They actually reversed that decision for now.
In the blog post now it says:

I think you guys are misunderstanding the settings here.

I think you missed a big piece of information that would throw off a lot of your calculations for pricing ads in the article.
As a publisher, you get 68% revenue share, while G gets only 32%. This...
Were you using exact match or broad?
Make sure you use exact match when looking at monthly search traffic in the tool to get more accurate results.
Do they have to be the same exact url? I mean what if you put two links on the same page, one to example.com and the other to example.com/example.html
Would google count one or both of these?
I'm seeing it as PR4 also
Yup I've got a few that jumped from PR0 to PR2... a few that dropped to PR1 and a few that haven't changed.
I'm finally seeing PR updates to my sites today. Anyone else seeing updates?
I've just went through the PDF and I pretty much have nothing more to add over what tetrapak said.
My honest verdict: :thumbdown:
I'll take a review copy if possible.
I've registered on your site and will be submitting some articles starting tomorrow :)
Like Shenron, I've been using this technique for close to a year now and my images traffic has actually increased during that time. Not sure what happened for you there, but you may want to try it...
I'm quite aware that I can do it manually and that I can outsource it to someone that can do it manually.
I started this thread because I'm looking for a software recommendation.
I think you answered your own question there: "it can be time consuming"
I need your recommendations for a good, fully-automated, directory submission software.
I've been looking around and can't find anything that looks reliable.
An important criteria is that it is...
The reports look fine for me as of right now.
Well I only have about 30 or so sites and the effects for me have been quite random as well!
Some of my new EMD's are ranking nicely, while older ones are being pushed down to below 100. Other new...
Please let me know if you have any good ones. I'm also thinking of moving away from adsense on my arcades.
They just posted this yesterday on the adsense blog.
The header would be fine if it is 150 pixels or more away from the flash game. Basically any adsense ad unit on any page of your arcade will be...
I know! This time they are crystal clear about the rules it's almost weird :)
Yeah you could show ads from other ad networks; just not adsense.
A new post on the adsense blog caught my attention today. Here's an excerpt from the post:
Loads of Arcade sites have an adsense ad unit showing before the game is loaded. I myself did this on my...

Well creating an entirely new site with different content isn't really an option I would like to pursue.
So, which would you recommend of the three remaining possible options?
I have a site based on an exact match domain (EMD) that is a .org domain. I built the site a while back and built links for it over time and now its starting to rank well for the exact match query.
Well the list of sites is rarely ever updated and many of them start failing constantly. Also the CAPTCHA's come up on top of each other, so when u're in the middle of typing one the next one pops-up...

I think it's a pretty fair cut for the publisher.
I've always thought it would be much lower than that.

I don't see them applying a general slap across the board for all exact match domains because there are lots of people that search for a site by inputting the site's name into google and expect to...
I had never even considered that they could be artificially increasing the search estimates for their own domains, but it makes perfect sense.
Thanks, I will definitely start checking in...
I'm getting really frustrated trying to find exact match domain names with good search volumes (>10,000 per month).
It seems every single domain on the planet has already been registered!! :smash:...
Gave that a shot but still didn't work. Looks like they just don't support it like you said.
Well thanks for the help anyways, much appreciated :)

