What could emergency responders do with a little more spectrum, a lot more money and a healthy assist from modern technology?
To begin with, they could set up effortless communication between local emergency responders and out-of-towners who are called in for a major disaster but whose equipment works on a different frequency, said Chris Essid, director of the Homeland Security Department's Office of Emergency Communications.
A large block of communication spectrum could also enable standardized nationwide systems and protocols so responders' tools would look the same from one county to the next and radios from one county could simply roam onto the next county's network, according to Essid, who was speaking at a Wilson Center for International Scholars event focused on how private sector technologies could aid emergency responders.
More spectrum and standardized equipment would also allow police and firefighters to better utilize new technologies, panelists at the event said, such as sensors that tell firefighters which floors of a building are on fire and what chemicals are present there; heat sensors that tell police where a suspect is hiding in a darkened house and space-age band aids that take an injured person's vital signs and match them with a photo and name so family members are able not only to track the victim to a particular hospital or shelter but also to find out how they're doing.
New technology could even push mapping data about nearby fire hydrants and building layouts directly to screens on firefighters masks, panelists said.
There's been a push in Congress since soon after communication difficulties hampered the 9/11 response to reserve a portion of spectrum for a national public safety broadband network. So far, though, those efforts have been unsuccessful. Currently law requires that portion of spectrum, known as Block D to be auctioned off to commercial bidders.

Inauguration Rentals: DC's Gold Rush?
Soon after Barack Obama was elected president, we wrote an article about what seemed to be a very lucrative opportunity for DC-area residents: renting out your apartment or house for the week of inauguration. Within days of Obama's win, Craigslist was flooded with hundreds of posts from residents offering to rent their homes, and it looked like you stood to make a nice profit off the historic occasion if you were willing to have strangers come lodge at your place. However, just like those who headed west in search of gold in the 1850s, it seems that, for most, the opportunity has turned out too good to be true.
"At this point we have no one scheduled to rent our place," Julie Hamilton, whose house has been listed for about three weeks, told UrbanTurf. "So, I really doubt we'll rent it out but if a good fit came up it would be a great way to pay off three months of our mortgage!"
Hamilton and her husband put their four-bedroom, five-bath townhouse in North Arlington on the market at $15,000 for the week of inauguration. So far, there has only been one interested party, a man who wanted to help them rent the home, but bump up the price to $20,000 and keep a $5,000 referral fee for himself.
"It took me a little while to get back to him and I was skeptical when he never got back to me," Hamilton said. "So, I figure he either found someone else or I started asking too many questions."
The fact that the Hamilton's home is not in DC proper may be one of the reasons that they have had trouble garnering interest, but maybe not.
A 26-year-old professional and his two roommates told UrbanTurf that their three-bedroom in the U Street Corridor has been listed for about a month at $1,500 a night and they have gotten no responses. Carol Simms listed her Capitol Hill one-bedroom on November 10th for $1,200 a night and has not gotten any bites. Local real estate agent Jen Angotti offered to help one of her clients rent out his place in Columbia Heights, but he balked at her proposed rental price of $2,000 a night, saying he could get much more, and decided to rent it on his own. So far, there have not been any takers.
In fact, in all the research that UrbanTurf did, we were only able to find one person who was successful in renting his place. The man, a lobbyist who wished to remain anonymous, rented his one-bedroom on Massachusetts Avenue and 10th Street to a business associate for three nights at $1,000 a night. He is taking the money and heading to Colorado for the week of the inauguration.
The lack of interest may be the result of a number of factors.
Two weeks ago, about 4,500 hotel rooms in the DC area became available when advance room contracts were not signed. Even though the average price per night is still around $650 for these rooms, it is much cheaper than many of the Craigslist offerings, so visitors may be opting for a hotel stay now instead of staying in a stranger's apartment.
A more practical reason may be that supply is simply far outstripping demand. Despite the fact that there are going to be an estimated 2 million people in DC for the inauguration ceremony, the ads for inaugural lodging have now completely saturated the listings on many rental websites. For example, if you search for "Dupont Circle" now on the apartment rental section of Craigslist, there is as high a likelihood that you will find a place to rent for the week of the inauguration as you will to find a place for the year starting February 1st.
But perhaps the most compelling factor is that the prices are just too high for many people, especially given the state of the economy.
"I think there was more hype than anything else when this started and people are now not finding any takers," Michael Moore of Tutt, Taylor & Rankin told UrbanTurf. "I really think that these listings are sitting because of the astronomical prices that people are asking. Three, four and five thousand dollars a night is a lot of money these days."

A client of mine who's listed his property on Long & Foster's inaugural rental web site (http://www.january20.us) and works for the Marriott Wardman Hotel, said they've been booked solid for over a month (rooms & parties). He speculates that people who plan ahead & are highly organized reserved early, while the likely large number of procrastinators and last minute/impulse driven free spirits will be getting serious about putting their plans in place after Jan. 1. This is going to be an incredible event.

I remember reading the same thing happened in Denver, CO for Obama's acceptance speech earlier this year - a frenzy developed as motels and inns, and bed and bfast's all booked up. Some residents did well though…I've listed on DC craigslist with inquires, but no takers yet, and recently picked up http://www.crashtheinauguration.com in google reader which I'm looking into. This could be the economic surge we need. Good luck everybody!

the same beast that brought down the housing market, investment schemes, and this economy. Praise be to the the almighty dollar, the want of it, price your neighbor out of house and home, promote global hunger, put the cost of basic living necessities farther and farther out of reach. It's the Judeo-Christian ethic.
Can I get an AMEN.

