Google To Continuously "Optimize" The Penguin Algorithm As It Goes
With all the craziness going on around Google's Penguin update, Springboard SEO decided to post a picture of how Webmasters and SEOs see this latest update. Yep, as a drunken penguin.
It's that wonderful time of year when blogs and social media are cluttered with predictions of what the new year will bring.
Columnist Nate Dame dives into the edge of the predict-o-sphere to uncover a hint of the big changes that just might catch everybody by surprise.
On Thanksgiving weekend, I reported a lot of buzz and chatter around a possible Thanksgiving day Penguin refresh from Google.This morning, Google has confirmed that what SEOs and webmasters noticed wa
Microsoft's Director of Search admitted this week that Bing isn't likely to put a significant dent in Google's search market

What do you think will google always be the no. 1?
What distinguishes a good search engine optimization practitioner from a not-so-good one? Columnist Neil Patel shares his thoughts.
For optimal rendering and indexing, our new guideline specifies that you should allow Googlebot access to the JavaScript, CSS, and image files that your pages use. This provides you optimal rendering and indexing for your site.
Disallowing crawling of Javascript or CSS files in your site's robots.txt directly harms how well our algorithms render and index your content and can result in suboptimal rankings.

With Panda, the devil isn't in the details, it's in the aggregate. Panda is a completely curable disease if we stop missing the forest for the trees.
Yesterday at SMX East, I reported on Search Engine Land in real-time that Google's Gary Illyes said on stage that Penguin may come next week...
What exactly is SEO? It's certainly not any "one thing," but instead a combination of many factors that lead to a successful SEO strategy.
Social has continued its growth trajectory into a key marketing channel for businesses, but what impact -- if any -- does it have on your SEO campaign?
The black hat and gray SEO communities are buzzing about Google's latest efforts to target PBNs, Private Blog Networks.Over the past couple days, Google has reportedly gone after many PBNs...
There is no doubt that online car shoppers use managed chat on auto dealership websites around the clock...
Forget trying to keep up with the thousands of algorithm changes that happen every year. Focus on what really matters and you're golden.
These sites never did "deserve" those results. They were artificially placed there because of their shady practices.
From moz
Think everyone knows as much as you do about SEO? Think again. Find out what the average client really knows and what happens when you don't make sharing your SEO knowledge a part of your standard business practice.
From inside the echo chamber, it's easy to forget just how well the fundamentals of SEO still really work...
"2.5 weeks ago, Google pushed out the Penguin 3.0 update after waiting over a year to update Penguin 2.1.That update later was confirmed and told it would roll out worldwide over the next few weeks."
Google announced a new feature available in Google Webmaster Tools this morning for tracking your mobile usability issues. The new report is named the Mobi
Well, it is finally here. If you have a website that was hit by Google's Penguin algorithm update, did the latest version bring the relief you hoped for, or did the algorithm find new reasons to keep your site from ranking well in the search results?
Just a heads up that the NPR show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me will be here in Pittsburgh on Thursday, October 16, 2014. There are some tickets still available – it looks like the $29 tickets have sold out but there are some $49 tickets in the first and second tier still available.
Google's Gary Illyes, Webmaster Trends Analyst and Search Quality Engineer, said at Search Marketing Expo East that Google may be launching a Penguin algorithm update next week...
Adlava's curator insight, October 3, 2014 1:12 PM
Is a Penguin refresh following on the heels of the recent Panda update?
SEO is a mystery to many people - mostly because of misinformation and old concepts that may have worked but don't do anything but harm a site's rankings.
Google has announced that the latest version of its Panda Update -- a filter designed to penalize "thin" or poor content from ranking well -- has been released....
Imran Kadri's curator insight, September 26, 2014 10:03 AM
A look into the upcoming Panda Update, including how you can save your company website from getting penalised in the future. The pick of the articles on the internet on this topic at present.

