Playing an instrument is a skill that can be developed at any age.
A group of fifth graders get to hear what their future may hold at Wachter Middle School.
"It's that family that band truly is," says David Augustadt, Band Director, Wachter Middle School.
This family at Wachter Middle School is ready to welcome new members.
Fifth graders are all ears as they listen to Wachter and Bismarck High School band students perform.
"I think it's great just to come down and see the potential that band could really be. It's a wonderful feeling to kind of inspire younger people to be in such and awesome extra-curricular activity," says Emilee Lachenmeier, Senior, BHS.
These aspiring young musicians get to fine tune which instrument they want to play with the help of current and retired music teachers.
"It's good for the kids to see too the longevity of band. That it's not just something you do when you're a kid. That it's something that will take you well past retirement and it's a lifelong endeavor and lifelong skill," says Augustadt.
(Nat: "Good! Big breath now and try for a real high one.")
Amiya Almaraz struck the right note with the tuba.
"He kind of taught me like how to hold it and how much better it is when you're sitting up so the instrument kind of doesn't take over you," says Amiya Almaraz, 5th Grader.
The teachers award the students a rating which helps them pick their instrument.
(Nat: "The trumpet," says Charles Burks, 5th Grader. "What other ones did you try?" "I tried the saxophone," says Burks.)
"It had a pretty nice sound to it," says Charles Burks, 5th Grader.
...Music to every musician's ears.
"It's something that I think everybody should take an opportunity to be involved in or at least experience in their communities because it really is a sense of family and it's a sense of just kind of pride in your school," says Lachenmeier.
It's a family that this group of students are already lined up to be a part of.
Augustadt has been teaching band for 10 years and enjoys seeing his students grow as musicians.
He says some of them have even gone on to attend Burklee College of Music.

What's the worst PF advice you ever got?
Forgo retirement savings. Skip filing your taxes. Cheat a nonprofit. Are these 'advisers' for real?
"Don't pay off your mortgage early -- you'll lose your tax deduction."
"Get married to save money."
"Don't add to your 401k because the stock market is down."
"Buy a top-of-the-line car -- it's an investment!"
"Don't worry about saving for retirement. The government will take care of you."
All these are actual examples of advice given to readers of the Smart Spending message board. A thread called "Silliest advice to save money you've heard" has collected some real doozies: At least two on the thread are illegal, others unethical and some are just dumb.
"MollyMouser" says that a friend told her to dump Internet and pirate a Wi-Fi signal instead. When she jokingly asked whether it would also be OK to steal the neighbor's cable, the friend replied, "Ooohhh, can you do that without getting caught?"
(As if getting caught is the only issue here.)
Board regular "Pepperdoo" contributed a scary tip that she fortunately did not take: "Signing up for a 'guaranteed credit card' with a 39.99% interest rate, with a yearly fee of $250, plus a $49.99 second signer fee, plus a $29.99 startup fee, plus a $19.99 second card fee, all for a $1,000 credit limit."
(Well, it could be worse. My colleague, Karen Datko, recently wrote about "The credit card with a 59.9% interest rate.")
- Bing: Worst credit cards
(I know! You could use it toward the $250 annual fee for that credit card Pepperdoo didn't want!)
A reader named "Eli16" contributed three real pips:
- "I know someone who pays a welfare (recipient) 60 cents on the dollar to use their welfare debit card every month. Illegal."
- "I know someone who gets the SPCA to deliver cat food to their home once a month by telling them they are home-bound and poor (they are neither). Immoral."
- "I know someone who only files for their tax return once every three years because they get a HUGE check back that way. Stupid."
(Good idea.)
And what would a save-money thread be without at least one TP tip? "Dreamy1" was told to use only one square of toilet paper per, um, sitting, "or if it's two-ply, separate it."
(At least they didn't suggest she use both sides of it.)
How about it, readers: What's the worst piece of financial advice anyone ever gave you? Did you follow it, and how badly did it impact the bottom line? Or did you dodge that particular bullet?

