The ANA Masters of Marketing Conference: It's a time when we hear the thinking behind the work of some very well run brands. This past week, I had the pleasure of attending the conference and seeing some of the top leaders in marketing share the back-stories about their work and their lessons learned.
Having just launched Interbrand's Best Global Brands 2012 report, it was interesting for me to see the high correlation between key themes that emerged during the conference and what Interbrand recently highlighted as the key drivers of today's top brands. This year, Interbrand rallied around the key theme of humanity.
"Today's best brands are in touch with their own humanity and the humanity of others" according to Jez Frampton, Global Chief Executive of Interbrand. Humanity in brands takes many forms, ranging from what the brand does to serve society to how the brand relates to individual customers.
Jim Farley, Group Vice President of Global Marketing, Sales and Service at Ford Motor Company
talked about risk taking and forging human connections with consumers.
Ford understands that people are now looking for more authentic brands,
and Ford's marketing objective is "to be the brand that the most average
consumer connects with," combined with an underdog mentality.
The brand dedicates approximately 20% of its budget on pre-launch activity
to build excitement with customers and through local dealer activity.
Ford has seen its brand value increase over the past year by 6%.
Johnson & Johnson strives to care for the needs of society and the greater good. It is a business and brand that, despite some faltering in recent years, continues to work to put into action its core values documented in the brand's Credo. J&J aims to put patients, doctors and nurses at the top of the list of priorities, and it guides them to focus on social and societal issues like the need for Blood Donations and the need for more Registered Nurses.
According to Kimberly Kadlec, Worldwide Vice President of Global Marketing, J&J is also shaking up the original 4 P's: Price, Promotion, Product and Place. They are now orienting themselves around more human terms: Purpose, Presence, Partnerships and Proximity. In doing so they've launched bold marketing programs tapping into innovative uses of digital channels to closely connect with users of their consumer products. Thanks to these types of efforts, J&J continues to be a preferred brand, despite being plagued by product recalls and shortages, and has seen its brand value increase 8% in the past year.
McDonald's Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Neil Golden, spoke about the success that his brand has had answering the call of those who were looking for healthier alternatives. Over the last few years, the brand has grown stronger by offering healthier menu options, including fresh apples in every Happy Meal for kids, and highlighting Favorites Under 400 – a selection of classic McDonald's choices that have always been under 400 calories. Further, the brand continues to make the strategy of "Simple, Easy, Enjoyment" relevant in all markets that it serves. McDonald's brand has had a healthy increase in value, up 13% in the past year.
Shifting toward the individual, humanity can also take the form of creating differentiation with a profound consumer insight. Approximately 15 years ago, Mastercard understood that credit card purchases were not as much a financial transaction, but a priceless moment being created. They have consistently ran the Priceless campaign all around the world since that time, keeping it relevant to local markets and making evolutionary adjustments over time.
According to Alfredo Gangotena, Chief Marketing Officer of Mastercard Worldwide, "When you go to heaven, it's not what you take with you, it's the experiences you've had." He also praised the CMO's he has succeeded for not bowing to temptation to change the campaign just because they were new to the job. Mastercard is a new entrant this year on Interbrand's Best Global Brands, with a ranking of 94.
Humanity is also about being pure. At Interbrand, we often talk about the need for companies to constantly nurture their brands to keep pace in a rapidly changing world. For some brands, that means finding their way back to who they really are when looking for revitalization.
This was certainly true when listening to Alison Lewis, Senior Vice President of North America at Coca-Cola. She described how the number one ranked brand for 13 consecutive years has been focusing recently on revitalizing itself. They have rallied around a clear and simple idea: "Coke brings Joy." To get back to iconic brand imagery and communications, the brand's visual look was stripped back to its purest form and most foundational brand elements (red, the script typeface, the bottle contour, ribbon).
Additionally, they've been focusing on digital as the first screen to create 1-to-1 relationships with customers. Through an evolved CRM program that is aimed to keep people constantly engaged in a web of online places that they frequent, Coke understands that true relationships can be formed with customers that are not just cap to cap. Coca-Cola saw its brand value rise 8% in the past year.
Proctor & Gamble's Global Marketing & Brand Building Officer, Marc Pritchard, highlighted an insight-centric approach when he spoke about the role of deeply understanding customers when developing marketing and advertising. He said that whenever a brand is performing poorly, he goes back to the brand's launch. He looks at the original value proposition and the original creative, and then looks to see where it strayed off track.
He also spoke about finding deep cultural insights through observational research to help drive creativity that connects with people though real relevance. The winning formula he said is "consumer insight plus creativity," because "creativity plus humor, without insight, is worthless."
One example he spoke about is that diaper advertising for many years was about no leaks while toddlers crawled around, but P&G's research revealed that everyone is happier after a good night sleep. So Pampers focused advertising on the benefit of dryness at night so everyone sleeps well. Pampers, P&G's number one selling brand in the world, was a new entrant this year to Best Global Brands 2012, raking at number 34 in brand value.
This year's ANA featured many impressive speakers presenting their brands' great achievements, the risks that they have taken and the lessons that they've learned. We believe that it was their drive toward forging greater human connections to society and individuals that helped make the difference. These connections were powered by deep customer insights, one-to-one relationships through digital channels and building admiration by doing right for the community it serves. It was even better to see that these success stories also helped to increase brand value for all ranked presenters – a demonstration that brand is becoming a more powerful business asset for their companies.

