A couple of years ago, Angela Morales received a Facebook invitation from her mother, begging her to sign up for a newish game called FarmVille. Unlike traditional console titles, FarmVille takes place entirely online – the industry term d'art is "social gaming" – and allows collaboration among millions of users around the globe.
In the case of FarmVille, which is produced by San Francisco-based Zynga, the purpose of the game is to handle the day-to-day operations of a virtual farm. Players feed the pigs, monitor the crops, and work to expand their pixilated holdings; meanwhile, other users can patronize the farm, or simply drop in to lend advice.
Ms. Morales was skeptical. She had recently started a photography company in Houston, where she lives with her husband, and free time was hard to find. Moreover, she had never really considered herself much of a hard-core gamer. But the invitations kept coming, and eventually, her defenses worn down, she decided to accept.
The decision changed Morales's life. Within a few months, she was deeply immersed in the world of FarmVille, spending hours a day tilling virtual fields, and breeding virtual animals. In September 2009, she founded the blog FarmVilleFreak.com, a fan page dedicated to all things FarmVille; it has since become the most popular unofficial FarmVille fan site in the world (and yes, FarmVille fan sites are legion).
Although she and her husband recently had their first child, Morales estimates that she still signs on to FarmVille at least three times a day. "I can say that I'm thankful FarmVille didn't exist while I was still in college," Morales joked recently.
The idea that anyone would want to spend hours a week tending a fantasy farm may strikes non-social gamers as ridiculous – surely the denizens of FarmVille would be happier mucking around in a real garden, under a real summer sky. And yet Morales's story is hardly unique. NPD Group, a market research firm, recently reported that 56.8 million American consumers – or 20 percent of the US population over the age of 6 – had played a social-media game in the past three months. In Britain and the United States combined, the size of the market is an incredible 100 million consumers, according to a survey conducted by Information Solutions Group.
Most of these gamers are playing on Facebook, a social network that is itself expanding rapidly. This year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook had topped the 500 million-member mark worldwide; in August, Internet users spent more time – 41.1 million minutes – on Facebook than they did on all Google sites combined.
"Historically, video games were bought at Wal-Mart and played at home or on a PC," says Justin Smith, the founder of Inside Network, a research firm that studies social-media trends. "What Facebook has done is open up gaming to a much wider audience – it has provided a platform for people who wouldn't even normally consider themselves gamers. It's changing the way that the gaming business is going to work. This is the biggest revolution in the gaming industry in quite a while."
As Mr. Smith suggests, social gamers are a diverse bunch. The social-gaming market comprises older gamers, younger gamers, and gamers who are happy to breed virtual pigs but wouldn't be caught dead playing an Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii. NPD Group says that 53 percent of American social gamers are women; 35 percent had never played a video game before. Perhaps most dangerously for makers of consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, social gamers reported having spent 20 percent less on gaming hardware or software since they took up network gaming.
"As more players are drawn into these games, the entire games industry is going to feel, and have to adjust to, the impact," NPD Group's Anita Frazier noted in a statement accompanying the study.
The majority of social-gaming titles are decidedly retro affairs – the gameplay is simplistic, the graphics are stripped down to a Nintendo NES level, the sound effects are tinny at worst and corny at best. In fact, for social-gaming studios, a simplistic presentation isn't just an unfortunate side effect of the production process – a simplistic presentation is the point.
"Our games should work perfectly well on an eight-year-old PC, and if they don't, then we've failed," says Garth Chouteau, vice president for communications at PopCap Games. PopCap – which commissioned the Information Solutions Group survey – makes a range of social-gaming titles, including Plants vs. Zombies, and the bestselling puzzle title Bejeweled. "The crudest possible version of Bejeweled would still be fun to play," Mr. Chouteau says. "It would still be fun because the fun isn't tied to the physical look of the game; it's about the experience."
Chouteau likens the appeal of social-media games to the old-style parlor games played in the 19th century. With parlor gaming, community was part of the appeal – you weren't sitting alone in a dark room, doing solo battle with a clan of bright-green aliens, as many modern console gamers do today. You were talking, you were gossiping, you were connecting with real people. "I think the idea of spending time with colleagues and friends was kind of lost in the first few waves of the video-game revolution," Chouteau says. "There wasn't something like Facebook that gave us immediate and ongoing access to our friends. But now we're at the point, technologically speaking, where we can let people back into the parlor."
Andrew Sheppard, the chief product officer at Kabam Games, acknowledges that social games don't have the same complexity as console games – and that they may not immerse the gamer in exactly the same way. But he points out that social games are uniquely capable of bringing people together. For one, there's a low barrier of entry – you don't have to be a veteran gamer to enjoy a social game. Furthermore, because social-gaming titles work inside Facebook, there's a raucously collaborative element to the gameplay experience. Mr. Sheppard points to the Kabam title Kingdoms of Camelot, a game that Inside Networks says attracts more than 6 million monthly users.
"We regularly hear about [Kingdoms of Camelot] gamers meeting up on weekends to celebrate their in-game victories," Sheppard says. "The friendships these people have are a direct result of the experiences they shared inside the game."
Some aspects of social gaming, of course, remain controversial. Social-game creators, from PopCap to Kabam, get their revenue from a variety of sources, including in-game advertising, promotion for existing for-pay titles, and so-called "microtranscations" – upgrades or premium objects that users must pay hard, nonvirtual currency to obtain. In Kingdoms of Camelot, for instance, a user can choose to purchase packets of in-game "gems," for costs ranging from $5 to $500. This premium content is no way intrinsic to the game – a user can get along perfectly well without a big bag of gems. And in fact, most do. (NPD Group says only 10 percent of gamers spend real money playing social titles; 11 percent indicated that they would be willing to do so in the future.)
Still, most industry insiders expect the social-gaming market to continue to expand, despite the hiccups. Colin Sebastian, an analyst at investment firm Lazard Capital, said in an interview that he expects to see "more opportunity for social gaming, particularly since people seem to be gravitating towards games as a means to interact with their friends and acquaintances on Facebook and other platforms." Mr. Sebastian is not alone: Investment bank ThinkEquity has estimated that in-game advertisements and virtual good sales will together bring a revenue stream of $2 billion by 2012.
Chris Carvalho, the chief operating officer at Kabam, predicts that in coming years, "hard-core" console gamers will continue to migrate to social-gaming titles on Facebook – and the studios will continue to produce. "We believe there is a huge opportunity to create real games, games that bring popular mechanics from traditional games to social gamers and drive deeper, more lasting engagement," Mr. Carvalho says. "To borrow a line from Wayne Gretzky, we don't want to skate to where the industry is, but to skate to where the industry is going – towards more robust gaming experiences."

