Don't stay here!
Posted Sep 18, 2013Pros: 0
Cons: Everything
Dirty room. Didn"t want to sit on any surface. Dingy, dirty exteriors. Cirgarette butts thrown everywhere. Chipped paint & plaster, mildewy bathroom, filthy windows. Very noisy from Streetcars directly outside.
for Overnight Stay Before Destinationby Dave from NY
Okay for a night
Posted Aug 30, 2013 on Hotels.comPlace was fine for what I needed, one night as we drove out of town. But wouldn't really want to stay here much longer than that. The place was pretty dumpy for the price tag of $130 a night... Even at $80 a night I've stayed at nicer places... If your in a pinch it would do, but otherwise I think you can probably do better

Good Location
Posted Aug 29, 2013 on Hotels.comThe Beach Motel is conveniently located near the beach and with easy access to get to downtown San Francisco. the parking lot was kind of tight but we had a spot every day we were there.if I have plans to return to the San Francisco area, I would consider staying again at the Beach Motel.
Not Recommended
for Everyoneby Nan from CA
Never stay here
Posted Aug 18, 2013Pros: The neighborhood surrounding it is very pleasant. I will try another place in the area further away from the streetcar line.
Cons: New carpet and bathroom upgrade, but nothing is ever going to help the noise!
Location: Close to Ocean Beach, great coffe shop one block away
It's called Beach Motel but it is 2 blocks from the beach. No one mentions that it sits right next to the street car turnaround and the streetcars run from 6 a.m. Until midnight!! The noise is awful! This place hasn't been remodeled since 1950 something. Yucky tile, yucky carpet... I will never return.
Recommendedby A verified traveler
Posted Aug 12, 2013 on Hotels.comBecause we were on extended vacation and had to keep budget in mind, I chose the hotel. Also it was very close to Golden Gate Park, which I wanted to be able to walk to. If you like your room shaking all hours day and night, then this is THE hotel for you. The Green Line Train runs right by the hotel. If you like noise starting around 7:00 pm, then this is THE hotel for you. It is located right above a bar. If you like a room that has not been remodeled in the last 40 years, then this is THE hotel for you. It is a poorly converted apartment complex with boarded up fire places, soft spots in the floor, and staples in the wall. If you choose to stay here, then I wish you luck.

Good option if REALLY desperate for a room.
Posted Aug 7, 2013Pros: Nice little cafe at the corner. Two blocks from the beach. Across Muni "Judah" train.
Cons: This hotel needs a lot of work. Needs a complete renovation!
Location: Corner cafe slightly expensive but worth it, good coffee. Walking distance from the beach. Public transportation on same street.
Our room was too run down to feel comfortable in. Table wasn't clean. Jelly stains from previous occupant. Holes in almost every wall. All the doors were splintered and needed to be replaced. Nowhere to place your things in the bathroom. One giant visible hair ball in the drain. No DVD player. Didn't like that the motel sits right above a corner bar.

This paper presents interesting data implicating Myosin-V and, thus, the actin cytoskeleton, in mRNA transport. It adds important information to a growing understanding of the complex functional interplay between the microtubule and microfilament networks.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Murphy Institute' tag.
The following was submitted by Brandon M. Chiwaya (Murphy Institute '13):
After graduating from SPS in June, I reached out to Tanya Fields for a bit of career advice. Tanya (who you may remember from my last blog post was the commencement speaker at the spring 2013 SPS graduation ceremony) is the executive director of The BLK ProjeK, a food justice and community development organization in the South Bronx. About a week or two after graduation I sat down with Tanya over a cup of coffee to talk about strategies for career planning. As the conversation gradually shifted toward The BLK ProjeK, Tanya mentioned she was extremely busy planning the upcoming launch of The South Bronx Mobile Market, her latest project. In fact the project was growing so fast she was looking to bring someone new onboard to help mitigate the workload. Tanya floated a proposal to me to come work with her, to which I quickly accepted.
Since the beginning of the summer, the launching of the South Bronx Mobile Market (SBMM) has been the main focus of the organization. The SBMM is a former school bus, which has been repainted (in a cool paint scheme) and converted to run on used vegetable oil. When fully operational, the SBMM will supply the neighborhoods of the South Bronx with fresh, organic, and locally grown Hudson Valley produce.
