Physical Description
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are large birds, measuring 45 to 50 centimeters in length. Their average weight is 800 grams. Sulphur-crested cockatoos are white with a distinctive sulphur-yellow crest which can be erected or held folded down on top of head. The underside of their wings and tail is pale yellow. Females and males are similar in appearance (monomorphic); however, females can be identified at close range by their red tinted brown eyes, whereas males have darker brown eyes. There are four subspecies of sulphur-crested cockatoos. Cacatua galerita fitzroyi differs from C. g. galerita in having a pale blue eye ring instead of white, the yellow feathers are slightly darker, and the crest feathers are longer. Cacatua galerita eleonora and C. g. triton both average smaller in overall size than C. g. galerita.

- Terrestrial
Found in variety of forest areas such as secondary growth, woodland (including swamp and riverine), mangroves, open country, agricultural land (including rice fields and palm plantations), savanna, mallee and suburban areas. Found up to 1500m in parts of Australia, 2400m in Papua New Guinea.
Trophic Strategy
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are primarily granivores in the wild, feeding both on the ground and in trees. They feed mainly on seeds, nuts, fruits, blossoms, insects and insect larvae. They will also attack newly planted and ripening grain crops.
In captivity, C. galerita are mainly fed a diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, pellets, legumes and grains. They have a high rate of obesity so high fat foods such as peanuts and seeds are fed sparingly.
Animal Foods: insects
Plant Foods: seeds, grains, and nuts; fruit; flowers
Primary Diet: herbivore (Frugivore , Granivore )
Forages on grasses and herbs. May take sprouting maize and wheat. Also feeds on harmful weeds such as cotton thistle. Other foods include: roots, rhizomes, nuts, berries, flowers, corms, blossoms and insect larvae.
The role of sulphur-crested cockatoos in the ecosystems they inhabit is not well documented. They feed on seeds and nuts and may play a role in seed dispersal.
Ecosystem Impact: disperses seeds
Sulphur-crested cockatoos have one primary method of detecting and avoiding predators. When feeding, a few 'sentinel' birds will perch in a tree looking out for predators. They unleash their deafening warning call when a potential predator is sighted. Their large size also protects them from predation by all but the largest birds of prey.
During the incubation period and 6 to 10 weeks thereafter, both parent birds are intentionally very quiet in order not to attract predators to their nest.
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are known to be preyed on by powerful owls (Ninox strenua). Goannas (Varanus) are also potential predators of birds on the ground, fledglings, and nestlings. Other potential predators include common avian nest predators such as pied currawongs (Strepera graculina), butcherbirds (Cracticus), and ravens.
Known Predators:
- powerful owls (Ninox strenua)
Life History and Behavior
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are noisy birds. Their primary method of communication is their screeching voices. They also use their crest to communicate emotion. They will raise and spread their magnificent crests when excited, such as when danger is detected or during mating.
Communication Channels: visual ; acoustic
Other Communication Modes: mimicry
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Life Expectancy
Sulphur-crested cockatoos can live for decades in the wild. Average lifespan is about 40 years, but they can live up to 100 years. In captivity, sulphur-crested cockatoos that are well-cared for can live for 65 years on average and up to 120 years.

Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are monogamous birds. Signs of courtship include raising of the crest, bobbing of the head, and moving the head from side to side in a figure-of-eight pattern while uttering soft chattering notes. Before mating, the birds usually preen each other's plumage.
Mating System: monogamous
In the northern parts of their range, sulphur-crested cockatoos breed from May to September, whereas birds in the southern parts of their range breed from August to January. They generally nest in a high tree hollow, usually near water. They breed once yearly, producing a clutch containing 2 to 3 white oval eggs. Eggs hatch after an incubation period of 27 to 30 days. Fledging generally occurs at approximately 70 days. Offspring will leave the nest after this 70 day period but will remain with the parents year round. Family units will remain together indefinitely. Both male and female Cacatua galerita reach reproductive maturity around the age of 3 to 4 years.
Breeding interval: Sulphur crested cockatoos breed once yearly.
Breeding season: Sulphur-crested cockatoos breed between August and January in the southern parts of their range and between May and September in the northern parts of their range.
Range eggs per season: 2 to 3.
Average time to hatching: 27 days.

