Is two-step flow theory still relevant for social media research?
This is a learning module for the class Contemporary Social / Mass Media Theory taught at Purdue University by Sorin Adam Matei
Elihu Katz, Paul Lazarsfeld, and Gabriel Tarde have already said that media are profoundly social. Newspapers have been read at breakfast for almost 200 years. Our great-great-grandparents discussed the news of 1848 revolutions in Europe or of the Mexican wars with their buddies at lunch time. Television shows were and still are the subject of the proverbial water cooler chats. Every once in a while I chat with my wife about the latest news we both get from Yahoo!
What is then new about "social" media?
Can media be other than social? As Gabriel Tarde and later Lazarsfeld and his students suggested, media is consumed through a two (or manybe more) step process. The news percolates and then returns to the newsmakers through interpersonal conversations. If that is so, did social media really bring something new to the table? If, yes, what? The tools? A new social and intellectual ethos? Is this a communitarian, or individualist ethos? Is the "social" aspect of media equivalent to "communitarianism"? What perspective should we take on studying interactions through social media: a community or an individualistic oriented one?

Two step flow theory core ideas
A summary of the two step flow theory of communication from the Twente University Comm Theory site:
The two-step flow of communication hypothesis was first introduced by Paul Lazarsfeld, Bernard Berelson, and Hazel Gaudet in The People's Choice, a 1944 study focused on the process of decision-making during a Presidential election campaign. These researchers expected to find empirical support for the direct influence of media messages on voting intentions. They were surprised to discover, however, that informal, personal contacts were mentioned far more frequently than exposure to radio or newspaper as sources of influence on voting behavior. Armed with this data, Katz and Lazarsfeld developed the two-step flow theory of mass communication.
This theory asserts that information from the media moves in two distinct stages. First, individuals (opinion leaders) who pay close attention to the mass media and its messages receive the information. Opinion leaders pass on their own interpretations in addition to the actual media content. The term 'personal influence' was coined to refer to the process intervening between the media's direct message and the audience's ultimate reaction to that message. Opinion leaders are quite influential in getting people to change their attitudes and behaviors and are quite similar to those they influence. The two-step flow theory has improved our understanding of how the mass media influence decision making. The theory refined the ability to predict the influence of media messages on audience behavior, and it helped explain why certain media campaigns may have failed to alter audience attitudes an behavior. The two-step flow theory gave way to the multi-step flow theory of mass communication or diffusion of innovation theory.
Two step flow readings
Elihu Katz, The two-step flow of communication: An up-to-date report on an hypothesis, Public Opinion Quarterly [0033-362X] Katz yr:1957 vol:21 iss:1 pg:61
The hypothesis that "ideas often flow from radio and print to opinion leaders and from these to the less active sections of the population" has been tested in several successive studies. Each study has attempted a different solution to the problem of how to take account of interpersonal relations in the traditional design of survey research. As a result, the original hypothesis is largerly corroborated and considerably refined.
Katz et al., Bridging the spheres: Political and personal conversation in public and private spaces, Journal of communication [0021-9916] Wyatt yr:2000 vol:50 iss:1 pg:71
For some theorists, talk about politics is infrequent, difficult, divisive, and, to be efficacious, must proceed according to special rules in protected spaces. We, however, examined ordinary political conversation in common spaces, asking Americans how freely and how often they talked about 9 political and personal topics at home, work, civic organizations, and elsewhere. Respondents felt free to talk about all topics. Most topics were talked about most frequently at home and at work, suggesting that the electronic cottage is wired to the public sphere. Political conversation in most loci correlated significantly with opinion quality and political participation, indicating that such conversation is a vital component of actual democratic practice, despite the emphasis given to argumentation and formal deliberation by some normative theorists.
Elihu Katz, Rediscovering Gabriel Tarde. Political Communication [1058-4609] Katz yr:2006 vol:23 iss:3 pg:263
Gabriel Tarde (l843-1904) is thought to have "lost" his debates with Durkheim by insisting that sociology ought to occupy itself with observable interpersonal processes. Given contemporary interest in such processes—much abetted by the computer—Tarde's reputation is being rehabilitated. Terry Clark (1969) was first to notice that Tarde (1898) had anticipated Lazarzfeld's two-step flow of communication. Tarde's work has bearing on social networks, interpersonal influence, diffusion of innovation, and the aggregation of public opinion.

The paper develop the idea of the classic public sphere, drawing not so much on Habermas, but on some of his predecessors and others, and especially on the French social psychologist, Gabriel Tarde. I will show how Tarde's conception of the public sphere applies not only to the newspaper but perhaps even more to broadcasting. I will say a few words about how well the European model of public broadcasting fits (or better: used to fit) this vision of the public sphere. I will also introduce data from a recent American study that puts Tarde's scheme to an empirical test. Then, I will shift gears. Still drawing on Tarde — but a different Tarde — Part Two will show another side of the same story, focusing more on the technology of the media, and their effect, not on individuals but on institutions. This part of the argument will show how the media, in succession — newspapers, radio, TV, internet — contribute not to the making of democracy, but to its unmaking. This part will lead to a discussion of our present situation of multi-channel television — over the air, on cable, via satellite — and the internet. To anticipate the climax of this part, let me say that we will find ourselves arguing that the new media are no longer geared to the nation-state and the public sphere. The concluding Part Three will try to confront the opposing tendencies of the two earlier parts. But it will do so in an academic effort at puzzlesolving rather than as a statement of deep conviction. The truth is I don't know the answers.
From two-step flow to the Internet: The changing array of sources for genetic…

