NetCents2 $1 billion small business contract awards protested
- Jill R. Aitoro
- Senior Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
Reston-based Ace Info Solutions Inc. has protested the award of a dozen small business contracts worth as much as $1 billion, one more set back for the Air Force in its effort to roll out the Network Centric Solutions-2 program.
Ace Info Solutions protested the award of 12 Application Services Small Business Companion contracts, announced June 22, which are the first of two sets of application services contracts that will be available for use by the Air Force. The other, still in the selection process, is a full and open competition among large companies. Winners of the small business set of contracts will be able to bid on task orders worth up to $960 million.
GAO officially opened the case Monday, though a source with inside knowledge of the contract awards said winners were notified by the Air Force of the protest last week.
Because the case had yet to be assigned to an attorney, GAO had limited information readily available on the grounds of the protest. Ace Info Solutions CEO Jay Challa, calling the protest "not a pleasant situation," also declined to provide specifics immediately, but said a redacted version of the protest was provided to other bidders. The company's attorney that filed the protest could not be immediately reached for comment.
Under this crop of NetCents2 awards, small businesses will be able to bid on up to $960 million in task orders during a three-year base ordering period and four one-year options. The information technology services available through the contract include sustainment, migration, integration, training, help desk support, testing and operational support.

Bio and Links
I have been involved in cemetery research since 2004, concentrating on old sites in Claiborne County, Mississippi. I love the peace and solitude that comes with surveying an old site and "discovering" whose name will be on the next stone. My goal is to put together a historical and geographical sketch of Claiborne County, based on cemetery locations, 1800's marriage records and will records. I get a thrill out of being able to put people in touch with their long-lost ancestors. I will always be happy to transfer any memorials to their relatives or other loved ones. And despite my e-mail address, I do NOT dig up bones!

I notice you took photo of cemetery but no markers from within.
The Freelands are my family. If you ever get that way again I would love some photos.

You are very welcome. I would have had no clue what the headstone said or where it was if I had not had the church's cemetery book. The stone is really worn.
I included the inscription from the church record with the photo.

I am researching the Lewis Family and wanted to know if you possibly knew James Walter Lewis Sr.'s first wife's name ? She would be the Mother to Oscar Earl, Gladys, Roy & Irene. I have not be able to find Irene past the 1900 Census when they were living with James Walter's brother
George Oscar Lewis. If you have information, would you share.

Milford crime goes to grand jury
MILFORD - Felony charges against Brianna Baglione, accused of knocking down a man in his home and stealing his prescription drugs, will now head to the grand jury after she waived her probable cause hearing in court Thursday.
Her alleged accomplice, Jeremy Trask, is scheduled for a probable cause hearing Friday.
Baglione, 19, and Trask, 24, both of 18 Foster Road, knew Maurice Guay Jr., the victim, and had been in his home Nov. 25, according to court documents. However, Guay grew concerned that Baglione and Trask wanted to steal from him, and he asked them to leave.
Around 7 p.m., Guay was sitting in a chair watching television when someone knocked on his door, the documents said. Because Guay has only one leg, he generally leaves his door open and called to whomever it was to "come in."
The knocking continued so he went to the door, and when he opened it, he was knocked to the ground. According to court documents, Guay's assailants pinned him down and covered his face with a towel and took pills from his pants pockets. During the altercation, according to court documents, Guay's dog, Cody, approached, and one of the assailants said, "Go away, Cody."
Guay told police that he recognized the voice as Baglione's. Guay was also able to identify Trask because he was wearing the same clothing he had been wearing earlier in the day, said the documents.