New York state's 16th congressional district, which encompasses the South Bronx, was ranked number one in the 2011-2012 Food Hardship Poll and is the poorest of the 436 congressional districts in the United States. Combined with an over abundance of fast food and take out establishments, area residents rank among the nation's highest in health related problems due to poor food nutrition. This makes the work of The BLK ProjeK, and the SBMM all the more vital to the local community.
I hit the ground running on my first day at The BLK ProjeK. With the launch of the mobile market only a few weeks away, there was no time to waste. Creating a community needs assessment and survey to help understand the local attitudes toward healthy eating was my first assignment. Feeling a bit unsure where to start with such a task and halfway freaking out, I quickly reached out to a few of my former SPS professors for help. Professor Michael McNeil who teaches Research Methods and Professor Basil Smikle, Jr., who teaches Policy Analysis, were both willing to help out and give me some advice. Throughout this initial phase, it was incredible to know I was using skills and knowledge I'd acquired at SPS a few months ago in a practical application. In a matter of months I'd gone from sitting in Professor McNeil's 6pm Thursday night class, wondering to myself, "when will I ever need to know about survey sets?" to creating my own. I'd gone from writing abstract policy papers in Professor Smikle's class to drafting real research reports.
In addition to the mobile market, Tanya and The BLK ProjeK, have been working hard to turn a few vacant lots owned by New York City into urban gardens. Community organizing at this level presents its own share of obstacles. Canvassing neighborhoods, conducting bus tours, and holding community meetings requires an enormous amount of time and manpower. To help support the continued development of The BLK ProjeK, we will be hosting a fundraiser tonight, Thursday, September 5, at the Brook Park Community Garden. For more information about this event please visit: http://theblkprojek.ticketleap.com/an-evening-with-the-bus/.
To find out more about The BLK ProjeK or ways you can get involved and support our work, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 718.635.0951, and the next time you find yourself in the South Bronx be sure to keep a look out for the colorful school bus.
Brandon M. Chiwaya studied Public Administration and Public Policy at the Murphy Institute, and is a class of 2013 CUNY SPS graduate. While in school, he was a member of the 2013-2014 Technology Budget Fee Committee, and was awarded the CUNY Vice Chancellor's Excellence in Leadership Award. He is currently a Research Analyst with The BLK-ProjeK.
To all of the veterans, active troops, and military families in the SPS community, we thank you! Returning home and making higher education a goal is not always easy. We asked alum Armando Vega, and current student Enrique Diaz to share some of their thoughts on being student veterans.
1. What branch of the United States Military did you serve, and for how many years were you enlisted?
I was in the U.S. Navy, and I served honorably for 4 years (1994 – 1998).
2. What CUNY SPS program did you receive a degree in, when, and how has that changed your life?
I earned an MA in Labor Studies. My desire is to work in Human Resources and the Labor Relations department. My dream is to one day become the HR manager and or director of a reputable corporation.
3. Were your experiences as a student affected by also being a veteran?
Not really because I returned to school much later in life, and my classmates where older working class adults. I try to keep my veteran status private for the most part.
4. What does Veterans Day mean to you?
Veterans Day is close to being the most important day of the year next to July 4th. It is a day of remembrance for the sacrifices made by the many brave men and women that has enabled this great nation to remain free from tyranny.
5. What advice do you have for newly returning veterans?
To be resilient, and realize that the civilian world is not very kind to returning veterans, and that finding employment is very difficult right now. Keep the faith and seek help from the Veterans Administration.
Any additional thoughts?
For me to attend CUNY and earn my Masters degree was a worthwhile accomplishment, and hopefully I can use it to advance in my career.
1. What branch of the United States Military did you serve, and for how many years were you enlisted?
I served 6 years as a Religious Program Specialist (RP) with the United States Navy and 4 years as an 0111 (Administrative Specialist) with the United States Marine Corps.
2. What CUNY SPS program did you receive a degree in, when, and how has that changed your life?
Currently enrolled in the Public Administration Certificate Program, once completed, June 2013, I plan on transferring to Brooklyn College for a bachelor's degree in Political Science. Once I have earned my degree in Political Science, I hope to use it to advance my career within City government.
3. Were your experiences as a student affected by also being a veteran?
My yearning for learning was nurtured while I was on active duty. As a veteran, I now have more time to pursue my desire to learn.
