Pricing Data on the Proposed Sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia

ID-81-65: Published: Sep 18, 1981. Publicly Released: Dec 17, 1981.

Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800

GAO reviewed the pricing data associated with the proposed sale of E-3A Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) to decide whether the U.S. military would be charging Saudi Arabia a full pro rata share of nonrecurring costs.

The Department of Defense stated that the estimated value of the sale, $5.8 billion, included: five aircraft worth $1,200 million, spare parts worth $500 million, support equipment worth $40 million, contractor support of AWACS worth $1,300 million, an upgrade of the ground command and the control system worth $2,100 million, and miscellaneous expenses worth $660 million. The figures include provisions for a 4-percent surcharge for non-recurring production costs, a 3-percent administrative surcharge, and a 1.5-percent surcharge for quality assurance. The Defense Security Assistance Agency has granted no cost waivers on this proposed sale. The United States would charge Saudi Arabia the full cost of developing commercial replacements for certain non-releasable U.S. Air Force Systems. Nonrecurring costs recoupment is prorated as a pool against total estimated quantities of the sale model, past and projected. The recoupment estimate to be paid by Saudi Arabia for nonrecurring costs would range between $145 million and $160 million for five aircraft. The United States would share a portion of that recoupment with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), probably between $29 million and $32.45 million for the five aircraft. The sharing and recoupment with NATO is another aspect which could be pursued further, if the proposed sale were approved, because the United States made extraordinary cost waivers and financial concessions in selling 18 AWACS to NATO.

Environmental Protection Agency Issues

OCG-89-20TR: Published: Nov 1, 1988. Publicly Released: Nov 1, 1988.

Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800

GAO presented its views on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program issues facing the new administration.

GAO found that the new administration will need to: (1) manage environmental programs with greater emphasis on achieving measurable environmental results; (2) implement a multimedia approach in monitoring and evaluating changing environmental conditions; (3) rank results-oriented environmental goals in order of priority as a basis for planning and budgeting activities and link them to the EPA financial management system; (4) develop a more effective partnership with states to carry out the nation's pollution abatement efforts; (5) improve the focus and direction of the hazardous waste program; (6) develop a more effective strategy for the Superfund Program that ensures quick site cleanups and that responsible parties share the cleanup costs; (7) ensure that federal agencies comply with environmental regulations; (8) increase EPA evaluation of nonhazardous wastes and determine the federal role in the control of nonhazardous wastes; (9) create a new policy for reducing ground-level ozone to environmentally safe levels; (10) focus increased management attention on the long-term health effects of pesticide products; and (11) develop a comprehensive approach to controlling surface water pollution that recognizes point and nonpoint sources of pollution, to improve the quality of the nation's waterways.

Clever Gardening Technique

Clear Milk, Water, Juice Containers = Frost Protection
Provide protection from frost for small transplants with mini-greenhouses made from clear plastic milk or water jugs with their caps removed and their bottoms cut off. Place the jugs over the transplant, and press it about one-half inch deep into the soil to prevent the entry of pests such as cutworms at the soil level and to lessen the chance of the jug being blown away during windy gusts. If you expect winds, insert a stick through the top down about six inches into the soil. Remove the jugs when the foliage begins to crowd the jug, or when night temperatures are above 50 degrees.

i have an alley which has the house gable to one side which faces north and a wall starting at 1 metre and leading up to 2.5m on the other.

on the side with the low wall i have a narrow strip of soil which i plan to plant hellebores, pulmonarias etc, however i need some suggestions for trailing plants to cover the ugly concrete wall.

02/05/2012 at 20:15

thanks for that will look into both of those... i dont however want anything too invasive, will that be a problem with these?

02/05/2012 at 22:48

There are clematis that like shade and can be trained up walls if you give them some trellis or just a set of rows of wire about a foot/30cms apart and stretched taught across vine eyes.  Have a look at the text search facility on this site - - to find ones that ill be the right size and colour and maybe evergreen if you're not too cold.

If you can't afford such supports or aren't allowed, or don't want, to use them, then have a look at ivy with variegated golden or cream foliage as this will self cling and, being evergreen, will work all year round and brighten up the corner and provide shelter for insects.

Cool. I have plenty of that.