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Sulphur-crested cockatoos can be so numerous in crop growing areas that they are often shot or poisoned as pests. Government permit is required, though, as they are a protected species under the Australian Commonwealth Law. Aside from crops, they can also be harmful to wooden structures and ornamental trees as they chew and rip at timber on houses and tree limbs.
Negative Impacts: crop pest
Sulphur-crested cockatoos are popular pets and companion birds. Their yellow feathers have been used in ceremonial headdresses.
Positive Impacts: pet trade ; ecotourism
Sulphur-crested cockatoo
The sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) is a relatively large white cockatoo found in wooded habitats in Australia and New Guinea and some of the islands of Indonesia. They can be locally very numerous, leading to them sometimes being considered pests. They are well known in aviculture, although they can be demanding pets.
In Australia, sulphur-crested cockatoos can be found widely in the north and east, ranging as far south as Tasmania, but avoiding arid inland areas with few trees. They are numerous in suburban habitats in cities such as Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Brisbane. Except for highland areas, they occur throughout most of New Guinea and on nearby smaller islands such as Waigeo, Misool and Aru, and various islands in the Cenderawasih Bay and Milne Bay.
There are four recognised subspecies;
- Tritons cockatoo, C. g. triton (Temminck, 1849) is found in New Guinea and the surrounding islands,
- Eleonora cockatoo, C. g. elenora (Finsch, 1867) is restricted to the Aru Islands between Australia and New Guinea,
- Mathews cockatoo, C. g. fitzroyi (Mathews, 1912) in northern Australia from West Australia to the Gulf of Carpentaria
- and the nominate subspecies, the greater sulphur-crested cockatoo, C. g. galerita which is found from Cape York to Tasmania.[2]
Introduced species[edit]
Within Australia, sulphur-crested cockatoos of the nominate race have also been introduced to Perth, which is far outside the natural range. Outside Australia, they have been introduced to Singapore, where their numbers have been estimated to be between 500 and 2000. They have also been introduced to Palau and New Zealand. In New Zealand the introduced populations may number less than 1000. This species has also been recorded as established in Hawaii and from various islands in Wallacea (e.g. Kai Islands and Ambon), but it is unclear if it has managed to become established there.
It has a total length of 44–55 cm (17–22 in), with the Australian subspecies larger than subspecies from New Guinea and nearby islands. The plumage is overall white, while the underwing and -tail are tinged yellow. The expressive crest is yellow. The bill is black, the legs are grey, and the eye-ring is whitish. Males typically have almost black eyes, whereas the females have a more red or brown eye, but this require optimum viewing conditions to be seen. The differences between the subspecies are subtle. C. g. fitzroyi is similar to the nominate race but lacks the yellow on the ear tufts and slightly blueish skin around the eye. C. g. eleonora is similar to C. g. fitzroyi but is smaller and has broader feathers in the crest, and C. g. triton is similar to C. g. eleonora except it has a smaller bill.[2]
It is similar in appearance to the three species of corellas found in Australia. However, corellas are smaller, lack the prominent yellow crest and have pale bills. In captivity, the sulphur-crested cockatoo is easily confused with the smaller yellow-crested cockatoo or the blue-eyed cockatoo with a differently shaped crest and a darker blue eye-ring.
