If you blog, you'll likely come across at least one content thief in the process. They'll take your articles (usually in full) and they'll publish them on their own sites so they can either monetize your work or use it to build their own false authority. As someone who makes a living from writing, I find content theft infuriating. I'm also the wrong person to steal from, because while many people won't bother pursuing the issue, I'll go after a thief and hit them where it hurts (and then hit them again).
My Recent Experience With Content Thieves
In the last week or two, I came across two content thieves stealing material from my PR blog -- NakedPR.com. Even though that blog is retired, it brings in a good amount of income, so I really don't need people swiping the content and dilluting what's offered there. In one case, a reader discovered the theft and reported it to me. In the other instance, it was a Google alert that turned up the stolen material.
One of the sites promptly removed my material on threat of further action. The other (MarketingTypo.com -- which apparently does nothing but aggregate full content, including comments, from other sites under the guise of "fair use") is still publishing my content illegally. They obviously don't understand the concept of fair use. That site has already been reported as per my steps below, and is awaiting review by search engines and advertisers.
These two situations weren't my first in dealing with thieves. In fact, I have the "deal with them" process down to a bit of an art -- quick, efficient, and highly successful. Not once have I had to waste my time suing someone over their theft in order to get what I wanted (but I wouldn't hesitate to do that -- being willing to go all out is key, because if you're not why should they bother doing as you ask when they know they'll ultimately get away with it?).
Today I want to share the pre-legal route I take when tackling content theft, so you can put it to use should you ever need to.
How to Discover Content Theft
Before we can get into taking on content thieves, you have to be able to identify the theft. I used to do this monthly. Sadly I've rarely done this over the last year or so, and it's tracking I need to get more aggressive about again in the future. Here are a few ways you can identify instances of theft:
- Set up a Google or Yahoo alert for your name. If they just copy / paste, your name might still be included as the author. Some thieves think that as long as they credit you, it's legal to steal and publish your work. It's not. A by-line does not replace permission.
- Set up a Google or Yahoo alert for your site's URL / domain. In this case, some people think that as long as they link to you it's okay to steal your content. Again, that's not true. Be careful though. These will return partial hits too (such as people just publishing short excerpts with a link -- which might indeed fall under fair use).
- Run title searches. When people copy your content, they often don't change the title. Search for some of your more popular posts and see if anyone's ripped them off.
You can certainly do more. These are just some ideas to get you started, and they'll turn up the bulk of directly-ripped content.
How to Deal With Content Thieves
Make sure you follow these steps in order. I'll explain why that's important at the end.
- Find the content thief's contact information. -- Sometimes this is available right on the site. Sometimes you have to dig for it. You might need to look up the Whois information for their domain name. If they didn't go with private registration you can find a name and / or company name, plus a phone number and email address there.
- Send the thief a 48-hour cease and desist notice. -- I find that 48 hours is more than adequate time to check your email and get my content off your site. If you're too generous in your time window, you come across as a pushover from the start. You need to be firm and have a "take no sh*t" approach during the entire process. This notice should provide your name, a note that you are the copyright holder of said content, and a mention of where the content was stolen from. Obviously, also tell them which content you're claiming is infringing on your rights. The person getting your email might not be the same person who published it. In this notice, reiterate that they do not have your permission to publish your content or any derivative work. In many cases, this notice will be enough to have the infringing content removed if you're firm enough. I like to forewarn them about what I'll do if they don't remove the content too. That seems to light a fire under some folks' asses (see below).
- Take note of their advertisers. -- Advertisers and ad networks generally don't want to be associated with content theft. They don't want to be used to monetize that stolen material. Track down all advertisers associated with the thief's site and contact them with the details of the original content and the infringing material. The thief almost always loses ad contracts. More importantly, they can be banned entirely from ad networks -- meaning not only would they lose Adsense (as an example) sitewide on the infringing site, but also on every other site they use it on. You just hit them where it hurts -- in the wallet. But hold on. It gets better.
- Report them to the major search engines. -- File DMCA notices with all of the major search engines if the infringing content is indexed (it usually is). You'll need to give them the URLs of all infringing material, as well as the URLs of your original material. The SEs will look into the claims, and when they find the infringement is indeed happening, that content will generally be de-indexed. Ouch. Now you hit what's likely a primary traffic source for that thief.
- Report them to their host. -- Only after you've done the two previous things should you send a DMCA notice to the thief's Web hosting company. That's because you need the infringing material to be live on the site still when the SEs and advertisers review your claims. Basically the idea here is to put their hosting account at risk -- even on the rare case where the content isn't removed by now, they probably don't want to lose their hosting account and have to move everything to another server because they violated the terms (not to mention the law). Are they hosted somewhere other than the US? Don't worry. Send a notice anyway. Some thieves think hiding in offshore accounts is enough to protect them. It's not. Many hosting companies worldwide still will put them on notice or ban their accounts for violating the company's own terms of use.
How to Find a Content Thief's Hosting Company
Not sure how to find a site's Web host? Sometimes this is difficult. However, the following tricks and resources will help you out in many cases:
- Visit DomainTools.com and conduct a WhoIs search.
- Towards the bottom of the WhoIs results, you'll see something called domain servers (nsX.hostname.com is the format). Look at the "hostname.com" part of it. Look up AllFreelanceWriting.com as an example, and you'll see ns29.hostgator.com and ns30.hostgator.com -- HostGator.com is the Web hosting company for this website. If you get the actual host, you can stop and contact them. No need to follow the other steps below.
- Sometimes the domain listed in the nameservers isn't the actual host. Let's use my little content thief MarketingTypo.com as an example. You'll see their nameservers are listed with DomainControl.com. Try to visit that site. Drat! Nothing comes up to tell you what host uses that domain for their name servers. Time to move on.
- Pull up your favorite search engine and search for "DomainControl.com" to learn more about it. You'll discover that it's used by GoDaddy.com. Oh goodie -- the Vietnamese thief is using a US host, which will make my life a wee bit easier later if they don't remove the content based on the SE and advertiser reports. (How do I know they're Vietnamese? Check their WhoIs record again.)
- If this still doesn't work, you can try the tool at WhoIsHostingThis.com. Try both AllFreelanceWriting.com and MarketingTypo.com. When you search for this site, you get The Planet as the probable host. But wait. Didn't I say I used HostGator.com? Yep. The Planet is HostGator's data center. In that case, the WhoIs lookup was a quicker route to the right answer. Now search for MarketingTypo.com and you'll see they give you GoDaddy as the hosting company right away. In that case, their tool would save you time, because you wouldn't have to look up who owns DomainControl.com from the nameserver information.
That's all there is to it! It sounds like a long process, but it's really not. Once you do it a few times you'll get the hang of it. Save your notices and requests as templates for future use, and the process will be a breeze.
Remember, it's one thing if you grant people permission to republish your material (such as through article marketing). But when you let people get away with stealing your work, as a writer you do yourself a real disservice. After all, if people know they can get away with stealing and republishing your writing for free, why on earth would they pay you to write anything new?
The only way to deter these kinds of thieves is to be strong and take them on as you find them. When they stop thinking all bloggers and writers are suckers who will just let them slide, then maybe the rate of theft will finally settle down. This is one of those situations where if you aren't a part of the solution, you really are a part of the much larger problem.

