CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
Our coasts are used for many purposes including recreation and tourism.
The Coastal Collaboration Cluster – a major three-year research program – will develop approaches to better connect science with the needs of governments, communities and industries to meet coastal challenges.
Our coasts are used for many purposes such as urban and industrial development, fishing, recreation and tourism, marine protected areas, ports and dredging, and offshore oil and gas developments.
They also face mounting pressure from population growth and climate change.
Using techniques such as Google Earth and custom-built animations, the CSIRO National Research Flagship Coastal Collaboration Cluster will focus on making scientific, community, indigenous and managerial knowledge available to coastal policy-makers and planners.
In doing this the Cluster will:
The Cluster will encourage better collaboration between scientists and decision-makers, so that research outcomes can be more easily used in coastal-zone management.
Initiated through CSIRO's Flagship Collaboration Fund, the Coastal Collaboration Cluster will integrate diverse social sciences to investigate how to help coastal communities maintain economic and social values while using ecosystems more sustainably.
The cluster's research will extend over southern Australia, from the south-west of Western Australia to South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and south-east Queensland.
Researchers will look at the most effective ways of communicating between groups, and will then work with these groups to gather information for improved coastal planning.
As part of their research, the partners will engage with:
Workshops, surveys and interviews will be used to gather information.
The partners will undertake research in different locations then pool their information to generate a big-picture result.
The results will be published on a website for everyone to use, including the public, coastal stakeholders and scientists.
The Cluster brings together researchers from across Australia with a wide range of expertise.
Professor David Wood from the Curtin University of Technology leads the cluster. The other research partners are:

Rihanna hit up the swanky Rose Bar in New York City on May 10 for a wild night and didn't hesitate to rub it in Chris' face. The Twitter battle rages on!
You don't want to see Rihanna mad, especially if your name is Chris Brown. The Unapologetic singer continued to call out Chris on Twitter while she and a group of girlfriends partied hard in New York City.
Rihanna To Chris Brown: 'Chu Ain't A King'
RiRi sent out yet another confrontational tweet in the early morning of May 11, still in throes of a night out. "Got a thang for King, but chu ain't a King!!!" she posted. The tweet was sent out along with an Instagram picture of Rihanna looking super sultry sitting in the dark with a martini.
The 25-year-old singer seemed to be calling out Chris on his ego and further stating that she doesn't need him at all.
And by the looks of her wild night out, she's right. An eyewitness tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Rihanna was going hard at the Rose Bar, an upscale lounge located inside the Gramercy Hotel in New York City.
Rihanna and a group of her friends were partying to the max, the insider says, totally "living it up and having a great time." The eyewitness also says that there weren't any guys in the mix, just a handful of girls helping their friend forget an ex.
Rihanna & Chris Brown's Twitter Fight
The feud that has been bubbling between Chris and Rihanna since their split came to a head on May 10 when Chris posted his most overt Twitter diss yet. "She's not mine if she's everybody else's," the R&B star tweeted.
The insinuation that Rihanna is involved with multiple men is totally insulting, and a classic ex-boyfriend accusation. We all knew Rihanna wasn't going to let it slide, and her retaliation is sure to twist the knife in Chris' broken heart even more.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

In the first place, riri known Chris has a thing for ladies and he is younger than her, he also was very much hesitant about getting back into relation she actually forced him into it took him away from trans.he was very concern about riri drinking and recovering from her family lost. So he took that into consideration and got back with her she should not try to hurt his career for this situation. Why is she alway taking out her angers on Chris Brown. Just take all your problems to Jesus Christ he can solve them all. Don't take your inner pain out on Chris he had enough. Love thy neighbor as thy self.

Chris Brown ruined his own career, If you are not convinced go Google Chris Brown 2009. Or just Google him in general and you will come to your senses. If you are waiting for his career to blow up EVEN after using Rihanna this last year you will be waiting your whole life. If I were Chris Brown I might want to blame RiRi and try and use and hurt her too. Put yourself in Chris's shoes and see if you could handle seeing Rihanna slay the music industry. I bet it would keep you up at night thinking of ways to hurt Rihanna. He really hates himself but it gets directed towards Rihanna.

Ronnie's you are the dumbest girl on the planet. If you really cared about someone maybe you should try another method instead of drinking and taking drugs maybe you should try a healthier method? Like talking to friends or counseling or church? Oh wait. Rihanna doesn't do none of that. Probably thats why she look so miserable?lol.plus Rihanna don't got friends like Kae has to lean on.

I agree with @ January as much as she is a big superstar she needs to humble herself in her relationships and with family, she can learn a thing or two from Beyonce. Thou she didnt cheat the naked and smoking pics yes i agree she is overdoing it she needs to relax and realise people like her for her music and looks and stop looking for too much attention. Yes no man can put up with that whole crap of her being the superstar & boss in the relationship and a toxic lifestyle. She just brought a lot of unnecessary baggage in that relationship, tweeting about their relationship, putting herself out there and herself & relationship under scrutiny. She needs to relax, be a lady & be private. I know people have their own opinions abt her but i can say i can relate better to Kae she"s just the girl next door, so cute,loyal, humbled, doesn't run her mouth whenever she"s upset &she's always there for her partner. Rih needs to humble herself too CB isnt the only one who's wrong here.

