However, Edwards isn't sure when that decision will be made.
"I should know more Monday," the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Edwards said.
That is because Edwards will have returned from his official visit to Miami, which comes two weeks after he traveled to Florida State for an official visit.
It will be Edwards' first trip to Coral Cables, Fla., and comes after Hurricanes coach Al Golden and Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher had in-home visits with Edwards on the same day.
"I want to meet the rest of the coaching staff at Miami," Edwards said. "This is going to be my first time there and I want to see the campus and the classrooms, and what the players are like and things like. The coaches tell me I'm really going to like."
The visit to Miami comes after Golden made an impressive home visit last week.
"He came in with a game plan," Edwards said. "He told me a lot about the program and where they were heading. It was a good first-time meeting."
Edwards also said his home visit with Fisher went well.
"It was my father's first time meeting him so he was excited to see him," Edwards said. "He had an opportunity to see what he had to offer and build a relationship with him."
Edwards is not naming a leader from the two.

Martin Luther Quotes About WaterQuotes about: Water
[Christ's] mission and work it is to help against sin and death, to justify and bring life. He has placed his help in baptism and the Sacrament [i.e., communion/Eucharist/Lord's supper], and incorporated it in the Word and preaching. To our eyes Baptism [capitalized in original] appears to be nothing more than ordinary water, and the Sacrament of Christ's body and blood simple bread and wine, like other bread and wine, and the sermon, hot air from a man's mouth. But we must not trust what our eyes see.
I [i.e., God] have given you baptism as a gift for the forgiveness of sins, and preach to you unceasingly by word of mouth concerning this treasure, sealing it with the Sacrament of my body and blood, so that you need never doubt. True, it seems little and insignificant that by the washing of water, the Word, and the Sacrament this should all be effected. But don't let your eyes deceive you.

Has anyone here seen Charlie?
Hi there, I'm Dixie Dawg, the black Labrador and I work here at Smart Ideas Design; well I don't work really, I lie there snoozing all day having had my morning walk only getting off my bed for the occasional apple core that is offered – any food is good food as far as I'm concerned – I am a Labrador after all! Oh I also get off my bed for a wee wee but as you can see below… I don't always make it but that's not my fault….
So getting back to the point in question, has anyone seen Charlie? He's such a cheeky young snapper, he's only 4 and he's so naughty sometimes with lots of cheek. I have to keep him in order I can tell you! Here he is here on the right sharing my bed!!! I'm not happy I can tell you!
The peeps here at Smart Ideas thought it would be a really good idea to talk about mine and Charlies adventures, so they decided to capture it in a comic strip which has been launched in the February issue of Smart Talk.

The relationship between branding and design
Is your brand killing your business?
We recently exhibited at the Business Growth Show in Manchester.
Of course we decided that we couldn't just turn up with a couple of roller banners – being a creative design agency we needed a theme!
And the theme became 'is your brand killing your business? which of course grew into a full blown crime scene with the chalked body on the floor, the policemen's helmet with blue flashing lights, crime scene tape and even handcuffs.
Take a look and see what you think….
I think I need to take photography lessons though.
Why the DBA think speculative pitching is wrong
As a member of the Design Business Association, I thought I'd take the time to put their view (and ours) forward as to why speculative pitching or free pitching is wrong, and how clients end up paying in the end anyway.
Point 6 of the DBA Code of Conduct recommends: 'Members should not take part in pitches, which require unpaid work. The level of payment for pitches should relate to the time and effort involved.'
Considerable time and effort is required to prepare serious design proposals for any project. Creative proposals prepared without payment for a competitive pitch involving several other consultants can only be speedily prepared, scantily researched and superficial. They cannot be based on a genuine understanding of the client's business and objectives. In short, the proposals will not achieve the standards of professionalism to which members of the Design Business Association are committed.
Abuse of intellectual property rights
Design businesses automatically own all the rights in the work they produce. If creative work is supplied in a free pitch, the client has no rights to use that work until a contract is agreed. Inexperienced and unprofessional clients have been known to ask to retain creative work supplied by all the consultancies involved in free pitches. The clients then make that creative work available to the successful consultancy with the suggestion that some elements of each design are included in the final work. This is highly illegal and alienates professional design businesses from that client damaging the prospects of the client acquiring truly effective design solutions.
Design consultants are selling design talent and expertise. To give away creative work is therefore to give away all. This contrasts with other professions, such as advertising agencies, for whom the creative element of a project often accounts for only a small proportion of the total remuneration they can hope to gain by winning the pitch. They are sometimes understandably more willing to speculate with their creative work, although as we suggest above, the relevance and quality of that work might be open to question.
Clients pay in the end
Design consultancies are commercial organisations. They need to make a profit. If speculative pitching becomes widespread, clients would simply find the cost of speculative pitches being reclaimed through higher fees and charges throughout the industry. Continue reading
Seek and Share – A case study for Severn Trent
The picture before
Severn Trent needed to reduce expenditure on capital equipment and make existing assets and networks work much harder. One route was to establish and embed a cultural change of 'Seeking and Sharing' within the Severn Trent team and their One Supply Chain (OSC). The project Seek and Share was born and needed to be embedded in the organisation's own way of working that engaged both its internal team and the OSC.
What our biggest challenges were
As always with a project of this nature and the number of different audience groups, we needed to understand:
• The way the different audiences work currently, how they engage with each other and the existing tools they use.
• What key trigger would encourage them to adopt 'Seek and Share'.
• The barriers to adopting the 'Seek & Share' due to the competitive element within the One Supply Chain.
What we wanted to achieve
Seek & Share was implemented in order to encourage Severn Trent and the One Supply Chain to find more innovative and cost effective ways of doing things (Seeking) and then to give that information freely to other parts of the One Supply Chain (Sharing) in order that both best practice and cost savings can be realised.
The service Smart Ideas Design provided
The brief for this project needed to be shaped and defined so we worked with Severn Trent and the One Supply Chain in a series of workshops to help them define the brief before we started any creative. We all needed to understand the nature and size of 'the beast' to be able to create the right look and feel for it.
Once the brief was shaped to Severn Trent's ultimate goals, we started with the creative work. This entailed the design and development of a set of materials including the Seek and Share style, posters, literature and web portal. It took the form of a series of icons pictured here which are easy to understand, engaging and colourful. The icons were further added to with string men characters who are communicating via string and tin cans. The style is designed to be warm, colourful, friendly and engaging as well as completely different for a utility like Severn Trent Water. Continue reading
Evolution of top brands over the years
We found this article really interesting and perhaps the most interesting change of all has come with the Apple logo. Although the Pepsi logo has rather a similar look to Coca Cola back in 1906! I wonder if there were any copyright lawyers kept busy then?
One thing we all remarked on in the studio is how simplicity is where it's at these days. So for any of you who are on the re-brand trail, please think simplicity.

