PUTTING OBAMA BEHIND US

Google Tests Putting Images in its Search Advertising – is it a One O
2009-08-13 20:25:00 Google it seems is revamping the way its search ads function. The famed PPC text ads which brought text and pay per click advertising back from a near death experience is apparently looking at adding thumbnails to sponsored ads. Barry Schwartz’s blog post which links to an interesting thread in Webmasterworld forums where this was first reported. The thread creator posted this: I just did a search and the top three results under sponsored links on the right side appeared to be affiliate ads. But, instead of just the regular text ads they had an 80×80 product image and then the title text for the product. This is quite similar to the products plus option they had added (in private beta still I guess) February, which showed images under a plus box – a box which opens on clicking a plus sign – along with retail results. Here’s a screenshot that was grabbed about the new set of ads. PPC Ad Screenshot courtesy Search Engine Land Google on its part hasn&rs...

Putting the "I" in Information (and in Internet, RSA SecurID, and iPhone)
2009-07-22 02:00:00 I recall when Generation X was the “Me” generation, but I think that title was a little premature. In fact, it might be that Generation Y and the ones that follow will be more empowered than good old Gen X ever was. Generation Y is really the “I” generation, so as long as you pronounce “Y” like “eye” we should be fine.
Putting Mozcamp lessons into action
2009-07-06 14:00:00 On 28th June 2009, Moseley Barcamp saw some of Birmingham’s most digitally-inclined folk assemble. But what have we learned from it? On a personal note, I learned that I maybe shouldn’t be so nervous about public speaking, as my talk on coding from scratch went better than I thought it would, from the kind comments I’ve received (thanks, kind commenters). I took some valuable professional lessons away too, and have started putting them into practice. Thanks to Tom Martin’s talk, entitled “Why your blog is slow”, I finally got round to enabling gzip compression on my site, which made the homepage 80% smaller in filesize, therefore effectively making it much quicker to load. I also shoved all my JavaScript to the bottom of my page (where possible) so as to speed up the rendering of each page. Matt Machell’s talk finally got me to sign up on the Multipack forum, where I received a lovely welcome for my trouble. I learned that Jon Bounds has b...

The Rise of Critical Animal Studies: Putting Theory into Action and Animal
2009-05-30 20:30:00 By Steven Best[2]5/27/09Simulposted with ICAS?The capacity to contain and manipulate subversive imagination is an integral part of the given society.? Herbert MarcuseIn the last three decades, animal studies has experienced an exponential growth rate in the academy. The ?animal turn? in academic research has moved throughout humanities, the fine arts, and social sciences; it has crossed into fields such as psychology, philosophy, anthropology, political science, sociology; and it has made its mark in literature, history, cultural and critical studies and the arts, geography, philosophy, feminism, and queer theory. Currently, there are at least 40 courses being offered in departments that span these disciplines in universities and colleges in North America, the UK and New Zealand. The turn is manifest in an explosion of articles, books, conferences, and academic programs opening up from Canada to New Zealand.Without question, these trends will continue and animal studies will evolve ...
Show Your Employer The Economy Is Putting Your On Edge With A Funny, Yet Mo
2009-05-02 12:00:00 With the state of the economy, employers can bring a little humor to the workplace to show that they're feeling on the edge using a less than professional fashion statement.

Putting People in Prison For Their Genes!
2008-07-06 09:16:00 Image via Wikipedia Addiction Largely Determined By Our Genes - Annual Meeting Of The Royal College Of PsychiatristsThe mystery of why one person becomes hooked on alcohol, heroin, sex or gambling, and another remains free of addiction, lies deep in the brain and is largely determined by our genes - [Medical News Today, UK]This, should anyone consider it to be true, makes a mockery of the Misuse of Drugs Act's Class C and B with the duress of prison sentencing for ingestion of any kind of cannabis.

Putting The China Labor Law Cart Before The Horse
2008-07-05 18:26:00 Every month or so, a client comes to me in a panic with a "brilliant" idea for avoiding some short term problem. Examples abound: 1. One company with revenues of about $200 million a year was being sued for around $2 million by a hated competitor. The brilliant idea was to shut down the business during the slow season and reopen it as an entirely new business a month later, presumably rendering the first business judgment proof. When I told him we would charge him at least $2 million to do all this from a legal and tax standpoint and asked what he thought doing this would do to his company's truly excellent reputation, he quickly realized he had gone through a moment of temporary insanity. 2. One company came to me with over 50 offshore companies in complete disarray. Seems some lawyer (presumably a very rich one by now) had convinced them these structure made sense from a tax standpoint. I asked if this structure was saving them on taxes and their response was that they...

Stop Putting That On Me!
2008-06-06 15:37:00 I had some down time last weekend and I decided to read the backlog of articles, blogs and forum messages that I don't have time to get to during my week. One topic that kept leaping at me from the screen was about measuring a recruiter's success based on retention of the people they hired. Recruiting and retention can be so diametrically opposed. Yes, when we recruit, it is with the intention of bringing on solid players who begin contributing to the company's bottom line from day one. If we've done our jobs right, we would have found candidates who are great fits, love the company and are in sync with their department of hire. But even the best recruiter cannot hit this mark every single time. Now, I can't realistically let corporate recruiters off the hook 100% for retention. In the grand scheme of things, I believe we are responsible for at least 25%, with the other 75% of our energy focused on full life cycle recruiting and relationship building. We do have an oblig...

Eva putting on weight or is she the ?P? word?
2008-06-04 20:37:00 Eva Longoria has recently been pictured with a suspicious inflated stomach which has obviously fueled speculation that the Desperate Housewives actress is pregnant. Even though the actress has seen that she and husband Tony Parker would love to have kids, she has not confirmed that she is pregnant. I mean, Angelina Jolie was walking around with circus tent dresses and was obviously pregnant before she admitted that she was pregnant, so we may have to wait a while before we get any confirmation from Eva. Even then, Jack Black spilled the beans... Her publicist says, "We do not talk about clients' personal lives." Then what the heck are they there for?

Keep Putting On My Glasses While Asleep, Just Wondering Why I Keep Doing Th
2008-05-30 07:20:00 I wear glasses or contacts depending on my mood during the work week I wear glasses most of the time. Last few months I don?t know why this is but before I go to bed I take my glasses off then when I wake up in the morning my glasses are on. Therefore, at some point in the night I must put my glasses back on. Why I am doing this I really don?t know. I have been wearing glasses since I was 15 this is first time I have done this. I don?t want to break them while sleeping. I am going to have to hide them from myself before going to sleep. Then I was thinking could I be sleep walking and not know it but I don?t think so. Just something I was thinking about nothing really important. I keep putting on my glasses while asleep just wondering why I keep doing that. - Eyeglasses Prescription online!

Stop Worrying?Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?? (Matthew 6:25). Worrying means that we do not think God can look after the practical details of our lives.2. Stop Seeking What the Pagans Seek?So do not worry and say, ?What are we to eat?? or ?What are we to drink?? or ?What are we to wear?? All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all? (Matthew 6:31-32).Trust that God is looking after you and He provides for you.3. Start Seeking God?s Kingdom and Righteousness?But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides?
