The Economic Reality Of Marriage
Originally published on Sun December 18, 2011 12:40 pm
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Audie Cornish. In the intersection of love and marriage and divorce, there are romantic and economic considerations. This past week, NPR's Jennifer Ludden told us that fewer Americans are getting married; and when they do, they're taking longer to get down the aisle. NPR's Shankar Vedantam is working on the other half of the equation - when things go bad, divorce appears to be less of an option. Jennifer Ludden and Shankar Vedantam join me now. Welcome to the program.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: It's a pleasure. Thanks for having us.
JENNIFER LUDDEN, BYLINE: Thank you, Audie.
CORNISH: So, Jennifer, let's start with you because it seems as though the financial pressures are having a bigger impact on what for a long time we all romantically hoped was essentially an emotional decision.
LUDDEN: Right, right. It's harder to say "I do" if you're out of a job, if your hours have been cut. Last year, the number of new marriages in the country dropped a sharp 5 percent. And it's kind of too early to really tell what was going on, but most analysts think this is clearly the bad economy at work.
CORNISH: And, Shankar, what does this mean on the other end of that, then, when it comes to divorce?
VEDANTAM: Well, it's a little complicated, because the research seems to suggest, counter-intuitively I think, that when the unemployment rate goes up in bad economic times, the divorce rate actually goes down. That's now what I think I expected and what a lot of people expected.
CORNISH: So, essentially, people, even when they are unhappy, are sticking it out in their marriages.
VEDANTAM: So, that's one theory. I mean, all we have is the empirical finding is that as the unemployment goes up, divorce goes down. It could be one of two different things, which is that people in fact are unhappy but are sticking it out, even though they are unhappy because they can't afford to divorce. And I have to say that's the more likely explanation that's endorsed by most academics. There's another explanation, which is that bad times are driving couples closer together, and so they are making stronger marriages and therefore they're staying together.
CORNISH: Jennifer, can we get a little deeper into the numbers here about marriage, because for a long time these issues of people not getting married and just cohabitating, they were labeled a problem, and it was something that was considered a problem for a minority group specifically.
LUDDEN: Right.
CORNISH: But it seems like these numbers are going down across the board.
LUDDEN: Marriage rates are down across the board but what you have really is what people call a marriage gap or a divorce divide. You have for college-educated Americans, marriage, while it's declining, it's still pretty popular. There is a high rate of marriage and actually a very low rate of divorce. It's leveled off down to 11 percent in the latest numbers. But if you haven't gone to college, you only have a high-school degree, you're far less likely to get married and far more likely to get divorced. And you're more likely to have children without being married. And so the concerns that once we heard about the African-American and poor communities, we're now hearing much more broadly based in the working-class middle America.
CORNISH: It seems as though what we're seeing is a lack of mobility, that essentially, if you can afford to be married, you will be married. And if you can afford to divorce, then you do that. Does that make sense?
VEDANTAM: Yeah, you know, as I'm listening to Jennifer, here's what I'm thinking; which is that economics seems to play a really powerful role in both whether people get married and then whether they get divorced. It's almost as if there's a certain stickiness in both marriage and divorce. And the stickiness is connected to how wealthy you are. When you are wealthy, you tend to sort of gravitate into the married category and stay there. And when you're not wealthy, you tend to find it hard to get into the married category, and even when you get there, it's easier to fall out of it.
CORNISH: And what's interesting about this is marriage, like owning a home, is something that people have always seen as a part of building your wealth, right?
LUDDEN: And this is a big concern for the social scientists who study this. They worry that, you know, we have this, now, inequality in marriage. And is that then is going to exacerbate inequality in the next generation? As the next college-educated Americans have children, bring them up in these very, you know, nuclear family homes, their children, studies would suggest, have a greater chance of themselves going on to college and then being high achievers. Whereas children raised in homes where the parents are not married, while there may be many happy such relationships and the children will be just fine, on average, they have much poorer outcomes. They're less likely to go to college. And so there's a concern that you're going to exacerbate this inequality.
CORNISH: This isn't about numbers but I want to put the question to both of you. Do you get a sense that this is actually part of a cultural shift in how we view the purpose of the institution itself?
VEDANTAM: Yeah, I'm almost getting a sense that there's - you know, our romantic visions of marriage are at odds with the reality of what marriage actually is like in our society. And in some ways, our cultural and romantic views of the institution of marriage have just not kept pace with socioeconomic factors that are driving both marriage and divorce.
LUDDEN: I think marriage used to be where you started your adult life. It was a signal that you were then moving out on your own and you and your spouse would kind of struggle and find success together. And today, what you hear from young people is that it's kind of the cherry on top. They feel they need to achieve financial security, and when they feel set, then they get married. The problem is with a lot of working-class men especially, whose wages have been really stagnant for decades now, they never get to that level of financial security.
CORNISH: NPR's Jennifer Ludden and Shankar Vedantam. Thanks so much.
LUDDEN: Thank you.
VEDANTAM: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

