Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
I'm pretty damn excited about "Oculus."
What's "Oculus?" you ask? Well, in case you haven't been keeping up with your Creepy Corner pop culture, "Oculus" is supposed to be THE next big horror movie that follows in the dark and shadowed footsteps of "The Conjuring."
I've avoided learning too much about the movie (it's no fun going into a horror movie knowing all the details), but from what I understand it's about a haunted/cursed/demonic mirror of sorts, and the brother and sister who are doomed to contend with it. You had me at haunted/cursed/demonic mirror.
"The Conjuring" whetted my appetite for a tight, atmospheric horror movie that wasn't "found footage" or torture porn and actually told a story. If "Oculus" lives up to its hype, we Creepy Corneristas are in for a treat.
Apparently April of 2014 is a good month for chills. "The Quiet Ones," set to come out at the end of the month, is another ghost movie about an experiment with the paranormal gone awry. Basically it's about a professor and a group of students who attempt to create a poltergeist using human energy, a young girl pushed "to the edge of sanity," and good ol' fashioned pseudo science. They conjure up something bad, and evil ensues. What intrigues me even more than the actual movie is the story behind it.
Apparently, "The Quiet Ones" is based on a true story. Have you heard of the "The Philip Experiment"?
In the 1970s, some Canadian parapsychologists attempted to prove that ghosts were only the creation of the human mind, and under the right circumstances, a ghost could be made.
Of course any self respecting ghost needs a backstory, so the parapsychologists, headed by Dr. Alan Robert George Owen, founder of the Toronto Society for Physical Research, fabricated one. They called their "ghost" Philip Aylesford from the 17th century. They gave the fictional Philip a wife, a lover, a love triangle and a tragic death at the battle of Diddington.
They even drew a picture of Philip.
They did all this so that everyone involved could completely buy into the reality of Philip, and they would have a clear entity to bring forth. Supposedly it worked. Well, maybe.
The participants claimed that Philip made contact via rapping on a table and levitating it. You can watch the footage here, but I can't help but think that it looks suspect. Sure it appears that the table raises, but the controls for this "experiment" seem questionable at best. Upon further reading, there is a lot of controversy surrounding "The Philip Experiment" -- some say it is real, others call BS. I tend to land on the side of BS, but either way it's a pretty neat jumping off point for a horror movie, no?
"The Philip Experiment" got me thinking about the true stories behind some of my favorite horror movies. In my opinion, if there's a seed of truth behind a movie, it makes it all the scarier.
So here are a few of my favorites. Yes, we all know "The Exorcist," "The Amityville Horror," "Zodiac" and "The Shining." But here are a few that might be slightly less well known, where the true story might actually be creepier than the movie.
Written by Don Mancini, the movie "Child's Play" resolves around a young boy's doll, Chucky, that is possessed by the spirit of a serial killer. Duh, you know this.
But the inspiration for "Child's Play" was none other than -- your favorite and mine -- Robert the Doll of Key West, Florida!
I've mentioned Robert before, and many of you have brought him up in the comments. But I can't get enough of him, he's one of my favorites.
I even went to visit him:
Robert the Doll was given to young Robert Eugene Otto by a Haitian servant that, depending on which source you check out, was wrongly fired from the Otto household. Apparently the doll (made using some of Eugene's real hair), was cursed.
Young Master Otto, who decided to go by Eugene and give his name, Robert, to the doll, became obsessed with the play thing. And things got creepy quick. Robert's laughter could be heard all throughout the house, and sometimes two separate, unique voices could be heard emanating from Eugene's room -- one was Eugene's, one was Robert's.
Even after Eugene grew up, and Robert got his own room in the attic of his family's house, people reported seeing the silhouette of the doll walking around in the windows.
Robert the Doll now resides at the East Martello Museum in Key West. You can pay him a visit, but be sure to ask his permission before taking his picture, as Robert is still very temperamental (his facial expressions have been reported to change depending on his "mood"), and he's been known to jam cameras when not properly addressed. In fact, Robert is surrounded by letters from people all over the world asking Robert's forgiveness, after they have "displeased" him and been punished with bad luck.
I freaking hate this movie. It combines everything that terrifies me in one movie: home invasion, masked marauders, being stalked, being stabbed, and watching my loved ones being stabbed.
And dammit all, it's inspired by a true story. Well, a few true stories.
Director/writer Bryan Bertino was inspired to pen this film by something that happened to him while he was a kid:
As a kid, I lived in a house on a street in the middle of nowhere. One night, while our parents were out, somebody knocked on the front door and my little sister answered it. At the door were some people asking for somebody that didn't live there. We later found out that these people were knocking on doors in the area and, if no one was home, breaking into the houses.
If that isn't awful enough, he also based the movie on the Manson Family murders and the Keddie Cabin Murders.
What are the Keddie Cabin Murders?
On April 12th, 1981, the bodies of Sue Sharp, John Sharp and Dana Wingate were found mutilated in Cabin 28 at the Keddie Resort in the Sierra Nevadas. Tina Sharp, sister to John and daughter to Sue was missing (her head was found in the woods years later), and two younger siblings and their friend were found, thankfully unharmed, in another room.
All the victims were discovered by Sheila Sharp, daughter to Sue and sister to John, Tina, and the other children, after she came home from a sleepover RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
The family and friends had apparently been bound and tortured for around 10 hours while locked in the idyllic cabin in the woods. Authorities suspect that the killers were either waiting in the house for the family to return, or had followed them in.
The next cabin was only 15 feet away, and all night NOBODY HEARD ANYTHING. To this day, the murders have not been solved and Cabin 28 has since been demolished.
OK, I love this movie. Richard Gere investigates the strange sighting of a mysterious "Mothman" every time something bad happens in the quiet town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The movie was actually very loosely based on the book, "The Mothman Prophecies" by John A. Keel.
First reported in 1966 by cemetery workers, the Mothman was described as a large "winged man" who flew out of the nearby trees. The men described the creature as too large to be a bird, and possessing the arms and leg of a human. Countless sightings of the Mothman were reported in Point Pleasant between 1966 and 1967, most of them eerily consistent: glowing red eyes, a large, dark humanoid form with wings, an odd high-pitched humming sound.
Newell Partridge was watching TV one night. Suddenly, his screen went dark, a "weird pattern" appeared, and he briefly heard the high-pitched hum coming from outside his house. Hearing his dog howling, Partridge stepped outside to be confronted with two glowing red circles watching from across the yard. Partridge was understandably unnerved. Before he could stop him, his dog ran across the yard to the "eyes" and was never seen again.
One of the eeriest occurrences happened to Mary Hyre, a local reporter. One night an odd, short man, with glasses, dark hair, and a bowl cut came into her office. She described his eyes as "strange" and noted that he spoke in a "low, halting voice." He asked for directions, and at one point, when she had to excuse herself to answer the phone, she noticed him examining a pen on her desk as if he'd never seen one. Suddenly, he "grabbed the pen, laughed loudly and ran out of the building."
The Mothman's "big year" culminated in the collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant in the winter of 1967, ending the barrage of sightings that had plagued the town. The Mothman is still sighted intermittently around the world, and he has come to be known as a harbinger of doom. However, the mystery of what exactly he is still remains.
What "based on a true story" horror movies are your favorite? Do you think "Oculus" or "The Quiet Ones" will be any good? What kinds of "true story" horror movies scare you most?

