ROME?Mayor Joseph Fusco was joined by Rev. Dr. Tom Hast on Thursday for a flag raising ceremony in honor of the Red Cross.

During the event Fusco declared that March 2013 will be known as Red Cross Month in Rome to raise awareness in the area about the organization.

?We are asking the community to reach out and support the American Red Cross in any way that they can,? Fusco said.

?Whether it?s through volunteering time, blood donations or financial assistance?there is so many things people can do that they might not even realize.?

For the last eight years Hast has volunteered for the Disaster Action Team for the Red Cross and has consistently donated blood for the last 38 years. Hast has also helped victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita.

?In difficult times I think it?s great that people come out and volunteer,? he said. ?A lot of people have time to give and talents?and the Red Cross is a great way to put those talents to work or other volunteer efforts.?

According the Red Cross they responded to nearly 70,000 disasters in this country by providing shelter, food, emotional support and other necessities. In the Mohawk Valley since July the Red Cross has responded to 48 local emergencies providing more than $35,000 worth of assistance.

Jennifer Balog, community chapter executive of the Mohawk Valley added that for those interested in donating a community blood drive will be held at the J. F. Kennedy Area in June.

Dow eases back from near record as a rally fades

NEW YORK (AP) ? An early rally has faded on Wall Street, pulling the Dow slightly lower and a bit further away from reaching a record.

The market was up for much of the day, then turned lower in the final minutes of trading.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a loss of 20 points, or 0.2 percent, at 14,054. That's 110 points below the record close it reached in October 2007. It came within 15 points of that level during the day Thursday.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index ended down a point, or 0.1 percent, at 1,514. The Nasdaq composite lost two points, or 0.1 percent, to close at 3,160.

Rising and falling stocks were about even on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was average, 3.7 billion shares.

Winners in Israel's game-changing election unlikely to lead charge for peace

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is still without a coalition more than a month after winning parliamentary elections, but amid the political horsetrading the next government's agenda is coming into view.

While the Israeli leader initially called for a super-sized coalition to grapple with foreign foes like Iran and regional instability, it increasingly appears that a divisive domestic issue ? entitlements for the ultra-Orthodox ? will be a top priority. That will push the peace process further onto the back burner as President Obama prepares to make his first visit to the country as president, which many hope will spur a renewed push for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Mr. Netanyahu?s coalition-building effort has been rattled by an unexpected alliance between two ascendant political parties which, despite their contradictory views on the Palestinians, have doggedly pursued a joint demand to end draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox, or Haredim.

With the deadline for coalition negotiations two weeks away, it looks like he won?t be able to form a majority government without them.

RECOMMENDED: How much do you know about Israel? Take the quiz

The axis between Yesh Atid, a centrist party that supports a Palestinian state, and the pro-settler Jewish Home party, which believes in annexing most of the West Bank, brushes aside a longstanding divide between hawks and doves. It also shows starkly that the Israeli public is more focused on socioeconomic issues than Arab-Israeli peace.

"This is a strange and wondrous moment in Israeli history?. For the first time we have a coalition of parties driven by a domestic agenda," says Yossi Klein Halevi, a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem.

"The political system has always deferred dealing with long-festering domestic problems because of external threats and emergencies. Those threats certainly exist today, but what has changed is that the Israeli public is demanding of its leadership that it learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time: 'Deal with our external threats, but don?t defer dealing with our internal problems.' "

The shift reflects both exhaustion and pessimism about Israel?s ability to solve the decades-old conflict with the Palestinians, even amid rising fears that a new intifada, or uprising, might erupt and that the two-state solution could be rendered unworkable. That change coincided with a rising concern about bread-and-butter issues, which first came to dominate the public agenda in summer 2011, when hundreds of thousands of Israelis staged street demonstrations over cost-of-living issues.

'SHARING THE BURDEN'

During the election campaign, Yesh Atid championed the middle class and the value of "sharing the burden," a code for ending government entitlements to the ultra-Orthodox that allows the burgeoning Israeli group to stay out of the army and the workforce in favor of religious study. Jewish Home, a party of Israeli religious nationalists, promised to block surging housing prices, and also supports integration of the ultra-Orthodox into the mainstream.

