Has your company been mulling over the idea of using social media to augment your tree care company's marketing? Here are just a few reasons to consider going social:
Create a buzz: There's nothing like word of mouth to promote your business. And social media is the virtual version of this traditional form of marketing. Promote online conversation about your services and watch your customers start talking.
Speaking of watching…Social media is a great outlet to keep an eye on what people are saying about your company. And use these same outlets to address any questions, concerns or problems that your customers (and potential customers) may have about tree care. You'll build relationships, be viewed as a reliable resource, and enhance your brand.
Boost your web traffic: Natural links (not paid links) are the best way to direct visitors to your website. And how do you get natural links? By having links from other sites, like Facebook or Twitter, point to your site. And these links will boost your company in the search engine. Plus - it just gives your potential customers another means to find you.
Affordability: How did we get this far before mentioning the price? Social media marketing is just a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing and advertising, ultimately only costing you time. And if you can find someone in your company who is well versed with social media, put 'em to good use!
Stay tuned in the coming weeks – we'll be posting more tips and tricks for using social media to grow your tree care business! And if your company is already Facebooking, Tweeting or blogging (or anything else), share your tips below!
Partners Advancing Commercial Treecare
TCIA would like to thank the following crown partners whose commitment to our work is extraordinary.

Weeknight supper: pasta bake
I don't really have a recipe for this pasta: I tweak it a little bit each time that I make it so it always turns out a little bit differently. Basically, I gather whatever vegetables I have on hand (usually onions, bell pepper, mushrooms and broccoli) and meat (usually pork sausage or ground beef), and cook them together, throw in some passata (strained tomatoes), some dried herbs and other seasonings (garlic and red wine). When that has all come together, I toss it with some cooked pasta, then pour into a casserole dish. I top the whole thing with some cheese and bake it off until good and bubbly. This is comfort food at its best!

A.Tile-setter and JLC contributing editor Michael Byrne responds: Saltillo pavers have always been among my favorite tiles because of their unique handcrafted appearance. I have used a wide variety of colorants and sealers on them, including aniline dyes, opaque stains, penetrating oil, hot paraffin and naphtha, beeswax, and other materials that do not react with water.
The few times I've seen problems with a cloudy finish, the culprit was latex sealers, which are not intended for exposure to damp conditions. The cloudy haze appears when latex in the sealer begins to re-emulsify. Although I can't be sure without examining them, I would guess that this is the problem with your tiles. Since they were fired before they were sealed, it's highly unlikely that any moisture left over from the tile-forming process still remains in the body of the tile.
The cure is to identify the sealer, strip it with a safe, compatible stripper, and reapply an approved colorant and sealer. Unfortunately, it's probably impossible to find anyone who can tell you what sealer was used. This is because Saltillo pavers are made by families who sell to brokers who sell to larger brokers who sell to exporters who sell to distributors who sell to dealers. Since there is no industry standard for Saltillo pavers, it's always a matter of "buyer beware" — especially with presealed pavers.
I suggest that the installer contact the tile dealer and show him the problem. If the dealer is not helpful, ask for a few sample tiles to test. Go to the local paint store and buy a stripper designed for latex coatings. Try it out on a leftover or sample tile, or on an area of the floor that is out of sight. Be cautious, because using the wrong stripper may make the situation worse by discoloring the tile or driving the sealer in deeper, making restoration to the original tone and sheen virtually impossible. Good luck.

text: Amarillo, TX - More than one hundred wrecks kept troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety extremely busy Saturday night. Troopers responded to 119 accidents due to Saturday night's weather. Some were wrecks involving multiple vehicles, others were simply just to assist drivers that were stuck on the side of the road. At several points in the night, DPS actually exhausted every bit of its manpower, forcing troopers to have to prioritize which accidents they responded to first."We actually ran out of manpower a couple times because we were working so many crashes we couldn't get back to the ones that were stranded," said DPS Trooper Chris Ray. "So all in all, between our troopers and our communications operators, we put in some really long hours trying to make sure everybody was safe and taken care of."Although conditions aren't expected to be as bad in the coming days, DPS advises drivers to keep at least half a tank of gas in their car, food and water, and some blankets in case of a wreck or backed up traffic due to more accidents.

"Screw genetics! Screw aging! I want abs this summer… and arms that are somewhere between Madonna and Michelle Obama."
As a generation raised on Adderall and The Biggest Loser, Millennials don't feel limited by their DNA or what they see in the mirror. Given the right discipline, money, or tools they're confident they can make their bodies do or BE whatever they want. That might mean taking energy shots (delete that 2:30 feeling!) or implanting magnets under the skin (free wifi!). The singularity IS near!*
"That's the thing, it's not that much of a leap," said Cannon. "We've had pacemakers since the '70s." Brain implants are now being used to treat Parkinson's disease and depression. Scientists hope that brain implants might soon restore mobility to paralyzed limbs. The crucial difference is that grinders are pursuing this technology for human enhancement, without any medical need." - Cyborg America, The Verge.com
*"The end-game for all this is 'singularity': a state of super-intelligence that could entail endless implants and body modifications - and the end of humanity as we know it. A long time before we get there, however, will be the embracing of wearable technology by the internet's biggest brands; Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon." - Rise of the Bodyhackers, Techradar
"Biological evolution is too slow for the human species. Over the next few decades, it's going to be left in the dust." - Ray Kurzweil
Man, machine: they're merging for business and/or pleasure. Understand how you can support bodyhackers before they really mess themselves up.

