I was rooting for India to submit Ritesh Batra's Sony Pictures Classics pick-up "The Lunchbox," a warm Mumbai romance starring Irrfan Khan that cut a swath on the festival circuit from Cannes to Telluride and Toronto. But no, The Film Federation of India committee went another way with its official foreign language Oscar entry. They selected relatively unknown Gujarati-language road movie "The Good Road" from first-timer Gyan Correa amid a barrage of negative reaction.
Produced by India's National Film Development Corporation, the film premiered in July at the London Indian Film Festival and later won the National Film Award for a Gujurati film.
Batra tweeted: "Heartbroken. We could have gone the distance we were told by our U.S. distributors, by the Hollywood press…"
I have not seen "The Good Road." But "The Lunchbox" had a real shot. This underscores the need for the Academy to revamp the foreign language category, which has been stuck for years. One of the problems of letting individual foreign countries make the call is that they are often myopic if not corrupt and do not necessarily select the film that might best compete against other films for the Oscar.

um.. yay?
(the indians know what they want to send to the oscars...its not what the company sircar in hollywood wants them to send....Tremondous respect for leela sampson (the head of the indian censor board and the government owned film financing body NFDC which produces Awesome Awesome films over the years, in face of the crap produced by hollywood financed "multiplex" film companies.)

Anne -- this is such an oft-cited issue (unhappiness with the rules of the Foreign Film category at AMPAS), but I wonder why the press thinks that solutions would be so simple!
One of the hallmarks of the AMPAS category (which only came into existence after BICYCLE THIEF was given an honorary Oscar after achieving undeniable world-class status) is that each country submits only one film to represent itself. This is no small consideration, creating the need in today's world to view and judge a massive number of films fairly. In the British Academy, BAFTA, there is no such system. Their Foreign Language Films category is open, resulting in a preponderance of films from the countries with the most developed film industries, like France or Italy, and often the category will include more than one film from one country. So, there may be NO film from India or Sri Lanka considered, or any of the smaller nations where fewer films are made. Much less diversity is seen there, but maybe it's more fair? They simply have different goals in the category.
But if we want to keep the awesome number of films in consideration which makes our Academy's Foreign Film Oscar so special (and so coveted) -- how would we choose the submissions from other countries? Clearly we can't be responsible for picking the films from another country. Nor can we monitor how other countries choose their submissions.
I'd be curious to hear what other readers think the problems are in the system, since this is such a contentious issue -- but urge people to remember that the Academy is a private institution of members who give awards which have become of great interest to the public at large. But at the end of the day, AMPAS is responsible for abiding by the rules it sets, and in the case of this category, the logistics are daunting.

There is a real problem with the Indian selection committee - and admittedly with some other selection committees, but what would be the solution? It's obviously impossible for the Academy to look at enough films coming out of each country to make a selection. And just making a selection from the films released in the U.S. is a real disservice to smaller countries that don't have the financial backing to make a real theatrical run here. The category was originally started to give a boost to film industries around the world and to some extent it still does that. When the Peruvian film The Milk of Sorrow was nominated a few years ago, the Peruvian government became more willing to free up some money for film production. And I imagine that the good response that Wadjda has been getting in the U.S. and at festivals will make it easier for the next Saudi Arabian film to be made. I'd hate to see that go away.

'Affordable way to pay' for long-term care needed
– Andrew Hine, UK head of health at accountancy firm KPMG
Few, if any, societies have truly faced up to the magnitude of the crisis of long-term care. All too often the debate over finance seems to overshadow the scale and gravity of the wider challenge which is, and always should be, delivery of quality care for patients.
The onus is on a wide group of leaders to come up with an affordable way to pay for the care today's society will need, tomorrow. It's encouraging to see a heavy dose of realism, with many patients accepting that the Government can't be expected to cover all costs unless taxes rise substantially or major savings are made elsewhere.

NAVIS Narrowcast is a lean, mean, data gathering machine that captures extensive information about your guests and your not-booked callers. One of the best ways to leverage this data and gain significant new leisure revenue, especially in the short term, it to implement an outbound sales strategy - what we call Outbounding.
Outbounding has proven to be extremely successful with NAVIS clients (see sidebar). Initially, nearly all didn't think their reservations staff had the capability to implement a successful outbounding program. But with the help and guidance from their NAVIS Client Advocate, NAVIS clients are finding out how to identify the most appropriate people on their staff, how to train them, and the Best Practices for converting more to reservations.
Best of all, NAVIS Narrowcast can be configured to automatically rank your leads using standard or custom criteria. With the built-in weighting system which is easily modified, you can quickly identify the best leads for follow up, thus optimizing the productivity of your Outbound agents.
A key element of an effective Outbounding program is the contact information. NAVIS Narrowcast provides a built-in CRM platform called ELM - Enhanced Lead Management.Read On
These are actual outbounding results from NAVIS clients who wish to remain anonymous, for obvious reasons.