You answered your own question, if they never heard of them but expected to get them upon purchase, the purchaser has been misled.
Facts are facts (correct on your comment, but not the premise). We are having a difference of opinion, that's a fact. But you commenting that your OPINION is fact is wrong.
The DOP label doesn't guarantee quality or your perception of which tomato tastes better only that it meets the Standards to have a DOP label applied.
Professional or consumer knowledge of the product is immaterial. None of us had any inherent knowledge, we've learned it all. I'm not one be ignorant to what I've learned. I think the great benefit to this thread is that others that you've spoke of that have never heard of San marzanos can read this and gain the knowledge of them, whether they are real San marzanos from Italy with DOP label or any old can that prints San Marzano on them.
-San Marzano is a REGION--nothing more.Another fun fact: It will be impossible to recreate a real Napoletana pizza because they just use what's FRESH in their area. In fact, most italian cooks, period, use indigenous ingredients.

On its official blog, Disney Parks provides a glimpse of a new feature found in the recently renovated Space Mountain (expected to begin soft openings this week, with a relaunch date of November 22). As we reported along with the assistance of the Orlando Sentinel's Jason Garcia back in June, the team that did development on Soarin's interactive queue brought a taste of their magic to the Space Mountain queue. The blog mentions that the long queue (the show building is quite a walk from the entrance) will have multiple games featured with each game's objective being fundamental to the attraction's storyline. Each 90 second game will also be able to accomodate dozens of players at the same time.

'JONAS' and 'Sonny with a Chance' Video Games Invite Fans Onstage, Backstage and Beyond
BURBANK, Calif. — In two of the Disney Channel's biggest hits, "JONAS" and "Sonny With A Chance," the storylines take viewers on and off-stage with the Lucas brothers to see how they live their everyday lives, and backstage with the hilarious cast of the "So Random" sketch comedy show. Two new Nintendo DS™ titles from Disney Interactive Studios will make those experiences come to life. Available today in retail stores nationwide is JONAS for DS, while Sonny with a Chance is currently being developed for release in spring 2010.
"Both JONAS and Sonny with a Chance will deliver fresh new interactive experiences for fans," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "Filled with memorable moments with favorite characters, these DS games allow players to deepen their engagement with both shows with hours of lighthearted fun."
JONAS for DS is inspired by the Disney Channel Original Series starring the Jonas Brothers, whose characters juggle everyday school and family life as it collides with the pop star world. The game lets fans play as three of the hottest rock stars on the planet, Nick, Joe and Kevin Lucas. Players help the band, JONAS, tear up the stage in six concerts, hang out with friends Macy and Stella, and visit locations such as the brothers' firehouse and school as seen on the TV show.
JONAS also features popular tunes sung by the Jonas Brothers on the show, including "Live to Party," "Keep It Real" and "Why," which players can jam to in performance mode. In addition, players can customize the brothers' outfits for cool looks in school and in performance mode. In story mode, players collect musical notes to power up their guitars and then strike the right guitar chords to overcome obstacles.
Third Shoe Drops as Disney Motion Pictures Group Prez Mark Zoradi Makes Exit
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Mark Zoradi, who as president of the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group handled worldwide marketing and distribution of films, resigned on Monday after 29 years at the company, the studio said.
Zoradi's resignation comes amid a shake-up at the Walt Disney Co's movie studio, as long-time chairman Dick Cook's abrupt departure in September was followed in October by Cook's replacement with television executive Rich Ross, who until then headed Disney Channels Worldwide.
Also last month Daniel Battsek, who ran Disney's low-budget Miramax Films, also left after the company slashed the unit's workforce and curtailed the number of films it would release.
The Prince and the Gecko: Disney Ad It Again
Earlier this year, Disney and Aflac joined forces in order to promote UP in a television spot for the insurance company that cleverly integrated the Aflac Duck with segments from the film.
Not to be outdone, Martin the GEICO Gecko has stepped in to help promote The Princess and the Frog and it's reptilia y amphibia when the cursed Prince Naveen learns that being hexed is only the beginning of his problems. Is it too much to hope for the next commercial to have Mr. Toad saving money by switching to GEICO?
In any case, enjoy.

