Prioritizing Your Online Marketing Efforts
Organic Search vs. Local Search vs. Social Media
This page and tool were designed to help you maximize your online visibility by discovering exactly where your business should be putting greatest effort. Let's start with three simple definitions:
Organic Search refers to search results returned by the mathematical formula traditionally used by Google and Bing to rank websites in order of importance and relevance—regardless of where that search is being performed or whether the searcher is looking for a business near them.
Local Search refers to the results returned by Google and Bing for searches containing geographically related keywords—or queries that a search engine believes have a local intent. Local search engine optimization (local SEO) involves a series of techniques designed to increase visibility for businesses interested in ranking for keywords within a specific geographic region.
Social Media refers to any web-based technology that is primarily designed for communication with—or about—particular topics or businesses. Think of it as analogous to traditional word-of-mouth marketing, but online instead of in the offline world.
How these branches of online marketing fit together
The graphic at the left is meant to represent the influence of both organic search ranking factors (things related to your website) and social media factors (such as reviews left for your business at Google+ Local, Yelp, Citysearch, and other sites around the web) on local search results.
In order to truly succeed in local search, you'll need to participate in both organic search and social media activities. Notice that the green oval for local search extends beyond the blue and yellow circles of organic search and social media; there are some additional tactics specific to local search that don't apply to the other two kinds of marketing.
Got it. What's the point of this questionnaire, then?
One of the most frequent questions we're asked after presenting at the Local University educational series is "OK, so I get the idea of how these fit together ... but where do I start with all of this?"
The short answer is that not every business should focus on the same mix of techniques to achieve success. Many factors like the age of your website, whether you have someone available in-house to work on your online marketing, and the physical location of your business influence whether local search should be your primary focus, or whether you might be better served taking a look at organic search or social media first.
Simply click on your chosen answers to each of the following questions below, and you will receive our best recommendations for which of these three areas will be the smartest starting point for your online marketing campaign.

Blogging and the fairness challenge
Jan 16th
A dear friend was recently lamenting that her blog had become nothing but blah, blah, blah. There was no commentary, discussion, or meaningful debate. But ironically, she said that it was not her style to "take a stand" on any issue. She would rather go with the flow.
Obviously if you stay in the safety zone of "likability," you're never going to attract much conversation other than a polite "great post!" But think about this … on the social web, the only distinct value you can deliver is your opinion. And if you never offer an honest opinion, you're not really creating much value. You are probably well-liked but invisible.
My story
When I was in my 20s, I had a revelation that helped me be a better man and a ultimately, a better blogger.
In a performance review, my boss made an interesting observation: it seemed like it was important — maybe too important — for me to be "liked." At that time, I just assumed everybody had this same goal, but the more I thought about this, I realized that innovation, change, and progress can never occur if you are preoccupied with just being popular. I'm not saying anybody should be rude or disrespectful. I'm saying that there is tremendous value in learning how to take a stand in a kind and nurturing way.
A focus on being liked as being the end goal may get in the way of being respected. It's easy to be liked. It's difficult to become respected.
A new outlook
So I began to re-frame my perspective. It's impossible (and exhausting) to try to be "liked" by everybody. But I do think it is realistic to have a goal of being seen as "fair." Somebody who is fair can take a stand and attack issues without attacking people. Somebody who is fair can have the courage to take a strong stand and also exhibit humility and admit when they are wrong. Somebody who is fair is at peace because their beliefs are congruent with their words and actions. I think there is tremendous power in that … in life, and as a blogger.
Trading a goal of being "liked" for one of being "fair" will unleash your creativity and embolden your writing style. Having the courage to start a conversation instead of meekly repeating what you think people want to hear is liberating. And I think you might even be surprised when you voice an opinion and others chime in and say "Yes! Finally somebody is saying what needs to be said."
Trading in "like" for "fair" will make your words MATTER. Isn't that important to you?
Case study: A marketing strategy when you have nothing to sell
Jan 14th
A guest post by {grow} community member Tiffany Brown
The Reno/Tahoe area is currently experiencing one of the driest winters on record — a mere 1.5 inches of snow thus far in the 2011-2012 skiing season. The typical November to April average is 170 inches of snow per month so this has been a crisis for the area's 18 ski resorts. This presents the marketer's nightmare scenario: Having no product to sell.
Skiing is central to the Reno-Tahoe economy. Last year, 7.6 million visitors enjoyed a near-record snowfall, contributing $700 million in direct visitor spending. This made me wonder … how have the ski resorts been handling this "marketing catastrophe?"
According to the Reno Gazette Journal, ski business over the holidays was down about 50 percent but resorts are remaining optimistic … despite the fact that competing ski resorts in other states are offering vulturous promotions like free skiing at their resorts with the purchase of a Tahoe area ski resort lift ticket.
Here is an examination of how the ski resorts are waging their battles in light of this marketing crisis.
