Every landlord and tenant should read and study the printed parts of their contracts before signing. They are just as binding as the parts that are written and contain jokers that have made enemies of the best of friends. Never sign a paper that you do not thoroughly understand is good advice that should be pasted in many a hat.

In that the dog gives a lesson to those people who do nothing, are always looking for recognition and pout if they do not get it. If they would only employ their time in something useful, they would cease thinking of themselves.

That the idea that Colonial housewives were marvels of industry is a myth is the opinion expressed by Miss Caroline E. MacGILL, instructor in political economy at the University of Wisconsin, writing in the current number of the Independent.
A modern housewife, says Miss MacGILL, works harder and accomplishes more than any Colonial dame. The belief that our ancestoresses were such prodigies, the author goes on to state, is because modern writers take it for granted that a single woman did all the work of the house, as the modern housewife does, while in reality three, four and often more women united in doing the work of a Colonial household.
The actual truth, writes Miss MacGILL, is that, save in a few instances, these marvelous feats were not performed by a one-woman-power household.
In the country the superfluous daughters of grown families hired out as help to their neighbors. And many families, both country and city, took bound children, bringing them up for the return that their labor would give. In an agricultural community and in the work of the house, these children were of great assistance.
Unmarried sisters, aunts, nieces, etc., Miss MacGILL also points out, were then not self-supporting and able to go out and make their own way in the business world as stenographers, teachers, nurses and bookkeepers. Instead they were dependent upon the bounty of some relative with whom they lived and whose household they helped to direct in return for their maintenances. All this additional assistance did much to lighten the labors of the Colonial housewife.

Joaquín Alonso: "We do not want to see ourselves out of the World Cup never again?
Interview with the Spanish National Coach
The Spanish Beach Soccer National Coach took stock of the 2011 season, in which his team participated in some of the most important Beach soccer tournaments, although being sidelined from the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2011. Getting back to the Global showpiece is precisely Alonso's main goal, as he himself highlighted in an interview to the RFEF (Spanish FA).
?How do you evaluate this 2011?
?Well it's been a bit of everything… We began the season playing the BSWW Miami Cup, and immediately afterwards we got started with the first stage of the Euro Beach Soccer League, in Bern, where we managed to win the tournament. Later, we went to the stage of The Hague and finally the EBSL Superfinal in Moscow, where results were not that good. It has been a hard year, as we found ourselves out of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, held from September 1st to 11th in Ravenna, Italy. Russia were also the winners there, just confirming their achievements at a continental scale.
?2011 was a really intense year, indeed, in which the team took part in competitive tournaments such as the Euro Beach Soccer League – Bern 2011, facing the likes of Italy, Switzerland and Turkey. What are your memories from that tournament?
?It was probably the best performance of the National Team. We are acknowledging that competitions are really leveled and it is the little details what makes the difference. We managed three wins out of three in Bern, but always with tight results. In the Superfinal, fate made us face hosts and later-champions Russia, losing the game 4-2 and seeing our options to the cup vanish.
?Spain took also part in the BSWW Miami Cup, although Spain lost three games against Brazil, Mexico and the USA. Despite the defeats, what learnings did the team get in that competition?
?We are trying to renew the team, and that was precisely the moment to give some youngsters the chance to play for Spain. Matches were again battled and we got defeated for 3-1against Brazil, a match we never lost face to. Against Mexico, the result was not satisfactory at all, and in our last game we lost to USA on the penalty-kick shootout. To put it briefly, it was a difficult beginning of the season, in which we could not count on some players and in which, at the same time, we began trying to give room in the team to a new breed of specifically-beach soccer players, a necessary first step to lay the foundations of a brighter future for the National team.
?In Moscow, the defeat against the hosts in the first match left you without any option to the Continental throne… How did the team stomach that?
?Quite badly, indeed, as when we hit a tournament, whichever it may be, we do it with our eyes on the cup. But it was not possible this time, as we lost the first match against Russia. We aimed then for the third place, but Romania blocked us the way, and in our last fixture, we never found our place against Italy. But we need to be confident regarding the future, as there are good elements in the team.
?What did you learn from this year?
?The most important thing is to have a solid continuity, both in training and in the competitions. Our problem is basically finding this continuity in competitions. We are living difficult times and in the Federación Española (Spanish FA) we are working hard to solve this…
?After this 2011, what is the level you think Spanish Beach Soccer is to be found in?
?Our level is high, there can be no doubt about it. There are important players in our team who are taking part in competitive leagues such as the Italian or the Russian championships. Our next step is to find that competition that gives us ground to consolidate more players in the future.
?And what are the goals for 2012?
?Undeniably, the main objective is qualifying for the next FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup 2013, as we need to fight to make Spain one of the candidates for the World Cup. It was our first time out of the tournament this year and we do not want to see it happen never again. We will begin the season in full excitement and we will work a lot. Our desire is to reach the places other Spanish National teams are reaching.

