"That's why your first task should be simply searching for your business on various online business directories (like Citysearch and Google)," Tsai says. "Make a list of the skeleton profiles you find and note any changes that need to be made. Most online directories will allow you to log in and claim your page. From there, you can report and correct any errors and merge duplicate pages. As you're working, make sure that every online entity you manage displays your business information in exactly the same way to avoid accidentally creating more duplicates.
Set up an online storefront…As you first develop your online presence, you may not have much free time or extra money to devote to this task. That's okay—according to Tsai, it's perfectly fine—even advisable—to take a minimalistic approach when building and furnishing your online storefront (i.e., your website). Bells and whistles aren't nearly as important as making sure your website is professional, accurate, and representative of your offline storefront experience in terms of general tone and branding.
"Specifically, your site needs to convey reliable, accurate, and up-to-date information," she states. "It should have a prominently displayed way to contact your business that allows browsers to easily get in touch with you if they want to. It should also have a trouble-free way for customers to read and write testimonials or reviews about the service or product you provide.
"Most importantly, your website needs to have the right keywords (and enough of them) located throughout the main and secondary site pages to ensure that you'll rank in the first few pages when prospective customers are searching for what you offer.
…and monitor the neighborhood. One of the most exciting—and most frightening—aspects of the Internet is that it opens up a constant conversation among businesses, existing customers, and potential customers. Consumers who have used your product or service can publicly post glowing reviews or scathing criticisms, neither of which you can completely control, and both of which can have a marked effect on your present and future success.
Put yourself on the map. Most likely, you identified a few skeleton profiles when you searched for your business on popular online directories. Now it's time to strategically augment them. Based on your location, identify the top three online directories consumers use when searching for the product or service you offer. For instance, social and crowd-sourced sites like Yelp and Foursquare tend to be more popular in major metro areas, while more traditional directories like Yellow Pages, Citysearch, and MerchantCircle are utilized in more rural areas. Make sure you prioritize search engine directories like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Get your niche targeting RIGHT and you're smiling all the way to the bank!
(proof later)
But the sad fact is …
… far too many marketers these days consider market research and niche selection at the bottom of their marketing priorities. Hence why most set up yet another weight loss website targeting "lose belly fat" as their 'primary' keywords.
Have you ever heard the saying: "You're fighting a losing battle!" ?
I want you to think about these two scenarios:
You've been dabbling in marketing online for a while…
You've read almost every "How to Guides About Online Marketing" out there. You have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done.
You have a few websites in various niches, weight loss, DIY energy, get your ex back and so on…
Your market research was pretty much non–existent and your chosen niches weren't really researched properly.
You found what you thought would be a HOT selling product and knocked up a landing page (not your bad, after all that's what all the "other" how to guides tell you to do).
But you've yet to make any "real" money. But what heck, it must be the niche right?
There's tons more products on ClickBank that's selling like crazy so I'll just knock up another landing page, no biggy.
The next one's bound to work…
Here's if you had to do it "differently"…
You've read a few "How to Guides About Online Marketing" that's out there.
You took some of what the best ones said and devised a formula.
You realized a while ago that a Need/Want/Desire (NWD) has to be there FIRST before a solution can be found.
You don't follow everyone else (you're different – right?). After all these "dime a dozen" weight loss sites are everywhere.
You want to stand out from the crowd, really get to know your niche and become a trusted authority (you don't have to be an expert – more later) that peeps go to and spend their money.
You have a few websites, all in hungry buying niches that you've chosen based on extensive niche and market research.
You know your niches inside out before you even think about creating a website.
Your choices are fully thought out processes and you have considerable knowledge of the "who's what's, where's and how's" of your niches.
You get your niches converting before you move on to another niche.
You make around $2000 to $3000 a month from a couple websites you've optimized. You also know that in a year or so time you will have doubled if not tripled your monthly earnings.
Your marketing campaign is set up for success or doomed to failure the very second you decide to enter a specific niche.
Re-read that last sentence again.
Choosing a niche is the very first "vital" step that you MUST do for marketing online. Every thing that you do after that is determined by the quality of that initial (hopefully 'informed') decision.
So what are you going to see in 'The Niche Selection'?
It was written for marketers just like you to become a master in profitable niche selection just like the marketer in scenario #2.
I've divided it into three parts. It's extremely important that you don't skip any steps or processes detailed.
You'll be shown techniques on how to come up with more niche ideas than you'll ever know what to do with!
This is a massive area where you'll learn 18 different techniques to find those HOT niches. Every single one of them laid out for you to replicate.
You can't fail!
But if you miss this step you may as well pack up and forget internet marketing.
Don't even think about a plan, a system, or a website BEFORE you've found a profitable niche.
It may not be the "sexiest" step of internet marketing, but it's the MOST crucial!
Learn how to put your niches to the profitability test.
… but are you sure?
Are you sure that the niche or sub-niche you've chosen WILL make you money. Will paying customers be ready and wanting to buy what you're offering?
Let's go back the Scenario #1 above. Let's say that person put up a weight loss website in the hope they're gonna crush it. After all, the weight loss market is a massive money pot – right?
But he/she didn't do the homework within the niche to see if his chosen product converts within the niche/sub-niche they're targeting.
Often a specific product will only appeal to a specific "sub-niche" within that market. But you must know which product and which sub-niche to target.
Get that down-pat and peeps WILL buy it regardless.
For example …
… a "magic pill" for weight loss often performs well (yes, people are lazy – many want a magic pill). It will sell like HOT cakes to a specific audience within that niche.
(AKA: sub-niche)
That doesn't mean it will connect with the entire market … health fanatics, fitness guru's, etc. It WONT!
You have to make 110% certain the product you've chosen is a fit for that sub-niche and there's buyers ready. If you cannot find proof there is; then you're flogging a dead horse!
Getting to know your niche inside-out will help you connect, target, and MULTIPLY your bottom line!
… you now need to get down to the nitty gritty of PROFILING your target audience.
You NEED to understand who they are. You must know their Needs / Wants / Desires (NWD's) or you're shooting blindfolded in the dark.
Without having a customer profile (AKA: Customer Avatar), you may as well be selling ice to an Eskimo.
You will be shown exactly how to do this. How to get inside their heads, think like them, become involved in what they need / want / desire – you'll almost become them!
And THIS my friend is a crucial part of the "PUZZLE" to making a profitable online business.
This will help you exponentially understand what their pain is.
What they're feeling. Empathize with them. Talk to them. And give you a clear insight of what they're looking for …
… by doing this, you can TARGET them and ONLY them to provide the exact solution for their needs (NWD's)!
One popular and yet MASSIVE mistake you're often taught is to:
"Find a product first and then pimp the crap out of it!"
"OLD School" marketing doesn't work today.
What amazes me the most is that people still do this and are surprised when they fail.
I'm also amazed to find that a lot of marketers cannot determine the differences between the overall market and niches within that market. They find a good market but don't know how to narrow it down to a granular level.
I'll tell you right now, again …
Researching within a market for a PROFITABLE niche is the most important step!
