Google abandons Search
It's hard to explain to people new to the web since 2004 - the Digg kids - the effect that Google had on the internet at the turn of the decade. They can't conceive the Before and the After.

"Somehow I knew that the notional space behind
all of the computer screens would be one single universe."
William Gibson
In this movie we immerse in a documentary adventure game and explore the world of hackers and nerds.
Together with the filmmaker and the slogan "use hacking as a mindset" we immerse in a documentary adventure game and explore the world of Komputerfrieks, as they used to call themselves at the inaugural meeting of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC for short) in 1981. We come upon an open, free-spirited society. The events of the CCC are a kind of utopian real-world reflection of the virtual spectrum. We encounter angels, agents, activists, free Wifi network advocates, robots and furries, coders and makers. We learn what a hack is, why lockpicking can be important, how a cellular system works. We dive into the game and become part of the community that is as inclusive as it is sophisticated. Still outside of this collective the challenges are immense in an era, in which political certainties and institutions increasingly erode. Models of governance, economics, social order, technology and science are being put into question 24/7. With the internet's rules of conduct, national laws are being repealed and transformed into global structures. While the worldwide web would structurally actually allow a radical renewal of democracy, changing it from representation to participation, more and more states are drifting towards authoritarian societies in political reality. In the course of that process, en passant the largest surveillance machinery of human history has been created.
We see how the hacker culture meets these challenges and what inner contradictions it encounters. We learn that our lives are not determined by general, given truths but actually through the way we work, develop ourselves, suffer or dream. The events of the CCC become a possible blueprint of social upheaval. Self-organization, freedom of expression and critical discussion merge in a colorful, polyphonic chorus apart from social norms and capitalist constraints: "Be excellent to each other!"
Using hacking as a mind-set as well we want to find alternative methods in dealing with the financing of the production and distribution as well – with your support!

text: 20 May 2009Debra Barr - one of the last remaining candidates on the BBC's The Apprentice - has had a breast enlargement, it's been revealed. The 24-year-old sales consultant from Surrey reportedly had a boob job when she was 17, increasing her A cup bust to a hefty D cup.One source close to Debra told The Sun, "She was unhappy with her figure and thought getting fake boobs would make her more attractive." And, with only a few weeks left until the end of the current series, the News of the World has published images of Debra showing off her enhanced chest several years after her surgery. Debra is one of seven contestants remaining in The Apprentice this year, but is one of the series' least popular contestants. Her fiery personality has meant that she has clashed with a number of other competitors, as well as one of Sir Alan Sugar's trusted advisers, Nick Hewer. In the past, she has said: "When I set my sights on something I have to make sure I get it. I am very cautious and only let the people I can trust see the softer side of me." However, Debra isn't the only Apprentice candidate to have undergone cosmetic surgery. Helene Speight, a contender in the 2008 series, also had a boob job in 2005. Last year, a source told The Sun, "Helene wasn't shy to show pictures of her new assets. "Helene's not embarrassed in the slightest. She thinks if it makes you happy and feel more confident, good luck."

pp. 17-33 Summary and Analysis
The discussion of the author's childhood continues. There were few kids his age so he spent most of his time with the adults. There was violence in the neighborhood and a lot of anger and frustration. People dreamed of a better life but there wasn't much passion in what they did.
Some people escape this kind of life through the classroom. The author attended St. Regina's but doesn't have many memories of his school days. He does remember having problems with grammar and math and would daydream in class as a result. Rose liked science as a result of a chemistry set he received as a Christmas gift. He would read the science book in the meager St. Regina's library. His interest in writing developed in high school. A family friend began to drive him to the public library...

The globular cluster 47 Tucanae (in the southern constellation of Tucana, the toucan) is a massive group of roughly a million stars packed into a ball which is only 60 light years in radius. A number of strange objects lurk within this cluster, including rapidly spinning neutron stars and accreting systems in which an ultradense object strips material off a gravitationally-bound companion. Perhaps the most unusual of the strange objects in 47 Tuc is an X-ray emitting object called 47 Tuc X9. This object was first identified as an X-ray source in 2001 and originally thought to be a common type of low-mass X-ray binary consisting of a white dwarf which strips material off a normal low-mass companion star. However, followup radio observations of 47 Tuc with the Australian Telescope National Facility showed that the radio emission was unusually strong for a white dwarf system, but typical of the level of radio emission produced by accreting black holes. The radio and X-ray emission suggested that the donor star is not a normal low-mass star but rather a compact, ultradense white dwarf star, and the researchers predicted that the white dwarf companion would orbit the black hole with a period of only about a half an hour. Using the exquisite spatial resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers were able to determine the variation of the X-ray emission from 47 Tuc X9 separate from other nearby cluster sources. They found the X-ray emission from X9 varied with a period of 28 minutes, almost exactly the period predicted in the radio study. The Chandra data also showed an excess of oxygen in the system, consistent with the composition of some white dwarfs. Evidently 47 Tuc X9 is a system in which a black hole pulls matter from some ultradense white dwarf. The short orbital period makes the white dwarf in X9 the closest star to a black hole that has yet been identified.

