I'm looking for help on how to write a function that would hide an item from within the dashboard for a user with an Editor role. I'm using the WooCommerce plugin and wanted to hide the WooCommerce menu items from any user that has an Editor role.
I would prefer not to use a plugin.
I found another post with more or less what I'm looking for: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-add-css-to-admin-backend-to-displaynone-specific-menu-items?replies=14
function custom_colors() {
global $user_level;
if ($user_level != '10' ) {
echo '<style type="text/css">
/* Styles here! */
add_action('wp_head', 'custom_colors');
I've tried using this but it doesn't seem to work, does anyone know if this needs to be adjust for the latest version of WP 3.5?
Can anyone help on this please?

I would like to uninstall a Sharepoint application template (GroupBoard Workspace to be exact) but I want to make sure nothing currently relies on it. I don't see any functions within stsadm that will tell me this information and I have even tried SPM which would work, but with such a huge site it's tedious to go through every single web and page to see which features are in use.
Is there a way (probably with SQL using the id from
stsadm -o enumsolutions) to list everything that relies on a template within a given solution, including webparts on custom pages? If this is not possible, what is the best way to check dependencies prior to uninstalling a solution (especially since GBW is not the only one on my axe list.)
Note: I know that
stsadm -o deletesolution will stop me from removing something that is in use, but I want to see all of the things that are using a given solution.

Re: War on O'Reilly
From yesterday's Washington Post:
Laura Bush , ducking into the Georgetown Pottery Barn yesterday for barely five minutes, wearing a bright blue suit and wishing shoppers "Happy Holidays" in a very perky way. Didn't buy anything — maybe just making her wish list?
Andrew Sullivan dares O'Reilly to go after the Bush family and says of the First Lady…
She's a heathen, I tell you. A disgusting liberal heathen.
Yes, she isat least by O'Reilly's crypto-Christian-fascist standards. O'Reilly believes that wishing people "Happy Holidays" is somehow oppressing Christians, and Christian groups are going after retailers that use HH in places of "Merry Christmas." Funnily enough, the White House sent out cards wishing folks a happy "holiday season," not a Merry Christmas, which pissed off Bush's base. Oh, and so did FOX News, O'Reilly's employercheck out this invite to their "Holiday Party." For shame.

I'm looking to get a direct connection between an office and a flat across the street. The flat will be using this as its internet connection so VPN is out of the question.
I'd like to make the connection with two antennas that I would put in the windows; there's perfect line of sight, but three layers of glass in the way. Distance is about 100 meters.
- I'd like it to be cheap. The cheaper the better.
- I'd like it to be fast. At least 10Mbps, although 50Mbps would be nice.
- I'd like it to be reliable in that I wouldn't need to fiddle with the antennas every week.
- Low latency (under 100ms) is a major plus.
Which hardware should I get to do that? Are there risks in this approach that I should be aware of?

NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - INSIDE SLANT
A furious rally by the San Diego Chargers ran out of steam in Sunday's 24-17 loss at the Denver Broncos, and with it came the end to a Chargers season that lasted far longer than anyone would have anticipate back in early December.
"We're extremely disappointed. We're hurting," safety Eric Weddle said. "You work every day, every hour every minute for a chance at the ultimate goal -- the Super Bowl. And then to have that goal not attained, it's hard to deal with. It will take a very long time to get over it, if you ever do. The only real chance you do have is to get back in this position and move forward.
"But for this team, to fight down 17-0, it could easily have been a blowout. But we stuck with it, kept believing in each other. It just shows the character of this team, that we're never going to give up. Hopefully, that character, that toughness will stick with us for years to come."
The Chargers beat the Broncos in Denver during the regular season while playing one of their best games of the season. The loss that ended San Diego's season did not feature anywhere close to the same level of execution.
The Chargers had five neutral zone infractions, numerous issues handling the crowd noise and several dropped passes. And nothing was more painful than a blown coverage on a 21-yard completion by Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning to tight end Julius Thomas on a third-and-17 play with the Chargers attempting to get the ball back for one final drive.
"We had a miscommunication and it got us," Weddle said. "It was great execution by them and not by us. It cost us the game or the chance to at least tie it up."
Manning converted another third down with a 9-yard completion to Thomas, Moreno then gained 5-yards on a third-and-1 play, and with the Chargers out of timeouts, Manning took a knee at the San Diego 32-yard line to run out the last few seconds and culminate what was a classic four-minute "keep-away" drive.
"It was very frustrating watching it," said Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, who caught a pair of 16-yard touchdown passes from Rivers. "With third-and-17, I was thinking we were definitely going to get the ball back. And we were feeling good on the offensive side, having the momentum. It was just unfortunate we didn't get it."
Rivers finished 18 of 27 for 217 yards passing but was without running back Ryan Mathews in the second half. Mathews started the game despite an ankle injury that forced him to miss practice this week but was unable to finish.
"We got it going pretty good and (the Broncos) knew it," Rivers said. "If we got it one more time, I believe deep down we would've tied that thing up. Those are all a bunch of what ifs."
While disappointed in not keeping the storybook roll going at least one more week, the Chargers still enter the offseason with plenty of momentum moving forward.
"It took us too long to get the ball rolling and start executing. (But) in one season, we've turned around this organization and we're heading in the right direction," said center Nick Hardwick. "There's a lot of pride in this room. There's a lot of tough guys in this room who have fought through a lot of injuries this year and gave until they couldn't give any more."
NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - NOTES, QUOTES
--The Chargers' defense jumped offside five times during the game, drawn into the repeated neutral-zone infractions by Peyton Manning's hard count. The mistakes cost San Diego on a couple of Broncos' scoring drives.
"You'd think after a couple we would learn from it," Chargers safety Eric Weddle said. "But that's Peyton being as great as he is, mixing it up, dummying his calls. He kept us off guard throughout the entire game. It was exceptional by him."
--First-year coach Mike McCoy led San Diego to a 5-1 finish in the regular season and a playoff win before their season ended. While expressing disappointment over the postseason loss to the Broncos, he likes the direction the team is heading.
"We came up short," he said. "We've got to win more games and be the last one standing. That's the ultimate goal. ... But I told the players, 'Keep your heads high.' They did a lot of really good things as a football team this year. We got a lot accomplished in a short amount of time."
--The Chargers and Broncos, AFC West divisional rivals, met for the first time in the postseason after playing each other 108 times previously.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Offensively, we found a rhythm. Keenan (Allen) made some tremendous plays. Guys stepped up. Collectively, we were able to get going eventually, but when you play a team like Denver, it's just so hard. We ran out of time to come back." -- Chargers tight end Antonio Gates.
NFL Team Report - San Diego Chargers - STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL
--RB Ryan Mathews started the game but he wasn't able to finish. Mathews, who missed practice last week because of a lingering ankle injury, rushed for 26 yards on five carries, and he didn't play in the second half.
--LB Manti Te'o did not play in the second half after suffering a concussion making a tackle just before halftime.
--CB Marcus Gilchrest left the game in the second half after colliding helmets with a teammate while making a tackle.
--RG Jeromey Clary was among the team's inactive players after missing practice all week due to a shoulder injury.
The Chargers' other inactives at Denver were: DT Sean Lissemore, QB Brad Sorensen, WR Lavelle Hawkins, S Brandon Taylor, CB Marcus Cromartie and OT Kenny Wiggins.

