What did the Suns' win Wednesday over the Spurs have in common with Saturday's victory over the Blazers?
Amare Stoudemire dominating in the second half.
Stoudemire scored nine points down the stretch in San Antonio to seal a Suns victory and exploded for a 16-point third quarter on 6-for-6 shooting Saturday night as the Suns pulled away to win their 10th straight game over Portland, 107-96.
"I had my mind set that I wanted to dominate, I wanted to go out and dominate the third quarter to set the tone for the second half and I was able to do that with the help of my teammates," Stoudemire told Suns.com. "They were there to cheer me on and I just went out there to dominate. As a team we did that tonight during the second half."
Stoudemire's game-high 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting led a balanced effort that saw Steve Nash and Matt Barnes join him in the 20s and every Suns starter score at least 13.
Stoudemire's scoring spurt helped the Suns take control at a time Nash rested, an otherwise uncommon occurrence in the team's two wins.
In the first half, the Suns outscored the Blazers by 16 points with Nash on the floor yet still trailed by one at halftime when the bench fell apart without him. That was much the same story in San Antonio, as the Suns were a plus 17 with Nash and a minus 12 without him.
Phoenix also played a clean game by committing just 11 turnovers after that ugly 24-turnover outing last time out. Nash turned it over just once in 31 minutes after committing seven against the Hornets.
"We did a much better job of taking care of the ball, so that was nice to see," head coach Terry Porter told Suns.com.
The Suns also mixed in a 2-3 zone to keep Shaq on the floor for his offensive advantage when Portland went small. It led to some open shots but overall wreaked havoc on the Blazers' offense by providing a different look.
Not much of a bench
Porter continued to toy with his rotation Saturday night, relying on and getting more production out of his starters.
After the bench scored 42 points in 86 minutes against the Spurs and 21 in 87 minutes against the Hornets, Phoenix's reserves managed just 14 points in 70 minutes against Portland.
Boris Diaw was the only effective reserve with nine points, and in the second half Porter used an eight-man rotation with Diaw, Leandro Barbosa and Grant Hill, channeling his inner D'Antoni after using hockey-style shifts in the first two games.
Robin Lopez did not take off his warmups with this being a bad matchup for him, and Goran Dragic did not leave the pine in the second half.
This could be a bad sign if Porter is starting to lose faith in his rookies, who frankly haven't played that great, but he seems to be the type of coach who will give them chances to succeed, unlike D'Antoni.
On the flip side, every starter played at least 30 minutes and Amare saw 41 minutes of court time.
But a win's a win, and 40 minutes for Amare and 30 for Nash and Shaq may be what the Suns need to do to be elite.
Bayless and the Spaniards
Yes, I have a man-crush on Portland's third-string point guard Jerryd Bayless (but I swear it's purely platonic).
I've followed him since I was a senior and he was a freshman in the same region in high school, I visited his campus for a feature on him being the next great Arizona point guard as a high school junior before he had decommitted and recommitted again, and finally I covered him as the freshman star of Arizona's basketball team.
He's about the most competitive person I've ever covered, and it's got to be killing him that he only saw six minutes of action Saturday after not even playing the night before, although if the team is winning he'll still say all the right things.
As for the Spanish duo of Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez, wow! To think the Suns gave away both players for cash (not to mention the Luol Deng trade and the Kurt Thomas deal) really makes me want to throw my computer against a wall.

Place the apples in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over low heat. Cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Add the brown sugar and spices; continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 30 minutes more. To test for doneness, place a spoonful of the mixture on a white plate and let sit for 20 seconds. If a ring of liquid forms around the apples, there is still too much liquid in the mixture. Continue cooking and testing until no ring forms.

Soundtrack to history: 1878 Edison audio unveiled
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. (AP) – Researchers have recovered and digitized what experts say is the oldest playable recording of an American voice and history's first-ever recorded musical performance. Also included: the first recorded blooper.
The recording was done on a sheet of tinfoil on a phonograph invented by Thomas Edison and made in St. Louis in 1878. It opens with a short cornet solo and is followed by a man reciting nursery rhymes. Near the end of the 78-second recording, the man laughs after messing up one of the words to "Old Mother Hubbard."
The tinfoil and the newly digitized recording is being presented Thursday at a museum in Schenectady, N.Y., where Edison founded the General Electric Co. Experts at California's Berkeley Lab recovered the recordings using technology developed for the project.

I have a request for one of my image to be used on magazine yesterday. This will include use in their International editions of the magazine and digital/newsstand version. So, I asked about payment / reward, and this is their reply:
"Great to hear from you! In this instance, as we are showcasing your image in our gallery section, we are in effect promoting you and your photography with your permission, so we do not offer payment to do this. We are not commissioning you as a contributor to make the image or asking you to write a step by step tutorial describing how you created this image, we are featuring your work within the magazine purely to promote you, so as I mentioned we do not offer payment to do this."
Hmmmm..... I wonder how I should reply politely....

