Dot.com craze produced the number of newly minted millionaires, but many of them are lost almost as quickly as it got. Now maybe some of them regret that they did not spend more dollars on the real thing. I remember a classmate who was holding 550.000 shares of the company insider, which he helped found, a manufacturer of Internet components.
The company entered the public with a price of about $ 16 per share, and over the next few months, abruptly soared to a peak of about $ 120. For the price of our friend, was worth approximately $ 66 million. Do you think he retired and plays golf three times a week, but in fact he works 9 to 5, like most of us. Almost all of his shares were restricted for sale within the stellar rise and fall of stocks, so that he could not make a profit, which would enable him to become rich.
The only evidence that remained of his fleeting wealth - a house for 5 million in a suburb of Boston, which he bought for cash. Now he makes enough to keep house and pay taxes on it, but he could not afford to buy it today. The lesson here is that the fantastic profits, you can fuck in the stock market - just a lot of numbers in a computer Statement if we can not spend it. Some traders in Forex apparently believe that their goal - the accumulation of a large number of digits in the account. But they quickly get bored if the electron does not gain continues to accumulate with ever-increasing speed.
If you sell at a profit, it is useful from time to time to spend money on something tangible - whether it's a box of Cuban cigars or a vacation with his wife in Rio de Janeiro, or a new chair for your office. It will remind you that the blood, sweat and tears shed in transactions not in vain.

