Comparing Google Analytics and Yahoo Web Anlytics
Been looking at a way to compare Google Analytics and Yahoo Web Analytics and was pointed towards a post at Insightr. Little bit like them my company helps clients using various analytics tools and like them we are constantly being asked about the difference between them.
Nordic eMarketing has been working with Google Analytics for a long time as well as being a pioneer member of the Yahoo Web Analytics Consultant Network (YWACN), we were a part of the first patch selected. Our Analytics clients use a mixture of Google Analytics, Omniture Site Catalyst, WebTrends, Teljari (Local player) and Yahoo Web Analytics, with the majority of new businesses adopting either GA or YWA.
Here is a great article on this matter, Should you go Google or Yahoo?
How to get your website above the regular results on Google – without paying for it
Since last summer, Google has changed its algorithm so that search results now automatically include relevant local results. For many businesses this is an important feature that can increase the amount of visitors to their web site and also the overall awareness of their website without paying for it.
If your services or products are listed on Google Map, your businesses offers, that are relevant to a special area of searched keyword, will be listed on page one above the first regular result. People will also see the exact address of you businesses and users' reviews about your products and services. Read more »
Do search engines trust your website?
Five years ago, Yahoo engineers wrote about TrustRank, an algorithm used to fight spam in the search results. TrustRank works in such way that it semi-automatically separates trustworthy and good quality pages from spam.
Spam-pages get higher-than-deserved rankings in a search engine's results and today any professional SEO optimizers, Google or any other search engine uses Trust Rank or similar techniques against spam. Read more »
Rock and Roll Google, Caffeine is here
Google has finally lifted the lid on its search engine update, nicknamed "Caffeine" by those closest to it. The new engine will be replacing old faithful and should be much quicker that "old" Google and start showing real time results. This could bring Bing back in the shade and Twitter becomes a second runner up. These updates should secure Google as the dominant search engine. Read more »
Google 302 redirect hijacks are still possible
Yes, sir, here is a scenario: "The top result is now pointing to some proxy redirect page. Our website itself has not been hacked. It is just the Google search results are hijacked! But the damage is done."
This has been recently confirmed by Google's John Muller and according to him the Google team is working hard to deal with the problem but it might still be some time until it's fully fixed and visible in all Google data-centers. Source: Google Webmaster Help

Paris Hilton Goes Back to Jail - Cries for Mom
In a stunning reversal reported in this Breitbart article, Paris Hilton is returning to jail only one day after her release.
A day ago, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department sent Paris home for 40 days of Hilton house arrest. Judge Michael T. Sauer, who apparently wasn't consulted by the Sheriff, was not happy. He had specifically ruled that Ms. Hilton would not be allowed to spend her time under house arrest. Word late yesterday was the judge might hold the sheriff department in contempt of court.
Instead, he ordered Paris Hilton back to the same jail cell. He even ordered her to serve her full 45 day sentence, instead of the initial 23 day sentence she had. This would seem to punish the sheriff's department, who complained that the Paris jailing was an undue drain on their manpower.
Driven To Court in Handcuffs
Earlier in the day, a court spokesman had announced Paris Hilton would not have to attend the court case. She would be able to testify over the phone.
The judge reversed that decision. Instead, he sent a sheriff's car to escort Hilton to the court. He wanted to have her explain what medical condition it was that kept her from doing jail time, and wanted her in court to show the condition. When Paris Hilton was unable to make a compelling case, the judge gave her the new sentence.
As Paris was being taken away into custody, she was heard to cry "Mom!" at her mother in the audience. Pictures showed Paris crying in the back seat of the police car.
My only question is: how does Bodog judge that Paris Hilton props bet.

