Whenever I see reposts from (Twitter Guru) Susie Blackmon's tweets on Heidi Cohen (actionable marketing expert), I know it is a good read because it will include practical social media marketing knowledge that could be applicable to various markets such as the B2B to B2C.
The most important bullet on social media marketing sins from Heidi Cohen's blog includes Number 7:
"Hiring a kid who knows Facebook, not employing an experienced marketer who understands your products, brands and company. "
Situation: I have been speaking to a couple of companies interested in having social media marketing expertise. The story sometimes includes hiring an intern in college who didn't know the brand or understand the mission of the company who started a Facebook or Twitter page for the company- just to get it done. Moreover, the intern left or graduated from college and somehow the owner of the company is left to do FB or Twitter page with limited knowledge on the platform itself. In extreme cases, I've read interns who didn't handle customer services correctly through these platforms and it resulted in damaging the reputation of the brand.
Solution: Owners of companies should hire an expert because marketing through the social media platforms are one of the most direct forms of communication you have with customers. Hire a social media consultant and inform them about the brand. This person will understand how to use the right tools to increase visibility and communications with customers to enable understanding of the products, services, and value for them!

Coober Pedy is a quirky mining town in the center of Australia that offers some of the world's most unusual accommodations and attractions. There are few other places where you can stay in an underground hotel or motel and mine for opal, the multi-colored precious stone that is the country's national gemstone.
Coober Pedy is situated about 530 miles north of Adelaide, 2½ hours by air, and 425 miles south of Alice Springs, the small town made famous by the movie "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert." Desert indeed — the Australian outback is a rock-strewn moonscape that was also the setting for "Mad Max" and "Red Planet."
An estimated 80 percent of Coober Pedy's population lives underground. As is often the case when traveling, it's definitely best to do as the locals do. The heat can be unbearable in the summer months. From December to February, it is not unusual for temperatures to soar to 125 degrees. The cave lodgings, known as "dugouts," create a consistent temperate climate away from the hot Australian sun. Temperatures in the cave-like dwellings seldom stray from the mid-70s, summer or winter.
Coober Pedy has one four-star hotel, the Desert Cave Hotel. Some of its rooms sit above ground, but 19 of them are subterranean. Coober Pedy has other types of accommodations — motels and a bed-and-breakfast — but they all have underground bedrooms.
I stayed at the Desert Cave Hotel, which is ideally situated on the main street, Hutchinson Street, named after the boy who discovered opal in 1915 while his father was mining for gold nearby. The father had no luck, but the young boy set off a boom that drew people from all over the world to Coober Pedy, which now supplies 70 percent of the world's opal.
Despite my own proclivity for claustrophobia, I found my room surprisingly comfortable. I had a queen-size bed with a lovely dark blue and white duvet, a sofa and warm lighting that made the place quite cozy. Nearby was a bar, a restaurant, a gaming room and even a small museum dedicated to the history of opal mining in Coober Pedy.
Most of the "cave" hotels and motels have been carved out of the area's distinctive red sandstone. The usual procedure is to cut a vertical "face" in a hillside and then excavate the dirt and rock horizontally to create a big open space — a cave, literally. Then the rooms are built into the empty space.
All of the underground properties I saw, including the Desert Cave Inn, had the usual amenities one would find in any hotel in the U.S., including minibars, coffee makers, laundry service and more. Many even offered Wi-Fi access, if not down in the rooms themselves, then upstairs in the public areas.
Mining For OpalThe underground dwellings are reason enough to go to Coober Pedy. However, its position as the opal-mining capital of the world makes it a fascinating destination for history buffs and jewelry-lovers alike.
The name Coober Pedy derives from the Aboriginal term kupa-piti, which translates loosely to "white man's hole." It is a dubious tribute, no doubt, to the idea that when white men came to this part of Australia, they quickly disappeared underground into the mines, and subsequently into other man-made holes in order to survive.
Hotels and motels organize tours of the several hundred mines that dot the territory, including one that ventures down into a working mine. You can even visit a real underground home, which looks for all the world like any other home except that the walls are made of sculpted sandstone.
But the real fun for most tourists, myself included, is literally getting your hands dirty by mining for opal, or "noodling." There is a designated area called Jewellers Shop, where visitors dig through mounds of dirt and rock that have been excavated from real mines in the area. Now and then, someone gets lucky.
Robert Coro, the owner of the Desert Cave Inn, remembers one woman who dug through a pile of dirt and came across a rough opal that had been overlooked in the regular mining process.
"I got it cut for her and put it in a classic simple setting with 18-carat gold," recalled Coro, who has lived in Coober Pedy for 50 years. "She sent me a letter a few months later saying that her insurance company had valued the piece at $5,500." www.desertcave.com.au
Train ServiceYou can get to Coober Pedy by plane, bus or by car along the modern Stuart Highway, but if you want a really romantic ride, try catching The Ghan, the legendary Australian train that runs north and south between Adelaide and Darwin. I took it late one night going south and I had to be driven 45 minutes outside of Coober Pedy to meet it. When I got to what I thought would be the station, there wasn't one, just a long train idling next to a dirt road. My driver took me around the side of the first car and a conductor leaned out and asked what car I was in. When I told him, he said, "Wait here," and the next thing I knew, the entire train had moved up so I was standing right next to my assigned car.

I just wanted to pass along something that I recently learned from the folks at B/K, and also from Bill here:
If you have one of the early EPH Flex Mode radios, you may not be able to program it for narrow band operation from the keypad. The easiest way to tell is to go into the programming mode. If you enter the passcode and the radio displays "PASS", then you CAN select narrow or wide band from the keypad. If the radio does NOT display "PASS", then you can NOT.
However, not all is lost..... ANY Flex-Mode radio can be programmed for narrow band operation, via the programming software. If you think your users will need to program a narrow channel, you can program, via the software, one channel to be narrow band. The user can then go into the keypad programming, set the frequencies and/or tones for that channel, and the channel will stay narrow band. This assumes you have room in your programming to have an "extra" channel to make narrow band.
B/K EPH narrow band programming
This forum is created for the discussion of Bendix King Radios.

