One thing ya'll are probably going to ride on me is that I don't really think that Obama is a socialist, he gives lip service to it(obviously), but I don't believe he truely believes it in his bones. I'll be damned what his ideology is, though.
Over all I think the United States has followed a more merchantilistic tract. It is incredibly easy to mix the two. Both Socialism and merchantilism share two core concepts: That wealth is fixed and it can not be created and that the economy must bow to the wishes of the state. The latter is the key though. If wealth is fixed an can not be created, then the rich is obviously the the most evil group in existance because the obviously stole that wealth from someone else(total nonsense of course). Ideologically they're rather different, in practice they're almost identical. I believe that neo-merchantilists are hiding behind socialism to carry out their skewed aims.
This is probably complete BS, and I'm sorry you had to read it all, but that is what you get for not being able to speak out loud your political views for 6 months.
Also I live in dayton Job Corps, please don't hold that against me

These decisions are being made at the highest levels. And yes, they're probably Ivy League grads.
Here's another interesting story, a propos:
The original WJLA story neglects to mention...
The idiots you post about in the colleges graduate and get jobs with large companies and are put in positions where they make decisions due to their fresh young out of the box thinking.
Sad news.
Considering that Obama's legacy is all about toilets, maybe he won't veto this one.

One of my Facebook peeps posted this last night, and I thought it was great. It gives the first-person accounting of a playground incident that amounts to a clash between parenting cultures, the Helicopter-Mom culture and the "other." It occurs to me, perhaps there needs to be some kind of a name to describe the other. An acronym, maybe? "Intervention For Emergencies Only," I.F.E.O.?
Just like voting for Barack Obama — people of all shapes, colors, sizes, backgrounds and origins, once they do some good, quality left-brain thinking, will usually come around and say, Yes, I can see what is wrong with what we've done here and it's silly for me to deny it. I see what's wrong with the Helicopter-Mom brand of parenting. The problem isn't getting them started thinking about this. The problem is getting them to finish with it. Infuriatingly, there's always this "but" afterward, and following that you can almost hear the blood rushing into the right-brain artsy-fartsy touchy-feely part of the gray matter. Then, there follows some kind of muttering about absolute safety and feel-feel-feel, then, conclusion: We have to keep on keepin'-on. As far as the one indisputable point you've managed to make, Mr. Reason And Common Sense, which is "How is the kid going to learn to do a goddamn thing?", we'll just have to plug along and hope it somehow all works out. Cross that bridge when we come to it, or something.
And that's when "Playground Mom" decided she had enough because she walked briskly over to him and said "You need help sweetie? Give me your hand."
I was furious but not exactly shocked since I had seen it building to that point for the previous 10 minutes. But I still wasn't about to let it go without addressing it.
"Excuse me, but he doesn't need your help and he's fine. I'm his dad and I'm right here."
"Well clearly he does need help because he's about to fall," she said in full condescending mommy tone.
"Maybe, maybe not. But either way he'll be fine. I can parent my own kid."
Look, you can parent however you want but I have multiple problems with what happened. First of all, it's just another in a long list of examples that show some moms think they know everything — especially compared to dads. To openly step in and insert herself with me — the kid's actual parent — right there? Maybe she would've done the same to another mom, but I doubt it. It's a shitty attitude and I'm unbelievably sick of it.
Second, we are raising a generation of kids who know nothing about taking risks. Even on the monkey bars and playgrounds of America, the minute they hit some turbulence and adversity mommy and daddy are there to rescue them — and give them a trophy in the process. It makes me ill.
As he writes and I read, this guy's preaching to the choir. I don't understand the Helicopter-Mom thing, even though I've been trying to figure it out for years. I'm forced to rely on process-of-elimination, which among other things, is a tell-tale sign that I've failed at all other approaches. Also, it only works when the list of possibilities to be eliminated, starts out as an exhaustive one, covering everything.
So let us exhaust:
One. Helicopter-Mom parenting, say what you want about it, is a sincere effort. These are good, caring moms who don't want their own kids or any other kid to get hurt. When in the course of their tireless efforts to Prevent Bad Things From Happening, they end up shielding the kid from everyday exigencies and challenges, and over the long haul deliver to adulthood one incapable weak pussy whelp after another who can't do anything for himself, that is an unfortunate side-consequence but by no means is any part of their central focus or intent.
Two. Helicopter-Mom parenting is all about raising one incapable pussy whelp after another who can't do anything for himself. In other words, things this time are exactly as they appear. We are looking at a battle between the sexes. It is a war against manhood and masculinity, that's why you're seeing this saturated female aggression around it, it's there by design, and men had better wake the fuck up because it's very late in the battle. And thanks to the politically-correct forces of vengeful feminism, the gentlemen are still sleeping. Or silent, which ultimately is the same as sleeping. We're acting like fatherhood is replaceable, because we've been given a lot of messages that it is — and it isn't. The consequences are disastrous, on the scale of tragedies you see only when there was some fighting that had to be done that didn't get done.
