Is that a SAFETY PIN on his tie!!!!Yikes, come on now!
Love love love!
I love older man styling. Something so smart and comfortable yet not trying too hard. The safty pin touch is cute ^^
It's a disarmingly simple outfit, but one I suspect that was probably pulled together with casual indifference. Such style!
Love your blog for its sensible eye and unexpected surprises.
what about that safety pin?
what about that safety pin?
love the safety pin. and the two tone square to compliment the shirt
It is all too perfect! Many an older gentlemen should take note and follow his lead in terms of how to wear a suit. Perfection personified!
simple and clean, and as for the safety pin, i guess it's simple and clean, who knows?
i'm undecided about the safety pin… but overall.. love it!
The safety pin makes it. I don't care how tacky anyone else thinks it is, he used a safety pin because he wanted to and it looks great!
The saftey pin is the coup de grace.
Quite brilliant, down to the safety pin and the two-color pocket square.
One note: the keyhole shape of the button or flower hole on the lapel. Some sartorialists rail against this shape. But do The Sartorialist's sartorialists really care? Or is it just another thing this great guy can get away with? Weigh in.
That safety pin is brilliant! He knows it will get some raised eyebrows and it looks like he is having fun with it. Love a man who doesn't take himself so seriously. Gives his otherwise perfect outfit some spunk. Okay Scott, what does Beppe do again? Obviously he's some sort of fashionista. Give it up.
I use a safety pin also , although I have mine on the inside of the tie !!!
he still looks great and I'm sure he couldn't care what anyone thinks
The colour blue of the pocket square is awesome.
Man, this is too perfect. I've been lurking a little while now and just have to tell you how wonderful I think your blog is. Thank you.
Absolute class. I could plan my suit, shirt and pocket square, etc. forever and not look that good.
The safety pin kills it.
Yes, it is a platinum safety pin, one of a kind, just like Beppe himself|
Yes, it is a platinum safety pin, one of a kind, just like Beppe himself!
Love, love love it. So stylish, so sweet.
Belated Happy BlogDay, Sartorialist. I want to echo those who say they dress in the hope/fear of being spotted by you; can't get away with schlumpy ever, just in case. >wink<
A safety pin or tie-clip in that form?
And is it one pocket-square or two, arranged in back of one another, colors contrasting?
Do hope it's the latter…
pocket square is very fetching
Congrats to THE SARTORIALIST on its one year anniversary. Thank you for being an important part of my day, giving me a peek into style and its intepreters whether they be industry insiders or folks who put together a clever look.
The photography is sharp and precise and the subjects ever-fascinating.
Wishing you continued success and many more postings!
it's probably not a safety pin but a $500 designer tie clip designed to look like a safety pin…
but i do love that pocket square
He looks great–walking sprezzatura. Who's the babe? Reminds me of Gilles and Kelly…
He is amazing. Love the texture on the tie. And the safety pin is charming, but does it damage the tie?
He's channeling Carl Reiner in "Ocean's Twelve"
He looks like someone I would love to have lunch with… and, by the way, the woman he's talking to in the first photo has GOR-GEOUS hair.
Now, that is Sartorial Style. If I saw Beppe Modenese wearing a Safety Pin as a Tie Bar…I would have to take his photo…as evidence.
I'm going to geek-out and say that…I get goose bumps when I see photos like this. I consider myself pretty Fashion Savvy…but Beppe KNOWS things that I don't…A LOT of things I don't.
so funny! platinum, aluminum, whatever, it's a smile and a wink on a tie.
Ditto: He does channel Carl Reiner from Ocean's 11.
Gotta love the safety pin. Sometimes we all have to just wing it.
Fantastic! I love the pin too.
The picture of Sig. Modenese warms my heart. My grandfather, a lifelong schmatte schlepper and man of true elegance (as, apparently, is Sig. Modenese) often used utilitarian objects to hold his tie in place. It's not that he lacked for tie clips/bars/pins; he could take as many as he wanted out of the display case in his men's store. He just liked the offhand look of a safety pin or paper clip or bobby pin, or even the cap from a fountain pen. I do something similar to this day, but I use the gold or silver pins made for shirt collars. They come in a variety of widths to accommodate most any tie. It looks to me, however, like Sig. Modenese is using a plain old safety pin, judging from the clasp portion. The ones made for collars are usually a little more stylized in that area.
As for damaging the tie, it appears that Sig. Modenese's is either knit or loosely woven, and, in either case, there's no risk of harm. The pin simply passes through the tie between the knitted yarn or woven threads. For a tie of a tighter weave in which the pin might leave a permanent hole, just use a long enough pin to span the width of the tie so that the spring end is at one edge of the tie and the clasp it at the other. There's usually not even any need to put the pin through the shirt fabric; just use one of the button holes.
As for the 'Safety-Pin' folks, it is actually a version of the tie-clip (obviously the readers here are of the fashion genre & not the trad suit & tie genre) which is quite common with knit ties. But what an impact on you all. I get the same reaction when-ever I wear my loose knit (as per photo) or tight-knit (akin to a
fine sweater) on Fridays! It KILLS my colleagues, the knit ties remind them of science or geography teachers of past!!!
As for the pocket-square!!! One or two? Either way what a way to connect the different blues! A master-stroke…
I can only hope that I will age like him…
All these people who cry over the saftey pin – on some young hipster it would been seen as throwaway and intersting – i love that as an older man he can affect the same mood – the saftey pin is genius
Although the safety pin gives the look an endearing quality, I think that the fact that it is placed 1/4 of the way down the shirt creates odd proportions in the torso. I love the way that the blue blends with the monochromatics of the suit.
I think the placement of his safety pin has to do with the fact that dear Beppe is trying to accentuate the positive and not his tummy.
charcoal gray and blue work extremely well , one of my favorites….. love the safety pin , good catch Sart
Well, this gives a whole new meaning to "power pin". Love the humour, love the blues.
SAFETY PIN ….defiintely a sense of humor showing …always a welcome though to bee incorporated into one's style …not only does it convey a sense of individuality but also a dose of of confidence too.
Definetly aree with the decision there.
The pocket square color another personal touch …looks great …love the two shades of blue in addition to all the other blues he has going , including the bold check shirt.NICE!
Sooo good :)
Hmm. Would we all find this gentleman so terribly stylish if we just happened to cross him in the street, without a clue as to who he was? I wonder.
To Anon 9:06am
Please, even though I told you who he is I'm sure that means very little to the readers – the praise for this guy is all about his classic style
The safety pin tie clip is perfect with the knit tie and the blue check shirt as the shirt and tie are both casual (not dressy).
Somewhere I have a gold paper clip tie clip that was given to me by a former boss when I admired the one he was wearing.
I like the safety pin.
Actually, I'm thinking I might break out an old menswear skinny tie and wear it with a white shirt and a vertical safety pin…..
Reminds me of back in the late 70′s, when I was a Sophomore in high school and disco was king!; everyone was wearing super tight jeans, Candie's shoes and these extra-long skinny leather belts that you wrapped around your waist 2-3 times. Well, I decided to make my own sexy style, and wrapped it once around my waist, then once down between my young legs, circling back up my hip and to my waist again.
It was so hot that all the guys at school couldn't take their eyes off my tight jeans and the belt that was going where none had gone before….;)
So, I say, let him do what he wants!

