'Family Guy' Renewed, 'American Dad' Renewed, No Word On 'The Cleveland Show'

"The Bachelor"

"The Bachelor," ABC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: You really think we've seen the last rose handed out? Not in a million years. ABC has already tapped their next "Bachelorette," and we know they'll have their eyes peeled for a hot rejected man from that spinoff to be the next "Bachelor" ... that is if Tim Tebow says no.

"The Bachelorette," ABC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: "Bachelor" Brad's also-ran Emily Maynard is getting her turn as the rose giver for the seventh season of "The Bachelorette" this summer. As long as there are people willing to look for love on reality TV, this show will keep on trucking.

"Body of Proof," ABC
Status: On the bubble
Why: "Body of Proof" has been falling below its timeslot competitor, CBS's "Unforgettable." It still draws a decent audience, so it's hard to tell whether we'll be seeing more of this show, but things aren't looking good.

"Castle," ABC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: This show's ratings have definitely suffered without "Dancing With the Stars" airing beforehand, but it is a consistent performer. It's likely we'll see another season ordered.

"Charlie's Angels," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: Not really a shock for anybody, but "Charlie's Angels" is cooked. Flimsy story, bad remake, questionable casting.

"Cougar Town," ABC
Status: Renewed -- for TBS!
Why: The Season 3 ratings weren't boosted much by holding this show until midseason, but ABC's wonky air schedule also didn't help ... which is why the news that TBS has picked up the show for a fourth season is huge. Cheers with your Big Carl!

"Dancing With the Stars," ABC
Status: Likely to be renewed
Why: "DWTS" may have lost its luster in the ratings, but if the cast for the upcoming 14th season can generate enough controversy, the viewers will come.

"Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," ABC
Status: Too soon to tell
Why: ABC's new bleep-worthy comedy starring Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker and James Van Der Beek is a funny one, but we won't know how it fares until it premieres (Wed., April 11, 9:30 p.m. EST).

"Desperate Housewives," ABC
Status: Canceled
Why: After countless deaths, murders, betrayals and natural disasters on Wisteria Lane over the show's eight seasons, the ladies of "Desperate Housewives" will say goodbye forever this May.

Austerity is a dirty word in Europe but what next?

PARIS (AP) The day after Francois Hollande rode to power in France on a slogan of "change now," the conversation in Europe was already different Monday: Austerity had become a dirty word.

What replaces it, though, was anything but clear.

The newly powerful in France and Greece want to roll back the spending cuts and tax increases that have defined Europe's response to its 3-year-old debt crisis. But campaign rhetoric is likely to prove more extreme than any real-world reversal of the budget tightening.

World financial markets took Europe's latest round of political upheaval in stride, convulsing early and then recovering. The continent's uncertain future including the possibility of Greece leaving the euro was causing anxiety but not panic about the threat to the global economy.

But there is hardly unity in Europe.

Sunday night, Socialist president-elect Hollande celebrated his victory over Nicolas Sarkozy by vowing, "Austerity can no longer be inevitable!"

On Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel gently pushed back.

She rejected Hollande's call to renegotiate a treaty signed last month on tougher action to control government deficits. "We in Germany, and I personally," she said, "believe the fiscal pact is not up for negotiation."

Still, she stressed the importance of French-German cooperation and her willingness to meet soon with Hollande.

Economists said that while the anti-austerity winds are bound to stir up short-term political instability, especially in Greece, they could eventually bring some financial calm.

Entity Based SEO for Lawyer Marketing & Branding

Google has implemented several changes to help support the broad goal of providing users with better content quality with the results generated from search queries. The use of search entities is the latest step towards the effort to help the search engine differentiate between content that is relevant to users and that, which lacks substance.

What are search entities?

Entities in terms of search are any items that have a real world existence that may be queried by users. Google assigns to various entities attributes that support the search engines understanding of what the searched term may mean. For example, if the term personal injury lawyer is searched, traditional query results may have included items that represented the words personal injury and lawyer as separate terms. However, the new algorithm changes aid the search engine in understanding it and other long-tail keywords as one meaningful phrase.

Attorneys and law firms can reap the benefit of Googles entity based search. It can support the efforts of legal professionals to be regarded as an online authority in their chosen practice areas.

Social Media Marketing Strategies: How 3 Companies Changed Their Fortunes With Digital

When MySpace ruled the social media world in the early 2000s, everyone believed social networks were only sources of entertainment. Ten years later, social networking has not only taken a central role in our daily lives, it's also integral to any successful business strategy. If you want your business to succeed, it better have a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or any number of specialty social sites like Pinterest or SoundCloud.

Until about five years ago, however, the true impact of these networks could not be measured precisely. But now, we can see that the social networking boom has unleashed great waves that are breaking business models left and right, and it's all for the better.

Social media give companies a chance to humanize themselves, giving fans exclusive content in return for their loyalty. Not only do companies gain more fans over Facebook and Twitter than any other platform, but companies can use one of several analytics tools to measure the growth of their brand on those networks to find out the topics or methods that resonate best with fans. It's an effective strategy, and it's helped change the fortunes of several companies on the brink of solvency.

Jeff Ragovin, the co-founder and chief strategy officer at Buddy Media, spoke at Mashable Connect 2012 in Orlando, Fla., to explain why companies must "adapt [to social], or die." In his lecture, he used three companies -- Mattel, Ford, and Kodak -- as poster children for why social media are an essential part of one's marketing strategy.

Mattel and the Bald Barbie

Like us on Facebook

On Dec. 20, 2011, a Facebook page was launched for a "Beautiful & Bald Barbie," but it wasn't launched by Mattel. The page was started by two women -- Jane Bingham and Rebecca Sypin -- and its mission was to build enough momentum to eventually petition Mattel to create a bald Barbie for kids with cancer.

When it launched, it started because Bingham and Sypin both had daughters who lost their hair due to cancer treatment, and they wanted a bald Barbie to make the baldness feel "normal." The story spread fast, and the Facebook page grew from 0 to 40,000 fans in a few weeks. A month later in January, the story got out to media outlets. By March, the page had 150,000 fans. Thousands of photos and stories were shared about kids with cancer, and more than 150,000 people poured out petitions to Mattel, and pictures of their own children fighting cancer, all for the sake of getting this doll made.

Finally, on March 27, Mattel announced it would produce a bald Barbie with wigs, hats and scarves.

"Play is vital to children, especially in difficult times," Mattel said.
