In his first minute after entering Tuesday�s World Cup match between the United States and Belgium, Julian Green scored, setting in motion a frenzied American comeback.
The rally, however, failed, and the Americans lost 2-1 in extra time.
The days for U.S. soccer, however, are brighter after its showing at the World Cup � advancing out of the �Group of Death� and into the Round of 16.
There were millions of U.S. soccer fans around the country screaming, throwing their hands in the air and being utterly disappointed when Clint Dempsey missed a late shot on goal that would have tied the game and likely sent it into penalty kicks.
This is the future of American soccer.
Maybe the emotions will die down next week. But this was exciting, and that�s all you can ask for in sports.
If nothing else, everyone got to see the future of American soccer on the field � Green.
And everyone saw an amazing performance by goalkeeper Tim Howard, who made more saves in one World Cup game than had been made in the last 50 years. His teammates were overwhelmed by Belgium, but Howard stood on his head.
This isn�t to say soccer is about to explode in this country, but it won�t entirely die down just as it has after past World Cups.
There�s hope the United States might actually compete for a World Cup title.
This is a pesky, aggressive and determined program. This isn�t football or basketball, where Americans dominate. This is soccer, and the U.S. still is learning.
Sure, there will still be millions who stomp their feet and refuse to recognize the sport. But there will be millions more who appreciate the determination of this country.
'We showed we cared'
The question is, does this showing make a big enough impact?
Roger Faulkner, president of the Michigan Soccer Association, believes so. He was driving back from Campus Martius, where he was among more than 3,000 fans watching the match.
�It was an amazing and enthusiastic crowd,� Faulkner said. �It was great to see Soldier Field opened (in Chicago) so 28,000 fans could see it. It has been astonishing. The TV ratings have been enormous and I think the needle moved a little bit, especially here in Detroit where we showed we cared.�
Long, slow process
The enthusiasm was equaled in Philadelphia, where former goalkeeper and Philadelphia Union CEO Nick Sakiewicz saw the passion. He said it�s a 50-year process to introduce soccer into mainstream America.
�And we�re about 30 years in,� he told the Philadelphia Enquirer.
�As we go through the time cycle, things are going to accelerate. We did a slow burn in the 1980s and 1990s and then picked up speed in the first decade of the 21st century. I�m sensing, partially based on this World Cup, that the next 10 years will be very good.�
It won�t replace baseball, football, basketball or hockey, but soccer is beginning to squeeze its way into the minds and hearts of Americans.