Any news on the leaking water from next door??

19/10/2012 at 13:52

Well it is intermittent-still keeping an eye out for the woman that calls every few days-it is probably a stuck ball cock or something-no sniggering at the back please

I keep seeing adverts for Love Film direct to your computer-how does that work?

19/10/2012 at 14:12

I am off on my travels - I hope the sun is shining on the south coast because it isn't here!

Geoff - have sent you a secret message!

I have weighed the big pumpkin. Any guesses? Will accept both lb and kg - as have done both! Prize to the one who gets closest in either!!

19/10/2012 at 14:19

Lottie- it is raining

All received and understood

Will guess at 9lb 7ounces-probably miles out

19/10/2012 at 14:23

Will give you a clue - the green one, which is smaller, weighs 18lb!

Geoff, you can have another go!

19/10/2012 at 14:23

Lottie, I'm going for 3.1 kg!

Geoff, I have that option in my package. Some of the films available can be streamed to your computer and played on a media player, which is great, but as I'm normally using the computer while I'm watching a film, it's not ideal. I could put the laptop next to my monitor on the computer table, and watch that way I suppose.

"Really?" said Murphy, "I can't believe they all had the same name!!"

19/10/2012 at 14:32

Ok-world record for pumpkin was around 500 lbs-probably more now

Will guess-mmmm-27lb 7 ounces-probably still miles out

How many computers do you have Becks?

We are still missing a lot of classmates today-and haven't heard from MissB in a while about Portugal hol or if she got that job

Have just got back 68p from Amazon for an out of date battery-so that is good and I get to keep the battery-yay

19/10/2012 at 14:37

2 desktops (one down here, one upstairs) and 2 laptops. One Jess's and one mine, but my Dad is getting mine fixed at the mo. Screen problems. All apart from this desktop second hand, bought off ebay to stop 3 kids squabbling over who has what!

19/10/2012 at 14:41

You may be suffering from a serious addiction-for which there is no cure

I like this one~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"!Rupert and Elaine, a young couple, got married and went happily on their honeymoon.

When they got back, Elaine immediately 'phoned her mother and her mother obviously asked, 'How was the honeymoon, dearest?'

'Oh, Ma,' she replied, 'the honeymoon was wonderful. So romantic...'

Then Elaine burst out crying. 'But, Ma, as soon as we returned home Rupert started using the most ghastly language... saying things I've never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come get me and take me home.... Please Ma.'

'Calm down, Elaine!,' said her mother, 'Tell me, what could be so awful?  What 4-letter words?'

Still sobbing, Elaine whispered, 'Oh, Ma...words like dust, wash, cook, and iron.'"

19/10/2012 at 14:49

Do not try this at home

19/10/2012 at 14:51

Idiot! Why would you do that? Even if it broke?

19/10/2012 at 14:54

Afternoon all, it's been raining all day here and I'm trying to tempt the OH out for a walk but he's having none of it. I love walking in the rain.

Becks your rhubarb will be fine in the shade, traditionally they're grown at the very edge of veggie patches where you can't put much else. My own is planted right behind a 6 foot fence and has been massive this year, I think they must like the rain.

I absolutely adore Cornwall and the south west, had a week down there earlier this year and must book another soon.

19/10/2012 at 14:57

Great, thanks Leggi. Walking in the rain?? But you get wet?

19/10/2012 at 14:58

Hi all Sorry I'm late

Went swimming and only sunk once. Saved by very pleasant young man!

Then went to Worcester with friend to buy some bottles for tomato ketchup I will make this weekend. Thought I'd give it as C presents. Sorry but some things have to be planned ahead!

2 rhubarb plants arrived today. Forgotten they were on order so will have to persuade OH to go get some manure for the half prepared bed. Hope they survive look as if they are only thinking about staying alive!

Loved the saucer in the garden

25lbs 10 oz

19/10/2012 at 15:04

You only get wet if you don't have a nice big waterproof coat.

Does anyone know if I divide a rhubarb will I have to leave it alone and not pick any next year?

19/10/2012 at 15:04

Becks did you get anywhere with holiday plans for next year or is it still a dream?