Bread, yes, the Staff of Life, Manna from Heaven, yet bread is just flour, yeast and water really, maybe a tad of salt and sugar tossed in. You cannot get more basic than that. Some may call bread bland, some may call it insipid, yet as simple and pure as it is bread is truly a basic necessity, a staple of our diet whatever our culture, whole and complete, rip off a chunk and stuff it in your mouth, earthy and good, yet the perfect blank slate for all the rest that we eat: bread for sandwiches, bread to sop up gravy and sauce, bread for dunking in hot cocoa, bread turned into croutons floating in soup, bread sweetened for puddings or tossed into salads. I am always amazed at how something so plain and simple can be turned into something so succulent, so exotic. Yet bread still remains the best in its plainest, simplest, barest most natural of form. Just bread.
And our need for and love of bread has inspired us to transform the simple daily loaf into an extravaganza of breads, both yeast and quick, both savory and sweet, dark and light, in all manner of shapes and sizes, muffins, scones, biscuits, loaves round, square and braided. Just imagine!
And chocolate. Do I really need to vaunt the pleasures of chocolate? Bold and bitter or smooth and sweet, crunchy, crispy, light or dark, rich and luxurious, chocolate has the power to seduce, to inspire, to pull us into a dark, almost spiritual realm. Chocolate, that most mysterious of foods, both soothing and exciting, sinful, comforting and decadent. Chocolate, an object worshipped by many, chocolate in a hundred dazzling ways, able to bring the strongest to their knees, seduce a lover, a source of intense craving that no substitute can appease. Chocolate, food of the gods or food of the devil?
Yet bring the two together, rip open a loaf and fill it with chocolate, creamy smooth and sweet or dark, tangy, as bitter as you like, and you have memories of childhood, your hair fluttering in the warm breeze, bare feet on the steamy sidewalk, innocent, whispered gossip between girlfriends, pure pleasure. Or standing in the Home Ec room watching your 8th-grade French teacher roll up chunks of deep, dark chocolate in pale, moist, out-of-the-can biscuit dough, pushing yourself up on tippy toes trying to capture each and every movement of her hands as she creates this special treat for a roomful of impatient students anxious to savor their very first taste of France. Or the memories of that flaky, crisp pain au chocolat on our first trip to Paris, standing on a street corner, rather stunned that we are finally there; stumble into the nearest corner boulangerie and point, grinning, at the plump, golden pastry, just a teasing hint of the chocolate peeping out between the folds.
Bread & Chocolate stirs up visions of tow-headed children on Parisian streets, elegant little children in shiny Mary Janes or black brogues dressed in pleated navy skirts and loden coats, their excited after-school chatter filling the void between honking cars and city sounds, each enfant clutching a hunk of baguette, dense, warm from the boulangerie, a long, narrow bar of chocolate sticking out for all the world to see. Watch them as they bite into the crispy crust, crumbs hurriedly brushed away, joyously ripping into the tender center, * crack * into the slender bar of chocolate Maman or nourrice has so lovingly tucked inside and all thoughts of sharing a crêpe and a glass of wine with a chic young parisien fall aside: this is picture-perfect French romance itself.
Bread & Chocolate, that delectable, irresistible blend of heaven and earth, the voluptuous sweetness, the sumptuousness of chocolate adding elegance to the simplicity of the bread, the wheaty, uncomplicated flatness of the bread taming the sensuous delight of the chocolate. Enjoy the thrill, the soothing, dreamy satisfaction, bite into something close to bliss, Bread & Chocolate.
I am hosting Monthly Mingle this month, an honor bestowed upon me by my very good friend Meeta of the stunning, luscious blog What's For Lunch Honey? and, after a thoughtful back and forth with her, I have chosen the theme
for my Monthly Mingle. So join us, won't you, and bring along something from your kitchen, create something homey, something elegant or something exotic but do make sure that you follow the theme. Here's how it works:
1. Create a dish that fits the theme Bread & Chocolate. It can be yeast or quick, in any shape form or size as long as it is bread. Or make your dish using bread and chocolate. As you like.
2. Post about it on your blog between now and Thursday February 18th (entries must be in English, please).
3. Your creation should be prepared for the current Monthly Mingle theme and shared with a maximum of 2 other blog events. Let's try and keep the creations as fresh as the ingredients you use.
4. You must provide a link to this post and/or the official Monthly Mingle page.
5. Please feel free to post - and proudly display - the Monthly Mingle Bread & Chocolate badge within your Monthly Mingle post.
6. Once you've posted your entry, please notify me by e-mail at jamieannschler (at) gmail (dot) com and include:
Your blog's name and URL
The name of your dish/food/entry and the URL/link to your Monthly Mingle Post
A 350-pixel-wide photo
And please write Monthly Mingle in the subject of your e-mail!!!
I will post the round up on Monday February 22st.
As my decision to host Monthly Mingle was rather last minute/spur of the moment I didn't have time to cook or bake for it – well, the first half of my project is done – so here are some appropriate recipes that I have baked in the past to help you along, get your mouth watering and get the old brain cells working. Have fun!

The greater Aurora area can make use of our different types of storage climates to keep belongings in proper condition, plus some facilities even offer drive up storage for extra convenience.

If you're storing paper, wood, furniture, or metals that are sensitive to humidity, Uncle Bob's also offers humidity controlled spaces.
Most Uncle Bob's storage facilities have perimeter fencing and surveillance monitoring. You and the individuals you authorize will get a personalized access code for the keypads that open our gates and interior buildings.

The rental is based on availability and must be used within 14 days of renting your space. Plus, you get 25 miles free! Upon rental, call us or ask your local Uncle Bob's to check availability and get moving right away!

Chandelier - Chinese Bedroom, Dolls' House, 'Pendle Hall', 1940s Reg. No: HT 27035
- Summary:
- Chandelier from Room 21 - Chinese Bedroom, Main Building Section, Pendle Hall.
It was created by Felicity Clemons as part of a 40 project to create a grand fully-furnished Georgian style country dolls' house. The project began in the 1940's when Felicity's daughter, Antonia, was given a three-room dolls' house by her grandmother. Mrs Clemons was not happy with its scale or authenticity and so began a rebuilding project which resulted in a four storey grand house, now known as Pendle Hall. Although some items were purchased during shopping trips to Melbourne, the majority of furnishings were constructed by Felicity's own hands, using numerous reference books and magazines.

