Not surprisingly, social networking sites are still grappling with how to present ad content in a manner that seems non-intrusive, which is why the channel is considered to be an emerging opportunity. Retailers launching these types of campaigns should be careful to produce ads that have relevance to the target audience and do not come as a surprise. "The right message to the right people at the right time should always be the guiding principle," Wu says.
While comparison shopping networks are not new, their popularity with consumers has skyrocketed over the past year. The marketing opportunity for retailers is to make their product catalog visible on more sites while delivering the same brand experience found on their web site.
"Comparison sites are places where consumers can evaluate products side-by-side, but each site has its own marketing best practices and retailers must figure out how to make use of them to compete for that sale," says Mercent's Best.
The most effective way is to make the comparison shopping site an extension of the web store. Mercent combines direct links to a retailer's web site and warehouse management applications, which enables retailers to deliver real-time inventory and pricing data from the retailer's site to comparison shopping sites. The platform also provides analytics to coordinate promotional campaigns between the web store and the comparison shopping site.
Reducing the costs to link
The latter is important, because retailers do not want to promote offers on comparison sites not available on their web store or other sales channels. This type of continuity is part of creating a consistent marketing message.
"Information, products and promotions may be specific to a comparison site, but they must be as accurate as what can be found on the retailer's site," Best says. "There must be consistency between the web store and other sales channels."
Mercent's platform supports product syndication, merchandising optimization, retail analytics, and transactional order processing. Retailers can connect to 50 online marketing channels, including nearly 40 comparison shopping sites through the Mercent Shopping network. Sites include Amazon.com, MSN Shopping and Yahoo! Shopping.
By linking to the Mercent Shopping network retailers are spared the cost and integration issues of connecting individually to comparison sites. "After a retailer connects individually to the leading sites, it gets cost prohibitive to connect to the rest," says Best. "We can also track the performance of every ad on every channel so retailers can figure the cost versus profit and manage their marketing campaigns more effectively."
Mercent's retail platform is based on the concept of distributive e-commerce, which is about adding value to the shopping experience through whatever channel the retailer touches customers. The platform supports product syndication, merchandising optimization, retail analytics and transactional order processing.
No matter how far retailers broaden their marketing reach, analytics still play a key role in mapping out their strategies. "Analytics rule the world of e-retailing," says DoubleClick's Kahn. "If retailers can't track customer behavior they can't manage the site experience. It is important for retailers to know what changes are taking place in the user experience that impact cart abandonment, and make the necessary fixes to their marketing strategy and site."
Identifying problems requires tracking customer behavior and conversion rates for each marketing campaign to identify which campaigns work and which don't. Other times it requires more digging.
Look deeper
For example, a retailer that suffers a high drop in visitors after they reach the home page may actually have high conversion rates on pages deeper in the site. Setting up paid and organic search campaigns that land shoppers on pages deeper in the site where they are more likely to convert is one solution. "Optimization of search marketing campaigns is a never-ending process," Kahn says.
Analytics are also being applied to remarketing campaigns to help retailers figure out their true ROI and where overlap with other marketing vehicles, such as paid search, occurs. "Because of the view-based tracking many of the advertising networks use to track shoppers from the remarketing campaign, retailers have to have the knowledge to be able to apply credit to the proper source for the conversion," says PM Digital's Sandberg. "Knowing the true source of the conversion helps retailers properly budget for their marketing campaigns. Identifying the overlap in orders from remarketing and paid search campaigns is done by matching order IDs from both programs to information contained in the advertiser's site analytics application."
Mercent takes a similar approach by helping retailers calculate the ROI for specific products marketed through comparison shopping sites. Retailers can track the actual cost of the ad to promote an individual product and compare it against metrics for sales velocity. This capability makes it possible for retailers to manage their campaigns on a more granular level to keep profit margins in line with marketing costs for individual products.
"If the retailer's goal is not to have marketing costs exceed profit margins for every product, it can be done," says Best. "This is information that goes beyond marketing metrics, such as conversions, and provides retailers more control over campaign performance."
As intriguing as the new marketing opportunities are, retailers still need to effectively manage traditional marketing channels, such as e-mail, site search and paid search. E-mail campaigns remain frontline communications tools that retailers can use to support their marketing efforts in other channels.
"E-mail is in the center of the storm when it comes to customer retention because retailers can use it to deliver a steady stream of communications in support of other marketing campaigns," Kahn says. "It remains a great marketing tool that produces solid results."
Site search also remains a proven marketing tool. With consumers increasingly using site search to navigate a retailer's site, retailers must make certain that site search not only delivers the most relevant results possible to the search query, but also reflects available inventory and retailers' marketing and merchandising goals.
Nor can retailers afford to stand pat with paid search campaigns. "Building out keyword lists and optimizing copy for paid search ads should be ongoing," Kahn says. "Retailers may always be looking to tap new marketing channels, but paid search is a core marketing strategy."

The Stewart-Haas Chevrolet driver held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. to claim his second victory in as many races at Phoenix.
The No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet of Kevin Harvick dominated The Profit on CNBC 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday, leading 224 laps of the 312 that made up the race en route to his fifth-career win at Phoenix and his third in the last four races at the track.
The No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet of Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second, and the No. 2 Team Penske Ford of Brad Keselowski was third. "This just solidifies so many things, so many decisions," Harvick said of the win, coming in just his second-points paying start since leaving Richard Childress Racing for Stewart-Haas Racing."
By that time, Logano had led 73 laps. That number stood at the checkered flag and was the closest to Harvick's 224 tally by race's end. Once Harvick took the lead from Logano, he remained up front the rest of the distance, with the exception of laps ran during a couple of cycles of green-flag pit stops.
Harvick, Earnhardt and the Penske duo of Logano and Keselowski maintained positions in the top-four for most of the second-half of the reace. For most of that time, Earnhardt ran second to Harvick, with Logano and Keselowski battling for third.
After the first race saw only one caution -- the lap-35 competition caution -- the yellow flag waved seven more times in the second half. Harvick was the leader for all seven of those restarts, with Earnhardt beside him in second for all but one. With each restart, Harvick pulled out in front, away from the field, and Earnhardt battled Logano for awhile for the second spot before he would get his No. 88 out ahead and take control of the position.
"We got running side-by-side there for second and let Kevin get away," Earnhardt said.
Even though Earnhardt was in second, it was Logano that had Harvick concerned on the restarts.
"The 22 was able to time the restarts there, and I knew he was going to try something down low," Harvick said.
On the final restart of the race that followed a lap-297 caution, Earnhardt was able to pull away from Logano quickly to claim second, while Logano battled Keselowski for third. Keselowski got the spot on the final restart, but was unable to chase down Harvick and Earnhardt.
Logano wound up fourth, and the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet of Jeff Gordon climbed into the top-five for the finish after passing fellow-HMS driver Jimmie Johnson in the No. 48 and the No. 31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet of Ryan Newman in the closing laps.
Johnson finished sixth, and Newman seventh. Rounding out the top-10 were the No. 99 Roush Fenway Racing Ford of Carl Edwards, the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Kyle Busch and the No. 1 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet of Jamie McMurray.