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology; Jun 2004; 55, 8;
"From Two-Step Flow to the Internet: The Changing Array of Sources for Genetics Information Seeking" reevaluates the traditional two-step flow of information seeking by examining cancer genetic information seeking in the Internet environment. The two-step flow is where a person obtains information second-hand from friends and acquaintances who, in a first step, have previously obtained the same information from some other source. The researchers conducted a telephone survey in Kentucky, via random digital dialing, reaching 2,454 people, of whom 882 adults (41%) agreed to be polled. Respondents reported using the Internet first for cancer genetic information, then public libraries, and then medical doctors. The paper concludes that the Internet has changed the traditional two-step flow hypothesis of information seeking.
Some of the comments below ask the very good question "how real is the distinction between interpersonal and mass mediated influence in social media"? In addition, some social diffusion studies have started asking the bigger question that lurks behind this literature: how does social media (Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube) change the way we think and learn about the world?
A very recent study facilitated by Facebook Data, an internal research unit of the social networking giant, announced this spring that most news we pick up and read from Facebook comes from people we interact with infrequently. A previous study, also co-authored by Bakshy, asked the even more interesting question if there are real "opinion" leaders on Twitter. The answer was a considerate yes and no. What do you think about these studies and their conclusions?
Rethinking Information Diversity in Networks, Eytan Bakshy, Facebook Data
Everyone's an Influencer: Quantifying Influence on Twitter, Bakshy et al.
Threshold models have been postulated as one explanation for the success or failure of collective action and the diffusion of innovations. The present paper creates a social network threshold model of the diffusion of innovations based on the Ryan and Gross (1943) adopter categories: (1) early adopters; (2) early majority; (3) late majority; (4) laggards. This new model uses social networks as a basis for adopter categorization, instead of solely relying on the system-level analysis used previously. The present paper argues that these four adopter categories can be created either with respect to the entire social system, or with respect to an individual's personal network. This dual typology is used to analyze three diffusion datasets to show how external influence and opinion leadership channel the diffusion of innovations. Network thresholds can be used (1) to vary the definition of behavioral contagion, (2) to predict the pattern of diffusion of innovations, and (3) to identify opinion leaders and followers in order to understand the two-step flow hypothesis better.
The wealth of research into modelling and forecasting the diffusion of innovations is impressive and confirms its continuing importance as a research topic. The main models of innovation diffusion were established by 1970. (Although the title implies that 1980 is the starting point of the review, we allowed ourselves to relax this constraint when necessary.) Modelling developments in the period 1970 onwards have been in modifying the existing models by adding greater flexibility in various ways. The objective here is to review the research in these different directions, with an emphasis on their contribution to improving on forecasting accuracy, or adding insight to the problem of forecasting.
The main categories of these modifications are: the introduction of marketing variables in the parameterisation of the models; generalising the models to consider innovations at different stages of diffusions in different countries; and generalising the models to consider the diffusion of successive generations of technology.
We find that, in terms of practical impact, the main application areas are the introduction of consumer durables and telecommunications.
In spite of (or perhaps because of) the efforts of many authors, few research questions have been finally resolved. For example, although there is some convergence of ideas of the most appropriate way to include marketing mix-variables into the Bass model, there are several viable alternative models.
Future directions of research are likely to include forecasting new product diffusion with little or no data, forecasting with multinational models, and forecasting with multi-generation models; work in normative modelling in this area has already been published.

'Guru's execution unhealthy sign'
Disturbed over the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, the Association for Democratic Rights (AFDR), Punjab, has termed his execution an unhealthy sign for multi-dimensional Indian society.punjab Updated: Feb 09, 2013 20:55 IST
Disturbed over the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, the Association for Democratic Rights (AFDR), Punjab, has termed his execution an unhealthy sign for multi-dimensional Indian society.
Ajmer Aulakh, state president of the AFDR, and Jagmohan Singh, its general secretary, issued a statement here on Saturday that death sentence was no solution to social problems. "There is no place for death sentence in any civilised society," said Aulakh. "In the world, 110 countries have struck off death sentence in their book of law, and many other have stopped hanging, finding it a cruel, medieval method."
The Indian state, instead of adopting a political approach to social problems, was rigid on death sentence, said the AFDR state president. "It has become common in the system to award death penalty to political opponents instead of giving them fair hearing," he added. "Human rights cannot be protected when judgments are based on public emotions. Even the judge in his pronouncement has stated that the emotions of Indian public demand the hanging of Afzal Guru. What justice it is?
"Afzal Guru had demanded a proper hearing, said Jagmohan Singh. "Many objections to the hearing that was were not addressed properly," he added. "The forces and the purpose behind the attack on Parliament are still to be exposed. How the ministry of home affairs issued visitors' cards to the attackers, and the identity of the attackers continue to be secret. Then home minister owes people an answer."
The state was strengthening communal forces by executing death sentances, said Jagmohan Singh, adding that it would hurt democracy.
Association for Democratic Rights objects, says it was unfair to base verdict on public emotions

