If you decide to build your own full time inhouse team for your business to implement your internet marketing activities, then it is important for you to be able to calculate the real cost of employees when hiring.
Most business owners make the mistake of leaving out a lot of costs that should be taken into account.
23 Employee Expenses – True Cost Of Employees In Internet Marketing
That's just the employee costs. Apart from that, there are other costs that are missed by business owners.
So, taking into account all of the costs, how does one know the real cost of recruiting employees for your own online marketing team?
There is no accurate standard formula for calculating the total cost of an employee across industries. That number is affected by too many factors (type of job, location, industry, and the perks the companies offer) for anyone to come out and forecast it with accuracy.
However, experienced recruiters would suggest business owners to expect employees to cost 25-30% more than their base salary annually.
Some startup entrepreneurs say that it costs them about $250-300 per month to cover all of the overheads for each employee. This seems to be standard across the startup world.
Estimates also range from 1.5 to 3 times the salary for the final cost of an employee.
Therefore, while adding an employee might cost you only $30,000 in salary, the additional costs to the business might be $90,000.
According to the DOL (Department of Labor), an average employee costs $25.93 per hour when you factor in costs of salaries, benefits, and taxes. This is the real employee cost after you factor in a multiplier for non-salary costs:
|Employee Cost
|Salary of $50K
|Salary of $100K
|0.2 – 0.4
|$10,000 – 20,000
|$20,000 – 40,000
|Rent, Equipment, Training, Etc.
|0.5 – 1.3
|$25,000 – 65,000
|$50,000 – 130,000
|1.7 – 2.7
|$85,000 – 135,000
|$170,000 – 270,000
In the UK, it is estimated that the cost of a vacancy being filled is between £4333 and £7750 on average (2007)

Wright State's Men's Basketball team notched their eighth Horizon League victory of the season Friday night and kept hope alive for a third place finish and first round bye in the league tournament; one with a coveted NCAA Tournament berth awaiting the champion. It was a unique game with a 10 EST tip time on ESPNU, one which saw the Raiders hold on for a 65-61 victory over Detroit (13-16, 6-8) in front of 5,042 at the Nutter Center.
The home team struggled early offensively, missing its first eight attempts from the field, the first made Raider field goal coming on a Reggie Arceneaux three nearly nine minutes into the first half. Arceneuax would bury another three on the next posession to make it 14-12, Detroit. The Titans largest lead of the first half was nine, and they took a 30-29 advantage into the locker room.
The Raiders would come out slow to begin the second half, falling behind 35-31 before responding with a 16-4 run, 10 of which came from senior Matt Vest. Wright State earned their first lead of the game with 14:32 remaining on a Vest three-pointer and would not give it up the rest of the way.
Detroit would pull within 2 on a tip-in with one second on the clock, followed by a Carlton Brundidge foul, which was initially thought to be after the final buzzer sounded.
Seven tenths of a second would be put back on the clock and Reggie Arceneaux doubled the margin of victory at the free throw line, as spectators were already headed for the exits just past midnight.
The Raiders shot 40% for the game, including 44% from three point range, but were outscored 28-10 in the paint. Detroit also held a sizeable advantage in second chance points, 24-5, as they collected 17 offensive rebounds.
AJ Pacher led WSU scorers with 19, while Vest had 16 and Arceneaux contributed 15 off the bench. Evan Bruinsma paced Detroit with 19 points and 12 rebounds, with Juwan Howard Jr. adding 16 points.
Jerran Young:
Wright State high flyer Jerran Young was in street clothes Friday night and is undecided for Tuesday's matchup, though he says he will play.
A Look Ahead:
The Raiders (16-13, 8-6) enter the final week of the regular season looking to complete the sweeps of both Valparaiso (17-12, 9-5) and UIC (5-23, 0-14). The Crusaders come to the Nutter Center for a 7 EST tip Tuesday (ESPN3), Wright State's Senior Night. The regular season finale will be in Chicago on Saturday as the Raiders play UIC at 2 EST (Horizon League Network).