Yeah don't watch this if you are on the fence, regarding a U3415W.
Gonna bite the bullet, going from 1080p to this is gonna be glorious.
Also I wasn't even aware this was a thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/
I don't have one, but I do like the idea of ultrawide. Surround gaming bezels suck.
That Dell is really tempting. I've been thinking about the ROG 34", and really want to go beyond 60Hz, but it's an extra $500.
I absolutely love my 21:9 monitor. I got the 34" Asus one with V-sync that cost more than I like to think about. The picture is gorgeous and very immersive... as long as you can get the frame rate up.
And there's the rub. My i7-2600k with 970's in SLI couldn't cut it with details cranked up at that resolution. My expensive monitor purchase directly caused a new computer build with a 1080. Now it's awesome, of course. Just be mindful of the CPU/GPU power you will need to run 3440x1440.
I also love it for every day and desktop stuff. I dock windows "full screen" to half of the monitor. It's like having 2 full monitors without the bezel. I greatly prefer it to my old 2 monitor setup.
@Vesper, did you run that new monitor with the i7-2600 and the gtx1080?
Here is a comparison vid of 4 monitors that run 21:9.
Kinda. If you have a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, imagine it being 1/3 wider and that's exactly it. It's nowhere near double the width. But then again, I never have windows fullscreen on my 27" 1440p monitor, so there is wasted horizontal space.
I've had one for a few months and I LOVE it. I'm still running dual monitors, but there's soooo much wonderful space on the 3415W that I mostly use the second monitor for Xbox One or to watch shows/movies while I'm using the PC>
Also, the fact that it fills most of your field of view is awesome for gaming. Really adds to the immersion. Game support is mixed. Some games letterbox the sides if they don't support 21:9, but a surprising percentage do. I find with a 980Ti I can run most games maxed out at full resolution. (The pixels are so little/sharp I can turn AA down or off completely with no ill results to get a little extra speed.) If you do need to drop the resolution, the scaling looks great with an Nvidia card.
Nope. I never installed the 1080 in the 2600k machine.
One other thing: the 21:9 monitors are significantly shorter than the 27" 1440p panels. It's so wide of a picture you don't really mind, but everything is a bit smaller than before.
The usual size (34") is 109DPI, the same as a 27" 2560x1440 monitor.
Hmm.. I could have sworn it was smaller. Now I'll have to measure. Maybe the huge bezel on the 27" Korean monitor is messing with me.
Probably-- I had one of those korean monitors, and when I got my new 27" dell I would have sworn it was much smaller, due to those gigantic bezels.
Yeah, I have my Dell 3415W next to an Asus 27" 2560x1440 display. Vertically the screens are the same size.
OK, why on earth are these things coming with HDMI 1.4 in 2016? The stuff in the cheap seats (AUD$900 @34") typically only has a single 60Hz capable input (usually displayport). Do they actually skimp for cheaper electronics which is the limitation, or just feature reduction for the price point?
Are you using the USB switching capability? I believe the U3415 has two upstream USB 3.0 ports so connected peripherals can be switched between two PC...
So, if I was in the market for a monitor, is the U3415W the way to go, or is there something coming down the pike that would be better to wait for?
U3415 is $3 cheaper than yesterday... or $670 if you want the last one from Georgia Wholesale Group.
(This is not an endorsement.)
Depends on your budget and priorities. It looks to be a great panel, but the 60Hz limit and lack of VRR gives me pause. $700 seems like a good price, but at the same time it's a lot to spend on something that doesn't quite hit everything I'm looking for.
I really want that 21:9 ratio, but I have to accept the facts that, I'd need to go from a 1070 to a 1080 to play stuff on max settings like I prefer. I'd also need to upgrade my mobo/cpu/ram. As they are from 2011 and are already holding back my 1070.
At 1080p, the gtx1070 is future proofing yourself for probably 2+ years. :)
Yep, I use it when I'm doing work on my work Surface Book or my MacBook Air. Just connect the USB cable and the DisplayPort cable to the laptop and switch the monitor input. I have my keyboard/mouse plugged into the monitor USB, so it acts as a switchbox between my desktop and the laptop. Works great, doesn't seem to add any lag.
Groovy! So, additional question... Are you using a gaming keyboard/mouse? My Razer Blackwidow and Naga will not get recognised through my USB 2 kvm and offer only basic HID capability as a result. This seems a common enough problem with kvm's but there is minimal info confirming which work and which dont.

