Ultimately this will be a hybrid forum RP using the FATE mechanics. The mechanics are rather light, but they do provide some structure for character building and roleplay, which is nice because I feel the main thing that drags down freeform RPs is people doing things they probably shouldn't be able to do, and FATE's main advantage is that it gives you rules around doing incredibly awesome things or even adding your own touches to the story... every once in awhile. Instead of in every post. Because we are using FATE, this will be a bit slower and possibly a bit more GM oriented than some RPs in the past, but I will try to give you situations where you don't have to wait for my confirmation every post.
What you need:
~A way to roll 6 sided dice. I like http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm, though it's a bit more complicated than you need. Random.org works too. We'll be using the honor system here because we're all mature adults... well, most of us anyway. If you have a problem with the honor system we could use Roll20 so I can check that rolls are valid, but I don't want to force people to sign up for a site to play.
~ A word processor, notepad, some sort of system to keep track of your character's few vital statistics and Fate Points. The numbers are low, generally 2 to 4 for each stat, so yeah.
~ Enough time to check in at least once or twice a day and post. This is important so that we can go at a sane click.
Yeah, that's it.
~A character sheet. I'll be providing a text based form, but if you want to look up and download the actual sheet, I find that is always helpful for visualizing the game.
~The FATE Core book. It's a free download, and reading it will always help. However, the game is honestly so simple that this is optional. And there's some stuff that I might even ignore or change around a bit. But if anything confuses you, or you want a head start on character creation, this is where to go.
How the Game Will Work
First, we'll determine a setting and the premise of the setting. That's this topic. (Yeah, there's rules for group setting creation in the book!) Then, knowing what the game will actually be about, we'll create characters in a seperate topic. Finally, we'll start playing in the last topic.
Here's how I envision play- this is technically a tabletop game, so it'll be slightly different than a 100% freeform RP because I'm going to be the storyteller, and give you guys things to do and situations to overcome. So, I give you a scenario, you react to it, etc. Occasionally I'll tell you to make a roll if you want to do certain actions, you roll, I tell you the level of success or failure, maybe add in a little bit of detail of my own, and then you can respond to that result... or just say "yep that happened" and continue on. If you fail, you might get hurt. If you get hurt too much, you might suffer a Consequence, which will be defined based on situation.
There's one other mechanic you should know about. Basically, there's Fate Points that you can use when Stuff is Happening and you want a boost to rolls, or the ability to reroll, or just the go-ahead to do something really cool. As long as you can justify it by linking it to your character's Aspects (Aspects are important character traits, I will explain what these are in more detail when we create characters), you can then spend a Fate Point to do that thing. You can also spend a FATE point when you want to bring in a story element that otherwise you might have to ask the GM about, like saying "oh hey look there's an path deeper into the dungeon here". (just don't abuse this, lol). Basically, FATE points are your currency for doing otherwise gamebreaking things. You start with 3 and you'll get more at a pretty good click. Just say you're spending them at the beginning of the post.
This might seem a little mechanic heavy, but do keep in mind that I've basically just explained the entire game in a nutshell. Sure, I skipped a few details here and there, and yes there's a few more mechanics involved with character creation. Still, this should be a pretty loose game, which makes it pretty easy for forum play, I'd think.
The game will be a play-by-post game, and it might be slightly slow because of timezones and such. This is better than trying to get all our seperate time zones into a game at the same time. I will attempt to define certain times each day that I will be available on the IRC, so you can know that I'll be around during those times if you plan on doing anything dramatic.
So what now?
Well, first, if you're interested, feel free to sign up. Due to the nature of the game, I'm looking from anywhere from 3 to 8 players (8 might be a bit much, but I think if it's forum based I can handle it, and I don't want to turn down anyone if I can avoid it.
Since I haven't yet posted the exact character creation rules, I will understand if you see them and withdraw your sign up. Ideally this won't happen but nevertheless I do understand >_>
Second, I need some details on what we're going to play. If you have any particular ideas on what you'd like to play, I'd be happy if you could chime in on these factors:
Basic Setting: Anything from modern day to fantasy, and anything between.Other ideas: Steampunk, Modern Fantasy, Sci Fi, etc. I'd like everyone to at least chime in on this bit.
Scale: Would you prefer an epic scale, traveling the world, fighting world-changing events? Or would you like something smaller scaled, like surviving in a hostile town?
Issues: More detailed conflicts that the players might face. Are they going to fight a mob boss? A dark lord? An alliance of superpowered soccer moms? Or maybe they need to just pass the most difficult class in the school. Issues are basically the actual premise of the game.
Those three are the main things needed for a game, any other details are also appreciated.
