For the record, the Bruins held a semi-optional practice on Monday, then left for Washington. They face the Capitals, who bounced them from the playoffs last spring, for the first time this season on Tuesday night (7:05, NESN, WBZ-FM 98.5).
Hardy anyone was interested in talking about the Capitals on Monday, though. Incidents surrounding Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens -- specifically Bruins captain Zdeno Chara's attack of Montreal defenseman Alexei Emelin, who had cross-checked Tyler Seguin hard enough to break his stick on Seguin's side, plus coach Claude Julien's post-game complaints about embellishment -- were the dominant conversation topics.
Highlights from Julien's day-after address:
- On his anti-embellishment stance:
"I didn't question (the Canadiens') character, because they play hard, and they're a good team. The only thing I talked about was the embellishment, and it wasn't just directed at them. It was directed at what we're trying to clean up in the league.
"There's times when certain things frustrate you, and I thought after the game, the embellishment is something that, to me, embarrasses the game. I have a strong opinion on certain things, and I stick by it. We're a professional league here. Basketball has been through it, and they've kind of cleaned that up. I'm hoping we're going to do the same thing with hockey."
- On Chara's decision to go after Emelin:
"What Zdeno Chara did yesterday, I support 100 percent. Besides that 17 minutes in penalties he got (2 for instigating, 5 for fighting, 10-minute misconduct), what he did is going to go a long way for our hockey club, and especially for Tyler Seguin. Tyler's a good player, and he needs to know that everybody's got his back. Zdeno showed that yesterday, and that'll allow Tyler to become a better player. When you know people have your back, you can play at ease. Just that thing Zdeno did yesterday is certainly going to help Tyler be comfortable.
"We're a team. We win together, we lose together. We've taken that approach that we're going to stick up for each other."
- On the Bruins' having the fewest power-play opportunities (61, in 19 games) in the NHL -- 18 less than their opponents:
"We have a reputation, and we have to live with it. We're a big team, we're a physical team. Sometimes it plays in your favor, and sometimes it plays against you. The one thing we're not going to do is change."
Left wing Milan Lucic, who has been assessed four minor penalties plus one major (he fought Montreal's Brandon Prust on Sunday), also weighed in.
Lucic on Chara's actions:
"It's definitely great when your leader, your captain, is willing to stick up for your teammates. He prides himself on that. It's definitely positive when your captain is willing to step up and do something like that.
" When a guy cross-checks one of your best players, and breaks his stick over him, it's good to see that someone is willing to respond like that and defend our teammates. I think that's what makes this a special group."
On embellishment throughout the NHL:
"You definitely would like to see a lot less embellishment. I know the way we are as a team, how we play and the type of people we are, we don't really accept that type of play here in this room. We don't like our guys diving; we don't like our guys embellishing and stuff like that.
"You definitely don't like to see it around the league, and hopefully the right calls are made, and hopefully guys will take pride in not taking being that type of guy, that type player."
And, to get back to the hockey-only side:
-- Practice was run by Julien's assistants. Most players on Boston's top two lines weren't on the ice, and neither was No. 1 goalie Tuukka Rask. A couple of defensemen had the morning off, too.
Those who skated:
Forwards: Lucic, third-liners Daniel Paille, Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley, fourth-liners Jay Pandolfo, Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton, spares Chris Bourque and Lane MacDermid.
Defensemen: Chara, Johnny Boychuk, Dougie Hamilton, Adam McQuaid and (spare) Aaron Johnson.
Goalie: Anton Khudobin
The Brad Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Seguin line, linemates David Krejci and Nathan Horton, and defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Andrew Ference stayed off skates, along with Rask.
-- Patrice Bergeron was named the NHL's Second Star for the week ending Sunday. Bergeron went 2-5--7 over four games, with points in all of them. He now leads the B's this season in points (18), assists (13) and plus-minus (plus-15; tied with Seguin).
Mike Loftus has covered the Bruins for longer than he can remember. He uses his blog to keep tabs on them, but he also likes to get outside the Garden to cover other hockey stories. "One of the coolest things about covering hockey in this area is the number of players who take the game past the high school/prep level," he says, "many in the hopes of one day reaching the pro level."