Moderated by Tom Sabulis
The building of the Atlanta Streetcar system is moving along, with tracks and poles going in along Auburn and Edgewood Avenues from the Martin Luther King center to downtown. A panel discussion this weekend offered a little insight into how the city will be moving from the construction to operation phase early next year. My second column looks at how Charlotte is fighting skeptics and transit critics with a new ad campaign, which includes a response from a local transportation analyst.
Commenting is open.
By Tom Sabulis
As part of Atlanta's "Elevate" event Saturday, sponsored by the city's Bureau of Cultural Affairs, I moderated a panel that focused on public art and transportation, and how the former can enrich the latter. With panelists representing MARTA, Atlanta Beltline, Atlanta Streetcar, Atlanta Bicycle Coalition and Atlanta Regional Commission, the conversation ranged from the cultural to project updates on a couple of anticipated transportation options coming downtown.
Here are some excerpts from the panel discussion:
Atlanta Streetcar: Tom Weyandt, senior policy adviser for transportation in Mayor Kasim Reed's office, talked about the move to the operations phase once construction wraps up in late January-February.
"At that point, we shift into a period of certification and testing of the system. We'll do driver training and all of the things that lead up to opening day. We're also keenly aware that we have a whole series of educational steps that we have to take. We have to realize that (today's) drivers have never seen streetcars on the streets of Atlanta before. The streetcars themselves are very, very quiet. We are going right through Georgia State University. I don't know how many times I see students with earbuds wandering across the street. There are whole series of steps we're going to have to take.
"We gave you a sneak peak of what the car is going to look like; we think it's actually a pretty cool-looking car. The mayor suggested that for the car design … he wanted to have a car designed that would look like something James Bond would step out of.
"We tried to put a lot of thought into the details of the pedestrian environment and what the stops are going to look like. We tried to be sensitive to the problem that bicyclists face in riding parallel to streetcars, particularly on the eastern side of the route, which is very heavily traveled. We're actually building a bike lane on the opposite side of the street so bicyclists will be able to go in a counter flow to the streetcar and minimize the opportunity for conflict.
"Those are the kinds of physical things that we've tried to take into account so far. We are also thinking about how we create a lively environment around it. I hate to use this term but … we'd sort of like (the streetcar) to be a Disney experience, whether you are a tourist going to the Martin Luther King Center or to the Ferris wheel. We're kicking around ideas about how to enliven that experience, and we're open to ideas at this point."
Atlanta Bicycle Coalition: Executive Director Rebecca Serna updated the upcoming Bike Share program (www.atlantabike.org/bikesharestudy) and talked about safety issues around cycling and the streetcar.
"Bike Share is coming soon to the city of Atlanta, and we're very excited about that. Our feasibility study recommended 500 bikes and 50 stations. The city is considering proposals right now, and it looks very promising. This is the kind if thing that really transforms a city because it puts so many more people out in our public spaces. (It will) create a lot of opportunities for connections with business, with culture, with each other.
"I'm very concerned about the streetcar crossings by bicyclists, just because most people don't know that that is really a dangerous thing. You need to cross them at a 90-degree angle, and we've been working with the city to try and get more signs up and make sure we reinforce that type of thing.
"I'm not too worried about the safety impact of all the Bike Share bikes because when people get on a bike for the fist time in 10 to 15 years, they are extremely cautious. They're paying a lot of attention. Cities like Boston that have done Bike Share were noted for being very unfriendly to bikes. It didn't have any infrastructure (for bikes) when the (programs) started. But it created so much demand for infrastructure that they were able to make really big investments and make the city safer.
"On the whole, Bike Share has been an unmitigated success (in other cities). Washington D.C. hit 1 million trips on their one-year anniversary. It just blew away expectations."
By Tom Sabulis
A recent website column by William Lind, director of the American Conservative Center for Public Transportation, discussed ways transportation agencies can combat the criticisms of "professional" transit critics.
Lind writes: "One of the nice things about the libertarian transit critics, aka the anti-transit troubadours, is that they make the same arguments wherever they go. … Their arguments have changed little over the years, and our replies are still relevant … but cities that want to expand rail transit need to do more than reply when the anti-transit troubadours come to town. … Over and over, I have advised cities facing transit referenda to get out in front of the critics. …Tell the voters, 'Here is what these guys are going to say, and here's why it's wrong' before they get there. … If you wait until they have come and gone, your replies never catch up to the charges, and they can do you a lot of damage."
Lind goes on to cite the "creative and effective way" to pre-empt critics being deployed in Charlotte, N.C.. He writes: "The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) has taken the libertarian's arguments, answered them, and turned the answers into simple graphics people can easily read and understand. Now, it is finding ways to draw attention to the graphics, which so far have just been used online and in flyers. They are easy enough to grasp that someone can do so as a bus goes by. This is exactly the sort of thing other cities that want more rail transit need to be doing. It is an excellent way to pre-empt the critics, to answer their flawed arguments even before they can make them. In politics as in medicine, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Here are some examples used in Charlotte's ad campaign. (To see the graphics and design, go to: http://bit.ly/14KeK9V)
Myth: Transit doesn't solve traffic congestion.
Response: One bus with 60 riders equals 270 square feet; 60 single-occupant cars equal 7,240 square feet.
Myth: Light-rail initial ridership projections are inflated.
Response: Actual light-rail ridership versus projections in the first year of operation: Charlotte +53 percent; Denver +29 percent; Dallas +20 percent; St. Louis +58 percent; Phoenix +90 percent.
Myth: Charlotte's $7 billion transit plan is enough to buy a new car for every household in Mecklenburg County.
Response: $24 billion — actual cost for every household to get a new car (personal vehicles are replaced every 7-10 years). $7 billion — transit plan (includes capital, operating, regular maintenance and replacement costs).
I asked Baruch Feigenbaum, an Atlanta-based transportation analyst at the Reason Foundation libertarian think tank (and who has contributed to these pages), to respond to Lind's charges. His response:
"Transportation should be about mobility, moving people and goods efficiently and cost-effectively. Instead, far too many transit proposals are based upon expensive fantasies of getting people to give up their cars for light-rail systems. Reason Foundation is libertarian and has frequently argued in favor of transit. My recently released mobility plan for Atlanta includes comprehensive, region-wide express and bus rapid transit networks that could be built for a fraction of the cost of light rail. Sprawling Atlanta is different than New York City or Tokyo or Paris. Atlanta's transportation plans need to be based on that reality."