You could also just point to someone else's ideas and say "hey that's good". Feel free to object to someone else's ideas as well, I don't want to run a game that certain players just wouldn't have fun in.
If I don't get any interesting ideas and people are generally ambivalent to picking a setting, we're just going to do generic fantasy. But if you want to do something more interesting than that, now is the time to make suggestions!
((Finally, this is an experimental game. If this doesn't work, I'll host a 100% freeform RP instead. Though the stuff about picking the setting stands, I don't have any preferences to what we type of game we play.))
Dice Rolls in FATE
So whenever you have to roll something, you roll 4 6 sided dice. If you get a 1 or 2, that's a -1( or just a "minus", if it's easier to think of it that way.). If you get a 3 or 4, that's a 0. If you get a 5 or 6, that's a +1 (or just a "plus"). Then you add up the results. That should give you anywhere from -4 (all 1s or 2s) to +4 (all 5s or 6s). Then you add to that number the corresponding "Skill", and any other bonuses you've got from "stunts" or "aspects".
So if you got a 0, -1, +1, and +1, you'd have a total of +1, which is considered fair. But if you were rolling a skill that you're trained in at a +2 level, that would be a +3 total, which is pretty awesome.
Alternatively, you roll a 0, -1, -1, -1. That's a -3, and even with all your training you only bring it up to a -1. But then you can decide that's balls, and that you're going to be cooler than that because this check relates to your character in some way, and you "invoke an aspect" to play a fate point. You then can add another +2 from the Fate point to get a +1 in total. Not bad for one of the worst dice rolls possible.
So yeah. Roll 4 6 sided dice, add up the result according to the standard above, add bonuses from skills (and stunts, but we'll talk about those later), and if you can justify it maybe spend a fate point.
Sometime you'll be rolling against an arbitrary DC, other times you'll be rolling against an enemy's rolls. But that's gameplay in a nutshell. There's one more major thing I want to go into, and that's exactly what an Aspect is and you use them, but I'm going to do that in the character creation topic.
OK guys, I apologize, one more bit of rules, this time about FATE POINTS. This is mostly all stuff I've mentioned before, but I wanted to be explicit and have it all in one place. Also, mentioning compels for the first time, which is a great feature, but also a box of worms, which is why I've waited so long to bring it up.
Fate Points
Fate Points are basically wildcards that your characters can use to truly excel in specific situations. You start with 3, and you will gain FATE points for reaching major points in the story, accomplishing major goals, accepting Compels (see the end of this post), and anything else that I find worth rewarding.
Invoking an Aspect
This is the numerical, mechanical way to use a Fate Point. Basically, when making a skill check, you can get a +2 boost to your roll, IF you can explain how it's relevant to your character's aspects or the situational aspects.
Example: You've got "Hatred of Midgets". You are fighting a Midget. You use a FATE point to give yourself a +2 to Fight that midget, because he really pisses you off. ((Disclaimer: This is just an example, please do not hate on midgets and beat them up.))
Example: It's rainy. Situational aspect is "Low Visibility". Normally this would be a problem for you, but you can also use it to your advantage by spending a FATE point and using it to enhance your sneak roll. That would represent going out of the way to use the rainy environment to your advantage while sneaking.
Declaring a story detail
Now, this is where things get interesting. Well, I'll just start by actually pulling out the relevant page.
Paying for Stunts
Some stunts are powerful and require an active FATE point to be payed to use them. I think we've covered that pretty well.
GM Fiat
If you're asking for a favor, I may very well say "hey bro, spend a FATE point and you can do that". Or I may not. Depends on the request. But again, FATE points are a wildcard and a bargaining chip. For example, asking me to throw certain vehicles or equipment your way, I'm totally willing to do so if you're willing to spend a FATE point for it!
Ok, there's one more important FATE concept that I haven't talked about yet, mostly because they're really tricky to adapt to the forum setting. But basically, something particularly bad happens to you and you get a FATE point out of it to use later.
For example, I might PM you "hey do you want to fall into this pit, even though you passed your notice check? I'll give you a FATE point".
And you can say "hell yeah sweet FATE point!" or "hell no I don't know what's down there". You might even say "wait a second... just how deep is the pit?"
So that part is something you don't have to concern yourself with. It's mostly on my end. HOWEVER, there's one other thing to be aware of:
You have the right to suggest a compel for your character. You can ask me "Hey can I fall into this trap even though I passed this check with flying colors?" and I will probably say "Sure" and give you a FATE point. This is completely 100% optional, but it is a way to get FATE points, as well as enhance the drama of the story.
The main take-away here really is that FATE points (and Compels) can be used to change the story in unexpected ways. There's a lot of room for creativity here, so don't be afraid to ask.