It doesn't matter if they shave you or not, you're still susceptible to the staph infection.
similar to the time we made up the game of screaming at the top of our lungs any time a guy any of us slept with walked into the party. that went over SO well.
the only reason he called me tonight was because I fertilized his crops on farmville.
My cardio has turned into running out of the cold from bar to bar.
how do i tell her that i need alcohol to fuck her but at the same time i cant get a hard on with alcohol.
So I'm probably the first guy in history to tap out of a blowjob.
it's too soon in the relationship to think about him when i masturbate. so i think about his dad instead.
After last night, I've decided I will now bang only men who professionally ride things for a living. I will accept jockeys, cowboys, bullriders, and pro bicyclists who lie and say they're bullriders.
Women are fucking wierd. I have forgotten this. Divorce papers should come with a handbook.
Just because you can put your penis in it does not make it "good stuff".
trying to figure out why the only thing in our freezer is an expired loaf of bread, a white t shirt, and a receipt from taco bell for 37.50 from last Friday
We play this game where we catch up on what we missed over five years of not talking to eachother, then we have sex like nothing ever happened.
it was like teleporting. everytime i opened my eyes, i was somewhere different... usually the floor.
You think he will forgive me for the paper being a week late if I bring him a beer?
why are there 3 differently sized panties on our kitchen counter?

About to Pop: Jason Derulo
By Adam Horne Posted Nov 12th 2009 05:00PM
Who: Jason Derulo
Album: 'The Whatcha Say EP'
Video: 'Whatcha Say'
Hails From: Miramar, Florida
For Fans Of: Ne-Yo, Chris Brown
Why He's About to Pop: With his debut single 'Whatcha Say' tearing up the charts, Jason Derulo's face may be new on the scene, but he's been a presence in the music world since he was twelve years old, writing songs for major artists like Diddy, Lil Wayne, Danity Kane and Sean Kingston (to name a few). Throughout those years, the multi-talented artist (he can sing, dance and act also) knew something was missing. "[Songwriting] wasn't my career path, that was not my choice. It kind of just fell in my lap and was lucrative so I went with the punches," he told PopEater during a recent office visit. "I wanted to express myself ... I didn't want to be the pen behind the voice."
This revelation was nothing new. Derulo had dreams of stardom by age five, when he started mimicking his hero, Michael Jackson. "[My mother] probably brushed it off a little bit like, 'Oh that's cute.' I would just be in front of the TV practicing every single dance move and singing all the songs for weeks at a time nonstop." Years of hard work and practice have paid off, as evident in the tracks Derulo let our staff preview during his office visit. Combining club-ready beats and clever samples with infectious melodies, Derulo is armed and ready to step out in the spotlight.

Seven Questions With Jason Derulo:
What inspired your single 'Whatcha Say'?
The first single is actually inspired by my brother. He came to me one day, actually called me on the phone and was like, "I cheated on my girl and she left me, but I know if she gave me one more shot I could really be that man that she needs me to be." He really convinced me so I told him, "Go tell her that, tell her just like you told me." I thought that story was just so compelling and so real and people go through that every single day.
How did the sample come about?
I'm the kinda guy that goes into the record store and just picks up any random CD just cause I've never heard of it before. And Imogen Heap is one of those people that I just picked up. And it's crazy how it happened because she was saying "ooh what you say, that you only meant well, of course you did" so it was like she was being sarcastic almost, like to kinda answer back. It just worked perfectly.
How does it feel to finally be the one singing your own songs?
It's incredible. I can't hear myself enough on the radio. People are like "Are you tired of 'Whatcha Say' yet?" I'm like, "No ... I'm not."
How did you and Kara DioGuardi get involved?
Kara DioGuardi from 'American Idol' actually brought my deal in to Warner Bros. She's like one of the biggest songwriters of our time -- she sold her catalog for 27 million or something like that. And you know, her being a songwriter, it definitely solidifies her as being credible in A&R, she doesn't try to pry in on my project and try to force her opinions on me. Just the fact that she trusts me enough to let me write my own music and not try to make me do anything that I don't wanna do is pretty incredible.
Can you tell us about the MTV movie you're working on?
I just finished shooting it about a month ago in Canada. I'm playing myself. The movie's called 'Turn the Beat Around.' It's going to be featured on MTV, it's a dance movie. I'm a big dancer. Basically the lead characters in the movie are trying to audition for my music video. My presence is really big in the movie.
You're an actor, singer and dancer. Do you have a favorite?
Actually it would be very equal. Acting maybe ... Actually, I was offered a part in 'Rent' on Broadway and I had to turn it down because it was a year commitment so it was either that or following the impossible dream, and I chose the impossible dream. At that point I hadn't even been courted by any labels or anything.
Who would be your dream collaboration?
My dream collaboration is with Madonna. I grew up listening to some Madonna because my mom likes her so much and she really has the career that I want for myself. I think it's incredible for someone to be able to reinvent themselves over and over again, and I think that's the most important thing, to be able to last.