Northstar Ski Resort, Truckee , CA and Heavenly Ski Resort, South Lake Tahoe, CA
On January 9, Bill Rock, COO of Northstar California and Pete Sonntag, the GM of Heavenly Mountain Resort, issued a joint statement to their season passholders entitled "The Power of Snowmaking" which was posted to their Facebook page. They write: "It's no secret that natural snow has been hard to come by this year and we know that has been a disappointment for many of you." By beginning with a disarming and honest statement, they lure readers in to hear more about the details of their snowmaking efforts and finish with a cheerful "see you on the slopes."
The two resorts also produced a video together entitled "Letter to the Guests of Tahoe:"
With just 30 percent of Heavenly open, the resort is relying on discounted lift tickets to draw crowds. They have a lively Facebook and Twitter presence emhpasizing "no other mountain compares to the inspiring scenic beauty, varied terrain and rockin' nightlife."
Their Facebook page is currently running a "Heavenly Angels" contest, which serves as a nice distraction from the weather scenario and promises a free trip to Heavenly. The resort also hosts a blog complete with up-to-date articles, videos, photos and more to keep visitors current on all the latest happenings at Heavenly.
Squaw Valley Ski Resort, Olympic Valley, CA and Alpine Meadows, Tahoe City, CA
Andy Wirth, President and CEO of Squaw Valley addressed season passholders in the form of a newsletter to dispel any rumors and/or myths about the resort closing down. Throughout the newsletter, Wirth gives his honest perspective on the situation, as well as a thorough overview of weather pattern history and forecasts. He ends on an optimistic note, stating: "We anticipate, based on current forecasts, the high pressure ridge to the west will break down in mid to late January, which in turn will open up the corridor for significant snowstorms coming into Lake Tahoe."
Mount Rose Ski Resort, Reno, NV
In addition to pushing deals and information about ski conditions via their web site, through email blasts, and social media, Mt. Rose is focusing on word of mouth, testimonials, photos, and videos. According to Kayla Anderson, PR/Web Manager at Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe, "All of the people who come here are impressed with our grooming, snowmaking, and general conditions, so we're just really trying to get that word out."
Similar to some of the other ski resort Facebook pages, Mt. Rose's page is filled with information regarding current conditions, photos, videos, discount packages, and more. In lieu of snow, the resort is offering a few great deals include $10 lift tickets for teens and kids valid any day through January 20th. They post online daily specials here to entice people to come by and visit any day of the week.
The take-aways
When faced with a crisis, it's important to remember the four Rs of "react, research, respond, and remorse."
These resorts are standing tall in the face of a perilous situation. They are listening intently to what their customers are saying. They are keeping the lines of communication and open and creating an honest dialogue. And they are pushing though this crisis while remaining optimistic and hopeful.
What would your marketing reaction be if your company was in crisis? What advice would you give our resorts?

Jan 12th
Happy to welcome my daughter Lauren Schaefer back as a guest blogger on {grow} …
Hello readers! It has been too long and I've missed you! I've been a bit busy graduating from college, moving to New York City, starting my job as a professional event planner and writing my own blog that has nothing to do with social media. But now I've had some time to breathe, so time to write!
As I have immersed myself in this new "young-professional" role, I've been noticing some social media trends among my twenty-something peers that you might find surprising. What's hot? What's useful? What do we not give a crap about?
Here are some intelligent and good-looking opinions on the platforms that we loathe and love:
Twitter: Among young professionals, Twitter is becoming the holiest of holy. The exclusive and elite. The smart and creative. You can be witty, you can be hip, #YouCanComeUpWithHashtagsThatAreSoBrilliant. And best of all, grandma — who is all over Facebook — doesn't know about it. Twitter is the world without the politics and drama of Facebook and it is the coolest of the cool right now.
LinkedIn: Every day I receive new notifications from my classmates. FINALLY. Hop on board friends. It's been a realization for my group that not only is this a tool we need while looking for our jobs, it's also necessary to keep movin' on up.
Facebook: No, we're not leaving Facebook. My generation will never really let go of Facebook. We've gone through too much together. Too many photos, too many exes to stalk, too much history together. But we have also trudged through all of the constant change Facebook has put us through and frankly, it's exhausting.
Among my peers, there are two classes of people on Facebook — those on Twitter and those who aren't. Those who are "Twitter-less" continue to post their lives, their trials, their tribulations on FB. But those of us on the 140 character machine, bitch openly on Twitter and "family-friendly filter" on Facebook. Twitter is the conversation. Facebook is just a place to archive photos post lame jokes. We can have Facebook open at work because we'll never post anything incriminating there. Twitter is where the juicy stuff lives.
Google+ In a word, FAIL. Seriously. We don't give a crap about our impact on SEO. I joined and built my "circles" and there have only been two updates ever … and one is from my mother saying, "great , something else I need to update. "
Everything that is cool about Google+ can be found somewhere else and we're already happy and comfortable with those other platforms.
Now, let's talk about a hot social media site for the young professional crowd and you probably have never heard of it: OK Cupid.
Yep. A dating site.
