Herb Abrams thought he might be Jewish.
"Especially with the first name Herbert," Abrams said.
Abrams, 83, has spent 17 years researching the origin of his name and his family. Much of that search was done at the Mission Viejo Library, where Abrams was able to use genealogical society resources to look up information about his surname.
He found a book about the Abrams family in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. He tracked down the author's wife, who sold him several copies of the book.
Abrams, a Mission Viejo resident, learned he was of Scottish-Irish descent and that he might be connected to James Abrams, a veteran of the Revolutionary War.
The discovery instilled Abrams with a sense of pride in his family. He wanted to dig deeper, but that's when he was disappointed.
A DNA test he took along with distant cousins who were descendants of James Abrams showed the cousins were related to one other, but he was not related to them.
"I lost my Revolutionary War ancestor. I didn't feel good about that," Abrams said. "At first, I had boasted that I had a Revolutionary War ancestor, but it turns out I wasn't."
But Abrams was able to find a connection to James Abrams' wife, Mary Tedford. He was related to Abrams by marriage.
"I don't regret looking," Abrams said. "I enjoy solving puzzles. This was a puzzle."
Though her aunt instilled in her an interest in genealogy at a young age, Mission Viejo resident Mary Jo McQueen, 80, didn't start doing the heavy lifting of tracing her ancestors until she decided to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
McQueen, a self-proclaimed "patriot" who is proud of the United States and its history, said she knew she had a connection to that history. As a little girl, she remembers her great-grandfather saying something about blue-bellied Yankees.
She didn't know what it meant, and she didn't find out until after older relatives in her family had died. One thing that frustrated her and complicated her search was that her family never talked about family history. So McQueen turned to census records, family documentation pulled together by her aunt and genealogical society resources.
"I found out more about them since they died than I ever knew about them when they were living," McQueen said.
She learned the term was a reference to Union soldiers. Her ancestors who fought in the Civil War wore the blue uniform of the Union Army, she said.
Digging deeper, McQueen also discovered her great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, Col. Elisha Sheldon, was appointed by George Washington to the United States Cavalry. Sheldon commanded a cavalry unit in the Revolutionary War.
"I never knew or thought about the fact that my family was connected to something so important in the United States' history," McQueen said.
Interested in finding out more about your family's history and tracing your ancestors?
Here's how to begin:
Talk to older family members about their upbringing and that of their parents and grandparents.
Write down every name, place, date and relationship you know about your family. Look for information in family Bibles, newspaper clippings, military certificates, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, diaries, letters, scrapbooks, on the backs of photographs and in baby books. Look for property records at county and state offices.
Comb census records. Those from 1790 to 1940 are available on ancestry.com. Free access to the site is available through the genealogical society at the Mission Viejo Library. Birth and death records are also available on the site.
Get help from genealogical society volunteers Monday-Saturday at the library, 100 Civic Center, or by phone at 949-470-8498. Information: rootsweb.ancestry.com/~casoccgs/

Last summer, on a farm in Pennsylvania, Barbara Harley stood over a 145-year-old grave, one of several stops on a yearslong journey that had started somewhat out of frustration.
After her parents died in the mid-1990s, Harley regretted not knowing more about her family's legacy or about her father's experience in World War II.
"Neither of my folks talked much about their family," said Harley, 74.
She was left with few clues, so the Laguna Beach resident turned to the South Orange County California Genealogical Society. The Mission Viejo-based organization assists South County residents by providing them access to various genealogy sites where they can search for clues and trace their ancestors through census data and other resources.
The society was formed in 1994 by Mission Viejo resident Mary Ellen Lytle.
Lytle started the society because she didn't want to drive to Huntington Beach Central Library, home of the Orange County California Genealogical Society, to trace her ancestors, said Herb Abrams, a volunteer with the South County society who handles publicity and manages the society's website. Abrams said Lytle also wanted to provide a resource to South County residents who are researching their families.
The Mission Viejo Library provides space and computers to the society for volunteers to help residents begin their searches. The library also pays for access to ancestry search websites and has various books on family history. The society hosts workshops every third Saturday of the month on where to begin and how to maximize the search.
Recently, Abrams said, the society has been seeing more people coming through with questions and interest in finding their ancestors. Abrams and other society members attribute the increase to the popularity of shows such as TLC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" and PBS' "Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.".
UC Irvine professor of anthropology Karen Leonard said Americans are traditionally future-focused, but there has been a recent realization that learning more about the past can provide families and societies with ways to solve problems and answer questions.
"One problem with this country is people know so little about the rest of the world, and, if they track their own family history, it's a way to learn about the world," Leonard said.
The professor also said talking to older relatives can be even more valuable than looking at records and is likely to provide more answers.
"Many families have secrets that are not in the records," Leonard said. "If a couple got divorced in the early 20th century, there has to be a big reason. It might not be in the records."
Harley agreed. She was able to obtain a diary from her aunt before she died. It was the diary of Harley's great-great-grandfather, Albert Bolinger, a treasure she said gave her immense joy and showed what the two had in common: investing in family.
"I wish I knew him because he was a great man," she said. "He visited his family and did all kinds of things for them."
And that grave in Pennsylvania? It was Harley's great-great-great-great-grandfather, John Bolinger.
"I just thought it was really neat to be somewhere like that and to see the gravestones of his family, his sons and grandchildren," she said.
Harley said she felt a connection to him and wondered what he was like.
"It's pretty impossible to know what people's personalities were like," she said. "He had a big family. He must've been a hardworking man."
Harley's son, Bob McMichael, an English teacher in Idaho, is carrying on his mother's work. After doing some research and traveling to see ancestors' graves in Ireland – where he saw tombstones with the surname Gaston – he said he suspects the family has a French connection.
McMichael, who holds a doctorate in American studies and considers himself a historian, said his mother's efforts have been invaluable. "To me, what she's done is a really important part of oral history."

