Your Twitter usage statistics look great. You can enhance them even more by building connections with industry experts and exchanging expertise or content. Learn from today's top Twitter-using brands.
Plus, here are a few tips to help create a Twitter promotion plan.
Mobile Rendering
The number of people using the Mobile Web is huge; over 75 percent of consumers have access to smartphones. Your website should look nice on the most popular mobile devices.
Tip: Use an analytics tool to track mobile usage of your website.
Mobile Load Time
Try to load your website on a mobile device and measure the download time. If your website takes more than five seconds to download on a mobile device, you will lose 74 percent of your audience! Mobile usage is growing fast, especially in North America, where it will soon outpace desktop browsing usage. Make sure your site loads fast and that it looks nice on all types of mobile devices. Be sure to not use Flash, and keep photos and videos to a minimum. Here are two useful tips from Google™ for optimizing your mobile site speed.
Mobile Optimization
Your website needs further mobile optimization
Mobile Redirection
Mobile CSS
Meta Viewport Tag
Flash content
Apple Icon
Take advantage of the opportunity to optimize your site for mobile visitors. We recommend the following options:
WWW Resolve
Perfect! Your website with and without www redirects to the same page.
Great, your website directs www.hotschedules.com and hotschedules.com to the same URL.
Redirecting requests from a non-preferred domain is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.
URL Rewrite
Perfect, your URLs look clean.
Great! You have clean (user-friendly) URLs which do not contain query strings.
Clean URLs are not only SEO-friendly but are also important for usability.
IP Canonicalization
Be careful, your server IP is not forwarding to your website's domain name. Search engines like Google™ are now able to index your website with its IP instead of its domain name. This will result in duplicate content.
To check this for your website, enter your IP address in the browser and see if your site loads with the IP address. Ideally, the IP should redirect to your website's URL or to a page from your website hosting provider.
If it does not redirect, you should do an htaccess 301 redirect to make sure the IP does not get indexed.
Great, your website has a robots.txt file.
A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.
Click here to check your robots.txt file for syntax errors.
XML Sitemap
Great, your website has an XML sitemap.
A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
It is also good practice to specify your sitemap's location in your robots.txt file.
Underscores in the URLs
underscores (these_are_underscores) in your URLs. While Google™ treats hyphens (these-are-hyphens) as word separators, it does not treat underscores as word separators.
HotSchedules: Online Employee Scheduling, Paperless Hiring, eLearningHotSchedules
Length: 81 character(s)
Ideally, your title should contain between 10 and 70 characters (spaces included).
Make sure your title is explicit and contains your most important keywords.
Be sure that each page has a unique title.
Resource: Use this snippet-optimizer to see how your titles and descriptions will look in Google™ search results.
The HotSchedules product portfolio includes products to assist you with online employee scheduling, paperless hiring, eLearning
Length: 127 character(s)
Great, your meta description contains between 70 and 160 characters (spaces included).
Meta descriptions allow you to influence how your web pages are described and displayed in search results.
Ensure that your meta description is explicit and contains your most important keywords.
Check your Google™ Webmaster Tools for any warning messages on duplicate meta descriptions.

Great, your website is structured using HTML headings (<H1> to <H6>).
Use your keywords in the headings and make sure the first level (<H1>) includes your most important keywords. Never duplicate your title tag content in your header tag.
For more effective SEO, use only one <H1> tag per page.
We found 31 images on this web page.
31 alt attributes are empty or missing.
Alternative text (the alt attribute) is missing for several images. Add alternative text so that search engines can better understand the content of your images.
Remember that search engine crawlers cannot actually "see" images, so the alternative text attribute allows you to assign a specific description to each image.
Alternative text describes your images so they can appear in Google™ Images search results.
Check the images on your website and make sure effective alternative text is specified for each image.
Restrict the number of characters in alt text to 150, including spaces, and minimize the size of images to optimize your website's page load times.
Text/HTML Ratio
9.35 %
This page's ratio of text to HTML code is below 15 percent, this means that your website probably needs more text content.
A ratio between 25 and 70 percent is ideal. When it goes beyond that, the page might run the risk of being considered spam.
As long as the content is relevant and gives essential information, it is a plus to have more of it.
Good, no Flash content has been detected on this page.
Flash should only be used for specific enhancements. Although Flash content often looks nicer, it cannot be properly indexed by search engines. Avoid full Flash websites to maximize SEO.
This advice also applies to AJAX.
Great, there are no frames detected on this page.
Frames can cause problems on your web page because search engines will not crawl or index the content within them.
Avoid frames whenever possible and use a NoFrames tag if you must use them.
We found a Blog on this website.
Starting a blog is a great way to boost your SEO and attract qualified visitors.