But there is something very interesting going on here. Once I got past the initial "creepy" factor of realizing that I'm old enough to be on a dating site, I discovered an exciting new social networking model emerging here. It's kind of like a combination of Facebook and Twitter for people you don't know — people who are not currently your friends but who might become your friends, or in Cupid-terms, an "adventure buddy."
Many of my friends are now spending more time on OK Cupid than Facebook. They are finding it fun to socialize, share restaurant recommendations, chat about music and books, etc. with new people who have similar interests.
Of course there are other social sites but I'm over my word limit and Dad is ringing the bell.
What do you think about these observations? Any surprises?

Researchers and practitioners head to San Jose
USENIX Security 2008
The 17th Security Symposium met in San Jose, California, USA, during the week of July 28, with a refereed paper track and Invited Talks.
USENIX Security might lack the buzz surrounding DefCon, but the content more than makes up for this. The competition for getting a paper accepted is fierce, with only 27 of 174 papers getting the nod from the Program Committee this year. And you will find the research behind some of the hot topics in security in these papers.
Niels Provos delivered a paper and an invited talk, both about the work he has been doing at Google to uncover infected websites. Google, like other search engine companies, creates constantly updated caches of web pages. Provos and his associates have built software that scans tens of millions of web pages each day, selecting a million URLs to load into instrumented virtual machines running Windows and IE.
Provos said that one in a thousand URLs will direct IE to a malware download site that can result in Windows being automatically exploited – a drive-by download. The distribution of malware-infected web servers by type is roughly equivalent, so visiting a financial or social networking site is almost as dangerous as hitting sites with adult content.
Researchers like to collect new malware variants, and a team from Johns Hopkins (that included Provos) built the world's most flexible server to do just this. Sam Small explained how they used a natural language learning approach to design a server that can elicit responses from a wide range of protocols, allowing the researchers to collect malware for analysis – imagine a server that responds "correctly" as if it were running more than 500 web services.
Although MIT students were prevented from presenting their talk about getting free Mass Transit rides at DefCon, two students from the University of Virginia and two members of Chaos Computer Club Berlin wrote a paper detailing how to recover the encryption keys used in the same RFID chips (Mifare) that the MIT students wanted to describe. Their technique required both physical methods (acetone to separate the chip, then polishing to remove layers) and software techniques to identify the encryption key encoded in the revealed gates.
More recent research getting attention involved reading the DRAM of systems after they had been turned off. William Clarkson presented "Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys," which was awarded best student paper, and showed how data can be extracted from memory more than half an hour after a system has been shut down – if the RAM is kept cool. Clarkson proved that he and his co-authors could recover the encryption keys used by OS X's File Vault, Vista's Bit Locker, and several schemes used in Linux to encrypt hard drives.
The best paper award went to Jian Zhang, Phillip Porras, and Johannes Ullrich, who wrote about their system for creating highly predictive blacklisting. By grouping sites both regionally and according to their attack surface, they improved on the effectiveness of both the Global Worst Offender List (GWOL) and Local Worst Offender List (LWOL).
I found comments by Dawson Engler, one of the founders of Coverity, a static code-checking tool, really incredible. During his invited talk, Engler said that many of Coverity's customers object to improvements in their tools because it finds more potential bugs – and thus makes the customers' code look worse. It seems that many organizations would prefer not to know where their bugs are.
The papers are available at http://www.usenix.org/events/sec08/tech/, and you can find video streams of invited talks courtesy of Linux Pro Magazine [1] (Figure 1).

I am working on my physics lab, and I am trying toderive a formula for the intitial speed of a ball in terms ofmeasurable physical quanties. I also need to figure out aformula to use to calculate the intitial speed of thependulum. Other than search for a formula, I've listed whatI've done below to provide the physical quantities that I'vemeasured:
1) I fired a metal speed from a ballistic pendulumapparatus into the pendulum and recorded the measured angle. I did this five times and took to average of the five to get theangle that I'm using.
2) I measured the mass (m_1) of the sphere
3) I measured the mass (m_2) of the pendulum
4) I measured the distance from the center of thependulum to the pivot point.
* I've been searching for a formulas everywhere, but Ijust can't figure out what to use. Everything thatI find relates it to time and I'm not supposed to measure the timewith a timer. If someone could suggest a formula I'd greatlyappreciate it as I can't proceed with my lab until I figure thisout!

Low-cost carrier easyJet has announced that it will be introducing allocated seating for passengers who are prepared to pay a fee. Carolyn McCall, the airline's chief executive, claimed that this was not another way of squeezing cash out of customers as the scheme would be revenue neutral.
Analysts in the City have been told that easyJet had managed to reduce losses because of higher baggage fees and that its latest move was prompted by a desire to ease the stress for passengers who do not wish to scramble for their seating.
Premium places at the front of the aircraft or by exits will cost passengers an extra £12. Other chosen seats will cost £3. McCall said that the company had been doing some research and found that some passengers were put off flying with easyJet because it did not allocate seats. She hopes that a change in policy will make those customers reconsider.
Unreserved seating was first introduced because it meant that boarding times were cut down which meant a speedier turnaround of aircraft. The chief executive said that if allocated seating meant that operations were made slower, then the idea would be scrapped.