S.C. Schools get chance to buy law school
CHARLESTON (AP) — A company that runs for-profit law schools said it will give other schools in South Carolina a final chance to buy the Charleston School of Law before going forward with its plans to purchase the school.
The InfiLaw System said in a statement on Monday that it will give the College of Charleston or the University of South Carolina an opportunity to make an offer for the private law school.
InfiLaw said it will continue its effort to be licensed to run the Charleston school while any talks continue. InfiLaw operates the Charlotte School of Law, the Florida Coastal School of Law and the Phoenix School of Law
The only other law school in the state is the University of South Carolina School of Law in Columbia.

Welcome to the Library Routes Project!
The idea is to document either or both of your library roots - how you got into the profession in the first place, and what made you decide to do so - and your library routes - the career path which has taken you to wherever you are today. As well as being interesting of itself, it will also provide much needed information and context for those just entering the profession or wishing to do so.
My path of becoming a librarian was definitely brewing in the background over a few years before I realized it. I wish it had hit me sooner, but I think a series of events led me to this career:
- 2002-Read Punk Planet article (article not available online, unfortunately, but I have the paper copy saved in my files) about radical librarians and how social change and activism are possible within librarianship
- 2004-Saw friends working at libraries during undergrad and kept hearing positive things
- 2005-Started to really enjoy research and finding information for courses in my major and in general on the internet
- 2007-Began working at a health food/supplements store and excelled at providing reference services for people having questions about health conditions and remedies
After graduating with a B.A. in Communication Arts, I started looking for marketing/outreach positions, mostly with non-profits. There was a lot of competition, and since I didn't have a degree specific to marketing or advertising, it was even tougher. I applied to a couple corporations for somewhat similar or management positions, but found I didn't have enough interest in any of those jobs to make myself go to the next round of interviews because it just didn't feel right. I then saw a notice that the natural health food store near my apartment was hiring, and I wound up there; I figured in the meantime at least I'd be helping people and I would get to learn a lot about Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). I started to think about going back to school since I felt my degree was too generalized to find a more specific career, and everything libraries just started sticking out for me, including noticing how much I liked helping customers find information. Luckily, I had just moved to a city with a library school at a major university, so I applied and now here I am. I obtained a position in my program's department first, and then a graduate assistantship at the library, so I left the store and immersed myself in LIS.
As far as my route to my current position (Part-time Outreach Information Specialist at the Community Outreach & Education Core at the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center at the University of Arizona) -- which entails outreach, web design, and reference -- started off as an internship during my last semester of school, and turned into a part-time/temp position until I find permanent employment. It's a great fit for me since I have a background in outreach and an interest in design and technology -- not to mention the experience in reference for health resources from the health food store. Most of my tasks involve web design, for making the sites look nicer, for organizing the information and resources better, and to design and organize in a way that would obtain the interest of the community and researchers (outreach).
When I first started library school, I was more focused on trying to figure out what kind of library I wanted to work in, rather than what kind of position I would want; I think the latter is more useful unless one really wants to specialize in a certain type of librarianship.
For new or potential students, I'd really recommend first figuring out what you'd like as far as positions or even just position duties, and then look at related job advertisements, which can tell you where to fill in the gaps for what classes to take or maybe where to do an internship. It's also great to have an internship that is flexible where you can get nearly any kind of experience you want, as mine had been. I was able to suggest to my supervisor that I create a tutorial for students in Keep Engaging Youth in Science summer internships, as well as present instructional sessions about how the designated librarians for their course (myself and a SIRLS student) could assist them in research. I've also been able to be very creative with web design and making the sites more interactive and up-to-date. Although I'm not fully settled yet in a permanent position, I love what I'm doing now and am gaining valuable experience as well as tangible work samples to add to my portfolio.
That about sums up how I became interested in librarianship and wound up at my current position; not the most romantic story, but I suppose it was a logical journey!

While I agree that Apple needs to keep making corrections.... but,
Never trust a GPS mapping system until you FIRST verify the destination and route (I've seen plenty of people get lost using Garmin or other systems too... you have to make sure it has indicated valid locations and doesn't route you in some odd manner... for example, a closed road in mountain terrain).
This is also true of the previous Google maps.
In other words... if you turn off your brain, you might get in trouble.
Mildura Police warn drivers against relying on Apple iOS 6 maps
Police in Mildura, Victoria, Australia, have issued a warning to motorists, cautioning them against relying on Apple's new iOS 6 Maps. This comes after receiving distress calls from motorists who had become stranded in a national park after following iOS 6 maps directions. The Victoria Police News reports:
Tests on the mapping system by police confirm the mapping systems lists Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, approximately 70km away from the actual location of Mildura. [...] Some of the motorists located by police have been stranded for up to 24 hours without food or water and have walked long distances through dangerous terrain to get phone reception.
Apple replaced the previous, Google-fed iOS Maps app with in iOS 6 with a new, better looking, worse working app. Apple CEO Tim Cook has apologized for the situation with iOS 6 maps, and promised Apple is working on making it better. Both the head of iOS and iOS 6 Maps have since existed the company.
Apple has also posted a list of alternative maps apps on the App Store for those experiencing problems with iOS 6 Maps.
Yet none of that matters when people are getting stuck in the middle of nowhere, because that's where Apple Maps put them. Apple needs to get ahead of this as fast as possible.