Why Integrating Social Media With Traditional Media Is Hard?
Integrating social media into your existing media — advertising and public relations, is challenging. But, without integration across platforms you risk diluting your brand, wasting marketing efforts, and lower sales.
Since integrating social media with your traditional media is so important, let’s take a look at why it’s so hard.
While this difference may seem obvious, it makes a huge difference in your communications.
With social media you can’t just talk about yourself, you have to share more personal information about the people involved, and you need to create content that’s valuable to your network.
You have to engage your audience in social media so developing tactics to get them involved are critical.
People talk back in social media and sometimes you don’t like what they have to say — this creates a blending of social media and customer service that requires a mechanism for addressing complaints voiced on your social networks.
Contests or other tactics that give rewards to folks “Like” you or share your content. For instance, Social Media Examiner was running a contest for folks who Tweeted about their Facebook Summit with the winner getting admission to the event. This ensures your attracting folks who are part of your target audience rather than random followers who just want to win something.
Support a cause your audience supports. This worked for Purina. They gave away a bowl of dog food to animal shelters for every person who “Liked” their Facebook fanpage and gave a bag of dog food for everyone who blogged about the charitable project.
Acknowledge folks, people love being recognized and, if you fail to thank them for their support, they'll stop supporting you. For instance, Guy Kawasaki responds personally to everyone who writes on his Facebook wall — so does Mari Smith, although she has a little help from her staff. I make a habit of responding to every comment on my blog, every +1, every RT, and thank folks for every share of my content (except those who rip off my content).
Bean counter types don’t like these squishy metrics — they want ROI. But remember, traditional media are great for creating immediate sales increases, but they’re expensive and their value erodes quickly once the campaign is over. Social media is like a slow burn — it smolders forever creating a steady heat over an extended period of time. It’s also harder to link social media efforts directly with sales.
Traditional media comes from older folks with broadcast and PR expertise. Or an advertising agency.
These folks don’t speak the same language or understand each other very well. And, they may not work together well — they may even be in different building or cities. This makes collaboration and integration of social media and traditional media difficult.
Since integrating social media with your traditional media is so important, let’s take a look at why it’s so hard.
Why Integrating Social Media is so Hard ?
1. The platforms are different.
Traditional media are one-way communications where you talk at your market, while social media is a two-way conversation where you talk with your market.While this difference may seem obvious, it makes a huge difference in your communications.
With social media you can’t just talk about yourself, you have to share more personal information about the people involved, and you need to create content that’s valuable to your network.
You have to engage your audience in social media so developing tactics to get them involved are critical.
People talk back in social media and sometimes you don’t like what they have to say — this creates a blending of social media and customer service that requires a mechanism for addressing complaints voiced on your social networks.
2. You need to give them something to link with you in social media.
Remember, you’re not paying for programming they’ll enjoy — like a TV program — so you need to “pay” your followers something to get them to listen to you. What kinds of motivation work in social media:Contests or other tactics that give rewards to folks “Like” you or share your content. For instance, Social Media Examiner was running a contest for folks who Tweeted about their Facebook Summit with the winner getting admission to the event. This ensures your attracting folks who are part of your target audience rather than random followers who just want to win something.
Support a cause your audience supports. This worked for Purina. They gave away a bowl of dog food to animal shelters for every person who “Liked” their Facebook fanpage and gave a bag of dog food for everyone who blogged about the charitable project.
Acknowledge folks, people love being recognized and, if you fail to thank them for their support, they'll stop supporting you. For instance, Guy Kawasaki responds personally to everyone who writes on his Facebook wall — so does Mari Smith, although she has a little help from her staff. I make a habit of responding to every comment on my blog, every +1, every RT, and thank folks for every share of my content (except those who rip off my content).
3. The metrics are different.
In traditional media, you’re trying to sell product so the metrics are sales or return on investment (ROI). In social media, you’re trying to build relationships so metrics are harder to come by. What you’d really like to measure is engagement, but you have to settle for things like # of comments, # of shares (Tweets, +1s, Facebook Likes …), Klout scores (which measure your online influence), and buzz (folks talking about your brand in social media).Bean counter types don’t like these squishy metrics — they want ROI. But remember, traditional media are great for creating immediate sales increases, but they’re expensive and their value erodes quickly once the campaign is over. Social media is like a slow burn — it smolders forever creating a steady heat over an extended period of time. It’s also harder to link social media efforts directly with sales.
4. Social media and traditional media are often handled by different employees or agencies.
Social media is often handled by young folks with technical expertise (such as computer folks) or with a journalism background. Or by a social media agency or consultant.Traditional media comes from older folks with broadcast and PR expertise. Or an advertising agency.
These folks don’t speak the same language or understand each other very well. And, they may not work together well — they may even be in different building or cities. This makes collaboration and integration of social media and traditional media difficult.
5. Integrating Social Media and traditional marketing requires specialized skills.
Integrating social media and traditional media requires a detailed understanding of both platforms and a thorough understanding of the marketing and consumer behavior concepts that underpin success in both platforms. And NEITHER of your social media or traditional marketing team may know anything about marketing and consumer behavior. Hiring someone to brand your products who doesn’t KNOW marketing is like hiring an accountant who never took an accounting class. They can do it, but it isn’t RIGHT.

