Target: Douglas County Commission
Sponsored by: Angelica M. Almeyda Zambrano & Eben N. Broadbent
The dogs and cats at Douglas County Shelter, GA are in great danger and they need your help. On November 13, 2012 the Douglas County commissioners hired Rick Smith as Shelter Director. Since his arrival at the shelter Mr. Smith has made changes that greatly reduce the chances of adoption and rescue for the animals at the shelter and will dramatically increase the numbers of healthy adoptable animals being killed and reduce the chance of owners finding their loved lost pets before they are rapidly euthanized at a tax payer funded institution.
Among the most sinister changes are:
1. Rick Smith, new director, reduced the hours open to the public;
2. Rick Smith, new director, reduced the space available to house animals;
3. Rick Smith, new director, reduced the staff allowed to care for animals;
4. Rick Smith, new director, banned socialization time for volunteers and dogs in courtyard;
5. Rick Smith, new director, banned housing puppies together, less socialization and space for the animals;
6. Rick Smith, new director, cancelled the pre-sponsorship program that allowed citizens to sponsor a shelter animal's vetting previous to its adoption;
7. Rick Smith, new director, impeded volunteers from the shelter; reducing care and networking for the animals
8. Rick smith, new director, refused to make available to volunteers the "Animals in Danger" list. This is the list of the animals that are at risk of being killed and that is created on a weekly basis.
9. Rick Smith, new director, appointed his wife as the new volunteer coordinator;
10. Rick Smith, new director, and his wife, new volunteer coordinator, are in the process of establishing a non-profit organization.
11. Citizens interested in volunteering will have to apply for approval to the new non-profit. The non-profit can deny a citizen's application and can dismissed an approved volunteer without cause
12. An appointed member of the Animal Control Advisory Board has been removed without cause
This changes have led to:
1. Lower rates of adoption and rescue for the animals;
2. Lower quality and amount of care for the animals;
3. Resignation of Road Officer;
4. Resignation of Shelter Supervisor, and within one week;
5. Resignation of Road Officer Supervisor;
6. Discontinuation of a very needed free spay and neuter program the "Mae West Fix 'Em Free Program for Douglas County" sponsored by the Southern HOPE (Humane Options to Prevent Euthanasia) Humane Society.
Rick Smith, new director of the Douglas County Shelter, has shown disregard for the well-being of the animals at the shelter. In his three months as Director he has failed to fulfill the main function of his position, to care for the animals in his trust and thus he should be removed as soon as possible. To do any different would only show the Douglas County Commission does not care for the animals in the county.

Marina Lopez Abducts Child From Foster Care, Amber Alert Issuedby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Marina Lopez, a Queens mom believed to be bipolar, snatched her seven-month-old child during a visit in an NYC foster-care agency Tuesday.
An Amber Alert was issued after she somehow managed to walk out of the agency on 7th Ave. near W. 125th St. in Harlem with little Mario Danner.
An NYPD update Wednesday morning said that the suspect may be driving a tan 1995 Lexis ES300 with the New York license plate #GEX1377.
Lopez lost custody of Mario more than three months ago after she was caught brawling in front of the baby, sources close to the case confirm.
Administration for Children's Services officials said they are working with police to find Lopez, who is described as 5'7" and 130 lbs., with brown hair.
She was last seen wearing a pink t-shirt and floral shorts. Mario is described as 20 inches tall and 25 lbs., wearing a gray t-shirt and black shorts.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 866-NYS-AMBER.

