text: Nice location on the market square with a big terrace. The food was basic but good and reasonably priced. Service goes up and down, personnel is friendly but you need to call them several times (e.g. they forgot the bread, it took 2 reminders, another e.g. waiting 15 minutes after we asked the bill...)

BOSTON — James "Whitey" Bulger's defense team released photographs showing the reputed Boston gangster's softer side — including images of him cuddling with animals — a possible prelude to him taking the stand in his racketeering trial.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Wyshak complained to the judge that Bulger's lawyers are merely trying to bolster his image after weeks of testimony from prosecution witnesses who described killings and extortions he is accused of committing.
The photos show Bulger holding dogs, a parrot and even a goat. Others show him with his longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig, and one appears to show him on vacation, smiling, shirtless and sitting on a wall overlooking the ocean.
"This is obviously an attempt to salvage Mr. Bulger's public reputation by publishing dozens of photos with him holding all sorts of animals," Wyshak said. "I don't know if being an animal lover is going to salvage his reputation."
One photo that likely won't help Bulger's defense shows him sitting with a priest who was identified Thursday as Monsignor Frederick Ryan, the former vice chancellor of the Boston archdiocese who was defrocked for allegedly sexually abusing teenage boys in the 1980s.
Boston lawyer Mitchell Garabedian, who sued the archdiocese on behalf of two men who said they were abused by Ryan as teens, said one of his clients and a man who used to work with Ryan both identified the priest as Ryan after seeing the photo published in The Boston Globe.
Bulger, 83, is charged in a racketeering indictment with playing a role in 19 killings and multiple extortions during the 1970s and '80s when he allegedly led the Winter Hill Gang.
Prosecutors on Thursday continued to complain that defense lawyers still have not said whether Bulger will take the stand.
J.W. Carney Jr., one of Bulger's attorneys, said the defense plans to present two witnesses Friday and to read to the jury portions of a deposition from the mother of one of Bulger's alleged murder victims. He stayed mum on whether or not Bulger will testify.
Wyshak told the court the photos, which the defense filed to an electronic docket accessible to the public and media, could only be authenticated if Bulger planned to take the stand.
Carney, however, said he filed them in response to a request from prosecutors to see any exhibits they might use if Bulger does testify.
Judge Denise Casper said she interpreted the photos "to be in anticipation of Mr. Bulger possibly taking the stand."
Wyshak said he believes the defense released the photos to try to circumvent the judge's order that attorneys on both sides follow a local rule that limits what they can say to the media during a trial. But Casper said she did not see the filing of the photos as violating her order.
In testimony Thursday, former FBI agent Matthew Cronin said he warned his superiors at the FBI in 1982 that a Bulger associate, Edward "Brian" Halloran, was in danger of being killed.
The defense called Cronin to suggest that it was Bulger's associate Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, not the defendant, who wanted to kill Halloran.
Cronin said a woman told him that Flemmi had found out that Halloran was providing information to authorities about the Bulger gang's alleged involvement in a 1981 killing.
Cronin said that despite repeated meetings he had with FBI supervisors, nothing was done and Halloran was shot to death in May 1982. Bulger is accused of fatally shooting Halloran and Michael Donahue, an innocent bystander who had offered Halloran a ride home that night.

Planes and a ship scrambled Sunday to find a pallet and other debris in a remote patch of the southern Indian Ocean to determine whether the objects were from the Malaysia Airlines jet that has been missing for more than two weeks.
The pallet was spotted by a search plane Saturday, but has not been closely examined. Wooden pallets are commonly used in shipping, but can also be used on planes.
It is the latest in a series of clues experts and searchers are trying to run down to solve the mystery of what happened to Flight 370 when it disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.
Mike Barton, chief of Australian Maritime Safety Authority's rescue coordination center, told reporters in Canberra, Australia, that the wooden pallet spotted by a civilian search aircraft was surrounded by several other nondescript objects, including what appeared to be strapping belts of different colors and lengths.
