"Winning the gold medal in the 2006 Olympics was pretty surreal," he said.
"I still kind of shake my head when I think about winning the gold medal because I was so young and it was really cool to win the gold. To hear the national anthem and stand on top of the podium was a really surreal experience."
While his career is on an upward trajectory, Ligety downplays suggestions that he will be carrying main U.S. hopes at the Russian resort next February.
"It's far enough away so much can change between now and then. Bode and Lindsey should be healthy for the Olympics so we will have a very strong team besides myself."
Commercial venture
That 2006 victory opened up other commercial opportunities, and Ligety cleverly exploited his nickname to start a similarly-titled company specializing in custom-made helmet and goggle combinations.
"I was a crazy kid and would go straight line moguls and was willing to push myself to another level. And, you know, it rhymes with Ted, so 'Ted Shred' was what I was called."
Ligety may have had a wild streak as a teenager, but he has adopted the same levelheaded approach to business as his skiing career, partnering a friend who brought technical expertise to the venture.
"It's nice to have the distraction of running a company. I wouldn't say I do the day-to-day business side of it just because it would be impossible with my schedule, but it's a fun distraction to take it away from the grind of always traveling and ski racing."
His products are worn by a growing number of fellow World Cup skiers, including Alexis Pinturault, a young Frenchman who beat Ligety into third place as he claimed his maiden World Cup giant slalom win at Garmisch-Partenkirchen last weekend.
It was a rare defeat in giant slalom this season for Ligety, who has taken advantage of a change in the length of skis and their turning circle to dominate the discipline.
Outspoken critic
Ironically, Ligety was an outspoken critic of the rule changes introduced by world governing body, the FIS, and was perplexed that as a leading competitor he wasn't consulted on the changes.
"I wasn't even talked to about it or asked if I thought it was a good idea, it just happened and I thought it was done in a very improper manner," he said.
He quickly put that lack of consultation to one side when he won an early-season race by more than two and a half seconds -- the margins are usually tenths of seconds -- and Ligety is still waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.
The American believes the new regulations play to his strengths as a near 10-year veteran of the circuit and because of his style of starting the turns around the gates a little earlier and finishing a little later.
"It allows me to be cleaner on the edge and accelerate more out of the turns," he said.
Using gravity
As a youngster he was inspired by the exploits of Tommy Moe -- "my first ski hero" -- who won gold and silver at the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer.
Skiing since the age of two, Ligety started competing seriously as a 10-year-old, progressing through the ranks to make the full U.S. ski team by the team he had left high school.
However, his early Olympic success in Turin, becoming the first American since Moe to claim a skiing gold, was not matched in the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver where he finished fifth behind teammate Miller in his super combined title defense.
A ninth place finish in the giant slalom was also a disappointment.
But 2011 saw Ligety claim his first world title, winning the giant slalom at Garmisch and then going on to clinch his third World Cup crown in his favored discipline.
For Ligety, the 2013-14 season will bring promise of finally winning the overall World Cup title -- "that's been my goal since I was a little kid" -- and truly cementing his status as the No.1 racer.
"I think a lot of guys are faster skiers than me but they might not necessarily have the same mental fortitude as me," he said.

Hello all
I have started identifying areas of the game that need work and areas of the game that work fine and have outlined them in my Blog below.
I wish to mention that the problem finding places to sell goods too makes shops a good first mod for many players because not only has bethesda done all the hard work and providing smithy, alchemly, cooking, enchanting and other functional items. But it means any shop mod is going to be a primative quest mod with lots of eye candy and that should make these perfect noobie mods. I'll be looking at the quest stuff when we get the editing and will write a tutorial on it after that. This may well be the first tutorial I write as I master the new system.
The other things I have noticed that will be my own pet projects is the lack of depth to most of the Guilds, so I will attempt to fix that. After I have played them all of course. Also the Civil War quest line is a bit of joke.
Thankfully the core gameplay includes many features for mods for oblivion, including a few thousand features from my own oblivion mods so I do not have to remake those again, I can focus on brand new mod ideas this time around and add to whats already there.
If you have any thoughts on what the game is lacking and want to share them with me, please do so below.
I can make full sized kvatch mod in 3 months on my own, so nothing you suggest here is going to phase me, you can think as big or as small as you like but I will only make mods I personally find exciting and interesting so do not be shocked if I show little interest in some ideas, its part of the process I am afraid.

B A+F Health & Safety: They have call boxes and campus police on campus 24/7. I don't think I've ever felt so safe on a campus in my entire life.
A A+F Health & Safety: I always see police driving around campus, and there are emergency call boxes everywhere on campus. I feel very safe on campus by myself.
C A+F Health & Safety: It is pretty safe on campus but one time, my friend and I hit the safety button that can be found all the way around campus and we were there for 10 minutes and no one showed up
A A+F Health & Safety: UNCW does a good job at making people feel safe. There are emergency buttons all around campus to press if you're feeling uneasy.
A- A+F Health & Safety: Campus crime includes smoking pot, drinking underage, and bike theft. Occasionally dorm theft. Police are good about marking the bikes so they can tell if its yours if they find it and persecute the criminal. Also, the school has multiple call boxes on campus. Which is good if you don't want to walk back to your dorm alone.

