My first bike! $425, DETROIT, November, 1971. Had about 600 miles on it. Had it for 18 months and sold it to a cop for $350. Bought a new '73 Bighorn 350 for $900.
Check the carb, Genuine Yamaha Tuning kits had a 30mm instead of the stock 26mm.
The autolube pump took a dump on me and wiped out the piston and crank bearings. Ran pre-mix the rest of the time I had it. Didn't have the tools or skills to pull it down and do the work myself. I think the dealer got $150 to fix it.
There are two gears that mesh in the pump, and the bigger one stripped out. You could actually buy the gears back then and fix it. Take it apart and eyeball them, bummer to do all that work and kill the motor.
I saw another one at the '02 Vintage MX race at Hollister. They wanted $1800 for it, no lights or instruments.

As somebody who has just spent lunchtime starfished in the Sussex sunshine, thoughts have turned to summer and similarly lazy days spent reading beautiful books.
Ridley Road by first-time author Jo Bloom is one book I'd recommend, especially for people who have a love of London and the early 1960s… hairdressers who like both of these things will particularly adore it. But this is not a book about celebrity or fringes.
Bloom's story focuses on a little-known part of London history and anti-fascist Jewish group the 62 Group. This organisation was set up to combat the rising threat of fascism represented by demagogues such as Oswald Mosley, US Nazi leader George Lincoln Rockwell and the lesser-known, if no less dangerous, Colin Jordan.
While the natural title of this book should have been Brick Lane, the frontline of the East End anti-fascist confrontation, Monica Ali's previous sequestering of that moniker means that Ridley Road will have to do, as with the boy-meets-girl story that unfolds within it.
As somebody who lived close to Ridley Road market further north of Brick Lane in Hackney, this titular licence can be forgiven. Bloom's book, however slight in some areas, is the almost-perfect accompaniment and counterfoil to a lazy, lovely summertime lack of blues.

East Carteret has earned right to be in ECI
Published: Sunday, July 20, 2014 at 08:00 AM.
There was a time when East Carteret wasn't good enough to be invited to the East Coast Invitational.
That time is long past.
A year after going 31-1 and falling in the NCHSAA 1-A state finals, the Mariners are back in the ECI for a second straight year – and glad to be here for the annual four-day team basketball camp that concludes Sunday.
"It builds confidence," coach Billy Anderson said. "We haven't been invited here because in the past we haven't been very good. We've gotten better the last six, seven years. So I called (ECI director) Wells (Gulledge) and I said, 'Wells, I think we're good enough to play in your tournament. Once we came in here we were very successful. I think we were 7-2 or 6-2 last year. So I think it did show that if you can play with Kinston and we played (2014 champion) Northside close, it's got to help your confidence."
Anderson said his team played so well in the ECI that it helped propel the Mariners to their unforgettable season last year.
"Every team here kind of gives you a different challenge and kind of a different look. So I think that's got to help," he said. "If you can play with these guys, you can play with anybody."
Anderson uses the ECI and other summer tournaments, like the Fred Lynch Invitational last month in Wilmington, to prepare his team for the coming season. The focus is on both team and individual improvement, he said, along with building chemistry.
"The more you're together, the more you bond," he said.
Few teams have bonded together to put together a season like the Mariners had in 2013-14. East Carteret was undefeated going into the state finals before falling 72-71 to Winston-Salem Prep, which claimed its third straight title and finished 26-4.
It was a magical season.
"We had one of those once-in-a-lifetime seasons, we really did," Anderson said. "All the breaks went our way. We had a lot of fortune. Nobody got hurt. Nobody got into any kind of trouble. Everybody got along. We had a lot of good luck. Definitely, I kept trying to say it during the year, 'Guys, let's enjoy this as much as we can because this doesn't happen all the time.' It's easy to say that. It's hard to do that.
"Looking back on it, we did it a little bit, but now we're looking towards next year. We've enjoyed it. We took some time as a staff and as a team, and we've celebrated a little bit. Even though we lost, we had a heck season and a fun run."
With that performance, however, the Mariners have set the high standard for what's possible.
"I'll say this," Anderson said, "we do have a monster in Carteret County, and we've set our schedule up such that if we lose a game, that doesn't mean we're not successful because we're playing in the Beach Ball Classic in South Carolina. Some of the best teams in the country, not just North Carolina, play in that. We know we've got some expectations and I think we've got a group that can respond to that."
That may be an understatement.
The Mariners return their top four players – and that doesn't include 6-foot-5 Brennan Lewis, who played on the junior varsity last year in basketball but Anderson said is a sure bet to be a college football quarterback.
"Our best four players are coming back," Anderson said, adding Lewis "may be the answer for us inside. He may give us even more of a dimension inside than we had last year."
Back on the court for the Mariners is all-state point guard Jacque Brown, who averaged 19.1 points and 7.8 assists last year, along with Sam Johnson (17.7 ppg), 6-3 Trevor Willis (16.4 ppg, 6.0 rpg) and Ty Simmons (11.0 ppg, 8.8 rpg). Willis, a rising junior, has already received offers from several mid-major Division I schools and was all-conference along with the rest of the team's returnees.
So how good can the Mariners be?
"We're better at five spots than we were last year," Anderson said. "That doesn't translate into (wins) all the time, but it means we've got a chance to be successful."