A sharp economic downturn has changed consumer spending habits. People are saving more, reducing debt, and spending less. Rather than a temporary adjustment to economics conditions, however, some are arguing that we are seeing a shift in how people value their money and possessions. GEN-Y meanwhile, is inspired to live with less, shying away from the intense materialism of previous generations.

Some college basketball programs are synonymous with one name. When it comes to UNLV hoops, that name's Jerry Tarkanian. Even fewer names invoke a bigger love-hate relationship than Tark the Shark's.
Yet there's one unassailable fact when it comes to Tarkanian and hoops – the man won games at ridiculous rate.
And that reason makes UNLV is No. 20 among the greatest college basketball programs.
After all, unlike most of the schools on this list, the Runnin' Rebels haven't been playing hoops since before World War I. Their first season was 5-13 campaign in the 1958-59 season when the school was still Nevada Southern University (or "Tumbleweed Tech" depending on whom you asked). Yet the school didn't have another losing season until 1995.
So when a coach like Tarkanian spends 19 seasons in Vegas, wins 509 of 614 games (an .829 win percentage, better than Adolph Rupp), reaches four Final Fours and claims an NCAA title in 1990, it vaults a school without an excessively rich hoops history into the ranks of the elite.
The essential facts:
A .7127 win percentage, third best among NCAA schools, behind only Kentucky and North Carolina.
Three-three NCAA tournament victories, winning 69 percent of the time (a better percentage than Indiana and more wins than N.C. State or Temple) and all since 1975.
More regular-season conference crowns than Villanova, Georgetown and Michigan State.
Only six schools have spent more time atop the ranking than the Rebs' 32 weeks.
All of those numbers are impressive, but the best part about UNLV was the way it won games. Namely, the Rebs were fun to watch. They flew up and down the court, launched threes and always seemed to have NBA-caliber players coming in – and Tark was the reason why.
Tarkanian's teams always played phenomenal defense (his famed amoeba defense still earns plaudits). But when he arrived in Vegas he switched to an up-tempo, running offense to accommodate an undersized roster.
By 1977, he had his first Final Four team, a 29-3 squad that averaged more than 100 points a game that featured seven future NBA players, including a star in Reggie Theus. That year's champ, Marquette, coached by legendary Al McGuire, wanted nothing to do with the Rebs.
"If they get out of the gate quickly, we'd be in trouble, and if it comes down to a blacktop game, UNLV wins," he said at a UNLV banquet a few years ago.
Of course, that kind of success at a small, out-of-the-way school without any hoops heritage and with players that didn't seem up to the NCAA's snuff.
"The NCAA's always buggin' us," Theus told SI at the time. Tarkanian always claimed the NCAA unfairly targeted his program and his players.
Right or wrong, in 1977 the NCAA gave the school a two-year probation for alleged recruiting violations and ordered the school to suspend Tarkanian for a similar period. He appealed, won a state court injuction that allowed him to keep coaching and spent the next 13 years fighting the NCAA on its ruling, which gave the program a reputation that seemingly lived up to its Rebel mascot.
"Look, if they want to get you, they'll get you," added Jackie Robinson. "All schools do something illegal. They have to, because the money they are allowed to give the players isn't enough to live on. I was considering quitting school because I didn't have money for food and no parents to give me any. The place I lived in last year was like Watts, holes in the wall and everything."
UNLV didn't return to the Big dance until Tarkanian and his son, Danny, led the team to the first of nine straight NCAA tourney berths in 1983. The 1984 squad started 22-1 and reached the Sweet 16 (something current coach Lon Kruger and his son, Kevin, also did in 2007).
By 1987, the Rebs were scary good again, launching three-pointers at will and running to a 37-1 record before losing to eventual champion Indiana in the Final Four (where Freddie Banks would hit 10-of-19 3s en route to 38 points).
That started a ridiculous 129-21 four-year run for Vegas. Only Duke and Kentucky (under Rupp and Rick Pitino) won more game in a four-year span, while only Dean Smith's Heels racked up more wins the '80s.
That kind of let 'er rip offense set the stage for 1989-90 and one of the more memorable teams college basketball's seen in the past 25 years.
When Tark's team trounced Duke in the 1990 NCAA Championship, the Rebs' shot 61 percent from the field during a 103-73 victory and became the first school to score 100 points in a championship game. The 30-point margin of victory set another record as the title game's most lopsided ever.
Among NCAA champions, that team still holds record for scoring average (93.5), field goals made (1,356) and attempted (2,672) and assists (926; no other champ has more than 800).
With future NBA lottery picks like Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon and Greg Anthony on the roster, the the Rebs were on the brink of back-to-back titles until Duke pulled off one of the biggest stunners of all time. The 79-77 victory is, simply put, one of the greatest games the game's ever seen and snapped a 45-game winning streak, the fourth longest in NCAA history.
Until that loss, it made sense to stage a logical debate of where UNLV stood in the annuals of the "best teams of all time."
Much like this season's Memphis squad, the Rebs were cast as villains throughout the season, even if neither comparison was quite right.
The NCAA, on the other hand, focused on Tarkanian and his alleged infractions in the '70s. It had to lift a ban to allow the Rebs to defend their title in '91, but stood firm on a ban for the '92 tourney (UNLV would finish 26-2).
An indignant Tarkanian railed against the NCAA during the 1990 Final Four -- 'I didn't break any rules and the N.C.A.A. never had one shred of evidence against me, absolutely zero,'' he told the New York Times then. ''But there was a vendetta against me. Why, I don't know.''
He resigned a few months after the loss to Duke and changed his mind a few months later, which cast the hoops program into upheaval. The resignation stuck, which seemed to appease the NCAA.
(Tark had the last laugh. He settled his suit with the NCAA for $2.5 million in 1998, essentially paying Tarkanian for all the headaches it gave him while investigating. Was it wrong to investigate? The N.Y. Times reported that out that only 4 of the 13 players on the 1977 Final Four team received degrees. Only one of the four was a starter and another received his degree from another institution. Two of the 13 were unemployed as of last year, two worked as valets in Las Vegas, three are playing basketball, one is a security guard, one is a teacher, another a realtor, one a college coach, and another works in a paper mill. The end line? They could hoop.)
The NCAA issues didn't end with Tarkanian, though. The school was put on probation in 2000 stemming from recruiting violations.
Kruger was brought on for the 2004-05 season, hovered around .500 for a couple of years, but seems to have the program back onto its winning ways.
He guided the Rebs to back-to-back NCAA tourney berths and 57 wins the last two seasons, feats not seen since Tark was chewing on his towel.
Next Tuesday: No. 19 on the list of greatest programs.

