Does Page Rank Still Matter? - 2010 edition
Msg#: 4095921 posted

I have noticed over time that depending on the right combination of keywords low ranking sites out do high ranking ones in the serps.
I realise that their is a lot of argument about this topic and that most directories still sort there site by pr but to google in the grand scheme of things does it really matter.

Great Post MartiniBuster, and...
It's 2010 but webmasters continue working like it's 2003

Ask why low PR pages outrank higher PR pages about the same topic.
I think one of reasons is because if you ONLY take focused on-topic PR juice, the low ranking PR page may actually have a stronger "on-topic" PR than the high ranking PR page (where on high-ranking PR page the majority of PR may come from wider or perhaps more general on-topic subject).
So PR may tell you how popular the page is, but it does not tell you what for.
I would also argue that the more niche the query is, the more chance of lower PR pages to outrank high PR pages, whereas for more generic queries is more chance for high ranking PR pages to outrank lower ranking PR pages.

MadScientist made this point early on:
the only reason it's over-hyped is because Google insists on displaying the 'Green Pixel Dust' in the stinking toolbar. If they would stop publishing the inaccurate, out-of-date, green idiot lights people would stop talking about it
That strikes me as an asute observation and it begs the question:
Just WHY DOES Google insist on displaying this (so-called) information? Do they believe that the majority of the surfing public is actually taking note of which sites have the most green? I can see no valid reason in 2010 for including that on the toolbar, so am wondering if MC or anyone else has offered an "official" explanation? NOT a justification for Google's use of PR, but rather, why they think it needs to still be on the toolbar for the general public?

I'd guess the reasoning is that the green pixels are not there by default - so if you actively turn it on, you have an interest.

1) To confuse people who are trying to "over-optimise"
2) To distort, and therefore reduce, the market for paid links by pushing the focus onto an indicator that does not work.

I only look at Alexa these days. This is not perfect but it more or less shows me whether I can get traffic from a site or not. Google taught me to go after links delivering traffic - these help the most both: traffic and rankings.
Truth is: high PR sites usually have high traffic but I know a handful of PR5 and 6 sites being penalized.

Anchor text is not a factor in PageRank, so you can throw out that variable.
I may have been misunderstood. I was stating that anchor text IS a "variable" i.e. that it would be impossible to test Pagerank as a ranking factor independently of the anchor text and backlinks you get to raise that Pagerank.

Ah-ha! Okay, that takes care of the anchor text ... any ideas on how to increase Pagerank without increasing the number and/or quality of backlinks/internal linking?

Elsewhere there's discussion to a recent interview with Cutts. Here's a quote which suggests PR does have a use: How often and how deep G will crawl your site:
The best way to think about it is that the number of pages that we crawl is roughly proportional to your PageRank. So if you have a lot of incoming links on your root page, we'll definitely crawl that. Then your root page may link to other pages, and those will get PageRank and we'll crawl those as well. As you get deeper and deeper in your site, however, PageRank tends to decline.
Viewed from that point of view perhaps PR has some value after all. :)

If you mean the question "Does PageRank Still Matter?" the answer is not at all speculative. The answer is YES, it still matters. It matters for crawling and for indexing and for ranking. PageRank is still a significant part of the overall picture.

Or, it reinforces the importance of deep links

I have long considered deep linking of prime importance. It is extremly difficult to sustain a site from the home page alone - a mistake I have seen a lot of people make.
Much has been said of Wiki's "internal linking". I would speculate that the vast number of deep links from external sources is as, if not more, important.
As long as I am speculating, what if a different dampening factor were used on internal pagerank vs external? Seems to me it would be a very efficient way to moderate attempts to manipulate via internal linking - make that PR decay faster each step of the chain.

I apologize for quibbling, but it's worth noting something about the phrase, Internal PageRank. The phrase "internal pagerank" is generally used to denote the official pagerank score as seen at the GooglePlex. So for the sake of keeping our terminology straight, maybe we should not be calling the flow of PR within a website internal pagerank. Maybe something like
internal pagerank flow
is more accurate?
However, as I understand it, there is a dampening factor that affects how far PageRank will flow within a site. It gets back to the random surfer described in the original paper. At a certain point the random surfer will click out of a site or find what they want and leave. As I understand it, PR flow emulates that process, hence a decay.

And the main reason you need a dampening factor is to keep the PageRank values from going off to the sky as the calculation is iterated, over and over. Without a dampening factor, the numbers would never settle down to a stable value. With the dampening factor, after a number of iterations around the entire webgraph, PageRank numbers are only changing out at the 8th, 9th or 10th decimal place. That's the "dampening" that it creates.