If the state legislature would like to reduce sprawl and promote transit, they could very easily do so by simply adding a $2.00 per gallon tax on fuel and designating that money for transit.

Moving forward the expansion and innovative use of public transit is very important to the Atlanta region. However, it is vital that limited resources be allocated to serve the most people and help them get to where they want to be not where some else wants them to be.
The Streetcar project actually has potential and it will be interesting to see how it performs. It would be neat to see the line extend into the Old Fourth Ward, Inman Park and maybe as far as Little Five Points. However, it does give you pause to consider that this route could easily be run by existing buses and the resources allocated for transit expansion in other areas.

Bret Michaels
- Real Name:
- Bret Michael Sychak
- Date of Birth:
- March 15, 1963
- Hometown:
- Butler, Penn.
- Resides in:
- Los Angeles
Bret Michaels spent the early '80s gigging around Pittsburgh with his band Paris before moving to LA, hooking up with guitarist C.C. DeVille and changing the act's name to Poison. They released their first record, "Look What The Cat Dragged In, which included eternal party anthem "Talk Dirty To Me" in 1986. The 1988 follow-up, Open Up And Say … Ahh!, and hits like "Unskinny Bop," "Something To Believe In" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" grew the rabid fanbase. But music tastes changed and strife between Michaels and DeVille grew, culminating in a fight at the 1991 VMAs and DeVille's subsequent firing, and Poison was dropped by their label in 1998. Michaels, who was diagnosed with diabetes at 6, broke his nose, jaw, several fingers and a few ribs in 1994 car accident. He powered through, opening a film production company with Charlie Sheen to release "Letter From Death Row," which he wrote, co-directed, starred in and scored. His role in a Pamela Anderson sex tape almost became his most infamous, but he sued to stop release. After a Poison reunion and two solo CDs in 2003 and 2005, the father of two girls (Raine and Jorja with ex Kristi Gibson) reinvented himself as a reality star with the 2007 VH1 dating series "Rock Of Love", 2010's "Life As I Know It" and 2013's "Rock My RV". He also won "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2010.

If you want to use a slow cooker
Gently fry your onions, carrots and thyme for 15 mins then tip it with the veg into your slow cooker with 1 litre stock. If you're using a chicken carcass, add it now. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on High until the veg is tender. If you used a carcass remove it now, shredding remaining chicken from bones. Stir back into the soup, or add leftover chicken now, plus peas. Cook for 30 mins more. Remove half the mixture then puree with a stick blender to your liking.
Feta & spinach scones
Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put 280g self-raising flour and a large pinch of salt into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl, combine 100g cubed feta, 3 tbsp sunflower oil, 2 eggs, 280ml Greek yogurt and a small handful baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped. Stir into the flour to form a soft dough, tip onto a floured surface and shape into a thick, flattish round. Brush with milk. Bake for 40-45 mins. Cool, then serve in wedges.
- Heat oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add onions, carrots and thyme, then gently fry for 15 mins. Stir in stock, bring to a boil, cover, then simmer for 10 mins.
- Add the chicken, remove half the mixture, then purée with a stick blender. Tip back into the pan with the rest of the soup, peas and seasoning, then simmer for 5 mins until hot through.
- Mix the yogurt, garlic and lemon juice, swirl into the soup in bowls, then serve.