Backlinks Counter
Backlinks are links that point to your website from other websites. They are like letters of recommendation for your site.
Since this factor is crucial to SEO, you should have a strategy to improve the quantity and quality of backlinks.
Your website is not listed in DMOZ, a multilingual open content directory constructed and maintained by a community of volunteer editors.
Submitting your website is important because search engines take DMOZ into account and sometimes display the company descriptions submitted to DMOZ in search results.
Indexed Pages
This is the number of pages on your website that are indexed by Google™.
The more pages that search engines index, the better, as this offers more opportunity for your website to be found.
A low number (relative to the total number of pages/URLs on your website) probably indicates that your internal link architecture needs improvement and is preventing search engines from crawling all of the pages on your website. You might want to create/check your site's XML sitemap and submit it to Google™. You must also build backlinks to your site's internal pages to help Google™ bots crawl and index your web pages.
Check Google™ Webmaster Tools under Health and Index Status, to keep track of the status of your site's indexed pages.
Popular Pages
This lists your website's popular pages.
Domain 1st Registered
13 years 3 Month 8 Days ago
Your domain is old enough to encourage search engines to give it a higher rank.
Domain age matters to a certain extent and newer domains generally struggle to get indexed and rank high in search results for their first few months (depending on other associated ranking factors).
Domain Expiration
7 Year(s) 10 Month(s) 5 Day(s)
Do you know that you can register your domain for up to 10 years? By doing so, you will show the world that you are serious about your business.
Length: 12 character(s)
Keep your URLs short and avoid long domain names when possible.
A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).
Keep in mind that URLs are also an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy. Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.
Resource: Search for a good domain name. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain. To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.
Great, your website has a favicon. Make sure this favicon is consistent with your brand.
Resource: Check out this amazing idea for improving the user experience with a special favicon.
404 Error Page
Great, your website has a custom 404 error page.
Take advantage of the opportunity to provide a beautiful 404 Error Page for your visitors.
Conversion Forms
Great, we found a Conversion Form on this page.
There are different types of conversions, such as: getting the email address of your visitors, requesting your visitors to fill in a form or closing an online sale. Converting visitors into prospects/clients is probably the most important target for your website. So, it is important that you optimize your website to boost conversions.
Page Size
36.4 KB (World Wide Web average is 320 Kb)
Two of the main reasons for an increase in page size are images and JavaScript files.
Page size affects the speed of your website; try to keep your page size below 300 Kb.
Tip: Use images with a small size and optimize their download with gzip.
Load Time
1.59 second(s) (22.93 kB/s)
Your website is too slow. Slow page load time is one of the biggest complaints of web users.
If the load time/Kb is short, it means your homepage is too big. If the load time/Kb is long, this could be due to a server problem, a network problem, poor code optimization (cache, Mysql queries, etc.), or a third-party issue (advertising codes, analytics codes, etc.).
Site speed is becoming an important factor for ranking high in Google™ search results.
Check out Google™'s developer tutorials for tips on how to to make your website run faster.
Monitor your server and receive SMS alerts when your website is down with a website monitoring tool.
Declared: en-us
Detected: en
Great, you have declared the language.
Make sure your declared language is the same as the language detected by Google™.
Tips for multilingual websites:
- Define the language of the content in each page's HTML code.
- Specify the language code in the URL as well (e.g., "mywebsite.com/fr/mycontent.html").
We could not find a Print-Friendly CSS
This is a special CSS style sheet which ensures that unnecessary interface designs and images are left out when printing pages from your site, saving the user a lot of ink.
It is just another way to provide a rich user-experience.
If you do not have a print style sheet yet, set one up.
We found 0 type(s) of Microformat
This page does not take advantage of Microformats.
A microformat is a technical semantic markup that can be used to better structure the data submitted to search engines.
Thanks to microformats, Google™ regularly improves its presentation of search results.
Dublin Core
This page does not take advantage of Dublin Core.
Dublin Core is a set of standard metadata elements used to describe the contents of a website. It can help with some internal search engines and it does not bloat your code.
Domain Availability

