NOAA Overflight Captures a Changed East Coast

Pictures taken from a plane reveal a coastline ravaged by Superstorm Sandy


NGS imagery of the Atlantic City, NJ NGS imagery of the Atlantic City, NJ: NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) also began post-storm aerial operations shortly after the storm passed to assess coastal damage. The data contained in these photos provide emergency and coastal managers with the information they need to develop recovery strategies, facilitate search-and-rescue efforts, identify hazards to navigation and HAZMAT spills, locate errant vessels, and provide documentation necessary for damage assessment through the comparison of before-and-after imagery. Collected imagery from Hurricane Sandy is available for viewing online.

Stuck several states away and wondering if your vacation home on the shore is still standing in Hurricane Sandy's wake? Or simply curious to see the power and breadth of the Oct. 30 storm's reach?

Uncle Sam can offer some insight. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been sending airplanes along the East Coast capturing the shoreline's changes.?

The planes fly at 5,000 feet, taking high-resolution images of the coast. The resulting composite offers a virtual tour of the altered coastline, allowing viewers to enter a specific address or simply scroll up and down the shore at will.?

The purpose is not for sightseeing, the agency notes. The images are detailed enough for emergency managers to conduct search-and-rescue operations, city officials to route personnel and machinery, and for insurance assessors and land managers, among others, to conduct cost-effective damage assessments of the coast, according to the agency.

"Aerial imagery is a crucial tool used by federal, state, and local officials as well as the public when responding to natural disasters," the agency said in a statement. "Many areas may be inaccessible due to the volume of debris."

The images are overlaid atop Google Maps imagery, and the NOAA website offers only post-storm views. Those looking to compare specific areas would need to flip between the NOAA images and those from another mapping services, such as Google Earth. But the agency has compiled a handful of before-after shots of some of the hardest-hit zones, including Mantoloking and Seaside Heights, N.J.

New method could help communities plan for climate risk

ScienceDaily (Nov. 7, 2012) ? Climate scientists cannot attribute any single weather event -- whether a drought, wildfire or extreme storm -- to climate change. But extreme events, such as Hurricane Sandy, are glimpses of the types of occurrences the world could be more vulnerable to in the future. As the devastation left by Sandy continues to reverberate, decision-makers at every level are asking: How can we be better prepared?

MIT researchers have developed a new tool to help policymakers, city planners and others see the possible local effects of climate change. Its regional projections of climate trends -- such as long-term temperature and precipitation changes -- allow local planners to evaluate risks, and how these risks could shape crops, roads and energy infrastructure.

"As we see more extreme events like Sandy, the importance of assessing regional impacts grows," says lead researcher Adam Schlosser, assistant director for science research at MIT's Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. "Our approach helps decision- and policymakers balance the risks ? so they can better prepare their communities for future impacts climate change might bring."

For example, Schlosser says, if a community is planning to build a bridge, it should look at -- and plan for -- the expected magnitude of flooding in 2050.

"In areas devastated by Sandy, the rebuilding of lost property and infrastructure will come at considerable cost and effort," Schlosser says. "But should we rebuild to better prepare for future storms like these? Or should we prepare for stronger and/or more frequent storms? There remains considerable uncertainty in these projections and that implies risk. Our technique has been developed with these questions in mind."

Schlosser's research partner, Ken Strzepek, a research scientist at the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, notes policymakers are now often given little more than a set of extreme circumstances to consider.

"Policymakers don't like extremes or worst-case scenarios," Strzepek says, "because they can't afford to plan for the worst-case scenarios. They like to see what is the likelihood of different outcomes. That's what we're giving them."

Getting results

In this new method, the researchers quantify the likelihood of particular outcomes and add socioeconomic data, different emission levels and varying degrees of uncertainty. Their technique combines climate-model projections and analysis from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the MIT Integrated Global System Modeling framework. The MIT framework is itself a combined computer model that integrates an economic, human system with a natural, earth system.

"This approach allows us to widen the scope and flexibility of climate analysis," Schlosser says. "It provides us with efficient capabilities to determine climate-change risks."