Despite her outer façade of complete, domineering control to Lucas and most of the general public, Clarissa was an unstable pit of gushing lava within.
Henry, Daddy Dearest, had sat in front of her and told her that he'd had a child with a relative of that wretched exchange student. The same girl that'd slammed into her on her critical first day back at Jasperstone. The same girl who felt entitled to hang around the manor anytime she pleased. And the same girl who'd staked an unrightful claim on her dear beau.
It was outrageous. It was mad. It was simply impossible.
But he had looked at her, his face like stone, utterly serious. So, she'd gone to throw a tantrum.
Later, she'd cried ever-so-dramatically to Ruth and Prathabelle (Prat for short), begging for comfort and promising them torturous lives and ruined reputations should they ever eek a word to anyone else. She intended to stay at Ruth's for at least a week, for three reasons: 1. To stay away from the sick creature called Reynolds who'd ruined her life, 2. To convey a message to Henry that she'd never forgive him and make him realize that maybe someone should have "put a cork in it a long time ago", and 3. To make sure Ruth was thoroughly clear on what the consequences would be if she opened her mouth. Clarissa reminded her and Prat of this every day, in creepy sing-songy reminders that oozed subtle viciousness.
Despite her intimidating demeanor, and despite the delicious betrayal she'd caused at the dance, Clarissa was not feeling her best. Actual emotions threatened to surface, though the most prevalent emotion she felt was pure rage. If one were to have examined her mind, one would have been surprised to discover how authentic that rage actually was. Clarissa tended to exaggerate her moods (though she'd never admit to that; it was rather obvious to most people anyway), but no amount of exaggeration could have amplified this feeling more than it already was.
Clarissa's hands were tied for the time being, just like Alistair's, as far as striking back went. Only, while Alistair was out to get rid of Meghan and her family to support his own career ambitions, Clarissa had wanted revenge, plain and simple. Until now, she'd had no reason to fear losing her status. Her main reason for hating Meghan was that the girl was becoming as popular as she was, and had stolen her Lucas.
She'd gotten some sweet payback at the ball, it was true. And to see the girl cry in the corner with Fried Wizracket had given Miss Payne much pleasure. But it wouldn't last long if Luke kept evading her, or if he were to somehow make Meghan believe he still loved her, and that the kiss wasn't his fault.
All that Clarissa could do was make as many people as possible believe that she and Luke were "secretly together", until she could figure out another way to cause torment. Maybe if it got bad enough, the girl would fly back to the New York sewers where she belonged.
I was unbelievably glad that Clarissa had not returned, and that word was she'd be staying until this time next week, or later.
I was also lucky enough to be free of Alistair this night, with him being off at some kind of business dinner or something.
But Glynnis, who ironically was the lesser of the three evils, was not absent in the least. She tried her best to make her presence known every second, in fact, as she chomped loudly at the dining table.
Faye was here, though. She'd been invited to stay for dinner after keeping me company in my room for a few hours, talking to me about Luke and about Daphne. Now, she sat next to me, while Henry sat at the head of the table on my other side. Jocelyn was seated across from me, of which I was glad. She seemed content, as always.
And she, along with Faye, kept the conversation going, chatting me up on lighter subjects to keep my spirits up. Henry and Glynnis didn't join in much, as Henry was too busy thinking, and Glynnis was too busy chomping.
I was happy to see that both Dashwoods seemed to like Faye very well. Jocelyn in particular found her to be an excellent person to talk to. She was sure to let Faye know just how highly she thought of her as she rose from the table at the meal's end.
"You're welcome here anytime, dear, I hope you know that." she said, gently pushing her chair under the table. "It was lovely talking with you."
"The pleasure was all mine, your ladyship."
"Ms. Dashwood will do, Faye darling. I shall be seeing you. And have a good night, Meghan."
"Good night." I told her, giving her the best smile I could.
She smiled back, then went to pour herself a cup of tea, which she'd take to her bedroom.
Glynnis then very loudly dropped her silverware onto her plate, before very loudly scooting herself and the chair backwards, then proceeding to stand up, bulky and imposing, turn and push her chair (very loudly) into the table. She gave Henry a hard, obvious look before stalking off with her plate.
She almost tripped in the kitchen doorway. It was the hardest thing in the world for me not to laugh at that.
Henry stared after her, bored, and unless I was seeing things, I think he actually rolled his eyes.
As Faye and I started to stand, he held up one finger, signaling that we wait. We sat back down.
In waltzed Gaines, holding a small platter with one of those shiny dome lid things covering whatever was on it. He seemed to actually be in a good mood as he did this, despite the never-ending phone calls he'd endured the last couple of days.
He set the platter down in front of Faye and me, and with the utmost panache, removed the lid.
There sat three small plates, each holding a slice of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie! I couldn't believe it. I had completely forgotten that it was Thanksgiving. How in the world...
"Oh my, what a nice surprise!" Faye exclaimed.
How could anyone here have known what day it was today, let alone that pumpkin pie was the traditional dessert? I looked to Henry, who had a wry smile on his face as he snagged one of the plates for himself.
"Don't tell Mother." he said with a wink.
I smiled.
"How did you know...?"
He passed a plate to me and one to Faye.
"Ah, my secret."
With eyes wide, I cut a piece with my shiny fork and took a bite. It was delicious. Faye seemed to like it, too.
"Good?" Henry asked, when his was already half-finished.
We both nodded.
"Thank you." I told him.
Now it was his turn to nod. "Thought you might appreciate it."
He polished the rest of his pie off in no time, and took his plate to the kitchen. He emerged a minute later, on his way to the office. He looked very fatigued and seemed to drag a bit as he walked. He stopped momentarily next to us.
"Well, Faye, it was splendid having you here. Hope to have you back. And you," he said, eyeing me directly. "Sleep well."
I knew he meant more than that. I answered honestly.
"I'll try."
He gave a slight smile and patted my shoulder as he raggedly walked out.
About an hour or two later, a feast was being set out at the Reynolds residence. Everyone was happy that Catherine had the day off, for once. Grandpa Reynolds was visiting from the senior home, and was watching the football game with vigor. A turkey had been delivered and was already sitting on the table. Daphne had helped Catherine make her special homemade dressing, while Libby had mashed the potatoes with enough force to make one think she had a vendetta against them.
As the newly mashed potatoes were set on the feasting surface, the doorbell rang. Catherine ran to answer it.
"Mom! Dad! You're finally here." she said happily. Russ and Patricia Shore had arrived, and they both wore enormous grins.
"Brought the gravy!" Russ announced, holding up a bundle of his famous concoction.
"Thank goodness." Catherine remarked. "Libby pummeled those potatoes."
"Aunt Tricia! Uncle Russ!" came a voice.
"Is that our Daffy?"
Indeed it was, and she'd wheeled Grandpa Reynolds in with her. The couple rushed in to greet them.
"Hello, sweetheart!" said Patricia as she smothered Daphne in a hug. She insisted that the girl call her Aunt Tricia because she thought it made her sound younger and more hip.
"How ya doin', Pete?" Russ asked Grandpa Reynolds.
"Great, except I'm missin' the game."
"Oh yeah! You know what, so am I!" Russ agreed before giving Daphne a kiss on the cheek. "Let's go on in there-"
"It's time to eat right now." Libby told him as she walked up for a hug. She glanced around the corner at the television. "And it's halftime anyway."
Soon, the TV was off (for the time being), and they were well into a scrumptious meal. With six people there, conversation flowed, but Meghan's absence was still noticeable.
"I hope she had a nice Thanksgiving." Libby remarked. "Though she's probably sleeping now."
"I hear both Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop are good cooks. Maybe they made her some turkey."
"If she asked for it. Maybe she forgot."
"Who are the Winthrops again? Are they the family she's staying with?" Patricia asked.
"That they are." her daughter answered.
"Speaking of that." Russ said, with a mischievous smile.
Everyone looked at him, and noticed a smile on his wife's face that mirrored his. Russ paused for a minute as they looked at each other.
"We've been thinking. It's starting to get a little boring around our neck of the woods...the last thing we did was our rock climbing trip, and that was what, three months ago?"
"Almost." his wife confirmed.
"Yeah. And...also, we've been hearing that a certain someone has been missing her cousin very, very much. And that same someone will be out of school until a week from Monday."
All was silent as Mr. Shore looked to his daughter's niece, whose eyes were already going wide.
"So Daphne, we have a proposition for you."
So...what do you think of that? I'm excited. I'm so happy to be doing this again.
Hope these were a good read. I will return in one week.

Psychology Wade 10th Edition
Product Description
The text stresses the importance of critical thinking and the integration of culture and gender in the science of psychology.
Renowned for its pioneering focus on developing critical thinking skills crucial to the success of the students' school and later in life, Psychology by Wade & Tavris is also widely appreciated for the warmth and clarity of lively writing style. Continuing its tradition of integrating gender, culture and ethnicity throughout the text, Psychology provides a comprehensive introduction to the area.
I took a chance he would come with a CD-book is now without the CD. The Web Access is important that the class cirriculum should follow this textbook "new". It would have been nice if the product had clearly said that this component is not required to be involved and must be purchased separately. I hope this information helps you decide on the choice of this book for a college course / class.