It was not immediately known if any pallets were used on Flight 370.
A New Zealand Orion P3 plane tried to find it, but failed, Barton said.
"So, we've gone back to that area again today to try and re-find it," he said. A merchant ship also was sent to try to identify the material.
"We went to some of the expert airlines and the use of wooden pallets is quite common in the industry," Barton said. "They're usually packed into another container which is loaded in the belly of the aircraft. ... It's a possible lead, but we will need to be very certain that this is a pallet because pallets are used in the shipping industry as well," he said.
Search planes - eight of them were in the air Sunday - are scouring an area about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, Australia. Satellite images, the most recent released by China on Saturday, have showed large objects floating in the area that experts want to check to see if they came from the jetliner.
Air and sea searches since Thursday have not produced any results.
John Young, manager of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's emergency response division, said Sunday's search was mainly relying on human eyes.
"Today is really a visual search again, and visual searches take some time. They can be difficult," he said.
Barton said while the weather was not as good at the start of the day with sea fog and low cloud, it was clearing up later Sunday.
Despite the frustrating lack of answers, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was upbeat.
"Obviously we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope - no more than hope, no more than hope - that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen to this ill-fated aircraft," Abbott told reporters in Papua New Guinea.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said it had refined the search based on the latest clue from the Chinese satellite showing an object that appeared to be 22 meters (72 feet) by 13 meters (43 feet). It said the object's position also fell within Saturday's search area but it had not been sighted.
Sunday's search has been split into two areas within the same proximity covering 59,000 square kilometers. These areas have been determined by drift modelling, the AMSA said.
Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein put a message on his Twitter account Sunday asking those in churches around the country to offer a "prayer please" for the passengers and crew on Fight 370.
More than 300 Malaysian cycling enthusiasts rode their bikes to the Kuala Lumpur airport to remember the people onboard the jet. The cyclists decorated the bikes with small Malaysian flags and stickers that read "Pray for MH370."
The latest satellite image is another clue in the baffling search for Flight 370, which dropped off air traffic control screens March 8 over the Gulf of Thailand with 239 people on board.
"China hopes that these data will be helpful for searching and rescuing efforts," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement.
The missing plane, which had been bound for Beijing, carried 153 Chinese passengers.
After about a week of confusion, Malaysian authorities said pings sent by the Boeing 777-200 for several hours after it disappeared indicated that the plane ended up in one of two huge arcs: a northern corridor stretching from Malaysia to Central Asia, or a southern corridor that stretches toward Antarctica.
The discovery of the initial two objects by a satellite led several countries to send planes and ships to a stretch of the ocean southwest of Australia.
Two military planes from China have arrived in Perth, and the AMSA said they would join the search on Monday. They join Australian, New Zealand and US aircraft. Japanese planes are also expected soon.
Because the search area is a four-hour flight from land, some of the planes can search for about only two hours before they must fly back. Others may be able to stay for up to five hours before heading back to the base.
Malaysian authorities have not ruled out any possible explanation for what happened to the jet, but have said the evidence so far suggests it was deliberately turned back across Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca, with its communications systems disabled. They are unsure what happened next.
Police are considering the possibilities of hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or anyone else on board.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than one in three middle school students are using mobile devices to complete homework, and more of those who use these devices for learning in the classroom express a strong interest in science, technology and math than those who do not, according to a new national survey.
The survey, conducted by TRU and commissioned by the Verizon Foundation, also found that more than 66 percent of students are not allowed to use a tablet for learning purposes in the classroom, and 88 percent are not allowed to use a smartphone.
The findings highlight the gap that exists between how children want to learn and the restrictions they face in the classroom due to a variety of factors that the Verizon Foundation and other national organizations concerned with increasing student access to mobile technology for learning are working to address.