Fajita Chicken and Rice Bake With Nacho Topping
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
I was trying to find a healthy, flavourful meal and this hit the spot. The topping is not quite so healthy but the crushed nachos give the meal a well-balanced flavour.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 large chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tablespoon oil (or cooking spray for a healthier option)
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet fajita seasoning mix
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 3⁄4 cup corn
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 cups mild salsa
- 1 1⁄2 cups grated cheese
- 2 ounces nacho chips (should produce 1/2 cup crumbs)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- Start boiling the rice in 2 cups of water, covered. This should take 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet. Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup water and fajita seasoning.
- Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, corn and garlic.
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken and vegetables are cooked and the liquid has mostly reduced.
- Add the salsa to the chicken mixture in the pan and stir.
- When the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid, add the rice to the chicken salsa mixture and stir. Pour into a 10x6 or equivalent baking tray.
- Top with 1 cup of the cheese.
- Crush the nachos into crumbs and scatter evenly over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until bubbling.
- Serve and enjoy!

Nice flavour and easy to assemble. I used an extra chunky, extra mild salsa. I'm not very good with spicy heat. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag. :)
Quick preparation and great taste! I already had some leftover long grain rice in the fridge, so it was even quicker to put together after the veggies were cooked. Thanks for sharing!
I left the vegetables out of this dish as a personal preference. We topped the dish with sour cream when serving. Made for PAC Fall 09.

Pardee's Interim CEO accepts job permanently
Financial contract pending
Published: Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 1:38 p.m.
Henderson County-owned Pardee Hospital has hired a new CEO two months after firing former top administrator Bob Goodwin amid financial turmoil.
More information:
Jon Schurmeier
Age: 68
Wife: Sally
Retired as president and CEO of Southwest Community Health System in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, in January after 33 years.
Prior to Pardee:
During his career at Southwest Community Health System, Schurmeier worked with the Health Center board to create both a 340-bed hospital and a fundraising foundation.
Under his direction, Southwest Community Health System added a laser center, implemented a hospice program, built a residential hospice facility, expanded the Emergency Department, opened a coronary care unit and grew from 275 beds to 340 beds.
Schurmeier helped create two urgent-care centers in Ohio, as well as a retail pharmacy, several medical office buildings, a cancer diagnostic and therapy facility, a womens diagnostic center and an 83,000-square-foot health and wellness center.
Since Pardee: Started Aug. 17 as interim CEO, making $28,000 a month without insurance benefits. Initially said he was not interested in the full-time position.
Pardee Hospital
Owned by Henderson County
Employees: 1,350 at hospital and clinics
Annual ER visits: 31,470
Licensed hospital beds: 222; nursing facility beds 130
Former President Bob Goodwins annual salary: $305,760
Former Chief Operating Officer Sandy Smiths annual salary: $188,254
Interim CEO Jon Schurmeiers monthly salary, $28,000
Schurmeiers salary as permanent CEO, still being negotiated
On Wednesday, interim CEO Jon Schurmeier accepted the permanent position, pending final contract negotiations.
Hospital board Chairman Ron Stephens made the announcement at a regular board meeting.
"I think he is eminently qualified and brings many pluses to the community," Stephens, who is also a candidate for Hendersonville mayor, told the board and Henderson County Commissioners Larry Young and Shannon Baldwin who were attending.
Though publicly-owned, Pardee receives no tax-payer money from the county's general fund. Recent financial troubles, including budget deficits, raised the specter of whether the hospital would need such support or should be sold.
A 2006 budget, passed at the meeting and projecting a budget surplus, as well as Schurmeier's hiring has given many hope for continued stability.
The board selected Schurmeier as interim CEO on Aug. 11.
At the time, the retired hospital director said he had no interest in serving as the full-time replacement and that during his interview was told the board, "didn't want to talk to anyone who wanted to be the full-time CEO."
But Wednesday, he said working with the Pardee staff changed his mind.
"It's funny, when I took this interim role, I don't think I realized how much I missed doing this. But you get down here, and you get a lot of people around you who are really splendid to be around, and you see stuff that you think you can help with ... and here I am."
A company hired to help find a CEO received 275 inquires about the position at Pardee. The company had recently narrowed a list of final candidates down to 11, Stephens said. At that time, he approached Schurmeier and asked him if he would be interested in the position.
On Tuesday morning, a search committee made up of select hospital board members voted to recommend Schurmeier for the job.
Wednesday, the full board discussed hiring Schurmeier during a more-than-hour-long closed session.
Stephens said during that time they voted to make the offer to him pending a final contract negotiation.
Once the contract is finalized, the board will reveal the CEO's salary, the chairman said.
That evening, hospital attorney Sharon Alexander said the closed session vote was permissible under state law for three reasons: it was an employee matter, it was not the final vote on the hiring and because hospitals receive special protection under state law.
State law allows public bodies to withhold some information about employees and it protects hospitals from having to reveal information that puts them at a competitive disadvantage.
But the hiring or firing of an employee must be done in an open meeting.
Schurmeier received praise from board members, including Search Committee Chairman Campbell Boyd and Board of Commissioners Chairman Bill Moyer, who represents commissioners on the Pardee board as a non-voting member.
Boyd said Schurmeier was well-liked by employees and the community. He added, "in the short time he has been here, Jon has already made some great strides in putting our hospital back on the right track."
Moyer called Schurmeier's selection "very positive for the hospital."
"If I had a vote, I would definitely vote for him," he said.
But Schurmeier faces some immediate challenges, including hiring a permanent CFO, making an expensive decision on fixing or replacing the clinical computer system and dealing with continued deficits of two sets of out-of-house practices, Urgent Care and Western Carolina Medical Associates.
Schurmeier said the hospital was doing "fine" with House, but refused to say how he was leaning on a final hire.
The two practices would have to be dealt with carefully because of all the patients involved, while the computer system needed the buy-in of as many employees as possible, he said.
"I'm the first guy to say, I'm not sure you can satisfy everybody all the time. But we really need to make an effort to at least have everybody understand what we are bringing in here," he said.

