I got this one on a beautiful Tuesday morning. My dear friend, spd2662, came along to get other treaurers after I retrieved "Was Red." Jon was at the helm. When we arrived at our landing zone, we gathered all the necessary equipment and set out on our trek to GZ. As we walked, we took in many B-E-A-UTIFUL sights along the DWP trail.
It was time to get off the path. The GPSr says to turn right. As I make my approach, spd's voice is diminishing. I see he is behind me letting me make the grab. I look at my GPSr and it says 8 feet. I spot it. I see my last 8 feet could be treaky. I brace my self and expect to slide a little bit. I thought nothing more. No big deal right? NOT!
All of a sudden, I was crashing out of control. I was sliding and picking up speed with every passing second. All of a sudden, my balance was gone and I started to tumble. I kept my eyes open trying to squat to stop myself. No good! I remember letting go of my GPSr just before I rolled over again and hit my head on a rock. I finally stopped about 15 feet from the raging river in front of me. I look behind me and notice that my GPSr (iPad 2) is alright and resting peacefully about 10 feet above my head. Whew!
I saw a couple drops of blood on the little rock where I finally stopped tumbling and rolling. I quickly grabbed my handkerchief and applied direct pressure. Training is good for you. You never know when you're going to need that valuable information from Basic First Aid Class. Today was the day.
I cried out to SPD, I'm hurt! I hit my head on a rock. I'm OK. He heard me and immediately made his way to me. He didn't fall though. He checked me out and asked if I could walk. Yep, let's go! Sure, my head hurt and it was bleeding a little bit but I was ready to go on.
We made it back to the treasure chest and I said to SPD, hold it! I have to sign the logbook. I retrieved the log and made my mark. The next thing I said was, Let's go to the doctor. My head was swelling up real fast. It felt like I had a softball protruding out from underneath my Jeff Gordon hat.
We get to the Denfeld Clinic. Two nurses in Urgent Care saw me and said, Blood - I'm out of here. That made me feel comfortable. Arrr!
About 2 minutes went by and I was in the room. Dr. McCain came in and said, That's gotta hurt. I'll fix you up. Ten stiches later He said all done. The nurse wrapped my held with a pressure bandage.
I got to tell you, I LOVE GEOCACHING!!! The Doctor said ten days and he'll take the stiches out.

Can't top that. But I was reminded of my injury story this week when my friend at the gym asked -- how did you get that 4 inch scar on your calf?
I was caching one winter and got snagged on some barbed wire and ripped my new jeans! Dangit!! Didn't realize I also ripped myself. Got home, changed clothes and realized I had a 10-inch gash that was bleeding quite a bit.
I think these injury stories should have a moral. So mine is, keep your tetanus shots up to date!!

I sprained my ankle quite badly jumping over a log and landing on unexpectedly uneven ground. Tore cartilage in my knee when I slid sideways on a slippery hill.
I heard from a reliable source of an older guy who was killed when he backed up and fell into a hole. This was quite a few years ago. He was visiting the area from Utah - or thereabouts.

Going for a cache in Whitewater State Park on an icy, drizzly morning , I slipped on some leaves covering a wet rock which sent me on about a 50 foot slide, on my back, head first, straight for a cliff. My favorite tree on earth is that little 1 inch diameter maple that stopped me from going over the edge. I was a bloody mess when I walked into the park office to clean myself up in their restroom.
Ahhhhhhhh, the power of cheese!

Besides the minors scrapes and stuff from bushwhacking, the worst injury I've sustained while caching was pre-WNC back in 2006 in Bloomington at this cache:
A group of us were looking for the cache and couldn't find it. I was walking up the rocky incline and slipped and my shin landed on a small sapling about 1/2" in diameter that had been cut off. It missed the bone but went into the meaty part next to the bone. It bled pretty good but didn't keep me from finishing the night!
Given all the crazy things I did as a newbie back then, I'm thankful that is the worst of my injuries.

Oh yeah, I remember biking in a Washington County park a couple years back. I was heading down this trail overgrown with grass. I had to be cruising about 20 or more MPH. I ran right into a log that was across the path covered with the grass. Literally, in less than the blink of an eye, my bike up ended me and I flew about 40 feet landing on my face. I was not wearing a helmet so luckily no other trees or boulders were in my path. And luckily, both me and the bike were able to walk away.
I keep thinking that if there was anything in my path, I'd be in a wheelchair or dead. Because it happened so fast there was literally no reaction time. It's almost as if I blacked out for a moment because all I remember is biking fast and then lying on the ground. I don't remember flying throught the air.

I accidentally shot myself through the hand with a construction nailgun. It happened so fast I didn't even feel it. Pulling the nail out, with the barbs on it, now THAT hurt.
Ok, not geocaching related.

The coffin was built with precision and every seem was screwed together. No nailguns involved with that. I was using the nailgun while looking for a place to rent a canoe though.

GSA Wins Eight of 35 NEA Degisn Awards
April 26, 2000
Contact: Viki Reath 202-501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) won eight of 35 Federal Design Achievement Awards for 2000 presented by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
"It is gratifying to know that we at GSA are helping to ensure that good design is an integral part of responsible stewardship," said Robert A. Peck, GSA's Public Buildings Service Commissioner, who accepted the awards on the part of the agency. "At GSA, we have intensified our design excellence efforts through our Office of the Chief Architect, and the achievements are greater each year. Public buildings are not just places where public business is conducted, but represent what government is about. As such, GSA strives to build buildings designed by the best designers working in America today."
The quadrennial Federal Design Achievement Awards were established in 1983 as part of the Presidential Design Awards program. This year's award-winners now are under consideration for Presidential Awards for Design Excellence, which are presented by the President for the highest quality of design based on international standards.
Bill Ivey, NEA's chairman, presented the awards at the Women in Military Service For America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery on
April 20. GSA's eight winning projects, chosen from 338 entries by 22 private-sector designers, are:
Calexico - U.S. Port of Entry (architecture)
Menlo Park - Vincent E. McKelvey Federal Building (architecture)
San Francisco - U.S. Court of Appeals (historic preservation)
Boston - U.S. Courthouse (architecture)
Bowie - U.S. Census Bureau National Data Processing Center (architecture)
Minneapolis - U.S. Federal Courthouse Plaza (landscape architecture)
New York:
Niagara Falls - U.S. Customs and Immigration Center, Rainbow Bridge (architecture)
Point Roberts - U.S. Port of Entry (architecture)