Very informative. Thanks for all the links to great content. I agree that I don't think TV is dead, but I do think that NetFlix is going to have something to be said about how TV works in the future. What happens when you take the commercials out of tv and people watch 10 episodes of a show at a time. It takes advertising and turns it upside down. I think there is a lot of potential for NetFlix to start weaving advertising into their product without it being disruptive. And when that happens how we will respond.
You touched upon a couple of the most annoying things I find with websites. The first is confirm password. In the age of mobile first why does this still even exist? The second is sites that frequently log me out. I am not a developer anymore so I am not sure how complex it is to maintain your logged in states between visits. But if Moz and Facebook (is it even possible to log out of Facebook) can do it, then other large sites should be able to do it as well.
I totally agree with the concept of not having your home page be the first page that shows up when you do branded searches. Your products or services page should the first page that shows up. If you are a company that makes 95% of its profit on a single app (like Candy crush) then I actually think that is the page you need to direct users to.
From my personal experience with the Moz site and working on client sites I can say this. People tend to come to your site the 1st time via a mobile device. If the experience was less than ideal (like mine was with Moz) they won't necessarily stop accessing and interacting with your website, they will just start doing from a laptop or tablet (as I have done with Moz).
I agree that keywords are becoming far less important. Here is my thought process. Keywords are often ranked really high based on some practices of an SEO, link building, on page markup, etc. When I do a search on Google I am not asking Google who performs the best SEO, I am asking what is the best answer to the question that I am asking. So if I am asking who has the best hamburger in Seattle, I think a restaurant 300 excellent Yelp reviews with the word Hamburger in them would be much more likely to be what I am looking for than a restaurant that has a great landing page, links from a bunch of local directories that no one uses and great on page SEO. So what I am really getting at is the fact that Google is placing so much weight on social signals should let us know how context is starting to become more important than keywords.
I agree that I love the idea of responsive. But my only issue is with intent. For instance if conversion rates for ecommerce are low on mobile phones, but instances of doign research and viewing media are high, then I would much rather my mobile users see more multimedia content and less Buy Now content. But with responsive they are both the same. And I know one day mobile commerce conversion rates will be as high as on the desktop, we just aren't there yet.
I think might be the best blog post I have seen on the site since the name change to Moz. Between the explanations, graphics and external links to in depth explanations of topics I think there is an entire books worth of information here. Except this of course is condensed into 20 minutes of reading.
Awesome post. I would have thought that there would have been more gender differences in choosing one headline over another. Perhaps one reason women like numbered headlines so much is that many women's magazines have numbered headlines on the cover "20 ways to impress your man" or "10 ways to tell if he's cheating". Thank you Cosmo.
I am starting to become of Fan of actually having all Inbound marketing and all UX bundled together into a group called Conversion marketing or something similar. The thing is we always talk about SEO and UX and worry about whether or not they can play well together. I know something that plays well with any field and that is "Making Money". So why not just say that doing x increases your number of conversions and then the only thing we would be focused on is increasing conversions and not whether or not that comes from UX, SEO, PPC, Social, etc. Focusing with the end in mind is more important than putting things in the hands of the experts in their fields. "When you are a Hammer everything looks like a Nail"
Ok so I have to say the Whiteboard Friday came off as really strange. The problem I have is that when you have two people in front of the camera it often seems as though the are having a conversation instead of presenting the content ot the audience. So watching this it is often difficult to understand who is supposed to be the authority on the topic of remarketing.
So much good information in this article I don't know where to start. I agree that we need to build links and content that are more client focused than Google focused. The way I like to think of it is this. If you build a link that does not improve your SEO at all but drives traffic to the website that turns into an additional $10,000 in revenue then that link is probaby worth it regardless of googles. I think the ability to focus on "Revenue over Rankings" will be a huge concept going forward.
I do have a slightly different take in terms of focusing on long term projects. I think what is really important is to break larger projects up into smaller phases that can actually be measurable. So for instance a long term project may be to increase revenue from website contact submissions by 400%. While I think a better short term project would be "A/B test contact submission form variations to increase quality of leads generated". Start with small wins and let smaller wins lead to larger wins.
One important point that you brought up here was celebrating victories with the client. Clients really get excited when they feel as though you are in it with them. I think celebrating victories makes the client feel as though you are part of the team and helps build loyalty. I think it should be part of the marketing plan.
Thanks for creating this step by step guide David. Although you do talk about a Twitter strategy for developing relationships with key influencers, one thing that is not mentioned is a plan to build social mentions. While Twitter is a powerful source of building Inbound links we can not discount the value of being mentioned or building reviews on sites like Facebook, Yelp, Google+ and Foursquare just to name a few. Lately I have been seeing that social relevance is playing a major factor in local rankings especially for industries such as restaurants, retailers, and service providers.
I think the Coke Zero reference is the best way to explain social valuation to people. What I tell clients is this: You are worried that you can't calculate ROI on social, but if I told you that yo could have a Facebook page with 1,000,000 fans then you would think that was a good thing. Even if you could never directly track a sale from any of those fans. So just by common sense you are placing some value on social alreay even without being able to track ROI.
While Google does consider other reviews when calculating SERP ranks, I think that conversion rates dictate that you make more of a focus on Google Local reviews. Because Google Local/Zagat reviews are the only ones that are actually displayed you will find that your local links will convert better with more and better reviews displayed. It also dictates that you focus more on optimization of reviews because Google does not display the most recent reviews first but instead displays the "most helpful". In my experience this reduces the importance of all reviews from people that are not active in submitting reviews. So make sure you find out a way to get reviews from people active in the Google Local community. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Hi Caroline. I haven't been in this community for that long so I appreciate the mention of the social metrics tool. Also I can't wait to try out the scraper tool. Getting information out of web pages usually takes writing your own scraper or finding one of your programming friends with time on his/her hands to do it for you. So this would be a case where it is always better to use an existing tool.
While I agree with most of what is in this post I think that there are 2 very important questions that you need to be asked at the beginning of the process. How large of a company is my client and the second is how much freedom are they going to giving me with design of the website. The size of the compnay is very important because the larger the company, the more people are going to be involved in the process. So building a marketing based site for WebMd is going to be totally different than building a site for a local plastic surgeon. Secondly figuring out the freedowm the client is going to give you is important because some clients are paying you because they want you to build the website with little involvement on their end. If you have one of these clients they usually want to have a initial meeting to describe the company and then another meeting when it is released. Of course this is not always bad because it gives you the ability to work with fewer restraints.
Great post Simon. I do have a question related to semantics. If you broaden the number of terms that your brand is associated with, do you think that it weakens the weight google gives you for the core terms that you are targeting. So similar to the way you can dilute link juice by having to many links on the page (hence the strategic use of the "nofollow", can you also weaken your semantic juice by being associated with say 100 terms instead of just 10?
I really love the idea of actively participating in communities. I have found that one of the great non SEO benefits of this is the ability to build relationships with people that could be potentia clients. It seems like once people know you, are comfortable with you, and know what you do for living they will naturally recommend you to others through direct introductions. Works even better than SEO in a lot of casess because of high conversion rates with personal recommendations.
I think that Google is trying to make a real push to reward strong brands in its search results. The positive to that is that I know that if a link is on the Amazon, Microsoft or Ebay website it has less chance of being a spam site. The negative is that establishing a brand takes a long time and makes it difficult for the small businesses to compete. It is a doble edged sword for sure.
Although Microsoft does have the resources to to make a dent in Google's search dominance, I think they have a brand that is damaged and they also lack anything even resembling quality leadership.
I agree with you. I think Google+ and Local Search are going to be the hot topics for small busineses in 2013.
I think that Facebook has potential to bring in new customers for business but that potential is ruined by their so called "EdgeRank". Facebook is basically creating a situation where if you "Like" my page and agree for me to be able to market to you, then when I attempt to send you any type of marketing message you only have a 17% chance of seeing it. Now how in the world does that make sense? So the only way to guarantee that anyone actually sees my Facebook marketing is to actually buy Facebook PPC ads (hmm something smells funny).
I have used these tactics before. One thing I am curious about though is if one format for phone numbers is better than another format. So you can format like this (206) 888-8888 or like this 206.888.8888 or like this 206-888-8888. Do you think one is better than another or is there one format that is most accepted?
Wow this is like Rand back in the day. It looks kind of like a bootleg version of the current whiteboard Fridays. I don't really have a comment on the video but I have decided that I am going to keep watching these videos until I can find one where Rand actually shaved that day. And yes Rand that means 0 stubble.
Sometime I wonder if we shouldn't just throw Attribution Modeling in the arena of Branding. Here is my take on the subject. For businesses there is Branding and then there is marketing. I think Attribution Modeling kind of sits in between. For online marketers I think it is a great reason to provide an increased number of marketing services for your clients.That way if you control all of the marketing channels included in the campaign, then you know that the conversion can be attributed to your efforts. Avinash Kaushik does a great job of covering this topic in his book Web Analytics 2.0.
I think this infographic is a must for anyone just getting started in the area of online marketing. I personally have found that clients are more often expecting us to be able to do it all. It used to be ok to tell clients that you did social media marketing or web design. Now they expect you to do web design, all inbound marketing, and be able to provide analytics provin your projects are successful. I think this post kind of gives a good idea of what services firms are providing and how much they are charging for those services. It really helps when needing to figure out how much to bill for a new services that you are thinking about providing.