The thermodynamics of conventional surfactants, block copolymers and their mixtures in water was described to the light of the enthalpy function. The two methodologies, i.e. the van't Hoff approach and the isothermal calorimetry, used to determine the enthalpy of micellization of pure surfactants and block copolymers were described. The van't Hoff method was critically discussed. The aqueous copolymer+surfactant mixtures were analyzed by means of the isothermal titration calorimetry and the enthalpy of transfer of the copolymer from the water to the aqueous surfactant solutions. Thermodynamic models were presented to show the procedure to extract straightforward molecular insights from the bulk properties.
Conventional surfactants are amphiphilic molecules with polar head groups, which may be anionic, cationic, non-ionic and zwitterionic, and hydrophobic tails, that may be hydrogenated or fluorinated, linear or branched. Recently, some interest has been devoted to the new class of so-called
Attention has been also addressed to the family of polymeric surfactants which are copolymers with two or more blocks having variable monomeric composition. These macromolecules therefore offer the great advantage to be properly tuned by modulating the molecular weight, the composition and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic portions [
Finally, a peculiar class of surfactants is represented by the amphiphilic cyclodextrins [
Surfactants are interesting molecules from both the scientific and the industrial view-points because of their characteristics: 1) they are active at the interface (liquid/air, liquid/liquid, solid/liquid, etc.); and 2) at a given surfactant concentration, called critical micellar concentration, they self-assemble into nanostructures called micelles. Therefore, they can be employed to design and create nanostructures functional to various purposes (pharmaceuticals, enhanced oil solubilization, cosmetics, colloidal stabilization, Cultural Heritage, remediation technologies, etc.). Hereafter, a very few examples of their applications are illustrated.
In the field of the restoration and Cultural Heritage conservation, one of the fundamental steps deals with cleaning up the art-work. The conventional cleaning systems are unsafe because they are based on toxic and aggressive organic solvents. Designing cleaning solvents with a low environmental impact and safe for both the art-work and the operator is therefore an important task. The aqueous mixtures of conventional surfactants [ since the surfactants are active at the interface, they reduce the interfacial tension weakening the attractive forces between the solid substrate and the undesired materials (varnish, pollutants, etc.); the self-organized aggregates are able to increase the solubility of hydrophobic compounds; the interfacial area between the surface of the art-work and the undesired material is very large having surfactant systems a high surface/volume ratio; the micelles are matrices for entrapping organic solvents; surfactant solutions form gels useful from the practical point of view because the penetration by capillarity into the porosities or microfractures of the art-work is strongly reduced, the area to be cleaned is under control and the removal of gels is easy; the amount of surfactant to prepare such systems is relatively low so that the inconveniences related to the eventual residues after the gel removal and the cost of the operation are low; the high sensitivity to temperature of some polymeric surfactants may allow to apply the solvent mixture in the gel phase and to remove it in the fluid state by a slight temperature change.
since the surfactants are active at the interface, they reduce the interfacial tension weakening the attractive forces between the solid substrate and the undesired materials (varnish, pollutants, etc.);
the self-organized aggregates are able to increase the solubility of hydrophobic compounds;
the interfacial area between the surface of the art-work and the undesired material is very large having surfactant systems a high surface/volume ratio;
the micelles are matrices for entrapping organic solvents;
surfactant solutions form gels useful from the practical point of view because the penetration by capillarity into the porosities or microfractures of the art-work is strongly reduced, the area to be cleaned is under control and the removal of gels is easy;
the amount of surfactant to prepare such systems is relatively low so that the inconveniences related to the eventual residues after the gel removal and the cost of the operation are low;
the high sensitivity to temperature of some polymeric surfactants may allow to apply the solvent mixture in the gel phase and to remove it in the fluid state by a slight temperature change.
An example of the application of a surfactant system based on block copolymer and ligroin (a hydrocarbon mixture) [
The surfactant systems are successfully applied to the remediation of soil and water basins contaminated by non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). They are used in the
The study of block copolymers in colloidal systems for controlled drug delivery started around the mid-80s. Block copolymers micelles may optimize drug performance as they dissociate very slowly into the corresponding monomers allowing a longer retention of the drug and a higher concentration of the drug in the selected area. Block copolymers based on ethylene oxide and propylene oxides, were used for the synthesis of oil in water microemulsions to extract bupivacaine, which is a local anesthetic commonly used in surgical treatment, from a saline solution [
In the last two decades chemical thermodynamics [
Within this area, calorimetry has been revealed as one of the most important and relevant techniques, being sensitive even to rather weak interactions and thus the information provided may be unique. Instruments may cover a large range of temperature and pressure [
It is well known that micellar aggregates are formed as a consequence of the tendency of hydrophobic tails to escape from water and of the polar heads to maximize their contact with water. Therefore, the transferring of the surfactant from water to the micelles involves the desolvation of the hydrophobic moiety and the variation of the hydration state of polar heads including the counterions in the case of ionic surfactants. Therefore, depending on the nature of the surfactant, the enthalpy of micellization (ΔH°m) may be or not the driving force of the aggregation process.
Basically two approaches have been used in the literature to evaluate ΔH°m. The first one [
Usually, homologous series of cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactants show concave trends of the CMC vs T plots with minima localized at lower temperatures the longer the alkyl chain length is. Examples [
According to the pseudo-phase transition model [
where α is the degree of dissociation of the micelles. For non-ionic surfactants α=0 whereas in some cases, for 1:1 ionic surfactants α is stated unitary [
The ΔH°m value is calculated by using the Gibbs-Helmotz equation:
The CMC dependence on temperature is often [
where a, b and c are fitting parameters. By combining Eqs.
Indeed, from the thermodynamic view-point, the dependence of ΔG°m on temperature is given by:
provided that the temperature effect on ΔH°m is considered according to
where T and T1 represent a generic and fixed temperature, respectively, while ΔCp°m is the heat capacity of micellization.
If it is assumed that ΔCp°m is null,
Usually, the ΔH°m values obtained from
The literature ΔH°m values for conventional surfactants are usually obtained from isothermal experiments like enthalpy of dilution [
where LΦ (mS,f) and LΦ (mS,i) refer to the final and the initial states of the dilution process, respectively.
The surfactant in the pre-micellar region is described as:
where ADH is the Debye-Hückel parameter while B and C are the pair and triplet interaction parameters, respectively. By applying Eqs.
An example of LΦ vs mS trend for the aqueous
A different way [
where ΔH°s is the standard property.
Most of the recent data are based on isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments [
Modelling the enthalpy data is necessary to extract insights on the monomer-monomer and monomer-micelle interactions. Whatever is the model used (pseudo-phase transition [