Chabrol's 1963 film is still very interesting and entertaining, it
looks great, has some deliciously sardonic dialogue, a real sense of
evocative atmosphere and Charles Denner's ideal performance as Landru.
But for me, this film from 2005 was superior, it has more depth, treats
the subject and the man more sympathetically and is more controlled.
Like Chabrol's film, Desire Landru(2005) could have been a little better, a couple of subplots were not as developed as they could have been and didn't add an awful lot and while more interesting and much less tedious than how it was depicted in Chabrol's film the trial is too rushed, more could have been done with how Landru defended himself in court. However, the film does look great, the landscapes and scenery are very elegant, the period detail so effective in how evocative it is it is like early 20th century France come to life(if not quite as much as with Chabrol) and it's skilfully photographed. There is a better music score here too, on its own it is beautiful and has moments of great tension and even better is how well it fits with the film, being remarkably subtle.
While I did enjoy how Chabrol's film was written, more so than most anyway, I still prefer the writing and the way the story is told here. The two versions took two very different approaches, Chabrol's was more sly, more cynical and more sardonic whereas the writing here was more controlled and dealt with the subject more seriously and matter-of-factly. There are instances where the dialogue is still very witty and playful in the early parts but generally is more composed and thoughtful at the same time without ever dissolving into melodrama, which it could easily have done considering the subject. Like Chabrol's film, Desire Landru(2005) deals with Landru's life and crimes very closely and presents it in a way that's interesting despite having a more serious and measured approach than the earlier version. The scenes with Landru and the women are charming with a foreboding undercurrent when you know what's going to happen and the crimes and methods are chilling and suspenseful. This version apart from the rushed trial is much more consistently paced, Chabrol's pacing is mostly fine but the trial in his version doesn't have anywhere near the level of detail seen in the rest of the film and the pace slackened as a result. Here, the pacing is very controlled and assured throughout, but not once does it get dull.
The direction is deft, and like Chabrol(though Chabrol handles it a little stronger, so evocatively done it was in his version that you could literally smell, feel and hear it), does a good job evoking the cultures, atmosphere and environment of early 20th century France. The characters are given more depth and dealt with more sympathetically, even Landru. The urbane-charm-on-the-surface and chillingly irredeemable monster traits are more than present and not once trivialised, even when a dose of humanity is injected, quite a feat considering that Landru was one of the most infamous serial killers of all time. Patrick Timsit's performance as Landru is even more brilliant than that of Charles Denner's for Chabrol, it is a softer and more subtle interpretation and with even more of the urbane charm, cynical wit and menace. The women are all touchingly played.
All in all, very, very well done version and while Chabrol's film has a lot to recommend it in a lot of ways I found this to be the more superior version of Landru's life and crimes. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Assuming that the joint distribution of the lifetimes of online unit and standby unit and the repair time of a failed unit in a two unit warm standby system is trivariate exponential, measures of system performance such as system reliability, MTBF, point availability and steady state availability are obtained. see Marshall and Olkin (J Amer Statist Assoc 62:30–44, 1967). Further, a 100(1-α) % asymptotic confidence interval for steady state availability of the system and an estimator of system reliability based on moments are obtained. Numerical work is carried out to illustrate the behaviour of steady state availability as well as the system reliability based on moments by simulating samples from trivariate exponential distribution.

