Today, few marketers in the healthcare industry need to be convinced that engaging in social media is vital for the success of their brand. This represents considerable progress for a once sceptical industry. Unfortunately, a large number of marketers still don't understand the full potential of social media engagement and how to maximise its value. In fact, I often hear clever marketers tell me that they are looking to launch a Google+ page in order to reap the SEO benefits – this is definitely not the right motivation for engaging in social media.
So while there is a wider understanding of the functional benefits of social media, there remains a naivety about the value of creating a community which facilitates engagement with the pharma industry's target audiences.
We are seeing increased involvement from healthcare organisations in conversations around healthcare issues of universal importance: child and maternal health, immunisations, health policy, the rise in non-communicable diseases, the spread of infectious diseases, and many more. It is becoming more and more important for brands to join these conversations to demonstrate how they contribute to improving the state of healthcare.
So how do you begin to join the conversation and maximise the value of your brand's social media engagement? First, remind yourself what the purpose of your brand communication is. Are you trying to improve MS patients' understanding of their condition? Are you trying to improve the cardiologist/patient relationship? Before you choose which social media channels you will use, restate your brand's purpose: this must be the cornerstone of the social media experience you create. This will prevent you from creating a Twitter account just because your competitors are already there, and will allow you to create a community experience with all the appropriate engagement channels aligned to your brand's objectives.
Your approach to developing your social media experience will be different from your approach to creating your other digital properties. For example, every company has a branded website – this is where you talk about your brand and how wonderful it is. This is kind of message doesn't belong on social media, however. Rather, social media is where you demonstrate your brand's purpose by engaging with your target audience. This approach is the same as in the real world; you may talk about your successes at home but when you are in a social setting with peers and colleagues, you engage in intelligent conversation that reveals what you feel is your added value. Your social media channels need to demonstrate that same value for your target audience.
I recently handled the live tweeting at an annual event for one of our brands. Being able to see what content our target audience engaged with in real time gave me hugely valuable insights into what information is most valuable in the social media space. I noticed our audience engaged most with content around the results of the innovation awards we had held, much more than with any of the branded messages. Of course they did! As one of the brand's core purposes, innovation resonated with our target audience and motivated them to engage with the content.
The following are the key areas to consider when beginning to develop a community which will allow you to engage and share content with your audience, allowing you to demonstrate your brand's purpose.
Obviously, the reasons for activating social media varies for different brands. Whatever the reason is for your brand, make sure you recognise that social media does not have a shelf life. The value of social media grows over time through the relationships built. Do not solely push out branded messaging. Allow your community to provide content as well. This user generated content will be engaging for the rest of your audience and allow you to pull valuable insights from your audience.
Social media is not about the channels; it's about the experience. Commit to the experience you are trying to create. I often compare this step to planning a party. When you throw a party, you take all the necessary steps to create a memorable experience: you invite the right people, find the perfect venue, and plan the decorations and activities. Once you understand what experience your brand is trying create, you can employ the right channels to successfully deliver that experience. For example, if your brand is trying to raise awareness, use a social media channel with a more emotional dynamic, like Instagram or Pinterest. If your brand is trying to spark conversation, provide a forum for your target audience to discuss.
Your social media intelligence will be realised as you engage, but a lot of preparation should be done before you begin. Know the key topics of the conversation, know who the influencers are, and know where the conversation is already happening. The same way you would not set up a booth at a congress without understanding who will be in attendance, don't enter the social media world without understanding who is already talking.
Now is the time to begin to build your brand's social network. It is important to recognise your brand will experience the most value from the relationship it builds. One of the brands I work on receives requests about collaborations and partnerships through its existing relationship all the time. We actually have to turn down some of the offers because it is not possible to support them all – but it demonstrates how this brand has moved down the marketing funnel from awareness to advocacy. Some of our best opportunities have found us, rather than us having found them.
It is fairly easy to overlook the need to monitor and report on performance, but it is essential to do this when trying to convey the success of your brand's social media engagement to your internal team. Your community manager has a finger on the pulse of your social media engagement, and has the power to continually optimise your social media activity in real-time. So for that reason, hold regular reporting discussion to talk about opportunities. Document strong achievements made through social media so you have them ready when the appropriate opportunity arises.
As we all know, a marketer's budget is tight. Do not launch a social media channel for the sake of it. What you will end up with is another digital channel which needs to be continually fed with content. Instead, create a community which creates value in both directions: it increases your audience's trust in your brand's purpose and allows you to better understand your audience.