It's been a volatile time for the markets the last few weeks. Today especially – the Dow closed down 635 points; S&P, -80; NASDAQ, -175. While there's no shortage of opinions on how/why the market will/will not recover, one thing is for certain – having the right data to make decisions is more important than ever.
Part of the reason for this is that the markets are clamoring for trends – definitive information on stock trends and market sentiment. Which is why it's exciting to see how our finance clients are using the Gnip realtime social media data feeds. In a time of increased volatility, our hedge fund (and other buy-side) clients are leveraging social media data as a new source of analysis and trend identification. With an ever-growing number of users, and Tweets, per day, Twitter is exploding, and market-leading funds are looking at the data we provide as a way to more accurately tap into the voice of the market. They're looking at overall trend data from millions of Tweets to predict the sentiment of consumers as well as researching specific securities based on what's being said about them online.
While the early-adopters of this data have been funds, this type of analysis is available to individuals as well. Check out some start-ups doing incredible things at the intersection of finance and social media:
- Centigage provides analytics and intelligence designed to enable financial market participants to use social media in their investment decision-making process
- SNTMNT offers an online tool that gives daily insights into online consumer sentiment surrounding 25 AEX funds and the index itself
For the first time in history, access to (literally) millions of voices is at our fingertips. As the market continues its volatility, those voices gain resonance as a source of pertinent information.

Solving Common Problems in viewing Web Lectures
(Press your browser's "Back" button to return to the lecture.)
Here are some suggestions for how to solve common problems that might arise when trying to view a Web Lecture.
- Problem: No video window appears, or you are told that you must download a plug-in.
Solution: RealPlayer is required to view a Web Lecture. If you do not have RealPlayer installed then you should download it here.
Some lectures can be viewed using QuickTime instead of RealPlayer. You will then have to download and install QuickTime before you can view the lecture. You can do so here.
- Problem: RealPlayer won't start.
Solution: You may have an old version of RealPlayer which cannot play newer files. The solution is to download the latest version of RealPlayer. You will find instructions for doing this here.
- Problem: The video constantly pauses for "Buffering..."
Solution: Either you are connected to the internet via a slow link (eg. modem dial-up) or there is a lot of congestion on your network.
If you are connected via a slow link then you might get better performance by selecting the "audio only" version of the lecture.
If the interruptions occur during the slide changes then the problem may be the extra bandwith required to load the slide image of the network. You can get around this problem by pre-loading the slide images by viewing the Lecture Index. To do so,Press the button.If you are suffering from network congestion you might try viewing the lectures at another time of day when there is less network activity. You might also want to discuss the problem with your network administrator, who may be able to give you advice or make improvements to your local network.
- Problem: The slides don't change as the lecture progresses.
Solution: This is a known problem with the plug-in video version under Unix. If you are using Unix then you should view the "detached" version of the lecture, which will display the RealPlayer video in a separate window.
- Problem: The "Go To Slide" menu doesn't work.
- Netscape:
- Internet Explorer:
- To enable scripting from the Web Lecture server pull down Tools -> Internet Options... and then push the Security tab. Select the "Trusted Sites" zone and push the "Sites..." button. Enter the name or domain of the Web Lecture server in the box marked "Add this Web site to the zone", and uncheck the box for "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone, then press "OK".
- Problem: The "Syncronize" button does not work.
(Press your browser's "Back" button to return to the lecture.)

Did you know?
The oldest example of rock art featured on the wall of a rock shelter in the region dates back 2 400 years.
Lying in the foothills of the mighty uKhahlamba-Drakensberg, a World Heritage Site, is a typical rural farm town where dusty roads, pristine mountain streams and enormous sandstone backdrops have sculpted the rustic haven that is Underberg.
Although relatively small, Underberg is always bustling with vehicles and locals stocking up on groceries and farm supplies. The town features a few grocery stores and general dealers, two small malls, hardware suppliers, a butchery, art and craft stores, a few restaurants, quaint pubs, clothing stores and a petrol station.
Travellers from afar use the town, founded in 1886, and its surrounds as a convenient base from which to explore the Sani Saunter. This is a tourism region demarcated by Loteni in the north and Bushman's Nek in the south, and includes Underberg's cosy neighbour, Himeville, 5km down the road.
Thanks to the Mzimkhulu River,the most popular attraction in this part of South Africa is fly-fishing, followed by hiking, with the Underberg-Himeville Trout Fishing Club alone enjoying rights to more than 160km of river and 60 dams.
The 35 300ha Garden Castle State Forest offers lovely scenic walks and numerous rock art sites in sandstone caves typical of the 'Berg.
Hiking, biking and river tubing opportunities abound, with hikers presented with a mixture of slow, meandering trails and a challenging trek up Rhino Peak to enjoy magnificent views over neighbouring Lesotho.
Despite the mountainous basalt and sandstone terrain, there are 18 holes to be played at the Glengarry Golf Course, the only golf course in the area.
Nature lovers ought to visit the 104ha Himeville Nature Reserve and the Swamp Nature Reserve near Pevensey where endemic wildlife and bird species may be seen. Add to this the trout-fishing allure of the 1159ha Vergelegen Reserve for a well-rounded wildlife option.
One of the most enjoyable means of sightseeing in the Drakensberg is on horseback. Khotso Horse Trails head into the foothills at 9am daily for horseback tours.
During Easter, the Splashy Fen Music Festival attracts thousands of visitors to the southern Drakensberg for four days of music, art, crafts, food and drink.

I don't have a dictionary handy, and there's a section here that gets altered without explanation.
Is the underlined section wrong, tricky, or meaning-unknown? Nappajānāti, fine. Appajānanto...should there be an initial 'n'?
Sabbaasava Sutta -- abandon by seeing: puthujjano "manasikaraṇīye dhamme nappajānāti, amanasikaraṇīye dhamme nappajānāti. So manasikaraṇīye dhamme appajānanto amanasikaraṇīye dhamme appajānanto, ye dhammā na manasikaraṇīyā, te dhamme manasi karoti, ye dhammā manasikaraṇīyā te dhamme na manasi karoti.
Thanissaro and Bodhi/Nanamoli edit out the whole underlined section, translating it as "this being so," which would mean appajānanto is a regular participle of nappajānāti = 'does not know/understand'?
Normally thorough Piya Tan brackets this nonsense English chunk with no explanation: "[does not understand what things not to pay attention to, what things not to pay attention to.]