Rihanna needs to Grow Up!!! Whatever the beef, Chris has already put it out there in song that he loves her. If Rihanna loves Chris as she claims, then why let some small B.S. come between them. It's not like Chris is phucking the Karrueche girl, nor dating her, nor wining or dining her or writing songs about her. He invited her as well as other friends to one or two parties. It's not that big of a deal. Me thinks Rihanna needs to stop making demands and chill out and enjoy being with her man while she has the time. Chris needs to grow up also, he's got a beautiful girlfriend whose in his corner a hundred percent. He needs to enjoy her and chill with the Karrueche sh"t. Rihanna is not throwing parties inviting her ex Mat Kemp, so in all fairness, neither should Chris be inviting his ex to parties if his girlfriend is not cool with it. All things have to be fair and balanced some degree. No one can have a fresh start while harboring a lot of pent up anger inside.Couples need to communicate and leave the attitudes and anger at the door. If they can't communicate like adults, then its better to just go their separate ways rather than play stupid mind games! Just Saying!

I say come by assateague va for this swell. I just got out of the water 2 hours ago.
I surfed with the MD ponies tonight. There were about six guys in the water including me. Stayed out 'til 30 minutes past dark. Lots of fun.
I was duck diving with a duck. I think he was enjoying himself/ or her. Then i got to watch the pelicans use the waves to catch the ride back south. And at the same time watch the sun set a deep glowing orange, while the lighthouse light kicked on and did its thing. Then topped it off with a dogfish punkin ale. Life is good.

Don't lose hope, it's supposed to get a bit better this afternoon w/ the lower tide albeit stronger west winds... cross your fingers
I hope the forecast holds out for later in the week....

"If foot fetish videos of your wife surface online, and the voice of the cameraman sounds like you, just admit that it was you ... because the alternative is that someone else was filming foot fetish videos of your wife, and I'm pretty sure that's worse." - Bill Simmons's enduring lesson to Rex Ryan.
some teams lose key guys and others don't. we lost our most valuable guys on O and D, again we played most of the year on O w/ Kerley, Schilens, Gates, Cumberland, reuland as our main weapons in the pass game. GB or Wash didn't lose enough guys for that. Gb has more depth at WR and an elite QB, it's easier for them to overcome but they never lost the amount of key guys we lost.
Injuries are part of the game though so we lost guys and lost games, we lost a bunch in '09 & '10 and overcame, this year we weren't good enough to overcome.

Veteran vocalist and teacher K. Venkataramanan is all smiles when he speaks about his long career in music. A rare musician who has no complains whatsoever about awards, recognitions, concerts and programmes that may or may not have come his way. He says he believes in doing his duty and giving it his best without waiting to see what the rewards are. The 77-year-old emphasises that he sees each of his achievements as the blessings of his gurus, parents and god. Photographs of his concert in Kuthiramalika in Thiruvananthapuram during the Swati Sangeetotsavam of 2012 have pride of place on the walls of his house along with a grainy black-and-white photograph of him receiving an award from Rajendra Prasad, the President of India. Excerpts from an interview…
The boy from Mangalore
We hail from Mangalore. After I finished my class ten, I told my mother, Bhageerathi, that I planned to go to Hyderabad to search for a job, perhaps in a hotel. My father, Kannarayn Krishna Sastri, was then working in Thiruvananthapuram as a priest for the royal family of erstwhile Travancore. He wanted to know if I was interested in learning music. When I replied in the affirmative, he told me to come to Thiruvananthapuram, the centre of Carnatic music in Kerala, and enrol as a student in the Swati music college. I reached the capital city in 1951. But by then the admissions had closed. However, the then Principal of the college, none other than Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, was kind enough to meet me. He wanted me to sing what I had learnt. When he came to know that I had not learnt music, he told me to study the basics of Carnatic music and apply the next year. I did as he advised and in '52, joined as a student in the college.
Learning from titans
Legends worked as teachers in the college. Nellai T.V. Krishnamoorthy, whom I consider as my guru, N.V. Narayana Bhagavathar, C.S. Krishna Iyer and Kallidaikurichi K.S. Harihara Iyer were some of them. In the fourth year, Semmangudi himself used to take one-hour classes for us.
In the service of music
After I passed the four-year Ganabhushan course, I participated in an all-India competition conducted by All India Radio. I went on to win the first prize and went to Delhi to receive the award from the then President of India Rajendra Prasad himself. It was the very first time that AIR was conducting such a competition for up-and-coming Carnatic vocalists. Later, I did my post-diploma in music and was selected as a music teacher by the Department of Education. I worked there for eight years, before joining my alma mater as a lecturer. Altogether, I served as a teacher of music for 31 years. My legion of students is my biggest strength and hearing them sing correctly is my biggest reward.
Listening and practice
Both are very important. There are lots of talented youngsters today. But they lack proper guidance and practice. When they should be listening and practising their skills, they are launched on to concert platforms. As a result, I feel that concerts have lost their quality and depth, everything has become lighter. Even today, I listen to concerts sung by veterans and newcomers. Even a child might be able to teach you something new. It is imperative to keep learning. Right now, I am learning a new composition to sing at Tirupati, where I have a concert.
Yen for Purandaradasa
His compositions are in Kannada and maybe that is why I have a leaning towards that, considering that I hail from Karnataka. I have also scored some of his kritis. Once, when I sang in Mangalore, a rasika approached me with a request to tune the compositions of Haridas Laxminarayanaappaya of South Karnataka. By the grace of god, I was able to tune 200 of his kritis and present them too at different concerts. I was also able to notate several kritis in Tulu.
Favourite ragas, musicians
All the ragas are close to my heart. But maybe Kalyani, Kalyanavasantham and Thodi would be little high on my list of ragas. I sang Kalyani for the competition conducted by AIR in 1956 and even now it is a favourite of mine. I am a great fan of legendary singers such as Musiri Subramania Iyer, Semmangudi, Chembai, G.N.B., M.L. Vasantakumari, Madurai Mani Iyer…
Modern-day concerts
The brevity of time for a concert is certainly cause for concern. I feel that at least one hour should be devoted to the main item in a recital. Then the sub main can have a raga visthara and swarams and the other numbers can have either one or the other. A concert should be like a traditional sadya – a sumptuous blend of different tastes, textures and flavours. Much in the same way, a concert should have a blend of different ragas in different talas and tempo, different kritis and so on. I am not much in favour of eka raga concerts.
A teacher first and foremost
I enjoy teaching as it enables you to keep practising and learning too. Performances are opportunities to test your learning and potential. I still continue to teach as a guest lecturer for senior students.
Memorable concerts
I have given several concerts in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Last year, I sang at the Navaratri Mandapam in Thiruvananthapuram for the first time. It was on the ninth day of the festival and I had to sing Arabhi. I was terribly nervous. This is a place where legends have performed. But I was told that I did a good job. In January this year, I got the opportunity to give a recital at the Kuthiramalika in the capital city. That must be the most memorable one. I felt it was better than all the awards I could possibly get! I will be singing in the Navarathri Mandapam this year too.