Solar energy for sustainability
Not surprisingly, a flat roof is the ideal place for a solar PV installation as it provides an unobstructed space that is perfectly positioned to catch as much sunlight as possible and the electrical production from the installed PV array converts your roof in to a small power plant.
BauderSOLAR can be installed on new build projects as well retrofitted to a current building, and the zero penetration fixing method guarantees the integrity of the waterproofing giving complete peace of mind with clear accountability from a single source. We can also assist you with access to funding for your rooftop solar panels, allowing you to lower your increasing energy costs with no capital expenditure.
Bauder BioSOLAR is a revolutionary solar PV mounting system for biodiverse or extensive green roofs. Although well suited to new build applications where environmentally friendly solutions are required to meet planning and BREEAM requirements; the BioSOLAR system can also be retrofitted on many existing roofs without the need for any structural modification to the building.

Former Spice Girls star Melanie Brown has given birth to a baby girl.
The singer-turned-TV personality delivered her third child in Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Thursday evening (01Sep11), with her husband Stephen Belafonte and 12-year-old daughter Phoenix at her side.
Melanie Brown, who is also mum to four-year-old daughter Angel, took to her Twitter.com page to announce her happy news, revealing she coped with labour much better than nervous Belafonte.
She 'Tweeted', "Finally our baby arrives, Stephen nearly passed out, Phoenix screamed, I laughed so hard the baby popped out!!! She is just sooo amazing!!"
A spokesperson for Brown added on Thursday, "This evening Melanie Brown and husband Stephen Belafonte welcomed their new baby girl in Los Angeles. This is the first child for Mel and Stephen and both mum and baby are happy, healthy and doing well."
Melanie Brown is the third ex-Spice Girl to become a mum this year (11) - Emma Bunton gave birth to a son, Tate, while Victoria Beckham is now mum to a daughter, Harper Seven.

I want to give my boyfriend oral sex, but he's embarrassed and won't let me. What should I do?
I'm 13 and so is my boyfriend. I know we shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff at this age but just a couple weeks ago we started getting a little more "touchy" and one thing led to another and he started "eating me out". Well I want to give him a blowjob but he's scared that I won't like "it" because he thinks it's small and he's embarrassed. What should I do?...
I trust him and I want him, but things are moving WAY too fast!
I'm only 14 and a freshmen and I've only been dating my boyfriend for about two weeks and we have been moving pretty quickly. We have been friends for a really long time and I really like and trust him but I feel like we are moving too quickly. He has already fingered me and I've given him a handjob, and he's been talking about sex....

When the Time Comes
Bothered by being "hot and bothered"
I'm 14 and am constantly hot and bothered and have constant erections. I've been like this for as long as I can remember even when I was little. I find I have to masturbate every 4 to 7 days or I will start to ache when I get a erection. I'm a little worried but I can't exactly discuss this with family or friends because it's embarrassing....
New Study Finds Long-Acting Contraceptives Much More Effective Than Pills (Especially for Those Under 21)
From Reuters, today:
A large real-life test of birth control methods found more U.S. women got pregnant while using short-acting methods such as pills, patches and vaginal rings — and the failure rate was highest when they were used by women under 21.
"We found that participants using oral contraceptive pills, a transdermal patch or a vaginal ring had a risk of contraceptive failure that was 20 times as high as the risk among those using long-acting reversible contraception," said the research team.
He (mostly) seems nice online: should I meet him in person?
I'm 13 and I really need some help. I have been talking to this guy for ages on my phone and texting him. We have Skyped, and I know he might be 'one of those older people who have random children acting for them and they have voice filters' etc, but he has Facebook and I know loads of people who know him, but I just haven't met him. He is really nice and we both wanna meet each other......
Teenage Rebellion: An Unschooling, Respectfully Parented Perspective
There seems to be the almost universal belief among North American parents (I'm sure this is a phenomena found elsewhere as well, but I'm just talking about what I've personally seen) that their kids, whether these are theoretical future children or actual kids, and whether they have yet to reach their teen years or not, will hate or at the very least dislike them. Teenagers hate their parents: everyone knows that.

Hi York Angels,
My name is Matt Roberts and we have a lot of things in common.
We're both investing in Canadian entrepreneurs. We've both put our hard earned money on the line. We both like to think we're mostly a help rather than a hindrance to building great companies.
You might think we do things a lot differently as I work in Venture Capital and you're in an Angel group. That's true, but on a more personal level I'd disagree as I have been an Angel.
I've invested in around 12 companies directly or more if you include my family's investments that I help manage. Since I started in my current role I no longer invest directly (conflicts and all) but I still advise young companies, I truly love that aspect of my life.
I'm a former entrepreneur, though I'm not sure how you can ever not be entrepreneurial. Many of the people in your group have also started their own firms or companies.
I've also raised money for startups, something you guys also help with – its hard work to get a seed round or a Series A – much tougher than most people would know unless they've tried. If you can help with that you're a huge contributor to the success of a company.
We both advise startups or aspiring entrepreneurs. I like to think I bring a lot to the table, people say I do – but maybe they're being nice, I'm sure your networks and experience are also helpful when investing or advising an entrepreneur.
So, as you can see, I think on the important points we have a lot in common.
I know Venture Capitalists are ragged on. I've done it (and sometimes still do) and I understand the frustration. So with that in mind I'd like to point out that York Angels is beginning to be spoken about with some of the same complaints. Are these fair, perhaps not. But we in the venture community do our best to listen to criticisms and either articulate why we disagree with them or respond to fix them, occasionally they don't even deserve a response. But we do it anyways, I think it's just good karma.
Here's some advice.
You shouldn't charge entrepreneurs to pitch to your network or submit a business plan. I know some other groups have done it in the past, but I thought we'd gotten past this in our particular corner of the universe. I'd encourage anyone hoping to raise money from you guys to refuse to pay these 'fees' or just avoid your group until you change the policy. I'd also drop you from any recommended source of funds if I ever maintained such a wirtten list, right now its in my head but you're off it.
I don't see what value your group gets or gives from such a miniscule amount of money and I know for the entrepreneur its a red flag. Why you thought this was a good idea is beyond me. What's probably more galling is that your group gets money from both a local government sponsored OCE and from Fed-dev… which means you're charging entrepreneurs AND taking government money under the guise of investing in those same entrepreneurs – seems a bit off side.
I know you try and add value with more services for entrepreneurs including a $200 course to help them pitch to angel groups. These services are also provided by local Centre's of Excellence suchas OCRI, Communitech, TechAlliance & MARS (etc) so I can't think why you should offer a similar service for money.

