- Fort Ord: Monterey Downs developers say proposed race track complex will fill numerous voids
Over the objections of about a dozen speakers, the Marina Coast Water District board approved the water supply assessment for the proposed Monterey Downs project Tuesday, though perhaps only temporarily.
After opposing the measure, board member Jan Shriner voted with Bob Lee, Ken Nishi and Howard Gustafson to approve it so she can bring it back for consideration under parliamentary rules in the future. Shriner is expected to be part of a progressive majority when newly elected Peter Le and Tom Moore join the board in December.
The sitting board could vote again if a special meeting is called in advance.
The water assessment concluded that the Monterey Downs project will require 852 acre-feet of water per year, while Seaside and Monterey County, whose jurisdictions the project straddles, have only 382 acre-feet of unallocated water, enough to supply an initial phase. The remainder would have to come from as-yet unapproved and unfunded desalination or recycled water projects.
The equestrian-themed project on Parker Flats would include 1,500 residential units, plus retail, office and sport facilities for athletes and horses. It would also include the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery and Seaside's new corporation yard.
Monterey Downs managing partner Brian Boudreau said the existing water allocation would be sufficient for most of the houses in the project, which are planned in the first phase.
Though agricultural interests are balking at sharing recycled water with Peninsula housing interests, Boudreau believes they will not block Monterey Downs.
"They like us a lot," he said, referring to the list of supporters on Monterey Downs' website. "They know it's good for the community."
Numerous speakers objected to passage of the assessment, which will be part of the project's environmental impact review. Some complained they had insufficient time to review it over a holiday weekend; others said they couldn't access it at all on the district's website.
Additionally, several pointed out inconsistencies between figures cited in the assessment and those included in earlier reports by the water district, the Fort Ord Reuse Authority and other agencies.
One inconsistency was the report's assertion, based on the cemetery's master plan, that it would include no grass. Cemetery advocate Jack Stewart said after the meeting it was a "faulty" assertion and water-needs assessment because the cemetery would include drought-tolerant grass.
Opponent Sue Hawthorne objected after the meeting that public speaking had been cut off when board member Nishi asked Monterey Downs developer Beth Palmer to explain the purpose of the assessment. Palmer said it was only to allow the California Environmental Quality Act process to move forward and would have no role in final approval of site maps.
"We have a lame duck board voting on something they haven't read based on the assurance of the developer that it's the right thing to do," Hawthorne said.
After the meeting, Palmer and Boudreau said their project would actually save the Peninsula water by storing more recycled water than it needs in a pond in the middle of its horse-racing track. The water, as much as 600 acre-feet per year, is currently dumped in the ocean in winter months, they said.
Also Tuesday, the board voted to extend the contract of general manager Jim Heitzman, with Shriner again seeking to bring the matter back for reconsideration.
Heitzman has come under fire in the wake of the failed regional desalination project. Nishi said Heitzman is the only person who can possibly recoup the $10 million the district lost in the project, which failed after revelations came to light about potential conflicts of interest posed by former county water board member Steve Collins' work with a private firm that eventually won a $25 million contract to manage the project.
Collins is in the midst of a preliminary hearing to determine if he will stand charges on numerous felony and misdemeanor counts in connection with that work.

After a close election and a drawn-out recount process, former Congressman Allen West has said he has no plans to run again for office. The Congressman from Florida was popular around the country with grassroots conservatives and made waves on multiple occasions for provocative rhetoric, but nonetheless failed to garner the votes necessary for re-election.

Annual event at UM-Dearborn helps students and their families with financial aid forms
January 12, 2009
DEARBORN / Jan. 12, 2009---Families with children who are seeking to enter college can receive help completing their college financial aid forms at the University of Michigan-Dearborn on Sunday, Feb. 8.
The event, called College Goal Sunday, will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in a new campus location this year: the Fairlane Center South building, located at 19000 Hubbard Drive.
During the event, the Fairlane Center will offer computer access for families to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
College Goal Sunday, which began in Indiana in 1989, will serve 29 Michigan communities this year. This is UM-Dearborns fifth year participating in the national program.
"Families are often intimidated by completing the FAFSA and make the mistake of delaying the application, or not applying at all," said Sally Foster, senior financial aid officer. "Completing the FAFSA is one of the first steps that a student can take to help maximize the opportunity for financial aid."
Financial aid professionals from UM-Dearborn's Office of Financial Aid will be joined by representatives from the University as well as financial aid officers from other area colleges to help students and their families complete the FAFSA.
The FAFSA completed online at the event is the primary means to determine eligibility for most loans, grants and other aid nationwide, according to Foster. To complete the FAFSA, parents or students should bring their family's most recent tax return (2008 or 2007), and their 2008 W-2 forms and other income records, information on the value of savings and checking accounts and investments as well as a drivers license or state identification card. Students younger than 23 years old are encouraged to attend with a parent or guardian.
For more information about the College Goal Sunday event, visit www.micollegegoal.org or call UM-Dearborns Office of Financial Aid at 313-593-5300 for more information.

