Daily failure does not prove Joplin Globe cannot be successfully challenged
When the news of the Joplin Daily's Jan. 1, 2006 launch leaked, it appeared that publication might finally be the challenger that could put a dent into the Globe. The concept was novel- a website with a weekly newspaper designed to direct readers to the website rather than the other way around.
The folks at GateHouse Media did some things right:
-The hiring of John Hacker, the area's best reporter, indicated GateHouse was preparing to launch a serious challenge.
-A strong emphasis on school coverage and a reporter, Kaylea Hutson, with experience in that area.
-An early blitz of publicity, including radio, television, and billboards.
Unfortunately, that was about it. GateHouse never made a serious attempt at creating a viable alternative to the Joplin Globe. And once a challenger fails, and fails miserably, it makes it that much more difficult for another challenger to succeed.
The Daily had its moments, many provided by Hacker, who put in his usual 100 percent effort, but you can't beat a solidly-entrenched newspaper with a journalism-as-usual approach. People are not going to go to a new newspaper just to read a different version of a city council meeting or to catch breaking news 15 minutes before it appears on the Globe website.
What went wrong with the Joplin Daily?
1. GateHouse officials promoted the first issue heavily, but then failed to get copies of the print edition to much of Joplin, and the same areas were never adequately sampled (many were never sampled at all). There are Joplin residents who will never mourn the passing of the newspaper, because they never knew it existed.
2. Except for positive news reporting, the paper never demonstrated any major differences between its brand of reporting and the brand employed by the Globe.
3. The Daily had few, if any, stories that would create the kind of water cooler buzz that would steer readers in its direction. Hacker and his staff did their jobs well, but never had the kind of major scoops that could put the Daily on the map. A lot of that was due to the pressures placed on what was essentially a three-person staff to put out a daily publication, something that is virtually impossible if you plan to adequately cover a town of 40,000 plus.
4. Promotion for the Daily was non-existent after the first few weeks. GateHouse never gave it a chance.
5. The Daily never had even one full-time ad salesperson and never had anyone who made a concentrated sales pitch for the web product.
The Joplin Daily should never have existed if GateHouse didn't plan to give it a fighting chance to succeed. Sadly, it could have succeeded, and would have had at least a ray of hope if the following steps had been taken:
1. The website should have been easier to navigate instead of being one of GateHouse's cookie-cutter sites. A greater emphasis on comments and discussion could have kept readers coming back to the website every day.
2. The minute the decision was made to make the website and not the print edition the focus, GateHouse should have emphasized links, links, and more links. Links should have been offered to anything remotely connected with Joplin, the school systems, city offices, the public library, businesses. If people want to know what is going on in Joplin, this would have given them a one-stop site, which would make it far more attractive to potential advertisers.
3. Make up for the lack of manpower by using links to increase coverage of Joplin news. The Daily could have offered links to legislation sponsored by Joplin's representatives and senator, legislation that affected Joplin residents or businesses, on the state or national level. Provide links to newspaper stories about Roy Blunt, Kit Bond, Claire McCaskill, Matt Blunt, other statewide officials. When people or businesses with connections to Joplin are in the news provide links to the stories. Links could have been done quickly and could have greatly expanded the coverage provided by the Daily.
4. Take major issues that hit the city and featurize them. Keep providing the nuts-and-bolts coverage, but blanket the website with information and features. Show how the major news stories affect the readers. Scan or link to documents that provide background. Obviously, a small staff does not have the capability to take on the Globe on every story, but by picking and choosing the right battles and offering far more coverage on those stories, the Daily could have staked out a claim to readership. Alternative publications thrive in many areas across the United States.
5. Build a stable of columnists that people actually want to read. One failure of the Daily is that it never had regular columnists that people want to come back to read every day or every week. In a town where the Globe's Mike Pound is the only daily columnist, the target would not have to be set too high. Unfortunately, the Daily took the advertising department approach to lining up columnists. In other words, let's find a columnist who represents the Chamber, let's find one that covers this niche or that niche, the Humane Society or some museum. Forget about that nonsense. Find people who can write, and who are willing to share their opinions, and give them a forum. Find people who can tell a story.
6. Find things that are not being covered by the Globe and cover them well. The positive news about schools was a step in the right direction, but there are other areas that could also be effective. Media coverage, comings and goings at the radio and television stations and offer coverage of the trials and travails of the Joplin Globe itself. You certainly are not going to read about those in the Globe. The New York tabloids and the Village Voice constantly make hay by writing about problems at the New York Times.