"Our research supports the fact that mobile technology can inspire and engage students today," said Rose Stuckey Kirk, president of the Verizon Foundation. "We need to meet children where they are and leverage their use of mobile devices to increase their interest in STEM – especially since STEM jobs are increasing at three times the rate of jobs in other fields, and the number of graduates in the US earning degrees in STEM is decreasing."
Other key findings of the survey include:
- For the first time, the survey's respondents indicated that they were using mobile devices for homework. In previous surveys, the respondents said they were using the devices largely for entertainment and to keep in touch with others.
- More Hispanic (49 percent) and African-American (42 percent) middle school students are using their smartphones for homework than Caucasian students (36 percent).
- Smartphone use for homework also crosses income levels, with 29 percent of the students from the lowest-income households reporting smartphone usage to do their homework assignments.
The full report of the survey results can be found at www.thinkfinity.org/docs/DOC-10549.
Transforming STEM Education Through Technology
To tap into students' interest in mobile technology as a tool for learning, the Technology Student Association and the Verizon Foundation partnered to launch the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. This national student competition encourages middle and high school students, working in teams with a faculty advisor, to conceptualize a mobile application that incorporates STEM and addresses a real problem or issue in their schools or communities.
Ten winning teams – five from middle schools and five from high schools – will be selected. These team members and their advisors will receive in-person, hands-on training and ongoing virtual support from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Mobile Learning at the Media Lab to help build their apps using MIT's App Inventor and bring them to the marketplace. Winning team members will also receive Samsung Galaxy Tabs and their schools will receive $10,000 cash grants from the Verizon Foundation to enhance STEM education.

Survey Methodology
Verizon Foundation commissioned TRU to conduct quantitative research on middle school students' use of technology. TRU conducted 1,000 online interviews among sixth- to eighth-grade students, ages 11-14, yielding a margin of error of + 3.0 percentage points. The interviews were conducted from Oct. 4 through Oct. 12, 2012. The sample of 1,000 students was broken out as follows: 332 sixth graders (166 males and 166 females); 332 seventh graders (166 males and 166 females); and 336 eighth graders (167 males and 169 females). A quota was also set to ensure a minimum of 200 respondents with a household income of $25,000 or less. The final total for this quota is n=273. Unless otherwise noted, all reported data is based on a statistically reliable base size of n=100 or greater.

Melissa Etheridge: I Met Donald Trump At A Gay Wedding
NY Senate Candidate Pledges To Remove Images Of Gay Couples From School Textbooks
Robert Gant Hopes For 'Queer As Folk' Revival
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on
Monday criticized passage of a Nigerian law which outlaws gay
"The United States is deeply
concerned by Nigeria's enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition
Act," Kerry said in a statement emailed to On Top Magazine.
A spokesman for President Goodluck
Jonathan confirmed
to reporters on Monday that Nigeria's president had signed the
bill into law.
"I can confirm that the president has
signed the bill into law," Reuben Abatim said, adding that it
happened in the last two weeks.
"More than 90 percent of Nigerians
are opposed to same-sex marriage. So, the law is in line with our
cultural and religious beliefs as a people," he added.
The law not only prohibits the state
from recognizing the relationships of gay couples, it also mandates a
14 year prison sentence for anyone who enters a same-sex marriage or
civil union.
The law also prohibits the public
promotion of gay rights and outlaws gay clubs and organizations.
Violators face up to 10 years in prison.
"Beyond even prohibiting same sex
marriage, this law dangerously restricts freedom of assembly,
association and expression for all Nigerians," Kerry said.
"Moreover, it is inconsistent with Nigeria's international legal
obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights
protections enshrined in its 1999 Constitution."
"People everywhere deserve to live in
freedom and equality. No one should face violence or discrimination
for who they are or who they love," Kerry added.

Have you heard about unikernels? A unikernel, or cloud operating system, as it has also been called, is a specialized lightweight operating system intended to be used within a virtual machine. Unikernels have the potential to become the core of a new form of cloud computing in which a single hypervisor instance can support hundreds or even thousands of virtual machines. A rethinking of how we populate the cloud infrastructure, the unikernel is a specialized, single-address-space virtual machine image constructed by using a virtual library operating system.