Email Privacy
Warning! At least one email address has been found in plain text.
Malicious bots scrape the web in search of email addresses and plain text email addresses are more likely to be spammed.
Spam Block
Your IP is not Blacklisted in the Spammer Directory.
It is important that your SEO efforts are not tarnished by spammy activities. Take care to avoid forum and blog spam and use best practices when sharing your content.
In addition, if you send email campaigns or transactional emails, use professional email software to keep your IP clean and improve the deliverability of your emails.
Server IP
Server location: AUSTIN
Your server's IP address has little impact on your SEO. Nevertheless, try to host your website on a server which is geographically close to your visitors. Search engines take the geolocation of a server into account as well as the server speed.
Use DNSstuff for comprehensive reports on your server.
Apache Web server
Google Analytics
Google Font API Font script
jQuery JavaScript framework
PHP Programming language
Ubuntu Operating system
WordPress CMS
WordPress Blog
YouTube Video player
Get to know the technologies used for your website. Some codes might slow down your website. Ask your webmaster to take a look at this.
Speed Tips
Be careful: your website's speed should be improved.
Too bad, your server is not using a caching method.
Perfect, your website doesn't use nested tables.
Too bad, your website is using inline styles.
Too bad, your website has too many CSS files (more than 4).
Too bad, your website has too many JavaScript files (more than 7).
Too bad, your website does not take advantage of gzip.
Website speed has a huge effect on SEO. Speed-up your website so search engines will reward you by sending more visitors.
Also, conversion rates are far higher for websites that load faster than their slower competitors.
Google™ Analytics
Web analytics let you measure visitor activity on your website. You should have at least one analytics tool installed. It is also good to install one extra tool to have a confirmation of the results.
Analytics Tools: Google™ Analytics, Quantcast™, SiteCatalyst™, Piwik™, chartbeat™, Clicky™, ClickTale™, etc.
W3C Validity
Invalid: 62 Errors, 63 Warning(s)
Use valid markup that contains no errors. Syntax errors can make your page difficult for search engines to index.
To find the detected errors, run the W3C validation service, or check Validator.nu to make sure you don't miss an error.
W3C is a consortium that sets web standards.
Great, language/character encoding is specified.
Specifying language/character encoding can prevent problems with the rendering of special characters.
Directory Browsing
Great! Your server prevents visitors from browsing your directory by accessing it directly, this is excellent from a security standpoint.
Server Signature
Good, your server signature is off. This is excellent from a security standpoint.

Florida, Justice Department join lawsuit against college business
- Staff Tampa Bay Business Journal
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and the U.S. Department of Justice joined a false claims lawsuit against Education Management Corp.
The company, based in Pittsburgh, operates a chain of for-profit colleges, including the Art Institute of Tampa and Argosy University.
The federal complaint in the whistleblower lawsuit alleges EDMC paid admission recruiters incentive compensation, resulting in enrollment of unqualified students, high student loan defaults and wasted program funds, according to a statement from the justice department.
The company has denied the allegations.
California, Illinois and Indiana also have intervened as plaintiffs.

Last fortnight a dominant image on TV screens was drought. This fortnight, vast parts of the country drowned in water. An uncertain, unpredictable and variable monsoon is still impacting us. Late rain has delayed or jeopardized sowing; or intense rain has thrown life asunder and flowed away rapidly, creating months of (future) scarcity. Regional variations are huge, too. So there is drought in otherwise moist northeast and in paddy-growing Punjab and Haryana. A different monsoon, perhaps signalling the climate-changing times ahead.
This is the fortnight of India's budget. Pink and white papers scurry around for comments on what the finance minister will do for India's economy, completely missing the bigger questions. What will happen if the Indian monsoon fails—or fails in the critical period when farmers sow the kharif crop? What will happen if reservoirs—holding water for drinking or electricity—do not get their supply from the sky? Will we have water to drink in cities? Will we have water and power to operate industries?
The to-be-or-not-to-be question of our age. Given the crisis that confronts us—inequality and poverty in our immediate midst and growing climate insecurity in our world—we have no choice but to change. But how will this change be afforded? If we cannot find an answer to this one, what we will get is a lot of talk and little action. In fact, we will regress, literally and deliberately.

Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
Intriguing matchup of the best offense in the NFL (by far) with the best defense in the NFL (by far):
- The Pats are averaging 36.3 PPG and 425.7 YPG, both well ahead of any team in the NFL. They're very balanced, ranking 5th in passing and 7th in rushing. They lead the league in 1st downs, rushing 1st downs and 3rd down conversion %. They have turned the ball over only 7 times all season. - 49ers are giving up a league-low 14.2 PPG. Very stingy defense. They're 2nd in YPG, 2nd in passing YPG, and tied for 2nd (with Houston!) in rushing YPG. Aldon Smith leads the NFL in sacks with 19.5 and is threatening Michael Strahan's record. Justin Smith presents JJ Watt-like challenges up front. Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman are as active an ILB combo as you will find in the NFL. And the 49ers have a much, much better secondary than Houston. No team has put up more than 26 points on the 49ers this season. It will be interesting to see how the Pats' offense matches up against them. Some things to think about: 1. On Defense: - Is this an "establish the run and then pass" kind of game, or is this more of a "Williams Wall" kind of game? I favor a more varied approach (I'll avoid using the word "balanced"). The 49ers have a good pass defense, so it's not like they are particularly susceptible. Aaron Rodgers put up 303 yards passing and 2 TDs/1 INT against them. Drew Brees moved the ball against them, but forced the ball and ended up with 2 pick 6's. OTOH, the Giants rushed for 149 yards in beating the 49ers 26-3 on the road. The Rams rushed for 159 yards and passed for 299 in playing the 49ers to a 24-24 tie. 4 teams have rushed for over 100 yards against the 49ers this year and the Dolphins rushed for 94. The Pats are averaging almost 140 YPG on the ground, and I'm fairly confident that they can run it against the 49ers. As with the Texans and JJ Watt, establishing the run would help keep the Smiths at bay against Brady. I think that using a full stable of bigger backs (Ridley, Bolden) and quicker backs (Vereen, Woodhead) could wear down the 49ers defense some. I think the New Orleans game is a good example of getting too pass-happy. - The SF LB's are very mobile and good in coverage. It may not be as easy to exploit the middle of the field as with most teams. Dashon Goldson is also a very strong player. OTOH, their CBs are good but not special, and there may be some outside matchups to be exploit. It may make sense to use Hernandez and/or Vereen split outside as a WR in this game. - The OL needs to keep track of the Smiths at all times, much as it did with JJ Watt. TE help will be key. 2. On Defense: - Stopping the run will be the #1 priority. SF is the #1 rushing team in the NFL at over 160 YPG. They don't have the firepower to beat the Pats through the air, or to come from behind. If the Pats get out to a lead and make the 49ers pass, it's going to be difficult. - Too bad Julian Edelman is on IR, otherwise I bet he would be used to play Colin Kaepernick during game preparations this week. The Pats need to prepare for the problems a mobile QB can cause. - I'm hoping that Talib, Dennard and Arrington will be back because I think that the defense can cause an inexperienced QB like Kaepernick to get confused and flustered by throwing a lot of different looks and stunts at him, so long as they have confidence in the back end to protect the deep part of the field. The 49ers deep threats aren't that great, but the defense will have to beware of breakdowns in containment and coverage from Kaepernick extending plays. - The 49ers have given up 32 sacks this year, so look for more blitzes and pressure, hopefully leading to some turnovers. The 49ers are only averaging about 24 PPG, and the Pats defense is averaging 21 PPG, and just over 18 PPG for the last 4 games. It's going to take an above average offensive effort from the 49ers and a good defensive effort for them to win. Special teams could also be a factor, as Andy Lee is one of the best punters in the business. |
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
Tom Brady said today they have one of the best defenses he's ever seen. You know he'll be ready, Sunday Might Football, Al & Cris, Faith Hill, etc.
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
The Niners always worried me more than the Texans. Their D is nasty and without a running game - we could be toast - because they will get Brady if he has to sit back there. For the first time this season, I worry more about the O than the D - I think our D will play them very well. This could be a 17-10 type game or 20-17 - something low. Definitely a game where whoever wins the turnover battle will win the game. I hope we keep the mistakes to minimum - glad this one is at Gillette.
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
:confused: |
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
We will see. For years, Brady has struggled badly against the Ravens defense while torching the Steelers, even though these two defenses have been statistically similar. We'll find out how we match up with them- the Pats could torch them or struggle badly- either way I won't be surprised.
Could really use Gronkowski for this game. |
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
Last week was a big test for the D, they passed with flying colors. This week is a big test for the O, we will learn a lot.
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
Weather could be a factor in this game. Some outlets are calling for rain, some say snow, but either way there could be a decent amount of precipitation.
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
The 49ers offense doesnt scare me as much if they stop the run.This will be a tougher game though then the texans game.
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
Re: Pats vs. Niners - Initial Thoughts
Yup, stop the run 1st is key to beating the 9ers. Gore is a bona fide #1 tailback. However that plays right into the strengths of the Pats defense. Wilfork and Love are like brick walls up front. Mayo has amazing range, Spikes is a piledriver in the middle, and Hightower's game has been getting stronger as the season progresses.
After that, the Pats need to maintain discipline to keep Kaepernick in the pocket. I'd rather force him to beat our coverages then allow him to run wild on the ground. Love the matchup of Juggernaut offense against the NFL's most impressive defense. I expect we can win as long as all our units bring their A game, but it won't be an easy one. |

