South Korean takes the lead without hitting a single shot during storm-infested Sunday

Colorado Springs, Colo. Hee Kyung Seo has a chance to carve her own special place in history. Not simply as a U.S. Open winner but as a U.S. Open winner who won it without hitting a single shot on the final day.

In a strange, storm-infested tournament that doesn't want to end, Seo did just about everything she could to win her first major except control the weather. She shot a pair of 3-under 68s on Sunday to finish at 3-under 281 for a one-shot lead over her South Korean rival, So Yeon Ryu, who had three holes left when darkness halted play.

Cristie Kerr was another shot back with two holes left.

Seo will sleep on the lead though not as comfortably as she could have after missing a 3-foot par putt on No. 17 and then has a chance to wake up Monday, come to the course, never touch a club and walk away with the trophy and a check for $585,000.

I can sleep very well, so I don't worry about that, she said.

But she couldn't celebrate quite yet.

Rain delayed play for the fourth time in four days this time for 2 hours, 37 minutes and left 28 players still on the course, three of whom still have a shot at the title.

There's Ryu, who shot 69 on her first trip around the course Sunday morning and has at least one decent birdie opportunity the par-5 17th awaiting when play resumes Monday.

Right now, it's kind of breezy out there, she said when she walked off. Tomorrow, it might be good weather and the greens might be soft. So, it's good for me, yeah.

The ongoing SEO responsibility of attaining and retaining a productive organic search engine presence requires patience, tenacity, and a focus on every detail that might have an impact. Moderated by Thom Craver (@thomcraver), Web and Database Specialist, Saunders College (RIT), The Tools of the Trade for SEO panel at SES New York 2012 pulled together more than 40 tools in this whirlwind session.

Michael King (@iPullRank), SEO Manager, Publicis Modem, came up first with his presentation, Tools for Pulling Rank Nearly Every Tool Youll Ever Need EVER. King's presentation provided the comprehensive list of tools for the advanced and aspiring SEO professional to investigate.

Here is a short list of most (certainly not all) of those tools covered:

Some of the tools above were proprietary or built upon functionality inherent to the understanding and administration of available resources. King's perspective: "the ability to code gives you super powers."

Fortunately for conference attendees and Search Engine Watch readers (and writers), King was kind enough to provide his presentation on Slideshare. What was King's most important tool for SEO? His brain. More on that connectivity a bit later in the session.

There actually is a relatively non-Bing, non-Google world online. In Asian markets, Baidu commands as much as 80 percent of the market and only in Japan has Google teamed up to provide a search engine presence.

T.R. Harrington (@netchina),Chief Operating Officer, Darwin Marketing, took the session down a different path overseas but started with a quick poll.

How do you find SEO tools: webinar, reviews, peer recommendations, or by performing a search? The majority of SES New York attendees used peer recommendations or performed searches. According to a SkyRocket survey, 77 perent used peer recommendations to find these types of tools. Bottom line: recommendation.

For keyword research, Baidu Insights is an excellent option with free user demographics. The only drawback? Lack of English UI. Harringtonnoted that for certain brand-based keywords, search results look much more like a branded microsite. Baidu also puts a significant amount of paid search ads in the left-hand side.

For monitoring, Advanced Web Ranking for works well for Baidu. There is also SERP Update Monitoring for Yandex (Russia): Update Analyzer. In China there was also Super Manager for ranking monitoring (unfortunately uncertain about the link reference on this one).

For most of his life, Merced's Jim Stofle has been interested in coins. His knowledge and appreciation of coins have led to a much-heralded ability to evaluate rare examples.

When Stofle was about 8 or 9 years old, his baby sitter brought along a shoe box full of coins to entertain her new charge. Stofle, now 56, still has one of those coins, known as a Fugio cent, which today is worth about $5,000 on the collector's market.

A life member of the American Numismatic Association, Stofle entered his first-ever grading contest last month at the Long Beach Coin Expo. He correctly judged 12 out of 20 coins and missed six others by only one point. His prize was a Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle $20 gold piece valued at $2,500, along with considerable bragging rights.

Stofle said he had 20 minutes to judge 20 coins; it only took him only five minutes to get the job done, but about a minute of that time was spent analyzing one tarnished coin. He got that one right, too; three other contestants got nine right out of 20 samples.

Stofle's friend Bill Shamhart of Morris County, N.J., said Stofle is a natural at grading coins. Shamhart teaches advanced grading classes and says not everyone knows how to grade coins. Some students eventually will learn grading skills, but Stofle's talents will only get sharper as he practices, his friend said.

Stofle modestly says professional coin graders regularly get 18 out of 20 coins right. Some of the more brilliant younger collectors who have an eye for grading coins have been recruited by professional grading companies to grade coins rather than deal in them. Shamhart said that if Stofle graded coins every day, he also would get almost all coins right quickly.

Coincidentally, Stofle discovered that Shamhart's father, a B-52 instructor pilot at Castle Air Force Base, was stationed here in the late 1960s and early 1970s and Shamhart lived in Merced during that time. Stofle and Shamhart have met numerous times at the annual collectors' conventions.

"Most coins are pretty easy for me to grade," Stofle said. "I can't explain it, but I just look at the coin and know what the grade is. Due to the recession, coins have decreased 20 to 30 percent in value, except for extremely rare ones."

Coins are graded between one and 70 points, with points subtracted for flaws. Stofle uses three magnifiers to spot the scuffs and nicks that coins accumulate over time. When they are lumped together in sacks, coins get marks as they rub together, and that detracts from their value.

Stofle, a certified public accountant who's lived in Merced for 46 years, said he is more driven by the history of a certain coin than the fact it's rare. He said there's quite a bit of speculation in collector coins but the average old coin, like houses, is down about a third in value today.