Written by Chloe Miller
Campus safety at the University of North Carolina Wilmington is a priority and is executed thoroughly. Students feel very safe on campus, so much so that walking alone at night isn't questioned. However, students should still use common sense and always keep in mind that something could happen. Escort services are readily available if there is a late night at the library. UNCW has its own campus police force, not part of the greater Wilmington community, and is always patrolling around campus. The campus police are fully sworn officers, and their presence is very noticeable. There are call-boxes located all around campus, and from each box you should be able to see another. At night, the call-boxes have a lit blue light on the top, so they're very visible. If a student ever feels unsafe or if there is an emergency, he or she can press the button on the nearest call-box and talk directly to a UNCW campus police dispatcher. If a button is pressed and campus police don't hear a reply, they're going to assume it's an emergency and will be at that location quickly. The biggest crime on campus is "bike borrowing": If a student doesn't lock up his or her bike, it will get taken. So, students who bring a bike to campus should get it registered at the police station on campus. The residence halls all have 24-hour front desk personnel in the lobby that keep track of who is entering the building, making sure only students who live there can gain access. Visitors are welcome but just have to be signed in separately. UNCW students are kept very well-informed about anything happening on campus, such as siren tests or weather threats.
The Student Health Center, located in DePaolo Hall, is very accessible and convenient. It's free to go see a registered nurse if there is a concern, but costs will be applied for any tests or prescriptions filled. The pharmacy is convenient for students wanting to pick up any regular prescriptions on campus rather than off.

Today's guest blog is written by Benjamin Gladden, husband and father of three, who's currently logging lots of hours in the "What makes for a good marriage and parent" department. He writes from his home in Framingham, Massachusetts.
About three years ago I got laid off from a job that I absolutely loved. I could have sat in that chair doing that work for the rest of my life and been very happy.
It hadn't been easy managing the care of three children while my wife and I both worked full-time, but I really loved the work. It was completely fulfilling.
But then I got laid off.
The severance package I received included a class on resume writing, job interviews, etc. The resume tips were useful, but the most helpful part of the class was a little flier in our folders that discussed the emotional state of the person who just lost their job.
This little sheet talked about the need to take care of yourself emotionally and spiritually. But it also stressed the importance of taking care of your relationships–like your marriage. Continue reading

Shortly after NASA's Curiosity rover touched down on Mars, the robot poked its head up and started taking a look around.
The rover snapped the pictures in the above mosaic on August 8, just days after Curiosity arrived on the Red Planet, using its stereo navigation cameras (Navcam) atop the rover's necklike mast. Photographer, writer and chemist Ken Kremer and photographer and educator Marco Di Lorenzo stitched the photographs together into a composite. The central gap in the mosaic arises from the use of left- and right-eye Navcam images. Kremer and Di Lorenzo also colorized the mosaic—Navcam photos are monochrome—to try to match the look of the terrain as captured by Curiosity's color Mast Camera (Mastcam).
The rover's tilted, finned power plant—a plutonium-fuel source that generates electricity through the heat of radioactive decay—is visible to the right. The vertical cylinder above houses the rover's UHF antenna. In the background is the rising rim of Gale Crater, the 150-kilometer-wide basin that Curiosity will explore during its roughly two-year mission.
When will the public be able to experience these "stereo navigation cameras" 3D pictures? All the talk (left-and-right-eye Navcam) images suggest this is indeed intended. I think with today's 3D televisions this would be mind blowing - like being there.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIn the background in gale crater, surface appears quite smooth plain with granular soil and small gravels scattered around as on earth. Does this indicates some similarity with earth surface in terms of composition and structure? It appears that surface might have been washed by some water stream in past which might have led to the formation of granular soil and gravels
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe geology community is a little disappointed to date. It appears we've landed in an area of basaltic formations. Ugh! Fingers crossed that we'll drive out of this but very doubtful given the limited range of exploration.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhy are basaltic formations a disappointment? Please explain, for people like me who don't know geology.
Does your basaltic formation pessimism extend to the entire Gale crater? In a month or so we'll reach a spot dubbed Glenelg, where three different types of terrain meet, and in a year we'll climb Aeolis Mons, AKA Mount Sharp. Do you expect it all to be basaltic formations and disappointing?
cbung, keep in mind that expensive 3D TV or computer equipment wouldn't be needed to see in 3D. We could have split-screens. If views from left and right cameras were reversed (and carefully alligned, you could see them in 3-D just by looking cross-eyed, if you don't mind looking silly. Without reversing, you'd need a viewer using mirrors. Why this is never done today, I don't know.

A stunning end to a historic try at the Triple Crown the champion horse I'll have another.
Is out and likely will never race again that's from his trainer who says he retired divorce after a leg injuries and -- denied us.
It comes just a day before the horse was set to run in the Belmont Stakes the Kentucky Derby and preakness winner was on track to get that Triple Crown.
Something no -- no horse has done more than three decades.
Today is trainer told reporters that the horse is fine but racing just isn't worth the risk -- listen.
He's done so much that.
It was unanimous.
Between their atoms and my brother and I and everyone at the barn two to retire amend and it is bomber but again.
Far from tragic but it but it is very disappointing.
No the tragic would be the hat at any rate it disappoint her fans as well I'll have another was the favorite to win tomorrow's race the chief -- correspondent Jonathan what is at this.
In New York hello Jonathan this horse was a had a real shot at making history here.
Yeah I'll have another was a very strong favorite to win -- here tomorrow in the Belmont Stakes.
-- and thus win the Triple Crown if I'll have another have done that.
He would have been the -- first -- to achieve that remarkable feat since affirmed.
Back in 1978.
-- those close to all have another.
I've been saying very little about his fall all week but -- -- read him.
Revealed at his news conference today that all along that they'd been quietly confident listen.
I really thought it was gonna run off the -- -- tomorrow and really show something so.
We're on that shock but we have to do what's best for the horse.
And if he can't compete at the top level.
You know he's done enough.
So he has certainly done enough to cozy retirement -- -- and that's exactly what I'll have another.
-- head to on Sunday or Monday when he goes back home -- he's going -- when did they realized something was wrong with him.
How well they cinema for a Gallup -- night and apparently came back with some swelling in that left the front.
Leg at that point they had hoped that it was perhaps just a bumpy -- picked up.
They treated and then this morning he looked fine apparently and they sent him out for a very early -- 5:30 AM.
But when he came back they realize the swelling.
Had also come back much of this may have everybody including trainer Doug O'Neill listen.
That's human or equine athlete when you give a 110% every time it's happened -- court her on the track.
-- your suspect to.
Injury and I had been open a brand.
He would stay injury free and and you know it didn't happen.
So a huge disappointment to millions of race fans although they would all no doubt prefer.
To see all have another have the -- -- to grow old gracefully.
Rather than a greater tragedy to happen on this racetrack tomorrow if that injury have not been discovered and they will have a loss Johns.
To say goodbye when I'll have another.
Leads the post parade here at the Belmont Stakes tomorrow afternoon -- Jonathan Hunt and Belmont New York tonight Jonathan thanks.
The tragedy.

