Search Engine Watch News
Hello Everyone--
My month started off great with a real vacation. It ended terribly, with multiple trips to the hospital. My wife took ill last week, then my mother-in-law who came to help me with my two kids got ill this week.
I'll spare you more details. Suffice to say, everyone's getting better now -- but I'm terribly behind!
I did manage to churn through a recap of the past month's worth of search news. I just didn't have time to do any proofing before my twice-pushed-back newsletter deadline. So, please forgive the typos that I know are lurking!
You won't find a recap of post-Google IPO stories in this issue. There are so many that it would require a separate newsletter to run them all. Instead, I'm planning a recap piece to go live later. Watch SearchDay, and you'll get alerted to this.
I also have a recap in the works of the many post Gmail launch stories that have happened. Along with reviewing all the privacy concerns being raised, I'll talk about my own experiences with Gmail. I've been using it for about two weeks and have already used about 10 percent of my 1GB quota. I get a lot of mail -- particularly, a lot of spam. So far, it's searching through what's there just fine.
I know, I know, I keep promising that big series on paid inclusion. It's still lurking, but it simply isn't one of those things I could finish up while the health fireworks kept exploding around my head. I'm diligently working to get them finished and going next week.
There are a few other stories that popped up in April and this week that I haven't run in this issue. Instead, I've given them a slightly longer treatment as standalone reviews. These will run next week, either within SearchDay or mentioned as being live on the site within that newsletter.
Within the web site, I've updated:
The comScore Media Metrix Search Engine Ratings with figures showing top search engines in the United States for February 2004, the latest available.
The Who Powers Whom? Search Providers Chart and the Search Engine Results Chart to reflect the use of Yahoo data on its own sites (Yahoo, AltaVista, AllTheWeb) as well as MSN's new use of Yahoo data.
The Major Search Engines page to reflect all the recent acquisitions and changes of the past few months.
The Search Engines And Legal Issues, Meta Tag Lawsuits and the Search Engine Advertising with new material and links on those subjects.
Links to all these pages can be found on the site's What's New page here:
Search Engine Strategies Toronto & London
Next week is our Search Engine Strategies show in Toronto. It will cover search engine marketing issues, just as with the SES shows held in the United States. However, the Toronto show will take a special Canadian look search engine marketing. It will have sessions specifically about Canada and involve local speakers. A full agenda and registration information can be found here:
Search Engine Strategies Toronto: May 11 & 12
In June, Search Engine Strategies comes to London. That show will have sessions about targeting the UK and Europe, as well as local speakers. Attend that, if you want to understand how to reach the UK and European audiences. The agenda has just been posted here:
Search Engine Strategies London: June 2 & 3
Search Engine Strategies returns to the United States from August 2-5 show in San Jose, to what's traditionally been our biggest show. Then October 27-28 sees the show come to Stockholm, and the year ends with a December 13-16 show in Chicago. Basic information about these shows can be found via the URL below:

Search Wars: Battle Of The Search Superpowers
SearchDay, April 29, 2004
We've long had competition in search, so why are we hearing so much about the search wars now? Because the few left in the wake of the portal wars are embarking on a new quest to secure their destinies on the search front. A look at how and why the current situation erupted, one that will no doubt gain further attention in the wake of expected public financial releases from Google.
Spam Rules Mean Nothing Without Effective Spam Police
SearchDay, April 27, 2004
Rules about spam mean nothing without effective enforcement by the rule makers, the search engines. Will they ever publish an offenders list? A look at how this would help and the impact better spam disclosure would have for searchers and marketers alike.

Revisiting The Meta Description Tag
The Search Engine Update, April 23, 2004
After recent changes with Google and Yahoo, how are page descriptions formed and does the meta description tag still have value? Yes! The tag offers no guarantees, but it offers the best chance of controlling how your pages are described. A tour of how descriptions are currently formed at several major search engines.

Blending the Best of Google and Amazon
SearchDay, Apr. 21, 2004
With little fanfare, Amazon.com subsidiary A9 launched its long-rumored Google powered search engine last week. But A9 goes beyond Google, offering a number of unique options, including some very cool personalization features.
Managing Search Marketing Campaigns
SearchDay, Apr. 20, 2004
While search engine paid placement campaigns can be immensely profitable, effective bid management can be time-consuming and can quickly become a drawn out game of chess, or tug of war, depending on your rules of engagement.
Search Engine Users: Loyal or Blase?

