What Is Open Access?
"Open access" is free, unrestricted, online access to scientific and scholarly research. There are two primary vehicles for providing open access: open access journals, and open access archives or repositories, such as eScholarship@UMMS.
The purpose of this guide is to provide resources and information to the UMass Medical School community about open access and new models of scholarly publishing.

NIH Public Access Update
NIH Steps Up Enforcement of Public Access Policy
On November 16, 2012, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that it is tightening enforcement of its policy requiring that investigators deposit copies of their papers in a public archive. Starting as soon as next spring, researchers who haven't complied will not receive the next installment of their grant. Read more:

Why Open Access?
Video: How Open Access Empowered a 16-Year-Old to Make Cancer Breakthrough ... An interview on Open Access to research journals with Dr. Francis S. Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health, and Jack Andraka, the 16-year-old inventor of a breakthrough cancer diagnostic and winner of the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
- Better visibility and higher impact for scholarship. Research has shown that articles available freely online are more often cited and have greater impact than those not freely available. Alma Swan's Feb. 2010 study, "The Open Access citation advantage: Studies and results to date," summarizes the methodologies and conclusions reached by studies looking at the citation advantage of open access. Summary data indicates a 300-450% increase in citations in Medicine with open access.
- More knowledge leads to better patient outcomes. Opening access to research will allow all doctors access to relevant information for decision making, leading to more effective treatments and better outcomes. Access to medical research is also crucial for patients and patient advocates.
- Return on the public's investment in taxpayer-funded research. Open access allows the public to see the results of that investment.
- To help achieve science's full potential by removing price barriers. With open access, researchers worldwide can read and build on the findings of others without restriction.
- Improved education. Faculty and students will not be limited by the selection of scholarly journals their campus libraries are able to provide.
"A Story to Tell": Read this short piece that tells the true story of a physician's efforts to nationally distribute an operating room checklist that could potentially save thousands of lives - complicated by the fact that the authors had signed over their copyrights to a publisher.

FIRST Act Severely Undermines U.S. Public Access Policies
(SPARC, March 12, 2014) "Earlier this week, Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN) introduced the H.R. 4186, the Frontiers in Innovation, Research, Science and Technology (FIRST) Act....Among many troubling provisions, the bill includes language on public access that SPARC strongly opposes. The language, contained in Section 303 of the bill, would impose significant barriers to the public's ability to access the results of taxpayer-funded research, be a step backward from existing federal policy in the directive, and put the U.S. at a severe disadvantage among our global competitors."
Students and Open Access
The Right to Research Coalition (R2RC), a student organization formed in 2009 with nearly 7 million members, has published a student guide to open access publishing: "Optimize Your Publishing, Maximize Your Impact." This resource presents students with the ways in which they can make their research openly available for the widest possible readership and lays out the benefits of doing so – both as authors and as readers. This is a great resource for student authors.

Now on Twitter
"Green" Open Access: Depositing your publication in an open access repository, such as eScholarship@UMMS ("self-archiving")
"Gold" Open Access: Publishing in open access journals
"Hybrid" Open Access: An option now offered by many traditional publishers where an author can pay a publication fee to make an article open access.
Embargo: A fixed delay between the time a publication or data is deposited into a repository and the time it is made public
Version Terminology: Here are generally accepted definitions for a journal article in its various versions as it moves through the publication process:
- Pre-print: Version first submitted to publisher, before peer review
- Post-print: Final version after peer review, AKA "accepted manuscript". This is the version mandated in the NIH public access policy and in most institutional open access mandates.
- Publisher's version/PDF: Copyedited version with publisher's formatting and paging

