2 More Ways To Become An Authority Blogger
This morn I tweeted a link to Four Ways To Become An Authority Blogger, a guest post by Roko Nastic on Donna Fontenots blog about making money online.
The executive version of that post:
- Write less
- In every post write more
- Dont comment or speculate; meditate on past events
- Attract high quality guest posters
Minutes after tweeting the link Lisa Barone commented:
Both Lisas comment and the original post demonstrate two more ways in which you can become an authority blogger.
One: Disagree
Especially when something is stated with an absolute kind of authority, an emphasis that leaves little room for well, I mean, what I really meant to say is, disagreeing with what is stated immediately casts upon you the Aura Of Authority (movie music moment). Heads turn towards you and people wait to see what youve got to back up your yeah rrright <eye roll>.
Disagreeing with someone says I know better " and if youre a good writer you can actually follow that up with an heres why. The heres why is what convinces people you do know better. Bingo, authority.
Also, depending on the status of the person youre disagreeing with, disagreeing can be a sort of authority or expertise by association: Heres why Bill Gates is wrong on Windows core code. See what I mean?
Now Lisa is one of the best bloggers out there with a well established reader base and obvious authority so she doesnt actually need to follow up her disagreement with details on the why: the ball would, and is, automatically in Rons court this way. Other less established bloggers would preferably do a quick tweet or post on the whys.
Two: Cause Disagreement
This works especially well if you cause disagreement in a field somewhat related to your own but isnt the core of your expertise.
By stating a sort of half-truth or something ridiculous you can cause people to come out of the woodworks and go thats wrong!. Now heres the funny thing " obviously for people to disagree with you youd have to Be Someone (more boombastic movie sounds). That is how people " from your readers to potential customers -- experience that.
If what you say is plausible and " even better " a populist view or experience, people demonstrating just how wrong you are arent seen as correcting you your readers think theyre disagreeing with you; you have your expert opinion, they have theirs
Amazing, isnt it?
Heres What You Can Do Today
- You know what you know; youre good at what you do: be the teacher in your posts
- Share your knowledge
- Dont disagree to disagree but do point out incorrect information that could harm your reader base
- Dont be afraid to state what you think; use your own voice
Have you seen these strategies applied in the wild? Do you use any of these strategies accidentally or on purpose? Or do you use other ways to establish yourself as The Authority?
My paid passion at Search Engine People sees me applying my passions and knowledge to a wide array of problems, ones I usually experience as challenges. People who know me know I love coffee.

Hey. Normally I probably WOULD have followed up the assertion, however, I'm in the middle of liveblogging a conference so there's not really time. I just happened to see that pass through my tweet stream and was disappointed. I may follow up once I get back later this week, though. I do think it starts an interesting conversation.
Hm, here's the thing though. If the person disagreeing, does so in a venue that's separate and removed from the original post, then it's highly likely that the original author can't respond. He'll probably never see her authority play, so in essence, she never has to back up what she says. (Knowing Lisa, she probably will, but she doesn't have to. The original author won't have a chance to disagree, and so Lisa wins by default).
Still, in terms of an authority play, you're right. It's a great move by Lisa. Instant authority! Bam! (Again, not that Lisa necessarily needs it, but we're just showing here what the possibilities are).
It would be better however, if Lisa would comment on the actual post. At least then, the original author might get a chance to respond. (Currently, I'm the only one who is responding though, so I'm not sure if the author will come back around or not).

I totally agree, Donna. Had I been home I definitely would have commented on the post and created a discussion there. As I mentioned to Ruud, I just happen to be at a conference liveblogging right now so I was just making a quick comments. It is something I plan to come back to.
Well, I think it would be better if there was a back and forth, Ruud. All kinds of good info might come out of that.
Personally, I can see both sides, and I think it may come down to personality, subject matter, and audience as to which is better. And maybe the real answer lies somewhere in between.
In any case, it's fun to see different viewpoints emerge.
.-= DazzlinDonna recently posted: niche research =-.
Regardless of authority, it'd be nice to know what Lisa thinks about the alternative ways of earning one and why the suggested ways are wrong.
I don't see why anyone would have to defend himself without an open insult response post about the topic.
.-= Yura recently posted: About Yura Filimonov =-.
Yura, I wasn't really thinking the author needed to defend "himself" so much as just defend the position he took. I see it as a debate of sorts. Everyone should get a chance at rebuttal in a debate I'd think (not that I'm an expert at debate). I don't think it matters a great deal, but it just makes the discussion more interesting. Rather than a one-off tweet, getting the two sides together would be a good learning experience for everyone.
Oh, and if I have to refresh that darned recaptcha below another 100 times like I've had to do each time I comment, I'm going to go all AUTHORITY on that captcha and kick some captcha @ss! I can't read any of those danged words.