Update: Colin Campbell confirms e-mails that call Marc Savard 'faker' to TSN
|11.15.10 at 12:16 pm ET
[UPDATE: 4:27] NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell confirmed and responded to the leaking of e-mails that have put him in an unflattering light.
Tyler Dellow, an Oilers blogger, on Sunday posted what he says were some of Campbell's e-mails. (The link appeared to be dead by midday Monday). After doing a little detective work, Dellow determined a bias for Campbell's son, Gregory Campbell, and a bias against others, namely Marc Savard.
Here's an e-mail to former director of officiating Stephen Walkom sent in February of 2007 regarding then-referee Dean Warren:
To Stephen Walkom/Tor/NHL@NHL
Subject Re: Delayed Penalties/High Sticks 02/#/2007 4:24 pm
A bend in the road is a dead end if you round the corner and Dean Warren is standing there. Your answer re: his high stick calls and the score of the game were horse [manure]. The 3rd call on [player] was while they were down 5 on 4 and on a def zone face off vs that little fake artist [player] I had him in [city] biggest faker going. And Warren fell for it when he grabbed his face on a face off. Your supposed to see the act, not call the embellishing act. Dean Warren has to go with [referee] There must be a way to get rid of this guy. Is there a way we can tract sic and total minors called by referees this year. We could then get the minors they call per game. … or with 2 [referees on the ice] it is impossible? Warren and [referee] out of [team's] games. Give them to [referees].
Thanks to Dellow's investigative work, the only Warren-reffed game in February of 2007 in which a player had three high-sticking penalties was on the 24th, a game between the Panthers and the Bruins. Gregory Campbell was called for the high-sticking, and Savard drew the call that Colin Campbell seemed to particularly take umbrage with. The "biggest faker going" remark seems to apply to Savard, given that by saying "I had him in [city]," he appears to be referring to New York, where Savard played while Campbell was an assistant coach.
Campbell spoke to TSN on Monday regarding the matter, but commented only on emails sent to Walkom regarding a tripping call on Gregory in a different game.
"For me, it's much ado about nothing," Campbell told TSN. "Stephen and I would have banter back and forth and Stephen knows I'm a (hockey) dad venting and both of us knowing it wouldn't go any further than that. Stephen would laugh at me. The game in question (when Gregory Campbell was penalized late in the Atlanta-Florida game) wasn't on TV and I was asking Stephen to find out for me if it was a soft call. That's all there ever was to it. The (refs) working that game are still in the league, aren't they? Stephen handled the officials, just like Terry Gregson does now, and I've got a lot of emails to those guys asking about this soft call or that soft call and that's in a lot of games. I'm not ultimately responsible for the (on-ice) officials, that's Terry Gregson's responsibility, but I have to answer to GMs on these calls."
Campbell famously chose against throwing the book at Matt Cooke when he delivered a blindside hit to the head of Savard last season. If one wanted to draw a connection between what the e-mails allege and the lack of punishment on Cooke, they would appear to have a case, depending on the authenticity of the e-mails.
The Bruins politely informed media on Monday that Gregory Campbell, who of course now plays for Boston, would not be taking questions about his father. The league, however, did offer a comment to TSN later in the day.
"Any suggestion that Colin Campbell performs his job with any less than 100 percent integrity at all times and in every decision he makes is way off base and just factually wrong," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. "Because of the potential for a conflict of interest, or more importantly a perceived conflict of interest, the League has implemented various structural protections that prohibit Colie from having any oversight or disciplinary authority relating to any game in which his son, Gregory, plays. Its always fair to question and criticize League decisions as being wrong, but not on the basis that they aren't justly and fairly arrived at."

Subject: How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Wealth Ceiling
Hi Friend
Did you know there is a "glass ceiling" stopping you from achieving the wealth you desire and deserve?
I am sure you are very talented, and work very hard, yet there seems to be something out there keeping what you truly desire just beyond your reach.
But unlike the glass ceiling still unfortunately and unfairly faced by many women and minorities who want to progress in their career, this one was not created externally. It is not something you can blame on anyone else. It is YOU who has created this glass ceiling, and it is only YOU who can smash it so you can keep on moving upwards!
You need to smash that glass ceiling in order to claim what really should be yours, but you don't have to tackle this task alone. Margaret M Lynch, feted by The Wall Street Journal as THE Wealth Manifestation Authority, has produced a FREE video which will show you the one thing that is stopping you from getting the income and wealth you truly desire.
Watch her video now and find out how you too, like so many before, can smash through the glass ceiling and claim your fair reward:
==> "Smash the Glass Ceiling!"
Kind regards