Installation DescriptionA drop ceiling installation using Stratford White Ceiling Tiles.
Customer Testimonial
It's been a long-time coming but we have finally finished the basement refinishing project for which we ordered the Ceilume Stratford ceiling tiles. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out and already have received many compliments on the ceiling. The tiles were super-easy to cut and install. Installing the tiles goes very quickly - it's installing the grid system that takes time. We actually have 3 different ceiling heights throughout the basement - for two areas we did a true dropped ceiling grid, for the 3rd and largest area we mounted the grid directly to the joists to maximize the ceiling height. Surprisingly the grid looks better in the two areas where it is actually dropped - the grid appears more uniform and the joints line up much more seamlessly than in the area where the grid is mounted to the joists (we assume that is because the bottom of the joists aren't precisely level with each other and those small differences manifest when the grid is mounted and tiles are installed).

It's back to school this morning for thousands of kids across North Texas.
Monday is the first day of class in most districts including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland and Plano. And many of those districts will begin the year with extra security in the wake of the school shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
Volunteers wearing Code Blue vests will patrol 10 Fort Worth elementary schools to add another layer of protection. They do not carry guns, but do go through extensive training with the police department.
Dallas has spent more than $4 million on security upgrades. Visitors to elementary schools will be screened using cameras at the front doors.
In Southlake, armed police officers will be at all 11 Carroll ISD campuses. And Plano ISD installed panic buttons at elementary and early childhood schools. The district also hired off-duty police officers to patrol campus.
The first day of school also means drivers will want to pay more attention around campuses. That means no speeding and no hand-held cell phones in school zones.

Around the turn of the millennium, the idea of parity in baseball was a big deal. Bob Costas wrote a bestseller on the premise that small-market teams couldn't compete. There used to be massive, nasty debates about the need for a salary cap in baseball. You'll still see them pop up every now and again, but back in the day it was one of the hottest topics in the land.
There were a lot of reasons for the perceived lack of parity back then. It was the post-strike era, and the idea of a salary cap didn't seem far-fetched. There were a lot of teams still waiting for their slice of the stadium boom. The Internet money wasn't shooting into the air as if from a broken fire hydrant, and mega cable deals weren't the norm.
But there was one really, really big reason for the perceived lack of parity:

That's what the Yankees did for five years. The Wild Card was just a year old when the Yankees started that quaint little stretch, so no one really paid attention to it. The Marlins won it all in 1997 as a Wild Card. But that was a fluke, right? Everyone knew the Yankees were going to win the World Series every year. Because they just about did.
As a nascent baseball nerd, I knew there was a problem with that thinking. I knew about small samples and short series, and I knew that there was no way a team could be so good that they'd win the World Series every year.
And then the Yankees would win the World Series again.
It was ludicrous to think that in three separate series, each against teams of comparable talent, the Yankees could win the World Series every year because they were clearly more talented, or they had the Eye of the Yankee, or whatever in the hell reason people were giving.
And then the Yankees would win the World Series again.
The most-cited reason for the Yankees' run, of course, was money. But that might be revisionist history. In 1998, for example, the Yankees didn't have the highest payroll in baseball. They had one of the greatest teams of the modern era, but they had the second-highest payroll. Even that is overstating it, though; the Yankees' payroll was $65.6 million that year, and there were plenty of teams in spitting distance, including the Indians, Padres, and Braves.
It wasn't until 2003 that Yankee spending took off and left the rest of baseball in the dust. Still, that narrative was strong in the late '90s. The Yankees were rich. The Yankees could buy all the good players. The Yankees would win the World Series every season. And then the Yankees would win the World Series again.
We're more than a decade removed from that run. And the Yankees do have another championship since 2000, so it's not like they're working on some decades-long drought. But every time the Yankees lose in the postseason, it should make everyone look at the stretch from 1996 through 2000 and think something like, Hot damn, what was that all about? How was that possible? How did that happen?
Yeah, it happened because the Yankees had good players, and, sure, a good portion of that was because they could pay to dollar for free agents. But it was more than that. It was a confluence of talent and circumstance, of luck and skill. That's all the playoffs are. But the good things kept happening to the same team, over and over again.
It was flukey. We can say that now. Every team in the playoffs is talented. But the team that wins the World Series is often simply a talented team with the most good fortune. The 2000 Yankees won 87 games -- the 10th-best total in baseball. But, well, Gil Heredia didn't have a good outing for the A's in that Game 5, and Arthur Rhodes kind of wet the bed in the ALCS, and that set it up for Jose Vizcaino to hit a walk-off single in Game 1 of the World Series.
Those are just three random names -- you can mix and match for whichever season you like. But it isn't always a matter of the best players making the most money. It isn't often a matter of the best players making the most money.
It's easier to appreciate now. Sometimes the good players don't hit in the playoffs. Sometimes the good pitchers don't have good outings. Sometimes there are injuries, and then there are injuries piled upon other injuries. All of that happened to the Yankees this year. Some combination of that has ended 11 of the Yankees' last 12 seasons.
And that makes the stretch of four championships in five seasons that much more impressive. It's not something we're going to see again in the Wild Card era. It just doesn't happen. There are too many rounds, too many teams, and too many chances to get tripped up by the randomness of a short series.
Every time the Yankees get bounced from the playoffs -- or the Rangers, or Phillies, or whichever powerhouse team is supposed to blow through the postseason -- you can laugh at the Goliath going down. That's your right, as a fan of one of the 29 other teams.
But it's also a good time to look back at the Yankees from 1996 through 2000 and be just a little more amazed. That was more amazing than we could have appreciated at the time. Annoying to most of us! But still amazing.