3 Negatives About How Colleges Are Behaving
Reader Comments
Mindless devotion to research? Negative comments about research in universities usually come from the people who never do it! These same folks usually forget that "research" is a teaching tool as well. I have had countless undergrads working in my labs over the entire course of my 4 decades long career. The students have learned how to problem solve not just in my area of specialization, but also to learn the skills that will help them throughout their career once they graduate. it's been a source of satisfaction for all concerned. Maybe a lot of university research is wool-gathering, but who can tell in the future, whether it might have some benefit or payoff? I worked at a very small university in N.England for 22 years, had a full-course load and still did research as a part of my mission. If the universities are not generating new knowledge to inform those who just want to teach...what will they have to teach? Are we to return to the Middle Ages or something along those lines? Just learn about the past? Who decides anyway? I agree that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but slamming research without understanding a lot about the process and the value of it, is not such a great idea. Maybe Dr. Bauerlein needs to do some solid research into the issue, before spouting off.
For the past twenty years, most of our Ivy League universitites are teaching our youth how to be greedy, how to make money, how to be unethical, but, not how to serve their patients, clients or constituency. If you see a doctor today, you are lucky if you get all of 2 minutes of his time when he cuts you short, what happened to his oath as a physician?? Lawyers are too busy billing but not defending their clients to the best of their ability, as they are supposed to. All priority is in how to make money, how to screw Mr. John Doe, and NOT at all on scruples, morals, or just plain being honest. The proof of that is the past eight years when Congress allowed Wall Street to drive this nation to the brink of disaster and to screw the hard-working, honest but screwed middle-class Americans. Members of Congress and the parasites on Wall Street are going into a great future while the rest of the nation is barely hanging on, with no jobs, no homes, no pensions, lost savings.....and many losing hope. Thanks to the great universities of unethical teachings.......
Paula is right about the majority of schools focusing on teaching, not on research but in the field of language and literature, according to the Modern Language Association, we now have some 700+ departments that do emphasize research over teaching--not an insignificant portion of the terrain overall.
This isnt a picture of "the higher education world." You are generalizing from the example of a very few research-intensive universities. How many of the 4000+ colleges in the US offer two-course-per semester teaching schedules for faculty, and what percentage of faculty members went into the profession for the sake of research rather than teaching? A very few elite colleges and professors fit the description you give here. The vast majority of teaching in the US at the post-secondary level is done at community colleges and regional comprehensive schools. Please don't characterize higher education as if it all occurred at Research 1 universities.
I agree with you that more transparency is needed, and
I will leave to others the job of defending research, which I believe is an essential aspect of higher education.) Thanks.

Sony RX100 Is a Pocket Camera a Pro Can Love - NYTimes.com
David Pogue loves the Sony RX100. I can't wait till this gets released over this side of the pond. Sony could really be on to a winner with the RX100.
Nikon D3200 previewed
Nikon's new entry level camera gets a ridiculous megapixel count. I presume this is the same sensor from the Sony A77. I really don't understand the need for 24mp in a consumer level camera. It just makes no sense other than the fact that consumers are more likely to be discerning based on tech specs.

Seafood Workers Say They Were Left Out of BP SettlementBP might've thought they covered everything in the proposed settlement with the people of the Gulf Coast. But it turns out they might've missed somebody. A group that represents shrimp processors is in court today asking Judge Carl Barbier to delay his blessing of the settlement because key groups in the seafood industry are being left out of the settlement. Specifically, docks, processors, distributors, and packaging supply businesses were left out of the $2.3 billion agreement, the processors group says. According to the processors group, the settlement makes the compensation for future losses of those groups on par with businesses that aren't in the seafood businesses. That's because the pot of money for seafood businesses like fishers, crew and oyster leaseholders is set up to multiply the losses. "I simply can't comprehend how after two years they don't understand the difference between a seafood dock or processing business and a shoe store," American Shrimp Processors Assocation Executive Director David Veal said of BP in a statement. "Our future risk is no different than those inside the Seafood Program, and certainly much greater than a flower shop." In its own statement, BP took credit for the Seafood Program, saying they provided for claims that could amount to more than would multiply the annual salary of the fishers many times over.

