TUKWILA, Wash. -- Reclining comfortably in a leather office chair, Kasey Keller offers a two-part reflection on his celebrated career.
"On one side, I've loved every minute of it," says the 41-year-old, with a contented smile.
And on the other side?
"I feel a little disappointed I never got a chance to play for a team that was going to challenge for a championship," the Olympia, Wash.-born goalkeeper explains. "I wish I could have. I was close several times."
Looking back, those frustrations are mainly exceptions for the well-traveled Sounders FC captain. For 19 years, he has lived the sport he loves across the globe: from winning trophies in England, to living in castles in Germany, to breaking new ground in Spain.
Proudly representing U.S. soccer around the world, and ultimately playing in his home state, Keller will retire after the 2011 Major League Soccer season, ending one of the most storied and accomplished soccer careers this country has seen.
"You can't talk about the great American players without mentioning Kasey Keller," says Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid.
"I would say Keller is part of a very select group of Americans of his generation," says Grant Wahl, a Sports Illustrated senior writer, who ranks the goalkeeper in his top five players in U.S. history.
"He's a pioneer for American soccer," says Chris Henderson, a former teammate of Keller's on the U.S. national team and current technical director in Seattle.
"He's been one of the leaders for the sport in our country," says MLS commissioner Don Garber, calling Keller an ambassador of the league. "Him returning home to Seattle helped launch that club in a very credible way."
But such praise isn't meant to retire Keller before his 20th season is over. As the leader of a title-hungry Sounders FC club -- with expectations as high as the decibel levels at Qwest Field -- he's still got that elusive championship to win.
Keller likes to think it was self-confidence that propelled him to England out of college. To call it an ambitious route for a 22-year-old is an understatement. Especially for an American.
"It had to be borderline arrogance, or even full-fledged arrogance," Keller allows with a laugh.
No one had ever played in England on a U.S. passport. Other touted American players, what few there were, mostly benefitted from European lineage in getting a foot into the world's top leagues. Keller had no such advantage, having grown up on an egg farm outside Olympia.
But signing with London-based Millwall FC in 1992 after playing for the University of Portland was just the first of the barriers broken down by Keller. Next he moved up to Leicester City of the English Premier League. After a few years, he became the first American to play in Spain's top league, La Liga, with Rayo Vallecano. Later he established himself as a regular for Borussia Monchengladbach in the renowned German Bundesliga--a stretch during which he and his family lived in a 1,000-year old castle near Dusseldorf.
Each step of the way, Keller was judged by his nationality. But with each prejudice he faced and conquered, he made it easier for the next generation of Americans to play soccer in Europe.
Especially goalkeepers.
"If I could've taken the same path that I took, but to start it five, six years ago, that'd be a fun road," says Keller. "It'd be a little easier, maybe, because somebody had done it before me. There would have been maybe a little less stereotypes to break down, but those are still there. American guys are still being overlooked."
Playing overseas also presented challenges back home. Despite Keller being one of the top Americans in the game, U.S. soccer fans often struggled to keep up with his exploits.
These days, with bundled TV packages and the Internet, soccer enthusiasts have no trouble following stars like Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard in the English Premier League. That wasn't the case for Keller.
"It's almost like if it doesn't take place on live television or have highlights, it's like it didn't happen to some folks," Wahl says. "But if he had done those things in today's environment, where we can see all this stuff, I think there would be more respect for what Keller has achieved."
Keller, who also played for Tottenham and Fulham of the EPL, was most visible to American fans through the U.S. national team. Three times he was named U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year, and he made World Cup squads in 1990, 1998, 2002 and 2006 -- twice as the starter. A rare aggravation came during the team's magical quarterfinal run in 2002, which he watched from the bench when coach Bruce Arena elected to go with rival goalkeeper Brad Friedel instead.
Other annoyances came via bureaucratic battles when club teams didn't want Keller to leave at midseason for national team games across the Atlantic.
Keller, who has long since considered himself retired internationally, save for an emergency, almost quit international soccer a couple times. But in the end, "I just enjoyed playing for my country," he says. "A lot."
Some say it's his hands. Others credit Keller's mental toughness.
The list of his best attributes grows with each person asked.
Technical ability. Meticulous training. Leadership. Distribution. Shot-stopping. Composure. Fitness level, even at 41 years old.
Keller's legacy, however, won't be measured in flashy saves or highlights, but in the day-to-day commitment to his craft. Discipline and dedicated work over the years not only prevented injuries, but fueled the fire as he blazed trails across Europe.
Sounders FC goalkeeper coach Tommy Dutra has yet to see Keller, his former training partner, go through the motions in practice or try to skate by on reputation.
"He trains harder than anyone else," Dutra says. "He brings it day in and day out. It means a lot to him."
Keller says the moment you don't care anymore is the moment you need to quit. Evidence it still matters to Keller can be heard every day at the team's training facility at the Starfire Sports Complex. Usually, the loudest--and occasionally profane--voice is Keller's. The team captain is quick to hold veterans and rookies similarly accountable, whether it's leading into a scrimmage or a playoff game.
"That's Kasey. He's a competitor," says backup goalkeeper Terry Boss. "That's what makes it fun, to come out and compete every day. He'll always be a competitor. Whatever it is, he'll always want to be the best, and I respect that."
And while Keller will offer advice to a young goalkeeper in one drill, he'll make sure to beat him in the next one.
"I think he takes pride in saying, 'Hey, I'm 41, this kid's 21, 22 years old, I'm going to work him into the ground,' " says Dutra.
The one thing Keller has never accomplished is scoring a goal. He came close once at Millwall, but when his punt bounced over the opposing goalkeeper toward the open goal, a teammate raced ahead and tapped the ball into the empty net.
Sounders FC officials have offered Keller the opportunity to take a penalty kick late in a game, presumably one that likely wouldn't affect the outcome. He's not interested.
"If I'm the one they need to score in that situation, we've got big problems," Keller jokes. "I know I'm a goalkeeper. That just comes with the position."
As comfortable as Keller is at organizing defenses and anticipating shots on goal, he's just as adept at talking and teaching the game. Demanding media duties, especially this preseason before his farewell tour, come as little bother to the player who is the face of Sounders FC.
"You have to take that as a responsibility as a player," he says, citing an obligation to promote the sport.
He takes it far beyond that.
Last year, despite not being a team representative to the players' union, Keller played a part in renegotiating a new collective-bargaining agreement that saved the 2010 season. But even an interaction on the smallest scale, like a high-five to a fan while leaving the field, can help a sport grow, perhaps by planting the seed of support in younger generations.
The game has provided so much to Keller. Now it's time to reciprocate.
"I needed to be somewhere to start to give back, to start to help evolve this game and get it to where we all feel that it can be and that it should be in the future," Keller said in a December news conference announcing his retirement.
Schmid says Keller has been an ideal role model for young players and has played "a very vital role" in the development of American soccer. Those are traits Keller hopes can continue after he stops playing.
The specific avenue for that future work, however, isn't determined yet.
It could be as a member of Sounders FC's technical staff. Maybe as a broadcaster. Or even a coach (he has a national "B" coaching license through U.S. Soccer). More than likely, it will be in his home state of Washington.
While still open to all employment opportunities, Keller says he wants to keep his family settled at home. His twin daughters, Chloe and Cameron, had to change schools with every career move.
Plus, he has already found something special with Sounders FC.
"I came home wanting to be a part of something," Keller says, "and I would have only done that with an organization I felt was truly doing things the right way. There's no question that Seattle is setting the standard. And I'd love to continue the push."

After surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest bands of the new millennium, honing a mix of introspective Brit-pop and anthemic rock that landed the British quartet a near-permanent residence on record charts worldwide....
It was perhaps inevitable that Max McElligott would one day make an ornate pop album of near-symphonic grandeur named after a utopian place that came to him in a dream. It might not have been written in the stars that he would make said album, Suego Faults, with one of America's best producers, Dave Fridmann, nor that he would do it under the guise of Wolf Gang, but the rest now looks something like a certainty when you consider his background....
An international pop star -- despite repeated problems with labels that halted her career's momentum several times -- Sweden's Robyn blends the gritty sound of American urban R&B with the sunny pop of her homeland....

Dunkin' Donuts worker stops robber with hot coffee

A startled, but fast-moving cashier repelled a would-be burglar by throwing hot coffee in his face at a Dunkin' Donuts in West Haven, according to NBC Connecticut.
The suspect pulled up to the drive-through in a white Ford Explorer and asked her to make change of a $100 bill. When the employee wasn't able to do that, the driver told her it was a robbery and attempted to climb through the window.
The employee couldn't shut the window, because the man's arm was already inside. In a panic, she grabbed a pot coffee and doused him with hot java. The man escaped without getting any money and has not yet been caught.

Santiago Calatrava Wins European Steel Design Award for His Bridges at Reggio Emilia
The three bridges in Reggio Emilia, Italy, were inaugurated in late 2007. Photo: EFE
Valencian engineer and architect
Santiago Calatrava
has been distinguished with the European Steel Design Award for his three bridges on the A1 Motorway in the city of Reggio Emilia, Italy, according to sources from his office.
The award is given by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS) and it will be awarded during an international congress on construction with metal structures. The event will be held in Barcelona on September 16-18.
Architect, artist, and engineer Santiago Calatrava was born on July 28, 1951, in Valencia, Spain.
Calatrava attended primary and secondary school in Valencia. From the age of eight, he also attended the Arts and Crafts School, where he began his formal instruction in drawing and painting. When he was thirteen, his family took advantage of the recent opening of the borders and sent him to France as an exchange student. Upon completing high school in Valencia, he went to Paris with the intention of enrolling in the École des Beaux-Arts; but as he arrived in June 1968 during a period of student boycotts, he found his plan was unworkable. He returned to Valencia and enrolled in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, a relatively new institution, where he earned a degree in architecture and took a post-graduate course in urbanism. While at the school, he also undertook independent projects with a group of fellow students, bringing out two books on the vernacular architecture of Valencia and Ibiza.
Attracted by the mathematical rigor of certain great works of historic architecture, and feeling that his training in Valencia had given him no clear direction, Calatrava decided to pursue post-graduate studies in civil engineering and enrolled in 1975 at the ETH (Federal Institute of Technology) in Zurich. He received his Ph.D. in 1981.Ph.D. thesis: Concerning the Foldability of Spaceframes. It was during this period that he met and married his wife, who was a law student in Zurich.
After completing his studies, he took on small engineering commissions, such as designing the roof for a library or the balcony of a private residence. He also began to enter competitions, believing this to be the most likely way to secure commissions. His first winning competition proposal, in 1983, was for the design and construction of Stadelhofen Railway Station in Zurich, the city in which he established his first office.
In 1984, Calatrava, designed and built the Bach de Roda Bridge in Barcelona. This was the beginning of the bridge projects that established his international reputation. Among the other notable bridges that followed were the Alamillo Bridge and Cartuja Viaduct, commissioned for the Worlds Fair in Seville (1987-92); the Campo Volantin Footbridge in Bilbao (1990-97); and the Alameda Bridge and Metro Station in Valencia (1991-95).
