Hi all,
I'm trying to learn font design by closely studying the works of the masters. To that end, I've traced Century Catalogue from the ATF library. This version is scaled for 18pt size; I'm probably going to use this as a testbed font for my wacky ideas about how to do optical scaling.
I believe this is a fairly faithful rendering of the original ATF metal font. Of course, that means there are a bunch of things I would do differently — lengthen the top of the f, make the descenders a little longer (with, perhaps, some strengthening of the lower bowl of the g), and probably making the serifs on the u more "modern".
I can imagine using this font to do math books; it feels like a cleaner cousin of Monotype Old Style No. 2 that was used by, among others, Letterproef Van de Garde to do, in my opinion, some of the finest math typesetting in print.
Criticism is welcome.
ATF Century Catalogue
Primary tabs
I can't tell how close to the original this is, since I'm not too familiar with the original (and the '23 ATF specimen I used to have is back at UCLA).
Revivals: I rarely like them, but if you're going to do this I think your idea to try to improve it will save it from banality. On the other hand, it takes an experienced hand to improve on such a good design, so stay on your toes — and don't do anything drastic! :-)
Besides the "f" I can't see any lc glyph that really needs help. And I wouldn't lengthen the descenders (at least not for the text sizes), because you'd be wasting setting economy with little gain in return. A good way to determine vertical proportions is this: the "g" should look slightly cramped*. The biggest thing I might change would be making the caps smaller. And what about the numerals? I might make them hybrids.
* Which actually ties in to the "ugliness" I was talking about elsewhere.
Compared to the sample in McGrew this is lighter and the spacing is different.
McGrew's American Metal Typefaces explains that Century Catalogue is Century Old Style with taller ascenders. —The descenders look longer also. MF Benton was such a great craftsman, that I suspect trying to change it will be a lesson in how smart his decisions were. Font Bureau has successfully revived and expanded a lot of Benton stuff, with great craftsmanship, so be sure to study what they have done. You've chosen a terrific face to work on.
Thanks for the comments and encouragement.
If you look closely, you'll see that, while Century Catalogue is clearly based on Century Oldstyle, there are more differences than the length of ascenders and descenders (yes; Oldstyle has short descenders to the point of stubbiness). Overall, it is both lighter and has increased contrast between thick and thin strokes. Individual glyphs have been updated thus:
lower bowl of g is more like the classical, calligraphic design than the somewhat "Hershey's Kiss" shape in Oldstyle
s and z serifs are more vertical
U and H are wider
C stress is more vertical
design of Q is Baskervillian, Oldstyle's is same as Century Expanded
$ has two vertical strokes
The italic tells an entirely different story than the roman, however; it's more clearly based on Baskerville Italic than Century Oldstyle Italic. Overall, the main differences are that Century Catalogue Italic is expanded a fair amount, and the descenders have been shortened. Other than that, there are very few differences except that the exaggerated slant of A V and W has been removed.
Overall, I really like the effect of all the differences in the Roman; it seems to combine the comfort of Century Oldstyle with the more refined atmosphere of fine printing in the style of Baskerville.
By the way, I've placed 200dpi scans of Century Oldstyle (and a number of other pages of the 1923 ATF catalouge) online here: http://levien.com/type/atf_1923/
I can make high quality 2400 dpi scans available to anyone interested; the roughly 30M per page filesize makes me reluctant to just throw them up on the server.
Ralph, if you could make me a 2400 dpi scan of the Garamond (only the stuff that's 14 point and below) from the '23 that would be really nice of you.
BTW, the JPEG artefacting on those 200dpi scans is pretty major… Here's a quick routine I've come up with to make type specimen scanning both accurate and lean. You can find it here:
(Monday, August 11, 2003 — 1:04 pm)
Ralph, I just bought this:
(And I checked in advance: it is the ATF.)
I could loan it to you if you like.
BTW, spooky: That was apparently the 3rd in a series, and the 2nd one was about… ATF Bodoni! The 2nd one is available through Oak Knoll, but it's $45. Wait… Bookfinder is showing a few copies, for between $29 and $49.
Uh oh, please don't get me started buying these things right now. I have enough pressures on my funds as it is!
But for those who do feel like spending money, this item would seem to be well considered:
So I just got that Garamond booklet — it's pretty nice. It actually contains great samples of both the ATF and the Monotype. I presume that the Bodoni one does the same thing.
I've been working on this pretty steadily, improving what I've got and adding more glyphs. You can see a snapshot below:
I've also made the FontForge source for this font, as well as my other fonts-in-progress, on my web page: levien.com/type/myfonts/.

1 Sing praise to God who reigns above,
the God of all creation,
the God of power, the God of love,
the God of our salvation.
My soul with comfort rich he fills,
and every grief he gently stills:
to God all praise and glory!
2 What God's almighty power has made,
in mercy he is keeping;
by morning glow or evening shade
his eye is never sleeping.
And where he rules in kingly might,
there all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 We sought the Lord in our distress;
O God, in mercy hear us.
Our Savior saw our helplessness
and came with peace to cheer us.
For this we thank and praise the Lord,
who is by one and all adored:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Let all who name Christ's holy name
give God the praise and glory.
Let all who know his power proclaim
aloud the wondrous story.
Cast every idol from its throne;
the Lord is God, and he alone:
to God all praise and glory!