When you have multiple bins in series with a recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) belt scale system, how do you adjust your blending controls or bin speed to accommodate for recycled asphalt shingle (RAS) product clogs or clumps?
The folks at Clarence Richard Company, Minneapolis, designed the EZ-Flo feeder scale to weigh the light-loaded product—RAS—as well as heavy loaded product—RAP—and to retrofit into existing bins while wiring into the blending computer usually with no hardware/software changes. With the bin feeder scale for RAS/RAP in place, the blending control can then make changes to the feeder speed based on actual weight instead of assumed volumetric weight.
Here's How it Works:
The gravity fed feeder scale fits in the cramped area usually between two RAP bin feeders and the collector belt.
As the plant operator calls for material, the RAS (or RAP) falls from the RAS/RAP belt feeder impacting the feeder scale before falling to the collector belt.
As the RAS impacts the suspended plate of the scale, the force of this material flow forces the plate against a single load cell rod. The load cell measures this force and converts it into a rate signal, known as the rate of material flow, which a rate indicator reads in the control house.
The rate reading in tons per hour indicates how quickly material is passing through the RAS flow scale and produces a signal used for blending materials.
At the control house, the RAS feeder tach signal used by most blending controls is replaced by the frequency rate signal. This information compensates for the changes in RAS density or flow (bin bridging) and can easily allow the operator to be notified when the bin runs empty.
The bin is now being calibrated with a scale that reads flow rates much lower than the typical RAP belt scale.
For more information about the EZ-Flo bin feeder scale for RAS/RAP, contact Clarence Richard Company at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.ez-flo.us.

View Thread: does winRT eliminate viruses?
It might prevent viruses but it probably won't prevent corporate espionage. Viruses usually try to control the system for which they need admin privileges (unless a bug is used in the OS). An infected pdf file that you got through email would make broken pdf reader steal documents because under current security models (in Windows, Linux or OS X) documents usually aren't protected from processes running in medium IL, unless special care is taken. If WinRT applications are allowed access to any of user's files without OS interfering with a permission window (similar to UAC) or WinRT allowing access to protected files only through OS provided file Open/Save file dialog then the sandbox protects only the system and not documents.

Israel's Central Bank Cuts Interest Rate
Reduces Key Rate for March to 0.75%
JERUSALEM—The Bank of Israel said it would reduce the key interest rate for March by 25 basis points to 0.75%, its first cut since September, citing slowing inflation, sluggish local growth and global uncertainty.
Israeli financial analysts were split about whether or not the bank would cut the rate. But rising government bond prices Monday indicated that a cut was expected by the market.

Playful, polite except for the bouncing shoulder-high, which was amazing considering she wasn't even knee-high, and super smart, she was a joy from day one. She trained us quickly to give her treats if she stood in front of the pantry door (yes, we caught on!). She was a great dog, energetic, sweet, playful and has a LOT of different behaviors characteristic of a lot of types of dog. She buried her 'bones', she pounced like a fox, she pointed, she would only play fetch with rocks of a certain size, she had no fear and she killed three squirrels in her lifetime! Not bad for a (yes, spoiled!) indoor dog. She surveyed her domain (yard) and loved to go outside to look around, but loved coming back inside even more to hang out with us, or go for a nap by herself if she felt like it. We'll miss our dog, who has Gone Ahead Home before us, but we know she and her crazy fur will greet us some day.Add to Favorites

Catania have confirmed that they have interviewed Vincenzo Montella, but there are two other candidates for the Sicilian hotseat.
"It doesn't matter what impression Montella left, we still have two other tacticians to speak to," Catania chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco told Radio Mana Mana.
"Before I left for Argentina we drew up a shortlist of contenders whom we believed to have the necessary qualities to take charge of Catania. Montella was one of these.
"However, we'll soon meet with the two other options and then make a decision."
Gigi De Canio has been linked after he left Lecce recently and Lo Monaco conceded that the Coach's 4-3-3 system would be a good fit at the Stadio Massimino.
"We'll continue to employ that formation," the official added. "I've known De Canio for years and he's a boss that we are following.
"We'll have to wait and see though whether he is one of the Coaches who we will be talking to…
"The only certainty is that we'll make a decision on who will be our Coach within the next seven days."
Catania, also paired with Dario Marcolin, are looking for a new boss after they parted company with Diego Simeone by mutual consent this week.