The initial study using this approach -- accepted by the Journal of Climate and available on the journal's website -- compares a business-as-usual case with a scenario that reduces emissions. The researchers find that lowering emissions reduces the odds of regional warming and precipitation changes. In fact, for many places, the likelihood of the most extreme warming from the business-as-usual case could be eliminated almost entirely.

The study finds diverse climate-change outcomes: southern and western Africa, the Himalayan region, and the area around Hudson Bay in Canada are expected to warm the most; southern Africa and western Europe see the greatest chance of drier conditions. Meanwhile, the Amazon and northern Siberia may become wetter.

Putting the method to work

Schlosser and Strzepek are pursuing partnerships with communities to put their method to work. But while it's important for every community to begin building climate adaptation into their infrastructure plans, developing countries could reap the greatest benefits.

Malcolm Smart, senior economic adviser for the U.K. Department for International Development, who was not involved in this research, says, "This is not only an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to the problem of deep uncertainty, but also a potentially very valuable tool to help vulnerable developing countries cut the cost of damages from climate change."

Strzepek explains why: In the United States, infrastructure plans are designed based on a high standard of risk, while in developing countries projects are typically built to a lower standard of risk. "But if we find that [a developing country] will see greater flooding, and if we're fairly certain of this, then they would save money in the long run if they built roads to withstand those flooding events," Strzepek says.

Schlosser and Strzepek traveled to Finland earlier this fall to present their research at a United Nations University-World Institute for Development Economics Research conference. They've partnered with this organization to inform developing countries of this new tool for assessing climate change.

"Our approach allows decision-makers to cut down on the level of risk they're taking when allocating their limited funds to development projects," Schlosser says. "This can help them see where there are economic benefits to taking a risk-averse approach today, before the damage is done."

Last-minute stops as Romney ends White House quest

BOSTON (AP) ? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's years-long quest for the presidency is ending with a last-minute round of campaigning in one state he's showered with attention and another he's largely ignored.

After he cast his vote near his Boston-area home, Romney was visiting Cleveland and Pittsburgh on Tuesday, betting an eleventh-hour appeal to working-class voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania will help him defeat President Barack Obama.

His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, is following a similar strategy, using his travel time after voting in his Wisconsin hometown to join Romney in Cleveland and then visit Richmond, Va. The campaign isn't ruling out additional swing-state appearances as well. Tuesday night, he'll await returns with Romney in Boston.

Romney told reporters he was feeling "very good" as he and his wife, Ann, appeared at a polling precinct near his Belmont, Mass., home just before 9 a.m. EST.

Romney spent less than three minutes completing his ballot in the voting booth, which did not have a curtain. Asked who he voted for, he said with a smile, "I think you know." It was the first time he had answered a direct question from the traveling press corps since late September.

"Help us win this," the former governor said Monday, in the midst of a five-state slog that was supposed to be his last day on the campaign trail.

Romney's focus on Ohio is not a surprise. He has spent more time campaigning there over the last year than any other state. And no Republican has won the presidency without carrying the Midwestern battleground.

But Romney has spent very little time in Pennsylvania, a state that hasn't supported a Republican presidential contender in nearly a quarter-century. As polls showed the race tightening there, Romney launched a statewide advertising campaign just last week.

Dismissed as desperation by Democrats, the Pennsylvania trip will at the very least send a message that Romney did all he could to deny Obama a second term.

"We can't let up now. We need to keep going until the final polls close tomorrow night," Romney political director Rich Beeson wrote supporters Monday. "With an election this important, let's leave it all on the field."

A recent Pew Research Center poll showed that non-college-educated white voters across the nation supported Romney over Obama 57 percent to 35 percent. But in Ohio, polls taken in late October suggested Romney was virtually tied with Obama among the group.

Romney needs to do better facing Obama's small, but stubborn, lead in polls in both states. His path is complicated, in part, by his opposition to the government bailout that helped rescue the nation's auto industry.

Romney is scheduled to wrap up his day in Boston, where his national headquarters is based, for an election-night celebration at the Boston Convention Center.