Recipe by CAROLYNSUE
"Brunches are a big hit in our family. They think this recipe makes the best waffles of all and it is easily doubled or tripled. I sprinkle blueberries or pecans on top of the batter for those who want them just before closing the waffle iron --- it's definitely my favorite way to have them. Plus, you can make the batter the night before!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Makes good waffles. I added some vanilla for more flavor. I like the make-ahead feature a lot - saves time in the morning when you need to put breakfast on the table in a hurry.
Maybe I did something wrong, it was very runny. Tasted ok, texture was perfect, lightly crispy.

These are fabulous waffles and so quick & easy to make. I altered the recipe a bit by using only 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, 1/2 t. of vanilla extract, 1/2 t. of cinnamon, dash of nutmeg and sprinkled pecans of the batter after pouring it into the iron. My husband raved over these waffles! By the way, left over batter rises beautifully in the fridge, making the next day's batch of waffles even fluffier.
THE best waffles we've ever had. EVER. I only made one change and that's using whole wheat white flour. I kept everything else the same (only using organic where I could). I laugh at the eight servings because my boys ate every single waffle I made. I made Absolute Best Pancake Syrup special to go with these waffles and it really just.....wow. Really off-the-charts yummy.
These are really great waffles. They are so light and fluffy, and crisp on the outside. I used half whole wheat pastry flour and you couldn't even tell any whole wheat was in there. My kids just loved these and kept asking for more- even my one-year old (who just ate his plain). I chose this recipe because it used buttermilk and didn't involve whipping the egg whites separately. I also liked the fact that it used yeast. I have some batter leftover so I'll have to see how that is tomorrow.
For 2 generations my family has been beating eggwhites to make waffles....now I've found this recipe that is SO much easier to make, and is DELICIOUS! THANK YOU!!
Finally, a waffle that is light, fluffy, and flavorful! These were excellent...we added a little vanilla, and maybe a tsp of flour to thicken it up, but otherwise it was perfect. Just like a restaurant!
very good! Came out perfact you should think into selling those waffles. make batter night before and great

Colombia: FARC plot to murder Uribe
Friday, November 15th, 2013While the travesty "peace negotiations"are held in Havana (as if that wasn't a bad enough sign), the FARC is trying to kill former president Álvaro Uribe:
The assassination was being plotted by the Farc's Teofilo Forero Mobile Column, under the command of a rebel known as Paisa, said Mr Pinzon.
As you may recall, just last week the Colombian government had announced a "fundamental agreement" with the FARC, but we don't know the details.
The FARC have not disarmed, and have continued their attacks.

Statistically, Tiger had one of the best putting weeks of his career at Trump Doral. (Ehrmann/Getty Images)
By PGATOUR.COM staff
One of the big reasons why Tiger Woods won the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship last week was his success on the greens at the TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral. The 100 putts that he needed during the four rounds was the lowest total of his career at a four-round event, but that only tells part of the stastical story. Take a look at these numbers:
MOST PUTTS MADE OVER 8 FEET (Tiger Woods in the ShotLink era)
Year | Event | Total putts over 8 feet |
2004 | World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship | 17 |
2013 | World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship | 16 |
2007 | Wells Fargo Championship | 16 |
2004 | Deutsche Bank Championship | 16 |
2003 | Deutsche Bank Championship | 16 |
TIGER'S 27 BIRDIES AT WGC-CADILLAC (by feet)
Among Tiger's 27 birdies last week, he had one hole-out from off the green (first round, fourth hole) and one 2-putt birdie (third round, first hole)
Distance | Number of birdies |
0-3 feet | 6 |
3-6 feet | 6 |
6-10 feet | 7 |
10-15 feet | 2 |
15-20 feet | 5 |
Over 20 feet | 1 |
Total | 27 |
MOST STROKES-GAINED PUTTING IN AN EVENT (Tiger Woods since 2004)
Woods outperformed the field by nearly eight total strokes on the greens, ranking second in the field for strokes gained-putting. The only person better on the greens last week was Steve Stricker, who just happened to provide Tiger with some putting tips at the beginning of the week.
Last week's putting performance by Woods was his second-best performance on the greens since ShotLink began tracking strokes gained-putting data in 2004.
Year | Tournament | Finish | SGP rank | Avg./Rd | Total SGP |
2004 | Wells Fargo Champ. | T3 | 1st | +2.34 | +9.37 |