Johann J. Schütz (b. Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany, 1640; d. Frankfurt-am-Main, 1690) wrote the original German text in nine stanzas, which began, "Sei Lob und Ehr' dem hochsten Gut." The text was published in his Christliches Gedenckbüchlein (1675) with the heading "Hymn of Thanksgiving" and with a reference to Deuteronomy 32:3: "I will proclaim the name of the Lord; O praise the greatness of our God!"
Trained at Tübingen, Schutz practiced law in Frankfurt his entire professional life. He was a close friend of Philipp Jakob Spener, the major force in the Pietist movement in Germany. The Pietists criticized the formalism of the Lutheran Church, stressed conversion and personal piety, and became famous for their prayer meetings and orphanages. Schutz was among the Pietists who left the Lutheran Church in 1686 to join the Moravians. His hymn texts were published in Christliche Gedenckbüchlein (1675) and Christliche Leuensregeln (1677), but only his "Sing Praise to God" is found today in English-language hymnals.
The translation by Francis Elizabeth Cox (b. Oxford, England, 1812; d. Headington, England, 1897) was published in Orby Shipley's Lyra Eucharistica and in Cox's Hymns from the German (both 1864). Cox wrote a number of original hymns, but few of these have survived; instead she is known for her translations of German hymns into English. She translated about eighty texts, many of which were published in her 1864 collection. Her choice of hymns was often determined by her friend, Baron Bunsen, the Prussian ambassador to England. Cox and Catherine Winkworth (PHH 194) are regarded as the best translators of German chorales into English.
Stanzas 14 in the Psalter Hymnal are derived from Cox's translation of the original stanzas 1, 3, 4, and 8. The text is an expansion in hymn form of the Old Testament theme found in the psalms: "God is great, and God is good!" As we sing, we affirm his power in creation, his love in redemption, his mercy toward his people, and the comfort he gives to those in grief. He is truly God, steadfast in mercy and abounding in love. For all these blessings we offer "to God all praise and glory!"
Liturgical Use:
As a hymn of thanksgiving and praise for God's providential care, especially for deliverance, comfort, and peace of mind (the "distress" in st. 3 could be seen as personal or corporate, local or national); funerals.
--Psalter Hymnal Handbook
MIT FREUDEN ZART has some similarities to the French chanson "Une pastourelle gentille" (published by Pierre Attaingnant in 1529) and to GENEVAN 138 (138). The tune was published in the Bohemian Brethren hymnal Kirchengesänge (1566) with Vetter's text "Mit Freuden zart su dieser Fahrt."
Splendid music for a great text, this rounded bar form tune (AABA) is one of the great hymn tunes of the Reformation. Sing the outer stanzas in unison and the middle ones in harmony, although the final phrase, "to God all praise and glory," could be sung consistently in unison.

(1) A New York Club
The Evening Session Science Fiction Society of the City College of New York met on Friday evenings in CCNY's Finley Student Center. The club's cumbersome name was routinely abbreviated to "Sci-Fi," evidence perhaps of its less-than-sercon attitude toward science fiction. Like other college-based SF clubs of the time, its business meetings were considerably more drawn out than necessary, prolonged by punning, mock parliamentary procedure, and other manifestations of young fans reveling in their eccentricity. But there was more to the club than fooling around.
The subsidy that Sci-Fi received from the CCNY student government was generous enough to allow inviting the occasional guest speaker. This was more often than not Randall Garrett under one of his many pseudonyms; after his talk he would translate the five dollars allotted to buy him dinner into a few pitchers of beer at the HiLite Bar a few blocks away on Broadway, home of Sci-Fi's convivial post-meeting gatherings. Sometimes the evening's program was a film, usually a Republic serial with a title something like "Flying Disk Man from Mars." All twelve episodes would be shown in one evening, with the bridge fanatics in the audience scrambling between reels to a makeshift card table to get in a hand or two while the projectionist was getting the next part ready. Toward the end of the school year members would argue passionately how to cast the club's corporate vote for the Hugo awards.
Few of Sci-Fi's members were actually enrolled at the School of General Studies of the College of the City of New York, but there were enough genuine Evening Session students to hold the required offices. This guaranteed meeting space and speaker fees. Otherwise the club had little contact with the college, and less interest in the internal politics of its student government. Its members were interested in science fiction, in Fandom, and in each other.
Jake Waldman was president of the club during the early 1960s. Other active members included Al Schuster, Belle Dietz, Amy Wolfthal, Fred Lerner, Elliot Shorter, Jake Waldman, John Boardman, Ed Meskys, Bruce Newrock, Charlie Brown, Marsha Elkin (later Brown), Stu Brownstein, Judi Sephton, Barry Greene, and Joan Neufeld (later Serrano).