Politely tell them, If and or when the above becomes an applicable contract, You might consider their generous offer and discuss fee's.
For promotion purposes you are already adequately catered for by Saachi & Saachi but thank you for your kind offer.....
LOL.... It pays to be polite....
I bet they send such requests out to hundreds of people, knowing that some are daft enough to actually let them use the shots for nowt.
tell them to give you a life time subscription on the basis that you'll "promote" it to your mates... i.e. show it to them once
Magazine's always used to pay for use of photos, even if it was just £10 or a small accessory that they'd done a deal with a sponsor. But times are tough - they are now competing with all the free stuff that's online.
Best option would be to do some compromise - free sub for a year? Quarter page advert to promote your photo sales? Memory card or something that they may have floating around the office. I'd say don't cut your nose off... you never know if you may need them in the future.
It raises some interesting points for discussion.
Is having a photo in a printed magazine any different to having it in an online resource, be it facebook, ePHOTOzine, flickr etc?
Will the promotion in a magazine give you better results?
Should you be paying them for exposure? An advertiser would have to.
Should they be paying you?
Do celebs going on chat shows such as Jonathon Ross or The One Show get payment, or do they just appear for free because it's part of the package of promotion? Or do they get paid? Note that they always have a latest film, CD, or book to discuss.
TBH, I don't really care how much the payment is or what reward it is.
I have supplied a couple of times to other magazines for memory cards only, which I am happy with as I do understand it is not easy for that industry.
But to ask for free, and makes it sounds like I should be grateful for them to even consider me, I would have to pass on that. Though, I am not going to be rude.
Those are pretty interesting questions, Pete, which is why I posted it here.
I've tried the "swap photo for a 1/2 page ad" exchange a few times Pete, they either never reply, or worse, say something like "but 1/2 page ads are worth £100....." etc. Which really wins you over...
one major difference between print and online is linking - if you put stuff on, say, Facebook, you'll add a link to your website (or where ever) - which people may be inclined to click.
in print, you'll still have the web address, but people are less likely to be bothered to "type" in the web address...
also, online you get SEO "google brownie points"
Normally, I'm in the f**k off camp - though I keep that phrasing to myself and turn down these requests as politely as possible, as it's good not to close doors. However, about a year ago, a magazine contacted me asking if they could feature me in an article they were planning. It would involve giving up a day of my time, and there was no payment. For once, I decided not to turn down the offer, but accepted, pointing out to them that I am a freelance photographer and writer and make a chunk of my living from writing for photography magazines; if I agreed to help out with the feature, perhaps they'd bear me in mind when next commissioning work? A year on, I now have a monthly column with the mag, and regular work reviewing equipment.
So sometimes, doing the free stuff can be of benefit - but it helps if you make it clear what benefits you're expecting, rather than just accepting the nebulous 'we'll promote your images' promise. Perhaps, as Pete suggests, trying to negotiate a quarter page ad would work for you?

Some businesses get all their images free, or nearly so, with a promise of future work. I'll second the wise advice in this quote!
Doesn't it depend on whether we need to make a living from our images?

New York Nirvana
Painting, Urban landscape / Architecture, Acrylic, Canvas, 233x175x5cm, 2011
I have tried to take a more literal approach to abstract expressionism since completing my Masters Degree in 2004 via a more figurative way of working so that you can see what the image is, without seeing it all. This allows the viewer to imbue their individual sense into the work. It invites them to get involved. A lot of my work is about street and city scapes, it's about the chaos of a city - the rush, the isolation and the alienation.

Sony NW laptop priced at just £1.99
7th Jul 2009 | 08:50
Pricing error on pre-order site or the craziest offer ever?
Sony's new Vaio NW Series is certainly desirable - but it could be the most desirable laptop of all time if the pre-order price that TechRadar found of £1.99 is adhered to.
In what is clearly an early mistake by the Vaio store (or Sony is being very generous indeed!) we found the brand new Sony Vaio NW series available for pre-order at just £1.99 (£1.73 minus VAT).
Obviously we placed an order for the laptop, which boasts an 'instant on' web browser to avoid those lengthy boot-ups when you just want to surf.
Of course, as the Ts and Cs state, "We may or may not accept your offer at our discretion."
We're thinking that they probably won't accept our offer – but here's hoping!