Contributing to poverty reduction and development
Biodiversity is crucial to the reduction of poverty, due to the basic goods and ecosystem services it provides. They include the provision of food, fiber and medicine, soil formation, air quality and climate regulation, the regulation of water supply and quality and the cultural and aesthetic value of certain plants and species.
Biodiversity is also integral to key development sectors such as agriculture and livestock, forestry, and fishing or tourism. More than 1.3 billion people depend on biodiversity and on basic ecosystems goods and services for their livelihoods (availability of usable land, water, plant and animal species).
For millennia, mankind's use of biodiversity and ecosystem services has contributed to human well being and economic development.
The aims of development do not stop at poverty reduction; environmental sustainability is also a fundamental development objective. Biodiversity and development are closely linked: biodiversity sustains development, and development has an impact on biodiversity, either positive or negative. Although biodiversity does not contribute directly to all sectors of development, sustainable development cannot be achieved if biodiversity is compromised by development efforts.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) fully integrate the 2010 Biodiversity Target set in 2002 by the Convention on Biological Diversity to achieve, by 2010, a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss. Even if goal 7 is most specifically focused on biodiversity related issues, biodiversity is important to the achievement of all eight MDG goals, and is essential to the fulfillment of this international commitment by the year 2015.
Since the poor are particularly dependent on the goods and services supplied by biodiversity, development strategies that ignore their protection undermine poverty alleviation and are therefore counterproductive. For this reason, it is crucial for development and poverty alleviation strategies and programs to prioritize biodiversity.
Biodiversity for Development at the Secretariat
Following the
"Message from Paris" (PDF)
, adopted by the Conference on Biodiversity in European Development Cooperation held in Paris in November 2006, calling for the support of biodiversity mainstreaming in partner countries and the improvement of governance for both poverty reduction and the sustainable use of biodiversity, the CBD Secretariat established the Biodiversity for Development Initiative.
Supported by the French and the German governments, the initiative was officially launched during the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties. Its objective is to improve the integration of the three objectives of the Convention into development processes in keeping the spirit of
Article 6 (b)
of the Convention.
The initiative works in close partnership with the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
to ensure that biodiversity conservation and sustainable use are integral to national and regional economic and social development policies, legal frameworks, development plans and implementation systems.
International Day for Biological Diversity 2010
The United Nations proclaimed May 22 The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues.

The first thing we'd like to mention about the Critter's Automatic Inflatable Pet Vest is that it is not for swimming since it will inflate if submerged. You can switch the firing mechanism to inflate manually if desired, but we didn't see the point. Our take on this is if you're planning to take your dog swimming, you'll have to purchase an inherently buoyant life jacket model. If your primary concern is an accidental fall overboard, then this jacket is a good choice because it is compact, yet effective once inflated.
This jacket took some time to learn how to don and adjust initially. With all the straps and an inflation canister it appeared as though we were strapping on a rocket booster to our oblivious volunteers. We were also concerned how our pets would respond to the sudden noise of a discharged cylinder, so we opted to try it on dry land first. As you can imagine, our unsuspecting friends were immediately alarmed by the hiss and sudden inflation.
After our tests, we contacted the manufacturer who suggested against testing on dry land first. Regardless, it was done, and we moved to our on-water portion of our testing. To our surprise, the canister made practically no noise since it was discharged underwater. The dogs barely noticed, which is probably why the manufacturer suggested against testing on land. It was actually quite thrilling to see the dogs leap into the water and bob to the surface once inflated.
The Critter's Vest is compact when packed and armed and was easy and comfortable for the dog to wear. Once inflated it easily quadrupled in size and floated the dogs very high. Our testers commented it would be a good choice for the cruising boater and pet owner, but stressed it was not a jacket for water play. The cost of the Critter's Inflatable Pet Vest at the time of our study averaged about $130. However, their website indicates that all jackets are on inventory clearance sale for $60.