Their distinctive raucous call can be very loud; it is adapted to travel through the forest environments in which they live, including tropical and subtropical rainforests. These birds are naturally curious, as well as very intelligent. They have adapted very well to European settlement in Australia and live in many urban areas.
These birds are very long-lived, and can live upwards of 70 years in captivity,[3][4] although they only live to about 20–40 years in the wild. They have been known to engage in geophagy, the process of eating clay to detoxify their food. These birds produce a very fine powder to waterproof themselves instead of oil as many other creatures do.
The sulphur-crested cockatoo is a seasonal breeder in Australia, little is known about its breeding behaviour in New Guinea. In southern Australia the breeding season is from August to January, whereas in northern Australia the season is from May to September.[2] The nest is a bed of wood chips in a hollow in a tree. Like many other parrots it competes with others of its species and with other species on nesting sites.[5] Two to three eggs are laid and incubation lasts between 25–27 days. Both parents incubate the eggs and raise the nestlings. The nestling period is between 9 to 12 weeks, and the young fledglings remain with their parents for a number of months after fledging.[2]
A 2009 study involving an Eleonora cockatoo (the subspecies Cacatua galerita eleonora) named Snowball found that sulphur-crested cockatoos are capable of synchronising movements to a musical beat.[6][7]
Species that feed on the ground are very vulnerable to predator attack. The cockatoo has evolved a behavioural adaptation to protect against this: whenever there is a flock on the ground, there is at least one high up in a tree (usually a dead tree), keeping guard. This is so well known that it has even entered Australian slang: a person keeping guard for sudden police raids on illegal gambling gatherings is referred to as a cockatoo or cocky for short.
Pest status[edit]
In some parts of Australia, the sulphur-crested cockatoo can be very numerous, and may cause damage to cereal and fruit crops, newly planted tree seedling, and soft timber on houses and outdoor furniture.[8] Consequently, they are sometimes shot or poisoned as pests. Government permit is required, as they are a protected species under the Australian Commonwealth Law.
Sulphur-crested cockatoos may no longer be imported into the United States as a result of the Wild Bird Conservation Act (WBCA).[9] However, they have been bred in captivity. They are demanding pets, being very loud and having a natural desire to chew wood and other hard and organic materials.
One cockatoo called Fred was still alive at 100 years of age in 2014.[10] Cocky Bennett of Tom Ugly's Point in Sydney was a celebrated sulphur-crested cockatoo who reached an age of 100 years or more. He had lost his feathers and was naked for much of his life, and died in the early years of the twentieth century. His body was stuffed and preserved after death.[11] Another 'cocky', born in 1921 and residing in Arncliffe with his owner Charlie Knighton, was 76 years old in the late 1990s.[3]
Sulphur-crested cockatoos, along with many other parrots, are susceptible to psittacine beak and feather disease, a viral disease, which causes birds to lose their feathers and grow grotesquely shaped beaks. The disease occurs naturally in the wild,[12] and in captivity.[13]