Channing Tatum hopes to see Magic Mike reach the broadest audience possible — heterosexual men included.
The film, loosely based on his own experiences as an exotic dancer, features Tatum, 32, Matthew McConaughey, 42, Alex Pettyfer, 22, Matt Bomer, 34, Joe Manganiello, 35, and Adam Rodriguez, 27, in various states of undress.
"With Joe Manganiello naked in a movie, I think even straight guys are going to be, 'Sh-t, I need to see that," Tatum tells OUT's June/July issue. "That man is a specimen.'"
But Tatum knows that getting straight male moviegoers to see Magic Mike is likely a long shot. "It's risky. People say that women and the gay community will go see it — knock on wood — but I know straight guys won't be like, 'Yo, what's up man? You wanna go see the stripping movie after the game tonight?' I doubt they'll have the balls to see it."
VIDEO: Channing Tatum performs a sexy striptease
Adds Tatum: "What's funny is that the girls don't ask me questions about my stripping days, but straight guys want to know everything. It's that fantasy element. It's probably why a lot of females on Halloween are the whorey version of a ketchup bottle, or slutty nurse, which I love and respect — it's liberating."
When asked about his days as a stripper in Tampa, Florida, Tatum — who wed Jenna Dewan in 2009 — admits that he "never enjoyed the taking-the-clothes-off part."
"You are on a stage with people yelling at you, and you feel you're a rock star, but you're nothing — you're just a guy taking off his clothes, looking like a fool in a stupid outfit."
For Tatum, Magic Mike not only gave him the chance to revisit his past: It also provided the opportunity to move away from tearjerkers like Dear John and The Vow.
"I was definitely looking for something to take me into the dark side," he tells OUT. "You learn something about yourself, you learn about men, women, you see a lot of depressing sh-t, people that are lost. But at the same time, the dark side can be exciting. It can feel like you're cheating death every night."
Magic Mike arrives in theaters June 29. The new issue of OUT hits stands May 22.