I've had my content lifted and my blog posts for my clients have been lifted. Sometimes the articles are taken off and sometimes they're not. You can report them to Google, but what will they do.
They'll de-index the stolen content (hitting the thief in a big traffic source which indirectly affects their income). It's always a worthwhile interim step.
Great information Jen. Here's a completely different route you could take! I actually came across this while doing research for a post on Noobpreneur.com. It's called Tynt. What's Tynt?
Say someone copies something from your site. When they paste it, whether it be in email or on a blog/site, it will automatically create a link back to your site. It will link to the original content. In their words…
"Each time a user copies content from your website and pastes into an email, blog or website, we automatically add a URL link back to your site's original content. When someone clicks that URL, they are directed back to your site and see the original content.
Read more: Tynt Insight » Why Tynt Insight? "
See what that just did? I copied and pasted it from their site. It can also auto-tweet your most popular content to an account of your choice.
These are great tips, Jenn! I had no idea what you could do. My problem with setting up a Google Alert with my name is that it's so blasted common! It just might crash my computer.
Do you routinely run your title searches or just when you suspect problems? Thanks again for the information.
This is truly helpful Jenn (why am I not surprised ) and there are things here I didn't know. I'll be able to do a better job of following through with these idiots now.
Hi I've been robbed by a man!!!!! He stole all my wording and images as well as the web design intent. I run a small Heating and Cooling business in Melbourne Australia. I hooked up with this guy for about a year as a subcontractor and when we parted ways he got a web design business to steel my site which I evolved over five years and have all my old design notes. You can see my site www.anchorageair.com.au and the forged site www.airpower.net.au
Please help me!! I don't know what to do to get him black listed and shut down…legally that is :-(( thanks in advance Russ from Melbourne Australia
Use this link http://www.copyscape.com to check if content is stolen .. very easy and save time
Hope this would help