SDDC & Hybrid Cloud
Cloud computing has evolved from focusing only on how to construct, secure, manage, monitor, and utilize IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS clouds. As the paradigm matures, it is moving from a pure resource management paradigm to a data and resource management paradigm. (Read More)
SDDC is the next evolution in on-site data center technology. It has taken the knowledge gained from the server virtualization revolution and blended it with software-defined storage and networking to create a data center defined and managed by software running on invisible hardware.
Hybrid Cloud covers the technologies and operational processes, both technical and business, for deploying, consuming, and utilizing this paradigm.
Major areas of focus include barriers to adoption; progress on the part of vendors in removing those barriers; where the lines of responsibility are drawn between the cloud vendor and the customer for IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and hybrid clouds; and management tools that are essential to deploying and managing the cloud, ensuring its security and the performance of applications.
Oracle v. Google: The Next Chapter
March to the Cloud—Or Not?
Cloud this, cloud that…it seems that the cloud will heal all your woes. But will it really? Some vendors are using the term "cloud" to signify various services, such Software as a Service (SaaS), private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, and more. With so many clouds, how can you be sure that you're getting the right cloud for you or whether you even need a cloud?
What Cost for Your IoT Data?
How much is your data worth? How much does it cost to store your data? I doubt that you have numbers for either of these things. But maybe it is time to start thinking carefully about both of these numbers. If the cost of storing your data exceeds its value, then you probably shouldn't be storing the data. The trigger for this thought is the oncoming Internet of Things (IoT) data tsunami. A few guestimates I've seen suggest that we will see around 50 Zettabytes (ZB) of data generated in the next five years. That is 50 Million Terabytes. One place to store 50ZB of data is on AWS's cheapest storage, Glacier. At the cheapest published price for Glacier, your monthly bill would be over half a billion dollars. I wonder whether knowing the temperature inside my refrigerator every minute of the day is worth that much money.
Abstraction Is the Future
The IT industry is abstracting everything it can, from hardware, to networking, to storage and more. "Abstract and build an API, and the world becomes better" seems to be the motto. Abstraction has become the goal of many subsystems. Many people seem to believe that if you move everything to software, everything will be better—and that if you use the API, things will move faster. This is all true, up to a point. Abstraction is a good thing, and we are now seeing levels of abstraction even within the hardware itself. This is also a good thing.
Make vSphere Free. Can VMware Sell Only Support?
Last month, I suggested that VMware could help itself and its customers by opening up. How about if it transformed completely? Could VMware survive if vSphere were free and it only charged for support? What if VMware embraced the idea that hypervisors are a commodity and focused on revenue from management and automation products? What if vSphere didn't have a lot of different editions?

Last Modified: Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 11:26 a.m.
A few days ago articles appeared in the Courier and Comet that took issue with my position on the health care debate. Differences of opinion are welcome and healthy for our society.
One of the articles, written by Judy Quinilty, did an issue by issue dissection of an article I had recently submitted and discussed all of the errors she felt I had made.
Mrs. Quinilty might find it of interest that I do my best to be as accurate as possible in everything that I write. My recent paper was written after reading hundreds of pages of pertinent information taken from books, periodicals, newspaper articles and multiple other sources. I have prepared a response to Mrs. Quinilty's comments and will post it on the internet where anyone interested in my documentation of this matter can decide on who is being accurate in their comments.
I would like to commend the editorial staff of both of the The Courier and the Daily Comet for carrying these and other expressions of opinion. It is a great service to our community and allows the public to read various opinions on issues of importance to us all.
My web site address that contains my response to Mrs. Quinilty is: http://web.me.com/docmikerobi/Site_2/Welcome.html

Question: Low light performance comparison between the SX40HS and the SX50HS

Question: Low light performance comparison between the SX40HS and the SX50HS
Oct 30, 2012
I just received the SX40 from Amazon, today, and am seriously thinking about returning it in favor of the SX50.
