Finding the Right Houston Property Manager
Many homeowners in the greater Houston area have realized that hiring a Houston property management company can be a great way of managing their rental properties. Although it is true that some homeowners decide to manage their own rental properties, more and more people are now enlisting the services of a professional property management company. Hiring a reputable property management company in Houston can do a lot for you and your property. For an affordable rate each month, property owners can give up almost all of their worries about their income properties.
A property management company can take proper care of your investment and save you a great deal of time and stress. The expert assistance of a professional property management firm can add value to your investment, which renters will be willing and ready to pay for. Your Houston property management team will handle tenant screening, rent collection, property maintenance, landscaping, yard work and even certain legal procedures. The outcome? Reduced vacancy periods, good quality tenants, more free time for you and your family and fewer legal tussles.
Tenant Screening for High-End Tenants
One important benefit of a property manager's professional service is high quality tenants. Reliable property management in Houston companies will use a thorough tenant screening system to ensure you attract responsible tenants only. The application process usually involves collecting enough information to run credit and background checks as well as contact references. This will help ensure that your property is well taken care of and that all of your renters can keep up with their payments.
Monitoring the Market
You may want to increase your prices to get the most of your property. However, if you increase them too high, it may scare away potential renters. A property manager will monitor the market and help you keep your rates competitive and also give you professional advice that will allow you to raise the rates at the right time based on the market trends.
Curb appeal is an important feature for any investment property, particularly if you don't want to perform the maintenance tasks yourself. In fact, property landscaping can add significant value to your property. Improved property values mean that you will be able to charge more for your rental property.
Quality Maintenance
If you were to handle property maintenance yourself, you might find it extremely challenging to go around cleaning gutters and fixing leaky pipes. A reputable property manager will be there to fix any issue at any time. They already have the necessary tools and equipment to handle any property maintenance issues.
Strict Rent Collection
While this might not help you to increase your property, it can help you secure them. Some tenants may offer certain excuses for late payments. Fortunately, Property Care is better at adhering to the terms and conditions in the rental agreement. They will make sure the rent is collected promptly every month, so renters are less likely to be late with their rental payments.
Fewer Legal Problems
Many Houston property managers have their own legal teams. These lawyers will explain and follow up any legal problems that may arise, ensuring that your property is a comfortable and safe place for every tenant to live.
If you are homeowner in the greater Houston area and seriously want to see your rental income increase, be sure to contact a Houston property management company and see what they can do for you!

I made a little rule for myself when I started Nonjatta that I would try to post on topic. I will try hard to make this post relevant to Japanese whisky but it will be a stretch. There is thing thing called Mixology Monday. Basically, lots of cocktail blogs get together and all post recipes for cocktails on a particular theme on the same Monday. Not being much of a cocktail expert, I have kept strictly on the sidelines.
But this Monday is special. It is devoted to "Blog Love". Paul at The Cocktail Chronicles explains:
... to participate, simply pick and prepare a drink — an original or a classic, whatever you prefer — that you've read about on another person's blog, and write a post about it, giving a shout out to the blog where you found it...I really want to get involved in any effort that is about bringing together and celebrating the amazing community of drink bloggers out there. So, here goes. Jeffrey Morgenthaler's Nacional daiquiri was my pick, not least because I have just finished reading Graham Greene's classic novel Our Man in Havana in which the daiquiri is kind of like the story's femme fatale (see my comment on Jeffrey's post). The recipe looked delicious and the photo had me slavering.
Alas, it was not to be! I scoured the liquor stores here in Kanagawa and the more intricate ingredients were simply not available. Blast! Darcy O'Neil at the Art of the Drink came to the rescue with his post about a Strawberry Daiquiri, or rather the recipe for a classic daiquiri he appended. It was delicious. I sat there on our porch, with the rain tipping down in the middle of the Japanese rainy season, imagining I was a bit part character in Our Man in Havana.
My first faltering steps into the world of the cocktail did not stop there. Darcy's strawberry daiquiri and his comment that the daiquiri I had just been entranced by was a "bit one dimensional" had me intrigued. Unfortunately, I had no strawberries so I tried using his fruit muddling daiquiri method with cherries. It wasn't great. And then I discovered that my original inspirer Jeffrey Morgenthaler had invented a recipe for a tomato daiquiri. Sounded foul but I was on a roll. I didn't have the tomato puree Jeffrey stipulated so I kind of mashed together Darcy's fruit muddling instructions and Jeffrey's inspiration, using some fresh tomato in my shaker. Despite all expectations it was absolutely gorgeous.
So, there we have it, a big, saliva-dripping, tongue-down-the-throat Blog Love snog for Jeffrey and Darcy. Or their blogs at least!
All of which leaves me, hair out of place and rather flustered after my tumble in the hay, somewhat at a loss for how to connect this to Japanese whisky. How about this? My favourite Japanese author Haruki Murakami soaks his novels in whisk(e)y. There is hardly a story in which it does not feature, hardly a hero who is not half cut on the stuff. In "Family Affair", a short story in The Elephant Vanishes, the main character asks a girl out on an impromptu date. This is Jay Rubin's translation:
I picked her up, and we drove out along the shore just beyond Yokohama to a bar with a view of the ocean. I drank four glasses of I.W. Harper on the rocks, and she had two banana daiquiris (can you believe it?) And we watched the sun go down.I think the Japanese original goes something more like:
... and she had two banana daiquiris.So, there is my tenuous link: the daiquiri mentioned by the Japanese novelist laureate of whisky, who knows what is right and wrong in a cocktail and has his characters drink on the shore where I live. I tried the banana daiquiri idea, by the way. It was about as successful as the cherry daiquiri. Stick with the tomatoes. Someday soon I'll explore Murakami and whisky a bit more but, as this posting has reached epic proportions already, I'll call it a day there.
Banana! Daiquiris!

A Letter in the Oct. 14 Tomahawk Leader:
In these uncertain economic times, people are asking – as they should – whether their money is safe in a financial institution.
For Wisconsin's 2.2 million credit union members, the answer is a resounding yes! All of Wisconsin's not-for-profit, member-owned credit unions insure deposits through the National Credit Union Administration. The NCUA is the federal agency that regulates credit unions and insures their members' deposits up to at least $250,000. Coverage may be higher if a member has a combination of individual, joint, trust, payable-on-death or other accounts. And there's separate coverage of up to $250,000 for individual retirement accounts.
In fact, credit unions are among the safest depository institution in the country. Not one penny of federally insured credit union savings has ever been lost. And not one cent of taxpayer money has ever been used for a credit union bailout.
Visit www.ncua.gov for more information, including an insurance estimator to help you determine the amount of coverage on your accounts. Or call the NCUA's toll-free hotline, open 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday to answer insurance related questions. The number is 800-755-1030, ext. 1.
Please use these resources, stay informed and keep your money in federally insured accounts.