( some background … )
My name is Mark Acutt (you probably gathered that by the logo) and I've been marketing FULL TIME online since late 2007. Believe me when I tell you …
Once you have one up and running, expand it, grow it, replicate it …
… THEN move on to another.
But I was made very aware by a very good friend (and marketing buff – see pic later…) just how important this was. I understood that my niche selection would make or break EVERYTHING that followed.
I dedicated a couple days to research (I was new), and after extensively calculating different markets…
… I selected one from my shortlist!
Then set to work creating the website, the offer, and creating my first campaign.
On the 22nd November 2007 it went LIVE. I can still remember it like yesterday. Refreshing AdWords, watching clicks, constantly monitoring for any sales!
It was a success. It was churning a profit…
… and literally less than 2 months later – as a fresh-out "newbie", I was enjoying some $500+ days!
I've managed to dig out some screen captures I'd taken back then …
Sales: $628.78
Ad Cost: $97.47
NET Profit: $531.31
Sales: $666.76
Ad Cost: $56.10
NET Profit: $610.66
All this was accomplished on my very FIRST campaign (which I then expanded to now what we know as BING)!
Proof that selecting a profitable niche and understanding what your customers want (profiling) WILL pay dividends.
This is why I've put together The Niche Selection for you. It's MY own personal system.
I've created it for you so you can select a profitable niche within a market. A niche with buyers ready and waiting. To teach you how to learn to understand who your customers are. What their needs, wants or desires are.
You'll see and learn "How to …"
Been there, done that.
You'll get bored, won't be able to "connect" as well with the audience, and eventually you'll lose the will to develop it.
The Niche Selection teaches you how to do it properly. How to research and find those profitable niches within your markets of interest.
Find these and you're onto a winner. You'll be giving yourself a MASSIVE advantage by following what is taught.
Work smarter, NOT harder is my personal belief. If you put this into practice and you'll see exactly what I mean.
I'm so confident that you're going to find The Niche Selection SO valuable that I'm also giving you a 60 day 100% money back guarantee. If you're not happy I'll refund 100% of your money – no questions asked.
You can't put a price tag on choosing a profitable niche. Once you've found, developed, and progressed that niche then you'll have the ammunition to do it again!
Anyone that knows me knows I ALWAYS over deliver on my products. My products are created from scratch. Not recycled garbage. They're always created from the systems I implement in my own business.
The Niche Selection is not a "push" button gimmick. It's the real deal. It's going to teach you how to find those profitable niches and make YOU profitable.
I'll be honest with you, it requires some work on your part …
… but doesn't creating, developing and growing ANY business require your involvement?
Before you know it you too will be profitable. No more chasing your own tail or buying into the latest products that only give you half the story.
The Niche Selection is a FULL product – it tells you everything you need to know about selecting a profitable niche.
It's over 120 pages in length. – Yes, some may say that's "too much", but what can you be taught in a 20 or 30 page training program?
Not much.
This isn't a half-baked system. It's NOT been thrown together in 4 days. It's literally taken months to put together.
And believe me when I say – it's ALL meat and potatoes. It shows you exactly how to do it with real examples and findings.
So what's it worth? …
You can't put a label on it. I can't put a label on it. You can't put a price on the success of your business.
By doing exactly what's laid out in The Niche Selection I'm able to live very comfortably with my family and friends in beautiful sunny Spain.
But it's taken a lot of 'smart' work to get this far.
I will teach YOU the most crucial steps of building a PROFITABLE online business.
Get The Niche Selection and kickstart your online business the "RIGHT" way:

Why is my 2yo daughter saying, "don't look at me" when I'm getting her dressed.
For the last three days my 2yo daughter has been crying and trying to hide when I get her dressed. She doesn't mind if I see her naked but she hasn't wanted anyone else, including her dad, her grandparents and even her dogs to see her without clothes. When she is naked if anyone or anything looks at her she clings to me and cries. There is no concern that someone did anything to her as she has never been out of my care and she isn't shy or uncomfortable around any of these people except when I'm getting her dressed. I would like to know if this is normal or if I should be concerned about a body image issue. I also want to know how to react, should I just take her in another room, continue trying to get her dressed around other people, or just ignore it and hope it passes.

Welcome to Washington
A primer for the Obama family.
As a U.S. senator, President-elect Barack Obama has been a part-time Washingtonian for four years. But Washington remains largely terra incognita to Obama's Chicago-raised wife, Michelle; to his two young daughters, Malia and Sasha; and to his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, who will move to D.C. to be near the family. To introduce the Obama family to the eccentricities of the federal city, Slate excerpts the following primer from Reputation: Portraits in Power, a new anthology of profiles by Marjorie Williams. Williams, a frequent contributorto Slate, died in 2005. The book is edited by her husband, Slate senior writer Timothy Noah, who also edited an earlier collection of Williams' work, The Woman at the Washington Zoo: Writings on Politics, Family, and Fate.
The essay that follows was written in 1993 as another Democratic president—Bill Clinton—was settling into the White House. Glaringly dated references have been edited out, but it's still remarkable how little of the city's character has changed.
"Washington City is the poorest place in the United States from which to judge the temper of the nation," wrote a columnist named Frank Carpenter in 1882. "Its citizens have a different outlook on life than those of the individual states, and the atmosphere is artificial and enervating."
Two centuries after the city's founding, Carpenter's observation makes a good starting point for a tour of the capital's soul. For Washington is a much-maligned city, butt of a thousand campaign slurs and target of resentment by the legions of Americans who feel estranged from their government. And no one dumps on the city more than the people who live here. This is not, we tell ourselves guiltily, the real America. The population is too transient, we say, too obsessively focused on government. The city is provincial, we add. The theater is still second-rate at best, the food—despite the ethnic enclaves and a small if growing number of inspired restaurants—a pale shade of the diversity that New York or Chicago can offer.
The wise defender of Washington knows that you will get nowhere by trying to refute the common criticisms; you must begin by embracing them. To love Washington is to champion its amateur status as a city. Washington is unfashionable, and God bless it. Despite the grandly conceived boulevards and circles, laid out by Pierre L'Enfant in 1791, the city feels more suburban than urban—in design, in atmosphere, in ethos. Gore Vidal wrote, correctly, of the "calculated dowdiness" of old-line Washington society. This is a town of the comfortably, proudly unchic—of the grosgrain hair band, the plaid skirt, and the boiled-wool jacket. When Washington does feint in the direction of trendiness, it comes across like a man in midlife crisis sporting bell-bottoms and a bolo tie. The city's priorities are simply different from those of other cities. Although there are a great many six-figure salaries here, the superrich are almost absent, and along with them the need for plumage. Washington is less about money than—exactly as the flabby clichés insist—about power. Its credit system is proximity; its currency, information.