Images Get Their Own Search Engine
Forbes, May 4, 2004
Profile of new technology from Pixlogic which is designed to let you search for images based on what it has indexed from the image information, rather than from text describing the images. In other words, unlike typical image search engines, it really can "see" what the image is about. See also our Multimedia Search Engines page, http://searchenginewatch.com/links/article.php/2156251, for both a guide to existing image search engines and past articles about how search engines want to be able to really read images. Meanwhile, the AP has an article about new search engines designed to let you search for three dimensional objects: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,63077,00.html
Google Cover Story
BusinessWeek, May 3, 2004
Wide-ranging look at the challenges Google faces from competitors. Much of this will already be known to regular readers of this newsletter, but the article provides a good refresher. The Search Scrum graphic is terrible in giving Google the "edge" when it comes to advertisers, because Google has more than twice those of Yahoo. According to what numbers? Why Google's own. Both Yahoo and Google have tons of advertisers and more important, most search advertisers do them both because reach is unduplicated. Story also has links to Q&As with Google cofounder Larry Page (good questions, but no revealing answers) and CEO Eric Schmidt.
The One-Two Punch: SEO and PPC
ClickZ, May 3, 2004
Fredrick Marckini shares information out of a survey of search use that his company had conducted. Among the findings, 60 percent of clicks with to the free listings, the "natural," "organic" or "editorial" results that aren't sold. But on a per search engine basic, MSN was the lowest, getting only 29 percent of clicks to the editorial results. Google was the highest, at 72 percent. The message is that both free and paid should be considered together. I agree entirely. For more tips on getting the balance right, see this recent SearchDay article: Balancing Paid and Organic Search Listings, http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3095871. More about the survey of 1,649 people can also be found here: http://www.clickz.com/stats/big_picture/applications/article.php/3348071
All About Title Tags
SearchEngineGuide.com, May 3, 2004
The HTML title tag is one of the most important factors you can use to influence how your pages are found. Don't waste your opportunity. Jill Whalen provides tips to do better.
SuperGoogle: When All Is Known
ClickZ, May 3, 2004
Hate the headline, but agree with the sentiment. Forget whether we should have contextual ads in our email, whether a cookie might track our search requests and other specific privacy concerns. Instead, let's consider a new debate on what privacy rights we should expect from companies and governments, in the wake of the internet making information even more connected. Not said is how the focus on these things often puts the blame on "fixing" Google, rather than seeking fixes across the search engine industry as a whole. Rarely are such problems Google-specific. That's why an industry approach is needed, though it lacks the catchy headlines that get attention. (permalink)
People Want Google Domain Names!
ResourceShelf.com, May 3, 2004
Gary Price found more than 400 domain names were registered in April and May by people other than Google itself that contain the word "google" in them. He also provides a few highlights. I look forward to seeing what will show up on GoogleFoods.com. What you've got to especially enjoy is that right now, that site comes up with paid listings powered by Google's Domain Park program (http://www.google.com/domainpark/). In other words, someone who probably hopes to make money off of Google's name is indeed doing so -- from Google itself. (permalink)
India's secret army of online ad 'clickers'
Times Of India, May 3, 2004
A look at how people employed in India are paid to click on online ads.
T-Shirt Maker Claims He's "Gagged by Google"
ClickZ, April 28, 2004
Google's policy against "anti" sites gets more bad publicity, as a T-shirt maker finds he can't advertise his products that target US President George W. Bush or Democratic candidate Senator John Kerry. Pamela Parker rightfully takes aim at Google in this commentary: http://www.clickz.com/experts/brand/buzz/article.php/3347521. For more examples of this type of Google behavior, see my Search Engine Advertising page: http://searchenginewatch.com/resources/article.php/2156561#Paid Placement.

Viewpoint Search Toolbar for Internet Explorer : A class apart
Search Engine News Journal, April 30, 2004
Review of new search toolbar that combines Yahoo results with thumbnails of the sites found. You can get the Viewpoint toolbar here: http://search.viewpoint.com/. Oddly, while that URL also offers web-based searching, this appears to be without thumbnails.
Search Has Found Itself
Washington Post, April 28, 2004
You've seen this story before about the growth in revenues for paid search ads. But often forgotten are the search marketing firms that are also growing. Case in point, the mention of search marketing firm WebSourced looking to earn $15 million in revenue this year.
Google's Dave Girouard on the Future of Enterprise Search
Linux News, April 27, 2004
Part of the five percent of revenue Google does NOT generate off of advertising comes from enterprise search sales. This article is a Q&A with Google's general manager in charge of enterprise search services. Note the comment about Google having an "advantage" by seeing how consumers search across the web generally. This has definitely not been an advantage for past web search companies that have gone the enterprise search route before. Lycos, Excite, Infoseek, AltaVista, Inktomi, Ask Jeeves all are companies that tried to do both and jumped out of enterprise search. Open Text and FAST are companies that tried to do both and jumped the other way, into enterprise search and away from the web. Google is very much an exception still trying to play in both places.