Calatrava established his firms second office, in Paris, in 1989, when he was working on the Lyon Airport Station (1989-94). He opened his third office, in Valencia, in 1991 to facilitate work on a competition, a very large cultural complex and urban intervention there, the City of Arts and Sciences, to which Calatrava buildings are still being added. Other large-scale public projects from the late 1980s and 1990s include the BCE Place Galleria in Toronto (1987-92), the LyonSaint Exupéry Airport Railway Station, Satolas, France (1989-94), and the Oriente railway station in Lisbon (1993-98, commissioned for Expo 98).
Exhibitions of Calatravas work were first mounted in 1985, with a showing of nine sculptures in an art gallery in Zurich. A new stage in recognition was marked by two solo exhibitions: a retrospective at the Royal Institute of British Architects, London, in 1992, and the exhibition Structure and Expression at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1993. The latter exhibition included an installation in the museums Sculpture Garden of Shadow Machine, a large-scale sculpture with undulating concrete fingers. Santiago Calatrava:
Artist, Architect, Engineer, an exhibition of architectural models, sculpture and drawings was presented at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy (2000 - 2001). Similar exhibitions were mounted in 2001 in Dallas, Texas (to inaugurate the new Meadows Museum) and in Athens, at the National Gallery, Alexandro Soutzos Museum, and in 2003 at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. In 2005 two solo exhibitions of his work as an artist were mounted in New York, one at the Metropolitan Museum of Art titled Santiago Calatrava: Sculpture into Architecture and the second at the Queen Sofia Spanish Institute, Clay and Paint: Ceramics and Watercolors by Santiago Calatrava. In 2006 the exhibition Obra Reciente y Proceso de Creación de Santiago Calatrava was shown in Oviedo, Spain, at the University. In 2007 Es Baluard Museo dArt Modern i Contemporani de Palma in Majorca presented Santiago Calatrava: Escultures, Dbuixos i Ceràmiques and Santiago Calatrava: dalle forme allarchitettura was exhibited at the Quirinale Palace in Rome.
Projects completed since 2000 include Sondica Airport, Bilbao, Spain (2000); Pont de lEurope, Orléans, France (2000); Bodegas Ysios winery in Laguardia, Spain (2001); Puente de la Mujer in Buenos Aires (2001); Calatravas fi rst building in the United Statesthe expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (2001); James Joyce Bridge, Dublin, Ireland (2003); Auditorio de Tenerife, Santa Cruz, Canary Islands (2003); Three Bridges over the Hoofdvaart, Hoofdoorp, Holland (2004); Sundial Bridge, Redding, California, his fi rst bridge in the United States (2004); Athens Olympic Sports Complex (2004); Zurich University Law Faculty (2004); and Turning Torso Tower, Malmö, Sweden (2005); Petah Tikah Bridge, Israel (2006); and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía (2006), the most recent major building in Valencias City of Arts and Sciences, Three Bridges in Reggio Emilia, Italy - part of a complex that will include a new high speed railway station for the city (2007), Light Rail Way Bridge in Jerusalem, Israel (2008), Quarto Ponte sul Canal Grande, Venice, Italy (2008), and Serrería Bridge in Valencia, Spain (2008).

I love the TCO statement on a drive that hasn't issued a price. I will guess that this drive has a list price of 4 figures. So, saving me money? Hmm, maybe if I was going to buy an equivilent SSD alternative.

SHANGHAI Sinoma International Engineering, part of the China National Materials Group, has exited the steel trading business because of excessive risk and losses incurred last year.
The steel business has been abandoned in view of "the companys development needs," it said in its 2012 annual report.
The company saw negative growth for the first time in 2012, when sales of 21.2 billion yuan ($3.41 billion) were down 17.6 percent from the previous year and net income tumbled 51.3 percent to 763 million yuan ($122.74 million).
The unit responsible for steel trading, Sinoma Equipment & Engineering, posted a net loss of 360 million yuan ($57.91 million).A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Steel First.