Ferraris rivals will get the chance to run alongside the new 248 F1 later this week after the Italian team opted to switch testing venues.
The new car was launched at Mugello on Tuesday, where Michael Schumacher commenced a test programme, putting in 44 laps in low temperatures to clock a best time of 1m 21.904s.
Ferrari had planned to continue at the Tuscan circuit, but based on forecasts of worsening weather conditions in the area, they will know switch to Barcelona, venue for this weeks multi-team test.
Commenting on his first impressions of the new car, Schumacher said: "It has already given positive results in the little testing that it has been possible to carry out here. Despite the fact that only a few laps were run, the car seemed well balanced and enjoyable to drive even though it is less powerful."
Ferrari and Schumacher will resume work with the new car on Thursday.

Places To See In Paris
So, you have finally decided to take that trip to Paris. Before you pack your bags, activate the ADT security Baton Rouge service, say goodbye to the neighbors and hit the road you are going to want to take a look at this list I've put together. You may find that Paris has quite a few things for you to see and do, but having an idea of what you're looking for can help immeasurably in the long run.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Moulin Rouge – The hottest show in France and possibly even all of the European Union, the Moulin Rouge is truly a treat for all the senses and all of the appetites. Live performances will get your heart racing as you enjoy fine food and fine dancing.
2. Eiffel Tower – This one is pretty obvious. Get a feel for fine French architecture and take a journey all the way to the top for a romantic and engaging view over the whole of Paris. They don't call it the city of love for nothing.
And those are just a couple ideas to get you going. There is plenty more to see and do and you shouldn't miss a second of it.

You are here: Southwark \ CYCLIST'S DEATH AT ELEPHANT AND CASLE ROUNDABOUT AN ACCIDENT SAYS CORONER
20 November 2009
John Prendergast
The death of a cyclist who collided with a lorry at the Elephant and Castle roundabout has been ruled an accident by Southwark Coroner's Court.
Meryem Ozekman, 37, was killed in April when she came together with a lorry turning left from London Road onto Newington Causeway.
Family and friends of the fitness instructor, who worked at a number of Fusion centres across the borough, packed the court in Tennis Street last Thursday.
Meryem's father Mehmet Kohman, and daughter Neslihan Ozekman, both gave statements to the court explaining Meryem was an experienced cyclist, and on the day was in good health and was in no rush to get anywhere.
Mr Kohman and his wife had flown in from Cyprus just days before the accident on April 8. He said: "We came back on April 5 and my wife spoke to her on the Sunday. We planned to see her, but the accident happened on April 8. We never saw her as it was such a short time in coming back from Cyprus. It is very distressing and I still feel the pain today."
Neslihan told the court her mother was a bubbly character who was very active, and knew the routes she was taking very well. When asked how healthy she thought her mother was she stated Meryem was in 'Tip Top' condition.
Mark Ellis, the driver of the lorry involved, also took to the stand and explained he had 24 years' experience of driving HGVs. He confirmed his lorry has been fully checked in the week before the incident, and he had cleaned and checked his mirrors on the day itself.
The court heard the first Mr Ellis knew a cyclist was near his vehicle was when he spotted a flash of a high-resolution jacket in one of his six mirrors.
He immediately applied the brakes and stopped a few yards away, as he was travelling in heavy traffic at the time, and was going only a few miles an hour.
He added: "I stopped and I saw a bus driver with his hands over his mouth. Then I got out of the cab and went to the incident. I did not realise what was under my lorry. It was not until I made my way around the back that I saw what had happened."
Crucial evidence was given by the investigating officer, PC Victoria Benbow. She explained that marks made on the wheel arch of the lorry, and on the road itself, led her to believe the 37-year-old had lost control of the bike before she hit the lorry.
Barry Mason, Coordinator for Southwark Cyclists, said: "Southwark Cyclists ask yet again for these roads to be made much safer, for yet more awareness campaigns for all, and for all of us to ask why such huge motorway lorries are allowed into central London. The world is diminished by the loss of this bright and lovely woman, and our thoughts are very much with her family. The lorry driver has suffered too and our thoughts are also with him."
Assistant Deputy Coroner Andrew Harris described the incident as a 'tragedy' and indicated he was a cyclist himself. He recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Governor Rendell Says PA Still Seeks Public Input on Federal Broadband Stimulus Funds
Governor Rendell Says PA Still Seeks Public Input on Federal Broadband Stimulus Funds
Public Meetings to Be Held in Harrisburg, Bedford and Philadelphia; Written Comments Also Welcomed
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — There is still time for the public to offer input on how Pennsylvania can best use federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to deploy broadband throughout the state, Governor Edward G. Rendell said today.
Three public meetings are scheduled between now and Wednesday, June 3, said the Governor, who also noted that written comments may be submitted, as well.
"Ready access to high-speed, broadband Internet gives businesses an essential edge in today's highly competitive economic climate," Governor Rendell said. "High-speed Internet is a critical element for our businesses to compete in global markets and for our students to compete for the very best jobs.
"The federal broadband stimulus funds will add to the aggressive strategy Pennsylvania already has in place. By putting Pennsylvania citizens in the driver's seat we are ensuring that these supplementary funds are being utilized to their fullest potential."
The statewide outreach sessions are designed to share information with local leaders, businesses, citizens and economic development organizations about the available opportunities with federal broadband stimulus money. Additionally, the meetings will discuss unserved/underserved areas, broadband to public safety agencies, eligible applicants, and the needs of communities and businesses.
The Office of Administration and the Department of Community and Economic Development are hosting the meetings. The stimulus funds will be distributed through two federal agencies: the Department of Commerce National Telecommunication and Information Administration and the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities services.
Governor Rendell has committed to ensuring that the public is able to monitor and provide feedback on how federal recovery dollars are being used by providing news, up-to-date information and regular reports at www.recovery.pa.gov.
The Rendell administration is committed to creating a first-rate public education system, protecting our most vulnerable citizens and continuing economic investment to support our communities and businesses.