REMINDER: Jim Coleman, DDS' Stuffed Animal Drive Runs Through Dec. 20
Friend of The B-Town Blog and Advertiser Jim Coleman, DDS, and crew are holding their annual Stuffed Animal Drive for children who visit the Highline Medical Center Emergency Rooms.
Readers' donations of stuffed animals will be greatly appreciated. And one person who donates will win a $100 gift certificate.
Every year, between Thanksgiving until just before Christmas, the folks at Dr. Coleman's office collect and deliver stuffed animals to Highline Medical Center's Emergency Room. The huggable little buddies help calm children who visit the Emergency Room seeking care for injury or illness.
"We'll draw from a list of names of everyone who donates a stuffed animal," said Lynn Coleman. "The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate good at the Burien retail establishment of the winner's choosing."
Please feel free to donate stuffed animals directly to Dr. Coleman's office, during regular business hours, at 1800 SW 152nd Street in Burien. Donations will be accepted through December 20.
"We will deliver the stuffed animals to the ER a couple days before Christmas. So if you want to drop them by our office before then, that would be great! Let's make those kids feel comfortable, loved and cared for in the best ER in the Seattle area!"
Dr. Coleman's office phone number is 206-242-4477.

The Alpine INE-Z928HD has everything you need through its 8-inch WVGA touch-screen monitor: A customizable My Favorites screen, built-in HD Radio tuner, Bluetooth® wireless technology and 3D Navigation. Plus you get Pandora and SiriusXM compatibility. All this amazing technology at your fingertips and it comes in the easiest to use AVN unit on the market. The INE-Z928HD also features Visual Enhancement, a new technology that provides a more balanced picture, not over-emphasizing dark or light areas, so movies are seen with greater clarity. All of the graphics are crisp and clean for your viewing pleasure.
The "My Favorites" screen displays up to eight short-cut icons for the features that you use the most, such as:
Easily add, delete, re-name, and re-arrange your short-cut icons by dragging the icon(s) to a new location on the screen. Your settings are kept as a personal profile linked to your phone via Bluetooth. The INE-Z928HD loads your system preferences when your phone is connected, so you can quickly access the features you use the most by simply pressing the "star" button.
Do you share your vehicle with others? Set up "My Favorites" for up to two users on the INE-Z928HD.
The INE-Z928HD is equipped with a built-in i-Personalize program that allows sound field settings to be adjusted automatically for your vehicle. This program comes pre-loaded with data about speaker count, speaker locations and the upholstery type for the 19 vehicles in the Alpine Perfect F.I.T. (Factory Integration Technology) dash kit program. Just choose your vehicle from the database, and the INE-Z928HD calculates and applies the best sound settings for your vehicle.
If your vehicle doesn't have a Perfect F.I.T. dash kit, not to worry, you can still get the best sound for your vehicle. Select your vehicle type (SUV, sedan, etc), upholstery type (leather, fabric etc), number of speakers and speaker locations, and the INE-Z928HD will calculate and apply the best sound field settings for your vehicle. Or, visit an online version of i-Personalize for detailed time-correction and sound tuning. Once your adjustments are made online, you can download the parameters to a USB drive and transfer the settings to the INE-Z928HD. Now that is personalization!
When used with one of Alpine's Perfect F.I.T. dash kits, the INE-Z928HD will have a factory finished look, which matches the shape, color and texture of your dash. There are 10 Perfect F.I.T. dash kits available which fit a total of 19 popular vehicles. Each kit comes with all the necessary accessories for the INE-Z928HD, including vehicle-specific harness, antenna adapter and steering-wheel interface for vehicles with steering wheel control. The universal trim bezel can be used with vehicles that do not have a compatible Perfect F.I.T. kit.
Perfect F.I.T. dash kits are available for the vehicles listed below:
The INE-Z928HD offers reliable navigation with preloaded NAVTEQ® map data of the United States and Canada, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, which translates to maps galore. Choose from different intuitive map view options, such as 3D mapping, split map, and turn-by-turn arrow view. This unit also features Alpine's exclusive Graphical User Interface with intuitive screen graphics, so it's easy for you to find your way. Get quick and easy directions from start to finish.
Know where the grind is before you become part of it. Take control of your commute with FREE, lifetime traffic information for your daily drives. Have the pulse of the road at your fingertips, when and where you need it.
The INE-Z928HD uses an enhanced navigation platform, which includes 3D view. Major landmarks, buildings and terrain details in main metropolitan areas are depicted in 3D, for easier recognition while driving. Freeway exit routes and exit signs are presented in vivid 3D detail, to give you a realistic view of where to go. Other navigation features include a customizable highway services list that is shown at each exit (Gas, Food, ATMs, etc.) along the highway; and Smart Zoom which is much more than just a usual automatic zoom feature. When approaching a turn, it will zoom-in and raise the viewing angle to let you easily recognize your next driving maneuver. If the next turn is at a distance it will zoom-out and lower the viewing angle, making it flat so you can see the road ahead of you; Also new is the Freeform Search function, which lets you type in the first letters of the destination using the company name (ex: Alpine) or a category type (ex: Electronics Company).
The INE-Z928HD uses Alpine's OnPoint Plus Advanced GPS Positioning. This ensures that your vehicle stays accurately positioned on the map even in areas where it's difficult to receive GPS reception, such as in a tunnel or around tall buildings. OnPoint Plus simultaneously uses three technologies -- satellite-linked positioning data, gyro sensor technology (to determine the vehicle's direction) and accelerometer technology (to gauge the vehicle's speed) -- resulting in continuous coverage of the location of your vehicle. As an additional assurance for accuracy, an optional connection to the vehicle's speed pulse signal is available. The INE-Z928HD will also give you an on-screen alert, warning you of the current speed limit if you exceed it. With all of these technologies working together, OnPoint Plus ensures you're spot-on while en route.
With turn-by-turn instructions delivered by Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, street names, freeway numbers and freeway exit names are announced clearly through your vehicle's audio system. Directions are available in English, Spanish, or French. With a unique database of 6 million POI's (Points of Interest), you can choose from a plethora of places to go, whether you're hungry and looking for a place to eat, or need to fill up at the nearest gas station! Assistive mapping visuals display essential driving information such as One-Way Street icons and Highway Junction View for maneuvering complex interchanges. These extra navigation features help smoothly guide you right to your destination!
Stream music from your Android or Blackberry smartphone using Alpine's Advanced technology. Enjoy easy wireless operation of your favorite Pandora channels with Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down buttons directly on the faceplate, QuickSearch features, and even create new Pandora stations and bookmark your favorite tunes on-the-go. Alpine's Media XPander PRO DSP-Sound Expansion circuitry ensures the best possible sound for streaming music from your Pandora connection. To enjoy the same great Pandora features from your iPhone, simply connect the included iPod/iPhone audio/video cable.
Note: Third party services may not be available in all areas; please contact an authorized retailer for coverage in your area.
Don't fuss or fiddle with your phone and say goodbye to uncomfortable headsets and earpieces. Most importantly, stay focused on safe driving. Many state laws require you to use a hands-free device if you are driving behind the wheel, and with good reason. The perfect way to stay safe and still carry conversations in the car is with the use of a hands-free device. Get the convenience of both with the INE-Z928HD! This unit is equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology so there is no need for any additional adapters.
This unit comes with all that's needed for Bluetooth® convenience. The INE-Z928HD comes with a tuned microphone that's engineered to reduce noise interference and feedback. Place the microphone where it's convenient for you, such as on the visor, for the best possible sound quality.