How I Uncovered Twitter’s Trending Topics “Secrets”
Some people asked where I got my information from for the article “Six Secrets About Whether Twitter Censors Trending Topics” at the Buffer Twitter Tools and Twitter Management blog. I have written this post to address that.
99% of the “controversy” about Trending Topics that I've seen is of two types:
They think it didn't trend, but it did—they simply missed it when it did;
They don't understand why popular topics don't keep trending. If they did, Trends would be mostly things like “love,” “hate,” “Justin Bieber,” etc. Trending is about more than just simple popularity.
(In other words, most “controversies” are based on misinformation.)
I’ve relied on three sources of information for determining how Trending Topics are calculated/. By combining information from these three sources, I’ve come to certain conclusions. Some conclusions are clearly true; some are only possibly true.
I’ve then taken the conclusions and looked at the information again, to see if it helps gain further insight into the source information.
1. Info from Twitter explaining how trending topics are calculated.
1.Sometimes a topic doesn’t break into the Trends list because its popularity isn’t as widespread as people believe.
2.Sometimes, popular terms don’t make the Trends list because the velocity of conversation isn’t increasing quickly enough, relative to the baseline level of conversation happening on an average day.
3.Topics break into the Trends list when the volume of Tweets about that topic at a given moment dramatically increases.
4.Twitter Trends are automatically generated by an algorithm that attempts to identify topics that are being talked about more right now than they were previously.
5.The Trends list captures the hottest emerging topics, not just what’s most popular.
1.The following behaviors and others like them could cause your account to be filtered from search or even suspended…Repeatedly Tweeting the same topic/hashtag without adding value to the conversation in an attempt to get the topic trending/trending higher.
2.The most important thing is to make sure your Tweets are genuine thoughts or impressions and not attempts to insert yourself into a trend. Everyone who clicks on the trending topics should be able to see real people’s ideas and links to further relevant information.
2.The…algorithm only accounts for interesting peaks: sudden increases that mark an emerging trend.
3.Twitter used to rank popularity by volume, but changed the algorithm.
4.…the Bieber effect; becoming part of the constant background noise like love, hate, Christmas [etc.]
…would clearly be popular primarily in the U.S., e.g. use slang primarily popular in the U.S.
…trend worldwide, so location data is irrelevant.
When the algorithm was first introduced, Justin Bieber fans made an enormous effort to create a volume of tweets higher than anything they had previously achieved when they saw that their usual efforts didn’t cause trending. Despite having a very organized network that was repeatedly successful in creating high tweet volumes of his name before, they were unsuccessful afterwards. It can’t only be “lack of novelty” that caused the topic to trend, since it is possible. It appears to have been “the same people saying the same thing” not being counted highly.
Twitter says, in the same article, “Topics break into the Trends list when the volume of Tweets about that topic at a given moment dramatically increases.” but also says “Sometimes a topic doesn’t break into the Trends list because its popularity isn’t as widespread as people believe.” The first quote indicates that “volume” is required, the second that “widespread” popularity is required. The implication is that “widespread” does not mean the same thing as “volume.” Volume would be a count of tweets, but “widespreadness” would be a count mainly of people, or variations in geographic area with the same trending area. This is admittedly not definitive, but considering in particular point #2 above, this seems to be the case.
Twitter does say that the same person “Repeatedly Tweeting the same topic/hashtag … in an attempt to get the topic trending/trending higher” may be filtered out from counting toward the topic. This indicates there is at least one mechanism for counting volume but eliminating some people.

4.…the Bieber effect; becoming part of the constant background noise like love, hate, Christmas [etc.]
2. Investigating how the volume of tweets affects topics that have trended
Because it’s hard to know what localization data Twitter is using, I’ve only paid much attention to observations about volume vs. trending for topics, that:…would clearly be popular primarily in the U.S., e.g. use slang primarily popular in the U.S.
…trend worldwide, so location data is irrelevant.
Conclusion
I have seen topics that trended a second time in the same area, so it is not impossible. Of particular note is that this means there is likely something in addition to volume that is not novelty that can cause a second trend. I think that something is new people tweeting about the topic (in addition to sufficient volume).When the algorithm was first introduced, Justin Bieber fans made an enormous effort to create a volume of tweets higher than anything they had previously achieved when they saw that their usual efforts didn’t cause trending. Despite having a very organized network that was repeatedly successful in creating high tweet volumes of his name before, they were unsuccessful afterwards. It can’t only be “lack of novelty” that caused the topic to trend, since it is possible. It appears to have been “the same people saying the same thing” not being counted highly.

Here, a brief recap of the season's top trends.
2012 Paris S/S Fashion Week: Isabel Marant
It doesn't take much for us to go dizzy over Izzy, but somehow, Isabel Marant's Spring collection has left us more enamoured than ever before. Marant has the Parisian-cool look down pat, as seen in the array of sexy hand-knit dresses, doodle-print jeans, and minidresses she sent down the runway. It was the perfect balance of rock-star-meets-bohemian, as even more evidenced in pastel patchwork pieces paired with cozy knits, and fringed sweaters with snakeskin-print pants. Meanwhile, partywear options were provided via body-hugging minidresses made in tie-dye and metallic prints. Marant also showed off her sporty side with football tees and surprisingly chic track pants. Leave it to Marant to make sweatpants and tees look so good. After all, there's a reason why the designer has such a cult following. Please Isabel, can we have some more?
Colours: Pastels, blue, yellow, red, black, orange, pink, purple.
Key Look: The sexy knitted dresses and patchwork pieces.
Accessories: Sexy chain-embellished ankle-wrap sandals in metallic hues.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave Parisian-cool looks like Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller.