"White House Down" isn't so much the second terrorists-take-over-the-White House movie in three months — after "Olympus Has Fallen" — as it is director Roland Emmerich's fourth remake of his 1996 blockbuster, "Independence Day." (It joins "Godzilla," "Day After Tomorrow" and "2012" as variations on a theme.) And the alien attack was much more plausible than this unintentionally hilarious action flick.
Channing Tatum stars as Secret Service wannabe John Cale, who, along with his 11-year-old daughter (Joey King), is in the White House when the most politically correct group of terrorists you've ever seen takes over. Cale ends up being the guy who has to protect the president (Jamie Foxx, who seems to think he's in an "In Living Color" sketch).
'White House Down'
Opens Friday, June 28, at theaters everywhere; rated PG-13 for violence; 137 minutes.

There are some great action scenes and special effects, but the increasingly ludicrous plot will leave you howling with laughter when it reaches what's supposed to be the big, dramatic climax. Which is followed by still more stupidity.
"White House Down" is not without entertainment value — it's a hoot. But you're laughing at it, not with it.

Sometimes, a writer inadvertently creates an Alternate History, which causes problems when referencing later events. The reason? Real life has simply progressed beyond the fictional events, meaning that the work suddenly becomes inaccurate. Adventure thrillers are especially vulnerable to this, as they are often written Twenty Minutes into the Future. Sometimes, the writer will refer to later events such as 9-11, In Spite of a Nail. In other cases, what was a series of adventure novels experiences a Genre Shift and becomes some kind of science-fiction or true Alternate History. The science-fiction version is a special case, where dates or rates of technological advance become invalidated by the march of time. Zeerust is an aesthetic version, where "futuristic" designs wind up dated. The title comes from a famous newspaper headline. The Chicago Tribune printed the predicted winner of the 1948 presidential election on its front page. By morning, the headline was proven wrong. See The Great Politics Mess-Up for a particularly frequently encountered example.