With the economy still slumping, many businesses are so preoccupied with recovering their industry and their developing strategies on how they would meet their sales targets. That is why most often they pay little attention to one aspect of their business environment that is frequently overlooked but still very important in their business operation, that is, office cleaning.
Many people are unaware that a tidy office and workplace can actually increase their productivity and efficiency at work. It is no wonder that most offices, because of demanding jobs and so much paper works, tend to have untidy desks with tons of files and papers. Aside from that, employees with stressful workload often times find workspace cleaning tough and challenging. Because of this, a good solution for many people who are in the business industry is to find a cleaning service that would do the dirty work for them. For this reason, cleaning services Kooringal has been one of the easiest and most in demand businesses today.
If you're planning to start this kind of business, one of the skills that you need to focus on is the office cleaning. Office cleaning is one of the most important tasks you could do since offices are often troubled by clutter, dirt and dusts coming from human traffic in urban places. Also, proper waste disposal is a major concern in most businesses as part of the urban garbage problem. Thus, to free the businesses and companies from worrying about cleaning their office, office cleaning services are on the rescue in keeping the workplace presentable and sanitary.
Choosing a cleaning company for your building/project is an important decision. You want to make sure the company is qualified, responsive and trustworthy. Here are some tips on how to hire and what to require from your cleaning company.
1. Get price quotes from at least three companies.
It's not always best to hire the cheapest company. Be sure to compare the proposed scope of work and the quality of products used for the job. Do the price quotes include materials, labor and equipment? What will they charge for special requests outside the scope of work? Beware of deals which sound too good to be true, because they just might be!
2. Ask how long they've been in business.
Cleaning companies notoriously come and go. They often change their name to reset their reputation, but the company is run by same people. Be sure the cleaning company you choose has established a reputation for quality service in the community.
3. Are they licensed, bonded and insured?
Protect yourself and your property. Make sure your cleaning company is properly licensed for the work they are doing. If they are bonded, you have further assurance that you will not suffer a loss at their hands. And never hire a cleaning company who can't show you proof of insurance.
4. Ask if they guarantee their work.
Most companies will tell you that your satisfaction is guaranteed, but what do they mean? Will they return your money if you are dissatisfied? Will they return to the jobsite to make it right? Get the scope of work and price in writing before the work is done so you can compare what you were promised with what you received.
5. Ask for a list of references.
A good cleaning company will have a loyal client base. Ask for references who have projects similar to yours. And once references are provided, do your diligence and contact them!
6. Do they offer 24/7 emergency cleaning services?
In case of a flood, fire, icy sidewalk, clogged toilet or other calamity, can you call on your cleaning company for assistance? If your cleaning company can assist you with emergencies it will save you time and money, because they already know and have access to your building/project.
7. Is a customer service representative assigned to your account?
Once some cleaning companies get your business, it's difficult to get them on the phone. Or you talk to someone different every time you call, and they don't necessarily know your particular account. Before you hire, ask who will manage your account.
8. Will they track your issues and requests, from inception to resolution?
Ask how the cleaning company will handle your issues or requests. How will you know when the issue is resolved or the request is completed? Make sure they have a clear procedure in place to assess, address and follow up.
9. Can they provide all the cleaning services you need?
When choosing a cleaning company, ask about the full scope of services they offer. Why not hire a company who not only cleans your offices, but can also clean your carpets, floors, and windows? It will save you time when those special cleaning projects arise. And they can probably offer you a better price since they are already in your building.
10. Do they offer Green Cleaning products and practices?
The goal of today's green cleaning movement is to minimize impact on the environment, building occupants, and cleaning personnel. If these issues are important to you, ask if your cleaning company has experience with green cleaning.
11. Will they create a custom scope of work for your building?
Before a cleaning company provides you with a quote, they should come look at your building or project and ask questions about your needs so they can customize your scope of work. If they haven't done this, proceed with caution.
12. Do they have a deep/detail cleaning schedule?
Detail cleaning is often neglected by cleaning companies. High dusting, air vent vacuuming, edge vacuuming, etc. should be done at regular intervals to prevent buildup of dust and grime. Ask when your cleaning company performs deep cleaning tasks, and how they track when they are done. And how will they keep you in the loop?
13. Be certain they perform background checks on cleaning and management staff.
You are giving your cleaning company access to your property. Make sure they are diligently screening the cleaners they assign to your building/project.
14. Are the cleaners properly trained in best industry techniques?
Proper training will ensure you get the best quality of service for your money. Training is also important to prevent scratches on surfaces, vacuum bumps along walls, and other damage to your property. Ask your cleaning company how often they train and retrain cleaners in the best industry techniques.
15. Ask about their inspection process.
How does your cleaning company ensure the cleaners are continuing to provide you with quality service? It's important that they perform periodic walkthroughs with you, as well as more frequent post-cleaning inspections.
Take the time and care to choose the right cleaning company from the start. Establishing a long term relationship with a reliable cleaning company will not only save you time and money, but also peace of mind.
The first thing that you need to consider when you're planning to venture into this kind of business is having a business permit and license for your business to operate. Of course, you probably do not want to have legal problems in the future so make sure that your operation is officially authorized and you have undergone all the necessary training in handling this business. Also, you should have in mind what kind of cleaning services you would want to offer to your future customers.
Promote Your Kooringal Cleaning Business
A business's offices are critical to the performance of much of its image and branding presentation. It is the space that they conduct their sales and acquisitions. It is the space where they present their products or services. It is the space where they conduct their business's integral customer service. So to present themselves and their product or service well, regular performance of office cleaning is important to sanitation for employee safety and a clean polished appearance for the attraction of their clients. Yet, different companies are at different stages so they require different amounts of office cleaning throughout the life of the business.
First, before a business can even start up it has to undergo renovation and cleaning. Everything from the air/ventilation system and paint application to the flooring and equipment has to be updated when opening a new office location. After all of that work, the space has to have a polished appearance for its final presentation to the community that the business intends to serve. So if the office is within a building then it can be cleaned by the buildings contracted janitorial services on a regular basis. But if it is a standalone store front then the management can hire a maid service company to take care of the odds and ends of removing spilled paint, cleaning windows and surfaces to pristine glory and sanitizing the washrooms so that the employees and clients will be comfortable. The services required are only as specific as management outlines. If the company is joining the fold of the other offices in the building then they can simply request the same care for their space. However, if certain rooms are not to be cleaned or sensitive material needs to be handled with care or delicate equipment avoided then those specific instructions will guide the maid or janitorial services that will be performed within that office.
After the initial cleaning and set up and office is open for regular business and will be in needing regular cleaning thereafter. Depending upon the type of business, office cleaning can be required daily or only several times a week in order to meet building code or in order to create or deliver the product or service that they intend. Office cleaning can include clean-up for the equipment, paper waste, the staff kitchenette, the flooring and all glass surfaces in order to keep the room(s) clear of a great majority of germs and bacteria that can hinder productivity or customer safety. Office cleaning is just as important as the services that they provide to the people they serve.

When the calendar hit February, it was almost a foregone conclusion that the Cincinnati Bearcats were NCAA Tournament-bound. My what a difference a month makes.
Mick Cronin's team has seen their once firm grip on an at-large bid dwindle to nothing more than a hope and a dream. Cinci finished February with a 3-5 mark and while none of their losses were particularly bad, this is the time of year where wins go a bit farther and losses are magnified. Especially with only 13 days until Selection Sunday.
Their wins have been over non-tournament teams–Villanova, Connecticut and Seton Hall. The losses have been to much higher quality programs–UConn, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Providence. To be fair, losing to UConn isn't a kiss of death as they'd likely be a tournament team if eligible.
There is still an chance for the Bearcats (20-9, 8-8 Big East) to make a push and that time is now–as in tonight. A win at No. 10 Louisville might be exactly what Cinci needs to cement themselves a berth in the tournament. After tonight's game, they'll finish the regular season at home against the lowly South Florida Bulls, who have but two wins in conference.
To say their play over the course of the season has been inconsistent would be an understatement as the Bearcats have been downright puzzling at times. The reason has been primarily their offensive inability to score the ball–they haven't cracked the 70-point barrier since an overtime win on January 19th. Sean Kilpatrick is shooting just 35.7 percent (25-70) over the last five games–and he's their leading scorer.
Like I mentioned, a signature win–on the road–at Louisville tonight can go a long way for the Bearcats. It'll likely be the type of game they're accustomed to–an ugly, slug-fest–with a Louisville team coming off a big road win at Syracuse.
A win tonight will certainly help but for Cincinnati, the time is now.

Readers Poll: The Worst Songs of the Nineties
'I'm Too Sexy,' 'My Heart Will Go On' and more
More News
9. Right Said Fred, 'I'm Too Sexy'
Supermodels were so big in the 1990s that Cindy Crawford was allowed to star in a major Hollywood movie and Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington opened a chain of restaurants. Sure, Fair Game is a wretched movie and the Fashion Cafe imploded almost as fast as Britney Spears' restaurant Nyla – but these people were still getting awfully big egos. British pop duo Right Said Fred poked fun at the models' supreme sense of self-worth with their 1991 mega-hit "I'm Too Sexy." The song was funny the 10 ten times you heard it, but then it just wouldn't go away.

What's less clear is the preferred convention for foo's private functions and structures: static foo_frob static _foo_frob static frob The last seems like it could be annoying in ddb, which sees even private symbols.