Chamberlain said "there were a lot of people that probably would have loved to have seen a CMS sign" during a freeway closure, such as Friday's eight-hour shutdown of the southbound I-5 near Camino de Estrella after a crash connected to a high-speed police chase.
"When they got off on that next exit, it's not to find a different alternate route all the time," Chamberlain said. "It's also to find another place to sit, to have a cup of coffee, to do business ... and kill the time so you're not sitting in your car."
Amber Alerts, which give information about child abductions, are another reason for CMS signs, he said, along with public-service messages such as reminders to report intoxicated drivers. Chamberlain said he hoped the City Council would take a regional approach to the issue.
Steve Haubert, a local resident, said that in the regional context, this sign should go along I-5 at Basilone Road, giving motorists more options.
Resident Margo Beauchamp suggested that putting message boards just three miles apart is sign pollution.
Council members thanked Chamberlain and his staff for listening to the city's concerns. They said they hope it leads to better communication.
Caltrans said it notified the city of its intent to put a sign at that location in 2007 and invited comment but didn't hear from the city. "We therefore assumed that the city concurred," a recent letter from Caltrans said.
Mayor Jim Evert said city and Caltrans staff members change and that the sign "never popped up again until all of a sudden the work is in process." Periodic updates will help, the mayor said.
Evert said the council's action Tuesday will send a message, even if it doesn't stop the sign.

Gear Review
Suspension Terrible
I love the design of this pack, but the suspension really doesn't work well for me. At first, I thought it felt cool and great. But upon using it on my ski mountaineering adventures, I realized this pack was terrible, at least for that application. Once it is loaded, it sways too much due to the pivoting suspension. It DOES NOT MOVE WITH YOU, instead it pulls you around in directions you don't want to go. If you want a pack that moves with you, choose one with a static suspension. I found the pack of my dreams in the Gregory FUSION LTS line up (Gregory and BD are now the same company by the way). I especially love the Torre and Serrac packs. They make heavy loads feel like a feather and most importantly, the packs move with me rather than knocking me off balance.
It's understandable about the way the pack moves. This is not a pack designed for skiing or other high movement activities! The infinity is truly a backpacking backpack. The suspension does have a feature where you can "turn off" a lot of the movement by tightening the straps connecting pack body to hip strip, check it out.

