Facebook Improves Advertising Options by Adding Behavior-Based Targeting
Facebook recently overhauled its advertising system, making it easier for advertisers to target specific audiences. When using Facebook Ads, advertisers will now see many different options in the "Audience" section, which can be used to narrow down the Facebook users who will be shown their advertisement. Most of these options, such as Location and Interests, were already available in Facebook's old targeting system. However, Facebook has unveiled a Behaviors option, which offers advertisers the opportunity to improve campaigns directed at general or narrow target audiences. Behaviors are broken down into eight different categories, with each containing numerous subcategories.
The Automotive category sorts Facebook users in many different ways— based on the cars they own or are shopping for. Advertisers can appeal to general audiences such as individuals who have purchased used vehicles. They can also choose to be very specific by advertising to owners of a certain make, model, age, and price of a car.
Charitable Donations:
Facebook allows advertisers to target users who have made charitable contributions to a broad selection of organizations. Advertisers can be general by targeting those who have contributed to any charitable organization, or they can choose specific subcategories such as Animal Welfare, Health, Political, Environmental, and more.

Google+ and your business
Businesses tend to think about Google+ as just another social network, similar to Facebook or Twitter. While this is basically true, Google+'s influence extends beyond social networking, and ignoring its presence can cause your business to fall behind.
So what exactly makes Google+ so valuable to businesses?
Google+ is guaranteed to have an effect on your search engine ranking
Google+ users receive a bump in Google search engine ranking simply by keeping an active Google+ account, providing fresh content and engaging with other users. A number of studies, such as the one done by Search Metrics*, show a powerful correlation between search rankings and the number of Google +1's (equivalent to Facebook's "Like" button).
Simply put, +1s will create a followed link back to your post, causing organic link building, which is an important part of any SEO strategy. In addition, +1s indicate to Google that your website has been vouched for by a third party, giving you another boost in the search ranking process.
As the world's most popular micro-blogging website, Twitter has become an increasingly important tool for businesses to promote their products and services through word-of-mouth marketing and generate buzz about their brand. While businesses have used tweets, links, and hashtags since Twitter's inception to engage with existing and potential customers, Twitter recently expanded businesses' ability to advertise through Twitter Ads. Previously, Twitter Ads was limited to a select group of large companies and those who were invited to participate, but with a new self-service system, any business or individual can use this feature to promote tweets or accounts and increase followers.
For those not familiar with Twitter, here's a brief overview. Twitter is a micro-blogging site that allows its users to communicate by posting short updates known as "tweets" to their profiles and "following" each other's tweets on their newsfeeds. Every Twitter user has a unique username, known as a Twitter Handle, which is prominently displayed on the user's profile page and next to every tweet the user posts. Tweets are limited to 140 characters and often include links to other websites, articles, blog posts, or hashtags. Hashtags (symbolized by the # sign) allow users to search for tweets with specific subjects or phrases, such as #JobInterview or #SmallBiz. You can learn more about Twitter from PRMG's previous post.
Before Twitter Ads, businesses focused on engaging with consumers by tweeting frequently, using popular hashtags, and sharing blogs and other links about their products, services, or industry. With these tools, businesses could build rapport with their followers, strengthen their online presence, and connect their websites and blogs to a social media forum. However, it was often harder to attract new customers, as businesses could not specifically target those they wanted to reach. Twitter updates could also be very time-consuming, and full engagement with followers could distract from other social media and marketing strategies. In addition, including too many links on a Twitter profile would seem like spam and deter Twitter users from following the business. Twitter Ads solves many of these problems and can improve the effectiveness of social media marketing.
Twitter Ads comes in two forms: Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts. With both Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts, businesses target a specific audience in order to drive traffic to their profile. Businesses choose a location—city, state, or country—to focus on, and then narrow to their target audience by filtering through specific genders, interests, and other criteria. For example, a music store can target people who like to play instruments and a golf club can target men who live in a suburban area. As a result, a business's Twitter activity will reach those who are most likely to engage with the product or service.
After finding a target audience, the two Promoted approaches start to differ. Promoted Tweets work the same way as regular tweets, and they allow businesses to broaden their reach and inform the intended audience about special offers, press releases, and other information relevant to the business or industry. The Promoted Tweet targets the chosen audience and stays at the top of the Twitter users' newsfeeds when they log in, whether or not the users are currently following the company. A Promoted Tweet is often better for a short-term approach, such as attracting business immediately for a one-day sale or special event, though it can also increase followers. Promoted Tweets can also be used to generate traffic to a blog post or article on another website. On the other hand, Promoted Accounts can be more beneficial for a long-term approach that focuses on building a stronger customer base or increasing brand awareness. Promoted Accounts use an algorithm to track potential followers with similar characteristics of current followers and appear on a side bar of a Twitter user's profile in the "Who to Follow" recommendation section. Overall, Promoted Accounts are better for building and maintaining relationships. Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts can be used separately or in conjunction.
Because Twitter Ads is now self-service, businesses set a daily spending limit and can stop, start, or resume advertising at any time. This new system that Twitter uses is very similar to the Pay-Per-Click system used by Facebook Advertising and Google AdWords. Twitter only charges when a Twitter user clicks the link to follow the Promoted Account or engages with the Promoted Tweet through a retweet, follow, favorite, reply, or link. As a result, the business remains in complete control of its advertising budget and strategy.
Furthermore, with both Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts, businesses can track the success of their advertising with Analytics that show the increase in the number of followers or clicks-per-link, as well as how their budget has been spent. The Analytics feature separates increased traffic and activity that occur organically from traffic and activity that result from concentrated marketing efforts, demonstrating the effectiveness of the campaign.
As Twitter continues to gain in prominence, consider your goals for social media marketing. Do you want to expand your customer base by targeting a specific market? Do you want to further engage already-existing customers or spread the word about a new product or service? Twitter Ads may be worth the time and investment.

