Crowded commute
Commuters hang onto an overcrowded suburbun railway train on the Central Railway (CR) line in Mumbai . Two people were killed and around 10 were injured when they fell off a moving suburbun train on the CR line. Thousands of commuters in Mumbai had a harrowing time as services on the Central Railway line were thrown out of gear following a fire in a signal cabin between two suburbun railway stations on Tuesday night causing heavy damage to signalling gears. Mumbai's suburban trains or "locals" carry an estimated seven million people every day and are a lifeline in an overcrowded city with traffic-clogged, potholed roads. Train doors are normally open to the elements to combat high temperatures and humidity, with many travellers also hanging out of carriages or perching between them.

A pregnancy test measures a hormone in the bodycalled human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception.
How the test is performed
A pregnancy test isdone using blood or urine. There are two types of blood tests:
- Qualitative, which measures whether the HCG hormone is present
- Quantitative, which measures how much HCG is present
The blood test is done by drawing a single tube of blood and sending it to a laboratory. You may wait anywhere from a few hours to more than a day to get the results.
The urine HCG test is usually performed by placing a drop of urine on a prepared chemical strip. It takes 1-2 minutes for a result.
How the test will feel
For the urine test, you urinate into a cup.
For theblood test, the health care provider uses a needle and syringe todraw blood from your vein into a tube. Any discomfort you might feel from the blood draw will only last a few seconds.
Why the test is performed
This testis done to:
- Determine if you are pregnant.
- Diagnose abnormal conditions that can raise HCG levels.
- Watch the development of the pregnancy during the first2 months (quantitative test only).
Normal Values
HCG level rises rapidly during the first trimester of pregnancy and then slightly declines.
What abnormal results mean
HCG level should almost double every 48 hours in the beginning of a pregnancy. HCG level that does not rise appropriately may indicate a problem with your pregnancy. Problemsrelatedto an abnormally rising HCG level include
An extremely high level of HCG may suggest a molar pregnancy or more than one fetus -- for example, twins.
Your health care provider willdiscuss themeaning of your HCG level with you.
Special considerations
Urine pregnancy tests will only be positive when you haveenough HCG in your blood. If you are very early in your pregnancy, and the HCG level is below 25-50 mIU/mL, the test will be negative. The level is higher if your urine is more concentrated. So a good time totest iswhen you first get up in the morning.
If you think you are pregnant, repeat the pregnancy test at home or at your health care providers office.

Citizen journalists on a roll
Perhaps the most oblivious to what was happening right under their collective noses were the "professional" journalists at the Winnipeg Free Press which has been patting itself on the back for becoming a partner with the Winnipeg Foundation in a project to "train and empower citizen journalists".
Menno Zacharias blogs at Policing, Politics and Public Policy. (Can we have a contest to find him a better name for his blog. Please.) Naturally, as a retired deputy police chief, he still has an interest in what's going on with the Force. So when the WPD released its 2010 annual report in December, Menno pulled out his Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass.
He even gave the professionals a journalism lesson, showing them step-by-step how he twigged onto the story and how he developed it.
"What originally caused me to take a closer look at the numbers was the apparent disparity between the reported reduction at the district level (see column 1) . The District numbers show reductions in the range of 20-30 percent and yet the city-wide reduction was listed as -7%. Something's wrong here."
"The next step was to do the actual calculations using the District and city-wide data as listed in the 2009 and 2010 Annual Reports. The results of those calculations are listed in column 2. There is a significant disparity between the two columns – at this point I'm ready to suggest that the Police Service pull the 2010 Annual Report off the website, scrap the whole mess and start over."
Not even two week later--- guess what?
The Winnipeg Police Service 2010 Annual Report was made available to the public on December 28th, 2011. Following its release a statistical error come to light that will result in the Service releasing an amended version of our 2010 Annual Report.
Percentage Change Errors
The Total and Grand Total data that initially appeared in the 2010 Annual Report reflected a month-to-month percentage change. The pending revision will show the correct year-over-year percentage change calculations.
The possibility that crime has leaped almost 10 percent in one year has gone unexplored.
Graham Hnatiuk blogs at Progressive Winnipeg. Prior to the civic election in 2010 he was closely watching the public debate over the botched public consultations on a number of city projects, but particularly a bike path along Assiniboine Avenue. He did what none of the "professional" reporters did --- he applied some brain power to the debate.
If the public consultations were done so poorly, why were we paying the consultant who was responsible? Hnatiuk decided to ask the city auditor if he would conduct an audit to determine if taxpayers got value for their money.
Easier said than done, as it turned out, as we'll show in a bit. But, believe it or not, the audit of the Assiniboine Avenue bike path was conducted, and this month it was presented to city council.
The auditor said Hnatiuk had been completely correct. The Assiboine Avenue public consultations had been a farce. They had been a biased, one-sided, propaganda exercise designed to fool residents and businesses into accepting the bike path by hiding its impact from them until it was too late. In short, it had been a total waste of money.
Oh well, too bad, too late to do anything about it, tough luck and all that, said the mayor and city councillors who wanted to rubberstamp the auditor's report as information and forget about it.
Not so fast, said Hnatiuk.
He appeared in person, first before executive policy committee and then before city council, to argue that council was making a huge mistake if they failed to act on the auditor's report.
"What I went through is why people are not involved in civics and do not participate as active citizens and refrain from participating in any city process," he told the councillors.
Somebody intercepted the message and diverted it away from the city auditor, without Hnatiuk's knowledge or approval, to Active Transportation coordinator Kevin Nixon.
Hnatiuk was then notified that Nixon had allegedly investigated his complaint and found it groundless.
When Hnatiuk insisted his email still be passed on to the city auditor, the acting 311 contract centre manager, Joel Knockaert, refused. Knockaert insisted "the role of the City Auditor is not to deal with public complaints."
Knockaert didn't care. He wouldn't pass along Hnatiuk's email to the city auditor. He had full control of the process and no citizen would tell him what to do.
The auditor vindicated him entirely. His complaint was fully warranted and supported by the facts.
The mayor and councillors, who cried crocodile tears during the civic election campaign over inadequate public consultations, weren't interested in investigating how the public's voice was stifled by bureaucrats in the pocket of a secret lobby group.

