10 Ways To Increase Your Adwords Quality Score – A Mini Case Study
* Update: Since this post was published, we have created a much more detailed and in-depth version of this post with a lot of extra useful and relevant information on how to improve your Quality Score here *
So what is quality score? According to Google:
"Quality Score is the basis for measuring the quality and relevance of your ads and determining your minimum CPC bid for Google and the search network. This score is determined by your keyword's click through rate (CTR) on Google, and the relevance of your ad text, keyword, and landing page."
Quality score effects your keywords minimum cost per click and position in the search results and also if your ad will even show at all!
This is fundamentally the same for the other first tier Pay Per Click networks (Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN AdCenter). There are many other factors involved, however this is the most transparency we're going to get from them at this time. For now, we will deal with the Google Adwords quality score.
Around the same time of the release of Yahoo! Panama, Google began showing keyword quality information at the keyword level in Adwords accounts. Google shows weather your score is Great, OK or Poor. It may not be much information, but it has been a great help for those trying to diagnose why their PPC bids are so high.
Last month, we had a new client who came to us for advice on lowering their minimum cost per click and ultimately increase their ROI. Our client was already experiencing a positive ROI using Adwords because of their products profit margin, however since Google started showing QS, they realized they were not doing as well as they thought. Their campaign was relatively small and they were paying an average minimum CPC of $0.40 across their three ad groups. Each Ad Group had 100 keywords in each. They also had a few disabled keywords. When we examined their account, we could see that almost 90% of their keywords had a "Poor" quality score.
Lets say our client sold "Blue Widgets". Here's what we did.
Campaign Account Factors
1) Split Keywords into Smaller more targeted Ad Groups
We used the in built keyword grouper tool in Adwords editor to group keywords into 15 groups of 20 related keywords. eg:
buy blue widgets
exchange blue widgets
what is a blue widget
buy blue widgets online
2) Create relevant ad copy for each group
We then created an ad creative for each keyword group using the common grouping denominator "Blue Widgets"
Note the upper case on each word and use of the keyword in the title, ad copy and display URL. ALL 4 ads contained blue widgets in the same form as you see above. It should also be noted that the display URL does not need to match the ACTUAL URL exactly.
3) Optimize Creatives
We created 4 different ads for each group using different verbs and calls to action. We also turned ad serving optimization OFF so we could accurately split test all 4 ads. After a week, we chose the best performing creative and deleted the others. We then tried to increase the CTR by working on variations of that creative. After two weeks, it was plain to see which was the better performing ad. Within two weeks the overall campaign click through rate was up. Note that optimizing creatives is a never ending process. You can ALWAYS squeeze an extra 0.01% CTR by being…creative.
(This was not the creative used for the campaign)
4) Experiment With Matching Options
Our client was only using broad match for their keywords in their campaign. We added exact match and phrase match keywords to each ad group and chose which of the three had a better QS and lower minimum CPC and deleted the other two matching options. In the majority of cases, exact match won.
On Page Factors
While we were working on the PPC account side of things, many of the on page factors were being worked on at the same time.
5) Link Building And SEO
We ran a manual deep link building campaign using the highest performing keywords (Volume AND Conversion Rate). Not only does this help Quality Score but also helps with the organic SEO campaign in the coming months. We submitted a Google sitemap, made the site semantically coded and corrected some navigational issues.
6) Implement Keywords
For each page we implemented most of the keywords into the copy.
7) Split Test Landing Page
We set up a multi variant test to split test the landing pages and test conversion rates. Google Analytics has an excellent write up on the major elements that can effect conversions. We cannot stress the importance of multi variant testing enough. Testing and optimizing conversion rates on landing pages is too big a subject to go into in this post. It should be noted that we also used heat maps to test the landing pages.
8) Meta Tags
We added the best performing keywords to the meta tags on each page. We also used the EXACT ad text from the best performing creative in the meta description. We also used the BEST PERFORMING and MOST DESCRIPTIVE keyword as the title tag.
9) Essential Site Pages
Although the site had a privacy policy, it was not linked in the navigation (Header OR Footer). We added the privacy policy as well as creating and adding an informative "about us" page, a "terms and conditions" page, a newsletter page and a new contact us page.
10) Make Sure Google Thinks You're Relevant
We used the Site-Related Keywords tool to make sure that Google thought the landing page was related to the keywords we are targeting. After a little "fleshing out", Google saw each landing page as VERY related to the keywords we were using.
Clearly for privacy reasons we have left out many details regarding our clients campaign. We increased the campaign daily budget to twice what it was and left the campaign running for the month to get more accurate figures.
The Results:
Within four days the Quality Score for 60% of the keywords went from " Poor"to "Great" with average minimum CPC prices down from 40 cents to 4 cents.
All keywords that still had a poor quality score after the month (8 of them) were deleted.
Overall campaign click through rate was up 12%
We increased conversion rates from 3% to a whopping 24%
Our client was 100% happier.
Our client was able to slash their monthly spending budget and MASSIVELY increase their sales.
Increasing you quality score and optimizing your Adwords PPC campaign is an absolute MUST if you want to reduce your spend and at the same time increase your sales. There are MANY other factors, known and unknown that go into improving quality scores, however the most fundamental have been covered. Most other PPC networks also use a similar QS ranking method and the areas I have covered can be applied to them too.
I hope this has helped anyone starting their first PPC campaign or anyone looking to improve their ROI by increasing their Quality Score. If you would like more information or would like to avail of our Google Adwords Management service, please get in touch.

