Citing various recent research, Vox's Joseph Stromberg extols the benefits of the coffee nap. "So if you nap for those 20 minutes, you'll reduce your levels of adenosine just in time for the caffeine to kick in. The caffeine will have less adenosine to compete with, and will thereby be even more effective in making you alert." And just imagine how much more fulfilling a Red Bull-Guinness-Coffee-Nap would be.
What DCist said. Sorry if this 3.3MB file just crashed your browser, but, c'mon now, this is the First Lady dunking on LeBron — kind of the thing GIFs were made for. Enjoy — preferably with a Subway $5 Footlong, since they could use some love now that the crazies have declared a jihad on them, for all the usual reasons.
Better living through chemistry: The NYT's Gretchen Reynolds touts the potential medical benefits of caffeine addiction. "Participants with little or no caffeine circulating in their bloodstreams were far more likely to have progressed to full-blown Alzheimer's than those whose blood indicated they'd had about three cups' worth of caffeine." Factor in all the taurine I consume to boot, and I'm disco.
The Land of Chocolate? Astronomers find sugar molecules orbiting young star IRAS 16293-2422, 400 light years away. "'A big question is: how complex can these molecules become before they are incorporated into new planets?' Jørgensen said. "This could tell us something about how life might arise elsewhere, and ALMA observations are going to be vital to unravel this mystery.'"
In honor of President Obama reconnecting with his Irish ancestry in Moneygall, Slate's Maura Kelly explains why Guinness tastes better in Eire. Hey, it tastes pretty good here too.
Two new studies find a correlation between intelligence and a thirst for alcohol. Hey, I buy it – Thank you, science, for lending support to my vices! And, as Bogey said, "The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind."
So happy 250th, and Slainte to you and yours. May you all have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a road downhill all the way to home.
"With Perlow's Mail Goggles, users can specify which hours they would like to enable the feature. If a user tries to send an e-mail during the self-selected time — say, midnight to 3 a.m. — a screen pops up forcing the user to solve a series of simple math problems before the message can be sent." Thinking outside the box for new and useful apps, Gmail engineers try to tackle the thorny problem of drailing (drunk e-mailing.) "Perlow created the function last fall when he found himself sending messages to an ex-girlfriend — late at night — asking to get back together." I feel you, brother.
Her 41 supermarket moment? As if I needed another reason not to vote Clinton: Though she may knock back boilermakers like us regular joes, the Senator has in fact never heard of Red Bull, the fantabulously addictive breakfast beverage which more often than not constitutes the best moment of my day. (This also means Clinton has lost another excuse for voicing her obliteration-happy nuclear ambitions last week…It wasn't the taurine talking.)
In other key findings: "Her fantasy date would be with President Abraham Lincoln [to which Sybil says back off!] She refused to choose between comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, said she likes both wine and beer, and wouldn't select either 'American Idol' or 'Dancing With the Stars'; she said her mother — who lives with the Clintons — keeps her up to speed on both programs." (The answers, as everyone not running for office knows, is Fey, beer, and neither — both are garbage, not that I'd expect someone who prefers Grey's Anatomy to The Wire (as per Obama) and spends her free time trying to ban Grand Theft Auto to pick up on that.)
"Caffeine is the most widely used stimulant in the world, but few use it to maximal advantage. Get optimally wired with these tips." By way of Follow Me Here and for fellow addicts, Developing Intelligence offers ways to maximize one's caffeine boost. "1) Consume in small, frequent amounts. Between 20-200mg per hour may be an optimal dose for cognitive function."
"We have to realize that we are already living in a society where we are already self-medicating with caffeine." This one's been languishing in the bookmarks for awhile, but via Drudge and blog-twin FmH, scientists may have discovered a cure for sleep deprivation in Orexin A. "The study, published in the Dec. 26 edition of The Journal of Neuroscience, found orexin A not only restored monkeys' cognitive abilities but made their brains look 'awake' in PET scans. Siegel said that orexin A is unique in that it only had an impact on sleepy monkeys, not alert ones, and that it is 'specific in reversing the effects of sleepiness' without other impacts on the brain." But is it cheaper than my daily Red Bull?
"I really like my bacon crispy, but I fear it will get burnt too easily. That's a risk we all take. The price of great bacon is eternal vigilance." As seen at Looka recently, a very handy bacon decisionmaking flowchart. Hooray for bacon!
"But even those who hailed absinthe saw unsettling shadows. Wilde explained: 'After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see them as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.'" In the NYT, critic Edward Rothstein sings the praises and surveys the notoriety of "the green muse," absinthe, which is apparently making a legal comeback both here and in the EU. "Absinthe was the premier bohemian drink, as inseparable from the avant-garde of mid-19th-century Paris as was scorn the bourgeoisie. It played the role well; absinthe helped overturn that bourgeois world with seductive visions of another."
Beer for dogs. Glad we finally got that one sorted out.