During a press conference on gun safety in Philadelphia, Vice President Joe Biden said that any reports that suggest that he was trying to take weapons away from gun owners was a "bunch of malarkey."
"I know that's a word that you've never heard before, although it's now in the dictionary," Biden boasted.
Biden said that it was important for the media to dissuade the American public from the idea that the Obama administration was prepared to do something unconstitutional on guns.
"To be very blunt with you, we're counting on all of you, the legitimate news media to cover these discussions because the truth is that times have changed," Biden added, warning that people would continue to "misrepresent" the White House's plans for gun control.
"The social media that exists out there, the tragedies that have occurred, the Supreme Court decision affirming that its an individual right to bear arms – all give a lie to the argument that what we're trying to do is somehow unconstitutional, or somehow goes after the legitimate right to own and bear arms and to hunt and protect yourselves," Biden added.

J. M. W. Turner dominated British landscape painting during the first half of the nineteenth century. His dramatic watercolors and oil paintings investigate the variable effects of light and atmosphere with an innovative, virtuoso technique that frequently borders on abstraction. Turner visited Venice on at least three occasions; the city's luminous atmosphere and dreamlike ambiance provided one of his favorite landscape subjects.
Venice, a romantic city precariously balanced between sea and sky, constructed of insubstantial splendors and pervaded by a dreamlike atmosphere, was one of Turner's favorite landscape subjects. The artist first visited Venice in 1819, and spent several days there sketching and painting watercolors. He returned to the city for a slightly longer visit probably in 1833, and again for two weeks in the late summer of 1840.1 Each of these trips resulted in numerous pencil sketches done in situ, and watercolors done either during the visit or upon the artist's return to London. Drawings from the 1840 trip are mostly quick sketches, registering only the essential shape and character of motifs; the watercolors probe the relationship between buildings, water, and sky under a variety of atmospheric conditions with brilliant, transparent washes.
Turner's first oil painting with a Venetian subject was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1833 (prior to his second visit to the city), and, except for 1838-39, he continued to show at least one Venetian scene annually until 1846; most were immensely popular with both critics and collectors. The Oberlin picture and a closely related composition, Giudecca, la Donna della Salute and San Giorgio, formerly in the collection of William Wood Prince,2 were effusively praised in reviews of the 1841 Royal Academy exhibition:3
"In these Venetian pictures it would be hard to exceed the clearness of air and water--the latter taking every passing reflection with a pellucid softness beyond the reach of meaner pencil. The architecture, too, is more carefully made out than has lately been the case with Mr. Turner, and both pictures are kept alive by groups of southern figures, which, seen from a certain remoteness, give a beauty and not a blemish to the scenes they animate." "...A glorious example of colour, leaving, as usual, much to the fancy of the spectator; and absolutely extorting applause."
In the distance of the View of Venice is the Doges' Palace (Palazzo Ducale), seen from across the mouth of the Canale delle Giudecca; to the viewer's right is the Riva degli Schiavone, and to the left, the Piazzetta San Marco with the Campanile and the Libreria Sansoviniana. In the middle ground, the Dogana projects from the left side of the scene and the Campo San Giorgio, with the domed church of San Giorgio Maggiore, from the right. The seemingly random placement of gondolas, other vessels, and bits of debris across the expanse of still water in the foreground is in fact highly structured, designed in tandem with the delicate cast reflections of the buildings to lead the viewer's eye ineluctably toward the distant prospect. The contemporary writer and critic John Ruskin noted admiringly that Turner's liquid views of Venice masterfully achieved spatial recession without resorting to "objects all over [the surface] to tell the story by perspective."4
The style of the Oberlin work is consistent with Turner's other Venetian paintings from the early 1840s, in which the edges of forms are softer, more diffused; compositions more extended; and the buildings are situated further back in space, affording a greater role to the shimmering expanse of water in the foreground. Comparable paintings include the Giudecca, la Donna della Salute and San Giorgio; the Dogana, San Giorgio, Citadella from the Steps of the Europa (1842; London, Tate Gallery, inv. 372); and the Campo Santo, Venice (1842; Toledo Museum of Art, inv. 26.63).5 The evocative luminosity of Turner's Venetian scenes is achieved in part by the artist's innovative painting techniques, which wed the rich texture of oil paint with the transparent brilliance of the watercolor medium (see Technical Data). The delicate linear articulation of figures and architecture in View of Venice parallels Turner's use of red ink to define forms in his Venetian watercolors of about 1840,6 in both media imparting a sense of underlying structure that recollects the artist's training as a topographical draftsman.
M. E. Wieseman
From his beginnings as a topographical watercolorist to his mature investigations of the sublime, J. M. W. Turner dominated British landscape painting throughout the first half of the nineteenth century. He was born in London, but spent much of his childhood with relatives in Middlesex and Kent. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1789, was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1799, and received full status as an academician in 1802. In 1807 he was appointed to a professorship in perspective at the Academy, a position he held for thirty years. Turner's pedagogical commitment also inspired (in part) his publication of the Liber Studiorum (1807-1819), a series of etchings and mezzotints of diverse types of landscape made after his own designs.7 Turner's first exhibited works (from 1790) were watercolors of architectural subjects. His paintings of the 1790s are mostly landscapes and marines influenced by Thomas Girtin (1775-1802), Richard Wilson (1713/14-1782), and the old masters (especially Claude Lorrain). In 1802 Turner undertook a tour of Switzerland, the first of many continental journeys that inspired his vision of landscape; it was followed by trips to Italy, northern Europe, and several return visits to the Alps, as well as frequent tours of the north and west of England. Turner's watercolors and oil paintings proclaim his innovative technical virtuosity: full of movement and drama, they investigate the mutable effects of light and atmosphere in compositions that frequently border on abstraction.
Turner died in Chelsea (now London) on 19 December 1851. His much-contested will bequeathed to the British nation more than 300 oil paintings and 20,000 drawings (Tate Gallery, London).