In June my wife and I were privileged to romp through the German county side around Nurburg in a new Cayman GT4. The standard transmission definitely put a huge smile on our faces. We are old school drivers so we are biased. In comparison my wife drove a Carrera S and a Cayman S with PDK on road tours. She didn't share so you will have to ask her for a comparison.
I am in the process of purchasing a used 2010 997.2 3.8L C2S that is a PDK car from the Edmonton dealer. When I test drove the car last week I absolutely hated the buttons on the stock PDK steering wheel and while being able to manually shift with the stick shift was a slight improvement, it was the opposite of how a sequential shifter works. With sequential shifters you pull to upshift and push to downshift and this 997 PDK car was the exact opposite of how a sequential shifter works and that messed me up though yes you would eventually get used to it (but I did not want to get used to it).
So when we got back after the test drive, of course the salesman wanted the sale and of course the high pressure sales techniques kicked in, but I basically held my ground and said "I cannot/will not buy this car the way it is, I hate the PDK". We talked about how I would still be very much interested in manual 997.2 3.8L C2S cars, but the problem is is that there really aren't a whole lot of manual 997.2 C2S if any on the market right now in Canada, and maybe only a few in the USA. But then I raised paddle shifters and said "If you can turn this car into a paddle shifter car, then perhaps I will be interested". Well the salesman runs off and a while later he returns with the news that yes they will throw the paddle shifters in as part of the sale. Only problem is is that I will need to wait a while for the new steering wheel to be shipped to me. But sometime in the not too distant future I will be driving a used 2010 997.2 3.8L C2S with PDK and the paddle shifters and this is going to radically transform this car into a great track car.
Now it still remains to be seen if when I finally do get to track the car if I will even use the paddle shifters or if I will just put the car into automatic and just concentrate on hitting the apexes. But at home I have a dedicated virtual reality sim racing rig running iRacing and PCars2 and with it I am always left foot braking and shifting gears with paddle shifters and it is the best way to get around a track. Manual shifter is super fun, super engaging and for sure the preferred way to drive on the public roads (not counting traffic jams), but on a race track paddle shifters are dope.

If I want to go the quickest, I put my Cayman into Sport+ auto and concentrate on my driving. If I want to go fast in my Golf R, I shift with the paddles in manual mode to keep the turbo under boost. If I just want the pure driving experience, I drop the top in my manual trans Boxster and hit the road. The best of all worlds!

I own a PDK Porsche and a manual, I love the manual and I think PDK is junk, my Ram shifted better. If youve driven a Ferrari or Lamborghini, those are real sport shifters, PDK is not even close. Surprised considering how long Porsche has had automatics for...

Speaking to reporters today, President Obama drew a sharp line under his comments last night, insisting that his defense of the right to build a mosque does not mean he supports the project.I had to Google "Mike Bloomberg." Oh, Mayor Bloomberg. Do we call him Mike?
"I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there. I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding," he said.
Obama's new stance is logically consistent with his words last night, if a bit less "clarion," as Mike Bloomberg called the first remarks.
Anyway... Ben, Mike... everybody... could you possibly take the trouble to pay attention to words?
And read the Althouse blog. It was all always obvious, as I told you here and here.
Obama's new remarks, literally speaking, re-open the question of which side he's on.Re-open the question only because you foolishly visualized a closed question.
"Literally speaking" ... what the hell does that mean? If you knew how to be literal, you wouldn't have read more into the old remarks than was there. You read subjectively. You let idiotically soaring hopes cloud your eyes.
Obama has made his brilliant career out of saying the most crashingly banal things to people who hear what they want to hear. Could everyone please wake up? Please!
Most of the mosque's foes recognize the legal right to build, and have asked the builders to reconsider.Allow me to help you solve your little puzzle? You are a chump. You need to wake up, smarten up, and realize that words have meaning.
But the clarification is, in political terms, puzzling. The signal Obama sent with his rhetoric last night wasn't that he had chosen to make a trivial, legal point about the First Amendment. He chose to make headlines in support of the mosque project, and he won't be able to walk them back now with this sprinkling of doubt. All he'll do is frustrate some of the people who so eagerly welcomed his words yesterday as a return to form.

I bought my Mazda 3 from Kanata Mazda in July of 2011, which means that it is 5 years old this month. They were sending me reminders for service for years, but that stopped about 2 years ago. The reason I know that is that I finally realized that I had not serviced the car in a long time and took it in. They said it had been two years, which made sense, given that they stopped reminding me.
So … the agreed to range of pad wear seems to start around 48000 km, and my car is approaching 50000, so it makes sense that the brake pads would be inspected. Especially when you consider that you can see the pads through the wheels without taking the wheels off.
They looked at all 4 tires, because they marked them all as 5/32 remaining tread. They also mentioned that I had a nail in the passenger rear tire, which accounted for the slow leak I experienced last year all summer. Yet they did not check the brakes.
I know this for two reasons:
1) They marked that it was not needed:
2) The breaks were metal on metal with 4 weeks, wrecking my rotors and forcing me to do an emergency brake pad replacement:
So what could they possibly have been thinking? The car has almost 50k on it and they have not seen it in 2 years. So ignore the brakes?
I have no idea how an organization can display such a disregard for basic procedure that takes almost zero time and has a direct bearing on safety. Sheer incompetence perhaps?