Don't think I would buy these again

Comments about Only Natural Pet Bully Stuffed Shin Bone Dog Chew:
I would not buy these again. They were smaller than I thought and didn't hold my dog's interest for any length of time. He didn't like whatever it was stuffed with, and the bones themselves cracked.
Comment on this review
Don't expect much from this product.
By Eclair
from Nottingham, NH
All I can say is that my black lab picked it up and spit it out. Tried several times to get her to eat it, but to no avail. Sorry, but I won't be buying any more from you.
Too much Bully left inside the bone!
By Puppy Momma
from St. Louis, MO
I switched to these from Bully sticks after my puppy swallowed two of the Bully sticks when they got to about 2.5 inches long. The problem with these is that my dogs can't get to all the ground bully inside, so they give up on them. I ended up digging the ground Bully out and mixing it with peanut butter to stuff Kongs and other bones.
Fun for awhile
By Wheaten mom
from Pittsburgh, PA
My 30 pound wheaten puppy spent about 3 hours straight chewing this when I first gave it to her. She then realized she couldn't get to any more of the bully stuffing and she hasn't really touched it since. She is apparently not a strong enough chewer to want to actually devour the entire shin bone, so has just left it lay around since the first day and has instead chewed her usual bully sticks. Might be better for larger dogs. I do like that is healthy and safe.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Integrative Therapeutics Inflamzyme:
I started using this after my vet ran some tests and told me that my dog has an allergy. I didn't put her through allergy testing because I don't want to put her under anesthesia, unless it's necessary, and right now her allergy symptoms aren't that bad. The only symptoms she has are licking her paws and she occasionally gets red bumps on her belly. She licks her paws less when I use this product, but it doesn't work as well as Benadryl. I do think this is a safer, more natural product than Benadryl, though.

Look Mom no itch
By Jeanne D
from West Palm Beach, FL
Pete was put on an antihistimine 3 x's a day - after 2 weeks on Inflamzyme he is down to 2 x's and no scratching at all. My goal is the completely wean him off meds and just give him the supplements.
Worth a shot
By ChriistiD
from Medina, Ohio
Our 1 1/2 year old Shepherd mix was recently diagnosed with "allergies" and put on Vistaril. I tried this in hopes she would not need prescription medications. It did not work at all.It was still worth a shot and hopefully once we figure out her allergies I may try another natural product to help keep her comfortable.
Not Effective

Didn't help for long.

My 11 year old Border Collie has severe seasonal allergies. This product appeared to work well at first with taming down her excessive scratching. As time went on, it seemed to lose its effectiveness. This product is easy to administer, but, in our case, did not give longterm relief

I started giving this to my dog months ago for his severe allergies. Saw improvement within weeks and it just kept getting better and better. I also use Health Concerns Skin Balance as well as B12 Aquapuncture provided by my holistic vet. utilization of this 2 supplements as well as aquapuncture have taken my Hovwart from incessantly itchy with gooey, crusty hot spots all over and a moth eaten coat to gorgeous. Thank goodness!

I must admit that I was skeptical. My 5yr old Boxer is allergic to everything and we've tried just about everything. He was in full flare-up when he started taking this and within a few days his symptoms were greatly calmed down.
Helped My Itchy Dog
from San Leandro, CA
Started this product about 2 weeks ago to help my itchy, allergic to everything dog. He has had severe inflammation year round since we adopted him from a local rescue group. Showed the ingredients in this product to my holistic vet, who liked the product's ingredients and actually asked me if she could keep the printout I had handed her as she was previously unaware this product existed. Although it has only been a little over 2 weeks, my dog's itchy, crusty, irritated skin is now MUCH less inflamed and I expect it to get better & better with continued daily use. I give my 67 lb Hovawart 2 pills twice daily. I highly recommend this product. Great alternative to harmful steroids!

