Mark Craig has covered the NFL for 23 years, and the Vikings since 2003 for the Star Tribune. He is one of 44 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors. Follow him at @markcraignfl.
Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
As the Vikings prepare for Sunday's Week 12 game with Chicago at Soldier Field, here's a look at a handful of eye-opening figures and facts.
Sacks by the Vikings in their last meeting with Chicago, a 17-13 loss in the 2011 regular season finale. Defensive end Jared Allen had 3.5 sacks in that contest to set a new Vikings record for sacks in a season.
Sacks allowed by the Bears in Monday night's lopsided 32-7 loss in San Francisco with 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith recording 5.5 on his own. Quarterback Jason Campbell, starting in place of Jay Cutler, was not only sacked six times but hit on 11 occasions. Chicago has allowed 34 sacks in 10 games, second most in the NFL.
NFL teams with fewer rushing yards as a whole than Vikings star Adrian Peterson. Peterson has 1,128 rushing yards to lead the league in that category. The Vikings rank third in rushing yards as a team, averaging 150.5 per game. They trail only San Francisco (165.5) and Washington (165.0) in that category.
NFC teams with records of .500 or above at this point in the season. That should make the playoff chase incredibly interesting over the final six weeks. The current division leaders are Atlanta (9-1), San Francisco (7-2-1), Green Bay (7-3) and New York (6-4). If the season ended today, the NFC wild cards would be Chicago (7-3) and Seattle (6-4), based on tiebreaking procedures. Also in the wild card picture right now are Tampa Bay (6-4), the Vikings (6-4), New Orleans (5-5) and Dallas (5-5).
Vikings quarterbacks to win in Chicago in the 21st century. The list is not long. Daunte Culpepper aided a 28-16 win at Soldier Field in 2000, throwing TD passes to Cris Carter, Randy Moss and Matthew Hatchette. Tarvaris Jackson was under center for a 34-31 victory in 2007 with Adrian Peterson (20 carries, 224 yards, three TDs) doing most of the offensive damage. The Vikings are 2-9 in their last 11 trips to Solider Field and also lost 27-23 at Champaign's Memorial Stadium in 2002. The Bears quarterbacks who presided over those 10 wins: Jim Miller, Rex Grossman, Chad Hutchinson, Kyle Orton and Jay Cutler.
Takeaways by the Chicago defense this season, most in the NFL. Cornerback Tim Jennings has a league-best eight interceptions and Charles Tillman is tops in fumbles forced (seven). The Bears have scored seven touchdowns on defense as well.
Takeaways by the Vikings since the start of the 2011 season. This year, the Vikings have five interceptions and seven fumbles recovered as a team.
Percy Harvin's NFL rank in catches through 10 games. When Harvin made his last reception, a 9-yarder early in the third quarter of a Nov. 4 game in Seattle, he led the league in that category. But a sprained ankle kept him out of the Vikings' Week 10 win over Detroit and was followed by a bye week. In that time, seven receivers have leapfrogged past Harvin on the catch list. They are Indianapolis' Reggie Wayne (76), New England's Wes Welker (73), Dallas' Jason Witten (73), Chicago's Brandon Marshall (69), Detroit's Calvin Johnson (65), Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez (64) and Cincinnati's A.J. Green (64).
Vikings record after their bye week the last 10 seasons. They have sandwiched the bye week with victories four times in that span: in 2003, '04, '06 and '09. Last year coming out of the bye, however, the Vikings were trounced 45-7 at Green Bay.
Chicago's record, including playoffs, in games started by quarterback Jay Cutler the past three seasons. Cutler may not be an MVP candidate but he has at least steadied the Bears offense. Without Cutler as the starter, the Bears are 2-6 with back-ups Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Josh McCown and Jason Campbell unable to jumpstart much. Cutler's status for Sunday's game with the Vikings is still up in the air as he tries to get past a concussion suffered Nov. 11 against Houston.
The Vikings' 2012 regular season schedule has been released. Here's your quick look at what's ahead as the team looks to bounce back from last year's 3-13 disaster.
Everyone from the expert-level draftnik to the most casual Vikings fan has discussed the Vikings' No. 3 overall pick ad nauseam. But what about the team's nine other picks? What might a team with numerous holes to fill do on Days 2-3 of this month's NFL draft? Access Vikings is taking a round-by-round look at the team's history in Rounds 2-7 since Rick Spielman began overseeing the team's draft preparation as director of player personnel in 2007. We'll also take a look at players Spielman, now the team's general manager, might select later this month.
While taking a breath in this free-agent yawner frenzy ...
Funny how things change in a year.
A year ago, the Seahawks needed a quarterback. They signed Tarvaris Jackson, who had spent his first five NFL seasons either struggling and/or being shoved aside to make room for Brett Favre's post-Mankato arrivals.
When the Seahawks nabbed T-Jack, Seattle GM John Schneider gave an interview to Yahoo! that slammed a big old club right over former Vikings coach Brad Childress, who hooked T-Jack in 2006, but was too stubborn to throw him back when he started to stink up the boat.
"He has not been in a good situation," Schneider said at the time. "He's been jerked around. We wanted to put him in a stable situation."
Schneider also said, "He's 28 years old, and quite frankly, was ..." um, well, "... on for four years."
Schneider later apologized to the Vikings. As free agency unfolds this year, one has to think that somewhere in Northeast Ohio, Childress, the Browns new offensive coordinator, is enjoying what's going on in Seattle this spring.
One of the more fascinating non-Peyton transactions of the spring is Seattle's signing of quarterback Matt Flynn, who got a three-year deal that will pay him $13 million for each of the two NFL starts he now has on his resume.
So, yes, the team that said the Vikings jerked T-Jack around by signing Brett Favre went out and got its own former Packer -- albeit one with about 300 or so fewer starts. By the way, the Seahawks also tried to sign Manning as well, which is further evidence that teams trying to groom Tarvaris are usually going to be teams looking to replace Tarvaris.
The Seahawks say Flynn and Jackson will compete for the job. But something tells me if this were a 40-yard dash, Flynn would be starting on the 33-yard line.
A year after ripping the Vikings for jerking Jackson around, Schneider might want to thank them for helping Jackson deal with what appears to be the backup to a guy with two starts.