7. Find a voice. The Daily never did. A competitor needs to be feisty and deliver stories with attitude and a little bit of a swagger. If the Globe is the voice of big business, then the Daily should have been the voice of the little guy.
Even a publication that employs the above strategies faces an uphill battle, but taking a different approach guarantees that your readers will be a part of the battle, and if you fail, at least you will leave something that will be remembered for a long time to come, something that unfortunately, will not be the fate of the Joplin Daily.
23 comments:
Specifically, here's how GateHouse blew it (Installment No. 1):
1. Naming Chip Watson as publisher of Joplin Daily. He had done a solid job with the Big Nickel, but knew next to nothing about running a newspaper. It was Watson who put the kabosh on the Daily hiring Randy as its first columnist. Randy probably would have done it for free. But no, Chip didn't want any association with Turner, figuring he was too controversial. Can you imagine the amount of additional hits the Daily would have received if it had been publishing Randy's column all this time? - 9:51 AM
No. 2:
The best move Watson made was taking Neosho publisher Rick Rogers and making him the unofficial sports editor of the Daily. In about a two month period, the Daily was outhustling the Globe and really cutting its teeth. Sports fans were claiming that the Daily provided much better coverage than the Globe, which was experiencing its own internal problems in that area. The crucial mistake Watson made was allowing Rogers to return to Neosho, without finding a qualified replacement. The edge the Daily had over the Globe in sports reporting soon evaporated. - 10:00 AM
No. 3:
In April, the Daily replaced Watson with Randy Blaukat as publisher. Blaukat knew even less than Watson about running a newspaper. Regarded as GateHouse's Internet guru, he never did anything to change the Daily's cookie-cutter web site. His impact on the paper was neglible. The Daily started to fade from the public's consciousness, and never recovered. - 10:07 AM
- Randy said...
About a column for the Daily: As a matter of fact I agreed to do the column for free. John apologized to me for not being able to offer any money, but I was more interested in being part of what could have been a groundbreaking news strategy. I told John as long as The Turner Report and Small Town News could be mentioned with each column, I had no problem with it. The first issue of the Daily featured my update on the nieces of Nancy Cruzan. By this time, apparently Chip had decided he wanted nothing to do with me or my column. I had written a second column which focused on the death of a former Joplin journalist who had been the first reporter to put the news of JFK's death over the wire. I was told that Chip only wanted my column to run once a month or so. I did not believe Chip had any intention of ever running any more of my columns, but even if the once-a-month thing was what he wanted, I decided that was not worth my time or effort. The Daily could have easily succeeded without my columns, but there was never any effort made to get outside columnists who actually said something. Instead, the Daily relied on handouts from Governor Blunt and our area politicians, and niche columns designed to appeal to certain groups, but which almost never did.
No. 4: After several months of 60-hour weeks, Hacker began to burn out and run out of ideas. This is where a publisher who had some editorial skill could have helped out. Instead, Hacker got little support from GateHouse, except to be second-guessed and criticized. He started to be inconsistent in his reporting, even missing key events at times. GateHouse made a token effort to hire another person or two, but insulted them with low-ball offers. And in the middle of this, Kaylea Hutson went on a missions trip to Brazil. The new sports guy, David Barr, was mediocre at best. His reporting certainly didn't cause the Globe to lose any sleep.
Whatever happened to Levi Payton?
No. 5:
GateHouse drove another nail into the Daily's coffin in the fall by changing the paper's distribution date from Sunday to Friday. This was an ill-fated move for two reasons: It forced an unrealistic news deadline on Hacker, meaning that the Friday paper would have content that was three or four days old. And secondly, some people had grown accustomed to receiving the paper on Sunday and hardly gave the new Friday issue a look. To make matters worse, management never explained the move or the rationale to readers of the Daily. - 5:08 PM
No. 6:
The Daily changed publishers yet again, dumping Rodney Blaukat in favor of Chuck Elliott, a former ad man with the Globe. A much better choice would have been Rick Rogers at the Neosho Daily News. Rick, perhaps the only person at the local GateHouse with the ability to think outside the box, might have saved the sinking ship. Elliott, although a nice guy, simply had nothing to offer. The writing was on the wall: The Daily was doomed. - 5:18 PM
Did the Daily's lack of visibility hurt the paper? The news portion of the paper was tucked into the back of a strip mall on Rangeline, with no road frontage at all. Meanwhile The Globe has a very visible building downtown.
media critic hit it right on the head. With every post.
The biggest error made by the Daily was not letting "Hacker be Hacker."
Hacker is the best reporter in the area. He was a rookie administrator. And, instead, of giving him a solid news-based mentor, they gave him idiots. At least news-idiots.
Rick Rogers has his own paper to run. It is a shame there aren't more 'Ricks' to go around.
I have a strange feeling area papers will get worse before they get better. - 12:53 AM