Women are making progress on Forex
Despite the fact that in society there is a perception about the dominance of men over women in the field of foreign exchange dealing, women are making headway in the Forex market is not the first year. This can be seen by visiting any courses for foreign exchange dealing in Forex.
If you decide that this is due to the fact that men prefer to learn independently through the Internet, reading books, attending on-line conference, you may be right. But just want to highlight one inconspicuous but very important fact that women are more diligent, sustained and patient. A woman can admit that she does not understand the principles of trade in the Forex market and visit paid courses to gain the knowledge, instruction, create a trading strategy and follow it patiently, waiting for sleep to correct trading signals, clearly show the stop-loss and take-profit.

Forex you can earn as much as you want. Of course, it all depends on sales and profitability of the deposit of your strategy. However, even implementing a trading strategy to the profitability of 10-15 percent per month, you can earn a steady unimaginable amounts of money, and for several years to become full-fledged millionaire. To achieve this goal, you can use two methods:

2. attract investors. Of course, in such cases will need to divide the profits, but profits will be more substantial, although profitability in percentage terms would remain the same.
If these two methods are combined, the result can be achieved much earlier. Here, as the saying goes, everything in your hands.

What to choose: Forex or the stock market?
Let us consider the main differences between Forex and Stock Market:
- The stock market and forex has a large number of professional companies with excellent recommendations, which have high-quality service;
- The stock market and forex, to reduce the risk associated with losses provides insurance. Diversify your portfolio, you will have an opportunity to purchase a forex - different currency pairs, the stock market - shares of various companies. This will insure you against unexpected losses.
- To work and get the earned money in the stock market, you must have a bank account in the derivation of money you will need to pay taxes. In forex, there are various possible withdrawal, and the taxes will not have to pay.
- The main goal as a Forex, as well as the stock market is to get the most profit during the purchasing and selling currencies or stocks. Many believe that investing money in the stock market is much stronger than in Forex trading, as shares of a stable currency.
Both these markets have many advantages and disadvantages, you need plenty of time to enumerate them. Everyone should take a decision himself, based on their knowledge and experience, where he will be better to trade. But it is worth remembering that the Forex market is more resistant to a variety of swings in the economy. When the world is experiencing any shocks, it will affect particularly the stock market. When the economic crisis in one country, instantly and drags along another. And with the fall of the one currency rises another automatically. As a trader to get the maximum profit you will need to analyze the market's behavior and to control the movement of currency pairs.

What is Forex?
At this time, often offer a lot of money easily and effortlessly in the Forex market. What is it? Forex - the international currency market, the essence of bargaining which is buying and selling currencies and in receipt of these operations, some profit. Participants in this market are banks and various organizations, which have in their back big enough funds. Immediately begs the question, but what are we, ordinary people? The fact that the average person, just like banks, may sell and buy foreign currency, only in smaller scales. To participate in this market should open an account with a certain amount of money. This account will fund and through which trade will be done, and you can make a profit. Typically, brokers the trading on Forex - market are dealing companies that are online.
It seems that this complex? Invested, and sit quietly, wait, when they will be more. But there are many versions about what Forex - is a solid "sell" a fraud. Let's look at it. We have already determined that the operations in this market are held by intermediaries, so it happens that they become subject to "dishonest" people. To avoid such troubles, you need to work with reliable people, and you should alert too great deals, check to see if what the catch. Some people believe that Forex - is a big risk.