Recently, Facebook introduced Graph Search, a new feature that combines characteristics of a search engine with an individual's social network for personalized search results. With dual emphasis on online searching and social networking, Facebook Graph Search presents an opportunity for businesses to improve their social media strategies and better understand consumers, while increasing visibility and attracting new customers.
Finding Your Customers
Unlike a regular search engine, Facebook Graph Search allows businesses valuable insights into their consumer bases' demographic information and finds general patterns in consumer behavior. It offers criteria to narrow down results from its one billion users to the specific audience your business will target. For instance, an auto dealership can search specifically for "People in New York who like SUVs," or an Italian restaurant can search for "People in Connecticut who like pizza." The results can also reveal characteristics about a customer base (Do more women than men like to drive SUVs? Do most people who like pizza also like Pepsi?), which your company can use to tailor services and marketing strategies to a target market.
Furthermore, if your business's page has many comment and likes, you can search within your own network to find which consumers have been most actively engaged with your product/services through social media. Such information can help your business determine how to best engage existing and potential customers through Facebook.
Let Your Customers Find You
Graph Search also enables potential customers learn more about you. When a business appears in Graph Search, the search entry offers a paragraph of information, which includes the user's friends who "liked" the business. This feature increases awareness of your organization and can help you build trust with prospective consumers by leveraging their friends as professional references.
Most importantly, Graph Search provides word-of-mouth marketing, augmenting Facebook's importance as a marketing tool. If a consumer is searching for a restaurant in New York City, he could type a general search into Google and find 588,000,000 results. But with Graph Search, he can use Facebook to search for "Restaurants in New York City my friends like" and receive a personalized list based on Facebook pages for restaurants that his friends have "liked." By increasing the search rankings and visibility of your company, Graph Search increases the value of each "like" your company receives.
In mid-April, Facebook began testing ads in the results for Graph Search, and currently, only a limited number of companies have been given the opportunity to advertise with Sponsored Results ads. We expect Facebook will soon expand to allow more companies to advertise and shortly thereafter will introduce targeted ads related to specific search queries (similar to how Google Ads works).
By combining the convenience of a Google Search with the trust friends' recommendations, Graph Search has the potential to become a strong marketing tool for any business. To maximize the potential of Graph Search, you may need to rethink your current Facebook strategy (or create one). We recommend that you post new content often, have more conversations with your followers, and use the Search Results to better understand the effectiveness of your current strategies. Adapt your marketing strategies and products/services to entice your target customers, by utilizing the data that Facebook is now making available.

Yahoo buying Tumblr brings to mind an important question for businesses with an online presence: Will Yahoo make Tumblr better or worse?
But first to answer a question that many have been asking — What is Tumblr? the confusing answer is a microblogging site where you choose the medium of your blog. The easy answer is it's a website where you use a combination of photos or videos along with printed captions to entertain an audience with the attention span of a goldfish (although strictly speaking you can choose any combination of Text, Photo, Quotes, Links, Chat, Audio or Video). This means no long blog posts just something short, informative and entertaining.
As soon as Yahoo announced its intended acquisition of Tumblr, bloggers began screaming their disapproval. But these microbloggers are missing the point — Yahoo doesn't want Tumblr, it wants Tumblr's users (mostly Gen Y/Millenials) to start using Yahoo. Yahoo's current demographics are older adults (Gen Y's parents), and is having trouble diversifying their consumer base. Thus Yahoo will be wooing Tumblr's users, and will be careful not to alienate them.
As Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer puts it, "We promise not to screw it up." Yahoo will be keeping the layout that Tumblr has worked hard to perfect and David Karp, the current Tumblr CEO, will remain in charge with creative power, his current staff and current branding. In short, post-Yahoo Tumblr will be nearly identical to pre-Yahoo Tumblr.
So why all the hype? We all know that more of the same is bad for business, and we expect 2 major changes that might lure more businesses to Tumblr: Searchability & Advertising.
Yahoo remains one of the top 15 search engines worldwide. This comes from advanced search algorithms, experience and power. We expect Yahoo to impart some of this know-how to increase the searchability of Tumblr blogs— thereby helping to expand reach, influence, and the roi of your pages.
Advertising remains the best way to monetize social media, and Yahoo is forecasting a significant increase in the value of Tumblr due to ad-based revenue (remember in 2012 Tumblr had an annual revenue of $13 million but just sold for $1.1 billion). Bloggers will have the options to opt-in to ads which gets rid of the negative reception for consumers who associate ads with annoyance.
For all of us who have been watching major social networks as they integrate advertisements and sponsored posts, we can recognize the potential inherent in Tumblr advertisements. We know the value of a Facebook like is about $174.14, and with the continued expansion of social media networks and social media advertising, the value is poised to rise. Connecting with prospective/current customers has always been important, and Tumblr is no exception. Every generation has a favored social network and Tumblr will be critical for marketing to Gen Y and Z.
It is our recommendations: If you're not currently on Tumblr, then at least advertise on it. Tumblr is poised to grow, and your company should be ready for it.
With the amount of social media programs available on the Web, businesses must be able to efficiently leverage time spent on social media marketing. This article will provide readers with a brief introduction to the social media services Eventbrite, Tweriod, WiseStamp, Disqus and Mr. Unfollowr. These five tools are quick to use, helpful and conveniently free of charge.
1. Eventbrite — Eventbrite's mission is to make events as easy to create, find and attend as possible. With this online service, businesses can create and promote events online. This tool allows users to customize event pages, integrate with email marketing services, connect with Facebook and offers the ability to scan QR-coded tickets for attendees with smartphones at the door. If your event is free, this service is free to use. For paid events, there is a small fee to sell tickets online.
2. Tweriod — This tool analyzes both your company's tweets and your followers' tweets to provide you with the best times and days to send tweets. By tweeting during time periods where you'll receive the most exposure, you will make the most out of your efforts. Businesses should run a free monthly Tweriod analysis and use the provided data to schedule posts in programs such as HootSuite or TweetDeck. For more information on scheduling social media posts at the right times, please read our article, "Timing is Everything: When to Blog, Tweet and More."
3. WiseStamp — WiseStamp allows users to create unique, branded email signatures through customized apps. For example, you can link your email signature to any social network, share your latest WordPress blog articles, include QR codes and much more. The free version of WiseStamp allows users to create one personal and one corporate email signature.
4. Disqus — For those who receive an excessive amount of spam in the comment section of their blog, Disqus can be very helpful. This free tool can get rid of spammers by upgrading your comment system so that users must create an account before they can comment. This program is compatible with WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Drupal, HTML and JavaScript. Also, Disqus has been approved by the Google Search Quality team to be organically crawled unlike any other comment platform.
5. Mr. Unfollowr — If you need to clean up your "following" list on Twitter, this free program will help you keep track of people who have stopped following your account. To join, just follow @unfollowr on Twitter and you will receive digests to your email or direct messages with a list of unfollowers. This is a great tool to remove inactive or unfruitful accounts and ensure that you aren't losing any important business contacts or personal connections.