In coalition negotiations, both parties focused on reforming the draft, an issue that bridges much of the right and left, secular and religious.

Political commentators yesterday speculated that Netanyahu would partner with Yesh Atid and Jewish Home, while leaving the ultra-Orthodox out of the coalition.

"Some people believe that real peace isn?t expected, and because of that we can deal with domestic issues like the draft, and entitlements for the ultra-Orthodox," says Avraham Diskin, a professor of political science at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

When Yesh Atid and its charismatic leader Yair Lapid surprised pollsters with a second-place finish last month, it stoked hope that he would help moderate government policy toward the Palestinians and restart peace negotiations after being stalled for five years.

But cooperation with the Jewish Home seems to indicate that is not Mr. Lapid's priority. In a gesture to his ally, Lapid recently asked parliament members from his party not to participate in a tour sponsored by a pro-peace activist group. It was a reminder that the peace process was barely discussed during the election, and that parties that championed it fared poorly.

"The Israeli public didn?t vote on the two-state solution. It wasn?t a topic in the election," says Tal Shalev, a political reporter for the Walla news website. "The two big issues are the economy and the Haredim."

The team to beat in the third World Baseball Classic is two-time winner Japan. (AP Photo/Kyodo News) JAPAN OUT, MANDATORY CREDIT, NO LICENSING IN CHINA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA AND FRANCE

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) ? They'll play in the Far East and the Far West ? and in the Caribbean, too. Wherever they are, Miguel Cabrera and R.A. Dickey and dozens of All-Stars in the World Baseball Classic know the team to beat: two-time WBC winner Japan.

The Japanese are hoping to defend their title in the third edition of baseball's global tournament, having topped Cuba in the inaugural Classic in 2006 and South Korea three years later.

To do it, Japan ? with a roster that doesn't include a single player from Major League Baseball ? will have to win two rounds at home and then the semifinals and final at San Francisco's AT&T Park.

In their way will be an American team led by Dickey, Ryan Braun and Joe Mauer, trying to make up for a couple of underwhelming WBC showings ? and featuring Joe Torre's return to the top step of the dugout.

Team USA has plenty of motivation. The Americans didn't get out of the second round in 2006, then lost in the semifinals to Japan three years later.

"We'll probably be disappointed if we don't make it to San Francisco," said Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, slated to be the No. 2 starter in the U.S. rotation. "First and foremost, we're focused on getting there."

Japan's pro teams are known for their rigorous spring training regimen, which typically begins a couple of weeks before the major league clubs and feature all-day workouts with just a short break to eat.

"It's such a dedicated group of players. I go back to going over to Japan as a member of the Mets back in 74 and just noticing and at that time I didn't think necessarily that the Japanese could play at our level, maybe stature-wise," Torre said. "Even though their game was clean and disciplined, it just didn't look like they were as good as we were. That's certainly has changed."

Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez will play alongside San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval and Triple Crown winner Cabrera for Venezuela. The World Series champion Giants have had to plan carefully this spring to get through the Cactus League with much of their roster headed to the WBC ? Marco Scutaro on Venezuela, Angel Pagan and Andres Torres on Puerto Rico, Vogelsong and reliever Jeremy Affeldt on the U.S. team, closer Sergio Romo pitching for Mexico.

"It's my first time representing and I'm really looking forward to doing it," Pagan said. "The first two Classics I couldn't do it because I was either trying to make a team or I was trying to be the everyday player. It fills my heart to go out there and play in front of my countrymen and in front of my family. I did it when I played in New York and Puerto Rico but it's not the same when you're wearing the P.R. jersey."

And CarGo sure is confident in Venezuela's chances.

"I don't think we need practice ? Venezuela doesn't need practice," he said. "Japan, they train together for a long time and get prepared for that. We don't really get prepared for that ... put the uniform on, let's play."

In all, 45 big league all-stars, including seven MVPs, were on the final WBC rosters.

Many MLB players are torn between playing for their country or playing for the club that signs their paycheck ? especially those who might be on the bubble of making a major league roster or earning a starting job.