As far as I know, there's only one segment of rules I need to introduce, and that's Combat. Because there is a structure to combat, and I think it's best just to explain when we get there. It's not that hard though, and is mostly just a variation on the standard mechanics.

WHEN I was a child growing up in the Midwestern United States, I looked forward to the weekend each December when my mother would make a batch of dough for sugar cookies.
Now I make these same cookies with my own children, cutting the chilled dough in the shapes of angels and bells, stockings and hearts, along with the odd cow, and spreading them with the same icing: a cup of confectioner's sugar and a few teaspoons of boiling water, tinted turquoise, rose, and grass green.
We also bake mandelmusslor, the almond tarts that my husband's Swedish grandmother made each Christmas. These are golden, buttery cookies with fluted edges, thick but easily broken, suffused with a delicate almond flavor.
While they can be eaten plain, they taste even better when the center is filled with whipped cream and a dollop of amber-colored cloudberry or ruby-red strawberry jam. I serve these on a platter of translucent apricot-colored glass, usually on Christmas Eve.
The first time I tasted these almond tarts was in December 1978, when my not-yet husband, Carl, and I were in Stockholm visiting his father, Arne. Few cars were on the road that Christmas Eve morning as the three of us drove across town to Reimersholm and parked on the quiet street where Arne's mother, Ingrid, lived.
Ingrid spoke no English, although she may have understood a little. I'd had only 10 weeks of Swedish classes, so our conversation was limited. But the warm welcome she extended to me, her grandson's American girlfriend, did not require translation.
I have only a few snapshots from that morning. Eight of us sat in the living room, around the dining table: Arne; Carl and I; Ingrid and her other son, Bosse; his wife, Ebba; and their two grown children, Margareta and Hans.
Although that winter was the coldest in 60 years, the sun was streaming in the window. A small Christmas tree decorated with Swedish flags, woven straw hearts, and electric candles stood in the corner. In the background was an antique Karl Johan sofa with a curved wooden frame and green striped upholstery and armchairs covered in orange and beige plaid wool.
A thermos was on the table, along with delicate china cups and saucers. I'm sure there were other sweets, perhaps a braided length of saffron bread studded with raisins or heart-shaped gingersnaps, but the only dessert I remember from that day was the piece de resistance, the almond tarts.
Ingrid offered me the recipe, which I copied down and took back to California. I eagerly purchased a dozen fluted tart pans, some diamond-shaped, others oval. But the first time I tried out Ingrid's recipe, the proportions seemed off; I had to keep adding flour to make the dough stiff.
And apparently I didn't grease the pans well enough, because the tarts stuck, only to crumble when forcefully evicted.
Perhaps the tarts would have turned out better if I had followed Ingrid's instructions more closely.
In addition to the 200 grams of peeled almonds, the recipe called for 10 to 12 bitter almonds, the fruit of the pink-blossomed almond tree. "Do not leave out the bitter almonds," Ingrid had told me. But while bitter almonds are sold in small bags and as an extract in nearly every grocery store in Sweden, I have never seen them in the US.
Eventually, I located another recipe that works better with American ingredients.
In olden times, Swedish housewives were expected to bake a minimum of seven different kinds of cookies for the holidays.
Of the many varieties of Swedish cookies, I am particularly partial to chokoladbiskvi, a macaroon cookie spread with a layer of chocolate butter cream, then topped with a thin coating of melted chocolate.
Carl's favorite is drommar, or dreams, aptly named morsels whose sweetness is cut by hjorthornssalt, or ammonium carbonate.
But only almond tarts have become synonymous with Christmas. For that Christmas in Sweden was the first and last time that we were all together.
Now the Karl Johan rococo sofa holds court in our living room, attended by the two armchairs and three side chairs that Carl inherited from his grandmother and his father's mahogany secretary.
Someday our two children, Michael Arne and Christina Ingrid, may come to own these tangible pieces of memory that once belonged to their namesakes, along with my collection of cookie cutters, fluted-edge tart pans, and Christmas recipes.

