As we march through the final month of 2013, it's a great time to reflect on the year that was. It's also an opportunity to look into the crystal ball to see what's coming in 2014.
This week, we announced our predictions for small business marketing in 2014.
2014 is the year when small businesses start asking questions about how data can help grow their business — much like they did with mobile two years ago and social media five years ago. Small businesses have access to plenty of data they can use to grow their business, from sales receipts, to Facebook Insights, to Google Analytics, and more.
For small businesses that don't have the time to leverage data, resources like Constant Contact can offer insights from Big Data analytics, like the best time and date to send an email to optimize open rates.
-Jesse Harriott, chief analytics officer of Constant Contact.
What can you do now? In addition to looking at open rate information, metrics like clicks and forwards can help determine how to make your emails more successful. You could also segment your contact list based on your contact's preferences.
Try looking at clicks to determine user preferences, or send a survey to your contacts asking them about their preferences. You should also take some time to learn more about why people are signing up to join your email list and why some people are choosing to opt out.
Do You Know Why People Are Unsubscribing From Your Emails?
And don't forget about the great analytics tools available on social media as well. These tools can be used to measure your results and improve your strategy for 2014.
For many small businesses, 2013 was the year when they began experimenting with mobile business practices.
With ABI Research predicting that worldwide smartphone usage will reach 1.4 billion by the start of 2014, small businesses will need to react quickly to growing consumer mobile expectations by implementing mobile payment processes. And the good news is that the technology driving mobile POS has come a long way in the past few years, making it easier for small businesses to implement technologies from companies like Square or LevelUp.
What can you do now? Start by looking at your website (both online and mobile) to make sure it's providing the right content and payment options for consumers. The Constant Contact MarketPlace also has some helpful third-party POS integrations to get you started (some even help you grow your contact list at the POS)!
Keep in mind that the influence of mobile will go beyond in-store purchases. Mobile is already having an influence on your marketing activities and will have an even greater influence in 2014.
Over the last few years, social media marketing for small businesses has continued to trend upward. In a recent Constant Contact survey, small businesses continued to rate the "big three" social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) as most effective for their organization. While these channels remain important for small businesses, we have started to see more visual channels like Pinterest and YouTube gain popularity.
With consumer attention spans growing shorter, 2014 will be the year where we see an increase in visual-based social networks like Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, and Slideshare.
What can you do now? Start small. Get up and running on just one of the visual-based social networks like Pinterest or Instagram, and then expand once you're ready to take on more. Looking to create more visual content on your existing social channels?

The Ashton boasts 36 stories above ground as the tallest brick building in Texas. This residential tower certainly adds to the eclectic skyline in Austin. Live Oak Construction installed the exterior and interior metal stud framing, sheathing, drywall, and insulation.


This article presents a pragmatic approach to assessing and managing suicide risk in children and adolescents. We first present general recommendations for conducting risk assessments with children and adolescents, followed by an algorithm for designating risk. Risk assessment and designation should be based on both distal (i.e., a prior history of self-harm behaviors) and proximal (i.e., suicide ideation, plans, intent, and preparations) predictors of suicide attempt. We then discuss safety planning as an easy-to-implement approach for intervening and managing suicide risk when working with children and adolescents. We end with a case example illustrating the implementation of risk assessment, risk designation, and safety planning with an adolescent client and her mother.

California high-speed rail: Judge's…
California high-speed rail: Judge's decision on bullet train funding also endangers $3.3 billion in federal funds