Securing Personal Health Records in Cloud Computing: Patient-Centric and Fine-Grained Data Access Control in Multi-Owner Settings
Online Personal Health Record (PHR) enables patients to manage their own medical records in a centralized way, which greatly facilitates the storage, access and sharing of personal health data. With the emergence of cloud computing, it is attractive for the PHR service providers to shift their PHR applications and storage into the cloud, in order to enjoy the elastic resources and reduce the operational cost. However, by storing PHRs in the cloud, the patients lose physical control to their personal health data, which makes it necessary for each patient to encrypt her PHR data before uploading to the cloud servers. Under encryption, it is challenging to achieve fine-grained access control to PHR data in a scalable and efficient way.

I'm sitting with a potential client who is building a nascent software company that might – or might not – be the next great discovery in his particular industry.
The problem is Mr. Entrepreneur just got back from his investment road show and he's still in sales mode. That means he can't answer any question with a simple response. Instead he hems and haws, pivoting away from every question and barreling headfirst into his prepackaged sales pitch.
He starts each answer with a "so" or a "well" and ends each sentence with his voice raising in pitch until only dogs can hear him. It sounds like I'm listening to a nervous 14-year old girl in the Hollywood Hills.
Finally, a smart woman sitting at the table asks him what he wants to achieve. "Well, I guess, it would be helpful if I was a thought leader" he answered slowly. "So I'd like to get on TV."
Next she asks, "Do you really believe in your brand? Do you have a blog? Do you write?"
"So, we have a website and we repost articles and thoughts from others in the space. It generates lots of reciprocal traffic. Do you know that when we reposted Peter Thiel's article about students no longer needing to go to college it got us our highest readership ever?"
"And who benefitted from that?" she asked rhetorically. "You or Peter Thiel?"
"So, I think that if we…"
That's when the camel's back snapped in two.
"You really think you believe in your brand? Do you know you haven't answered a single question with a simple 'yes' or a 'no'? Each one of your answers is a diversion, a sales pitch, a bunch of hooey. You've been asked the same question from three different people and you haven't answered it once. No matter what the question is you don't answer it, you just pivot away to the same sales pitch you've been delivering for weeks."
"You know who's the perfect illustration of this? President John F. Kennedy. In 1961 he proclaimed that we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard …because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win…"
"Of course Kennedy had no way of knowing if we could actually get to the moon. There was no technological reason for him to believe it was possible. And everything in the country – from science education to financing to manufacturing – had to change to make it happen. But JFK did what a leader does. He boldly laid out the future and the rest of the country followed him into it. He didn't equivocate, he didn't question it, and sadly he didn't live to see it.
But we took his direction and reached the goal. And we even did it a few months before our deadline. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin fulfilled Kennedy's prophecy when they became the first humans to set foot on the moon."
The rest of the room just stared back slack jawed. I thought that perhaps she had gone too far but what the hell. In for a penny, in for a pound. She started up again:
"When did you stop believing? You got into this business for a reason, for a big idea. At some point you thought enough of your big idea to quit your job, take out a second mortgage on your house, put the rest of your life on hold, and give everything to this new business. You had to convince your parents, reassure your wife, and explain it all to your boss. And you did it because you believed. You believed in your idea. You believed in your business. And most of all you believed in yourself. You knew you'd get to the moon, didn't you?"
"Stop repeating what other people are saying. Stop reposting other people's work. Stop overcoming everyone's objections. Stop compromising. Stop selling. Stop saying what you think we want to hear. Stop hearing what you think we want to say. Stop upspeaking. Stop saying 'well.' Stop saying 'so." Stop saying 'like.' Stop hemming and stop hawing."
"Look at Trump. Look at Brexit. Look at Elon Musk. You may not like their politics and you may not like their motivations but you can't question their passion, their ardor, or their results. Is what they're saying true or correct? Will Trump be president? Will England be better? Will we have fully autonomous cars by 2020 or a colony on Mars by 2030? Who the hell knows? But they said we will and their followers believe it."
"If you really believe that your idea can make the world better then do it. Plant your flag. Make your statement. How? Write a book. If you can't write a book, write a manifesto. Declare your future and lead your employees to it. THAT'S the way to both be a thought leader and to create your own opportunity."
"All you have to do is to believe in your brand."
Shorting Stocks
Let me be crystal clear: I'm not a money manager. I'm not a particularly astute investor. And even I wouldn't follow my own advice. In fact, my go-to-line for advice has always been to try shorting stocks I buy. So you've been warned.
But today I think there's a simple way to look for opportunity in the market. Simply watch for marketing trends that inflate big stock values and then come crashing down when the companies can't handle the hype. The opportunity is in shorting stocks of media darlings.
Examples that have already happened? Chipotle and Tesla. An opportunity that's ripe for exploitation right now? Keep reading.
Thanks to their inability to manage their food borne illness image crises, Chipotle's March 7th high of $533 tumbled to $390 on July 7th. Even if you didn't short at the maximum and sell at the minimum, there was still lots of time to exploit the stock's volatility. Melissa Francis and I talked about Chipotle's problems on FOX Business on December 11 and again on June 10.
Or how about Tesla? In July of 2015 their stock was valued at $282. One year later, it's down to $224 and was as low as $143 in February. Why? Because in addition to the typical problems that plague tech startups, the word on TV screens and smartphones around the country is that Tesla's auto-pilot software is killing people. Whether or not the car's self-driving modes are ready for prime time is beside the point. The public believes that Tesla has a problem and their stock reflected that opinion. And all this after almost 400,000 would-be buyers plunked down deposits for Tesla's model 3.
But so what? These potential windfalls have already happened. What you want to know is where is the great opportunity on the horizon for an astute investor like you? Easy. They are hidden in plain sight in today's headlines.
Guess what game just made its namesake $45 million on $160+ million in revenue? It was the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood app and it was downloaded over 45 million times. Forget Bitcoin, gaming is today's new currency.
So is the Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, number 42 on Forbes' Celebrity 100 list, the next big opportunity?
No, it's not Kimmie. Today's prospect is a fat little yellow creature and its friends. Pokémon Go, the mobile app version of the 1990's card trading craze is the next big chance to score. Three days after its release the game been downloaded from Google Play and the iOS App Store about 7.5 million times and that number continues to increase. But more stunning is the company's shareholder value which has already increased over $9 billion. Not bad for a few day's work.
Where's the opportunity then? Not simply because what goes up must come down but because people are going to be dying to play Pokémon Go.
Dying. Literally.
From The New York Post: "Mike Schultz, a 21-year-old communications graduate on Long Island… took a spill on his skateboard as he stared at his phone while cruising for critters early Thursday."
From The New York Daily News: "The MTA tweeted a warning for players not to follow creatures off train platforms. In Missouri, police said they arrested four teens after they allegedly lured victims to remote locations using the game and robbed them."
