The Breakfast Briefing
Profit growth isn't exactly justifying the stock market's push toward all-time highs.
As earnings season crosses the halfway mark, "blended" profit growth among S&P 500 companies – a combination of reported figures and analyst estimates for upcoming results – sits at a rate of 3.8% for the final three months of 2012, according to data provider FactSet.
While that figure is up from the third quarter's actual 1.0% decline, it still marks the second-lowest rate of growth in more than three years, FactSet data show.
Still, the rally marches on. The Dow jumped 99 points on Tuesday and rekindled its courtship of 14000. The blue-chip average is up 6.7% this year and is less than 200 points away from its record high.
An improving domestic economy, waning turmoil in Washington and Europe and few signs that the Fed will wind down its stimulus efforts have been the main catalysts for the market's push higher.
Earnings season, however, has offered more of a mixed bag.
In a chat with MarketBeat, John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet, pointed out analysts were expecting quarterly profit growth of 9.1% as recently as Sept. 30. That figure fell steadily as earnings season approached, touching as low as 1.6% a few weeks ago, before recently turning a bit higher.
Earnings results face tough year-over-year comparisons, which perhaps explains why some investors aren't overly concerned by slowing profit growth.
"The comparison is getting more difficult because you're seeing record profits on top of record profits," he said. Companies in the S&P 500 reported record earnings in 2011 and are on pace for another banner year in 2012.
On the revenue side, there is some reason for optimism. In the second and third quarters of 2012, revenue figures, on average, missed analysts' estimates by a relatively wide margin, sparking some concerns that top-line growth was poised for a slowdown.
That trend has reverted back toward historical norms during the current reporting period. Some 2/3 of companies that have already reported results have beaten top-line expectations.
"Companies are back to beating revenue estimates, something we haven't seen over the last few quarters," Butters says.
Companies scheduled to report on Wednesday include Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Prudential Financial, Yelp and Time Warner, among others.
When asked to give an assessment for the first half of the current reporting period, Butters described it as "an average earnings season."
With the Fed still spewing stimulus, average may be just enough to keep the rally kicking.

A new lawsuit filed by employees of Jessica Biel's Au Fudge claims she and her business partners took close to $500K in tips meant for them.
The Blast reports nine people have jumped on board to sue the actress, claiming the 22 percent gratuity on private events never went to the people who worked on the projects.
Employees who used to work at the business claim $430,100 wasn't distributed to staff working the various events.
They're also claiming they were denied breaks.
At the time of this post, Biel's reps and the restaurant had not responded to The Blast's requests for comment.