John Hacker's mother makes excellent cookies. Can I get some?
I hear Hacker's holding out for a potato chip allowance at The Press. Any truth to that? - 8:40 AM
Potato chips and cookies - oh boy! The only thing better would be squirrels playing Battleship during a lightning storm.
squirrels in pantyhose
Isn't it just possible that it is no longer really possible to start-up a newspaper?
Surveys show fewer and fewer young people read a newspaper. Meanwhile older readers are unlikely to leave something they've been reading for 50 years (like the Globe). They also aren't likely to move to the Internet.
I feel very bad for everyone who lost a job or lost money, but didn't they know this was an uphill battle to begin with? - 10:40 AM
It's actually easier than ever before to start a newspaper. You can, in fact, do it from your home with a single computer. To GateHouse's credit, they came up with a novel concept and a nice slogan, "All Joplin...all the time." Unfortunately, they didn't have the upper management to make it work. The Globe is still vulnerable, but it's going to take someone who can think outside the box a bit to make it work.
It is true that Rick Rogers had his own paper to run. But would he have been more valuable to GateHouse saving JoplinDaily.com and averting a huge financial loss for the company? (Not to mention the embarrassment of the failed experiment.) Perhaps Rick could have worked half a day in Neosho and half a day in Joplin. The Neosho paper has such a strong editorial staff that it could have survived. I wonder if Mr. Watson and Co. considered this option.
I thought Rick Rogers was that photographer for The Joplin Globe? Why would he want to help the Daily?
You are thinking of T. Rob Brown. The two are frequently confused.
They weigh about the same, but Rogers is a few inches taller. Rogers wears the funky glasses, Brown the fedora. I think they really were separated at birth.
In no way did T.R. Hanrahan author or approve of previous posts.
- T. Rob Brown said...
That's just nice... make it personal why don't you!
Oh, gee... I had no clue I was overweight. It's great that you're here to tell me these things, professor! I might have missed my enormous gut if it weren't for you!
Oh, frell! (That's a "Farscape" term for those of you uneducated in intellectual things like science-fiction.)
And the fedora comment... honestly, I'm surprised you even knew what it was called. You do realize I've only worn that thing once or twice in the past six months.
Try paying attention and getting with the program.
Oh, and Rick... I probably weigh more than you do -- not that it's a good thing or anything. Just wanted to make sure you got your facts straight.
Never ONCE have I made fun of someone for superficial things. - 5:37 AM
I thought it was "Tom Brown."
Levi Payton is working at the Joplin Globe. Joplin Daily let him go for financial reasons and the Globe hired him within 2 hours.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Established in 1860 and designed by landscape architects, O. C. Simonds and H.W.S. Cleveland, Graceland is truly a haven in the city. Walk through the cemetery and pay your respects to pioneers like Dexter Graves and John Kinzie, early settlers in Chicago, and to business leaders such as developer Potter Palmer, railroad car manufacturer George Pullman and Cyrus Hall McCormick, who revolutionized American agriculture with the invention of the mechanical reaper and other farm machinery. Other Chicago "giants" buried here include civic planners and builders Daniel Burnham and Charles Wacker: Marshall Field, the retailing genius; Martin Ryerson, lumber merchant and developer; newspaper publisher Victor Lawson; meat packer Phillip D. Armour; and Carter Harrison, Sr., five term mayor of Chicago. World famous Chicago architects such as John Root, William Holabird, Louis Sullivan, Howard Van Doren Shaw, William LeBaron Jenney and Mies Van der Rohe are also buried here. The monuments and buildings designed by Sullivan, Holibird & Roche and McKim, Mead and White, among others are still viewed as primary examples of their work. As part of its ongoing restoration, Graceland recently completed construction of a new columbarium which is designed to reflect the enduring nineteenth century style of the Cemetery. Open to all, Chicagoans and tourists can relax amid the quiet beauty of Graceland's curving tree lined lanes. We welcome your visits and inquiries and ask only in return that your conduct, while our guest, demonstrates a respect for those who are buried here. O. C. Simonds is the person responsible for the beauty of Graceland Cemetery as we know it today. Simonds served as the Cemetery's superintendent and chief landscape architect from 1881 until 1898. He continued working at the Cemetery until his death in 1931. During his tenure, Simonds transformed Graceland into a masterpiece of Midwest landscape architecture for which the cemetery was awarded a medal of excellence at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Graceland was also honored by acceptance on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Simonds vision for Graceland was of a beautifully landscaped park created by an abundance of plantings with carefully planned vistas and natural topographical and water features. The park reflects a celebration of life. Simonds' landscape designs represents the classical intergration of buildings and landscape, involving a number of distinctive monuments. This is the design that Simonds created, developed, and finally perfected in his long tenure as cemetery landscape architect. Because of Simonds vision and dedication, landscape historians regard Graceland Cemetery as "one of the most remarkable park-like cemeteries of the Western world."

