Here you will find the answers to the questions most frequently asked about our organization. Please call us or email us if you need more information.
What is your mission? To build specially adapted homes for severely injured Veterans across the nation to enable them to rebuild their lives.
Are you a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization? Yes, we are a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, and your contributions are tax-deductible. Our Federal ID # is 54-2143612.
Do you build only brand new homes, or do you adapt existing homes? We build new specially adapted homes.
Who do you provide assistance to? We provide assistance to the most severely injured service members who have been injured since September 11, 2001.
Do you help severely wounded service members from all branches of the military? Yes, we provide assistance to members of all branches of the military who qualify.
How do you select your Veterans? The Veteran must be approved for the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant from the Veterans Administration. The grant is awarded to severely injured Veterans based on the level of injury. Most are multiple amputees, paraplegic, quadriplegic, or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Veteran applies to Homes for Our Troops (HFOT), and must meet the following requirements:
What makes HFOT different? We focus on Rebuilding Lives. Our tag line is "Building Homes, Rebuilding Lives". Rebuilding Lives is the most important aspect. We believe that a home is the center of helping to rebuild the lives of our severely injured Veterans. To that end, Homes for Our Troops provides pre and post-home delivery financial planning and household budgeting, home ownership education and a full year of warranty coverage to ensure that the Veteran is set up for long-term success as a homeowner. We also follow up with our Veterans, and are developing a network to provide assistance with employment, education, training, health, and other issues. We want to provide the linkage between the Veteran and the assistance he or she needs. In addition, it is our goal to build a home of the highest quality, using top quality products that endure the test of time (Kohler, Armstrong, Whirlpool, CertainTeed etc). We build the entire home to receive an Energy Star rating for efficiency and the lowest possible utility expense, and we look for builders who have a track record of high quality workmanship in an effort to reduce the amount of maintenance and expense to our Veterans. Although the home is provided to the Veteran mortgage-free, we place a 10 year lien on the home to protect the Veteran from losing the home due to foreclosure, to protect our donors' investments in the program and to provide a period of time for the family to become more financially stable. Beginning in year six, the Veteran accrues 20 percent equity per year until he/she has full equity after 10 years in the home.
How are you funded? Homes for Our Troops is 501(c)3 (non-profit), privately funded organization, and is not funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs or any other government organization. Nearly 70 percent of our operational budget is generated by individual donors and community fundraisers nationwide who step up to help our American heroes by coordinating everything from lemonade stands to golf tournaments. The remaining financial support we receive is from corporations, foundations and our corporate sponsors.
Does Homes for Our Troops charge the Veteran for the home? No. The Veteran does not pay anything toward the cost of the home, and there is no mortgage to be paid in the future.
What percentage of my donation goes to overhead? Since our founding in 2004, administration and fundraising costs are only 9.8 percent of revenues. This means that over 90 cents out of every $1 (dollar) donated to HFOT is going directly to our program and to the Veterans we serve. View our financial statements on our website, www.hfotusa.org.
How do I make a donation? You may make a donation using your credit card online, by calling our office from 9 am to 5 pm Eastern Time at 866-7-TROOPS, or print out a form and mail in a donation to our office at: Homes for Our Troops 6 Main St. Taunton, MA 02780
You can also become a member of Operation Lasting Support, our monthly giving program, for as little as $10 a month.
Do you have any Chapters across the country? We do not have chapters. Our headquarters is located in Taunton, Massachusetts.
How is land chosen for a build project? The Veteran decides in what geographic area he/she would like to live. They often consider proximity to family and medical centers, school systems, jobs, privacy preferences, and urban versus rural settings. The HFOT land team finds and provides lots to the Veteran, who makes the decision.
Will HFOT build a home anywhere the Veteran wants to be? HFOT will accommodate the Veteran's reasonable preferences as much as possible. Currently, HFOT has completed homes in 38 states – ranging from the west coast to the east coast. Cost and certain topographic requirements such as no mountain-side lots or flood zone areas may affect build viability in certain areas of the country. However, HFOT works with the Veteran to adjust the land search parameters.