You stupid f-ck?
I'm normally a Peaches apologist. Maybe because I have a friend who looks like her. Maybe it's the anglophile in me. Definitely it's all the drama. But there's drama and then there's ignorance. And this bitch right here is a f-cking dumbass.
Do you know what you're wearing?
Her boyfriend obviously never saw what she was wearing. Because Peaches is dating Eli Roth. And while Eli Roth is a crazy motherf-cker, racist is not an attribute I'd assign to him. Or her father, best known for his Third World advocacy against modern slavery of African nations to the cycle of poverty, government debt, and disease.
So is Peaches pro-slavery? I honestly don't think so. I just think she's a member of the Stupid Generation. And the Stupid Generation knows nothing of iconography. Which is why there are 18 year old kids running around wearing Che Guevara tee-shirts who have no idea who he actually was.

Almost 50,000 BlackBerry Apps Come From One Developer
One developer has almost 50,000 apps in BlackBerry World out of BlackBerry's approximately 235,000 total apps. No, that's not a typo. 50,000.
As first discovered by BerryReview, the Hong Kong-based development shop S4BB has developed tens of thousands of apps for BlackBerry 10 and legacy BBOS devices.
See also: Who Would Buy BlackBerry?
The apps run the gamut from specific app locks to city guides and maps to custom searches for various web sites. Most of the apps are based on a template, which is then modified for a specific application, language or city. Very few are high quality and offer much value, but aren't quite what I would classify as spam.
When BlackBerry 10 was unveiled in January, BlackBerry bragged that it was launching with more than 70,000 apps. In the last seven months, that number has grown to more than 120,000 apps.
On the surface, this looks like strong growth, but what does it mean when such a huge quantity of apps come via port-a-thons or one single development shop?
The discovery of S4BB's number of apps in BlackBerry World underscores a basic problem I have found with BlackBerry 10 since its launch: a lack of apps that matter.
In this era of smartphone apps, It's really not about hundreds of thousands of apps, it's about key apps that people actually want to use.
This problem isn't unique to just BlackBerry. Windows Phone has had similar struggles (for example, Instagram isn't available for Windows Phone yet). In the last few months, however, Microsoft and the Windows Phone platform is slowly but surely making gains in those key app categories.
Last month, Vine debuted for Nokia Windows Phones, and Path and Flipboard announced their intentions to join the Windows Phone party.
Signs of Bigger Problems
BlackBerry's app problems extend beyond the huge swath of apps from one developer. The company has had a hard time getting independent developers — not to mention bigger well-established brands — to embrace its platform.
Part of the reason can be attributed to the shrinking base of BlackBerry users in key markets such as the United States, but I believe the problem is even bigger. BlackBerry's messaging around its app development process is a complete mess.
To build an app for BlackBerry 10, developers have options — and too many options at that. Developers can build HTML5 apps using WebWorks or tools from companies like Sencha or Appcelerator. Developers can also build "native" BB10 apps using the company's Cascades framework. And for some reason, BlackBerry also lets developers bring their Android apps to BlackBerry 10, using an embedded version of the Android runtime in its own instance inside an app. The Android runtime will get a major update with the next major BlackBerry 10 release, but in my experience, most apps that come to BlackBerry 10 via ports have a sub-par user experience and suffer from performance issues.
Simply put, there are just too many options for developers to choose from; many developers won't target BlackBerry at all. At the BlackBerry Live event in May, most of the developers I spoke with could be grouped into two camps: Developers with one or two simple BlackBerry apps who were still evaluating their BlackBerry roadmap, and developers with 30 or more apps that were often little more than simple wrappers around an RSS feed or or a cookie-cutter app template.
Many members in the latter group created so many apps because of BlackBerry's "perks," which include cash for porting Android apps, guaranteed income for "Built for BlackBerry apps" or free PlayBook tablets or Z10 devices.
BlackBerry: Fix the App Mess
If BlackBerry is to get back on track, it has to attack its app problem. This means offering real incentives to the developers that need to be on the platform, not giving peanuts to the guys who make a currency converter or guidebook for a city with 1,100 residents. It also means deciding on a singular development strategy; too many options make it easier to forgo altogether.
Although it might hurt BlackBerry's ability to tell investors it has "X many apps" in BlackBerry World, I suggest putting tighter constraints on the app approval process and discouraging developers from submitting hundreds of identical apps.
Back in 2009, Apple cracked down on what was then the third-largest iPhone developer, removing his nearly 1,000 apps from its store. Four years later, lots of developers have hundreds of apps — and yes, plenty of developers abuse the system with cookie-cutter apps. But Apple has also enforced guidelines to discourage this type of behavior.
Android has plenty of cookie-cutter app, too (though no developer I'm aware of is as prolific on Android). But the problem is obviously less concerning because the platform has apps that users actually want.
In this case, "the other guys have bad apps too" excuse doesn't work. Not least of which because the actual app discovery process on BlackBerry 10 is so horrendous, searching for something innocuous likes "maps" will turn up three dozen apps — many of which are just carbon copies of the same template.
Do you think BlackBerry should limit the number of apps a developer can build? Let us know in the comments.

If the Netherlands manages to make it to—and then win—the World Cup final on Sunday, XCOR Aerospace will award all the team's members with a free flight to space, according to a report from Forbes. The flights, which can only be taken by one person at a time, are valued at $95,000 each.
The Space Expeditions branch of XCOR was formerly an independent Dutch operation named Space Expedition Corporation (hence the focus on the Dutch team). XCOR, the American company that developed the Lynx Mark II sub-orbital space vehicle, purchased Space Expeditions at the end of June and made it a wholly owned subsidiary.
XCOR's rocket-powered Lynx hopes to take its passengers 100 kilometers up into the Earth's thermosphere—when it launches in 2016. The Lynx should be able to achieve the same altitude as Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo, which is set to provide its six passengers with six minutes of low-gravity flight time for $200,000 a seat.
XCOR's offer probably won't cost the company anything, however; the Dutch team's chances of winning the World Cup are the slimmest of the remaining teams, at 13 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight.