Technical Data
Turner's View of Venice is in exceptional condition, with the impasto and glazes still very much intact. The original support was a lightweight linen canvas. The painting has been lined twice: during the nineteenth century, using paste; and in 1964, using a wax-resin adhesive. The painting was mounted on an ICA-type spring stretcher in 1964. The paint is applied in three distinct layers over the white ground: the initial blocking of forms is in a light tone, white in the main area of the painting and blue in the sky.9 A second layer of full-bodied paste was then applied, with low to moderate impasto; the third (top) layer, which carries most of the color, is very thin and appears to have been applied using megilp (mastic varnish added to linseed oil) as a painting medium, making it both transparent and easily soluble. Particularly in the second layer, Turner used his fingers, brush end, and knife to work the paint. There are small, scattered areas of inpainting along drying cracks in the two foreground groupings. There is slight cupping of the paint surface overall, as well as some localized wrinkling of the paint which may be related either to the thickness of paint layers, or to the use of excessive heat during the lining process.
The painting was painstakingly cleaned and treated by John Brealey, Conservator of Paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in 1982. The removal of the thick, oxidized varnish was complicated by Turner's use of megilp, which renders the paint surface especially vulnerable to solvents.

Queens resident Elisha Austin went to the Rego Park Center at 3 a.m. Friday morning, where many of the stores opened their doors right at the stroke of midnight.
Austin then continued her shopping spree at Queens Center Mall. After over seven hours of waiting in line and fighting for bargains, she was relaxing at a table with her shopping bags and sleeping daughters.
With twins she said that the half-price Black Friday deals are big for her because she already has to buy two of everything.
"It was busy," she said. "But it works for me."
As Black Friday continued, lines at Queens Center Mall were still the norm in the afternoon. Employees stopped handing out catalogues with coupons in them because they were needed to assist shoppers in the stores.
By late morning, the only parking available was on the roof, with every other deck paced to capacity.
A seasonal worker, Abraham, who was hired by a store in Queens Center Mall, said that he enjoyed the Black Friday experience because he likes helping people.
"Black Friday is rough, but I'll get through it," he said.
Abraham said that he reported to work at 8 a.m. and the store was already packed with people and employees attempting to re-stock merchandise. As he was piling shirts into a display, they were being grabbed from his hands by shoppers.
Meanwhile, just a short distance away, the scene at The Shops at Atlas Park in Glendale was much more subdued. A security guard at Atlas Park said that with stores not opening until the customary hour of 10 a.m., "it didn't even feel like Black Friday."

Embracing It All
With this fall issue, we present four features that complement each other. One is a tribute to the prestigious Preservation Resource Center (pg. 63) as it celebrates its 40th anniversary of keeping New Orleans beautiful and full of integrity. We showcase four homes that exemplify the importance of maintaining our city's beloved historic properties, while restoring them with respect for what they were in the past and preparing them for a promising future.
We also embrace new visions. With our New Construction of the Year story (pg. 34), we welcome you into a stylish, thoroughly modern home in Lake Vista that famed architect Morris Adjmi of the eponymous architecture firm in New York City, designed for his sister, Vicki; her partner, Lisa Colon; and their young daughter. A native New Orleanian, Adjmi artfully incorporated innovative technology and contemporary form into the home, and our stylist and contributing editor Valorie Hart designed the interiors using the perfect touch of color, whimsy and elegance.
We are also excited to show off our new class of Design Masters (pg. 50). A year ago, when I took the editorial helm of this publication, Lee Cutrone and I met for the first time to discuss our city's talented designers. I looked forward to doing it again all year. It's always difficult to choose from such an enormous talent pool, but I don't think anyone is complaining.
Then there is designer Chad Graci's story (pg. 44). Initially hired by a client to switch out the carpets in a Warehouse District condominium, Chad ended up completely redoing the whole place! The result of his magic touch is a chic space with an eclectic blend of furnishing styles and tons of light.
As usual I am full of gratitude for our columnists for providing insightful material in all home-related topics. It makes my job easy when I get to read about fascinating stories all day. We've got a great recipe for fall entertaining, along with tips on how to clear your house of bad juju (which is also beneficial for entertaining!). Two women will inspire you with their creativity: Layla Ardalan (pg. 14) makes intricate mixed-media collages, and Kathleen Currie is making our city more delightfully aromatic with her perfume line. Of course there are many more treats awaiting you within these pages, and I hope you enjoy it all.

Kenneth Fernandez (Times-News, Nov. 21) suggests that anyone seeking the White House in 2016 will need to spend more for television and radio ads in Spanish due to the changing demographics here and nationally. He further suggests that the conservative plan for immigration reform needs to include a pathway to citizenship, a code phrase for amnesty in the minds of all progressives and apparently most Latinos.
I am very curious why most polls show Hispanics favor this more liberal approach to immigration reform when the opposite seems more logical. Of course, I assume those doing the polling, including the Elon poll conducted at Mr. Fernandez�s direction, are surveying Latino citizens only, not illegal immigrants.
My interactions with most Hispanic citizens have shown me they are just like most other citizens. They value family, hard work, self-reliance, and are committed to assimilating into the American culture while retaining their own unique traditions. Most of them who are first generation citizens have gone through the naturalization process with great pride and a sense of personal accomplishment. Why would they favor a policy of letting thousands/millions of others to cut in line and reap the benefits of citizenship without the same personal sacrifice?
What I have observed within the illegal community is a similar work ethic and sense of strong family ties, but without the desire to assimilate like other immigrants in our history. If there was a strong desire to assimilate, then there would be no need for Spanish language anything, as Mr. Fernandez opines. This lack of a commitment to become more integrated into the American culture is disturbing when combined with proposals which speak of amnesty or other shortcuts to citizenship.
History has shown us that no nation can endure if its citizens do not share and contribute to a common culture or purpose. Therefore, I urge our Hispanic citizens to reconsider their support for immigration reform proposals allowing their community to be diluted by law-breakers who don�t feel as though they should be subject to the same restrictions as other immigrants.
Hispanic citizens should want their personal accomplishments to be rewarded, not discounted. They should also support strict citizenship requirements including a financial penalty, a much more flexible guest worker program, and tight border controls.
Finally, if Mr. Fernandez is correct, and the Latino citizen population favors amnesty for their illegal brothers and sisters, then I am fearful for the long-term survival of our nation as we know it.