The waterproof pocket sized shockproof camera to beat!- 2014
After first trying out the GoPro Hero 3 BE and Nikon AW120 I took the leap and purchased the Olympic Tough TG-3. Best camera purchase I have been in the last five years! It is very well made from the front to back. The menu is user friendly and it is very durable. The microscope mode on this camera combined with waterproof, shockproof, and freeze proof features along with LED ring, wide, and telephoto lens plus wifi app makes this camera an outdoorsmen's must have. I use this for hiking, ...
TG-3 Italy trip
I decided to get a bridge camera between my iPhone and Cannon Rebel EOS and after a lot of research, decided on the TG-3. Took it on a two week trip to Italy and loved this camera. It is stylish, well made and has great photo features. Well worth the price and is now my go to camera. Get it, you'll be glad you did
Questions & Answers
Problem connecting TG-3 to iPhone 4S
I run into a problem when trying to connect my TG-3 to my iPhone 4S. I start Wifi on the camera. Then I launch the OI.Share app on my iPhone 4S. I use the app's QR scanner, which confirms that the wifi settings have been scanned and shows the SSID and Password. It says to "Install Profile." I tap the "Install" button. It opens Safari and redirects to an "Install Profile" section in Settings and shows the profile that says in red type "Unsigned". There is an Install button, so I tap it. It says "Unsigned Profile. Installing this profile will change settings on your iPhone." I tap "Install Now". It wants a 4 digit passcode. Where do I get the passcode?!?
I believe the passcode is the same as you use to access your iPhone 4S. I was able to get past the passcode step, but my iPhone 4 (not S version) cannot find the camera WiFi. Is there a way to test if the camera WiFi is working? It is a few weeks old and shows as being on, but the phone never finds it. Also, a tip for iPhone 4 (not S) users is that the phone camera cannot focus close enough to the camera to read the OR code. I was able to take a photo of the OR code with another camera and put it up on a computer screen with larger size and then then my iPhone could read it OK. Continue Reading
My response to this posting (not published yet) included that I could not get my own WiFi connection to work with an iPhone 4. I since found out why. My phone was already connected to my home WiFi and I had to go to the settings to select the camera WiFi. It would be good if that instruction was included with the camera-phone setup. Continue Reading
I keep forgetting this step, too. You do have to manually change the WiFi on the iPhone settings to the TG3 Wifi before it will work. Continue Reading
Nikon 1 AW1 vs Olympus Tough tg-3
Hey all! I'm an Aussie about to embark on the trip of a lifetime - heading to Canada for a year, and then who knows where after that? Possiblities include a road trip through USA, a good 6 months travelling through Eastern Europe, a good 6 months travelling through Central America or all of the above! I currently have a nikon D610, with 50mm f1.8, 16-35mm f4, and a 70-200mm f2.8. About to purchase a sb-700 speedlite, and already have a lightweight tripod. I feel pretty comfortable with these lenses, and although the whole kit is heavy I am a fit, young chappy who is happy enough to carry this gear around. (mini side question - I assume that gear will be OK in the snow assuming I am careful with it??) I also have an olympus e-pm1 with underwater housing and a strobe. I'll be selling this, as it's far too bulky to take all that kit with me, but I want to replace it with a camera that will be mainly for underwater use (snorkelling and shallow dives, once I get deep enough to ...
IMHO - AW1 hands down. The AW1 is, a the moment, arguably the best all weather camera on the market. Snorkeling? AF speed means you'll get the shot. Built in flash should you need it & the 11-27.5 lens is very good. I often reach for the AW1 out of a group of D7100, V3, & V1 simply because it can handle it all. Pool, beach, rain, bumps & bruises = it's good to go. Example - I was in Portland Maine last week - it was raining & all the other tourists were trying to take pictures & keep the camera under cover...........not me, just left it hanging on the sling = no worries. Continue Reading
I have both. The AW1 is far superior to the TG-3 in terms of focus speed and accuracy, dynamic range, low contrast detail. However, my AW1 has leaked twice. Both times water entered through the front of the 11-27.5 lens. Both times after fewer than half a dozen snorkel or dive outings. First time I thought it might have been due to my less than fanatic attention to post-dive rinse procedures. Second time I was fanatic about post-dive care, and the thing still leaked. Nikon has cheerfully replaced the lens twice now (the original body has never gotten any water damage inside, and seems to be watertight), but I'm kind of apprehensive about diving with the AW1 anymore. The TG-3 (and the TG-1 that it replaced) has been bulletproof over many snorkel and dive outings, so, despite its poorer photographic performance has become my go-to underwater camera. I reserve the AW1 for special occasions and have purchased flood insurance for it. Frustrating. Continue Reading
And to counter Peter's experience mine has lived in the pool & the ocean with no issues???? (knock on wood). Not to minimize his issues, if it leaks you're screwed & two bad lenses doesn't bode well. Continue Reading
What is the best Aspect Ratio to use for the TG3
What is the best Aspect Ratio to use for the TG3, 3.2 or 4.3 ?
I don't think there's a "best". It's what you want the picture to look like. You can always crop in post processing. I usually take the maximum size 4:3 picture and use a large SD card (and accept filling up hard drive space faster) but it gives more options for enlargements and cropping. Personally, I think my favorite non-4:3 aspect is the 1:1, but I rarely use it. Continue Reading
I have the XZ-2 and found that the 4:3 aspect ration actually captures more area. The resulting image can be cropped after the fact down to 3:2 if I desire. Conversely, setting the camera to 3:2 and taking a photo just seems to auto crop in camera some off the top and some off the bottom. Maybe the native aspect of the sensor is 4:3? Continue Reading
IMO, the best aspect ratio is the one that fills the LCD completely so you can make full use of the LCD. I'm not sure about TG3's RAW capability. With my XZ-1, I shoot in 3:2 and if necessary, I will recover the 4:3 image from RAW. Continue Reading