I think it is a bit early to give a preview for UCLA, but Phil Steele's is out and here is the link.
Monthly Archives: May 2009
Uko on UCLA's non-offer
Chino Hills High defensive tackle George Uko is a polarizing figure in UCLA's recruiting decisions. He was impressive during individual drills during Scout.com's combine, and after I asked him if he knew why UCLA had not offered even though he at one time favored the school. Uko said the Bruins staff told him he did not give the type of effort they want to see on every play.
"I played both ways, so sometimes I took a few plays off," Uko said. "I was playing tight end, going out on patterns, and then I would have to play defensive tackle, and I was tired. This year I'm only going to play defense, so schools will see me playing hard all the time."
Uko said he remains open to UCLA, although it appears the Bruins would have ground to make up if a scholarship offer comes his way.
"I'm still open to everything," Uko said.
He lists his favorite schools as Nebraska, Oregon, Arizona, Arizona State, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Colorado, Washing and Nevada.
Stills and UCLA
I talked to La Costa Canyon of Encinitas receiver Kenny Stills and asked him if he was close to making a decision.
"Realistically, I don't think so," Stills said. "I want to take all my visits. I want to trim my list to seven to 10 schools by the end of the summer, take my trips and make a decision during the season or in the offseason."
Stills was impressive at the Scout.com combine, running a wind-aided 4.36 (seconds) in the 40-yard dash. However, he sat out the end of the combine after tweaking his hamstring.
He said his top schools, in no particular order, were USC, UCLA, California, Arizona, Coloroado, Washington and Penn State.
He said there has been a lot of talk about him going to USC because that is the school he is asked frequently about in interviews, but he said he has no leader.
Knicks eye-balling Holiday
Here is a story in today's New York Post about the New York Knicks looking at UCLA's Jrue Holiday with the No. 8 pick in next month's draft.
UCLA's one-day camp issues
I was down at the Scout.com combine at Los Angeles Harbor College today, and in talking to a bunch of people, plenty were miffed about why UCLA is holding its one-day camp next Saturday.
One of the top performers at the camp, receiver Kenny Stills of La Costa Canyon of Encinitas, said he is not going because he has to take the SATs. A few others echoed that.
Also, several players said they were not attending because it was the same day as the state track championships.
Morgan working out again
Rosario to nationals
UCLA receiver Nelson Rosario qualified for the first NCAA Championships with a fifth-place finish in the long jump (24-8.25) at the NCAA West Region Championship in Eugene, Ore.
He was the only freshman to finish in the top-5 and automatically advance to the NCAA championships, which are in Fayetteville, Ark., June 10-13..

UCLA's statement on tennis sanctions
Here is a statement from UCLA about the Pac-10 removing the Bruins' 2008 conference title in men's tennis because of an ineligible player:
The men's tennis student-athlete involved was earning money working at a job. The employer paid his student fees, thinking it was okay because the student-athlete would be earning the money to cover the fees.
When the UCLA compliance office found out that the employer had paid the student fees in advance, it reported the situation to the NCAA and the Pac-10 Conference. The NCAA reinstated the student-athlete's eligibility, deciding the employment and the rate of pay appropriate, and required him to pay a portion of the fee value to a charity. The student-athlete was eligible to compete in the 2008-09 season and did so.
The Pac-10 Compliance and Enforcement Committee requested the student-athlete forfeit his singles and doubles matches in Pac-10 competition in 2007-08. That action was approved by the Pac-10 Council. The changes in scores ultimately changed the final results of UCLA's matches versus USC and Arizona State from wins to losses.

Cooking With Honey
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, October 9, 2012
I keep a squeeze bottle of honey on my counter right next to the olive oil, salt and pepper because I reach for it so often. Explore the countless ways to use this natural sweetener in your kitchen.
So Many Ways to Love
A light drizzle on toast can turn a piece of bread into a spectacular breakfast – honey is that special. The best part about this finger-licking treat is how the different varieties take on the characteristics of the flowers they were cultivated from.
Use mild acacia honey for fruit salad, clover for tea or coffee drinks, orange blossom for cakes and cookies or lavender for sauces and salad dressings.
For everyday use, my favorite honey is from my local farmer– the clean and lightly floral flavor is second to none.
From grilling to roasting, honey can be used with just about any cooking method, and it can be used in recipes served either hot or cold.
Replace sugar with equal parts honey in your favorite muffin recipe – the silky texture helps keep baked goods moist.
Sour Cream and Lemon-Honey Corn Muffins
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Give salad dressings, dipping sauces and hummus a hint of sweetness.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
Green Herb Hummus
Coat & Roast
Honey acts as a flavor-packed glue for crispy coatings. It also gives roasted tofu a scrumptious golden crust.
Baste vegetables, chicken or fish in a mouth-watering honey lacquer.
Glazed Carrots
Honey-Soy Grilled Salmon with Edamame
Apple-Honey Drumsticks
Bring out the flavor of fruit and nuts with a touch of honey.
Tropical Fruit Salad With Honey and Lime
Toasted Almond Mochas

You spent most of Game 2 harassing and insulting your teammates. That is in fact against the Summoners' Code.
Game 1: You harass the enemy team because they have an afk. Would punish this. Game 2: If I had any doubts about game 1, this would change my mind. You consistently harass people all game. Punish. Ban is justified.