The INE-Z928HD's BT Plus advanced Bluetooth® wireless technology allows you to make and take phone calls even more conveniently. BT Plus includes secure simple pairing (SSP) that make setting up your cell phone to your head unit just one touch away with useful icons indicating your phone battery and cellular signal levels. With Alpine's BT Plus you can set your head unit to answer incoming calls automatically and end calls with one touch. Use the supplied microphone to speak and then listen through your car's speakers. When a call comes in, your music mutes to carry the phone call. View caller information including caller ID, missed, dialed, and received calls right from the head unit display. If you receive a second call, you can have the first caller wait momentarily by pressing 2 for call waiting mode. Once both calls are finished, the music plays again. This truly makes the transition from your phone calls to music an enjoyable and convenient driving experience. You can even set up presets with your four favorite phone contacts in the INE-Z928HD for quick one-touch dialing.
To bring sound balance to your Hands-Free experience, you can adjust the INE-Z928HD's mic gain, voice output and ring tone volume. If that's not enough, there are five sound quality settings to choose from to get the balance just right for you. This flexibility will make your phone calls a pleasurable experience.
Do you have a large music library on your phone? The INE-Z928HD can stream and control your phone's music via Bluetooth®, A2DP and AVRCP profiles. Not only can it control and stream your music through Bluetooth®, it can process your music using its built-in Media XPander PRO DSP Sound Expansion to ensure you get the best sound you deserve. Want to listen to your iPhone without plugging-in? Stream your iTunes music library via Bluetooth®. Whether you have music on your iPhone locally or on iTunes Match, the INE-Z928HD can stream your tunes!
If you're an owner of an Alpine INE-Z928HD, INE-W927HD, INE-S920HD, or IVE-W535HD we've got a must-have update for you. With this update you'll enjoy more convenient ways to perform hands-free calling. Download the latest software here.
Alpine does HD. Get all the music and programming you want to hear in a crystal-clear digital format. FM stations with CD-quality sound and AM stations with FM-quality sound, both with virtually no distortion. Extend your music choice further with multi-casting capability HD1, HD2, and HD3 and you'll hear more talk and music content from the stations you already receive. Alpine's exclusive Smart Reception Management keeps you tuned in to your favorite HD digital sub-channels, even when you're in an area with limited digital reception.
Traditional HD Radio equipped tuners will use an auto-switching method when listening to the main & multi-casting channels. It works really well on the main channels, however when listening to a sub-channel, you will be switched back to the main channel if the digital signal is temporarily lost. This interruption can be a frustrating experience to stay engaged on a particular multi-casting channel if the digital signal is weak. Alpine's solution provides Smart Reception Control through the default setting "Digital MC". The Digital MC setting uses a Hybrid method of auto-switching analog and digital on the main channel, and uses all-digital for sub-channels. Alpine's solution keeps you on the channel you desire, resulting in a better overall HD Radio experience.
It's convenient to control your iPod or iPhone in the car – enjoy seamless operation of your iPod in addition to full control of all your favorite media sources. Control all search options of your iPod directly from the INE-Z928HD via Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Podcast or Composer. The USB connection allows for high-quality iPod playback and delivers an even faster access speed so you'll find songs as quickly as you expect to find them on your iPod.
Get access to and control of all the songs from your iPod or iPhone right from the head unit! Large music libraries are no problem with a faster connection speed and QuickSearch featuring Alphabet Search, you can easily scroll through long lists of music by skipping through the letters of the alphabet. Once you find the letter you want, you can jump to the exact song!
Note: MP3 device or cell phone can only be independently controlled through the head unit when using the USB connection, not with the AUX connection.
Compatible iPods and iPhones
View Alpine's message on iPhone 5 compatibilityhere.
Visit the Apple site to identify your model iPod.
You can also easily view and control your iPod movies from the INE-Z928HD screen.
The INE-Z928HD uses a USB connection for newer iPods that provides ultra-fast digital data transfer so songs and video are loaded instantly through the receiver, on-screen. Thanks to USB, you can also alternatively plug in a USB thumb drive loaded with music, instead of your iPod or iPhone.
Upgrade your sound experience and expand your entertainment choices by adding SiriusXM satellite radio to your INE-Z928HD. Using the SXV200 Vehicle Connect Tuner and an XM subscription (both required and sold separately), you get access to an expanded channel lineup of new and exclusive commercial-free music, sports and comedy that includes SiriusXM Latino, a new suite of Spanish-language programming. The INE-Z928HD lets you control SiriusXM features including iTunes® Tagging; SiriusXM Replay™ for pause, rewind and replay of up to 30 minutes of live SiriusXM content; Song Alert and Artist Alert for notifications when a favorite song or artist is playing on any channel; and Game Alert™ for notifications when your favorite teams from the NFL, NBA, NHL or college football and basketball leagues are playing live.
For unrivaled sound quality, expect nothing less than the best. The INE-Z928HD uses a 24-Bit DAC for ultimate sound quality with all your digital media sources.
Have lots of music? Find it fast! With Alpine's exclusive Quick Search technology, you'll be able to find what you want, the quickest and easiest way possible. With so many ways to listen to thousands of songs, now you can get super-fast access to playlist, artist, album, song, podcast, genre and composer. You can even use Quick Search to easily access your radio stations. Large control buttons and a Touch Screen make it easy to search all sources, including iPod, Satellite Radio and HD Radio. No interruptions while you search so you can keep enjoying your music. For exceptionally big music libraries, the Alphabet Search function allows you to jump to specific parts of your music library by letter. Save yourself from scrolling through each song one by one, when you can just jump to a segment of your library with a touch of a button.
No need to worry about figuring out how to set up the clock manually. After the first time you launch and accept navigation mode, the clock syncs with the internal navigation system and automatically adjusts to your time based on your location. Whether you are in Hawaii or New York, the INE-Z928HD will adjust and display the appropriate time so you don't have to.
In a different mood? Feel like changing up the background color to match your interior? The INE-Z928HD offers four different display base colors to choose from: blue, red, green and amber.
The INE-Z928HD has you covered. It's set for DVD, CD, MP3, AAC and WMA playback with an 8-inch WVGA touch-screen loaded with a 1.15 million-pixel display. The INE-Z928HD is versatile to serve as your media center over every in-vehicle digital media source, all at the touch of your fingertips.
Upgrade your INE-Z928HD by adding Alpine's most powerful audio processor, the PXA-H800 with IMPRINT. We combined our in-vehicle sound system expertise with patented acoustical technology to deliver a sound system hardware-plus-software platform with breakthrough equalization technology. IMPRINT automatically overcomes the car's inherent acoustical challenges and improves the sound stage, tonal balance and definition for better sound faster.
Add the KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack! It delivers a true 45W x 4 RMS power and is compact enough to install behind the INE-Z928HD or any other tight space.
The INE-Z928HD is equipped with direct camera inputs so you can add front and rear view camera systems to your vehicle making your drive easier. See what's in front and behind your vehicle, right from the screen. With front or rear camera installation, the screen on the INE-Z928HD will automatically switch to your front or rear camera view. For the front of the vehicle connect the HCE-C212F or HCE-C200F and for the rear, an HCE-C210RD, HCE-C200R, HCE-C117D, HCE-C115, or HCE-C104. These camera systems will work directly with the INE-Z928HD for a clean and easy install. For camera multi-view control directly from the INE-Z928HD, the HCE-C210RD for the rear and HCE-C212F for the front can be used.
For a complete driving experience, nothing beats Alpine's new Active View Camera System. The HCE-C305R Active View camera alerts you to moving objects that approach your car while you're backing up with an audible "beep" and a visual highlight of the moving object right on the INE-Z928HD's screen. With the Active View system, avoiding other cars, pedestrians or animals behind your car has never been easier!
Replace your factory-installed head unit without loss of this convenient option. The INE-Z928HD allows you to control your head unit directly from your factory installed steering wheel controls. A third party adapter is required; check for popular brands such as Soundgate or PAC).