Hi..thanks for this great article..it's something that I think can be taken into consideration when someone really want to become an authority blogger in a specific niche. To me it really depends , what I mean here is as a blogger , it's recommended he/she really knows what they're writing about. In other words , do some reading , do some research and then only what you share will benefit readers rather than writing something based on thought. Then lets say if they want to disagree on something they can backup the disagreement by pointing to the source of information just like what we see in a court where every lawyers must backup all their disagreement with facts. Same goes if someone want to become an authority blogger.

First Day Of Free Agency Is Not Interesting
March 13, 2013 at 02:05am by Scott • 11 Comments »
The first day of free agency came and went for the Bucs and it was a lot like last year, except instead of three big name free agents they got zero. But that doesn't mean they're not looking around. In fact, Dashon Goldson is making Tampa his first free agent visit.
On Tuesday, the 49ers All-Pro boarded a private jet charted by the Buccaneers and flew across the country to Tampa Bay where he could become among the highest-paid safeties in the NFL today.
And somewhere Ronde Barber is regretting playing so aloof with his retirement talk. If the Bucs sign Goldson, the only way Barber comes back is as a backup safety/nickel corner and he's not the kind of guy to take on that kind of role.
And the Darrelle Revis to Tampa talk is still getting traction in the media.
The Jets are believed to be seeking a first-round pick. Even if the teams agree on draft compensation, the Bucs would have to reach a contract extension with Revis, who wants $15 million to $16 million per year despite playing in only two games last season because of a torn ACL in his left knee.
And we all know Mark Dominik is smart enough to not cash in the #13 pick for a player who is going to cost so much coin and still won't be happy with it next year. Then again…
Devious pranksters with too much time of their hands appear to have conducted an interesting (and probably illegal) experiment that put Bucs general manager Mark Dominik on Front Street.
On Friday, just before the start of the NFL's three-day free-agent negotiating period, the pranksters, after making a call to Bills general manager Buddy Nix posing as Dominik, somehow got access to the eventual callback from Nix to Dominik.
They surreptitiously recorded the 5-minute call and shared the clip with Deadspin.com. In it, Dominik laments the uselessness of the negotiating period and discusses his efforts to trade running back LeGarrette Blount and receiver Arrelious Benn (he claimed there's some interest in both).
Just kidding, Mark. This isn't your fault. And "probably" illegal is bullshit. It's definitely illegal. Florida's wiretapping law is very clear about both parties needing to give consent to record a call. Reading the article, Dominik didn't say anything out of line or even anything very surprising. He wanted to trade Blount? The hell you say! And I actually didn't remember Benn was on the team until I read this article, so if he can get anything at all for him, he wins Trade of the Year honors.
The only thing that was a little revealing is that he is looking to move Jamon Meredith, which may tip his hand that he is looking to take a right tackle early in the draft, which I think is great because the draft is deep at tackle. D.J. Fluker (Alabama) and Lane Johnson (Oklahoma) will both still be there and should even be available lower than #13 if the Bucs can trade down. Fluker is a monster and paired up with Davin Joseph on the right side will provide running lanes on the right all day long. Fluker has slow feet, though, and needs to work to be more nimble if he is going to be an elite tackle. Johnson is the opposite — quick feet and an excellent pass protector, but only an average run blocker. That's because he doesn't have the same size as Fluker (he is a former junior college quarterback) but he's got all the smarts and skills to keep Josh Freeman clean on the right.
So yeah, kind of a waste of a prank and a wiretap. Next maybe they'll catch Dominik reading a grocery list to his wife. And then they can try to make something interesting out of that. "Dominik, in a stunning revelation, said he prefers RC to Coke or Pepsi. We always knew the Bucs were cheap!"
REAR ENTRIES: Can Any Of My Readers Play Guard?
November 15, 2012 at 12:48am by Scott • 5 Comments »
MEREDITH ON CRUTCHES: So here's a fun little tidbit. Jamon Meredith, the guy nobody heard of a few months ago and who has been on the team briefly enough that the Times needed to run with a photo of him in a Giants uniform and who is currently starting in place of Davin Joseph, rolled his ankle and is questionable for Sunday.
"We don't have that many more moves left," coach Greg Schiano said.
That made the sight of starting RG Jamon Meredith leaving the locker room on crutches Wednesday afternoon concerning. He was limited at practice after rolling an ankle. The severity of the injury was unknown.
[emphasis mine because holy shit.]
The article says Roger Allen is his backup. I know the Bucs have had some good luck with all the line shifting so far, but they're digging so deep into the roster that I don't know who these people are. If Allen gets hurt, they may want to just put a big foam helmet on Captain Fear and stick him in there.
LEONARD JOHNSON'S PICK SIX: The Tribune has a nice personal interest story about Leonard Johnson couched in the story of his pick six last week. It's well-written, it's got heart without being sappy, and heaven help me it's by Martin Fennelly. Seriously, he just kind of lets the story happen and doesn't get in the way too much with his nonsense. It is the best piece I've read of his in years. Maybe the Mayans were right.
PRO BOWL: If you haven't done it already, go to the Pro Bowl site and vote every Buccaneer into the Pro Bowl. So far, Ronde Barber is leading the free safety vote. Everyone says it's just a popularity contest, which is fine since being popular is more important than ANYTHING.