Gators make history, defeat Hoyas
No. 14 Florida beats No. 9 Georgetown in rain-shortened game
The No. 14 Florida lacrosse team upset No. 9 Georgetown, 17-10, on a rainy Wednesday evening at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. The victory against the Hoyas marks the first-ever defeat of a top-10 ranked opponent in program history. The Gators are now riding a five-game winning streak, the longest in program history.
An hour-long weather delay due to heavy rains and lightning in the area paused the game directly after back-to-back goals by Caroline Cochran (Annapolis, Md.), stopping play with 17:35 remaining in the second half.
"This was a huge win for us," Florida head coach Amanda O'Leary said. "Georgetown is a premier program and is NCAA tournament-bound year-after-year. Their coach is the head coach for the U.S. National Team, so Georgetown is obviously very well-coached and incredibly prepared. For our team to come out and play the way they did, I couldn't be more proud."
Florida was led by sophomore midfielders Kitty Cullen and Brittany Dashiell with four goals apiece. Sophomore attacker Ashley Bruns contributed four points, as she found the back of the net three times and assisted on a Dashiell score in the second half.
Seven Gators scored for the third game in a row. Janine Hillier \and Cochran each netted two for the Gators while Caroline Chesterman notched a goal for Florida. Freshman Krista Grabher scored her first goal for the Orange and Blue, sparking a three-goal run for the Gators late in the second half after play had resumed.
Georgetown's Jacqueline Giles scored early in the evening for Georgetown's only lead of the game before Cullen went on a three-game run to put Florida ahead 3-1. Georgetown answered back with two goals of their own to tie the game with 17 minutes remaining in the half. Florida then went on a four-goal run sparked by Chesterman's lone goal of the evening, a spinning shot from the left side of the crease.
Georgetown scored again to put the Hoyas back on the board but goals by Dashiell and Bruns put the Gators ahead, 9-4. Bruns was fed by sophomore defender Haydon Judge, notching her second-career assist.
Hillier's goal with 35 ticks remaining in the first half gave the Gators a 10-5 advantage heading into the second half, but without leading scorer Cullen, as she was given two yellow cards against and was suspended for the final 30:18 of the contest.
The Gators scored on seven of 13 shots (.538) in the second half and took full advantage of their strength on the draw, winning 11 out of 13 draw controls in the second half.
Georgetown scored the first two goals of the second stanza before Dashiell scored from Bruns to put the Gators ahead, 11-7. Cochran scored back-to-back goals, including a shot on an open net, to put Florida ahead, 13-7, as the call was made to end the game.
"It was really an all-around effort for our team," Cochran said. "We really wanted to win. We were ready to get back out there (after the rain delay)."
Out of the delay, Georgetown once again found the back of the net twice, but Grabher stepped up in Cullen's absence, cutting through the defense and finding the back of the net with just 7:39 remaining in the contest. Dashiell scored on a free-position shot before Bruns found the back of the net, thanks to a great look from Colby Rhea. Georgetown scored one final time with 45 seconds remaining before Dashiell scored off a perfect pass from sophomore midfielder Jamie Reeg to seal the Gators' victory with nine seconds remaining in the game.