Almost exactly a year ago, I posted a column laying out what would happen in the final installment of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. In it, I talked way too much about The Prestige, because people don't get enough Nikola Tesla or David Bowie in their diet these days. Mainly because that's not a diet but also that movie's quite good. A few Turns later and eventually I got to my prophecy: In Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Wayne would die, sacrificing himself so that "The Batman" could live on as a symbol of hope in Gotham. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character, John Blake, would pick up the cowl and become the new Batman. Cut to black. Inception sound. Roll credits.
Over wacky guitar music.
I still maintain that I was entirely right, as opposed to just mostly right. I maintain this simply because I prefer my movie more. Maybe it wasn't the movie I deserved, but it was the movie I expected and therefore the movie it should have been. Aside from the fact that Bruce's happy ending isn't actually all that happy, and the fact that maybe bat-shaped pyrotechnics shouldn't be on your To Do List when a nuclear warhead is about to detonate, and the fact that merely making a logical suggestion to a superior officer earns John Blake the moniker "hothead" in literally every scene he's in with Matthew Modine, and the fact that Talia al Ghul completely despised her father until he died and then she suddenly wanted to devastate an entire city in order to carry on his beloved legacy, and the fact that the nuclear blast had a six-mile radius, yet somehow five seconds on autopilot gave Bruce enough distance to survive it, and the fact that all of Bane's interesting "power to the people" ideology could be chalked up to having an adorable crush on an evil bald girl, and the fact that-
Ahem. Aside from a lot of flaws, I just don't think Bruce's sacrifice meant anything, because it wasn't a sacrifice at all. His epilogue negated that sacrifice. In the end, Bruce made Batman a hero, gave orphans a bunch of money and then went to Europe to fuck Anne Hathaway for the rest of his life. Thanks for taking that bullet, Bruce. You're a real selfless hero.
Via Annehathaway.org
The horror.
But ignoring all of that, I still liked the movie alright. I guess. I mean, I have no intention of ever watching it again, but it was pretty good. Unfortunately my snarky, bloggy, Internet-boiled mind made me not like it. I chose The Dark Knight Rises because it's the perfect example of how hard it is to please an Internet full of critics nowadays. We hype things up until nothing short of brilliant will suffice. Now even "pretty good" isn't good enough. The Dark Knight Rises, depending on who you like to argue with and how well they argue, was unarguably the most anticipated film of the year. Everyone in 2012 wanted DKR, and once they got it, they thought it was kind of dumb. I thought that was a pretty good metaphor for ... something, probably? I didn't really think much past this sentence. Calligraphy amaretto garnished camp.
We're making fun of overhyped Halloween costumes, right?
I don't want to get down on BuzzFeed here. They are nice people and they like nice things and I've wasted time on their website just like anyone else who is intimidated by reading. And I'm not bringing BuzzFeed up because of pieces like 15 Photos of Cheese Sticks and That's It, or 9 GIFs of Cats High-Fiving Other GIFs. After all, every site's got their schtick. We can't throw stones, especially after our award-winning expose, 5 Bafflingly Mind-Blowing Things That Can't (But Won't). No, I'm bringing up BuzzFeed because of a problem we are currently facing: the end of nostalgia.
The Internet loves a good reminder of things past, and BuzzFeed is proof of that. They are pretty '90s-obsessed over there, and for good reason. Most of their staff grew up during the '90s, and most of their audience did as well. I did. Maybe you did. So when they make a post about slap bracelets, I first think "Why yes. I do remember slap bracelets. Please, go on." But that's where it stops. There is no additional observation about slap bracelets. There is no interesting or funny twist on the concept of slap bracelets. It's just a picture of a slap bracelet. It's the same trick the Epic Movie guys pull: Thing Recognition, which is stating that a thing exists, or used to exist, and banking on an audience's recognition to do the rest of the work for you.
"Not only did Britney Spears once shave her head, but Little Miss Sunshine is also a thing. Wow, I just nailed it. I nailed that joke."
- writer of Meet the Spartans
I remember a time when I thought that starting sentences with "I remember a time when" meant that a person was getting old and out of touch, but I'm going to use it anyway. I remember a time when I would have a flash of something from my childhood. Maybe an image of a TV show or an old toy. That time was before the Internet, and all I had was the memory. Until one day when I walked by a garage sale and something caught my eye. A toy. A familiar toy that, oh my God holy shit, was the one from my childhood! "Oh my shit," I would exclaim to whomever was nearby and confused, "Do you remember these things? Wow. These were great. Oh, wow. Cool. I thought I'd never see these again. I barely remembered what they looked like, but now here they are! Ah, memories ..."
That time is done, though. I will probably never experience another moment like that in my life. Because now I have the Internet, and anything I can remember I can see if I just log enough time Googling for it. Nerfuls? Yep. Starcom? Yep. Easy. No memories needed, no "Oh my shit!" moment received. Just a picture to remind you of what a relatively recent decade was like.
Cracked delivers far more fun animal facts, and you don't have to talk your parents into whipping out the credit card.
Again, I don't want to be all down on BuzzFeed. They don't do only this. They also have a very thorough political blog and, again, are very nice people. But they also lifted up 2012 and made it the year of '90s nostalgia. There was a noticeable spike in posts about Mr. Feeny and the Aggro Crag. The '90s are the last decade Before Internet (which is to say, before good Internet), so I think it is the most precious to a lot of people. But the thing about nostalgia, and the past, and the '90s specifically, is that it's all finite. Next year, you can't just keep remembering about how much you loved Hocus Pocus, or how you remember that Tamagotchis were a thing, because you already spent all of this year remembering those things. We fucking know by now. The Internet's speed and vastness has allowed us to pack a decade's worth of nostalgia into a single year, and we're reaching a boiling point of remembering things from less than twenty years ago. Please take the pot off the goddamn stove and cook something new.
I'm going to let my word count suffer on this one and keep it brief. I don't think Chris Brown is actually the "Person of the Year." Of course I don't. But I do notice that he's still apparently relevant and has a career and is winning awards and has a slew of hoodrats on Twitter who still want to fuck him and don't care that he's actually a pompous entitled woman-beating piece of shit whose career should have been over the minute his fist touched Rihanna's face or, hell, even the minute Rihanna's battered face got tattooed near his face.

