American Birds 2008-2009, Summary of the 109th Christmas Bird Count
Inclement weather once again played a major factor during the official count period, shaping the overall results of the 109th CBC season. Despite those challenges, and in part due to a continuing CBC presence in Latin America, another record high number of counts was included--2124. And for the first time, a CBC was conducted in Antarctica, adding birds of a new continent to the cumulative database. In addition to overall and regional CBC summaries, feature articles in this season's American Birds include: the documentation of range-shifting of birds across North America and likely effects of climate change; the amazing 400-count (and climbing!) record of an incredibly dedicated compiler and participant (Paul W. Sykes, Jr.); the history of the CBC in New York City's Central Park; a feature on the first count in Antarctica; and 100 years of Christmas Bird Counts in London, Ontario.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] CZECH REPUBLIC - Employers reject pension reform proposed by Czech government

Prague - Representatives of the employers today rejected the pension
reform draft proposed by the Czech government at a meeting of the
tripartite that includes also trade unions.
"We do not challenge the need of a pension reform but we do not trust the
commercial pillar in this stage," Czech Industry Confederation head
Jaroslav Hanak said on behalf of the employers.
Hanak said changes in the state pillar of the pension system should be
made first of all. An analysis of the demographic development should be
worked out, he added.
The coalition government of Petr Necas (Civic Democrats, ODS) has proposed
the introduction of the commercial pillar, or private pension schemes.
While pension insurance within the state pay-as-you-go pillar is
compulsory, the pension savings in the private funds should be voluntary.
The unions said earlier this week that the draft tax and pension reforms
should be changed and that the government should withdraw the planned
welfare and healthcare reforms.
Representatives of the government said today changes may be made in the
welfare reform draft.
The tripartite declared today that it would cooperate on the reform steps
taken in the social sphere. They have reached this agreement after the
unions left the talks in protest last week.
The government, employers and unions want to agree on the welfare reforms
by mid-June so that the bills can be submitted to the Chamber of Deputies.
The government approved the first part of the welfare reform, comprising
three bills, on Wednesday. But the unions and the Association of Towns and
Municipalities oppose these bills because they say services would be made
less available to citizens and thousands of jobs may be threatened.
The tripartite plans to discuss also the tax reform at its next meetings.

Health Science Center to Sell Works by Acclaimed Artist
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center's Physiology Department will soon benefit from the sale of 40 works by deceased local artist Paul Penczner. The works of art will be on display at the Memphis Botanic Garden throughout November.
Penczner's widow, Jolanda Penczner, donated more than 400 pieces of her husband's to the university last spring. Those pieces will become available in subsequent sales.
In the meantime, UTHSC is hosting a reception at the garden on Nov. 8. Two-hundred guests are expected.
From the 1950s onward, Penczner showed his work in more than 70 exhibitions nationwide, including the Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His 1989 series of pen-and-ink drawings, "Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles," is in the Vatican Museum of Art in Rome and was accepted by Pope John Paul II.
Another significant piece by Penczner is the painting "American Starry Night," which he donated to President George W. Bush on the first anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It remains part of the White House Collection.

Hoffman Wins, Boxers Third At NCWA Nationals
03/17/2009 -
HAMPTON, Va. - Rebecca Hoffman (So., La Mirada, Calif.) earned her first national championship Saturday, winning the unlimited weight class and leading the Boxers to a third place finish at the National Collegiate Wrestling Association Women's Championships at the Convocation Center Arena.
Hoffman captured the unlimited championship with a first round fall over Mercer's Erin Patterson. She is the first Pacific athlete to earn a national title since the Boxers joined the NCWA in 2007.
Hoffman's title led a small, but effective, Pacific team to a third place finish with 35.5 points. Yakima Valley claimed the national title with 73 points. Simon Fraser was second with 57.5 points.
All four competing Pacific wrestlers earned All-American distinction. Caronne Roset (Fr., Pukalani, Hawaii) finished second in the 121-pound weight class, losing in the championship final to Simon Fraser's Laura Wilson in a 19-3 technical fall. Roset finished going 1-2 in her bracket.
Summer Scott (Sr., Castro Valley, Calif.) and Summer Steenberg (So., Kent, Wash.) finished second and third in the 130-pound weight class. Scott was a winner over Steenberg, 6-0, in the third session and lost a close 6-5 decision to Yakima Valley's Ashlee Phy in the final. Steenberg won the consolation final, scoring a first round pin over Auburn's Audra Creech.