4. What does Veterans Day mean to you?
It's a day of reflection. I think back to my time served, my friends and family who have served and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that I could live in a land where the only one holding me back is myself. All the opportunities are there for the taking.
5. What advice do you have for newly returning veterans?
Take advantage of any programs available to you. Use your GI Bill to further your education and make yourself more marketable. As sad as it is to say, being a veteran is simply not enough anymore to obtain a good paying job to sustain yourself and your family.
All across the country, states are facing budget crises and are looking to fix the situation. However, the focus of many of the "fixes" is to attack public sector unions and erode labor rights in general. The justification is that public sector workers supposedly have inflated benefit packages, and they must finally "pay their fair share." In reality, this is hogwash. It is nothing more than an excuse to bust unions, rollback social safety nets, all while giving tax cuts to the rich. On the Rachel Maddow Show, Naomi Klein brilliantly describes what is really going on. The recent massive demonstrations in Wisconsin, and the threat of a general strike by some labor leaders, show that this time workers aren't necessarily going to sit back and take the beating.
Most of the ant-union bills are happening under Republican governors. But working people are under attack, under the pretext of addressing a fiscal crisis, even under the reign Democratic local governments. In Providence, RI, for example, a labor-backed mayor recently handed all of the public school teachers pink slips. This was to prepare for firings and school closings that are said to be imminent and necessary to address the deficit. I just wrote something on the situation.
I propose one "fix" that would both help solve some of these economic woes and be fair. It focuses on going after those who bask in great wealth even during the economic crisis that they caused. We need to raise taxes on corporations and the rich. We need to collect the taxes that they owe and close the loopholes that allow them to shield money from taxes. The reality is that many corporations pay little to no taxes, and the rich pay taxes almost a third lower than they did in the 1950s—a time of great economic growth.
Yes, taxes need to be cut. We need to extend the tax cuts for the bottom 80% of the population–I would even settle for extending them for the bottom 95%. However, the top percentiles' taxes need to be increased, so here are a few reasons why we should raise (and collect!) taxes on the rich, not cut them.
First, history shows that they can handle it. In the golden age of capitalism–a time where GDP growth rates vastly outpaced those of the last 30 years–the top tax brackets paid taxes as high as 94% of their income. High rates lasted up until as late as the early 1970s, with them paying 70%.
Second, it is good for the economy and the budget. It provides government income that can be used to provided vital services to the working class–like unemployment benefits, subsidized housing and healthcare, increasing the minimum wage, etc.–as well as be a source of funding for infrastructure spending–which we need badly, especially in addressing the ecological crisis. Both of these things stimulate the economy and provide jobs. Providing the social services reducing inequality and decreases the chances of economic meltdown. It also puts more dispensable income in the hands of people who will spend it, increasing demand and stimulating the economy. Infrastructure spending will directly create jobs–that's an easy one.
Third, tax cuts for the wealthy do not create jobs at the level we need, if any at all. Wealthy people do not put their money into the economy the same way that working class and middle income people do. They are more likely to save it or sit on it to wait for more profitable times in the market. For example, reports came out recently stating that non-financial companies are sitting on over a TRILLION DOLLARS. Yet, they are not hiring people. This is because they don't have confidence in the market. They don't think they'll make the profits the want. Here's the link to the article.
What we need is a high road, wage-led growth, not low road, profit-led growth. The latter is what we've had since the 70s–the neoliberal era. This can be done in the short term by providing adequate fiscal stimulus–much, much, larger than has already been provided–and taxing the wealthy and cutting wasteful spending can pay for it (a few wars come to mind). Also, the government needs to have a more active role in creating jobs through infrastructure spending, etc. Trickle-down economics just doesn't work.
But here's the catch. It is going to be difficult to for anything to happen on the federal level in the next two years. We couldn't get meaningful economic legislation passed under a Democratic majority, never mind under a Republican controlled house. We need to consolidate our forces on the ground and build so we can pressure for change from below now, as well as get some people elected in 2012. This does not, however, suggest extending tax cuts for the wealthy and cutting spending on social programs becomes the only option. That will only exacerbate the crisis even more. We need to buckle down and make sure that they DON"T get extended, that labor rights are not taken away, that teachers don't get fired, and defend all of the other programs that are good–like social security. Also, there is room for us to wage battles on the state level. If we show our power in the streets, as they have done in Wisconsin, we can make them listen to us. A state-wide or nation-wide general strike certainly would shift some power to our hands.