Tonight marks the release of The Wolverine, the sixth installment in the X-Men franchise and the sixth film to feature Hugh Jackman as the self-healing Canadian mutant with the retractable adamantium claws.
The Wolverine is also the second film, following X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), to feature the title character as a stand-alone protagonist, and one fun bit of trivia is that both of the stand-alone movies have represented a reunion of sorts between Jackman and one of his key collaborators on the time-travelling romantic comedy Kate & Leopold (2001). The first film co-starred Liev Schreiber as Wolverine's half-brother; he had previously played Jackman's great-great-grandson in Kate & Leopold. And now, the second film is directed by James Mangold, who directed Kate & Leopold. (If there's a third Wolverine film, perhaps it will co-star Meg Ryan?)

There appears to be a bit of a gap between first and third in the West.
Making a mockery of their rodeo road trip, the San Antonio Spurs rode into town and corralled the Clippers every which way in their 116-90 thrashing Thursday night at Staples Center.
As the NBA trading deadline passed quietly, the Clippers were even more quiet, which may have been a disconcerting reflection that they couldn't pull anything off to get closer to the Spurs.
"It was a complete ass-kicking from the start in every way you can count," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We didn't bring the effort, the intensity, the mindset tonight to compete at the level you need to against a team like that."
If it wasn't over at halftime - and a 15-point San Antonio lead made a pretty good case that it was - a 34-21 pummeling in the third quarter drove it home.
The Spurs led by 34 at one point.
Tony Parker scored 14 of his 31 points in the third period and got out of Dodge, just like many of the fans, as the Spurs (44-12) won their fifth consecutive game. They've won six of seven on their nine-game road trip.
"They beat us bad," said Clippers guard Chris Paul, who went from All-Star Game MVP to four points and three assists in 27 minutes on Thursday. "Luckily this wasn't Game 7 or our last game of the season. They came out, they executed, Tony was in a rocking chair all night. We let him go wherever he wanted to. It shows we've got to get back to work.
"The thing about our team is we've been through adversity, we've bounced back. We've seen rougher times. It's one game, and nobody around here is going to hang our head."
The Clippers (39-18), enjoying the best season in their history, had beaten San Antonio twice in November and were poised to make a run at them in the final 26 games, but they were never given a chance.
The Spurs began the dismantling of the Clippers right away by making 14 of 21 shots in the first quarter to take a 34-21 lead.
San Antonio was still shooting 63.2 percent by halftime and took a 58-43 lead to the locker room as the Clippers made only 9 of 25 shots in the second period, and Parker had 17 of his points by then.
Danny Green added 15 points, Tiago Splitter and Manu Ginobili had 10 each and 13 different players scored for the Spurs, who shot 58.9 percent for the game.
Blake Griffin scored 17 points to lead the Clippers, who shot only 42.1 percent and gave up 46 points in the paint. It often didn't take more than one pass for the Spurs to get a layup.
"Everybody struggled," Del Negro said. "Not one person played well, not one person I thought played hard and we didn't play well together as a team like we usually do at any end of the court.
"Then guys started forcing things to try and get us back in, and we could never make any runs because we could never slow them down."
Needless to say, an inevitable sense of frustration began to build.
Already down by 15, the Spurs quickly had a 20-point lead when DeAndre Jordan picked up a technical foul, and the Clippers got another technical for their second delay-of-game call. Parker made both free throws, but Tim Duncan followed with two missed foul shots.
Jordan couldn't control the rebound on the second miss, Paul dealt Parker a hard foul and Parker made two free throws and suddenly it was 71-49. And climbing.
"We could have done a better job, I could have done a better job," Griffin said. "It gets frustrating, but we have to be better. There's going to be games where you feel like nothing's going your way and you have not give up a point here or there on technicals or whatever it was.
"It's kind of one of those games, and you can't let that affect how you talk to officials or small things like that. You've just got to keep playing and we didn't do a good job of that, I didn't do a good job of that."
The Clippers promised changes begin this morning.
"I know we'll be better the next game," Griffin said. "I know that for a fact because of the way we'll come in to practice, we're going to set the tone early. We're going to have a good practice and that will get us out of it."

Cedar City • "Peter and the Starcatcher" is an intriguing theatrical hybrid: fantasy with a veneer of social commentary; an archetypal story embellished with mod cultural references; an adventure tale with philosophical overtones.
It creates a world where a campy vaudeville number like the mermaid song at the top of Act II can comfortably coexist with observations like "things are only worth what you're willing to pay for them"; where the only way you can become an adult is to experience what it means to be a child; where "When I was a boy, I wished I could fly" evolves into "To have faith is to have wings."
Above all, "Peter and the Starcatcher" is imaginative. It invites us into a place where believing is not seeing; where adversaries fight with brooms, plungers and umbrellas; where a rope defines the dimensions of a ship. The show is making its regional premiere at the Utah Shakespeare Festival in a well-paced, creative production directed by Brian Vaughn.
Rick Elice's play, based on Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's popular novel, relates the backstory of James M. Barrie's beloved classic "Peter Pan" and answers crucial questions such as: How did Peter get his name? How did the Black Stache lose his hand and become Captain Hook? Where did Tinker Bell come from? What is starstuff and what does it do? What is a leader and how do you become one? And how come that crocodile is ticking?
Like many people who take voyages, the characters in "Peter and the Starcatcher" are looking for something. The orphan who becomes Peter is searching for somewhere to belong, a home where he "can just be a boy for a while." Young motherless Molly wants to prove she is old enough to take responsibility and be respected by adults. For her, this adventure becomes "the thing we did against impossible odds." Black Stache, the poetic pirate, needs to find a hero to turn him into a complete villain. "Time will be our treasure," he tells Peter. "We'll fight until eternity."
The show's 12-member ensemble slides easily from one character and stage position to another to tell the story. Rhett Guter's Boy is stubborn and inquisitive, gradually gaining confidence as he meets new challenges. Betsy Mugavero is the perfect child-woman: spontaneous and resilient but wise beyond her years. Chris Klopatek and Matt Zambrano are stalwart and funny as Boy's orphan companions, Prentiss and Ted, one obsessed with being the leader and the other with food. As the Black Stache, Quinn Mattfeld comes close to stealing the show. His flamboyant performance takes shameless advantage of every comic opportunity. Aaron Galligan-Stierle's Smee is the Hardy to his Laurel, the consummate comic collaborator. Matt Mueller is simpering and silly as Mrs. Bumbrake, Molly's alliteration-loving nanny. Larry Bull, Christopher Ellis, Redge Palmer, Drew Shirley and Chris Amos make up the rest of the versatile acting troupe.
Samuel Clein and Jonathan Nathan provide lively musical accompaniment, and set designer Jo Winiarski cleverly hides them in the prows of two huge hanging boats. Jaymi Lee Smith's lighting is dark and atmospheric, and Kevin Copenhaver's garish, eclectic costumes look as if he raided a thrift shop. Rhett Guter's choreography is cute and kitschy, and Barry Funderburg supplies an encyclopedia of strange sounds.
Director Vaughn perhaps describes the show best in his director's notes: " 'Peter and the Starcatcher' is about … every one of us who has ever wondered what it would be like to be a child again, to fly, to fight pirates, to talk to fairies, to fall in love, to be a hero or to escape the darkness of our own reality through the power of faith, friendship and possibility."
Review: 'Peter and the Starcatcher'
With the aid of a well-matched ensemble, director Brian Vaughn serves a magical and moving prelude to the beloved classic "Peter Pan."