Avril Lavigne
Before she became the anti-Hilary Duff, Avril Lavigne was your average Canadian kid, getting in fights in the hockey rink, making extra cash as a lawn landscaper and teaching herself how to play guitar. Her first manager discovered her singing at 14 in a bookstore. At 15, she won the chance to sing a duet with Shania Twain at one of her stadium shows in a radio contest. By 16, she was signed to a $1.25 million contract by L.A. Reid, had dropped out of high school and moved to New York to record. Although she was first imagined as a country star, pop punk rock would become her signature sound and it was masterfully showcased on her 2002 debut Let Go, which included singles "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi," sold more than 13 million copies and earned her five Grammy nods. She released her sophomore effort, Under My Skin, in 2004, the same year that she took her relationship with Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley. They were engaged a year later in Venice, married in July 2006 in Montecito, Calif., and filed for divorced in 2009. He still worked with her on fourth album Pink Crust. Lavigne has occasionally acted as well. She voiced an opossum in "Over The Hedge" and made her feature debut in 2006's "Fast Food Nation." Following two years as "Hills" star Brody Jenner's "Girlfriend," she was swept off her feet and down the aisle by Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger, who proposed after a six-month courtship. They married in July 2013.

The oyster aquaculture industry in southeastern Massachusetts primarily grows product using "bottom gear" which includes cages,
Potential benefits of growing oysters higher in the water column are greater access to plankton, greater distance from benthic predators,
warmer water temperatures, and ease of access in deep water growing areas.
In addition, surface gear can be periodically overturned, exposing oysters and gear to help reduce fouling. Some floating gear types can also be submerged to the bottom in anticipation of storm events or winter ice.
For these reasons oyster growers in the region became interested in this type of gear, and a comparison of bottom and floating gear was initiated through the Research Farm Network (RFN).
This bulletin addresses the results of that study and several research questions posed during it.

EWCM question
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 06-21-2007 - 3:07pm
I have been thinking PPAF will arrive for months now...but have not ovulated since dd (she is now 2!)I have reluctantly stopped bf (3 weeks ago now) and thought I ovulated yesterday...but my abundant "EWCM" was yellow and not all clear. Does this mean it was not EWCM?
Also, my temp this morning was down from 36.9 to 36.5. Does anyone understand the significance of this? I suppose if there is no upward thermal shift there is no question of having ovulated or conceived?
|Thu, 06-21-2007 - 6:33pm
Hi Torielle:
I'm not sure if the yellowish cm means anything, maybe it's just your cycle trying to kick in. Have you tried any of the OPK's?? Since you might be a bit irregular for a while, that might really help you to know exactly when you are ovulating. I recently learned from another thread that they even have ovulation monitors that really take the guess work out of it. They are fairly expensive though. Someone recommended going on the Clear Blue Easy Web site. I haven't looked it up yet.
I don't know about the drop in temp accept that I know mine varies quite a bit from day to day and I think it's just the thermometer??
Hopefully someone else will chime in with some more info for you.
|Fri, 06-22-2007 - 4:25am
The people over at the Fertility Charting board might be one of the best resources, or you can sign up at Fertility Friend and get all sorts of support there.
|Fri, 06-22-2007 - 4:48am
I am charting but not recording it online. I will try to start again so I can consult the experts.
Where can I find the Fertility charting board?
It's funny, because for months my temp was about36.8 to 37.1 and for the past 4 mornings it has been 36.5 or 36.6.
I havent yet discovered where to buy opks over here (I live in Luxembourg, Europe and we dont get the same online service as in the States.
Thanks for the advice

HTC One E8 vs HTC One M8: camera comparison
State of the Union
Recently, HTC announced the One E8 -- a near-identical, but plastic version of the One M8 with a different, more-orthodox 13-megapixel camera. We instantly saw an opportunity to put the two to the test in order to see what happens, and that's what we did.

Um, I'd go E8 in a heartbeat over M8.
YMMV of course.
Now, make the E8 in black soft touch matte finish like old OneXLs, and you've a sweet phone again HTC.

HTC purposely made this E8's camera bad or inferior than other 13MPs. To show M8's camera is better.
5. Retro-touch (Posts: 264; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Yeah they used the same sensor as the One Mini 2 on the E8. It's poor on their part cause despite having good phones they will end up being synonymous with crappy cameras. The M8 simply cannot compete with current flagships, in fact it can't compete with 2013 and 2012 flagships. Ultrapixel are a nice gimmick but they should put a great 13 or 16MP camera and they will have the best all around phone

haha.. you dont even know m8 cam.. its superb duperb cam. better than s5 and xperia z3.
dont misguide people. People love m8 cam. your comments cant misguide them but if u try to misguide them they will say you an .........

gimme m8 with 13mpx camera, lol
4. pulkit1 (Posts: 344; Member since: 03 Jul 2014)
both are bad but i would go with e8 because of more detail rest could be improves with snapseed noise would still be a problem . phonearena should have included the pictures of actual scene also.
6. Noble_One (Posts: 58; Member since: 18 Aug 2012)
I could be wrong but part of me feels like the 4mp ultapixel nonsense is masking a cost cutting measure...why else would they knowingly put a better sensor in the lower production cost handset?
9. CyberFalcon (Posts: 172; Member since: 17 Apr 2014)
my thought is they had too many ultra pixels in stock that s y they had to use the same bs in their new phone.
any ways HTC said that it ll upgrade to a new camera next year...
so i am eagerly waiting for it.

