Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
So this month we're going to try one thread just for google.com and general Google SERP changes, and this thread - dedicated to observations for Google's UK flavor. So what do members see going on with the google.co.uk search results this month?
When I first started they did not fair to well, after a lot of work and a lot of UK links their up fighting with the best of them. UK specific links (hosted in the UK, with .co.uk) are key.
[edited by: tedster at 1:58 pm (utc) on June 23, 2008]
Click-through rate is one of the primary drivers determining you position on AdWords, so it makes sense for Google to optimise the organic results in the same way.
Higher clickthrough rates increase revenue. If they get a 10% CTR on a �1.34 bid, then they will make more money than a 1% CTR �10.21 bid. It has nothing to do with relevancy.
Don't forget that page load time is now a factor in much of Google's ranking.
In adwords only, and again for financial reasons. Fast loading PPC pages increase revenue, there was a thread on the report but I can't seem to find it.
So if click-throughs are ordering the serps and users favour local tlds, it should follow that the uk google.com results should show .co.uks.
Kinda steps on your own clickthrough rate theories then doesn't it?
Not my clickthrough rate theory, IH, hence why I gave that example ;)
How can it not negate everything you stated about tracking CTR? You say that they are using CTR to determine rank therefore that would mean UK sites would be clicked more on Google.com for UK specific searches which means they would rank higher. And the whole point of this argument is that they don't rank - you even said that yourself.
I believe that Google must put additional effort into the UK market as it sees it as important.
Personally, as places like Indian and China have opened up I think the UK with it's tiny population comparitively is being reducing yearly in importance to Google. Very, very small fish now.
Higher clickthrough rates increase revenue. If they get a 10% CTR on a �1.34 bid, then they will make more money than a 1% CTR �10.21 bid. It has nothing to do with relevancy.
They also increase the user experience by demoting the less popular ad (and possibly site) and promoting the more popular, and therefore more relevant ad and site.
In a Google documentary produced in 2006, Marissa Meyer said:
The search information we retain we do so for quality purposes. We review it only in aggregate. We do aggregate computations and try to understand how to make searches better. So for example if you search for football, and click on result number three, we want to use that information, so next time we take result number three and make it number one.
Doing a search for [widgets] from Canada, Toronto to be specific brings back 8 out of 10 UK/AU sites. 3 out of these 8 are using .co.uk domains, while the others are using .com, but are clearly either UK or AU entities.
Do the same search from the US, produces completely different results, results that actually make sense given both the topic, and location of the sites.
Do anyone see US/CAD sites showing up in the UK results? Maybe someone has them setup backwards at the plex...

[edit reason] Removed specifics [/edit]
I think the problem could be a combination of ISP proxies in some places (are you sure Google are seeing a CA IP address when you search Google.co.uk?) and the fact that Google does not have a huge urge to make Google.co.uk results that relevant to CA searchers.
Out of interest, how do you search Google.co.uk from Canada. When you type in Google.com doesn't it redirect you to the .ca version?
Doing the exact same search, but using a US based proxy browser, none of these UK and AU sites show up.
I could see a couple of these ranking, but 8 and sometimes 9 out of 10? Something's clearly broken. I've emailed G several times over the last fewe months, but it's not changed.
Sounds like you're getting more .com's showing up in the serps then we are here in Canada, lol.
Google, if you're listening, fix this as it's driving me nuts. :-)
I represent a site that had a position of 28 in Google uk for several months for the single keyword phrase conservatories, in June 2008 (around the 11th) this position improved to position 6. I initially thought this was a blip but after 7 days the position remainded constant so I happliy accepted the improvement.
The site was indexed again on 20th June and then dropped back to position 20.
I have thought that Google indexed rankings once a month on a four week basis? So I am more than a little confused to see two separate ranking updates within the same month?
Also has anyone else had this kind of fluctuation in their serps within Google this month...positively or negatively?
I wouldn't mind but there has not been any seo activity for this site in June full stop so to say I am confused by a drop of 14 places is an understatement!
I have identifed that the priorities withion the sitemap file have not been set but as Google state that this does not affect rankings I cannot see why this fluctiation has occured.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
De badger
Having said that the main problem I have is that in June the site increased its position by around 14 places and within two weeks has dropped by 10 positions. From the Webmaster account there do not appear to be any new links indexed in this period, no new pages have been added or removed.
It has taken a considerable amount of time to get this client moving up in the serps but to see this kind of change is very odd, particulalry if no one else out there is ahving any issues this month.
Again any ideas?
The site has dropeed from position 6 to position 21, accross all data centres that I have checked.
What I am asking here is has anyone else had this kind of fluctuation with their own serps results in June 2008?
Of course it may just be that Googl made an error with their indexing a fortnight ago and are just repairing the situation, the site was originally in position 24-25 before it ranked at position 6-7, now the site ranks at 20-21.
So any other ideas SEO Community? "You are my only hope"
De Badger
I'm in the UK, our main site audience is UK based and the site ranks ok on .co.uk which is pretty much how it should be.
Now if I change the search from;
I get different results and the site is nowhere, I haven't checked the results from a USA IP but it does seem odd, as if Google is trying to serve up different results to the UK would it not make sense to show the same results for both of the above?
I'm sure you'll see the results are completely different. That makes sense though, the results should be different.
The bug I'm seeing, is when searching "[widgets]" from Toronto, Canada, Google is serving up 8 or 9 UK or AU sites out of 10 results. (first page serps)
This is clearly what we'd call a "broken" and I'm surprized they are ignoring the issue.
[edited by: Receptional_Andy at 12:36 pm (utc) on June 26, 2008]
[edit reason] Removed specifics [/edit]
Removed the majority of relevant keyword anchor text links from each relevant pages.
Changed anchor text which links to each page from keywords to what ever we use in the title tag of that page.
Added a page description under every navigation link to give visitors a better idea of what page they are going to be clicking on.
Split big category pages up so all linked to pages are not on one single page.
Improved the user experiance by giving the site a built in search engine style search.