How LinkedIn plans to protect privacy of teens on its service
LinkedIn, the professional network with about 238 million members will soon welcome teens, 14 and up. Until now, the service was only open to people 18 and older. The company is launching what it's calling University Pages. About 200 universities have already signed-up, according to a LinkedIn blog post, including New York University, University of California San Diego, Fundação Getúlio Vargas, University of Michigan, Villanova,Rochester Institute of Technology and University of Illinois.
Why it makes sense
If you think about it, teens are engaged in careers too — the business of preparing for the rest of their lives. Many are college-bound and can benefit from the same type of networking as adult professionals. They need to learn about prospective schools not just from the college admissions offices but from alumni, current students at the school and other high-school students struggling with some of their same issues. And, like the rest of us, they need to do everything they can to enhance and promote their professional skills which, for high school students, involves putting together their own resume of sorts, including documenting not only their academic prowess but their life achievements.
[soundcloud url="http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/106263068″ params="" width=" 100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
Not just for college-bound
Although LinkedIn is emphasizing its college and university partnerships, the service is open to all teens, including those who plan to pursue other options including the workforce and the military. Networking isn't just for college-bound or college educated folks. There are plenty of other opportunities for young people outside of formal education.
Privacy and safety
But adding teens to the mix also means that LinkedIn staff needed to think about some of the same issues that other social networks grapple with including how to protect teens privacy, how to protect them from being bothered or harassed by others and how to make sure the teens use the service safely and respectfully.
"For us it was learning more about how teens operate on social networks in understanding what others before us have encountered to insure a safe environment for teens on LinkedIn,: said Sara Harrington A privacy page — the company's senior legal director for Intellectual property.
As a disclosure and to bring home this point, several months ago LinkedIn contacted ConnectSafely.org, the non-profit Internet safety organization where I serve as co-director to get our advice on how to help assure that teens have a safe and positive experience. LinkedIn also made a financial contribution to ConnectSafely (other major supporters include Facebook, Google, Trend Micro and Yahoo). Based on the advice from us, other experts and their own staff, LinkedIn is launching the service with special privacy protection for teens as well as a Safety Center that now includes a Family Center with advice for teens, parents, educators and law enforcement.
Privacy settings for teens are different than for adults:
- Teens' birth year will be hidden. After they turn 18, they will be given the option to display that information.
- Teens' profiles will automatically be prevented from appearing in public search engines such as Google and Bing.
- Teens' Profile photo will only be visible only to their "1st-degree" connections (people they connect with directly).
- Teens' professional headline won't be shown, to protect their privacy in search results.
- Teens' profile will default to first name, last name initial, and general region, instead of their full name and city for all languages using Latin script — e.g., English, French, Dutch, etc.)
- Teens will not receive promotional or informational "InMail messages" from LinkedIn's marketing and hiring partners.
- Teens; data will not be shared with 3rd-party applications, even if they :choose to install 3rd-party applications.
- Teens won't see ads from LinkedIn when looking at other websites.
- LinkedIn says that it won't collect information about teens when they are looking at other websites that partner with LinkedIn.
As with all privacy policies, the devil is in the details and we'll see how well the company adheres to its promises. Also, regardless of what the company tries to do, there is always the risk that people will misuse its service either by harming others or by harming or embarrassing themselves. Parents are advised to talk with their kids about how they plan to use LinkedIn and check-in with kids on a regular basis.
Different set of norms
And, in case it isn't already obvious, teens on LinkedIn need to remember that this is a professional network, which means it has a different set of norms and expectations than social networks. Based on what I see from my own activity on LinkedIn, it appears that most adults understand that. My guess is that the vast majority of teens on LinkedIn will too.

(written from a Production point of view)
The Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant is located in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Southern California, on the ground of the Woodley Park, which is also known for its Japanese Garden. Its address is 6100 Woodley Avenue, between Victory Boulevard and Burbank Boulevard. The 2.63 hectare (6.5-acre) Japanese Garden, designed by Dr. Koichi Kawana, was built between 1980 and 1983 and celebrated its opening in 1984.
Named after city engineer Donald C. Tillman, the plant began operating in 1985. Because of its futuristic look, the plant and garden are well known filming locations, mostly for their various Star Trek appearances mixed with matte paintings.
The location can also be seen in episodes of Knight Rider (1986), Murder, She Wrote (1993), Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1995), L.A. Heat (1997), Charmed (1999), and Numb3rs (2009) and was featured in the action comedy Dead Heat (1988, starring Joe Piscopo), the crime drama Rising Sun (1993), the science fiction film CyberTracker (1994), the action film Red Sun Rising (1994), the comedy Bio-Dome (1996), the comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), the thriller Most Wanted (1997), the science fiction thriller Terminal Error (2002, with Marina Sirtis and Michael Nouri), and the science fiction film Sci-Fighter (2004). [1]
Star Trek: The Next Generation Edit
The first appearance of the location was seen in the first season episode "Justice" in 1987 when the plant and the garden portrayed the surface of the planet Rubicun III. The scenes were filmed on 11 September 1987.
Extended with a matte painting by Illusion Arts, Inc. and Syd Dutton it made its second appearance in the fifth season episode "The First Duty" in 1992. This time it was used as the grounds of the Starfleet Academy on Earth. The cast and crew filmed the exterior scenes on Monday 27 January 1992. This was the first time location manager Lisa White coordinated the filming with the cooperation of the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant associates Bob Krivak and Gene Green. According to the call sheet for this day, sunrise was at 6:56 a.m. and sunset at 5:20 p.m. The lunch break was between 12:00 and 12:30 p.m. and the catering service Cynthia's Distinctive Catering provided 110 hot lunches. Beside actors Patrick Stewart, Wil Wheaton, Ray Walston, and Richard Rothenberg, eighteen background talents and three stand-ins worked on location. It was also the first time DGA Trainee David G. Trotti worked on The Next Generation. The set decoration required two statues, fake rocks, flags and a flag pole, and a tool bin.
The location shot extended with a matte painting from "The First Duty" was later re-used for the fifth season cliffhanger "Time's Arrow".
The TNG Season 4 DVD special feature "New Life and New Civilizations" featured several shots of this location.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Edit
The production of Deep Space Nine used the location in 1995 as Starfleet Headquarters ground in the fourth season episodes "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost". Again, matte paintings were added.
Another matte painting including the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant can be seen in the seventh season episode "The Changing Face of Evil" portraying Starfleet Headquarters after the Breen attack.
Star Trek: Voyager Edit
Outdoor scenes for the first season episode "Time and Again" were filmed at the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in 1994. (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages, p. 136) The plant's Japanese garden, normally seen in many other Star Trek episodes shot at the plant, is not seen this time, however, but rather the industrial-looking front part of the main building is shown portraying the building on the unnamed planet.
In 1998 the location was again used as the Starfleet Headquarters grounds, recreated at Terrasphere 8, for the fifth season episode "In the Flesh". According to the call sheets, the scenes were filmed on Tuesday 7 July 1998 and Wednesday 8 July 1998 under director David Livingston. The call sheets feature the notes "Be prepared for very hot weather – dress accordingly – use sunscreen" and "No smoking or eating within the gardens. Do not travel or work off the dirt paths within the garden.". The first day of filming also features an attached map guiding people from Paramount Pictures to the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant. It's also listing Gene Green and Patrick as contacts for the location. Breakfast and lunch was provided by The Arrangement and Lisa White worked as location manager.
The location can be also seen in the sixth season episode "Pathfinder" via a recycled shot from DS9: "Homefront".
Star Trek: Enterprise Edit
The Tillman Water Reclamation Plant was also added to a matte painting for several episodes of Enterprise again as location for Starfleet Headquarters. The matte painting first appeared in the first season episode "Shadows of P'Jem" and later in the episodes "Shockwave, Part II", "Regeneration", "First Flight", and "Home". A long shot was used in "Demons". Actors Adam Anello, Amy Kate Connolly, Bobby Pappas, and an unknown actress were placed in this shot.