Rage Against The Machine Bulls On Parade Lyrics
Last updated: 02/19/2013 02:10:31 PM
Come wit it now!
Come wit it now!
The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Etither drop tha hits like de la O or get tha fuck off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
That rotten sore on the face of mother earth gets bigger
The triggers cold, empty ya purse!
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells
Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library line
up to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
They rally round the family! With pockets full of shells!
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells!
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells!
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells!
They rally round the family! With a pocket full of shells!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Thanks to Charwinger21 for submitting Bulls On Parade Lyrics.
Electric | Reviewer: John Wilson | 2/19/13
Bulls on Parade is somewhat a good song around the town. It's heavy as metal is but It's better to just find out what the song would be about. However, Go on youtube and watch the video on your supercomputer If you have one.
bitchin' track | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/11/12
This a great track. It's heavy but the baseline hits hard, too. I see it's some hatin' niggas hatin' on this track, but they're not really reviewing how heavy the riff bangs or how original the song feels when it drops or how fluid the meld between hip-hop and rock is on this track. I would rather remark that this track boasts a tight flow in Zach's rhymes, has a mean baseline and Tom's guitar screams like a beast in this song. Niggas gotta hate on what they make in they minds cause this track is too heavy to hate-- it's just awesome. Get this album, play this song, hit repeat, and enjoy that shit. Real talk.
yawn | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/15/12
Zach of the Roaches is...where? What a once was! And please, bigmouth. It would be so easy to knock that whiny little bitch's dick in the dirt and make him lick it up, scrawny little twat that he is. I'll put it up on youtube, though so you cumbubbles can worship his wussiness. You can watch him suck and blow at the same time, like I had to many years ago when they were famous for five minutes. Consider it payback for that awful noise he used to make. Now don't get so mad that you punch a hole in daddy's wall, you might end up oppressed. Wah.
iron man | Reviewer: bilton | 10/8/11
It's very ironic that people seem to think that this song would pair well with the film iron man.
Also It's hilarious that tom morello is actually in that very scene you're talking about! Pure brilliance haha
@OMFG! R U Fucking Retarded | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/16/10
OMFG! What an under reaction. Why not track down the poster of the heinous comment and torture him to death. Motherfucker said it could be a little difficult to hear what zach is saying. He must die. Painfuilly. I know, we can hack the server to find out the country his IP address is in and then we can maybe release smallpox on them. If wee only had a nuke we could be reasonable sure we'd get him. Or am I being over zealous? Surely not. Hate to love
Ridiculously good song | Reviewer: Dan | 6/21/10
Great song, both in technique and overall sound, though that idea of playing it in Iron Man when he's killing people would defeat its entire meaning. The song takes a stand AGAINST the war machine, not in favor of it.
good | Reviewer: Metalhead | 2/7/10
Rage against the machine is a good band, i am a very political person, i agree with some of their views, others i don't. Although I believe the government is wrong alot of the time, i don't think a rebellion is the answer.
kick ass song | Reviewer: Tom Morrelo kicks ass | 9/1/09
this song kicks ass billiam thats a good film iron man it would be a killer if that came on oh and jack i learning it on drums to already lernt guitar and bass with sing did it at school talent show But AWSOME SONG IT ROCKS! p.s i got the song from gh3 and killing in the name from greatest hits
AWESOME SONG! | Reviewer: Niiiice | 8/1/09
At first I thought Rage was a piece of shit, but after listening to a few of their songs over and over i've really got into them. Awesome political commentary (clever lyrics), Tom Morello is by far my favourite guitarist. Overall, very talented band.
What do you people have against Audioslave, I mean sure, its not as meaningful/powerful as Rage but its still an awesome band.
Note. | Reviewer: Jack | 4/9/09
To whoeer said it is just rally round the family, have you heard the song, you can hear something before rally, and im pretty sur its they. But, I LOVE THIS SONG, Zack De Rocha rocks, Tom Morello kicks ass, and their drummer, i dont know his name, but im learning the drums to this now, and hes fricking pro! Lots of cymbal work. Sore hands =P
Good Song | Reviewer: Graham | 3/7/09
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. One point of clarification, is it really, "rally round tha' family"
I always thought it said, "Radley (some guy) had no family, only a pocket full of shells (as in he was going to go on a killing spree)."
AWESOME | Reviewer: Billiam | 11/28/08
If you have ever seen the summer blockbuster "Iron Man" you know that Bulls on Parade would be perfect for when he breaks out of the cave and the terrorists are shooting at him and then he says: "My turn" and then bulls on parade starts that would be killer!!!
OMFG! R U Fucking Retarded | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/28/08
I don't know who this anonymous piece of shit thinks he is but if you actually believe that Zach De La Rocha is a problem you should have your eardrums blown into oblivion so that you can never hear again! Zach De La Rocha is the driving force behind this band and without his incredible amount of knowledge, which you are obviously oblivious to, there would be no such thing as Rage Against the Machine and the amazing drums, bass, and ridiculous guitar, that you seem to love would seize to exist you stupid fucking ignorant sheep.
Sickass | Reviewer: Saaam | 10/9/08
This songs lyrics are very political, as are all rage's songs..awesome individual vocals, they're almost in a genre of their own with this song. It CAN bbe hard to hear Zach sometimes which is why this could be wrong..still sick song.
awesome | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/27/08
i love this song. tom is the greatest guitarist ever in my mind. as for zack, rage would be nowhere without his radical politics. this song i think is about the overvaluing of the military by our government.