My Sheltie had been licking her feet to bleeding,scratching, and shaking her head. After going tothe Vet for the hundreth time, I decided to takeher care into my hands. I began by making her food. Which helped a lot. I then came to Only Natural...I tried Inflamzyme and Aller Free 7. They worked wonders. My Sheltie is around 25 pounds so I tried 1 Inflamzyme tab 2x a day plus 20-28 drops of Aller Free7 3x a day. I eventually had to go to 2 tabs of Inflamzyme 2x a day, but this turned out to be just the right dosage. I actually crush the pills and put them and the Aller Free in a little yogurt. I also used Malaseb shampoo for her skin and Zymox for her ears. She is 13 and looks and acts like sheis 8. If something is wrong with her, I always check out Only Natural first.
Safe and effective aid for allergies
By Griffin
from Northern New Mexico
This product is one of many I have tried. One of my dogs has severe and life long inhalant allergies. These allergies are extremely difficult to diagnose, treat and once an infection is present must be treated with pharmaceuticals. I chose Inflazyme to try and manage her outbreaks in a safe and non-pharmaceutical manner. So far, so good.

Item # LVS000D
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Jackets in stock than that.
Levi's Commuter Trucker Men's Denim Jacket. $0.00
We admit it, denim isn't the obvious choice for cycling. However, if you're anything like us, your time out of the saddle is seen through 'denim-goggles.' Not surprisingly, Levi's observed our daily style and forced the question on us, why not wear denim on your commutes? And with its new Commuter Trucker Denim Jacket, we find ourselves asking the same question. Why not?
This isn't some run-of-the-mill, one-off attempt at appeasing a subculture. Instead, Levi's worked closely with cyclists in multiple cities around America, distributing prototypes and accepting feedback. And, as a result of developing the jacket in accordance to critique, Levi's effectively dialed-in the fit, accoutrement, and finishes to what cyclists are actually asking for.
Accordingly, Levi's adapted its staple denim jacket to the purpose of cycling. The Commuter Trucker feature a water-resistant and dirt-repellent NanoSphere protective finish to make commuting in hostile weather a little more acceptable, especially if your destination is the office. It's for this very reason that Levi's also incorporated an odor-resistant Sanitized finish to the jacket, too.
So, clever compositions aside, Levi's also gave the Trucker a cycling-specific cut. What does this mean? To start, the rear hem has been elongated in order to provide additional coverage while you're stretched out over the bars. Additionally, the arms have been lengthened for the same reason. Levi's has also created the pattern of the Trucker on a slight contour with built-in stretch panels running parallel with the torso. You'll also find specific features for cycling like a large flapped-vent across the back panel. Additionally, the elongated tail is capable of being moved up and out of the way with button closures. Furthermore, you're also able to let in or let out the waist hem with button closures.
For storage on your rides, the Trucker features a large rear cargo pocket, two buttoned chest pockets, and two hand pockets. And to increase your visibility to motorists in low-light conditions, Levi's also included reflective accents throughout the jacket's construction.
The Levi's Commuter Trucker Denim Jacket is available in six sizes from X-Small to XX-Large and in the color Indigo Best.

Lovegood was the surname of a wizarding family. They lived in a house near Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England, and thus close to the Weasley, Fawcett, and Diggory families. It is unknown if they were pure-blood or had Muggle as well as wizarding heritage.
The Lovegoods were generally regarded as unusual by mainstream society, as they tended to hold and espouse belief in things most others do not believe in, often published in the family magazine, The Quibbler. The Lovegoods are related by marriage to the Scamander family, as Luna Lovegood married Rolf Scamander and had two children, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander.
[show]Lovegood Family Tree
Xenophilius Lovegood------Mrs. Lovegood | (d. 1990) | (Scamander family) | | | | Luna Lovegood-------------Rolf Scamander (b. 1981) | | ---------------------- | | Lorcan Scamander Lysander Scamander
Lovegood is a compound word and a real English surname.
Behind the scenes
- In the films, the Lovegoods appear to be Irish. This is largely due to the fact that Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna, is Irish. Xenophilius, played by Welsh actor Rhys Ifans, used an Irish accent for the film to match her own.
- The Lovegoods are also mentioned to be at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
Notes and references
- ↑ Both Xenophilius Lovegood and his wife were magical, their daughter was allowed to attend Hogwarts during the 1997-98 school year, and Xenophilius was not rounded up with other Muggle-borns.