Good morning everybody,
The button "Print" in the main toolbar immediately starts the printer to print. With this button there's no possibility to adjust printing settings (B/W or Color, Nbr of copies, print-quality etc..) in advance. This is only possible via the menu "File" > "Page Setup...". I did not find this entry in the customization pane > available toolbar buttons. Is there a possibility to create a button in the main toolbar for the function "Page Setup" and if so, how to do ?
Thanks and regards

The paper titled "UK energy policy and Scotland's contribution to security of supply" said that the UK government's uncertainty on securing energy supply is risking higher bills and blackouts.
It added that an independent Scotland would be able to help keep the lights on, but would demand to have greater influence on UK energy policy as well as help Westminster meet its 2020 green energy targets.
"As a substantial supplier to the rest of the UK, an independent Scotland will require a far greater degree of oversight of the market arrangements for energy and firmer safeguards over Scottish energy security.
"Scotland offers safe and secure supplies of electricity and gas and can assist the rest of the UK in meeting its renewable energy targets."
Scottish energy minister Fergus Ewing added: "The more capacity you have available — especially from lower marginal cost generation such as renewables — the lower wholesale energy prices will be, again highlighting the value of Scottish generation to every household across these islands."
In March, Scotland-based SSE, one of the Big Six energy suppliers, said should the outcome of the referendum result in an independent Scotland, negotiations would follow with the likely result being a single British energy market.
In February, SSE withdrew plans to construct two Scottish wind farms with a combined capacity of 117MW because they were deemed to be no longer "financially viable".
The Scottish government's new report comes just days before the UK's Department for Energy and Climate Change (Decc) is to release its own paper on the consequences on the energy market of a Yes vote in September's referendum.
Decc is expected to say the Scottish government's drive for wind power generation could lead to soaring bills in Scotland as consumers will need to pay for increases in capacity.
Energy secretary Ed Davey told the Scottish Renewables annual conference in Edinburgh last month that Scotland would have to compete with other renewable energy exporters to win UK contracts.