(AP) - A homeless Kansas City man will soon have well over $100,000 after returning an engagement ring to a woman who accidentally dropped it in his cup earlier this month.
"I think in our world we often jump to like the worst conclusion, and it just makes you realize that there are good people out there," said Sarah Darling, whose fiancé set up a website seeking donations for Billy Ray Harris, the man who found the ring. By Monday, more than 6,000 people had donated more than $145,000 to the fund.
Harris, who frequently panhandles on Kansas City's Country Club Plaza, discovered the ring about an hour after Darling dumped spare change from her coin purse into his cup. She had taken off her ring earlier that day and put it with the coins.
"The ring was so big that I knew if it was real, it was expensive," Harris told KCTV.
Darling was horrorstruck when she realized the next day what she had done. She went back to Harris, squatted beside him and told him that she might have given him something valuable.
"'Was it a ring?'" he recalled asking her. "And she says, 'Yeah.' And I said 'Well, I have it.' "
Darling gave Harris all the cash she had in her wallet at the time.
"It seemed like a miracle," Darling said. "I thought for sure there was no way I would get it back."
In explaining why he didn't keep the ring, Harris said he had a religious upbringing.
"My grandfather was a reverend," Harris said. "He raised me from the time I was 6 months old and thank the good Lord, it's a blessing, but I do still have some character."

What are the odds for getting the last word in a debate with Barack Obama? If the moderator is Obama-sycophant Candy Crowley, the odds are 8 to 3 against you. Thats what happened to Mitt Romney in the second presidential debate. Of the eleven questions Crowley allowed to be asked, eight times Obama got the last word, while Crowley deigned to give Romney only three. Not only did Obama receive three more minutes to speak, he was also given the gift of ending the discussion. Heres how it played out:
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
This was what I was noticing as it was happening. Each man would get an opportunity to address the question, but then Obama got an extra turn at the end of that round.
I didn't expect much from Monica, and she certainly lived up to my expectations.
Of course, when Romney tried to do the same, she cut him off and moved on to the next question.
NO - I do NOT expect it - NEVER WILL! But I do expect continuous OUTRAGE at the obvious bias 'so called' liberal moderators and interfering with the election process! Beck, Levin, Rush, Sean SPEAK UP non stop and loudly.
I would say this. Thirty years ago...barely ten percent of people would have noticed this. Today? I'd say that sixty percent of those watching....noticed it. There's a perception of distrust now with reporters and journalists. Who watches CNN or buys the New York Times? That really says alot.
I think Romney wants the wussy journalists out in front of the statements....obviously making themselves look bad. It just adds another layer onto distrust of journalism.
Because they are way too obvious and bold about it as they have been getting away with it for years. Where is loud mouth Rove, Priebus, the rest on this?
To say the little affirmative action boy won is insulting! He can't do a damn thing on his own.
They are soooo brazen now everyone but the totally stoned noticed!
Had it been totally fair, the commentary would be gone in next news cycle. As it is, non-mms, talk radio, etc will be on this till Monday. Interest in the last debate will increase to see if Bob Schieffer (no slouch in the bias dept.) can top Candy's favoritism.
I was screaming about this last night. Then she kept promising Romney he'd get his chance! It was just a total effing joke!
The loudest voice in a storm is usually from the one most lost. The president's bland hortatory orations are sounding like clanging bells and getting too verbal is a symptom of a lost cause. Some people can talk under water with a mouth full of syrup but it gets them drowned eventually.
I don't think it mattered Obama had more time, in fact, it sure seems to have hurt him.
Look how many times he kept talking and ended up boxing himself in with his own lies. Libya, economy being the worst.
Fact is Romney capitalized well on his time, Obama didn't. Romney still won despite the debate being two on one.
Guess what? "Later" never came.
I noticed it as it was happening, but I thought that was something that was supposed to be regulated. I was wrong. Not only that, Crowley seemed determined to keep Romney from offering a rebuttal to Obama's many lies. Next moderator...Mark Levin. I hope.
She couldn't help herself. That's what leftist sluts do.
I noticed Obama was allowed the last remarks, and he brought up that 47% crap so Romney couldn't rebut. I have no doubt the fix was in on that.
Such a disgrace. Is there any recourse the Republicans can make regarding Crowley? Stop having anything to do with her on CNN? I don't know, but somehow they have to make it clear that this kind of conduct will not continue to be tolerated with Republicans expected to just grin and bear it.
Frankly, given her obvious advocacy rather than moderation (more time for Obama, more last words, less interruptions) i even have to wonder if she sent Obama the questions in advance. I mean, has he ever been so stutter-free sans a teleprompter? She doesn't deserve a benefit of the doubt about anything as far as i'm concerned. She did everything in her power to tilt the debate in favor of Obama. That's why she didn't want to be a "fly on the wall." And if she was willing to break some debates rules, what others might she have been willing to break?
The RNC, who probably agrees to these debate moderators, are Liberal idiots and enemies of their own Republican party.
Someone told me today that Crowley once told Mitt to SIT DOWN. I missed that part. Did anyone catch it?
Why do Republicans participate in these rigged debates?
Crowley had the transcript of the Rose Garden remarks by Obama. Why did she have it and HOW DID HE KNOW SHE HAD IT???
Does anyone else wonder about this?
"Beck, Levin, Rush, Sean SPEAK UP "
They shouldn't have to. The GOP/RNC has attorneys, paid handsomely I assume, whose job it is to approve debate moderators during debate negotiations. Both side create, and agree to, an MOU. They simply didn't do their job; they never do. It's shameful.