From The Wall Street Journal: "Dakota Schwartz…sprained his ankle at a park trying to capture a particular Pokémon."
Sure, these injuries are minor but it's just a matter of time before something catastrophic happens. Players will walk into traffic, walk in front of speeding trains, walk off of rooftops and worse. And just like the people who were Dying to be in Facebook people will be dying to play Pokémon Go. Once the liability suits start pouring in you'll be able to fan yourself with the gauge that records the dropping price of the company's inflated stock.
As I said in the beginning of this post, I know next to nothing about buying stocks, shorting stocks, investing or speculation strategy. And until now, shorting stocks has always been something worth doing against my recommendations. But what I do know how to do is build brand value. And I also know when that value is about to come crashing down.
Ashley Madison on Branding Adultery
From last Wednesday's New York Times:
"Ashley Madison, a service that claims to facilitate extramarital affairs, has been in repair mode since last summer, when hackers exposed information attached to more that 30 million accounts and badly bruised the trust upon which its business was built."
The news that there was an app created to facilitate cheating shocked lots of people. Many NYT readers were probably shocked that more than 30 million people had signed up. And lots of spouses were shocked to find their loved ones on the membership roster.
But what stood out to me was the ironic explanation of why Ashley Madison needed to repair their enterprise: Hackers had "badly bruised the trust upon which its business was built." After all, if you are going to have an extramarital affair, and you are going to use a web app to arrange that affair, wouldn't you expect — hell, wouldn't you DEMAND — that your private information about the private things you do with your privates be kept private?
According to the Times, hackers "released nearly 10 gigabytes' worth of stolen data, including details on member's names, phone numbers and payment transactions." It seems the hackers were upset because the company overstated "how many women really used the website." The hackers also complained "the company charged members a $19 fee to scrub their profiles from the site but then failed to do so."
But hold your self-righteous snickering for a moment. This security breech is more serious than it might appear. The Times says that the "…Ashley Madison release of user information had devastating consequences for at least some marriages. Blackmailers threatened to tell wives, and the attempted adultery of prominent people ended up in news pages. A New Orleans pastor, who was married with two children, committed suicide after his name was included in the data dump."
The business was more substantial than you might think, too. More than 45 million members subscribed to Ashley Madison and it earned almost $80 million in revenue.
Regardless of what you think of Ashley Madison's initial business model and extramarital affairs, you have to give them props for creating a business with authentic truth. That is, some people want to cheat on their spouses and Ashley Madison was a safe and secure way to do just that. But once the company found that the they could not walk their talk and provide a discreet way to have an affair they back-pedaled.
Now the company's big solution to their problems is to sell itself as the world's most open-minded dating community. Their new tagline? "Single, attached, looking to explore, or just curious."
Here's their their original laser-focused line: "Life is short, have an affair."
The Three Questions Every Professional Needs to Ask.
As service professionals we all do the same thing.
Sure, I create branding programs and advertising plans and you write screenplays, reconcile trial balances, argue court cases, engineer air-conditioning schematics, run a convention and visitors' bureau, manage finances, diagnose health issues, or whatever it is you do.
But besides the actual technical aspects of our jobs, we both do the same thing. We use our talents, skills, education, experience, knowledge, passion, and time to achieve desired results for our clients or employers.
You fill hotel rooms, protect assets, improve health, reduce taxes, and recommend solutions. I help make my clients' products and services more valuable.
As different as those things might appear, the way we go about them is the same. We each make a promise to our clients and then we spend at least a third (and usually more) of our waking hours living up to our promise.
The trouble is, we often work for clients who don't actually know if we've done a good job or not. Sometimes our successes aren't acknowledged. Sometimes our successes (or failures) are due to circumstances entirely outside our control. And sometimes our clients simply aren't qualified to know how well we've done in the first place.
The Doctor's office called the patient, "Ma'am, your check came back." The patient answered, "So did my arthritis!"
So we all do the same thing and we all have the same problems: We have to promise our clients a successful outcome BEFORE we work for them and then we have to validate our results AFTER we're done.
If that rings true to you, let me suggest three simple questions that I've started asking my clients. They can help with both the before and the after of our engagements.
In other words, "What is your goal?" "What is your plan?" "How will you measure success?"
I find that if we have a substentative conversation with our clients before we undertake an assignment, and then we have an honest debrief after we complete it, we not only do a better job but we can help assure a satisfactory outcome and a satisfied client.
What's more, this simple bit of client service does at least two other good things. It sets us up for additional projects and it pre-writes the testimonial that our clients will use when they recommend us to others. And both of these can lead to new clients and new revenue.
The three questions every professional needs to ask are so valuable that they should become a regular part of every client interaction. And listening carefully to the answers and incorporating them into your work should be a regular part of every assignment you undertake.
Because when you use your talents to satisfy those answers, you'll find you'll satisfy your clients. Regardless of what it is you do, the three questions every professional needs to ask are the three questions you need to ask too.
Unintended Consequences.
In my neighborhood — and probably yours too — there are new signs springing up everywhere. They feature a man bending over behind a dog under these words: "Pet waste transmits disease. Bag waste and clean up after your dog." Apparently there's an epidemic of dogs pooping on people's yards lately because these signs are showing up wherever I look. And so are the legions of obedient dog owners who walk around with plastic bags — both empty and full — hanging out of their pockets.
At first glance the signs seem to make sense. After all, who wants dog poop in their yards? Poop smells, it's unsightly, and it smushes sickenly between your toes if you're unlucky enough to step in it with bare feet when you run out to get the newspaper in the morning.
But wait just a damn second! Isn't poop also used as fertilizer? And don't many of the same people who go to The Home Depot to buy these anti-poop signs for their yards also leave the store with 20 lb. bags of cow manure to feed their lawns? Maybe they should be thanking the pet owners for helping keep their yards green and beautiful instead of lecturing them.
Instead, these same home owners demand the dog lovers scoop up the offending materials and isolate them in securely knotted baggies. This effectively destroys any value the dog droppings offer because after a short stay in the oxygen-free environment of the plastic bag the healthy organisms in the poop die and the fertilizer factor is finished. At that point the bagful truly isn't worth a shit.
Unintended consequences, indeed.
I'm at a marketing workshop at a fancy hotel and I'm in line to grab a cup of coffee and a croissant before the boredom begins. Placed alongside the gleaming silver coffee urns are stacks of cups – both ceramic mugs and paper cups with plastic lids.
I don't know about you, but I think coffee tastes better in porcelain than paper. In my mind (and on my tongue) the coffee stays hotter and doesn't pick up any bitter taste from the cardboard. Plus, the mug is easier to hold, sits better on a table, and is easier to balance when I'm also holding a briefcase and trying to shake hands.