FI wants to start TTC this year and I'm terrified
- Posted 7 months ago by futuremrsk18
- last comment
I'm currently 32 years old (May 28th bday) and will be just shy of 34 on my wedding day. FI and I talk a lot about when we're going to "pull the goalie" and start TTC. The plan isn't to start charting or anything like that, we want to take more of a NTNP approach. I mentioned last night that my baby fever is starting to grow and he suggested stopping BC sooner rather than later (as in like next week when I take the Nuva Ring out for my next pd). This is not the first time he's suggested this but I've been resistant up to this point. However, we are not getting any younger and want to have more than one child. I'm just concerned about getting pregnant during engagement, do I want to be pregnant during this time of wedding planning? What about my dress? Is it too much to take on? At this point, I have one more NV Ring in my prescription that will bring me into February. I said lets just go through then and keep thinking about it until it's time to either get a new prescription or just go with the flow.
Ladies, were you TTC, NTNP or Preggers during your engagement/the wedding? Thoughts? Regrets? Would you do anything differently? Any advice is appreciated!!!
Well is really on you, how you feel about being preggos while engaged and if you are okay to adjust your wedding dress and all. My hubby and i wanted to start TTC before we even got engaged, but once we got engaged we put a pause to it only cause i was so stress with the wedding planning that i didnt wanna cause any harm to the baby, if i got preggos. I don't regret stopping for a while. Iam 30 now and just started again. Good luck girl and best wishes:)
We were TTC for a couple months while we were engaged. We ended up stopping everything for the seven months that led up to our wedding for our beliefs but had we not stopped we would have been trying through the entire thing. I want to get pregnant, no matter when it happens.
I think it all depends on you and your fiance and how you feel about getting pregnant before you are married. It could make the dress difficult and you really shouldn't be stressed while pregnant.
Have you thought of pushing up your wedding date? I would be worried about your dress fitting when your wedding is so far out– post pregnancy bodies are hard to predict.
If it were me, I'd get married this spring and start trying a month before the wedding.
@jny1179: I was 8 weeks pregnant on my wedding day this past June. Still fit into my dress as planned and the day was exactly as I would have wanted, expect no booze I didn't have many symptoms at that point other than larger boobs and a tiny bit of morning sickness and more tired than usual. We found out 3 weeks before the wedding, and I have to say it made me absolutely not care about the little details about the wedding at all (and this was a good thing!). Programs never happened, I told the florist I trusted her judgement and let her do her thing, and I just kind of let things happen instead of trying to control every little thing. It was pretty awesome, my mind was too busy thinking about the baby to worry about the wedding. It really put things into perspective that a wedding celebration is just for a day, but the becoming a family thing is for life and way more important. I am 35 weeks pregnant now though and I would cry if I was having the big shebang at this point, I couldn't handle a big wedding and being this close to the baby's arrival. I am too tired and waddly to enjoy excitement for more than a couple hours. I have no regrets and can't wait to meet our little guy!
@KitKatNYC: Thank you that really puts things into perspective!! I know if I were that close to giving birth at the wedding I would be miserable. I'm so happy that you could have your day with no worries and the excitement of a new baby!
@Pollywog: Well, my little brother's GF is 3 mos pregnant and they just got engaged (way to steal my thunder!! kidding, I'm not mad) and will likely get married before the baby comes (due July 4th) so I don't want to move the wedding up and step on their toes. Plus my parents are helping us to pay for the wedding and need time to save up some money which is why the wedding is a year and a half out in the first place.
Thanks ladies for all the responses, the feedback really helps to put things into perspective!
We are getting married in March and started TTC in December and got our BFP! So I will be 13 weeks at the wedding. I hope this baby is a sticky one!
@MrsMaskatoBe: Sending you positive vibes!!!! Congrats and good luck!!!!
We are. I've done the math and right now is the best time to get pregnant. Then I'll be a couple months delivered by the wedding. Much as I want a wedding, we want a baby more. It's all a matter of what is right for you. And for us, it's right.
We were TTC during our engagement, about 2 months before our wedding. We probably would have started sooner but both of us thought the other wasn't ready.
What is more important to YOU a perfect wedding or having kids? I am also 32 and regret not starting TTC sooner. We started about 1 year after our wedding because we wanted to be more ready (job wise, etc). I wish we started sooner because it is taking longer than anticipated and I'm afraid we may not be able to have more than 1 child since we are not getting any younger and running out of time…
We're debating this too. the wedding is in August and I still want to fit into my dress won't really start trying fully (charting, etc) until May/June at the earliest. Debating if we're going to be NTTP before then though
My husband and I are both 32 and I am *so* glad we didn't try to ttc while we were engaged, because we started NTNP one month after our wedding and got a positive 2 1/2 weeks later when my period never showed up. From reading these boards I'd been sort of led to believe that it might take us ages to get pregnant, so we started "early" anticipating a long wait.
Everyone is different, but our families are conservative and me being pregnant before the wedding would not have been a good thing. We didn't want that for ourselves either. I've also been unlucky enough to have extreme, 24/7 nausea for the past 5 weeks and I am unbelievably Bloated. While the extreme nausea doesn't happen to everyone, it didn't run in my family at all, and somehow I still got it. I can't imagine having to go through a wedding feeling this bad. We would have had to call it off, as I have many days that I can't get out of bed.
i would advise you not to try until you really want a baby– meaning, don't try early, expecting a long wait. You may conceive immediately,like us. =) we have friends our age who got married 2 months before us who are also preggo, so sometimes being older means nothing.
Good luck!
Have you thought about getting off BC and starting charting? This way you will know when you are ovulating, therefore avoiding the BD, but your body will have time to get back into its natural rhythm so when it is time you will be ready.
We're NTNP for the time being but still preparing by taking folate and I'm not drinking anymore. I figure if I slowly cut back on all of the bad stuff I won't miss it so much in the 9 months I won't be allowed to have it! We're currently 9 months out from our wedding (so unlikely I'll go in to labour at the alter lol) but I have looked over my dress to work out how to accomodate a baby bump if need be. We'll start TTC a little more actively in a few months.
I'd have to aggree with the other bees who have said that it really depends on your views and your priorities. In our case, we're marrying not only because we love each other but because we want a family. It might take a while, so why not take a headstart?