Al Capone was one of the dominant figures of the Roaring Twenties, a larger-than-life kingpin who ran Chicago like a personal fiefdom and whose influence spread far beyond the Windy City. But when he was finally brought to justice, he was tried for tax evasion and not his many more spectacular crimes.
Drawing on newly discovered evidence and commentary from scholars who have made Capone their life's work, INVESTIGATING HISTORY sheds new light on the fate of the fabled mobster. See how a group of businessmen known as "the Secret Six" decided to put an end to Capone's reign after the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and how they worked with the government to make it happen. And find out what role Eliot Ness really played in Capone's capture.

Cable offers hundreds of HD channels that won't break up in bad weather and are available whenever you want. It provides On Demand entertainment as well as movies, TV shows, and local programming.

Cable TV in Call, TX
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Cable Internet in Call
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Call residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Texas grew to 67% by 2010.

Love that pearly Adriatic for all the plants and animals this gentle maritime climate supports. All around this narrow sea in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro are skies full of seabirds, waters full of sea life, and a wide range of plants with their preferences for sandy or rocky beaches, just like you.
Italy, rough and wild, yields natural beauty easily on a par with its cultural treasures. In the Alps expect chamois and goats, evergreens and tiny Alpine flowers; in the Apennines are specially adapted species or wolf and lynx, as well as bear and fox. Contrast that with the drier, Mediterranean climate in Sardinia and Sicily, where honeybees and olive trees flourish and the air is scented with pine and rosemary. In the vales of Umbria are broadleaf forests with beech, oak, maple, ash and some conifers for good measure. Don't miss a gorgeous walk on the heights of San Marino, a short (crow's) flight from the coast with Panavision views of the hills tumbling towards the sea.
Almost two thirds of Slovenia is forested, with virgin tracts remaining not far from Lubjlana. You'll see evergreens and deciduous trees, wild mushrooms, chestnuts, and berries, according to the season. Flowers are rampant in Slovenia but leave them in the ground in the mountains, where the many rare species are protected. While you're in the woods, keep an eye out for roe deer, squirrels and the occasional wolf, lynx, ibex, wildcat, capercaillie and pheasant if you're really fortunate. There are bears in the woods but they're the shy type.
Croatia is a land of varied habitats: sunny and warm on the coast, a bit more invigorating in the highlands, and wide open on the golden plains of Pannonia. Visit the t two arboretums, one in Trsteno, near Dubrovnik, the other in Opeka, near Vinica, to survey Croatian flora all in one place. Sail the azure blue waters of the Adriatic and discover the island that is one of the last habitats of the griffon vulture in Europe. You can put to sea with an adopted dolphin or, if you're really lucky, encounter the mysterious and rare Mediterranean monk seal.
Slip further south along the coast to stunning Montenegro and the most celebrated fjord in verse, as well as high mountains such as Durmitor, Bjelasica, Komovi. These crags offer an unforgettable experience with their hidden lakes, numerous pastures, forests, pointed peaks, diverse flora and fauna, fast mountain rivers and imposing canyons.
Central Europe is eager to welcome you to discover its treasures!
Warm Mediterranean hospitality will linger in your memories.
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.

I have applied for job positions in Patterson and Modesto. Going back to college part time, I have applied for many positions. I often get an interview with companies I apply for, but the question they ask that leaves me jobless is, "Are you bilingual?"
I say yes, I speak English, and I know sign language. They always respond with, "I need a Spanish speaker, but thanks, anyways."
There is a dental office in Patterson that has contacted me three times. The second and third time, I thought, well, maybe they want to give me a shot, even though I don't speak Spanish. The dentist set me up for a job interview.
The last question she asked me over the phone was, "Are you bilingual?" My response was yes.
"Spanish, you know Spanish?" I told her no again, and she responded with "Oh, never mind, have a good day."
How is it fair that I, an American, have to learn Spanish to obtain a job in my own country? If I went to another country, they would not bend over backwards and be accommodating to me simply because I don't know their language.
I applied for another position at a store in Patterson. Didn't hear anything back. When I went to that store recently and couldn't find my item, I asked an employee. Her response was "No speak English." About five feet from me was another employee. I asked her, and her response was "Oh, English un poco." I lost it.
A Spanish speaker doesn't have to speak English, but an English speaker must speak Spanish. I cannot get a job because I don't speak Spanish, but hey, it's OK if you only know Spanish and no English.
This is not about racism. This is about experiencing discrimination for not speaking a language that is different from what this country was founded on. I thought America was about equal opportunities, united as one.
I know many Patterson Latinos who feel the same way. They were born and raised here, and because they do not speak Spanish, they, too, cannot obtain a job.
Kimberly Wilson, Patterson

If one speaks to any young American-based cycling team which is about to race in a field heavily weighted with European Pro Tour teams, it would be likely that the team's goal would be to finish well placed among the elite, international group. Indeed at the beginning of the Tour of California, Alex Moos represented the BMC racing team's best chance at matching the Pro Tour teams over the week of racing.
Today's Stage 3 from Modesto to San José posed the first substantial road block in every team's path for classification success in the 2008 Tour of California. Overcoming the hilly challenges, Moos finished the stage in ninth place, only 20 seconds behind the stage winner. Team Manager, Gavin Chilcott was pleased with Moos' performance today, and upbeat about his chances in the upcoming Time Trial, "It's hard to predict just what we can expect from Alex and the time trial. We haven't seen the revised course, but since a hill has been added to last year's course, that should play to our advantage," Chilcott said.
Alex, were you happy with your performance today?
Alexander Moos: Oh, well it was a very difficult day with several extremely challenging climbs. But the team had a strategy and for the most part, all went according to plan. With the climbs I just went all out, and held on for the finishing chase. I am very content with the stage result.
Do you feel you have a good chance to keep your position with the coming time trial?
AM: Well, we will have to see. It is not a specialty of mine and I have not had a chance to preview the new bits to the course. But I will do my best and hope that will be enough to keep me in contention.
Do you have your sights set on trying to win a particular stage this week?
AM: It is very difficult to predict. There are so many riders who also want to win here, and we are already half way through the event. One has always to believe that it will be possible, but we will see. On verra.