Darnell Williams Joins THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS Cast
The good news is that the daytime genre needs talented actors of color on the canvas to add diversity that is seriously lacking, and sadly going in the wrong direction.
The bad news is that Y&R, probably more than any other daytime soap, continues the trend of being more obsessed with casting actors than actually writing interesting stories that make fans of the show want to keep watching.
Could this move inspired AMC fans to tune in? Possibly, and this definitely is a special case where a couple (Jesse and Angie) had an huge, loyal following. But the success of popular acting duos reuniting on another soap has been very hit or miss over the years so it is certainly not a given this will help the ratings. Y&R fans may worry it is more airtime being taken away from some of their longtime favorites already not featured enough.
So what do you think Y&R faithful? Is this a good move for the show?
7 comments:
I can't think of a case where a supercouple from one show joined another as new characters and had the same success. If Williams is going to be a recast Malcolm, it could work. He's a lot older than the last two actors but Y&R plays fast and loose with age anyway.ReplyDelete
If the plan is to somehow have the actor be paired with or interact with Debbi Morgan's Harmony, then it's possible Williams could be playing Ana Hamilton's (unknown) father. As stated, he's far too old to play Malcolm, and they really need to let that characer rest for awhile since the last misfire.ReplyDelete
I don't think DW should play Malcolm because Malcolm has always been Neil's Younger Brother. As bad a turn as this show has taken over the years, making DW Malcolm would be ridiculous, even for Y&R. The bottom line is that although I think DW is a terrific actor and this casting has definitely piqued my curiosity, to me, it is about how his presence will contribute to the long-term health of the show. Once TPTB lure AMC stalwarts and lapsed viewers to the show, will they be able to sustain that? Or will viewers end up POed as has been the case over the last couple of years?ReplyDelete
If the writing remains as terrible as it has been over the past few years, no one will be able to save this show. Even though I no longer watch, I do wish DW luck and I hope the writing improves soon!
FoxCrane, I like the idea of DW playing Ana's father. Perhaps you should be writing this show?ReplyDelete
In my opinion, I think this is the Best News ever. I love Darnell Williams and am so glad that he landed a role on the Y&R. It would be great if he was paired up with Debbie Morgan again, but whatever role he is given it better be a permanent one. Debbie is doing an amazing job as Harmony and I know that Darnell will do the same. It is so exciting to have them both on again. And I totally disagree with the previous comments, I, for one, believe that The Young and The Restless is the best soap ever. I am very happy with their storylines and I love that more former AMC actors are joining the cast. Mark my words, I'm positive that a lot of former AMC viewers will start watching and become devoted Y&R viewers. So, keep up the good work, whenever you need another character, or a replacement character, bring more AMC actors over. You won't be sorry; it will all be worth it. And, in the meantime, I am sooo happy that we are slowly getting to see some of our favourite AMC actors again. Way To Go, Y&R!!!ReplyDelete
Darnell & Debbi + Y&R = Fun! Yay!ReplyDelete
Brian :-)
This news SCARES ME! They only show black characters on the 1st week of the month and the middle of the month. Usually together. I got sick in my stomach when YoHarmony called Phyllis, Miss Phyllis. Debbi Morgan is OLDER than Michelle Stafford. Are we back in the massa days of pre-civil war? The way the african-american characters are written on this show is abysmal. I do like that Lily is not subjected to just being with the african-american cast but this was pre-MAB and MAB was trying to break Lily and Cane up. So yes this casting SCARES me to DEATH!ReplyDelete

Jeremiah Wilson "Jay" Nixon (born February 13, 1956) is the 55th and current Governor of the U.S. state of Missouri. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as Missouri's Attorney General before his election in 2008. Nixon holds both an undergraduate degree and a law degree from the University of Missouri in Columbia.
He made his first bid for statewide office in 1988, an unsuccessful effort to oust incumbent U.S. Senator John Danforth. Nixon was defeated by Danforth, winning 32% of the vote compared to Danforth's 68%. Nixon was first elected as Missouri's Attorney General on November 3, 1992, on a platform of fighting crime, cleaning up government corruption, and protecting consumers and the environment. Nixon followed William L. Webster as Attorney General. The 1992 race for Attorney General between Nixon and former State House Minority Leader David Steelman was especially heated; however Nixon beat Steelman 51% to 45%, with an unusually high 4% of the votes going to the Libertarian Party candidate.