Tracking keyword rank is as old as the SEO industry itself. But how you do (and use) it is changing. Are you keeping up?
This post covers how I create and use rank indexes and introduces a new and improved way to track rank in Google Analytics.
In December of 2012 both Raven and Ahrefs made the decision to shut down their rank tracking features because they violated Google's Terms of Service. The reaction from the SEO industry was predictable.
The debate about why Google began to enforce the TOS (I think it has to do with the FTC investigation) and the moaning about how unfair it is doesn't interest me. Both SEOmoz and Authority Labs still offer this service and the way many use rank needs to change anyway.
Every obstacle is an opportunity. Trite but true.
Is Rank Important?
To be honest, I don't use rank that much in my work. This has to do with a combination of the clients I choose to work with and my philosophy that increasing productive traffic is the true goal.
Yet, you'd have to be soft in the head not to understand that securing a higher rank does produce more traffic. Being on the first page matters. Getting in the top three results can produce significant traffic. Securing the first position is often a huge boon to a business. Duh!
But rank is the extrinsic measurement of your activities. It's a Google grade. Rank isn't the goal but the result.
Unfortunately, too many get obsessed with rank for a specific keyword and spend way too much time trying to move it just one position up by any means necessary. They want to figure out what the teacher is going to ask instead of just knowing the material cold.
Rank Indexes
So how do I use rank? I create rank indexes.
A rank index is the aggregate rank of a basket of keywords that represent a type of query class that have an impact on your bottom line. For an eCommerce client you might have a rank index for products and for categories. I often create a rank index for each modifier class I identify for a client.
Usually a rank index will contain between 100 and 200 keywords that represent that query class. The goal is to ensure that those keywords reflect the general movement of that class and that changes in rank overall will translate into productive traffic. There's no sense in measuring something that doesn't move your business.
If that rank index moves down (lower is better) then you know your efforts are making a difference.
Executives Love Indexes
A rank index is also a great way to report to C Level executives. These folks understand index funds from an investment perspective. They get this approach and you can steer them away from peppering you with 'I did this search today and we're number 4 and I want to be number 1' emails.
It becomes not about any one term but the aggregate rank of that index. That's a better conversation to have in my opinion. A rank index keeps the conversation on how to move the business forward instead of moving a specific keyword up.
Getting Rank Index Data
If you're using SEOmoz you export the entire keyword ranking history to CSV.
After a bit of easy clean up you should have something that looks like this in Excel.
At this point I simply copy and paste this data into my prior framework. I've already configured the data ranges in that framework to be inclusive (i.e. – 50,000 rows) so I know that I can just refresh my pivot table and everything else will automagically update.
If you're using Authority Labs you'll want to export a specific date and simply perform the export each week.
There's a bit more clean up for Authority Labs data but in no time you get a clean four column list.
Unlike the SEOmoz data where you replace the entire data in your framework, you simply append this to the bottom of your data. Once again, you know the pivot table will update because the data range has been configured to be quite large.
Creating The Rank Index Pivot Table
You can review my blow by blow of how to create a pivot table (though I'm not using a new version of Excel so it all looks different anyway.) It's actually a lot easier now than it was previously which is something of a miracle for Microsoft in my view.
You'll use the keyword as your row label, date as the column label and the Average of rank as the values. It's important to use a label so you can create different indexes for different query classes. Even if you only have one index, use a label so you can use it as a filter and get rid of the pesky blank column created by the empty cells in your data range.
You may notice that there are a lot of 100s and that is by design.
All those non-ranked terms need to be counted somehow right? I chose to use 100 because it was easy and because Authority Labs reports up to (and sometimes beyond) that number.
Turning Rank Data Into A Rank Index
Now that you have all the rank data it's time to create the rank index and associated metrics.
Below the pivot table it's easy to use a simple AVERAGE function as well as various COUNTIF functions to create these data points. Then you can create pretty dashboard reports.
Average Rank is the one I usually focus on but the others are sometimes useful as well and certainly help clients better understand the situation. A small caveat about the Average Rank. Because you're tracking non-ranking terms and assigning them a high rank (100) the average rank looks a bit goofy and the movement within that graph can sometimes be quite small. Because of this you may wind up using the Average of Ranking Terms as your presentation graph.
I don't care much about any individual term as long as the index itself is going in the right direction.
Projecting Traffic
I can always look at the details if I want and I've also created a separate tab which includes the expected traffic based on the query volume and rank for each term.
This simply requires you to capture the keyword volume (via Google Adwords), use a click distribution table of your choosing and then do a VLOOKUP.
IFERROR(([Google Adwords Keyword Volume])*(VLOOKUP([Weekly Rank],[SERP Click Distribution Table]),2,0)),0)
You'll need to divide by 4 to get the weekly volume but at that point you can match that up to real traffic in Google Analytics by creating a regex based advanced segment using the keywords in that index.
Of course, you have to adjust for (not provided) and the iOS attribution issue so this is very far from perfect. And that's what got me really thinking about whether rank and rank indexes could be relied on as a stable indicator.
What is Rank?
The rise in (not provided) and the discrepancies often seen between reported rank volume and the traffic that shows up point to the increase in personalization. SERPs are no longer as uniform as they once were and personalization is only going to increase over time.
So you might have a 'neutral' rank of 2 but your 'real' rank (including context and personalization) might be more like a 4 or 5.
That's why Google Analytics rank tracking seems so attractive, because you can get real world ranking data based on user visits. But that method is limited and makes reporting a huge pain in the ass. The data is there but you can't easily turn it into information … until now.
Improved Google Analytics Rank Tracking
I got to talking to Justin Cutroni (a really nice and smart guy) about the difficulties around tracking rank in Google Analytics. I showed him how I use rank indexes to better manage SEO efforts and over the course of a conversation (and a number of QA iterations) he figured out a way to deliver keyword rank the way I wanted in Google Analytics.
Using Events and the value attached to it, we've been able to create real keyword rank tracking in Google Analytics.
The Avg. Value is calculated by dividing the Event Value by Total Events. You could change this calculation once you do the export to be Event Value by Unique Events if you're concerned about those users who might refresh the landing page and trigger another Event. I haven't deployed this on a large site yet to know whether this is a real concern or not. Even if it is, you can always change it in the export.
So you can just make Avg. Value a calculated field and then continue to tweak the exported data so that it's in a pivot table friendly format. That means adding a date column, retaining the Event Action column but renaming it keyword, adding a Tag column, and retaining the Avg. Value column.
You essentially want it to mimic the four column exports from other providers. I suppose you could keep a bunch of this stuff in there and not use it in the pivot table too. I just like it to be clean.
Event Based Rank Tracking Code
Start tracking rank this way on any Google Analytics enabled site by dropping the following code into your header.
To make it easier, the code can be found and copied at jsFiddle. Get it now!
Just like the old method of tracking rank in Google Analytics, this method relies on finding the cd parameter (which is the actual rank of that clicked result) in the referring URL. This time we're using Event Tracking to record rank and putting it in a field which treats it as a value.
The code has also been written in a way to ensure it does not impact your bounce rate. So there's no downside to implementation. You will find the data under the Content > Events section of Google Analytics.
Just click on Content, Top Events and then RankTracker and you'll find keyword ranking data ready for your review.
Google Analytics Rank Indexes
I've been working at applying my index approach using this new Event based Google Analytics rank tracking data. The first thing you'll need to do is create an advanced segment for each index. You do this by creating a regex of the keywords in that index.
Sometimes you might not get a click on a term that is ranked 20th and certainly not those that are ranked 50th. That's a constraint of this method but you can still populate an entire list of keywords in that index by doing a simple VLOOKUP.
IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,'Export Event Data'!$A$1:$E$5000,5,FALSE),100)
The idea is to find the keyword in your export data and report the rank for that keyword. If the keyword isn't found, return a value of 100 (or any value you choose). From there it's just about configuring the data so you can create the pivot table and downstream reports.
This new way of tracking is different and has some limitations. So lets deal with those head on instead of creating a grumble-fest.
The coverage isn't as high as I'd like because of (not provided) and the fact that the cd parameter is still only delivered in about half of the referrers from Google. I'm trying to find out why this is the case and hope that Google decides to deliver the cd parameter in all referrers.
Full coverage would certainly increase the adoption of rank tracking in Google Analytics and reduce those seeking third party scraped solutions, something Google really doesn't like. It's in their self-interest to increase the cd parameter coverage.
As an aside, you can get some insight into the rank of (not provided) terms and match those to landing pages, which could be pretty useful.
The other limitation is that you only get the rank for those queries that received clicks. So if you're building a rank index of terms you want to rank for but aren't and track it over time it becomes slightly less useful. Though as I've shown above you can track the average of ranking terms and of the index as a whole at the same time.
One of the better techniques is to find terms that rank at 11 to 13 and push them up to the front page, usually with some simple on-page optimization. (Yes, seriously, it's way more effective than you read about.) So this type of tracking might miss a few of these since few people get to page 2 of results. Then again, if you see a rank of 11 for a term with this tracking that's an even higher signal that getting that content to the front page could be valuable.
Finally, the data configuration is, admittedly, a bit more difficult so you're working a tad harder to get this data. But on the other hand you're seeing ranking data from real users. This could get really interesting as you apply geographic based advanced segments. Larger organizations with multiple locations might be able to determine which geographies they rank well in versus those where they're struggling.
And not Or
At this point I can't say that I'd scrap traditional rank tracking techniques altogether, though I'm sure Google would like me to say as much. Instead, I think you should use the new Google Analytics Event Based Rank Tracking in conjunction with other ranking tools.
First off, it's free. So there's no reason not to start using it. Second, you get to see real world rank, which while limited in scope can be used to compare against neutral rank offerings. Lastly, if you're trying to future proof your efforts you need to be prepared for the potential end to traditional ranking tools or such high variation in personalization to make them unreliable.
Did I mention this new rank tracking method is free?
I'm looking forward to putting this into practice and comparing one tracking method to the other. Then we'll see the potential variance between personalized ranking versus anonymized ranking.
The closure of recent third-party rank tracking services is an opportunity to think about rank in a different way. Using a rank index can help keep you focused on moving the business forward instead of a specific keyword. To future proof your efforts you should implement improved Google Analytics rank tracking for free.