Overview of Google Plus
In this article we'll show you what is Google Plus.
Google has previously tried to unite the entire audience in one service, but unsuccessfully. And now a new attempt - Google Plus. To the naked eye can see that Google Plus coolest past attempts to Google. Cool, minimalist design, excellent performance, innovative idea with the circles in the form of "Friends" and competent relationship with all the services Google.
In fact, Google Plus - the same Facebook, or MySpace. Instead of "Walls" - "Tape", but work with it much more convenient, and navigation is competently implemented. There are hot keys, combined with Google Reader. In the tape is inserted into any media content, with the ability to comment - a standard social feature.
The design is executed in the new minimalist style, looks very neat and beautiful. Still possible to choose a theme, so far, from a list that offers the service itself Google Plus.
The main feature of the new network are the Google Plus circles of contacts. With the help of these circles can be very useful to sort all your contacts in different spheres of activity. It's better just to see. The meaning of their work is that for each round you can customize, for example, different privacy. Implemented in a very high technological level.
Another feature of Google Plus is video conferencing. Corporate segment Facebook angry, and goes to the social networking site from Google. This service is free, minimal, and can be connected at once, with ten people and not only. True, the video function more buggy. The picture quality leaves much to be desired, but generally lags behind the audio so ... But, still, a terrible cross-browser compatibility.
In video conferences themselves built itself a cool feature - insert videos from YouTube in real time!
Insert a YouTube video of Google Plus the social network from Google, ie you can directly go to show the video to a friend, discussing it in parallel, or talking point.
Very tight integration with Google Plus service Picasa. The ability to store photos of great size, though how much, and video up to 15 minutes - for free! All photos are displayed as one large wall.
The most important question - whether to compete Google+ with Facebook?
If do - a very bright future in the form of one billion active users, and the subsequent conquest of the market of social networking.
If not - Facebook will kill Google Plus.
That ended our review of Google Plus.

Dead Birds & Fish: What's REALLY Going on in Arkansas
First it was more than 1,000 dead birds that fell in a 1-mile radius in Beebe, Arkansas that had us freaked. Dead things dropping from the sky on New Year's Day? Is it the sign of the apocalypse? Then things got really creepy. We found out more than 100,000 dead fish were found floating in the Arkansas River just days before.
Together they leave us with two choices: curl up in a corner and start rocking or figure out what the heck is causing it so we can move on with our lives. We're going with the latter. Here's what's really causing all those dead animals in Arkansas.
The government killed them:
What would a new year be without some new wacky "the government is out to get you" theories? Popping up all over the web is the phrase "Some believe that secret undercover government weapons testing is the cause of the rash of wildlife deaths there." Some do seem to believe it, but none offer up anything other than their beliefs. Maybe some facts would make us feel like these people were more than bird brains.
Fireworks killed the birds:
The bodies of the birds showed physical trauma akin to lightning or hail. But considering it was New Year's Day, Keith Stephens of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission told CNN:
If someone was to shoot fireworks in an area where they were roosting, while they were asleep, then that could have been what caused their deaths.
If that's true, why hasn't the pyrotechnician come clean? Arkansas is a state where fireworks are legal, so he shouldn't be in any trouble.
Disease killed the fish:
Only dead drum fish died, which actually makes this easier to figure out than the birds. If there were a pollutant in the water, it should have affected everything in the river. But with only one species of floaters, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (boy those folks have their hands in everything these days) are calling this one for disease. Now for the big question: could the birds have snacked on the fish?
Poison killed them both:
We've already ruled it out for the fish, but what about the birds? Actually, that's a negative too. The birds' stomachs were empty. Although mine would be empty if I ate something that gave me the runs too ...
Weather killed the birds:
When in doubt, blame it on the weather. Birds don't fare so well when their coats get soaked, and there was a storm that blew through Arkansas late last week. So they could have died from exposure or been confused as heck and simply flew into the ground themselves. Only problem? The storm was pretty much gone by the time the birds started dropping like flies.
God did it all:
If it's not the government, it's got to be Him, right? Oh ye of little faith, check out the pile of Biblical quotes concerning dead critters and tell us it's not a wee bit creepy. Particularly of interest: I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea from Zephaniah 1:3. If He's sweeping them away, does that mean He's offering to help with the clean up?
USS Enterprise Video Scandal Navy Commander Mastermind
The Navy video scandal brought about by Captain Owen Honors has garnered quite a buzz of controversy, but the Navy hasn't revealed the fate of the carrier officer yet. At this point it is unclear whether Honors, captain of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, will keep his position.
According to the Virginian-Pilot, Honors produced and broadcasted a series of short videos during an "XO Movie Night" meant to entertain the crew that featured "anti-gay remarks, sexual jokes, subordinates parading in drag, and sailors pretending to masturbate and shower together" for the crew.
Since an edited version of the video was released by the newspaper over the weekend, U.S. Fleet Forces Command has launched an investigation into Honor's lewd videos.
"The U.S. Navy has not made any official statements or comments on the status of Capt. Honors," a Monday morning statement said. "The investigation currently being conducted will provide the necessary information to make that decision in an informed manner."