By Gregg Steinberg, Special to PGATOUR.COM
One of the hardest mental skills to possess is to stay motivated to practice and compete, day in and day out. Tiger Woods has had this skill since he joined the PGA TOUR in 1996.
How does Tiger keep that fire inside him to burn so brightly?
One of the main factors is his pursuit of the golden idol: He wants to break Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. However, another key ingredient to his amazing motivation is his mastery orientation. Although Tiger wants to be the best in the game, he also relishes improvement. He constantly tinkers with his game in his continually pursuit to get better.
Case in point at this week's World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship: Tiger worked with Steve Stricker on his putting mechanics (who ironically finished second at the event). Stricker told Tiger to square his stance a bit and weaken his left hand so that the hands would be farther ahead of the clubhead. It worked wonderfully. Woods not only won the tournament, but also had a career-low 100 putts for a PGA TOUR event and rolled in an amazing 27 birdies.
Tiger has intuitively hit upon what sports psychology researchers have already discovered. Mastery oriented golfers are more likely to enjoy their sport, be less anxious, be less likely to burn out, and ultimately perform better.
Does your fire burn brightly for continual improvement, or are you satisfied with your current scoring ability?
If you want to develop a greater mastery orientation in your golf game like Tiger, here are some of my mental game recommendations:
1) Don't be afraid to get worse before you get better. A lot of golfers are not willing to tinker with their game because it may hurt their scores. Let go of the "score mentality" and develop more of a "learning mentality."
2) Evaluate your mistakes on the course as learning opportunities. Begin to see your bad shots as a roadmap for what to work on in your next practice session.
3) Let go of your golfing ego. Allow yourself to look a bit foolish when you are a trying a new shot or technique. Don't worry what your friends will think as they won't be laughing when they see all your great improvement.
Be Like Tiger and enjoy the journey of a continual pursuit of excellence.

Did you see one golf ball spin on the greens this entire week at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship?
When players arrived on site, the TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral was already playing fast, both the fairways and the greens. Particularly the greens. Usually, the greens receive less and less water as the tournament progresses, leading to very firm putting surfaces by the weekend. There was no gradual progression this week in Doral, Fla., the greens just became faster and faster. It's unhealthy to deprive a golf course of water but the entire Trump Doral complex is getting a makeover for 2014 so it did not really matter if greens became stressed.
Lesson learned: Steve Stricker helped Tiger Woods with his putting on Wednesday. He discovered Woods was set up a little open, which affected both his alignment and his stroke. How did Tiger putt? He made 27 birdies in 72 holes and took just 100 putts en route to his victory. It would be a mistake to say Stricker's lesson was the reason Woods won. Tiger still had to make the putts, but as the birdies fell his confidence certainly grew.
Funny guy: Rory McIlroy has to feel much better about his game. He admits he was frustrated at the start of the week but finished strong by shooting a 65 on Sunday. He was bogey-free in the final round, making five birdies and an eagle. McIlroy may still be taking the club back slightly to the outside, but his confidence has to be greatly improved. His sense of humor never left. The walking scorer temporarily lost sight on McIlroy on Thursday and told him, "I thought I lost you there for a minute." To which McIlroy replied, "No, that was last week," referencing his withdrawal from The Honda Classic.
Percentage: With his wife Nicki caddying this week, the Strickers saved some considerable cash. A caddie usually gets 5 percent of a player's winnings but is bumped up to 8 percent for a top-10 finish and 10 percent for a victory. That percentage is in addition to the weekly salary. By finishing second, Stricker kept about $80,000 in the family. On the other hand, when wives caddie for players, the percentage sometimes changes. In many cases, the wife will tell you, "I kept it all."
Back nine: The final nine holes at TPC Blue Monster were ripe for scoring. Six of the nine holes played under par but Phil Mickelson did not take advantage. His last birdie of the tournament came at the eighth and he played his final nine in 1 over with a bogey at the 11th. That's a frustrating finish for a player that birdied four of the first eight holes and had played the back nine in 6 under coming into the final round. Some of that finish is due to the golf course. The greens got so crusty that it was hard to putt aggressively.
TPC Blue Monster: Even with the greens rolling at 13.5 on the stimp meter, TPC Blue Monster was still ripe for scoring. Nine of the 18 holes played under par for the week. The exception was the final hole. The 18th is a monster. It was the hardest hole of the week playing to a stroke average of 4.38 and a full stroke over par in the final round. The entire course will receive a makeover before the 2014 tournbament with Gil Hanse being brought in for the redesign. It will be interesting to see how Donald Trump and Hanse work together on this project. Trump has mentioned an island green on the 15th hole. The drivable 372-yard 16th hole gave up 78 birdies this week and there is the possibility a lake on the left will be brought closer to the green.