Three is a midpoint between One and Two. It is more complicated, but I think it the most likely. This is only natural since both One and Two, while they have merits, are caricatures; caricatures very seldom mesh up well with real life.
Consider where, for the last forty-five years or so, feminism has failed in our evolving society most resoundingly. It has succeeded in ending careers and proving its destructive power, to such a great extent that it has made generations of honest people afraid to test it, and then, conversely, afraid to mention it or acknowledge it in any way. Even though everyone who's paid the slightest bit of attention knows how it works: Say the wrong thing, and you're gone. Whoever lifts a finger or utters a word to try to save you, is also gone. That's how "shunning" worked back in the olden days: "You are to be shunned, whoever does not shun you is likewise shuned, whoever does not shun he who did not shun you is also to be shunned." So the older established generations fear feminism, because we all have to make a living. The younger generation grows up hairless, chestless, and idea-less, standing up for nothing. Whenever an American Castrati ends a supposedly-declarative statement with a "…??" that's a victory for militant feminism. But — in the very young, those who haven't gravitated toward one world or another, here is where feminism fails. When they try to take the gender out of playtime, during the toddler-age. There's no reason in the world, feminism scolds us, that our retrograde, patriarchal, oppressive society couldn't be teaching girls to play with guns and shovels and hammers and drawing supplies, and boys to play with dolls.
Feminism is a big flop here. It achieves a patina of legitimacy only through the exceptions to the rules: Yes, some boys do like to play with dolls. Some girls are gifted at drawing. But the effort to reshape and remold the future generations through the remaking of the toddler, has fallen on its face time after time.
Wiring at work. The boy-toddlers are given Barbie dolls. They point the dolls at each other and yell "bang!"
Here's an irony: I'm in the middle of attacking feminism, and what you're about to read is me essentially repeating a lot of catchphrases straight from feminism, thereby highlighting it's inherent, internal, unworkable contradiction. The female half of the species has been created to — or evolved to — create, preserve and protect as part of its instinctive drive. The male half can't even fully understand this. Nor is it our place to do so. We only barely comprehend it enough to meet it, charm it, seduce it, couple up with it, build a life with it, and do what we can to protect the protectors. It is how the human race has always worked: Momma protects baby, Daddy protects Momma. Okay, feminists aren't quite jiggy with that last part. But they're certainly wild about that male-female-protection business when it has to do with the male finding out what the female wants, and bringing it to her.
But it all means this: Girls play with dolls. The playing with the dolls has a lot to do with practicing the acting-out of their maternal instincts, later on once they are of mothering age.
Think about what a doll is. Think about what it does. It does what it's told, although it has needs. Some dolls even shit their diapers. It isn't self-sufficient in any way; if they built a doll like that, there'd be no point for anyone to own it. Some dolls are told to do certain things; they do them, unquestioningly.
And there may be exceptions to this, but: Generally, dolls don't learn. Maybe that's a big part of the problem right there.
No, the dolls stick to what is expected of them. The ones that can speak, say what they are expected to say. They are zero-surprise devices. And they have big gorgeous eyes. They need protection.
So for my exhaustive list, my third possibility is a hybrid between One and Two. The desire to protect the child is sincere, solidified since the mother's own toddler-years playing with dolls. But the playing-with-dolls ritual has done nothing to invigorate the mother's emotional maturity, nor has anything else that came afterward, too much. She limps along in life with the emotional intelligence of a nine-year-old. That's why, when you point out the obvious that "Your kid won't reach adulthood capable of actually doing anything useful" you get back this useless, platitudinous, purely ornamental "Yes, I can see what you're saying there" followed by the ever-present "but" followed by the disgusting glurgey nonsense followed by the so-we'll-just-keep-on-keepin'-on. That's what people do when they are emotionally immature. They go through the motions of discussing things rationally, with reason and common sense and logic, until such time as the logic veers off in a direction that isn't to their liking. Then they mumble a bunch of buzzwords and go on doing what they were going to do anyway.
So this third, more realistic possibility is that the helicopter-mom really does want to prevent bad things from happening to the child — but there's a conscious-versus-subconscious thing kicking in there. The statement "yes I can see what you're saying" about the benefits to rough-and-tumble tough-love parenting — that is also sincere. But it will never win out. EVER. Because there are two personalities sharing the same body there, and the over-protective one that smothers the bear cub, and keeps it from ever learning to pull its own fish out of the stream, will always win out.
I'll finish this by noting something that applies to all three of the possibilities I've considered: Across the board, the only remedy possible, other than allowing the tragedy to continue, is for someone else to intervene.
I'm not optimistic about this. It is contrary to what our society is inclined to do, contrary to what it has been doing. The pushy female would have to be told no. That would be a change of direction on a scale nothing short of revolutionary. We've shown ourselves to be capable of revolutions, but not often. And not like this. But if nothing else, the writer of the article shows it is possible to think globally while acting locally.
Is it in us? Time will tell. Everything depends on it.