Technology|Cost of Gene Sequencing Falls, Raising Hopes for Medical Advances
Cost of Gene Sequencing Falls, Raising Hopes for Medical Advances
By JOHN MARKOFF MARCH 7, 2012
Bill Banyai used his digital expertise in designing a factory that lowered the cost of mapping the human genome. Credit Ramin Rahimian for The New York Times
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — In Silicon Valley, the line between computing and biology has begun to blur in a way that could have enormous consequences for human longevity.
Bill Banyai, an optical physicist at Complete Genomics, has helped make that happen. When he began developing a gene sequencing machine, he relied heavily on his background at two computer networking start-up companies. His digital expertise was essential in designing a factory that automated and greatly lowered the cost of mapping the three billion base pairs that form the human genome.
The promise is that low-cost gene sequencing will lead to a new era of personalized medicine, yielding new approaches for treating cancers and other serious diseases. The arrival of such cures has been glacial, however, although the human genome was originally sequenced more than a decade ago.
Now that is changing, in large part because of the same semiconductor industry manufacturing trends that opened up consumer devices like the PC and the smartphone: exponential increases in processing power and transistor density are accompanied by costs that fall at an accelerating rate.
As a result, both new understanding and new medicines will arrive at a quickening pace, according to the biologists and computer scientists.
"For all of human history, humans have not had the readout of the software that makes them alive," said Larry Smarr, director of the California Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technology, a research center that is jointly operated by the University of California, San Diego, and the University of California, Irvine, who is a member of the Complete Genomics scientific advisory board. "Once you make the transition from a data poor to data rich environment, everything changes."
Complete Genomics, based in Mountain View, is one of more than three dozen firms hastening to push the cost of sequencing an entire human genome below $1,000. The challenge is part biology, part chemistry, part computing, and in Complete Genomics' case, part computer networking.
Complete Genomics is a classic Silicon Valley start-up story. Even the gene sequencing machines, which are housed in a 4,000-square-foot room bathed in an eerie blue light, appear more like a traditional data center than a biology lab.
In 2005 ,when Clifford Reid, a successful Silicon Valley software entrepreneur, began to assemble his team, he approached Dr. Banyai and asked if he was interested in joining a gene sequencing start-up. Dr. Reid, who was also trained in physics and math, had spent a year as an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he had become a convert to bioinformatics, the application of computer science and information technologies to biology and medicine.
Dr. Banyai had even less experience in biology.
Formerly with the Internet networking start-ups GlimmerGlass and Silicon Light Machines, he in turn began by reading a pioneering 2005 article in the journal Science in which a group of researchers in George Church's genetics laboratory at Harvard describe a new technique intended to speed gene sequencing.
Today Dr. Banyai is finishing the second generation of a machine that blends robotics, chemistry, optics and computing. It is emblematic of the serendipitous changes that take place when a manufacturing process is transformed: performance increases and cost falls at an accelerating rate.
"Genomes are now being sequenced incredibly cheaply," said Russ B. Altman, who is a founder of Personalis, a start-up based in Palo Alto, Calif., that is developing software to interpret genomes. "On the discovery and science side we will be able to do clinical trials. We'll be able to check the entire genome."
Complete Genomics has produced more than 3,000 sequences at about $5,000 each this year. Credit Ramin Rahimian for The New York Times
Recently, on the company's Web site, Dr. Reid predicted that the cost of gene sequencing could eventually be as low as that of a blood test: "I believe that the impact on the medical community of whole human genome sequencing at a cost comparable to a comprehensive blood test will be profound, and it will raise a host of public policy issues (privacy, security, disclosure, reimbursement, interpretation, counseling, etc.), all important topics for future discussions," he wrote.
Dr. Banyai said he had found that Silicon Valley start-up ideas tracked well. "There is this remarkable thing that happens in start-ups. You make up this plan and then you step off a cliff and magically a little bridge appears," he noted, as new technologies appear in the nick of time.
In the case of Complete Genomics, the company is riding in part on big advances being made in industrial digital cameras that are capable of capturing the fluorescent molecules that are used to "read" small sequences of DNA.
In the last half-year, a new generation of cameras, more frequently used for factory inspection systems, has made it possible to speed up the Complete Genomics sequencing process tenfold. That, the company has said, will drive its capacity to 100,000 genomes annually from 10,000.
The parallels between the evolution of the nascent gene sequencing industry and the Valley's chip makers are striking. By placing more circuits on a silicon wafer at an exponentially increasing pace since the early 1960s, the semiconductor industry transformed the cost of computing. As a result, today the world's most powerful supercomputer from the 1980s nestles comfortably in your hand and costs several hundred dollars.
Complete Genomics' competitors are also exploiting designs to drive costs down. For example, Life Technologies, based in Carlsbad, Calif. uses a direct approach to read the bases in the genome from an array of sensors on the surface of a semiconductor chip. As more sensors are packed onto each successive generation of technology, the cost of sequencing will also fall sharply.
Last month, Oxford Nanopore Technologies created an industry sensation when it introduced a machine that sequenced genes using an alternative approach called nanopore sequencing, in which a strand of DNA is read as it is pulled through a microscopic hole.
The system is scheduled to be available later this year. However, it has an error rate much higher than that of the Complete Genomics system, which has independently been given high marks for accuracy.
Because there is no clear winner yet, all of the companies are pushing hard to get down the cost curve as fast as possible
In 2011, Complete Genomics became one of the market leaders. This year, it has produced more than 3,000 sequences at a cost of about $5,000 each. Dr. Banyai's higher capacity second generation system is now being installed and will begin production during the first half of this year. A third generation design has been completed.
What initially set Complete Genomics apart from the field was its strategy of offering gene sequencing as a service, rather than selling a machine to laboratories. More recently, Illumina, one of its crucial competitors, has also begun offering sequencing as a service, in addition to selling its machines.
"Our competitors have to supply kits that can be executed by a graduate student rolling out of bed with a hangover," said Dr. Reid. "We don't live with that standard, and that can be tremendously liberating. Ours can be horrifically complex as long as it can be executed by a robot."
The company also began with the business intent of sequencing only the human genome, rather than those of other species, too — a strategy that was heresy in 2005, when the founders set out to raise money. At that time, only two human genomes had been sequenced. However, Complete Genomics founders argue that focusing just on the human genome has given them a leg up.
"You make a whole bunch of decisions that don't work well for corn or bacteria, but they work very well for humans," Dr. Reid said.