Luke Shaw: I just want to push on and get fully fit
Luke Shaw is looking forward to a new start under Jose Mourinho having returned from the horrific injury that had the Manchester United left-back fearing for his career.
A stop-start first season at Old Trafford made way for what looked set to be a fine second campaign, only for a sickening double leg break to bring his progress to an abrupt halt last September.
Shaw made his first appearance in 10 months in Saturday's friendly against Wigan, with the England full-back calling his return to action the "best feeling ever".
It was an emotional afternoon in front of his family and so many United fans at the DW Stadium after navigating his way through a taxing road to recovery.
"(It was) not a fear but when I first did it, the first thoughts that went through my head were 'am I going to play football again?' or 'how long am I going to be out for?'," Shaw said.
"It wasn't too much the pain because I could deal with that at that point but, yeah, there was a fear of how long it was going to take or even if I was going to get back playing football. But as I went through it I knew I was coming back.
"I think now I'm just looking past it and I am not going to look back, I'm just going to look forward now and obviously my leg feels great.
"I just want to push on in this pre-season and get fully fit."
Shaw is stepping up that return to fitness in China, with a friendly against Manchester City in Beijing following Friday's encounter with Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai.
The heat and humidity makes this a testing trip for the squad, but the boyhood Chelsea fan is enjoying working under Mourinho and excited for the future.
"We've done a couple of weeks now and I've spoken to him a couple of times and obviously all the others players have talked as well," he said.
"I think we are going to be challenging for every sort of title that we can go for this season.
"We all feel that it's a fresh, new start with a new manager and we're bringing in some great players.
"Maybe there's a couple more to come, you never know, but I think we all feel strong as a group and it's important now to sort out the tactical side of what Jose wants us to do in games.
"So we're practising that in training sessions and hopefully we can take that into games and show a very strong side."
United have brought in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly so far this summer, with a central midfielder soon to swell the numbers further - increased competition that Shaw believes his team-mates relish.
"I think you've always got to play for your future," he said.
"There will always be players that are coming in. We are at Manchester United so there's obviously going to be people coming in your position. I think you've just got to get used to that.
"I'd say everyone has looked normal, no-one has looked like they could be leaving or not. You don't know. We don't speak about that, they obviously keep it private.
"But everyone looks to me normal and enjoying the training we are doing at the moment."

Most of Windows users come across Microsoft Office applications at times at their work, school or home depending on their needs of work. MS office is one of the most popular softwares used for creating computer documents, spreadsheets, presentations etc. One of the common troubles faced by many of the new users is that they don't know where they saved the file on the computer after working on them for long time!
Imagine you open MS Word on your work or school or home computer, create a word document with lots of text, data pictures and spend good amount of time in making that document. Then you save that document with some name. Then you close MS Word and you realize that you don't remember in which folder you saved the word document. This is a common problem with new or first time users as they are not very familiar with the software and file saving locations. In this small article, we will share will you some very easy tips to locate the saved files, or even change the default location to a folder of your choice so that you don't end up searching for your documents after you save them.
How To Locate A File Saved In Microsoft Word, Excel Or PowerPoint?
First of all, when you save a file in Microsoft Office, the default location is usually My Documents or Documents folder for most Windows PCs. But in many cases, it maybe different, before you start following detailed steps, just open the My Documents or Documents folder on windows computer where you saved the file and it might just be lying there silently.
If you don't find the file in the folder, first you can check in the Recent Files options. For the same, click on File > Recent File. Here all the recent files with their locations are listed.
Also you can look at the Recent Places where some files have been saved. For example, in MS word, when you go to File > Open option, you see an option folder window in which you get an option called the Recent Places.
In case you don't see your file in the recent places, which is a possibility when many other files have been saved after you saved your file last time, in that case, follow the below steps.
Step 1: Go to File > Options
Step 2: On word options window, click on the Save tab on the left side pane. On the right hand size, you will see the Default File location. This is most likely the location your file is saved at. Open the location and scroll to find your previously saved MS Word file. You can also use search feature in Windows to search the file at that location.
Step 3: If you want to change the default save location of your MS Word files, you can simply click on the Browse button and select the new folder. Keep a convenient location like desktop or some root folder where you would like all your new documents to be saved and press Ok.
This is it. Same way you can make changes to the MS Excel options and PowerPoint options and check the default file location for the new files saved using MS Excel or MS PowerPoint software.
NOTE : The interface may look slightly different in different version of Windows and MS Office, but the functionality is almost the same as this is a fundamental option in all the version of Microsoft Office for Windows. Check out some more Microsoft Office Tips And Tricks By Trouble Fixers.

An easier commute from Kurla?
With commuters complaining of bad connectivity to and from Kurla LTT, the railways will soon carry out a study to verify the feasibility of connecting it with the Central line
Commuters travelling to and from Kurla Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) will have a lot to thank railways for, if this proposed plan finds approval. The Railways are looking at building 'Y' and 'C' -shaped elevated rail corridors connecting the Central and Harbour lines. A survey will soon be carried out to find out the feasibility of connecting the Kurla LTT with an elevated rail link with the Central line via Harbour line.
As per plans being drawn, the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) will soon carry out this study to verify the possibility of not only extending the proposed Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST)-Panvel elevated rail corridor till Thane via Kurla, but also creating another arm that would link Kurla LTT with the Central line. Sources said that Railway Authorities are planning to divert another arm for the CST-Panvel elevated rail corridor, with another elevated rail all the way till Thane from Kurla. Moreover, they are also looking at a small branch, which could be near Ghatkopar and go all the way till Kurla LTT that could resemble the alphabet 'C'.
Rakesh Saxena, chairman and managing director, MRVC, told SUNDAY MiD DAY, "We will carry out a survey to check the feasibility of expanding the elevated rail corridor of CST-Panvel till Thane through Kurla. Also, another rail link till Kurla LTT can be looked at starting from the Main line." The additional link might begin from Ghatkopar and go all the way till Kurla LTT. "At present, the connectivity to and from Kurla LTT is in a bad condition and commuters keep complaining about it," said another MRVC official.
In the current scenario, people arriving or departing from Kurla LTT have it tough, as the auto rickshaw and taxi drivers refuse to co-operate with them. Moreover, the Santacruz-Chembur Link Road (SCLR) that partly lands at Kurla LTT, isn't ready even after 10 years since construction began. Railway officials claim that this proposed link, which will again take some time for construction, would at least provide relief for people in future.
Apart from this, the Kurla-Thane elevated rail corridor would provide some relief to 40-lakh plus daily suburban commuters on the Central Railway. The elevated corridor is likely to bypass the existing main line alignment between CST-Byculla-Dadar-Kurla. Officials added that the proposal appears feasible as only 15 km of the corridor will have to be built to connect Kurla to Thane, and there there is land available at several pockets.
Beyond Thane, the Parsik tunnel could pose issues for taking the elevated rail further. Initially, the CR officials had proposed a separate CST-Kalyan elevated rail, which however has been kept on hold and this is being seen as its alternative. Moreover, they also wanted to scrutinise the working of the Rs 21,000 crore Churchgate-Virar elevated rail corridor which recently underwent changes in its plans.
The plan
The Railways are looking at converting three parcels of land namely at Bhandup, Nahur and Thane and develop its land or air space for commercial purposes.
It is expected to generate revenues in crores of rupees that could then fund other rail projects in Mumbai. There will be multi-storeyed commercial buildings right next to the rail tracks, thus drastically benefitting people at large.