Our off-dry Riesling originates from one acre on the steepest, coolest section of our property, Nicholas Estate Vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. It is always the last fruit to be harvested and is heavily netted to protect it from the birds.
Immediately reminiscent of bright, golden delicious apples, ripe pears and cantaloupe melon on the palate. Aromas of Meyer lemon, honeysuckle and fresh peaches with quince.
There's an elegant creaminess in the texture and the fresh acidity inherent in each of our Rieslings creates a fresh, lovely, balanced and softly-crisp wine. This versatile, ageable Riesling is perfect with fresh crab, fried calamari, tempura, razor clams, pastas in cream sauce and more.
Bottled under screwcap for the first time, this is also the first of our wines to carry both Salmon Safe and LIVE seals. Also, the back label carries the new International Riesling Foundation Taste Profile. This indicates the perceived sweetness in a Riesling, calculated by balancing the residual sugar, total acidity and pH in the wine. This is a voluntary option, and we're excited to be among the first in Oregon to use it.
"This gentle, lightly off-dry Riesling was fermented primarily in neutral oak, which seems to have softened the entry without impacting the flavors. Aromatic highlights of honeysuckle and orange marmalade introduce a full palate with a complex fruit mix including raspberry, citrus and orange. The finish brings an impression of cotton candy." 90 Points Wine Enthusiast

Well you know some people will start speculating about the character return, but unless anything happens in the anime, I will be around to bring things back to reality. It actually sounds like every old Gym leader might be re-appearing, so if that's the case I wouldn't expect it to carry over into the anime at all. Don't forget Brock is no longer a Gym leader in the anime, Giovanni is still a criminal, Gary is a researcher instead of a Gym leader, I can't see this really affecting the show at all. As for Misty, you'd think after HGSS did nothing to give her an appearance last gen, I doubt this will.

Aidan O'Brien was the Champion Amateur Jockey of 1993/94, the same season in which he trained his first winner, on his first day as a licensed Trainer. In 1996, he would become Ireland's youngest ever Champion Trainer, a title he has now held continuously since 1998. In 2001, he became the youngest ever Champion British Trainer, and the first overseas holder of the title since, well, since one Dr. M.V. O'Brien. You may be beginning to spot a pattern here. Under the quiet gaze of the Master of Ballydoyle today, Champions learn their craft. Europe's leading sire Galileo and the USA's best young sire Giant's Causeway are just two of the string of exceptional talents that have blossomed on his watch before making their way to Coolmore farms in Ireland, the US and the Hunter Valley in Australia. Aidan is still a young man, and this table tells quite a tale. Watch this space.