Tuesdays with Dorie is now an open group! We will begin to tackle Baking with Julia, by Dorie Greenspan in February of 2012. The rules are going to be more lax this time around so that more people can play along.
Here we go:
- You must own the book, Baking with Julia by Dorie Greenspan.
- We always post on Tuesday. As long as you post when it is Tuesday for you, you are good to go.
- We will be making 2 recipes per month.**** Everyone must make at least one of the two recipes per month. If you participate every week, fantastic! This is not up for negotiation.* (In order to HOST, you must keep up with participation.)
- You must have a blog to post your baking adventures on. This is the only real way for us to know that you are indeed baking along with us.
*Please post the recipe of the week each week. 'Rewinds' or other Dorie recipes will not count towards participation. The point is to bake together, please do not go rogue on us.
**Hosting will be done by lottery this go round. We will post the chosen recipes and ask for hosts. You may volunteer and we will choose by random number generator.
***This isn't so much a rule as a kindly consideration. We ask that you not include the actual recipe on your TWD posts. We would like to promote the publishing industry by encouraging others to go buy the book! Only the host for the week will post the recipe. I love books, so this is a no brainer for me.
****In the event of a month with 5 Tuesdays, we have the option of a "make-up/optional week" or scheduling 3 recipes for that month.
Bake on!

Councilman Dominic Farinha continued to lead with 1,652 votes as of Friday, followed by council candidate Dennis McCord with 1,589 votes in a hotly contested three-way race for two council seats. Meanwhile, council candidate Sheree Lustgarden trailed closely behind with 1,569 votes.
It was still unclear Tuesday, Nov. 13, how many Patterson provisional ballots remained to be sorted, said Lee Lundrigan, Stanislaus County clerk-recorder and registrar of voters.
It could be next week before the county registrar's office released another update on elections results, she said, adding that some county precincts have as many as 200 provisional ballots to review, she said.
Election workers kept busy this week cross-checking the names on the rosters of voters in precincts throughout the county with the number of ballots that the registrar's office had received, Lundrigan said.
"It's kind of like an audit," she said Tuesday, Nov. 13. "I'd be surprised if we get to the (provisional ballots) this week."
Lundrigan stated in a press release Friday, that the county had collected and tabulated 35,592 ballots from all post offices in Stanislaus County as of Tuesday.
Election workers plan to turn their attention to 11,000 provisional ballots after the audit of rosters is completed. Provisional ballots are issued to people who vote in the wrong polling place and are used when a voter's identification is in question. Election workers must verify the identity of the person who cast each ballot.
Poll workers indicated last week that more than 100 ballots were collected just at the Las Palmas Senior Housing Complex polling place on Election Day.
Little doubt remained in the mayor's race, however, as results early Wednesday showed Mayor Luis Molina with a 75 percent to 25 percent lead over mayoral candidate Troy McComak after all precincts were counted. Molina had collected 3,389 votes, while McComak had 1,107 as of Friday afternoon.
California election law requires the vote be certified by Tuesday, Dec. 4, 28 days following the election. That day coincides with the night the City of Patterson is scheduled to seat its next council.