Seven out of ten Chief Financial Officers of large Irish companies have indicated that their company has now returned to growth, according to the Deloitte Q1 2014 CFO Survey.
Following a survey high in net optimism in Q4 2013, CFO sentiment in this regard remains broadly unchanged in the first quarter of the year – 50pc of respondents are optimistic about the financial prospects of their company, down just marginally from 52pc in Q4 2013.
Interestingly, one in four respondents (26pc) indicated no requirement for funding this quarter, with bank borrowings largely expected to remain unchanged or to decrease over the coming twelve months. 68pc of respondent CFOs have also signalled that capital expenditure within their organisation is likely to increase, and correspondingly 77pc of respondents believe that their corporate strategy is expansionary.
In terms of employment, CFO sentiment remains favourable – no respondents to the survey believe that unemployment rates will rise over the coming months. 79pc believe that the unemployment rate will continue to decrease. In terms of the availability of talent, a slight majority of CFOs (55pc) have indicated that they are not finding it difficult to employ individuals with the required skills and knowledge for available roles.
With regards to the macro economy, 69pc of CFOs believe the Irish economy has already returned to growth, or will do so before the end of the year. Confidence also remains buoyant with regards to foreign direct investment, exports and GDP - 73pc, 76pc and 73pc of CFOs respectively expect an increase in these economic metrics over the coming year.
Commenting on the survey findings, Shane Mohan, Partner, Deloitte commented: "Encouragingly, CFOs who are feeling more optimistic about the financial prospects of their company attribute this largely to external factors such as the overall economic situation and industry trends. Indeed economic growth in the EU is seen as one of the biggest drivers of company performance over the next 12 months. Previously, survey results indicated that CFOs were more confident in their own companies' performance than that of the overall economy. It is positive to see more of a balance in this regard, and 85pc of respondents believe the level of external financial and economic uncertainty facing their business is low."
Findings indicate that CFOs predict revenue growth in their firms will be driven by new offerings in 2014. There is also an increased view amongst respondents that their businesses will grow organically rather than by acquisition.
The top three external factors which CFOs identified may impede their business over the coming year included talent costs, fuel/energy prices and industry specific regulation.

CaloMist Nasal Spray FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The data described below and in Table 1 reflect exposure in 25 subjects (age range 27-82 years; 17 women; 21 Caucasians) with vitamin B12 deficiency (12 with pernicious anemia, 4 secondary to gastrointestinal surgery, 9 with unknown cause) who received CaloMist Nasal Spray 50 mcg daily for 8 weeks in an uncontrolled clinical trial. Prior to enrollment, all subjects were required to have normal vitamin B12 levels with intramuscular vitamin BI2 injections. One patient who completed the study developed epistaxis on Day 12 of dosing and was noted to have irritation of the right nasal septum at study end. This patient had pre-existing allergic rhinitis and required a doubling of the CaloMist Nasal Spray dose during the last week of the study because of declining vitamin B12 concentrations.

