It is often difficult to decide whom to call: your oncologist or your PCP. During active treatment, most oncologists prefer to hear from you about anything that is happening. They may sometimes suggest that a particular complaint would be better suited for your PCP, but they generally want the chance to evaluate a symptom or issue and decide whether it is related to cancer or cancer treatment. Once chemotherapy and radiation are done, it can be even more confusing whom to call. Some people always want to call the PCP, hoping to minimize their own anxiety that the problem might be cancer. Others always want to call the oncologist, hoping for quick reassurance that it is not a cancer-related problem. It would be smart to have a conversation with your own doctors about your own preferences.
This is an article from Support Care Cancer about these two roles. I give you the introduction and a link:

PURPOSE: Little is known about the actual involvement of the general practitioner (GP) during the active breast cancer treatment phase. Therefore, this study explored (disease-specific) primary health care use among women undergoing active treatment for breast cancer compared with women without breast cancer. METHODS: A total of 185 women with a first diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer between 1998 and 2007 were identified in the primary care database of the Registration Network Groningen and matched with a reference population of 548 women without breast cancer on birth year and GP. RESULTS: Since diagnosis, patients with breast cancer had twice as many face-to-face contacts compared with women from the reference population (median 6.0 vs 3.0/year, Mann-Whitney (M-W) test p < 0.001). The median number of drug prescriptions and referrals was also significantly higher among patients than among the reference population (11.0 vs 7.0/year, M-W test p < 0.001 and 1.0 vs 0.0/year, M-W test p < 0.001). More patients than women from the reference population had face-to-face contacts or were prescribed drugs for reasons related to breast cancer and its treatment, including gastrointestinal problems, psychological reasons and endocrine therapy. CONCLUSIONS: During the active breast cancer treatment phase, GPs are involved in the management of treatment-related side effects and psychological symptoms, as well as in the administration of endocrine therapy. Based on the findings of this study, interventions across the primary/secondary interface can be planned to improve quality of life and other outcomes in patients undergoing breast cancer treatment.http://www.springerlink.com/content/61324m60111877j7/

How do you feel about the way performers act and behave on stage now?
Oh, I...I don't know.
I really can't criticize anybody in the entertainment field.
I think there's room for everybody.
I hate to criticize another performer.
Are you satisfied with the image you've established?
Well the image is one thing, and a human being is another, you know.
So. It's very hard to live up to an image.
I'll put it that way.
What kind of audiences do you find you attract now?
Well I found that in the audiences that we have, that it's mixed.
It's older people, younger people, and the very young.
And all types of people, you know, which is good.
I just made a movie of... of the last tour that I did, it's the first live concert that we ever filmed, so that's my next project that's coming out.
There's so many places that I haven't been yet.
Like, I've never played New York here.
I've never been to Britain either.
I'd like to, yes sir, very much. I'd like to go to Europe.
I'd like to go to Japan and all those places.
I've never been out of this country except in the service.
Yeah, I'd love to go there.
Elvis, what made you decide to finish your movies and continue with live appearances?
I just missed it.
I missed the closeness of an audience... of a live audience.
So just as soon as I got out of the movie contracts, I-ah I started to do live performances again.

The Mini is Apple's weakest offering
I think the iPad mini is Apple's weakest offering. It doesn't live up to the iPad standard because it doesn't have a retina display. It's not as powerful as an iPhone because it isn't small enough.
There's not enough packed into it that makes it a desirable product. It's like most tablets that are release where it's a generation behind from the moment that it's released. It's on the iPod touch standard now. It's there, but it's just not a flagship product. If you compare it to the Galaxy Note, it's not even as good because it has no calling capabilities.

Typing this from my mini at the moment, as for my family and I we absolutely love our mini! Very desirable to my 8 year old daughter, my wife who loves her retina iPhone 4 and myself who has been an apple user since 2003... We use it more than our MacBook and it fits perfectly in my youngest daughters diaper bag for easy carry on long and short trips. So I would venture to say we aren't the only family who is in love with our mini.

I agree.
The mini is weak, they just made it because they knew they had to compete with the Nexus 7. I hate when people say the regular ipad isn't portable as if its 15 pounds. I don't see the point in having a mini if I have an iphone 5. To me the mini doesn't do anything better than either iphone 5 or ipad. mini is good for kids and women so they can put it in their purse. |

I could tell you what compelled me to buy every Apple product I own. But as for the mini, there was nothing that compelled me to buy it. If the iPad mini is not their weakest offering, what is?
I looked at it for about 5 seconds. |

Wow. I haven't stopped bye in a while. As I anticipated months ago, the Mini would fall short and it did in one particular area, form-factor. I've been happily carrying my Nexus7 in most of my overcoats while my Mini toting buddies have to stow them in carry cases and the such. I do wish I had two cameras rather than one but hey, I saved $200 over the Mini.
So we shall see what 2013 brings in the way of new tablets.

It's not the full experience of an iPad for sure, but it seems to hit the spot, in that it will do most of what people want from an iPad. For me however I make good use of the retina screen so ipad4 all the way for me.