It was 16 years ago Lois Mackenzie found out she had arthritis.
She was working as a welder, dealing with grinders and welding rods and using heavy equipment. It had never been a problem to her before.
She was only in her '20s. "When I was welding, it just seemed to amplify things," she says.
So she quit. It became too much strain on her body to even work, and to this day she's still suffering from arthritis, mostly in the tendons in her hands, but also in various joints and, almost worst of all, with the fatigue she now feels.
"I find working three days in a row is too much for me," she says.
Fifteen per cent of Canadians over the age of 15 suffer with some form of arthritis, according to the Arthritis Society.
Other statistics include: There are currently 600,000 people in B.C. living with arthritis.
There are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis, including lupus, gout and scleroderma.
Arthritis can affect anyone at any age.
One in four people between 25 and 44 are not in the labour force because of their disease.
It affects more women than men. It can affect one's ability to work, their quality of life and the potential to advance in their career.
That last point Mackenzie knows all too well, having been forced to leave her career path at an early age to find something that fit her lifestyle. She tried working at Sears, but even that proved too much for her.
But then, almost two years ago, she made the big score. She found a job at KMS Tools, working in sales, which doesn't require a lot of physical exertion. The company works around her schedule, despite the opening being for a full-time position.
"So now I'm three days a week," she said. Over the course of 16 years Mackenzie has developed a very understanding relationship with her body. She knows her limits and when she can push them, and when to back off.
Even so, she can't stop the random flare of pain from acting up.
"Going to dinner with me is interesting," she said. "I'm always dropping my cutlery."
She describes her arthritis as a "throbbing" pain, mostly affecting the tendons in her hands and her joints.
And there are times when that's really kept her from doing the things she loves.
"I used to Boxfit. I really liked hitting the bag, the heavy bag, but I can't do that now because it hurts," she said.
When she was 23 she loved riding a motorcycle. Those nostalgic memories recently pushed her to take a riding course, but it was also too much.
"I've come to the conclusion it's too hard to hold on, to turn the throttle and hold the clutch," she said. "I could probably do it for 10 minutes, but I couldn't do it for a long ride."
The disappointment still weighs her down, but she's not letting it keep her there.
Living with arthritis this long, Mackenzie knows the moment she lets her body rest, the easier it will be for her to give in.
"I am proactive," she said. "I don't push myself, but I don't ignore my body either."
She's happy with how the summer went, as weather affects her body, but so far, so good.
As for those who may be starting to suffer or just thinking they might be suffering from arthritis, Mackenzie is keen to offer advice.
"Get a professional to check you out," she said. "Be active. Don't let the strain slow you down. There is also a lot to be said for alternative medicines, and acupuncture really helps."
A forum discussing arthritis-caused pain and fatigue will take place on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Dogwood Pavilion, located at 624 Poirier St. in Coquitlam. The event is free, but registration is required. Call 604-714-5550 to register.

By Sara Sjolin, MarketWatch
LONDON (MarketWatch) — The U.K.'s benchmark stock index retreated from an almost five-month high on Wednesday, as mining firms tracked metals prices lower and GlaxoSmithKline PLC fell after reporting a drop in earnings.
The FTSE 100 index /quotes/zigman/3173262/realtime UK:UKX +0.04% lost 0.3% to close at 6,674.48, breaking a nine-day winning streak.

Oakmark fund manager David Herro likes both regions. At the Art Successful Investing conference he made the case for investing in Daiwa and Credit Suisse.
Shares of drug maker GlaxoSmithKline /quotes/zigman/263563/realtime UK:GSK +0.44% /quotes/zigman/146635/delayed/quotes/nls/gsk GSK -0.74% gave up 1.9% after the company said net profit fell 12% in the third quarter, as sales to China were hurt by a high-profile Chinese-government investigation, alleging the company bribed doctors and others to sell more drugs.
ARM Holdings PLC /quotes/zigman/254777/realtime UK:ARM -0.65% /quotes/zigman/67211/delayed/quotes/nls/armh ARMH 0.00% lost 5% after UBS cut the microchip designer to neutral from buy on valuation.
Mining firms also added pressure in London, as metals prices dropped across the board. Anglo American PLC /quotes/zigman/470624/realtime UK:AAL +0.53% fell 3.9%, Antofagasta PLC /quotes/zigman/139152/realtime UK:ANTO +0.39% dropped 4.3%, Rio Tinto PLC /quotes/zigman/155899/realtime UK:RIO +0.77% /quotes/zigman/182541/delayed/quotes/nls/rio RIO +2.35% /quotes/zigman/176317/realtime AU:RIO -0.44% gave up 1.3% and BHP Billiton PLC /quotes/zigman/184879/realtime UK:BLT +0.50% /quotes/zigman/270355/delayed/quotes/nls/bhp BHP +0.75% /quotes/zigman/180893/realtime AU:BHP +0.22% erased 1.4%.
Stocks in London failed to get a boost from an upbeat assessment from the Bank of England, which lifted its growth forecast for the second half of the year. The central bank said in minutes from its policy-setting meeting earlier in October that growth in the second half would remain around 0.7% a quarter or a little higher, stronger than expected at the time of the August Inflation Report. In September, the BOE upgraded the growth expectations for the third quarter to 0.7% from the 0.5% forecast in August.

