Hollywood comes to Marion County
Wed, 28 May 2014 03:22:59 GMT —
MarVista Entertainment is filming two movies in Marion and Mullins, according to Marion County Economic Development Commission Director Julie Norman.
Production crews were set up Tuesday at a historic home on Oakenwald Avenue near downtown Marion.
Norman said the movies are called "Wishing Outloud" and "Twelve Dog Days of Christmas".
She added "Wishing Outloud" features Julia Duffey, Calum Worthy, Detrick Bader and Lexi Giovagnoli.
According to Norman, "Twelve Dog Days of Christmas" stars Reginald Veljohnson and Graine McDermott.
Production crews have been in Marion County for the past two months.
Norman said they filmed a party scene for one of the movies at Mullins High School. Some of the students will appear in the movie as extras.
She added for the school's willingness to work with movie crews, the production company picked up the tab for Mullins High School prom decorations.
Norman said the movies are an economic boost for the county because production teams are staying in the county, shopping and eating at restaurants. She added dozens of people are coming to the area to meet the celebrities in the films.
It is not known how the movies will be distributed or when they'll come out.

Three alerts and two reminders will be programmed:
Detailed Description:
After receiving a standardized education module based on NAEPP guidelines, 12 primary care pediatric practices (both urban and suburban sites) will be randomized to receive either a passive EHR (control sites) or an interactive decision support system (intervention sites).
The primary outcome of interest will be the proportion of patients on appropriate asthma controller medication compared over time. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of asthma patients with: 1) an updated asthma action plan 2) documentation of spirometry performed (6 to 17 yrs) and 3) an updated problem list reflecting current asthma severity. After hours calls to providers and types of office visits related to asthma will be tracked. 4) In addition, measurement of asthma-related quality of life and missed school and work in a sample of 200 subjects from each group will be performed. Contextual factors at the clinic and patient level will be examined to assess their association with outcomes of interest.
If shown to be successful, this type of clinical decision support, embedded within the EHR, has the potential to be a powerful tool to improve the implementation of asthma guidelines and clinical practice guidelines for other conditions and illnesses in the primary setting.

Spying On Surfing: Why We Need a "Do Not Track" List
The new model of Internet advertising scares the heck out of us. It's called behavioral targeting. What that amounts to, in a nutshell, is following you around the web from site to site recording your movements and using that record to sell you personalized ads. All those ads that pop up on the side of articles on your favorite websites like ESPN.com or NYTimes.com are often not provided by those sites, they are from third parties that you've never heard of, with names like Lotame Solutions Inc. Using a variety of techniques, those companies are tracking where you go throughout the web.
Some advertisers like this because they can charge a premium for this personalization. For example, when someone visits an automotive website, knowing his or her income level allows the advertiser will know whether to highlight a Subaru or a Range Rover. According to one online advertising CEO's statement "[m]oving from site-targeting to people-targeting is the central dynamic of the industry". But the inevitable byproduct of all of this tracking is the creation of an extremely detailed profile on all of us — what we read, what we do and where we go online. And this information is not anonymous. Using clues — from pages we log into or visits to our profiles on social networking sites — we reveal our identity.
Worst of all, these online profiles do not stay with the advertisers. They are merged with "offline content," namely the information that advertisers, background check companies and data aggregators have been collecting on us for years. All of these companies have contracts with employers and the government. One company boasts it's "the silent partner to municipal, county, state, and federal justice agencies who access our databases every day to locate subjects, develop background information, secure information from a cellular or unlisted number, and much more."
To boil it down: private companies are tracking all our movements online, selling that information to other companies who in turn share it with law enforcement and the government.
As this practice spreads, the chilling effect on our First and Fourth Amendment rights will be immense.
So what do we do about it? We have to break this new surveillance model at the source — with the advertisers who are collecting all this information. One of the best ways to do that is to give everyone a universal way to opt-out of tracking, specifically a "Do Not Track" list. Modeled on the popular "Do Not Call" registry, people would visit a central site overseen by the government where they could register their desire not to have their online movements tracked. While a number of technical details have to be worked out, such a mechanism represents the best way to short-circuit this new type of private spying before it can forever alter the Internet and our freedoms.