Prices Hit a Pique
California pays the bill, but who...
The Doomsday Scenario
Debt + secret triggers = another Enron.
reveal Mirant's cash flows, and therefore its ability to cover its obligations.
Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's said in early February that they had asked several hundred investment grade companies to disclose their borrowings and trading agreements in a bid to avoid being blindsided by risks such as those that were caused by Enron, according to press reports. Enron stunned investors in November when it disclosed it had to pay off a $690 million note because of a recent downgrade. As a result, the credit agencies have demanded better disclosing of triggers.
Clifford Griep, S&P's chief credit officer, said the usage of such triggers have become so common that there is a need to incorporate triggers in the rating process. But as S&P and Moody's sort through hundreds of MAC clauses to incorporate in rating, what is to stop another credit agency downgrade from inadvertently causing another bankruptcy?
Doomsday: From Run on Bank to the Domino Effect? Widget Energy, a fictional merchant energy trading company, finds itself being compared by investors to Enron because of its use of mark-to-market accounting. This has led to investors calling Widget a "black box" like Enron because they feel that the company's earnings are not transparent to investors. This results in a visible decline in the company's stock value. At the same time, credit ratings agencies are concerned over Widget's large levels of debt that the company has accumulated due to its merchant power plant development program.
The drop in the stock and the downgrade of debt to "junk status" triggers a series of MAC clauses in the company's bank credit facilities and backup commercial lines. The company has to pay off a $700 million note. But because the stock has dropped, Widget has triggered another guarantee for another $200 million. Also, energy trading counterparts, due to the credit rating downgrade, are asking Widget to unwind all trades. Not having any other choice due to lack of access to capital, Widget declares bankruptcy.
But Widget is not the only merchant operator to see its stock drop and its credit rating decline. The credit ratings agencies, due to multiple downgrades in the sector, have inadvertently caused MAC clauses to be triggered in several other energy companies, leading to a credit crunch in the industry, or liquidity crisis. The liquidity crisis leads to multiple bankruptcies.
Could this scenario happen? At the Edison Electric Institute's International Financial Conference in London, chief financial officers I talked with were showing quite a bit of concern over their MAC clauses and how their companies were being perceived as a result of their use of mark-to-market accounting. One company, Dominion, outwardly boasted of what a small share its mark-to-market contracts were in number to other hedged contracts. In addition, other CFOs confessed they were actively swapping out their MAC clauses for other credit facilities that might be considered less onerous, focusing on reducing the number of triggers contained in contracts.
So, the industry is reacting to investors and credit agency concerns by paying-off debt, by selling off assets, and improving its

I was wondering whether Charles Poliquin truly is as knowledgable and great at what he does as a lot of people say. Problem is, I have never heard of an average Joe having first-hand knowledge on the certification programs (only fanboys or colleagues of him) or personal training experiences. I've also never seen him on TV or such like.
- Have you ever attended one of his seminars, certification programs, have you been a client of his?
- Do you think he and his success stories are for real, or is it more fake and blown out of proportion than anything else?

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Officials say Amazon has closed on a deal to locate a distribution center in Hillsborough County.
Commission Chairman Ken Hagan said Thursday that Minneapolis-based Ryan Cos. closed on the sale of the land to insurance company USAA on Wednesday. USAA has obtained a long-term lease with Amazon to occupy the site.
The new center off Interstate 75 in Ruskin is expected to create 1,000 permanent jobs, including 375 positions that pay more than the state's average wage. The Tampa Bay Times (http://goo.gl/TkedDw ) reports that the county is waiving about $6.4 million in property taxes and paying $1.1 million for the higher-paying jobs.
Improvements and equipment for the new facility represent an estimated $200 million investment.
With a physical presence in Florida, Amazon customers in the state will have to start paying sales tax.
No opening date of the center has been set.

Turkish parliament recalled for emergency meeting
Friday, March 14, 2014
ANKARA - The Turkish parliament will be recalled next Wednesday for an emergency meeting to debate the charges against four former ministers who resigned in the wake of the December 17 corruption investigations, Turkey's parliament speaker Cemil Cicek announced on Friday.
Two of Turkey's opposition parties united behind main opposition party (CHP) this week to gather the required number of signatures to force parliament to break the recess, which was due to be in place till after local elections, on March 30.
The summaries of the charges will be read out in the general assembly then the Turkish deputies will vote by secret ballot on whether to set-up a commission of inquiry within the Turkish Parliament.
The commission members will then decide on whether there should be judicial proceedings. Their decision must be approved by the general assembly.
Cicek also emphasized that he, as parliament speaker, must comply with the penal procedure code and the law.
Referring to the summaries of the charges sent by the prosecutors, Cicek said at a press conference in the parliament that this is a judiciary proceeding, and stressing, "The case should be considered according to penal procedure code."

Digitization of Audio: A Comprehensive Examination of Theory, Implementation, and Current Practice
One of the central issues in digitized audio is the conversion between the analog and digital domains. In many ways the conversion process determines the final system quality because a digital system can be made arbitrarily high quality by using additional resolution bits in the digital word. The theory of conversion in terms of perceptual and mathematical degradation is reviewed for different kinds of conversion systems. State-of-the-art implementation questions are also examined in terms of the types of degradations which are produced.

Chaz Bono Shakes Dat Thang on Dancing With the Starsby Free Britney at . Comments
Chaz Bono has already lasted four weeks on Dancing With the Stars, more than a lot of people expected. But he's got plenty of obstacles still to overcome.
Chief among them? Shyness. Partner Lacey Schwimmer sought to help in that area, choreographing a routine requiring Chaz to shake it like never before.
How did that turn out?
All things considered, very well. It wasn't near the top of Monday's Dancing With the Stars scores, but in terms of personality and exceeding expectations, Bono continues to shine. Check out Chaz's sexy samba on Monday's show right here ...
Who do you think will win this season? Vote below!
If Chaz was just a regular obese guy who couldn't dance, no one would pay a moment's notice to him. The attention isn't for his dancing skills (he has none) but his transgender status. And that is all.
No chaz wont win. And its not because hes transgender, but because he cannot dance as well as the others. May the best dancer win.