Comments, questions and tips
I altered the recipe to work with what I had available. Used 1litre of home made stock, a small bunch of chopped celery as well and left out thyme as I didn't have any but used peppercorns and bay leaves instead. I also added some cubes of potato after blending to make more filling and it was delicious and thick. Perfect for a cold evening. I think adding more stock or water like the original recipe would make a more watery soup but it will be just as delicious.
Living on an island where food is shipped in once a week-with limited choice-all meats are frozen.. and the cost of food being extortionate, I HATE to waste food and therefore look for inspiration, hence making this soup. I cooked it in a slow cooker (given electricity is ludicrously priced), and twice the ingredients.... I added frozen lima beans, noodles and parsley.. OH MY! And will add scotch bonnet and cilantro for a change later in the week. A WONDERFUL recipe, THANK YOU!...sorry must have a second portion...
Can't figure that you call it bland, maybe the stock?, I used touch of taste bouillon as I had no home made left and it had a deep chicken flavour, the garlic cream added another dimension, far from bland, I probably used marginally more chicken too as had more than 300g leftover. I am not a soup lover generally (only soup de poisson and lobster bisque normally) but this I would look forward to eating again.
I had jointed two chickens and boiled the two carcasses. I used the stock and the chicken from the carcasses, which the wings to make the soup. It was delicious. I also made the scones. These were a little bland - perhaps I didn't add sufficient salt - but I am using the remains of them as a smoked salmon sandwich which greatly improves the flavour. Thought sundried tomatoes might also help in the original recipe. Will keep experimenting.

These were a little bland - perhaps I didn't add sufficient salt - but I am using the remains of them as a smoked salmon sandwich which greatly improves the flavour. Thought sundried tomatoes might also help in the original recipe. Will keep experimenting.
kept the recipe the same well nearly just missed out garlic cream and added one clove to the carrots etc at the beginning. I really didn't enjoy this soup at all i think the thyme over powered it and i made sure i didn't add too much as i'm not a huge fan of the herb on it's own! Not for me so wont be making it again!
Lovely. I've made it without the thyme and topping. It freezes and reheats really well too.
The first time I did it I cut down the chicken thinking there was too much... I was wrong, you need lots of chicken.
I use 1 litre of stock (2 cubes) as I find it very watery otherwise. I add a small grated potato in the final 10 minutes.
I cut the peas down to somewhere a little over 100g instead of 200g as I found them just too plentiful otherwise.
I would blend mine directly in the pan without separating the mixture but it has a tendency to over blend the chicken chunks, so next time I will respect the recipe.
5 soup ladles full per freezer bag and I've plenty of healthy meals for the week.

Cheat's Chocolate Rum Gateau
This is the busy person's chocolate dessert, which is made in an instant but tastes like you slaved all day. It freezes like a dream – so why not whip up two of them while you're at it?
Serves 8
|1x chocolate loaf cake
|4 tablespoons Green & Black's Organic Hazelnut Chocolate Spread
|2fl oz (55 ml) dark rum
|1 oz (25 g) whole blanched hazelnuts
|15fl oz (425 ml) double cream
|1 level tablespoon icing sugar, sieved
|Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C).
|Need help with conversions?
|There is no list of equipment specified for this recipe.
This recipe is taken from The Delia Collection: Chocolate and has appeared in Sainsbury's Magazine
Begin by toasting the hazelnuts on a baking sheet on the top shelf of the oven for 7 minutes, using a timer. After that, roughly chop them, then remove the paper from the cake, turn it on its side on a board and, using a serrated knife, cut it lengthways into five slices. Then arrange the slices on the board in the order you cut them (as you'll be reassembling them into their original shape a little later).
Next brush rum all over the cake slices, making sure it's all used up. Then, in a bowl, whip the cream with the icing sugar until quite stiff, using an electric hand whisk. Spread four layers of the cake (not the top one) with the chocolate spread, then spread the same four layers with about 4 heaped tablespoons of the cream. After that, layer the cake back together, pressing the top down lightly. Now cover the whole lot with the remaining cream and finally sprinkle with the hazelnuts. Cover and chill for about 3 hours before serving.