Passionate about healthcare and labor law, Epstein seeks like-minded, entrepreneurial associates "with a practical or educational background related to the industry."
KEEP reading if you're interested in going into labor. Labor law, that is, not medical labor. Speaking of medicine, if healthcare law is something that sets your pulse racing, then you should also read on. These two practices form the specialized heart of Epstein's work – and a quick glance at Chambers USA diagnoses it as an adroit performer in both labor & employment and healthcare. "My background screamed healthcare," declared an interviewee, highlighting industry experience as a common factor among fellow attorneys in the department. This isn't prescriptive though – such experience can take many forms: "There are people here who were nurses, or who have done policy work, or healthcare finance." What's for sure, though, is that Epstein is a place for folk "who want to be able to specialize from day one."
Although some labor & employment associates had studied the subject at undergrad level, sources told us that this isn't mandatory. Others might have work experience in, say, human resources. "You need to have a genuine interest in the topic, because the firm is so focused on its core practices." So, if healthcare or labor & employment give you the heebie-jeebies, or you're just plain indifferent, then 'EeeBeeGee' probably isn't the firm for you.
The Work
First-year associates join the DC, New York or Newark office. In NYC, new recruits can be found in both core practices, though there tend to be a few more on the employment side. At the time of our calls, all the juniors in the capital were members of the healthcare department.
"I hear the word 'entrepreneurial' a lot."
There's no assigning partner, so juniors must be prepared to go out and find work for themselves, although "they will try to line up a few projects in the beginning." The system is "challenging," we heard. "I hear the word 'entrepreneurial' a lot, and that's accurate. As a first or second-year you're under pressure to try and build relationships with partners and not promise them more work than you can bill. It takes time to develop." While some thought that "it'd be nice to have a centralized system for a more even distribution of work," others insisted that "it's great to have the freedom to touch on different areas and reach out to certain partners."
Within the realm of healthcare law, juniors start out as generalists and appreciated the "opportunity to dabble" in a range of areas. "I've been here a year and the work categories have been all over the place!" exclaimed one, while another explained: "I focus mostly on transactional and regulatory matters. On the transactional side we represent a lot of private equity companies investing in healthcare companies, and that means a lot of due diligence. For someone who's junior, it's great to be able to dig into the heart of these companies, and see how they're structured and how they're trying to comply with the law."
Other areas tackled by new recruits include government investigations, along with fraud and abuse matters (to determine whether "healthcare systems like hospitals are setting up inappropriate financial arrangements with physicians or submitting false claims.") One noted that "litigation isn't a big area for the firm, but there is a growing antitrust practice." Day-to-day tasks range from "simple things, like putting together binders of materials," to "more complicated stuff like legal research and drafting memos and court filings." There's plenty to keep associates on their toes, as one exhilarated associate proclaimed: "The great thing about practicing health law at EBG is that the field is always changing. You're constantly having to learn and figure out how the client, and you personally, can adapt to changes in order to stay compliant."
"Specialization happens over time."
Employment juniors also "start out as generalists, and then specialization happens over time." The department represents the management side of many big Fortune 500-esque companies across a range of industries including financial services, healthcare and telecom. Our sources had worked on discrimination cases relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as wage and hour matters. "I'm impressed with the amount of experience I've had within a short amount of time," said a junior. "I've been doing things that I expected to do in the fifth year of practice." Typical tasks include drafting mediation statements, subpoenas and memos, as well as research. "I'm writing a motion this afternoon for an arbitration," reported one contentedly.
Training & Development
"Health law is always changing..."
Rookies cover the basics like the email system and billing in their first few days. Then there are "a number of lunchtime lectures as part of the 'EBG Academy', which starts in the summer, but not a whole lot of formal training." However, "health law is always changing so there are lots of webinars to participate in." Also, fledgling healthcare lawyers are sent off to the annual American Health Lawyers Association conference.
Some thought that a more substantial range of trainings "might be helpful but difficult to implement, because every partner has a different style: partner A likes it this way, partner B likes it another way." Others pointed out that "you just have to learn organically," while certain interviewees thought that "training is definitely a weak point for the firm. It would be nice to feel like there's more support." However, we did hear that the firm has recently put a more formal training program in place.
What about feedback? "It's an entrepreneurial culture here and it's incumbent on junior associates to reach out and solicit it, outside of the formal review," commented one. Another suggested that "the level of informal feedback that you get day to day really depends on the partner. At any law firm, time is a valuable commodity and it's tough for people to be proactive about this, but partners tend to be responsive if you ask them directly."
The DC, New York and Newark offices take on juniors, but Epstein has plenty more places in its national network: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Houston, LA, Princeton, San Diego, San Francisco and Stamford. Those in the capital and the Big Apple referred to their offices as "a little dated in terms of décor, but comfortable." Those in DC mentioned that a refurb or move is in the pipeline.
Hours & Compensation
We heard mixed reports about the hours. Some were cavalier about the 1,950 billing target: "I'm someone who's definitely going to hit the hours," one assured us. "It's very reasonable. You have to be active in seeking out work, rather than expecting it to turn up at your door." However, for others in DC's healthcare department, racking up this amount "is a big concern, especially for juniors. There are times when it's very busy, but a lot of other times it's not busy at all and there's still the pressure to meet that target. It doesn't feel realistic given the flow and volume of work. So it's very challenging." One summarized: "You don't have control over it – as a junior I can send emails and reach out, but I can't go out and get a client." In terms of work/life balance, "I'm either swamped or have nothing to do. It's difficult to enjoy the free time, because I feel uncomfortable with the fact I'm not busy."
"Clients tend to be more cost-conscious and eyeball the bill."
Interviewees suggested that "there isn't as steady a supply as there used to be of large projects on which juniors would traditionally build up their hours doing doc review. Now, clients tend to be more cost-conscious and eyeball the bill, so it's hard to justify putting 20 attorneys on a project when ten could do it, to keep the budget under control." One thought that "the problem could be fixed with a more coordinated system of work assignment. I don't think it's coming down the ranks."
Apparently the firm's management is aware of this issue: "Several juniors have raised the problem at an associate committee meeting, but I'm not sure how quickly the firm will figure out what to do about it." Meanwhile, healthcare associates in New York didn't seem bothered by this problem. "There's a broader scope of work to tap into, so while I do have slower months I'm not worried about hours."
Epstein's salary falls below the market rate. Again, sources had mixed opinions. "For me, the exposure to clients, the amount of responsibility and the type of work we do means more to me than an extra $30,000," declared one, while another mused that "there's more work/life balance here, so that's the pay-off." Others were less content: "There's pressure to work very hard and perform at a high level, so it would be appropriate to be paid in line with the market." Interviewees weren't sure about how the bonus system works ("it's a bit murky"). This is because discretionary factors other than hours are taken into consideration, like 'firm citizenship'.
"It's great to be surrounded by very smart colleagues who have a deep interest in health law."
"It's very congenial here," emphasized associates. "People are calm and I genuinely enjoy working with them. Day-to-day life is pleasant and it's great to be surrounded by very smart colleagues who have a deep interest in health law." However, "some of the institutional issues, like workflow, mean that morale is affected. It's an added stress."
This isn't a firm with a packed after-hours social calendar. "It tends to be more family-oriented. Lots of people commute and have families they want to get back to, but there are some junior associates who make an effort to go out after work every once in a while." That said, "lots of associates go for lunch and coffee together during the day." In addition to a big holiday bash, the firm organizes "a handful of happy hours" and monthly birthday celebrations.
Pro Bono
"Pro bono is encouraged, but it can be difficult to juggle it with billable work," remarked an associate, while another highlighted that "it's not a huge priority because pro bono hours don't count until you meet the billable target. The firm would demonstrate more commitment if they counted it before that." However, there is a pro bono committee and a "dedicated member of staff who tracks opportunities." Those that had taken on pro bono matters had tackled disability and landlord-tenant cases, as well as healthcare issues.
Pro bono hours
When it comes to diversity, interviewees agreed that "the firm is making efforts. When I look at the juniors coming in, I see a diverse crowd that includes women and ethnic minority attorneys, rather than just white men." A source in the Big Apple remarked happily that "we have a lot of female partners, which is rare for a New York firm." A women's initiative puts on regular events ("We recently held a comedy social and a fundraising event for a nonprofit organization") and there's a pipeline scheme for minority 1Ls.
Get Hired
"A practical or educational background related to the industry."
"We recruit people in a practice-specific way," says Amy Simmons, director of legal recruitment and professional development. "For healthcare we look for someone with a practical or educational background related to the industry, and we do the same for labor."
Besides this, what sort of personal qualities does the firm value? "Associates have to be self-starters. We're not a firm to tuck juniors away doing research for their first three years, so from the beginning they'll be staffed on real projects with client interaction. We need people who are comfortable giving their opinion. From an early point they get a lot of responsibility. If that doesn't appeal, then they're not a good fit." Associates added that "they look for someone who's a nice person to be around. Everyone spends so much time at work, so they want to keep up the collegial atmosphere and open culture."
Strategy & Future
"Exciting opportunities for associates."
Concentrating on the two core practice areas continues to be the Epstein ethos. "We place emphasis on our brands in the healthcare industry and in labor & employment," chairman Mark Lutes tells us. "Over the past year we've had conversations with many laterals across the country and have achieved a great deal of success in identifying those who realize that in a hyper-competitive legal market they need to develop their careers at a place with a strong brand in their specialty." Looking to the future, Lutes predicts that the firm will probably expand its national presence and set up shop "in another city or two." However, "we're not interested in growth for growth's sake. We only seek out additional opportunities that suit our specialties, where there's a hot healthcare or employment market." Not that healthcare isn't busy to begin with. Lutes confirms that the Affordable Care Act is still making waves in the industry: "It's going to have reverberations for years to come, with new sets of regulations reforming the way healthcare services are purchased and physicians are compensated by Medicare. All these economic and legal changes are creating exciting opportunities for associates."
The Affordable Care Act
On March 23, 2010 President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which was later upheld by the Supreme Court on on June 28, 2012. Dubbed ObamaCare, it represents the most significant regulatory overhaul of the US healthcare system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. It was enacted with the goal of giving more Americans access to affordable, quality health insurance, and to reduce the growth in healthcare spending in the USA. It expands the affordability, quality and availability of private and public health insurance through consumer protections, regulations, subsidies, taxes, insurance exchanges and other reforms.
Below you can see the key features of its first four years in operation:
Provisions of the Act will continue to be rolled out until 2020, but its impact is already being positively felt. "It's our belief that the three most important measures are affordability, access, and quality," according to US Department of Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell. "When you consider the law through this lens, the evidence points to a clear conclusion: The Affordable Care Act is working – and families, businesses, and taxpayers are better off as a result." As of May 2014, approximately 20 million Americans had gained health insurance coverage under the ACA, and the percentage of uninsured Americans dropped from 18% in 2013 to 13.4%. Meanwhile, millions of seniors are saving billions of dollars on their prescription drugs as the donut hole is phased out. More than 8.2 million seniors have saved more than $11.5 billion since 2010.