Updated On: Jan 13 2013 04:02:34 PM CST
A West Texas woman has been sentenced to a 1½-year prison term for relaying messages between her imprisoned father and gang members on the street.
April Cardoza pleaded guilty in October to racketeering conspiracy. The El Paso Times reports she was sentenced Friday.
The 24-year-old daughter of Manuel Cardoza was indicted in 2011 with 34 other Barrio Azteca gang members. Her father, whom prosecutors said was a gang captain, is doing life for racketeering, extortion and conspiracy.
Of those charged in the indictment, 10 were accused of killing two U.S. consulate officials in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in 2010.
April Cardoza was not accused in the killings. Of the others, 25 have pleaded guilty, one killed himself, another awaits trial and six await extradition from Mexico. Two are at large.

Holiday season. It's the time that helps us all determine whether we've been naughty or nice, and unfortunately if you've been committing any of the beauty sins below you just might end up with a piece of coal. Here's how to fix your naughty ways before it's too late (because Santa is not a fan of ragged cuticles or orangey bronzer. He told us… at the mall).
1. Skipping The Lotion
Cold winter winds combined with indoor heating result in majorly dry skin. If you're usually one to skimp on the lotion now it's time to mend your wicked ways. Avoid those pesky bumps and dry crackling elbows by slathering on the body lotion daily. It's best to apply soon after you're out of the shower, as that's when your skin will hold the most moisture.
Don't forget that pretty mug of yours either. Apply your serum—which penetrates down to the deeper layers of your skin—then layer on a thick, indulgent moisturizer morning and night.
MDC Recommends: The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter; Kiehl's Creme d'Elegance Repairateur
2. Forgetting your Cuticles
We don't mean to sound like moisturizing evangelists here, but hydrated skin is also key when it comes to your hands. Dry cuticles are likely to harden and form into those life-ending things we know as hangnails (how one little thing can hurt so much is beyond us). Keep yours hydrated by being ritualistic with your hand lotion or cuticle oil. This will also help you get more longevity out of your manicures (you are so resourceful).
MDC Recommends: Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil; La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand Hand Repair Cream
3. Over-Tweezing
When it comes to handling your own brows we really only have four words: put down the tweezers. Speaking from personal experience, we know just how easy it is to start casually tweezing and end up with spaghetti thin brows in thirty seconds. If you did happen to get a little tweezer-happy, think happy, brow-growing thoughts and use our guide on how to fill them in naturally in the meantime.
4. Biting Your Nails
We all have coping mechanisms when it comes to stress and anxiety (a couple of lip chewers and foot tappers over here, cough cough), but one of the worst is nail biting. Not only does it leave your hands looking gnawed, it's a surefire way to bring any germs that might be on your hands, directly into your mouth… yum. Ditch the habit by making your nails too pretty to pick at. Any manicure can do the trick, but we find gel manicures to be especially successful at inhibiting the habit since they're harder to pick off.
Here are a few of our favorite manicures to get you inspired: Holographic and Gray Manicure; Matte and Glossy Nails; Caviar-Encrusted Tips
5. Over-Bronzing
While we do not think you need to stash away the bronzer all winter, too much of the beloved product during colder months will make you look fake. Instead of an all over glow, apply your matte bronzer solely to contour and warm up your face. It's also wise to go easy on the sunless tanner during colder months. Consider a lighter option than you would in summer, so your faux glow is flattering without being overtly noticeable.
MDC Recommends: Urban Decay Baked Bronzer; L'Oréal Sublime Glow Daily Body Moisturizer + Natural Skin Tone Enhancer

I prefer using Argan Oil to keep my skin and hair hydrated. It works perfectly on your cuticles, dry elbows and feet and is amazing on your hair! Such a versatile oil. Absolutely love it!
Tasha xoxo
Glad to know I've been a good girl! I definitely apply Neutrogena Body Oil Light Sesame Formula before I dry off from a shower. Once that soaks in, I liberally apply Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion--it's the best and I love the scent. My skin stays soft and hydrated all year long! Also when I've reached my desired level of darkness with my self-tanner, I like to mix it with the cocoa butter, which helps cover that "self tanning scent. I never have a problem with streaking.