Still, given the KPA's logistic weakness and inability to sustain battlefield operations, analysts expect an offensive lasting only three days to one week, after which Pyongyang could negotiate from a position of strength.
Commando force
Meanwhile, could South Korean forces hold long enough for U.S. troops to massively reinforce? Could U.S. forces operate effectively with their bases in Korea -- and possibly Japan, Okinawa and Guam-- under attack by KPA commandos and missiles? These are the imponderables.
Commandos would provide the KPA's spearhead, infiltrating by air, sea and probably under civilian cover to assault South Korean infrastructure and U.S. bases, degrading Seoul's command and communications capabilities and stemming U.S. reinforcements, said Kim of Korea University. Chaos would likely be increased by electronic jamming measures and cyber attacks. Meanwhile, KPA artillery could fire thousands of shells in their opening barrage, Kim estimated.
Still, questions hang over the KPA's war-worthiness. During Pyongyang parades, goose-stepping battalions display the world's finest close-order drill, but under U.S. aerial bombardment, might Kim's legions -- like Saddam Hussein's -- crack?
It seems unlikely. When North Korean troops have engaged -- notably in Yellow Sea clashes in 1999, 2002 and 2010, and in commando raids in 1968 and 1996 -- they have proven skilled and motivated.
But neither special forces nor artillery are war winners alone: They cannot seize and hold ground. The KPA's biggest weakness is the vulnerability of its main force units once they begin to maneuver.
Aerial bombardment
The U.S. and South Korea could fight a three-dimensional battle: KPA infantry and armored units would be pummeled by 24-7 U.S. aerial bombardment; its forces would also be vulnerable to heli-borne envelopment; and, because Korea is a peninsula, the North could be flanked by sea in amphibious operations.
Still, if the KPA ran the 30-mile gauntlet from the border and broke into Seoul, a city vaster than Stalingrad, it would be easy to cut off but difficult to evict. Close combat among Korea's hills and streets could prove murderous.
"They're not Saddam's army, they're likely to fight like the Japanese in the Pacific," said Pinkston, referring to Japan's last-ditch island stands of 1944-5. "They would be paranoid about what would happen if they surrendered."
Destroying North Korean artillery shelling Seoul -- much of it emplaced in tunnels that have been dug over decades -- would be another stern task. Kim noted that U.S. "bunker buster" bombs used in Iraq were originally designed for use against North Korea.
Seoul and Washington possess precision-guided munitions. Bombs or missiles bursting in bunker entrances could bury KPA artillery and air force units, analysts say. But the South Korean capital would likely take a severe pounding -- possibly with unconventional weapons.
Bio hazard
Last March, Thurman said: "If North Korea employs biological weapons, it could use highly pathogenic agents such as anthrax or the plague. In the densely populated urban terrain of the ROK, this represents a tremendous psychological weapon."
A marine or airborne landing to its rear are options to take out North Korea's gun line; the question is how much damage Seoul would suffer before such operations could be launched. KPA missiles are an additional threat: As coalition forces discovered in Gulf War I, finding and destroying mobile launchers is tremendously difficult.
Yet with U.S. air power constantly degrading KPA units, communications, headquarters and logistics nationwide, experts see no way for Pyongyang to win a sustained war. If South Korea and the U.S. attack into the North, the wild card is Beijing, with whom Pyongyang has a mutual defense treaty.
Northern Korea guards China's northeast: throughout history, a strategic flank. In 1950, with North Korea largely overrun by U.N. forces, Beijing intervened, saving the state from extinction. Pundits say Beijing would not support a Pyongyang offensive, but would defend her -- suggesting Kim's regime could survive a war, as his grandfather did.
"China will support North Korea, but only on North Korean territory," said Choi Ji-wook, head North Korea researcher at Seoul's Korea Institute of National Unification. "They will not support a North Korean army attacking South Korean territory."
Tough stance
Washington wants a tougher Chinese stance toward North Korea, but it is unclear whether Beijing's six-decade policy of support has altered significantly.
While supporting a vote to impose tougher sanctions on North Korea after its nuclear test, China recently criticized an announcement from the U.S. that it was beefing up defense systems along the U.S. West Coast.
"Bolstering missile defenses will only intensify antagonism, and it doesn't help to solve the issue," Hong Lei, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular news briefing in Beijing.
And regardless of the Chinese role, Kim Jong Un, North Korea's young leader, possesses a doomsday option: The nuclear button.
Currently, Pyongyang is not believed to have a missile-mounted nuclear warhead, but it may in years to come. Experts believe the North has rockets able to hit Japan or South Korea with air, land or sea-delivered nuclear devices or dirty bombs. If Kim detonated a nuclear device, it would guarantee apocalyptic retaliation and war crimes trials for any regime survivors -- but if all looked lost, that possibility stands.