James Tuck is nothing. He is a broke lazy bum who lives up under his mama because he can't make it on his own. He's with a different girl all the time because he depends on females to take care of him because he can't do it himself. He smells. He wears the same clothes every weekend. He thinks he is a hard ass, but he's not about anything really. He is a compulsive liar and will lie about anything to make himself look better. He thinks he's everyones friend, but truth is nobody trust him. He has sticky fingers and everytime he comes around things come up missing and when he gets confronted he blames it on everyone else. He's a punk, I've seen his hands get called out so many times and he doesn't ever do anything about it. He runs his mouth or tries to go get his so called people. He should be ashamed of himself he has kids that he never even goes and sees. He always has an excuse for everyone on why he don't have his kids. He just needs to tell the truth, he don't have his kids because HE IS BROKE, HE IS LAZY, HE HAS NO JOB, NO CAR, AND CAN'T DO SHIT FOR HIMSELF!

The most seriously wounded Air Force veteran to have ever survived combat has written an open letter to President Barack Obama blaming his lack of leadership for the situation in the Middle East.
Senior Airman Brian Kolfage, like the president, grew up in Hawaii. But that, he said, is "where their similarities end."
Kolfage is a triple amputee who served two tours in Iraq. He said he doesn't blame Obama for the war, but he does blame him for the crisis in Iraq that followed the pullout of American troops.

"I'm placing blame on you for destroying what we've worked so hard to build," he wrote. "You're not a leader, you're a community organizer."
Kolfage objected to the president's ignoring of the sacrifices made by America's servicemen and women in Iraq in order to get re-elected in 2012.
"A leader would have stood up regardless of the situation and put America's agenda first and that is ensuring a secure Iraq even after 10 years of war," he wrote. "But, you placed Barack first."

Click here to read the open letter than one American mom sent to Michelle Obama.
Here's the entire text of the letter (H/T Young Conservatives):
Dear President Obama,
My name is Brian Kolfage, I'm a triple amputee and retired Air Force veteran who was severely wounded on September 11, 2004 in Iraq.
I nearly died in a war that most of your colleagues supported overwhelmingly, including the two presidents who came before you. Many citizens may not agree with waging war in Iraq to free the oppressed Iraqi citizens, but it's something that warriors like myself have no control over. I joined to serve my country and to better my life. I've seen things that you could never imagine, and they have made me the person I am today.
Mr. Obama, even though we have extreme opposite views, we have one thing in common, we both attended school in Hawaii. However, that's where the similarities end. You see, as you attended your exclusive, private school, I would ride my bike to Kaimuki High School in one of the roughest areas in Hawaii. Every morning I would ride past Punahou, the exclusive private school you attended and I would notice all of the Bentleys, Maseratis, and fancy foreign cars that all the kids were dropped off in; wow it must have been extremely rough in Hawaii living that life, right? I could only imagine what it was like to have that kind of money. Fortunately for you, not many people are aware of the school that you and the upper class citizens of Hawaii attended.The tuition to attend your exclusive, private school was more than it cost me to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University of Arizona. You talk a big game when it comes to financial inequality, yet I'm quite sure you have no idea what it's truly like to have to sacrifice. You were one of the elitist children in Hawaii.
After High School, we each chose very different paths. You were able to attend America's finest Ivy League schools, while I pursued a career in the military, in hopes of earning a degree. What we have in life as children usually helps to set the tone for how we achieve success later in life. I worked to get where I am today, while it was HANDED TO YOU….Mr. Inequality.
I volunteered to go to Iraq on both of my deployments, and the second time I begged to go even after I wasn't selected. During that second deployment, I was ultimately placed on the team where I would lose both legs and my dominant arm. Even though many Americans were against the war in Iraq, I've never asked myself if it was worth it after losing 3 of my limbs.
I am frequently reminded of the many young Iraqi children who would beg me for water, food, and toys while I was stationed in Iraq. Children, who in all aspects made the poorest of poor American children look rich. You have no idea what it really means to be poor. It's laughable that you, who would have no idea what it means to be poor would so frequently play the inequality card.
While I was in Iraq, our mission was to liberate the Iraqi citizens from a tyrant and that's what we did. Never forget, it was your people who sent us there, like the Clintons, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi & Carl Levin. However, since the day you busted onto the scene you've been talking about ending the war and pulling the troops out, not understanding the blood sweat and tears that so many Americans and Iraqi's invested. And with complete disregard for every life sacrificed, every limb lost, and every broken family, you bailed on our mission to pursue an agenda that was completely centered on your re-election in 2012. If you didn't bail on Iraq you were worried that you may not get re-elected and that's a fact. Just before elections on Oct 11, 2012 you said "Al Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is dead." Look at Iraq now, they are in shambles and the Al Qaeda flag is flying freely. Clearly, you're unfit for duty as a Commander in Chief. You put your own agenda ahead of America's agenda, and now you have single handedly ruined and destroyed nearly everything we gained in Iraq. It clearly means nothing to you, because the only thing that you've personally invested in that country was a promise to bail on them. However, people like me gave limbs, friends have died, and we've watched families destroyed by war's aftermath.
I'm not placing blame on you for the war, I'm placing blame on you for destroying what we've worked so hard to build. You're not a leader, you're a community organizer. A leader would have stood up regardless of the situation and put America's agenda first and that is ensuring a secure Iraq even after 10 years of war. But, you placed Barack first, just as Robert Gates confirmed in his new book. I can't help but think of those poor kids who I gave water and toys to 11 years ago. They're probably 15 or 16 years old now, and I can only imagine what it's like for them to have their nation being torn apart yet again; all because of your poor leadership qualities. Regardless of why we went to Iraq, its water under the bridge. We went there, we waged war, and we not only owed it to our KIA's but we owed it to the citizens of Iraq. We invaded their country and turned it upside down, and you bailed on them. You bailed on our soldiers and you've wasted every death and every limb, it's all for nothing. And to make matters worse you blame others for your failures
You're just another elitist rich thug who's pretended to live the rough life growing up in the inner-city. You're only worried about your own agenda and furthering your party instead of taking care of Americans. Your inability to be a leader at some of the most critical points has caused both of our wars to fail. You've been a joke to most of our veteran community and we have no faith in your ability to lead.
Senior Airman Ret Brian Kolfage USAF
Kolfage has the right to be angry at this president, and he's not the first American veteran to call Obama out for his failure to lead.
The wounded warrior's letter proves that, though he sacrificed three limbs for his nation, he's still fighting for her.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has spoken out against the House of Lords becoming an entirely elected chamber.
In a speech this evening, Rowan Williams said he supported reform but warned that "popular election should not be the sole or necessarily the dominant factor in the composition of the chamber".
He defended the current make up of Britain's second legislative house arguing that there is currently "a significant level of expertise on legal, scientific, sociological and international matters – not to mention significant representation from the whole range of faith communities – which may be relevant to the making of sound and fair legislation."
But he expressed concern that a Lords which was entirely filled with politicians elected on party tickets risked verging towards a "majoritarian tyranny" that could trample over the voices of minorities. "The second chamber stands for the acknowledgement that someone needs to keep an eye on the wider picture that can be held by a single elected chamber alone," he said.
His comments, delivered at Royal Holloway's annual Magna Carta lecture, come at a time of intense debate over what shape Britain's upper legislative house should take.
Church figures are particularly concerned that their historical presence in the Lords will be significantly reduced. Earlier this year the House of Lords reform committee published its draft bill in which it recommended reducing the current crop of 26 so-called Lords Spiritual who sit in the upper house to just 12. It also suggested a quota of faith leaders from other religious congregations should have a guaranteed presence. But the most significant recommendation is to have more than 90 percent of the Lords fully elected.
Faith communities are not the only groups to have expressed concern about such an approach. Scientists and doctors have also warned that few of the experts in their field who currently sit in the Lords would be represented if they had to rely on being elected.
Dr Williams announced his intended retirement earlier this year and the search to find a successor to head up the Church of England is currently underway. His speech last night also included criticism of the media, who many in church circles believe have been unfairly critical of Dr Williams during his tenure.
"In a social context where mass opinion is easily mobilised by way of the media, this can help reinforce panics about this or that minority group when it seems that scapegoats are desirable," he said. "We see this sometimes when, for example, everyone who might conceivable be associated with a potential terrorist threat is assumed to be guilty, or when every asylum seeker is assumed to be fraudulent."