Mark Lutes, chair
Chambers Associate: What have been the major highlights for the firm over the past 12 months?
Mark Lutes: We're moving very quickly on a lot of things. We have consistently placed emphasis on our brands in the healthcare industry and in labor and employment. We've had conversations with many laterals across the country and have achieved a great deal of success in identifying laterals who realise that in the hyper-competitive legal market they need to develop careers at a place with a strong brand in their speciality. Young healthcare lawyers are now seeing increased competition from in-house counsel. For employment lawyers, they might have an unfocused practice and want to come to a firm where they can create a strong brand in their labor specialty and have access to a client base with national reach. They are very excited about the focus of our platform and understand how career-enhancing it is. So we've been on-boarding a couple dozen individuals who all have some variety of that story to tell. When they've gotten here it works really well.
CA: Is the Affordable Care Act still making healthcare a very busy area?
ML: It certainly is! The changes that the ACA created or set in motion are going to have reverberations for years to come and there continues to be an industry response to the ACA. There are large numbers of hospital consolidations or joint ventures to deal with. CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) requirements mean that their services must now be consistent with quality indicators and financial goals that they didn't have to adhere to previously. That trend gets aggravated every couple of months by new sets of regulations that seek to reform the way healthcare services are purchased in the country. Subsequent legislation is changing the way physicians are compensated by Medicare, and we're going to have changes to the delivery system.
All these economic and legal changes in healthcare are driving legal work for us and creating exciting opportunities for associates. Particularly in our culture, which is one of thought-leadership. We've been using it for decades, and we inculcate that mantra with all our lawyers and other staff. We find that lawyers operating in industries that are in flux have many opportunities to grab onto new emerging issues and become national thought-leaders in those issues at an early stage in their career. We provide support to them so they can follow through. For instance we've got some remarkable stories of lawyers early in their career in both practices, like a second year lawyer in labor, who's been thinking about accommodation issues related to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and received 30 plus press mentions. As a second year! You're not going to find too many operations that identify opportunities like that for early career professionals and give them the means to gain market recognition.
CA: What's the firm's strategy for the future? Any office openings in the pipeline? Where will the firm be in two or three years?
ML: We'll be continuing to focus on our core brands and we'll probably be in another city or two. We're not interested in growth for growth's sake. We only seek out additional opportunities that suit our specialties, where there's a hot healthcare or labor and employment market. We will be identifying strong healthcare lawyers to take advantage of that and areas where there are employers who need the local reach that we can provide. For example, we identified Princeton as a place we wanted to be. The important part of it is that it's not geographical expansion for the sake of it – we look at places where there's a burgeoning client community in our core specialities.
CA: What advice would you have for a law student thinking of joining the firm?
ML: We'd like to hear from law students who have a prior professional experience in, or a strong proclivity for, one of our specialities. We have a very specialized sourcing, if you will, of law students, and we identify those who can immediately provide important insights to our clients. When we find those folks it turns out to be a great match. Most recently we recruited nine summers based largely on their prior experience and we received nine acceptances for all nine offers that we made. Where there are law students who know where they want to be professionally, within one of our specialities, it's a match made in heaven. This is not a place for a student to 'find' himself or herself, but for those who can come to the table knowing that they want to be employment lawyer or work in the healthcare industry with hospital systems, pharma companies or device manufacturers. We're also attractive to those veterans of those industries who have policy and some operational experience because we operate an affiliate consultancy and they have the opportunity to work on those projects as well.