Beauty fades, but true love lasts forever.
So much in this world is fleeting, which is why clinging to things that matter is so important.
Marrying someone for superficial reasons — including physical attraction or social standing — is fruitless because looks and money can go away.
However, the soul stays constant, and that's what matters most.
You wouldn't know that from interviews with celebrities who usually celebrate the superficial side.
Cosmopolitan's March cover girl Miley Cyrus — a 20-year-old actor and musician engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth — recently said a mouthful on how she sees her fiancé.
"Do you ever have these moments when you're still struck by how hot he is?" the magazine's interviewer said, as quoted on the publication's website.
"I'll literally look at him and be like 'You are hot, dear god!' The other day, I turned on the pool heater and it was steaming, and he walked outside and took off his clothes and jumped in the pool," Cyrus said.
"I was like, 'I'm gonna faint — the hottest guy of my life is in a steaming pool. This looks like a Playgirl shoot.' So I took a photo and made it the background on my phone. My best friend grabbed my phone and was like, "Who's that? He is so hot!' That's my hubby!"
And that's all Hemsworth's fiancée said about him, according to the magazine's website.
Nothing about the couple's friendship, her fiancé's spirituality or his good nature.
Just a sound bite from a girl who sounds more like a groupie, less like a woman considering a lifelong commitment.
Maybe that's all the magazine chose to use. It doesn't matter, either way, because impressionable readers will equate "hot" with love, based on this isolated description of the relationship.
The well-circulated interview is an example of modern values.
Though we laud freedom of speech, and should, constant, widespread spectacles of opposing values and worldviews is relatively new. No time before rivals today, with the barrage of celebrities, their lifestyles and causes constantly appearing on television, in print, on computers and phones.
Often, these messages rival children's morals or values from their upbringing.
Distractions, whether from a magazine interview or hip-hop music, undermine attention toward current affairs and world events.
Beyonce Knowles — and any other pop star — will come and go, but helping to form a perfect union in this country, working toward equality and sound governance, should always be in fashion.
Bob Sikes Elementary fourth-grader Justice Livingston understands that.
After the News Bulletin's Jan. 19 and 26 editions reported on her Inaugural Day trip to Washington D.C., readers' unanimous online response matched our initial impressions of the well-spoken and informed student.
I met Justice and her grandmother last week, just after she returned from her trip, and gained greater insight beyond words on a page.
Proudly wearing a "Barack Obama: 43rd President of the United States" T-shirt from his first inauguration, she recounted her experience, a dream come true for a girl who twice wrote the commander in chief: first in kindergarten in 2009 and just last November.
Knowles' performance was a passing mention as she spoke with reporter Brian Hughes. The student was more excited about the historical Inaugural Parade, the president she supports, and the goals she hopes his administration can achieve.
Many children her age develop obsessions with video games, TV shows and other entertainment that becomes mindless in extreme doses.
But that's not the case for Justice, whose grandparents keep her grounded, occasionally finish her sentences to reinforce their values, and teach her the importance of civic involvement.
Put down the magazines, girls and boys, and find real role models.

The Seattle University basketball team trailed 79-60 with eight-plus minutes remaining and things looked extra bleak at Civic Auditorium. The nationally ranked Chieftains had played lethargic against Portland to that point, and paid for it with the huge deficit. They were headed for their worst defeat of an otherwise superlative season.
Elgin Baylor, however, wouldn't allow it. On Jan. 30, 1958, the All-America forward single-handedly pulled this game from the depths in spectacular fashion, scoring a school-record 60 points -- 20 over the final 7:15 -- to rescue a 94-91 victory.
SU would reach the Final Four and the NCAA championship game and supply countless unforgettable moments. But for some players, this performance topped them all.
"I'll never forget that game," Chieftains guard "Sweet" Charlie Brown said. "I remember it more than any other. We just kept putting the ball on Elgin and he was hotter than a two-dollar bill. I can't remember him missing a shot."
With Seattle U returning to full Division I championship eligibility for the first time in 33 years -- when the Redhawks host Washington in a women's soccer match at Championship Field on Aug. 17 -- this is the 20th in a series of 33 stories replaying memorable SU events previously held at the NCAA's top level (1952-80).
While his teammates had an off game, Baylor was amazingly efficient throughout. He connected on 24 of 34 field-goal attempts, sank 12 of 15 free throws and grabbed 14 rebounds. He had 37 points in the second half alone.
"Elgin went wild," SU teammate Jon-Lee Kootnekoff said. "He was unstoppable. He was in midair and he would fake with his left hand, bring the ball behind his back, then he faked right, spun and put the ball in. I said, 'Wow, I'm watching the best basketball player in the world and I've got a free ticket.' "
What Baylor did at the end was sheer will. With SU trailing by eight at the game's final two-minute mark, Baylor hit a corner jumper to pull his team within 89-83. Brown knocked down two free throws with 1:52 to make it 89-85. Baylor tipped in a shot with 1:30 left to pull SU within 89-87.
"My one intention was to do what [coach John] Castellani wanted all the time: Get the ball to Elgin," Brown said. "The guy was going to take us to the promised land."
Baylor sent a roar through the crowd when he stole the inbounds pass and tipped in another miss to tie the game at 89. With 43 seconds left, Baylor scored again to put the Chieftains ahead 91-89. With 11 seconds remaining and the game tied, he was fouled while shooting and coolly dropped in two free throws for the game-winning points and a 93-91 lead. Teammate Jerry Frizzell finished off the comeback with a free throw with three seconds to go.
For everyone, it was an unforgettable night, watching an unstoppable Baylor pull his team from certain defeat and score at will, and sharing in it as best they could.
"When Elgin had 58 points, I can tell you who threw to him to get 60," SU forward Bill Wall said. "It was me."