A full week after the massive house explosion in Salem took the lives of five people, the community comes together for a touching tribute. Our Matt Hunter has more.
HUDSON FALLS, N.Y. – "Losing three in the whole family at one time is devastating," said Paula Sherman, mother of Tammy Palmer, grandmother of Lawrence Berg II and great-grandmother of Niyah Durham, who all died last Wednesday. "I think I'm just in shock."
"It feels like their life was a candle that was just snuffed, there was no goodbye, no warning. I was just crushed," said Siobhan O'Leary, a friend and former high school classmate of Clarissa Porlier and Berg, who also passed away last week.
One week after Wednesday's horrific explosion in Salem cut short the lives of five people: Palmer, 41; Durham, an infant; Berg, 19; Porlier, 19; and Robert Sanford, 16, the community is still awash in sorrow.
Friends and family are doing the best they can to comfort each other, remembering only the good things about their loved ones.
"She [Palmer] was 41 but she acted like she was 18. She was just carefree," Sherman said.
"She [Porlier] would always make me my birthday cupcakes every year in the same container, which was the cutest thing," said Amber Cary, a high school classmate of Porlier and Berg.
"Larry was so sweet and funny and ticklish. All you had to do was poke him and he'd giggle," O'Leary said.
On Wednesday, those memories were being shared by the plenty. Friends and former classmates of Porlier's and Berg's from Hudson Falls High School organized a massive, colorful tribute in which a few hundred people brought balloons bearing messages to those they've lost.
"I thought it was important to show the community who didn't have the privilege of meeting Clarissa and Larry just how good people they were and how tragic their loss is to our community," said Cary, one of the event's organizers.
At just after 6 p.m., everyone stopped what they were doing and moved in a procession to an open field up the street. With heavy hearts, it was there they let their balloons fly and said a final goodbye.
"I just think this is amazing," O'Leary said. "People that don't normally talk to each other are pulling together for the family, because that's who we're here for, the family. I'm so glad we're doing this."
"We knew she was loved by people but this shows how much she really was loved and I appreciate all of them," Sherman said.
Sanford was laid to rest on Monday, while Porlier's funeral services were held Tuesday. A joint service for Durham, Berg and Palmer is scheduled for Friday.

Kingsway Joins Club of Insurance Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Embroiled in a dispute with Pennsylvania's insurance regulator, Kingsway Financial Services (KFS) is in trouble.
The Ontario-based insurer gifted ownership of a U.S. subsidiary to 20 charities to limit its liabilities, and now the company looks terminal. Its stock price stands at a little more than $1.
It's not the only insurer whose shares have swung wildly as the credit crisis, worsened by the recession, has meant investing has become a buy-or-sell opportunity depending on the news of the day. Some companies' stocks, such as Ambac (ABK) or Radian (RDN), are driven by rumor as much as profits or losses, or other facts.
Kingsway's stock has dropped more than 67% in a month, dragged down by the dispute with the insurance regulator. Ambac has fallen 29%, hurt by late filings, revelations of misstatements and the resignation of its chief financial officer. Insurance shares also rise on the barest of good news these days. Radian's stock popped 23% on Tuesday on lower-than-expected delinquency rates.Kingsway is unlike Ambac in one way: Its beta (or stock-market correlation) of 0.84 is the opposite of Ambac's 2.15. You expect high returns for risking your money with Ambac. What you don't expect is the high risk that comes with Kingsway's low beta. Kingsway's 74% decline in the past year is the worst performance of any insurance stock, with Ambac at No. 2. If it prevails in its court case with Pennsylvania's insurance regulator, Kingsway will get a reprieve, and its stock will certainly rocket. As with Ambac, whose stock is well below $1, Kingsway is massively speculative.

It's much harder to abuse welfare than it seems OP thinks. You have to be in deep **** to get it, and many people aren't on for very long (2 years).

I live in PA and I had the most ironic thing happen to me when it comes to welfare. I live in a small town near pittsburgh where our tools are basically people trying to be rednecks. Sadly one of my good friends is kind of like that. And he make a joke that was somethign like "All those ******* in pittsburgh are all probably playing black ops 2 right now because they are on welfare." And his mom seriously agreed with him and went into more detail. When I went to leave with a friend I brought that up. turns out that my friend's family, the one with the racist mom, is on welfare. Oh the sweet irony.

But some don't, some spend there entire lives on it. Also, there are some people in my area that have as many children as possible to get extra government aid, then make the kids get jobs and support themselves as soon as they turn 16.