I have never done fencing before but I really want to try it. Where should I start? How can I find a fencing club or private lessons? Thanks.
I have never done fencing before but I really want to try it. Where should I start? How can I find a fencing club or private lessons? Thanks.
You should be able to find a club on http://britishfencing.com/clubs/find-a-club/ these are all properly affiliated clubs and should be able to give you a good introduction. Most clubs will offer beginner's courses which are a great introduction and it means you won't be starting on your own, it isn't compulsory though.
If you give us some idea of location someone can probably recommend a local club to you.
I am actually looking*for some fencing tips and ideas. I type*into*Google "Fencing Forums" and I found this community. Glad to be part of this forum.
Looking to become a intermediate fencer.
Looks like we have a BOT problem.
Hey all,
I used to fence whilst at uni, and I posted around here a fair bit too (User:Aer) but the memory is going with far too many on call shifts, so I have literally no idea what my old email was for this forum, let alone the password.
I've decided to try and get back into fencing - and I've moved from Scotland to the North West. Been struggling to find a Foil club in these parts - any ideas for North Manchester/Blackburn area clubs? Have Car, Will travel...
We do a bit of foil in Liverpool fencing club, west lancs also have some foil in Ormskirk, as regards Manchester I would recommend Marshall fencing, they have some foillists there and a great foil coach in Steve Glaister. If I remember correctly Stu Marshall is on here as Kingbob. but I could be wrong.
Keith McCarthy, following Munkeys revolution re. anonymity
British Fencing AASE Assessor
British Fencing Coach Developer
Veteran Foil Champion of Szombathely 2015 and 2016!!
Thanks, will check that out.
I've noticed that inflation seems to have hit fencing kit a fair amount since I last bought any!
Hi there, I'm new here. I've got an interest in athletic performance and recently made a short documentary on fencing. Specifically GBR fencer & U23 British Champion Kamal Minott. I'm trying to get it out to as many fans of the sport and thought a fencing forum might be a good place to share it. Apologies if this is perceived as spamming, I genuinley want it to be of interest. Anyway, here it is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=firybFwm5lA
Cheers, Nat
Hey welcome to the forum.
I actually saw this a few weeks ago shared around on FB. Well done!

Hamburger America: Snappy Lunch in Mount Airy, North Carolina
Editor's note: Burgermeisters! Here's another excerpt from George Motz's book Hamburger America. George and his publisher were kind enough to allow us to run them here, along with George's beautiful photos. Eat up!
The Snappy Lunch sells a curiosity called the Breaded Hamburger. Sometimes referred to as the "No-Burger." or the "old fashioned," this throwback to the Depression was invented when meat was scarce. At the Snappy Lunch, the breaded burger still out-sells the regular burger on the menu three to one.
"I don't even get into it with out-of-towners," said Mary Dowell, wife of long-time owner and local food celebrity Charles Dowell. "I don't even like them!" she told me with a smile. I tried my first Depression-era burger at the Snappy Lunch and really liked it. It kind of resembled a bland crab cake with ground beef inside. "What do ya think?" Mary asked. I told her it tasted like a biscuit and she informed me that I had named the main ingredient.
Charles has been a fixture at the Snappy Lunch since 1943 where at age fifteen he was paid $10 a week. Eight years later his father, a local grocer, helped Charles negotiate the purchase of a share in the restaurant and in 1960 became the sole owner.
In the recently renovated gleaming kitchen at the rear of the restaurant I met 16-year veteran cook Diane. "I never thought a breaded burger could out-sell the regular burger, but they do, every day."
Hamburger America is available at Amazon and comes with a DVD of George's movie of the same title.

1 injured during Baytown bull run
Amid 3,500 people running with the bulls, only one took a brief trip to the hospital
One man was hospitalized and a few others suffered minor injuries Saturday as roughly 3,500 people faced off with a few dozen bulls at an inaugural run in Baytown.
The Great Bull Run, held at the Royal Purple Raceway, was a spinoff of the annual event in Pamplona, Spain. Eager participants paid $70 to stand on a track for about 2 minutes, facing fear head on as the bulls ran toward them.
"Then they make their choice," said founder Rob Dickens. "Do they turn and hide? Or do they try to run?"
Sales executives, IT specialists and other thrill-seekers, ages 18 to 69, came from across the country to participate in some of the seven runs.
Chris Robertson, 25, from Houston had thought the event sounded exciting, but may have been second-guessing himself as he lay in the dirt in a fetal position after a mishap.
"I saw them coming so I started jogging, then when I looked back they were a lot closer," he said. "I got hit by one of them and went down. I was just thinking, 'Stay down, stay down.' I didn't see death, but it was one of those things where you really know you're alive."
Officials said that most of the 3,000 spectators come to see people get hurt, like rubbernecking at a car crash. At first they cheered and hollered, but the crowd fell quiet when 21-year-old Hugo Soto from Pasadena got trampled in the final race.
As he lay injured, participants surrounded him, trying to protect him from more damage.
"I did not think it was that dangerous. I did not think our day would end up like this," said Soto's cousin, Irving Garcia, as he called his aunt to tell her that her son was en route to the hospital.
Soto was treated for head injuries at Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital in Baytown and released after a few hours.
Organizers say it was just another day at the office for the Great Bull Run.
"Two people went to hospital in the first one in Virginia," said Dave Fanucchi, a spokesman for the event. "One person got hurt in the second one in Atlanta, so this is about equivalent."
The Atlanta injury included a broken pelvis.
Despite the danger, adrenalin-fueled activities like this seem to be on the rise, spectators said.
"These kinds of things never used to exist," said Seth Angel, general manager of the Royal Purple Raceway.
The Tough Mudder challenge drew 12,000 people to the raceway last year to run a 12-mile obstacle course that involved swimming through ice-filled containers.
Unlike the bull run, that event raises money for charity and involves some skill, stamina and training.
Many of the people at The Great Bull Run seemed to be more interested in the quick thrill.