I liked General Electric (NYSE:GE) stock at $6.92 on March 6 (see two previous blogs on GE); I do not like it at all at 12.39 (closing price April 17) , after analyzing their financial results announced on April 17.
It is not their declining earnings that worries me: that was within expectations. The problem lies on their balance sheet. GE shareholders' equity (book value) has declined from $104.7 billion to $101.0 billion. That doesn't sound like much of a decline, but the trend is in a bad direction and it has catapulted one financial ratio (Assets to Tangible Common Equity) into the danger zone (see below).
GE is primarily a financial company. It does make appliances, aircraft engines and wind power turbines, but its lending company, GE Capital has accounted for the bulk of its earnings for several years. GE Capital loans money to businesses and consumers all over the world. The company has borrowed most of the money that it lends out. Although GE's loan portfolio is well diversified, it does contain some potential clunkers, including credit card debt, mortgages in the U.K., and consumer loans in eastern Europe. GE also invests in commercial real estate and holds mortgages on commercial properties in this country, both areas of financial stress. As an AA-rated company (they were rated AAA until about a month ago), they borrow at a low rate and lend at a higher rate to less creditworthy borrowers. This business model works well as long as investors and lenders have confidence in General Electric.
But, worries about GE and other finance companies have arisen as debtors around the world are finding it harder to make their loan payments. Investors and lenders are wise to keep a close eye on GE's balance sheet, for that is where we can see financial resources available to keep the company going in case many of its loans turn bad.
At first glance, book value of $101 billion seems sufficient to back up GE Capital's loan portfolio of $348 billion.....except for one fact: $95.4 billion of GE's equity consists of intangible assets like good will and deferred tax credits. Goodwill is an accounting entry that represents how much GE paid above book value when it acquired other companies. Deferred tax credits are useful in saving taxes on future income, but are not good for any other purpose. Analysts subtract goodwill, deferred tax credits and other fluff from book value to arrive at a more realistic figure that is called tangible common equity (TCE). To see how much TCE underlies GE's common shares we take current book value of $101 billion and subtract the $3 billion in preferred stock that Warren Buffett pumped into the company last fall. That leaves $98 billion. Then we subtract the $95.4 billion intangibles (primarily goodwill, but also deferred tax credits, etc.) and arrive at a grand total tangible common equity value of $2.6 billion. That isn't very much - less than 1% of the $348 billion it has loaned out to its customers.
The company is not in imminent danger of insolvency. First, they hold $89 billion in cash (don't get too excited: that's all borrowed money). Second, the federal government is backing up this company. The FDIC has agreed to guarantee up to $139 billion in future borrowings, which GE will have to undertake (no pun intended) as their existing debt matures and becomes due to be paid off. Also, the Fed's commercial credit facility (thank you, Ben Bernanke) has provided short term financing to GE and will continue to be available should the need arise. So, I don't foresee any liquidity problems for GE; if its loan portfolio deteriorates, it will be able to borrow money to pay its own creditors and to fund operations.
But, here is the danger for common shareholders. Tangible common equity is gaining notice as an important metric among analysts. As pointed out in a blog by Rolfe Winkler, CFA, the Fed is starting to pay attention to the TCE of banks (looking at the ratio of loans to TCE) as an indicator that a bank may be in danger of failing. The Fed is expected to announce the results of the banks' financial stress tests soon. Winkler notes that TCE is likely to be discussed as part of the stress test results. Unfortunately, GE's ratio of loans to tangible common equity is several times worse than that of the banks, even the most shaky banks. There is a risk that GE will make headlines in the newspapers regarding this comparison and that will drive the stock price lower.
Now a new and more ominous headline risk has entered the picture. "Grant's Interest Rate Observer", in its April 17 issue (I am a subscriber), quotes a portfolio manager, Steve Eisman, of FrontPoint Financial Services) who cites TCE as a measure of corporate financial health. Eisman points out that General Electric's ratio of assets to TCE is so bad that GE's financial rating should not be AA, as it is currently, that it should be rated as junk. Eisman wrote this without the benefit of having seen Friday's earnings announcement by General Electric.
A quick calculation of figures on GE's hot-off-the-press balance sheet shows that GE's tangible common equity has been roughly cut in half, which means that the ratio of assets (loans, primarily), to TCE has roughly doubled. "Grant's" is a highly respected publication. Its "outing" of GE's very high assets to TCE ratio is likely to make the rounds of analysts and financial journalists. Others can make the same calculation as I did that Friday's announcement shows GE's TCE deteriorated further and that only a sliver of tangible common equity is supporting a large portfolio of loans. Such publicity will likely drive down the stock price in the near term and could easily lead to GE selling more shares of common stock in order to bolster its common equity and regain the confidence of the market. If that occurs, the dilution of shareholders' ownership by the issuance of new shares will drive the share price lower, still.
The bottom line: I liked GE at the bargain price of $6.92 on March 6, I do not like it now at $12.29, given the recent deterioration in tangible common equity on its balance sheet. I do think that the company will survive, thanks to support from the federal government, and the share price five years from now will be higher than what it is today, perhaps substantially so. But the recent emphasis on tangible common equity by the Fed and financial analysts is likely to spread to additional analysts and business journalists and they are likely to make the public aware that there is a gaping hole in GE's balance sheet. GE shares are not suitable for risk-averse investors at least until General Electric raises its tangible common equity and the current financial panic comes to an end.
Disclosure: None of my clients' accounts hold GE shares. I hold shares of GE in a family account currently and plan to sell them this Monday morning.

