In two days, hurricane winds and broken levees took what now seem certain to be thousands of lives. As the fetid waters begin to recede in New Orleans, revealing unprecedented levels of property damage, it is clear that it will take years to rebuild.
During a week in which few politicians distinguished themselves, House Speaker Dennis Hastert set some kind of record for insensitivity by declaring that it would not make sense to rebuild at all and that much of the city "could be bulldozed." Hastert was quickly shushed, but he raised a relevant question: What will happen to New Orleans?
In his belated visit to the area last Friday, President Bush stopped short of promising that the city would be restored to something like what it was two weeks ago. And a CNN poll released today says most Americans believe the city will never recover -- despite disaster relief that is expected to top $100 billion, according to news reports.
This is not to say that a city called New Orleans won't exist. But it may be far different in character and demographics than the Crescent City of the past. That town, with its notorious party spirit, legendary jazz and great cuisine, thrived on tourism -- and those aspects may be preserved, albeit in a renovated, possibly Disneyfied way. What is in doubt is the future of the city that tourists don't see, but which the tragedy has revealed: a community with a 25 percent poverty rate, nearly twice the national average, a place where the median family income was $32,000 -- more than $10,000 below the national median.
Even before the bodies have been recovered from the low-lying, low-income areas, the rebuilding effort is attracting the attention of developers who assume that the demographics have no place to go but up. Absent a government program to create vast swaths of affordable housing, it seems most likely that the new New Orleans will be a more upscale, gentrified place.
"It's like a forest after a fire," says Doron Valero, president of North Miami Beach, Fla.-based Equity One Inc., who says his 14 Louisiana properties were on higher land and suffered little damage. "There will be devastation, but then the government is going to build it back and billions and billions of corporate dollars will flow into the city."
One key player in the rebuilding of retail property in New Orleans will be General Growth Properties Inc. The company is one of the largest retail landlords in the city and, at this point, is not commenting on the damage its malls have sustained or on its plans for rebuilding. However, a recorded message on the company's employee hotline reported that Oakwood Center in Gretna, La., just south of the Mississippi River from New Orleans, sustained "major fire, smoke and water damage. " A spokeswoman declined to say how the fire started.
Riverwalk Marketplace, right on the Mississippi in New Orleans, apparently suffered more damage from looting than from flooding; it is sited on higher ground than the rest of the city and the National Guard is using it as a staging center for emergency operations
Riverlands Shopping Center, about 30 miles west of the city, also suffered extensive damage. All three malls were deemed "unsafe to enter," according to the hotline. A fourth General Growth property, Metrocenter Mall in Jackson, Miss., also in Katrina's path, lost its power right after the hurricane hit, but has since reopened for business.
The reconstruction of New Orleans could give General Growth an opportunity to reshape its strategy there. And clearly, a more upscale population would make the challenge easier. Riverwalk, a festival mall favored by tourists that was among the Rouse Co. properties that General Growth acquired last year, has been an under-performer. Even before Katrina, the company was looking at how to reposition the property to make it less reliant on tourism and more appropriate for national retailers. "When Jim Rouse invested in the festival marketplace, it was unique; very forward-looking," General Growth CEO John Bucksbaum told Retail Traffic in an interview late last year. "Over time, not all have worked out economically the way they were envisioned." Bucksbaum was unavailable for comment this week.
Valero, meanwhile, remains optimistic and is considering buying more properties in the area -- a shift from the company's earlier decision to exit the Louisiana market for areas with less competition. "For us, it's an opportunity," he says. "I have no doubt in my mind it will come back stronger."

MONTREAL (AP) — The French-speaking city of Montreal elected an Anglophone mayor Friday for the first time in 100 years, following his predecessor's resignation over allegations of corruption.
Michael Applebaum won a city council vote to serve as interim mayor for only a year, with a promise not to run in the next municipal election of November 2013.
Applebaum speaks French, but it's not his first language and Anglophones in Canada's French-speaking province of Quebec rarely hold prominent political roles.
Because former mayor Gerald Tremblay resigned last week, a year before an election, provincial law dictates that his successor had to be picked by the city council on an interim basis.
Tremblay stepped down as a public inquiry hears testimony linking him to graft and organized crime.
Martin Dumont, who worked for Tremblay's Union Montreal party, testified that the mayor knew about illegal financing within his political party and didn't care.
Tremblay, mayor for 11 years, has denied any knowledge of wrongdoing and says he was let down by underlings. There is no suggestion he profited personally and he said he was resigning to spare his city further difficulty.
Frank Zampino, once a top adviser to Tremblay, faces fraud charges and current employees have been suspended.
Following Tremblay's resignation, Gilles Vaillancourt, the mayor of Quebec's third-largest city stepped down after 23 years as mayor of Laval, a suburb of Montreal.
Quebec, the only province with French as its official language, has fought to maintain this linguistic identity despite changing demographics due to immigrant populations.
In Montreal, Canada's second largest city with a population of 1.7 million, about 13 percent of people claim English as their mother tongue and the notion of an Anglophone mayor would have seemed highly unlikely just a few weeks ago.
Even last week, Applebaum appeared to have a slim chance of success but he went about building support, and as details of the corruption scandal unfolded, he grew increasingly popular.
In his speech before the vote, Applebaum cast himself as a historic candidate not for linguistic reasons but because he wanted to create a multi-party coalition, bringing together former foes to clean up the scandal-plagued city.
"You have a chance to make history today," he told council colleagues, "as the city council that moved beyond the sterile bickering."

Keds' iconic Champion sneaker has been revamped for spring with a little help from Taylor Swift, who has taken her relationship with the brand to the next level by collaborating on 11 styles for the new season.
A chevron print is made up of miniature guitars, while polka dots over stripes are certainly in line with Taylor's girly fashion sense. Each sneaker is completed with a charm—either an antiqued guitar pick or a silver heart decorated with the number 13 (Taylor's favorite!). Whether you're heading to a Red concert or to biology class, these kicks are sure to please.

DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Bangladesh's Parliament amended the country's war crimes law on Sunday, allowing prosecutors to appeal the life sentence given to an opposition leader for his role in mass killings during the 1971 war for independence.
Prior to the passing of three amendments to the 1973 law, only a defendant could appeal a sentence.
Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said in Parliament that the changes were retroactive to July 2009, allowing state prosecutors to appeal the life sentence handed down to Abdul Quader Mollah for his role in the killing of 381 civilians during the independence war against Pakistan. The prosecution had sought the death penalty for Mollah, and many Bangladeshis took part in mass protests demanding he be executed.
Mollah is a leader of Bangladesh's largest Islamic party, Jamaat-e-islami.
Legal analyst Shahdeen Malik said that the amendments would strengthen the law, and that the country's legal system could be counted on to give verdicts based on evidence and not simply in response to street pressure.
But New York-based Human Rights Watch has criticized the amendments, saying that passing retroactive laws to overturn unpopular verdicts violates the country's commitment to protect the rights of defendants.
Nine other top leaders of Mollah's party, including its chief, Matiur Rahman Nizami, are on trial on charges of atrocities during the nine-month war.
Last month, a war crimes tribunal sentenced Islamic cleric Abul Kalam Azad, a former member of Jamaat-e-islami, to death for his role in mass killings and rape during the war.
Jamaat, a key ally of Bangladesh's main opposition party, campaigned against Bangladesh's war of separation from Pakistan, but it denies committing atrocities.
Jamaat has held a series of protests to demand that the government stop the trials and free its leaders, and has called for a nationwide general strike for Monday.

|Panthers | Cam Newton says critics not racist
Thu, 25 Oct 2012 05:07:54 -0700
Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton said he does not believe the amount of criticism he has received this season is based on his race. Former NFL QB Warren Moon came out recently and said race could be a factor. "I haven't heard (Moon's) remarks, but when it comes to race and this game, I don't think there is none at all," Newton said.

|Panthers | Criticism of Cam Newton based on race?
Wed, 24 Oct 2012 07:17:29 -0700
Former NFL QB Warren Moon believes Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton is getting too much of the blame for the team's struggles this season and claims race could be a factor. "I heard somebody compare him to Vince Young. It's the same old crap - it's always a comparison of one black to another black. I get tired of it. I get tired of defending it," Moon said. "If you want to compare him to someone because of his demeanor, compare him to Jay Cutler. There are a lot of guys who whine and moan. Cam's not biting anybody's head off or pushing his linemen. He's just disgruntled, and not handling losing well, because, think about it, he basically didn't lose in college," Moon added.

Firefighters make quick stop in Gilford marina fire
December 24. 2013 7:44PM
Firefighters managed to stop a fire in a canvas shop at a Gilford marina from spreading beyond the area where it started late Christmas Eve afternoon.
The fire in the Silver Sands Marina broke out shortly before 4 p.m. A passerby called in the alarm on a cell phone. Firefighters arrived to find smoke in the rear of a building used for office and showroom space.
Crews got water on the fire quickly and prevented it from spreading beyond the canvas room at the Silver Sands. As a precaution, a hose was brought to the nearby Mountain View Marina, but the fire was out so quickly that the line did not need to be charged with water. Crews needed only the water carried to the fire by tank truck to
The building was unoccupied when the fire broke out, and the fire was confined to the canvas shop on the second floor of the building. The flames had started to spread to the walls and ceiling but was put out.
Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier said the fact that he fire broke out right before dusk meant it was discovered before it would make much progress.
"This was a great example of early notification," said Gilford Fire Chief Stephen Carrier in a statement. "If it had been the middle of the night, nobody would have seen the fire until it was blowing out the windows."
Gilford firefighters had help from engine and ladder companies from Laconia, along with members of the Belmont and Meredith departments. Tilton-Northfield and Holderness firefighters manned the Gilford station.
The fire was of unknown origin and and investigation has been launched.
"This was a great job by the first-in crews," Carrier said. "This was a large and valuable building with valuable contents and they were able to confine the fire and extinguish it where it started."

Hello, fellow personal finance enthusiasts,
Activity on this group has waned since a few years ago when we were actively campaigning for "move your money". An active group move off and formed the Whatcom Investing Network (WIN). We meet monthly and provide an active venue for local businesses seeking funding to meet local investors. We have around 25 active investors and a membership twice that. We have loaned almost $700,000 to 10 local businesses. The best part is the excitement we feel becoming friends of business owners and really helping them move their businesses forward.
With two years of experience behind us, we are spreading the word to people who are ready to become active investors. Our experience has been that most businesses seek a minimum investment of $10,000 (occasionally $5000 or less) from each investor because they can only reasonably service a limited number of loans. A member does not need to invest or pay any other fee to join. Some are learning and getting ready.
We have been offering training to members and others to improve our ability to evaluate opportunities.
Next Wednesday, May 22 from 7-9 pm we are offering "Understanding Financial Statements-Beyond the Basics" given by one of our members, who is a CPA and experienced instructor. If you want to find out more about the content and location, contact me at email@example.com or through the transition website.
Lastly, you can find out about WIN and our events at our website www.whatcominvesting.org or from me. We would welcome your friends too if you know anyone who might be interested.
I have a friend looking for a financial advisor/investment service. She is pretty sophisticated about finance but is not able to use the internet. She needs assistance with transactions and reporting. She's thinking maybe a fee-based advisor. Also someone who would understand her concerns about US currency and stock market. Anybody got an idea for her? Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Does any of you know of a Financial Planner that is clued into Peak Oil and Transition that you can recommend? Thank you so much!
Don't forget to attend the next TW Quarterly potluck and membership meeting on Oct 21st at 2:30PM at the Cordata COOP. You can update the membership on any recent activity and invite new work group members.
I am with a local non-profit that teaches financial literacy through assets based community development.. we also bank with local credit unions and feel strongly about keeping our money local.
In 2011 the Transition Whatcom Personal Finance work group conducted a Move Your Money lobbying day and public event in April, and we brought to life the Whatcom Investing Network (http://whatcominvesting.org/).
We'd like to extend our Move Your Money campaign to local government and major nonprofit entities (i.e. City of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Whatcom Community Foundation, local religious institutions and nonprofits) and see if we can encourage these entities to "move our money" into local credit unions and banks.
We need more folks to join us if we hope to make a difference in this effort. If you'd like to help, please come to our next Personal Finance meeting: Sunday, February 12, 12:15—2:15 PM, Coop Connections building at the downtown Coop.
The WIN meeting for tonight has been cancelled and has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Jan 31. All the details remain the same.
The Jan 19 Whatcom Investing Network meeting is open to everyone. The event is posted here: http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/whatcom-investing-network-...
We are welcoming new members and business opportunities.
Of course I wrote it wrong. Laurel is the cross street on Mason.
The Personal Finance workgroup meeting is at the home of a member. Mason intersects with Ellis where it changes to Samish Way. Laurel is the cross street on Maple. 920 is on the left as you go toward the Arboretum.