Bloomberg News
MINNEAPOLIS — People who undergo weight-loss surgery don't reduce their costs as they take off pounds, as hospital stays for complications from the procedure exceed savings from obesity-related illnesses, a study found.
Researchers tracked insurance claims of 29,820 patients for as many as six years after bariatric surgery, comparing their costs with a group of people with obesity-related conditions who didn't have the procedures. While pharmacy expenses and office visits were lower for surgical patients, repeat procedures were higher, according to the study in the journal JAMA-Surgery.
Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective weight loss methods, with studies showing the procedure yields health benefits such as reduced diabetes risk and lower cholesterol for at least six years. There's no evidence, though, that it prolongs life. The study released Wednesday, the largest and longest of its kind, shows the improvements that stem from avoiding diabetes and heart disease don't necessarily bolster health across the board.
"This suggests that rampant bariatric surgery isn't going to be an answer to health-care costs," as some have suggested, said Jonathan Weiner, professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the study's lead author. "That doesn't mean that some people, some of the time won't benefit from surgery. This is a major source of information into the overall decision into who should get surgery."
The study found no reduction in expenses to help recoup the $28,000 average cost of the initial surgery, with repeat inpatient hospital costs peaking after two to three years. The patients traded off the type of care they needed, with costs remaining stable at roughly $9,000 a year.
The number of procedures performed in the U.S. topped 220,000 in 2009, according to the American Society for Metabolic &Bariatric Surgery. The procedures, which achieve weight loss by restricting the size of the stomach, include gastric banding that is adjustable and reversible, and gastric bypass, in which part of the stomach is closed and the other is connected to the small intestine.
"Future studies should focus on the potential benefit of improved health and well-being of patients undergoing the procedure rather than on cost savings," Weiner said in a statement.
Allergan Inc., which sells the Lap-Band weight loss device, said Feb. 5 it will sell its obesity-treatment unit in the first half of 2013. The unit's sales tumbled 22 percent in the fourth quarter to $36.8 million. Annual sales are down from a peak of $296 million in 2009 amid questions about the stomach-shrinking device's risk and lawsuits stemming from surgical complications.
More than 500 million people worldwide are obese, according to the World Health Organization. In the U.S., more than 44 percent of adults may be obese by 2030, according to a report from the Trust for America's Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Obesity-related health costs in the U.S. now top $168 billion annually, the researchers said.
While weight loss surgery can dramatically help a single person, the benefits are markedly less when the risks and costs are considered for everyone getting the procedure, said Edward Livingston, JAMA's deputy managing editor, in an editorial accompanying the study. Swedish research found surgery reduced prescription drug use while boosting hospital costs over time. A U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs analysis found the most common and effective type of bypass surgery failed to reduce health-care spending, he wrote.
"Coupled with findings that bariatric surgery confers little to no long-term survival benefit, these observations show that bariatric surgery does not provide an overall societal benefit," Livingston wrote. "In this era of tight finances and inevitable rationing of health care resources, bariatric surgery should be viewed as an expensive resource that can help some patients."
The surgery should only be offered to those who have clear health problems tied to obesity, such as diabetes or arthritis, and can comply with the dietary restrictions that follow surgery, he said. It shouldn't be done simply to help people lose weight, he said.
The finding also underscores the need for alternative, effective weight loss methods, said Kenneth Thorpe, chairman of health policy and management of Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health and a consultant to Vivus Inc., which makes the weight-loss medicine Qsymia.
The Medicare health insurance program for the elderly doesn't cover other weight-loss approaches, such as intensive lifestyle interventions that are much less expensive, he said.
"Rising rates of obesity and chronic disease are a key driver of rising health care costs," he said. "'We need more options to address issues around overweight and obesity in the Medicare program that are less interventional and save money."

Doan Announces Truesdell Appointment
November 15, 2006
Contact: Andrew Gibbons (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC- U.S. General Services Administrator Lurita Doan today announced the appointment of Tessa Truesdell as a Confidential Assistant in the Office of the Administrator.
"Tessa brings great enthusiasm and will surely be an asset to GSA," said Administrator Doan. "I am excited that she chose to join my team and know she will be a major player with important current and future projects, such as the National Women's History Museum."
Ms. Truesdell worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a special assistant to the Undersecretary of Science and Technology, where she specialized in domestic and international issues. Additionally, she has served as a key staff person with various political campaigns.
"It is a tremendous honor to serve President Bush and Administrator Doan," said Ms. Truesdell. "I am very grateful for the opportunity to work in an organization whose core missions I believe in so strongly."
A native of Leawood, Kansas, Ms. Truesdell earned a bachelor of arts degree with honors in psychology from Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of FirstGov.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know? GSA, through the Public Buildings Service, leases over 7,000 federal buildings and owns over 1,600. PBS is the largest public owned real estate organization in the nation.

