Discussion: This FUSS w/ PAT & the lil' KIDZ.....
I don't know anything about the team or the guys are you are talking about. I read your message pointing out certain incidences that may have brought attention to certain individuals. I am writing this because you mentioned Terell of Florida being accused of using an altered bat.
If Terell of Florida is T-Rex as we know him, his character is beyond reproach. From the short time that I have spent with him, he would rather swing a broom stick than to use an altered bat. I hope he doesn't mind me writing this, but T-Rex is well into his 50's and has never had a drop of alcohol. Why? It's because of his Christian beliefs. I wasn't there, but I feel safe to say that T-Rex was hitting seeds or bombs and talking smack. There are a lot of REAL men on the circuit who can hit without CRUTCHES.
See you soon,
Your Brother

Discussion: unlimited arc
Unlimited Arc: I WILL RETIRE. As a 19 year old kid in 1974, I almost quit the game of softball because of the unlimited arc. I was 6'3" at the time. I can imagine what it would have been like had I been a gnome (LOL). I have nothing against short people; my girl is short (LOL). Slowpitch is supposed to be a hitter's game.
It is my opinion that the arc would not have any impact on the bat controversy. As long as man is breathing, there will be a BAT DOCTOR who will find a way, regardless of whether the bat is made of wood or bamboo. Therefore, someone will always, UNFORTUNATELY, have a hot bat.
This is a little off the subject, but Taits stated, "calls for excessive height". I recall playing in Canada and the base umpire made the ball/strike call as it related to height. There was a wire extending across the backstop which was the height of the ceilng for a strike. That would have an impact on excessive height and create consistency. Just something to think about.
Horace T, I had to respond to you because you have such a great first name (LOL). As for a pitcher making a difference in a game, he needs to work on his pitching like hitters work on their hitting. If a pitcher hit the front of the plate and the back of the mat consistently, he will be pretty effective.
Just a little tidbit from the Sunshine State. Horace J

Discussion: USSSA, Milwaukee
I hope you are doing well this afternoon. I am sure that recognize the words in quotations. Therefore, skip that and please continue to the next paragraph.
" suppose I could bend and live with someone calling some actual, grueling activity "war". But slow-pitch softball, especially the way Seniors play it? With courtesy runners? And run limits? And the maddingly slow pace that Seniors get on and off the field? And 5 teams in a bracket? Uhhhhhh, I don't think so."
A struggle or competition between opposing forces or for a particular end. That sentence is one of Merriam-Webster's definitions of the word WAR. By that definition, a game of checkers could be consider a war.
I would like to know a little about you if I may. I don't like to make assumptions' therefore, I am going to throw some things out there for you. Questions: Are you just a controversial kind of fellow? Why do you dislike Senior Softball? Why are you against runners? Are you against the base burglar in ISA? The young uses that player.
If you don't mind, please respond. I would love to read what you have to say.

Discussion: Sick of these bats !
Wood, I love your last sentence. I just figured I would throw my 2 cents in about the bats. I started playing senior softball regularly last year. Until this season, I used a yellow Synergy. I loved it. Had I not broken, it is very likely that I would still be using it. I now swing a Combat; it's hot! I also swing a Jeff Hall Mayhem, and I like that bat too.
Therefore, I must agree with your last sentence. I would like to say it another way, if you will allow me to do. A hammer is only as good as the carpenter.
For all of you who are questioning the usage of different bats, I have one question for you. WOULD YOU GO TO A GUN FIGHT WITH A KNIFE? It's about parity.

Discussion: CONGRATULATIONS
I want to publicly CONGRATULATE my teammates on Hollis Appraisals. Way to go FRIENDS! You guys are SPECIAL. Even though a game was lost 42-45, you displayed a mighty example of intestinal fortitude (GUTS). To be down 25-45 going into the bottom of the last inning and fight back with 17 without any HR\'s, showed a lot of determination. That inning may have been more impressive than the 27 run inning we had earlier in the tournament. Why? The game was on the line.
I can\'t say it enough. You guys are SPECIAL. I am PROUD to be associated with some of the best PLAYERS and PEOPLE in the WORLD.
Again, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Straight from the HEART,

Discussion: Joint Medication
I had knee surgery back in 1999. On March 12th of this year, I had to visit my doctor because the pain in my knee was intolerable. He gave me a cortosone (sp) shot. Now, I have heard of the pain some have experienced taking the shot; however, I didn't suffer at all. Since, I have gone back to my surgeon monthly. Each time he asked whether I needed another. I didn't. He also perscribed a drug called Mobic. If you aren't against taking prescribed meds, perhaps you should look into it. I do take the Mobic daily. I do experience some pain after competition involving multiple games. After icing, I am good for the next day. I can now run and walk without suffering. By the way, I am not scheduled to see the doctor until September.
Mobic is a generic form of a another drug. For me, the cost is $4 per month. It's worth it for me. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I am sure that my teammates are glad that there is something I can take.

Discussion: New Mat Size
I have an opinion and a question. I don't feel that expanding the width or the length will make that much of a difference. I can say that because I am 6'5" with long arms. As I stated, I am 6'5", and I have also played in Canada. Twelve feet is twelve feet, whether a person is 6'5" or 5'6". If adding inches to the mat is there to help the umpire, why don't they put a wire up near the backstop and allow the base umpire determine the legality of a pitch as it pertains to the height/ceiling? Now, that would help the umpire. I think that's where the inconsistencies lie.

Discussion: HELP ON THE RULES (SSWC OR ANYONE ELSE)
Freddie, I read your scenario. I may be wrong but this is the way that I think the rule would be interpreted. Being that the second runner has crossed the plate, it would seem to me that he would be treated as a player standing outside of the dugout. A deadball would be called, and the runner closest to the plate will be called out. The batter/runner will go back to second.
I am now interested in knowing the actual call.

