A WORD FROM THE EDITOR

Are you in full summer mode? The Pacific Northwest, where this editor lives, has graced us with a mopey spring full of gray skies and cool temperatures. As the thermometer finally begins to abandon its marriage to 60, we can curl up on the deck under a Pendleton blanket to travel through Internet Prospector's July offerings. But nearly everyone gets a grant opportunity this month – women and girls, pets, school kids, sick workers and organic farmers. Meet the folks who, for big money, do what many don't want to do. Take a closer look at a resource that introduces Chicago's famous. Learn a new source for keeping up with the Irish as well as those oil and gas folks who've been so busy counting the ducats they've picked out of our pockets. Visit European libraries and foreign IPOs. Then wrap up your "staycation" by rolling up your sleeves to calculate endowment, analyze rich zip codes from a new direction and collect stock and options holders.

Internet Prospector takes its own staycation in August so, as the song goes, see you in September!