The changes to the DSM-5, the updated manual of psychiatric illnesses released earlier this month, include 15 new mental disorders. Psychiatrists and consumer advocates hope that the new range of diagnoses will help more people find treatment for their suffering. But drug companies could also see a benefit: It's likely that the changes will expand the demand for prescription medications that could treat these conditions.
The DSM-5's changes widen the treatment potential for several mental problems, including depression, premenstrual symptoms, binge eating and dementia. Pharmaceutical experts expect that the DSM-5's legitimization and expansion of certain disorders will pave the way for companies to develop and sell more drugs to treat them, and increase FDA support for new medications.
For some drugs, a sales impact could come even before the FDA specifically approves them to treat the new DSM-5 disorders. Doctors often prescribe drugs "off-label" to treat disorders, and broader recognition of the disorders could potentially boost sales of the drugs through those channels.
Drug makers aren't allowed to market medications for their off-label uses—indeed, doing so has resulted in costly fines for companies in the past. For now, most pharmaceutical companies are declining to discuss how the DSM-5 might create new uses for existing drugs. But drugs that could be repurposed and repatented for new psychiatric uses could become important profit sources for their manufacturers, clinicians and physicians say, adding that some of the changes in the DSM-5 could create such opportunities.
Take, for example, the DSM-5's new guidelines about "bereavement-associated" depression following the loss of a loved one. Previous versions of the DSM recommended against diagnosing major depressive disorder in mourners for eight weeks following a death, but the DSM-5 redacts this "bereavement exclusion." As a result, says Lisa Cosgrove, a psychologist and professor at the University of Massachusetts in Boston, "what certainly can happen is that, after two weeks, people going through the normal grieving process would then be prescribed an antidepressant."
Experts say several major brand-name drugs might be used to treat new DSM-5 disorders. Researchers and companies, for example, are eyeing attention deficit disorder drugs like Shire's Vyvanse to treat binge eating disorder, along with methylphenidate (commonly known as Novartis's NVS, -0.25% Ritalin), as well as some antidepressants, to treat hoarding. Other studies are looking at seizure drugs such as gabapentin, sold by Pfizer as Neurontin, for cannabis withdrawal. "Presumably the drugs have the opportunity to make more money with that new diagnostic," says Amanda Roberts, associate professor of molecular neurosciences at The Scripps Research Institute, which specializes in the pharmaceutical industry.
Shire US:SHPG , which recently began its third phase of binge eating trials with Vyvanse, said in its 2012 annual report that the ADHD drug "now holds the prospect of future growth," thanks in part to its potential for treating binge eating disorder. "We believe there is a significant unmet patient need for a clinically studied and regulatory approved treatment for the condition," a Shire spokesperson says. Pfizer PFE, -0.14% and Novartis say they only endorse their products for the uses indicated on their labels, which do not currently include hoarding or cannabis withdrawal.
Some pharma players are openly positioning themselves to take advantage of additions to the DSM-5. The multiple sclerosis drug Sativex, made by GW Pharmaceuticals, which began trading on the Nasdaq May 8, is being tested for treatment of cannabis withdrawal at the University of New South Wales in Australia, using materials donated by the company, according to a university press release and disclosures by the researchers in a separate 2012 study. GW Pharmaceuticals did not respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile, Lightlake Therapeutics (LLTP), a London-based company that just completed Phase II clinical trials for its nasal spray treatment for binge eating disorder, issued a statement following the release of the DSM-5. "We are very pleased to see that binge eating disorder has been added to the APA's DSM-5," Roger Crystal, a surgeon and Lightlake CEO, said in the statement. "Inclusion in DSM-5 should help with reimbursement of therapies for BED."
Other drugs are likely to get a different kind of boost from the DSM-5—because the manual is recognizing conditions that they've already been approved by the FDA to treat. Some Parkinson's disease medications, for example, are already approved for use for restless legs syndrome, which was added to the psychiatric manual. "I would bet that there are a lot of happy people in the restless-leg pharmaceutical industry right now, because they finally have a real diagnosis," Roberts says. GlaxoSmithKline's drug Requip (also available generically) is approved for restless legs syndrome; the company declined to comment on the DSM-5's potential effect on sales.
Pharmaceutical companies may already be in position to fill the additional prescriptions that will be written thanks to the DSM-5, some say. Now that psychiatrists can officially diagnose depression even when a patient is still grieving a loved one, experts say there may be a market for specialized antidepressants for mourners. Eli Lilly, for one, supported a clinical trial of its antidepressant Cymbalta for treating "bereavement-associated" depression. While the company says it is not currently evaluating Cymbalta for bereavement, Cosgrove notes that Lilly and other pharmaceutical firms have successfully expanded the uses for their drugs in the past. Some antipsychotic drugs, for example, have eventually been approved by the FDA for depression, bipolar disorder and autism. While Cymbalta was originally approved for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, according to the FDA, in recent years it has gained additional approvals for anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, and most recently, chronic lower back pain—sometimes after relatively few clinical trials.