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The woman accused of murdering Paul Brown, 48, in Southwest Lubbock, will get out of jail between now and when she goes to trial.
Carol Nussbaum, 60, is accused of killing Brown at the Boulders Of Lakeridge apartment complex. His body was discovered on November 18th 2009. Nussbaum's attorney claims the killing was self-defense.
Nussbaum pleaded guilty Wednesday morning to an unrelated DWI charge that stems from June of 2009. She agreed to a fine and 180 days in jail with credit for time already served in jail. Nussbaum agreed to go through an alcohol rehabilitation program as part of the plea bargain.
She will be allowed to live in Stephenville and if she violates terms of the deal, she can be put right back in jail.
Her bond on the murder charge was reduced in late January from $250,000 to $50,000.

When it comes to college football mascots, the University of Georgia's bulldog, Uga, reigns supreme. For more than a half-century, this bulky white bulldog has been pacing the sidelines, sitting on his block of ice and occasionally terrorizing opposing players at Georgia's famous Sanford Stadium. The original Uga, known simply Uga I, first took to the sidelines in 1956. His descendants, all owned by the Frank W. Seiler family of Savannah, have followed in his path. Currently the Uga throne is held by the fantastically successful Uga VI.
Big Winner:
Georgia boasts a rich football history. But only recently, under the direction coach Mark Richt, have the Bulldogs catapulted themselves into the nation's elite. Some Bulldogs fans, though, give the credit Uga VI, who is both the biggest (at 65 pounds) and winningest of all Ugas, boasting a career record of 87-27. Uga VI has also seen his Bulldogs win two SEC championships and snap lengthy losing streaks against both Florida and Tennessee.
A Good Life:
In the state of Georgia, Uga is a true celebrity. Fans line up on gameday to their get photos taken with him and, as anyone who has ever seen a Georgia game on television knows, Uga enjoys a good life in general. On especially hot days, his handlers lay out bags of ice for Uga to lie on. Each Uga is also given a spiked collar and a varsity letter, and when they pass, all Ugas are buried in the official Uga burial ground at Sanford Stadium. Before each home game, flowers are laid on each of the Uga graves.
Uga V became a college football celebrity in 1997 when he both appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and starred in the film, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." But Uga V is hardly the only Uga to attain media celebrity. Uga IV was featured in Time, Newsweek and Football News as well as Sports Illustrated (as was Uga VI). The Ugas have been honored by the Georgia House of Representatives, Georgia Senate Chamber and Georgia Governor's Office, and the Uga tradition was also the subject of a recent documentary, "Damn Good Dog."

What Are You Playing? June 16th, 2012
Posted on Saturday, June 16 @ 10:00:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Sorry if I was a little cryptic with the blurb on the front page, but I'll be finishing Persona 3 Portable this weekend. Japan just received Person 4: Golden, a game I am dying to play. October seems so far away!
Aside from that I'll be playing more Gravity Rush, and if you've got a PlayStation Vita and haven't picked that up, you really, really should. But enough about my plans....
What are you playing?

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Though it's almost Christmas, there's still time to help out The Angel Tree.
The charity collects gifts for needy children who may not otherwise receive a holiday gift.
6 News Reporter Jill McNeal recently spoke with volunteer Micky Perry about how Knoxvillians can still help out for the holidays.
The nonprofit is still accepting donations for baby supplies, which they hand out year-round.
They are also offering to wrap gifts for donations at West Town Mall. The money is used to buy the presents that donors did not cover from angel trees this year.