Sleep - how much & where?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-03-2012 - 12:37am
I've not been on in a while, so forgive me if there has been a similar thread. And I know its been mentioned here and there, but I wanted to kind of focus on it.
I'm curious how much your LO sleeps and where/how. Like what is the typical day time nap and what is overnight like? Also, where does your LO sleep best at? I mean crib, swing, being held, etc.
Harley is almost 6 weeks now - she has no real schedule yet, but she usually will sleep a long nap during the day - up to 3 hours. Other than that - she naps the rest of the day between 15 minutes and an hour between feedings and her awake/alert periods. Overnight she usually does a 5 hour stretch like about 1030-330, then about every 2 hours after.
In her overnight strtch she will sleep in the bed w/ me or in the crib/bassinet fine, but during the say she wakes up immediately if I put her in a bed. She sleeps better/longer if she is held, in the swing, in the sling, or in the car seat.
I'm just wondering how this compares to others. I don't remember the details from my 2 other DDs. Have I spoiled her already by holding her to put her to sleep? Is that why she doesn't sleep as well in the crib/bassinet? Or will this just come in time?
|Wed, 10-03-2012 - 10:00am
Ellie is 8 weeks and there is still no real pattern. During the day she naps on and off anywhere from 15 min to 3 hours. She will generally fall asleep in my arms and I'll put her in her bouncy seat or her crib. She can also fall asleep in the car seat if we are on a walk or driving around.
(We breast feed on demand and there is no schedule for that either. If she is awake she just wants to snack all day.)
Lately, I have had a very hard time getting her to fall asleep at night when I am ready to go to bed. The thing that works best is to take her into bed with me and nurse her lying down. We both fall asleep together that way. I try to get her into the bedside cosleeper if I am still awake, but often she ends up sleeping in our bed. Once she is asleep, she'll sleep for 4-6 hours and then maybe 2-3 more after that.
I'm jealous that you can get her to fall asleep in a sling. The few times I have tried to put Ellie in a sling she just screamed.
|Wed, 10-03-2012 - 10:07am
Mason sleeps best at night cuddled close to DH or me. We have given up on the pack and play in our room. He eats every 2-4 hours or so. I just nurse him in bed and we both fall asleep. During the day he sleeps being held mostly. Someimes we can put him down in the swing for a little while, but usually he just wakes back up. He will only be happy a short amount of time each day without being held. He is a cuddly boy. He doesn't have any set schedule. He pretty much thinks he should be eating if he is awake, but we do use a nuk too. Looks like he is right on target for weight at 47% so similar to his siblings at his age.
|Wed, 10-03-2012 - 10:15am
I don't think your little one is spoiled. She should be held at this age. She knows she is safe and secure with you. Independence will come with time. I know it is hard to get stuff done or sleep well when they want to be held all the time, but it won't last forever. Every baby is different on how much holding they need. I used to think I was doing something wrong because my oldest had to be held and bounced/moved/walked all of the time. Mason is much like this. But Isaiah and the girls weren't quite as needy. Now I know they are just different and I don't feel so guilty. I was just sure I messed something up with Hunter because he was my first. I thought I over stimulated him and didn't recognize sleep cues (which may have been true) but since Mason is much the same, I don't feel as bad. I have learned how to deal with the neediness better and it helps that DH is the stay at home parent now instead of me (he has a lot more patience than I do in my opinion.) It sounds like you are doing a great job with her!
|Fri, 10-05-2012 - 12:55pm
We've actually been on a pretty regular schedule from the start. Ellie is usually up for the day around 7 am and she's awake at most 1 1/2 hours and then sleeps for 2-3 hours at a time. Most often than not she will eat and go back to sleep during the day. She does have a stretch between 7-9 pm where she'll be up for a while and then I'll put her in her crib for the night. She's up 2 times during the night and I go to her room to change, feed and put her back in her crib. She will then get up around 4 or 5 and that time I will go in and get her and bring her in our room to nurse and then she goes back to sleep until 7 am.
During the day when she's sleeping she's either in her swing. bouncer or I'm holding her.

The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is taking action to educate parents about the increased risk of complications faced by obese children undergoing anesthesia. The number of obese children has doubled in the past two decades and tripled among adolescents and the ASA encourages parents to help improve both the surgical outcomes and long-term health of America's youth.
Administering anesthesia to children is complex because their airways are still developing and are prone to collapse during the administration of anesthesia, and this risk is increased by obesity. Children and adolescents should ideally be as healthy as possible before a surgery. In a recent survey conducted by the CDC, approximately 16.9 percent of children and adolescents aged 2-19 were obese, with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30.1 While obese children and adolescents may experience severe health issues associated with their weight – including asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes – they are even more at risk during a surgical procedure.
"Obese chidren have extra tissue surrounding their airway, chest, and abdomen that can impair breathing while under anesthesia, and limit the amount of oxygen they receive during surgery. This can lead to a range of complications including impairment of lung function and in severe circumstances even brain damage," said Mark Singleton, M.D., ASA member and chair of the committee on pediatric anesthesia. "As the physicians responsible for protecting the Vital Health of patients when they are at their most vulnerable – before, during and after surgery – we're urging parents and youths alike to educate themselves about the potential risks associated with pediatric obesity and to fight this growing trend by making changes that enable them to lose weight while maintaining an active lifestyle."
The ASA is taking steps to reduce surgery-related risks in obese children and adolescents by providing parents with the following tips to improve their children's surgical outcomes and overall health:
Follow these steps recommended by the ASA to prepare your child for surgery.
Please visit www.LifelinetoModernMedicine.com for more information about pediatric obesity and how to improve your child's surgical outcomes and overall health.