Archbishop opposes deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of crime
January 31, 2012
Archbishop George Niederauer of San Francisco has staked out his opposition to a US government program that the deportation of illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes.
"We cannot allow the pain of family separation and the fear amongst our communities to continue," the archbishop told participants in a meeting held at the cathedral of St. Mary. In a sympathetic report on the meeting, L'Osservatore Romano made the unsupported observation: "Actually in many cases the police force stop immigrants on the basis of general suspicion without any reasons concerning public order."
Immigration officials report that 110,000 convicted criminals have been deported under the program that Archbishop Niederauer opposes. Although critics of the program complain that it allows for summary deportation of illegal immigrants who are convicted of minor offenses, the statistics show that 39,000 of those deported were convicted of felonies.

Unfortunately, this is what passes for leadership in the American Catholic Church. The bishop's position contradicts Church teaching about the role of civil authorities, and the recommendation to let criminals run loose flies in the face of common sense. We still don't know who selects our leaders, but it is obvious that knowledgeable laity have no real voice in the selection process.

Archbishop Niederaurer, what part of the words "convicted" and "illegal" don't you understand? I understand your concern if the illegal alien hadn't been convicted of a crime, yes keep families together and reform the system. However, once they commit crimes on top of being here illegally (a violation of administrative vs criminal law), deport them!

The archbishop can't even run his archdiocese and he wants to open illegal (versus legal) immigration to all, including felons? L'Osservatore Romano makes itself look foolish, as well, as it jumps into the fray - it would do well to return to a few years ago and comment when it had all the facts and maybe an American or two to explain things to the writers. Come to think of it, the archbishop could learn by doing the same.

A seven-year-old? Oh, God save us. I hadn't heard about that one.
When officials are caught in contriving unfair results, they should be banned. We are not too stupid to notice them still sitting on judging panels, let alone being eligible to run for head of the ISU.
Many of us would like to see more of the competitors, not just the top three.
Suppose for a moment that hockey games were shown a week or more after the results are known, and then only the third period, don't you think there would be a drop in popularity?
Last edited by slipslidin; 05-29-2012 at 11:51 AM. Reason: spelling
Making the results even more transparent would be a start. Someone posted on another thread about a statistician answering the question, "Did the new judging system improve accountability in figure skating?" (or a question like that)-- and his response was an emphatic NO, because the new judging system is too convoluted for the average fan who tunes in every four years. Even gymnastics saw a dip in popularity when they changed their scoring system.
I think it's up to the skaters to make skating more interesting. People love human interest stories. People tuned in to watch Dan Jansen skate around the oval, not so much because speed skating is exciting (it is!), but because they wanted him to finally capture gold after two previous tries.
I am sure this year during the Summer Olympics, people will tune in to watch women's vault to see Oksana Chusovitina--who is not just a contender for the gold medal, but is also someone whose presence in gymnastics has been longer than some of her contemporaries have been alive.
Now, I'm not advocating creating drama for drama's sake or airing one's dirty laundry (we certainly don't need anything like this: http://youtu.be/0Vg6Ejha7rY ), but I think skaters should show a bit more personality during interviews. I don't mind it when Chan or Moir express their opinions publicly, or Nagasu gets cheeky. They're human, too.

I think that bullying of children has nothing to do with the issue of figure skating being, figuratively speaking, dead. Bullying has always been there, long before figure skating ever started its first competitions. And, figure skating used to be a lot more popular, in times when bullying was probably more of a common thing. (the ability to broadcast news to the world on-the-fly has only served to help people think that bad events are happening with more frequency). If you're going to become concerned about bullying, then do two things: give the education system the ability to punish children as it used to, and give the responsibility of parenting the children back to the parents.
As for helping figure skating climb out of the hole that it's in, two things in my opinion that need to happen are this. I think that some kind heart at the TOP of the news broadcasting world needs to step in give figure skating more attention than what it's been given. At the BOTTOM of the figure skating competition cirlce (as in the local rinks), the costs need to come down. With the economy being what it is, the costs of coachs' hourly rates and the costs of providing ice time need to come down. At least here in Massachusetts and in New York (I've talked to a number of folks who've been in figure skating for a long, long time) there are fewer rinks than there used to be, and there's less ice time available at the remaining rinks.
This means that ice is more crammed than it used to be. Who wants to deal with THAT? Coaches are also demanding higher rates. Some of that has to do with who coaches who THINK they are worth their salt (or that they are somehow not as good as other coaches if their rates are lower), and some of it has to do with the declining number of students and ice time available. I, myself, had a terrible time finding a coach (once I found one I was able to add another one) simply because the rinks they coach at don't provide that much ice time, and they don't coach more than one student at a time. Viscious cycle, huh???
This has been an awesome thread, not because I started it .... LOL .... but because so many of you all have a lot of insider knowledge of the sport (why can't www.cbssports.com acknowledge figure skating as a sport?). That tends to be hidden because most here are chatting about the latest gold medal hopeful, or because they're busy with their own lives. I believe, as at least one poster in this thread mentioned, that this IS a topic that's been beaten to death. Please, though, DON'T stop talking about it. You guys are the ones holding this sport up. It's not the Olympic hopefuls that are the foundation. They will win their medals and move on.
It's the ones at places like goldenskate that are the ones that spend the money that keeps the rinks open, the coaches employed, the young skaters outfitted with new boots and blades and fancy costumes, oh and a show writer. Manufacturers and rinks can't survive on elite skaters alone. Those at the top of their sport aren't going to spend money to keep this sport alive. They have other dreams to tend to.

Grilled Eggplant Parmesan
This grilled-vegetable version of eggplant Parmesan, like the one Grace Parisi's Calabrian grandmother used to make, is much lighter than the fried kind.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 4
- 1 large eggplant
- 4 large plum tomatoes
- extra-virgin olive oil
- salt
- ⅓ c. green olives
- 2 tbsp. oil-packed Calabrian chiles or other hot chiles
- ¼ c. basil
- basil leaves
- 6 oz. Fontina cheese
- Crusty bread
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and heat a grill pan. Brush eggplant and tomato slices with olive oil and season lightly with salt. Grill eggplant in batches over moderately high heat, turning once, until softened and lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Grill tomatoes, turning once, until lightly charred but still intact, about 2 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine olives, chiles, and shredded basil. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In enter, arrange half of eggplant in a 9-inch square, overlapping slices slightly. Top with half of grilled tomatoes, olive mixture, and Fontina. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with cheese.
- Bake in center of oven for about 15 minutes, until bubbling and golden. Let stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with basil leaves and serve with crusty bread.