When my grandmother asked if I'd interview her for a project that the public radio station was hosting in her hometown of Indianapolis, I knew she meant StoryCorps. Naturally, I said yes. I routinely linger in my car, listening to the StoryCorps excerpts aired weekly on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition"—day-brightening audio clips of ordinary people reminiscing about their lives. While I'd often thought it would be neat to visit a StoryCorps recording booth with my 86-year-old grandmother, it seemed unlikely we'd get to the permanent studio in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. That is, until a StoryCorps MobileBooth rolled into town. The gleaming Airstream trailer, one of two that travel the United States, was a surprisingly comfortable spot for our 40-minute conversation about Grandma's life. We sat at a table with two large microphones in front of us; StoryCorps staffer Yuki Aizawa ran a sound check, and then we began.As with any oral history project, the key is asking the right questions to engage the storyteller. So before our interview, I consulted StoryCorps' online Question Generator. I typed in our names and our relationship to each other, and the site produced a list of questions about growing up, marriage and raising children, working, war experiences and more. I checked off a dozen questions, then edited and rearranged them. I shared them with Grandma in advance, so we were both comfortable with the direction of our chat.We talked about her parents, her upbringing, her marriage, her three children. We talked about how she supported herself after my grandfather died. And we talked about her experiences as a "celebrity": You may know my grandmother as Dave's Mom, who puts her son firmly in his place during segments on "Late Show with David Letterman." She described her trips to the Winter Olympic Games in Norway and Japan as a "Late Show correspondent, and her annual Thanksgiving Day appearances on the program.Grandma couldn't have imagined her life would take the unusual turns it has. And this 40-minute capsule hardly seems to capture her 86 years. But our StoryCorps session was an important way for us to connect and share. When our interview ended, we received a CD recording, a copy of which will be archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. What we really walked away with, though, was another fond memory.Interested in learning more? The StoryCorps Web site offers great resources for gathering oral histories, including a do-it-yourself guide. The site's Question Generator is helpful, even if you don't participate. You also can find dates and locations for both MobileBooths.
It's exactly what you think it is: lots of old-timey pictures of men with impressive mustaches. The photos come from the collections of the University of Kentucky Archives.
This site could be a great resource for putting a date range on your forefather's facial hair, but unfortunately, the dates of the photos aren't included in the daily blog posts. They are, however, categorized with humorous descriptions, like "Business Mustache," "Faceshelf," "Perfect Specimens" and "Battle Mustache."

The genealogy wiki WeRelate and the University of Southern Florida Africana Heritage Project (USAF) are among those behind the project. Researchers will be able to add images and records to the database, too.
According to the press release, "Every record readers add to the database will not only be preserved, but will be available to anyone for free, now and in years to come."
Look for a beta release early next spring. You can help get things off the ground by volunteering to add or index records and manage data. Contact USAF's Toni Carrier or Dallan Quass of WeRelate.
Members can customize their home pages by picking a layout and adding a photograph and caption, along with information about their research interests. Uploaded photos go into a gallery, which can be public, private or available to family and friends. Users also can make announcements public or private.
Those services are free. For its records, FamilyRelatives offers subscription ($75 per year) and pay-per-view options.
You can use the new app, called We're Related (no relation to WeRelate), to search your Facebook friends for your relatives. If those relatives also use We're Related, it'll suggest who among their Facebook friends might be related to you. We're Related also lets you upload your GEDCOM to your facebook profile. You can get a little more info on the application and instructions for adding We're Related to your Facebook profile on the World Vital Records blog. It's the 153rd most popular application on Facebook out of more than 5,000—not too shabby.
• Your experience as an Ancestry.com subscriber won't change as a direct result of the sale, Sullivan states, "Other than the very rapid pace of innovation we've built into our cycle in the past year, and we hope to maintain that, even to accelerate it." That innovation includes the Ancestry Press and DNA Ancestry services, international sites such as the Swedish Ancestry.se, and a Web 2.0 platform for MyFamily.com.
"The firm that's buying our company is buying our vision. They like what we're doing and they want us to keep doing that," Sullivan says.
• Sullivan said RootsWeb—the free, grassroots site TGN (then MyFamily.com) purchased in 2000—"is absolutely not going away. We will never charge for what's on RootsWeb. We're proud to be supporters of RootsWeb." He adds there's only about a 20 percent overlap between RootsWeb users and Ancestry.com users, a number his company would like to increase.
• Spectrum Equity's investment in TGN likely won't change anything at Genealogy.com (anyone remember that site?), which TGN purchased in 2003 and allowed to languish. "We continue to support Genealogy.com, but we did make a decision that in a world of limited resources and limited hours in the day, that the best thing we could do was focus our resources as completely as we could on Ancestry.com."
• TGN is focused on incorporating new technology, such as wireless photo uploads, into its services, and on globalizing genealogy research. "We just sent someone to China to open an office there and build a Web site for people in China," Sullivan says.
• A few other upcoming changes to Ancestry.com include a "pretty major" overhaul of the search interface, improved tree-building experience, and of course, more digitized records.
• Sullivan wouldn't say whether TGN would go public, just that the company's future holds many possibilities and his staff is taking things one step at a time.

your op states people get weirded out.consider me weirded out from the get-go with you not caring about riding any waves but just going surfing with other surfers and wanting to meet surfers and take us out to lunch and get to know all the surfers.
I'm with beachbreak on this one.
I think MAYBE he is trying to "meet" "surfers" to "surf" with ... I think he doesnt care about the surfing like he says.. more so to check the guys out and meet them, and entice them to be his "MATE" ...Its just a weird thing going on,, never saw anything like this.
I just think the Guy is being honest with his ablity and skill level . It sounds like he is making a honest attemp to learn the propper ways to be a good surfer.
Gruvi If you are looking for someone to surf with try to find someone of the same skill level as you . This way you can both progress at the same rate. Also do alot of watching from the beach . Watching how others do things can help you make adjustments to be a better surfer
Hey Matt thanks for getting it about me. To the other guys who seem super tight emotionally, lighten up, you are not my type, but that doesn't mean you can't have a slice of pie on my tab if you can act kind and show me some respect if you catch me trying to learn how to surf.
But so I can try and relax the paranoid thoughts some of you insist to keep, maybe I should reveal even more about me...for one, I like chicks. I love em so much I married one. Secondly I work in a hospital. My job is caring for ill people, so can you imagine that! Must mean I love the human race and I'm not biased to anyones preferred orientation. And last. I'm what they say in psych terms, as being in my generative years. That means I'm chemically inclined to give back to society and I made my offers out of my heart to anyone nice enough to give me their time in helping me get better surfing. If you can't handle my posts, there's no need to follow and reply with the childish remarks. Thanks.
uh,like,um,sorry,'dude,' but,i had red flags shooting up all over the place right in on the first paragraph of your op.
i thought maybe a language barrier,until i saw you have all the 'surf talk lingo' down fine,then i thought you were a real surfer messing with us, and then,yes,it really reads like someone creeping me out,like,hospital employee married does not mean you aren't interested in 'surfers.' not feeling groovy,so,you're just not convincing me.sorry
Hey BB I think its weird you keep trolling after me in this thread...its like you want me to just pay special attention to you or something. Its kinda creeping me out so I used the forum features to hide your posts so you'll not think I'm being rude not responding to you ever again I think its fair to tell you so you no longer need to spend your time replying to me.
Yo Gruvi
I think this post is exactly what this forum is supposed to be about. Putting out your questions or your needs and hoping someone out there has answers or advice.
I'm in Virginia Beach, and it's probably a great place for you to learn: real easy paddle out and the waves are anything but intimidating for a beginner. I have only been surfing for a couple of years but I love it as much as anyone, and I am always willing to share the stoke! If you end up near virginia beach, or just wanna come visit to catch a swell, I'm def willing to paddle out with you, give you whatever help I can (which to be honest, probably isnt that much), and I'll even take a slice of that pie on your tab as long as that whole thing about you liking chicks is true.
A dude whose not creeped out by someone reaching out to others