Gonzalez said the Venezuelans feel tremendous pressure to take part in the Classic, yet he understands why Seattle ace Felix Hernandez has passed after signing a $175 million, seven-year contract earlier this month that made him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball.

"You have to represent your team," Gonzalez said. "You see all the news about King Felix not playing for Venezuela and the whole country changes, they get upset that you're not going to play for your country. They think it's all about the money but, you know what, we've been working since we were 16 years old and we came from Venezuela to represent. ... I think made the right choice."

The inaugural 2006 Classic featured a pool-play format, while 2009 was double-elimination ? and this one will be a combination of both. The first round will be pool play, with the top two teams advancing. The second round is double-elimination, and the top two teams from each group will reach the semifinals.

The Americans will play their round-robin games at the Arizona Diamondbacks' Chase Field in Phoenix. The other first-round groups will play in: Fukuoka, Japan; Taichung, Taiwan; and, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

"The guys who have played this before were excited to get back to it," Torre said. "I think it's still something to get a little used to. Let's admit it, you play the USA team, MLB, even though there are a number of MLB players obviously playing for other countries, it's like putting on your Sunday best, you know, We're excited because we have a chance to beat them at their own game' so to speak."

Semifinals will be played March 17-18, with the championship March 19 in the Giants' waterfront ballpark.

That's where Sandoval cleared the fences three times in a Game 1 World Series win against the Tigers.

The guy known as Kung Fu Panda hopes to find his groove again for his country. If he does, and his nation wins it all, Sandoval will be World Series, Venezuelan and WBC titles to his credit.

"I'm trying to get the Triple Crown," Sandoval said.

WATCH FOR:

? Animated crowds with a different flavor than the regular MLB fans. Expect musical instruments, patriotic chants, face paint and flags. More than 1.5 million fans have attended games in first two WBC tournaments.

? This year's 16-team field was drawn from the top 12 nations in the last WBC, plus four others who qualified in a tournament last year. The WBC winner will be named "world champion" for the first time.

? Americans on a mission: Team USA failed to reach the championship game of the first two Classics.

? Players will be subject to drug testing by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

? San Juan will host games for the third time at Hiram Bithorn Stadium, to be played March 7-10.

? Sparkling new Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the shared spring venue of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, will be on display for the world to see. The ballpark hosts Pool D games between the U.S., Italy, Mexico and qualifier Canada.

Olive Garden promises cheaper food, more options?

Isolde Raftery , NBC News contributor ? ? ? 17 hrs.

Fret not, Olive Garden lovers: The ?endless? breadsticks aren?t going away.

But new management has big changes in store for the casual dining chain, which touts family-style Italian food and has struggled with declining sales.

The chain's president, Dave George told investors on Tuesday the changes include creating a new logo and toning down its the ?Old World Style," the Tuscan-style stonework and wooden archways that have been a signature part of Olive Garden restaurants since 2000.

"You're not going to see stainless steel showing up tomorrow in a Tuscan Farmhouse," George said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

George, who became Olive Garden's president in January, said the look would be ?more relevant.? Olive Garden is part of the Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants chain that includes Red Lobster and LongHorn Steakhouse.

The chain also plans to make its menus more varied and affordable. Darden Restaurants CEO Clarence Otis said that the changes are being made to be ?more responsive to the financial realities of our guests,? according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Among Olive Garden's changes: smaller plates, cheaper items and lower-calorie meals. New offerings, placed on the menu in October, include a 420-calorie lasagna primavera with chicken and a lunch calzone and sandwich combo that costs $6.95. Two weeks ago, all new uniforms were issued -- a more contemporary black button-down shirt and black slacks, a shift from the wide ties and white shirts.

The overhaul comes after same-restaurant sales fell 1.2 percent in the 2012 fiscal year that ended in May. For Darden, same-restaurant sales are a year-over-year comparison of sale volumes for restaurants open the last 16 months.

?We became overly confident,? read a line in George?s presentation. ?Our historical competitive advantage has narrowed.?

?We were slow to react to changing guest needs,? another slide said. ?The experience takes too long.?

RJ Hottovy, a senior restaurant analyst at Morningstar, said Olive Garden isn't alone. The casual dining market has become tougher in recent years, he said.