What's the opposite of a tramp stamp and being a great guy?
When Kevin Clash, voice and creator of Elmo, was accused of having a physical relationship with someone under 18, he resigned. Nothing had even been proven, and he resigned. Now obviously this comparison doesn't work super well because Chris Brown's industry glorifies being a misogynist scumbag, whereas Kevin Clash's industry glorifies counting. But what still stands is the fact that our culture is a bit fucked when Chris Brown is openly taunting everyone about how he's a woman-beating piece of shit, but he's still performing at awards shows and getting tweetfuls of strange. And not only is the strange OK with it, but they're kind of really into it. I wish Chris Brown were the voice of Kermit.
It's not easy being a woman-beating piece of shit. Or green, I suppose. Actually, both are easy.
If you're Internet, you've seen the above video already. It's from the makers of "Friday," and it's about Thanksgiving, and of course it's stupid and terrible. But it's terrible in a way that shows that they're obviously just trying to recreate "Friday" and cash in on some "this is terrible lol"-style viral hits. The girl is younger and somehow more awkward than Rebecca Black, the video starts on a calendar, the song is about a single day, it lists other days and what those days are in a silly, matter-of-fact way, there's an uncomfortable rapping section, she sings "we-we-we" too many times, and a black man shows up and hangs out with tweenage girls for no reason. Even the guy's smile in the video says "I know what I'm doing. This is funny, right? You like this, right? View me. Vieeeew meeeeee!"
This video shouldn't have 10 million views. It should have a few thousand comments saying "Nice try. This is exactly like 'Friday,' which was a hit not because it was bad, but because it was sincerely bad. This new thing you've created is insincere, and it reeks of trying to cash in on something you don't understand. And also, shame on you for ignoring the fact that you're probably ruining another tweenage girl's life. Also? Fake and gay." Or something like that. It seems like people only think that this is great because they're supposed to. Someone on Reddit posts "omg check this hilarious video it's like 'Friday' except no wait actually it's exactly like 'Friday'" and we're automatically like "Yeah, omg indeed." This video adequately represents two things about us and the Internet today: People who don't understand it will always try to cash in on it, and sometimes it works because people like things that they're told they're supposed to like.
Side note: I do think one thing about this video is actually great. When they talk about food in this song, I keep thinking the chanting part is "eggs."
Turkey! (Eggs!)Potatoes! (Eggs!)
And so on.
No food symbolizes Thanksgiving quite like the egg.
But anyway, the real reason I resent this song is because I already wrote it a year ago. As soon as Rebecca Black's "Friday" hit, I knew we were entering the era of Tween Pop Songs Based on What Middle-Aged Songwriters Think Tweens Talk About. So I wrote the megahit "These R the Thingz in My Backpack," and now this "It's Thanksgiving" girl is getting all the free Internet pussy. That was supposed to be my free Internet pussy. Grrrrrrrr!

October 31, 2014
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The safety standard being set to test water in the ongoing water crisis in West Virginia is one part per million.
Dr. Michael Castellani, the chair of Marshall University's Chemistry Department, puts that in perspective everyone can understand.
"Basically, that means one drop for every 13 gallons," Castellani said.
West Virginia American Water has been using that standard in testing to give the OK for people to flush their systems.
Water restrictions were imposed Thursday, Jan. 9, after it was discovered about 7,500 gallons of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM), a chemical used to clean coal, had leaked out of a storage tank owned by Freedom Industries and into the Elk River in Charleston, W.Va.
Freedom Industries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Friday afternoon. Later Friday, a state DEP spokesman said a company's bankruptcy status does not absolve it of its environmental remediation obligations.
The dean of the School of Science and its chair sent a letter to West Virginia Delegate Don Perdue, D-Wayne, who is chair of the Health and Human Services Committee.
That letter states in part, "Given the important health information, we feel great care should be used in recommending ingestion of water with readily detectable concentrations of the chemical."
"It comes down to people's sense of personal risk and if they're willing to take that risk," Castellani said. "West Virginia American says it's safe. I don't know that they're wrong, I don't know that they're right, but I don't know that they're wrong."