Check out this thread, it has a looong discussion on infolinks.
I referred a friend in need of a logo design to Aziz, and as always he delivered a great design at lightning speed! That "Design Guru" badge is well deserved :)
Just received my Logo from Aziz and am very happy with the quality and speed of the service. Will definitely use again for any future logo needs! :)
Hi Aziz,
I need a logo designed for a new website I'm launching... please PM me to discuss
Thanks :)
Oops didn't notice it was an inner page :doh:
Congrats on PR8! :thumbsup:
Hmm... it shows as PR6 for me :confused:
Wow that's really impressive... would love to know the site if you don't mind sharing it :)
Well once every 3-4 months shouldn't upset the big G ;)
I use this free tool, it's pretty good.
Did the people who tried this get paid?
Thanks for the tip Shenron, I switched to double underlines after I saw your post and my CTR almost doubled! :thumbsup:
That's really strange! Are you using the "Allowed Sites" feature? I'm just thinking maybe you didn't add the domains to the allowed sites as that would cause no impressions/click to be recorded.
My EPC with Infolinks is as follows:
- Since April 26th 2009 (since I started using them) until today is 8.89 cents
- For the year to date is 8.66 cents
- For the passing week is 11.55 cents
I've just received an email from Infolinks saying that they are changing their minimum payout from $100 to $50 starting this month, which is obviously great news! :)
What is your definition of an "Indian website"?
If the website is owned by an Indian person, but is hosted on servers in the US and is targeting keywords searched for in the US, and has backlinks...
The easiest way is to create a blog on blogspot, post a few original articles and then apply with your blogspot blog for adsense. They almost always approve those.
That's great progress from the 10-20 per month you were making when starting this thread...Congrats!
Wow there are some really useless domains there!
And what's with these weird 245,246,248 etc... .com domains??
The only thing that does is search for the words "www.netbuilders.org" on the site called netbuilders.org. You could similarly do a search of any topic such as link building, on only netbuilders by...
You use the query "site:netbuilders.org" to see the indexed pages.
The absolute easiest way to get into adsense is to create a blog on blogspot, write a couple of unique posts, then apply with the blogspot blog.
I've received a few angry emails from users that the code posted in this thread doesn't allow them to use the "back" button after they come to my site. So, I tested it myself and found that it is...
Yeah I received this same email with last month's payment.
Are you sure you're including

Well if anyone else is interested I've found an awesome open source script with an active community around it.
You can find it here WeBid - auction script | Get WeBid - auction script at...
Well no need to worry about the 30th of Feb passing by! :rofl:
Nah but seriously, wish you the best of luck with your goal. :)
Where can I get a copy of that? :)
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where is the "report" button?
WTF ?? :confused:
I would say privategameservers.com is better SEO wise since it contains all of your target keywords, while the other one doesn't have the word "game" in it.
Very true, and it really has no effect for me since I don't sell any links.
But I still get great satisfaction when any of my sites gets an increase in PR; it's extra validation for all your hard...
Does anyone know of or have used a good auction script (like ebay)?
I'm looking to create an auction site targeted at my local community and can't figure out which script to use.
Indeed, I've just checked and a few of my sites went up :D
Thanks, will give it a try.
Wish I'd seen it before buying the other one though; but I guess 9.99 isn't that much anyway :)
EDIT: I downloaded it and couldn't get it to install; not sure if...
First off let me just say what an excellent post this is. It's great to see a reply of this high quality on NB as lately it seems most posts are a few words repeating what everyone else said or just...
I use RSSBot by Incansoft. I think it costs around $20 but I used a coupon and got it for 9.99.
It does a good job of submitting your feeds to around 40 or 50 rss directories automatically.
Sounds interesting. May I ask what's the project you're working on?
Will had quoted an article from SEOmoz SEOmoz | New & Interesting Insights Into Google Rankings & Spam from Pubcon in a separate thread...
Or they might be providing them as a service to the webmaster; which is essentially what the google webmaster tool's function is.
The webmaster can then see all links to his/her site, including...
Yes, no difference at all.
It's very unlikely that 140 other sites suddenly became better than him.
Looks like a penalty. Have you done any link exchanges or gotten links from bad neighbourhoods recently?
Not sure why you say they are lying, but I've bought a few domains in the past that were not getting indexed due to a ban for months, and after sending a reconsideration request they were indexed...
Do you mean here on NB? :D
Yes, the sites were not getting indexed for about 2 months, and about 4 days after I sent them the message they started getting indexed.
They do actually take the site reconsideration request...
Send a reconsideration request from Google Webmaster Tools, and explain in your message that you have just bought the domains.
It happened to me a couple of times before, and the domains were...
Having an exact match domain is not magic; it only gives you a slight boost but you still need to do all the work.
Think of it like starting from scratch but with 100 relevant links...
As Snak3 said, the amount of SEO done for the site is indeed very impressive.
The only problem I can see, is that most of your backlinks do not use the words "Bath and Body Products". From what...
You mean get a new domain name or just change the title?
If you change the domain name, then there will ofcourse be an effect on your PR. You should do a 301 redirect to your new domain from the...
Wow that's a really cool feature... nice one from the big G!
Happy Birthday fellow Netbuilders! Thanks for making this such a great community and one of the few websites I visit every day!
Here's to another year of health, happiness and even more success! ...
A little off the point of your question, but you really shouldn't be getting information about your own sites from Alexa. Their stats are no where near as accurate as your own stat logs.