Google's taken its
online word processor, combined it with the Google Spreadsheets product
released in
June and put the two out in a combined new service called
Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
Visit the site, and you can create a text document or spreadsheet depending
on your needs. Why not call it Google Office? Google told me they felt that name
already had obvious connotations of another product out there [IE, Microsoft
Office], and they wanted to underscore that this was a different creature.
Google also explained to me that these products aren't likely to match many
of the features that mature software-based word processors or spreadsheets have.
This came up when I noted in
playing with Google Spreadsheets that sorting was too rudimentary for me.
Perhaps that will change, but the main point is that these online tools are not
meant as or expected to wholescale replace existing products. That doesn't mean
they aren't useful. Those with less intensive needs will likely find them
helpful, especially if you have to share and interact with others.
How about that name? A bit clunky? Google said they were happy with it being
descriptive and that no one would have any misconceptions about what's offered.
Love the name Writely? Wish it well. That name is now retired. Google
Spreadsheets also sort of goes away, graduating from
Google Labs and losing its standalone
identity as it becomes part of the new service.
Interestingly, Google Docs & Spreadsheets hasn't been added to the
Google Apps For Your Domain program
launched in
Want some reviews? Techmeme
recaps plenty of
people talking about them out there.

Lester wins A's debut, Gomes backs him to beat KC
Associated Press - August 2, 2014 7:14 pm
Brett Eibner's single capped the biggest ninth-inning comeback in Kansas City Royals history, a seven-run rally off David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle that lifted the World Series champions over the Chicago White Sox 8-7 Saturday.
Jon Lester won his Oakland debut while pitching into the seventh inning and Jonny Gomes got two hits during an eight-run burst in his return to the Athletics as they beat the Kansas City Royals 8-3 Saturday.
Two days after being traded from the sagging World Series champion Boston Red Sox, Lester and Gomes teamed up to boost the club with the best record in baseball.
The 6-foot-4 Lester (11-7) instantly became an imposing presence on the mound in the pitcher-friendly Coliseum. Fans in the crowd of 30,097 cheered the lefty as he went through his warmup routine in left field, then Lester tipped his cap to a roaring ovation when he left after throwing 6 2-3 innings.
Back with the AL West-leading A's, Gomes delivered in an eight-run fifth inning. He singled and scored off Jason Vargas (8-5), then hit a hit a two-run single off Aaron Crow.