I have a unicorn named Dream.
His coat is snowflake white.
We ride upon a rainbow
Till the daylight turns to night.
Some say I am just a dreamer.
That he too is just a dream.
There is no such thing as a unicorn.
Only what I make him seem.
Then how come I can fly,
Touching rainbows as I go.
Resting on wispy clouds,
Looking down on life below.
You may not believe
The things I say I do.
Maybe It's because
You have no faith in you.
I have heard them laugh
As I set about my task.
Never did they take the time
To question why or even ask.
Yes, I may be a dreamer
In what is not so understood.
Never have I turned my back.
Something that I never would.
So if you have dream,
Let no one criticize.
It's you that must believe in it
Not through others eyes.
So saddle up your Dream.
And ride it to the end.
I am sure that you will find
You'll never have a better friend .

At $200,000 a ticket it isn't cheap but it is definitely out of this world and you get a great view. Virgin Galactic's plans to be the first space tourism business really took off after SpaceShipOne won the Ansari X-Prize back in 2004.
Virgin Galactic
The science-fiction pundits were wrong. The future of space travel doesn't look like a Buck Rogers-style rocket poised to roar straight up into the twinkling heavens from a tinkerer's backyard. What space travel will look like, according to a company called Stratolaunch Systems−which includes board member and backyard tinkerer Burt Rutan−is kind of unsurprising, more airplane-like, although no less fantastical.
EADS Astrium (Stand H23) is displaying a model of its proposed Space Plane, which would require seven years of development between actual program launch and first commercial flight.
Global airlines are still suffering reduced demand for flights, but the Virgin Group's dream of launching passenger flights into space has received a boost in the form of significant new investment from Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments. The Middle East firm will invest about $280 million to take a 32-percent stake in Virgin Galactic, valuing the subsidiary at almost $900 million.
When aerospace designer Burt Rutan rolled out his manned suborbital spaceflight program and its centerpiece, SpaceShipOne (SS1), from its Mojave, Calif., hangar in April last year, reporters asked about his plans for space tourism. Rutan said he himself wasn't interested in launching a space tourism business, but he hoped others would be able to use his technology "sometime in the future" to begin a new space industry.
Northrop Grumman now owns 100 percent of Mojave, Calif.-based Scaled Composites. On August 24, Northrop Grumman, which already owned 40 percent of Scaled, closed on the purchase of the remaining 60 percent. Scaled continues to work on the program to deliver SpaceShipTwo to Virgin Galactic. "The relationship between Scaled Composites and the Virgin Group is unchanged by this transaction," a Northrop Grumman spokesman told AIN.
For many years, companies such as Space Expeditions, Space Adventures and even some airlines have been seriously talking about lofting paying passengers into space on privately operated (non-governmental) vehicles. When Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne won the X-Prize on Oct. 5, 2004, it dawned on people that this idea was a real near-term probability.
A relaxed regulatory environment and increasing development in the fledgling space tourism industry may lead to opportunities for privately owned passenger-carrying space vehicles by the end of the decade, suggested government and industry officials at space-related hearings and conferences in February.
Virgin Group boss Sir Richard Branson is touting the UAE as one of the world's first space tourism centers when his Virgin Galactic venture begins suborbital flights at the end of the decade.

Taking it back to the creative…
The painful truth… Victim of my own making…
It's a hard one to swallow! But be honest I have done most of this to myself. It started of as art but then got taken over by the need for attention.
They take you in chew u up! Then out the other end 💩
Despite everything I still am a fool, foolish is me cant help it but I am a fool.
If you stand for nothing you fall for everything!
I am a foooooooooool!!!
I think I just got mugged off! Oh well!
What I would say if I had the guts… "why the games? Tell me one way or another thought maybe this one was different mmmmmmmn! Got to wind your neck in and be honest one way or the other. … But I don't so I just do the waiting game but I am a little rubbish at this honesty is my policy straight up!

To understand how legitimate the 14th amendment option is, it is important to think what would be the outcome in a reverse situation – where government contractors, employees, bond holders, soldiers, doctors, senior citizens, etc… all could, in theory, have standing to constitutionally challenge a failure to raise the debt ceiling.