where Lm and LM are the partial molar relative enthalpies of the surfactant in the dispersed and the micellar states, respectively; note that (LM − Lm) corresponds to ΔH°m.
XM is the fraction of the micellized surfactant given by:
where [m] is the concentration of the monomeric surfactant. In the case of the pseudo-phase transition model, [m] = CMC and ΔH°m is calculated as difference between the extrapolated values at the CMC of the LΦ vs mS trends above and below the CMC. It may occur that, for ionic surfactants, the presence of maxima in the LΦ vs mS curves renders not accurate the evaluation of ΔH°m.
If one assumes the mass action model [
where N is the aggregation number.
The fit of LΦ vs mS trend by means of Eqs.
The ΔH°m values [
Based on the above arguments, in the following the ΔH°m values, obtained from calorimetry, will be discussed. Several investigations on homologues series of surfactants, where both the hydrophobicity and the polar head nature were systematically changed, are known. As a general feature, the ΔH°m dependence on the surfactant alkyl chain length is a function of the polar head. In particular, it decreases for alkyltrimethylammonium bromides [
As concerns the family of gemini surfactants [
Block copolymers are macromolecules built with monomers having different properties. They may have a variety of molecular architectures depending on the polymerization process. Among them, the di-block and the tri-block copolymers have to be mentioned [
Among the block copolymers composed of PEO blocks, there are the tri-block poly(ethylene oxide)poly(propylene oxide)poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers which are denoted as EOaPObEOa where a and b are the number of the repetitive units of the ethylene oxide (EO) and the propylene oxide (PO), respectively. These copolymers are commercially available under the trade name Pluronics, have a low cost and are biocompatible [
The number of enthalpic studies devoted to the aggregation of block copolymers in water is quite reduced and, most of them deal with Pluronics. The methodology more commonly used to determine ΔH°m is essentially based on the van't Hoff method.
Examples of the plots of CMC
Some ΔH°m values were determined from the differential scanning calorimetry [
There is the family of di-block copolymers composed of EO units and styrene oxide (EOaSb being a and b the repetitive number of the EO and the styrene units, respectively) which exhibit an enthalpic behavior [
For the family of EOaSb, whatever the used methods are (van't Hoff or ITC), the ΔH°m decreases with the hydrophobic block tending to a null value for b=7. This effect was attributed to the reduced interactions with water as the hydrophobic styrene block was coiled in the unimeric state. Moreover, as already observed for conventional surfactants, the ΔH°m values obtained from the van'Hoff equation [
Isothermal calorimetry has provided a significant input to the comprehension of interactions between block copolymer and conventional surfactant in the aqueous phase. In the last two decades ITC studies on the aqueous copolymer+conventional surfactant mixtures were carried out. The ITC experiments are performed [
In a quite recent review, Tam
When the copolymer is preferentially in the micellar state a more complex situation takes place. In the surfactant pre-micellar region, the titration curve does not approach that of the surfactant dilution and generally exhibits a marked exothermic peak before merging with the dilution curve in water at a large MS. Under these conditions, copolymer-rich/surfactant mixed micelles are formed and upon increasing the surfactant concentration they disappear on behalf of smaller surfactant-rich mixed aggregates until to the complete copolymer disaggregation.
A few investigations deal with copolymers different from Pluronics. In particular, the EOaSb diblock copolymers in the presence of various sodium alkylsulfates [
The NaDeS/EO63S15 system is illustrated in
The enthalpies of transfer determined for PEO-PPO-PEO+surfactant system investigated different aspects: 1) the hydrophobicity [
Examples of ΔHt vs mS are shown in
The heat capacity of transfer function is a complex property being the derivative of the enthalpy of transfer with respect to temperature. For all of the investigated systems, the ΔCpt vs mS trend shows a maximum and a minimum. By increasing the surfactant hydrophobicity, the maximum becomes sharper and is located at lower mS values whereas the minimum tends to disappear as
In spite of the huge amount of experimental thermodynamic data available for copolymer-surfactant mixtures, only a very few thermodynamic models have been proposed for a quantitative treatment. A model which uses an Origin based non-linear function did permit to analyze [
A few years ago, De Lisi
where BPS stands for the copolymer-surfactant interaction parameter in the aqueous phase,
Another model aimed at interpreting the ITC data [
Analyzing the enthalpies of transfer, by means of the De Lisi
where the subscript i is replaced by C and M for the copolymer-surfactant pre-micellar and micellar aggregates, respectively. Furthermore, the minimizing procedure provides the stoichiometries of the mixed aggregates which, whenever comparisons are possible, well agree with those provided by SANS studies [
Detailed insights on the interactions between the homologues series of sodium alkanoates [
To take into account for the different amounts of EO and PO units in the various copolymers, the properties for the surfactant-copolymer pre-micellar aggregates were calculated as ΔYC/(2a+b) (remember that a and b are the number of repetitive units of EO and PO, respectively).
The increasing copolymer molecular weight slightly moves the dependence of ΔG°C/(2a+b) on the surfactant alkyl chain toward less negative values. The ΔG°C/(2a+b) for L64 is lower than that for F68 that is consistent with the L64 larger hydrophobicity (
The high and the positive values of ΔHC/(2a+b) and TΔS°C/(2a+b) reflect the surfactant and the copolymer release water molecules from their low polar moieties which interact through the van der Waals forces forming a micro-environment similar to that of conventional micelles. The increasing of the surfactant hydrophobicity causes the entropy decrease because of the larger constraints in the conformational state of the copolymer.
Although the effect of the polar head was not extensively studied, some interesting information can be drawn. By comparing the behaviour of block copolymers in the presence of sodium undecanoate [
Whatever is the copolymer nature [
As concerns the effect of the polar head of the surfactant, the octylpyridinium chloride (OPyC) micelles do not distinguish between L64 and F68 while significant differences were observed for the enthalpy and the entropy which are about twice for F68 [
This review aimed at providing a general overview of the issue of nanostructures consisting of block copolymers, conventional surfactants and their mixtures defined through the enthalpy function. The aggregation of conventional surfactants in water was analyzed to the light of the two methodologies generally used to determine the enthalpy of micellization: 1) the van't Hoff approach based on the determination of the critical micellar concentration as a function of temperature; and 2) the isothermal calorimetric method which determines the enthalpy function (apparent molar relative enthalpy, enthalpy of injection, enthalpy of solution, etc.) as a function of the surfactant concentration. The extensive literature data allowed to evidence the limits of the van'Hoff approach compared to the isothermal calorimetry. Although the block copolymers have been studied in a less extent, the available findings allowed to draw a picture on their enthalpic behaviour essentially determined by means of the van'Hoff approach. Finally, attention was focussed on the aqueous block copolymer+surfactant mixtures described through the enthalpies of injection and the enthalpies of transfer. The literature models used to analyze the data were discussed and their relevance for obtaining information at molecular level on the copolymer/surfactant interactions was highlighted. Furthermore, in some cases, the stoichiometries of the copolymer+surfactant mixed aggregates were provided and resulted in a good agreement with information obtained from structural techniques.