Will Facebook really create 1,000 millionaires?
No doubt, a lot of people will cash in on the social networking giant's IPO. But this claim (and others now in circulation) may be more hype than fact.
Written by Robert Frank for The Wall Street Journal
Facebook's IPO has set new records for wealth hyperbole.
It's the "best investment ever!" It's the biggest liquidity event ever! It's about to unleash a new wealth wave in America! It's a boon to wealth managers and Palo Alto realtors. It's going to solve California's budget problems, help fix our education system and feed the poor in Africa.
But the most widely repeated superlative about the Facebook IPO is that it will create "1,000 overnight millionaires."
This is impossible to know, of course. But the phrase "1,000 millionaires" appears to have magical -- if not factual -- significance in Silicon Valley.
Tech IPO watchers might recall Google's IPO in 2004. Press reports at the time said the IPO "created more than 1,000 paper millionaires," including a chef and a masseuse. That statistic was often attributed to "estimates," though it was never clear where those estimates came from.
With Facebook, the "1,000 millionaire" claim first showed up in a Reuters article in December. Reuters partly attributes the number to a former in-house recruiter for Facebook who says "there will be thousands of millionaires." The thousand claim has been picked up around the world and used as gospel in many recent reports about the IPO.
If the 1,000 number is true, then every one of the company's 700 employees as of the end of 2008, as well as hundreds of other employees and investors, have shares worth at least $1 million or more.
Reuters concedes that there is no precise data on how many shares are owned by how many employees. It notes that most of the gains will go to the co-founders and the big venture-capital investors. Reuters said that in 2009, an engineer with 15 years' experience hired by Facebook could get options to buy 65,000 shares at $6 a share. After the 5-1 stock split in 2010, those shares would be worth $12 million at the expected valuation of $40 a share.
That was 2009, of course. And it was for a 15-year engineer. Press reports say Facebook has become far more stingy with stock in recent years. Managers hired last year were getting as little as 2,000 shares -- giving them paper wealth of a measly $80,000.
What's more, many of the paper millionaires won't be able to do anything with that paper wealth until the middle of next year, when they can actually sell the stock. Until then, it's just paper. And Facebook's share price may or may not be worth $40 by the middle of 2013 (ask the Groupon guys).
Facebook will no doubt create a large amount of wealth for a single company. Employee-wise, it's a small company. And its IPO is far from a "wave of wealth." Even if it creates 3,000 new millionaires, those new millionaires would represent less than 0.5% of the millionaires in California alone.
More like a splash than a "wave."

1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Heavy Cigarette Use (Table 8.6)
Marked differences in the prevalence of heavy smoking were observed according to age group, race/ethnicity, adult education, and adult employment status. In particular, adults were about five to seven times more likely than youths aged 12 to 17 to be heavy smokers. Moreover, compared with the estimates of current smoking in Table 8.3, only about 1 in 10 adolescents who were current smokers also were heavy smokers. In comparison, more than one in four young adult current smokers were heavy smokers, and among current smokers aged 35 or older, more than half were heavy smokers.
Whites were more than twice as likely as blacks to be heavy smokers (15% vs. 7%, respectively), even though the rates of current smoking among whites and blacks aged 12 or older did not differ significantly. In addition, whites were more than three times as likely as Hispanics to be heavy smokers. Blacks also were significantly more likely than Hispanics to be heavy smokers. Compared with estimates of current smoking inTable 8.3, nearly half of whites who were current smokers were heavy smokers, about one-fourth of black current smokers were heavy smokers, and only about one in six Hispanic current smokers were heavy smokers.
The inverse relationship between education (among those aged 18 or older) and any current smoking also held for education and heavy smoking. However, only 17% of college graduates had smoked cigarettes in the past month. In comparison, 8% of college graduates were heavy smokers. Thus, nearly half of the college graduates who were current smokers also were heavy smokers. This proportion of heavy smokers among college graduates who were current smokers was comparable to the proportions of heavy smokers among current smokers who had a high school education or less. About 39% of current smokers with some college education were heavy smokers.
As was the case with any smoking in the past month, unemployed adults had a significantly higher rate of heavy smoking compared with adults in the other employment status groups. Adults who were employed full-time also had a significantly higher rate of heavy smoking compared with adults who were employed part-time or adults in the "other" employment category. However, nearly half (47%) of full-time employed adults who were current smokers also were heavy smokers, a rate that was comparable to those among unemployed current smokers and current smokers in the "other" employment category. In comparison, heavy smokers comprised about 36% of current smokers in the part-time employed group.
20 The estimates for "less than a pack a day" and "a pack or more a day" in Table 8.6 differ from the estimated prevalence of past month cigarette use in Table 8.3 because of missing data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day in the past month. Past month smokers were excluded from the analysis in Table 8.6 if they did not report the number of cigarettes they smoked per day in the past 30 days.