When I am facing a challenge or am nervous about taking action on something, I repeat the following phrase: A closed mouth won't get fed. I picked up the phrase in college when I needed a favor from a fellow barista and was beating around the bush. He blurted out, "Allison, a closed mouth won't get fed. What do you need?"
Oddly enough, my inability to speak up has been a problem all of my life. In elementary school, teachers would write about how smart I was, if only I would talk more. At work, my bosses would encourage me to share my ideas more once they discovered something I was toiling away on in a corner somewhere.
To be honest, I've embraced this as part of my INTJ personality; I prefer to work on things on my own, sharing only when near completion or perfection. But this has very clear downsides; sometimes being too quiet can stifle my work as people who need to know or can help aren't included.
What's your career motto?
"A closed mouth won't get fed" has become my career motto.
I see a career motto as a phrase that summarizes your framework for taking action and solving problems in your day-to-day work and as you figure out your larger career focus. It also serves as a reminder to stop doing things that hold you back (or encourage you to do things that often move you forward). My motto reminds me that:
If I don't ask for help, I won't get any.
If I don't talk about my accomplishments, I won't get noticed.
If I don't ask questions, I won't produce great results.
If I am silent, my career will stall.
What's your career motto?

School Baord will study all fundraising done in association with school activities
- Published in Local News
LACONIA — The School Board last night unanimously adopted a slightly revised policy on fund-raising activity with the caveat that the Policy Committee and the administration will conduct a review of all club money raising activities and accounts beginning in February.
In an Policy Committee meeting held an hour before the full board meeting, members said they would like to know more about who is raising money in the name of the schools and who is keeping track of the money once raised.
All Policy Committee members agreed that the pool of available money — both from the school budget and from private donors for extra-curricular activities has dwindled while the number of clubs and organizations seeking money has grown.
"It would be nice to know how many are asking for donations as opposed to selling stuff," said member Beth Arsenault.
Specifically, the new policy replaces one that expressly forbade the use of raffles and other games of chance. The old policy has been in place since 1972 and members of the current School Board and administration have no idea why raffles had been prohibited.
A need for a review of fund-raising activity within the district came to light last summer when members of the Capital Campaign Committee promised Laconia Youth Football the concession stand revenue at home football games in exchange for a donation to the campaign.
The objections arose when members of the Kiwanis Club — the adult sponsors of the LHS Key Club — cried foul when they learned they would no longer be staffing the Friday night concession stand as they had for many, many years. It was, contended members of the Kiwanis Club, the students' biggest source of income.
The policy said then and continues to say now that the building principal must approve any fund-raising activity.
While concession stand issue has been settled, some members of the board, led by at-large member Mike Perssons, questioned how much fund-raising activity there is in the schools and whether or not there is real need for it.
His primary concern, one that was echoed by other members, is how much is being raised for each activity, who is keeping track of the money, and what happens to it should the fundraiser exceed its goal or fall short of its goal.

Life is all about decisions
Mondays is the day that I always write a post about a woman entrepreneur. Since I am on vacation, I am going to take the week off and instead write about a topic about women that has been making its way around the internet last week.
I read the article in the Atlantic that Anne-Marie Slaughter wrote as many others have. I was thrilled to see the honesty and transparency of how difficult it has been for her in the push pull between motherhood and the working world. It is hard on so many levels and very few people are honest about it.
This past week I was on two lists. One was in Business Insider, New York's Top Early Stage Investors and Fast Company, 60 Influencers Who Are Changing The World. I was certainly surprised to be on either of the lists but the one thing that I found irritating more than anything else was under my name in Business Insider it had to mention that I was married to Fred Wilson. Really? It certainly did not mention under Fred WIlson's name that he was married to Joanne Wilson. Just to add insult to injury, this week there was an article in the Daily News how Fred WIlson is bank rolling as well as it was his concept to create the Academy for Software Engineering. Really? Actually we are bank rolling it and I have been involved in the world of education since the mid-90s and we have been discussing the important of education, STEM and how we need to do something to make NYC the best place in the world around our kitchen table for ever. Why do I bring this up, because I read Anne-Marie's article about how she was at an event with the leaders of the world shaking hands but actually thinking about her 14 year old son. I so get it.
Life is about decisions. We are a country that does not embrace women the same way we embrace men. I see it first hand every single day. That is one of the reasons I invest in women. Not all my investments are women driven but I'd say about 85% of them are. It is more difficult being a woman than a man because if we have children we think about our 14 year old being home and agonize over it in a way that most men that I know do not. No offense to men, it is just not in the forefront of their brain. And if we aren't married and choose to not go that route, we are looked at in a different light too.
Women ask me all the time about having children and balance as an entrepreneur. My advice is consistent, just do it and you will figure it out. It won't be easy but you can't prolong youth. There is something to be said about having your children when you are young. I had our first at 29 years old and perhaps that is why I have been able to re-enter the work world, per se, and quickly make up for lost work time. I made many decisions when the kids were younger to be present in their lives, I was able to get off the train and be home with them. We were barely making ends meet because I was the bread winner many times over when I got off that train. It was not exactly the most healthy decision for my brain or ego but in the end, it all worked out. I am a big believer that things always work out for a reason.
The system needs to change in the US if women and men will be treated equally based on everything and anything. Do i actually believe that men will think about their children and their playdates, clothes being in their closet, that their homework is completed and that they show up to everyone of their sporting events like women do, perhaps. If society changed things up so that the hours of school or the events for kids were coordinated around a working persons life….and companies were more flexible for parents then maybe things would be different.
Women make many more choices and decisions that men make. If the curtains were pulled back and women were honest with other women about the choices they made and repercussions from those choices they made it would be a helluva lot more empowering. Getting up at 5am to go to work and then coming home at 9pm when your kids have nothing to say to you does not mean that you are going to have a fantastic relationship with your kids and that is ok if that is the choice you make. If you look amazing every day when you go work and it is because you hire someone to dress you and fill your wardrobe every six months that is ok too. If you have 3 assistants and 2 nannies because that is the life you chose for yourself because that is what you want and need that is ok too. If you chose to stick your kids in daycare because your salary made up the rent and you loved your job then that is ok too. If you chose to get off the corporate ladder and bake cookies everyday and run the family finances instead that is ok too. I think the key to women feeling ok with their decisions be it running a billion dollar company to running the PTA is all about honesty and transparency with other women. Any choice you make is ok because it is yours. Yet we should be honest about our decisions so other women coming up the pipeline who are 20 or even 30 understand that life is all about decisions and each decision has repercussions.
There is frustration among women who don't have families too. In many ways we have to redefine feminism. Women deserve the same opportunities as men to climb the ladder yet there is no doubt an underlying feeling of discrimination against women. I might be subtle or subconscious but it is there. I saw it first hand in my career. There is a reason I am a huge fan of women entrepreneurs it is because if you own your own business, you get to own your own life. You can create environments that work for you. Women need to create their own clubs, per se, and be champions of each other.
You know what, when I was 18 I thought I would grow up to become Fred Wilson. Ended up I married that guy who had no idea what he was going to do even at 23. I was driven from the moment I came out of the womb but kids, life and the real world got in the way. He didn't see the light for years but in the end I made the choices I made because life happened. I have a great relationship with my kids and maybe i would have no matter what choice I made but it doesn't make a difference. What makes a difference is that I am honest about why I made those choices when I did.
Does it piss me off that it is all about Fred the majority of the time, sometimes but unfortunately in this country, whether we like it or not, it is still a mans world. I hope that women write more articles like Anne-Marie because that type of honesty is what will truly make a change in our country as more women who have lived through the reality of those decisions need to speak up and be heard. Truth of the matter, it is the women running this country but they are the wizards behind the curtains. It is time for women to come out from behind the curtain.