Lyon | Cristiano Ronaldo became the Dragon-slayer as his record-equalling ninth European Championship goal helped power Portugal past Real Madrid teammate Gareth Bales' Wales and into the Euro 2016 final.
Ronaldo brilliantly rose above the Wales' defence to score his country's first goal in the 2-0 win in front of 50,000 fans in the Stade de Lyon on Wednesday.
Nani deflected the Portugal hero's shot for the decisive second goal that saw their country into Sunday's final against tournament hosts France or world champions Germany.
Ronaldo and Bale had not spoken in the tournament before Wednesday's match. With victory sealed, Ronaldo embraced his club teammate at the end.
The team did a marvellous job to reach the final. I hope on Sunday you'll see me crying with joy, said Ronaldo, who as a 19-year-old wept on the pitch after Portugal lost 1-0 to Greece as hosts of the Euro 2004 final.
I have always dreamed of winning for Portugal — I hope it is our time now. I am very confident. I deserve it, Portugal deserves it, all the Portugese people deserve it.
Bale paid tribute to the three-time world player of the year with whom he has not always had an easy relationship in Madrid.
Bale had the better of the first half showing off his pace and power to threaten the Portuguese goal.
But five minutes into the second period, Raphael Guerreiro curled a cross to the back post and Ronaldo leapt above James Chester to head past Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
Three minutes later, Nani, who has just completed a move from Turkey's Fenerbahce to Valencia in Spain, instinctively pushed out his leg to deflect a Ronaldo shot past Hennessy.
Tens of thousands of fans celebrated in Lisbon's Praca do Comercio. Heads dropped in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Middle East Expert Blames 'Islamic Thugs' for Syria Violence
- Public Schools: The Latest Mission Field for Christian Students
- U.K. Innkeepers Fined for Turning Away Gay Couple
- Many Flee Nigeria to Evade Islamist Attacks
Middle East Expert Blames 'Islamic Thugs' for Syria Violence
As fighting escalates in the Syrian city of Homs as citizens protest the regime of president Bashar al-Assad, area pastors are also reporting a significant increase in the number of Christian deaths, targeted killings and kidnappings, WORLDmag.com reports. Sources say Islamic militants have killed more than 200 Christians in Homs in recent days, including entire families and young children. "What we are hearing firsthand is the exact opposite of what's being reported in Western media," said Victor Atallah, director of Middle East Reformed Fellowship of Cyprus. "Most Syrians are most frightened of an Islamic takeover in Syria and are fleeing not from the government, but from Islamic thugs from all over." Atallah said there were Islamic militants in the Homs area from Lebanon, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia -- many backed by al Qaeda -- and added that those fighters were largely helping to sustain the conflict and uprisings that first began in the country 11 months ago.
Public Schools: The Latest Mission Field for Christian Students
With religion absent from schools for nearly five decades and only a minority of teenagers claiming to believe the Bible, one Christian organization is looking to target Bible-illiterate high school students in public schools, the Christian Post reports. The Life Book Movement is working with local church youth leaders and their students to help "saturate" the schools with The Life Book, a brief, interactive overview of the Old Testament and the Gospel of John. "The Life Book Movement addresses the core issue of Christianity -- sin and salvation," said Carl Blunt, president and CEO of the organization. "With a shift toward a more socially-driven Gospel, the biblical message of sinners in need of a Savior seems to be diminished." The organization provides youth leaders with The Life Books for their students to hand out to their classmates at school -- then the leaders provide follow-up and discipleship if desired. "We believe Christian teenagers represent a missionary force waiting to be used on their home turf," Blunt said. "Public schools represent the most strategic mission field in the United States." More than 2 million students in 47 states have been given The Life Book during school since Jan. 2010, with the involvement of more than 75,000 Christian students, and more than 3 million copies are being printed for distribution in the 2012-2013 school year.
U.K. Innkeepers Fined for Turning Away Gay Couple
Britain's Court of Appeal has ordered a pair of Christian innkeepers to pay 3,600 pounds ($5,800) in damages to a gay couple that was told they could not share a room in the couple's guesthouse, the Religion News Service reports. The three-judge panel rejected an appeal by the innkeepers, Peter and Hazelmary Bull, in their conviction of telling Martyn Hall and Steven Preddy they could not share a double room, and told them to pay the penalty. The Bulls had argued that permitting Hall and Preddy to share a bedroom went against their Christian belief that sex outside marriage was a sin, and that they had not discriminated against the couple because of their homosexuality.

Many Nigerians have fled to neighboring Cameroon to escape violence by the Islamist Boko Haram group and revenge attacks by Christians, International Christian Concern reports. Boko Haram has claimed to be fighting for an Islamic state in Nigeria's north, but many southern Nigerians have also left the country. "Everybody is insecure in Nigeria," said a priest from southern Nigeria who is taking refuge in a Cameroonian border town. "The fear is all-pervading. ... We feel secure in Cameroon." Boko Haram has taken credit for the recent rash of bombings and shootings, including the Jan. 20 attack in Nigeria's second-largest city of Kano that left 185 dead -- the group's deadliest attack yet.

I just finished up my first week of dates on my solo acoustic tour. For one thing there are a lot less people on stage. There is also a lot more room in the dressing rooms. I didn't find myself talking to myself but I did make little tour videos of myself.
The solo dates this summer have me opening for Joan Armatrading who reminds me a bit of Tracy Chapman. The shows have been in some really big and beautiful rooms and have generally been sold out. Its always fun to play for a packed house. I've been playing 30 min sets which is a perfect amount of time for a solo set. It's been a ton of fun getting back to the way that I originally wrote these songs. Just me and an acoustic guitar. The only subtle difference is that 1000 people are quietly waiting on your every word. I can't say that I've been nervous at all, (you know……little ol' me with just a guitar and a mic in the spotlight). It's almost been the opposite. I've been excited for the challenge of entertaining a thousand people all by myself for a half an hour. It's honest. It's intimate. It's quiet. It's dynamic. It's true to the essence of the songs and I've really been digging it. I've also been able to dig into the catalog of songs and dust off some tunes that the full band and I haven't done in a while which is refreshing.
"Bottle of Love" and "Natalie" and "Don't Do Me That Way" and "Yesterday's News" have all made appearances into the set lists and the response has been great.
When it's just you on stage you obviously have complete control as to what the songs are going to do. I've been able to steer the tempos to different zones. I've been able to completely stop songs in the middle of the tunes for effect. I"ve been able to sing as quietly as possible. I've been able to use (or not use) the microphone to really emphasize specific parts of the tunes. It's an amazing feeling to sing to a full theater with no microphone at all. You can feel it filling the room and hitting the back walls. You can feel a real connection with the audience. There is nothing between you and them. It is a conversation.
I've also been playing a beautiful new acoustic guitar on this tour. Gibson Guitars has given me a Dove which is big and gorgeous. It has a dove inlay on the pick guard and wings on the bridge. It sounds huge and its really a pleasure to play such a beautiful instrument when it's all by your lonesome.
I head back out on the road next week for some more acoustic dates. I'll be in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, Madison WI and St Paul, MN. I hope to see some of you out there for these intimate dates. Can't wait.
Thanks for listening.
Talk soon, Jamie

Gastric sleeve volumes and MTV
What volume fits into a gastric sleeve stomach after sleeve gastrectomy?
The maximum tolerated volume (MTV) or gastric volume reflects the size of the bougie* used during surgery and the time elapsed since surgery.
Straight after surgery, the volume is somewhat predictable but within quite a short period of time, the sleeved stomach stretches.
The sleeve gastric volume increases as the months go by and appears to stabilise about 2 years after surgery with sleeve volume increasing by a massive 50% at 12 months after surgery. This increase in capacity shows you that you need to take advantage of the early months after surgery, when the stomach-sleeve is still firm and small to maximise results.
At the OSAANZ Conference in 2012, Catherine Jarman reported at 2 yrs after sleeving, a 250 ml MTV gastric capacity with 40 F bougie compared with 330 ml MTV with 50 F bougie. That's quite a difference in capacity that can explain why some people with sleeves are able to consume a lot more than others a few years out from surgery.
Why does the sleeve stretch out? We don't know for sure and I can only be theoretical about this. The ordinary stomach is a very stretchy organ that stretches and shrinks to suit the the amount of food and drink it receives. This research suggests that either the sleeve-stomach doesn't shrink back fully after it gets stretched or the body is attempting to restore the stomach's capacity to a more 'normal' volume through some kind of adaptive process.
Bottom line? Do not over-stress the sleeve. Do not over-fill it. Learn your limits early and don't keep pushing them.
*a bougie is the calibration device that surgeon uses to work out how big to make your new stomach. Basically it is like a tube that is placed inside the stomach. The surgeon then snugs his staple-cutter up against the outside wall of the stomach and tube while stapling and cutting away the remaining stomach. F is a size reference - the smaller the F, the smaller the sleeved stomach's capacity. A too small a bougie may increase complications (leaks, strictures) whilst a too large a bougie could lead to lack of restriction and possible dilation of the sleeve and so failure of weight loss (or long-term weight regain). The optimal bougie size is said to be 32-36 F but this is best discussed with your own surgeon.