Luke Bryan is quickly becoming one of the bigger names in country music, but no matter how big his career gets, he won't let it overshine is marriage to Caroline Boyer, his college sweetheart.
Ever since their wedding day in December 2006, Luke Bryan has done everything in his power to make his wife, Caroline Boyer happy — and apparently it's working! In a new interview, the country star reveals his secrets to keeping their marriage interesting — and it even includes telling little white lies!
Luke Bryan's Marriage Secrets: How I Make It Work
"I don't let her know how much I spend on fishing," Luke, 37, said in an interview with Good Housekeeping mag.
While we know that the "Country Man" singer is a jokester, we're sure that those little white lies are the only one he's telling. He's more of a romance guy than anything!
"Every night before bed, I rub my wife's feet. She says they're the best foot rubs on Earth," he added. "We do little nights out together. One Valentine's Day, we got each other's initials tattooed on our ring fingers! We have coffee in the morning, just Caroline and me. It's my favorite time of the day; anytime we can have 30 minutes to talk, it's just great."
Now that sounds romantic. For Luke, he knows that keeping the communication line open is super important — even when they don't agree.
"We don't have big throw-down fights," he explained. "If we have a beef, we always talk it out instead of letting it snowball."
Luke Bryan: 'It Was Love At First Sight With Caroline'
Luke, who met Caroline in college at Georgia Southern University, says that her looks still completely blow him away.
"It was love at first sight with Caroline — those blue eyes of hers. I knew that, no matter what, I was going to make my way over to her," he told the mag.
Now, the couple has two sons — Bo, 5, and Tate, 3, and with Luke on tour, he said that spending time as a family is one of the most important things for him.
"When I'm home, I try to really be home. We love to let our boys climb in bed with us at night, and we all watch TV," he told the mag.
Ok, so if you weren't already completely jealous of Luke's wife, now you can join me. Do you agree HollywoodLifers? Are they the cutest couple in country?

The bright green recycling machines will be seen throughout the city, encouraging all to walk by and drop in their empty bottles and cans to receive some extra cash on a recycling debit card which can be used throughout the city to purchase products and or services. Another option is for the user to simply select the "Donate" touch-screen button and the profits get transferred to a designated local charity.
The receipt and the screen displays an "EcoAware Formula" which automatically calculates the environmental emission and crude oil statistics the cardholder and all whom participate have contributed. It is a simple fun reminder to show that every can… can make a difference!

Banks Are the Largest Abusers of Offshore Tax Havens
Posted By admin On May 6, 2009 @ 3:32 am In Money Watch | Comments Disabled
Washington's Blog [1]
Wednesday, May 6, 2009
Enron was lambasted for using offshore tax havens [2] and complicated corporate structures to avoid paying taxes.
But the big banks are worse.
As the Financial Times notes [3]:
In recent separate surveys by the US Government Accountability Office and the Tax Justice Network, the largest user of tax havens in every country surveyed was a bank. Tax authorities have enormous problems puzzling out these structures. If they can, it is often hard to characterise them as shams.

Dolly Parton joins other celebs in insuring her most valuable body part(s)
September 29, 2011
When you think of Dolly Parton, what do you think of besides her wonderful music?
If you're like most people, you probably think of her wigs and her breasts. She's definitely famous for both.
Well Dolly's a smart business lady and she's not taking any chances with her world famous boobs.
According to an old report that I stumbled on recently, Dolly has joined the ranks of celebrities who insure their most famous body parts by insuring her...ummm....twins against fire, flood, and act of God.
I kid, I kid, but she has insured her famous breasts for an amazing $600,000.
I'm not sure what Dolly thinks will happen to her ladies, but I guess if times get tough she can always have some sort of unfortunate brassiere accident.