What is the SAH grant and how much is it? How does HFOT obtain the grant? The SAH (Specially Adapted Housing) grant is a grant from the Veterans Administration for the most severely injured Veterans that enables them to modify or purchase a home to accommodate their disabilities. The grant amount changes annually. The current amount of the SAH Grant is $67,555. The Veteran and HFOT sign a contract regarding the Veteran's release of the grant funds to HFOT upon completion of the Veteran's specially adapted home. HFOT works closely with the VA and the Veteran to complete the VA's required documentation to transfer the funds to HFOT. HFOT funds the remaining cost of the home entirely through private donations and corporate sponsorships.
What does specially adapted mean? Our homes have over 155 special adaptations to provide full access to the home for the Veteran. These adaptations include wider halls and doorways; automatic door openers; roll-under sinks, stove tops, and counters; pull-down shelving; backup house generator; sliding windows; roll in shower with digital temperature control; a master bedroom closet that is a steel reinforced concrete storm room built to FEMA standards.
Why would Veterans who have prosthetic legs require a specially adapted home? Aren't they able to stand and walk around just fine in a regular (non-adapted) home? What many people don't know about the amputee population is that when these individuals are at home, many actually prefer to be in their wheelchairs resting and recovering their residual limbs. Prosthetic use and wear, especially after a long day, can become quite cumbersome and uncomfortable, often irritating sensitive and exposed skin areas. Prosthetics are not ideal for climbing stairs or walking on surface areas such as rugs, bathroom tiles, and stepping over thresholds; nor are they practical to put on at nighttime when getting out of bed for the bathroom or tending to a child. Living in an HFOT specially adapted home alleviates those issues for our injured Veterans and aids in their recovery, allowing them to have complete wheelchair accessibility and avoid falls and further injuries.
Does HFOT provide a warranty on the house? Yes, HFOT provides a one year limited warranty to guard against defects. The general contractor also provides a one-year limited warranty.
How does HFOT assist the Veteran in being prepared financially for homeownership? HFOT requires the Veteran to participate in a financial planning program with a pro bono financial planner for three years. Additionally, HFOT provides the Veteran with information on property tax exemptions for which he may qualify.
How long do most build projects take? From acceptance into the HFOT Family to Key Ceremony, our time is roughly 15-21 months. Construction averages about four to seven months. Additional time is spent on land search and permitting.
What is a Groundbreaking event? The Groundbreaking event is the first milestone for our Veterans in the home-building process and an opportunity for future neighbors to welcome our Veterans and their families to the community. Supporters of HFOT's mission and the local community come together to help raise awareness for this new home project. In celebration of the project's kickoff, our Veterans and their families, with shovels in hand, turn over the inaugural mound of soil at the construction site, optimistic of the bright and new beginning the new home will represent.
What is a Volunteer Day? In the weeks and months that follow the Groundbreaking, the General Contractor and their licensed professionals complete the shell and all of the customized interior work on the home. The community is then invited to attend a Volunteer Day, to help put the final touches on the exterior grounds and help with the home's landscaping plans. Volunteers come by the numbers to lay down sod, plant trees and flowers, and make the home a truly welcoming site for the Veteran and family in anticipation of their move-in date.
What is a Key Ceremony? Weeks later when the finished home is turned over at an official Key Ceremony with community members and dignitaries, our Veterans raise the American flag and cut the yellow ribbon outside their new home. These are gestures of patriotism and service symbolizing our Veterans letting go of the barriers that previously prohibited them from living independently. Freedom in the way of a fully accessible home-has arrived at last for our Hero.
What happens if you don't have enough funds to complete the build project? We carefully manage our build schedule with our revenue flow to ensure we continue to build a home for every Veteran brought into our program.
How do I interview someone at HFOT? Please contact our Marketing department at 508-823-3300 Ext 243.

How do I start a fundraiser? Click here for fundraising ideas and tips on how to organize a successful fundraiser or email: email@example.com.
Can I contact a Veteran? Due to privacy issues, we do not provide the contact information of our Veterans. We can provide your contact information to Veterans as appropriate.
Why don't you advertise? How come we've never heard of you guys? We see ads for other organizations all the time. To keep over 90 cents of each dollar going to support our Veterans, we made a deliberate decision to minimize the amount of money we spend on advertising. While we are working to develop more national exposure, we firmly believe our success in growth these past ten years is due to our outreach at the local community level where our Veterans live. We are a grassroots organization, and our approach to advertising mirrors who we are.