Inside the Swooshby Howard Hewitt

A self-effacing Wabash philosophy major and devoted father is Nike's liaison with Tiger Woods
BEAVERTON, OR—Nike shows up on practically every magazine or Web site's "Top 100 Greatest Places to Work" list. There is a freewheeling youth culture on this campus just north of Portland that oozes "cool."
"Had someone told me at Wabash that I'd someday be working here at Nike with Tiger Woods, I would have questioned why they would want me," says Dan Schenk '95 when asked if he ever imagined himself in this epicenter of cool. "I can honestly say that I've never thought of myself as 'cool' in any way. I've always been that guy just outside the circle."
He may be outside the circle, but he's inside the swoosh. Schenk is a Senior Product Marketing Manager for Nike Golf. He works in marketing but also with pro-duct development teams.
"My job is to see what's coming up," the Mt. Vernon, Indiana native says. "I sift through what's important and use it. I manage someone who does golf balls and another who does footwear and apparel. I work with them on how to tell the story."
That's where Tiger Woods comes in. Schenk works with him two or three times a year. He finds the greatest golfer in history to be just like the guy next door—just a guy who has a singular understanding of his job on the golf course and marketing Nike products.
"Tiger is part of how the product performs," Schenk explains. "He feels everything. He can test a driver and tell if the weight is even slightly off. And he's right. That kind of feedback is incredibly important. From the marketing perspective, it's his authenticity. He's the uber golfer who spends more time on the greens, more time playing the game than anyone else.
"He has an interesting insight into what the sport is about. That's what we try to capture."
Dan stands behind the camera asking Tiger questions for online marketing promotions. "He's the story. He makes it. It's helped me that when I'm with Tiger that it just becomes a conversation. I'll ask, 'Tell me this?' or 'Tell me why?' 'Let's pretend the camera is off. Tell me what you want to say and not what you think I want to hear.'"
Schenk thinks back to that question about being "cool."
"That skepticism about being 'cool' actually makes me a great steward of our brand and athletes," he says. "Bot-tom line—you can't fake it, so it needs to be authentic."
Schenk says his experience as both a student and a member of the staff at Wabash shaped his personal and professional life in profound ways. He met his wife, Amelia, while working a college fair in Phoenix, Arizona for the Wabash Admissions Office.
"I had been recruiting fellow counselors to join me for a drive to the Grand Canyon on our day off, and Amelia initially said 'yes,'" Schenk recalls. "On the night before the trip, a couple of other people backed out. I'll never forget calling her and saying, 'It will just be me and you, so I totally understand if you'd prefer not to go.' Her answer was simple—'It sounds fun.' Ten hours later we'd covered religion, life, family, friends, the inscriptions we'd like on our tombstones, and the inspiration of nature. It was the perfect first date for a philosophy major!"
On the professional side, Schenk got his start in marketing in the Wabash Admissions Office developing recruitment materials. He worked with an advertising agency to shape the College's message from a student perspective. He continued that work as a recruitment officer for admissions after graduation. After those experiences, he wanted more. He started to think about graduate school and ended up going to Indiana University and getting his MBA in 2000.
"What I really got out of my time working at Wabash was the challenge of marketing something and bringing that to life," he says. "That just kept burning in me more and more."
Still, at times he felt odd as a philosophy major going to business school. "I knew in my heart the marketing experience at Wabash with the sales side, the customer service side, would pay off. I knew what I was doing there. Wabash College is a brand. It's probably one of the most premium brands to work for. I also knew that someone looking at a resume might not see that right off the top."
Fortunately, the man who interviewed him at General Motors, his first job out of grad school, was uniquely equipped to see just that. The interview process was unique—the company would interview young people as potential employees and then decide what job to place them in. Executive Steve McGuire '84 spotted Schenk and offered him a job in digital marketing.
"This guy told me he was familiar with Wabash College and thought I'd be a thinker," Schenk recalls. "So I asked how he knew Wabash, and he said he was a 1984 graduate. He became my entry point to GM."
Schenk went on to work for Chevrolet in the infancy of Internet marketing. He credits that time with shaping his marketing philosophy.
"I was sitting in the room with the guy who basically created the 'Like a Rock' campaign for Chevy. He wanted to put more money in the market and commence with 'push marketing.' And here I was, with Steve saying we want to create an environment online where consumers come to us. We want them to come to chevy.com because they want to know about fuel-efficiency standards. They want to know about the new car. It really was more about serving the consumer than convincing the consumer."
Chevy had abundant resources for online marketing, and that advantage allowed Dan to try his own approach. "People are not watching a sporting event and watching our ads show up. They'd rather be getting a drink or going to the bathroom. On the Net, they're coming to us to interact with us. That's a huge deal when you think about today's society. That's the core thinking behind this entire model. What are we doing to serve their needs?"
He got to spend five months at home taking care of his daughter, and then in the seventh month he went to work for Nike.
Today he is immersed in the Nike culture. Dan wears shorts, T-shirts, and sandals just like the predominantly young workforce. The employee benefits and perks are unique.
"This place feels like a college campus," he says. "You have athletes, meetings, highlight reels, and all of that is pretty cool. It's not unlike when you first start dating someone; it's all flash and pizzazz. But as I have come to know the place, it is about deep clarity of purpose. Everybody really understands the value of a brand around here.
"When you connect on a more emotional level, and you're able to make your brand more than simply about
The Schenk family just welcomed their third child in the fall. Dan has strong opinions about supporting his family and how that always comes first. When he thinks about his professional future, it gets a little tougher.
"I've always struggled with my plan for work or my career. I think that my plan is to continue enjoying what I'm doing. There's always a part of me that feels like teaching. Maybe teaching high-school language arts or business school type of stuff, which is consistent with marketing."
Again, he credits Wabash for the way he approaches his career.
"I like to make decisions with the information I have available. If along the way I keep making the best decisions, then that beats a plan. Wabash fits that perfectly. My plan was never to go somewhere for four years and figure out a skill and do that. It was to figure out how to figure things out. Respect each other and engage in lively debate. Build confidence in yourself and build relationships with the people you work with.
"I don't think too many philosophy majors apply to business schools. Did I take the quantitative classes because I was a philosophy major? No, it was because I was a liberal arts student. Why would I think I could do a job like I did at GM without any experience? It was because I knew how to think and learn."