DORAL, Fla. -- Steve Stricker decision to cut back on his schedule has paid big dividends.
In three starts this season, the 46-year-old has finished second, fifth and second.
Even though Stricker didn't win Sunday at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, he left TPC Blue Monster pleased.
"I'm happy the way I'm playing," said Stricker, who shot a final-round 68 to finish two strokes behind winner Tiger Woods. "It's been a good start to the year. Been on the short end a couple times but played some pretty solid golf and am putting the ball better."
Ironically, it was a putting lesson earlier i nthe week that Stricker gave to Woods that helped Woods to his fewest putts ever in a four-round tournament.
With Woods leading by four going into the final round, Stricker didn't exactly have a lot of faith in being able to catch him.
"You don't have a lot of ‑‑ what's the right word ‑‑ belief that he's going to come back to the field I guess," he said. "He's been so solid with 54‑hole leads over his career that you just don't think he's going to come back. And he didn't again."
And Stricker played some of his best golf again after arriving in South Florida rested.
"I just feel like there's little pressure on me out there," Stricker said. "I'm having really a lot of fun. I know deep down that I'm only playing 11 times, and that excites me. But I also get very pumped up and excited to play when I do come out. I work at it hard still at home but in the back of my mind, it's just coming out and having fun, trying to play good golf and see what happens."
DORAL, Fla. -- It was never really a matter of if on Sunday, but by how much.
In the end, the difference was only a couple of strokes after Tiger Woods shot a 1-under at TPC Blue Monster to win the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.
But Woods' latest victory was one of his most impressive.
He made 27 birdies for the week and on Sunday led by as many as five strokes before bogeys on two of his last three holes made the margin closer.
Steve Stricker, who gave Woods a putting lesson earlier in the week, finished second.
"Thank you, Steve, for the putting lessson," Woods said. "It was one of those weeks when I felt good about how i was playing."
It marks the second victory of the season for Woods, who also won at Torrey Pines, and the fifth in his last 19 stroke-play events dating back to last year's Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard.
It is also his 17th career World Golf Championships title and the 76th PGA TOUR title of his career, moving him to within six of all-time leader Sam Snead.
Woods also moves to second in the FedExCup standings and with a victory at Bay Hill in two weeks would return to No. 1 in the world.
Tiger Woods won for the 76th time on the PGA TOUR at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship on Sunday.
Woods, who trails only Sam Snead (82) in all-time victories on the PGA TOUR, collected 550 FedExCup points and moved to No. 2 in the standings, 177 points behind leader Brandt Snedeker.
Want to congratulate Tiger? Leave a note in the comments section below and we'll deliver it to him.
DORAL, Fla. -- Four-shot lead, four holes to play.
That's where Tiger Woods sits right now at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, where he's closing in on his second win of the season and fifth in the last 51 weeks.
Steve Stricker is alone in second at 17 under. No one else is closer than six shots.
Sergio Garcia and Graeme McDowell, who is playing alongside Woods for a second straight day are at 15 under, while Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson are another stroke back.
Scott had the week's best round so far with a 64.
Defending champion Justin Rose, meanwhile, shot 68 to finish at 10 under.

SEO Lab: Testing Anchor Text Links
To be an effective and successful SEO, it's imperative that you're always testing, testing, testing. Why? Well, for starters, the variables that comprise and dictate the SERPs are totally out of our control. How do you know what truly works unless you test? Another reason is that's it's very unlikely you'll ever run into a search engineer from Google at a bar who's so hammered that he reveals Google's ranking algo to you.

Meta Description Mutiny! Take Control of Your Text Snippets
If you're under the impression that you control what searchers see in the meta description snippet of your SERP listings, you're living in fantasy land. Static meta descriptions are like Santa Claus, Unicorns and men who look "good" in toupees. They just don't exist. That's because the meta description is a chameleon: always changing its appearance.
That snippet you tag to show in the SERPs is often discarded by Google for text more germane to a searcher's query. And given that Google's goal is to return the most relevant results to their audience, I can see how personalized meta descriptions make sense. But that doesn't mean search marketers have to sit by idly and let Google dictate what an audience will or won't see. There are ways to take control of your text snipp... > Read more
5 SEO Myths Busted
SEO is rampant with misinformation, speculation and myths about SEO. But that's the nature of the game, right? Since nobody but Google knows for certain which 200 plus ranking signals comprise the Google secret algorithmic formula, we're left to speculate. However, there's gross misinformation, complete speculation and then there are theories put into practice tested and proven to return results with some degree of reliability.
With that, I've decided to address some of the SEO myths I see or hear from time to time. Most of the following SEO myths I'm attempting to debunk are controversial, meaning the vast majority of SEOs will disagree with my assertions, and I'll probably take a lot of flack. But that's okay.

Maslow's Hierarchy for SEOs and Other SEO Advice We Agree With
This Week in Search: SEO Needs You to Need It I saw a lot of links and tweets this week pointing to Virginia Nussey's excellent post on the SEO hierarchy of needs, based on Maslow's hierarchy, a psychological theory that says physiological and safety needs have to come before stuff like love and belonging (I almost typed "blogging").
I've created a handy (and tall) illustration to show where the SEO hierarchy fits into Maslow's hierarchy. An SEO's basic needs for Diet Dr. Pepper and a paycheck must be met before he/she can move up the hierarchy.

Sheena Thompson Messed With The Wrong Family - Charged With Stealing Diamond Rings From Woman Fighting Cancer
Wilmington, Delaware (The Weekly Vice) - Sheena Denise Thompson, a 23-year-old in-house nurses aid was arrested Tuesday after she was caught on surveillance video stealing two diamond rings from a woman fighting cancer.
According to Newark Police, Thompson was employed as an in-house nurse's aid - providing care for a cancer patient - when family members became suspicious.
Investigators say a family member, who monitored the home via a web-based surveillance video system, noticed the nurse entering bedrooms she shouldn't have been in.
The family member went to Thompson's home to confront her and discovered two diamond rings that had been stolen from the patients home. The two rings had reportedly been removed from a filing cabinet inside the house.
Police were called to Thompson's home where they discovered a bag of marijuana in her possession as well.
Thompson was booked into the Baylor Women's Correctional Institute on charges of felony theft, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was also apprehended on two outstanding warrants. Bail was set at $4,500.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Even the most casual glance at this woman's MySpace page leaves one begging the question how Thompson ever weaseled her way into health care in the first place.
There was a hint in the report that the marijuana itself belonged to the cancer patient - as marijuana is commonly used by cancer patients to control pain. But the report did not state that definitively.
If this were the case, however, this snake should be banned from working anywhere else other than a McDonald's drive-thru window. Never mess with someone's marijuana.... particularly that of a cancer patient.

Having been through 2 health care thieves with both in-laws (both of whom died of cancer), I rest assured that there will be company in that room reserved in Hell for her.