Executive summary



Sales and buying of real estate residential properties are among the most important financial
transactions which many of the people are involved in. For that reason these people have a concern
that the transactions made are effective and best to their advantage. However over the past ten years
or so, a significant change affecting the modern society has been growing; internet use by the
consumers. Studies have continued to predict that the internet use is poised to grow further in future.
This research paper is going to analysis the connection of these two crucial aspects, i.e. Using
internet in real estate marketing. For the years industry analyst had predicted a growth in internet
uses and fundamental changes in the real estate services, though the number of the internet users
continue to grow, changes in the real estate services have not been that fundamental.

Introduction

The increase in the use of internet, specifically the World Wide Web (www) in the past ten years or so
has been exceptional and has impacted almost every sector in developed nations. Among the most
significant aspect in individuals' lives, is their housing condition. In many western countries this is
normally a residential property which is owned by the person occupying it. Thus owner-occupiers
have a high interest in the way residential markets operate. Which the trend in the market changing
and many real estate firms adopting internet as a marketing tool, for selling, advertising and listing,
this paper will seek to find out how the use of world wide web and e-commence has impacted the real
estate industry and how a company can adopt the use of internet in its operations (Baen and Guttery,
1997)

To address this subject, the study paper will carry on, along the following field: internet will have to be
defined for reasons of theoretical clarity; e-commerce, definition and essentials, and functions will be
underscored; reasons for real estate using e-commerce will be discuses, and how to create an
effective website for real estate companies will be discussed at length; and lastly "a way forward" in
terms of a conclusion will be provided

How the characteristics of e-commerce make it a new force in business operations

What is e-commerce?

E-commerce is the trade of services and products by means of computer networks or the internet.


Chan, Lee, & Dillon, (2001) defines e-commerce as selling and buying of goods or services using
electronic media it follows the basic principles of traditional commerce but in this case, buyers and
sellers swap commodities through the internet for money. In e-commerce sellers and consumers of
products transact business over networked computerized processes. This has offered maximum
convenience to buyers and sellers alike. (Kroll, 2000) Buyers in this form of business get the
opportunity to compare prices, quality and other factors before deciding to undertake the transaction.
The buyer gets advantages of saving on physical transport costs and he/she can a product even from
far place on a click of the mouse.

Importance of e-commerce as a strategic component of real estates business

E-commerce serves as a vital strategic tool for companies. When e-commerce is well used in real
estate companies, it brings considerable opportunities to the companies. The importance of e-
commerce to real estate agents can be classified in two main classes; the tangible advantages and
the intangible advantages that are brought about by information technology. E-commerce is vital for
real estates companies today e-commerce can assist many real estates firm to revolutionize their
manners in which they operate and manage their operations. (Bivins, 1999)

Tangible benefits

The tangible benefits of e-commerce touches on the monetary aspect of a company, it touches on the
financial benefits that occur due to a company investing in e-commerce that can only be measured
using tangible metrics. For example it affects cost saving, market share, productivity and profitability
of Real estate companies. These benefits can enable real estates firms to make a lot of saving and
the money saved goes along way in improving other aspect of the firms. (Chan, Lee, & Dillon, 2001)

Intangible benefits

The intangible benefits that can be brought by the e-commerce to real estates firms includes,
improved customer care, advanced knowledge on customer needs, enhanced coordination with the
company partners, improved product quality thus giving real estate firm a competitive advantage.
Chan, Lee, & Dillon, (2001) states that, the competitive benefits of the company usually are seen in
the form of the cost position of the company or products differentiation. E-commerce impacts Real
estate companies advantages by having an effect on the way the Real estate companies operates, by
changing the products of the company and also changing the way of the competition itself. (Chan,
Lee, & Dillon, 2001)


Improved sales

Going online will definitely improve sales of the Real estate companies since it will open new markets.
The Real estate companies will be able to reach a wide market and at the same time maintain its
market segment. Another important aspect of online marketing is that the Real estate companies will
be able to receive customers' suggestions and views about the Real estate companies' service
directly and respond immediately or within a shorter period. Through this, it will be able to monitor
customers' requirements and any changes in market demand, and respond accordingly, this will
greatly improve the service delivery of the Real estate companies. (King, Lee and Vineland, 2004)