What have you been doing differently?
Thanks for letting us know... I still don't have a link in my account though :(
Please give us some more details once you've gotten a chance to play around with the new interface a bit more.
The additional metrics are mentioned in the Inside Adsense post:
Wow so you're at 200k for this year? That's not too shabby! :thumbsup:
You can check which one people are searching for more using a keyword tool then use that one.
I'm pretty sure he is referring to Xmas :)
Yeah could be, but looks to me more like he's writing his posts in another language and then using machine translation before posting.
What in God's name are you saying man? :confused:
Good luck with the project Kovich and thanks for sharing! :)
One question, why are you using AdBrite and not Adsense? Does it pay better in this niche?
I use XSitePro for a few of my sites and would definitely recommend it. It is super easy to have a static website up and running in a couple of hours, and adding content later is a breeze. But as...
Did you use the "Exact" criterion in the Adwords tool or is that number based on the "Broad" selection?
Good luck mate! Keep us posted :)
Sounds like a pretty long-term solution to me :D

Out of the million monthly searches, how many are from the UK?
I'm seeing your post in the number one position.
The syntax for checking backlinks is
You have an extra 's' in link in your code. Try the search again and you should get a much lower number.
Hi Snarke,
I was checking out your content services site and have a few comments:
- At first glance, it is not at all clear what this page is about. The first thing I notice is "Erin Farley"...
Yeah actually I do. That says "Israel" in Arabic.
You should probably call it a "language" since that's what it is; one of the oldest ones as well :rolleyes:
Or Chandler Bing :rofl:
Mine was converted into a distributeyourarticles.com account, but the service hasn't started yet. When I login it says "20 hours" until they open. Has the contentcrooner service launched already?
Vote given :)
So I went to ArticleMarketer.com to login and distribute some articles as usual and I found that they have decided to retire the website and create 2 new article marketing services instead. I'm not...
Oh, just noticed Will didn't have the "use synonyms" option checked. I guess that's what causes the difference then. Better keep it checked :)
I just did the exact same search and "mexico vacation deals" was showing right where it's supposed to be. Do you think it might have been a glitch?
Regardless of whether or not Ezine accepts it, I would strongly recommend against doing this. You are devaluing your website by making the content on it "duplicate content".
Google may not know...
The word "free" in your domain won't be affecting the Adsense ads on most of your content pages.
If, for example, you build a page entitled "Building a website" on a domain called...
My advice would be to target the exact keyword; go for the one with the higher traffic.
I have several sites that rank extremely differently on plural and singular forms of the same keyword. I...
Well Google.com would have been worthless because they would have just called it something else :D
You can create content around the frame, or it can rank through an exact match keyword domain.
Or, you can integrate a store into an existing website which is already receiving traffic (probably...
Just add it anywhere between the <head> and </head> tags on your site.
Your site is still indexed in Google
That means there is no violation or anything like that, and you don't need to request reconsideration.
The rankings for any relatively new website on google...
I've also integrated a similar store in one of my sites... no sales yet but it's only been there for a couple of weeks and the traffic to the site isn't enormous.
One tip regarding the iframe code...
Yes, you certainly can. I do it all the time :)
Is there any way to change the code for this snippet so that it shows the visitors coming from G Images as referred from images (or anything else) instead of direct traffic?
Since applying this...
Which causes another issue since MSN's crawler most of the time takes forever to start even crawling a new site, let alone indexing and ranking it. :smash:

Umm...at the risk of repeating my self... have you considered submitting a reconsideration request to google? :confused:
That happened to me a couple of times in the past. I submitted a reconsideration request from Google Webmaster Tools and a couple of days later the site was indexed.
Now, I'm not sure whether the...
I've always been convinced that one of the main flaws of Microsoft's search engine, aside from its crappy results, was how slow the crawler was in searching and indexing new sites.

Which one have you been using? The NB translation script or something else?