Breakfast Topic: Does the guild recruitment channel work? {WoW}
Apr 8th 2009 10:57AM You left off a fifth way to recruit. Do PUG heroics/10 man raids and invite players who do well. We've gotten many of our players that way. They can see that our guild is good from how our player(s) in the PUG do and we know they are good as well.
3.1 patch notes updated (continued) {WoW}
Mar 27th 2009 7:25PM Why do you care whether friendly players deselect you when you shadowmeld? How does this change affect anything useful?
Breakfast Topic: What is WoW's biggest mistake? {WoW}
Mar 25th 2009 2:40PM Bikhai, that may be what Blizz is saying but the question is what was their biggest mistake. And a mistake is for a while they have made it so warriors and priests can be competitive with mages and warlocks on DPS. While mages and warlocks can not compete as tanks or healers. They can't even get within 5% of a priest/warrior in healing/tanking. And when they do they get nerfed (see voidwalker).
GC has been saying they're fixing their mistake and I hope they do but it was still a mistake to take away specialization for the tanking and healing roles IMHO.
Breakfast Topic: What is WoW's biggest mistake? {WoW}
Mar 25th 2009 10:07AM Two biggest mistakes:
1) Totally breaking PVP. Arenas are boring but I know some people enjoy them. Which is fine. Just not sure why they are forcing everyone who wants to do PVP to do arenas. It's hard for me to get excited about doing BGs to earn blue gear to replace my T7.5 gear...
2) Everyone can DPS. I'm tired of seeing warriors and priests DPSing. Druids, pallies, and shamans were supposed to be the hybrids. Why are priests and warriors now hybrids who can tank/heal and DPS as well as anyone else? And why can't mages and warlocks tank or heal if everyone can DPS? Why should rogues be stuck with one role but warriors can have two?
Wowhead goes to War(hammer) {WoW}
Mar 25th 2009 12:26AM And now WotLK has been out for a while and many people are getting bored waiting for 3.1. I can see this being a good time to try and hook WoW players. Especially with how badly they've messed up PvP in WoW.
Warlock tanks Patchwerk {WoW}
Mar 17th 2009 12:07PM I'd hate to see a nerf and didn't like the voidwalker nerf. I don't get why it's even something we have to think about. Warriors can DPS why shouldn't Warlocks be able to tank?
Emblems to be easier to loot in 3.1 {WoW}
Mar 15th 2009 8:42PM Awesome change! After downing heroic 4 horsemen last night we were cursing the loot chests and saying we would quit WoW if they put any of them in Ulduar. What a huge nuisance to have to wait for 25 people to loot a chest one at a time.
Why too many currencies actually helps progression {WoW}
Mar 6th 2009 12:52PM The problem I have is that there is no longer any reason to run heroics or 10 man raids. I went through the badge gear so fast there's no reason to even bother with them. Now they just pile up. I liked the old system better where new badge gear would come out and you could upgrade your stuff rather than hit a brick wall and now all that I can run to possibly get improved gear is H Naxx and maly.
WoW Moviewatch: Britney Spears - Piece of Me {WoW}
Mar 5th 2009 12:39PM You prolly saw this video about 7 months ago when Wowinsider Moviewatch last posted about it.
Account security is your responsibility, not Blizzard's {WoW}
Feb 27th 2009 3:52PM One of the officers in our guild just got his account hacked. Yeah, he was dumb. But the hacker completely cleared our guild bank out. Does Blizz typically do anything to help guilds that this happens to or are we just out of luck?

Aug 1, 2014 10:37 AM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Crews have begun removing cars trapped by flooding from a broken water line on the University of California, Los Angeles campus.
Repair crews are shoring up a giant hole in the middle of Sunset Boulevard caused by a ruptured pipe, as officials at UCLA continue to assess damage from the 20 million gallons that inundated the campus.
Los Angeles Department of Water and Power workers are reinforcing the excavated 56-by-41-foot crater and making the site safe for crews.
UCLA officials said six facilities were damaged in Tuesday's flooding.
About 960 vehicles were trapped in garages, with many below water left behind by the roiling flood. On Thursday night removal began of about 270 cars that were on upper levels and not damaged by water.

While we haven't heard a peep about the Android 4.2 update rolling out to the HTC One in the US, it's old news in Europe. In fact, HTC is already rolling out the 4.2 update to last year's flagship, the HTC One X, on that side of the pond. European owners of the Tegra 3-powered handset will now get to taste Sense 5, including BlinkFeed, but they have the option to disable the latter if they're not interested.
A French image processing company by the name of DxO Labs has filed a DMCA takedown request targeting 12 GitHub repositories containing device-specific code for ROMs, most of them maintained by CyanogenMod team members. The notice is vague, only citing:
[3] I have a good faith belief that the file downloads identified below (by URL) are unlawful under these copyright laws because among other things, the files circumvent effective access controls and/or copyright protection measures;
[4] Reason:
Content Type: "Custom Firmware" files
Violation(s): Trafficking a device that circumvents effective access controls and/or trafficking a device that circumvents effective copyright protection measures.
The HTC One X+ may be a rehash of the original One X, but it's a good rehash. It's easily the best HTC phone on AT&T right now, and if you're looking to pick one up without breaking the bank, Amazon Wireless has the deal for you.
Right now, if you agree to a new two-year term with Big Blue, Amazon Wireless will hand over this little beauty for $80.
Despite having been out for roughly six months, the HTC One X is still one of the best smartphones you can buy on AT&T. The design and build quality are both fantastic, Sense is tolerable, and it works on AT&T's blazing fast LTE network.
If you walk into an AT&T store right now to buy this phone, you'll be leaving $100 lighter. If, however, you want to grab this phone without spending more than a penny, Amazon Wireless can make that happen.
- Paul
Congratulations - you will be contacted for your information in the near future!
The HTC One X+
The HTC One X+ is a lot like the original One X - if you stuck the One X in an awesome-machine and painted it murdered-out black, that is. And AT&T and Android Police are giving one away. You do want a One X that got stuck in an awesome-machine, don't you?
I had a brief hands-on with HTC's newest Android devices here at MobileCON in San Diego; specifically, the One X+ and One VX, both of which are tied down to AT&T here in the US. And the one you're probably interested in, the One X+, comes in any color you like - as long as it's black.
Now, my hands-on was indeed brief, but as a One X owner, I largely knew where to go and what to look at, and I have to say - this thing runs smooth.
There are two types of people in this world: those who stick with the same carrier for decades at a time, and those who jump from one to another in order get the best phones. If you fall into the latter category, now may be the time to head over to AT&T, because the HTC One X just dropped to a penny at Amazon Wireless.
Sure, HTC may have already announced the One X+ with AT&T as its exclusive provider here in the States, but that doesn't take away from what a solid device the original One X is right now.
Even as the proud owner of an HTC One X, sometimes I find it difficult to defend the company whose handsets I really do love. The One X is a truly gorgeous piece of hardware - a unique and interesting design among a sea of relatively similar (or extremely boring) shiny plastic rectangles. It's the first Android phone design I've looked at and thought to myself, "Wow, that's really inspired." Call me a fanboy if you must, but I really do love the look of this phone.
If you walk into AT&T right now to buy the HTC One X and sign a new agreement, you'll not only be overrun by people trying to get the new iPhone, but pay $100 for it. Here's a better idea: stay home, head over to Amazon Wireless, and get the same phone for just $20 (if you're opening a new AT&T account). You'll avoid the crowd, standing in line, and having to listen to some salesman tell you to buy some other phone that's not nearly as good.
While the AT&T version of the HTC One X has been getting nightly builds of CM10 for about a week now, the international variant has been left in the cold, alone and scared of its stock OS. I spoke with the international One X over the weekend, and it has this to say:

Game description: Fun Words
Fun Words. The game is simple and complex all at once. The essence of the game is as follows. You have to make words of Russian language of letters appearing. The game checks if such a word really exists. If it does, you get certain bonuses, if not you lose bonuses from the already got. Each letter has its value. It depends on how often the letter is used in Russian. You can not ponder for a long time, as a letter disappears after some time and the new one appears. Moreover the player loses points for unused letter. The number of points lost is equal to value of the letter.