The first step is to break away from the narrative that says solving the economic crisis "will require shared sacrifice across our community," to quote Providence, RI's Mayor Taveras. Working people are always sacrificing. It's time for those who caused the current crisis—and for those who benefit from the perpetual crisis working people face laboring under an oppressive system like capitalism—to pay. Let's draw a line in the sand and pick sides. Which side will you choose?

While the relationship between President Obama's administration and labor has at times appeared strained, there have been significant steps made toward fulfilling campaign promises and the broader labor agenda, but there is plenty of unfinished business.
This was the theme of a special breakfast forum, "Labor Under Obama," on Friday, Jan. 21, at the Murphy Institute, part of the CUNY School of Professional Studies.
The presentation and lively discussion were led by Bill Samuel, director of government affairs at AFL-CIO, and Anne Marie Lofaso, associate professor of law at West Virginia University College of Law.
Samuel's presentation included an examination of labor's relationship with the administration and what is likely to happen in the wake of the recent midterm elections, labor's expectations and demands, and missed opportunities on the part of both labor and the government.
Lofaso offered a retrospective analysis of the government's performance with regard to labor, how it has fared in terms of protecting worker rights and job security, the key appointments and interventions in the labor market, and legislative actions that have been of particular importance to unionization and to working people.
Lofaso said that although Obama missed many legislative opportunities, he has made excellent executive appointments that help labor. Further, she said, Obama's less publicized actions show his support for labor.
Samuel praised Obama as the best educated president on labor the country has had, but he also pointed out that among the challenges that the president faces are some immovable objects on Capitol Hill on labor issues, such as the Free Choice Act.

"There's class warfare, all right, but it's my class, the rich class, that's making war, and we're winning." –Warren Buffet
Almost four years to the day after billionaire Warren Buffet candidly spoke those words, a bailout package was agreed upon by the European Union and IMF to give to Ireland[i], at the tune of $89. 4 billion (euro67.5 billion) in loans. It is meant to help the country with its massive banking crisis that has sent the Celtic Tiger crawling back to its cage. The money, however, comes with some conditions.
First, Ireland will have to repay the money at an average 5.8% interest rate, which is higher than the 5.2% Greece agreed to pay out. In other words, it is an astronomically high and unfair rate to enforce. Even with reasonable growth, it would be unaffordable. Speaking of growth, what are the other conditions?
Second, the EU and the IMF will require that Ireland engage in fiscal austerity. With the pretext of reducing the deficit, the government will have to basically cut social spending. This is going to have horrendous effects on the Irish economy, especially affecting the working class. Economist Robin Hahnel said, "This is going to do nothing but aggravate the recessionary pressures within those economies and … increase their rates of unemployment. Production is going to drop further, income will drop and that means tax revenues are going to drop." But, hey, what really is important is that the private investors and the richer nations, like Germany and the United States, get their money back. Also part of this austerity program involves raising the sales, or value-added, tax to 23 percent, while the government pledges not to raise the already low corporate tax from 12 percent. Political economist Leo Panitch describes this situation of inequality, and how the United States corporations play a role:
And I might point out that the American corporations that have been the largest investors in Ireland in terms of manufacturing investment and exports from Ireland are threatening they'll pull out unless this 12 percent corporate tax is maintained. So you see the enormous class inequity that's built into this, the enormous demonstrations that have taken place in Ireland. And they're not new.
This is where Buffet's brutally honest words come in. The conditions of this bailout, and the circumstances that created the need for a bailout, amount to nothing less than class warfare; and unless popular forces can resist it, the capitalists and their states who are waging it are going to come out on top, at the expense of the great majority of the population.
It is here that the Irish people have a chance to shine, and they have already been getting the ball rolling. On November 3rd, tens of thousands of students from all over Ireland flooded the streets of Dublin to protest the proposed increase of registration fees, even resulting in an occupation of the Department of Finance. On November 27th, over a 100,000 people came out on the streets of Dublin to protest the austerity measures. It was organized by the mainstream, moderate trade union leaders, but they did so knowing that they had to—the people were angry. Moreover, leftwing forces showed a strong showing, pointing out that more radical action is required if the Irish people are to weather the storm. Furthermore, the Irish people can shine if they are able to mobilize even greater numbers of people, and create a situation where their voices are not only heard but action in their favor is taken.