Something about the iPad mini is missing. I mean it's literally a carbon copy of everything else Apple makes. Just a different size. Does anyone else think that they whipped this up in response to the rumors? It just feels that way. |

Did Apple ever give a reason for not having retina? I mean, retina is like, a no-brainer. It still boggles my mind. You do legitimately feel a difference. I look at the iPad mini as an iPad 1 chopped in half.
And if they come out with a mini 2 with retina, I'm just going to say, "Nope, too late!" |

I love my iPad Mini and my 11" Macbook Air. I also have an iPad 3 and it just sits unused, because while it may have a superior display, the Mini has the better form factor for my use. I use the Kindle app and the full size iPad just gets too heavy after a while.

"It's not as powerful as an iPhone because it isn't small enough."
Huh? What does that even mean? If you're trying to get people to see your point of view, it helps to have a coherent point of view. If I gave you an iPad Mini tomorrow, you'd love it. Desire it. Use it every day. Your post is a thinly veiled attempt at rationalizing why you don't/can't have an iPad Mini. Yes, the iPad Mini is a sour grape, right up until you taste one. |

They're disagreeing when you say that it's not very desirable. Because the mini looks to be loved by many. That extra $100 over a nexus 7 is a premium. Apple always charge a premium for it's logo. I know it sucks, but once you get past that, it's a very desirable product. And I've learnt that the app experience is extremely crucial. In my experience, I had to look for android tablet apps for my dad's note 800. Only a few months ago. The experience sucked so much. 1. Despite the note 800 having a resolution barely higher than Samsung's phone, the apps were very very pixelated. Really, why can't Google also make a distinction between tablet and phone apps? 2. Building on that, another app I downloaded was clearly built for a phone. Everything in the app was at right top-right corner. Stupid. After that, I gave up. Google, IMO, did a very bad move by blurring the distinction between a tablet and phone app. It's up to the developers to include "HD" at the end of their app. That's a reason why people would want the iPad. Apps. It does it much better than android tabs

Minor in Writing
Effective Winter 2014
The Minor in Writing is designed for undergraduate students who are interested in developing their disciplinary and professional writing abilities while pursuing concentrations across the liberal arts and sciences. This minor complements students' primary course of study by promoting discipline-specific writing competence, expertise in new media, and rhetorical awareness across a range of genres and modes. This minor is particularly advantageous for students who may already be completing writing-related coursework (or have an interest in completing such coursework) and wishes to earn a credential that certifies their writing expertise to prospective employers and graduate programs.
Students completing the Minor in Writing develop an electronic portfolio of the writing they produce throughout their undergraduate career. The e-portfolio provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their development as writers, demonstrate their proficiency in visual rhetoric and new media writing, and showcase their writing abilities. These e-portfolios are created in WRITING 220 and finalized in the capstone course, WRITING 400.
Students who complete the Minor in Writing will demonstrate the ability to:
- Produce complex and well-supported arguments that matter in academic contexts.
- Use flexible strategies for organizing, revising, and proofreading writing of varying lengths and genres.
- Identify and implement rhetorical choices responsive to the demands of specific genres, audiences, and rhetorical situations, both academic and non-academic.
- Compose in a variety of modes, including a range of new media.
- Identify the expectations that characterize writing in their concentration, and use this knowledge to write effectively in a range of genres in that discipline.
- Use meta-language regarding writing processes, rhetorical choices, genre expectations, and disciplinary discourse to discuss writing-in-progress and writing development over time.
- Collaborate with other writers to improve writing-in-progress and produce co-authored documents.
Prerequisites to the Minor:
Students must have satisfied the First-Year Writing Requirement with a final grade of C or higher, have declared a major by the end of the term they apply to the Minor in Writing, and have at least three full terms remaining in their program. Transfer students who satisfy the FYWR with a transfer course approved by Sweetland will need to show proof of receiving a grade of B or higher.
Students must apply to and be accepted by the Sweetland Center for Writing to be declared in the minor. Students must be able to enroll in WRITING 220 in their first term in the minor.
Requirements for the Minor:
At least 15 credits of courses. Students must complete the following courses, with an average minimum GPA of 3.3 for courses applied toward the minor:
- WRITING 220: Introduction to the Minor in Writing (3), which must be taken in the student's first full semester after being accepted into the minor.
- One of the following courses:
- WRITING 200: New Media Writing (only when taken for 3 credits)
- ENGLISH 225: Academic Argumentation (4)
- ENGLISH 229: Professional Writing (4)
- ENGLISH 325: Art of the Essay (3)
- One Upper-Level Writing Requirement course in the major, which may also satisfy a requirement for the major (3-4)
- One additional Upper-Level Writing Requirement course which cannot satisfy a requirement for the major (3-4)
- WRITING 400: Advanced Rhetoric and Research (3)
Admission Policies and Application Procedures
Applications will be considered twice a year, in March and October. Students must apply to and be accepted by the Sweetland Center for Writing in order to declare the Minor in Writing.
Requirements for the application:
- Applicants must have completed their First-Year Writing Requirement with a final grade of C or higher. Transfer students who completed the FYWR with a transfer course approved by Sweetland will need to show proof of receiving a grade of C or higher.
- Applicants must have at least three full terms remaining in their program.
- Applicants must be able to enroll in WRITING 220 in their first semester in the Minor.
Materials for application:
- Completed application form available on Sweetland's website
- Letter of interest
- Writing sample from any college course
- Unofficial U-M transcript (available through Wolverine Access)
Admissions process and criteria:
- Submit all materials by the posted deadline. The admission process is competitive and space is limited.
- Application materials are reviewed by a committee of Sweetland faculty, who make admissions recommendations based upon the quality of the writing sample, the reasons given for applying to the minor and student's overall academic performance.
- Students are notified of the decision via email prior to the beginning of registration.