Leggi-why do you like walking in the rain?-that is like playing in the snow another no-no

Sinking  just once is progress in my eyes

With Young Gun Jacob Wheeler
Minnetonka, Minnesota (January, 17 2013) – After becoming the youngest angler to win the Forrest Wood Cup in 2012, it’s safe to say Jacob Wheeler will be an on-the-water force throughout the New Year. Rapala®, the world’s favorite fishing lure, agrees.In 2012, Rapala and Storm® lures, along with Trigger X® soft baits sponsored the rising star and have extended the relationship for 2013, in addition to bolstering the sponsorship by adding elite brands VMC® hooks and Sufix® fishing line.

“Rapala and Trigger X, specifically the new Rapala X-Rap® Prop and Trigger X Flippin’ Tube, were key factors in winning the Forrest Wood Cup,” says Wheeler. “I’m thrilled to continue my sponsorship with these brands and to be involved with VMC and Sufix – two brands that should be a staple in any anglers tackle arsenal.”

Throughout his career, Wheeler has won a variety of the industry’s top tournaments, including becoming the youngest angler in FLW Outdoor history to win the BFL All-American.

“Not only is Jacob an amazing angler, but a respected promoter to boot, and we are excited to have him representing our brands,” remarked Dan Quinn, field promotions coordinator for Rapala USA. “Jacob will have a strong influence on our brands.”

Meticulously fine-tuned for the ultimate performance, Trigger X soft baits portray a mesmerizing action through the water. Sufix, in partnership with Gore, the makers of GORE® performance Fibers, created a breakthrough in fishing line technology with its Sufix 832 lines.

The Psychodynamic Approach

Psychodynamic Approach

This reaction paper discusses the psychodynamic approach to leadership styles and how it applies to my effectiveness as a leader. In this discussion of the psychodynamic approach, I will juxtapose my personal leadership style based on my personality type with the situation to give an accurate picture of how personality style dictates my behavior. Personality refers to the consistent pattern of thinking, feeling, and the way of acting (McCrae & Costa (1990). Since we will deal with personalities, it can be assumed that no two situations will elicit identical responses from the leader because they are situational and emotionally different. My leadership style will be assessed using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and how my temperament type is expressed in the workplace.

Peeling My Onion

An underlying assumption in the psychodynamic approach is that the personality characteristics of individuals, being deeply ingrained, are very difficult to change in any significant way (Northouse, 2010). The normal path to the study of leaders and their effectiveness as it relates to traits, style, and personalities is to study the people who are in positions of leadership and how and what they did right. The psycho dynamic approach starts with an analysis of the human personality and then relates the personality types to the leadership levels and types (Northouse, 2010). My personality type was assessed using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the result showed me as an ENTP. A detailed description of my type and its application to the work environment follows. For further explanation of the elements of the MBTI refer to the Myers & Briggs Foundation.

Uncovering What Makes Me Tick

McCrae & Costa (2000) stated that "personality traits, like temperaments, are endogenous dispositions that follow intrinsic paths of development essentially independent of environmental influences." The eight elements of the MBTI catalog my world into four distinct areas: 1) how I interact with the world (Extraversion or Introversion (I or N)). 2) How I process information (Sensing or iNtuition (S or N)). 3) How I make decisions (Thinking or Feeling (T or F)). 4) The need for structure and closure (Judging or Perceiving (J or P)). Since my MBTI indicated that I am an ENTP it means that I am an Extravert Intuitive Thinker Perceiver. Put bluntly, I am very creative, stimulating, alert and outspoken. I am resourceful in solving problems and can conceptualize possibilities easily.? I love to perform deep strategic thinking and am skilled at reading others. My biggest problem is being bored by routine performance and so I am not well suited for mundane desk jobs which require particularly high attention to detail.? I also do not like to close projects and will tend to procrastinate. I also find myself taking on new challenges before completing old one.

My type and the job

In my position as Finance Manager for a government research agency, I am normally tasked to perform the same tasks on a daily basis and I find the routine extremely boring. I do have a very task driven director and subordinates. This allows me to focus on the creative solutions and strategic vision while others focus on the details. As an extrovert, I am able to engage others in dialogue and craft solutions to problems that would otherwise be elusive. One thing that I am sure of is that my understanding of my personality type has helped me to approach my job and to assign tasks in ways that ensure achievement of the objectives.? I delegate mundane tasks and focus on the difficult and unique requirements because I know I get bored easily and will task-hop. The psychodynamic approach enables me to understand myself and others and to put situations in perspective before embarking on a solution.