Msn ... A Great Tool For Google ?
Posted 27 September 2005 - 09:52 AM
If MSN is focusing so much on "onSite optimization" and shows the results so quickly, it can be a great tool to use when optimizing for Google and even Yahoo?
Here is what I mean .... how do you really know if your On Site changes are good for Google? There is no 100% answer because Google focuses more on Off Site optimization, so the only good way to test is to see how MSN is ranking your content.
If MSN loves it (on site), then you know you've done good On Site, and now it's time to work on Off Site optimization for google.
Tell me if you agree or disagree with this logic.
Posted 27 September 2005 - 10:58 AM
Google doesn't say it focuses more on off-site optimization. That's just what people across scattered SEO sites tell you, and they have no factual foundation for making such assertions.
If you check out Google's Webmaster guidelines, you'll see they emphasize on-site optimization. Yes, they are concerned about link inflation, and naturally have an incentive to discourage people from looking at off-site factors.
But I've been using on-site factors to rank highly on Google for years. The reason on-site optimization works is that you have to establish relevance, and it's easier to do that through on-site optimization than through off-site optimization.
Each search engine looks at the available on-site and off-site data in different ways, but the fundamentals generally work across the board.
I can usually expect one of my sites to rank in the top ten for all four majors (Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and Ask). The rankings are not necessarily identical, but they are usually close. There are some exceptions, where a site that ranks well on 2-3 might rank poorly on 1-2. But most of them hit the top ten across the board.
You don't achieve that kind of consistency by dodging bullets and optimizing for specific algorithms.
Posted 27 September 2005 - 12:57 PM
In our market .... 70% of sites use around 200+ words on home page copy. AND they try to optimize it. The #1 company in our industry that has been around for some time now has the BEST ranking. Home page = 30 words. Their title tags .... very poor. No headlines...
So this is something that I am pushing off of.
The real question was not that Google doesn't consider on site optimization. My question was if the logic I am trying to see in this, is in fact something close to what I notice.
If you do on site changes, you won't necessarily see them working for you on Google in a week. BUT with MSN you do see it.
Posted 27 September 2005 - 01:57 PM
I used to find the same thing with Yahoo - good on-page factors attracted good rankings for certain search strings where Google tended to prefer pages/sites that had less relevance (in terms of on-page content) but stronger linking. It seemed to be especially true with less competitive search phrases, but that's just a personal impression. Lately, Yahoo has been less "Lyn-friendly" than it once was so I'm not sure how to appraise it with respect to your question.
I have no doubt that strong SEO work on all factors will produce good results on all SEs. But I'm sure that you'll see fairly different results on different SEs if your SEO work has focused on one range of factors at the expense of others.

I assure you there are doorway pages out there right now which have few words on them but are ranking well above heavily linked Web sites.
Linkage is not nearly as important as people make it out to be. You cannot simply look at what your market does. You have to look at what everyone's market does, because there is far more information out there than what any one market provides.
You could be evaluating 30 hyperoptimized sites that have absolutely no need or justification for relying on inbound linkage (except that they may now have forced themselves into that).
The bottom line is that optimizing for Google is never as cut-and-dried as "all you need are links because that is how everyone else does it".
I have pages that hit number 1 out of 88,000,000 possible hits, and they are zooming past link-heavy major commercial sites that have FAR MORE links coming in than my entire network.
Trust me when I say, I DO see such changes work with Google in a week. And other people do, too. They're just not as vocal and visible as I am. I'm not speaking for the silent masses. I'm speaking about the first-line SEOs who rarely say anything about how they do what they do.
Not all of them are spammers, but quite a few of them are.
Many of them get by on content, too.