There are two distinct Washingtons—the local city and the national capital. The former is the actual community made up of the District of Columbia and its booming suburbs. It is one of America's youngest great cities and one of its most paradoxical stories of urban success and failure. Supported by the steady engine of federal spending, greater Washington is one of the richest metropolitan areas in America, measured by education level and household income. Washington also has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the country. Race relations follow the same pattern. The area is home to a huge proportion of middle- and upper-income blacks, but the city itself retains a depressing level of informal segregation. Washington proper is a mecca for African-Americans, with a thriving black culture, but white Washingtonians know little about this side of the city. To the hordes who are drawn to the city by ambition, it is Washington's other life—its role as the national capital—that has the most vivid reality. This split personality is the continuing legacy of Washington's birth, for it was a capital before it was a city, selected by George Washington in 1791 on behalf of a bickering Congress. Only after the location was chosen, for its ambidextrous appeal to both the North and the South, was Pierre L'Enfant commissioned to make it real.
How far apart the two Washingtons lie was rather poignantly suggested in 1990, when federal authorities set up an undercover drug purchase in Lafayette Park, just across the street from the White House, in order to provide a prop—a seized bag of crack cocaine—for a televised speech by President George H.W. Bush. (The president intended to hold up the bag of crack and intone sadly that drugs were sold everywhere—even across the street from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.) Alas, when the order went forth to find the evidence, it turned out that crack arrests were unknown in the heavily policed blocks surrounding the president's home. In the end, someone had to be induced to sell crack across the street from the White House. When the Drug Enforcement Administration instructed its mark, a local dealer, that the buy would take place in Lafayette Park, he said, "Uh, where?"

Mohamed, it's natural to be terribly disappointed after such a huge effort. I can't add anything new to the great encouragement you've already received from GS. I'll just echo some of that advice and say that you've got to get right back to studying. Take a short break if you must but don't give up. The majority of candidates fail at the first attempt. There are few (very few?) who've passed the lab on the first attempt so don't let the disappointment from this first attempt discourage you from trying again.

Date: 7/26-28/10
Opponent: Kansas City Royals
Home/Away: Away
Starting Pitcher: Liriano, Pavano and Duensing
Final Score: W 19-1, W 11-2, and W 6-4
Record: 56-46
Recap: I'm not going to spend a lot of time recapping games that are from a few days ago (and a series that was a lopsided 30 to 7 affair), but I do apologize again for being so far behind. It's just a crazy busy time of the year for me, and I'm exhausted. I'll be busy this weekend so I don't know when (or if) I'll get a chance to watch the games, but once I get to next week I'll have a much easier schedule and should be back on track to getting a post up shortly after each game.
We finallly took advantage of our soft schedule to put together some wins. Our pitching and our offense have both been clicking (obviously, based on the scores). However, we do need to keep in mind that we are playing the Royals, not the Yankees. The real test will be when we start playing teams with a winning record again. But hopefully these road wins will build up the confidence.
There were too many individual performances to mention, but Mauer is Magic again (9 for 13 with 9 RBIs, 1 home run and 4 doubles), Skinny Delmon continues to lead the team (9 for 15, 5 RBIs, 3 doubles, 1 home run), and Valencia was quite impressive (8 for 12, 3 doubles, 1 home run, 7 RBIs). The starting pitchers were also fantastic. Liriano delivered 7 shutout innings, Pavano had an unusually short outing for him (5 innings) but only allowed 1 run, and Duensing stretched out more going 6 innings with 2 earned runs. Of course I'm sure the ridiculous offensive performance helped relax them a bit. I mean, we averaged 12 runs per game. That's insane. Now let's see if we can trample the Mariners.
Best Moment: My personal favorite was in the second game (I think), when the cameras showed a fan who had caught a foul ball, but in the corner of the screen was a Royals fan giving the camera the finger. I love live TV.
Most Questionable Moment: Calling the Royals a baseball team.
Worst Moment: It's hard to fine something negative about those games.
Suck-Ass Performance of the Game: No one in the first game, Ron Mahay in the second game (0.2 innings pitched, 3 hits, 1 earned run) and Alexi Casilla in the third (0 for 5, 3 left on base).
Date: 7/23-25/10
Opponent: Baltimore Orioles
Home/Away: Away
Starting Pitcher: Duensing, Baker and Slowey
Final Score: L 3-2, W 7-2, and W 10-4
Record: 53-46
Recap: My apologies for not posting anything this weekend and for combining them all into one entry. I had to work this weekend, and more importantly my internet wasn't working on Friday and Saturday. Anyway, there's really no better medicine for a team than playing the Orioles. The struggling starting pitchers looked good, the offense was on fire (for the most part), and we came away with the series victory.
Friday was the only game we lost. Duensing made his first start of the season and delivered 5 strong innings with just 1 earned run. He was on a pitch count, which led to him being pulled after the 5th inning. The Twins had taken a 2-run lead after a homer by Mauer. There were a couple of balls that made it to the warning track, but that home run ended up being the only offense the Twins got. Sadly the lead didn't last long. Slama came in to pitch the 6th and gave up a single and a home run to give the Orioles a lead they wouldn't relinquish. At least he got his first MLB run allowed, first MLB homer allowed, first blown save and first loss over all at once. The other unfortunate thing was Orlando Hudson, who strained an oblique hitting a fly ball.
Saturday proved a much better day for the team. Baker had a good start finally and went 7 innings with 2 earned runs. He would have had another run at least, but he was saved by a great catch by Span, reached over the outfield wall to pull back a home run. The Orioles again took a 1-run lead off a 2-run home run, but this time we came back. Everything just seemed to fall into place for the Twins during this game. We did some running, including a stolen base by J.J. Hardy (my guess is Punto missed a hit-and-run sign, but damn was that funny), we had some nice defensive plays, and there were some great offensive performances. Skinny Delmon went 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 RBIs. It's kind of insane how good he is right now. Sure it took 2 years, but he's really carried the team this month. Valencia had 3 hits in the game.
Sunday turned into a bit of a romp for the Twins despite an early Orioles lead. The Baltimore starter was getting into all kind's of trouble. Right from the start the Twins were hitting everything hard. He was lucky enough to escape the first 2 innings unscathed (Can you be scathed? Just wondering.). The luck ran out in the 3rd when, after hitting Repko, allowing a single to Casilla, and walking Thome, Jason Kubel crushed a ball into right for his 2nd grand slam of the season. It wasn't quite as exciting as the late inning come-from-behind grand slam against Rivera (by a long shot), but it was impressive. It came with 2 outs in the inning, and the Orioles came close a couple of times to doubling off Casilla on some line drives. After that the Twins continued tacking on runs. Young, Thome and Repko all hit solo home runs in the game. Slowey took a big step forward with his pitching performance. He sailed through 6 innings but was done in by a rain delay. It was probably good to have him end positively to give him some confidence in his next start. I do the same thing when I'm training my dog. It was going pretty well until Blackburn made his appearance. He got through the 8th okay, but he really struggled in the 9th and gave up 3 earned runs. Apparently Bullpen Blackburn has not figured things out yet.
Best Moment: Mauer's home run on Friday. Denard Span's home-run-robbing catch, Skinny Delmon's outfield assist and J.J. Hardy accidentally stealing a base on Saturday. Jason Kubel's grand slam on Sunday.
