Over a mere 31 days, the world was introduced to Siri and the Rally Squirrel, said farewell to Apple visionary Steve Jobs and legendary director Joe Aceti<\/a>, and shoveled its way out of a freak snowstorm that blanketed the Northeast.

After a late-September wild Wednesday catapulted the St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays into the MLB postseason, October opened with the playoffs in full swing.

October was a busy month for the SVG crew as well, who brought together more than 150 industry leaders for the 2011 TranSPORT Summit on Oct. 11<\/a>.