|In human endothelial cells, immunohistochemically detectable CD143 is restricted with a few exceptions. The endothelial expression of CD143 is heterogeneous and strongest in arterioles and small muscular arteries whereas endothelial cells of large arteries and veins lack it most often completely. There are 2 further organ-specific exceptions which are remarkable. The normal capillary endothelial cells of the lung expressed CD143 strongly and homogeneously, while those of the normal human kidney are negative including all intraparenchymal vessels. CD143 is most prominent on endothelial cells detectable at the brush border epithelium of proximal renal tubules, at the brush borders of enterocytes in the small intestine and at microvilli structures of ductuli efferentia of the epididymis, neuronal cells, fibroblasts, activated macrophages. Kupfer cells, CD2+ T cells and immature chondrocytes. CD143 occurs on neuronal cells accentuated in the neuropile of basal ganglia such as nucleus caudatus, putamen, and pallidum, the substantia nigra, magnocellular hypothalamus, colliculi superior and inferior of brain stem and to a less extent, in thalamus and in substantia granulosum cerebelli. Leydig cells in testis and granulosa cells of ovary express somatic form of CD143. On other non-endothelial mesenchymal tissues CD143 might be found to a variable degree. They are found on fibrocytes/blasts of loose connective tissue and adventitia of vessels, on activated macrophages/histiocytes, CD11b/CD18+ cells, weak on Kupfer's cells in liver and on some T-lymphocytes. The germinal form of CD143 is exclusively found in differentiating germinal cells that is in round spermatides and spermatozoa. In human, high expression was found in kidney, heart, gastrointestinal system and prostate. A weak level of CD143 expression has been found in glandular epithelial cells of cutaneous adnexes, breast, salivary and adrenal glands, as well as very faint in the prostatic epithelium. In epithelial cells of choroid plexus and in ependym, CD143 expression seems to be age-dependent.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the metallopeptidase family.
CD143 is a single-pass type-1 glycoprotein. It contains 2 forms of the polypeptide, a 1306 aa human somatic form in a single polypeptide chain which has highly homologous internal N-terminal and C-terminal domains each with a catalytic site and contains 15 potential N-linked glycosylation sites and a 732 aa germinal testicular form that has a single catalytic site that corresponds to one C-terminal domains of the somatic form and has 7 potential potential N-linked glycosylation sites and a serine/threonine-rich region in the N-terminus which is O-glycosylated. Both forms are anchored in the plasma membrane and encoded by a hydrophobic transmembrane polypeptide but are transcribed from different promoters. The two domains of CD143 differ in conformation and immunological properties and in their affinity to bind several inhibitors. The solubel forms of CD143 are detected in plasma, urine, amniotic and cerebrospinal fluids and seminal plasma. The human CD143 gene spans 21 kb and comprises 26 exons. The somatic promoter located in the 5'-flanking region of the first exon and a promoter for germinal CD143 mRNA situated in intron 12.
Alternative splicing yields 2 different isoforms, a somatic form and a testicular form that are equally active. Somatic CD143 mRNA is transcribed from exon 1 to exon 26 and exon 13 is removed by splicing from the primary RNA transcript. The germinal CD143 mRNA is transcribed from exon 13 to 26.
Somatic CD143 contains a 17 potential N-linked glycosylation site. Germinal testicular CD143 has 7 potential N-linked glycosylation sites and contains a Ser/Thr-rich region at the extended CD143 N-terminus which is O-glycosylated. Both forms of CD143 have a N-terminal signal sequence for translocation of the ectoenzyme to the plasma membrane and which are absent in the mature proteins with 29 residues-somatic CD143 and 21-germinal. Besides being bound to the plasma membrane, CD143 also exists in soluble forms in plasma, urine, amniotic and cerebrospinal fluids and seminal plasma. The plasma CD143 is probably derived from vascular endothelial cells and lacks the carboxy terminus of CD143. The cleavage site is between Arg 1137 and Leu 1138.
CD143 binds angiotensin I and bradkinin. CD143 binds 2 zinc ions and 2 chloride ions per subunit. CD143 is a ligand for lung-specific delivery of substances of isotopes, drugs and genes conjugated with mAb to CD143, 9B9. CD143, ACE, is necessary for spermatozoa to bind to the egg. Spermatozoa cells not expressing CD143 bind in numbers 10 times less than normal. CD143 also appears to determine the success of the spermatozoa in penetrating the egg.
|CD143 is a zinc metallopeptidase that metabolizes angiotensin and bradykinin but also cleaves C-terminal dipeptides from various oligopeptides as well as various oligopeptides from substance P and LH-RH. CD143 encodes an enzyme involved in the conversion of angiotensin I into a physiologically active peptide angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor and aldosterone-stumlating peptide that controls blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte baclance. This enzyme plays a role in the renin-angiotensin system.
CD143 is an angiotensin converting enzyme which acts primarily as a peptidyl dipeptide hydrolase that is necessary for spermatozoa to bind to eggs and subsequent peneration and is involved in the metabolism of 2 major vaso-active peptides, angiotensin 2 and bradykinin. CD143 also cleaves C-terminal dipeptides from various oligopeptides with a free C-terminus and protected tripeptides from substance P and LH-RH.
CD143 plays an important role in blood pressure regulation and electrolyte balance by hydrolyzing angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a potent vasopressor and an aldosterone stimulating peptide. There is polymorphism in the CD143 gene, consisting of the insertion or deletion of 287 base pair DNA fragments in intron 16, an Alu repetitive sequence. The insertion/deletion polymorphism accounts for 20% of CD143 level variance in the blood and tissues among individuals. The highest CD143 activity was found in the individuals bearing deletion genotype, 70% as high as that of subjects with the insertion genotype. The deletion genotype is associated with myocardial infarction, strokes, diabetic nephropathy and other cardiovascular complications and CD143 activity and concentration are useful prognostic indicators. The fertility of homozygous male mice mutants with disrupted CD143 gene was greatly reduced, whereas all homozygous female mutants were fertile.
Somatic CD143 expression is regulated by glucocorticoids, thyroid hormones, and cAMP-related agents. The somatic CD143 promoter has 3 SP1 potential binding sites and 4 glucocorticoid-responsive elements. The level of germinal CD143 expression is known to be under the control of androgens and is increased dramatically at puberty. The germinal CD143 promoter has cAMP-responsive and steroid-responsive elements.
N- and C-domains of CD143 displayed a different substrate specificity. Rates of hydrolysis of Hip-His-Leu, angiotensin I, substance P and bradykinin by the C-domain of CD143 were 9, 3, 3 and 1.5 times higher than by the N-domain, respectively. Z-Phe-His-Leu was cleaved equally by both domains. N-Acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro, the hematopoietic peptide and LH-RH hydrolyzed 40 and 30 times faster by the N-domain of CD143 than by the C- domain.
ENZYMES WHICH MODIFY CD143: No information.
Studies and data show that the CD143 phenotype, activity or concentration, might be a more sensitive marker of various cardiovascular complications than the CD143 genotype. Studies of CD143 I/D polymorphism and beneficial therapeutic effect of CD143 inhibitors suggest that CD143 might be a new risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. The immunohistochemical staining of more than 2000 specimens of human tissues by a set of mAbs to CD143 showed prominent local changes of expression in pathology. In sudden cardiac death and vascularization of neoplasias, it has been found significant in an increase of endothelial CD143, whereas loss of endothelial CD143 has been noted in acute, non-specific inflammations. Strong CD143 over expression within the vascular wall has been detected already in the onset of atherosclerosis and may contribute to fibrogenesis during vascular remodeling.