Street Fight covers the National Bike Summit and its outreach to women and minorities
STREET FIGHT In the face of increased gasoline prices and congestion, more public awareness of the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and driving, and interest in physical activity, bicycling has experienced a mini-boom throughout the US. Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, Portland, Seattle, Washington, DC, and many smaller university cities, such as Boulder and Madison, have seen impressive increases in utilitarian bicycling.
In San Francisco, 3.5 to 6 percent of all trips are made by bicycle, amounting to roughly 150,000 bicycle trips in the city each day, a jump from around 1 percent of trips in the 1990s. The majority of these trips are for utilitarian purposes such as shopping and commuting, not recreation. Stand on Market and 10th streets on any weekday and you'll see that bicycling has surged in San Francisco. In parts of Hayes Valley, the Mission, and Upper Market, over 10 percent of commuting is by bicycle. The city's official goal — 9 percent of all citywide trips by 2018 and 20 percent in the next decade — is important for making San Francisco more livable.
But it's also fundamental for making San Francisco more equitable. That's right, equitable.
In many respects, bicycling is among the most equitable forms of urban transportation because it is affordable and accessible to almost everyone. Bicycling is far cheaper, safer, healthier, and cleaner than driving, and when considering global equity, far saner for a national climate policy. And for many low income workers, bicycling is also an affordable conveyance that enables not just physical mobility but also financial stability.
Indeed, US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx points out that nationally, a third of all bike trips are made by adults making under $30,000 and that the bicycle can have a substantial role in reducing the overall cost of living for the working class. But unfortunately lower class, non-white cyclists are also more likely to be in fatal collisions.
Speaking at the annual National Bicycle Summit in Washington, DC, earlier this month, Foxx, an African American former mayor of Charlotte, N.C., said that the federal government needs to devote more attention to making bicycling part of everyday life for the working class. Emphasizing the need for safety and convenience, Foxx was especially enthused about cycletracks — bikeways that are fully separated from automobiles and offer space for women, children, and older Americans to safely navigate cities by bike.
Foxx's address followed a day of equity-themed panels and plenaries attended by more than 700 people. The League of American Bicyclists, focused on lobbying Congress and the White House, announced a new equity agenda to reach out to women, people of color, and to focus on reinvigorating a more progressive and egalitarian tone for bicycle advocacy.
Social justice advocates and community organizers had a strong presence at the summit, which has historically reflected a whiter, upper-middle-class male constituency. One presenter discussed bicycling and women's prison rehabilitation, sharing how women who suffered from abuse, drug addiction, and imprisonment found bicycle riding to be normalizing and helpful for personal growth and for managing depression and anxiety.
A panel session titled "Learning from Los Angeles" showed how advocacy for bicycling can also come from community-based organizations, not just bicycle groups. Social justice issues are fundamental to LA's inner city bicycle movement; over a third of South Central Los Angeles households are car free, and community organizers there have made a clearer connection between economic inequity and environmental problems.
You can't take others with you.
You can't carry heavy loads.
You can't use freeways, tunnels and many bridges
You can't travel long distances in any reasonable time
You can't ride a bike if you are very young, very old, disabled ot nervous
It's the ultimate in private transport - even more so than cars.
You feel you don't have to obey any of the traffic rules, which means that everyone hates you.
You are usually young, white, male, affluent and wear nasty lycra or spandex.
@Guest - But it's clear from your comment that you don't let reality intrude on your anonymous ranting.
That wasn't even a decent attempt. Please refute my individual points, above, if you can, otherwise readers will assume that you cannot.
@Guest - In theory we have it easier here than in many parts of the world where people commute by bike. As for your cowardly anonymous goading and blather about what readers will assume, I'll take my chances.
90% of your 90% figure is in third world basket case nations and so not relevant here.
Dude find something productive to do with your time
everything will be fine?
Why do you assume that one person is responsible for all posts by "Guest"?
Why can't you take others with you? Ever heard of a tandem? There are four wheel pedal powered vehicles that can ride 6 adults at a time. Or everybody can employ a solo bike and do a group ride.
You can carry heavy loads. The units for this purpose are called cargo bikes. Bullitt makes an excellent version which can haul 100's of pounds. Check the Fossil Fool website for other examples of cargo bikes.
The day will come, soon, when there are bike lanes on freeways, tunnels and bridges.
What constitutes 'reasonable time' and 'long distance' is pure opinion.The AIDS benefit ride covers something like 600 miles in 5 days.
Have you never been to a retirement community and seen the folks there pedaling about on trikes?
You've posited this 'bikes are the ultimate private transport' more than once here. Again, nothing but an opinion.
The rest of your post is bovine manure.
equipment with you for hundreds of miles in a few hours on a bike.
No way.
Your lack of imagination stifles any response.
Have a nice day while confined in your little metal box.
And so you fell back on what so many do in that situation and went off on a personal attack, thereby effectively admitting defeat in the debate.
Quite the contrary.
I merely pointed out that your mind appears to be closed on the subject.
If that makes you feel like a 'winner' I'm not surprised.
Obviously they are too difficult for you
I'm not trying to be obtuse, but rereading your posts I failed to spot any questions.
Questions are usually followed by question marks, yes?
You did however, make statements.
In any event, your refusal to take seriously any mode of conveyance besides a personal automobile rather reinforces my point quite nicely.
Thank you, sir.
Dress it up any way you want.
Excellent point. That, of course has to change.
Imagine how many people would ride if there were separated, covered, lanes on bridges, freeways and tunnels. That is a great idea whose time is soon approaching.
Of course the statements regarding carrying heavy loads, etc, are in error. Such developements as cargo bikes and tandem bikes have changed all that.
In fact, as for load carrying, simply a few lengths of good polyester line and a knowledge of simple knots such as the prussik, the bowline, trucker's hitch, rolling hitch on a spar and a good rack allows for all sorts of that.