Founded in 1905, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) is an educational, research and scientific society with more than 52,000 members organized to raise and maintain the standards of the medical practice of anesthesiology. ASA is committed to ensuring physician anesthesiologists evaluate and supervise the medical care of patients before, during and after surgery to provide the highest quality and safest care every patient deserves.

Win of the Week: Designing a Better PPC Ad

Win of the Week: Spelling It Out to Increase CTR by 65%
How would you like to see a sequence of ads instead of just one winner and one loser? This will give you better insight into the reasons why one ad wins ... and other ads lose. With that in mind, I'm showing you four ads instead of two.These ads paint a more accurate picture of the BoostCTR contest process.
It is not uncommon for the first two or three submissions to lose to the control ad. After repeated attempts to "dethrone" the control ad, a new winner is discovered.Such is the case below. The first two ads that were submitted by our writers did NOT win. These two ads lost to the control ad by 22% and 26% respectively.

Five Reasons Every Startup Needs a Great Writer
When hiring for a tech startup, most companies focus, understandably, on technical talent: developers and engineers. Obviously, you need great engineers if you're going to build software, apps or a website of any kind. But don't underestimate the value that a great writer can bring to your organization.
A lot of startups make any writing tasks that come up the responsibility of whichever staff member is the most competent writer. When you're bootstrapping, multitasking is a necessity. But if you've got some funding, hiring an excellent writer can impact your business in a lot of positive ways.

What Do Ads with High Click-Through Rates Have in Common?
When analyzing the performance of your pay-per-click ads, one of the main factors you'll want to concentrate on is click-through rate (CTR). Ads with high CTR are desirable because they drive more traffic to your site in less time. In addition, a high CTR contributes to a good Quality Score, and that helps lower your cost per click.
It's also an indication that you're targeting a relevant, qualified audience, which can improve your conversion rate as well.

Five Ways to Repurpose Marketing Content
Ideally you would be able to produce multiple new blog posts, press releases, case studies and newsletters every day, bolstering your company's supply of marketing content and appealing to Google's love of freshness. But the reality is you are not a machine, and can only write so much during your workday.
Given time and energy limitations, it's key you find efficient ways to reuse, recycle and repackage your content (otherwise known as repurposing your content). Here are five ways to repurpose your marketing content to save time and get maximum leverage out of your work. 1. Tweak a blog post you've published and pitch it as a guest post. Google doesn't look kindly upon duplicate content, and neither do your fellow bloggers, but if the posts are significantly different, you should be in the... > Read more
Seven Unusual, Eye-Catching Calls to Action
There are a few key basics that every PPC text ad needs in order to rank well and generate clicks: A compelling headline Relevant keywords A relevant display URL A call to action This post focuses on the last requirement. The call to action, or CTA, is the language that tells the searcher what to do – in other words, giving them a reason to click.
(Aside from increasing your traffic, a higher click-through rate will also improve your Quality Score, which in turn will lower your costs.) The default call to action is something like "Buy now!" This may be better than no CTA at all, but it's not very good. It's too familiar, too general and too pushy. So what's a better call to action? It's good to remember that your CTA doesn't have to be a direct sales push – there are many other soft ... > Read more

Master Class: Keyword Research for Stellar Content Creation, Part 4
This is the final excerpt from Master Class: Keyword Research for Stellar Content Creation, by Angie Nikoleychuk. Click below to get the full article now, including the final section, "Social Media Keywords." Qualifying Site Visitors For me, one of the most important steps is qualifying your visitors.
For instance, while I work with many different people and businesses, I aim for businesses and professionals who already have a site and are looking to get more from it. So, when I produce content, I use keywords and topics that focus on getting more out of what you already have. This piece, for instance, isn't just about keyword research, but all the different aspects surrounding the practice and how it relates to content production and publishing. Therefore, I'm more likely t... > Read more

Ask any smart businessperson and they'll tell you traffic and sales are still miles apart. What I mean is that you can't just say to yourself "OK, now I'm going to become an authority figure," pound out some content, and expect to get results. It just doesn't work that way. Traffic Keywords These are the ones all search engine optimizers are familiar with. These keywords generate massive amounts of traffic with a reasonable ... > Read more

If you're in need of links and rankings, your keywords will likely be found using SEO keyword tools and based heavily on your findings. This doesn't mean there isn't any consideration for social in an SEO-based piece or vice versa — simply that its f... > Read more