Lawmakers were finally able to pass a bill that helped the country avoid the fiscal cliff — an event that was expected to send the U.S. back into a recession. "The one thing that I think hopefully in the new year we'll focus on is seeing if we can put a package like this together with a little bit less drama, a little bit less brinksmanship, not scare the heck out of folks quite as much," said President Obama, in an address following the passage of the bill.
- In a late-night vote on Tuesday, the House passed a bill — sent over from the Senate in the initial hours after the new year — that helped the United States avert the dreaded fiscal cliff. The bill delays budget cuts for two months and Bush-era income tax cuts are unaffected for individuals earning less than $400,000 or couples earning less than $450,000.
- Avid savers can start making contributions in their retirement accounts for the 2013 tax year (if you expect to have earned income this year). In 2013, the contribution limits for many retirement accounts, including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs and 401(k) plans, have increased — meaning you can save more in these accounts.
- Regulators are about to finalize a $10 billion settlement with 14 banks, which have been accused of unfair foreclosure practices that may have led to a large number of evictions, according to the New York Times. Under the settlement, $3.5 billion will be returned to people who already lost their homes.
- Americans should begin watching out for tax documents in the mail and prepare financial records for the upcoming tax season. Employers have until the end of the month to send out your tax forms — they usually come in late January but don't be surprised if they arrive sooner.
- As we've said earlier, consumers could encounter fees for using their credit cards in certain states starting this month. According to consumer advocacy group Consumer Action, retailers in 40 states could begin imposing credit-card surcharges beginning Jan. 27.

Google Referals Down and Dropping More
Msg#: 4177890 posted

(gmt 0)
I have gotten a feeling of paranoia recently, with regard to Goog...
I run a clean site. It is a large, informational site. Sure, I have links to Amazon and such where appropriate, but I make most of my income from ads. My site is deep, with about 110K main topics covered. From each of those, there is probably 4-6 sub pages. Original content, no penalties ever. Been on the web over ten years, and generally considered an authority site I guess.
So, since March, I have seen a slow but steady bleed off of referrals from Goog. Late April there was a big hit- maybe 15 % in a week right there. I look at my logs, and I see it continuing, albeit a bit slower.... but still loosing traffic.
So I have not been sitting idly by. I have gone over my site, and refined it. I have made my meta tags much more accurate and on point. I redesigned my title tags to be more informative (took out the site name, added what I considered more pertinent info). With 110K pages, it is a little hit and miss with my CMS to get accurate tags across all my different data types, but I think I have done well in that regard.
I crawl my site, and make XML feeds of my updated pages for Goog, and give them to her. I have also added a new series of pages (on the order of 110K x 4) so there is new, fresh stuff.
Goog is taking the feeds. They show 878K pages sent, 420K in google, which is higher that it ever has been. A "site:my.site" check on Goog shows 106 results (a month ago, this was 130K, a year ago, 200K)> I have addressed most concerns in Web Master Tools (dup titles, dup meta tags), have no crawl errors. Goog shows 30K pages a day crawled, and this looks to be headed up, while my time spent to d/l a page is dropping.
It seems like I am doing everything right, and I am still bleeding traffic. I am at a loss of what to do. If someone would care to see my site, I am happy to PM it to you. ANy ideas what I can do?

I think- here- the "nuclear option is appropriate. I essentially changed mysite.com/coloring/17766-lion.html to mysite.com/colors/17766-lion.html IF there was a color field.... and create no link if there is not. So now ALL "coloring" links are 410ed... they will not be coming back ever. The animals with coloring fields now have a "colors" page... and as I add more "colors", they too will have the new page.
I also think because I am limited in not being able to 404 specific pages in my CSM, I need to do all or nothing in a link scheme. So I plan on going forward with the new scheme, so I think the 410 is appropriate.
I also read that other post about 404's causing problems. My read on that was LINKING to pages that are not there. I have removed my links... i think (HOPE!) there is a difference in that to Goog.

drop a page address from my hosting account for any reason. If a page needs to have the content eliminated, I create a very simple frame (with a 30px top nav and with target="_top" for the 5 or 6 primary links in that thin frame), save it with the same name as the orig page, and point the bottom frame to something relevant within my own site. That keeps the URL valid and presents to the viewer what I want them to see. Have never had a problem doing that, and does not require any redirects.
(I hasten to add however, none of these sites has thousands of pages, so not a lot of time is involved, especially since I use the same frame template whenever necessary).