Who are some of your sponsors? Sponsors include Armstrong (flooring), Kohler (plumbing fixtures), Whirlpool (appliances), CertainTeed (roofing, drywall &insulation), Mastic (siding), Cargill Beef, BlueLine Rental (formerly Volvo Rents), CertaPro, Veterans United Home Loans, and defense contractors L-3 and BAE Systems.
What kind of financial support are we talking about with those sponsors? Homes for Our Troops respects both our Veterans and our sponsors' privacy, and therefore does not comment on the specifics of relationships. Each sponsorship package is customized to meet the needs of the corporation. Some sponsors provide monetary donations; others provide services or building material (in-kind donations) or a combination of both.
How many homes have you completed? We have delivered 170 homes as of November 12, 2014, providing those Veterans a significant advantage as they rebuild their lives. During the year, we can have upwards of 55 active build projects for Veterans nationwide in various stages of construction.
Do you rehab homes? Not at this time. We build new specially adapted homes.
Have you ever rehabbed a home? We participated in the Home Award Program for a limited time, assisting 24 Veterans and Families to receive foreclosed homes that were rehabilitated by financial institutions. These homes were also provided at no cost to the Veteran to assist them in rebuilding their lives.
How much do your homes cost? The average cost of land, labor, and materials outside of California is $430,000. Homes built in California average $700,000.
How large are your homes? We build four bedroom, two bath, specially adapted energy efficient homes of approximately 2650 square feet. This provides the right size home for a Veteran to comfortably raise a family while limiting expenses for utilities.
How do you ensure quality control during construction? To build one of our specially adapted homes, HFOT selects a local licensed General Contractor (GC) to oversee daily site activities and coordinate local trades. GCs are screened for quality and a background check is performed to ensure only the most ethical and conscientious are chosen. Each home is built using one of HFOT's proprietary home plans with GCs strictly following our detailed installation and quality control steps. HFOT developed these plans based on years of experience building specially adapted homes. During construction each home is physically inspected by our team of construction managers a minimum of three times, and all stages of construction are verified through digital photo documentation in advance of payment to the general contractor. This ensures homes are built to the Homes for Our Troops' standard, meet the requirements of Energy Star, and pass the Veteran Administration's guidelines for accessibility.

With the aim of fostering innovation in micro, small and medium enterprises, the MSME-Development Institute (MSME-DI) here will chalk out a plan with focus on technology and quality in all the clusters in Tamil Nadu, said its director, S. Sivagnanam, on Monday.
Delivering the keynote address at CSIR-SERC and MSME Innovation Cluster Meet on 'Fostering Innovation in MSMEs' he said most of the clusters suffered for want of appropriate technology, R&D facility, finance and shortage of skilled manpower. To help the entrepreneurs, MSME-DI had identified more than 250 clusters in Tamil Nadu, including 70 artisan clusters.
According to him, the National Innovation Council (NIC) took the initiative to link scientific laboratories, industries and other stakeholders to bring a total transformation in the MSME sector. The NIC in association with Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) will support 50 innovation clusters by the year-end and 150 clusters in the next fiscal. Besides, the NIC will create a model for transferring the regional MSME clusters into innovation eco-systems with collaborative partnership.
"The Centre has declared 2010-20 as a Decade of Innovation. This innovation drive is expected to bring new products, new services, new processes, new business models and in turn create more jobs and ultimately lead to inclusive growth," he said. Mr. Sivagnanam said the NIC had adopted two clusters in Tamil Nadu – foundry cluster in Coimbatore and mango pulp cluster in Krishnagiri. The leather sector at Ambur has been declared Innovation Cluster through the MSME Ministry. Besides, the MSME-DI on its own with the active participation of CSIR-SERC identified three clusters to provide immediate intervention"We also plan to come out with a match-making portal which will serve as a ready reckoner for CSIR laboratories and enterprises of different sectors. The MSME-DI will be an effective facilitator and a partner to make Tamil Nadu the numero uno State," he said.
In his welcome address, Nagesh R. Iyer, Director, CSIR-SERC, Chennai, "The MSME is the real growth engine for the economy and it has to be supported. The SERC has a lot of tested technologies, which can be transferred into MSME. Entrepreneurs have to make use of our expertise."