Discussion: Miken Ultra II, the NEW Miken Ultra II Advanced and the Altering of Bats:
Stoneman, it's interesting to read all of the information about bats. You know that I have never been that knowledgeable about bats. Just give me a bat and let me swing. Whether a ball travels 330 or 430, it's only one run. However, I really do enjoy seeing those mammoth shots. I have never used an Ultra, not even during batting practice. After participating last weekend in Fort Myers, I may have to swing one for kicks. I saw some gnomes hitting balls that should have been routine outs. It was incredible. Okay! I'm sold.
Enlighten me, the other half of the booze brothers

"These projects are first-of-a-kind for Walt Disney World and we are thrilled to be able to bring Four Seasons to our resort," said Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort. "Families around the globe know they can trust Disney to deliver magical experiences and Four Seasons to offer exceptional service and amenities. Combined, this is a huge win for devotees of both brands and for Central Florida," said Crofton.
Along the northeast border of Walt Disney World Resort, Disney plans to convert its Eagle Pines and Osprey Ridge golf courses into a luxury resort and golf community. The development will include a luxury hotel, 18-hole championship golf course, single- and multi-family vacation homes and fractional ownership vacation homes.
Disney entered into a letter of intent with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts to bring these two complementary and respected brands together to anchor a new world-class family resort destination.
Four Seasons is dedicated to perfecting the travel experience through continuous innovation and the highest standards of hospitality. Currently with 74 hotels in 31 countries, and more than 25 properties under development, Four Seasons continues to lead the hospitality industry with innovative enhancements, making business travel easier and leisure travel more rewarding. The deeply instilled Four Seasons culture is personified in its employees people who share a single focus and are inspired to offer great service. Four Seasons currently operates two properties in Florida, Four Seasons Hotel Miami and the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach.
"The Resort will have all the ingredients needed to create memorable vacations: gracious and caring staff; beautiful surroundings that are thoughtfully designed; and services and amenities that make every experience one to cherish," said Kathleen Taylor, president and chief operating officer, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "It's an honor to collaborate with Walt Disney World Resort on this project. Walt Disney's reputation for service excellence and exceptional family entertainment amenities is an ideal complement to the values of Four Seasons. Central Florida will be a valuable addition to our family of resorts, particularly since this is a destination our guests already enjoy."
Once terms of the project are finalized, site work could begin later this year, with a hotel opening forecasted for 2010.
On the western edge of the resort, Disney is planning a mixed-use tourist commercial district just outside Disneys gateway entrance. The master-planned development is comparable in size to Disneys Animal Kingdom.
The project combines third-party branded lodging, retail and dining in a pedestrian-friendly environment and will be another example of Disneys commitment to unique placemaking. Located outside Disneys gateway around the interchange where Western Way meets the Western Beltway, early development plans include 4,000 - 5,000 low- to mid-rise, value-priced lodging units and 300,000 - 500,000 square feet of commercial space. Designed around a retail village, the development will become a convenient shopping and service center for Cast Members, nearby residents and Central Florida visitors.
The project is currently in the design stage. Site work and branding is anticipated to begin later this year. The project will be built in phases over the next 8 - 10 years.

Possibly Homer Simpson has already discovered this otherwise hidden meal time. "Linner" as you would have guessed is half way between lunch and dinner. Some days eating lunch at the customary time just isn't possible. You're just too busy, or maybe not hungry, but for whatever reason it's mid afternoon and you still haven't eaten. "Linner" is the answer. And Meshiya has a mid afternoon "happy hour" deal which fits the bill.
Between 3:00pm and 4:30pm Meshiya serves up a selection of three main course dishes for only $6.80 each. On offer are two fried rice dishes one featuring eel and the other crab, or an ox-tongue noodle soup. I wasn't game to try the ox-tongue. Some things just aren't meant to go into my mouth thanks! I ordered the eel which for no rational reason seems more palatable.
Also of reasonable value and available on the menu at any time are selection of rice dishes and Ramen (noodles in broth). I have had the Oyoka Don (rice topped with chicken and egg) for $10.30 which was a decent feed.
Highlight: The dining room has a cosy feeling on a cold day in town as you sit slightly sunken below footpath level. It beats sitting in that awful QV Urban Market food court nearby. Prompt and friendly service.
Criticism: The eel on fried rice dish was a little oily for my liking. My fellow diners ordered the crab on fried rice and disagreed with my complaint saying they were quite happy and will come again. Bill splitting was discouraged.

Live-blogging the Lynch hearing — afternoon edition, starring Ted Cruz
Loretta Lynch did a superb job of testifying this morning. She artfully ducked the few tough questions directed to her, while somehow managing to sound like the most accommodating nominee ever. Only Sen. Sessions laid a glove on her, in my opinion. The afternoon session will begin soon. I think I'll present my live-blogging of this one in chronological order rather than reverse chronological order, as I did this morning. »

Sharyl Attkisson to testify on Lynch confirmation, but why?
Loretta Lynch, President Obama's nominee for Attorney General, will testify tomorrow before the Senate Judiciary Committee. It should be an interesting day.

Lessons of the Risen case
We have written several times here about the case of James Risen. Called to testify in the government's prosecution of former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling for violation of the Espionage Act, Risen declined to testify; Sterling had laundered his exposure of a Clinton-era operation intended to undermine Iran's nuclear program (I rashly infer from the circumstances, under a promise of confidentiality) through Risen in one of his recent books.

Has Loretta Lynch violated the rights of crime victims?
Although, we have criticized the nomination of Loretta Lynch as Attorney General on a number of grounds, there's one substantial criticism that I'm not sure we have raised.

Questions for Loretta Lynch
George Will offers a list of questions he thinks Senators should put to Loretta Lynch, President Obama's nominee for Attorney General. The purpose of the questions, Will says, is to "highlight festering legal problems." The first question pertains to attempts by the federal government to "coerce colleges and universities into jettisoning crucial defendants' protections when adjudicating, in improvised tribunals, accusations of sexual assault." The question is well worth asking if »
How Eric Holder tried to showcase Loretta Lynch
Republican Senators, including Marco Rubio, reportedly have expressed an inclination to confirm Loretta Lynch as Attorney General. But given Lynch's similarities to, and connections with, Eric Holder, a vote to confirm Lynch would be an endorsement of the Holder Justice Department (not to mention the executive amnesty). This article by the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) describes how Eric Holder tried to showcase Lynch by enabling her to take »
Questions for Marco Rubio about Loretta Lynch
Loretta Lynch, President Obama's nominee for Attorney General, is making the rounds on Capitol Hill in advance of her upcoming Senate confirmation hearing.