UDS Budapest: Accessibility and User Experience Take Center Stage
The Budapest Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS-O) kicked off on Monday, May 9, at the Corinthia Hotel. "Accessibility is one of our core values as a project," Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth said in his keynote address, as he acknowledged the Unity documentation team contributions to the 11.04 release. After briefly looking back at the "Natty Narwhal" Ubuntu release, Shuttleworth set his sights on the upcoming release, saying, "Our goal, our mission is 200-million Ubuntu users in four years."
"We are in the crucible. We see what users are experiencing," Shuttleworth says. "We are the conduit. We are the place where software lands in users' hands," he added, emphasizing the importance of the Ubuntu user experience. Shuttleworth says that taking responsibility for user experience and re-evaluating software documentation shows real leadership. When it comes to the new Unity desktop, he says, "I think we've set a new bar for disciplined design in free software."
Shuttleworth laid out Ubuntu's goal of 200-million users in four years, saying, "We're playing a game for user's hearts and minds." He acknowledged that, although the focus is on user experience, improvements also benefit developers. "Developers need all the things that users need, and more," he says. Shuttleworth then launched into the focus, goals, and mission of Ubuntu. "We want contributions and participation," he says, "It only makes sense for people to participate if they share our values." He then reviewed those values, starting with governance. Shuttleworth says that governance means qualified people in power can make decisions and are trusted to make them, which then leads to "getting things done." He then addressed the value of accountability, saying that he has no problem with being challenged and asked to explain decisions. Shuttleworth also addressed Ubuntu's history of being transparent, saying, "We need to figure out a way to be more transparent."
Then Shuttleworth moved onto the role of companies in Ubuntu, saying, "It's one of the things that have made Ubuntu great." But he clarified what he means when he talks about collaboration, explaining that it shouldn't be confused with teamwork. Collaboration, Shuttleworth says, is when you take people with different values and goals and work together to create great software. He says he's failed in this area and needs to figure out how to get companies involved in free software.
Shuttleworth asked UDS attendees to think about generosity. "Ownership brings responsibility," he says. Shuttleworth used his new interest in gardening to illustrate his point. "I don't have time to make vegetables," Shuttleworth says, "but I do have time to put chicken shit on it." He says that he wants to invite someone who wants to grow vegetables to use his well-fertilized garden and share the produce.
After leading attendees in a standing ovation for Matt Zimmerman, Shuttleworth turned over the microphone to the departing CTO. "It's been an incredible seven years," Zimmerman says, adding that he plans to stay involved with the open source community in his new company. After Zimmerman left the stage, Shuttleworth returned and said that the mission for the week starts with a challenge. The word Oneiric popped up on the screen next to the stage. "How the hell do you pronounce this?" Shuttleworth asked. He then invited some attendees to join Ubuntu Director of Engineering, Rick Spencer, on stage to act out pronunciations, including annoy Rick, one-eye Rick, and on a Rick. Finally, Shuttleworth settled on pronouncing Ubuntu's next code name, Oneiric Ocelot, own-air-ick.
"You'll be glad to know there are no major, profound shifts," Shuttleworth says of the 11.10 release. He says that he sees that next release as an evolution.
Later, Shuttleworth turned the stage over to Linaro CEO George Grey, who discussed the work his company is doing to produce software on development boards for Ubuntu and Android. "It will be good if Android has some competition," Grey says. "I think you'll see that happen." Linaro's developer summit is part of UDS, with tracks for Linaro Android, graphics, kernel, and more. Day 2 of UDS-O concludes with the Linaro Technical Showcase this evening.

The Dill Pickle Club
We like The Dill Pickle Club. They care about place and history and the creative and self-motivated people who make culture, independently and without promise of financial return or great acclaim. Through tours and public presentations in Portland, one of our favorite cities, they create non-traditional avenues for learning "where all forms of knowledge are valued."
Tonight at The Cleaners at Ace Hotel Portland, they're holding a fundraiser by challenging several local chefs to create the perfect pickle. The benefit marks the beginning of an exciting year wherein The DPC works with Publication Studio to re-release four out-of-print books about Portland — art, oral history, architecture, and local culture — that will accompany a year-long, roving lecture series at symbolic locations around the city.
The books — low-budget, immeasurably important documents of local eras — reflect the fabric of Portland's weird, rebellious, vibrant and radically earnest culture. Here are some selected pages from Twenty Seven Installations and Rubbings From the Rose City. Keep an eye out on their site for more about the books, the lectures, and other ways you can pick up what they're throwing down.

Andy Summers' Police Guitarist Documentary Hits NYC Tomorrow
Thursday, November 8, 2012
Police guitarist Andy Summers will be on hand tomorrow night (November 9th) at the New York City premiere of Can't Stand Losing You. The documentary is based on his 2006 memoir, One Train Later, and features the guitarist reading passages from the book throughout the film as well as featuring over 25,000 photos stills he shot of the band, both on and off the road. The screening will be held at the SVA Theater as part of the Doc NYC film festival, with Summers hosting the Q&A directly after the screening.
Summers told us that he's proud of the film, which was directed by Andy Grieve -- but that it in no way should be confused with a vanity project: "The inspiration was to make a film like The Kid Stays In The Picture -- not like, 'Oh I want to make it, like a fantastic Hollywood picture of my life, 'cause I deserve it.' I was trying to make a, sort of, art house film because I thought I had all the still photography and the writing. Anyway, it went from one thing to another and this is where we've gotten to with it. But I think it's very good."
Can't Stand Losing You features footage from the Police's 2007-2008 reunion tour, which Summers believes solidified the band's place in not only rock -- but popular culture: "It was a historical band, it was. . . we were all incredibly fortunate to have met one another. And t hat particular time, in those circumstances, y'know, we came up with the music -- clearly. The great thing is; in '07-'08 we were able to go out and completely prove it yet again. Y'know, it wasn't just a myth. Here it is. We were that good -- and I say that with no ego whatsoever, of course."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (November 22, 2012)—A new wager linking the final race of the day at Betfair Hollywood Park and the opener at Los Alamitos will begin Sunday, November 25.
Called the "405 Double'', the $2 minimum bet will require a player to pick the winner of Betfair Hollywood Park's last race and the first race at Los Alamitos. The wager was recently approved by the California Horse Racing Board and the Thoroughbred Owners of California.
The wager will be offered every Sunday throughout the remainder of the Autumn meet, which concludes December 16. The first race each Sunday at Los Alamitos will feature thoroughbreds going 4 ½ furlongs.
The 405 Double will be available on track at both Betfair Hollywood Park and Los Alamitos, as well as the various satellite wagering facilities and through Television Games Network (TVG).