Professor Brian Pogue, internationally known for his research on biomedical optics and imaging of cancer, has been named the new dean of graduate studies at Dartmouth. In the lab, Pogue and his research team develop and refine new medical technologies that use near-infrared light and spectroscopy to characterize cancer pathophysiology and guide cancer therapy. He also serves as deputy editor of the journal Optics Letters, is on the editorial boards of Medical Physics and the Journal of Biomedical Optics, and holds adjunct appointments in the surgery department at Dartmouth Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
In the August-September 2008 issue of PE: The Magazine for Professional Engineers, Thayer Dean Joseph J. Helble makes the case for the ability of colleges to prepare engineering students who are technically proficient and creative leaders who understand broader societal issues. "This call to a holistic approach is, in fact, a call to regain the true mission of the engineering profession," Helble and three co-authors write in "Dispelling the Myths of Holistic Engineering." "Engineers are eloquent in distinguishing themselves from other scientists as the science-based professionals who apply their creative and technical knowledge in service to humanity, specifically by designing and building to improve the quality of life for society in both the built and natural environments."
The International Metallographic Society has awarded professor Ian Baker and three of his students honors in its International Metallographic Contest and Exhibit, held in conjunction with the society's annual convention in August. The contest, which offers microstructural analysts the opportunity to display their work and communicate significant scientific information, covers all fields of optical and electron microscopy. Baker and Yifeng Liao Th'09 earned an honorable mention in the "Electron Microscopy — Transmission and Analytical" division for their work on "Microstructural Refinement of a Eutectoid Fe-Ni-Mn-Al Alloy." Baker and Si Chen Th'10 received third-place honors in the "Electron Microscopy Scanning" division for their work on "Mechanisms of Sintering Ice Spheres." And the professor and Rachel Lomonaco Th'09 received an honorable mention for the Dubose-Crouse Award for Unique, Unusual, and New Techniques in Microscopy for their research on "Classification of Firn Using Micro CT and SEM." Baker is Thayer's Sherman Fairchild Professor of Engineering Sciences and senior associate dean of academic affairs.
Dartmouth has been awarded nearly $3 million to develop an interdisciplinary doctoral program in the polar sciences and engineering, with a focus on rapid environmental change. The five-year grant from the National Science Foundation "will allow us to train a desperately needed cohort of climate change scientists," says environmental studies professor Ross Virginia, director of the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth. His co-investigators in the project include Thayer professors Ian Baker and Mary Albert Th'84.
Professor Ursula Gibson '76 spent the fall term at the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland in Espoo, Finland, under a Fulbright Scholarship. A nanomaterials specialist, she is investigating the use of zinc oxide nanostructures as a way of imparting UV protection capabilities. "My collaborators in Finland are interested in improved protection for wood products," said Gibson, who hopes to connect this research to the timber industry in Vermont and New Hampshire. "Zinc oxide is a particularly attractive material to use as a UV blocker because it absorbs a wide range of UV light, and doesn't degrade as it does its job." Gibson returned in January to become the new director of Thayer's M.S./Ph.D. programs.
Adjunct professor Mary Albert Th'84 has been named director of the new Ice Drilling Program Office, part of National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs. The IDPO is responsible for drilling and obtaining ice core samples, which contain data about past climate conditions, levels of pollution, and even levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases over the last 800,000 years. Albert is a research engineer with the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, part of the Army Corps of Engineers, and will head-up research at IDPO, which will be headquartered at Thayer School.
A group of Dartmouth researchers, including Thayer research associate and scientist Robert Savell Adv'05, has developed a mathematical tool that can be used to unscramble the underlying structure of time-dependent, interrelated, complex data — such as the career-long votes of legislators, second-by-second activity of the stock market, or levels of oxygenated blood flow in the brain. Their study was published in a December online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. "We think this tool can be useful when applied in the financial realm, to portfolio and risk management," says study co-author and mathematics professor Dan Rockmore. "We expect similar results as it is applied to different complex systems like the brain, or even the collections of brains that are societies."