Lone Wolf Knives – Original Lone Wolf Knives – Not The One's By Benchmade
If you are a knife collector then you know the name Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf knives are quality knives par none. Lone Wolf Knives was formed in November of 2001 by former Gerber employees who left the company to form a new, high-end knife company. In the spring of 2002 Jim Wehrs (owner and president) of Lone Wolf Knives approached Paul Poehlmann the man who created the Paul Lock for the now classic Gerber Paul knives and asked him to finish the design of the Paul® Pocket Knife so that Lone Wolf Knives™ could put it into production. Paul agreed and put in many hours to finalize the design.
The design of the lock was finished and Lone Wolf went into full swing production of high end custom quality knives that utilized the Poehlmann locking system which is still to this day considered one of the strongest locking mechanisms in the cutlery business. After only a very short time, less than a decade the Lone Wolf Knife Company was absorbed by the Benchmade Knife Company in 2010. Today the Benchmade Knife Company produces a few pieces of Lone Wolf designed knives and who knows how far that will go into the future.
If you are one of those people that own and have collected Lone Wolf Knives and want to obtain more of the original manufacture of these great knives then contact us at Bonds House Of Cutlery at 702-870-2347

text: Thanks again to the kind folks who helped me source out (and deliver) the goods needed to finish up my Jerry Strat. I swapped out the previous tuners with locking Fenders, added some pearl buttons, a new Callaham bridge, one piece ash Warmoth body with a battery compartment (the previous body had the battery in the trem cavity) and the new dual input jack cover. I just took her for a lengthy test run and it sounds great... not exactly like Rosebud by any means but it has some very Irwin-esqu overtones and has a great tone all it's own too.

There is nothing like having a cell phone on hand to make it easy to stay in touch with people. However, for some people, trying to use a cell phone is very difficult. Even if you know how to use one, finding the best deal can be hard. Keep reading for some great advice.
To extend the battery life of your cellphone, make sure that apps are not running in the background at all times. Some apps will continue to run unless you disable them, and this can drain your battery quickly. Check your settings to see what you need to do in order to turn these apps off and make your battery last longer.
Consider doing a little negotiation on the cell phone price. Yes, you can negotiate in most cell phone stores. And it sometimes even works! It may not be for cost savings either. You could try and negotiate a free case with the purchase of the new cell phone. You don't know until you try.
Use Talkster if you want to have free international calls during the day and night. This service will give you more ads than you are used to but will reduce the high costs that you will have to pay for calls outside of the country. This will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Before buying that case in the carrier store, check out its price online. Online retailers like Amazon.com often have the exact same case, only for a lot less. You can save 20% or more on the cost. Remember, the retailer forces you to buy those accessories at premium prices. Do the research.
If you have a smartphone, be aware that it will probably need to be replaced within a few years. Like a computer, cell phones are consistently using up memory and require newer operating systems. Eventually, your smart phone will become outdated and there will be no memory, meaning your phone will not properly function.
Try getting a cell phone with remote keyless entry. This can come in handy if you lock your keys inside your car. Start by calling a person at home on their cell phone. Then, hold your phone a foot from your car door. They can press and hold the unlock button near their cell phone. The car should unlock.
If you have a newer model phone, you probably do not need to waste your money on a fancy case for it. Today's cell phones are made from durable materials that can handle being bumped and dropped. You really only need the case for an attractive appearance, not to keep your phone safe.
Now that you have read these tips and tricks, you should be better informed about your cell phone. Whether you have just bought your first cell phone, or you have decided to shop for a new plan, this information will be very useful. Keep it in mind for assistance with all of your cell phone questions.
Don't don't hear this from me, hear from the Health Guide.