So why do people take the paper cups? Is it because they're used to them from their daily Starbucks habit? Do they think the paper cups hold more? Do they simply not think of the difference and just grab whatever's there? Or is there some other reason they prefer paper?
While I question why people would choose paper over porcelain, there's no question why the hotels prefer paper. Despite their obvious ecological unfriendliness, paper cups are easier to handle and dispose of than ceramic mugs. They're lighter, less expensive, can be stored in much smaller spaces, and don't require washing, drying or restocking. Plus, paper cups don't break. Based on this, it behooves hoteliers to save money by providing paper cups for coffee drinkers who either prefer them or don't know the difference.
Again, an unintended consequence. But unlike the wasted fertilizer, this time the unintended consequence pays dividends to the savvy hotelier.
The importance of these two examples is to illustrate the phenomenon that while things happen that no one expects or plans for — Brexit, Uber, Zika, Donald Trump, skinny jeans – and while their consequences may in fact be unintended, they can present great opportunities to people who pay attention.
The 18th century British Nobleman Baron Rothschild said, "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own." Rothschild, who made a fortune buying everything in sight in the panic that followed Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, understood exactly where the future was going to be. Maybe after reading this blog, you will too.
Unintended consequences, indeed.
While I try to maintain this discussion on the powerful value of branding, some days I simply don't have anything to write about. It doesn't happen often, mind you. But now that I've religiously posted at least one blog post every week since 2007 (778 posts, btw) I must admit there are times when there's not much to say.
There are a number of things I do to keep this from happening. I voraciously consume media – three daily newspapers, lots of magazines, and a number of websites and blogs – to keep up-to-date on our industry and the world around us. I think about what I want to talk about when I run my miles in the morning and when I'm out and about. And I constantly look for illustrations of good and bad branding examples to share with you. I also review a number of search engine protocols to see where people's interests lie. It all creates a simple online focus group of sorts.
I'm also lucky that I'm so interested and involved in the subject that I always have a thought or opinion about what's going on. Because of this, stories on diverse subjects such as increased travel to Cuba or the design of Marcel Breuer's 1928 Cresca chair can be compelling inspiration for a post. Truth be told, my fingers often take over the writing when my brain can't. That is, sometimes I just put my fingers on the keyboard and start typing and the thoughts flow out in an oddly coordinated way that results in a cogent post about the value of branding.
For example, economist Paul Krugman wrote an editorial in The New York Times titled A Tale Of Two Parties. Krugman opined on the strengths and weaknesses of the Democratic and Republican establishments. Granted Krugman wrote a political column and you may or may not agree with his opinions, but what is interesting to me is that his op-ed on presidential positioning is really an insightful article on branding.
Krugman writes about Donald Trump's primary success this way: "Donald Trump's taunts about "low-energy" Jeb Bush and "little Marco" Rubio worked because they contained a large element of truth. When Mr. Bush and Mr. Rubio dutifully repeated the usual conservative clichés, you could see that there was no sense of conviction behind their recitations. All it took was (Trump's) huffing and puffing …to blow their houses down."
Politics? Surely. But what Krugman is really writing about is how Trump's attacks defined the brands for both Bush and Rubio. Why? Because as we've said so many times before, the number one rule of both politics AND branding is to define yourself before your competition does. As Krugman noted, both candidates failed to create their own authentic brands and therefore paid the politician's ultimate price.
These types of real world, real time brand stories are all around us. Whether you like or dislike the circumstances, the branding lessons you can find in these situations are always valuable. All it takes is an open and interested eye to see them. More importantly, it takes a bit of discipline and initiative to use what you observe to improve your business and your life.
At the end of the day, that is where the real value of branding lies – its proven ability to improve your business and make you money. Because when there's a clear alignment between your company's authentic truth and your customers' aspirations, and when your brand can truly make your customers feel good about themselves, the value of branding becomes invaluable.
If you're looking for more proven ways to brand yourself and your business, you must be one of the first to get my new book, All About Them. It's available now for pre-order in hardcover, Kindle, or audio on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, 800-CEO-Read, and IndieBound.
Brand Motivation – Do You Know Yours?
We've spent a lot of time talking about brands and how to build them. What I'm finding is that in order to create a good brand for our clients, we find it important to understand their brand motivation. In other words, why do so many people spend so much time, money, and effort building their brands, and how will we know when they're satisfied with what we've created?
Quite simply I believe brand motivation comes down to five basic drivers:
Skill. Is your motivation based on the ability to practice something you do well? Many professionals – from accountants to zoologists, acupuncturists to zoning engineers – build their brands solely on their professional functions.
Will. Perhaps your motivation is based on your strong desire to make something happen. Whether it's an altruistic calling to make the world a better place, a need to design your environment, or a longing to build a better mousetrap, many business and personal brands are guided by the will to accomplish something better or bigger.
Thrill. If your personal brand is built around the adrenaline shot you get from doing something exciting, then this might very well be your motivation. You don't have to don a flying squirrel suit and go jumping off a mountain to find business thrilling, by the way. Often the pure entrepreneurial charge of starting a business and making payroll can be more than enough.
Bill. Perhaps it's almost too obvious to bear repeating but lots of people build businesses and brands simply to make a profit. If revenue is your primary motivation, and how much money you accumulate and keep is the way you keep score, then this is most likely your brand motivation.
Top of the Hill. Maybe your brand motivation is all about being on top, winning the game, proving to yourself and the world that you're the best out there. If this is the case, then Top of the Hill is probably the reason you're in the game in the first place.
Yes, there are as many motivations for doing things as there are people who do them. But if you step back from your marketing efforts for a moment and truly look at the why of what you do you'll probably find some insight into building a better brand.
The ironic and counter intuitive thing is that the best brands are not actually about the person or company that creates them at all. Instead these brands are all about what that company's customers want and how the company's brand makes those customers feel about themselves. As I've said many times before: "A good brand makes people feel good. A great brand makes people feel good about themselves."
If you're looking for more proven ways to brand yourself and your business, you must be one of the first to get my new book, All About Them. It's available now for pre-order in hardcover, Kindle, or audio on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, 800-CEO-Read, and IndieBound.
Unless Bernie Sanders can appeal to the Democratic Super Delegates' sense of fairness and get them to reconsider their commitments based on the outcome of the most recent state primaries and caucuses, our November presidential contest will be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
As I see it, this election is an incredible opportunity for all of us to get a front row seat to history and watch some of the best branding minds in the country put their heads together to build their candidates' images.
At the same time, here's what the Donald needs to say and do:
"May you live in interesting times," indeed.