Sette Quantum-X2 Wireless Computer Version 2.0
The Quantum X2 went in for a facelift and came out looking better than ever. The buttons were nipped and tucked to the base of the computer resulting in a larger display wrapped in an even sleeker weather proof package.Installation is a breeze too. The computer head is secured with a silicone o-ring and the wireless transmitter attaches with zip ties meaning a quick snip of the scissors is all that's needed to complete the job. The computer head securely snaps into the Cross Loc mount so you'll never have to worry about it taking flight no matter how rough the road or trail gets. As an added bonus the Cross Loc mount can be set up to mount on your handlebars or stem if you want to go for that uncluttered Euro PRO look.

Today First Lady Michelle Obama wore a gorgeous two-piece outfit from U.S. designer J. Mendel to a special Heads of State reception at Buckingham Palace. The silver embroidered crepe tailored jacket and silk-satin chiffon pleated skirt are from the designers 2013 Resort collection and framed the First Lady's figure perfectly!

Many audio manufacturers have addressed the changes that room acoustics afflict on our sound systems. But until a week ago, I knew of no audio manufacturers who've addressed the changes that our hearing causes on sound.
Way back in July of last year, Rdio was the first of the streaming services to debut a native iPad app. Since then, they've continued to build their mobile offerings, and today they've debuted a completely revamped Android application, mirroring most of the functionality of their desktop and browser-based interfaces in a pocket-friendly package. And it'll even run under Ice Cream Sandwich.

ALMOST THIRTY YEARS AGO (can it be?) the compact disc promised "perfect sound forever." Two decades later the iPod, iTunes, and their ilk offered all music, everywhere, all the time.
Today, the first innovation is in decline while the second — despite all the quibbles about data-compressed sound quality, piracy, and the degradation of music into a disposable, mixable, mashable commodity — is ascendant. And yet, some few of us are ungrateful enough to want both; the convenience and ubiquity of iPod-like music files, and the listening experience that digital audio at its best can deliver.
Of course, the people in Hell want ice water too.

