Agency is neglecting transparency, critic says
"FCC is giving us the bells and whistles but what we really need is to get the data in accessible formats," said Berin Michael Szoka, a senior fellow at the Progress and Freedom Foundation,
Szoka said the new projects are misplaced priorities because FCC's existing public comment system, the Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), is "antiquated" and "horrendous," with limited capabilities. The system contains more than 10,000 comments on the commission's proposals for broadband networks, but it is difficult to search, Szoka said. Users cannot use the system to search for specific text in the comments, greatly limited the system's usefulness, he said.
However, other transparency advocates don't fault the FCC for the new projects. "There is no reason to wait to start a Twitter account or a blog," said Art Brodsky, a spokesman at Public Knowledge. "I think they recognized that and brought it up quickly. It is a good first step for them to modernize their face to the public."
Public Knowledge is a nonprofit group that is "working to defend your rights in the emerging digital culture," according to its Web site.
Public Knowledge is a nonprofit group that is "working to defend your rights in the emerging digital culture," according to its Web site.
Mark Wigfield, an FCC spokesman, said the comments system needs substantial improvement. However, he defended the new blog and broadband Web dialogue initiatives as having an immediate short-term benefit. "This is just providing another avenue and hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, the ECFS will be easier to use and easier to search," he said.
FCC isn't alone in needing to consider the value of introducing new technologies instead of revitalizing existing systems. The same dilemma is occurring with the federal efforts to launch the new Recovery.gov Web site to track spending under the economic stimulus law. Meanwhile, an existing federal spending site, USAspending.gov, needs improvements, said Patrice McDermott, director of OpentheGovernment.org. Other agencies are also experimenting with social media.
"There is a tension between favoring the new media versus the hard slog of getting the older media to be useful for the public," McDermott said.

Ahead 2-0, Evergreen loses to Warner Pacific 3-2
October 25, 2002
by James J. Portune
Olympia, WA - History was on the line tonight as the Warner Pacific Knights brought their eight player team to Evergreen State College to play the Geoducks.
In only its second year of existence the Evergreen's women's volleyball team was looking to equal last years record of five wins. Against the very same team that gave them their record setting fifth win last season.
After winning the first game, 30-28, and then the second, 32-30, it look as though Evergreen (4-18, 2-11 CCC) would achieve their goal. What the gods were not saying was that it was not to be, as Warner Pacific (7-12, 4-10 CCC) emerged a 3-2 victory (28-30, 30-32, 30-21, 30-18, 15-9).
The combination of increased effort by Warner Pacific and mental relaxing by Evergreen proved to be a fatal combination. As the Knights won game three handily, 30-21, and rode the momentum to a 30-18 game four victory.
"We got cocky after the first two games," said Head Coach Bill Lash. "We thought all we had to do was step on the floor in game 3 and we would win."
In the fifth and final game, an early 4-0 lead by the Knights proved too big of a hole for the Geoducks to climb out of, as Warner Pacific went on to win their third consecutive and fifth game 15-8.
"Tonight we didn't come out to battle," added Lash, "we just came to play." Three players from each team, six players in all, recorded double digit kills.
Jo'lene Bogle lead Warner Pacific with 16 kills, Allison Tingey earned 15 and Kaylee Stone had 11. Overall the Knights recorded 65 kills on the night.
Senior Courtney Brandon (Pomeroy, Wa/Pomeroy H.S.) and junior Stephanie Short (Spokane, Wa/Shadle Park H.S.) both lead the Geoducks with 12 kills apiece. Freshman Kristen Bartley (Lubbock, Tx/Monterey H.S.) followed with 11 floor pounders. As a team, the Geoducks successfully turned 160 attacks into 49 kills.
"We did not expect to be down 2-0," said Warner Pacific Head Coach Tom Russell. "But the girls understood that if we lost tonight it may very well knock us out of the playoffs."
Behind the service line Warner Pacific's Kaylee Stone lead all players with five service aces.
Remarkable, Evergreen dominated on the front line, registering 14 blocks to Warner Pacific's 2.
Saturday night Cascade College will be in town to take on the Geoducks at 7:00 p.m. in the College Recreation Center.

A meat-processing plant in Hanford, California is recalling nearly 90-thousand pounds of ground beef meant for the National School Lunch Program, that's because it may contain small pieces of plastic.
The beef, in 40 pound cases, was shipped to distribution centers in several states. The Central Valley Meat Company and the U.S. Department of Agriculture say there are no reports of anyone getting sick from the beef.