Generally I find tying a cardboard box or boxes to the book rack--or one of those large plastic hampers--to the back of the bike works great, and I also "guy" the load down to the frame near the rear drop outs using prussiks or rolling hitch-on-spar on the frame. Tension can be put on all the lines by using using trucker's hitches which act like two-part tackle (and which can be cascaded for even greater pull).
I regularly do errands such as runs to the hardware store, grocery shopping, and laundry by bike nowadays and haven't driven my car in over a month. (Bike to Bart works great at all times of day now, too.)
And now for a happy song:
So what would you know about the transport needs of most families?
And what do you know about it 'guest'?
Give us some information to bolster your claims of expertise in the field of 'most families'.
The statistics clearly show that since bike share is tiny.
From whence springs your authority to speak for 'most families'.
Please provide a link for these statistics.
All you have to do is look out your window. For every one bicycle trip there are around 100 car trips. Are you really that invested in pushing your bicycle-first agenda that it would cause you to ignore obvious common sense?
Feel better now?
But annoying that I have to.
That is rather comical, but hardly unexpected, your delusion that you are the one applying correction.
And waiting.
It started getting and narrower and narrower. Don't get crushed!
I suppose you could do your laundry in the meantime.
Clearly you have an appetite for tedium.
and still kick your ass in a debate.
Just trying to fit in around here.
1) I carry my daugher on my bicycle every day
2) I carry four bags of groceries with my on my bicycle home when I go shopping
3) Irrelevant - I live near everything I want
4) Irrelevent
5) See #1
6) 75% of San Franciscans want more bike lanes. The only one filled with hate is you.
7) I am old, have grey hair and don't wear spandex. I am not white. I have some money from all the dollars I saved not owning a car. Don't hate me because I am rich though. Hate me because I am more successful than you.
You on the other hand are out of shape, filled with hate, have diabetes and high blood pressure and will die early of a heart attack. You wasted all your money on stupid cars in a futile attempt to impress people and all your time stuck in traffic.
Now you a lonely pathetic troll with no life attempting to influence people on a website where no one agrees with you or cares about you.
In short, you are a pathetic loser.
Stuff White People Like
#61 Bicycles
February 10, 2008 by colander
A good place to find white people on a Saturday is at a Bike Shop. Bike shops are almost entirely staffed and patronized by white people!
actually, #62 is pretty relevant, too:
#62 Knowing what's best for poor people
White people spend a lot of time of worrying about poor people. It takes up a pretty significant portion of their day.
They feel guilty and sad that poor people shop at Wal*Mart instead of Whole Foods, that they vote Republican instead of Democratic, that they go to Community College/get a job instead of studying art at a University.
It is a poorly guarded secret that, deep down, white people believe if given money and education that all poor people would be EXACTLY like them. In fact, the only reason that poor people make the choices they do is because they have not been given the means to make the right choices and care about the right things.
@racer - Yeah, that's from a dumb list from a tiresome blog for simple minds. Meanwhile, here in reality, a national movement of Black cyclists thrives:
cannot be a lot of them.
The last two cyclists I saw riding on the sidewalk were black
Plenty of people of color on bikes, always have been.
If you actually looked at that website you'd see that it's about visibility. Possibly for people like you, who can't see what's right in front of you unless it's something you can make a racist remark about.
Interesting thought. Should they wear more lights?
Most cyclists I see are young white affluent-looking males. Nut then maybe we frequent different neighborhoods. I'd imagine so.
No, I'm saying you have trouble seeing things.
Probably because your head is up your ass.
How unusual for a socialist. Not.
most of them are what is considered the color white.
What color is the non color?
of color, not of the mind.
Bicycling is far safer that driving in the city?
Why, because you can wear a helmet?
Another example of how the SFBG doesn't need to concern itself with the truth.
We are on a mission!
If it feels good, just say it!
Jason wrote that one commonality shared by all road users was an unpleasant experience. That the transportation advocacy organizations have bought into the neoliberal development agenda means that they're party to the increase in road users as the economy and population have boomed. More road users in a context where road use is unpleasant means more angered road users. When motorists get angry in gridlocked traffic, it is cyclists and pedestrians who take the hit.
The way to resolve unpleasant road use experiences is to shift the priority from motorists to transit because more motorists will mode shift to transit than bike. But the transportation planning is lagging a decade behind land use planning. Efforts to link the two have been shot down by developers and their compliant claque is not making much of an issue of that. So "livability" boosters add load to a fixed system, worsening the road use experience on one hand and then urge more folks to bicycle under these increasingly unpleasant and dangerous conditions.
I've got ethical issues in urging novices to engage in an increasingly dangerous activity.
Like as in SFBC and Walk SF?
No, I mean claque as in a group of people paid to cheer or boo on command.
@marcos - A greater number of bicyclists will of course mean a greater number of bicyclists being injured. This is not a 1-to-1 correspondence, though. If you're referring to the numbers reported in the _Chron_ last June, they did a weird comparison of increased bicycling from 2006-2012 with injuries from 2009-2011. A little statistics math and you come up with a 35% increase in ridership over 3 years, compared to the reported 18% increase in injuries.
This fits pretty handily in the range of the power law factor of 0.6 found by Jacobsen, most famously known as "Safety in Numbers." Basically, the more bicyclists you add, the safer it gets per bicyclist, by that factor. Jacobsen also found the same effect with pedestrians.
So if trips by bike or on foot replace trips by car, you're actually safer (and making it safer for others). Of course it's even safer to be inside a bus or train, and of course there are good reasons to promote much better transit than we're experiencing, but "an increasingly dangerous activity" is not one of those reasons. Anything that replaces car trips is an improvement.
greatly overstated because no allowance is made for the fact that there are far more pedestrians in SF than another US city of the same size with which we are being compared.