Given that, how big a problem could open recursive name servers be? Pretty big. The Open Resolver Project has collected a list of 33 million open recursive name servers. Hackers can fire spoofed queries at as many of these as they like to spew isc.org data at your Web server, name server, or border router until it chokes.
That's how DNS-based DDoS attacks work. Thankfully, we have a few ways to combat them.
How to weather the storm
The first order of business is instrumenting your DNS infrastructure, so you'll know when you're under attack. Too many organizations have no idea what their query load is, so they'd never know if they were being attacked in the first place.
Determining your query load can be as simple as using BIND's built-in statistics support. The BIND name server will dump data to its statistics file when you run rndc stats, for example, or at a configurable statistics interval. You can examine the statistics for query rate, socket errors, and other indications of an attack. Don't worry if you're not sure what an attack will look like yet -- part of the goal of monitoring DNS is to establish a baseline, so you can identify what's abnormal.
Next, take a look at your Internet-facing infrastructure. Don't limit yourself to your external authoritative name servers; examine your switch and router infrastructure, your firewalls, and your connections to the Internet. Identify any single points of failure. Determine whether you can easily (and cost-effectively) eliminate them.
If possible, consider broad geographical distribution of your external authoritative name servers. This helps avoid single points of failure, of course, but it also helps when you're not under attack. A recursive name server resolving a domain name in one of your zones will try to query the authoritative name server closest to it, so geographical distribution will tend to provide better performance to your customers and correspondents. If your customers are clustered in certain geographies, try to place an authoritative name server near them to provide the quickest responses.
Perhaps the most basic way to combat DoS attacks is to overprovision your infrastructure. The good news is that overprovisioning your name servers isn't necessarily expensive; a capable name server can handle tens or even hundreds of thousands of queries per second. Not sure what your name servers' capacity is? You might use query tools such as dnsperf to test your name servers' performance -- preferably using a test platform similar to your production name servers in a lab rather than the production servers themselves.

Would you watch a movie on your cell phone?
Blockbuster will enter the narrow field next month with T-Mobile movie player, competing with mSpot.
Hoping more people will have occasion to watch big-screen hits on the tiny screen, Blockbuster has partnered with T-Mobile for an OnDemand movie download service, available on the new HTC HD2 smart phones (pictured).
The phone is due to hit stores March 24, and Blockbuster plans to offer a similar service through Motorola (MOT) smart phones by the end of the year.
- MSN Entertainment: Oscars -- 1939 vs. 2009
"It's a matter of consumer convenience. However consumers want to watch a movie is where we will position ourselves," Michelle Metzger, a spokeswoman for Blockbuster, told TheWrap.
While watching downloaded movies on iPhones and other smart phones is nothing new, movie rentals via cell phones are something of a frontier.
First on the block was mSpot, which kicked off its service last fall and used its head start to sign deals with some of the major studios, including Universal, Paramount and the Weinstein Co., to stream movies over smart phones for a rental fee of $4.99. It expects other studios to sign up in the near future.
MSpot now boasts a catalog of 600 movies, including recent releases such as "Paranormal Activity," "Inglorious Basterds" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."
While Blockbuster will be available only through a few Motorola and T-Mobile devices, mSpot's service runs on multiple carriers including AT&T, Alltel, Boost, Sprint and U.S. Cellular. Its service is available on dozens of handsets including iPhones, BlackBerrys and Androids.
"We're not looking at mobile phones as replacing 46-inch plasma TVs," said Daren Tsui, CEO and co-founder of the small, 67-staffer mSpot. "But we do see this complementing the big- and home-screen experience."