Pandora might have a lock on the market, Slacker has the coolest name (and real-live DJs behind the scenes), everyone's talking about Spotify and MOG, but there's another website that does something most others don't. Stereomood designs playlists based on your mood or activity. Yup — music to suit your every mood.
It's been a big week for digital music. First Apple finally rolled out iTunes Match, the final link in its chain of cloud services, allowing users to get anytime, anywhere access to all those songs they ripped from CDs over the years or acquired by, uh, let's say "other means."

Moreover, their score compared to the '10 score represented one of the biggest declines in 20 years. So not only are today's kids terrible readers, they are rapidly getting more terrible.

Ongoing exhibition, opened March 18, 2011
Politically independent and a champion of the little guy, Herbert L. Block (1909–2001)—better known as "Herblock"—spared no one from the wrath of his art. His pointed commentaries offer an opportunity to reflect on history and culture—how much has changed and what remains the same. The Herblock Gallery's selection of ten cartoons—with new drawings every six months—provides the visitor an ongoing opportunity to learn more about this Pulitzer award winning artist and to appreciate the Library's extensive Herbert L. Block Collections.

The Herb Block Foundation provides funding for the Herblock Gallery that enables visitors to continue to experience and enjoy the breadth and richness of this expansive collection.
In his very first publication, Herblock Looks at Communism, political cartoonist Herbert L. Block (1909–2001) warned the world of the dangers of government tyranny and limited free speech. This selection of cartoons from 1951 shows how Herblock continued to focus on countries ruled by the Communist Party, including North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union. He used a range of visual metaphors including the Asian tiger and the dragon as well as dismal swamps and an abyss to drive home his concerns. Read more about Herblock Looks at Communism »

For many Americans, the tensions of 1961—conflicts between East and West, the use of nuclear weapons and traditional warfare, political battles between conservatives and liberals, and issues concerning civil rights and segregation—played out forcibly throughout the rest of the decade. This selection of political cartoons by Herblock shows how his fear of nuclear annihilation led to the creation of some of his best work that year. He also addressed economic stagnation, suffrage for residents of Washington, D.C., civil rights, and the space race. Read more about Herblock Looks at 1961: Fifty Years Ago in Editorial Cartoons »

During the second year of his presidency in 1962, President John F. Kennedy (1917–1963) pushed his national and international agenda. At home, he attempted to implement new policies that met with partisan opposition: assisting the unemployed, passing a jobs bill, and creating Medicare. Abroad, he increased military presence in Vietnam and he faced the Soviet Union's premier Nikita Khrushchev (1894–1971) in a nuclear showdown known as the "Cuban Missile Crisis" in October 1962. The disarmament talks in Geneva did not go well and the doomsday clock ticked closer to midnight, signaling the increased likelihood of nuclear war.

In 1962, the second year of his presidency, John F. Kennedy (1917–1963) used his executive authority to impose economic and social change in the United States. He fought resistance from both Congress and the American people and moved forward with his program, called the "New Frontier," to eradicate poverty, inequality, and prejudice. His administration successfully enforced desegregation at the University of Mississippi. It mandated that American industry benefit the American people. Kennedy persuaded Congress to stimulate the stagnant economy by ordering tax cuts. He also sided publicly with the Supreme Court ruling against school prayer.

In 1963, during the third and final year of his presidency, John F. Kennedy (1917–1963) faced repeated opposition to his legislative initiatives. Republicans rebuffed his calls for a lasting peace and argued against the signing of a nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union. When he wanted to offer tax cuts to reduce economic stagnation, Kennedy fought with his own political party in the Democrat-controlled Congress. His efforts to increase resources for schoolchildren and to protect the wilderness met with resistance from both political parties. Congress resisted most strongly, however, Kennedy's attempts to improve the lives of African Americans. Read more about Herblock Looks at 1963: Fifty Years Ago in Editorial Cartoons »

Comments about Platypus Platy 2L Bottle:
I originally purchased a pair of 1 liter Platypus bottles to use in my dog's backpack. The soft side container option is better for this as they don't jab my dog in her ribs. I just upgraded the size to the 2 liter version (lol I have a mastiff who drinks a lot) and I'm very happy with them. They are lightweight and easily stowable when empty and my water filter (First Need XL) has an adapter to fit their opening. All in all a great product that does exactly what I need it to do- and does it well.