On June 19, LinkedIn announced that companies are now able to send targeted status updates to followers of their company pages. Aiming to increase company engagement on LinkedIn, users can now tailor the way they communicate with followers and help meet their unique needs.
Thanks to this new capability, businesses are now able to update their company pages through the popular social media publishing giant, HootSuite. This is incredibly convenient for businesses and marketers since it's now easier than ever to update multiple social media platforms in one place.
One of LinkedIn's challenges has been that, compared to other social media platforms, users are less engaged and typically spend less time on the site. For example, according to Nielsen, visitors to LinkedIn averaged only 16 minutes and 46 seconds on the site in April while Facebook saw visitors spend an average of more than seven hours on the site in one month alone.
However, with these new updates, LinkedIn users should enable better listening and engagement between companies and professionals. Like with all social media, the power lies in exploring new frontiers, making connections and developing relationships with people.
For more information on using LinkedIn to market your business, refer to our articles, "Making the Right Connections with LinkedIn," and "Top Five LinkedIn Mistakes to Avoid."

Measuring your business' social media return on investment (ROI) is essential if you are looking to analyze the value social media can bring to your organization. Social media ROI is notoriously difficult to truly measure because there is the question of whether or not financial return really indicates its true value. Many marketers find more value in social media's power to promote engagement and interaction between businesses and consumers. Aside from monetary gain, social media can significantly boost brand awareness, identity and online influence. However, it's still important to show quantifiable results for your time and effort spent on social media.
If businesses want to be successful in their social media marketing campaigns, it's critical that they understand what is actually working and what is not. While measuring social media ROI isn't always easy, it is possible. There are various programs, both free and paid, that provide users with valuable and useful measurements. This article will provide an overview of what social media metrics are important to measure and some of the best tools to track them.
Conversion Rates — It's important to know when a lead comes from social media. Many marketers are able to easily track conversion rates and other metrics using HootSuite, a publishing program that has integrated Google Analytics into their custom URL shortener "Ow.ly." HootSuite's new custom social analytics reports provide users with valuable insight on the impact of their social media profiles. These reports measure Twitter to Web conversion rates, which geographic areas produce the best campaign results, top content, activity on Facebook such as "likes," posts, demographics and much more. Users can choose from over 30 analytics modules to customize their own unique and interactive reports.
Shortening your URL through HootSuite will not only conserve space but create trackable links to learn which follower clicks result in conversations on your website. For example, a long Web address like http://longislandmarketingblog.com/ can be turned intohttp://ow.ly/bwPE7. HootSuite offers a free version (which does have limited capabilities) as well as two business-level plans. To get started with a 30-day free trial of this more advanced plan, visit hootsuite.com/pro.
Engagement — Engagement measures the number of people who not only read your post but engage in some kind of action associated with it. For Twitter, this number would be how many people re-tweeted or replied to a tweet. On Facebook, you can measure how many times your links were clicked on, how many times people commented on your page or how many users liked one of your posts. Engagement can be measured with online tools available from Radian 6, Attensity and TweetEffect.
To learn more about the importance of engagement marketing and encouraging consumers to be active participants in a business, read our article, "How to Build Your Business with Engagement Marketing."
Reach — In regards to social media, reach refers to the number of people who view or have been influenced by your posts. For Twitter, TweetReach is a great free tool for measuring reach. With this program, you can search for a URL, Twitter name, phrase or hashtag and TweetReach will analyze tweets and metrics that match your search. The program will then give you a free report on the reach and exposure data for the information you entered. For example, if a business entered their username, they'll receive information on how many accounts they have reached, the number of impressions, who their top contributors are and more.
You can also use Twitter Grader and Facebook Grader to measure your influence, your number of fans/followers, the power of this network of connections and more.
Social Media Growth — This is perhaps the simplest measurement to keep track of. It's helpful to monitor your number of Facebook fans, Twitter followers and any other social media connections in order to analyze this number over a period of time. If the numbers are not increasing, you are doing something wrong. Evaluate your social media content, variety of posts and timing of posts to discover what your audience is most responsive to.