Carp Fishing
Barston Lakes has been open as a commercial fishery since 2003 and has earned a reputation of holding good stocks of Carp since its initial stocking back in 2002. These fish have been supplemented with more than 30,000 small Common and Mirror Carp , and 750 Common and Mirror Carp (all doubles) were introduced from British Waterways' Naseby Reservoir. These fish are now showing regularly and are stacking on the weight because Barston Lake is such a large water with plenty of natural food. In addition to two of our well known fish, the scar which has a scar down its side, possibly from a previous Heron attack, and Yellow Tail both of which are in their mid 20's, in early 2014 two fish were brought in from a Manor House pool in Kent, at the time of introduction they weighed 30lb and 37lb and have both been caught several times, the biggest of the two first being taken by George Johnson from Coventry. The fish was scanned and weighed in at 35lb 6oz in May 2014.
Barston holds the record for a British Carp Angling Championship (BCAC) match venue, producing 1296lb of fish in a 48 hour match. As a result, Barston is attracting a regular and growing following amongst specialist carp anglers from throughout the Midlands, who can bivvy up near their pegs and fish for virtually as long as they wish. Best results for the carp are to fish light in the day for some runs, the method is particularly good, with mini boilie, and heavy at night, fishing two or three rods using boilies and a pva bag or stringer.
There is a stone track down the left side of the lake, and this bank is the most popular, as you don't have to walk! but if you are prepared to walk along the right hand bank there are plenty of areas where you can bivvy up which are much quieter but where the fishing is equally good. If you are planning to stay overnight or for a longer period, it may well pay you to try this bank, and it can be nice and quite if there are no matches on! Make sure that you check the sign in the shop for the forthcoming matches as club matches are held on this bank at the weekends.
Night fishing is allowed but all anglers must be members. Membership is available to anyone subject to the terms indicated on the form and is just £12 a year.
Please note there are a few dates where the whole lake is booked, these dates are on the matches page for your convenience.