News sites increasingly kept in the dark as Google hides incoming search terms
A sizable percentage of inbound search terms are hidden from publishers now that Google encrypts searches by default when users are logged in to Google.com and Firefox and Chrome use encrypted search in their toolbars.
When Google announced the change in October, the company predicted that the change would affect less than 10 percent of searchers. Adtrak writes that the figure is much higher:
Figures reiterated quite often on blogs, forums and in tweets suggest that some 20% of their keyword traffic is hidden behind secure search (when a person is signed into their Google account and searching the web).
I checked Poynter.org's analytics: Keywords were hidden in 29 percent of searches in April. That's up from 22.5 percent in November, shortly after the change was made. Now "(not provided)" makes up the largest category of search terms, dwarfing the second place term: Poynter. Overall, 6 percent of inbound traffic now comes from a black box.
Besides Google, Firefox and Chrome now default to secure search in their toolbars. When you combine Google's share of the search market with Firefox and Chrome's share of the browser market, about 26 percent of searches will be encrypted, not including those logged in to Google, according to Practical eCommerce.
Adtrak's take:
The question is, could your business afford to not know what 20% – 40% were searching for, when they use the world's most popular search engine to find a product, or a service?
This poses challenges for people trying to assess whether their content is in sync with potential readers, but it also can hide potential story leads. Laura Amico of Homicide Watch D.C., uses incoming search terms as clues for recent murders. She described in a Knight News Challenge proposal how this enables her to beat the competition:
When people land on HomicideWatch.org, we see their search terms in our site analytics. When we see a name we don't recognize, we run it through Twitter and Facebook searches, where we usually find a profile filling up with RIP messages. We follow these sources and report the story out of the information they are sharing. This means we often have an ID long before police put out an official statement. When other news organizations are rewriting that press release, we have a rich profile with comments from friends and family.
Amico and her husband Chris sought funding to build software to enable searching and filtering of search terms, but the proposal didn't make it to the second round.
Chris Amico told me by email that "(not provided)" is the second-highest search query for the website in the last month. He said encrypted searches probably affect Laura's reporting, "but it's hard to say, because '(not provided)' is a black box. ... At the very least, it's frustrating because we don't know what we're missing." || Related:2011: The Year Google & Bing Took Away From SEOs & Publishers (Search Engine Land) |

bill-swift - May 15, 2014
You know who has a wonderful job? Well, me, yeah, and Obama, and the guy who gets to take home the extra donuts at the end of his shift, but besides us, Raquel Rischard. She's the hottie photographer who finds models in L.A. to strap bikinis barely around their bosoms and go do shoots up in the hills or down by the beach. It's a tough gig, but somebody's got to do it.
Her latest and most boobtastic is Courtney Compton who barely stays in her bikini as she rubs her body over rocks and poolside furniture in Malibu. Oh, those lucky boulders. Courtney is not short on personality, or long killer toned legs and an all over bodacious bikini body. I can easily see myself falling for a girl like Courtney. It's less easy to see how that ever comes back to me in the reverse. Alas. Enjoy.

SL boys, girls netters looking at rebuilding years
Boys players will make big position jumps
Players will be making a big position jump in this year's Storm Lake varsity boys tennis lineup.
The bottom three varsity players last year will be asked to play the top three positions this season, making it somewhat of a rebuilding year.
Storm Lake returns three of its varsity players from last year's team that finished fourth in the Lakes Conference during the regular season and fifth in the league meet.

And so it begins. With the ink still drying on the Irish votes cast (or re-cast) in favour of the Lisbon Treaty, our Brussels correspondent today details well-advanced plans for a European Union diplomatic corps. Before long, our ambassadors around the world will have EU counterparts next door, probably in more luxurious offices, signing off crucial matters on our behalf.
This is nothing new in such designs, of course. The intrinsic tendency of the European project is to expand into new areas, to bring as many policy areas as possible within its ambit. A proposal is made in committee, a resolution drafted, and before you know it, another slice of sovereignty has slipped away. Perhaps the ultimate symbol of this process is that the European Community, the entity we voted to join in the only referendum we have been allowed, is formally to be scrapped, having outlived its usefulness.
Those proposing these latest changes argue that Europe needs to present a more united front on the world stage. With the rise of China and other powers, a general rebalancing of global power is underway both institutionally and economically, which will inevitably involve a loss of influence for the traditional powers of Western Europe. To preserve its influence in this new world, they claim, the EU needs a more coherent foreign policy. Yet we need to be wary. The EU could certainly improve on its track record of navel-gazing and inaction. But frequently, its interests do not coincide with Britain's – a good example is over the future shape of the City of London. Moreover, the UK remains one of the world's largest economies, one of its leading military powers, and – we devoutly hope – a force for good in the world. We must be vigilant in countering the salami-slice tactics that will otherwise nudge us inexorably away from our place at the top table.