Service was amazing and the location was perfect. The resort is incredibly well kept but is showing its age. The two different pool locations was nice. The lazy river area for the whole day and the smaller pool was great for a quick dip. Food near the lazy river was fair if unspectacular.
Beds were a little too firm for us. They were nice beds but probably a 7-8 on a scale of 1-10 for firmness. The resort is showing its age on the exterior. However I appreci that it was very well kept.
Room was very fealty, towels not even white, they were brown, toilet with feces in the toilet seat, room furniture to old, and dirty, SPA room was fealty and a lot dust, the worse the women's bathrooms, has bloody ticks killed in the walls, we reported to the hotel manager, he didnt care, he asked us what we wanted to do, im very disappointed of the hotel condition and the unethical and unprofessionalism from the manager, I will not go back to this hotel, if you need more information please contact me and i will provide you with more details 219 250-1985
the pool area was awesome. food and drinks were good as well.
upon checking in, the guy at the front counter was beyond rude. For starters, he never once made eye contact with me. I had just gotten out of the car from driving through a rain and dust storm at 10:00pm when I asked "just wondering, since I am only here for 2 hours out of this day and wont be able to use the benefits of the resort charge, is there any way I could get a discount on that" and all he said was "nope" and continued to go through the check in process like he was trying to rush and get me out the door. I understand what its like having a bad day, but if youre in the customer service business then you better learn how to have that switch and still be courteous to your guests. That right there put a bad taste in my mouth from the start. Its a shame that a well known company doesnt have better employees.
Clean; very well trained staff knowledgeable and attentive; good location; very nice suite; good cosmetics and refreshments in room; Frigidaire in suite; well maintained pools; beautiful grounds; good parking; spa staff and ambiance.
Confusing days and hours of operating for the shops and smaller restaurants. Suite's living room furniture (couch and chair) could use some cleaning.
We loved the waterfall pool. Most of the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The pool waiters would walk by and not look at you or ask you if you wanted anything. One of the bartenders was not a pleasant person.
Comfort and plenty of options and choices in area surrounding location.
Rooms did not have microwaves for purpose of reheating leftovers...
Room was nice.
Bar service at the pool was non existent. Dining facilities were terrible, had to leave property for dinner.
The pools were great and the bed was comfy. Casita was a nice size for the 5 of us.
By the time Saturday came around everywhere was full of drinking adults and there was not any room for our children to swim. Not family friendly.
We likes the comfort of the room
We didn't like that the cabana bars closed so early and that there were always used food trays in the walkways outside room doors
Manny was terrific all staff we talked to or came in contact with at pool were fantastic. Thank you for making our stay for Father's Day amazing. We will be back. :D The Kiebert and Payne family
Room size, and pool facilities were great
Aging rooms and facilities
Other than the 4 roaches we saw on our way to the pool( in the evening) our stay was good. Did not care for the roaches.
noise from the courtyard pool
Tanner the bell boy was amazing!As well as the gentleman whwho valet parked our vehicle.
The attitude of the rest of the staff was as if we were inconveniencing them.
everything was beautiful
unfortunately the mattress was bad for our back
We loved the pool right outside our Casita, if we didn't want to battle for chairs or a spot at the waterpark, we could still enjoy swimming and relaxing in the sun!
The prices in the gift shops seemed a bit high, as did the soda machines outside. I think the staff could have been a bit friendlier to the guests, but overall it was great!
It was a great place for our 2 1/2 year old. The pools and lazy river were awesome. We stayed in a casita and really enjoyed it. The property is centrally located.
Two of the staff: Manny was great! and Joe was helpful too. Appreciated the transport to the recreation area. Comfortable bed, room with windows to both sides of bldg.
Didn't care for the on-site restaurant: limited choices, overly large room with few tables, across entrance & parking lot = not easy access. Staff at the pool/mini golf/etc. didn't tell us all that was available there & how we could make use of the area.
Nice facility, comfortable bed, grounds were nicely landscaped. Rico's was excellent lunch option, waitstaff very accommodating and friendly.
Minimal towels and glasses in the room. When calling front desk it was a long wait to get response. Also when trying to use the zip check out, after 2 attempts with no answer I had to use the Guest Hotline and they connected me to front desk to check out.
The location was very close to freeways
That even being Hilton Honors member we got charged for internet and it only worked in the front room in the bedroom (sleeping area } it was not working When i went to ask the front desk answer was that is how it is
The pools and the River Ranch are amazing!
The food prices and the extra charges.
The waterpark
That the hole in the wall was closed