REAR ENTRIES: Figuring It Out
October 04, 2012 at 09:36am by Scott • 1 Comment »
BARTH GETS PROPS: If you had to pick an MVP for the first quarter of the season, you'd have to give strong consideration to Connor Barth, which might make some of the guys who actually make contact on every play a little upset, but it's the truth. Placekicking is an all or nothing game. If he had missed a couple key field goals, no one would have a problem making him the goat of the first quarter, so he should also get the credit when he is doing well. This article is about Barth's preparation and kicking process and gives more attention to the position than it gets in a full season. Here's the best part of it:
"I'm not an expert on kicking," said Schiano. "I know just enough to be dangerous. But I also know enough to stay away from him and let him keep doing what he's doing."
Exactly. Let him have the mustache and the yoga and the goat's blood (I may have imagined that last one) and get out of his way.
TRUEBLOOD INACTIVE: It's not often you see a five-year starter inactive when healthy, but that's what's happening to Jeremy Trueblood now. Demar Dotson is entrenched as the starter at right tackle and Trueblood wasn't even active as a backup. He explains why.
"I'm a right tackle," Trueblood said. "That's just what it is. I've never played anything else. (Schiano) told me straight up. He said, 'The other guy (Jamon Meredith) can play guard and tackle, so you're inactive.' I can't question a man's decision."
No, I guess he can't. And Trueblood is being a good teammate about it. I looked at the roster and the only backup linemen they had active were Meredith and Cody Wallace, who plays both guard and center. So Schiano's lineup makes sense as long as Meredith is also the superior guard to Wallace. If Meredith gets hurt, they'll definitely activate Trueblood to start the following week. But Trueblood is very likely looking at his last season in Tampa. And that's a shame because I've still got a whole file full of false start jokes.
STEVE WHITE BREAKDOWN: Ask and ye shall receive. After wondering how the breakdown in the last drive of the Redskins game happened and who was to blame, Steve White laid it all out very neatly (with photos!) in a blog entry. On the tight end pass, he shows what happens but can't tell who the guilty party is. But on the quarterback run up the middle, he makes it more clear even if in the end he still clams he doesn't know who is right or wrong.
Remember again that with a zone blitz that the blitzer comes from one side and the defensive line slants in the opposite direction. Well the defensive linemen all slanted to the right this time but there was no blitzer coming from their left (red line).
Instead Ronde (again blue arrow)came up and appeared to be blitzing from the right (orange line) which is the same direction the defensive linemen were slanting towards.
Complicating matters further is that the right defensive end (red arrow) dropped (red line) as a curl/flat defender as he would if the blitz was supposed to come to the left. So even if Ronde was just coming up to cover the running back as he eventually did, there was no need for him to be there in coverage.
So at least the scheme indicates that Ronde should have come from the other side. Now, Ronde is a 16-year veteran and knows how and where to blitz, but he's also new to this scheme and new to his safety position. So maybe he just screwed up. It happens. White also takes a second to lay a little blame on the coaches for the call. Not much, but he does mention it.
I don't know how much the Bucs practice two minute drill during the week but the only blitzes you run during such a critical time of the game are the ones the players have shown you they know in their sleep. There is no excuse for this happening not once, but twice, at the end of the game.
If the blitz had worked and RGIII was sacked on that play, the call would have been brilliant and we'd all be praising Schiano for maintaining his aggression even through the last second. As it is, people are calling him too aggressive and pounding him for blitzing too much. But we've seen lots of examples where defenses sit back soft and the quarterback just picks them apart underneath. The Redskins only needed a field goal and they had plenty of time to get there (and that clock management bullshit is totally on Schiano) so he wanted to put the game in his hands and live or die on his own terms. And this time he died by them. But I at least respect going down swinging and I think others do as well.
But make no mistake, that kind of feeling doesn't last long if you don't get a few wins using that strategy. It's a short step from aggressive to foolish.
Less Noteworthy Roster Moves
March 22, 2012 at 12:46pm by Scott • 1 Comment »
The Bucs released Tim Crowder today because evidently you can have too many good pass rushers.
Crowder has spent the past three seasons with the Buccaneers, playing in 41 games with 13 starts during that time. This past season, he played in 10 games and recorded 14 tackles with two tackles for loss.
I liked Crowder from the beginning, but then again I spent a good amount of time comparing him to Kyle Moore who somehow got the starting job ahead of him. But Crowder had a good motor and was also very good on special teams. If they absolutely needed to lose a defensive end, Daniel Te'o-Nesheim is still collecting a check. Seems like Crowder deserved a chance to stick around.
The Bucs also released DE Nick Reed and signed T Jamon Meredith, probably as camp meat or possibly to backup Jeremy Trueblood.
Meredith enters his fifth year in the NFL, having played in 17 games and starting four during his career. He most recently spent the 2011 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he appeared in four games for the team.
Meredith has been on five teams since being drafted in the fifth round out of South Carolina in 2009. Hey, they can't all be blockbusters. No one thought much of Donald Penn when he first came to Tampa, either.