I have a bad habit of saving things for "the perfect time".
Dresses, shoes, a new piece of jewelry. I'll put it away and wait for a party, a wedding, a conference, some sort of event where I want to feel special. Sometimes, I have to wait longer than I like. But I'm trying to get over this affectation, because, frankly, I'm sick of postponing joy.
That's why I opened the Roussanne tonight.
When I first tried it at RoxyAnn Winery last October... well, read that blog post, and you'll see how a simple glass (or two) made me feel. It was magic. And when they sent me a bottle, I was really excited. I made grand plans. I put it away for the ultimate celebration.
And it sat on top of a shelf for nearly a year. I sold two novellas... but didn't open it. I sold two books to Germany... but didn't open it. I sold a YA... but didn't open it.
And you know what?
It's my birthday. I've had a lot to celebrate in the past year. And I'm 6,000 words into my next book, something entirely different from anything I've written before. I feel alive and awake and filled with fire. And I wanted to taste the Roussanne again.
Tomorrow, I'll buy some pears and cheese and sopressata and sit outside and taste everything slowly, thoughtfully, under an ultra-blue October sky. But now, I'm going to pound the keyboard and build words and sip, remembering the smell of wine in barrels and the warm glow of lights strung overhead and the feeling of being on an adventure that I don't want to end.
Today is my birthday, and the next year is going to be great.
Friends, let's rock this bitch.

|Network Name:
|AUN University Social Responsibility & Sustainability
|Short Name :
|Secretariat :
|Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
|Highlights :
In an attempt to further the development of USR&S, ASEAN University Network (AUN) has initiated the project to build the network of USR practitioners and consolidate the currently existing social responsibility in universities in ASEAN region. This initiative took shape in the form of the workshop at Burapha University in October 2010, later known as the Burapha Workshop. The Burapha Workshop realised substantial achievements by bringing in several distinguished USR&S practitioners from leading universities in ASEAN and Japan. With good practice, ideas and extensive experiences contributed by the participants, the event has been seen as a considerable success to further promote region-wide implementation of USR&S activities. Moreover, this project has shown the promising prospect of continuation and long-term implementation as the workshop saw considerable and inspiring commitment from participants to push forward this initiative into stronger cooperation which led to successful sequential event at UKM under 2nd AUN Regional Forum on USR&S.
AUN-USR&S Conceptual Framework
The AUN-USR&S Conceptual Framework is the core concept of the AUN-USR&S initiative. This concept is built on 4 integral parts as follows:
1. Teaching and Learning, Research and Academic Services: This part can also be regarded as the university's common mission. It includes how university deliver academic services utilising their expertise and calibrating the strategy of knowledge application for the social causes.
2. University's Governance and Administration: This focuses mainly on the organisational management and administration approaches. It addresses the internal and structural element of universities as the internal practices of USR&S.
3. Community Involvement: This component can be seen as the concept of many USR&S activities that usually engage with the community in the attempt to help equip a community to improve their standard of living, tackle local issues and help contribute to the positive impact in wider society.
4. Campus Life: This part is essentially about the livelihood of students and universities' personnel during their time in the universities. This internal practice is also one of the most important aspects of USR&S implementation since the basic and solid foundation must be built from within to ensure the successful manoeuvre when USR&S activities are being further carried out outside the campus.RECENT DEVELOPMENT
The 2nd AUN-USR&S Steering Committee Meeting will be hosted by UKM in June 2013. The Meeting will discuss and explore opportunity to extend network collaboration under the MOU between AUN USR&S@AsiaEngage with Engagement Australia

Ever since the concept of the Moto2 class was announced, there has been some tension between the Flammini brothers and the Dorna for stating the Moto2 racing class. The Flammini brothers run the World Supersport class, which is sanctioned to be the only Production 600cc World Championship Series by the FIM. Moto2 has been accused by some for possibly infringing on WSS's domain, and when the Permanent Committee, consisting of Dorna and the FIM, announced that Honda was to supply engines to the Moto2 class that were loosely based on Honda's road-going CBR600RR motor, this overlap seeemed even more pronounced. We believed at the time that there were substantial differences between the Moto2 class and the WSS production machines, and it would appear that Paolo and his brother Maurizio agree with us.
GPOne.com had the opportunity to ask Paolo Flammini directly whether he believed that the new Moto2 class as it currently stands conflicts with the World Supersport class run by him and his brother, and Flammini said the following in response:
"The philosophy in Moto2 is correct, in my opinion, because it does not conflict with our Supersport. It's a prototype motorcycle, at least the chassis is prototype and the engine is unique to the class: So it has no relation to our philosophy of motorcycles directly related to those freely available to the public, for use on the roads. In other words, the Honda CBR600RR races in the World Supersport series … and above all, it races against bikes from four other manufacturers."
Moto2 is not out of the woods yet, as Flammini made it clear that IMS would be keeping their options open for a bit longer, saying, "We may examine the new rules more carefully, to evaluate whether there are points which conflict with our rules and our contracts."