The only reservation I really have, is the higher minimum aperature of the SX50. Some reviewers on Amazon agree that compared to the SX40, the SX50 is much harder to use in low light situations. One even goes so far as to say that because of this, the camera really isn't a good all-around camera, but should only be considered a specialty tool for birders and other wildlife photographers.
Can anyone here confirm or deny this?

Nisbet Plantation Management
Report Abuse
Somone here indicated that Bev and Wally were back at Neridian Club.
I checked the Meridian site and it seems they are there now.
It is most definitely a loss for Nisbet Plantation, as they (IMHO) helped to set a wonderful, friendly tone at Nisbet.
Report Abuse
Marion is correct, they are already at Meridian Club.
Report Abuse
Wow, that was a fast departure (although I don't know when they gace their notice) I wonder what happened?
Report Abuse
I have friends staying at Nisbet next month. Do you think this will have any effect on their experience?
Report Abuse
I'm wondering the same as we're going in June...
Report Abuse
I would imagine that the magic of Nisbet will remain intact. Most staff members have been there for years, long before the tenure of Bev and Wally.
I came to know Bev and Wally quite well during my stay last summer and I would personally miss them.
The owner, who also owns The Reefs in Bermuda, surely has chosen worthy new managers.
I'm sure the wonderful *vibe* of Nisbet, the amazing food and the rest of management staff will continue to insure the warmth of the Nisbet experience.
Report Abuse
Hi, we were just there two weeks ago, it was our first visit so can't really compare. The new general managers are Erin and Glenn (sorry did not get their last names) a young married couple who seemed very nice. All the staff there are just fantastic, particularly Patterson and Steve, we enjoyed chatting with everyone. We very much enjoyed our visit, our only complaint was that there were too many children, which was completely unexpected (we left ours at home)since I visited the resort on a day trip last year the very same holiday week and didn't see one child -- one of the reasons we decided to return. There were 15-20 children ranging from infant through teens, just too many for the size of the resort and there aren't really a lot of special kids activities. The staff told me it was the largest number they've had at the same time -- it was the week of Easter and there were several extended family groups. We hope to return during a quieter week!
Report Abuse
Bev & Wally Plachta didn't last too long as managers (less than 2 years if my memory is right). Their predecessors (Kathy & Don Johnson) were there for quite a while (8 to 10 years) and are the ones who really set the tone for the resort and trained the staff. They used to manage the Reefs in Bermuda before moving to Nevis. Most of the staff at Nisbet have been at the resort for years so I doubt any guests would actually notice anything different in their overall experience.
Patterson is a gem as are Leon, Steve, Dan, Alison, Violet and Roslyn.
Report Abuse
Thanks Marion, Eileen, and A_Traveller for your reassurances and information.
How can a week at Nisbet not be great!
Report Abuse
Thanks for your replies-I was apprehensive that there would be tension in the arrive for our trip in June as the departure did seem abrupt. I'm sure the long-time staff will be great.
Report Abuse
We are off to the Nisbet at the beginning of May & have heard lots of good reports. We are really looking forward to our holiday. Does anyone have any must do's in Nevis?
Report Abuse
Definitely go around the island and sightsee, either by taxi or by rental car.
We stay at the Hermitage and we had two dinners off-site at Montpelier and at Double Deuce (at the end of Pinney's Beach). We had good lunches at Oualie Beach, Double Deuce (again), NIsbet, and Chevy's, which is near the Four Seasons.
There is a catamaran trip to St. Kitts, which stops for lunch and snorkeling, if that is of interest to you.
There are rainforest and volcanoes walks as well. See www.walknevis.com for information.
You can always take the ferry to St. Kitts, grab a taxi and go to Brimstone Hill, and then walk around Basseterre, or go to a beach on the Southern Peninsula.