I have said for two years now that the divisive nature of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is not only Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson's fault, it is her goal. She's willing to make the court as dysfunctional as she has to in order to get a 4-3 liberal majority. I believe she leaked the Prosser/Bradley story to the media.
It's clear that the left has virtually nothing on Justice Pat Roggensack so they'll grab whatever they can. So Abrahamson tries to claim Roggensack was wrong when she says Prosser apologized for calling her "a bitch." So Roggensack is right; he apologized for it, publicly. If he didn't apologize personally to Abrahamson, he should have, but he has apologized.
And don't think it isn't telling that Abrahamson refuses to be interviewed and will only answer questions in the controlled (by her) envrionment of an email exchange. It's much tougher to get caught in a lie that way and much easier to construct evasive answers. I've said it on the show many times, unlike a court of law, I DO hold it against someone for "not taking the stand in there own defense," as it were. Abrahamson should be ashamed of the desperation she's exhibting here; I doubt that she is.
Time is short and the number of weapons they have to use against Roggensack seems even shorter. As time grows shorter, look for their desperation tactics to grow.

Sign the Bicycle Lane Request Form
Please sign our Bicycle Lane Request Form to help make Buffalo a bicycle friendly city.
Bicycle Lane Request Form
At GO Bike Buffalo, we envision a city where people of all ages can safely bike to work. We aspire to have parents in the City of Buffalo feel comfortable about allowing their children to bike to school and ensure our fellow citizens have realistic alternatives to automobile transportation.
Numerous recent reports indicate that frequently riding a bicycle can benefit your body, state of mind, and community by increasing strength and cardiovascular fitness, relieving stress, arriving at your destination feeling relaxed, energized and happy, creating no polluting exhaust and being able to easily wave and say "hi" to people in your community while riding by.
However, people will not choose to ride their bicycles if they do not feel safe doing so.
So join us! Please sign our bicycle lane request form so we can highlight the demand and prioritize locations to work with the City to build safe and well-designed facilities throughout Buffalo. Let's come together and create a more bike friendly city.

High school baseball: Jerry Hites named Kirtland coach
One of the most successful baseball coaches in the area has found a new home.
Jerry Hites was approved as Kirtland's new baseball coach at Monday's school board meeting. He departs Fairport after a successful 12-year run as head coach, in which he compiled a 246-103 record.
"Have you ever gotten to the time where it just felt like there was time for a change and to do something different?" Hites said on Monday.
"This is one of those times."
Hites, who has been part of the Fairport school district for 22 years, said he will continue to teach special education at Fairport.
He takes over for former Hornets coach Bob Lasecki.
"I'm extremely excited," Hites said. "The change will be a challenge, but I'm looking forward to it. The cupboard is certainly not bare."
Hites said his entire staff from Fairport will come with him to Kirtland, including assistants John Zinnicker, Steve Hogya, Tom Hites and Corey Hites. He said the staff is excited for the move and the coaches are looking forward to representing Kirtland.
"When you talk with (the Kirtland administration), it's not difficult to see why their school is so successful," Hites said.
During his tenure at Fairport, Hites led the Skippers to an 88-12 record in the Valley Division of the Chagrin Valley Conference, 11 sectional championships, eight conference titles and four regional championship game performances. Continued...
"I'm really excited to get started," he said of his new position at Kirtland.