It's hard for me to look into the mirror and see myself at the weight I am at. I use to be a lean 145 pounds in high school. And here I sit at 215. But seeing you beautiful women achieve your goals gives me hope that someday I will be able to post my story on here with the rest of you. You are all very inspiring.

One of the most underplayed genres of youtube video is "amazing cross-disciplinary research technology narrated in a monotone voice." For example this video on how you make tiny flying robots out of composites using techniques from origami and popup books.
I think this stuff is among the coolest stuff being worked on in the world — and I love slash regret that these amazing developments are generally presented in the most ho-hum way possible. Anyway, check out this 5 min video [via Sawyer]:

Ever since his first trip to the Yucatán, where he waded through the jungle, machete in one hand, camera in the other, photojournalist David Alan Harvey has been addicted to the people and places associated with the Spanish Diaspora. Over the past 30 years, he has juggled magazine and newspaper assignments that sent him to Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil (to name just a few), in order to capture on film the hearts and minds of the afflicted people. In his new book, Divided Soul (Phaidon), Harvey's 110 photographs—taken during assignments for National Geographic and the New York Times—take you on a voyage through time and place telling tales of sadness and hope.
1. When did you first become interested in the Spanish Diaspora, the subject of your new book, Divided Soul?
It was on my first foreign assignment, on the Mayan Culture in the Yucatán. I fell in love with the indigenous population and started to study the history. I became very upset when I learned of the conquest when the Spanish came here and burned all the books and subjugated the people. Originally I thought that the Spaniards must not be very nice, but that all changed when I went to Spain and saw the other side of the fence. In a non-linear way I tell 15 or so stories throughout the book that involve three cultures: the Spanish, the Africans who were brought as slaves to the New World, and the indigenous population. What's interesting is that the shot we chose for the cover, a man in a church, was the oldest photograph in the book. I took it on that first assignment.
2. How did the language barrier affect your ability to work with the people you met?
Speaking Spanish, although mine is not perfect, was immeasurably important. I only wish I spoke Portuguese as well. It gave me an insight into the culture—the way people speak tells you a lot about the way people are. I didn't know any Spanish when I first started. So I just learned the language on the street as fast as I could.
3. What do you typically bring with you on assignment?
I travel really light and about the same way, from a logistic standpoint, whether I am going for two weeks or two months. I usually have a few extra camera bodies, in case one breaks or is stolen. The writers I travel with always pack more than I do, but I can wash my clothes in the bathtub with the best of them. I try to minimize my impact on the subject, and minimize its impact on myself.
4. You have spent a lot of time in Third World countries, including Communist Cuba. Have local authorities ever interfered with your work?
Not really, and I think that is partly because I travel so light. Everything I bring is a wrapped in a towel in my duffel bag. My Leica cameras look like World War II combat cameras, so I don't send off any red flags. I've been interrogated a few times, especially in Cuba, because I like to hang around for extended periods of time in order to get to know the people and places. That's always suspicious activity in a lot of countries. Somebody would tip the police off that I had been back to a particular place many times. In Cuba, there are watchmen on every block—a kind of tattletale system of surveillance. Everybody is an amateur policeman. I was picked up and brought to the police station. The men questioning me couldn't figure out why I would come back to the same house three times in a row. I told them, "Well, I need the light" or "I am trying to catch a moment," but that made no sense to them. It helps that I have proper credentials and I always carry one of my books or a magazine to show them. I was always released with a handshake.
5. What resources do you use to prepare for an assignment?
I do my homework before I go. I read all the guidebooks. These days, I get everything off the Internet. I read what the New York Times and Travel + Leisure have reported. When I went to Uruguay recently I brought T+L's piece on the gauchos. I also try to find a novel that was written about the area because that is another kind of truth. Before I went to Mexico I read D.H. Lawrence; I read Gabriel García Márquez before South America; and I always re-read Hemingway before I go to a place he wrote about.
6. All of the subjects in your book look so natural. How did you approach people and keep them comfortable while shooting?
I subscribe to the Henri Cartier-Bresson school of unobtrusive photography. The biggest difference between Henri and myself is that Henri took the theory to an extreme—I don't think he communicated with anybody. I interact with people a lot and get a natural picture that way. By hanging out with families, grocery store owners, and so on, I get into situations that I wouldn't get into if I were only a fly on the wall. I try to find a place that represents the microcosm of the whole situation and hang out for a long period of time. I don't just show up, take a picture, and then leave. I show up, have a beer, drink a cup of coffee, do whatever I have to do to get to know the people. Most of the time I can feel the situation out, and tell if someone wants to be photographed or not. I sometimes ask permission to go inside somewhere and then look the person in the eye to see if it is okay. I also do a lot of work around fiestas, without even photographing the event, because it is quicker to gain access to people in those kinds of situations.
7. Has anyone been upset when you have photographed them?
I can think of only one time, and it was a guy who had been drinking, and he was with a woman who he was not supposed to be with. And he wasn't in the picture anyway. He must have been a block away from what I was focusing on.
8. Do you think people will be able to relate to your photographs, even if they don't know much about the diaspora?
I like to find a picture situation that is something anybody could relate to—a little moment, gesture, slice of life that anybody could look at and recognize. For example, there is a picture in the book of a little boy bouncing a ball off his head, showing off for his girlfriend in the background. I am always doing these autobiographical shoots. I saw myself in that picture. Some of the pictures are exotic, because they are different, but I look for the magic in the everyday.
9. You have been working on this project for almost three decades. During that time, have you seen a big change in the way we travel, or how people view Americans abroad?
Even before the situation in Iraq, I've watched things erode. When I first started traveling 25 years ago, there was more of a welcoming mood. That has slowly deteriorated. Who knows what will happen in the future, where we will be able to go, or where we will be safe?The one thing I have learned is that while many people claim to dislike Americans, what they really mean is that they have a distaste for the government and foreign policy, but get along fine with its citizens.
10. Do you have any tips for traveling photojournalists?
Travel light. I have students walk into my class with three cameras, a Domke vest, tripods, light meters—they scream, "I am a photojournalist." Get rid of that stuff, because you're going to knock over babies in the marketplace. I encourage travelers and professionals to consider their impact on the subject. Also, everyone should do their homework. I've seen people who are traveling and don't know how to deal with the culture or know what's polite and impolite. Finally, don't think that the subjects are there for your benefit. They are real people leading real lives. You wouldn't go climbing over your next door neighbor's fence to take a picture through the window, but people do that when they are traveling.