Akoya is a beautiful oceanfront property (see website by clicking here) that has a substantial amount to offer those who are looking for a new place to call home. Whether you are buying property that you want to use as an investment, or you are buying a place to retire, a vacation home, or somewhere you want to live full time, this building could have what you need. It is located right on Miami Beach, and it has a number of benefits. Let's look at some of the reasons to call this building home.
What Does Akoya Offer?
One of the first things you will want to do is think about the location. The building is in a fantastic area. Residents are never more than a few steps from the sand and the surf. They are also close to all of the wonderful things that Miami Beach has to offer including shopping and dining. You can drive in to the city, to Fort Lauderdale, and anywhere else you might need to go with little trouble. Then you can come home to the beautiful tower where you can enjoy some great views from any of the residences. The views are even more impressive thanks to the floor to ceiling glass.
You will enjoy European styled kitchens that have gorgeous cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms are just as incredible. The master bath features a marble bath and a whirlpool tub, which is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a long day.
Some of the other features of the units include oversized wraparound balconies with sliding glass doors. You can spend your time out on the balcony enjoying the day, entertaining, or just relaxing with a drink in the evening. The units are nice and large, and they are a nice option for young couples, retirees, or anyone else who is looking for a great place to call home.
The Building Amenities
In addition to the amenities that you will find within the units themselves, there are also plenty of reasons to love the building itself. If you want to keep in shape, as so many of the residents do, you can spend time working out at the state of the art fitness center. There is also a putting green, as well as tennis courts and racquetball courts. You can also go swimming. With all of these ways to stay active and fit right in Akoya, you will never get bored, and you could get into the best shape of your life.
Another one of the great features of the building is that it is pet friendly. This is not the case with all of the buildings in the Miami area, so if you have a pet that's just like family, you will want to make sure your new home will accept them. With all of the other benefits that Akoya can offer, it makes sense to consider it when you are buying your next property.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 12, 2011, New Braunfels, Texas Page 4 —» Herald Zettung — Thursday, May 12, 2011 FORUM Our Opinion Don't let 'disaster fatigue' keep you from helping out We care. We want to help. There wasn't a heart in this nation that didn't break at the sight of an elderly Japanese man holding back tears as he looks at the nibble of his home. There were few who didn't search for a way to help when they saw photos of the 20-foot wall of flames in West Texas that killed livestock and destroyed homes. Images have burnt themselves into the hearts and minds of Americans for years — Katrina, the Glllf, Haiti, floods in Australia and New Zealand and now along the Mississippi. And the incomprehensible photos of Southern towns, every board of every home and business razed by tornadoes. Nothing left. We want to help. Hut at some point, |H*ople walk away from the TV. They put down the newspaper. Or they distract themselves with stories about the royal wedding or "Dancing with the Stars." ()ne person can only give so much. According to an Associated lYess story on May 7 South suffers from 'disaster fatigue ', the outpouring of support lasted the three or four days the news cycle kept the spotlight on the area. Since then, it has waned. I he search for bodies is still going on in parts of the tornado-ravaged .South, but the country's worst natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina is already fading from the public consciousness," according to the AP article. That means donations and out-of-state volunteers will likely drop off as the region tries to recover after tornadoes killed at least 329 people and destroyed communities across seven states." It depends on the news cycle, but the reality is, you generally only have three or four days" to keep the attention of the broader public, said Mickey Caison, who oversees disaster relief efforts for the Southern Baptist Convention's North American Mission Board. Typically, when the national media moves on, that window of opportunity closes." Sharon McAllistor, Chief Administrator and Branch Manager of the American Bed Cross -(-omaJ County, said at one point there were calls for 450 Bed Cross volunteers from this area to go 11 different locations. "There were storms up north, flooding, tornadoes, wildfires, hailstorms," she saici. "People are inundated; there's a little overload. They don't know what to do next or who to give to." Being overwhelmed by the number of crises in so many different parts of the world is no excuse to turn your back on that suffering. McAllistor said — while donors are welcome to specify the direction lor their donation by writing "Japan tsunami" or "Alabama tornados" or "West Texas wildfires" in the memo line — the best approach is to donate to the overall efforts of the organization. In the case ol the Bed Cross, donations to the Disaster Belief Fund will roll over from one disaster to the next as needed. It you say it has to go to Japan or Alabama, that's where it goes and it stays there." I he* Beil Cross in Comal County is not taking clothes — only monetary donations. People in disaster areas are given loaded "credit cards" to by clothes and other needs. To donate to the Bed Cross Disaster Belief Fund, visit their office at 345 Landa St., Suite 160 (in the former Lifechek building). Call (830) 608-9876 or donate online at saredcross.org. Hie Salvation Army-New Braunfels is also accepting donations for disaster relief. They are only taking monetary donations, since the price of gas is so high that it would cost more to ship clothes and other personal items than to buy them new on location. According to www.salvationarmyusa.org, die Salvation Army is often among the first on the scene when disaster strikes. Officers are trained to meet all kinds of emergencies by providing food, shelter, clothing and spiritual comfort. Donations may be made online at wwvv.salva-donarmyusa.org — specify "Disaster Belief" or "Disaster Belief for West Texas wildfire victims* in the box marked "Specific Use." Cash donations and donations by check may be made at the Salvation Army office in New Braunfels at 186 S. Castell. For more information, call (830) 608-9129.

In 1958, the United States and Canada signed an agreement to create the North American Air I)eferise Command. Liberals need a history lesson WASHINGTON — Outside the venue where Hep. Paul Byan recently spoke in Madison, Wis., a university town never lacking protesters, one product of America's education system shouted that Byan's budget proposal would return America to the had old days of the "18th-century robber barons." The young man, full of zeal and destitute of information, does not know that those capitalists of whom he disapproves — the ones who built the railroads and other sinews of the nation's industrial might — operated in the second half of the 19th century, not in 18th-century agrarian America. Last month, Barack Obama was asked by an interviewer from Texas why he is so unpopular there. Obama replied: "Texas has always been a pretty Bepublican state, for, you know, historic reasons." Well, yes, "always" — if you believe, as many baby boomers seem to, that the* world began when they became more or less sentient. But, for the record: Texas, one of the 11 states of the Confederacy, was, for historic reasons, GEORGEWILL George Will's e-mail address is [email protected] old — in the Depression year of 1934, with the New Deal erupting — that peacetime federal spending topped 10 percent of GDP, and it did not reach 12 percent until the war preparations of 1941. Byan s plan would alter Medicare. But Medicare has existed in its current configuration for only 46 of the nation's 235 years. Byan s plan would involve some seniors paying more of the costs of routine health care. But what is anomalous, viewed in the context of "our history," is today's "12 cents" problem. That is the portion of every health dollar paid by the person receiving the care. Fifty years ago, when John Kennedy became president and the nation was 185 years old, the figure was 47 cents. Byan's plan would expand states' discretion in the administration of Medicaid by making it a block grant program. Would it make America, in Obama's words, "fundamentally different than what we've known throughout our history" to take this small step away from the practice of part of'Oiesolidly Democratic ^uth for almost a ^ = to 5 ' ¿V1 ?.r' peeply Protestant the federal government?