OHIO VALLEY — With over 100-degree temperatures forecasted again this weekend, projections remain on target for most of the tri-county area to have electricity restored before then.
Estimates by American Electric Power (AEP) on Wednesday afternoon show that more than half of the customers in Meigs and Mason counties remain without power, while more that 30 percent are out in Gallia County.
Mason County has the largest number of residents without power in the area. As of 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 7,746 customers in Mason County remained without electricity. That number is drastically reduced from the initial figure of 13,001 (87.4 percent) without power on Saturday morning.
Appalachian Power is estimating power to be restored to Mason County by Saturday evening.
As of 3 p.m. on Wednesday, 52.1 percent of AEP customers in Meigs County remained without electricity. According to the AEP Ohio website, 5,929 customers in the county were without power.
Initially, 88 percent or 10,019 customers were without power as a result of the storms on Friday evening.
In Gallia County just over 30 percent of the 9,916 AEP Ohio customers remained without power.
Gallia County had the highest initial rate of outages at 89.3 percent or 8,867 customers.
Estimates show that Meigs County should have electricity completely restored by Friday night.
In Gallia County, the majority of the customers are expected to have electricity restored by Friday evening, while some may be out of power until Sunday evening.
A statement released on Wednesday morning by AEP Ohio reads:
As of 9 a.m. today, AEP Ohio had restored power to approximately 70 percent of the 660,000 customers affected by the catastrophic storms that moved through the state June 29 and the additional 20,000 outaged by the July 1 evening storm. AEP Ohio will continue to work around the clock through the Fourth of July holiday to restore service to customers as safely and quickly as possible.
Approximately 197,000 customers remain without power. Approximately 108,000 of those without power are located in central Ohio counties of Franklin, Delaware and Licking. In Franklin County – the hardest hit area – the number of affected customers stands at 49,000. At the peak of the storm on June 29, approximately 45 percent of AEP Ohio customers were without power.
A statement by Appalachian Power (which serves portions of West Virginia and Virginia) reads:
As of Wednesday morning, approximately 50 percent (or 287,437 out of the 573,000) of Appalachian Power's customers who were out of power from Friday's storm are now restored.
In West Virginia, 174,960 of the company's half-million customers remain without electric service.
Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative (BREC) , which serves portions of Gallia and Meigs counties, is reporting that 152 of their 1,299 customers in Meigs County remain without power on Wednesday afternoon.
In Gallia County, the number is slightly higher at 265 customers out of 5,814.
In total, 1,437 Buckeye Rural customers of their 18,928 (7.59 percent) were without power on Wednesday afternoon.

Transportation marketing looks to ByReputation for new ideas and strategies.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 29, 2012
Transportation services use ByReputation's new marketing service with organic search engine optimization, local search directories, and content marketing to bring about new clients. To receive a transportation consult from an expert, then please click on the link below:
Get a Free Transportation Marketing Consult
Using the service's search engine optimization, a transportation business is able to increase their site's rank on large scale engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Previous site statistics give way to find search trends for keywords and phrases with a high conversion rate. A search engine specialist then goes through page factors and adjusts it so it can then be placed at the highest order into the search algorithm. It is then that off page optimization starts with only white hat and penguin safe techniques.
Transportation marketing can find a key component in local search directories such as Yahoo Local, Yelp, Yellowbook, and the Superpages. Receiving over 100 million hits a month, these local directories are looked to by clients to find local transportation companies in their region. Focusing on the top 30 local directories, ByReputation will enhance a transportation services directory listing to stand up over the rest of the transportation listings.
The last key to transportation marketing is content marketing. Content marketing is the creation of a blog that is subjected to transportation marketing. These articles are completely focused on the procedures of getting clients and are written and published around two to three times in a week. Publishing these articles a few times a week increases the domain's overall Google freshness score. This allows the transportation business to come up much more in future search results.