China To Provide Pakistan With 50 Fighter Jets
Pakistani officials said today that during a trip to Beijing, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had inked a deal in which China would immediately provide Pakistan with 50 JF-17 fighter jets.
The AP reports:
Defense Minister Ahmad Mukhtar said Pakistan was seeking delivery within six months of the JF-17 Thunder jets, a single-engine multirole fighter developed in cooperation between China and Pakistan.
Mukhtar, who was in Beijing with Gilani, gave no details about financing, but put the price per plane at $20 million to $25 million, higher than many defense experts' estimates of $15 million.
China's Foreign Ministry said it had no information about the agreement and calls to the Defense Ministry rang unanswered.
Of course, the news here is the message it sends to the United States: The deal was announced at a time when the relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan is sour. It comes weeks after special forces killed Osama bin Laden in an Abbottabad compound without the permission or knowledge of Pakistan. The New York Times adds:
Mr. Gilani's visit to Beijing served as a pointed reminder of Pakistani suggestions that the government might seek to recalibrate relations with the United States, using China to offset what many here view as an overdependence on Washington.
The United States has provided Pakistan with some $20 billion in aid, mostly military, for its cooperation in fighting terrorism since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Much of that aid has come in the form of reimbursements for Pakistani counterterrorism operations.

I use Outlook Express (V6) with several POP3 email accounts on my aging Windows XP laptop. Yes, I know I must be among the last dozen people using it in the world but I've never had cause to change as it's never caused me a single problem (is it the most reliable software Microsoft has ever produced?)
Anyway, I've had my laptop since 2002 and so have accumulated a ton of emails on it. I realise that my laptop (as reliable as it is) won't last forever but I'd like to keep my old emails 'live' and to hand in the future.
So, is there some (easy) way to transfer my old emails (sent and received in various folders) from Outlook Express to, say, Gmail?