Martinibuster - agreed on the need for clarity of language.
RE different dampening factors... I understand the existence of 'a' dampening factor. Simply suggesting that a higher dampening factor of on-site linking would also lead to a more rapid decay of PR.
Was kind of fun when we could all watch the dance. I kind of miss those days, and the race to announce it here on WebmasterWorld.

@tedster, I am not sure I see why a dampening factor is necessary for stable values. I though what they do is effectively solve a giant simultaneous equation, as in the linear algebra section here: [
The real maths is likely to be more complex as well as larger scale, but the principle should be the same. An iterative approach should (if they use it, which I doubt as it looks more computationally intensive to me) should give the same answers.

Consider what happens if every page splits its FULL PageRank vote to the pages that it links to, and then those pages do the same and so on.
As you iterate the calculation over and over around the web graph, the PageRank for any given page would never approach a limit of any kind. That is, it would never settle down, it would just keep growing.
The damping factor keeps that from happening - in the original formula I believe they used 0.85 for
, which is the damping factor.
The real maths is likely to be more complex as well as larger scale
Yes, I'm sure that's true. There is a difference between the definition of PageRank and the methods for doing the calculation. Google has evolved their calculation method over time, and they are not about to share that exact procedure. It is "secret sauce."

TThey did use a damping factor of 0.85. Brin and Page's own presentation in 1998 says so [
My point is that a damping factor is not essential, so you cannot be sure that it is still used. The paper also mentions varying the damping factor or only applying it to certain pages.
Consider what happens if every page splits its FULL PageRank vote to the pages that it links to
That is exactly what happens in the example I liked to, and it does not go off the graph.
Anyway it does not really matter, and I am really just quibbling because I find the maths interesting. My defence is that quibbling is probably as useful as anything else that comes out page rank threads!

There is no way - PageRank calculations are defined by links.
I have been wondering if this is correct for the TBPR. I still see sites with a strange internal pagerank flow. Let's say you have a main-page with TBPR4 and a straight navigation like:
- page1
- page2
- page3
- page4
- page5
The "random surfer" would go to internal page1, perhaps more often than to page5. But I still see internal pagerank flows like:
MainPage: TBPR4
- page1: TBPR1
- page2: TBPR0
- page3: TBPR2
- page4: TBPR0
- page5: TBPR3
... which are not explainable only by links and inheritance of PR. Perhaps something to do with the content?
I tried everything to get the TBPR back to those PR0-pages: Changing content (all content has been unique all the time), removing all external links, etc. but I couldn't find a reason for the different internal TBPRs or find a test to get a smooth internal PR flow. Except for being just FUD of course...
And yes: There are still sites out there having a PR0 on the mainpage and ranking like hell.
My questions would be: Are those PR0-pages passing link-juice or not?

Nope... Has nothing to do with the content.

This quote is much closer... IMO It's much more likely it has to do with the published data you see in the tool bar and 0 or 'grey bar' is the default when data is not received.

Thanks for your reply. What could be a reason for that? Are we talking about network-problems or "Google does not know" or "Google does not want to tell"?
I made the guess with the content because I often see link-pages (like they where en vogue 3 years ago) getting a TBPR0/TBPR-grey, especially if they are out-of-topic.

Data drop in the data pushing process.
"Google does not want to tell"?
Could be.
Some types of pages might be dropped out of the published data to discourage link buying / selling purposely. Could be a connection thing where the number is cached by the requesting resource for N days (months) and was not present on the initial request and has not been re-requested yet.
Could be a the page(s) got detached during the calculation estimating process and did not get a published score this round.

I'm curious about the math too, so I read through the example at Cornell provided by graeme_p. It turns out you are both partly right. Without the dampening factor, the calculation converges for a connected web graph with no dangling nodes. However, the dampening factor is necessary to deal with disconnections and dangling nodes, so they could not dispense with it entirely.
This makes sense intuitively if you think of the random surfer model. The dampening factor represents the probability that the surfer will "jump" to a random page instead of following a link. If the surfer never jumps, the probability of the surfer landing on a page is still well-defined for a connected graph with no dangling nodes -- as the number of clicks goes to infinity, the probability of finding the surfer at any given page _at a particular time_ converges to its real value, which can be found by linear algebra. Of course the surfer will visit every page an infinite number of times, which is why one might think the series would diverge, but we are not calculating the number of visits to a page, but rather the probability of finding the surfer on that page, which converges.
However, if there is a dangling node (no outgoing links) the surfer will get stuck there, thus breaking the calculation. Therefore the dampening factor is required so that the surfer can leave such a page by jumping to some random other page.
None of this prevents the dampening factor from being different for different kinds of links -- that makes the calculation more complicated but it is still doable.