The Memphis Grizzlies announced today the hiring of John Hollinger as Vice President of Basketball Operations and Stu Lash as Director of Player Personnel and Basketball Development. Hollinger and Lash will work with General Manager Chris Wallace on basketball-related matters.
"We are thrilled to have John and Stu join the Grizzlies," Grizzlies CEO & Managing Partner Jason Levien said. "Both of these individuals will provide innovative and unique perspectives that bolster the organization's future."
Hollinger joins the Grizzlies organization by way of ESPN, where he was best known as an NBA Insider columnist on ESPN.com at the forefront of basketball's analytics movement. He is the inventor of advanced statistics such as Player Efficiency Rating (PER), Offensive Efficiency, Defensive Efficiency and Pace Factor, as well as several other tools that analyze and forecast team and player performance.
Before joining ESPN, Hollinger covered the NBA for SI.com, Oregonlive.com and The New York Sun. He also authored four annual editions of the Pro Basketball Forecast. He first gained notoriety nearly 20 years ago as the creator of Alleyoop.com, a Web site devoted to basketball analytics. Hollinger is a native of New Jersey, where he played on his high school basketball team, and graduated from the University of Virginia with degrees in Economics and Environmental Science.
"It is clear to me that this is an organization that is focused on building thoughtful decision-making processes and establishing a forward-thinking culture of sustained success," Hollinger said. "Working in Memphis and being part of the new vision and leadership was an opportunity I just could not pass up."
Lash comes to the Grizzlies after serving as Vice President of Basketball for Lagardere Unlimited since 2009. Lash spent five NBA seasons with the Denver Nuggets where he worked with the front office and coaching staffs, including serving as the scouting and video coordinator. He was responsible for draft analysis, scouting efforts, scouting schedules and upcoming game preparation. Lash graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.
In addition, the Grizzlies announced that longtime Grizzlies' employee Chantal Hassard will assume the expanded role of Director of Team Operations. Hassard, now in her 18th season, will manage the team's administration systems and development while working closely with the coaching staff. In addition, Hassard will serve as the team's player development representative providing Grizzlies players with educational programs and critical support services.

Long time no see...
Where have I been?!
I know it's been a while since my last post. 7 months to be exact. There have been a lot of changes in my life that contributed to this absence, plus a lot of soul searching that got a bit in the way of blogging.
When I finished my last blog post in April, I had finished my first ultramarathon and was at a high point personally, but a low point professionally. I was super unhappy at the company I was working for, although I loved the industry and job position I was in. It took me a long time to think through what was making me unhappy, and decided to take the plunge and change jobs. Since then, I have moved to a much happier place with Fleet Feet Sports in Menlo Park, but the transition between jobs was tougher than I imagined it would be.
I attempted to make this job transition while also training for back to back marathons, planning my honeymoon, transitioning my run group, trying to create (2!) new companies, and creating a new outlook on life for myself. It was just too much.
Needless to say, I ended up getting a little lost in all this, a little confused, and a lot busy. This lead to me performing poorly and peaking too early in my training, gaining too much weight, and culminated in a much to be desired performance at my marathon, Bizz Johnson, as well as a downgrade from marathon to half marathon in Nike.
|I'm smiling in this picture of myself at NWM 2012, but really inside I was super disappointed in myself for not being able to complete the full.
I felt a overwhelmed and disappointed in myself after these two races, and I let all the things I was attempting to change in my life spiral out of control. My goal of getting my race directing company off the ground in 2012 didn't happen. My performance I was hoping and had been working for at my marathons didn't happen. My hard work at my previous job was ending up having to be squandered. All these negative points in my life during the last part of 2012 are the biggest reasons I haven't been blogging. I honestly just felt like nothing I was doing in my life was going anywhere, and I was incredibly disappointed in myself and a little ashamed to show that disappointment to the world.
I realize now that was probably a mistake. I should have written about it and shared it with the world. Not every race is a victory, not every run feels good, not every job turns out the way you wanted it to, and sometimes things take a little longer than you thought. I think expressing my feelings through writing might have actually helped me figure out where I was mentally with everything, but I guess that is a mistake I have hopefully learned from now.
Where I am now!
Anyways, after Nike, I decided to take some serious time off from racing. I needed a reset. I needed to realize where I was in my new job without letting the pressure of ongoing races get in the way. I got some needed rest with my honeymoon to Kauai and I got home feeling refreshed emotionally, but still not ready to seriously get into running. When I returned, I got better adjusted to Fleet Feet and really allowed myself to become a part of that incredible environment. I also took some more time off from seriously running and decided to recommit myself to my run group which had always centered me.
|Hawaii really helped me in remembering how to be in happy in life.
These decisions really helped me to remember why I loved running.
Everyone I work with at Fleet Feet loves what they do and helping people find that love too. Period. That kind of passion is pretty infectious, and it helped me bounce back from my jaded, negative view of the running industry and infused in me a sense of purpose at the store and in my own running. I found a new family and a new set of friends with my coworkers. They make me so happy to go to work everyday, and I had forgotten how good that feels. The most important thing is that I feel so wanted there, and like I'm truly a part of something.
|How can these people not make you happy to go to work everyday?!
I also realized what a wonderful family I had in my run group, and this reinvigorated me to get more serious about being an organizer for the group. I threw myself back into organizing, relearning my love for getting people together to engage in a happy and healthy activity. I also decided to do an end of the year gathering, and it made me realize all over again how much I love organizing these weekly runs with my good friend Mike. I've realized more than ever right now how much of a sense of purpose Go Far has given me.
|Some of my favorite people ever at Go Far's 2012 End of the Year Celebration.
Throughout all this hard internal and external work at my job and my run group, I still had no desire to train or race. Then a friend of mine at my new workplace started talking to me about this amazing race in Oregon, the Gorge Waterfalls 50K. For the first time in almost 5 months, I started feeling excited about running again. So now I have a brand new goal for a new year in 2013.
Goals for 2013
I have lots of plans for 2013. I want to perform at my peak performance for Gorge. I don't want life changes to get in the way of my major goal. I'm the heaviest I've been, well, ever in my life, and it's time to get it under control. Losing weight will help me ultimately perform my best at Gorge. I want to continue to work hard at work, but also remember my own personal goals for race directing and try to focus more on that this year. I don't want to promise myself I'll get it off the ground this year and end up being disappointed in myself if it doesn't happen. I just want to do my best and see what happens. My final goal is going to be to run fewer races in 2013, but to run those races with a high quality and high intensity. In order to do this, I'm going to try to run 2013 miles in 2013. I'm going to run way fewer races in 2013 than I did in 2012 (I ran 14 races, all at least half marathons in 2012).
So, expect to see many more blog posts from me this year than last year. I'm excited to show you my progress in my 4 major goals for 2013:
1. Lose 28 pounds
2. Perform at my peak ability at Gorge Waterfalls
3. Do work on getting my race directing company off the ground
4. Run 2013 miles in 2013
I hope you enjoy the journey and I can't wait to share it with you. That's all for now!
Remember, keep running!
Remember, keep running!