Ash's Gliscor was one of the Pokémons that Ash caught in Sinnoh.
Gliscor was caught as a Gligar that was afraid of heights and couldn't fly very well.
Gligar was used to battle Paul's Gliscor but was no match for it and Gliscor knocked Gligar out with Guillotine.
Gary suggested to evolve Gligar with a Razor Fang into Gliscor so it can overcome these fears. Ash's Gligar eventually evolved into Gliscor and saved Ash at a canyon.
Gliscor wanted to be in the action too, but Ash said refused and learned Fire Fang in the same episode. Ash used Gliscor in the Canalave Gym, where it defeated Byron's Bastiodon by using Fire Fang from behind instead of attacking it from the front. In the Snowpoint Gym, it lost to Candice's Snover. Ash also used Gliscor to battle Paul's Torterra. It nearly defeated Torterra, but lost to Torterra's Frenzy Plant.
Ash used Gliscor to battle McCann's Scizor and began learning Giga Impact and stayed there to train with McCann.
Ash summoned Gliscor from McCann in order to battle Paul in the Sinnoh league. Gliscor had perfected Giga Impact and while training with McCann, learned Stone Edge. During Ash's battle with Paul, Gliscor battled Ninjask but was unable to overcome Ninjask's speed and was recalled after Ninjask knocked it into the ground, causing it to become poisoned by Drapion's Toxic Spikes. Gliscor later battled Drapion and defeated it using Fire Fang. However due to its exhaustion and the fact that it poisoned, Gliscor was defeated by Paul's Electivire.
Gliscor is assumed to be at Professor Oak's Laboratory. However it is possible that Gliscor may have returned to McCann for more training.
Gliscor was planned to reappear along with all of Ash's Pokemon in an upcoming episode of Best Wishes Season 2. Gliscor visiting Oak's lab in unknown reason.

here's what I wrote on MepisLovers about this
March will be the last month that the R300 architecture, launched back in 2003 with the Radeon 9700, will be supported under AMD's Fglrx releases. As of the April Catalyst 9.4 set, all of AMD's OpenGL 2.0 cards will be removed from support, on both the Windows and Linux drivers. (so no, this isn't AMD picking on Linux, Windows is losing support too). These are all graphics cards from the Radeon 9500 - 9800 series, x300-x800 series, and x1x00 series.
Phoronix goes over how the news affects upcoming distributions : http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=13559
The bad news is that AMD has no plans to update the final 9.3 driver to work against future X.org servers, a practice Nvidia carries out on the 71.86.xx, 96.43.xx, and 173.14.xx driver sets.
The good news is that improvements alread in development for the X.org Mesa drivers will probably bring the 3D support for R300-R500 GPU's in within 10% or so of the existing Fglrx driver, and 2D support is in many cases, faster on the existing Open-Sourced Drivers.
The other good news is that the decrease in product support will mean fewer regressions, and should simplify driver development for the RadeonHD series.
Okay... my take. I'm not really sure what to think. I'm a little uncomfortable... okay, a lot uncomfortable with the UAE taking an interest in AMD. If this change in support hadn't occured so shortly after the board of directors changed up, I'd be a little bit more willing to just pass it on as standard obselence.
Phoronix also makes mention that the hours had been cut on RadeonHD developers. However, what isn't mentioned is whether or not these shorter hours are by the request of AMD to Novell, or by Novell directly. What some people have also noted is that the X.org ATi driver has seen faster development than the RadeonHD driver, mostly due to Novell's approach being based on a complete reverse-engineering of the hardware and registers, rather than by using AMD tools such as AtomBIOS. Last year though, the RadeonHD developers pretty much gave in and started to use AtomBIOS : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...atombios&num=1
Only time will tell if the new AMD after the split off of the Foundry, and the loss of Hector Ruiz to the new Foundry Company, will continue to support Open-Source... I'm just hoping that some of the moves over the past couple of weeks are just knee-jerk reactions by Novell and not indicative of a change in AMD...
otherwise, Intel's Larrabee.. and yes, this is ME saying this... Intel's Larrabee suddenly just a heck of a lot more attractive.

The smallmouth is a hard-fighting sport fish native only to a few waters in the southeastern corner of Kansas. Introduced in several larger reservoirs, the smallmouth has adapted well and attracts a growing number of angler fans. Smallmouths prefer clear water and rocky structure. The mouth of the smallmouth extends to just below the eye. The world record smallmouth weighed a whopping 11 pounds, 15 ounces. The Kansas record is 6 pounds, 6 ounces.