Mellisa Rollins, owner of MelliSPA, offers private beauty treatments by appointment only. This rule allows her and her staff to focus their completely on each client during each custom organic facial, full-body waxing, or massage. Committed to using natural and organic products when possible, Mellisa employs aroma and herbal therapies that draw on ancient herbal wisdom. For example, her hair-removal services eschew artificial waxes for all-organic ingredients such as amber honey, which is the same substance that bees use to remove fuzz from their abdomens.
At MelliSpa, aesthetician Paula Bartorelli nourishes complexions naturally. Drawing from a diverse background in advanced clinical skin care treatments and natural healing, her facials use high-quality GlyMed Plus and Prima Fleur Botanicals products. Her services often change with the seasons?for instance, a pumpkin-enzyme peel in the fall?but she also performs classic facials customized for aging, acneic, and dry skin.
Over the last 10 years, Skin Essentials Med Spa & Hair Salon owner Kelly Davis has prettified more than 1,000 faces with the SofTap permanent-makeup technique. She sidesteps the racket and pain of traditional tattoo-machine methods to gently apply the pigment with a hand tool, giving her absolute control to craft a subtle lip shape or a seductively arched brow. Guests can find similar attention to detail in the spa's repertoire of other beautifying services, from simple mani-pedis to advanced exfoliation peels that obscure signs of aging. Injections of Botox or Restylane keep skin surfaces as smooth as a pancake, and full-body scrubs and masks treat the whole physique to ensure that even your Achilles' heel embodies a beauty that belies its vulnerability.
The rustling of palm trees as tradewinds blow through them, the scent of saltwater carried in by rolling waves?nothing quite matches the carefree feel of a day on a beach in Hawaii, which is perhaps why The Wellness Journey Studio's owner Denise Baker-Bradley named her massage offerings after beaches on the tropical islands. But since she believes therapeutic massage therapy is not just for relaxation, these sessions have a therapeutic spin and can increase energy by lowering blood pressure. They can even improve sleep patterns better than keeping a closetful of sheep. During the Papohaku massage, for example, she rolls rods of bamboo over muscles to relieve deep-seated tension. For the celebrity facial massage sauna, she uses facial massage therapy techniques to reduce signs of aging. Before each stroke, she warms the massage oil, as clients stretch out beneath soft sheets and a soundtrack of beach sounds lulls them into a state of calm as deep as the ocean. The studio is located off Route 24 in Brockton.
Sue Lane has performed an estimated 24,000 bodywork sessions since she became a practicing massage therapist in 1984. By founding and operating Muscle Inc., she joins similarly experienced therapists in healing with a variety of bodywork modalities. To dispel stress and aches, foster flexibility and circulation, and help unravel injury symptoms, staffers at the practice's two locations employ a variety of techniques, among them reiki, medical massage, and craniosacral massage. No matter what type of session clients opt for, they're pampered with hot-cold therapy, soothing music, and a complimentary bottle of water. The Brockton location even features a chair lift, which assists people with mobility issues.
At Perron Family Chiropractic, Dr. Gregory Perron doesn't just adjust spines, he takes a holistic approach to addressing underlying causes of discomfort such as workplace stress or a diet consisting only of gummy bears. During attentive appointments, he performs exams and adjustments, and also encourages clients to take charge of their health by tweaking their lifestyles to diminish aches and pains. He also offers a 3-D spine stimulator on his website, which allows clients to see the various parts of the spine and all of the nerves, organs, radio-station frequencies they affect.

Like others have said, I'd like to think that this would modify his doucheness but I highly doubt it. He's only come across to me as hateful and vindictive in the past. If I were as vindictive, I might be tempted to Photoshop all of those pics and post them on some douchey website.