Aeterna Zentaris: First Patient Treated for Phase 2 Trial with AEZS-108 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Feb 20, 2013, 07:30 EST
QUÉBEC CITY, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Aeterna Zentaris Inc. (NASDAQ :AEZS ) (TSX : AEZ) (the "Company") today announced that a first patient has been treated for the randomized Phase 2 trial in chemotherapy refractory triple-negative ("ER/PR/HER2-negative") luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone receptor ("LHRH-R")-positive metastatic breast cancer, with the Company's targeted doxorubicin peptide conjugate, AEZS-108. Alberto J. Montero, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, is the lead investigator of this trial which also include sites at the Universities of Regensburg and Goettingen, in Germany.
Juergen Engel, Ph.D., President and CEO of Aeterna Zentaris stated, "Patients with triple-negative breast cancer have poorer outcomes compared to other breast cancer subtypes and are in need of a safe and effective therapeutic regimen. Because LHRH receptors are expressed in a majority of triple-negative breast cancers, we believe AEZS-108 could represent a novel targeted treatment for these patients. Expansion into the breast cancer indication with AEZS-108 after positive Phase 2 results in endometrial and ovarian cancer, as well as positive interim Phase 1/2 results in prostate cancer, is further proof of the potential of this innovative compound in a variety of cancer indications for both women and men."
The Study
This is an open-label, randomized, two-arm, multicenter Phase 2 study which will involve up to 74 patients. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into one of the two treatment arms: AEZS-108 (267 mg/m2 every 21 days) [Arm A] or SSC (standard single agent cytotoxic chemotherapy [Arm B]) at the discretion of the treating oncologist.
The primary study endpoint is median time of progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints include overall response-rate, and overall survival. The study will also evaluate AEZS-108's toxicity profile and patients' quality of life relative to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy.
For more information on this trial, consult clinicaltrials.gov under NCT01698281.
About Breast Cancer and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in women after skin cancers. In 2012, an estimated 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed in women in the U.S., and about 39,510 of them were expected to die from this disease.
About 10% to 20% of breast cancers are triple-negative breast cancer ("TNBC"), a subtype of breast cancer that is clinically negative for expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors ("ER/PR") and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 ("HER2"). It is characterized by its unique molecular profile, aggressive behavior, distinct patterns of metastasis, and lack of targeted therapies. Chemotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment for women with TNBC, but this current standard-of-care is suboptimal. Despite best available therapy, TNBC continues to be associated with poorer outcomes when compared with other breast cancer subtypes.
About AEZS-108 (doxorubicin peptide conjugate)
AEZS-108 represents a new targeting concept in oncology using a hybrid molecule composed of a synthetic peptide carrier and a well-known chemotherapy agent, doxorubicin. AEZS-108 is the first intravenous drug in advanced clinical development that directs the chemotherapy agent specifically to Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone ("LHRH")-receptor expressing tumors, resulting in more targeted treatment with less damage to healthy tissue. The product has successfully completed Phase 2 studies for the treatment of ovarian and endometrial cancer and the Company is currently planning a Phase 3 trial in endometrial cancer under a Special Protocol Assessment. AEZS-108 is also in Phase 2 trials in prostate, breast and bladder cancer. AEZS-108 has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA and orphan medicinal product designation from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Aeterna Zentaris owns the worldwide rights to AEZS-108.

Red Hat 9.0
This is a truly great product by Red Hat, one of the leaders in the Linux community.
The improved graphical installer works flawlessly on most common desktop machines. There are not only several canned installations included, but there is also plenty of help to guide the newbie through the harder concepts of Linux installation.
Another notable improvement is the security aspect, which includes three options for a firewall configuration, making your online experience a lot safer. Hardware support was another improvement. This was mainly seen in the X configuration. Red Hat 7.1 includes XFree86-4.0.3-5, which makes DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure) setup a lot easier for gamers and others needing a 3D enabled X environment. It's exciting to see how much easier it has become to configure hardware during a default installation under Linux. This is untrue for Linux's main competitor OS, which still needs a vide driver loaded after rebooting 12 or more times.
I also found that the applications under Red Hat were quite current. Currency is a problem with some distributions. Updated software is a major concern for me, especially since I work and live on the Internet, and security is a must. Plus, Linux moves fast. Software is updated on a monthly, if not daily basis. If the software is not current, it's like taking a step back. Fortunately, Red Hat offers a big leap forward.
This release could be thought of as a recovery from all the problems that plagued Red Hat 7.0 (kernel compiling, Linus calling it "stupid"). In this version, Red Hat has done it's best to address the complaints of the users, and this could be the most stable, robust release of Red Hat yet.

New York's recent spate of glass skyscrapers vie with each other, rising to extraordinary heights. Nowhere is this truer than in Lower Manhattan, where Frank Gehry's Beekman Tower, shapely in folded glass, and One World Trade Center, prismatic and reflective, have set the newest records for altitude. But the Woolworth Building's enchanted Gothic spire, by day and by night, continues to command the attention of the viewer. Once the world's tallest building, the Woolworth is now eclipsed in height. Still, it remains an exceptional skyscraper, a stabilizing force amid the city's dynamic of restless change.

| I am 53 years old & a Mother of two. I have a beautiful daughter Alissa who is 23 and a handsome son Anthony who is 19. I was born & raised in the Mid-west & still currently around the same area. My Maxformation Journey started in September '09. I was depressed, had aches & pains in places I never thought were possible & high blood pressure. I was getting ready to turn 45 in September & I have always thought as age just being a number but I felt like I was 60. I found myself tipping the scale at 193.5 & my body fat % was 36.5. This was the heaviest that I have ever been except when I was pregnant with my daughter. I knew this was not a good thing because I had already had heart surgery at the young age of 40. I knew it was time make the change and stop feeling sorry myself or die. So, September 19, '09 was the day I got a second chance of life & I never looked back. I am proud to say that I am still living the dream. On September 19, 2014 will mark my 5 year anniversary to a better and healthy lifestyle change & I also will be 50!! I also had something else to celebrate this year. After being out of work for over a year during my transformation I now have two part time jobs doing what I love. In March 2011 I got a job at a fitness center and hope to start working on my personal trainer's certification next year. Then in May 2011 I started working at QC Max Muscle and received my certification as a Fitness Nutrition Coach. I have to tell you it is an amazing feeling doing something that I love by helping others through my own experience!