Apple Mac mini Review (Mid 2010)by Anand Lal Shimpi on August 9, 2010 3:37 AM EST
Styling and Use
The mini's design is cohesive with the rest of Apple's lineup. The unibody aluminum construction is less functional in a stationary desktop compared to a notebook that has to be rugged, but it's nice to look at nonetheless.
At the front of the Mac mini is the opening for the internal slot loading 8x SuperDrive. The drive can write to DVD±R discs as well as dual layer variants. DVD±RWs and CD-R/RWs are also supported. There's no option for a Blu-ray drive.
Like all Macs, there's no eject button - for that you'll need an Apple keyboard (not included). There are actually no input devices included in the purchase price, so expect to add another $120 if you want an Apple keyboard and Magic Mouse ($140 if you want them to both be wireless). There's no remote included either, although Apple's IR remotes do work with the mini.
The power button is around back, as well as the power connector. The power supply is internal so all you have on the outside is a single white cable with no power brick.
Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800 and four USB 2.0 ports line the rear along with the miniDP and HDMI outputs I mentioned earlier. A new addition is the SDXC slot on the back.
The mini has a single internal speaker but you also get digital/analog 1/8" line in and line out jacks. If you've got an iPhone headset, just plug it into the headphone minijack and you'll get both headphone and mic functionality.
The Mac mini ships with 802.11a/b/g/n support but has no external WiFi antenna. The antenna is located in the base of the unit, directly underneath the removable access cover.
The internal antenna behaves virtually identically to a notebook's WiFi. In fact, I got very similar WiFi performance out of the Mac mini as I did with this year's MacBook Pro. With a good access point, getting reception at around 60 feet away through walls in a house wasn't a problem.
The only issue I had with the Mac mini's WiFi was when I placed the unit in my theater room. The theater is enclosed in two layers of drywall and has a small closet with a metal equipment rack in it. With the mini in the middle of the equipment rack, surrounded by amps and a pre-processor, I couldn't get more than 1.2MB/s to the nearest access point which was less than 30 feet away but outside of the room. While that's still enough bandwidth for surfing the web, it's not enough to stream HD video from a networked file server.
I wouldn't fault the Mac mini's WiFi however. I was simply asking too much of it. But keep this in mind if you don't have ethernet running to a similar setup. Thankfully, I do have ethernet going to the rack and thus it wasn't an issue.
The mini's design looks great until you start hooking a bunch of cables up to it. Despite the four USB ports, you'll want to use Bluetooth peripherals where possible. In an HTPC setting where all you need is a HDMI cable and Bluetooth input devices the setup is very clean.

Tros - Monday, August 09, 2010 - link1) NVidia chipset laptops are hard to find. I imagine this is something like when AMD-powered Dell machines were non-existent.
2) Compare it and realize what? Power consumption on the Mac-mini is already lower than it's low-voltage netbook counterpart. Would you compare a T8600 to a T8600?
And yeah, the initial cost is a lot more. But have you considered the cost over time? Even if the ION system was cheaper, the cost-over-time curve has a higher slope because of power consumption and build quality. The Mac-Mini is the better investment for the long-run. Well, unless you replace your HTPC every year, but who has that kind of money? Reply
jihe - Tuesday, August 10, 2010 - link1) NVidia chipset laptops are everywhere.

If you are not in the market for such a machine, fine, but don't pretend you're making deep philosophical points by ignoring this issue.
I don't give a damn about motorbikes. The difference between you and me is that I don't feel a compulsive need to read articles on motorbikes and then offer up my opinion on devices that I have never owned and will never own.
20% or so of the US market feels the overall value of Apple products, from the OS to the generally higher reliability to the much better resale value (or, if you prefer, longer usable lifetime) make them worth buying. If you're not in that group, fine, but is your life really so empty that, rather than going door to door asking people if they have heard the word of god, you feel a need to engage in the equivalent behavior wrt a commercial purchase? "Excuse me, ma'am, but have you heard the words of Bill Gates, and how they can save your dollars and the dollars of your loved ones?" Reply

Legion plans for membership growth
Fifty years ago, The American Legion's National Membership & Post Activities (M&PA) Committee questioned why the Legion continued to suffer an annual decrease in membership when 20 million veterans were eligible to belong to the world's largest veterans organization. The M&PA Committee did not want to accept that only 12 percent of eligible veterans were Legion members, so they sought a solution – they asked individual Legion departments to develop a membership plan that would encourage a culture of growth and membership sustainment for another 50 years.
"History repeats itself," said National Adjutant Daniel S. Wheeler to attendees at the 50th annual National Membership Workshop in Indianapolis on Aug. 2. "So here we are, years later, facing the same problems and having the same mission."
Wheeler shared with attendees the problems that the M&PA committee identified in 1964, which still hold true today. They include a smaller number of eligible veterans, lack of post activity and participation in the community, fewer posts in cities and communities nationwide, and the need for a stronger leadership program. As a result of the committee's findings and the call to action for a membership plan, the Legion experienced a decade of continued growth because "they recognized the problems, and they had a plan to overcome them," Wheeler said. "Departments need to work their membership plan sincerely, positively and enthusiastically. And I'm confident that when we meet again next year, you will have stopped the slide in membership and started the climb. And it starts with each one of us setting the example of being participants, not just spectators."
A new American Legion recruitment video was shown to Legionnaires that features ways to engage new members and explain how the Legion supports veterans, military personnel and their families. Peter Gaytan, executive director of the Legion's Washington office, reiterated that "you want to be able to explain to potential members the great things that we do and accomplish due to our membership numbers," he said. "Because of your dedication to this organization, you give the Legion the strength it has in D.C.; you understand what it means to be part of something bigger than you. And now, we want to attract those new members who are just as passionate about what we do and the things that we accomplish for America's veterans now."
Gaytan highlighted two topics for Legionnaires to promote:
• Claims backlog. The American Legion is helping to reduce the backlog by working with VA to interview claims processors, review claims files and identify best practices at each VA regional office. Additionally, more than 2,600 Legion service officers are filing claims for veterans and helping them receive their benefits in a timely manner.
• Licensing and credentialing. The Legion has been lobbying on licensing and credentialing for 15 years, pushing for legislation that would allow military training and skills to fulfill requirements for professional certifications. Thanks to lobbying from national staff and Legionnaires within each department, the Legion has scored noteworthy victories in several states where credentialing legislation was introduced and quickly passed by a wide majority. These states include Indiana, Georgia, Arizona and Maryland. There are currently many other states working to pass credentialing legislation, resulting in jobs for veterans.
"These two topics can be added to your membership toolkit," Gaytan said. "Show new members what we are doing now, how we are continuing our legacy of improving the lives of Americas veterans."
Meanwhile, it was announced during the workshop that 14 departments have achieved 100 percent for the 2012-2013 membership year: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, the Philippines, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.
"It's not too late to meet the 100-percent membership deadline," National Commander James E. Koutz said. "We talk about the three Rs of membership (renew, recruit and retain), but there's actually another one: remain. If we are going to remain the world's largest veterans organization, we have a lot more work to do. more work to do.
"We can do this by always remembering my slogan, 'Every Day is Veterans Day.'"