A few months ago Google announced a huge change to the way that marketers managed paid search with the launch of Enhanced Campaigns.
One of the biggest changes this involved was the move to group tablet and desktop bids together, so marketers are forced to make one bid for both devices.
In the past we've highlighted numerous studies which show that businesses shouldn't lump tablets and smartphones under one 'mobile' umbrella, but now Google has decided to do the opposite by claiming that tablets are essentially the same as desktops.
We recently canvassed opinion among PPC experts about Enhanced Campaigns with the general view being that despite Google's claim that it's trying to simplify the way AdWords works, it's actually a ploy to force marketers to increase their mobile spend.
So to find out whether there's any basis for combining paid search campaigns for desktop and tablets, here is a summary of seven reports that look at the differences and similarities between the two devices in various metrics including conversions, CTR, CPC and average order value.
And for more information on this topic checkout our new Paid Search Marketing (PPC) Best Practice Guide, which covers everything you need to know about paid search advertising.
Conversions are similar, but huge difference in average order value
- A report from Kenshoo that analysed the performance of different devices in paid search throughout 2012 found that tablets deliver a similar conversion rate to desktop, but a markedly different average order value.
- Conversion rates on tablet were 5.85%, which is similar to desktop (6.53%) but massively different to smartphone (1.59%).
- However the average order value achieved on desktop was £73.78, which is very similar to the AOV achieved by smartphones (£71.98). In comparison, tablet devices deliver a far higher AOV of £88.84.
- It's interesting to note that CPCs are also quite varied, at £0.36 on desktop compared to £0.25 on tablet and £0.17 on smartphone.
Tablets conversion rates are 1% lower than on desktop
- In December last year ecommerce agency Screen Pages published data from 16 of its clients which again served to highlight the big difference in conversion rates achieved by each device.
- Across 16 of its clients' websites the average conversion rate was 4.81% between 1 and 15 December.
- A decent proportion of the traffic comes from iPads (13.3%) and iPhones (6.9%), and the conversions on each device are remarkably varied.
- The conversion rate from desktops was 5.41% – 0.6% higher than the overall average – while iPads converted at a rate of 4.16%, more than 1% lower than desktop.
- Unsurprisingly, iPhones proved to have the lowest conversion rate at just 1.3%.
Maybe they are one and the same?
- Data from Monetate found that in Q2 2012 conversion rates on desktop and tablet were very similar at 3.34% and 3.17% respectively.
- Smartphones achieved a conversion rate of just 1.09%.
- Monetate's report analysed a random sample of more than 100m online shopping experiences using 'same store' data across each calendar quarter.
Conversion rates converge on Cyber Monday
- Though the data only looks at a brief snapshot of consumer behaviour, a report from Monetate found that on Cyber Monday in 2012 tablet conversion rates (5.84%) actually exceeded conversion rates on desktop (5.51%).
- The two figures are just 0.33% different, which lends weight to the argument that user behaviour on the devices is somewhat similar.
Tablet vs. traditional (desktop) conversion rates on Cyber Monday
Tablet shoppers spend 21% more
- A study by Adobe published in January 2012 - which does mean the results are somewhat dated – found that tablet visitors to ecommerce sites spend 20% more than desktop shoppers, and twice as much as those using smartphones.
- The AOV for tablets in 2011 was $123, compared to $102 for desktop and $80 for smartphones.
- The report, which took its data from 16.5bn visits to more than 150 retailers, also found that the average conversion rate via tablet was 2.3% compared with 2.5% for desktop, while mobile lags behind on 0.6%.
Smartphones achieve highest paid search CTR
- According to a report from Marin Software desktops actually achieve the lowest CTR in UK paid search at just 2.29%, compared to 3.93% on tablet and 5.87% on smartphone.
- And though the same is true of the Eurozone, the difference is less pronounced – smartphones achieved a CTR of 4.78%, compared to 4.48% on tablet and 3.1% on desktop.
- However the report also shows that CPCs on desktop and tablet are almost identical at £0.30 and £0.28 respectively, while smartphone CPCs are just £0.15.
- Marin's report shows that smartphones achieved a conversion rate of just 1.6% in the UK during 2012, compared to 2.6% on tablet and 4.1% on desktop.
Marketers stuck between a rock and a hard place
- Digital marketing firm Website Publicity raised its own concerns in a blog post that highlighted data from 10 of its ecommerce clients.
- It found that for each business included in the sample tablet conversion rates we noticeably lower than on desktop and suggested that this is also true of the rest of its client base.
- In the test sample one client's ads to tablets converted just 20% below desktop, but the overall average was a 40% lower conversion rate.
- The result is that marketers are left with two options: pay too much for tablet traffic, and see their return on ad spend (ROAS) decline, or bid lower for desktop traffic to maintain their ROAS and watch their ad positions, traffic, and overall sales decline.
In conclusion...
Going purely on the data from these surveys, it seems that in some instances there does appear to be a convergence between desktop and tablets in terms of CPCs and conversions, while others show that the two devices deliver wildly different results.
But the inconsistency found in these surveys only serves to underline the fact that Google's decision to combine PPC for desktop and tablet in Enhanced Campaigns makes it difficult for marketers to properly optimise their campaigns based on different user behaviours.
Comments (7)
In my opinion, Google is mistaken in believing that desktop users and tablet users behave the same and have the same intentions. Tablets are increasingly used as a mobile device, with free WiFi available in an ever-increasing number of locations and cheaper 3G/4G data packages as providers lower costs to remain competitive.
At some point, Google will surely have to separate tablets from desktops in AdWords or at least give users the option to target them independently?
When Google first announced these changes my initial reaction was that this was a play to increase mobile SEM revenue. Now that I've had an opportunity to drill down further, I'm convinced the intention is to actually increase desktop SEM revenue.
Here's why: All SEM campaigns are set to be shown on any device (desktop, mobile, tablet) by default. The legacy system allowed you to then pick and choose how to target. You can choose to keep it as is or select, desktop-only, mobile-only, etc.
The Enhanced Campaigns allow you to bid mobile devices up or down, but you are forced to include desktop/tablet users. So I (as well as other marketers) are no longer able to run mobile-only campaigns.
And while tablet users do use wi-fi in public places and some even have an actual data plan with them, the majority use their tablets online while at home. Mobile users are on-the-go which explains why over 60% of mobile searches lead to an action (call, walk in, etc) within an hour.
I agree with Emma North. There are no chance that the users of tablet and Desktop users behave are same. Both are equipment are developed for the different task and peoples are used them at the different work.
Great post David! Hi Emma - interesting input. However, in a personal and business POV (using ColibriTool.com) am thinking that Google is right (in a certain sort of way) to suggest that users who used both devices has the same objective and a slight difference in behavior.
For instance, if I wanted to search something, would definitely use the nearest and convenient tool (whether it be a PC or hand-held device). However, using the latter, will have to go for sites that are optimized for mobile devices. Basically, the intention is there, but I wouldn't go out my way to get a tablet if I'm already in front of the PC or turn on the desktop if I can use a smartphone
Finn_Jake, I don't disagree with you; I know I don't boot up the laptop or desktop in my home when I can use a tablet much quicker and more easily. But the same could be said for my smart phone; I'm probably more likely to use a mobile in my living room than a tablet or desktop. At the moment there is no way around that. I don't think this changes things regarding tablets on the go.
This is a great blog post with a lots of rich data. Rather than generalising, Summit is taking a category specific view for our retail clients. Dependent on product category metrics such as cpc's, average order values and conversion differ across all devices ... knowing this and all the other facts means advertisers are reluctant about the effects of Enhanced Campaigns.
Even though advertisers are not 100% behind all of the changes that Google are making, we need to embrace these as there is unlikely to be any changes to Enhanced Camapigns functionality before the end of June.
I do agree with Emma, user behaviour on a tablet is different from a desktop.
There is a similar pattern of user interaction on smartphone and tablet devices. The most popular times of the day both these devices are being used is morning and evening, on the commute, having breakfast and in front of the T.V.
It would be interesting to see the times of the day people have converted on all devices. Is it higher in the evening or in the mornings? Do people tend to research in the morning then purchase in the evening?