WAD Type
Read Me
This wad fixes the "Player in special sector" error for Doom v1.666 and Episode 3 Mission 9. Let me first say that this *IS* a map error, *NOT* a bug in the Engine. This same error was in Doom v1.2, but the 1.2 engine ignored the bad sector flag (explained below). With the enhancements to the Doom v1.666 engine, it now crashes when it finds the MAP error. Id has expressed to me that they will NOT be releasing a fix for this map bug, and also told me that I could distribute the fixed map. (I still have the E-Mail from <email removed> if you don't believe me) This is by no means an "Official" patch for the error in E3M9, and be warned that if you are playing a multi player, both people MUST use this Patch WAD. This Patch has been tested, and should work normally. Nothing New has been added. The problem with the sector giving the error was that it was tagged to a linedef on the bridge over the lava. That linedef had property #37 which tells the engine to lower the sector to the height of the NE sector and change the sector properties to that sector. Where this becomes a problem is the sector in the large room is already the lowest sector in the room. I saw no reason for the that sector to have a tag, so I just deleted the tag using Deu v5.21 GCC. To use this patch, type "doom -file 1666e3m9.wad" of course you only need to use this when you plan on playing E3M9. Alternatly, you can make this change to your DOOM.WAD file by using DEU v5.21 Use the following process: (1) Ensure that your DEU.INI file points to the correct DOOM.WAD (2) Start DEU by typeing "deu -pw 1666e3m9.wad" (Deu should tell you that it updated the entries corresponding to E3M9) (3) Use DEU's build option to recreate the entire 11Meg WAD file. Type "B DOOMTMP.WAD" (You should write to a new file) (4) Rename the DOOM.WAD to DOOMBAK.WAD (save this file until your sure that your new DOOM.WAD works properly) (5) Rename DOOMTMP.WAD to DOOM.WAD If you find problems with this Patch Wad, please contact me and NOT id, as they probably won't help you anyway. -Paul Hermann Internet: <email removed>

S-ROCK: Chebyshev methods for stiff stochastic differential equations. We present and analyze a new class of numerical methods for the solution of stiff stochastic differential equations (SDEs). These methods, called S-ROCK (for stochastic orthogonal Runge-Kutta Chebyshev), are explicit and of strong order 1 and possess large stability domains in the mean-square sense. For mean-square stable stiff SDEs, they are much more efficient than the standard explicit methods proposed so far for stochastic problems and give significant speed improvement. The explicitness of the S-ROCK methods allows one to handle large systems without linear algebra problems usually encountered with implicit methods. Numerical results and comparisons with existing methods are reported.

t0rin0 (1529) Do Not Resuscitate, California | October 15, 2013
Visited October 13, 2013.
This is a block west of the circle which means you can park on the side streets a bit easier than you could at Provisions. It's a very small place with a counter in the back right and a large chalk board on the left displaying the beers. Not a lot on tap but what they do have is pretty good quality. I saw several Green Flash taps as well as Ballast Point and Bootleggers. I was still recovering from a Chinese food-induced coma so I didn't eat but the food looked good. Prices were a bit high on both food and beer but that's what you get in Orange County. They have a tap list on the website too that isn't very far out of date. Check it out.
brokensail (1374) Dublin, California | July 1, 2013
Small restaurant located just next door to Wahoos. Walk up counter where you order and you can sit inside at one of the handful of seats, or outside on the patio that they seem to share with Wahoos. Fancied sausages with some already predetermined combinations of ingredients and buns or you can do a build your own sort of thing. About 10-12 beers on tap, but all of them are pretty basic things you can find anywhere. Still, a cool little place to have a bite to eat and a beer on a nice day.

On average, for every 1 person I've referred to Web Prosperity, 14 more have joined. That's amazing! And what it says is that success in WebProsperity isn't just for the guru or seasoned marketer… Everyone can win and win big with Web Prosperity.
My organization has grown to thousands of motivated members very fast and now I'm positioned to earn a huge passive commission check every month simply because I listened carefully then I was introduced to this opportunity and I took action.
More importantly, the same thing is already happening for hundreds of others on my team. This is the true hallmark of success – when everyone wins.
When the right product at the right price and the right payplan come to the market fortunes are made and lives are changed… This is what's happening with Web Prosperity and many of the thousands of people who have become members already.
I highly recommend Web Prosperity to anyone who wants to cash in on the Internet gold rush from home.