I have been using this mask twice a week for the past month and I'm really impressed. I have very oily skin on my T-zone which makes me get a cystic pimple on the sides of my nose once in a while. I know..soo gross! I had felt one big pimple coming and used this as a spot on treatment and left it overnight. In the morning, that pimple had considerably subsided and never came about. Other times, I use it as a full face mask which made my pores feel cleaner and my skin glowing after rinsing off. I leave it on about 20 mins. I feel a little sting in my eyes while applying but it soon disappears as it dries. I purchased this full size tube in ulta for $3.99 only and plan to stock up. Very good product for oily skin!

Like everyone else below me, I am VERY impressed and 'wow'd' by this mask. This mask is the perfect one among the other freeman masks, which i'm going to try anyways. the lemon & mint one is for oily skin and t-zone, which has me written all over it. unfortunately, only 1 travel sized packet was left at the wal-mart i went to. I am on a hunt to find the full sized bottle. hopefully i wont have a problem finding more.
- dries quickly and doesn't sting like i was expecting it to
- the color is quite pleasant. reminds me of Tiffany blue lol
- the travel sized packet has quite a lot of product in it. I could probably get 4-5 uses out of it. I only applied this in my t-zone and cheeks evenly. my outer cheeks and sides didn't need any.
- the price of these masks are amazing. $3.99 for full bottle, $1.50 for packet
- what made me LOVE this is that I had a white head pimple on my upper lip that was brewing and getting worse, the next morning (today), not only did it shrink, but the redness is GONE. it's completely dried out and in the healing process with the help of nothing else but this mask!!! AMAZING. will be using this as a spot treatment when i need it. Not even my Origins clay mask gets rid of my pimples.
IM. SOLD. and you should be too. if you have an oily t-zone. you NEED this.

OMG I love this mask!! I bought it because they don't sell the Queen Helene mint julep mask in Canada or so I think. We have a target now but they don't carry it either (maybe in the future), so I tired maybe finding something similar and I saw all the good reviews here so I gave it a shot. Normally nothing that most people like work for me skincare wise. So I wasn't expecting much. I was really shocked how well it worked. My skin looks brighter and softer. I mainly was looking for something to help with black and white heads. Not really sure if it does help but my face does feel cleaner. I've only used it notice since i got it yesterday but I wanted to write a review right away because my face looks so dewy, bright and glowly after one use. I had trouble in that area, my face always looked so dull for so time now but I was more concerned with my white heads. I read some reviews that it helped with acne too. I'm really happy to read that, I was breaking out for a while but my acne was clearing up, I hope this mask helps with the remaining healing process because they are competely gone, just going away. I recommend this mask if your face isn't looking up to pare than it use too. I'm really loving it so far.
When I saw this I had to get it. ! Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere anymore. I got it from ulta but never saw it again. I have a lot left but if anyone knows please leave a comment ! Besides amazon... So this mask is amazing. I Lov lemon because it makes me look glowy lighter and brighter. Also I'm hoping the lemon might take away blemishes. I felt cleaner. Not sure if it helped with blackheads pores and acne but I have the mint julet masque for that... Def would but again if I can find it otherwise I might have to resort to scrubbing lemons on my face or use the juice which takes more effort id rather have a already made mask!

I LOVE THIS THING. I think it's waaayyy better then Queen Helene's mint julep mask! I used to use it as a full face mask, but now I'm just to lazy. xD
Now, I use it as a spot treatment! Once I feel a pimple coming or I have a pimple, I apply the mask on the pimple and the area around it and let it dry. Then I rinse it off and wash my face or that area with my Cetaphil cleanser. I do this before I go to bed. When I wake up, the pimples have either stopped growing, isn't irritated or it shrunk.

Excellent. I purchased this product before being exposed to another much more expansive mask (Skinceuticals Clay Mask) and can truthfully say I still enjoy using it. I see a marked difference in the clarity of my skin the next morning and if I have a breakout at the time it is reduced, The trick for me with masks is to use them only once a week otherwise my face becomes aggravated. I love the mint/lemon mask because it is cost effective, does not overdry my skin, smells good, and spreads well. I definitely prefer it over Queen Helene's.