By Hasan Uzun
The calibration of today s complex, high-degree-of-freedom (DOF) engines can be challenging, even for the most experienced automotive engineers. There are too many variable combinations to test individually, and trade-offs among performance, efficiency, emissions and reliability are complex.
At AMG, we developed a custom engine calibration tool using MATLAB, Model-Based Calibration Toolbox and Parallel Computing Toolbox that enables engineers at all levels of expertise to extract the highest possible performance from AMG powertrains (see Figure 1). The tool supports the entire calibration process, from design of experiments (DOE), through model generation and selection, to optimization.
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing.
Applying DOE Methodology
Engine performance depends on precise control of a large number of engine control parameters. For example, today s engine control units (ECUs) enable multiple injections per engine cycle "each with different amounts of fuel, adding more parameters to the problem. Engine calibration involves tuning these variables and others to maximize performance across the operational range of engine speeds and loads.
Because the effects of calibration variables are interdependent, it is impossible to calibrate an engine by simply optimizing one variable at a time. However, because there may be a dozen or more variables, each with a range of possible values, it is also not feasible to test all possible combinations on a working engine.
Figure 1. AMG calibration tool main menu.
DOE methodology addresses this problem by generating test plans that efficiently determine the nature of the engine responses. The tool we developed lets engineers, without any specialized knowledge, apply DOE methodology as part of AMG s comprehensive calibration process.
Building a Custom Calibration Tool
Developing the calibration tool was a three-stage effort. In the first stage, we established robust design, modeling and optimization processes for systematically calibrating an AMG engine using the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox graphical user interface (GUI).
Once those processes were in place, we used the Model-Based Calibration Toolbox command-line interface to capture the steps in MATLAB functions. We wanted to provide an application tailored to the specific inputs of our workflow, plus the specific requirements of our calibration engineers. For this reason, in the third stage we used MATLAB to create a custom GUI that invokes Model-Based Calibration Toolbox via the command-line interface (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Model setup dialog box.
Generating and evaluating candidate engine models is a computationally intensive calibration task that can take several minutes to process. To accelerate this step, we used Parallel Computing Toolbox to take advantage of the processing power available in all the dual-core workstations at AMG.
This straightforward change gave MATLAB access to both CPUs, enabling our team to perform their modeling calculations about 1.7 times faster than before.
The Calibration Workflow
The new calibration tool has streamlined and simplified the calibration process at AMG. Even engineers with no previous knowledge of DOE methodology are using the tool "and getting excellent results.
The engineers first enter known variable limits, such as minimum and maximum fuel injection quantities (measured in milligrams per injection) and the spark timing range (measured in degrees crankshaft). The interface asks only for the information we need for AMG engines, in terms understood by AMG engineers.
The tool invokes Model-Based Calibration Toolbox to generate a minimal set of test points to be run on an engine dynamometer. Having evaluated a number of experimental design types, including full factorial, central composite and Latin Hypercube, we have settled on a custom approach that combines space-filling and optimal techniques.
Next, the engineers bring the test data "including measurements of torque, emissions and fuel consumption "back into the tool, which again invokes Model-Based Calibration Toolbox to generate engine models (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Model comparison and selection tool.
Finally, the tool uses Model-Based Calibration Toolbox to optimize calibration settings across a range of engine speed and load values. For example, we specify an emissions limit to meet regulatory requirements, and a fuel consumption limit to meet our environmental goals. We then optimize torque for performance. Model-Based Calibration Toolbox solves these large constrained optimization problems, and produces look-up tables ready for export to the electronic control unit (ECU).
For Further Reading
Building Greener Performance Cars
MATLAB and the command-line interface of Model-Based Calibration Toolbox have enabled us to implement a solution that fits seamlessly into AMG s existing calibration workflow. Our specialized calibration tool is helping AMG to achieve its Euro 6 compliance goals. The DOE methodology and multi-core parallelization of computationally intensive statistic modeling and optimization tasks have accelerated the process.
AMG engineers used the tool as part of the calibration process for the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. This sports car s 6.3-litre, V8 AMG engine delivers 571 hp peak output at 650 Nm of torque (all values are provisional). The Gullwing model accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. Precise calibration contributed to the car s best-in-class fuel consumption of 17.8 mpg.
A primary advantage of using the custom calibration tool on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and other projects is that it is tailored to AMG s specific needs and existing calibration process. As a result, AMG engineers and technicians can focus on the specifics of AMG engines in a streamlined calibration process.

