We hear a lot about hero dads who defend their children against the dark forces of the world. There's the dad who beat his 4-year-old daughter's would-be molester to death. And the hero dad who chased down a man who allegedly tried to snatch his 2-year-old. What you don't hear about so often is a different kind of bravery -- one that doesn't require fists or chasing. One that doesn't require anger or vengeance but doesn't require a whole lot of courage. And that is the kind of dad who forgives the teen who killed his own son, and who not only forgives him, but hugs him.
It all started in Grand Rapids, Michigan, when Takunda Mavima, who was 17 at the time, had just been to a party celebrating his high school graduation. At the party there was alcohol. Takunda drank more than the legal limit. And he got in his car. And he ended up killing two other teens, who were in the car that Takunda hit. One of those teens was Tim See.
Tim's father, also named Tim, spoke on behalf of Takunda at his sentencing. Here is an extraordinary thing that Tim said in court:
I promised myself one thing that day. I promised myself I would not get angry.
Wow. Who could not get angry at this? He had every right to get angry. But he knew that getting angry would not bring his son back. He knew it would not change anything. It would only poison him. So he has campaigned for Takunda, asking the judge not to send him to jail:
I am begging you to let Takunda make something of himself in the real world-- don't send him to prison and get hard and bitter, that boy has learned his lesson a thousand times over and he'll never make the same mistake again.
Tim knew that the way to peace is forgiveness, not revenge. It also helps that Takunda has been very remorseful and apologetic.
Takunda was sentenced to jail anyway, as there are mandatory jail sentences with drunk driving in Wyoming. But the judge gave him the the lesser amount. In a heartbreaking but incredibly inspirational moment, Tim hugged Takunda after his sentencing.
Honestly, if there were more people like Tim See, Sr. in the world, it would be a much better place.
Could you forgive in this scenario?

KDE Configuration Tamers
KDE is known to be remarkably configurable. Unfortunately up till now there was no GUI application exposing that. The problem got more evident with the coming of the wonderful KConfig XT framework. Developers and administrators wanted to have nice graphical tools to edit and create configurations. KDE developers listened. We introduce three applications which let administrators and developers take full control over their desktops.
Kiosk Admin Tool - A Point & Click tool for system administrators to enable KDE's KIOSK features or otherwise preconfigure KDE for groups of users.
KConfigEditor - First preview release of a desktop configurator. Note that this is a preview release and while the version released along KDE 3.3 will support editting of GNOME configuration and exporting changes as KJSEmbed scripts - this version doesn't.
KCfgCreator - Application which should be used by developers to create configurations for their applications. It can be used to migrate older applications to KConfig XT. It allows developers to use KConfig XT without knowing anything about it.
Please note that during KDE Community World Summit 2004 prominent KDE hackers Waldo Bastian and David Faure will give a one day tutorial about mass administration of KDE Desktop Workstations.
Kiosk Admin Tool Graphics
Maybe waldo should ask kde-artists for some new graphics in Kiosk Admin Tool before showing it off in akademy :-)

Re: Kiosk Admin Tool Graphics
Kiosk is still a work-in-progress really. Functionally it is getting there, and then perhaps its look and feel can be talked about. Maybe it might become a KPart and be integrated into Control Centre in some way? Don't know.

Hu? Locking down code is wide-spread within different KDE components.
Re: Kiosk Admin Tool Graphics
> What is missing?
Well, as Waldo says it is in KDE Extragear and it still needs to be more widely used.
> Hu? Locking down code is wide-spread within different KDE components.
I meant the configuration tool. It may become part of the Control Centre, or as part of the admin tools.

KDE's uniform look'n'feel
I see: a few apps on my KDE desktop that come with their own look'n'feel.
I hope: this will not end up in the look'n'feel hell that windows is in right now, cauz all styles tend to mix there. To name a few: 98, XP (luna), XP-mediaplayer, XP-office (i.e. different toolbars), XP-software/update-dialogs and OSX (QuickTime, iTunes). And several apps ship there own style (Norton, RealPlayer, AdAware). This is bad looking'n'feeling in my eyes.
I think: KDE will be smart enough to avoid this problem. IN the future this will become a big advantage that KDE ill have over other desktop experiences.
I greet: all of you and wish you a pleasant day...
By cies at Sat, 2004/07/10 - 5:00am
Dear God the KCfgCreator looks so freakin' cool! I Know I have been messing with KConfig XT and have been struggling grasping it. I hopw this will help.
KConfigEditor looks promising, It would be cool if it can not only edit desktop preferences but things in /etc too, like /etc/fstab for example.
'twold be nice -- but I doubt it would happen. Stuff like that is usually left to the distro.

KDE for Linux/Unix Admin :)
thank you developers for making kde administrable. KDE 3.3 must have to have these stuff in KDE Admin package.

By anonymous poster at Fri, 2004/07/09 - 5:00am
Package Placement?
The placement of these packages seems way wrong. Why are they in KDE Extra Gear?
KConfigEditor and Kiosk Admin Tool surely belong in kdeadmin. They would be extremely usefull to any administrator, and I fear too many people will miss them in kdeextragear ( many people do not install the KEG packages ).
KCfgCreater surely belongs in kdesdk. Its not usefull to anyone who is not a developer.
By Jason Keirstead at Fri, 2004/07/09 - 5:00am
Re: Package Placement?
They are immature?
Re: Package Placement?
Kiosk Admin Tool is in KDE Extra Gear because I want to be able to have fast release-cycles.