On Friday, Facebook went public in a highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) that valued the company at more than $100 billion. Although the initial price of stock cost $38 a share, Facebook stock plunged to $34.26 as of Monday afternoon, which is 10 percent below IPO price. Up against a falling stock market, many investors are questioning whether Facebook will be able to attract enough advertising revenue to justify this huge public offering. Although Facebook is an unparalleled means of branding and engaging consumers in a business or product, many are skeptical over whether it has the same power and success when it comes to advertising. Since Facebook makes most of its money from online ads, the future of its advertising revenue will have a huge impact on whether investors will benefit from buying stock.
One of the main reasons for concern is that General Motors Co. recently announced that they are ceasing all Facebook advertising efforts, pulling a $10 million advertising campaign from the overall $40 million the company spends on its Facebook presence. The company decided that paid advertisements on Facebook had little impact on consumers' car purchases. This raises the question that if GM, one of the largest advertisers in the United States, has come out publicly denouncing the effectiveness of Facebook advertising, will others be quick to follow?
Facebook is able to insert ads into users' news feeds and Timelines without excessive intrusion or annoyance on the users' part. There are no large, overbearing ads that pop up. When a user does click on an ad, they will either be sent to the business' fan page, in hopes that they will "like" them, or to a custom landing page or website.
What make these ads so unique are Facebook's effective targeting capabilities. Facebook advertisers can specifically target users based on what interests they have listed, their location, demographic, gender and age group. For example, an advertiser may choose to specifically target men between the ages of 18 and 35 who live in a particular location and who like cars. However, skeptics are still unsure of the value in all of this since, as with other social media advertising venues, Return on Investment (ROI) is not always easy to measure. It's almost impossible to measure the value of a "like," "comment" or "share" in terms of dollars.
Even though GM has shut down their Facebook advertising budget, the company is still dedicated to building their fan pages as an important means of engaging car buyers. Many companies share this sentiment that Facebook is an excellent way to connect with customers and generate brand awareness and loyalty. Major corporations such as Target and Walmart use Facebook mainly for this purpose, rather than creating targeted ads to solely drive sales. Facebook has been able to connect people and businesses and share content more effectively than any other online medium and having a strong presence on the site can help any business in the long run. For this reason, if your intention is to increase brand awareness and loyalty, running ads on Facebook that will lead targeted users to your fan page can be beneficial for you. Since Facebook is essentially a social network, we recommend it for industries and products that are likely to be shared with users amongst friends. For example, restaurants, entertainment businesses and political organizations are likely to find success through marketing on Facebook.
It's important to consider that if businesses start to follow GM's lead in pulling out of expensive advertising campaigns to focus on their fan pages (a free service), Facebook will need to find another way to generate revenue to support the I.P.O. Currently, business can market themselves through Facebook fan pages by sharing content, posting information about new products and offering special deals all at no cost. If enough companies pull out of Facebook advertising campaigns, the largest social networking site may have to limit what businesses can do to market themselves for free.