Have you seen the new Dove commercial where women are asked to describe themselves for a sketch artist who can't see them? "Tell me about your hair," he said. "Tell me about your chin."
"It kind of protrudes a little bit, especially when I smile," said one woman in the ad sketch. Others talk only of their flaws: big jaw, too many freckles, fat face. The artist then gets more flattering descriptions from strangers who spoke to the women only once. The resulting sketches show striking differences: Those based on the strangers' descriptions were far more flattering than the ones based on the women's descriptions of themselves. Dove's message: "You are more beautiful than you think."

ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's no secret that Orlando's current rebuilding process will lean heavily on its ability to develop and get production from its younger players.
After nearly a month of swallowing bitter lessons during a season-worst string of losses, the Magic's youth played a big role in helping them finally break out of their haze.
J.J. Redick scored 22 points, and Nikola Vucevic added 17 points and 19 rebounds as Orlando snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 110-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night.
The Magic shot 50 per cent from the field in earning their first win since Jan. 16. Jameer Nelson added 10 points and a career-high 15 assists, and reserve Gustavo Ayon also tied a career-high with 16 points to go along with 11 rebounds for the Magic.
"When teams made runs over the last X-amount of games, we kind of shut down a little bit," Nelson said. "Tonight we didn't, we were up and they cut it to three or four. We just kept playing our game. We played well enough to win tonight."
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 25 points. Nicolas Batum added 19 points and Wesley Matthews chipped in 17.
The Blazers, who have lost three in a row, fell to 1-7 in their last eight road games. They still have two more road games this week before the All-Star break.
After seeing his 30-point scoring night go for naught in his team's loss to Houston on Friday, Aldridge tried to defer more to his teammates at times Sunday.
It did little to draw out a better defensive effort, however.
Portland turned it over 14 times, leading to 18 points on the other end by Orlando. The Magic also got into the paint at will, outscoring the Blazers 60-46 on the inside and 15-6 on second-chance opportunities.
Part of the reason was how well Orlando's big men played. In addition to his scoring and rebounding, Ayon he also helped to open things up offensively with six assists. One pass was particular highlight-worthy, with the second-year big man finding rookie Andrew Nicholson in the lane with a no-look, behind-the-back pass.
What made the game particularly impressive was that Ayon had not scored more than four points or had more than two rebounds in any of the Magic's previous five games.
"The NBA is like that, and you have to forget about the game before," Ayon said. "You have to think about the game that's coming up."
His impact on Sunday was not lost on Portland.
"He has good basketball instincts and he was physical on the boards," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "He was aggressive. He did a little bit of everything."
Guard play was also slanted heavily in the Magic's favour with Nelson's assist total overshadowing a 12-assist night by Portland point guard Damian Lillard, who also shot a dismal 1 for 16 from the field.
Orlando held a 79-72 lead entering the final quarter but had to push back against multiple attempts at a run by the Blazers down the stretch.
Portland closed to 103-95 with less than 3 minutes to play, but the Magic answered with a 3-pointer by Redick and a layup by Ayon to push the cushion back to 13 with just over a minute remaining.
Redick returned to action Sunday after missing three consecutive games with a sore right shoulder and instantly injected some energy into the Magic's lineup.
Usually most effective with his outside shot, Redick did his scoring with a variety of cuts to the basket and layups off fast breaks. He attempted only a pair of 3-pointers through the first three quarters, but still managed 17 points over that span.
The Magic led by as many as nine late in the second quarter before Batum went on a one-man 11-2 scoring run to tie it. Orlando responded with a 9-3 run to end the half, taking a 55-49 lead into the locker room.
Now a game under .500 and stuck in the No. 9 position in the West, it is a tenuous time for the Blazers, who next head to Miami on Tuesday before concluding their road trip at New Orleans on Wednesday.
"There are things that we can fix. If things were going south, that means guys are not playing hard and we think that we are better than we are," Lillard said. "We have spurts that we just let down and teams take advantage of it."
The Magic play their next two at home, where they have nine of their victories this season.
It's no secret that they want to hold onto their feeling from Sunday night.
"You always want to see the fruits of your labour and in this business it's wins and losses and it's just good for the guys' psyche overall," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. "But we've stayed firm in our approach and guys have been unbelievable throughout this process.
"I think they see their hard work and the lessons that they're learning along the way, they'll add up for us."
Notes: Orlando is the second straight opponent to shoot at least 50 per cent against Portland. ... Nicholson was chosen to replace injured Detroit C Andre Drummond in the Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star weekend in Houston. He joins Vucevic, who will play on the opposing team in the game. Asked if he was concerned about either player on his injury-riddled team getting hurt, Vaughn replied, "That's a nightly prayer."... Magic F Hedo Turkoglu missed his third straight game with flu-like symptoms. ... Hall of Famer Julius Erving was in attendance Sunday night.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