The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Turkey on 13 November 1994. Turkey presently has 14 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 184,487 hectares.
site; date of designation; region, province, state; surface area; coordinates
site; date de désignation; région, province, état; superficie; coordonnées
sitios; fecha de designación; región, provincia, estado; área; coordenadas
Akyatan Lagoon. 15/04/98; Adana; 14,700 ha; 36º37'N 035º16'E. Cultural and Natural Asset; Wildlife Protection Area. A coastal lagoon surrounded by brackish marshes, sandy shores, freshwater pools, wet meadows, and dunes. Among the dunes are pits extending below sea level that fill with freshwater in the rainy season. The site provides habitat for several globally threatened species, including breeding marine turtles, and regularly supports internationally important numbers of numerous species of migrating, wintering and breeding waterbirds. Human activities include agriculture, scientific research, and an important fishery. The area has high historical and archaeological value. Ramsar site no. 943. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Gediz Delta. 15/04/98; Izmir Gulf; 14,900 ha; 38º30'N 026º55'E. Cultural and Natural Asset; Wildlife Protection Area. An extensive coastal wetland with bays, salt and freshwater marshes, large saltpans, and four highly saline lagoons located at the mouth of the Gediz River near Izmir. The site supports dry grasslands, arable land, and some woodlands. The globally threatened pelican Pelecanus crispus breeds at the site. An important area for breeding, feeding, wintering, and sheltering internationally important numbers of numerous species of waterbirds. Human activities include fishing, agriculture, cattle grazing, and the largest salt production centre in the country. A number of ancient cities, such as Leukai and Larissa, are found there. The Gediz River is of vital importance for agriculture in the region, but is becoming significantly polluted. Ramsar site no. 945. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Göksu Delta. 13/07/94; Mersin; 15,000 ha; 36º18'N 033º58'E. Cultural and Natural Asset; Specially Protected Area, Wildlife Reserve. An important wetland delta located on a bird migration route. Sands and saline steppe cover large areas. The site supports reedbeds, marshes, swamps, meadows and, in the surrounding area, agricultural fields. It is a refuge for internationally important numbers of wintering ducks. Up to 327 bird species occur, including the globally endangered Phalacrocorax pygmeus and Pelecanus crispus. Two species of endangered marine turtles nest in the area. Reptiles and amphibians (34 species) form a primary link in the food chain of waterbirds. Human activities include fishing, tourism, and conservation education. Remains of cities from Neolithic times through many subsequent civilizations are found there, including nearby Silike Castle and ancient Seleucia. Non-point agricultural pollution and proposed dams present potential threats. Ramsar site no. 657. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Kizilirmak Delta (Kizilirmak Deltasi). 15/04/98; Samsum; 21,700 ha; 41º40'N 036º05'E. Cultural and Natural Asset; Permanent Wildlife Reserve. The site includes dunes, beaches, shallow lakes, seasonal marshes, and wooded areas. Dominant vegetation includes vast reedbeds and seasonally flooded forest. Numerous species of waterbirds breed at the site, several of which are globally threatened. Over 92,000 waterbirds of various species winter at the site. Human activities include cattle grazing, reed cutting, fishing, and agriculture. In recent years, eutrophication, deforestation, illegal contructions, and coastal erosion have become increasingly problematic. Ramsar site no. 942. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Kizören Obrouk. 02/05/06; Konya; 127 ha; 38°20'N 033°20'E. Archaeological restricted area. A good example of an Anatolian "obrouk", a deep freshwater (groundwater) lake formed in a karstic depression. Situated on a huge, arid steppic plain, the site is extremely important as the region's only freshwater source. The dominant vegetation cover is formed by steppic plants, resistant to arid conditions and surviving in soil that is calcium carbonate dominant. Nine globally threatened plant species are present. The area around the lake, within the Ramsar site, is rich in archeological remains, as there is a Silk Road caravansary from Byzantine times and a mosque and several houses from the Seljuk era. Though population density is low, a prolonged dry period (eight years as of 2005) has put pressure on the groundwater level through over-use by farmers. Ramsar site no. 1620.Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Lake Burdur. 13/07/94; Burdur, Isparta; 24,800 ha; 37º44'N 030º11'E. Wild Life Protection Area. A tectonic lake with no outlet, one of the deepest lakes in Turkey. The site includes a coastal plain delta and salt marshes. Numerous species of waterbirds stage, winter or breed in the area. Some 300,000 wintering waterbirds have been record, including70% of the world population of the threatened species Oxyura leucocephala. A rich reptile community, various amphibians, and several species of mammals are supported in the site, though the lake water itself contains arsenic which prevents the growth of aquatic life. Human activities consist of birdwatching. An archaeological important area with finds dating from numerous ancient civilizations. Pollution from sewage is seen as a potentila threat. Ramsar site no. 658. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Lake Kus (Manyas). 13/07/94; Balikesir; 20,400 ha; 40º12'N 028º00'E. Cultural and Natural Asset; National Park, Permanent Wildlife Reserve. A turbid nutrient-rich lake fed by streams and groundwater, subject to seasonal fluctuations in level. The site includes small deltas, extensive marshes supporting reeds and rushes, and tree-lined river banks. The lake, on a migratory waterbird route, supports a rich plant community and provides important feeding grounds for birds. The site holds significant breeding populations of various species of waterbirds, several of which are threatened, and is important for wintering, migrating, and roosting birds. The lake supports 23 fish species and various species of reptiles and amphibians. Human activities include an important commercial fishery for village cooperatives and scientific and educational programmes. The lake is an important water source for agriculture and industry. Recent declines in water levels due to global warming and upstream dams are seen as potentiall threats. Ramsar site no. 660. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Lake Kuyucuk (Kuyucuk Gölü). 28/08/09; Kars; 416 ha; 40°45'N 043°27'E. Wildlife Reserve. One of the most important wetlands of Kars province in northeastern Turkey, the freshwater stream- and spring-fed lake is surrounded by treeless steppe and sparse Phragmites reed patches. This area may be typical of what much of the Anatolian Steppe grassland-wetland community used to consist of before widespread degradation of its water bodies over the past several hundred years. Located along the African-Eurasian migration flyways, the lake is a crucial stop-over and breeding site for many bird species, including ten globally threatened. Every fall the site hosts up to 30,000 Ruddy Shelducks. The lake is currently the only source of water for the three surrounding villages. Human activities around the lake include cereal production and livestock grazing. The area is attractive for birdwatching and nature tourism; in 2009 it received the European Destination of Excellence award. Threats are seen from over-grazing (especially in reed beds that provide important habitats for birds), disturbance for birds caused by cattle, and pollution from surrounding villages and livestock farming. Ramsar site no. 1890. Most recent RIS information: 2009.
Lake Seyfe (Seyfe Gölü). 13/07/94; Kirsehir; 10,700 ha; 39º12'N 034º25'E. Nature Conservation Zone. A saline average-nutrient lake, fed by a stream and springs. Most the lake shores are muddy and flat, with freshwater marshy fields as well, reedbeds, and areas of saline steppe. The lake is an important staging area for internationally important numbers of waterbirds, with over 100,000 birds recorded in some years, and it provides crucial feeding habitat for breeding birds. Only birdwatching is permitted at the lake, but village farming and state-sponsored agriculture and pasturage occur nearby. There is a rich archaeological heritage from the Bronze Age onwards. Ramsar site no. 659. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Lake Uluabat. 15/04/98; Bursa; 19,900 ha; 40º10'N 028º35'E. A large nutrient-rich lake that includes four islands. Vast reedbeds with clusters of trees occur. Over 400,000 waterbirds, including the globally-threatened Pelecanus crispus winter at the site, and internationally important numbers of several species of waterbirds occur regularly. Uluabat is one of Turkey's richest wetlands in terms of aquatic plants. Human activities include fishing and agriculture. The area is of archaeological importance dating from 1200 B.C. onwards. Small-scale fishing by five local cooperatives is carried out in the lake, and the surrounding area is one of the most productive agricultural and stock-breeding areas in Turkey. Eutrophication may pose a serious threat in future. Ramsar site no. 944. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Meke Maar. 21/07/05; Konya; 202 ha; 37°41'N 033°38'E; Natural Monument. A caldera and crater lake in a volcanic mass with typically acidic water that permits no aquatic life in or near it - when precipitation is high, however, and the water somewhat neutralized, some waterfowl visitors can be seen. In the surrounding area, however, are found nine globally threatened plant species. The lake is known as "Anatolia's eye" as from the air it resembles the ceramic blue beads, called "eyes", that are thought to bring good luck; this, along with supposed curative properties of the caldera lake water, bring a number of visitors and suggest a significant potential for ecotourism. Over-extraction of groundwater during the current dry period presents a threat. Ramsar site no. 1618.Most recent RIS information: 2006.
Nemrut Caldera (Nemrut Kalderasi). 17/04/2013; Bitlis; 4,589 ha; 38°37'10"N 042°13'54"E. Nature Monument. The caldera of the Nemrut volcano, located on the western shore of Lake Van in the eastern part of Turkey (Eastern Anatolia), is one of the most important wetlands of Bitlis province and is part of an active stratovolcano which has a unique structural morphology in Turkey. The eastern half of the caldera is filled by pyroclastic deposits related to maar-like explosion craters, lava domes and flows. The western half is filled by a freshwater lake and a small lake with hot springs, in addition to a number of small temporal lakes. The largest lake, Lake Nemrut, has a half-moon shape, an average depth of 100 meters, and colorless, odorless and drinkable water. There are rich plant communities in the caldera and Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca used to breed in Nemrut in 1989. The site is government-owned, but some livestock grazing takes place. The main activities are recreation and tourism, and there is a winter sports and ski centre in the surrounding area. The main ecological threat to the site is overgrazing. Ramsar Site no. 2145. Most recent RIS information: 2013.
Sultan Marshes. 13/07/94; Kayseri; 17,200 ha; 38º20'N 035º17'E. Natural Park; Wildlife Conservation Area. Part of an extensive wetland complex on the Develi plain, the site includes a saline lake, salt steppe, nutrient-rich freshwater marshes, wet meadows, small islands, and lakes. Freshwater areas support reeds and rushes, and halophytic plants occur in the saltwater ecosystem. Situated in a closed basin and surrounded by hills and mountains, the area is an important breeding and wintering site for various species of endangered or globally threatened waterbirds. Human activities include reed cutting, tourism, research, and livestock grazing. Threats are seen from illegal hunting, agricultural pollution, and over-grazing leading to desiccation of the surrounding area. Ramsar site no. 661. Most recent RIS information: 2008.
Yumurtalik Lagoons. 21/07/05; Adana; 19,853 ha; 36°42'N 035°38'E. Nature Conservation Site. Comprises the whole of the alluvial delta formed by several rivers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, with a broad array of freshwater and coastal habitat types which support sand dune vegetation, salt marsh vegetation, stream bank vegetation, and ruderal vegetation of roadsides and field margins. The threatened sea turtles Caretta caretta and Chelonia mydas are supported, and the site is one of the key points where migratory birds on the Palaearctic-Africa route meet, using the site as both a stopover and a wintering site. It is also a key area for fish reproduction. The main uses of the area are irrigation agriculture, commercial and artisanal fishing, and recreation, as it is close to the city of Adana along a beautiful and uncrowded coast. Ramsar site no. 1619. Most recent RIS information: 2006.