Gold Derby nuggets: Banned 'Hurt Locker' producer's Oscars speech | Stone & Hammond on 'Avatar' loss | Alec Baldwin on Oscars gig
• Eugene Hernandez does a crackerjack job reporting on how banned "Hurt Locker" producer Nicolas Chartier spent Oscar Sunday. He was feted by 300 people gathered at the Malibu home of reality TV/film producer Mike Fleiss, who co-hosted with WME Global chief Graham Taylor and his producer wife Lynnette Howell ("Half Nelson"). As Eugene writes, "The crowd was clearly biased in favor of 'The Hurt Locker' and when the movie won the final award of the night, an uproar was unleashed. Chartier silenced the crowd to listen to the televised speeches and then stepped onto a footstool for his own acceptance. Someone handed him a small plastic statue that looked a bit like an Oscar." Eugene's thorough report also includes video of the "acceptance" speech, including this soundbite: "It's about the movies. This is what we live for, to tell stories, to make people laugh and cry. To entertain and sometimes to make art." INDIE WIRE
• As Steve Krakauer reports, documentary short Oscar winner Roger Ross Williams ("Music for Prudence" got interrupted again on "Larry King Live" Monday night. After a brief interview in which he spoke about the film's producer -- Elinor Burkett -- who cut short his acceptance onstage at the Oscars Sunday, Williams was to give his complete speech but time ran out and he was pre-empted, this time by "Anderson Cooper 360." MEDIAITE
• David Letterman made merry with this "Kanye" moment on Monday's "Late Show." As Steve Itzkoff writes, "Mr. Letterman was performing a set of jokes about the unending Oscars telecast when he, too, was halted by a protester who demanded, 'Let the woman talk!' " Video of these hijinks is included in the write-up. NEW YORK TIMES
• Steven Zeitchik fills us in on what we can expect next from this year's crop of Oscar champs. Jeff Bridges ("Crazy Heart") is shooting "True Grit" while Christoph Waltz ("Inglourious Basterds") has "Green Hornet," in the can with both films due out in December. Sandra Bullock ("The Blind Side") has nothing lined up and Mo'Nique is busy with her BET talker. Two-time winner Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") turned down the Spider-Man reboot and "her next project will likely be her reteaming with Mark Boal on 'Triple Frontier.' The Paramount film is an adventure story set on the border of several South American counties." 24 FRAMES
• Sasha Stone weighs in on why "Avatar" lost the best picture race at the Oscars. As Sasha says, "why not be happy with what 'Avatar' is, not what it isn't. It isn't an Oscar movie, not with that screenplay. It only had to be a little better, a little less cliched. A little less 'Pocahontas' and 'Dances with Wolves' and a little more innovative in terms of STORY, not just in terms of effects. Most of the members of the Academy are actors, writers and directors. Is it that much of a surprise that they would pick A) the film that moved them the most, and B) the film they wanted to make the most? How many of them really want their future to be wrapped up in 3-D technology, motion-capture actors?" AWARDS DAILY
• For Pete Hammond, "If ever there was a question in my mind as to why 'Avatar' probably had no realistic chance of taking the best picture Academy Award, it was answered at the Oscars viewing party, "Night Of 100 Stars," I covered Sunday night at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It was the actors branch, dummy. With 1,205 members, three times as many as any other peer group in the academy, they are collectively a powerful voice and if you don't have them behind you, your best- picture chances are slim." NOTES ON A SEASON
• "Up in the Air" was shut out of Sunday's Oscars, despite six nominations including a best picture bid. One of the deleted scenes from the film has been released by Paramount to promote Tuesday's DVD release. In the scene, the inveterate traveler played by best actor nominee George Clooney dreams of wandering home in an astronaut suit as Ricky Nelson singing "Lonesome Town" plays in the background. ZAP2IT
• Emma Rosenblum talks to the Emmy-winning Sherri Shepherd ("The View") about her gig Sunday as one of three hosts of the frenetic 30-minute Oscars pre-show. Reveals Sherri, "I love Taylor Lautner, but I couldn't ask him too many questions. We had a lot of red tape and protocol from ABC, and they told me I couldn't ask Taylor about the 'Twilight' sequel or his body. And I said, 'Then what am I going to talk to him about?!' He's a big boy, he could handle it." NEW YORK
• Oscars co-host Alec Baldwin penned a post with his thoughts on the gig. "Hosting the show is an odd experience because you're out there, but it isn't about you. Steve Martin and I worked rather hard, along with the writers and producers, to make sure our contribution did not detract from the primary purpose of the evening, honoring the highest achievements in film. We tell some jokes and show some clips, but the night belongs to the great talent in that room." HUFFINGTON POST
• Brian Moylan solves 10 mysteries of the Oscars, including this one: "Why the hell was there street dancing at the Oscars?" As Brian writes, "a troupe of television dancers were given the stage to do strange hip-hop contortions to the classically-influenced music of the Best Score nominees. We solved how it happened -- director Adam Shankman who is a choreographer and TV dance show host -- but we will forever be asking why. Why, why, why?" GAWKER
• And if you are still in need of an Oscars fix, surf over to the telecast's official website for clips from the red carpet, backstage and VIP room, as well as speeches from the winners into the "thank you" cam. Best actor champ Jeff Bridges ("Crazy Heart") had so many people to thank that his speech is split up into five parts. OSCARS

Palestinians are front and center as a popular Israeli film festival unveils a spinoff this weekend in Bay Ridge.