That's exactly what I was thinking. The page just looks horrible!
Yeah, my problem is that I'm not using Wordpress so I'm trying to find something else.
Guess I'll just have to keep looking...
Has anyone tried "WebSitesTranslator"?
I'm thinking of getting it, but $65 is a bit steep for a shot in the dark.
Yes you would get paid for image ads like you would for regular ads.
You can choose to not allow image ads in adsense setup if you wish, although I wouldn't recommend that.
Excellent tip, thanks for sharing!
Just applied it on one of my sites that gets a lot of G images traffic and it worked like a charm :D
And of course another week passes by and no news on this refund.
You know, this has nothing to do with me wanting or needing the money. It is simply a matter of principal; I paid for a service...
Yeah I found the same message a few days ago. I've never used Adwords but I think I might give it a shot this time.
I mean $100 worth of clicks could mean loooads of traffic in certain niches. :D
Interesting new addition to Adsense.
Should help increase the CPC for the ads.

My sites get updated constantly throughout the day; definitely not just once.
Not sure what is wrong with your account though.
Your safest and quickest bet is to sign up for a blog on blogger, post a couple of posts, then apply for adsense. You will be approved immediately.
It's 6 months, not years.
Last month I hit $220. This month is at $195 so far... it should hopefully surpass last month :)
Nice! :thumbup:
Have you looked at the exact match domain bonus during your tests? Is the bonus higher or lower than it is now?
As usual a very vague email from the G with no specific details about what they are doing. :thumbdown:
That sounds like a very probable explanation for this.
Check your inbox... we've been through this before....I've already PM'ed you all the details you need a week ago with the paypal transaction ID.
Not really... he's made posts yesterday and today in other threads :rolleyes:
Yeah the Diamond comes with Opera pre-installed, it's a pretty awesome browser! :)
I was just wondering if there is some app that would offer quicker access to adsense to quickly check earnings...
I've got a HTC Touch Diamond.
No I haven't tried that. How do you set it up?
And yet another week passes by with no reply to forum posts nor PM's.
You know, for a "sticky" carrot you're actually quite slippery! :rofl:
Does anyone know if there is a windows mobile compatible application for easily monitoring your adsense earnings while you're on the go?
I can confidently say that exact match .com/.net/.org domains rank very high on google with relatively much less effort than is required for a non-exact match domain. Have tested this with several...
I sent you the PM's with the paypal transaction ID's but have heard nothing from you. :confused:
Seriously mate, I'm getting tired of nagging you about this.

Lisa Rinna Likes the Sound of 'Live With Kelly & Lisa'
Ten years ago when Kathie Lee Gifford left Regis Philbin, it came down to two ladies -- Kelly Ripa and Lisa Rinna -- to replace her. We all know how that turned out, but could Lisa finally be getting her chance to co-host the show?
"I love that show. I love Regis, I love him. I love sitting there. You know I was up for that gig ten years ago," Lisa told me when she sat down to dish on my HDNet show. "Kelly, she of course should have gotten the role, but every time I sit down with Regis he says it could have been yours. Ten years later, he said it again today."
Lisa recently returned to co-host the show while Kelly was on vacation and thinks it might be a good idea to fill the legend's seat with a woman.
Talking of working with other women, Lisa told me that although her time on the 'Celebrity Apprentice' was brief, it was nevertheless unforgettable.
"It got brutal. I did get out with my life though. I did survive, it got close. Just ..." Lisa laughed before revealing she thinks she would have lasted much longer if she had been on the boy's team.
"I am just saying, most girls were out for me. Mr. Trump asked us in the beginning, who do you think is your biggest threat, and of course everyone said Star Jones or Richard Hatch. I said John Rich. Why? Because there is something about John Rich, he is very strong. Those country guys have fans and they just know how to do it and there is just something about him and I had gotten to know him."
For my complete interview with Lisa and also controversial comedian Gilbert Gottfried, tune into 'Naughty But Nice' exclusively on HDNet at 1:00 PM and 7:00 PM on Saturday.

I like Lisa and think she should have lasted longer on Donalds show. That Star Jones is a killer. But, I think it should be a man to co-host the R & K. Anderson Cooper, Taylor Hicks or some other sexy man. Why not you?
- Saturday 30 AprilBy Mary
I stopped watching the show 4 years ago, can't stand Kelly, just cancel the show after Regis leaves.
- Saturday 30 AprilBy joann
I wish someone would give pathetic Lisa R. a job! She's just desperate and it's getting embarrasing. She really has no talent so why doesn't she do evryone a favor like her husband did and get out of the public eye. The show won't last long without Regis. Kelly is not strong enough to hold a show and to put Lisa with her would be a disaster. Two nit wits grabbing at the spotlight is not my idea of a good show.

