FOSSIL, Ore. - Helix dropped to Condon-Wheeler in a Big Sky girls volleyball match Saturday.
Condon-Wheeler swept the Grizzlies 25-22, 25-20, and 25-13.
"We had our opportunities," Helix coach Tammy Parker said. "We had too many unforced errors that cost us the first two games. We couldn't recover for game three."
Chaynne Hack led the Grizzly hitters with seven kills. Niccy Thompson added four kills and went 13-of-14 from the serving line with two aces.
The loss drops Helix to 1-5 in league, but playoff hopes are still alive. Echo and Helix are tied for third and will play that tie off if Echo loses its last league match.
The Grizzlies host Union in a non-league match at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Animal Love Lessons
Animal Love Lessons
Animal Love Lessons
When you are a relationship expert, it seems there is no escaping love lessons. Whether I go to a playground, the circus, the grocery store or the laundromat, I'm always picking up jewels of relationship wisdom. But my visit to the San Diego Zoo this weekend may have trumped them all. Every stop along the way served up some sort of lesson in love, far more enlightening than any textbook, episode of Dr. Drew, or blog. By studying the simplicity of our furry, feathered and scaly friends, I noticed how our complicated lives unnecessarily complicate our love lives. The animals at the zoo just get it. They have such an unpolluted way of taking care of themselves and of each other. Of course they don't have jobs, dreams, taxes to pay and a zillion other things that can distract them from focusing on what really matters, but even still I think it is worthwhile, to stop and observe the methods of a few favorite animals and see what learnings you can extract and apply to your own ways of love. To get you started, here are a few things that the my favorite animals taught me about pure and primal love this weekend:
Orangutans prioritize play.
These red-haired, spaghetti-armed primates live to be silly. Constantly swinging from ropes, flipping over branches, playing peek a boo and tugging on each other's beards just to crack a smile out of one other, these guys are always looking for a reason to have fun.
Love lesson learned: Relationships need a good dose of teasing, taunting and a lot of fun!
Ducks believe in loyalty.
One of the few monogamous creatures in the animal kingdom, family first is the motto of the duck. Whether on land or in water, ducks always stick together and appear to be harmonious while doing so. They wait for each other when one is slower, always looking out for each other's best interest.
Love lesson learned: Commitment is simply a decision to go the distance with your chosen one, no matter what.

Most of the 27 species of ducks which frequent Kansas are produced in states and the Canadian provinces to the north. Although 14 species of ducks are known to have nested in Kansas, the major portion of the resident breeding population, estimated at about 20,000 pairs, is composed of wood ducks, blue-winged teal and mallards.
From 1984 through 2003 the total number of ducks reported during the 14 surveys conducted annually (two per month, September through March) on major waterfowl areas in Kansas varied from a high of 3,959,000 in 1998 to a low of 1,194,000 in 1991, and averaged approximately 2,081,000 annually. Generally speaking, duck numbers and harvest declined from levels experienced during the 1970's, when an all time high of 10,015,000 ducks were reported during waterfowl surveys in 1972, and the average number observed each year (1970-79) was 5,820,000. This decline in Kansas duck numbers is largely due to loss of breeding habitat in Canada and states north of Kansas, aging of our reservoirs, and changing agricultural practices in our state.
The five most common ducks observed during the 14 annual surveys in Kansas include the mallard, northern pintail, green-winged teal, gadwall and blue-winged teal. Kansas is about half way down the Central Flyway's eastern tier of states, an area crossed by some of the major migration routes of ducks. Of the five most common ducks, blue-winged teal are the first to arrive, peaking in September and early October. The next major influx of migrants occurs in late October and early November. Northern pintail begin a major buildup in late October, with green-winged teal and gadwall arriving and peaking during the first half of November. Mallards are the last of the top five to arrive, peaking in late December. The mallard is king in our state, with numbers observed commonly reaching 300,000 during the second half of December.
Although the migration chronology of Kansas ducks varies considerably from year to year, depending on weather, there is usually a gradual increase in duck numbers beginning in late August and peaking during December or early January. While data summarized on a statewide basis may show a gradual buildup of ducks, the numbers observed on a particular wetland may have migration characteristics quite different from the "state average". A common misconception is that there is a gradual movement of ducks, north to south, during the fall and early winter periods. However, a shallow marsh near the Oklahoma border may have peak numbers in late October while a reservoir near the Nebraska border may not see maximum numbers until late December. Within Kansas, the type of habitat has a greater influence on the timing and species composition of the duck migration than does the location.
Over the long term, the fall and winter populations of ducks in Kansas should roughly correlate with the breeding population index for these species. However, numbers observed are influenced by habitat conditions in our state. Even in years of high flyway populations, poor habitat conditions in Kansas will lower fall populations and harvest in Kansas. Conversely, in years of low flyway populations, good habitat conditions in Kansas will raise Kansas fall populations and harvest.