As long as your cake is properly dowel rodded and each layer is on a cake board, you should be able to make any variety of cake you like and it will hold up. Just make sure you use enough dowel rods (and may add 1 extra!) to support the cake above. Good luck!

Though many were still recovering from the aftermath of
Hurricane Sandy, high school students from the tri-state area
headed 60 miles up the Hudson River to Mount Saint Mary College's
recent open house for a taste of the college experience.
Maria Walker of Wantagh, NY, said that she's blessed to have a
table to eat at this Thanksgiving. Walker and her friend, Debra
Pellegrino of Valley Stream, NY, are both interested in the Mount's
education program.
Though they struggled without power for nearly 10 days, things
could have been much worse, said Pellegrino; several friends and
family members of the students lost their homes.
Walker said the tour helped put the past behind her so she could
plan for the future.
"I'm looking forward to getting a feel for the college
experience," Walker said. "I'm a senior so it's going to come
quick…I really like it here."
Faith Fishkin of New Hyde Park, NY, and Jessica Tobar of Beacon,
NY, also visited the Mount to learn about the college's
opportunities in teacher education.
"I heard the education program is great here," Tobar said,
indicating that she would like to specialize in mathematics.
These prospective teachers are not alone. At the Mount, 16
percent of current freshmen are aiming for education careers. The
college's nationally accredited teacher education program utilizes
fieldwork starting in sophomore year and prepares graduates for New
York State licensure in careers as teachers and administrators.
Bianca Stefanacci, who hopes to major in biology on the Mount's
pre-med track, said her home in Milford, CT was without power for
more than a week.
"I'm thankful to have a great family to do stuff with. Without
power, we bonded," said Stefanacci.
According to Stefanacci, visiting her cousin Rebeka Mitchell, a
junior at the Mount who is on the pre-med track, was a good way to
get back to normalcy. Mitchell plans to continue her education in
grad school; with dedicated professors and high-tech laboratories,
the Mount's natural science courses will prepare her well.
Stefanacci said that she enjoys the campus views, as well as the
New York City native Anita Middleton, who is interested in
obtaining a psychology degree, said that Sandy had flooded "all the
way up to 30th Street." But Middleton added, "Everything is good
now…even with the snow storm that came a couple of days later, the
sun came out and melted everything. It's like nothing ever
Thankfully, not all of the potential students suffered Sandy's
wrath. Hans Resurreccion of Bloomfield, NJ and David Aboagye, Jr.
of Wappingers Falls, NY, escaped the storm with few problems. Both
students are interested in math and information technology careers,
and at the Mount, strong faculty and state-of-the-art equipment
helps prepare students for careers in educational technologies,
networking, web technologies, and education.
Nursing hopeful Kelly Whalen and her friend Savanna Juengerkes,
both of Islip, NY, also came out of the storm relatively unscathed;
both lost power for only a few hours.
"I know that two of my neighbors lost their houses," said
Whalen. "So I'm thankful that I still have a house."
Juengerkes said she wants to follow in her father's footsteps
and become an accountant, something the Mount's strong business
courses, many with embedded real-world experience, can help her
"My dad motivated me a bit," she said. "I'm good with
With Thanksgiving only a few days away, Emma Nicholas of West
Milford, NJ is glad to have the love and support of her family as
she embarks on a journey to become a nurse. Like Juengerkes,
Nicholas was inspired by a family member – her mother, Jeannie, is
currently taking nursing classes.
"I want to help people," Nicholas said.
Forty percent of Mount freshmen aim for health professions. The
college's nationally accredited four year nursing degree program
features high-tech simulator labs, hands-on clinical experience,
and an NCLEX pass rate that consistently outperforms the state
Mount Saint Mary College also offers comprehensive study in
communication, language arts, social sciences, philosophy and
As the day wound down, 1987 Mount nursing graduate and Staten
Island, NY resident Meline (Pittman) Radenberg stood outside of
Guzman Hall, high above the majestic Hudson River. She pointed to
the Villa, where she lived during her freshman year. She said that
was the last year the building was used for student housing.
She told her daughter, Jessica Radenberg, who is interested in a
career in physical therapy, about how she would sled down the hill
next to the Villa when it snowed.
The recent hurricane ravaged Staten Island, Radenberg said.
"Entire blocks are gone," she explained. "The whole shoreline
has basically been readjusted by Sandy."
Radenberg and her daughter were thankful that their home
remained relatively undamaged when so many friends and neighbors
lost everything. But Radenberg was also grateful for the simple
joys in life, like taking to the fresh snow with a makeshift sled
and sharing her great college experience with her daughter.
"I was very happy here," she said. "Jessica's college choice has
to be hers, but she picked the Mount by herself. I was happy to
come here today."

Posting on a site with MOD in the name and complaining about seeing a lot of articles talking about MODing your iPhone. That is absolute comedy.
Anyways, AssistantEnhancer is gold. I love it!
I really love rageboard... However i which that whenever i clicked on a picture, the picture don't get saved in my photo library :/ it kind of becomes annoying.
I've jailbroken since the iPhone 2 and no I don't feel I'm missing much, thank you. All I'm saying is *something* else must have happened in the Apple world in the last couple of days.
About the site having Mod in its name: this site used to feature general Apple news - in this *News* forum - but somehow either the writers got lazy or this forum, NOT the site, hiccuped.