From Nov. 19-21, the Alpine Cinema will host the Palestinian-centric offshoot of the Other Israel Film Festival, featuring four films made by up-and-coming filmmakers.
The Other Israel fest — whose name refers to minorities within Israeli society — has always been diverse, but this is the first time that organizers have left Manhattan with the specific goal of highlighting Palestinian films. And the four films in question represent a radical departure from the stone throwing, bulldozing, and terror-tarnished depictions in the media, instead capturing people on an intimate level.
"The politics are really not interesting to us," said Zabar. "We're interested in art for social change. We want personal films that touch people and take them out of the news mentality."
With its large Arab-American population, Bay Ridge was a logical choice for the offshoot mini-festival, said founder Carole Zabar and executive director Isaac Zablocki.
"We chose Bay Ridge because that's where a lot of Palestinians are and that's where they're going to feel more comfortable going out to see these films," said Zablocki.
If all goes to plan, the two organizers hope to make the Palestinian Spotlight an annual event — which is good news for film fans.
"What's going on right now in the Middle East is so awful. These films offer a bit of hope," said Zabar. "This isn't the Israel of the travelogues or headlines, it's about people's lives and their hearts."
The Other Israel Film Festival at Alpine Cinema [6817 Fifth Ave. between Bay Ridge Avenue and 68th Street in Bay Ridge, (718) 748-4200], Nov. 19-21. Tickets $11, $5 for students. For info, visit www.palestinianspotlight.org.

WFM as a value-add to your organization: This tip originally appeared on SWPP and comes from one of their members, Scott Engman of Optum.
Many people have told me that Workforce Management is a cost center. There are some that don't use that language, but most who use traditional terminology would agree that WFM isn't a profit center — we don't directly produce any revenue.
We do, however, add VALUE to our organization and to our organization's customers. I think we all intuitively understand that, but there are folks around us who may not. Help them.
Keep track of your value. Tell people about the value you provide. Keep a log of the questions you answer every day. Quantify the problems you solve in terms real dollars saved (through early release, proactive PTO planning, etc.), cost avoidance (dollars the company would have spent if not for our information, i.e., cancelled training classes or reduced overtime due to optimized schedules or cross training), or opportunity costs (i.e., customer dissatisfaction or customers lost as a result of not spending or investing in service).
If you were to keep a running tally of the value you add to the company, there is no doubt it would be a staggering figure. Being able to show this to others is well worth the effort.
Scott may be reached at [email protected] .

Hunters throughout the country need licenses, permits and, usually, permission from landowners in order to hunt deer, upland or waterfowl birds, small game and other big game species.
We apply for tags and special permits, get licenses or permits for public land hunting, and have to undergo background checks to purchase rifles and handguns for hunting, sport shooting or personal use.
What if you had to undergo a background check just to purchase ammunition and then were told that you only could buy a specific, small amount? Even if you were going to the range for a day of sighting in a rifle or handgun before going hunting, you might only be able to buy a small amount for the range time and then have to go through all the rigamarole for your hunting trip.
That's what is being proposed in California. No surprise there, eh? Check out this press release about the situation:
In June, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee voted to pass SB 53, anti-sportsman legislation that would establish a new government-run permitting system to regulate the purchase and sale of ammunition in the state.
Now, SB 53 has moved to the Assembly Floor where it could be called up for a vote at any time.
If passed, SB 53 would require virtually anyone wishing to obtain ammo used for any purpose, even hunting and target shooting, to undergo a background check and obtain approval from the State of California.
SB 53 would create a state-run database of individuals approved to purchase ammunition and authorize the California Department of Justice to create an ammunition purchase permit program requiring law abiding citizens to register and pay a fee every two years, simply for acquiring common items like shotgun shells or rifle ammo. Furthermore, SB 53 would harm small businesses and limit consumer choice by banning mail-order and internet ammunition transactions in California.
Wildlife could also suffer unintended consequences if SB 53 is signed into law. By unnecessarily making it more difficult and expensive for California's sportsmen and women to enjoy hunting and recreational shooting, SB 53 represents a direct threat to the American System of Conservation Funding. As a component of this system, revenue generated from dedicated taxes on ammunition is used to support state wildlife conservation agencies such as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. In addition to interfering with access to and continuation of our outdoor traditions, SB 53 could ultimately result in less funding for the management of the Golden State's public wildlife resources.

NEW DELHI: Hindu daily Dainik Jagran tops the list of most-read publications in India, with an average issue readership (AIR) of 15,526,000, while the Times of India is the only English-language paper to make the top ten with an AIR less than half that, according to the latest Indian Readership Survey (IRS).