Artists - particularly those that are independent or unsigned and do not have support of major labels or management in handling their social media presence - are often unsure of where to even start. The Q&A portions of music conferences nowadays invariably involve questions around where artists should place their social focus, how widespread their presence should be and what is most likely going to help them get their music heard. In the data provided in Next Big Sound's recently published State of the Industry report for 2012, there are several insights that artists looking to answer these question can walk away with.
Make Sure Your Music Is Online
For starters, if you aren't already, get social with your music. The billions of online plays and new fans is a staggering number and is also rapidly increasing year by year. Radio spins can be extremely difficult to obtain, but there are no restrictions online - other than that the your music you upload is your own, and the web has become a place where potential fans can and will find you: make sure you're there in full force.
Where Should You Put It?
As for where you should be getting social, music distribution website SoundCloud has rapidly become a great platform for independent and unsigned artists. Not only is it the fastest growing social network in terms of music, but two-thirds of the plays tracked on the site last year, were of independents and unsigned acts.
And don't restrict yourself to the audio side of things; visual content is key, with YouTube also on a steady rise, even if all you post is a low-budget lyric video, make sure to grow your presence here as well.
Wikipedia is also on a steady rise when it comes to fans checking out bands. While the site may restrict you from editing your own page, make sure that accurate information about who you are is out there. Once they have come across your music, fans are often curious to learn more and it can be beneficial to satisfy that curiosity. The report shows page views for artist profiles on Wikipedia went up 25 percent last year and previous studies demonstrate that artist websites and Wikipedia pages are highly correlated to digital album sales.
Be Creative
Ingenuity with your social strategy can also pay off. The Lumineers offered their fans a digital sneak peek of their album in return for connecting a Facebook profile or Twitter account. This strategy helped them triple the number of new page likes and followers added in the month following release. Learn from The Lumineers: give your fans something in return for their social allegiance.
At the end of the day, making music is about making great music. Managing several social accounts can be an overwhelming task, but has become an important aspect of getting your music heard, landing gigs and establishing a fan base. Be wary of taking on too much and ensure that you are able to actively engage with fans across these platforms.

Wizards at Pistons: the Game 1 Story via Twitter
A bunch of people picked (by themselves) to watch the Washington Wizards, saw basketball lives unfold on screen (or in person), and possessed the gall to tweet about it. And then those tweets, those mini-social broadcasting nuggets, were collected to tell the story of all those who watched the same live event. — I think that's just a fancy way to say that this is simply a Twitter recap, collected by Storify, and channeled to a blog post, #Wizards Twitter style. Hopefully you'll enjoy this TAI experiment, and thanks if you happened to take part.

which to locate the Forum discussions and possible frameworks within which to consider dual use life sciences issues.
Drs. Coupland and Cosivi focused on public health approaches to the potential risks posed by the misuse of products of life sciences and biotechnology, particularly infectious microorganisms. Both the ICRC and the WHO have focused their efforts on analyzing risk factors, effects, and preventive measures. The ICRC has developed the concept of a "web of prevention," in which complementary and interacting efforts from multiple stakeholders combine to offer protection from an outbreak of disease. The presentation drew an analogy to the multiple layers of protection that help prevent or reduce injuries from fires, including smoke alarms, flame-retardant materials, sprinkler systems, and dedicated fire departments. The talk also highlighted the role of the scientific community in fostering a safety and security culture and in raising awareness among scientists of potential risks related to the development, production, and delivery of microbial agents.
Ottorino Cosivi provided Forum participants with a complementary framework used by the WHO in considering global health security. This consisted of a series of interlocking puzzle pieces representing contributions from the areas of ethics, policy, collaborations and support, and laboratory safety and security, which together combined to form the norms, standards, and supporting activities to help manage health security risks. Risk management in this public health context could also be viewed as a matrix in which diverse actors on individual to international levels (including scientific associations, public health laboratories, publishers, funding partners, security communities, and the public) each undertake a range of activities to address components of this puzzle.
As an intergovernmental body, WHO has focused many of its efforts on assisting member countries by working to develop risk assessment methodologies and to produce a tool kit of resources with multiple risk management options. WHO has formed a scientific working group on life science research and global health security that recommended five areas for action: education and training, disease outbreak preparedness, risk assessment methodology development, stakeholder engagement, and capacity building.1 WHO held a regional workshop in Thailand in December 2007 that recommended further actions by both WHO and its member countries in many of these areas. 2