The chief concern of the present study is the evaluation of the evidence the work in question itself - Michelangelo's Florentine Pietà - offers for the placement of Christ's left leg before Michelangelo attacked it. If, as the author suggests, we abandon our trust in the square socket in the thigh of Christ as a guide to the original position of the left leg, more than one position of the leg seems possible. The reconstruction proposed here narrows the angle between the legs and the pathos of the scene (Deposition) is more silent. If Calcagni, forced by the exigencies of the destruction, invented a new position for the left leg, he did it with a high regard for the pathos of the work as a whole. His restoration has preserved the group, and continues to give us access, like a frame around a painting, to its grief and lonely beauty.
Focusing on the relationship between word and image at Montceaux-l'Etoile, this essay argues that a pair of capitals representing a siren and an onocentaur functioned as a sculptural commentary on the apocalyptic notion that "the time is near." From a broader perspective, this interpretation opens up a new way to read the Romanesque sculpture of Burgundy as word images, where capitals evoked specific phrases from scripture and the choice of phrases determined the overall program; comparisons to Autun and Vézelay suggest that these churches adopted a similar method. Eighty-one texts collected in the appendix set out the evidence for the siren and onocentaur in early medieval thought.
This paper focuses on the intricate allegory of Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Good Government mural in the council hall of the nine executive magistrates of the state of Siena in the city's Palazzo Pubblico. Here the role of the state's advisors responsible for the mural's intricate propagandistic intellectual structure serving the state of Siena under the Nine and the genial artist's contribution must be separated. The reading of the mural takes into account the restorations of the later Trecento and especially the loss of bright metal leaf originally applied on significant portions of the mural. It is found that the mural's iconography is more complicated than hitherto thought. Here are some of the conclusions reached: the mural assumes awareness of Simone Martini's Maestà in the adjacent legislative council hall; the images of Commutative and Distributive Justices depart from their Aristotelian-Thomistic roots; the antiquising Peace, represented as the desirable woman, sharing the central stage of the mural with Fortitude, represents the victory of Peace over War; the exceptional presence of two Justices involves one serving God and the other the state of Siena; and the meaningful paired correspondences of virtues with vices, considering the entire mural cycle, are not systematically applied. Last but not least, the significant presence of the Sienese army introduces an element of "realpolitik" which corresponds to the near contemporary views of Marsilius of Padua expressed in his Defensor Pacis.
Piero della Francesca's Hercules, a fresco in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and the painter's only secular work, is unique among his paintings in many respects. Although its authenticity as an autograph work has never been questioned, it is usually neglected in the literature on Piero. The fresco comes from the painter's own house in Borgo San Sepolcro and thus is an exceptional case of an artist's self-patronage. The analogy of composition and dimensions with Piero's later portrait, as well as iconographic attributes of the virtue of Prudence and some other clues, lead the author to make a convincing notion that the Hercules is Piero's self-portrait, what is more, a "moral" one, characterising him as an artist.
A survey of the art patronage of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni (1667-1740) is presented. This involved a fifty-year-career as Vice-Chancellor of the Church during which time the cardinal engaged painters, sculptors, architects and musicians. Their projects included the Vatican tomb of his great-uncle, Pope Alexander VIII, a confessione and chapel for his basilica of San Lorenzo in Damaso, and a theater and tapestries and paintings for his official palace of the Cancelleria. His artists, many of them court residents, included Arcangelo Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, Filippo Juvarra, Domenico Gregorini, Angelo de' Rossi, Francesco Trevisani and Sebastiano Conca, among others.
It is now widely believed that Rembrandt started making prints as early as 1625-1626, and that the Circumcision, the Rest on the Flight into Egypt and the Flight into Egypt are his first etchings. In this paper the author attributes the first two of these prints to Jan Lievens and shows that the Flight into Egypt should be dated a few years later than has usually been conjectured. A number of arguments indicate that Rembrandt started etching as late as 1628, and that he must have bought a printing press the following year.
The present article centers on Manet's painting Le suicidé, so far little discussed in modern research. The reluctance of the painter to represent suicide within a narrative context is here considered as the most salient feature of this canvas and serves as a key for its interpretation. As further analysis shows, Manet's approach contradicted the tradition of representing suicide, according to which this subject was normally reserved to history painting and focused on the very aspects Manet chose to omit. It is argued that the artist thus deliberately displayed his disregard of the principles of academic painting and that Le suicidé was an artistic manifesto of Manet's position within the Realist movement.
We show (a) that de Piles' scores in the balance des peintres are only mildly reflected in his other writings and that color comes out only as a weak and unconvincing explanation of the space he devotes to individual artists in his Abrégé; (b) that his Abrégé is more closely related to the number of paintings in the royal collection; (c) that Félibien des Avaux, the (allegedly) traditionalist art historian who became member of the Royal Academy much earlier than de Piles, admitted in 1699 only, was less in agreement with the tastes of the King than was de Piles and (d) that de Piles changed views on painting and predicted in a much better way than Félibien and the Academy, who were the painters who would pass the test of time, and those who would not.

Microsoft confirmed late Wednesday the existence of newly updated Xbox 360 units that include HDMI support. The news comes amid reports that new machines are now available in stores coinciding with today's price drops.
"Yes, we are offering an HDMI port for Xbox 360 simply as another choice in Xbox 360 owners' games and entertainment experience," a Microsoft rep told Shacknews in an statement. "Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand."
The company denied comment on the port addition to cheaper Core models not to mention the rumored cooler running processors. "We have not announced any plans to add HDMI to the Xbox 360 Core System," the rep said. "We are constantly updating the console's more than 1700 internal components and therefore will not comment on details of specific components or manufacturing processes."
HDMI allows for higher audio and visual fidelity when connected to HD-enabled TVs, and was first made available on Xbox 360 Elite models.

What you need to know before you go
Sapporo is the capital of Hokkaido. It's well known for ramen, beer, snow, and being home to some of Japan's most spectacular festivals. The most impressive is the Sapporo Snow Festival, held annually in Odori Park with huge scenes and structures constructed entirely out of ice. It overlaps with the Sapporo White Illumination, when strings of white lights adorn Odori Park creating a truly magical scene.
The extraordinary countryside lying outside the city is idyllic for nature lovers – the Hokkaido landscape presents wonderful opportunities for hiking, camping during the warmer months, and exhilarating skiing conditions during winter. The former Olympic ski jump stadium is a popular photo opportunity, and the Sapporo Beer Museum is a favourite for obvious reasons. The open-air Historic Village depicts life in days gone by.

Good Morning,
The headline jobless rate jumped to 8.5% with 663,000 jobs lost in March. Unadjusted U6 jumped to 16.2% while seasonally adjusted U6 rose to 15.6%. January was adjusted down by 86,000 jobs, naturally - BLS Alternative Measures.
Futures were up initially, but fell back after the revisions were realized and that there have now been more than 2 million job losses so far in 2009. Here's a chart of the overnight action, it's pretty close to where we closed yesterday. RIMM's report is holding up the market right now and thus it doesn't look like we're going to get a gap down to produce those shooting stars, but it's still early.
Non-manufacturing ISM comes out at 10 Eastern, that has the potential to move the market as well.
Below is a Shadowstats.com chart that will update automatically when the new employment data is inputted. His numbers, and the U6 data, is much closer to the way unemployment used to be computed, so if you're looking to compare today with the Great Depression, those are the numbers you should be using, not the watered down modern media numbers.
McHugh went long yesterday and is pointing out a "confirmed" Inverted Head & Shoulder's pattern on the SPX that would effectively double the rally to date if fullfilled. While that's possible, I don't think that pattern is as clean as he makes it sound. Remember the last one that was supposed to send us to 10,000? Never happened. We'll see, the action to date certainly feels like we've begun wave B up, but once you hit that feeling, that's usually about the time it ends. I think being careful in both directions is warranted, and I definately do not think people who are long term investors should be buying into the rally, the long term indicators have not been tripped and we have yet to even make a new high.
Have a great day,

Salting the silence,
Boiling my blood.
Giving and honest
Is not thick enough.
And now have you gone easy,
Let your lines get caught?
Some sink and some carry
And you will not
No you will not know if
If it holds you
'till you set straight
Where you're going to.
You'll not know
'till it breaks us,
Pulls you under,
If you'll give up.
You'll not know.
For what is this comfort?
Is it asking too much,
When you hold me in hunger
And i feel your touch?
When i feel your touch,
I know where the day ends.
All my lines meet the horizons.
I know, i know, i know i can do this,
And the hard days i won't miss.
I know, i know, i know, i know like it's scarred in,
Where my place is;
Where i'm going.
I know, i know, i know i'm a lost one.
And it's too late.
I'm far, i'm far, i'm far gone.