Summer details
Summer associate profile:
We look for law students who have a demonstrated interest in health law or labor and employment law through education and/or experience. EBG's summer associate positions are practice specific. Summer associate positions are either in the Healthcare and Life Sciences practice or in the Employment, Labor and Workforce Management practice. We prefer top one-third, law journal experience and strong writing skills.
Summer program components:
Training and development is an important goal of the summer program. Each summer associate is assigned an associate and a partner mentor to help guide them through the summer program experience. Summer associates are provided feedback throughout the summer – formally and informally. They have a midsummer review and an end-of-summer review. In addition, there is a series of educational sessions offered throughout the summer – typically two per week. Summer associates are given real assignments to work on so they have the opportunity to understand what it would be like to be a junior associate at EBG.

I really like this product because I want to make sure that I get my fruits, veggies, grains, super foods, marine foods, fiber, enzymes, pre/pro biotics, etc. and I wanted a comprehensive product that was easy and provided everything which is hard to find or very expensive. This product is very comprehensive and the price is very good. I also wanted something natural without a lot of junk in it.

This supplement has all the things that you need on a daily basis and at only 4 pills a day. It is much easier than taking some of the horrible tasting powder forms of the same type of product..I would much rather take these than the powder!

Season 1
- The way "Beth" manages to get herself reinstated to the police force, by delivering a blistering "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the sleazy psychiatrist who prescribed Beth the cocktail of medications that probably contributed to her psychological problems in the first place.
- Helena vs. Sarah in episode 3, on both sides.
- Paul's smackdown of Vic.
- In hindsight Donnie not cracking under Alison's torture and convincing her that he wasn't her monitor. It's as impressive as it is heartbreaking.
- The Attack of the Clones in episode 7.
- Delphine's sexy spy theme and the fact that Cosima has managed to gather enough information on the clones that her monitor was blindsided.
- Delphine: ...Merde...!
- Helena's cold, steady defiance as she refuses to lure Sarah into a trap.
- Mrs. S continues to be awesome.
- "Shotgun. Forgot about that.""That's the lovely thing about this country... Hunting's not just for the rich."
- Helena realizing Tomas has been lying to her and that he will kidnap Kira and hurt her if given a chance. She promptly leaps on him and uses all of her assassin training to beating the living hell out of him. It's only thanks to Sarah's intervention that he survives at all.
- It's more of a Tearjerker than anything, but Cosima being savvy enough to track down Delphine's true identity, even though it hurt her.
- Alison telling off her loved ones (especially Aynesley) for staging the intervention.
How would you like it if I turned your life inside out?! If I told everyone here that Chad, your husband, slept with the ski instructor long before I did? Well, maybe he acts that way because you BLEW THE ROOFER AT THE CABIN!
- Felix's delightful protectiveness of the clones.
- Cosima and Delphine collaboratively figuring out the truth behind the Neolutionists' plan, and getting a message to Sarah just in time to stop her signing her life away. Though not in time to save Kira.
- Sarah finally killing Helena. Or did she?
- It's understated, but after being kicked out of Cosima's apartment Delphine apparently went home, put her sexy underwear spying skills to good use, discovered the ruse, figured out where Cosima was going, and flew across international borders (nobody knows exactly where Sarah lives, so it could have been anywhere from a half-hour flight to the entire continent) to show, rather than tell Cosima exactly what Leekie was up to. She did all this without even bothering to change her clothes at any point. And it's Delphine who first realizes the code is binary.
Season 2
- The Chase Scene between Sarah and Mark at the start of the season. She knocks out part of a wall with a fire extinguisher and kicks him in the chest to get away.
- Sarah avoiding having to make direct contact with Paul by luring him to a bridge, then getting a teen to deliver a phone to him (not without asking for twenty bucks first) and then to avoid DYAD, she gets a teenager to stand with her back to them and when they see she's not Sarah, the teenager has a message to deliver from her;
- "She says 'Up Yours'."
- Sarah's staunch determination to find Kira. She sneaked into the Dyad event dressed as Cosima, fired her gun near Rachel, pistol-whipped her, demanded to have her daughter back.
- Just about everything Mrs. S. does: staging the kidnapping, bringing Kira to a safehouse in the woods, setting up an escape route for them to go to London, killing the Birdwatchers who betrayed her.
- Helena's Big Damn Heroes moment at the end of episode 4.
- When Kira overhears that one of her teeth could help Cosima get better, she doesn't hesitate to tie one off to a doorknob and slam!
Kira: It was already loose.
- A small but rather important one: Art says of Tony, "She's a trans clone." Felix corrects him: "He's trans. He's, yeah." This is also a meta one for the writers as the show manages to address a common confusion people have when dealing with transgender individuals without being anvilicious about it.
- In 2.09, Helena observes a woman at the Proletheans' compound being abusive to one of the children. Her reaction is a deadpan, "There was a woman in convent like you. You touch her again and I will gut you like a fish". She gets another one later in the episode with her Big Damn Heroes moment saving Mark and Gracie and her Pay Evil unto Evil moment towards Henrik.
- Donnie Hendrix confronts Vic and Angela for their sketchy behaviour. "Beth Childs' police business? How about Art Bell? Suspended for doing far less than this. All these women and you just can't put it together, can ya? You don't want to know what we know, and if you come near my home or my family again, I will bury you. Smile. [takes photo of them] Have a shitty day!"
- And to celebrate a body burial well done, he bangs Alison on the freezer. Man, Donnie became a huge badass pretty quick.
- A villainous one for Rachel in 2.09: she manipulates Delphine into meeting with Sarah in order to kidnap Kira while impersonating Sarah. She succeeds marvelously.
- Ethan Duncan kills himself to prevent Rachel from finding the cipher for his synthetic DNA, telling her in his final moments that she no longer deserves him. And he had her convinced that he had memorized the cipher himself, when actuality he snuck it to Kira who, in turn, gives it to Cosima in the final moments of season 2.