(MA, 107minutes.) Opens Thursday.
Snubbed by the academy for her incendiary performance as trashy southern belle-cum-femme fatale, Nicole Kidman is a towering and riveting presence in this swampy gothic neo-noir set in the American south.
As Charlotte Bless, Kidman goes for broke: simulating an orgasm while visiting death-row boyfriend Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack), suffering a brutal assault when he gets out, and even urinating on the paper-delivery boy, Jack Jansen (Zac Efron), when he's stung by a jellyfish.
Lee Daniels' sexually and racially charged romp, adapted from Pete Dexter's 1996 novel, is high-camp artifice run riot. For reasons not immediately apparent, Charlotte hires a Miami Times reporter, Ward Jansen (Matthew McConaughey), and his baby brother, Jack, to prove Van Wetter's innocence, despite the fact Hillary's clearly guilty of something grisly and untoward.
What unfolds is an increasingly deranged journey through the alligator-infested Everglades, as individual motives and agendas become increasingly blurred.
In addition to Kidman's jaw-dropping performance – for which she did, at least, receive Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nods – lies an array of out-of-the-box reprobates, all portrayed with gusto by a fine ensemble cast.
McConaughey once again pushes the envelope, inhabiting a character so far removed from his pin-up persona as to make it all but redundant. Cusack, too, has at last rediscovered his mojo: this is easily his most convincing turn since The Grifters more than 20 years ago. Even Efron, in the most challenging of surrounds, holds his own as the young Jack, yearning for what he blatantly can't have. Or can he?
Daniels deftly keeps us guessing as the anarchic narrative unfolds into ever-unwieldy strands. It's less stylised in its treatment than his 2009 breakout hit, Precious. Some colleagues complained at Cannes, where it premiered in 2012, that it was too deranged and messy in its execution to be taken seriously. But aside from a subplot involving British actor David Oyelowo that goes too far to be even vaguely credible, Daniels has the tone and feel just right.
As an ensemble piece, The Paperboy is impossible to ignore. Kidman dug deep for this, her finest turn since To Die For. McConaughey and Cusack are on fire, reacting to red-hot material as if their lives depended on it. And Efron will, one imagines, finally be taken seriously away from the trappings of teen fame. Oscar snubs aside, it's mission accomplished.

The Culture Diaries
A Week in Culture: Barry Yourgrau, WriterBy Barry Yourgrau
7:15 A.M. Istanbul. A bleary departure from the Pera Palace Hotel after three nights of its punctiliously restored Orient Express–era fineries. We own a sixth-floor walk-up nearby in Cihangir (an arty neighborhood dear to Orhan Pamuk), but my girlfriend Anya decided to rent it out. So we've stayed in a "Greta Garbo" suite here, with photos of GG on the wall and a view not of the Golden Horn but of a minor soccer stadium named for Tayyip Erdogan, the moderate Islamist prime minister, a former semipro football player from the poor neighborhood close by. "Footballer" on a politician's CV is not to be slighted in soccer-mad Turkey. Hakan Sükür, the country's iconic player, now retired, will run on Ergodan's party ticket in the June elections.
Last night, döner and leg of lamb for au revoir dinner at Beyti, a sprawling palace of meat. Anya recounted dining beside Ralph Fiennes the night before. The ex–investment banker now at our table ("We like you anyway," I told him, grinning hostilely) told a cute story about Ralph's cousin Ranulph Fiennes, the preposterously adventurous explorer. Some financial analysts were inspecting a Tesco supermarket in London, and in the main subzero storage freezer they came across a tent. Ranulph Feinnes was staying in it, prepping for the Antarctic. "Any pictures of Garbo?" I asked, to mostly puzzlement.
Pamuk's name came up, with the inevitable Istanbul confidence-sharing about how admirable a writer he is, but such a tedious read.

There are countless easy ways to easily jazz up cupcakes. Topping frosted cupcakes with store-bought pre-made decorations, small candies, or sprinkles are all great ideas. Using more than one frosting color per batch of cupcakes and piping on frosting can also add variety. You may consider using patterned, colorful paper cups to bake the cupcakes in as well, such as using flower petal cups for spring-themed cupcakes. Search the website for great projects with cupcakes!


text: Pains me to say it but it looks like the 49ers are becoming one of the model franchises in the league If only Jerruh would take notice 1. Do you know the owner and the general managers names for the 49 ers? 2. The coach is the man in charge....no questions asked...and has the power and confidence to make a change like moving from Smith to Kaepernick. Can you even imagine the ruckus if that happened on Dallas? 3. An offense built around a solid oline featuring 3 number 1 picks that allows you to go with a first year qb and always fall back on a power running game regardless of who the running back is as well as a star tight end and receiver to bail the young qb out when he needs it 4. A powerful hard hitting defense with a front 7 of excellent lb s, a great pass rusher and a tremendous defensive end.....solid but not spectacular defensive backs All these ingedients put together, simmer for a couple seasons an voila a perennial super bowl contender The frustrating part is the cowboys have some of these ingredients...linebackers, dominant pass rusher, solid running back and star wide receiver but a few things (jerry) ruin the recipe

Hey guys & gals,
I would love some advice on my themes as they all seem to be getting 4 star ratings. It's really getting to me that people rate the theme without letting me know why they rate it low so I can improve them. I update my themes regularly and when ever a customer has a suggestion I add it in on request! My Rapture theme is going to be getting an update so it looks like my WP version this week, so hopefully that will help.
So any advice would be awesome!
Thanks, Christine
Don't worry about it. 3 stars would be worrying, but 4 is good, most of buyers look at comments section and check how fast author is in giving support (or if he even do it). From my experience it doesn't matter that much if your theme has 4 of 5 stars (I've got two, simillar in functionality, wp themes, and one is top seller with 4 stars, while the others wasn't so succesfull but it has 5 stars rating)
Thanks Purethemes,
Many people have said not to worry about having 4 stars but I feel like it might be damaging to sales. I also feel like I could do better and improve the themes…
Unless Envato will make some modification to rating system (e.g some comment box while rating) we will be blind in that area. Some users might give you one star because they think that they owe you for couple of $, and you HAVE TO answer immediately, some are confused with source files because they don't have enought knowledge required to modify theme, some just rated by mistake, there might be hundreds of reasons (of course I'm sure there are also users who think some theme deserves 1 star, and there's nothing to argue about that), but you'll never know.
Yeah I guess so. The rating system is a bit lame to be honest. Definitely needs a comment box, just so us authors can improve our themes to give the best we can! I don't why I let it get to me so much, I guess you can't please everyone.
Here's a wild idea…
You could put a poll on your profile page, asking something like:
What should I improve on my themes:
1. The design
2. The code
3. More Features
And then you could narrow down the option with most votes, and so on and so forth.
Or you could just introduce a survey, but people get annoyed with long surveys.