"The core casual dining patron finds itself in a much more difficult position than a decade ago -- that's put pressure on traffic trends," Hottovy said.

He said the rise of fast casual restaurants like Chipotle and Panera has also encroached on Olive Garden's market.

Dining experience aside, Darden Restaurants said it also was hurt by reports in November that the company planned to cut employee hours to avoid paying for health insurance as mandated for large companies by the Affordable Care Act. The company has since said it would not reduce the hours of full-time workers.

"That's a theme we're seeing across the restaurant industry, not Olive Garden specifically," Hottovy said. "I think that may have been a little bit overblown ... but I think it will be something that ends up pressuring margins for a lot of restaurants next year."

Olive Garden menus are largely the same at its 818 restaurants, although prices vary. At a restaurant outside of Seattle, a grilled chicken Caesar salad costs $11.95. At the same restaurant, a bowl of minestrone soup costs $5.95, and a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce costs $12.95. (Those previously mentioned doughy breadsticks come with every entr?e and are so popular that they have a Facebook page with 1.5 million ?likes.?)

Getting to grips with multicore's hugely disruptive technology ? an ...

There was some serious brainpower assembled at the recent Multicore World 2013 conference in Wellington.

Some of the subject matter was way-beyond the once over lightly understanding that I have of computers and computing. But the clear message was that there?s currently a big gap between what multicore computers (many cores on one chip) are capable of, and the programs to run them.

As an analogy, it is as if a car engine has eight cylinders, but there?s only fuel getting through to one or two of them ? vastly decreasing its possible performance.

Put another way, multicore hardware is way, way ahead of multicore software. (When you consider that 64+ cores on a chip are now being manufactured, it is obvious, as has often been stated, that hardware capability is no longer an issue). How this clear gap is resolved is very much a problem in search of an answer.

It would?ve been good to see a heavier concentration of government and corporate IT heavyweights at the two-day conference held at the Wellington Town Hall.

The line-up of speakers would grace any northern hemisphere conference (and no doubt pull in hundreds of attendees), looking over the horizon at where the actual bits and bytes of computing is heading.

In other words, as opposed to the frothy apps and gee-whiz retail end of things, this conference was about where all the hard work of computers, memory, transactions and data crunching takes place.

One of the underlying themes of the conference put together by Oamaru-based Nicolas Erdody (Open Parallel) is that NZ Inc has an opportunity as the world grapples with how to utilise the huge amount of power available, but not yet being accessed.

The (parallel) programming required to take advantage of multicore, where the instructions to and from each core has to inform and be informed by every other core, is not easy.

As Poul-Henning Kamp, a Danish software writer and inventor of ?Varnish? commented; ?parallelism is hard?..really, really hard.?

And one thing that hasn?t been decided is what computer language is best suited for writing parallel programming is still unclear ? and indeed numbers of languages could evolve.

New Zealand has the opportunity to be a niche operator and software supplier in this emerging world ? providing answers where others find it too difficult.

Ex-patriot Kiwi Dr Ian Foster (originally from Wellington, and these days among other roles the Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago) helped frame some of the already apparent and emerging possibilities capable through multicore in his keynote address.

(His, and the other presenters talks can be found here).

He described the exponentialism that multicores potentially provide as offering new paradigms that ?can bring about huge transformations?.

Where he sees the grunt of multicore having near-future effects are:

-????????? Digital visual effects

-????????? Digital fabrication (additive manufacturing)

-????????? Industrial internet (heavy industrial internet)

-????????? Data analytics (big data)

Foster says multicore is a hugely disruptive technology ? New Zealand has an opportunity to ride its wave, or (especially if the country doesn?t build a second fibre optic cable linking us to the rest of the world) be left behind.

Disclaimer:

I helped write some of the publicity and press releases around Multicore World 2013. The thoughts above are mine alone however.

Video Marketing 101: Tips To Make It Work | The Great Blacks In ...

Online marketing through video is the future. As long as you have a camera, you can do it too. Because there are faster Internet connections now, it?s not hard to share a video. The following article has some great video marketing tips.