The Magical Mushroom filled with Wonders
Hi, you've just stepped inside danger zone, get ready to explode in few seconds.
Kidding, but really, you have entered a realm that is not quite like you probably are used to.
This place is run by a peculiar creature, still in-identified, human this thing is not, neither an animal, UFO's denied it, so the search still continues. (Current speculations are that it's a Jellyfish)
This creature likes to spend her days in the world of music,art,dance,writing and whatever might feel like interesting on that day. Tomorrow it could be spaceships.
Go on, take a look breavely, but don't expect this blog to stay as a steady flow of one particular thing; even if Kpop might take most of it, there will also be anything and everything the universum offers.
Don't be discouraged just because she might have lost a moomin or two from her valley, or the occasional pervertedness that has been verified by many who have conversed with her.
She won't bite, unless you ask nicely, so feel free to drop in the magic box of communication~

I dunno if it's the buzz-happy guitars, the simple song structures, the growled (rather than gurgled) vocals, or greater emphasis placed on the riff (rather than speed or complexity) that does it, but I've got a gigantic soft spot for this kind of death metal. Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Carnage, Edge of Sanity, you name it—if it comes from Stockholm and sounds Skogsberg-y, I'm likely to eat it up. It should come as no surprise, then, that the latest from Swedish diehards Unleashed is treating me quite well. Johnny Hedlund and company have done…well, more or less exactly what you'd figure they'd do. Mindvinterblot is certainly much superior to the band's mid-nineties-era work, and is at least equivalent—in pretty much every way—to 2004's Sworn Allegiance.
If that doesn't sound like much of an endorsement, it might be because Unleashed are suffering somewhat from poor timing. 2006 has seen a number of very strong releases from Unleashed's immediate peers. Dismember, Amon Amarth, and even Grave have all released their best albums in several years, and Mindvinterblot seems a little flimsy simply because it's not a marked improvement over its predecessors. But this band has never been much concerned with progression, and as far as I'm concerned, they don't need to fix what ain't broke. Unleashed plow through forty-five unbroken minutes of thunderous, groovy goodness here—not even a sample slowing up the riffs on this one—and they'd be at serious risk of pissing off their fanbase if they didn't. Even those who love this style as much as I do might start to drift after the tenth or eleventh three-minute thrash-informed tirade, but Mindvinterblot isn't exactly an album that demands to be listened to from start to finish. This is best taken little bits at a time; throw on a track or two, soak in the massive grooves, choppy Slayer-isms and the hairy-chested soloing, and move on before you start thinking about how great Like An Everflowing Stream was.
Not that any of this means a damn thing to Johnny Hedlund; dude was in Nihilist and as far as he's concerned pretty much anyone else is a death metal newbie by comparison. And it's tough to discount that veneration here. Tracks like ridiculously Tolkien-inspired and ridiculous catchy "We Must Join With Him" show off the band's ability to craft instrumental hooks (check that chorus!), and "Valhalla Awaits" gives Amon Amarth's "Valhalla Awaits Me" a serious run for its coinage. And, of course, there's the rollicking midpaced crushers: "Mindvinterblot," "The Avenger," "The Witch," and "Age of the Warrior" all bring that endlessly enjoyable buzz in spades. Though this was produced by Fredrik Folkare at Chrome Studios instead of by Skogsberg at Sunlight, Mindvinderblot sounds authentic through and through—which, arguably, is what this album's all about. Unleashed almost certainly won't be recruiting many new fans with this one, but those of you who long for the pre-Wolverine Blues days of Stockholm death metal (and I know you're out there) will dig this for sure.

Walked here in March, with only a few birds around but plenty of snow. Quiet peaceful strolling on trails with beautiful snow covered trees.
This is a very nice local place to spend some time on the trails. Like many of the other reviewers, we didn't see any wildlife, including birds, while we were there but it was July and maybe our timing wasn't right. I believe the birds flock to the field in September. The trails provide a very peaceful setting. The mosiquitos... More
These trails are very nice and easy to walk. We got some incredible pictures. However, our purpose was to get to see birds and wildlife, and we barely saw a few. We wanted to make a donation, but the visitor's center was closed at the moment. For a free attraction, I feel that it was worth our time. Just wish... More
We were fortunate to catch the special Autumn Equinox guided nature walk. We learned a lot about forest flora and fauna -- very interesting and worthwhile.
I like the trails. They are an easy hike. The birds are varied depending upon the time of year you go. Unfortunately the long winter stopped some birds from getting as far north this year. There is a small gift shop you and visitor center. Donations welcomed to this free attraction.
Even though it was closed we enjoyed the geese, ducks and swans. Very nice interpretive signs and pictures.
Great trails and scenic views, lots of birds to take pictures of and a great opportunity to walk though the Boreal Forrest
What a treat--a former creamery converted into a sanctuary for migrating birds and other wildlife. We liked it so much we visited it twice during our brief stay in Fairbanks. Unfortunately the many different birds we could hear in the trees were very difficult to spot, and the mosquitos made it uncomfortable to linger too long in one spot. Very... More
This is free and one of the few things to do in Fairbanks so it's worth a stop if you have some time to kill. We were there at the end of August so there were lots of birds. A very tiny "museum - visitor center" but worth a peak.