Note: This post contains spoilers for the NXT Women's Title tournament.
AJ Lee certainly isn't your typical WWE Diva, and neither is Paige. Both have spent their fair share of time in the indies and have developed characters and looks that set them apart from the rest.
Having developed a kinship with the younger Diva, AJ took a picture with Paige while at the NXT tapings last night, tweeting it today:
And while we're talking about #DivasRedefined , Who would've thought these two weirdos would make it? pic.twitter.com/awmB42BIWS
— A.J. (@WWEAJLee) July 12, 2013
While they're far from being "weirdos", it's nice to see two women who have given their blood, sweat and tears for a shot at the big time actually get that shot–and hold titles as well!
LOVE this picture!
I love the picture too but it just makes me sick how the championships look. they look like toys.
Only if the WWE had a wome tag team division…
I would cry so hard if that happened, you don't even know
You know they'd originally planned to bring back the Women's Tag Title's with the Bella Twin's in mind for the becoming the champions, but due to the fact it was around the time the Bella's were leaving last year, the idea was nixed.
Ugh I love it. My two faves. I love that Maria supports these two. There was also a picture of bailey hugging her. Too cute.
i actually can't wait for that match. it would be brilliant one.
2 indy wrestlers holding wwe female titles.
I know a lot of diva dirters are hating lol.
Like omg AJ and Paige are soo overated, why is AJ getting all the screen time, etc.
When a female pro wrestler gets signed by WWE: like omg she doesn't look like a Diva, she looks like a butterface, I don't think she's going to last in WWE, oh she's looks "basic"
When a person with no previous wrestling experience gets signed: Like omg she's my favorite new Diva because she's soo pretty, she's going to slay, stan, whatever. Let's follow the person on twitter and call her a "queen" and make a pointless fan site when no one really knows about previous background
Or to even calling former talent cuss words and being perceived as "bitter" because talking about a "favorite"
People have talked just as much shit about kaitlyn , the Bella's , aksana , & taryn (mostly before she had her matches with Gail) as they do with girls like AJ & Paige. That doesn't automatically mean that they hate all models does it??
And the smarks go wild…
Wwe's most popular divas, PAIGE AND AJ LEE! Those two worked HARD in indies and deserved to be where they are, ON TOP of their own division! I really hope to see a feud between those two in the future because they are A-MA-ZING!
Fingers crossed for them to have either a alliance or feud when Paige is called up
Even if you don't click on the article you can still see Paige with the title, which ultimately spoils the tournament. There's no point of saying this post contains spoilers, when it's already been spoiled by the picture on the homepage of the website. At least put a spoiler picture up next time *tut tut*
Lmfao I was thinking this.
Lol they should have switched the titles, since Divas title is bigger than NXT Women's title, which would fit perfectly for AJ's tiny waist. Anyway, glad to see two champs who worked hard to get to WWE and to win these titles. Congratulations!
The current top divas are both talented and deserving. Nice work WWE, finally.
It's just kind of funny to me that the "misfit" Divas who both claim to be so different from the other Divas are basically carbon copies of one another. So much for the diversity they both claim to herald.
How so? Paige has a goth-rocker vibe, and AJ has more of a tomboy geeky vibe. Is it the black shirts and the black hair? I don't see it.
They both have absolutely different styles,so I'm not gonna even pretend I understand what you meant.
He was trying to sound witty, but failed flat on his face. Boop, there's always next time.
Me: *sobs*
Great picture!! Both have busted their ass to get what they've always wanted! It really warms my heart :)
Awesome picture. I love these two.
Two Divas who definitely have put in the effort to get where they are :)
And did anyone think of 'Welcome to the Island of Misfit Toys' from Perks of Being a Wallflower when they read the title? Nope?…Just me? okay…
Am I the only one who finds them both a tad bit overrated?
I've always found that Paige is missing that certain "spark" with her wrestling. She has the character, but her matches despite being clean, fall incredibly flat for me.
And I just cant believe Aj as a heel what so ever. In real life someone of Kaitlyn's size could stomp a hole into Aj. The only time I have liked Aj is during her matches as a babyface. The only time it is believable for someone of her size to win, is if they are using lucha type moves.
They're both solid talents who deserve the limelight, but their fanbase comprises of some highly insufferable pretentious snobs. Their apprenticeships in the independent scene makes it unimaginably wrong to say anything bad about them. For instance, I could connect more with AJ if I didn't feel like being a fan would be akin to joining a cult.
See below when one is labelled bitter for voicing an alternative opinion.
Love them both and I'm so sick and tired of the haters so whatevs, I'm not gonna sweat it. These women worked their asses off and I support and wish them both well.
I don't think they're overrated. You may not like that AJ gets so much attention,but she started from the bottom…making out with Hornswaggle;being destroyed by the divas on Smackdown;getting a storyline that many thought would go nowhere [with DB],but while many other divas would've feel sorry for themselves,AJ had enough talent and experience to bring life to her character and of course,when people at the back see that you actually bring it they will give you more chances.C'mon…that SD segment once again proved that AJ is CM Punk on the mic,her reactions were great and she gives the other person something to work with.
IMO AJ helps a lot to get Kaitlyn over.Kaitlyn gets better and better with her reactions and mic skills seens she has been involved in this feud.
I'm sure if back in the day those forums were so popular,Lita and Trish would've been called overrated on every damn arcticle about them.
This! Totally agree 100%
AJ and Paige both have the potential to be the next Trish and Lita.
I love them both and to people saying they're overrated etc… GFY and take your bitter ass elsewhere.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just because Paige is your favorite, doesn't mean that everyone else has to cum over her existence.
paige looks adorable with the belt. i love that she's british. :)

Synthetic Drugs In Cross Hairs Of Minn. Lawmakers
Minnesota may be taking a big step to stop the sale of synthetic drugs in the state. A special committee of lawmakers approved a sweeping set of changes Wednesday to end what some describe as an "epidemic."