GNOME Support
Finally a KDE tool to turn off spatial Nautilus mode! ;-)
Please no GConf
Please no GConf in KDE and no GConf variant or something hidden with a different name but being GConf in core.
By Martin Göring at Mon, 2004/07/12 - 5:00am
Re: Please no GConf
Please have more trust in the KDE developers. IMHO they did pretty well so far. :-)

Love of Teaching Excites Stephens about Kent State
Dr. Margaret C. "Peggy" Stephens is joining the public health faculty to focus on teaching and to serve as a resource for grant development. She'll be teaching Public Health Research and Social Determinants of Health Behaviors. Stephens, who has a background in substance abuse and prevention, comes to Kent State from The University of Akron, where she was associate professor in public administration and urban studies. She is a long-time colleague of Dean Sonia Alemagno. "We've collaborated for many years on research projects related to health policy and substance abuse treatment," says Stephens. Working with students is her passion. "I love to work with students as a teacher and to help further their research agendas," she says. Teaching undergraduates for the first time in 10 years this fall, Stephens looks forward to the Kent State classroom. "Public health students in general have a higher level of real-world experience. When students come prepared with the fundamentals, it's a whole different way of teaching. I'm very excited," she says. In addition to teaching, Stephens will be available to assist faculty and graduate students with grant development, owing to her strengths in quantitative methods and research design. At The University of Akron, she served on 18 dissertation committees, chairing a half-dozen.

I'm a few days late for writing this, but I did try to do Challenge #29 and at the beginning of last week added a Will dated 1545 for Jone Reade as it was a perfect example of why I needed to practice reading handwriting such as this. This particular Will is one that I really can't decipher anything on so I was hoping that by doing this Challenge I would get to be able to read at least some of it by the end of last week.
Well, I have to say I am none the wiser regarding this Will, even though I checked the links and suggestions I was given in my comments section by very helpful ladies.
I liked the suggestion to go to Staples and have a large copy of the Will done, but our Staples is quite a long way away and because of other things, I wasn't able to get there to get a large copy!!
Another suggestion was to use Picasa and so I went to use it only to find they had a download only for XP and Vista. My poor computer died last year, so we now have Windows 7 and there was nowhere I could see to do a download for that.
I did a browse for Windows 7 and Picasa and found some forums that seemed to have people writing in with problems with Windows 7 and Picasa, so thought it best to leave that for now!!
At the Scanfest last night I "met" Jasia who has the Creative Gene blog and she told me that Picasa is ok with her Windows 7, but although I now will give it a try, it's a bit late to be included in this Challenge.
OK, there were still the links to tutorials and information about old handwriting. I gave them a go, but they did not really help at all with my particular Will that I so wanted to decipher. But, I did find some examples of English Wills of the 1500s and managed to see the alphabet, which is a great help.
I also learned that as well as abbreviations, some of which I already know from other Wills, the people of that time (and later) wrote in a kind of shorthand that they all knew (well, those that could read and write of course). I had no previous knowledge of this and so knowing that a little squiggle after a certain letter means something and a little squiggle over the end of a word means it's a longer word and a little squiggle somewhere else means something else is a great help. I now know to look for the shorthand letters instead of trying to make out a word that I can't decipher when it might be one of those shorthand words. Wonderful.
So, although I did not succeed in deciphering the Will in time for the end of the week's Challenge, I have learned quite a bit that is really going to help and so for me this is an ongoing Challenge and one day you might just see the undecipherable (indecipherable(?)) Will being featured with a transcript on Amanuensis Monday!!

Lumen Gentium rejected a notion of a clergy-first institution. One of the consequences of starting with the People of God is that naturally the duties and responsibilities of that people are also emphasized. Every believer is called to witness to the Word:
6. The renewal of the Church is also achieved through the witness offered by the lives of believers: by their very existence in the world, Christians are called to radiate the word of truth that the Lord Jesus has left us. The Council itself, in the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium, said this: While "Christ, 'holy, innocent and undefiled' (Heb 7:26) knew nothing of sin (cf. 2 Cor 5:21), but came only to expiate the sins of the people (cf. Heb 2:17)… the Church … clasping sinners to its bosom, at once holy and always in need of purification, follows constantly the path of penance and renewal. The Church, 'like a stranger in a foreign land, presses forward amid the persecutions of the world and the consolations of God', announcing the cross and death of the Lord until he comes (cf. 1 Cor 11:26). But by the power of the risen Lord it is given strength to overcome, in patience and in love, its sorrow and its difficulties, both those that are from within and those that are from without, so that it may reveal in the world, faithfully, although with shadows, the mystery of its Lord until, in the end, it shall be manifested in full light."(Lumen Gentium, 8.)
In a word, grace. God's grace enables the Church and its believers to give that shadowed, imperfect witness.