Nearly a week after a complete meltdown at the hands of arguably the worst team in the NFL, the Tennessee Titans beat a different division rival to keep their dreams of a playoff berth afloat. Mike Munchak told his team to forget about last week's loss, and they listened. Although it wasn't as pretty or as dominant as many would've liked, a win at this point of the season will be taken with open arms.
Matt Hasselbeck came back to life against a battered Jaguars secondary, and so did the offensive play calling. Last week's game featured an extremely conservative plan that inevitably came back to haunt them. This game had no such thing. Hasselbeck took his shots downfield, with many going to tight end Jared Cook.
Cook has been a model of inconsistency ever since the Titans traded up for him in the third round of the 2009 NFL Draft. Toward the end of last year he showed glimpses of ability, and today he showcased it. Cook broke loose from single coverage in the first quarter, and Hasselbeck hit him beautifully for a 55-yard hookup. He ended his day with 8 catches (on 8 targets) for 169 yards and a score.
The running game was, yet again, ineffective. With quarterback stability, though, it doesn't always matter. Hasselbeck's competence and Cook's resurgence led to a much needed win for the Titans. They still need help to sneak in as the sixth spot in the AFC, but much stranger things have happened in the NFL. One more week left for the Titans, as they hope to get a playoff berth. Maybe with a little help from a modern-day Music City Miracle.

Market Monday: August 7th New Releases
Book of the Week
A Distant Soil vol. 1: The Gathering TP by Colleen Doran
The first new edition of the A Distant Soil series since 1987: 240-pages of story and art completely restored and remastered with new cover art and all new interior design. A teen brother and sister, Jason and Liana, are confined to a mental hospital where they are the subject of secret government experiments. They escape their prison only to be pursued by supernatural forces, strange alien people, and creatures with unique powers. Separated and kidnapped by two different factions of warring worlds, they learn they are the children of a race of powerful and ageless psychic beings. The brother and sister are then used by both factions of these alien forces to unknowingly battle against one another. Combining the sci-fi space opera of Star Wars and the visual opulence of Final Fantasy, the A Distant Soil saga finds Liana forced to ascend to the throne of the alien world. Her unique power makes her a living weapon of mass destruction, the first line of defense for the corrupt alien government.

Collection of the Week
No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics TP, contains work by Alison Bechdel, Paige Braddock, Jennifer Camper, Diane DiMassa, Kris Dresen, Leslie Ewing, Joyce Farmer, Ellen Forney, Isabel Franc, Leanne Franson, Roberta Gregory, Michelle Grubin, Joan Hilty, Gina Kamentsky, Lee Marrs, Susanna Martín, Carrie McNinch, Erika Moen, Annie Murphy, MariNaomi, Andrea Natalie, Trina Robbins, Roxxie, Joey Alison Sayers, Ariel Schrag, Christine Smith, and Mary Wings
Queer cartooning encompasses some of the best and most interesting comics of the last four decades, with creators tackling complex issues of identity and a changing society with intelligence, humor, and imagination. This book celebrates this vibrant artistic underground by gathering together a collection of excellent stories that can be enjoyed by all.
No Straight Lines showcases major names such as Alison Bechdel (whose book Fun Home was named Time Magazine's 2006 Book of the Year), Howard Cruse (whose groundbreaking Stuck Rubber Baby is now back in print), and Ralf Koenig (one of Europe's most popular cartoonists), as well as high-profile, cross-over creators who have dabbled in LGBT cartooning, like legendary NYC artist David Wojnarowicz and media darling and advice columnist Dan Savage. No Straight Lines also spotlights many talented creators who never made it out of the queer comics ghetto, but produced amazing work that deserves wider attention.
Until recently, queer cartooning existed in a parallel universe to the rest of comics, appearing only in gay newspapers and gay bookstores and not in comic book stores, mainstream bookstores or newspapers. The insular nature of the world of queer cartooning, however, created a fascinating artistic scene. LGBT comics have been an uncensored, internal conversation within the queer community, and thus provide a unique window into the hopes, fears, and fantasies of queer people for the last four decades.
These comics have forged their aesthetics from the influences of underground comix, gay erotic art, punk zines, and the biting commentaries of drag queens, bull dykes, and other marginalized queers. They have analyzed their own communities, and their relationship with the broader society. They are smart, funny, and profound. No Straight Lines will be heralded by people interested in comics history, and people invested in LGBT culture will embrace it as a unique and invaluable collection.