What Are You All About?
About page content: It's what every website includes to satiate hungry visitors with burning questions like, "I wonder if the CEO has a dog?" and "What's your mission statement, again?"
Ok, perhaps not. But there does seem to be a formula these days:
- Required: Create a one-liner tagline
- Required: Say how you're different
- Optional: Add pictures of staff members and the office in which they work
- Optional: Make it inspirational, funny, or both
Enough websites follow this routine and, pretty soon, they all start to look alike. For example, compare one agency's About page to another agency's and words like "full-service," "collaborative," and "creative" will jump off both.
So are we all alike? No, but much of our About content is.
Why About content is tough
Decision-paralysis can set in quickly whenever someone asks, "What do you do?"
- I wonder if this person knows what UX means
- Maybe I should say which company I work for
- I could just say I'm into web design
After all, this is the beginning of a conversation, and how you answer affects its direction. Resorting to saying too much—in hopes that at least one thing gains a foothold—is a typical response.
My current website has been saying too much since its launch in 2010. The original goal was this: "Tell people everything about me so they can decide if they want to hire me." I even threw in details about my piano and kickboxing classes to paint a fuller picture.
AARP does this on a grander scale. It's a big organization with lots of stakeholders, business objectives, revenues to grow (as evidenced by the ads), and audience types. Hence, there's a little bit for everyone.
The IRS website's About page demonstrates such extreme decision-paralysis that it forces the user to decide what she or he wants to know about, specifically. The page is a list of links.
As the saying goes, trying to be everything to everyone is the same as being nothing to no one. It muddies the message and creates a frenetic, disjointed conversation with too many threads to follow.
And as Ginny Redish recently wrote here in UX Magazine, content is a conversation. So what kind of conversation do you want to have with your users?
Flipping the About conversation
Every client website in my Google Analytics account to this day shows that the About page and its subpages consistently rank in the top three most-visited pages, usually behind the homepage and before a services or portfolio page.
In short, the About page represents an almost-guaranteed chance to get fantastic content in front of audiences. Plus, the About page content traditionally gives leeway to editorialize. It's a chance to further convey personality to users.
So in capitalizing on this opportunity, the question to answer isn't: "What can I tell my users about me?" Instead, the question becomes: "What do my users really want to know about me?"
With this flip, the conversation shifts to consider the user first—and what she or he wants to know in order to stick around.
This user-driven approach inherently helps you write content that results in a more meaningful, useful, and compelling conversation with your audiences.
This is the power of great About content.
Who's doing it already?
Fortunately, many companies are writing great About content by speaking to users' real sentiments. Here are a few standout examples.
37 Signals' About page answers many questions about the company, its history ...
... its products
... and its people.
The page unabashedly describes these components without extraneous language, marketing prose, or lengthy diatribes.
This is Automattic's homepage—it's all in haiku. But as if that unique approach wasn't enough, they describe their products in "how you'll use them" and "who they're for" terms. Brilliant. Then, their actual About page is reserved for team headshots, bios, and WordPress (of course) blog links.
Jeffrey Zeldman addresses central user questions in a crystal clear manner—he defines the answers as headings to set readers' expectations.
He's also relegated the "Job Board" and funny "Best Ad Ever" business stuff to the bottom; they don't interrupt what audiences have come here to read.
And although I think the "selected links" section seems more aggregated than selected, he's using them to direct readers into ongoing conversations—many beyond his website.
But what happens if ...
True, curating and editing are both key to writing great About content. It begs prioritization. But that only helps us consider what our users want, organize that content in a conversational hierarchy, and then craft the content to be compelling and useful.
Knowing this, one concern might be business-driven. You have goals to meet, which is why About content turns into a list of links with a sidebar full of calls-to-action. But asking them to make decisions after they've already decided they want to learn more about you is a missed opportunity. Can you dismantle your information architecture to answer at least a few questions before asking more from your users?
Business goals might also show up in the About content itself as calls-to-action like "contact us for a quote" or "apply for a job." Because these likely live on other pages already, perhaps soften the business push with conversational alternatives like, "No cookie-cutter pricing here!" or "We hire people who show initiative."
A second concern might be that users won't find what they need if you cut too much or offer fewer choices. This is a concern for everything content-related, but the bottom line is the same: find out what main questions your users have, and answer them first. (You might already have this data in the form of contact page messages or common questions asked of you by phone.)
A third concern might be marketing related: What if it sounds boring? This is understandable, but not worth fretting over. Users don't think it's boring to find what they were looking for; they'll only be disappointed if what you give them doesn't help them actually learn about you.
Design, imagery, videos, and hullabaloo aside: About content needs to be genuine. There's already enough jargon, attempted cleverness, and formulaic About content out there. And that's exactly why doing more of the same won't differentiate you.
But a real conversation will.
How can I do this?
Great About content requires prioritization. We have to work hard to consider what our users want, organize that content in a conversational hierarchical, and then craft the content to be compelling and useful.
Fortunately, accomplishing this means undoing bad habits more than learning new techniques. Namely: write without perfection in mind.
Here's one way that works well, regardless if you're a writer by trade: Imagine one person sitting across the table from you. This person is a member of your primary target audience. She wants to know more about you. What 3-5 things, specifically, does she want to know?
Imagining this one person—rather than a faceless demographic—will make the conversation in your mind flow more easily. You can always go back and fold in more audiences, but start with one.
And if you don't have this answer already, try this 4-step approach:
- Get away from your desk and find people whom you think are representative of your primary target audience. It's not a requirement, but it's helpful.
- Tell them the name of your organization and what you do in 20 seconds or less.
- Ask them what else they'd like to know about you. Write down the questions they ask. Be sure to have this conversation with enough people that you start recognizing patterns. (In fact, you'll likely start to change your 20-second pitch.)
- Use their questions as your basis for writing new About content.
The first three steps will take you about an hour, and they'll cost you nothing.
The fourth step; well, that might take a few hours. But don't spend too much time writing initially, because you can always refine it further by putting your words in front of users and asking them what other questions they want answered.
In the end, taking this approach will crystallize your efforts around the goal: writing user-driven content that addresses what your users truly want to know about you.