Most Questionable Moment: On Friday, I would say pulling Duensing after the 5th, but I actually didn't have a problem with that since he still needs to be stretched out. Or I would say putting in Slama to protect the 1-run lead, but we had 4 innings left to pitch and I'm not sure who else would have been a better choice. So I'll go with nothing. On Saturday, the child wearing the Orioles hat with the TC logo painted on his chest. Poor, poor confused boy. Someone needs to straighten him out. On Sunday, the whole lineup, but especially batting Repko and Casilla first and second. I'm not trying to question Gardy's judgment (okay, maybe I am), but what was up with that?
Worst Moment: Orlando Hudson getting hurt, Baker giving up a 2-run homer, and Blackburn continuing to suck on Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Quotations of the Day:
- "It just blows out hot air. A lot like you, Dick." - Bert Blyleven, comparing Dick Bremer to a fan in the Twins dugout.
- "Right now, it looks like if [Skinny Delmon] can reach it, it's a base hit." - Orioles manager Juan Samuel on trying to pitch to Delmon Young.
Suck-Ass Performance of the Game: Anthony Slama (1.0 innings pitched, 3 hits, 1 home run, 2 earned runs, 1 blown save, 1 loss) on Friday, Jason Kubel (0 for 5, 2 strikeouts, 1 GIDP, 6 left on base) on Saturday, and Michael Cuddyer (1 for 6, 1 strikeout, 8 left on base) and Nick Blackburn (2.0 innings pitched, 5 hits, 3 earned runs) on Sunday.
Date: 7/22/10
Opponent: Baltimore Orioles
Home/Away: Away
Starting Pitcher: Pavano
Final Score: W 5-0
Record: 51-45
Recap: Nothing like a good dose of the Pavstache to get the road trip started out right. What a phenomenal performance! A complete game shutout (his 5th complete game of the season), and he only allowed 5 hits and 1 walk. You definitely can't say that he's not pulling his own weight in the rotation; it's more like he's pulling all the weight. I kind of like this Butera as Pavano's personal catcher thing, mostly because it means more mustache hugs! Can we clone Pavano and let him pitch every night? Or at least his 'stache?
So Pavano shut the Orioles down, and Skinny Delmon got the biggest hit of the day (no surprise there). In the 1st inning, the Twins loaded the bases on a 2-out double by Mauer and walks to Kubel and Cuddyer. Then Delmon unloaded the bases in a hurry with a double. He is just an RBI machine. Now if only we could get him higher in the batting order on a regular basis. Cuddyer homered to add another run, and then the Twins tacked on a fifth run in a more controversial manner in the 7th. J.J. Hardy hit an infield single, and then with Punto at the plate he took off for 2nd (I can only assume it was a missed hit-and-run signal on someone's part). He made it only part of the way before retreating and diving back into 1st base. It appeared Ty Wigginton tagged him, but the 1st base umpire Gary Darling ruled him safe. Wigginton went completely ape shit and was ejected in seconds. It was quite entertaining. You'd really think as a member of the Baltimore Orioles he'd be used to life screwing him over. The interim manager of the Orioles, Juan Samuel came over and separated the two. Hardy later advanced to 2nd on a groundout, and then he scored on a single by Butera. At this point the home plate umpire ejected the pitching coach of the Orioles for something, and Samuel followed Wigginton's example and went completely nuts with a few hat-throwing flourishes added in. I guess it's admirable that they still care despite the team's awfulness.
The other entertainment came when someone jumped onto the field and ran around. I guess the Orioles have a policy where they don't chase such interlopers, so the security guards just slowly walked after him hoping he would give up. Sadly home viewers never get to see such antics, presumably to discourage fame whores from attempting to make it onto TV, but from the reaction of the Twins in the dugout I gather it was quite hilarious. The fan finally surrender after being scolded by the home plate umpire. I guess he was intimidating. Tomorrow we get to see Duensing's season debut as a starter. I for one am very excited. And a little nervous. But mostly excited.
Best Moment: Pavano's shutout.
Most Questionable Moment: Hardy being ruled safe at 1st. Clearly not.
Worst Moment: Still no word on Morneau's return. Sadness.
Quotations of the Day:
- "I don't know if there's anybody you'd want at the plate more than Delmon right now in those situations. Those RBIs seem to be coming his way. He's finding a way to get those hits when he needs to. Right now, he's probably been as good as anybody in those RBI situations." - Ron Gardenhire
- "Well, those are not young security officers." - Bert Blyleven, giving a possible explanation for the lack of effort made toward apprehending the fan on the field.
- "See, everyone listens to umpires." - Bert Blyleven, after the aforementioned fan gave himself up after a word from the home plate umpire.
Suck-Ass Performance of the Game: Orlando Hudson (0 for 5, 1 strikeout, 2 left on base)

SALT LAKE CITY — Brandon Taylor feels like he is in a good spot again as a basketball player.
It hasn't always been the case for the sophomore guard. His two seasons with Utah have been defined by alternating flashes of dominance and maddening slumps. Such a roller coaster is becoming a thing of the past as Taylor is becoming the third reliable scoring option that the Utes have needed all season.
Taylor scored 16 points to lead Utah to an 81-63 victory over Washington State on Saturday night. It is the third consecutive game Taylor has led the Utes in scoring and he is averaging 17.7 points per game in those contests.
"I'm just having fun with the game again," Taylor said. "I'm just getting back to having fun and not thinking too much. Just freeing my mind up and getting back to what I do — just playing basketball. When you think too much, that's when the game gets difficult."
Jordan Loveridge chipped in 13 points and Delon Wright added 11 to go with nine assists for Utah. Six different players scored in double figures for the Utes (16-7, 5-6 Pac-12) who beat the Cougars in their home arena for the 12th consecutive time.
Utah has not lost a home game to Washington State since the two teams played for the first time in 1946.
DaVonte Lacy scored 22 points for the Cougars (9-14, 2-9) and D.J. Shelton added 19 points and 10 rebounds. It wasn't enough keep Washington State from losing for the ninth time in its last 12 games.
"Utah deserves a lot of the credit," Cougars coach Ken Bone said. "They played a very good game. I love their energy and toughness on the defensive end. On the offensive end, they executed and hit threes. They were very hard to stop on the defensive end. They scored very well against us tonight."
Utah dominated around the basket and in transition. The Utes outscored Washington State 42-18 in the paint, had a 10-0 edge in fast break points and shot 56.7 percent from the floor.
Getting to the basket has been a point of emphasis for Utah after the Utes got burned on the glass repeatedly during three straight losses to Arizona State, Arizona and Colorado. Their willingness to attack made a huge difference against Washington State.
"That's the key," Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. "It helps you at the foul line. I like our ability to shoot the three, but we've got to get multi-dimensional instead of just constantly relying on the three. That's not a good formula."
Washington State started cold on offense and never quite found a rhythm in the first half. The Cougars missed eight of their first nine shots from the field. They shot just 34.5 percent (10 of 29) from the field and 16.7 percent (2 of 12) from distance before halftime.