VERGENNES — Addison Northwest Supervisory Union elementary school boards are looking at spending increases of between 4.4 and 5.8 percent for the 2006-2007 school year. Next month those boards are expected to approve those spending plans for voter consideration on Town Meeting Day.
The Ferrisburgh Central School board is looking at the highest increase, a 5.8 percent hike to about $2.64 million.

MIDDLEBURY — The Counseling Service of Addison County (CSAC) is closing in on a $650,000 fund-raising goal as part of a $2.1 million plan to dramatically expand and renovate its mental health facilities in Middlebury.
As of last Thursday, CSAC had raised $491,000 during what had been the "silent phase" of its fund drive, launched more than a year ago. The agency received 125 contributions from area businesses and individuals, some of them in excess of $25,000.
"I'm just thrilled at what we've been able to do so far with this capital campaign," said CSAC Executive Director Robert Thorn. "This was a huge goal for us, and I'm amazed at the response from the community."

VERGENNES — Vergennes Alderman Michael Sullivan, who served as the first superintendent of the Vergennes-Panton Water District for 34 years, died of an apparent heart attack at his Monkton Road home on Christmas Eve.
Sullivan, 61, was known as a leader and past Commander of the Vergennes American Legion Post 14, a Past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, an architect of the effort to bring safe water to the city in the early 1970s, a conservationist, and as an outspoken city council member who was pondering a run for mayor in March.
Despite his often contrary and at times long-winded political opinions, Vergennes Mayor April Jin said Sullivan's underlying good-heartedness made him popular on the city council as well as in the Vergennes area.

MIDDLEBURY — Several Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) schools are considering new security measures in light of recent acts of violence at schools in Vermont and throughout the country.
Middlebury Union Middle School has already installed a new front-entrance security system, while other schools in the district are considering blinds, alarm systems, reorganized offices that look upon entryways, and/or doors that lock from the inside, as upgrades to better protect teachers and children from would-be attackers.
"We still want people to come to our schools, but we want to ensure their safety at the same time," said Middlebury School Resource Officer Scott Fisher.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents at their annual town meeting will be asked to contribute $30,000 toward a new youth center, a number that would be sweetened by $25,000 in private contributions and perhaps other smaller donations from six neighboring towns.
Middlebury selectmen voted 6-0 on Tuesday to place the youth center referendum on the town meeting warning after hearing another pitch from youth center boosters and receiving confirmation that two anonymous donors had offered a combined total of $25,000 to help launch the center this year. The donors extended the offer in hopes that Middlebury voters would match the $25,000 at their town meeting, according to resident Emily Joselson, a leader of the Addison County Teens & Friends (ACT) group that is spearheading the teen center effort.

ADDISON COUNTY — One by one, they trickled into Middlebury's Triangle Park, a frigid no man's land hemmed by a crawling din of downtown traffic on this cold December day.
Without fanfare, the 12 men and women exchanged greetings, lit candles, and spoke for a growing population that has been reticent to speak for itself — the homeless of Addison County.
"On one of the darkest days of the year, we are here to try to remind people that there are a lot of homeless people out there who have no roof over their heads and no food to eat," said Martha Hill, a member of the John W. Graham Emergency Shelter board.
MIDDLEBURY — Christmas came a little early this year for owners of Werner's Tree Farm in Middlebury.
Their gift came last week in the form of a brief letter from the Vermont Electric Power Co. (VELCO), stating the company would not be targeting the tree farm for construction of its new transmission line until after the holidays.
The news came as a relief to David and Cheryl Werner, who had seen VELCO mobilize construction equipment at the edge of their property on Painter Road. VELCO owns a substantial right of way through the Werners' property, which lies squarely within the route of the Northwest Reliability Project, a project building a huge new transmission line from West Rutland to Burlington.

FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh voters on Tuesday backed the $750,000 purchase of a key 34-acre village parcel, but the margin was not overwhelming: With 24 percent of possible voters turning out, residents supported the deal, which includes $50,000 to finish an in-ground septic system, 242-218.
Ferrisburgh officials recommended the purchase and said they were happy with the yes vote, but that they would have preferred a margin larger than 52.6-47.4 percent.
"I was disappointed it was so close," said selectboard Chairman Larry Simino. "This is the last chance for the town (residents) to say what will happen in the middle of their community."

In someone's infinite wisdom, they have made it so that our patient list is on Microsoft Access. It has been set up so you can input in stuff to make a patient appear on the list and then if you add in a discharge date they magically disappear. All well and good.
What I need to be able to edit is when you print out the list it comes auto-formatted with a handy list of phone numbers at the bottom of each page. I can not for the life of me figure out how to edit this list which is sorely needed as quite a few of the numbers are now out of date.
Please help.

Augmented reality (AR) is no longer just embedded in some science fiction movie. Today's technology is enabling the general population to experience AR as they interact in everyday situations.
Imagining how AR could be used in the classroom may still seem like a far-fetched idea. Or maybe you're thinking it packs a high cool factor but lacks educational value. I'm hoping by the time you finish exploring the resources in this post, you will see the possibilities.
For now, let's just look at some AR apps (iOS) that you could use in your classroom…
Making books come alive
The children's book, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a touching story with many themes. From the far-reaching impact books can have on our lives, to the ways we can inspire those around us, this book is a treasure on its own. But, then there's the AR app…
For $0.99, you can purchase an app that brings the pages of the book to life. For some interactions, you are actually immersed in the story yourself. Words don't do this experience justice. Take a look for yourself. Go now. I'll wait.
I try to imagine a world where our students can experience an augmented reality environment with every book they read.
Interactive math and literacy
The AR ABC Flashcards set will bring letters (and animals) to life. First, you have to print the ABC animal flashcards to use with the app. Then, as you hover over each flashcard, a 3D image of the animal appears. You can tilt and turn to view the animal from different angles, and you can touch the animal on the iPad screen to hear the letter and animal name. Take a look:
FETCH! LUNCH RUSH is a math app that helps students practice addition and subtraction facts up to 10. Students act as a sushi server, and they have to solve math problems by finding the correct corresponding answer card. Teachers can post the printed cards around the room and students must go to the correct card, use the iPad to activate the card, and click the 3D image of the sushi to solve the problem. This app is free from PBS. Check it out:
Virtual field trips
Help your students experience objects and places from inside your classroom walls. For example, NASA's spacecraft 3D app turns a printed image of a rocky landscape into a robotic explorer. Choose from a list of interactive spacecraft. Watch in it action:
Create your own AR
We already live in that world where students can create their own augmented reality environments. Tools like Aurasma (free app) are making it happen.
The possibilities are endless. Take a look at how this app is changing how students interact with their environment and how it is helping create meaningful learning.
Examples of using Aurasma in education – and a how-to guide
Augment Reality with a "Virtual" Routine Schedule
There are tons of videos on Aurasma's YouTube Channel.
Want a couple more AR apps to explore?
Well, there's the one called My Dragon Toy.
And then there's this one, colAR Mix, which is. just. plain. cool. Print the page. Color it. And watch it come to life. So amazing.
Augmented reality is changing things.
And it is going to help our students see and learn in new ways.