>>>> I never drop a page address from my hosting account for any reason...
I would just point out that my problem is that I have too many pages in Google for the number of inbound links I have. I NEED to drop addresses. This will kill 150K pages (at least).... and hopefully save the rest of my site.

I'd be willing to wager that spammers have made as many pages out of your content as you have, if not more. As long as that works it will continue to get worse.

>>> I'd be willing to wager that spammers have made as many pages out of your content as you have>>>
I have looked for a knock-off site. Never found one. Mainly just tried searching for special phrases from my site. Nada. I do NOT have RSS feeds, could that be a reason? Also, without getting too technical, I have other protections. You grab a certain number of pages from my site in less than a certain amount of time, and you will not be getting any more pages....
I may not have that problem licked.... but I do not think I have that problem much.
Maybe my head is in the sand though... is there a good way to find someone copying my site?

I had a question regarding content on my site. I had something that MIGHT be considered duplicate data, but really it was a different way of showing thr data.... just wanted your opinion on if this was OK or not...
Back to the animal site analogy.... I have two types of pages. The directory sort of pages (that have sub-directories or animals on it) and the detailed Animal pages. My site's natural hierarchy goes something like:
Mammal >> Species >>>
and then the list of Animals.
So I loooked, and I saw a lot of people searching for "Meat Eaters" and "Omnivores". Since all my Animal pages have this attribute, I used my search function to make these a clickable word, it returns a list of animals that match that term on a modified search page (one "tuned" to meat eater or omnivore, let's say). I did the same for the continent and country of a specific animal.
So I am using my same data, but presenting it in a new way. The ultimate animal pages are still the same.... but I now have "Omnivore" pages and "Africa" pages to augment the natural "Mammal >> Species >>>" hierarchy.
I am NOT doing this to fool goog, I am doing it because I saw a need from my users, a behavior from my users, and I am trying to fill that. But with my duplicate content problem with google... or my too many pages in google diluting my Link Juice, these links were the first to go.
What do you think? Did I remove these too quickly, and should I reinstate them, or are they duplicate and good to be gone?

Sorry- another question.
Someone made a note that my CMS should NOT just forward any page requested.... I should be able to lock out certain pages (like those with no information on them!)
I have been working on that, and actually added a small bit of perl to my CMS to check for certain fields and return an error if those pages do not exist. My problem is that my CMS is a little to smart for me- it returns an error page... but that page is a 200!
Will Goog recognize that is my sites sitewide error page and discount it, or am I gonna have to find a way to force a 404?

No, that won't work. Will further complicate the situation. You need to return the 404 status code. After that you can still have some content on that page explaining what the error was. jdMorgan explains it in this thread
]. Basically, you need to precede any output of your script with
print ("Status: 404 Not Found\n");
. Find the line that executes
print ("Content-Type: text/htm\n\n");
and make sure that the line that contains the 404 status executes

I am a little confused here:
Are they different URLs but (more or less) the same content?
Or is it the same URL and just a different navigation path to get there. Is the final page the same page / URL, but instead of going Mammal > Species > Lion is it a different path like Carnivore > Africa > Lion?

This sounds like "faceted navigation" - a different sorting or filtering of short page summaries that are tagged with the same keyword. Depending on your specific site this could be a good thing, or it could be a big problem. Important key to keep in mind, Google does not want to index search results.

1script: Thanks for the advice. I had already read Jims post, but no matter what I did, I could NOT get it to return a 404. Somehow my system catched the 404 call and replaces that with an "Error on our site" page (which is a 200). I will keep working on that to get it righgt.
Planet 13: They are completely different navigational paths.... The main (normal!) site has a typical hierarchy with a crumb path like:
"Mammal >> Species >>>"
"Avian >> Species >>>"
The Species page will have a list of all the animals in that species... "Mammal" and "Species" are like "Category" pages... the Animal pages are like Detail pages.
Now lets say you go to the Lion page... and on that you see that it is a meat eater. Meat eater is Linked, so you click it, and you get a new page (developed from my search system, but reworked to look like an alternate Category page) that lists all the animals that are meat eaters. Similarly, if you click on the "Africa" link from the Lion page, you are returned a Category Listing of all the animals (Avian, mammal, reptile, etc) that live in Africa. In other words, the same Animal detail pages presented and sorted in a different way.
The results on these pages have the APPEARENT crumb trail of SITE >>> AFRICA and then the list of animals that fit that criteria....
I think Tedster has it right when he calls it "faceted navigation"...

I think Tedster has it right when he calls it "faceted navigation"...
yes, but on those new pages (Africa, for instance) is the content significantly different?
On Africa, would it just have links to the Lion (and other animal pages)?
Or would the content of the Africa page be similar / the same to another page?
That is the part I am not clear on.
as long as the content is unique, I think it is perfectly fine to have that faceted navigation... In fact, I think it is great to have it that way.
is there something else that can be causing your drop in rankings? I am in the same boat and trying to figure out why...