The Official Website of the Louisiana Department of Revenue
BATON ROUGE - As the deadline for filing individual income tax returns approaches, Louisiana Department of Revenue Secretary Brett Crawford is urging taxpayers to file electronically in order to avoid delays of up to eight weeks in receiving a refund.
"If a taxpayer files electronically, they will get their refund in 6-8 days," Crawford states. "If they file a paper return, they can expect a delay of 6-8 weeks before receiving their refund. The method of filing chosen by the taxpayer can mean a difference of up to seven weeks."
Crawford points out that the two weeks prior to the April 17 federal filing deadline is an enormous peak in the filing of state income tax returns. "Even though May 15 is the deadline for filing a state return, we receive a tremendous number of returns in early April because most taxpayers file their state return at the same time as the federal return."
Besides electronic filing, Crawford says that other alternative methods of filing will also speed refunds. These include TeleFile and On-Line filing. TeleFile allows a taxpayer to file their return by using a touch-tone telephone. Crawford points out that taxpayers can only TeleFile if they were pre-qualified by the Department of Revenue and mailed a special TeleFile booklet that includes a Personal Identification Number (PIN). On average, TeleFile takes only nine minutes and refunds are received in 6-8 days.
Through On-Line filing, taxpayers can file their return from a personal computer using Department-approved commercial software. Refunds received through this filing method also average 6-8 days, Crawford says.
"This year, if taxpayers want their refund up to seven weeks sooner," Crawford says, "alternative filing is the way to go. Our goal is to move more and more towards a paperless environment. We may never totally eliminate paper filing of individual income tax, but the closer we can get to that goal, the better off both the taxpayer and the state will be."