During the past six years (1999-2004), Kansas duck hunters averaged approximately 119,000 duck hunting days, and harvested about 228,000 ducks annually. The highest Kansas duck harvest reported occurred in 1971, when an estimated 430,000 ducks were taken. In recent years, mallards have comprised about 50 percent of the total harvest, followed by gadwall at about 14 percent, and green-winged teal at 12 percent.
The future of ducks, unlike geese, is troubling. The long term degradation and loss of wetlands and native prairie on their breeding grounds is a serious problem that is difficult to address. The combination of the agricultural Conservation Reserve Program and record breaking rainfall allowed breeding numbers to rebound during the 1990's to levels similar to those observed during 1970's. However, discontinuance of the Conservation Reserve Program, or a return to normal rainfall levels on the breeding grounds, will have severe negative impacts on duck production and fall flights. Federal and state agencies, along with a number of private organizations are working to maintain quality breeding habitat, but the task is difficult and far from being accomplished.
For weekly updates on waterfowl numbers on Wildlife Areas during the fall and winter period go to the regional waterfowl reports.
Waterfowl Hunting regulations are set annually. Click here to view the latest Kansas Hunting & Furharvesting Regulations Summary.
Youth Waterfowl Seasons: In each of the duck zones, two days are set aside for youth waterfowl hunting (ducks and dark geese). Hunters 15 and younger may hunt under the supervision of an adult 18 or older. The adult may NOT hunt.
Youth Season Daily Bag Limit: 6 (which may include no more than 1 canvasback; 2 scaup; 2 redhead; 2 pintails; 3 wood ducks; and 5 mallards(2 hens). All ducks, coots, mergansers, light geese and dark geese are legal to take.
Youth Season Possession Limit: Double the legal daily bag.
Legal Methods of Taking Waterfowl
Bow and arrow, falconry, or shotgun no larger than 10-guage. Shotguns shall not be able to hold more than three shells.
Illegal Methods of Taking Waterfowl
No person shall take migratory game birds:
1) With a shotgun capable of holding more than three (3) shells, in the magazine and chamber combined.
2) With a trap, snare, fishhook, net, rifle, pistol, shotgun slug, shotgun larger than 10 gauge, poison, drug, or explosive.
3) With the use or aid of electronically amplified or recorded bird calls, or imitations of bird calls or sounds.
4) From a sink box (a low floating device, having a depression affording the hunter means of concealment beneath the surface of the water).
5) From or by means of any motor boat or sail boat unless the motor has been completely shut off and/or the sail furled, and its progress from there has ceased.
6) By the use or aid of live decoys. All tame, captive ducks and geese must be removed 10 days before hunting.
7) By driving, rallying, or chasing birds with any motorized conveyance or any sail boat to put them in range of the hunters.
Wanton Waste
By regulation, hunters must attempt to find any game crippled or killed. Retrieved animals must be kept until: 1) cleaned, 2) eaten, 3) taken home, 4) taken to a taxidermist or processor, or 5) given to another person.
Possession of Live Birds
Wounded waterfowl reduced to possession shall be immediately killed and included in the daily bag.
Transporting Harvested Waterfowl
One fully-feathered wing and /or head must remain attached to waterfowl when transported.
No person shall ship migratory game birds unless the package is marked on the outside with: 1) the name and address of the person sending the birds, 2) the name and address of the person to whom the birds are being sent, and 3) the number of birds, by species, contained in the package.
Giving or Receiving Waterfowl
No person may receive, possess, or give to another, any freshly killed migratory game birds as a gift, except at the personal abodes of the donor or donee, unless such birds have a tag attached, signed by the hunter who took the birds, stating the hunter's address, the total number and species of birds, and the date such birds were taken.
Tagging Requirements
No person shall put or leave any migratory game birds at any place (other than at his personal abode), or in the custody of another person for picking, cleaning, processing, shipping, transportation, or storage (including temporary storage), or for the purpose of having taxidermy services performed, unless such birds have a tag attached, signed by the hunter, stating his address, the total number and species of birds, and the date such birds were killed. Migratory game birds being transported in any vehicle as the personal baggage of the possessor are not considered as being in storage or temporary storage.
Electronic or Mechanically Operated Decoys
The use of electronic or mechanically operated decoys that do not produce bird sounds is legal.
Waterfowl Baiting Regulations
Baiting regulations differ between doves and waterfowl, and are among the most troublesome for hunters to understand. For detailed information on waterfowl baiting go to http://www.le.fws.gov/HuntFish/waterfowl_baiting.htm
Some general baiting rules that waterfowl hunters should remember:
- They may not place, expose, deposit, distribute or scatter salt, grain or other feed that could lure waterfowl to, on or over the area where they are hunting.
- They may not hunt a baited area until 10 days after all bait or feed has been completely removed.