There is no doubt that the water that may get onto one's clothes or body from the tap is taahir (pure), because the tap water is pure.
But if the water that gets on the clothes is water with which the impurity has been washed away, then the ruling on this water is that when it separates from the impurity, if some of its characteristics have been changed by the impurity, then it is najis (impure), so if it gets on to the clothes or body, the part it has got onto must be washed. But when it separates from the impurity but has not changed, then it is taahir (pure) and it does not matter if it gets onto the body or clothes.
This is the view of Imam Maalik (may Allah have mercy on him). See al-Mawsooah al-Fiqhiyyah, 29/99
It should be noted with regard to this matter that the Shaytaan may try to whisper (waswaas) to the individual so as to make his go to extremes in this matter, which is contrary to Islamic teaching. It is not appropriate to have doubts about the water that is splashed when relieving oneself, unless the Muslim is definitely certain that this water carries some impurity, and that may be known from changes in the colour or smell of the water as a result of that impurity. In that case, he should wash off whatever has got onto his body or clothes.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to water, it is pure in and of itself, but if it is mixed with some impurity and that is apparent, then using it is regarded as using that impurity. What is forbidden is to use it when the impurity has become mixed with it, not because it is impure in and of itself. If there is no clear sign that the impurity has become mixed with it, this doubt about the water when the water is good and there is no change in it, comes under the heading of putting oneself through unnecessary hardship, which Allah has stated is not appropriate in our shareeah, and it is a restriction from which Allah has saved yus.
It is proven that Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) did wudoo' using water from a Christian vessel, even though there was a possibility that the water could have been mixed with some impurity. Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah be pleased with him) and a companion of his passed by a downspout, and his companion said to its owner: O owner of the downspout, is your water pure or impure? Umar said: O owner of the downspout, do not tell him, because he has no need to know.
Imam Ahmad and others stated, with regard to this issue, that if water falls on a person from a downspout and the like, and there is no sign to indicate that it is impure, then he does not have to ask about it; rather doing so is makrooh.
End quote from al-Fataawa al-Kubra, 1/225, 226
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a person who does wudoo' in a place where people relieve themselves and there is the possibility that his garment may become impure; does he have to wash his garment?
He replied:
Before I answer this question, I want to say:
This shareeah - praise be to Allah - is perfect in all aspects and is suited to sound human nature that Allah has instilled in man. It came to make things easy and in fact it came to save man from confusion caused by whispers from the Shaytaan and imaginary matters for which there is no foundation. Based on that, the basic principle is that the individual and his garments are pure, so long as there is no certainty that any impurity has got onto his body or garments. This basic principle is supported by the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) to a man who complained to him that he imagined that he felt something - namely breaking wind - when he was praying. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: No one should stop (praying) unless he hears a sound or notices a smell. So the basic principle is that things remain as they are.
If water gets onto the clothes in which they entered the washroom in which they relieved themselves, as the questioner says, who can tell whether this dampness comes from impurity such as urine or water that has changed because of contact with faeces and the like? If we are not certain that that is the case, then the basic principle is that things are pure. Granted, he may think it most likely that it has been contaminated with something impure, but so long as we are not certain, the basic principle is that things remain pure.
So in answer to this question, we say: if they are not certain that something impure has got onto their clothes, then the basic principle is that they remain pure and they do not have to wash their clothes; they can pray in them and there is nothing wrong with that. And Allah knows best. End quote.
Majmoo Fataawa Ibn Uthaymeen, 11/question no. 23
And Allah knows best.

The Speakers
Al Letson
Al Letson has garnered national recognition with his multidisciplinary work as a playwright/performance poet/actor/public radio host. Drawing on his background as a performance poet, Letson weaves spoken word into the fabric of his theatre work. Griot: He Who Speaks the Sweet Word (2004), a genre mixing choreo-poem, was commissioned by the Baltimore Theatre Project. In 2005, Letson "remixed" Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, with the last days of Malcolm X, to create Julius X. His solo show, Summer in Sanctuary, opened off-Broadway with the Abingdon Theatre Company and later moved to the New Jersey Rep where it received rave reviews.
In 2008, Letson won the Public Radio Talent Quest, an effort by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to find new voices and innovative programming on NPR. Since that time Letson's program State of the Re:Union (SOTRU) has become one of the fastest growing shows in public radio, airing on more than 200 stations, and receiving critical acclaim. SOTRU is currently in production of its fifth season.
While his many interests are diverse, the common theme in Letson's work is his effort to bring people together. By examining difficult topics and influential historical themes, Letson strives to focus on our common humanity—and always present a production with consummate artistry.