QPR 3-0 Yeovil: Morrison brace gives hosts easy win and heaps more misery on visitors
Ravel Morrison grabbed another brace as QPR got back to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Yeovil.
The on-loan West Ham midfielder, whose two goals against Birmingham last weekend earned Rangers their first win in six attempts, repeated the trick against the lowly Glovers.
Forgotten striker Bobby Zamora also got in on the act with his first goal in more than a year as Harry Redknapp's side bounced back from their midweek defeat at Brighton.
Star performer: Ravel Morrison scored twice in QPR's 3-0 win against Yeovil in the Championship on Saturday
Match facts
QPR: Green (Murphy 68), Onuoha, Dunne, Hill, Hughes, Jenas, Barton, Hoilett, Morrison, Traore (Kranjcar 44), Keane (Zamora 66)
Subs not used: Carroll, Henry, Benayoun, Maiga.
Goals: Morrison, Zamora, Morrison.
Yeovil: Stech,
Ayling, Webster, Duffy, McAllister (Ofori-Twumasi 76), Holmes (Dawson
29), Edwards, Lanzoni, Lawrence, Miller, Hayter (Morgan 76).
Subs not used: Moore, Hoskins, Dunn.
Booked: McAllister, Dawson, Lawrence.
The scoreline was harsh on Yeovil, though, who went agonisingly close to equalising when Tom Lawrence's shot hit a post.
Somerset side remain in with a chance of staying up but the gulf in
resources between them and their opponents eventually told at Loftus
While they survive on a League Two budget Rangers continue to
throw good money after bad as they bid for promotion, and their recent
punt on Morrison looks like paying off.
Rangers had to weather an
early storm with Rob Green keeping out an angled drive from Lawrence and
Luke Ayling firing narrowly wide.
But the hosts soon began to take
control and Joey Barton's shot was deflected over, Armand Traore fired
wide and Marek Stech just managed to tip Morrison's scuffed volley
around the post.
And the breakthrough came in the 25th minute when Morrison collected the ball just outside the area. The England Under-21 international tip-toed along the 18-yard line, delaying his shot with a couple of neat feints before unleashing an unstoppable drive in off the post
Up for it: QPR striker Bobby Zamora (right) heads home his side's second goal in Saturday's 3-0 victory
Rangers could have doubled their lead before the interval but Junior Hoilett dawdled when he should have shot in the area and Clint Hill blazed wide.
After the break substitute Niko Kranjcar twice tested Stech with curling efforts, and twice the Yeovil keeper was equal to them.
But Town refused to wilt and they were inches from grabbing an equaliser when Lawrence took aim from 25 yards and his fierce, swerving effort cannoned back off the post with Rob Green rooted to the spot.
That scare stung Rangers into life, however, and Jermaine Jenas almost got on the scoresheet with a dipping shot which clipped the top of the crossbar.
Eyes on the prize: QPR's Will Keane (left) challenges for the ball against Yeovi;s's Matteo Lanzoni (right)
The second goal eventually arrived in the 70th minute when substitute Zamora, who had only been on the pitch four minutes, nodded in an inviting cross from Junior Hoilett.
And Morrison grabbed his second to kill Yeovil off in the last minute when he tucked in Kranjcar's pass.

Fundraising woes have claimed another hedge fund victim, as Brencourt Advisors plans to close its doors.
The New York-based multi-strategy hedge fund said it would return outside capital and become a family office, liquidating most of its funds by the end of the year. Clients can expect to begin receiving their money in October, Bloomberg News reports.
Brencourt broke the news to investors in a Sept. 14 letter. It told clients that it would liquidate all of most of its Multi Strategy, Credit Opportunities and Merger Arbitrage funds. The $300 million firm, which once managed as much as $2.5 billion, said its fundraising struggles were to blame for its demise after a dozen years in business.
Brencourt has about 20 employees, whose fate is unclear.
"I intend to convert Brencourt Advisors to a family office in 2013," CEO William Collins wrote. "This will allow me to continue to participate in the profession which I immensely enjoyed over the last 36 years, while providing me with more time to spend with my family and purse my charitable and other interests."
All three of Brencourt's funds are up about 3% this year.

Building owners and operators are interested in saving money. Sometimes that means gaining LEED credits, sometimes it means understanding if a renovation is going to save on energy costs in the future.
Building information modeling can help facilities managers with a variety of analyses including energy efficiency, air flow modeling and more. Our latest whitepaper delves into the what and the why of sustainability with BIM, helping owners understand what can be done and what data can be available.