What Are the Available Lice Home Remedies?
A person's body can be a host to three different kinds of lice. These lice are head lice, body lice and pubic lice. The common symptom of these lice is itching. Lice get their nutrition from the human blood. The most common problem that we encounter is the head lice. Anyone can be infected with head lice, but this is common to school aged children. Many of us would want to get solution for this problem quickly and safely. We need to know some of the head lice home remedies we can use to get rid of head lice.
Home Remedies vs. Chemical Remedies
Home remedies or natural treatments use natural ingredients like fruits, vegetables, herbs or spices that can be found at home. These home remedies are used mainly for medicine. They are present for years and are used to treat different kinds of diseases. Natural treatment is known to be gentler and caring of our health and body. More people nowadays are discovering again the natural healing process by using home remedies.
Chemical remedies are known for their fast and effective way of curing any diseases. Chemical remedies are made of synthetic materials. Drugstores sell chemical remedies for all known sickness of men. Medicines in tablet or capsule form are considered chemical remedies. In recent studies, taking chemical remedies can affect us in a not so good way. They can alter how our body systems work.
Top 5 Head Lice Home Remedies
We are now aware that using too much chemical may be harmful to us. We have a choice now of what to use to get rid of head lice. There are several lice home remedies you can use to treat head lice infestation. You can choose from a variety of different head lice home remedy. You may think that every remedy can work for everyone but sometimes it will depend on each individual. Here are the 5 most popular head lice home remedies.
Mayonnaise Treatment
One of the most common head lice home remedy we can use to treat lice is mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is non-toxic and is known to get rid of lice. Apply the mayonnaise to your hair; it should be from root to tip. Wrap your hair with a shower cap or plastic wrap and leave for two hours. Use shampoo to rinse the mayonnaise off. Use the lice comb on wet hair. You need to comb thoroughly to remove the nits and eggs. Check your head for presence of head lice every two weeks, if it was not successful for the first time you can repeat the treatment again.
White Vinegar Treatment
Combine 50 percent of white vinegar with 50 percent water. Massage the solution into the hair. After putting the mixture in your hair cover it with shower cap. Let it stay for 40 minutes. This solution will help loosen the glue like grip of the nits in the hair shaft. This treatment is only effective in removing nits and not lice.
Olive Oil Treatment
Thoroughly coat the hair with olive oil. Massage the olive oil into the hair; make sure that all the affected area completely covered. Wrap the hair with a shower cap and let the oil stay for one night. The oil and cap will cause the living lice to be suffocated. In the morning wash your hair with a shampoo for oily hair. Use lice comb to remove the dead lice.
Tea Tree Oil Treatment
Tea tree oil is a lice home remedy that can be effective as a shampoo. In a plastic squeeze bottle, you need to combine 2 ounces of tea tree oil, 12.5 ounces of dishwashing liquid, and 4 ounces white vinegar. Use this solution like a regular shampoo. The treatment will make sure that the lice and nits will be gone in a week.
Vaseline Treatment
Apply Vaseline on your scalp to suffocate and remove the head lice. It will take a while to remove the Vaseline on your hair. You would need at least six washings before it is thoroughly removed. Use the lice comb to get rid of the lice and nits from your hair.
The head lice home remedies mentioned are mostly natural and safe to use. It would not be bad also if you will consult your physician about using these lice home remedies. It is better that you know what are the advantages and disadvantages of what you are dealing with instead of just using them blindly. It is also reassuring to know that you do not need to spend too much money in the removal of lice infestation. All you need are the information about the lice home remedies. After knowing about them, you check your home if these remedies are readily available. If not most of the items that are used are found in your local supermarket or drugstores.

The Flies Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
ZEUS Fifteen years ago, a mighty stench of carrion drew them to this city. (1.1.27)
It's interesting that Zeus uses the word "carrion" to describe the aftermath of Agamemnon's death. Again, the people of Argos – even its rightful king – are reduced to the state of mere animals.
ZEUS The people of Argos saw their faces dyed red by the sunset, and they saw them leaning over the battlements, gazing for a long while seawards. And the people thought, "There's evil brewing." But they kept silence. (1.1.36)
Where else do we see a red sunset in the course of The Flies? And how does that scene compare to the one Zeus describes here?
ORESTES For memories are reserved for people who own houses, cattle, fields, and servants. Whereas I–I am free as air, thank God! My mind's my own, gloriously aloof. (1.1.97)
Orestes can do nothing about his past – those are factual events he can't change. What he is free to do is interpret those events in his own mind and give meaning to them.

Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea's central bank will "normalize" interest rates as much as external uncertainties allow, Bank of Korea Governor Kim Choong Soo said.
"We need to keep moving" to curb inflation that is exceeding the central bank's target limit of 4 percent, Kim told reporters in Incheon, west of Seoul. "Given the impact on the entire economy, we cannot raise interest rates as much and as fast as cutting them during a crisis."
The Bank of Korea kept its benchmark seven-day repurchase rate at 3.25 percent on Oct. 13 for a fourth straight month as Europe's debt crisis and a faltering U.S. recovery cloud the outlook the country's exports. Rising risks to growth prompted Indonesia to unexpectedly cut interest rates this month, followed by Brazil. The Philippines unveiled fiscal stimulus.
Kim, who was speaking on Oct. 21 in comments that were released today, also said that the nation's economic growth this year may fall slightly short of an estimate of 4.3 percent projected in July due to weakness in the U.S. and European economies. Quarterly GDP growth slowed to 0.6 percent in the third quarter from 0.9 percent in the second, according to a survey by Bloomberg News. GDP data will be released on Oct. 27.