After the terrible experience with Freeman Gogi Berry mask....i kinda scare with this one, since it contain mint and lemon which it can be irritating. But surprisingly im happy with it...i only use it once a week, after washing my face and toner. The scent is ok for me, normally i will apply it for 15-20 minutes even its not completely dry, my skin will get itchy if i wait longer.
The result is amazing, the face getting smoother and brighter after use, i will continue using this mask. My only problem is Freeman product is hard to find in Malaysia, onle Caring pharmacy carried it...Right now im just looking Freeman mask that moisturizing skin.

I've bought two of the little .5 fl oz packets because there isn't a store that carries the larger tube (near me) that this is also supposed to be available in. the scent doesn't really bother me and I'm very sensitive to things like that. I love how this makes my skin feel after I rinse it off. I usually try to do 3 masks a week and when I do I notice a huge difference in my skin. I've had acne since puberty and as I've gotten older it's gotten a little better. I really wish I could find the tube of this because I think that it would be an even better deal money wise. That being said I can usually get about 7-9 masks from the packet. I do notice a little stinging if I've done a scrub before the mask but it's not too bad.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
All I can say is... WOW.
After reading all the positive reviews here, I dashed off to purchase this mask and I am so pleased I did!
After cleansing and exfoliating first, I applied an even layer all over my face (avoiding the eye contour) and let it sit on my face for about 30 minutes. After this time it had turned hard (could barely move my face, haha) so I rinsed it off with luke-warm water and my skin looked AMAZING. It was almost as though I was wearing make-up - seriously.
It was glowing, smooth, all the usual T-Zone oil was gone, I had a rosy glow and my skin just looked radiant and healthy!! Possibly the best my skin has ever looked without make-up in my 27 years of life. I had no blemishes, but the few post-blemish red marks I did have look less red and obvious which is an added bonus! I am hoping this matte look sticks around for awhile! I really recommend this for oily or combo skin like mine. If you have dry skin I would stay away as it really did strip all the oil - great if you have too much (like I do) but would be too drying on already dry skin I'd imagine. Will definitely be using this once a week from now on. LOVE.

Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is south Georgia's largest health care provider and the area's largest employer. It's an indispensable asset to this community, but sometimes the hospital with a heart can be a bully.
Here's the latest example. Georgia is the only state in the country that doesn't recognize general surgeons as specialists.
The Department of Community Health decided to change that and give surgeons the right to open outpatient surgery centers. That would certainly give you more health care options, and it would likely save you money.
Phoebe doesn't care about that. Phoebe and the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals filed suit to prevent the change. They argue that under Georgia's complex Certificate of Need laws, the Department of Community Health doesn't have the power to allow surgeons to open their own centers.
Maybe that's a valid point, or maybe it's just a smokescreen. Phoebe and the community hospital alliance are trying to keep more money in their pockets at your expense. We'd like to see them drop their lawsuit.
The Department of Community Health got it right. It's time to bring Georgia in line with every other state in the country. General surgeons clearly are specialists. They deserve the right to open outpatient centers, and we deserve the right to have more health care choices.

Title: | PI3K signaling of autophagy is required for starvation tolerance and virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans. |

Cryptococcus neoformans |
Abstract: | Autophagy is a process by which cells recycle cytoplasm and defective organelles during stress situations such as nutrient starvation. It can also be used by host cells as an immune defense mechanism to eliminate infectious pathogens. Here we describe the use of autophagy as a survival mechanism and virulence-associated trait by the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. We report that a mutant form of C. neoformans lacking the Vps34 PI3K (vps34Delta), which is known to be involved in autophagy in ascomycete yeast, was defective in the formation of autophagy-related 8-labeled (Atg8-labeled) vesicles and showed a dramatic attenuation in virulence in mouse models of infection. In addition, autophagic vesicles were observed in WT but not vps34Delta cells after phagocytosis by a murine macrophage cell line, and Atg8 expression was exhibited in WT C. neoformans during human infection of brain. To dissect the contribution of defective autophagy in vps34Delta C. neoformans during pathogenesis, a strain of C. neoformans in which Atg8 expression was knocked down by RNA interference was constructed and these fungi also demonstrated markedly attenuated virulence in a mouse model of infection. These results demonstrated PI3K signaling and autophagy as a virulence-associated trait and survival mechanism during infection with a fungal pathogen. Moreover, the data show that molecular dissection of such pathogen stress-response pathways may identify new approaches for chemotherapeutic interventions. |