Understanding my personality type and the traits which guide my interaction with the world is the first step in finding the keys to my success. I know I am likeable, approachable, creative, and dedicated.? Those are not enough to achieve success in the modern business world where things must get done.? I am able to leverage others where deadlines must be met and to lend my talents where discussion and creative solutions are needed.? I think I have found a balance in the workplace and am able to contribute significantly to mission accomplishment. In this paper I gave an account of my personality type and how my work environment is affected based on my knowledge of the psychodynamic approach.? I showed how knowing one?s type can be beneficial in the workplace and our interaction with others.

“Anthony Huss will stay in prison until the time that the Supreme Court makes that decision,” said Sanderson.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office investigators arrested Huss Aug. 1, 2007, after a woman told officers that Huss forcibly had sex with her.

According to the Court of Appeals decision, the woman previously dated Huss. She told investigators that she met up with Huss at his house and that he bound her hands with a martial arts belt and forced himself on her.

A few days passed before the woman reported the incident, according to court documents.

Huss told investigators that the interaction was mutual and that bondage was a typical part of their relationship.

Prosecutors argued during the trial that Huss was an experienced martial arts fighter and that he outweighed the woman by 100 pounds.

The state based its case of sexual offense on the theory that the woman was physically helpless.

Forestview softball rallies for first league win

Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 10:58 PM.

GASTONIA — Forestview scored five runs on five hits and two errors in the sixth inning to rally past North Gaston 8-6 in Big South 3A Conference softball action Tuesday.

Lauren McLamb and Victoria Macon had singles in the decisive inning as Forestview (4-5, 1-1 Big South) picked up its first conference victory.

“That’s something we haven’t done the last two years,” Forestview coach Kevin Baker said of the rally from a three-run deficit.

McLamb finished with two hits and two runs to lead the Jaguars at the plate. Shea Hamilton, Mandy Helms (RBI), Emily Waugh (RBI), Brandy Lawing (RBI) and Macon had one hit each to account for Forestview’s seven hits.

The Jaguars jumped out to a 3-0 lead over the first two innings but trailed 6-3 until the sixth-inning outburst.

Freshman Brandy Lawing (2-2) pitched the win in relief after entering in the fifth.

North Gaston (0-5, 0-2) fell short of its first win despite outhitting the Jaguars 11-7. Emily Gibson cranked out three of those hits while Amber Davis had a pair of singles and an RBI. Breanna Davis, Georgina Diaz, Molly Morrow, Emily Rudisill, Ashley McKinney and Ashlyn Steelman each had one hit for the Wildcats.

Hot Tomato's Restaurant Review

: Situated in the Taft Hotel's grand old ballroom, the New Haven branch of Hot Tomato's is striking, from the dramatic winding staircase and ornate, inlaid ceiling to the open kitchen, which turns out a repertoire nearly identical to that of the Hartford flagship---one that emphasizes the freshest fish, certified Angus beef and the choicest of greens. Swift and amiable servers begin your meal with the signature garlic bread---a mini-loaf loaded with four cheeses and enough garlic to keep vampires at bay for at least a year. Move on to eggplant fries with fresh tomato sauce and shaved Grana Padana; then prepare for first-rate pasta such as four-cheese tortellini with sweet Italian sausage, mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes or spicy chicken, sausage and veal stew with fennel, mushrooms, and mixed peppers over egg fettuccine. Perched adjacent to the Shubert Theater, Hot Tomato's makes for perfect pre- or post-theater dining. Actually, the place itself is pure theater.

New Victoria Spa Package

The new Spa Package is the latest addition to our range of packages.
We see packages as a convenience for our guests who wish to have a selection of activities and goodies pre-arranged. This we are happy to do. Other people prefer to have just one or two elements of the packages and we can help them plan this. Then, others like to discuss possible options with us after they arrive. The choice is yours.