Champion over the intimidating attractions gracing all 18 holes at Monster Mini Golf, which contains enough geometric challenges to make the course interesting for all ages. Navigate your dimpled, glowing orb past gobbling goblins, disgruntled dark trees, impolite specters, sleeping ogres, and frightened businessmen. While playing or standing in awe of the 3-D course, guests can listen for Monster Mini Golf's own in-house radio station, "W.I.R.D. (Weird Radio)," whose live, on-site DJ doles out prizes to minigolfers based on random criteria such as having multiple noses or the best high five.
"A synthetic turf-covered love letter to Washington." That's what Fritz Hahn of the Washington Post had to say about H Street Country Club after visiting the nearly 7,000-square-foot bar at the heart of the Atlas District. Yet Hahn wasn't talking about the eatery's decadent food; he was commenting on the space's devilishly tricky indoor golf course. During each nine-hole outing—for adults 21+—putters encounter the Lincoln Theatre, Ben's Chili Bowl, and the titanic grasping hands of a half-submerged Marion Barry. As if a trip to the links wasn't enough to work up an appetite, the entire first floor of H Street tempts gamers with skee-ball, shuffleboard, and wall-vs-human staring contests—all within an arm's reach of margaritas, mojitos, and other specialty drinks.
Upstairs, a glass panel filled with retired golf balls gazes out over artist and contributing decorator Lee T. Wheeler's talents, which alight upon everything from the sculptures crafted from repurposed birdhouses to the bar's cushy lounge seating. The design sets the stage for executive chef Pablo Cardoso's upscale take on classic Mexican food, with tables welcoming grilled skirt steak splayed over "cowboy" beans, a half chicken paired with yuca, and fajitas stuffed with still-sizzling shrimp. For dessert, the chef stuffs crisp empanadas with sweet mangoes, topping the confection with creamy ice cream and a note to get out of gym class for a week.
It?s 1:29 p.m. and the wave pool at Great Waves Waterpark has been calm for nine minutes. The mood on the surface, however, is anything but. An anticipatory energy has been transmitted through the water as sunbathers migrate from the sun deck, giddy youngsters from the various kids? areas, and thrill seekers from one of the park?s waterslides. The anticipation ends at 1:30 p.m. when three 80-horsepower motors begin to churn the large fans that whip the pool?s 475,000 gallons of water into waves as high as four feet for 10 minutes. This increment of waves?10 minutes on, 10 minutes off?runs like clockwork at the 20-acre facility, which also features dry attractions such as miniature golf, batting cages, and grassy areas for practicing the backstroke.
In addition to offering sun-soaked thrills of simulated waves, the park's Paradise Play boasts 30-foot slides, pogo sticks, rock walls, and a non-aqueous playground area. A faux beach with sand invites revelers to unwind while snacking on a funnel cake purchased from Riptide Caf?, while a nearby play pool with pint-sized slides lets little riders get into the summertime mix. After a full day of sliding and swimming, guests may purchase souvenirs from the Shark Shack gift shop.
Bel Air Golf Center helps duffers straighten out drives, hone putter strokes, and lower scores with an expansive driving range and miniature-golf facility geared toward player improvement. Turn unsightly snap-hooks into power-draws of supernatural beauty at one of the driving range's 47 stalls—10 of which are enclosed, heated, and lighted to facilitate sessions in rainstorms, after sunset, or on the ice planet Hoth. The range also helps divoteers dial in their distance with 14 target flags measured to precise yardage.
When new owners gained control of Putt Putt Fun Center in 2011, they brought with them a fresh vision that culminated in modern updates. The recently revised center encompasses a spectrum of family fun; the indoor area houses an arcade—fully loaded with air hockey and a Wheel of Fortune game—beside an inflatable labyrinth of moon bounces, slides, and obstacle courses used to train armies of balloon animals. Once visitors have exhausted themselves inside the glowing laser-tag arena or other sheltered activities, they can venture outside to the mini-golf course, where faux caverns and a wooden footbridge arc over abbreviated greens. Nearby, athletes smack baseballs into orbit from the batting cages.