Kicking off 2010 in Atlanta
Well, it is now official…I even have a shiny new State of Georgia Driver's License this month to prove it! Why is it your driver's license photo always makes it look like you just got out of prison, or maybe should go to prison? And no, I am not posting the image of it in this post or anywhere else
2010 is here, or has been for a few weeks now, and a great New Year it is looking to be. For one, as noted in the title, I was able to kick it off in Atlanta. Even if just barely – the movers unloaded us on New Year's eve! But we were officially here, which is just where my family and I wanted to be on Jan 1st, in our new home town. Atlanta is a great town. We are excited to explore the city and the surrounding areas. The first weekend landed us at the Aquarium, which was amazing. If you come to town, I recommend it!
Additionally, Grizzard Communications is an outstanding company to kick off the New Year with! Grizzard, a leading nonprofit response marketing and fundraising agency with offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles, contacted me with a great opportunity in the later part of last year. While the reasons to join the Grizzard team, a group with 90 years of experience and an impressive client base, were many, one stood out in particular. As the Vice President of Digital Marketing, spearheading delivery of our digital services and offerings, I have the opportunity to expand proven digital strategies to a portfolio of clients that work in the US and across the globe to help those in need, look to cure disease, protect animals, are there when disasters hit and bring the services to our communities that make them a better place. And that is just too hard to pass up. Plus, partnering with these groups to build digital programs that build engagement and loyalty faster than arguably any other media ever before, provides a great attraction and a challenge. And I love it! Arm your supporters with the digital tools they need, and give them a chance to take a more direct role in changing the world, and they will be your fundraisers, advocates, supporters, volunteers, adding reach and dollars to your cause in a way not possible before.
My time at Grizzard has confirmed that this great opportunity was also the perfect fit. Over the past months, it has been impressive to see the talent within the organization. Not only have I made some great new friends, but enjoy working with what is proven to me again and again to be leading talent as client strategies are developed and delivered. Branding, Research & Analytics, Creative, Account Management, Strategic Planning, Media Buying, Integrated & Digital Marketing, Proprietary Technologies, Campaign Delivery. Working in tandem to deliver results. Results that allow leading nonprofits to go further, do more, help more. How can that not end up making the world a better place?
I hope you are off to a great 2010 as well. And if I can help your program out, don't hesitate to contact me at:

A well known fast food restaurant chain is promoting the General Education Document program in almost half of Kentucky's counties. People dining at McDonald's restaurants in 53 counties will be encouraged on customer tray liners to take the GED test.
The tray liners will also remind guests that the GED test is changing next year. Anyone who has successfully completed parts of the test must finish by Dec. 18 or scores will expire. The Council on Postsecondary Education says this is the eighth year for the McDonald's GED campaign. It was started in three restaurants by Joe Graviss, a central Kentucky McDonald's owner/operator and member of the council.

360 Degree for Jewish Students from WUJS
360 Feedback is a powerful management tool that can rapidly improve performance in large local Jewish student groups and national unions. 360° performance feedback is the process of evaluating performance by asking a wide range of people to give feedback to volunteers on their performance. This feedback could come from union members, fellow committee members, the union chair, or even university staff. Because feedback is gathered from a number of different people, Jewish activists won't find the results biased or unfairly critical, but rather are likely to take criticisms and suggestions on board in an effort to improve.
How it works
For each job, or kind of job, within a Jewish student union, a list of the skills and behaviours required for that job is written. This would include things like 'approachable; eager-to-please; has necessary knowledge' and so on. The union activist then elects a number of people they are in contact with to participate in their review. It is important that choice over who gives feedback is given to the person being reviewed - otherwise they are likely to resent the advice given. From the list of people to give feedback that the activist has prepared, the person overseeing the 360° feedback process, selects a few to actually give the feedback - this means that if there are people on the Activist's list who are considered unsuitable they won't actually give feedback.
Those giving feedback complete surveys, rating the individual's performance in each of the skill and behaviour areas deemed important for the activist's job. The activist may also fill out a survey, rating his or her own performance.
Survey responses are compiled and the individual receives a report summarising others' perceptions of his or her performance, highlighting strengths and development needs. The editing process must be done by somebody trusted, and confidentiality must be adhered to. The report should make it clear where other's feel improvements can be made, but also must praise the activist where appropriate.
Gaining a better understanding of others' perspectives allows a union activist to see her or his own strengths and weaknesses more clearly, through the eyes of others. Strengths and training needs can be easily identified in this way. What is considered success is made more clear to the Activist, if only from the questions that are placed on the feedback survey. All of this leads to an improvement in performance. In addition, running a 360° Feedback programme demonstrates to Activists that their performance is considered important, as is their own development.
After a survey is complete, it is important to give the individual union activist an opportunity to discuss their report with the 360° Feedback scheme coordinator, or the union Chair.

I still remember the first time I purchased a carpet in a specialized rug store. Up until that point, I had heard of such a thing as rug padding, but I admit I didn't know the first thing about it, including how it looks or what it's for. So, there I was, checking out the bottom of my carpet and asking the retailers "Is this what they refer to as carpet padding?" After a while of laughing, they managed to explain to me that rug padding is something completely different. I learned that a rug pad is a type of standalone padding placed between the rug and the floor with many benefits in mind. They didn't go too deep into telling me more about carpet pads but they did offer a free rug pad to go with the carpet, which I found a pretty sweet deal. However, when I later did some research of my own, I realized that the deal wasn't nearly as sweet as I thought, since these free rug pads are of horrible quality and can actually ruin the carpet. I quickly threw it away as I kept looking into the various types of rug padding. Since my rug was going to be stationed in the living room beneath a fairly sizeable table, I wanted to know if it was possible to prevent furniture indentations occurring after some time of being crushed by the table. I was very pleased to realize that, in fact, this was one of the more common reasons why people seek out a rug pad. All I needed was to make sure the rug pad in question was dense and rigid enough, of the appropriate material to go with my carpet. I was also hoping that the padding might help block cold temperatures from the floor making their way above the rug. Apparently, a flat rubber rug pad often comes in as the best choice for this. I was very surprised by the many various functions a rug pad can perform just by lying on the floor inert, such as preventing the sliding of those smaller area rugs. There were also rug pads that could, much like the free rug pad given to me by the vendor, damage the rug, often in the form of stains. I can't imagine buying a rug pad expecting benefits and having your carpet stained by it as a result feels that pleasant. Because I only have one rug that's not even a full room one, I was able to afford appropriate rug padding without too much dent in my pocket, but if you have a house full of rugs and are looking to outfit each with a quality rug pad, you might want to consider your budget before deciding to shop. Rug pads are fairly abundant and the best place to get them is often through ordering online, as it requires the least hassle and ensures you will get a rug pad of the exact size you require. I always recommend Rug Pad USA.