As for the lying, what sort of lieing, how do you know, etc.? I would again sit down and talk about the importance of honestly and trust, and then discipline appropriately and stick with it, for example, if she lies about doing having homework, or having it done, and then either not turning it in, getting a zero, etc., then requiring her to sit down and do it as soon as she gets home from school with your supervision may be appropriate. Or if she's lying about going somewhere after school, then the punishment would be to have her come straight home afterschool with no friend time. Making the punishment fit the crime works much more appropriately at this age. Hugs!

I think the most effective parenting is in the middle--not overly strict and not overly lenient. obviously you're not just going to let her do whatever she wants at 12 but also being one of those parents who just "forbids" things doesn't really work either. I would think about why she lies--my former DSD lied a lot because she didn't want to ge in trouble, but it sure would have been a lot easier for her if she just did what she was supposed to do because the rules weren't anything abnormal--she just compounded getting in trouble by lying about things that could easily be found out. My kids always felt that they could tell me things because I wouldn't "flip out" even if they told me they had done something I didn't like--I'd try to take it in w/o reacting and talk about it later.
Now as far as having a BF, she's 12--she can't go out on dates if you don't let her. But everybody says they have a BF, which really just means at this age that they like a boy and by next week it will probably be someone different. so don't get all worked up about her just saying she has a BF--ask her what that means to her, why she likes him, etc. Just tell her that you think she's too young to be gonig on dates at that age, so for now they will just have to be confined to liking each other in school and at school activities or something chaperoned by you.

I agree with others that you need to understand what she means by "boyfriend." It can mean anything from "we like each other but barely talk to each other" to the beginnings of physical intimacy. FIND OUT.
I am a little more concerned with your "putting on" of parenting styles. Parenting is all about consistency. If you're not consistent, then there are no boundaries. Your parenting style should flow from you & your DH's shared values, not a "style of the moment" to see "what works."