Stool ova and parasites exam is a laboratory test to determine if a stool sample contains parasites or eggs (ova) that are associated with intestinal infections.
A stool sample is needed. There are many ways to collect the sample. You can catch the stool on plastic wrap that is loosely placed over the toilet bowl and held in place by the toilet seat. Then, put the sample in a clean container.
One test kit supplies a special toilet tissue that you use to collect the sample. You then put the sample in a clean container.
To collect a sample from a child in diapers, line the diaper with plastic wrap. If the plastic wrap is positioned properly, you can keep the stool separate from urine, thus ensuring a better sample.
Return the sample to your health care provider's office or laboratory as directed. At the lab, a small smear of stool is placed on a microscope slide and examined.
The laboratory test does not involve you. There is no discomfort.
Your health care provider may order this test if you have signs of parasites, diarrhea that does not go away, or other intestinal symptoms.
There are no parasites or eggs in the stool sample.
Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal result means parasites or eggs are present in the stool. This is a sign of a parasitic infection. Such infections include:
There are no risks.

More Trouble Than It Is Worth
By MerryChristmas
from nashville, tn
This sink strainer does an excellent job, but is very difficult to clean, and I spent more time trying to clean it than I did using it. I have gone back to the strainer I was using before I bought this one.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Soldiers' Slang
The unique experience of front line soldiers helped to create an exclusive dialect or slang. They used this to speak, sing, or communicate to one another and, sometimes, to differentiatethemselves from those who had not undergone the trench experience.Soldiers' slang drew upon pre-war cultural references, old army terms, bastardized French, and new words created in the trenches.
Slang served a variety of purposes. It expressed contempt for one's superiors or civilians; indicated membership in a particular group; negated the horrors of the war by trivializing the terrifying.
For example, applying innocuous language helped to trivialize the ferocity of the weapons and the death they brought. German grenades became "potato mashers" and some smaller-calibre shells were "whiz bangs."

The metallurgical coal industry is apparently the place to be, with prices seemingly poised to head higher and mining companies expanding and acquiring interests in the sector.
Houston-based Natural Resource Partners LP, for example, said it will pay $27.2 million for about 17.5 million tons of high-quality low-volatility metallurgical coal reserves in Wyoming and McDowell counties in West Virginia. Natural Resource Partners said the purchase will generate coal royalty revenue of about $750,000 in the fourth quarter of this year.

My new song, 'Different Kind of Hero'–why??Posted by Jeffrey Biegel in Uncategorized
Writing choral music for young choruses has become an important part of my life.In times when our young people have visions of their recent past in history, as well as thoughts of the future, 'A Different Kind of Hero' is a feel-good song that reminds everyone that everyday people are heroes in their own special way. It is arranged for 3 parts mixed voices and piano, and is currently available through Helene Blue Musique Ltd., pending publication (or by email to me at firstname.lastname@example.com).
For some unknown reason, I feel very inclined to do my best writing in September of each year–no clue why–it just happens–perhaps because the children are back at school, and I feel the urge to write music for them to sing!!

"My Get-Slim Advice"
Before: 180 Pounds
Pages in this Story:
- "I Did It!"
- Barbara's Success Plan
"I Did It!"
Age: 26
Height: 5'1"
Her Weight Before: 180
Her Weight After: 130
Pounds lost: 50
Time at Current Weight: 1 year
Barbara Manna fell in love at an early age, with chicken parmesan. "My family owned an Italian restaurant, and I would eat unlimited portions of pasta and garlic bread," says the dental assistant from Sarasota, Florida. By the time she was 15, her weight had climbed to 180 pounds. Although she hated her size, she wasn't prepared to change her diet, and her only exercise was hip-hop dancing a few times a week with friends. But when she was 20, she moved with her parents to Italy to open a restaurant. "It was a total culture shock -- the girls were thin, and I couldn't find clothes that fit me," she recalls. Barbara was motivated to start running two miles three times a week and adopted the Mediterranean diet. Over the next three years, she lost 40 pounds and felt great.
But when she moved back to the States at age 23, she got busy with college, quit running, and ate fast food every day, which pushed her weight back up. "I was so unhappy. I could feel the fat hanging over my waistband and I had zero energy," Barbara says. Yearning to regain the healthy way she'd looked and felt in Italy, she traded double cheeseburgers for fruit, veggies, and grilled chicken and snacked on low-fat yogurt instead of Pop-Tarts. At the same time, she joined a gym and signed up with a personal trainer. "I'd walk on the treadmill for an hour every day after work. After a month, I wasn't sweating or breathing as hard, so I switched to the elliptical machine and stationary bike," she says. She lost about two pounds a week, then added kickboxing and weight training to her routine; within a few months, she had reached her current weight of 130. Now Barbara has returned to one of her old loves -- hitting the dance floor. "When I go out clubbing, I know I look good. I'm actually fit enough to break-dance!"