Same here. I got the Wrath client installed+patched and my account upgraded to Wrath status last night. But none of the features are enabled yet. Can't gain exp at 70, can't make a DK, can't go to Northrend. I suspect there will be a server reboot/downtime to enable the boats/zeps to NR and maybe a small patch to enable client-side stuff such as DK creation.

Advertising Week, the world's top annual gathering of marketing and communications professionals, is upon us again. Taking place at multiple venues across The Big Apple, Advertising Week's mission is "to galvanize the industry by creating an entertaining, enlightening and engaging platform for disparate parts of the business." With so many social media savvy folks involved, there has been plenty of online conversation surrounding the week-long event.
Let's take a quick look at the social conversation surrounding advertising's big week with a focus on the people and agencies getting the most mentions.
Total Volume
Altogether, between Midnight on October 1 and early morning on October 4, Advertising Week has generated over 23,100 total social media mentions.
Day One
Monday generated 8,399 posts with a peak at 4pm EST. Using Salesforce Marketing Cloud Insights to spot the most mentioned Twitter usernames for the day – and removing the obvious leader (@AdvertisingWeek) from the equation – we see Lauren Crampsie, CMO of Ogilvy & Mather North America, leading the way.
Other top names on day one include Mashable, top agency handle R/GA, Ogilvy & Mather's corporate handle, Google, Gary Vaynerchuk, AOL's "ViC", Ogilvy's Gemma Craven, and Baratunde Thurston.
Day Two
Tuesday saw a slight dip in volume with 7,134 posts with a peak time at 11am EST. Day two's most mentioned user is Twitter's own Joel Lunenfeld.
Other names getting day two traction include digital agency iCrossing, Mondelēz International's B. Bonin Bough, the official handle of Sprint, Chris Hardwick of Nerdist, online retail giant Amazon, AOL's "Digital Prophet" David Shing, Ad Week, hip hop artist Busta Rhymes who performed during the event, and Fast Company cracks the top ten for the second day in a row.
Day Three
Another dip in total volume with 6,656 posts on October 3. Day Three's top mentioned Twitter handles are led by the Twitter team with Adam Bain, President of Revenue for the social network, top of the heap.
Joel Lunenfeld is right behind Bain in second place followed by Grammy winning singer/songwriter Melanie Fiona. Other top names include Amazon and Fast Company again, Twitter itself, Tumblr, the Huffington Post, Socialistic Founder and CCO Colleen DeCourcy, and Global Head of Digital for PepsiCo, Shiv Singh.
Popular Hashtags
Eliminating the obvious (#AWIX, #adweek, #advertisingweek), Insights offers us the top ten most frequently used hashtags in conjunction with Advertising Week chatter.
AOL's #Brandco hashtag is tops followed by #mpomma.
Advertising Week Demographics
Using Insights to look at gender, we see females leading the conversation ever so slightly with 53% of posts.
In terms of age, Advertising Week discussions are driven most by the 25-34 year old demographic.

Police chief weighs benefits of body-worn cameras
One chief is deciding if video will bring peace between police and civilians, while some officers oppose 'Big Brother' following them around

Shower Enclosures
Out of stock

If you are looking for an easy solution to upgrade your bathroom but are trying to avoid the expensive price tag, then you should consider installing a complete shower enclosure. Shower enclosures are easy to install and are made with durable materials. In fact, for many designers, a simple shower enclosure can add style to rooms with independent showers.
Shower enclosures are ideal for bathroom of any size, though many homeowners are installing these in smaller ones. Show enclosures allow you to complete your additional shower (without the bathtub) for your guest bathroom or even to expand your existing master bathroom. Regardless of your choice, you will enjoy the great elegance that a shower enclosure can bring to your bathroom.
Many remodeling experts usually look for ways to improve the experience in large bathrooms and recommend homeowners to install additional showers. And so this has become a trend that homebuyers always appreciate at the moment of shopping for a new house.
Made with high-quality tempered glass, these enclosures are made to last. For example, families with children will find these enclosures perfect for their homes, as the thick glass used for these enclosures can withstand the tests of time. If you are looking to keep a consistent look in your bathroom, then a shower enclosure will be your best friend, as these come with nicely finished fixtures. For example, if your bathroom has chrome finished accessories, some of our chrome-finished shower enclosures will match perfectly with them.
Shower enclosures are ideal for showers that are installed in the corner of a room, as these are made with the traditional D-shaped doors. Other styles range from rectangular to neo-angle and all of them are made with high-grade, anodized aluminum, which is ideal for the common humid conditions of a bathroom. Another great attribute of these shower enclosures is the door, which slides comfortably to open and close. This feature alone is part of an interesting trend in the bathroom remodeling industry as many homeowners prefer sliding doors for the bathroom showers.
Out bathroom shower enclosures are also reversible –they can be installed to open to the left or to the right– allowing you to maximize your space. This also allows homeowners to make additions to their bathrooms without having to change the location of their current furniture. Another great feature that set our enclosures apart from other brands is that they are easy to install. In fact, we include all of the necessary installation parts so that you don't waste your savings by hiring others to do it for you.
The next time you walk into your bathroom and wonder on the new things you can add to it to make it even more practical, consider an independent shower with one of our gorgeous and modern show enclosures.

