What a strange post
Like Sushi? Join the Central PA Sushi Meetup Group!After I stumbled upon this group on Meetup.com I immediately had to help get the word out. What a great way to meet new people and enjoy some incredible cuisine! The group has over 100 members (and growing) and has already planned a few meetups at local sushi spots - the last of which had 44 people in attendance! The group does maintain a blog if you’d like ...

Very inspiring talk
Copied from the original about meeting people's goals from http://servinginlove.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/forget-about-meeting-needs-meet-people-instead/
Think about it – People act on what they CARE about. Persons of faith know that something unusual happens when people care enough to act.
A critically important asset in any neighborhood is what people want to do because they care. Tragic or uplifting, acting because we care is a great and powerful force. All the assets in a community are woven like threads in a tapestry by a willingness to act on care.
Care is a fabric of those threads woven through every community to form a tapestry that people can come to recognize. We can make the texture and strength of this community fabric become more visible through asking and listening, “What do you care about? What will you do about that?” When this tapestry is clearly displayed, people find common interest and the power of acting together.
At its essence, community building is the result of laying cornerstones consisting of three interacting activities: personal dialogs to discover what people care about, meaningful action upon what people care about, and the nurturing of community when neighborhood care enough to act together. These three foundation blocks are different manifestations of the same central certainty, the living heart of every community and a path to social and spiritual vitality. When believers intentionally build relationships inside the congregation and outside in the surrounding community, a new energy for life together is discovered.

News from Reuters
By Chris Buckley
BEIJING (Reuters) - China confronts a big gap between citizens' rising demands for legal protection and a court system struggling with inefficiency and poorly trained judges, the top judicial official said on Monday.
In his annual report to parliament, Xiao Yang, the president of China's Supreme People's Court, listed achievements courts had made in past five years, but said serious problems remained. We cannot meet people's demands.
"We must also soberly understand that there remains quite a stark contradiction at present between people's constantly growing demands on the judiciary and the abilities of the people's courts," he told parliament.
Under the ruling Communist Party, there is no independence for the courts, prosecutors, police or judges, who answer to local party chiefs. But China's citizens are becoming increasingly vocal about their rights and in calls for accountability.
Xiao said "the legal environment" needed to be improved continuously to give more independence to courts, which are funded and effectively controlled by local governments.
"We should ... repel all kinds of disruption to ensure the people's courts can hear cases independently, fairly and according to law," said Xiao, who has been lauded by Chinese media as reform-minded in his 10 years as Supreme Court president.
Xiao said that in 2008, the focus of the courts would be on severely punishing perpetrators of major crimes, while protecting human rights and ensuring citizens received a fair hearing.
Over the past five years, Chinese courts have dealt with 1.2 million cases of violent crime, including murder, kidnap and robbery, which Xiao said was a rise of 10.1 percent over the previous five-year period.

DAMASCUS, Ark. - Violent storms rolling across the nation's midsection unleashed tornadoes, high winds and hail in four states and killed seven people in Arkansas on Friday, including a teenager who died when a tree fell into her bedroom as she slept.
Where do you meet those people?
The storms late Thursday and early Friday ripped off roofs and toppled train cars near Kansas City, Mo.; pelted parts of Oklahoma with hail; and knocked over tents at a popular open-air market in east Texas. Severe thunderstorms were moving into Kentucky and could make for a wet Kentucky Derby on Saturday.

WASHINGTON - Turns out Louisiana and Mississippi weren't quite finished with the Democratic presidential campaign. Sen. Barack Obama won each state's primary earlier this year. But these days his face still appears in television ads in both states, this time from Republicans trying to turn him into a liability for Democrats in two looming special elections for long-held Republican seats. The Republicans are flirting with disaster

Just a thought
In this fast paced world we live in, sometimes we don't make time to socialize. Before you know it, your friends have all gone their own ways and often you are left alone. You sit night after night watching TV or spending time on the computer.
The computer you say, can help you meet people. Sometimes it can, but more often than not, it's just faceless, meaningless chatroom conversation. It's better to get outside of your home, see people face-to-face, socialize and have fun!
There are many reasons you may not get out to meet people. You're too busy, too tired, too shy, too frustrated by the social scene, and just overwhelmed by it all. But the alternative is to be alone.
Listed next are 25 places to meet people. Some ideas to help get you motivated to go out and make some new friends. All you have to do is leave your house! You have nothing to lose and so much to gain: FRIENDS! Change your attitude, be open to possibilities, relax, and have fun. Bars and nightclubs are not mentioned as there are many better and preferred ways to meet people.

