Nope do some research and learn some history. What's laughable is the fact that you and many people have fallen hook line and sinker for such a common myth.
Borg's presence in the qualifying—the subject of so much hue and cry among the game's image-mongers—was necessary because of his refusal to comply with Rule 8 in the 1982 Grand Prix guide. It states that a player must commit to playing a minimum of 10 tournaments a year, not counting the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open, or be forced to qualify for all tournaments. Claiming he needed his "retirement" months and saying he desired more rest later—translation: time to perform in exhibitions from the Falkland Islands to Timbuktu at wages commensurate with whatever the designated countries' national debts will allow—Borg chose to enter seven tournaments and to petition the Men's International Professional Tennis Council to alter the rule. Forehand crosscourt. The MIPTC refused. Volley deep. Borg said fine, he would just as soon not go through the qualies at the French, which he has won only six times, and at Wimbledon, where he's only a five-time winner. Backhand pass. On the line.
Arthur Ashe, who's a member of the council and helped write the rule, last week agreed it was unfair. He said Borg had the ad. "It's one thing to say if a guy doesn't go the distance with 502 plate appearances, he doesn't qualify for the batting title," Ashe said. "This rule doesn't even let the guy come to bat."
Subsequently, Borg and his seconds pressed this point against the sport's ruling alphabet agencies—the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) having joined the MIPTC in the fray—until last week, when Monte Carlo buzzed with the drone of tennis politicos searching for a compromise, their blazers and school ties and starch ludicrously out of place on the marble terraces overlooking magnificent Cap-Martin. Butch Buchholz, executive director of the ATP, huddled with Borg. Philippe Chatrier, president of the ITF, caucused with Buchholz. Sir Brian Burnett, chairman of the All England Club, jetted in for discussions with Borg, Chatrier and all the rest.
Would Wimbledon flout the Grand Prix rule and permit Borg to enter its draw straightaway? Would Borg break down and enter three more tournaments? (Significantly, by playing through the qualifying rounds of seven tournaments, Borg probably will wind up playing more—matches if not weeks—to play less.) Was all this nonsense?
Borg, standing on principle, wouldn't budge. "I am not helping them save face," he said.
By this time the sentiment of the touring players, who in a January straw vote had split 50-50 on the question of whether Borg should have to qualify for the majors, had dramatically shifted to his side. "The council treats Borg like they are his parents and he is a 5-year-old," Lendl said. "Bjorn is old enough to know what he should do."
Vilas—as always the poet—said, "The rules were not thinking about this guy, this great champion. Life rules itself; there is balance in life. But this.... We are so sick about this."
"All the strokes are there," Bergelin said, "but not the head. It's his concentration that worries me. All this future [the hassle over qualifying] is in his head."
Imagine if the ATP were unhappy with Nadal's playing activity and told him that he would have to qualify for Wimbledon next year. Imagine what his reaction would be to that. Not that the ATP would be stupid enough to risk insulting one of its prized assets like that ever again. The organisation and governance of the sport was a complete mess back then.

Daughtry to Debut New Single on AMERICAN IDOL, 3/15
Multi-platinum rock band Daughtry will debut its new single "Outta My Head" during the March 15 episode of Fox's AMERICAN IDOL. It is the third single off of the band's critically acclaimed third album, Break The Spell, and the follow-up to the album's previous chart-climbing hits "Crawling Back To You" and "Renegade."
Daughtry is also announcing a second round of dates for its highly anticipated "Break The Spell 2012 Tour," which kicks off March 20 in Buffalo, NY and continues through May 1st in New York, NY. Shortly after, the band will begin the second leg of its intimate theater tour, starting on May 10 in Indianapolis, IN and wrapping on June 13 in Austin, TX. Tickets for the second leg of the tour go on sale this Friday at 10AM at Daughtryofficial.com and AEGLive.com. For all dates of the tour, the band will help combat Africa's battle against malaria by donating $1 from every ticket sold to Malaria No More, a leading humanitarian organization determined to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015.
Daughtry is pleased to welcome special guest Nashville-based pop rock group SafetySuit whose new album These Times debuted No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Opening the show is singer-songwriter Mike Sanchez.
"Just a few more weeks in rehearsal and then we finally get to deliver Break The Spell live to our fans," says singer Chris Daughtry.
Daughtry's latest album Break The Spell, which was certified gold within four weeks of its release, builds on the band's reputation for melodic hooks and anthemic choruses while providing a powerful showcase for Chris Daughtry's emotionally resonant voice. Over the past five years, Daughtry has scored four No. 1 hits, garnered four Grammy nominations, sold over seven million albums and played sold out concerts around the world. Daughtry's self-titled debut was the fastest selling rock debut in Soundscan history and its follow-up Leave This Town marked the quintet's second consecutive No. 1 album.

how to tackle low forehands?