The White House's terrible, horrible Friday spills over… Why the IRS story packs a bigger political punch… The White House's slow response to both the IRS and Benghazi stories… Q&A time for Obama: He holds joint press conference with British PM David Cameron at 11:15 am ET… Recapping Rand Paul's speech in Cedar Rapids, IA… New Gomez internal shows him trailing Markey by just 3 pts… New Cuccinelli ad focuses on the economy, taxes.. And Herseth Sandlin won't run in SD.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney during his daily news briefing at the White House, Friday, May, 10, 2013. Carney responded on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, calling on top-to-bottom review of the Obama administration after the IRS admitted that it had targeted conservative groups during the 2012 election.
*** The White House's terrible, horrible Friday spills over: Everything that happened last Friday -- the reporting on the revisions to the Benghazi talking points, the news that the IRS had targeted conservative groups, reporters pummeling White House Press Secretary Jay Carney at his briefing -- represented the White House's worst day since the first presidential debate. And it all spilled over to the Sunday shows and today's news. As the Washington Post now reports, "At various points over the past two years, Internal Revenue Service officials singled out for scrutiny not only groups with 'tea party' or 'patriot' in their names but also nonprofit groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution, according to documents in an audit conducted by the agency's inspector general." Indeed, the IRS story is bigger long-term problem for the Obama administration than perhaps it realized on Friday afternoon when its initial response lacked a real sense of outrage.
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd talks about the continuing investigation by House Republicans into the attack.
*** IRS story packs a bigger political punch: One reason why is because Benghazi has already been litigated so much (at congressional hearings, at two presidential debates, during Susan Rice's consideration for the secretary of state job). But Friday's revelation that the IRS had targeted conservative-sounding names (and not liberal-sounding ones) in applications for tax-exempt status will trigger new congressional hearings and new questions for the president and his team. More significantly, the IRS news is a political gift to a Republican Party whose base was strained on immigration (remember that Heritage Foundation study?) and even on guns (remember the tough questions Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Jeff Flake were getting?). Now, you're seeing a GOP base united by two things they absolutely dislike: President Obama and the Internal Revenue Service. The news also is a gift to Republicans like Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, or any incumbent Republican in Washington hoping to avoid a tough primary in 2014 -- they get to demagogue the heck out of this story and show they will stand up for the Tea Party.
*** Slow ride, take it easy: For the Obama White House, if there's one common theme to both the Benghazi and IRS stories, it's how slowly it responded to them. It's something that Sen. Dianne Feinstein alluded to on "Meet the Press" yesterday when NBC's David Gregory asked her what she would have liked to see Obama or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton do different after Benghazi. "Oh, to move faster. To say, 'Yes, this was in fact a terrorist act.' I mean, it was so evident." When Gregory asked her why the administration dragged its heels, Feinstein responded, "I think this is a cautious administration. You see it in other respects." That's a kind interpretation. On Benghazi, the White House is essentially leading reporters to believe they were ultimately refereeing a bureaucratic turf fight between the CIA and State. But they also, when questioned, claim they'd do nothing differently other than -- perhaps -- delay giving a public accounting even further in the hours and days after the attack. When it comes to this Benghazi controversy, the questions for non-partisans (because partisans are searching only for what supports what they believe): Why did State push for the big change in the talking points? Was this about pushing back on the CIA, because it thought the agency was deflecting responsibility since the Benghazi outpost was more CIA than State? Was this about State doing CYA regarding CIA warnings about diplomatic security?
*** Q&A time for Obama: Don't be surprised if these two stories -- Benghazi and the IRS -- come up at President Obama's joint press conference with British PM David Cameron at 11:15 am ET. Afterward, Obama travels to New York City, where he hits two DNC fundraisers and then a joint DSCC/DCCC event. Also today, Vice President Biden delivers the commencement address at the University of Pennsylvania.
*** Cedar Rapids: Outside of Washington… Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had a pretty important weekend in Iowa. The dispatch from NBC's Mike O'Brien: "On Friday, Sen. Rand Paul put his stake in the ground for a possible run in 2016 by mocking the Obama administration and delivering a blistering critique of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. The administration has been criticized for failing to provide security during the attack and for its characterization of the incident afterward. Speaking at the Iowa GOP's annual Lincoln Dinner, Paul questioned the initial response to the attacks and asked, 'First question to Hillary Clinton: Where in the hell were the Marines?' 'It was inexcusable, it was a dereliction of duty, and it should preclude her from holding higher office,' the Kentucky Republican added to loud applause" at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Cedar Rapids, IA. Also, speaking of Paul in Iowa, don't miss the story in the Washington Post about Rand Paul's concerted effort to reach out to evangelicals, a core GOP constituency that Rand's father Ron, rarely courted and usually alienated.
*** New Gomez internal poll shows him trailing Markey by 3 points: In Massachusetts' special Senate election, which takes place next month, the Gabriel Gomez (R) campaign has released an internal poll (conducted May 5-7) showing him trailing Ed Markey (D) by just three points, 46%-43%, with 11% undecided. That's in contrast to independent surveys conducted around the same that finds Markey with larger leads (46%-38% per WBUR and 52%-35% per Suffolk). According to the Gomez internal poll, the Republican has a 14-point lead among independents (50%-36%) and is carrying Republican by a 94%-3% clip. Yet Markey leads among Democrats by just 73%-12%. (The question to ask: Does that continue to hold up?) The timing of the release of this Gomez internal poll is important: It comes after Democrats had hammered Gomez on news that he "claimed a $281,500 income tax deduction in 2005 for pledging not to make any visible changes to the facade of his 112-year-old Cohasset home… But Gomez and his wife, Sarah, were already barred from making any changes to the exterior of their home under the bylaws of the local Historical Commission, raising the question as to whether their donation — the price of which is based on the loss of value in their real estate — had any monetary worth." Meanwhile, the National Republican Senatorial Committee has a new web video hitting Markey for the "bounced check" scandal of the early 1990s.
*** New Cuccinelli ad focuses on the economy, taxes: In Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli (R) is up with his second TV ad of the race, and the spot is all about the economy. "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy," Cuccinelli says to the camera. "But they are being overtaxed and over regulated I've a plan to make Virginia an engine for job growth It starts with closing tax loopholes and putting an end to special interest giveaways. We'll use the savings to cut taxes for those who've earned it." Last week, NBC's Mike O'Brien reported that Cuccinelli's $1.4 billion tax plan "would cut the personal income tax rate to 5 percent (down from 5.75 percent) and reduce the corporate tax rate to 4 percent (from 6 percent)... [T]he attorney general would help offset the $1.4 billion price tag for his tax cuts by identifying and eliminating 'outdated exemptions and loopholes that promote crony capitalism.'"
*** Herseth Sandlin won't run in SD: And in South Dakota, here's a big recruiting loss for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee: Stephanie Herseth Sandlin won't run for the Senate. MSNBC's Jessica Taylor gets comment from the DSCC, which had been bullish on Herseth Sandlin's chances of getting into the race: "There will be a strong Democratic candidate that can seize on the divisive GOP primary and provide South Dakotans with a clear alternative to the dysfunction on the Republican side. Mike Rounds is like the second coming of Tommy Thompson."