Online membership software helps associations, clubs and other groups collaborate, communicate, register for events, process payments and more. It's a must-have tool for any organization serious about engaging members, as well as tracking their participation and other interactions.
With dozens of great online membership systems on the market, it can be tough to figure out which one is right for your organization. So, we put together this guide to help.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Online Membership Management Software?
Common Functionality of Online Membership Management Software
How Online Membership Software Is Priced
Types of Software Buyers
Potential Benefits and Drawbacks
Online membership software is the same as any other type of membership software—only it is exclusively deployed online and accessed via a Web browser.
The functionality offered in this software ranges from simple to complex. Basic systems serve mainly as a membership database that tracks contact details, dues, renewal dates and payment history. More advanced capabilities include modules for managing continuing education programs, publications, certifications and more.
At a minimum, an online membership system will include the following:
|Membership database
|Stores all records in a single location. Some systems include a self-service portal, which lets members log in, view and update their own records.
|Dues and renewals tracking
|Set membership and pricing levels, as well as generate renewal reminders. Most systems also accept and process credit card and other types of payments.
|Communication capabilities
|Enables staff and members to send messages to all members, specific groups or individual members. Administrators can create lists, then customize email, text and other communications to people on that list.
|Reporting tools
|Filter, sort and export member data for insights on program success and member satisfaction.
Dues management interface in StarChapter
The majority of online membership products come with subscription-based pricing. Under this pricing model, users pay a relatively low monthly or annual fee to use the software and receive upgrades and support. Some vendors also charge a one-time setup fee to configure the system and migrate critical data.
It is less common to find online software that has perpetual license pricing. Perpetual licenses require a large, one-time fee up front, which allows a buyer to use the software indefinitely. Support, maintenance and upgrade fees are rarely included, however, and must be renewed.
Furthermore, price levels are often determined by the number of records stored in the system. For example, an organization with 50 records is charged the lowest fee, while an organization with 5,000 records is charged the highest.
Any membership organization can take advantage of online membership software. Organizations that benefit most, however, include:
Clubs. Special interest groups, PTAs, booster clubs, religious groups and others use this type of software to track member details and dues, and distribute important details on group activities.
Nonprofits. Member-based nonprofits include chambers of commerce, real estate boards, theater groups, zoos and similar organizations. They use online membership software to communicate with members, raise funds, renew memberships, manage event registrations and more.
Small associations. Trade, professional and alumni associations that engage a small number of members primarily use online membership software to track contact details, support communications and automate dues renewals.
(Note: Large associations that participate in publishing, political lobbying, continuing education and conferences are usually better served by AMS products.)
Membership levels and renewals in MemberPlanet
Online software has a number of advantages over traditional platforms, including:
Lower upfront cost. Instead of a large initial investment, a lower monthly or annual subscription fee is paid only as long as an organization needs the software.
Greater accessibility. Instead of being tied to a computer in a physical office, users can use online membership software anywhere they have a good Internet connection—even on a mobile device.
Always run the latest version. The vendor rolls out software updates and new features as soon as they are ready without users having to pay for an upgrade and manually install it themselves.
Online membership software is not without drawbacks, however. The biggest one is, ironically, cost. Although its initial and short-term investment is lower than installed software, recurring fees add up, resulting in a total cost of ownership that exceeds what would have been paid for an on-premise system.
Downtime is another potential drawback. Since an Internet connection is required to access online software, it's not possible to use it if service is disrupted. Additionally, the vendor may schedule downtime for periodic maintenance, which blocks people from using the system during that time.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Vinculin is a protein 117 kiloDaltons in size that is associated with focal adhesion and adherens junctions, which are complexes that serve as nucleation sites for actin filaments and as crosslinkers between the external medium, plasma membrane, and actin cytoskeleton. The head region of vinculin contains the binding sites for the proteins talin and alpha-actinin, and its tail region, which is rod-like in shape, contains the binding sites for filamentous actin and paxillin. Investigations indicate that a proline-rich domain between the head and tail of vinculin interacts with vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), a substrate of cyclic AMP-dependent or cyclic GMP-dependent kinases. Recent studies of vinculin suggest that the role the protein plays in cellular adhesion, motility, and intercellular communication varies depending upon alterations in the three-dimensional structure of the protein. For example, it has been demonstrated that by alternating between an active and inactive form, vinculin can regulate the mobility of cells, and may, therefore, be involved in wound healing, embryonic tissue development, and the metastasis of cancerous tumors.
The adherent culture of BPAE cells featured in the digital image above was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-vinculin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab heavy and light chain fragments conjugated to Rhodamine Red-X. In addition, the specimen was simultaneously stained for DNA with the ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI, and for the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