Published: June 9, 2011
The life of Rita Brown Holder, who was born in New Hampshire but lived most of her life in Choctaw and was a long time supporter of and fund-raiser for the Choctaw Library, will be celebrated in a memorial service held at the library, 2525 Muzzy, on June 13, 2011 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
"She inspired many people to help improve the library, and that in turn benefited the entire community," said Manager of Choctaw Library Operations Rosemary Czarski. "She was driven to accomplish the goal of getting a permanent full service library in Choctaw from the time back in the seventies when the community was served by a bookmobile. She founded and organized the Choctaw Library Guild as an association and then as a non-profit corporation to accomplish this task.
"As the library grew from a bookmobile, to a reading center, to an extension library and then a full sized library, she kept working in the community to get that permanent building. We moved into the current library building in January 2004. Since then, she has continued to steadfastly support our library." Rita Holder passed away May 26, 2011. To celebrate the stories of her life, there will be an "Honoring Rita" gathering at the library that will be followed by a meeting of the Choctaw Library Guild.
In lieu of flowers, a donation payable to the Choctaw Library Guild in Rita Holder's name may be made.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org.

The Government Accountability Office reviewed 581 bid protests filed by companies against DOD's awards in 2008, which is 17.8 percent more than the previous year, officials reported last week.
But they said the rise matches DOD's 15.7 percent increase in spending in the same period.
"These similar rates of increase may suggest that the increase in protests was due in part to DOD's increase in procurement spending," GAO said in its report. Despite more protests, GAO said it doesn't represent an increase. The numbers reflect a downward trend when compared to spending, which has climbed by billions of dollars in the same period.

A strong storm system bringing powerful winds and heavy rain caused some damage across Georgia on Thursday. In Rome, Ga., high winds apparently blew an air conditioning condenser from the roof of the Southern Pipe and Supply Company. Then, the roof itself was blown from the building. Workers say the business has been around 35 years and has never experienced anything like that before.
"That's the only building in town that got hurt. Just our luck, I guess," said manager Kevin Belk of Southern Pipe and Supply.There were no injuries as the business was closed at the time. Belk said that some water got into the showroom. Workers put some tarp to try and minimize the damage.A spa next door to the piping company suffered no damage, which could indicate evidence that a microburst – a small concentrated downburst of wind – blew the roof off.
Despite the damage, Belk said that the business plans on being open on Friday.
In Lumpkin County, authorities say a tree fell near a home close to Pony Lake Road. Crews have been busy most of the night clearing debris and trying to restore power in the neighborhood.
They say strong winds also knocked down many tree limbs near Highway 60.Over in Coweta County, storm storms brought large tree branches down. Scott Jackson said that he heard a loud thump outside his home. "Just boom, like somebody kicked the floor real hard and that's basically it," Jackson said. No injuries were reported.
The line of storms hit Haralson County hard, knocking one home off of its foundation. A large tree in the front yard was also uprooted. Many FOX 5 viewers sent pictures of golf ball-sized hail. Click here to see viewer pictures from the day.