Mildura Police warn drivers against relying on Apple iOS 6 maps
While I agree that Apple needs to keep making corrections.... but,
Stop making excuses for Apple, the fruit has rottened. Are there reports of this significant of an issue before Apple maps?
Search for Mildura Australia and apple maps gets it right. Search for Mildura Victoria Australia and it gets it wrong. Search functionality making a decision on what you search for. Those people that are getting lost, should they not be searching for a well known spot in the city instead of city itself if they have never been there? Computer is as smart as the user.
We have entered the realm of sensationalism with Apple Maps. I can google about 50 links of GPS snafus. Just little more homework to even out the story would've helped. Lets bring the negatively down a notch, especially Apple Maps. If it were easy we would've had Google Maps by now for iOS. Nothing personal Rene, love your work.
"If it were easy we would've had Google Maps by now for iOS." What?
Meaning Google would've had their maps apps on the ready when iOS 6 launched. Example, YouTube was horrendously designed and limited AirPlay functionality and took several months to be iPhone 5 and iPad ready. It is not easy to make a mapping solution, sure their backend might be good but the actual app is nowhere near where it should be, ergo why there's no Google maps in the store.
I'm not making excuses for Apple but this is common place with aGPS maps and the mobile development of them. Google it.
I thought Google was getting ready to turn in to Apple and some of their workers were saying that they were afraid that it would be rejected or delayed in approval. Also the reason Google doesn't have their app ready is because Apple took out the previous default app before the contract was up and Google didn't expect them to terminate it earlier than the contract. Google was already working on making a map app for Apple but they thought they had more time which is why it isn't here yet. I do agree with you that it's not easy to make these kind of apps especially on the first try but Apple could have waited a bit longer until it was more polished and accurate since they could still use Google data until the contract ended. Also for the in house Google apps that were in place before the current iOS, weren't they designed by Apple and simply used Google's data and services to provide the information? I could be wrong on that but I don't feel I am.
IMO that is a smoke screen to give them more time to actually do a maps app. Denying or delaying would cause more PR damage for Apple and put regulatory bodies in motion. Apple gave Google the heads up when they removed the stock YouTube and Maps app in June (6 months ago) during the betas of iOS 6. Consequently, Google proceeded to release the YouTube app on 8/12/12, keeping track of dates that's more than a month before iOS 6 went public and of course the launch of the iPhone. It's now December and now Google has made their YouTube to support iPhone 5 and the iPad. I wouldn't be surprised with this potential fallout Google in hindsight will decides to sit on maps for bit longer for stories like this to cause more irreparable damage. Apple took the gamble and they are paying for it, but I think the short term lost will be their long term gain.
Yes, Apple to my knowledge designed the original maps app with using Google's backend maps data. There are reports that Google maps was a last minute inclusion to the original iPhone and gave Google less than weeks to set the backend portion of it without even seeing the app. Google maps has had years of benefit of crowd sourcing data from iOS users. It's unfair for us to go over kill on this.
I suppose they could have just left the Google version on there as well, if they knew their version had so many issues.
My guess is that they maybe didn't realize it. If you keep these products under wraps of secrecy, they don't get a lot of genuine testing. The people who are testing are probably in S.F. area, maybe traveling around to some major cities mostly. The data probably isn't all that bad in these places, so with limited testing, things probably seemed OK (or, at least way better than the reality).
I actually think a lot of Apple's initial releases suffer from this. They usually work fairly well, but are missing basic features or have technical issues that seem to indicate lack of testing. It's the tradeoff for such high secrecy.
Maps is crowd sourced dependent. meaning it needs user participation. Apple had to make the tough decision, having Google maps included could have hindered the important data needed to make the Apple maps app better, users would just opt for what they are familiar with. I don't know how much employees Apple has but perhaps not enough to make this the best it could be when tested. In a way, Apple got bit with the secrecy of the app, what were the advantages of keeping it secret? Maybe they knew it would take time for Google to build their maps app to give time to get some maps data going Apple's way. If not, again Apple maps would suffer a worst outcome like users abandoning the app completely because the alternative is there. It's a catch 22. Apple is looking at the long game.
Updated: This is like chess, anticipating moves from your opponent, it's high risk for both sides. Now unfortunately, some pieces must be sacrificed for the greater goal. Some people like seeing this unfold, sadly sometimes we play the role of the pawns. Still using iOS has the benefit of having both alternatives of apps and services from Apple and Google, Android can't say that and Apple wouldn't have it any other way.
"Apple had to make the tough decision, having Google maps included could have hindered the important data needed to make the Apple maps app better, users would just opt for what they are familiar with."
Except shortly after the mess started, Apple posted a list of alternatives. If not having alternatives present was the plan, I doubt this list would have been posted. It's simple. Apple thought their Maps app was ready. It wasn't.
I'm sure no one is making arguments against that Apple thought it was ready. Besides the list was after that fact of the media blowout. Plus that list is not Google maps, which is the point. They'd have no problem advertising third party map apps in their App store not being Google Maps.
Now, user crowd sourcing is being done since iOS 6 was released, it will take time but it should get better. Apple is not going back on relying on Google maps, it's simple as that.
So the problem is with the third party now, not with Apple? Is it not iOS Maps? Nuffield said.
The problem is not necessarily that Apple Maps is unreliable, but the fact that it replaced Google Maps, which was very reliable. I knew I could trust Google Maps to reliably get me to my destination, and regardless of how intelligent people here may be, not everyone understands the change in mapping data, or that the new service has been reported as unreliable, and that they need to check that data is accurate.
We know that Apple had (at least) another year to run on their maps contract with Google, and they should have used that extra year to have built their replacement to a more reliable level, such that people could trust it out of the box. Because, like it or not, people will trust it.
This is true. However, the trend seems to be the case that Apple's replacement is worse in most cases.
It is also worth acknowledging that Google Maps started out very poor, and had significant refinement before iOS existed. Essentially, this is the basis of the problems I mentioned above - the lack of time Apple used to develop compared to Google.
So at the start of google maps I guess everything was perfect. Google maps every now and then screws up the information it provides. Every GPS systems have these issues. Apple did what it had to do. Google didn't want to provide turn by turn which they felt should only be on their phones exclusively. Is Maps perfect no but was google maps perfect no.
Why do people do this? I would not buy a brand new car, for example, that was very unreliable and be satisfied knowing that when cars first came out, they were unreliable as well. While I have no problems with Apple bringing out their own version of maps, the following is aways true:
When a product comes out, it must compete with the *current* products on the market, not with some prior version that customers probably don't remember, nor with some future potential version that customers don't care about.
I've used Garmin, Telenav, Navteq. Worst case scenario with these, I would input a location and I'd get there and the place would be closed down. This just means the maps weren't updated. In the systems I used the maps only updated once a year. The system still did it's job and directed me to the location. I've never input an address and it takes me "70Km" from where i'm supposed to go.
Apple Maps is good and bad. In some cases it is better and more accurate than Google Maps, and it others, it's worse. Last week Google Maps didn't have the correct location for a restaurant I was trying to find while Apple maps found it without a problem, and it's way out in the middle of nowhere in the country. Though Apple Maps lists my home address about 3 miles away from where it actually is. :(
I'm not shocked it couldn't find a no name restaurant in the middle of nowhere, but it can't find your house? It can't find a city that has been established for hundreds of years? Let's learn to crawl before we start running, and never say iOS maps is accurate if it can't even get the little things correct... People are people, they trust in technology because very intelligent people are suppose to have solved these issues and made their lives easier. They should be able to trust their GPS, and not have it lead them into the middle of a desert. Apple should shut their maps app down for the time being, if its THAT bad its putting peoples life at risk, that would be the responsible course of action.
I really don't think a few deaths are as important as sticking it to Google.
LMAO. So bad. ;)
apple didn't have 1 year left on the contract. apple decided a year ago, that they would change the maps so only were working fulltime on it for 1 year.