- You've got to give props to Kira for stealing a phone from a nurse at Dyad and using it to call Cal. She sends him to Mrs. S so they can collaborate on a plan to get her and Sarah out of there — which involves double agents and shady deals with the military — and it works perfectly. Not bad for an eight year old.
- Cosima and Scott build a contraption to help Sarah get loose during her unexpected operation. Just before she's cut open, Sarah uses it to launch a pencil into Rachel's eye and escape.
- Scott's quiet Undying Loyalty to Cosmia is another, more understated one.
Season 3
- Mrs. S grabbing a knife once she gets home, sensing that there's danger. Seth still gets the drop on her, but still.
- Sarah successfully tricking and manipulating Ferdinand. Then she comes close to strangling him with his own belt.
- Helena attempts to escape the Castor home-base twice, showing how clever and inventive she is. She only fails because the first time, the drugs in her system got to her; the second time, she fails because she stopped to put the captive clone out of his misery.
- Sarah hitting Rudy over the head with a shovel hard enough to draw blood.
- Helena and Sarah collaborating to escape from the Castor home-base, which involves Sarah stealing forceps from the infirmary and Helena sliding through the small window of her cell coated in butter. After Helena leaves Sarah behind, she races through the compound and scales up its walls to escape, and manages to avoid being caught the whole time.
- The rather unexpected Dying Moment of Awesome for Paul, killing several guards while bleeding out from a knife wound in the belly, and then still having the strength to look Virginia in the eye after she empties her gun into him, while dropping a grenade that destroys all the work she'd been insisting justified all the evil she'd done.
- Helena turning on Pupok after it tells her to abandon Sarah, ending up "eating" it.
- Rachel proves that not even brain damage can stop her from moving everyone around like chess pieces. She screws over Clone Club, Krystal, and Delphine in order to get Ethan Duncan's book, set them against each other, escape Dyad, leave the country, and get a new eye. All the while only Nealon, her ally, has any idea that she's even capable of this; the rest all think she's in a coma.
- "I got refund. We should go now."
- After the first half of the Season 3 finale builds up Castor launching a new plan to find the Source, it turns out our heroes knew perfectly well what they'd do, and already had a plan in motion to turn the tables on them. And even with the twist about Neolution controlling everything, they manage to come out on top and end up in easily the best position they've ever ended a season in.
- Helena vs. Rudy: Prison Style.
Season 4
- Ferdinand's Big Damn Heroes moment in the third episode.
- It doesn't accomplish much, but it's very satisfying to see Beth pistol-whip Evie Cho after finding out just how horrible she is. Art's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of Marty Duko in the next episode is equally pointless and equally satisfying to watch.
- Mrs. S in 4x08 finally gets a hold of Duko, and just brutally interrogates him with jumper cables. Once she has the information necessary, she blows his goddamn head off anyway for killing Kendall.
- 4.09:
- Rachel kidnapping a Brightborn mother right under Sarah's nose and using her to not only trick Evie Cho that she's on her side, but getting her to incriminate herself on camera and uploading the video to all news sources just as Evie is giving her big presentation.
- Helena's Big Damn Heroes entrance, just in time to save Alison from getting implanted with one of the worm bug thingies. And kill her assailant via an arrow through the neck for good measure.
- You have to give props to Tatiana Maslany. Not only is she wonderful as Sarah, the main protagonist, but she very convincingly plays the other clones that sometimes you forget that they are all played by the same person. The makeup and effects departments deserve a lot of credit for helping to pull this off convincingly as well, and Maslany herself will be the first to give credit to her double Kathryn Alexandre (who plays opposite her in scenes where there are two clones and is edited out in post-production).
- Of particular awesome is the way Maslany plays one clone playing another. For instance, when Sarah pretends to be Alison, it doesn't come off as Tatiana Maslany playing Alison, it comes off as Sarah playing Alison, and you can tell in the performance that Sarah does not have a very high opinion of Alison. The performance is just mind-blowingly subtle and layered.
- As recently as 4x09, Maslany's portrayal of Sarah's portrayal of Beth is a little off. Because Sarah is out of practice.
- The way the media managed to turn Maslany's 2014 Emmy Award Snub into huge publicity for both her and the show. When news outlets started to write about that year's Emmy snubs, rather than focusing on something like Elisabeth Moss or The Walking Dead, they put Maslany's snub front-and-center. The fact that they singled out a relatively unknown actress from what is considered little more than a cult show, let alone one from a country whose shows rarely get any buzz in America, against bona fide cultural phenomena proves how rapidly the show's profile is growing.
- Tatiana's Emmy nomination in 2015 after all said controversy is a massive Crowning Moment of Awesome.
- As of September 18, 2016, any mention of Tatiana Maslany can now be preceded by "Emmy Award-winning actress".
- One for the fans. A while before the second season aired, any fans who attended a certain event got to see the season 2 premiere earlier. And no one spoiled a thing from it. Namely Helena not being dead. That shows just how dedicated a fanbase Clone Club is.
- Tatiana Maslany had the flu when the fourth season finale was filmed. If it hadn't been publicly revealed, no one would probably ever have been able to guess.

Item Description...
We will not hesitate to say that this is one of the most important books ever given to man. At age 83, it was no accidental production, but a profound masterpiece produced over fifty years of the most intense reflection and thirty years of teaching on the subject as president of colleges and as professor of mental philosophy while displaying the deepest virtue and usefulness. Before Critical History, all such philosophical histories were the gloomy revelation of the contradictory errors of men, and the natural result was pessimistic skepticism. But the author has rather sanctified the science--gleaning the truth from all who discovered it. At the same time, he more than just exposed the mistakes and sins of all contrary systems, but also gave us the reasons for departure and the fully justified--and undeniable--reality that fills in the void. This original analysis not only solves the great world problems but also gives hope to the student where all other histories have left us in contradictory despair.