Google fires back at Digital Envoy
News.com, April 26, 2004
Last month, Google got sued (see http://searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/3335091#geosuit) over its use of Digital Envoy's geotargeting technology. Now Google has filed its own complaint, asking for a judgment that it did no wrong. (permalink)
A Selection of Recently Awarded Search-Related Patents & Recently Published Search-Related Patent Applications
ResourceShelf.com, April 26, 2004
Gary Price's monthly round up of new search-related patents, for April 2004. Among these, a patent to Google for "Ranking search results by reranking the results based on local inter-connectivity." This sounds similar to a system has long been used by Google-competitor Teoma. It's also something many, including myself, suspect is already at work at Google and responsible for many of the changes seen back in December. More about that here: http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3285661 (permalink)
Pandia cloned by copyright thief
Pandia, April 25, 2004
Well-known search news site Pandia finds someone takes its entire web site, likely (and wrongly) assuming that just having Pandia's content would equate into Pandia's search rankings. A story of how Pandia fought back on several fronts.
Sorting Out SiteMatch
SearchEngineGuide.com, April 23, 2004
Remember the hoopla and fears many had about the rollout of Yahoo's new paid inclusion program. If you don't -- my upcoming series will remind you of the issues. But no need to wait for that. Barry Lloyd provides an excellent rundown on how free listings still survive, how past penalties haven't been lifted in the new program and how a Yahoo directory link appears to be a key way to boost a page
Microsoft To Bundle MSN Toolbar With IM Client
Internet Week, April 23, 2004
AOL has long bundled a search interface as part of its ICQ instant messaging software. Now Microsoft is doing the same. Yahoo also has done the same: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1573380,00.asp
Do What I Mean
PBS, April 22, 2004
I'll keep this simple. Again and again, natural language processing gets trotted out as some key solution to improving search, as in this article about a new technology from MeaningMaster. Natural language wasn't the reason why Ask Jeeves was originally successful (that was actually Ask Jeeves having over 100 editors actively reviewing search queries and picking good sites). Yes, it might help a bit with query refinement. But when the typical query is but one to three words long, there's not a lot of "meaning" to be analyzing.
AOL Opens More Doors to Its Search, E-Mail
eWeek, April 21, 2004
AOL joins the toolbar club by launching its own search toolbar (this after just about a year ago, the company talked of its software as the "mother of all toolbars). And hey, you can download your mail from AOL through third party applications like Outlook. You can get the toolbar here: http://ftp.newaol.com/aoltoolbar/download.html
Google and Akamai: Cult of Secrecy vs. Kingdom of Openness
Technology Review, April 21, 2004
Google is fond of numbers. You often hear about millions of queries, thousands of computers. But do the math, and the figures don't add up, this article examines. Is Google overstating? No, rather, it's likely understating to keep competitors in the dark. Interested in more about search technology?

Microsoft: Built From Scratch, The Interface Migrates to the Web
Searchblog, April 21, 2004
Fresh from a visit to Microsoft, John Battelle feels that Microsoft's late jump into search means they can fly high unfettered by past ideas and that MSN will be the company's way to preserve the operating system dominance it currently enjoys, in a time when desktops may become disconnected from the actual hardware we use (for more on that, see Welcome To The Google Desktop, http://searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/3335011)
SEM, Sales Assistance, and Proactive Communications, Part 1: Search Meets the Phone
ClickZ, April 16, 2004
Are you tracking your phone leads and relating them to search? Are you providing the ability to let those who find you via search call to place orders? Failure to do so could mean your conversions will suffer.
Grokking Furl: Storage, Search, and the PersonalWeb
Searchblog, April 19, 2004

Google Teams Up With 17 Colleges to Test Searches of Scholarly Materials
The Chronicle Of Higher Education, April 9, 2004
Google is teaming up with MIT and 16 other universities to create a way to search through their collections of scholarly papers.
MSN updates searchable news site
News.com, April 15, 2004
MSN lets those using its news search sites outside the US view their search histories, store material and view stories most read by others. Those in the US are still waiting for a similar service to happen. Tara Calishain also has a review here: http://www.researchbuzz.org/archives/001608.shtml
Some question Yahoo's 'paid inclusion' plan
Wall Street Journal, April 14, 2004
A month into its new paid inclusion program, this article finds a mix with advertisers. One assumed he should get rank boost and quit when he didn't. Another is happy that his entire site gets spidered. One says the program improved rankings -- though in a follow-up, he also acknowledge that this was after making search engine optimization changes in line with what Yahoo recommended. (permalink)
The Search Engine Wars
NPR, April 12-16, 2004
Good, five-part radio series that you can listen to online explaining how we got to the current interest in search.
Kerry gets served up with 'waffles' Web pranks twist results of searches
USA Today, April 12, 2004
A link bombing campaign makes Kerry in the top results for "waffles" at Yahoo (and now at Google, since this was written).

Make a Good Investment in In-Site Search Engines
ClickZ, April 9, 2004
Good reminder that getting people to your site via search engines is wasted if they can't find what they want when they get there, using your OWN search engine. Lots of tips to consider.
Federal judge rules copyright doesn't cover all Internet
USA Today, April 9, 2004
An important ruling gone by with little attention. A US district court judge rules that a search engine called YachtBroker.com did not violate copyright by gathering listing through crawling web pages. Of note is that pages contained within Boats.com, which was crawled, were ruled to be the property of the boat owners themselves. Bidder's Edge tried a similar argument when it was in a suit lost against eBay -- but there, trespass rather than copyright proved to be the winning issues. For more, see my legal issues page: http://searchenginewatch.com/resources/article.php/2156541#Crawling And Linking
Yahoo Changes Search Technology And Competitive Landscape
Wall Street Journal, April 8, 2004
Last month, I wrote how the switch at Yahoo to its own search technology didn't appear to have cost it users (see http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3334881). Here are more stats saying users haven't noticed the switch. Also interesting speculation that Google was surprised by Yahoo's quality. But index size as the most important fact? No, thank you. If anything, Google's increasing index size has helped make some of its results worse, in my opinion. At some point, I'll dive back in and explain this more. But the short answer is that as many have noticed, you increasingly seem to find links to other search engine result pages in Google.
Search Engine Monoculture
ResourceShelf.com, April 7, 2004
I agree entirely -- the loss of AltaVista's advanced features scares me. AltaVista had a wide-range of advanced search operators that Google lacked. Now that they are gone, Yahoo and others may have little incentive to bring them back. After all, they may feel they just need to match the lowest-common denominator of Google. Let's hope not.

