the Big 12 part of our season.
I hope to see you at Hilton!
Go Cyclones!
Greg McDermott
Head Men's Basketball Coach
Iowa State University
Thats awesome. What a great coach he is on and off the court.
That is great!!!!
Just in case you didn't know... I'm a girl.
Bravo to Coach Mac. I truly believe that if we had our team at 100 percent (injury-free and with Lucca), we'd be miles ahead of where we are now. And I'm confident that at this time next year, barring any more major injuries, we'll all be much more excited about where this program is headed.
I was just about to post that, McDermott is such a great guy, and an incredible coach, despite what way too many armchair point guards tend to believe recently
Thank you for posting that - it is great for us Alums to see that McD is really invested in the program and puts a great deal of emphasis on you students!
He's a high class coach, I don't think we could've done any better by bringing anyone else to ISU, I have complete faith he's going to leave a legacy just as or perhaps even stronger than Johnny Orr's.
Fire him. He's a liar.
Im surprised he didnt mention please refrain from yelling "clap, clap, clap, clap, clap U SUCK! " Or the "We're gonna beat the fudge outta you, and you and you and you n you n you!"
Class act, I hope he is here for the current students to be long term NCC members and season ticket holders because of stuff like this.
That's cool...
Is this for real? I think I like it, but it seems odd to point out the obvious about injury's and Lucca?

Yes, it's real... Why would someone forge a letter from Mac to students just to try and trick the good folks on CF?
Anyway, the majority of students are unaware of all the troubles the team is having, so it's good that he informed them. Not everyone is as hopelessly addicted to sports message boards as we are!
True and Valiant
I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

Victory before honor.
with chizik,mcdermott,fennelly,and sanderson I don't think there is a classier group of coaches at any other school in the country.
Why do I not get these emails? My student loans say I attend ISU and I have basketball tickets. Anybody have an explaination?

You Can Afford a College Education
As one of the largest investments an individual will make, it is important for students to have all the information necessary for making a decision regarding their financial aid at Bryant & Stratton College.
Your decision to attend college shouldn't be driven by your ability to pay for school but by your interest in the degree program you wish to pursue. Bryant & Stratton College is here to help identify and determine how students can pay for their educational expenses. By participating in a number of financial assistance programs such as scholarships, state and federal grant funding and the utilization of student loans, Bryant & Stratton College's Financial Aid department is here to help determine the best course of action for affording your education.
The financial aid department at Bryant & Stratton College offers a number of different financing options that include the use of the FAFSA application for the Federal Pell Grant, the utilization of additional state funding grants, qualifying scholarships and also student loans.
All students will work with a personal academic advisor as part of our commitment to creating a personalized environment from enrollment right on through to graduation. Our financial aid advisors will help to identify which financial aid options are available for you to use and which combination of those funds are the best for you to utilize. Your personal financial aid advisor will guide you through the process of completing a FAFSA form along with applying for any other resources that you may be eligible to receive.
Determining the best course of action for paying for school is the primary goal of our financial aid staff. Our advisors will work with you to determine the resources your eligible to receive and how they will aid in paying for school. It's part of our commitment to your success, because we want our students to be focused on their education and not how they're going to pay for it.

National News
HOUSTON, TEXAS—Lone Star Community College in Houston was the scene of a shooting Tuesday afternoon. At least three people, including one gunman were reported to have been severely wounded and are currently undergoing surgery, according to initial reports.
The campus was placed on immediate lock down, according to Campus Spokesman Jed young, following the reports of the shooter.
Details are unclear at this time, but the shooting may have been over an unknown dispute that took place in the school library, where the involved parties may have fired upon each other.
In addition to Lone Star, several other school facilities in the district also went into lock down. Authorities believe there may be a second shooter and there is currently a manhunt to find them.
A person of interest has already been taken into custody, according to Harris County Sheriff's Maj. Armando Tello.

