Advertisers Calculate the Value of "Friends'
 
Because of email and social networks, we now keep in contact with people who would have drifted away before these tools came to be.
Almost every business contact can lead to an invitation for a "friendship" on Linkedin  
or Facebook.
Advertisers are using powerful computers that are beginning to explore what these relationships say about us as consumers and workers. They are finding, for example, that if we buy something, there's a better-than-average chance that our friends will buy it too. It could lead to
targeted messaging.
Big companies are researching employee relationships hoping to speed the flow of knowledge and the generation of ideas among their ranks, according to Business Week.

Amature Race Car Drivers Get Their Big Chance

Hundreds of regular guys who do something else for a living are fulfilling their race-car-driver dreams in a Formula Ford race car.
In 2009, drivers marked the 40th anniversary of Formula Ford, one of the most popular classes in the field of amateur racing. The cars are smaller, Indy-car-looking machines with four-cylinder engines.
It's not a poor man's sport. The drivers have no sponsors and buy their own cars, their own tires, equipment and tools. The tires cost about $200 each.
Some drivers have more passion about racing than money to do it. For them, it's not unusual to find a Formula Ford or Formula Vee for sale on the Internet for about the price of a used Acura, plus trailers, parts, tires and tools.
These racers are generally referred to as "wrench turners," who make a hobby of working on their cars and doing their own repairs. Finding parts for older race cars can be a challenge.
Amateur races are organized by the Sports Car Club of America. It has 60,000 members, many of whom compete in their 2,000 races each year.

What Happended in October?
* On October 15, 1989, 28-year-old Los Angeles King Wayne Gretzky breaks Gordie Howe's points record (1,850) in the final period of a game against the Edmonton Oilers.
* On October 16, 1912, New York Giants outfielder Fred Snodgrass drops an easy pop-up in the 10th inning of the tiebreaking eighth game of the World Series against the Red Sox.
* On October 17, 1968, Olympic gold medalist Tommie Smith and bronze medalist John Carlos are forced to return their awards because they raised their fists in a black-power salute during the medal ceremony.
* On October 18, 1977, in the sixth game of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees outfielder Reggie Jackson hits three home runs in a row off of three consecutive pitches from three different pitchers.
Staying Well
 
The best times and best ways to wash up:
 
* Wash your hands before lunch, especially after a meeting or church service where everybody shakes hands.
 
* Wash after you use the bathroom, change a diaper, sneeze, cough or blow your nose.
 
* Do it after you ride on public transportation or go shopping.
 
* Sanitize or wash every couple of hours during cold and flu season. Germs stay on door handles, desks, pens and everything people touch.
 
Here's how to wash:
 
Use soap and water if it's available. Studies show it removes more viruses than alcohol-based hand rubs.
 
Use enough soap to work up a lather. Lace your fingers together to cover all surfaces and rub the finger tips of each hand on the other hand.
 
Wash for about 15 seconds or as long as it takes to sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
Apollo 11 Mission

     This is the 40th year since man and technology landed on the moon.
No television personality will ever attract as large an audience as Neil Armstrong did. When he made his "giant leap for mankind" on the moon, more than 600 million people around the world were watching.
Michael Collins kept the Apollo circling overhead as Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the "Sea of Tranquility."
Now, four decades later, the complexity and magnitude of the mission is still amazing.
In his book, Rocket Men, Craig Nelson delves into the technological aspects of the mission. He says NASA's 129-million-cubic-foot Vehicle Assembly Building had doors 45 stories high and a 10,000-ton air conditioner. If it wasn't running, clouds would form in the building and rain would fall.
Transporting the 363-foot Apollo and the Saturn V rocket five miles to the landing pad was accomplished by the "Crawler," the world's largest land vehicle. It weighed six million pounds and moved at one mile an hour. It was almost as heavy as the Apollo-Saturn V rocket, which weighed about 6.5 million pounds.
The Saturn V engine burned 10,000 pounds of fuel per second while breaking away from the earth's gravity. It reached 24,182 mph, 10 times faster than a bullet from a Winchester .270.
 

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

                             President John F. Kennedy                       

 Get Free Marketing and Free Information on Twitter
     
 Software companies are providing a multitude of tools that simplify tasks on Twitter. Many are free.
Some software lets you automatically search for Twitter posts and tweets that mention your company.
 
Others let you organize the tweets you follow.
Twitter says it will soon offer new features for commercial users, such as a directory of
business users.
 
For many small companies, keeping track of who's tweeting about them is a chore. You can search for your company name or other keyword, but to get an accurate picture of what is being said, you have to do it regularly. If you don't, the tweets pile up and you could miss important information.
 
If a negative comment is made about your business, it could be something you can address or fix. Or it could be a misconception you could correct.
 
TweetBeep from Inblosam LLC will send you an hourly email alert listing tweets about your company. It will also maintain a log of who's tweeting you.
 
One of the most popular activities is passing along links to articles. People often add their own comments. A new service from bit.ly counts the clicks on those links.
Get More Fiber for Better Health
  
If you need fiber but don't like broccoli, and black beans make you look the other way, you can
skip them.
 
There's a big list of other foods to choose from.
Fiber helps to move food through your digestive system. On the way, it can improve your cholesterol numbers and lower your blood sugar. It also does things you don't regularly talk about such as reducing the risk of constipation, hemorrhoids
and diverticulitis.
 
Most Americans get only 15 grams of fiber a day instead of the 19 recommended for women and 38 for men. If you're 51 or over, it's 21 grams for women and 30 grams for men.
 
* Fruits and nuts provide a gram or two per serving, but the Mayo Clinic says pears, apples, raspberries, bananas and oranges have 3 to 5 grams.
 
* Among vegetables, you will get 4 to 5 grams from just a half cup of green beans, squash, baked beans or sweet potatoes.
 
* Some common cereals are good choices. Two shredded wheat biscuits, for example, have 5.5 grams, and a cup of Post Raisin Bran has 7.1 grams.
 
* If you really want to catch up on your fiber intake, some products are designed to do just that:
 
Kellogg's All-Bran Buds, 1/3 cup, 12.9 grams
 
General Mills Fiber One, 1/2 cup,
14.2 grams
 
Post 100% Bran, 1/3 cup, 8.3 grams
 
Kashi GoLean, 1 cup, 10.2 grams
 
General Mills Fiber One (1 bar),
9.0 grams
 
For a snack:                                     2peoplecruise
 
3 cups of popcorn has 3.3 grams.