Salisbury chosen for Fox TV pilot
SALISBURY — A Fox TV pilot based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow will film in Salisbury, complete with police chases, a gunfight and a horse running through the street.
Sleepy Hollow could start filming as early as next week at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, the Confederate monument on West Innes Street and other locations around Salisbury, said Elaney Hasselmann, city spokeswoman.
The pilot, from the writer-executive producer team of Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci of Star Trek, is described as a modern-day supernatural thriller set in the Northeast.
If Fox picks up the show, several locations in Salisbury will become permanent backdrops for filming, Hasselmann said.

What factors go into determining how many Twitter followers you gain (and lose) each day? I analyzed thousands of accounts to find the answer.
Key takeaways
The types of content you tweet have significant impacts on attracting and keeping followers.Hashtags probably aren't dead.Each tweet that includes an image, has a hashtag, is a retweet, or mentions someone associates with 2-6% more daily followers.
Just as it does with Rand, your account will likely have individualized factors that move the needle for you.You can explore these via Excel! Check your Followerwonk account for a complimentary spreadsheet of your Twitter activity.Don't forget to follow me @petebray so that I can test whether this blog post significantly moves my follower count! :) And let me know what you uncover.

Are Hashtags Dead? Do Tweets with Images Get More Followers? Twitter Growth Factors (and Some Excel Tips)
Haiku Deck Analysis
Wouldn't it be great if you could just call up a supercomputer and ask it to do your data-wrangling for you? Actually, scratch that, no-one uses the phone anymore. What'd be really cool is if machines could respond to your queries straight from Twitter. It's a belief that's shared by Wolfram Research, which has just launched the Tweet a Program system to its computational knowledge engine, Wolfram Alpha. In a blog post, founder Stephen Wolfram explains that even complex queries can be executed within the space of 140 characters, including data visualizations.
In the Wolfram Language a little code can go a long way. And to use that fact to let everyone have some fun with the introduction of Tweet-a-Program. Compose a tweet-length Wolfram Language program, and tweet it to @WolframTaP. TheTwitter bot will run your program in the Wolfram Cloud and tweet the result back to you. One can do a lot with Wolfram Language programs that fit in a tweet. It's easy to make interesting patterns or even complicated fractals. Putting in some math makes it easy to get all sorts of elaborate structures and patterns.
The Wolfram Language not only knows how to compute π, as well as a zillion other algorithms; it also has a huge amount of built-in knowledge about the real world. So right in the language, you can talk about movies or countries or chemicals or whatever. And here's a 78-character program that makes a collage of the flags of Europe, sized according to country population. There are many, many kinds of real-world knowledge built into the Wolfram Language, including some pretty obscure ones. The Wolfram Language does really well with words and text and deals with images too.

The power of text analytics is now readily accessible through intuitive and openly available software. Running analysis is straightforward enough, as the examples in this article illustrate. However, the prerequisites of impactful insights haven't changed. Proper problem definition, domain expertise, and stakeholder engagement are key to well-guided mining and actionable output—whether you're improving a user interface or the broader user experience.
Thanks to @Luis Costa for this great Scoop. Was looking for something like this just the other day as we discussed ways to understand the sentiment of online reviews :). M
Klout, Context & Links
This post links to my G+ summary in prelude to my http://www.curatti.com blog post tonight. Here are some preliminary thoughts on the page of notes I took during Dixon Jones talk.
Links & The Real Value of Content
Dixon works at Majestic SEO (http://www.majesticseo.com/ ). Majestic is asking the right question - what is the value of a link. They've even created tools that help intelligently answer that question.
"Inbound links" as a measurement is clouded by "bot spam". In a great example of the power of the "flow" tool Dixon shared. Even more powerful was an example of Majestic SEO vs. two competitors. On a purely inbound link review Majestic doesn't win.
But are all of those links valuable? Value is contextual and any spammy ways of inflating inbound link numbers need to be discovered and factored out.
Once links are run through Majestic SEO's "trust flow" tool evaluating where links came from and the respective trustworthiness of sites sending links in Majestic wins the comparison.We finally have a tool to separate white and black hats.
Think of that for a second. If you were to simply use aggregate inbound links you would buy ads with Majestic's competition or, and this is worse, you might think the competition's inflated (probalby by spam) value is something you should buy.
Once the Majestic SEO tool separates wheat from chafe a more accurate and "influential" picture emerges. SEOs and Internet marketers know how to parse page spread, social following and inbound links to pierce the veil of most who spam, but, for an outsider, "most links" may translate into "most trusted".
There is the web's biggest rub. Since the web is an interconnected system discovering if real people who have real value are passionate about a site tool, or brand with metrics such as high inbound links or big pagespread (pages in Google) is the only way to make an informed decision UNTIL Majestic wrestled context and content to the ground.
Curagmai & Majestic
The reason our Startup Factory funded startup Curagami and Majestic fit together like Lego blocks is relationships between a site and its 1% Contributors, 9% Supporters and 90% readers. Curagami helps FIND the Contributors, Supporters and Readers and Majestic helps define each of member of those "tribes" by their CONTEXTUAL influence. I may not have high Klout and be irrelevant for a conversation about women's fashion, but be perfect to help discuss cycling (since I rode a bicycle across America in the summer of 2010). .
If the first job is to FIND Contributors, Supporters and Readers and the second is to ask them to JOIN with Contributors and Supporters high on the Ambassadors list then the 3rd job is to contextually empower advocates in each group. We know the future is about community and real people not bots are the building blocks of online community.
What Dixon shared today and Majestic SEO has been working hard on is helping marketers know what kind of ASK will work best for Jill, John and Bob. Jill might know women's fashion, pets and be a car mechanic in her spare time. John may know email marketing, gourmet cooking and wines. Bob may know finance and cycling.
Curagami helps find 'em & Majestic helps define 'em in order to create an ASK that works. Powerful and very cool tool since the future is about building community and not every Contributor, Supporter and Reader who visits your site is the same. As we begin to create "rich personas" thanks to tools such as Majestic and Curagami our content relevance will go up, and up and UP.
If you are thinking more content relevance = more LOVE and MONEY we agree :). M
Mapping Product Sentiment
Yesterday I wondered if we could use Jim Stengel 5 Ideals to understanding a product's human experience:
* Joy.
* Connection.
* Exploration.
* Pride.
* Society (change the world).
Turns out there is a TED talk about exactly this idea. Ecologist Eric Berlow and physicist Sean Gourley used natural language processing and physics, and that part sounded a tad "black box", to map every ted talk ever given in order to understand connections and outliers.
Would love to figure out how to do something similar for product reviews. Anyone with ideas on HOW or WHO please share. Knew I should have paid more attention in Calculus :). Marty
Marty Note - Digital Listening Is Different
Cendrine and I are having a great conversation on G+ about the nature of listening online. Cendrine's great post shares TIps and Tools so you can become a tuned online listener.
Great post. Here is what I shared on G+:
Are You Listening...Digitally?
Digital #listening is different. Conversations provide nonverbal clues missing online, but online provides other kinds of clues. Online clues are easy to walk by without even knowing you just missed a clue.
Examples of missed online clues abound and include:
* Small Follow Back % (sends "we don't listen" signal).
* Pushing only YOUR content (need to act less proprietarily to become or act as an #authority ).
* Not curating or rewarding #ugc (User Generated Content).
* Not responding to @yourtwitter mentions with RTs and thanks.
* Not responding to direct @yourtwitter messages.
* Not responding to Twitter DMs in a timely way (can be made worse by not following enough people to be able to DM).
* Not being present on a major social net (like +Google+ ).
* Not asking questions & then curating response.
Could go on and on, but you get the idea. LISTENING online is different and few do it well.