Kare 11's story on HSRA students taking on distracted driving. See More
For 15 year-old HSRA student, Rondale, the notion of flying an airplane wasn't even on his radar screen. After all, Rondale was like so many other HSRA students who had never even been a passenger on a plane. To most HSRA students, the inkling of maneuvering the controls of a plane would just be plain unimaginable. However, now, the thought of flying a plane has morphed from being a far-fetched idea to an actual, bona fide reality. That's because in 2016, HSRA officially launched its new aviation program, designed to introduce the basic concepts of flying to students along with actually flying a plane at the end of the course.

This film documented HSRA students' trip to Canada to embark on a multi day trip from Montreal to Quebec City and experience different cultures and their own limitations. "Keepin' It Wheel" is a student driven project from the students at High School for Recording Arts.

CAM6: Declickle 2
What else would you call something that removes all traces of clicks and crackle?
The Problem
CEDAR invented real-time digital declicking and decrackling, demonstrating them to amazed audiences at the 89th AES Convention. However, these earliest digital declickers and decracklers suffered from a limitation; while they removed impulsive noises from the majority of material, they could damage the sounds of brass instruments, solo violins and singing, and all declickers based on the techniques revealed by CEDAR's original research still suffer from it.
The Solution
Declickle 2 embodies new technology, offering better impulsive noise detection and a better interpolator than any previous declicker or decrackler. This results in superior performance across a wider range of material than ever before. Indeed, this performance is so good that, in almost all cases, it is not possible to hear that the signal was damaged prior to restoration.
Why Declickle 2?
Unlike a standard declicker, Declickle 2 is able to detect high densities of low amplitude, short duration disturbances within the signal. However, removing each of these unwanted impulses using a basic interpolator would not be satisfactory because of their fundamental nature. Standard algorithms assume that a click or scratch has totally corrupted the audio and that there is no useful information about the wanted signal during the click. Since the disruptions that cause crackle are very small they may be considered to be additive, and this assumption is no longer appropriate. Declicking a crackly signal discards a lot of useful information that an optimal algorithm can use to improve the quality of the processed audio.
Despite the power of Declickle 2, its user-interface is extremely easy and quick to use, and is suitable for users with limited audio engineering experience.
The Plaudits
CEDAR's DC-1, DCX and DDH declickers are acclaimed throughout the audio industry and our 96kHz software declicker won a SSAIRA Award as the best plug-in of the year.

Collaborative Initiative Uses Advanced Technologies to Deliver Better Care With Immersive Doctor-Patient Interactions
LONG BEACH, CA and SACRAMENTO, CA--(Marketwire - January 15, 2010) - Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced a ground-breaking telemedicine pilot program initiative with Molina Healthcare, two community health centers in San Diego, and the state of California to provide health and wellness services to underserved communities throughout the state. More than 15 sites will be equipped to deliver telemedicine primary and specialty care services using Cisco HealthPresence™, a care-at-a-distance technology solution that combines state-of-the-art video, audio, and medical information to create a patient care experience similar to the common medical encounter when patients visit their healthcare providers. As part of this program, Cisco is contributing $10 million of product, services and support.
Through this California Telemedicine Pilot Project, Molina Healthcare, Mountain Health and Community Services and La Maestra Community Health Centers will use Cisco HealthPresence to deliver primary and specialty care services, and the University of California at Davis, a leader in telemedicine, is currently working to join the ecosystem as well. The availability of a care-at-a-distance network will give patients easier access to doctors and specialists that equals or exceeds an in-person medical visit. Cisco HealthPresence includes integrated state-of-the-art medical diagnostic equipment to provide healthcare professionals with excellent evaluative capabilities and it allows both doctors and patients to engage in an experience that is more participatory and immersive than in-person visits or telemedicine initiatives of the past. Through the use of high-definition cameras and electronic scopes, patients will also be able to see and listen to the medical examination in the same way as the clinician, allowing for more informed interactions with physicians. HealthPresence also enables multiple members of a patient's care team -- primary care provider, specialist physicians, care manager, family members and others -- to meet in real-time, regardless of location or distance. This supports better care collaboration and patient management.
Although HealthPresence has been piloted for two years in clinical settings, this initiative serves as a proof-of-concept for Cisco and its partners to demonstrate the value of a scalable, cost-efficient telemedicine network that scales the medical workforce and scarce clinical expertise by connecting facilities across the state of California, in real time, for activities such as patient care and education, as well as clinician-to-clinician consultation or education.
Supporting Quotes:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor, State of California
"California is already a world leader in technology, so it makes sense that we also lead the way in applying technology to healthcare. We have been laying the groundwork for years with our Broadband Task Force and Telehealth Network and we are beginning to see fantastic results, including greater access to quality medical care throughout the state. What Cisco is doing here with the latest in high-tech approaches and communication is the future of medicine and we are very excited to see such innovative partners work to expand telemedicine connections and medical care in California."
John Chambers, chairman and chief executive officer, Cisco
"Healthcare is in the midst of a major market transition -- and technology can make a tremendous impact. This public/private partnership between Cisco, Molina Healthcare and the state of California marks the latest in a series of steps we are taking to help modernize our healthcare system and bring about new models of healthcare delivery. The use of video and collaboration has significant benefits for the doctor/patient experience as we know it, and Cisco sees telemedicine as a vehicle for transforming healthcare on a global scale. At Cisco, we have a strong culture of giving back, and we are fortunate to work alongside private and public sector leaders like Molina Healthcare, as well as a visionary governor to help propel this project forward and bring about equitable access to cost-effective, quality healthcare services."
J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and chief executive officer, Molina Healthcare, Inc.
"By implementing HealthPresence in our Molina Medical offices, our patients will have increased access to healthcare services. With this system, healthcare professionals need not be physically present in the same location as the patient. In addition to interaction with their providers, patients will also benefit from interactions with our health educators and dieticians who are not physically located in the clinics. For example, our dieticians and health educators will provide diabetic patients with instruction on controlling diabetes and on how to administer insulin shots."
Judith Shaplin, chief executive officer, Mountain Health and Community Services and Zara Marselian, chief executive officer, La Maestra Community Health Centers
"We are pleased to partner with Cisco and use HealthPresence to provide care for the Safety Net. Health centers are consistently challenged to find innovative ways of improving access to care for uninsured and rural populations. We hope this collaborative implementation of HealthPresence among our clinics in San Diego will be a model for others across the state, as well as encourage additional support for the use of telemedicine to bridge distance and coordinate care."