Smith, a Catholic New Yorker, for president in 1928, but it did not vote for a Republican presidential candidate again until Dwight Eisenhower carried the state in 1952 and 1956. It did not do so again until Richard Nixon in 1972. Four years later, it embraced Jimmy Carter. Other than during Reconstruction, Texas did not elect a Republican senator until 1961 (John Tower) and did not elect a second one (Phil Gramm) until 1984, and there were not as many as three Texas Republicans in the U.S. House until 1968. Republicans were not a majority oi the state's congressional delegation until 2005 The hysteria and hyperbole about Ryan's plan arise, in part, from a poverty of today's liberal imagination, an inability to think beyond the straight-line continuation of programs from the second and third quarters of the last century. It is odd that "progressives," as liberals now wish to be called, have such a constricted notion of the possibilities of progress. Liberals think Medicare and Social Security as they exist are "fundamental" to the nation's identity. But liberals think the Constitution — which the Framers meant to be fundamental, meaning constituting, law—should be construed as a "living" document, continually evolving to take differ- rj . n , . 11 *6 ^"-uinciu, luuuiiuauy evolving to taice ainer- m , ! m ! yajn S 'i ^ Pr°P°sa1' 9ba' ent meanings under whatever liberals consider ma said it would lead to a fundamentally differ- new social imperatives. ------.v.v«.nviiiuii y VU11L1 ent America than the one we've known certainly in my lifetime.

Letters to the Editor Pictures instead of words a better way to communicate about wanted terrorists For years, our government has offered $25 million for information leading to the capture of bin liiden without success. For the most part, these people are illiterate and do not know what a million of anything is. Since we are still looking for other top terrorists, I suggest showing a picture of 100 goats and a few donkeys along with terrorist pictures. This may bring better results. Gerald White New Braunfels First Family bigger freeloaders than British monarchy I have to agree with letter writer Pamela Alston — most Brits do not view the monarchy as a bunch of freeloaders. She mentioned the average British taxpayer contributes less than $3.50 US annually to support the monarchy. Perhaps, Mr. Fortune should look more closely as to the expenditures our First Family spends. lalk about freeloaders ... The Spain vacation ior Michelle, daughters, staff, and guests in a five-star luxury hotel and villa costs $2,500 a night. In addition, the use of Air Force II to fly everyone to Spain, plus 70 Secret Service agents to insure the safety of everyone, costs $11,351 per hour to operate — 47,500 gallons of jet fuel was used according the Government Accounting Office. The carbon emissions were 1,031 tons of C02. The trip to India and to Martha's Vineyard was estimated to have cost $2 billion dollars. That included a second smaller jet that took their dog, "Bo," to Martha's Vineyard to be with them during their 11 -day vacation. During the "First Family's" two-week Hawaii vacation, they stayed in a 7,000 square foot home. Whether or not the American taxpayers paid for the rent, I'm not sure, but the cost to get to Hawaii via Air Force I or Air Force II, we certainly paid for. Tim Souder New Braunfels Don't let childrens' future be casualty of budget battles This year, I want to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week by thanking the teachers of our community for all of their hard work educating our children. Attacks on teachers and their unions are attacks on public education. We can't let our kids' future be a casualty of the budget battles. I'm outraged by legislators who are "reforming" education by going after teachers' unions, instead of working with the teachers who want real change and progress in our schools. Educators can do what they do best — educate our children — when their collective bargaining rights are secure. Pam Waugh-Wagoner New Braunfels ■ Rick Perry State Capitol, Room 2S.1 P.O.

This Event Is The Pitt's
You can't escape it. On walks, at the dog park, in the pet store, everybody wants to know: "What kind of dog is that?" and the answer is never just "The kind that loves me." Tell somebody you've got a retriever or pug mix and your pup is showered with pats on the head and ear rubs. Tell 'em you have a pit bull, though, and the conversation comes screeching to a halt. Owners of pit bulls will tell you their dog is just as sweet, loyal and goofy as any other breed. Rock-A-Bully 2 aims to change minds about the pit bull: Sunday's benefit at Sue Ellen's (3014 Throckmorton St.) runs from 1 until 7 p.m., and features Shorty Rossi, star of Animal Planet's Pit Boss, and his pit ambassador Hercules as part of their efforts to raise awareness about the breed. Get a new perspective on these dogs from rescue groups including Dog Star Pit Bull Rescue, Animal Rescue of Texas and DFW Rescue Me, all of whom benefit from the event. Try your luck at a raffle that could land you premium Dallas Cowboys tickets, check out the vendors and their pet-friendly wares, and meet sweet pit bull adoption candidates that could become your forever friend. Admission is a suggested donation of $10; visit the event's Facebook page for more information.