McLaren are optimistic they wont suffer another pit-stop slip-up at this weekends British Grand Prix, after putting in hours of practice back at the factory. Sporting director Sam Michael is confident the hard work will ensure they wont be blindsided by another front-jack failure, which saw Lewis Hamilton sit for over 14 seconds in the pit box at last months European round.
We identified the problem in Valencia and why that failed and the design has been modified for Silverstone, Michael explained in a Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes Phone-In. On Monday this week, we completed 800 pit stops on the jacking systems, with no faults at all. During a race weekend, we would probably do about 50 pit stops, including all of the practices, so effectively we did 16 Grand Prix weekends on Monday.
"So we believe that we have solved it, but at least we have done good due diligence on the new design we have got for Silverstone. If we go there and have a fault we can say that we have done as much as we could, which is what we do in engineering.
This new fast-jack system is just one of the improvements McLaren have introduced this season to optimise their pit-stop times. And with the British team logging the fastest pit stop in Formula One history at last months European round, after setting a new record of 2.6s during the Valencia event, it seems to be working.
Even so, with pit-lane issues hampering the team again and again this season, critics have argued that this quest for speed has cost the outfit consistency and made the pit crew and equipment more error-prone. Michael, however, disagrees and maintains that uniformity in the stops - and setting fastest average times - remains top of the teams agenda.
Our target is not the fastest stationary time but the fastest average time, he explained. Our internal target is to achieve three-second pit stops consistently. Consistency always has been our goal and all of the technology that we have added has actually been to add consistency, rather than speed. We have gained speed at the same time, but that's not at all our focus.
This year at McLaren, we have been on a technology and personnel ramp-up. We have introduced a lot of different parts in a short space of time, like a traffic light system, fast jacking systems and retained wheel nuts. The very nature of R&D is that you sometimes get things wrong and that's what happened to us in Valencia.
To emphasise his point, Michael drew attention to the pit-stop problems suffered by other teams as they too experiment, pointing out that McLaren are not the only ones to have had issues when they introduced new technology.
If you look back at the other teams who have introduced some of these items before us, they went through similar pain and some of them are still going through it, he concluded.
Look at Red Bull in Montreal, they had a problem with a front-right tyre. Look at Ferrari in Valencia last week - the front-left tyre wasnt even changed when they changed the front wing on Massas car. Mercedes are still having problems retaining wheel nuts. So were not unique in having issues with equipment or technical process. We do take it very seriously internally.
McLaren will be back on track - and in the pit lane - on Friday when this weekends 2012 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix gets underway.

Welcome to raceday in Sepang for the 2004 Malaysian Grand Prix.
Without doubt this is going to be a very tough race for drivers and cars, as air temperatures over 34 degrees Celsius are likely, and track temperatures could exceed 55 degrees C. The latter will make tyre wear a crucial factor, and many teams are likely to make three pit stops, though there is a suspicion that one of the Renaults may try to exploit the R24's excellent wear characteristics to make it through on two.
There is a 50 percent chance of rain at some stage during the day. Thunderstorms usually hit the region towards the evening when they do come, and with the race starting at 3pm local time this might be a factor, but so far this weekend none of the predicted storms has actually materialised.

NYDN – An obese Brooklyn woman whose photo was tweeted by an emergency medical technician along with the caption "Wide Load" — then splashed across the Internet — is suing New York City and the malicious medic. Teena Gamzon, 65, who uses a wheelchair, was surreptitiously photographed by Fire Department employee Timothy Dluhos, 35, who posted the picture with the slur appearing on her back. "I'm devastated," said Gamzon, of Bergen Beach, who suffers from diabetes and other ailments. "We're made jokes of as it is." The suit, filed Monday in Brooklyn Supreme Court, is asking for unspecified damages for "mental anguish, ridicule [and] emotional and mental distress."Gamzon's lawyer Robert Goldberg blamed the EMT for "making a mockery out of his job," adding that his client is now confined to her home with shame.
If people aren't allowed to make "wide load" jokes about fatties when their backs are turned anymore then I just don't know what this country has turned into. I mean how can this chunky bitch even sue? You can't see her face. Nobody knows it's her. For all intents and purposes she's just a nameless fatty being used as a vehicle for a wide load joke. And I mean c'mon, it was pretty funny. "Wheels couch." That's thinking outside of the box right there.
Honestly, I just don't have time for anyone who can't take a joke. Maybe if she learned to laugh at her condition a little bit then life would brighten up for her. Chuckle at your diabetes every once in a while. Life is hard, but it can be easier if you lighten up. Bottom line is that when you sit in that wheelchair, you're a wide load. You're wide. You're a load. You're a wide load. The best thing you can do is embrace that role and make the best of it. I have crooked teeth and a space monkey tattoo on my chest but you don't see me suing anyone when those things get made fun of, do you?