Legal Notices and Provisions / Legal Notices and Provisions
Harvard University promotes the health and well-being of its students and employees through its Health Services and other agencies. The unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on Harvard property or as a part of any Harvard activities is a violation of University rules, as well as the law. Possession, use, or distribution of certain nonprescription drugs, including marijuana, amphetamines, heroin, cocaine, and nonprescription synthetics; procurement or distribution of alcohol if one is under 21 years of age; and provision of alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age are violations of law and of Harvard policy. The University holds its students and employees responsible for the consequences of their decisions to use or distribute illicit drugs, or to serve or consume alcohol. Further, it expects students and employees to create and maintain an environment for learning and work that is safe and healthy and encourages responsible conduct.
The use of illicit drugs and the misuse of alcohol are potentially harmful to health. In particular, synthetically produced drugs, which are readily available in the Boston metropolitan area, often have unpredictable emotional and physical side effects, which constitute an extreme health hazard. In addition, students are encouraged to weigh the seriousness of potential loss of function that may come from ingesting illicit drugs or too much alcohol. Because of the considerable health hazards involved in drug and alcohol use, administrative, medical, and psychiatric help for students having drug problems or difficulties controlling their use of alcohol are available on a confidential basis from the Law School Health Services and at the University Health Services at Holyoke Center, and any member of the University may make use of the Health Services on an emergency basis, day or night.
Attention is directed to the fact that the University is not, and cannot be considered as, a protector or sanctuary from the existing laws of the city, state, or federal government. Students are reminded that there are heavy penalties, including imprisonment, for possession or distribution of illicit drugs and for selling or delivering alcohol to, or procuring alcohol for, someone under the age of 21. There are also serious penalties for anyone under the age of 21 who purchases, attempts to purchase, or arranges to procure alcoholic beverages or to misrepresent his or her age or falsify his or her identification with the intent of purchasing alcohol; anyone, regardless of age, caught falsifying a driver's license, or selling or distributing false I.D.s; and anyone, regardless of age, who operates a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or with an open container of alcohol. In addition, the city of Cambridge prohibits consumption of alcohol on public property or on property open to the public. All students should become familiar with the pamphlet on drug and alcohol law prepared by the General Counsel to the University, distributed at registration each year, and available in the Dean of Students Office.
The Law School will take appropriate action when cases of this type come to its attention, consistent with the legal sanctions for the inappropriate use of drugs and alcohol.
The Law School will respond to:
Sanctions may include warning by administrative officers and referral to health or counseling services or action by the Administrative Board, including warning, reprimand, suspension, or expulsion (the last three sanctions are reported to bar authorities), and referral for prosecution.
Students can serve beer and wine at Law School events. All alcohol must be purchased through Restaurant Associates (the Law School's onsite catering service). Please contact Restaurant Associates at email@example.com or by calling 617-495-5538.
The minimum drinking age in Massachusetts is 21. To be served or provided an alcoholic beverage, an individual must show proof of minimum drinking age by presenting a government issued photo identification.
Restaurant Associates bartenders must be present to serve the alcohol at student events. The number of bartenders will be determined by Restaurant Associates and the Dean of Students Office.
Harvard University Police (HUPD) must be present for student-sponsored events whenever alcohol is served and the number in attendance exceeds 100 or for any event where HUPD presence is determined to be necessary by the Dean of Students Office. A police detail can be arranged by visiting the HUPD website. The appropriate number of police officers will be determined by the HUPD and the Dean of Students Office.
A proportional amount of food and nonalcoholic beverages must be available at any event where alcohol is served. Please contact Restaurant Associates or the Dean of Students Office to determine the appropriate amount.
Off-campus events – Private residence or event space
The HLS guidelines relating to alcohol purchase and the requirement of a bartender are enforced for all off-campus events at which HLS funds are used.
Off-campus events – Bars and Restaurants
If the bar/restaurant serves alcohol under its own license, the guidelines relating to alcohol purchase and the requirement of a bartender do not apply (since that is covered by the establishment). However, students may receive a maximum of 2 drink tickets for such events.
A special one-day liquor license must be obtained from the Cambridge License Commission (Cambridge City Hall) for all events where alcohol is sold. Procedures for obtaining the license are available from the Event Scheduling and Support Office, Holmes Hall 1. A license is not necessary for some events taking place in Harkness Commons, because the HLS license covers the Law School's sale of beer and wine in Harkness. Student organizations must check with the Dean of Students Office before selling any alcoholic beverages.
Please contact the Dean of Students Office with questions regarding the Alcohol Policy, 617-495-1880 or email@example.com.