High-tech serveillance of employees can be full of expensive surprises
by Fred Williams
Fred Williams has been of counsel with James, McElroy & Diehl PA since 2004, when he retired after 38 years with several federal agencies, including an assistant U.S. attorney in Charlotte. At JMD, he has represented and counseled persons involved in criminal and civil matters relating to electronic surveillance, computer intrusions and searches, copyright, trade secret and trademark. He is an adjunct professor in the College of Computing and Informatics at UNC Charlotte.
You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.
Sun MicroSystems CEO Scott McNealy, during a January 1999 press conference.
Technology is rapidly eroding privacy. Surveillance that was impossible, impractical or difficult a generation ago is cheap and easy today. Even the technically challenged can read anothers emails, hide a microphone or video camera, track anothers car precisely and continuously, and record phone calls. It is so cheap and easy that many do it impulsively, without thinking. But be careful about launching surveillance, impulsively or otherwise. There are risks that will be addressed in this article. But this entry cant answer all questions or give legal advice. You should consult with your attorney before doing any surveillance that you would not want someone to do to you or to someone with a thin skin.
We live in interesting, risky times. What one does impulsively because its so easy may cause horrific problems, including prison, large damages, loss of reputation, employee turnover and hostility toward management. Legislators, judges and juries have a hard time keeping up with technology. Public attitudes toward technological changes that affect privacy often are wildly inconsistent. A small difference may swing them from acceptance to extreme hostility.
Federal and state laws criminalize secret acquisition of communications in certain circumstances and with few exceptions most importantly, the consent of a party to the communication. This includes spoken words grabbed by a hidden microphone, phone conversations, emails and other electronic communications. The circumstances and exceptions that determine if a violation has occurred are often hypertechnical both legally and in terms of the technology used.
The legal distinctions are often counter-intuitive judges have said they are very difficult to understand. Major industry players (Microsoft and Google, for example) as well as civil-liberties advocates have formed a coalition proposing simplification and strengthening of relevant laws. Check it out at digitaldueprocess.org.
Heres how complicated it can get: If you poured your heart and deepest secrets into a letter, and your worst enemy stole it from a mail truck, would you care whether the truck was stopped at a red light or moving down the street? Should a sensible law draw that line? Most courts have said that it isnt a wiretap violation if an email is not moving when it is acquired. The 1st Circuit held it can be a violation if its grabbed while in RAM for a few nanoseconds but not in storage on a hard drive. The 7th Circuit recently expressed disagreement, then withdrew that observation.
Bug. There was a time that it required sophisticated, expensive devices to bug a conversation. Now the world is full of devices with built-in recording capabilities smartphones, laptop or netbook computers, iPads and similar devices. It is easy to place one on a table, with it secretly recording, and leave it there. Unless a participant in the conversation knows about the bug and consents to it, this is almost certainly a wiretap violation.
If the only person who knows that it is recording leaves the room, it becomes an illegal wiretap. What may be most surprising is that it is a criminal violation to disclose or use the recording, even to present it in court.
Cell phone. Suppose you pick up someones cellphone and obtain information from it contents of text messages, pictures, records of calls, locations the phone has been taken to and some of the other information the device receives, obtains and stores. Is this a wiretap? Probably not, unless the information is in transit a technically difficult issue. When you push a button, do you know where the information is coming from the phone or some distant server?
Is this criminal hacking? If there is no authorization, it is probably a violation of the broadest federal hacking statute: 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2). This statute only requires: (a) access to a computer, (b) without or in excess of authorization and (c) obtaining information.
Is a cellphone a computer? Sure. Its a device performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions. The 8th Circuit recently ruled that a cellphone met that definition. I worked with some of the biggest computers in the state in the mid-1960s and believe that none had the computing power of the average cellphone of today. Arguably a thumb drive also meets the definition, as well as increasing numbers of mundane appliances. Do you have to copy the information or do something with it in order to violate this statute? No. The legislative history and case law says that just looking at the information on the screen is enough for a violation.
Email. Most emails go to something like firstname.lastname@example.com. Company.com is a computer connected to the Internet. Suppose one partner of a small startup helped another partner set up a gmail account some years ago. Eventually there is a falling out, and the one accesses the others account because she has not changed her username or password.
Is this a wiretap? Not likely under the interpretation of most courts. The emails were probably accessed while stored on a hard drive. But is it a 1030 violation? If done without or in excess of authorization, yes. If the owner of the account impliedly permitted the partner to access it when relations were good, can you reasonably say that consent continued after a bitter falling out?
But what is in excess of authorization? When an employee uses the office system to check on a sports score or email his kids? The courts are all over the place. Some take a narrow approach, others read the statute to criminalize conduct where the employee is accessing information for his own purpose. The most extreme case was the federal indictment and trial of a woman for accessing a social-media site using a pseudonym when the sites terms of use required use of the users true name. How many people read the terms of use of every website they visit? Is everyone a federal criminal?
Employers often wiretap employee emails and access their computers. Is this with consent and authorization? Last summer, the U.S. Supreme Court assumed that if a senior manager says something inconsistent with the written policy statements, it created a reasonable expectation of privacy contrary to the formal policy. Similarly, the New Jersey Supreme Court recently held that what I would think was a minor difference within the policy gave the former employee a privacy right in files left on the company laptop when she turned it in after quitting. That same case held the companys lawyers violated ethical rules by using the files so obtained.
To be safe, employee surveillance should be clearly disclosed in the employee handbook, computer log-on banner, etc. Carefully written policies should say that you have no privacy from management on anything you do on the computers or identify the aspect of the work environment that will be monitored or whatever compromise you choose. All managers need to adhere to the policies as formally written when asked about surveillance preferably by simply referring to them.
Where are we going? Who knows? But be careful doing anything a jury can get mad about. The courts may let something that seems perfectly legal at the time result in large damages or maybe even prison.