Utah took advantage, claiming a 9-3 lead. Wright converted a three-point play and a layup to fuel the scoring. Shelton brought the Cougars back within striking distance after making three baskets and assisting a layup by Lacy over four straight possessions to cut Utah's lead to 13-12.
That's as close as Washington State could get. The Utes scored 10 unanswered points — culminating in an acrobatic layup from Princeton Onwas — to take a 23-12 lead. Utah led by as much as 20 points before halftime. The Utes went ahead 42-22 when Taylor drove for a layup with 1:12 left in the half.
"We know we can shoot threes, but getting to the basket and actually attacking — we know that's going to open the floor up," Taylor said. "When they start sucking in on the drivers, you know it's going to open it up for the shooters. Just attacking the basket is going to open up the game and make the game easier for us."
Washington State closed the gap again after halftime. The Cougars cut Utah's lead to ten after Lacy drilled back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 48-38. Loveridge cut to the hoop for a layup to stop the run and then he and Taylor each drained a 3-pointer on consecutive possessions to put Utah back ahead 56-40 with 11:54 remaining.
The Cougars had one more run left in them. Lacy hit another 3-pointer and a pair of 3-pointers to spark a 10-3 spurt for Washington State. When Ike Iroegbu capped the run with a 3-pointer, the Cougars trailed 59-50 with 8:53 left.
Utah slammed the door on comeback efforts after Taylor drilled a 3-pointer to spark a decisive 12-4 run. Utah capped the run with a slam dunk from Onwas and a layup from Olsen on back-to-back possessions to take a 72-54 lead with 4:39 remaining in the game.
The next goal for Utah is finally getting a breakthrough victory against a Pac-12 opponent on the road. The first chance for the Utes comes against USC on Thursday.
"Even though we won the last game (against USC) we haven't got a road win," Onwas said. "It's a huge game."

Keyword aficionados Matt Van Wagner and Tim Ash had a few key words of their own at the Search Engine Strategies Conference about creating an effective pay-per-click campaign. The keywords of their delivery: slow down, organize, track, evaluate, and adjust.
Organize Campaigns Around Keyword Themes
Many people dont put enough thought into how they organize and manage their words and end up costing themselves as a result. In fact, the words that are chosen often seem almost random.
Creating a campaign framework is very important as it provides a great platform for keyword choices. Van Wagner suggests using keyword buckets to logically group the words for your campaign. Thinking in clusters of words will help pull associated terms out of the ether and into your campaign, quite possibly ones you havent thought of. While some PPC providers make creating hierarchical lists of words very simple, others require a bit of creativity on your part.
Tracking Trends
Your PPC campaign should be carefully developed. It isnt a matter of just snagging a list of keywords. First it should be realized that deciding what metrics are most important for you and your business is key in establishing the success or failure of any PPC program. So before creating an entire PPC campaign, define the metrics to track and create a reporting structure.
Using Excel spreadsheets with graphs is a good way to track trends. This will enable you to maintain a log of changes made to your campaign. You cant know where youre going if you dont know where youve been.
Be sure you carefully document all changes/tweaks you make to your PPC program as well as to your site. When you notice a change in your results you want to be able to look back through your spreadsheet, identify when change began, and thus be able to isolate the reason for that change.
Guesswork is a killer in PPC programs. Always ask what changed, when, and why.
When starting a new PPC campaign, you first want to observe, look for errors, and begin refining your keyword list. This is not a task that can be rushed. Refining an effective PPC program takes time, so dont rush in with guns blazing and make rash mistakes. Ease your way into your campaign, keeping conscientious documentation of changes. This way youre not just slinging money around hoping for results.
Evaluating Performance
Click rates arent nearly as important as conversion rates. Ads most frequently clicked are not always the best performing ads. And it is important to know which ones are the most effective. Otherwise youre shelling out money for an ad that catches everyones eye, but doesnt convert to a sale.
The same goes for keyword selection and evaluation. Epic Skys Tim Ash suggested, that on the keyword level, it is not about cost-per-click or even ROI, but ultimately it is about the profit.
Though you may be happy with a keyword campaign that earns you $5,000 a month on a $10,000 investment, the profit margin may be higher than you realize if you evaluate the strength of the keywords. A close analysis of you keyword campaign can often reveal some words are vastly outperforming others in terms of clicks or conversions. Common senses say you should adjust and focus more the words that have a history of performing.
But Ash says the bottom line is the bottom line and keywords should be sorted by profit, not by CPC or ROI. Focus on the winners and dump the losers.
Ash presented a formula for determining the overall value of any given keyword.
CONVERSION RATE x AVERAGE VALUE OF CONVERSION = VALUE OF KEYWORD
Adjusting Bids
The hold your horses theme continues. Dont adjust your bids without enough data (which all of the previous verbiage should guide you into having). Also, dont alter keywords after only 5 clicks. You need a sufficient number of clicks along with other information to identify trends.
Just because you can turn the knob, doesnt mean youre doing anything, said Ash.
Once all the information is in, adjust your keywords accordingly. Adjust your bids to the bottom of the keywords value using the formula provided.
In a nutshell, the steps to optimizing your campaign are as follows:
1. Set up a web analytics package
2. Tag all inbound traffic
3. Consider only high traffic keywords
4. Sort by profit, not CPC, or ROI
5. Concentrate on winners and losers
6. Properly handle uncertainty (take into account the amount of data you have per word)
7. Adjust your bids to the bottom of keyword value
**Infromation compiled and written according to the notes of Mike McDonald, who is present at the SES Conference.

Baby Steps at BYU
Jim Burroway
April 17th, 2007
The Salt Lake Tribune noticed a slight modification to Brigham Young University's honor code. The code was changed to more clearly emphasize sexual behavior over sexual orientation. It now reads:
Brigham Young University will respond to homosexual behavior rather than to feelings or orientation and welcomes as full members of the university community all whose behavior meets university standards. … One's stated sexual orientation is not an Honor Code issue. However, the Honor Code requires all members of the university community to manifest a strict commitment to the law of chastity.
It used to read:
Brigham Young University will respond to student behavior rather than to feelings or orientation. … Advocacy of a homosexual lifestyle (whether implied or explicit) or any behaviors that indicate homosexual conduct, including those not sexual in nature, are inappropriate and violate the Honor Code.
Students complained that the previous version of the honor code was ambiguous. What did "implied" advocacy mean exactly? And what were the boundaries when the code added, "including those not sexual in nature"?
One BYU freshmen commented that this change "remove[s] a lot of the Gestapo atmosphere from the campus." BYU officials deny that this change was prompted by the Soulforce Equality Riders's recent campus visit.

Let's Roll
Field-testing Heelys, the sneakers with wheels.