- Hunters are responsible for ensuring that the area they plan on hunting has not been baited before they start hunting.
- Hunters may hunt all migratory game birds over natural vegetation that has been mowed or manipulated in other ways, or where seeds or grains have been scattered solely as a result of a normal agricultural planting or normal soil stabilization practice.
- Hunters may use natural vegetation to conceal or construct a blind.
- Hunters may hunt waterfowl over standing crops, standing flooded crops and flooded harvested cropland.
Duck regulations include species and sex specific restrictions. The ability of hunters to identify and select desired targets before shooting is important in managing the harvest and allowing maximum hunting opportunity without jeopardizing the future of our waterfowl resource. For help with duck identification go to -- http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/tools/waterfwl/waterfwl.htm
A number of population and harvest surveys are conducted annually that are utilized in the development of waterfowl management programs and regulations. To view data for Kansas and the Central Flyway, go to http://www.flyways.us/
Information obtained from band recoveries reported by hunters and other individuals is, along with harvest and population data, critical to the management of our waterfowl resources. Information derived from banding includes the distribution of the harvest from a particular banding area, the timing of the harvest and most importantly, the harvest rate. This information is utilized annually in the development of harvest frameworks and final regulations. To report a band call 1/800/327/2263 or go to http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/call800.htm
Since most ducks are migratory birds crossing state and national boundaries, regulations and management practices that affect their population numbers must extend beyond our state and include other agencies. Establishing waterfowl regulations is an annual process that can be roughly divided into two areas. The first involves the activities of the states and provinces, working through their respective Flyway Councils in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to develop season frameworks. "Frameworks" set the limit on maximum season length and bag limit, shooting hours, and the earliest opening and latest closing dates of the season for a particular species. This process of developing frameworks begins in December and doesn't end until August.
Once the frameworks are established by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which has the ultimate authority for the welfare of our migratory bird resources, the states begin the second part of the annual regulatory process. This second phase involves developing and adopting season dates, bag limits and shooting hours specific to their jurisdiction. A state can always be more restrictive than allowed by the frameworks, but it cannot be more liberal. The primary consideration when developing frameworks is the long-term welfare of the species or resource. Although this consideration is still present when states develop their specific hunting regulations, greater emphasis is placed on providing the greatest amount of hunter opportunity and satisfaction within the limits of the frameworks.
The basis for a rangewide approach to duck management was provided by Fredrick Lincoln, who initiated the first large-scale banding in the United States in 1922. As Lincoln received bands from his ducks, he became convinced that waterfowl management would have to be tailored to the different migration routes. In 1935, he suggested that four flyways be established across the United States and that management regulations be tuned to the situations that prevailed in those flyways. Adoption of his proposal was slow, and it was not until 1948 that the Flyway system was implemented.
Kansas is located within the Central Flyway, which is composed of ten states including Montana and North Dakota to the north, extending south through Texas and New Mexico. Only that area of the West Tier states east of the Continental Divide is currently included within the Central Flyway boundaries. Although the basic responsibility for the management of waterfowl rests with the Federal Government, the states must be involved. In order to transcend state borders, the ten Central Flyway states have joined administratively and formed the Central Flyway Council. The directors of the state fish and game agencies of the flyway states, or their designated representatives, constitute the official voting members of the Council. Delegates from the Canadian provinces participate in Council activities, but do not vote on regulatory recommendations. The Council provides an excellent forum for communication and understanding the problems throughout the flyway and attacking these problems in a cooperative, scientific way. Much of the information needed for the management of ducks is continuously being obtained through banding, survey, and research efforts, planned and conducted by the Flyway Council and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The area had a significant flood event during the first week of August. This washed out all of the moist soil food production in Gun Club Marsh. However, the moist soil production in Buffalo Creek and Pintail Marshes remain excellent. Due to the warm weather in September and early October, we have lost some water to evaporation and will need some timely rains to put water back on wetland areas still containing food.
Gamekeeper Marsh is full with an average water depth of 12 inches, Gun Club Marsh (a.k.a. Sportsman's Lake on Google Maps) has an average depth of 28 inches, Marsh Creek Marsh has deep water along the creek channel and shallower water along the flats and all the off channel storage pools have huntable water. Buffalo Creek Marshes have 10 - 20 inches of water (hunters need to be cautious of the main drainage in Buffalo Creek South Marsh, this water is around four foot deep), Pintail Marsh has mainly sheet water with several small, shallow pools as a result of the August flooding. Puddler and Ringneck marshes are both dry. Managers will finish pumping some of the off channel storage pools along Marsh Creek by early next week.
|Hunting conditions
Fair, hunters are encouraged to scout prior to hunting and be mindful of other hunters that are already set up. Bird numbers are fluctuating daily.
|Expected hunting success
Hunters will need to scout out areas birds are utilizing in order to be successful. Hunters averaged 4.3 birds per hunter during the last week. Managers have been seeing flights of Sandhill Cranes move through the area. Be mindful that with the flights of Sandhill Cranes, there have been reports of Whooping Cranes spotted with the Sandhill Cranes. If Whooping Cranes show up on the area, the marsh they are staying in will be closed to any activity until they move on.