For the rest of the week, we'll be posting excerpts from a new article: Master Class: Keyword Research for Stellar Content Creation, by Angie Nikoleychuk. Click below to get the full article now. Keyword Research and Content Type Great content is...well...great. There's no denying that, but when it doesn't attract the right people, or achieve results, it's essentially useless.
Of course, you can slam down a list of keywords and requirements, but it simply won't generate the results many would like to believe. So, just as you did when you built the main pages of your website, you need to do some keyword research. The basics of this research are similar, but it's quite different from what you're used to. In this article, I'm not going to go through how to use variou... > Read more
The Creativity in PPC: Ad Copy Lessons from Advertising Masterpieces
In anticipation of the new season of Mad Men (which begins later this month), I thought it might be worth exploring the creative side of PPC. Unfortunately, PPC specialists too often forget their creative merits. Amidst all of the researching, monitoring, and overall managing of client expectations, it is easy to downplay the importance of being creative in the search engine marketing industry.
Today, I'm here to preach the other side of the story and encourage you to embrace the Don Draper or Peggy Olson that lies within you.Day in and day out, web marketers approach their marketing problems with analytical solutions. We diagnose our accounts pragmatically with bid changes and budget management. Ultimately, we are spoiled with instant results, updates, and modifications, and seemingly, ... > Read more
Content Optimization Strategy: Revamp Your Content to Capitalize on Missed Long Tail Keyword Opportunities
When it comes to content optimization, I'm a big fan of revisiting and reworking my existing content to take advantage of any traffic opportunities I may be missing out on. Now even though I perform keyword research before writing any blog post or landing page, I often always overlook keyword opportunities (both long tail and any closely-related keyword variations around my core term).
And being a search marketer, one of my primary goals when writing is to rank. So I don't want to leave any keyword optimization opportunities on the table. That's why, after I've published content, I make it a point to go back and fine tune things, so I can extract every last ounce of SEO benefit.Now, the Web is saturated with articles on tools that aid you in conducting initial keyword research. But wh... > Read more
There Are No Stupid Questions …
In a post called "What's Up, Internet," writer Amelia Gray answers some of the questions that Googlers have found her blog by asking: how long does it take to get a warrant I think you can get one in an afternoon, if you are a police officer and you can find a judge to give you one. (It will take more time if you're just some guy.
) what sort of rocks are there? All kinds. Some rocks are very hard and others are so soft you can scratch them with your fingernail. Sometimes rocks float. Once I had a dream I was explaining a quartz rock to my child. Amelia may be doing this for laughs, but she still got a good post out of it, right? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Your keywords are content idea generators. If you're already ranking for questions like "What's the worst high five ... > Read more

Top 11 SEO Copywriting Blogs
One of the best ways to learn how to write engaging and SEO-friendly website copy—and keep up with industry changes—is to read what the experts have to say. Plenty of blogs focus on the topic of online copywriting, but many of those blogs are not updated on a weekly or even monthly basis. Also, many of those blogs are little more than a promotional tool for a company's product or author's book.
We've saved you time by creating a list of the best copywriting blogs that are out there. Here they are, in no particular order: 1. Copyblogger Copyblogger has a large following, with some posts getting over 1,000 tweets and 250 comments. New media writer/producer Brian Clark started the blog four years ago. It includes posts by him and other copywriting professionals. One of the fir... > Read more
The Power of Anchor Text. True Story!
It's something you hear over and over again from SEOs: Anchor text matters. Chris Brogan relayed this familiar advice this week in a post on decisions we make as bloggers: By the way, HOW you link to something matters. If you link to chrisbrogan.com by calling it Chris's blog, then you're telling Google that people searching for "Chris's blog" might want chrisbrogan.
com. If you link to chrisbrogan.com by calling it social media resources or social media strategy or whatever (frankly, I've never known what to bother ranking for in search results), then you are telling Google that people searching for social media whatever might want to find my blog. So in choosing the words for the link text, you're also making decisions. Aside: It took me FOREVER to find where I'd read this a... > Read more
Five Myths About SEO Copywriting
1. SEO copywriting sounds forced and mechanical. This myth is almost true: Bad SEO copywriting sounds forced and mechanical. You can spot it from a mile away: The Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar What are the benefits of apple cider vinegar? The benefits of apple cider vinegar are many! The benefits of apple cider vinegar include improved health and boosted immunity.
This page is all about the benefits of apple cider vinegar. I guess if this page starts ranking for "the benefits of apple cider vinegar" I'll have to eat my words, huh? But seriously folks: SEO copywriting doesn't have to, and shouldn't, be robotic. Keyword research is a supplement to good writing, not a replacement for it. The only reason that keyword-targeted copy would end up sounding as ridiculous as the above paragraph i... > Read more
The Week in Search: Even More Ways to Brainstorm Blog Posts
I'm sort of surprised that I've never linked to Chris Brogan's blog in a Friday roundup before, since I'm a regular reader. Maybe because his posts tend to be short, to the point and difficult to disagree with, and finding something to disagree with is one of my top ways of brainstorming new blog posts.
It's also one of Chris Brogan's! His "How to Think of Blog Posts" post features the good-old-fashioned rant at #8 (see roundups of Fridays past in which I disagree with Seth Godin, David Powazek and Robert Scoble). I guess I'm feeling agreeable this week because I have no beef with Chris's post; I simply want to add a few more ideas to the list: 1. Expand on a tweet: The next time you start to respond to something or someone on Twitter, hold that thought and see if you can't expand beyond 1... > Read more
The Future of Content Creation: Keyword Research on Steroids
Wired this week published a fascinating profile piece on a company called Demand Media: "The Answer Factory: Fast, Disposable, and Profitable as Hell." The company's approach to content generation almost sounds like science fiction or satire, but it's real, and it works. It's a purely algorithmic, data-driven method of prioritizing content designed to rank on the first page of the Google SERPs: basically keyword research in hyperdrive.
And like it or not, this may be where we're all headed. Keyword-research-driven content production is nothing new; we practice this ourselves (to an extent). Workflow is based on the keyword groups that are currently driving traffic and conversions. If tons of people are finding our site after searching on "keyword organization tools" and we don't have dedi... > Read more
Features, Not Just Benefits – Why Differentiation Requires More Than Vague Maxims
Every marketing 101 class worth its salt will have you walking out the door uttering two time-honored maxims where messaging and copy is concerned: Benefits, Not Features. Unique Value Proposition. No one really wants to hear about what you do, they want to know what you'll do for them, right? And you want to make sure that you're showing unique value; that you offer something no one else does.
You want to provide differentiation. The problem here is that because of strict adherence in marketing copy and creative to the first maxim, just talking about benefits is no longer good enough to achieve the second. Every company I come in contact with is going to make me better, faster, cheaper, smarter. These are benefits aimed at the "what's in it for me". ... > Read more