34% of businesses can't calculate email marketing ROI: report
Just over a third of businesses (34%) are unable to calculate the revenue earned from email marketing, according to a new survey from the DMA.
Only 60% of respondents said that they could calculate the revenue return, despite the fact that a vast majority of businesses (89%) said email marketing was either 'very important' or 'important'.
This tallies with data from the new Econsultancy/Responsys Marketing Budgets 2013 Report, which found that only 52% of businesses rate their ability to measure ROI from email marketing as 'good'.
According to the DMA's report, of those who can calculate the ROI one-fifth (20%) accrue more than £51 for every pound spent, while almost a half (49%) of respondents said they achieve an ROI of between £1 and £10 for every £1 spent.
US marketers can no longer self-regulate
With the DMA announcing their new one million dollar PR campaign "Data-Driven Marketing Institute," the question of privacy and rules around customer data has become a greater focus of some of the panels this morning. Jordon Cohen of Moveable Ink, brought up the headline "Target knows a teenage girl is pregnant before her own father does" and posed the question: have we finally gone too far?
For those of you who didn't read this headline in February, an irate father charged into a Target store demanding they stop targeting his teenage daughter with emails full of baby products because she wasn't pregnant. It turns out Target was right, and the father was wrong. She was pregnant and her shift in product purchase at Target made the marketers behind the brand know of her news before any of the world may have known.
Jason Scoggins of Freshpair stressed that targeting has to go through a "creep" filter and in the case of the Target example, they went too far.
Big data: shifting the bell curve to the long tail
Chris Anderson from Wired opened the DMA conference in Las Vegas focusing on a subject on everyone's mind this year: big data. For Anderson, big data isn't just little data, bigger. It's a major shift of mind set that he predicts will be a necessary core competency for businesses and the work force alike.
We've come from a world as marketers where there is a right and wrong. A single hypothesis that we test or a good model that we want to scale. But big data isn't about that. We have to think like Google.
Overcome by ineffectiveness of direct mail
I am registered as a speaker for the DMA conference starting today and I'm very much looking forward to what looks like an exciting conference with a great lineup of speakers and sessions.
What I have been less impressed with is the show sponsors' approach to marketing. For instance, one day last week I received 22 pieces of direct mail from sponsors of the event (and 5-10 most other days).
Craig Hanna on the rise of mobile
In just over three months, Econsultancy will be heading to Vegas for the 2012 Direct Marketing Association (DMA) global event for real-time marketers.
Not only will we be covering the wide range of panels and speakers there, but our North American EVP, Craig Hanna, will be leading the panel "What do users want from mobile commerce sites."
Changes and challenges for email marketers in 2012: report
Article after article has claimed "email is dead." Not only does email marketing have stanch supporters, saying that it doesn't work simply isn't true. For some, it works better than anything else.
Econsultancy's Email in Action survey, conducted with the Email Experience Council of the DMA, highlights the challenges, opportunities and changes in email marketing in the US.
38% of UK consumers prefer SMS to mobile web
Consumers prefer to receive promotions by text message rather than mobile web, according to new research by the Direct Marketing Association.
The study found that 38% of UK consumers prefer SMS promotions compared to just 15% that favour mobile web.
However, this is likely to be a reflection of the number of consumers who own smartphones - which currently stands at around 46% in the UK according to Ofcom.
Why are marketers neutral on net neutrality?
It seems all anyone's talking about in terms of online policy these days is Facebook's privacy kerfluffle. Which is kind of a big deal, but small potatoes, really, when compared to the really big, burning, important issue of the day: net neutrality.
This critical issue may not be at the forefront of news, opinion columns and debate in the media, but the fact that digital marketers and e-commerce providers are ignoring it is as baffling as it is inexcusable. The major broadband providers: Comcast, Verizon, AT&T and Time Warner want to tax content providers. They want to determine what sites their subscribers can access, and how quickly - giving priority, of course, to their own products and services.