Lower costs

The aim of any business is to reduce production cost in order to improve its revenues e-commerce is
one of the cheapest ways of doing business. Business to business communication costs will be
reduced greatly when the Real estate companies adopt e-commerce marketing as a medium of
transaction. Costs such as; phone calls, purchasing costs, travelling costs, inventory costs, data entry
costs, faxing etc reduce the amount the transaction costs. The old day's ways of marketing was not
only time consuming but also costly especially to a wide range of clients. The current internet
technology is the best as it is currently the widely used distribution channel that is being used in the
market. (King, Lee and Vineland, 2004) Since many households and offices today have a computer
and most of them are currently connected to the internet, it makes an opportunity for the Real estate
companies' marketers to reach a high percentage of the population of consumers hence also saving
marketing cost which are normally very high. Thus this will translate to the Real estate companies
offering its customer affordable real estate property. (Bivins, 1999)

Online marketing as a communication vehicle

One of the good aspects of e-commerce is the internet, which is a bi-directional communication tool
which is ironically the least expensive way of advertising compared to other types of advertising such
as radio, television, magazines and news papers. E-commerce offers great benefits for businesses in
this century; increased effectiveness, wide range of audiences, reduced advertising, marketing, and
transportation costs, improved exposure, increased popularity, among others. The Real estate
companies will therefore, have a cheaper way of advertising and at the same time reach a wider
segment of its clients. In addition e-commerce will enhance communication between the Real estate
companies and the customers through email communication. (King, Lee and Vineland, 2004)



Client orientation

The client orientation involves the responsive of the Real estate companies. An email address for
example on a home page of the fast food store will create human connection between the Real estate
companies and the viewing audience. The clients of the Real estate companies will have to answer
promptly to an email they receive and if the same information request is received with some
frequency not normal to what is expected for example a complain about a certain recipe or service ,
then, Real estate companies will have to take necessary steps to rectify it. If the answer to an
information request can be found on the Real estate companies' pages, some kind of decision will
have to be made to create additional pathways or improved ones. When the information is not
received, then the motion will be set in order to add the requested information on the site as quickly
as possible.

Market trend

The internet emergence has witnessed the major changes in traditional trends of business. At
present, internet marketing has increasingly become the crucial phrase for many businesses. Among
them being Real Estate, in the recent past, Internet is becoming the first point for majority of potential
home-purchasers in their look for a residence.

Benefits Internet Marketing in Real Estate

As a result of the various benefits Internet marketing is providing to the real estate companies and to
the clients, Internet marketing has thus, become a much more popular platform for every competitive
real estate firm.

Internet real estate property Make Better customers. A common trend of e-commerce indicates that
these customers are richer and prepared to purchase more high-priced homes.

Cost effective

E-commerce reduces the hunt for potential clients. E-commerce when used it save much more time
and also energy which is normally used for looking for potential clients. Thus, it is often cost effective
compared to traditional methods of selling.

Fast transactions


Internet offers the potential clients a lot more feature in searching for their specific types of home,
since they can narrow down their search options to look for what they desire.

Goes with the trend in customer demographic changes

Present studies disclose that, the homebuyers have continued to be younger as younger people have
been becoming economical empowered earlier in their ages. This group of young people have been
using the internet for a long time and they prefer e-commerce transactions.

E-commerce customers are better informed

Homebuyers using services of e-commerce for their residence hunt are also better-informed
regarding the entire purchasing procedure, and express greater fondness with real estate agents they
use. Indeed, about 80% of online homebuyers employ a real estate agent, which is higher than the
conventional buyers at a 70% possibility.

Hence, a part from offering a chance for enormous viewers of exceptional potential buyers, the e-
commerce provides expediency as well as cost efficacy which conventional marketing medium
cannot offer. Today, Web sites have become more attractive and informative much more than top
promotional materials such as brochures. The Communication provided by emails has made it rather
cheaper and easier to communicate with your previous clients.

Chart 1, shows the trends in the real estate selling pattern used in the industry.