The most wonderful time of the year is upon us once again; flowers bloom, seeds sprout, and chefs on the strip change their menus. With a cornucopia of fresh, seasonal ingredients from around the world become available to experiment with.
For the most dedicated of foodies and industry pros, this is the NFL Draft, the Oscars, and The Bachelor season premier all in one. Through pain-staking research and much caloric-intake, brought before you here are the best of the best, displaying the great skill, creativity, and utilization of spring's great green bounty.
Anyone familiar with the cooking style of Executive Chef Nicole Brisson knows the near-Sisyphean lengths she takes to procure seasonal vegetables, even ones with such short windows of availability like pea greens and ramps. She utilizes the half-dill/half-basil flavor of fresh, living pea tendrils in many of her dishes when she can, and crisp, flavorful watermelon raddish in her marinated scallops. Light, sweet, very rare scallops are topped with a salad of root vegetable, herb, and English pea puree, a perfectly fresh and clean taste of the sea.
There is never an unoriginal dish at Yonaka, and this dish shows the kind of outside-the-box thinking they are known for. Creamy, savory uni butter and bits of salty uni "bottarga" top a simple split cob of fire roasted corn. It's a very interesting combination, but Chef Ramir can always be counted on to bring items from any cuisine together in great ways.
With each menu changeover, Chef Paul Lee has ventured further and further into unique territory, further cementing Le Cirque as one of the most expressive, artful menus on the strip. Dishes like this one exemplify that, taking sautéed Florida frog's legs and creamy potato gnocchi, pairing it with spring ramps (a member of the leek family with a slightly garlic flavor), tomato confit, parsley coulis, and mimolette 'crisps'. The result is a wonderful palate, highlighting the quality of the ingredients and dazzling the palate with its savory, bright flavors.
It is of course fitting that one of the premier seafood restaurants in Vegas would have a stellar scallop dish. This one in particular takes soft, seared scallops and perches them on a shrimp carpaccio with octopus medallions. These are in a lemon buerre blanc and bouillabaisse gel, with shaved fennel, micro carrots, and blistered tomatoes. Owner Chef Rick Moonen and Executive Chef Johnny Church knock it out of the park with this one, with an old-world set of flavors presented in a perfectly unique, complex way. The quality of the seafood is on amazing display in this dish.
It was big news a while ago when Chef Gerald Chin went from the Wicked Spoon buffet to head up Michael Mina's steak house, and now with this spring menu changeover, we have his first original dishes on a set menu. Among several real winners (a foie trio with a cured mousse macaroon is a notable one), perhaps the most exiting dish is the "Instant Bacon". It is a cube of pork belly, rubbed in Chinese five spice and roasted, with a tempura oyster, soy glaze, and perched on a jicama salad. The "Instant" part that makes it bacon, it is placed under glass and inundated with hardwood smoke. Calling it bacon doesn't do the justice, because the final product is so complex and unique, it has shot past the realm of bacon into a whole new territory.
Chef Daniel Ontiveros is the new Chef de Cuisine at the Vegas location of Comme Ca, taking the place of now Corporate Executive Chef Brian Howard, and among a great collection of new dishes is their Loup de Mere. First coated in aromatic tumeric oil, the fish is pan roasted for a crispy exterior and served with charred lemon butter, green garlic sauce, and melted spring onion. It is a great departure from less risky Loup de Meres too commonly seen, and the trio of strong flavors only compliments the fish, not overpowers it. Fun tricks like tumeric oil (or the saffron aoli on their seared foie dish) are portentous of even more great things still to come from Comme Ca.
Loup de Mere
This menu change represents the efforts of both consulting Chef Alex Stratta and new Chef de Cuisine Jose Aleman. After a period of experimenting and training, nearly the whole menu has been revamped, including this extremely fun duck salad.
Moist, rich duck balanced against crisp julienne pink apple and sweet heritage grapes, it's the perfect balance of sweet and savory, fat and acid.
Chef Jose Avila has been doing some really impressive things for the various beer or wine dinners the Mandalay Bay hosts, and using that outlet to build a great menu with the hits. Using offal to great success, this spicy soup of tripe and tongue has a big spice flavor, but is addictively savory. It's rustic, but dishes like this (and the best octopus I've had in a LONG time) that will assert Fleur ahead of less adept small-plates.
I can honestly say I have never had a poorly executed dish at Sage. Chef Richard Caramota is almost superhuman with hitting just the exact right notes with a dish, and the lamb loin is no exception. The lean slices of loin were complimented by morels and a charred spring onion reduction, and plated on top of a spring pea/wheat berry salad (imagine if bulgur and lentils had a baby, and it was raised by flax).
Then, the real kicker, leaves from celery hearts. The green, young bitter leaves add such a unique aromatic flavor, and from such a humble source. Yet another great dish among many great dishes on that menu.
As I've said in the past, Chef Steve Aguglia has taken Aquaknox to new and exciting levels every menu change. I wanted to put their incredible Chicken Tandoori on this list as well, but in the interest of round numbers, let us just imagine I did that one too. The dish that tied with the chicken but I felt displayed more of their spirit was the Wild-Caught Washington Halibut.
Harvested on a Quinault Indian tribe and processed that day (Halibut is rarely ever day-boat), they poach it in butter, sear it, and plate it with a shrimp, corn, and edamame succotash with basil-butter. The fish has a ton of meaty, buttery flavor, and goes well with the super fresh and unique succotash.
Aquaknox has been going way above and beyond with their sourcing (much of their produce, herbs, and microgreens comes from Pahrump and surrounding farms), and really taking the task of churning out exiting food every menu change. Dishes like this are rising them to some real specific prominence.

This weekend the Dallas Safari Club (DSC) plans to auction off the chance to kill one of the world's last black rhinos—and shockingly, the U.S. government may be okay with it despite the species' protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. According to DSC, which describes itself as both a pro-conservation and pro-hunting group, the proceeds of the January auction will go toward African conservation efforts, thereby creating a loophole that would allow the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to grant a permit to import the dead animal as a trophy. (See "Rhino Hunt Permit Auction Sets Off Conservation Debate.")
With around 1,800 black rhinos remaining in Namibia (where the hunt is slated to take place) out of a worldwide population of only 5,055, the announcement has caused more than a few double-takes. Comedian Stephen Colbert nailed it when he ripped into the obvious irony of the "kill it to save it" argument on his show The Colbert Report in October when the scheme was announced.
As Colbert pointed out with biting satire, the idea of creating a bidding war for the opportunity to gun-down one of the last of a species ostensibly in the name of conservation is perverse and dangerous to buy into. It promotes the economic axiom that scarcity equals value when dealing with living species. If an animal like the rare black rhinoceros is worth the most with a price on its head, what possible incentive does this provide range countries and local people to move the species toward recovery when the biggest buck can be made short-term by selling permits to kill them to the highest bidders?
We've seen this perverse economic incentive happen with polar bears and tigers, where perceived rarity has caused "collectors" to rush out and try to kill or own the last pieces of these animals, and the price for their parts have sky-rocketed, thereby making extinction that much more likely.
Another economic problem with DSC's proposed one-off kill-for-conservation is the fallacy that this is the best way to raise money for conservation. DSC Executive Director Ben Carter offered his support for the auction to the Dallas Observer when he said, "People are talking about 'Why don't you do a photo safari?' or whatever. Well, that's great, but people don't pay for that."
But the truth is that non-hunting ecotourism, such as the photo safaris that Carter scoffs at, provide much greater revenue to Africa, which is a real incentive to keep rhino populations plentiful. Indeed, ecotourism has become such an important part of some African countries' economies that governments are taking steps against hunting in order to protect this flourishing industry. For example, last year, Botswana announced a ban on hunting permits, citing its booming ecotourism sector—which now makes up 12% of national GDP—as the primary factor. Compare this to trophy hunting, which as a portion of any national economy never accounts for more than 0.27 percent of the GDP.
And while a one-time killing of a rare rhino will bring in instant cash, the result is that there is now one less rhino for all other future tourists to see, so the possible revenue generated by this animal ends right there with one vainglorious hunt for a single wealthy American.
The truth isn't complicated: People do pay to see wild animals, without feeling the need to hack off their body parts for a private viewing in their living rooms back in Texas. In fact, a recent Synovate poll found that 70.4 percent of Americans would pay to view another disappearing species—lions—on an African safari, while only 6.6 percent of Americans would pay to hunt them.
The auction to kill one of the last wild black rhinos is just another example of the warped logic that's exploiting our wildlife "for their own good." It is pushing a species like the iconic black rhino closer to extinction by telling the world that rhinos are worth more to us rare and dead than healthy and flourishing in the wild where they belong.