Entwife Lost stepped down from her position as Guild Matron, and she is now a Master Ringholder, the Counselor of the Rings. Our dear Entwife has done a great many things for the Guild, and has attracted a great number of the Ringbearers we have today. Together with all the MasterRingHolders we take care the Guild Member List and Updates. We may often have several different MRH's handling the Guild updates. The titled GuildMaster here is still ARCMAGUS - who was created out of the 2 Celebrated MRH's and chosen GuildMasters in a contest- Arcados and Dark Magus - You may not see them often for a few months, but they are both indeed still royalty here at the RINGS OF THE ELEMENTS GUILD.!!!

Projects Abroad in Ghana
- Arrival Airport: Accra (ACC)
"I guess I expected an Africa that you see on TV. Once you get there you find that everyone is as individual as in the west, but so much more open to ideas, and you start to see your own way of seeing things as narrow. Once you have an open mind, everything fits into place."
Anne-Marie Wortley, Teaching in Ghana
Most volunteers fly into Ghana in the evening, and the first thing that will hit you is the humidity. You will walk across the tarmac to the arrivals building, and pass through immigration control to the baggage reclaim area. Once you have your luggage, you need to go through customs, and be ready to have your bags opened by security staff as this is done routinely even when you go through the "nothing to declare" channel.
As you walk out of the airport building you will be met by a wall of people on the other side of a barrier, waving meeting signs. One of our staff will be there to meet you with a Projects Abroad sign, and will greet you with your full name (do not go with anyone who cannot tell you your name). If your placement is in Accra, you will be taken from the airport straight to your host family. If you are going to a placement away from the city you will usually stay overnight in Accra before traveling to your region the following morning.
If your flight arrives in the morning, you will travel straight to your region.
Our staff in Ghana know all our host families well. In most cases, our staff have done so for years. While levels of comfort in these houses do vary, we monitor families regularly to ensure that every host meets our required standards for such things as security, cleanliness, and availability of water.
Volunteering and Interning in Ghana – Induction and Orientation
The next working day after your arrival, you will be met at your accommodation by one of our local staff. You will spend the day getting a comprehensive induction and orientation, showing you how to get around the city, where the internet cafes are located, health and safety matters, and so on. You will also enjoy a traditional Ghanaian lunch.
The following day, a Projects Abroad staff member will take you to be introduced at your placement. Some volunteers walk to work, others take a shared taxi or mini-bus known as a tro-tro. Our staff will make sure that you know how to do this journey. If you are participating on a Standard Project, all necessary work-related transportation costs will be covered by Projects Abroad.
"I had a wonderful time with the other volunteers - especially travelling. If you wanted to do something there was always something going on."
Sarah Craig, who stayed in Accra
We have three Regional Offices in Ghana - Accra, Cape Coast, and the Akuapem Hills, meaning our field staff are never far away wherever your project is.
Your primary contact is the Regional Co-Ordinator for your area, who is the full-time member of our local staff, trained by us, with a detailed knowledge of all the projects and host families in his or her region. They are available 24 hours a day by phone if you have any questions or problems.

Why isn't Game of Thrones on Apple's iTunes?
After waiting patiently for months, iTunes customers probably won't see Game of Thrones Season 4 until next year.
HBO's exclusive deal with Foxtel stopped local competitors like iTunes and Quickflix offering week-by-week episodes of Game of Thrones in Australia this year. Rivals couldn't even offer the first episode of Season 4 until Foxtel finished screening entire season, which wrapped up on Monday. By Tuesday morning Quickflix and Google Play had all of Season 4 online, but it's still missing from the Australian iTunes store and Apple doesn't want to talk about it.
When I asked Apple's Australian PR team on Monday about plans to release the new episodes of Game of Thrones on the iTunes store I was told to "reach out to the content owners directly" – which is the kind of answer we've come to expect from Apple when it doesn't want to talk about something. It's a response which implies that HBO or local distributor Warner Bros is to blame for the situation, rather than Apple.
Following Apple's advice I did reach out to Warner Bros, which supplies Game of Thrones to Quickflix and Google Play. The Warner Bros Australian PR team put the ball squarely back in Apple's court;
"That is a question you would have to ask iTunes. Game of Thrones Season 4 is available for all of our digital partners from June 17th."
It's a response which strongly implies that Game of Thrones Season 4 is available to Apple in Australia, but it's chosen not to take it. Why? Warner Bros didn't want to discuss it further and my followup calls to Apple PR are yet to yield an answer. I don't expect to get one, even though I think iTunes customers are entitled to one.
So when will Australian iTunes customers see Game of Thrones Season 4 and what will they do in the meantime?
It's worth noting that the new season of Game of Thrones isn't available on the US iTunes store either. Unlike Australia, the US store didn't offer Season 3 week-by-week last year. It held out until January – coinciding with the DVD/Blu-ray release. It's likely that Apple will take the same approach to Season 4 in both the US and Australia, sticking to the DVD/Blu-ray release date of January 2015.
Unfortunately Australian Game of Thrones fans are caught up in a turf war between two industry heavyweights. It's a classic old verus new-media struggle, with HBO and Apple each playing hardball to show that they won't be dictated to by the other. If Apple can't have Game of Thrones week-by-week then it's not going to leap when HBO finally throws it a bone, even if it means leaving customers in the lurch.
As strange as it sounds, Australians don't appreciate how good they've had it when it comes to Game of Thrones. In the US you can't even watch it on the HBO GO streaming service unless you have a home HBO subscription, unlike here where there's the option of Foxtel Play.
For now Apple's delay is costing HBO lost sales, although this is offset by the extra money Foxtel paid HBO for exclusive rights to Season 4. Of course the delay is also costing Apple lost sales, with some of those customers turning to Quickflix and Google Play for their Game of Thrones fix. Of course others will certainly turn to BitTorrent in disgust at the fact that Apple is putting its power struggle with HBO ahead of the needs of its customers who waited patiently for the season to finish screening on Foxtel. An industry which is quick to complain about piracy seems to be doing its best to drive away paying customers.
To be fair to Apple, these kinds of deals are never black and white. HBO does have a history of refusing to play nicely with others when it comes to Game of Thrones. The recent deal between HBO and Amazon in the US specifically excludes Game of Thrones in order to thwart cable cutters looking to abandon their HBO subscription. HBO knows Game of Thrones is the Ace up its sleeve.
As strange as it sounds, Australians don't appreciate how good they've had it when it comes to Game of Thrones.
Apple and HBO/Warner Bros can point the finger at each other all they like, but it doesn't change the fact that Apple should at least be honest with its customers about what's happening with Game of Thrones. For now it looks like Australian iTunes customers need to go elsewhere to catch up on the latest happenings in Westeros.
Were you waiting for iTunes to offer Season 4 of Game of Thrones? What will you do now?