ATLANTA - A Snellville man wanted by federal authorities in a multi-million dollar financing scheme remains on the lam, while his alleged counterparts move closer to prison, an official said Wednesday.Eyal Dulin, 39, joined a trio of con artists who masqueraded as brokers and preyed on entrepreneurs and small businesses, federal authorities believe. Dulin remains a fugitive on federal charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and one count of wire fraud. He was indicted on the charges - along with co-defendants Katherine Twigg, 47, of Hoschton, and Anthony Tobin, 51, of Atlanta - on March 25. Dulin, the alleged ringleader, pleaded guilty to the charges in federal court Wednesday. Twigg is expected to enter a similar plea July 28, authorities said. The trio bilked roughly 40 victims of about $5 million in the scheme, said United States Attorney David Nahmias. Tobin admitted to using various networking Web sites to skim e-mail addresses of potential victims, informing them he was in the business of providing venture capital, investment funds and business loans. As a precondition for this funding, the victims paid non-refundable, advance expenses and fees. Tobin kept the fees and transferred them to accounts controlled by him and the co-defendants in the case, Nahmias said. A sentencing hearing for Tobin is scheduled for Oct. 8. He faces up to 40 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

Indiana lawmakers who supported last session's education overhaul have billed charter schools as a better alternative than the state's public schools for teaching low-income students. But state test scores from spring 2011, used as a measure of student performance, show the opposite: Public school students have outperformed their charter school counterparts. Charter schools tend to […]

How the iPad can save you money
You've just plunked down $400-plus to buy this device. Now let its apps help you save.
This guest post comes from Theodora Blanchfield at LearnVest.
If you shelled out $400-plus for an iPad last weekend, you're probably looking to save some money right now. Here's a relief: The iPad can actually help you save money. Granted, this is not reason enough to buy an iPad, but you should make the most of your device once you've bought it.
Here are some of the apps you'll want to check out:
IDisplay: If you want to add an extra monitor to your computer, you'll typically have to shell out at least $100, but this $5 app lets you use your iPad as a second monitor. It currently only works with Macs, but the company plans on a PC version.
Desktop Connect: For $11.99, this app helps you access your Mac OS X or Windows 7 desktop to help you use your iPad like a computer. With Desktop Connect, your iPad can connect to your desktop, letting you see and use any of your programs just as if you were sitting at your home computer. You can also listen to songs in your home iTunes library straight from your iPad.
Netflix: The Netflix streaming app can save you money that you would have spent buying TV shows and movies from iTunes. As with the Netflix Web site, you can stream anything labeled "Watch Instantly" via wireless Internet on your iPad. You need a Netflix subscription to reap the benefits, but the app itself is free.
ABC Player: The ABC Player iPad app offers you access to ABC shows like "Grey's Anatomy" for free. Flash-based Hulu doesn't yet work on the iPad, though there are rumors that an app is in the works. So far, no other major TV networks are on the iPad.
Zinio: Most magazine apps require you to pay to download a magazine issue, but Zinio, a free app, offers free trials of more than 40 magazines.
The New York Times and USA Today: Both news companies have created free apps to provide you with free access to limited amounts of content from their newspapers.
Bloomberg for iPad: This app is like having a mini Bloomberg terminal on your iPad, but without the $1,500-plus-per-month price tag. One of the most popular apps in the App Store, Bloomberg for iPad gives you up-to-the-minute quotes on stocks, bonds and commodities, plus updates on the Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nikkei 225 and FTSE 100 indices. Touching a ticker symbol will give you in-depth information, including the stock's past performance and any recent company news.
Agile Snowball: Originally designed for the iPhone but optimized for the iPad, this $5 app will show you how long it will take to pay off your debt. You can experiment to see how much faster you can pay off your debt if you change the size of your payments.
Expense Tablet: This $3 app gives you a way to quickly track expenditures on the go. You can break down your expenses by category and view graphs of where your money's going.
Bills & Reminders: If you find yourself forgetting to pay your bills (even after you've already signed up for e-mail notifications from your banks and credit cards), try out this $1 app, which helps you set reminders for your bills.
Kayak Flights: From the people who brought you the dead-simple site that searches every airline for the best flight price, this beautifully designed app can help you save money on your flights (so that you can fly all over the world while showing off your latest tech gadget). It uses every inch of the iPad's real estate to show you flights, hotels, search history and hot searches from your city. The app also puts pins on a map for the cities you're searching (just in case you weren't sure where you were going).