When Poetry Meets the Common Core
Poetry can be intimidating. As students, many of us were taught that the goal of reading a poem was to "understand" exactly what the poet was trying to say. No small charge.
The Common Core State Standards can be intimidating, too. Many educators are hearing that poetry and literature must give way to informational text under the new standards.
It would be easy to scratch poems from our syllabi these days.
But in our quest to meet the common core in English language arts, poetry can and should play an important role. All that is needed is a shift in the way we read and discuss poems with students.
What if we give up on trying to "get" a poem and explain its one true meaning? Instead, we can discover the richness of the text and learn from the questions and puzzles poems present to us. Once we make this shift, nearly any poem becomes "teachable" at nearly any grade, from Emily Dickinson to Walt Whitman to Maya Angelou and beyond.
Let's examine some three questions that will hopefully inspire you to add poetry to your teaching repertoire.
1) What Standards Can You Meet With Poetry?
Poetry is part of the common core. A closer look at the grade-level standards reveals that poetry, poetic language, and poetry terminology (e.g., stanza, sonnet) are specifically mentioned in all grades.
But there's more to it than that. The ELA anchor standards (anchor standard number in parentheses) call upon students to be able to:
• Make inferences (1).
• Cite specific textual evidence to support conclusions and answers (1).
• Determine and analyze the theme of a text (2).
• Analyze the way ideas develop over the course of a text (3).
• Interpret words and phrases (4).
• Analyze connotative and figurative meanings of words (4).
• Analyze how word choice shapes a text (4).
• Analyze the structure of a text (5).
• Assess how point of view shapes a text (6).
• Analyze how two texts address the same theme (9).
I look at this list and think, "poetry … poetry … poetry … ." And that's just the reading standards! There are anchor standards in Language, Speaking and Listening, and even Writing (even though poetry isn't mentioned once there) that also lend themselves to the use of poetry.
2) How Do You Select a Poem to Teach?
My advice here is simplechoose a poem you enjoy. And if you're not familiar with many poems, check out this list of poems I like to teach and this list of some of my favorite poetry books. Spend time exploring the website of The Poetry Foundation, which has several teaching guides for various poems as well as a section on children's poetry. Another favorite of mine is The Academy of American Poets (Both have apps for your smartphone, too!)
3) How Do You Teach a Poem?
Before I share a poem with a group of students, I prepare a list of questions. As poetry critic Helen Vendler writes, "A poem will tell you what questions to ask of it." The poem you choose should guide your questions. But you can also prepare with the common-core skills in mind.
Here are some general questions, rooted in the ELA Reading anchor standards, that can apply to a variety of poems. (These are adapted from A Surge of Language by Baron Wormser and David Cappella.)
• What message does this poem convey to you?
• What comparisons does the author make? How are the things being compared alike?
• How are the sentences and stanzas connected?
• How are the images in the poem described?
• After you read the poem, how does it make you feel? What causes that feeling?
• Does the poem change at any point? If so, where and how? What effect does this change have?
• Why would the poet choose that title for the poem?
• What if the poem were told from a different point of view?
And here are some questions that are more specifically about words and language:
• What word surprises you? Confuses you? Interests you?
• Is there a word that seems like it isn't needed or doesn't fit?
• What word is most important in this poem?
• Which words may have multiple meanings?
• If the word ___ is removed, how does the poem change?
All of these questions won't apply to every single poem you read. I choose questionsand come up with my ownbased on the skills I'm helping students master and the poem we're reading.
With your questions in mind, it's time for the fun partreading and discussing the poem. I read the poem aloud to students and give them each a copy so they can follow along. (They store these in a binder, creating an anthology of great poems as the year progresses.) If it's a longer or more complex poem, I read it one stanza or section at a time, asking a question or two after each part.
Another option for shorter poems is dictation. As I slowly read the poem, one line at a time, students copy it into their poetry notebooks. This approach helps them listen actively and really gets them thinking about the words and structure of the poem.
Often, after reading a poem, I begin with a simple question: "What do you notice?" I asked this after reading "Dreams" by Langston Hughes. A student shared the observation that in the first stanza, it reads, "For if dreams die" and in the second it reads, "For when dreams die." He went on to add that "since there are two kinds of dreams, goals and the ones you have at night, maybe (Hughes) was talking about one in the first stanza and the other in the second." This astute answer gave me goosebumps.
As you move into your discussion, remember that questions about poetry rarely have one correct answer. In fact, some of the best questions to ask students about poems are questions that you don't even know the answer to yourself. I recently read "Popcorn Can Cover" by Lorine Niedecker with my 5th grade students. I asked them afterward: "Why isn't there a period at the end of this poem?" I hadn't the faintest idea. But one student answered, "Maybe because the story isn't over yet."
Keep in mind the common standards focus on supporting answers by citing "specific textual evidence." Follow up as many questions as you can with, "What in the poem makes you think that?" This will not only help students practice the important skill of grounding their conclusions in the text, but it will also lead to more dynamic classroom discussions.
As a recent Washington Post article explains, many fear that quality literature and poetry cannot be a part of common-core-aligned instruction. Yes, the standards do emphasize informational text in all subject areas (not just language arts). But poetry's not out of the game: Indeed, it's one of the best tools we have for teaching critical thinking, depth of understanding, and analysis.