If there is any reason why I dislike d HTC one m8 it's d use of the ultra pixel, this useless ultra bull***t was meant to take good piks even @ low light but it ends up having the worse piks @ low light & worst @ bright light.
Am a good fan of the HTC but I think I've got 2 stick to my HTC ONE m7 until the HTC ONE m9 is out with a better camera tech
10. jellmoo (Posts: 704; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Up next, PA pits the camera of the M8 up against a potato. Finally a fight the M8 can win, or is this spud full of surprises?
11. Adi87 (Posts: 7; Member since: 24 Jul 2014)
They are using the same strategy which apple used by launching Apple 5c alongside 5s..!!!
In order to prove that M8 is much superior quality phone..!!! (The truth)
13. Rain017 (Posts: 23; Member since: 11 Jul 2014)
i think m8 is better its just that its struggles with direct light or sunlight exposure but over all i find htc one m8 better colour reproduction clarity and even low light shots its just that it tends to be grainy the camera of e8 has better detail but aside from that nothing more
16. dimitrisantoniou (Posts: 7; Member since: 31 Jul 2014)
Well, we can say that the resolution of the ulrapixel camera is tragic but we can't say that the one m8 isn't a great camera phone. It is better than the e8 as it has a more bright camera, it packs a great duo camera effect and I think that the e8 is a great cameraphone but m8 is much better.

They should have made the 13mp+2mp for quick focus etc on the rear, then the 4UP for the front facing cam. That way they still can get rid of that 4UP stock

with the utmost respect and trying to be totally professional here but I've been reading your updates since the HTC One m8 was released. now compare overall performance & htc is the powerhouse I've compared it with the Samsung Galaxy s5 also with the LG g3 I'm a big LG fan & was hoping to go with the G 3 but due to the QHD screen it seems to lag a bit in performance up close and personal against the HTC One m8 as the galaxy s5 stands behind the pack.I don't know why but your site has held a prejudice against HTC and has knocked there devices any chance they get you stand opposite to every other site that I read even looking at your camera comparison what to e8 vs m8 I see that you zoomed in more for focus with the E8 shoots from a further distance with the M8. please give us unbiased results take a look at what defines the ultrapixel & some of the features HTC included with there camera, why no mention of any of this? play around with the m8 check the user interface see how it plays games streams movies compared to these other devices now if you're a big big camera guy and that's why you buy your phone you're probably better off with a different one. But I don't think you have ever spent a day with the HTC M8. Cause if you want an all out powerhouse second to none in performance HTC M7 & M8 can't be touched not until the QSD 805 comes out but then HTC will be prepared for that also I really like your site enjoy reading your updates on pretty much all the phones but please try to be a little more honest with the results don't manipulate your fans to follow your winner. take a look at other sites HTC One m8 is still number one on 8 out of 10 sites out there by users and expert choice & I can back all this up with comparisons to prove this right here at Fandroidtechs.blogspot.com
19. Rain017 (Posts: 23; Member since: 11 Jul 2014)
yeah i agree i used z2 for 13days but its kinda laggy and tends to overheat and forced closed the camera app happens if you take a lot of pics. i changed it to M89returned it to my carrier) at first i thought that the camera sucks but when i used it reviews coming from other sites esp. PA is blows out of proportion they focus so much in detail they haven't even manually set up the settings and save it as a custom then try to use the camera again the detail could have been better but the Ultrapixel and the lowlight shots are one of the best I've seen its not perfect but few tweaks can alter some problems such as Over exposure or Under exposure in the broad daylight
20. tusharxxx (Posts: 1; Member since: 04 Aug 2014)
Here, E8 is getting some yellow tinge(I haven't used the phone so don't know).......
And M8 is getting noticeable blue tinge (which is not present in my asian M8 , it might be your device's specific problem or may be difference in settings)
And my M8 captures decent pics when shown on its own screen.........People having GS4 always take my M8 to take photos.......It's way better on its own screen.
21. alexvv (Posts: 101; Member since: 16 Oct 2013)
the problem was not the ultrapixel camera solution itself but the fact that it needed more mp, at least 7 or 8 and a good ois. but htc refused to answer. it's still a camera which is better than most in low light.