Preservationists oppose change to USPS NEPA regulations on property disposal
February 14, 2014
A coalition of historic preservationists and citizen groups has filed comments opposing a change in the Postal Service's NEPA regulations that would make it easier to dispose of historic post offices. The coalition includes the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Post Office Collaborate, the La Jolla Historical Society, the California Preservation Foundation, the Los Angeles Conservancy, and the City of Berkeley. The coalition's letter to the Postal Service is here.
The letter comes in response to the Interim Final Rule that the Postal Service published in the Federal Register on January 13. The rule change concerns a revision of 39 CFR Part 775, the section of the federal regulations that deals with procedures for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The rule change expands the scope of the Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) in a way that makes it less likely the Postal Service would need to a full Environmental Assessment or an Environmental Impact Statement when it disposes of its properties. The aim of the change is to make it easier to sell post offices. The Postal Service would not need to worry about hiring consultants to do an environmental review, providing opportunity for a lot of public participation, sharing the administrative record with the public, and following similar requirements that could slow down the sale or prevent it altogether.
By publishing an "interim final rule" rather than simply an "interim rule," the Postal Service has already skipped a step where the public could have commented on the rule change before it was implemented. Instead, the Postal Service made the effective date of the rule change the same day that it published the notice in the Federal Register. The notice invites comments, but it's not likely they'll do any good. The Postal Service says it will review any adverse comments it receives and then publish a final rule with its responses to the comments and any modifications it finds necessary.
The Postal Service apparently believed it was appropriate to implement the rule change before receiving comments because, as it states in the interim final rule, it does not believe the proposed revision "should be significant or controversial."
But nothing could be further from the truth: The proposed change is extremely significant and controversial, as laid out in the coalition's letter. It begins as follows:
We are troubled by the abrupt notice of the change as we believe that retaining the current categorical exclusion (CATEX) in the Procedures is more consistent with NEPA's goal to "prevent or eliminate damage to the environment." Further, we strongly disagree with the assumption that this update should not be "significant or controversial." The revised rule will result in less public scrutiny of consequential decisions to sell the Nation's historic assets at a time of heightened public interest and should be rejected.
The letter goes on to identify several specific issues.
Premature motion: PRC dismisses bid to view non-public Amazon docs
February 13, 2014
Almost three months ago, I filed a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission seeking access to documents filed under seal in the docket that dealt with the Postal Service's deal with Amazon to deliver its parcels on Sundays. Last week, the PRC finally responded to the request.
The Commission ruled that my motion was "dismissed without prejudice" as being "premature," meaning I could resubmit the request again when the time was ripe — sometime next year. I was also advised to confer with the Postal Service and Amazon "in an effort to resolve the request for access in a mutually agreeable fashion." The Postal Service and Amazon had both filed briefs vehemently opposing my request, but somehow we were supposed to confer together and thereby "resolve the dispute without court action."
This seems like a strange way to respond to a request for access to non-public documents, and the whole story illustrates the disturbing lack of transparency in how the Postal Service conducts its business — and with PRC approval to boot.
The Senate puts the PRC in the backseat — or maybe not even in the car
February 9, 2014
On Thursday of this past week, the Senate held the second of two markup sessions on the postal reform bill, a.k.a. the manager's or substitute amendment, submitted by Senators Carper and Coburn. At the first session held the previous week, on January 29, a controversy arose over Section 301 of the proposed bill, which deals with postal rates and the role of the Postal Regulatory Commission. The controversy resumed on Thursday.
As originally proposed in the manager's amendment, Section 301 does several things. First, it takes the exigent rate increase that the PRC approved on a temporary basis and makes it the new base line. The bill thus essentially overturns the PRC's ruling in December and makes the 4.3 percent increase permanent, rather than limiting it to the time frame required to bring in $2.8 billion in profit (about 18 months to two years).
Section 301 also raises the current limit on annual rate increases from the CPI to the CPI plus one percent. That would all but guarantee higher annual rate increases over the next few years.
In addition to dealing with these two specific rate matters, Section 301 transfers much of the responsibility for setting postal rates in the future from the PRC to the Postal Board of Governors. The PRC's role would be reduced to reviewing the BOG's decision after the fact, rather than approving increases before they're implemented.
Finally, Section 301 gives the BOG the primary role in a 2017 rewrite of the ratemaking system. The PRC can have some input and it will be able to veto the revision, but that's about all.
As Senator Carper explained at Thursday's markup, he and Senator Coburn decided to give the PRC "a very minimal role in terms of actually deciding what that new rate structure would look like" in the 2017 rewrite. "We really put the Postal Service in the driver's seat. I don't even know if the PRC was in the car, but certainly the Postal Service was in the driver's seat." (video at 2:03:40)
Can it get much worse? The Senate tries postal reform, again
February 3, 2014
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs finally took up its postal reform bill at a markup session on Wednesday, January 29. The new S.1486 the committee took up is significantly different from the Carper-Coburn bill released last August. The current version, aka the substitute bill or the managers' amendment, has introduced changes to the rate system, regulatory oversight, and facility closings that are worth close scrutiny.
The leadership of the Postal Service has expressed satisfaction with the new substitute bill. No wonder. It reads like the fulfillment of PMG Donahoe's and the Board of Governor's wish list. It grants them new powers over ratemaking, adds language regarding contract negotiations favorable to management, and creates a separate postal employee health plan within the current Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP). The bill also addresses the retiree health benefit prefunding, while adding a new prefunding requirement for workman's compensation.
Whatever its final form, the postal reform bill that comes out of the Senate will represent the next step in a process that has been going on since the Postal Service was created in 1971. For the last forty years the leadership of the Postal Service has pursued a course that treats the postal network in terms of a corporate business model that simply provides a delivery service. Postal leaders do not seem much interested in the view of the postal system as basic national infrastructure that connects American homes and businesses with each other and with their government. They do not seem very committed to a broad vision of the universal service obligation. They do not seem to understand what our Founders grasped so clearly — the important role of the postal network as a fundamental element of democracy, furthering access to information and creating connections in a way that bound the nation together.