Equity futures were higher overnight with still more rumors, dreams, and jawboning in Europe about creating another $270 billion from thin air and tossing it at the bankers. The headline Employment numbers for November came in with Private Payrolls supposedly creating 120,000 jobs (didn't really happen), and the headline rate falling from 9.0% all the way to a Presidential touting prior to his re-election 8.6% (definitely didn't really happen). And thus what we have is a white washed snow jobs report, and the dollar is lower, bonds are flat, oil is higher, gold & silver are higher, and food commodities are flat this morning as the real numbers of unemployed continue to pile up at the food banks.
It's getting ridiculous how large the separation between these economic reports and reality is. It requires a huge amount of work time just to unspin them, and I'm an expert at doing so, just imagine how little effort the majority put into understanding these numbers. It's subversive and perverse, it's a part of the cover-up to maintain power and control by those who possess it. They possess that power and control because they unconstitutionally (illegally) were given the power to create money.
In a nutshell, the only reason the rate fell to 8.6% was because the BLS lowered the Participation Rate by more than 200,000 people, while those "not in the Labor Force" rose by a whopping 576,000! This has the effect of saying those people just aren't interested in working, and therefore they are no longer counted as unemployed! More on this later, charts included, ugh.
First let's hear from Econospin, note the reasons cited for the rate falling to 8.6%:
The November jobs report overall came in with improvement, though there were mixed results. The unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped sharply. Payroll jobs in November advanced a relatively strong 120,000 after gaining a revised 100,000 in October (originally 80,000) and increased a revised 210,000 in September (previously 158,000). Analysts forecast a 131,000 boost in overall payrolls. Revisions for September and October were up net 70,000.
Once again, private payrolls gained more than overall. Private nonfarm payrolls gained 140,000, following a 117,000 increase in October and 220,000 rise in September. The November boost fell short of market expectations for a 150,000 increase.
In the private sector, goods-producing jobs slipped 6,000 after a 4,000 decrease in October and 36,000 boost in September. Construction jobs fell 12,000 in October after decreasing 15,000 the month before. Manufacturing employment edged up 2,000 after a 6,000 rise in October. Mining increased 2,000, following a 6,000 rise the prior month.
Private service-providing jobs advanced 146,000 in November, following a 121,000 gain the prior month. The November increase was led by trade & transportation (up 58,000), professional & business services (up 33,000), leisure & hospitality (up 22,000), health care (up 12,000). The temp help subcomponent of professional & business services rose 22,000 after a 16,000 gain.
The public sector continued to decline as government employment decreased 20,000, following a 17,000 drop in October.
Wage growth has been volatile recently as average hourly earnings in November slipped 0.1 percent, following an upwardly revised 0.3 percent gain the month before. Analysts predicted a 0.2 percent increase for November. On average, wage growth has been growing but at an anemic pace. Given the upward revision to October, the November dip should not been so disconcerting. Still, the uptrend is modest. The average workweek for all workers in November was unchanged at 34.3 hours, matching the market median forecast.
From the household survey, the unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped to 8.6 percent from 9.0 percent in October. The consensus forecast called for 9.0 percent. The rate decline reflected a 594,000 fall in the number of unemployed and a 278,000 increase in household employment. Basically, the unemployment rate fell largely due to a decline in the participation rate although household employment growth recently continues to exceed payroll jobs growth by a notable degree.
Overall, the latest employment report is favorable for the recovery continuing to gain traction. On the news, equity futures edged down as expectations were slightly stronger for payroll data and the unemployment rate dip was discounted.
"…the unemployment rate fell largely due to a decline in the participation rate." That is the key line they buried in the middle, it is the entire reason for the drop.
Now, here's the entire report from the BLS:
Employment Situation November 2011
Note the notes in this report, pay particular attention to the following:
Effective with the release of The Employment Situation for January 2012, scheduled for February 3, 2012, population controls that reflect the results of Census 2010 will be used in the monthly household survey estimation process. Historical data will not be revised to incorporate the new controls; consequently, household survey data for January 2012 will not be directly comparable with that for December 2011 or earlier periods. A table showing the effects of the new controls on the major labor force series will be included in the January 2012 release.
In other words, they are once again changing the way they report data and once again comparisons to the past will be meaningless. In other words, they are going to manipulate the data some more. Nice of them to warn us. But the truth is the data is so far from comparable already it is nothing but a sick joke – the difference now being a reported 8.6% unemployment rate versus the reality that is closer to 23%!!
Note in the Shadow Stats chart above how John William's numbers that track how it used to be calculated are on an ascending path, while the current numbers from the BLS are on a descending path! There you have it, right there – the BLS has manipulated the numbers so badly they are simply false, a giant lie.
The Birth Death Model, as I expected, subtracted jobs as November is a corrective month for that ridiculous model. Thus it pulled numbers from the supposed job creation, that is one reason why the headline number missed as most people don't account for this particular manipulation:
The Alternate Table is also affected by the Participation Rate, still U-6 is running 15.6%, a far cry from the advertised 8.6%!
Turning back to the Participation Rate, note how it has been falling since about 1999 (chart not updated with today's figures which are lower):
Participation Rate:
Now let's take a look at the number of people the BLS says are not in the Labor Force - this number swelled by a whopping 576,000 people in just this month alone (not reflected on chart below). It adds up to a whopping 28% of the total population, and you can see is growing at an ever increasing pace:
Not in Labor Force:
Now let's look at the Mean Duration of Unemployment again. Tell me how it goes to historic highs while at the same time the Unemployment Rate is supposedly falling? One is lying, guess which one…
Mean Duration of Unemployment:
Now let's take a look at something interesting… Below is a chart showing the number of Unemployed in thousands (blue), along with the advertised baloney Unemployment Rate. Note how prior to about 1975 they track one another pretty well, but since that time the gap between the two is getting wider and wider! Let's just call that the Reality Gap! The numbers of unemployed are rising and hitting new highs while at the same time the advertised rate is not making new highs:
Reality Gap:
Now, who can tell me what is wrong with the following chart? In blue is the Mean Duration of Unemployment, and in red is the advertised Unemployment Rate. Note what's been happening since 2010… at no time prior has there ever been a disconnect like that with the rate supposedly falling while at the same time the duration of unemployment is skyrocketing – again, which one is lying?
More Reality Gap:
The bottom line for me is that it is clear the data is being manipulated and that the separation between reality and the spin is growing wider. It's my belief this is all a part of the tendency to hold onto power. Power emanates from the ability to create money – it is that power that gives the ability to write and to rewrite the current rule of law, regardless of whether that law conforms to our Constitution or to any semblance of a proper and natural rule of law.
Manipulation of the data at this point aims to ensure the status quo. Note the headline on CNN immediately following the release of this report: Jobless Rate Plummets!
I'm not sure that pointing out this disconnect is worth the effort at this point. I think the impossible math they've created is expressing itself now in a myriad of ways and they are obviously desperate and taking desperate actions to hold onto that power. These are all a part of the "other events" that I've been talking about for years. More are on the way, it's far from over, and 8.6% is nothing but a huge lie…
I, Nathan Martin, no longer consent to the lies.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have wasted little time reshaping their roster, hoping to get the franchise back in the right direction after it took a step back last season.
Detroit cut Titus Young, a second-round pick two years ago, and released two veteran starters, Kyle Vanden Bosch and guard Stephen Peterman, from both sides of the line.
"We need to make changes," Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said Thursday. "Obviously, things aren't going in the right direction."
The Lions lost the last eight games of the season, plummeting to a 4-12 record, a year after they were in the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season.
Mayhew made his first major move as soon as he could, cutting Young on Monday after deciding not to wait in the hopes of getting something -- even a seventh-round pick -- in return for the troubled and talented wide receiver.
"He didn't really have any trade value," Mayhew said.
The St. Louis Rams thought enough of Young's potential to pick him up off waivers on Tuesday. He was banished from the Lions three times last year because of his behavior, including once for punching teammate Louis Delmas when the veteran safety wasn't looking. And, he recently lashed out at the team on Twitter.
"If y'all going to cut me let me go," Young posted on his Twitter account last month. "I'm tired of the threats."
Detroit coach Jim Schwartz insisted Young's recent posts didn't have a lot to do with releasing Young.
"The Titus move was about removing a distraction," Schwartz said.
Detroit drafted Young out of Boise State and he had 48 receptions for 607 yards and six touchdowns as a rookie. His production dropped off last season despite the Lions trying various ways to keep him in line.
"We exhausted all of our resources trying to keep him productive and keep him in a team mode," Schwartz said. "At some point, the player has to have responsibility.
"It was a big disappointment that it came to what it came to."
Detroit's other two moves were strictly business.
Vanden Bosch and Peterman, both of whom were released Tuesday, were respected and relatively productive players. Vanden Bosch had 15½ sacks in 43 games for the Lions and Peterman started all 48 games for them over the past three years.
But letting them go with a year left on their contracts and parting ways with Young clears $8-plus million in salary cap space.
Mayhew said he plans to spend that money "wisely" on the market in March.
The Lions brought back most of the players from their 2011 team, hoping they could return to the postseason and help the franchise win its second playoff game since 1957. They didn't add a significant newcomer last year, but plan to find at least one this offseason.
"We were a non-player in free agency last year so we'll definitely be a bigger player," Mayhew said. "We do plan to make some moves."
In addition to trying to find a veteran, or two, to give the team a boost, Mayhew hopes extend quarterback Matthew Stafford's contract for short-term help with the salary cap and a long-term gain with the leader under center the Lions have needed for decades. Stafford signed a six-year deal in 2009 with $41.7 million in guarantees that was worth as much as $78 million.
The Lions hope 42-year-old Jason Hanson returns and that veteran offensive tackle Jeff Backus chooses to continue his career.
Mayhew said he wouldn't use the franchise tag on defensive end Cliff Avril, who was tagged last season and made $10.6 million, or any other player.
"It doesn't make sense for us right now," he said.
The Lions might make more moves to restructure contracts, perhaps with receiver Nate Burleson and center Dominic Raiola, but Mayhew doesn't think the team needs to start over as it did after the team went 0-16 in 2008. He is confident last year was an aberration because of Stafford, All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson along with defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley.
"We've got some strengths on our team that we can build around," Mayhew said. "It's not so much a rebuild."