Château du Breuil produces calvados from the highly regarded French 'AOC Pays d'Auge' appellation. Unlike Calvados "AOC", Calvados with the AOC "Pays d'Auge" requires cider apples produced in the Pays d'Auge area and a double distillation. It makes a finer Calvados, due to the quality of apples produced by the local soil, and to the elimination of the roughest parts of the alcohol during the distillations. The Château du Breuil makes AOC Pays d'Auge Calvados only.
Ageing for a minimum of four years in French oak casks furnishes this calvados with softness on the palate and a deep amber hue. It carries the fruity elegance of the AOC Pays d'Auge appellation.
Drink as a digestif or try it with fruit salads or deserts.

Villagers in the Pewsey area flocked to Milton Lilbourne on Saturday to enjoy all the fun of the fair in glorious sunshine.
The Wadworth dray horses turned up in all their finery while the dancing poodles of Angela Richens delighted the crowds around the arena.
Alan Lamb, from South-ampton, brought his talented Newfoundland dog Berkeley along to show off skills which include playing the tambourine.
Bluebell Majorettes from Swindon performed their routine twice and White Horse Kite Flyers delighted the children by offering to take their teddy bears on a parachute jump, launching them from a kite.
The fun dog show was won by Edward Elletson, of Huish, with his collie Twiglet to receive the George Ferris Memorial Cup.
There was plenty of music to accompany the activities, from the Durrington Walls Wind Band. Pewsey guitarists played in the bar all afternoon and evening.
The six-acre recreation ground was filled with stalls and exhibits, including classic cars and vintage farm machinery. The food and drink stalls did a brisk trade as people tried to keep hydrated on the much-appreciated flaming June day.
Carol Parsons, of the fair organising committee, said all records of attendance and fundraising had been broken. She said: "We had a record number of people because of the weather and, although we haven't worked out a final figure yet, the money raised will have broken all records.
"We are supporting two charities this year – Prospect Hospice and Wiltshire Air Ambulance – and we hope to be able to present them with a good lot of money."

Eerie, Indiana - The Complete Series
This short lived prime time series was actually a good show. It was about two brothers who move to a town where really weird stuff happens. It was part thriller, part horror, part sci fi. Its a shame it went off the air so quickly. Fortunately, however, its on dvd. Unfortunately, its not remastered. Check it out, especially if you've got kids and/ or preteens.
Amazing show! This box set is a bit pricey, but its come down significantly from its original price of $1000. This is a show worth getting into.Tags: dvd, space, science fiction, movies, adventures, tv, drama, entertainment, filmsAdded 9 Years Ago from Amazon.com

As the world s factory China exerts an enormous pressure on workers around the world. Many nations have had to adjust to a new global political and economic reality, and so has China. Its workers and its official trade union federation have had to contend with rapid changes in industrial relations. Anita Chan argues that Chinese labor is too often viewed from a prism of exceptionalism and too rarely examined comparatively, even though valuable insights can be derived by analyzing China s workforce and labor relations side by side with the systems of other nations.
The contributors to Chinese Workers in Comparative Perspective compare labor issues in China with those in the United States, Australia, Japan, India, Pakistan, Germany, Russia, Vietnam, and Taiwan. They also draw contrasts among different types of workplaces within China. The chapters address labor regimes and standards, describe efforts to reshape industrial relations to improve the circumstances of workers, and compare historical and structural developments in China and other industrial relations systems.

ABC 7 Jim Gibbons 5K 2013
Lincoln Park
Thu 06/13/2013
3000 Participants
For the last 18 years, the ABC 7 Jim Gibbons 5K has proven itself as a landmark event in the Chicagoland area and is a major fundraiser for the Leukemia Research Foundation. Each June, more than 2,500 people gather along Chicago's lakefront to run, walk and raise funds in search of a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and MDS in memory of Jim Gibbons. Jim was a highly-respected 25-year veteran investigative reporter at ABC 7 when he succumbed to Leukemia in 1994. The actual event consists of the 5K Run, a non-competitive 3K Walk and Survivors' Strut and a festival type atmosphere. Participants enjoy food from Chicago restaurants, complimentary refreshments, live music from one of Chicago's well known bands, and the opportunity to visit the many partner tents on-site. This creates a great atmosphere for the participants to interact. With all this event has to offer, it becomes much more than just a race!

Product Highlights
Blank media like a CD, which is ideally protected when stored in a jewel case, have persevered throughout the digital age of recent years to continue being useful today. Along with the superior blank media in DVD's and BD's, these mediums continue to have relevance because of the fact that many people, when given the choice, would still buy a physical copy of something like a video rather than settle for a digital copy. And often times, these consumers will pay substantially more for the former over the latter. The reason is simple – people are still more prone to have an emotional attachment to something with a physical presence rather than something that only exists virtually. So, to satisfy such a need, buy LINKYO's 10.4mm premium standard single black CD jewel case.
This standard jewel case product is manufactured with 100% new high quality general purpose and high impact polystyrene. The premium quality of our CD jewel case ensures that it will be a top-notch product amongst its competition, providing superior storage protection for your recorded media discs. Also, there are clips on the inside face of the transparent HIPS part of the case that will allow you to customize your product with cover art or labels. Likewise, the GPPS part of this excellent case is a removable tray, which means you can also customize the backside.
Using this CD jewel case for your media-based products will provide a retro feel for your target customers or audience due to the cases' traditional CD album case look. Combined with the superior quality and inexpensive pricing, LINKYO's 10.44mm premium standard CD jewel case, on sale in wholesale bulk packs of 100, will be your best investment for protecting your optical discs.