The Left at War tells the story of some arguments around the Iraq war that only partly intersected with the fights that were raging in the blogosphere at the same time. The book is less interested in arguments between warbloggers and progressives, or between the center and the left of the Democratic party, than in the battles among left intellectuals like Noam Chomsky, Michael Walzer and, indeed, Michael Bérubé himself. Bérubé's thesis is straightforward. Much of the opposition to the war, from writers like Chomsky and Alexander Cockburn sucked. And it sucked because these people adhered to a simplistic narrative in which the US was always evil, and intervention abroad was always imperialism under a thin facade of respect for human rights. What Bérubé calls the "Manichean Left" actually made it more difficult to mobilize against the Iraq war, because it provided pro-war writers with an excuse to brand all opponents on the war as crazy.

How We Operate
What is the Forest Service?
The Forest Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a federal agency that manages public lands in national forests and grasslands. The Forest Service is also the largest forestry research organization in the world, and provides technical and financial assistance to State and private forestry agencies. Gifford Pinchot, the first Chief of the Forest, summed up the mission of the Forest Service— "to provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run."
National forests are America's Great Outdoors. They encompass 193 million acres (78 million hectares) of land, which is an area equivalent to the size of Texas. National forests provide opportunities for recreation in open spaces and natural environments. With more and more people living in urban areas, national forests are becoming more important and valuable to Americans. People enjoy a wide variety of activities on national forests, including backpacking in remote, unroaded wilderness areas, mastering an all-terrain vehicle over a challenging trail, enjoying the views along a scenic byway, or fishing in a great trout stream, to mention just a few.
When and why was the Forest Service established?
Congress established the Forest Service in 1905 to provide quality water and timber for the Nation's benefit. Over the years, the public has expanded the list of what they want from national forests and grasslands. Congress responded by directing the Forest Service to manage national forests for additional multiple uses and benefits and for the sustained yield of renewable resources such as water, forage, wildlife, wood, and recreation. Multiple use means managing resources under the best combination of uses to benefit the American people while ensuring the productivity of the land and protecting the quality of the environment.
Who are the people of the Forest Service?
The Forest Service has a workforce of approximately 30,000 employees that reflects the full range of diversity of the American people. This includes cultural and disciplinary diversity, as well as diversity in skills and abilities. In the summer, the numbers increase to meet additional needs for services by the recreating public. If you are a high school or college student, senior citizen or interested volunteer, there are opportunities for you in the Forest Service.

i wonder if her husband had one of those bad dream where his wife eat him....
He's probably one of those wierd fetishists that gets a kick out of over feeding their wife.
How would the taxpayers have to fork out money for her treatment? I thought people were responsible for their own health bills in the US?
Don't be hatin, she's just going green.
^ As I mentioned, she probably washes once a week with a sponge on a stick. That must help converve water.
On the flip side, I'm sure her methane output more than makes up for this. Ugh.
5-10 years probably. It'll suck for doctors if they have to operate on her, so much fat in the way.
I hope she dies while eating in front of her cam so everyone can watch.

Denver, Colorado - Between April 13 and May 26, some 12,000 hunters will take to the fields and woods in Colorado as part of one of the fastest growing hunting sports in the United States – turkey hunting. Colorado hunters pursue turkeys on both private and public land during the 44-day spring season.
Last year, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued over 15,000 licenses for the spring season and hunters bagged 3,300 gobblers.
Colorado is home to two subspecies of wild turkeys. The Merriam's wild turkey, a Colorado native, inhabits areas of ponderosa pine, oak-brush and piñon/juniper woodlands of the southeastern plains, Front Range and western Colorado. The Rio Grande wild turkey, native to the central plains states, was introduced into eastern Colorado in 1980. In Colorado, the Rio Grande primarily inhabits cottonwood stands and river bottoms adjacent to agricultural lands.
During the spring season, hunters can take two bearded turkeys of which one must be taken with a limited license, and the other taken with an over-the-counter license.
The challenge of outsmarting a wild turkey is one of the most rewarding experiences a hunter may encounter.
"Success is often a combination of scouting, persistence, and patience; but that's what makes it fun and challenging," said Mike Brown, a District Wildlife Manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages 42 state parks, more than 300 state wildlife areas, all of Colorado's wildlife, and a variety of outdoor recreation. For more information (on Colorado Turkey Season) go to cpw.state.co.us.