DETROIT – Former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's knee pain stems from an old football injury he suffered while playing for Florida A&M.
Kilpatrick's attorney is telling the judge he is in significant pain, feels unsafe and doesn't know whether he will be able to get around the Milan Federal Correctional Facility due to the pain. Kilpatrick is being held there while he awaits sentencing for federal corruption convictions. He already has been denied bond twice.
Read: Judge denies bond request for Kwame Kilpatrick
After a conference with the U.S. Attorney on the case, the U.S. Marshals, the judge and Kilpatrick's attorney Jim Thomas, the judge is not letting Kilpatrick go anywhere.
Prior medical records show an old injury that has some arthritis. Kilpatrick is complaining of major pain and fluid build up on the knee.
The former mayor was evaluated on Friday. If the medical staff at Milan does not believe the injury can be treated at the prison, Kilpatrick can be taken off the property by the U.S. Marshals for treatment.
However, according to the judge, a bad knee is no reason to be allowed out on bond.

Baseball is a ball game played between two teams, each of nine players.
You need a glove (the catcher and first baseman use mitts) and a bat. The person with the baseball bat hits the ball and the person with the glove or mitt tries to catch the ball and do it 5 times (or your choice). The pitches that the pitcher throws are either balls or strikes. A strike is a pitch that is thrown within the strike zone. Traditionally the strike zone is a pitch thrown across the plate and between the knees and uniform letters of the player and not outside of the sides of the home plate. A ball is a pitch thrown outside this area. It is important to remember that final call on whether a pitch is a strike or ball is decided by the home plate umpire.
The game baseball is played on a field called a diamond. The infield is made up of a home plate, first base, second base and third base, set up in a diamond shape. The total number of players that can play on the diamond at one time is 9 (defensive). There is a pitcher (who throws the ball to the batter), the catcher, catches the ball thrown by the pitcher. There is a first baseman who catches the balls hit to the infielders and mans first base. The second baseman plays in between first and second base. Next to the second baseman on the other side of second base, between second base and third base is the shortstop. This position was originally called the shortfielder because it was play in the outfield in front of the outfielders and behind the infielders. The outfield consists of three players: left, middle, and right field. All are located in the grass far beyond the diamond.
The bat is made of wood or aluminum. At younger levels aluminum is used, while in professional leagues they use wooden bats.
The Major League Baseball (MLB) is recognized as the premier league to play baseball with the top talent in the world. In the MLB, there are 30 teams in two separate leagues, the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). Each of the 30 teams plays 162 games, not including the playoffs. There are 6 divisions, 3 per league, with teams ranging from 3 to 6 in each league. In the playoffs, there are 3 rounds prior to the World Series, which determines the champion for that year.
In 2011 the St Louis Cardinals defeated the Texas Rangers 4 games to 3 to win the World Series. In 2012 The Florida Marlins had their name changed to the Miami Marlins.

Enormous progress has been made towards reaching the MDGs. After 2015, efforts to achieve a world of prosperity, equity, freedom, dignity and peace for all the world's people will continue unabated.
At the September 2010 MDG Summit, UN Member States initiated steps towards advancing the development agenda beyond 2015 and are now leading a process of extensive consultations on the post-2015 agenda.
The UN is working with governments, civil society and other partners to build on the momentum generated by the MDGs and carry on with an ambitious post-2015 development agenda.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has established a UN System Task Team to coordinate preparations for beyond 2015. In July 2012, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the establishment of a High-level Panel of Eminent Persons to advise on the global development framework beyond 2015. The work of the Panel will reflect new development challenges while also drawing on experience gained from the MDGs. The Panel will deliver its report to the Secretary-General in May 2013.
To support the Secretary-General in the preparations towards a post-2015 development framework, the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) is carrying out broad consultation processes. Those consultations include national dialogues on the post- 2015 development agenda in more than 50 developing countries, eleven multi-stakeholder thematic consultations on a wide range of issues, and an outreach process to citizens and stakeholders in all countries, utilizing social media.
The High-level Committee on Programme (HLCP) took up the issue of the post-2015 development agenda at its second session in 2012. At the session, the Committee reflected on the challenge to foster coherence and coordination among the various processes and the need for convergence and integration of the various dimensions of development. The UN system has an important contribution to make in this regard.