Bikers prep for July 12 Keith Dressel Memorial RideWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Michelle Li, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
The sound of 200 motorcycles carries like thunder over the flat fields at Oscar Bunch UAW/GM Powertrain Park. Some of the riders carry passengers. Some wear police uniforms; others wear matching black T-shirts.
Organizers say this is the scene that greets attendees at the Keith Dressel Memorial Ride. The eighth annual ride, and fourth at Oscar Bunch Powertrain Park, is scheduled for July 12.
Toledo Police Detective Keith Dressel was fatally shot in the line of duty in February 2007.
All proceeds from the ride go to the Officer William Miscannon Scholarship Fund at Owens Community College, in memory Dressel.
Miscannon was shot in the line of duty in September 1970.
The memorial ride was established through the efforts of Keith's family, Oregon police officer Sara Shaw and Toledo Detective Bonnie Weis.
"Bonnie and Sara deserve the credit for the ride," said Mike Dressel, Keith's father. "They were there from day one."
This year's route for the memorial ride, beginning and ending in the park, is approximately a 35-mile round trip. Led by a police escort, the riders will uphold the tradition of passing by the site where Keith was shot.
Participating riders pay a registration fee of $25 for singles and $35 if riding with a passenger. The fee includes a raffle ticket, T-shirt and lunch.
Larraine Dressel, Keith's mother, said the ride brought their families closer together and sparked a tight bond with Miscannon's daughter, Diane.
Why a memorial ride?
"Bikers have the biggest hearts," Miscannon said.
Larraine said she believes bikers have much in common with her son Keith.
"A lot of biker groups are police-oriented," she said.
Neil Dressel, Keith's brother, said this explains much of the bikers' willingness to support the police through a ride — regardless of the weather.
"I remember a couple years ago, it rained so hard in the morning, but you'd be amazed how many bikes still came out," he said.
Diane said despite the somber origins of the event, attendees have a good time.
"Yes, we have the passing of two officers," Diane acknowledged. "But it's a fun atmosphere."
Larraine said she hopes the memorial ride continues to embrace a lively atmosphere.
"It's a celebration of their lives," she said. "Not their deaths — their lives."
Mike said everyone is welcome to attend the send-off.
"You don't have to ride a bike to come. You can buy shirts, have lunch," he said
Diane said the diverse turnout always thrills her.
"You've got parents that'll bring their little kids, you've got the older people, you've got people that don't have bikes who come out just to take part in the camaraderie," she said. "And they know how much we appreciate them coming out. It's a big deal."
Larraine said she believes the best part of the event is that it benefits the scholarship fund.
"Doing the scholarship, it continues doing work like they did," she said. "Good work to protect and serve."