Back up your systems securely
System Rescue
Creating backups is one thing, making sure they're secure is another. We offer some tips for ensuring the process is as painless as possible.
Making backups of your data is critical. If you don't regularly create usable backups, any outages, disk failures, or administrative errors can cause permanent data loss. But, although backups address the availability (and to some degree integrity) aspects of the AIC security triad (availability, integrity, confidentiality), they can introduce significant risks with respect to the confidentiality or secrecy of your data. In other words, when you centralize all your data on removable storage (e.g., tape drives), things can get very bad very quickly if the tapes are misplaced or stolen.
Encrypted Backups
The solution, of course, is to encrypt your backups. Depending on the risk you're willing to accept, strong encryption can even let you store your files in potentially insecure locations (e.g., a public cloud storage provider). In general, most backup programs support 256-bit AES, which is extremely strong, so with properly generated keys that are secured from attackers, your data should be safe from decryption for at least a few decades. However, you must consider several other issues when deciding how to apply encryption to your backups and how to manage your encryption keys.

One key to the game, Smith said, was the Lady Panthers' approach at the service line.
"Over the weekend, we didn't serve aggressively," Smith said. "We talked about it and they served more aggressively last night."
As a team, the Lady Panthers served with 91 percent accuracy Tuesday night. Asay was 21 for 22 for the match and served three aces.
Ando was 13 for 14 after her game-opening ace, and Donarski was 10 for 10.
Ando also was the team's leader in assists with 16. Pollart was the offensive leader with 13 assists and 17 kills. Donarski scored 11 kills and Olivia Rogers had seven. Kami Cooley came off the bench to contribute three assists.
Defensively, Kelsey Allen and Donarski led in digs, with 16 and 14, respectively and Rogers picked up eight.
The opening night crowd, including an noisy contingent of PHS students, provided a boost to the team, Smith said.
"The student body was great," Smith said. "Momentum is a big thing in volleyball and crowd support helps give you momentum."
Riverton tournament
In their first competition of the season, the Lady Panthers went 2-2 in pool play at Riverton on Friday before falling to Rock Springs in bracket play Saturday.
Powell opened by defeating Cody in two games, 25-17, 25-19, and then lost a tough three-set match to Jackson, 25-22, 27-29, 15-17. They stayed close to Riverton, but lost in two games 23-25, 22-25, but came back to beat Pinedale 25-11, 25-22.
Winning five of nine games seeded the Lady Panthers into the bracket against Rock Springs, and the Tigers won in two games, 25-19, 25-12.
"We played well on Friday," Smith said, "but on Saturday, we didn't play very well. Our youth showed up."
Smith said the Jackson game was one the Lady Panthers should have won.
"We got down early, but came back and won the first game," Smith said. "And we had three game points in game two, but served out of bounds."
For the tournament, the Lady Panthers served with 87 percent accuracy, led by Allen and Rogers, were 91 percent accurate. Asay served six aces and Pollart five. Allen and Rogers also led in digs with 61 and 46, respectively. Pollart made 53 assists and Ando 27. Pollart also led in kills with 42 and Donarski contributed 35, and each contributed one solo block.
Only one game is on the Lady Panthers' schedule this weekend. They will make the long trip to the Tetons for another shot at the Jackson Broncs. On Tuesday, the Lady Panthers will travel to Lovell to open conference competition with the Lady Bulldogs.
Both matches are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. following freshman and junior varsity matches beginning at 4 and 5 p.m.

Failure of the International Criminal Court to act against some autocratic leaders challenged by the Arab Spring has emboldened critics who say many war criminals are not prosecuted because they have powerful allies with ties to the court; frustration threatens to undermine the still-fragile international consensus that formed the basis for the court's creation in 2002.