"The excesses of the recent past have made many question the very institutions — like banks, regulators, and capital markets — that make the system work. They see a system biased in favor of the very few at the expense of the great many. How do we find common ground and secure the blessings of the free market for us and our posterity?"
COMMIT!Forum session on "Crony Capitalism" October 2, 2012
Trust in the marketplace is at an all-time low. Formerly esteemed financial, government, and corporate institutions have become publicly reviled in recent years and viewed with great suspicion. The collapse of Enron in 2001, the bankruptcy of the 4th largest investment bank in the world, Lehman Brothers, and the seemingly endless parade of scandals that continue to follow have darkened the economic landscape for companies and executives who believe in doing business with integrity. All corporations have become suspect to increasingly pessimistic investors and consumers. Finding a way to inspire public and private confidence is the challenge for modern business leaders.
The session at the COMMIT!Forum on "Crony Capitalism" asked: How do we as corporate citizens and business leaders reverse this trend of corporate mistrust? David Jones, CEO of Havas, says that in today's transparent social media world, "Doing good business is good business." Yet how do we define "doing good business" in today's economy?
In the old days (pre 2008), "good business" was simply a numbers game. Meeting or exceeding your expected earnings, attracting new investment, generating huge profits was all that was required to be a good company. In the past four years, the market demands you do more: To be viewed as a good company, you must be a good company.
The emphasis on performing profitably still exists, yet corporate leaders are being asked to profit with accountability and transparency – not easy in the wake of a profits at any cost ethos. The bottom line is not triple anymore; it has become one integrated goal: profits with purpose. Purpose assumes that a company is acting responsibly toward the planet and people. That mandate includes environment sustainability, workplace equity, community outreach, and customer integrity.
Sustainability no longer simply applies to greening your business activities; it is an inclusive process of responsible management towards environment and society as a whole. Treating people well at the expense of the planet, or vice versa, no longer suffices. The transparent economy necessitates that companies accomplish both goals in the pursuit of profit.
What is the risk for a company if you don't act with integrity? The low volume of market investment and the lack of general economic liquidity answer that question. You risk losing substantial market share. The collapse of major financial institutions in recent years reminds leaders that the entire health of a company is at stake in the absence of transparency and accountability. This summer's LIBOR scandal reveals that it is only a matter of time before a company's misdoings are exposed.
The best policy is prevention. No matter how many laws are created to rein in an out-of-control corporate leadership, recent history shows that there will never be enough laws to stop bad behaviour. Someone will always think of clever ways around them. Good companies that are actually run well pay the highest price with the often onerous bureaucracy of complex and restrictive regulation. So where does that leave us as conscientious business leaders in today's economy?
It brings us back to a very old-fashioned concept: values-based business. Act your values; don't just talk about them. The common phrase: "Be the change you want to see in the world" applies to global corporations as well. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously declared, "Business is fundamentally based on trust." A decade later, his words rang profoundly true. Our society has paid a high price for ignoring this truth. Yet we can still reverse the trend by walking our talk.
The change comes from within. Individuals hold the key to that transformation. The mandate comes from top corporate leadership down and dictates the future of business. Every CEO and senior executive with a socially responsible conscience has the power to reverse the trend of failed business trust. Responsible leaders need to ask themselves, how do I want my company to be seen in the eyes of the public in five years, ten years? If you operate from integrity, you are half way there to achieving it.