Rule-makers in Okaloosa and Walton counties have been busy. They've drawn up all sorts of new regulations to try to control what people do at the beach. As with most things local government does, their proposals are a mix of bad ideas, so-so ideas, and good ideas that probably can't be enforced.
In Okaloosa, beach safety officials want the law governing county parks to be changed:
- To prohibit beachgoers from swimming more than 300 feet from shore.
- To prohibit swimming, diving, surfing and using watercraft within 150 feet of the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier.
- To prohibit leaving tents, chairs and other personal items on the beach between midnight and 8 a.m.
- To prohibit the use of rafts, boogie boards and other flotation devices more than 300 feet from shore.
- To make it illegal to ignore the instructions of lifeguards and law enforcement officers.
In Walton, proposed revisions to a beach activities ordinance would require beachgoers with dogs to buy 30-day passes; prohibit beach vendors from using electricity in their huts; adjust some fees for beach driving permits; require that personal items be removed from the beach by sunset; and put strict limits on beach bonfires.
The worst of these ideas is Okaloosa and Walton counties' sudden enthusiasm for banning chairs, umbrellas, toys and such from the beach during certain hours — with the usual threat that these items will be confiscated.
Government may occasionally have good reason to seize and destroy someone's private property, but taking a child's beach ball because it was left on the sand overnight? That's just mean.
As for banning people from swimming more than 300 feet from shore, good luck with that. Beachgoers routinely ignore double red flags — the sternest warning — and plunge into the surf anyway. The 300-foot rule may be a nifty idea but it's not likely to be enforced.
Walton County commissioners will weigh final approval of their new beach rules Jan. 8. Okaloosa County commissioners will discuss their county's new rules at a public hearing Jan. 22. If you don't like the changes, now's the time to say so.

To "Project Prosper" – Aiken County Council is working to attract an unnamed manufacturing company whose $14 million investment could mean 38 new, full-time jobs in Aiken County.
To more local control over elections – Local state House members have introduced legislation to put the Election Office under the supervision of Aiken County Administrator and County Council members instead of the delegation.
To citizens taking action – Dozens of Wagener residents concerned about a string of burglaries in their community turned out for last week for a meeting to discuss the problems. It's good to see so many people working for the betterment of the community.
To the new spelling champ – Michael Havasy, a sixth-grader at North Augusta Middle School, won the annual Aiken County School District's Spelling Bee on Monday. Michael edged out runner-up Kaylee Westbrook, a fifth-grader from East Aiken School of the Arts. He moves on to the regional Spelling Bee in Augusta.
To Jim and Carolyn Baggott – The North Augusta couple was honored as the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce Citizens of the Year last week.
To our Southern-fried foods – We've heard it before, but yet another study is pointing to deep-fried foods and sugary drinks as part of the reason the Southeast has been dubbed the nation's "stroke belt." It's time to swap out that hamburger and fries for some whole grains, fruits and vegetables. A little more exercise wouldn't hurt most of us.
To an asteroid buzzing close to earth – This could be a thumbs up because it is fascinating that a 150-foot asteroid will zip past Earth this week – just 17,000 miles from the surface and the closest known approach ever for an object of this size. While NASA scientist say there's no reason to worry, it is a little disconcerting that it's coming so close.

An event to raise awareness for the 2013 Relay for Life called "Paint the Town Purple" will line the streets of West Jefferson from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on June 21 at Mount Jefferson Presbyterian Church.
"The main purpose of the event is it's an awareness event for the Relay in July," said Melissa Hiatt, a community organizer for the American Cancer Society.
"I'm really excited. This is the first time we've done it in Ashe County," said Hiatt about Paint the Town Purple.
Along with raising awareness for the relay, Paint the Town Purple will also inform the community about what the American Cancer Society does to help communities, and is an additional fundraising opportunity.
Winners will be announced for best store front (business), spirit of relay (municipal), cup cake contest (community) and art contest (youth and adult).
Final decisions for Paint the Town Purple were announced earlier this month at an American Cancer Society meeting held in West Jefferson.
During the meeting, Allison Reeves, a community manager for the American Cancer Society from Yadkin County, spoke with local community organizers about using social media.
"She was teaching them to use social media as a way to fundraise and find new team members," said Hiatt. "I can already see an increase in them (community organizers) using online tools for fundraising."
Relay For Life is a unique fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. The relay celebrates cancer survivors while also raising cancer awareness and raising funding for important research.
Relay For Life involves participants from Ashe County businesses, families, churches, schools and civic groups in teams of 10-15 people walking around the Ashe County High School's track from 6 p.m. until midnight. The Relay For Life will take place on July 19.
Each team member is asked to raise a minimum of $100 in donations to support the American Cancer Society. In addition, the success of Relay depends on financial support from corporate sponsors.
"One of the great things about Relay is almost all of the volunteers, whether or not their lives have been touched by cancer, come for the same reason: that is to raise money to find a cure, or help cancer awareness," said Hiatt.
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.