The Media Research Users Council, which publishes the survey, also announced that the IRS methodology had been overhauled with a shorter interview length and the use of new technology to capture data so that the resulting figures were "much more robust".
Ravi Rao, MRUC chairman, cautioned that the data was not comparable with previous surveys "as this data is unique and very different" and advised comparisons with survey findings due in the next quarter.
The other titles in the top ten included Hindustan, Dainik Bhaskar, Malayala Manorama, Daily Thanthi, Rajasthan Patrika, Amar Ujala, Mathrubhumi and Lokmat.
In the magazine sector, Malayalam fortnightly Vanitha headed the list with an AIR of 2,762,000, followed by the English version of India Today (AIR 1,531,000).
The survey also put the figures in a wider context, noting that TV remained the dominant medium, consumed by 603m, compared to 282m for print (figures for other media were 84m for radio, 51m for the internet and 76m for cinema).
A breakdown of the country's demographic profile revealed that the rich and middle classes were expanding, the AB groups accounting for 26% of the populace and the C1C2s a further 20%.
And while 27% of consumers were illiterate, almost two thirds (63%) had completed school and a further 10% were graduates.
Across the country just 9% owned a PC or laptop, the same proportion as had a washing machine. Two-wheelers were the most widely possessed consumer durable, owned by 23%, followed by refrigerators, owned by 21%.
Firstpost noted that publishers, advertisers and agencies would be grateful to have data for at least one major medium, as TV faced months without any ratings information as new measurement guidelines issued by the government were worked through.

France slipped into recession in the first quarter of 2013, official data showed on Wednesday, but there was confusion over whether it was the country's second or third recession in the last five years.
The Financial Times, The Guardian and Bloomberg all called it a "triple-dip", but Reuters didn't. We called it a triple dip on twitter, but if you look at the chart below, we stand corrected. France is actually in a double-dip recession.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
After a six-day rally, the major indexes calmed down today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) closed lower by one point, or 0.01%, and now sits at 16,478. The other major indexes didn't perform any better as the S&P 500 lost 0.03%, and the Nasdaq closed off by 0.25%. Without a major catalyst to move stocks higher today, it seemed investors were content taking the day easy after the major indexes had rallied the previous six sessions. With limited economic data being released today, individual stocks moved largely on their own news or industry-wide events. Let's take a look at a few of today's losers that put downward pressure on the major indexes.
Shares of the social networking site Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) ended the day off by more than 13% today. The move came after the stock was downgraded by analyst at Macquarie Securities. The analyst believes the stock was overvalued heading into today, and lowered the rating from neutral to underperform. Furthermore, the firm's price target of $46 remained the same, and Ben Schachter, the analyst, stated that he didn't feel anything fundamental has changed with the company recently to cause the share price to rally like it has. Heading into today, Twitter was up more than 22% this week alone, which really consisted of two-and-a-half days of trading. Investors need to be careful with this one, as it would have seemed that, heading into today, the bullish momentum had taken over and the stock was trading purely on speculation.
Shares of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) also lost ground today, closing down 3.97% on very little news. Shares are up more than 122% during the past 52 weeks, which easily beats the Dow's 25% return, or the S&P 500's 31% gain. But today's decline could have been a combination of investors closing out the position before the end of the year, and a side effect from the Twitter move. Sometimes, traders, not investors, will sell competitors or a whole industry when one company is having a bad day.
Outside the social media world, shares of Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) traded lower by 3.05%. The fall comes after the company had a computer glitch yesterday morning for a few hours, during which time, customers could book airline tickets for extremely cheap rates. One customer got a roundtrip ticket to Hawaii for $6.99; another got a $12.83 first-class ticket from Oklahoma City to St. Louis; while another customer got a $132 ticket from Houston to San Francisco -- which is not a great price until you consider that it's a first class ticket. The airline has not reported how many tickets were sold, and what it ultimately will cost the company, but investors seem to believe that it will show up on the quarterly statement. This is a short-term problem, and current shareholders shouldn't sell due to this issue.

What? Diana O'Brien has taken the reins as the first CMO of Deloitte after working for the company since 1985.
So what? O'Brien's role has evolved. Data has become central to her decision-making process.
Now what? O'Brien says omni-channel is non-negotiable and CMOs must strive to add value and exceed expectations.
There's no pressure to follow in anyone's footsteps for Diana O'Brien. She's taken the reins as Deloitte's first CMO. It's a different job than O'Brien expected, as the majority of her focus for nearly two years has been on breaking down disparate silos within Deloitte.
It seemed natural to her to bring the silos under one umbrella, O'Brien says, but, "what I didn't appreciate when we first started was how powerful an engine we would be in championing our clients by capitalizing on the powers we have now that we've brought some of these groups together."