To do this, they need a plan of action and an alternative. Given the likely effects on the economy due to austerity, described above, Ireland's best bet, according to economist Dean Baker, is to learn from Argentina and default on its debt and break from the euro. He says,
Ireland should study the lessons of Argentina. Breaking from the euro would have consequences, but it is getting increasingly likely that the pain from the break is less than the pain of staying in…What the people of Ireland and every country must realize is that if they agree to play by the bankers' rules, they will lose.
Then, Ireland should nationalize its banking system and turn it into a public utility under the democratic control of the populace. This does not mean merely putting public money into banks while demanding no executive powers. Panitch, discussing such a proposal for all countries, says, "I mean taking the banks properly into public ownership and changing the function of the banks, as Mitterrand did not do in France in the 1980s, so that the criteria on which they invest are redefined as social purposes, to be democratically determined."
The people of Ireland are at a crossroads. They can accept austerity and watch their economic situation deteriorate; or they can take bold action and do what is necessary to limit the long-term suffering of the majority, as well as protect against further crises. They have the opportunity to set an example for the countries that are next on the austerity hit list—notably Spain and Portugal—and for the people in the richer countries, like the United States, as well. They can show us that when Warren Buffet's class, the rich, capitalist class, wages war on the working class, there will be resistance, and we do have an alternative.[ii] Will they be able to exclaim with confidence, "We won't pay! We will win!"?
[i] For the sake of this blog, I will use the term "Ireland" to describe the 26 counties that compromise the south of Ireland but are referred to as the "Republic of Ireland." The true Republic of Ireland also consists of the 6 counties of Northern Ireland that are still under colonial British rule. Many of the progressive forces fighting austerity also seek a united 32 County Ireland, myself included.

Today is Election Day, and we could quite possibly see many changes in Congress and in governships. It's just not the kind of change that President Obama and his supporters were hoping for. See, the Democrats are on track to lose seats in both the House and the Senate, with a very good chance of losing control of one or both of them. The writing has been on the wall for months, as unemployment continues to remain high and foreclosures hit record numbers. This has made people angry, very angry, and they are targeting their anger at the party in power—the Democrats.
The most visible, and I stress visible, example of citizen outrage has been the Tea Party. Some have argued that their size and strength are not as massive as the media has made it out to be. Regardless, their message has received immense media coverage. Tea Party supporters not only call for a reduction in government spending and tower taxes but also accuse the President of being a socialist. The latter, and of course the former, are most vocally expressed by Fox News personalities like Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck.
The first casualty of voter backlash happened in January, in Massachusetts, when Republican Scott Brown, in a special election, won the vacant U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Ted Kennedy—a hero among liberal Democrats. Brown campaigned on a platform that railed against the healthcare bill and decried the woes of government spending. Now enter organized labor.
The very next day, the president of the AFL-CIO, Rich Trumka, released a video discussing the results in Massachusetts. He rightfully pointed out that pundits in the corporate media were going to attribute the outcome to voters punishing the Democrats for overreaching in policy-making, when the opposite is true. For example, on issues like healthcare, many Americans feel that the bill did not go far enough! Trumka stressed that working people feel like Wall Street and the bankers are being taken care of but working people are not. He said that Scott Brown's victory should be a wake-up call to both Democrats and Labor. It signaled that people want action and not excuses. It was an excellent address. However, what kind of action would Labor take as part of their wake-up call?
Well, even before the Brown victory, Trumka threatened to cut support for Democrats who didn't push for a more comprehensive healthcare bill and who didn't back the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Specifically concerning healthcare, Trumka issued a threat:
Well, we need to send them a special message: it's that you may have forgotten what the labor movement did to get you elected; but, by God, we never will! And if you stab us in the back on health care this year don't you dare ask us for our support next year!
Fast forward to the present. What has happened? Healthcare passed without a public option, EFCA is not even being talked about, and the government is not taking adequate measures to spur job creation—like something along the lines of a public works project of some sort. Then, don't forget that we have two wars going on and something called climate change. Oh, boy! Watch out! Labor must be planning to run more progressive candidates against Democratic incumbents who did not follow through, right? Wrong.
Instead, all of the blame is being put only on Republicans and Fox News. Labor is scrambling, at the tune of millions of dollars, to get the very same Democrats who should be on the chopping block re-elected. Is it just me, or is there something wrong with this situation? Didn't these people betray us?