Cubs GM Theo Epstein, Indians' Terry Francona still quite a pair
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com March 3, 2013 7:34PM
Boston Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, left, and manager Terry Francona watch team practice at Fenway Park in Boston Thursday, Oct. 11, 2007, in preparation for Friday's Game 1 of the American League Championship Series baseball game against the Cleveland Indians. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
Article Extras
Updated: March 10, 2013 8:15PM
MESA, Ariz. — For the first time since he took control of the Cubs, president Theo Epstein will get some face time Monday with what might have been for this field staff — and, in some ways, what might yet be.
''We talked right before we got down here and said sometime in March we'll grab a beer,'' Epstein said of old friend Terry Francona, the first manager he hired.
Francona, who's about to start his first season as manager of the Cleveland Indians, will make his HoHoKam Stadium debut as a skipper when the Indians visit the Cubs on Monday.
The beer probably will have to wait until near the end of camp for Epstein and Francona, the Red Sox management team that broke the Curse of the Bambino in 2004 and backed it up with a second World Series title three years later.
But the memories and the visions for what comes next for each are sure to be part of the catching up.
Second-guessing and revisiting the conversations they had 17 months ago when Epstein was hired as Cubs president? Probably not so much.
''In eight years in Boston, we always had each other's back,'' Francona said. ''It doesn't mean you don't have disagreements. You always do. But we always had each other's back. When times were rough, I knew where to go. And he knew that.''
That's a big reason why Epstein and Francona talked in the fall of 2011 about going from Boston to Chicago as a package deal after their abrupt departures from Boston following the infamous collapse of the Red Sox that September.
''He and I talked about it,'' Epstein said. ''He didn't have to interview. I know everything he brings to the table as a manager. We had open discussions about whether it was the right time and the right fit."
In the end, setting up a Fenway Park West at Wrigley Field made little sense to either man, especially under the circumstances left behind in Boston and the task at hand in Chicago.
''I don't think the timing was right. I thought we needed to take a step back,'' Francona said. ''I think they were in a different place. But we talked about it, and it was a comfortable conversation.''
Ultimately, the way that conversation ended led Epstein toward the manager he seems confident can be the next version of Francona in Chicago.
''I think it ended up working out great with Dale [Sveum]. He was perfect for what we need,'' Epstein said of the manager he knew only as a tough-minded and tireless coach for those '04 champion Red Sox.
A season after hiring Sveum, Epstein lauds the way the first-year manager maintained the focus and work ethic of a 101-loss team in ugly transition. He says he sees him as the right guy to lead the team into contention over the next few years.
Even Francona, who spent last season as an ESPN analyst, said, ''I thought they got the right guy. . . . He was such a popular coach with the players. They loved him. He was the third-base coach and handled the defense, and he dove into that and just took it to another level.''
As for Francona, Epstein has one eye on the Indians these days — and a cold one on tap for old times.
''Tito got the benefit of a year, seeing the game from the broadcast booth, and got a year to recharge his batteries,'' Epstein said. ''And he's in an awesome situation now. I'm really happy for him.''
Said Francona, whose new job marks a return to a place where he once played and later worked in the front office: ''I'm thrilled with where I ended up.''
CUBS (SS) 4, ANGELS 2 BREWERS 4, CUBS (SS) 3 THE EDWIN SHOW: Right-hander Edwin Jackson, the Cubs' $52 million free agent who will open the season as the No. 2 starter, struggled with his command against the Brewers in his second spring start. He lasted only two innings before using up his pitch count. After retiring the first batter he faced, he gave up a single, a walk, a hit batsman and a walk to force in a run, then surrendered a run-scoring single before settling down. He walked another batter in the second, then air-mailed a throw into center field on a potential double-play comebacker before getting a double play out of the next batter. EYE ON THE FUTURE: With the Cubs' major-league starting-pitching depth spent with a month to go in spring training because of injuries to Matt Garza and Scott Baker, guys such as Class AAA starter Alberto Cabrera — who will start Monday against the Indians — figure to get closer looks, both as starting depth and as potential additions to a more fluid bullpen. ''All those things come into play now,'' manager Dale Sveum said. ''Obviously, there's more openings in the bullpen than there would have been without the injuries.'' BOGEY MAN: Keep an eye on former Astro Brian Bogusevic, who is flying under the radar as a non-roster invitee. When he homered and doubled against the Angels, it made him 7-for-12 this spring. ON DECK: vs. Indians, 2:05 p.m. (mlb.com), HoHoKam Stadium. Cabrera vs. Zach McAllister. Gordon Wittenmyer