The Bachelor
Catherine Giudici Gets Her Nerd On in Los Angeles!
If there's one thing we've learned from ritualistically watching The Bachelor for hours on end, it's that Catherine Giudici considers herself a nerd (and that Sean Lowe has a fetish for maggots). This gal was adorably dorky during Sean's love journey, and her nerdom is reigning supreme now that she and Sean have gone public with their relationship.
Not only did Catherine transform and her and Sean's Twitter backgrounds into a photo of them wearing turtlenecks and thick-frame glasses, she recently underwent a nerdy makeover. Er, make that a makeunder. Check out this picture of Catherine's new look, which features geeky specks (Harry Potter would be proud) and a short, curly wig!
Um, we know she's trying to look like a dork and everything, but Catherine's kind of adorable in this pic. It's literally impossible for her not to look amazing!
What do you think of Catherine 2.0? All we know is that she just earned a spot in the nighttime fantasies of prepubescent math nerds the world over.

Once a vibrant commercial corridor known for its furniture stores, seafood market and social clubs, the district struggled to come back after Hurricane Katrina. The St. Claude Main Streets organization sought help in meeting a number of challenges.
The students explored:
· How four communities—St. Roch, Marigny, St. Claude and Bywater— can come together to envision a commercial corridor that serves the needs of all residents
· How the district can develop a strong image in the context of declining population, a preponderance of first floor vacancies, and unattractive physical environment
· If it is possible for a commercial district to balance its dual role as a state truck route and pedestrian-friendly main street
· How a plan can be implemented with the community capacity and population to bring dreams to reality

Floating shelves are great storage solutions for any space.
This easy project makes one shelf 3" long, 2-1/2" high and 10" deep.
Materials and Tools
- 1 3' x 1" x 10" select pine
- 5' of 1" x 3" select pine
- exterior wood fill (shrinks less than interior fill)
- 220 grit sandpaper
- 1 1/2" #8 screws (for a Robertson #2 head)
- 1 F bracket
- 1 mitre box
- 1 drill
- 1 Robertson #2 head screwdriver
- primer
- paint
Step 1
Get all materials from your local lumber supply store. Ask your lumber yard to cut the 1" x 10" pine to 3' to ensure a square cut.
Step 2
Mitre cut the end of the 1" x 3" select pine strip at a 45 degree angle.
Step 3
Put the two pieces of select pine together, making sure the inside mitre cut lines up with the end of the 1"x 10" x 3' board.
Step 4
Mark the 1" x 3" at the other end of your shelf board (this is where you will cut the opposite mitre at 45 degrees).
Step 5
Repeat for 3 sides of the 1" x 10" board, leaving the wall side as a straight cut. Make sure to leave an extra 1/8" longer on the sides to overlap where the wall bracket meets the back of the shelf (makes wood trim touch the wall).
Step 6
Holding the trim in place, pre-drill with a 1/8" counter sink bit beginning at one end.
Step 7
Repeat on sides.
Step 8
Apply a small bead of wood glue before screwing in the #8 1/2" screws.
Step 9
Apply exterior wood fill with a putty knife and let dry for 1 hour. Use a second coat over the screws if necessary.
Step 10
Sand all fill and wood to a smooth finish.
Step 11
Paint shelf with a primer (minimum one coat).
Step 12
Paint at least two coats of desired paint colour.
Step 13
Hold wall bracket on the wall at the desired location of the shelf.
Step 14
Mark the pre-drilled holes in the bracket on the wall.
Step 15
Pre-drill the holes making sure to use the correct size drill to match the wall anchors.
Step 16
Insert wall anchors and attach the bracket to the wall.
Step 17
Slip the shelf into the bracket and screw it into the wall.
Note: This shelf holds a maximum of 60 lb. Make sure that the shelf fits into the bracket. A 2', 3' or 4' hidden bracket can be used. Each bracket ranges from $30-$40 in price.