CNNMoney's Fear & Greed index has swung into to Extreme Fear mode on Syria fears. Click the graphic for more about the index.
Experts say that these ups and downs could continue. Volatility is back.
The key metric for measuring market volatility, the VIX (VIX), has spiked nearly 40% since early August. The index jumped 12% Tuesday as the possibility of a U.S.-led military strike on Syria rattled investors.
And CNNMoney's Fear & Greed index, which tracks the VIX and six other gauges of market sentiment, has swung into Extreme Fear mode. Just a month ago, it was showing Greed.
"There are a combination of headlines that are all hitting the market simultaneously and resulting in increased volatility," said Todd Salamone, director of trading at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
Related: Investors are overreacting to Syrian fears
The tension in Syria is just the latest thing to spook the market.
Investors' nerves had already been frayed by concerns about when the Federal Reserve will begin to taper its $85 billion a month bond buying program. The Fed's policy committee meets next month and may decide to pull back on its asset purchases then.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew's warning that the United States will hit the debt ceiling in October is also making investors nervous. The debate over raising the debt ceiling is likely to be tense and messy as its gets tied into the broader budget battle this fall.
Related: Syria fears awaken gold bugs
Given the heightened uncertainty in the market, "it wouldn't be surprising if volatility remain elevated," said Salamone, though he doesn't expect a dramatic increase from the current levels either.
The last time the market faced a sudden rise in volatility and fear was in June, when the Fed tapering fears first began to take hold. That month, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq logged their first monthly declines for the year, falling more than 1% each.
Stocks bounced back in July, but August is shaping up to be the worst month for the market in over a year. Barring any major rally, the Dow is on pace to end the month with a 4% drop, while the S&P 500 is on track for a nearly 3% slide. The tech-heavy Nasdaq has held up well, and is down less than 1% for the month.
For Kim Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group, the spike in volatility isn't the worst thing in the world. If stocks continue to pull back, that may create buying opportunities.
"I have a lot of stocks that I've been wanting to work into my portfolio but thought [they] have been overvalued," she said. "I want to buy a great company, but I need to buy it at the right price."

For as long as Outlook has existed, there have been problems when you copy or move many items around. Here are some suggestions from years of experience and frustration.
When transferring many items, Outlook gets bogged down terribly. You'll get 'Not Responding' messages that may or may not clear after a few minutes. It's common to get system resources errors that seem to be related to moving many items at once.
In recent versions the copy/move command has been a little more reliable, especially for transferring an entire folder. It appears that some code was changed to transfer entire folders in segments rather than all in one hit.
The problems are more common when transferring between data stores (ie between PST or OST's). Transferring within a single data store doesn't seem to bother Outlook so much.
How many items is 'many' and might cause trouble in Outlook? That depends on the computer, version of Outlook and seemingly the relative position of the sun and moon <sigh>. Outlook should be able to handle under 1,000 items without trouble but there are no guarantees. As they say in car ads "Your mileage may vary".
When moving/copying items, you may see '(Not Responding)' appear in the Outlook title bar and you can't do anything in Outlook.
Usually this fixes itself. Outlook gets consumed with itself while transferring many items but usually the 'Not Responding' message disappears after some time and you can continue using Outlook.
If you get any errors that suggest the system is out of memory or system resources – then it's time to close down Outlook entirely and restart.
It doesn't matter how much memory or free memory you have on your computer – once Outlook gives one of those error messages you need to restart the program.
You can copy then paste Outlook items using the clipboard shortcuts (Ctrl + C etc) however that appears to make things worse. The Windows clipboard grows very large and causes errors.
We strongly suggest you copy/move items using the Outlook menu choices (right-mouse click, ribbon or menu) because that seems less resource intensive.
Outlook handles copying entire folders better than many selected items within a folder.
Whenever possible, copy an entire folder between data stores (ie PST or OST). Once in the new data store you can move the items with less angst.
It often happens that the destination Outlook folder is fixed and can't be removed (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts etc). This happens for Exchange Server / Office 365 accounts. That means you can't directly copy a folder over to replace one of those fixed folders.
The workaround is to copy the folder to a temporary location in the target data store. We make a 'Temp' Outlook folder in the destination data store then copy entire folders to be sub-folders of 'Temp'.
Once you have a copy of all the items saved under 'Temp' you can select say, all Contacts, and move them to the regular Contacts folder. You should move the items to save space and unnecessary duplication in the new data store.
Once everything is in its new home you can remove the Temp folder and sub-folders.
An alternative is copying a collection of items in smaller groups instead of all at once.
Instead of copying, say, 5,000 items copy them in groups of 1,000 at a time.
Keep a careful track on which items have been copied (maintain the same sorting order on the view) and which are left to go.
Of course, the real solution would be for Microsoft to devote a tiny slither of their enormous development resources to fixing the problems. Outlook should be able to copy many items without causing trouble, especially between data stores. A folder of items should be copied over another folder to merge them (just as in Explorer). Duplicate items should be identified and the user warned (just like in Explorer). Ideally all this should happen in the background so the customer can continue working.
Bulk movements of Outlook items aren't common but happen often enough that Microsoft should not be ignoring the issue. As more people radically change the way they handle email (ie from a single Outlook store to a store on a server or cloud) there's more demand for a properly working set of copy/move tools in Outlook.