Psychotherapy should ideally be a fun and interesting process of self-exploration. It is often helpful to have a neutral (but supportive) person with whom to discuss your concerns. You should be able to take away something helpful, whether an idea, concept, or a new way of looking at an issue or pattern in your life. It doesn't have to take forever - you should feel within the first session that the therapist generally "got it" and was able to say something helpful to you.
West Chester 19382
It is critical that you develop a connected and trusting relationship with your therapist. That you feel safe and understood. When this relationship is formed, healing often begins. I am very influenced by positive psychology and neuroscience (the science of the brain). The concept of neuro-plasticity - that our brains can heal and improve at every age - offers hope and a guide to achieving the changes we desire.

Yankees plan for the weekend: Wait for Joe
Major League Baseball has four playoff games going on today, but it's Alex Rodriguez who stole the show. That'll happen when one of the game's most high-profile players sues the league, then sues his own team's physician. At least the summer of A-Rod craziness somewhat prepared us for this sort of day.
But if you're looking for news that might have a more immediate resolution, there's this tidbit: The Yankees have made an offer to Joe Girardi, attempting to bring him back as the team's manager. The news has been obviously overshadowed, but a source told me earlier today — and by the looks of Twitter, a few others heard the same — that an offer is on the table.
Now it's time to wait.
It's Girardi's move. I wonder what the binder says about contract offers.

Official Title ICMJE | Augmenting Language Therapy for Aphasia: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Levodopa in Combination With Speech-Language Therapy | ||
Brief Summary | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication levodopa, in combination with speech-language treatment, on the language outcome of study subjects with nonfluent aphasia (i.e. difficulty with the comprehension and expression of spoken and written language) following a stroke. | ||
Detailed Description | Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of disability in the United States. According to the American Stroke Association, the prevalence of stroke in the U.S. is approximately 4.8 million with approximately 700,000 additional strokes occurring annually. Approximately 150,000 to 250,000 stroke survivors becoming severely and permanently disabled each year. A common neurological deficit among stroke survivors, and thus a substantial contributor to post-stroke disability, is aphasia. The loss of, or difficulty with language is extremely debilitating and has enormous social and economic impact on quality of life. Presently, the only treatment available for persons with aphasia is speech-language rehabilitation. With rehabilitation only, however, many patients achieve a less than satisfactory improvement in speech-language function, and thus are left with significant disability. To enhance motor and language recovery in patients with neurological impairments, interest in the use of novel biological therapies, including pharmacological agents, has recently emerged. There is preliminary evidence that increased levels of dopamine, in combination with language treatment, may improve the deficits of aphasia following stroke. Most studies have investigated the adjunctive effects of the dopamine agonist bromocriptine, with mixed results. However, new evidence is suggesting that levodopa, a precursor to dopamine, may be more effective in promoting language learning. This study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of levodopa in study subjects with Broca's aphasia after stroke, delivered concurrent with speech-language rehabilitation. The language changes in subjects who receive speech and language therapy combined with levodopa will be compared to that of subjects who receive the same speech-language rehabilitation but with a placebo (i.e. a pill that does not contain the study drug, levodopa). The two study groups will be compared to determine the degree to which improvements in language performance occur and the degree to which they are maintained over time. The protocol is double-blind: neither subjects nor researchers will know whether a subject took levodopa or placebo until the study's conclusion. |

Automotive Power Management ICs (PMICs) | Cypress Semiconductor
Automotive Power Management ICs (PMICs)
Cypress's Automotive PMIC solutions are designed to meet the needs of modern ECUs. They are very compact, and are able to tolerate extreme battery voltage fluctuations while providing stable and reliable power. They extend battery life due to their low quiescent current consumption, and they offer features that support System Safety Functions that protect ECU electronics against harsh conditions.
Compact, Low-power, Highly Integrated Automotive Power Management Solution
Industry-leading compact solution
Start-stop systems, along with Load Dump and Cold Cranking conditions, cause extreme battery voltage transients below the voltage that electronic ICs typically utilize. This forces traditional buck type PMICs to use a pre-conditioning filter with bulky, expensive electrolytic capacitors. Cypress's Automotive PMICs are buck-boost type PMICs that don't require electrolytic capacitors. Furthermore, they integrate external components such as switching transistors, output voltage setting resistors, and phase compensation circuits. So you get a power management solution that reduces BOM and easily fits into small systems.
Tolerate extreme battery voltage fluctuations with stable and reliable power
Automobile battery voltages can vary from 3 volts up to 35 volts as specified in ISO16750-2. Cypress's Automotive PMICs tolerate these voltages, while providing stable and reliable power with minimal undershoot and overshoot.
Extend battery life
"Always-on" functions such as keyless entry must continuously operate while the engine is off. Cypress's Automotive PMICs consume very little power on standby and is extremely battery-friendly.
Support System Safety Functions
ECUs are now used for critical systems. They must be protected against harsh thermal and electrical conditions to ensure proper operation. Cypress Automotive PMICs support System Safety Functions by providing input voltage supervisors, output voltage/current supervisors, thermal management, and watch-dog timers to protect ECUs from damage and erroneous operation.
Cypress's web-based Easy DesignSim™ simulation and verification tool offers users an automated way to quickly iterate their analog circuit design and generate a bill of materials list. Evaluation kits are also available that will help test and evaluate your design.