This is my build for Amumu. I always start off buying boots, always! Then I either buy Ninja Tabi or Mercury Treads, depends on the enemy champions. After that I go with Randium's Omen and then Frozen Heart, for the armor and cooldown reductions.(Always buy Omen and Frozen Heart!) After that I buy what I think is the best for that game.

The Simpsons Salutes Ke$ha, for Some Reason
Despite the music, it's pretty delightful.
We had naïvely hoped that after Ke$ha's disastrous SNL performance last month that our days of having to type her silly name might be numbered. Then this happened. Last night's episode of The Simpsons skipped its usual credits in favor of a version of Ke$ha's "TiK ToK," with Lisa Simpson, Groundskeeper Willie, and other Springfieldians lip-synching. Despite the music, it's pretty delightful. As far as we can tell, though, this is the first time Danny Elfman's theme has been replaced with a contemporary pop song, so it's slightly baffling that would have chosen this one to make history with.

CD Review
Make a deal with your child: you'll buy her that new album on iTunes if she listens to it all the way through...and then writes a thoughtful review on it. Her boosted analytical writing skills are more than worth the $9.99! She'll note the high and low points of the new CD, edit her review, and send a copy off to your local paper. Who knows? She may get her 15 minutes of fame!
What You Need:
- CD that your child wants
- CD player
- Computer and printer or pencil and paper
- Magazines and newspapers (optional)
What You Do:
- First, you and your child should look up some reviews of movies, books, or restaurants so you can discuss what analytical writing entails. Look at the similarities and differences in the way different reviews are written. What are the characteristics of a good review?
- Your child should listen to the CD multiple times and consider several questions while analyzing the music. Have her take notes on the following questions as she listens to the music:
- What genre of music does this artist fall into? What makes this artist distinct in this genre?
- How does this CD compare with past work of the artist?
- If there are lyrics, what are the lyrics saying in each song? What makes the songs meaningful to the listener?
- Who should listen to this CD/who would enjoy this music? Why?
- How would you sum up what you think of this CD in one word or sentence?
- Give specific examples of positive and negative parts of this CD.
- If you could change something about this CD, what would it be?
- After listening to the CD and taking notes, she can start writing the actual review. Encourage her to keep her audience in mind as she writes the review. For example, is she writing for the general audience of a newspaper or for a group of her peers? Additionally, she should try to write a review that includes some information about the artist and avoids using the first person.
- After she finishes writing her review, edit it and discuss its merits with her. Help her write up a final copy.
- Encourage her to look up the address for a local magazine and newspaper, and try to find out the editor's name.
- Have her consider sending the review to the address, in the hopes that she'll get published in print. For some immediate gratification, she also may decide to post the review online. Many websites such as Amazon.com and iTunes welcome customer reviews!

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
The one phrase that truly drives me insane, more even than "no fat chicks" or "the kitchen is closed," is this gem: Never trust something that bleeds for 3 days and doesn't die.
Amongst a certain set of Oklahoma rednecks, this is as common a bumper sticker slogan as "No Jap Crap" or Calvin pissing all over the Chevy logo/a Darwin fish/an Arab person. Menstruation is just as scary as homos and people from other countries!
I can still remember freaking out teenage boys by throwing wrapped, unused tampons at them on the school bus, watching them scatter and scream from a freaking piece of plastic! It was hilarious.
But those were boys, and at some point, we expect them to become men. And there is seriously no reason for a grown-ass man to act freaked out or disgusted by the biological process of menstruation.
Do you think we want to be this way? Do you think we woke up one day and said, "Man, I wish I could bleed all over myself for a few days every month"? No, it just HAPPENED and we had to start tying hoodies around our waists and sitting out of gym class and it was terrible. If anyone should be horrified by the whole thing, it's us.
If we, the bleeders, can learn to handle the situation rationally, I really think you can, too.
Which brings us, of course, to period sex. I don't need a dude to want to put it in me while I'm bleeding, and in fact I probably will not take him up on the offer. But I have found that men who are comfortable with the idea are generally the most mature, confident, sexy sex partners and all-around stellar people. Guys who are cool with period sex who may be reading this: You are champs and I salute you.
But wanting to jump in and splash around in there is not mandatory. Being able to maturely and soberly dicuss menstruation without cringing/cracking degrading jokes/using word like "Ew" is, as far as I'm concerned, a requirement for sexual eligibility in society.
So seriously, just man up and handle it. Pretend you're an EMT or in combat or something.