The Washington Monument won't be the only D.C. landmark covered in scaffolding for the next few years.
Congress plans to spend $60 million to fix more than 1,000 cracks in the United States Capitol Dome. The restoration, which will begin in November, will take two years to complete, an overview from the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) states. Age and weather caused the cracks and deficiencies.
A scaffold system will be installed "from the base of the Statue of Freedom down to the Dome Skirt," the AOC said. Like the Washington Monument, the scaffolding will be lit at night.
The majority of work to the dome will be done at night and on the weekends to reduce the amount of disruption. The 150-year-old, cast iron dome was last restored more than 50 years ago, between 1959 and 1960.
Dome tours will not be offered during the restoration.
The budget for this phase of the project is $59.55 million, the AOC wrote on a FAQ page for the project. The money includes a "recent award for construction, as well as contingency costs and project support."
Repairs on the Washington Monument, which was damaged during an earthquake in 2011, are expected to be completed in spring 2014.

65daysofstatic – 'The Distant And Mechanised Glow Of Eastern European Dance Parties' (Monotreme)
Perhaps it was just me, but something about Sheffield glitch-punks 65daysofstatic's last LP The Destruction Of Small Ideas didn't smell right. The adrenaline rush never came, felt prickling the skin on the preceding long-play pair; the air about it was musty, certain trademark tricks sounding a little tired. Live, the band could still kill it, night after night, but album three never truly clicked. This EP – four tracks – completely makes personal amends, recalculating one of its parent LP's standouts into a dizzying brace full of bombastic rave beats and glo-stick colours, spiralling synths and pulsating organic percussion. This release – like its makers' tour itinerary – is incessant, relentless, completely overpowering. It's the sound of 65days rediscovering a spark they'd neglected for a while, preoccupied with slaying arenas above progressing their recorded output. This: several blistering steps forward. It's good to feel the buzz again, guys.
- - -
Royal Treatment Plant – 'Get Played' (Light Music)
A-side: the sound of Operator Please playing synth-grunge in a garage. B-side: sounds like The Cardigans. London gal-fronted sorts Royal Treatment Plant's failure to suss exactly what sort of band they wanna be renders them masters of no particular approach, and as a result there's little to remember here.
Clocks – 'Old Valve Radio' (Island)
Harmless strum-along indie-pop from Britpop-recalling Clocks, sure to appeal to anyone missing Travis and possessing an appreciation of The Hoosiers (they're soon to support Scouting For Girls, too). Completely wet then, as edgy as a piece of sodden toilet paper, but ultimately okay given it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.
Black Kids – 'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You' (Mercury)
Single of the week material until 65days' assault on the senses sent this writer into convulsions, this debut single proper from super-buzzed Florida five-piece Black Kids is a shameless rip-off of The Cure's poppiest standalones (no bad thing) as re-imagined by Tilly And The Wall, kissed with sunshine and perfectly packaged for daytime radio rotation. In a truly wonderful world this would be number one come Sunday (this week's winner is a limited-run release), it's that good, that instantly engaging… so long as you can take your syrupy hits without barfing rainbows everywhere.
Video: 'I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend…'
- - -
The Corrections – 'Barcode' (EMI)
Earnest indie-rock oversold as something really special by the characters promoting its release – if there's any Wire or Brainiac in this single it passed me by – this first single from The Corrections' debut album Repeat After Me has its place in a post-Arctics indie scene for sure, but precisely where is puzzling: it's too slow to fire-up dancefloors, but too perky to sink into an armchair to after a stressful day's slog (plus it has a serious(ly) B&W promo, here). Perhaps the album will clear up this confusion. Right now: jury's out.
Holy Fuck – 'Lovely Allen' (Young Turks)
It's the one made for trailers on the telly, for car ads where the shiny five-door's rocketing through an expansive alpine landscape; also, for comedowns and fry-ups, first-borns and funeral wakes. Something for everyone and not a single word in earshot – Holy Fuck might have one of the least radio/parent-friendly monikers of all time, but they sure know their way around a lush pop instrumental bursting with universal appeal. 'Lovely Allen' is another contender this week, its chances dented only through indecent levels of over-exposure.
Forward Russia – 'Breaking Standing' (CookingVinyl)
Already established, at DiS anyway, as one of 2008's more ambitious comeback LPs, Forward Russia's Life Processes is an album that improves with each listen in these ears. 'Breaking Standing' isn't the most acerbic of its varied tracks, but it is a neatly arranged pop-hooked offerings that'll serve as a reminder to fans that the band have deconstructed their past and created something sometimes startlingly brilliant with the constituent pieces. As impressive a lead single for a much-scrutinised second record as 'The Prayer', its only awkward access obstacle still those vocals. Like Marmite innit, et cetera.
Video: 'Breaking Standing'

Free Blood – 'Royal Family' / 'Grumpy' (ACTH)
Party-funk for modern hedonists, drugs not necessary 'cause the music gets you there, man. New York duo Free Blood play the dirty !!!-dance well without ever truly grabbing the feet like one-'o-two John Pugh's former concern, toe-tap-heady freak-outs stripped of home consumption suitability. Get sweaty in a basement and this'll drip you out, clean; rock along in your living room and expect to walk away cold.
Semifinalists – 'Odd Situation' (Young & Lost)
Patrick Wolf x Hot Chip + a hearty dose of '80s synth-pop ÷ a similarly proportioned measure of proggy overtones = something vaguely likeable but ultimately impossible to give too great a shit about right now. Accompanying blurb says something about befuddlement, entirely accurately: Semifinalists need to focus more to make a substantial impact in the future.
Future Of The Left – 'Manchasm' (Too Pure)
Stamp-along tomfoolery-rock from Welsh trio Future Of The Left, yapping on about very pretty pussies, as you do. Look at it one way and it's a sort of skewwiffy genius; another and its nonsensical flow's as interesting as the ongoing Maddie investigation. Break it down and there's nothing but noise there to comprise cornerstones; accept it as brilliantly snarled pop-rock about a whole lot of not very much and it's the most thrilling single of the week. Bar one, granted, but if you like your guitar t'ing stripped of pulverising electro blast-beats, this one's fo'yo. Actual real-life cats in the video, too: bonus.
Video: 'Manchasm'
- - -
Muscles – 'Ice Cream' (Modular)
Clubland squelches under the weight of Aussie basslines, Muscles' latest his – for he is one dude, dudes – most absorbingly catchy UK single yet but still some way short of the (e)motion generated by the LCDs of this world, a world with only so much room. More, better, soon, or we're night-bussing it back to base with the smalls not yet sticky.
M83 – 'Graveyard Girl' (Mute)
Anthony Gonzales' M83 drips back into the nu-gaze glare with a single that's as indebted to Bloody sorts past as it is the current crop of revivalists muddling electro melodies with the kind of eyes-to-feet mumbling so very evident in photography students fond of graveyard shoots. Apt, then! Yet strangely shoulder-shrug of critical impression despite the odd suggestion of New Order-esque brilliance.
Grammatics – 'D.I.L.E.M.M.A.' (Dance To The Radio)
Leeds quartet Grammatics show Bloc Party how shit's done should the Londoners ever get commissioned a Bond theme – epic yet weirdly claustrophobic, like Muse recording in an elevator. Gorgeous flipside 'Polar Swelling' alone, though a good two minutes too long for radio attentions, makes this an enticing-enough purchase for traditionalist indie sorts after a little feeling in their guitar pop. But not them, obviously. I mean, fucking hell…
Video: 'D.I.L.E.M.M.A.'
- - -
Jose Gonzalez – 'Killing For Love' (Imperial Recordings)
Fucked-up video aside, this is as middle-road as acoustic singer-songwriter sorts get without someone pulling a gun on them for their own good. Jose Gonzalez puts not one step wrong here, picking and strumming and twanging to the tune his fans know so well, but these ears crave so much more. 'Killing For Love' probably sounds great driving the kids to day-care – just don't let the spilling emotions distract you from that illicit rendezvous with your secretary, whatever you do.
Aaron LaCrate and Debonair Samir – 'Know How Theme' (Young MC) (Delicious Vinyl)
Old-school rapper Young MC gets updated for gutter kids. Sorry, Gutter kids. Is that even a proper noun? Whatevs – 1989 has never sounded so now thanks to Aaron LaCrate and his cohorts. Check out the flow, blastin' out the past like a DMC-12, here.
Blood Red Shoes – 'Say Something, Say Anything' (V2/Mercury)
What is that, that riff? I'm certain I've heard it before, on another single, not so very long ago… Perhaps Blood Red Shoes' number of members, and subsequent creative force, is starting to tell, or perhaps I twigged this shtick a couple of years back, but 'Say Something, Say Anything' feels totally dated despite its commendable racket and sing-along friendly lyrics. Loud, true, but it all rings hollow; punchy, but without the risk of being socked one right back. It's the moment in the club where you – shadow-skulking but willing to give the DJ one more chance to draw you out – have waited two songs for a banger only to be rewarded with a final reminder you should head home.
Video: 'Say Something, Say Anything'