Edmunds Says
Fittingly, the Mustang is the last surviving member of the "pony car" breed. For the 2004 Ford Mustang, the Anniversary Edition should give enthusiasts something to brag about.
What's New
With an all-new model scheduled for '05, there are few changes for the 2004 Ford Mustang. All models wear commemorative 40th anniversary exterior badging, while V6 and GT models can be ordered with a full 40th anniversary package that includes additional exterior and interior enhancements.Read more
Available V8 power, variety of trim levels, healthy dose of American attitude.
The Ford Mustang debuted in April of 1964 as either a coupe or convertible with six or eight cylinders under the hood, and became a national sensation. Ford sold hundreds of thousands of Mustangs, convincing General Motors and Chrysler Corporation to release their own variations on the theme. By the late 1960s, the Mustang competed against the AMC Javelin, Chevrolet Camaro, Plymouth Barracuda and Pontiac Firebird. But, like Elvis Presley, the Mustang had evolved from lightweight and simple agile to overweight and cumbersome. By the time the oil crisis of 1973 hit, the Mustang had lost its edge in terms of performance and appeal. Reborn for 1974, the much smaller Mustang II rode on a Pinto platform to save development costs and improve fuel economy. Emissions regulations had stifled performance, and the convertible model had disappeared from the lineup. The mid-1970s represented a dismal time for the American automobile industry, and the emasculation of the Ford Mustang is perhaps the greatest example of what went wrong in the middle of this decade. Not surprisingly, sales reached an all-time low during this period of time. Still, Ford wasn't ready to give up on the Mustang. In 1979, it was completely redesigned. There was even a performance model with a turbocharged 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine, and a stripes-and-decals Cobra version. The new Mustang proved popular, and by 1982, Ford had endowed it with a relatively strong (for the time) V8 engine and the GT designation that continues today. General Motors released a sexy new Camaro and Firebird duo in '82, so Ford countered by continually updating the Mustang GT and engineering a special turbocharged performance model called the SVO. In the late 1980s, Mustang enthusiasts heard that Ford planned to replace the rear-drive model with a front-drive car based on a Mazda. Recoiling in revulsion, these purists bombarded Ford with hate mail, effectively convincing corporate brass to keep the all-American Mustang as it was and release the new vehicle under development as the Probe. This delay meant Ford needed to market the existing and aged Mustang beyond its expiration date until a suitable replacement could be styled and engineered. To retain buyer interest, Ford kept boosting power and improving the Mustang in subtle but effective ways. The new car arrived in 1994 wearing retro styling cues such as tri-bar taillights and a side scoop. Inside, a dual-cowl dashboard provided plenty of pizzazz. A coupe and convertible were available, with either a V6 or V8 engine. A Cobra model with added horsepower and special performance upgrades paced the Indianapolis 500 that year. In 1999, the Mustang was updated with boxy new styling and more power. The 2004 Ford Mustang appeals to those who love the burble of a V8, the handling of rear-wheel drive and the appeal of a legendary car with a long and storied history. For 2004, Ford will offer a 40th Anniversary trim package to commemorate the longevity of the original American muscle car.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
Base, Deluxe and Premium models have a V6 engine. The GT Deluxe, GT Premium and Mach 1 get a V8. Coupes are available in each trim, while the convertible is limited to regular and GT versions of Deluxe and Premium trim. Standard equipment on base models includes 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, a CD player and power windows, mirrors and locks. Deluxe models add a power driver seat, cruise control and a spoiler on coupes; additionally, the GT Deluxe gets 17-inch wheels, an upgraded suspension, sport seats and a limited-slip differential. Premium models come with leather upholstery, an upgraded sound system and a CD changer. The 40th Anniversary Package is available on all Premium models (either engine) and specifies either red, black or white exterior paint; special Arizona Beige wheels; brushed aluminum pedals; and embroidered floor mats, while deleting the spoiler on coupes and adding a better-insulated cloth top on convertibles. The limited-production Mach 1 includes a functional shaker hood with ram-air scoop; special interior detailing; unique alloy wheels and exterior trim; a lowered, retuned sport suspension; and upgraded brakes.
Powertrains and Performance
Standard on base, Deluxe and Premium Mustangs is a 190-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6. Step up to the GT Deluxe and GT Premium, and you'll get a 260-horsepower, 4.6-liter V8. The Mach 1 gets a tweaked version of this V8 worthy of 310 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. All Mustangs are rear-drive and can be equipped with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on the 2004 Ford Mustang. Antilock brakes and traction control are optional on all Deluxe models and standard on all Premium and Mach 1 models. The Mustang coupe received five-star frontal crash test scores for the driver and passenger. Side-impact testing resulted in three-star scores for both front- and rear-seat occupants.
Interior Design and Special Features
Instrumentation is simple and controls are straightforward, if sometimes hard to locate and reach. Seats in the V6 and GT models are flat and featureless; the Mach 1's seats offer a retro design to go along with their stiffer bolsters and greater adjustability. You can spruce up the interior by adding the 40th Anniversary Package, which bundles together metallic trim, aluminum pedals, embroidered floor mats and upgraded head restraints. It's not uncommon for Mustang drivers to find it difficult to achieve a comfortable driving position. This is because of the rather awkward placement of the shifter and steering wheel in relation to the driver seat.
Driving Impressions
Mustangs are crude by modern standards, but strong engines and low prices keep them plenty desirable next to the more refined sport coupes and convertibles on the market. The performance-oriented Mach 1 is a terrific blend of power, handling and retro design, while the GT offers V8 power for under $25,000. Even V6 models can be entertaining when equipped with a manual transmission. Both the GT and the V6 make fine daily drivers, especially for those who crave tail-out thrills and don't mind a less-than-ideal seating position.

Dru and I were recently featured on Herding Code Podcast. In the podcast we talk about everything from package management in general to Nubular (Nu) to other package management systems (OpenWrap, Bricks, and Horn, although horn was/is slightly different) to the possibility of Microsoft releasing a package management system. It was a good time and I enjoyed doing the podcast, but the herding code guys start recording at an insane 10:30 PM! I have no idea how I made it through the whole thing and was still able to talk afterwards.
Some highlights:
Check out the herding code podcast and notes for more. I didn't keep track of certain times for interesting bits in the beginning of the podcast, but Ben Griswold does an excellent job on the notes from the podcast.