text: You can always get away from the people. The question is will there be deer there. My wife and I only went out twice last season but we didnt see anyone in the areas we hiked to. We didnt see deer either so maybe they all knew something I didnt. We did see a lot of sign and we had an early snow so they must have just moved out. The way I see it is that I always see nice deer in the archery season so they are hiding someplace people are not hunting or they wouldnt be getting big. That inspires me to keep looking for those hiding places.

Shanked Balls and Double Faults
Kait O'Callahan is a contributing writer for OnTheGoTennis. She is currently at the Australian Open with her brother and will be sharing her stories from the matches they attend.
It's already hot when we turn up for our first match. The wind is blowing strong and it looks like we are in for a day of shanked balls and double faults. It certainly starts that way as we tune in for Frederick Nielson and Kevin Anderson. Nielson, who we developed a soft spot for during his Hopman Cup choke loss to Gasquet, has fought his way through qualifying and been rewarded with a match against the man who donated a huge chunk of his first ATP title's prize money to saving rhinos. Anderson is too good for Nielson, and we leave after the first set.
A Russian woman is seated in front of us, playing with the pearls dangling from her neck. Her matching earrings and expensive looking black dress stand out amongst the masses of t-shirts and denim shorts. She flits on her high heels towards the shade every few games. It's hot work being that glamourous. She's there to watch Nikolay Davydenko, who appears to be playing well against the very defensive Flavio Cipolla. Unfortunately, that all changes when up two sets up to one, Davydenko begins to tire, and eventually loses in five. It's a disappointing first round exit for a man who used to be world number four. We wonder if it is the last time we will see Davydenko live.
"I'm awld aand even I can tell that wuur in" a voice yells in a heavy American accent. Mardy Fish didn't join the man's fretting over the possibly bad call; by the time we get there he's up a set and cruising against Gilles Muller. We see a set out and leave.
Alexandr Dolgopolov may have made the Brisbane Final but he's losing to an absolute no-namer on Margaret Court. His opponent, Australian Greg Jones, leads two sets to one. I can't tell you how Jones got there, because as soon as we take our seats Dolgopolov recovers. Jones falls to pieces mentally and physically and loses over five sets in a mere 2.5 hours. If there is such thing as cruising to a five set win, Dolgopolov managed it.
Margaret Court served up a few disappointments today. I'm not sure what the plans are regarding the rainbows protest, but I saw only one rainbow flag. Laura Robson wore a discreet rainbow coloured hair tie to show her support. So discreet, I didn't notice it. Robson's game was the second disappointment. She gave out easily to Jelena Jankovic, who played well but nowhere near the 'perfect' a journalist on Twitter claimed.
Despite taking home the title in Sydney yesterday, it wasn't hard to feel sorry for Jarkko Nieminen when he stepped on court less than 24 hours later to take on David Nalbandian. The Finn, who had played two finals on Sunday, put up a strong fight in the first set. Nalbandian showed promising form and the shotmaking was the best I saw that day. Sadly, Nieminin's body wasn't as willing and he retired in the second set.
"It's like watching the Rugby World cup final," a lady calls out behind me. We can only be watching the sole New Zealander in the singles draw, Marina Erakovic. She's playing Irene Pavlovic on court 15 - a court closer to the bush than the action (trust the Aussies to put the Kiwi on the far court, ha ha ha). Bugs and seagulls create a canopy above the players who are entertaining a passionate crowd with what must be their best tennis. Pavlovic hits her two-handed forehand heavy and makes a sneezing sound for a grunt, but she can't topple the crowd favourite, and Erakovic wins in two close sets. It is my favourite match of the day, and produces the only nerves. With that, we retire home. We managed a 12 hour day, and will be back in another 12.