Holistic History
Holistic history attempts to dissect the "the story people tell themselves about themselves" and to understand what is written and what is left behind. Holistic history is not a methodology designed to replace more traditional approaches to historical inquiry; it depends on it. In addition it depends on the work of several other disciplines: archaeology, art history, the classics, and anthropology.

Seattle Opera asked MODE Studios to produce an HD simulcast of Seattle Opera's Madama Butterfly production for the 50th Anniversary Event at Seattle Center.
Seattle Opera asked MODE Studios to produce an HD simulcast of Seattle Opera's Madama Butterfly production for the 50th Anniversary Event at Seattle Center. Madama Butterfly was performed live at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. The HD broadcast was directed by Frank Zamacona and simulcast to Key Arena on a 50 ft. by 80 ft. rear projection screen using four BARCO FLM20k projectors and a Blackmagic front end system.
The main challenge was bringing the complex production together using technology that simplified the process and kept the budget on target. This live event also incorporated graphics, interstitials, sponsor media, pre-recorded behind-the-scenes footage and cast interviews, with the live feed.
Seattle Opera's Technical Director Bob Schaub and MODE's Producer Colleen Bonniol brought in Butch Allen to create the Production Design at the Key Arena. Allen assembled an environment to emphasize the idea of a 'stage' in the arena through use of soft goods, thick carpeting, and a sizable array of automated lighting fixtures.
Matthew Sutton recreated the live auditory experience at McCaw Hall with a surround sound system provided by Morgan Sound.
Bob Bonniol created a system specification for the media pipeline that provided uncompromising quality and scale.
Using multiple SONY cameras, image magnification and a backup system in case the live feed went down. The simulcast system utilized Blackmagic Design's ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher, ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel, HyperDeck Shuttle SSD recorder and a variety of Mini Converters, as well as QLab media management software running on a Mac-Mini. Inside McCaw Hall MODE provided a (7) SONY 1500HD camera package and flypack with support from Screenworks/NEP and VER.
With the ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher and ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel, footage was projected from the opera house's inbound fiber runs, to the screen in the Key Arena, as well as to monitors located throughout the concourse.
Bill Mohn pre-produced graphics, including behind-the-scenes footage of sets, costumes and cast interviews, logos and intermission information and even a cartoon, were all played back via QLab media management software running off a Mac-Mini and input directly into the ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher then output to the screen and monitors.
As with any live event, there was a possible five to ten minute disparity between the production schedule and the event flow. A media contingency plan came in the form of the preshow graphics and recorded footage. Using the ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher, the team was able to make decisions on the fly and queue up extra media during delays, then pick up the live cut from the opera house without missing a beat.
Another contingency came in the form of the HyperDeck Shuttle, which recorded the dress rehearsal on SSDs and was used as a running backup in case the live feed from the opera house was disrupted. Prior to the show the footage was reviewed to ensure the image and color quality of the back-up matched the live feed. Ultimately, the live production simulcast was successful.

New White Paper: Government and the Immersive Web
Today, I am happy to highlight a white paper that went live today from the Center for Digital Government, with support from Avaya. This paper is titled Government and the Immersive Web: Making Government More Cost Effective, Transparent, Collaborative and Human, and gets to issues that are very near and dear to my heart, using technology to make society, government and the economy work better.
Paper Summary
This paper discusses how an increasingly realistic, three-dimensional, and human Internet can help government communicate, save money, increase citizen participation, attract Millennials into the workforce and deliver better overall results. It reviews the public policy benefits of this convergence of technologies and explains how barriers to adoption can be overcome.
So, what is the immersive web and how is it green?
Defining the Immersive Web The immersive web is the marriage of the rich, 3-D, spatial audio, presence-conscious aspects of a virtual world with the immediacy and social networking characteristic s of Web 2.0. This mash-up of social networking and 3-D video game technology has ushered in a new set of powerful tools for public governance that are especially well-suited to train staff and host internal meetings, as well as engage a technology- savvy citizenry. It has also brought about a new generation of applications that bring the human-to-human aspect of interaction into the field of online government.
What makes the immersive web green is that it enables the replacement of resource and carbon heavy activities with ones that make better use of resources. This process is often called Dematerialisation – the substitution of high carbon products and activities with low carbon alternatives e.g. replacing face-to-face meetings with videoconferencing, or paper with e-billing.
Here is an example, "An early pilot conducted by the state of Arizona showed that taking only 4,000 state employees off the road for a year generated benefits of 5.25 million fewer miles driven, 175,000 fewer pounds of air pollution, and a $2,000 savings per worker on gasoline." IN total, 5 out of the 6 immersive web projects from around the world highlighted in the paper had some green benefits.
The Green Benefits of the Immersive Web
Since the communications, efficiency and operational benefits of this new generation of technologies are so compelling, it is easy to lose sight of the equally important role it can play in achieving government's green objectives.
Consider how:
• CO2 emissions and associated costs could be reduced with virtual, instead of physical meetings
• Road-miles and associated costs could be reduced through effective telework that preserves the human element
• Government workers could be hired all across the jurisdiction, instead of only in congested, urban areas that already have poor air quality
Postscript: welcome to new avaya blogger
Also, want to extend a hearty welcome to Paris Pitts, the newest addition the avaya.com blog team. Paris is a Client Principal for hospitality and retail with Avaya Global Services and you can check out his first post here.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Much progress has been made in representing African-American life onscreen, but there's a long way to go.
An updated list of the theatrical venues and VOD platforms currently screening "Life Itself."
"Alps" is a film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief. It takes itself with agonizing seriousness, and although it has the form of a parable, I am at a loss to guess its meaning. Yet I was drawn hypnotically into the weirdness.
Imagine a small group of therapists who call themselves "The Alps." They have been named by their leader, who explains that the title has no meaning. They hire themselves to people who have just lost loved ones. They impersonate those dead people as a way of bringing comfort to the bereaved. They don't necessarily look like the dead ones or sound like them, but they stand in for them a few hours a week, performing memorized dialogue that has presumably been supplied by the survivors.
Preposterous, will you agree? And yet their clients hire them and go along with the therapy. Not a single person in the film points out the absurdity of its premise. We don't get to know the clients very well, but we watch the Alps members as they train in an empty gymnasium. In particular, we follow a gymnast (Ariane Labed) and her trainer (Johnny Vekris), as they work on a routine involving her dancing with a long ribbon fluttering at the end of a baton.
She does this (very well) to classical music, but when she asks to change to pop music, he tells her he will bash in her face if she questions his authority. We find it is no idle threat. This brutal relationship has no apparent connection with the grief therapy of the Alps, which otherwise consists largely of memorizing dialogue.
Early in the film, a young tennis player (Maria Kirozi) is gravely injured in a car crash, and we learn that the paramedic is a talent scout of sorts, seeking likely victims who might supply Alps customers. Team member Monte Rosa (Aggeliki Papoulia) calls dibs on the tennis player; later she deceives the other Alps by claiming the player has recovered, and then taking on the parents as private clients.
How she behaves in this role confirms what we may have suspected, that being an Alps member and doing the job requires a degree of mental imbalance and can lead to therapists spinning out of control because of the tension between who they are and the job they're required to do.
"Alps" is the new film by the Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos, whose "Dogtooth" shook up Cannes in 2009. That was the film where control-freak parents contain their children within a walled garden and further isolate them from the world by teaching them the incorrect words for things. A Lanthimos film is like a test tube for life, in which the activity depends on what specific ingredients have been introduced.
Although "Alps" is provocative and challenging, it is so completely self-contained that it has no particular emotional payoff. There is no greater world in which to evaluate its contents. When mourners are comforted by therapists who propose to represent the loved one, you'd think deep feelings would be stirred up. But "Alps" has the effect of a sterile exercise.
White privilege, lived.