Famed makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury once called eyebrows "the pillars of the face." And the Fashion Week gods agree: We've been seeing full, thick arches all over the fall runways. Here, a few tips for getting your best brows:
- Always get a professional brow shaping and be specific with the technician about what shape you want (bring a photo of your favorite brow look if that helps), then use a tweezer like Tweezerman Slant Tweezer to grab strays in between visits. Money-saving bonus: Tweezerman offers free sharpening for life when you purchase their tweezers.
- Then, use a powder or soft pencil (such as Anastasia Go Brow Universal Brow Pencil or Benefit Brow Zings Kit) in light, feathery motions to fill in any sparse spots for a full, perfectly-shaped look.
- Slick a bit of brow gel over hairs keep them in line—both tinted and clear versions do the trick.
- Finish with a dab of highlighter, like Smashbox Eye Beam Double-Ended Brightener, under browbones to conceal any strays and give arches a flattering lift.

Grilled Portobellos Topped With Caramelized Onions, Peppers, and Garlic
I must admit, I was a little intimidated by Portobellos. Until last night.
Grilled Portobellos Topped With Caramelized Onions, Peppers and Garlic
2 Portobellos
1 yellow onion sliced
6 baby bells sliced
6 cloves of garlic chopped
salt/ pepper to taste
red chili pepper flakes
Rub EVOO on the Portobellos, sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili pepper flake. Place on Grill for 15 min.
While Porotbellos are grilling, saute the onions, garlic and baby bells until caramelized. Add salt and pepper and which ever spices you appreciate to the onions.
Place the caramelized goodness onto the Bellos ( cap down) and delight yourself!

Grain-Less Granola
We like a little crunch. Typical Granola is made with oats, which we do not eat. So we decided to create a grain-less granola. We have enjoyed it with our morning banana and almond butter, and on the top of our salads and what ever else we can throw it on…..best on top of our Coconut Honey Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
Grain-Less Granola
We use the raw organic nuts from Eureka natural Foods. The only measurements I have is the scoops in the bins.
2 scoops raw cashew halves
2 scoops raw almonds
1.5 scoops raw walnuts
1.5 scoops raw pecan pieces
1 scoop raw sunflower seeds
1 scoop raw pepita (pumpkin) seeds
3-4 Tbs Organic Coconut oil
2 Tbs Organic Honey
2 Tbs Organic Vanilla Extract
Pulse ( 2-3 times) all nuts minus the sunflower seeds in a food processor. Add all nuts together in a bowl, mix well. Melt the coconut oil and honey, add the vanilla extract and pour over nuts. Mix well. Spread on a cookie sheet and bake in your 300 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. Stir half way through. You are wanting the color to be a golden brown. Once baked, let cool. Store in an airtight container up to a week…that is all ours lasts. I am sure it will keep much longer.
Of course for the Daniel's fast we eliminated the honey. We did add some raisins, which plumped when we baked it making it most delicious!
Sauteed Garlic Mushroom Salad
On a typical day we eat organic vegetables, organic meat, and occasional fruits and nuts. We have organic honey as our only sweetener. Oohh yea, how can I forget, the organic eggs.
Our church is in the middle of 52 days of prayer and fasting. We have survived our first media fast, and are in the middle of our 21 days of the Daniel's fast.
For the Daniel's fast our family have had to cut our our meats, honey and eggs. We don't eat tofu, legumes, or grains of any kind, resulting in the "acceptable foods" for a Daniel's fast to be the following; fruits, vegis, and nuts.
One day last week, I made a Sauteed Garlic Mushroom salad. It was delicious to say the least, the only think missing was a grilled to perfection rib eye and a few close friends.
Sauteed Garlic Mushroom Salad
4 C mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
6 cloves of garlic, pressed and sliced
4 Tbs EVOO
salad greens of your choice
1 tomato, diced
1 tsp grain-less granola ( recipe to follow….someday)
4 baby bells sliced
Add the EVOO to a cast iron skillet on low-med. Add garlic once oil has warmed and brown the garlic, add the prepared mushrooms, cook until your desired doneness….is that a word?
Prepare your salad as you normally would and top with the garlic infused mushrooms and drizzle with the left over sauce.