Great stuff. This is also directly relevant to crafting a clear and compelling resume. A perfect example of the kind of voice-of-the-customer thinking we should be doing in all our communication. Adam Zak
Well done Stephanie.
The only challenge I'd tip people off to is that most organizations aren't as clearly distinguishable as the examples you've provided.
We find we often need to walk a couple of rungs back up the strategy ladder to to help define exactly why anyone should care about what the organization is doing. Only then are we in a position to help them articulate it/manifest it on their site.
As you suggested, this process can certainly change their pitch. In many cases, we've found it can change their agenda. The insights they gain can inform decisions about what features/functionality exist on the rest of the site, what other touch-points they might create, even who they should partner with, hire and what they should work on.
One magazine client of ours refocused their editorial agenda during a process we created to help us with scoping and requirements gathering.
@Paul Thanks for the comment. I think it's a matter of preference; if you feel disingenuous speaking in third-person, then don't! That's the boat I was in when I went full-time freelance; I wanted people to know they were hiring a "me" rather than a "we."
Testimonials can be a powerful thing when they don't follow the standard formula of "X is great. I would recommend them to anyone! -- name, CEO of company." When testimonials get at real details -- like "It's refreshing to work with a team that's responsive and doesn't judge me for my stupid questions." -- those help others understand a personality behind the words. Expectations live there. The problem is that many people ask for a testimonial -- generally speaking -- rather than helping their clients provide specific feedback. Specificity is awesome.
Anyway, it all comes down to have a strategy for what kind of voice is genuine, then asking the right questions of clients/customers to elicit real feedback that reinforces that voice.
Nice article. Any thoughts on whether the About content should be written in a first person or third person viewpoint?
I feel like I've been seeing more and more third person (i.e. like the Zeldman site you mention), especially on freelancer's sites lately. About content written in the third-person for a singular designer (especially for ones who designed their own site) gives it a bit of an elitist feel, and comes off a bit arrogant, in my opinion. Testimonials are one thing, but I don't like it when starts off "John Doe is a ...". I mean, if about content is about conversation, I certainly, as a potential client, want to directly talk to the person, not a middle man.
For a company or agency, it's seems more suitable. But for an individual, not so much. I never did like how the inside back cover of books gives those third-person author bios. So impersonal to me.

Job loss means new tax implications
Severance, unemployment payments treated as income
Losing your job can impact more than your immediate finances -- it can also affect your tax return.
First, you should know that severance pay and unemployment checks are treated as income, and as such are taxable.
And so are any payouts coming from a former employer covering any unused vacation and sick time you've piled up.
The good news is that some expenses involved with your search for a new job may be deductible whether or not you actually get that job. Such things as employment agency fees, resume help and travel expenses for interviews fall into this area.
Also, potentially deductible are moving costs you've had to pay out of your own pocket because of a change in your work location.
There are some requirements you'll have to meet, however, involving the timing of the move and the distance.