Officers responded about 4:40 a.m. to a report of a fight between a man and a naked woman in the parking lot of a motel in the 1200 block of De La Torre Street.
The woman had run to a restaurant next door and police quickly surrounded the suspect's motel room.
After a few minutes of hailing by police, the man came out and was taken to the Monterey County Jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and violating parole. He was identified as Markus Moss, 36.
The woman said she had known the man for a month and considered him a friend. She was going to stay in his room, but he started talking about having a "real" relationship, which she rejected, police said.
That upset the man, police said. He grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the wall until she blacked out, police said. She suffered a gash over her eye from the fall, police said.
Moss told police a different version and said it was a big misunderstanding, police said.

General Information
Auditing Courses
Auditing a course is the privilege of being present in the classroom when space is available. No credit is involved, no examinations are required, and no grades are reported. Attendance, class preparation and participation are at the discretion of the department head and/or instructor.
Permission to register for a class on an audit basis must be granted in writing by the instructor. Also see information on auditors in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
Currently Enrolled Students
- A student may not register to audit a course after the first week of class for the semester. The deadline to register for or declare an audit for Spring 2014 is Friday, January 17, 2014.
- A student must officially register for an audited class in the University Registrar's Office, 180 Mossman Building. Audits cannot be processed on the Web.
- Written permission from the instructor is required in order to audit a course; such written permission must be processed in the University Registrar's Office, 180 Mossman Building.
- Full-time UNCG students may audit one course per semester without additional charge.
- Part-time UNCG students may audit no more than two courses per semester and are charged a $15 fee for each audited course.
Visiting Auditors
A person who does not wish to be officially enrolled at UNCG should contact the Division of Continual Learning (336/315-7044) for information about auditing courses. A fee of $50 is charged to non-students auditing a course for which no record will be established. Persons who are not currently enrolled at UNCG but who desire a record of enrollment as an auditor should follow regular admission, registration, and fee payment outlined previously.
Audit Registration Dates for Spring 2014
Students may register to audit courses beginning on Monday, January 13, 2014.
Friday, January 17, 2014 is the last day to change a course from audit to credit status or from credit to audit status, and is the last day to register for or add a course without obtaining special permission.
Fees for All Students
See the Cashiers and Student Accounts Web site for complete fee information: http://fsv.uncg.edu/cashiers/index.html
Cancellation of Registration
Cancellation of a student's registration occurs under the following circumstances:
Failure to Pay Tuition and Fees by Stated Deadlines
Payment of bills for the Fall and Spring Semesters must be made in the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office, 151 Mossman Building, by the deadline dates set by the University Registrar and published in the semester Schedule of Courses booklets. The deadline dates are also set forth in the instructions mailed to students with their bills. Payments not received by these dates will result in the cancellation of registration. It is the student's responsibility to verify that Financial Aid awards are in order or to make other payment arrangements with the Cashiers and Students Accounts Office.
Students should contact the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office (336/334-5831) with any questions about tuition and fees or the payment process. Also see Late Registration Fee.
Failure to Provide Immunization Records
Students who have been admitted to UNCG are required by North Carolina State law to submit an immunization form with appropriate verification of immunizations. This form is supplied by the admitting office and must be satisfactorily completed and returned to Gove Student Health Center.
Failure to comply with this requirement within thirty calendar days from the first day of registration will result in the student's being administratively withdrawn from the University.
Once dropped from the University, the student must re-apply for admission should he or she wish to return the following semester or any time thereafter.
This requirement applies to all students, regardless of whether they are part-time or full-time. Students subjected to an administrative withdrawal for failure to comply with medical clearance requirements are entitled to a refund, subject to the guidelines of the university's Refund Policy.
Monday, December 2, 2013–Friday, January 17, 2014
See Registration Calendar for all deadlines; see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/sp14.html for all drop dates.
Use UNCGenie for all online registration and drop/add.
Schedule adjustment for Spring 2014 will extend December 2, 2013, through January 17, 2014. This period allows students to modify their schedules without having such transactions recorded on their academic records. See registration instructions for drop/add instructions. Continuing students must use the same advising code received in October 2013 for Spring 2014 drop/add processing. This advising code is used for making any registration adjustments throughout the semester.
Drop/Add Guidelines
- You cannot add courses or change sections after Friday, January 17, without special permission. Courses added after that date must be processed in the University Registrar's Office.
- You may continue to withdraw from (drop) courses by Web through March 7 for 15-week classes (see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/sp14.html for all drop dates). Use your Spring 2014 advising code to access the online system to process all drops.
- Drop any course for which you registered but that you later decide not to take. Make sure that the section of a course you are attending is the section for which you have registered; make final adjustments before the Deadline to Drop Without Academic Penalty (March 7, 2014 for 15-week classes, see the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/sp14.html for all drop dates) so that you will not receive an F on your academic record for a course you did not attend.
- Courses dropped during the Spring 2014 drop/add period (December 2, 2013–January 17, 2014) will not be recorded on your academic record.
- Fifteen-week courses dropped after January 17 but prior to the March 7 Deadline for Dropping Without Academic Penalty will be recorded as W on your academic record. See the Parts of Term calendar at www.uncg.edu/reg/Calendar/potCal/sp14.html for all drop dates.
- Fifteen-week courses dropped after the March 7 Deadline for Dropping Without Academic Penalty will be recorded on your academic record as WF. WF grades are calculated in the GPA as F (0.0, failing) grades.
To add any class without a waiting list that is closed or restricted, you must obtain special permission from the department or instructor. Forms of special permission include special departmental stamps and the instructor's written signature on an official drop/add form (available from the University Registrar's Office (PDF) and departmental offices). A process that allows the instructor to override his or her own courses online is available, after which you may register on the Web. If your instructor does not opt to use this method, you may have your drop/add form processed in the University Registrar's Office, 180 Mossman.
Withdrawal from All Courses
Students who must withdraw from the University may do so by dropping all courses via the Web through UNCGenie. Students who drop all courses are considered to be withdrawn from the University and must seek reactivation or readmission through Undergraduate Admissions or The Graduate School to return to school in subsequent terms.
See the Military Call-Up Policy that governs withdrawal of students called to active duty.