WebProsperity – What You Don't Know About WebProsperity Could Hurt You
By Daniel McGonagle
Before Joining Web Prosperity, there are some things you should know.
#1 – Who are you going to join under, who will your sponsor be?
Picking a sponsor for any type of MLM program like WebProsperity is almost as crucial to your success as the validity and sustainability of the program itself. If you pick a sponsor who doesn't have the capabilities to train you and the rest of his/her team, then you're going to be facing an uphill battle with your average MLM program.
Not everyone has a big list they can mail out to, so when a sponsor tells you they're team is growing super-fast and to get in now, well, they're correct in saying that, but also wrong.
The average sponsor wants you to get in sooner rather than later so you can enjoy their spillover referrals, but if you join later, after taking a week or two to decide whether or not you want to join for free, then you're slipping further and further down in the referral system and matrix. Therefore you'll be susceptible to less spillover because you'll have less knowledgeable marketers above you in your downline. This is typical of MLM programs, where it's usually the fast movers who benefit the most.
So my point here is that you need to pick a sponsor who can help you increase your downlines and referrals without a list.
Let's face facts here. Not everyone has a list, or even a responsive list, so getting new referrals will be the main issue facing not only the johnny-come-latelys of the MLM world, but it is also an issue for those who signed up right away.
#2- The second thing that could hurt you about joining WebProsperity or any other MLM program.
Does your team or sponsor have a plan for doing group marketing? Is there any plans in store for co-operative solo ad mailings or co-operative PPC campaigns?
As I mentioned earlier, MLM programs and MLM teams are only as good as the sustainability of the team, it's members, and the program itself.
In this Web Prosperity Review you'll notice that I've been burned by MLM programs in the past, even while doing pretty well with them, so I know that management and helping team members succeed is the ultimate way to ensure that everyone in your team succeeds.
My predictions are already coming true about this. There are a lot of people who are somewhat new or inexperienced with marketing on the internet who are merely trying to figure out what it is they really want to to online. Then, when they realize that a good opportunity is sitting in front of them, they don't know what to do first.
If and when they decide to take action, what is to be done first, build a site, a squeeze page, write autoresponder messages, get backlinks to their new site, find a good blog theme for their site etc…
Then, when the momentum gets going for them the experience some learning curve hiccups and push themselves to overcome those. And when all is said and done, they worked their butt off for 2-3 days just to get 5 or 6 signups.
When it comes to getting in on hot new launches, it pays to be a first mover. However, the success or failure of your team depends on your team, especially with MLM programs like WebProsperity. If you don't take care of your team and help them do more good things right away, then your base will suffer, and if your base suffers, then the team leader will start to see some attrition rates, and then the program starts to lose its steam.
This is why I am not a big fan of MLM programs. It seems to draw out the hype-driven ads and emails and blog posts, while it's the "newbies" who are left holding the bad trying to prop up the leaders.
The typical leaders will smugly state they got 150 signups in 2 days, and it might be true of they had a list or knew how to slap together a real nice page for promotion via PayPerclick marketing prior to the launch.
Do you know what happens to the cost of the Google Adwords clicks once everyone starts using PPC to advertise their sites?
Well, the price goes up and up because everyone is trying to outbid each other for top spots. So when the cost per click goes up and the launch has already passed, we all know that the conversion rate for new signups is highest while the hype is still overwhelming, so after the launch, the newcomer to the downline is faced with higher PPC costs for clicks going to pages that don't convert as well as they used to.
Maybe that sounds like a negative way of looking at things, but that's exactly what happens before, during, and after product launches, especially with new MLM launches like WebProsperity.
The best thing for team leaders to do is to be conscious about what they say to their team members.
As a team leader you should teach your team members how to build sites of their own and not just try to promote the program via their affiliate link. A lot of these MLM programs and network marketing programs offer their people self-replicated sites to promote.
What makes people succeed in business, especially online businesses?
One good way to succeed is to differentiate yourself from everyone else so you stand out. The MLM leaders you see promoting via Pay-per-click are using custom-made pages they created themselves and they can also boast that they have the hottest team in the program, like anyone can verify that.
The point is they got on board early knowing full well what they were going to do. Once an MLM leader decides to promote a program, they go full-bore with it, and hopefully start helping their team members afterwards.
The best thing for team members to do is realize they won't get 200 signups in a day unless they have a list or incredible pay-per-click marketing and copywriting skills.
My suggestion to those who are involved with the WebProsperity product launch or any other program launch for that matter, is to ascertain where you are in the food chain.

The big question I had was about the autoresponder. Will it substitute for my existing one?
Most MLM programs will only allow you to email to your contacts about their program. Since WebProsperity has a major partner with Implix, the GetResponse people, it lead our team to ask:
Will we get a fully functional autoresponder? Will this allow us to post to our own contacts about our own businesses and actually USE the tools of WebProsperity to prosper in our own business?
This is the question we asked. This is the answer we received. Emphasis is mine.
(2009-01-13 08:57:45) WebProsperity:
WebProsperity Contact was build (sic) using GetResponse's
technology. However, some features are limited or are
not available here as well as they depend on the
package you buy (Premium or Elite).
The responder can be used for promoting your own

In response to member and future member requests, David D'archangelo greeted the Thousands of WebProsperity Founders today with the announcement that there will be 6 more days of FREE signups allowed.
FOLKS. THIS NEVER HAPPENS. A launch is a launch. But this is a Pre launch and now a launch and then a post launch.
There are more than 62,000 people signed up FREE.
Pay attention, the free signup is designed to give you a good position in the mlm part of the program. You WILL still pay monthly for your services here. HOWEVER. Compare the cost of services here with the costs of services obtained separately and you find a HUGE savings. PLUS the ongoing growth of the program ensures a steady flow of 67% commissions on products you are already using.
So, go … and Build your team. Get your leaders in place.
I made a short slide show, and will try to show it here.
THE NEW CUT OFF DATE FOR FREE MEMBERS is JANUARY 13.

text: hi well my story is kinda long so ill try to keep it brief. when i was little my family went to church every sunday and all that, then my dad killed him self and we just stoped going to church i never found out why untill i was about 15 or 16 and it turned out the pastor asked my mom to stop going to the church we went to. when i was about 12 (2 yrs after my dad killed him self) i became an athiest no matter what any one said they could not convince me there was a God, i mean if there was how could he let such a young, innocent child suffer so much? shortly there after i started doing drugs and smoking wich carried on untill i was 16 when i had a very bad experience with hash oil and ironicly that probably saved my life. after i stoped doing drugs i started to have suicidal thoughts and october of 2004 i came very close to going through with it. just as i was going to start writing the letter explaining why i killed my self i came across a christian forum so i decided i could have a bit of fun and cause trouble there. once again my plans didnt quite work out (that wasnt a very good night for my plans thats the second one that failed in a matter of minutes). instead of me causing trouble i ended up meeting the person who would bring me back to God, for months we talked in to the wee hours of the morning about any thing. she pointed out scripture and was there for me pretty much any time i needed some one to talk to. not to long after that i ended up buying Passion of the Christ, i have only watched it once and dont think i could bring my self to do it again, iafter that is when i really gave my life to the Lord. now if i remember corectly it was april 24 2005 when i got baptized once again it happend because of people i met on that forum. i hadnt been to church in a long time and i didnt really know any one that did so one of my friends in texas actually managed to contact some one where i lived (british columbia at that point) and got me in touch with him. not to long after joining i was made a moderator there but due to conflicts with the admin and the direction the forum was going i ended up leaving about 2 yrs after joining.