2Jan 26, '12 by littlegreenfrogwhat about the hospitals where you did your clinicals - do you have any connections there? Clinicals is the BEST TIME to network and meet people and try to get a job. I got my first job out of school on a floor I did clinicals on - I worked my ass off, introduced myself to the supervisor and all of the nurses, made the nurses/CNAs my friends on Facebook and told them I WANT TO WORK HERE WHEN I GRADUATE pretty much every shift. I showed them that I could work hard and was open to learning. I got that job.
So, if you are in school, NETWORK NETWORK NETWORK. It is truly not what you know, but WHO you know.
Good luck people!on eagles wings and sjoe like this. -
0Feb 20, '12 by sjoeYeah well good luck getting into the VA. That's where everyone would like to be--everyone with an interest in security, good training, good benefits, good pay, etc. that is.
Try corrections (jails and prisons). They are all required by law to have medical personnel and I found them much safer places to work in than mental hospitals, for example. -
0Feb 20, '12 by sjoeQuote from BChapp3182Check out corrections nursing.I know your pain! I am a new grad nurse practitioner and got my license in Aug, been looking for a job every day since and NOTHING!! It's depressing. I've even started applying to jobs in Orlando, Tampa area (I live in broward), decided I would commute up there to do shift work if I could get it, rent a small apartment even. Still nothing.
It's Florida and the bad economy. Plus there are too many nurses here from what a recruiter told me. Too many nurses and too few jobs. My classmate moved to TX, had a job in 5 weeks making $90k at a retail clinic, that same job here pays $15k LESS, yet the cost of living here is almost 20% MORE!! I don't know how the employers get away with it. I guess because they know if we say, I won't work for such a low wage there are 10 people behind us who will... -
0Apr 17, '12 by AQEELSMOMHiya, Im a canadian and will be moving to Miami this summer to pursue an RN at MDC, then plan to upgrade to BSN. I get 1 year to work in the states after completing my RN, and am wondering about job prospects as well.
I am a Registered Massage Therapist and completed a 2 year program here in Canada, I have been working in a therapeutic setting alongside physios and chiros for the past 2 years doing rehab/remedial/sports massage, so have clinical experience and a solid knowledge base already. I am also currently working on completing Yoga Teacher Training.
Do you all think that this kind of experience will give me an edge when applying for jobs? I understand that massage education in the states is pretty limited - Ontario and BC have the highest level of required education for MTs in the world, clocking in at 2000 hours. I've also kept up with training and have taken a variety of other courses since getting my license. Im hoping to make the most out of my 1 year work experience term and land a good job! I am hoping that recruiters wont poo poo my massage background, as it was a pretty intense schooling experience....(I just watched "The Client List" with Jennifer Love Hewitt and cringed all the way through!) -
0Apr 17, '12 by pnlu007im considering to move to fort lauderdale after i finish my absn next year...ive found a bunch of articles conducted by the Florida Center for Nursing, claiming 15000 shortage of nurses in 2012...you guys finding this to be true? thrue various searches im finding a handful of Fl hospitals accepting new grad residency applications...you guys finding any luck out there?

MUMBAI: Karankumar Kakkar's family is convinced that with the crime branch probing his murder, they will get justice. The family, whose initial complaints about the missing producer were taken lightly by local police, said they have provided all help to the crime branch to build a strong case against the murder accused.
Kakkar's brother Hanish said, "The local police didn't pay heed to my request about my brother's disappearance, otherwise Arunkumar Tikku's killing could have been averted. The crime branch has investigated the case well, which gives us hope to get justice for my brother."
Vijay Palande and Dhananjay Shinde allegedly killed Kakkar at his rented flat in Andheri's Oberoi Springs on March 5. They chopped his body into pieces and dumped it at Kumbharli ghat near Chiplun. Later, the accused parked Kakkar's BMW in Pune and used his ATM card in Mumbai and Bangkok.
When Kakkar didn't answer their calls, his family approached Amboli police and asked them to investigate his disappearance, but with no result. Hanish even managed to get CCTV footage from a Malad mall where Palande and Shinde had used Kakkar's ATM card. But the Amboli police didn't bother to investigate it and sat on the complaint for a month.
Every time Hanish requested the officer to follow up the case, he was told that his brother must have flown out of the country without informing the family and would return back after a few days.
Investigations into Kakkar's case started a month later, only when Oshiwara police arrested Vijay Palande, his associates Dhananjay Shinde and Manoj Gajkosh and wife Simran Sood for the murder of businessman Arunkumar Tikku.
The case was transferred to the crime branch for further investigation, and it was then that Shinde and Palande who confessed to police that they had killed Kakkar. Palande told police that he had killed Kakkar for his vehicle and valuables. Shinde helped police recover Kakkar's torso from Kumbharli ghat.
Kakkar's torso is with the forensic experts for the examination and the family will claim it for the last rites after the examination which will take time. Hanish took his brother's BMW back with him to Delhi.