They probably will be easy to find. Lindsey Graham, true to his role as »
Eric Holder invents rights for the transgendered
Christian Adams reports that Eric Holder has issued a decree stating that cross dressing and transsexualism are now protected under federal civil rights laws designed to protect women from sex discrimination. According to Holder, the "most straightforward reading" of Title VII's bar on discrimination 'because of … sex' — indeed, the "plain meaning" of its text — is that it bars discrimination "based on gender identity, including transgender status." Therefore, »
James Risen would prefer not to; Eric Holder must decide what he prefers
James Risen is the New York Times reporter who, on several occasions, has materially harmed the United States with his reporting on top secret affairs. As Scott Johnson has written, "If you are a disgruntled intelligence officer or official and want to preserve your anonymity while undermining a top secret program or aiding the enemies of the United States, Risen is your go-to guy." Scott went on to document this »
Is Loretta Lynch appreciably better than Eric Holder?
Senate Republicans reportedly are divided over the nomination of Loretta Lynch to succeed Eric Holder as Attorney General. The source of the division is President Obama's executive amnesty. Jeff Sessions has said, "I don't see how a person can serve as attorney general if they're going to participate in a massive nullification of American law." Under this sensible view, Lynch should be rejected unless her testimony persuades Senators that she »

Did Obama pressure Gov. Nixon to keep the National Guard out?
I noted here that the National Guard wasn't in Ferguson last night, and I wondered why. After all, Missouri Gov.

In addition, the mayor of Ferguson had requested the Guard's presence. Yet, the National Guard was nowhere to be seen »
Bombshell: Attorney General Targeted Attkisson [Updated]
Judicial Watch has slowly been prying Fast and Furious documents out of the desperate grip of the Obama administration. The Department of Justice has now produced around 40,000 pages of documents–a tiny amount–which Judicial Watch has posted on its web site.

Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch — is there a meaningful difference?
The nomination of Loretta Lynch for Attorney General elicited praise from many familiar with her work as a prosecutor.

Accuracy and Efficiency in Computational Chemistry: The Correlation Consistent Composite Approach
Date: August 2011
Creator: Wilson, Brent R.
Description: One of the central concerns of computational chemistry is that of efficiency (i.e. the development of methodologies which will yield increased accuracy of prediction without requiring additional computational resources – RAM, disk space, computing time). Though the equations of quantum mechanics are known, the solutions to these equations often require a great deal of computing power. This dissertation primarily concerns the theme of improved computational efficiency (i.e. the achievement of greater accuracy with reduced computational cost). Improvements in the efficiency of computational chemistry are explored first in terms of the correlation consistent composite approach (ccCA). The ccCA methodology was modified and this enhanced ccCA methodology was tested against the diverse G3/05 set of 454 energetic properties. As computational efficiency improves, molecules of increasing size may be studied and this dissertation explored the issues (differential correlation and size extensivity effects) associated with obtaining chemically accurate (within 1 kcal mol-1) enthalpies of formation for hydrocarbon molecules of escalating size. Two applied projects are also described; these projects concerned the theoretical prediction of a novel rare gas compound, FKrOH, and the mechanism of human glutathione synthetase's (hGS) negative cooperativity. The final work examined the prospect for the parameterization of the modified embedded atom ...

Accurate and Reliable Prediction of Energetic and Spectroscopic Properties Via Electronic Structure Methods
Date: August 2013
Creator: Laury, Marie L.
Description: Computational chemistry has led to the greater understanding of the molecular world, from the interaction of molecules, to the composition of molecular species and materials. Of the families of computational chemistry approaches available, the main families of electronic structure methods that are capable of accurate and/or reliable predictions of energetic, structural, and spectroscopic properties are ab initio methods and density functional theory (DFT). The focus of this dissertation is to improve the accuracy of predictions and computational efficiency (with respect to memory, disk space, and computer processing time) of some computational chemistry methods, which, in turn, can extend the size of molecule that can be addressed, and, for other methods, DFT, in particular, gain greater insight into which DFT methods are more reliable than others. Much, though not all, of the focus of this dissertation is upon transition metal species – species for which much less method development has been targeted or insight about method performance has been well established. The ab initio approach that has been targeted in this work is the correlation consistent composite approach (ccCA), which has proven to be a robust, ab initio computational method for main group and first row transition metal-containing molecules yielding, on ...

Adherence/Diffusion Barrier Layers for Copper Metallization: Amorphous Carbon:Silicon Polymerized Films
Date: May 2004
Creator: Pritchett, Merry
Description: Semiconductor circuitry feature miniaturization continues in response to Moore 's Law pushing the limits of aluminum and forcing the transition to Cu due to its lower resistivity and electromigration. Copper diffuses into silicon dioxide under thermal and electrical stresses, requiring the use of barriers to inhibit diffusion, adding to the insulator thickness and delay time, or replacement of SiO2 with new insulator materials that can inhibit diffusion while enabling Cu wetting. This study proposes modified amorphous silicon carbon hydrogen (a-Si:C:H) films as possible diffusion barriers and replacements for SiO2 between metal levels, interlevel dielectric (ILD), or between metal lines (IMD), based upon the diffusion inhibition of previous a-Si:C:H species expected lower dielectric constants, acceptable thermal conductivity. Vinyltrimethylsilane (VTMS) precursor was condensed on a titanium substrate at 90 K and bombarded with electron beams to induce crosslinking and form polymerized a-Si:C:H films. Modifications of the films with hydroxyl and nitrogen was accomplished by dosing the condensed VTMS with water or ammonia before electron bombardment producing a-Si:C:H/OH and a-Si:C:H/N and a-Si:C:H/OH/N polymerized films in expectation of developing films that would inhibit copper diffusion and promote Cu adherence, wetting, on the film surface. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy was used to characterize Cu metallization of ...

Adhesion/Diffusion Barrier Layers for Copper Integration: Carbon-Silicon Polymer Films and Tantalum Substrates
Date: December 1999
Creator: Chen, Li
Description: The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) has identified the integration of copper (Cu) with low-dielectric-constant (low-k) materials as a critical goal for future interconnect architectures. A fundamental understanding of the chemical interaction of Cu with various substrates, including diffusion barriers and adhesion promoters, is essential to achieve this goal. The objective of this research is to develop novel organic polymers as Cu/low-k interfacial layers and to investigate popular barrier candidates, such as clean and modified tantalum (Ta) substrates. Carbon-silicon (C-Si) polymeric films have been formed by electron beam bombardment or ultraviolet (UV) radiation of molecularly adsorbed vinyl silane precursors on metal substrates under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions. Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) studies show that polymerization is via the vinyl groups, while Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) results show that the polymerized films have compositions similar to the precursors. Films derived from vinyltrimethyl silane (VTMS) are adherent and stable on Ta substrates until 1100 K. Diffusion of deposited Cu overlayers is not observed below 800 K, with dewetting occurred only above 400 K. Hexafluorobenzene moieties can also be incorporated into the growing film with good thermal stability. Studies on the Ta substrates demonstrate that even sub-monolayer coverages of oxygen or carbide on polycrystalline ...