"My lab is full of colleagues. Some are grad students, some are undergraduates, we differ only in experience." Terry Wheeler
David A. Steen, Ph.D., Assistant Research Professor
I am an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University. I work closely with the Alabama Natural Heritage Program (ALNHP) and the Auburn University Museum of Natural History (AUMNH) to study wildlife ecology in the southeastern United States and beyond. I received my Ph.D. from Auburn University (2011), my M.S. from the State University of New York-College of Environmental Science and Forestry (2003) and my B.S. from the University of New Hampshire (2001). I also recently completed a postdoctoral appointment at Virginia Tech (2012-2013). I hope you'll explore this site to learn more about my ongoing research and outreach efforts.
Jim Godwin, Zoologist
I am an Animal Biologist and received my masters degree from Auburn University under the guidance of Bob Mount. I have extensive conservation-oriented research throughout Alabama, concentrating on amphibians and reptiles, but including studies of other vertebrate groups as well. I'm currently working on the repatriation of Eastern Indigo Snakes to the Conecuh National Forest and conservation planning for Gopher Tortoises within Alabama.
Justin Haynes, MS Graduate Student
I received my B.S. from Birmingham-Southern College in 2015, where I majored in biology and minored in psychology. As an undergraduate at BSC, I conducted research on the amphibian chytrid fungus and its prevalence in the Birmingham, Alabama, area under the guidance of Dr. Megan Gibbons. For my master's thesis, I am studying the efficacy of detector dog usage in locating Eastern Indigo Snakes in South Florida. I have always been very interested in conservation and ecology, especially in the Southeast, and my favorite taxa to work with are amphibians and reptiles. I enjoy both field and laboratory work related to these animals and their ecological interactions, and I strongly believe in the importance of communication and education through works of science.
Joseph Jenkins, MS Graduate Student
I am studying the habits and status of the Flattened Musk Turtle in Bankhead National Forest. I received my B.S. in Zoology and my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering at Auburn University (2016). In addition to my undergrad studies, I have spent the past four years conducting field research on the Flattened Musk Turtle and the Black Warrior Waterdog salamander with the Alabama Natural Heritage Program. I am best described as a field herpetologist and herpetoculturist with an interest in ecology and an obsession for conservation, especially of rare and endangered species. I am an amateur mead maker and avid outdoorsman.
Sara Piccolomini, MS Graduate Student
I am studying the reintroduction of Eastern Indigo Snakes to Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines Preserve for my thesis. My research interests are in population and community ecology, conservation, and physiological ecology of rare and imperiled amphibians and reptiles. I received my B.A. from Hiram College (2014) in Environmental Studies. I have spent the last year helping to assess the status of endangered species like the Black Warrior Waterdog, Eastern Hellbender, and Gopher Tortoise in Alabama while working for the Alabama Natural Heritage Program and the Reticulated Flatwoods Salamander at Eglin Air Force Base while working for Virginia Tech/Jackson Guard. Through these experiences I have developed a deep passion to help protect the rare and endangered species of the southeast. I spend my free time hanging out with my dog.
Phil Pearson, Lab Manager
I received my Bachelor of Science in biology and Bachelor of Arts in anthropology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and my Masters of Science in Biological Sciences from Auburn University under Dr. Dan Warner. My research interests revolve around reptile evolutionary ecology, developmental plasticity, thermal adaptations to climate change, and maternal effects specifically the effects of changing of phenology and thermal developmental environment have on organisms.