Jonathan Davies big tackle against Leinster
Young Welsh centre Jonathan Davies made this fantastic tackle against Leinster in the Heineken Cup on the weekend as his side, the Scarlets, went down 32-7 at home.
You can watch the highlights of the match here if you haven't already. There were some great tries scored as Leinster got off to a flyer, going 22-0 up early on.
Scarlets came back with a great try to Davies, who at times seems to be referred to as Jon, which helps to avoid mix-ups when pundit, commentator, and former Wales player Jonathan Davies is around.
Jon powered through the defence, evading at least three tacklers on his way to the tryline. He showed the same power later in the match, as he picked up and drove Leinster flanker Kevin McLaughlin back a good few metres.
You can't help but think back to another Welsh centre lifting up and carrying back his opposition a few years back. On that day it was Gavin Henson, and it was a young Englishman he imposed himself on, not an Irishman.
Davies seems to be the real deal, and perhaps it won't be long before we see him in action for his country as a regular starter. He replaced Shanklin for the final Test of the Autumn Internationals against Australia, and will no doubt feature strongly in the upcoming Six Nations.
Leinster pick up bonus point in good win over Scarlets
The mystery that is Gavin Henson - Will he return?

MURRIETA, Calif. --Two 15-year-old boys in Murrieta are in custody after allegedly planning serious attacks on fellow students and teachers.
Both teens are students at Vista Murrieta High School in Riverside County. They were arrested on Wednesday and booked for conspiracy to commit murder.
The FBI alerted Murrieta police to alleged online threats, but investigators say there was no indication an attack was imminent.
School officials told parents about the arrests. Both boys are being held at Southwest Juvenile Hall in Murrieta.
The City News Service contributed to this report.

This Pinoy Chicken Curry Recipe is the Filipino version of Chicken Curry. Just like any other chicken curry dishes, this has a nice rich flavor and aroma that you will surely love.
How did this Chicken Curry Recipe came into being? It can be traced many years back. The Philippines is considered as the melting pot of Asia. People of different race and origin call it their home. Along with themselves, these people (migrants, traders, and colonizers) brought their culture, tradition, and food. This is the reason why spices such as curry has made its debut in the Philippine Cuisine. There were also some evidence of Indian trade during the early years of the Philippines. It is possible that Indian traders (and settlers, as well) introduced the dish to the Filipinos and supplied the spices to keep the trade business moving.
Another Filipino Recipe that has a resemblance with Chicken Curry is "Ginataang Manok" (chicken cooked in coconut milk). The only noticeable difference between the two is that Ginataang Manok does not use any strong spices.
I like this chicken curry recipe because it is easy to prepare. Although we used commercialized curry powder, I made sure that I chose the brand with the best quality. You see, traditional Chicken curry is made by combining different spices to turn them into curry. What we have here is a quick variation that produces almost the similar quality.
Try this Chicken Curry Recipe and send me your feedback.

ST. LOUIS — In an exhortation to the Hickory Huskers, Coach Norman Dale laid out the ethos that — in the movie Hoosiers — would produce a champion.
"Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit — team, team, team — no one more important than the other."
In the real world, a championship team needs all parts pulling in the same direction — but some roles are more vital to success than others.
When the Kentucky Wildcats open the 2014 NCAA Tournament on Friday night against Kansas State, the Cats will be trying to flip the narrative of a disappointing regular season with a redemptive tournament run.
In reverse order of the (OK, my) expected import of their role, here is what each Kentucky player needs to produce if the Midwest Region No. 8 seed Wildcats are to roar this March.
16 (tie). EJ Floreal, Tod Lanter, Brian Long, Sam Malone. Of Kentucky's four walk-ons, only Floreal (three) has played in more than one game this season and he is the only one who has scored (a basket against Robert Morris in November). Cheering hard — and doing their part to keep the team grade-point average up — would seem the most the walk-ons will be asked to contribute this March.
12. Derek Willis. The Bullitt East product has scored one field goal in a game since Nov. 17. I believe Willis has the ability to be a quality player on a Kentucky team that makes a deep March run — but that chance is not going to come this year.
11. Jon Hood. If, in the NCAA Tournament, John Calipari has to call on the fifth-year senior from Madisonville to produce energy as he had to do when Hood gave the Cats 13 "hustle minutes" in a road win at Mississippi State Feb. 8, it would not be a good sign.
10. Marcus Lee. The bouncy Californian had 17 points against UNC Asheville in UK's season opener — and has 28 the rest of the season. Still, if NCAA Tournament games are called tight by the officials, there is a scenario where foul trouble could give Lee a chance to provide Kentucky frontcourt minutes.
9. Dominique Hawkins. From the Robert Morris game (Nov. 17) through UK's SEC opener in Rupp Arena against Mississippi State (Jan. 8), the former Madison Central star played double-figure minutes in 10 of 11 games. Since then, he's played only 48 minutes the rest of the season. Still, if UK finds itself getting torched by dribble penetration, Hawkins could be the UK defender best suited to stopping that.
8. Jarrod Polson. Though he has not shot well this season (11-for-34), the senior guard could provide veteran moxie to the Kentucky backcourt if the Cats' freshman guards struggle under tournament pressure.
7. Alex Poythress. If UK gets the Poythress who averaged 10.6 points in January — and not the Poythress who has averaged 4.2 in the 13 games since — it could give the Cats a positive X-Factor for the tournament run.
6. Dakari Johnson. The true freshman center has come on late (hit 16 of his last 27 field-goal tries) and the Cats benefit from both Johnson's emotion and his basketball smarts.
5. Aaron Harrison. UK needs the locked-in shooting guard of the SEC tourney (18-for-36 field goals, 9-for-20 treys) and not the two man with errant aim who went 11-for-43 from the field in the final four regular-season games.
4. James Young. More efficient scoring from Young, who has gotten up 91 shots in UK's eight most recent games but has made only 34, would be a boon to the Cats.
3. Willie Cauley-Stein. For all the talk about how UK's defensive length could be the Cats' Big Dance difference-maker, Kentucky really has only one shot-blocker — the 7-foot Cauley-Stein. When he plays like he did against Florida in the SEC championship game (10 points, 11 rebounds, five blocks, two steals) UK goes to another level.
2. Julius Randle. Randle enters the NCAA Tournament having made 30 of his last 78 field-goal attempts. Whether or not he regains his offensive mojo could go a long way in determining how long UK plays.
1. Andrew Harrison. Tournament basketball often comes down to point guard play. The Andrew Harrison at the SEC Tournament provided winning direction, with 19 assists to nine turnovers and three straight double-figure scoring games. Conversely, in the last six games of the regular season, Harrison shot 16-for-57 and had a 23-14 assist/turnover ratio.
To have a chance of producing some magic in March, UK needs the league-tourney version of Andrew Harrison.