In "A Place of Wholeness," a Tapestry of Faith program
Reason is a power of our minds that helps shape our development and our decision making. Reflect on the role of reason in your life. How important is reason for you? What sources of knowledge do you draw on? Alternate Activity 2 explores the "dance" between reason and spirit. Unitarian Universalists are sometimes accused of being too rational, and this "dance" refers to the attempt to balance the power of reason with our experiences of beauty, love, and mystery. To what extent does this characterize your religious journey? Is one dance partner more dominant than the other in your life? You and the participants may lean more in one direction more than the other. Be aware of your own reactions as well as those of participants, and encourage open and loving dialogue about the differences.

Hello all! We were just looking at our pictures again & truly miss Deck 7 cool kids! DD is very excited about going on the next cruise with us. But I don't know if her school schedule will allow us to go when everyone else is, Nursing school is different then the grammer & high school is. Plus her boyfriend is going to Grad school too! Lots of schedules to look at!
Party on Deck 7 with the Cool Kids!!
"We're so glad to see you all, shake the rafters fill the hall! Hoop dee doin' it with all our might! Hoop dee doin it, hoop dee doin it, hoop dee doin it tonight. Ya Hoo!"- Hoop Dee Doo Revue!
Greetings everyone from Deck 7. I just wanted to take the time to tell you guys that it was such an honor to be on the best Deck with you all. The one thing that I regret about the cruise is that I didn't get to spend as much time as I wish with so many people. It just went by way too quick.
On that note, hopefully, if we didn't chat on the cruise, then maybe I will be fortunate enough to see you in Walt Disney World one day. And if given the opportunity, I promise to chat your ear off.
With much love and admiration to all of you, MoJo

Hey All!!!
I AM STILL ALIVE but am not able to get online as much as I usually do when the internet is working at the house. One of the things I am doing with my new found free time is heading to coffee shops that have free wifi with a purchase
Finally got ahold of my boss at the agency I work at and she still doesn't have any shifts for me and has given me no explanation as to why she took me off the schedule to work with a client that I have grown to love.
All that being said ( and I could say so much more but won't online) I am actively and more aggressively looking for better employment.
Please say a prayer and send some pixie dust my way because this sudden need for a new job search and the financial crunch I am in right now has triggered the physical symptoms of my anxiety issue and when it hits bad I am miserable....though today was a better day then yesterday I never know when the symptoms are going to rear the ugly heads.
I will do my best to post here when I get videos and pictures up from our lovely voyage!!!
Please know that I miss everybody greatly and think of our time on the DREAM every day!!!
PS whoever mentioned the software on the Flip Video Camera it is on mine but doesn't work with the MAC IBook I am currently borrowing while I am waiting on money to get all the info off my PC's hard drive before I send it off to be repaired. 8( hehe

This is in response to the Feb. 14 Ann McFeatters column in which she laments "Forty-six percent of Americans refuse to accept that human life evolved from lesser animals in a process that took billions of years." Her paradigm fails to account for the fact that, even after all these years of government brainwashing, the statistical reality is that nearly half of students graduate not believing a word of it. Citing President Obama as an authority, when most of what he preaches ends up being totally false, is hardly convincing.
Bill Nye's citing the fact that "there are now millions of species of flora and fauna" ignores the larger truth, as these same scientists tell us out of the other side of their mouths that the number of flora and fauna has been steadily decreasing, as borne out both by the fossil record and current observation. Decreasing? Why, that alone would disprove the macro-evolutionary theory by acknowledging that instead of starting with a primitive organism crawling up on some long-ago beach, "someone" had to have created the whole thing to start with and it has been steadily degrading ever since. It is upon proponents of Darwinism that the burden of proof falls most heavily. Other than a few famous fakes like the imaginary Piltdown man, there simply is no evidence that cannot be more rationally explained by a creation model.

Jay & Livermore Falls, Pioneers in Paper Making
Alvin Record and Hugh J. Chisholm were instrumental in building paper mills in Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. The two industrialists helped make the towns prosperous.
In 1893, F.C. Whitehouse of Topsham, who owned paper mills in Topsham and Lisbon Falls, began construction of a third mill on the eastern banks of the Androscoggin River five miles north of Topsham. First, he had to build a dam to harness the river's power.
The paper mill on the Penobscot River in South Brewer, which became known as Eastern Fine Paper Co., began as a sawmill in 1884 and grew over the years as an important part of the economy of the region and a large presence in the landscape. Its closing in 2005 affected more than the men and women who lost their jobs.