There has been an interesting discussion about Google and search quality this week thanks to comments made by a Googler who suggested that a site with higher quality, better information is not always more useful.
Wait, what?
Hasn't Google been pounding the message of "high quality content is how you rank well in Google" in everybody's heads for years? Well, sometimes dumbed down is better. Apparently.
Do you believe there are times when Google should not be providing the most high-quality search results at the top of the rankings? Tell us what you think.
Web developer Kris Walker has started a site called The HTML and CSS Tutorial (pictured), which he aims to make a super high quality resource for beginner developers to learn the tricks of the trade. The goal is to get its content to rank well in search engines - specifically to rank better than content from W3Schools, which he finds to be lackluster.
"The search results for anything related to beginner level web development flat out suck," he writes.
"So the plan is to create a site, which I'm calling The HTML and CSS Tutorial, with the goal of winning the search engine battle for beginner level web development material," he says. "To do this it needs to have the best learning material on the web (or close to it), along with comprehensive HTML, CSS, and JavaScript reference material. It needs to provide high quality content coupled with an information architecture that will get a beginner up to speed, meeting their immediate needs, while allowing them to go through a comprehensive course of material when they are ready."
Okay, so it sounds like he's got the right attitude and strategy in mind for getting good search rankings. You know, creating high quality content. This is what Google wants. It has said so over and over (and over and over) again. The Panda update completely disrupted the search rankings for many websites based on this notion that high quality, informative content is king when it comes to search visibility. It makes sense. Above all else, people searching for content want to land on something informative, authoritative and trustworthy, right?
Well, not always, according to one Googler.
Walker's post appeared on Hacker News, and generated a fair amount of comments. One user suggests that higher quality sites are often further down in the search results because they're not as popular as the sites that are ranked higher.
Google's Ryan Moulton comments, "There's a balance between popularity and quality that we try to be very careful with. Ranking isn't entirely one or the other. It doesn't help to give people a better page if they aren't going to click on it anyways."
In a later comment, Moulton elaborates:
Suppose you search for something like [pinched nerve ibuprofen]. The top two results currently are http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pinched-nerve/DS00879/DSECT... and http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071010035254AA...
Almost anyone would agree that the mayoclinic result is higher quality. It's written by professional physicians at a world renowned institution. However, getting the answer to your question requires reading a lot of text. You have to be comfortable with words like "Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs," which a lot of people aren't. Half of people aren't literate enough to read their prescription drug labels: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1831578/
The answer on yahoo answers is provided by "auntcookie84." I have no idea who she is, whether she's qualified to provide this information, or whether the information is correct. However, I have no trouble whatsoever reading what she wrote, regardless of how literate I am.
That's the balance we have to strike. You could imagine that the most accurate and up to date information would be in the midst of a recent academic paper, but ranking that at 1 wouldn't actually help many people. This is likely what's going on between w3schools and MDN. MDN might be higher quality, better information, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's more useful to everyone.
Wow, so as far as I can tell, he's pretty much saying that Google should be showing dumber results for some queries based on the notion that people won't be smart enough to know what the higher quality results are talking about, or even capable enough to research further and learn more about the info they find in the higher quality result. If you're interpreting this a different way, please feel free to weigh in.
Note: For me, at least, the Mayo Clinic result is actually ranking higher than the Yahoo Answers result for the "pinched nerve ibuprofen" query example Moulton gave. I guess literacy prevailed after all on that one.
If Google is actually actively dumbing down search results, this seems somewhat detrimental for society, considering the enormous share of the search market Google holds.
Meanwhile, Google itself is only getting smarter. On Thursday, Google revealed that it has launched its biggest algorithm change in twelve years, dubbed Hummingbird. It's designed to enable Google to better understand all of the content on the web, as it does the information in its own Knowledge Graph. I hope they're not dumbing down Knowledge Graph results too, especially considering that it is only growing to cover a wider range of data.
Well, Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." There's nothing about quality, accuracy, or better informing people in there.
Hat tip to Search Engine Roundtable for pointing to Moulton's comments.
Should Google assume that people won't understand (or further research) the highest-quality content, and point them towards lesser-quality content that is easier to read? Let us know what you think.

Even if the Mycenaeans did not evolve the corslet, there is no reason why, in the Homeric times, it should not have been evolved.
The son of Priam hit the breastplate of Menelaus's corslet, but the arrow glanced from off it.
"On the trenches already," answered Sexwolf, buckling his corslet of hide.
He happened however to have on his horseman's corslet, so that he was distressed.
For him also he wrought a corslet brighter than a flame of fire, and a helmet with a golden crest.
I ran him through and found a Giaour corslet under his jacket.
Another plan is to maintain that if the poet does not in any case mention a corslet, there was no corslet.
It is more important that no corslet is mentioned in Nestor's arms in his tent.
The same archer pierces with an arrow the corslet of Diomede (V. 99, 100).
On the corslet, as we have seen, Mr. Leaf now writes as a disciple of Reichel.