There was a significant increase in Mallards and geese with last weeks cold front. Conditions should improve with the forecast, however with colder nights, ice will become an issue.
Hunters are now required to check in using the electronic permitting system.
HUNTERS NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT IN iSportsman BY GOING TO https://kdwpt.isportsman.net AND FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:
Hunters need to make sure they have all the appropriate licenses and stamps for hunting waterfowl. The following are required:
Marsh Creek Marsh is for non-gasoline powered boats only, this includes electric motor boats and boats with no motors. Gasoline engines are prohibited.
THE REFUGE IS CLOSED FROM OCTOBER 1 TO JANUARY 31 on the north half of Gamekeeper Marsh.
Please introduce youth and novice hunters to the outdoors. Pass it on!
LOVEWELL RESERVOIR - Last Updated: 11/23/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
|3,350 ducks mostly mallards, but teal,gadwalls, widgeon and some divers. 700 Canada geese, 500 snow geese and some white-fronted geese. Sandhill cranes are migrating through the area but this has tailed off.
|Mallard Migration Ranking
|Mallard Migration ranking = 4
|Water level
|Reservoir is at 1.74 feet below conservation pool. Inflows (13.8 cfs) to Lovewell from the Courtland Canal. Outflows to the Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District for irrigation ceased on 09/12/15). The reservoir levels will continue to slowly rise through the fall and are currently rising at 0.1 - 0.3 ft per week.
|Hunting condition
|Water levels have pushed into the vegetation surrounding the shorelines giving good concealment for hunters. Reservoir levels have been high all summer and the mudflats were not exposed until earlier mid- August. No millet seeding occurred. Not much moist soil food on the reservoir. Lovewell Reservoir will go into winter at least 1 f00t below conservation pool. which is 1 foot higher than normal operating levels for winter to keep ice build-up off the dam face.
|Expected hunting success
|Good to excellent. The Dakotas are freezing this week and a robust fall migration ramps up. Low food on the reservoir but plentiful crops on private cropland. Waterfowl will most likely use the reservoir as a loafing a roosting spot.
White Rock Creek boat ramp too low to launch boats except small layout boats. Boat ramps in the State Park, (Cedar Point, the Marina and Cabin Area) are OPEN ,PARK PERMIT REQUIRED.Boat Ramps in the Wildlife Area, (Pawnee Point, Oak Hill and White Rock Creek) do not require a permit.The LAND REFUGE CLOSED OCTOBER 1.

FREE DAILY HUNT PERMITS REQUIRED FOR ALL HUNTING ON THE AREA. ELECTRONIC PERMITS NOW AVAILABLE. REGISTER AT THE i-SPORTSMAN LINK ON THE KDWPT WEBSITE. Lovewell Wildlife Area has been requiring all hunters to register with our paper card, Hunter Survey System and this is still required but a new system called i-Sportsman is now in effect that allows hunters to check-in and check-out electronically with a PC, smartphone, any mobile device and even a rotary dial phone. Hunters are encouraged to pre-register for an account on-line and must do so from a PC, establish a password and PIN. This will really speed up the process over the card system. Follow this link to get registered. https://kdwpt.isportsman.net/ PAPER PERMITS AVAILABLE ONLY AT THE LOVEWELL STATE PARK INFORMATION CENTER IN FRONT OF OR DIRECTLY WEST OF THE LOVEWELL OFFICE. If using the card system, the top portion of the two-part permit must be filled out and returned to the survey station prior to hunting and the bottom portion kept with the hunter to record hunting activity. After the hunt the bottom portion is also returned to the survey station where the permits will be collected and information recorded to assist managers with improving the area. THE REFUGE IS CLOSED FROM NOVEMBER 1 TO JANUARY 31 on the NORTHEAST half of the reservoir and Wildlife Area from 1/8th mile west of the south end of the dam and following a buoy line northwest to the western boundary of the Cabin Area. No hunting from the park shoreline. Please introduce youth and novice hunters to the outdoors. Pass it on!

MILFORD WILDLIFE AREA - Last Updated: 11/25/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
Regular duck season opens October 31st.
Roughly 300 ducks were seen on the survey this week on the wetlands. There was a good push of ducks last Friday with several limits taken but they do not appear to have stayed.
Waterfowl counts given on this report are based on what was observed on the day the report is updated. Waterfowl numbers vary greatly from day to day and weather conditions and hunting pressure will affect the numbers of waterfowl on the area.
|Lake level
|Current Level is 1145.0 Conservation Pool is 1144.4 The dam is releasing 84 CFS. The inflow into the lake is 140 cfs.
|Hunting conditions
Due to frequent river flooding and high lake levels throughout the growing season, the vegetation and seed production has been significantly reduced.