The airline, which flies to destinations in 30 countries, expects to announce pre-tax profits for the first half of the year to 31 March of between £110 and £120 million. This is compared to original forecasts for the six months of between £140 and £160 million.

Many Americans are familiar with the admonition that they should beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. However, it is getting increasingly difficult to tell who the wolves are and who the sheep are. Take the National Resources Defense Council, for instance. According to its web site the NRDC "works to protect wildlife and wild place and to ensure a healthy environment for all life on earth."
But all isn't as it seems. This modest description of their group fails to reveal the radical anti-market attitude of this organization. Founded in 1970 in New York City as an environmental advocacy group, the NRDC has proven itself to be a reckless opponent of technological development and progress.
Few may recall when the NRDC's alarmist activities led to the "Alar scare". Claiming that the growth enhancer used by many apple growers - "Alar" - was toxic, NRDC engaged in a scare campaign that was so effective that nationwide apple sales declined precipitously and more than 20,000 apple growers suffered great financial harm.
Ultimately Alar was withdrawn from the market but the facts about its safety haven't changed. The amount of exposure necessary for it to be considered dangerous requires consuming the equivalent of over 5,000 gallons (20,000 L) of apple juice per day. Drinking anything - including water - at that excessive level would be harmful. But unfortunately facts were the least of the concerns of the NRDC.
Well, they are back at it. Their latest foray into the court house involves "phthalates" and two lawsuits against the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The NRDC is using scare tactics and the threat of legal pressure to manipulate the CPSC's scientific reasoning.
The first of these lawsuits involves a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The NRDC is accusing the CPSC of refusing to provide to the public its basis for determining the safety of phthalates. What are phthalates? They are chemicals used primarily to make plastic and vinyl soft and flexible, and are important ingredients in hundreds of products in our homes, offices and schools. These chemicals have been used safely for more than 50 years.
Both US and European governmental regulatory agencies have extensively reviewed the most commonly used phthalates. In the case of DINP, the primary phthalate used in children's toys, these government regulators have determined that DINP does not pose any threat of harm to human health or the environment. In 2002, The CPSC concluded after a five-year risk assessment, that DINP was safe for use in toys and children's products.

The Council (1) - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
Jim drives to a recording studio and locks himself into a booth. He then plays a record with his briefing concerning Frank Wayne, the number one Syndicate boss. Frank has taken over honest businesses and has a system to deposit Syndicate funds in Swiss bank accounts, putting a drain on U.S. gold reserves. The IMF must get the Syndicate records, at Frank's country estate, and turn them over to the authorities.
Jim assembles his normal team plus plastic surgeon Dr. Emerson Reese. At the briefing, Jim demonstrates a fake model based on the back half of his body, which allows him to slip away. Reese tells the team that he can make Rollin look like Frank, and that he has taught Cinnamon the procedure. Willy has rented the apartment in Jim's name and made sure there is a manhole in front. Rollin has located the safe in Frank's office, behind a bookcase, but the Syndicate had their own man set the tumblers. Barney has a special lamp set up and designed a gun that will jam on cue for Rollin. Willy asks about Johnny Bibo and Jim informs the team that they'll take him to Frank's place in the morning once he loses his case, and force him to dig his own grave. He figures that Bibo will talk to them about Frank, who he grew up with. Cinnamon has made sure the newspapers will run a story about the Senate's new chief investigator... Jim.
Willy and Dr. Reese drive out into the country near Frank's estate. Mob bosses Vito Lugana and Al Morgan are reading the article about Jim and are worried, but Frank isn't impressed. Frank checks the banking arrangements that they've made and confirms that they now run everything through their Swiss bank.
As Jim and Barney drive up to the estate, Frank sends his girlfriend Ginny out of the room and meets with Vito and Al. Frank's henchman Johnny assures his boss that Bibo is out back. Jim and Barney burst in with a warrant and begin searching the place. Frank has Johnny call his lawyer and complains as they turn over the place, but Jim is unsympathetic.
At the apartment, Rollin demonstrates a prop silicon injector to Cinnamon, warning that she'll be taking off his makeup in front of three men that would kill them both.
Jim finds Frank's safe but before he can order Frank to order it, Frank's lawyer Cheevers arrives with a cease-and-desist. While everyone else watches Jim tear up the order, Barney plants a bug. Johnny threatens Jim with a gun, ready to shoot him as a trespasser, and Jim leaves with Barney. As they drive off, Barney tunes into the bug and they listen as Frank says that they'll move everything to the office.
Johnny cleans out the safe for when they go in later. Frank has Al bring in Bibo while Johnny gives his boss a shave.
Jim and Barney join Willy and Reese on the hillside. They figure they have 20 minutes and Reese tells Jim that he has the equipment necessary for the job at hand.