Day 6 at TPC Southwind: Moving Day
June 8, 2013
By: Glenn Hill II
MEMPHIS, TN- Saturday's on the PGA TOUR are moving days. Now that their weekend status is solidified, players amp up their play to move up the leader board to put themselves in contention on Sunday.Holding the lead for the first time on the PGA TOUR, second round leader Harris English posted a seemingly lackluster 1 under par 69 in comparison to his blistering 66 and 64 he posted in his first two rounds.
"I kinda hung in there all day, I never really got ahead of myself, and I stayed calm all day" is how English describes his highly turbulent round with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys on the front, followed by a string of 8 consecutive pars from holes 11 to 17. After finally departing from the seemingly infinite par train with a birdie on 18, English describes the final birdie as a "really good feeling" that could maybe propel him into 4 straight sub par rounds here at TPC Southwind tomorrow.
With another under par round of golf, English could walk away with the title of champion at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, but lurking up the leader board is a highly qualified field that will be in contention come Sunday afternoon.
"I think it's anybody's ball game now."
With names like Stallings, Mickelson, Harrington, and defending champion Dustin Johnson all within 6 shots of English, his prediction might turn out to be true.
But, even with his phenomenal play, English is not the leader of the tournament.
Firing a thunderous 66 with a couple of hiccups and scary moments in between, final round leader Shawn Stefani has charged up this leader board, stunning the field with his insatiable work ethic and unyielding focus in the midst of disaster.
This 31 year-old rookie embodies what exactly what the PGA TOUR has always championed: hard work, humility, and perseverance.
That's what it takes to play this game, and Stefani exemplified all of those characteristics on an especially tough third round.
Stefani got off to a great start on his front 9, rattling of 3 birdies to go out with a 32. "You know, I was playing so well though the first 10 holes, and was really feeling comfortable with my golf swing." After a nice birdie on the par 4 10th, Stefani's confidence was on an all time-high, as he experiences his first PGA TOUR lead.
But trouble was soon to follow.
Looming in the distance was that treacherous island green that is the par 3 11th at TPC Southwind. With the wind howling and swirling from different directions, it was a challenge to determine the wind's magnitude and direction during the moment of the tee shot. Juggling between a wedge and a 9-iron, Stefani chose the wedge and later said, "it was a mistake on a club with the wind, you know. And actually, I hit the shot the way I wanted too, but a gust kinda came up and knocked it in the water."
Unfortunate, but no big deal, right? It's only Saturday and it's only one stroke he would be giving up, wouldn't he?
No, it's a big deal.
After hitting hit in the water, Stefani's third stroke found him in the bunker, as well as his fourth, resulting in a highly surprising and disappointing quadruple bogey on a par 3. That's a seven.
But that really isn't the big deal.
No, the big deal is how Shawn Stefani handled his debacle on 11. While most golfers would have been flustered and taken out of their game, Stefani took a different approach. He stared adversity straight in the eyes and awakened a resolve deep within him to attack the golf course with unrelenting tenacity. Stefani decided to use those skills that brought him to the PGA TOUR as well as to his current lead at the FedEx St. Jude Classic: humility, hard work, and perseverance.
Before his predicament on 11, Stefani had a two shot lead. After making his seven, he was two shots behind.
How did he get his lead back?
First, he humbled himself. Stefani understood that these mistakes often happen, it's golf. He put the past behind him and moved on to the next holes. "Just stay patient, keep swinging the way you've been swinging, and see what happens."
Second, he worked hard. Stefani played his last seven holes in 4 under par to completely cancel out his quadruple bogey on 11. To lose a lead a come back from such a deficit takes hard work, but it also requires another important element.
Finally, he persevered. Comebacks are not easy. On the par 4 15th Stefani found trouble again, hitting his second shot into the creek that runs in front of the green. But Stefani persevered; after his drop, he chipped in for par to stay even and not lose any ground on that hole. He then rattled off three consecutive birdies to finish off his third round with a 66 and an one shot lead heading into the final round.
What can we learn from Shawn Stefani today?
Stefani's third round mirrors his life and his desire to always be on the PGA TOUR. It is not always a clear-cut path to the PGA TOUR. Things happen and it's always a grind to arrive and stay on tour. Stefani credits his family as the motivating factor to his attitude and work ethic. "Not one person in my corner ever told me to give up...you believe in yourself and keep doing all of the right things, and when things don't go your way it's tough. But I never gave up hope. I just kept working and working and working."
Just like his own life, today Stefani showed what he was made of and what he does when faced with adversity. He just keeps "working and working and working." A lesson for all of us, and an inspiration for me to always work hard and persevere through whatever I do.

The SEAT Alhambra is adding the new 140 hp 2.0 TDI engine to its diesel range to replace the 130 hp 1.9 TDI. This new version, which is already available on the SEAT commercial network, is sold with a manual six-speed gearbox and can be combined with the Reference, Stylance and Sport trim lines.
The 103 kW 2.0 TDI engine, with four cylinders and a system featuring pump-injector units, reaches its maximum power of 140 hp at 4000 rpm and its peak torque of 310 Nm at 1900 rpm. This engine, which is combined with a manual six-speed gearbox, meets the minimum standards required by the European Union EU4 emission standard. It powers the Alhambra to a top speed in excess of 192 km/h and accelerates the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 12.2 seconds (top speed of 188 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 12.8 seconds for the 130 hp version).
The new Alhambra engine also features the DPF diesel particulate filter system, which works without additives by using the temperature of the exhaust gases to regenerate the system. For this reason, the filter is positioned very close to the engine. This filter outlives the car and does not require any maintenance.
The arrival of the 140 hp 2.0 engine completes a wide engine range for the SEAT MPV, which in its petrol versions offers the 2.0 developing 115 hp (85 kW), the 1.8 20VT developing 150 hp (110 kW) and the 2.8 V6 developing 204 hp (150 kW). The diesel range offers a choice of three TDI versions with pump-injector systems that develop 90, 115 and 140 hp respectively.
In combination with the 2.8 V6 and 115 hp 1.9 TDI engines, the 4 versions with full traction are offered. These two engines, plus the 1.8 20VT developing 150 hp, can be fitted with a Tiptronic automatic sequential 5-speed gearbox