How Do You Define College and Career Success?
The debate rages on: How do we define and subsequently measure college and career success? Ask 10 different people and you get 10 different answers: SAT and ACT scores, high school graduation rates, postsecondary attendance rates. Postsecondary completion is one measure of student success nearly everyone can agree on. This is elusive data at best, but the College and Career Program of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana and the Community Education Coalition in Columbus, Indiana, set out in search of this information in order to better understand how to help young people be prepared for college and career success.
Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana was established in 1963. With 34 campuses statewide, it is Indiana's third largest public education system. The college is an open-access, two-year postsecondary institution offering courses, degree programs, and certification training and testing. Ivy Tech also offers customized training opportunities and continuing education in response to the specific needs of local businesses. The Community Education Coalition (CEC) is a six-county regional partnership of education, business, and community leaders, established in 1997 to bring leadership and resources together to improve the community learning system and respond to the area's workforce, employer, and economic development needs. The College and Career Program, part of the College and Career Exploration Center, exists to help learners develop informed and attainable plans for success in higher education and careers. The Exploration Center works to help bridge the secondary-postsecondary gap; provide maximum access for all, including first-generation college students and other underserved populations; and support individuals in realizing their fullest potential for success, improving the quality of their lives, and contributing to the economic viability of their families and the community.
Over time, regional partners have amassed foundational pieces that develop a local education research base used to advise the learning system. This has enabled the community to make sound decisions grounded in real-time quantitative and qualitative data reflective of the region. This minimizes the dependence on state and national data that may or may not be representative of the community. One example is the longitudinal data on graduates one year after leaving high school. Postsecondary attendance rates of these graduates are higher than is typical across Indiana or the nation. Data collected from this population regarding high-frequency majors has helped provide justification to introduce and expand degree programs at the three local higher education campuses: Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, Purdue University College of Technology at Columbus-Southeast Indiana, and Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus.
When the College and Career Program, funded by Ivy Tech Community College and CEC, was established in 2002, it became clear there was a need for additional information on graduates beyond one year following high school. From a local standpoint, there was a desire to understand more about the experiences, challenges, and successes of individuals after leaving the secondary systems. Partners believed this information was critical to facilitate smooth transitions and position young people for success in higher education and careers. The decision was made to survey 1998 graduates of the three Bartholomew County high schools, Columbus East, Columbus North, and Hauser. Six years was the time length selected because of the abundance of state and national data available six years following high school.
To maximize lessons learned from this investment, the project was designed to collect information of value for various stakeholder groups, including K-12, higher education, economic development, and current and potential grant makers. Partners were involved in constructing the survey instrument. Some strands from the local one-year follow-up studies were replicated. Components from a Pennsylvania State University customer-supplier study were used. Attention was given to assessing the brain-drain impact on the region. There was motivation to gather demographic data, but also to collect information to give insight into how we, as a learning system, might help students prepare for educational and career success. Additionally, how can we best support individuals along their educational and career pathways?
Using the last known home address and phone number, we contacted graduates by mail and telephone between November 2003 and June 2004. Parent volunteers made telephone contact. Some graduates responded to the survey through a website link developed by CEC. Several graduates of Columbus North responded to the survey at their class reunion. Of the 646 graduates, a representative sample of 294 (45.5 percent) responded to the survey.
Findings of the report indicate that 82.7 percent of the 1998 graduates responding to the survey attended a postsecondary institution. Of these, 79.4 percent completed their degree or certification program in six years or less. More than 81 percent of respondents who attended a postsecondary institution completed a baccalaureate degree. This compares with a six-year completion rate of 54.2 percent in Indiana and a 63 percent completion rate nationally. Using the Carl D. Perkins Act definition of completion (completion of an advanced training program or postsecondary education program of study), more than 73 percent of the 1998 Bartholomew County high school graduates who attended a two-year or technical school completed their program of study. This compares with 23 percent in Indiana and 34.3 percent nationally for students who receive a two-year associate degree during the same time frame. The report identifies other points of interest:
* The region was defined as Bartholomew and the four surrounding counties.
Another purpose of the study was to assess the graduates' satisfaction with their academic preparation, high school instructional practices, and support systems, and to elicit their perception about how well prepared they felt for higher education and careers. Respondents were asked to rate satisfaction using a five-point Likert scale, with five being the highest.
Respondents felt generally satisfied with their academic preparation.
Respondents were largely satisfied with teaching practices at their former high schools.
Satisfaction with school support structures had the lowest grand mean (3.62).
When asked to compare their level of preparation leaving high school with that of their peers at college or in the workplace, respondents rated their high school at 3.97. They felt positive about the school climate and had an overall sense of well-being while in their high school. Respondents indicated the most difficult transitional issues for them were adjusting to adult roles and responsibilities, the work load and expectations of higher education and careers, and time management required with more personal independence.
The primary goal for this study was to collect picturing data to establish a postsecondary completion baseline for the region. That said, one can make several inferences from the findings. In both the one-year and six-year follow-up studies of the 1998 class, postsecondary attendance rates were higher than typical. Further, one-year follow-up studies conducted over more than a decade have consistently shown high postsecondary attendance rates. This would suggest there are cultural expectations in the region that young people continue their education beyond high school.
In this study, postsecondary completion rates six years following high school were higher than typical across Indiana and the nation. Approximately 70 percent of the 1998 graduates (80 percent of the respondents) completed a rigorous high school curriculum earning a Core 40 or Academic Honors diploma. These young people completed courses above and beyond the minimum high school graduation requirements of the state of Indiana at that time. These findings are consistent with those of the American Diploma Project report, Rising to the Challenge: Are High School Graduates Prepared for College and Work? (Peter D. Hart Research Associates, Inc. for Achieve, Inc., 2005) that found students who take more rigorous courses in high school are better prepared to be successful in college-level coursework.
A secondary goal of this study was to assess academic, personal, and career readiness. One of the two school corporations (districts) involved in the study had a hunch that students needed more library research and public speaking experience. To address these perceived deficits, one high school introduced Sr. Projects during 2000-2001. The Sr. Project is a culminating project combining a persuasive research paper and a project involving a community mentorship, and ending in a presentation of the paper and project before a review board. Findings of this study support this decision for curriculum changes. The 1998 graduates indeed indicated they felt their library research and oral presentation skills were marginal. It is suggested a similar study be repeated to survey the 2001 class six years following graduation. Doing so would help to determine whether these curricular changes effectively addressed the library research and oral presentation and speech deficiencies.
The study further examined career readiness. The principle reason cited by respondents who did not complete a program of study was lack of career focus. Respondents also expressed lower satisfaction with the amount of college and career information available to them while in high school. They wished they had more human interaction to help process the college and career information they did receive. The findings collected through this research have influenced the design of the College and Career Exploration Center. The Exploration Center expects to expand outreach programming to support secondary partners in providing more information for current students and families. Additionally, onsite services will be available for all learners, including alumni, seeking tools and support in developing or revising educational and career plans.