Scottoiler vSystem Sport Edition Chain Oiler Kit | With High Temperature Red Scottoil
Provide the same degree of drive line wear prevention as the standard, full size kit with a smaller profile Scottoiler vSystem Sport Edition Chain Oiler. Having a very low tack compared to most oils, the specially formulated oil in the Scottoiler system prevents dirt and debris from sticking to your motorcycle's sprockets and chain. Less crud on the chain and gears means less power loss, mess and wear. Because of its smaller reservoir, this unit will fit any model that the standard size vSystem will fit and a whole lot more. If your motorcycle has vacuum system and a chain, there is a very good chance it can be installed. The discreet size of the Reservoir Metering Valve in this version is ideal for riders who want more installation options, need to preserve weight, ride shorter duration trips, or just want to save space for other needs. With a 30ml reservoir and an automatic application system that only applies oil to your chain when your motor is running, this kit will provide worry free lubrication to your final drive for up to about 500 miles. Adding a flexible as well as easily removed and replaced Scottoiler Lube Tube will increase your lubrication range between refills to about 4000 miles. While the High Temperature Red Scottoil included in this kit is suited for normal ambient environmental temperatures of 68 to 104 degrees fahrenheit (20-40 degrees celsius), for operating temps of 32 to 86 degrees fahrenheit (0-30 degrees celsius) you may want to consider switching to Traditional Blue Scottoil. Prolong the life of the chain on your motorcycle and save maintenance time and mess with the vSystem Sport Oiler by Scottoiler.Learn More$139.95

Avon 3D Ultra Sport AV80, Sport, Rear 17 Inch, Size 180/55-17, 73W, Tubeless Radial Tire
You didn't buy a high-performance supersport motorcycle to put low-performance tires on it, did you? Of course not. That's why you'll want Avon's latest performance tire, the 3D Ultra Sport. With capabilities that span from track days to commuting, the AV79 (front) and AV80 (rear) Ultra Sport tire which brings together the performance of a sportbike tire with the mileage of a street tire.
The 3D Ultra's triple compound puts harder rubber in the middle of the tire for great mileage, softer rubber either side of that, and the really grippy stuff in the shoulders where you need it at aggressive cornering speeds. Inverted grooves in the tread resist irregular wear and improve wet braking, and an SRS (super-rich silica) compound gives you better performance in low temperatures, more grip in the wet, and less rolling resistance for cooler running and higher mileage.
The 3D Ultra Sport's interlocking, three-dimensional siping improves stability and grip by limiting tread flex, and allows the tire to warm up quickly. Inside the 3D Ultra rear tire, A-VBD construction features belts wrapped closely in the center of the tire for high-speed stability and better mileage, and more loosely at the shoulders for a bigger footprint and increased grip. Ideal for high-performance bikes whose riders want great traction and good mileage, the 3D Ultra Sport is available in all the common sportbike sizes including the massive 200/50-17 rear.

Hobbs Chapel Burial
Ground / Hobb's Family
Graveyard located at Anchorage
This listing was
sent to by Tim Jones. It was acquired from the book,
"Middletown's Days
and Deeds; The Story of 150 Years of Living in an Old Kentucky
Town". A similar listing can be found in the
"Wilderness Road Cemeteries in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia", as compiled by Robert Foster Johnson for the
West-Central Kentucky Family Research Association in 1981.
This latter book can still be found by contacting the
Association itself or McDowell Publications of Owensboro,
Kentucky. Please email your
coordinator if you have any questions or other more recent
information to add regarding this
Located in eastern
Jefferson County at Anchorage behind the Methodist Church.
According to Robert Foster Johnson, this cemetery has
approximately 80 graves. "This could be the most
attractive old church-yard in the state. The whole layout is
a showpiece of the palmy days of Methodism. The artistic
brick walks are there, the front of the church is here, the church
proper is gone. One hundred yards to the rear lies the old
cemetery, for whose construction no expense was spared. The
wall is special in makeup. The graves are raised as a whole,
one foot above surrounding earth and five great Methodist
preachers are sleeping here. This is holy ground, for
Methodists. The leading donors were the Hobbs, hence the
name Hobb's Chapel. The great maples and poplars make it a
charming spot. Wealth exudes."
Johnson also states that his work completes the Hobbs Chapel
Burial Ground off Osage Road in Anchorage. He also states
that nearly all these people were related in some way. As of
1981, the beautiful grounds were cared for by the Anchorage Garden