Music competitions are rarely China vs. US vs. Canada vs. Australia, etc. The top Chopin piano competitions, etc. just choose the BEST pianists, regardless of nationality. Same with ballet, same with many other forms of art.
Yes, I know that sports are very different from art.
I think that team sports should always be based on some sort of nationality or geographical region (e.g. city, like Lakers, Raptors).
For individual sports, such as ping pong, gymnastics, figure skating, (although I guess the latter two do have "teams" but they could form a national team just for that sole TEAM gymnastics or TEAM figure skating) and then have all the other individual events (pommel horse, rings, all around) just go to the best individual.
I think this could be a way for sports in general to get less political. For example, no one ever complains about loyalties etc. when a Chinese musician goes to the US to study with the top music gurus and accomplish great things there. They are still respected as a Chinese individual who was able to excel in music. And vice versa. But with sports, it's sometimes seen as directly opposing your country, etc.
I think there shouldn't be nationality boundaries for many sports. I can already imagine this idea will VASTLY unpopular because most people watch sports to cheer on their city, country, or whatever, and I do too.
But once I got to read more about the athletes themselves, I feel that it isn't important what country they're from. It's more about the athletes themselves.
This is probably highly impractical though because of funding for training. If there is no incentive for the government, then they simply won't fund these individuals.

Hi i am looking at recruiting a couple of posts into a Digital Marketing team which currently consists of 2 people a retention manager and me head of acquisition.
The 2 posts will be in acquisition - and my current thinking is a global search manager, and a web analytics/insight type person. We may also have budget for a content type person...
However I do also plan to recruit online marketing agency support (across PPC/SEO and display).
Does anyone think that employing a search manager and a search agency is unnecessary?
Anyone have any other thoughts on internal team structure and agency mix??

Does the white get dirty after a while? I'd rather have the black because I'm afraid that the white will get dingy.

Both versions are fingerprint magnets on the ear cups but the black shows fingerprints more. I have the crystal pair and I can say that the headband does lose its finish over time, however the headphones come with "Headphone Shine" and a cleaning cloth from Monster which essentially restores the original look of the headphones.

Monsanto says GMO wheat find in Oregon 'suspicious'
resize text | Tweet |
"We have documentation of what seed was sent to the Colorado facility and documentation of its subsequent destruction," spokesman Thomas Helscher said. "At our direction, the seed was destroyed (incinerated) as it was old material and we had no plans for its future use."
Millers, grain handlers, exporters, wheat growers and others have complained that USDA/APHIS officials are not disclosing enough information about their findings, and until they do, the market for western white wheat will remain limited.
On Friday, USDA spokesman Ed Curlett said the investigation was proceeding and that so far the testing has focused on the three varieties of soft white wheat seed that the farmer in Oregon who found the Roundup Ready wheat had planted on his farm since 2009.
Investigators obtained samples of the same varieties of wheat seed sold to the farmer and other growers, and obtained samples of the farmer's wheat harvests, Curlett said. Investigators have also identified over 250 farmers who purchased and planted the same seed varieties and conducted nearly 230 in-person interviews with these farmers who all said they had not found any glyphosate resistant wheat volunteers on their farms.
The government has tested eight samples of seed and four grain samples and none of the more than 100 tests conducted have turned up positive for the experimental genetically engineered trait, according to Curlett.
Curlett said the government tested nine "pools" from each of the 12 samples for detection of as small a contamination level as 0.003 percent, or roughly one in about 30,000 kernels.