Basically, in tennis, you want to strive (as much as possible) to hit each ball the same way. So, with a low ball (how low?) you want to get to the ball in plenty of time to set up- and since the ball is low, you want to bend your knees and get down low, yourself, so you stroke will look and feel much the same as hitting a ball in your comfort zone.
Concentrate on the racket path you need to direct the ball to where you want, then drive through the ball with enough low-to-high motion to generate topspin so you get the ball over the net-- then back down into the opponent's court.
For this sort of thing, practice is the key. Have a friend toss you some low, mid-court balls. Practice getting down and hitting through them firmly and fluidly-- through the ball and low-to-high. Pay attention to the result and adjust as necessary until it becomes second-nature.

The United States is the second most obese industrialized country in the world. A 2013 report stated that 31.8 percent of Americans were obese. Obesity accounts for 10 percent of deaths and healthcare spending in the United States.
Obesity is a complex disorder involving excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is not just a cosmetic concern. It increases your risk of diseases and health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Being obese means you are especially likely to have health problems related to your weight: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer — including cancer of uterus, ovaries, breast cancer, rectum, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney and prostrate. When you are obese, your quality of life may be lower — depression, disability, lower work achievement.
Obesity is likely when an individual's body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. Your body mass index is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms (kg) by your height in meters (m) squared. World Health Organization uses a classification system using the (BMI) body mass index to define obesity:
BMI Weight Status
18.5-24.9 = Normal
25.0-29.9 = Overweight
30.0-34.9 = Obese (class l)
35.0-39.9 = Obese (class 2)
40.0+ = Extremely Obese (class 3)
It is important to understand what "healthy weight" means. Healthy weight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 19 and less than 25 among all people 20 years of age or over. Generally, obesity is defined as a body mass index equal to or greater than 30, which approximates 30 pounds of excess weight.
If you think you may be obese, and especially if you are concerned about weight-related health problems, discuss your weight-loss options with your doctor.
Your effort to overcome obese is more likely to be successful if you follow strategies at home in addition to your formal treatment plans. These can include:
• Learning about your condition.
• Setting realistic goals
• Enlisting support
• Identifying and avoiding food triggers .Distract yourself from desire to eat with something positive.
• Practice saying "no" to unhealthy foods and large portions
• Eat when you are actually hungry
• Keep a record of food and activity log (eating and exercise habits)
• Take medication as directed and prescribed.
The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent health problems associated with obesity. Dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior changes can help you lose weight. Prescription medication or weight-loss surgery also may be options for treating obesity.
A person only has to turn on the news to discover three things about obesity: First, America is becoming increasingly obese. Second, obesity kills, and thirdly, the latest group to be affected by obesity is the group that has the least control over their health is children.
South Carolina is in the elite of having one of the highest percent obesity in the nation: 31.6 percent of South Carolinians are considered medically obese. In 1995 health care cost due to obesity was 52 billion. In 2003, that number rose to 75 billion.
More than a third of U.S. adults are obese. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Trust for America's Health have collaborated to develop the F as in Fat report. According to their 2013 report, South Carolina is ranked seventh among all 50 states in the United States with 31.6 percent of the South Carolina population classified as obese.
South Carolina ranks number two in the highest rates of obesity among children, 10-17 year old, with 21.5 percent of children among this age group classified as obese. According to DHEC County Health Indicator data, 46 percent of Newberry County adults, ages 20 and older, are considered obese.
In November 2013, the United States was the second most obese industrialized nation with 31.8 falling into the obese category. Mexico was first at 32 percent. According to the World-Health Organization 2013 fact sheet "Obesity & Overweight" obesity rates worldwide have almost doubled since 1980 accounting for over 300 million men and 200 million women.. Obesity related health care cost almost ten percent of annual medical spending in the US, totaling $147 billion in 2008.
Physical activity and proper nutrition are critical in the prevention of overweight and obesity. According to the 2009 SC Behavioral Risk Factor data, 53.4 percent of Newberry County adults reported not meeting the physical activity recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