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) September 01, 2014
Experient Health has recently begun a series that highlights children's health. Several of the topics are listed below and cover a range of matters that are important to parents for the health of their children— childhood obesity, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and vehicle precautions.
Every blog post offers general information, tips and advice for each of the topics.
Help your child support a healthy weight through the development of good habits for nutrition, physical activity and screen time.
"Studies show that one in five children are overweight or obese by their sixth birthday, and over half of obese children become overweight at or before age two," Experient Health wrote.
In order to prevent these statistics and promote early childhood health, the Let's Move! initiative suggests that children two years and under not be exposed to television, use of child care centers that have a comprehensive activity policy and equipment for children to play on, and lots of physical activity.
According to the National Safe Kids Campaign, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children 14 and under in the United States. With a myriad of car seat models, vehicles and guidelines for proper installation, many parents wonder if they have installed their child's car seat correctly.
Vehicle Precautions to Promote Children's Safety
"As safe as your vehicle may feel to you, it can be very dangerous for a child," Experient Health wrote. "It's important to familiarize yourself with possible hazards to prevent any accidents."
Vehicle accidents can be many different things, but some examples are driveway accidents, hot weather, schedule changes, and car entrapment. General tips to prevent these accidents include walking around care and looking for toys, pets or children in the vicinity before starting it, teaching children safe places to go when they see a moving vehicle, setting an alarm on your cell phone when changing daily driving routine as a reminder to drop off children, and store keys/remote devices in areas out of reach of children.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that makes it hard for children to control their behavior. It is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder in children.
"Your child's pediatrician can assess whether your child has ADHD using standard guidelines developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics," Experient Health wrote.
Symptoms can include the following:
"There is no cure for ADHD, but treatment is available," Experient Health wrote. "ADHD requires ongoing treatment and management. Most treatment plans include long-term management plan that includes behavior goals, follow-up activities and monitoring; medication; behavior therapy that ocuses on changing child's environment to help improve behavior; and education and training."
Although it's a natural substance, caffeine is classified as a drug because it stimulates the central nervous system. Parents should be aware of the harmful effects of caffeine on children and should know that caffeine is present in many foods and beverages.
"Caffeine affects children in the same way it does adults; too much causes sleeplessness, irritability, headaches, increased heart rate and difficulty concentrating," Experient Health wrote. "The reason it is more of a concern when children consume caffeine than when adults do is because it does not take a large amount to cause these side effects."

and should include voicemail and Fax numbers along with E-Mail and postal addresses where the author(s) can be reached.
Multimedia articles are welcome. Initially, only hard copy of the text (with indications of the nature and locations of video or sound included) need be submitted.
It begins with the author(s)' submission of the revised version, both in hard copy and in an ASCII or MacIntosh Microsoft Word file on a clearly labeled 3-1/2" diskette. Because the Journal is published both in hard copy and electronically, the final version of submissions must be entirely electronic. Text must be word processed, including charts, diagrams, equations, and graphs; graphics and photos also must be submitted on disk. Editing may be necessary to meet page limitations and other goals.
The goal is to publish the next volume by Fall Conference Week, 1996. Authors should be aware that the Journal is available via the World Wide Web from Cal Poly Pomona's Home Page (http://www.csupomona.edu/). Hard copy can be obtained by contacting John E. Karayan at (909) 869-2367 or email@example.com.