David L. McClure - Associate Administrator
Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies
David L. McClure was appointed as the associate administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration Office of Citizen Services and Communications effective Aug. 24, 2009. In 2010, the office was re-established as the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies.
As associate administrator, McClure advances GSA's responsibilities in serving the American people through open and transparent government initiatives to provide increased government accessibility to the public. McClure also identifies and applies new technologies to improve government operations and service delivery.
The Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies is a powerful advocate for making government operations more open, transparent, and participatory. Through the use of innovative technologies, the office connects the public to government information and services through various channels, including collaborative and public dialogue tools, call centers, and other emerging new media technologies. As part of this effort, the office runs the award-winning USA.gov, the official website of the federal government.
McClure most recently served as the managing vice president for Gartner Inc.'s government research team. There, he managed the global government research agenda and analyst support, and was lead researcher on government information technology management practices. McClure also served on the Obama-Biden transformation, innovation, and government reform transition team, which examined federal agency IT plans and status for the incoming administration.
Before working at Gartner, McClure served as vice president for e-government and technology at the Council for Excellence in Government. Previously, McClure had an 18-year career with the Government Accountability Office, where he conducted wide-ranging reviews of major systems development and IT management capabilities in almost all major Cabinet departments and agencies. He also served as ex-officio member of the Federal Chief Information Officer Council from its inception in 1996 through 2001.
McClure has also provided key input on major federal government IT reform legislation, such as the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 that created federal government CIOs and IT business-case requirements, and the e-Government Act of 2002. He is a three-time winner of Federal Computer Week's "Top Federal 100" (1998, 2001, and 2004) for impact on government IT directions and improvements. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Public Administration in 2009 and received AFFIRM's 2010 Governmentwide IT Leadership Award.
McClure received his Bachelor of Arts and a master's degree in political science from the University of Texas, and a doctorate in public policy from the University of North Texas. He also completed post-graduate work in IT management at Harvard and George Washington universities.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
Our LED SureCut™ Folding Rotary Paper Trimmer features a revolutionary design that makes mistake-free cutting a breeze. Simply lower the cut rail and an illuminated cut-line indicates exactly where the blade will cut your paper or photo for accuracy that other trimmers can't match. A permanent scale and grid cutting mat gives you another guide to ensure precision, and a top-quality 28 mm rotary blade makes quick, clean cuts through multiple sheets of paper without tearing or fanning. When you're done, the cut rail locks down securely and the lightweight base folds in half for easy storage and on-the-go crafting convenience.

As an avid scrapbooker, over the years I have used numerous paper trimmers from a variety of manufacturers. I must say that the Fiskars LED SureCut folding rotary paper trimmer is by far my favorite! It cuts extremely accurately, extremely sharply, and will even cut less than a sixteenth of an inch evenly. It is easy to use and requires very little hand pressure on the blade housing. In the two years that I have owned this cutter, have never hurt myself using it. The built-in LED light is a clever feature but I found that it was not of particular use. But don't let this deter you from getting this cutter - it is well worth the investment. I like the fact that the blade is replaceable and is not one of those self-sharpening kinds which dulls in time. This trimmer folds in half which makes it portable and space-saving. It is manufactured of mostly clear plastic which makes it an attractive, and yet unobtrusive, tool on your craft table. The design of this product was very well thought out. I appreciate that there are measurement guides on both side of the cutting edge. Great for cutting smaller pieces of paper! I applaud the Fiskars company for producing this excellent product!
The rotary blade casing opened up while I was cutting my paper and it sliced my thumb with a 1/2 DEEP cut. This is the second LED trimmer I have owned - the first time the casing broke off and there is not a replace part for that. Now I bought another one and it happens again except this time I get badly injured