Every year at this time, we reveal "dark horse" teams that are somewhat unknown or can outpace expectations. And despite the fact that we have far more advanced systems of technology, we also divulge teams that are "under the radar" and cannot be detected except by our genius. A dark horse is a horse racing term about an equine that is little known to gamblers, who are supposed to know everything about the ponies.
Essentially, we are telling you to "keep an eye on" these teams so that we can tell you "I told you so" about them at the end of the season. Of course, I am far too kind and benevolent to say I told you so (I will simply tweet out a link to this article should any of these teams pay off in March). My last warning is not to "sleep" on these teams, in your near-narcoleptic, sleep-deprived condition.
Sure, teams like Missouri (with an outstanding collection of transfer talent), Duke (bouncing back from an early exit in the NCAA tournament), Michigan State (with a healthy Branden Dawson), and Colorado (with rebounding savant Andre Roberson) will be on many of our lists, but they are too close to the radar to me.
My list has five true, "under-the-radar, dark-horse teams to keep an eye on" (so don't sleep on them) for the 2012-13 season:
Gonzaga Bulldogs
It seems as if Mark Few's Zags are in this position often. Gonzaga has won in the West Coast Conference like UCLA did in the John Wooden era, yet it has not been able to crack the Elite Eight barrier since 1999. Gonzaga has been good enough but has always seemed to come up against the toughest draws and seeds, not to mention a couple of tough game locations.
This year, I like Few's crew and the Zags' chances to be special. Young guards Kevin Pangos, Gary Bell and David Stockton are gamers, and Pangos and Bell each hit more than 50 3-point field goals last season. Elias Harris is the best player, rebounder and scorer, and he had a really nice performance at the LeBron James Skills Academy in Las Vegas. Lefty Sam Dower has improved every year, and bigs Kelly Olynyk and Przemek Karnowski provide size and skill. Remember, this team pounded West Virginia and played Ohio State tough in the NCAA tournament with a young backcourt last season.
Creighton Bluejays
The Bluejays return four starters and get a newcomer who can really shoot it. Last season, Creighton was one of the best offensive teams in the country and featured one of the best all-around players in Doug McDermott. Creighton had a top-five offense and averaged 79 points per game, outstanding in the rugged Missouri Valley Conference, and shot better than 50 percent from the floor as a team.
The challenge for this year's Jays will be to improve a defense that ranked outside the top 100 in defensive efficiency last season and find a way to limit the easy scores. McDermott is a complete player who can step away, post and play an efficient game that is a joy to watch. Former Rutgers big man Gregory Echenique and former Gonzaga guard Grant Gibbs provide outstanding support to McDermott, and shooters Ethan Wragge and newcomer Isaiah Zierden can stretch the floor with excellent range and 3-point accuracy.
Stanford Cardinal
The Cardinal suffered from the overall lack of respect earned by the Pac-12 last season, yet they finished the year winning 26 games and the NIT championship. With a painfully young team, Stanford was very solid on the defensive end but not as proficient as coach Johnny Dawkins would have liked on the offensive end. However, the offense will come.
What sells me on Stanford is the defense was there all last year. Sophomore guard Chasson Randle is the real thing and is capable of being an All-Pac 12 performer this season. He can get by people, and his already effective perimeter shot has been tightened and improved. Aaron Bright, Dwight Powell and Anthony Brown are all a year older, and all of them should be significantly better. The key for Stanford, in addition to being more experienced, is to limit turnovers. The young Cardinal turned the ball over more than they assisted last season and almost as much as their opponents. Clean that up, and Stanford is an NCAA tournament team that can compete with anyone.
UNLV Rebels
The Rebels lost point guard Oscar Bellfield and top scorer Chace Stanback, but they return some excellent talent and promising newcomers such that coach Dave Rice could have a very special season if everyone stays healthy.
Mike Moser is the Rebels' best player. The UCLA transfer is an elite rebounder who pursues the ball out of his area and is a lock for a double-double nightly. Anthony Marshall shot more free throws than any Rebel last year, and Justin Hawkins is a good defender who needs to improve his offensive efficiency. The key will be freshman Anthony Bennett and transfers Roscoe Smith, Khem Birch and Bryce Jones. Bennett is a McDonald's All-American who can rebound and score inside and step out and make a play. Smith is an athletic forward with potential. Jones is a versatile shooting guard who played well at USC, but his tenure with the Trojans ended badly. Birch transferred from Pittsburgh without really giving it a chance, but he is an outstanding rebounder and shot-blocker who will be eligible to play after the fall semester.
UNLV ran out of gas at the end of the season last year and needs to be able to knock down free throws and play games at a slower tempo and still win. I will not be surprised if this team is able to do that.
San Diego State Aztecs
The Aztecs were a bit of a surprise last season after losing Kawhi Leonard, racing to 26 wins and another NCAA tournament spot. Steve Fisher returns his top four scorers and adds St. John's transfer Dwayne Polee Jr. and freshman Winston Shepard. Jamaal Franklin was among the top players in the West last year, averaging more than 17 points per game, just fewer than eight rebounds and shooting almost 200 free throws throughout the season.
Franklin needs to cut down his turnovers, but he is productive and versatile. Chase Tapley and Xavier Thames are very good guards, and Thames led the team in assists last year. Polee provides another quality athlete and scorer, and Shepard is a 6-foot-8 rebounder who can really run the floor. The Aztecs are deep and talented and now expect to win.

Many thanks to HaikuUniverse for publishing an haiku that I wrote recently while waiting in an exam room at the doctor's office and gratitude also to Morgen Bailey for publishing a few of my 6 word stories.
The Killing Fields Of Home
It is a most difficult task to make sense of violence, particularly when it often seems unceasing. There have been numerous horrific acts of murder recently, and in trying to write about them, it feels important to see these events not only as individual incidents but to also make the connections between them, both in why they happen and how we process them. The following is a poem I wrote in response to the bloody and heartbreaking first week in July, 2016.
The Killing Fields Of Home
On July 4th,
when I was trying to make sense
of the bombings in Medina and Baghdad
on the very same day that the not so United States of America
was ritually celebrating what we call independence,
with colorful bombs bursting in air,
it seemed really important to remember that
the children who saw real bombs were shouting not with glee
but with fear before bleeding to death,
so I wrote haikus about that,
little poems like the children who died–
one for Medina,
Bombs bursting in air,
bodies explode, people die–
no celebration
and one for Baghdad,
Car bomb in Baghdad,
the twenty five kids who died
did not like fireworks
and I thought I had done my duty as a poet,
but then I read that dozens of people were shot
in Chicago over the holiday weekend
for who knows what reasons and they were bleeding too
and we haven't even caught our breath since Orlando
and it occurred to me that maybe I needed to write a longer poem,
then Alton Sterling and Philando Castile
were gunned down by the police
because the color of their skin was a crime
and Melissa Harris-Perry wrote about how that feels
as a suicide note that I can't stop reading
on the heels of the Chilcot Inquiry that minces no words
blaming Tony Blair for lying to his country about the Iraq war
while in this country we turn endless battle into
an anthem and Bush and Cheney just smirk
as a veteran of war, taught to kill in defense of our country,
shoots at the police in Dallas and more blood is spilt
and they send in a robot to take him out
which prompts Donald Trump to want a photo op with the NYPD
and I'm wondering if a sonnet is adequate
when my morning paper tells me that there have been
ten gang killings in ten months in the county where I live
and they have a column too about the child
of a woman who was killed by her boyfriend
and someone says we should all remember that
sometimes the police help and he tells a story
about a police officer who helped a lady repair her mailbox
and that was mighty nice of her, and I mean that sincerely,
but I'm thinking that sounds like a bandaid story
when we need a tourniquet because
a GOP Congressman says there are a lot more steps to be taken
before they will vote on gun control legislation
and I'm wondering how many steps there could really be
from his office to the floor to take a vote and when are we going to
quit playing six degrees of separation and take action
and in the time I have been writing this,
more people have been killed,
and I cannot type fast enough to keep up,
or even pause long enough
to pretty up this poem that cannot find its end.