To Our Shareholders
FY2012 Financial Results
In the current fiscal year, recovery of the Japanese economy appeared to be faltering, but we have started to see signs of positive changes as well, such as improving stock prices and exchange rates due to the change in political leadership. Overseas, the pace of economic expansion in China has slowed and the economy is weakening in Europe due to concerns over the financial instability in some countries extending into the long term. In the U.S., the economy has gradually recovered.
In the midst of such circumstances, the Shimadzu Group has been actively implementing growth measures in accordance with our medium-term management plan, such as introducing globally strategic products, strengthening the aftermarket business, and promoting local R&D and local production overseas. A new organizational structure has been started that integrates the planning, R&D, manufacturing, and sales functions for major markets, namely North America, Europe, and China, under the control of respective divisions. An International Business Department was established with a mission of developing new markets and growth primarily in newly emerging economies. In addition, we focused efforts on ensuring business results by expanding sales of new competitive products tailored to customer needs and other measures.
As a result, for the current fiscal year, sales increased for the Analytical & Measuring Instruments and Medical Systems businesses, decreased for the Aircraft Equipment business, due to lower demand in Japan, and decreased for the Industrial Machinery business, due to stagnating semiconductor and LCD markets. Consequently, overall sales decreased to 264,048 million yen (a year-on-year decrease of 0.8%). In terms of profit and loss, the strong yen, increased expenses due to aggressive business deployment, such as for R&D costs, and other factors, operating income was 12,116 million yen (37.4% decrease), ordinary income was 13,472 million yen (27.8% decrease), and net income was 7,578 million yen (16.6% decrease).
FY2012 Dividend
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we paid 9.00yen per share in one year, which is an increase of 1.00yen compared to the previous year. We paid the interim dividend of 4.50yen per share, and the terminal dividend of the same.
FY2013 Plan
The Shimadzu Group has been deploying our businesses according to a three-year medium-term management plan started in April 2011, which is based on our long-term vision "Toward Becoming a True Global Business." Based on our fundamental policy to "Become the No. 1 Partner Selected by Customers Globally," this plan aims to achieve growth in both developed and newly emerging economies through a strategy of introducing globally strategic products and providing solutions, through measures such as (1) pursuing global growth, (2) providing solutions that customers will choose, (3) focusing on growth markets and strong businesses, and (4) improving profitability.
Since 2013 is the last year of the current medium-term plan, we will work diligently to implement these measures and actively deploy our businesses.
To expand our business results and increase our global market share, we will first accurately identify trends in customer needs and sense of value and then focus a variety of resources from R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service on developing globally strategic products that are globally number-one or truly unique, and also offer optimal solutions.
In addition, we intend to expand the aftermarket business, which is expected to ensure a stable source of profit, by strengthening our parts and consumables businesses.
To improve our capacity to handle sudden changes in markets or operating environments, we will improve profitability for the overall Shimadzu Group by further optimizing the balance between locating production and procurement in Japan or overseas, and actively pursue lower cost designs. Furthermore, to reduce inventory levels, we will continue to implement production and logistic reforms and achieve timelier product supply capabilities by strengthening the coordination between R&D, manufacturing, sales, and logistics functions.
To achieve progress "Toward Becoming a True Global Business," we will also further strengthen the in-house company system that was started at overseas sales subsidiaries in April 2012, and make sure it produces results.
On January 25, 2013, it was discovered that Shimadzu overcharged the Japanese Ministry of Defense by reporting more-than-actual labor hours. Consequently, Shimadzu has been suspended from participating in contracts with the Ministry of Defense. Due to the gravity of the situation, we are conducting a thorough investigation to provide full disclosure and determine the causes. Furthermore, we will strengthen internal controls and implement thorough compliance measures to prevent reoccurrence.
Thank you for your continue support as a stockholder.

I think Kabongo will fine someplace to land in the first round. I don't know why people on this board have such a low opinion of him. His play was erratic but I think that was due to a combination of him being out of it due to the suspension, being surrounded by a bunch of garbage on the offensive end and not caring since the season was already over by the end of his suspension.

He already came back for another year but, it was short. If the guy wants to leave then he is going even if its shows he won't get drafted. Joseph left when he was projected as a 2nd round pick. Miles jumped from High School instead of coming hear and I think he was one of the last players picked or not picked at all and he is still playing.

You guys are forgetting the Oklahoma game in which he regularly beat his man off the dribble and made left handed layups, the Baylor game in which he had an 8/1 a/t ratio, and the KSU game in which he scored 24 on 12 fga.
He has shown glimpses of skills that could give him a career in the NBA, even if he hasn't shown them as consistently as he has shown lapses or deficiencies. I don't think he's a first round pick, but of the PG available in the upcoming draft, how many are? Some GM being told his team needs help at the point might take a long look at him.