A self-admitted travel addict – in the last year and a half alone, I've visited ten different countries on four different continents – I tend to move around quite often and adore the discovery of it all. So, naturally, within a month of returning home to Southern California, I uprooted to New York, and within a week of my arrival, was on the road to Washington, D.C. There was a political conference in early March that I decided I had to be a part of, but that left me with only two hectic days to plan my transport, among other logistics. However, after briefly sifting through some unsubstantial websites, I fortunately stumbled upon Megabus.com and within less than five minutes, was staring at a few good options for my impulsive road trip. Unfortunately, I missed their $1.00 ticket deals - yes, that's right, every single route they offer starts as low as $1.00 - being only a couple of days from my travel date. But, the prices I did find were extremely affordable, less than twenty dollars each way. The question was, what could I expect for that low of an amount. I would soon realize the answer is plenty, though having just found my way back from a whole other kind of travel world – a crammed, 24-hour sleeping bus in Vietnam, a two-day slow boat in Laos, and in India, a skeleton of a bus, so that I was wedged for 12 hours between two broken seats – my expectations were conveniently low. I was also apprehensive about the seemingly vague address given for pick-up, actually just cross streets. As I neared the given intersection on the day of my trip, I was glad to find clear signs directing Megabus passengers and well, there really is just no way to miss a huge double-decker bus parked ahead, with Megabus.com strewn across its side in screaming blue and yellow. In-fact, its convenient street access is one of the reasons why Megabus can offer such low prices, says Megabus President and COO, Dale Moser, "we are a curbside operator, so overhead costs are kept to a minimum, and there is more flexibility to work with and for the customer."
Founded in 2006 by Stagecoach Group, through its subsidiary Coach USA, Megabus seems to have been their best idea yet. Through their modern intercity buses, they have already served more than 16 million people in over 75 cities from the Midwest and Northeast of the US and Canada. A recent 2011 study conducted by Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development at DePaul University claims that "the intercity bus was the sole major long-distance passenger transportation mode that grew appreciably in 2011," and curbside operators like Megabus "grew at a particularly rapid rate … " A major reason for that has been the flailing economy and rising fuel costs. As a result, a new sort of clientele is developing as well. On my trip, I found myself sitting amongst a range of people from seemingly varied socio-economic backgrounds. Additionally, Coach USA claims in a recent press release, motor coaches like Megabus "when filled to capacity, are on average seven times more energy-efficient than single-occupancy automobiles, releasing the least carbon dioxide per passenger mile when compared to any other mode of transportation." Something more to consider when planning your next road trip.
"We believe we were one of the first to provide a different and innovative intercity travel concept," says Moser. Indeed, they have transformed the industry as the first company to offer this particular mode of travel through Internet sales, and in the last six years, Megabus has turned the common bus into a modern mode of transportation, fitting to today's highly technological generation. They are also the first to come out with a mobile app for their bus service, Moser states, "we have taken technology and made it part of our service." Megabus not only offers reclining seats, but bathroom facilities, power outlets, free 3G WiFi, and professional drivers. The only disappointment was that the WiFi promised was not functioning on my roundtrip, though Megabus says they are currently upgrading their systems.
In this way, my travel continued, four and a half hours each way, from the thrill of NY to the bustle of DC, and exactly on time. There was only one five-minute stop in Baltimore, to pick up and drop off passengers. "We schedule our trips to be express," says Moser, "we do the trip in the same amount of time as if you were in your own automobile." Megabus also offers intermodal connectivity by functioning out of center city locations, another advantage for their customers. One constant Megabus rider sitting by me, a polite woman in her mid-fifties, said she's rarely had any problems with Megabus and enjoys their straightforward service, simply "you get what you pay for … more bang for the buck". I have to agree. Although, there were some minor technical issues, my experience was efficient, comfortable and just what I needed. Whether you are on a tight budget, environmentally conscious, or just need to save a few gas dollars, there are many reasons to use Megabus. As Moser says, "leave your car at home and come with us."

Transition to Adulthood
The transition of youth to adulthood has become a priority issue nationwide.
Over 90 percent of children with special health care needs now live to
adulthood, but are less likely than their non-disabled peers to complete high
school, attend college or to be employed. Health and health care are cited as
two of the major barriers to making successful transitions.
North Dakota's goal is to increase the percent of youth with special health care needs who have received the services necessary to make transitions to all aspects of adult life, including adult health care, work, and independence.
The National CSHCN Survey provides State and National level data on the percent
of parents of children with special health care needs reporting that their child
receives support in the transition to adult health care and vocational and
career training. This survey, conducted every four years, provides National and
State estimates.
Data Resource Center for Child & Adolescent Health:
Outcome #6 CSHCN Youth receive services needed for transition to adulthood
The Data Resource Center for Child & Adolescent Health provides information concerning children with special health care needs and their transition to adulthood. Outcome #6 assesses transition services for CSHCN age 12-17 years old as they move to adult services, including health insurance coverage, changing providers and the increasing need for self‐care that are critical for transition to adulthood. Nationally, only 40% of CSHCN receive transition services, with states ranging from 31.7% - 52.7%, as measured in the 2009/10 NS-CSHCN. The transition to adulthood is a critical developmental period during which youth undergo extra stress and are particularly vulnerable. http://childhealthdata.org/docs/cshcn/outcome-6.pdf?Status=Master