If a bed and breakfast spa package appeals, then you will enjoy two (one apiece) endless relaxation full-body massages (I can verify that they are wonderfully soothing), a fruit and cheese tray with sparkling wine or apple juice, local Victoria chocolates, fresh flowers and a selection of Silk Road spa products to take home. The total cost is Cdn$310 + 5% GST, in addition to your room rates. A two night minimum stay applies.

Others on our website include two romance packages, a gardens package and a whale-watching package.

If you prefer just to have a massage or other treatments then take a look at our Victoria massages page - there are two massages, body scrubs, facials, manicures and pedicures from qualified therapists. Please remember to book ahead so that we can arrange an appointment with them. If you take a massage we suggest you plan a relaxing couple of hours afterwards to savour the deep calming you will be enjoying.

Breakfast at a bed and breakfast

Breakfast needs to be set up very soon in the Morning Room where our bed and breakfast guests will enjoy the break from their fast tomorrow morning. So before doing this I thought a quick breakfast blog entry was in order.

Attending a trade show last weekend I stayed in a hotel for its convenient proximity. Overnight parking cost $12 and the breakfast was over-priced. Oh to be in a bed and breakfast with free parking and a free full breakfast!

So before I load our dining table with all the accoutrements that make our breakfast table so elegant I thought a little background might be of interest.

The Morning Room (read Dining Room) receives the morning sun so, poetically, one might describe rays of morning sun glancing across the table but I will refrain from that. The furnishings are a blend of antique Canadian heirlooms and more contemporary items like botanical tapestries. Elegant glass and silver add sparkle. Flowers vay according to the seasons. All this is set up the previous evening and necessary preliminary kitchen preparations made.

In the morning Linda and I silently (always) enjoy our coffeee, toast and marmalade (what else for an Englishman?) before turning to the baking, blending, cooking etc. You can see a sample of typical results on the breakfast page of our B&B website. It is tasty and nutritious, "setting up" our guests for the days excursions. A few recipes are also on the website including our favoured Fruit Fool which also makes for a quick yummy dessert.

We hope you will be able to enjoy it soon too!

Xerox Invents “Self-erasing” Paper

Xerox is looking to venture outside the office world you’ve associated it with. Seems now it’s aiming to make tree-hugging hippies smile with erasable paper. The paper automatically clears itself after a 24-hour waiting period and can then be used again and again, up to 100 times. It may not be a zero-watt monitor, but hey, it beats sitting there with an eraser for ten minutes.

How does it work? Glad you asked:

The paper contains specially coded molecules that create a print after being exposed to ultraviolet light emitted from a thin bar in a printer. The molecule readjusts itself within 24 hours to its original form to delete the print, or heat can readjust the molecule instantly. Xerox developed the molecule.

The ultraviolet bar itself is very small, so it can be used in mobile printers, Shrader said. The technology could also be useful for network printing.

Doesn’t sound easy. What do you think? Will companies and consumers give in to this new kind of paper when it becomes mainstream? Is it cost effective? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Link (via)

One comment

  1. Now that is cool. But I wonder how much the ink and paper will cost you? Maybe its not so cost effective even though it may be green effective. Which begs the question, why does green technology have to cost so much?

GED® Test Study Guide

A Complete Lesson Plan For Passing the General Educational Development Test

The GED® test, or the General Educational Development Test, is designed to reflect the educational level of a twelfth grade student who is expected to earn his or her high school diploma. Passing this exam earns you a certificate that the vast majority of colleges, training schools, and employers in the nation recognize to be the equivalent of a high school diploma. Over one million people take the GED® exam every year worldwide, and of these, about 70% pass. The average age of a GED® test-taker is over 24 (over 30 in Canada) and almost three-fourths of test-takers are over the age 19, proving that it is never too late to receive the recognition and benefits of GED® certification.

So Why Choose to Take the GED® exam?
The GED® credential is highly regarded by both colleges and employers.  In fact, the American Council on GED® testing reports that nearly all employers throughout the nation are prepared to offer the same benefits, wages, and opportunities for advancement to GED® graduates as they are to regular high school graduates.