ATLANTA – When the Final Four convened Saturday evening, it was oddly appropriate that it did so in the massive Georgia Dome, a 70,000-seat venue built for football.
The NCAA tournament dominates the sporting conversation each March, but as tradition-rich programs Louisville and Syracuse practiced Friday for their semifinal matchups against Wichita State and Michigan, respectively, people who have spent their entire lives in gymnasiums listening to the squeaking of sneakers are realizing they have very little say in their athletic futures.
This might be college basketball's one shining moment, but football drives college athletic departments while basketball has been a (sometimes unwilling) passenger during a period of upheaval that has lasted a decade – and shows no sign of stopping.
We would give you diplomatic answers, said Louisville coach Rick Pitino, whose program, in 2014, will compete in its third conference in the past 10 years. But inside, we're not happy about it.
Syracuse and Louisville represent the Big East, a league formed specifically for basketball. But both schools are headed to the ACC because each has a football program that conference officials believe can help deliver television ratings and, ultimately, more lucrative network contracts.
It is the same premise that is driving Maryland, which historically has a strong basketball program and a middling football program, out of the ACC in 2014, after the Big Ten came calling last year.
It's simple: The money you make from football is more than you can get from basketball, said former Maryland coach Gary Williams, who coached in the Big East, the Big Ten and the ACC. It's contracts. So I understand that part of it. That's led to every change in every conference.
Indeed, the NCAA signed a 14-year, $10.8 billion television contract with CBS and Turner Sports to broadcast the men's basketball tournament three years ago, but projections for a football playoff are much higher – easily topping $1 billion over eight years for just two semifinals and a final annually, according to analysis by Forbes.
But that dynamic can leave basketball people feeling as if they have no say. Williams remembers the first ACC expansion talks in 2003, when the league ultimately voted to bring Miami and Virginia Tech into the fold, followed by Boston College the next year.
Williams said John Swofford, the conference's commissioner, came into a meeting of the nine men's basketball coaches, which included some of the most powerful figures in the sport – Williams, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams, who had just arrived to coach North Carolina – and asked them to vote on the proposed expansion.
We voted nine-nothing not to expand, Williams said, and it never got to the athletic directors. The next morning, expansion took place.
The numbers would show that expansion hasn't helped the ACC's basketball profile. In the nine seasons since Miami and Virginia Tech – two supposed football powers – entered the ACC, the league has sent four teams to the Final Four. In the nine years prior to that expansion, it sent nine teams, including two schools in the same year twice. Meantime, its football teams haven't appeared in a BCS title game since expansion.
We had the best thing going, Williams said. And it's gone.
Those who care about college basketball say a this-was-inevitable attitude highlights problems with the sport's structure.
In 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA's control of what college football games aired on television violated antitrust laws. Since then, football conferences have negotiated their own deals with networks and bowls. The Southeastern Conference's current deal brings in $205 million annually, the Pac-12's $225 million.
The season-ending Bowl Championship Series has been a controversial means to determine a champion, but it has been inarguably lucrative. That brings an even starker contrast with basketball, in which the NCAA negotiates the postseason television deals. The NCAA awards national championships in 36 Division I sports but has no say over the highest level of football, which is essentially autonomous.
Friday afternoon, Pitino sounded wistful about the way it once was, noting that athletes from West Virginia, which joined the Big 12 last fall, must travel 800 miles to their closest league road game.
The one thing I will say that's different today than it was 10, 15 years ago – you'd get some B.S. answers from the administrators, Pitino said. Now, they are being very transparent in saying, It's about money.'
More precisely, it's about football money, a driving force of change that even reaches basketball's Final Four.
We don't like it, but we understand it, Pitino said. The one thing you can't do is complain about it. Sometimes, you have to move on.

Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) describe a country's macroeconomic, structural and social policies and programs to promote growth and reduce poverty, as well as associated external financing needs. PRSPs are prepared by governments through a participatory process that involves civil society and development partners, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers provide the basis for World Bank and IMF assistance as well as debt relief under the HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries) initiative. PRSPs should be country-driven, comprehensive, partnership-oriented, and participatory. A country only needs to write a PRSP every three years; however, changes can be made to the content of a PRSP using an Annual Progress Report.
Status of Poverty Reduction Strategy for Comoros
Comoros received approval for a grant from the Poverty Reduction Strategy Trust Fund for the period November 2001- 2003 to help prepare for an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy. This multi-donor trust fund is available to support activities in IDA-eligible countries which are at some stage of preparing or implementing a poverty reduction strategy. In addition, the fund supports activities that are intended to:
Generate the support of domestic stakeholders and external partners
Play a critical role in the successful development and implementation of the PRSP.
As of March 2004, the government of Comoros had not yet presented an interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper.

JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- Jim Harbaugh has used the recent run of suspensions on the division rival Seattle Seahawks for performance-enhancing drug infractions as a reminder to his own San Francisco team: Cheating won't be tolerated.
Harbaugh's reigning NFC champion 49ers had begun their three-day minicamp Tuesday when the coach was asked about the issue surrounding the Seahawks.
"Is it a concern? I've definitely noticed it," Harbaugh said of the Seahawks. "You don't know what it is. Even when people say what it is, you don't know that that's what it is. I've heard this thrown out or that, but that's usually the agents or the players themselves saying it's, for example, Adderall. But the NFL doesn't release what it actually is, so you have no idea. You're taking somebody at their word that I don't know if you can take them at their word, understanding the circumstances."
Seattle defensive end Bruce Irvin was suspended last month for using a banned substance. A first-round draft pick last year, he will miss the first four games of the regular season -- including a Week 2 matchup with the two-time defending NFC West champion Niners in Seattle on Sept. 15. Irvin became the fifth Seahawks player on the 53-man roster since 2011 to be suspended for using a performance-enhancing substance. The others were John Moffitt, Allen Barbre, Winston Guy and Brandon Browner.
A sixth player, cornerback Richard Sherman, had his suspension overturned on appeal.
Harbaugh said he has made it clear to his players that he won't accept breaking the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs for a perceived edge.
"It has no place in an athlete's body. Play by the rules," Harbaugh said. "You always want to be above reproach, especially when you're good, because you don't want people to come back and say, 'They're winning because they're cheating.' That's always going to be a knee-jerk reaction in my experience, ever since I was a little kid. We want to be above reproach in everything and do everything by the rules. Because if you don't, if you cheat to win, then you've already lost, according to Bo Schembechler. And (the late Michigan coach) Bo Schembechler is about next to the word of God as you can get in my mind. It's not the word of God, but it's close."
Asked Tuesday about Harbaugh's mention of the Seahawks suspensions, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said: "We've kind of dealt with this to set into motion a really clear mindset to take care of business and treat this situation that is around the league very seriously. I don't know about commenting about anybody else's team, but as far as we're concerned we feel like we've addressed it directly."
On the field, the 49ers are spending additional time this offseason on red zone work given their failure to execute on multiple chances in the waning moments of a 34-31 Super Bowl loss to the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick missed three chances from the 5, throwing three straight incomplete passes intended for Michael Crabtree, who got tangled up with a defender on the final play but no holding was called -- Harbaugh screamed from the sideline and signaled for a penalty. Kaepernick's off-balance throw under pressure on fourth down sailed through the end zone.
"We're definitely looking for a little bit more as far as execution goes," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "There's a lot of different things we need to improve in, and red zone being one of them, but not at the exclusion of everything else trying to get better at one thing. There's definitely some extra emphasis. Coach has scripted that in the practices. It's a careful balance."
Roman said he soon will sit down for a lengthy meeting with new senior offensive consultant Eric Mangini, who was hired last week.
"In the next week probably we're going to sit down, just lock ourselves in the room and really look to the future a bit," Roman said.
Roman is happy to be on the field -- and in the meeting room -- at all.
He acknowledged he was lucky not to be seriously hurt when a tree fell in a San Jose park where he was on June 1 for some lawn bowling.
"Well, I was standing this way looking this way and my wife was bowling. And then the tree started to fall," Roman said. "I turned and I saw somebody and I went to take a step to grab them, and then the tree was halfway down. So, I just full sprinted it. I got crushed by it. But, thankfully from my perspective at least, I didn't take the brunt of the trunk. So, very lucky. Very fortunate."

text: Bibi Tells Obama to Stick It Print article Send a Tip by Ben Shapiro 5 Mar 2012 post a comment Today, President Obama met with Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu. Obama immediately launched into his rote AIPAC stump speech from yesterday, in which he told Netanyahu that the United States "has Israel's back." But apparently, the Obama Administration has Israel's back … to stab it. How else to explain President Obama's continued strident demand that Israel not attack Iran, and instead allow the ineffective sanctions to do their ineffective job? Netanyahu fired back, stating, "Israel must reserve the right to defend itself and after all, that's the very purpose of the Jewish state, to restore to the Jewish people control of our destiny." From a president who claims to be anti-colonialist, and who pretends to want to avoid telling other countries what to do, Obama's arrogance here is breathtaking. If he truly had Israel's back, he wouldn't be dictating terms to it, telling it to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders with "mutually agreed swaps," or suggesting that it not defend itself. American-Israeli relations are currently at an all-time low point – or at least at their lowest point since 1967, when President Johnson undercut Israel's momentum during the Six-Day War. In some ways, this is far worse – at least LBJ waited until Israel had moved into victory mode when LBJ put on the brakes, whereas now, Obama is attempting to prevent Israel from even defending herself. So, will Israel strike? Obama's stance has made it almost impossible for them not to. It's clear that America won't back a strike or do anything more than the sanctions, which means Israel must go it alone – unless Israel strikes now, and hopes that Obama is leveraged by pro-Israel Americans into truly having Israel's back. Meanwhile, Iran will keep escalating, knowing that Obama may not win re-election – which would mean that Israel would have an ally in the White House. The stage is set for war. Soon enough we will find whether Obama truly "has Israel's back." ON BREITBART TV Bibi To Barack: We 'Reserve The Right' To Strike

The only thing that kind of concerns me after watching that is how easy it looked. The fact that you can pretty much head jump a group of 10 zombies and then just throw a flare or set of traps every 10 seconds seems to remove a lot of the threat, and therefore the tension. The best zombie games need to make you at least somewhat vulnerable, but this guy moves like a superhero. Did he even take damage during that whole video?
Let's hope this was just easy mode, and on hard you will have a lot fewer resources or something.