Now this is a little gem in the centre of crazy busy London: the Zen garden on the roof of the Brunei Gallery at the SOAS campus. Not that you wouldn't be aware of the city around you; traffic noise is still audible up here, but I love the fact that a place for quiet contemplation has been created in the middle of Holborn.
Planting has been kept to a minimum [...] Various types of stone are used in the garden: a sweeping curve blends the original rectangular sandstone with the irregular green slate; the central area of raked silver grey granite chippings has regular slabs of basaltic rock alluding to a bridge over flowing water; the island stones in the gravel areas are Larvikite from Norway; dark grey pebbles from a contrast in colour and texture to the formal granite edging and to the chequerboard planting.
(from the SOAS website)
The Brunei Gallery itself is a unique little exhibition space. Whenever I have half an hour or so to spend in the area I go visiting on the off chance that something interesting is going on and so far I've never been disappointed. The concepts are unusual and often surprising: currently there is a photographic exhibition on Uyghur shrines in northwestern China on display and roughly a year ago they showed a fantastic collection of papers and textiles from all around the world.
The exhibitions are usually small so even with very little time at your hands it is well worth a visit. If you would like to spend more time at the gallery check out if they have any special events running. In any case: go and enjoy.

Rule 1 From the upcoming SAD GHOST CLUB handbook.
its like the entire beach was glowing
if a song was in shrek theres no way to un-associate it with shrek its forever going to be a shrek song
Matty Healy crying at Me - The 1975
this is from my video :'(((((( ugh ily
"The song recounts a specific sexual assault ("One of the most shattering experiences of my life," Grimes, who was born in Vancouver as Claire Boucher, told SPIN in 2012) by describing the psychic fallout: "And never walk about after dark/ It's my point of view/ Because someone could break your neck/ Coming up behind you always coming and you'd never have a clue," she lisps in her high, pinched voice. It's a dazzling, paralyzing performance, in part because Boucher sounds almost playful, and in part because the skronking behind her—the song's springy, propulsive synth line was one of 2012's most unforgettable—indicates something other than victimization. "See you on a dark night," Boucher repeats. […] But what "Oblivion" ultimately offers is victory. It's the sound of one woman turning personal devastation into not just a career-making single, but a lasting anthem of transformation."
this was a while ago now but we found a lake and flowers in the bushes and it was so pretty

Photos of David Beckham After Getting Matching Haircuts With Cruz, Romeo, Brooklyn
Unapologetic David Brings His Sons For Beckham Boys' Day
With Victoria shooting her commercial in London, David Beckham had their three sons to himself back in LA yesterday. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz headed out shopping with their dad, picking up some goodies at The Grove. They even made time to stop for haircuts where David and Cruz got matching mohawks — too cute. While Becks seems all heart when he's with his boys, he's not about to apologize for an altercation with an angry fan at the Galaxy game earlier this week. He said, "It's not a setback for myself. It's other people that have to change. It's not about whether I can move on. I wasn't the one booing. I don't like my son seeing that and hearing that. From an organized group of fans, I think it was disrespectful." David's soccer drama doesn't affect how most of you feel about him, but it sounds like he'd rather make sure his young kids aren't drawn into any ugliness.
To see lots more of Becks and his boys just read more.