Deserving to Fail: The Fortune 500
I know it sounds bad. Telling anyone that they deserve to fail could be considered short-sided and curmudgeonly. Perhaps, even downright sadistic. But I'm a firm believer in the concept. You can only provide sound advice so many times, lead a horse to water, before it wears thin on you and them.
The truth of the matter is that Fortune 500 and their counterparts deserve to fail. Sometimes, it's the only way people learn: by having smaller, more agile, and receptive companies kick your ass down block.
This all stems from the Conductor study that tracked the paid and organic efforts of several Fortune 500 companies. The whole study was infuriating, but in particular, this stat:
25% of their combined targeted paid keywords, totaling a daily spend of $3.4M, ranked in the top 50 natural search results.
And here's how Conductor's study says how Fortune 500 companies do for their Paid Keywords in Organic Search [in total]
You Still Don't Get it? (After all this time?)
Ladies and gentlemen, that's obscene and grotesque. And it's cause for a giant kick in the ass. Why don't these Fortune 500 companies just set their money on fire or flush it down the toilet, rather than piss it away on a technology and marketing channel they clearly don't understand.
The search marketing industry may still be in its toddler-hood, but consider that this toddler is an 11 year old. That's plenty of time to "get your arms around" this whole internet thing. At this point, it's your own damn faults. So the real question I have to ask is, why are you failing?
Your Brand Isn't Carrying the Water it Used to
Let's start off with saying that traditional media still has a role. That's a fraction of this argument: dumping mindless amounts into ad spots, radio spots, and other traditional media that can't be measured.
There's still an old guard, both figuratively and literally, in these companies that still think media is stuck somewhere in the 1970's, where the mentality was to pound the airwaves with your brand until people stood up and took notice.
Right. There's this little thing that became commercial back in the early 90's, perhaps you've heard of it? The internet. And it's clear you know it is exists, based on your PPC spends.
And, I'm sure if I examined those campaigns, I'd seeing nothing but brand-related garbage in there, without so much as a thought toward negative keywords. People care less about brands and more about price and quality, considering the web's ability to offer alternatives at a moment's notice.
The fact is, your brand is carrying a lot less water than it used to. It doesn't do the heavy lifting anymore. You need to be where the consumers are: at the keyword-level.
How to Un-Fuck Your Situation
First things first, let's acknowledge that decision making in large corporations is like trying to move an iceberg. 10% of the people associated to the decision will ensure that it is disseminated quickly and adopted, 90% the decision's carcass will be left to rot in the desert, picked at by people who happen to stumble across it.
Second, hire someone at a C-Level marketing position who actually has experience with the web and has marketed in the channel before, and has a 30,000 ft vision of where search marketing can go for them. Yes, that might even mean tying traditional media endeavors to web for measurable results (gasp.)
Third, is start shifting your budgets from passé traditional ad agencies with a sub-par interactive side (really only specializing in flash web development), to search firms who grasp the concept of traditional media feeding your web endeavors. Yes, that means cutting down the number of TV spots you run, national press and radio ads, and allocating that budget toward search marketing channels.
Or Maybe You Don't Have To Do Anything at All
Perhaps the Fortune 500 know a big secret that I don't. Perhaps they've got the engines in their pockets? Let's not forget the Vince Update for Google, the more publicized of these types of updates, that gave brands and big corporations tons more leverage in the SERPs. Was it a reasonable update? Sure, if it was based on trust-factors. But, all it really did was give these brand dinosaurs another leg up and another chance to save their sorry asses.
And, with all these gifts from Google and other search engines, they've still managed to squander it. Any small business would love to be able to have your advantages.
Why Small and Mid-Sized Businesses Do Better
Most small and mid-sized businesses perform better organically and at paid search. Every move they make is crucial because budget matters, and because they know in order to move business away from you, they have to kick your ass where you don't have a clue. The web.
And, it's not that SMBs are vastly more knowledgeable about search marketing than Fortune 500 companies. They just know where the battle is really being decided: the SERPs. They know consumers are using keywords and phrases to solve problems they have. And they trust us, SEOs and SEMs, to put them out in front of you. SMBs have:
- Reduced traditional media spends drastically over the last 3 years
- Built websites that are conducive to ranking well
- Paid top-notch professionals to create a search marketing strategy, give advice and consultation, and implement
And, they're even getting better in the one area you Fortune 500's have traditionally blown them out of the water: Social Media. Your budget allowed you to engineer campaigns that were spectacular, but were so unfocused that the sheer abundance of the message pushed them to success. SMBs, with great professional help, have studied and are taking you to task now.
The guard is soon to be changing Fortune 500's. Better get with the time, lest ye' wish to shoveled into the graveyard of relics.