Sounders' DP Obafemi Martins finally has a chance to settle in
"I'm ready to go," said Martins — three times — after his first practice with the team Thursday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Sounders @ Real Salt Lake,
6 p.m., KONG
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Practice notes: Osvaldo Alonso misses another session with leg injury NEW - 1/28, 05:23 PM
TUKWILA — Obafemi Martins, Sounders FC's exciting new addition, practiced with the team for the first time Thursday.
Oddly enough, it came 12 days after his first game.
Indeed, not much has been conventional in the designated player's addition, but things should start to clear up heading into Saturday's game at Real Salt Lake. First and foremost is his availability upon returning from the Nigerian national team this week.
"I'm ready to go," said Martins — not once, but three times.
Teammates, coaches and, of course, fans can't wait to see him again.
Martins, a veteran of top teams in England, Italy, Germany and Spain, played as a sub against Portland on March 16. His Sounders debut came less than 24 hours after his arrival from Europe, but he left the following day for a World Cup qualifier in Nigeria.
Thousands of miles later, Martins is back again. One person particularly excited is forward partner Eddie Johnson, who himself returned this week from national-team duty with the U.S.
"He's proven that he can score goals in the biggest leagues in the world," Johnson said of Martins. "It's just a matter of time before his goals come."
Glimpses of a potentially lethal partnership up front are already visible, according to coach Sigi Schmid.
"Obviously (Martins) is learning people and people are learning him," Schmid said, "but there were already a couple good combinations. ... I think as they get to know each other, they'll be good."
The Sounders could use a boost on offense; the team has scored just once in an 0-2-1 start in MLS, a goal by Johnson against the Timbers. With both forwards gone in Saturday's shutout loss at San Jose, Schmid likened Seattle's attack to that of a butter knife: "We weren't quite sharp enough when we needed to be."
And now?
"I think we're probably a little bit sharper," the coach said. "We're a little bit of a serrated edge."
Added Johnson: "I don't think we're going through a tough spell. I think it's a challenging spell — trying to think of something positive — because I think we've got a very special group, and it's just going to take time for us to jell."
• Mario Martinez, as of Thursday's practice, had not returned from Honduran national-team duty, but Schmid said the midfielder is "on his way back."
• Sounders FC's MLS Reserve League game at RSL has been postponed indefinitely to accommodate Seattle's CONCACAF Champions League game Tuesday against Mexico's Santos Laguna. "It makes no sense to play a reserve game on Sunday," Schmid said. "Why would we want to throw in a third game? That would mean we're playing three games in four days. For the group, it's a lot better to push that game off."
• Reign FC is home from a preseason trip to Japan. Game tickets for the upcoming NWSL season go on sale April 8. The team is not pursuing a local television deal, but games will be streamed online.

In the meantime, he added, he will feel quite comfortable answering the barrage of questions he's sure to face in Miami concerning the reignited Reeves-Shanahan feud.
For their part, the Falcons (and their head coach) seem delighted with their underdog role--a part the Broncos played last year before facing the defending champion Green Bay Packers. One typical Atlanta press release chronicles the 16-2 exploits of "The Guys That Nobody Wanted"--running back Jamal Anderson, transformed from the 201st player picked in the 1994 draft into the NFC rushing leader; quarterback Chris Chandler, a two-time pro-bowl pick who was released by five other teams; wide receiver Terance Mathis, who started only one game in four years for the New York Jets but who now has 44 touchdown catches for the Falcons; cornerbacks Randy Fuller and Ronnie Bradford, both cut by the--ahem--Broncos.
The Falcons also crow about Reeves--fired by Denver and the New York Giants but now headed to his fourth Super Bowl.
Can this sort of poor-mouthing, woe-is-us act lull a champion to sleep? Not if the champion is Broncos running back and league MVP Terrell Davis. "We're playing a team, if you ask me, that's a pretty even matchup," Davis said warily. "They have similar numbers and skills with a similar style of play. They are the team we were last year, and their winning in Minnesota speaks volumes to me. I'm sincere about that. No kind of comment is going to lull us to sleep."
And the war between the coaches? Is the relationship between Reeves and Shanahan irrevocably broken? Shanahan paused, then answered: "I would say...yes." And was Reeves's attack a calculation to get under his old antagonist's skin? "I don't know," the Broncos coach answered, "and I'm not trying to figure it out...But I can say this: This game is much bigger than Mike Shanahan and Dan Reeves, and hopefully, we can leave it at that."
The smoke was still pouring from his ears. You even got the feeling that, come Sunday night, good ol' Dan might be wishing he'd passed on that heart thing and gotten a vocal cord bypass instead.
If Gary Barnett's such a miracle worker, how come his 3-9 Northwestern Wildcats failed, in eight tries, to beat a Big Ten opponent last season?
That's one of the questions skeptics are asking in the wake of Barnett's hiring last week as the University of Colorado's 22nd head football coach. There are others, of course:
Why couldn't Barnett come to terms with CU when first approached by athletic director Dick Tharp? Why didn't he acknowledge any blame for the football gambling scandal that rocked Northwestern last year? Why did Barnett apparently spend so much time job-shopping after declaring his deathless loyalty to the Wildcats? At one time or another, his name was linked with openings at UCLA, Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington and with the Detroit Lions.
Is a guy who went 8-16 (3-13 in the Big Ten) in his last two seasons in Evanston really the right man for the job here?
On the bright side, Barnett did momentarily resurrect long-downtrodden Northwestern in 1995, winning the Big Ten championship with a 10-2 mark and catapulting the 'Cats to their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1949. He did go 9-3 in 1996 and played Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl.
And in the end, he did take the CU job after Purdue's Joe Tiller, Texas Christian's Dennis Franchione, Air Force's Fisher DeBerry, Oklahoma State's Bob Simmons, the Denver Broncos' Gary Kubiak and, for all we know, Springfield's Homer Simpson all said no to an ever more desperate CU search committee.
Barnett, who served as a CU assistant for eight seasons under Bill MCartney, is, for better or worse, in the fold. Presumably, he has unpacked his suitcases. Presumably, he won't be taking calls from the Nebraska Cornhuskers or the Cleveland Browns. Presumably, he'll prove his worth in Boulder.