Spence became involved with the UVF not long after their foundation in 1966. He once said that he had guns, he was prepared to, and had already on various occasions used them against anyone who "usurped the constitution of Ulster". He was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder the following year and soon became UVF commander whilst in the Maze Prison. Spence broke from violence in 1977 and left the UVF altogether the following year, calling instead for reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
Released from prison in 1984, he soon became a leading member of the Progressive Unionist Party and a central figure in the Northern Ireland peace process. He was entrusted by the Combined Loyalist Military Command to read out their 1994 statement that announced the loyalist ceasefire. He went on to become a leading advocate of the Belfast Agreement.
On 3 May, 2007, he read out the statement by the Ulster Volunteer Force announcing it will keep its weapons and a warning that activities could "provoke another generation of loyalists toward armed resistance". He did not specify what activities or what was being resisted.
However, the arms decommissioning body has said this did not meet the requirements set out in government legislation. The Independent International Commission on Decommissioning urged the UVF to work with it to destroy its weaponry.
It said it welcomed the statement, but was "concerned by their intention to deal with their arms without the involvement of the IICD".

Gloucester vs Leicester Guinness Premiership Semi Final Highlights
Gloucester suffered a soul destroying defeat at the hands of a 78th minute Andy Goode drop-goal that saw the Leicester Tigers into the Guinness Premiership final, where they will meet old rivals London Wasps.
Champions Leicester, who were four minutes away from missing out on the playoffs before their last-gasp win over Harlequins in their final league game, triumphed 26-25 in a closely fought classic encounter at Kingsholm.
With five minutes to go the hosts worked a position for Walker to nudge them back into a two-point lead and send the Gloucester hordes at a packed Kingsholm delirious, but Leicester were not going to be denied an historic victory.
drop-goals aside, two bits of play by Pacific Islanders stood out for their sheer brilliance. First was from Fijian Akapusi Qera's brilliant part in the James Simpson-Daniel try. And the second was the sensational try by big Samoan Alesana Tuilagi who bulldozed his way through numerous defenders.
In the end, it was heartbreak for Gloucester, who had led the table almost all season but, for the third time, earned nothing for ending the regular campaign top.
Leicester vs Wasps in the final then, and if these two semis are anything to go buy, we have a classic game in prospect.

It was an amazing half - first half was crap! Murphy, Mauger, Crane, Herring and Davies were awesome for Leicester
Rawling May 19, 2008 12:33 pm
Ah, excellent - I was watching this match online but my internet dropped in the second half so I could only listen on the radio.Well done Leicester, sneaking into the final when you nearly ended up in the Challenge Cup!(Also, after attending Wasps vs Gloucester a couple of weeks ago, I'm glad someone finally shut up those Glaaaaaaaaaaawster shouts. No offence.)

I know i'll get stick for this but I really feel for Gloucester. To come first in the League and then lose in a one-off game seems a bit unfair ! And I feel for them. Great game though and Tigers were fantastic.And yes of course every team knows what they're facing in the GP but it does seem a bit cruel. Anyone agree ?
Rugby writing team May 19, 2008 3:50 pm
Perhaps not as good as the previous semi final but a thooroughly absorbing game. Murphy's break was immense.And as a Welshman all I can say is thank GOD that Tuiliagi isn't Welsh, that power is just scary.
iceman! May 19, 2008 3:53 pm
totally agree mate, but like you said the teams know the deal before the season starts. and there is an argument to say perhaps the better team is the one that can pull it out in the big games!but i do feel for gloucester, they were fantastic all season. the interesting point is though, gloucester supported the introduction of the playoffs and the only people who wanted to keep the league 'pure' were...Leicester. They were only introduced because Leicester kept running away with the league. Now how the tables have turned.Also, can anyone help me as to where I can watch these matches online?

Goode for england?Rawling'Ah, excellent - I was watching this match online but my internet dropped in the second half so I could only listen on the radio.'How did you watch it online?Brian
Anonymous May 19, 2008 5:20 pm
Yes, please!!! where can you watch this matches on line???!!
Benson May 19, 2008 5:29 pm
Sky and I THINK BBC have a live player thing. I know for Sky you have to be a customer though and only in the UK. That's pretty much the only way to watch them live online from what I understand.