>>> On Africa, would it just have links to the Lion (and other animal pages)?
That is it- just a re-sort of the same Animal detail pages. Just a different way to sort the data. The PRESENTATION is totally different, but the pages linked to are the same. I think it is a useful alternate view- a LOT of people search that way, and that is why I have the alternate view.... but I am afraid it is just more links sucking my Link Juice.
Well, I have worked my CMS and added a check on the existence of fields before producing the sub pages (as suggested on page one on this thread). I have removed the 410 rewrites, and made the Colors => Coloring updates as a 301. Coloring will return a 404 if there is no "Color" field at all, and a new page if it does exist! Thanks for that advice- I think this is a lot better to keep my current good pages active in Google!
Planet13- I would just look for similar pages... or very closly similar pages... and get rid of them. I was lazy about that... and that did not seem to used to matter. Now it is not a race to have as many pages as possible.... it is also filling those pages with non-copied content- even if it is copied from yourself!

RavenDB Conf: Success!
Now that the conference is over ,and I am merely doing 3 back to back RavenDB courses in 3 cities and 2 continents, I can sit back and look at that.
I was, in a word, a blast. We had eight speakers giving 14 talks, about topics that moved from date and time handling in RavenDB to operational concerns to architectural how to. But, to be honest, I think that I found the attendees to be the main attraction. It was really good to finally meet so many of the people we have been talking with over the past few years. And what people are building with RavenDB is flat out amazing, and just a little bit scary. It is a funny thing when I see people take our tool and put it to uses that we have never even imagined.
Another great part was the hackaton. We had, in the space of a few hours, produced a major new feature for RavenDB (distributed counters), with everything wired up: Storage, Wire Protocol and even the UI. We still need to complete the replication bits, but those are coming.
We have recorded the sessions, and we hope to have the edited videos soon. I wanted to take the time and thank the speakers and the attendees for such a great conference .
We'll be seeing you again soon… .
Is there any chance to share this videos as minimum 720p res? I'm restively waiting
Hurray! You recorded the sessions, I would gladly pay some $ for a HD download option!
EU location for the 2015 conference and I'm there!
I agree - the conference was great!
Meeting the speakers and the community was fun. Just chatting with people, watching the talks and seeing the new bits makes it clear Raven is progressing in tangible ways. I'm really glad to be part of this.
Looking forward to next year.
Great to talk with so many cool peers in the conference and a lot of information to digest and leverage. It would be awesome to be able to access the slides. Thanks and congrats on the success of the conference.
The conference was excellent! Kudos to everyone involved.

Tyler Blackburn of "Pretty Little Liars" Tells Us About the Night He Was Terrorized On Set [AUDIO]
A brand new episode of America's guiltiest summer pleasure "Pretty Little Liars," hits ABC Family tonight.
There are a lot of spine-chilling moments on the show that gets fans pretty creeped out. We asked Tyler Blackburn, who plays Caleb Rivers on the show if the cast ever got freaked out while they were filming.
Tyler shared this story with us, "There was a scene where we were in a tent, there was some heavy kissing happening and there was this weird noise. It turned out that it was a gigantic raccoon. Everybody on the set freaked out."
So, while their characters are all getting terrorized by the mysterious "A," the actors are terrorized by a backyard pest.
The new season is taking some interesting twists and turns. Tyler also shared with us that we will find out if Ian is alive or dead in the next three episodes, so you won't want to miss a thing with the liars!
On tonight's episode, Hanna and Caleb will try to help Lucas with his dating life. Meanwhile, some of Aria's buried memories resurface when she runs into Jason. Spencer worries about Melissa's secretive exchanges with Ian and Emily's mom can't keep the scholarship news a secret.
"Pretty Little Liars" is on Tuesday nights at 8/7c on ABC Family. Watch the video below to get a sneak peek of Tyler on tonight's episode!

"I'll throw down your punishment of love from heaven!"
I made Venus during Thanksgiving break along with Mecury and Mars. So 3 plushies in one week...I don't know if my week was super productive or a waste of my time off. I barely had time to relax! I aimed to get all 3 done in a week, and I did, but yeah, that's pretty much ALL I did. Oh, and have a surprise birthday party! My friends are so sweet~
Like my other Sailor Scout plushies, Venus's eyes have her element in them. Which is...love....? Is that even an element? The hint of orange is her eyes is supposed to represent her "Love Me Chain" attack. And always, the eyes are done by my sister~

Taxing Sugary Drinks
by Toby Amidor in Food News, January 19, 2009Does taxing regular soda seem fair to you? Well, New York Governor Patterson thinks it might help. With one in four New Yorkers under the age of 18 considered obese, Patterson is proposing an "obesity tax" to help change eating habits and funnel some extra money into the state budget.
This tax is targeting soft drinks because research shows sodas are one of the main contributors to childhood obesity. Patterson's proposal is to add a 15% mark-up on all non-diet drinks sold in New York. This would include popular drinks such as Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and Snapple beverages. You might pay $1 for a Diet Coke, but pick up its full-calorie cousin and that's $1.15.
I have experience counseling obese children in New York, and I've seen first hand that soda drinking is high with kids. Typically during a visit, I help a kid set a few goals. The first step is changing to non-calorie beverages — water and seltzer primarily and then supplementing that with diet sodas and sugar-free beverages in moderation (no more than one cup per day). I've seen kids make this simple switch and lose a few pounds within a couple of weeks. It's really amazing what a small change like this can do.
What are your thoughts on the "obesity tax" proposal? Do you think we can get people to give up those high calorie, sugary drinks?