The news today seems to be that Wikipedia have added nofollow to external links.
I have seen a lot of sites mention that all the search engines respect nofollow. Actually they don't. Anlaysis has shown that Yahoo certainly follow and index pages despite the nofollow tag.
Nofollow was introduced for untrusted links from blogs in particular to counteract blog comment spam. It wasn't effective.
Anti-spam that works
Various plugins for blogging platforms are wiping out spam on well managed blogs. Give Akismet, Spam Karma or one of the various CAPTCHA plugins for wordpress a try, and they will greatly reduce spam on wordpress, in fact almost emininate it altogether.
Wikipedia Links you can Trust
Wikipedia are now saying they can't trust the links they give to other people, yet their own high prominence in search engine results is determined by the amount other people, especially bloggers give to them.
Bloggers Have Linked to Wikipedia Millions of times
I would guess that a good half of the inbound links Wikipedia has are from bloggers, and yet that link juice love is not returned. You have to be notable to have a mention in Wikipedia, and we have all seen recently that you have to jump through hoops to be classed as notable.
Hoarding Link Equity
Websites will be linking to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia will not be allowing the link to flow back out. Link equity has to flow, otherwise search engines cannot based on their current algorithms judge relevance.
By hoarding links with no follow, this will have a huge effect on search results, maybe similar to some of the more notable Google algorithm updates.
By not passing on link equity to other sites, Wikipedia themselves become… irrelevant
Why link to Wikipedia with a followable link? They don't share the link equity back out
Alternative Technology
It would be easy for Wikipedia to have a system for evaluating whether a link it credible. It could almost be a Digg like system where every link has to be vetted and have more positive votes than negative.
Wow scrape Wikipedia and create… WikiDigg
Actually don't scrape Wikipedia, but implement a voting system for all links based around OpenID . In fact all editors of Wikipedia should use something like OpenID as well.
Anonymous Shills
Opps yep, most Wikipedia editors are anonymous… they won't like using OpenID
I would link to Wikipedia to explain what a shill is, but that would be unethical, because their sources of information would not be followed.
Stop Wasting Link Equity
Andy Beal today discussed not linking to Wikipedia any more with a followable link. I quite agree, link equity was designed to flow, that is why I also use a dofollow plugin, so people linking to me or commenting gain a backlink. No spammers get through… What are Wikipedia doing wrong?
The Damage to Search Results
This turns Wikipedia into a black hole of link equity and will have a massive effect on their search rankings because equity will be passed from one page to another internally.
It looks like Wikipedia Stubs will be more relevant now than pages containing real content.
No Follow is Unethical
Lots of the material on Wikipedia has been sourced from other locations as a reference. If the links to reference works are nofollow, how is Google to determine the original source?
Any credits within Wikipedia are now worthless. Is that legal? ethical?
NoFollow Plugin For WordPress?
It is hard work adding rel="nofollow" to all your links to Wikipedia.
Wouldn't it be easier to use a plugin? That way all your links to Wikipedia can be wiped out automatically.
If you want a plugin to convert all the links on your blog to Wikipedia, so that they include "nofollow", please voice your opinion by linking to this post, or leaving a comment.
I should note this is only a proposal, though it wouldn't take long to create the plugin. If you want it, let me know…

I live for bulk stores in general, but Costco is, as I said, my religion. There are always all of these random great finds there, from king crab legs to dried blueberries. You definitely need to have a big household or split with a friend. It is best to buy there when having a large party or purchase what you use on an ongoing basis. I buy things like paper towels,whole wheat pasta, olive oil, butter, Metamucil, Clorox wipes, organic juices, blocks of Parmesan etc. They have great produce, but it can go bad quickly. Some things you can buy and freeze.
I love doing public appearances. I have the most incredible, genuine fans. I always say "know your audience" and I know mine: honest, hard-working people who want to improve their lives every day.
The Costco event wasn't promoted at all, and my publisher really pushed me to do the event. Is it bad to say that I was secretly excited that it had a lame turnout? I was hormonal and exhausted, and I was thrilled to just shop.
Meeting Rosie really just served as much needed comic relief. I can't say that I garnered any earth shattering knowledge. However, my friend Jake and I were loopy and I really needed that laugh. Hormones, hormones, hormones!
I think that my drive has been partially to prove something to my father and partially because I know what it feels like to stress and scramble for money. I used to panic about my rent, have to scramble to pay for any and everything, and it was very scary.

Exclusive interview with Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney
Times-Standard: So why the Green Party and why now?
McKinney: Why now is the obvious one: Because of the condition of our country, the failure of the Democrats -- particularly now that they are in the majority -- to even live up to the expectations of their voters, I won't say their campaign promises, but I will certainly say the expectations of their voters.
Of course, I do believe that in November of 2006 the American people went to the polls and voted, and they voted for peace. We don't have peace yet. I do believe that a significant chunk of the American people would also like to see justice in this country. The Sean Bell verdict is an example of many examples that are possible. Of course, the Mumia (Abu-Jamal) verdict is another example that we don't yet have justice in this country.
I believe in November 2006 the American people went to the polls and they voted for respect for our constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights, and we don't yet have that either.
The American people expect health care, a single payer form of health care such as Medicare for all, and we don't have that either.
We desperately need a livable wage -- well, we haven't got that yet either. And, if the minimum wage had kept pace with CEO remuneration, according to United for a Fair Economy, the minimum wage would be $22 an hour. We don't have that yet either.
David Cobb: Peace candidate McKinney visits Humboldt
Ms. McKinney is a towering figure in the progressive community. She was the first African-American woman elected to Congress from Georgia, and served six terms before quitting the Democratic Party and joining the Green Party.
While in Congress, she introduced articles of impeachment against George Bush, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice. She has actively participated in international war crimes tribunals designed to bring the Bush-Cheney administration to justice. She also bucked the Democratic Party leadership and consistently voted against every regular and supplemental appropriation bill to fund the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
She co-sponsored legislation for universal health care, for a living wage, and for publicly funded elections. She voted to implement the Kyoto protocols to end global warming, to abolish the federal death penalty, to repeal NAFTA and to abolish the World Trade Organization.
The corporate media has refused to cover Cynthia McKinney's campaign for president. Perhaps it is because she has been such an outspoken voice for the people.