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Rosslyn.
I appreciate your comments on my blog over the past several weeks. You've added depth to my life.

Product Features
whisper quiet
With various technologies to reduce irritating noise, SAMSUNG accomplished an amazing low noise level approximately half of that created by many alternative vacuum cleaners! With such a quiet designed sound level, you can now comfortably talk over the telephone or watch TV while vacuuming.
long lasting & strong power
If you can keep stronger power in your vacuum cleaner for a long time, you can vacuum your rooms more cleanly and easily. With separate chambers for dust collection as well as a dual filtration process, the result is minimal clogging of the pre-motor filter and long-lasting strong power.
The innovative Multi Chamber System™ accomplishes incredibly low vacuuming noise without losing long-lasting power. The system removes almost all of the dust contained in the vacuumed air keeping the exhaust air clean. Unlike conventional vacuum cleaners the pre-filter does not clog easily, lessening motor load to prolong the life time of the vacuum cleaner. The SC9580 will protect your family from harmful fine dust particles with the Multi Chamber System™.

Over the past few years, we've seen monstrous shifts in the way small businesses engage their customers, and with those shifts has come a new responsibility for owners: Director of Social Media.
Small business owners rarely get a break from the constant stress of being responsible for...well, everything. As an owner myself, I know what it's like to live and die by checklists and face the daily barrage that comes with being a small business owner.
So when the opportunity to outsource arises, it's important to consider all the options and risks in order to make a good judgment.
Should You Outsource Your Day-to-Day Social Media Management?
A lot of people will give an unequivocal "NO" when answering this, saying:
- No one knows your business as well as you do.
- No one is as passionate about serving your customers as you are.
- It's too risky to outsource your brand's image.
Those are respectable, sensible reasons for not supporting social media outsourcing. I would be a little more flexible with my answer.
My personal view is, "Outsource? Sure, kind of, under a few conditions."
I don't think outsourcing your social media management is inherently a bad choice, but the relationship with the agency you choose must be nearly perfect for the outsourcing to be effective.
In my opinion, the following are absolute minimum requirements before outsourcing to a social media agency:
- They should go out of their way to understand your business model, your customers, your overall marketing strategy, and your target market.
- They should be passionate about the mission and vision of your company -- the very purpose behind your business' existence.
- They should tour your business and meet your employees. They should meet your most loyal customers and/or clients if possible.
- They should become experts on your products, because people will inevitably ask questions on social media, and they'll expect fast, correct answers.
- They should LOVE your business and want it to succeed as badly as you do.
If you're considering outsourcing to an agency that shows little interest in any of those things, turn around and run. Fast.
Most importantly, you should approach outsourcing as a temporary engagement. The agency should be capable of training you how to properly manage social media internally.
Sure, you may keep them on retainer as consultants for handling problems or specific campaigns, but ultimately, the agency-business relationships should end with you and your employees having the ability to effectively manage your own social media.
What Questions Should You Ask Before Choosing Outsourcing?
So, you're entertaining the idea of outsourcing your social media. What questions should you ask yourself to decide if it's worth the time, money, and effort? Gotcha!
- Do I know anything about social media other than it's popular and consumers use it a lot?
- Do I have realistic expectations and goals for what social media can do for my business?
- Does my business have the tools and manpower (or womanpower!) to manage social media in-house?
- Is there anyone on staff with marketing experience, preferably digital marketing? Someone who isn't my part-time waitress or bartender.
- Would it make more sense to hire a part-time social media manager instead of outsourcing?
- Do I trust an outside entity to represent and promote my products and brand?
- Do I have time to learn and understand at least the basics of social media so I'm not blindly handing over the reins?
A Judgment Call on Your Part
Unfortunately, there's no right or wrong answer to the question of outsourcing social media management. As with anything, it depends on the current state of your business, your business model, your financial state, and how comfortable you are with the idea of not having full control of everything in your business.
Take a good, hard look at all the details that go into outsourcing social media management and, please, don't hire the first agency who sits down with you unless they've exceeded the requirements discussed above. You'll thank yourself later if you approach this very seriously!
What are your suggestions when it comes to outsourcing social media management? I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments!