Today's Meditation
Read Matthew 7:7-11
Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.
Matthew 7:7 (NRSV)
I am 10 years old and will be starting school again tomorrow. In Sunday school, I've learned that God has a special plan for me and that God will guide all of us and will help us reach our goals. God has given me good teachers who teach me and caring parents who support me. I know that I don't have to worry about school.
I've known all along that I need to work hard. Praying about my schoolwork also helps me. Near the end of last year, I realized that I need to trust God to help me; I need to picture myself succeeding and to anticipate that I'll do well. Jesus tells us, "Ask, and it will be given to you." I believe that God will answer our prayers if what we ask is good for us. I did better than ever in school at the end of last year. School became more fun and less stressful.
By trusting in God, we can believe that good things will happen in the future and then watch them become real. I look forward to this school year as a chance to learn and grow alongside my friends and with help from good teachers, my parents, and God.
Will Buxton (California)
Thought for the Day: Pray by name for children in your church as the new school year approaches.
Prayer: Thank you, God, for always helping us, especially when our lives are stressful. Please help us to trust you always. Amen.

Plans for a new campus building at 20 Somerset St. include new general-use and science classrooms, a light-filled cafeteria space that can be adapted for University functions, and indoor and outdoor lounging areas.
President James McCarthy presented the preliminary building design during a town-hall-style meeting at the C. Walsh Theatre.
Projected to open in 2015
"If all goes according to plan, the new building will open in late summer 2015," said McCarthy.
While the size of the building was fixed by agreement with the Boston Redevelopment Authority some years back, the specifics of how the space will be allocated are now being finalized, with input being sought from faculty who will teach there.
Community organizations have written letters of support for the plan, which goes before the BRA on Feb. 14. In accordance with the University's master plan, classrooms now housed in buildings adjacent to Beacon Hill residential areas will move to 20 Somerset St.
As a result, the University will refit the Donahue and Archer buildings for office space, and it will sell Fenton, the Fenton Annex and the Ridgeway building. The University will retain a gymnasium; either by finding a new space or leasing back the existing Regan Gymnasium in the Ridgeway basement.
The sleek new building plan encompasses 112,000 square feet in 10 floors, two of them partially or fully below grade. There will be four floors each of general and science classrooms of various sizes, providing 1,100 classroom seats. A floor in the middle of the building will be dedicated to student support services, including computer labs and the Ballotti Learning Center.
The plan also aims to provide a space for larger campus activities.
"The Function Room in the Law School is the most popular room on campus, and it's heavily booked," said McCarthy. "We asked the architect to design the café so that it can be used as a function room when not in use as a dining hall."
Landscaped meeting area
The building will be surrounded by open space, with the state-owned Roemer Plaza on one side and the Garden of Peace on the other. The entry will open out onto Roemer Plaza, which will be landscaped to provide an inviting area for students to gather and a natural transition to the Sawyer Building.
The University, as is its practice, is ensuring that 20 Somerset St. is designed to meet high standards for green design and sustainability and will seek LEED Silver certification for the building.

There are different ways you can monetize your website, as selling ad spots or offering your products or services.
One of the most lucrative ways to make money with your blog is definitely sponsored posts.
In this post I am going to give you some tips to generate income with sponsored reviews and suggest you three interesting resources I use with success.
What is a Sponsored Post?
Sponsored posts (or sponsored reviews) are articles commissioned by third parties (typically advertisers, or agencies), where you write about specific products or services.
Normally you get in touch with the potential advertisers asking to write the review or you are contacted directly by them.
There are pros and cons of sponsored posts, but if you put yourself in the shoes of your readers, you will end up having just advantages.
Like everything in life, just use a little of common sense.
Tips to Make Money with Sponsored Posts
First, you want to have a nice layout and professional design (I use Genesis Framework personalized theme here).
Make sure to have an original and unique logo and your blog sidebar filled with important things like subscription box or social accounts.
After this, you want to set up an advertising page, where you explain to potential advertisers your blog statistics. You want to showcase the best of your website, so be sure to write your strong points, like for example monthly impressions and visits, social numbers or the number of your newsletter subscribers.
Now, there are different networks you can use to create a profile and be found by advertisers (and I am going to suggest you three websites I use to make money with sponsored posts).
But if you want to try finding advertisers yourself, you may want to read an articles I've written recently:
How to Find Advertisers for Your Blog – 7 Tips to Make Money Online
But how much should you charge for a sponsored post?
Recently I've read an interesting article written by Sue Anne, at SuccessfulBlogging.com. She has created a nice graphic I share with you here:
As you can see, the metrics used are unique visits per month and PageRank.
John Mueller recently explained in a Google Webmaster Help thread that Google "have no plans to do further updates" around PageRank. He also suggested to webmasters to stop using "PageRank" as a metric around their web sites.
Now, advertisers should pay more attention to other metrics like domain and blogger authority, for example.
But still, the graphic created by Sue Anne may help you decide the price you are going to ask for your sponsored posts.
Also, you want to set a maximum number per month, as you don't want to upset your readers with too many sponsored reviews.
When you get new offers, always ask yourself :
Will this sponsored post help my audience?
Will this product or service be useful for my blog readers?
If the answer is yes, then go ahead.
Finally, be sure to add the "nofollow" tag to the advertiser links in your posts, as suggested by Google.
Matt Cutts said:
"Not all paid links violate our guidelines. Buying and selling links is a normal part of the economy of the web when done for advertising purposes, and not for manipulation of search results. Links purchased for advertising should be designated as such. This can be done in several ways, such as:
- Adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a> tag
- Redirecting the links to an intermediate page that is blocked from search engines with a robots.txt file"
As promised, here below I share 3 sites I use to make money with sponsored posts on my blog.
I'm sure many of you already know or use this site to find advertisers for sponsored posts.
I find out that opportunities offered in their marketplace are normally low, with fees going from $9 to $15 per post.
I've used this site once, with a direct booking from an advertiser, for 150$.
SponsoredReviews takes 50% from the total paid from advertiser.
Yes, that's pretty a high percentage.
But still, a good place to find work.
You can browse among opportunities in their marketplace or just add your blogs, and wait for direct bookings.
If you haven't done it yet, sign up to SponsoredReviews here.
LinkVehicle.com (Now ValuedVoice.com)
That's another popular website used for getting affiliate marketing opportunities or sponsored posts.
There are many affiliate offers you can use, if relevant to your blog niche. You will get paid per actions taken from your readers.
Or, you can add your sites in their marketplace, and wait for sponsored post opportunities.
I used this platform once in one of my niche blogs.
Same as SponsoredReviews, also LinkVehicle cuts 50% off your earnings.
If you want to sign up, you can do it here (it was rebranded to ValuedVoice, recently).
No, it's not a typing mistake.
That's the title of the site.
A couple of months ago, BuySellAds announced the creation of their new platform : /syndicate.net
You can use it to monetize your newsletter or to find opportunities for sponsored posts.
Here's my profile there:
If you want to be part of this awesome new project, you can apply here.
I have already worked with /syndicate and it has been a great pleasure.
The process is straightforward and you will be assigned a personal assistant which is going to guide through the completion of the sponsored post.
Plus, the rate you get is really honest (they just take 30%).
I'm sure you are already making money with sponsored posts at your blog.
If not, I hope this small guide will help you start with this monetization method.
Just be sure to consider your readers as the priority and do not oversell your blog.
Good luck!
What do you think?
Do you have some other resources to add?
Please share your knowledge and experience in the comments below, thanks!