Bird government testing: Labs seek clues after 3,000 dead birds fall from the sky in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Government experts are trying to solve a mystery that evoked images of the apocalypse: Why did more than 3,000 dead red-winged blackbirds tumble from the Arkansas sky shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve?
Scientists are investigating whether bad weather, fireworks or poison might have forced the birds out of the sky, or if a disoriented bird simply led the flock into the ground.
"We have a lot more questions," said Karen Rowe, an ornithologist with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. She said there are documented cases of birds becoming confused and plunging to earth.
Residents of the small town of Beebe, northeast of Little Rock, awoke Saturday to find thousands of dead blackbirds littering a 1.5-square-mile area. The birds inexplicably dropped dead, landing on homes, cars and lawns. Cleanup crews wore protective suits, gas masks and rubber gloves as they spent the holiday weekend gathering the carcasses.
The director of Cornell University's ornithology lab in Ithaca, N.Y., said the most likely suspect is violent weather. It's probable that thousands of birds were asleep, roosting in a single tree, when a "washing machine-type thunderstorm" sucked them up into the air, disoriented them, and even fatally soaked and chilled them.
"Bad weather can occasionally catch flocks off guard, blow them off a roost, and they get hurled up suddenly into this thundercloud," lab director John Fitzpatrick said.
Rough weather had hit the state earlier Friday, but the worst of it was already well east of Beebe by the time the birds started falling, said Chris Buonanno, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in North Little Rock.
If weather was the cause, the birds could have died in several ways, Fitzpatrick said. They could easily become disoriented - with no lights to tell them up and down - and smack into the ground. Or they could have died from exposure.
The birds' feathers keep them at a toasty 103 degrees, but "once that coat gets unnaturally wet, it's only a matter of minutes before they're done for," Fitzpatrick said.
Regardless of how they died, the birds will not be missed. Large blackbird roosts like one at Beebe can have thousands of birds that leave ankle- to knee-deep piles of droppings in places.
Nearly a decade ago, state wildlife officials fired blanks from shotguns and cannons to move a roost of thousands of blackbirds from Beebe. In recent years, many of the migratory birds returned.
Red-winged blackbirds are the among North America's most abundant birds, with somewhere between 100 million and 200 million nationwide, Fitzpatrick said. Rowe put the number of dead in Beebe at "easily 3,000."
Bird carcasses were shipped to the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission and the National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, Wis. Researchers in Georgia also asked for a set of the dead birds. Test results could be back in a week.
Rowe said many of the birds suffered injuries from striking the ground, but it was not clear whether they were alive when they hit.
A few grackles and a couple of starlings were also among the dead.
Those species roost with blackbirds, particularly in winter. Tens of thousands of blackbirds can roost in a single tree. And they do not see well at night, when they usually sleep, Fitzpatrick said.
Earlier Friday, a tornado killed three people in Cincinnati, Ark., about 150 miles away. Then a couple hours before the birds died, thunderstorms also passed through parts of central Arkansas.
Lightning could have killed the birds directly or startled them to the point that they became confused. Hail also has been known to knock birds from the sky.
In 2001, lightning killed about 20 mallards at Hot Springs, and a flock of dead pelicans was found in the woods about 10 years ago, Rowe said. Lab tests showed that they, too, had been hit by lighting.
Back in 1973, hail knocked birds from the sky at Stuttgart, Ark., on the day before hunting season. Some of the birds were caught in a violent storm's updrafts and became encased in ice before falling from the sky.
Rowe and Fitzpatrick said poisoning was possible but unlikely. Rowe said birds of prey and other animals, including dogs and cats, ate several of the dead birds and suffered no ill effects.
"Every dog and cat in the neighborhood that night was able to get a fresh snack that night," Rowe said.