Scientists discover a non-destructive yet effective way to screen bats in hibernation for white-nose syndrome
Scientists working to understand the devastating bat disease known as white-nose syndrome (WNS) now have a new, non-lethal tool to identify bats with WNS lesions —ultraviolet, or UV, light.
If long-wave UV light is directed at the wings of bats with white-nose syndrome, it produces a distinctive orange-yellow fluorescence. This orange-yellow glow corresponds directly with microscopic skin lesions that are the current "gold standard" for diagnosing white-nose syndrome in bats.
"When we first saw this fluorescence of a bat wing in a cave, we knew we were on to something," said Greg Turner from Pennsylvania Game Commission, who has been using this technique since 2010. "It was difficult to have to euthanize bats to diagnose WNS when the disease itself was killing so many. This was a way to get a good indication of which bats were infected and take a small biopsy for testing rather than sacrifice the whole bat."
Millions of bats in the United States have died from the fungal disease called White nose syndrome which is caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus (Geomyces) destructans (Pd). White-nose syndrome was first seen in New York during the winter of 2006. Since then, the disease has spread to 25 US states and 5 Canadian provinces.
A significant problem in studying WNS has been the unreliability of visual onsite inspection when checking for WNS in bats during hibernation; the only way to confirm presence of disease was to euthanize the bats and send them back to a laboratory for testing.
"Ultraviolet light was first used in 1925 to look for ringworm fungal infections in humans," said Carol Meteyer, USGS scientist and one of the lead authors on the paper. "The fact that this technique could be transferred to bats and have such remarkable precision for indicating lesions positive for Pd invasion is very exciting."
To test the UV light's effectiveness, bats with and without white-nose syndrome in North America were tested by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center, first using UV light, then using traditional histological techniques to verify the UV light's accuracy.
In the USGS lab testing, 98.8 percent of bats with the orange-yellow fluorescence tested positive for white-nose syndrome, whereas 100 percent of those that did not fluoresce tested negative for the disease. Targeted biopsies showed that pinpoint areas of fluorescence coincided with the microscopic wing lesions that are characteristic for WNS.
Researchers in the Czech Republic then tested the UV light-assisted biopsy technique in the field, using it to collect small samples from areas of bat wing that fluoresced under UV light. In this study, 95.5 percent of wing biopsies that targeted areas of fluorescence were microscopically positive for WNS lesions, while again 100 percent of bats that did not fluoresce were negative for WNS.
Combining research from two continents demonstrates that UV diagnostics might be applicable worldwide with great sensitivity and specificity in detecting WNS.
"Moreover, the technique hurts the animal minimally and bats fly away after providing data for research," said Natalia Martinkova from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. "This makes UV fluorescence an ideal tool for studying endangered species."
This effort included partners in the USFWS, state and federal biologists, the Czech Science Foundation, and the National Speleological Society of the USA.
This research article, "Nonlethal Screening of Bat-wing Skin with the Use of Ultraviolet Fluorescence to Detect Lesions Indicative of White-Nose Syndrome," was recently published in the Journal of Wildlife Diseases. More information may be found on USGS research on white-nose syndrome here.

Well, it's mostly due to the vigorous training they receive.

Nun 1: So, you believe yourself to be ready?

It was a complicated operation, filled with terror, danger, and excitement beyond belief.
With Joe and Ted out for the day, Mother Nature had the house to herself for the annual big Spring Clean. She started with a nice Gin & Tonic, and then went to the legendary Cupboard Of Sacred Cleaning Equipment, and withdrew the Holy Roll of Duct Tape[1], and set to work...
With the Holy Pair of Kitchen Scissors (Recovered from behind the Bowling Trophy Cabinet of Truth) Nature cut off a single length of the magical sticky back plastic, and applied it unto the carpet in the front room. With a cry of "Begone! foul dust!" she ripped the tape from the covering, and was pleased to discover a film of dust over the once prestineness of the Tape of Doom[1]. Discarding said tape, she cut a further length from the Infinite Supply of the Tape of Ducts and reapplied it to a new section of the flooring.
Several hours later, and with a pile of spent tape that did verily block out the light of heaven itself, Nature applied the final strip of tape unto the carpet. With a final cry of "Duct-off" Mother Nature ripped off the tape, surveyed the desolation before her, muttered something about "Duck this for a game of tactical warfare" and summoned the Holy Dyson Salesman.
Yours in total sincerity,
[1[ Beware the power of the duct-tape, for it has a light side and a dark side, and it doth bind the universe together

Tcha! I merely happen to mention in passing in eeevil parts that I occasionally googlegrope on "molerat", and the youngsters start baiting me. You could at least get the speeling right, Ptou.
Of *course* I don't post to Usenet with a typewriter, sillies. Those of us well past our 4th decade (don't worry about the big four-oh, Pout - I hear that testosterone replacement therapy can work wonders) don't hold with such cutting edge whizzo-type notions. Personally I favour pressing cuneiform symbols into dollops of wet clay using a sharp stick. A scanner and the OmniPage Sumerian extension pack do the rest.
(Bloody good buy, that Sumerian extension pack, BTW. It even gets all the mushroom/penis puns. (What do you mean, you haven't been reading BoRHOD: The Early Years? Shame on you!) I believe DMP used to use something similar. Only not a sharp stick, obviously.