Assigning colors to elements in Navisworks based on what MEP system they are associated with can be quick, easy, automated, and standardized using the Appearance Profiler
Here is a write-up to apply colors to elements from Revit systems:
To assign colors to MEP systems from Autodesk Fabrication CADmep you can follow the same steps but use the following properties.
Category: CADmep+
Property: Service
Equals: Supply Air (Modify as Appropriate)
The color will change regardless of the layer color used in AutoCAD.
Follow the steps in this link to standardize and reuse the color standards.
Laser scanned data is a valuable input to Revit models. For example, laser scans can capture important aspects of building conditions, such as walls that aren't plumb or door openings that may be slightly smaller at the bottom than at the top. Point clouds also capture three dimensional building elements, such as pipes, ducts, and other infrastructure.
As noted in a prior blog post, getting point clouds into an intelligent Revit model isn't easy. Firms appreciate IMAGINiT Technologies' Scan to BIM product because it provides advanced tools for extracting geometry from point clouds, such as architecture, MEP, and more.
These tools are especially helpful when trying to understand where (and how much) models deviate from the reality represented by the point cloud. For example, you may have modeled elements in Revit that are nominally perfect. The walls are straight, pipes don't sag, and the floors are perfectly level. Yet, you need the ability to document how closely the model matches reality. This is where Scan to BIM can help.
Scan to BIM offers three tools for documenting deviations between Revit elements and faces, and the point cloud:
The benefits of Scan to BIM are numerous. Firms see significant cost savings when creating intelligent Revit models from laser scanned data. Scan to BIM gives users the tools they need to produce professional documentation quickly. This means they can deliver models to clients faster. As a result, customers have more time to review designs and make informed decisions before site work begins. More accurate building information models also enable building owners to make smart downstream decisions regarding ongoing maintenance.
With Scan to BIM, design teams enjoy the advantages of laser scanned point clouds, as well as the power of Revit models. The solution combines the best of both technologies, while automating the manual steps that teams used to have to take.
Laser scanning is a great way for architects, facility owners, and contractors to obtain precise information about the size, shape, and design conditions of buildings. Laser scanned data alone, however, has limited value from a design perspective.
While many project teams want to convert laser scanned information into a 3D Revit model, they find that this process is time consuming. A typical workflow is to review the scan in a tool such as Autodesk Recap, then link the point cloud into a Revit model. Revit provides very basic tools to trace walls in two dimensions, but that's all. Since modelers' time is often costly, a better solution is needed to address the wide variety of modeling needs.
IMAGINiT Technologies' Scan to BIM product provides more advanced mechanisms to extract geometry from point clouds, such as architectural elements, MEP elements, construction geometry, and more. With Scan to BIM, users create these elements directly in Revit. In our next post, we will discuss why firms are adopting Scan to BIM and the benefits they are seeing.

There are several different methods to use when creating duct systems. You can create all the duct and let the systems create themselves, which is never really a good idea. Each time you create a piece of duct that is not connected or copied from an existing piece, Revit will make you a new System Name. Example - Mechanical Supply Air 1 (referenced as MSA 1 later), Mechanical Supply Air 2, etc. If you connect them in the correct order, they will consolidate, but not always.
The next method is to create the duct system from the VAV, then add the Air Terminals. The last method we will discuss is when you create the duct system from the Air Terminal, then add the VAV and AHU to the equation, working your way back upstream. It feels backwards because it isn't typically how systems are designed, or how the designer is logically thinking out the system.
What I am chiefly concerned about is the organization of the systems in the System Browser, and the ability of the software to provide you with the most information possible.
Here is the basic layout I will be working with. The main AHU is in the lower left, there is one VAV in the hall, and supply air terminals spread throughout the other rooms.
I will start with the first method. Not creating any systems and kind of let them create themselves.
The Systems Browser ends up looking kind of like this:
One of the main negatives is the organization obviously. The other downside is that if you wanted the supply air systems to be named or numbered differently, you would need to get into the system editor and change them.
With the second method, I created the supply air systems from the AHU to the air terminals. In the graphic, lower left to upper right.
The System Browser ends up looking a little something like this:
With the AHU at the bottom of the list, the system it falls under isn't calculating the flow properly. This is in addition to a less than advantageous organizational structure.
Here is the graphic on the last setup:
For this, I would select the air terminals, then select create duct system. I would finish off that system by clicking on the VAV as my source for that system. I would do the same process at the VAV level and select the AHU as the source.
Then the System Browser looks like this:
Notice MSA 1 falls under MSA 2, and that's what I want. Additionally, when I create ducts to connect all these devices, they will automatically be in the correct system. Finally, the software is able to calculate the flow of all the systems for you.
It might take a little time to set your systems up properly but it will be worth it. Duct drawn from the equipment in the system have the correct System Name.

Modelling pipes in Revit at a 45 degree angle is necessary for a variety of situations. Lucky for us the trick to be able to do this is easy.
Here are a few examples of when you may need to do this:
Steps to add a slope for 45˚
1. Go to Manage / MEP Settings
2. Find Slopes in the list of Settings and add a New Slope at 12"/12".
3. When modelling piping, toggle the 12"/12" slope as necessary.
Now you will have the new slope to choose from while modeling pipe. In addition to ease of use, adding a new angle helps reduce the risk that the pipe will be drawn on an angle slightly less or more than intended.
It's an unfortunate reality that design teams often spend significant amounts of time on necessary, but non-value-added tasks. A recent survey we conducted found, for example, that over 50% of designers, engineers, and construction professionals always or very often print PDFs to check the design process. Printing sheet sets is compute intensive and can tie up computers for hours. Other manual, labor intensive tasks include the time BIM Coordinators spend cleaning up and exchanging Revit models with partners, as well as creating room and equipment data sheets.
Inefficiency doesn't have to be the norm, however. Companies that are using IMAGINiT Clarity find that task automation frees valuable time for teams. Architecture firm RLF, for instance, automatically generates PDF files nightly and each evening over 40 tasks are run. Data aggregated from Clarity users shows that IMAGINiT Clarity saves teams on average 205 hours per project. That translates into 25 work days per project.
If your team could save that amount of time on every project, how would you deploy resources in more productive ways? The possibilities are endless, but popular options are taking on additional project work, spending more time on new business development, and differentiating the firm from the competition by delivering results to clients faster.