AWeber Email Marketing Tips
How To Flip Criticism Of Your Product On Its Head
AWard-winning, top-performing ads provide an awful lot of inspiration for business growth, whether you're a newbie or a seasoned marketer.
Gleaning information from the very best takes quite a lot of research, but since we already planned to do this for our own purposes, we put together a four-part series breaking down what exactly made each of these highly lauded ads work.
Let's start with one timeless commercial that smashed a stereotype of a popular company's product…
"Hey, Mikey!"
Many people are familiar with Mikey from the Life cereal commercials. In 1966, Quaker Oats ran the "Three Brothers" commercial that featured Mikey. This commercial is now in the CLIO Hall of Fame.
Watch it here:
Why This Commercial Worked For Quaker Oats
A number of factors played into why this hit commercial became so popular and effective:
- Quaker Oats knew their target demographic was kids. The Baby Boom was happening in the 60s and a huge percent of the population was children. So they focused on that group when designing the commercial.
- They also knew about their target demographic's mindset. They knew that kids tend to stay away from food that is considered healthy.
- And they knew Life cereal was perceived as a healthy cereal that kids wouldn't enjoy.
Instead of just giving up on their target demographic, Quaker Oats did something about it. They noted the stereotype that was dragging down their sales. They acknowledged it to the world and they built their story around that opposite idea.
What You Can Do
There are three lessons that you can learn from Quaker Oats:
- Do your research. Make sure you know your audience and what they're thinking.
- Anticipate objections. If you do your research, you should be able to figure out what pain points you'll have when marketing your product. If you don't, do more research!
- Own the conversation. You don't need to film a commercial to address a negative appraisal. If anyone criticizes your company on social media, it's not the end of the world – in fact, it's an opportunity. To do what Quaker Oats did in the case of Mikey, take control of the conversation.
Acknowledge the criticism publicly and if it's legitimate, take proactive steps to fix the problem. As you go along, keep the conversation public. Post about each step. In fact, you could even make a hashtag for the issue.
By posting your updates and asking for feedback using your hashtag, you'll be able to own the conversation.
What's Next?
Next up, we'll look at how one ad became famous by targeting a specific niche. If you're not already getting our blog email broadcasts, make sure you don't miss it this next analysis by subscribing to them in the form below!

Sometimes i receive refunds from my core product, so it could only mean that some people (just a little bit of people) had issues with my product – thus requesting the refund. I used to sell a different multi-component product in a different niche at a low price, and INCREDIBLE bonuses. But still some people still refund, despite the fact that i was receiving good reviews from other customers. I've just learned to ignore the refunds, and focus on the core of the people who enjoyed my product.9/10/2013 7:08 pm
Nice post Crystal! We have negativity in the carpet cleaning industry as well. lots of misconceptions we have to battle through. Lots of bait and switch advertising and bad work to boot. Social proof on my Facebook page and website of dust, dirt and overall funk that comes out of peoples rugs, furniture and carpet is how we deal with a lot of the questions that are asked.9/11/2013 11:08 am
You will never please all the people all the time. It would be like expecting everyone that goes past a shop to go inside it and buy something. It just wont happen.9/12/2013 2:15 pm
The bottom line is to be making a living with enough spare for fun times and investment plus a bit for rainy days and the pension. Head in the clouds but feet on the ground.
I am thinking that the best way to avoid criticism is to avoid little white lies. But if criticism is already existing then it should be acknowledged and then emphasize the benefit of the product.9/26/2013 12:24 am
It's like when Eminem in the movie 8 mile dissed himself before his opponent could attack him and he won the rap battle.10/4/2013 11:48 pm

Scott Niedermayer modest about Hockey Hall of Fame honor
Toronto, ON, Canada (4E Sports) – Scott Niedermayer's name has often been mentioned among prospective inductees for 2013 Hall of Fame.
But the No. 3 pick in the 1991 draft has been reluctant to tout personal accolades.
"When people bring it up, I just say, 'Oh, that's great, thank you,' and just leave it at that. I've always tried to be focused on what you can control in the moment. That's out of my hands at this point," he said.
In 18 NHL seasons, Niedermayer has won the 2004 Norris Trophy, four Stanley Cup rings, two Olympic gold medals, a Memorial Cup, a World Championship gold medal, a World Junior Championship gold, a World Cup gold and the Conn Smythe Trophy.
At no point during his 18 NHL seasons did the star defenseman even hint that his own accomplishments outweighed those of his team.
"That's just my personality. I'm a guy who likes to go about my business and let things fall where they may," said Niedermayer.
More than two years since announcing his retirement, Niedermayer speculates that less modesty could be an asset in his post-playing career.
"Now it would pay if I was a little more outgoing at different times. Maybe there are moments when it [modesty] is not the best thing, but I'm sure there will still be times when it comes in handy, I guess," said Niedermayer.
He described being in the Hall of Fame as "a heck of an honor."

Brussels lights way ahead for Euro book digi library
The European Union has promised a rapid reaction to the threat posed to Europe's cultural heritage by Google Books, deploying the twin weapons of a "stakeholder dialogue" and an impact assessment. The move follows Brussels' decision to deploy 12 million pages of European documents online, including the classic 1953 Report on the …
Stakeholders decide orphaned works
Oh boy. Why does it need to be so complicated? To digitize a book to make it searchable is fair use. Each search is also fair use.
The only point at which it would be anything other than fair use is if enough of the digital copy was let out as to be detrimental to the value of the book. As it is, search of books is beneficial to everyone.
Legal liability means that any search engine will ensure they don't let out more than a snippet at a time. Except where they have a license.
Orphaned works are still in copyright, you don't have a license so you can't make the book available for anything more than snippets without risking copyright infringement lawsuits. The copyright will eventually expire, the book is not lost to the world, because it has been digitized. At that point it can be made available.
There was nothing wrong with Google's original plan, and any other company could have done the same. Amazon for example. The only problem in Europe is because you didn't codify fair use, so you made it difficult for EU companies to scan books.
To me this is simple, whenever the EU has interfered in IP markets, it has been to create a few big lazy players who do nothing. Look at the database market as an example... you can't even make a list of books similar to another list of books without being sued. So what's needed here is for the EU to stop listening to stakeholders (i.e. vested interests), recognise that fair-use should be codified and let the market get on and do it.
Thank God McCreevey only has a few weeks left....