SACRAMENTO >> A judge's decision this week to block the state's access to billions of dollars in bonds it needs to build a bullet train also threatens the only other pot of money California has to finance the project — $3.3 billion from Uncle Sam.
Just a few days ago, the state's High-Speed Rail Authority believed it had $8.6 billion in state bond proceeds and $3.3 billion in federal money to begin construction this spring on the rail line's first stretch of track in the Central Valley.
But now the authority's ability to spend any of those crucial funds to push the controversial bullet train project forward is highly uncertain.
"The rulings raise so many questions about whether this project still makes financial sense," said Joe Nation, a public finance professor at Stanford University who called it a "moment of truth" for California.
"This could turn into a real nightmare," he added.
Even before Monday's stunning rulings by Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny, the project had been mocked as a "train to nowhere" because the state had only enough funding to build about 120 miles of track, from the Fresno-Madera area to the northern outskirts of Bakersfield.
The $8.6 billion in voter-approved state bonds and the $3.3 billion in federal funds represent less than one-fifth of the money needed for the $68.4 billion project. But because of Monday's rulings and the possibility that federal funding could be pulled back, the money "in hand" could ultimately become pocket change.
The state has already spent more than $700 million on engineering and planning costs from bonds approved by California voters in 2008. But according to an agreement the state signed with the Federal Railroad Administration, the federal government can yank the $3.3 billion it has committed to the project and even force the state to repay $397 million in federal money spent on planning, engineering and administrative costs.
The federal funding hasn't been nixed yet, but it could be for a number of reasons outlined in the agreement. They include a failure of the state to produce matching funds — something that would be impossible to do if Kenny's rulings prevent the state from issuing bonds.
The grant agreement includes these provisions to protect federal taxpayers from investing in projects that encounter unexpected challenges such as this week's court rulings, said Kevin Thompson, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Lisa Marie Alley, a spokeswoman for the state rail authority, said the group's federal funding is not at risk and that the authority is "using federal funding right now for the project." But she could not explain how the group would comply with the judge's orders or continue to fulfill the obligations of the federal grant agreement.
Dan Richard, the authority's board chairman, has said simply that the group is charting its next steps. Authority spokesman Bob Magnuson said Richard was with family on the East Coast and unavailable for comment because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
But San Francisco attorney Michael Brady — who represents Kings County and two of its residents in the lawsuit that sparked Monday's controversial rulings — called the latest mix of legal and federal mandates "a crisis point" for the authority.
"A reasonable manager of federal money would look at the judge's rulings, realize it's virtually impossible for the authority to comply and say, 'We can't allow our money to be spent down a rat hole,' " Brady said.
Some Bay Area officials are also worried about whether the judge's rulings will scuttle plans to electrify Caltrain's tracks from San Jose to San Francisco.
Since the bullet train is supposed to share its Peninsula tracks with Caltrain, the Legislature allocated $705 million of bond proceeds to upgrade the tracks to get rid of Caltrain's diesel engines. But that funding is now also threatened.
To comply with the rulings, the authority must identify a source for $25 billion in additional funds needed to complete the 520-mile rail line, which is supposed to shuttle riders from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2 hours and 40 minutes.
So how will the authority get the money?
To date, no private investors have expressed interest in funding the largest public works project in the state's history. And it's unlikely the state or federal government would be willing to foot even larger bills, Nation of Stanford and other public finance experts say.
While financial support for high-speed rail remains in limbo, political support from the state's top Democrats remains strong.
Evan Westrup, a spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown, called talk of the project's demise "wild, hasty speculation," and state Senate and Assembly leaders remain committed to the project.
"Any project of this magnitude is a magnet for legal hurdles," said Steven Maviglio, a spokesman for Assembly Speaker John Perez. "The speaker believes the project should and will continue to move forward."
Nick Cronenwett, a spokesman for Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, said his boss still strongly supports the bullet train because it will spur high-wage job creation, economic development and enhance the environment.
"California high-speed rail still has a long way to go," Cronenwett said. "And this is one chapter in that story."
But in an interview this week with Bloomberg News, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a longtime supporter of the bullet train, said the state is "losing public opinion" about the viability of the project. He said state officials "need to make a strong case now" that the project is good for California's future.
Months before Monday's rulings, a poll conducted by the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles Times found 55 percent of voters want another chance to vote on high-speed rail. And if they got that chance, 59 percent of voters said they would vote it down this time, the poll said.
State Sen. Andy Vidak, R-Hanford, has pledged to introduce legislation in January that would put the project back on the ballot.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian had been a staunch proponent of the high-speed rail project while serving in the Legislature. Looming, unanswered questions about how the state would pay for the train, however, ultimately led Simitian to vote against the train.
"High-speed rail is a vision I shared," he said, "but I was not asked to vote on a concept. I was asked to vote on a plan that I believe is flawed."

Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 Ultimate Buying Guide
BY Paul Altieri
Rolex's Yacht-Master series emerged in the early nineties, touted as a nautically-themed luxury lifestyle offering against the all-out professional tools of the brand's dive trio.
Although quite clearly cut from the same mold as the Submariner (and there were even rumors it was originally dreamt up back in the eighties as a possible replacement for the legendary Sub), it has always set itself apart with its softer, more graceful lines and choice of materials. The closest you'll find to the utility of steel here is when it's being gentrified by the presence of Rolex's own 18K gold in their Rolesor models or their platinum in the Rolesium versions – a combination that made its debut with the first wave of Rolex Yacht-Master watches.
Precious metals don't come cheap, and the YM has consequently not had the same universal mass appeal as others in the Oyster Professional range. It has always purposely avoided going too sporty, aiming the model at a more targeted audience – those who, for example, may own luxury yachts.
Let's take a look at one of Rolex's most interesting and beautifully balanced masterpieces, the Yacht-Master in Everose.