Students and adults choose to take the GED® test for a variety of reasons and at different stages of their lives. Many people make the decision to take the GED® exam to improve their resumes and consequently the likelihood of obtaining good employment. Others take the test to further their current careers, to qualify for military service, or to apply for college. One of the authors of this course took her GED® test and went on to achieve straight A's in college, graduating with a 4.0! It is estimated that approximately two-thirds of people who choose to take the GED® test do so to work towards degrees, whether they be in trade, business, or technical education. A recent study showed that the majority of GED® graduates saw improvements in their employment status, financial success and even in their psychological and physical health after passing the exam!

The questions on the GED® exam are meant to assess your ability to communicate effectively, process information, and to employ critical thinking. There is a marked emphasis on questions that prepare you for entering further education or for entering a new work environment. As a result, a lot of your experience outside the classroom will come in handy in taking the test — informal learning through employment and other forms of training may help you in passing the exam’s five different sections.
The following lessons are meant to help you succeed in the exam by familiarizing you with the test’s basic format and highlighting the essential material that will be tested. In addition, this study guide will introduce you to some simple strategies and test-taking tips that can drastically improve your overall score. These will help you to get through questions, even when you have no idea what the answer should be, show you how to pace yourself, and teach you how to avoid common mistakes that many GED® test-takers make. Sample test questions and practice exams are included — it is very important that you utilize these questions in your preparation. Taking practice exams will get you used to the time constraints and the order of the actual exam, and help you to assess how much more preparation you may need. Do your best with these - read through the lessons, and do your best!

Q:  Am I able to take the GED® test more than once if I do not pass the first time?
A: The answer is yes, though certain states require that you wait a period of time before re-taking the test. To be certain about if you have to wait and how long the waiting period might be, you can contact your local GED® Testing Center for more information.

Q:  When and where is the GED® test administered?
A:  The exams are administered throughout the year at designated locations nationwide. You can generally find this information at local high schools or adult schools, GED® Testing Centers, or on the internet at, a web-site that is a good resource for all information regarding the GED® test.

Q:  Who administers the GED® exam?
A: The test is administered by the General Educational Development Testing Service of the American Council on Education (ACE).

Q:  What percentage of questions do I need to answer correctly to pass the exam?
A: Generally, you need to answer an average of 50-60% of the questions correctly in each section to pass. This percentage varies from state to state.

Q:  Does the test have to be taken all at once or can I take it in sections?
A: Every state has its own rules regarding the exam. In some states, you will be required to take the entire exam in one day. In other states, the laws are more flexible and you can take the individual sections bit by bit, as you feel ready for them. Some states require that you take the exam over a two-day period. Contact ACE to find out about your own state’s laws.

Q: What will happen if you pass some sections of the GED® exam but not the others?
A: Most states require you to retake only the sections that you did not pass the first time. However, some states encourage you to retake the entire test. This is because only your best scores are kept. When you take the test again, you will be given a completely different set of questions and your results could improve.

Q:  Is there any reason why I should try and do better than just pass the GED® test? Will higher scores in certain sections be an advantage?
A: This completely depends on your goals. While some colleges do offer scholarships for those with high GED® test scores, most do not. Regardless of whether you barely pass or get a perfect score, you still pass the exam. As a general rule, it is a good idea to study enough so that you will pass the GED® exam, but you should not focus on trying to answer every single question correctly, as that may be an unrealistic goal.

Get Creative with LinkedIn’s API

One of the most obvious differences between LinkedIn and its social media rivals, Facebook and Twitter, is its reach. It’s not easy these days to wander onto a Web page that doesn’t invite you to send a link to your Twitter followers or share the page with your Facebook friends. LinkedIn buttons? Not so much.

That might seem surprising. LinkedIn is popular both with users, who now number more than 100 million worldwide, and with investors. (The company’s stock finished up 109 percent on its first day of trading recently, the fifth-largest opening rise since the bursting of the dotcom bubble.) But it also has a lot to do with LinkedIn’s own slowness to make easy site integration available.

That, at least, is now changing. The relaunch of the site’s developer platform with an open set of APIs and the adoption of OAuth has now made integrating LinkedIn easier than ever for developers. “In Share” buttons are now beginning to appear on Web pages, competing for space and clicks with Facebook’s Like and Twitter’s Tweet. (You can see one in action at the top of this page on a blog about recruitment).