Hi: 19° Lo:11°
By Beth Sharp Wednesday 09 April 2014 Updated: 11/04 20:13
THE RSPCA has welcomed the sentence handed out to a Bromsgrove man who was convicted of two animal welfare charges.
Derek Thomas Monkton, of Broad Street, was found guilty of breaching an animal disqualification order and for failing to ensure the welfare of a dog he was responsible for at Redditch Magistrates Court.
The 69-year-old was convicted of having two greyhounds between January 29, 2013, and February 26, 2013, despite being disqualified from owning animals for life back in 2005.
The second charge was for failing to take the necessary steps to explore, address and protect a greyhound, called Gypsy, from the pain caused from dental disease, between January 29, 2013 and February 26, 2013.
RSPCA inspector Adrian Langley said: "He failed to get treatment for Gypsy's teeth and it caused her pain and suffering.
"Sadly all of Gypsy's teeth had deteriorated so badly due to the thick build-up of tartar they were not salvageable and had to be removed by the vet.
"Thankfully Gypsy has now been rehomed and is thriving with her new family."
Monkton was banned from owning any domestic animals, horses and ponies for life and was handed two 12-week suspended sentences, for each charge, which will run concurrently for the next two years.
He was also ordered to pay £2,090.
"We are pleased with the result at court especially as this man was a repeat offender.
"People who receive a lifetime ban and ignore it do so at their peril," added Mr Langley.
Following the verdict, Mr Monkton claimed he was allowed to own animals up until March 26, the day of the case, because he had a resident keeper for the animals living with him.
He said the greyhound was 14 years old and claimed he had not taken the dog to the vets because she was still eating solid food, not suffering and would need been anaethetised in order to have her teeth treated and at her age it was too much of a risk.

The Norwood High School Council is looking for a new member.Due to his daughter's graduation in June, Jack McCarthy's final meeting will be in September, meaning the school is looking for another Norwood High parent to join.
When you step into Jackie Mann's office, the first thing you might notice is a white rocking chair that says "Mrs. Mann Rocks."
Only four neighbors showed up at a community meeting to discuss two night games at Norwood High."It's indicative of what we're doing, hopefully," Norwood High principal George Usevich said.
With about three weeks until 30 kids arrive in Norwood as part of an international exchange, program coordinators are still in need of a place to house most of them.
email@example.com the class sang "Humpty Dumpty," Joe Kowalski leapt into the Father Mac's swimming pool, where his father, Matt, was waiting to catch him.
Lightning didn't strike, and no one shouted "It's alive! It's alive!"However, between flying Ping Pong balls, color-changing water and smoking dry ice, there was a lot of mad science going on at the Morrill Memorial Library.
As the role of the school principal evolves, fewer administrators are staying on the job for the long haul.
There is a new face in the Norwood High athletic department.Jon Longley is the new athletic director in Norwood. He recently took over for the retired Brian McDonough.
Norwood High aims to create students of the world through its new Global Citizenship program.
Most students might not sign up for extra schoolwork, but the 30 Coakley Middle School students in the SEARCH program did just that.

Easy Riding
Three Bikes to Learn On: 1. Ducati Monster 696
A Ducati as a first bike sounds about as practical as taking your toddler to Everest to learn to walk, but the Ferrari of motorcycles somehow made their race-proven engineering accessible without dumbing it down. The 696 is basically a gateway drug for superbikes, and Ducati is serious about appealing to beginners: This year they lowered the seat for a more natural riding position, shaved off a few pounds, and put replaceable polymer covers over the tank, which you'll appreciate when you accidently drop the bike in a parking lot—something that occurs exclusively in front of gathered crowds and attractive women.