Happy New Year! In the spirit of starting a new year, here is an important tip for starting your Revit projects.
There is now an option for Revit projects to choose the worksets coming in from your other linked files you would like to work with. This is the perk of opening up a Revit file that you receive from a consultant and check it out before you link it to yours and use it. You can explore the worksets and see if there is any way you can use them. Personally, I always always maintain the worksets of files I receive when I open it because I want to see how other companies are utilizing their worksets and I want to see if there is anything I can leverage. Some projects may benefit from the reassignment of MEP shared categories being added to a specific workset during model clean up. But you don't necessarily need to make a bunch of changes in a consultant file to leverage workset data in it.
This project's architectural file has a significant amount of entourage in it. Entourage that the MEP disciplines are not interested in at all. There are quite a few trees at the very least.
I will start a new project from my company's mechanical template, skipping worksharing for the sake of being brief, and go straight to Link Revit. Navigate to the file and drop down the open options to specify which worksets you want.
The information from the linked Revit project comes through, minus the workset that was closed.
This operation should always make your model more lean and mean. Project load times may be significantly improved and object visibility of shared categories can be more easily controlled.

There are several methods or Appending a Revit model into Navisworks. The method that is most efficient is debatable and often a compromise between performance and manual effort, unless you have IMAGINiT Clarity which can export .nwc (Navisworks Cache) automatically by schedule or on demand.
Navisworks has the ability to link in a Revit model directly by "appending" the .rvt file. The advantage to this method is that as you resolve clashes or make changes you can save the Revit file and click Refresh in Navisworks. It also eliminates much of the manual effort of exporting NWC files repeatedly.
If you have tried this method you have likely had the problem when linking Revit into Navisworks, Revit elements are missing. To solve or avoid this problem you need to understand and check the settings in Navisworks.
1. Click on the Application Menu and go to the Options in the lower right.
2. Click on File Readers then Revit
3. There are several options and settings you should review and understand.
4. To resolve the problem of missing Revit Elements, check the Convert settings. There are three options; Navisworks View, First 3D View, and Entire Project.
a. By using Navisworks View the program will only import views that contain the word "Navis" in the name and it will only import Elements contained in those views.
b. Entire Project will bring in all of the Elements and 3D Views in the Revit Project you wish to Append.
Leveraging the Navisworks View by setting up named views in the Revit model or changing the setting to Entire Project should resolve the problem of Missing Elements when Appending/Linking Revit into Navisworks.