The ARDC Working Group members are either elected by their community as its leaders or are active and influential community members. The Working Group recognizes that if united as one voice, the various refugee communities can strengthen their influence to effect policy change. The body serves as a conduit between the ARDC and the communities so that we understand events as they are developing on the ground and the communities can help us formulate an appropriate response. Working Group members also volunteer in all aspects of our projects and frequently assist with translation. The Working Group is also responsible for arranging activities to raise public awareness at special events such as on International Refugee Day and other activities as part of our Giving Back with Love project.

Highlanders 30 Blues 27
Hard to stop ... Mike Delaney's boot was the all important difference between the two sides. Photo: Getty Images
The Highlanders timed their run to perfection to close out a 30-27 win over the Blues in a see-sawing Super Rugby match at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on Friday.
The under-siege Blues, with just one win from seven matches, secured a near-perfect start with a try in the first five minutes.

Ma'a Nonu pounced on a Highlanders error behind the scrum, the Blues' quick recycling and support play ending with a try to Hadleigh Parkes in the corner.
The Highlanders didn't take long to respond, a well-worked set piece from the scrum unleashing Hosea Gear on a blistering midfield burst which was clinically finished by centre Shaun Treeby out wide.
With replacement No.10 Mike Delany in accurate kicking form, the Highlanders added a couple of penalties to lead 13-5 after 22 minutes.
But the Blues worked hard to counter the momentum shift, based on some superb scrummaging from the uncompromising front row of Tony Woodcock, Tom McCartney and Charlie Faumuina.
With more discipline and accuracy than they've shown recently, the Blues hauled the Highlanders back as five-eighth Gareth Anscombe slotted three successive penalties.
Another Delany penalty gave the Highlanders a narrow 16-14 lead at halftime but, with the restart, the procession of penalties continued.
Rene Ranger gave the Blues some breathing space when a perfectly-timed pop pass from replacement halfback Piri Weepu allowed him to barge through from close range for a five-pointer to put the Blues in front 27-22.
The Highlanders closed with yet another penalty to trail 27-25 at the 60-minute mark.
But then a defensive blunder between Ranger and Benson Stanley allowed Kurt Baker to touch down and the home team stole back the lead 30-27 with 12 minutes remaining.
The Blues dug deep in the closing minutes, forcing a series of scrums in an ultimately futile bid to snatch a late win.
HIGHLANDERS 30 (Kurt Baker, Shaun Treeby tries Michael Delany con 6 pens) bt BLUES 27 (Hadleigh Parkes, Rene Ranger tries Gareth Anscombe con 5 pens) at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Referee: Bryce Lawrence.

All About Almonds…
I've mentioned that almonds are one of California's biggest crops. Just so you know, here's some more info that supports the fact that the beekeeping industry should be paying more attention to this tree.
Last year there were 740,000 bearing acres of almonds, but more importantly, there were 85,000 acres of non-bearing acres. That translates to 1,480,000 colonies needed last year, and another 170,000 needed in a couple of years from now. Total…at least, at least mind you (because I don't have the figures yet for how many acres are being planted this year) 1,650,000 colonies needed to pollinate this crop. That's between 65 – 70% of all the commercial colonies in the U.S. Just so you know.
This year there will be 1,950,000,000 pounds of almonds produced at about $2.00 a pound… that's $3.9 billion farm gate value. That comes to about $3,836 per acre…and the cost of pollination is right about $150 per acre…about 4% of the take home pay. California dominates almond production on a global scale, producing 80.1% of all the almonds produced. Interestingly, per capita consumption of almonds in this country is greater than honey…honey is just a tad over a pound…almonds 1.57 pounds per person, per year.
Kern County, where Bakersfield is located, is the largest almond producing county in the state, and produces the most almonds…but receives the least amount of almond country rain in a year…on average 5.5 inches. They produce 403.5 million pounds of almonds there each year…followed by Fresno country at 344.5 million pounds. Everybody else pales in comparison.
Almond planting is slowing however. Water is a key ingredient in that decision, but so is available land…or land that's good for almonds that is. The market certainly isn't slowing, and demand continues to outpace supply. Almond growers are in a fine spot…even though production costs continue to climb, the price they can sell them for climbs more…what a sweet place to be.
Almond growers, like our honey packers, have a marketing order…the California Almond Board. Membership is mandatory, but they do great things with their money. The cost of doing business is that every grower pays $0.03/lb to the Board for its operation. Last year that came to about $52 million for marketing. 39% of that is spent on North American marketing, 31% on international marketing, 17% on administration, 10% on research, 2% on industry relations and 1% on regulatory affairs. Of the research dollars spent, fully 10% is spent on pollination…which, out of $52 million is a chunk of change.