You probably know what Heelys are even if you've never heard of them: They're the sneakers with wheels in the heel, the ones that allow kids to transition from a walk to a roll with unnerving ease. You'll be keeping pace with what appears to be a normal, ambulatory youngster when all of a sudden he's gliding ahead, weaving effortlessly through foot traffic. For those of us who came of age in the rollerblade era, this can be a discomfiting experience—we're not used to recreational footwear that doesn't advertise itself as such. We're also, I suspect, a little bit envious. In just the last couple of years, the shoes have become wildly popular with kids—Heelys Inc. had $188 million in sales last year, up from $21.3 million two years earlier—but most adults don't suspect that you can get Heelys above a size 5. It turns out you can. So I decided to get a pair and see what we've been missing.
Easier said than done, actually. You can't buy Heelys directly from the company, so you've got to go hunting at Zappos, the Sports Authority, Modell's, and the like, and the pickings in the adult sizes tend to be slim. Then there is the question of aesthetics. Heelys come in about 30 styles for men, ranging from reprehensible (what can brown on brown do for you?) to still pretty bad. Most of the models are designed to look like skate shoes, though a few resemble Nike trail runners.
After searching high and low for a reasonably appealing pair in my size, I gave up. I settled on two possibilities: one a somewhat innocuous blue and white pair that I thought might pass for something in the Adidas tennis collection, the other an egregiously ugly number featuring perforated leather, faux-suede, and reflective trim. I was hoping the innocuous pair would pan out, as I thought they'd allow for an element of surprise—those are Heelys?—but when the shoes arrived, I saw they were innocuous only by comparison. Heelys are by necessity a bulky shoe, as the heel needs to be deep and wide enough to house, essentially, a skateboard wheel. No one was going to mistake these clodhoppers for my trusty Rod Lavers.
The ugly pair, on the other hand, were charmingly so. An enormous, ketchup-red Heelys logo adorned the flank of each shoe. A graffito on the tongue challenged the reader to "Grind This!," a directive the midsole backed up with an obsidian grind plate. My choice was made.
Before describing the "heeling" experience—Heelys owners, like good dogs, are said to heel—it's important to dispel what I've found to be a common misconception. Like many heeling neophytes, I'd been under the impression that the wheels fully recessed into the soles of the shoes when not in use and were perhaps deployed by a wriggling of the toes or some other hidden mechanism. The wheels are in fact removable, but you need a tool to get them out, and it's not all that simple to ditch the wheels once the shoes are on your feet.
The upshot is that if you want to go out heeling, you've got to commit to having the wheels in, and walking with wheels is not easy at first and never very comfortable. Kids don't seem to be bothered by this, but I swear my Heelys were starting to give me shin splints. I had thought that Heelys would be as well-suited to an afternoon constitutional as they are to an afternoon of can-openers and toe jams. Instead, even if you're just walking across the street to your favorite heeling spot, you have to be sure to come down on the ball of your foot with each step, lest you accidentally engage the wheel and go flying, as if slipping on some invisible banana peel. My biggest wipeout to date happened while walking, not heeling. I was on my way home from a field test, talking on the phone, when one of my wheels caught a little too much pavement, I launched into an inadvertent grand jeté and came down hard on my coccyx. It took a few minutes, but I eventually found my phone in a nearby shrub.
Compared with walking in Heelys, heeling is pretty simple, once you get the hang of it. You push off with one leg, put the other forward and lean back on your heels. Roll and repeat. It takes a little while to find your balance, but when you do, it's not long before you're gliding along with the distinct, nonchalant air of a kid in Heelys: Yeah, I've got wheels in my shoes—what of it?
I tested my Heelys in a variety of environments. I heeled the paths of Central Park. I heeled to work one day, stepping deliberately to avoid killing myself on the subway stairs or rolling in front of an oncoming F train. I cruised around my neighborhood in Brooklyn, noticing for the first time how varied its sidewalks are: Some are smooth and flat, others so beveled as to stymie even the most vigorous attempt to heel. I took in "The Shapes of Space" show at the Guggenheim, attracting quizzical looks but surprisingly no reprimands from the docents as I spiraled my way from the sixth floor down to the lobby. But by far my favorite venue for heeling was Whole Foods. The concrete floors in the Columbus Circle store are well-buffed and slightly veneered, making them slick but not slippery.

Monday, December 30, 2013
Jackson, SC--With the college season behind him, former Silver Bluff star Demarcus Lawrence has made a life changing decision and is forgoing his senior season at Boise State and is declaring for the NFL draft.
The 6-3, 245 pound defensive end had a monster season for the Broncos with 20 tackles for losses and 10 and a half sacks, among the best in the nation. After high school at the Bluff, Lawrence spent one season at a junior college, then made the move to Boise State where he immediately made an impact. The decision he made wasn't easy with a lot of factors involved.
"Timing had a huge part in this" said Demarcus Lawrence "Really coming from this small background, it's a dream come true. Dealing with the situation at Boise State, with the coaching changes, I really think it was the timing of the situation"
Lawrence played defensive end in college but said he could easily switch to an outside linebacking position if needed. Right now he's projected as a third round draft pick and knows the real work begins seeing he's looking for a job.

Geology and Geomorphology
Physiographic Region
The Bourbeuse River watershed lies within the Salem Plateau subdivision of the Ozark Plateau. The majority of the Bourbeuse River is contained within the Ozark Border region. The region is composed of steep-sided hills and deep valleys, separated by gently rolling uplands. Soils are typically thin outside of the lowland areas. In these areas, decomposed bedrock has formed an unconsolidated residual material (see glossary). This residuum allows high rates of groundwater discharge (Vandike 1995).
The geology (see map) of the Bourbeuse River valley is similar to the upper Meramec River watershed. The Bourbeuse River watershed, however, possesses a range of surface rocks varying in age from the younger Pennsylvanian to the older Ordovician Period (Missouri Department of Natural Resource (MDNR) 1984, 1996). By comparison, its rocks are younger than the Meramec River watershed, whose rock formations date to the Pre-Cambrian Age. An interesting feature of the Bourbeuse River watershed is the two north trending faults that "sandwich" the newer Pennsylvanian Age formations between the older Ordovician Age formations. The western fault runs parallel to Highway 19, but lies 3-4 miles to its west. The eastern fault runs parallel to I-44 before turning north along Highway 185, intersecting Spring Bluff township, and finally, ending east of Beaufort. The interior of the sandwich contains, from greater to lesser extent, the Pennsylvanian undifferentiated, the Roubidoux Formation, and a collection of Ordovician Formation rock types containing Smithville, Potter and Cotter, Jefferson City Dolomite formations. On either side of the interior are the Roubidoux Formation and Gasconade Dolomite. Stream gradient is not affected by the presence of the fault. Possibly, the fault contributes, along with the Roubidoux Formation and Gasconade Dolomite rock type, to the formation of springs. The largest spring, Kratz Spring, emerges from the Gasconade Formation. Few other springs exist because of the presence of Pennsylvanian age rock and Jefferson City Dolomite that prevent water movement to subsurface levels.