1983-84 Boston Celtics
Celtics 109, Bucks 99
Record 50-16
March 17, 1984
You could dismiss it by saying that it was played in Boston Garden against the NBA's answer to "On Golden Pond," but for Celtics fans, there was something very encouraging about last night's 109-99 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics took charge down the stretch, overcame a big chill (six points) performance by Robert Parish, and discovered white lightning in the backcourt. Larry Bird scored 28 and Dennis Johnson came through with 22, but let the record show that this game was won when the unlikely backcourt duo of Scott Wedman and Danny Ainge took over in the fourth quarter.
"We got very large help from Wedman and Danny Ainge," said coach K.C. Jones. "Somebody on the squad of 12 men had to come in and pick up the action. Danny and Scott did that for us tonight." Early in the final quarter, Junior Bridgeman tied the game for the last time - 81-81. Then Wedman and Ainge put it away with a 9-2 run. Wedman got it going with a fast-break banker off a feed from Ainge. After Sidney Moncrief (only 14 points) missed a layup, Aingecanned an 18-footer from the right sideline.
Bob Lanier (18) scored for the Bucks, and Milwaukee got the ball back on a Paul Pressey steal. When Marques Johnson (26) lost it out of bounds on a drive to the basket, Bird took advantage of the quick inbounds rule, feeding Wedman for a sneakaway. Then Wedman stole a Pressey pass and Ainge buried a three- pointer from the left corner. Boston led, 90-83, Don Nelson called time and the Garden exploded.
"I think it was our defense that did it for us," said Ainge, who finished with nine points and hit four of six from the floor. "Scott and I had the open shots and they were going down for us, but the defense created the openings." "When you get in and hit a couple, you're looking for it more than you would at first," added Wedman, who scored 13 on six for nine. "I thought we got rolling pretty well. We got some off the break and then went outside. Maybe they weren't looking for us as much from the outside."
After the Ainge-Wedman torch job, Marques (26) closed the gap to four (99-95) with 2:48 left. Milwaukee couldn't get any closer. Bird (12 rebounds and five assists) pushed it back to six with a lefthander in the lane. When Marques lost the ball on a drive to the basket, Cedric Maxwell found Bird open underneath and it was 103-95 with 2:04 left. After another Buck timeout, Bridgeman tossed up an airball, and DJ canned one from the left corner to seal it for the Celts. "That was serious," said a smiling DJ. "I kept my hand up and everything."
DJ was Boston's highest-scoring guard, but Ainge and Wedman were the toast of the postgame celebration. Both have been silent lately. Ainge had played only 15 minutes and scored two points in the last four games. Wedman had yet to score more than 10 in games other than the ones Bird missed with injuries. They played more last night because of Gerald Henderson's calf injury (he kept the streak going with seven minutes in the first quarter) and Jones' thirst for experimentation.
"Danny handled the ball well and shot with authority," said Jones. "And I feel confident with Wedman at guard. He needs this type of work, both physically and mentally, to get into shape for the playoffs. And we need his outside shooting." "It doesn't surprise me that Scott Wedman is able to make a jump shot," said Nelson. "He's very good at that." The victory was Boston's fourth in five tries against Milwaukee and improved Boston's record against the Central Division to a phenomenal 24-2.

The controversy has also led to dueling surveys of trail users. Wallach touts the city's survey, taken over two days last summer, which favors the concrete expansion by a wide margin. Local resident Bob Heiser, a marketing professor at Metropolitan State College of Denver, conducted his own survey on the trail over two and a half weeks, in varying weather conditions; the results indicate a solid majority of users surveyed oppose a wider concrete trail.
"We consider that to be a more representative user range," Heiser says. "Their survey was flawed, and we think the city's been using a rubber ruler in marking out this project all along."
LaMar views the push for more paving as a kind of bureaucratic fiat. "I can't explain why this is happening, except that Mayor Webb wants to go out as the guy who improved all the trails in Denver," she says. But Wallach counters that it's simply a case of one user group's concerns having to give way to the rising demand for the great outdoors in a big city.
"If this was a street that was being expanded into a regional highway, I would say these people have a great point," Wallach says. "But the trail's going to stay pretty much the same. There are going to be more users on the trail. But from a citywide perspective, that's not a problem--it's the goal."
Will the High Line become a one-horse trail? The stakeholder group, which consists of neighborhood representatives as well as advocates for bicycle, rollerblade, equestrian and citywide recreation interests, is expected to make a recommendation concerning the trail next month, after a public meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. on May 1 at Place Middle School.