Q:how do i adjust the fpr on my truck
1 answer
A:With reference to this Dorman - Help Fuel Pressure Regulator - part# 55162, for adjusting the fuel pressure regulator hook up your pressure gauge. If you have a cowl mounted or interior mounted fuel pressure gauge. Take off the vacuum line running to the regulator and block it. This way you will set the fuel pressure without the regulator seeing vacuum. Grab the appropriate closed wrench and allen wrench. It helps to have a friend if you have a cowl mounted gauge.

So yesterday my book Bid For Love from Dark Eden Press was released. This is my first book with Dark Eden Press and I'm so thrilled...
I wanted to share a bit of the book with you all..I hope you enjoy it.
Nico's latest disaster only proves that when you gamble your heart on a man, you might as well get ready to lose. Then why does she find herself ready to take a chance on the sexy construction worker? When her chance for love comes up on the auction block, can she bring herself to make one last bid for happiness and just maybe true love?
Title - Bid for Love
Release Date - February 01, 2008
Category - Erotica
Genre - Contemporary
Heat Level - Carnal
Word Count - 17,500
Jeff walked past the set of desks and headed to round the corner when he heard what sounded like soft moans coming from the next corner. His immediate reaction made him think maybe someone was in trouble but as he approached he heard what were surely not moans from someone who needed any assistance.
He proceeded with caution and couldn't believe what he finally saw. More like watching from afar. Curious, he peeked from the corner and thought his sight was deceiving him. There in front of him, against the wall, was Nico.
Her eyes were closed and her white blouse open, exposing the gorgeous curves of her body. The white bra she wore was slightly pulled down and it accentuated her voluptuous breasts. One of her hands roamed her body as the other
tormented her nipples.
He knew he shouldn't stand there watching her but he couldn't help himself. She looked so ravishing. As her hand moved across her body he noticed something shiny. He had to do a double take when he realized what it was.
Nico had a nipple ring. He couldn't believe it. The beauty before his eyes surprised him, not just with her unexpected body jewelry but also by what he observed her do. Silently he stood watching her hand caress her body. Softly she bit her lower lip and another moan escaped her lips.
The hushed sound from her lips was torture to him. Blood rushed straight to his cock that hardened until it strained against his jeans. Tightly clenching his jaw he stifled a grunt from escaping his own mouth. The last thing he wanted was to get caught watching her.
He didn't know how much longer he could stand there and hold out. Every part of him wanted to run over to where she was, pin her against the wall and fuck her in every possible way until both of them were spent. He wanted his lips to replace her fingers on her nipples, his tongue, his mouth would do the job and so much more.
Jeff didn't leave as he should have, he stayed looking at her, taking in every part of herself that she revealed to him unknowingly.
Slowly her hands abandoned her nipples and crept lower towards the slits in her black skirt. Her eyes still closed, she gently tugged the skirt up to reveal one gorgeous pair of legs. Once her skirt was high enough, one hand slipped under the black material of her panties as the other returned to her lonely hard nipples that peeked out from her bra.
With every second passing him by, Jeff's heartbeat now beat out of control. His aching cock couldn't take it anymore. All he had to do was unzip his jeans and it could spring free for satisfaction by his own hand. Instead, Jeff tugged on his pants to try to stop the ache.
The book is now available at Dark Eden Press www.darkedenpress.com

Tween audiences may thrill to this dance flick about kids "finding themselves" through the medium of hip-hoppery and thereby contributing to the good of society. Everyone else will find it pretty tiresome.
Theo Stevenson, who deserved a good smack after Horrid Henry, plays the twerpish Ethan, so determined to curry favour with the cool girl at school that he forms his own dance crew and aims to save the local hangout threatened by a scoundrel developer (Mark Heap, in the only performance I enjoyed).
The director, Ben Gregor, "mixes it up" with daydream dance sequences, one of them based on Space Invaders ("Yeah, they came out of the Second World War"), but the script is a paltry jumble of aspirational clichés and modish street-talk.Reuse content

Camping at Falcon Lake
... br>
Once we were back we went to a grocery store for a few things and noticed a newspaper headline. Apparently the rainstorm we experienced in Winnipeg was a 1 in 100 year storm. They received one month's worth of rain in 90 minutes. I guess we were lucky to not be affected.
I've been looking a the map and trying to decide which way to go from here to London Ont. and Niagara Falls. There are quite a few choices and ...
Kakabeka Falls, ON to West Hawk Lake, MB
... The extra hour gained meant we reached our destination early enough that the visitor center was still open. We chatted with the Park Warden for quite some time, and were told which campsite would be best and all about the attractions Manitoba has to offer. We ended up camping at West Hawk Lake, with a site that was a few steps away from the shores of the lake. Just perfect!
The Big Move
Finally everything is ready and the movers (Vieville Building Movers from Ile des Chenes) do their job.
They jack up one side of the cottage and place a steel beam 60 feet long and 12 inches square under that side and then insert a second beam on the other side.
The beams are then jacked up and two support points (each at about 10 to 20 feet from the end) are placed under each beam using 6" x ...
Whiteshell offers great technical bike trails
We were actually looking for a new or challenging hiking trail somewhere close to Winnipeg making a day trip feasible.
In my search I came across the Falcon Ridge Trail System, which is a system of hiking trails that can also be biked. Starting at the Falcon Ridge Resort (they gave us a map and advice about the best trails) we biked up and down and up and down to the delight ...
Taking Down the Last Tree
We had left one tree standing near the cottage as it provided shade on the back deck and even though it was right next to the overhead hydro and telephone cables I thought "how hard can it be to fell a tree". Well, plenty hard apparently. Because of the large branch on the side where the cables were I couldn't get it to go the right direction (even with Todd pushing) so we went to Plan B and used a "come-along" to winch it ...

IT Monitoring for Networks, Applications, Virtual Servers and the Cloud

4.21.1 Introduction to Problems
4.7. Business Service Monitoring
220.127.116.11. Adding the Variable Within Opsview Monitor
4.9.1. Introduction to Time Periods
Opspacks are a collection of plugins and Service Check configuration data organised into Host Templates and stored within a .tar.gz file - these can then be unzipped and installed on an Opsview Monitor system.
By default, Opsview Monitor ships with an exhaustive list of different Host Templates. These Host Templates are visible within 'Host Template Settings' in the user interface, as shown below:
Additional Host Templates, Service Check definitions and plugins can be installed by downloading an Opspack and installing it. You can also create your own Opspacks, share them and re-install them using the instructions in Section 4.23.1. Creating Opspacks
Some Opspacks require additional software to be installed in order to work correctly, such as Software Development Kits (SDKs) - e.g. for the Oracle and VMware host templates. For instructions on installing these pre-requisites, please see the relevant page in Section 4.23.2
There are two ways of installing:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/install_opspack {tarball}
/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/opspacks and run
When installing an Opspack, log entries go to /var/log/opsview/opsviewd.log.
The database table called opsview.monitor_packs is used to store the Opspacks that have been installed on the system.
This means the plug-in already exists on the system.
You can install the monitor pack by adding "-f" option but this will overwrite the existing plug-in and other configuration and so should be used with caution.