Here's a snagged screen pointing to video recording and playback coming to the Sidekick LX in a future update. Nothing definitive on which codecs will be supported, but possibly H.264, which YouTube encodes videos in for Apple, meaning you might be able to watch YouTube videos. Or it could be a different one, and there's no word on whether there'll be a dedicated YouTube app. Regardless, video capabilities of some kind seem to be in the pipe. First flirt with people

Crush or Flush offered to advertisers
Crush or Flush members can now give advertisers a thumbs-up or thumbs-down -- just like they do with each other.
IceBreaker Inc’s mobile social networking site added Golden Ticket, a component that allows advertisers to create profiles for their wares, just as members create profiles for themselves. Community members can approve (crush) or reject (flush) the come-on; those who “crush” an ad are invited to click a link to interact with the company.
The Seattle-area startup said the pitches are targeted on tags in users’ profiles. IceBreaker said the feature “received positive feedback” during a trail with five sponsors earlier this year. Meet people
IceBreaker’s strategy highlights the biggest challenge social networking companies face: turning traffic into dollars. Even behemoths like MySpace, Facebook and Orkut are struggling to monetize massive followings online and in mobile.

Crush or Flush Introduces Dynamic Advertising to Mobile Social Network
Tuesday April 15, 6:00 am ET
New Feature Empowers Marketers to Reach Targeted Audience With Immersive Brand Experience
BELLEVUE, Wash., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- As marketers are searching for relevant ways to connect with consumers, IceBreaker Inc., a pioneer in mobile social software, today announced a new interactive mobile advertising feature called Golden Ticket(TM) which is now an integral part of the Crush or Flush community. Crush or Flush is a social network where members meet people, chat and flirt by browsing real picture profiles and decide whether to 'Crush' or 'Flush' them. Members average 100 page views per day in the Crush or Flush community and with the introduction of Golden Ticket, members can discover sponsored branded picture profiles while exploring other member profiles. More unique and engaging than traditional banner ads, Golden Ticket profiles gives marketers the ability to deliver high value brand impressions through an immersive experience that is targeted, relevant, exclusive and provides members the choice to engage directly with the brand or dismiss it.