Raleigh, N.C. — As Senate lawmakers gave final approval to House Bill 100 Tuesday, immigrant rights activists appeared with Democratic lawmakers and local leaders at the legislature, calling on House lawmakers to halt the speedy progress of the measure.
The proposal would ban law enforcement agencies from recognizing consular or local identification cards.
A law passed last year banned city and county governments from recognizing non-official IDs but left a loophole for law enforcement use after some police chiefs objected to the ban. This year, Republican House and Senate leaders said that loophole has been exploited by groups like Faith Action International, a Greensboro-based nonprofit that has issued some 6,000 community IDs in a dozen North Carolina municipalities over the past few years.
House Bill 100 also requires the Attorney General's Office, with the help of the State Bureau of Investigation, to investigate any complaint – even anonymous ones – that a city or county is violating the ban. If a city or county is found to be recognizing non-official IDs in any capacity, it could lose its state road repair or school construction money, respectively.
The legislation also requires clerks of court to maintain a publicly accessible list of names and addresses of people who are excused from jury duty because they are not citizens and to forward those names to the State Board of Elections, and it requires more employers and contractors to use E-Verify to check the immigration status of workers.
House and Senate leaders who support the bill call it an "incentive" for local governments to follow the state law. But local leaders and immigrant rights advocates say it's one of the harshest pieces of anti-immigrant legislation in the nation.
Carrboro Mayor Lydia Lavelle appeared with town Police Chief Walter Horton. She said Carrboro's population is about 18 percent immigrant, and the "Faith IDs" have helped build trust and cooperation between immigrant communities and law enforcement, which often faces sizable barriers in trying to investigate crime against or within such communities.
"For many of us, this is very political, but for our law enforcement, it's all about the safety of our communities. It's not political for them. It's about their job and doing what they are sworn to do," Lavelle said. "I am committed to providing for the health, safety and welfare of all of the residents of the town, and when my police chief and all my residents tell me that this program helps achieve that goal, I want to listen to them."
Senate leaders have called the Faith Action cards "fake IDs," saying they aren't secure enough to be trusted. But Sarah Rawleigh with Faith Action International said her organization has stringent identification verification requirements. She said the program has the backing of sheriffs in nine counties and police departments in 12 cities in North Carolina.
Lawmakers supporting House Bill 100, Rawleigh said, "are using dangerous and offensive stereotypes to create fear around immigration at a time when many of our communities in North Carolina have chosen to welcome our newest neighbors and need their help to create safer communities."
The proposal passed its final Senate vote Tuesday afternoon. It now goes back to the House for a final concurrence vote.