Advancements in Instrumentation for Fourier Transform Microwave Spectroscopy
Date: August 2011
Creator: Dewberry, Christopher Thomas
Description: The efforts of my research have led to the successful construction of several instruments that have helped expand the field of microwave spectroscopy. The classic Balle-Flygare spectrometer has been modified to include two different sets of antenna to operate in the frequency ranges 6-18 GHz and 18-26 GHz, allowing it to function for a large range without having to break vacuum. This modified FTMW instrument houses two low noise amplifiers in the vacuum chamber to allow for the LNAs to be as close to the antenna as physically possible, improving sensitivity. A new innovative Balle-Flygare type spectrometer, the efficient low frequency FTMW, was conceived and built to operate at frequencies as low as 500 MHz through the use of highly curved mirrors. This is new for FTMW techniques that normally operate at 4 GHz or higher with only a few exceptions around 2 GHz. The chirped pulse FTMW spectrometer uses horn antennas to observe spectra that span 2 GHz versus the standard 1 MHz of a cavity technique. This instrument decreases the amount of time to obtain a large spectral region of relative correct intensity molecular transitions. A Nd:YAG laser ablation apparatus was attached to the classic Balle-Flygare and chirped ...

Affordances of Instrumentation in General Chemistry Laboratories
Date: August 2010
Creator: Sherman, Kristin Mary Daniels
Description: The purpose of this study is to find out what students in the first chemistry course at the undergraduate level (general chemistry for science majors) know about the affordances of instrumentation used in the general chemistry laboratory and how their knowledge develops over time. Overall, students see the PASCO system as a useful and accurate measuring tool for general chemistry labs. They see the probeware as easy to use, portable, and able to interact with computers. Students find that the PASCO probeware system is useful in their general chemistry labs, more advanced chemistry labs, and in other science classes, and can be used in a variety of labs done in general chemistry. Students learn the affordances of the probeware through the lab manual, the laboratory teaching assistant, by trial and error, and from each other. The use of probeware systems provides lab instructors the opportunity to focus on the concepts illustrated by experiments and the opportunity to spend time discussing the results. In order to teach effectively, the instructor must know the correct name of the components involved, how to assemble and disassemble it correctly, how to troubleshoot the software, and must be able to replace broken or missing components ...

text: The Double-Duty® automatic is a Double-Action automatic that can function as a one handed opening locking-liner knife or be instantly fired in the automatic mode. The automatic firing mechanism is hidden under the handle and is activated by sliding the left side handle scale towards the back of the knife. Because there are no apparent buttons on the outside of the handle the fact that this is an automatic is known only to its owner. This makes the knife convenient to carry and use anywhere. The blade is 3.00 inches of CPM-S30V high-carbon super stainless steel for great edge retention and toughness. The liners, pocket clip and internal components are stainless steel. The handle is gun stock grade cocobolo wood. The knife is lightning fast, good looking and comfortable in the hand.

The "Colbert Bump" seems to be in effect in South Carolina's First District, where Stephen Colbert's sister, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, has a slight lead over both former Gov. Mark Sanford and former Charleston County Councilor Curtis Bostic, according to a poll conducted last week for her campaign.
Colbert Busch, the Democratic nominee in the special election contest, leads Sanford within the poll's margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.4 percentage points, 47 percent to 44 percent. Her lead over Bostic falls just outside the margin of error, 48 percent to 39 percent. The poll was conducted by the Democratic firm Lake Research Partners. The survey of 500 likely voters was conducted between March 25 and 27 and represents the only live-caller polling to be released publicly since the March 19 primary.
Bostic and Sanford will compete in a primary runoff on Tuesday to determine the Republican nominee, with the special election to be held five weeks later, on May 7. Though the district is heavily Republican -- Mitt Romney carried it by 18 points last fall -- Colbert Busch has touted her moderate appeal and business experience, as she hopes to become the first Democrat to represent the state's Lowcountry since then-Rep. Mendel Jackson Davis left office in 1981.
A release also touted Colbert Busch's two-to-one favorability rating, with 48 percent of likely special-election voters viewing her favorably, compared to 24 percent who have an unfavorable opinion of her. Pollster Celinda Lake said that contrasts with Sanford's image, which was net-negative: 43 percent of likely voters have a favorable opinion of him, while 49 percent view him unfavorably.
Colbert Busch has faced only token opposition so far, while Republicans have had their hands full whittling down a sixteen-candidate field. That has allowed her to spread a largely uncontested, positive vision of herself as a non-partisan local job-creator in two television ads so far. She's had some luck with fundraising as well, bringing in nearly as much as Sanford in the pre-primary period and outraising him among district residents -- albeit, with help from her famous younger brother. Once Tuesday's runoff results are finalized, attention and scrutiny will shift to Colbert Busch for the first time. Still, special elections are notoriously unpredictable and with Sanford's likely win on Tuesday, Democrats are confident that his baggage will weigh him in the general election.