Academy-approved leadership
Dr. Jeff Rossmann,
Time spent teaching, maintaining private practice help earn Rossmann six-year term on American Board of Periodontology
It's been 16 years since Dr. Jeff Rossmann started teaching as a part-time faculty member at Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry, but he has maintained his private practice continuously. Even since becoming chair of the Department of Periodontics two years ago, he continues to see patients at his Carrollton-based practice — North Texas Periodontics and Implantology — where he is in-office one day each week. It makes for a full workload, but Rossmann's dedication to his practice and specialty has garnered him stature with peers nationwide, earning him one of 10 director slots on the American Board of Periodontology.
"That was a strong point because the vast majority of members are in private practice," Rossmann says. "The mindset is to not nominate someone to the board who solely has been in academics." On the other hand, he adds, "Some knowledge of training programs also is needed."
Rossmann, who has served as a board examiner since 2007, had the right mix of academic program knowledge and private practice experience to gain the confidence of the American Academy of Periodontology voting members, securing his initial nomination. After being interviewed and eventually elected as a director, Rossmann is set to begin his six-year term on Nov. 13 during the academy's annual meeting in Miami Beach, Fla.
Rossmann will serve on an education committee and function as a liaison between the academy and board. Appointing board examiners is another duty. As a director, he will formulate new questions for written board exams and new cases for the oral exams — not that different from what he already does at TAMHSC-BCD.
"A lot of that goes hand in hand with what I do with the graduate program," says Rossmann, who, along with other faculty members, helps prepare residents to challenge the board after graduation.
"While you're not teaching residents the exam, you're putting them in situations similar to what they will experience," he says.
As Rossmann looks forward to his new responsibilities, he expects the directorship to augment his current role at the dental school. For instance, serving on the education committee will give him knowledge of the latest developments in periodontic training programs. He's also looking forward to forging relationships with other directors and board examiners, which may create potential for the college to participate in additional multi-centered studies and clinical research opportunities.
It is likely Rossmann will have a full schedule in the months to come, considering he will spend four days a week at TAMHSC-BCD, Thursdays at his private practice and three weeks a year fulfilling board director duties.
"I think this will complete any 'gaps' I thought were there," Rossmann jokes of his evolving work week.

Singularity Weblog started as a personal journal of thoughts on trends, news, issues, films and people related the technological singularity. However, due to the active involvement of readers like you, it is evolving into a growing community of people interested in exploring and shaping our future.
The blog is not meant to provide definitive answers, but rather, to ask the tough questions in an attempt to generate discussion, provoke thought and stir the imagination. It aims to spark a conversation about the impact of technology, exponential growth and artificial intelligence where everyone's opinions and participation are greatly encouraged.
Here Socrates will not shy to provide his opinion but will place no claim on its superiority. His goal is to get you actively involved in the ever-evolving conversation about the future of humanity.
Thus, this blog's value may be not so much in the answers it provides, but in the questions it raises — the kind that everybody could or should be asking.
In addition, Singularity Weblog will also:
- Publish relevant articles by Socrates and his friends.
- Post interviews with the best scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, film-makers, journalists, philosophers and artists.
- Bring attention to relevant news stories, films, media and scientific developments.
- Provide an online discussion forum where you can start a conversation on issues important to you.
- Give you a platform to write and share your own great content.
Welcome friend!
Together we can create a better future, better you!
Who is Socrates?
Did you ever wish that you could start doing what you love to do all the time and every day? Are you willing to ask the tough questions, no matter what the cost may be? Are you absolutely in love with learning?
Well, this is more or less what Socrates of Athens did 2,500 years ago. This is also what this modern day Socrates decided to do in starting www.SingularityWeblog.com
I have decided to focus on learning while using the tools a contemporary Socrates could use to follow his calling: blogging and podcasting.
I am Nikola and this is my journey to discover who I am as a being, who we are as a species and most of all how does technology change the meaning of both the above questions and answers.
Who is Nikola Danaylov?
Public speaker, philosopher, infopreneur, blogger and popular podcast host, Nikola Danaylov was born in Bulgaria.
In 1998 Nikola moved to Canada where he completed an HBA in Political Science, Philosophy & Economics at the University of Toronto followed by an MA in Political Science at York University.
It was at YorkU that Nikola became deeply interested in the Technological Singularity and wrote "Hacking Destiny: Critical Security at the Intersection of Human and Machine Intelligence."
In 2011 Nikola went to NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California and completed the Graduate Studies Program at Singularity University.
For the past 5 years Nikola has published and edited over 800 articles and conducted more than 160 interviews with the world's best known experts. He has spoken at public events on topics ranging from technology, transhumanism and the technological singularity to new media, blogging and podcasting. Nikola has been profiled in Next Stage Rising Stars Magazine and has been interviewed himself for numerous documentary films, blogs, podcasts, magazines and newspapers. His own Singularity 1 on 1 interviews have had over 2 million views on iTunes and YouTube and have been featured on international TV networks as well as some of the biggest blogs in the world, such as BBC, TV Japan, io9, ZDNet, BoingBoing and others.
Today Singularity Weblog is the biggest independent blog on related topics. The Singularity 1 on 1 podcast is the most popular and widely recognized interview series in the niche and, according to Prof. Roman Yampolskiy, Nikola has established himself as the "Larry King of the Singularity."
Nikola's home is in Toronto, Canada where he lives with his beloved wife Julie. [To find more about Nikola Danaylov check out his page of personal interviews – coming soon.]