Reasons Why Wikipedia Ranks So High in the Search Engines
There has been some confusion in the internet marketing world for the past few years about Wikipedia and why it is ranked so high in Google. Really it's fairly simple and some people don't realize the power of how their site is set up.
I'll see it all the time where one of its pages will have the first few spots of a highly trafficked search term and it will only have a few backlinks to that page. At the same time, a whole entire site dedicated to the term might be a few places down from it with thousands of backlinks. I have seen other webmasters become furious and totally confused. Sure Wikipedia is recognized as a credible source in Google's eyes and most of their pages have a high PageRank, but there really is more to it than that. You have to look at why that particular page has the high PageRank to begin with.
One of the main reasons Wikipedia has so many pages ranked high in the SERPS is because it uses lots of internal linking. Just look at one page in Wikipedia and you will see anchor text links to at least 25 different internal pages. It sends massive link reputation from lots of different pages (which also have high PageRank) with the highly searched keyword in anchor text.
So you can get an understanding of how this works, I'll show you a example. I just picked a random highly searched term, "engraving" and sure enough Wikipedia's page about engraving showed up first in Google.
So then I used Yahoo's Site Explorer to check how many offsite backlinks were sent to that page by typing in "link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engraving -site:wikipedia.org". It turns out that it has about 814 sites linking to it and the website right below it had 13,500 links. See the photo below:
So I checked how many total links that where pointing to the Wikipedia Engraving page and it showed 4,260 links. All I did was remove " -site:wikipedia.org" and researched as seen in the picture below.
When you subtract the links from other sites, that leaves us with about 3,446 internal links pointing to this page with the keyword "engraving" from other pages that also have very high PageRank.
I hope that helps show you the power of internal linking and creating lots of great content for your site. Please leave some comments or questions below.

Nice explanation. I think you can get a better look into their internal backlinks by using Open Site Explorer. You can filter backlinks by internal links only. =)
Nice post. This same question has come up with my clients before, and it's a neat way to explain how SEO basically works.

Thanks for the great post. I think Wikipedia certainly does highlight the power of a strong internal linking strategy on your website. I have worked with a number of clients whose only internal linking was through their site navigation. If there are some internal pages with good pagerank increasing the internal linking within the site seems to help search rankings
Great post but for those not in the SEO field, always make sure use of internal linking is done naturally from relevant pages! Don't start putting anchored text links on each of your internal pages pointing to each other! So, make it sound natural. One way is to start with one of your targeted pages then search for relevant terms within your pages, then make those terms pointing to your targeted page. You can use advanced operators like intext:text site:example.com and so on. Good luck!
Why Wikipedia Ranks So High in the Search Engines http://dailyseotip.com/reasons-why-wikipedia-ranks-so-high-in-the-search-engines/966/
Very useful post…especially because we must remove the idea that putting external links is negative for seo ..
As an admitted novice whose primary focus is at the "local search" level the two almost universal shortcomings I see are horrific HTML/onsite issues (absolutely no doubt that web designers are the #1 reason SEO is needed) closely followed by poor internal site structure. Basic functional linking isn't even correct let alone contextual linking.
My perspective is simple. All content is relevant or it doesn't belong on your website. If you can't see three natural points of interaction between any given page and the rest of the website then you need to evaluate either the content on the page, the relevance of the page to the overall website….or both.
@ Fabio Thanks, I actually never used Open Site Explorer and will look into this, but Yahoo Site Explorer does this also.
@Ualie75 Yes I agree, if a site is helpful to the reader and informational, then definitely link to it.
@ Fabio, okay I think your right. I didn't see this option to pin point exactly how many internal there are.
Great piece of information. I always wondered why Google ranks Wikipedia pages about other sites almost everytime.
Firstly I thought it will be well becoz its a great information portal and Google and other SEs trust it a lot. But your research shows its more than trust, it about optimization.. Internal Links are very important to pass on the PR juice as well as it helps in rankings too…
Rajeesh, I do think its because it is considered a trustworthy site. I think its because of both internal optimization and trust- they both actually work together to help each other also.
No wonder when I search for the term "love" on google, wikipedia is the first link it shows. Great article, it cleared up why wikipedia always lands first on google's result list.
Thanks for the post. This is yet more proof of the power of internal linking. Time to get busy!
Aha! Your post was just what I needed today, it explains so well the SEO linking startegy I've been working with.
this is absolutely true. We optimized our page with internal links and anchor text and jumped to top search ranks. Basically structure your site like wikipedia with as many internal links as possible coming from within text. that's the whole trick
nice… this information really use on me.. thanks
internal links and anchor text and jumped to top search ranks.
Wikipedia is a site which is known all over the world. Whenever you search for something it pops up among the top first sites and this means that most of their pages rank very highly. It was nice of you to explain why this is so.

Obama may in fact be intentionally trying to push the actual Americans who are left - that is, those who don´t support Obama - to the breaking point. Civil disobedience would then be exploited to justify Obama "cracking down", which I´m sure he´d like to do anyway. I just get the feeling that many will not just sit back for four years and passively watch Obama and his flying monkeys implement the "fundamental transformation" he obviously plans to go ahead with, and I think Obama knows that not all the resistance will be passive.