Hiroyuki Konuma
FAO Regional Representative for Asia-Pacific
Hiroyuki KonumaAssistant Director-General and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific
delivered at the
FAORAP, Bangkok, Thailand8 December 2011
Mr. LeRoy Hollenbeck, Head of UNAPCAEM, Distinguished representatives from the diplomatic missions and from regional organisationsLadies and Gentlemen:
It is my pleasure to welcome you all here today, to participate in this Round Table on Developing Environmentally Sustainable Agricultural Mechanisation Strategies for Countries in the Asia-Pacific Region, organized jointly by UNAPCAEM and FAO. FAO is particularly pleased to collaborate with UNAPCAEM in the organisation and implementation of this Roundtable.
At a global level there is no alternative but to increase agricultural productivity or crop yield per unit area; and associated total and individual factor productivities, or biological output per unit of total production input, and output per unit of individual factors of production such as energy, nutrients, water, labour, land and capital, to meet global food, feed and biofuel demand and to alleviate hunger and poverty. This scenario, indeed poses a great challenge for this region where population density is in many areas very high and population growth continues, while land and water resources are getting to their limits for providing food and other agricultural outputs.
Agricultural intensification has, until now, had a negative effect on the quality of many essential resources such as soil, water, land, biodiversity and ecosystem services resulting in declining yield and factor productivity growth rates. Another challenge for agriculture is its environmental foot print and the impact of climate change. Agriculture is responsible for about 30 % of the total greenhouse gas emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, while being directly affected by the consequences of a changing climate.
The new paradigm of "sustainable production intensification" recognizes the need for productive and remunerative agriculture that conserves and enhances the natural resource base and environment, and which positively contributes to the delivery of environmental services. Sustainable crop production intensification must not only reduce the impact of climate change on crop production but must also mitigate the factors that cause climate change by reducing emissions and by contributing to carbon sequestration in soils. Intensification should also enhance biodiversity in crop production systems both above and below the ground in order to improve ecosystem services for better productivity and a healthier environment. This concept is very well described in the recent FAO publication titled "Save and Grow", which explains how agricultural practices in the future, could still result in increased production while conserving the natural resource base.
The functionality of environmentally friendly agricultural management practices is highly dependent on suitable mechanization technologies. Agricultural mechanization removes the drudgery associated with agricultural labour, overcomes time and labour bottlenecks to perform tasks within optimum time windows, and can influence the environmental footprint of agriculture, leading to sustainable impacts.
Agricultural mechanization generally addresses issues of farm power and increasing the efficiency of agricultural labour. The impacts of mechanization in the crop sector are, however, varied in that it can have both positive and negative impacts. The positive impact of mechanisation lies in its contribution to reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture, while its negative impact relates to the acceleration of environmental degradation.
While recognizing the importance of market mechanisms, the direction taken by agricultural mechanization should not only be left to market forces, particularly in view of the fact that environmental sustainability is not yet well reflected in market economies. Sustainable Mechanization strategies must, therefore, address much more than the technical and socio-economic aspects of agricultural mechanization.
While it is important to facilitate the establishment of an enabling environment with appropriate infrastructure for the agricultural mechanization sector to flourish and to provide the services necessary for success, it is equally important to provide guidance on the type of technologies used in agriculture to achieve the dual goals of intensifying production and achieving environmental sustainability. The latter is particularly important for this region which is already beginning to face serious environmental challenges to maintain its agricultural production base.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The formulation of sustainable agricultural mechanization strategy is a complex undertaking and is not as straightforward as it may seem, at a first glance. It is firstly important to underscore that agricultural mechanization is not an end in itself, but must be guided by policies and strategies if it is to result in increased productivity from finite resources, with minimal negative environmental impact.
Within the current global economic paradigm the crucial role of the private sector must be recognized. The mechanization technology supply chain from manufacturer to end user must provide livelihood opportunities to all participating stakeholders and this is what will provide sustainability to the process. At the same time the public sector also has a crucial role to play in providing an enabling socio-economic environment within which mechanization technology supply chains can function effectively while reflecting the objectives of agricultural production growth and environmental protection. This will include provision and improvements to infrastructure and utility supply, as well as encouraging the supply of raw materials and markets for end products via supportive fiscal and import duty regimes.
Support for local manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery is important if local manufacturers are to operate in a friendly environment in which their products can be competitively priced. The supply of manufacturing input supplies should be ensured at prices that permit competitive domestic production. Dealer networks should be encouraged with the necessary local incentives which allow them to function in an equitable economic environment without being subjected to destructive taxation regimes. End users and farmers, should be encouraged to act cooperatively to capture more attractive prices for their products and to improve their bargaining power for inputs, and particularly farm machinery inputs. Access to finance must also facilitated through public sector policies and actions which reduce the risk of exposure of the essential private sector actors.
Political support for local manufacture within a rational agricultural mechanization strategy can have a dramatic impact on the success of local industries, resulting in a positive effect on national agricultural productivity, on world markets and last but not least on environmental sustainability. The success of the Indian and Chinese agricultural machinery industries provides a good example of what can be achieved through the application of judicious supportive policies. Currently, India is the world's market leader in tractor production, and China is rapidly catching up, with the inclusion of elements of environmentally sustainable mechanization such as the promotion of Conservation Agriculture.
Other good examples of mechanization policies addressing the above sectors exist in the region. The spectrum covered is very broad, ranging from reducing soil degradation by introducing no-till technologies, more sustainable water management with irrigation technologies, to reducing the pressure on production by reducing post harvest losses with better storage and processing facilities.
FAO has, over the past decades, assisted member countries with the development of agricultural mechanization strategies, encouraging private sector involvement and a demand driven, market oriented approach, while at the same time stressing the importance of environmental sustainability of farming. All of this is very well documented in the FAO publication Save and Grow.
A key output of our deliberations over the next two days will be the elaboration of a framework for the development of SAMS. We have two full days of discussions and deliberations ahead of us to think around and discuss all of the issues I have highlighted here today within the context of the various scenarios that exist across this region. I would, therefore, like to end by wishing you a productive outcome to your deliberations and look forward to the outputs of this roundtable.
Thank You.