Turkey basketball head elected president of FIBA Europe
Saturday, May 17, 2014
MUNICH, Germany - Turkish Basketball Federation President Turgay Demirel was elected Saturday as the new president of FIBA Europe, becoming the first Turk to hold the post.
Representatives of the International Basketball Federation's Europe branch casted their votes in FIBA General Assembly in Munich to elect the new president. Demirel garnered 40 of the 51 votes, defeating the other candidate, Macedonian Basketball Federation President Daniel Dimevski.
Demirel will serve a four-year term from 2014 to 2018.
"This is a great honour, and I want to thank the countries of FIBA Europe for putting their trust in me," Demirel said from Turkish Basketball Federation's Twitter account.
"I am excited to work with my colleagues throughout Europe to grow the greatest sport in the world," he said.
Turgay Demirel's professional basketball career spanned 16 years, most of which he spent with Galatasaray. He retired as Galatasaray's captain in 1988.
In 1992, he became the first elected president of the Turkish Basketball Federation, a position he has held for six terms.
He also has played an active role in the governance of European and international basketball, serving as Vice President of FIBA Europe from 2006 to 2010.

Ok I'm getting pretty frustrated because I can't seem to catch up on reading all the blogs I follow! It's like, I manage to read 60 of them one day before I tire and then don't ready for another 2 days and find I have 100+ new posts. Yikes!! Anyone else have this problem?! No idea how people get time to write multiple posts in a day. :/ I also should stop going down my blog reel in alphabetical order because blogs started with S through Z fail to get any love from me >.< Anyways moving on...
The Born Pretty Store sent me something to review...feathers!
|Born Pretty Store nail art feathers
I was really nervous about using these, which is probably why I'm so late with this review (sorry!), but I think what I did came out pretty cute so I hope that makes up for it! The feathers come in packaging like you see above and the way you use them is by placing them over wet clear polish, snipping off the excess, and then sealing it in with a really thick topcoat (or two). To cut off the excess, I found a cuticle trimmer most useful because you can get a really good angle to cut. I also used 1 coat of Gelous and 1 coat of Seche Vite top coat to get a completely smooth surface, worked like a charm!
It did take a few tries to get this to work right for me. First of all, I wasn't sure what base color to use. First I tried black, bad idea since it didn't contrast with the feathers (dumb ol' me!). Second, I tried with a nude and stuck the feather while the colored base was wet but then the nude polish leaked all over on top of the feather and looked really sloppy. Third time I was frustrated and just grabbed white polish because it was closest to me and I just wanted to be done. On top of that I used a clear polish to stick the feather on. I'm very happy with the result.

How handsome are you mister owl?!!! <3 I used the cutepolish tutorial to paint him. Check it out, it's super easy! And the white glitter is Windestine Asbestos.
Where to buy
- Nail art feathers can be found at the Born Pretty Store for less than 2 bucks per pack, and free shipping worldwide! And you can use my code PDL91 for 10% off your purchase.
- Windestine polish I bought from their etsy store. Took me the longest time because they kept selling out!
What do you think about using feathers for nail art? At first I thought it was kind of ridiculous (I mean, sticking feathers on your nails what!)...but it looks pretty cool, especially for the artistically challenged like myself. Bye!

Interview with Ophelia Benson
By MAIA CARON
Added: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 UTC
Thanks to Michael for the link.
MAIA: Welcome Ophelia. First, Iâd like to say that I loved Does God Hate Women? and agree with Nick Cohenâs comment that it is âAt once a joy to read and a call to arms.â With straight forward logic, you and Jeremy Stangroom take apart the arguments of religious apologists and expose their ignorance at a foundational level, even though, as you write, itâs considered that, âReligious law is âsacredâ law….and thus fixed, peremptory and inviolate.â
In your book, you say that â… religion has for millennia helped the stronger to go on dominating the weaker.â You also write, âThe control of women is dual. The goal is to deny access to womanâs genitals to all men in the world minus one and to guarantee access to oneâ and âMost people who have grown up in liberal secular societies fail to realize how taken for granted it is elsewhere that girls and women have no rights over their own genitals or their own lives.â And âItâs impossible not to notice what a convenient theology this is, for the men who originated it and the ones who perpetuate and preach and enforce it. Itâs impossible not to think that God and the Prophet are simply a fig leaf for a naked and brazen system of sexual slavery.â Because religion is âman-madeâ is it simply a proxy for men to enforce their will over women?
OPHELIA: Religion isnât simply that, because religion is a lot of things. But are religious rules governing women and their bodies and their sex lives that? Broadly speaking, yes. Mind you, I donât think itâs as simple as men sitting down and thinking, âNow whatâs the best way to guarantee each man exclusive access to at least one woman? I know – pretend itâs what God wants.â I think itâs more like projection. âThere is a way things should be; this includes women belonging to men and not being allowed to roam off whenever they feel like it, and it also includes men being in charge and women being submissive. Because that is how things should be, naturally it is how God wants them to be.â There is no need to think of it as a conscious trick – on the other hand I think it is reasonable to think of it as a large failure of imagination. Itâs taken humans a remarkably long time to realize that treating some people as radically inferior is really neither necessary nor desirable.