The Severna Park Golf Center houses a variety of activities that let families fill an afternoon with belting balls. Adults ($7.25) and children (12 and under, $5.75) can precisely putt their way through the Lilliputian links winding around an eight-foot waterfall on the 18-hole mini-golf course. A par 27 nine-hole course gives full-sized chippers an opportunity to practice short game situations during abbreviated rounds ($12 on weekends, $10 Mon.—Thurs.). Dust off dormant drivers by launching buckets of dimpled orbs ($6 for 50 balls, $12 for 150) from the fresh hitting mats on the driving range. Fifteen of the 44 stations are covered and heated so that golfers can practice their backswing no matter how low the temperatures limbo this winter. The expansive fields also house ballpark-style batting for claustrophobic sluggers unable to find their swing in cramped cages or abandoned mine shafts. This variation of batting practice ($5.00 for 35 pitches, $12 for 105) mimics actual baseball, so hitters can call their shots and rush the mound if the pitching machine tries to hit them.

Sea-Tac Airport passengers stuck in massive security lineson June 12, 2013 @ 4:40 pm (Updated: 5:00 pm - 6/12/13 )
Those warnings about giving yourself plenty of time before your flight should definitely be heeded these days at Sea-Tac Airport, where travelers are facing massive security lines.
Passengers have been complaining on Twitter the last few days of waits up to 90 minutes long just to get through the checkpoints. Alaska Airlines posted a warning Wednesday to travelers, urging them to plan for at least an hour in line through 7:30 p.m.
While the lines seem unusual, Sea-Tac Airport spokesman Perry Cooper says it's just the start of the summer travel season and there's nothing out of the ordinary to blame.
"The summer has really kicked in here this week and from here on out until the end of August we will average about 100,000 people going through Sea-Tac Airport everyday," Cooper says.
According to Cooper, lines tend to move slower in the summer because of the increase in inexperienced travelers who don't know about the proper procedures and restrictions on things like liquids.
The airport is working with the TSA to try and speed the lines, including moving passengers from one checkpoint to another to spread the load around.
"If we've got a smaller line, we'll shuttle them from one end of the airport to another," he says.
But there's only so much they can do, so the best advice is expect the worst and give yourself plenty of time before your flight.

More and more jobs in the United States require degrees, but rising fees mean they are out of reach for many people unless they are prepared to accept large debts. Even online learning tends to be based on traditional models. Universities need to think more creatively about how to close the higher education gap using forms of education that are adapted to individual needs.
Employers are missing the wider benefits of internationalisation � at home and abroad � because we are not using the right language to describe them. Academics may also be reluctant to promote internationalisation due to the perception that it will increase their workload. This must be tackled.
Branch campus success owes more to the home campus of a university than the overseas branch. That includes initial planning and the whole reason for setting up a branch campus in the first place.
American universities have increased their tuition fees annually above the rate of inflation � even before the 2008 crisis. This has led to a sense of entitlement that universities must continually expand what they offer when, in the face of funding cuts, they need to tailor programmes to their budgets.
The cost of expanding higher education student enrolment is mainly being covered by private institutions because the government prioritises its spending on schools. If fee increases occur and graduates are unable to find jobs, disillusionment with higher education could set in.
Transnational education is booming, but quality assurance is lagging behind in many countries. A concerted international effort is needed to establish an improved quality assurance regime for transnational education.
The recent Erasmus impact study provides food for debate on what makes for positive study abroad experiences. It also shines a light on the issue of how to make the benefits of internationalisation available to all students.
Impact assessment is vital for the internationalisation of higher education, but it needs to be more than a numbers game. There ought to be much more in-depth use of data to show the full benefits of policies and practice.
Ukrainian universities in the Donbas have been taken over by separatists. Students can move to other universities, but academics are at much greater risk. However, they can be helped by a legal change that could benefit the whole of Ukraine.
International rankings are coming to the Middle East, but could they lead to homogenisation and division between institutions and countries? It would be better if the rankings measured a broader range of criteria than research output, including regional collaboration.
Higher education institutions in the United States need to look at tailoring their budgets to consumers who are reluctant to fund ever-rising tuition fees.
Surprisingly little attention is given to service learning and in particular job placements as part of the international learning experience for students. With stress on global citizenship and global professional development, these strategies are more important than ever.
In the next few years there will be many opportunities for universities looking to attract more Indian students, driven not so much by government policy but by student demand. They need to be prepared to cater for the students� needs.