Bibo comes in and Vito studiously ignores his greeting. Frank tells Bibo that he has the council that he asked for and has to accept their decision. He then asks what happened to the missing quarter million dollars in Syndicate funds. Bibo claims to have no idea what happens to the $2.4 million he transferred to Switzerland, and confirms that Vito gave him the money. He tries to blame the bankers in Switzerland but Frank tells him that Al checked the receipts at the Swiss bank. The Syndicate boss advances on Bibo with his shaving razor and cuts his jacket, then places the blade to Bib's throat and demands the truth. Bibo bursts into tears and tells them that he needed the money for a babe. Frank doesn't care and tells him that his childhood friend broke the rules. All three men vote against Bibo and Frank gives Bibo a white lily, the death sentence. Johnny takes Bibo out and Frank ignores his pleas.
Johnny grabs a shovel and takes Bibo out behind the house. Willy and the others see him, grab the medical equipment, and sneak up on the two men. Meanwhile, Frank's enforcer forces Bibo to dig his own grave, pistol-whipping him when he begs for his life.
At the apartment, Rollin and Cinnamon work on plaster molds for Rollin's mask.
Johnny orders Bibo to stop digging and then knocks him unconscious. He then kicks him into the grave and covers him over, burying him alive. The IMF agents watch but do nothing, and Reese tells Jim they have to get to him in the next two and a half minutes at most. However, Johnny settles down for a cigarette and Reese warns that they're running out of time. Jim has Willy throw some rocks toward the house and Johnny hears the noise. He goes to investigate and the team moves in. They dig Bibo up and Barney applies the resuscitator. When he doesn't get a heartbeat, Reese administers adrenaline and performs CPR. Bibo finally revives and they take him to the apartment. He refuses to help at first but Jim threatens to bury him if he doesn't cooperate. Bibo warns that Rollin looks nothing like Frank but they tell him to let them worry about it. He agrees to help and informs them that Frank is left-handed, and then walks Rollin through Frank's other mannerisms.
At an IMF hotel room, Barney and Willy cut a hole in the wall from the adjoining room and then put a bureau with a one-way mirror in front of it.
Bibo continues to give Rollin tips on how to impersonate Frank. He warns them that Ginny will see through the disguise in a minute but Rollin just smiles. Once they're satisfied, Jim goes to pick up Wayne.
Frank and the others take the Syndicate files to the safe in Frank's office. He dismisses Vito and Al's concerns about Jim and they go to get lunch. Jim and Barney are outside and serve Frank with a subpoena for a U.S. Senate committee. When Johnny tries to intervene, Barney disarms him and Jim hauls Frank away while Vito goes to call Cheevers.
Jim takes Frank to the hotel room and shows him Bibo, apparently dead and covered in dirt. Frank refuses to tell them anything but Jim warns that he won't be leaving until he tells them everything. In the next room, Rollin watches Frank and listens to his voice while working on his mask. Jim slaps Frank around a bit and they continue the interrogation, giving Rollin plenty of time to master Frank's voice.
The next morning, Cheevers tells Vito and Al that he's unable to locate Frank. The mobsters don't believe it and tell the counselor to find Frank and soon.
Jim starts beating Frank until Barney pulls him off of the mobster and suggests that he take a break. Once Jim leaves, Barney gives Frank a cup of coffee. Frank knocks it out of his hand and takes his gun, just as the IMF planned. The mobster then calls Al and gives them his location. Johnny and another thug arrive and get a janitor to show them the service room. Meanwhile, Frank takes Barney toward the door at gunpoint, but Rollin comes in and knocks him... disguised as Frank.
Johnny puts on a janitor's outfit and knocks out the janitor, and then heads for the hotel room. He knocks out Willy, posing as a street cop guarding the door, and Rollin/Frank orders them inside. When Barney puts up a fight, Rollin/Frank shoots him with blanks and leaves with the two thugs. Meanwhile, Jim and the others take Frank to Reese.
Rollin/Frank meets with Al, Vito, Cheevers, and Johnny and says that he plans to settle the score with Jim. They tell him in no uncertain terms that he's taking a freighter out of the country, and one way or another he's out of it.

Video Games Before Bed May Not Shortchange Slumber
HealthDay Reporter
Latest Sleep News
THURSDAY, April 15 (HealthDay News) -- Parents who worry that their teenaged son won't sleep well if he indulges in a violent video game right before bedtime may be fretting needlessly.
A new study found that teens who played the popular video game "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" took only slightly longer to fall asleep than teens who watched a documentary.
A report on the finding appears in the April 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
Australian researchers found that it took teens a median of 7.5 minutes to fall asleep after playing the video game, only slightly longer than the three minutes it took them to nod off after watching the Academy Award-winning March of the Penguins on DVD.
The video gamers were only slightly less sleepy than the documentary watchers following each activity, although they displayed a slight increase in cognitive alertness. The researchers found no significant differences in physiologic arousal between the two groups, and both ended up sleeping normally.
But the teens played the game under very strict conditions, ones that might be very different from what happens at home, explained lead researcher Michael Gradisar, senior lecturer in clinical child psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide.