The Occupy movements, in addition to being some of the most important activist movements to come along in the United States in several decades, have helped underscore several societal crises. For example, the failure of the establishment media and the rise of the beltway pundit class, the disappearance of public space, and also vanishing civil liberties, to name only a few.
Occupy has also served as a reminder of the ever-present police state, which rather than acting to "serve and protect," oftentimes crushes and suppresses freedom of expression. We've witnessed this in obvious, overt, batshit crazy behavior like police using horses to stampede into a Times Square crowd, and when Oakland police turned their city into a war zone. But there are subtler, far sneakier ways so-called public servants such as firefighters and the police, and by extension city officials, use the law as a weapon, or a convenient scapegoat, to control a rebellious faction of the population.
I'm going to examine two recent examples in this post, but they are by no means meant to be a complete list. To highlight all of the ways police use the law to suppress the Occupy movements would take a book-length effort.
First, there's the odd timing of the NYFD confiscating Occupy Wall Street's generators and fuel because they supposedly posed a danger. OWS has been in possession of these generators and fuel for quite some time, but the fire department chose to seize them the day before the first snow of the season is due. It's not unreasonable to suggest that Mayor Bloomberg, who previously lost a showdown with protesters over the cleaning of Liberty Park, now feels he needs to get creative with the eviction process.
Placing protesters under constant police surveillance hasn't scared them off, nor have mass arrests, or physical abuse by police officers. If anything, these kinds of assault by the city have strengthened the movement's public popularity. A recent Quinnipiac University survey reported that 67 percent of New York City voters said they agree with the protesters' views. A whopping 72 percent of voters said law-abiding demonstrators can stay "as long as they want." Throughout the occupation, Bloomberg has looked painfully out-of-touch and foolish on several occasions, and even inept as a city leader. Surely, that has provided him with enough motivation to disguise protest sabotage as public safety.
Then there's the outrageous example of Occupy Tucson, one of the comparatively smaller Occupy movements that has suffered a disproportionately large percentage of arrests. On any given weekday, there are about 100 occupiers demonstrating in city parks, according to Tucson Sergeant Maria Hawk. That's not exactly a wild surge in the population, or anything that should overwhelm the city. Yet, an astonishing 351 protesters have been arrested since the genesis of the movement. Hawk admits "most of the arrests were for remaining in a city park after hours." This was also one of the excuses given in Oakland, along with the usual, "your fuel tanks are going to raze the entire city to the ground" speech.
The citation carries a $1000 fine, a potential prison sentence of six months in jail, and up to three years probation. Tucson activists rightly view this as an effort by police to bleed the movement financially instead of using bad PR-generating pepper spray and batons. While Occupy Wall Street got its moments to publicly "battle" the police and display how a force gone wild stifles dissent, Tucson is being quietly suffocated in the dead of night, and most of the public will be none the wiser.
What's so deeply nefarious about this kind of civil rights assassination is that curfew and fire safety laws were created with genuine good intentions. It makes sense to not want individuals walking around in secluded, dark spaces at night, or not allow people to create bonfires in the middle of grounds covered in dry grass. But these well-meaning laws are now being used to crush the First Amendment.
Some readers might be asking themselves: But Allison, how can we tell the difference between when the cops are trying to protect citizens, and when they're using public safety laws to disguise protest sabotage? Well, it's quite easy. Here's an example: Let's give the OPD some credit and assume they really were concerned protesters were going to start a fire with their fuel. Why not walk in and seize the equipment? Why escalate the enforcement of a public safety regulation into full-blown warfare on the streets of Oakland, including critically injuring a war veteran? Unless, of course, what happened in Oakland was never about public safety, and all about crushing the will of the protesters. It's not very safe for the public to, say, shoot them with rubber bullets, tear gas them, and explode flash bang grenades in their midsts.
Another example: Let's assume the NYPD is super freaked out by OWS having generators. Why wait until the day before first snowfall to seize them? Were these generators not a public safety issue on the first day of the occupation? What was special about October 28, 2011 that suddenly turned generators into Public Enemy Number One? Unless, of course, this has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with crushing one of the most successful branches of the Occupy movement.
The answers to these questions should seem fairly obvious to anyone who is familiar with how law enforcement agencies prefer to handle public dissent. The NYPD, OPD, and Tucson police don't want a bloody, drawn out war on their hands. It'll look terrible in the media, and public sentiment is already on the side of the protesters.
What police and city officials prefer is a death by a thousand subtle little cuts. Take the generators, issue tickets, pull down the tents, and make life unbearable for the protesters. Hope they give up and go home when it snows, and if that doesn't work, try to freeze the bastards out.

We've already discussed options for audience connection like eye contact and movement. To help find new inspiration for Stephanie this week, I went to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential Memorial in Washington, DC, on a picture-perfect day, for three reasons: FDR was a master speaker whose words guided the nation through its most challenging times; his wife, Eleanor, was an inspiring woman speaker who doubted her own abilities, yet inspired the world; and finally, the memorial itself gives me inspiration on how to get audiences engaged. Here's what we can learn from the memorial about audience connections:
- Make a connection with content: Where do you fit in the program? If you're the only speaker, your context is the organization and what the audience is there to hear. But if you're one of many speakers--at a conference or on a panel--you can help your audience connect your remarks to those of other speakers, drawing together disparate threads into a sense-of-the-meeting. That's true whether you agree or disagree with other speakers, by the way.
- Make a connection with hands-on participation: Let the audience experience your talk using all their senses. Can they talk? Ask questions? Come forward as a volunteer? Share what they know? Do an exercise at their seats? Create something and learn from you in the time you are speaking? All of those are ways to make your audience feel they are participating and contributing to your speech.
- Listen to your audience to connect: Just as Eleanor Roosevelt did, listen to your audience. Take the time to ask them what they think or want to ask; make sure you don't use all the available time with your remarks, to be sure they have time for discussion and questions; and spend some time before you ever approach the microphone talking to people who may be in the audience about what they want to hear.
- Let your audience see themselves in your talk: Can your audience relate to what you're saying? One of the best ways to connect is to show them to themselves: Use pictures or video of the crowd (best if they're taken while the audience isn't aware); project their questions or their Twitter feed on a screen; or let them tell you examples and issues that illustrate your talk. When the audience can see itself reflected in your remarks, visuals and volunteers, you stand a better chance of making a firm connection.