I don't think this tax will really keep people from drinking what they want. It's kind of like smoking…cigarette prices keep going up, but people still smoke, even though there is so much information out there stating that smoking is bad. Same idea here. It might be slightly more inconvenient, but people will still drink a coke.
I will have to agree that the price is not going to stop people from drinking soda.Coming from experience I used to consume a great amount of soda during a days time. I gave up soda and replaced it with water. Soda drinkers would be amazed of have much better they would feel by giving up selecting the healther choice.
I agree with the other comments. That little of a tax amount won't prevent people from drinking soda. However, if the money made off the tax can continue to help educate others on the benefits then I think it is a good thing. I gave up soda a couple of weeks ago and switched to water. I can't believe how much better I feel already.
The obesity crisis is due to expensive healty food and the decreased spending in our schools on sports and other healthy activities.
It would be more beneficial to see the prices go down on healthy food(fruit, veggies,whole grain items, etc…)It is less expensive to eat junk than to eat healthy, even with this new 'tax'.
I am a single parent, with one income and two children and I do not qualify for food assistance. I do my best to feed my family healthy, but most times, the raw, healthier food does not fit into my budget.
My opinion is that Gov. Patterson needs to think a bit more outside the box to come up with a more creative and beneficial solution for all NY-ers!
Taxing us to death in this poor economy will get us nowhere…

New drivers face the reality of the high cost of car insurance.
High school and college graduates are hitting the car lots this time of year with their parents not far behind. This is their car shopping season, but the real sticker shock doesn't always come from the car dealer but from the insurance agent.
There are so many different cars and so many different ways to insure them. But one thing is for sure if there is a kid behind the wheel, it will cost you more.
Driver Jeanelyn Yang says "one little bumper, I think my friend's doubled and it went up $200-$300 every month. So it is pretty bad."
But there are ways to cut down on those costs, a lot depends on what kind of car your son or daughter is driving.
Pete Moraga of the CA Insurance Information Network says "you want to get a sedan, a very sedate sedan, hopefully a four door because those have a better safety record. And when it comes to actual claims on the car we're seeing that sedans also have less claims."
Pete Moraga with the Insurance Information Network says if the car is expensive to fix you can bet your insurance rates will also be higher.
Pete Moraga says "so what you want to do is you want to add them to your policy but you also want to restrict them to the lowest cost car."
But who picks the car for a high school or college graduate? That depends.
Mark Simmons of Carmax says "the child has had the final say or the parents have had the final say, I guess the parents because they're writing that check really have the final say."
Traditionally boys have paid more than girls for car insurance, but times are changing. And today girls are shelling out more and more.
Pete Moraga says "so they're getting close to the boys when it comes to risky behavior, when it comes to driving at excessive speeds and taking risks."
Risks like talking on the phone and texting. Now there are always good driver discounts but bare in mind, SUV's and muscle cars often cost more to insure.
Pete Moraga says "and what we're suggesting to parents is that they think of safety before sexy. The student is going to want fast and the furious, we're saying get slow and safe."
Jeanelyn says "I think that if you start driving, as long as you are good about it, I think it should be lower. But when you do get in an accident I see a reason to increase it, but it is very high."