In all of the chaos that is the global economy, a story about the sale of a blog for $15m probably received less attention than it would have under different circumstances.
22 year-old Johns Wu started the Bankaholic blog in 2006 to help individuals obtain the best rates for bank savings products.
Late last month, it was announced that BankRate, a publicly-traded company that operates a number of online personal finance properties, had acquired Bankaholic for $12.4m up front with an additional $2.5m earn-out.
The acquisition had some observers scratching their heads.
Duncan Riley at The Inquisitr noted:
"You would presume the site was making good money by the sales price, but nothing else about the site stacks up. Traffic isn't brilliant, matched by irregular posting at best. Quantcast shows 156,000 uniques on 263,000 visits, Compete puts the unique number at 300,000. The site has an Alexa ranking of 42,168. Since September 14, there has been only 9 posts to the site, and comments vary from a few through to the highest at 20."
In an interview with WebProNews, Wu credited BankRate's interest in Bankaholic to the "user engagement" factor.
Wu stated:
"Bankrate is a boring old school corporate website that offers no platform for visitors to interact with each other. Now that they have Bankaholic, they will be positioned to spinoff a more interactive brand that will attract younger, web savvy consumers. Tom Evans, the CEO of Bankrate, affirmed this view in the conference call he had with investors regarding the Bankaholic acquisition [sic]."
But is "user engagement" really all that it's cracked up to be in this case?
Probably not. BankRate's interest in Bankaholic was more likely the result of Bankaholic's SEO.
In BankRate's press release, BankRate President and CEO Thomas Evans stated:
"We have been working with Bankaholic in a co-brand relationship since July and have seen first-hand the volume and quality of its traffic. Bankaholic is ranked high in natural search for both deposit and credit card keywords. We believe their organic traffic will increase our deposit and credit card revenue, and with a high composition of free traffic, will help to improve margins. [Emphasis mine]"
In a WebProNews interview with Jeremy Schoemaker, who runs the successful Shoemoney blog, Schoemaker stated his belief that BankRate was attracted by Bankaholic's "authority in the banking industry. Especially with all the banking news going on, now those keywords are hotter then [sic] ever."
WebProNews' Chris Crum went on:
"Schoemaker didn't really think that the engagement factor was integral to Wu's deal with Bankrate. When I asked him if he thought it played a particularly big role, he said, 'In this case I do not think so. I think the most important factor was that it was an authority in a very highly competitive niche.'"
From this perspective, one might say that Wu was more an SEO than he was a "blogger."
He identified a niche, found a way to serve it via a blog and went to work on a strategy that eventually turned Bankaholic into a property that was an attractive target for a company like BankRate.
Who got the better deal – Wu or BankRate? Time will tell, although it's definitely worth pointing out that BankRate deal or not, Wu almost certainly ran a profitable operation with Bankaholic given the reported characteristics of his traffic and the lucrative niche he was serving.
While Bankaholic is clearly one of those one-in-million stories that most internet entrepreneurs can only hope to write, there is an entrepreneurial lesson to be found in Wu's success – oftentimes it's the simplest things that work the best.
To succeed, an entrepreneur doesn't necessarily need millions of dollars in capital, a huge staff, a complex solution looking for an even more complex problem or a pie-in-the-sky business model.
A simple concept, a receptive market, a way to generate some revenue, a bit of hard work and a little bit of luck usually work just fine. And online, some solid SEO clearly doesn't hurt.
Just ask Johns Wu.

Partnerships through government
Collaborating on research, contributing to professional services and licensing our intellectual property are just three of the ways we work with industry, business and government.
We provide a one-stop shop for industry, government and community groups wishing to collaborate with us and to connect with our researchers.
Believing in the potential of our work, our goal is to unite with industry partners who recognise the value of our technologies, ideas and expertise and wish to engage in one of a range of partnerships with us.
Our existing partners include:
It is our hope that our partnerships fuel greater research and development for our partners and generate products, systems and services that benefit our global community.
We'll undertake projects to the benefit of individual industry partners, but will maintain our ethical standards for excellence in unbiased published research and teaching.
Our multi-year partnership with Microsoft establishes ongoing investment at Sydney's Nanoscience Hub as Microsoft moves from research to real-world engineering of quantum machines..
This investment will bring state of the art equipment, allow the recruitment of new staff and help build the nation's scientific and engineering talent. It will also focus significant research project funding into the University, assuring the nation a key role in the emerging "quantum economy."
Professor David Reilly from the University School of Physics is leading the team at Station Q and believes that this partnership will bring quantum computing out of the laboratory and into the real world where it can have genuine impact.
We have an ongoing partnership with international mining group Rio Tinto, seeking to increase mining automation. Established in 2007 in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies, the Rio Tinto Centre for Mine Automation (RTCMA) works on the development and deployment of technologies that hope to deliver fully remote autonomous mining processes.
The research partnership's next phase will focus on providing an improvement in safety, predictability, precision and efficiency of typical surface mining operations through automation.
In addition to working closely with Rio Tinto, the RTCMA has also contributed to training the next generation of mining automation engineers and technicians, providing our under-graduate and post-graduate students with vital exposure to commercially relevant real-world problems.
Nanoparticles technology has many potential applications. The collaboration between our Key Centre for Polymers and Colloids (KCPC) and Sirtex Medical Ltd is investigating possible application of nanoparticles for chemotherapy treatments in solid tumours.
This ongoing collaboration started in 2003 with the simultaneous launch of two projects with KCPC, headed by Associate Professor Brian Hawkett.
In collaboration with us, Sirtex has a track record in innovation through its world-leading technology that delivers radiation therapy for terminally ill liver cancer patients.
The collaboration has taken advantage of different schemes from the federal and state governments to leverage industry contribution for research funding, through the Research Connections element of the government's $484 million Entrepreneurs' Infrastructure Program, as well as Linkage Project funding from the Australian Research Council.
Our ongoing partnership with Qantas developing flight-planning systems that will help the airline fly optimised routes, reduce fuel consumption and improve operational effectiveness is helping to pave the way for greater operational efficiency and supporting greener commercial aviation.
Managed by Professor Salah Sukkarieh from the Australian Centre for Field Robotics' (ACFR), the research has focused on how aerodynamics, flight mechanics, large-scale optimisation and machine learning algorithms can be used to design better flight-planning routines and fuel prediction models.
The partnership is now looking at building on the outcomes of the research as well as focussing on new areas of research, such as weather avoidance.
Additionally, the collaboration has allowed our students to work closely with an industrial partner to provide them with valuable commercial experience so that they can hit the ground running when they enter the workforce.
A new agreement between the University of Sydney and GE Healthcare will explore opportunities to support the research continuum, from research at the laboratory bench through to biotechnology manufacture, clinical trials, clinical imaging research, adoption by the healthcare system and wealth creation through life science and health care innovation.
This partnership builds on our review of our medical research and our multidisciplinary research initiatives, such as the Charles Perkins Centre, and represents a shared vision for improving access to affordable, quality healthcare.
Together we'll seek to add value to our expertise in obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, mental health and neuroscience, infectious diseases, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and population health services.
Besides research programs, researchers and students will also benefit from proposed industry placements, equipment training and the co-development of industry relevant courses.
We signed on to the Defence Science Partnerships program, led by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), that will enable our researchers to work in a coordinated way with the Department of Defence and national security agencies on collaborative research projects.
This program ensures a consistent approach to intellectual property and cost sharing, and through pre-agreed template agreements, our researchers have been able to proceed with this project without delay.
Involvement in the program will enable researchers to leverage funding from DSTO and other sources, share research infrastructure and work on strategically identified technology areas. These key areas include material science, electronic warfare, human sciences such as nutrition and psychology, as well as autonomous systems.
The program will play an important role in fostering a more robust innovation system.