On paper the matchup between Missouri and California looked to be a good matchup, with both teams fresh off of big wins in the semifinals of the CBE Classic in Kansas City. On the floor however, things got out of hand quickly for the Golden Bears as the Tigers rolled in front of a pro-Missouri crowd. Kim English scored 19 points and tournament MVP Marcus Denmon finished with 18 points and six rebounds as the Tigers won 92-53, and it could be argued that the 39-point margin doesn't do this result justice.

After both teams won their semifinal games at the CBE Classic in blowout fashion, Missouri (4-0) and California (4-0) should have a stiffer challenge on their hands as they play for the championship in Kansas City.

Update : Jul. 30, 2010
The following is a breakdown of the 1st quarter financial results (April 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010) of Tokyo Stock Exchange Group, Inc. (TSE Group) for the fiscal year ending March 2011.
Trading participation fees were down 4.7% from the same period of the previous year due to an approximately 3% decrease in stock trading value from the previous year. Listing fees were down 18.5% from the previous year. This was attributable to the fact that the amount of fund raising through public offerings, etc. by listed companies decreased more than 60% from the previous year when a series of large-scale capital increases through public offerings were conducted by listed companies, such as Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. and TOSHIBA CORPORATION. Income from securities settlement was down 12.2% from the previous year. In addition to a decrease in trading value, this was caused by the fact that Japan Securities Settlement & Custody, Inc., a TSE Group subsidiary, was completely liquidated as of March 31, 2010, and the revenue was not recorded. On the other hand, income from information services was up 2.7% from the previous year due to an increase in the number of real-time individual terminals. Other operating income was up 19% from the previous year due to an increase in usage fees of co-location service. As a result, overall operating revenues were down 4.6% to JPY14.3 billion from the previous year.
On the other hand, operating expenses were down 4.4% to JPY10.8 billion from the previous year. While there was an increase in depreciation costs in connection with the launch of arrowhead, labor costs and system maintenance/operating costs decreased.
As a result, operating profit during the quarter was down 5% to JPY 3.41 billion from the previous year. Ordinary profit adjusted by the receipt of dividend income from the Singapore Exchange Limited, etc. was down 3.5% to JPY 3.94 billion from the previous year. With approximately JPY900 million of extraordinary profits generated during the same quarter of the last year, net income for this quarter was down 19% to JPY 2.42 billion from the previous year.
For more information:
Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE) decided to release the "Discussion Paper Regarding the Extension of Trading Hours" with the purpose of reassessing market participants' needs and practical issues relating to the extension of trading hours and proceeding with deliberations in the future.
For trading hours, market users have pointed out that TSE's trading hours are shorter than those of major exchanges in the US and Europe and requested trading during the noon recess. Regarding the extension of trading hours, there are comments citing the benefits of increased trading opportunities from the perspective of market user convenience. Meanwhile, there are also opinions that market users' trading practices would need to be greatly altered depending on methods of extension, as market users' practices are established based on the current trading hours. Thus, the extension of trading hours would increase overall costs and possibly decrease efficiency.
In light of these comments and opinions, TSE considers it appropriate to maintain an awareness of market users' opinions and implement necessary measures promptly after comparing the needs and costs of the market overall.
TSE has presented the following four measures as the primary issues in the discussion paper: (1) Abolishment or Shortening of Noon Recess, (2) Introduction of Evening/Night Trading Session for the Cash Equities Market, (3) Extension of the Evening Session Hours for the Derivatives Market, and (4) Moving Up the Opening of the Morning Auction Session.
TSE posted the discussion paper on the TSE website on July 26, 2010. TSE will seek public comments from a wide variety of market users including trading participants, institutional investors, listed companies, and individual investors by September 10, 2010.
The specific measures related to the extension of trading hours presented in this discussion paper do not necessarily represent the current opinions and plans of TSE. TSE has prepared the discussion paper in order to reassess market users' needs, practical issues, etc. and proceed with deliberations in the future.
As the extension of trading hours may affect a wide variety of market-related parties, TSE will deliberate on their needs, practical issues, etc. If TSE decides to implement the trading extension, it will fix the details of the alteration, draw up the outline of rules and systems, and publicize it.