LinkedIn Beats Facebook on Mashable

Mashable has been one site quick to make use of the buttons. The tech blog places a Facebook Like button next to its articles, as well as icons for Twitter, StumbleUpon, Tumblr and, on some pages, LinkedIn. A quick look at the frequency with which those buttons are used shows that pages typically pick up more Tweets than LinkedIn Shares, and more Shares than Likes. This post about Groupon, for example, had picked up 1,209 tweets eleven hours after it went up, compared to 55 Likes and 210 LinkedIn Shares. This post about marketing on Facebook, however, generated 256 Shares in less than half an hour, which might suggest that users like to show potential employers that they’re up to date with social media marketing techniques.

The site’s use of LinkedIn though isn’t limited to sharing buttons. Mashable has also integrated LinkedIn with Mashable Follow, its “social sharing and content curation platform,” a move only made possible by LinkedIn’s recent adoption of OAuth.

“We are able to authenticate users using our existing OAuth support framework,” Chris Heald, Follow’s lead developer told readers. “Once users are authenticated, we can use their authorization tokens to make calls to the LinkedIn API to easily conduct the shares.”

Mashable though isn’t the only site to make use of LinkedIn’s new openness. Other sites are lining up to do the same, and in various ways. Behance, a portfolio platform for creative professionals, declares that having uploaded their work, members can “at the touch of a button” broadcast their work on Facebook and Twitter, “as well as sync with LinkedIn.”

LinkedIn Sells Expertise by the Minute

Elegant.ly is also aimed at creatives, this time focusing on new designers. The service hopes to match starting designers with new start-up companies in a kind of pauper’s marriage. It uses LinkedIn’s OAuth integration to enable new members to sign in without having to complete pages of registration forms.

Both of those sites though only make use of LinkedIn’s smart new API to help the networking service do what it’s supposed to do more efficiently. LinkedIn’s main role has always been to help people find work; both Behance and Elegant.ly make job-seeking a little easier by focusing on one niche industry and making the information available on the site readily accessible to people who might be looking to hire professionals in those industries.

MinuteBox is a little more creative. This service also mines LinkedIn’s database to bring professional help to people who need it, but it offers not skills but knowledge. That’s a fairly unique approach and an interesting twist on the usual way in which professionals market themselves. Instead of pitching for full-time or freelance jobs, MinuteBox allows LinkedIn’s members to offer professional advice for which they can charge on a minute-by-minute basis. The information is delivered through video, audio or text chat and the interaction conducted through MinuteBox but the trust is built through an impressive portfolio on LinkedIn.

Move away from LinkedIn’s main function as a way for people with skills and knowledge to sell their expertise, and things start to get a little murkier, even with LinkedIn’s new API. SociallyApp is a smartphone app that tries to integrate a phone’s functions with all of the information streaming through multiple social networks. Those networks include Facebook and Twitter, of course, but also draw on Foursquare and LinkedIn. The app collates the data, adding the latest Facebook picture to contact lists, for example, or placing birthdays on calendars.

But it’s not easy to see what the benefits might be for users of LinkedIn, beyond adding loose connections to a contact list and forcing the phone user to scroll through more names than he’d like before he can call home.

The challenge for LinkedIn — and for developers hoping to make use of its API — is that the site is not the kind of news streaming service that has made Facebook and Twitter so valuable. (The former for news about friends and family; the latter for updates and chat from industry insiders.) It’s too formal for casual browsing and the reasons for networking on the site are too obviously commercial for the kinds of loose chat that can make even Twitter so much fun. While Facebook is like chatting with friends and Twitter is hanging out at the watercooler, LinkedIn still feels like the kind of professional networking occasion at which everyone wears name tags and tries not to eat with mouth full of canapés.

None of that is to say that LinkedIn isn’t useful. It clearly is as its 100 million users and happy investors will tell you. It’s a valuable service that can help match the career-minded to new opportunities and businesses to talented individuals. Whether it can compete with the flexibility of Twitter and Facebook, even with its new API, remains to be seen.

Commitment Rings (75)

About Commitment Rings

The exchanging of rings to mark love and commitment is as old as human culture. We give those we love rings to celebrate our union, to symbolize a shared life, and to express love. Commitment rings are worn on the third finger of the left hand because our ancestors believed that veins from that finger ran straight to the heart. Today couples choose rings that express their unique bond so ring styles are more individual and expressive than ever before. Symbols, gems, and personal engravings add your personality into the ring.