Future of Nursing Initiative
THURSDAY, Feb. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Levels of leisure-time inactivity vary around the country, but the proportion of U.S. adults who do not engage in physical activity outside of work is highest -- nearly 30 percent -- in parts of the South and Appalachia, according to estimates released Feb. 16 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new data include 2004 to 2008 county-level estimates of leisure-time physical activity for all counties in the United States. The estimates are from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which uses self-reported data from state-based adult telephone surveys and 2007 census information. Survey participants were asked whether they participated in any physical activities or exercise outside of their regular jobs.
According to the new estimates, states with the greatest number of adults inclined toward leisure-time physical activities include West Coast states, Colorado, Minnesota, and some Northeastern areas. States where adults are less likely to participate in leisure-time physical activity are Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, where physical inactivity rates are at least 29.2 percent for more than 70 percent of counties.
"Physical activity is crucial to managing diabetes and reducing serious complications of the disease," Ann Albright, Ph.D., R.D., director of the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation, said in a statement. "Moderate intensity activities such as dancing or brisk walking, for just 150 minutes a week, can significantly improve the health of people with diabetes or at high risk for the disease."

Uncle urges bombing suspect to turn self in
In a passionate plea, an uncle of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects urged one of his nephews to turn himself in Friday, saying he had brought shame to the family and the entire Chechen ethnicity.
Associated Press
In a passionate plea, an uncle of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects urged one of his nephews to turn himself in Friday, saying he had brought shame to the family and the entire Chechen ethnicity.
"Yes, we're ashamed. They're the children of my brother," Ruslan Tsarni, 42, told a throng of reporters outside his home in Montgomery Village, Md.
The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and family members as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers who had lived in Dagestan, which neighbors Chechnya in southern Russia.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old who had been known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and was seen in surveillance footage in a black baseball cap, was killed overnight, officials said.
His brother, a 19-year-old college student who was dubbed Suspect No. 2, escaped. He was seen wearing a white, backward baseball cap in the images from Monday's deadly bombing at the marathon finish line.
"Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness from the victims, from the injured and from those who left," Tsarni said, raising his voice.
The Tsarnaev brothers had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived near Boston, though Tsarni said he had not seen them since he visited them in December 2005.
He said the older brother, Tamerlan, had become a devout Muslim about seven or eight years ago.
"When I was speaking to the older one, he started all this religious talk, `Insh'allah' and all that, and I asked him, `Where is all that coming from?'" said Tsarni, a corporate lawyer and executive.
He said his nephews had struggled to settle themselves in the U.S. and ended up "thereby just hating everyone."
Asked what he thought provoked the bombings, Tsarni said: "Being losers, hatred to those who were able to settle themselves. These are the only reasons I can imagine of. Anything else, anything else to do with religion, with Islam, it's a fraud, it's a fake."
Pressed again toward the end of the impromptu interview, he said he was not calling his nephews losers. "I'm saying those who are able to make this atrocity are only losers."
Tsarni previously told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he was not completely shocked when he learned Friday morning that the older brother was named as a suspect.
"It's not a surprise about him," he said. "The younger one, that's something else."
Chechnya was the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994. The wars saw heavy bombing of Chechnya, which killed tens of thousands, and they spawned an Islamic insurgency that has engulfed the entire region.
Tsarni, who described himself as Muslim, vehemently denied that Chechnya or Islam had anything to do with the Boston bombings.
Tsarni said his brother left the U.S. and he had not talked to him since 2009. He said they had a personal falling out but did not elaborate.
"If somebody radicalized them ... it's not my brother, who just moved back to Russia. Who spent his life bringing bread to that table, fixing cars."
He offered his condolences to the bombing victims.
"We're sharing with them their grief. I'm ready just to meet with them. I'm ready just to bend in front of them, to kneel in front of them, seeking that forgiveness."