Colorful, passionate, impressive, noisy and tasty; these are a few ways to describe the innumerable religious, performing arts and harvest festivals that spark up the calendar of events in the Mediterranean. Be sure to experience the exuberance of Mediterranean festivals on your visit to Europe.
It would seem that not a month goes by in Cyprus without a festival with a religious or cultural basis. A Greek Orthodox festival with strong pagan roots focusing primarily on water, Kataklysmos or Festival of the Flood marks the day of the Holy Spirit. Coastal cities seize the opportunity to stage concerts and games near the waterfront, but even inhabitants of inland towns and particularly children – their water guns a necessary accessory, enjoy a good 'splash". Cyprus's wine capital Lemesos lives up to its reputation as a party town with its annual wine festival every year.
Inspired by the ancient festivals dedicated to Dionysos and Aphrodite, it combines fun and merrymaking with ample wine and food and a variety of performances from local and international artistic groups.
Traditional local festivals and international convocations of talent abound throughout Turkey. Food is critical as always and is celebrated variously at the Malatya Apricot Festival, the Aksu Cherry Festival, and the Diyarbakir Watermelon Festival. Listen to stirring classical music of the music of the Balkans and Anatolia with the melody of jazz, fusion and funk at the Ankara Music Festival or go to the coast to enjoy the Çeşme Music Festival. Have a group love-in for gorgeous Turkish rugs at the Carpet Festival in Eşme and see stellar films at the Antalya Golden Orange Cinema Festival. Istanbul and Izmir are two other cities that host multiple festivals showcasing jazz and film.
The Tyrnavos Carnival, dramatically described as "the forbidden festival" and a "local rebellion" – this is in Greece after all, the birthplace of western drama– is a hundred-year old, all-stops-out, month long extravaganza. The town plays host to evenings of theatre, fancy dress parties and streets alive with music and dance. Thessaloniki Crossroads honors Middle Eastern cultures with a series of musical and culinary events, theatrical productions, film festivals, exhibitions, conferences and symposia, proving east and west have always existed in a state of mutual influence. Check local calendars for a plethora or music, film, and culinary festivals throughout the year.
Malta may hold more festivals per capita than any other country in Europe. Every single village and town holds its own festa in honor of its patron saint, so there's almost always a town on holiday status, holding a parade and enjoying special foods and snacks for sale from carts along the way. Festival Mediterranea celebrates everything about the island of Gozo; other annual events showcase jazz, Maltese folk singing, and fireworks. The Malta Arts Festival comprises a wide variety of art forms, such as theatre, dance, music and art.
A world of festivals awaits in Italy, where festivities can honor everything from a mushroom to opera. In the Pisa neighborhood for instance: there's the luminaria of San Ranieri, the Regata delle Repubbliche Marinare, the festival of cherries and the festival of pappardelle with truffles. Near Modena, home of balsamic vinegar, is the Gnoccata, the festival of gnocchi, those cute little potato dumplings, which are given out to all visitors from steaming pots along the streets. Then there's the festival of dieting, but that's after you get back home. In Sicily seat yourself in Taormina's Ancient Theater for the Cinema Festival, or witness a mix of faith, folklore and tradition at festivals dedicated to the Patron Saints of Sicily. Dozens of festivals throughout Italy feature historical parades honoring different figures in history and giving everyone a reason to don a costume.
A festival is always on the calendar in Monaco; go Latin at the International Salsa Festival, have a laugh at the International Circus festival and just enjoy the jazz festival. Thanks to the quality and variety of its programming the Printemps des Arts festival has become the "crown jewel" among Monaco's many cultural events. The program ranges from classical music to heavy metal and includes a fashion show.
Fiesta! Enumerating the festivals in Spain is not quite possible, there are so many in every region. Madrid hosts a huge International Dance Festival annually that attracts dance companies encompassing the full range of dance styles, from classical to avant-garde, including Spanish and flamenco dance. Fancy some time travel? Streets decked out like the Middle Ages, magnificent processions and exciting mock battles mark the 400-year old festival of Moors and Christians: days filled with magic, legend and spectacle. Come and enjoy this unique festival in which thousands of people take part year after year, all trying to outshine each other in splendour and brilliance. These are only two of so many enriching and wildly fun festivals in Spain; start making your list.
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.
If the Alps were human, they'd be movie stars: world-famous, beautiful, charming and exciting.
Warm Mediterranean hospitality will linger in your memories.