The light hits her crystal earrings, gleams off their golden settings, refracts onto her face in greens and reds and blues -- greens to reflect her eyeshadow; reds to match her lipstick; blue to match the bags beneath her eyes which struggle to stay open so late. She wears a silver ring on each finger, and as she removes them, grayish grime coats her knuckles. She wears a black camisole whose straps threaten to break, jeans cinctured tight about her waist.
Perhaps one night the gold from those earrings will melt and those crystals will break and slice the straps as they fall in snowy shards, and tears will wash the paint from her eyes, and the belt will slip from her waist and the lipstick will rub off as she kisses me once, twice, fifty times, until I lose count; and I shall be able to see her as she truly is before the darkness takes her from my sight. And perhaps one day she will feel at ease even with my eyes upon her.

Americans want gutsy, unwavering leadership on the war on terrorism, judges who won't make laws, energy independence and a government that cuts taxes and spends less of their money. Above all, they want a president and a Congress that will lead the world and not be led by world opinion. Those were some of the lessons an emboldened Republican Party took away from Tuesday night's election results, as the GOP held on to the White House for another four years and padded its House and Senate majorities. |
| ||||
Calling the election "historic," Sen. George Allen (Va.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said voters across the country had "sent a message" to Democrats who favor "obstructionism and petty partisanship." Allen cited former Rep. John ThuneJohn ThuneLawmakers want infrastructure funded by offshore tax reform Senate GOP hedges on ObamaCare repeal timeline Week ahead: Robocall crackdown tops FCC meeting agenda MORE's victory over Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle in South Dakota as Exhibit A. Other Republicans said the 2004 election marked the culmination of the conservative revolution launched nearly a quarter-century ago with the election of Ronald Reagan to the White House. Noting that "the Democratic Party dominated politics from the 1920s to the late '70s," Sean Conway, chief of staff for Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.), said this election "adds fuel to the argument that the Republican Party has become the majority party. "What it says is the Democrats still, in large portions of this country, are not reaching people. I'm talking about the South. I'm talking about suburban areas. I'm talking about the Rocky Mountain region." In a conference call with reporters yesterday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) seemed to accept Conway's contention that the Democrats had become cordoned off from the vast bulk of Americans living west of the Hudson River and east of Hollywood. Feinstein said the Democrats must expand their Western base by moving beyond the West Coast — with its liberal enclaves of yuppies, actors, artists, beachgoers and New Economy entrepreneurs — and build a more solid foundation stretching from the interior of California to Colorado. Referring to Senate Minority Whip Harry ReidHarry ReidThis obscure Senate rule could let VP Mike Pence fully repeal ObamaCare once and for all Sharron Angle to challenge GOP rep in Nevada Fox's Watters asks Trump whom he would fire: Baldwin, Schumer or Zucker MORE (D-Nev.), who hopes to succeed defeated Minority Leader Tom Daschle (S.D.), Feinstein said: "I've agreed to support Harry Reid for leader because I feel so strongly that the interests of Western states are so alike, and they are kind of built on the values of the West, historical values, practical values." For the most part, Democrats yesterday were stunned, wounded and, most of all, unsure of what to do next. After a year of pounding the president on the economy, the war in Iraq, the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, the flu-vaccine shortage and anything else they could throw at him, many Democrats were convinced that the Oval Office and control of the Senate were within reach. Some, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Rep. Bob Matsui (Calif.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, had even predicted that their party would retake the House, a goal that even many Democratic consultants considered out of reach. On Election Day, Democrats were borderline giddy at the prospect of sending President Bush back to Texas. Sen. John KerryJohn KerryCongress, Trump need a united front to face down Iran One year ago today we declared ISIS atrocities as genocide Trump's realism toward Iran is stabilizing force for Middle East MORE's standing in battleground-state polls, a vast get-out-the-vote operation from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt, a huge voter turnout and early exit polls that showed Kerry beating Bush heightened their excitement. But shortly after the polls closed, West Virginia slipped into the president's column, then Florida and then, sometime in the middle of the night, Ohio. One Democratic aide noted the party also failed to pick up House seats in Connecticut and Pennsylvania — key targets — meaning Democrats were unable to counter GOP gains in Texas, where redistricting cost four Democratic incumbents their jobs. "They need to figure out what's in their party's electoral interest given the very clear minority position of the party," said Sarah Binder, a political scientist and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She added: "I don't see them rolling over and playing dead. They have the rules of the Senate on their side. They need to pick their issue really carefully, given the Republican gains." But Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) said the Democratic losses reflected a "deep disconnect" with millions of Americans. Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.), who earned a mention in the history books as Florida's secretary of state during the protracted 2000 recount, said Democrats had offered Americans nothing but "hatred and bitterness." But Democrats portrayed their criticism of Bush as an impassioned, and thoughtful, refutation of the president's foreign policy, especially the Iraq war, as well as a plea, they said, for a more humane domestic policy. Vice-presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) made that clear as he introduced Kerry for his concession speech in Boston yesterday, declaring that the "fight rages on." |

Nunsense begins when the Little Sisters of Hoboken discover that their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, has accidentally poisoned 52 of the sisters, and they are in dire need of funds for the burials. The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth grade production of "Grease." Here we meet Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hubert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