The poll idea is a good way to get feedback. Try sending it via a newsletter or host it on your support forum so only your customers will answer.


text: Even before the Royal Wedding we saw a lot of neutral bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen attire. From beige/ivory, to grays and muted blues, 2011 had a lot of fabulous ideas for the wedding party. Another element we noticed, and LOVED, was that brides allowed their maids to choose different style dresses; either completely different and a similar shade of color, or same color/designer and a different fit for each girl. We hope to see more of both of these trends in 2012!

Has anyone tried Intrauterine insemination (IUI)?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to conceive for more than 2 years. We have done all the necessary analysis although my husband's sperm analysis is good and I have no problems with ovulation, I still cannot get pregnant.. I have heard that Insemination is a good option when the reason of infertility is unknown. Please tell if anyone has already tried IUI, or if you heard anything about its success rates?
Thanks in advance,

Hello PregToBe,
After reading your other posts, and learning that you are ovulating on day 9 of your cycle, I am concerned about the quality of your eggs (being that they are being released so early) and the length of the second half of your cycle.
IUI has been helpful for some people. I have a friend who did an IUI cycle and she conceived, but miscarried. Miscarriage rates can be quite high if the body is not balance, and typically, when you are struggling to conceive naturally, the body is not balanced.
Here's an article that you may find helpful on preconception care. You should be following a preconception diet and exercise program right now, if you are trying to conceive.
Warm Regards,

Help give this sweet dog a second chance.
Help give a sweet dog a second chance in life.
Someone threw an injured and very sweet boxer mix in our 6" fenced backyard this week. It appears that the male dog is approximately 3 years old.
Dr. Alex Hill took x-rays and found a chipped bone and a lot of infection on what it first appeared to be a broken leg. The dog is taking antibiotics for 10 days and will have a follow up visit next week. We are desperately looking for a good home for this sweet dog. And any financial assistance to cover vet bills is also welcomed and appreciated. And you can do so via the link bellow ...
Please forward this to anyone you know ...
For more information, please contact Christian Valdez at 770-851-8264 or email@example.com.
Thank you for caring!

PHOTOS: KISS unveils uniforms, cheerleaders, & vision for football team
KISS' Paul Stanley says the band might create a theme song for his new Arena Football team.
The rocker tells UltimateClassicRock.com he wants them to "come up with something that will be the battle cry," and not just represent LA KISS but also the fans. He explains that the fans are integral to the team's success, and they "can't win without those people."
Gene Simmons, who's also a co-owner of the team, adds that they intend to give their audience "the ultimate fan experience." He explains that tickets will be affordable, players will be accessible, and they'll be putting on "the wildest sports show" people have ever seen. Simmons adds that L.A. Kiss is "going to win, too."
Simmons and Stanley were on hand for team unveiling event in Anaheim, California on Monday. The public got its first look at the uniforms -- including the flaming helmets -- and the cheerleaders.
Stanley told Fox Sports there is "nothing subtle here," explaining that the players are "superheroes" who will be dressed for "battle in the 21st century." Even the playing surface is different. LA KISS' home turf is a silver football field.
LA KISS launches its inaugural season in a game against San Antonio in Texas this Saturday. The team will face Portland in their first home game, which will air on CBS on April 5th.

Considering a Career in SEO?
"Aaron Wall's SEOBook is the best guide I have found for getting
serious web visibility." - Professor J. Michael Steele, The Wharton School
Getting Started
Here is our free introductory guide to learning SEO.
Be forewarned, the industry may offer a significant degree of pain & heartbreak. I am so glad the game was much easier when I got started. :D
SEO Tools
We offer a fairly comprehensive directory of SEO tools here.
News & Notes
Aaron blogs somewhat irregularly here, but no longer accepts client projects.
SEO Philosophy: Brand, Brand, Brand
While we understand established players re-investing in SEO, we no longer recommend most new businesses consider serious SEO investments unless they enjoy strong distribution via other channels, as search relevancy has largely been reduced to a game of confirmation bias.
In competitive markets, brand awareness has replaced relevancy as a core driver of rankings.
So long as ad agencies convince their clients they should pay Google a tax on their pre-existing brand equity, there is no chance of this "relevancy" signal changing.
In markets with less competition Google is still re-routing a large portion of search demand through their vertical offerings like maps & they are testing making local search pay-to-play on a category by category basis, starting with hotels & moving into home services.
Growth & Opportunity
If you are in a market where regulators actually regulate there may still be significant opportunity in search, but organic search is a shrinking market inside the United States & that will only get uglier whenever the next recession comes.
As a general rule of thumb, it is far more enjoyable to work in growth markets rather than markets in terminal decline.

Myths and Realities of Social Media Research
AMA Chicago
Monday, May 20, 2013 from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM (CDT)
Event Details
According to Neilsen, in the U.S., over 121 billion minutes each month are spent connecting consumers across multiple social media sites.
As marketers endeavor to engage their audiences through this medium, it is important to identify the fact from the fiction. Join the Chicago AMA Market Research SIG and the Marketing Research Association (MRA) on Monday, May 20th for a joint event featuring a two-part presentation on the myths and realities of social media research.
Presentation 1: Biting the Hand and Bending the Rules
Social media research has generated such hype that clients can be overwhelmed with information, lack of information, and misinformation. Annie Pettit, Vice President of Research Standards at Research Now and Chief Research Officer at Conversition, will share examples of those problems and how they can be detrimental to your research. We'll cover topics such as brand awareness, incidence, sentiment validity, spam, and other geeked-out topics.
Presentation 2: Social Media Research 2.0 – What's Next?
Most social media research today involves mining existing social media conversations. But some of the most groundbreaking and actionable new research methods involve deeper engagement with consumers on social media. Monika Wingate, CEO of Fountainhead Brand Consulting, will cover the next generation of tools, using real-world case studies on social media-based focus groups, ethnography, co-creation and online communities.
5:30pm: Registration and Networking
6:00pm -6:30pm: Biting the Hand and Bending the Rules
6:30pm - 6:45pm: Q&A
6:45pm - 7:15pm: Social Media Research 2.0 - What's Next?
7:15pm - 7:30pm: Q&A
8:00pm: Close
