<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this economy, we are all looking for game changers.&#0160; A way to focus energy and create something that is more than simply the sum of the parts. <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/" title="Seth&#39;s Blog">Seth Godin</a> has accomplished this in a series of one-page essays contributed by&#0160;a remarkable group of more than 70 people which comprise the&#0160;free ebook called <em><a href="http://freshspot.typepad.com/files/What_Matters_Now.pdf" target="_blank" title="Open Ebook in new window.">What Matters Now.</a></em></p>
<p><a href="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e201287651d34f970c-pi" style="DISPLAY: inline"><img alt="Whatmattersnow" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345202af69e201287651d34f970c " src="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e201287651d34f970c-800wi" title="Whatmattersnow" /></a> <br /> </p>
<p>In the intro to the ebook, Seth talks about changing the goal from collecting to one of giving. Rather than focusing your efforts on ensuring that you get your fair share. Try giving more than your share... you&#39;ll find that you&#39;ll receive far more in return than your share cost you.</p>
<p>This type of thinking is&#0160;well known to us.&#0160; It is&#0160;what&#0160;makes <a href="http://www.augi.com" title="home page">AUGI</a> such a unique community. I know many contributors&#0160;in the <a href="http://forums.augi.com" title="AUGI Forums">AUGI community</a> that have always embraced this concept and demonstrated it through action.&#0160; Thanks to all of them!&#0160;</p><div class="feedflare">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>AUGI Top DAUG</strong> competition was held at AU2009 with over 300 participating in the challenge.&#0160; It consisted of two rounds of effort. The first was an on-screen series of questions that determined the Top Ten finalists. For the second round they were invited back to compete in a head to head live drawing test. AutoCAD 2010 was the release that the challenge focused on, which was designed by 4D Technologies.</p>

<p>The Top Ten finalists at the end of round one were (in order from 1 to 10) Cory Honeyman, Timothy Vaughan, Shauna Anderson, Richard Lawrence, Claude Godin, Jim Swain, Chris Groves, Paul Kirill, Kevin Hawkins and Jeanne Aarhus. These finalists were invited back to the AUGI Booth for the live final competition.&#0160; Seven returned for the shoot out.</p>

<p>Each finalist was asked to draw specific designs inside of AutoCAD 2010.&#0160; They then queried the design to answer a question that was posed.&#0160; There were 15 question possible within a time limit of 15 minutes.&#0160; Just one minute, on average, to draw and then answer the question.&#0160; </p>

<p><strong>The Top DAUG 2009 Winner is Timothy Vaughan</strong>.&#0160; He got 6 answers correct out of 15.&#0160; On his heals was Richard Lawrence with the same amount correct but 4 seconds behind the front runner.&#0160; Third place and beyond went to Chris Groves, Claude Godin, Jim Swain, Kevin Hawkins and Shauna Anderson.</p>

<p>The winner received an HP Mini notebook computer courtesy of HP, presented by Stephanie Ellis of HP.&#0160; He also will receive a FREE PASS to Autodesk University 2010.</p><p>The Top Ten Finalists from Round One will receive a one month subscription to <a href="http://www.augieducation.cadlearning.com/">CADLearning.com</a></p><p><a href="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20120a739f54d970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Action" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345202af69e20120a739f54d970b image-full " src="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20120a739f54d970b-800wi" title="Action" /></a> <br /> The Finalists in Action</p><p><a href="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763cc74f970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Action2" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345202af69e20128763cc74f970c image-full " src="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763cc74f970c-800wi" title="Action2" /></a> <br />More Action...</p><p><a href="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763cc83e970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="T-Vaughan in action" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345202af69e20128763cc83e970c image-full " src="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763cc83e970c-800wi" title="T-Vaughan in action" /></a> <br />The Winner at work</p><p><a href="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763cceb9970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Winner" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345202af69e20128763cceb9970c image-full " src="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763cceb9970c-800wi" title="Winner" /></a> <br /><a href="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763ccef0970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Winner2" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8345202af69e20128763ccef0970c image-full " src="http://augi.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8345202af69e20128763ccef0970c-800wi" title="Winner2" /></a> <br />Don Schwartz (4D Technologies), Timothy Vaughan, Mark Kiker, Stephanie Ellis (HP)</p><div class="feedflare">