Workshop: Moving Beyond Writer's Block With Breath, Meditation, and Movement
Writer's block is often due to issues that have nothing to do with our writing. At a half day workshop in June, Kim Thompson and I will introduce you to some ways to free space for your words to flow, using meditation, breathing and gentle movement techniques combined with writing exercises that help us move past what is blocking the flow of words.
Moving Beyond Writer's Block with Breath, Meditation, and Movement at The Writer's Center in Bethesda, MD: June 5, 2:00-5:00 pm. Fee: $50. Taught with movement teacher Kim Thompson.
Can't think of the next line? Sometimes it is more than our minds that are blocked. This workshop will introduce meditation, breathing and gentle movement techniques that you can utilize to get un-stuck and free space for your best writing. We will look at techniques that address stress, mind clutter, posture, how energy (and ideas!) move through our bodies, ways to unscramble our thoughts, and more. Please bring paper and pen and wear comfortable (suitable for gentle movement) clothing.
Creative Writing For Teens Workshop At The Gaithersburg Book Festival
I am so excited to have the opportunity to co-facilitate a Creative Writing For Teens workshop at The 2016 Gaithersburg (MD) Book Festival on May 21 from 4:00-5:30 at the Writer's Center Tent:
Using participatory writing prompts, teen writers will have an opportunity to experience and learn more about how workshopping techniques can assist them in their creative writing. They will have a chance to share their work and get feedback as time allows. They will receive information about MWA's teen writing clubs which are offered without cost at libraries throughout the state as well as other resources to further their writing.
The workshop is free and open to all teens and a great chance to find out more about the ongoing Maryland Writers' Association's teen writing clubs and the experience of being a writer.
"When It Comes To Peace…"
Deeply grateful for this quote from the Washington Nuclear Museum and Educational Center (although I'm not quite sure where they got the birthdate, but close enough :-).
5 Poems-Columbia Journal
Many thanks to Columbia Journal for publishing five of my poems, If Unencumbered (The Story Of A Life That Did Not Happen), Self-Destruction:, Sepia Legacy, What Can't Be Buried, and You Are Who I'll Become.
Great Article About The Gaithersburg Teen Writing Club
Great thanks to The (Gaithersburg) Town Courier for this great article about the Gaithersburg Teen Writing Club. I think the quotes from two of our writers says it all,
Gabby Howenstein said the group met her goals "to expand my horizons in my writing, get good feedback, and hopefully make a few new friends." In addition, she "had the opportunity to hear and read the wonderful writing of some of our other members."
Yamini Manikoth heard about the club from Gabby, and "thought it would be interesting to see what it was like. And I think it's one of my favorite things now, because so many people come in and talk about things of mutual interest. … So as someone who enjoys writing, hearing feedback from other people who think the same as you is one of the best feelings in the world.

Published: Friday 2nd January 2015 by The News Editor
Japan defender Maya Yoshida has agreed a new three-year contract at Southampton, the club have announced.
The 26 year-old has been with Southampton since August 2012, making 60 appearances and scoring three goals.
Yoshida, who can play at right-back as well as in the centre, has now joined up with Japan ahead of the Asian Cup in Australia.
Japan are set to play Palestine on January 12 and then have matches against Iraq and Jordan.
The Japan defender opened his official Twitter account with the message confirming the new deal at Southampton. He wrote: " Very glad to see all of you guys on the Twitter and announce that I've just signed another 3 years with #saintsfc!!!!"
Southampton manager Ronald Koeman paid tribute to Yoshida's work ethic.
He said at a press conference: "I am very pleased about that (news) because in my opinion he is the example of how you have to deal with the job as a football player.
"He works very seriously , always doing his best, always (putting) the team in front of himself, and can play in different positions , so for the coach it is always nice to have those kind of players."

Ford Australia president Tom Gorman believes women evaluate cars differently than do men, prompting widespread discussion of how best to meet their differing wants.
"I don't know if there's much of a performance preference (for females) as with the male buyers, and I don't think that they're ute buyers," says Mr Gorman, admitting those are two areas in which Ford is "very, very strong".
"I think we need to give them (women) good solid design, good value for money and easy and fun to drive without necessarily all the performance criteria."
Mr Gorman admits Ford hasn't done a good job attracting women, saying: "Our challenges from a brand perspective will continue to be with attracting younger buyers and females."
Mr Gorman says he is considering creating a new model series (using existing vehicles as a base) pitched specifically at females.
"We could look at doing a series within a nameplate," says Mr Gorman, who says models could be differentiated by features, trim colours, wheels or even engines.
He also believes the company's under-performing Focus and the even smaller Fiesta hold big opportunities for female buyers.
"For us, the opportunities really lie in that Focus and Fiesta market."

Pogrebnyak agrees terms
Reading expect to complete the signing of Pavel Pogrebnyak in the next seven days as they only await a work permit for the Russian.
Last Updated: 02/07/12 1:28pm
Reading expect to complete the signing of Pavel Pogrebnyak in the next seven days as they only await a work permit after agreeing personal terms with the Russia striker.
Royals boss Brian McDermott revealed earlier this week a deal for Pogrebnyak had been struck.
And after the player passed his medical, Reading say they anticipate the deal to be completed in the coming days.
"Reading football club has agreed terms with Pavel Pogrebnyak to join the club," read a statement on their official website.
"The player has already completed a medical and the deal is now only subject to the player obtaining a UK work permit.
Four-year deal
"Reading football club anticipate completing the signing within the next seven days."
Pogrebnyak is out of contract this summer and it has been reported Premier League new boys Reading had offered him a four-year deal.
The 28-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham from German side Stuttgart, netting six goals in 12 appearances, but he rejected the offer of a permanent deal with the Cottagers.
Confirmation of the deal comes a day after Reading secured the signing of midfielder Danny Guthrie on a three-year contract.
The 25-year-old former Newcastle player completed his medical on Friday and will formally complete the move on Sunday.