Norwegian road champion Thor Hushovd powered past Matthieu Ladagnous (FDJ.fr) and Daniele Ratto (Cannondale Pro Cycling) to take his second stage win at the Tour de Pologne, his fifth victory of the season and the BMC Racing Team's third straight at the race.
String Of Victories
Hushovd, who also took the lead in the sprint classification, said when the final breakaway of the 160.5-kilometer race was reeled in with five kilometers to go, he was poised to deliver the BMC Racing Team's 19th win of the year. "For sure, the sprint was a perfect one for me," he said. "I knew if the group came back, I would have a good chance. The last climb was hard, but the team did a good job and everyone was working well together like we have been the whole race." The three straight stage wins ties a team record set last month when Hushovd (Stage 3) and Mathias Frank (Stages 4 and 5) won three in-a-row at the Tour of Austria. It was also the BMC Racing Team's sixth win in the past 11 days, a stretch that includes three victories last week by Greg Van Avermaet at the Tour de Wallonie, Hushovd's win on Stage 3 on Tuesday and Wednesday's solo victory by Taylor Phinney. "We are a really good group here," Hushovd said. "We are enjoying racing together and when the ball first starts rolling, it doesn't stop and everything goes well. We don't have any pressure. We just do our jobs and the rest comes along."
Frank In The Breakaway
BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said having Frank as part of an early breakaway that was only brought back in the final 26 km took pressure off the team. "We knew this would be a difficult day to control because the stage was not so hard and because of that we were focused on putting someone in the break," he said. "Mathias was the guy I asked and he did an amazing job." When six riders escaped the peloton again with 19 km left, BMC Racing Team's Marco Pinotti and Phinney helped with the chase to bring them back. The final piece of teamwork was put on the shoulders of Italian road champion Ivan Santaromita, who escorted Hushovd up the final climb and helped bring him to the final kilometer. "All the guys were fantastic again today," Baldato said. With two days to go, the overall lead changed hands with Jon Izaguirre (Euskaltel-Euskadi) using a time bonus to overtake Rafa Majka (Team Saxo-Tinkoff). Santaromita (14th, 1:24 behind) is the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider overall.

Filled my second NY yesterday, the second to last day of the season in NY. Waited for the weather to clear and drove South to a place I knew had some birds but had only hunted turkeys there once about 8 years ago. Its a 2.5 hour drive so I decided to head down the night before and camp so I could get some sleep, rather than drive down and hunt that morning. Finally the weather forecast looked good and I got there and did some scouting, didn't see a single track and I questioned my decision to drive that far. Around 7pm the clouds rolled in and the thunder/lightning started again, thought it was supposed to be over. The good thing was I heard toms shock gobble to the thunder and felt better about staying. The storm was a good one, lots of lightning and heavy rain; it finally let up after 9pm and I was able to set up camp on a tarp in the wet grass and cook some dinner. Got to bed after 10pm and the stars were starting to shine through the clouds.
Didn't sleep very good, everything was damp and I was getting dripped on with no tent, when I got up around 4am the stars were gone. I got ready and hoped to hear some gobbles as it got light out, but the birds had other plans with the heavy fog. I set up way up in the back of the small grassy field and started calling, had a hen answer my yelps but she never came out of the woods. Around 7 am the fog started lifting and I heard some more hen talk and gobbles way off in the distance. I continued calling and had two birds gobbling but they weren't that close; one across the dirt road to the South and another down the ridge to the West.
Eventually the one across the road was getting closer, then I heard him in the neighbor's field, he had crossed the road. He gobbled again and was coming, then I spotted his red head coming out of the strip of woods. He worked his way up and to my left but wouldn't come closer then 30 yds; he headed toward the woods and I tried to open one of the back windows in case I could get a shot but he saw me, putted and ran away.
The other bird was still there and I kept calling, soon his gobbles were getting louder but I didn't get my hopes up. Next gobble was really close and I knew he was coming, then I spotted another red head, this time to my right and coming right to me this time. He stopped at 30 yds and stared at the decoys, he started to turn toward the woods so I did a couple fighting purrs and that did it, he headed right to my decoys. Shot was about 10 yds and my 10 year old Martin Altitude had put another one down.
He's a good one, makes up for the tom I missed: 19 lbs, 9.5" beard, 1"+ spurs.