"Zentrale Randgruppe" are Simon Schwendener (Khainz) & Piero Scherer (Mirio) both living in Switzerland. Since the early 90ies they are both very interested in electronic music and the party-movement around the globe. Some years after they started to produce different styles of music in their own homestudios. Simon in Buchs (SG) and Piero in Lucern.
In 2002 Simon moved to Lucern where they met first time. They knew very soon that they have a lot of common interests in music and production, so they started to produce together a couple of tracks. Soon they where working more often together and formed the band "Zentrale Randgruppe".

Reap What You SowMature
Ismaly was almost asleep when the high pitch of capacitors charging caught her attention. Her Hornet's simulated destruction had finally timed out. She sighed angrily and submitted to the indoctrination of the UEE Navy and followed procedure.
"Scipio this is Hound Delta one. Requesting further orders, over."
She waited, impatiently until finally her comms crackled.
"Scipio, acknowledged. Make way at best speed to bay zero one, heading for initial approach zero zero seven eight, over."
"Hound Delta one, over and out."
Ismaly slammed the throttle forward and accelerated toward the Scipio as her wingmen's craft also began to re-initialize.
Her eyes locked on to another Hornet who's running lights slanted oddly in the distance. It was the Hornet of veteran pilot Sarah "Flack" Deans, who hadn't made it all the way to the Scipio yet, under an awkward vector due to damaged thrusters. She rolled her eyes, still painfully regretful that she hadn't come out of the dogfight on top. She wanted to log on to the Shepherd Dogs channel and give her piece to Flack, but decided it would be best to hold her tongue, for now.
On the flight deck, Mathew waited patiently as the crowbar continued to grind into the alloys of the cockpit's canpopy. A knocking came, and he turned to see the technician leaning forward to speak.
"Try it now."
Mathew engaged battery power and was met with the same flashing light, but decided to try the lever regardless. He pulled it, and the canopy jerked forward but stopped, shuddered and moved a few more inches. Mathew sat up and grabbed on to the lip of the canopy, pushing it forward with every ounce of strength he could muster. The technician too, was heaving against it, using the ladder for leverage as much as he could. The canopy slowly crept forward, until finally the uni-rail system passed the damaged portion of the frame and accelerated forward at normal speed, leaving both Mathew and the technician to fall forward with its motion.
Mathew grunted, and grasped the sealed collar of his helmet, tearing the release clip and twisting the helmet off the seal ring. He sucked in the familiar air of the Scipio's flight deck, saturated with the smell of industrial grease, oil and fuel. It was glorious compared to the cramped confines of the Hornet's cockpit, re-using his own breath through the rebreather of his flight suit.
"You're welcome." said the Technician.
"Hey, wait." Mathew grasped his arm. "I'm sorry. I was a bit irritable in there."
"It's understandable."
"My name's Mathew." he extended his hand.
"Jessie." said the technician, grasping Mathew's outstreached hand with a firm grip.
"Thanks Jessie, I appreciate your help."
"You'd be the first pilot to say that Mathew."
"Well, I'd hope that mentality changes."
"As would I." said Jessie, as he continued down the boarding ladder to the flight deck below.
Mathew was disembarking when he saw another hornet slip into the Scipio's belly. A ground guide came forward to escort it to a parking space, but the Hornet continued beyond his glowing batons. It coasted skillfully next to an open bay and then yawed, translated downward and backed up before lowering gear and touching down. Mathew frowned, and continued down the ladder. By the time he got to the tarmac below, the other hornet's canopy had opened and the pilot stood up in the cockpit. The helmet came off, revealing tumbling waves of golden hair.
Mathew smirked, understanding now why the ground guide had been ignored. The Princess didn't take orders from lowly none comissioned members of the UEE Navy. His smirk disappeared when he turned to see none other than Major Marmossa standing before him, his scared face grimacing unintentionally. The combat veteran stood aside, revealing that some of the senior staff were making their way across the flight deck. Walking toward him, Mathew saw the Executive First Officer Commander Geoffrey Williams; the Engineering Officer Lt. Commander Lesley Jones; the Traffic Officer Major Lillian Jasper and the ship's Captain, Michael James Anderson.
A lump grew in Mathews throat until it became so heavy it dropped like a stone into his gut as he swallowed dryly.
"Mister Dionne." exclamed Commander Williams.
Mathew snapped to attention. "Sir." he said, shifting the helmet onto his left hip to free up his right hand so that it could deliver a crisp salute.
"At ease." Williams continued.
By now, the clag had reached him, and he was surrounded by the thickest brass available on the Scipio.
The Captain took in a deep breath, and even over Ismaly's engines winding down, Mathew could hear the raspness in his voice. "Tell me, Mister Dionne. Did you take into account any consideration of your own wellbeing, or that of UEE property before engaging in that reckless maneuver?"
The Captain's voice was like sandpaper, both in sound and texture, as though it were grinding away at his very being. "Sir, I ... "
"We don't want excuses Lieutenant." Williams interjected. "We want the truth."
Mathew stopped and while holding his breath, he reflected on those words.
"Generally ... " said Lt. Commander Jones. "The first thing to come to mind is the truth. Focus on that."
Mathew exhailed, as though giving up a great burden. "Not for a second." He said, a sombre expression dominating the landscape of his face.
The Captain smiled. "There are few men like you still around Mathew Dionne, and it's a true pity, because we need as many of your caliber as we can get."
Major Jasper stood forward. "You pulled off some vector translations out there that I've never seen a Hornet perform before. You should be proud."
"Nevertheless." said Lt. Commander Jones, "You did do damage to a brand new Hornet."
"I think that's partially forgiveable." said the Captain, "Considering you were willing to sacrafice everything for the wellbeing of your squadmate. Nonetheless, I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from using such valor again. Save it, because soon we won't be firing training rounds; we'll be taking real fire, and people will die. Some too, however, will rise to the occasion and prove to be true men of honor, bravery and virtue. I need you to hold on to that talent of yours Lieutenant."
Mathew cocked his head. " That's twice now that you've mistaken my rank. With all do respect Sirs, and Ma'am; I'm not yet the rank of Lieutenant."
"I'd beg to differ." Said the Captain, handing out the insignia of Lieutenant to Mathew; its golden bars resting in the palm of his open hand. "You've proven beyond all expectation that you are willing to sacrifice everything for the good of your men and the UEE. I see fit for you to lead Wolf Bravo as flight leader, and to do so I hereby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant, with the expectation that you shall carry out all duties and responsibilities belonging to this rank, with utmost competence and keeping at heart the virtues and morals of the United Earth Empire."
Mathew took the Captains outstretched hand, the insignia within, as was customary when pledging oath, and stood tall. "I shall, to the best of my abilities, carry out the duties and responsibilities bestowed upon me in keeping at heart the virtues and morals of the United Earth Empire and above all else, the lawful command of the Scipio's Captain."
Captain Anderson sighed. "Unfortunately Lieutenant, you did cause significant damage to your hornet, and I am not in a position of power to subvert the law which I am under oath to uphold. That being said, I hereby charge you the monetary value equal to that which will be bonus in relation to your new station and responsibility for the next two installments of pay, meaning you will not get Lieutenants pay until that time. Is that understood?"
"Sir, yes it is."
"Very well." The Captain turned to his entourage. "Shall we?" He said, motioning toward the control center, and the lift beyond, that would return them to the bridge.
The clag turned and walked away. Closely behind them Major Marmossa followed, turning back briefly, with his blank stare that made chills run down Mathew's spine.