Let's take a break from the political mud-slinging and negative rhetoric and give thanks for some of the people and organizations that we are fortunate to have here in Lancaster:
◆ Lindsay Pettus – Not enough room here to cover all the great things Lindsay has done for the community. Love his work with the Katawba Valley Land Trust, which preserves our precious natural resources and allows all citizens to enjoy them.
Four points to address in Hillary Clinton's debt-free education plan.
Before I state anything I would like to point out that this debt-free plan appears to only cover tuition costs. Here are direct quotes from her plan found at Hillary.com, followed by my own translation of her comments.
1. "She will make a major investment in HBCUs, Minority-Serving Institutions and other low-cost, modest-endowment private schools so that these deserving students also benefit from the lower cost of college."
This is the third column on The New South Carolina – about the demographic, economic and political changes that are transforming our state.
In sports, the Gamecocks wear garnet and black. Clemson wears orange and purple. In politics, South Carolina is red and deep red.
These are known as "self-evident truths." Things that just are.
While the garnet and orange will probably last until the Second Coming, the red in South Carolina politics is changing – and changing faster than most folks think.
It's hard to believe it's been less than two years since Jay Lucas was elected House speaker. (He took over as acting speaker when then-Speaker Bobby Harrell was indicted, 25 months ago.)
If the black community is fighting for black lives, as Malik Mackey writes in your Sept. 23 edition, then where are the mass protests in Chicago, where so many black lives are being taken? I don't see any regular protests there.
Instead, the protests are taking place where black men are getting shot by police. What percentage of black homicides are committed by police? Not anywhere close to the 90 to 95 percent of homicides committed by other black men.
Any unjust shooting by police is unwarranted, but this has been blown way out of proportion.
This the second of a three-part series on how demographic, economic and political trends are rapidly changing South Carolina.
I'm convinced that a New South Carolina is being born, very different from our traditional past. It holds great promise for us and our children for generations to come, if we're smart enough and bold enough to seize this opportunity. And that's a big if.
Iam just as disgusted as most Americans when I consider our choices for president.
Hillary Clinton promises more of the same. If elected, she will continue the same liberal agenda as President Obama. She will continue to grow the national debt. She will continue to murder innocent unborns. She will appoint far-left Supreme Court justices. She will expand the entitlement society. She will undermine the family by legitimizing same-sex marriage.
Long ago, there was a famous tale of a magical spring called the Fountain of Youth, which bestowed youthful energy on those who sipped or bathed in its water. Accounts go back to the fifth century BC, but the legend gained popularity in the 16th century with the journeys of Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon.
As it turns out, the fountain of youth is actually not a myth. In fact, we all have access to this energy right here in our own community: it is found in our young adults.
Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament? This seems to be a premise of William St. Louis' Oct. 5 column, "My take on God, guns and Trump."
Mandy Catoe's Sept. 30 feature story "Gladys Cox steps aside after 65 years as organist at Unity ARP" was delightful.
Such a heartwarming story of a remarkable "musical and religiously faithful family" is so welcomed amid the often destructive and discouraging news we receive in today's world.

yeah, but then again every thing in you experience and know is a man made thought you create in order to conceive the world. i don't take the idea of heaven and hell quite so literally, but i think it does extend beyond the church trying to control the masses. if that's all you see it as then you'll never take any value out of learning about religion. and i assure you there is value in studying religion, even if you don't believe it.