Ubuntu, Nearly worthy of all the hype!
In the end, I can honestly say that Ubuntu seems to be worthy of much of it's hype. It really is a solid, reliable and easy to use desktop Linux. Once the installer has been simplified and if the Ubuntu team addresses the multi-media issues, it may well be worthy of all of the hype.
And I still stand by my original view that it is easily one of the best Gnome implementations I have encountered.

Triad Local Schools: Successful learning today…productive living tomorrow
Triad Local Schools will:
Provide a safe, non-threatening learning environment Provide access to rigorous
curriculum through differentiated instruction.
Provide opportunities for social development Develop the ability to problem solve
individually and cooperatively.
Equip students with the skills and strategies to achieve their potential
Cardinal Country,
It's the time of year for us all to remember what we are thankful for and there is much on my list. I continue to learn each day about our district and our community and I have been blessed to have the help and support of many wonderful people along the way these first few months.
I'm thankful for the students who come to school each day willing to try and ready to learn. I'm thankful for the parents who help them (and make them) do their homework each night and who get them dressed, feed them a good breakfast, and get them out the door on time.
I'm thankful for the teachers who greet them with a rigorous lesson and a smile each day. Their high expectations and personal support help our students prepare for a bright future. I'm thankful for the administrators, cooks, custodians, bus drivers and many others who support our teachers and our students. Without them, learning would be impossible.
I'm very thankful for all of the support and assistance that I have received from our staff, parents and community members as we work to move Triad forward and provide the best learning opportunities for our students.
Thank you for your support of
OUR kids
OUR schools
OUR community

Shooting suspect arrested
Police have arrested a suspect in last Saturday's shooting outside a Southeast Portland nightclub.
No one was hurt in the incident.
Michael Stockton, 31, was arrested on May 14 at his place of employment without incident and booked into the Multnomah County Jail on two counts of Attempted Aggravated Murder, one count of Attempted Murder, three counts of Attempted Assault in the First Degree, and one count of Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
According to police, at approximately 12:34 a.m. on May 10, East Precinct officers responded to the report of gunshots being fired in the parking lot of the Fortune Star Lounge, located at 15920 Southeast Division Street.
When the officers arrived, they contacted several people who had been standing outside the lounge at the time of the shooting. Investigators learned from witnesses that the suspect fired multiple rounds from his vehicle and then sped out of the area.
The suspect vehicle was located and towed by officers from the Gresham Police Department the next day. Follow-up investigation by detectives led to the identification Stockton as the suspect in the shooting.
This investigation is continuing and anyone with information is encouraged to contact Det. Arjay Dran at (503) 823-0483, firstname.lastname@example.com.

For those of you who have moved to or from the Lakewood/Golden area recently, how would you say the cost of living is, and to what are you comparing it?
I have a job offer, and quite frankly I really want to take it. It's way below where the offer should be however. While it's still a raise, I'm not sure it's something I could do, and I want to know firsthand what it's like living in this area (how much it costs).
These questions are vague, I know. But you can extrapolate what I'm asking, I think, and sort of give me general answers... for example, could a couple both making minimum wage (guess it's 7.02/hr) really live in this area? If not, what would YOU say it would take (per hour, or per year, whichever you know).
I really would love to move. Me and my 4 bikes are begging to. I'm sure I can make it work, but I don't especially want to go from comfortable living (relatively speaking) to abject poverty, just to get close to these trails and roads.

Under The Glass Moon, Volume 2
TokyoPop, Sep 16, 2003 - Comics & Graphic Novels - 192 pages
Luka Reinhardt is the 21st century's greatest Dark Wizard. He and his bookish brother, Luel, live next door to a pair of witches named Madame Batolli and Nell. Both witches fall for Luka's good looks and ignore Luel's feeble advances without a second thought. it's more than a love triangle--it's a love pentagram, especially when Luel's old flame, Sage, shows up. As if that weren't enough magical mayhem, things get a bit heated when Neo, Luka's overzealous apprentice, unleashes Efreet, a wrathful fire spirit.