The managing director of Brisbane-based information technology products and services provider
"I don't think people understand the scale of the devastation. It's quite dramatic and will have a long tail to it," he said.
"It's quite understandable for people to take a breath but we are confident the government's reconstruction program and business response to that will quickly drive reinvestment."
Mr Grant estimated that this would start to generate business for Data#3 within two or three months.
He was personally affected by the floods last month and is not expecting to be back in his Brisbane home until July after two of three storeys were inundated.
Data#3 yesterday increased its interim dividend by 65 per cent to 38¢ per share after delivering a record first-half result.
It posted a net profit of $7.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of 68 per cent on the previous corresponding period.
The strong result pushed Data#3 shares to a record high even though the market had been expecting the good news since management raised its guidance in late January.
Revenue was up a less dramatic 23 per cent to $377.8 million, reflecting that growth was strongest in more profitable lines of business, including managed and professional services. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rose 57 per cent to $10.7 million.
Looking ahead, Mr Grant said market conditions were improving but warned that it was still price-led and remained very competitive. Data#3 has set a financial objective for the second half – to at least equal its performance of the previous corresponding period.
Although this could be viewed as a conservative target in light of its stellar first-half performance, Mr Grant said seasonal shifts in revenue and significant investment in its own operations would mask strong underlying growth.
Data#3 has just signed a 10-year lease on larger premises in its home state while also making similar moves in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth that would significantly increase costs.
The firm has also invested heavily in technology to improve the efficiency of its own operations.
Permanent staff numbers were up 8.5 per cent during the first half to 650. Its contractor ranks swelled by 33 per cent to just over 300.
RBS Morgans analyst Nick Harris said Data#3's was the best result so far in the IT sector during this reporting period.
"Data#3 has always been a very well-run operation and they are starting to hit their straps as the market rebounds," Mr Harris said.
"They did a good job during the tough times and are now making hay while the sun shines."
Data#3 shares closed up 4¢ at $15.02.

Justin Bieber Gets to Work after Wild Weekend Party
While his ex-girlfriend ( Selena Gomez) celebrates her 22nd birthday in France, Justin Bieber took care of a few business meetings on Tuesday (July 22).
The "Boyfriend" singer rocked his normal style and had a big smile on his face as he entered an office building in West Hollywood, CA.
Meanwhile, Justin can't seem to catch a break as his neighbors in Beverly Hills continue to complain about the singer's wild parties. According to reports, the residents called the cops six times last weekend when Bieber threw a wild, booze-filled bash until four in the morning.
Despite the complaints, Justin wasn't cited for the complaints, but was given verbal warnings. Biebs is on probation after pleading no contest on July 9 for the infamous egg throwing case at his former neighbor's home in Calabasas.

Ski boots can often feel like instruments of torture, as if you've accidentally picked up some of Robocop's size 9s. And it's not just the ill-fitting ones – even the right-sized boots can leave feet cramped with the type of agony dished out in medieval dungeons.
Luckily, there is an answer. Manufacturers have been providing custom liners for years, but although they might improve comfort slightly, they don't do anything to adjust the hard outer shell. What you need is a tailored hard plastic outer as well as the liner – such as that found on Salomon's Custom Shell Falcon CS Pros.
Fore foot flexibility
The main problem area with ski boots is the fore foot; this is where most people complain of pain. Nearly all ski boots range between 96mm and 106mm across here, so there is only a 10mm difference between the ones that are eye-wateringly tight and others that are roomy buckets.
The Custom Shell Falcon CS Pro is 98mm as standard, but it is constructed with 2 panels, one either side of the boot that each have a 3mm adjustment range, pushing it to a 104mm.
Cook up comfort
The adjustment process is straight forward: the foot is measured, foot beds are constructed, the shell is put into an oven for 10 minutes, the liners and foot bed go in and you wear them for 15 minutes.
Once the shell has cooled it will be at the ideal width for the wearer. The final touch is to custom fit the liners too, then the whole boot fits as snug and comfy as your socks.
Review continued after the break...
Not for freaky feet
Once tailored, the Falcon Custom Shell Pros are a perfect fit for most people, but not everyone.
These boots are high-end technical performers and are just too narrow for the widest feet.
Those with mammoth plates will have to wait until next season when Salomon extend Custom Shells to other boots in their range.