Call thank you for that crude all this morning topping 100 dollars a barrel for the first time since may.
Again -- -- mounting tensions in protests throughout the Middle East and then the Federal Reserve ready willing to pump.
Tons of money tens of days the dollars back in this economy.
Wayne Rogers is here to -- and chairman of white -- company joins us now from Los Angeles weighing.
Is this what we have to deal with for not just months but years to come in terms of energy prices.
Well I don't think it's just necessarily it'd be energy prices semi -- you you talked about the fact that Bernanke is -- -- pumping.
Credit money he's pumping money and it did you know that the treasury issues.
Bunch of bonds in the Federal Reserve buys it -- -- -- same thing is spreading money so.
You gonna have inflation so hard assets oil being one all commodities being -- subject -- that a gonna in flight and price because -- they're not subject to this kind of thing in the the same time you've got.
In the Middle East all of this turmoil going on which is a a threat so that traders are obviously gonna bid up the price of -- because they think at any moment there's the threat of the oil markets big being interrupted by this.
But when it doesn't look like in the foreseeable future any thing will happen then to bring the prices back down so is the economy now.
On the ropes are we now endangered -- even though Bernanke I guess I guess I Wear a -- also is.
One of the prices gonna come down and to do -- Bernanke got to have the opposite effect on the economy than you would hope.
Well -- be yes he is gonna have ultimately he has -- all he's doing -- bids you know you're trying to keep the genie in the bottle.
The fact of the matter is for example you could say what could help this problem one of the things could help but is that the administration could allow the Keystone Pipeline to look our.
Why they a blocking it I have no idea.
The unions before they oil business industry is for it almost everybody is -- except the present -- United States I don't get it.
So there are things yes that can relieve the price of oil that we are not doing.
Is it helping -- least that this is not the kind of shocked that we saw back in 2008 where will spike well above.
A hundred dollars a barrel it was about a 135 dollars a barrel at the highs.
It least that oil has remained relatively highs of the American people in the last few years have.
Gotten a chance to learn to live with us.
Well I think that's true but it also hurts everybody though advantage certainly at the lower end of the economy if you -- -- if you're a person left to drive long distance to work.
And you've got -- shell out that much more for your for your pay each day it's it's it's a it's a problem so.
Natural gas is gonna be a substitute that ultimately will have its day its gonna take some time that it will ultimately have it today because we've got an unlimited supply of that would you invest in oil that at this point.
And commodity aren't already invested in oil at this point I'm invested in commodities in to a great extent because I think as I said that inflation is just.
I genie in the bottle -- gonna get out sooner or later and Bernanke and all the politicians of the world can't bribe themselves enough to keep that in.
But it would take you a healthy economy would it not to really trigger that -- and right now this economy is not.
It doesn't help though it does not take a healthy economy to trigger inflation not at all look at the Weimar republic after World War I in Germany that was it.
Not a healthy economy and -- inflation went bizarre.
May actually did have a printing press south of problem you couldn't remove the accommodation the Federal Reserve says that -- can't remain investment you don't buy that.
I don't buy it it'll.
Paying your rent with butter that actually happened why thank you so much just can't just say thank you very happy day -- get -- Wayne Rogers when Rogers and company.

"Not So Good"
This hotel was ok but not any better than economy hotel. The property is old and in a not so good part of Myrtle Beach. Its not near the water. The room was fairly basic and not so clean. The full breakfast buffet was very good. The staff were very friendly. I just dont think this hotel was worth the $128 per night.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Staff went out of their way - very impressed"
Business trip. Last minute and location to where I needed to be was important. It is not the best area but the hotel was very nice. Front desk was fantastic and I enjoyed a nice quiet corner dinner in the restaurant. Service was just right: attentive but not overbearing. I would stay again most certainly.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Close to destination"
I had won tickets to Medieval Times and we decided to stay in town over night so this hotel was very convenient because it was just down the road. The staff at the front desk was very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. The free buffet breakfast was awesome. We would definitely stay there again.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"worst hotel stay ever"
Rooms need remodeling. Front desk associates need to be more sympathetic to customers needs/complaints. Virtual tour needs to be update to reflect true hotel appearance. Pest control needed.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Disappointing Experience"
We arrived at the Clarion, N. Myrtle Beach, and were delighted to see a beautiful lobby, pool, bar, and restaurant. However, our room was less than satisfactory. Although relatively clean, the room and hallway were in need of painting and repairing of walls. The bathroom fan was dirty and did not work. The air conditioner came off and on all night, […] and was unusually loud. If you stay on the road side of the hotel, the room seemed smaller and more depressing. We asked for a water view, which eventually happened after the manager had to go to great lengths to get. That room at least had a nice view, but still had fan and air conditioner issues. The best part of the hotel was the delicious breakfast and happy hour prices. The staff in both areas were friendly and helpful, which was a redeeming factor for the hotel. The location is not in the best area, but the hotel is close to Myrtle Beach and Coastal Carolina University. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Myrtle Beach"
The hotel is located in an area of town that has a closed amusement park and commercial businesses. The hotel needs work, much of it is tired looking and requires upgrades. The rooms need to be renovated. It has one elevator for 6 floors, fortunately we were on the second floor and could use the stairs. When it rained water from the balcony wet the […] carpet by the door. The pool and hot tub were cold and I question the cleanliness of the hot tub. You are about 7k from the beach. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Just The Two Of Us"
The hotel is located about 3 miles from the beach and the area around the hotel has died out. There is a Tanger Outlet about 2 miles from the hotel and a Medieval Times, but that's about it. It is a quiet location, but the hotel room conditions were disappointing. The interior of the hotel is antiquated and needs updating, to include interior finishes. […] The rooms sizes are nice and we had a good view of the Intracoastal Waterway. On a positive note, the breakfast bar was well stocked and the indoor pool is easily accessible. I've stayed at hotels in this same chain for a lot less price and much better condition. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Pretty view of the waterway"
Hotel was clean, rooms were comfortable, and breakfast was excellent! We were there in early August and the pool was a bit chilly, but this summer has been rainier than usual. The jacuzzi was just right, though! The light outside the sliding door was a bit too bright and the curtains didn't block it out. The staff were extremely attentive and courteous, […] making us feel welcome. The location is near a closed outlet mall, but it was convenient getting to where ever we wanted to go. I would stay here again :) 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