Lemon Memories
My mom handed me Betty Crocker's Cookie Book and told me it was her favorite cookbook. I have few memories of her baking cookies; she was a brownie type. I can't say truthfully whether she baked brownies from scratch or from a mix because I never really paid attention; I had no interest. There were far too many minnows and tadpoles to catch and there was never enough time for the trampoline.
The day I asked my mom if we could make cookies from scratch she picked out the lemon bar recipe. I followed along, unsure of where my idea to bake had come from in the first place, but as we baked I found it to be easier than expected.
The crust was made of 3 ingredients: butter, flour, and powdered sugar. We pressed the crust into the dish and sent it into the oven while we mixed the sugar, lemon, eggs, baking powder and salt for the filling. Once the crust came out of the oven my mom helped me with the lemon mixture and off it went, back into the oven. Twenty minutes later we had a kitchen filled with the scent of lemon and butter, ten minutes after that we had fresh baked lemon bars resting on the counter to cool, and fifteen minutes after that (I couldn't wait a full hour!) I tasted the flaky crust, the gooey citrus center, and that thin crispy top layer of my first dessert from scratch. I decided that baking was pretty cool. Though I wasn't converted from catching tadpoles, I did find a new rainy day activity and a favorite dessert recipe.
here. I have no shame in admitting that I ate the entire pan of my most recent lemon bar endeavor. Yep. Listen guys, I'm not healthy all the time... so now is an appropriate time to mention that you should do as I say and not as I do. Please don't eat the whole pan by yourself!
Lemon Rosemary Bars
Preheat the oven to 350º F
1/4 c butter, softened
1/4 c applesauce
1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c whole wheat flour
-Combine the butter and applesauce, then add the flours to make a dough
-Press the dough into a square glass baking dish (approx 8x8 or 9x9) and bake for 8-10 minutes
3/4 c sugar
1/8 c flour
2 eggs
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp dried and chopped rosemary
-Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until well combined
-Pour the mixture over the crust and bake for another 20 minutes
-Remove the bars from the oven and let cool for as long as you can wait (the longer you wait the easier it is to make a clean cut)
-Cut the bars into about 16 squares, dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy!

When half the country,or more depends on some form of government assistance,it´s a formula for national bankruptcy at some point. If Obama was creating jobs,the revenues could offset some of this reckless spending,so maybe Obama is running a two headed monster government. Get more people on the dole and kill jobs that could finance it.How did this country get to a point where we´re trowing billions at college and at the same time employers can´t find qualified workers?

President Obama is simply incapable of discarding Alinskyite rhetoric and tactics for constructive dialogue. He is so obsessed with his end goal of destruction of his opponent, that he can't manage a quick side trip to solve the country's problems.

Well there is one appropriate thing that I can think of, saying congratulations to all of you for contributing to the milestone.
Btw, it's projected to happen Fall 2010, but I hope it coincides with the next lunar eclipse.

Rev. Robinson opened to Acts1:1-11, "Seven Things Jesus Left Behind Before Home Coming". Jesus left this world unfinished but it is our responsibility to finish it. We have His work and must complete it. A job of witnessing. The message left cannot be challenged in its source and we must pray for understanding of its substance and see the scope the message must be shared in.
Jesus gave his body unquestioned and his blood for our forgiveness. His plan is unmistakable. We are to witness to all! His testimony is unshakable. We must guard our walk so we have a testimony daily to share with others. If Jesus were to come right now, what would he find you doing? We need to be ready to serve and not ready to pounce. Never point out others sins till you list yours. Find the power in Him. The first coming is over. We await

Why do I still find things on this site I never have before, a few click and I ended up here and there are some fantastic reviews, especially this one.
I have commented on these two shows many times and probably will again and again. I am happy to watch the shows but boy it makes me sad to see the King look in poor health, I've lost count of the times I have had a tear in my eye watching it.
One of the first albums that I ever got was the double album Elvis In Concert, I loved the album so much, it got played and played until I worn the needle out. When I did eventually see the show I was more than a little shocked!! My mind had created an Image of Elvis circa 1972 for some reason and the reality was somewhat different.
The music for me has always been great whether it was 1970 or 1977 and I still play my Elvis In Concert album to hear some of the best singing you will hear........ HGTA is a soul reaching out to God. It is hard to find a version to match, even in previous years where Elvis is considered to be in better voice!
For me Elvis in concert is a real eye opener for any fan, there is much to be taken from it good and bad, depending on the person you will find what you are looking for.

The Sun Temple of Modhera
The Sun Temple in Modhera, Gujarat was built in the early 11th century by King Bhimdev, in dedication to the Hindu Sun-God, Surya. The temple's magnificent exterior is intricately carved, and designed in such a way that the sun's rays illuminate the temple's sanctum at dawn during the equinoxes. Besides the sanctum, the temple has a pradakshina patha and a sabha mandap, as well as a Surya Kund, a massive tank with stunning miniature shrines that adorn its steps. Yahoo! reader DHARTI PATEL, a student of sculpture and art of Gujarat, shares her experience as she visits the temple of Surya.