The Sleepy Eye VFW baseball team is the tournament champion after going 3-0 at the Sioux Falls Classic last weekend.
The Sleepy Eye VFW baseball team is the tournament champion after going 3-0 at the Sioux Falls Classic last weekend.
The team traveled to Sioux Falls on July 12 and took on Manhattan, KS where Sleepy Eye dominated in a 8-0 shutout. On Saturday, Sleepy Eye had a close game against the home town team of Sioux Falls West, where Sleepy Eye pulled off a 1-0 win. Soon after, the team took on Mitchell, SD. The players showed they were not tired from the previous game, as they pounded Mitchell 9-1.
The championship games on Sunday were canceled due to rain, and Sleepy Eye was declared the tournament champion because of their No. 1 overall seed.
Meanwhile, the team took on Fairmont in a doubleheader on July 11. The first game was a pitching battle on both sides as only three total runs were scored. Sleepy Eye held on to a one run lead all the way until the sixth inning when Fairmont had multiple base hits which allowed them to tie the game 1-1. Opportunities came for Sleepy Eye in the bottom of the seventh but they were halted after Fairmont made an easy double play.
After Sleepy Eye held off Fairmont for a half inning, the team got early opportunities with Jay Helget getting on base from a walk. This was followed by a hit by Matt Berkner and then a perfect sacrifice bunt by Jared Rothmeier. It was Lucas Heiderscheidt's turn to shine, and he was able to get a base hit which brought home Helget. Sleepy Eye won the game 2-1.
The second game was quite the opposite of the first, as Sleepy Eye won 10-2 in dominant hitting fashion.
Sleepy Eye moves its record to 14-5 overall, and will host the Sub-District Tournament this weekend. Sleepy Eye will take on Mankato Maroon on July 18 for its first Sub-District game which will be at 7 p.m. The games on July 19 will take place at 1 p.m., 4 p.m., and 7 p.m. and Sleepy Eye will play depending on their result from July 18. The games on July 20 will be at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m., and the Championship Game will be on July 21 at noon. The top two teams will advance to the District Tournament in Arlington/Green Isle.

7 Ways to Unplug on Any Vacation
Are you a workaholic? Or does your boss expect you to be one? Either way, follow our expert tips on how to have an "unplugged vacation" without getting fired.
1. Tell your coworkers not to call you unless there's a hostage situation. The more memorable your message, the more likely it is that you'll be left alone.
2. Get a cell phone that makes it difficult to send e-mail. And don't tote a business-connected BlackBerry. For domestic trips, Virgin Mobile sells prepaid phones for as little as $15 at Target stores and elsewhere. (Note: Virgin's phones come with mobile Web access. If that seems too tempting, you'll have to ask the company to turn it off when you call customer service to activate the phone.)
3. Give your hotel's name and number to only one colleague. If any other coworker needs to reach you, your point person can decide whether revealing your whereabouts is warranted.
4.Stay at hotels that are known for offering activities. For example, many Kimpton and Omni hotels host frequent wine tastings. Social mixers may especially appeal to solo travelers, who tend to find it hard to unplug from BlackBerry-based interaction.
5.Don't over-schedule. Or else your vacation will seem like work. As you plan your itinerary, allow free time for strolls and other spontaneous adventures.
6.Make an "unpacking" list before you go. In his book Work to Live, Joe Robinson suggests you jot down the stuff that has no business going with you: work worries, the boss, colleagues, career progress, laptops, pagers, cell phones....
7. Only respond to four-alarm emergencies. This advice is especially worth following whenyour boss insists that you check your e-mail and voice mail periodically, says NFI Research CEO Chuck Martin.