To kill the crab, either plunge it into a large pot of boiling water for a minute, or place it on its back on a cutting board and split the body down the middle with one quick cut with a heavy knife. Use the first method if you wish to use the upper shell in presenting your dish. Holding the crab body by the legs, pull off the shell. Discard the feathery gills on both sides of the body and the spongy mass in the middle of the back; rinse until nothing but shell and meat show. Pull out the bits of greenish fat from the corners of the shell. Rinse both the body and shell and drain thoroughly.
Split the body of the crab (if it is not already split) into 2 halves with each cluster consisting of a set of 3 legs and a claw. Carefully crack each leg and claw segment with a mallet. Place the clusters in a large bowl with the oil, ginger, garlic, chilies and a generous grinding of pepper. Marinate for 1 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. You may need to break your clusters into individual leg and claw sections to be able to submerse the legs while marinating. Remove crab from marinade 15 minutes before cooking.
Grill the halves and the shell over a hot fire until outer shells are bright red and meat in the largest sections is opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Place crab halves and shell in a roasting pan lightly oiled with a bit of the marinade and roast in a 450F, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Strain vegetables out of marinade and combine with the butter in a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes and season to taste. Serve in small bowls as a dipping sauce for the crab.

When Disaster Recovery Plans Are a Disaster
By Dennis McCafferty | Posted 09-23-2015
A lack of training, backup power and accessible passwords are just a few of the reasons companies struggle to activate a smooth disaster recovery process.
Launch Failure
Less than 29% of survey respondents said their organizations can activate their disaster recovery/business continuity (DR/BC) plan with only "limited" difficulties.
Mistake-Prone
Nearly 67% said their DR/BC plan had at least one error that created difficulties.
Just more than half said the plan was not up-to-date.
About 37% said they were unable to find the right passwords to access/utilize the plan.
Weak Wattage
Nearly 24% said they had insufficient backup power to put the plan in play.
About 18% said their DR/BC team didn't have enough training to effectively carry out the plan.
Retrieval Ranking
Nearly 15% said recovery priorities were not identified in the DR/BC plan.
Missing Record
About 14% said their DR/BC plan was never documented.
Unknown Culprit
Nearly 13% said they couldn't identify the event that caused the disaster/disruption in time to take advantage of their DR/BC plan.
View Slideshow »
Only a minority of organizations are able to activate their disaster recovery/business continuity (DR/BC) plans with minimal difficulties, according to a recent survey from Janco Associates. In some cases, DR/BC teams don't have the training required to carry out the plan. In others, they fail to properly document their DR/BC strategy. Other problems emerge due to a lack of available backup power needed to conduct the plan. And more than a few survey respondents admit that they have not been able to find the right passwords to access and deploy the plan in the past. Beyond these somewhat comedy-of-error-styled snafus, however, there were broader and more prohibitive barriers cited, including the presence of material errors in the plans. "We found that the primary reasons for many of these defects was that the plans were too difficult to keep up-to-date when they were in purely written format," said M. V. Janulaitis, CEO of Janco. To address this, Janco recently released an updated version of its Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Template, which includes a new DR/BC audit program, a business impact toolkit and 17 related e-forms. Executives from more than 180 organizations took part in the research.