Academy benefits from Broncos' Twickenham legacy
6:00am Saturday 7th December 2013 in Sport
Crisis club London Broncos may be calling time on their stay in west London, but their stay may yet prove to have left a lasting legacy in the area, writes Stuart Amos.
The club, who will quit Harlequins' Stoop stadium before the start of next season's Super League campaign, confirmed this week they were bidding to avoid going into adminstration with talks over a new home at an advanced stage.
Fears over the sport's viability in London may yet prove unfounded and it certainly appears in rude health at Twickenham Academy.
The school was crowned Richmond borough rugby league champions at Twickenham RFC last month and will progress to the London quarter-finals with an unbeaten record.
The Richmond Schools Sports Partnership hosted event saw the academy beat Hampton Academy, Grey Court, Richmond Park Academy and Teddington School.
Twickenham topped the table with four wins from four games and only conceded one try compared to the 11 they ran in during the course of the afternoon.

We got a really nice note from Abby Weaver in Allentown last week we'd like to share.
"I am a big fan of your column," Abby said. "Thanks for helping the Lehigh Valley save some money."
It turns out Abby isn't just good at buttering up people. She's also got a great way to grease pans and casserole dishes, On The Cheap-style.
"I have a tip for your readers that will save them boatloads on cooking spray," Abby said. "I used to buy Pam all the time to keep things from sticking to my pots and pans. Recently, I've been looking at the ingredients in things and trying to delete processed foods from my diet … . To save money on cooking spray and eat healthier, I wanted to invent my own Pam cooking spray. I went to Walmart and picked up a spray bottle for 97 cents (not even a dollar). Then I filled it with vegetable oil. Now when I need to coat a pan I just spray away with my own bottle filled with oil that I have previously bought in bulk. No more $3 cans of Pam for me. Hope your readers can use this tip."
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
We spoke to Abby by phone to see if she'd let us come by to make a demonstration video. We offered to bring a can of cooking spray so we could do a side-by-side comparison.
"It's the last can of Pam you'll ever buy," she said.
We love it when Cheapsters get cocky.
You can see Abby grease a pan in a video at http://www.mcall.com/onthecheap. You'll be impressed.
That cooking spray doesn't seem like much. A 6-ounce can of Pam is just under $3. But when you consider the cost per ounce, it's a huge markup from regular cooking oil, and you get some extra ingredients in that can.
We did some number-crunching in the On The Cheap lab and figure you'd save $295.40 over 20 years if you used Abby's method to make your own cooking spray instead of buying similar products by the can.
We reached out to ConAgra Foods, the Omaha, Neb., company that makes Pam cooking spray to see what they thought about Abby's tip.
"I asked one of our packaging technologists what he thought of this, i.e, whether oil would work well this way, but I didn't hear back from him," ConAgra spokeswoman Teresa Paulsen said.
Maybe he was busy shopping for spray bottles and cooking oil.
We credit Teresa for being quick on her feet, though. Often, corporate spokespeople shy away from us when we ask about lower-cost alternatives to their products. Teresa had a different approach.
"You could include that people should use Wesson oil if they choose to do this," Teresa said. "That's one of our brands, too."