Nanowerk is featuring a Dec. 21, 2012 news item about a jewellery project from the Institut Català de Nanotecnologia (ICN) Note: Links have been removed,
The Centre for NanoBioSafety and Sustainability (CNBSS) organised the premiere of Gold Light, the first quantum jewellery product, last week at the Hotel Mercer, in Barcelona [Spain]. Gold Light is the fruit of a collaboration that combines Barcelona's long artisanal tradition with Nanotechnology developed by Institut Català de Nanotecnologia (ICN)'s Inorganic Nanoparticles Group. Gold Light is an extraordinary jewellery product, unique for both its innovation and its aesthetics.
The ICN's Dec. 13, 2012 news release provides more detail (which originated the news item on Nanowerk),
A multidisciplinary team, including jewellery designer Roberto Carrascosa, artist Joan Peris, production designer Francesc Oliveras, and art business manager Jose Luis Fettolini, developed Gold Light over the course of a year, based on specialist knowledge from the Inorganic Nanoparticles Group. The final product exploits the aesthetic potential of noble-metal nanoparticles and their special interaction with light. Jewellers traditionally work with precious metals, which in their smallest form exist as nanoparticles(at smaller sizes, metal particles lose their metallic properties). Gold Light, composed of gold nanoparticles, represents the advent of quantum jewellery, where quantum is used in the literal sense. Their work on Gold Light has also served as a case model for the CNBSS to evaluate the regulatory mechanisms and corporate obligations for the development and marketing of a product that contains nanoparticles. For the CNBSS, the venture served as a study in the safety-by-design of a nanoproduct, through advice from attorney Ignasi Gispert.
Here's what one of the pieces looks like,
You can see more on the Gold Light jewellery website but you won't find any technical information about the colour differences or information about how to purchase.

Reading the "tea party" leaves from Tuesday's contests is in full swing.
One of the big messages from the success of so many long-shot candidates to the rest of the political establishment: take a high-schooler to lunch and pay close attention to his or her texting, tweeting, and Facebooking skills. And make sure you eavesdrop on the chatty, highly-personal style of chitchat if they should happen to take a cell phone call while you're out. Because the lesson from this current political season is: it's not enough to just "have a facebook page." You gotta work that Twitter or Facebook or blog for all it's worth.
Outsiders trying to get into the political game know this instinctively, say political observers. That's why new technology – from the days of Thomas Paine's pamphleteering through Roosevelt's radio chats right up to Christine O'Donnell and Ken Buck's emotional, interactive tweets – favors the challengers, the revolutionaries, and the outsiders.
Join our 'tea party' conversation on Facebook.
"Every generation has seen a dramatic disruption of the political process due to technological change," says Brooklyn Law School's Jonathan Askin, who served on the '08 Obama tech task force. History has shown, he says, that the disenfranchised with the least to lose and the most to gain by getting a message directly to the people are those who dig into the potential of new technologies and show what else they can do. And so, he points out, "radio promoted FDR's agenda; TV helped elect Jack Kennedy; pamphleteers fomented the American Revolution and helped to springboard new parties."
In each of those cases, says "Netroots" author Matt Kerbel, the establishment politicians underestimated and therefore underutilized the potential of the new technology. FDR's opponents largely viewed radio as a wireless telegraph, good for blasting out speeches and information. "But FDR grasped the intimate nature of the medium and transformed it into a one-to-one conversation between him and the American people, something nobody before him had really done," he says. John F. Kennedy intuitively mined the power of television to deliver his personal charisma. "He understood it was not just radio with pictures," says Mr. Kerbel.
While President Obama has gotten high marks for his grasp of social media in '08, "it was really the 2004 Howard Dean campaign that showed what might be possible in a medium where the price of entry is so low. The Dean campaign did it by accident, Kerbel says. "The Internet really found Dean … not the other way around. He had such a small campaign staff and organization he wasn't in a position to exercise top-down control over his Internet support, and that was actually the reason his Internet organization grew so effectively" that it signaled the potential of the new digital medium.
The political earthquake that really forecast what was ahead came in Massachusetts earlier this year, says Republican strategist David Johnson. "We really saw it come of age [with] Scott Brown," he says, pointing out that the newcomer's campaign used Twitter to activate the base. "They all had a sense of ownership in his progress; they could follow his personal story." In contrast, he says, Attorney General Martha Coakely was seen as cold and uncaring, "just posting platitudes on Twitter."
But the cautionary side of an instantaneous, highly personal, and decentralized mode of politicking is already evident, says Politics Daily writer Matt Lewis. Look no further than the upset in Alaska. Newcomer Joe Miller took the Republican establishment by surprise, using Twitter to get his story out. But the very next day, says Mr. Lewis, "he was put in a position of dismissing a staffer for sending out an unauthorized [tweet] on his behalf."
Of course, there may be no better modern example of the downside of viral social networking than what happened to Howard Dean after he let out a scream – one that was captured on video and rocketed around the digisphere and, says Lewis, effectively ended his hopes. "Back in the days of more calm reflection, where a newspaper might have made a single mention of the howl, it would have passed relatively unnoticed." Just think, he says, of the vast online archive of everyone's tics and youthful behavior. "When these kids grow up to run for political office, all this stuff will be there just waiting to be played endlessly online."