The strong, proud men and women of the ILWU have drawn a line in the sand. And I am proud of you!
By your actions here today, you too have declared your independence: from the policy makers now responsible for every bomb dropped, every child killed, every veteran maimed, every dream deferred.
Your line in the sand is a demand for public policy that reflects your values.

Cynthia's Statement on the Sean Bell Verdict
Cynthia McKinney
Statement on the Sean Bell Verdict
April 26, 2008
And with [its assertion about "no rights which the white man was bound to respect"], the United States Supreme Court ensured that the 20th Century would be defined, as W.E.B. DuBois wrote, by the color line. So, while we might be outraged at the Sean Bell decision itself, it comes directly from the flawed jurisprudence that gave us the Dred Scott Decision in 1857, Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, Bakke in 1978, Croson in 1989, Adarand in 1995, Gratz in 2003, and all of the Ward Connerly-inspired attacks on the very same affirmative action hard won by students facing water hoses and dogs; men and women facing jail, lynch mobs, and death.
Interestingly, according to Attorney Roger Wareham of the December 12th Movement's International Secretariat, the criminal justice system in this country "always finds a rationale for letting off cops who kill black and brown people." Indeed, police officers seem to know that they can kill certain people with impunity.

"There needs to be room for a lot of policy threads in American discourse. But the corporate media is not informing the people," Cynthia McKinney, the front-runner for the Green Party presidential nomination, told IPS during a rare 90-minute interview.
. . .
"The Green Party participated in the coalition that led in Germany and in Ireland and in the Kenyan Parliament," McKinney said. "The Green Party is international."
"We have a winner-take-all system in the U.S. that pushes conformity," she added. "Regressive ballot access laws in Georgia [and other states] prevent candidates from getting on the ballot."
"The Green Party is a political entity that deserves to be built," she said.
*This is the first of two articles about the U.S. Green Party and the 2008 elections.

So, apparently I'm not a horrible person after all.
I recently mentioned mise en place — the technique of prepping all your ingredients before you start cooking. It was only then that I realized that not only is that a thing with a name, I apparently was supposed to be doing it. Yikes.
Yes, the chefs on TV usually have their ingredients ready in pretty little bowls, but I figured that was because they have whole crews full of people to do their chopping for them. I certainly wasn't doing it. And I was afraid I was leading y'all astray.
But then I saw this article from this weekend's NY Times magazine (they post some of their stuff online early). Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't have the time or patience to chop and measure everything ahead of time. And I don't have to feel bad about it anymore. You shouldn't either. Phew.

> Try Grass-Fed Beef; It's Better for You and the Environment
While the term corn-fed traditionally connotes a certain wholesomeness, the ramifications of the practice are, in fact, somewhat darker.
The vast majority of American cattle today finish their lives away from pasture, confined to crowded feedlots and fed a steady diet of grain namely, corn.
While the term corn-fed traditionally connotes a certain wholesomeness, the ramifications of the practice are, in fact, somewhat darker.
As the writer Michael Pollan has pointed out, cattle evolved to eat grass, not grain. "A corn diet," he writes, "wreaks havoc on their digestive system, making it necessary to feed them antibiotics to stave off illness and infection."
Indeed, as readers of Eric Schlosser's best-seller, Fast Food Nation, are aware, the beef industry has become just that: Industry. Administered hormones, stuck in CAFOs and fattened on a steady diet of maize and antibiotic pabulum (often mixed with other things cattle didn't evolve to eat -- namely, other cattle), most livestock today live a life far removed from the bucolic idylls of yore.
Corn, too, has its dark side. For one thing, its heavily subsidized and, thus, grossly overproduced. For another, it demands vast doses of pesticides (more than any other food crop) as well as steady applications of nitrogen fertilizers, which in turn require large quantities of oil and natural gas to produce. Thus, as Pollan persuasively argues, weve managed to trade a wonderfully efficient solar-powered system of protein production for a hugely inefficient one largely dependent upon fossil fuels.
Bad for the environment, corn-fed beef is also bad for you. For starters, its higher in saturated fats than its pasture-raised counterpart. Add to that the aforementioned hormones and antibiotic residues not to mention the specter of E-coli bacteria and Mad Cow disease and you may be inclined to reconsider that burger on your plate.
Luckily, there is an alternative; that is, going back to old-fashioned beef. Although far from abundant, some small-scale ranchers are still finishing their cattle the traditional way at pasture.
The product may surprise you. Not only is it leaner, the flavor is also more complex. As with wine, grass-fed beef varies by region, rather than having the industrialized uniformity we've become accustomed to. And, while some argue that corn-fed beef has the better flavor, it's worth noting that the famed steaks of Argentina come from grass-fed cattle.
Spared of the necessity of antibiotics and pesticides, grass-fed beef is also friendlier to the environment. Ranchers in the grass-fed market tend to be keen stewards of the land, concerned with proper grazing techniques and the nurturing of native grasses. Indeed, many such ranchers think of themselves as grass farmers first, cattle ranchers second.
Not surprisingly, grass-fed beef is more expensive than the typical supermarket product. It's also seasonal, available only in the late spring or early summer. Still, the price and inconvenience are a small price to pay in comparison with the detrimental aspects of industrial meat. What's more, with a little planning i.e., by buying in bulk and freezing the meat in parcels grass-fed beef can be made both economical and available year-round.
If you can't find grass-fed beef, consider organic beef as a next best choice. While organically raised animals may still be confined in feeding operations and finished on grain rather than natural forage, they should at least be free of hormones, antibiotics and pesticides.
Of course, none of this is to suggest that you should be eating more beef. Rather, the point is simply that, by buying beef conscientiously, you can enjoy a fine steak and help steer modern agriculture in the right direction.