This year�s higher education admissions round in Ukraine is more complex than in the past due to the war, but it has put the spotlight on old systems of privilege which need reforming.
The arrest and release of a Tajik research student linked to a Canadian and UK university highlighted the need for universities to support their international students in an age of transnational and sometimes dangerous research.
The future of internationalisation will require a renewed focus on the reasons for doing it and will take into account the changing context for international higher education, where there are no longer barriers between global and local.
The struggle for higher education reform in Ukraine has been long and the passing of new legislation is by no means the end of the process. Now universities must focus on the reform�s implementation.
Internationalisation of higher education would be more successful if it took account of the local context, was aligned to institutional missions and if more attention was paid to measuring its outcomes.
A new programme is seeking to understand what can help Chinese postgraduate students make a successful transition to study abroad in Australia, and hopefully in other Western countries as well.
Latin America is making strong progress in international higher education. But it needs to look more at alliances between countries rather than being too dependent on Europe and North America.
Universities that teach their students the soft skills employers are crying out for will have a competitive advantage and will ensure that going to university is worth the debt burden students are accruing.
English grammar programmes are increasingly popular around the world, but students are not interested unless they can see a practical application.
A twinning programme between Malaysia and Australia is teaching Malaysian students leadership skills and confidence to navigate the professional world while keeping them grounded in their own culture.
Indian higher education is highly complex. Despite fast growing enrolment, there are concerns about quality. Reform of the system needs to begin with moves towards greater transparency.
Creating environmental sustainability on United States campuses was the big goal a few years ago. Today, ensuring financial sustainability is a much more difficult challenge to face.

Former Aftermath artist Busta Rhymes recently detailed his reasons for leaving Dr. Dre's record label and how he turned elsewhere for his latest release.
In addition to Dre, the Flipmode leader also said there was no bad blood between him and Interscope head Jimmy Iovine.
"I just like to give people my latest greatest," Busta said in an interview. "So when I did the Back On My BS album, that was the album I decided to record as a result of the new excitement, the new deal, the new enthusiasm, the new support system…When that situation didn't feel like it was going the way I wanted it to go, the false starts, I said You know what, maybe this album ain't the one I should be coming with right now…I was able to grow comfortably before I got to Aftermath and Interscope, not to say there's anything wrong with my relationship with Dre or Jimmy. My problem was certain things I know through my experience of professionally recording that was supposed to be facilitated wasn't being facilitated…I've sold many multiple platinum albums and have had a very successful career run before I got over there. I just wanted to get back to sitting behind the wheel, controlling my own destiny." (Hard Knock TV)
Busta recently said his new album would be a return to "substantial" hip-hop.
"I'm happy, real happy, about a lot of things," Busta said in an interview earlier this year. "I'm in a great situation. New label, new money, new excitement, new sound, new album, just new everything. I just feel like I'm being born again or something…The album sounds like the substantial hip-hop that has been missing from the game for a long time…That traditional boom bap – hard kicks, hard snares, solid bass lines, records that sound real melodic because they're very incredibly structured songs, very lyrical records. It's the well-rounded balance of what a real hip-hop album is supposed to feel like." (Boston Herald)
The move from Interscope/Aftermath took place late 2008.
"Me and [Dr.] Dre are still good," Busta told DJ Envy on his "The People's Choice" radio show last fall. "So even though I'm not in business with Aftermath or Interscope, I'm still with Aftermath. Me and Dre are always gonna be good…Big up to Interscope for, you know, giving me the leaked joints and the set-ups." (Hot 97)
Busta's latest solo effort landed on the charts this week.
Flipmode leader Busta Rhymes' Back on my Bullsh*t just missed the Top 5 landing at No. 6 on the charts. His eighth solo project debuted with 59,300 copies after seven days on stores shelves. (Sales Wrap)

I found an app called "App Lock" which did the trick. You can lock down specific programs or settings. I locked the entire settings page and you are asked to enter a pin to make modifications. Does the trick.
Awesome idea, but...Has some problems...at least with Jelly Brian and the Nexus 7. When entering the code, but before pressing OK it goes into the app, then back to the lock screen. If you're fast enough to get the OK button, then it unlocks the app. Ultimately I have to remove this. Would love it and even buy it if it worked better.