UNH Faculty Senate
Motion on diversity in strategic
on diversity in strategic planning
1. Motion presenter: Agenda Committee
2. Date of Faculty Senate discussion: 4/20/09
3. Rationale:
The Faculty Senate has passed at least two motions on diversity: the first was a 3/08/04 motion endorsing diversity as a compelling interest (Motion VIII-M8) and the second was a 4/18/05 motion endorsing the strategies and vision of the Diversity Strategic Task Force Five Year Plan (Motion IX-M17). The Diversity Council voted on 12/8/09 to have the Vice Provost and Chief Diversity Officer write to the President on its behalf and express "...our support for keeping diversity as a core commitment of the University of New Hampshire" and attending to it during the strategic planning process. The issue was raised at the Strategic Planning forum on 3/31/09, 12:30-2:00, the video of which can be seen at http://www.unh.edu/strategicplanning/workinggroups.html. At that time the panel, consisting of various co-chairs of the working groups, admitted that, while perhaps diversity had not been explicitly addressed in most of the groups, it is a value that should be addressed. The panel agreed that more attention was called for. In the preamble to the Strategic Plan Working Group charges, in the section entitled "General Charge to all Working Groups", President Huddleston articulates the following criteria: "They should foster and advance the University's commitment to achieving excellence in all we do through diversity and inclusion."
4. Motion:
The motion is to request that President Huddleston re-charge each group, to address explicitly the issue of diversity in the context of their proposals and for the members collectively to spend some time conversing about ways we can implement the values endorsed in the Faculty Senate diversity motions, in the overall Strategic Plan; and we further ask that the Steering Committee explore ways the groups can enrich diversity in the process of pursuing the other worthwhile values involved in the specific charges.
5. Senate action: passed with twenty-seven ayes, two nays, and three abstentions
6. Senate chair's signature: Marco Dorfsman
Forwarded to: President Mark Huddleston, on May 5, 2009
Forwarded to: Provost Bruce Mallory, on May 5, 2009
Forwarded to: Lisa MacFarlane, on May 5, 2009

Q: Can I register vat?
A: Yes below 60000 per month turnover not applicable, above 60000 register your local vat.
Q. I eat healthy foods. Why should I supplement?
A. Unfortunately, even if you're eating right, you're still probably not getting enough vitamins and nutrients from your diet for optimum health. Many of today's foods don't pack the nutritional punch they did years ago. According to a report published in the Journal of HortScience, the average vegetable found in today's supermarket is anywhere from 5% to 40% lower in minerals (including magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc) than those harvested just 50 years ago.
The decline is attributed to modern crops being harvested faster, giving them less time to absorb nutrients, and the use of fertilizers that may interfere with a plant's ability to take up nutrients. That's why nutritional supplements are so essential to maintaining health and vitality. In 2002, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) began advising all adults to take multivitamins to help prevent such common chronic illnesses as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.
"Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements," according to the statement in JAMA. Physicians are paying attention. Did you know that 72 percent of physicians personally use dietary supplements? Obviously, supplementing is an ideal road map for health.
Our nutritional supplements are not considered a food item, nor should Nutema direct products be consumed instead of food. Nutema direct nutritional supplements are meant to enhance one's overall wellbeing by providing optimal levels of nutrition in addition to the foods they eat.
Q. Can I take Nutema while I am pregnant or nursing?
A. We have testimonials from many women who have consumed Nutema essential nutritional products before, during and after their pregnancies with excellent results. In fact, most report easier pregnancies and faster recovery while getting balanced nutrition from the products. However, you should show the products to your physician for approval before starting a Nutema during pregnancy.

10 Years
Editorial: Anniversary Issue
If you are one to notice the issue numbers that appear next to our name on the spine – or above the barcode on the front cover – you will quickly ascertain that this particular issue has avery significant number for a monthly mag. 120 issues? That means ten years of Linux Magazine.
We are well aware that the theatricality of such moments is often overplayed. After all, no one on our team has actually been here since the first issue. Still, the chance to reflect is always healthy. Our first issue rolled off the printer in October 2000, which doesn't seem so long ago for many of us who remember what we were doing back then, but in the Linux frame of reference, ten years is a very long time.

My apologies for not posting this earlier, but last night was one of those nights where I didn't have much time for TV, so I wasn't able to watch the Daily Show episode on my DVR until I sat down to eat a PB&J for lunch earlier. Of course, the episode included a skit — a spoof of Hard Knocks in which the show's correspondents attend "training camp" to prepare for the upcoming political conventions — that made me LOL and immediately think, "I absolutely have to post this."
So without further hoopla, enjoy "Hard News: Inside Correspondent Training Camp."
I want more like this!

NEW ORLEANS - The Association of Small Business Development Centers is holding its annual conference in New Orleans.
One of the featured presentations will be from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The topic of that presentation is the 2012 Economic Census, which measures America's economy and is set to begin in October.
Most people have never even heard of this census, but it's conducted every five years.
Mark Wallace, chief of the Service Sector Statistics Division at the bureau, was in the studio to tell us about the survey and how it can be used, especially by small business owners.