Repairing the Damage on Alloy Wheels and Getting the Best Deals
Alloy wheels can make all the difference in a car or a motorcycle. They have a beautiful appearance and promote excellent handling and performance as well. As a result, enthusiasts have always been interested in using alloy wheels on their car.
They replace the basic hubcaps and steel wheels while setting a vehicle apart on the road, and making your ride smoother. To promote this trend and capitalize on it, manufacturers have started bringing out many different kinds of alloy wheels with various shapes, sizes, patterns of Black rims and styles.
People have developed a taste for larger and flashier wheels with all the bling that they can manage. These wheels can be equipped on everyday vehicles like your standard sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs and much more. Even motorcycles and vans can be fitted with such alloy wheels. They look quite impressive but like anything great, it has a downside as well.
Choosing wheels according to your tastes
The wheels which come from European manufacturers are softer and as a result, they are highly vulnerable to damage. When damaged, they get bent or curved besides other potential issues as well. In those cases, they could be replaced completely.
It will cost you a lot of money if you wish to replace them through local dealerships and the costs to be incurred, depend on the extent of damages as well. If you try to replace factory wheels, it will cost you from several hundred dollars to several thousand. The smart people who don't wish to engage in complete Mag wheels replacement will ask for repairs.
How to choose the best repair solutions?
That is why we have wheel rim repair systems in order. However, when getting your wheel repaired, make sure that it is done by a well-versed technician. It should be done in a way that ensures the safety of the passengers.
Therefore, always going for the cheap deal is not the correct thing to do. Instead, you should focus more on the safety of your vehicle. You can always go for alloy wheel repair since they offer excellent choices of cosmetic and economy restoration. If your Wheels have been damaged severely, it is better to shell out some more bucks and get them replaced. Choosing the best repair solutions is necessary since wheel can be made unsafe if consistent pressure is not applied in the perfect way with a proper measure of heat.
When should you consider replacing your wheels?
Even though replacement costs a lot, it ensures that you get 100% new and perfect wheels, as long as you purchase it from a reputed dealership. You should always choose a dealership and repair shop that has a great wheel networking capacity and one of the largest wheel repairing facilities.
There should be experts who can make sure that your damaged King wheels are repaired as soon as possible. Wheel repair systems have been saturated in many areas with companies falsely claiming that they have the ability to fix any wheel without any problems.
However, the underlying truth is that none of them are expert enough and at the end of the day, relying on a torch and a sledgehammer is all they do. That is never the proper way to get any wheels fixed. When choosing to repair your alloy wheels, get them done from the best repair shops. Always keep in mind that you should never jeopardize the life of your family members with dirt-cheap deals.
Going through the aftermarket dealerships
Meanwhile, the aftermarket wholesale destinations have gained a lot of momentum over the years and right now, it is one of the greatest success stories of the automotive industry. Car enthusiasts are always grouping to get the best deals on wheel repair. They not only want prettier and lighter alternatives but the wheels should be sturdy as well.
The Tuff wheels provide the best handing and driving experience. If you have a car that has good performance and excellent-looking wheels, you will turn quite a few heads on the road. The days are gone when customized vehicles were only sold at a premium price only to those people who could afford them.
How does globalization help?
With the help of globalization, manufacturers design more efficient wheels that can be loved by any average race-enthusiast. As a result, the combination of sportiness, luxury and wealth can be enjoyed by any person having a car. People realized the need for custom wheels when consumers finally realized that investing in the automobile industry was in fact, a good undertaking.
As a result, it was meaningful to look after their investment as they would with any other priceless item. Finally, the concept of custom-wheels came into existence, where factory wheels could be replaced or modified according to the owner's wishes. Earlier, it was pretty expensive to produce these wheels, and they are never offered as a standard package on any car.
Extra accessories for your car
The people started buying them as extra accessories to promote the stylish outlook of their cars through Rays wheels. Now, racing car fans later found out that if they purchase these wheels from an aftermarket dealer who supplies wholesale wheels, the cost is greatly reduced in comparison to what is offered by car agents.
The cost savings were further promoted when because the value is effectively increased due to the great variety of custom choices that are offered. People need such variations because customers want wheels that are stronger and better-looking.
The cost-saving nature of alloy wheels
They should be luxurious and at the same time, they should have the capability to withstand rough terrains accompanied with wear-and-tear. Car-owners, who were more appearance-oriented, preferred larger and properly-designed wheels which can stand out in the crowd.
In the modern-day lifestyle, such customized wheels have become a great part of the sports and hip-hop culture. Based on their looks and functionalities, nowadays wheels can be classified into many different categories.

Crispy Crablets are seasoned small crabs that were dredged in cornstarch and deep-fried until crispy. These types of crabs are usually found in riverbanks while some are cultured in fish ponds. In some cases, these small crabs can be caught in rice fields.
This dish has become a popular appetizer among Filipinos. This is often eaten with a spicy vinegar dip; it goes well with beer or any alcoholic beverage.

Stanford art historian explores the shocking yet affirmative power of gay imageryHistorians in the News
tags: LGBT
News coverage of recent milestones in gay rights routinely includes images of happy same-sex couples kissing in celebration.
But according to Stanford art historian Richard Meyer, visuals of same-sex kisses and other gay images do much more than illustrate happy moments.
In making formerly private content public, such scenes "help to create queer culture by generating alternative images of – and possibilities for – love and intimacy," says Meyer.
Whether in art or in mass media, such images convey universal emotion, while also drawing power from their ability to shock.
As such, Meyer argues that pictures of same-sex kissing and other homoerotic imagery demonstrate in a uniquely clear manner the interdependence of all art within its social context.
Meyer, a scholar of 20th-century American art history and the Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History at Stanford, co-authored Art and Queer Culture, the most comprehensive survey of queer art in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Co-authored with retired University of California, Irvine, artist and critic Catherine Lord, the book traces a dialogue between visual images and queer culture, including but not limited to high art, and homosexual culture from 1885 to the present. The authors survey 300 visual artists from all over the world, in what they see as an enduring resource for art teachers, students and enthusiasts.
By "queer," Meyer says he means "sexual and cultural practices that defy the norm, and that build community around an idea of difference rather than assimilation."
During the course of the project, Meyer, whose research had previously centered on 20th-century America, learned that varying degrees of homophobia and persecution around the world meant that artists expressed their queerness in varying degrees of radicalism. For example, Polish photographer Karolina Bregula (b. 1979) is represented by her 2003 image of two women holding hands – a radical statement in her place and time. "We'd maybe find something visually not galvanizing at first," Meyer says. "But then the context opened our eyes." ...

Gr 2-3
This slight story makes some heavy-handed points about overcoming racism and adversity. It begins with two young patients of different races who have been forced to share a hospital room. Skippy has cancer and Connor has diabetes, and they both want another roommate. They are awakened from naps by Batboy Ray, who whisks them back in time to meet Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. The athletes spout truisms about getting along with others, being a team player, and never giving up. The boys also encounter a teenaged Roberto Clemente; Negron's real-life mentor, George Steinbrenner; and Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang. Soon the boys are the best of friends. This unoriginal tale clumsily uses two of baseball's greatest heroes to hammer home its obvious points; the weak story sinks under the weight of its overbearing message.-Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA

Select All Forms In VBA
Views: 13
I want to run code to change the format of all open forms dynamically
Sponsored Links:
Thank you for taking the time to report an issue.
What's wrong... Please write below.
Similar posts...
VBA for opening different forms
Seeing as I have multiple forms, I have created a Combo box containing the form names for the user to select, and would like to create a VBA code for a button placed at the bottom so If Incident report, then open "incident report" If Hazard, then open hazard" ect.
I am only new to VBA and am a little unsure on how to do this, and every thing I try doesn't seem to work.
on close event select listbox x item data. how?
on click event
select [forms]![frmClientSalePaymentScreen]![lstToPay]![ItemData]
I dont really have a clue about vba but im trying
What causes Inconsistent Behavior of VBA Global Variable?
1) Option Compare Database
2) Option Explicit
3) Public strLOC As String
4) Public strCode As String
5) Public strJCodeKey As String
Load them with this code:
1) Private Sub RadfordMatch_Click()
2) strCode = [Forms]![View RHI Job Pricing Master]![Job Code]
3) strLOC = [Forms]![View RHI Job Pricing Master]![LOC]
4) MsgBox "You will now be selecting matches for this position: " & strCode & " - " & strLOC, vbOKCancel
5) DoCmd.OpenForm "select Radford Jobs", acNormal, , , acFormEdit, acWindowNormal
6) End Sub
And then when a "select" flag is toggled on the following form the fields get copied to the form:
1) Sub Select_Flag_Click()
2) Dim strFlag
3) strFlag = [Forms]![select Radford Jobs]![Select]
4) If strFlag = -1 Then
5) [Forms]![select Radford Jobs]![RHI Job] = [Form_View RHI Job Pricing Master].strCode
6) [Forms]![select Radford Jobs]![LOC] = [Form_View RHI Job Pricing Master].strLOC
7) Else
8) [Forms]![select Radford Jobs]![RHI Job] = ""
9) [Forms]![select Radford Jobs]![LOC] = ""
10) End If
11) End Sub
Renaming a Form Stopped my VBA from Executing
However, upon adding numbers to the form names (and trying to update the VBA respectively), the VBA no longer executes.
Run-time error '2450'
Microsoft Office Access can't find the form '13-frm_Transportation' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code.
I've been running into this type of problem with of my forms -- VBA code which previously worked, but referred to other forms in some manner (include opening said forms), no longerwork when numbers are added into the form names!
I've got to ask: does Access not like people to put numbers in their forms? What is the correct syntax for referencing to forms in this manner?
SELECT in VBA Access (small db)
I have trouble finding how to use SELECT statements within VBA in a simple context as mine surley is. The fact is, the table contains the names of every checkbox in a form, I want VBA to get those names from the table, see if they = TRUE, and then APPEND to a new table (which, thankfully docmd.runSQL works for). It just seems much cleaner than having to pour in sixty control names into the VBA code.
I've heard about using querydefs but they seem way outside the scope of my application, which is small
VBA coding for forms and command buttons
I am also looking for some clear and concise resources that I can look at for reference.
I have an initial start up page where someone in any division can go and select their division from a combo box. What I want them then to be able to do is click one of the forms (New Entry,Edit Entry,.).
For the form New entry I am looking to open the form with the division name to filled into a text box. I also would like to have that box that box also correspond to a field in a the table for a new entry.
Hide x Forms
Got a lil problem. I want to lock down my dB after inactivity. working good. But if one clicks on the dB they can see what is on the screen (but not do anything as the prompt is modal!). Coolie. But, they can still see. So I want to hide the forms. Great, so hide any form. Problem is, how would VBA know which forms were open. It farts (breaks) if any one form is not loaded and viola, lockout does not occur. Ooops.
So, I tried a multitude of conditionals but I can not seem to get it to consider what is open and what is not before invoking actions on the forms which renders a error if said form is not open.
How can I get VBA to understand what forms are open, so it may hide them?
Matt L - new father, drunk, and OCD
Where does VBA comes in
So starting off with the business concept, making tables, queries, relationships, entry forms, overview forms, reports and the like, I always struggled where and when to use VBA. I seldom use any macro's.
VBA to select record in listbox based on textbox value
Can anyone tell me how to select a record based on its value.
Eg I have txtbox1 which contains =Format(Now(),WW) to give me the week number.
I want to look that week number up in LstBox1 and select it using VBA.
ms access and maybe its VBA
Would there be any way I can see how the forms were designed?
As of right now I am just looking at the end result of the form and trying to see how it all came together from the tables and queries.

A Bigger Vocabulary = A Brighter Future
Words. They're the foundation of nearly everything of value in our world. They have the power to create and the power to destroy. The power to inspire and to terrify. The power to enlighten and also to obscure. And, more specifically for you, they have the power to attract wealth and success and guarantee your brighter future. This is not hyperbole - it is based on rock-solid research.
Studies show that those people with large vocabularies are smarter, wealthier, and happier than the average person - and substantially so. And here's the best news of all: a large vocabulary is not tied to your social status, your genes, or even your education level. It is a skill that can be learned - and it takes only 30 days.
In this cutting-edge program, 30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary, personal development expert and English enthusiast Dan Strutzel will instruct, enlighten, and inspire you with a concentrated 30-day program that will teach you over 500 words. But, more than teaching you these words, the uniquely designed morning and evening review sessions will ensure that these words become a habit-knit part of your life - and with minimal effort on your part.
Best of all, research shows that learning new words has an exponential effect on the size of your vocabulary - since learning one word naturally produces an association between two to three more words. In short, after listening to and applying the system in this 30-day program, you will not only have a bigger vocabulary - you will have a brighter future!
Here's just a sampling of what you'll learn:

"I expected different benefits from the book"
personally, I find the first part the most interesting, mainly the part describing benefits and advantageous of vast vocabulary and part comparing job positions with regard to a vocabulary width of people exercising the job. However, the rest of the book did not give me much new knowledge or language learning know-how with regard to the books price.
With focus on the price, I do not recommend the book to people who are not at vocabulary level C2 at minimum.
"Great for college students!"
This was not only one of the more interesting vocabulary programs to listen to, but it contains words that are very relevant to today (many of the other vocal programs I listened to are not). As a college student, I feel much smarter going back to campus this Fall!
"Interesting and Informative"
I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was well organized, totally up to date, and a fun way to expand your vocabulary, increase your knowledge and brighten your future.
"Not bad but not what I expected"
If you are looking to expand your vocabulary, I think you might like this book but you might find that you already know most of these words. These are mostly words that you already know but they give a very clear definition of the word in case you weren't 100% sure of the meaning. I am a person who did not finish college but I knew most of theses words already. This is probably a great book for kids.
The accompanying reference material is not working as my expectation.
I have thought the material should be dynamicly scrolled with the audio.