Dead Birds Fall from Sky
(Beebe, AR--) Dead Birds Fall From Arkansas Skies
Wildlife officials in Beebe, Arkansas are looking into what could have caused more than one-thousand blackbirds to fall from the sky and die.
Many witnessed an uncanny resemblance to the Hitchcock movie "The Birds."
Dozens of U.S. Environmental services crews walked between homes, climbing on people roofs with protective hazmat suits and breathing masks, picking up the birds.
The birds showed physical trauma and may have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail.
Wildlife officials say New Year's Eve revelers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.
The Game and Fish Commission says poisoning does not appear to be the case and strange events similar to this have occurred across the globe -- a number of times.

Gorgon Stare Broadens UAV Surveillance
The Increment II pods will differ from Increment I, offering twice the area coverage and double the resolution by using separate EO and IR sensor balls—one of each on individual pods—being built, respectively, by BAE Systems and ITT Defense, says Mike Meermans, vice president of strategic planning at Sierra Nevada. Increment II will produce increased coverage and better resolution by packing a large number of small cameras—perhaps hundreds—into each sensor ball, he notes. Images from the Increment II EO cameras will be in color rather than black-and-white as in Increment I. Sierra Nevada is also designing Increment II with an open architecture to permit additional sensors—perhaps a synthetic aperture radar, for example—to be added to the pods, with the data they gather integrated into the Gorgon Stare video image by the onboard computer processors.
A Gorgon Stare pod set weighs substantially less than a Reaper’s 3,000-lb. payload capacity, but an MQ-9 carrying Gorgon Stare will fly unarmed because of electrical power limitations and stay aloft at 20,000-25,000 ft. for only 14-15 hr., several hours less than an armed MQ-9. Endurance is affected by drag from the pods, Marlin says.
Deptula says Gorgon Stare “changes the dynamic in terms of measuring ISR sufficiency” and is one reason he and other Air Force leaders pushed for the service to stop buying Predators, which can’t carry Gorgon Stare, as of Fiscal 2009. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. makes the Predator and Reaper. USAF’s goal has been to increase the number of daily combat air patrols (CAPS) flown by Predators and Reapers to 50 by the end of Fiscal 2011, Deptula says, and to 65 by Fiscal 2013, which would provide a maximum of 65 full-motion video images streaming at any one time from the UAVs. Fifty Reapers equipped with Gorgon Stare’s Increment II version, however, could provide hundreds of streaming images simultaneously and five times that many after stored images are processed, Deptula says. That calculation calls for rethinking the practice of measuring ISR sufficiency by counting CAPS, he argues.
“We have to get people to stop thinking about input measures—the number of platforms that are flown—and start thinking about output measures, that is, the received output from the entire system,” Deptula says. Ground troops “don’t care how many CAPS are being flown. What they care about is, are they getting increased situational awareness by what’s being flown?”
The Air Force has 53 Reapers and plans to buy 329 in all. There is no official connection between the programs, but Gorgon Stare also could be carried on a future unmanned aircraft known as Magic, an acronym for Medium-Altitude Global ISR and Communications, being designed to fly for five days at 20,000 ft. with a 1,000-lb. payload. Magic is being developed by Aurora Flight Sciences under a $4.7-million contract awarded Sept. 15 by the Air Force Research Laboratory. Aurora will use its Orion Unmanned Aerial System as the airframe for Magic.