The personal income of Arizonans slid more last year in this state than almost everywhere else in the nation.
New figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show the average per capita income of Arizonans last year dropped, to $32,935.
The fact of the slide is not surprising. The recession resulted in a decline nationwide of 2.8 percent.
But the drop in Arizona was 4.1 percent.
That had the added effect of putting Arizonans further behind the curve in comparing their income to that in the rest of the country.
In 2008, the Arizona figure was 85.5 percent. It dropped last year to 84.2 percent.
It also means that Arizona is now 43rd of all the states in per capita personal income, down two slots from last year — and six from the beginning of the decade.
University of Arizona economist Marshall Vest said a variety of factors are at work.
One is that per capita personal income is dependent on population growth.
Some of that is natural, with births last year outnumbering deaths by more than 54,000. But Vest said that even with the recession, people keep moving here.
Dan Anderson, economist for the Arizona Board of Regents, said what also figures in are the number of retirees: They count as part of the population used to determine per capita income, but they are not working.
He also said the companies that locate here have a lot of entry-level jobs with the commensurate entry-level wages.
But both concluded that much of it comes down to the fact that wages are lower here than in much of the country. And they said that's a function of how the state markets itself to companies.
"There's been kind of a philosophical debate in the state for a long time: Do we see our niche as being the low-cost entity in business?" Anderson said. The alternative is to be a "high value-added" state, where wages are higher "but the value of what you get from your employees offsets that greater cost."
He said those involved in setting Arizona policy seem to have decided for the former.
Vest agreed, saying even the perennial push to lower taxes more and more sends a message to companies.
"We continue to market the state as a low cost of doing business," he said. "If you're the low-cost leader, you get the kinds of jobs that don't pay high wages."
Still, Vest said, salaries are likely to remain below the national average no matter what.
"You have to pay people more to live in Chicago or New York City or San Francisco or L.A.," he said, versus the desire of people to live in "the wide open spaces" of Arizona. And, he said, there are other advantages.
"You don't shovel snow, the earth doesn't move, we don't have terrorist attacks here," Vest said.
One other factor relates to how the recession has hit Arizona versus the rest of the country. That has to do with the state's dependence on growth itself as an economic force — and the construction jobs that go with it.
In 2006, more than 9 percent of all jobs in the state were in the relatively well-paying construction industry. When the bottom fell out of the economy, more than half of the jobs went away.
Vest said if there's a bright spot in the report, it relates to the figures for the last quarter of 2009. He said income growth in Arizona is not only above average but is the 12th highest of all the states.
"It suggests that we may be coming out of this," he said. "I think we are."
Anderson, however, was not ready to go that far. He pointed out that the quarterly statistics are routinely revised with later-available data.
"I'm hopeful," he said. "But I'm not, at this point, optimistic."

Gigantic horse head statue spotted in LiverpoolBy Eamonn Lavery
Liverpool's Baltic Triangle never fails to surprise. And when Bay TV spotted a 30 foot horse's head being carefully winched out of one of the area's many warehouse buildings, it took us a little while to figure out quite what was going on.
The Castle Fine Arts Foundry have been present in the Baltic Triangle for 12 months, and this bronze statue, on its way to a race course in Philadelphia, was the largest piece they have ever produced - and, given the size of the doors, they couldn't really make one much larger!

Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.
John Shirley
Are you going to make full use of your time this weekend?
Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they'll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
—John Green
And this time I promise we won't get stranded
The meaning of travel might vaguely be
The sound of a train running along swiftly, like a floating dandelion, clang-tap, clang-tap, tip-tap, tang-tap, tip-tap, tang-tap sounds on the iron metal tracks.
It is a beat that is technically unstoppable.
A rhythm that I reckon even McCandless would be mightily proud of.
We dream of better traveling days, always without fail.
Like giants walking in our midst, we must stand on their shoulders, and take the first walk, and first learn how to navigate around our heart machine.
Living like swans on a Cluny Park Lake, paddling around a wild lake, like a private journey on a sunny day meant for taking photographs, synchronized for you and me.
Maps, maps, maps, coming as essential as they are to an objectified traveler, they are still folded paper. And folded papers were really paper planes when we were four years old.
And when at seven years old, you fuck around it with a rubber band, you will inflict bravado pain on the girl seated three seats ahead of you. That is love at primary mischief.
The altimeter becomes fickle, white the speedometer is on a maniac street revolution.
Preacher, preacher, don't be hasty! Mama told me not to come but who could resist the jingling and jangling of walking aimlessly around with you.
We dot necessarily need to commandeer a van or plane. But we will need a good pair of shoes.
And taking pictures out from a plane's window is just cliche, it will be like askin your pastor, "have you ever seen the rain? Amen."
Let us just sing of transport, motorways and tram lines with a smile drawn on our face, covering it with a handmade
notebook, and we will smile with only our eyes.
Look at the grass that says when the wind picks it up, a flirt ever so slightly, until the fiddler grasshopper, always on a journey, springs in and gate crashes the moonlit party.
We will travel like Perec did.
We will travel like Proust did, with his mind in the crux of a Madeleine..
We will travel like Marco Polo, and the first time we ever heard his last name, was when Mother bought us a roll of mints to quell our childish desires at the mamastore. Till this day, that desire rears its super-size head at French fries.
If we can play it dangerously, the year of living it all dangerously, we will not purchase that air-ticke to Reykavijk. It is all 101 methods from start to stop, taking off and landings, the best we can do is to ignore the pull of Iceland, and quick-say our Hallelujahs in my powdered-floor room. We should throw in a victory dance too.
But you know I will travel with you one of these days.
And this time I promise we won't get stranded.
Because I am planning to grow wigs just for our trip(s).

A poem dedicated to Chinese New Year
Dong Dong Dong Chiang
Dong Dong Dong Chiang
Dong Dong Dong Chiang
Dong Chiang Dong Chiang
Once again is that familiar tune,
resounding in my head endlessly.
Yes, its the arrival of Chinese New Year,
Yet, there is not one bit of excitement.
The usual ritual of collecting Ang Baos
And exchanging of oranges.
Yes, these are the Chinese traditions that i am accustomed to,
Especially being brought up in a Chinese family.
Dong Dong Dong Chiang
Dong Dong Dong Chiang
Dong Dong Dong Chiang

Its the prancing lion and flying dragon,
How i wished i am not disturb from my beauty sleep.

Amid thunderous speeches, one business representative hoped to get her ideas across with cupcakes Thursday, at the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce 6th annual political Hobnob.
Kathryn Sabaka, Director of Sales at Courtyard by Marriott in Warner Robins says she wants local officials to push for the development of a year-round sports complex.
"Definitely help the economy, jobs, it brings millions of dollars in," Sabaka said.
Sabaka is one of roughly 250 business representatives and community members who came out to mingle with 42 candidates for local and state office at the hobnob.
State Senator Ross Tolleson (R) District 20, is a veteran of the hobnob. Although he's not up for re-election, he still comes out to bounce ideas off of other lawmakers.
"People have a good time, they're just hanging out and talking to each other and, you know, it's a great event," Tolleson said.
Tolleson says this year's hobnob is special. He wants voters to really get to know the people they are voting for.
"We can't afford to elect soundbites anymore, we need to elect people who want to be leaders in America," Tolleson said.
While Sabaka isn't allowed to endorse individual candidates, she too can still get to know them, and she can make sure they know what she wants.
"Looking forward to a great election and hoping to move forward," Sabaka said.