About the doorway pages for our competitor .... I really doubt it. It's a very respected company, 30+ years in business and publicly traded. No doorway pages there. It just has 30000 links while others have about 1100
Posted 27 September 2005 - 04:40 PM
Maybe I'm misreading, but I don't the question was whether you must have links to rank well on Google. It was whether MSN's apparently-more-simplistic algo offers a quick'n'dirty way to see whether your on-page content is up to snuff compared to competitive sites.
I think it could, just because MSN seems to put most of its weight on on-page factors. That doesn't mean Google disregards your on-page work.
Posted 27 September 2005 - 04:46 PM
I make no guarantees about what your content will do for you.
I didn't say your competitor was using doorways.
However, you did specify very little content on competitive pages. That works a lot like doorways.
It doesn't take a lot of content to rank well on Google. Nor does it take a lot of links. That doesn't stop people from using plenty of both or either.
You asked if we agree or disagree with your logic. I disagree, and I do so because I know that I can get new content to rank well on Google with few inbound links.
If you're so convinced that only linkage matters on Google, then why ask for agreement or disagreement?
If you're looking for consensus, it's almost guaranteed that most people in the SEO community believe that links matter more than anything else with Google. Google seems to disagree with them because the Google docs and papers talk about relevance as well as PageRank (two separate topics), and because Google says that PageRank is only one of about 100 factors taken into consideration. The academic community who study search engines and write technical papers on the subject disagree with them. I disagree with them.
So what?
Everyone knows that linkage works with Google. I'm not disputing that. But it's not a requirement, except as required by the hypercompetitiveness of a few industries where people have invested heavily in linkage.
Posted 27 September 2005 - 10:11 PM
Pianist, MSN is probably the easiest to rank with via just on-page factors at the moment. I can't say I've studied it very much because I just don't see enough traffic from MSN to really care at the moment.
But the caveat is that from what I understand, you can pretty much keyword stuff on MSN and do well. That doesn't mean you can keyword stuff (and build links) and do well in Yahoo and/or Google. They have much more sophisticated algos that apparently notice certain thresholds. When they are reached, it will effect you negatively as opposed to positively.
MSN is a few years behind Yahoo and Google in that respect.
Posted 28 September 2005 - 06:16 AM
But it never appears in Google until late.
This could be related to Google taking a long time to index.
They don't even take notice until I set up a linking strategy.
But if you type in sugar free paradise into MSN you'll see my testing001 site at #2. Check out #1! and you'll see exactly how MSN works when you view the source code!
Posted 28 September 2005 - 07:22 AM
That and the aging delay.
Posted 28 September 2005 - 08:13 AM
A per the experience in SEO field have some difference in the G and MSN optimize. Its true msn is giving import. on Onpage factor only and thats the reason it is easy to get the rank in it compare to Google. If you say which one is more important in google Onpage or Offpage. Then definitely my vote will go Offpage. I had seen lot of site that nothing had done on the page but having good quality inbound link got the rank in high serps.
Posted 28 September 2005 - 10:03 AM
My point was that small content can rank well on its own in Google because it is relevant to the search queries for which it ranks well.
Doorway pages prove that is so because they rely on small content and seldom have many inbound links.
So, looking at a competitor's 30-word page and 10,000 links and concluding that the high ranking is due to the links is jumping the gun. You cannot determine on the basis of how many backlinks a site has whether its rankings are due to on-page or off-page factors.
That is what I am trying to say to Pianist.
It's not all about links with Google. It never has been. Maybe in the future it will be, but right now it's not.
Posted 28 September 2005 - 12:33 PM
But you're only partially right about Google. You are right that it's certainly not all about links, but for competitive keyword phrases, links are extremely valuable.
Of course, without supporting content, the links won't generally help either.
Google (like all engines) are about both content AND links.

This is a YPT nightmare! You'd pretty much have to make that two adults. I think a tick inspection by a health care professional every other day or so might do better. In this way, the boys have a little more privacy. Any way you go, though, it's a logistical and/or YPT mess.