Will Intermediaries Drive Local Search?
MediaPost, April 6, 2004
Local search is overhyped, says Jupiter Research. Local search is going places, says the Kelsey Group. Despite contrary viewpoints, both agree that local search needs to get much better for users, if it is to become a successful advertising medium.
Search Engine Mania
PC Magazine, April 5, 2004
Ugh. Ask Jeeves is not, and never was, a natural language search engine. Nevertheless, John Dvorak still views it this way. Sure -- Ask Jeeves used to bill itself has having these capabilities, but the real reason it did better with queries was simply because it employed lots of editors to hand pick results.
Despite this, Dvorak uses Ask Jeeves to show how bad natural language processing is, in order to demonstrate why he thinks Microsoft will fail in search. Since Ask isn't trying to do any processing like this, it's a bad example to use. Moreover, he praises Teoma as being a good example of the future of search. It begs the question -- did he realize it was Teoma results he was dissing at Ask Jeeves? Because that's where they were coming from.
Elsewhere, the Google cache gets praised as a killer feature, and he asks when someone else will duplicate this. How about Yahoo, which had done so for several months? (permalink)
Subtle PPC Differences Can Boost ROI

The Secret Source Of Google's Power
Topix.net Weblog, April 4, 2004
Rich Skrenta, a cofounder of the Open Directory and new news site Topix, ponders whether the giant network of cheap computers Google has built might translate into an entirely new computing platform.
SEM Power Politics: PACs, Nonprofits, and 527s
ClickZ, April 2, 2004
Search engine marketing hasn't yet been embraced by political campaigns and action groups, but that might be changing in the near future, Kevin Lee says.
A Conversation with Matt Wells
Enterprise Search, April 2004
Matt Wells knows search. He's currently the creator of the Gigablast search engine and an alumnus of Infoseek from way back in 1997. Here he talks about Gigablast with lots of great technical details, for those who want to know about how search operates under the hood. He's interviewed by another Infoseek alumnus -- founder Steve Kirsch. With respect, I'll disagree on two key points he makes.
Google's strength is not cached web pages, index size or search speed. It remains relevancy. Whether that relevancy is better or worse than other players is not clear. But the perception of good relevancy is what brought people to Google and which keeps them there.
As for the contention that PageRank isn't and wasn't that important to Google's success, it depends on how you define things. Google's blend of link analysis, of which PageRank is a part of, absolutely was key to making the search engine successful. Remember, Google once had a tiny index compared to the major players it was competing with. However, its link analysis system consistently helped the site bring out the best of the web, in the top results.
Whether the specific PageRank element itself was key to Google's success, I couldn't say. But let's be clear in understanding that PageRank is NOT the Google ranking system, as I've written many times before, such as here: http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3286101#pagerank (permalink)
Search Engine Resources
Combine the Nutch open source search engine with the Open Directory as a starter set of pages to index. That's mozDex. What's cool? The ability see how each page was scored in detail, though good luck deciphering it. What's very cool? The ability -- hurray! -- to see the anchor text pointing at a particular page. Absolutely awesome. Google and Yahoo so need to provide the same type of capability. What's not cool? Well, the relevancy, frankly. Threw in a few test queries and came away pretty unimpressed. Just keep thinking, "It's a beta." Creator Bryon Miller told me he hoped to have indexed 800 million pages by early May. A journal of the project has been started here: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=532
Slick. Get Google results with the PageRank of each page shown. Why doesn't Google do this? One reason -- it looks odd to see some pages with a higher PageRank come below those with a lower one. But that's also again proof as I've written many, many times before. PageRank alone doesn't trump. The link context and other factors also come into account.
MSN Sandbox
First we had Google Labs. Then Overture added its own experimental area, later redubbed Yahoo Labs. Now here's where the search folks at MSN are displaying their experiments. Links to those other labs can be found via my Search Technology page: http://searchenginewatch.com/resources/article.php/2156601