Bad news for drivers who frequent the stretch of 405 in busy West LA The billion dollar project was scheduled for completion in May 2013. But a problematic stretch between Montana and Sunset week will push full completion to mid 2014.
That stretch entailed shifting Sepulveda Blvd east; doing that meant moving utility lines for water, gas, power and Chevron's oil line. There were also right of way issues that are only now settled, according to Dave Sotero of Metro.
The good news is two thirds of the project is done right now. Drivers are enjoying new on and off ramps for Wilshire Blvd, a wider Sunset Blvd bridge and improvements on the transition from the I-10 to 405.
The bad news is the project still requires detours and lane closures. This weekend expect delays on the northbound 405 from Friday, March 1, 10 pm to 5 am, Monday, March 4.
Metro will reduce the freeway from five lanes to two to allow crews to re-stripe and improve paving between Montana to Getty Center.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) contain specific information about the nature of a substance and the hazards associated with it. There is not a set format for these documents, but all of them must contain the following information:
- Company Information
- Substance identity and Hazardous Ingredients
- Physical and chemical Characteristics
- Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
- Health Hazard Data
- Reactivity Data
- Spill or Leak clean up Procedures
- Special Protection Information
- Special Precautions for safe handling and use
The law requires that these documents must be in English and available to all employees working with or near the substance. Supervisors must keep the MSDS of each chemical in their work area. They must be made available to their workers. Please mail a copy to Frank Abell. The copy is then placed in the main cabinet located in the photocopy room across from the chemistry office. This room is also known as "the cage".
The MSDS can be obtained from the chemical supplier or manufacturer. An MSDS must either accompany or precede the shipment. If the MSDS is not received the supervisor must obtain one as soon as possible by contacting the chemical supplier.

There was talk last year about the Raiders considering a shift to a 3-4 base defense, and speculation about a move to the 3-4 returned this offseason as the team made personnel changes on "D."
Word is Oakland still was operating out of a 4-3 base, at least in the OTA sessions open to the media, but many of the practices have been private, and the Raiders aren't a team that likes to share ideas in public.
Regardless of what system is employed, the Raiders' defense is going to have to become stingier for the team to be more competitive. While the inept offense took a beating during what will go down as the woeful JaMarcus Russell era, the defense was a culprit in the club's failure, too. It has finished 22nd or lower in each of the past three seasons.
The Raiders' defensive overhaul this offseason was focused on the front seven. It began with the release of two veterans, DE Greg Ellis and DT Gerard Warren, who were past their primes. Oakland traded for Browns OLB Kamerion Wimbley — who played in a 3-4 with Cleveland — and Jaguars DE Quentin Groves, who could benefit from a fresh start at outside 'backer in a 3-4 after disappointing as a 4-3 end. The club took MLB Rolando McClain with the eighth overall pick and traded MLB Kirk Morrison to Jacksonville. With Wimbley, Trevor Scott, and Groves patrolling the outside — while McClain and perhaps Ricky Brown are stationed inside — the Raiders appear to have the mix of linebackers in place to play the 3-4.
Richard Seymour has plenty of experience as a 3-4 defensive end, and second-round pick Lamarr Houston and veteran Tommy Kelly would also likely function well as ends in a "30" front.
The personnel to play nose tackle, which is a position of tremendous importance in the 3-4, is lacking, however. There's no obvious choice to pencil in. DTs Desmond Bryant, Ryan Boschetti and William Joseph could get a shot at playing the nose. Undrafted rookie Kellen Heard, who is listed at 355 pounds, is the heaviest D-tackle, which could make him a potential fit. Making a full-blown transition to a 3-4 will be difficult without a reliable space eater in the center of the defensive line, but the option is apparently under strong consideration.

Day off for Domestic Workers in Singapore
Everyone needs a day off to rest and relax from work or school. Domestic workers (often called \'maids\') are no different. Even though current standard contracts have provisions for days off, these are often disregarded or neutralised, such as by persuading the worker to sign away her day off. As a result, about half the maids in Singapore do not have a single day off during the entire period of their employment contract, which may be a period of two years and up. Of those who do get days off, many receive only one or two days off a month. Only a lucky minority enjoy a day off a week. I call for domestic workers to be given one full day off every week, to be guaranteed by law.

The Association of Bolivian Artisans, or ASARBOLSEM, is an association of member groups based on the traditional cooperative model. Members play an important role in overseeing the activities of the organization.
ASARBOLSEM was established in 1989 to provide income opportunities for vulnerable people suffering the effects of el Niño and the loss of mining jobs. Until 1985, the mining industry dominated the Bolivian economy. By 1985, however, the mining sector was shrinking rapidly and many mines closed. This caused huge dislocation and migration forceds people to move to the La Paz and El Alto region in search of work. ASARBOLSEM provides training and product development assistance to artisans, as well as marketing support. Ten Thousand Villages began purchasing products from ASARBOLSEM in 2009.

We have a 55 fergueson to-35 that is hopefully going to be worked on soon. My question is will a rear end from a n series ford fit it? since they are so similar
On To Bigger Things
I can't imagine it fitting or you wanting to do it. The 55 probably has a 2-stage clutch for one thing, doesn't int?
Scotty D,
Check with the folks on ytmag's Ford forum or the N forum. The folks on the Ford forum always set me straight with my 861. From the stuff I've read there someone will be able to tell you exactly why it will, or won't, work.
The 8N will not fit for a bunch of reasons. I have a '47 8N and by looking I don't think the hole will match up in the first place.
Enjoy your project