5 Social Media Marketing Trends: New Research
Are you being asked to prove the value of social media for your business?
Do you struggle to accurately measure the return on investment (ROI) of your social media marketing?
You're not alone. Several new research studies reveal that marketing managers are under increased pressure to show measurable results from their social media efforts.
But these same managers indicate that measuring the returns is one of their top two challenges for 2012.
See how your experience compares to others in the industry.
#1: The Benefits Derived from Social Media are Increasing
In a survey of 700 marketers from all over the globe, Wildfire App discovered that nearly all marketers find value from social media and that 75% of marketers plan to increase their media spending in 2012.
The top two benefits highlighted by these marketers are increased brand awareness and the ability to engage in dialogue directly with their customers. This compares similarly to the 2011 Social Media Marketing Industry Report where we found 88% of marketers also indicated increased exposure to be the number-one benefit of social media marketing.
Small businesses have reached a tipping point in social media use where only 10% of small businesses surveyed in the Ad-ology 2012 Marketing Forecast said they would not use social media marketing in 2012. That's down from 24% in 2011 and 39% in 2010.
- As you look at these results, where has your business benefited the most from social media?
- How do you know that's true?
#2: More Businesses are Investing in Social Media
Borrell Associates found that small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) will double their social media advertising budget in 2012. That's up to an estimated $2 billion in the U.S. alone.
Awareness Networks found in their State of Social Media Marketing study that 70% of businesses plan to expand their social media presence, while half of marketers intend to improve their social media management practices and tools.
Although businesses are increasing their investment in social media, they are more reluctant to put large advertising budgets toward it. Awareness found that 75% of businesses spend $10,000 or less, with most businesses solely investing people's time toward the effort.
Even with people being the primary resource dedicated to social media, most businesses are only employing a small staff for their social efforts, with nearly three-fourths of businesses using 3 or fewer employees.
With limited budgets and staffs, it's no wonder that marketers found resources to be their number-one challenge to their social media efforts.
- Have you moved past the experimentation stage with social media marketing?
- What value are you seeing from advertising?
#3: Measuring ROI is One of the Top Challenges Faced by Marketers
Awareness found that marketers from companies of all sizes, experience levels and positions shared the same struggle in accurately measuring the ROI for social media marketing. As a result, nearly half of the surveyed marketers are not purposefully measuring their social efforts.
This compares similarly to research conducted by Altimeter Group of big brands using social media. They found that a vast majority of brands don't have a thoughtful social media measurement system in place.
So What are Companies Measuring? What is Working?
Awareness found most businesses know how to track their social presence and traffic, but the confidence declines when measuring lead generations and sales.
- A series of white papers from HootSuite on measuring social media ROI, co-authored by Nichole Kelly.
- An article Nichole Kelly wrote for Social Media Examiner on 8 metrics your business should consider.
- A review of Altimeter's measurement framework I wrote.
#4: Marketing Agencies View the Value of Social Media Marketing Differently
As an interesting contrast to a company's perception of social media's value, Marketing Sherpa surveyed marketing agencies to understand how they calculate the value of social media for their clients.
The survey found that social media clearly helps search results for many businesses, but the largest majority of companies benefit from posting content on their company blog. This is especially helpful when integrated with social sharing buttons.
This survey perhaps clarifies why many businesses are reluctant to invest their advertising dollars on social sites. Marketing agencies see the least value derived from advertisements.
- Have you incorporated social sharing buttons throughout your website?
- What is your content sharing plan for 2012?
- Have you given social advertising long enough to truly test it?
- How does your experience with advertising compare to these marketing agencies?
#5: An Integrated Social Media Plan Leads to Greater Financial Results
Insites Consulting conducted some new research with over 400 senior-level marketing managers in the U.S. and U.K. They learned some fascinating things about social media adoption rates, but here we focus on their integration findings.
Significantly less than half of the enterprises surveyed have fully integrated social media into their business processes (or are even in process of doing so), 43% of U.S. firms and 34% of U.K. firms responded.
A full 57% of U.K. businesses are just getting started or are evaluating the effectiveness of social media strategies, compared to 43% of U.S. firms.
Smaller enterprises have achieved lower levels of integration. (NOTE: this study was conducted with brands large enough to employ the services of a marketing agency like Insites Consulting.)
The key observation made by Insites is that firms that have integrated social media into their regular business operations are seeing significantly greater financial results than those that have not.
Now It's Your Turn
How does your experience compare to these studies? Leave your questions and comments in the box below.

The Oxen Report: Jobless Claims Drop Only Slightly and Miss Estimates, Will It Weigh on Market?
Yesterday, we got into an Overnight Trade of the Day in New York & Co. (NWY) at 4.34. We are looking to sell this Trade right away this morning within minutes of opening. The company reported an EPS right in line with what analysts had been expecting, which was not exactly what I had expected. What is good news, though, is that headlines are playing up that NWY swung to a Q4 profit. Swinging to a profit is a very lucrative term, so we should be in business. The stock is not traded pre-market, so I have no idea where the market wants to take this, but I am thinking we should make some good money off the start of the day.
For today, I am looking at a perfect short sale for a market that may be ready for a bit of a pullback.
Short Sale of the Day: Steinmart Inc. (SMRT)
Analysis: Today, the market should be in store for a pullback. We have a number of indicators that have come out and are buzzing around that are not too great fundamentally for the market. First off, unemployment claims. While the number has decreased week-over-week for three straight weeks, unemployment claims missed target estimates by 2,000 and are still very high – only declining 5,000 from last week and sitting at 457,000. The chart below explains the dismal employment state further.