The Georgia Lady Bulldogs look to be a force in the SEC this season, but they may be overshadowed by two dangerous squads in Tennessee and Kentucky. Any team that overlooks them, however, is going to regret it severely. The Lady Bulldogs have been a hot team the past few seasons, and I expect them to continue their successful play this season.
It all starts with Georgia's head coach Andy Landers, who is one of the most successful coaches of all time. He has been inducted into the Women's College Basketball Hall of Fame and is the winningest college basketball coach in Georgia history. He gets the most out of his players, and is always recruiting new talent. He treats the team like they are a family and it shows in the balanced style that the Lady Bulldogs like to play.
Georgia has all the pieces that it needs to be successful this season. It returns three of its four leading scorers from a season ago, with the only major loss coming in the form of Ashley Houts, the Lady Bulldogs' number 1 scorer from last season. However, the experience that Georgia has should help them overcome the gap that was left in the team with Houts's departure.
Sophomore Jasmine James is the leading scorer returning for the Lady Bulldogs as well as the leader in assists and she looks to be the new leader of this Georgia team. She had a problem with turnovers last year as a freshman, and Landers will look to have that corrected before this season begins.
She has a great supporting cast returning as well, with senior Porsha Phillips and junior Meredith Mitchell both returning as well. These three should be electric in Georgia's offense, which is about as balanced as they come. The Lady Bulldogs can beat teams in a number of different ways, with a number of different people. This will make them extremely tough to defend throughout the season.
Another big loss is that of Georgia's best defensive player from a year ago in Angel Robinson. She led the team with 61 blocks and was a force to be reckoned with inside the paint. The Lady Bulldogs could always count on her for a big play on defense. Mitchell will be relied upon in Robinson's stead to provide a defensive spark.
The Lady Bulldogs are the dark horses of the SEC East, and should make some noise going into the SEC Tournament and NCAA Tournament this season. They will be a fun group to keep an eye on as the season unfolds.

William Stones (1788-1840)
William Stones entered the Wesleyan itinerancy in 1809 on the recommendation of the Sheffield circuit. There had been concerns about his health but 'his master with whom he served his time [as an apprentice] declared his constitution was good, though he had a delicate appearance.'
The year before he formally entered the itinerancy, Stones had served in the Newbury circuit. After becoming an itinerant Stones exercised an active ministry in the home work until superannuation to the Madeley circuit in 1836.

Memories of Wheeling Downs & Big Bill Lias
by Hugh Stobbs
[This story is in partnership with our friends at Weelunk. Be sure to read about Steve Novotney's interview with Mr. Stobbs, here.]
[Hugh Stobbs, who worked for many years at Wheeling Downs, appeared at Lunch With Books at the Ohio County Public Library on July 26, 2011 to discuss his memories of the track, the horses, the gamblers, Bill Lias and all of the things that made Wheeling Downs the interesting place it was in its heyday. The following story was adapted from the transcript of his program as well as from recent discussions with Mr. Stobbs. Pieces from Mr. Stobbs's extensive collection of Wheeling Downs memorabilia are currently on display in the store windows at 1310 Market Street in downtown Wheeling and in the main display are at the library.]
This talk will be presented in three segments. The first will explain how Wheeling Downs developed through the years. The second will be about Bill Lias, because everybody associates him with Wheeling Downs. And the last segment will cover my introduction to Wheeling Downs, the different jobs I did there, the people I worked with, and various other things about the track. Read More

Apple Computer has scaled up the technology rivalry with IBM, taking the company's senior vice president and general counsel Donald Rosenberg.
Rosenberg had worked at IBM for more than 30 years, but was only named as senior vice president and general counsel in January.
He joins Apple with the same title, and will report to chief executive Steve Jobs.
Previously he had been vice president and assistant general counsel for litigation and counsel to IBM's mainframe division, where he was crucial in the formulation of IBM's IP protection policies.
Apple's statement did not say whom Rosenberg replaced, but the company's 2005 annual report listed Nancy Heinen as senior vice president and general counsel.
The move follows that of IBM's Europe Middle East and Africa general counsel Carl Belding, who quit the firm in October 2005 to take up the role of chief legal officer at Nokia from 1 January 2006.

Golfweek's Match Play Challenge...
Okay, I've filled out my WGC Accenture Match Play bracket at Golfweek.com and as always, they've made it fun and easy to do.

Curly weave looks very nice and fits almost every face shape.
But its allot harder to take care of than the straight and wavy weave.
When buying a curly weave try and stick to virgin hair, even if it is Indian hair or Brazilian hair, as virgin hair has not been processed much so doesn't have any chemical damage so will not tangle easily.
To maintain curly weave follow the instructions below:
Plait it into into one or two pony tails when going to bed, don't sleep with it like that as when you wake up it will be in a tangled mess and if you keep doing this for a long period of time it will make the hair shed quicker and tangle.
Before styling your curly hair spritz with a bit of water or use a leave in hair conditioner and detangler and style. NB: for best results you can use water every day on it but using leave in hair products should be every other day or twice a week as this builds up in the hair over time so will need to be washed out.
Try and not dye or bleach curly hair too much as this can weaken the hair and cause it to shed.
use a width tooth comb on it and just put your finger through it, do not use a brush on it as this will make it shed.

Hey there fellow guitarists! Today's lesson is about the pentatonic (or blues) scale. The pentatonic scale is probably the most popular scale to learn if you're a new guitarist because it can work over any kind of music. This post starts past the basics of the scale though, and features some creative ways to spice up the scale even more. You'll see some creative ways to use the scale in a blues music setting, but also some advanced solo techniques from jazz guitarist, John Scofield. Scofield is known for a very unique voice on the guitar and incorporates blues, jazz, and fusion sounds into his playing. There's a lot to learn from this short post, so get your guitar out and enjoy!
Ultimate Guitar has some great advice to get started with the pentatonic scale for all new guitarists. See the whole post, including practice techniques that will help you master the scale, at http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/columns/music_theory/3_ways_to_use_the_entire_pentatonic_scale_diagram_into_your_advantage.html?no_takeover.
Almost all guitarists usually start learning to play the acoustic or electric guitar after watching a great guitarist soloing. For that reason all of us want to begin composing awesome solos as we get passed the beginning level of studying.
That basic commencing period generally is composed out of discovering tips on how to hold both your hands regarding the guitar, understanding the basic guitar music theory and beginning to improve the endurance in your wrists and hands.
The guitar pentatonic scale is usually among the first scales were comprehending for only a few very good reasons:
– It isn't difficult to learn since it has got only 5 notes
– It's an attractive scale and it can be used in any existing musical context
– It happens to be one of the most extremely put into use scale in music, specifically in rock n roll or jazz.
– It's just a variation of the major scale. The guitar pentatonic scale is simply speaking the major scale along with degrees 4 and 7 eliminated.
Next Level Guitar teaches us how to use the pentatonic scale featuring the styles of Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan. See the whole lesson at http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-TbweRYfTb4.