"Mobile advertising has great growth-potential and we predict that advertising revenues within on-deck mobile social networking services can reach $102.6 million by 2012," said Vikrant Gandhi, a senior analyst with Frost & Sullivan. "The model presented by Crush or Flush is innovative and promising by allowing people to interact with brands as if they were real profiles on the site while also opening a new revenue channel for online and mobile social networks."
During testing phases earlier this year, the feature received positive feedback over the duration of a highly visible Valentine's Day promotion. Five Golden Ticket sponsorships ran in the community and on average, 82 percent of the site's members chose to 'Crush' the brands. Each brand was coupled with a special Valentine's Day promotion which offered members an incentive to interact with the brand. Specifically, the 106.1 KISS FM Golden Ticket gave members an extra entry to win a vacation package, flat panel TV, and invited them to sign up to become a KISS VIP. This mobile promotion was tied into an on air promotion and both Crush or Flush and 106.1 KISS FM saw a high level of brand engagement.
"The Crush or Flush service is a good match for our target demographic," said Marc Apple, Promotion Director, 106.1 KISS FM. "We were pleased with the Golden Ticket results which were a twist on our traditional integrated marketing communications plan and drove brand awareness, loyalty and sign ups for KISS VIP."
Golden Ticket sponsored profiles consist of a photo of the brand and tags describing the product. For example, a member with the tag 'music' may come across a branded profile promoting KISS FM, giving the member the option to 'Crush' or 'Flush' the profile. If the member crushes the profile, they have the option to engage further by clicking a link to sign up for a KISS event, download a song, or join a VIP program.
More details on the Golden Ticket feature:
-- Exclusive availability: Golden Ticket placements are exclusive by
category: automotive, elections, fashion, games, movies, music,
mobile, sports, and travel. New categories will open based on market
demand.
-- Cameo appearance: the site programs how frequently members see
sponsored profiles. Based on real time performance, market demands and
campaign goals, Crush or Flush and marketers can adjust the frequency.
-- Inviting brands to your circle of friends: The Golden Ticket allows
marketers to find customers who are willing to promote their brands
within their peer groups.
"We're excited to launch an immersive 'opt-in' brand experience and open up a new revenue model," said Josh Levine, vice president of marketing for IceBreaker. "Advocacy is the holy grail of advertising and brands are clamoring to move beyond awareness and usage metrics to ultimately find customers who are willing to promote their brands within their peer groups."
For information on the Golden Ticket or Crush or Flush visit http://www.CrushorFlush.com or send an email to ads@icebreaker.mobi.
About Crush or Flush(TM)
Members create picture profiles with tags and personal descriptions so that others can see who they are and what their interests are. Members then browse picture profiles by gender, age, location, and interest. If they find someone they like, they 'Crush' them. If not, they 'Flush' them. When two people like each other, they are notified of their mutual crush and can send anonymous text messages to each other without giving up any of their personal information. Further contact is up to them. Members will never know if they have been flushed, saving embarrassment for all. Crush or Flush is available through the mobile web on all cell phones, carriers and operators across the U.S. To sign up for Crush or Flush, text 'FREE' to CRUSH (27874) on your mobile phone or visit http://www.CrushorFlush.com.

"The Crush or Flush service is a good match for our target demographic," said Marc Apple, Promotion Director, 106.1 KISS FM. "We were pleased with the Golden Ticket results which were a twist on our traditional integrated marketing communications plan and drove brand awareness, loyalty and sign ups for KISS VIP."
Golden Ticket sponsored profiles consist of a photo of the brand and tags describing the product. For example, a member with the tag 'music' may come across a branded profile promoting KISS FM, giving the member the option to 'Crush' or 'Flush' the profile. If the member crushes the profile, they have the option to engage further by clicking a link to sign up for a KISS event, download a song, or join a VIP program.
More details on the Golden Ticket feature:
-- Exclusive availability: Golden Ticket placements are exclusive by
category: automotive, elections, fashion, games, movies, music,
mobile, sports, and travel. New categories will open based on market
demand.
-- Cameo appearance: the site programs how frequently members see
sponsored profiles. Based on real time performance, market demands and
campaign goals, Crush or Flush and marketers can adjust the frequency.
-- Inviting brands to your circle of friends: The Golden Ticket allows
marketers to find customers who are willing to promote their brands
within their peer groups.
"We're excited to launch an immersive 'opt-in' brand experience and open up a new revenue model," said Josh Levine, vice president of marketing for IceBreaker. "Advocacy is the holy grail of advertising and brands are clamoring to move beyond awareness and usage metrics to ultimately find customers who are willing to promote their brands within their peer groups."

About Crush or Flush(TM)
Members create picture profiles with tags and personal descriptions so that others can see who they are and what their interests are. Members then browse picture profiles by gender, age, location, and interest. If they find someone they like, they 'Crush' them. If not, they 'Flush' them. When two people like each other, they are notified of their mutual crush and can send anonymous text messages to each other without giving up any of their personal information. Further contact is up to them. Members will never know if they have been flushed, saving embarrassment for all. Crush or Flush is available through the mobile web on all cell phones, carriers and operators across the U.S. To sign up for Crush or Flush, text 'FREE' to CRUSH (27874) on your mobile phone or visit http://www.CrushorFlush.com.