September 1, 2011
September is PRSA's annual Ethics Month. To mark the occasion, members of the Board of Ethics and Professional Standards conducted a roundtable discussion on July 22. They discussed Burson Marsteller's role in Facebook's attempted smear campaign against Google, Duke Nukem's poor PR response after receiving negative reviews and the Professional Standards Advisory No. 17 regarding student internships. Here's an edited version of their conversation:
James Lukaszewski, ABC, APR, Fellow PRSA: Let's start with the Burson Marsteller/ Facebook incident that occurred in the first half of 2011.
In essence, Facebook hired Burson Marsteller to anonymously place negative and competitive information about Google. The whole project came apart when one of the media outlets that the agency approached outed them in a blog post.
Deb Silverman, Ph.D., APR: As an educator, I'm planning to use the Burson Marsteller incident in my classes as an instance of what ought not to be done. Their behavior violated our Code on a number of fronts — the professional value of honesty, the professional value of fairness to competitors, the free flow of information and the disclosure of information for not revealing their sponsors.
Patrick McLaughlin, APR: This cautionary tale is an effective lesson about why knowledge of the PRSA Member Code of Ethics is essential. It not only gives PR practitioners solid footing to provide valuable counsel, it can also save the client from an embarrassing and potentially costly hit on their reputation.
Tom Eppes, APR, Fellow PRSA: I'm betting that Burson Marsteller often counsels its clients to be forthcoming in situations like this one.
Acknowledge the error. Communicate in detail the remedial actions that will be taken. Follow up a week or two later with more information about what's been done to ensure this cannot happen again. And join with industry leaders like PRSA to create special initiatives on ethical practice, ensuring the public knows that the agency takes this seriously and wants to help others avoid the same mistake.
Bob Frause, APR, Fellow PRSA: When Facebook came out and told the truth, then the story got some legs. We don't know if Facebook gave Burson Marsteller instructions to keep Facebook's involvement confidential or not. At least, at the end, BM did the right thing by coming out and telling the truth.
Eppes: I don't think we should expect people who are new to public relations — particularly those entering from the news business — to automatically understand best practices for the profession.
I remember hiring a talented newspaper reporter once whose clips were amazing. But the first few pieces she wrote for our clients were awful. She said she was writing like so many of the news releases she'd received over the years. She lowered the quality of her work because she'd come to believe that's what public relations was all about.
Pat Whalen, Ph.D., APR: That happens more often than we realize, and many ex-journalists feel like that they can "lower the bar," especially with their ethical standards, when they join the PR profession. Somehow, they have come to believe that PR people are less professional and less ethical than journalists, and that they can do things in public relations that they would have soundly criticized when they were working journalists. We need to use forums such as this to disabuse them of this notion.
Nance Larsen, APR, Fellow PRSA: Apparently, there was a failure [by Burson Marsteller] to counsel their client in the reputational value of honesty, fairness to competition and disclosure.
Tom Duke, APR, Fellow PRSA: We're in a situation here where the client has to share the blame. But Facebook is run by a bunch of techies who are younger people with little knowledge of the PR profession. That has something to do with what happened.
Frause: The reality is a client like Facebook is a plum account, particularly from the financial standpoint. You want to keep this kind of revenue.
Larsen: Whether or not a client is considered a "plum" account from a financial perspective, the professional and ethical responsibility of the PR practitioner remains the same. Every client on an agency roster expects a level of professionalism, expertise and guidance, especially in times of crisis.
Frause: The bottom line here is that stealth strategies are unethical.
Ellen Hartman, APR, Fellow PRSA: Who approved this strategy? Both companies should be blamed for the behavior and the outcomes.
Emmanuel Tchividjian: This was high-risk behavior. Any experienced PR professional would have anticipated a backlash with a reputational risk.
Silverman: If these two experienced journalists had any PR training on the job, then this all might have ended differently.
Whalen: I wish more journalists would take PR classes. Then they'd realize that we operate with high ethical standards. Our goals are focused on making sure that our clients' side of the story is presented fairly and accurately, while the journalists' goals are to get both sides out.
Mary Graybill, APR, Fellow PRSA: Journalists have their own code of ethics. It would be reasonable to expect these two journalists to bring that code of ethics to their PR work. Journalists have traditionally been gatekeepers of truth and fact.
Lukaszewski: If we could make a list of questions this whole episode raises, then what would those questions be that could benefit PR practitioners? One might be: "How much did top management know and when did they know it?"
Larsen: Were the pros and cons adequately dissected before the decision was made to pursue these tactics?
Lukaszewski: That's a good segue into the next topic: the Duke Nukem affair. Essentially, Duke Nukem Forever was a new game launched with the help of a PR agency, The Redner Group. The game's owners sent game software to selected reviewers. The company expected at least good reviews, if not rave reviews.
Instead, the reviews were uniformly negative. The Redner PR team then took to Twitter and threatened to blacklist those who provided negative reviews.
The original tweet read, in part: "Too many went too far with their reviews…we are reviewing who gets games next time and who doesn't based on today's venom."
Tchividjian: I'm rather sympathetic to The Redner Group. The game is their property and they're entitled to decide who gets a free copy and who does not. However, the ethical issue here is the expectancy that the review would be positive.
Larsen: A reviewer's credibility is on the line with their audience every time they evaluate a product — the nature of which demands honesty, fairness and bias-free analysis. However frustrating a negative review may be, a developer's relationship with reviewers is critical in reaching the marketplace. There is a trust factor between the two that should not be inhibited or breached by threats, which ultimately invalidate the assessment.
Graybill: It's not a review if the product is not objectively discussed. That would be an endorsement.
Whalen: Absolutely. It's the independent third-party endorsement that makes public relations a valuable tool. If the client buys the review — either through actual monetary exchange or through intimidation — the reviewer has no credibility.
Larsen: Social media is a two-way dialogue, and prohibiting interchange on any level — with profanity being the exception — is going to ultimately backfire. How the situation is addressed becomes critical.
Silverman: The company said they always maintained a mutually-respectful working relationship with the press and noted that they do not condone Redner's actions in any way. Obviously, they understood the notion of a free flow of information.
Lukaszewski: So what is the lesson from this episode?
Whalen: Don't be afraid of a few negative reviews. Customers will often overlook a reviewer's comments and make up their own minds, but they have little tolerance for people who seem to be trying to manipulate them with fake reviews or intimidation.
Lukaszewski: Now, let's switch gears to one of our recent PSAs on the use of interns and whether they should be paid or unpaid.
Frause: If you are doing work for a client that you're billing, then you need to pay [the intern]. On the other side of the equation, the kids are saying they need the experience. If you put the hammer down on agencies and make them all pay, then they're going to cut back on the amount of interns that they take on.
Silverman: In the Educator's Academy, there are a lot of mixed feelings about paying interns. Some find that there's a lot of value in unpaid internships, especially with some of the nonprofits in our various cities that probably couldn't afford to pay for students to be there.
Duke: In the past, internships were usually paid. It's a different situation and a different feeling if you're paid. You take [the job] much more seriously if there's some compensation involved.
Lukaszewski: The PSA talks about fixed standards or guidelines that are imposed by the Fair Labor Standards Act. What you're teaching an intern has to relate to something they are learning in school. The internship is for the benefit of the intern; and the intern may not displace a regular employee but works under close supervision.
The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage for the activities of the intern, and on occasion, its operations may even be impeded. The unpaid intern is neither entitled to — nor should expect — a job at the conclusion of the internship. Finally, the employer and the unpaid intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent on an unpaid internship. Does that present problems?
Graybill: When we've had interns, we've always paid them. My own sense of fairness would never allow me to not pay them.
Silverman: I'd love to see more paid internships. But the reality for a lot of us in medium-sized cities, is that we're not going to have as many paid internships as we would like to have.
Frause: In our intern program, we take on one or two interns a quarter and we pay them. They have to be undergraduates. We pay them because we bill their time. They take on the same duties as an assistant account executive. They're given the same kind of work as an assistant account executive. They have a manager, too.
Silverman: When we send our students out to do internships, the students are required to have the basic PR courses, the principles course and the PR writing course finished before they're able and allowed to [do] an internship for academic credit.
Eppes: Different universities have different approaches. The PR professors at UNC-Charlotte came to our offices to outline their expectations for a good internship, offering detailed guidelines. It was helpful in ensuring that account managers who worked with interns provided a valuable experience.
Duke: We hired many of the interns as full-time employees after their internship periods because they had received intensive training and became valuable employees.
Hartman: In the last few years, we have hired what we call "externs." They're graduates, but have yet to find their first job. This gives us the opportunity to try them out and vice-versa.
Lukaszewski: If you do an internship for college credit, then you have to pay for those credits. Let's say you have an unpaid internship for college credit. Does that mean that the student has incurred personal expenses as a result? Is this a revenue device for academic institutions selling credit hours? If they do it for credit, then do they have to pay for the credits?
Silverman: Yes, they do. Institutions that are accredited by ACEJMC (Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications) are prohibited from having students do internships for more than three credits in an academic year. Students can do more internships, but only three credits will be accepted.
We encourage students to have at least one internship before they graduate because not to have an internship these days is career suicide. Ideally, it would be for pay.