O'Brien became CMO in March 2015 after working for Deloitte in various roles since 1985. She has pushed out new campaigns, adopted new data technologies and served as the voice of the customer in Deloitte's C-suite. Marketing News spoke with O'Brien about her time as CMO thus far and her plans for the future.
A: I've had a long career at Deloitte. I joined our consulting practice in 1985. For most of my career, I've served clients, so I'm a very client-oriented CMO. Five years ago, I took the responsibility to build Deloitte University. That's our leadership center in West Lake, Texas, for all of our professionals to invest in their development and create an environment where they not only will be given the opportunity to grow their leadership skills, but to concentrate and spark ideas with clients and their colleagues. That's a touchstone of our culture today. That was an incredible experience that was unexpected in my career, as was becoming the CMO.
Q: It seems like each company has its own definition of what a CMO is. What's your vision for CMO at Deloitte?
A: We define my role as a champion for clients and a driver of growth. We have a responsibility to build Deloitte's reputation, and we do that by creating powerful experiences, unique insights and, ultimately, building lasting relationships with our clients. In my organization, I have a number of leaders that have market eminence and industry sector eminence who are bringing the insights to our clients to help them solve issues that they face.
When you couple what they do—which is build solutions—with the brand, [Deloitte's] creativity and innovative mindset, our policy understanding, corporate citizenship and investment, all of those things really create a differentiated experience. That's what enables us to help the business grow.
Q: Are you able to work easily with other executives in the C-suite? That has been a challenge for many marketers.
A: I wouldn't say that's been my experience at all. There are some CMOs who are unfamiliar with sitting in the C-suite, but at Deloitte we view marketing as a growth driver, not a cost center. I'm solving problems with my colleagues. I connect the dots across what our customers need the most, what our brand needs in the market place and what our chief talent officer and risk officer might say our conduct would be. I'm connected to every part of the C-suite. The advantage the CMO has, if they embrace it, is that they are closest to the customer. They have the deepest insights and they have the people and relationships to be in touch with the marketplace and understand what's needed. If they can translate that into the language of their C-suite peers, they become an invaluable resource for problem solving and ensuring the experiences defined in the brand are what they create.
Q: You're able to be an advocate for the Deloitte customer?
A: That's what any good CMO really is: the advocate for the customer. That's relatively new. It started to change in the last couple of years. CMOs have been embraced and [companies see] them as someone who can solve problems and unite the C-suite, rather than being tactical.
Q: Tell me about your new "Look Again" ad campaign and your acquisition of creative ad agency Heat?
A: Heat was an acquisition we made at the end of [2015]. It's a tremendous asset that allowed us to become closer to a full-digital agency. We always had a strong practice in supporting [marketing], but we didn't have the advertising component. Being a chief storyteller is a big part of what you need to have in order to serve as CMO. Our acquisition of Heat was critical for this.
We have a long history based on trust and integrity, but we also have a very large practice that helps transform businesses to be more innovative and insightful. We weren't as well-known for that, and we wanted to establish a creative platform that helps us communicate that to our clients as well as to our professionals. We formed an agency model within our own organization to take full advantage of Heat. We wanted to eat our own dog food. What we're advising our clients to do and what we want to do ourselves [is use]
Heat, our digital agency, to help us craft a creative platform for our future. It's a creative platform to emotionally connect to how we behave in the marketplace and arrive at some of the best solutions that our clients need. "Look Again" was our first foray into TV advertising in a while. It's the essence of what Deloitte is looking at. We will look further to find the solutions you need. We will look within, we'll look behind, we'll look forward, we'll look around to give our people the tools to ensure our clients are moving forward with things that are important to them. TV wasn't the only thing we did; it was a piece of the story.
Q: TV advertising has dropped off a bit in recent years, but advancements are still being made in the use of customer data and segmentation. As CMO, how do you make use of data?
A: Every company is a data company. Every company is a technology company. We're all rich with data, and we all have many different kinds of technology. The key is to use the data and the technology to create meaning and understanding, so you can make choices and decisions and be more proactive in satisfying your clients' expectations. You can be overwhelmed by data, and it can overtake you, but the key is to stay focused on the problems you're trying to solve and your goals. Then, you can organize and synthesize data in ways that give insight around your customer's behavior and preferences. You understand performance more deeply and you get real-time feedback on your brand KPIs. That's what allows you to exceed your customers' expectations.
Q: When searching for customer insights, marketers have different philosophies. Some start with a problem, some go fishing for insights. What route do you take?