After 20 minutes at Phog Allen Fieldhouse, the Missouri Tigers lead the Kansas Jayhawks 44-32. Missouri is looking to bounce back from a home loss to Kansas State while the Jayhawks look to avenge their loss to the Tigers, which featured an end-of-game meltdown that squandered a comfortable lead. It's the last meeting as Big 12 conference members between these two old rivals. And, with both ranked in the top five, it's the game of the day in college basketball.
While Missouri is known for its dynamic four-guard attack, it has been Ricardo Ratliffe on inside who's given Frank Haith's club a huge boost. Ratliffe has been incredibly active on the glass, grabbing five offensive rebounds (nine total) and adding 10 points. He helped Mizzou build an early five-point lead in the half.
Mike Dixon and Marcus Denmon did the damage on the outside for the Tigers. Dixon came off the bench and immediately added 11 points, while also dishing three assists. Denmon, along with Phil Pressey, helped lead a late 10-2 run that helped build the Tigers lead to as many as 13. Denmon finished with 13 points, hitting three treys. As a team, the Tigers hit 5 of 11 threes to build the late 12-point lead.
Jeff Withey, the Jayhawks' seven-foot center, went to the locker room early with a sprained ankle. Withey is a difference-maker for Kansas but he struggled mightily in the Jayhawks' loss to the Tigers earlier this month. He played only 23 minutes and was held scoreless. On Saturday, he returned from the locker room and re-entered the game but has been hampered by early foul trouble. Once again, he's scoreless.
Teaming up with Withey on the interior for Kansas is the All-American candidate Thomas Robinson. The Jayhawks' dominant power forward has 10 points so far but has also been whistled for two fouls, the second coming on a questionable block-charge toss-up. Kansas will have to get more on the interior and limit the Tigers fastbreak and guards' penetration to get back in it in the second half.
For more news, analysis, and discussion on the Tigers, visit Rock M Nation, SB Nation's Mizzou blog. For all your Kansas news, check out Rock Chalk Talk, SB Nation's Jayhawks blog.

Proper use of SEO techniques will almost certainly benefit your site. The higher up your site is in search results, the more visibility you will have to potential customers. You are going to find some useful SEO tips that will help you to improve the ranking of your site. Infuse the power of your SEO by using off-site links that connect to the highest possible quality content you can find. This is one of the most important aspects of linking. Search engines will rank off-site links full of good content higher than links connecting various pages of your own website. To maximize the ranking impact, find linking options that will also link to your website.
Anchor Text
Using keywords as anchor text is an easy way to kill two birds with one stone. If you are only typing "click here" and subsequently linking that term, that is doing absolutely nothing for your search engine results. You can attract web crawlers to your anchor text by using relevant keywords in it. Successful SEO requires a bit of time and a lot of patience. It's human nature to look for immediate gratification for the hard work you put into something. It takes hard work and time to get a following online. It is critical to stay the course, even if nothing appears to be going on with your website. Eventually your work will raise your rankings in the search results.
Content on your site is an essential part of search engine optimization. The content should be well written, unique, the appropriate length and focused on your main keyword or keyword phrase.
Your title should be focused around your chosen keyword or keyword phrase if you want to truly optimize your search engine results. You need to place this tag on each page of the site. Also end your title link with your company name, which will connect all pages together. Without a well branded company name, it should not be expected that customers will search for your business this way.
Search Engine
Establishing a search engine with clearly defined parameters allows you to optimize your website efficiently. Have your search engine recognize specific commands that enables it to return the most accurate results for online searches.
Do not use deceptive techniques to get rankings; search engines will catch on and penalize you. Sometimes popular search engines even ban certain businesses from their results entirely.
Many people are under the impression that simply including keywords in comment tags will make a website more visible to search engines. Instead, you should just focus on having good content.
Site Map
Make a site map to help the search engines index your site's pages. A site map (navigation bar) provides directions to content on your whole site. Even if your site is small, a site map can have a big impact on its search engine rankings.
Using plenty of keywords in your articles is important for your search engine ranking. When you incorporate keywords that pertain to the subjects of your articles, search engines can find them easier.
Pick a domain name which has your desired keyword in it. You want people to be able to find your site easily. Visitors may be drawn through ads, but are also often drawn by using a keyword search for your type of product.
Search Engines
Based upon your resources, you may be able to fully optimize your site for only one or two of the major search engines. Keyword selection is an important part of gaining recognition by different search engines. , Ask. But many of the major engines have their own particular nuances that are unique to themselves.
You should avoid creating entire pages that are filled with nothing but links. You should do all you can to make your links an integral part of your website's content.
An easy way to boost your page ranking immediately is to buy a previously owned domain name that already has a good reputation. Any search engine will give priority to domain names that have been around for over two years. Look for older domain names that were recently dropped,and see if they might work for your website. As you work to optimize your site for search engines, it is important to make the most of social networking sites as well. If you join Youtube, you can show videos of your products and perhaps the way you use them. You can talk directly to your visitors with social media sites. You should research what keywords are going to best fit your business. Learn what keywords you should be focusing on as you put together your site's content. This allows you to know what potential visitors are looking up in your category. By using relevant keywords, you can help increase your rank on search engines.
These descriptions will let your web site show up higher in search ratings. Meta tags can be considered search engine call tags, as they often appear in the brief website description beneath the hyperlink of your website.
Optimize a single page for a single keyword phrase. Attempting to use multiple keywords on one page can make it difficult to keep the page organized and on topic. It is easier to keep quality up when you focus on only one topic, and better content means happier readers. When you have loyal readers, you can count on good search engine results. Search engines will lower your rank if your page has duplicated content on it. Write something new so that you will increase your rank and attract more visitors. If the content of your website is comprised mostly of videos, you should know that search engine crawlers have a difficult time tracking videos without additional help. Be sure that all of the media on your site is organized with a text site map so that search engines can register it.
Inserting keywords throughout the content of your website can greatly increase the number of people who come to your site from search engines. Look to load your keywords into the beginning passages of your text without overdoing it.
Join the BBB or the nearby Chamber of Commerce to boost your SEO. These sites typically will have a link to your website, and this can help if someone does a local search. In addition, people will have trust in your business and product if your Better Business Bureau rating is positive. Learn what kind of experience they have in SEO. Be aware of the risks that are involved, so you will be able to make an informed decision. Strategically placing keywords within the main body of text on your website or blog is a great way to increase traffic coming from search engines. Make frequent use of keywords toward the beginning of your content, but do not overdo it. Generally, you want to incorporate the keyword twice in your leading paragraph. After the first paragraph, integrate the keyword as much as possible throughout the following 200 words; the key is to find a way to use the keyword as often as you can, without it becoming noticeable or redundant.
Search Engine
These tips will help you find your way at the top of the search engine results. To ensure continued search engine optimization success, it is important to consistently read about new techniques in the industry.