"...one of the best debut recordings ever made"
Elegance, class, and sophistication barely begins to describe the sound of Sade, the woman and the band. The 1984 debut album, Diamond Life, shimmers with glamour and style, a sleek, catchy hybrid of pop, soul and jazz. The album was driven by an irresistible sound, mood music that crosses over to dance with excellent musicianship and clever lyrics.
Diamond Life, spawned the band's first Top 10 U.S. hit, the bossa nova-tinged, "Smooth Operator" with its unforgettable sax work - a true classic. Other standouts are the swinging horn-peppered "Your Love Is King," the retro-funk of "When Am I Going to Make a Living," the tender and lovely "I Will Be Your Friend" as well as an imaginative remake of Timmy Thomas' 1971 hit "Why Can't We Live Together" (with an extremely long, brilliant jazzy intro heavy with congas).
Diamond Life had international sales of over six million, becoming one of the top-selling debut recordings of the '80s and the bestselling debut ever by a British female vocalist. There has never been a lead singer quite like former model Sade Adu, her cool vocals and exotic looks grabbed everyone's attention. Right from the group's image (her ponytails, large hoop earrings and backless dresses), and the fantastic blue-tinged black and white cover art (giving a retro look to match the sound), everything shimmers with a sultry yet subtle beauty, pulling you into an atmosphere of a midnight lounge or the club scene from which Sade emerged.
"Straddling R&B and pop to create the hooks and sultry allure that became Sade's soulful standard--intelligent and sexy at the same time."

Marlins very close to signing Moran
MIAMI — The Marlins are very close to finalizing a deal with Colin Moran, their first-round Draft pick.
The contract is expected to be finalized before Friday's 5 p.m. ET deadline for all teams to sign their picks.
Miami selected Moran sixth overall in June's First-Year Player Draft.
Moran is a left-handed hitting third baseman from the University of North Carolina. The slot value for the sixth overall pick is $3.5 million.
A deal could be completed by late Thursday.
– Joe Frisaro
2 Comments
Joe; Now that they have signed Moran, what about the other draft choices? Do they also have to be signed by today at 5:00PM? I haven't heard of anyone else being signed. Would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Vicky Smith will remain McHenry County College's president through 2015, thanks to a last-minute contract extension by outgoing board members.
Newly elected Trustee Molly Walsh, who was seated after the vote on Smith's contract last week, said she was disappointed the former board decided to act. The vote came amid community criticism and requests by Walsh and Chris Jenner, another new board member, to hold off. The vote was not contractually necessary until June.
Thomas Wilbeck was the third trustee seated last week after trustees Barbara Walters and Carol Larson lost their re-election bids. Trustee Dennis Adams did not run for another term.
Adams and Trustee Ron Parrish voted against the contract extension while Walters, Larson, Mary Miller, Linda Liddell and Cynthia Kisser voted for it.
Smith's supporters packed the board meeting to defend the quality of her work with a similar number of people speaking in opposition to the contract extension.
Walsh said the focus on Smith and her performance was unfortunate.
"That was not the issue," Walsh said. "The issue was the process. ... I wasn't challenging Dr. Smith's performance, I was challenging the whole idea of the retiring board making that kind of commitment for the new board."
A motion to postpone the vote by Parrish did not pass, ensuring new board members would not have a say.
Miller, who served as chairman of the board for the last meeting of her term Thursday, said the compensation portion of Smith's contract will be decided at a future meeting.
Smith first signed a three-year contract in 2010 with a starting salary of $195,000. Her current salary is $204,867, according to the college.
Miller said the new board will have the chance to decide on Smith's compensation in the context of the college's budget. But she said the decision about Smith's contract was one on which outgoing board members deserved a say.
"I think we were all pretty much in agreement that we had already done her evaluation and it was the duty of the current board to extend her contract, not the board that was going to be seated," Miller said.
While that view was contested, Walsh said there is no time to dwell on the issue because there is much else to be done.

Lynn strikes out 10 as Cardinals top Reds 5-1
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Lance Lynn struck out 10 in six sharp innings and rookie Matt Adams connected for his first career pinch-hit homer as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 on Tuesday night.
Reds starter Bronson Arroyo (1-1) retired the first 15 batters. The Cardinals broke through in the sixth, with Adams hitting a two-run homer and Allen Craig and Carlos Beltran also driving in runs.
St. Louis bounced back nicely a day after the Reds roughed up the bullpen for nine runs in the ninth inning of a 13-4 rout that made for a sour home opener.
Brandon Phillips had a sacrifice fly and Shin-Soo Choo had two hits for Cincinnati. The Reds were held to five hits, ending a run of four consecutive games with double-figure hit totals. Choo has four straight two-hit games.

Product details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Two years after their escape aboard the airship (the Jenny Haniver) at the end of Mortal Engines, Tom and Hester, now lovers, find themselves the twin objects of attention of a terrorist organisation called Green Storm. In the misguided belief that the grotesquely incomplete preserved body of their hero, Anna Fang, can be resurrected to ensure their anti-traction goals, they cite Tom and Hester as essential capture targets.
But when they take shelter aboard the once-magnificent city of Anchorage, after a bruising air battle with some of Green Storm's gun ships, Tom and Hester encounter a whole new set of problems. This prestigious ice city is heading disastrously towards America, the fabled Dead continent, under the guidance of the fraudulent explorer Pennyroyal. There is danger everywhere and the travellers must be careful to survive.
Sequels can sometimes disappoint, but the eagerly awaited Predator's Gold cannot be faulted. Reeve's exemplary novel has the depth to satisfy the most literary and demanding readers, and yet his story delivers enough verve and white-knuckle drama to keep the lighter readers well-served too. Neither is it a slight to describe this novel as full of old-fashioned adventure--because there is something reassuringly familiar about its accessibility. It has a whiff of the classic about it and that is certainly no bad thing. (Recommended for ages 10 and over.) --John McLay