When I was a child growing up in England, my grandma used to cut the page 3 picture out of The Daily Mirror (a popular newspaper at the time), as she didn't want us kids to see the images of the well-developed ladies featured there.
Our ABC seems to be doing the same thing, in order to protect us from disturbing images of the real world.
For instance, just look at their report of 3 March about the US airmen killed in Frankfurt:
A gunman has opened fire on a US military bus at Frankfurt Airport, killing two airmen and wounding another two.
The US troops were preparing to fly home when their bus came under attack outside Terminal 2 of the busy commuter hub.
Police think an argument broke out on the bus before the suspect started shooting.
Kosovo has revealed the suspect is one of its citizens and the country's interior minister says it is investigating whether it was an organised attack. (source)
So there was an argument, and a man from Kosovo started shooting. Big Deal!
Now compare it to the US ABC report of 2 March:
A gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar" opened fire on a bus carrying U.S. airmen in Frankfurt, Germany, killing two and wounding two others before his gun jammed and he was subdued, officials said.
An ethnic Albanian from Kosovo was taken into custody and the FBI was heading an investigation because U.S. citizens were killed and to determine whether the shooting was an act of terrorism.
When he opened fire, the gunman, identified as a long-term resident of Germany, shouted "Allahu Akbar," according to sources. He fired nine times, killling two and critically wounding two others before the gun jammed and he was subdued by other passengers. While being wrestled into submission, the suspect shouted either "Jihad Jihad" or "Allahu Akbar," sources said.
The service members who were attacked were members of a Security Forces team assigned to RAF Lakenheath in Great Britain. They were being transported to Ramstein Airbase and were en route to support Overseas Contingency Operations, although their exact destination was not stated.
Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., said at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing today that the shooting looks like it could be a terrorist attack.
The gunman was identified by sources to ABC News as Arid Uka, although other spellings give his name as Arif Uka. Although he has lived in Germany for years, he is a citizen of Kosovo and his family is from the northern town of Mitrovica.
U.S. intelligence officials are running Uka's name through its terrorism data bases to see if he has come to their attention before. (source)
Now this report is a Big Deal, as it gives me the sort of information needed to make a realistic assessment of the situation.
So please Aunty, it's really kind of you to want to protect me, but I'm all grown up now, so just give me the facts. OK, they might upset me, but unlike you I can handle the truth.
And I really need to know what's going on in the world.
Another thing I really need to know: how can it be racist to oppose Islam? This Kosovo jihadist was presumably WHITE, so is it still racist to oppose white Muslims? How is it racist to oppose Pete Lentini, Susan Carland, David Hicks et al for their adherence to Islam?
Yet Cory Bernardi was labelled a racist for describing Islam as a "totalitarian" religion, with Andrew Wilkie, the Tasmanian independent MP condemning the "racism that eats at the Liberal Party" Bernardi correctly asked how "questioning the tenets of a religion" could be defined as racism, and made the point that attacks on Scientology or the Exclusive Bretheren aren't described as racist.
Despite the undoubted logic of this reasoning, Al Age on March 6, in Muslim prayer group targeted, by Gary Tippet, mocked those opposing the Muslim prayer group:
QAISER Mohammed is a short, slight, unfailingly polite operator of a city convenience store. He believes it is highly unlikely he has ever struck terror into the heart of anyone.
His friend Mahmood Saleem is a taxi driver with a large smile above a wispy beard. In the years he's been attending Friday Muslim prayers at the Alma Road Community Centre in St Kilda East, he has never felt inclined to step out and commit violence on a non-believer. That certainly wasn't going to change on Friday when he led the sermon - on respect for, and duty to, parents.
Yet the men and about 35 other worshippers at the centre have found themselves targets of an obscure anti-Muslim group petitioning Port Phillip Council to prevent them from continuing to pray there and, according to the petition's organiser, turning the centre into ''a place of worship for radical ideologies''.
The petition … suggests they have reason to be scared: ''It is well documented that in many parts of the Islamic world, Friday prayers are noted for escalating violent outbursts towards non-Muslims."
Last month, Q Society took up the fight against the group…their objections to the prayer group were based on parking problems caused by ''40 or 50 taxis out the front there every Friday afternoon'', the men using the centre's toilets for ritual washing, and the breach of the permit's 10-person rule.
Yet on its website Q Society spruiks itself as ''anti-Islam''. Ms Janson, a former Senate candidate for the Reverend Fred Nile's Christian Democratic Party, says that might be ''very poor wording … What we are saying is we don't want to support this totalitarian system where we have to embrace sharia law.'' (source)
Actually, I don't believe it is poor wording. While we are not against Muslims, anyone who upholds equality and freedom of thought, religion and speech are necessarily against Islam, which endorses segregation, inequality and the prohibition of the freedoms we in the free world hold so dear.
Al Age even had an editorial:
Fear, intolerance and a Muslim prayer group, March 6, 2011
Ignorance and racism are the real enemies.
Members of the prayer group applied through the regular channels and were duly approved. The assessment criteria asked: Is the activity meeting a local need? Is the group legal, non-discriminatory and are their activities in keeping with the Victorian Human Rights Charter? Is the group's meeting going to affect amenity of the area? ''We have every reason to believe that this group satisfies all requirements,'' Ms Joffe says.
Enter the ''anti-Islam'' Q Society, based across the city at Altona Gate… claiming the men are linked to an extremist Islamic organisation promoting the imposition of sharia.
Encouragingly, this racist campaign has led some members of the Jewish community to support the prayer group (the Alma Road house is in the heart of a Jewish precinct). including …the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC), whose executive director, Deborah Stone, … argues…''Jewish people know only too well what it is to find oneself subject to stereotyping … We at the ADC understand that by defending everyone's freedom we ensure a freer society for ourselves.''
The sentiments hold true for all Australians. A tolerant society is more interesting, more resilient, more creative and more diverse; in such an environment, everybody wins. According to Sandy Joffe, members of the prayer group are ''keen to meet and discuss their religion in a multi-faith forum''. As Deborah Stone points out, assuming Muslims are terrorists is the same as expecting that Italians running a restaurant ''will be using it as a Mafia hideout or that the local Catholic school is sheltering a paedophile priest''. Stereotypes are stupid and dangerous. They breed fear and can lead their targets to feel resentful, defensive and alienated.
Generally speaking, Australia has a proud record as a home for people from many cultures, but the controversy surrounding the Alma Road Community House points to the need for vigilance. At the federal level, the Liberals have been divided over a motion by immigration spokesman Scott Morrison to cap refugee visas for boat people. Last week the Coalition did not press for a vote amid fears moderate MPs would cross the floor. And Liberal parliamentary secretary Senator Cory Bernardi recently described Islam as ''a totalitarian, political and religious ideology''.
Promoting intolerance for political gain potentially threatens our way of life. In this climate, federal government plans to create an independent Australian Multicultural Council are welcome. Racist campaigns need to be vigorously opposed in the interests of a happier and more harmonious Australia. (source)
Note that the Islamic men are mostly from India, yet their race is irrelevant to the Q Society, which has supporters from many ethnicities.
As for the fatuous arguments put forward by Deborah Stone and Sandy Joffee, they simply reflect their reliance on wishful thinking, rather than facing up to the facts. They would be well advised to read: Can 75 Rabbis be Wrong?
Islam is the problem
And Islam is NOT a race!