Which guide to building your own laptop do you recommend?
Re:Let's push it further! (421 comments)
And the people that bought the systems with Windows, that they asked the courts for a rebate on, could have bought a Mac, or a Chromebook. So.... ?
Re:Let's push it further! (421 comments)
But there are systems available that don't bundle Windows... Macs, Chromebooks, and others. Yet despite that the Italian courts still said that someone who chose to buy a system that bundled Windows was eligible for a refund.
So, by that logic, just because there are desktops doesn't mean that I shouldn't get a refund for my unused keyboard/display.
Let's push it further! (421 comments)
I hate the keyboards that come with laptops. I have a perfectly good USB keyboard that I always use. Why do manufactures insist on bundligna crappy chicklet keyboard on the hardware? I want a refund for the keyboard, since I never use it.
My laptop is also plugged into an external monitor (the 11" display is useless), so why am I forced to pay for a display?
Why should the "I don't like part of what I'm buying so I want my money back" argument be limited to software?
Where? (89 comments)
At ~1pW/cm^2, a 50x50cm verision of this will provide about 30mWh in 12 hours. Tiny cell phone battery. Heck, a tiny lithium coin cell will provide ~150mWh.
For contrast, a typical solar cell will give 130W/m^2 (-ish), so a 0.25m^2 solar cell will provide ~33W, while the sun shines, obviously.
I'm not sure where exactly on Earth is sufficiently "remote", dark, moist, and unreachable that this makes sense. (Yes, I though of that, but it's really uncomfortable to fit a camping cooler there...)
Re:$30,000 per year (1040 comments)
While the libertarian in me agrees with you, the realist in me sees some problems with the argument. The problem with letting those who made the choices pay the piper is that usually, I (taxpayer me) still end up paying, and usually much much more, in the long run. The person who had kids who couldn't afford them usually cannot care well for them, which tends to lead to disadvantaged kids with no/minimal education, which leads to higher crime, more poverty, and a higher burden in the future.
The libertarian in me despises the idea of nationalizing most of health care, but I'll end up paying more if everyone without a job goes to the emergency room and I pay (much) more because of it.
If we can't find a way to help people afford houses, then they lose the houses, and I end up paying more property taxes to support the streets, water, and other things I like to have. And then we get Detroit.
In the end, I've decided that the "best thing for me" is to help other people screw me less... which means figuring out how to help them help themselves, not leaving them until they're a burden. I disagree with many of the tactics we use to achieve it, but leaving everyone who made a bad choice to flounder in the sewer costs me more in the long run.

Doesn't it seem strange that the flaw has existed for a long, long time (years?) but Codenomicon happens to find it less than a day after Google notified OpenSSL, and, per the article, "some infrastructure providers under embargo"? That just seems... unlikely. Not impossible, but it kind of makes you wonder who is leaking information...
Google is keeping all the IP... (172 comments)
Considering the $4.5B that the Rockstar group paid for ~4000 mobile-related patents, and that Google is keeping the "Vast Majority" of the Motorola patents, the bulk of the price difference may well be in the IP.
A quick google didn't quickly give me a number for how many patents Google is keeping, but if Lenovo is getting about 2000 patents, and that is not the "Vast Majority", then there are a LOT of patents.
I gotta get me some more patents.
Is training in the contract? (292 comments)
First, is training included? If not, well, make it worth your while. Generally when I've done (much smaller) projects, I generally make sure that the contract I sign lays out that the payment is for the code, and specifically covered training regarding the operation/implementation of the project. Bringing a fresh person up to speed on the code that I provide is not part of the contract, but can be for the right amount of money.
Since I also work full-time at my "real" job, are you sure that this isn't just them wanting to bring the project in-house, more under their control? It might not be about the money, specifically, which means that this might open other opportunities with them on other projects, or even a full-time job with them (if you want it.) Looking at it from the point of view of my real job, there are times when I want ta project done by a contractor/temp, and there are times when I want it done/supported in house. It's usually more about the strategic vs. tactical value of the project than the pure "how much am I paying the guy" number. Make sure that you understand the motivation of the client, so you can better position your next move...