Intentionally or not, traces of our personalities are scattered in our trails, following our movements wherever we go. The contents of our bags, the marks on the pages of our notebooks, the data in our digital cloud all paint a portrait of who we are: to ourselves as well as to those who don't know us yet.
When a notebook becomes ours, it takes on our memory, identity, creativity, ambition. A mere shopping list can say as much about who we are as a sketch, new idea or piece of writing can. Notes, hacks, paintings, itineraries: collecting our stories, our notebooks become an extension of ourselves, a tool for self-expression.
In just the same way a bag can also absorb our identities. Always accompanying us wherever we go, full of our most precious items, it is a container for the cloud of objects that defines us and our needs. They carry the tools we need to travel, create and communicate, all the while breathing with our personalities, thoughts and actions.
The thickness of a used notebook, the fullness of a packed bag help us show who we are. What do your objects say about you? Share your things online on myMoleskine or your preferred social network using the tag #myanalogcloud.
The way our things express our personalities is the subject of a talk presented at The Economist Group's Big Rethink 2013 by Maria Sebregondi, VP of Brand Equity and Communications at Moleskine. A special edition Moleskine notebook was created to mark the event.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
First I have to gush a little about the PASS Summit. Skip ahead if you like - this type of stuff doesn't make for the best reading, and I won't be offended. The Summit was amazing as ever this year. The thing I love about it, in addition to just the wonderful, supportive atmosphere, is that most of the people involved are real professionals doing real work, on the ground, with the Microsoft SQL Server stack. There's some marketing spin, of course, but it's tempered. You're as likely to hear someone say "that doesn't work" or "that's still vaporware" as "this is the marketecture/kool-aid/pitch/roadmap for all things SQL Server." I loved the content and the chance to meet old friends and new from the Intertubez.
I generally use the Summit as a chance to pick my head up out of the day-to-day details and pressures of work, and try to look ahead. I went to an advanced driving course here in Seattle at Pacific Raceways a few weeks ago (thank you Kimberly for giving me a push to do that!) and one of the primary exercises they drilled into us students was to look ahead. Look ahead, through the curve, anticipate what's coming, because at 120 it'll be here in a second and you'd better be ready.
The second concept was that you drive a car fast with smooth, fluid motions. You don't jerk the wheel or jam the brakes; twitchy is fundamentally bad. The way to be fast has everything to do with planning ahead, choosing a line, then executing with the minimum inputs. Don Kitch, the lead instructor said, "lots of people want to see me drive their fancy cars on the track: the key to that is, watch what I don't do with the car." What he meant was, it shouldn't be flashy or exciting to watch him toss the car around. That would be missing the point. I think the same is true, if perhaps at a slower pace, for a DBA. Anticipate what's coming, steer your organization and your systems with a minimum of drama. Do it quickly. Make it look easy.
So, what's coming up around the next turn? I think the last couple of years of PASS Summit give us some clues.
The first is that all of us are going to need to lean on each other in the SQL Server community. The pace of change and the growth of the SQL Server family of products is astounding. More and more we'll all be under pressure at work to know, or at least know about, the whole stack, and that will become less and less possible. That leads me to what I call "Peep Consulting:" lately, through social media, online contacts and training opportunities I've been able to come out of my shell a bit and tap into the community, to real benefit for my work and for my company. Peep Consulting is a way that a bunch of us in the community can collaborate, informally, to make each other look good, and collectively stay ahead of the massive explosion in all the SQL Server products. It's not about long engagements or big projects, necessarily, it's more the #sqlhelp tip, or the hallway conversation, or the email list that can steer you in the right direction, from people with more experience in some specific area of the products. People who aren't doing this type of networking will be at a great disadvantage in the coming years, I think, as the development of the products accelerates.
This notion is a bit hard to express, but the trend I see looks like this: the environments we work in, especially where I am in the small/medium business arena, are going to become ever more sprawly. The multiplication of apps and VM's (Windows is practically the new App, as people spin up a new VM for just about every single service or application) will cause a multiplication of virtual servers, instances and databases. At the same time, the tools for administering that sprawl should improve, so it won't be quite as daunting as it was two or three years ago. I think we'll find we are faced with a much more complicated, more heterogeneous environment, with more different products, from the relational engine to SharePoint/PowerPivot and everything else. But we'll also gain tools to grapple with that more effectively. Sadly, the idea that we'll ever have a single data source for a small business – one database to store the company's data in a consistent schema -- seems truly dead. It would be useful, but it doesn't seem possible. In fact we are headed the other direction, rapidly.
Second, I think the hybrid of cloud services like Azure, infrastructure as a service, and so on, will certainly change the landscape of small and medium business. In a few years a small company that has it's own servers in it's own data center or server closet may be a real anachronism. Smart companies will get out of the business of buying servers and electricity, diesel fuel and air conditioning, and will leave that to larger commercial data center operations. Ironically, though, that will increase the trend above, where things get even more complicated to plan and operate. The types of decisions will be different (more about software architecture and less about wiring) but no less complex. Instead of the care and feeding of a cold room full of machinery, we will face the care and feeding of an unbelievably complicated collection of cloud services and data, with real integration challenges.
On the slow and fast front, we should see a continuation of what has happened to this point: software gets ever slower and more complicated, and hardware gets faster just fast enough that nobody cares much. We will continue to burden our servers with layer on layer of additional complexity – I'm looking at you, VMs – because it's expedient, and because there's no economic advantage to combatting that trend by making more efficient software. It's always more economical, it seems, to work around a complex problem with a new layer, than to solve the problem. Allan Hirt had 12 VM's running simultaneously, with simulated shared storage, on a laptop in his precon. Q.E.D.
The combination of those trends I think means that as a work-a-day DBA, on the ground, things will pivot in the next couple of years. Classic problems like backup strategy, DR, indexing strategy, query performance and setup of complicated machinery like failover clusters will probably become commoditized. The software is just making that stuff easier with each release, and eventually it's not going to be such a specialty skill. There will still be the need for some high-end tuning of large, high performance systems, but the bulk of stuff out there should just work without quite so much effort. When a $10k server has a TB of RAM and PCI flash storage on board, and DMV's mature to render visible all the cryptic performance issues of the past, it just gets easier to run a small system.
On the other hand, the strategic decisions about where to place a company's data, how to navigate the complexity of a blended system of on-premises data and cloud services or IaaS, which of the multiplying platforms make sense – from Hadoop to SQL Server to DAX or SSAS or PowerPivot – to keep a company agile, these decisions will become the things that are most valuable in small or medium businesses. All businesses will want to move in an agile way as they or their customers demand taking advantage of the multiplying new services out there. Most businesses I imagine will also want out of the datacenter management field as quickly as is practical, and will not want to own hundreds or thousands of servers any longer. More capability, less equipment.
This is where the SMB IT staff or DBA will differentiate him or herself – I think if we just keep our heads down, tuning query plans, that we'll miss what's about to happen. If, instead, we can look strategically ahead, and guide organizations into opportunities for increase capability and lower cost, we'll stay relevant, and also have more fun.
But then, who really can predict the future?