Other singles are released today, but we've a table booked…

A football team that contains every black person in New England.
Every black person in New England is on the Patriots
by CaptainProjectile January 25, 2005
Founded in 1960 as a member of the AFL and calling themselves the Boston Patriots until 1970, the Patriots were initially a mediocore team. Made the playoffs just twice in the 1970s and 3 times in the 1980s. However, 1985 featured a miraculous run in which they made the Super Bowl (as a wild card) after winning 3 straight road playoff games. However, they were crushed by the Bears in the title game (the Steelers became the first team to win a Super Bowl after 3 straight road playoff victories this year). Became a decent franchise in the 1990s with eccentric coach Bill Parcells and quarterback Drew Bledsoe with 4 playoff berths and a loss in the Super Bowl in 1996. Established a dynasty in recent years with Tom Brady, a former 6th round draft pick, as a superstar quarterback. Have made the playoffs 4 times in the last 5 years, included 3 Super Bowl wins. Won their 3 titles by a combined 9 points- Super Bowls XXXVI and XXXVIII on last second Adam Vinatieri field goals and Super Bowl XXXIX after holding off an Eagles comeback.
"And with 3 seconds left, Adam Vinatieri sets up in a tie game, trying to win the Super Bowl for New England. That kick is on the way, it's long enough and good! The New England Patriots have shocked the Rams and have won the Super Bowl."

synonyms - To choke during the biggest sport stage, a big disappointment, a loser.
That's just horrible, its the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII all over agian.
by p()()p()() February 05, 2008
A classless and arrogant NFL team who represents the New England Region and play their games in Foxboro, Massachusettes because they do not wish to be associated with the Boston area or the rest of Massachusettes. This is typical because they have the worst fans in the League, even if they are loyal. They are sore winners AND sore losers. They mock teams win they win and mock them when they lose. The Patriots and their fans believe they are entitled to win EVERY game. When they lose, they create all kinds of whiny little excuses including accusing the other team of "cheating," the referees cheating, the sound from the crowd being too loud to hear the calls (especially when playing in a dome), communications being interupted, etc. The team refuses to take responsibility for losing a game and believe they are entitled to win it all. The Patriots have been fined in the past for cheating and videotaping other teams making their plays. They are Classless with a capital-C and not as good or sportsmenlike as they come across. Getting 3 Super Bowls doesn't mean class.
The New England Patriots are the most classless team in the NFL with classless fans to follow, who will mock ANY team they beat.

A team who successfully pulled the greatest chokejob in the history of American sports. They went into Super Bowl XLII with a perfect 18-0 record after going 16-0 in the regular season and winning twice in the playoffs before losing in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants.
The New England Patriots won every game in the 2007-2008 season...except the one that mattered the most. Can we say that this is the most overrated team of all-time?
by Gus Johnson February 03, 2008
Team that was so full of themselves in the 2007 - 2008 season they actually made 19 - 0 gear before the Super Bowl against the greatest fucking team the New York Giants. A team that has asterisks after their 3 Super Bowl wins in the 2000's. Their coach is Bill Belichick, a guy who can show his team credit and say they are the best, but doesnt wanna give anyone else credit when their team gets their ass handed to them in the Super Bowl. Their Quarterback is Tom Brady, a guy who crys like a little bitch when his team loses and choked 5 times getting sacked and going 18 - 1 losing the "biggest game of his career". Their main Wide Receiever is Randy Moss who is another bitch just like his quarterback. Both Moss and Brady dropped out of the Pro Bowl to go cry in their beds about choking on perfection. Mercury Morris cant stand these guys and loves the fact his '72 dolphins are the only perfect team in "perfectville". Basically, a team full of shit who cant win the big one when it counts.
Retarded New England Patriots Fan : 19 - 0 bitch, yeah Giants aint gonna do shit they suck.
Giants Fan : We'll see you loser.
(After the Super Bowl)
Giants Fan : What was that? 19 - 0?
Pats Fan : Shut up, we still won 18 games!
Giants Fan : Ok, wheres the Lombardi Trophy at and where are your rings? Exactly, shut up and bow down to your daddy bitch.
Giants Fan : We'll see you loser.

America will need to train more than 270,000 new electrical and power line workers by 2016, according to statistics recently released by the U.S. Department of Labor. Predictions are that, between 2006 and 2016, an annual average of 27,000 new electricians will be necessary to accommodate growth in the industry and to replace those leaving the workforce--with a total turnover rate of nearly 27 percent of the workforce. By 2016, the number of electrical and power line workers is expected to reach 877,000, with an increase of 66,000 jobs beyond the 2006 level of 817,000.
The figures are reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its 2008-2009 Occupational Outlook Handbook, released online in December 2007 (http://www.bls.gov), with a print version available by spring 2008.
"It's imperative that we recruit and train the next generation of electricians today, because many electrical jobs require years of classroom and hands-on training before the necessary levels of worker quality and safety can be achieved," said Ed Hill, president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). "And being taught by experienced craftsmen is by far the best way to convey those skills."
E. Milner Irvin, president of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), said, "The need for skilled electrical workers to meet the growing demands of our high-tech society is a concern that cuts across geographical borders." He added that IBEW and NECA are actively recruiting new workers nationwide, using tools such as job fairs, DVDs, Web sites such as http://www.electrifyingcareers.com, and other means to meet the coming shortage.