PPP's tracking of the Florida Republican primary wraps up with Mitt Romney at 39%, Newt Gingrich at 31%, Rick Santorum at 15%, and Ron Paul at 11%. Our three days of tracking found very little movement in the race: Romney was at 39-40% every day, Gingrich was at 31-32% every day, Santorum was at 14-15% every day, and Paul was at 9-11% every day.
The lack of movement in the final 72 hours of the campaign is a far cry from the dramatic shifts Florida Republicans made in their preferences over the last four months. In late September we found Mitt Romney ahead of Newt Gingrich by 20 points in the state. By late November, as he surged nationally, Gingrich had taken a 30 point led over Romney. But then our first poll in early January, after poor performances by Gingrich in Iowa and New Hampshire, found Romney back on top by 15 points. Riding a (short lived) wave of momentum off his South Carolina victory, Gingrich led our Florida poll last week by 5 points. By the end of the week the race had swung back to Romney and over the last three days his lead has been steady in the 7-8 point range.
One thing Romney did a great job of was getting his voters out early. With the third of the electorate who have already cast their ballots he leads 45-32. That means Gingrich would have to win election day voters by somewhere in the 6-8 point range to pull off the Florida upset, but we find that Romney still has a 36-30 advantage with those are waiting to vote tomorrow.
Romney will win in Florida tomorrow because he's winning his core groups of support by wide margins, while holding Gingrich to single digit advantages with his key constituencies. Romney is winning moderates by 39 (53-14), seniors by 12 (46-32), and women by 12 (42-30). Meanwhile Gingrich is only up 8 with Tea Partiers (39-31) and 6 with Evangelicals (38-32), groups he won by huge margins in South Carolina.
The hubbub over Romney's tax returns early last week may have enhanced his chances in the state. The truth is that being wealthy and successful is not a liability with Republican voters- it's a selling point. We find that 66% of primary voters have a favorable opinion of 'rich people' to only 8% with a negative opinion of them. All the awareness of how rich Romney is may have sent Florida Republicans a message that Romney is someone who knows what he's doing.
Gingrich erred with his proposal last week for a 'moon colony.' Only 21% of voters support his idea while 53% are opposed and more importantly it made Gingrich look like a flake. At the beginning of last week Gingrich and Romney were seen as equally electable against Barack Obama. Now 49% see Romney as the party's strongest candidate in the fall to 25% for Gingrich.
At the end of the day in Florida we're right back where we started. Romney was always seen as a solid favorite in the state and for all the twists and turns over the last six months it looks like he'll win a good sized victory just as was expected all along.