Biographical Sketch
When he returned to the University of Florida after the war, Jones switched his major to Architecture and received a degree in that field in 1950. He immediately found a position with the firm of noted Lakeland architect Thomas B. Talley. He remained with Talley for eight years, before striking out on his own in 1958.
Jones was involved in two professional partnerships in the mid-1960's, but worked as a single practitioner with his office in Lakeland for the bulk of his professional career. During his long and distinguished career, Jones designed more than 200 structures in and around Lakeland, including private homes, public and private schools, churches, municipal buildings and commercial structures. He had a particular interest in remodeling and renovating private homes.
Jones was also very active in the political, cultural, and religious life of Lakeland. He served on the city's Historic Preservation Board and was elected to the City Commission in 1975 to complete the term of a City Commissioner who had resigned from office. He was a member of Lakeland's Little Theater and frequently appeared in its productions. He had an interest in music from an early age and sang in the choir at the First United Methodist Church for many years. He was also a member of the Lakeland Choral Society and sang in many of its performances.
Jones retired from the practice of architecture in 1986, but continued to remain active in the community for many years after his retirement. He died in Lakeland at the age of 81 on September 26, 2002.

Stephenson Harwood's (SH) Kuwaiti alliance firm ASAR – Al Ruwayeh & Partners is to expand its reach by launching an office in Qatar.
Partner Sam Habbas, who is in charge of the firm's international development, said nothing had yet been formalised, but that the firm is "heading in that direction" and that the office would launch "in the next year".
The office will focus on corporate and commercial along with banking and finance work, with no more than three lawyers manning the outpost.
Habbas also hinted that a number of ASAR's clients were well-placed to get, or were already engaged on, Fifa World Cup-related projects.
"A lot of people look at the Gulf as a single entity now," said Habbas. "We do a lot of work throughout the Gulf area and have clients from every country in the region, and we've got to the point where we need to be in more locations."

THEARC Hosts Final Presentation of the 11th Street Recreational Bridge Concept Designs
Designed by Local Teens, July 16 – 27, 2012
For Immediate Release:
Media Contacts: Scott Kratz, email@example.com, (202) 669-0951
Tanya Washington-Stern, firstname.lastname@example.com, (202) 442-7635
WHAT: Teens from the District's Summer Youth Employment Program are helping to transform an aged out freeway bridge into a recreation destination high above the Anacostia River. The D.C. Office of Planning, working with THEARC, has tasked 20 teens to create their own concepts for an 11th Street Recreation Bridge. These concepts will be used by the Office of Planning to inform planning decisions for youth activities and programs on the potential 11th Street Recreation Bridge.
The old 11th Street Bridges that connect southeast DC with communities east of the river have reached the end of their lifespan, and replacement bridges are now under construction. The D.C. Office of Planning along with several District agencies is exploring the idea to use the base of one of the bridges to create a park for active recreation, arts and environmental education connecting the communities of Ward 6, 7, and 8 including Capitol Riverfront, Historic Anacostia, Fairlawn, and Capitol Hill. Teens will create their own design ideas and programming concepts for transforming the old 11th Street bridge into a premier recreation destination. Teens will research ideas and activities for the bridge, study bridge construction and design, interview and survey residents, and discuss plans with District officials from the District Department of Transportation, Department of Health, and the District Department of Environment. On Friday, July 27, teens will unveil their proposals in a public program at THEARC.
WHO: Teens working with mentors – architects, engineers, planners, community leaders – to generate ideas to transform an old freeway bridge into a park above the Anacostia River
WHEN / WHERE: July 16 – 27, Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm 1922 MLK Jr. Avenue, SE Washington, D.C. 20020
WHEN / WHERE: Friday, July 27, 3:00 - 4:30 pm, Final Presentation at the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC), 1901 Mississippi Ave. SE, Washington, D.C. 20020
About the 11th Street Recreation Bridge Concept
For the last several months, the D.C. Office of Planning has hosted a series of community meetings to explore the idea of creating a new architectural icon using an old span of the 11th Street Bridge that can be a gateway to a healthier, connected Capitol Community. The 11th St. Recreation Bridge Concept has four goals:
· Create a "One City" icon, connecting the city over the Anacostia River;
· Envision a recreation hub that links the destinations along both sides of the river;
· Produce an exceptional design that meets community aspirations, focuses on the environment, and is self-sustaining in terms of operations and maintenance; and
· Generate community involvement in shaping the Recreation Bridge Project and seeing it realized
For more details about OP's 11th Street Bridge project, please visit www.planning.dc.gov.
About the Summer Youth Employment Program
The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is a locally funded initiative sponsored by the Department of Employment Services (DOES) that provides District youth ages 14 to 21 with enriching and constructive summer work experiences through subsidized placements in the private and government sectors.