Boots that look great and fit snug all around. With three adjustment straps: inner liner (pull on the inner cords and you feel it snug all down to the ankle and lower), tow area (pull on the outside cord), and shin (pull on the top brown cord). The inner cord even has a nice lever to flip from lock to unlock mode. They feel very stiff and firm to me... but I'm coming from 17 year old soft boots! I only wish there were pockets to store the cord handles.
Very nicee

I tried on a LOT of boots and found these to fit the best. This liner has some extra straps and support around the heel that really lock you in. There's a decent amount of room in the toe box, and the boots fit I think a little small to size.
It's not the stiffest boot ever, especially on the heel edge, but for a good all around boot with some give and a sick look and feel I'm very happy

Janet Jackson - Heart, Beat, Love
Artist: Janet Jackson
Producer: Rodney "Darkchild" Jenkins
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 26 total votes )
If there was an award for the most unexpected collab ever, Janet Jackson's (potential) new single Heart, Beat, Love would be up for a nomination. At first glance we have a random crew of musicians on Heart, Beat, Love, but the combination is nothing less than a certified pop hit. First and foremost is the legendary Janet Jackson, the ringleader of this circus-like song whose smooth and sexy vocals are erotically draped over a Darkchild production that's sure to be a dance club favorite. With a foundation like that you know they had to get fiery Latino emcee Pitbull, who delivers yet another exciting performance. Add in Machel Montano and Booth favorites Rock City (who appear briefly but are effective in keeping the song lively) and you can see that Janet did her research on which newcomers are making the clubs rock. Keep it locked to the Booth for more music from this array of artists and the latest updates on Janet's currently untitled next project.

Pending the signature of Gov. Perdue, it will soon be illegal to text while driving.
In sweeping legislation, the Senate and the House also voted to ban teens from using cell phone while driving. The two bills, one of the sponsors said, would significantly change the culture of Georgia's roads forever.
"This is a good day for Georgia because we have addressed a dangerous, growing trend – texting while driving," said Rep. Allen Peake (R-Macon).
The two bills that passed were:
•HB 23, sponsored by Rep. Matt Ramsey (R-Peachtree City), which bans Class D drivers – mostly teens – from talking on their cell phones while driving.
•SB 360, which would ban texting by all drivers. Sponsored by Sen. Jack Murphy (R-Cumming), the bill will be known as the Caleb Sorohan Act, named after a Morgan County teenager who died while texting.
"A year ago, Rep. Ramsey tried to pass this bill," said David Belton, a member of the Morgan County Board of Education. "If that bill had been a law then,

The General Assembly late Thursday passed legislation that could open the door to more reservoirs statewide and cost the city of Atlanta millions in revenue.
The bill passed the House late last year, and the Senate on Tuesday of this week.
The bill, HB 406, was intended to help build one reservoir in south Fulton. But late Thursday, it was broadened. The city of Atlanta lost assurances it would hold onto $125 million a year in new sales taxes to make up for the loss of revenue from water customers in south Fulton.
At mid-afternoon, it looked like it could die after the House refused to agree to the Senate version. But the Senate later backed off, allowing it to head to the desk of the governor.
Rep. Mike Coan (R-Lawrenceville) said the governor wanted the legislation, which he said will enable construction of a reservoir in south Fulton County to relieve pressure on the Chattahoochee River and Lake Lanier.
Some House members voiced concern about the impact on other regions of
On the last day of the legislative session Gov. Sonny Perdue made a rare visit to the Senate chamber to give his farewell address and help usher out the session.
"I really wanted to come a congratulate you all on what I believe was one of the most production sessions you could have had," Perdue told senators. "It was 106 days ago that I stood before you to ask you do the hard work. That was the challenge and I believe history will reflect that you have done that."
Perdue praised members of the Senate in passing "historic" bills on water conservation, transportation and ethics.
"And when we faced a financial situation unlike many Georgians have seen, you passed a budget filled with right things," Perdue said. "You made the tough choices."
In what is his final session, Perdue was a bit reflective. He talked about the tough times during his eight years in office. He said Georgians have had a history of coming together when facing important issues.
"No other administration has had