If one more person tells me how much "better" a nine-month deployment is than a twelve, I may have to punch them in the face. Well, not really, but I'd imagine doing it as I smiled back.
This is not easier, at least not on our 4th go-round.
Chatting with my core group of friends up here last night, all of us are feeling the lack of mid-tour weighing us down, weighing our aviators down. There's no respite this time, no anticipation to shorten the month before midtour, no fifteen day break to catch our breath and hold our loves before tackling a 2nd half. This time, we're starting out war-weary, all of us, husbands and wives alike, grinding ourselves down until there's simply nothing left of what reserves we had. There's feeling of exhaustion clinging to us all that hasn't been there in prior deployments, but we're pushing through. As we sat there last night, passing a bottle of wine and listening to our kids live up their summer vacation in the back yard, it dawned on me: we all have awesome marriages.
That's something to be immensely proud of in the normal world, but in the military sub-culture, where the divorce rate is even higher per 2011 data, that's something to celebrate. All five of us have been with our husbands over a decade, and almost all of us have been married over that same amount of time. Between the five of us, who are all in our early thirties, we have 58 years of marriage... we also have 21 deployments.
Realizing that we'd have a kid old enough to drink for the amount of deployments we've seen was sobering. Somewhere along this journey, no matter how young we feel, or how little we think we may have it together, we became the seasoned spouses. In our group, we all have separate talents and skills, some of us keep perfect houses, some of us (ahem, me, ahem) don't. Some of us are in college, some of us have graduated. Some of us hold down jobs, some of us feel like our job is the designated taxi-driver for our kids. But with all these differences, there are two similarities:
1. We are all strong, competent women.
2. We all are desperately in love with our husbands.
To me, loving Jason is easy. It's like breathing: so ingrained into my every moment that I barely notice it happens, but I know it's necessary for my survival. Loving Jason isn't something I take for granted, not in the least, but it's never up for debate or worry; it simply is. However, when he's deployed, we take extra measures to make sure our marriage is as awesome as it can be when separated by 6,000 miles, and a lot of these are the same as my friends. So in case you're struggling, or you just don't want to struggle, here are some ideas:
1. We send packages. You should have heard us last night, laughing about the amount of money we all dump into care packages. Especially now, during draw-down, when we want to make sure they're well-fed and not just stuck on MRE's. If there's something Jason needs, I hunt it down and send it immediately. Is it a pain? Sure, sometimes lugging four kids through Walmart is kind of the last thing I want to do, but let's face it: I'm not being shot at by the Taliban. He is. Therefore, if he wants the blueberry pancake mix and the electric skillet, then that's what he's getting.
2. We're available to them 24/7. I haven't heard a single wife in our group complain about middle-of-the-night phone calls. Instead, we've got our cell phones out while we're watching our kids playing together, anticipating the small moments in their schedules we might hear from them. Maybe we look rude (I did this with Jason while touring a destroyer ship), but my husband is my number one priority. Some stranger's opinion of me? Yeah, not even on my care-chart.
3. We don't frequent the bars. Jason's been gone nearly four months, and I've got out once. Even funnier? I drove to Jason's hometown of Scranton and went out with his best friends (to whom I am so grateful), because I knew that would make Jason super comfortable. That doesn't mean we in our group of wives don't go out if we're desperate to blow off steam. It means that we don't make a habit of it. My personal opinion? I treat Jason how I'd like to be treated if I were in his shoes. I wouldn't want him at the bar every weekend, so I show him the respect he would definitely show me.
4. We voice our concerns. In our group, we're an open bunch with our husbands. If something is bothering me, Jason knows. We've even been known to argue during a deployment (but we always settle it before communication is severed). Why? Because it doesn't matter that he's at war, he's still my husband, my partner, my best friend. I keep him as informed as if he were here. I share my worries, and I share his. That's the definition of partnership right? 6,000 miles is only the physical distance that separates us, there's not even a millimeter between the spirits of our hearts.
5. We keep it cutesy. Yeah, we're the ones on Facebook, posting annoying messages about our utter love and devotion. Get over it. ;) If there's an opportunity for me to show him how much I love him, I do it, and he does too.
6. We talk about money. Oh, don't you shake your head at me. There are a ton of marriages that can fall apart over finances, and this is just the same during deployment. I know what he's spending, and we keep a handle on where we're at. Talk about money, it's really not that scary.
7. We're faithful. I know, that should go without saying, right? Well, there's only room for two of us in this marriage, so we keep it that way. This is the easiest part, because for me, there's no one else I would rather be with in the world, so waiting the length of a deployment is a drop in the bucket compared to the life we still have ahead of us.
8. We're our husband's porn. Yup. I just said the word porn. Look! I said it again! Dirty, I know. Oh yes, we're that group of girls, the ones who pulled off the 1940's style pin-up pictures last deployment and sent them straight to Afghanistan. There were some happy aviators that Christmas. ;) Point is, and you can think it's icky if you want, but I have no problem sending him something a little visual that keeps him wanting to come home to me. Oh, that being said, I always err on the side of class. While the pics may be sexy, they're never trashy, so if a soldier comes across them, there's never ANYTHING to be embarrassed of. Oh, but if you're the girl who's sending the *ahem*ahem*... um... let's say... "skintastic" shots? More power to you. There's zero judgment from this side of the house. Way to keep those home fires burnin'. Trust me ladies, 9 months of foreplay makes for some SMOKIN' HOT reunions. ;)
*Okay, inappropriate hoping-my-mother-doesn't-read comment over.*
For the last two, I asked the other half of my marriage, my amazing husband. I figured I'd see what meant the most to him while he's gone.
9. We place our first priority on each other and our communication. He's right. If I know he's going to be off work and online, I make sure I'm home. He gets up an hour early sometimes to carve out the time to talk to me, and has been doing this for 3 deployments now (since the first had about zero contact besides the sketchy phones). If there are moments we can steal, whether it's through email, chat, skype, or old fashioned letters, we do. It doesn't matter that we're 6,000 miles apart, we are still each other's first priority. Well, I certainly don't argue if his first priority shifts to like... staying alive... when it needs to. Sigh.
10. It's the little things. When I asked Jason what kept our marriage rocking during deployment, this was his second answer. It's the little things. It's sending him a box full of tiny boxes, each filled with 33 different types of candies for his 33rd birthday.
It was sending him a photo album with 33 pictures, each captioned with a reason (some by the boys, some by me) that we love him. It's the forethought in a package, the time it takes to send a simple out-of-the-blue text that I love him. For me, the little things mean him texting me when he's done flying, so I know he's safe. It's finding a surprise letter in the mailbox, or discovering the note he hid in my writing notebook. Its when he took the time to arrange childcare and my hair appointment for mother's day. Little things make our worlds go around until we can be together again.
So that's it, well, kind of. Those are the big things at least. I don't think there's any real way to list out what makes a marriage work during a deployment, but these are a few of the things that work for us.
Most importantly, all you need is love. *Love me some Lennon*
So from us, these five wives, the mothers of thirteen children, with 58 years of marriage and 21 years of deployment between us: If there's one thing we can agree on, it's that love knows no time, no obstacle, no distance, and NO DEPLOYMENT that it cannot conquer.