In relation to the world economy, the EU and US are each other's largest trading partners, accounting for nearly 40% of overall global trade. Though they already wield extensive influence independently, greater integration will only serve to increase stability. The Streit Council believes that increased integration will only strength the economies of the two great powers as well as increase their ability to compete internationally.
The Streit Council believes that the transatlantic economy should work on fostering an environment conducive to economic integration and coordination. The EU sovereign debt crisis and the subsequent global economic recovery make this subject all the more poignant for policy makers to study.
Current information indicates that the transatlantic economy is very strong. The EU and the US both account for nearly one-fifth of each other's bilateral trade (which includes trade of goods and services), or what amounts to over $1 billion (€718 million) per day. The economic recession lowered trade levels dramatically between the two partners in 2009, but recent data suggests that trade levels are increasing. Steps have been taken within the EU and the wider transatlantic economy to lower barriers to entry and increase trade, including the creation of the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC), and expansion of the Open Skies agreement, but the Streit Council argues that even more should be done.
As a manner of refashioning the transatlantic economy to be more productive, the Streit Council encourages further liberalization of transatlantic trade, the development of the common market, and the establishment of an integrated monetary policy.

Monmouth Hawks (4-5, 0-2) – 72
Fairleigh Dickinson Knights (2-7, 0-0) – 63
WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Led by freshman Kayla Shaw's 13 points, the Monmouth University women's basketball team defeated former NEC rival Fairleigh Dickinson in the second home game of the season by a score of 72-63. The Hawks forced 31 turnovers and totaled 20 steals on the afternoon, while five players scored at least eight points as the team improved to a 4-5 record. Freshman Alexa Middleton narrowly missed a double-double, scoring nine points with a season-high 11 rebounds. Monmouth will look for its third win in five days when it travels to Eastern Michigan for a 7:00 PM tip on Monday.
"I thought we did a lot better on the defensive end in the second half. It's a challenge for us and it's been something we've worked on, being able to string together ten solid minutes of defense in each quarter, and I thought we came a little bit closer to that in the third and fourth quarters. We have to win games at home and take advantage of the home court. A lot of our younger kids got a lot of playing time today, so there's a lot to learn from in this one." – Monmouth head coach Jenny Palmateer
"My shot wasn't falling tonight but it was nice to be able to score in other ways. I made more two point shots and got to the free throw line. This game was huge because it was only our second game at home. It's good to get on a winning streak, and we're excited for the rest of the season." – Freshman guard Kayla Shaw
-The Hawks held FDU to just six points in the first quarter and Shaw ended the quarter with a buzzer-beating layup. Monmouth maintained a 36-30 into halftime.
-Tyese Purvis hit two threes in the first 12 minutes, extending her streak to nine games with at least one three-pointer.
-After Alaina Jarnot hit her second three of the game, Monmouth built its largest lead at 14-points by the end of the third quarter, leading FDU 57-43.
-Monmouth's bench outscored their opponent for the eighth time in nine games this season. The Hawks registered 38 bench points to FDU's 17.
-The Hawks had their best game of the season from the free throw line, making 19 out of 25 (76%). Their previous high was 16 free throws made in the first game of the season at Robert Morris, and have had single-digit free throws made in six out of nine games.
-Beginning with 3:33 left in the third quarter, Monmouth went on 7-0 run and extended its lead to 49-37. The Hawks maintained that lead for the rest of the game, eventually winning by nine.
-Five Monmouth freshmen combined for 41 points, 26 rebounds, 11 assists, and nine steals.
-Kayla Shaw went into double-digits for the fifth time this season, which is tied for a team high with Tyese Purvis.
-Rosa Graham had four steals in a span of 6:28 in the first quarter.
-Alexa Middleton's 11 rebounds are a season high, and she is now averaging rebounds per game.
-Taylor Nason was all over the floor on Saturday afternoon, scoring six points while adding five rebounds, five assists, and three steals in the win.
-Alaina Jarnot played a career-high 32 minutes, scoring 12 points, grabbing four rebounds, and dishing three assists.
-Senior Christina Mitchell recorded nine points and a career-high five steals while shooting 4-5 from the free throw line.
-For the second time this season, Monmouth forced over 30 turnovers. The team forced 30 in a loss at St. Francis Brooklyn, and forced 31 today.
Monmouth seeks its third win in five days when it travels to Eastern Michigan for a 7 PM tip on Monday. The Hawks will return home for four straight games after Monday, beginning with Providence on December 21.

My Brother, the Alien - Moonwalker
When I was growing up, I discovered my brother's big secret. I was forced to keep my mouth shut, by the threat of suddenly becoming extinct.
I made this discovery when I was about twelve, he was fourteen. This is how the conversation went:
"Ewwwwwwwwwwwww! What are you doing, Tommie?"
"Yes you are, I saw you pull something off the sticky fly catcher thing."
"No I didn't."
"You did, I saw you. You chased that shooting star last week, then you started acting strange."
"You're weird, Tessie."
"I'm weird? Normal people don't eat flies and grow scales, Tommie!"