G-unit May 20, 2008 12:58 am
awesome game! personally, it sucks to play in the tight games, BUT they are great to watch!!! any team can win! at least they can do drop kicks...hurricanes blues game on friday, 3 shots at drop goals...missed them all! luckily the canes still made the top 4...
Third Centre May 20, 2008 10:15 am
Yeah man you're quite right but Gloucester were the most consistent team in the GP and it seems unfair that they aren't winners because they didn't win two cup-style games. But I guess it does make things a lot more interesting !
Dave Tiger May 20, 2008 11:42 am
I do feel for Gloucester, but they knew the rules at the start. I quite like the play-off system as it keeps it exciting until the end. Maybe a separate trophy for the top-of-the-table team?
bolger May 20, 2008 12:07 pm
no wonder balshaw and vainikolo were dropped from england they were awful
hackneygriffin May 20, 2008 12:18 pm
Quick answer to all the cries of unfair on here.Leicester and Wasps would argue that an old fashioned league system punishes teams for containing a large number of internationals. And with these sides contributing so many players to England and other nations, doesn't it seem unfair that they are punished? The fact that these two teams, and Wasps in particular with their late run, have made the final can only be a good thing for the games development in England, with sides knowing that it pays to have the best side regardless of the number of internationals.Don't get me wrong though - I was cheering for Gloucester and Bath. Would have been great to see some different sides fight it out for the title, and it's hard not to sympathise with Gloucester. Dean Ryan you just keep doing what you're doing, ask Munster...good things come....

Frozen pizza
I made about 12 pizza's today and froze 7 for the winter got to
be better than store bought .
Re: Frozen pizza
I always make up the remaining bases and freeze them for quick easy meals.
he best and easiest way to thaw them is to allow them to thaw normally and heat them in a microwave BUT only on medium power. If you use the high power, the base crust will turn into shoe leather!
Re: Frozen pizza
thanks but we will use the oven were not to keen on microwave it makes bread stuff hard dries it out...
Re: Frozen pizza
I totally agree on high power, but lower the power level and judge for yourself.
I use half power with no noticeable adverse effect on the pizzas.
Re: Frozen pizza
I too have been freezing my pizzas. My wife loves how crunchy they are after reheating in the house oven. Crunchy in a great way, though! I can't decide which I like more really: The convenience of frozen with a crunch, or the fresh, hot, soft doughy pizza. Either way it's a winner.:)
Re: Frozen pizza
ya makes the bottom with a little crunch so good

The release notes for 15.10 also indicated that the future of Kubuntu is uncertain.

Heya guys!
I'm looking for a gamesave backup tool for Windows.
I know there are a bunch, like MASGAU, SaveGame Backup Manager, GameSave Manager, SaveGame Backup and probably tons more.
However, I want a tool that can handle different locations for savegames like the directory for a savegame might be a certain path on Windows 7, but completely different on Windows XP for example.
Also, I hope to find a way to backup my gamesaves, if possible all of them out of the box, but I don't believe in that ( ) so it'd be great to have a tool that is still maintained and supported by the dev(s) (preferably it should be more than one guy, but that's a side thing... For development stability's sake) - in such a way that I can submit my gamesave info and find it in the tool rather soon. (I don't want JUST the customized backup option I want to contribute - official support is better than hacking stuff together myself and dealing with possible difficulties like different paths on different platforms) and generally out-of-the-box full compatibility is king!
Thanks in advance!

Behind the Scenes
There is a vast amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to bring the initial sketch of each garment into what becomes a beautifully finished item of clothing on the shop floor. Gabby and Emma work very closely with the factories in Bali and these photographs show some of the techniques and processes involved in this development.
One particularly interesting aspect of some styles, is seeing the workers create the raw fabrics on hand looms using cotton that has been hand dyed in advance.
Some of the fabrics are hand dyed using natural plant dyes. This process starts with the actual burning of the leaves to create the colours for the dye.
There is a lot of hand embroidery and sequin detailing which take time and care. There are many skilled workers in Indonesia who make these garments for us.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Oliver Luft, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 26 August 2011 08:30AM
Citroën is set to replace hotel bookings website LateRooms.com, which sponsored the first series of the hit travelogue programme last year.
The second series will follow a similar format to the first, as it again follows Karl Pilkington as he ventures around the globe tackling tasks set for him by Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
In this series, Pilkington sets out to fulfil a list of "Things To Do Before You Die" – such as swimming with dolphins, travelling Route 66 and staying on a desert island – in an attempt to prove whether they really are "what they're cracked up to be".
Citroën's sponsorship, negotiated by OMD's sponsorship division, OMD Fuse and Sky Media, runs across TV and online.
The creative for the sponsorship has been produced by Euro RSCG London, and has been designed to introduce a brand new coupé, the Citroën DS4.
The segments will feature a family looking disdainfully at their more adventurous Citroën-owning neighbours, followed by the strapline: "'An Idiot Abroad' sponsored by the new Citroen DS4. A bit much for some".
Stephen Ladlow, sponsorship controller at BSkyB, said: "The return of 'An Idiot Abroad' follows Sky's recent commitment to invest even more in home-grown UK programming, and a hugely successful first series of the show.
"We're delighted to be able to offer sponsorship deals of this calibre to top brands like Citroën, which enable them to associate themselves with some of the best shows on television across multiple platforms."
The first series of 'An Idiot Abroad' was a surprise hit for Sky1, as it became the highest-rated show on the channel for three years.
Citroën will get logo accreditation in all promotional trailers greater than 20 seconds in length.