I wanted to look at how our front ofice has done over the 4 drafts, look at hits and misses, and then evaluate. I think the problem we have is systemic: our front office people are poor evaluators of talent.
2004: A weak draft. We picked 2nd and took Okafor after Orlando took "the man child". I cannot fault that pick, I do not think we missed out on anyone else.
2005. We took Ray with 5th and May with 13th. Since we just missed out on Williams and Paul, I think I'm OK with Ray at 5th - I'm warming up to him. But, May was a disaster. You do not pick Pro players just because you think they will draw some people due to where they played!! You pick the guy who can be best, and help you win. Winning draws people to the game. I was screaming for Danny Granger, who slipped to us at 13th but we passed. He fell to 17th. A solid 18 pt 6 reb / game guy. We would have had no issue w/ the 4 spot.
2006: We take Morrison 3rd. How many of us were saying "forget the marketability matter, go for the best Player". I was a Rudy Gay man, but also liked Brandon Roy. I know many of you were the same. Ammo's numbers, we all know. Gay:18 pts 5 reb Roy: 18.5 pts and 3.5 reb / game. Enough said.
2007: We have 8th and 22nd. We trade Wright at 8th for J-Rich and draft Dudley at 22. I like Dudley at 22. But I have a feeling we missed out on Sean Williams. People were worried about his attitude, but he is only a Rookie, plays 20 min/ game and is already at 8.5 pts and 4.5 reb / game. He is going to be a solid Pro. I am unsure of what Wright will become, but I sure think Williams is going to be good.
Bottom line: We are barely shooting 50% on our picks, and these were all pretty good areas in which to pick. The problem is our front office evaluators or talent. They want to stay with college players they think people will want to see just b/c of where they went to school. WRONG STUPIDS!! People want the best players! Outr people make poor decisions, and that is what has cost us in the drafts and has us in this predicament.
The cure: I really beleive that we the fans are quite smart. We watch the college game, we know who is good, who is a bust-risk, and we discuss it on the Board. Management tends to overthink matters, and they blow it. they should have someone monitor BobcatsPlanet, look at what we are all saying, how we feel, etc... Take our pulse and see what our eyes are seeing. Listen to us for one, and we will not lead you astray MJ! Oh, and in this draft, don't even think about Tyler Hansbrough - stay away! Cannot run the floor at the Pro level. He has heart, but cannot run the floor at this level.

Thread: How usable is Apollos?

How usable is Apollos?
I've committed, this summer, to a programme of reading the entire New Testament in 24 weeks, and as I've been reading, I've come across a man named Apollos. He never seems to receive the focus that someone like Paul or Peter has received, but he is very instrumental in the development of the early Christian church, and whenever the furthering of the gospel is discussed, he is mentioned. His character intrigues me, and I'm finding that Apollos is really growing on me as a name! I feel like it doesn't go at all with any of my other favorites (and I don't really see a cool nn that would make it more approachable), so I'm sure it'll be nothing but a GP for me, but I'm just curious--how would you feel about meeting an Apollos? Too reminiscent of the Greek god--or would he be forever correcting people, "No, not Apollo... Apollos. A-P-O-L-L-O-S... no, not like the Greek god. He was an apostle who started the early Christian... aurgh... forget it"?

It is very reminiscent of the Greek God and I thought that was actually what you were referring to, when I read the title.
In that respect, I think the similarities make it more usable as a name... It may be more familiar to the public as a name with the association.
The meaning may have to be explained, which I think is a separate issue.
But aesthetically I like it
August 30th, 2013 01:09 AM #5
It sounds like "appall us". So...no. Apollo, however, is fabulous, and very stylish.

Ahhh, I have loved Apollos for years! As for nicknames, you could call him Po. I'm sure he would have to correct people that he is not Apollo but Apollos...but I don't think it would be unbearable, and one quick correction would set people straight. I really don't find it too weird to use as a name. This upcoming generation is going to have lots of creative names, and I think Apollos would be acceptable, especially since it is a name found in the Bible and so will be recognized by many. As an aside--irrelevant to names--my husband suspects that Apollos wrote the book of Hebrews. Obviously no one knows for sure and it really doesn't matter, but my husband pretty strongly suspects that it was Apollos. Another odd Biblical A name you might like is Asaph, mentioned in the Psalms.
As for Apollos sounding like "appall us"...meh, not really. Only if you stop and really think about it. But I don't think many people will even notice that, and if they do, I don't see the weird rhyme as being a big deal at all. I say the last syllable in Apollos with a long O and it really doesn't even sound like "appall us."

Video Game Character Facebook Statuses
These are a bunch of video game character Facebook status updates. I thought they were pretty cute. And if you haven't already, you should go join the Geekologie Facebook page to help convince my parents they're not the only ones that read this. Mom: I know most of the comments are you, you don't have to keep doing it (but you should if you really love me). And dad: for the last time, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to keep the flaming to a minimum.

Will Kwame Kilpatrick beat Dave Bing for Detroit mayor? Maybe in a couple decades
Susan J. Demas | Political columnist for MLive.com
December 17, 2010, 9:17PM
Adolph Mongo seems to think Kwame Kilpatrick could beat Dave Bing in a Detroit mayoral race (Don't call it a comeback ...") That's fed media speculation about it, because hey, fun. Alas, Mongo is not a constitutional scholar. Thanks to incoming state Senate Minority Floor Leader Tupac Hunter (D-Detroit), that matchup can't happen for 20 years.