One year ago I was sworn in as a United States congressman. Representing Texas's Twentieth District, I was the successor to a South Texas legacy and part of the most diverse freshman class in American history. We came to Washington to change things, certain that we could do better than the do-nothing Congress that preceded us. We would take on big issues and finally find agreement on things like immigration reform, which had been stuck in partisan gridlock for a generation. It hasn't exactly worked out that way. By the end of the year, the 113th Congress was one of the most unpopular in history. But through the frenzy of tough votes, committee hearings, media hoopla, policy stalemates, and lots and lots of talking, I learned a great deal about our legislative branch. I learned that Congress is a place with more heart than courage; there are more good souls in Washington than brave ones. I learned that the whole is not always the sum of its parts, that what you put in doesn't always match what you get out. All 535 of us can be individually busy—we routinely work twelve-hour days—yet together we often wind up producing very little. That's because gridlock isn't just a result of a bunch of people who can't agree on anything, it's a result of the customs and traditions that enable those people to cause dysfunction. And yet despite all that, I learned that when it comes to finding meaning in that kind of mix, hope and faith lean on each other, and there's a reason to keep going. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let me start at the beginning, which actually comes before the beginning.
Five months earlier, I had decided to run for one of the state's four new congressional seats. The Thirty-fifth District was an hourglass-shaped district spanning six counties between San Antonio and Austin along Interstate 35. It would draw nearly half its constituency from San Antonio, including a large part of the West Side, where I grew up. It was the only new minority district created by the redistricting map drawn by the Republican-controlled Legislature in 2011, even though minorities had accounted for 89 percent of the population growth in Texas between 2000 and 2010. This was part of why the map had been instantly challenged in court by several civil rights groups. Not only did it neglect minority growth, but it was also aimed squarely at Lloyd Doggett, one of Texas's two remaining white congressional Democrats.
Back in 2003, a mid-decade redistricting scheme masterminded by "Washington Tom" DeLay and executed by "Texas Tom" Craddick had already laid to rest most of the other white congressional Democrats. Lloyd, who had been in Congress for sixteen years, would now have to run in District 35 and face a set of mostly new voters. His previous district, the Twenty-fifth, had been a true Southern anomaly: centered around Travis County, it was both majority white and also majority Democrat. Houston's Gene Green, at that time the only other white Texas congressional Democrat, is from an overwhelmingly Hispanic area. The Voting Rights Act arguably allowed Republicans to mess with Lloyd but not Gene. Meanwhile, Travis County was at risk of losing any Democratic representation in Congress, as District 25 morphed into an overly Republican jurisdiction stretching from Austin up to Fort Worth.
I'd been in the state legislature for a decade at that point. I believed I had something to contribute at the national level, particularly in the areas of education and health care, but I had never seriously considered running for Congress before since my home district was District 20, which had been represented by the Gonzalez family for more than fifty years. Henry B. Gonzalez first came to office in a special election during the Camelot years of President Kennedy. He was known as a man of principle; everyone could tell you the story about that time he punched a man out at Earl Abel's restaurant for calling him a communist. He stood up for himself and for the little guy, no small thing for someone who came of age when signs reading "No Dogs or Mexicans Allowed" still hung outside some Texas establishments. Henry B. represented San Antonio for almost 38 years, before his failing health forced him into retirement. Charlie, the third of Henry's eight children, succeeded his father in 1999. By 2011, Charlie had made his own mark, leading the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in its battles over immigration, redistricting, and voting rights.
I could never run against that legacy, but the creation of a new district encompassing parts of San Antonio meant I could still represent my hometown in Congress.
Not that the race against Lloyd was going to be an easy one. Primaries are the family feuds of politics. Small differences get blown up into big deals. The contrast between our profiles fueled the race: Hispanic versus white, new blood versus experience, San Antonio versus Austin. By November 2011, Lloyd was accusing me of being a Republican stooge complicit in cheating Austin out of its congressional seat, and I was painting him as an ineffective lawmaker who felt entitled to be in Congress. It was going to be a long race.
Fortunately, on the day before Thanksgiving in 2011, the U.S. District Court ruled that the Legislature's maps violated the Voting Rights Act and restored Lloyd's district while retaining the new Thirty-fifth. We'd each have a district to campaign in. For the first time since June, I was able to relax. I would get to run for the new seat without having to challenge a longtime congressman. So after the holiday, I did some Black Friday shopping at the outlet malls in San Marcos, then came back home and sank into a much-needed nap. A little while later the phone rang.
"Hey, Joaquin. This is Charlie."
"Hey, Charlie. How are things?"
"Good. Listen, I called to let you know that I'm not going to run for reelection . . ."
Had I not answered the phone, there's no telling whom Charlie's next call would have been to. But I did, and by the end of the night, I had withdrawn from District 35 to run in District 20. And it's a good thing too: three months later, a federal district court redrew congressional district boundaries, putting Lloyd back into the Thirty-fifth (which he now represents). Charlie's call ended up sparing me a difficult primary fight.
Election Day 2012 marked a start and a finish: I could start representing the people of San Antonio in Washington and end the juggled lifestyles of a state legislator and lawyer. Either one could easily be a full-time job, but for ten years, I had tried to do both. Making a living as a lawyer and doing my job as a legislator sometimes proved difficult. Most clients don't like it when you tell them you need to take five months off to go to Austin. One year I taught a class at St. Mary's University law school at eight in the morning every weekday and then rushed up to Austin for the ten o'clock start of session.
As a state legislator, I had worked with Republicans and Democrats to pass a number of bills, including some related to higher education and juvenile justice; I'd created what would become San Antonio's largest book drive and literacy campaign. But the tea party wave of 2010 had changed things at the state capitol. The new Republican supermajority swiftly cut education funding by $5 billion and passed voter ID and sonogram laws. Meanwhile, the daily grind of litigation, a routine of early-morning hearings before district court judges disgruntled by the responsibility of resolving the "he said, she said" of divorce disputes, was no longer enjoyable. The feeling that I should probably do something else overtook me one day as I waited to begin a court hearing in Medina County. Outside the courtroom sat a man and a woman with their attorneys, trying to reach a divorce agreement. In sniping voices the couple agreed on who should walk away with what until someone brought up the George Foreman grill. "No, girl, don't give him the grill!" advised the woman's friend.
"Man, what am I doing here?" I thought. After ten years I was ready for a change. It was time to focus on one thing.

I don't know if Mel Brooks knew who Annette Schwartz was when he wrote "Space Balls," but having just seen her naked and having sex on her site Annette Schwartz Videos, I have just have one thing to say: May the Schwartz be with you!
Unfortunately, I can't as enthusiastically say, "May the AnnetteSchwartzVideos be with you." And that really comes down to updating and, to a lesser extent, the amount of content (although it is better than it was the last time we were here).
Currently, there are 121 videos and nine photo sets. Given that the word "videos" is right there in the URL I wasn't surprised or disappointed to see that the movies way outnumbered the picture sets. What did disappoint me was the fact that nothing new has been added in just over four months.
What didn't disappoint me was the videos themselves. Annette is gorgeous and her hardcore scenes involve lots of sucking, fucking, anal, DP and cum eating. She licks pussy voraciously, stuffs her mouth with two peckers at once and certainly loves all colors of cock. She is a classic pornstar and there sure ain't nothing wrong with that.
The videos can be both streamed and downloaded. Well, actually, those that don't have "Moviez+" marked on them can. Those that bear that mark can only be streamed, but are often great in quality and in once case in HD. Apparently you'll have to "upgrade" (meaning purchase the Extra Moviez membership add-on) to be able to download them. The movies I could save are available in two MP4s and the larger one provides mostly good-quality footage.
The design is good, but getting to her content is a little confusing at first. When you sign in, you'll land on the Pornstar Network homepage. You will have to go through the "pornstars" menu link in order to get to Annette's action. Once you're on her page, you can check out all her porn, rate it, post comments, write on her "wall" and read her Tweets.
Okay, now about that network. Your membership gets you full access to it, which includes 49 other sites, like Pornstar Squirt, Tiny Ass and Jizz Mouth Wash. The network is surely worth your time and money, but Annette Schwartz Videos, with its infrequent update schedule, will only satisfy for a limited time.