A commenter asked where they could find the music from the Doctor Who episode "The Rings of Akhaten." Above is the first song, "God of Akhaten." Below is the second, "Wake Up," with the wonderful speech by the Doctor during it. For discussion of the religious themes of the episode, see my earlier blog review [Read More…]
Hymn to the God of Akhaten
Doctor Who: Akhaten vs. Aztecs
If one compares the most recent Doctor Who episode "The Rings of Akhaten" with the episode "The Aztecs" from the very first season, an interesting change in the Doctor's outlook about religion and human sacrifice emerges. In "The Aztecs" the Doctor is emphatically opposed to Barbara's interference in an attempt to change history. It may [Read More…]
Doctor Who: The Rings of Akhaten
The Doctor Who episode "The Rings of Akhaten" is surely one of the best in the show's history for those interested in seeing Doctor Who explore religion. Spoilers ahead!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52

BRUSSELS – The European Union's antitrust chief said Wednesday he is looking "very carefully" at allegations that Google Inc. unfairly demotes rivals' sites in search results.
Joaquin Almunia said in a speech that the EU investigation is still at an early stage but that officials were aware of the "importance of search to a competitive online marketplace."
He appeared to accept Google's arguments that it is hard to behave as a monopoly on the web, saying the fluid nature of the Internet may make it more difficult for powerful companies to elbow out other companies in new markets.
British price comparison site Foundem and French legal search engine ejustice.fr complained to the EU that they were ranked low in Google searches, claiming that this may be because they offer rival services to Google.
Google says its search results are entirely controlled by algorithms that demote sites with little useful content for users.
Low rankings matter because a higher ranking in a Google search drives higher volumes of traffic to websites.
[edited by: cien at 10:26 pm (utc) on Jul 7, 2010]
Yes, but the problem is that the listings are not on google.com's search results, they are on another Google real estate which Google will be benefiting from, I believe through Google checkout.

Is search so central to commerce that it needs to have some sort of regulations in place?
Google says its search results are entirely controlled by algorithms
Google has a lot to worry about if found in violation.
Can the large soap manufacturers sue the large nationwide drugstore chain for doing this or is the drugstore chain allowed to decide what soap it puts on what shelf?
"Google says its search results are entirely controlled by algorithms that demote sites with little useful content for users."
Google.cn search results were filtered so as not to bring up any results concerning the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, sites supporting the independence movements of Tibet and Taiwan, the Falun Gong movement, and other information perceived to be harmful to the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Which part of the algorithm awards Google PR10?Are you really asking which part of the algo awards PageRank?
Nowadays, visitors to GooG barely even need to come to OUR websites anymore.
The Inside Google analysis found that the most striking example of the power of the Universal Search strategy is MapQuest, a unit of AOL whose market share has dwindled to 32%, down from 57.24% in July 2007. The Hitwise data shows that the stark decline in visits to MapQuest was accompanied by a closely matching rise in visits to Google Maps, as Google put its own service atop all others for generic address searches.
"MapQuest, a unit of AOL, appears likely to soon be reduced from a dominant player in web commerce to an also-ran, due in large part to the steps taken by Google to favor its own locator service," the report said. "Google is now the now the dominant provider of local search information with more than 51% of the market."
This is worth a read about G entering new markets and using its huge user base to leverage new products via its search results... perhaps to the detriment of not just rival products, but to those of us competing within the SERP's.
Google will be jumping into other businesses in which there are a lot of profit to be made.

Hawke's Bay Coastguards have been given the thumbs up from a Picton sailor who became stranded off Napier on Wednesday.
Rick Ireland bought a 56ft ketch, called Kingston Rover, in Auckland and was sailing it back home, when he encountered a spot of trouble.
A near miss with a logging ship at Cape Turnaround, forced the yacht into reverse, but it was too much for a tired engine, which spluttered to a halt shortly afterwards.
"There was a big ship about four miles to the right, this thing approached ahead of us, with the ship on our other side I thought I would go around it, but it just kept coming, I lost sight of its lights ... when I found them it was right in front of us, so I shoved it into reverse - the motor was howling," Mr Ireland said.
"When we got past we wanted to keep going, but the motor started clattering and then there was a bang."
The crew erected its sails and turned back to Napier where they notified Hawke's Bay Coastguard of their presence.
"We had contacted them by radio, they wanted to know if we needed a tow in, but we were hooning along at about 7 knots, it was only when we ran out of wind we had to call back."
The volunteer team of Coastguards rushed to their aid at about 8.30pm on Wednesday, and inched into port, with the vessel in tow, about 2am.
Mr Ireland was full of praise for the group, who delivered his wet, tired crew to a motel for the evening, before returning home for a few winks themselves.
Kingston Rover's "deep draft" and a low tide meant it had to be berthed in Napier Port for a night, before another crew skippered by Hawke's Bay Coastguard duty officer Neil Daykin, moved it to a more permanent location the following day.
"Tow assists are the main thing we do - problems with engines or people who have run out of fuel - we do about half a dozen ocean yachts a year with engine failure," Mr Daykin said.
Mr Ireland, a single dad to sailing mad daughters Tammy, 8, and Annie, 6, planned to leave the ketch docked outside Napier Sailing Club and fly back home until he got word on when it could be fixed.
He bought the vessel as a do-up project for his girls.
"It won't be Kingston Rover for long, it's going to be Tamanny 11, after my daughters. Tamanny 1 is sitting in the front yard, but no one really likes that boat."