In many businesses, having easy access to critical assets and the people who maintain them—as well as adequate time to make lasting improvements—is a rare opportunity. That's what many organizations have had over the past year (and what some will continue to have into the foreseeable future). In other words, most of us can look back at 2009 as truly being a time for maintenance.
Economic downturns give us a chance to make improvements that typically can't be accomplished (for whatever reasons) during more prosperous times. Remember, though, whether you're tapping into periods of slow production in a manufacturing plant, idle times in a transportation business or distribution center or vacancies in a commercial facility, that it's crucial to avoid engaging in/lingering over meaningless activities. Instead, it's important to spend your time and focus your energies on boosting the efficiency and effectiveness of your revenue-generating capabilities!
Last year, a period fraught with more economic challenges than we can count, was just such an opportunity for maintenance. Here's a summary of "lessons learned" from some of my favorite 2009 "Uptime" columns. Consider adopting them as New Year's resolutions to help improve your business' competitiveness in 2010—and beyond.
Lessons From Auto Manufacturing (January/2009)
This was not my first column about the automobile industry. In May 2007, I wrote about "The Rise & Decline of Auto Manufacturing" that pointed out how the "Big Three" U.S. auto makers were repeating the mistakes of the British auto industry and government in the 1970s—which help lead to that industry's downfall in the 1980s. Throwing money at any problem without a strategy to make far-reaching change typically does not work.
What we learned…
Factory Jobs Anyone? (April/2009)
Imagine: You're 15 years old, like new technology, built your own computer and have set up a wireless network. What would you like to do when you grow up? All "they" (i.e. your parents, teachers, counselors and other school administrators) seem to care about any more is math and science and what college you wish to attend. You, however, have other interests—making things, building things, solving things, figuring things out, investigating. But, then, you hear the news about the dismal industrial economy. Maybe one or more of your relatives, neighbors and/or friends' parents may have lost their jobs as manufacturing slowed down. Would you really be interested in learning more about working in a "factory?" Nah, doesn't register as an option.
What we learned…
Fill Out Work Orders? Who's Got Time for Paperwork? (May/2009)
Maintenance work orders are often seen as an extra burden to the maintainers, as well as to those who are requesting the work to start with. But without work order history, the maintenance organization is at risk and equipment problems will likely get worse.
What we learned…
Maintenance Is Not A Supplier (June/2009)
Maintenance as a "supplier" often gets trapped into "project work" that has nothing to do with actual maintenance. Thus, we must depart from the traditional "maintenance-is-the-supplier and they-are-the-customer" and "the customer-is-always-right" approaches; they rarely lead to sustainable reliability of equipment and processes. Maintenance is not THE business but rather an interdependent PART of the business.
What we learned…
Share This With Senior Operations Management (July/2009)
One of the BIGGEST challenges we have in the "maintenance arena" is being fully valued by our senior leadership. Many don't know that we are routinely asked to do so much non-maintenance work—which actually prevents us from doing productive maintenance work.
Without a clear policy, a set of expectations and dedicated resources, safety, quality and customer responsiveness will not happen. Likewise, without a clear policy, a set of expectations and dedicated resources, true "maintenance" will not happen. Imagine how unproductive and uncompetitive your business would be if employees did NOT respect the importance of safety, quality and customer service.
What we learned…
The Art Of Stewardship (October/2009)
The longer we tolerate the lack of good stewardship of our businesses' capital assets the more the attitude becomes "Why should I care?" People who are closest to the equipment and processes, closest to the facilities and machinery, are the ones who can make or break the competitive position of the business. Quite often, our challenge is to help everyone understand and appreciate that if we abuse or ignore equipment problems, we are potentially opening the door to the competition.
What we learned…
Looking ahead
NOW is still a time for maintenance…real maintenance that results in high-performing and reliable equipment, machinery and processes. Lessons learned from the past can be worthwhile as a vision for the future—not as hindsight relative to what we should have done. I've reminded you of these "lessons" from 2009 in the sincere hopes that we can make our businesses and America the most competitive, the most productive nation in the world. Let's go for it!

When we walked in, I immediately noticed that the decor was quite different. The original Mulate's has rather low ceilings, with a lot of wood posts and beams, and is somewhat dark. Thousands of business cards are tacked up all over the ceilings and posts. Patrons feel free to express themselves on the walls, and whether the music was live or recorded, the dance floor always had at least a few Zydeco lovers enjoying the music. The staff at the original was warm and welcoming.
The NOLA Mulate's looked like any other restaurant, but did have audible Zydeco. The staff was neither warm nor welcoming. At the original, my mother-in-law and I split a heaping plate full of crawfish and fries garnished with a sort of tartar sauce. The waitress brought us each an order of coleslaw and jambalaya. In addition, hot, buttery garlic toast was served.
In contrast, for a couple of dollars more, my in-laws attempted to split the order at the original. It would have been barely enough for one of them, much less the two. They didn't even have coleslaw on the menu, and there was no garlic toast. I had to ask for silverware AFTER our food had been served. There was no tartar sauce, and my sister-in-law received no salad with her soup and salad order.
The staff was quite unfriendly, and rather inept, besides. They didn't even sell the same T-shirts or hot sauce as the original. I'm not at all sure they're owned by the same people; I kind of doubt it. If you want true Cajun food and culture, rent a car and drive to Breaux Bridge for day. There you can enjoy swamp tours (at a quarter of the price, with four times the wildlife), Bayou cabins, Zydeco music, and good Cajun food - all spoken in that fun Cajun way by good, hospitable Cajun folk!