"The teens only played the video game for 50 minutes, and they only played it on a single night," Gradisar said. "Despite finding that they were mentally stimulated playing the video game, I believe the 'dose' of 50 minutes was too low to have any major ramifications on their sleep."
The short amount of time also kept the boys from becoming too wrapped up in the action. "Being limited to 50 minutes didn't allow the teens to become emotionally invested in the video game," Gradisar said. "Thus, if their character died, it didn't matter."
The researchers said their study did not receive any funding from the video game industry.
The research involved 13 boys between the ages of 14 and 18 who normally fell asleep in less than 15 minutes.
The teens sat in bed beneath the covers with electrodes attached and lights dimmed, and were asked to either watch the documentary or play the video game for just 50 minutes before going to sleep. The 50-minute time period was chosen because it is the maximum amount of continuous play recommended by game marketer Sony Corp., according to the study. A week later, the same teens returned to perform whichever task they didn't get the first time around.
Eleven teens took longer to fall asleep after playing the video game than after watching the documentary, while two fell asleep faster. Four teens actually fell asleep during the documentary, a slow-moving and tranquil movie that was chosen to provide contrast to the frenetic video game.
Seven of the teens told researchers they felt less sleepy after playing the video game than after watching the documentary, while four indicated the same level of sleepiness and two felt less sleepy after watching the movie. When the teens slept, researchers found all slept normally with appropriate amounts of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and slow-wave sleep.
"These results are a bit surprising, in that a stimulating activity right before bedtime did not alter teens' established sleep patterns. This is good news for parents," said Cheryl K. Olson, co-director of the Center for Mental Health and Media at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
However, Olson noted that the study did not reflect the reality of teenage life, in which a multitude of media are all competing for kids' attention.
"This study was done under tightly controlled conditions that rule out other ways media can disrupt sleep," she said. "Other studies have shown problems with children using media instead of sleeping. They sacrifice sleep to spend more time watching TV, playing games or texting friends."
Gradisar agreed, noting that the 50-minute limit is one few teens would be expected to follow on their own initiative.
"We found that teens in our study were less sleepy after playing the video game compared to watching the documentary DVD, which suggests if they were left to their own devices, the teens would have chosen to continue playing the video game, which would have eaten into the beginning of their sleep opportunity," he said.
Teens might also play longer if they play a game more than one night, because they will become more emotionally invested in the game as their character progresses through the story, he added.
"So I guess the moral of this study, particularly for parents, is moderate your teens' video game playing," Gradisar said.

BIB NUMBER: On the eve prior to race day, pin your bib securely to your chest. It is mandatory that you pick up your bib on Friday or Saturday. The other option is to select and pay to have your bib mailed to you.
BIB MAILING: If you ordered bib mailing, they are in the mail. The deadline for bib mailing was February 15th.
PARKING: The lots around SAP Center will be charging $5 on race day. We don't see a dime of that parking money, apologize for the extra cost and encourage you to take advantage of VTA, get dropped off or beat the system and park on the streets. You can also ride your bike and our friend Steven will watch it for you. The last option is to check out these driving directions to open lots:
Access to Parking from the South:
‐ SAP CENTER Lots: If arriving before 7:30am you will be able to access the pavilion lots from the south via Autumn St., left on W. Santa Clara St. and right into main lots
‐ Take the Julian St. exit off of 87. (W. Santa Clara St. exit will force you to turn right). At Julian, an SJPD officer will be there to quickly get you through the light off the freeway, you'll make a left onto Julian and a left onto N. Montgomery where you will enter the SAP Center lot from the north entrance.
Access to Parking from the North:
‐ Take the Julian St. exit off of 87. Make a right on Julian, a left on N. Montgomery and head right into the SAP Center lot from the north entrance.
VTA Options: This bus rules, take it. Don't know which route can get you to and from the Start & Finish Line? VTA makes it easy with their route searches and maps.
RUNNER DROP OFF: We have created a runner drop-off curb at the corner of St. John & Autumn St. You can get dropped off and your mom can beat you to Santana Row for the dramatic finish and maybe a little breakfast.
UPS SWEAT CHECK: NEW RULES FOR UPS GEAR CHECK: Since the Boston Marathon tragedy we have tried to tighten up security at all running events. This year NO BAGS WILL BE ACCEPTED OTHER THAN THOSE PROVIDED BY THE RACE. We will have bags for you at the gear check but you cannot check your backpack or your weird uncle's fanny pack. This is for everyone's safety. The fine folks in brown will again be at the starting line to accept your sweats, gear, and unmentionables. Ensure you have time to check your goods, show up early, and look for the beautiful line of UPS trucks BEHIND THE STARTING LINE.
Then guess what? They drive it straight to the finish festival at Santana Row. Then guess what? You pick it up or we get a new sweat suit. Thanks UPS for making our lives easier.
START: The race starts at 8am (sharp!) at the corner of Santa Clara St & Autumn St next to the SAP Center in Downtown San Jose. If you don't know where this is then just google it. You're likely from the greater Silicon Valley area and you should know all about the google. It's a really cool website.
Follow parking instructions; drop off your sweats, use one of the 60 portos, and put yourself into the proper runner corral. More on that here.