It's not about the long term survivability. (589 comments)
In the case of AEGIS and related defenses, the goal is not necessarily to be able to absorb/defend against anything and everything that the enemy throws against you. The goal is to survive long enough to turn the attacking launch site into a glass parking lot (or a steaming hole in the water) before they can destroy your offensive assets. In the mentioned case of Iran, I expect the goal would be to absorb one or two 'provocative' attacks. If there was full out attack, though, I'm pretty sure they would not have the opportunity to launch all the missiles...

I wonder how many Nokia/Motorola/HTC/Samsung/Microsoft patents this provides prior art against?
I'm OK with that too... the sooner everyone realizes that all cell phone patents are "obvious" derivatives of Maxwell Smart's shoe phone, the sooner the lawyers will join the ranks of the unemployed. Flying cars will follow shortly thereafter, I'm told.

|Projected Ranking
|Proj. Rnd.
04/25/2013 - ROB RANG'S FINAL 2013 NFL DRAFT BIG BOARD: 20. Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon: Scouts love Jordan's potential but the front-office executive who considers investing a top-10 pick on him might question why he didn't make more big plays. The 6-6, 245-pound Jordan has as much athleticism as any player in the 2013 draft and offers the flexibility to rush the edge as well as drop into coverage (which he did as a linebacker and cornerback for the Ducks). Jordan relies on his speed as an edge rusher, however; he shows no advanced complementary inside move at this time. While he's capable of unique coverage responsibilities, he has never proven productive in this role, either, posting two passes broken up and zero interceptions in a pass-happy conference. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
04/21/2013 - 2013 NFL DRAFT: FIVE BOLD PREDICTIONS: 4. Oregon pass rusher Dion Jordan is exposed as overrated...The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Jordan might just be the most remarkable athlete in the 2013 draft but while he certainly possesses the upside to make scouts drool, general managers might wonder why he wasn't more productive in a pass-happy Pac-12 conference. Savvy talent evaluators will point out that Jordan was just as likely to drop back into coverage as rush the passer. Rather than actually make plays in coverage, however, Jordan simply took up space.
He registered just two pass breakups over his career and never intercepted a pass. He registered 7 1/2 sacks as a junior in his career-high campaign and just five a season ago. Oregon coaches tout his toughness and dedication, yet he's struggled with durability throughout his career. Jordan's upside warrants early consideration, but he is far from the sure thing that his cut-ups have led some to believe. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
04/21/2013 - 2013 NFL DRAFT: FIVE BOLD PREDICTIONS: 1. Oregon linebacker Dion Jordan is a top-six lock and the top defensive player in this draft...Whether he goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, Dion Jordan will be selected in the draft's top six selections. Not maybe or possibly. He will be taken somewhere in the top six picks. Jordan wasn't the most productive college player, but watching his college tape from Oregon, he was used as a versatile chess piece all over that defense. He lined up at pass rusher, dropped in space against the run and even in the slot to cover, acting as a nickel cornerback. At 6 feet 6 and 250 pounds, his athleticism has scouts really excited for his potential at the next level and that's why he won't last long on draft day. The Jaguars at two, Eagles at four and Browns at six are the most likely landing spots; he won't fall any farther. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
03/15/2013 - 2013 Oregon Pro Day: Despite the fact that potential top ten pick Dion Jordan was unable to participate at Oregon's Pro Day due to recent surgery to repair a torn labrum, scouts flocked to Eugene to watch a contigent of former Ducks show off their athleticism. While the media and agents were not allowed into the workout, representatives of 27 NFL teams, including Kansas City Chiefs' general manager John Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid were on hand for the workout. The Chiefs, of course, own the No. 1 overall pick of the 2013 draft.
The most highly regarded (and debated) prospect for Oregon, pass rusher Dion Jordan, was unable to work out today after undergoing surgery recently to repair a partially torn labrum. The 6-6, 248-pounder didn't have to work out anyway after a sparkling performance at the combine in which he ranked among the most impressive defensive linemen in the 40-yard dash (4.60-seconds), broad jump (10'02), short shuttle (4.35) and three-cone drills (7.02). Due to the injury, Jordan didn't do anything Thursday, including work in the positional drills or even get measured, according to Gil Brandt of NFL.com. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