UNCASVILLE (AP) — Diana Taurasi and DeWanna Bonner scored 19 points each to lead the Phoenix Mercury in an 89-70 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Saturday night.
Candice Dupree added 18 points and rookie Brittney Griner had nine points before fouling out as the Mercury (7-4) set a franchise record with their fifth straight road victory and completed a sweep of a three-game road trip for the first time in team history.
Penny Taylor, who missed more than a year with a knee injury, returned for the Mercury and scored eight points.
Tina Charles had 25 points and 11 rebounds to lead Connecticut (2-7), which lost its fourth straight. Charles shot 3 for 18 from the floor, but made was 19 for 24 on free throws — franchise records for both makes and attempts.

Abstract: | Background The publication of the DSM‐III (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 1980) prompted a significant increase in interest and research on personality disorder (PD), and the concept has subsequently been incorporated into mental health legislation in the developed world. Despite this, such research on people with intellectual disability (ID) has been sporadic, with widely varying results. The present study addresses a number of criticisms directed at previous research. Method DSM‐IV (APA, 2000) diagnoses of PD were made on 164 participants with ID on the basis of four independent sources of classification. Results Reliability data for each PD was acceptable and alpha was .74 or above, with the exception of schizotypal PD (.63). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted, with the former revealing a 4‐factor solution accounting for 58.9% of the variance, and a 2‐factor solution accounting for 37.2% of the variance emerging for the latter. The factors were orthogonal, and we called the first factor "avoidant/rumination/inhibited" and the second factor "acting out". Discussion We review these findings in relation to previous research on PD and alternative frameworks for the understanding of personality. We hypothesise consistencies between these findings and previous work on personality and ID. A number of drawbacks to the research are discussed, including a caution on the pejorative nature of a diagnosis of PD in an already devalued population. |

Cancellation / Nonrenewal : Docket No. INS-07-2052 Decision
Archives: 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011| 2012 | 2013 | 2014 Christopher & Louisa Scott v. MMG Insurance Company The insureds requested a hearing following receipt of a notice of homeowners insurance coverage nonrenewal citing certain conditions of the property. At hearing, the company presented evidence of the conditions and stated that it had originally given the insureds a certain amount of time to complete other repairs but upon the discovery of two additional hazards, the company decided it could no longer insure the property past the expiration of the policy. The insureds maintained that the company has insured the property for many years with one of the conditions present. Held: For the company. An insurer may decline to renew a policy for a good faith reason related to the insurability of the property or a cancellation ground pursuant to section 3049. 24-A M.R.S.A. § 3051. The company has demonstrated that two of the conditions articulated in the notice of nonrenewal exist on the property, and it explained how those conditions are related to the insurability of the property. Although the company issued loss control recommendations regarding the other issues, it is not proposing to decline renewal of the policy based upon those issues. The company proposes to decline renewal of the policy because of two separate conditions of the property. The company has demonstrated that these two conditions are good faith reasons related to the insurability of the property. The company has further demonstrated compliance with the notice requirements of § 3051. The company may decline to renew this policy. Last Updated: January 16, 2014 |

We are not in 1995 anymore. Most of the contents on the web is dynamically generated, maybe except personnal pages. Someone mentionned that you can write code so that a databse driven website is displayed in tuly static pages. What's the difference? It's only technical, in order to make google "think" that your website is static. mod_rewrite can make that. We speak of that only for the sake of search engines. There is absolutely no reason to think that a piece of information is more relevant if it comes straight from a manually-written html page instead of a database. The only concern is for search engines to be able to find the information. The guidelines that Google provide mix technical concerns with anti-spam and relevancy concerns. They give you guidelines in order to make your page clear and concise, which is in my opinion the only thing you should care about in an ideal world. And they also tell you not to use ID as a variable... what's the point? Does a variable named FOO is more relevant than ID? And does it tell that the contents as more stability? You may argue that technical concerns are very important to be indexed in Google, and indeed they will make you indexed or not. But, doesnt Google tell you, in the same page, to build your website for users, not for search engines? This is very contradictory with some of their other advice. Because if I build only for my users, maybe search engines won't crawl my website at all, and the users who may be interested in my onformation will never find me. For example, I may build a website in flash for users who are 16 y o and want things to move. Then I think of my users. But I will never be found. And I cannot cloak either, even to help Google know what I'm talking about in the contents that it cannot see. The point is, Google increasingly adapts to the reality, and will continue to do so. It began to index dynamic URLS with lots of variables, because these URLS display information that you cannot overlook when you want to be the reference to find information. I think that we, as webmasters, can work in order to help Google, but Google also has efforts to make in order to index information that users want to find. And it cannot judge wether this or that type of page is interesting or not, only users can. If users are interested in pages that come from a database, Google will fall if it doesnt permit you to find them. That's why it does permit you to find them. Google don't make us a favor when they index our pages. It's their job, and they make money out of it. We, as the internet community, give them a lucrative present by making them the nevralgic center of the web. We can therefore have hope that they will increasingly adapt to the reality of 2006 : Flash contents, dynamic websites, etc.
When a user sees a dynamic url they are bound to believe it is not as pertinent as a well thought out HTML page

Designer description excerpt:
The merino-linen blend I used for this kimono produces an exquisite knitted fabric that combines matte and shiny in a heathered texture. It recalls the aura of genteel aging. This slightly fitted sleeveless top has a stand-up collar and a Fair Isle band that defines a subtle curve from center front neck to right hip and hides a placket opening at the neck. The fine gauge yields a lightweight knitted fabric that is suitable for year-round wearing.
Fair isle band is charted.