Midwest Living Review
The National Museum of the United States Air Force can feel like a window into a secret world, especially for civilians. Three cavernous airplane hangars sprawl across 17 acres and showcase everything from World War I-Era surveying blimps to top-secret military drones. Touring a few football fields worth of airplanes may not be on everyone's top 10 list, but even aviation amateurs should be able to find something to love.
One hallway houses a glass case full of mannequins sporting original bomber jackets with hand-painted drawings of sultry women and goofy nicknames. An exhibit in the Cold War Gallery offers visitors the chance to take a simulated ride on an aircraft; near the Southeast Asia War Gallery is a display of more than 500 meticulously crafted miniature airplane models on loan from the museum's first chairman, Eugene Kettering. There's also a small area devoted to the National Aviation Hall of Fame, where five new inductees are added each year. The scope of the museum is breathtaking—planes fill every corner and dangle overhead at every turn. Floodlights focused on the planes leave much of the museum's upper reaches shrouded in shadows, lending a solemn air to the historic sights. A visit to the museum, the largest and oldest of its kind in the nation, could take all day. The on-site Valkyrie Cafe offers sandwiches and pizza, but many families congregate outside in the extensive memorial park to eat a picnic lunch. For true flight fanatics, call ahead if you want to try to nab a spot in one of the Behind the Scenes tours offered on Fridays.

Oracle Customer: Arabian Beverage Company
Location: Safat, Kuwait
Industry: Consumer Goods
Employees: 800
Annual Revenue: Under $100 Million
Oracle Customer: Arabian Beverage Company
Location: Safat, Kuwait
Industry: Consumer Goods
Employees: 800
Annual Revenue: Under $100 Million
Headquartered in Safat, Kuwait, Arabian Beverage Company (ABC) is one of the country's leading juice companies. For 50 years, the company has produced healthy, high-quality beverages for global consumers. Its product line includes high-quality juice, mineral water, and dairy drinks. All product ingredients uphold the regional customs of halal, while meeting all European food and beverage regulations. ABC constantly looks to improve the machinery and technology used in production processes to deliver optimal performance and high safety levels for operators, while minimizing waste and overhead.
"Oracle is in the unique position of offering two extremely powerful enterprise resource planning suites. However, it was the manufacturing industry specialization and our own specific inventory requirements that made JD Edwards EnterpriseOne such an attractive solution to manage our production costs, down to the details, and to build our business efficiencies from a position of strength."– George Bassily, ERP Manager, Arabian Beverage Company
Arabian Beverage Company evaluated a number of ERP solutions from well-known providers, including SAP, before deciding Oracle was the best choice due to its blend of technology, industry experience, and support services. It then reviewed Oracle E-Business Suite as a further option before deciding that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne delivered all the inventory, procurement, and sales order controls it required, while also offering a level of manufacturing costing specialization that perfectly matched ABC's needs.
"My own professional background is in ERP consultancy, so I knew that what was really important was to implement the most user-friendly technology with the best features for the business and the strongest ongoing support. JD Edwards is the most powerful and intuitive ERP solution for a manufacturer of our scale, and Oracle's in-person and online support is second to none in terms of speed and quality," said George Bassily, ERP manager, Arabian Beverage Company.
The implementation at ABC's headquarters and two warehouses in Safat took six months to complete, going live, on time and on budget, on January 1, 2013. Previously, ABC had used JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12, which was deployed in 2008. In 2013, ABC worked with an in-house consultant and consulting partner Cyret Technologies to implement the latest JD Edwards EnterpriseOne version, rather than simply upgrading old systems. For this reason, deployments of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement and Subcontract Management, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing Management were entirely new to the business. Cyret also provided postimplementation user training and on-going support.

FRANKFORT — A bill filed in the Kentucky Senate last week will position the state to take the lead in legal hemp production, the bill's sponsor said on Friday.
Sen. Paul Hornback, R-Shelbyville, filed Senate Bill 50 Friday morning, which would put into place regulations on the growth and production of industrial hemp in Kentucky if the federal government moves ahead with legalizing the plant. Hornback's bill would include criminal background checks and establishing licensing procedures for hemp growers, among other things.
A similar bill had already been filed in the state House by Rep. Terry Mills, a Democrat from Lebanon.
Support for the legalization of hemp has grown in past months, as both Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul appeared last year at a joint press conference to discuss its legalization. Comer later revived the long dormant hemp commission.
The growth of hemp in the United States is currently illegal, but proponents say its legal production represents an economic boon. Sen. Hornback said last week that economics was the main driver behind his filing of Senate Bill 50.
"The big thing is that it's one of the only bills [filed this year] that has the potential in the future to actually create new jobs and new markets here in the state of Kentucky," Hornback said. "We're always looking for things like that. That's what we push for, and that's what drives the economy, and I think it will help people throughout the state."
Despite the growing support for industrial hemp, which is used in a number of products from shampoo to automobile parts, there remains some opposition to its decriminalization. Some law enforcement groups have opposed any measure to legalize hemp, including the Kentucky State Police.
KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer said in December that while he sees the benefits for agriculture, hemp's close resemblance to marijuana makes the two plants nearly indistinguishable to the casual observer, and could cause issues with law enforcement.
Hemp and marijuana are closely related plants, but as Sen. Hornback noted, hemp contains only a negligible amount of THC, the chemical in marijuana that produces a high when smoked or ingested. Hornback's bill does not allow for the legalization of marijuana.
Hornback said ultimately he thinks that the market for hemp in Kentucky could add to the state's manufacturing base, and he hopes that industrial hemp could fill the gaps for small farmers whose land used to support tobacco crops.
"Of course, I've been a tobacco grower all my life, and I know how devastating it was to the economy of Kentucky with the downturn in tobacco production," Hornback said. "My opinion in what I think will happen is it will be an alternative to those people that have grown tobacco and have those farms that are suitable more on smaller acres to grow tobacco. I think it will be a high value crop per acre, because of the products and what they're selling for right now."
Agriculture Commissioner James Comer's office released a statement last week, just a few hours after Hornback's filing and an endorsement from the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce on the legalization of industrial hemp in Kentucky.
"With the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Board's unanimous endorsement of the industrial hemp bill, I'm convinced that our coalition to get government out of the way and create jobs for Kentucky is going to be successful," Comer said. "Sen. Paul Hornback's bill, which has bi-partisan support in the General Assembly, is incredibly important to rural economic development. Kentucky deserves to be first in line for these jobs."