Governor Gavin Newsom is the widely projected front-runner in the top two primary, perhaps the most interesting results for the California health care discussion lie in the race for number two and the winner's stance on single payer proposals.
Because of California's unique "jungle primary" structure, the top two candidates from today's election, regardless of party affiliation, continue on to the general election in November. In the strongly Democratic state, this could mean the difference between a relatively easy victory for Newsom, a strong advocate for a single payer, against a Republican challenger like John Cox, or a more nuanced debate on the future of California's health system, with the most likely Democratic challenger Antonio Villaraigosa.
After an endorsement from Donald Trump last week, Cox, a successful businessman from Illinois, is polling in second placed as of last Thursday with 20% support, successfully seeming to consolidate the Republican vote. Cox staunchly opposes a state run single-payer system stating, "It's just another very expensive welfare program for people who do not pay into the system." In opposition he cites the "staggering" 400 billion estimated cost to the state, lack of choice, and lack of accountability.
Meanwhile, the Democratic vote has splintered between Villaraigosa and two other challengers with largely similar stances on health care, State Treasurer John Chiang, and Former state schools chief Delaine Eastin. Though Villaraigosa won and endorsement by the L.A. Times, most recent polling indicates this fracturing puts him in a likely third or even fourth spot and out the race moving forward.
For single payer supporters, a Cox "win" could be a boon as many predict the state's strong Democratic leanings, and Newsom's popularity and strong support of single payer will propel him to an easy victory against Cox in November. However, if Villaraigosa can manage to land the number two spot, the discussion could get more interesting.
Villaraigosa has supported the idea of universal healthcare buts favors a more incrementalized approach. In a fight against Newsom, his voice could force a more realistic and nuanced discussion as to how the state would pay for a single payer system, projected by some to require the state health care spend to double, and require Medicare and Medicaid waivers, which are not likely give the federal climate on health care. Either way, one implication of today's vote is clear, the issue of single payer health care in California will lead the debate heading into in November.

Michigan Law/
Michigan Resisting Arrest Laws
Created by FindLaw's team of legal writers and editors | Last updated February 14, 2018
During an arrest or other encounter with law enforcement officers, the behavior of both the officer and the person under arrest is under scrutiny and must conform to certain standards; otherwise, consequences will arise. If a police officer doesn't follow specific procedures during an arrest, the officers could be subject to discipline and it may be an example of police misconduct. If the person under arrest doesn't act appropriately, then they could be charged with resisting arrest. State laws vary as to what constitutes resisting arrest. These laws are often the crux of controversial exchanges between law enforcement and citizens. Because there's no distinct legal standard, it's difficult to determine when you're actually breaking the law.
Michigan's resisting arrest laws refer to a number of prohibited actions such as assaulting, battering, wounding, and endangering an officer; you also cannot resist, oppose, and obstruct an officer. This includes failing to comply with an officer's lawful demands and interfering with the officer performing their duties. This can occur at anytime, not just during an arrest, but you must know or have reason to know that the person is an officer. An "officer" means not only a state police officer or a university or college officer, but also includes conservation officers, sheriffs/ deputies, firefighters, EMT's, and search and rescue personnel among others.
Michigan Resisting Arrest Laws at a Glance
The chart below provides a summary of statutes related to the offense of resisting arrest in Michigan, including links to important code sections.
Michigan Compiled Laws 750.81d, 750.479 (Resisting arrest)
Michigan resisting arrest offenses are generally classified as felonies, but there are certain local ordinances that are misdemeanors. The penalties are based on factors including the officer's condition after the incident; sentencing guidelines depend on factors such as criminal history.
If you assault/batter/wound/resist/obstruct/oppose/endanger an officer:
You are guilty of a felony punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 2 years and/or fine up to $2,000.
And the officer has a bodily injury requiring medical attention/care; you are guilty of a felony punishable by a prison sentence of up to 4 years and/or a fine up to $5,000.
And the officer has a serious impairment of a body function; you are guilty of a felony punishable by a prison term of up to 15 years and/or a fine up to $10,000.

Next Rhetoric & Composition MMTOR?
Composition Pedagogy
Massive Multi-Thinker Online Review, that is. I think it should be about John Logie's new book, Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion: Rhetoric in the Peer-to-Peer Debates, now available from Parlor Press. You can order it or download it for free as a PDF. The book has a Creative Commons license too. More about the book:
Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion: Rhetoric in the Peer-to-Peer Debates investigates the role of rhetoric in shaping public perceptions about a novel technology: peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. While broadband Internet services now allow speedy transfers of complex media files, Americans face real uncertainty about whether peer-to-peer file sharing is or should be legal. John Logie analyzes the public arguments growing out of more than five years of debate sparked by the advent of Napster, the first widely adopted peer-to-peer technology. The debate continues with the second wave of peer-to-peer file transfer utilities like Limewire, KaZaA, and BitTorrent. With Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion, Logie joins the likes of Lawrence Lessig, Siva Vaidhyanathan, Jessica Litman, and James Boyle in the ongoing effort to challenge and change current copyright law so that it fulfills its purpose of fostering creativity and innovation while protecting the rights of artists in an attention economy.
Logie examines metaphoric frames—warfare, theft, piracy, sharing, and hacking, for example—that dominate the peer-to-peer debates and demonstrably shape public policy on the use and exchange of digital media. Peers, Pirates, and Persuasion identifies the Napster case as a failed opportunity for a productive national discussion on intellectual property rights and responsibilities in digital environments. Logie closes by examining the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the "Grokster" case, in which leading peer-to-peer companies were found to be actively inducing copyright infringement. The Grokster case, Logie contends, has already produced the chilling effects that will stifle the innovative spirit at the heart of the Internet and networked communities.
So what do you think? Want to do it? What's a date we can shoot for?