Google loves Wikipedia. Everyone knows it, and many aren't that happy about it, especially when some of their poorly written content outranks higher-quality websites on the same subject. But did you know Wikipedia pages appear on Page 1 of Google for 99 percent of searches?
Beyond that staggering number, Wikipedia is the No. 1 result on Google for 56 percent of searches, while 96 percent of searches saw Wikipedia in one of the top five positions. Only eight keywords (Mail, news, trainers, national, sweets, wardrobe, phone, flight) didn't appear on Page 1.
These numbers all come from a new study by Intelligent Positioning, which based their findings on 1,000 unique one-word searches created by using a random noun generator on Google UK and conducted using Google Chrome on Incognito mode.
Author Sam Silverwood-Cope notes that Wikipedia did "extremely well" for geographic and scientific searches (e.g., Himalayan, bird and paediatrician), but also did surprisingly well for searches of food and clothing (e.g., butter, milk mayonnaise, trousers, underclothes, wallet).
"If there was one place taken up in every search by Wikipedia, then that would mean there is one less place in the Top Ten for possible PPC paying corporations," Silverwood-Cope wrote. "Just a thought, not a fact."
Of the eight words that didn't show up on Page 1, Silverwood-Cope noted that "all these words are obviously highly competitive or incorporate the word within major corporations and services (for example National)."
Wikipedia has millions of pages indexed and is considered an authority website by Google – co-founder Sergey Brin has called Wikipedia "one of the greatest triumphs of the Internet" and "an invaluable resource to anyone who is online" and has generously donated to Wikipedia.
But after seeing these numbers, should Wikipedia be dominating Google's search results to this extent? Tell us in the comments.

I was only ten years old when former Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was unceremoniously dismissed from office in 1975, but his death last week had a profound impact
on me, as it did on so many other Australians.
I am not only sorry at his passing, he was such a towering presence — physically and politically.
Many in Australia mourn that Gough's political legacy has been tragically trashed over the subsequent decades, by both sides of politics. I doubt we will see a return to those heady days.
I had the pleasure of meeting "The Great Man" years ago when writing radio commercials
at Sydney radio station 2KY, which at that time was owned by the Labor Council of New South Wales.
Former NSW premier Barrie Unsworth was the General Manager and was showing Gough around the palatial corporate edifice.
I was rather a fan of the Mambo clothing company. On the day in question, I was suitably attired in the standard creative uniform of a Mambo t-shirt, my wardrobe resembled a Mambo shop.
My selection that day was a satirical parody of the famous Australian match brand Redheads (apologies to Australian readers for getting the glove puppets of explanation out). In place of the flaming caricature redhead, my t-shirt depicted controversial (for want of an expletive) "politician" and all round embarrassment to Australia Pauline Hanson. The word "Redheads" had been brilliantly replaced by "Rednecks" with assorted contents and warnings as you can see.
After exchanging pleasantries with Gough, he looked down (quite literally) at my t-shirt,
smiled and said "Well done, Comrade."
A memorable moment from an unforgettable man.
Vale, Gough.

Custom executive education focuses on the development and delivery of non-degree leadership and management education programs for corporations in the United States and abroad.
Under the category "Value for Money," Kelley Executive Partners ranked 19th worldwide and ninth among U.S. schools and programs. The program was ranked 11th overall by Financial Times in its measure of the extent and effectiveness of follow-up offered after the course participants returned to their workplaces.
"The Kelley School is ranked among the top-tier business schools for all our programs across the board, and we are proud that some of the most prominent companies in the world turn to us for the knowledge and skills that will help them compete more effectively in the global marketplace," said Idalene Kesner, dean of the Kelley School of Business and the Frank P. Popoff Chair of Strategic Management.
"This Financial Times ranking confirms once again that we are among the best in the world at providing custom-designed executive education programs," she added.
IU's Kelley School provides custom executive programs for Indiana-based global corporations such as Cummins, Eli Lilly, Cook Medical, Hill-Rom, Zimmer, Bemis Polyethylene Packaging, Elanco and Deaconess Health System, as well as companies based in other states and abroad.
Corporate clients rated Kelley highly for its teaching methods, course design, overseas programs, follow-up and overall value-for money.