(Reuters) - The Washington Capitals named former Nashville Predators bench boss Barry Trotz as their head coach and promoted Brian MacLellan to the role of general manager, the National Hockey League team said on Monday.
Trotz and MacLellan replace Adam Oates, who was fired as the team's head coach and general manger after two seasons, the latest which ended with the Capitals missing the playoffs for the first time in seven years.
Trotz, 51, who was fired in April after 15 seasons with Nashville, having been with the team since its inception, after the Predators failed to qualify for the playoffs.
"Barry is a highly respected and accomplished coach who brings us a wealth of experience. He possesses high character and the exact leadership qualities we look for in the head coach, Capitals majority owner Ted Leonsis said in a statement.
"He was the only coach we coveted, and we feel he is an ideal fit to help lead our club."
Trotz, a former NHL coach of the year nominee who is fourth in wins among active bench bosses, has ties to the Capitals as a former coach in the team's minor-league system during the 1990s.
The 55-year-old MacLellan has spent the previous 13 seasons with the Capitals, the last seven of which has been in charge of player scouting and development.

Mexico Excels in Manufacturing Competitiveness Index
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) recently released its latest Global Manufacturing Cost-Competitiveness Index, exploring the top 25 exporting economies in the world, which combine to also account for 90% of the global export of manufactured goods. The US and Mexico were labeled the study's "rising stars," fueled by stable wage growth, sustainable productivity gains, steady exchange rates and sizable energy-cost advantages. Indeed, in Mexico's case, lower average manufacturing costs than in China are also a huge advantage.
As reported in Industry Week, the BCG study examines four key economic factors: wages, productivity growth, energy costs and currency rates. Mexico fares well across all factors, even considering that energy costs in Mexico are higher than those found in the US.
It's important to point out that this study is based solely on cost competitiveness. It doesn't factor in the aspect that makes Mexico arguably the most attractive manufacturing location in the western hemisphere right now – opportunity. With the most free trade agreements in the world, Mexico is the ideal hub for manufacturing products destined for export to not just North and South America, but also to Europe and Asia. That opportunity equates to growth prospects that other low-cost locations can't match.
Importance of Regionalism
As BCG's Harold Sirkin points out in the study, many companies are making manufacturing investment decisions based on a "decades-old worldview that is sorely out of date." Of course there are expensive and affordable countries in nearly every region of the world now. Heck, there are high- and low-cost CITIES all over the world. So the notion of being able to shift production to a single location for low-cost production to serve the entire world just isn't reality anymore. Companies need multiple hubs in strategic, cost-competitive areas of the world.

In such a short space and in limited time, this question is always going to be challenging for one person to answer. It also depends on how far back in time one is prepared to challenge one's self to do this.
Conventionally, particularly with online publications and, in this case, blogs, writers and thought leaders generally take us back to the last century or, at best, the last two hundred years or so. Some are lucky in the sense that their nations and/or cultural gatherings are relatively young, so, of course, they can perhaps list great men and women with a lot more clarity for the benefit of others still foreign to their heritage.
But for me, where do I begin to tell a story about some of the greatest women (and there are plenty equally great men well worth mentioning too)? At what particular point in our human history do I begin? Fortunately, this challenging task is made a little lighter because, quite frankly, at this stage of my life, I cannot go back too far. In fact, I dare say I will have a hard time remembering many women from the first half of the last century. A much easier mission would confine me to the last twenty or so years because events and the women (and men) that helped shape them may still be fresh in my mind.
This post is slightly longer than most of the others I have written to date, but in saying that, I don't think I'd be able to squeeze in too many prominent men and women. I could, however, go down the road of doing a little more internet research and simply compile for you a list of the most prominent women of history. One could go as far back in history as one chose to. This task, when you come to think of it, is actually quite easy. You simply type in your keywords and there you go. But don't expect to be presented with the same names on a consistent basis. Invariably there will be some names which will keep on coming up because they are just that important or famous.
I try my best to be as unique and as innovative and original as possible with my own blog writing. I hope you have been enjoying it so far, by the way. So, fair to say, you are about to be presented with yet another list with familiar names popping up on your screen. I've decided to set myself yet another challenge for completing the rest of this blog post. I am not going to leave my seat until it is completed and published. One or two links may or may not be added. At this stage, I do not know, this is also entirely up to my editor who is very kindly hosting this website on my behalf.
It also allows me more time and space for me to prepare for my lessons. As I was saying, I was talking about a new challenge and not leaving my desk. It's cluttered at the moment. There are piles of papers and a small box of CDs lying to one side. My USB stick is no-where to be seen. I have deliberately switched myself off from the internet. Also, I will not be getting up from my desk to go and look up a name that I suspect I may have misspelled or a fact that I may have miscued. In these closing lines, you be the teacher. And may I also speak on a first name basis. Firstly, I regard these great women as my friends, although most of them should be respected as mothers.
This is also convenient, because our cultural diversity challenges us with names not always easy to remember or spell correctly. I begin with the most recent figment of my worldly admiration for great women. Young Malala is not yet twenty. And yet she has already won the Nobel Prize for Peace. Forget, for a moment, what happened to her, but focus rather on what she continues to achieve on behalf of women and children from around the world. She is particularly prominent in advocating for the right to be educated, seeing as though there are still many countries in the world who do not allow women and their children to be educated properly.
It was not her original name to begin with, but she is known the world over as Mother Teresa. She has also won the Peace Prize. To many she is officially deified as a saint. All people who do good deeds for others, in my view, are saints, but anyway, look at what this remarkable woman achieved for the poorest of the poor, also known as the Untouchables, in India. Another Nobel Peace Prize winner is Suu Kyi who last year won yet another landslide election with her National League for Democracy in Myanmar. Finally, after many years of strife and incarceration, she and her political and social partners will be leading their multicultural Southeast jewel towards democracy.
Ellen should be regarded as Africa's mother for the time being. I am still surprised that she is still Liberia's president. She surely has one of the most difficult leadership positions in the world. But her compassionate leadership is making a difference to a nation which has been traumatized and burnt by many years of violent dictatorships and civil wars. Wangari is not just a mother of Africa; she is a mother of the earth. Her Nobel Prize was in recognition for the sterling work she did right up until her death, of improving our environment and reversing the tide of global warming and climate changed caused by man's greed.
Time is running out again, I'm afraid, so there's just enough room for one more famous woman, very much relevant to today's times. A peace prize, let me just say this, is surely around the corner for German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