Barefoot Bloggers Bonus Recipes--Mini Orange Chocolate Chunk Cakes and Chive Risotto Cakes
Posted Nov 20 2008 12:00am
This month there are not one but two
bonus recipes to post in addition to our regularly scheduled posts and they are both "cakes". So let the fun begin!
Our first recipe is Mini Orange Chocolate Chunk Cakes, from selected by Lisa from
Lime in the Coconut
who created our great new Barefoot Bloggers avatar. (S
ee it on the side of the page!
) Being able to both cook and design graphics well--I am envious! Lisa picked a recipe that I doubt I ever would have tried with these mini cakes. I have never been a big chocolate-orange combo fan. I always thought that those fall apart chocolate oranges you see at Christmas were cool because of the segments but I never liked to eat them. But this is Barefoot Bloggers, I vowed to make all the recipes and Ina has not let me down yet so I blindly went ahead. I say blindly because it probably would have made my life easier to read the recipe ahead of time and read it again carefully while cooking. I think I just kind of glanced at it quickly. Actually reading it would have meant that I had all the ingredients, like say buttermilk. Luckily, you can make your own with milk and lemon juice. It also would have made me notice I needed to make syrup and brush the warm cakes with it before I had to go back and do the process. Regardless of my disarray and discombobulation on this one, this is a very forgiving recipe and my cakes turned out pretty well.
Mini Orange Chocolate Chunk Cakes
Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa Parties
1/4 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1/8 cup grated orange zest (
2 large oranges
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 ounces buttermilk at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup good semisweet chocolate chunks
For the syrup:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
For the ganache
4 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 6 individual serving baking molds, such as the flexible non stick 100 percent silicone molds. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, then the orange zest. Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the orange juice, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately in thirds to the creamed butter, beginning and ending with the flour. Toss the chocolate chunks with 1 tablespoon flour and add to the batter. Pour into the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the molds on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the syrup. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the sugar with the orange juice until the sugar dissolves. Remove the cake from the pans, put them on a rack over a tray, and spoon the orange syrup over the cakes. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
For the ganache, melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally. Drizzle over the top of the cakes.
Not having mini pans (
and NOT being a baker so why go buy them?
), I decided to make these into cupcakes (
Thanks to Anne Strawberry who mentioned the idea on musings
). Cupcakes always taste better than a big cake to me and are easier to give away. I also decided to swirl the cupcake tops into the ganache rather than drizzle it--easier. These are really good. I guess I thought it was chocolate cake (
again a reason to READ the recipe
) but the orange cake studded with the chocolate chips was delicious. I had a lot of ganache so I did what anyone with extra ganache should--made truffles. Some with a green tea cocoa powder mixture and some with a curry cocoa powder mixture too. Yum!
I gave the cupcakes out to some co-workers who really liked them. Thanks Lisa for a great pick and a wonderful avatar!
Our next recipe pick is from...Me! Although not talented in design like Lisa, apparently I had the most links to the Barefoot Bloggers site from my blog this month. I feel a bit guilty because I just picked a recipe last month, but not guilty enough not to pick the first recipe I marked as soon as I bought Ina's new book,
, Chive-Risotto Cakes. They looked like a small slice of heaven although how they ended up in the vegetables section of the cookbook is interesting. (
Are chives Ina's vegetable like mint is Paula Deans?
Chive-Risotto Cakes
Back to Basics, Ina Garten
Ina says:
" I used to have to wait until I made risotto in order to make risotto cakes from the leftovers. So I decided to do a recipe for risotto cakes that I make from scratch. Most of this can be assembled early in the day and then sauteed just before dinner. The yogurt, chives, and Italian Fontina give these a delicious creamy interior, and the panko gives them a wonderful crunchy crust."
Kosher salt
1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 ½ cup cups grated Italian Fontina cheese (
5 ounces
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¾ cup panko (
Japanese dried bread flakes
Good olive oil
Bring a large (
4 quart
) pot of water to a boil and add ½ tablespoon salt and the Arborio rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. The grains of rice will be quite soft. Drain the rice in a sieve and run under cold water until cool. Drain well. Meanwhile, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, chives, Fontina, 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, and the pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cooled rice and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, until firm.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Spread the panko in a shallow dish. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Form balls of the rice mixture using a standard (
2 1/4 –inch
) ice cream scoop or a large spoon. Pat the balls into patties 3 inches in diameter and ¾ inch thick. Place 4-6 patties in the panko, turning once to coat. Place the patties in the hot oil and cook, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side until the risotto cakes are crisp and nicely browned. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Continue cooking in batches, adding oil as necessary, until all the cakes are fried. Serve hot.
I guess some of the BBs had trouble with these cakes staying together but I got lucky after my first two "test cakes" and the rest came together nicely. I mixed it up the night before and fried them the next day which may have helped. Also Natashya mentioned she used a higher heat and plenty of oil and I did the same. A long flexible spatula and making them 3-4 at a time also helped. These are REALLY good. The taste, the texture--very decadent. I served them simply, on top of a salad of local greens and a little bit of asparagus with lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Lots leftovers (
I got 14 out of it
) for lunch and I reheated and fed them to a friend with dinner and they were still tasty. It would be fun to experiment with different cheeses in these.
Once more two great Ina recipes. These are optional so not all Barefoot Bloggers may do one or both of them but you can check out the ones that did
. You can join us there too and maybe I'll get to pick another recipe! ;-)