Report by Matt Wall - stats provided and generated for harriers.co.uk by the Press Association.
Harriers took a deserved point from a deeply-frustrating night at Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday night as Chris McPhee's eleventh of the season ensured the spoils were shared.
With a little more than a minute on the clock in this one there was a half chance for Rovers as they started quickly, it was the experienced Steve Guinan who had it, as he took the ball down well before driving it towards Daniel Lewis who held well.
A little over ten minutes later it was his strike partner Reece Styche who tested Lewis as he put on a one-man breakaway, charging half the length of the field before trying his luck from 20 yards and drawing a parry.
On 17 minutes came the best of those early chances to take the lead and yet again it was a Rovers' effort - the ball running loose in the area to the onrushing Ross Dyer who drove towards goal and was denied by yet another Lewis stop.
You felt that for as long as the chances kept coming for Rovers without reply from Harriers there would be trouble and, three minutes later that proved to be true as the home side finally took the lead - another run forward just wasn't dealt with, and nor was the dash of Guinan who ghosted between defenders to nod past a stranded Lewis for 1-0.
To be fair the response was good - two minutes after conceding Harriers actually registered a chance of their own on goal as Lee Vaughan floated a great ball into the box that was met by the head of Jamille Matt who forced James Bittner into a fine fingertip save.
A lively first period flattened down slightly after such an eventful beginning but as Harriers continued to struggle in their quest for some real rhythm going forward, Rovers went close to a second as they drilled a dangerously-placed free-kick straight into a tight wall.
In first half stoppage time there was certainly a talking point. Lewis raced from his line to gather up a loose ball and, having collected it, took a pair of Styche's studs for his troubles. Somehow, the referee only flashed a yellow card as one of the most hotted-headed but fancied front-men remained on the field.
The visitors began the second 45 in slightly quicker fashion as, within a couple of minutes, Matt teed up a Chris McPhee outside the area who shot just over Bittner's target.
Sensing the need for change, boss Steve Burr made a double switch two minutes prior to the hour mark as Jack Byrne and Matty Blair came on to replace Jamille Matt and Callum Gittings.
Poor overall control of the game from its officials rendered the most part of the second half absolutely useless as it was a constant run of stop and start - on 70 minutes play actually continued long enough for Harriers to fashion a chance as Byrne headed straight at Bittner from a Mike Williams cross.
Some seven minutes later, Lewis arguably kept his side in it with another strong save as he got down well to deny Liam Enver-Marum, though just after the goalkeeper was beaten by a Styche finish that rolled just wide of the post.
Lewis' opposite number was given some work to do a couple of minutes further on as Vaughan quickly took a free-kick and drove one goalwards that the stopper was able to parry.
With just eleven left to play Harriers did their best to pile on the pressure and when Mark Albrighton teed one up from 20 yards, Bittner was at full stretch to palm it back out into play where his own man Dyer only narrowly managed to miss the open net with his attempted clearance.
Finally the visitors persistence paid off on 82 minutes as they found away through the Rovers back line - a beautiful, deft back-heel inside the area by substitute Nick Wright was enough to fool the hosts and set up McPhee who coolly found the back of the net with a neat finish.
Harriers had an amazing chance to steal all three points in injury time as Wright got himself one-on-one with Bittner on the break, the striker's effort from around 18 yards was well saved.