Bringing up race isn't racistApril 21,2014Bringing up
race isnt racist
A high school teacher of mine had a motto: Facts, not fluff. I would like politicians in this country to adopt a similar motto: Facts, not vilification, obfuscation, or bald-faced lies.
A Newport city representative, Duncan Kilmartin, was recently accused of being racist when he cited statistics comparing student achievement in Vermont and Texas. He said that when controlled for race, the scores for Texas were better. I am heartily annoyed that another representative (Jean OSullivan) used this as an opportunity for name-calling instead of engaging in a discussion of the facts. Hey, people: It is not racist to mention race.
Was Kilmartin trying to promote the bogus old narrative of school failure, or was he simply trying to caution us not to rest on apples-to-oranges laurels? Either way, it was wrong for OSullivan to vilify him.
The fact is, Kilmartin was right. White students in Texas do slightly outperform Vermont students on the NAEP test and high school graduation rates. On the other hand, Vermont does a better job educating poor students than Texas does; we are near the top of the nation in our ability to teach children of poverty. So whos the winner here? Do we even need one? More important than either of these facts is that both Texas and Vermont are improving. Educators spend their time trying to learn from each other, not compete with each other, and the result is better outcomes for all.
Id like to see a worldwide democracy test. In addition to measuring voter participation, each nations politicians would be judged based on measurable outcomes such as the economic, physical and mental health of its citizens. Pay for politicians would be adjusted based upon these outcomes, as well as on such observable qualities as ability to listen to and understand opponents, number of lies told, number of lies believed, etc. Talk about failure something tells me the U.S. would be on the bottom of the heap.

The Interim Salt Waste Disposition Process at the Savannah River Site surpassed the 1-million gallon per year mark in salt waste processing for a second time in its five-year history.
The record processing mark, met recently, sets the stage for the Interim Salt Waste Disposition Process to continue to support salt processing program objectives beyond its first five years of operations, which began in April 2008.
Terrel Spears, assistant manager for the Waste Disposition Project, U.S. Department of Energy-Savannah River Operations Office, called the achievement further evidence that salt disposition processes operated by Savannah River Remediation, SRS's liquid waste contractor, are working.
"Processing salt waste is essential for us and our mission to operationally close waste tanks and reduce risk," Spears said. "Salt processing technologies being utilized by SRR have proven very effective in removing the radioactive constituents from salt waste."
The radioactive constituents removed through the Interim Salt Waste Disposition Process include cesium, plutonium and strontium. These radionuclides are transferred to the Defense Waste Processing Facility, where they are mixed with molten glass and placed in stainless steel canisters awaiting permanent storage.
The remaining low-level salt solution is converted into a grout-cement mixture at the Saltstone facilities and pumped into concrete disposal units for permanent disposal.
According to Stuart MacVean, Savannah River Remediation interim president and project manager, the Interim Salt Waste Disposition Process is expected to surpass the fiscal year record set in 2011.
"The ISDP will be in a planned outage later this year so we can implement new technology called the 'next generation solvent,' which will enhance the processes' ability to extract cesium," MacVean said. "I expect to reach production targets prior to entering the outage."
There are approximately 36 million gallons of waste being stored in underground waste tanks at SRS. The waste is a by-product of the nation's Cold War weapons production program. About 90 percent, or 33 million gallons, is liquid salt waste.
Processing and disposing of the waste is essential for SRR to complete its mission of operationally closing the waste tanks. Waste in the tanks has been labeled as the single-greatest environmental risk in the state by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.

The Jersey Shore star recently tweeted, "Love my tattoos ❤#needmore" along with a pic of her beloved shoulder tattoo. But that had us wondering, How many tattoos does Snooki actually have?
Shoulder 1: Snooki has a very-guidette stars-and-animal print pattern on one shoulder.
Shoulder 2: On the other side, she has a crown with more stars.
The back: Snooki has "La Familia" inked on her back.