From football to track to baseball, the Husker men's teams made strides — but also hit some rough patches in 2012-13.
* * *
Big Ten regular season: First in Legends Division (then lost 70-31 to Wisconsin in Big Ten championship game)
Preseason prediction: After being the consensus favorite to win the Legends Division in 2011, Nebraska was picked third last season (behind Michigan and Michigan State). The Huskers also were No. 17 in the preseason Associated Press poll.
How it played out: It was a strange trip to 10-4, including 7-1 in the Big Ten regular season, as Nebraska seemed to ride the wave of inconsistency for a second consecutive season. The Huskers never got higher than No. 14 in the AP poll, spent three weeks outside of the rankings and settled for No. 25 after their third straight bowl loss. NU did recover from a 63-38 loss at Ohio State on Oct. 6 to win six straight to finish the regular season, but only one of those came against a ranked opponent (23-9 vs. No. 20 Michigan). The postseason then was marred by losses to unranked Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game and No. 7 Georgia in the Capital One Bowl (45-31).
Success or struggle: There were highs thanks to a prolific offense and its knack for comebacks, and there were lows because of a porous defense that was often outmanned. Taylor Martinez led the Huskers back from second-half deficits of 27-10 vs. Wisconsin, 28-16 at Northwestern, 24-14 at Michigan State and 20-6 vs. Penn State. But the quarterback also had costly turnovers against the Buckeyes and Badgers (in Big Ten title game) that helped push the snowball down the mountain with the Husker defense ill-equipped to stop it. The last two regular-season wins weren't pretty over Minnesota (38-14) and Iowa (13-7), but they secured the first division title since Nebraska joined the Big Ten.
Standout/star: Martinez broke the Huskers' single-season record for total offense, completing his junior year with 2,871 passing yards and 1,019 rushing. He will head into his senior season already holding the school record for career total offense. Martinez also was voted All-Big Ten by the league's coaches as he completed a career-high 62 percent of his passes and posted his first 1,000-yard rushing season.
Season high: Don't underestimate the depth of the hole facing the Huskers, and the intensity of the pressure on coach Bo Pelini, had Nebraska lost at Northwestern and dropped to 4-3 overall last Oct. 20. Instead, NU rallied for two scores in the final six minutes to win 29-28 in front of a throng of red at Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill. That started the six-game winning streak, the Huskers' longest in a season since 2001.
Season low: All the good will that Nebraska had built during the previous six weeks disappeared in the ugly 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis. The unranked Badgers were losers of four regular-season conference games, and they were at Lucas Oil Stadium only because Ohio State and Penn State were ineligible. They proceeded to score touchdowns on nine of their first 11 offensive possessions and also returned an interception for another score. The final damage was 640 total yards and 10.7 per play, leaving the Huskers without a bid to a BCS bowl for the 11th straight year.
Trending: Hard to tell. You might say up if you point to the return of Martinez and the many weapons that Nebraska will feature offensively. You might be skeptical until you see the Husker defense repaired and distanced from the meltdowns of the past two seasons (eight games of allowing 30-plus points and a 1-7 record in those matchups). It's just hard to see the Huskers in anything but neutral, however, until they solve their current run of failures in the postseason under Pelini — three straight bowl losses, three straight league championship game losses. But Pelini has delivered nine or more wins in five consecutive seasons, so there remains hope that the next step isn't that far off.