REARVIEW MIRROR Filed March 31, 1951 /NVENTOR CHARLES G. KER/ his A T TORNE Y Patented Apr. 28, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT "oFFlCE Charles G. Kerr, San'Rafael, Calif. Application March 31, 1951, Serial No. 218,639
1 Claim.
My invention relates to rear view mirrors, and particularly to an auxiliary mirror for extending the field of rearward vision.
One of the objects of the invention is the provision of such a mirror which permits a more extensive coverage of the traffic lane on the right, and of cars approaching from the rear in that lane.
Another object is the provision of a simple mounting structure by which my auxiliary mirror without the use of tools, may be secured in place upon the main rear view mirror, so that the two may function together to give adequate coverage of the traffic lanes behind.
Every driver of a motor car realizes that traific conditions to the right and rear of his own car constitute major hazards to his safety whenever he is on the highway. Various arrangements of rear view mirrors are available, but high cost, dimculty of installation, bulkiness and inconvenience characterize many of them. It has been my purpose to provide a rear View mirror inconspicuous in size, but effective in reflecting the very dangerous area not generally included in the main mirror relied on for rear views, and in such simple and readily attached form as to encourage Wide adoption and use.
According to my invention, this has been accomplished by the provision of a small mirror on a mounting readily and inconspicuously attachable to the main rear view mirror, commonly found centrally above the windshield in motor cars. These main mirrors are excellent for reflecting the traific lanes to the rear in direct line and to the left side, but are incapable because of the angle of their setting, of also reflecting near trafiic to the rear and at the right.
In the mounting of my auxiliary mirror, I provide for the required angle of setting so that when the plane of the main mirror is adjusted to give the best coverage of the traffic lanes directly behind and to the left, my auxiliary mirror lies in the plane necessary for best coverage of the lane to the right and close behind, so that traffic conditions behind and on both sides of the car are constantly revealed.
Referring to the drawings: Fig. 1 is an elevation of my auxiliary mirror mounted in position of use on the end of the main mirror which is shown in dashed lines. Only the lower part of the auxiliary mirror glass is shown, the remainder being broken away to disclose the underlying backing plate. Fig. 2 is a top view of the structure shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken in the plane indicated by the line 33 of Fig. 1.
My auxiliary mirror comprises a reflector 2, preferably a glass plate silvered on the rear side; and held on the backing plate 3between the lugs or flanged tabs t, integrally extending from the backing plate.
Because it is desirable to reduce the weight to a minimum, the main body of the backing plate is made smaller than the reflector; and the tabs 4 extend outwardly and around the edge of the reflector as shown. The structure may be further lightened by a central aperture 6. A light gauge of mild steel plate is preferred as giving the best combination of lightness and stiffness.
Along the left edge of the reflector, as shown in Fig. 1, the backing plate is provided with an integral arm 1, offset a small amount, to the rear, as at 8; and then continued in a plane making a small angle with the plane of the backing plate.
This angle is a critical one and is adjusted to final or permanent value with each installation of my mirror, to conform with the specific conditions of that installation, including angle of setting on its own bracket of the main rear view mirror 9, and structural details of the vehicle. The adjustment is made by a slight corrective bending at the offset portion 8, which can readily be done by firm finger pressure. Once bent to the proper angle, no further adjustment or change is required.
Means are provided on the arm I for affording simple and easily manipulated securement to the right end of the main rear view mirror structure. The offset portion 8 provides a shoulder against which the right hand edge I2 of the main mirror structure may seat; and flanged tabs i3 spaced across the upper edge of the arm are arranged to engage the upper edge of the main mirror structure.
It then remains to provide means to keep the shoulder 8 against the main mirror structure and the tabs i3 from slipping. Such means is provided by the wire spring l6, having curledover ends l1, proportioned to curve over the upper and lower edges of the main mirror and resiliently engage its front surface as shown in Fig.
3. The spring is secured along its middle portion to the arm 1, by being pinched strongly under the tongue I 8, struck integrally from the central area of the arm. Oppositely extending shallow bows i9, lying in a plane at right angles with the ends I I prevent turning of the spring.
With engagement of the spring ends over the main mirror structure as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the two reflecting mirrors give an adequate coverage of trafiic approaching from the rear. Minor adjustment of the angular setting of the auxiliary mirror may be made if necessary by slipping the arm 1 off of the main mirror and bending it slightly at the shoulder, then remounting in the position shown.
In order to dampen any vibration occurring between the two mirrors, and obtain better fixity of position, it is advisable to insert a small sheet of thin rubber, blotting paper or similar cushioning pad 2| between the mounting arm I and the back of the main mirror. Rubber, cemented to the arm I is preferred for this.
I claim:
An auxiliary rear view mirror for attachment to a main rear view mirror comprising a reflector, a plate for mounting the reflector and extending to one side thereof in an arm ofiset from the plate to provide a shoulder to seat against an edge of the main mirror and having means thereon for securement to the main mirror, said means comprising a spring fixed between its ends to the rear face of the arm and having its ends shaped to extend about upper and lower edges of the main mirror to engage the front face there of, stops on the upper edge of the arm to engage the upper edge of the main mirror, and a cushioning pad on the front face of the arm to engage the rear face of the main mirror.

G4 MDD desktop cd/dvd drive running hot
Lately I have noticed that when I remove a cd from my platter, it is much warmer than usual. What troubleshooting might I do to establish if there is a problem, and if so, what it might be? Maybe primary cooling fan?
If you open up the MDD are the fans all running normally?

I am really disappointed in this "update". I find the UI in this version to be absolutely terrible, offering only control buttons at the top of the screen to do a simple action like reply. Plus the fact you need to open a tweet detail window to perform an action or click on a URL link. Plus, no light-colored theme, no push makes this a very disappointing "redesign".
On the plus side, I like the swiping to change timelines/lists and the inclusion of bit.ly for longer tweets.
TweetDeck for iPhone, take 2
TweetDeck hasn't launched an all new version of their popular Twitter client for iPhone -- they've launched a whole new app. It supports a ton of features:
- All major Twitter features are supported: Sending updates, retweeting (native and old-style), favourites, mentions, direct messages and searching
- Posting to multiple Twitter accounts is a breeze
- Facebook status updates, notifications, wall posts, Likes and comments are all at your fingertips
- Configurable, combined Home, Me and Inbox columns are standard, bringing all your feeds and notifications together
- Fully flexible custom columns allow the combination of any number of different feeds, from all services and all accounts. You decide what you want to see, just pinch a column and start configuring.
- Innovative navigation of Twitter profiles helps you discover new feeds that can all be added as columns at the touch of a button
- See the conversation in context with tweets above and below in detail view.
- Easily send long posts thanks to full Deck.ly support
- Clean & clear compose window features image uploading, geo-tagging and username autocomplete for @mentions. Press and hold a link to auto-shorten using j.mp
- Login with your TweetDeck account to speed through the setup process, or just provide a Twitter or Facebook account and get started.
- Jump to the top of a column with a quick tap of the iPhone status bar.
With features, however, comes complexity -- starting at login and going from there. No doubt a lot of users will love the power but many more will probably shake their head and go backLike we said up top, it's not a new version so it won't show up as an update -- you have to hit the link below and install the new app. If you do, let me know what you think -- the Twitter client of your dreams or... of your nightmares?