Brazil: An Examination
I had the privilege of watching the Brazilian national team at the Emirates last night. It may have been more of a privilege than I regard it right now; I could well have been watching the team that lift this year's World Cup. But based on last night, I don't think that will be the case.
Brazil, as always, contain some of the most talented players in the world. Lucio is still a supreme centre-half (eventhough he will be 32 by the start of the tournament), flawless last night and nearly perfect against a top-form Didier Drogba in the Champions League last week. I don't think anyoe can truly appreciate the faculties of Maicon until you see him in person; the man is a fantastic athlete and a graceful footballer. The sight of him marauding down the right flank is truly something to behold. And then there is the crown jewel, Kaka; anything of any substance attack-wise flows through him at some point. For me, these three are the best in the team and would be worthy world champions, but they are not going to achieve this status with some of the supporting cast performing as it is.
Robinho, somewhat misguidedly, was awarded man of the match last night, which I presume was only because he finished off a fine move to score Brazil's second goal and there wasn't really another obvious candidate. His perfomance other than scoring was limp and ineffective; he had missed an easy chance to score earlier in the second half, his passing was poor and his numerous stepovers amounted to nothing. Robinho, on his day, is among the best; skilful, plenty of trickery, unpredictable- when all these things come together (and he uses his brain too), he's a frightening prospect for any opposition. Unfortunately these occurences are all too infrequent. Someone asked me: who would you rather have, Robinho or Ronaldinho? And my response was a shrug of the shoulders; in the case of either, it's easier to predict the toss a coin than if they play well or not. Ronaldinho has had something of a resurgence ins recent months (the most obvious example of this being the first hour against Manchester United a couple of weeks ago); if he carries on like this and Milan put together a late challenge for the Serie A title, Dunga will be under pressure to bring him back into the fold. I think Dunga is reluctant to do so, not least because Ronaldinho doesn't really fit into his 4-2-2-2 system, but I think he must surely be worth taking a risk (if indeed there is any element of risk) on and including in the final 23, if only to make use of him as an impact substitute.
Past the issue of (supposedly) star men not performing, I think that there are problems with the quality of some of the first team players and a lack of strength in depth in some positions. The most obvious problem seems to be at left back. Michel Bastos played there last night, as he did against England in November, but he doesn't really convince me; Shaun Wright-Phillips had the beating of him more than once and he might not even make it on England's plane to South Africa. A high calibre winger with a bit of speed and trickery (not Liam Lawrence) could be troubling for him. Deportivo La Coruna's Felipe seemed to be favourite to fill the void until injury brought his season to a premature end. Other recent left-back call ups:
- Gilberto; back in Brazil with Cruzeiro after failing miserably with Tottenham. He will be 34 by the start of the tournament and, unless he's undergone a magical transformation since his time at Spurs, doesn't seem like the solution to me.
- Kleber: aged 29, plays for Internacional in Brazil. In all honesty, I know nothing about him and can't say that I've seen him play (to my knowledge), but the fact that he's accrued only 19 international caps in 8 years tells me that he's never going to be the long-term answer to the problem. He seems to be one of the first ports of call if there's need for backup and there's no one better around.
- Andre Santos: aged 26, plays for Fenerbahce. Seemed to first choice last year, playing in the majority of the Confederations Cup games as Brazil won the trophy. I thought he was fairly competent; wasn't outstanding, but was a decent enough defender and fairly adept at going forward.
- Marcelo: aged 21, Real Madrid. I don't really know why he's not the first choice. He's not the most consistent performer, but is now playing at left back regularly for one of the top clubs in Europe. He does like to get forward though, and I can see how, with Maicon often forward on the opposite side, Dunga might be concerned that both his fullbacks might commit too much to the attack.
Whoever is chosen to start at left back, the position is still one of the weak links of the team.
The 4-2-2-2 system has been much lauded and the players are familiar with it and slip into position with ease, but is it not perhaps too conservative? If any country can actually put the shackles on Maicon and make him think about defending more than attacking, then the use of two holding players becomes redundant. The way I see it, Gilberto Silva's function is to drop into a centre back position, whilst one of the existing centre backs pushes out wide to cover a vacated full back position. The 4-2-2-2 can often end up looking like this:
< -Lucio Juan Bastos
Maicon Gilberto Melo
Kaka Robinho
Brazil are too reliant on Maicon and attacking down the right. If he's off-form or a team set up defensively to counter his threat, then there's not a lot of attacking thrust coming from elsewhere. In qualification they drew 7 times; 4 of these were 0-0 draws at home. There is a distinct lack of imagination coming from other areas; Kaka was often forced yesterday to go backwards when in possession, as there wasn't enough coming up to support him. Ramires offered nothing- he simply seems to be there as a security net for Maicon roaming forward, protecting the area immediately behind him as he blasts forward. Brazil played were a much more effective attacking unit when Dani Alves replaced Ramires. I would guess that in the vast majority of Brazil games I've seen over the 2010 qualification period, Alves has been brought on to play with Maicon. I can't understand Dunga's apparent reluctance to start them together, when it evidently works. Perhaps he just thinks it would be less effective from the outset and Dani Alves has more of an impact coming off the bench to change the tempo of the side. I think it must surely be worth starting both of them; Alves is a much more capable and invtentive player than either Ramires or Elano. Strikeforce is another problem. Luis Fabiano is a world class centre forward, but is currently injured, as he has been for most of the season. Adriano replaced him last night and might as well have not bothered making the journey from Brazil for all the work he put in. The system relies on using a target man-esque striker, but beyond Fabiano they are lacking in this position.
A (Tentative) Guide on How to beat Brazil:
- Shut down Maicon. Much easier to say than it is to do, but I think this is integral to success. Teams need to be defensively sound and not afford him the space to get down the flank. For example, sticking a hard-working winger who'll track back on him (someone in the Park Ji-Sung mould) should limit his threat. The only alternative is to perhaps go completely in the other direction and stick someone high up on the left and leave them there; Maicon would think twice about marauding forward if Robben or Messi were left in space down his side.
- They don't like a target man, or at least Juan doesn't. Juan seemed quite uncomfortable yesterday with the balls played into Kevin Doyle: he's not the biggest centre-back in the world, and didn't seem to enjoy Doyle having his back to him holding up the ball. I think he would be very tested and exposed against someone with more presence than Doyle (someone like Emile Heskey, maybe?)
- Attack their left. As I've pointed out, left back is a bit of problem for them- none of the potential solutions are brilliant defenders and good wide men will cause problems for them down that flank.
- Move the ball quickly in midfield. The two holding players are not the quickest; age is catching up with Gilberto Silva, and both he and Melo would have received bookings last night if the game weren't a friendly, for poorly timed, sloppy challenges. Snappy, accurate passing could be their undoing (I think if they met tomorrow Spain would beat them).
- Don't try and beat them. For the first hour last night, Ireland had Brazil contained (I don't really count the first Brazil goal as any sort of breakthrough; it was an unfortunate own goal and Robinho was offside in the build up). They sat back with 8 men behind the ball, pumping it up to Doyle to hold up- they did not dare to be the least bit adventurous. Eventually, they could not keep up the intensity of their pressing, Brazil started to assert themselves on the game more and eased through the last half hour. But as their 7 draws in qualifying show, if a team can keep up a solid defence for 90 minutes, Brazil aren't necessarily going to break through.
So, I don't think Brazil will win the World Cup (and with me having said so and written this article on it, they're almost certain to.) Discuss.

Obama, Unity, and Our Work
Flag. Photo by tomsaint11, Courtesy of Flickr.
For me, the real promise of an Obama presidency is the promise of unity.
We may not always agree, but working together to protect the lands we own in common — the lands that benefit so many in so many ways — can be very unifying work.
I am also grateful for the new, collaborative leadership that President Obama has promised for Washington. I'm hopeful that style will extend to Congress as Washington attempts to address the many complex challenges in America's future.
As we plan for the future and look at our opportunities to address global warming, protect wilderness or establish a sustainable energy policy, we need to be aware of the many other issues involved in crafting such policy, and the importance of collaboration in crafting solutions that work on many levels — for the environment, for the economy, for our nation.
This election can lead to a whole new way of doing our work. How will your work be different under this new leadership? How would you like to see us do our work in this new political world? What are your ideas for doing this work?
Thank you. Comments have been closed.

Elements of the uncanny abound in Jack Bates' The Bending of Glass: A middle-aged photographer who moves back in with her schizophrenic mother, a famous artist whose paintings usually revolve around a mysterious waifish girl, and an artist who works in beautiful flowing glass and has problems with an abusive boyfriend, all coalesce when a murder takes place involving a glass fragment. Laurel Merlington performs this first-person mystery with enthusiasm. She delights in voicing the mother's various and colored personae. The mystery unfolds with artistry in the context of a quaint art show and becomes more enigmatic as the local police get involved and the plot takes unexpected turns.
Judith, nearly 40, finds herself divorced and living with her mother. She becomes attracted to a female glass artisan, one of her mother's friends, that has a history of manipulating those who care about her. While exhibiting their works at an art show, Judith and her mother become entangled in a grisly murder.

Indeed, in a private email Thor Lancelot Simon observed that if that machine has I2O processors they are not bothering to announce themselves during a PCI bus scan too.

You are right, ACPI may help. We will see if the MPACPI_SCANPCI option or, better yet, the ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV option helps. Another chance will be ACPI_PCI_FIXUP.