No activites/hunting allowed in the Steve Lloyd Wetland/Refuge.
Motorized boats are only allowed in Mall Creek wetland, electric motors are considered "motorized". All other public hunting wetlands are open to NON motorized boats and walk in hunting.
The West Broughton Youth/Mentor Area looks excellent this year due to the installation of a new wetland pump.
Beichter, Martin, Quimby, Zach Hudec, Upper and Lower smith have been and will continue to be pumped throughout the season as long as the weather and water rights permit.
|Expected hunting success
|Fair. Few birds in the area but some duck hunters have had some success.
Do NOT drive on dikes. Vehicles disrupt and discourage waterfowl from using the wetland areas. We have had several dikes being damaged due to unauthorized vehicles driving on them. Scouting is best done on foot to evaluate bird numbers and habitat conditions.
Please report any vehicles on dikes and anyone seen disturbing our pumps. Without the pumps in optimal condition we are unable to pump the wetlands to their greatest potential.
Remember - an electronic permit/sign-in on Isportsman is required for all hunting on Milford Wildlife Area. Hunters can register and check in using the new I-sportsman system from any rotary phone or internet device. The information collected and comments received are very useful in establishing future management goals for the area.

CHEYENNE BOTTOMS - Last Updated: 11/25/2015 Print
|Waterfowl numbers
We estimate 10,000 to 20,000 ducks on the Area. Most duck use is in the refuge Pool 1. Mallard numbers seem to have increased some this past weekend. Total goose numbers are estimated at 100,000 to 200,000 geese now on the Area, about half are white-fronts. Some sandhill cranes are staying briefly on the Area, but are unpredictable.
Mallard Migration Rank: 3 (subjective estimate of potential mallard numbers. 1=lowest, 10=highest).
|Water level
|Pools 1A, 1B and 1C each are at 8 inches. Pool 2 is near 9 inches, Pools 3A is about 2.5 inches, 3B is dry, 4A is about 6 inches, 4B is near 9.5 inches and Pool 5 has only trapped water.
|Hunting conditions
|Cattail have expanded in area. Pool 3B will likely remain dry through the winter to allow for cattail control work this winter and next spring. Pool 3A will be managed as a primitive hunting pool and closed to motorized watercraft. The hot, dry, windy weather took a toll on our water, particularly now that it is spread out over most of the Wildlife Area. Shallow water will mean difficulty for larger motorized boats.
|Expected hunting success
|For Nov. 21 thru Nov. 25 hunters averaged about 1.9 ducks per hunt. Goose hunters using the Goose Hunting Zones are averaging about 1.2 goose per hunt for the same period. This information is gathered from the Daily Hunt Permits provided by hunters using the card system and iSportsman.
Hunters are encouraged to use the electronic Daily Hunt Permit system. This will eventually replace the paper permits.

|Approximately 1300 ducks and 400 geese were observed on the property 20 November 2015. The vast majority of the ducks are mallards, along with 350 lesser Canadas, 50 snows, and a few honkers. The remainder is a mix of gadwall, pintail, and a few divers. There is another major cold front forecasted to sweep across the area this weekend, which may bring freeze-up conditions to the marsh.
|Mallard Migration Rank
Current rank: 3
This rank is subjective and ranges from 0 (no mallards) to 10 (peak numbers)
|Water levels
|Fair in some of the pools, but the marshes are still losing water. The Big Basin unit has been hit the hardest, and several of the pools are now dry. The marshes at the Chain of Lakes unit are 99% dry. There is still a huntable amount of water in pools 2, 3, 4, 6, 13, and 14 at the Little Sinkhole unit. The area received approximately 1 1/2" of rain last week, which helped to stabilize water levels.
|Hunting conditions
|Moist soil vegetation is good to exceptional across the area. Pondweed, annual smartweed, and barnyard grass production has been exceptional this year.
|Expected hunting success
|Fair to good.
Hunter success for this November 20th - 24th:
74 hunters reported a harvest of 55 ducks and 1 goose, for an average of 0.75 birds per hunter.
PLEASE CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT WITH EITHER THE i-SPORTSMAN PROGRAM OR PAPER DAILY PERMITS! PLEASE DO NOT USE BOTH.
MPWL is transitioning to a new daily permit system called Isportsman. Hunters will need to register prior to hunting at MPWL. Hunters will login (or call) each day prior to hunting to get a daily permit, and report back harvest similar to the paper daily permits. Please visit https://kdwpt.isportsman.net/ to register prior to hunting season.
In preparation for the transition from paper hunt permits to i-Sportsman, there has been a reduction in the number of daily hunt permit stations (also known as "Iron Rangers") on the property. Historically there have been ten daily hunt permit stations on the property; however, this year there will be five. The locations of these five permit stations are listed below.