Early Registration—$30.00
Continuing students eligible to register during early registration for the following semester who choose not to do so, or who fail to confirm their registration, are charged a late fee of $30.00.
Late Registration—$45.00
Students who register after registration has closed, whether for the first time with written permission or after being reinstated, or reregistered, after a cancellation.

Late Fee Waiver Forms may be obtained from the University Registrar's Office, Mossman Building.
Distance Learning/Off-Campus Fees
Tuition and fee rates per credit hour for distance learning/off-campus courses—those in UNCGenie with a campus code of D—are assessed at distance learning rates.

Exam Proctoring Fees for Web-Based Courses
Instructors of Web-based courses (course type WEB, WLB, WLC, WLL, WLS, WTX, and WVC) have the option to require students to use an exam proctor service via the UNC Online Proctoring Network (http://online.northcarolina.edu/exams/overview.htm). The student is required to pay the proctor for the service separate from tuition to the university. Proctor requirements are communicated by the instructor within the first week of class. Courses that may be subject to a proctoring requirement are identified in the Online Course Search with footnote #30. Contact the Office of Academic Outreach (firstname.lastname@example.com or 336-315-7494) for more information.Placement Tests for Undergraduates
All students who have had prior experience with American Sign Language in high school or elsewhere, or who are deaf or hard of hearing and consider themselves native signers, or who are transfer students, must have taken the placement exam to enroll in SES 102 American Sign Language II through SES 306 American Sign Language VI. Students may make an appointment to take the placement exam by calling the Professions in Deafness Program 336/256-1217. The test takes approximately one hour to an hour and a half and is a written and performance exam. A study guide and additional information is provided on the Professions in Deafness Program Web site, www.uncg.edu/ses/ses_deaf.
Foreign Language—French, German, Latin, Russian, or SpanishStudents with one or more years of high school French, German, Latin, Russian, or Spanish who wish to continue the study of that same language at UNCG must take the Language Placement Test before registering for these courses. Placement tests are offered only for these languages; students should consult departments about placement in other languages.
Incoming transfer students returning to the study of French, German, Russian, or Spanish begun in high school but not previously pursued at the college level, must also take the test. Transfer students with college-level foreign languages credit are encouraged to take the placement exam to determine their best starting point.
Language Placement Test scores are valid for one year after the test is taken. The test can be taken only once yearly. Once a student has begun the lower-level sequence (101–204/241), he or she cannot retake the placement exam in order to place out of any of the remaining courses in the sequence.
If students have high school foreign language deficiency of one unit, they must take the Language Placement Test if they wish to continue their high school language. If they plan to begin a new foreign language or if they have a deficiency of two units, they do not take the placement test; they enroll in first semester courses. These scores are binding unless placement change is initiated by the instructor. Foreign Language Placement Tests will be held as follows:
French, German, Russian, and Spanish |
Contact the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, 334-5655, 2321 Moore Humanities and Research Administration Building between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (test taken on computer; scores are available immediately and are valid for one year) |
Latin |
Contact the Classical Studies Department, 1103 Moore Humanities and Research Administration Building |
Placement Tests are also given at SOAR.
Mathematics Placement TestThere is no prerequisite for MAT 112, 115, and 150; hence, no student is required to take the Mathematics Placement Test. See http://www.uncg.edu/mat/undergraduate/mathplacetest.html.
Science or Business majors with very strong backgrounds in precalculus or calculus should consult (at least two months prior to the beginning of a semester via firstname.lastname@example.com) with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in order to discuss the possibility of taking the Mathematics Placement Test.
Placement Test ScoresScores will be available from the respective departments within 24 hours after the tests are taken. Students should pick up their scores before meeting with their advisors.
Prerequisite Checking
A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before another course may be taken. Prerequisites are indicated in the online bulletins after the course title and credit by Pr. followed by the requirements that must be met before that course may be taken. Students may not enroll in a course without having completed the proper prerequisites unless the prerequisites have been waived by the head of the department in which the course is offered.
Real-time, automated prerequisite checking is active for courses numbered 599 and lower.
Students who attempt to register for a course section for which they do not have the prerequisite will receive this error message: PREQ/TEST SCORE ERROR. This means they do not have the prerequisite (it does not indicate any sort of problem with tests or test scores).
Instructors may override a prerequisite requirement for individual students by using the Registration Override function available to them on UNCGenie. This override, once entered by the instructor, allows the student to register him/herself through UNCGenie.
ROTC Registration
University Registrar's Office
180 Mossman Building
1202 Spring Garden Street
Greensboro NC 27412
The United States Air Force and Army Reserve Officer's Training Corps (ROTC) programs are available to UNCG students through the Greater Greensboro Consortium on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University. As a member of the Consortium, UNCG offers students these opportunities for leadership training and a commission in the Army or Air Force through cross-registration at N.C. A&T State University.
Waitlisting in UNCGenie
What is it?
Automated Waitlisting is available during late registration for those course sections that offer this option.
In order to use the waitlist, departments must designate a number of seats for the waitlist during course schedule loading.
We recommend no more than 5 seats on a waitlist.
How does it work?
When a course section is full, students receive a registration error message: "course closed – waitlist available." Students have the option to add themselves to the waitlist.
Students will be able to see their number on the waitlist, so they have a sense of how successful they might be in getting into the class. The waitlist function is configured on a first-come/first-serve basis. When a space becomes available in a course section, the next student in the queue receives an email to her/his UNCG email address indicating that a seat is available.
The email reads:Dear [Name],
You have 24 hours from the date and time that this email was sent to register for the following course that now has an open seat: [course]
Please sign into UNCGenie and Web Register for this course. If you no longer need this course, please select Web Drop to remove yourself from the waitlist so that others may have this opportunity.
Thank you.
Even though a seat will show as available, other students will not be able to register; only the student on the waitlist who is due to register can take that space through Genie.
Once they have received the email notification, students are given 24 hours within which to log in to Genie and register for the course section. If the student does not do so in the time allotted, that student is dropped from the waitlist and the seat available email notification goes to the next student on the waitlist.
On the Friday before classes start, waitlists are purged.
Waitlisting Rules & Limits
- The waitlist function will check for the same registration errors as the general term registration controls: duplicates, links, corequisites, etc; also, prerequisites and restrictions will be observed.
- Waitlist hours do not count as attempted hours for the student.
- Waitlisted courses do not count as corequisites and prerequisites for other courses; i.e., students will be unable to register for a course for which a waitlisted course is a corequisite. Also, the system will not allow a student to register for a course in summer if they are waitlisted for the prerequisite in the spring.
- Students can be waitlisted for more than one section of a course.
- Students can be waitlisted in a section of a course and registered in another.
- Courses with corequisites cannot be waitlisted. Examples: BIO 111 and 111L; ATY 213 and 213L.
- Because automated waitlist processing can be activated based on seats becoming available through manipulation of maximum enrollment limits, departments should not change maximum enrollments for courses with waitlists after registration has started.
- An active waitlist can be overridden through the manual registration process; however, in order to preserve the integrity of the waitlist, the University Registrar's Office will not process add/drops for these course sections during the registration period for the term.
Waitlisting Step-by-Step Instructions:
- If a course has reached its maximum enrollment, but has been enabled for UNCGenie waitlisting, it will appear in the Registration Add Errors section of the "Add/Drop Classes" screen.
Either the message 'Closed - Waitlisted' or 'Open - Reserved for Waitlist' will display in the Status column of the Registration Add Errors section. ['Closed - Waitlisted' means that all seats are taken. 'Open - Reserved for Waitlist' means there is a seat available and the current waitlist has priority registration for the seat.]
- To request addition to the waitlist for the course, click on the pull-down menu under the Action column, select Waitlist through UNCGenie, and click on the SUBMIT CHANGES button.
- If the course becomes eligible for registration through UNCGenie waitlisting, you as the student will receive a notification email (via your preferred email address in UNCGenie) and will be granted a 24-hour window to register for the course. The course will appear in theCurrent Schedule section of the "Add/Drop Classes" screen.
- The message 'Waitlisted through UNCGenie' will display in the Status column of the Current Schedule section.
- To register for the course, click on the pull-down menu under the Action column, select **Web Registered**, and click on the SUBMIT CHANGES button.
- If the waitlisted course has a corequisite, the corequisite course must be added simultaneously with the waitlisted course.
(See http://www.uncg.edu/reg/registration/current/Register.pdf for step-by-step instructions to register for a waitlisted course.)