STRI Research event – 19 & 20 September
Turf Management Area, STRI Research 2011
We are inviting greenkeepers, course managers, fine turf managers, groundstaff and sports professionals to attend a research event which will provide a unique insight into the future of sportsturf management.
Following on from the inaugural event launched in 2011, STRI Research 2012 will once again give sportsturf managers an opportunity to receive first-hand detailed information on the latest developments being made in sports turf products, techniques and technology.
The one day event will run on both Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th September at our research facilities in Bingley with demonstrations conducted at seven separate turf management areas. Delegates will be based in small groups to allow interaction and question time with advisory staff.
Dr Christian Spring, STRI at last year's event
Key subject areas which will be covered at this year's event include: disease management & plant health, nutritional management, grass species & cultivars, application tools and methodology as well as technology and machinery.
The event will be supported by a number of organisations working with us at the forefront of R&D projects to help improve the quality and management of sports surfaces. It will be attended by Bayer, Everris (formerly Scotts), R&K Kensett, Rigby Taylor, Rancomes Jacobsen, Sheriff Amenity, Plant Impact and Syngenta.
Ruth Mann, who manages our research trials, commented: "Following on from the hugely successful event last year, we're delighted to once again host a research event which will provide sportsturf managers with invaluable insight and knowledge with industry experts to improve and sustain the quality of their turf.
"We are working with a number of companies who share our passion to stay at the cutting edge of sportsturf management. This year's event will showcase best practice and demonstrate the many innovative products, machinery and techniques that are being trialled by the STRI Research team. "
Delegates pictured at the STRI trials ground
Carolyn Beadsmoore, our head of sales and marketing adds: "By hosting the event on two separate days we're hoping to meet the huge demand for places anticipated after the overwhelming demand and feedback from last year. I'd urge sportsturf professionals to book their place at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment."
The deadline for booking for the STRI research 2012 event is 31st August 2012. Invitations have been sent out to all sports clubs and facilities across the UK and Ireland. Discounted accommodation of 50 per cent for one night at the Ramada Hotel in Bingley is available.
To make a booking or for further information contact the Sales & Marketing Team on 01274 565131 or email email@example.com

Ladies and gentleman, this may be the shape of your universe:
Lisi's inspiration lies in the most elegant and intricate shape known to mathematics, called E8 - a complex, eight-dimensional mathematical pattern with 248 points first found in 1887, but only fully understood by mathematicians this year after workings, that, if written out in tiny print, would cover an area the size of Manhattan.
E8 encapsulates the symmetries of a geometric object that is 57-dimensional and is itself is 248-dimensional. Lisi says "I think our universe is this beautiful shape."
What makes E8 so exciting is that Nature also seems to have embedded it at the heart of many bits of physics. One interpretation of why we have such a quirky list of fundamental particles is because they all result from different facets of the strange symmetries of E8.
Lisi's breakthrough came when he noticed that some of the equations describing E8's structure matched his own. "My brain exploded with the implications and the beauty of the thing," he tells New Scientist. "I thought: 'Holy crap, that's it!'"
UPDATE: To get in the mood, let's listen to Linda Perhacs's psychedelic celebration of geometry, "Parallelograms," from her album by the same name.

My husband and I visited this restaurant on a wet evening in January. Getting there was half of the adventure...... should defo have gone in wellies though as the dark alleyways were mud baths! The restaurant itself was amazing..... we weren't entirely sure what to expect, nor whether or not alcohol would be served. Gentle arabic music was wafting around and a fabulous open fire sat in the corner of the room, embers glowing brightly. All of the tables were drenched in rose petals. Staff were lovely and spoke perfect English. After an aperitif we were given the choice of wines (all included in the price) and then the food arrived. A have to say that although very nice there was far too much of it and the chicken tagine was far too sweet. It is certainly an experience not to be missed though but just wished the food could have been better! Also there was no indication of price at the beginning of the meal - it was rather expensive!

These were extremely delicious warm from the oven and worth making for sure if you eat them right off. But got dry wrapped in foil right after cooled by the next day (typical of most gluten free muffins I think). This mix makes more than 12 large muffins but it makes exactly 12 large muffins if you follow the directions in the instructions for 2 cups of the mix. I used white rice flour a Thai sweet rice flour, gf baking powder, the sea salt, instead of xanathan gum I used guar gum in equal amount to be corn free. Also instead of splenda I used white sugar in a bit higher amount as I understand splenda is sweeter(?) I used canola oil as I did not have extra light olive oil and a little of a different juice as I did not have apple juice on hand. I used vanilla paste for the vanilla to be alcohol free. For the dried fruit/nuts/seeds I chose really sweet dried dates and walnuts in a 2 cup amount. I did use all the rest of the ingredients as listed. I would make these again for sure but when I can find a corn free, cream of tartar free, gluten free baking powder! Also when I know the muffins would be eaten straight up.

A micro-blogging site for the persuasive technology is developed along with cell phone application that helps motivate teenage girls to exercise by exploiting their social desire to stay connected with their peers. We choose teenage girls because they are more responsive to health behavior interventions and they think exercising is the easiest way to improve health. The purpose of this study is to provide real-time information sharing in order to modify the behaviors of girls and ultimately lead to improved health habits. Our study investigated how collecting, sharing and comparing personal fitness information impacts activity level and health awareness.

Director: Van Styles
Company: Hustler Hardline
Cast: Shyla Stylez, Alec Knight, Scott Nails, Hillary Scott, Jenna Haze, Ben English, Mark Wood, Kaiya Lynn, Sascha
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Sometimes a title that isn't all that compelling can hold your interest on the strength of the girls plying their wares for the camera.
That's sort of the story here. There's not much here that hasn't been seen before, but Jenna Haze's lithe limbs and stoner appeal make her scene watchable.
The same can be said for Hillary Scott's workout. Her semen gargling act isn't a new one, and if it doesn't make you nauseous, it's worth seeing again.
Tory Lane, as always, seems like she's got some issues to work out. Her screaming is a little distracting, but fans of seemingly bughouse-crazy chicks will dig her style.
All this and plenty of anal, too.

New to the world of software verification and synthesis. It was suggested to me that the book "Principles of Model Checking" is a good reference for verification, but I am clueless about synthesis. Could someone refer a good book?
Try these slides http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~frankel/HonoraryDay09/Slides/AmirPnueli.pdf or these ones http://www.cs.rice.edu/~vardi/papers/fmco06.ps.gz.
Also try googling "From Verification to Synthesis" and look at the work of Moshe Vardi and Orna Kupferman.