Eventually "social" will no longer be a differentiator just as digital marketing will no longer remain distinct from marketing. A few months after buying that new BMW, it becomes just your car. Similarly, "social" will just be the norm. If you take a quick gander at how potential clients search for an interactive agency, it's very clear that prospects are demanding that your agency offers social media services. And nearly half of your clients' customers expect brands to respond to them on Twitter.
Many brands have jumped on board the social bandwagon. Some have social media customer service centers, dedicated community managers and editorial planning behind their social content creation, and are still eager to take social to the next level. Yet there remains a vast demand for social media education from the 101 level and beyond. Every brand – whether engrossed in social media or not – has a different social media maturity. And an agency business opportunity exists at each stage along the maturity curve: each step is a different opportunity for an agency to help them to the next level.
Here are just a few stats to illustrate how much growth remains in the social business space:
- Only 38% of CMOs are tracking social media metrics
- 68% of CMOs feel unprepared to deal with social media
- 70% of companies ignore customer complaints on Twitter
There emerge four major roles the social agency can play to meet the demand:
The Four Roles of the Social Agency
1. Interpreter – make sense of data, make actionable recommendations
- By far one of the biggest opportunities for agencies is getting comfortable with aggregating and analyzing the right data, and reporting on what matters. Just because you can measure digital doesn't mean you need to measure everything. Brands need help understanding not only why certain conversations and phenomena are happening in social media, but what they can do about it.
- This all starts with listening. Agencies can help clients by tuning in to the right conversations at the right time, and translating what those conversations mean for a client's business.
2. Tour Guide – educate and help clients navigate the social media space
- Intangible, consultative services are often times needed from agencies. Agencies can reserve "doing" for the client, and instead take a step back to "show" or "coach" clients on the nature of social media and how it can be leveraged to accomplish business goals.
- "You teach best what you most have to learn." – Richard Bach. By staying on top of the social media industry and informing clients about the implications these transformations have on clients' businesses, agencies are better apt to stay on top of the changing social media landscape and can more easily devise new offerings to sell.
- Clients need help becoming more human in their online communications, listening at the point of need, integrating traditional marketing with social media, getting their employees educated and involved, etc.
3. Ally – do the social media marketing, listening or engaging that your client doesn't have the resources or know-how to do
- Brands often times want to be involved in social, but want an agency to do it for them. Agencies have the opportunity to do one or more of the following: social editorial planning, social content creation, social content distribution, social media campaign planning and deployment, and social media measurement. Facebook-only to full-blown community management is also an option.
- Determining what to say in social often stems from insights from social media listening.
4. Choreographer – integrate and harmonize social media technologies
- Be an agency that not only advises the client which social technologies to adopt (you'll have to do your research, conduct trials, etc.), but constructs the policies, processes and educational groundwork necessary to mold the client into a nimble and equipped social company. The agency also project manages this transformation.

2014 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE: Beginning to arrive at dealerships, and on display a the 2014 Chicago Auto Show are the latest editions of the Volkswagen Beetle. These include the limited-edition Beetle GSR model introduced at last year's Chicago show, and the arrival of a more fuel-efficient 1.8-liter TSI turbocharged four cylinder replacing the base 2.5L engine. Also, note that the Beetle Turbo lineup is now renamed R-line. Continuing in its third-generation the beloved Beetle is on sale in the United States with a variety of models available: the Beetle, sporty R-Line, GSR and the TDI Clean Diesel package. For 2014, the Beetle range receives a number of enhancements, and electro-mechanical power steering replaces the previous hydraulic setup. All Beetle models now have a multilink rear suspension, replacing the torsion beam setup on the base 2.5 and TDI models. The GSR is a modern re-interpretation of the 1970s GSR ("Yellow Black Racer"). The new car has yellow/black stripes with "GSR" lettering above the side skirts and a large rear spoiler to complete the look. The car rides on 19-inch "Tornado" aluminum-alloy wheels shod with 235/40 tires. Additional powerplants include the 2.5L five-cylinder that makes 170hp and the 210 hp 2.0L four-cylinder in the R-Line. Transmission choices include the six-speed manual and the six-speed DSG automatic gearbox with Tiptronic and Sport mode. Even though the "cathedral ceiling" dome roof of the New Beetle has been replaced with a sleek and sporty roofline, the roomy cabin continues to seat four-passengers and the trunk on the 2014 model offers 15.4 cubic feet of space. When rear seats are folded, the capacity increases to 29.9 cubic feet. Desirable features include transparent, panoramic tilt/slide glass sunroof, navigation system with a five-inch touchscreen and push-button start.