We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

I'm watching what's happening at Nestlé with a lot of interest. I think we should all be watching carefully.
If you're not up to speed, here's what's happening.
Greenpeace has targeted Nestlé in a campaign against palm oil. Here's the Greenpeace Orangutan web site. And here's some good background on the story.
Twitter is aggressively and gleefully helicoptering in enormous vats of gasoline to pour into the anti-Nestlé firestorm.
And, precisely on cue, the Internet's townspeople have gathered their pitchforks and torches to storm the castle.
Here's the Nestlé "fan" page on Facebook. Yikes.
Some of the snarkiest anti-Nestlé voices are from self-appointed social media experts. There's a little too much glee for my tastes about picking on a company that has found itself in trouble.
Has Nestlé handled this unexpected attack flawlessly? Perhaps not. But none of us are perfect. And that goes double when the stakes are high.
Before You Break Out Your Own Pitchfork…
The attack on Nestlé is not entirely fair.
They are not the only company on Earth that buys palm oil. Palm oil is widely used in the production of food and cosmetics.
And it's not like they're callously ignoring the issue, either.
As The Guardian points out, like Unilever and Kraft, Nestlé is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a consortium of buyers and producers promoting sustainably produced palm oil.
It's all unfolding now, but a few lessons seem clear:
- Social media gurus advocate "giving up control of your brand" and "conducting business transparently". This can be fun when people are on your side. Nestlé is learning that it's a lot less fun when they're not.
- When you give up control of your brand people may not treat it the way you would like.
- Transparency means people will see you naked sometimes. You will not always look good naked.
- It's a bad idea to "engage with consumers openly" when it suits you, and then slam down the castle gate when the mob turns ugly.
- When the crowd turns against you, all the "sharing" tools you have given them can — and will — be turned against you too.
- There are a group of people who relish "sticking it to the man". They will always be first in line handing out pitchforks and torches.
I'm not suggesting that companies should avoid social media entirely.
What I am saying is that companies that do go there need to go in with their eyes wide open. Social media is like anything else in life. There are risks and rewards. And it's not always easy going.
Lastly, beware the advice to abandon control of your brand. You are responsible for your brand's success or failure, and you can't crowdsource the job or make excuses when things get tough.
To borrow a line from an old song, "it's a thin line between love and hate".
Nestlé is a great company in a tough spot. I'm rooting for Nestlé to get this right, in every sense: not just the crisis management issue but the longer-term product issue.

WASHINGTON – The Food and Drug Administration is detaining imports of cucumbers from a Mexican company after they were linked to salmonella illnesses in 18 states.
The FDA placed the restrictions against Daniel Cardenas Izabal and Miracle Greenhouse of Culiacán, Mexico. The alert means the United States won't accept the imports unless the company can show testing that proves the cucumbers are safe.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday that 73 people may have been sickened by the cucumbers.
Salmonella can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within a few days of eating a contaminated product. Salmonella can be life-threatening to those with weakened immune systems.
The cucumbers were distributed by Tricar Sales, Inc. of Rio Rico, Arizona. California reported the most illnesses, with 28 people sickened.

Arabs' man, 'corrupted Arab-oil man' in Obama's admin. 'Pro – Dictatorship, 'ARABIST – BIGOT' C. Freeman attempted appointment for the CIA
Alarming appointment at the CIA by Steve Rosen Thu, 19 Feb 2009 at 3:55 PM
Readers of this blog know that I have been generally quite positive about the appointments the new Adminsitration is making for Middle East policy positions. Today's news is quite different. According to Laura Rozen at the Foreign Policy blog, Chas W. Freeman, Jr., the former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, will become chairman of the National Intelligence Council, and may at times participate in daily intelligence briefings to President Obama. This is a profoundly disturbing appointment, if the report is correct. Freeman is a strident critic of Israel, and a textbook case of the old-line Arabism that afflicted American diplomacy at the time the state of Israel was born. His views of the region are what you would expect in the Saudi foreign ministry, with which he maintains an extremely close relationship, not the top CIA position for analytic products going to the President of the United States.
Here is a sample of his views on Israel, from his Remarks to the National Council on US-Arab Relations on September 12, 2005: "As long as the United States continues unconditionally to provide the subsidies and political protection that make the Israeli occupation and the high-handed and self-defeating policies it engenders possible, there is little, if any, reason to hope that anything resembling the former peace process can be resurrected. Israeli occupation and settlement of Arab lands is inherently violent. …And as long as such Israeli violence against Palestinians continues, it is utterly unrealistic to expect that Palestinians will stand down from violent resistance and retaliation against Israelis. Mr. Sharon is far from a stupid man; he understands this. So, when he sets the complete absence of Palestinian violence as a precondition for implementing the road map or any other negotiating process, he is deliberately setting a precondition he knows can never be met." Here is another example from 2008: "We have reflexively supported the efforts of a series of right-wing Israeli governments to undo the Oslo accords and to pacify the Palestinians rather than make peace with them. … The so-called "two-state solution" – is widely seen in the region as too late and too little. Too late, because so much land has been colonized by Israel that there is not enough left for a viable Palestinian state alongside Israel; too little, because what is on offer looks to Palestinians more like an Indian reservation than a country."
According to Foreign policy blog, Freeman has told associates that in the job, he will occasionally accompany Director of National Intelligence Adm. Dennis Blair to give the president his daily intelligence briefing. His predecessor, Thomas Fingar, wore a second hat as deputy director of national intelligence for analysis.
I repeat: if there are serious financial conflicts of interest, Freeman should withdraw. I also find some of Freeman's realist statements, even as contrarian, a little too brutal for my taste. But I also believe that someone whose views push the envelope against recent US policy in the Middle East is an important asset for the United States right now. And I find the hysterical bullying of this man to be repulsive.

LOS ANGELES, July 30 (UPI) -- Adrienne Bailon has angered Kim Kardashian with her comments about Rob Kardashian.
The 30-year-old actress spoke out about her ex in an interview for Latina's September issue. Adrienne and Rob dated for two years before they broke up in 2009 amid rumors he had been unfaithful, and the former Disney star told the magazine the relationship harmed her and her career.
"To be stuck with that Kardashian label, that was so hurtful to me and to my career," she said. "Not that it would've affected my decisions in terms of who I dated, but it would've affected my decision to appear on [Keeping Up with the Kardashians] ... To this day, people will still say, 'You ruined Rob's life!' and I'll think, Damn, I was still playing with Barbie dolls when I met him."
"It's common knowledge that he cheated on me," Adrienne confirmed. "It's always bothered me that people were like, 'Pero, why couldn't you forgive him?' Why are women always the ones who have to forgive? If you cheated on a man, he would be like, 'You're disgusting, and I want nothing to do with you.' But women, we're supposed to be like, 'He messed up. He made a mistake.' And, in my situation, it wasn't like, 'Oh my God! He made a mistake!' He strategically planned things out so that he could cheat on me, and that to me was so disloyal."
Rob's sister Kim Kardashian responded to the article by slamming Adrienne on Twitter. The reality star tweeted, "Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian," and said "#LetItGoooooLetItGoooooo (FROZEN VOICE)." She followed up with, "So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down. #FamilyForever."
Adrienne started dating Def Jam Records executive Lenny Santiago shortly after she and Rob broke up, and the actress said she and Lenny are in "a great, strong place where any negativity cast our way won't affect us" and declared she'd "marry him, like, right now." Rob has struggled with personal issues and his weight in recent years, and sister Khloe Kardashian and mother Kris Jenner recently expressed concern for his health and well-being.