Democrats, Republicans out of touch on gay rights

June 11, 2009, 11:51AM
Yowza. In just five years, support for both gay marriage and civil unions in Michigan has jumped by more than 20 points apiece. Now 64 percent of voters favor civil unions and 47 percent back gay marriage, according to a new, independent survey by the Chicago-based Glengariff Group. "Gay marriage is where civil unions were five years ago," said...

The GOP's strategy: Shoot the messenger
Susan J. Demas
May 01, 2009, 4:07AM
What happens when a Republican strategist tries to figure out why the party keeps hemorrhaging voters? Well, in Michigan, he loses his job. That's what happened to Dennis Darnoi, who used to be a consultant to state Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, R-Rochester. But he made the mistake of actually trying to advise Republicans on how to win again,...

Proposal 2, stem cell research and the University of Michigan
Michael Thompson

Dr. Eva Feldman, a professor of neurology at the University of Michigan, discusses the passage of Proposal 2, which will allow for the expansion of human embryonic stem cell research in Michigan, within limitations.
Voters repeal ban on embryo destruction, but who will fund research?
Nathan Bomey
November 05, 2008, 9:56AM
Michigan life sciences researchers and universities are rejoicing today after voters Tuesday repealed a ban on stem cell research that involves the destruction of embryos. Supporters have promoted the chance to create high-tech Michigan jobs tied directly to embryonic stem cell research. Only time will tell whether they're right. But they are certain to be confronted soon with the stark...

Anti-stem cell subterfuge in the Proposal 2 fight

Mad scientists. Cow people. A sinister, omniscient cloning industry straight out of a cheap horror flick. The group against Proposal 2 has conjured up some truly deceptive, paranoid bunk to whip up fear over lifting Michigan's ban on embryonic stem cell research. But here's the most dishonest thing of all.

Michigan's life sciences industry lobbies for Proposal 2 and repeal of stem cell ban

Michigan's life sciences industry is lobbying hard for a ballot proposal that would repeal the state's ban on the destruction of embryos in stem cell research, but opponents say the state's economy wouldn't benefit from the proposal's approval. The moral issues with embryonic stem cell research have turned Proposal 2 into a debate over which political stance is more pro-life....

How to circumvent Proposal 2

Ever since 58% of Michigan voters banned affirmative action programs in government jobs and college admissions, leaders at the state's 15 public universities and 28 community colleges have been searching for ways to keep minority enrollment up. They might want to look at a program the California State University system runs that seems to get around that state's own ban,...

Welcome, guest

After losing 92% in 2008, the Russian-related Greater Europe Fund has a long way left to recover. But the fund is already up by more than 250% since the start of 2009
Jochen Wermuth
WAM's flagship Greater Europe Fund lost 92% of its value in 2008 – but rebounded strongly in 2009, posting an annual return of 219.67%. 2010 was a hugely volatile but ultimately profitable period for the fund – with strong monthly returns in the latter months taking it to 34.6% after a year that saw several double-digit up and down months.
This most recent run of good performance has been overseen by John Winsell Davies, previously CIO at Diamond Age Russia Fund and formerly with Alfa Capital and Franklin Templeton, who became lead fund partner in June after joining Wermuth in May.

Our secretPosted Wednesday, August 22, 2012, at 9:27 AM
Suddenly committee meetings have become more tolerable. Suddenly meetings with certain people have become pleasant.
I've been hearing impaired since age fourteen. For decades each testing professional would declare that I had lost even more of my hearing but that they couldn't do anything to help. I became very good at reading lips; speakers would remark on how I had such good eye contact with them! Then two years ago I heard those miraculous words that changed my life: "a new technology went on the market just four months ago and we think it will help." Indeed, I'm so happy to be wearing hearing aids that I don't even try to hide the chord coming out of my ears. Six months ago my life changed again. Having to purchase a new cellular phone and obtaining one that allows me to carry hundreds of hours of recorded music, I went for my hearing aid check up and discovered that there is a blue-tooth device that allows me to drive and listen to the phone through my hearing aids. Even better, this same blue-tooth device allows me to listen to my recorded music through my hearing aids. And others don't even know that I'm doing it! Suddenly committee meetings have become more tolerable. Suddenly meetings with certain people have become pleasant. I still hear what is being said around me. However, my attention is on the music. This is our secret! Don't tell on me! In effect, this is the same reframing that happens with the spiritual journey. Life can be very mundane. From time to time, life will even throw you a curve and bring tragedy or hard times. Yet sometimes you discover that there is ... more going on than what you are "hearing" around you. You find ways of tapping into hope and a sense of wellbeing and even what some label as being a higher consciousness. One wise person even described it as "listening to the music of the ages." I don't know if that wise person also had an iPhone 4S. In fact, I doubt it. But with newfound certainty I'm sure that wise person had made a choice to become attentive. The skill is in finding ways of becoming aware of more than what is simply happening in the here and now. In fact, all of us have that same kind of choice even if we aren't wearing hearing aids. We can reframe how we look upon our experiences in life. We can tap into the "hear and now." Remember though, it's our secret.