The African Development Bank (AfDB) Group President, Donald Kaberuka, will be on official visit to Cape Verde from 27-30 April 2010. The mission builds on the strong partnership between the country and the Bank. President Kaberuka will use the visit to reaffirm the Bank's continuous support to the country's economic efforts and its development projects.
As a result of its sound economic and social performance, Cape Verde has earned the status of a Middle Income Country. According to development experts, AfDB-funded projects, such as the construction of the Praia International Airport, have greatly contributed to the improvement of the country's infrastructure and competitiveness.
Being a Middle Income Country, Cape Verde now has access to both concessional and non-concessional resources of the Bank. As a blend borrower country, the sustainable ceiling of funding to which it is entitled from the AfDB for 2010-2013 is currently estimated at UA 98 million (around 110.38 million Euros). At the same time, the country will equally gain full access to the current balance of UA 7 million from ADF XI (around 7.88 million Euros).
The current Bank strategy addresses the country's ambitions and the impact of the financial crisis. The AfDB will help sustain the country's economic and financial gains by supporting projects that will strengthen public finance management, government modernization efforts, as well as improve the business climate and the economy's competitiveness. The Bank will equally contribute to infrastructure development, targeting transport, energy and water resources mobilization.
Cape Verde's active portfolio in the Bank comprises 5 operations amounting to UA 57.32 million (around 64.56 million Euros). Approximately 80% of this amount has been allocated to budget support and the remaining amount to infrastructure, rural and social sectors. Since 1977, the Bank has approved 39 operations for Cape Verde estimated at UA 164.28 million (around 185 million Euros).
During his visit, the AfDB President and his delegation will meet Cap-Verdean authorities and members of the international community based in the country, as well as visit major projects being carried out in the country.

José Antonio Melián (Buenos Aires, Virreinato del Río de la Plata, 1784-Buenos Aires, Argentina, diciembre de 1857) fue un militar argentino, que participó en la guerra de la independencia de su país, con participación en las campañas al Paraguay, a la Banda Oriental y a Chile.

Las invasiones inglesas y el Litoral

Ingresó al ejército virreinal poco después del año 1800. Al producirse la primera de las Invasiones inglesas combatió en Barracas contra los invasores. Más tarde participó en la Reconquista de Buenos Aires, y al año siguiente combatió en las filas de los Húsares de Pueyrredón en la Defensa contra la segunda invasión; por méritos de guerra fue ascendido a capitán por el virrey Liniers.

A fines de 1810 se incorporó a la Expedición de Belgrano al Paraguay y tuvo una actuación destacada en las batallas de Paraguari y Tacuarí. Después pasó al sitio de Montevideo, combatiendo en la batalla de Cerrito.

Participó en la campaña de 1814 contra el caudillo de los federales, José Artigas, en operaciones en la provincia de Entre Ríos. En agosto de ese año, el Director Supremo Posadas lo nombró comandante general de las milicias de Entre Ríos, con orden de reunir 4 regimientos; se vio obligado a trasladarse a Paysandú por orden de Juan José Viamonte, desde donde evacuó las tropas de Zapiola, derrotadas por los federales. Regresó a Entre Ríos, donde junto a los coroneles Eusebio Valdenegro y Rafael Hortiguera derrotaron a Blas Basualdo en la batalla de Rincón.

Después de la definitiva derrota en la batalla de Guayabos, regresó a Buenos Aires.

El Ejército de los Andes

Fue nombrado comandante de un escuadrón del Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo, al frente del cual participó en el cruce de los Andes; participó en la batalla de Chacabuco y en la campaña del sur de Chile, destacándose en Curapaligüe y logrando el ascenso al grado de coronel.

En la batalla de Cancha Rayada se distinguió entre los jefes que salvaron más número de tropas del desastre. Combatió en la batalla de Maipú, asombrando a sus compañeros al atacar alternativamente y con igual éxito tanto a la caballería como a la infantería enemigas.

Pidió y obtuvo la baja por razones de salud en 1818. Vivió en Chile por más de tres décadas, dedicado a la agricultura.

Volvió en 1849 a Buenos Aires, donde el gobernador Juan Manuel de Rosas le otorgó el retiro militar con derecho a sueldo pleno, y con grado de coronel. Más tarde ocupó por corto tiempo la comandancia de San Nicolás de los Arroyos, antes de pasar definitivamente a retiro.

Falleció en diciembre de 1857 en Buenos Aires.