Baseball Edges Eastern Illinois, 16-15
April 19, 2005
Chicago, Ill. - University of Illinois at Chicago senior third baseman Bryan Russo broke a 13-all tie in the bottom of the seventh inning with a solo home run, his second blast of the evening, as the Flames staved off a late Eastern Illinois rally, picking up the 16-15 non-conference victory in a slugfest over the Panthers at Les Miller Field on Tuesday night.
For the evening, Russo went 2-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored. Those two home runs, tied a Les Miller Field record.
Junior designated hitter Ted Rosinski was equally as impressive, going 3-for-3 with a homer, four runs scored and two RBI, while teammate Bart Babineaux went 3-for-4 with two runs and a RBI.
With the victory, UIC improves to 18-14-1 overall, while the Panthers fall to 9-25 on the campaign.
Sophomore reliever Zach Peterson (5-1) earned the victory for the Flames, allowing two runs and five hits in two innings pitched, while fanning two batters. Sophomore Ryan Zink earned his first save of the season, allowing one hit and striking out two, in 1.1 innings pitched.
Eastern Illinois reliever Brian Long (0-2) was tagged with the loss, allowing four runs and five hits in 4.2 innings of work.
The Panthers were equally as potent at the plate, pounding out four home runs and 24 hits off of UIC pitching. EIU left fielder Keiji Szalo led the charge with two, two-run homers, followed by both center fielder Erik Huber (5-for-6, 4 RBI, 2 runs), designated hitter Jason Cobb (solo homer) and shortstop Jon Hickey (4-for-4, 5 runs, RBI).
Following Russo's one-out, blast in the seventh, the Flames tacked on two more runs behind a RBI single from junior catcher Bryan Nolte (1-for-3, RBI, run) and a throwing error on EIU second baseman Mike Astrouski, extending UIC's advantage to 16-13.
The Panthers, however, would not go away quietly, as Hickey plated catcher Kevin Carkeek from second base on a single off of Peterson, and advanced to second base on the throw home, narrowing the Flames' lead to 16-14. Peterson fanned EIU rightfielder Mark Chagnon, bringing Huber to the plate.
Huber connected for a RBI single, scoring Hickey, cutting UIC's lead to 16-15 and forcing Peterson from the game.
UIC Head Coach Mike Dee brought in Zink, who gave up a single to third baseman Ryan Campbell, putting runners at the corners for Cobb.
Zink, however, caught Cobb looking for the final out of the frame and retired the side in the ninth to secure the win and the save.
UIC will be back in action on Wednesday night, as the Flames will host Northern Illinois for a non-conference showdown at Les Miller Field, beginning at 7:05 p.m. (CST).

Retail Credit Cards can become a huge problem for those who find it difficult to just say no to the "Get 10-percent off your purchase today" sales tactic. Remember credit card companies are in business to make money, and the whole point of a retail credit card program is to get you to spend more money at a particular store.
There's a good chance that a retail card will carry a very high interest rate and other penalties the cashier won't tell you about though. So think twice the next time you are tempted to accept a retail credit card offer to save a few bucks on your purchase. It might not be worth it.
Consumers should avoid signing up for any credit card, especially retail cards, on the spot. Certain cards may be a good deal for your personal situation, but take the time to do some credit card comparison shopping online and read the terms and conditions first.
Ask yourself why you need another retail credit card and bill to remember to pay each month? If you make a premature decision without answering these questions, unexpected late fees and high interest rates may wipe out any savings you received for just signing up.

When we Indians are starved of things to feel proud about, the appointment of Satya Nadella as the CEO of the iconic Microsoft has give us a reason to take pride in the success of a fellow Indian.
Not only is Satya Indian by birth, he went to ordinary schools and colleges, got to the top on his own merit and, most of all, remained a nice, normal and humble guy. We can relate to Satya and his journey in a way that we can't relate to, say, Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, and that's what is so inspiring. In his success, we see the possibility of our own success. At a time where young people are looking for role models to emulate, Satya is certainly a wonderful one.