Another issue the market is facing going into today is renewed issues with Greek debt. The country has once again commented on the need for more international assistance to help them with debt issues. Many European markets were down or are trading with very slight gains as a result of this news. Futures are up going into the day, but once some market buzz at the beginning of the day dies off, initial claims and a very toppy market should weigh on stocks.
In case it does not, however, I have selected a short sale that should do well either way. Steinmart, this morning, continued the retail trend with some really sexy earnings. The company reported an EPS beat 0.19 vs. 0.17 and beat revenue estimates by over 1%. The earnings, however, were not exceptional, and the stock is up over 7% in pre-market trading. Revenue was down 6% year-over-year.
The stock has moved up way too much on these earnings and even more so when looking at the technicals on short term. The stock was majorly overbought going into earnings, and the stock had priced in earnings, increasing 25% in two weeks. SMRT was right at its upper bollinger band, and the 7% increase has skyrocketed the stock. Now, it is in the middle of a breakout with expanding bands, but it really cannot maintain that sort of gains. Profit taking is going to occur.
I have adjusted earnings to allow for even more gains, especially since futures are up slightly. I think this one will get a small pop and die off.
Entry: We are looking for an entry at 10.35 – 10.45.
Exit: We are looking to cover for a 2-3% gain.
Stop Buy: 3% on top of entry.
Good Investing,
David Ristau

Hi everyone! Well, today I managed to squeeze a bit of time to make a card. Still have to unpack and there is laundry in the washer AND dryer, but hey, I haven't made a card in about a week and just HAD to -kwim?
This card is for today's SCS sketch challenge. I decided to try my hand at covering some raw chipboard. I was inspired when I found 2 cute packages in the dollar section of J's from Colorbox. I have always been a bit stumped on how to cover these little buggars, but it was actually pretty easy. I glued them to DP, trimmed it with my craft knife and then sanded the edges. Time consuming, but easy.
I used SU! Raspberry Tart DP and some buttons from Pinkhedgehog Papercrafts. The sentiment is from the SU! Bright Delight rub-ons pack. The left side is embossed with a border embossing folder from the Cuttlebug Frills package. I then colored the embossed parts with prismacolor pencils -not too sure how I like it. There is alot going on with this card -LOL! But, it was fun to make a card, it has been too long!
I also have a couple of cards I made for last month's Verve release that I have yet to post. This first card uses my current favorite flower from Verve, the sunburst image from Wishful Elegance and the sentiment is from Because of You. I stamped the backgrounder on white in Pink Pirouette, creating my own DP. I colored the flower with Copics and used some Say It With Crystals by Prima in the center. I put tiny dots of stickles in each center of the pink background stamp. Very lovely IRL.
This next card is one of my favorites! I just love how the flowers, buttons and felt border came together. The large flower is the Plain Jane Elegant Flower and the smaller flowers and sentiment are from Because of You. The felt border and buttons are from Cosmo Cricket (from the uber kit I bought off QVC). I took the felt center stars and used them on the tag and bottom right corner. The DP is Pink Paislee.
Card Deets (sketch card):
Stamps - none
Paper - white, Rose red, Raspberry tart dp
Ink - none
Accessories - prismacolor pencils, gamsol, Frills border EP, rose red grosgrain, chipboard, buttons
Card Deets (Sister):
Stamps - Wishful Elegance and Because of You (for sentiment)
Paper - Pink Pirouette (SU!), Lemon Tart and white (Papertrey Ink)
Ink - Pink Pirouette, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Scalloped border punch (SU!), Stardust Stickles (Ranger), Copic markers, Say it in Crystals -flowers (Prima)
Card Deets (Friend):
Stamps - Plain Jane Elegant Flower and Because of You
Ink - Purely Pomegranite, Baja Breeze, More Mustard, Black (all SU!)
Paper - White, Pink Paisley DP

| HD4870 performs on par with GTX260.... but Radeon 4870 to sell for 229 €226 vs €399 pricetag! sometimes it does this: which is very nice... other side of the medal: summing things up: on par with GTX260, ~10% slower than GTX280. Not bad at all, just look at that price!