Just got my front and rear aluminum skid plates from RC Driven. Ship time was reasonable and the price was about the going rate.
Unfortunately, the screw holes aren't machined right. On the stock plates, the holes are beveled perfectly to allow the screws to sit just beneath the plate. With the RC Driven plates, the bevels are too shallow. The screws are seated about a half-milimeter ABOVE the plate. So when my chassis bottoms out, the first thing to make contact will be the screw heads. If they get ground down, I'm hosed.
Poorly engineered, RC Driven!
Make it idiot-proof and along comes a better idiot

Exodus and Numbers
Full Product Description
Although the descendants of Jacob moved to Egypt as honored guests, in time they became despised slaves groaning under the mistreatment of Pharaoh. In response to the people's cries, God called a man named Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt into Canaan, but their journey took a dramatic forty-year detour when they failed to trust in God.
In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with God's calling of Moses, continuing through the giving of the Ten Commandments, and concluding with the Israelites' preparations to enter the Promised Land. This study includes close-up examinations of Aaron, Caleb, Joshua, Balaam and Balak, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as "Complaints and Rebellion" and "Following God's Law."
The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.
Exodus and Numbers by John F. MacArthur was published by Thomas Nelson Publishers in September 2015 and is our 9896th best seller. The ISBN for Exodus and Numbers is 9780718034702.

From Principles to Practice: The Role of the SA8000 in Implementing the UN Global Compact
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is the world's largest corporate citizenship and sustainability initiative that gathers companies and civil society organizations committed to the 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. Launched 10 years ago and structured as a voluntary but accountable public-private initiative, the Global Compact focuses on engaging businesses around the world in the implementation of best corporate social responsibility practices. Chief Executive Officers of participating companies pledge to align their operations and strategies with the ten UNGC principles and they share approaches 10 lessons learned in the annual progress communication publication.
Just as good corporate citizenship goes beyond statements and declarations, participation in the UN Global Compact goes beyond signing a name on the dotted line. As companies commit to implementing the ten principles of the UNGC, they seek the best mechanisms to ensure that these principles are reflected in their performance. While there is no single best approach, there are some mechanisms that may prove useful for many companies around the world. One example is the SA8000 global social accountability standard for decent working conditions developed by Social Accountability International (SAI).
This article shows how six companies of different sizes representing different sectors and corners of the world use the SA8000 workplace standard as a tool to implement and report on the commitments to the labor principles (Principles 3-6) of the UN Global Compact. The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) and SAI jointly interviewed their executives to obtain first-hand accounts of how they implement the principles of good corporate citizenship in practice. Each company is both a UN Global Compact participant and certified compliant to SA8000; all companies take advantage of the synergies between these two standards. In doing so, they have moved from ideas and statements to action.
This article is based on a joint UNGC-SAI-CIPE publication under the same title launched at the UNGC Leaders Summit in New York, June 2010. The full publication is available here.

There are currently about 5,000 brands of distilled spirits on the market in the United States, and hundreds of new brands are marketed each year. Tastings are an extremely effective way to encourage adult consumers to sample, compare and ultimately choose new beverage alcohol products - giving them the opportunity to learn more about the numerous types and brands of distilled spirits products before having to pay for a full-sized premium product.
46 states allow some form of distilled spirits tastings.
At least 41 states allow tastings in bars and restaurants and 39 states allow tastings in retail stores that sell spirits for off-premise consumption. Also, 36 states allow consumer spirits tastings at both on- and off-premise establishments.
The Distilled Spirits Council believes all states should provide equal market access and a level playing field for all beverage alcohol - beer, wine and distilled spirits.
In light of the fact that on-premise and off-premise establishments both hold a valid State license, tastings should be permitted at these retail establishments.
Tastings are a customary and longstanding means to feature a brand of product.
States that permit tastings usually limit the size and number of sample tastings and, of course, prohibit illegal underage consumption.
States have not reported abuse, social consequences or enforcement problems related to laws that permit limited beverage sampling.

Amy Winehouse Remembered at Memorial Service, Cremated Shortly Thereafterby Free Britney at . Comments
Music executives, former band member, close friends and family gathered Tuesday at a synagogue in Edgware, North London, to mourn Amy Winehouse.
The soulful singer with the beehive, velvety vocals and turbulent personal life took the music world by storm in 2006 with the acclaimed Back to Black.
Tragically, she was never able to overcome her demons and passed away just five years later at age 27. Police found Amy Winehouse dead Saturday.
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse (1983-2011).
Her funeral was attended by about 150 people today, including close friend Kelly Osbourne, who wore her hair in Winehouse's signature beehive style.
Mark Ronson, who produced Back to Black, and boyfriend Reg Traviss were also on hand. Not on hand? Ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who's in jail.
No one was more visible this afternoon than her father.
"Goodnight my angel," said Mitch Winehouse, who fought for years to help Amy with addiction. "Sleep tight. Mommy and Daddy love you ever so much."
Sad as the occasion was, there were lighter moments.Her father's eulogy was "funny," a spokesperson for Winehouse said. He was "telling stories about her childhood, everybody was laughing like a celebration, and like they all remembered the stories themselves."
The hour-long memorial service, meant to celebrate the Grammy winner's life, was partially in Hebrew because of Winehouse's Jewish heritage.
"It was emotional, it was happy and it was sad," her rep said. "It was everything really. It was very moving yet quite very humorous at times."
"It was a wonderful tribute to Amy."
When the memorial closed, mourners sang Caroline King's "So Far Away," one of Amy's favorites that she had performed as a duet with Mitch.
"Mitch encouraged everyone to sing and they did," the rep sang. "People sang."
Mourners then headed to the Golders Green crematorium, where the family is following custom by having the 27-year-old's body cremated.
"I think because her grandmother was cremated at the same place, so it was a family tradition to be cremated," the rep said afterward.
Shiva, a Jewish grief custom, starts at 5 p.m. Tuesday, and guests were seen holding postcard-sized invitations with a picture of Amy.
Winehouse's cause of death has still unclear. Her fights with substance abuse are well known, but it is not known if drugs were to blame.