Blue Springs near Bourbon, Missouri has a measured flow of about 4.9 to 7.05 cubic feet per second (CFS). The flow of the spring exceeds that which the surface runoff from the Blue Springs Creek drainage area in the Meramec River watershed can produce; therefore, an independent watershed consultant hypothesized that the spring is receiving groundwater from another watershed (Tryon 1996). Tryon (1996) analyzed static-water well levels, sinks, faults, valley lineaments, and leaky ponds to conclude that a portion of the Boone Creek watershed of the Bourbeuse River watershed is supplying water to Blue Springs.
Losing Streams
A losing stream is defined as a stream that loses 30 percent or more of its flow into an aquifer within two miles of flow discharge (MDNR 1994; Clean Water Commission Water Quality Standards 10 CSR 20-7.01). Permeable rock type is responsible for the movement of water to subsurface levels. Almost all of the watershed has poorly sustained base flows except Spring Creek below Kratz Spring and Bourbeuse River below Spring Creek.
Knowledge of groundwater sources such as losing streams are important to safeguard water supplies. On some stream systems the MDNR's Division of Geology and Land Survey has conducted dye tracing to determine a stream's potential to lose to lower aquifers. Recent dye tracing around the Sullivan sewage treatment plant has led to the reclassification of Winsel Creek as a losing stream (Sullivan Independent News, November 15, 1995). Dry Fork has losing sections extending from its headwaters to nearly the confluence with Brush Creek. Two oil-product pipelines, the Continental and Explorer, cross the Dry Fork. Dry Creek in the Lower Bourbeuse River watershed is another losing stream. Finally, an unnamed tributary to Boone Creek is also classified as a losing stream.
Soil Associations
Within the Bourbeuse River watershed, two soil surveys, the Soil Survey of Franklin County (SCS 1989) and the Soil Resources Inventory of Gasconade County (SCS 1994), are completed and published for use. Osage, Maries, and Phelps counties have surveys completed but not yet available to the public. Crawford County is presently being surveyed by soil scientists. With some exceptions, the generalized state soil associations found on the general soil map, produced in 1979, combine major soils into associations that adequately describe soils in the Bourbeuse River watershed. The Union-Goss-Gasconade-Peridge and the Hobson-Clarksville-Gasconade general soil associations are contained within the Ozark Border land resource area, and within the Ozarks land resource area, the Hobson-Coulstone-Clarksville, and the Hartville-Ashton-Cedargap-Nolin soil associations. The Hartville-Ashton-Cedargap-Nolin soil association parallels the river and is composed of alluvium. This generalized association adequately describes river bottom soil associations with some exceptions. For example, the Franklin County survey, a more precise survey, describes this area paralleling the river as the Haymond-Pope association; however, the Gasconade County survey in the western portion of the watershed lists the Nolin-Cedargap association as the floodplain soil type. Nolin is also found in the floodplains of other Bourbeuse River tributaries such as the Dry Fork. On SCS aerial photographs, the Nolin, Pope, and Cedargap soil types are often found in river bottoms with Clarksville, Union, Beemont soil types on ridges or near slopes. Many of the other major soil types are found on ridges and side slopes of the river valley. Peridge, mentioned on the 1979 generalized soil association map, was not found in either soil survey.
Soil Types
The Ozark Border region is a transitional area between the Central Mississippi Valley Wooded Slopes area and the Ozark region. Ridge-tops have a thin mantle of loess caps and subsoils formed in fragipans (Allgood, F. P. and I. D. Persinger 1979). Fragipans are loamy, brittle subsurface horizons, low in porosity and organic matter and low or moderate in clay. This layer appears cemented and restricts roots. Within the Ozark Border region, soil types are dissimilar to the Ozark region, having Union, Gasconade, Goss, and Peridge (Table Ge01). Union, Hobson, Goss, and Peridge are found on uplands. Union is a silty loam with clay increasing in its sublayers, thus it tends to allow only slow percolation of water. This soil has a relatively high water erosion factor and runoff potential. Hobson is a more brittle loam that has firm clay loam subsurface layers. Both the Union and the Hobson have fragipans in their subsoil at approximately 60 inches. Goss is similar to Hobson, except it has chert in its surface layers and its subsurface layers; in places the subsurface layers reach bedrock. Goss is low in water erosion potential and moderate in runoff potential. Peridge has a silt loam surface soil overlying a moderately permeable silt loam subsoil. As mentioned, the Haymond-Pope association is found quite extensively along the river bottom and is a generally sandy loam.
Within the Ozark region soil types are variable, generally having infertile, stony clay soils in some areas and fertile, loess-capped soils in others (MDNR 1986). Stony cherty soils characterize much of the Ozarks. Clarksville is excessively drained and formed in cherty dolomite and limestone residuum. On the surface the soil is a very cherty silt loam underlain by very cherty, silty clay loam (Allgood, F. P. and I. D. Persinger 1979). Lastly, Coulstone is a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil formed in sandstone and cherty dolomite on side slopes of ridges.
Four soil types are found in the river bottom areas along the Bourbeuse River: Nolin, Hartville, Cedargap, and Ashton. Nolin is a brittle silt loam from its surface layers to its subsurface layers. Hartville series, formed in alluvium, consists of very deep, slightly poorly drained, slowly permeable soils on stream terraces. Cedargap series, formed in cherty alluvium, consists of very deep, well drained soils on small floodplains along streams. Finally, Ashton is a deep, well drained soil formed in silty alluvium on low stream terraces.
Erosion Potential
In a 1977 National Erosion Inventory estimate, the Soil Conservation Service showed that the soil erosion from cropland in the form of sheet and rill erosion amounted to five tons/acre/year in the Bourbeuse River watershed. Sheet and rill erosion, involving the removal of thin layers of soil from an area by water and creating channels about 30 centimeters in depth, did not exceed allowable limits of 2-5 tons/acre/year on pasture land; however, sheet and rill erosion did reach 18-24 tons/acre on tilled land (Anderson et al. 1980). Twenty tons per year is equivalent to one-eighth inch of soil. For comparison, in forest soils, with many roots to maintain soil integrity, losses in the Bourbeuse River watershed were less than 0.25 tons/acre/year. Gully erosion problems, extreme soil losses causing trenches that exceed 30 centimeters in depth, were rare in the Bourbeuse River watershed.
Major sources of stream sediment are sheet and rill, gully, streambank, and urban erosion. Remarkably, in the Bourbeuse River watershed, these types of erosion comprised 90%, 5%, 3%, and 1% of the sediment in streams, respectively (Anderson et al. 1980). Compared to other watersheds listed by Anderson, 90% sheet and rill erosion was a high percentage. On the other hand, gully erosion, a more severe type of erosion, was low in comparison to other watersheds. In general, lower gully erosion was a characteristic of Ozark streams.
Stream order was determined using a system of classification that was first defined by Horton (1945) and later modified by A.N. Strahler (1952). Strahler called all unbranched tributaries first-order streams; two first-order streams joined to make a second-order stream, and so on downstream to the stream mouth. MDC East Central Region fishery personnel determined stream mileage and stream order from USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps for all third-order and greater streams. This information was used to make gradient plots of the higher order streams. The three longest streams, greater than twenty miles in total length, are the Little Bourbeuse River, Brush Creek, and Dry Fork.