In that same survey, 81.2 percent of Newberry County adults reported that they did not consume at least two fruits and three vegetables each day.
In addition to making healthy food choices, it is important to be physically active. Regular physical activity can reduce a person's risk of chronic diseases and help improve their overall health and fitness. How much physical activity is required for improved health?
The Centers for Disease Control recommends that children get 60 minutes of physical activity every day and adults should get approximately 150 minutes of physical activity every week. While that may seem like a lot of time, it does not need to be done all at once. Break it up into smaller units over the course of the day. Choose activities that you enjoy and make it a part of your daily routine. By making a few small changes over time, individuals can improve their overall health and reduce their risk of obesity and other chronic conditions.
Is Obesity a Disease?
Proponents contend that obesity is a disease because it meets the definition of disease, it decreases life expectancy, impairs the normal functioning of the body, and it can be caused by genetic factors. Opponents contend that obesity is not a disease because it is a preventable risk factor for other diseases; is the result of eating too much, and is caused by exercising too little.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
The district court in New York dismissed Viacom's lawsuit against YouTube yesterday. Yes, this case has been on appeal and remanded several times. You should read the details on Professor Goldman's Technology and Marketing Law Blog here. Viacom may appeal the Second Circuit Court of Appeals once again, so it may not be over.
To summarize the decision, the district court ruled that unless Viacom can prove YouTube has actual knowledge that each uploaded clip is a copyright violation, Google is entitled to the immunity granted it by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the DMCA.
The DMCA provides web hosts and internet service providers a "safe harbor" from copyright infringement claims resulting from content provided from others if certain procedures are followed. If the safe harbor qualifications are met, only the customer or user can be liable and not the actual website or ISP, i.e., YouTube.
To qualify for the safe harbor protection, the site must: (1) notify the customers of its policy; (2) follow proper notice and takedown procedures; (3) designate a copyright agent with the U.S. Copyright Office; (4) not have knowledge that the material or activity is infringing or of the fact that the infringing material exists on its network.
Summary of the Ruling
This case has centered on the last prong. Viacom has been arguing YouTube generally knows copyrighted videos are uploaded and has benefited from a willful blindness to the infringement. The court ruled there needs to be evidence that YouTube knows each and every individual clip is copyrighted at the time it us uploaded rather than knowing that it generally happens. Specifically, the court wrote:
knowledge of the prevalence of infringing activity, and welcoming it, does not itself forfeit the safe harbor. To forfeit that, the provider must influence or participate in the infringement.
Viacom admitted there is no technology in place that would give YouTube actual knowledge regarding the copyrights attached to each individual video at the time it is uploaded.
What does it mean?
This ruling confirms the burden to track copyrighted material is on the copyright owner and not the website. If you have a website that takes user-generated content, you should feel better. Even if you know you some of your users often upload copyrighted materials, you will not be deemed to "have knowledge that the material or activity is infringing or of the fact that the infringing material exists on its network" until the copyright owner tell you.
As long as you satisfy the other safe harbor requirements, you should be safe. Viacom may appeal and try to resuscitate the "willful blindness" argument. There is also some concern that the words "influence" or "participate" in infringement may leave open a hole for copyright owners to go after certain websites more active in seeking and pushing the content.
[Update 4-22-13] I should have put this ruling in context with the recent Ninth Circuit ruling in UMG v. Veoh. The Ninth Circuit originally ruled in favor of Veoh, the online video site against the record company UMG, but decided to revisit the decision in the wake of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in Viacom which took a slightly more narrow view of the immunity protections. Last month, the Ninth Circuit ruled again in favor of Veoh affirming a broad support for the initial free flow of information on the Internet. The Ninth Circuit detailed, however, the precautions Veoh used to prevent the initial downloading of copyrighted materials which raises the questions of whether there is a requirement to employ reasonably available methods to prevent the uploading of copyrighted material in the first place. You can read more details in this post from Kimberly Herman of Sullivan & Worcester.

The three day 'RoboVeda' swears to explore the unwritten lore of Robotics
The Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology is gearing up for its mega national technical festival - the 'RoboVeda', which swears to explore the unwritten lore of Robotics.
The three-day festival, starting on August 29, will provide an impetus to venture into the untouched areas of Robotics, explore the opportunities and utilise them to the fullest.
It is hosting a bonanza of mind-boggling events which test the participant's shrewdness and ability to design a robot with a great degree of mobility, vigilance and flexibility without compromising on its robustness and size.
Besides the robot designing events which are eight in number, there would be workshops for both novice and veterans in the field of Robotics and a paper presentation contest for those interested in unleashing their talents in the 'study and research' arena.
Lucrative prizes
There is also an event named 'Parishkar', a Robotics project expo, where in students can display their projects in robotics useful for the society.
Lucrative prizes have been set aside for each event.
Guest lectures
Guest Lectures by pioneers in Robotics, from highly reputed organisations like ISRO and DRDO, have been arranged to make people cognizant of the nuances in the field.
It will be a good opportunity for students to make both ends of the candle burn and witness the emulation of anthropomorphic features by machines.
More details can be had on the website - www.roboveda.org

London: Manchester United have finally got their hands on a trophy this season as they swept to victory in a cards event dubbed the Champions League of poker.
United legend Denis Irwin reportedly captained a side of card sharks against teams from Marseille, Real Madrid, Anderlecht, and Juventus to win the poker championship.
According to the Daily Star, United's disastrous season on the field got overturned on the table as the players were helped by the club's former full-back to come out on the top at the partypoker.com Poker Champions Cup, held in Juventus' Stadium, in Turin.
A delighted Irwin said that United may not have had a lot of success this season but the persevere and this has been a good win for them.
The former full-back added that hopefully United can get back to winning ways in the next season.

Luke Wilkshire is looking forward to playing more of a leadership role as Holger Osieck's Australian national team looks to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
The Dinamo Moscow right-back, along with the likes of Mark Schwarzer, Tim Cahill, Lucas Neill, Harry Kewell and Brett Emerton, will be at the forefront of the Socceroos' qualification process for Brazil 2014 and he is hoping that his experience can rub off on the new breed.
"These players all have great potential but they haven't yet really had the chance to experience some of these difficult treks into Asia which the more experienced players have," Wilkshire told The World Game.
"It will be after some of these qualifying games that we can start to assess how these young boys are progressing and coming through and what they are made of in terms of character.
"I have every confidence that they have the ability - but any guidance, the likes of myself, Lucas Neill, Brett Emerton, Harry Kewell and Mark Schwarzer can pass onto to them won't go amiss.
"We've all been through a couple of campaigns now and we know what to expect and what we're going to be up against.
"We want to help the younger boys handle what lies ahead."

Namibia Safari and Namibia Holidays
Namibia is unique. From its deserts, lush bush and savagely wild coast; to its ever-changing light and gloriously incongruous colonial architecture, it's a total one-off.
And great guides - A&K guides - can make it even better. Take Damaraland, where elephants have evolved to survive among the starkly beautiful plains and dry riverbeds. We can arrange skilled rangers to take you tracking the desert-adapted black rhino on foot - an experience open to very few visitors. Most haven't even have heard of it.
The knowledgeable guides, with their passion for understanding and explaining Namibia's sun-baked wilderness, are a crucial ingredient in our large Southern African team that has provided premium travel for over 50 years, including 24-hour emergency contact, seamless ground arrangements and well established local contacts to arrange unique one-off experiences.
Take a luxury Namibian holiday and safari with Abercrombie & Kent and you'll discover an amazingly diverse and photogenic country. There's the Etosha National Park swaddling a shimmering salt pan, one of Africa's most legendary reserves, with 340 species of birds - admittedly 100 less than in the Caprivi Strip, a long finger of animal-rich wetland spiking to the northeast with huge herds of elephant and tiny numbers of visitors.
Head west and the vast Skeleton Coast - a wild, otherworldly landscape punctuated by shipwrecks and bleached whalebones - is the evocative stage for a memorable flying safari. And you're only just starting. To the south, in the central Namib Desert, Sossusvlei has the highest - and perhaps reddest - dunes on the planet, reaching over 300m towards a cyan blue sky, juxtaposed with dry white clay pans.
It's a remarkable landscape, matched by the Fish River Canyon, the second largest on earth: 160km of vertiginous cappuccino coloured rock walls and flat topped buttes. Want to walk it? We'll find the best walking guide to take you.
Then there's the quirky German architecture of Swakopmund, Luderitz and Kolmanskop - a diamond-mining ghost town being swallowed by desert sands. And we haven't even mentioned Walvis Bay, a vital wetland for 200,000 migratory coastal birds, or the Namibrand Nature Reserve, established to protect unique desert ecology and wildlife. Namibia has a lot. An awful lot. And with A&K all possible.

When I named her that the name wasn't even in the top 1,000, and this year is is in the 600!! That's an unheard of jump! I'm not too worried though, in fact I would like it to become a tad more popular so that people will be able to pronounce it easier.
I want Sophie (Howl's Moving Castle) for a girl and am still holding on to Hayden if it's a boy. Hayden has been on our name list for 10 years. I also love Evelyn, Charlotte, Clementine and Jack. Both our girls have traditional names and I'd like to continue the theme. We go less traditional for middle names.
Part hippie-chick, part type-A career woman, all mama. Enjoying life as a wife to my partner of 11 years, and a mama to our smarty-pants toddler, Cadence.

But government says transfer of Commissioner was regular process
A week after the Maharashtra government transferred Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi, citizens and Opposition parties are continuing their protest demanding his reinstatement. The official, known for his stringent action against corrupt officials and demolition of illegal buildings, has served only half his tenure in the twin township near Pune.
Anna Hazare, anti-corruption crusader, has written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan asking why Mr. Pardeshi was transferred. "If honest officials are stopped from doing their duty, people should come out on the streets and protest," Mr. Hazare said.
Mr. Pardeshi, who ordered the demolition of 487 illegal structures after he took charge on May 19, 2012, has earned the name of "demolition man." He disconnected over 200 water connections provided to illegal constructions and drainage lines of 170 constructions. He filed criminal cases against more than 2,000 people for illegal construction.
Sources in the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) say Mr. Pardeshi had been under constant pressure from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to "slow down" his actions which sought to break the corporator-contractor nexus. Last year, he even complained of threats.
He transferred 1,500 officials who had been working in the same department of the Corporation for several years. He suspended more than 40 employees under disciplinary action. To implement e-governance, he introduced the "Sarathi" helpline, through which citizens can register complaints of civic works, challenging the corporators' clout.
Calling his transfer a "cowardly" action, Vijay Kumbhar, RTI activist, said the Chief Minister had buckled under pressure from the NCP. "He is an honest official. We, as citizens, are disappointed that politics interfered with honesty," Mr. Kumbhar said.
However, the State government said it was a regular "administrative process" conducted without bias.

Those with unpaid fines won't get to renew car tags
Those with outstanding fines in Hood County may soon have nowhere to hide.
Tax Assessor-Collector Teresa McCoy will soon be implementing the Scofflaw Program in her office. It is a centralized collection program designed to help clear outstanding warrants and raise revenue for the county through the collection of unpaid fines and fees.
County commissioners approved McCoy's request to implement the program at its regular meeting this week. They agreed to provide McCoy with about $3,600 for needed computer equipment.
Once the program is implemented, the computer system will alert clerks in the tax assessor-collector's office when a person who is trying to renew their car tags has an outstanding fine in the county. When that happens, the tags will not be issued until the debt is settled at the appropriate justice of the peace office.
New car tags will be issued once the customer provides documentation that the fine has been paid or that a payment schedule has been arranged with the JP.
McCoy said that the tax assessor-collector in Bee County was able in six months time to collect more than $22,000 owed to two JP offices.
McCoy said that when she was researching the matter a few months ago, more than $1.2 million was owed to the county through the JP offices.
She advised that anyone with outstanding fines settle up quickly before the program is implemented to avoid any inconvenience.

I tried to keep it short in terms of allowing people to write huge answers. This is why everyone who has been questioned has only been allowed to write 1-2 paragraphs. Now I am not saying all of the below are going to work, they are all a matter of opinion.
One thing for sure is with the amount Google changes and makes updates none of us will ever be sure how we can build links which might not be penalised within the coming years.
The idea of this blog post is to give you some ideas as to what people who have being working in SEO for years think will work throughout 2013.
Industry Experts
Jon Cooper | PointblankSEO | Twitter
Even though it's broad, the method that will take over in 2013 will be helping webmasters in any way possible. Just offering your help and being genuinely helpful, and when you get positive feedback in return, just asking for a link to be repaid in.
For example, broken link building is exactly this, but this will broaden from a practicality standpoint to just about anything, even like for things such as fixing grammar, updating old content, fixing on site SEO/dev issues, etc. I know these tactics have been talked about to some extent, but again, not from a practical standpoint.

2013 will see Google continue to drive out low quality sites from the search rankings, I'm confident that this will result in Google being harder line with traditional link building such as TLA's, low quality guest blogs, sidebar ad's and footer links. I believe that the best link building will be achieved by quality outreach through traditional PR techniques combined with engaging content. This will ultimately result in a natural, relevant and high quality back link
Ned Poulter | Ned Poulter | Twitter
Link building is an area of SEO that has perhaps changed the most over the last 2 years, the Penguin update caused a big shift in recognising link profiles and, most importantly, recognising when links were deemed bad and penalising based on this. Because of this, there has been a real shift in the approach to acquiring links, particularly when looking at the ever-closer relationship of SEO and PR. In 2013 I can only see this relationship developing, many top SEO agencies now actively recruit PRs to sit in their outreach department. Unfortunately there is a general myopia in the SEO industry where many SEOs believe that 'they can do this job anyway' I disagree, most can't; just like many PRs that claim to be SEOs fall short also. Between these disciplines there are genuine mutual beneficiaries and skills that can be learned, or exchanged but we, as SEOs, don't always possess these. The real winners with link building in 2013 will be those that engage this, either by: internally hiring PRs, up-skilling with genuine PR skills, or working closely/partnering with a digitally-savvy PR firm.
Tara West| Koozai SEO | Twitter
I think that link building in 2013 will move away from standard link building methods such as social bookmarking & directories, and continue to become more tailored to each project individually. It will be about thinking of the kinds of links you can get which your competitors might not yet be going after or links that they will struggle to get such as high value PR queries. Keeping your link profile natural will remain extremely important in 2013 and as a result I think link building will take into account the web user a bit more and offer something of value to them, not just Google.
I think the biggest (by which I mean, most successful) link building method in 2013 will be a shift in focus from link building to link earning. That means SEOs are going to have to get serious about relationship building: finding reputable sites we want links from, and working to build ongoing content sharing relationships with them. The best part of this tactic is that it can pay off in multiple links from each site. A progression toward earned links will also mean a decrease in tactics like article marketing, pushing press releases to hundreds of sites, directory listing, or any other tactic that doesn't require a.) a good, link-worthy piece of content and b.) some groundwork to build trust with the sites that link to you. Finally, it will be important for SEOs to pay more attention to community building and management in 2013, as social sharing activity continues to be more important, both as a ranking factor itself and as a way to get your content in front of new people who might want to link to it.
Gary Taylor | TMW Media | Twitter
PR/Social mentions, both physical links and co-occurance of brand names – mentions in press media and social media will keep becoming more and more important and so will Google+ – even though Google have said that it does not directly affect rankings a good Google+ author profile will rank higher than standard content. Fact. – Geographic link building – with so much variation of rankings depending on the location of the searcher having a larger link density in a particular city or region will give that site the advantage. This will be particularly effective in the leisure/attraction and hotel industries for example.
Jamie Farrelly | Jamie Farrelly | Twitter
Personally, I think the biggest link building method in 2013 will be guest posting. I know that when some people hear the words "guest post" they automatically think that it's a spammy way to build links, but in my opinion this isn't strictly true. Fair enough, there are plenty of people who are using guest posts in a spammy way, but there are always people who are trying to take advantage of something that really can work well if used correctly. There are a lot of sites that make it easy to get in touch with other site owners that are looking for guest posts, but I think in 2013 there's going to be more and more people actually trying to build relationships (using Twitter etc.) with other site owners so that they can get quality links, rather than getting a link from some site that is full of guest posts with titles such as "Top 10 iPhone Apps", "5 ways to…" and so on. That's just my opinion, but who knows what's around the corner in 2013, either way it should be interesting!
James Agate | Sky Rocket SEO | Twitter
Frankly guest blogging will probably continue to be "the" tactic of the year in 2013. There's definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about guest blogging so anyone reading this should be careful that they don't just engage in a ever so slightly higher form of article marketing and think they are doing legitimate guest blogging. It is a solid way to acquire valuable links for the purpose of driving referral traffic and improving search engine visibility but it certainly isn't the only tactic you should be using and nothing screams "unnatural link warning" like a link profile distorted by just one tactic. I also think that paid links will make a return as more nervous marketers and their clients worry about the patterns and footprints they are creating with their free uncontrollable and natural links and subsequently head underground again to try and "manufacture" and control more of their own link graph to avoid any nasty surprises when it comes to Google updates. I'm not necessarily condoning this behaviour but I wouldn't blame anyone that feels this way.
That's it some unique ideas on what various industry experts feel will be the best link building tips for 2013. If you have any ideas or thoughts on what you think will be the biggest tip be sure to comment below.

Crown Point Runners will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as part of the grand opening celebration for the new Lake Champlain Bridge.
"The New York/Vermont 5K Champlain Bridge Run," a 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) road race, will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 20.
The course, which will start at the Crown Point, N.Y., State Historic Site, will traverse the bridge into Vermont, return across the bridge and run through the New York State campsite on Lake Champlain before finishing back at the historic site.
"I think runners will enjoy the course, particularly crossing the bridge," said Nancy Ockrin, race director. "It's a unique course."
About 100 runners have registered to date. Race officials expect about 200 to toe the starting line.
The race is being sponsored by the LaChute Road Runners Club of Ticonderoga.
Runners can register online at active.com They can also register by mail and on the day of the race 12:30 to 2:45 p.m. at the British fort inside the historic site. Entry forms are available at the LaChute website, www.lachute.us/bridge/bridge.html Entry fee is $25.
Check-in for pre-registered runners will be 12:30 to 2:45 p.m. at the British fort inside the historic site.
First, second and third place awards will be presented in eight age classes for men and women.
For information contact Ockrin at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 597-3754.
The race is part of a two-day celebration of the bridge May 19 and 20.
The grand opening was scheduled to coincide with the actual bridge completion. When the contractor couldn't give the Lake Champlain Bridge Community a definite completion date, the grand opening was delayed. The bridge actually opened to traffic last October.
Things will get under way with an opening ceremony May 19 at 9 a.m. at Fort St. Frederick at the Crown Point, N.Y., State Historic Site. Following the ceremony there will be a "Meet & Greet" with dignitaries at the Crown Point State Historic Site Museum until 11 a.m.

The Robots Are Coming, The Robots Are Coming
Isamu stands 53 inches tall, weighs 121 pounds and walks at over one mile per hour. Not only that, Isamu climbs up and down stairs, carries four-pound objects in its handlike grippers, and even recognizes human faces via its dual-camera stereo vision system. Isamu also has a brain, which consists of a dual-Pentium embedded computer running RTLinux.
Isamu is the product of a joint project of the University of Tokyo's Jouhou System Kougaku Laboratory (JSK Lab) and the Aircraft and Mechanical Systems Division of Kawada Industries, Inc. (Tokyo, Japan). The goal of the project is to develop testbeds for research on "human interactive motion control technology". For example, Kawada Industries plans to explore possible commercial applications in markets such as construction systems, disaster relief, aids for the disabled, rehabilitation and training devices, and amusement.
In order to mimic humanlike movement, Isamu has thirty-five degrees of freedom: six for each leg, one for each foot (a toe joint), seven for each arm, one for each gripper, two for the neck and three for the eyes. The on-board computer, equipped with dual 750MHz Pentium III processors running RTLinux, provides real-time servo and balance compensation, and coordinates the robot's 3-D vision and motion-planning software modules.
Thanks to an ample battery pack, a wireless Ethernet interface and the powerful on-board computer, Isamu can operate without the need for external cables or constant human intervention. A joystick can be used to direct the robot's movements when human control is desired.
Isamu's bipedal walk, control-system software was developed by the JSK Lab, while the hardware and robotics structures, including the servo-based, level control system, were developed by Kawada Industries. Kawada applied aircraft technologies to the body frame, resulting in a strong and light structure. Visit the JSK Lab's web site (jsk.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp), where you can view some amazing videos showing some of the things Isamu can do.
Empower Technologies has announced what it calls "the world's first major operating system upgrade for Palm IIIx and IIIxe handhelds". A preliminary demo version of Linux DA is available for free download from the company's web site. Although the demo version is limited to only the most basic PDA functions (address, schedule, calculator, notepad and a few games), the commercial version will add functions such as web browsing, e-mail, multimedia and a lot more. The company says its Linux DA was derived from the standard Linux kernel, with the addition of homegrown software for a GUI, database, power management, boot loader, Flash loader, data sync, IrDA and PIM functions. See empower-technologies.com for details.
XOE Device Platform
Transvirtual Technologies, Inc. has closed a four-million-dollar funding round and is using much of the new capital to launch a new Java/XML-based information appliance platform, called eXtensible Operating Environment (XOE). XOE (pronounced "zo' ee") evolved Transvirtual's PocketLinux Linux/Java environment for handheld computers, along with a number of XML-based client and server functions. The result, according to Transvirtual, is "a faster, cheaper and more flexible solution specifically engineered for small, resource-constrained information appliances such as PDAs, web-enabled mobile phones, automotive telematics and TV settop boxes". Although initially targeted to embedded Linux-based devices, XOE will eventually support other embedded OSes as well. See transvirtual.com for details.
Axis Communications, maker of the ETRAX system-on-chip, has integrated over 50 components into a multichip module (MCM) in a standard 27 × 27mm PBGA IC package. Axis says just two external components are needed to end up with a fully functional Linux system: a 20MHz crystal and a source of 3.3 V power. The new MCM contains Axis' ETRAX 100LX RISC-based system-on-chip processor, plus all the most common components normally put in designs based on the device, such as DRAM, Flash, an Ethernet transceiver and "glue" components. Axis says it has run Linux and a small application program successfully, entirely within the MCM's built-in 2MB Flash and 8MB SDRAM. A development board and sample schematics of typical applications for the device are available. Samples are expected in this month. Pricing has yet to be finalized but is expected to be in the range of $50 US (10K units) to $75 (single units). See developer.axis.com for details.

Woman gored during final bull run in Spain
More News from Associated Press
PAMPLONA, Spain — An Australian woman was seriously injured after being gored during the final bull run of this year's annual San Fermin festival in Spain on Sunday. Four other runners were also hospitalized after sustaining cuts and bruises.
The 23-year-old woman was gored in the back and undergoing surgery, a regional government statement said. She was only identified by her initials, J. E.
The woman was struck by a massive Miura bull as she clung to wooden barriers yards outside the bullring entrance, regional health authority spokesman Javier Sesma said.
It is very rare for women to be gored since most of the runners are men. Javier Solano, a San Fermin expert working for national broadcaster TVE, said records showed only two other women had been injured by gorings in the recent history of the fiesta.
Other runners got tossed by the bulls or fell as they ran. The other injured were a 39-year-old man from California, a 23-year-old man from Madrid and two other men from Navarra, according to a statement from the regional government, which organizes the festivities. None of those injuries were classified as serious, the statement said.
Miura bulls are renowned as Spain's largest and fastest fighting bulls, and Sunday's run was quick, taking 2 minutes, 16 seconds to cover 928 yards (850 meters) from stables just outside Pamplona's medieval stone wall to the central bullring.
Despite the animals' size and muscle-bound appearance, experts admire Miuras for their explosive acceleration, stamina and grace, characteristics that inspired legendary Italian car maker, the late Ferruccio Lamborghini, to name one of his iconic sports cars after the breed.
The San Fermin festival, which honors the patron saint of this northern city, dates back to the late 16th century and is also known for its all-night street parties where copious quantities of red wine from Navarra and Rioja are consumed and sprinkled around.
The festivities were made famous by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."