Veteran Welsh lock Ian Gough has this week spoken out on his signing for Premiership club London Irish.
The 36-year-old, who won sixty-four caps for his country in an international career spanning eleven years, admits that he still feels nervous at joining his new club.
"It only feels like yesterday that I was making my first appearance alongside Muddy Waters," Gough told the Western Telegraph.
"And I may be nearly 18 years down the track but I am still trying to prove myself, I still have that mixture of excitement and nerves.
"I'm out of my comfort zone and I am thoroughly enjoying it."
Gough secured an early release from his Ospreys contract, and was close to returning to the Dragons - the side where he spent four years of his career.
"I was quite close to going back to the Dragons but it didn't come about," added Gough.
"I had a good chat with them about it but negotiations came to an end for one reason or another.
"But I knew after leaving the Ospreys that I wanted to continue and I am pleased to be with London Irish.
"I will assess things at the end of the season. If I feel good enough, I've still got the appetite and my form is good then who knows? But that's a long way off and I am just concentrating on this new challenge.
"I'm enjoying it so far and there are a lot of new things to learn after six years with the Ospreys, it's been intense both physically and mentally.
"It's an exciting challenge and I know that it's going to be tough - I look at the fixture list and it's Bath this weekend followed by Harlequins.
"One thing you are guaranteed in England is that you are going to be up against some big, physical packs."

Deborah Fitzgerald, dean of MIT's School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, opened the symposium with a statement of strong support for the program, which was using the event in particular to allow alumni to offer input on CMS's future following last year's departure of founding director Henry Jenkins.
Panelists discussed the role CMS has played in transforming humanities education, particularly through the concept of "applied humanities": ensuring that all research done at CMS has a real-world purpose and is tested outside of the walls of the academy.
Podcasts of the symposium panels are available at cms.mit.edu as well as talks by Dean Fitzgerald and CMS Director William Uricchio.
The CMS staff also took the anniversary as an opportunity to publish a lush history of the program, available both online and in print by request: CMS 10th Anniversary publication

This title in other editionsI Killed: True Stories of the Road from America's Top Comicsby Ritch Shydner and Mark Schiff
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The biggest names in standup comedy reveal the howlingly funny, completely shocking, and disturbingly bizarre moments they've experienced on the road.
Review:"Some of the funniest — and most outrageous — stories a comedian has don't get told onstage. They're passed around after hours and derive from the bizarre intersection of travel, intoxicants and the colorful characters on the fringes of the comedy world. (A little poverty can't hurt — the best stories from 'top comics' often come from the early days.) In this collection, Ron Shock tells of being goaded by outlaw comic Bill Hicks into dropping acid before a show, infuriating the audience and escaping just in time. Jay Leno recounts how he accidentally left a groupie tied to her bed overnight — and she loved it. Black comic Alonzo Bodden recalls ripping into a redneck from the stage and having audience members tell him later that his target ran the local Klan. Shydner, early in his career, performed regularly at a variety of bars around Washington, D.C., and found himself opening for a riled-up audience eager to see the Ramones. He suffered through a 'beer shower,' and one of the Ramones thought that was his act: human beer sponge. Jerry Seinfeld, in his foreword, calls comedy 'one of the Great Jobs'; this volume makes for excellent bathroom reading — and that's a compliment." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"I Killed is hilarious. It is also inspiring. If you are considering stand-up as a career, it will give you pause." New York Times

How fast do you guys normally ride on those type rides ? 50-60 ? I like being able to see the sights too
Hey Sweet Tooth, I am one of those that like to cruise between 50-60 so I can enjoy the ride and see the sights. On our roads if you run much over that, you take a chance on overshooting a curve (not much fun) or hitting wild life (also not much fun). If you come out my way, be glad to cruise with you.