It's been a while since I have been able to write. Mom has been keeping me busy and away from the computer. I think she is afraid that I will drool on the keys. I finished my Doggy Tales program at Horseheads and am missing all of those kids reading to me, but on Thursday April 7th, you can come to the Steele Memorial Library at 3:30 and read to me. I can't wait!!! Please!! Please come and read to me! I love to have little kids pet me and lay on me. Let's face it, spying in the library isn't a very busy life. I really just do a lot of sleeping in the library, but you can wake me up and ask if you can pet me. When I'm at the circulation desk, no one knows that I'm under the desk sleeping until they look into the hole where the cords go and see me under there. Usually they are surprised to see a dog in the library. But I'm a special dog!!! Mom likes to fool the kids by saying "How do you think he got down that small hole?".
Come see me on the 7th!!

Mace "the spy" here, reporting on what's happening at the library. I'm a very busy dog. Besides "the spy" business, I have my own program and its called Doggy Tales. I have the cutest kids bring a book and they read to me. Come visit me at the Horseheads Free Library on Wednesday nights at 6:00 pm and read me a story! I get lots and lots of petting. All I have to do is lay there and listen. They sometimes use me as a pillow. They sure read me the best stories too. I heard all about Fly Guy. Can you imagine having a fly for a pet? I have a cat as a pet—his name is Snickers. That's a little strange don't you think? What kind of pets do you have? Does anyone have a fly as a pet? They read me a book called "Green Eggs and Ham". OK who has green eggs and would you eat them? I would because I like to eat.
I found out the Steele Memorial Library has a program called Toddler Story Hour for kids from 18 months old until they are 3 yrs old, on Fridays at 10:00am. Well I'm 14 months old but I look big for my age so thought I would check it out. That's what spies do you know, sneak into places. Well, it was a lot of fun. Miss Janet read us stories and we got up and danced. OK I'm not a very good dancer but I wiggle a lot and prance around.
The next time you are at the Steele Memorial Library, look for me at the circulation desk. If you ask you can pet me, I love to be petted. Sometimes I have my head under the door watching everybody leave with their books so don't be startled.


The creators of Castle Crashers brought their latest game, right now known as Game 3, to Comic-Con, an Xbox Live Arcade title heavy on the "TBA." Platforms, release date, final game name and just about everything is still "TBA."
But the game was playable on the Comic-Con show floor, split into three parts, each game type a multiplayer affair for up to four players. Is that the maximum number of players? Behemoth folks at the show wouldn't say. It's another thing that's "TBA."
Game 3 is, as far as we can tell from our hands on time with the game, a series of competitive and team-based multiplayer platformer games with a Behemoth flair. You'll customize the look of your adorably animated character, drawn in the Dan Paladin style, then enter a hub world full of doors, each leading to various game types.
There's "Grab the Gold," which features a floating gold whale that defecates gold bricks. Pick up those bricks and transport them to a floating winged safe to deposit your winnings. Whoever has the most gold when the timer runs out wins the round.
"Soul Snatcher" is a game of keep away. Players will lose their souls if they're knocked out, have their heads stomped upon, or burn to death. Grab the floating, frowning soul and play keep away. The longer one holds onto an opponent's soul, the higher their score. Big scores beat small scores. Obviously.
Game 3 also features a slightly less violent competitive mode, "Paint the World." Run your character over the gray and white blocks the level is built from to paint them the color of your team. The more tiles you own, the more points you score. The catch is that tiles your character touches don't instantly take on your team's color, meaning an opponent could swoop in and make it his own. The level will also "de-colorize" some tiles during a broadly sweeping desaturation event, forcing you to revisit some tiles.
All of these game types get a little more interesting, thanks to the combat items one chooses for their character. These include, but are not limited to, weapons like an exploding Frisbee, a mortar that launches blocks of ice, a fireball and an electric fan. That fan is one of the defensive options, pushing back opponents and the projectiles they'll send your way. A bouncing ball, described to me as the best item in the game, certainly didn't seem that way, based on my use of the thing.
At close range, players can melee with their fists. That's called "punching" someone.
The Comic-Con demo was enjoyable, if limited, and definitely promising. Game 3 is cute, customizable and combines familiar game modes into a package that's in line with The Behemoth's previous work on Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. The flyer for the game indicates that there will be a single player component. It also promises unlockables, depth and replayability, features and [can't make this word out] and the reas... that word gets cut off too. Look, it's gonna have stuff in it.


In 1963, Chief Justice Earl Warren called the 'fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication' a danger to the privacy of the individual. If we use the privacy torts as developed in American law — intrusion, disclosure, false light, appropriation — we can see how dangerous those advances have been regarding our privacy. We will see how readily so many can do so much more to invade the privacy of so many more. We will also see a thread running through the privacy torts that was not readily visible before: invasions of privacy treat us as objects to be observed, revealed, manipulated, and used.