B4.1 Deaths and Injuries Caused by Falls Through Roof and Floor Openings and Surfaces, Including Skylights-Bobick TG
Occupational injuries and fatalities caused by falling is a serious problem throughout the U.S. Analyses of data from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indicate that during the 7-year period, 1992 through 1998, a total of 4,507 workers died as a result of a fall. Of these, 3,964 (88%) involved a fall to a lower level. An important sub-set of the "falls to a lower level" category involves workers falling through an existing opening in the floor or roof, or through floor or roof surfaces, including skylight fixtures already installed. During this 7-year period, 447 workers lost their lives by falling through something - 136 deaths occurred when workers fell through an existing roof or floor surface, 198 workers died by falling through existing openings (e.g., openings created for stairs, elevators, or skylights), and 113 died when they fell through already-installed skylight fixtures.
In addition to fatalities, numerous injuries result from these "fall-through" events. Because of the circumstances associated with these incidents, the resulting injuries are among the most severe cases, in terms of median number of "days away from work" (DAFW). Analyses of other BLS data (i.e., Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses) indicate that 16,251 injuries occurred during the 6-year period, 1992 through 1997 (latest available data). The total DAFW related to these injuries was calculated to be 259,258. Data analyses revealed that the median number of DAFW (across all six years) were 13, 12, 43, 19, and 33 for falls through (a) existing floor openings, (b) floor surfaces, (c) existing roof openings, (d) roof surfaces, and (e) skylights, respectively. These analyses highlight the significance of falls through work surfaces, and suggest the need for injury reduction through modifying current work practices and developing appropriate engineering controls.
B4.2 The 1990'S : Claims Management Versus Injury Management-Alberg NM
Over the past decade, Canada has generally seen a downward trend in occupational injury rates, as tracked by claims filed with the provincial Workers' Compensation Boards (WCB). Prior to this time, many provincial Compensation Boards were faced with large unfunded liabilities which threatened their capacity for long range planning. In the province of Manitoba, Canada, the frequency of timeloss injury claims has seen a 25% reduction from the 1990 rate of 42.9 per 1000 workers, to 34 per 1000 in 1998. During the same period, the severity of Manitoba timeloss injury, as measured by the average days lost per claim, has declined from a period high of 18.1 days in 1991 to 14.8 days in 1998.
Although the 1990's displayed this downward trend, a review of Manitoba's rates over the past two decades shows two plateaus separated by a substantial fall in timeloss rates in the early 1990's. The 1990's saw many local initiatives both in occupational safety and health and in the administration of the Compensation system. Each initiative of injury prevention, early return and modified work routines, compensation pay-outs, experience rating, among others, has had some impact on subsequent profiles of injury claims.
A 10 year review of trends in Manitoba WCB injury claims, using both timeloss and no timeloss or medical aid claims, suggests some achievements in primary prevention of injury, intermingled with other impacts of claims management strategies. This latest multiplicity of intervening factors requires a variety of approaches to defining "risk" when analyzing WCB data. The new dilemma for safety and health professionals is how to interpret and use the information presented by WCB claims data in the 21st century. How best can we determine which parts of the changing injury rates reflect true primary prevention of injury at the workplace?
B4.3 Struck-by Injuries to Construction Workers- Welch LS, Hunting KL
Struck-by injuries are a leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in the construction industry, yet much work is still needed to understand the nature of this diverse group of injuries. Using a data set of 3390 injured construction workers treated at the George Washington University Emergency Department in Washington, DC, we looked at the injuries to workers who were struck by an object. To identify these injuries we examined injuries in which the circumstance was E-coded as stuck-by, struck against, caught, or cut, or where the injury involved a machine, an explosion, or a vehicle. To focus on those injuries where a worker was stuck by an object that was not under his control, we then removed injuries that were due to being caught between two objects, or where the worker was moving and hit himself on an object. There were 747 stuck-by injuries in this sub-set.
We will describe in detail the nature and circumstances of these injuries. For example, we found that laborers were more likely to be involved in a "struck-by" injury (40% vs. 29% for all workers combined). The injured worker was most frequently struck by a metal object (14% of all struck-by injuries), a pipe (8%), a board (7%), a beam (6%), a power tool (5%), and a scaffold (4%). A struck-by injury resulted more frequently in a contusion, a head injury or a fracture than did other causes of injury.
We will present more detail on these injury patterns and discuss opportunities for prevention of struck-by injuries. This group of struck-by injuries differs from those that would be defined by E-codes or BLS groupings alone; the implications of this will be discussed, and results compared to an analysis based on the BLS classification.
B4.4 Occupational Fatalities in the U.S. Highway Construction Industry, 1992-1997-Pratt SG
Highway construction workers (Standard Industrial Classification [SIC] 1611) risk injury from varied exposures: traffic vehicles, construction equipment, electric current, falls, and collapsing materials. Data from Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries research files for 1992-1997 were used to characterize these fatalities by event, source, employer class, and person type.
Of the 708 fatalities during 1992-1997, construction laborers (252, 35.6%) and truck drivers (91, 12.9%) together accounted for nearly half. Five hundred (70.6%) worked for private contractors, 110 (15.5%) for local government, and 98 (13.8%) for state government. Major injury sources were trucks (285, 40.3%), construction machines (127, 17.9%), and cars (84, 11.9%).
Three distinct event types were identified: contractor vehicle events inside work areas (288, 40.7%); traffic vehicles entering work areas (159, 22.5%); and other traffic crashes, without mention of a work area (135, 19.1%). The remainder were other events, including electrocutions, falls, and trench collapses (126, 17.8%). Trucks contributed substantially to traffic vehicle events inside work areas (46.5%), other traffic crashes (68.2%), and contractor vehicle events (41.0%). Traffic vehicles entering work areas were 45.0% of state government fatalities, compared with 20.6% for private contractors and 10.9% for local government.
Data were analyzed by person type for 582 fatalities with a vehicle or machine as the injury source; 57.0% were workers on foot, 35.1% were operators, and 7.9% were passengers. Workers on foot were involved in high proportions of traffic vehicle events inside work areas (93.1%) and contractor vehicle events (60.1%). Among other traffic crashes, operator fatalities predominated (77.8%).
This research identified fatality types within SIC 1611 and differences by injury source, employer class, and person type. Emphasis on risks from traffic vehicles entering the work area and contractor vehicles should continue; however, other traffic crashes and non-vehicular events (37% of fatalities) should also be addressed by employer safety programs.
B4.5 In-depth Analyses of Falls From Heights in the Construction Industry-Kines PA
Numerous epidemiological studies have been carried out on accidents in the construction industry, and a majority of them conclude that there is a need for more details surrounding the contributory factors. This study deals with the investigation and analysis of the complex interrelationships between technical, psychosocial and organisational risk factors involved in serious and fatal accidents in the construction industry. The study involves the use of retrospective quantitative and qualitative analyses of conventional injury reports and statistics, as well as prospective in-depth investigations and analyses. The in-depth methodology will include detailed interviews of victims, colleagues, foremen, managers etc. to investigate the processes that lead up to events immediately preceding the injury, and to study their sequential and spatial relationships.
The purpose of this study is to develop a method for uncovering comprehensive knowledge regarding the antecedents of occupational injuries, and to analyse the potential of this knowledge in contributing concise information for use in effective accident prevention.

OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Mission Passes Important Design Review
Lockheed Martin to Build Asteroid Sample Return Spacecraft
DENVER, April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — NASA's OSIRIS-REx program has successfully completed a comprehensive technical review of the mission and has been given approval to begin building the spacecraft, flight instruments and ground system. Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] is responsible for development of the spacecraft, which will be the first U.S. mission sent to a near-Earth asteroid to collect and return samples.

This major milestone was achieved after a successful mission critical design review (CDR) for the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission. The review was performed by an independent review board, comprised of experts from NASA and several external organizations, that validated the detailed design of the spacecraft, instruments and ground system.
"Passing CDR is a significant milestone in our program," said Rich Kuhns, program manager at Lockheed Martin Space Systems. "We have now completed the spacecraft design and are transitioning into fabrication as we prepare for the assembly, test and launch operations phase of the mission."
OSIRIS-REx is scheduled to launch in the fall of 2016, rendezvous with the asteroid Bennu in 2018 and spend a year of reconnaissance at the asteroid, before collecting a sample of at least 2 ounces (60 grams) and returning it to Earth for scientists to study in 2023.
"The OSIRIS-REx team has consistently demonstrated its ability to present a comprehensive mission design that meets all requirements within the resources provided by NASA," said principal investigator Dante Lauretta, from the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. "Mission CDR was no exception. This is a great team. I know we will build a flight and ground system that is up to the challenges of this ambitious mission."
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center will provide overall mission management, systems engineering, and safety and mission assurance for OSIRIS-REx. The University of Arizona leads the effort and provides the camera system and science processing and operations center. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver will build the spacecraft, the sampling and Earth-return system, and perform spacecraft mission operations. OSIRIS-REx is the third mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program, which is managed by the Marshall Spaceflight Center.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 115,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation's net sales for 2013 were $45.4 billion.