The ways in which the internet and WWW may be incorporated in a real estate business

Web designing

It is important that a website should be developed which will be used by the Real estate companies to
carry on its business with the customer the designing of the website can be tailor- made to suit the
needs of the Real estate companies.


Web site promotion

The Real estate companies will be required to advertise and promote its business, in order for the
customers to be aware of the Real estate companies to come to the company and get the services
offered.

Real Estate e-commerce marketing tips

Despite the vast sway of homebuyers opting for e-commerce, many realtors grumble that their
websites are not productive as they would like and that they do not get new business. Though the
majority of real estate agents acknowledge the importance of e-commerce and willingly pay for
hosting web site, in most cases they generally don't put in systematic attempts and time in achieving
their objectives. For e real estate Company, it can achieve its objects through making its site really
effective.

This might occur owing to overstated promises put in their websites designers, a mix-up of running of
the e-commerce site, or an absence of bearing or direction, a lot of web sites fall far behind of their
true potential. For that, it is important to make sure that that the real estate company is actively
participating in the conception of stronger website. The company technical staff ha to understand well
the search engine optimization techniques, to know how to raise the web traffic as well as translate
leads into buyers. Here are some of the important tips. (Kroll, 2000)

Make the Website much appealing: When individuals visit the company's website, the company has
very limited time to arrest their interest before they strike the back key. Thus, the home page should
be more attractive with minimum distraction. The home page should also be more informative to
prospective home-buyers. Shun misusing the pop-up windows and flash introduction. Employ simply
fast-loading images or graphics and any other aspects. The site web pages should be of light weight
for easy downloading.

Enlist the Website: hunt for hottest Website Directories on the internet and enlist the company site on
those hot directories. This is among the most effective and easiest methods of free website
promotion. The company also should ensure that their site is rich in its contents and appearance to
easily be accepted by the directory chosen. (Benjamin and Chinloy, 2000)

Search Engine Optimization: it is good to Respect the available Search Engines, in addition employ
the practice to use web pages which don't integrate large volumes of code unconnected to the
content. Limit the frame in the webpage to enhance traffic of the web pages. (Benjamin and Chinloy,
2000)


Generate a Blog: Blogging could be much more than just a communications instrument and a
networking stage for the real estate experts. Blogging can express personality, create leads and
enhance business. Following creation of the Blog, do not forget to get enlisted within Blog directories;
it will assist the marketing processes. (Benjamin and Chinloy, 2000)

Publish online articles: through publishing of Articles, the real estate will increase its presence on the
online platform. These articles support the company's marketing programs in a number of ways,
which ranges from page ranking to search engine visibility. Many studies support this aspect.

Show email id: a lot of internet users abhor being compelled to fill forms in order to collect
information. A number of users might accept the online form as convenience; however several users
might desire using their personal email address to get in touch with the agent, in order to keep a
confirmation of the email communication. (Benjamin and Chinloy, 2000)

Minimize Attrition: Attrition trails you in each stage of the company's real estate internet marketing
activities. Attrition is used to refer to individuals who "drop out" along the marketing course
somewhere amid first contact making and the client acquisition phase.

Create lead generation: keep in mind that, website traffic is merely fruitless traffic until when acted
upon. To get the website visitors acting in one way or another to become clients of the company, the
company needs to craft a lead-generation system founded on value and enticements. (Benjamin and
Chinloy, 2000)

Conclusion

In today's business world, e-commerce continues to be very relevant to companies as they struggle to
invent cheaper and more efficient ways to market their products and services. The internet and the
web have become major marketing tools for commercial and industrial brokers, providing detailed
information about the companies and services offered and also providing ongoing means of
communications with regular customers through features such as e-mail and newsletters on the Web.
While the internet has greatly widened the opportunities for distributing and sharing information, there


are no signs that this is diminishing the need for brokers. Instead, those brokers who are
knowledgeable about Web resources are using it to expand their market.

Anthony keeps Knicks perfect with win over 76ers

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? For all the cracks made about New York's aging roster, those old-timers sure know how to win.