The hotel was very accommodating. The staff was excellent. I really enjoyed the breakfast. The room was very nice. The location of the hotel was not what I expected. it was located in an area that did not have any restaurants close bye. It was the peak season at Myrtle beach and the restaurant was closed at 9:00 pm. I would suggest that the hotel restaurant […] during the summer season have longer hours to accommodate guests. a suggestion would be to serve light fare until 11:00 pm 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Not what expected"
When arriving in the lobby, it was humid, like the air wasn't working. Then after receiving key to room went to fourth floor. As soon as I stepped off the stinch of cat urine was overwhelming!!! Then neither key to room wouldn't work. Called number to get staff at desk only to find out it was the number to a persons room in the hotel. So had to take […] all luggage back down stairs and wait for someone to help me AGAIN. Requested different floor and received room on fifth floor. It smelled of old smoke, but the key worked. The hotel looked nice, but is in definite need of updates and remodeling and MAJOR cleaning!!! Wouldn't stay again at a clarion just because of all this!!! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Personnel very friendly and polite!"
Our stay was comfortable and the hotel personnel were polite, eventhough, they were very busy. Two family reunions were there with many people to try an please. I would stay there again. Their continental breakfast was a genuine southern breakfast. This saves families with children a lot of money.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Ok Stay"
I have stayed at many hotels and this is not a bad place to stay. My only complaint is the surrounding area. There are plenty of strip clubs and no places to dine. If you stay here, just make sure you grab something to eat first.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Good Hotel but in a not so good location"
The hotel was clean and well-maintained; the staff was polite, friendly and helpful. There was an abundance of chlorine in the hotel pool and was overbearing upon exiting the hotel elevator. The hotel restaurant offered good food but its hours were limited. The location is okay but seem to have lost its ambiance when the mall across the street closed […] down. There are good places to sightsee but not within walking distance. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"great place to lay your head"
We were heading in for vacation a day earlier than expected with out a place to stay. I checked out a few other hotels in the near area close to the beach and we stumbled on this one. We booked the room and unloaded the van and enjoyed a very relaxing end on of a long ride. The lobby was very clean and the rooms were very comfortable. TV worked great […] and we lucked out to be right next to the elevator. All and all this was a satisfying stop to recharge. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"A Nice Place To Stay"
We stayed here and just left yesterday. It's across the street from an abandoned mall and amusement park but that is really not a problem. A quick 5 minute ride and you are at a HUGE mall. The beach and Broadway at the Beach are about 10 minutes max and it is an easy drive. You are right on the inter-coastal waterway and it is beautiful. We brought […] our dog and there was a fee but it was worth it. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

Fished off the bank, enjoyed a beer in the bar, food at the bar, everything was wonderful!!! Highly recommend this place.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
The best thing about the hotel was the fact that my family was able to check in early and the staff was helpful. The lady at the front desk was helpful, but a smile would have been nice. The room had an odor, the floor was dirty, and there was a stain on the sheets on one bed. There was a club or some type of venue across the street that was very noisy […] and kept us up until after 1:00am. The nightly rate was too expensive for that type of quality.

"Missed Potential"
Regardless of price point there are some non-negotiables for any hotel. For me these include: Cleanliness, competency, courtesy, comfort and safety.This Clarion was just ok.It wasn't dirty; it was quiet, the beds fine, It had basic amenities, but nary a working printer ( and no one who could fix it.) Complimentary breakfast, not early enough to take […] advantage (late opening to boot, and manager made excuses.) Most egregious fault was the staff. The person who checked us in was slovenly and disinterested. First room was near the elevator asked to be moved. Moved to opposite end of hall near the back elevator. Really? Not a problem though by second day that elevator was "out of order". Same individual was outside on smoke breaks when guest waiting at front desk. Other front desk person prefaced everything by "I'm new here so I don't know." This hotel would be perceived as much better if they just had people that could maximize its potential. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"Very Nice Hotel for $$"
Great Hotel, in a nice location that is set apartt from some of the mess that Myrtle Beach can be at times. My only complaint was that upon checking in, the front desk sends you to what they say is a concierge desk, but in fact is a lady trying to sell time-shares. How do they think this strikes the average traveler who may have come a great distance […] to be there, and just wants to get to their room, only to have a 10 minute sales pitch thrown at them while holding their bags. Other than this foolishness, our stay was very enjoyable in this clean, comfortabel, affordable hotel. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