Ratings & Reviews
I actually own this product!
Unlike the reviewers before me, I have actually used the Smart Cover. Seriously, how can you write a review about something that h asn't been sold yet?
The case does a great job in protecting the screen.
The magnets work well - my iPad Mini has turned on and off correctly every time.
The cover works well as a stand...not terrific but okay.
The red is a great colour.
If you're looking for something to provide all over protection, this likely wont work for you but as a cover for your Mini screen, it does the job. …- Written by Cindy C from Canmore

It is what it is

Looses its magnetism
This product was great when it came out of the box but as months have passed it looses more and more of its magnetism and causes t wo issues!
#1 when it covers the screen in the off position the iPad mini keeps on clicking on and off defeating the purpose of it saving its battery.
#2 The stand is no longer strong enough to hold the iPad mini up straight.
I just wish that Apple would insert a more solid magnet or replace the item! …- Written by Duncan B from Colchester

Poor design
Originally liked this cover, so slim and smart. However, the IPad mini slipped from my hand while taking pictures, and I grabbed onto the cover, but of course, the magnet did not hold and the NEW IPad mini fell to a concrete floor and dented the side slide button and up volume button, making them unusable. Would not recommend. …

Good stuff. A minor point, I personally prefer 4 colour decks, they are easier to read in my opinion.
I kind of get the always limping from the small blind, but isn't 24o just rubbish? We are out of position with trash. Although its cheap, and provides some extra disguise for our best hands, it seems to me that we are often going to end up folding on the flop, like we do here.
It strikes me we can have a very wide range in this spot and still fold the worst of the worst.

And on the 112th day, Matt and Carolyn LaWell kept working.
You may remember the LaWells from my extensive Q&A with Matt LaWell, a former newspaper writer and a good friend of mine, who was just putting the finishing logistical touches on a trip you might call crazy: A summer-long, nationwide tour of minor league baseball stadiums that the couple dubbed "A Minor League Season."
At that point, Matt told me about his and his wife's motivation, "We love baseball. We love America. We love to tell stories. We have no kids, no pets, no mortgage, no car payments. We figured if we don't do this now, we'll never do it. We're the kind of people who don't want to have any regrets."I caught up with the couple on Wednesday in Akron, as their America tour wound back through their old stomping grounds; they spent a day earlier in the week in Athens, where Matt hatched the plan many years ago in college; Tuesday in Columbus; Wednesday in Akron at Canal Park, home of the Aeros; and today they'll be in Eastlake with the Lake County Captains. (They'll finish the season in Toledo with the Mud Hens.) About 80 friends and family members gathered, all with their "A Minor League Season" T-shirts on. So, gang: Any regrets? Do they still love baseball? Do they still love America? In order: No, yes and yes.Fun facts from the trip:

Rock Hill, S.C. - The Lenoir-Rhyne University Women's Soccer Team was voted by the head coaches to finish second in the 2012 South Atlantic Conference race, league officials announced this morning in the preseason poll.
Wingate was picked to win the regular season title after receiving seven first-place votes and 79 total points.
The Bulldogs are coming off a 16-4 campaign in which they won the Food Lion SAC Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Division II Playoffs in 2011.
L-R looks to build on last year's 17-3-1 mark and perfect 9-0 record in South Atlantic Conference play.
The Bears also won their second straight conference regular season title and advanced to the finals of the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Tournament last fall.
Lenoir-Rhyne, ranked No. 9 in the 2012 NSCAA NCAA Division II National Preseason Poll, received three first-place votes and had three players earn all-league preseason accolades.
Senior midfielder Carley Griffin (Fresno, Calif.) and sophomore midfielder Hanna Kiebel (Parker, Colo.) earned All-SAC Preseason First-Team accolades while senior goalkeeper Caitlin Scruggs (Torrance, Calif.) was named to the all-conference preseason second team.
Griffin, an all-league and all-region honoree in 2011, finished second on the team in goals (11) and third in points scored (25) while Kiebel was named the SAC Freshman Of The Year last season.
Kiebel scored four goals and finished with nine total points and Scruggs tallied a 1.03 goals-against average with 64 saves and six shutouts last year.
In 2010, Scruggs earned First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference and All-Southeast Region accolades and is entering her third year as a starter this fall.
Lenoir-Rhyne opens the 2012 season on Friday, August 31, at home against Georgia College at the Moretz Sports - Athletic Complex beginning at 7:30 p.m., as part of its annual Women's Soccer Classic.