Track & Field to Face Nation's Best at The Armory
Associate SID
BATON ROUGE - LSU Track & Field athletes are poised to position themselves for NCAA Championships qualification this weekend as they make their annual trip to The Armory in New York for an exciting two days of action at the Armory Collegiate Invitational being held Friday and Saturday.
This year's competition kicks off Friday with the field events at 8:30 a.m. CT followed by the first events on the track at 9:15 a.m. Saturday's action begins on the track at 7:30 a.m. and in the field at 7:45 a.m.
Live results during the meet will be available on The Armory's official website at www.armorytrack.com. Flotrack will provide live streaming video of the competition at www.flotrack.org.
Live updates throughout the meet will also be available on the official Facebook and Twitter pages for the LSU Track & Field program. To receive these live updates, fans are invited to like LSU Track & Field on Facebook and follow @LSUTrackField on Twitter to track the Tigers and Lady Tigers.
Fans are also invited to join the Twitter conversation during this year's Armory Collegiate Invitational by using LSU Track & Field's official Twitter hashtag for the meet at #LSUArmory.
"This is a meet that both of our teams look forward to each season. The Armory is an iconic venue for this sport and creates a tremendous environment in which to compete year in and year out," said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. "It's hard to believe, but we're now into the second half of the indoor season. It will be important for each of our athletes on the trip to take advantage of this opportunity to compete.
"We feel like we've gotten better as a team each week to this point in the season. We need to continue our progression and take another big step forward this week as we head toward the postseason."
The first weekend in February attracts many of the nation's elite programs to The Armory each season for what has evolved into a competitive scored meet with the Armory Collegiate Invitational.
The 2013 edition of one of the nation's leading indoor meets is no exception as the No. 5-ranked Lady Tigers and the No. 6-ranked Tigers compete against an NCAA Championships caliber field featuring an impressive field with more than 100 programs from across the country. That includes its combined total at 19 teams ranked in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Top 25.
The Tigers are set to face such teams as No. 1 Arkansas, No. 2 Florida, No. 3 Texas A&M, No. 4 Oregon, No. 11 Texas, No. 15 Mississippi State, No. 19 BYU, No. 20 Stanford and No. 22 Oklahoma.
The Lady Tigers face such nationally-ranked teams as No. 1 Clemson, No. 2 Kansas, No. 4 Arkansas, No. 6 Texas A&M, No. 7 Florida, No. 14 Texas, No. 16 Stanford and No. 21 South Carolina.
LSU Track & Field has enjoyed tremendous success over the years since first competing at the Armory Collegiate Invitational in 2002 as the Tigers and Lady Tigers have combined to win nine team titles at the meet. The Tigers have won four men's team titles with their last coming in 2011 as they seek their second victory in three seasons. The Lady Tigers own five women's team titles with their last back in 2008.
The Tigers scored 75 points in two days of action a year ago to finish runner-up to the 85 points scored by Texas A&M in the race for the men's team title. The Lady Tigers took home a third-place finish after they scored a total of 60 points to finish behind Clemson (93) and BYU (64).
"We're heading to New York this weekend with specific goals in mind about what we want to achieve for both of our teams," Shaver said. "This is always a tremendous event with good competition across each of the event areas, so we'll have an opportunity to position ourselves well for the postseason."
Two LSU seniors return to The Armory this weekend as reigning event champions as Damar Forbes takes flight in the long jump and Charlene Lipsey defends her title 1,000 meters.
Lipsey set the Armory Collegiate Invitational meet record in winning the women's 1,000-meter run a year ago with a record-setting time of 2 minutes, 44.34 seconds in the race. Forbes captured the men's long jump crown with a winning jump of 26 feet, ¾ inches to lead the Tigers to their runner-up finish.
A three-time NCAA silver medalist in the long jump during his collegiate career, Forbes is ready to make his 2013 season debut as a national championship contender in the event. Forbes has primarily lined up in the 60-meter dash through three meets while setting a personal best of 6.77 seconds.
LSU Track & Field will feature a star-studded cast this weekend as six other athletes and two relays teams that rank among the Top 10 of the NCAA rankings will be in action.
Lady Tiger junior Natoya Goule, the reigning SEC Women's Runner of the Week, will line up in the 400-meter dash just one week after claiming the No. 1 ranking in the NCAA in the 800 meters after claiming a victory at the Razorback Invitational with a season-opening run of 2:03.49.
The Lady Tigers will also feature senior Kimberlyn Duncan as the NCAA's No. 3-ranked performer in the 60-meter dash with a personal best of 7.22, junior Keri Emanuel as the No. 4-ranked triple jumper this season with an indoor PR of 42-8 ¾, junior Denise Hinton as the NCAA's No. 8-ranked weight thrower at 67-6 and junior Jasmin Stowers as the No. 10-ranked 60-meter hurdler with a best of 8.25.
Headlining the Tigers' roster this week is sophomore Aaron Ernest at No. 3 in the 200 meters (20.79) and No. 20 in the 60 meters (6.70) and senior Caleb Williams at No. 7 in the 400 meters (46.98).
After competing at the Armory Collegiate Invitational this weekend, the Tigers and Lady Tigers will head back to the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark., to compete at the Tyson Invitational that will run from Feb. 8-9. The University of Arkansas will also play host to the SEC Indoor Championships from Feb. 22-24 and the NCAA Indoor Championships from March 8-9.