Over the last months SEO has changed significantly, yet the basic objectives have remained the same. The job of SEO is to increase visibility and bring more qualified traffic to websites. A common misconception is that conversion is also part of SEO and clients sometimes feel disappointed that although the visibility and the traffic have risen, the conversions have not increased at the same pace. Saying that, there are aspects of the on-site optimisation that would help increase the chance of conversion; aspects, that I will talk about more a bit later in this post.
Let's start with the primary SEO objectives though – to increase online presence and the traffic of a website.
Visibility – what happens before the click
A few months ago, before Google announced that due to privacy settings most of the keywords reported in Google Analytics will be shown as (not provided), many SEOers were measuring results purely based on the traffic reported in GA. Nowadays there is another stage of the search, that often used to be overlooked – the pre-click data. It could give you a very good indication as to what areas of the website are working well and which ones might benefit from some attention.
One of the things you can do to increase your website's online presence is to mark up your images in a way that is easy for the search engines to understand. Ensure the images on your website work for you, not against you. Before you even upload them, check that the files are optimised for web and their appearance won't slow your website down. In addition to that, make sure the name of the actual file suggests what the content of the image would be. Just to clarify, I'm not talking about keyword stuffing and trying to manipulate the system, I'm only suggesting that if you have an image of "blue shoes", don't upload the file as "image1", but as "blue-shoes". Once the image is on the website, the next thing you should do is to add alt text to the image, again describing the content, but not making it too spammy.
Not only you can use images to gain visibility, but creating YouTube videos and optimising them is a great idea too. You wouldn't believe how many people create videos and upload them to YouTube, but don't optimise them. They don't put a link to their own website (this is only to be done when you are the legal owner of the video) which makes it harder for Google to attribute the credit when it's due. The best practices say that a link to the website should be the very first thing in the description for each video. In addition to that, captions should be added to enable easier crawling of the video content.
Rich snippets
Rich snippets are yet another way of getting more visibility in search results. It is the output of a structured data input. As Google is trying to provide searchers with the most relevant data, its algorithms try to determine what kind of data the user is after. In order to implement structured data you can either use schema.org to get the actual code in place, or if you don't have the technical knowledge and/or resources, you can always use Google's own Data Highlighter. When using the latter, you don't have all the schemas available, but you definitely can mark up your pages with the most popular ones such as events, local businesses and products. There are a few rich snippets I would like to put your attention on, as those are more "generic" whereas the others are more specific to particular types of businesses and activities, such as showing football results, marking up for attorneys, etc.
- Local business – don't miss out on your local market; you can't rely on the fact that people would have seen your store just because they live right next to it. Nowadays people are very busy, and if they remember everything they see, they will be overwhelmed. That's why human brain has a selective remembrance for things. And that is why you should make sure you are as visible as possible.
- Reviews and ratings – those are the stars that will help you stand out from the crowd;
- People – in every company there are people working (even if it's a one-man band), so if you have an "about us" page with some info about the staff members, you might benefit from marking those pages up
- Products mark-up is especially useful for eCommerce websites – using the Data Highlighter you can easily tell Google what your products are called and how much they cost, have an image for them and show their availability.
- Authorship – it makes your face appear to articles you've written, which add authority to the article itself.
There are a few simple steps to get that set up Authorship:
- Get a Google+ account with your name
- Get the link for it (the one that's in the address bar) and add ?rel=author at the end of it. So for my profile the final URL looks like this https://plus.google.com/110358934043731716829?rel=author once you have the URL that needs to be used, include it on the page which you're marking up.
- Then go to your G+ profile and click on About; then under the "Contributing to" add www.yourwebsite.co.uk and click "save" and you're done
In order to check whether you've implemented the structured data properly, you can use the Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
Google News
If you have a news section on your website it is definitely worth to try and get into Google News. Unfortunately, it's not an easy job, but once you're in, it does pay off. There are millions of people every day checking Google News, so it would be great if you could get a piece of that pie. There are technical and quality requirements in order to get even considered for inclusion, so you need to make sure your website fulfils all of them before you apply.
How to measure success: the easiest and most sensible way to monitor the visibility of a website, as previously mentioned, is in Google Webmaster Tools. The data there shows how many impressions your website has for a particular keyword as well as how many impressions the different pages get. The key when working with impressions data is not to focus on specific keyword results, but on keyword groups. For example, if your website is selling shoes, you would like the number of impressions generated from search queries containing "shoes" to increase.
Don't forget that there are two days delay in the data GWT shows, so be patient before you judge about the effectiveness of the changes you've made.
Traffic, or what makes people click on a link they see in the search results
Let's say now that you've done all you can to do get maximum exposure in the search results and you've caught user's attention. Then what you need to do is to ensure you get the so desired click. There are a few ways to do that depending on the type of search results the user has performed.
- If it's an image search, you have to make sure the images on your website are high quality.
- If you've appeared in Google's local listings, then the way to stand out would be to have a complete listing. Spend some time on adding your opening hours, full address, images, information about the services and/or products you provide; also don't forget that Google's local listings also have a section for reviews, so encourage your clients to give feedback on Google+. Oh, and don't forget to verify your listing. Google gets funny sometimes and it wouldn't display your listing if it's not verified; yet other times it will, so you might as well be on the safe side. In addition to that it's good to mention that people would be more likely to trust you if they see you have a verified listing. To summarise, the more information you provide the Almighty User with, the better the chance they will choose to come to you.
- If you were found via a "normal" web search, you should be mostly relying on title tags and meta descriptions. Although one might argue that rich snippets are also a priority focus, I rest my case that to start with, you should put more attention on titles and metas. This is purely because those are the two things that will definitely appear in the search results. Rich snippets often appear when Google "feels" like showing them, so don't take chances with this and invest time into what you have full control over. I think that now is the time, when I should remind you of a few things:
- Title tag should be 466px to 469px, so that it always shows in the search results. If it's longer you risk of it either being truncated, or for Google to replace it with something else (the big G often takes H1s if they are within the max length)
- Nothing much has changed for the meta descriptions – they should be roughly 155 characters
Keep the aforementioned unique and as specific as possible for each page of your website so that both users and search engines know what the page is all about.
How to measure success: It is more than clear that the number of visitors reported in Google Analytics will give you a good indication of whether or not your SEO approach is working. To ensure that the visitors you've brought to the website are highly targeted you need to drill down a bit in the data provided. For example, a client might argue that you're not bringing them qualified traffic, so you, as an SEOer, should be able to prove that you actually are. So, if the targeted market is in London, when you go into Google Analytics, you should be able to show that indeed a reasonable amount of the traffic is coming from London. Depending on your (your client's goals) you should be checking various bits of data to judge about the performance of the website.
Optimise for mobile
These days, more and more people use mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to browse the web. And one way to do so is to use voice search or its enhanced version – Google Now. If you want to appear there, you still need to do everything we just spoke about, but the key here is to focus on long-tail keywords. When working with voice search, people tend to use longer queries that
Oh, and by the way, even though this is not an SEO thing as such, I won't forgive myself if I don't mention it: have a mobile version of your website. If you keep bringing people to a website that is hard to navigate on a mobile device, it only means that your SEO efforts are lost, as people will just bounce off.
A quick tip: go and check your Google Analytics and find out how many visitors a month you have from mobile devices, if they are only 5, then there's nothing to worry about. If they account for 50% of your traffic though, you might really need to consider a mobile version of the site, or at least some responsive one.
Safe link building
Amongst all of the things that have changed recently in the SEO industry, the way link building is done stands out in particular. The old exact match anchor texts for inbound links can only do one thing for you, and this is to get you a penalty. "And now what?" you're asking. Now, you should be only having links on third party websites if they are for marketing purposes, not for the benefit of search engines alone.
Also, use social media websites to share your links, as the social signals (especially coming from Google+) play an important role in search. The more active you are on social media, the bigger authority and trust you'll have in Google's eyes.
Furthermore, local citations are something that should be considered, as they are the so called "safe directories"
As I said, conversions are not an actual responsibility of SEO, but there are a few on-site optimisation techniques that could be applied in order to improve the customer's experience on your website.
- Make sure the time it takes for your website to load is not dreadful;
- Use proper headings (H1, H2, etc) – they should be clear enough for both users, and robots;
- High quality content written from humans and for humans;
- Check your website regularly for broken links and fix them. Also don't forget to put a custom 404 page in place
- Make all your external links to open in a new window – a big mistake would be to let users leave your website
- The rest is in your hands
As Google Adwords are now made more integrated within the search results, you have to make sure that when you appear in the organic results, you stand out from the crowd regardless of the search terms and devices used. Be where your audience might be; be everywhere.
Stop worrying about the numbers* and focus on the quality of the products and services you offer online, as well as offline, then the numbers will follow shortly after.
* If you have done everything we've just talked about and the numbers are still not coming in, then there might be a reason to worry. Before you start panicking though, here's a quick list of things you might want to check.
- Ensure your tracking is set up properly – after launching a new website or migrating a website to a new domain, the tracking might break along the way
- Make sure (for example, by checking in Google Trends) that there's demand for your product/services. People often forget that SEO doesn't create demand. So, if you've done everything right and you only got 100 impressions a month, then check whether those 100 impressions are not the whole search demand there is. If they are, that means that you are getting maximum exposure, so you have nothing to worry about.
- Check for penalties – Google can and does penalise websites not only based on current activities, but also based on retrospective manipulative actions.
And if you have checked all of those and still feel that you're "entitled" to more traffic, give us a shout, we're always up for a good challenge.