Project involves $12.2 million and seven universities
Seven universities have $12.2 million in economic stimulus law funds to create a "Facebook for scientists" network for researchers.
The project is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health to create a system that contains publicly-available information that can be searched for specific data and linkages.
At Indiana University, one of the schools involved, the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center will conduct research and development on data analysis and visualization, ontology development and Vivo, a networking template, according to a news release today. "Many researchers have profiles and evolving networks on multiple, but incompatible, sites. They try to use Facebook and Google for their research; however, these tools and services do not completely address the needs of scholars," Katy Börner, director of the cyberinfrastructure center, said.
The new system will federate information about faculty and staff from institutional repositories, listings of published articles from academic publishers, and information provided by researchers. Using Vivo, users can search the information and assemble it on a unique page.
The other six schools are Cornell University, University of Florida, Weill Cornell Medical College, Washington University in St. Louis, the Scripps Research Institute and the Ponce School of Medicine in Puerto Rico.
A "Facebook for government" site known as GovLoop, was recently sold after enrolling nearly 20,000 members.

Historical - Resorts and Lodges in Colorado
If you are looking for a destination that provides a little history to go along with amazing views, Colorado is the perfect option. Head to Durango and book a night at Colorado Trail Ranch, a dude ranch that initially started as a single barn in 1912. The Tumbling River Ranch features the Ranch House and the Pueblo House, two buildings that were built during the 1920's. If buildings on the National Register of Historic Places pique your interest, check out Trailhead Lodge in Steamboat Springs. The lodge features two buildings that were built in the 1930's including The Crawford House and the Christian Science Society.
Breckenridge was founded during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of 1859 and still proudly displays its prospecting history. Though the gold mines around Breckenridge are all shut down, many offer guided tours. In fact, the gravel ridges left by the gold dredges can still be seen along the Blue River!

Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi apart, Google search trends unveil other top issues on Indian voters minds
Tue Mar 04 2014, 12:20 hrs
While Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, among others, slug it out on the political stage, what other issues are playing on the Indian voters' minds as the Lok Sabha elections approach is somewhat unclear. Google Trends provides a peek into that very nebulous area via its search index. Google search trends over the last three months (weve taken three months to show consistency in search trend results by eliminating trends of shorter time durations) reveals interesting insights into some key issues that have dominated headlines recently and continue to remain top-of-mind. (AP)
Corruption remains the most searched topic on Google Search Trends and the Jan Lokpal and issues around it remain the most searched topic based on recent consumer interest. When looking at the overall trend for corruption, the issue of Black Money is also a topic that features prominently in this list. (AP)
While on corruption its interesting to note that even after almost 3 years, the Adarsh Housing Society scam continues to dominate search trends where its been the most searched among scams for the last 3 months. (AP)
The 2G scam is also high on that list, closely followed by the Coal Gate scam. Trends reveal that these remain high in voters minds (AP)
Riots have been an unfortunate part of Indias evolving socio-political history and have understandably affected the national conscience. This is consequently reflected in search trends being high with regards to the 1984 Sikh riots following the recent interview by Congress VP Rahul Gandhi. The 2002 Gujarat Riots followed by the Muzzafarnagar Riots in Uttar Pradesh were other tragic incidents that take center-stage on Google Search Trends. (AP)
Other recent political developments that have been driving search trend results include Rahul Gandhis recent (and first) TV Interview while the Aam Aadmi Partys (AAP) recent win in Delhi shows the highest search trends. (AP)
Among government schemes for the Aam Aadmi (common man), NREGA is the most searched topic followed by the Right to Information (RTI) (under legislative issues). The Food Security Bill, the Land Acquisition Bill, the Sexual Violence Bill, the Telengana State Bill and the Women Reservation Bill also show significant online interest and therefore reflect themselves prominently in search trend data. (AP)