How do you take the concept of mobile marketing and make it both actionable and profitable? Driving Mobile Traffic: SEO & PPC, a panel at SES New York 2012 moderated by Angie Schottmuller (@aschottmuller), Founder, Interactive Artisan, tackled the marketplace today, mobile friendly websites, and PPC and SEO fundamentals specific to mobile marketing. Here's a recap of the information-packed session.
Why Mobile Matters
Jason Wells (@jasonrwells), CEO, ContactPoint, started by giving the audience a nice overview the mobile marketplace and important statistics and trends in adoption.
Why is it the right time to start moving forward in mobile marketing? We're at the beginning of the adoption curve for marketers but it is certainly starting to ramp up. It is at this point where the winners in their respective marketplaces will be decided.
Need mobile marketing stats? Wells' presentation didn't disappoint. Here is the short list:
- There are 6.8 billion people on the planet, 5.1 billion own a phone, and only 4.2 billion own a toothbrush (Unysis 2011)
- It takes on average 90 minutes to respond to email and only 90 seconds to respond to a text message (CTIA.org 2011)
- The percentage of mobile subscribers that own a smartphone has gone from 31 percent in January 2011 to 48 percent in January 2012 (Nielsen 2012)
- In the 18-34 year old age group, 80 percent of those that bought a phone in the past 3 months bought a smartphone (Nielsen 2012)
- 9 of 10 mobile searchers take action after a phone search (Google 2011)
- 7 of 10 mobile searchers take action within an hour (Mobile Marketer 2011)
- Google predicts mobile search will surpass desktop search at some point within or between 2014 and 2015
Addressing mobile PPC fundamentals, Wells outlined several core places to start.
- It's critical to set clearly defined goals (examples: lead generation, application download, buy now, phone call, in-store visit).
- Don't simply assume similarities with desktop search.
- Evaluate your websites landing pages to determine if they are mobile ready through testing on various devices and browsers (Android 2.x and iOS 3.x or later).
- Don't forget mobile analytics. Capture and report on device and browser information (and behaviors associated with them) to make future assessments.
Wells recommended setting up a separate mobile campaign from desktop campaign and noted that Google AdWords will syndicate on mobile to start (so you might want to prevent that from happening). Other key pieces of information on mobile campaign development:
- Bid for position 1 to 5 to be on Page 1 for mobile results but many searches will end up with only 1 to 3 ad messages on first page results.
- Leverage keyword misspellings and emphasize shorter keyword phrases.
- Start broad (match) to discover various mobile keyword phrases and then use negative keywords and phrase matches to optimize.
- Geo-target and take advantage of location awareness.
- Incorporate Day-Parting as desktop search "off-hours" become mobile search "on-hours".
- Sell the click more than ever as you need short ad copy for shorter attention spans.
- Mobile searchers are looking for "instant gratification" (call, buy, or download now) and want to see 1-click actions.
- The most common action in mobile is a phone call.
Remember that there are distinct differences between smartphones and tablets. You have to build site assets that tackle both.
Building a Site With Mobile Device Usage & SEO in Mind
Avi Wilensky (@aviw), CEO of Promediacorp, was up next and his presentation focused on mobile site optimization. Wilensky argued that the term "mobile SEO" was rather nebulous. There is no consensus on the definition. What is key for marketers is to get the user experience right, keep bounce rate down, and focus on site architecture and the consolidation of link equity.
A bad user experience leads to the searcher returning to search engine results.
While there is a significant debate on building mobile through the use of subdomains versus subdirectories versus completely different top level domains, the specific scenario will often dictate choice. For example, subdomains might be easiest to implement but run a risk, since search engines will see as two separate sites, which could divide link equity.
The biggest SEO issue regardless with mobile sites is in dealing with and mitigating divided link equity. Wilensky provided links discussing the major search engines positions on this.
- Google: One URL With Special Stylesheet Is Easy Mobile SEO
- Bing Takes Clear Stance On Mobile SEO: One URL
Wilensky indicated that Google may "resize, adjust, or convert images, text formatting and/or certain aspects of web page functionality", in an effort to show optimal mobile browser layouts (of sites) from traditional desktop-specific results. This is known as transcoding and Google has a full write-up and how to mitigate this through redirection.
Responsive Web Design
The big topic in the mobile development world is responsive web design, which is device agnostic, using the media query in CSS3 to detect the display size. Layout renders as a result of screen real estate available.
There are pros and cons to responsive web design to consider.
- Responsive web design (RWD) will not be an easy win on legacy sites.
- While RWD enables a single URL structure (maximum link equity) it can be tricky to implement.
- No server side redirection (faster) but for advanced mobile marketing, there may be a need to design with multiple screen sizes and orientations in mind.
- Fewer URLs and more crawl budget but not IE8 supported or with older versions of Firefox.
- One HTML page (less maintenance) but more calls and slower page load.
Finally, Wilensky made mention of a new smartphone Google Mobile bot looks at smart versus feature phones, not device type. New Googlebot improves UX by displaying the destination URL in the SERPs, decreases latency by avoiding mobile redirects.
The Cross-Over Between PPC & SEO in Mobile Marketing
Kerri Smith, Senior Innovation Lead for Mobile at iProspect, closed out the session with a presentation focused on the cross-over between PPC and SEO in mobile marketing. The first goal of the mobile SEO and PPC strategy? Own SERP real estate.
- 85 percent of visitors look at the top 2 AdWords results.
- 60 percent above the fold for organic listings whereas 16 percent (and lower) below the fold.
- When owning SERP real estate for keywords in mobile, viewing time is nearly double and improves brand awareness by 4 times.
Smith stressed the importance of knowing how to spot indexing problems. Are site variations appearing appropriately for various devices and sources? Another important recommendation was to ensure users are getting to the right locations (i.e., don't redirect mobile users to home page, redirect to the specific, applicable page).
Mobilizing the Advertising Experience
When developing mobile ads, Smith recommended to efficiently capturing traffic by offering users the experience that is most desirable to them. Take advantage of mobile specific ad units:
- The Must-Haves: Site Links (increase SOV & reduce the user click path with deep linking) and Offer Ads (increase CTR/decrease CPC and opportunity to connect online to offline)
- Location Extensions: Triggers if user is in proximity to location in both search and maps, increases relevancy & can be used to drive in-store traffic
- Bid by Distance: Bid boost around locations
- Click to Call: With click to call, give the user the choice and optimize to their best experience
Effectively keep traffic by optimizing the user experience to take advantage of device functionality and make sure to optimize for local search, click to call, and form optimization
Search Engine Optimization Tips for Local
It's important to focus (refocus?) on core SEO elements when optimizing for local. This includes:
- Title tags, meta keywords (suggests property specific location information)
- Image ALT tags (go beyond the basic "what is it" and use location-based ALTs)
- Update and ensure ongoing maintenance of location information to keep content fresh for mobile users
- Make the experience social by influencing the consumer consideration cycle by leveraging popular social media platforms (Bing – Facebook/Twitter, Google/Google+, Pinterest/Instagram, Foursquare Explore
- Allow active consumers to endorse your product & drive qualified traffic
"Users are in more control of the internet than ever. Empower them as best you can to gain their trust and learn from their feedback."