text: I've had my new rig together for a couple of weeks, and it runs everything beautifully, but I've noticed some problems when I have AA enabled and I have WoW minimized, and I try to play movies with any media player. Basically, the movies either stop playing in the first few seconds, and the sounds continues, or there is no video at all, but there is sound. I've tried both the official drivers from nVidia's web site and some leaked drivers that I got from a link posted on this board. I'm using an Abit KN8 Ultra, and an XFX 7900GT, and I am currently using the platform drivers and video drivers from nVidia's website on a brand new install of XP Pro. If I have AA turned off, everything works fine with WoW minimized. Anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks for the responses. I've updated the webpage with my latest plan and an elevation.
You all have good suggestions. Most of what I'm doing is for pretty good reasons, mainly that I'm just getting into this hobby and I really want to have a space that is out of sight out of mind.
As you'll see by the floorplan of the house, this space really is unused and out of the way which is a huge priority for me right now. I'm luckily a pretty small guy, so the small space will work ok. I agree that it's not luxurious, but i have two small kids that require most of my time. When they grow older I may take over the guest room as a very nice large space.
Ventilation-I had originally planned on routing exhuast out the existing crawl space access which is high on the wall anyway. I've done some tests though, and since the furnace is in the room there is plenty of ventilation. If I have a problem I can always add a fan. As my mechanical engineer friends say, "the solution is in the dilution". If and when I get into the stinkier chemicals that some of you mention. I may have to re-think this. I do like someones suggestion for the tray covers.
Stacking trays-I've acually thought about this, and this will be my solution when I grow beyond the simple developer, stop, fix, wash system that I learned at the community center.
I've decided to locate the sink on this wall mainly because the other wall is solid concrete and I would then have to furr it out and /or come up with another routing for the system. I'm trying to make this pretty painless.
To be honest this will be a learning experience. I got into printing a few years ago BK (before kids). I've only printed three times since (last 4 years), but haven't lost that itch. Since then I've gotten a medium format Ricohmatic and a 4 x 5 Graflex Supergraphic to tinker with. I've never even printed anything larger than a 8 x 10!. ROOKIE!!
Anyway, I appreicate all of you helpful suggestions. I'll be lurking around these boards trying to pickup anything and everything I can. Thanks again.

We had a great time and we would highly recommend this home for a fun get-away.
Family Reunion 2014
We did all of our own cooking and had everything we needed. We did find out that the restaurant on site has gluten free pasta! Good to know for next time.
Eva the housekeeper always answered our calls when needed and was very attentive. The owners made sure to have the house as unscented as possible per our request. (fabric softeners, perfumes, air freshners etc...)
The beach, which is right in front of your door, is public so you will have some boaters (some quiet others not) to share with. Saturday was the most crowded the other days were quiet.
Thanks Fred and Eva for making our 2014 reunion a special memory!
We will come back again!!!

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has urged fans not to compare him with new Manchester United signing Robin van Persie.
Van Persie upped sticks for a £22million move to Old Trafford last week.
Giroud, 25, insisted to The Sun: "I am not here to replace Van Persie or to make people forget him.
"I am here to bring something different. I don't have the pretension of saying I will replace him because I have every respect for him as he had an enormous season last year.
"I wish him good luck for the future but I need to bring what I can bring without being pretentious to say I am here to replace him. That would be very bad.
"I feel ready. Absolutely ready to assume the responsibility and make people say 'yes, we have Olivier'. That's how it is. If I didn't think that I would never get my chance. If you sign for a big club it's to replace another striker who leaves or you come and sit on the bench and wait for some game-time or wait until a striker is less efficient, needs a breather or is injured.
"Unfortunately that's how it is football. Now I have a chance as Robin left. So I will get more time to play and I need to assume the responsibility. In fact, I must.
"Because that is my chance and I have to take it. The ball is in my court and the show must go on."