Faneca,Alan (Arizona Cardinals) (5/10/2011)
OG Alan Faneca, who made the Pro Bowl nine times in his career, has retired, according to ESPN.
In a statement sent from Faneca's agent to reporter Adam Schefter, Faneca said, "After a lot of thought I am announcing my retirement from professional football. Playing in the NFL has been a childhood dream come true. Thirteen years later I have decided that it is time to move on."
A first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1998, Faneca played 10 seasons with the Steelers, two with the New York Jets and the 2010 season with the Arizona Cardinals.
In those 13 seasons, Faneca missed just two games.
Kindle,Sergio (Baltimore Ravens) (5/10/2011)
LB Sergio Kindle pleaded guilty Tuesday to drunk driving, but received no jail time or fines because he spent five days last week at local facility, the Right Turn of Maryland.
He was given two years of unsupervised probation and ordered to attend one or two self-help meetings each week.
A second-round pick in 2010, kindle never got on the field for the Ravens because of a fractured skull suffered in a fall at friend's home just before the start of training camp.
The drunk driving incident occurred on Dec. 26 when he was arrested after 4 a.m. and his blood-alcohol level was 0.17, more than twice the legal limit.
In college at the University of Texas, Kindle was suspended for the first three games of the 2007 season after a July drunk driving arrest. Less than two years later, he left the scene of an accident when he drove his car into a campus apartment.
Akers,David (Philadelphia Eagles) (5/10/2011)
PK David Akers' dream came true during the recent draft, but this wasn't a good dream.
The Philadelphia Eagles' kicker, who missed two key field goals in the team's playoff loss to Green Bay, had a dream about a month before the draft that the Eagles would pick a kicker.
In the fourth round, that's exactly what happened as the Eagles selected Nebraska's Alex Henery.
On that day, Akers was coaching his son's youth football team when his cell phone rang. He got the news from his agent.
Akers told the Philadelphia Inquirer, "My wife wasn't at the game, so I called her and said, 'Eagles drafted a kicker.' And she said, 'That's an answer to a prayer.' But I don't have an answer as to what it means."
Of course, he thinks he does, even though the team put a transition tag on him in February.
"Right now, I don't think I'm going to be back," he said. "It's pretty much that when you see a kicker drafted high. The writing's on the wall."
Akers knows he has plenty left in his leg. Prior to that playoff game, he made 32 of 38 field-goal attempts during the 2010 season and also had 23 touchbacks on kickoffs. He was also facing the prospect of his daughter undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous ovary shortly after the playoff game.
Still, he doesn't dismiss the possibility of returning to the Eagles.
"Whether it's time to get out of here and get into a new setting, I'm open to anything. My ego is not like, 'OK, I can't be here with somebody.' If they want me and we can work everything out, then absolutely."
Haynesworth,Albert (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
DT Albert Haynesworth entered a plea of not guilty Tuesday in Washington, D.C., Superior Court to a misdemeanor charge of sexual abuse. A trial was scheduled for July 11.
Haynesworth was not present in court, and his plea was entered by attorney A. Scott Bolden. A deal was rejected in which Haynesworth would have pleaded guilty to simple assault with the sexual abuse charge being dropped. Bolden said the offer from the prosecutors wasn't accepted because Haynesworth is innocent.
The alleged incident occurred on Feb. 12 when a cocktail waitress accused Haynesworth. Bolden claims the woman fabricated the story and said, "It's about money."
Robinson,Aldrick (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
WR Aldrick Robinson (6/178) was second all-time in receiving yards and fourth in catches at SMU. He is third in line behind fellow rookies Leonard Hankerson and Niles Paul for playing time.
Thompson,Brandyn (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
CB Brandyn Thompson (7/213) was a second-team All-WAC selection in 2010 and was the 2009 Fiesta Bowl's top defensive player. Might parlay special teams experience to win roster job.
Neild,Chris (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
-NT Chris Neild (7/253) is a run-stopper who will get shot at nose tackle where he started last three years. Mountaineers were second in nation in rush defense and sacks in 2010.
Gomes,DeJon (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
S Dejon Gomes (5/146), a strong safety and outside linebacker in college, has been told that he'll play inside in Washington's nickel and dime package. If he can prove himself on special teams, he could take a backup spot from holdovers Reed Doughty, Chris Horton or Kareem Moore.
Royster,Evan (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
RB Evan Royster (6/177), is a three-time All-Big 10 pick Royster and is Penn State's all-time leading rusher.
Jenkins,Jarvis (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
DE Jarvis Jenkins (2/41), a powerful run-stopper, will play defensive end in the Redskins' 3-4 scheme. He'll at least compete to start at the right end spot filled last year by Kedric Golston, who's a free agent.
Hankerson,Leonard (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
WR Leonard Hankerson (3/79) could help make up Washington whiffing on big receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly in the second round in 2008.
White,Markus (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
LB Markus White (7/224) was the JUCO Player of Year in 2008, a college end will move to outside linebacker in Washington's 3-4 system. Takes medication to deal with seizures.
Hurt,Maurice (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
OG Maurice Hurt (7/217) started at right tackle, right guard and left guard as a senior, the year he played his most for the Gators. As first offensive lineman drafted by Washington, Hurt has chance to compete for backup job.
Paul,Niles (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
WR Niles Paul (5/155) was the team's third straight pick from Nebraska and is fifth in receiving yards and sixth in catches in school history. He also did plenty of blocking for Helu, returned punts and kicks and covered kicks. The Redskins need receivers.
Helu,Roy (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
RB Roy Helu (4/105) is one of just six backs in Nebraska history to run for 3,000 yards, Helu has experience in a running scheme akin to Washington's. Helu, who runs 40 yards in 4.42 seconds, said he's best at cutting once and going. He'll push inexperienced holdovers Ryan Torain and Keiland Williams for playing time.
Kerrigan,Ryan (Washington Redskins) (5/10/2011)
LB Ryan Kerrigan (1/16) led the nation in forced fumbles as a junior and topped the Big Ten in sacks in 2008 and 2010. He could be the force Redskins lacked opposite Orakpo last season.
Smith,Steve (Carolina Panthers) (5/11/2011)
WR Steve Smith said he has not demanded a trade and that his goal is simply to be on a competitive team.
"I sat down with (GM) Marty (Hurney) a lot of times prior to the lockout. I am respected as a veteran amongst the players as well as the front office," Smith told Pro Football Weekly. So there has been dialogue (about his future in Carolina) prior to the lockout.
"Do I expect to be traded? Really ... to be honest, I am not sure what to expect. That's the truth. Could I see a situation where I stay (in Carolina)? In my mind, I have played out every scenario: I could be moved, I could be cut, I could stay or I could be locked out. Honestly, my family and I are prepared for whatever steps are presented in front of us.
"Carolina might say, 'You know what? We're going in a different direction and we don't want you to be a part of that process,'" Smith said. "I am a big boy, and I am ready for that possibility."
Conte,Chris (Chicago Bears) (5/11/2011)
