A Welcome Recovery in Meetings, Conventions & Seminars

by Maryann Posten

Good news for business event planners and destinations: We have signs of recovery!

Dating back to 9-11, the industry slowed at first because of travel concerns, then because B-to-B companies found new ways of learning, marketing and conducting business online. The third part of the triple-whammy has been the recession.

However, as a compiler and provider of both Meeting Planners and Seminar Attendees, I happily report an uptick in both list sizes and orders for those lists. That got me to wondering if the industry is indeed percolating with better attendance to meetings and conventions. I immediately checked my go-to source for the industry?s leading news: M&C.

Here you go hot off the web: Not only are there signs of recovery, but for the financial industry at least, luxury returns! Budgets are increasing, top tier bookings are up, and there?s a shift from a buyer?s to a seller?s market in the hotel and airline industries serving the industry.

Now get this: Use of technology is surprisingly sluggish meaning that virtual events are not the tidal wave that event planners anticipated. Guess what? People still like to meet their colleagues, clients and suppliers in person.

My company is a long-term member of the Direct Marketing Association. And I would definitely like to meet you to discuss lead generation at our industry convention, DMA20112, in Las Vegas October 13-18. Nothing like pressing the flesh!

Why Texas State Got A 16th-Place Vote In The AP Poll [Texas State Bobcats]

Why Texas State Got A 16th-Place Vote In The AP PollFor the time being, the Texas State Bobcats are the only team to be undefeated in their FBS history. Sure, they're just 1-0 all-time, joining the WAC this season after 23 years in the I-AA/FCS Southland conference. But that one was a stylish one. It was a 30-13 walloping of Houston, in Houston, that forced the immediate resignation of the Cougars' offensive coordinator. According to Pregame.com, Texas became only the seventh underdog of 34 points or more to win since 1980, and the first ever 34-or-more dog to win by double digits.

Good enough for 16th in the nation?

Ray Ratto thinks so. The CSN Bay Area writer submitted his Week 2 ballot, and there are the plucky Bobcats, sitting pretty at No. 16. This, despite none of the other 59 polled writers even ranking Texas State.

Polls are Serious Business, and with every ballot being public, it was only a matter of time before people got upset. We received a couple emails from fans angry at Ratto's votes, and someone's already changed his Wikipedia page to reflect his support of the Bobcats. Ratto addressed some of his Top 25 selections, but we figured we'd ask him for some more clarification. Texas State? Really?

Ratto writes in an email:

"My rationale, which I would assume will be dismissed as the ravings of an idiot, is that of all the upsets Saturday, the one foreseen by the fewest people was this one. Texas State dominated the game away from home against a team that averaged nine wins over the last six years in its first FBS game ever. Outgained them by more than 100, had the ball for 43 minutes - that kind of dominated. In fact, it went over so well that Houston fired its offensive coordinator the next day. Is 16 too generous? Probably. Could they disappear next week against Texas Tech? Hell yes they could. It's Week 2. But for one night, with so little data in what is always the worst week of the year for drawing conclusions, I'm fine with them where they are."

That's...actually more thought than probably goes into 95 percent of votes. Is Texas State the 16th best team in the nation? No, and Ratto concedes that. ("Don't steal their moment," he wrote. "It doesn't hurt you any.") But the AP Poll is for fun. For entertainment purposes only. It doesn't factor in to the BCS standings. Think of it like a power ranking, a barometer of the college landscape, calibrated by people who presumably watch a lot of football.

Of course, any power ranking is a lightning rod for misplaced vitriol from commenters who are convinced the voters are biased. The AP voters aren't, of course. But you know who is? The coaches, because they actually have a stake in the results. And for all the flaws and hypocrisy of the Coaches' Poll, guess which one actually helps determine which teams make the postseason?

All of which is to say, who gives a crap if the AP has Texas State 16th, or first, or unranked, or if USC drops to No. 2 despite winning by 39. It doesn't matter. None of this matters. Ratto again:

"Anyone who gets their delicates in a wad over the first week of a non-binding poll probably shouldn't be allowed to watch other people operate heavy machinery."

Dawn craft to depart asteroid for dwarf planet

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? One asteroid down, one to go.

After spending a year gazing at Vesta, NASA's Dawn spacecraft was set to cruise toward the most massive space rock in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter ? a voyage that will take nearly three years.

Firing its ion propulsion thrusters, Dawn had been slowly spiraling away from Vesta for more than a month until it was to pop free from its gravitational grip. Since its antenna was pointed away from Earth during this last maneuver, engineers would not know until Wednesday how it went.

The departure was considered ho-hum compared with other recent missions ? think Curiosity's white-knuckle "seven minutes of terror" dive into Mars' atmosphere.