Research Capabilities
Platform for Regional Integrated Modeling and Analysis (PRIMA)
The PRIMA Initiative is developing a modeling framework to address regional human-environmental system interactions in response to climate change and its uncertainties to inform mitigation and adaptation decision-making. - Aerosol Climate Initiative (2007-2012)
The Aerosol Climate Initiative (ACI) was launched in January 2006 to build research capabilities addressing the processes and properties controlling aerosol effects on climate. - Atmospheric Aerosol Chemistry
Atmospheric chemistry influences human health, climate, food production and, through its impact on visibility, our view of the world. Chemicals in the air affect us with each breath we take. - Climate and Cloud Physics
The challenge to represent clouds, aerosols, and cloud-aerosol interactions in global and regional climate models is addressed by combining field measurements and modeling as part of the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program and DOE Atmospheric System Research (ASR) program. - Complex Regional Meteorology
Our research approach is characterized by integrating data analysis and modeling to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes related to transport and fate of energy-related pollutants, regional climate, and homeland security issues. - Integrated Assessment of Energy and the Environment
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been at the forefront of global energy/economic modeling for nearly two decades. PNNL's models were the primary analytical tools for the U.S.'s analysis of the 1992 UN Framework Convention as well as the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. - Regional and Global Scale Modeling
Global climate models cannot afford the spatial resolution needed for assessing climate impact at the scales that matter.

This was a fun (and super quick) project I recently completed. My 1 year old goes through ALOT of shorts- he is one of those little people you just can't seem to keep a nappy done up on if he doesn't have a pair on. I found out one of my old shirts that I loved and wore to death before my 3 kids but now have no hope of ever wearing again. I went searching online for a free baby pants pattern online till I found one that was exactly what I was after. I have alot of photos and I think it is pretty easy to see what I've done. I wanted the print on the rear- wish it was alittle lower on the shirt but oh well. I folded the leg pattern pieces and made the the side seam of the shirt, the pants side seam. It even had the cute little side tag. Traced the pieces, cut them out and stiched them up in the order described on the Blog. Less than an hour and a half later- cute little shorts that have already had a LOT of wear. I never overlocked the edge as the fabric doesn't fray at all and, i also just catch stiched the inner leg seam down on the hem to get it to sit right as I used the origional shirt hem as the pants hem and was sitting alittle funny till I did. All in all I love this pattern and would love to make some out of Band Promo shirts in future. Please let me know what you think in the comments. The link to the pattern I used is http://fromanigloo.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/one-size-fits-many-babytoddler-pj-pants.html

Philadelphia man admits role in forging u.S. postal service money orders
October 23, 2012 |
TRENTON, N.J. – A Philadelphia man today admitted his role in a conspiracy to forge U.S. Postal Service money orders, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Yacouba Magadji, 36, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper in Trenton federal court to an Information charging him with one count of conspiracy to falsely and materially alter money orders.
According to documents filed and statements made in court:
Magadji and others allegedly agreed to buy U.S. Postal Service money orders for small amounts and then alter them to show a higher face value. Magadji met three times with buyers who were actually confidential informants. At each meeting, Magadji sold the confidential informant 10 money orders with an apparent face value of $1,000. Each of the money orders had been purchased for a much smaller amount, and then altered.
The count to which Magadji pleaded guilty is punishable by a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 6, 2013.
Fishman credited inspectors of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Newark Division, under the direction of Inspector in Charge Philip R. Bartlett with the investigation leading to the guilty plea.
The Government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Charlton A. Rugg of the Economic Crimes Unit in Newark.
Defense counsel: Pasquale F. Giannetta Esq., of Wayne, N.J.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

Tried installing it but no password is ever stored for the user created in the install.
I searched the mysql database and the member password row is blank.
I was able to set a default login in the config file after installing which got me in. I realize this is very alpha but just a heads up. Tried installing 3 times.

Re: SilverStripe 3.0.0-pr1
25 May 2011 at 7:21am
I am new to SS and am seriously considering it for a large financial client. I installed 2.4.5 and it looks pretty good. I thought I would check out the alpha release to see where things are going, so I gave SilverStripe-3.0.0-pr1 a quick install. Is this what the admin interface is going to turn into? IMO it doesn't feel very usable and the previous interface is much better.
Just wondering...
Thanks -
Re: SilverStripe 3.0.0-pr1
25 May 2011 at 5:37pm
T-Muns - The 3.0.0-pr1 is a developer early release preview. It's missing all of the polish and final API designs but was released so people could have a glance and get some more involvement.
You can see the final designs at https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-design/blob/master/Design/ss3-ui_Sitetree+content.png

Is there any special forum/thread to post my thoughts into about the 3rd release of SilverStripe?
I installed it and – besides some bugs I can put into the bug tracker – there are some other things I want to share with the developer team.
Re: SilverStripe 3.0.0-pr1

We're not exactly asking for bug reports just yet as this is an alpha and quite a lot of functionality is still missing / only roughly implemented (but bugfix patches welcome). When we get nearer the beta releases bug reports would be the emphasis. As for general thoughts on it, I would read the threads on SS3.0 on the dev mailing list first, see if we're discussed your point and if not then raise it on that.