Today the New York Times broke the news that after the Clinton Administration turned off Selective Availability in the GPS system, a bug had been introduced into the GPS satellite software itself, causing systematic and large errors in many GPS signals.
Before getting to the question, for background information here is a brief summary of just some of the issues raised by this discovery:
It turns out that whereas we thought China was located over 11,000 Km from the US, it's actually only 150 Km offshore of Southern California. One San Diego resident told the Times, "we knew there were a lot of foreign-speaking people coming here, but we all took them to be Mexicans. Who would have thought they were really Chinese? And that Chinese make such good landscape helpers?"
Economists have taken notice and are worried. IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn, contacted at a meeting in Nanjing today, remarked that "economists and business people the world over are going to have to reconsider the global relationships of supply and demand in light of this. I thought the flight over here from LA was a little shorter than it was supposed to be. Mail-order brides are going to be a dime a dozen; US women will no longer be able to compete."
Geologists are astir because the entire theory of plate tectonics is now in question. Previously they measured the speed of continental drift at just centimeters per year. Now it looks like the North American and Eurasian plates are on schedule to collide on August 23, 2012, creating a land bridge to the Far East (and completing, in some sense, Columbus's original dream). However, on the bright side, that will prevent California from falling into the sea when the Big One hits.
Here, then, is my question: As a GIS professional, what do you plan to do to check and overhaul your data holdings? What will this comprehensive change in all geospatial coordinates mean for your work?

Chris Brown's 'Fortune' Poised for No. 1 Debut
Congrats to Chris Brown! He's slated to make a, well, fortune off of 'Fortune.' The album is slated to debut at the top of the charts, making it Breezy's second No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200.
Billboard reports that 'Fortune,' Brown's fifth studio album, will be his second to top the charts in its first week, following the record's predecessor, 'F.A.M.E.' 'F.A.M.E.' moved roughly 270,000 units within its first week, while 'Fortune' is expected to sell between 125 and 140,000 copies. While it's a pretty steep drop, it's still an accomplishment — and likely more a reflection of the music industry's business model than of Brown's own merits, seeing as the public has largely (but certainly not entirely) put his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna behind them.
'Fortune' was met with a multitude of delays. The album was originally scheduled for a May release, but got pushed to July 3. Five singles have already been released from 'Fortune,' including 'Turn Up the Music,' which hit No. 10 on the Hot 100. Breezy most recently released the poppy tune 'Don't Wake Me Up,' which he performed in a medley with 'Turn Up the Music' at the 2012 BET Awards.
In addition to Brown's own hits, he's a featured artist on David Guetta's 'I Can Only Imagine' with Lil Wayne. The video was just released, and if Guetta, Weezy and Brown's track records are any indication, the song should be blowing up on radio in 3 … 2 …
Brown's earned this 'Fortune,' and good for him!