Tracking Your Downloads With Google Analytics
Posted by: Steve under Advertisers, Affiliates
Recently the Analytics Blog announced some new features released for Google Analytics users. If you remember back in March of 2011, Google announced at the Google Analytics Conference in San Francisco that they were accepting users (a limited amount of users) for the new version of Google Analytics to be used and presented the (at the time – future version) new version of Analytics to everyone there. Included in these new features was Event Tracking.
Event Tracking is a method available in the
tracking code that you can use to record user interaction with website elements, such as a Flash-driven menu system. This is accomplished by attaching the method call to the particular UI element you want to track. When used this way, all user activity on such elements is calculated and displayed as Events in the Analytics reporting interface. Additionally, pageview calculations are unaffected by user activity tracked using the Event Tracking method. Finally, Event Tracking employs an object-oriented model that you can use to collect and classify different types of interaction with your web page objects.

I am also in getting started on restoring this old shotgun as well. It will definitely need a new stock, cocking lever, and trigger guard. Just wondering if anyone has any source for parts on these old things. A chart I looked at says its the same thing as a Stevens 515. Any advice?

Sold Out
Quiksilver is a brand you often buy just for the brand name, but this sweatshirt is worth buying whether it is Quiksilver or not. (so it is an added bonus that it is Quiksilver!) The Quiksilver Tiger Shark Hoodie is your basic hoodie but it is really high quality. The ribbed cuffs and hem keep it looking casual, while the stitching detail highlights the workmanship that went into making this hoodie stand out from all the mediocre hoodies in the world.

Bill please don't smoke it will damage your body and your looks. It is a terrible thing, don't kill yourself slowly. You will know once you stop the benefits on your body and you will feel happier/ healthier. It may look cool but it totally ain't good for you. It will also damage your vocals, it smells vile, it pollutes the air, it will effect your throat surgery, it is bad for the earth and others/ your dogs lungs around you, it even may lead to cancer.
Please stop. We want Bill Kaulitz to still look and sound great.
Please Don't Smoke.
I am not trying to put you off of it and I am not stopping you from what you want to do, you still have time as you are so young and so handsome, we don't want this dirty habit to ruin Bill to his full potential. You are happy and healthy as you are a twin. The Aliens don't want to see Bill Kaulitz and his brother deteriorate.
Bill and Tom Kaulitz, we know you have great hearts. You have hearts of gold, you help animals, promote safe sex and give money to charity, you are loyal to your fans/friends/family. We are just concerned about your health, just be careful with smoking. I'm sure you already know.
This is truly from the heart, just hope you get this. And make that change.
It just worries me personally as I have lost close people in my life due to smoking and passive smoking, and I am a huge fan of Tokio Hotel. It makes me sad to think this will happen to you, smoking is really effecting me.
It is basically slow motion suicide to your body. Just think about it. Your poor lungs having to digest smoke. I know everyone dies, but let this not be due to smoking.
Love from 6 concerned Aliens :(