Big Basin Marshes:
#1 – South off Mohawk Road on the driveway going to the Area Headquarters / Office
#2 – Pools 1 and 14 parking lot, at the east end of Limestone Road off 8th Avenue
Chain of Lakes Marshes:
#3 – Just south of the intersection of 9th Avenue and Frontier Road, on the west side of the unit
Little Sinkhole Marshes:
#4 – 10th Avenue, between Arapaho and Buckskin roads, at the sunflower field
#5 – Just north of the intersection of 9th Avenue and Arrowhead Road
Please plan ahead and register for i-Sportsman prior to hunting McPherson Valley Wetlands, or plan on obtaining a daily hunt permit at one of the five functional permit stations listed above.
The Little Sinkhole/Farland Lake marsh unit is included in the EARLY low-plains duck zone (as is the rest of MPWL).

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & aakk9999 & brotherhood of lan & goodroi
So what's up with the Google? Something big is going on?
It would appear we are in for an old style Google shake up. From what I've seen listed on a variety of blogs a number of long standing sites listed on the first page have been delisted or dumped way back.
I've had one site online since 1997 that had a lock on the top spot for my keywords on and off for four years on Google just go "poof", all that's left of it is two obscure pages I haven't changed since about 2001 ;~)
So far I've received nothing in the way of messages on webmaster tools, and my site went missing in action after March 16TH. I'm just going to wait it out to see if the old girl gets relisted. I've gone over the whole thing and there's nothing on the site that breaks any Google guidelines unless there is something new in the algo.
Anyone else going to sit it out before going off the deep end to once agin ask " what does Google Want?"
[edited by: tedster at 8:36 pm (utc) on April 1, 2008]
Maybe I'm losing my mind.... I was watching it do it on google.com and google.co.uk. I have sites in both places in the same industry and they were bouncing all over the place. Now it seems to have gelled up. Maybe it's moved on to a different DC now.
If I do a search on www.google.com, I'll come up #1 for many terms, which tells me that Google is watching what I search for. Probably a cookie or something, and it's probably something that's been covered in another thread. If I check the datacenters, I'm not #1 for those terms.
The idea that Google is giving lower-ranking sites a shot at the first page is an interesting one. That would explain some of the sites that have come out of nowhere.
I see a visitor on raw logs come from one search string, try it myself, and, poof, nowhere.
I am thinking there may well be a geo component involved.
PNW here. In one niche I am seeing many of the "new and odd" returns coming from west coast - including BC! The BC sites are ones that I have never seen rank in the top 50, and would only seem to have relevance if one takes into account our location.
The usual rules of thumb apply: you probably won't get a personal reply, but I'll try to get someone to check out reports that get sent in. There shouldn't be much difference between data centers, so I'm curious to find out what queries people seem to be seeing different results on.
I've had one site online since 1997 that had a lock on the top spot for my keywords on and off for four years on Google just go "poof", all that's left of it is two obscure pages I haven't changed since about 2001 ;~)
This sort of nonsense has been coming from Google for years and they just seem to get worse. They are currently sending traffic to pages that have been 404'd for over a year. I tend to agree with the other threads that are going on about how Google is just on an all out war with natural rankings and SEOs because relevant natural results really damage their bottom line. They spend more time making their PPC results relevant.
Made the decision about a year ago to push for a No.1 ranking on Yahoo/MSN (who might still become the same thing) and to push for more referral traffic. Glad I did, I'm not part of those "99% of my traffic disappeared last night" anymore. This huge swinging update has barely affected the majority of my sites.
So Google has several sets of search rankings and shows them randomly each time a search is made.
Here in the UK rankings seem to change every 2-3 days rather than every search. As far as I can tell, there are six different results/algorithms that have been rotating for the past month or so.
Still a few too many "shopping" type of sites for my liking but at least my traffic seems to be stabilising...at the moment.
There seem to be far fewer indented results with the SERPs going direct to the correct pages.
I banished the thought when I did a quick calculation as to how much revenue such a plan would have cost Google if these same banned sites had hundreds of adsense adds suddenly removed from circulation. Ah well, the joy of SEO, it's seldom boring and is always changing.....
I've sent in several spam/feedback reports on this, but nothing's changed. Since these sites are useless for users in Canada and the US I'm not sure why Google brought them back.
Just wanted to bring it to your attention!
I banished the thought when I did a quick calculation as to how much revenue such a plan would have cost Google if these same banned sites had hundreds of adsense adds suddenly removed from circulation
The made-for-adsense spam sites are all ranking just fine. Google's efforts are to fight good SEO, not bad SEO as bad SEO generally has to rely on Adsense for revenue. Good SEOs work on sites that can actually move to an Adwords model should their rankings be snatched away. That's why they had the big clamp down on paid links - people were paying to boost their natural rankings which had a better ROI than Adwords.