Just some thoughts as we approach the big Cardinals game in a few hours. It's amazing how having a team with a winning record and attitude can change things. It used to be years ago that you would hope for the Saints to win but you would expect them to lose. Now, we are more likely to expect them to win and hope they don't lose. It's a small difference in the wording, but a major difference in outlook and approach!
Of course, when looking at the record and accomplishments, this is the best Saints team in their history. But I think it goes far deeper than that. I believe that the entire current group associated with the team (I'm including coaches, admin, staff, etc.) are among the best that have been affiliated with the Saints. Nothing against the teams we fielded in the past, and the previous coaches and staff members, but I think these are just some of the best people, and they are being used in the most effective ways posible for the most part. It's made for a remarkable year, and win or lose it has been a season I know I will never forget!
Let us hear your opinions, and why you agree or disagree.

A trial is getting underway this morning Scottsbluff man accused of sexually assaulting a minor.
32–year–old Maxiliamo Cano Samayoa is charged with third degree sexual assault of a child, and three counts of first degree sexual assault on a child.

The victim first confessed the alleged abuse to an older sister who heard her crying one night. Shortly after the victim's parents were notified and the authorities contacted.
Prosecuting Attorney Doug Warner expects the trial to last between one and two days.

MADISON (WKOW) – The Dane County Medical Examiner's Office identified the man found dead on his bed on Wednesday.
Bruce G. Engendorf, 54-year-old of Madison, was found on his bed located in the garage of a residence located in the 4000 block of Maher Avenue.
Authorities said the death investigation began shortly after 7:20 p.m. on Wednesday September 19.
A forensic autopsy completed on September 20 disclosed injures inconsistent with initial information obtained at the scene from witnesses who discovered the decedent. Authorities said additional testing is underway in reference to this death investigation.
Director of Operations Barry Irmen said the preliminary autopsy results indicate that Mr. Engendorf's death was the result of blunt force trauma of the head.
This case remains under investigation by the City of Madison Police Department and the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office.
MADISON (WKOW) -- Police arrested a 62-year-old man on a tentative charge of 2nd Degree Reckless Homicide in connection to a death investigation from earlier this week.
Police say a 54-year-old man was found dead in his home on the 4000 block of Maher Ave. Wednesday evening. An autopsy revealed the man had suffered a head injury.
The man's roommate, David A. Tingom, was arrested Friday. Police say Tingom got into a physical altercation with the victim in the driveway of their home Wednesday morning. A short time later, the victim went to bed to sleep. He was found dead later that night.
The Dane County Medical Examiner has not yet released the cause of death or name of the victim.

text: I am beginning to think more and more that the Texas State Legislature, mainly the powers that be in burnt orange in Austin have EVERY intention to block Texas A&M from leaving the Big 12 and I am also about 90% certain they will be successful in doing so. Texas A&M depends on funding from the State of Texas and the University of Texas can get that cut in a heartbeat. That being said, we are going to be stuck in one very unhappy conference with one to two members always having the proverbial thumb out looking to hitch a ride with someone else. I also believe, how much it pains me to say so, that even if Texas A&M were to leave, and Missouri somehow elects to stay, that OU will stand pat come hell or high water with the Big 12 and what is left of it and be happy with simply adding the University of Houston. I say that the Big 12 has learned there is NO WAY it can stand pat at 10 teams. It needs to be proactive at getting back to 12 and possibly even up to 14, even if it means you are not adding substance. Personally my choice would be to do whatever it took to get TCU and Boise State into the fold. Both schools are successful RIGHT NOW in their current scheduling situations. Both schools have proven recently, that they can bring it to OU, and therefore have proven their merit on the field. Now I am fully aware that neither school will bring anything to the conference other than their current teams and coaching staffs, but I think they would be good additions. As I have read somewhere else on this board, BYU and Louisville have told the Big 12 no. It just seems to me that the powers that be in Norman have no interest in leaving behind either OSU or Texas if they don't have to. This is a stance that will anger many people, but I am afraid it is what I am reading. At this point I would be happy moving to the Big 10 regardless of what anyone else does, but that is just me. Even an OU, OSU, A&M and Missouri block to the SEC would be nice. Anything but standing pat. Thoughts?