If you're a regular reader, you know my Shelter Sunday feature usually focuses on one particular dog at one particular shelter. However, as I was scrolling through my Facebook feed today, I came across this story, and it really touched me so I wanted to share it with all of you. The author is Steph King Phenix, who works with Last Hope K-9 Rescue in Boston. She really hits the nail directly on the head.
I usually like to focus on happy rescue stories, but given recent discussion around rescue dogs on my Facebook I feel like I need to go in another direction this time. Thirty one people from our rescue just got back from a 5 day trip to Arkansas. We paid our own airfare and expenses and stayed in the homes of AR fosters and volunteers. Thank you to my friends and family who donated for our projects, without you we would not have been able to do as much work as we did. [Read more]

September 2012 was unofficially the 5th warmest September in the satellite record, which began in 1979, according to Remote Sensing Systems (RSS).
RSS measures lower tropospheric temperatures using microwave sounding instrumentation on board satellites.
The RSS image below shows the global temperature anomalies of the lower troposphere for September 2012.
Globally (70 degrees S. to 82.5 N.), September 2012 averaged 0.383 degrees C. or 0.689 degrees F. above normal.
This September 2012 temperature anomaly is the highest since September 2010 and likely reflects the loss of the cooling influence from the recent double-barrel La Nina as temperature anomalies have resumed the upward trend this year.
For the continental USA the temperature anomaly was +0.277 C or +0.499 F.
The northern Hemisphere was quite warm compared to normal, averaging +0.451 C or 0.812 F. for September 2012.
MSU/AMSU data are produced by Remote Sensing Systems.
The warming influence of carbon dioxide has increased by 50 percent above pre-industrial levels during the past 25 years, according to NOAA.
The incredible streak of record-breaking global warmth continued through April.
April 2016 was the warmest April on record globally, according to NASA GISS.
Global model simulations indicate significant ocean deoxygenation in a matter of decades.
What happens to the glacial meltwater from Greenland when it enters the ocean?

#95 2013 Aston Martin Vantage GTE race carEnlarge Photo
Simonsen, competing in the GTE Am class, was driving the #95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE when he lost control and spun at high speed. The car eventually skidded into a barrier at the Tertre Rouge corner.
The accident caused the safety car to come out and the race to be delayed by an hour while the barrier was repaired.
This was the 34-year-old's seventh Le Mans race. Sharing his car this year were Kristian Poulsen and Christoffer Nygaard.
In a statement, Aston Martin racing director John Gaw said: "On behalf of all of us at Aston Martin, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the individuals and families whose friends or loved ones were involved in today's terrible tragedy."
The automaker has four other cars competing this year and will continue its campaign, at the specific request of Simonsen's family. A further statement will be released once precise circumstances of the accident have been determined.

9. Campingits handy Satellite GPS Timekeeping technology, the Citizen Promaster Navihawk GPS will also come in handy if you're crossing states to camp. Your definition of camping might be setting up a tent, staying in a camper or even renting a cottage if you really can't stand roughing it. Regardless, camping is especially meaningful if you live in an urban area; the calm and quiet of the woods can be downright therapeutic, if a little overwhelming at first. Your son might not get the idea right away and want to revert to his phone, but be patient. Given a little time to adjust, he'll probably have more fun at the lake and on the trails than he ever thought possible.