Use this information to make a video and have it succeed. Video promotion is key too. If you market your videos well enough, you can get a 900% increase in your subscriber base in a relatively short time. You can produce great content, but you also have to make sure targeted customers see your content.

You should think of a creative and catchy way to greet and send your viewers off. Start by saying who you are, your company, and what your video will be about. At the end, remind them of who you are and include the call to action.

Video marketing can enhance your web and social media presences. If someone sees your video on YouTube, they may not realize you also have a Facebook page. Marketing your videos on different social and websites will help broaden your audience. Social media sites that you link to a video can increase traffic by quite a bit.

TIP! Post your videos on YouTube and your primary website. People will be able to view your video and they will get great information on your business.

Your can keep your audience interested by creating more quality content. Boring content only repels viewers, which is not good for your business. It?s better to give customers just a taste of what they want so they?ll come back for more. The better your videos are, the better chance you?ll have at attracting viewers.

Optimize your videos for both computers and mobile devices. Unlike computer and laptops, these devices have considerably smaller screens and lower resolution. Your users will be pleased that you remembered them.

Use a tripod for more professional marketing videos. The only time a shaky camera is good is in a horror film. Marketing material needs clean, steady shots. The majority of visitors will give a video just a couple of seconds before they determine whether they will keep watching.

Give customers a closer look through video marketing. Take videos of the work that goes into your products and services, or give people a quick peek at the more humorous side of your office. Viewers will respond well to this.

TIP! Now that you have successfully integrated keywords and transcripts, you still have to address the subject matter in your videos. Is your video interesting? By providing this needed service, you are performing a basic step within the marketing process.

Humor can be a useful tool in video marketing. No one wants to see a boring commercial. If you have a controversial or funny commercial, it will catch and hold your potential customers? attentions. Get creative with your videos. Adding humor to your video can help push it into the social sites where you can really take off.

The most searched for topic online is how to do something. If you develop a tutorial, you will attract individuals wanting to study that subject, which represents a built-in niche audience for your product or service. People will be more interested in what you are offering if they think of you as an expert.

Are there certain questions that are asked about your products or services on a regular basis? If this is the case, you can search for videos to help you learn more. Providing brief, simple videos as a sort of ?How To Guide? helps to inform and educate your viewers, making them more likely to trust your brand and make a purchase.

Your marketing videos need to be as concise as possible. People have busy lives and will tune out if you make your videos too long and tedious. Give them the information quickly. If you do have to make a longer video, break it up into separate sections, which is easier to digest for the viewer.

TIP! Make sure your video is brief and has a lot of information in it. People on the Internet want to move around quickly.

You can use a video contest to increase your traffic and video content. This can be a funny video, demonstration, or anything you like. Sharing user videos is a great way for your customers and you to learn more about each other.

Make sure to let a little of your personality show when you are creating you are videos. Viewers will appreciate being able to relate to you. You will increase customer loyalty by becoming more than just a business. Your face will be permanently linked with the products you sell.

Videos with time-lapse photography are a ton of fun. After setting up your video camera in a single location, allow it to continuously record for as long as you?d like. Later on, you will have the ability to do some editing and develop a terrific messaging conduit for your business. It is interesting to customers to get an inside view of the company, and it makes them feel more comfortable with being a customer.

Be consistent with the tone of your marketing videos. How-to videos are not necessarily better than a funny one. Think about your product and the demographic you are striving for. Use this to figure out what you?re going to make your videos like. They can be more serious, or more fun, depending on who you?re trying to work with.

TIP! If you want to promote a certain product or service in a video, you need to provide your viewers with a link they can follow to obtain the product or service. This link is ideally within the player.

Once you have some good information, you should be able to launch your own video marketing campaign. Keep in mind the information you have learned here, and use it while creating your own content. If you take the time to implement everything you know, you will see how video marketing will benefit you.

Do you want to create a full-time income with an business opportunity you can run from your home instead of going to a regular day job? If that?s you, the most important factor to make it happen is to adjust your mindset. Orrin Woodward is one of the top authority in balancing different areas of life to build stronger, sustainable, and repeatable profitable enterprise from home. He is also a co-founder of the LIFE business.