With over ten minutes remaining in the first quarter against the New York Jets, Mark Sanchez drilled wide receiver Patrick Turner with a trailing Leon Hall collapsing on the receiver just as the reception is completed. Carlos Dunlap, not rushing the quarterback but not exactly dropping into coverage either, shadowed the football to Turner. Sprinting behind the play when a single leg emerged from the pile of tackled bodies, contacting the defensive end's knee like a fastball being punished to deep left field. This play essentially ended Dunlap's preseason.
According to Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, Dunlap is expected to miss at least four weeks with a knee sprain, threatening his chances against the Baltimore Ravens during Cincinnati's regular season opener.
This isn't the first time Dunlap has suffered an injury in his career. In fact it's his third injury he's faced with his knees. During his rookie season, Dunlap emerged from preseason with a knee strain, missing the first two games that year. He missed every preseason game the following season in 2011 with another knee strain. Later that year he suffered a hamstring injury in the closing moments against the Tennessee Titans, missing four games that year -- three of them against the Pittsburgh Steelers (twice) and one against the Houston Texans, critical games.
Let's face it. Dunlap is a special talent. Despite missing four games in 2011, he still captured the team-lead with 29 quarterback hurries. His 13 hits on the quarterback (that didn't result in a quarterback sack) was second to rising star Geno Atkins. And during the second half of his rookie season, Dunlap recorded 9.5 quarterback sacks, falling one short of Ndamukong Suh's rookie mark. Like Atkins, Dunlap is a rising star in the NFL.
Yet we have to ask, is Dunlap now characterized with a question about durability? Will you hold your breath every time he's laying on the turf before lifting himself off the field after a play? Dunlap spent the offseason working out at Florida, adding weight to his frame to prevent a reoccurrence of the hamstring problems that plagued him last season. We're not sure if there's any way to prevent knee sprains, but it sure seems that they're happening an awful lot.

A new child and family advocacy centre will officially be called Koala Place. Pictured are Richard Allaire, the Board Chair of PrévAction, and Rachel Daigneault, the Executive Driector of Children's Aid Society of S.D.G.
CORNWALL, Ontario - Koala Place, a Child and Youth Advocacy Centre (CYAC) located at 123 Pitt Street revealed its new name and logo Tuesday at a press conference featuring key members involved with the project.
The CYAC became operational in January and has since been acting as an advocate and support network for children and families grappling with physical and sexual abuse.
Koala Place is the first such facility in Cornwall.
"For a child, youth, and their family, disclosing physical or sexual abuse is one of the most difficult things they will have to do," said board chair Richard Allaire at the press conference.
"As a community and as professionals we have the responsibility to support these children and youth, and make it as easy and comfortable for them as possible."
The project was funded by the Department of Justice Canada's victims fund and from other key community partners. The fund will continue until March 31, 2015, and will have to be renewed.
Several partner organizations such as the Police Services and Children's Aid Society of S.D. & G. have been doing whatever they can to help.
"We're proud to be associated with the CYAC. So much work and effort has been done to make the CYAC dream come true for our community," said executive director of the Children's Aid Society of S.D. & G Rachel Daigneault.
The plan for the centre dates back to 2006 when a group of community leaders drew up plans as a response to the Cornwall Public Inquiry.
The board looked at many other centres across the country and nation to make sure Koala Place would be just as good as the rest.
The koala was seen as the perfect animal to represent the centre by Executive Director Elyse Lauzon-Alguire.
"The koala is a very child-friendly animal with big ears," said Lauzon-Alguire. "What we do here at the centre is listen to these children and their families when they disclose their stories. It is about the ears and how friendly they look."
Koala Place will be holding its official opening ceremony on May 22. The event is open to the public. If interested, send an RSVP to email@example.com