The Georgia House gave final approval Thursday to legislation allowing Clayton County residents to vote on paying an additional 1 percent sales tax to fund C-Tran, the county's mass transit system. House Bill 1393 raises the cap on the sales tax counties can levy. It also extends the exemption from motor fuel taxes for public transit for another two years.
The measure sets up the possibility of an imminent sales tax vote in Clayton County. However, the transit measure would have to be green-lighted by the Clayton County commission, which voted 4-1 to cancel its bus service in the first place. The commission's vice chairman, Wole Ralph, has said that he has concerns about such a referendum, and whether county tax money would be used to bail out cash-strapped MARTA.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Roberta Abdul-Salaam (D-Riverdale), said passage of the bill opens up a way to "a quality and affordable public transportation system for the people of Clayton County."
The House and Senate gave final approval to a $17.9 billion budget for the upcoming year that cuts education spending but keeps alive arts programs and provides $10 million to buy land for the new College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
The House had eliminated the Georgia Council for the Arts from the upcoming year's budget. But budget negotiators agreed to provide $790,735 in state funding next year to keep the council going.
Basic funding for schools and colleges was cut more than $600 million in the budget for fiscal 2011, which begins July 1. That will mean furloughs and layoffs in local school systems and sharply higher tuition at universities and colleges.
The recession has caused the state to cut back in many areas. Two of Gov. Sonny Perdue's bond projects – one to expand a horse facility at the state fairgrounds in his home Houston County and another aimed at supplying money for rural economic development – were slashed from the budget.
However, House and Senate

With time running out on this year's legislative session, the Georgia House has just passed a bill to expand the places where licensed gun owners may carry.
The bill passed 118 to 48. It has to go back to the Senate for approval of some House committee changes.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg), would allow licensed gun owners to carry in non-secure areas of airports, in bars where the owners allow it and in the parking lots of colleges, courthouses and jails.
It would eliminate the 1,000-foot limitation on guns at schools and colleges and has been one of the most hotly debated bills of the 2010 General Assembly session, which ends at midnight today.

It will soon be against the law for adults to text while driving. The senate voted 48-0 to agree to the conference committee report on SB 360, which would ban texting, as well as the use of the Internet or email for anyone with a Class C license.
The bill now goes back to the House for a final agreement.
A similar bill is lingering in the House that would ban teens from texting.

Rep. Austin Scott (R-Tifton) will challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Ga.) in the 8th congressional district, eschewing a bid for governor.
Scott has been one of several candidates seeking the GOP nomination for governor but has been unable to attract the money of many of the other top contenders.
While a rumor surfaced in the past two weeks that he would challenge incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle instead, Scott confirmed to the AJC on Thursday that he will qualify to run for Congress.
Scott will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. Friday at the Capitol to discuss his decision and to qualify for the bid.
Marshall's position as a Democrat in a central Georgia district that has a trend line toward the right has made him a popular target for state and national Republicans. In a campaign season where the GOP has good reason to be optimistic they can reclaim the U.S. House.
Marshall barely held on to his seat in 2006, when he took 50.5 percent of the vote. But he rebounded

A long-promised property tax reform bill — promising annual assessments and longer appeal time — received final passage from the General Assembly Thursday.
"With the passage of SB 346, we will protect taxpayers from unfair assessments and guarantee the right to appeal," Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock said). "While this is a huge victory for Georgia property owners, it's only part of the solution to providing a system that actually works With the passage of SB 346, we will protect taxpayers from unfair assessments and guarantee the right to appeal."
The bill, considered the most sweeping overhaul of Georgia's property tax system, would:
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Georgia is one of the top 10 states in the country in deer-related auto accidents. Now, drivers can get some just desserts – or dinner.
The Senate gave final passage to SB 474, which allows drivers to keep any bear or deer that they might run over. The so-called Road Kill Bill, carried by Sen. Don Thomas of Dalton, passed 47-0.
"This is hot of the grill," Thomas said, tongue planted firmly in cheek. "And I urge you to support it."
According to the bill, "Any person may take possession of native wildlife which has been killed by a motor vehicle."
That was not always the case – at least with bears.
In the past, if someone hit and killed a bear, the Department of Natural Resources could take it to mount or place in a museum.
Thomas said drivers now have the option to keep their bears as long as they report the accident to DNR within 48 hours. They don't have to report a deer strike.

"The 'teeth' you see in the photo […] aren't the same as the things you and I carry around in our gums. Unlike lizards and mammals, somewhere during their evolution birds lost the ability to produce enamel. Enamel is the tough white stuff that coats our teeth and which makes them so hard. So those goose teeth won't be as hard as your own but they would still come in handy cutting through things like grass. They would also let the goose get a better grip on slippery things like snails. What this photo shows is a row of sharp points, or serrations, inside the beak. Scientists have a word to describe those serrated birds' 'teeth'. They call them tomia." (via Mark David)

The coolest falcon I ever met + gpoy with an owl, two years ago. I took a LOT of photos of these birds (and the castle in the background) and only edited & published a few. Might be time to take a second look at that folder. Was thinking about Ireland this week since it's St. Patrick's Day (on Sunday). This was about three weeks before my mom died, so I was sad, but I remember this trip and these birds were a bright spot.