| ATi RV770 - Architecture Overview As an opener to our launch day coverage, we'll be taking a plunge into the RV770 and seeing what what is new, what has changed, what stays the same (quickie note: not much) and how it all fits together. We'll also check and see if we can actually achieve the theoretical numbers using a number of synthetic tests ... don't worry, the whole gaming enchilada will soon follow, we haven't lost our focus. http://www.rage3d.com/reviews/video/.../architecture/ |

| AMD finally reveals the Radeon 4800 GPU AMD has been through some rough times the last year. Not only have they lagged behind with their processors compared to Intel but they also have not been able to compete at the enthusiast level with their ATI graphics cards. It was therefore quite interesting to attend to their briefing in Malaga, Spain a few weeks ago where they presented their new HD 4000-GPUs. For the first time in a year or so AMD had a briefing which was filled with confidence and which left at least me with a feeling that AMD was very optimistic with what they were presenting for us journalist. The product they were presenting was of course the new HD 4000 series of GPUs. In focus was the HD 4850 and the HD 4870 but we also got some information for the R700 which I expect will be called something like HD 4870X2. These are the GPUs that AMD are hoping will strike a big blow to NVIDIAs market share. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1301 |

| AMD Radeon HD 4800 series technology analysis While the Radeon HD 4850 launched early last week due to boards slipping out into the retail channel, today is the true big day for AMD's next-generation graphics architecture, as the lid is lifted on their flagship Radeon HD 4870 part as well as the technology which powers the RV770 core utilised by these boards. To that end, in this article we delve into AMD's RV770 architecture, to see both what it offers over its predecessors and also how it marks a sea-change in the way AMD will be competing in the 3D graphics performance race from now on. Starting out with the basics of the core being launched officially today, we find that RV770 follows AMD's previous RV670 part in using the latest 55 nanometre manufacturing process. While this part can't quite reach the billion transistor level sported by NVIDIA's GT200 core, it isn't all that far off, with a total transistor count of 956 million, against the 666 million transistors used by the Radeon HD 3800 series. This increase in specification and transistors also sees die size increase over RV670 as you would expect, with RV770 clocking in at 260mm squared against the 190mm squared die of RV670. This still absolutely pales into comparison with the vast die size of NVIDIA's GT200, which weighs in at absolutely massive 576mm squared. http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/ind...84&Item id=31 |

| ATI Radeon HD 4850 and 4870: RV770 Has Arrived Last week, due to some unexpected circumstances, we were able to post a sneak peek of the RV770 GPU and ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. As our limited testing showed, the Radeon HD 4850 was quite promising for a $199 graphics card. But we weren't able to tell the complete story. While the initial benchmarks definitely looked good, there was a lot more to talk about in regard to the Radeon HD 4850 and the RV770 GPU at the heart of the card. Today we can finally spill the rest of the beans. You see, AMD didn't plan to officially announce just one new Radeon HD 4800 series card this week, but two, with a dash of information about a third thrown in for good measure. Today marks the official arrival of not only the Radeon HD 4850, but the higher-end Radeon HD 4870 as well. As we've already explained, one card - the Radeon HD 4850 - is targeted at the sub-$200 price point. The other, however, is a $299 screamer that makes use of some cutting edge technology, like GDDR5 memory. Come on by the site and check them out... http://www.hothardware.com/articles/...70_Has_Arrived |

| Palit Radeon HD4870 512MB Graphics Card Review It has been a hard two years for ATI and we know that many people out there have been counting down the days until the boys in red returned to competitiveness. Well ladies and gents, the wait is over because the HD4870 has shown us that ATI has come out with all guns blazing. While the HD3870 and HD3850 were popular cards which have been able to compete on a number of fronts with their Nvidia counterparts, we are quickly coming to realize that they were nothing more than technology demonstrators for the 55nm manufacturing process. This process has now blossomed into full maturity with the R770-series cards which seem set to take the graphics card world by storm. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...rd-review.html |

A few years back a school principal from New Albany, Denver McFadden, who was a member of the State Board of Education, was busted on similar charges in the same restroom while taking a break from a board meeting he was attending in Indianapolis.