Re: Understandable
>Possibly. However, some nasty crashes might be caused by drivers of unrestricted cars trying to overtake them. A moped can be overtaken relatively safely, a Nissan Micra less so.
Im not sure about that. When overtaking a moped you should be giving it the same space as a car anyway.
Restricted power to weight should still manage national speed limits, it just takes longer to get there.
Re: Understandable
With less power you will have to think about every action you take more carefully. With a bit more power you can get away with making a few more errors, and being able to get away with more leads to more carelessness from what I have seen
Re: Understandable
Power to weight restriction like they have on bikes would be good.
I don't need this, like 95% of other drivers I am a better than average driver!

I'm currently in treatment for an eating disorder and self harm and I wanted to have a place to find humor in what I'm going through and find a way to laugh at myself and stop taking things too seriously. I also suffer from depression that sometimes has psychotic episodes, a dissociative disorder, OCD, anxiety with panic attacks, and PTSD. I know, it's a lot. It's easy for me to feel like I'm incredibly messed up or broken so it's nice to be able to laugh about things.
I'm on twitter and Instagram at @FindingEmilyE my name on there is Recovering Emily. My other tumblrs are findingemilye.tumblr.com, findingmyrecovery.tumblr.com, and swiggityswagimahag.tumblr.com

The CM Punk update is here, so basically WWE going into this past week's Monday's RAW from Chicago, Illinois that there was slight to none real discussions between both CM Punk and WWE officials.
As we reported that there is a feeling within WWE that he's not only done with WWE, but also pro wrestling in general. This is all according to PWInsider.
Top WWE officials made it crystal clear prior to the Raw TV tapings that Punk was not coming to RAW that night. It was also said that he was done with WWE for the time being.
As of now, WWE does not know if he has made up his mind on if he's done for now or for a year. Possibly long than that, if that is the case, then people close to Punk are not talking about his future. It should be noted that those close to him say he does not want to talk about pro wrestling at all.
CM Punk has not been on WWE TV since the Royal Rumble PPV in January and his last tweets were:
The view never changes.
— Coach (@CMPunk) January 26, 2014
Thanks for all the support. Keep being you guys, it's pretty cool.
— Coach (@CMPunk) January 27, 2014
Andrews Take: I truly think that CM Punk is done with pro wrestling in general. Also my opinion on the situation has been voiced and i do not want to repeat myself. If Punk is done and both sides cannot agree on a deal then let Punk go in June when his contract ends and leave it be. For all you CM Punks (That includes me) it looks to be done.

One of my favorite stories is the story of David facing the giant Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. The ancient nation of Israel is on one mountain facing the Philistine army with a valley in between. The Philistine champion Goliath the giant is taunting the Israelites: send out your champion so I can kill him because your God is a joke.
The only one willing to go is the shepherd boy David, the anointed future king of Israel. On one side is this giant Goliath, standing over 9 feet tall. Nine feet! Not only that, he is covered in armor and has a spearhead weighing over 20 pounds. On the other side is David, this teenage rookie of all rookies, maybe 5 foot-five at a good guess. No one gives him a chance. He's never fought in a war, never been a soldier. Who does this punk think he is?
Scripture says David ran, ran to the battle line. No sign of fear, no hint of second thoughts. Using a strap of leather and a chunk of river rock, David blew out Goliath's brains and chopped off his head. Can you imagine the shock on both sides?
Do you know why it was easy for David to face Goliath? Because David had already faced a lion before.
David spent a lot of time out in the wilderness protecting his father's sheep. If a lion or bear attacked the flock, David didn't just leave well enough alone. He went after both a lion and a bear and killed them for attacking his sheep.
The big payoff is when David credited God for rescuing him from the bear and the lion. It wasn't just luck or his superior skill; it was God rescuing David by giving him the courage, skills, and opportunity to fight back.
Sometimes God puts struggles and obstacles in our path to better prepare us for even bigger challenges ahead. A good loving Father wants His children to be ready for whatever they face, even if it's so far beyond our ability to cope.
It's much easier to face the giants in life when we've already seen God help us overcome our fears. Giants stand shorter when we've fought off lesser lions.
No matter what giant is looming in your life today, whether it's a recent job loss, broken relationships, or a medical threat, I can promise you that God has given you the tools and courage to face your giant today. Whatever giant you're facing today, there's a good chance God allowed you to face some lesser lions to prepare you for this moment.
Trust your Father in heaven and run towards your giant with courage from the lions you've faced.

A follow-up from my chat today: Thom Brennaman says you won't hear him do any more Xavier college basketball games — or any more college basketball – on the new Fox Sports 1.
Thom, who co-hosts the "Reds Hot Stove League" from the Holy Grail Banks 6-7 p.m. on WLW-AM with Jim Kelch, says he's done for the season.
"I did two X games and that's all. With the launch if FS ONE, the network wanted all hands on deck if they needed us from time to time. If they ask again, we shall see. I hope that answers your question," says his email.
As for Reds TV this year: ""Doing more Reds games on TV, 85 or so. Still doing Fox Saturday Baseball. How many? I don't know due to Fox Sports One carrying more Saturdays than the network."
During my chat today people asked about WCPO-TV's new set; Kathrine Nero; Fox Sports 1; Brad Johansen; CBS Sports Radio; ABC drama flops; Steve Norris; Al Jazeera America, and many other topics. Here's the replay:

Battle of the CSS Preprocessors
I love front end dev with a crazy passion, and I spend a lot of time thinking about and using CSS preprocessors. I've even been writing one myself just to better understand the implementation (and to teach myself about compilers - I've never taken a CS class in my life). I've written a large and extensive framework using sass that's something of a mix between compass and twitter bootstrap. There are thousands of lines of pure sass, and the logic is so complex that I've even had a little trouble porting it out to javascript.
Needless to say, I'm very opinionated about css preprocessors, and whenever I see someone doing front end dev and not using one, it makes me cringe. The time they save you is so absurdly much more than the time it will take you to learn how to use their common-sense rules that I would seriously doubt the skills of anyone who calls themselves a front end dev and doesn't use one. But with a number of preprocessors out there, I see a lot of confusion over which one is the 'best', especially for those just starting to learn. In this article, I'll go over each of the major preprocessors in gritty detail, trying to be balanced in the pros and cons so that you can choose for yourself.
Less is probably the most popular of them, partly because of it's use in Twitter Bootstrap and partly because it's docs are the best. Less is also by far the most simple of the preprocessors. It supports nesting, variables, basic mathematical operations, color functions, @import, and basic type functions. The feature set here, perhaps aside from basic type functions, is considered to be the base feature set for a css preprocessor. All of these features are enormously useful, and nesting, mixins, and variables quickly become essential once you are used to working with them.
Awesome thing you can do with less
This example demonstrates many of the basic great features of css preprocessors, including variables, mixins, functions, and the parent selector.
Sass is also very popular, especially since it's now the default for stylesheets in Ruby on Rails. Sass has all the features that less has, but also includes a large amount of more advanced functionality. There are two dialects of sass available - sass and scss. With scss, parens and semicolons are required as with vanilla css, where in sass, there are no parens or semicolons allowed and the nesting is dictated with whitespace. For someone who writes a lot of css, a whitespace-dependent syntax begins to make a lot of sense, as we almost always indent our css anyway, and this can be a very significant time saver.
Sass includes control directives, which gives it an immense amount of power over less. If/else statements, foreach loops, array lists, and type detection are fair game to use within sass, allowing one to write very flexible mixins. It also includes @extends which allow you to build on a previously defined css rule, and a protocol for extending sass to add your own custom functions. Sass also allows keyword arguments (kwargs) in their mixins, which allows you to make your code more clear and/or switch around the order of arguments. Finally, sass's color functions are more varied and robust, allowing you to perform nearly magic with colors and color formats. However, sass's documentation is much less pretty and clear than less', and finding the docs for the more advanced sass functionality is a bit more difficult and less accessible.
It's also written in Ruby, which makes it ever so slightly slower than javascript running on v8, less compatible with javascript applications, and easier to use with ruby apps. Sass does however implement caching, which can make it a lot faster during development if you are writing very modular code, as it will only recompile files that were changed. Sass is also very actively developed by a group of intelligent and experienced developer, is constantly coming out with bug fixes, and are often the first to come out with improvements, where I haven't seen as many major jumps in less (but the recent commit log is looking good).
It's certainly worth mentioning that sass can be used with a framework called compass, which provides shortcuts for things you often do with sass such as gradients, sprites, and vendor prefixing. There is a large community around both sass and compass which makes it easy to get support if you are just starting out.
Awesome thing you can do with sass
This example takes advantage of sass's if/else statements and the more terse ternary form to set the text color to light or dark based on the background.
Stylus is way ahead as far as features and power, but is also the least popular. It's hard to think of a feature that stylus does not have. With stylus, you can write your css however you want and mix and match between bracket/semicolon syntax or indentation (with very few exceptions). It also takes terse syntax to the next level by not even requiring a colon between your css properties and values, and by allowing you to include a mixin just like you're writing a normal css prop/val pair (using the
arguments variable).
Stylus also supports all the features that less and sass support with a bunch more on top. You can get properties from parents and pull them into children and/or mixins - if the property isn't found, it will bubble up until it finds a match. Stylus also has an introspective api, where a css block can tell if it's at root level or not and change its output based on this. It also supports rest parameters (taking multiple arguments in as an array), can convert images to base64, automatically vendor prefixes @keyframes, and allows you to pass a css literal block wherever you want.
Stylus' error reporting also stands out - it shows very clearly where in the code you went wrong , surrounded by 3 or 4 lines on either side for context, and an explicit reason. It's written in javascript and was written specifically for node, which makes including it in node very easy. There is a ruby port though if you want to use it in ruby apps (works with rails and sprockets as well).
Awesome thing you can do with stylus
This example uses the killer feature of being able to trace back up through parents to find out if a property has been defined and if so, pull the value.
Each of the preprocessors have their advantages and disadvantages. Less is easier to pick up and more similar to css. Sass is a solid rails standard and a very safe and secure middle road that comes with a delightful boost in power. And stylus has every advanced feature you could dream for, as well as a very flexible syntax.
Purely in my opinion, if someone new to preprocessors were to ask me where to start, I would probably recommend sass. It's a solid starting option and includes advanced features and whitespace significant syntax that you can graduate to if you want. It's not as basic and limiting as less, but it's not as advanced and forgiving as stylus. If you have experience with programming or have been using preprocessors for a while already, I would recommend thinking about migrating to stylus for the sole reason that you can make the most magic happen there. It includes everything sass has, has some killer advanced features that no other preprocessor has implemented, and the fact that it's written in javascript makes it more flexible (porting from js to ruby isn't too painful, but the other way is).
I'd be more than happy to hear anyone else's opinions and/or experience here too - join in the discussion on Hacker News!
– also want to give a special thanks to @snugug for his fantastic insight on this topic : )