I was watching this video of Mike Tyson training and he was doing quarter squats and it got me thinking. Most say doing full range of motion squats is the best and not going all the way down won't work your hams, glutes, and hips as much. But when you think of it, boxers wouldn't need a full ROM because it is training more functionally what would mimic where he needs power. You would never see a boxer need to go ATG as there is no time in boxing when you are that deep in the hole. Using a shortened ROM would allow him to use more weight and develop more power in the range he needs it.
Anyone agree or disagree?

Hi all. Can the stems on kale be cooked and eaten, or are they always really tough and inedible?
They can be eaten, but they'll always be the toughest part of the plant. Most recipes remove them, though when I'm cooking just for myself, I often don't bother - my tolerance for toughness and chewiness is unusually high, it seems.
Braising kale for a long time as you would with collard greens leaves the stem tender enough that I'd bet most people would eat it without complaint. It seems to be more common to braise kale for something like 10-15 minutes and remove the stems though.
I recently had pickled kale stems at a restaurant. They were pretty good, so I put that in my mental "try this at home" file.
re: ttoommyy
That's what I do as well.
re: ttoommyy
What kind of pasta sauce??? curious!
re: twilight goddess
I sauteed diced pancetta with some hot pepper flakes then added chopped shallots and garlic. When they were sufficiently sweated I added the chopped kale and cooked until tender to the bite. Then I added some pasta water to make a bit of a sauce; tossed with the al dente pasta and some grated grana padano. It was delicious.
re: joonjoon
Plenty of people would still call that a braise, at least as far greens go.
I always 'do' Kale Brazilian style. That is, fold over the leave, slice out the stem, stack the folded leaves atop each other. Then tightly wrap them into a slender cylinder, much like rolling a cigar, then cutting them chiffonade-style 1/8" thick. In Brazil, there are big baskets of already chiffonaded kale for purchase at markets.
When chopping kale I will chop very fine when I get to the stems but use nearly the entire stem. I cook the leaves and stems together. When chopped fine the stems cook very quickly. The stems have great flavor and texture. They don't come out tough or stringy. Just chop them very thin.
There are so many greens recipes that call for removing the stems and cooking those first, so that one can actually chew them. Mostly for chard, which does have tastier stems, but if the kale is not too tough and old I'll see how they cook. It's not that much trouble, and if they turn up edible why not? Just more stuff to eat!
I always cook & eat. The only tough ones I've come across are in those supermarket mega-bags of pre-washed greens.

A dream came true for one lucky fan as Daniel Radcliffe put his arms around her and leaned in for a kiss.
The surprise smooch came on Saturday as the actor made an appearance at the British Film Institute's Movie-Con III festival where he presented a sneak preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
He also chatted to fans about the end of the series.
Admitting that he broke down when filming had completed, he described the emotional atmosphere at the end saying, "I've never seen Rupert Grint cry before; it was weird. It was like seeing your dad cry."

Perfect Photo Show 1.0
Fast setup and user-friendly GUI
The installation procedure is rapid and does not require special attention, since it comes packed with familiar options. When it comes to the interface, Perfect Photo Show adopts a regular window with an Explorer-based folder structure that allows you to easily select images for the slideshow while navigating directories.
Easily configure project options
It is possible to preview the images, add one or more selected files to the slideshow, change the slideshow aspect ratio, slide and transition duration, as well as to create a soundtrack by inserting MP3, OGG, WAV and WMA files.
Perfect Photo Show also integrates a few templates which are assigned to the project by default and can be removed. These include dissolve and mosaic transitions, skipping animation, as well as zooming in and out (the selected effects are randomly applied to the slideshow). The project can be either turned into an AVI file with SD or HD quality, or prepared for publishing on YouTube and uploaded, after specifying the quality level and account credentials.
Evaluation and conclusion
The tool takes reasonable time to compile a slideshow out of the selected images, while remaining light on system resources. Unfortunately, it crashed a couple of times in our tests when we attempted to preview the slideshow. Other than that, it did not hang or crash.
It does not include rich features for advanced users, but Perfect Photo Show offers approachable methods for quickly creating slideshows without configuring complicated settings, mostly addressing casual users.