S Chris Conte (3/93) played cornerback for three seasons, mostly as a backup, but switched to safety as a senior and became a full-time starter for the first time and was first-team All-Pac 10. Excellent height to match up with the biggest receivers but had only two career interceptions. Good speed (4.59 in the 40) but not great. Gets high marks for aggressiveness, tackling and run support but lacks some instincts and range as a free safety, where the Bears envision playing him.
Carimi,Gabe (Chicago Bears) (5/11/2011)
OT Gabe Carimi (1/29), a four-year starter at left tackle for the Badgers, had a total of 49 starts, and the Bears did not think he would be there at No. 29, which is why they made a bungled attempt to move up three spots. Tough, smart and hard-working. Might be better suited at right tackle rather than left tackle, but the consensus is that he could be in the starting lineup on opening day and has enough agility to contend for the left-tackle spot.
Thomas,J.T. (Chicago Bears) (5/11/2011)
LB J.T. Thomas (6/195) could contribute on special teams immediately and will need to if he makes the final roster. But Bears believe he can play all three linebacker positions, and they have only two linebackers under contract.
"I played on every special teams (unit) at West Virginia University," he said. "When I was younger, I played a lot of different special teams. As I got older, I was a little more valuable to the team, so I didn't play as many, but I was always on the punt coverage team and punt block team."
The 6-1, 241-pounder could be coming into a favorable situation since the Bears have only two linebackers under contract, although that will change whenever free agency begins.
"He fits us perfectly," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said. "He can play all three (linebacker) positions. He played multiple roles at West Virginia. We spent a lot of time (evaluating) him. We saw him at an all-star game, and he got hurt during that practice week, but we feel very, very good about his fit. Picking up a linebacker was a goal (Saturday), and he was the right one."
Enderle,Nathan (Chicago Bears) (5/11/2011)
QB Nathan Enderle (5/160) is a four-year starter with a 17-29 won-loss record. Best season was as a junior, when he completed 61.5 percent of his passes with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He had 22 touchdown passes last season but 16 interceptions with a weaker supporting cast. Played in a pro-style offense and is a student of the game and a hard worker.
Paea,Stephen (Chicago Bears) (5/11/2011)
DT Stephen Paea (2/53) was selected when the Bears traded up nine spots, giving up their pick at No. 62 plus a fourth-rounder (127th overall) to move up. Paea did not play football until his final year of high school in Utah after emigrating from Tonga as a 16 year old. Was the Pac-10's defensive MVP last season. Fits more as a 3-technique tackle and is undersized for nose tackle, but the Bears believe he can handle the nose because of his superior strength.
Johnson,Bryant (Detroit Lions) (5/11/2011)
WR Bryant Johnson, who had 18 catches all of last season, might be wondering about his job security after the Lions drafted Titus Young.
Said general manager Mayhew: "Young will have an opportunity to step in and be our third (receiver). We haven't had great production from that spot the last couple of years and we think Titus is the kind of player who can solve that problem." Johnson still has one year ($3 million) left on his contract. "Any time we draft a player at somebody's position, it doesn't mean anything for that player," Mayhew said. "They should be doing what they do all the time - which is giving 100 percent effort and trying to win a position."
Hogue,Doug (Detroit Lions) (5/11/2011)
LB Doug Hogue (5/157) played linebacker only two years at Syracuse, but the Lions love his speed (4.6) and athleticism. He will contribute on special teams next season.
Culbreath,Johnny (Detroit Lions) (5/11/2011)
OT Johnny Culbreath (7/209) could end up as a guard, but the Lions know that with his size and speed, they have something to work with.
Leshoure,Mikel (Detroit Lions) (5/11/2011)
RB Mikel Leshoure (2/57) is expected to be a power runner to complement the quick Jahvid Best. He amassed an Illinois record 1,697 yards last season. He is a very versatile and complete back.
Fairley,Nick (Detroit Lions) (5/11/2011)
DT Nick Fairley (1/13) is adding a mean, physical presence to an already mean, physical defensive line. The Lombardi Trophy winner had 60 tackles and 11.5 sacks last season at Auburn. He was the best player on the field in the national championship game.
Young,Titus (Detroit Lions) (5/11/2011)
WR Titus Young (2/44) was called "a stick of dynamite" by general manager Martin Mayhew. Young averaged over 15 yards a catch over three years at Boise State and amassed more than 4,938 all-purpose yards.
Green,Alex (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
RB Alex Green (3/96) rushed for nearly 1,200 yards in the country's No. 1-ranked pass offense last season. His pass-catching talents could make Brandon Jackson expendable as the third-down back.
Schlauderaff,Caleb (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
OG Caleb Schlauderaff (6/179) is a feisty player that started all four years at the position.
Jenkins,Cullen (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
DE Cullen Jenkins is expected to receive interest from the Redskins once the lockout ends, according to The Washington Post. A seven-year veteran with experience playing end in a 3-4 defense, Jenkins has said he doesn't expect to return to the Green Bay Packers after the team didn't offer him an extension last year.
Smith,D.J. (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
LB D.J. Smith (6/186) is a smallish outside linebacker that performed big for FCS powerhouse with 525 career tackles. Projected to move inside in 3-4 scheme.
Williams,D.J. (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
TE D.J. Williams (5/141) was Ryan Mallett's top target with the Razorbacks last season (54 catches, 627 yards) and gives Aaron Rodgers another receiving threat.
House,Davon (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
CB Davon House (4/131) is a good match for Dom Capers' opportunistic secondary. The four-year starter flourished in press coverage with 11 interceptions, including three for touchdowns.
Sherrod,Derek (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
OT Derek Sherrod (1/32) is another heir apparent for left tackle Chad Clifton after the Packers used last year's first-round choice on Bryan Bulaga, now at right tackle. Sherrod is athletically sound but will need to shore up pass sets after playing in a run-oriented system.
Guy,Lawrence (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
DT Lawrence Guy (7/233) is a five-technique lineman that started all three years before turning pro early.
Cobb,Randall (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
WR Randall Cobb (2/64) can catch, run, return kicks, and even throw. The possibilities are endless for Mike McCarthy in how to utilize the speedy and durable Cobb.
Elmore,Ricky (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
LB Ricky Elmore (6/197) was a pass-rushing standout ? he led the Pac-10 with 11 sacks in 2010 ? and makes the move from defensive end.
Taylor,Ryan (Green Bay Packers) (5/11/2011)
TE Ryan Taylor (7/218) was a productive receiver (school-record 36 catches for a tight end in 2010) and is ticketed for H-back role.
Bush,Reggie (New Orleans Saints) (5/11/2011)
RB Reggie Bush has found himself in yet another uproar over a tweet.
"Everybody complaining about the lockout! Shoot I'm making the most of it! Vacation, rest, relaxing, appearances here and there! I'm good!" he wrote. "Right about now we would be slaving in 100 degree heat, practicing twice a day, while putting our bodies at risk for nothing."
Bush, who has 1.6 million followers, later tweeted, "FYI last tweet was a joke! Relax people damn it's called sense of humor! Cry me a river why don't you..."
It follows a tweet last month that said, "It's been fun New Orleans," after the Saints drafted Alabama running back Mark Ingram in the first round.
Bush is due around $11.8 million in 2011, and he's expected to be asked to take a pay cut or be released once the lockout ends.