Two New England indies are experiencing change. Bank Square Books in Mystic, Ct., is adding a second location, while Connecticut's Monte Cristo Bookshop is being converted into a nonprofit co-op.
On Wednesday Bank Square announced, via its Facebook page, that its new store will be in Westerly, R.I., six miles away from its current location.
The new two-story, 2500 sq. ft. store—a joint project with Dan King and Chuck Royce of 10 Canal, LLC—will be located in the historic Martin House on Canal Street. It will include a small café.
This is the second expansion for Bank Square in less than a year. Last fall the bookstore more than doubled its space to 6,600 sq. ft. by adding a second store front to its existing one.
The new location will provide Westerly with a general independent bookstore after The Other Tiger Bookstore was forced to close in April, because of owner Robert Utter's health.
New London's Monte Cristo Bookshop, meanwhile, will be converted into a nonprofit co-op to be run by a nine-member board of directors. Michael Whitehouse, who oversaw a similar transition for Phoenix Games to Worlds Apart Games in Amherst, Mass., will serve as executive director.
Monte Cristo co-owner and co-founder Christopher Jones announced in June that the store needed to find a buyer this summer or close. He plans to hold a public meeting next week to discuss details and solicit volunteers for the nonprofit.

Muskellunge Fish
What do Muskellunge look like? How do they act? What do you need to know about them?
What do they look like?
These are some of the largest fish that are found in freshwater. The average muskellunge (a.k.a. muskie) weighs anywhere from five to 10 pounds. But it's not uncommon to run into a muskie that weighs 20 or 30 pounds. These fish are generally thin and have fins of equal size. Their mouths are somewhat beak-like and can open up to become quite wide. Their teeth are solid, sharp, and deadly. These are strong fish. Their colorings are darker on top, ranging in color from gray to green to black. They are lighter as you look down their sides, and white or yellowish underneath.
How do they behave?
Muskies spawn in late spring. The males and females meet in shallow water on vegetation. They need relatively cool water temperatures in order to breed. The females drop their eggs wherever they happen to be. A female muskie will lay anywhere from 22,000 to 180,000 eggs during one season, and the young will hatch two weeks later.
What should you know about them?
Newly hatched muskies are a favorite treat of other fish. Ironically, these fish that grow to considerable size, when they're young are often even eaten by minnows! The young muskies that survive the minnows and other fish eat plankton until they reach adult size. Then, anything is fair game, as they go after the largest fish available to them.

West Elm to Relaunch Brand and Exclusive Photos of Fall 2010 Collection
Casa Exclusive! Sneak Peek at West Elm Fall 2010 Collection & Brand Relaunch!
Big news! West Elm will relaunch its brand this Fall with a distinct new look to its catalog and merchandise, and I've secured exclusive photos of the upcoming collection!
You can expect the catalog to be warmer, propped with product that's not West Elm's, shot in real homes, more feminine, and less stark. The brand will focus on four distinct decorating styles: The Modernist (simple shapes, fun prints, bright colors, less is more), The Revivalist (modern interpretation of vintage forms mixed with industrial elements), The Naturalist (calm, serene, layered, organic, raw), and The Globalist (eclectic, bohemian, inspired by other cultures). The designs will also focus on solving everyday issues for small spaces with multi-functions. And, they'll become more eco-conscious with each collection.
Continue reading to hear more about specific products and a few interesting partnerships — and, of course, see photos of the new products!
One thing I'm particularly pumped about is West Elm's new "Specially Yours" service, where you can order the store's sofas and sectionals in 26 solid and printed fabrics, including velvet, suede, cotton poly basket weave, and twill, and have it delivered in eight to 10 weeks. I'd love to see even more fabric choices, but this is definitely an improvement!
And hello affordability! They'll also be re-pricing their bedding into three distinct price points — for a queen duvet, $59 for 200-thread count, $79 for 100% organic cotton, and $99 for a more luxurious sateen. The categories will be carried across all seasons so when you need to order a new set of shams or switch to a larger sheet size, you'll still be able to find your bedding regardless of what season it is!
West Elm's also getting on the collaboration bandwagon with a couple interesting partnerships. First, they commissioned students from the Pratt Institute studying industrial design to create a line of eco-friendly office furniture using FSC certified materials. Second, they teamed up with photo collage artist Mike Miller to create a collection of high quality prints from original silhouettes of his, which he created by cutting out vintage photographs of individuals and groups and reversing the images. You can take a gander at the designs, as well as other products, in the photo gallery below.