Men's track and field
Big Ten indoor meet: Fourth
Big Ten outdoor meet: First
Preseason prediction: Nebraska traditionally invests more money and recruits more aggressively than any other Big Ten program. Thus, the Huskers are perennially a favorite.
How it played out: After a disappointing indoor season filled with injuries and missed opportunities, Nebraska dominated the Big Ten outdoor meet for its first league title. At the NCAA outdoor meet, NU had three All-Americans: discus thrower Chad Wright, hurdler Miles Ukaoma and long jumper Janis Leitis. Wright, from Jamaica, continued the Huskers' legacy of strong throwing performances. Nebraska finished 15th overall. In the indoor meet, the Husker men finished 32nd.
Success or struggle: By the end of the year, when the Huskers' 400-meter relay team was among the nation's best, the season rounded the corner into a success. The indoor season didn't meet coach Gary Pepin's expectations, and he said so after a fourth-place finish at the Big Ten indoor meet.
Standout/star: Wright won the Big Ten outdoor shot put title and finished second at the NCAAs in the discus — his top event — one year after winning the national crown. Though Wright was second, he threw a career best of 209 feet, 1 inch in Eugene, Ore., showing he had peaked at the right time. NU's 400-meter relay team won the Big Ten outdoor title, while the 1,600-meter relay team won the indoor crown. Leitis, a one-year athlete from Latvia and 2012 Olympian, provided a boost in the 1,600 relay and the long jump.
Season high: Winning the Big Ten outdoor title was a validation the Husker men had wanted for nearly two years.
Season low: Finishing fourth in the Big Ten indoor meet fell far below Nebraska's expectations. The Huskers considered themselves favorites to win.
Trending: Slightly up. Look for the relay teams to keep improving. Sprints, too. Wright returns for one more year, so he's worth points at the Big Ten and national meets. The progress Wright has made as a shot-putter makes him a rare dual-threat thrower. NU needs more out of its distance runners, high jumpers and pole vaulters.
— Sam McKewon
Big Ten regular season: Tied for second
Big Ten tournament: Runner-up
Preseason prediction: The Huskers wanted to reach an NCAA regional for the first time since 2008. And with a rigorous nonconference schedule, building at-large credentials would be tough. Still, the Huskers had enough talent to compete for a Big Ten title and make a conference tournament run to earn the league's automatic NCAA bid.
How it played out: Not by design early on — Nebraska lost its first seven games, the program's worst start since 1942. The Huskers never made it back over .500. But they managed to stay in contention for the Big Ten's regular-season crown. In the conference tournament, they won three straight elimination games but ended the year with a loss to Indiana in the championship game.
Success or struggle: Struggle. Nebraska spent far too long waiting on an offense to click while also searching for reliable arms. And just when the Huskers would display their potential, they'd falter back to inconsistency.
Standout/star: Senior Chad Christensen, who started every game in left field on his way to an All-Big Ten first-team season. He led the team in batting (.364) and runs scored (45), while ranking second in RBIs (39). The former shortstop looked surprisingly comfortable in the outfield, too, finishing with eight assists and no errors.
Season high: A doubleheader sweep of Arkansas on April 16 at Haymarket Park. The day began with a combined no-hitter and ended with a dramatic eighth-inning rally to clinch the nightcap.
Season low: With a shot at a conference title still on the line, Nebraska collapsed on Senior Day. Michigan won 19-9, scoring more runs and recording more hits (23) than any NU opponent in five years.
Trending: Up, but just slightly. The Big Ten tournament run was an encouraging sign, but the Huskers were in that must-win situation because of their up-and-down performances all year. Their weekend rotation appears to be intact, which would be a first after two years of uncertainty on the mound for coach Darin Erstad. Half of the offensive production is gone, though, and NU will have to rely heavily on its recruiting class to replace those departed veterans.
— Jon Nyatawa
Big Ten regular season: Tied for sixth
Big Ten meet: Seventh
Preseason prediction: The young Huskers — just four seniors — were expected to compete in the Big Ten, but not win what might be the toughest league in any sport.
How it played out: Nebraska finished seventh in the conference tournament as 149-pounder Jake Sueflohn and 157-pounder James Green reached title matches. At the NCAA championships, NU was 13th with 174-pounder Robert Kokesh finishing third. Penn State won the national title, and three more Big Ten teams finished in the top six.
Success or struggle: Nebraska had a little bit of both. NU beat No. 5 Illinois in a dual, but lost to Maryland and Wisconsin, too. The Huskers weren't always healthy, which affected the lineup.
Standout/star: Kokesh, Sueflohn, Green and 184-pounder Josh Ihnen paced the program, finishing with 38-4, 24-7, 25-6 and 27-8 records, respectively. Only Ihnen used up his eligibility. Kokesh led the way with 63 dual points. He'll be a favorite for the national title.
Season high: An 18-15 upset of No. 5 Illinois at home showed that, when the Huskers wrestle their best, they're a top-10 team.
Season low: NU wasn't particularly competitive in dual losses at Penn State and Iowa, but not many teams are.
Trending: Upward. Nebraska returns the core of its squad and adds a recruit, Destin McCauley, who won five state titles in Minnesota and nearly made the 2012 U.S. Olympic team. It might be, top to bottom, coach Mark Manning's most talented team. But now the Huskers have to finish in the big meets, as they did when Jordan Burroughs wrestled for the team.
— Sam McKewon
Men's basketball
Big Ten regular season: 10th
Big Ten tournament: Defeated Purdue 57-55, lost to Ohio State 71-50
Preseason prediction: The Huskers were picked last, and it wasn't close. They were cellar-dwellers on 23 of 24 ballots (the other went to Illinois). With a coaching change and eight scholarship players available, little was expected.
How it played out: In many ways, Nebraska was one of the league's positive surprises. The Huskers finished 10th instead of the predicted 12th, claimed five league wins and picked up a rare victory in a conference tournament game.
Success or struggle: There was some of both. Nonconference wins against Valparaiso, Tulane, Wake Forest and USC were hardly a given. Winning a conference road game (Penn State) was a plus. But the Huskers lost nine games by between 15 and 31 points, an indicator of the big gap in talent and depth.
Standout/star: Senior Dylan Talley, playing under a new head coach for the sixth time in five years, moved from wing to point guard and carried the Huskers most of the season. His averages of 13.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists were impressive but don't do justice to all he meant to this team.
Season high: Rallying from a 19-point deficit in the first half Feb. 23 to defeat Iowa 64-60. That upset knocked the Hawkeyes out of NCAA tournament contention.
Season low: The five-game losing streak to start the Big Ten season. Though they weren't all blowouts, those setbacks showed how far Nebraska has to go to become competitive, much less victorious.
Trending: Up. Seven new players are set to join the active roster, which will make the Huskers far more athletic though inexperienced. And all seats are sold at the new Pinnacle Bank Arena, showing fans have bought into second-year coach Tim Miles' enthusiasm and sales pitch. But the NCAA tournament drought has reached 15 seasons.
— Lee Barfknecht
Men's tennis
Big Ten regular season: 10th
Trending: The Huskers finished the season on a seven-match skid, a disappointing end to a year in which NU cracked the top 40. With only two seniors leaving and three recruits coming — including a North Florida transfer — Nebraska should be stronger in 2014.
Men's golf
Big Ten tournament: Ninth
Trending: Three of the top five NU golfers from the Big Ten championships return, and redshirt freshman twins Aaron and Nathan Wong should help the cause next year. After finishing last at the Big Ten tournament in 2012, Nebraska seems back on more solid ground.
Men's gymnastics
Big Ten meet: Seventh (out of seven)
Trending: The Huskers had two seniors on a team that spent most of the season inside the top 10, so a push for the Big Ten and national crowns isn't out of the question next season. NU has to improve on the pommel horse, which hurt the team's score at the Big Ten championships.
Cross Country
Men's Big Ten meet: 11th (out of 11)
Women's Big Ten meet: 12th
Trending: These freshman-laden teams took their licks last year. They'll get better, but Nebraska has lacked a superior cross country runner since David Adams graduated two seasons ago. The men have twice finished last in the Big Ten meet.