Chapter One
Fiona was practising karate moves. She was very strong, stronger than any woman. But destiny had a surprise for her… In the kingdom of Aria some one in a hooded cloak was watching her through magic. "She's perfect for the job!" he thought as he vanished. In other parts of the kingdom, Fiona's friends Marina, Chrisa and Ariaelle were dancing. They'd been waiting for the next time they'd meet up with Fiona again. Suddenly they saw a hooded stranger appear. "What do you want?" Marina asked him. He frowned at the tone of her voice. "I'm here to let you into a little something. How would you and your friends like to save the world?" he said to them. This confused them until a haze of bright light surrounded them and they disappeared. In her mind, Fiona had seen this in a vision and was nervous. Shrek had seen worry in her eyes and wondered what was wrong. "I don't know what but something's wrong with the girls." She explained to him. She watched as he walked off into the forest. While he was away, Fiona felt weird. She then saw a stranger appear in a cloak. She tensed up at this. "I won't hurt you. I just want your help, that's all." He said as a blaze of light surrounded her. She then vanished from sight. He then vanished from sight as well. Puss had seen this and was worried. He could tell something wasn't right.
Hours ago Fiona woke up in a fancy room. "Where am I?" she asked herself as she got to her feet. She then saw Marina come over to her. "What's going on?" she asked her. "I don't know Fi. That weird guy showed up and took me, Chrisa and Ariaelle for some reason but we don't know why." She told her silently. She then saw the man appear. Ariaelle and Chrisa were with him. They looked frightened. "What's going on here?" Fiona snapped angrily. Suddenly drops of rainbow coloured magic surrounded the girls. They felt different. "What did you do to us?" Chrisa asked worried. Marina looked at herself and gasped. She was wearing black, glittery clothes, purple striped leggings and black boots. She also saw powerful wings had spurtws from her back. "What happened to you? You look cool and can fly. What's up with that?" Aeiaelle asked her curiously. Fiona then looked at herself. She was wearing dark blue glittery clothes, green striped leggings and purple boots. She had wings as well. Marina had changed as well. She was wearing dark green glittery clothes, orange striped leggings and purple boots with wings. "What did he do to us?" she asked the man. "I united you. This is the kingdom of Aria where ogres and other mystical creatures live in harmony with humans but something is wrong. An evil woman known as Nassa is trying to take over Aria and get rid of the humans. Your job as the Protectors is to use your powers to stop her before it is too late." He said to them. This amazed Fiona. "We have powers?" she said to him. He smiled at this. "Yes you have powers. They match your personalities. Ariaelle has the power of Song and able to enchant anyone or anything. Marina has the power of Emotions. Whatever mood you're in becomes your power. Chrisa has the power of Imagination and is able to bring anything she dreams to life." He told them. Fiona was worried. "What about my power?" she asked nervously. "You have the most powerful one of them all. You're the Keeper of Heartus's Locket. It is filled with powerful magic and will always remain with you in your heart. You're also the leader of them." He said as they began to vanish. "What's going on?" Marina asked. "You must return to your lives until Nassa rears her head once more." He said. Marina, Chrisa and Arialle returned to what they were doing. But Fiona woke up in bed beside her True Love. "It was just a dream." She thought but her chest then glowed with a golden light. She gasped in shock. It wasn't a dream. "Are you okay? You seem a little freaked." Shrek asked her. "I'm okay." She said as she fell into his warm embrace. He could feel something was up with her.
Nassa watched the new Protectors live their lives and laughed evilly. "They'll wish they's never been chosen to save Aria from me especially Fiona. I could get to her easily." She thought as she prepared to face them.

Hamilton ready to scale his own Everest
By Alan Baldwin
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton will achieve the dream of a lifetime if he secures his third Formula One world championship in Austin on Sunday but he will then face a question as big as Texas: What next?
Like a mountaineer one step away from conquering the highest peak, the Mercedes driver knows he also stands on the edge of uncertainty as he goes into the U.S. Grand Prix.
Without wanting to preempt anything, go into 'ifs' and 'buts' or even acknowledge that the weekend felt in any way out of the ordinary, Hamilton recognized that he would have to refocus his career ambitions.
"I could imagine that, for me it would be like getting to the top of Mount Everest. I mean, what do you do next?" he said of the prospect of matching the three titles of his boyhood hero, the late Brazilian Ayrton Senna.
The answer for most would simply be win more championships and races, but Senna's triple has a particular resonance for Hamilton.
The 30-year-old, who has already overtaken the Brazilian's tally of race wins, has always wanted to win three. Not seven like Michael Schumacher, or four like Sebastian Vettel, but to do what Senna did.
As he said in Japan two weeks ago, he never aspired to be like any other driver.
"There's no higher mountain but there are equally tough challenges in maybe lower mountains. Things just change, so I really don't know," said the Briton, as he continued to ponder how he might react. Continued...