Oil prices rise after Chinese data shows higher growth
December 10, 2012 - 09:44 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The price of oil rose Monday, Dec 10, after Chinese data showed higher growth in electricity consumption and industrial production, The Associated Press reported.
Benchmark crude for January delivery was up 23 cents to $86.16 at midday Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 33 cents to finish at $85.93 per barrel on Friday.
Signs that China's economy is recovering from a slowdown suggest there will be an increase in demand for energy to fuel its manufacturing industries.
The Chinese government reported Sunday that factory output increased 10.1 percent from a year earlier, compared to the previous month's rise of 9.6 percent year-on-year. Retail sales rose 14.9 percent, up from October's 14.5 percent.
Electricity consumption rose 7.9 percent in November from 6.4 percent in October, according to Natalie Rampono, a commodities analyst with ANZ Banking Group in Melbourne.
Analysts were still assessing Chinese trade data released earlier Monday that showed export growth declining and imports at a standstill.
"Markets were expecting improvement in imports in crude," Rampono said. "That was the expectation. That imports had increased in November."
Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, rose 21 cents to $107.23 per barrel, on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

Demos push for jobless benefits, issue is 'the real cliff,' Senator says
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Hovering in the background of the "fiscal cliff" debate is the prospect of 2 million people losing their unemployment benefits four days after Christmas.
"This is the real cliff," said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I. He's been leading the effort to include another extension of benefits for the long-term unemployed in any deal to avert looming tax increases and massive spending cuts in January.
"Many of these people are struggling to pay mortgages, to provide education for their children," Reed said last week as President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, rejected each other's opening offers for a deficit deal.
Emergency jobless benefits for about 2.1 million people out of work more than six months will cease Dec. 29, and 1 million more will lose them over the next three months if Congress doesn't extend the assistance again.
Since the collapse of the economy in 2008, the government has poured $520 billion — an amount equal to about half its annual deficit in recent years — into unemployment benefit extensions.
White House officials have assured Democrats that Obama is committed to extending them another year, at a cost of about $30 billion, as part of an agreement for sidestepping the fiscal cliff and reducing the size of annual increases in the federal debt.
"The White House has made it clear that it wants an extension," said Michigan Rep. Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee.
Republicans have been relatively quiet on the issue lately. They demanded and won savings elsewhere to offset the cost of this year's extension, requiring the government to sell some of its broadcasting airwaves and making newly hired federal workers contribute more toward their pensions.
Boehner did not include jobless benefits in his counteroffer response this past week to Obama's call for $1.6 trillion in new taxes over the next decade, including raising the top marginal rates for the highest-paid 2 percent.
About 5 million people, or 40 percent of the unemployed, have been out of work for six months or more, according to the Bureau of labor Statistics.