I believe the Democratic County Chair (or Central Cmte) can appoint a party candidate for the fall election if nobody files for the primary ... or does the Chair merely have replacement power if a primary winner dies?
- Advance Indiana said...
I believe either the county chairman or a caucus of the committeeman can fill the vacancy with a candidate if they act before June 30.
- Jeff Newman said...
A warning to gay men: there is entrapment going on at Circle Center. An acquaintance of mine was ensnared, but as an immigrant (legal), he was scared of the system and didn't fight it.
If you are in a Circle Center restroom, DON'T exchange glances with men in the restrooms and don't talk to them. If they hit on you (which is what the cops are doing), don't suggest going home or elsewhere, and sure as hell don't do anything there, WALK AWAY. You will otherwise end up in handcuffs. - 8:41 AM GMT-5
- Doug said...
So was the guy masturbating in front of the cop or with the door open or was the cop peeking into stalls or what?
I know a family publication like the Star doesn't really want to get too graphic, but the missing details would really inform me as to whether the county official was the problem or the cop was the problem in this situation. - 9:45 AM GMT-5
- Jeff Newman said...
We'll never know--the vice cops working at Circle Center play loose with the truth, presenting a likely homophobic judge with the option of believing the cop or the queer.
All I know is the acquaintance I spoke of was approached by the cop, not the other way around, and there was no sex or masturbation involved. He (the acquaintance) has spoken candidly of other sexual escapades, so I don't think he had reason to lie about this one.
Moral of the story is cruising for sex is a dangerous sport, especially in Indiana, and the law doesn't play fair. - 11:26 AM GMT-5
- Advance Indiana said...
That's not real clear from the news report--only that he was doing it. When an Evansville TV station called his office and asked about it, the employees knew nothing of the arrest; only that there boss was in Indy for a meeting.
- Advance Indiana said...
Jeff-I would not doubt that police officers sometimes entrap these guys, but let's face it--there are private clubs people can go to and engage in this type of conduct without risk of arrest. People should keep their sexual urges intact when they are in a public place, whether straight or gay.I'm frankly getting sick and tired of the obscene trolling by married men in the Jordan YMCA lockerroom. Frankly, I don't want to see some disgusting overweight married guy wanking in the sauna. I've personally reported one of the creeps there to a cop; he should have been busted. Instead, he was banned for a short time and then allowed back where he's doing the same disgusting things.
- Jeff Newman said...
Oh, I don't disagree at all Gary. Public sex and whacking off is tacky and gross, and neither gay or straight people should have to be subjected to it.
But in the case I referred to at Circle Center, again assuming the acquaintance I mentioned was being truthful (which, if you heard some of this stuff he's admitted to I can't imagine he wasnt), the cop was in the wrong.
They did the gaydar thing with the eyes, cop approached acquaintance and asked if he wanted to "play." Acquaintance, who is no question promiscuous as all get-out, said "sure, but not here." He was promptly arrested. - 3:34 PM GMT-5
Wonder how the scandal-wracked Vanderburgh GOP will handle this.
Gerard was a close advisor to Rep. Suzanne Crouch, who won a bruising primary against Jon Fulton.
The new chairperson, Connie Carrier, has not yet said anything about this incident.
Some people are wondering if she will try to sweep it under the rug, since her husband was picked up for soliciting a prostitute not that long ago.
What a sad state of affairs down there. - 9:11 PM GMT-5
I was relieved to find out that the Evansville official busted for masturbating in a public restroom was a man.
- Steph Mineart said...
From the language of the star article, it appears that he was observed by someone else, who then pulled the police in with a complaint.
- sportsrun said...
I was a victim of this entrapment and I know it first hand. If anyone entrapped would like me to join them in a class action lawsuit against the gestapo police in Indy and the owners of Circle Center Mall and Claypool Courts and the circus media outlets, contact me at email@example.com . I will be glad to be a witness in court to help anyone fight these obviously illegal police activities that are entrapping innocent people and ruining lives. IT HAS TO BE STOPPED!
The man simply had to get off. So what. It is like holding in a bowel movement or one's urine. If the man had a hard pecker, so be it.
Though who has not sin, cast the first stone people....you closet wankers! - 1:10 AM GMT-5
- Josh - the REAL one said...
Sorry, but I believe these cops do this because they're closeted queers who have an agenda of their own. What, you actually think that they're just going to volunteer their time for the "gay watch" because they're in it for "justice"? HAH! And yes, you're damn right they entrap people. I don't see any stories about straight boys being arrested jerking off for the ladies, and I know for a fact they do it all the time.

Great Products but a little expensive on shipping Review by DJB
I got the jacket I order and it is very well made, true to size for fit and packaged well. At only $49, it is a steal. But the $26.35 regular shipping cost seems way out of line. (Posted on 12/15/2014)
Great Service!! Review by JohnT
This company gives great service. I ordered jacket on December 15. On December 20, I emailed flightjacket.com asking about my order and a tracking number. They responded by the end of the day with a tracking number. I received it on December 23 in time for Christmas (I paid extra shipping cost) . The jacket is exactly the one I wanted. I already own one. I bought this jacket for a friend that wanted one exactly like mine. I search the web and rejected other websites which had imitations. I will use flightjacket.com again.

Nikon UK today announces a new super telephoto zoom lens – the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR. With a focal length ranging from 55mm to 300mm (equivalent to 82.5mm to 450mm on DX format D-SLRs) it enables the user to really get up close and personal with distant subjects.
Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager Lenses, Accessories & Software, Nikon Europe BV, says: "The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a really useful and economical second lens alongside today's standard 18-55mm kit lenses, enabling coverage of all subjects both near and far. The compact dimensions and lightweight construction make it an ideal choice for the compact D-SLR customer."
Go further for less
The 5.5 times zoom ratio offers flexibility by drastically extending the telephoto reach. With 300mm (450mm equivalent on DX format cameras when compared to 35mm format) at the telephoto end, this lens leads the way in affordable and portable telephoto photography, ideal for family sport events and holidays.
Hold Steady
Incorporating the latest VR II (second generation Vibration Reduction) technology, the lens delivers sharper images when the camera is hand-held. This is especially useful when using slower shutter speeds at longer focal lengths, or when shooting in low light.
Keep Quiet
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR incorporates Nikon's SWM (Silent Wave Motor). This ensures that the autofocus is fast and quiet so you don't miss that crucial moment, nor draw attention to yourself in more private settings.
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR incorporates high quality ED and new HRI (High Refractive Index) glass elements to help deliver crisp images, even under harsh lighting conditions. The lens has a weather sealed mount, which prevents moisture and dust infiltrating the lens or camera sensor.
Ready for adventure, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is an affordable and compact lens that will be a welcome addition to any camera bag. The lens is supplied with HB-57 lens hood to prevent flare in strong light and a lens pouch for safe storage and transportation. The lens will also be available in zoom kits with Nikon's popular D-SLR range.