Note from Doug: Having lived for two wonderful years in Paoli, PA, a suburb west of Philadelphia just south of Valley Forge, I have a special interest in this regional indicator. But, more importantly, it gives a generally reliable clue as to direction of the broader Chicago Fed's National Activity Index.
The Philly Fed's Business Outlook Survey is a monthly report for the Third Federal Reserve District, covers eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware. The latest gauge of General Activity came in at 20.7, a small decrease from last month's 22.5. The 3-month moving average came in at 23.7, down from 24.8 last month. Since this is a diffusion index, negative readings indicate contraction, positive ones indicate expansion. The Six-Month Outlook slipped to 54.5 from last month's 56.
Here is the introduction from the Business Outlook Survey released today:
|Firms responding to the October Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey indicated continued growth in the region's manufacturing sector this month. Most broad indicators of current growth, while positive, weakened from higher readings last month. The current activity, shipments, and employment indexes declined, while the index for new orders was at a higher level compared with September. A larger percentage of firms reported higher prices for their own manufactured goods this month. The survey's indicators for future manufacturing conditions fell from higher readings but continued to reflect general optimism about growth in activity and employment over the next six months. (Full PDF Report)
Today's 20.7 came in fractionally above the 20.0 forecast at Investing.com.
The first chart below gives us a look at this diffusion index since 2000, which shows us how it has behaved in proximity to the two 21st century recessions. The red dots show the indicator itself, which is quite noisy, and the 3-month moving average, which is more useful as an indicator of coincident economic activity. We can see periods of contraction in 2011 and 2012 and a shallower contraction in 2013. The indicator is now above its post-contraction peak in September of last year.
In the next chart we see the complete series, which dates from May 1960. The average absolute monthly change across this data series is 7.4, which shows that the 1.8 point change from last month is well below usual monthly volatility.
The next chart is an overlay of the General Activity Index and the Future General Activity Index — the outlook six months ahead.
The Philly Fed General Activity Index continues to be a key indicator to watch closely.

Ark. man pleads guilty in teenage girl's death
August 15, 2012 11:55 AM
(AP) – A convicted rapist has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the killing of a 16-year-old Arkansas girl he met online. Lloyd Jones appeared in court Wednesday and entered his plea in the death of Angela Allen. Authorities said Allen's body was found inside a blue, plastic barrel on land owned by Jones' brother in western Arkansas. The 36-year-old also pleaded guilty to abuse of a corpse and other charges.
Authorities say Jones told investigators he was making out with Allen but pushed her into the Arkansas River when she told him her age. An autopsy showed she was strangled.
Allen left home Feb. 10. Her body was found in a blue, plastic barrel a week later.
Jones was convicted of rape in 2001 and paroled in 2008.

You should check out this article about the Chiefs running attack from none other than Kim Constantinesco, Fansided's Broncos blogger. Kim is one of the networks best bloggers and she is doing a fantastic job over at Predominately Orange. Her only problem is that she is a Broncos fan. Oh well. No one is perfect. But if you ever want to spy on the enemy, Predominately Orange is the place to go.
I completely agree with the majority. The Chiefs' backfield of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones is downright frightening. This is especially true for Broncos fans that saw Charles blast our defense for 259 rushing yards and 2 TDs in our last meeting with the Chiefs.
Let's get to know these two backs a little better.
The Jets released Thomas Jones despite leading the league in rushing and helping the team get to the AFC Conference Championship game. Jones is no spring chicken beginning his 11th season in the league. That's a lot of wear and tear on the body for a running back. In his final two seasons with the Jets, he had 2,714 yards on 621 carries for 27 TDs and 1 fumble. Those numbers are impressive and don't even include the fact that he's a great receiver too. During the '08-'09 season, he had 36 receptions for 207 yards and 2 TDs.

You can go blind, waiting
Unbelievable quiet
except for their
Moving the sea around
Unbelievable quiet inside you, as they change
the face of water
The only other time I felt this still was watching Leif shoot up when
we were twelve
Sunlight all over his face
the surface of something
I couldn't see
You can wait your
whole life
The Himalayas are on the move, appearing and disappearing in the snow in the Himalayas
begins to fill
the half-dead auditorium
giant step by
giant step
The Colorado
The Snake
The Salmon
My grandfather walks across the front porch
spotted with cancer, smoking
a black cigar
The whales fold themselves back and back inside the long hallways of
You have to stare back at the salt
the sliding mirrors
all day
just to see something
for the last time
By now they are asleep
some are asleep
on the bottom of the world
sucking the world in
and blowing it out
in wave-
Radiant ghosts
Leif laid his head back on a pillow and waiting for all the blood inside him
to flush down
a hole
After seeing whales what do you see?
The hills behind the freeway
power lines
green, green
the green sea."—Michael Dickman, Seeing Whales (via sleepinginthesnow)
there is a place in the heart that
will never be filled
we will wait
in that space."—Charles Bukowski (via mermaidsongs)
The physics of our world can kill
ruthless, rash and unattached.
But on who else can we rely
to claim the blame for every crash?

We give families in Leamington the funeral services they want: By either calling us on the phone or visiting our website we provide our families full transparency when it comes to funeral choices. Both information on the services and a full list of prices are stated clearly on our website in a way that is easy to understand.

We always listen to the families we serve to meet and exceed all expectations.