Plus the fact you need to open a tweet detail window to perform an action or click on a URL link. Plus, no light-colored theme, no push makes this a very disappointing "redesign".
Tweetdeck for iPhone 2.0 is simple & beautiful, almost a "Twitterific-clone", if you will.
Definitely 50% faster for me, loading multiple accounts for business. They didn't include support for bit.ly this is the only downfall. Yes with change you will get complaints as it takes a little time to get used to. Spend the 10-15 mins, read through their one page manual, and if you get stuck send a tweet to @iosdeck for a quick response. I like it.
I think its a great update. It almost identical to its android version that was greatly accepted. The functions are simplified so i think most can easily use the app. The huge bonus with this app is consolidated timelines, you get multiple twitter accounts, facebook, and foursquare all in one timeline. Its not meant to be a super option filled twitter client. I like the position marker how it shows you much much longer to the top.
Supports twitlonger? I'm sold.
tweetbot has hands down the best UI anyone could possibly think of, but i find that the single tap, double tap and triple tap actually makes things more complicated rather than simplifying it. alsotweetbot is missing quite a few features that are available in this here tweetdeck. the loading of new tweets is really fast and the UI is simple and easy, yes you need to open a tweet to reply, retweet or open a link, but im okay with that.
still would like to find some themes and a dedicated settings page. and im quite fond of the fact that when viewing a tweet you see the conversation that tweet is a part of... both leading up to the tweet AND afterwards! which i havent seen anywhere else (but not claiming doesnt exist)
im making this my dedicated twitter (and maybe facebook?) client for a few days to see how it holds up with my tweet needs.
What happened to groups? This was the only reason I stuck with TweetDeck for so long. I am not interested in reading 1 big timeline of all the feeds I follow. I want to break them into groups. Ppl I know, famous ppl, deal accounts and so on.

I want to love these..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Truth is they were very disappointing. I had to return the first pair due to what I thought was a stitching defect, but the second pair I received did the same thing. The inner sleeves are sewn very poorly and didn't even last two full riding days until they started to rip. They also slide down.
Yeah, ditto! 2 pairs. What is it with these guys at Troy Lee?

Suburban Anti-Semitisim
To the Editor:
Boris Weiss's "Reilly and I" [April] interested me keenly because our experience as the lone Jewish couple in a quiet neighborhood in southwest Philadelphia was so completely opposite. Our situation, it must be admitted, was simplified by the fact that we had no children.
In our case we bought a somewhat neglected house and modernized it. We landscaped it and put in a lawn and hedge, which were carefully tended. For our garden in the rear our gentile neighbors contributed shrubs and seedlings to supplement our own. If we played our records late at night, we made sure the volume was such that it disturbed nobody. This was the pattern in the neighborhood, and it suited us perfectly. When children from a nearby parochial school walked on our newly seeded lawn, they did the same to the non-Jewish lawns en route. Our good neighbor, Mrs. Dougherty, was continually phoning the Mother Superior about the depredations on her carefully tended lawn and others on the block.
At one point I contracted a fever and was not seen in the neighborhood for a few days. The second day I had two callers, Father Dougherty, the son of my good neighbor, and Father Brown. They had been sent by Mrs. Dougherty to pay a call on a sick neighbor. I confess that my life had been so provincial that, up to that time, I had had no contact with priests, and I wondered how one spoke to them. My concern was unnecessary, however, for conversation flowed freely. This was in the days when Father Coughlin was still in the ascendancy and Lindbergh had denounced President Roosevelt. To my surprise the priests were out of sympathy with the opinions of both Father Coughlin and Lindbergh. Let no one imagine, by the way, that my visitors had come to offer me the consolation of their faith.
One afternoon as the pupils were returning from parochial school I heard a crash against the front window. A large snowball had been thrown. Soon the doorbell rang and a little boy said, "I know who threw the snowball. It was Davey C, who is in Sister X's class." Greatly disquieted, I phoned the Mother Superior. The next afternoon a meek little boy turned up, apologized, and asked me what I would like him to do to make up for it. I gave him some cookies and candy and sent him home. Subsequently, I received a note of apology from his mother. . . .
I'm wondering whose experience is more typical, Mr. Weiss's or mine. Could it be that this is a matter of people getting on or not getting on, and not Jews versus non-Jews?
Abner A. Miller
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
To the Editor:
I can feel for Boris Weiss intensely, because my husband and I, and our children, recently underwent a similar experience in City Island (the northeast extremity of the Bronx).
We, too, "look funny"—my husband has a beard, and while I do not have long hair or go barefoot, I have that generally untidy and ungroomed look that is associated, I suppose, with the "intellectual woman." . . . The chill that greeted us upon our arrival in the neighborhood was absolutely unmitigated: I suppose because the furniture everyone saw unloaded from the Village movers' wagon looked even funnier than we did.
After a week or so, both of my children were terrified, mostly of a neighbor boy called Butchie; they would not leave the house except to take a bus directly to Orchard Beach. Gangs of teen-agers, not small children but teen-agers, would stand across the street from us and shout, jeer, and generally carry on. Whenever I walked down the street to shop I was followed by Butchie and his gang, who all chose to call me a "beatnik," which hurt me intensely, since no one cares less for that particular literary style than I do. . . .
All this went on unabated from June until the end of October. On Halloween, Butchie and his followers had a great spree of window-breaking and general uproarious-ness, with many eggs being tossed, many of them at our windows. The boys had put a jack o'lantern on the porch roof (we had the second story of a house) and the day after Halloween, Butchie and his friends shinnied up to knock it down. Presently my husband came home and as we were eating dinner, still another egg hit the dining room window.
My husband stormed downstairs to the porch, where finding the pieces of broken pumpkin, he directed the boys to throw them into Butchie's yard. Presently thousands of members of Butchie's family came boiling out of the house and demanded to know what was going on. John recited the list of Butchie's misdoings—the beebee gun shot through the window, the eggs, the beatings up of the boys, the name "beatnik" applied to me, the knocking down of the pumpkin—while Butchie's mother stood gasping, "Did my boy do that?"
After that there was no trouble with Butchie, and in a couple of weeks the boys were playing football with him. Nobody in City Island ever took us into their hearts, but by then we had stopped wanting to be loved by the City Islanders, and the following May—after a hair-raising experience with our landlord—we moved out. This was the first time I'd lived in Real America after many years of art colonies, the Lower East Side, Mexico, etc. Now I am back in Woodstock, and I shall never try Real America again.
But it hasn't anything to do with being Jewish. Only Real Americans are fit for Real America, and if you don't fit that category, don't try. I don't see much hope of changing anything, and I can only suggest that one stick to Manhattan or places like Woodstock or Provincetown or college towns or live abroad. I don't think that the Real Americans are ever going to rise up . . . but if they do, it is a type they are after—the "intellectual," the non-materialist, the somehow bizarre—and not the Jews. . . .
Why this should be is a matter for a more compassionate soul than I . . . perhaps these people are somehow deeply betrayed and unhappy in a very final and very total way. . . .