Need a air dryer for the telecom / microwave waveguide industry? Visit Puregas.com for waveguide antenna air dryers, central office air dryers, broadcast air dryers and telecom air dryer systems.
We can help you select the proper air dryer, gas separator, filters, and other air dryer system components for your application requirements. Learn More
PUREGAS is a leading designer and manufacturer of air dryers to remove water vapor and gases. We also stock compressed air filters to remove contaminates, moisture alarms for wet air detection, and refrigerated air dryers for the lowest pressure ratings in the industry. PUREGAS has designes and manufactures the world's smallest regenerative desiccant air dryer for the pneumatic automation system of a medical equipment OEM. PUREGAS continues to lead the compressed air dryer market with a broad line of innovative, clean-dry air products, engineering support, and exceptional customer service.
Moisture, gases, and contaminates in compressed air can cause a variety of operational problems for equipment and users. Common problems include corrosion of equipment, freezing of outdoor air lines, and contamination of processes and products. This results in increased maintenance, higher operating costs, damaged product and lost production capacity. For these reasons, packages for compressed clean dry air (CDA) are essential for industrial and laboratory use. Some examples of sensitive pneumatic, process, and lab applications are: HVAC controls, infrared spectroscopy, pneumatic automation, lasers, continuous emissions monitoring, nitrogen replacement, cryogenics, and much more.
PUREGAS offers a wide variety of standard and custom-engineered products including mini (0.40 to 3.2 SCFM), small (2.8 - 50 SCFM), and large (55 -5000 SCFM) regenerative desiccant air dryers. Using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, our regenerative air dryers are designed to maximize the efficiency of the drying process with low velocity air flowing through the desiccant and large internal air passages to reduce pressure drop. PUREGAS' desiccant air dryers are dependable, require low maintenance, and easy to monitor.
In addition to our standard desiccant dryers, we manufacture dryers containing specialized molecular sieve and catalyst media for the removal of CO2 or CO, as well as moisture. For example, our CO2 adsorbers uses media beds featuring 13X molecular sieve in a pressure swing adsorption process for efficient adsorption of CO2. Outlet CO2 levels are reduced to less than 1 PPM and outlet H2O levels to less than -100°F dew point. Adsorbed moisture and CO2 are desorbed and vented to atmosphere while dry CO2 free air is provided at the outlet port with flows up to 320 SLPM (11.3 SCFM).
PUREGAS also offers Clean-Dry Air (CDA) packages. CDA compressed air dryer packages are complete, enclosed, compact units, each consisting of a compressor, regenerative desiccant air dryer, coalescing and particulate filters, and a regulator. These packages are great for applications requiring low volumes of clean-dry compressed air at pressures up to 100 PSIG. Our unique, self-contained design allows for superior performance and longevity. Convenient carrying handles are also provided for each unit.
PUREGAS also carries membrane air dryers in a variety of styles. Membrane dryers use hollow tubes composed of a macro-molecular membrane through which moisture passes easily, but does not allow air (oxygen and nitrogen) through. Membrane dryers are small, compact units that can provide a +40°F or lower pressure dew points.
We also manufacture accessories for your clean-dry compressed air systems, including moisture indicators and humidity alarms. Moisture indicators provide an inexpensive way to monitor a dry compressed air system. The moisture indicators are built in several pipe thread sizes. They can be installed in the air line anywhere after the air dryer or on the dryer outlet, and changes color (from blue to pink) when moisture levels rise. The electronic humidity alarms are designed to allow remote monitoring of a dry compressed air line, providing a local warning light when a high level of moisture is present, and provide a dry contact closure for PLC input or a complete air flow shut-off.
PUREGAS also provides a selection of heatless air dryers and refrigerated air dryers.
Filtration is essential to remove oil aerosols, condensed water, and particulates, in any compressed air line. TTE's high efficiency coalescing and particulate filters protect your compressed air and gas systems from these contaminants. We carry individual filters along with filter packages and replacement filter element kits for your convenience. (Learn More)
PUREGAS continues to lead the compressed air dryer market with innovative clean-dry air products, engineering support, and exceptional customer service.
From its factory in Broomfield Colorado, PUREGAS' products and services reach customers around the world, providing clean dry air for your compressed air needs.