Seahawks star Lynch walks out of Media Day
Seattle Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch has made an early exit at Super Bowl media day.
The running back abruptly left the session Tuesday, walking out after 6 1/2 minutes. He will be subject to a fine from the NFL.
Earlier this month, Lynch was fined $50,000 for not cooperating with the Seattle media. The NFL put the fine on hold, saying it would be rescinded if his behavior improved.
At this required Super Bowl gathering, Lynch was standing on the floor of the Prudential Center among a cluster of about 100 reporters. Other Seattle stars were at podiums, separated from the throng.
Lynch answered a half-dozen questions before walking away. He spoke to someone for a moment, then left the arena.
The Seattle and Denver players were expected to speak to media members during the 45-minute session that lead up to Sunday's game.

Legal Resources | United States Code, Title 20 | 7265a
Findings And Purposes
(a) FINDINGS- Congress finds the following:
(1) Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians have been linked for over 200 years to the coastal towns of Salem, Massachusetts, and New Bedford, Massachusetts, through the China trade from Salem and whaling voyages from New Bedford.
(2) Nineteenth-century trading ships sailed from Salem, Massachusetts, around Cape Horn of South America, and up the Northwest coast of the United States to Alaska, where their crews traded with Alaska Native people for furs, and then went on to Hawaii to trade for sandalwood with Native Hawaiians before going on to China.
(3) During the 19th century, over 2,000 whaling voyages sailed out of New Bedford, Massachusetts to the Arctic region of Alaska, and joined Alaska Natives from Barrow, Alaska and other areas in the Arctic region in subsistence whaling activities.
(4) Many New Bedford whaling voyages continued on to Hawaii, where they joined Native Hawaiians from the neighboring islands.
(5) From those commercial and whaling voyages, a rich cultural exchange and strong trading relationships developed among the three peoples involved.
(6) In the past decades, awareness of the historical trading, cultural, and whaling links has faded among Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and the people of the continental United States.
(7) In 2000, the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Alaska, the Bishop Museum in Hawaii, and the Peabody-Essex Museum in Massachusetts initiated the New Trade Winds project to use 21st-century technology, including the Internet, to educate students and their parents about historic and contemporary cultural and trading ties that continue to link the diverse cultures of the peoples involved.
(8) The New Bedford Whaling Museum, in partnership with the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, has developed a cultural exchange and educational program with the Inupiat Heritage Center in Barrow, Alaska to bring together the children, parents, and elders from the Arctic region of Alaska with children and families of Massachusetts to learn about their historical ties and about each other's contemporary cultures.
(9) Within the fast-growing cultural sector, meaningful educational and career opportunities based on traditional relationships exist for Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and low-income youth in Massachusetts.
(10) Cultural institutions can provide practical, culturally relevant, education-related internship and apprentice programs, such as the Museum Action Corps at the Peabody-Essex Museum and similar programs at the New Bedford Oceanarium and other institutions, to prepare youths and their families for careers in the cultural sector.
(11) The resources of the institutions described in paragraphs (7) and (8) provide unique opportunities for illustrating and interpreting the contributions of Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, the whaling industry, and the China trade to the economic, social, and environmental history of the United States, for educating students and their parents, and for providing opportunities for internships and apprenticeships leading to careers with cultural institutions.
(b) PURPOSES- The purposes of this subpart are the following:
(1) To authorize and develop innovative culturally-based educational programs and cultural exchanges to assist Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and children and families of Massachusetts linked by history and tradition to Alaska and Hawaii to learn about shared culture and traditions.
(2) To authorize and develop internship and apprentice programs to assist Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and children and families of Massachusetts linked by history and tradition with Alaska and Hawaii to prepare for careers with cultural institutions.
(3) To supplement programs and authorities in the area of education to further the objectives of this subpart.
(4) To authorize and develop cultural and educational programs relating to any Federally recognized Indian tribe in Mississippi.
(Public Law 109-149, Sec. 306(1).)

America's biggest sporting event is right around the corner and while many people will tune into the Super Bowl just to see the whacky, million dollar commercials and The Who play the halftime show, some of us are also interested in the actual game itself.
This year's Super Bowl will pit the top team from the NFC against the top team from the AFC as the New Orleans Saints march into their first ever Super Bowl to take on the Indianapolis Colts. It's the first time since Super Bowl XXVIII in '94 that features the top seeded teams from each conference.
But who has the edge in this match-up of the NFL's best and what will it take for each team to pull out the victory?
For the Saints to win: They need to try and run the ball. New Orleans ran for just 68 yards against a much tougher Vikings run defense in the NFC Championship but to have good success against the Colts, they need more from their running game. I don't mean that Drew Brees needs to hand the ball off 35-40 times but teams like the Dolphins and Jets, who have given the Colts trouble this season, have done it on the ground where the Indy defense is a bit vulnerable. Keeping a healthy running attack on the field also keeps Peyton Manning on the sidelines.
For the Colts to win: They need to stick with what they do best, which is airing out the ball. It's important to get a healthy mix of the running attack involved, of course. But when push comes to shove the Colts are a pass-first team and there isn't a person on this Earth who can dissect an NFL defense through the air like Manning. If they can protect him and get a few stops on defense, the Colts will be in good shape.
Key factor: The play-making ability of the Saints defense. Guys like Darren Sharper have made a living this season by getting timely interceptions and forcing fumbles. In fact, it was the biggest difference in their victory over the Vikings (just ask Brett Favre). If they can get a little bit of pressure up the middle on Manning and force him to rush some throws (like the Jets were able to do early in the AFC Championship game), that will open the door for Sharper and the defense to make a big play.
Outcome: It's nearly impossible to predict, with any certainty, a game between two teams that are as good as the Colts and Saints have been all season. It almost sounds like a cop-out but, seriously, anything can happen in this game. I expect a high scoring game not all that different than the NFC Championship game the Saints won to get to this point and I wouldn't be shocked if the Super Bowl MVP came from the defensive side of the ball (guys like Darren Sharper, Antoine Bethea come to mind). It's close, but I'll take the underdog Saints, 38-35.