What's your favorite pizza topping? That's not an idle question when it comes to protecting your identity. In fact, it's one of many security questions now being used by banks to verify your online banking transactions.
Identity theft is a growing problem, with more than 217 million people affected by data breaches since 2005, according to the nonprofit PrivacyRights.org. Most cases will go unsolved and unprosecuted. Financial institutions simply pay for the losses (passing along the costs), or put the blame on the consumer.
That makes it all the more important that you know the many forms of identity theft, along with what will -- and won't -- protect you.
Credit 'freeze' isn't solution
Services that promise to put a "freeze" on your credit report really can't protect you from the most expensive types of identity theft. In fact, consumers are paying big monthly fees for something they could easily do themselves for free by going to www.annualcredit report.com. There you can contact each of the three major credit bureaus to order your free credit report (safely authenticated), and at the same time request a 90-day credit freeze if you want one.
But protecting against someone opening new credit in your name doesn't give you any protection against several identity theft schemes. According to the Federal Trade Commission, credit freezes take care of only about 30 percent of the theft problems.
Identity theft dangers
Here are a few examples:
**Unauthorized use of an existing credit card. You're not liable for unauthorized use of your credit card, but check your balances online regularly to avoid having to dispute fraudulent charges.
**Unauthorized use of your debit card to withdraw cash. A debit card doesn't have the same protections as a credit card. If someone has your debit card and PIN, and uses it to withdraw cash, including your line of credit, you'll be fighting it out with your bank to prove that you didn't make the withdrawal.
**Unauthorized use of your debit card for purchases. If someone uses your debit card to make a purchase at a store, Visa will offer a guarantee against loss only if the merchant sent your transaction over the Visa processing network.
**Unauthorized use of your Social Security number that doesn't involve establishing new credit. Undocumented immigrants often use existing Social Security numbers at work or to get a driver's license. That uninsured driver could create a paperwork nightmare and impact your future insurability.
**Synthetic identity theft. The credit bureaus don't want you to know about this, and I'm hesitant to publicize it. But simple manipulations of your Social Security number can "fly beneath their statistical radar" and allow someone to use your Social Security number to establish credit under a different name and address.
**"Phishing" online scams. Amazingly, people still fall for these e-mails pretending to be from your bank, brokerage firm or PayPal asking you to click on a link for a message of urgent importance. Thousands of people each month "log in" to their accounts at a fake site, thus exposing their account numbers and passwords to the thieves. Never click on a link!
Pizza and protection!
All of which brings us back to the issue of your favorite pizza topping! Your bank has probably asked you to create a new and more complex password and PIN lately. If you have multiple accounts, the temptation is to use the same formula for each one -- again exposing you to the devastating financial consequences of identity theft!
Now they're asking you to choose new "security" questions and answers, for verification of a transaction or query. Among the choices: best friend in high school; favorite subject in school; name of your first pet, or favorite pizza topping!
Maybe answering these questions will really improve banking security. Or memories! In the meantime, be vigilant about your identity. Check online balances frequently. And don't fall for false promises of protection. Your identity is a valuable thing to lose. And that's The Savage Truth.

"Grey's Anatomy" recap (10.1-2): "I Don't Dance in My Underwear Anymore"
The WORST interns have turned to drink to come up with nice stories about Heather. They instead end up telling stories about themselves. All except Ross, because he is being torn apart inside. He does however, want a drink.
Speaking of needing a drink, Arizona and Callie are having it out at Meredith and Derek's. There are emotional punches flying. Callie calls Dr. Boswell a whore and reminds Arizona she had to convince her to want to have a baby in the first place. Arizona counters with the fact that she had to convince Callie to marry her. Callie says yes, she hesitated because she knew it would be a huge mistake. Really, the only winner here is Derek, who has taken the children outside to look at the stars. Even my ovaries exploded at his adorableness.
The drunken interns (still the worst) are now laughing and watching Stephanie perform her scholarship winning cheerleading routine. Just as she slides into the splits, Heather's mother comes in looking for her daughter.
Bailey and Owen are elbow deep in Richard's abdomen, when they finally find the necrotic tissue. Bailey is over the moon that her gut was right.
April tries to talk to Jackson about looooove and stuff, but he snaps at her. He then proceeds to lay it all out on the table. April is indecisive and selfish, wanting only what she can't have. She threw his love away and he doesn't want to be part of this merry-go-round anymore. She cries that he is unfair, but in his anger is a healthy dose of the truth.
The interns keep Mrs. Brooks company, talking and engaging her while they wait for Derek to deliver the news. When he does, they stay by her side. Stephanie checks on Sharpie Lady who tells her about her house. She will have to rebuild it now that it is destroyed. Stephanie asks why she just doesn't move, but Sharpie Lady has found her place there among the other misfits on the mountain. It hits close to home for Stephanie, who realizes that she and her fellow interns are misfits who need to stick together too.
As Mrs. Brooks empties out her daughter's locker, the interns tell her stories. They substitute Heather for other people like George, and themselves, hoping to give her mother some sense that Heather was loved. Ross can barely contain his sorrow and Mrs. Brooks embraces him as tears roll down his face.
April finds Matthew and pulls him into the chapel. She launches into the most convoluted explanation of her feelings, then asks him to marry her. He inexplicable picks her up and sweeps her off her feet. I'm so confused.
Arizona and Callie meet up in private, where Arizona apologizes for calling Callie a baby snatcher. Callie lets Arizona know that she and Sophia will not be returning home and that they will have to work out a temporary custody situation until a more permanent one can be arranged. Arizona looks like she's been tossed out of heaven as Callie walks away.
Bailey finally has a moment to breathe and calls her darling husband Ben to speak to his voicemail. Derek tells the interns to go home and rest but Ross rushes toward to rig to help at the pile. The other interns call to him, but Stephanie leaps up because they are each other 's people. They all walk toward the ambulance together.