Alcatel-Lucent Join Forces With Telefonica To Accelerate Industry Shift To Network Functions Virtualization
BARCELONA, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile World Congress -- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) have signed a co-innovation agreement with Telefonica to drive innovation and adoption of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) by the telecommunications industry, building on the strength of a shared vision.
The strategic relationship will use Alcatel-Lucent's CloudBand NFV platform to identify and develop process models to help service providers decide which elements within the network should be virtualized and when. Virtualization of network functions allow decoupling of the software-based functions from the physical infrastructure enabling service providers such as Telefonica to greatly reduce operating costs through a more efficient management of the physical infrastructure, which can be reused for playing different functionalities, as well as enabling the faster roll-out of next-generation services and applications thanks to the moldable network architecture that the software based functions make possible, moving and adding the functionality to the points of presence where they are required in almost real time.
Alcatel-Lucent and Telefonica both play leading roles in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) industry body for NFV and are committed to advancing the development of NFV. With this expanded collaboration, Telefonica and Alcatel-Lucent will move closer to making NFV a reality and create a reference model for future network architectures.
In addition to the agreement with Telefonica, Alcatel-Lucent has also recently announced a new commitment to the virtualization strategy of its own product portfolio.Key Facts:
- Using Alcatel-Lucent's CloudBand platform, the co-development program with Telefonica will define NFV-evolved architectures, identify and test different NFV scenarios and environments.
- Alcatel-Lucent and Telefonica will create a joint NFV research facility, sharing resources, experts and technology to develop, test and validate a network functions virtualization execution platform as part of their shared NFV vision.
- The agreement involves joint investment, certification programs, engagement with other service providers and eventually participation in field trials. The agreement includes also the common research and definition of virtual RAN architectures.
- As The Shift Plan industrially repositions Alcatel-Lucent as a specialist vendor of IP, cloud and ultra-broadband access, the agreement with Telefonica underlines the operator's endorsement of this strategic direction, and the value it will bring to operators and service providers.

On reading again, you do have suggestions on how you would deal with

Scummit County
John and John sat sippin' on the rails. John told of his son in the military. He had been in the military too, deployed to Beirut in the early eighties, though his skinny frame didn't reveal much battlefield experience, and I figured the doughnut holes he was eating wouldn't help. John, on the other hand, spoke with a near whisper through his hand about a court case he's currently enduring. "Takin' it all the way," he kept saying. Though quiet, rage roared with each word. "Because I'm on the street. Because I'm scum," that's why the cops treated him as they did.
Will, 23 years, waited like others for his disability to come through. With a backlog that's as long as a library queue waiting for the next Harry Potter, disability checks are delayed months. As a child, Will was abused by foster parents, until he finally ran. Because of the pounding he took as a kid, he can't hear from one ear and has brain damage.
Pictured is Kevin. We hadn't seen him for a long time.

This practice [reusing syrings and needles] has been shown to transmit infections. Because there can be a small amount of blood that remains in syringes and needles after an injection through an IV line, there is a risk of spread of bloodborne viruses, such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, between patients."
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
The department said in a statement that Stein repeatedly used needles and syringes on multiple patients at his oral surgery and dental implant clinics, violating the standard medical protocol.
In the letters to the patients, the health officials asked them to be tested for diseases including hepatitis B, hepatitis C human or HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, said Jan Stapleman, the health department spokeswoman.