The drainage area of hydrologic units in the Bourbeuse River watershed (8-digit) were derived from USGS Hydrologic Units, which identify a hierarchy of land for Soil Conservation Service planning (USDA and SCS 1990). The NRCS has digitized 14-digit and 11-digit boundaries. Within the four 11-digit boundaries, we combined several 14-digit hydrologic unit boundaries to calculate acreage and square mileage (Table Ge02). The total watershed area is 540,318 acres and 842.9 square miles. Lanes Fork, at 5.71% of the 8-digit watershed area, has the smallest percentage area of the watershed, and has the smallest fourth-order stream hydrologic unit. Dry Fork, at 13.8% of the 8-digit watershed area, has the largest fourth-order stream hydrologic unit.
Gradient Plot
MDC East Central Region fisheries personnel collected elevation and distance data (stream miles) from USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps (usually 20-foot contours). Within each hydrologic unit we constructed gradient plots for all fourth-order or greater streams, and for third-order streams that were at least 2.0 river miles or greater (Appendix A; Figures 1 - 62). Those stream systems with high gradients are Coppedge Creek, Clear Creek, and Lanes Fork, and those with low gradients are Pleasant Valley Creek, Three Mile Creek, and Prairie Creek. Lanes Fork, Dry Fork, Lower Peavine and Upper Peavine creeks have a relatively steady decline in slope from their headwaters to their mouth, but Brush Creek, Little Bourbeuse Creek, Little Bourbeuse River, and Upper Bourbeuse River have a high initial slope and a subsequent more gentle slope.
Channel Gradient from Regional Geology
Following the Bourbeuse River along its 147 miles, the river intersects two faults and two different rock types. Within the headwaters of the river, which start near Rolla, MO, elevation starts at 1,140 feet and ends near Union at approximately 500 feet. The major landform in the Bourbeuse River drainage is the Salem Plateau, which tilts north and east. Periodic uplift has elevated older Ordovician rock above younger Pennsylvanian. Gradient and percent slope of tributaries are slightly higher in the lower watershed areas compared to the upper watershed. Composed chiefly of Ordovician rock, the lower watershed has relief intervals that are closer together than in the upper watershed.

Why are Girls Emotional?
Why are Girls Emotional?
Both males and females wonder sometimes why girls get so emotional, but it usually isn't just one thing that causes this to happen. Depending on the girl in question's age, there are quite a few factors in determining what exactly caused the emotions to come up in the first place. Girls are complex creatures that take a lot of patience to understand. Sometimes they can't even understand for themselves why they become so emotional. It really is a matter of breaking down the big issues and then getting to the smaller ones to figure out the answer.
Relationships do seem to effect girls emotionally a bit more than they do guys, but this is mostly because girls show their emotions more often than males. It may seem sometimes that the littlest thing makes a girl blow up in your face, but 99% of the time there is something else that was really upsetting her before the little thing happened. Talking about it and finding out what that big thing was can help you to understand what the underlying issues are.
One thing that has been proven to be true over time is that girls worry more than guys do from a very young age and that continues on into adulthood. They worry about family issues, relationships, their jobs, their futures, and many other things. These worries alone can make a girl get emotional and what makes this worse for some people is that they just can't help but worry all of the time.
Girls get emotional for a lot more reasons than these, but the fact remains that everyone gets emotional for a variety of reasons; not just girls. It's just something that we all have to deal with and find a way to accept. Of course, some emotional issues that girls have are correctable and that takes a lot of caring and patience.

i think it should and shouldn't there are way more reasons that girls are emotional other than boys girls that go through puberty at a young age seem to be emotional and unaware of whats goin on with their bodies they worry and stress and don't understand why some things happen and of course hormones and physical body changes and especially BOYS!!!!!!!! so girls just need to be heard and they want you to understand what their goin through be compassionate and willing to listen make them feel like they have nothing to worry about let them know that everyone goes through a certain stage in their life that they won't unerstand at that particular time and lastly let them know that someone will always be there

Niggers. Who needs 'em!
I think ur wrng because if the world ends today white people would have no choice but to listen to niggers because thats the biggest race we have n america so far,so nxt time u wanna be racist know what u talking bout idiot!
Watch out Britney coming out with her unheard of facts that she pulled out of her ass!
Hmm it seems as the ugly, obese, smelly, stupid, biological fail of the human race crawled out of her mommas coocha to make a statement! No wonder this country is failing so miserably, useless niggers on welfare checks & using the governments money that is obtained through taxation. We are the ones keeping them alive buy funding their prison food. Send em back to Africa where they were to begin with and belong for eternity! Please all black mails bury your sperm in the desert and stop impregnating our beautiful, white, biologically evolved women! Thanks for your attention angry niggers, cheers!

The Genesis of Conservation in Missouri
the "father of modern conservation," noted that this zeal seemed to burn most intensely in Missouri.
Speaking at a gathering in 1947, he said: "Conservation, at bottom, rests on the conviction that there are things in this world more important than dollar signs and ciphers. Many of these other things attach to the land, and to the life that is on it and in it. People who know these other things have been growing scarcer, but less so in Missouri than elsewhere. That is why conservation is possible here. If conservation can become a living reality, it can do so in Missouri. This is because Missourians, in my opinion, are not completely industrialized in mind and spirit, and I hope never will be."
The Conservation Federation's growth confirmed Leopold's opinion. From the original 75 members, the Federation's ranks grew to the tens of thousands. It became known as "the strong right arm of conservation."
CFM's Resource Committees
The Conservation Federation maintains standing committees to serve the following interests.
- Archery & Bow Hunting
- Environment & Land Use
- Firearms, Hunter Safety & Sportsmen's Rights
- Fisheries & Water Resources
- Furbearers & Small Game
- Natural History & Wildlands
- Conservation Education & Youth Activities
- Deer & Wild Turkey
- Forestry
- Rivers & Streams
- Waterfowl & Wetlands
To learn more about the Conservation Federation, go to www.confedmo.org or call (800) 575-2322.
Forty years after its initial achievement of locking politics out of conservation, the Federation concluded that a broad, stable financial base was necessary for effective, long-range conservation efforts. Missouri's conservation agency received almost all of its funding from the sale of hunting, fishing and trapping permits. That was enough for minimal forest, fish and wildlife programs, but Federation members saw a need for better, more comprehensive resource management.
They believed Missourians needed a network of publicly owned areas where people could enjoy outdoor activities. Such areas also would preserve representative examples of the state's diverse ecological systems. They envisioned hundreds of public accesses where Missourians could reach the state's lakes and streams. They foresaw nature centers in urban areas where city dwellers could enjoy the natural world. They wanted all people to be stakeholders in nature so that they would want to protect it.
To achieve this bold conservation vision, the Conservation Federation produced another revolutionary idea. They proposed a one-eighth of 1 percent sales tax to be used exclusively by the Conservation Department.
Again, Federation members carried petitions to every corner of the state, and the public put the proposition on the ballot as