Car Rack for a Bacchetta Corsa
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2012 4:13 pm
I seem to recall that there was some discussion a while ago about a suitable rack to carry a bacchetta bike. Alas, I can't find it. Can anyone advise what racks they've found that work? Bacchettas have a longer wheelbase than conventional bikes and don't fit most carriers. I think it will need to be a roof mounted rack, as the bike is too wide to fit across my car (a subaru) on a rear mounted one.

Top Democrats in the state Assembly introduced a bill on Tuesday that would keep gas companies out of New York's Marcellus and Utica shales until 2014.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Environmental Conservation Chairman Robert Sweeney are among more than 30 lawmakers signed onto the bill, which—if passed—would place a moratorium on drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus and Utica formations until May 14, 2014.
The bill is similar to one passed by the Assembly last year, but with some key differences. The new legislation specifically would prohibit the state from issuing permits to drill in the Utica and Marcellus, two formations where high-volume hydraulic fracturing would be used to unlock gas.
But, unlike the bill passed in 2012, it does not use the words "hydraulic fracturing." Previous moratorium bills had been criticized by the gas industry for including low-volume, vertical fracking—a more conventional technique that has been used in New York for decades. (Then-Gov. David Paterson cited this as a reason he vetoed a moratorium in 2010.)
Of course, high-volume, horizontal fracking hasn't been permitted in New York since the Department of Environmental Conservation launched a review of the technique. That review has not yet been finalized, keeping permits on hold.

To help another
The theory is, is that the longer you are a family history researcher or a genealogist then the more about the subject in general you know!
In my case this is certainly true, i devour books about family history, local history and now social history.... You cannot really do this properly without the background knowledge to guide you through the differences in how our ancestors lived.
My website at http://leicestershireancestors.weebly.com/ is a collection of pictures, articles, weblinks regarding Leicestershire and Rutland to help point you in the right direction....to help you get a feel for whatever aspect of your ancestors you are researching.
It is ironic that the line that i have had the most problem with is my own but you never know who will read your words and make that connection for you!
Looking for Cooke in Leicestershire
Hi out there in Family Tree Circles Land! My name is Iain and i am searching for quite a variety of surnames now but these are the main ones.
Clarke (maternal side)
Brant (paternal side)
Morris (maternal side)
Warner (maternal side)
Brant (paternal side)
Barber (paternal side)
Barlow (paternal side)
They are all around the Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire areas so far going back to the early 1800's.
If you are researching any of these names in these areas then please get in touch.I am always happy to help!

Much has been made of the fact that the two members of Cults ceased to be romantically involved with each other prior to the recording Static. Indeed, it's quite possible that this album wouldn't exist if they hadn't split up. One imagines that the duo's personal struggles were probably not so much of a worry to their major label paymasters at Columbia, who no doubt more concerned with their ability to come up with another 'Go Outside' or 'Abducted'. It seems, however, that Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion haven't let either of these things overtly influence their second album – it doesn't feel right to classify it as a breakup record (despite several songs touching on that theme), and it doesn't go out of its way to provide big hitters.
That's not to say that Cults have forgotten how to write a pop song after the scene setting haze of 'I Know', the band immediately offer up the record's boldest and most straightforward cut. 'I Can Hardly Make You Mine' is the kind of Sixties girl group indebted stomper that you might readily associate with the band, with Follin trying to disguise her longing by shooting herself down ("I can hardly make you mine/Tell it to you all the time.") before cracking and admitting her true feelings in the chorus.
The girl group influence is also strong on 'Always Forever', though the song is perhaps a little saccharine at times – it's the kind of thing you can imagine dewy-eyed romantics dancing to in blissful contentment at Christmas, oblivious to the crushing sadness they're inducing in any nearby singletons.
It seems they just needed to get that out of their system, as the remainder of the record looks to take the band in a slightly different direction. Looking back at the band's self titled debut, the most obvious jumping off point is 'Oh My God'. Many of the songs on Static flesh out that song's psychpop leanings in much the same way that, for example, The Horrors expanded their sound on Skying. 'Were Before' in particular feels like it could have come from some alternate reality in which The Horrors had a female singer, while 'So Far' and 'Keep Your Head Up' also play at variations on this theme. Melodic baselines and rocksteady drumming act as a foundation for swathes of guitar and organ noise, with Follin and Obvlion's vocals floating above it all – it's a sound that fits the band perfectly. Special mention should go to 'High Road's beautifully downcast chorus for demonstrating that restraint can be just as emotive as shouting your little heart out.
Things do start to peter out a bit towards the end. 'TV Dream' acts as little more than a minute-long interlude, and 'Shine A Light' feels a touch washed out in comparison to the songs that make up the album's midsection. But the latter third of the record has its moments – Follin delivers 'We Got It's chorus ("There's noone there for me but you/There's only you, my love.") with a dark, captivating longing, and the swelling final minute and a half of 'No Hope' gives the record an excellent sendoff. All told, Static is definitely worth your time, but it falls short of being the truly great record that Cults will hopefully go on to make.

Looking for Geleick family members the world over
I have links for living members of the Geleick family in the Netherlands and Germany traced back to the 1700's in Oost Pruisen (East Prussia).
I know of some emigrants to the USA and Australia but have not traced them yet. I also know the the spelling is very variable, some registration documents show 2 spellings as the official was not sure how to spell the name, and some definitely linked people are know to have different names recorded in different records.
Other connected names are Gerleick, Gleick, and Geleik, but I am open to other names being proved connected.