21 - Who were your parents?
Were my parents? My parents are still alive. I only live with mum though. Dad cheated on her and buggered off with some tarty secretary. Cliche, right? There is an upside though; they feel guilty and buy me nice things. It's great.
22 - Describe your sense of humour.
People have said I have quite a sick sense of humour but they don't know what they're talking about. I'm just like any other teenager. I enjoy a laugh... at other people's expense.
23 - What can't you live without?
My mobile phone. It's the new iPhone. Dad bought it for me for my last birthday.
24 - What 3 items would you take on a desert island?
My phone, make up and possibly Mia for company. Or Gabriel... No. Not him.
25 - Name 3 hobbies
Urm. Hobbies... I like listening to music. Fashion I suppose and... doing makeovers. I could be a make up artist when I'm older.
26 - If you could be anyone, who would you be?
Yeah, a world famous make up artist for A-listers.
27 - If you could travel to anywhere, where would you go?
America!! I'd love to go to California or a nice hot sunny beach!
28 - If you could be any mythical creature, what would it be?
A unicorn. Because they're beautiful and magnificent. Like me.
29 - If you could kill someone, who would it be?
I can't say on here. He will find it and he'll kill me first. No joke. Everything's top secret. I'm actually being serious, please don't smile. If he sees his name here, he'll flip.
30 - What, in your opinion, is the worst way to die?
At the hands of him. That one person who nearly ruined my life.
31 - What worries would keep you awake at night?
Well now we're on the subject of it, see above.
32 - What is your favourite song?
I absolutely adore Ed Sheeran. 'Kiss me' is perhaps my favourite song by him.
33 - What is your favourite/preferred weapon?
My brain.
Sorry I couldn't say that with a straight face. Urm, if I could choose, a nice little pistol. Does the trick and fits right into your pocket.
34 - What is your favourite food?
Niçoise salad.
35 - What is your preferred mode of transport?
My car. I love it. Have you seen it in the parking lot? Another guilt present from my parents. Sleek, black convertible.
36 - What is your least favourite smell?
Urgh I remember once after a house party I woke up gagging because the person next to me was covered in their own sick. It was vile. I'll never forget that.
37 - What is your worst memory?
I have quite a few. Believe it or not, my parent's divorce are in the top five.
38 - Do you have any defining features?
Urm. My eyes? They're large and chocolate brown. People say I have long lashes too. So yeah I guess my eyes.
39 - Describe yourself in 5 words
Fun, glamorous, loyal, determined and confident. That was hard.
40 - How would someone else describe you in 5 words?
Someone once called me vain, shallow and spoilt. Someone else said I was gorgeous. And I have been described as loud. But they were just jealous.

Her voice whipped out at me, lashing the corners of my mind as her harsh voice echoed in my head. Her eyes were drawn together, eyebrows mashing as she glared at me in fury. I stared at her, surprised for about a minute as she continued to match my gaze with anger. It took me a while to realize why she'd reacted the way she had.
Idiot, I thought to myself.
"I..." Gulping at the look on her face, I continued. "I would never do that to hurt you. Ever."
By the no change in expression, she remained unconvinced, her hands balled up into fists by her side.
"I honestly would never think of making your planet dry or invading it. The only reason I asked was of natural curiosity to know more about where you're from. I honestly didn't intend it that way."
Her eyes remained fixed to my face, searching for any sign that I might be lying. But she didn't find any because I was being completely truthful to her. Slowly, I reached out to her with my hand, waiting for her to take my own. And she did.
Smiling to myself, I lightly pulled her down to sit next to me again and watched her look at me curiously. Without a warning, she reached out timidly with one of her hands and ran it through my hair. My eyes widened in surprise but I didn't say anything as she continued observing me.
Your kind have such dull taste, her voice echoed softly.
I couldn't help but start laughing aloud when she said that. Dull? Really?
"Well you have purple hair. It doesn't get any weirder than that."
She seemed offended when I said that which made me laugh even harder.
Yet, sitting here talking to this stranger, I felt happy after such a long time of emptiness. She was different from us, I knew that. But I was starting to like her.

Insider Tips: Resolving Names in DNS
The resolver is the window from your computer to the global DNS system. Simply typing a URL awakens a link to computers all over the world.
Memory artists can memorize a list of over 300 numbers, but others might find it hard to remember even the four numbers that make up an IP address. Most people agree that a name is easier to remember than a number. The advantage of associating an object with an alphanumeric name is the real reason for the existence of the huge, globally distributed Domain Naming System (DNS), a system that links computer names and addresses around the world. The DNS system has been the subject of countless articles and books, most of them focused on the naming system itself or on DNS servers such as Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND). But on the other end of the connection is an application on a simple desktop computer that needs a means of contacting the server to resolve a name to an IP address.

LOUISVILLE (AP) A federal judge has denied prosecutors' request for a psychiatric evaluation of the woman accused in a plot to extort $10 million from University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.
U.S. District Judge Charles Simpson ruled this week that there was no "reasonable cause" to question Karen Cunagin Sypher's competency. Prosecutors had noted in asking for the exam that Sypher's former attorney was concerned about her mental state.
"Sypher's current counsel has not indicated any difficulty in communicating with his client or securing her cooperation in matters relating to her defense," Simpson wrote in the ruling Tuesday.
She has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of attempting to extort money from Pitino and lying to the FBI. Pitino has acknowledged a sexual encounter with her at a Louisville restaurant in 2003.
Simpson also denied a motion from prosecutors for a protective order that would have barred Sypher from releasing evidence to the media. Simpson says there's no need for the order.
Sypher's attorney, James Earhart, said the case can move forward now that Simpson has ruled.
Pitino's attorney, Steve Pence, did not return a call seeking comment.