Fellow RHODents,
The Management of MerryHam and WebSpinners has presented me with an odd sort of word. I hereby offer it to the group for dissection.
The word is 'Spungnacious.'
It was, I'm told, discovered in a hidden compartment in the lower left quadrant of the Sphinx of Giza's posterior, along with a packet of seeds for a rubber plant. It was fortunate that the MH-and-WS field agents were able to retrieve it before Delphic Research got there.
So, what am I bid for this fine specimen of synthetic silliness?

It takes some practice with the WII remote to get the movements just right to perform the cooking steps - peeling & chopping vegetables, fruit, meats; stirring & mixing ingredients; cracking eggs; pouring mixes into containers; etc.
Overall I gave this game a 9, because it was fun, there's no violence whatsoever, & it taught my kids something really useful, that being that cooking can be fun.
Since we rented this game, my kids (7 & 10 yo) are asking more to help w/ the cooking & learning about measurements, reading recipes, kitchen tools & oven safety. This IS a mild game, but it's highly entertaining & my whole family enjoyed it.
Sweetest game !!

The sound is awesome. The voice acting is funny.(or as Mama would say "ze woice aktng es voony") There was just one thing that annoyed me...maybe two. There weren't enough recipes. Although there is a fun last recipe (I'll give you a hint, it's from Japan, it starts with "i" and ends with "e") And it was cool that you could get golden kitchen utensils. But I wish there were more than two Indian dishes, Irish food would be cool too. It was nice how you could make desserts like cream puffs, truffles, and chiffon cake (although I haven't a clue what chiffon means.) All in all though, This was a really good game that is good for all ages!

Calling All Amateur Chefs!

This game won't automatically feel just like the real thing, but (as with almost every other Wii game) once you understand the controls and movements, you'll be cooking like an Iron Chef in no time. Don't assume that the motion controls are just "off"; as with SSX Blur, take the time to learn what the game is asking you to do.
This game falls somewhere between the exacting professionalism of Trauma Center (but without the annoying storyline) and the minigame mayhem of WarioWare (but without the manic ADD-ness). Even though the recipes aren't exact, they're close enough that they've given me some new dish ideas for actual cooking. Some dishes focus on elegant simplicity, while others focus on rich, flavorful complexity; bake elaborate cakes, simple vegetable dishes, unusual meat preparations, and complex seafood plates.
Many cooking details are incorporated into the gameplay. For example, when sauteeing ingredients (called "stir fry"), you must choose the order you put them in the pan based on relative cook times. The "stew" minigame also closely resembles the kinds of things you do when actually stewing ingredients. I was thoroughly impressed.
Dishes are all organized by country of origin, but almost all of the dishes seem like a Japanese take on those international dishes. Also, the voice acting (mostly from "Mama") is done with a humorously bad Japanese accent. Hearing "Blavo!" or "Hoolay!" or "Wonduhuhrl!" for the 50th time is still funny. I do wish there was a wider variety of national cuisines represented (especially Latin American), but I'm mostly satisfied with what's there.
The ranks, medals, and scores will keep you busy for a long time on single player, and if you have another amateur chef/gamer around, multiplayer will keep you busy even longer. Highly recommended to current and aspiring chefs.

The game play is pretty simple, cutting with the Wiimote, flipping, stirring, etc... The anime styling is pretty over-the-top, with almost stereotyped Japanese-accented encouragement coming from the game speakers constantly. Harmless fun for a two-week run with two ten-year-olds.

SCAA Archival Community Needs Survey: Results
- Details
- Written by Administrator
This survey was distributed in November 2009 to members of the South Carolina archival community. The results of the survey are presented in this final report and are summarized in this PowerPoint presentation. Funded by the South Carolina SHRAB, this survey was a joint venture of the SCAA, PALMCOP, CALM, CUSCH, SCLA-ASC, the Confederation of South Carolina Local Historical Societies, and others. The stated goal of the survey was "to document the needs of this professional group [SC archivists] in reference to continuing education, professional development, and professional development services and support."
After the conclusion of the survey, a meeting was held at the State Archives with representative leadership from the sponsoring organizations. Participants identified areas of concern and began work on an action plan for the future. Among the chief areas discussed were:
- Communication
- Involvement/outreach
- Duplication of efforts
- Program quality
- Support from employers
- Collaboration

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