According to the White House, search engine optimization is a priority for US Government websites. Given the White House mandate and staggering number of Americans that search for health related information, you would think the new HealthCare.Gov website would be search engine friendly. Unfortunately the NEW site is not search friendly, due in part to the OLD site not being cleaned up properly. Until issues with the new version of the site are resolved and the old version of the site is cleaned up, users will continue to experience issues. Expert developers are usually focused on development and not technical search related issues. As a result, technical search issues usually go unnoticed and continue to frustrate users.
Technical SEO site assessment is difficult to teach in a public setting because of the risk of potentially offending site owners. Since we all own HealthCare.Gov, offending someone is not a problem. As a result, I took a few minutes to check out the site and have documented a few critical issues below. Please note, the list of issues outlined herein is by no means comprehensive and only took a few minutes to compile. Please feel free to post additional search related issues in the comment section below. The objective of this post is to educate others and lend an extra set of eyes to the "A-Team".
It is widely known that HealthCare.Gov has a number of potential security issues and several of these are search related.
Findings: Without going into detail for security reasons, it is currently possible to search and get results for "public and secure content" at HealthCare.Gov. Please note, this is an internal HealthCare.Gov IT issue, not a web search issue and has already been reported to HealthCare.gov.
Recommendation: Ensure access to content not intended for public consumption is password protected.
According to Google and Bing, websites should be tested with a text browser. Text browsers make it possible for webmasters to "see" sites more like search engine crawlers. This kind of testing will also reveal issues experienced by individuals with disabilities when accessing the site on an assistive device.
Findings: Individuals with disabilities and search engines may have difficulty accessing and interacting with portions of the new website.
Searcher Intent:
When users search for [healthcare.gov], chances are they want to navigate to HealthCare.Gov the US Government health insurance market place.
Findings: Currently when users search for [healthcare.gov] they are returned Google search results above. Clicking on the top result in the site link section takes searchers to finder.healthcare.gov which "is not the Health Insurance Marketplace."
Recommendation: Demote the Sitelink in question via webmaster tools.
Version Issues:
When the same text content appears on different webpages, it is considered duplicate content by search engines. There is no penalty for duplicate content but it can thin certain ranking signals. As a result, search engines recommend that webmasters specify the preferred version of each page.
Findings: www.HealthCare.Gov includes the same content as well as different combinations of content from various versions of both the old and new website. For example, Spa.HealthCare.Gov , www.HealthCare.Gov, Finder.HealthCare.Gov and LocalHelp.HealthCare.Gov just to name a few. As a result, it is possible that searchers will arrive at the unintended subdomain and the site will appear not to work.
Recommendation: Use rel=canonical attributes to specify which page version is preferred and return 410 HTTP responses for pages at additional subdomains.
Soft 404 Pages:
"Usually, when someone requests a page that doesn't exist, a server will return a 404 (not found) error. This HTTP response code clearly tells both browsers and search engines that the page doesn't exist. As a result, the content of the page (if any) won't be crawled or indexed by search engines." https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/181708?hl=en
Findings:HealthCare.Gov errors do not redirect to a dedicated 404 landing page or return a 404 HTTP response. As a result, URLs for pages without content will be indexed by search engines when posted online. In addition, versions of older pages like http://finder.healthcare.gov/404.html return a 302 HTTP response which is a temporary redirect. As a result, site error pages will continue to be indexed and frustrate users.
Recommendation: Create a dedicated 404 page which returns a 404 HTTP response and redirect error requests to the dedicated 404 URL.
Development Platform Indexing:
Findings: The new HealthCare.Gov website appears to have been developed at the subdomain Test.HealthCare.Gov. This subdomain does not appear to have been password protected and as a result was crawled and indexed by search engines. Currently 100s of pages from this subdomain are indexed in search results. In order to help prevent searchers from going to the developer version of the site, Test.HealthCare.Gov now returns a 503. Disallowing via robots.txt or returning a 503 will not prevent pages from appearing in search results. The only way to prevent content from appearing in search results is to add the noindex meta tag or password protection.
Recommendation: To have this content removed from search results return a 401 HTTP response.
"A breadcrumb trail is a set of links (breadcrumbs) that can help a user understand and navigate your site's hierarchy." In order to understand information in a page, searchers need to know where they have landed in the site architecture.
Findings: When users arrive at the page above from search results there is currently nothing to indicate where the user is within the site architecture. For example, if a users arrives at the page above from search, there is nothing to indicate whether this information applies to business or individual health care plans.
Recommendation: Implement breadcrumb navigational elements in each page.

The earth is 4.54 billion years old. That's a big number to wrap your head around. Spending time among very old things helps, but even then it's easy to forget that not only the fossils themselves are ancient; so is the rock they came out of, the planet circling a sun that has been around a long time.
Since my childhood, dinosaurs have arrested my imagination like nothing else in science, and what better place to witness the majesty of these ancient animals than the Houston Museum of Natural Science, displaying some of the oldest things on Earth? When I walk through the Morian Hall of Paleontology, I see the bones of creatures that lived millions of years ago, preserved naturally by the processes of geology, like mummies, but embalmed by mud, pressure, and minerals. These aren't bones, really. They're rocks, no different from petrified wood or the crystals in the Cullen Hall of Gems and Minerals. They were once creatures of flesh and bone, but the organic molecules and chemicals that made up their bodies, if they didn't decay, were replaced atom by atom while the rest of life on Earth developed.
Mine is a problem of scope, I think. It's a strange feeling to understand that Lane the Triceratops, the most complete specimen of this dinosaur, was under our feet during the fall of the Roman Empire, was still buried in the time of King Tutanhkamen, and remained undiscovered while Shakespeare wrote his sonnets. This animal died, and life went on as it always does. Its life among presumably millions of others like it was common. Undistinguished. But that specimen is no longer a Triceratops; it's a skeleton made of rock. Not even a skeleton, but an impression of it. A three-dimensional photograph dug out of the album that is the many-layered dirt of our planet. This animal has become a symbol of history. Now that is rare.
It's remarkable, this action of preservation that the Earth is capable of. And it's remarkable that we have developed the science to identify and understand these stones. We had to consider both the life cycle of rock and the taxonomy of life before we could begin to speculate what these samples could mean. But really, so what? They're just rocks.
It's the feeling of humility they deliver that makes them fascinating. It's like walking through modern Rome after living in developing Houston, surrounded by buildings a thousand years old that stood before the United States was even imagined. We've been walking around these seven continents for millenia, in the dark about what was under our feet until the birth of paleontology in 1666, when Nicholas Steno identified "tongue stones," known then only as triangular rocks, as fossilized shark teeth. Dinosaurs were around whether we knew they existed or not. They are as old as the rock we walk on.
Now consider this. In 2011, biologists identified 20,000 new species, a large number of them beetles, and most of them invertabrates. That was in a single year. Now take that diversity and multiply it by the age of the Earth. I'm not going to do the math, but that's the number of species paleontologists have yet to discover. That's the amount of life we potentially have yet to search for in the rock.
After early hominids, fossils of the first humans date back 1.8 million years, along with mammoths, mastodons, and saber-toothed cats that appear in the rock alongside them. Triceratops lived in the late Cretaceous, discovered in rock at least 65 million years old. Icthyosaurus swam the oceans and gave birth to her young between 245 and 146 million years ago, in the Jurassic and the Triassic. (Their era lasted 100 million years. Again, we've been around for 1.8.) Trilobites in our collection have been preserved for between 540 and 360 million years, and the stromatolites, layered rocks formed by ancient bacteria, date back to 3.4 billion years. Not million. Billion. They appeared in the Archaeozoic Eon, about a billion years after Earth solidified out of molten space-rock.
What will the occupants of this planet find after the next million years? We've been around for a while, but not nearly as long as these fossils. What will paleontologists of the future, if they still exist, find in another 65 million years? 146? 540? 3.4 billion? The Earth will still be here by then; humanity is another story. Will we still cling to the crags in a different form, the maps unrecognizeable to the once-dominant species of 2015 CE, if they could see them? Will we have preserved our history as well as the rocks have preserved the dinosaurs?
In another 3.4 billion years, the sun will be nearing the end of its life, having expanded into a red giant and swallowed Mercury and Venus. According to many estimations, by the time the sun is 7.59 billion years old, it will engulf the Earth. We are living in our planet's middle age. It took half the Earth's life for humanity to arise and build its cities. For the United States to claim its sovereignty.
The Earth is old, dude! We never pay this age any mind until we identify something to date it against. Here we have Triceratops, say, a creature that lived in the time when this rock was young, just a pile of sediment on the floor of the ocean or a river. Paleontologists owe a lot to the power of speculation and theory. We may never know for sure what life was like in the era of these ancient creatures. But if we have anything in common with the dinosaurs, ancient mollusks and archaebacteria, it's that we all grew on this same rock.
In a way, we're just as old as they are. Our bodies are made up of the same elements that have always been here in some form or another, buried under the crust in a molten mantle, or exposed to the light of the sun that has fueled life on Earth for as far back as the imagination will stretch. As Carl Sagan said, "We are all made of star stuff."