There's been several theories on what killed the Australian comic book industry at the end of the 1950s. Some of them are very valid - publishers such as K.G. Murray, Horwitz and the Yaffa Syndicate clearly found it to be more economical to import material, and in some cases smuggle material into the country (that's a topic for a future post), and some theories no longer hold up under the glare of historical research - for example, Len Lawson did not single handedly kill the comic book industry. Comics thrived after Len was convicted in 1954 and it was finished when he was convicted again in 1961. So what helped kill the Australian comic book industry?
The relaxation of import restrictions appears to have contributed more than anyone has ever acknowledged. As soon as the ban on importing was lifted towards the end of 1959 Lilliput Productions cut a deal with Woolworths, a major retail shopping chain, to sell American comic books. Lilliput would import the comics and Woolies would sell them for a discounted price, comparable to Australian comics. But where the Australian comics were, for the most part, black and white and published on newsprint, the American comics would be colour, glossy and look more exciting. Once the deal was sealed all that was needed were the comics.
Lilliput duly secured approximately 4,000,000 backdated comic books from America and began the process of shipping them over. To give it some perspective, the population of Australia in 1959 was a mere 10,056,479, thus this was a major flood of product which had the potential to hurt the local market.
And hurt it it did. As soon as the details of the shipment became known in November, 1959, complaints were officially made to the Federal Government by K.G. Murray, Australian Consolidated Press (owned by the Packer family), Gordon & Gotch (distributors) and the Newsagents Association. The complaints were that the importing and dumping of so much stock would adversely affect Murray and ACP's own publishing of the same product, and would cause unfair competition for the newsagents and Gordon & Gotch. The import price on American comics had been set at 5 1/2 cents (American) and there was nothing illegal in what was happening.
Customs listened to all parties but ultimately decided in December, 1960, that no compliant had been successful. They then placed a nominal value of four American cents per comic as import, which meant that the comics, which by that stage, were in dock in Sydney, could be imported and legally sold. They were then put out on sale, cheaper than Australian products, at supermarkets and other outlets. The local industry took decades to recover from that blow.

Pedro Astacio's right shoulder is bothering him again, and Astacio, who was second on the Mets in victories last season, was flying to New York tonight for a magnetic resonance imaging test on Friday.
Astacio learned two summers ago, while pitching for the Houston Astros, that he had a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He never had surgery, and an injury to him now could send a tremor through the Mets' rotation. David Cone, 40, is competing with Mike Bacsik, Jason Middlebrook and the rookie Aaron Heilman for the fifth starting job, and they will be trying to fill two spots instead of one if Astacio has a prolonged absence.
For now, Jae Weong Seo will replace Astacio as the starter in Saturday's exhibition game. And although General Manager Steve Phillips has insisted that Donovan Osborne, who signed a minor league contract after camp started, is destined to start the season at Class AAA Norfolk, he could be a dark horse to make the staff. Osborne has thrown three shutout innings.
Astacio was the Mets' best pitcher for the first four months of last season, going 11-4 with a 2.95 earned run average, and their worst for the final two months, when he was 1-7 with a 10.80 E.R.A. Although Astacio struggled last season, he still pitched enough innings to earn a vesting option, and the Mets owe him $7 million this season.Continue reading the main story
Phillips said he did not think the discomfort Astacio had experienced for the past two weeks of camp was related to his dreadful performance at the close of last season. Phillips said he was ''not overly concerned'' about Astacio and that the Mets suspected he had biceps tendinitis, which is usually treated with rest.
Part of Phillips's optimism stemmed from the location of Astacio's current discomfort. The labrum tear was in the rear of his pitching shoulder, but this pain emanates from the front, ''which is likely to be only biceps tendinitis,'' Phillips said.
''Because the bicep tendon does connect to the labrum,'' he added, ''we just want to make sure we get a picture of what's going on in there.''
Astacio's labrum tear was diagnosed after he pitched four games for the Astros in August 2001 after a trade from the Colorado Rockies. He decided against having surgery and pitched in winter ball in the Dominican Republic that off-season to show that his shoulder was sound.
The Mets scouted Astacio there and signed him as a free agent. They have blamed the added toll of those winter innings for his arm wearing down last summer.
The results of an M.R.I. exam on Astacio's shoulder in January 2002 were similar to those from an exam at the time of his injury with the Astros. He has not had an M.R.I. exam in 14 months, Phillips said.
Astacio pitched well in his most recent exhibition game, holding the St. Louis Cardinals scoreless for three innings on Monday and allowing only one hit while striking out two and walking none.
He complained of discomfort after the team bus returned to the Mets' complex here. After the shoulder did not respond to two days of treatment, the Mets opted for further exams by the team physician, Andrew Rokito.
''I was surprised,'' Manager Art Howe said. ''We're better off taking the safe route. We certainly need him out there in the rotation.''
DAVID CONE, who pitched in his first game in 17 months on Wednesday, will throw on the side on Friday and most likely pitch again Sunday, probably for two innings. The bullpen coach RICK WAITS, who had triple-bypass surgery Monday, called Cone on Thursday to congratulate him. ''That was probably the nicest part of the day,'' Cone said. RANDY NIEMANN will replace Waits until his return, which is at least five weeks away.Continue reading the main story