And go buy me a box of tampons. Super. No, make that Super Plus. And treat me as you would any other bleeding person -- with kindness.

Back in 2007, Antonio LaMartina was relaxing in Orange Beach, Ala., with his mom. She asked him to make her a frozen cocktail. By the time he went to the kitchen, made it and brought it out to the beach, the frozen beverage had melted. He saw his nephew drinking a Capri Sun, and was struck with an idea.
Why not make frozen cocktails to go?
"Let's put booze in a bag," Antonio LaMartina told his older brother Sal LaMartina.
Five years later, Cordina -- basically alcohol pouches to-go -- is made under the company the brothers and a close friend, Craig Cordes, created. Big Easy Blends is headquartered in New Orleans, the three men's hometown. The company first rolled out its products in multiple flavors in 2009, making $150,000 that year. Last year, the company made more than $4 million.
At first, Sal LaMartina was hesitant about the idea but decided it was worth trying. When the brothers and Cordes started, they did all the research on their own. They decided to create the to-go beverages with a lower alcohol content so they could be carried in grocery and pharmacy stores. Cordina has many flavors including the classic Marg-GO-rita and Pina-GO-lada. This year, the company hopes to introduce three new flavors and a holiday to-go eggnog.
"Consumers are really accepting," Cordes said. "When we first started, consumers were like, 'It's in a pouch. I'm not going to drink this.'"
The drinks are available for $1.99 a pouch at Walgreen's, Walmart and Winn-Dixie. They are distributed in 45 states and the founders have hopes of expanding internationally.
When they started out, the three founders bottled the product at night after their day jobs. Now, the company has two warehouses in the city totaling 65,000 feet. Large tanks hold the alcohol and blue barrels hold some of the other nonliquid ingredients. The sweet smells of wine and sugar fill the warehouse as workers case up the pouches, which are made in an assembly line with a machine filling around 300 pouches a minute. White boxes with the Cordina logo are stacked high, waiting to be carried to their final destination.
Almost everything that is produced in a day is shipped out the day it was created.
The company has almost 140 employees and is looking to hire more on the sales side. The founders want to create jobs in New Orleans and be able to provide for the city.
"It went from being an entrepreneurial company to a larger organization," Cordes said. "It's humbling from where we came from to where we are now."
Getting an assist
In 2010, the company participated in the Coulter Challenge put on by the Idea Village, a nonprofit organization that provides guidance and support to local entrepreneurs in New Orleans. Five companies were chosen to pitch their ideas to investors and the audience picked the winner of the challenge. Cordina and Big Easy Blends won.
"They gave us guidance on how to start a business," LaMartina said. "They got us a lot of industry contacts."
Winning the challenge gave the entrepreneurs the opportunity to travel to California and meet with investors from the West Coast. They realized they needed to grow the business and decrease the price of a pouch to get more investors on board. After expanding distribution, they were able to gather more money from investors.
Idea Village founder Tim Williamson said that the three men behind the company deserve all the credit and really sold their product to investors.
"We liked it, we liked them," Williamson said. "There's something about them that's inspirational. They saw an opportunity with very little experience."
Start-ups like Cordina are good for the city and help create jobs, Williamson said. New revenue and taxes for the community have an economic impact.
"Cordina could be that catalytic venture out of New Orleans that would validate we can grow great companies out of New Orleans," he said. "They are the poster boys for entrepreneurship in the city."
With the company's success and likelihood of growth, the founders are in a position to become civic leaders and future investors for the next generation of up-and-coming local entrepreneurs, Williamson said. The next few years will be a test of what to do with their success. Williamson anticipates that the founders will have to decide if they will stay in the business or sell the company to someone.
Recipe for success
Big Easy Blends has a strong support system behind them and people who believe in their product and company, which gives them access to advice for decisions that may come in the future.
Hugh Uhalt is a money manager from New Orleans and an investor in Big Easy Blends. He found out about the product through Idea Village and was impressed by the creators.
"They had their own skin in this," Uhalt said. "They had the focus, they had the drive. I saw their dedication and I figured they needed backing."
He continues to invest in the company and offer advice to Cordes and the LaMartina brothers. He believes that the company has tremendous growth potential.
"It doesn't happen overnight, it takes time," he said. "The product has gone from being a novelty into a growth market. More people will use the pouches more often."
Supporting ventures like this is important for the city and providing entrepreneurs with a strong ecosystem backing them up will only bring more businesses and talent to the city, Uhalt said.
"What drives this city is growth," he said. "We need more people doing this stuff."