What If We Lost: An argument for losing a major lore-based battle {WoW}
Jul 12th 2009 8:22PM [Spoilers be here, Do not read if you have not killed agalon and do not want to know what happens]
Agalon doesn't die. Due to the effort and passion of the mortals who battled him, he is moved by the effort and says this:
"I have seen worlds bathed in the Makers' flames. Their denizens fading without so much as a whimper. Entire planetary systems born and raised in the time that it takes your mortal hearts to beat once. Yet all throughout, my own heart, devoid of emotion... of empathy. I... have... felt... NOTHING! A million, million lives wasted. Had they all held within them your tenacity? Had they all loved life as you do?
Perhaps it is your imperfection that which grants you free will. That allows you to persevere against cosmically calculated odds. You prevailed where the Titans' own perfect creations have failed. "
He returned to the titans after he gave you the reply code alpha. Thus he can't be touched by the Lich king.
p.s. I see alot of people talking about a attack which fails, the idea is pretty good however the Argent Tournument can also be a place where the Lich king finds his best new "recruits" By gathering all the forces in one place to find the strongest one, he can easily kill them and make them his thus rendering the enemies weapon his own.
What If We Lost: An argument for losing a major lore-based battle {WoW}
Jul 12th 2009 8:02PM Haven't you realised some things with wotlk.
There are more enemies then one we have had to take care of then the Lich king. We have killed Malygos and Yogg-Saron, two who have been considered enemies to the Lich king. With the removal of these two, there is no other opponents against us (there is still one/ more threat(s), residing in the sanctum). By using your enemey to remove other enemies that can attack you, you can focus on the largest enemy. So due to manipulation from the lich king we have removed almost every enemy lich king had for the control of Northrend.
He can easily now take over the areas that have previously eluded him and launch another invasion with his forces.