Jockey Quotes
JOEL ROSARIO, MAY DAY ROSE, Winner: She can do anything. She can go to the lead or come from behind. Turning for home she was traveling real nice and I had her on a long hold. I hadn't even asked her to run yet. I knew I had a good chance from there. She was nice and relaxed and when I asked her to go, she drew away."
JOE TALAMO, PEDALTOTHEMEDAL, Third: "She was climbing the first quarter mile. At the three-eighths pole I'm saying to myself it's going to be a matter of how far. She just got outrun the last part. To be honest, I think she wants to go long. And turf, too. She ran once on the turf before, but I think she can run a lot better."
Owner Quotes
KALEEM SHAH, OWNER, MAY DAY ROSE, Winner: "She's been a good one. At the Grade One level she didn't run her best races, but one level below that she seems to be firing. It's up to (trainer) Bob (Baffert) what to do with her next. All I ask him is to tell me where and when."

For anyone interested in winter hiking I would highly recommend the AMC Winter Hiking Workshop. I attended the course a few years ago and again this year as a refresher. The instruction and reference materials are excelent. Unfortunately, the course offered by the Boston Chapter for winter 2006/2007 is already completed. But you might check with other chapters (NH?). They have similar workshops at different times.
The course I took through the Boston Chapter was very inexpensive ($35 and we met every Tuesday evening for five weeks) and very informative.


text: If a major economic crisis hit us right now, the vast majority of Americans would be extremely vulnerable. According to a recent CareerBuilder survey, 40 percent of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck all of the time, and 77 percent of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck at least part of the time. This is why there was such a problem with foreclosures during the last recession. When millions of Americans suddenly lost their jobs many of them quickly found that they were unable to pay their mortgages because they had no financial cushions. For decades, Americans have been trained that it is okay to get into debt up to their eyeballs and live paycheck to paycheck because times will always be good and jobs will always be easy to get. Unfortunately, times have changed and many (Read More...)

Tea is my morning drink of choice, so it's wonderful to see cookie options!
How about some southern-style Sweet Tea Cookies!http://therunawayspoon.com/blog/2012/09/sweet-tea-cookies/
oh my gosh, i'm SO excited about these! Not only to enjoy with my own cup of earl grey every morning/afternoon/evening, but also to give in my annual gift of homemade biscuits to friends.
I was so happy to come across this posting centered around tea! I'm a huge tea lover in the Chicagoland area, and I've been looking all over the place to find someone who knows something about Ineeka teas. Has anyone here heard of them? I've only seen their teas in a couple of places around town, but they look great... Any thoughts?

"I have run with the NB 940 for several years. While I like the 940 v2 is slightly lighter, I think it sacrifices the cushioning the previous version had. I keep switching to my old and back to new to try and nail down difference. Just think overall feel of 940 was better!"

"I have several pair of 940 shoes, which I loved, and ordered a new pair and was told it would be 940v2. Ordered the same size as I have ordered for 10 years. The new shoes are much bigger, length and width, and do not fit as good as the 940. I do not understand why they have to change the shoes. I used to wear the 768 and they discontinued it and I had to go to the 940 and now it is gone also."

"For me, this v2 version of the 940 is a disappointment. And I liked the 940s. Seems that when NB boasts lighter it equates to less durable, and fewer miles as well. Maybe it is fine for a 20 year old. Everybody is different, but when I can no longer pick up and put down my foot because my running shoe is too heavy, I should probably stop running. My plea: Please stop with the lighter already! I want structure, support, and durability. Giving the 1340 a try."

Found it to be not just longer, but wider, and with a higher instep. Needed to add an insert to fill out the shoe, but did not on the 940. The sizer for the 12.5/B should be checked. Appearance very good, comfort very good."

Progressive Dinner Project: Mixed Berry Parfait Salad
- Posted on
- 11 Comments
With the holidays right around the corner, you are going to want to bookmark this recipe because it is perfect for a potluck party or family dinner . . . and it's so easy! You can't mess it up! This salad is one of my favorites because it comes together in a matter of minutes and tastes amazing. And even though berries aren't in season right now, you can use frozen berries and it's delicious.
Mixed Berry Parfait Salad
2 containers (6 oz each) mixed berry yogurt (or your favorite fruity flavor)
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding
1 container (16 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool-Whip)
16 oz of your favorite berries (I used a bag of frozen raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries)
Dump the yogurt and the dry powdered pudding mix into a bowl and mix well (just ignore the directions on the pudding box- you just need the powder to make this salad), until the little "lumps" are practically gone. Fold in your whipped topping and fruit and gently mix until all combined. Serve immediately (or keep in fridge until serving). I suggest making this no earlier than the day you plan on serving it.

This looks so good! One question, when using frozen berries, do you thaw them or keep them frozen before adding them to the salad?
Good question! I am sorry that I didn't clarify! Thaw the berries first, then add them. Thanks for bringing that up!