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: The family standing before their home on Conway Road (now Massachusetts State Route 116) in the town of Deerfield, Massachusetts, is probably the immigrant family of Wyciech and Michilena (or Mikalina) Ostroski. The Ostroskis emigrated to the United States in 1902 from the Polish regions of Russia with their young cousin, John Tublonski. This picture was probably taken just after their arrival. The couple were wed that year, and soon after started a family and anglicized their names to "William and Helena Ostrowski." That year, the Ostrowskis owned this home, farmland, and a number of farm animals.
This photograph comes from the Howes Brothers collection of photographs. The Howes Brothers, based in Ashfield, Massachusetts, made more than 20,000 images of New England rural life from 1890 to around 1910, offering a glimpse into the lives of people rarely visible in history.

Still confused? Yeah, the average skier or snowboarder might not understand the lingo, but at the Rail Jam competition, which capped off the final day of the second-annual Winter Festival, spectators didn't have to know what the tricks were called to know they were wickedly cool.

Harvesting icy vegetables Monday
Icy cabbage, huddling close to the land cress, can't-kill-me dandelion, shivering green onions, fainting Johnny jump up flowers, long suffering bietina, chicory-cicles, spiffy spinach, winter lettuce, still perky purple peacock flowerbuds, can-take-any-weather kale, and sturdy sage.
Otherwise known as RRMxSM F1 cabbage, belle isle upland cress, common dandelion, can't remember which one green onion, Viola tricolor mix flowers, bietina chard, sugarloaf chicory, rumpled leaf spinach, winter lettuce, purple peacock kale-broccoli, rainbow lacinato kale and red ursa kale, and common culinary sage.
These were combined with some apples mellowing in storage from the fall harvest.
Lots 'o apples take over a room.
To make a lovely coleslaw.
I haven't mentioned it in awhile but Harvest Monday is hosted by Daphne's Dandelions. It's a place to share your harvest whether it be a few precious peas grown in a pot to quarter acre of corn.
In other news, I have enough tomato requests to send out the first batch of seeds. They might take a bit longer than normal what with the holiday rush. There are more if anyone else wants to give a tomato (or eight) a home. Don't forget to look on the right hand side bar for my regular trade/give away list as well.

Lovely head of cabbage. That's a lot of apples. How do you store them? Will they keep the entire winter?

What a lovely storage supply of apples! I really enjoy adding apples to slaws - the combo of sweet and tart is just heavenly.
Had a chuckle over the frosty names you gave to all the harvest items. :D

Wow what a pile of apples. You must eat them every day to use them up.

Norma: We store them as you see on an unused shelf in the basement. Before that, they were stored in bags in the garage until the temperatures dropped close to minus double digits. They should last quite some time but this is only my second winter in our new house and we moved in after the apple harvest so you'll have to get back to me. So far, both varietites that I have there seem to be long keeping.

industrial bag
In addition to a new clean design, we want to highlight two new pieces of information about the company. One is that it is military veteran owned.
- to highlight veteran owned (see http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com…l_link.php
- to highlight gsa approved (http://www.nationalbusinessfurnitur…iture.aspx)
- menu system that is expandable as new products are added.
- you will notice that are not many different products, so we need to keep it simple without feeling like the choices are limited. so maybe a products menu with a rollover expandability to show categories that we can add to later.