Using Social to Drive Customer Traffic: 10 Tips For Using Foursquare and Facebook Deals
Posted on July 22nd 2012
As I work with small businesses, the ultimate goal is simple: drive traffic through their doors. Yes, things like brand awareness are important, but ultimately, you need customers to come through the doors and make purchases.
With that in mind, I think it's time to revisit the concept of location based services and checking in, specifically with Foursquare and Facebook Check-ins and Deals. Unfortunately, Foursquare went like gangbusters early on, but by the time it matured, a lot of folks weren't paying attention. Now it's time for small businesses to take a long hard look at using both of these services as a way of driving customer traffic.
Since most small business that are using social media are using Facebook as part of that mix, creating check-in deals on that platform is almost a no-brainer. With Facebook, you can only offer one deal at a time, but they give you options for four different types of deals.
Each of these four types of deals has it's own purpose and benefits, plus you can customize the deals in a variety of ways, including limiting the number of people that can cash in on the deal, as well as setting a time frame and expiration date.
With Foursquare, and its new interface, you can offer multiple deals at a time, to take advantage of the different types of customers and their purchasing habits all at the same time.
Earlier this week Gini Dietrich did a great job of summing up some great ways that you can be using Foursquare (and they apply to Facebook as well), but here are some other key elements to running a successful location based check in campaign.
1. Think mobile – remember, these deals only exist for those who are using smart phones and mobile devices. But with the rapid adoption rate of mobile technology, we are now at a tipping point for mobile Internet usage overtaking stationary Internet usage. Take advantage of your customers being on the go and making last minute decisions.
2. Entice new customers – Both Facebook and Foursquare are great for offering rewards, but one thing all businesses want are new customers. The right deal for first time check ins could bring new people through the door to check you out and sample what you have to offer. I'd suggest making that deal for first time visitors something that really helps them get to know you better, perhaps a discount on your signature product, or even free if it's not too expensive of an item.
3. Reward loyalty – Too often small businesses focus their marketing and advertising efforts on new customer acquisition, and too often social contests are designed to reward new people. The problem with this is that you never want to forget your loyal customers who have been with your over the years, and come in regularly. They are the keys to your word of mouth marketing, so make sure you offer something special for them. Perhaps it's special rewards for a certain number of check-ins over time, or something unique for the "Mayor" on Foursquare to promote some healthy competition.
4. Offer Multiple deals at once -Since you have the option of one deal on Facebook at a time, and multiple deals on Foursquare, I would say offer a variety of deals at the same time, some for new customers, some for repeat customers, and perhaps something for your hardcore fans. This way there is something for everyone, and you can treat each deal as an experiment to find out what works and what doesn't.
5. Mix it up – There might be some deals you want to offer over time, but I think it's best, especially with Facebook, if you offer them for a limited time, perhaps monthly, and change both the reward and the requirements (i.e. number of check ins). Remember, not all of your customers are usually there for the same things. We all have our preferences within the scope of what you offer as products or services, so make sure you switch it up from time to time. Besides, we get bored easily; we like variety
6. Choose your rewards carefully – This is really important. Whatever you offer, whether it be a discount or some sort of merchandise, it needs to be something that makes people want to check in. If the reward is too small, no one will come to your business to claim it. And yet, while it needs to be of great enough value to attract customers and check ins, make sure it isn't too big of a reward. You certainly don't want to break the bank and lose too much money on the deal. In some cases you might not mind losing some money on a short term deal, if you know the long term payoff will be greater in terms of future purchases, but in general, find the right balance that works for you and your customers.
7. Be strategic – Have a plan. I just spent a few hours with a client mapping out a strategy for this in order to do it right, and we're not done yet. But by planning it out, you minimize risk while maximizing the return. Don't just slap an offer together and throw it out there.
8. Promote, promote, promote – I can't stress this enough: it doesn't do you any good if you offer great deals but don't tell anyone about it. If you us any sort of traditional media to promote your business, why not promote the check in deals that way. If I'm putting an ad in a magazine or newspaper, you better believe I'll mention our check in deals as an incentive to come in.
9. Just ask! – Since location based marketing is still new to a lot of people, it hasn't become second nature for them. As a result, we need to educate our customers as to what these platforms are, how they work, and what the benefits are of checking in. I'm working with several clients right now to use signage reminding people to check in. This is a perfect place for a QR code because these check ins are done via mobile devices anyway.
10. Inform your staff – Don't create deals without letting everyone know internally. You don't want your staff to be caught off guard when someone tries to claim a reward, and you also want them to be able to explain the deals to people, as well as talk them up. Your staff can encourage people to check in to take advantage of the deals. Remember, checking in is a new and learned behavior. We need to get people in the habit of doing this.
And of course, have fun! By encouraging people to check in, and making them want to check in, you're taking advantage of their social graph and the viral nature of those platforms. When they check in, their friends might just see it.
Some good points. If you would, let me share some experiences my clients have had.
#8 Promote, promote, promote.
Print and in-house promotion of check-ins work and are important.
A client of mine typically promotes their check-in deals on their front door (and in other ways as well.) I provide the signage for them to do the front door and I can always tell when the signage is missing as check-ins drop.
#2 & #3 Entice and build loyalty.
Structure check ins to build loyalty as well as initial purchases.
A local restaurant that is not a client of mine has a fantastic and way too generous"Newbie" speicial which I was happy to take advantage of. The second time I went there I checked in expecting to find a check in but didn't. They ONLY offer the over the top intitial Newbie special. I felt let down and being disappointed I don't bother to check in there anymore. It was a good part of the reason I went back.