Year of the Wood Sheep Forecast
The Year of the Wood Sheep is time to heal after the chaos of 2014's Horse year. Because the Sheep is caring and creative, this year will be the time to express your creative side and embrace your closest friendships. The Wood element also makes this Sheep have more positive relationships. Discover what 2015 holds for you with this insightful analysis which includes a detailed month-by-month forecast and the major influences that may affect you.
The year starts off with quite a turbulent bang, Cancer! To call the onset of 2015 emotionally loaded is an understatement. The good news is that the last of the seven Uranus-Pluto squares will culminate this March. You've reached the final stage of the evolutionary push with Self, ca-reer, family and relationships, Cancer. You've certainly had every nerve and sensitivity tested over the past few years. Home and career continue to be your major areas of focus due to the strong Nodal activity in your 4th (domestic) and 10th (professional) sectors through the end of the year. This is the year to put down some serious roots. Home is definitely where your heart is, and this year you're determined to find or make your dream domicile. The full Moon lunar eclipse hits the bottom of your chart this April, so expect that to be the extreme catalyst to push you onward if you haven't made your big move by then.
Saturn is finally finishing up his work in your love, children and creativity domain this fall. He'll be back for a brief checkup and finalization, and much of your attention will be on your daily schedule and rituals, and finding some kind of magical alchemy between your work and health. You have a tendency to work, work, work and then crash and not want to leave the house for days. This year you will find some boundaries and structure around routines thanks to the pres-ence of the cosmic taskmaster, Saturn, taking up residence in your Sixth House of responsibili-ties. There's a nice electric push this March in your career zone when Mars and Uranus meet up to make for something unexpected and immediate. If you've been feeling stuck or stagnant on a professional level, you'll adore this innovative surge of new energy to open up the channels of creativity.
You've still got luck on your side in the money department for the first half of the year. Jupiter continues to grace your financial sector with abundance and opportunity. It's also possible you have been spending more than ever over the past year (especially on travel). Jupiter will be ret-rograde until April, so use the first quarter to reconnect to old sources of inspiration and income. Perhaps, hold off on any major money decisions until summer. Communication takes on new levels of importance and blessing in your world this summer. In August, indulgent and expansive Jupiter leaves your money zone, which will bring some ease on any residual urges to splurge on material possessions. The new phase for the second half of the year is all about wisdom and the opportunity to study with amazing mentors and teachers. You're also extremely lucky and in-spired when it comes to all realms of communication, marketing and getting your message out there. Your ability to pay close attention to the details is now paying off into some big-picture awesomeness.
Your love life continues to be crazy passionate and transformational, but thankfully this year some of the darker drama should be lighting up a bit. You've definitely had your fair share of facing your demons and fears in the love department. The only exception to this new 'moving on' phase of 2015 is when Saturn comes back for one last hurrah between June and September. If there is any unfinished karmic romance business, expect to settle the score. Hopefully this last and final pass of Saturn through your love and pleasure zone will be a beautiful and intimate res-olution and closure with a past relationship or creative project. If you've said your long goodbye in peace and with love, you will feel like the final cord can safely be released without all of the pain and anguish that usually accompanies endings. Your new focus is on expanding your hori-zons on a daily basis, rather than getting sucked into all of the heaviness of codependent relation-ship patterns. If an issue with a child and your beloved has been a source of stress or pain, this too will be softening over the year. The point is to find more freedom and balance in your rela-tionships in 2015.
The North Node of Fate will continue to unleash powerful teachings around reciprocity and equal partnering. With your caring and compassionate nature, it's all too easy for you to fall into the role of caretaker. This can get old and exhausting if you're not allowing your own needs to be met in the process. The one-sidedness is totally shifting as you remember to find your own voice and needs in your relationships this year. You'll have a chance to really revamp your entire approach to relationships when Venus goes retrograde this summer. Pay close attention to how your communication style reflects your M.O. in getting your needs met. Do you ask directly for what you need, Cancer? If you catch any passive-aggressive or manipulative tendencies in your love romantic dynamic, this is the year to clean all that up. Get clear with yourself so you can be clear with those you love most. You'll feel like your relationships are moving forward with few-er obstacles and challenges after September 25, when Pluto goes direct in your partnership zone through the end of the year. It's all about integrity in partnering, Cancer. You've learned loads since 2008 -- and yet there is still so much to learn!
So much has changed and continues to change as the South Node of Fate continues to cruise through your career zone for one more year. You've had to part ways with people or projects that did not have your best interest at heart, and now you're learning to finally integrate your own needs and voice in a more direct and self-coherent fashion. Assertiveness in professional deal-ings continues to be your strength. There is a powerful total lunar eclipse happening in your ca-reer house in September, and this is sure to catapult you to the next level with your status. This is the culmination of initiatives you started cranking out in the spring of 2014. You're finally see-ing the final fireworks of your creation this fall. The final Uranus-Pluto T-square takes place this March and should bring out any last kinks or power struggles for final clearing and healing. You're finally on your way to the new professional phase, Cancer.
You will be working harder than ever with Saturn pushing you to your fullest potential this year. The Cosmic Taskmaster is taking residence in your work and daily routine zone for the next few years. Saturn will retrograde between June and September to allow you to pick up any lost crea-tive threads that you want to integrate into your current or future projects. You'll also have a chance to revise and integrate what you've learned about time management and efficiency, two of Saturn's favorite themes. In fact, the feeling that time is of the essence could take on extreme urgency this year. You can't stand to waste even a second under this influence and will thus structure your schedule accordingly. This is the year for maximum productivity. You'll be work-ing smarter instead of just harder, leaving you more time for expanding other areas of your life for a change. Giving yourself limits with your work schedule will make sure that you actually have a social life once again. For the more introverted Cancers, making boundaries around your schedule will help you find more time for the activities you love, even if just staying home read-ing books or watching films. This is your year to have more 'you' time for the first time in eons!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. When it comes to the Hall of Fame for any sport, the one that takes the cake is baseball. For some reason, making this Hall is above and beyond the rest. Well I'd venture to say Hockey is a close second at least in my book.
When players do not make their eligible years, it recently is because they were not great players. That is debatable. A line has to be drawn somewhere. But then again, it is just a museum, so does it really matter? Well it matters because controversy sells tickets and creates news and buzz. But over all, your life will not change if your your favorite player does not make the Hall of Fame. It just won't, no matter how bitter you are at all the silly sports writers (especially the east coast scum writers).
The other notable players to not make the Hall are considered cheaters from the steroid era. I won't mention their names because I'm not a fan of those players. I was at times, but when they juiced up...forget it.
A question someone posed the other day...is when a player wears contacts or glasses, is that cheating? Well it does give him an advantage, but in theory it makes him equal to other players. It doesn't give him extra above and beyond strength. Well then what if juicing makes me equivalent to the Mendoza line. Does that make it just as bad? Something to think about.
Heck these guys not getting in for using drugs and cheating...well the irony is, if they were rock stars they'd probably be shoe ins for their silly Hall of Fame. Funny how we praise the work of artists, but athletes....well that ain't cool now is it?
2 comments:
To me, there's cheating, and then there's cheating. Putting a scuff or a loogie on a ball, taking an upper, or filling your bat with superballs is gamesmanship. I would prefer it didn't happen, but whatever. Teams do stuff too-leaving the infield grass longer for certain teams, etc.
To me, ingesting a substance that grows your cap size and shrinks your junk is a completely different animal. With all of the concussions in football, you'd think they'd make a bigger deal about it there.

Happy Martin Luther King Day everybody!
Obviously the biggest question here is whether or not SpongeKnob's nuts are actually square, and because I'm all about hard-hitting journalism (and sex puns!) I'll tough it out and watch the unrated version real quick so I can report back to you guys with the details you expect and deserve.
5 minutes later:
WHELP — Sandy's got a dick in her mouth. Everyone's childhood is over.
10 minutes later:
Nuts not visible, only SpongeKnob's very un-sponge like penis can be seen. Sandy is doing WORK.
12 minutes later:
This isn't as bad as I'd thought it would be.