To the Editor:
Mr. Weiss ends his story with the admonition: "Sooner or later you, too, may have to take a stand." What stand, may I ask?
Mr. Weiss himself admits that unfortunately he did not know how to handle the problem that confronted him and his children, that he was torn between action and resignation until he had no choice but to run away.
I think that this article reflects the impression readers of COMMENTARY had—and commented on—from the 1961 symposium [on "Jewishness & the Younger Intellectuals"]: Jews who had not been taught why they are Jews were unable to fight for what they could not stand for. So Mr. Weiss instead of consulting a rabbi or a Jewish leader, asked advice from a priest.
I believe many readers will agree that it is time for the Jewish community—including the editors of COMMENTARY—to do something about positive Jewishness and help these troubled Jewish liberals who are trapped so hopelessly and who are unable to teach their own children.

To the Editor:
I was greatly heartened by the article "Reilly and I." . . . In these days of "brotherhood" it is increasingly easy for us to believe that anti-Semitism is as dead as the plague, and it is this comforting belief, as Mr. Weiss wisely points out, that is the greatest danger. In my own teaching experience, I have encountered the virus, perhaps not as virulent as it once was, but still very much alive.
Unfortunately for me, I do not fit the Jewish stereotype, or I might not have been hired to teach a group of youngsters predominantly Polish in origin. I was their first avowed "Jewish" teacher, although there were other Jews on the staff who had changed both their names and their religion in order to conform to the "norm" in that system.
Looking back on my experience, the most frightening aspect of the situation was the inability of the administrator to accept the fact that some of his students had been preconditioned in their homes. "The school," he told me, when I resigned, "is a democracy, or I myself would resign."
Admittedly, as a first-year teacher, I made many stupid mistakes. Perhaps the greatest of these was to treat the very first swastika carved into my desk as a manifestation of the normal childish desire to "rile" teacher. But I was new, fresh from a university which preached "progressive" education, and I permitted the situation to deteriorate "progressively," until I had no choice but resignation. . . .
Since the teaching profession (like the medical profession) does not like its dirty linen washed in public, I would be blackballed from all jobs if my own name appeared under this letter. . . .
Name Withheld
To the Editor:
Mr. Weiss's article deals with a problem that so many of us face today . . . not the problem of anti-Semitism, but of how to deal with aggression. It is the problem of anyone who is a skeptic, a believer in the power of reason, a liberal (in the sense of acknowledging the possibility of the Tightness of systems of belief other than his own).
Mr. Weiss is right in assuming that if he were committed to Judaism, he would have escaped his dilemma of what course of action to take. As a member of a congregation, he might have gone to the rabbi with the problem, and the rabbi in turn would have gone to the priest, who would have given more weight to the complaint of a fellow pastor than to that of a mere member of the community. Mr. Weiss may have been suspect in the priest's eyes not for being a Jew, but for not being a Jew.
And this, I think, is the point. Mr. Weiss himself says that he and his family were looked upon with suspicion because they were different—"beatniks" . . . non-conformists. It is not the believing and/or synagogue-going Jews who are a threat to the social order. They wear shoes, keep their lawns clean, and even drive white Cadillacs. It is the ones who ask questions who are a threat to the establishment.
How can the ones who ask questions defend themselves? When the Reillys begin to carry knives and nuclear weapons, boxing lessons won't help. . . . The only solution for the liberal, non-conforming parent is to raise his children in a community where there are other non-conformists. This means either the big city (a really cosmopolitan city) or a liberal college campus. As a non-believing Jew, one could avoid the problem of aggression by moving to a predominantly Jewish suburb, but this, I think, would present Mr. Weiss and his family with other problems.

To the Editor:
. . . "Boris Weiss's" tale is interesting . . . but it's the pseudonymity which is troublesome. An article in which the point is that "sooner or later, you too, may have to take a stand" hardly seems the place for such evasiveness. The "dangerous kind of ambivalence and malaise" which your writer admits marked his own behavior is only compounded by pseudonymity and, unless "Reilly and I" is a tour de force in the manner of John Berryman's "The Imaginary Jew," . . . then Boris Weiss may be, to accommodate your identifying note, "a young [Jewish] writer who lived for some time in a suburb of New York City" but who is not yet ready to be known as one. Your way, he turns out to be nobody, and Reilly wins again.

To the Editor:
Mr. Weiss has written . . . an eloquent indictment of the Reillys of this world and the uncertain Weisses who do not stand up to them. He understands himself, and does not shrink from self-blame, but he covertly ignores his real guilt.
One of the stereotypes of the Jew is that he is "pushy." He tries to worm his way in where he is not wanted, he responds where no invitation has been extended, is loud and demanding when no pattern of acceptance has been established. Whether this is a true picture of the Jew is unimportant. What is important is that Mr. Weiss acted exactly as the stereotype is supposed to, and possibly triggered a dislike the Reillys had not previously felt.
In a word, Mr. Weiss was "pushy," for his child, of course (which does not turn this fault into a virtue as is implied). He was guilty of not allowing his son to establish whatever relation he could with the local children, of avoiding them if no amicable relation proved possible. . . . The Reillys, admittedly vulgar and bigoted, were reasonably friendly before he began his misguided efforts to make Davy a part of the group. It was only after he had caught "Tommy's 'bullet passes,' and . . . the Gang's snowballs" and in general tried to insinuate his son into the gang, that the Reillys' car sailed past his wife.
This does not condone Reilly's action, but suggests that Mr. Weiss is to blame in a subtler and less noble sense than he indicates. It is not merely that he was afraid to stand up for himself, but that he overextended himself, not that he failed to be a man, but that he was too clearly the Jew and the alien (by his own admission, he was considered something of a "beatnik"). Apparently unsure of his Jewishness, he could not forebear to try to be "regular." This pose was resented; he was not "regular" in terms of Whyte Street, and a sham is a sham everywhere. The result, as might have been expected, was the ostracism of his children and a contempt for the "Jew."
Mr. Weiss is right in saying that under certain conditions one ought to fight, but he uses this truth to cloak his mistake in allowing the situation to develop. Had he simply lived with his alienation from his ancestry and not tried to make his children part of the group (one big, happy family of man), it is possible that no problem would have arisen.