A blood clot (thrombus) may form in the body, break-off, and travel to the brain through a carotid artery and the circle of Willis.
Part 4
The blood clot may block the passage of blood through a brain artery, depriving nearby tissue of oxygen and nutrients. The result is a stroke.

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.

Iraqi lawmakers attending a parliamentary session on Nov. 11
Editor's Note: The following is an internal STRATFOR document produced
to provide high-level guidance to our analysts. This document is not a
forecast, but rather a series of guidelines for understanding and
evaluating events, as well as suggestions on areas for focus.
New Guidance
1. Iraq: We are finally close to the formation of an Iraqi government.
Maybe. It appears an understanding has been met, and the gridlock that
has prevented the government from taking shape may finally be over, at
least for now. It is time to take a closer look at several issues,
including how the various factions have balanced, what strength Iran
retains, and the degree of confidence the United States has in the new
political structure. We also need to consider whether this means
Washington can move forward with plans for withdrawal, or if it makes an
extended military role for the United States in Iraq more likely. As
with any compromise, one must also be aware of the parties that lost
out, and see if those parties are likely to retaliate, either
politically or through militant proxies.
2. NATO, Russia: NATO will meet in Lisbon, and Russian President Dmitri
Medvedev will attend. Although the new "Strategic Concept" is not
expected to break any real new ground, look for any signs of leadership
and differences in shaping the future focus of NATO. Also, watch for how
Russia may play up possible divisions among NATO members.
3. Venezuela: There are signs of concern within the regime as Caracas
gauges the potential fallout from the continued detention of captured
drug kingpin Walid Makled in Colombia. We need to probe deeply into what
is happening in Caracas, watching in particular for fissures within the
armed forces and upper ranks of the regime.
Existing Guidance
1. Asia, U.S.: U.S. President Barack Obama is finishing up a trip to
India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan, for discussions on bilateral
issues, the G-20 and Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. At a time
when the United States attempts to "re-engage" with several East Asian
countries, there is increased attention from Russia on East Asia and a
perception regionally that China is growing more assertive. We need to
understand better just what the U.S. re-engagement is all about, how
serious and capable Russia is about expanding its role in the
Asia-Pacific region, and how China responds to these potential
2. Pakistan, Afghanistan: Recent weeks have seen a dramatic increase in
statements from Afghan, Pakistani, American and NATO officials about
negotiations between the Karzai government and the Taliban. Most
noteworthy, U.S. and NATO officials said they were facilitating such
talks by providing safe passage to Taliban representatives. This comes
at a time when there has been an increase in International Security
Assistance Force claims of success against the Taliban in the form of
U.S. special operations forces killing key field operatives and leaders.
How high do these talks really go, and more importantly, what actual
impact is it having on the Taliban's strategic thinking? The status and
nature of these negotiations - who are the key players (particularly,
where does Pakistan stand in all of this), what are the key points of
contention, and most important, are the Taliban serious about
negotiating - is of central importance.

(PHILADELPHIA) Exposure to lead can hinder the brains ability to recover from injury, a recent study in laboratory animals shows. The results have implications for the effects of environmental lead exposure on brain injuries such as stroke, say researchers at Jefferson Medical College, who led the work.
Lead exposure early in life is known to increase the risk for cancer, renal disease, hypertension and cardiovascular disease later in life, and as a result, also increases the risk for stroke and brain damage. Jay Schneider, Ph.D., professor of Pathology, Anatomy and Cell Biology and Neurology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and postdoctoral fellow Emmanuel Decamp, Ph.D., wanted to know if it was possible that lead might alter the potential for plasticity, the ability of the brain to compensate for an injury. They studied young rats that were fed a diet supplemented with lead and compared them to others on a diet without lead. In earlier work in the lab, they found that even brief exposures to lead affected neurotrophic factors in the brain important for growth and maintenance of neurons and their connections.
They ran each group through some simple behavioral tests before causing a small stroke in a specific part of the brain that affected a hind limb. Reporting in the journal NeuroToxicology, Dr. Schneider, who is director of the Parkinsons Disease Research Unit at Thomas Jefferson University, and his group saw significant recovery after a brief period of time in the control group, as compensatory processes take over, though the limb function was not completely back to normal.
In contrast, those animals that were exposed to lead earlier in life had worse outcomes in the same period after the stroke, he says. There was significant difference in the brains ability to compensate for that injury.
Because the study was brief, he says, they dont know if in a longer period of time