A: You have to be scientific about it. You have to know the problems you're solving and organize data to answer those questions. You have to look at data in a holistic way and look at surface trends. Both are important. Those trends can tell you things that you might not be thinking about when you're just focused on solving a problem, such as "What are the preferences of this client segment over that segment?" When you look at trend data, you can see that people who buy "this" tend to buy "that." Those are things you might not have asked a question about. We use data scientists, research and analytics to look at the data, so you can find different answers depending on where you're looking.
Q: How do you navigate omni-channel marketing at Deloitte?
A: Omni-channel is a non-negotiable. You have to be where your clients are, and you have to deliver consistently to them. We understand that you no longer create a relationship with your clients by just having in-person relationships. That's still important, and we don't diminish that, but there are digital and social aspects we have to embrace. You have to use digital, social and physical in combination. It's not to say you invest in all of them equally. You have to start with where your clients are, what's needed to bring solutions to that segment and how to optimize that channel for that particular client segment. That's how you meet expectations in ways that are value-creating. You're giving it to them in ways they can digest and they most want to experience.
Q: Are there other ways to get in touch and stay in touch with customers?
A: We have a number of programs that focus on the customer experience. We bring together the physical and the virtual, engaging the customers throughout. We might use virtual reality to help them experience something. Customers will be in the physical setting and we may be able to have a facilitated dialog right there. We have robots we're testing now that we put into individual sessions. If I'm in an immersive session with someone, the robot can be present and it could bring people, say a certain executive from one market or an executive from Asia or Europe, into that setting in that moment, and allow you to engage with them. That's the real-time feedback that executives have received when we create these personalized experiences our clients are interested in.
Q: What's the most important thing you'd like to see accomplished as CMO?
A: The legacy I'd like to leave is for all 80,000 professionals at Deloitte to be unleashed as ambassadors of who we are, what we are and be able to express that in the marketplace every time they're interacting with our clients. My No. 1 job is to make sure they're all ambassadors of our brand.
Q: Is that tough to do? Everyone has a different personality, so I imagine it takes a certain level of trust.
A: It definitely takes trust, but in the 24/7, unscripted world you have to trust people to make the most of every moment and make extraordinary experiences. Our purpose is to make an impact that matters; we want you to make an impact that matters with our clients, our people and within the communities where you live.
We've conducted enough research to know there are behaviors that we respond to and bring out when we're at our best. Things like walking in someone else's shoes and showing empathy. You understand through the client's eyes. You ask questions that demonstrate that you understand and you're willing to listen and lean into their issues. Another is to show up and be fully present—physically, emotionally and intellectually. Show undivided attention. Get into the trenches with them. Get on a plane if need be. Be there for them if they need you. These are things that I think stem from personality. They stem from behaviors of the kind of culture you want to have and the kind of people you want to be around.

SpongeBob SquarePants, which first aired on May 1, 1999. In the television series, Gary is SpongeBob's loyal pet, although his behavior in several aspects resembles a snail. As revealed in "Rule of Dumb", Gary is the rightful king of Bikini Bottom and is related to Patrick. Gary is shown to be very bored and massively cheeky, although, being a pet, he lacks the communication skills to convey this.

Curiously, I generally think the opposite. If your application has properties that must be unique, or if there are non-commutative operations on your documents, it's better to to use that knowledge to form your id (a typical approach being to cons all the values together and take the md5 and sha1 of the result). If you do so, then couchdb will largely prevent (and at least detect) conflicts for you. If none of your documents can possibly conflict with any other then a UUID is perfectly justified. B.

Norman Parke takes on the FitBrit 2014 challenge
Norman Parke is quietly making a name for himself in the UFC. His pro record shows just two defeats in 23 fights, and he's undefeated in his five UFC bouts – in fact he'd be on an 11-fight winning streak if not for a point deduction against Leonardo Santos at UFC Fight Night in March that led to a draw. His most recent win, a TKO stoppage of the wily veteran Naoyuki Kotani at UFC Fight Night Dublin in July, has his stock at an-all time high.
So how does his phenomenal fight fitness translate to the requirements of FitBrit? 'It's a great challenge,' he says, after finishing in a highly respectable 14min 5sec. 'It's quite different from the short, explosive movements I make when I'm throwing big punches or kicks but it's not a million miles away from putting constant pressure on someone for an entire 15-minute bout.'
And his tip for getting through FitBrit in the fastest time possible? 'There are loads of technical things you can do to shave seconds off your time, but the most important thing is to just keep pushing,' says Parke. 'Whether fighting or doing this challenge, your attitude has to be about always moving forwards. If you start thinking about easing off, your opponent will find an opening, or you won't put in a time you're happy with. What's 15 minutes of hard work compared to the sweet taste of victory or a PB?'