Staff writer
TREASURE COAST -- A Port St. Lucie man is looking to revive an art form he describes as the "hippy play," and he wants the help of local artists to do it.
Dante John Nazzaro, a playwright who founded the Organic Theatre Company in Jensen Beach in 1997, is looking to stage a revival of the type of plays popular in the 1960s.
He's issued an open call for actors, writers, musicians and other artists to start working on productions they'll stage at Rooster's Daytime Café in Jensen Beach, beginning as early as January.
"The '60s was an era of peace and love, the era of 'Godspell,' 'Hairspray' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar,'" he said. "These plays would be an extension of that."
He's looking for about 10 actors to cast two plays. The first production, called "The Marriage of the Universe," has been staged in Jensen Beach and New Jersey. It tells the story of a mystical union ceremony that unites the world.
The other play, called "The Dictionary," is the work of Port St. Lucie writer Janet Smith. It's the story of a woman who sits on a park bench and speaks only the truth to everyone she encounters.
The concept of an organic theater centers on the idea of artists working together and allowing their work to naturally evolve.
About 10 actors, musicians, singers and writers have responded to the call so far.
TJ Kronowit, co-owner of Roosters Daytime Café, said she welcomes the idea and the local effort to revive a genre.
"Dante is a free spirit, free thinker. He has had his organic theater in the community for several years before, and I think the community could use something like that again," she said. "There's a resurgence of poets, writers and musicians coming to the area, and there's a really good atmosphere and energy when they all get together."
Roosters, located at 891 N.E. Jensen Beach Blvd., closes after lunch. The theater troupe will resume meeting at the café on Monday and Tuesday evenings in January. Members will also use the space there, which allows sitting room for about 50, to stage productions.
For more information, call (302) 569-0860.

Forget everything you've heard or seen about the healthcare debate. OK, not everything — just the lies and misinformation.
Feel better? Want to do something with that positive energy? The Media Consortium (TMC), a network of progressive, independent journalism organizations, explains how you can change the debate with your own reporting:
Your story is getting lost in the shouting and political posturing. But it's these stories that can make the difference in how health care is covered in the national media and how politicians will vote. We're asking you to join us in this exciting citizen journalism project to help uncover the the health care stories of real people, including your own.
TMC goes on to suggest that you videotape a health care town hall; interview community members about their healthcare stories; or tell your own personal story. Then all you have to do is upload your video at MyRapidReport.com, which even provides interviewing tips.
All submissions are reviewed by The UpTake, a video news gathering organization that encourages citizen journalists. The videos will be available for the public to view, and TMC's network will look through them for stories that "help identify the needs and hopes of everyday citizens around the future of our healthcare as they continue to monitor, report and organize around this critical issue."
Live in New York City? Lucky you. You can tape your story in the studio at GRITtv. Space is available starting Friday, Sept. 11, and every Friday afterward. Email email@example.com to reserve a time.
In the meantime, go check out MyRapidReport.com, where some sample videos have already been posted. The site is also going to become a source for healthcare news — starting today, reporter Lindsey Beyerstein will file daily posts on healthcare reform issues and media coverage.
And be sure to tell us when you upload a video. We'd love to link to it and help amplify your side in the debate.

How To Set Up A Cosmetic Care Room In Your Practice
The first question podiatrists ask after they decide to add cosmetic services to their practice is "How do I set up a room?" Some believe it will be quite an undertaking. Others think it will be a breeze and can be done in one day. Either may be true, according to their vision of the concept, but they should know that these rooms are different than traditional podiatry treatment rooms. They should also know the overall setup and appearance contributes to the success of the cosmetic services part of their practice.

"The Art of the Thank you Note" is being discussed in today's AM New York. The staff here at Gracious Eloise would love to weigh in on the matter.
AM New York asserts that 'handwritten notes are sweet, but take too long to deliver'. Maybe they did in the past, but with Gracious Eloise is it easier, more efficient, and abundantly faster to be gracious. And statistically, your handwritten note is bound to stand out from the crowd - and remain out of your prospective bosses' SPAM queue. Email may be today's norm, but with Gracious Eloise's app allowing correspondance to be written as easy as email, the norms may soon be changing.

Protest Series: Keystone XL oil pipeline
- 9303 views
- Uploaded 10:27 AM Aug 26th, 2011
- categories: Entertainment News & Politics
- tags: Barack Obama Keystone XL Mark Ruffalo Oil White House
- channels: MRCTV Originals
For the next couple of weeks, environmental activists will converge on the White House to protest a proposed oil pipeline that will stretch from Canada to Texas. The activists plan to be really loud and annoying and hopefully get arrested in order to draw attention to their cause. B-actor Mark Ruffalo, the spiritual leader of the movement is scheduled to join the rally next week, but for the time being the protest has largely been populated with aging hippies who are calling for President Obama to put the kibosh on the pipeline which they claim will add to global warming. Of course, the pipeline will also likely lead to a lot of new jobs, but far be it for the environmental movement to concern themselves with 9% unemployment. MRCTV.org went down to the White House to talk to some of these activists. Here's what they had to say.