MANY people may have wished their cars ran on something other than petrol during the recent fuel crisis.
|Wind of change: renewable energy sources are the future, says Merrill Lynch
Merrill Lynch, the giant American fund manager, believes that alternative energy sources are about to become a viable everyday reality. Now it is inviting adventurous technology investors to buy shares in its new fund.
The Merrill Lynch New Energy Technology Trust, which invests in companies producing renewable sources of energy, aims to take advantage of what the fund manager sees as a fast-growing industry. Companies producing everything from wind turbines to fuel cells for cars, and those providing software or components to alternative energy companies, are of interest to the trust.
Graham Birch, head of natural resources at Merrill Lynch, said: "This is a high-growth business. The total demand for energy will grow in line with global gross domestic product. This extra energy is not likely to be provided by coal. This is a driver behind the alternative energy market."
Another "driver" or motivation, he added, is the agreement of 160 countries to address greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, reached in Japan in 1997. Some American states, including California, New York, Massachusetts and Maine, have also introduced regulations requiring 10 per cent of all vehicles sold to have zero emissions by 2003.
Much of the green energy technology has existed for some time without achieving mass appeal. Wind farms have been controversial, attracting some criticism for being noisy. Merrill Lynch, however, is convinced that its time has come.
Mr Birch said: "Fuel cells have become more mainstream, and are coming down in price. As for the performance issue, the power depends on how big a fuel cell you have. It is the same as having a 1,000cc or a 3,000cc engine. Daimler-Chrysler is due to launch a fuel cell-powered car in 2004.
"The size of the new generations of wind turbines is astonishing - the blades are up to 40 metres long. But there is a trend towards putting them in more remote locations. Eventually, they will probably be about five miles offshore.
"You certainly don't want them close to residential areas. But a traditional power station is ugly. I don't think wind power is disadvantaged in terms of its visual impact."
The trust will invest in alternative energy companies worldwide, and can have up to 25 per cent of its holdings in unlisted companies, which may increase the investment risk. There are approximately 300 companies in the alternative energy sector, with 90 quoted. Another 10 companies are expected to come to the market in the next 12 months, said Merrill Lynch.
The new trust is open for subscriptions until October 17. It will have an initial fee of three per cent, and an annual management fee of one per cent a year, with the possibility of a performance-related fee on top if the manager outperforms a benchmark. This extra fee is capped at 1.5 per cent of net assets.
Kim North, consultant at independent financial adviser Calkin Pattinson, was keen on the trust, predicting that it would make good returns over the longer term. She said: "This is suitable for people who are high-risk investors. It is going to be a very volatile investment.
"It is not necessarily a short-term hold - you should be looking at three years plus. But I would happily recommend it to the right sort of investor."