The minutes also showed all nine members of the Monetary Policy Committee voted in favor of keeping the central bank's interest rates and the asset-purchase program unchanged.
Among other notable movers in the U.K., shares of Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC /quotes/zigman/10330253/realtime UK:RBS +0.33% /quotes/zigman/530544/delayed/quotes/nls/rbs RBS 0.00% dropped 2.7% after Citigroup reiterated its sell rating on the firm.
Other banks in London were also on the decline, following European peers lower. The losses in the banking sector on the continent came as the European Central Bank said it would begin a thorough review of the balance sheets of 130 financial institutions in the euro zone in November, to unearth potential risks before moving closer to a banking union for the region. As part of the asset-review exercise, the ECB will ask these banks to set aside 8% of their risk-adjusted capital as a buffer against losses on loans and other parts of their balance sheets.

I have been working at Starcom USA full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Experience working on the biggest of the big brands
Great benefits and vacation time
Relatively little drama for an agency
Job security is better than at other agencies
A great deal of training for new hires (if they ask for it)
Cons – Accountants run the place
It can be a 'sink or swim' environment - depending on your team
Promotions tend to be more political vs your abilities and talent
Advice to Senior Management – Overall, you do well. I think you should nurture the young talent a bit more. They all seem to leave soon after the 2nd year for better opportunities outside Starcom. It would also be nice to know how the business is doing from a financial perspective. Starcommers never really know until Maurice Levy gives his end of the year wrap-up.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Starcom USA as an intern for less than a year

I have three problems with it:
1. The police retaining location data about innocent people where they were found to have done nothing wrong.
2. The retaining of location data that could be used to reconstruct the movements of a person or vehicle without first obtaining a warrant.
3. The lack of democratic process to allow the citizens a chance to discuss and debate the merits and faults before a law enforcement agency unilaterally decides to implement it.
Someone asked me what I was talking about when I said "you have no privacy, get over it"...
You illustrated my point perfectly.

To call The Body Shop a mere skin and body care store is to miss half of what makes it special. Late founder Dame Anita Roddick was a pioneer for ethical business practices; upon opening her first store in Brighton, England, in 1976, she developed company values such as "Defend human rights" and "Protect our planet." She somehow balanced principles and profit, partnering in global campaigns with UNICEF, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, all while expanding her brand into 2,500 locations in 60 international markets. After her death in 2007, then-British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said, "She campaigned for green issues for many years before it became fashionable to do so and inspired millions to the cause by bringing sustainable products to a mass market. . . . She was an inspiration."
Indeed, the Body Shop exhibits an eco-friendliness that's hard to come by in a company of its size. Its products have been fair-trade since 1987, and its Against Animal Testing movement led to a UK-wide ban of animal testing of cosmetics. The products are made from ingredients harvested from around the world: shea butter from Ghana goes into body scrubs and butters, and Indian artisans craft wooden massagers and tote bags that are screenprinted by hand. But all that isn't to say the company's production practices overshadow its final products. Skincare treatments such as the Blue Corn 3-in-1 deep-cleansing scrub mask often appear in Allure, Marie Claire, and other national publications.
The Cavender family has been in the automotive industry since 1939. The tradition continues at Cavender Buick GMC West, where staff members guide customers through showrooms and pre-owned lots that are filled with sedans and SUVs from GM and other models. A trained team is also on hand to service cars and provide parts replacements and preventative-maintenance services, such as oil changes and inspections.
Alamo Auto Glass has been serving the greater San Antonio area for over 15 years now, providing safe quality windshield Installations Monday through Saturday. We offer windshield repair & replacement. Power window repair, RV windshields, Heavy Equipment glass, and side view mirrors. Truck windshields. FREE mobile Service.
The technicians at Nile Auto Services keep vehicles of all makes and models at their showroom best with a host of detailing and maintenance services. With help from the Optima Steamer system, a meticulous detailing crew sterilizes rides inside and out with steam waxes and interior shampoos. In the garage, technicians peek under the hood and to inspect or steam clean engines, flush systems, or replace cylinders with Slinkys.
The highly trained technicians at Jiffy Lube tend to about 24 million customers each year with services such as the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil-Change, which helps promote the longevity of each vehicle. Staffers acknowledge that oil plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan of each car—it cools the motor and helps prevent moving parts from deteriorating. More than 20,000 technicians who have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) service vehicles at Jiffy Lube.
In addition to performing oil changes, technicians perform preventative services such as air-filtration, among others, as well as state emissions inspections. Jiffy Lube's quality pledge includes a commitment to transparency, which stipulates that they will inform car owners of any necessary services, complete a service only after it has been approved, and refuse to replace windshields with saran wrap.
Originally run out of one pickup truck, Houston Auto Glass & Windshield Replacement has spent nearly two decades growing a fleet of mobile technicians big enough to serve customers throughout Dallas and Houston. The techs swap out windshields lacerated with cracks and replace them with shiny new units, allowing drivers to easily see when the road ahead is actually their neighbor's swimming pool. Urethane adhesives and quality sealant join a steadfast warranty to keep new panes in place. The glass gurus also repair rock chips and tackle other services such as painting and body repair.
The automated car washes at The Bubble Bath Carwash scrub vehicles to a sparkling sheen in less than three minutes, without leaving a big environmental impact. The drive-thru washes use only nontoxic and biodegradable soaps, and The Bubble Bath Carwash recycles nearly 80% of the water it uses. Customers who wash their cars here can use the vacuums for free to clean carpets, seats, and hitchhikers sitting in the back seat.