Megan Fox is desirable. So are Kate Beckinsale, Eva Mendes, Jessica Alba, Beyonce and Access Hollywood's own Maria Menounos.
But when it comes to the most desirable of them all – none of these stars come close to "Entourage" beauty Emmanuelle Chriqui, at least according to the folks at AskMen.com.
The popular men's Web site has released the results of its annual Top 99 Most Desirable Women poll, with Emmanuelle – who plays the raven-haired bombshell Sloan on the hit HBO series — coming out on top.
And as far as she is concerned, just being mentioned among some of Hollywood's elite beauties on the list (which was based on the traits men see "most in a potential companion such as intelligence, humor, talent, and character") is an honor in itself.
"Hearing what the Top 99 vote is made of is the biggest compliment of all because it's not just about being 'hot' but about being a well-rounded woman," Emmanuelle told AskMen.com. "That's really empowering and is just a massive compliment to me – people recognize that I care about other things."
Coming in second in the poll, in which more than 6 million votes were cast, was Victoria's Secret model Marisa Miller, with British big screen beauty Kate Beckinsale finishing third, Brazilian Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio coming in fourth and actress Jessica Alba rounding out the top five.
"It's refreshing to see a respected but relatively low-profile actress like Emmanuelle top the Top 99, while many of the tabloid regulars didn't even make it," AskMen.com editor-in-chief James Bassil said. "To me, this outcome really reflects what is unique about our annual list: that it is a real indicator of the kind of women that men want, rather than simply those ones that we are continuously exposed to."
Rounding out the top 10 were Beyonce, Penelope Cruz, UK reality personality Cheryl Cole, last year's winner Eva Mendes and a third Victoria's Secret model – Miranda Kerr.
Other notable names to make the list included Megan Fox (#11), Scarlett Johansson (#23), Zoe Saldana (#33), Kim Kardashian (#42), Taylor Swift (#51), Anne Hathaway (#61), Blake Lively (#85), Access' Maria Menounos (#87) and Angelina Jolie (#88).
"The AskMen.com Top 99 list has been my annual ego boost time, and one that I want to savor while I can," Maria joked.
Former "Sopranos" star – and Emmanuelle's part-time "Entourage" guest-star — Jamie-Lynn Sigler closed out this year's list, coming in at #99.

Official: Great white shark behind Massachusetts attack
By Melissa Abbey, CNN
updated 7:53 AM EDT, Wed August 8, 2012
(CNN) -- It's official: It was a great white shark that bit a man's legs last week just off the coast of Truro, Massachusetts.
"This conclusion was reached after examination of the injuries and testimony from (the victim)," said Reginald Zimmerman, a spokesman for the office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
Chris Myers and his teenage son were swimming toward a sandbar about 500 yards off Ballston Beach. They wanted to body surf where the waves were breaking.
"Apparently I was the only one on Cape Cod who hadn't heard of the shark sightings," Myers told CNN's Piers Morgan on Tuesday night.
Shark survivor: Only option was to swim
Reports of shark sightings have gone up off the coast of Massachusetts in recent years, especially around areas where seals congregate.
Shark-bite victim: 'Only one option, which was swim'
But just after the pair decided to turn around, something bit the man's leg.
"I figured it was either an elephant ... or a polar bear ... or a shark. So pretty quickly I got to shark," Myers jokes. "It felt like I was in a very, very heavy vise."
The great white shark then surfaced between father and son, who were about 6 feet apart, arching its back as if intentionally showing itself to them, he said.
The shark slipped under the waters, and the men swam back to shore where they were helped by a doctor and a nurse who happened to be on the shoreline.
Myers was composed until he realized he had survived a great white shark attack. He had only one word to describe that moment: "euphoria."
The physical damage caused by the shark was far less than it could have been. Myers has a cast on his left leg because his tendons were severed and 47 stitches on his right leg, where the teeth of the shark left several puncture wounds.
Great white sharks range from 12 to 21 feet and weigh nearly 3 tons. They are believed to live longer than 30 years.

"catyrpel" of 1440, derived from French "chatepelose"
(?), meaning "hairy cat" (cf. "pile", "pilose", from
Latin "pilus" = "hair"; "pill", as in either medicine
lozenge or fuzzball, like the hairballs cats regurgitate
up, from Latin "pila" = "ball, originally knot of
hair"). See also pussy willows and catkins, similar
shapes and fuzzinesses associated with the feline.
Or is it from "piller", meaning "pillager/ravager", and
"cate", meaning "food" (root of today's "caterer"), as
caterpillars devour leaves?
I will restore to you the years that the locust
hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the
caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great
army which I send among you.