A thermocouple senses temperature at a pilot burner. The thermocouple determines if the main flame is hot and safe enough to ignite natural gas or propane to the burner. A thermocouple consists of two different metals joined together at one end. This unique bond of metals produces a small voltage at a given temperature.
Honeywell, the leading manufacturer in thermocouples, produces a standard thermocouple as well as a thermocouple with maximum copel. Copel is an alloy of copper and nickel. A thermocouple with a higher amount of copel will have a longer life span than a standard thermocouple. Honeywell thermocouples are available in lengths of 18", 24", 30", 36", and 48".
Robertshaw is known for its Uni-Couple thermocouple Series. The unique design of the Uni-Couple allows for installation to almost all pilot burners. The design includes a stainless steel tip which provides longer life, copper tubing for corrosion protection and low electrical resistance, and an extended cold junction for greater voltage output. Uni-Couples are available in lengths of 18", 24", 30", 36", 48", 60" and 72" making them an extremely versatile option.
The Snap-Fit Thermocouple is an additional series of thermocouples by Robertshaw. Thermocouples in this series don't need complicated adapters to adapt to most pilot burners, making installation simple. Snap-Fit Thermocouples are available in lengths of 12", 18", 24", 30", 36", 48", 60" and 72".
A thermopile generator consists of multiple thermocouples linked in a series to increase millivoltage output. Sufficient power is generated and can operate an automatic millivolt gas control system, independent from any exterior power source. Thermopile generators are available in a variety of lead lengths and connection types, making them cost effective and resourceful.

Royals, Indians playing with Wild Card aspirations
Guthrie looks to get KC even in set; Tribe aims to close gap on Rays
The Royals are getting near being in must-win mode if they want to make the playoffs for the first time since 1985.
Monday night's 4-3 loss to the Indians, who are also battling for an American League Wild Card spot, is certainly not what the Royals needed with 18 games left in the regular season.
Kansas City dropped to four games back, while Cleveland is 1 1/2 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the second Wild Card spot. The Royals will have five more chances to beat the Indians, who own a 9-5 edge in the season series and have won four in a row and seven of the past nine meetings.
Right-hander Jeremy Guthrie will try to help the Royals even the series on Tuesday night. He'll be opposed by right-hander Zach McAllister.
Guthrie has a career-high 13 wins this season with a 4.19 ERA.
In his last start against the Mariners on Thursday, Guthrie gave up five runs in the first four innings, including a three-run homer, but grinded through the next two frames for his 26th start of six innings or more. He took a no-decision in the Royals' 13-inning, 7-6 victory, but manager Ned Yost said his pitcher's determination was important to the team's success.
"The key to this ballgame was Guthrie had a scoreless fifth and sixth inning without his best stuff to allow us to get to our closer in the ninth inning with the lead," Yost said. "That was huge."
McAllister also took a no-decision in his last start against Baltimore on Wednesday. He cruised until the fourth inning, but gave up a solo home run to Adam Jones with one out. In the fifth, Manny Machado erased the lead with a three-run homer. He'll be pitching with five days' rest.
Royals: Dyson making mark on the basepaths
Even though he's played just 73 games, Jarrod Dyson has already matched last season's stolen base total with 30. He's the first Royals player to notch 30 steals in consecutive seasons since Carlos Beltran (2001-03).
"It's big, but I'm shooting for higher than 30," Dyson said. "Thirty is just like a decent job for me on the bases. It's pretty good, because I don't have that many ABs, to be sitting at 30 right now. I'm just going to continue to take off and run."
Dyson leads the Royals in stolen bases and the team leads the Major Leagues with 134. They've been caught just 29 times for an 82.2 percent success rate.
Indians: Ramirez gets first hit, first run
Infielder Jose Ramirez wasted little time in collecting his first Major League hit with a leadoff single to left-center field in the third inning of Monday night's series opener. He went 2-for-3 in his first MLB start, hustling on the bases to score on Drew Stubbs' groundout in the third inning.
Ramirez, who is ranked as the Indians' No. 13 prospect by MLB.com, was recalled from Double-A Akron as part of the September callups without ever playing in Triple-A.
"I think when you talk to all the player development guys, they thought he could handle it," Tribe manager Terry Francona said. "You can probably take the safe route, maybe get a veteran. But I think we all thought this kid can do it."
In 113 games with Akron, Ramirez batted .272 with three home runs, 16 doubles, six triples and 38 RBIs. He also had 38 stolen bases.
Worth noting
• Royals second baseman Chris Getz entered as a pinch-runner in the ninth inning on Monday night -- his first appearance since exiting last Tuesday's game with dizziness and an upset stomach.
• At 77-66, the Indians are on pace to finish above .500 for the first time since winning the AL Central title in 2007.