Lots of things to do, if you want--sometimes it's hard to get out of the beach chair!
Report Abuse
I can't see that their departure will have much of an effect on Nisbet.
We only spoke to Bev and Wally to say "Hello" as we were passing, we didn't have a conversation with them - we found Steve and Patterson to be the ambassadors for the resort and spoke to them everyday.
Roslyn was my favorite and I'm looking forward to seeing her again in June.
If the staff remains the same then I would have no qualms staying at the resort again.
I'll let you know in July
Report Abuse
Isn't it funny how we equate a small resort with the idea that there will be few children? Especially when they don't offer any child activities?
I don't object to children as such (I have 3) but when I'm away on my own with my DH the slighest shriek from a small child sets my nerves on end.
Luckily while we were at Nisbet there were very few children with responsible parents who were very aware that most people wat the resort were couples without children and didn't want to listen to their "little darlings".
It's not nice to have to listen to someone else's screaming child (it really doesn't matter how 'cute' the parents think he/she is)when you are on a romantic break without your own "little darlings".
I do like the fact that Nisbet wants children under 8 to eat dinner at 6pm - to my mind, children under 8 shouldn't be eating later than 6 anyway.
Have you tried Bucuti Beach on Aruba? they seem to be phasing out their children allowed policy.
Report Abuse
rereading this I probably should have said
"there were very few children AND THEY WERE TRAVELING with responsible parents"
Report Abuse
Thanks CW & I know what you mean about the problem of tearing yourself away from the beach! Is the trip to Montserrat better undertaken from Nevis or antigua? Thank you for your help
Report Abuse
Do you mean Montserrat or St. Kitts?
To get to Montserrat you'd have to go from Antigua, I believe.
St. Kitts and Nevis are close and connected by a ferry boats, and water shuttles (more expensive). The ferry ride is about 45 minutes to an hour, and it's quite enjoyable to see both islands from the water.
Report Abuse
I did mean Montserrat, but as we are spending the week after Nevis in Antigua, it will probably be best to fly from there. Do you think the trip to st Kitts is worth it & what should we see when there for a day? Thanks for your reply
Report Abuse
I think it's worth it to take a day trip to St. Kitts. You can take the ferry from Charlestown and be in Basseterre in about 45 minutes. Check the ferry schedule when you get on island, because it can vary a little from day to day.
You can hire a local taxi to give you an island tour or a partial island tour. The can't miss site on St. Kitts is the Brimstone Hill Fortress.
A trip down to the Southeast peninsula will also give you fabulous views and lunch on the beach--at the end of the island is Turtle Beach restaurant, or you could go to South Friar's beach where there are a few beach bars, including Shipwreck.
If you lunch in town, Ballahoo at the Circus (the main intersection of the town streets) is good for people watching. It's on the second floor above the Island Hopper store.
Enjoy your trip!
Report Abuse
Thanks CW, will take your advice & go & see St Kitts, I have printed off your suggestions & will put them in the file! We look forward to staying at the Nisbet & seeing the islands.
Report Abuse
DianeC, if you rent a car for the week while in Nevis, then be sure to rent from one of the agencies that allows free use of a car in St. Kitts. You park your car at the ferry dock (I think the one we used was Thrifty, but it also has a local name), and at the St. Kitts end, walk a few blocks to the local office there. We did just the route that cw recommends, circling the island stopping at Brimstone Hill (you can see Statia on Statia if a clear day . Also, Turtle Beach and don't forget a stop at Caribelle Batik for beautiful handmade batik items.

Kenton International- Kitchens- Baths & More - Lower Burrell, PA - Phone: (724) 335-3166
Building materials are primarily of two types; natural and artificial or man-made. Natural materials are available in plenty in and around Lower Burrell. One needs to be quite sure about the production of any particular material. Based on high demand of any material at any particular place, the rate might be cheap. However, man-made materials are more or less of same price at almost all places in Lower Burrell. The supply of building materials is done not only within that specific area but is also sometimes imported. It requires a great deal of human labor to produce and supply material apart from the natural materials, especially in large quantity requirement for building industries.