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
`Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'
`I can't explain MYSELF, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself, you see.'
`I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.
`I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, `for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'
`It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.
`Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; `but when you have to turn into a chrysalis--you will some day, you know--and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel it a little queer, won't you?'
`Not a bit,' said the Caterpillar.
`Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; `all I know is, it would feel very queer to ME.'
`You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. `Who are YOU?'
Which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation. Alice felt a little irritated at the Caterpillar's making such VERY short remarks, and she drew herself up and said, very gravely, `I think, you ought to tell me who YOU are, first.'
`Why?' said the Caterpillar.
Here was another puzzling question; and as Alice could not think of any good reason, and as the Caterpillar seemed to be in a VERY unpleasant state of mind, she turned away.
`Come back!' the Caterpillar called after her. `I've something important to say!'
This sounded promising, certainly: Alice turned and came back again.
`Keep your temper,' said the Caterpillar.
`Is that all?' said Alice, swallowing down her anger as well as she could.
`No,' said the Caterpillar.
Alice thought she might as well wait, as she had nothing else to do, and perhaps after all it might tell her something worth hearing. For some minutes it puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded its arms, took the hookah out of its mouth again, and said, `So you think you're changed, do you?'
`I'm afraid I am, sir,' said Alice; `I can't remember things as I used--and I don't keep the same size for ten minutes together!'
`Can't remember WHAT things?' said the Caterpillar.
`Well, I've tried to say "HOW DOTH THE LITTLE BUSY BEE," but it all came different!' Alice replied in a very melancholy voice.
`Repeat, "YOU ARE OLD, FATHER WILLIAM,"' said the Caterpillar.
Alice folded her hands, and began:--
`You are old, Father William,' the young man said, `And your hair has become very white; And yet you incessantly stand on your head-- Do you think, at your age, it is right?'
`In my youth,' Father William replied to his son, `I feared it might injure the brain; But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none, Why, I do it again and again.'
`You are old,' said the youth, `as I mentioned before, And have grown most uncommonly fat; Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door-- Pray, what is the reason of that?'
`In my youth,' said the sage, as he shook his grey locks, `I kept all my limbs very supple By the use of this ointment--one shilling the box-- Allow me to sell you a couple?'
`You are old,' said the youth, `and your jaws are too weak For anything tougher than suet; Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak-- Pray how did you manage to do it?'
`In my youth,' said his father, `I took to the law, And argued each case with my wife; And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw, Has lasted the rest of my life.'
`You are old,' said the youth, `one would hardly suppose That your eye was as steady as ever; Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose-- What made you so awfully clever?'
`I have answered three questions, and that is enough,' Said his father; `don't give yourself airs! Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff? Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!'
`That is not said right,' said the Caterpillar.
`Not QUITE right, I'm afraid,' said Alice, timidly; `some of the words have got altered.'
`It is wrong from beginning to end,' said the Caterpillar decidedly, and there was silence for some minutes.
The Caterpillar was the first to speak.
`What size do you want to be?' it asked.
`Oh, I'm not particular as to size,' Alice hastily replied; `only one doesn't like changing so often, you know.'
`I DON'T know,' said the Caterpillar.
Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before, and she felt that she was losing her temper.
`Are you content now?' said the Caterpillar.
`Well, I should like to be a LITTLE larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind,' said Alice: `three inches is such a wretched height to be.'
`It is a very good height indeed!' said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high).
`But I'm not used to it!' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone. And she thought of herself, `I wish the creatures wouldn't be so easily offended!'
`You'll get used to it in time,' said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.
This time Alice waited patiently until it chose to speak again. In a minute or two the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and yawned once or twice, and shook itself. Then it got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, `One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.'
`One side of WHAT? The other side of WHAT?' thought Alice to herself.
`Of the mushroom,' said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight.
Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question. However, at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand.
`And now which is which?' she said to herself, and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect: the next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin: it had struck her foot!
She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit. Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her mouth; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the lefthand bit.

[Illinois] BioNanotechnology Seminar Series Spring 2012: Fabrication and Characterization of Multi-Compartment Collagen-Glycosaminoglycan Scaffolds for Tissue Regeneration
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
We are working to create multi-compartment scaffolds as regenerative templates for multi-tissue interfaces such as the tendon to bone junction (TBJ). Collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) scaffolds have previously been successfully employed in a variety of soft tissue regeneration applications. Recently strategies for creating mineralized CG (CGCaP) scaffold variants along with fabrication methods to create layered osteochondral scaffolds have been demonstrated. Here I will discuss methods for the fabrication and characterization of both single and multi-compartment scaffolds targeted for the TBJ. Following production, both histology and microCT imaging approaches were employed to investigate scaffold microstructural features. In the case of the mineralized CGCaP scaffolds, mineral content as well as phase were determined via DMMB and hydroxyproline assays as well as x-ray diffraction approaches, respectively. Bulk mechanical and permeability characterization methods were applied and then compared with ultrasound elastography approaches targeting non-destructive analysis of individual scaffold compartments within the heterogeneous multi-compartment scaffolds. Finally, the biocompatibility of hMSCs within CG and CGCaP scaffold compartments was investigated using bioactivity, gene expression, and functional metrics as a precursor to both in vivo testing as well as subsequent work creating fully interpenetrating TBJ grafts that can drive multi-lineage MSC differentiation in a spatially-selective manner.
Daniel Weisgerber is a graduate student working under Dr. Brendan Harley in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His work is focused on the fabrication and characterization of multi-compartment collagen and gylcosaminoglycan scaffolds for tissue regeneration, with a particular interest in controlling the interface between two chemically and microstructurally different compartments. As a PhD student, it is his goal to enter a faculty position from which he can continue his research and share his knowledge with the next generation of scientists and engineers. He has particularly enjoyed programming and applying his knowledge of material fabrication to tissue engineering. Outside of lab, Daniel enjoys a wide variety of outdoor activities, including rock climbing, hockey, soccer, running, and swimming, in addition to reading good novels.

Side Slit Shorts is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jingirl from Cute These shorts are great. Stylish and fit well. They are very stretchy as the other comments say. So you can stick to your size for a normal fit or go up A size for a looser fit. Pricey but just so cute.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BebeDiva from Sweet! Got these in the jeans version also. Comfortable and really cute. A bit on the pricey side, got them with a promotion, but those crystals are really sweet on the butt. Fit is a bit loose, but I like my shorts a bit further down on my hips, if you don't you may have to go down a size. These have some give. I went 2 inches larger than my waist size for the lower fit. The length is what I like, not daisy dukes, but not too long either.

Greetings, Great American History Puzzlers. I just put the finishing touches on the contest's final puzzles this morning, so we are now ready to go here at contest HQ. If you haven't been carefully perusing your copy of the new Smithsonian and deducing the first password, it's probably time to get (code-) cracking.
While we're on that subject: The next step in the puzzle, after deciphering the code, requires skipping through the magazine a bit, and one subscriber wondered if the mailing label stuck to his mailed copy would interfere with his solving. Nope! It doesn't matter if your copy of the October issue is from a newsstand, or a mail subscription, or even digital. The puzzle works the same in any case.
Just four more days until the next stage in your quest begins! I don't know about you but I'm getting excited already.