The drugs have exotic names and seductive websites, but they're easily available on Minnesota Main Streets.
'Steve's Law' Seeks To Fight Heroin Epidemic
A woman who lost her fiancé to a heroin overdose says Minnesota lawmakers can do something about a growing epidemic that will save lives.

- High blood pressure—Blood passes through filters in the kidney, which remove excess fluid and waste. High blood pressure puts too much stress on these filters and damages them. Fewer filters decrease the kidneys' ability to function.
- Diabetes—The disease process often causes damage to smaller blood vessels. When smaller blood vessels in the kidney are damaged, blood cannot pass through to be filtered.
- Kidney disease—There are conditions that directly affect the kidney like infections, hereditary cystic disease, and inflammatory disease that can directly impair kidney function or damage kidney parts.
- Toxins—Certain toxins, typically from long-term exposure, damage the kidney. This can include alcohol, cocaine, heavy metals, and solvents. As the kidney tries to remove the toxin, it can be exposed to higher amounts.
- Renal artery stenosis —In arterial stenosis, blood vessels are narrowed and can become blocked. This impairs or even stops blood flow. If blood cannot pass through the kidneys it cannot be filtered.
- Protein is a vital part of your diet. It works to build muscle and repair tissue. However, when the body is done using it, there is a waste product called urea. A weakened kidney may have trouble filtering this. This includes protein from animal and plant sources. You need protein in your diet, but work with a dietitian to understand just how much you actually need and how to reduce it if necessary.
- Calorie intake can consist largely of proteins. If you have decreased the amount of protein you eat, you may need to substitute healthy fats or carbohydrates to keep well-nourished. A well-nourished diet can provide all the necessary nutrients in appropriate amount of calories. Being overweight will also place extra stress on your kidneys and increase your risk of heart disease. Talk with a dietitian to create a balanced plan.
- Phosphorus is a chemical commonly found in dairy products, nuts, dried beans, and beverages like soft drinks, cocoa, and beer. A damaged kidney may not be able to remove this from your blood. High levels of phosphorus in the blood can decrease calcium in your bones, making them susceptible to breaking.
- Sodium is an element tied to high blood pressure and kidney disease. It can affect your fluid levels. It is not only found in table salt that you add to your food, but is already included in many products, particularly snack foods, fast foods, and luncheon meats.
Overall Fitness
- Overall health—Staying physically active can help your entire body work better. This will give you more energy, decrease wear and tear on joints and bones, and decrease the burden on your heart.
- Disease management—Health concerns closely related to kidney disease, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol , and diabetes, can be prevented or managed with regular physical activity.
- Mind boost—Managing a chronic disease can be very stressful. Physical activity has been shown to decrease stress and anxiety.

It Was the Best of Teens, It Was the Worst of Teens
It was 4:20 and the teens felt great, man, but they also had impaired cognitive abilities. It was the post-9/11 era, the effects of which were being felt in increasingly tragic and bizarre ways. It was the season of light beer, the season of darkness, the season of hope. Teens were on Cloud 9, teens were going to Heaven, and the two things may have been related becauseCloud 9 was a synthetic drug sending Michigan's youth to the hospital. History was changing, literally. In Colorado, AP US history students protested a conservative school board's plan to emphasize "topics that promote citizenship, patriotism, and respect for authority." It was a time a lot like the past; there was a new Bill & Ted's movie planned and another sequel to Dumb and Dumber, featuring original stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
Does technology shape the culture, or does the culture shape technology? The answer to most questions is, "It's complicated." Yik Yak didn't help us write this column and it was unclear if teenagers, "less concerned about privacy and data security than others," would take tonewly-launched anti-Facebook social network Ello. Internet consumption was still high, though, as was consumption of the "rave drug Molly." That's why a father shared a photo of his daughter on life support, following her attendance at a Denver rave. "This could be your child. Mine was responsible and did well in school. These raves are death peddlers." Snapchat remained a popular way for teenagers to run afoul of the law. A Wyoming high school student took a selfie whilst giving a boy oral sex and now persons who shared the image could be charged for having child pornography. Two girls were kidnapped at knifepoint after sneaking out of a slumber party. Depending on how you look at things, cell phones either helped them to safety or allowed thousands of people to listen to their harrowing post-escape 911 call.

I honestly thought this was about washing when i first saw it. I thought it was going to be the most exciting greeting card I'd ever seen. then I opened it and put it together that those aren't just a bunch of random animals suggesting you bathe. It's a mobile. And showers are for babies. I know, I am dumb. Anyway, I fixed it so it's better now. And a little creepy.
(In an attempt to insert absurdity into stranger's lives, I buy greeting cards, sign them, and then put them back on the shelf.)