Access "Storage Bin: Duplessie's theory of evolution"
This article is part of the Vol. 6 No. 2 April 2007 issue of Backup overhaul: From a mainframe to an open-systems environment
Darwinian forces are at work in the storage industry, and users stand to benefit the most. Last month, I explained why the storage business works the way it does. This month, I'll talk about who's benefiting from the evolutionary changes that have occurred in this space. Revolutionary events cause rifts in the atmosphere, creating holes of new opportunity. IBM caused the great computer rift--enabling machines to perform business tasks--and it propelled them to historic levels of greatness not seen since the industrial revolution. The firm's success caused slower, evolutionary changes that enabled new holes of opportunity. Apple did it with iPod. Microsoft did it. But as IBM became more successful, the forces of evolution took hold and the problem shifted from "How do we get more leverage out of our high-priced math-whiz actuaries?" to "How will we keep all this electronic gadgetry up and running?" to "How do we do much more with way less?". Enter EMC, a fledgling memory company that saw an opportunity with a cheaper, faster, better play--namely storage. This... Access >>>

Unsnarl port traffic
Configuring the number of ports on storage arrays and switches shouldn't be a guessing game that results in an excess of ports and a big dent in your budget. To properly size a switch or storage array, you need to analyze the average and peak bandwidth requirements of each device. Monitoring current utilization rates will help you determine effective bandwidth requirements.
New connections: SAS and iSCSI HBAs
Serial-attached SCSI and iSCSI host bus adapters (HBAs) represent the latest in server-to-storage connectivity technologies. Tailored to specifically address the needs of two emerging storage protocols, these new HBAs can ensure that performance isn't sacrificed when one of these alternatives to Fibre Channel storage is deployed.
Free up database space
Database archiving is critical to the long-term management of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application. Archiving can shorten backup windows, speed recoveries and improve the database's overall performance. But effective archiving means carefully selecting the data to be removed from the production application and moved to secondary storage, and ensuring that it remains available and adequately protected.
Storage Bin: Duplessie's theory of evolution
Evolutionary changes in the storage world have opened the door to scores of smaller companies. Some of these startups have seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the current market dynamics. Good for them; but it's even better for you, with more choice and innovation than we've seen in a long time.
Hot Spots: Remote workers, stand up and be counted
Remote-office workers need to share their experiences with corporate IT because there are many different issues associated with working remotely and a wide range of products to address those problems.
Best Practices: Balance workloads with RAID types
Vendors will tell you how beautifully parity-based RAID works in their storage subsystems, making it almost unnecessary to use any type of striped/mirrored RAID protection. But if you don't match the workload profile of the application to how storage is provisioned in the array, you could wind up with a poorly balanced system.

NYC-based artist Fred Tomaselli applies his colorful, playful approach to collage and has a go at the front page of The New York Times, in the process creating a colorful yet deft political commentary of current events of the past few years. For those familiar with his larger-scale work, the look will be familiar. By making deceptively simple additions to front page photos, Tomaselli has succeeded in making a roundup of some of the horrible news of recent years that's somehow not as depressing as it might otherwise be.

For Immediate Release
on Senate District 16
AUGUSTA--The recount resulting from the November General Election began today for Senate District 16 under the supervision of the Secretary of State's Office. Currently, a 9-vote margin separates Christopher G. L. Hall (D) of Bristol and Leslie T. Fossel (R) of Alna. The recount determined that 8,842 ballots were cast for Hall and 8,833 ballots were cast for Fossel, with 163 ballots remaining in dispute. The candidates have agreed to return on Tuesday, November 19th at 9:00 a.m. to review and resolve the disputed ballots. The final result may be decided by the Maine Senate, if the candidates do not resolve the recount by agreement. This procedure is set forth in the Maine Constitution.
All recounts are conducted in a secure State Police building on Hospital Street in Augusta. Recounts are a public proceeding and members of the media may attend to observe. State law requires the State Police to collect the ballots for the recounts and keep them in the secured State Police facility until the recounts have been completed. The ballots are stored in tamperproof metal containers and are closed with specially numbered security seals and locks.
In a recount, the representatives of each candidate and the staff of the Division of Elections manually review each ballot to determine the official vote tally. Recounts are requested based upon the unofficial initial results, sometimes called the apparent results.
A candidate who requests and receives a recount may withdraw from the recount, thus ending the process, at any time while the recount shows that candidate did not win the election. If, during the recount, the candidate requesting the recount overtakes the candidate who initially appeared to win the election, the candidate requesting the recount may not withdraw the request.
An updated recount
schedule is attached.