I might sound harsh on Google so just in case people think I'm ranting because I've been dropped, I haven't. My rankings are just fine and on the variant datacenters I show increases for nearly all my sites. I did lose a couple of places last month after removing Adsense from some of the inner pages of a site but that's it.
We had this No.1 spot since years with loads of selfproduced, expensive, exclusive content that has earned tons of organic inbound links from odp, yahoo etc.
Of course it is acceptable that other real content sites may take over that spot, fair enough. But now a few bucks for a domain and some freehost are enough to sink some of the top media brands.
Perhaps time to say bye to content production.
Such stuff leaves now the ultimate content and authority site with even wiki inbound + loads of related relevant inbounds behind.
The nice thing is, that i know the story behind that newly successful site which had been somewhere well deserved around 100 before due to loads of errors and not much relevant info.
From a Google point of view: The owner of that new top 10 site spends a lot on adwords.
Would be great to see this among Google case studies :-)

January 10, 2011
Colo. QB benefits from exposure
Tom Bergeron
SAN ANTONIO - It's pretty much the standard line at events such as this one: "It's always good to measure yourself against tougher competition and see how you stand against guys from other states."
The U.S. Army National Combine attracts some of the best high school juniors in the country - many of whom come from the top football states in the country, including the big three of Florida, Texas and California.
Miles, however, comes from Colorado, which is a mid-level state in terms of team talent. (RivalsHigh had it No. 24 in
our annual rankings).
His school - the now three-time defending Class 5A champion - is the dominant team. Some would say the only dominant team.
Heck, Miles himself isn't afraid to say it.
"No one in the state can compete with us," he said. "We lost a lot of seniors, but at a school like Mullen there are always kids ready to step up and take their place."
Such locker-room wall talk is unusual. Of course, so is Mullen, which has little trouble backing it up.
Mullen, which went 14-0 and finished No. 16 in the final RivalsHigh Top 100 rankings, has a 33-game winning streak and is 40-2 the past three seasons.
Scheduling issues, however, prevent it from measuring itself against other Rocky Mountain area powers, such as South Jordan (Utah) Bingham or Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman. Simply put, locked-in games make it hard for Colorado teams to face out-of-state opponents.
"It would be great to get a chance to play against teams from other states," he said. "The games probably would be closer and more exciting and we'd probably get more credit."
Miles could benefit personally, too.
While he is considered a top quarterback prospect for the Class of 2012 and already has offers from Colorado and Cal and plenty of interest from other big-time schools, Miles is judged mainly on the potential and polish he shows at elite camps.
Not that he doesn't have the numbers.
Miles threw for over 2,000 yards with 20 TDs and just two interceptions while completing over 70 percent of his passes. He also ran for six TDs.
The trouble is, his playing time - or at least his number of passing attempts - was limited because his team was often so far ahead thanks to a defense that allowed just 89 points all season.
Miles showed his stuff at the national combine, zipping passes in 1-on-1 drills that many of the other quarterbacks struggled to make.
With him behind center, Mullen will start the year as the top team in Colorado and among the Top 100 nationally. Not that Miles will get the chance to go up against any of them.
"We can't control who we play, we just have to play who is on the schedule and make sure we do what we have to do," he said. "Next year, that's go for four in a row."

Is athlete endorsement money drying up? Ever since Tiger Woods split with GM last week, there is concern among super-wealthy athletes that they might have to start settling for earning just the millions they get for playing their sport. The horror.
But the economic troubles are not just hitting the endorsement market. With the NBA and NFL collective bargaining agreements up for renewal in the next couple of years, one sports consultant is saying that players associations are going to need a "dose of reality" or face not having a league to play in anymore.
The best info in this story by the AP's Eddie Pells (by way of NBCSPORTS.COM) is buried on page 2, where sports consultant Marc Ganis says that athletes have to come to terms with the ramifications of a bad economy:
"There's a reasonable chance the NBA and NFL are going to have periods of time when their sports are not playing, unless their players associations get a serious dose of reality," Ganis said. "Owners have decided that continual exponential growth in cheap and available credit are both history, and that they're not going to accept a generally break-even proposition while paying players extraordinary amounts they're paid."
Ganis says that the auto industry pumps so much money into the sports economy that it will be difficult to find a suitable replacement for those dollars. NASCAR is one sport that will feel this, since the sport is, you know, about cars. But NASCAR is putting on a brave face, while also reminding everyone that GM is still on board with them:
"I've been told directly by each of the companies having challenging times that one of the things that works best for them is NASCAR," chairman Brian France said earlier this month.
That said, France also is on record as saying NASCAR could survive without all the manufacturers.
GM still has deals with 12 of the 22 Sprint Cup tracks.
As for endorsements, one agent is saying that the whole up-and-down stock market thing is getting out of hand:
"You've just got to be much more creative," said Evan Morgenstein, an agent for gymnast Nastia Liukin, swimmer Dara Torres and other Olympic athletes.