Our story a couple weeks ago about former openly gay college football captain Brian Sims received a lot of attention, and Sims himself got tons of reaction. He said he received hundreds of emails and they are still coming in. Brian has spent hours and hours responding to all of the messages, taking the opportunity to reach out to so many gay athletes who were moved by his story. In October, Sims will be working with the Penn State Athletics Commission on understanding of gay athletes. Brian filled us in on the last couple weeks since the story came out.
Outsports: About how many emails have you received and where have they been from?
Brian Sims: I've received about 300 emails so far. To date, I've received emails or messages from [30 states and] Saudi Arabia, Iran, Australia, Brazil, France, Indonesia, Singapore, Croatia, England, Philippines, Canada, Turks and Caicos, Costa Rica, South Africa and New Zealand.
OS: What was one story you've heard from someone that really hit home?
Sims: I've had a lot of stories that really hit home. [One was from] a 15-year-old wrestler who came out to his team by sending the article to all of them. I asked him specifically if I could repeat his story or share some of it with redactions and he said no. One other story that hit home was the following, which was forwarded to me by a local judge:
My best friend just realized he is gay (he's 27), after many years of wondering why women "did nothing" for him. He just thought he was asexual and a misfit...now, he realizes he was just afraid to look at men. Once he got past the fear, he realized his strong attraction to men.
What made that story so important to him and me is that my friend is a total jock...football lover...baseball lover...and he played football his whole high school/college career. As this whole thing has unraveled, he feels out of place as a jock, and then, conversely, out of place as gay. He is just your typical meathead jock (no offense to my friend!) who has wanted to play running back his whole life...
This article showed him how there is no stereotype, for jocks or gays, and it just made him break down and cry, he was so relieved that he wasn't alone. He is currently crying at his desk at work.
This is a really crucial time for him, obviously, and he's very emotionally fragile (thank god, he is seeing a therapist). This article just lifted him up so much, it was incredible. It hit him on so many levels, and I just can't tell you enough that you may have almost saved his emotional health by posting that. It was exactly the right article at the right time. For all I know, you may have almost saved his psyche, if not life, by posting that. So I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
He is also worried that he will never meet a guy with his same interests...and I think this showed him that there are many people out there JUST LIKE HIM. He isn't ready to come out yet, but he does want to meet someone with similar interests and he never thought such a man existed.
Know that you did a really good deed! :) Good luck with the campaign, and thank you again.
OS: Have you have any negative responses?
Sims: I've not gotten a single negative response. One gay guy in England was a little pissed that I'm a supporter of gay marriage when PRO-LIFE should be my issue, but that wasn't really on point.
OS: Have you heard from former teammates?
Sims: I've heard from a couple of former teammates, mostly guys that I keep in touch with anyway. They were all pretty happy about the article and expectedly supportive. A few teammates who I can't identify (none of my close friends, to my knowledge) have posted on a couple of different sites about this and it got picked up by www.d2football.com which is the Div II football website. [One response was]:
I played football with Sims at Bloomsburg too and although I don't know who the other teammate of ours that posted above is, I agree with him completely. Sims was an incredibly unique guy to play football with and to have led our team. He was such a part of the character and identity of that football team that it's hard to imagine those years without him. He was always looking out for his teammates and the younger players. Even though he was usually hanging out with the team, everyone knew he was very smart and got really good grades.
Being a part of a team with a guy like Sims is something I'll remember forever. After kicking your ass all day at practice, this guy would show up at your house at midnight to help you finish a paper you had due the next day. It was strange, he was a hot shot in every way possible at Bloomsburg but you'd never have known it if you were around him.
To this day I still have people ask me if I knew Brian Sims and what he was like outside of the classroom. I always respond that he was one of the best football players I ever played with but without a doubt, was the best leader I ever played for. He was an incredible guy in college and when I see him now, he's still the same guy - fun, friendly, and smart.
OS: What would you say to an athlete or former athlete thinking about telling their story to Outsports?
Sims: To former athletes I would say that clearly it's never too late to make an impact by your story. I haven't played football in 9 years and quite frankly, I'd sort of figured that my being a gay football captain wasn't that special anymore. I have certainly learned otherwise. These types of stories are so important to other lgbt kids and athletes who are unsure of themselves but it's almost more important for straight people and allies to hear that this is pretty common and that a non-shaming, kind-hearted reaction can be the norm. Let's give straight people the reason and opportunity to be supportive and not let them stay saddled with the expectation that they have to be hateful or judgmental.
To current athletes, I can only say that I have heard from COUNTLESS former athletes who truly regret not saying something earlier. Sure it's a scary proposition to approach those in "your world" and tell them that you're not exactly like they are, but the truth of the matter is, every coach, player, cheerleader, that you come in contact with, knows a gay person somewhere - the odds are they love and respect them. I can't tell anyone to be a hero, but stepping out as a current athlete is certainly heroic.
Brian Sims can be reached via email.