Carmelo Anthony scored 21 points and JR Smith had 17 to help keep the Knicks perfect in a 110-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.

Raymond Felton scored 16 points and Tyson Chandler had 14 to lead the Knicks to their first 3-0 start since the 1999-2000 season. The Knicks beat the Sixers 100-84 on Sunday in the opener of the home-and-home series.

"We're just playing good ball right now," Anthony said. "We really locked in what we need to lock in on."

Few teams are as locked in as the Knicks. They thumped Miami in the opener before routing the Sixers in consecutive games. Heck, they were even perfect from the free-throw line, a 19 of 19 night, the most attempts without a miss since 2006.

The Knicks busted the game open in the third quarter, stretching the lead to 21 points. They got a surprising third from 38-year-old Rasheed Wallace, who scored eight points and hit a couple of 3-pointers, including a 26-footer at the buzzer to end the quarter.

After a solid first, the Sixers fell apart, and got nothing going with their set offense. Jrue Holiday led them with 17 points.

Wallace was wooed out of retirement by coach Mike Woodson following two years off spent in quiet in North Carolina. He gave the Knicks a nice, unexpected boost in the quarter from long range. Several thousand Knicks fans came out to the Wells Fargo Center and they went wild when Wallace, a Philadelphia native, unleashed his 3-point attempts.

In his 5 minutes in the third, Wallace's eight points outscored every Sixers bench player overall except Nick Young. Wallace finished with 10 points and wore a button-down "Philla" shirt in the locker room.

"It's nice to be here, always," Wallace said. "I've never really left Philly, and I've been here a few times, attending Sixers games, since I last played. Everyone here has always shown me love, and I have for them."

Young led the way of cold-shooting Sixers, missing 11 of 15 attempts. Known as a shoot-first player, Young almost never looked for another option, and hoisted up misfire after misfire. One fan heckled him, "That's why you got a one-year deal, man!"

No, the Sixers aren't building around Young. But it's clear they need some help outside of Holiday. Dorell Wright had 14 points, and Thaddeus Young had 14 points and 10 rebounds. The game was well out of reach by the time they started putting up numbers.

"Points aren't easy to come by and you have to be on the same page," center Spencer Hawes said.

Ronnie Brewer sparked the Knicks in the third, turning an eight-point lead into 18 after he nailed a couple of 3s. He finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Thaddeus Young was no match for Anthony inside. Anthony worked his way past Young for some buckets in the paint and scored 15 in the first half when it was still just 56-48 at the break.

Sixers coach Doug Collins chided his team after Sunday's loss for playing without any energy at the start of the game. His message got to the Sixers ? for a few minutes. They led 14-4 before the Knicks took control and cruised toward their perfect start.

Count Collins among those impressed by New York's fast start.

"They, right now, do not have a weakness," Collins said. "If they continue to play like this, they are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the East."

Smith tangled briefly with Royal Ivey and the two had to be separated. Smith was even hit for a technical and Chandler was called for one in the third. Those were about the only missteps for the Knicks, who had seven players score in double digits, yet got only two assists and three points from Jason Kidd. Kidd was one of the more vocal Knicks on the bench, standing, clapping and cheering on each big basket or loose-ball hustle.

"We were able to make the moves we wanted to this offseason, and everyone has come here, has been happy with their playing time, and contributed in their own way," Woodson said.

By the end, the New Yorkers who made the trip chanted, "Let's go Knicks!" as they left the arena.

Notes: Knicks C Marcus Camby sat out again after missing most of preseason with a strained calf. ... 76ers starting guard Jason Richardson remains sidelined with a sprained left ankle. Dorell Wright got the start. ... Collins shook up the lineup and started Kwame Brown at center for Lavoy Allen. Bynum left in the third with a strained left calf. ... 76ers GM Tony DiLeo says there is still no timetable for Andrew Bynum's return from a bone bruise. ... The Sixers' ownership group donated $50,000 to Superstorm Sandy relief efforts. They are auctioning memorabilia and prizes at www.SixersOperationRebound.com to raise money for the Red Cross. C Spencer Hawes donated $16,000 to Sandy relief efforts.