We asked you, the fans, to vote on your favorite mascot in each classification and the Bend Lava Bears were selected as your top choice at the 5A level.
School: Bend High School
Location: Bend, Oregon
Enrollment: 1,610 students
According to Bend High School Athletic Director Craig Walker, the "Lava Bear" is known to be a mythical creature from the Central Oregon forests. The first Lava Bear was said to have been spotted in the early 1920's by author and humorist, Irvin S. Cobb.
In 1924 the first "Lava Bear" was caught in a forest trap by former government trapper, Alfred Adams. The bear that Adams trapped turned out to be a black bear. There is speculation on whether or not Lava Bears actually ever existed but it has still lived on to be Bend High School's mascot since 1930.
Best of the rest in Class 5A:
Pendleton Buckaroos
Benson Techmen
Franklin Quakers
Roosevelt Roughriders
Springfield Millers
Dallas Dragons

In the history of advertising, it's not unusual for brand companies to commission "sound-alikes" of popular songs for commercials. About a decade ago, NPR's On the Media examined the phenomenon of ad agencies falling in love with a particular piece of music and presented the choice facing those who create advertisements: 1) obtain the rights to use the song from the artist, 2) compose something else, or 3) go to a music production house and get a piece of music that's similar but differs enough in such areas as key or melody to avoid lawsuits.
Many advertisers choose option 3 -- and some musicians are no longer standing for it. And Grammy-winning garage rock band The Black Keys might be prepared to lead the vanguard on this front.
After settling two lawsuits with Pizza Hut and Home Depot in December over alleged use of its songs in commercials, the band filed a third lawsuit last week. Terms of the settlements with the first two companies weren't revealed, but evidently the resolution was financially satisfactory to lead The Black Keys to bet on more litigation -- this time, against Pinnacle Entertainment, which runs casinos throughout the United States, and Manhattan Production Music, a company that creates music for commercial advertising.
According to a lawsuit filed in New York federal court, the defendants have used its hit song, "Howlin' for You," in advertisements.

The first commercial that used music allegedly "substantially similar" to the Black Keys song ran in September for Pinnacle's L'Auberge Casino Resort Lake Charles. The following month, a second commercial is said to have run using "infringing music" for a second casino.
Asked for reaction, Pinnacle said it wouldn't comment on pending litigation.
When Pizza Hut was sued in September, the food chain asserted various defenses before the case was settled. Among them was that if there was any similarity between the band's music and the tune in its commercial, such similarity consisted solely of material that wasn't original to The Black Keys and therefore not protectable.
Lest the latest case be merely about whether The Black Keys can protect their keys, the lawsuit against Pinnacle has another wrinkle.
The complaint (read here) says that on Twitter, a fan of the band pointed out the casino operator's music, and in response, a rep for the casino tweeted, "We bought a licensed musical interpretation of the song."
In addition, it's alleged that on the YouTube page for the casino's advertisement, a rep for the casino asserted that the commercial is "a licensed track inspired by 'Howlin' for You' by The Black Keys."
This possible social media bravado has added two additional charges that were not present in the band's lawsuits last year: In addition to bringing a copyright infringement cause of action, the band also is claiming the defendants have violated trademark law by suggesting a false designation of origin as well as making unfair competition for them.
Some things change. Other things, like Twitter, are new.