If you're building a new Web site or restructuring or redesigning your current site, listen up. I'm here to tell you about a simple way to build your Web site so it speaks to both your users and the search engines.
The New-Site Trap
Many people are so excited at the prospect of a new site design and a new look and feel that they forget the fundamental piece of the puzzle: content. Content is what feeds your users and the search engines. Content is what they come to your site for. Pretty pictures and animation are great, but actual content, and how it's structured, organized, and presented, is what really makes or breaks a site.
The key to effective content is to take a consumer-centric approach, building a site around users' information needs. If you want your site to truly satisfy your audience, it's essential to develop content with your audience's motivations and interests in mind. By uncovering your audience's key topics of interest, you can create content areas that reflect those instead of guessing what they might be. Further, by understanding the language your audience utilizes, you can begin to more easily employ user-centric language on your site.
Ask yourself, "What are they searching for?" Answer this, and you'll serve up a Web site that meets your users' needs. And a site that meets its audience's needs is a successful one, almost without exception.
Information Architecture and Keyword Research
How do you figure out what your audience is searching for: Interview the sales team? Conduct a statistically significant survey among your target market? Pay for a session with the local seer?
None of the above.
To answer this question, simply look at users' past search behavior. In the world of SEO (define), this process is most often referred to as keyword research.
If you've ever performed SEO, you understand the importance of thorough keyword research. Keywords are the basis upon which SEO is conducted, and knowing which ones have the best opportunity to garner results is a tricky and time-consuming task.
Usually, keyword research is performed on a specific site page to determine which terms to optimize that page for. I recommend keyword research before your site is built to help determine what information is most desired by your audience and what content you'll ultimately put on your site. This research will feed into your site's IA (define), basically a hierarchical road map of all the site content: what it is, how it's organized, where it will appear on the site, and how your users will navigate to it. The process of undertaking keyword research to this end is what I like to call a consumer search behavior initiative.
Conducting the Initiative
The simplified steps in a consumer search behaviour initiative are:
- Undertake keyword research on the various areas related to your Web site topic to uncover exactly what people search for.
- Document and organize these findings in an easy-to-use format (spreadsheets are great).
- Work with your information architect or user experience specialist to build an IA around the key themes that emerge from the research.
- Write site copy with the keywords you uncover at top of mind.
This approach ensures that your site consists of content your audience actually searches for and that the copy is written in a way to employ the most frequently searched queries in any content area.
Around the topic of real estate in Toronto, for example, new home-seekers may be searching using the following variations of terms:
Keyword research helps determine which of these terms your audience most frequently uses, so you can then employ the specific term within the Web site. This increases relevance for your users and ensures your site employs keywords that will reap significant search volume.
By creating content that's closely aligned with consumer search behavior, you'll make not only your users happy but also the search engines due to enhanced relevancy. Clearly, building a site with the way people search in mind is a great first step to building a foundation for a search-engine-friendly Web site. And accomplishing this will ultimately enhance the ability of your site to be found and accessed by your audience.

Security issues online hit the news every day. How do you keep yourself and your web projects from becoming a victim of poor security measures? In this month's Web414 meeting you will learn security issues and best practices that Developers, Sysadmins, or anyone working with the web should be aware of.
The format will start with short talks by four professionals working directly with security issues. Following their short presentations they will be available in a Panel-style Q&A discussion.
Dan Walters and dc414 will be showing off and describing the Wall of Sheep, a demonstration of poor internet security. Described as "This comes straight from the DEFCON event where users can pluginto a switch and passively sniff any traffic on the local network. From there, users submit insecure credentials going against the wire to the Wall of Sheep. This is essentially a list of usernames and passwords (passwords would be masked) and shown to the public. It's a demonstration meant to educate and provoke security online."