What freedoms has anyone lost since Nov of 2008? I'm just curious, because I keep hearing that we live in a socialist country now and our illegal immigrant kenyan muslim president has been trampling the constitution like a grape stomper non-stop for four years. So I started counting all the freedoms I lost since 2008. Here's what I came up with.
1. Smoking inside. Nope, that was like 2003. And Obama had nothing to do with it anyway.
2. Using a long-putter. Nope, that was the USGA and it doesn't kick in until 2016.
3. Praying in school. Nope, I can pray in any school I want to any god I want...silently.
4. Charging my work-related flights to my own credit card so I can accumulate the Amex points. Nope, that was my company and I'm pretty sure Obama doesn't work for us.
That's it. Turns our I haven't lost any freedoms. What about y'all?
Are you ignorant to the fact that Obama signed the 2012 NDAA bill that gives the president the power to kill or imprison indefinitely anyone including U.S. citizens who he decides is a terrorist. This means the president can now kill or incarcerate any of us without proving we are guilty.
Are you sure you haven't lost any freedoms?

Brad Keselowski Crew Chief Paul Wolfe is MOOG® 'Problem Solver of the Race' at Charlotte
Southfield, Michigan, October 14, 2013.Reigning NASCAR® Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski overcame a slow start to capture his first win of the year, and his crew chief, Paul Wolfe, kept his hopes alive in the battle for the $100,000 MOOG® Steering and Suspension "Problem Solver of the Year" Award in Saturday night's Bank of America 500 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway. Wolfe's call for four new tires during the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford's final pit stop proved to be the difference maker and ultimately helped the crew chief earn his third MOOG "Problem Solver of the Race" Award of 2013, moving him into a three-way tie for second place in the year-end MOOG standings. Sponsored by MOOG Steering and Suspension manufacturer Federal-Mogul Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML), the weekly Problem Solver award is presented to the crew chief whose car posts the best second-half improvement in average lap time while finishing on the lead lap. At the end of the season, Federal-Mogul presents the $100,000 Problem Solver of the Year Award to the crew chief with the most weekly wins. The Penske Racing-owned No. 2 Ford Fusion improved by a race-best 0.082 seconds over the final 167 laps at Charlotte. While Keselowski and Wolfe's MOOG-equipped Fusion finished the night in impressive fashion, it struggled (23rd) during Friday's qualifying session and in the first 100 laps of Saturday night's Chase event. The low point came following a Lap 87 stop when Keselowski exited pit road with a jack lodged beneath the car's chassis. Following that mishap, however, the No. 2 quickly found its stride, with Keselowski methodically picking up track position over the next 150 laps. Still, the driver and crew chief weren't certain they could run with race leaders Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne - whose MOOG-equipped Chevrolets led 130 and 138 laps, respectively - until the four-tire call with 27 laps to go. The Miller Lite Ford restarted sixth then worked its way forward, finally capturing the lead on a beautiful inside move with eight laps remaining. "Paul made a great call during that last stop - they had nothing to lose by opting for four tires in that situation," said Federal-Mogul Motorsports Director Tim Nelson. "Once Brad got back out on the track, it was obvious he had a lot of more confidence and their MOOG-equipped chassis was set up perfectly for a drag race to the finish." Wolfe's third weekly MOOG Problem Solver award moves him to within just one win of leaders Matt Borland (crew chief for Ryan Newman, No. 39 Chevrolet) and Gil Martin (Kevin Harvick, No. 29 Chevrolet) with five races to go. Joining Wolfe in second place are Todd Gordon (Joey Logano, No. 22 Ford) and Kevin Manion (Jamie McMurray, No. 1 Chevrolet), while two crew chiefs sit just two back. "Tonight's race showed that Brad and Paul both still have a lot to fight for," Nelson said. "They've faced a lot of hardship on the track this year, but the MOOG Problem Solver of the Year trophy would be the ideal way to finish off the year." MOOG Steering and Suspension is the preferred brand of professional technicians and NASCAR crew chiefs, and MOOG components are recognized as the automotive service industry's "Problem Solver," with innovative designs that improve on original parts by providing increased durability, improved performance and easier installation. Many of the same MOOG technologies utilized in Sprint Cup competition are featured in MOOG ball joints, tie rod ends and other components available for today's passenger vehicles.

LONDON. As rioting and looting spread through north London on 8 August, a select group of VIPs who had been invited to the opening of Ron Arad's Curtain Call, a screen made of 5,600 silicon rods, at Camden's Roundhouse, unexpectedly found themselves in the middle of the ensuing drama. Guests were due to move on to another venue for dinner, but on police orders, were kept inside the Roundhouse until 2am when the rioting outside had begun to subside. Emergency silver foil blankets and water were supplied, according to guests.
The launch of Mat Collishaw's collaboration with Arad, who has invited some of his favourite artists to create works for the curtain, was cancelled the following night, at the request of Collishaw's gallery, Blain/Southern. Collishaw's Sordid EarthM, together with Christian Marclay's Pianorama, opened on 24 August instead.