Church 'Birthday Ambassador' Dies At Age 111 After Starting Ministry at 105
By Julie Brown Patton ( [email protected] ) Jun 04, 2016 07:05 PM EDT Comment
North Carolina resident Jean Christy took on a new telephone ministry for Andrews United Methodist Church at age 105. She passed away at 111 on May 28, 2016. Kandy Barnard -- United Methodist News Service
Jean Christy, 111 years old, was a devout United Methodist who will be missed every time other people's birthdays come around in her congregation in southwestern North Carolina. She died May 28, leaving a void as the community's phone-based "birthday ambassador." The congregation of Andrews United Methodist Church celebrated Christy's life on June 4.
When Christy was 105 years old, she felt she needed to do more for her congregation of Andrews United Methodist Church. According to the United Methodist News Service, Christy called her pastor, Rev. Mike Macdonald, to suggest she could use her telephone skills to cheer up fellow Christians. He agreed, and Christy's ministry began.
"I just call up and say, 'Your church wants you to have a very happy birthday, and Miss Christy wants you to have one also,'" she told United Methodist News Service in 2010. "And they seem really happy to hear it."
Christy estimated she called at least one person a week.
Her faith was a large part of her life, exemplifying Christian discipleship in various ways. In fact, she celebrated her 107th birthday by renewing her baptismal vows at Andrews church, where she had been a member since adolescence. She once said her parents taught her and her six siblings to go to church "every time the door opened."
Her faithfulness stood out even in a family that included a church treasurer, a district superintendent, three ordained elders, a diaconal minister and a full-time local pastor, pointed out UMNS.
"In our family, a lot of us are preachers, but we will never have the kind of influence that Aunt Jean had," said her great-nephew, the Rev. David Christy, senior pastor of First United Methodist Church of Gastonia, N.C.
"It was so consistent for so many generations. Both in the church and the school, everybody knew Aunt Jean."
For decades, Christy taught the youth Sunday school class and helped lead the church's youth group. Many of the youth at church also were her high school English students. The town's elementary school is on a street now named for Jean Christy. In 2010, Andrews United Methodist Church also named its young adult Sunday school class in honor of her and her family.
In recent years, she lived in a nursing facility, and could no longer worship at Andrews United Methodist Church. Church members and others routinely took Andrews to her, however.
The Rev. Mary Brown, the pastor of Andrews United Methodist since 2013, said the centurion had a tremendous impact during the three years she knew her. "I've heard her thank God countless times (literally, countless) in a prayer: 'Thank you, thank you, thank you...' How powerful to see someone in her stage of life filled with gratitude," she said.
"When I visited her I felt peaceful, just to be in her presence. The light of Christ shone brightly in her."

Saturday 8th September from St. Mary's Church Fordingbridge. With Ken G1NCG and John G4POF.
With the weather set to be reasonable all day we set ourselves up in the graveyard in Ken's new text/gazebo/shelter. Ken and I went up the church Tower to lower the halyard for the aerial. Whilst we were there we had a look down on to Fordingbridge town and its environs, then up and down the Avon Valley and to the New Forest. Once we could tear ourselves away, we descended the tower and erected the mast for the far end of the aerial.
We made many good QSOs on 80m before about 1100z when the band became unusable. We then moved to 40m and made more QSOs, moving back to 80mabout 1400z. Our total for the day was 59, 41 on 80m and 16 on 40m and 2 on 2m. Much better than last year.
We spoke to: 19 other Churches, a few Germans/French/Swiss/Spanish stations and many UK stations.

This week's Picture News Special (2nd February 2021) is:
'What can we learn from Sir Captain Tom Moore?'
Captain Sir Tom Moore has sadly died. He was being treated in hospital for pneumonia and coronavirus but passed away on Tuesday afternoon. The army veteran became famous when he raised millions of pounds for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday. The Queen has issued a statement saying, "My thoughts and those of the royal family are with Captain Tom's relatives, I recognise the inspiration he provided for the whole nation and others across the world."
Things to talk about at home…
What do we know about Captain Sir Tom Moore and his achievements? Do we know much about his life before last year?
Watch the Prime Minister's tribute to Captain Sir Tom Moore found in the useful video link below. Can you recall three positive examples that Boris Johnson outlined in the clip? Boris said that Captain Sir Tom Moore was 'a beacon of hope for the world.' What do you think he means by this and do you agree?
Whilst undertaking his first challenge of completing 100 laps in his garden, initially hoping to raise £1,000 for charity, Captain Sir Tom had said, "One small soul like me won't make much difference". Why do you think he might have said this? Do you think he was right?
Many people have said that Captain Sir Tom Moore will leave a huge legacy. What do you think we mean by legacy and what do you think the impact of Captain Sir Tom's lasting message will be?
Let us know your opinion on the blog and, as always, use the resources to help you.