"Kelley has been among the leaders in business education precisely because it has focused on helping its corporate clients achieve their business, as well as their learning outcomes, through executive education," said John F. Cady, executive director of Kelley Executive Partners.
"Through our work with our corporate partners, we ensure that our students are exposed to the knowledge and business practices which allow them to make important contributions to their employers and society at large," Cady added.News Source : IU's Kelley Executive Partners ranked by Financial Times as a global leader in executive education

Companies Gain Single Path to Storage Access across Cloud, Mobile, and In-House File Servers
Storage Made Easy, formerly SME Storage, unifies storage with its Cloud Service Brokerage solution, providing complete access to files via a single management tool, no matter the file location.
"Managing files spread across multiple onsite and public cloud information services is more than challenging, it actually interferes with business operations," says CEO Jim Liddle. "We're directly addressing 'cloud sprawl' and the 'shadow IT' effect these services are imposing on organizations."
A proven player in cloud service brokerage, Storage Made Easy provides cohesive access to multiple internal and external data services and unifies management, security, governance, and search. The service offers strong audit, BYOD management, and compliance capabilities coupled with fast cross-service file search from any client or device.
Storage Made Easy can be used directly within the enterprise or existing cloud storage providers can use the solution to offer value-added services to their clients.
The Storage Made Easy platform is available as a VMware appliance that can be installed in the corporate data center or can be hosted on Amazon EC2 or Linode. The open cloud platform syncs all meta-data while the original files reside on the original storage platforms. Storage Made Easy offers a rich-client Web UI as well as Windows, Mac, and Linux tools. Files can be accessed via the iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone mobile devices, as well as other access points such as Google Gadget, Firefox / Chrome Plug-In's, Facebook, Microsoft Office, Open Office, among others.
This single-cloud file system allows file management from a one-cloud file tree. It comes integrated with enterprise identity management systems like Active Directory to enable single sign-on of multiple federated cloud services while maintaining permissions.
"One client is using our service to create a unified file view literally across the globe, combining the local data center with cloud services to provide file access to branches in different continents," continued Liddle. "Storage Made Easy gives enterprises and SMBs a way to leverage all the benefits of the cloud and manage complete data access without having to integrate anything, saving significant cost and headaches along the way."

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

This review is from: WildStar PC Game
Pros: This game is fantastic! One of the most well fleshed out MMOs since World of Warcraft! The game is very refined, and has been in production for 7 years in secret! The questing system is great, the PvP is fantastic, and the raids have me absolutely stoked. Somebody finally made another really great MMO. They don't try too hard to be "different" just for the sake of it. They build on the best features of great MMOs past (let's face it, WoW) and offer a very thoroughly thought out and well built end game.
Cons: None that I have found so far. This game is very well thought out and refined. They really took their time. And unlike past MMOs, their plan is to actually provide monthly guaranteed updates. The only potential con is that it's a $15 monthly fee, but that $15 actually pays for content every single month.
Other Thoughts: Great MMO. If you like MMOs, whether for the questing, PvP, or raiding, this is a really well built one. Perhaps the first that has a shot at longevity similar to that of WoW. I won't call it a WoW killer, I don't think such a thing exists, but it will be around for a long time I'll tell you that, and maybe even rival WoW someday.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: COUGAR 12CM Green LED Hydraulic (Liquid) Bearing Ultra Silent Fan 1200RPM, 64.4CFM, 16.6dBA - Retail
Pros: Very nice looking, sleeved, extremely nice fan compared to every other LED fan I've seen.
Cons: One of them rattled and I didn't notice where it was coming from until it was too late to return it.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Noctua A-Series NF-A9x14 92mm Blades with AAO Frame, SSO2 Bearing Premium PWM Low-profile Fan
Pros: Worked for long enough for NewEgg to wash their hands of it
Cons: Started making a loud, incredibly obnoxious whirring noise almost exactly one month after, making it impossible for me to return to NewEgg using my ShopRunner free shipping, but unrealistic due to shipping prices to return to Noctua.
Other Thoughts: Wow, I hear nothing but good things about Noctua fans, yet this is the loudest, worst fan I have ever owned by far. Never ever had an experience like this with any fan before through 30+ computer builds.READ FULL REVIEW