Start Line Corrals: Due to the increased size of the 408k, we will be breaking the start into four corrals based on the times given at registration. On race day, you will line up accordingly. And don't worry, your time doesn't start until you cross the starting line. This process was selected based on when you registered and your predicted finish time. You are allowed to move back Corrals, but are not allowed to move up Corrals to a faster pace.
8:00am CORRAL A: Numbers 1-1500 (Your bib numbers will be TEAL and you'll have a black "A" in the bottom right hand corner. You guessed it "A" stands for Corral A.
8:10am CORRAL B: Bib Numbers 1501-3000 (Your bib numbers will be in ORANGE and you'll have a "B" in the right hand corner. Yah.
8:20am CORRAL C: Bib Numbers 3001-4500 (Your numbers will be in GREEN and you'll have an "C" in the right hand corner.
8:30am CORRAL D: Bib Numbers 4501- 6300 (Your numbers will be in WHITE and you'll have a"D"…in the left hand corner. Just kidding it will be in the right hand corner like everyone else. Gotcha.
Enjoy the Corral that you have been assigned because you might meet your soul mate.
COURSE TIME LIMIT: While all levels of runners and walkers are welcome at the 408k they will need to maintain an 18 min mile pace to make the cut‐off. At 9:45am Stevens Crk Blvd will be re-opened, runners & walkers will be asked to use the sidewalk, abide by traffic laws, and continue to the finish line which will be open until 10:00am.
COURSE: http://www.the408k.com/race-info/traffic/
FINISH: The finish line is at Santana Row (We've mentioned that multiple times because we view as a bit of a selling point. It's near Stevens Creek Blvd…again try the google)
POST-RACE: "I survived the 4th Annual 408k, what did I win?" At the completion of your race, all San Jose 408kers will receive a Finishers Medal & Post-Race Food from our sponsors & vendors… and trust us, don't pack a lunch. We've heard there's a rumor going around that Santana Row has a few tasty restaurants on-site that will be opening up early to fill you up with tasty food and drink specials!
Official Pre-Race Pasta Party: Pasta Pomodoro's: after you pick up your bib number on Friday or Saturday, stop in for a bite to eat at Pasta Pomodoro. Show your bib, and 20% of the cost of your dinner goes straight to the Pat Tillman Foundation — pretty cool if you ask us.
T-SHIRT: Your 2015 SJ 408k t-shirt will be available at packet pickup.
BUSING: You're probably wondering, "if it starts downtown and ends at Santana Row then how do I get home?" First off, nice work detective. Now, three options:
(1) Get dropped off at the start and tell your mom to meet you at the Row.!
(2) Cool down and run back!
(3) Party at Santana Row and take the free shuttles buses back to the pavilion. Our Official Transportation Provider, Royal Coach Tours, will be ready to roll after the race.
Your bib is your ticket back onto the bus. Buses will start running at 8:45am across the street from Santana Row near Winchester Mystery House and the theatres (on Olin St).

My name is Tony Carpenter. I'm a real estate broker in Portland, OR that enjoys running and music and jokes and a cold beer. This profile used to be associated with my ex-wife and me. Now it's just me. If you would like to contact Lora for lodgings at our old place in Tigard feel free. We'd hosted many people since 2012. We did our best to be excellent hosts. Now I travel more and I look to be an excellent guest. If I'm traveling with my GF it's possible we're traveling with her Great Dane. If it's just me I am likely pet free. I will respect your house and try to leave it better than I found it. Communication is always key. I'm pretty easy going.

If Scotland leaves, we can blame Heath, Letwin, Cameron and Labour
As of this moment, even as I write this blog in rainy London, the threat of Scottish secession looms larger: with some bookmakers, the odds on YES or GOODBYE BRITAIN have just peaked – literally ten minutes ago – at 9/4, almost a 1 in 3 chance; and the latest polls put YES within a three per cent swing of victory.
Three per cent. That's the swing needed to break up a 300 year-old nation, arguably the most successful and stable in human history. A three per cent swing is required to split Great Britain in two, to make my partly Scottish daughter a foreigner in her own country, to cripple the Labour party, decimate the Lib Dems, shell-shock the Conservative and Unionist party, and send the UK into a constitutional chaos from which it might take decades to emerge.
You can forget your dreams of EU withdrawal and deficit reduction and twice weekly bin collection: they are small beer compared to this. Whatever Alex Salmond says, a Scottish secession will be calamitously complex and difficult, and its consequences will dominate the remaining political lives of many of us: as we try to divide the indivisible, as we struggle to bisect assets shared over centuries, from military bases to fishing grounds, from late colonial possessions to the BBC.
It will be like the world's worst divorce, multiplied a trillion-fold; it will leave millions of people embittered or angry on either side – denied what they see as their rightful identity. It will be hellish. Yes, better, happier, quieter countries might possibly emerge at the end of it – they will certainly be more Right-wing as they adjust to a cold new reality – but the getting there will be prolonged, and miserable, and tediously, agonisingly fretful.