Morgenstein says sponsors have become so fidgety that his phone actually rings more on days the stock market is doing well, less when it's not.
"I think for the first and second quarter of 2009, it's going to be tenuous at best," he said. "It's more about cold calling, contacting people, pitching ideas. There's some stuff that may not actually close, but we've got to look at this as building for the next four years."
Cold calling? Pitching ideas? You mean, sports agents might actually have to do their job?

Summer Camp
Leadership Camp for Teens
Longacre uses the summer to prepare ambitious teenagers for long term success. Our 41st summer. Ages 8-18. PA, US.
We develop leadership using four pillars: decision-making, responsibility, passion and direct communication — all during a summer full of fun and friendship.
Lots of learning happens here — but no academic-like instruction. Instead, think of it like this: the Longacre experience is a series of opportunities. The inherent flexibility means high-achieving students like yours can advance as fast as they want.
Students here are taking responsibility and developing new skills. Responsibility helps new students to feel included quickly.
Longacre is a student-driven program. This means that older, returning students in our Leadership Project set the pace.
Our campers are practicing direct communication. Four nights a week we gather together to reflect on the day.
Successful college students manage their independence responsibly. As a teenager, the earlier you practice your independence, the better. Here you will have more independence.
Longacre is college prep. We prepare students to get into college the old-fashioned way: by preparing them for success in college.
The answer is, it depends. It depends on whether the culture at the camp is growth-oriented.
There are three activity periods: morning, afternoon and evening. Each period you'll have 8-12 options.
It's important to understand, you won't always get your first choice. We think about how our actions affect other people. Sometimes you'll put your needs aside so your friend can get what she wants.

From Makeshift to Wow: Our New Media Centers
Anderson, Mary Alice, Multimedia & Internet@Schools
STUDENTS in our district are benefiting from new or renovated media centers in four of our nine schools, a significant part of our district's renewed emphasis on facilities improvements. The district opened two entirely new secondary media center constructions in 2000 and 2006; this summer a new elementary media center opened in completely renovated spaces and another relocated to improved spaces in former classrooms. In this column, we'll look at features that enhance the functionality and educational environment of these long overdue new facilities.
Before 2000 the middle school was housed in two 1920s-era buildings, separated by a street. The media center occupied a former auditorium; the computer lab was on the stage. The high school media center had long ago ceased to serve today's needs, just barely functioning in a two-level 1970s-era facility. The elementary media centers were make-shift, operating in halls, adjacent classrooms, and a former windowless movie projection room.
Creating a welcoming educational environment that will draw today's learners was No. 1 on our planning lists. Bistro seating and ample soft seating facing a 50' glass wall that provides a generous view of a lake and hills are the "Wow!" factor at our new high school media center. Hardwood flooring and curves add to the appeal of this area. It's "the" spot for students who want to relax with a magazine, read a novel from the adjacent teen-lit section, or use a laptop. As an added eye-catcher, teen-lit books are shelved face out. The initial building remodeling plans gave district administration the view, but concerned citizens spoke up and 1,300 students are now enjoying the view and ambiance. Contemporary metal chairs, a mottled green carpet, and laminate-top tables throughout add a modern feel appealing to teens.
High ceilings, chandelier-style lights, and purple countertops contribute to the "Wow!" factor in the middle school media center that opened in 2000. The media center is truly in the center of the school, with ample lower and upper internal windows bringing in light. Large display cases with glass on interior and exterior sides help provide a connection to the commons. Windows in two labs also add light and enable people passing by to see in, an idea hatched by a former superintendent who wanted school visitors to see "kids using technology." Additional windows bring light into interior spaces while also providing visibility into the main part of the media center. The spaces do not feel claustrophobic even though there are no outside walls. Brick support pillars with limestone tiles depicting our town of Winona add design interest.
An angled entry with glass walls invites 300 students at Washington-Kosciusko Elementary into a spacious L-shaped media center opening this month in spaces occupying former classrooms and hallways. (See Figure 1 on page 36.) Architects are often cautious about the additional costs of angles, but this angled entry cost little and adds considerable punch. It creates a true foyer with space for displays, a professional collection and comfy seating from wasted hall space. The L's long side includes a lab, conference room, and area for the upper grade fiction and nonfiction collections. The L's short side holds the checkout desk, two storage areas, and a primary resources room with a reading corner. The new spaces can accommodate three classes and have a much more open feel than we imagined when we learned the load-bearing walls could not be removed entirely. The remaining supports help provide the distinct spaces that teachers desired and nooks for display.
Another remodeling surprise at the elementary school was the ability to fill in a stairway well; that space is now used for the conference/collaborative group room. Huge windows on three outside walls provide abundant natural light. Strategically placed internal windows enhance visibility into all areas from the foyer and circulation desk. …