"It's not a sudden event. There's no whiplash-inducing maneuver. There's no tension, no anxiety," said chief engineer Marc Rayman of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $466 million mission. "It's all very gentle and very graceful."

Launched in 2007, Dawn is on track to become the first spacecraft to rendezvous with two celestial bodies in a bid to learn about the solar system's evolution.

Dawn slipped into orbit last year around Vesta ? about the size of Arizona ? and beamed back stunning close-ups of the lumpy surface. Its next destination is the Texas-size Ceres, also known as a dwarf planet.

Vesta and Ceres are the largest bodies in the asteroid belt littered with chunks of rocks that never quite bloomed into full-fledged planets. As cosmic time capsules, they're ideal for scientists trying to piece together how Earth and the other planets formed and evolved.

During its yearlong stay at Vesta, Dawn used its cameras, infrared spectrometer, and gamma ray and neutron detector to explore the asteroid from varying altitudes, getting as close as 130 miles above the surface.

Dawn uncovered a few surprises. Scientists have long known that Vesta sports an impressive scar at its south pole, likely carved by an impact with a smaller asteroid. A closer inspection revealed that Vesta hid a second scar in the same region ? evidence that it had been whacked twice within the last 2 billion years.

The collisions spewed chunks of debris into space; some fell to Earth as meteorites.

With its rugged exterior ? complete with grooves, troughs and pristine minerals ? and iron core, Vesta acts more like an "almost planet" than garden-variety, lightweight asteroids.

Vesta was "on its way to planethood if it continued to grow," said chief scientist Christopher Russell of the University of California, Los Angeles.

Asteroids have received renewed attention of late. President Barack Obama canceled a return to the moon in favor of landing astronauts on a yet-to-be-selected asteroid as a stepping stone to Mars. A private company headed by space entrepreneurs wants to mine precious metals from near-Earth asteroids.

After racking up 1.7 billion miles journeying to Vesta, Dawn has another 930 million miles to reach Ceres, where it will arrive in early 2015.

Such a trip is possible because of Dawn's futuristic ion propulsion engines, which provide gentle yet constant acceleration. Once confined to science fiction, the technology has been tested in space and is more efficient than conventional rocket fuel that powers most spacecraft.

Scientists expect a different world at Ceres. Unlike the rocky, pockmarked Vesta, the nearly spherical Ceres has a dusty surface with an icy interior. Some think it may even have frost-covered poles.

"Almost everything we see at Ceres will be a surprise and totally different from Vesta," Russell said.

Randy Johnson Lives High on DNC, Union Dime, After Bain 'Devastated His Family'

During Wednesday night?s convention coverage, the Democratic National Convention decided to roll out a trio of workers allegedly kicked to the curb by Bain Capital, the??private equity firm co-founded by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.???One of them was Randy Johnson.??According to Adam Kredo?s?August 28 column in The Washington Free Beacon, Johnson ?worked at American Pad & Paper (Ampad) after Bain purchased the company in the early nineties? and ?maintains that the investment firm callously managed the mill with an eye only towards profits.?

But as Kredo reports, Johnson has essentially been a professional liberal flak for the past few months, traveling on the DNC dime to lambaste Romney at every possible turn. Don?t expect, of course, for Kredo?s reporting to find its way into any network ?fact checking? about the Democratic Convention's speakers:

Bain?s business tactics ?devastated my family,? said Johnson, who earned $104,974 from United Steelworkers union in 2011. ?Though he billed himself as a blue-collared fighter, Johnson has been living in the lap of luxury courtesy of the DNC for months, according to reports. ?The DNC has paid for Johnson?s airfare to various partisan events across the country and had footed the bill for his hotel rooms, according to the New York Observer. ?Johnson has even forced the DNC staffer who constantly shadows him to pay for his meals and highway tolls, the Observer noted. ?

In addition, this isn?t the first time Johnson has slammed Romney.??

?

In what appears to be hollow vindictiveness, he ?has been excoriating Romney publicly since 2002, when he ran to become governor of Massachusetts.When Romney ran for president in 2008, "Johnson again popped up in the media landscape, feeding the Boston Globe similar talking points to those he touted in Tampa Tuesday."

It appears that the staffers within the DNC know that his credibility is shoddy.??Kredo concluded his column stating ?when approached by a Free Beacon reporter about his partisan affiliations, DNC staff quickly swooped in to escort Johnson away, claiming that he was incapable of answering further questions.?

Randy Johnson is a de facto Democratic operative who claims to have been ?destroyed? by Bain Capital, but who now travels on the DNC dime and makes a six-figure salary with the United Steelworkers union. The network ?fact checkers? should note that, but I?m not holding my breath that they will.