Consider a birthstone commitment ring: adding your partner's birthstone or your two birthstones to your rings allows you to keep each other close at hand always. Symbols like the infinity symbol, the triqueta, and eternity bands with gems all the way around the finger are a strong statement of the depth of your commitment. Precious metals and gems stand for the preciousness of your vows. Consider choosing gold or platinum for your commitment rings so they will stand the test of time, just like your relationship.

GenealogyWise -- all's well that ends well

Fast work and an immediate response from the staff at GenealogyWise seems to have stemmed the tide of spam for the time being. Thanks to their rapid response, the issue was resolved by having the blog posts reviewed before going online. I might suggest that given some time, there could be a way to automate that procedure by having a holding file where the titles and text could be reviewed more rapidly. It might be a good idea to require an image review or transcription before allowing anything to be posted, like FaceBook.

FDA Clears Shionogi’s Nonstimulant ADHD Therapy

  • Shionogi gained approval of the nonstimulant medication Kapvay™ (clonidine hydrochloride), an extended-release oral formulation for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents ages 6–17 years. Kapvay is reportedly the only formulation of clonidine hydrochloride approved by the FDA for the treatment of ADHD and is the first FDA-approved ADHD treatment indicated for use as add-on therapy to stimulant medication. The drug can also be used as monotherapy when treating ADHD.

    An oral, nonstimulant, twice-daily therapy, Kapvay is a centrally acting alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist. While the mechanism of action of alpha2 agonists in ADHD is not known, it is believed to involve the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of the brain. Studies suggest that the PFC regulates attention and plays a critical role in impulse control, working memory, and executive function.

    “The extended-release formulation of Kapvay minimizes the peaks and troughs in blood levels, thereby decreasing overactivation of the alpha receptors in the brain and periphery,” explains Donald C. Manning, M.D., Ph.D., CMO of Shionogi.

    FDA sanction of Kapvay is based on two Phase III studies, which demonstrated efficacy at five weeks. Children and adolescents (6–17 years) with ADHD treated with Kapvay experienced statistically significant improvements in core symptoms of ADHD: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

    The most common and drug-related adverse reactions included somnolence, fatigue, upper respiratory tract infection (cough, rhinitis, sneezing), irritability, throat pain (sore throat), insomnia, nightmares, emotional disorder, constipation, nasal congestion, increased body temperature, drug mouth, and ear pain.  Maintenance efficacy has not been systemically evaluated, and patients who are continued on longer-term treatment require periodic reassessment.

Other Treatments for Sinusitis

For Managing Congestion

Inhale Steam

Even though studies have not been performed to evaluate its benefit, some people find that inhaling steam can be very soothing in the management of acute sinusitis. Studies do show a small benefit when steam is used in this way to treat symptoms of the common cold .
One way to use steam treatment is to fill a bowl with steamy hot water. Then lean over the bowl in a comfortable position, and drape a towel over the bowl and your head to keep the steam in. Relax and breathe in the steam for about ten minutes at a time. You can repeat this several times a day. Be careful not to scald your face by touching the water. You can also find steam inhalers made for this purpose in stores. You can also try hot packs over your face several times a day.

Saline Nasal Sprays/Nasal Irrigation

Some doctors recommend a nasal irrigation device and warm salt solution to wash out your sinuses and nasal passages. Check with your doctor to see if she recommends a particular device. Nasal irrigation is most often used in the management of chronic sinusitis. There is some evidence that it may be helpful and little to suggest that it is harmful.

Call for Guest Blog Posts for the Virtual Geography Conference

While the lucky geographers get to attend the Association of American Geographers conference in New York from February 24th to the 28th, I will be hosting a virtual convention with (hopefully) readers placing their presentations online.  However, I am also opening up the blog to guest posts.  If you want to write about anything related to geography, no matter how short or how long, contact me (catholicgauze at gmail dot com) and you will have your very own forum to share your knowledge and insight!

Are you saying you will host postings from readers during the actual conference days?

Catholicgauze said...

Yes I will!

If its alright, I have a few posts in mind (a few geography book reviews/comparisons) and a few primers on changing family geographies.