That's Bebe Buell. Speaking of good looks and Todd Rundgren, my friend Ben says he recently crossed paths with a woman wearing a dress with the same print as the cover of Something/Anything. So now I want a Something/Anything dress, as well as a Disraeli Gears dress (without the band's faces), a Blood Sugar Sex Magik dress (just the middle part, with the rose and the swirly thorns), and maybe a Merriweather Post Pavilion romper for summertime.
I also want a Revolver dress, to go with the Revolver notebook I bought in Argentina in February.
And a "Their Satanic Majesties Request detail" dress, which would be floor-sweeping and princess-sleeved. That one most of all.

So as you can see down at the footer, I've been reading Thanissaro Bikkhu's The Wings to Awakening for some time now, and the main theme I'm getting is that everything the Buddha taught comes down to a process of practice (or maybe a practice of process?) as well as a system of developing skills. It isn't as simple as getting totally blissed out on some amateur enlightenment experience. And it isn't so difficult that it's completely untouchable and mystical. But it can be overwhelming, and at times seem paradoxical.
For instance, take karma. The conventional wisdom says that we need to develop good karma. And this is true. And isn't. Because ultimately the goal is to develop the 4th type of karma, that which leads to the end of karma.
And what is kamma that is neither dark nor bright with neither dark nor bright result, leading to the ending of kamma? The intention right there to abandon this kamma that is dark with dark result, the intention right there to abandon this kamma that is bright with bright result, the intention right there to abandon this kamma that is dark & bright with dark & bright result. This is called kamma that is neither dark nor bright with neither dark nor bright result, leading to the ending of kamma.
It is in a virtuous life that we lay down the foundation for practice we construct that will aid us in our goal of unbinding. But that isn't really enough either. Because we need to have right view and right mindfulness and cultivate all the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path.
Of course, it isn't that simple. Developing "right view" alone could take years, decades, lifetimes.
This path at times can seem complicated, especially when one tries to look at the entire path and system all at once. It is easy to get lost in the old sutras, or even in the modern commentary of them. There is a whole site devoted to the lists of lists in Buddhism, and the list is quite extensive.
This is where it helps to see the dharma as a practice, and viewing the dharma as a process really comes in. First, go to the triple gem. Actualize the precepts. Focus on the breath. Then focus on the body without reference to the feelings on the body that come up… etc…
One step at a time. One breathe at a time. We all know that the bucket fills one drop at a time. But in Buddhism we're trying to empty that bucket. Sometimes we forget that it will empty the same way it filled up. At times we'll need to use a thimble to gently scoop tiny drops out; other times we'll need a ladle to splash things around a bit. There are many skills to develop on the path that we can layer onto our practice that all help us to empty that bucket and reach nirvana.
There is no way to do this all at once. There is no way to do it in a week, a month, a year. You can't jump right to the 4th type of karma. You have to start with the basics, and know your limitations. It is a process and it takes time. The dharma was laid out in a system of steps to take to finally reach ultimate unbinding, nirvana. Use the steps to focus on where your feet plant firmly on the ground and with one eye look a few feet ahead. In this way the great process will unravel itself and reveal a ground upon which you can forge your path.
So this is where my practice is. I view it knowing that probably no great awakening will happen this month or year. My practice is a process that will evolve, in that I have faith. To see it in this way feels liberating. For now I will stretch, and sit with my breath, and keep an eye out for the ox. I will sit for 20 minutes at a time. Next year, it will look different, more developed (hopefully!). In 20 years, it won't resemble anything that I'm doing now. It's hard work and the results aren't evident right away. This is where faith comes in. Faith that what I'm doing today will lead to a better practice tomorrow. This is the process.