"Charles Pavlina
Charles Pavlina, 82, of 51 Green Row, Oxford, died unexpectedly yesterday at his home.
Mr. Pavlina was a miner for 37 years. He was employed at the Alan Wood Steel Co. in Oxford before he retired.
He was a native of Austria-Hungary. His wife, Julia, died 21 years ago. He was a member of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Oxford, and the Pennsylvania Slovak Catholic Union, Wilkes-Barre.
Survivors include a son, John, Oxford; three daughters, Mrs. Mary Petersack and Mrs. Julia May, both of Oxford, and Mrs. Sophia Jurinko, Phillipsburg; a sister in Austria, 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The funeral will be held at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at the DeVoe Funeral Home, Washington, followed by a Requiem High Mass at 9:15 a.m. in St. Rose Church"
The Social Security Death Index has Charles being born on February 3, 1882 (remember this is not proof of birth!). The SSDI and the obit apparently have the name wrong, or a variant, because Charles and his family can be found in the 1930 census under the name Pavolina...and his and Julia's tombstone on FindAGrave is Pavolina as well!

LONDON: Socceroos skipper Lucas Neill admits he's unsure if his return to English football will be enough to earn him a spot in Ange Postecoglou's squad for the World Cup warm-up match against Ecuador.
The veteran defender on Tuesday (AEDT) signed a deal with Championship club Watford for the remainder of the season, with an option for 2015, subject to international clearance.
The move was announced barely 24 hours before Postecologu is due to name his 23 players for Australia's March 5 friendly in London.
Neill, who has been without a club since leaving Japanese side Omiya Ardija in December, said he spoke to Postecoglou before signing the deal but was not given any assurances about his selection.
''He was going to announce the squad on Wednesday and he was going to get back to me on that situation,'' he told Fox Sports.
''He has to look at a lot of options at the moment because it's his last squad before he can pick his team for the middle of May, when the team meets up for the World Cup.
''I'm not going to read too much into it, whether I'm in or out. I know I need game time, as do a lot of other players who are just about to start a season. So there's no need for me to panic at the moment.
''I know the team put in a good performance when we played Costa Rica back in Sydney a few months ago. I'm hoping that's still in his memory when he comes to think about May.''
The 35-year-old had been increasingly desperate to secure a deal before the World Cup in Brazil, which kicks off on June 12.
He recently spent a few weeks training with his former English Premier League outfit Blackburn Rovers and played a game in their youth side, in the hope of securing a contract for the remainder of the season.
However, the club was unable to offer him anything.
He had also been in discussions with NSW state league side Sydney Olympic.
''I am relieved because it's taken a little longer than we anticipated,'' Neill said.
'I've waited patiently and trained for a long time now – from the middle of December back in England.
''But I made a specific choice to want to come back to England for the next half-year to a year-and-a-half.
''I knew Watford was a club that had ambitions to be in the Premier League again [after] they missed out narrowly last year.
''They needed some experience and leadership, and I was humble enough to come down and train for a week, to show them I was still motivated and wanted to be part of an exciting club.
''I must've ticked all the boxes, and here we are, signed up.''

Spironolactone is the generic form of the brand-name drug Aldactone, a prescription diuretic drug.
The drug is used to treat a condition called primary hyperaldosteronism, in which the body produces excess amounts of the hormone aldosterone, which regulates your body's sodium and water levels.
Spironolactone helps restore a healthy balance of sodium and potassium in your body.
It's also used to treat:
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic. Sometimes called "water pills," diuretics help the kidneys expel water and salt in urine while retaining potassium.
The drug may also be used in combination with other medications to treat precocious (early) puberty and myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disease.
Manufactured by Pfizer, spironolactone was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1985.
Though spironolactone has been around for over 25 years, the FDA is still updating the drug's safety labeling.
In 2011, the FDA added Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis — two life-threatening skin disorders — to spironolactone's list of possible side effects.
In 2013, the agency added a warning about a potentially fatal condition called hyperkalemia (high potassium levels in the blood).
Spironolactone is sometimes used off-label to treat women with persistent adult acne due to increased androgen levels, because the drug is able to inhibit the activity of sebaceous glands (small skin glands that releases an oily, lubricating substance called sebum).
The development of acne lesions is associated partly with increased sebum secretion, which can be stimulated in women by androgen excess.
Because of its anti-androgen activity, spironolactone is also used off-label to treat female-pattern hair loss and hirsutism.
Women with certain endocrine disorders produce more androgens than normal, leading to hair loss on the top or front of the scalp, and increased hair on the face and other (generally hair-free) body areas.
Spironolactone helps by slowing down the production, and blocking the action, of androgens.
Spironolactone carries a black-box warning for tumor risk, due to chronic toxicity studies that show spironolactone can cause tumor development in rats.
Spironolactone shouldn't be taken with potassium-supplementing drugs or diets because the excessive potassium intake may cause hyperkalemia, which can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Your doctor should also know if you have severe heart failure, because hyperkalemia has an increased risk of death in such cases.
Additionally, tell your doctor if you have liver problems such as cirrhosis, as even minor changes in fluid and electrolyte balance may cause liver-related coma.
Spironolactone shouldn't be used if you have certain kidney problems or conditions associated with hyperkalemia, including the adrenal gland disorder known as Addison's disease.
Spironolactone may pose risks to a developing fetus.
Some research suggests that spironolactone has the potential to feminize male fetuses during early pregnancy and cause endocrine problems in late pregnancy by inhibiting the activity of male hormones (androgens).
In general, diuretics such as spironolactone aren't recommended for pregnant women.
Unless the drug is absolutely necessary, it's not recommended for women who are breastfeeding because canrenone, a byproduct of spironolactone, is excreted in breast milk.
Always tell your doctor about any legal and illegal drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies you are taking.
Spironolactone can have a negative interaction with the following drugs:
While taking Spironolactone, consumption of alcohol, narcotics, or barbiturates (a sedative) can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting when you get up too quickly from a sitting or lying position.
Therefore, it may be best to avoid drinking alcohol when taking spironolactone.
Spironolactone comes as 25 milligrams (mg), 50 mg, and 100 mg oral tablets.
Dosage depends on your health issue:
Overdosing on spironolactone can result in:
Call your local poison control center if you've overdosed on spironolactone. If someone has collapsed or is not breathing from a spironolactone overdose, call 911.
Take your missed dose of spironolactone as soon as you remember it.
Skip your missed dose if it's almost time for your next dose.
Don't "double-dose" to make up for a missed dose.