Hear from our members around the world
I've come away from each and every Ellevate event with a fresh idea I could implement immediately to improve my business. What's Ellevate's secret? The organization's inclusiveness. Everyone is welcome. Everyone has something to offer. Everyone benefits. It's quite remarkable.
No matter how successful a woman is, she never tires of learning from or meeting other successful women. Ellevate events, particularly our annual forum, encourage the flow of knowledge and strategies between members. There is a tangible ROI to being a part of the network.
I joined the network because I wanted to be a part of a community of vibrant, dynamic women. I've stayed in the network and am a proud Chicago Chapter Leader because I believe in supporting, investing and serving this community of vibrant, dynamic women.
Ellevate has been instrumental in building my network as well as my company's advisory board and investors. The organization has given me the opportunity to lead a chapter and give back to the community through education.
I joined Ellevate when I was searching for a women's organization comprised of women committed to helping each other achieve their success. From the moment I connected with Ellevate, I have felt as though I were adopted into a family of 34,000 women who care about me and my impact in the community.
The network has helped elevate my career by teaching me, through example, how powerful a force for change a group of similarly motivated women can be. With one of our globe's greatest assets – women's brains – being underutilized, it is a refreshing honor to be part of a global group changing that in so many ways and across so many industries.
I couldn't have built GoldieBlox without the help and support of others. Ellevate cultivates a culture of networking with other women, that is not only good practice, but instrumental to growth and development both personally and professionally.

Cool. You can reach me at email@example.com or 647-629-4330. I can play tomorrow and on.
Hello Susan, I live on the Danforth near Riverdale Park, if you'd care to have a game or hit balls there. I could bike somewhere close to there too, like Moss Park near Yonge, or somewhere else. My play availability is flexible.
Hi Susan, I live at Yonge/Eglinton, there are a couple of courts nearby if you wanna play some rallies .
please let me know

Seven days might be enough for America to salute craft beer — American Craft Beer Week runs May 14-20 — but it won't be enough for Chicago.
That's why the third annual Chicago Craft Beer Week will be spread over 11 days, from May 17-27. We have a few early details, and it sounds as if beer lovers should clear the week. Ahem, 11 days.
Festivities will again begin with Beer Under Glass at Garfield Park Conservatory, where last year more than 25 craft breweries poured their suds in one of the city's most verdant and lush landscapes. The conservatory, heavily damaged in a hail storm last summer, is now fully reopened, but continues to rebuild.
Tickets for Beer Under Glass will go on sale March 1 at the conservatory website. Tickets will cost $40 from March 1 to April 30, $50 between May 1 and May 16 and $60 on the day of the event. I hate to stir the craft beer frenzy pot, but tickets sold out in two weeks last year. With interest in craft beer still soaring and events like Goose Island's Stout Fest selling out in one minute earlier this month, they'll probably go quicker this year.
The other scheduled event at the moment is at the end of Chicago Craft Beer Week: a closing party featuring Illinois beers at Revolution Brewing's still-under-construction production facility at 3340 N. Kedzie Ave. Ticket information is not yet available, but will be at the Chicago Craft Beer Week website some time in early March.
Based on a couple of conversations with Peter Crowley, president of the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild, which is organizing Chicago Craft Beer Week, it sounds as if this year's event will be a bit smoother than last.
In 2011, the brewer's guild hired a New York promoter to organize Chicago Craft Beer Week. The promoter brought with him a vaguely convoluted system that involved buying a $10 passport for the week and collecting a series of bottle caps at different bars that could be redeemed for merchandise. That's out this year.
The bigger issue last year was that bars were charged $250 or more to participate in Craft Beer Week. Several bar owners took umbrage, including Michael Roper of Hopleaf. The division between officially participating bars and unofficially participating bars — like Hopleaf — left beer lovers scrambling among websites trying to piece together the calendar of events for themselves.
In 2012, any bar that has poured craft beer and regularly maintained its draft lines for the last year is eligible to participate — no charge. Crowley expects about 200 bars in the city and suburbs to qualify. All of those bars will be able to upload their events to the Chicago Craft Beer Week website, centralizing information about the dozens (hundreds?) of events happening. Hallelujah.
Roper said he has already been contacted by several breweries about staging events, and will happily participate.
"I went to a meeting and liked what I heard," he said. "It's better this year."
Crowley, who owns Haymarket Pub and Brewery, said frustration with Craft Beer Week 2011 spurred plenty of local beer folk to pitch in on this year's version.
"We always wanted to do it in-house, but didn't have the organization or people to do it," he said. "Once we went outside of our house, a lot of people suddenly jumped on board and said they would help."
As for the week itself, Crowley said there will be loads of rare beer tappings, beer pairing dinners, tap takeovers and visiting craft beer luminaries. He said participating bars will be divided into 13 zones, and each bar will have a featured beer selling for $4 during the 11 days. Drinkers who try two featured beers in six of the zones will have access to a VIP area at the closing party where "super rare beers" will be poured.
"It's gonna be a crazy 10 days for sure," Crowley said.

This post is the first in a short series on "What I learned in my undergrad neuroscience classes." Today, I describe a few fascinating neurological disorders.
Have you watched episodes of medical shows like Grey's Anatomy or House and wondered where they come up with some of their disorders? Are there really people out there who feel no pain, or who only have half a brain? There are. In undergrad I took a few neuroscience classes and learned fascinating details about neurological disorders. It seems that if you want to understand how the brain works, one of the best approaches is look at what happens when parts of the brain malfunction. Although I've forgotten 85% of what I learned, some of the more unbelievable details have stuck with me, and I thought I'd share a few of them with you today. So without further ado, here are some of the neurological disorders that I can't get out of my head:
