SEO For Dental Practice Success
The number one goal of your dental practice online is to "get found". You can have the best website on the internet for dentists, but if people don't find you when they do a search for your services + your locale, it's all for not.
It is becoming very competitive locally to show up on the first page of the search engines, especially the big dog…google. Dentists are finally realizing people are using the internet via their smart phones and desktop computers to find a credible practice that is conveniently located.
That awareness among the dental community is creating a need for proper search engine optimization, as well as search engine marketing (PPC).
The second goal of a website is attracting new patients. Your website has to display what you offer, where you're located, and how to contact you "front-and-center" on your homepage.
On-Page Optimization
For that information to get picked up by the search engines you need to have the proper formatting, including page title and description, map and address prominently shown, so people don't have to look for them.
Not only that, but you must have content (text) on the homepage that further describes your services, location, and displays actual patient photos and testimonials (reviews). We see too many dental websites that are what I call 'vanity" sites which have huge images of either the dentist, their building (office), or stock photos of beautiful people with great teeth.
This is a massive waste of valuable online real estate that will not have much value to the search engines of a visitor looking for dental work to be done on their teeth. Instead, think from the visitors standpoint and their needs. When they arrive at your website, what do they need to see quickly that will help them make an informed decision to call your practice?
Know Your Keywords
You know your practice better than anyone. You also know every service (dental procedure) your practice offers. Those are what we call in the search engine world keywords.
These are the terms your potential patient is typing into to google, bing, or yahoo to find a dentist in their locale. It is critical you have these keywords prominently on your website, your main ones on the homepage, with links to more content inside your website.
Not only that, you should also have knowledge of dozens and dozens of more terms people are typing in to find specific information for their dental needs. Once you know these, you need to create content (ie. individual pages, blog posts, etc.) to get them ranked and found on the internet.
If you don't now how to find this out, you might want to hire an SEO company who specializes in dental marketing. There are many of them out there, but do you due diligence to make sure you are investing your money wisely. I have heard horror stories where a local dental implant dentist here in Scottsdale was spending $3500 per month and not getting results. So be aware!
Don't Ignore Video
Google is now showing search results for videos. Mostly youtube videos as they now own youtube. We have seen many of our dental videos ranking on the first page of google, and bringing us a tremendous amount of new traffic.
If you're not implementing a video marketing plan with for your dental practice, you are missing out on a huge opportunity for more traffic, and ultimately new patients.
The beauty of videos is people see you are a real practice, and as the dentist behind the practice, this is a chance to make a more personal connection with your visitors. When they see you on video, they'll see your authenticity, and be more apt to want to call you and not your competitors.
You MUST Have A Dental Blog
If you want to have an advantage over your local competitors, you must have a blog that you write on consistently. This is your chance to position you and your practice as the authority in your marketplace. Having a dental blog like the one you're reading now allows you many new opportunities to get your information out on the net.
This is what we call content marketing!
Providing valuable information that will inform and educate your visitors to better dental health. The more topics you can cover, the better. Google and the other search engines will soon come to realize you are the authority in your area and start ranking you higher for dozens, if not hundreds of terms, that will dramatically increase your traffic and calls to your practice.
Social Media
Google is now showing more social signals in their results. Twitter, facebook and even Pinterest channels are coming up. What's this mean for your practice? Either you need to have someone in your practice, or hire a firm to be active in these channels.
Having these social media accounts, and becoming more active on them will give you much greater exposure all over the internet. Facebook is over 1 billion users now, with many people spending huge amounts of time daily.
PInterest and Twitter are also growing, and more teenagers are now getting on Twitter, so with much of our practice being teenagers you want to be where they are at, which are these social networks.
It is said, google is ranking content that has more social signals (ie. facebook likes, twitter follows, and pinterest), so it's more important than ever to have this working on every page of your website.
Link Building
For the past few years (if not the last decade) people have been gaming the search engines with link schemes, and unethical methods to get first page rankings. Google is very smart, and will not put up with these methods.
They say there are up to 500 total algorithmic updates a year by google, but no one knows for sure. This should be a signal to anyone that google will eventually catch on and penalize your website for it.
One thing is for sure! Getting links for the sole purpose of achieving higher rankings is all but dead. This is also called Blackhat SEO
The better, more natural way is to create great content that is shared by your community of both peers, as well as patients. When you produce valuable content that people benefit from, it is very natural for people to want to share it.
There is much more I can cover, but I think I've given you enough to chew on to get started improving your website traffic and calls to your practice.
If you're overwhelmed, don't be…

iHerb Customer Reviews
Not satisfied with this product
7 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2727227 on Apr 25, 2012
I was misled by other reviewers into buying this product,it in anything but a NATURAL product for it has plenty of synthetic chemicals inside. The label states "no sodium lauryl sulfate..." but if you read the label you will find that it has plenty of chemical cutting agents like sodium methyl-2-sulfolaurate, disodium 2-sulfolaurate and others. In addition the scent is really unpleasant. I would definitely not buy again.
I did not see a better!

I was pleasantly surprised how well the cleanser took off makeup, doesn't dry your skin, and smells wonderful. I would definitely re-order.

A Good Treatment Cleanser

Cleans and moisturizes and smooths skin at the same time. This is the cleaner my husband and I will use from now on. I rub it into my eye area (eyes closed of course). My skin seems softer, smoother and discolorations have lightened too.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsEvents
The 2011 5.0-Liter Shootout - Shootout!
Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Magazine Pits The Baddest 2011 5.0-Liter Mustangs Against Each Other In The 2011 5.0-Liter Shootout
Rick LeBlanc
Dearborn Heights, Michigan
11.25 @ 119 MPHThere is no disputing Livernois Motorsport's ability to make big power. Rick LeBlanc handles the company's advertising and marketing needs, and from time to time, he gets to come to the track. LeBlanc loaded Livernois' 2011 GT up and headed to E-town to show off its newest naturally aspirated combination.
The stock engine was pulled and stripped before being reassembled with new Livernois go-fast goodies. The stock crankshaft was reused with a set of Livernois Motorsports/Manley H-beam connecting rods and Livernois Motorsports/Diamond pistons, which are designed to raise compression to 12:1. The stock cylinder heads received Livernois' Stage 1 CNC port work, and the stock camshafts were reused. The combination was topped off with a prototype intake manifold with a Cobra Jet cold-air intake system and 123mm mass air housing. The engine exhales through Stainless Works exhaust consisting of long-tube headers, X-style midpipe, and axle-back exhaust. Power is transferred to the stock six-speed automatic transmission through a Circle D 4,000-stall torque converter, and 4.10 gears have been added to help acceleration.
"The car has nearly 90 quarter-mile test passes on it," explains LeBlanc. "This new engine combination was installed and tuned only a few days before the shootout. For such a new combination, we are very happy with how it ran!"
The Performance White GT rolled into the burnout box, and LeBlanc heated the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials and headed to the line. When he brought the revs up and traded feet, the car was gone in a flash. The first run netted LeBlanc a solid start to the day with a 12.67 at 96 mph. His next three trips down the quarter-mile showed an improvement of nearly a second and a half as the car bolted to an 11.29 followed by an 11.32 and another 11.29, all at 118 mph.
After giving the car a little extra time to cool, LeBlanc brought the car back to the starting line. The cooler engine temp paid off as LeBlanc rocket down the track to an 11.25 at 119 mph to take the quickest spot in the group of naturally aspirated 2011 Mustang GTs.
Fred Cook
Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania
11.35 @ 118 MPHThe Evolution Performance team has spent equal amounts of time testing in N/A trim as they have with different power-adder applications. The Grabber Blue GT, like the Kona Blue racecar, has served as an R&D tool for the Aston, Pennsylvania-based performance shop. Evolution's N/A Mustang belongs to Fred Cook and was piloted by Nelson Whitlock.
With only 4,200 miles on the odometer, Cook and Whitlock added a Steeda cold-air intake with a 95mm mass air housing to help the 5.0-liter breath a little deeper. The Four-Valve exhales through a set of American Racing Headers headers and X-style midpipe, with a Borla after-cat exhaust system completing the exhaust. Jon Lund, who was on-hand to make changes to both Evolution Performance cars at the track, handled the calibration. The stock torque converter was swapped for a 4,200-stall version from Circle D, and 4.30 rear gears turn an Eaton TrueTrac differential, which distributes power to both wheels.
Coming into the shootout, Cook's Grabber Blue GT made 400 rwhp and 390 lb-ft of torque, and until this point, had run a best e.t. of 11.50 at 122 mph. With Whitlock behind the wheel, the first pass down the famed strip at E-town netted a new best of 11.42 at 118 mph. After a few adjustments, Whitlock headed out for his next pass, which resulted in the first of two 11.35-second passes, both at 118 mph. After two more attempts, Whitlock laid down an 11.41 and an 11.43, both at 117 mph, to finish off an impressively consistent day.

With cloud computing, PeoplePerHour and DeskDonkie founder Xenios Thrasyvoulou finds it easier to complete work outside of the office. Xenios Thrasyvoulou/Twitter
The UpTake: From client relationships to product development, businesses thrive on productivity. PeoplePerHour and DeskDonkie founder Xenios Thrasyvoulou suggests a few ways entrepreneurs can be more efficient and effective in their work.
P roductivity won't only help you in business. Below are 10 things you can do to give yourself more time, in work and in life:
Think of yourself as the customer rather than the boss. The culture of telling people what to do because you're the boss is dangerous. It removes accountability from people taking decisions and creates a safety net. If you're the customer, you can define what really matters to you.
Get out of the office. Today I spend a lot more time working out of co-working spaces, hotel lobbies, coffee shops and other public places. That's the beauty and freedom that cloud computing bestows on us. I find that when I'm in busier and more serendipitous surroundings I think better, focus more and get more accomplished.
Block out time in your calendar to think. For most people, appointments and meetings get slotted in the calendar but more important things like thinking about real, complex problems don't. We think that we will get to them when we have time, or that because there is no physical event we don't need to write them in. In the end they keep getting pushed back. Block time to think about the things that really matter.
Press the reset button every morning. I find that backlogs are very contaminating. They contaminate the past, present and future. In the end you are constantly playing catch-up with yourself. I wipe my backlog clean every day. I wake up with complete amnesia of what I didn't manage to complete the day before and I ask myself what's important for the day ahead. It helps me reset my priorities.

Sure, today is opening day according to ESPN. But for the rest of us, it begins tomorrow.
Got anything special planned? Me; I just plan on being home from work in time to watch it on TV. I'll get some Saranac; maybe have hot dogs for dinner, and enjoy Pedro blanking the Devil Dogs.
Granted it was vs. the bench players; but a decent outing for Fossum yesterday. Let's hope that translates well…not to shabby from Burkett, either.
GAME (almost) ON!
March 29, 2003 in Uncategorized
Derek Lowe with an excellent outing yesterday; great one to springboard into the regular season with. If the rotation holds, I should be seeing Lowe's first home start on 4/13.
Hopefully Fossum has a good 4 innings today as well.
I enjoyed this tidbit from the Globe this morning:
The five relievers responsible for sharing the closer's job have rallied behind a maxim that appears on the back of camouflage-colored T-shirts commissioned by Mike Timlin, an avid hunter. The maxim: "He who is too wrapped up in himself is overdressed."
I also enjoyed the fact that Cablevision Yankee fans are screwed again this year; I only wish Comcast took as tough a stance with YES.
March 28, 2003 in Uncategorized
Must be the Baseball Preview issue of the Globe; a ton of baseball articles today, but mostly fluff. Interesting bit about broadcast conflicts; being outside of the Boston DMA, I think I should be all set; virtually every game on NESN this year.
In case you've never been there, a very interesting place to get insight/opinion on the Sox is the Sons of Sam Horn site. In my opinion; the best thing about it are the Mike F reports (here is yesterdays); composed by a gentleman who spends all of spring training in Florida. Very detailed reports; generally a lot better than what you read in the papers. The guy is an entertaining read; and I get the impression that he knows his stuff.
Another interesting column that I stumbled upon (via a link from another site; I can't remember which one) is actually a Yankee column. The Pinstriped Bible is a good read, and unlike most Yankee columns, seems to take an objective stance on the team. I would suggest starting at the beginning and readin

So with a couple days before negotiations are done; and after another excellent performance, the focus between now and Opening Day will likely be "Does Pedro get his extension?". He says he isn't talking once the season starts; but it appears he has backed off of his stance of "Extend me or bye-bye". I have also softened my stance on the Pedro situation; as I mentioned in the message boards. Head over there and make your 2003 predictions.
Still wondering about the Castillo move. To be honest; I didn't even realize Steve Woodward was on the squad until yesterday's article in the Globe.
And an excellent point brought up in the interview with Theo in today's
March 26, 2003 in Uncategorized
OK, I don't understand cutting Castillo…guy has been solid in relief, is cheap, and has experience. Got comments? Let me know
March 26, 2003 in Uncategorized
Over on the message board, I've got a thread started that we'll keep track of throughout the year…your 2003 predictions. Get 'em in now; I'm going to lock the thread sometime next week.
Yes, in order to post over there, you have to give an email address. No; I'm not giving out the email address to anybody; I just don't want total anonymity and zero accountability over there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SkiBunny Gorgeous, classy, and COMFORTABLE!!! I loved my prior pair of TB wedges, so decided to go for this beautiful shoe (black, 8.5). It is well-constructed, fine detail, nice materials. The peep toe is cut out just enough to show a little toe, but the focal point is still the bow. A gorgeous design that adds class and bonus luxe to your outfit, whether it be for work or with jeans. Comfortable for very long days; my feet are on the very flat side so wedges fare better than flats on those marathon days. Also flatters your legs. :) Very true to size. Go for it! December 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Whitelady Gorgeous I got this pair in nude and try both size 5.5 and 6. This shoe runs true in size and I fit in 5.5 perfectly . materials are soft. The design is elegant and run from day to night. Love it! Would love to have another pair in black but size 5.5 sold out. November 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KatieA Comfortable & Clasic I've been looking for a good pair of nude wedges all summer and finally came across these. They are perfect. Very feminine and classic. Color and height are perfect. I was a bit nervous about the bow at first, but it's very modest and adds a really nice touch to the shoe. The fit is true to size. I know with a lot of Tory Burch shoes, the sizing can vary quite a bit, but I wear a 6.5 normally, and the 6.5 fit perfectly. Love these! I know I will get a lot of use out of them! September 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ally13 Not for me I think these shoes are very pretty but I just did not like them on me. I like a higher heel even if it is a wedge and these seemed a little matronly to me. I also would've needed to size up at least a half size which was strange to me as I own another pair of Tory wedges. August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by yayo Fantastic! Love love love! Super comfortable. The wedge is ideal for all day long wear. They fit true to size, maybe just a tad on the larger side. Normally wear between 5.5 and 6, picked a 6 and it works great. Keeping them and thinking of buying all the colors! July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by lovetory12 love love love! Really like these shoes. They are very comfortable and chic. July 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Camfr7 Beautiful Shoe This is my 4th pair of Tory Burch's shoes. This is far the most classy shoe. I am in love with these shoes, you can dress up; I typically wear pants/slacks or down with jeans and a nice blouse/ top. I have to be honest my upper right foot hurts a little inside the shoe. However, I've only worn them once which means they need to break in. That's my hope, I am definitely in the right size. Overall great looking shoes in both colors. ( I have black) No regrets! I intend to enjoy them. Hope you will too. July 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AccordingToQ The Trudy is AMAZING! This is a great wedge that is extremely versatile. The patent leather is so sleek, and the bow adds just the right touch of femininity. I bought the nude/pink color and it can be dressed up and down. Trudy is super comfortable. The first day I wore them, they lasted my entire 8 hour work day with no problems. You won't go wrong with this wedge. I'm even thinking about ordering it in black. Thanks Tory! July 4, 2014

The days before Christmas were marked in a different way this year by many who were deeply affected by the tragedy of the Newtown shootings on December 14 and the many young lives lost so suddenly. It was a bleak reminder that the potential for violence exists everywhere, even in "safe" communities, even in a season of holy observances. Some people reacted with despair. Others chose to exercise their power to battle violence with knowledge and kindness.
We are fortunate to live in a place which is undoubtedly safer than many regions of the world. The generosity of our region shines through all year long, but particularly during the holiday season. Again this year many businesses, groups and individuals took the time to think about and help those in need this season.
My thanks today are on behalf of those who supported Southwest Crisis Services and its clients this season, although I am sure many other agencies who work with those in need are equally grateful for the community's generosity. It should be a beautiful season but it can be bleak for those who are experiencing abuse, family breakdown, poverty, and other crises. Please be assured that your donations – food, toys, clothing, gifts, volunteered time, and money- were appreciated and helped many families this year.
The impulse to share, to reach out with acts of kindness, is something to be cultivated year-round. We need to work to understand the root causes of violence in many forms in our communities. Rather than feeling helpless we need to feel empowered to say "I do not accept this in my community". It begins with educating ourselves, by asking some hard questions. Why is verbal and emotional abuse accepted in some families and relationships? Why do we allow ourselves to be surrounded by violent games, movies and television shows? Why do we remain silent when we know domestic abuse happens next door? Why have we given up our power?
The massacre at Sandy Hook School in Connecticut was a long way from here. It was a massive, tragic event. Yet all around us, here in our own communities, are "smaller" events of violence on a daily basis: bullying online or on the school ground; financial abuse of seniors; emotional abuse between spouses; sexual abuse. We may have the option to ignore it, but will we ever be the community we want to be if we choose complacency?
We thank all of you who have taken action to help those who experience abuse and interpersonal violence in our region. We also thank those who have reached out to learn more about and work on the issue this past year. And we invite those who would like to know more to contact Southwest Crisis Services for a presentation, or join us at an awareness event this year, starting with "One Billion Rising" on February 14.
Wishing us all a more peaceful community in 2013.
Teresa Cole, Executive Director, Southwest Crisis Services

Pet Care: Moistening food may curtail cat's vomitingDear Dr. Fox: Tell the woman who wrote about her cat throwing up that my 10-year-old Siamese used to throw up daily but now has stopped. My cat didn't chew his food thoroughly, and he ate too fast. I now add ½ cup of water and cover his food so he can't eat it for 20 minutes. It changes the dry food to wet mush; problem solved.
By: By Dr. Michael Fox, INFORUM
Dear Dr. Fox: Tell the woman who wrote about her cat throwing up that my 10-year-old Siamese used to throw up daily but now has stopped.
My cat didn't chew his food thoroughly, and he ate too fast. I now add ½ cup of water and cover his food so he can't eat it for 20 minutes. It changes the dry food to wet mush; problem solved. – C.C., North Palm Beach, Fla.
Dear C.C.: There are many reasons cats vomit their food soon after eating. Some dry cat foods literally draw moisture from delicate mucous membranes, causing irritation to the lining of the stomach or esophagus that may trigger the vomiting reflex. Dry food that is especially high in cereal ingredients is a very unnatural diet for cats and causes various health problems detailed on my website, www.twobitdog.com/
DrFox. These problems are compounded in cats who do not drink plenty of water and are allergic to corn.
Your practice of allowing the dry food to absorb moisture before the cat eats it is one I have long advocated. But to help keep teeth clean, offer your cat some scalded raw chicken wing tips or thin strips of raw beef or turkey gizzard to chew on.
Dear Dr. Fox: We rescued Dakota, a beautiful female English springer spaniel, when she was about 18 months old. Our vet gave her the series of Lyme vaccines, and a couple of days after the second shot Dakota began "air-licking." We took her to several vets, none of whom indicated her symptom was a real problem.
In addition, we gave Dakota heartworm preventive medication because we were told she was HW negative when we adopted her, only to find out she actually had heartworms. Our vet advised us to continue the preventive medication, and when she was retested later, Dakota was HW negative.
Dakota never had symptoms of heart trouble, but her air-licking continued for the next couple of years. We fed her an organic raw meat diet, no grain and filtered water.
About 2 ½ years after we adopted her, she had a major seizure that did not resolve for almost 20 minutes, blinded her right eye and left her completely disoriented. We rushed her to an emergency clinic, where the vets diagnosed idiopathic epilepsy. They put her on a phenobarbital IV while keeping her in a crate where she could be observed. Twenty-four hours later, she went into cardiopulmonary failure and, despite efforts to revive her, died.
Only after her death did we learn that air-licking was actually a focal seizure. We would like your comment about what, if anything, might have been done for her. Could the phenobarbital have caused her death if the dose was too high? – V.W./S.N., Takoma Park, Md.
Dear V.W./S.N.: My sympathies go out to you and poor Dakota.
Air-licking is most often a displacement behavior in animals who are in pain and afraid. Cats and dogs will sometimes repeatedly air-lick when they have an irritating skin condition or abdominal pain.
I think the second Lyme disease vaccination could have caused neurological damage. So can topical anti-flea/anti- tick products you might have used.
Giving the heartworm preventive medication to an already infected dog could kill some of the worms, which break up into emboli that block blood circulation. This might have been the cause of your dog's air-licking and later seizures from brain emboli.
Dear Dr. Fox: I have five cats. Three are 11 years old, one is 9 and one is 5. We've had the youngest for four years; he is a joy!
One of our 11-year-old females, Minnie, has been pooping in inappropriate places for about a year. We had X- rays taken and then were referred to a specialist for an ultrasound, but the vet could not find anything internally wrong with her.
Minnie has been the shy one, and she hides out more than normal. I placed a litter box in the area where she stays the most, but just the other day she pooped in the closet, which is near the litter box. We think Minnie is stressed from Snowball, the youngest. He just wants to play, but he does try and chase her.
The only thing I've changed in the last year was cat litter, from clumping clay to whole-kernel corn. Someone thought it might be the change of litter, but said I also should take Minnie to someone who talks to animals. Minnie has been getting lactulose and pumpkin in her wet food twice a day since September 2010.
I am at the end of my rope with her, and, given her condition, I can't find someone to take her. Can you offer any suggestions? – D.S., Sequim, Wash.
Dear D.S.: In my opinion, Minnie is indeed a stressed cat. She needs a timeout from the younger cat who chases her and wants to play. Many cats who get stressed in this way will become house-soilers, but there are other reasons for pooping outside of the box for you to consider. Do you need more litter boxes, and do you need to clean them more often? Cats avoid dirty boxes, and some develop an aversion to new cat litter. Give Minnie her old brand of cat litter and a new box, or try her on Swheat cat litter, a wheat-based product.
Minnie could also be chronically constipated, so continue to give her the supplements she's on, plus a few drops of Nordic Naturals fish oil for cats. Petting, grooming, daily abdominal massage and some catnip for Minnie may also help. Good luck!

Bacon Love Fridays: From Frying Bacon on Your iPad to Big Fat Bacon Sliders
It's Friday, so it's our favourite time again: Bacon Friday Link Love! This is that thing where we gather up the best bacony stuff from across the Internet, roll it up into a delicious treat, and present it to you! This week, we've got a crazy range of stories, recipes and just weird things, ranging from frying bacon on your iPad to King Curtis. So, without further ado, here we go:
How to Cook Bacon on Your iPad
Yeah, they suckered me in with this, too. You don't actually cook bacon on the surface of the iPad – we'll have to wait a few more weeks before someone tries that. This is actually just an advertisement for stainless cookware, that you can access on your iPad. The idea is that you can move the frying pan around on the iPad and your cooking bacon – thoroughly not sticking to the pan – will easily slide around, too. Still fun, I guess, if you don't have a frying pan and some bacon.
Bacon and Goat Cheese Orzo
The Food Republic provides great recipes – this is one of my recent favourites. Frankly, I think the goat and its attendant cheese are a fairly misunderstood animal/cheese combo, and I am always on the lookout for recipes that help overcome this.
Big Fat Bacon Sliders
Yeah, yeah, we've all seen a bacon burger before. No big whoop there. But this one is a magical treat. Not only does the recipe look amazing, but the Pioneer Woman is pretty good at capturing close-up shots of all of the delicious ingredients she is using to make her meal. And the final product is sorta making my mouth melt into a puddle of saliva. If nothing else, she knows how to tightly wrap a burger in bacon. And that is a skill, yo.
Twisted Bacon
Twisted bacon comes to our attention via DJ Reed Rothschild, noted bacon afficianado and "destroyer" of the Internet. Apparently, some people like to twist their bacon before baking it (I almost typed "baconing it"), and then brushing on some butter? Sounds equal parts wonderful and awesome.
King Curtis
Remember Curtis, the kid on Wife Swap who said that "bacon was good" for him? (If you've forgotten, there's a video here.) Well, someone has realized that this kid has some very good ideas, and should probably be listened to in other areas. Now, here at the Republic of Bacon, we are democracy, so we don't really need a King. But maybe we should offer him the position of constitutional head of our state?


text: I want a movie/tv free break of a couple of years for the EU to expand the PT properly. 2005 - 2013. I want 1-3 years in which NOT A SINGLE sw product will be released so fans can catch up with older stuff they could not afford or get yet and like in the early days, reread stuff a lot for indepth analysis. Not good business. Not good for the franchise. Not good for the fans. I want a Sequel Trilogy that ENDS Sw properly and does not open it to a movietrain of endless moneymaking. Why are we so hasty for it to end? I want EU and Movies respecting and using each other properly, not mockingly. Where's the mockery? I want companies that are honest to fans and admit errors and problems, working on them rather than sitting them out in silence. Sure, it'd be nice if once and a while people were like "yeah, that was a flub... ignore that Even Piell reference in the book." I want West End Games back. I want Dark Horse to stay. Sure, I agree with those two as well. But since WEG is dead, I'll settle for WEG's style coming back.

Dow invests in water technology manufacturing in China
SHANGHAI -- The Dow Chemical Company today announced plans to invest in a world-class manufacturing facility for DOW FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis (RO) elements in Huzhou, China. The new facility will be online in 2013.
"This investment is directly aligned to our growth strategy to maximize value as a leading science company, benefiting our customers in China and the China economy while contributing to Dow's global growth," said Peter Sykes, President of Dow Greater China. "Dow Greater China is built on a solid foundation and we're very confident about our ability to contribute to the China market and customer growth with a business focus which fits China's 12th Five-Year plan."
The proposed facility would deliver local supply security of cutting-edge technology for water desalination and waste water reuse for potable, non-potable and industrial water serving China. The facility would also serve as a sourcing point for global demand, boosting supply of Dow's world-class products worldwide. Additionally, these water technologies will deliver cost-savings through reduced energy usage and excellent operational efficiencies for global customers. The facility joins Dow's ultrafiltration manufacturing facility in Huzhou and ion exchange resin facility in Qingpu, which supply global, market leading products.
"For more than 50 years Dow has demonstrated innovation and market leadership in the water industry," said Ian Barbour, General Manager, Dow Water & Process Solutions. "As the largest reverse osmosis membrane manufacturer with the most advanced technology around the world, establishing a China manufacturing facility at our site in Huzhou represents a significant milestone in the growth strategy for our business. Reverse osmosis investment in China is an integral part of the DW&PS business growth strategy and by following this strategy we consistently enhance our capability. By expanding our manufacturing capacity we are improving our global footprint and strengthening our market position while simultaneously enhancing our global capabilities and competitiveness."
Modern water treatment technology allows industrial economies to advance while minimizing water requirements. Over the years, improvements in DOW FILMTEC™ RO membrane elements have provided a significant increase in the amount of treated water per element while reducing energy costs for water and water reuse projects around the world. Dow technology produces hundreds of millions of gallons of freshwater per day in many sites around the globe, contributing to Dow's overarching goal to further reduce the cost and energy-intensity of water treatment.
"China continues to be the largest growth market for reverse osmosis," said Dr. Wang Xiaolan, Asia Pacific Commercial Director, Dow Water & Process Solutions. "As the global separation and purification technology leader, producing DOW FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis elements in China continues Dow's history of investment in technologies and production capacity to meet the growing challenges for clean and affordable water supply in China needed by our customers and consumers."

"I thought about what I was going to say in this moment so many times and now that I'm at the moment I'm at a little bit of a loss," Lipsitz said just minutes after Kentucky's overtime first-round NCAA Tournament win last autumn. "This is a really special moment for this program. One of the things I talk about is leaving a legacy while you're here ... I was brought here four years ago to make it to this moment."
The huge step forward was emotional for all involved with the program that has done nothing but progress since the fifth year coach took the helm.
Last season's postseason victory marked a major milestone for Kentucky women's soccer, but UK also took another big leap forward last weekend with the program's first win over a top-10 team, at West Virginia.
Lipsitz's reaction to the West Virginia win said a great deal about the state of the 2013 team, and the program as a whole, especially considering how emotional he was following the 2012 NCAA Tournament victory.
"We went into the match at West Virginia expecting to win," Lipsitz said. "I think that's where our program is. It doesn't mean that we didn't expect that last year. That (the 2012 NCAA Tournament win) was a huge momentous occasion that can never happen again. That was the first one.
"This is just a step along the way in a long season so last year I was excited for what that meant to the program, to get over the hump. Beating West Virginia on the road, I was excited for how well we played, but it's a very small step in what will hopefully be a successful and long season."
The Wildcats were no doubt ecstatic to pick up the program's first win over such a highly ranked opponent -- with an emphatic 4-2 score line no less -- but the Wildcats' expectations far exceed one win in September.
Those in and around the UK women's soccer program wouldn't trade the noteworthy victory over West Virginia for very much, and the victory surely turned some heads around the country, but Lipsitz is using the milestone victory as a new challenge to his team. After all, UK, which entered the national polls for the first time in 2013 at No. 19 this week, begins Southeastern Conference play on Friday at Auburn.
Indeed Kentucky is looking to exorcise the demons that go along with a recent history of disappointing results following strong performances.
Take the 2012 season for example.
After an emotional upset win over then-No. 12 Louisville on a Friday night, UK fell 3-1 to Samford two days later. UK defeated top-15 Florida last season as well, but lost to Arkansas the next time out. Again after a hard-fought draw with No. 6/8 Texas A&M in late September, the Wildcats lost 2-1 to Alabama two days later. Even after the NCAA Tournament victory of UT-Martin last November, Kentucky lost to an admittedly superior UCLA team in the second round.
The 2013 Wildcats are looking to prove they're a different group. The Wildcats did well to prove that point in their first opportunity to do so two weeks ago as they topped Dayton 3-1 two days after a 2-0 win over Louisville.
The proposition is very much the same as UK will look to extend its six-game winning streak with Friday's SEC-opening trip to Auburn.
"The SEC is a different level," Lipsitz said. "We as a staff keep telling our young players that they have never experienced soccer at this level. They all thought the Louisville game was tough, but SEC soccer is another animal. I trust my captains and upperclassmen to guide them along the way, and we are looking for a great challenge from a very well-coached and extremely organized Auburn team."

Web Pages from Hell 2
This month my guest blogger is Adrian Pastor (a.k.a pagvac) the founder of In Knowledge We Trust – Security Research Labs and co-author of Exegesis of Virtual Hosts Hacking. Adrian and I have been brainstorming together on various security related projects. He currently works as a security analyst and researcher involved in high-profile web application testing. In this post Adrian expands on topic of Web Pages from Hell.
After playing with the XSS vulnerability found by pdp and dwk in Sage RSS reader (Firefox extension), I thought
OK fine, we got script execution within the local context since Sage stores the feed on the local system, but how come Firefox never even displays a warning to the user??!!
Update: dwk found another RSS XSS vuln on the latest version of Sage (1.3.8 at time of writing). Additionally, Rick also found another RSS XSS vuln on the latest version.
This means that if someone sent you an HTML file and you double-clicked on it from your desktop for instance (local context scripting), anyone could steal any local file that your user's account has access to – without FF ever showing a warning!
Of course we could use something like ActiveX objects in IE to list files in directories, read them, modify them, and even create new ones. However, the point of this experiment is that we
harmless HTML file locally. I said almost because some files can only be accessed by the
SYSTEM account, and others are locked by processes that are currently accessing them.
I created a very simple PoC HTML file that steals Mozilla Firefox
cookies.txt file when launching it locally and sends the file to the attacker in base64 encoding. Needless to say,
cookies.txt contains the cookies for all the domains accessed by the victim. So, unlike XSS attacks, now we're not restricted to the context of the vulnerable site.
Here are the results of the test. Tested successfully with no security warning displayed to the user in the following versions of Firefox (Windows version):
- Mozilla Firefox 1.0
- Mozilla Firefox 1.5
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0
However, we do get a security warning on the following versions of IE, so the user needs to be fooled to ignore the warning in order to get local JavaScript running:
- Internet Explorer 6.0
- Internet Explorer 7.0
- script execution of the PoC HTML file can be very slow depending on the size of your Firefox
cookies.txtfile, so please be patient if you have never deleted your cookies since you installed Firefox!!
- the assumption for this HTML file to work is that it is launched somewhere within the Windows user's home folder. i.e.:
C:\Documents and Settings\ap\Running it from the
My Documentsfolder (for instance) should work regardless of the language version of Windows!

I think you have a bit of an overreaction. The thing is, the author wants to make a statement about this universe they have created. It is an oppressive regime that takes away the innocence of a child, or at worst a life, that keep the masses in fear. The more food they borrow, the more likely they will be picked. It is about coming from the poor and showing the upper class who's boss. (Especially in the end scene with Peeta and Katniss. "They don't have to have a winner.")
As a society outside of the book, we don't condone these things by showing them on our screens and reading about them. You almost have to desensitize yourself in order to learn the message the series is trying to teach. You can't compare your morals regarding children death matches to this series because we didn't grow up where the Hunger Games looms annually. Instead, we have to look at it objectively and hopefully: better ourselves.
Look at your nieces. There are two or more ways to interpret every story: Face value, where it is children in a death match for entertainment of the crowd. Or, with an analytical mind: a story of rags showing the upper class whose boss, and creating a revolution. A satire on how media in our world makes contestants in a dog-eat-dog world or for people to put themselves in danger for cheap media entertainment. (And many more ideas)
I found this video difficult to watch malniy because the people were so confused and affluent. Giving more money to someone will not guarantee that they will live out what God has planned for them. I felt sorry for them and would have liked to suggest to them that they give me some of their money and let me show them what to do with it. Seriously, I did not hear any of them speak about doing something for others or their moral beliefs.Interestingly, one of the interviewees mentioned how they went to a Christian school and was beaten up. I guess in that case his introduction to Christ was not a positive one. Some of the things that make the rich nervous also make poor nervous. The rich children worried about how to hold on to their money and the poor worry about how to get it. The rich are worried about someone knocking on their door saying you did not do something right, so now I am disowning you. The poor worry about someone knocking on their door saying your time is up and now you have to get out or bill collectors hounding them. There will always be worries that can overcome us when we live in a hollow life such as what was viewed.True freedom is knowing that God is in control and no matter what we see, these things are all temporal and we have a job to do. Seek the kingdom! All the other things will be added if we do the first step.These are just my thoughts..
In an address to the Catholic Media Convention in Indianapolis, Archbishop Charles Chaput laid out why the Catholic Church and the U.S. Bishops is fighting for religious liberty and locked in a standoff with President Obama's administration over the HHS mandate. In addition, Archbishop Chaput addressed how the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is recovering from the sexual abuse crisis.

Drinking or using drugs during pregnancy increases the chance of
miscarriage as well as the risk of having a baby with
physical and emotional problems. These problems can range from mild
problems to severe birth defects.
Fetal alcohol syndrome is a combination of physical and mental birth defects caused by
exposure to alcohol before birth. About 1 in every 1,000 babies is born with
fetal alcohol syndrome.
A baby born with fetal alcohol syndrome
may have:
Marijuana use can cause premature delivery, small size, and
low birth weight. Cocaine and amphetamine use can cause spontaneous abortions,
preterm labor, and low birth weight. A baby of a mother addicted to heroin,
cocaine, or amphetamines may experience severe symptoms of drug withdrawal
shortly after birth. Also, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection can be
transmitted from shared needles used to inject drugs. HIV can then pass to the
baby from the infected mother before birth.
Some of the damage
caused by alcohol and drug use can occur very early in pregnancy. If you are
thinking about becoming pregnant, stop drinking or using drugs before trying to
become pregnant. Exposure to drugs or alcohol is particularly damaging during
the first 3 months (first trimester) of pregnancy. Some women do not even
realize that they are pregnant during this time.

INDIANAPOLIS - A local man was charged in federal court Tuesday with receiving and possessing child pornography. The charges resulted from an investigation conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department; the Hamilton County Child Exploitation Task Force; and the Indiana police departments of Carmel, Fishers and Noblesville.
Fred Bogus, 50, of Noblesville, Ind., was charged Nov. 16 in the Southern District of Indiana. The charging document alleges that on Sept. 8 Bogus received child pornography images and videos via the Internet. Bogus also allegedly possessed additional images of child pornography on Oct. 18 when he was arrested. The charging document further alleges that Bogus has separate, previous convictions in Indiana state court for child molestation and possessing child pornography.
Bogus has remained in custody since his arrest. If convicted, he faces up to 40 years in prison. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Brant Cook, Southern District of Indiana.
A federal information is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

The Vampire Diaries
When Is The Vampire Diaries Season 2 Finale?
We don't like it any more than you do, but all good things must come to an end. And that includes Season 2 of The Vampire Diaries. Mark your calendars for May 12, because the last episode, "As I Lay Dying," is bound to include spells, curses, and spilled blood. Yep.

5 Things We Learned About Revenge Season 2, Episode 3: "Confidence" From the Spoiler Photos: Did Emily Thorne and Aiden Mathis Just Kill Someone?
We're anxiously awaiting this Sunday's new Revenge episode, "Resurrection," but we also couldn't ignore these scandalous new spoiler photos from Revenge Season 2, Episode 3: "Confidence"!
Check out our analysis below!
1) Jack and Emily Share Another Moment
Guys, we need more than one emotional-filled kiss post-Sammy the Dog! The sexual tension between these two could be cut with a knife, and since the White-Haired Man's around, we're sure he could provide the weaponry. We already know that Jack's willing to do basically anything for the women he cares about, so why won't she just tell him her true identity?
2) Jack and Amanda Are Back on a Kissing Basis
Sorry to upset your stomach, but it seems that Jack and Amanda have resolved their differences and are making out again. That just doesn't seem sanitary.
3) Amanda — Gasp — Wears Appropriate Maternity Wear!
We didn't think the pole dancing princess had it in her! Here we see Amanda in some very becoming maternity wear. Since she's not looking like her usual trashy self, we can assume that Jack found a new means of income — or that her sugar daddy (and potential baby daddy) Takeda is back in town.
4) A Newcomer Visits The Stowaway
We spy with our little eye ... a brand new character! This polo-tucking newbie is Kenny (played by Teen Wolf's JR Bourne), "A magnetic, self-assured, Hamptons resident who tries to hide his rough edges behind his fancy clothes and Mercedes." So what is he doing in The Stowaway?
He seems to be handing Jack Porter his ID. Is he interested in bartending, Daniel Grayson-style?
5) Aiden and the Body
Emily's mysterious (and sexy) British love interest has a dark past. He trained in revenge school with Ems and Takeda, and we hear he's betrayed her in the past. But from the looks of this sequence, he's back in a big way. (Clockwise from top left) We see him enter Emily's house with a gun. Next, we see Emily and Aiden talking while a body lies on the ground. Then we see them going through someone's wallet. And finally, we see a very concerned looking Ms. Thorne in a heated convo with her new boy toy.
Our guess? Aiden came in and shot someone trying to attack Emily. They then go through that person's wallet for clues, Emily gets upset, and Aiden tries to calm her down. Heavy stuff! But who does the body belong to?

Bruce Springsteen Helps Raise $50 Million At Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert
Bruce Springsteen, who performed at last week's 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy relief concert at NYC's Madison Square Garden, helped raise $50 million for organizations assisting victims of the storm.
According to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, the organization charged with distributing the funds, 40% is going to New Jersey-based charities, with the rest slated to go to charities in New York and Connecticut.
The $50 million figure was raised through ticket sales, merchandising and auctions at the concert.
The money should keep rolling in as the 12-12-12 concert album, featuring two Boss tracks ("Land of Hope and Dreams" and "Wrecking Ball"), is now available digitally, with proceeds going to Robin Hood. Others featured include Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, the Who and Bon Jovi.

Casa2G90 - Getting Ready, Stucco Questions
1 Attachment(s)
The freight company will be dropping the oven kit off on Monday and I am gearing up to do assembly. My base (pictured) was finished last week.
I understand that water is an enemy until the final coat of stucco goes on, so should I'm planning on tarping if rain interrupts the build. I've read through the instructions several times and I think I've got the assembly down. I'm planning to finish it as a gray igloo.
I'm new to stucco, so is there a primer online worth reading? Products worth recommending? I hear there is a partial vinyl stucco that I should use as the final coat. How long should I wait between coats, how many coats, etc? Any and all stucco advice is appreciated!
Re: Casa2G90 - Getting Ready, Stucco Questions
What we did was after the Ceramic Insulation we wrapped our igloo in chicken wire and tie wired it all together to keep the nice shape. Then we coated it with poormans mortar...... let it dry one day. then next day I use "STO" Stucco then after it dried I put another coat on it. you can look at my build if you want to
Re: Casa2G90 - Getting Ready, Stucco Questions
Hi Chris, I am getting a Casa 2g90 in the Spring, this winter I will build the stand for it. Can you tell me the exact width and lenght of your 2g90 as it sets on the stand, I am also going to have the brick arch. will this effect the length ? I don't want any over hange. .... Doug

|About these ratings
While New York has Fifth Avenue, Tokyo boasts the über luxurious Ginza. Elite residents will tell you that you should head to this neighborhood to do your heavy-duty shopping. While mega department stores like Matsuya and Hankyu dominate the landscape, designer retailers like Chanel and Cartier also maintain a presence. We caution you against splurging on a shopping spree in Ginza because you'll find most of these fashions in the United States at cheaper prices. That said, visitors enjoy simply exploring this bustling neighborhood. One recent TripAdvisor user exclaims, "Long boulevards of designer shops […] with Louis Vuitton and Cartier thrown in for good measure. The streets are somewhat reminiscent of Manhattan." Plus, you'll discover some of the best restaurants in Tokyo here.
Ginza is very centrally located and easy to reach. Multiple subway stations service this neighborhood, but the Ginza Station will place you in the heart of the action. And when you've exhausted your credit card, head to the nearby Imperial Palace East Gardens for some peace and quiet. With all of its shops and eateries, Ginza rarely calms down, but, in general, the stores open around 10 a.m. and close near 8 p.m. each day.

The WR250 R yammie if you have lots of money, or the 250 Kawi if you want cheaper, or the little Yammie TW200 looks like fun. Or something in the 250 family from Suzuki as well.
I think 250 the recipe. The 400cc and 650cc family starts to get heavy, bulky, and spendy. Sure, there are exceptions, I just dont think the kind of boonie riding you are talking about requires lots of CC's. I have the same quest as a second bike. My KLR too piggish for some terrain.
Just the three that pop into my distorted mind. A KTM or Husky certainly great choices too, but... $$$
it's largely "ride what ya got".... but constantly picking up a bigger bike gets old..

This year's applications for the annual Geoffrey Roberts travel award were the strongest set for a long time and for the first time in six years the award has gone to a winner in wine, Geoffrey's original speciality, rather than food.
Derek Mossman Knapp [email@example.com] of Chile (pictured left) will spend the award, worth £3,000 or $4,500, encouraging artisan wine production from dry-farmed old vines in southern Chile in the wake of this year's earthquake. He plans to spend a year travelling through old vine country 'in a beat up red truck that blends in' in an attempt to publicise, and engender respect for the proper use of, the grapes produced by historic vines such as the ancient Carignan plant shown here.
'I believe many who live with very little, and now have much less,' he says, 'would be better served to develop their fruit into something the higher-end modern wine industry needs instead of a commodity where they will always be slowly losing out against the powers of the market economy. I will be looking for Carignan, and also Malbec and Cabernet Franc. I will also be looking for old-vine Pais/Mission worth grafting to noble varieties. I have seen this happen to more than one family with only a few hectares of Carignan and I think it could be coaxed into happening more often to benefit more families.'
At his own Garage Wine Co, part of the MOVI group of small Chilean wine producers, his aim is to 'try and be an example for Maule growers of how they might, on a similarly small scale as ours, produce their own wines as their forefathers did before them'. On the left is the matriach of a family of vine growers in Maule. Runner-up for the 2010 Geoffrey Roberts Award is American wine writer Alice Feiring (pictured here on www.alicefeiring.com), who is hard at work on a book Naked Wine about her speciality, 'natural wines'. According to this dance-therapist-turned-wine-writer, whose first wine book had the provocative subtitle, How I Saved the World from Parkerisation, 'Right now the world of wine is definitely at a crossroads, not just for organic or biodynamic viticulture but also for a more pure way of wine making. Why is wine so important? Because in its highest form, the creation of a fermented grape juice is where nature, art and man come together in a very special and magical place. We've been through its industrialisation and now we are on the brink of a return to the past, to wines that are artisanal and driven by passion.'
The judges also gave a special commendation to two strikingly similar applicants. Mary Buschell of Michigan and Wendy Johnson of California both work with goats on a farm. Both applied for a Geoffrey Roberts Award to help them travel to north-west Italy to research farmhouse techniques for making goat's milk cheese. They have been put in contact with each other and with Patricia Michaelson, proprietor of La Fromagerie in London and author of the authoritative Cheese.
The Geoffrey Roberts Trust is a registered charity established in memory of the pioneer importer of California wines into the UK. It is therefore appropriate, although purely coincidental, that all of those cited above are based in the Americas. This year's applications came from all over the world, including Kabul and South Africa.
The judges were Neville Abraham CBE, founder of Les Amis du Vin in the UK, Sally Clarke of Clarke's restaurant in London, food writer Jill Dupleix of Sydney, honorary secretary Venetia Lebus, Willie Lebus of Bibendum Wine, who once worked for Geoffrey Roberts, wine writer Jancis Robinson and restaurant writer Nick Lander.
The last wine-based winner was Shalva Khetsuriani, who in 2004 travelled from his native Georgia to the fine wine regions of France. For details of other winners since this annual travel award was first made, in 1996, see www.geoffreyrobertsaward.com, where there are also details of how to apply.
Applications for the 2011 Geoffrey Roberts Award will be welcome during the first three months of next year.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (PRWEB) February 28, 2014
With over 1.6 billion Muslims around the world and an Islamic economy measured at $8 trillion, it is only a matter of time before a global gold-based currency is back on the market, says Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance. Muslims consider fiat currency — the kind backed only by a government — to be problematic because it is not based on a physical commodity like gold or silver. For many Muslims, a gold backed currency is an idea whose time has long since come.
There have been regional efforts in South East Asia and North Africa to use gold based currencies, but a global currency eludes the world's Muslims. Such a currency need not undermine the dollar or the euro given the general acceptance of these currencies, but it would provide many with an alternative. With currencies like Bitcoin already fast gaining acceptance, it is not long before smaller currencies begin to supplant the traditional mainstays.
"Islamic finance is based on an Islamic economy that is backed by assets. At the center of this is an asset backed currency. As long as we base our dealings on fiat money, we will never experience Islamic finance as it was meant to be. Governments, regulators, and scholars should work together to create a global, gold-based currency," said Ethica's spokesperson.
Experts say that because the fractional reserve banking system enables banks to lend money they do not possess – often much more money – economies are always caught in a precarious bubble of varying size and consequence. This bubble is based on the creation of 'wealth' without a commensurate creation of assets. Dubai, with its stated ambition to become the capital of the Islamic economy, and Abu Dhabi, with the respect it commands regionally as a cash rich hydrocarbon center, would be well suited to jointly launch a parallel gold-based currency based on a gold dinar.

Hey there!
I am reading Good Omens at the moment and enjoying it very much. I was wondering where a good place to start in the Discworld books. Specifically I was wondering which series to start with? Should I start with the first book? Having looked at some topics here it looks like people recommend starting with Guards! Guards! and reading that series?

Two engineering students can add the letters "Ph.D." to their resumes after last week's summer hooding ceremony at Tennessee Tech University.
In a small ceremony in the president's conference room, Zhe Chen and Ling Tang received their doctorates and their hoods, the regalia marking the degree.
"TTU is proud to award these two students with the highest degree we offer," TTU President Bob Bell said. "The research they have done is a testament to Tech's commitment to engineering research."
Chen's dissertation, "Cognitive radio network: Architecture, algorithms and testbed," proposes ways to sense, predict and access holes in the radio spectrum with experimental evaluations for cognitive radios and suggests a system and design for a large-scale testbed. Cognitive radios automatically switch frequencies to use holes in the limited spectrum to improve efficiency. His advisor is Robert Qiu, professor in the Center for Manufacturing Research. P. K. Ragan hooded him.
Ling's paper, "Transfer of uncertainty of space-borne high resolution rainfall products of ungauged regions," focused on ways to monitor rainfall in areas that rely solely on satellite-based systems, which are not always accurate. Her advisor, Fasial Hossain, TTU civil and environmental engineering professor, was present at the ceremony to put on her hood.
The Ph.D. in engineering is an interdisciplinary degree program composed of chemical, civil and environmental, electrical and computer and mechanical engineering courses, as well as computer science.
The university awards doctorates three times a year: in the winter, spring and summer. The summer ceremony is usually the smallest of the three.