I am in no way advocating that Labor throw their support behind the Republicans as a way to smite the Democrats. I am saying that if Labor truly wants to fight on behalf of working-class people, it needs to be able to flex its muscle and make good on its promises (and threats). Otherwise, our elected officials have no reason to listen to us. As Trumka, himself, noted, Americans truly want change in a progressive direction. The labor movement should be at the forefront of providing a vehicle for that change, and to get on that path, the unions out there might want to question their relationship to the Democratic Party.
I would also like to make a suggestion to labor leaders and rank-and-file workers, alike. We should always work to get the most pro-labor candidates in office, but time after time, we see politicians fall very short on their promises. There is a way, however, to increase the chances that our voices are heard and our demands met. And that way is to mobilize the power we have as workers outside of the ballot box. Sometimes we need to vote with our feet in the streets. We could definitely learn from our fellow workers in France about that.

The autopsy on Roy Alfred Samsel, 80, has revealed the Corsicana man died of injuries from burns after trying to light a gas-fired heater.
Around 8:49 a.m. on Nov. 24, Samsel was trying to light a gas heater in his home in the 2200 block of West Park Row when it flared up on him.

He died in Dallas, and an autopsy was performed at Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences.
"No foul play is suspected. It was an accidental death," said Police Chief Randy Bratton. "His death was due to thermal injuries — the burns."
Funeral services for Samsel were this past weekend at Resthaven Memorial Park. - More Latest News Headlines

But how do you focus so as to live in the Spirit's power? I am still trying to figure this out.
I've not forgotten this comment of a few blogs back carries significant importance. How many of us continue to probe the realm of Holy Spirit power?
When I moved to Memorial Drive in 1977 I soon found myself teaching a class on the Holy Spirit. I did an awful job. I knew nothing about Him and it beats me as to why I would dare pick such a topic. We increased only in confusion. I took two more stabs at the subject over the next couple of years and the results were the same. I was humiliated and embarrassed at failing to teach this subject well. However, a fourth try changed Memorial and me forever.
I proposed to the class that we had failed three previous studies because we kept discussing what the Holy Spirit did not do. This fourth-time-around class would not be allowed to discuss what the Spirit does not do….we had covered that thoroughly. We could only talk about what He currently does. I was astonished at what the class contributed in discussion which I didn't see coming. I made notes each session as they pointed to something newly discovered. This study changed us, our church, and our spiritual world. And keep in mind, it all came from the Bible.
Soon after I wrote a book, The Holy Spirit Makes No Earthly Sense (now reprinted as Empowering the Ordinary) discussing the fact that we could not previously understand the Spirit because we kept trying to understand Him by earthly measures. Now, to answer "Free's" question, the way to come upon the power of the Spirit is to read about it from the very Word He inspired. Mine is not intended to be a cliché-ick answer. It is the answer.
Refuse to study what He doesn't do. Look at the Word to see what He says He does do. Just do a cross-reference study on this. I'll give you two texts to get you going: II Corinthians 3:4-5 and Ephesians 3:14-21. Let this Word look at you and study you (Hebrews 4:12). Look at the Word. It explodes with news of the Holy Spirit empowering plain people….today.
Don't be afraid to fail as you wrestle with this study. I am still in kindergarten in it; but how I enjoy learning that the Living God not only resides in us, but also works from within us!
4 comments:
what a great attitude to take in regards to our feable attempts to understand God! Focusing upon all He does gives more than enough material to cover that we never get around to the petty things we think He doesn't do....thank you for your insight and daily encouragement to so many of us!
- Roger L. Thompson said...
Thank you for your study and your willingness to write and share with others your discoveries. I have taught Empowering the Ordinary in the Ukraine and in the United States. I have witnessed individuals and entire congregations transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am thankful that we are now focusing on what the Holy Spirit can do and does do everyday in our lives.
Roger T. - 6:18 PM
Thanks for your time, great post.

Recently I bookmarked a good entry level SEO glossary of current SEO terms. A few weeks ago I complained about some people still using obsolete and inaccurate SEO terms such as "keyword density".
Additionally, I missed many new or important terms on this list which I read about and often use, but many people, on the Web at least, don't. Thus I won't assume that everybody knows them already. Instead I want to define here 30 (new) SEO terms you have to know in 2011.