Yacht-Master 116655: One of A Kind
In 2015, a new Yacht-Master with many surprises up its sleeve made its grand entrance. The Yacht-Master reference 116655 brought with it several firsts, not just for the Yacht-Master range, but for Rolex itself. It was the first Rolex to feature the innovative Oysterflex bracelet, the brand's take on the rubber strap. It was also the first Yacht-Master to ditch the precious metal bezel for Cerachrom, Rolex's term for ceramic. Of course, the bezel is produced in matte black to match the sleek Oysterflex strap.
The Rolex Yacht-Master Rose Gold 40mm
While their bezels have always featured embossed numerals, as opposed to the engraved ones favored by the rest of the brand's catalog, the contrast between the high polish of the three-dimensional markings against that gloriously muted, sandblasted ceramic gives an altogether more dramatic effect. This design is echoed on the black dial, replacing what is typically a glossy element on other similarly colored Rolex watches for a matte hue to match the bezel and bracelet.
Juxtaposing against the high-polish and elegantly curved 18k Everose case, Rolex's own blend of gold and copper with a dash of platinum to seal it all in, it underlines the ref. 116655's status as the best of both worlds. Dressy enough for the yacht club; sporty enough for the yacht race.
The Oysterflex Bracelet
At the core of the Oysterflex is a blade forged from an alloy of titanium and nickel, molded in a high-performance, hypoallergenic elastomer. It means, not only is the bracelet exceptionally resistant to environmental rigors, but it's also free to form itself to the shape of the wearer's wrist while retaining all the strength of any of the brand's metal bands.
It is an extremely comfortable bracelet, made even more so by the addition of a pair of 'fins' underneath that both cushion and support the watch while also providing airflow to cool the wrist on warm days. The bracelet is secured by the same Oysterlock clasp as you'll find on most Rolex sports models and comes with the 5mm Easylink extension system for a spot of fine-tuning.
The only drawback compared to, say, the traditional Oyster bracelet is obviously in making larger adjustments. There are no links to add or remove, and, unlike other rubber straps, cutting it to size isn't an option, thanks to the metal core. Rolex offers a choice of bracelet size at the time of purchase, but it does mean you won't be able to lend your watch to anyone with significantly bigger or smaller wrists than you. Oh well!
The Calibre 3135 Perpetual Movement
Inside the 40mm ref. 116655 is the battle-hardened and utterly reliable Cal. 3135, which remained Rolex's main engine from 1988 until just recently when it was replaced by its successor – calibre 3235. Performing way beyond the standards set down by the COSC, it's accurate to within +2/-2 seconds a day. Cal. 3135 also boasts a Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and a convenient 48-hour power reserve. Even if you set your Yacht-Master down and don't pick it up until a day or so later, it will continue to read true.
The Next Generation of Yacht Masters: The Rolex 116655 vs. 126655
In 2019, a new collection of regatta timers came to market, replacing the first 6-digit 1166XX generation. The beloved cal. 3135 retired from the Yacht-Master collection altogether, making way for the new and improved calibre 3235 with a more efficient skeletonized Chronergy escapement and, thus, a longer 70-hour power reserve. The Everose and Oysterflex Yacht-Master survived the transition, housing the improved movement within the current ref. 126655. It features a similar design set as ref. 116655, including a 40mm case and the same stunning matte black ceramic bezel. Also joining the new 40mm lineup were Rolesium ref. 126622 and Everose Rolesor ref. 126621.
Future Classic?
The Yacht-Master ref. 116655 has all the hallmarks of a classic in the making. It's a radical departure from the norm, and it debuted several never-before-seen features. Additionally, Its matte dial with the red text gives it a healthy vintage feel, and its hefty retail price will grant it an invaluable degree of exclusivity.
If we were gamblers, we certainly wouldn't bet against it becoming a highly sought-after piece in years to come, but that isn't the best reason to add one to your collection if the budget allows. This is simply one of the most strikingly good-looking and capable watches ever produced by a brand that sets the standard other manufacturers try to live up to. A model welcomed anywhere, whether on deck or on the beach, the Everose gold Yacht-Master 40 is Rolex at their formidable best.