Tom Brady Postgame Q&A, 10/28
Posted on October 28, 2007
Filed Under Uncategorized
Here's the complete transcript of Tom Brady's postgame Q&A this evening at Gillette Stadium:
Q: Did you ever think you would put up 52 points against the Washington Redskins, a team you had yet to beat?
TB: They presented some different challenges so I think we made quite a few good plays out there. The important thing was to really stay on track and get positive plays. [We] had the one turnover, which was unfortunate, but for the most part it was a good day.
Q: You're not used to running in touchdowns.
TB: No. I don't want to be running. Trust me.
Q: Can you talk about the two you ran in? And of course your backup, Matt Cassel, ran for one as well.
TB: I think mine were just about as far as I could go so anything longer than that I'm not trying to run it. But Matt's was a great run, he really showed a lot of determination this week to getting back to his style and his preparation. I thought it was really exciting for the team to see him make that play and make a few great throws. It takes everybody and everybody puts a lot of work in and everybody was really proud of Matt.
Q: Was it good to see the fake spike work?
TB: Yeah, we tried it last week and I screwed it up so I tried to redeem myself this week. If you just throw it up to Randy [Moss] he usually catches it.
Q: How about throwing it up to Mike Vrabel?
TB: Mike was pretty open. I think it was a good sell by the offensive line, he just slipped out there and another touchdown catch for him. I just try to throw to guys that are open.
Q: Looking ahead, any thoughts on the Colts?
TB: They're a great so we know we have our work cut out for us. They've beaten us the last three times and they've won 12 in a row, I guess. And they're a great team [and] it's tough to play them in that dome. We've got a long week and a lot of preparation. [They have] a great offense, great defense, great special teams, great coaching, great confidence, everything you're looking for in a great football team.
Q: You witnessed some great rivalries growing up. What's it like to now play in one that's getting to be like that when you play the Colts?
TB: They are always meaningful games when you play them, that's the way it seems the last bunch of times we've played them. Last game it was a real tight game, the previous couple of times it wasn't so tight [and] they really got the best of us. We know it's going to take our best effort. We know you can't make a lot of mistakes against theses guys. When you turn the ball over against the Colts it's usually seven points. When you punt it to them it's usually seven points. You just have to find ways to be productive and be efficient and not turn the ball over, certainly that's always a big key. I'm happy we've got seven days to prepare because I think we're going to need each and every hour of that week.
Q: You always talk about the building process of the season. Can you talk about the building process of this season halfway through.
TB: I think we're always finding ways to improve. It's been a good eight weeks, but it really doesn't mean anything. 8-0 is great but it really doesn't mean anything, [it] doesn't guarantee us anything. You have to keep improving through the entire season and the second half of the season is upon us and I hope we perform better than we did in the first half of the season. That's usually what good teams do. There's a lot of room for improvement and we're going to spend this week trying to make improvements on the things we screwed up this week and try to continue to build on that. Should be a good week.
Q: What could you guys do better in the second half?
TB: We can be more efficient. There were plenty of plays out there where the communication train [between] me and the receivers wasn't what we needed it to be. We got a lot of penalties out there. We got a strip-sack. Fortunately, our defense saved us like they've been saving us all year when we turn the ball over. So we can't turn the ball over, we've got to be productive when we throw it, continue to run the ball well. I think the positives [are that] the offensive line is playing great, the receivers are getting open, the tight ends are playing their role, the backs are holding onto the football. There are a lot of positives but there are also things we can improve.
Q: I know you guys all eat the humble pie, but at what point to do you realize you have something special here? Have you realized that?
TB: I haven't realized it. Just trying to get better each day. Just trying to take these games and make improvements each week and try to put our best out there each week and build on the stuff that we screwed up. Build on the stuff that we've done well, and improve the things we screwed up the previous week. It's a long season. It's not even November yet, and we've got a lot of room for improvement left and we've got a long half of the season ahead.
Q: Can you talk about your receivers and their ability to make yards after the catch?
TB: They all run well after the catch. They're all very elusive. Donte' [Stallworth] is very powerful, Wes [Welker] is very elusive, Randy [Moss] is a threat every time he gets the ball. The backs did a great job today, I thought, of making guys miss. I think that run after catch was awesome today, especially against a defense like this that's very fast and aggressive and they're all good tacklers and big hitters in the secondary. London Fletcher is one of the best middle linebackers in the league. They've got a great pair of safeties that rush the passer well, [Phillip] Daniels and Andre Carter did a great job. I just think we were trying to get the ball out quick because we knew that rush was coming.
Q: Back to that Vrabel touchdown. Every pass he's caught has been for a touchdown. He gets wide open. You said it was a great sell by the offensive line, but how does he get that open? He's caught ten touchdown passes.
TB: If they're playing the pass and you run it then they're screwed, and if you try to make it look like a run and he slips out for a pass then you leave him open. He's very good at evading defenders and getting off the line of scrimmage. He's very quick [and] he uses his hand well. He's got good hands when he catches it.