After many attempts to find love the traditional way, "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba went online to meet the right guy – and it worked!
"I met him on eHarmony!" Carrie Ann told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Tuesday's Access Hollywood Live when asked about fiance Jesse Sloan.

U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"I was dating all these younger guys. I was like, 'Maybe I need to change it up a little,'" the 43-year-old star said.
While creating her online profile, the "DWTS" judge – who got engaged in March – initially kept her identity secret.

"I didn't put up a picture, I didn't put anything about who I was," she explained, adding that she was very forthright about what she wanted from a suitor. "I was like, 'You need to be sexy. I need to be attracted to you.' I really put exactly what I wanted. 'I love cats!'"
After laying eyes on Jesse's profile, Carrie Ann said felt something special.
"He was the one they sent me. It just felt familiar," she told Billy and Kit. "In his picture, I felt like I already knew him. He took a risk because he didn't know what I looked like or anything."

After months of exchanging e-mails – and still not showing Jesse what she looked like or revealing who she was – Carrie Ann took the plunge.
"A few months later, I finally sent a picture. [It was] me in Hawaii with no makeup," she continued. "We finally went out [on] a supervised date. We went over to my friend's house. It was awesome!

"I can't believe I just shared that with you! [It's] because you guys have those warm eyes," she told Billy and Kit.
Though they've been engaged for months, the "DWTS" judge – who appears on the November cover of Natural Health magazine – said an actual wedding ceremony is a bit in limbo.
"I don't know, I'm not a good wedding planner, I suck… I don't want to plan," she said. "I'm doing private… I wanna do backyard and I wanna do beach."
A walk down the aisle might be on the backburner, but expanding her family is not.
"Trying for a baby, absolutely," she said with a smile. "Whichever comes first is fine. We don't have to be married to have the baby. My age at 43, I have to get moving on the baby. The wedding can come later."
Also on Tuesday's show, Carrie Ann weighed in on Chaz Bono's elimination and his claim that he was unfairly judged at times during the competition.
"I commended Chaz on what he was doing, because what he was doing was very important in the larger scope of life, but the scoring has to do with what they're doing dance-wise. We are able to separate the two, we can do that," she said. "We're able to look at the dance and just judge the dance, and not what they're going through personally… I actually thought we were pretty kind in general this year."
Adding, "Sometimes people get offended by what we say, it happens. We have to judge, our job is to judge."

DALLAS -- T. Boone Pickens, the Texas oilman-turned-wind-power-advocate, was on hand Thursday to dedicate the newly renovated T. Boone Pickens YMCA in Dallas.
Pickens donated $5 million toward the renovation project, which benefits the downtown club's 4,100 members.
Pickens attended YMCA summer camps as a child and later joined several Ys across the country as an adult, he told The Dallas Morning News.
"I'm 81 years old, and I've always been generous with my money. They approached me, and I decided to give. I love the YMCA," Pickens told the newspaper.
Upgrades to the Y include:
• A 10,000-square-foot cardio and weight center
• A renovated yoga and Pilates room
• Updated locker rooms and an expanded child watch area
• Open view floor plans surrounded by windows for natural lighting
• An upgraded Wi-Fi network area
• New racquetball and basketball courts

Just about any time you meet someone this question comes up: What do you do?
The typical response? I'm an engineer, I'm a web designer, or I'm a teacher.
The problem with using titles to guide your job search or describe what you do is that titles vary from one organization to another. While there are similarities — teaching doesn't vary much from one school district to another, for example — when you use a title, the focus is on the role, not the skills you have. For example, teaching is a skill you acquire and differentiates you from other job candidates.
When your job search becomes focused on the combination of the experiences and skills you have, a wider range of job opportunities opens up. With this method, you're putting the focus on the value you can bring to an employer, not the title you had in your last job.
To refocus your job search on your value, answer these questions:
- What makes you want to change careers?
- What are some specific areas of interest you could contribute to immediately?
- What are your qualifications?
- What to do you want to do?
Begin introducing yourself by describing your interests, value and enthusiasm for helping employers solve their problems instead of saying "I'm a teacher."
How do you think focusing on your title may have helped or hindered your career?