Hey there Merrill - I wish I had known... I might have tried to make it to the track. I just love Don (and his wife Donna too). Don's a wonderful teacher and their driving courses are absolutely fantastic. Since you've been through the course, you can continue lapping - which is great for concentration and distraction. What I mean is that you HAVE to focus. You HAVE to step away from EVERYTHING else in the world and focus on nothing but driving (if you daydream at 120+ on the track - it might not end up so well for you). I find that it really helps to clear my head and get me back in the game. (I wish I had more time to lap!!!)
Which is yet another thing I'd add for people that really want to become experts in SQL Server. I love the community, I love all of the peeps (for sure!!) and there's nothing better than a quick twitter post to help get someone started in the right direction. Then, a blog post or two and you're on your way. But, there are also times when I need to step away and dive deep into one thing of SQL (and beat it senseless until I really know ALL angles of how it works). Then, I can truly master it!
GREAT POST Merrill!
Isn't the shape of the future the shapeless cloud?
Awesome post, Merrill!
It is difficult to know the future, but I believe you will revisit this post in coming years and see much wisdom here - way back in 2011. For too many of us, "change" is a six-letter word. Change is the thing behind the 2:00 AM phone call, the reason the servers no longer perform, the problem. There are good reasons to think like that - it is completely understandable.
But change is upon us. This time it's not the preventable change that we can circumvent using Change Prevention er, I mean, Change Management in our enterprise. Now it saves *so much* money and effort that it is compelling; so compelling it will overcome efforts to resist it.
With the changes will come new opportunities for data professionals. Buck Woody has been preaching this for years... Buck, I think I finally understand.
Again, great post sir!
Great, great post. You've put structure around this feeling of coming change I've had since attending PASS Summit. Three thoughts...
First, it was awesome to meet you in person. Peep Consulting! I love it. I'm borrowing the phrase.
Second, if you love racing, check out this book by Garth Stein. Racing in the Rain: My Life as a Dog. Great driving metaphors on life. http://www.amazon.com/Art-Racing-Rain-Novel/dp/0061537969/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319035753&sr=8-1
Third, I want everyone who reads this to put a note on their calendar to come back to this post in 5 years. I think we'll all be amazed at how close you came to our new reality. You've given me a lot to think about. Thanks!
Thanks, guys. I have tremendous admiration for all of you.
@Kimberly, yes, yes, and yes. Exactly.
@Linchi, that's the marketecture talking :-). They wish it could be formless. In fact it will be insanely complicated.
@Andy I agree that Buck is dead on with what he's been telling us (though he's pretty well married to MS Azure specifically - ask him about his Mac some time). I love his talks. Often it's like peeking into the future.
@Audrey, funny story about that book: the author has a history with Don and Proformance (as does the dog). I bought the book right from the school the day of my driving course, and I am very much looking forward to reading it. The title is from a paper that Don wrote some years ago, literally about racing in the rain. And it rained the whole day of my class, which turned out to be great - learning to drive at speed in the wet is a great lesson.
The future... always tough to see that coming at you with head down and a focas on the task at hand. The future is in the cloud, that's if they don't price it in the cloud.... the biggest detrement to progress in tech is too soon the greed. Anyway nice post.

Remember the theme song for the popular 1980s TV sitcom "Cheers"? You know, the one that expressed a desire to go "where everybody knows your name."
Remember the theme song for the popular 1980s TV sitcom "Cheers"? You know, the one that expressed a desire to go "where everybody knows your name."
Perhaps no place in Spartanburg better exemplifies that sentiment than the Nu-Way Restaurant and Lounge.
The venerable eating and drinking establishment is somewhat of a local institution, a place where a wide cross-section of the community routinely gathers for good times and top-notch entertainment.
Originally opened in 1938, the Nu-Way will celebrate its 75th anniversary this weekend with a series of fun activities, including music and a raffle.
Seventy-five years is a long time for any business to last, but what makes the Nu-Way particularly special is that it has operated in the same building at 373 E. Kennedy St. since the beginning and is known as Spartanburg's oldest continuously running restaurant and bar.
"It hasn't really changed that much, and you just feel comfortable going in there," said Becky Myers, who has owned the Nu-Way since 2005 and has worked there since the late 1990s. "It gives you a sense of security to see that same old wood paneling that's been up there for 75 years."
In a rapidly changing world, a visit to the Nu-Way can often seem like a step back in time. The no-frills ambiance, coupled with a fiercely loyal customer base, gives the restaurant and lounge a relaxed neighborhood feel.
"One of the great things about the Nu-Way is that it has always played toward the locals and the people of Spartanburg," Myers said. "We have a great staff and regulars who have kept us going for so long. I think everybody has a Nu-Way story."
Music for the 75th anniversary celebration will be provided by Rev. Syd & the Homewreckers on Friday and the Shane Pruitt Band on Saturday.
"Shane's been playing the Nu-Way for as long as I can remember, so I wanted him and those guys to be part of the celebration," Myers said. "And Sydney McMath (Rev. Syd) is a great friend of mine who I just love to hear sing."
Starting today, the Nu-Way will begin distributing tickets for a raffle in which proceeds will benefit the Spartanburg Humane Society. Tickets can be purchased for $5 or obtained for free with a donation of an item from the Humane Society's "wish list," which includes non-clumping cat litter, dog and cat food and other basic animal necessities.
Myers said that local businesses and individuals have donated several prize items, which range from gift certificates to an original painting of the Nu-Way.
Raffle winners will be announced at 7 p.m. Saturday at an event hosted by "Bootleg Bill" and "Moonshiner Josh" of the Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners" series fame.
The Nu-Way will also introduce four new sandwiches this weekend: the Bullseye Burger, the Redneck Philly, the Trailer Park Melt and the White Trash Burger.
And, while supplies last, the Nu-Way will offer 75-cent hot dogs and 75-cent draft beers.
"Back when (the Nu-Way) first opened in 1938, that's all you could get there — beer and hot dogs," Myers said. "So, we're paying a little homage to the guys who started it."
Myers is encouraging all former Nu-Way employees to stop by Saturday.
"We're going to have a banner for everybody who has ever worked at the Nu-Way to sign," Myers said. "There are so many people who have worked here who have contributed to it still being around, and I'd love to meet as many of them as possible."

Man charged with shaking baby, threatening woman who took infant to police
By Doug Alden
New Hampshire Union Leader
CONCORD - A Grafton County man has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend's 3-month-old daughter and threatening to kill a woman who took the baby to police.
Joshua Hutchins, 22, of Thornton, was arraigned Friday in Concord District Court on charges of second-degree assault, criminal threatening, endangering the welfare of a child and one count of simple assault.
Concord Police Sgt. Timothy O'Malley said a witness reported seeing Hutchins violently shake the baby on Wednesday in Penacook. The woman then took the baby to Concord police and along the way said she received a call from Hutchins, who threatened to stab her. Police said Hutchins called the witness again, this time threatening to grab the baby and kill the woman.
O'Malley said the witness was not the baby's mother, whom officers learned had been assaulted by Hutchins on Tuesday.
The baby was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and was still being evaluated on Friday, O'Malley said.
Hutchins was being held $30,000 cash-only bail and ordered not to have any contact with the baby, her mother or any witnesses.