NAPLES, Fla - A big development to a controversial move affecting Southwest Florida classrooms. Governor Rick Scott, R- Florida, announced Florida will not give an end of the year test to students as part of the Common Core State Standards.
The governor said he wants to make sure there isn't any federal intrusion in our education system. Parents tell WINK News the major decision is a step in the right director.
"It really removes control from the school district, it removes control from the teachers and from ultimately the parents over what is being taught to our children," says David Caswell, a father of two.
Florida adopted the system in 2010 and started implementing it in Kindergarten classrooms the following year. Governor Scott has been under scrutiny ever since.
"I'm very happy that at least there's been some progress today," says Caswell.
Happy because Monday, the governor called for public hearings and possible changes to the Common Core Standards.
"Give them a set of standards they can work with that are not too strict and stringent that don't allow them the freedom to teach each individual child at their level," says Erika Donalds, a mother of three.
Right now, the new standards focus on english, math, reading and using those skills to solve real world problems. The big concern for some parents is that teachers will have less control in the classroom because they're forced to teach a certain curriculum.
In May, a representative from the Florida Department of Education addressed those concerns saying Common Core will put kids across the country on the same learning path.
"I think they'll be pleased with what they see," says Mary Tappen.
But parents argue teachers should adjust their lessons based on each student, not a national standard.
"I would hope Florida would try to be the best instead of the same as everyone else," says Donalds.

Online Retailers Preparing for Promotion-Heavy Holiday Season,
According to Shop.org eHoliday Survey
-More than Half Plan to Start Holiday Marketing Promotions by Halloween-
Washington, October 24, 2011 – Online retailers have plenty to be joyous about this holiday season as new research shows companies are adjusting their holiday plans based on expected growth and strong demand from holiday shoppers.
According to Shop.org's eHoliday survey conducted by BIGresearch, nearly seven in 10 (68.0%) retailers say they expect their company's online sales to grow at least 15 percent or more compared to last holiday season, up from the 63.8 percent who had those expectations last year.
The survey is supported by new data from the National Retail Federation, which found the average shopper plans to do about 36.0 percent of their holiday shopping online, up from 32.7 percent last year.
One of consumers' most anticipated and favorite holiday promotions, free shipping offers will be hard to miss this holiday season as nine in 10 online retailers (92.5%) say they plan on offering the service at some point, up from 84.8 percent in 2010.
Eager shoppers can also expect these offers to start soon, as nearly one-third (31.4%) of those surveyed say their free shipping offers would start earlier in the season compared to last year. Additionally, 56.3 percent say their budget for free shipping promotions specifically is somewhat or significantly higher than last year.
"There's no question consumers are eager to hit the Web this holiday season, and online retailers are prepping by optimizing their sites, beginning their marketing and promotions early, and planning plenty of free shipping promotions as they aim to provide value and convenience for their shoppers," said Shop.org head of research Fiona Swerdlow.
"Online retailers will also leverage their social media and mobile platforms for savvy shoppers on the go, knowing how important customer reviews and comparison shopping applications are to holiday shoppers."
Like their store counterparts, online merchants say they will begin promoting the holiday season earlier this year. The survey found more than half (52.9%) plan to start their online holiday marketing and promotions by Halloween, up from the 40 percent who planned to do so last year. Another 37.2 percent will begin marketing by mid-November.
When it comes to online retailers' holiday season priorities, many have already invested in new technologies and site and service features. More than half (51.0%) said they have significantly invested in mobile-optimized websites and 19.6 percent have invested in tablet device apps.
Additionally, 35.3 percent said they have significantly invested in QR codes in offline advertising, such as magazine ads and billboards. Of those who regularly use social media platforms, nearly three-quarters say they have already invested in their Facebook (72.5%) and Twitter (41.2%) accounts in advance of the holidays.
"Consumers today are far from one-track minded when it comes to finding holiday gifts," said Pam Goodfellow, Consumer Insights Director, BIGresearch. "These days, most people want to shop around all season long, using their smartphones to scan items in stores and compare prices, retailers' websites to find store locations to scope out gift ideas, and tablets or laptops to shop from the convenience of their home."
When asked why they plan to spend more online this holiday season, four in 10 shoppers (43.2%) said 24-hour convenience is a main consideration. More shoppers this year are also interested in shopping online as a direct result of free shipping offers – 36.3 percent will spend more online this year if shipping comes free. Other reasons include their lack of desire to fight crowds in the stores (37.2%) and the ease of comparing prices (29.6%).
Consumers will get information about retailers' sales and promotions from a variety of channels. The survey found nearly three in 10 (29.2%) will check out a company's Facebook page for more information and about two-thirds (65.1%) will read customer reviews on the company's website.