Some of them have been around for years but have been largely ignored by the SEO industry. Others are well known by SEO practicioners but completely off the radar for the general public, it seems. Last but not least there are terms from adjacent industries we now have to deal with in SEO. It's 2011 – we have flying cars by now! – so it's time to adopt new terminology as well.
Most of you probably know what a 404 code is. SEO pros use 301 redirects as well. What is a 503 though? It's a code telling the Google bot that a site is temporarily unavailable and not broken for good. You need it when performing site maintenance resulting in downtime. See:
A/B Testing
The process of comparing two (or more) versions of a page to find out the best performing one, i.e. the one that is yielding the highest conversion rate. See:
Advanced segments
Advanced segments allow you to show only particular parts of your site's traffic in a Google Analytics report. You can customize and save them to return to the same report again. If you are serious about SEO, you use them all the time. A common advanced segment is social media traffic, for instance. See:
Citation is the equivalent of a link for local SEO, but of course it's not really the same as a link. It's more a mention and a link on a site that is relevant for the Google Places algorithm. In a way, citations are even harder to get than links, as only a select few sites get counted for citations. See:
Content farm
A content farm is a site, often a huge one, that produces large amounts of keyword laden, low quality content to flood the search engines. Blekko and Google consider them to be almost as bad as webspam. See:
Via @mmhemani
Content marketing
Content marketing is a new term describing all the means to promote your site online, be it text, images, video or other "rich media". Content marketing replaces, to some extent, simple copywriting. See:
Conversion Rate Optimization, or CRO for short, is sometimes referred to as conversion optimization, and is the art and science of streamlining traffic once it reaches your site. In other words, it's a set of techniques to make the user do what you want them to do on your site, e.g. clicking ads, subscribing, buying. See:
Deep link ratio
Any site with a natural link profile has at least some links leading to its content that is not the homepage itself. Back in the days, overzealous SEO practicioners would build hundreds or thousands of links to a website's homepage, leading to a very low deep link ratio and thus being obviously "over optimized". See:
Editorial links
Editorial links are not links in the editorial but links set by site owners, bloggers or content creators within a text itself. Also, editorial links are mostly natural in that they are given voluntarily (in contrast to paid links). While many people talk about paid links even years after they have been discounted by Google, most SEO pundits still rarely use the term 'editorial links'. See:
Internal link hub
An internal link hub is a very important page on your site which has collected many inbound links from other sites, and thus can have a big impact on the overall distribution of your site's authority. See:
Intelligent content
The definition of intelligent content is not one you can summarize in one sentence I'm afraid. Intelligent content has many characteristics, like being available in many formats, on many platforms and readable on different devices. See:
A jaamit is a very strong link, a human bond that results in a link on a website. A jaamit is a link that outlasts the link building efforts or even the link builder. A jaamit link reflects trust, friendship, mutual respect and overall appreciation.
As far as I understand, LDA or "Latent Dirichlet Allocation" refers to the way a search engine might analyze word combinations or context on a page. Example: a page about the sky would also contain the words "blue", "limit", "high", "reaching", "scraper". So Google might expect these terms to appear, while on a low quality page they wouldn't. I'd be glad to find a better definition somewhere though. See:
Link decay
Link decay is the process of a link losing its value over time. See:
Link equity
Link equity is like the link budget you have on a site and the way you spend it. Do you waste it on linking to the wrong places or in the wrong way? See:
Micro conversions
While conversions ofter refer to major goals a website can have, micro-conversions can reflect any goals you choose to measure user engagement with your site – something like a lead, a sale or at least a subscription. A time on site of more than 5 minutes could be a micro-conversion, or a third returning visit. See:
Microformats is a term describing a set of standards to annotate web sites in order to make them machine readable. For instance, you can tell search engines what an address is using a microformat. See:
Via @leeodden
Natural links
Natural links are links by people whom you haven't asked for a link. If somebody decides to link to you out of the blue without being asked to do so, the link is natural. See:
QDF stands for the Query Deserves Freshness algorithm by Google, which determines the ranking for newly important queries. Breaking news is a good example. In many cases, a blog or news site can outrank old authority sites for a keyphrase because the QDF algo determines that they are the most current source on that subject at that moment. See:
QR Code
A QR code is used to enable mobile phones to read symbols from print material. They are real life links or additional data. See:
Relevant links
Relevant links are – in theory – links which have a topical connection to your site, e.g. a link from a travel site to a hotel. While the concept of relevant links is controversial in the SEO industry, it's important to know that some links are more relevant than others. See:
Rich snippets
Rich snippets are based on the RDF format or microformats mentioned above. They are machine readable codes and provide additional information that is displayed in Google search results. See:
Sales funnel
While the idea of a sales funnel is not new, it has entered the SEO arena quite recently. The sales funnel can be tracked and influenced on websites. I can't explain it in one sentence though; you have to see it to understand the idea/metaphor. See:
Semantic means "dealing with meaning". Semantic search and SEO has been around for a while but it's still nascent. Bing uses some semantic technologies from the semantic search engine Powerset which it acquired. Google, in contrast, doesn't understand the meaning of a web document yet. It just analyzes the keywords contained in it. A semantic search engine can, for example, distinguish between spears and Britney Spears, while one that doesn't will offer you both results. See:
Shopping cart abandonment rate
You probably know the bounce rate – that is, the percentage of users leaving your site after landing on it without performing any other action on it beyond clicking an external link. On e-commerce site the SCAR leaves scars on your revenue as it's the percentage of customers who have left in the middle of the shopping or checkout process. See:
A slashtag is a customized vertical or niche search engine on Blekko. See:
Social CRM
Social CRM refers to customer relationship management before they are customers or forging relationships beyond CRM. It uses social media for that purpose. See:
User testing
User testing is a form of usability and website testing where you actually invite real users to test your site and watch/record what they are doing and where they fail. You improve the site based on these user testing findings. See:
Usability is not UX/User Experience (Design); it goes beyond it. It encompasses making the user want to use something for instance. A good example is the iPhone. While many phones might be usable, the iPhone is also desirable in the UX sense. See:
Wonder wheel
The Google wonder wheel is an excellent Google search tool which allows you to overview keyword clusters which are related to a particular query. It has been around for almost two years now, but many people still don't use or even know it. See:
Are there more terms I haven't mentioned and explained but which you think are indispensable in 2011? Add your suggestions in the comment section!
Using the correct and current terms is a prerequisite of modern SEO. How can you grasp it when you still talk about PageRank, meta tags and search engine submission? So be sure to learn what those above mean; I still haven't fully understood some of them, like LDA or rich snippets.
I'm honored you included my explanation of Shopping Cart Abandonment Rate, and found many of your other terms interesting. Great read!
Interesting. This with the 503 and the UX are interesting for me personaly.
Thanks for debunking a lot of the complicated phrases behind SEO in 2011.
While there are many terms there I've been aware of for some time, slashtags and the Query Deserves Freshness algorithm are top spots worthy of further investigation.
Keep on doing awesome stuff – and have a great weekend!
503 is kinda new to me, and others still don't know about. thanks for sharing this one.
I have recently started using Wonder Wheel for my keyword research and i am amazed at the options/prospects it gives!
Thanks, 503 is really cool.
But the most important is that Google conciser 'content farm' as span. Most of forums are "content farms"
Add one more to that list! REF Code Analytics ( http://www.9thsphere.com/refcode-analytics.html ) – it is a new tool that helps you measure the effectiveness of your website design and the number of conversions you get not through your submission forms, but rather from those leads who come to your website and instead called your company. A fairly strong tool that tracks the online activities of callers who have visited a business' website prior to contacting that organization by phone. You can read more about it by searching for it on Google.

Great list, you could add schema.org to 'Microformats'.
New? Seriously? Most of these things should not be new to any digital professional. A/B testing – how is that new for 2011 and not an essential part of any existing digital plan? This article serves very little purpose other than spamming Twitter and people RSS feeds.
This is a brilliant list Tad!
Really enjoyed reading this one (I actually noted some that I may use for my future blog posts)
Oh, I think "markups" (schemas, microdata, rdf, authorship markups, etc…)is another good terminology to watch out this year.
Great post with very interesting points. I already added the QR code and have been hearing great feedback with use on one of my business directory sites.
Although, you forgot to mention one aspect. The latest Google panda updates and how it's effects sites, especially e-commerce. My advise after getting a reality check: Incorporate more social media into your sites seo strategy this year.
I am agree with your all point, Now Google panda are open own eyes and take watch your website content.