Department: Psychology and Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy
Supervising Faculty Members: Sophie Trawalter
Specialization: Social Psychology, Social Cognition
Research Focus: We will study how social identities such as race/ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES) shape people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in intergroup contexts. For example, we will study how SES and gender affect use of public space and sense of belonging at the University. In our previous work, we have found that lower-SES students do not like and do not use public space on Grounds as much as high-SES students. And these differences matter. We found that use of public space is associated with feeling "at home" at the University. As another example, we will study how race/ethnicity affects perceptions of pain. In our previous work, we have found that people—including medical personnel—believe that Black people feel less pain than do White people.
Job Description: You will be asked to (1) run experiments with human participants, (2) enter data, (3) code data; for example, code nonverbal behavior from videotapes of participant interactions, (4) participate in lab meetings
Required Skills, Courses, Resources, or Background: To do this job, you will need to communicate instructions to participants, follow study protocols, be punctual and professional, and be careful and meticulous. The data you collect must be reliable and trustworthy.
Basic Excel knowledge/skill would be useful but not required. We will train research assistants to enter and code data.
This job absolutely requires professionalism: as noted before, you will need to communicate instructions to participants—participants who will often be peers (i.e., other UVA students), follow study protocols, be punctual, and be careful and meticulous. The data you collect must be reliable and trustworthy. In addition, it is absolutely crucial that research assistants respect the confidentiality of study participants. Because participants are often peers, this can be difficult. It can be tempting to discuss study participants' behavior with friends if/when you know the study participants. Tempting as it may be, it is not permissible. Failure to act in a professional and/or ethical manner could result in unreliable and/or unusable data.
To avoid any such issues, research assistants must complete the CITI human subjects training. In addition, we have a wonderful lab manager who trains our research assistants and oversees study sessions (at least at the beginning of a study). That way, if any questions arise, she is there to answer them. Finally, research assistants attend bi-weekly lab meetings during which they and/or the graduate students and/or lab manager can raise questions and/or concerns, and discuss these in a "safe" space.
Training: All research assistants will need to complete the CITI human subjects training. They will do this once they begin working in the lab. They need not complete this ahead of time.
What You Will Learn: You will learn how behavioral research is conducted; specifically, you will learn to think about research questions, develop hypotheses, and design studies. More advanced students will also learn to analyze data and interpret results. In addition, you will learn about graduate school (e.g., what it's like to be a graduate student, what motivates students to go to graduate school, what it takes to get into and go to graduate school). Finally, you will become an educated consumer of behavioral science.

Robyn Greenspan | September 23, 2004 | Comments
Time spent online per week climbs at the expense of television watching, says the new Digital Future Project report.
The fourth installment of the Digital Future Project (formerly the UCLA Internet Report) examined media usage among Americans, finding that there is a distinct correlation between the increase in online time and tenure and the overall decline in television viewing.
The number of hours spent online in 2003 has increased over 2002 while the number of hours spent watching TV has stayed virtually the same. Growth in online time has risen more quickly than television viewing declined.
|Average Number of Hours
Spent by Internet Users
|Source: The Digital Future Project
The Television Bureau of Advertising, in conjunction with Nielsen Media Research, discovered opposing results in its 2003 study. Adults averaged 258.4 minutes in front of the TV each day, compared to 65.8 minutes online.
The gap widened and narrowed at various demographic points. Those with household incomes below $25,000 annually spent 318.7 minutes in front of the TV, and just 30.3 minutes online. Professionals and managers spent just 199.8 minutes watching TV and 101.1 minutes on the Internet, largely due to work usage.
A greater percentage of the Internet households surveyed by the Digital Future Project indicated that they spent less time watching TV in 2003 than previous years. Nearly 38 percent said they spent less time watching television in 2003, compared to 31 percent in 2002, and 33 percent in 2001.
The greatest impact on television viewing was seen among veteran users with 7+ years online, with 45.5 percent saying they watched less since they started using the Internet. In 2001, just 35 percent said the Internet caused them to watch less TV. That swelled to 38 percent in 2002.
Other studies have also shown that Internet users are overlapping media, rather than substituting. Phil Rist, vice president of strategy for BIGresearch, said, "Our research shows that consumers are watching TV while online and vice versa...shifting their attention back and forth between the two media, sometimes minute by minute."
Simultaneous usage creates the risk that marketing messages will become diluted, and therefore less effective.
"Competition for the consumer's attention will continue to increase and be a challenge to marketers," noted Rist.
BIGresearch's June 2004 examination of media usage found that 31.5 percent of 18 to 34-year olds and 33.3 percent of those 35+ watch TV while online. Roughly 24 percent of the surveyed adults said they went online while watching television.