Using Social Media in Academic Practice: A Student-led Training Initiative
Practice No. 1191
Last modified: 04/11/2010 15:11:32
Institution: University of Nottingham
The Social Media sessions demonstrated a successful integration of a student-led initiative within a formal graduate training provision. The initiative underlined the importance of engaging PhD students in their own learning and training needs, in both sharing expertise with peers and in contributing to their own professional development. In doing so, it demonstrated to other postgraduate researchers how they might utilise their own areas of expertise to develop further student-led initiatives. -

Check this freestyle out...he can go heaps faster than this, but just his flow and lyrics are amaizing, he would fit "Worldwide Choppers" fo sure!
hes above average....but nothing special
Thats fair enough, to be honest its not his speed im in love with, its his wordplay, this track was just made and to be released for christmas, thats why he raps that shit, he is mostly self produced and 1 of only a couple of UK rappers signed to a Major US Label, (Is Konvict Major)?, Chamillionaire collabed with him on his track "Up your speed", and Sway killed him, When I say better than most US rappers, I just meen in my opinion, he is more entertaining than most, I'd imagine everyone here are music lovers, well you know when you get those chills when you hear something you love, I get that with his music, with improved production he will stake his claim as best in UK and top of the heap world wide! :)
IMO of course
Kentucky Boi said:
Average at best. Just because you spit fast doesn't make you a good rapper. What is his obsession with Santa and Christmas? Lyrics were not "amazing" as you put it but very average. No terrific word play in there by any means. Not hating on the dude, he's ok but no where near the level you are putting him on. To each his own I guess. The world wide choppers thing I could see though.

BOZEMAN - A grizzly bear that attacked and killed a man near Bozeman on Sunday has been euthanized.
That's according to Chuck Watson, attorney for Troy Hyde who is the owner of Animals of Montana.
A 24-year-old man, originally from Pennsylvania, was mauled and killed by the captive-bred grizzly at the facility. The man was reportedly cleaning the bear's enclosure when the attack occurred Sunday around 10 a.m.
Gallatin County Sheriff's deputies, Fish and Game wardens and Bridger Canyon Fire Department responded to the mauling northeast of Bridger Bowl at the Animals of Montana facility.
The name of the victim will not be released until next of kin can be notified.