Dear heavens, you are tiny.
Also, I love this movie.
your quotes are a constant source of amusement. i love that you love that movie!
yes, it is becoming a sickness....a sickness i fully support.
I had a dream last night that you came to visit me and we went to Relief Society in my mom's ward. We chatted instead of listening to the lesson (if I had a nickel for every time...) and you told me to be more patient with getting pregnant and so on and so forth.
Some might think it's weird that I dreamt that, but I think it's a sign that I came across your blog at the perfect time in my life.
I love this movie as well and if I lived in New York, I would reenact it all the time!
I still remember bawling at that scene in the theater. I so love Tom Hanks. And I mean SO LOVE. I love him best when he's doing his impotent rage thing. Karl and I have agree that if one of us kicks the bucket, the other can marry up: me marry Tom Hanks, and Karl marry Marion Cotillard.
haaaaa i love it. and you've got mail.
oops, i meant to make a comment and that came up instead.
what i wanted to say in the beginning was that i ran across your blog and bookmarked it because i saw that you love anne shirley, and now i see that you love when harry met sally and you've got mail! my husband proposed to me at riverside park next to this garden, and we both love new york! i believe you and i are kindred spirits!

The audience member accused of attacking Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher onstage in Toronto last year has pleaded guilty to causing bodily harm. Daniel Sullivan appeared in the Ontario Court of Justice on November 20.
'Sullivan managed to make his way up to the main stage area, run past the electrical chords set up along the stage, pass the drum kit and lunge toward Noel Gallagher, shoving him violently from behind with great force,' Crown attorney Ruth Neilson told Justice Richard Schneide.
Gallagher suffered three broken ribs following the incident last September which forced the Brit Pop legends to cancel a number of dates. Sullivan claims that he was drunk and has no recollection of his actions.
According to reports in the Toronto Sun, Noel Gallagher claims that it took him almost eight months to recover fully from his injuries. Check out footage of the incident below.

Crosby and the Penguins overpower Matthews and the Maple Leafs
By Cam TuckerNov 12, 2016, 10:04 PM EST
The Pittsburgh Penguins are the defending Stanley Cup champions. That window to win it all is still very much open.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are building for future success. They have the young talent in place to provide optimism for the days and years ahead, but there are going to be difficult times ahead, too.
In their first meeting of the season, Toronto's young talent on Saturday went up against a Pittsburgh team that is no stranger to winning. Penguins players have had success in the NHL playoffs and on the international stage.
The Maple Leafs were competitive, sure. This was a fast-paced game, with both teams combining for 85 shots on goal. Toronto grabbed an early lead. But the established stars of the Penguins took over after the opening period, as Pittsburgh recorded a 4-1 win.
Evgeni Malkin started the scoring for Pittsburgh. Chris Kunitz provided the winner with 18 seconds left in the second period. Bryan Rust and Sidney Crosby scored less than four minutes apart in the third period to put this away.
Crosby finished with two points as he continues his torrid pace to begin the season, while Toronto's star rookie Auston Matthews was held without a point.
By the end, the Maple Leafs looked fatigued, having played the night before.
The Penguins have now won seven of their last 10 games and haven't really shown any effects of a Stanley Cup hangover. If their star players can stay healthy throughout the season, they can definitely challenge for the Eastern Conference.
The Maple Leafs have stocked up on talent. The future is bright. But there is still growing to do before they're an elite team.

DUFFY: WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF UNITED PRESSURE
DUFFY ON OLD TRAFFORD TRIP
Defender Shane Duffy is looking forward to playing in the FA Cup for the first time this season when the Seagulls face Manchester United on Saturday.
Kieran Cleeves
Brighton & Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy urged his team-mates to make the most of the pressure placed on Manchester United after their surprise exit from the Champions League at Old Trafford.
The Seagulls take on Jose Mourinho's men in the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup this evening, and although the Irishman expects a difficult game, he also showed his belief in pulling off a cup shock.
He said, "They probably didn't expect to get knocked out [of the Champions League] but it's a huge club and I have no doubt that they'll win trophies again.
"Hopefully there's a bit of pressure on them, now they're out of the Champions League, and we can go there and take advantage of that.
"We'll try and keep the crowd quiet. You never know, you've seen cup shocks already and that's what we're aiming for.
"But if they click on the day, they can beat anyone. They beat Liverpool last weekend, so we know their strengths and understand it's going to be a very tough ask."
Duffy is yet to feature for Albion in the competition this season, with Connor Goldson and Uwe Huenemeier starting in central defence, but the 26-year-old expressed his excitement to play if given the nod by Hughton.
"It's a good one to be involved in and I'm looking forward to it. I haven't played in the cup yet, but hopefully I get the chance to on Saturday. It couldn't get much bigger.
"You have to realise that it's a squad game as well. The others lads who have played have done brilliantly. The manager knows I play the international games as well, so he rotates things.
"We've got to go there with no fear and try to put in at least half the performance that we did up there [in November].
"I know we didn't have a great result at the weekend, but we're a confident squad at the minute. The reward of getting to a semi-final is huge, it would be massive for the club."