March 30, 2014 - I love my cup. Just happens to be a shade of my favorite color and I love the paw print design.
February 18, 2014 - Before my mom passed away in August of 2013, my mom stated that she missed having some dog hairs in her food when she was living with us and enjoyed what we brought her that night to where she was living before she died. (our dogs Butterbean, Sally and Pumpkin always like to help in the kitchen and sometimes a few dog hairs get in the way.) When I was remembering her comment, I wanted to get this mug to be able to remember what she had said and then my mom laughed about it. What a wonderful memory! Love the mug.
December 22, 2013 - Just love it! It's a big mug and will make a great gift.
December 2, 2013 - I bought this for my husband!!!! I thought it was funny. He drinks his tea out of it every morning!!!

Jul 29, 2009
As the Obama Administration begins in earnest its plans to take up health care reform, how the media covers the debate at the outset will influence the public view of the issue and what happens next.
To what extent did health issues get covered in the national press during the first six months of the new Obama Administration? What were the topics and stories driving the coverage? How does the extent and focus of the coverage broadly compare with health news coverage in 2007 and the first half of 2008?
Overall, health news coverage is on the rise. And while attention in the early months of the year was more tied to public health issues like the swine flu and salmonella-tainted peanut butter, media attention to health policy increased sharply in June.
This report covers a six-month time period, from January through June 2009, and updates an earlier 18-month analysis of January 2007 through June 2008. Both reports were joint projects of the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism (PE J). The findings are based on an analysis of coverage of health in 55 different news outlets that were originally sampled as part of PEJ's ongoing News Coverage Index. The study includes the front pages of small, medium and large market newspapers; network TV morning and evening news programs; cable television news; news and talk radio and online news. A total of 1,568 health stories were analyzed for this report.

Tragic girl, tired of sex, the world has turned n left me here, and only in dreams(:
Do you other gals really feel like you can relate to most Weezer songs? I think RC definitely writes from a very masculine perspective most of the time (Pinkerton, for all its charms, is really a manifesto of a twenty-something sensitive man). Of course, it doesn't make me enjoy the music/lyrics any less - plenty of men can and do enjoy the work of bands like H*** and Bikini Kill and artists like Bjork. I think Cuomo when he's good is a clever lyricist, but I've just never heard him deliver a line that made me go "yeah! That's EXACTLY how I feel," y'know? I can certainly understand his male perspective, but being a woman, I don't feel as if the lyrics are written just for me.

Towson's Fratantuono earns CAA honor
Towson junior outfielder Dominic Fratantuono (Cardinal Gibbons) was named Colonial Athletic Association Co-Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday. In five games, Fratantuono batted .545 while leading the Tigers to four victories. He went 12-for-22 with eight runs scored, three doubles, one home run and 11 RBIs.
Other baseball honors: UMBC junior catcher Brandon Coluccio was named America East Player of the Week. Coluccio hit .583 (7-for-12) as the Retrievers went 2-2, losing to Georgetown midweek but taking two of three from conference-rival Binghamton to open league play. ... Salisbury sophomore left-hander Dan Fein was chosen as the Capital Athletic Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week.
Softball: Salisbury sophomore Rachel Johnson was selected as the CAC Pitcher of the Week for the third straight week after posting a 3-0 record in three appearances. Johnson threw 151/3 shutout innings, allowing eight hits and two walks while recording 30 strikeouts.
Et cetera
Wizards' Wall receives award after historic week
The NBA announced that Washington Wizards guard John Wall has been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Wall averaged 24.0 points, 11.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game while shooting .617 from the field, .800 from 3-point range and .857 from the free-throw line in leading the Wizards to a 3-1 record. Wall became the first NBA player since the 3-point era began in 1979-80 to average at least 24 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals while shooting at least .600 from the field, .800 from 3-point range and .850 from the free-throw line in a four-game span.
Major League Soccer: D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid was selected by the North American Soccer Reporters as Player of the Week. Hamid earned the honors after making seven saves in a scoreless draw against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday for his second straight shutout. Hamid's final save of the game came during stoppage time as he cleared a Brandon Barklage shot off the line with a last-ditch effort. Hamid leads the league in shutouts (two) and saves (13). Also, United announced that it has re-signed defender Daniel Woolard, a versatile defender who plays both left back and center back. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