Earth from Space: 'Great Red Island'
The southwestern area of Madagascar – the fourth largest island in the world – is highlighted in this Envisat image. The rivers Morondava, Maharivo, Mangoky and Onilahy are shown, respectively, emptying into the Indian Ocean in the Mozambique Channel. The green coloured body of water visible just below the Mangoky River is Lake Ihotry.
Madagascar was once attached to the African mainland but broke away more than 150 million years ago. The island is divided into east and west by the Hauts Plateaux mountain chain, located in the central highlands, that runs north to south through the country. The Mangoky River rises in the central highlands and stretches westerly some 564 kilometers through the vertical-running Bemaraha Plateau, the coastal plain and the Mangoky Delta, which has an area of 1 547 sq km, before flowing into the channel. The capital, Antananarivo, is also located in the central highlands.
The Isalo National Park, which is located to the right in the image in the burnt orange area halfway between the Mangoky and Onilahy rivers, was created in 1962 and covers around 81 000 hectares. The mountain is characterised by eroded sandstone, which much of dates back to the Jurassic period, according to the conservation organization WWF.
Madagascar is often referred to as the 'Great Red Island' because of the appearance of its red laterite soil, which was once covered with green rainforest before slash-and-burn techniques introduced for farming caused heavy erosion.
Madagascar's coastline contains some 3540 km of coral reef systems, with the majority found on the west coast. Fifty-two km of true barrier reefs are located in the Toliara region, which is located just to the north of the Onilahy River. The reef system from Toliara to Morombe, located on the coast left of Lake Ihotry, is considered one of the most extensive reef systems in the western Indian Ocean region.
Coral reefs worldwide are increasingly under threat from coral bleaching, where the algae is expelled from the coral tissue, progressively losing its colour and eventually dying. The precise reason for coral bleaching is unknown but the phenomenon is associated with increased water temperatures, low salinity and high sunlight levels.
A study by Conservation International carried out earlier this month along Madagascar's south-western coast showed damage to these reef systems from coral bleaching believed to be caused by rising sea temperatures.
Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) acquired this image on 8 August 2006, working in Full Resolution mode to yield a spatial resolution of 300 metres.

Sex and sports. Are these the crucial issues for human existence?
Possibly, and they certainly are important to Ron Shelton, a screenwriter who makes his directorial bow with Bull Durham.
Shelton wrote the script for The Best of Times (1986), a delightful little movie about marriage and football. In Bull Durham, he combines some man-woman stuff with a loving look at minor league baseball. The result is one of the most likable debuts in recent memory.
The movie is introduced by Annie (Susan Sarandon), a team follower who annually chooses one young member of the minor league Durham Bulls to—ah—guide and comfort during the season. For her, baseball is spiritual business (she notes that a baseball has 108 stitches and a rosary has 108 beads). This season, she's chosen a rangy rookie pitcher named Ebby Calvin LaLoosh (Tim Robbins, recently seen as Jodie Foster's protector in Five Corners), a kid with a cannon arm who'd rather fool around then concentrate on baseball. She gives him her "life wisdom" and a much-needed nickname, "Nuke."
But then someone else arrives to help bring the kid along. Veteran catcher Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) joins the club to help the pitcher prepare for the majors (or "The Show") in baseball talk). Crash is one of those guys who've bounced around the minors forever, or, as he says when he arrives in the clubhouse, "I'm the player to be named later."
It doesn't take long before Annie and Crash are sensing some mutual interest. But Annie has certain standards: "I am, within the framework of the baseball season, monogamous," she says, so Crash must put up with her reluctance and with Nuke's rowdiness.
The film bops around in a slightly shapeless but always agreeable way. Shelton's work is recognizably that of a first-time director; there's an extraneous line of dialogue here, an uncomfortable camera angle there. But for the most part his keen eye for human behavior carries the day.
Individual scenes click: Crash advises Nuke that "Clichés are your friends," when it comes to answering bland post-game interviews, and provides a litany of examples; the players, who want a day off, induce a rainout by sneaking into the ballpark at night and turning on the sprinklers; and Annie creates her version of foreplay by tying Nuke to the bed and reading poetry to him (Annie: "Do you know Walt Whitman?" Nuke: "Who's he play for?")
Shelton's got a good head for the feel and talk of baseball (there are some nifty, funny interior monologues that focus on what goes through a player's mind when he is standing in the batter's box or on the pitcher's mound). It's absolutely germane that this story is set in the minor leagues; as in The Best of Times, Shelton seems most interested in those characters who haven't quite made it, and never will. That element lends Bull Durham a poignancy that never leaves the film, even when it's at its flakiest.
First published in the Herald, June 1988
The movie sure was welcome at the time, I'll say that for it. Shelton seems to have become disenchanted with movies, or they with him, or something; I'm not sure what explains Hollywood Homicide, his last completed feature, which was a real bust on all counts.

We are the largest online store for hockey training & skill-building aids on the Web. With over 1500-2000 visitors per day, we have everything for hcokey players looking to improve their skills.
We have come out with a new product and want to brand a cool logo for it.
The product is synthetic ice and if you've never heard of it, it's very popular and consists of a plastic surface that allows players to skate on off the ice.
Our new product is called "Extreme Glide Synthetic Ice".
We want the logo to focus on "Extreme Glide". Extreme Glide will be in bold, and have synthetic ice smaller bellow Extreme Glide.
We will be marketing this product to mainly hockey players, of all ages. We want the logo to be cool and edgy, and ecxciting.
Dominant colors: Red, Black and Grey.
The logo must feature a hockey player icon in movement (similiar to the EZ Glide) logo attached.
The logo is to feature:
- EXTREME GLIDE in bold, this is the dominant wording in our logo with a player icon in movement (preferably with a hockey stick)
- synthetic ice s maller positioned underneat Extreme Glide
** FIND ATTACHED ** - examples of other synthetic ice logos, we like the EZ Glide one, easpecialy that there's a player icon involved. We would want our hockey player to be more dynamic in movement, but like the fact that the player is all grey (one color)
- PSD and Illustrator files for the logo
Winner will also be considered for many more hockeyshot designing jobs - we have a lot of designing work and are always looking for new designers on our team
May the best design win, Good Luck!!