When you visit London this year with the kids, it has lot to offer for children of all ages. There are many attractions for them like the London Eye, royal gardens and several iconic palaces. These places may not be too heavy on your wallet. Many attractions in London during the Olympics promotions this year are going to be free and fun.
When taking a break from the Olympics, you can take your kids to the Buckingham Palace, the Queen's dwelling. It will be open to tourists from 31st July which will be the third day of the Olympics. Apart from the Buckingham Palace, London has castles and stately homes for a promotional visit almost every week in a year.
Kids may lap up the gory stories and the history at the Tower of London and its vast collection of swords, armour suits and war axes. Little girls may enjoy the Princess of Wales Exhibition at Kensington Palace where the tragic life story of Princess Diana will be told along with the exhibits of several of her famous dresses.
There is enchantment for children of all ages at Henry VIII's Tudor Palace at Hampton Court where they will be thrilled by the medieval maze and the scintillating gardens. There are also many interesting family attractions by the Thames River. The London Eye is a Ferris wheel which is over four hundred feet high, right across the Houses of Parliament. The wheel moves rather slowly and the kids can hop on or off any time. The view of London City from its highest point is exhilarating.
The British Museum is another gallery with invaluable exhibits. It is probably the most interesting museum in the world. Hyde Park has been selected as the place to host the triathlon and the ten-kilometre open-water swimming event at the Olympics this year.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia talks about the challenges in a world of 7 billion people. Video: UNFPA Indonesia
Nearly 30 per cent of Lao women who want to avoid pregnancy are not using a family planning method. To help close this gap, a new initiative uses villagers to distribute contraceptives in communities that are far from regular health services.
As the world's population pushes towards 7 billion, its second most populous country India continues to face rapid rural to urban migration, as millions of people continue to seek better economic opportunities in its already over-populated cities.
The world's population will top seven billion people in 31 October 2011. This unique moment in human history represents both an achievement and a challenge, and will have an impact on every single person on the planet, particularly in the developing countries of Asia.

Efforts are under way to make childbirth safer in Bangladesh, by training midwives, upgrading facilities and providing lifesaving care closer to where women live. Empowering women to use the services is another challenge.
UNFPA puts every effort into breaking the silence and ensuring that the voices of women are heard. One strategy is to engage men -- policy makers, parents and young boys -- in discourse about the dynamics and consequences of violence. Video: UNFPA Viet Nam
In Nepal, UNFPA and the Women's Rehabilitation Centre (WOREC) are providing treatment for women suffering from obstetric fistula and spreading the word that this debilitating injury can, in most cases, be prevented by avoiding early pregnancy and childbirth and giving birth with a skilled attendant.

Ricardo Cardoso is a Faculty Fellow in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. He earned his doctorate in city and regional planning from the University of California Berkeley and he holds a master's degree in urban development planning from University College London and a civil engineering degree from the University of Porto. Ricardo works on the politics of development and change in African cities with a focus on urban and planning theory. He also does research on the Portuguese planning system and he is interested in the fields of transnational urbanism and globalization studies. In his dissertation, "The Crude Urban Revolution: Land Markets, Planning Forms and the Making of a New Luanda", an in-depth study of two decades of social, spatial, and institutional change in the capital city of Angola, Ricardo examines critical intersections between development trajectories, petroleum extraction, and urbanization on the African continent. At NYU, he is embarking on a new project focusing on Brazilian modes of city-making in contemporary Angola. Shifting the vantage point of his research to look at Luanda from Brazil, Ricardo is now studying the processes by which forms of urbanism have been traveling across the Southern Atlantic.

Higham - Charles Dickens Walk is a 9.7 kilometer loop trail located near Higham, England, United Kingdom. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for walking. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
Dickens was a dedicated walker - 12 miles was an average daily walk. He would walk in all weathers, turning ideas over in his mind. This walk includes places & landmarks that Dickens would have known well. Charles John Huffam Dickens was born in Portsmouth on the 7th of February 1812 to John and Elizabeth Dickens, the 2nd of 8 children. John was a pay clerk in the Royal Navy and the family moved with his job, coming to Chatham when Charles was 5 years old. Dickens was so inspired by what he found in Kent that he returned here for the last years of his life. Many people and places in his novels have Kentish roots. The marshland around this area lent itself to the vivid opening of Great Expectations.

Port Austin Reef Light
"Port Austin, Michigan"
Built: 1878
"The Port Austin Reef extends into Lake Huron off the tip of Michigan's 'thumb'. The dangers of this reef are made obvious by the several shipwrecks that sit at the bottom of the reef in the area near the lighthouse, which sits about two miles from the mainland. The light was modified to this present structure in 1899. It was abandoned by the Coast Guard in 1953 and major deterioration had begun as early as 1958. Restoration of the light began in 1984 by the Port Austin Reef Light Association and is still underway today. (Photo 1996, Trip #24)"

Service Above Self.
Interact is an international organization of service that fosters leadership and responsible citizenship, and promotes international understanding and peace. Interact is a club for youth ages 12-18 who want to connect with others in their community or school. Interact club members have fun while carrying out service projects and learning about the world. The name "Interact" was created by combining the words "international" and "action." Interact clubs are sponsored by Rotary Clubs and Interact clubs organize at least two service projects a year: one that benefits their community and one that encourages international understanding. While Interact clubs receive guidance from individual Rotary Clubs, they govern and support themselves and are included in Rotary International's "Youth Services" Avenue of Service.

Municipal storm-sewer sludge is a threat to water, fish and plants in Connecticut and should no longer be dumped at unlined landfills, a Connecticut Fund for the Environment study says.
The environmental group took advantage of an unusual occasion to conduct its study. Muck from storm sewers in Hartford's South End was dumped illegally at Cedar Hill Cemetery in November. Three chemists examined it; two recommended it be dumped at a landfill, while the third classified it as hazardous waste. The recommendations led the state Department of Environmental Protection to approve dumping the muck at the Hartford landfill next to the Connecticut River.