Rory Block on the struggles and triumphs that happen When a Woman Gets the Blues
Rory Block (due April 21st at Rock and Soul Cafe in Boulder and on April 22nd at Swallow Hill in Denver) was fortunate to be at the epicenter of the roots music explosion of the late '50s and early '60s as a child in Greenwich Village. Block rubbed shoulders not just with Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, but also the still-living blues masters of the day, including Son House, Reverend Gary Davis and "Mississippi" Fred McDowell.
Some of that blues soul was obviously infused into Block's own spirit at a young age, because she went on to be one of the most talented blues musicians of her generation. But rather than go the rock route, as so many did, Block stuck to the original art form and -- in so many ways -- she has held on to her integrity as a true modern master of that music.
In 2006, Block got an unexpected stamp of approval from the surviving members of Robert Johnson's family; one couldn't hope for a more coveted endorsement. We spoke with the charming and gracious Block before she ventured forth on one of her many tours, chatting about her struggles, her triumphs, her art and her new autobiography, When a Woman Gets the Blues.
Westword: On that interview section of your website, you mentioned how you drew Reverend Gary Davis. Did you do a lot of drawing when you were younger, and do you continue to do visual art for yourself today?
Rory Block: I absolutely spent quality time with him where Stefan Grossman was taking lessons. But he also came to an apartment we had on St. Mark's Place in the West Village. I write about this in a chapter in my new book, When a Woman Gets the Blues. He was sitting in the living room and smoking his cigar, and Stefan used to reach over and flick the ash off and sort of take care of things. I just drew him when he was sitting there. I have two drawings of Reverend Gary Davis. One was when he was at the house and it was from life, just looking at him and drawing him. The other was from a photo of him at a festival, and I've long since lost track of the original photo. I hope somebody will recognize it at some point and identify it, but I don't recall anymore.
I haven't done much in the way of artwork for quite a while, but I still do a little bit from time to time. I don't seem to have much time for it right now. Maybe sometime I'll get back to it. It's a very peaceful pursuit, and I kind of miss that.
Why was baseball the activity of choice during stops on tour rather than another activity?
I always liked baseball growing up, so it was something I was fairly good at it. Plus, a bicycle takes a bicycle, and if you think about it, almost all sports activities require something in terms of equipment. And a bat and balls and mitts don't take up a lot of space, so they're kind of perfect in that sense. You don't have to carry a kayak on top of the bus or anything like that [laughs]. They seem like easy things to fit in storage bins under the bus.
You've written that audiences give you the gift of feeling valued, but that you never felt valuable. Considering everything you've done, that sentiment comes as a surprise. Do you still feel that way?
Thank you for saying that. That's very kind of you. I have always been on the shy, insecure side, in my own way. I think that -- not trying to say, "go to the book" -- the first third of the book is about my childhood, and it details all kinds of memories and the things that happened to me that made me who I am. There was a lot of insecurity there. If you think about it, the field of music that I loved the most was not at all mainstream. In addition to feeling insecure as a child, and kind of very much an outsider, everything that I was interested in was always totally different than the things my peers were interested in. So I was an unusual personality to begin with.
My choice of music was very eclectic and, as far as I was concerned, it was the best music on earth. But it wasn't at all mainstream, so it made it that much harder to get established doing that form of music when everyone was saying, "Why don't you just sing rock and roll? Why don't you just do this? Why don't you do that?" I guess I always felt like I was on the outside looking in, and it has taken me forever to feel a little bit more secure in what I do and the fact that I have won some awards -- the nice things that have happened, all a surprise to me, quite frankly. You could almost say I'm more grateful for it because I never expected it.
People nowadays all seem to think the blues is really mainstream, but when you were starting out? Not at all.
Exactly. I was advised not to even consider making a career out of singing blues. So I was discouraged by a lot of people that it was something you could never make a career out of, but over time it slowly came together.

During the Classical period Mesoamerica gave birth to numerous ceremonial sites and cities that, at their peak, created an impressive pyramid landscape. Cities developed by Teotihuacans, Zapotecs and Mayans became important centers for religion, knowledge, power and commerce.
Mayans reached the scientific and artistic peak in Mesoamerica. They created the notion of zero and used their mathematical knowledge in creating a calendar of amazing accuracy. The artistic genius of Mayans is shown throughout their architecture, sculpture, painting and ceramics, as well as in the urban design of their cities.

I have what I believe to be a grandiflora that has been in the same place for probably 20 or 30 yrs. As far as I know it has never been touched. I've trimmed off all of the dead parts to it, now it's about half the size it was. It's about 8-10 ft tall, about 10-12 ft across, there are four 'stalks' at the base about 1-1.5" across. One of these comes out horizontally. My question is this: What is the best way to move a plant this large? I figure I'll have to do it bare root, then come back for some of it's dirt to try to reduce some of the shock. Should I remove the part that comes up horizontally? I'm going to assume that it will need support (It's leaning on several downed trees), what is the best way to do this? Any insight I can get is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hello, I also have a grandiflora...it was in the garden of the house I bought and has been there for more than 30 years,...It is a very beautifull rose and I didn't want to loose it but it was standing in the way... One day my neighbour and I just decided to move it (I had watered it thoroughly during a week before each day)...we dug it up and put it in the new hole, watered it well.... This was in september or october...and it is doing fine! I was surprised it all worked out so well...it had a bud on it and it flowered some days after moving! Tinus |
I just read about deep spading and wedging out to fill with fresh rooting soil, then weeks later digging up and moving. Any one tried this? |

paper, Where in Mi are you located? I'm down in Brownstown, which is about 15 miles south of Detroit. My suggestion would be to wait until the ground is diggable and remove as much of the root system as possible. I would then transplant to the biggest pot you can get and use good potting soil to fill pot. Remove the horizontal cane, along with any that look weak. I do this quite a bit in late March/early April without the roses suffering one bit. You can then plant it later in spring where you like without having to worry about shock. Speaking of transplanting, I'll be removing about 50 or so roses from my gardens come spring. These are all patented roses that I have decided to donate to members of our local rose society (DownRiver Rose Society). So if you are in the area, think about joining. We have a pretty informal group here with some real knowledgeable folks. The Lindleys from GLR, along with members such as Tom McMillan, who is the breeder of some great exhibition roses such as Rejoice and Affirm. |