Go for your own ideas. Think on how you want your personal space to look like. Add a compact lampshade near your bed. A plain bed sheet and a printed lampshade would also look elegant. Add night lamps which are wall mount to save space in your bedroom. Go for artistic photo frames or art prints, affixed to the walls near the bed. Your fascinating teen boy bedding sets should show your personality therefore go with something new and creative. Go for consistent designing. Don`t overdo things. Simplicity would add to the look of the room.
A bedroom space is all about you and your life partner. Design a fascinating teen boy bedding sets space along with your life partner. Significant remodelling chances are where less. Therefore keep on experimenting with new and popular trends. Consult interior designers before making any changes in the designs. They are professionals who can advice you the best. Your own ideas and thoughts along with the skills of designers can make wonders for your home.
A beautiful centre table or a piece of art can make the fascinating teen boy bedding sets look attractive. You can keep a piece of art on the table. Add a rug at the centre of the room or next to the bed. Match up it with other accessories in the room. Keep size of the rug limited to the size of the room.

Use modular and simple furniture to make the bedroom spacious. Use vibrant flower vases and beautiful flowers placed in it, to create an aromatic environment. Go for aromatic candles in the room.
Figuring out the furniture layout is the most important decision. Your space can easily get cramped with clothes, bedding`s and furniture.

Add a fireplace or a coffee or wet bar to the room. This would help you mostly in winters.

All of our jewellery comes beautifully gift wrapped in tissue and a linen gift bag or a little personalised gift box.
This makes our jewellery the perfect gift for giving.
Wish a necklace came with a different style or length of chain?
Like a design but would love it if it featured a different gemstone?
Since all of our jewellery is handmade to order we are happy to adapt a design to better suit your personal tastes, or if you are looking for something truly unique why not enquire about commissioning an entirely bespoke piece?
We work with the highest quality gemstones and precious metals, including sterling silver and 9ct gold, and are happy to work with any design ideas or budgets you might have to make you your perfect piece of jewellery.
Over time all sterling silver (including hallmarked silver) will oxidise. This is nothing to worry about, it just gives the jewellery a darkened, coppery appearance instead of a bright silver shine. It is a completely natural process and is normally polished off after a gentle wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then a polish with a silver polishing cloth.
Alternatively for super shiny silver add 1 tsp of both salt and bicarb to hot water in a bowl before placing a piece of aluminium foil in the bottom. Place the jewellery on top of the foil for a few minutes until the tarnish is lifted then finish with a quick rinse in clean water and polish with a soft cloth (this method is not suitable for deliberately distressed pieces though!)
We are able to hallmark our jewellery designs with our own makers mark as well as date, purity and assay office marks too. This gives you peace of mind that anything you buy from us has been independently quality tested and guaranteed as genuine sterling silver, gold or platinum by the assay office.
By law all platinum articles weighing over 0.5 gram, gold and palladium over 1 gram and silver over 7.78 grams must be hallmarked, it is illegal to describe or sell them as being made from precious metals otherwise. Anything below these weights does not need to be hallmarked. We would love to hallmark all our jewellery but this costs more for us to do so we only tend to hallmark our more valuable designs or those that are over weight limits.

New MacArthur 'Genius' Award: A Pay Raise
This Year's Crop of Fellows—Including Scientists and Artists—to Get $625,000
The value of a being a genius just went up.
This year's crop of MacArthur Fellows—including a neuroscientist working to restore vision in blind people, a pianist modernizing classical music and a physicist preserving rare sounds—will receive $625,000 over the next five years, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation said Wednesday.
The 2013 MacArthur 'Genius Grant' Winners
Read about the recipients.
That's a bump up from the $500,000 for previous recipients of the annual recognition of creativity, commonly called "genius grants." The foundation, which doesn't support the nickname, uses an anonymous review process to select each year's batch of winners and maintains a "no-strings-attached" policy to allow fellows to pursue their passions. This year marks the first stipend increase since 2000.
"Winning this—it's not just for me. It allows me to help blind people," said Sheila Nirenberg, a neuroscientist at Cornell University who has developed a prosthetic device to translate images into meaningful electrical pulses and transmit them into the brains of blind mice, allowing them to see.
Ms. Nirenberg, who plans to use the funding for further research, hopes to apply her findings to humans with retinal degenerative diseases, such as macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, which affect about 10 million people in the U.S. "This is a huge pay-it-forward thing," she said.
Other winners include Carrie Mae Weems, a photographer and video artist; Phil Baran, an organic chemist and inventor; and Alexei Ratmansky, a choreographer with the American Ballet Theatre.
Since the fellowship began in 1981, nearly 900 people have won the award. This year's class of 24 individuals ranges in age from 32 to 60 and spans a variety of subjects, such as immigration law for military families, the use of brain functions in behavioral economics and the choreography of postmodern dance.
"I had to immediately walk outside because I was thinking, 'The ceiling is too low for this feeling,' " said Karen Russell, author of "Swamplandia!", a novel about alligator wrestlers in the Everglades, referring to the foundation's phone call a few weeks ago to notify her that she had won this year.
This August, the foundation released results from a survey of fellows and the broader public that underscored the benefits of the program. Most fellows—88%—reported increased opportunity to express creativity and advancement toward personal goals, while 24% of the public said the awards caused them "to pause and consider their [own] work and contributions to society."
Yet 8% of fellows also reported negative impact on their personal activities or time with family. The instant notoriety of the MacArthur awards can be jolting to some winners, especially those like Marla Spivak, an entomologist studying bees at the University of Minnesota and MacArthur winner in 2010.
"Being on a big stage felt a little bit like the 'Ed Sullivan Show'," Ms. Spivak said. "But I'm glad to have the opportunity to do something to help bees." She has used the funding to start a "Bee Squad" program to teach bee education in the community and to fund more research.
Cecilia Conrad, vice president of the MacArthur Fellows Program, said the foundation is brainstorming ideas on new programs, such as pairing alumni with new fellows, to support winners as they make the transition to their newfound fame.
"The program has a philosophy that when you have identified people who have shown not only creativity but persistence and strong work ethic…you actually can have more impact by giving them autonomy and trust," she said. "People take that trust and view it as something sacred that they need to work with."
Kyle Abraham, a choreographer and dancer and 2013 fellow, says the award will allow him to pay off student loans and help facilitate health-care coverage for members of his dance company. "A lot of constant worries that I've had will be alleviated," he said.
For Jeremy Denk, a classical pianist and writer, the award will offer the bandwidth to practice more and to brainstorm on larger music projects.
"It feels like a little bit of a responsibility," said the 2013 fellow. "I'm asking myself, 'How can I best broaden the reach of what I do to impact the most people?' "