Lake Placid Lake Placid Central School District Superintendent Randy Richards must go, and he must go now, according to hundreds of district residents.
At the School Board's Feb. 21 meeting, retired Middle/High School Principal Robert Schiller presented Board President Phil Baumbach with a petition signed by almost 600 people who want Richards to resign immediately.
"It is my opinion that if the board does not act and Dr. Richards does not resign upon receiving this petition, that the ramifications would be catastrophic for the school district," Schiller said during the public comment period.
Schiller and many others have been asking Richards to resign and putting pressure on the School Board to force the issue since December, after it was learned that the superintendent had used inappropriate language when referring to female employees, including the word "bitchy." Richards apologized for his actions in a districtwide letter in early December, but that hasn't stopped Schiller and members of the recently formed Community Alliance for Responsible Excellence in Education (CAREE) from their mission to oust Richards from his job.
"The questions remain, the solution seems obvious, yet nothing has been resolved," Schiller said, reading from a prepared statement. "So tonight we will change the dialogue and the direction of the debate. Tonight the school board must take notice and act. Tonight is the night that this board of education will hear the voice of a collective of the school community. Although each board meeting has had community input, this meeting will raise the bar in dramatic fashion."
With almost 600 names on the petition, Schiller said that number is significant, as it represents the number of voters who typically pass a school budget. In actuality, 746 people voted on the 2011-12 school budget May 17, 2011. Voters also elected Herbert Stoerr to the board with 501 votes and re-elected Baumbach with 476.

JJ'S Feedback Blog: 6 Ways Angela Can Meet Her Diet Goals
OK, Miss Angela: Time to stop wishing and hoping, and more importantly, time to draw out a plan and execute it.
Let's start fresh and build on the success you have (fitting into a size 8 dress is a definite win! You look fabulous in your bridesmaid dress).
First off, how much weight exactly do you want to lose for your cousin's wedding in Houston? And where do you want to be for your birthday? More importantly – what are you going to do to get there? Remember these 6 things that are critical to your success:
1. Set specific goals
2. Get your next dress and keep it out where you see it every day as a reminder that you are where you want to go.
3. Get back to journaling – write down everything that you eat and drink so that you are totally accountable. Ideally, add that protein shake back in for one meal a day as well.
4. Find a friend to do this with and check in daily. Hold each other accountable.
5. Get the exercise going 5 days a week! This is another great place to involve a friend.
6. Make sure you are weighing and measuring every week, no matter what.
Also I wanted to connect with you on one thing you said that was concerning to me – that you didn't want to be deprived. Learn to love grilled salmon, grilled chicken breast, and sliced turkey. Have loads of non-starchy veggies, and make sure that the starchy carbs you eat are as whole and minimally processed as possible, like sweet potatoes or lentils. If you find healthier options to replace the foods that you crave, then this won't be an issue. And if you equate these foods with the body you want, that will help reinforce your diet decisions.

Recommend: Yes
I agree with some of the other reviews. I too was disappointed in the size and quality for the amount paid.
We have listened, and are aware that we missed the mark on the quality of this item! We have reproduced these Wall Plaques, and believe the material improvements will bring this item to our high DaySpring standards.
Recommend: No
I thought I would use this as a gift for a wedding, where it would make a great gift for the couple (and I still may give it to them) but for the money, it was not worth it. I thought it would have been bigger (next time I will get a ruler out). A little disappointed...
Looks nice, but the ribbon is really too large, pulled away from the back. It is cheaply made. Bought it for a gift, but decided against it after seeing it.
Although this is a lovely looking piece, it is not what I expected quality-wise. I should have read the description and looked at the other photos rather than just the large photo, but I assumed that it would be mounted on some sort of thick, sturdy surface. The smaller ones are mounted on a composite board that is about 1/2 inch thick, but this piece is just paper wrapped on cardboard. To make matters worse, there are two random ribbons attached to the back--I had to look at the description photos to figure out what they were for, because the ribbons aren't even shown in the large photo. Apparently, you're supposed to tie them together in a bow to use as a hanger, but the ribbon is wide and virtually impossible to tie in an attractive bow, and when you pull firmly on it, the ribbon comes off!
I love the song and the graphics, but because of the inferior nature of product and the silly bow feature, it is definitely not worth $14.99. If it had been made like the smaller ones, I would have rated it with 5 stars, but this is more like a glorified card.

Basic splitboard skins
These work well, though I wish they had tail clips. There have been times when they've started coming off the board after a few laps taking them on and off and getting some snow on it. Wish they came with the nice mesh sheet that helps keep the skins together when you're not using them, but makes it easy to pull apart because these are sticky as hell.

What Is the Google Algorithm?
At its most understanable, an algorithm is "a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end especially by a computer." In the context of the Google search engine, this essentially means using a step-by-step process to hierarchically rank search results relevant to a person's search query. This system is known as the PageRank system.
Why is this important?
This is important because the better this algorithm becomes, the more relevant search results will be for a user. Also, over time, it's possible for this algorithm to be understood by search engine manipulators, bloggers and SEO marketer providing guest blogging services. Google doesn't want what is known as "black hat" SEO tactics employed in order to artificially inflate a page's rank (and thereby decrease user satisfaction). So it constantly changes the algorithm to create a better, more relevant, search experience and also to punish "black hat" tactics. In fact, this year, Google has made over 30 major changes to its algorithm so far.
What Are the Changes?
There have been literally thousands of changes to Google's algorithm since its inception. Below are just a few examples of those changes over the past four years:
- August 2008 – Google Suggest
In order to provide more seamless searching, Google began "suggesting" search terms as a user typed his/her query into the search box.
- February 2009 – Vince
This change was introduced presumably to give more weight to "trusted" sights; however, it appeared to simply give more weight to "big brands" in the search rankings.
- December 2008 – Real Time Search
Google introduced this change to give users the opportunity to witness real time results of their search as those changes took place.
- September 2010 – Google Instant
Piggy-backing off of Google Suggest, Google Instant began displaying results of a query as the user was typing it.
- February 2011 – Panda/Farmer
As part of a promised change, Google effected a change in algorithm that hit a full 12% of search results. One of the higher "hitting" algorithm changes, this ranking change was primarily enforced to weed out content farms that worked t heir way to the top of the search list by producing "shallow" and/or low quality content.
- November 2011 – Freshness Update
Another change that hit a lot of searches was the Freshness Update. Google implemented this update to help users find content that was "relevant and recent."
- January 2012 – Top Heavy
The name is not official, but the effects certainly were. Google designed this update to devalue sites with too many ads above the fold. It affected less that 1% of searches.
Who Should Be Concerned?
Well, no one really, except spammers, guest blogging services using black-hat techniques, link stuffers and link farmers. Ok, there are a lot. But, if webmasters and SEO writers produce quality content that targets their intended audience, they shouldn't have a problem. The best bet is to keep material fresh, relevant and high quality because Google will always be rolling out with new algorithms – and that will never change.