Thanks for visiting our Johnson Motor Review. In this review you can easily uncover whether Johnson Motor is a scam or legit. You should continue reading in case you think about purchasing this product.
To start with, listed here is a breakdown of what Johnson Motor is:
Official Product Web site: www.johnsonmotor.org
Approved Retail store: Clickbank
Refund Guarantee? : Yes
Refund Period of time: Sixty Days
Does The Johnson Motor Really Work?
In simple terms, the Johnson motor is a device that generates electricity via magnetic thrust. It is an electric motor, but also something else, and unlike any other electric motor you've ever seen.
What distinguishes the Johnson Motor from devices "like" it is that it's able to generate free electricity. Most people's first reaction to the claim is that it's surely a scam. It is not, however, a scam, and in this review we'll explain how it's possible and why you may have never heard of it before now.
Of course, there are costs involved. As they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Initial costs include the blueprint, the build materials, and the builder's time and energy. Those are the only costs, however, so once the user offsets those, the Johnson motor delivers real energy that is truly free.
No company sells the motor directly. The motors can be heavy and awkward, and manufacturing and selling them is simply not practical. Sure, a small and light motor is possible, but the more energy it produces, the larger and heavier it'll be. Most users want enough electricity to augment the power for a home.
At those requirements, selling it directly is impractical, especially once you factor in the cost of storage, shipping and markup at two phases, at least. Even with minimal profit for the manufacturer and rights holder, the cost would be prohibitive. So a blueprint, which includes actual build instructions, is the only current practical way to sell the motor.
What Makes the Johnson Motor Special?
Many consumers come to a review like this one for proof that the motor is not a scam. The question that drives the consumer is why. Why is this motor not readily available? Why aren't there any alternatives? Well, the answer to that, beyond the manufacturing impracticalities, lies in issues with the patent and low sales.
Patents for "perpetual motion" machines are rare. They're also difficult to duplicate. A competitor would have to create a similar design distinct enough to deserve its own patent. The problem here is low incentive due to low sales. Even if sold by a review and convinced that it's not a scam, most consumers simply aren't adventurous enough to purchase a blueprint to build their own device.
Now, let's get down to the brass tacks of this review: the advantages of the Johnson motor. This motor is a truly green solution. It has NO environmental impact at all, and it releases NO emissions or byproducts. Compared to wind turbines and solar solutions, it does NOT require a great deal of space. In the optimal scenario, it is used similarly to solar panels, complementing the conventional power system.
The Johnson Motor can be heavy. That can make them difficult to move, and they're not practical for many mobile tasks. This has limited their usefulness since they're not practical in cars and the like, yet. Be wary of any review that promises an all-purpose motor. In that case, it is not the motor that's a scam. There is also the issue of cost. The blueprints are reasonable, but materials can be costly for a sizable motor.
Seems Too Good to Be True?
From the consumer perspective, the biggest issue with the Johnson motor is that it seems too good to be true. The term perpetual motion has a negative connotation. The truth of this review, however, is that perpetual motion in relatively small amounts via magnetic thrust is very real and not a scam. As mentioned, there is some impracticality involved, but if you build it for a home in which you plan to live in for years, the dividends are very real.
Verdict Of The Johnson Motor Review
When Howard Johnson met with the U.S. Patent Office in person, they reiterated that the U.S. government does not award patents for perpetual motion machines. By the end of that meeting, they awarded him a patent for the Johnson motor. When it comes to "perpetual motion," many have faulty preconceptions. The U.S. Patent Office did. You probably did too. The motor, however, is not a scam, and this guide has all the blueprints which will make it possible for you to build your own Howard Johnson Motor.

Drink-driver knocked down pedestrian in Colne
1:38pm Friday 22nd February 2013 in Pendle
A DRINK-driver who knocked down a pedestrian near his home in Colne has walked free from court.
James David Whitaker's Vauxhall Corsa ended up on its roof after the collision with Claire McCarthy in Khyber Street last August, magistrates heard.
It was his second serious driving conviction in 10 years.
Whitaker, 27, of St Andrew's Close, Colne, admitted to failing to stop and report an accident, and driving with excess alcohol.
He was given an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, combined with a year-long probation order, with £85 court costs and an £80 victim surcharge.
Whitaker was also banned for three years after the court heard it was his third drink-driving conviction.
His breathlyser reading was 111mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath – more than three times the legal limit.

Harrisburg firefighters are burned up over a state funding stream they claim is dedicated to them, but only receive a small portion. A state senator explained Harrisburg is receiving every penny in some way.
As soon as the state budget came public this summer, a headline for Harrisburg was a 'record $5 million for fire protection'. In July, abc27 reported only $400,000 was actually dedicated to the department. Harrisburg Receiver William Lynch said the remaining $4.6 million in state grants would be spent to pay down the city's outstanding bills and the deficit.
Lynch released his 'Harrisburg Strong' debt recovery plan this week and called for the same $5 million state funding in fire protection and public safety services ever year until 2016. According to the plan, that cash would help balance the city budget. Harrisburg firefighters and representatives with the local IAFF 428 fire union were puzzled why they would continue to see a small portion of that money.
State Senator Rob Teplitz (D-Dauphin) sat down with abc27 on Wednesday to explain.
"I don't think the funds should be viewed as a windfall to the city or to the fire department specifically," he said. "And, I think some of the misunderstanding maybe in viewing the money that way...where really it's a reimbursement for service provided."
Teplitz pointed to previous years when Harrisburg received $1 million or less in state funding for fire protection services, therefore, forcing the city of Harrisburg to cover the costs and adding to its financial failings in part.
A table from 'Harrisburg Strong' showed Harrisburg received $2.5 million in 2012, $987,000 in 2011, $987,000 in 2010, $1 million in 2009, and $1.25 million in 2008.
Vice President of the local union said many firefighters felt duped when the record $5 million in fire protection was touted. He spoke with abc27 last week about fire protection concerns in Harrisburg and spoke about the need for increased funding.
"With five million dollars we could actually replace...our entire fleet could be replaced," he said. "We need the man power, we need the equipment to do the job."
The 'Harrisburg Strong' plan projects about $1,000 will be spent a year on 'vehicular equipment' from 2014 – 2016.
Teplitz said he has been ensured the money will be spent in the proper way, "The issue of using the money for fire service, using the money to balance the city budget are one in the same," he said.
Along with State Representative Patty Kim (D-Dauphin), Teplitz said they are trying to secure the $5 million state funding stream for fire protection a permanent fixture.
"Hopefully in future years, the city can invest that money into equipment, training, etcetera…That the fire department thinks it needs," said Teplitz.