Go Green, its the best way to mitigate the energy issue. Rates are going to go up and with parity almost on the horizon, its the right time to invest
Accelerated depreciation benefit of 80% is allowed in 1st Year on investments in solar powerprojects
Get upto 90% subsidy in certain states with the MNRE giving 30% subsidy for solar power projects for inhouse consumption. Never has the administrative environment been so conducive towards Solar Energy.
Achieve payback and then have cost free electricity for the rest of the balance life of the system
Move away from polluting sources of energy like your diesel genset. Solar is way cheaper,way better and saves the environment
With diesel and elec price rising at approx 5-8% per year, it makes sense to go Solar. An average diesel genset generated unit costs apprx Rs.22 compared to that of solar at about Rs.8

Loop quantum gravity and spin foams are two closely related theories of quantum gravity. There is an expectation that the sum over histories or path integral formulation of LQG will take the form of a spin foam, although a rigorous connection between the two is available only in 2+1 gravity. Understanding the relation between them will resolve many open questions of both theories. We probe the connection through an exactly soluble model of loop quantum cosmology. Beginning from the canonical theory we construct a spin foam like expansion of LQC. This construction reveals a number of insights into spin foams including the nature of the continuum limit.

On Monday, we shared a report that Bears cornerback Charles Tillman appeared to escape serious injury in Sunday's win over the Vikings.
At that time, Tillman was thought to be dealing with a problem in his right ankle but that might not be right. Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune gives a little more color on the injury that Tillman suffered in the game. A league source tells McClure that Tillman has a chipped bone in his right foot.
The good news for the Bears is that there's no change in the outlook for Tillman the rest of the season. The cornerback, who hasn't missed a game since the 2009 season, is expected to remain in the lineup despite the injury. It's also thought that he could have returned to Sunday's game if the score was closer than 28-10.
Tillman is a contender for defensive player of the year honors this year thanks to his two interception returns for touchdowns and seven forced fumbles. Keeping him in the lineup and playing well would do a lot for the Bears' chances of remaining on top of the NFC North the rest of the way.

Summit promotes growing high-energy plants
Posted on Saturday, October 11, 2008
URL: http://www.nwanews.com/nwat/News/69979/
Northwest Arkansas Times Fayetteville's first ever Sustainability Summit brought more than 300 people to the city's center to talk about ways organizations can become more environmentally friendly. One way discussed was a switch from conventional diesel fuel to the use of bioenergybased fuel. Jim Wimberly with BioEnergy System LLC in Fayetteville talked about the energy-efficient idea at a small breakout session during the summit. " Agriculture and energy are so intertwined, " Wimberly said.
He said the idea is to start promoting the growth of high-energy yielding plants that can be processed and manufactured into a full spectrum of energy projects, including fuel for automobiles.
" In essence, plants are batteries, " he said. " They store energy through photosynthesis. "
Arkansas provides a large amount of natural resources to make bioenergy manufacturing a reality, Wimberly said, and if the state takes an active interest in the concept, it could cut in half its yearly 1 billion gallons of petroleum used each year.
" It would take just under a million acres of herbaceous energy crops (crops high in energy ) to displace half of that diesel used, " he said.
Wimberly said a lot of research is being done on soybeans to create biodiesel, and that it's a good fuel. However, he said fuel users need to broaden their horizons.
" We need to quit being worried about planting a future around traditional approaches to biofuel, " he said.
The state has the forest and farmland to support biofuel operations, which makes it already an attractive location to bioenergy companies, Wimberly said, but Arkansas and its cities need to work towards sealing the deal with the green fuel producers.
" We are in competition with neighboring states, " Wimberly said.
Financial incentives as well as getting state landowners and far mers on board with the idea could be the key, Wimberly said.
" It's not going to happen unless (farmers ) can make at least as much money as they do growing traditional crops, " he said.

Perry lands TV role as prison guard
Pop star KATY PERRY is set for a spell behind bars - as a tough-talking TV prison guard in hit U.S. comedy RAISING HOPE.
The Firework hitmaker will join the cast of creator Greg Garcia's Emmy-nominated TV series for the upcoming 6 March (12) episode - and the singer has her best friend, Raising Hope star Shannon Woodward, to thank for landing her the role.
In a fun statement, the estranged wife of comedian Russell Brand says, "Shannon Woodward is my best friend. A couple weeks ago, I was home, just toasting up a frozen chicken fillet when she called me up and asked if I wanted to do something 'fun' for a change and try out a guest role on her TV show. I thought, 'Sure, I have nothing else to do, and I like chillin' with my best friend.'
"Greg was nice, but I hope he's not secretly sabotaging my potential future career by typecasting me in the role of just a looker, so that I would never be able to play anything more challenging."
An equally entertaining statement from executive producer Garcia reads: "Shannon Woodward told me that her friend Katy was interested in doing an episode and I thought, 'Why not? Let's do your friend Katy a favour.'
"Then she came in and did a terrific job. She was hilarious. And now people are telling me that Katy is also a singer. I sincerely hope that her appearance on the show helps her get her singing career off the ground. It's a tough business."