The tragic story of Savita Halappanavar
The inevitable has happened. A woman has died because she was denied an abortion, in an Irish hospital, that would have saved her life. She was told she could not have one as "this is a Catholic country".
The fact that over 3,000 women are forced to travel to England or elsewhere in Europe every year to have their pregnancies terminated has been ignored by successive cowardly Governments for decades. But the death Savita Halappanavar in Galway last month, finally, could not be ignored.
Savita Halappanavar, who had been in Ireland with her husband Praveen since 2008, presented at Galway University Hospital at about 9 am on Sunday 21 October. She was 17 weeks pregnant and had severe back pain. She was told she was miscarrying and that it would be over in a few hours. However, according to her husband Praveen, his wife went on to endure four days of "agony" during which time she asked repeatedly that the pregnancy be terminated.
He says that this was refused because the foetal heartbeat remained present, that the legal situation in Ireland did not permit a termination in such circumstances and that "this is a Catholic country". She protested, he continues: 'I am neither Irish nor Catholic' but again was told there was nothing medical staff could do while the foetal heartbeat remained. She became clearly ill – shivering and vomiting – during the course of Tuesday 23 Oct, he says. The foetal heartbeat stopped in the afternoon of Wednesday, 24 October, the foetus was removed and
Savita was taken to intensive care where she deteriorated rapidly, suffering multi-organ failure on Saturday and dying in the early hours of Sunday 28 October. She had contracted septicemia and an Ecoli infection, a pathologist found.
Needless death
Her husband brought his young wife's body home to Belgaum in the Karnataka region of south-west of India on 1 November and she was cremated on 3 November. Speaking from India he has been adamant that if Savita's pleas for a termination had been listened to she would have survived the ordeal.
"How could they leave the womb open for days? It was all in their hands and they let her go. How can you let a young woman go to save a baby who will die anyway? Savita could have had more babies."
It is galling now to hear the pro-life brigade pontificating about whether a woman has a right to ask for a termination of a pregnancy she cannot carry to term, for whatever reason. As an editorial in the respected Times of India put it: "The ban on abortion therefore ended up taking a life that need not have been lost. How does that square with viewing the ban as pro-life?"
Ireland has among the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe. It remains illegal under the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, though referendums in 1983 and 1992 have seen some protections for pregnant women seeking information about abortion services abroad and wishing to travel for abortions, inserted into the Constitution. A High Court ruling in 1992 also stated that abortion was legal in cases where there was a threat to the life, as distinct from the health, of the mother.
What this amounts to for doctors and women is a legal mess, wherein it remains unclear what a threat to the mother's life is, as distinct from a threat to her health. It has meant that since 1992 doctors must make judgment calls on whether to intervene in emergency situations such as Ms Halappanavar's, where an unborn but unviable foetus remains alive, where there is a possible risk to the mother's life if they don't intervene, but where they may be prosecuted if they do.
The class dimension
There has always been a class dimension to Irish abortion, with those who can afford to travel being able to access abortion, and those who can't forced into dire circumstances. In the Halappanavar case, again, we see that a public patient presented at an understaffed hospital and died over a bank-holiday weekend when staffing resources were stretched to the limit. If this young woman had presented to a private consultant things may have been quietly much different. A woman's choice in that situation may have been listened to.
The Labour Party calls itself a pro-choice party and yet it voted against Clare Daly's bill to provide for the introduction of legal abortion in Ireland. Fine Gael has said it will not countenance the introduction of legal abortion. The all-party review group report, which we are told sets out the options for the Government in responding to the European Court of Human Rights ruling that Ireland must legislate on the issue, was submitted the night before news of Savita's death broke.
This simple fact: women's bodies are women's bodies, for women to decide how they will be used and what should happen to them, can no longer be ignored.
As we, in our tens of thousands, take to the streets to demand that this no longer be ignored, to demand that there never ever be another Savita Halappavanar, or another X case, or another C case, we will no longer be ignored.

Simple transforms for obtaining canonical representation of multiple-valued (MV) functions in polarity k, k in (0, 1,. . ., p/sup n/-1), are presented, where p and n denote the radix and the number of variables of a function. The coefficients in a canonical representation are called spectral coefficients. Various relationships between the functional values of a function and its spectral coefficients are given. Fault detection in an arbitrary MV network is considered using test patterns and spectral techniques. Upper bounds on the number of test patterns for detection of stuck-at and bridging faults at the input lines are shown to be pn and n-1, respectively. Fault detection by spectral techniques is done based on the number of spectral coefficients affected by a fault, and hence it is independent of the technology used for construction of networks and the type of fault. Test set generation for detection of any fault in (E), where (E) denotes all faults in the network, is given. An upper bound on the number of test patterns required to detect all faults in (E) is obtained.