WINSTON-SALEM N.C. (Reuters) - An effort by North Carolina to compensate hundreds of people forcibly sterilized during the country's longest-running eugenics program is facing criticism from some advocates, who say more time is needed to find possible victims.
A law passed last year calls for $10 million to be split among those who were stripped of their ability to have children as part of a state-sanctioned program that targeted the poor, sick and feebleminded as recently as the 1970s.
North Carolina is the first state to offer compensation to victims who were involuntarily sterilized or castrated after being deemed unfit to reproduce. A lawmaker who sponsored the bipartisan measure said it was important to quickly get the money out to those injured by the state.
Republican state Representative Paul Stam, the House Speaker Pro Tempore, said he opposed extending the year-long period for filing claims past the deadline next Monday.
"Any additional people who apply just take money from other people in the pot," Stam said. "My guess is there are a certain number of people who are trying to move on."
But with no money budgeted to spread word of the payments, some fear there will be victims who miss the chance to file a claim by the deadline.
"It would really help if it were extended by six months," said Elizabeth Haddix, staff attorney at the University of North Carolina's Center for Civil Rights, which held clinics to help victims. "The program itself would have more integrity if there were some outreach and some coordination."
No one knows how many victims are living. As of June 15, 574 claim forms had been filed with the Office of Justice for Sterilization Victims, said spokesman Chris Mears.
The number is far short of the estimated 1,300 to 1,800 possible living victims in the state, but higher than the 176 living victims verified as of early 2013 by a foundation charged with identifying them prior to the bill's passage.
Some victims have died since lawmakers approved the compensation package, adding to the sense of urgency to get claims certified and payments handed out, Mears said.
He said the state office sent more than 1,000 pieces of direct mail and made hundreds of phone calls to possible victims but did not buy radio or television ads due to the lack of funds for promotion.
More than 30 U.S. states had eugenics programs during the height of the movement aimed at ridding the population of characteristics considered unfit by its proponents.
North Carolina was the only state that gave social workers the power to petition for members of the public to be sterilized. The state sterilized approximately 7,600 people, mostly women, between 1929 and 1974.
Unlike most states that ended their programs after World War Two, North Carolina expanded its effort and carried out the majority of the procedures after 1945, leaving the state with more living victims as a result.

How to Perform Keyword Research with Google AdWords Keyword Tool
Keyword research is crucial to online marketing success, because keywords still govern the way people find information online. Keywords help us accurately find the information that we are looking for among the flood of information on the Web.
As such, proper keyword research with quality keyword research software allows you to understand what set of keywords consumers are using to find what they need. It also allows you to select proper keywords for an SEO campaign based off key metrics such as search volume, competition, and seasonal demand.
But with all the research tools available out there, which one should you use?
Here's a hint: Marketers are vying for a prime spot on Google. Doesn't it make sense to use a keyword tool owned by Google?
Google's own Google Adwords Keyword Tool is one of the best keyword research tools available. This is largely due to the fact that most other keyword research tools pull data directly from Google's tool via API. While 3rd party tools often do a better job of displaying Google's data and combining that data with other data to present proprietary or unique insights, they are broken as often as Google changes its keyword tool (which, lately, has been daily).
Since most 3rd party tools draw on data from Google's keyword tool, my experience with them has been one of unreliability. Furthermore, the proprietary data insights that are often provided by 3rd party keyword research tools are often misleading, inaccurate, or downright useless.
Add in the fact that Google's keyword tool is free, and you have a compelling case. Let's take a close look at this awesome keyword research tool.
The interface
In recent years, Google Adwords Keyword Tool's interface has gone through several transformations, but the latest has resulted in a cleaner and simpler-to-use interface.
On the main interface is the word or phrase box, where you type the keywords you're researching. Right below it are Website and Category.
Right below the main box on the interface is the Advanced Options and Filters feature, which lets you more specifically target your research to certain countries, languages, and devices from which traffic is coming.
On the left are several features that let you customize your research further by selecting the match types of the keywords you're looking for, whether broad or exact.
Step by step: zeroing in on the right keywords
For the sake of illustration, I'll walk you through the steps on how to do research for keywords based on Exact Match, which I recommend using for SEO campaigns.
Let's say you're gunning for "LinkedIn Marketing".
- Type "LinkedIn Marketing" on the Word or phrase box.
- You can leave out category for the keywords we're using here, but for accuracy, I recommend you choose the most appropriate category for the keywords you're researching.
- Click on the Advanced Options and Filters feature.
- Choose the country you're targeting
- Select the language
- Select the device you wish to know where traffic is coming from
- Be sure to include information such as Local Monthly Searches, Competition and Global Monthly Searches
4. On the left hand side of the page you'll see Match Types
- Select "Broad" if you wish to see how "LinkedIn Marketing" is broadly used on searches
- Select "Exact" if you wish to see the numbers for "LinkedIn Marketing" using exactly those terms
Now it's time to move on to the next phase of the research – gleaning information from the results.
The Keyword Ideas section shows the main keywords, i.e. "LinkedIn Marketing" and the list of variations for the keywords, the Competition and the numbers for Local and Global Monthly Searches.
The list of Keywords column shows results for the main keywords and its variations. In the case of Exact Match, the column shows the exact set of words or phrases consumers use to learn about "LinkedIn Marketing".
The Competition column shows how competition looks whether it's Low, Medium or High. Aim for keywords with Low competition. Keywords with low competition will have a better chance of hitting the first page of Google's search results.
But don't discount keywords with Medium to High competition; you can target them for your long-term campaigns.
The Local Monthly Searches column shows the average number of searches for the keywords in a specific country or region in a typical month. Global Monthly Searches, on the other hand, shows the average number of people worldwide looking for information on "LinkedIn Marketing".
For easy reference, you can download the results in spreadsheet format by hitting the Download button right above the Keyword Ideas section.
Combine insights from Google's Keyword Tool with data from an SEO competition comparison tool such as my personal favorite, Market Samurai (that's an affiliate link – thank you for clicking, if you do!). If you or your clients' website metrics stack up to the competition, then go for it.
The Google Adwords Keyword Tool is an excellent keyword research tool. While it doesn't give you exact numbers (not that any tool can), it'll provide you with a good idea of which keywords to use as well as which ones to avoid. It's clean, simple, and reliable, and when combined with insights from an SEO competition analysis tool, it gets the job done efficiently and effectively.

Managed to match up the train 'station' (1°49'41"W 12°17'52"N) and the town of Bingo (1°49'55"W 12°18'00"N) on Google Earth with this map, but I'm still a little helpless with the rest of the locations. Looks like the building at 1°49'59"W 12°18'11"N is the only one long enough to be the school (the trees kind of match up), so I'm thinking the milking was on the south side of the track and the Pit Stop on the north side?