Gail has asked me to post to her blog, as she's with family in Minnesota. Her mother-in-law passed away a few days ago. Gail will be returning to the office next week. In the meantime, I wanted to share this with you in the hopes that it will move you into action on your dream.
She is always generating and producing new ideas and taking action to make them a reality.
Very few people on this planet operate at the high level Gail does. She's pretty inspiring that way.
The main qualities she expresses daily are: gratitude, passion and action. The third quality cannot be understated. The reason why most of us never get our projects and dreams off the ground is a lack of action.
Gail is a role model for taking action and that is why if you look at some of the single year periods in her life, she has experienced more than most people experience in an entire lifetime.
We all have different excuses for why we don't take action, but at the end of the day we either have excuses or results and never both.
When we drop the excuses, a practice I've been working more diligently on since working with Gail, it's amazing how creative we can get.
The next time you start to explain why you couldn't, didn't, won't or shouldn't do something, I invite you to try something.
Ask yourself, "If it was possible to do _________, what is the one thing I could do in this moment to start to make it happen?" Then, without thinking, do whatever "that" is immediately. Shut your judgmental voice off and just do it.
I recall a conversation where Gail was explaining the Global Hug Tour to someone and something shifted in my body.
About an hour into this conversation the high powered consultant offered one suggestion after another. Each suggestion was met with a response from Gail of how she had already done that or how she knew who to talk with to take the next step.
The revelation here for me was that I knew the Global Hug Tour would happen, but even if it didn't, the pursuit of building it was filling Gail's life with experiences and people that were transforming her life.
Every day that she went full steam ahead again it revealed new challenges and new horizons. Her life will be better 6 months from now because of every tiny action she has taken to create the Global Hug Tour. If it ended up not taking flight, it would still be a huge success for Gail in how she's living life and in opening new relationships for future opportunities.
She was right, she cannot fail. Just by taking action the rewards have begun to flow.
You cannot fail either …as long as you take action. Commit to yourself to do at least one thing (or more if you're adventurous) every single day to move closer to projects that fulfill you and living the life of your dreams.
Action is the acorn that births the oak tree of your success.

The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) announced that the 2017 USDF Sport Horse Seminar will be held August 5-6, at Iron Springs Farm in Coatesville, PA, with USEF 'S' and DSHB 'R' Judges Kristi Wysocki and Susan Mandas.
Comprised of both classroom lecture portions and hands-on evaluations, the sessions will provide valuable insight into four major areas; ideal movement and conformation of a sport horse, considerations when selecting breeding stock, show ring strategies, and competition rules and judging guidelines. Both instructors have a long list of judging credentials, and will each impart their vast knowledge in this personalized format.
Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will be able to spot the qualities desired in a sport horse and understand how to rate those qualities, which are essential tools for breeders, riders, trainers, and judges, as well as potential owners. Additionally, this seminar will serve as a prerequisite for becoming a USEF-licensed dressage/sport horse breeding judge.
Registration for the 2017 USDF Sport Horse Seminar will open through July 1, with late registration being accepted through July 21. For more information about the USDF Sport Horse Seminar, or other sport horse offerings, contact the USDF office at sporthorse@usdf.org, or call (859) 971-2277.
In May USDF is also hosting the 2017 USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum. The forum, featuring presenters Michael Bragdell and Willy Arts, will be held May 13-14 at Isabella Farms in Cypress, TX.
USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forums are intended for all individuals with the goal of developing a consistent training foundation for sport horse prospects, and to bridge the gap as horses progress from in-hand to under-saddle, and eventual competition.
Riders selected to participate in the 2017 USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum are Cynthia Hall (Sovereign WS, Churchill WS), Katelyn Kok (Carevaggio), Regina Milliken (Oliveira, Ricardo), Erika West Danique (Lucca), Marta Renilla (Senor Rubinstein), John Mason (Ion SWF), Bonnie Canter (Shakira) and Erin Bell-Altman (I Rose's Bloom).

"What's fun about this show is that there's going to be multiple timelines as we move forward," says Gustin to TV Guide. "I think we're going to start showing Earth-One and Earth-Two in the near future. There will be kind of different dimensions going on."
All of which promises to be fairly testing for the showrunners, as acknowledged by Gustin's co-star, Carlos Valdes. "It gets a little Rubik's Cube-y in terms of keeping consistency between all these timelines and whatnot," says Valdes, "but the writers have their stuff together. If I were to trust anyone, it would be them." The second season of The Flash is set to air in the fall, with an exact date to be confirmed.