So how did we reach this stage where we contemplate sawing our country in two? As far as I can see it, there are four guilty parties.
Number 1. Edward Heath, for taking us into Europe. We wouldn't be here today if we hadn't joined the European Union. The EU, instead of uniting countries, has proved dangerously fissiparous, as ever smaller regions see a way of asserting identity – while remaining safe within a comfort zone of European quasi-Federalism. Where Scotland is now, Catalonia and the Basque Country are surely following (only with extra guns). After them, who knows: Belgium? Northern Italy?
Number 2. Oliver Letwin. It's a little known fact that Oliver Letwin, perhaps the most idiotic smart-aleck in all British politics, came up with the concept of the poll tax, and persuaded Margaret Thatcher to adopt it against her better judgement. The poll tax was first imposed on Scotland, and the rest is history, or maybe psychopathology. The Tories never really recovered north of the border, and a disunified UK is the consequence.
Number 3. Just about everyone in the New Labour government. Remember that Scottish Devolution was meant to "kill off Nationalism stone dead". That's what Labour said would happen. The trouble is, Labour are a congenitally selfish group of ideological careerists who can never see their country without thinking of a way to put party first, and so Labour refused to give Scotland proper "devo max", i.e. full autonomy, which would have been a durable solution.
Why didn't they grant devo max? Because devo max would have meant addressing the West Lothian Question – i.e. the continued and anomalous presence of Scots MPs, mainly Labour, voting on English issues at Westminster. And Labour had no intention of removing the unfairness that worked in their favour: they wanted to keep all those lovely Scottish Labour MPs in London, while retaining Scotland as a private fiefdom.
This destabilised everything. It also alienated the English, which further alienated the Scots. A state of affairs which is now leading to the Partition of Britain.
Number 4. David Cameron. Even at the last moment, as he negotiated this referendum, Cameron could have given Scots a devo max option. This would have secured Scotland within the Union – as it was the clear preference of most Scots (according to polls). It would also, by the by, have scuppered Labour down south.
Yet Cameron flunked it. Because he is a fine statesman but a truly terrible politician, with an uncanny instinct for making exactly the wrong choice. His reward, should Scotland vote YES, will be to go down in history as a modern Lord North, the man who lost America. Except Cameron's epitaph will be worse. The man who lost half his own country.
So there it is. The roll call of indy-shame. If your grand-kids ask you in 50 years, "why on earth is there a great big border down the middle of this beautiful island?" you will be able to give them the names: Heath, Letwin, Cameron, and the entire Labour party 1997-2010. I hope they are heating up the pitchforks in Hell.

Man City vs Man United: Predicting Red Devils Starting Line Up
Here's how Sir. Alex Ferguson should line-up his side ahead of the biggest Manchester derby in decades.
With only a three point gap between Premier League leaders Manchester United and second place Manchester City, their mouth-watering derby/possible title deciding match on Monday night is indeed "unmissable". I have even changed my plans to ensure I will not be missing out what is easily the biggest Manchester derby in my lifetime.
As a lifelong fan on Man United, each game I always try to predict the starting like up and now since I'm a new contributor of WhatCulture.com, I will share with the world who I predict as the starting eleven.
GK: David De Gea
Obvious pick. Has played out of his skin since December, hopefully he'll continue his class form this Monday.
RB: Rafael
Who else could you put there? I think he has been United's best right back all season. He does lack in certain areas but he normally does a steady job. He's fast and quick to tackle opposing attackers of United's challengers. His great connection with Antonio Valencia has been phenomenal, I don't expect that to change on Monday.
CB: Rio Ferdinand
Rio Ferdinand has been a vital asset to United's back-line this season. Thankfully he hasn't had many problems with his back this season. Don't let us down Rio, usually you don't!
CB: Jonny Evans
After being quoted by one of Football's most successful managers, Ales Ferguson, hailed Evans as:
"arguably the best defender in the country"
Jonny Evans has indeed being brilliant thus far this season.
LB: Nani
It was hard not including Ashley Young in this, but Nani has gotten his form back and he has a point to prove. If Fergie does start him, he'll play out of his skin.
RM: Antonio Valencia
Do I really need to explain why?
CM: Paul Scholes
One of United's most influential players of all time, Paul Scholes has been playing out of his skin this season. United can rely on Scholes to stick that midfield together and create countless great passing; as he always does.
CM: Michael Carrick
Often classified 'underrated' by Football fans, Carrick has played consistently all season. I can't remember him making many mistakes or causing costly points. Hopefully he will continue his consistent form Monday.
SC: Danny Welbeck
Sadly for Hernandez, Danny Welbeck is keeping him on the bench. Fergie seems to be more high on Welbeck than Hernandez. Welbeck has been providing goals last couple of months, a goal against City is what I predict.
SC: Wayne Rooney
He's Wayne Rooney.
It's really tough to predict who will win, I'm going to go for a 2-1 United win though. Rooney and Welbeck to score. Sadly, I think Tevez will score for City but on the night it won't be enough!