Future doctors at the University of Vermont got big news Friday in Burlington.It's called "match day" -- when medical students find out where they will spend their residencies. A group of 100 students cheered one another as they opened envelopes with the details about where they will head next. Jeff McLaren of Essex Junction is heading to the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "Now I'm going to plan on celebrating tonight. I am going to call my mom as soon as I am done with this interview and tell her because I know she is waiting and then get ready to move to Boston to start the next stage of my life -- which I am really excited about," he said.Tens of thousands of medical students participate in match day ceremonies at schools across the country. The milestone for the nation's future doctors was founded more than 60 years ago in order to provide a uniform date for the big news.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

The Genius of Invention, Original Series Episode 3 of 4
Duration: 1 hour
Nothing has shrunk the globe more than our extraordinary ability to talk to one another across the oceans and continents. Episode three of The Genius of Invention reveals the fascinating chain of events that made such every-day miracles possible. It tells the story of the handful of extraordinary inventors and inventions who helped build the modern world by harnessing electricity and electromagnetism to enable us to send instant messages across vast distances.
Coming from the BT National Network Control Centre in Shropshire, Michael Mosley and academics, Prof Mark Miodownik and Dr Cassie Newland tell the amazing story of three more of the greatest and most transformative inventions of all time; the electric telegraph, the telephone and wireless communication.
Our experts explain how these inventions came about by sparks of inventive genius and steady incremental improvements. They separate myth from reality in the lives of the great inventors and celebrate some of the most remarkable stories in British history.

Women's Gymnastics
Spartans Host Iowa At Friday's `Flip For A Cure' Meet
Feb. 6, 2014
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State gymnastics team returns home to host Iowa at Jenison Field House on Friday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. The Spartans will look for their first victory of the season and against Big Ten competition. The meet will also be the Eighth Annual Jan Howard Breast Cancer Awareness Meet. Attendees who wear pink will receive free admission to the meet and a live web stream will be offered through Spartan All-Access.
"We have had a great week of practice that I believe has built the team's confidence so I expect to see a focused, energized team ready to capture their first win," said head coach Kathie Klages.
Jan Howard `Flip For A Cure' Breast Cancer Awareness Meet
"We started the Breast Cancer Awareness Meet because the NCAA gymnastics coaches wanted to support a Georgia gymnast that was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 20," Klages said. "Many collegiate programs host a "pink" meet to raise awareness and funds for the cancer society.
"The meet began over 10 years ago, but I decided to name it the Jan Howard Memorial Breast Cancer Meet to honor a very special lady. Jan was the mother of Angela Howard Montie, a gymnast that I coached in club gymnastics and then again throughout her collegiate career. Jan was very special to me and I wanted to honor her memory and bring some personalized attention to this dreaded disease. Jan never liked to be in the limelight, but she certainly enjoyed helping others. This allows her legacy to continue to help others even though she is no longer with us.
All attendees are encouraged to wear pink for free admittance. Autographs will be available after the meet by the Spartan gymnasts.
Last Time Out
In the all-around competition, Alina Cartwright totaled an all-around score of 39.275 to finish second overall. She tied her career-best score of 9.850 to lead the Spartans on the balance beam.
MSU In the Rankings
Individually, Alina Cartwright is tied for 15th in the nation with her all-around average score of 39.292 and her average score of 9.892 on the vault is ranked 17th. In the conference, her vault score is the second-best average score this season and she is No. 3 overall in the all-around rankings.
The Ins and Outs of Iowa
"Iowa's team is similar to ours in the sense that we both have had good meets and very rough meets so far this season," said Klages. "I expect coach Libby to have her team ready to perform and I expect a very competitive meet. I am looking forward to the challenge.
Iowa is led by all-arounders sophomore Alie Glover and junior Sydney Hoerr, both 2014 Big Ten Gymnasts to Watch.