02/23/2013 - Plagued by a right shoulder injury much of the season, Oregon pass rusher Dion Jordan will have surgery next week to repair a torn labrum. He plans to participate in every drill this week at the combine, excluding the bench press, and made a note to explain how excited he was to run. The timetable for the surgery rehab is "three to four months," according to Jordan, which would put him on track to be healthy for training camp in the summer. He played through the injury for the second half of the season after getting hurt in late October against Colorado while attempting to make a tackle.
A versatile prospect, Jordan played defensive end and linebacker in college, rushing the passer and dropping in coverage. He said he has received a lot of attention from NFL teams that utilize the 3-4 scheme that want him to play linebacker. Jordan agrees that scheme best fits his athleticism. "The whole thing is getting after the quarterback so the pass rush is my No. 1 thing with my athleticism," Jordan said. Jordan is a potential top-10 pick in April, but the question now is can he stay healthy in the NFL? - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, Workout warriors: Although Oregon's Dion Jordan has been mentioned twice previously in this preview, he is too impressive of an athletic specimen to not include in this section. A fluid and smooth athlete for his size, Jordan looks more like a basketball small forward on the football field, effortlessly changing directions and staying light on his feet. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, Tale of the tape: Due to a nagging right shoulder injury and the fast-paced nature of Chip Kelly's offense at Oregon, Dion Jordan played most of this past season in the 225-pound range. But for his taller stature (listed at 6-foot-7), scouts would like to see his weight come closer to 250 pounds. And with some questions about his ability to put on bulk, Jordan's measurements at the Combine will be very important, especially after not participating in the Senior Bowl. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
02/20/2013 - 2013 NFL Combine, Most to gain: One of the most athletic and versatile defensive prospects in this draft class, Oregon's Dion Jordan, had good production as a senior (44 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks), but the statistics don't do him justice. Widely believed to be a first-round pick, he has a chance to cement his status as a top-10 player with strong results in Indianapolis. Jordan will need to impress not only in the agility drills but also with the medical evaluations and weigh-ins. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
01/03/2013 - PLAYERS TO WATCH: LB Dion Jordan earned first-team, all-Pac-12 honors for the second year in a row. The 6-foot-7, 243-pound senior began his career at tight end before moving to defense as a sophomore and now he is a likely first-round pick in the NFL Draft. Jordan is one of five finalists for the Butkus Award, given to the top linebacker in the country. He has 44 tackles, including 10.5 for loss and five sacks. - The Sports Xchange
11/27/2012 - 2012 ALL-PAC-12 FIRST TEAM: DL Dion Jordan, Sr., Oregon...has been selected First Team All-Pac-12 for the 2012 college football season. Jordan is one of five finalists for the Butkus Award, given to the top collegiate linebacker in the country. He has recorded 44 tackles this season, including 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.0 quarterback sacks. - Oregon football
11/21/2012 - 2012 BUTKUS AWARD FINALIST (NATION'S BEST LINEBACKER): Dion Jordan, Oregon (Sr.)...Oregon senior Dion Jordan is one of five finalists for the Butkus Award, presented annually to the nation's top linebacker. The others to make the final cut: C.J. Mosley of Alabama, Jarvis Jones of Georgia, Kevin Minter of LSU and Manti Te'o of Notre Dame. Jordan, from Chandler, Ariz., has missed time in recent games due to a shoulder injury. On the season he has 42 tackles (24 solo, 18 assists), 10.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and three forced fumbles. - Oregonian Sports
11/18/2012 - DE Dion Jordan returned to play against Stanford after missing last week's game due to a shoulder injury.
11/11/2012 - Oregon moved into the No. 1 spot in both major polls, which were released Sunday. The Ducks moved up from the No. 2 spot in the AP media poll and USA Today coaches poll after their rout of California on Saturday. Alabama, which was No. 1 for 10 weeks, fell to No. 4 in the AP poll and No. 5 in the coaches poll after falling 29-24 to Texas A&M in Tuscaloosa. Oregon (10-0) received 44 of 59 first-place votes in the coaches poll and 45 of 60 votes by the AP. Kansas State, also undefeated, moved up to No. 2 and received 14 first-place votes in both polls. Notre Dame, the third of three undefeated teams, received the other remaining first place vote and moved up to the No. 3 spot in both polls. It is the first time the Fighting have received a No. 1 vote since September of 2006. Georgia took over the No. 4 spot in the coaches poll after clinching a spot in the SEC title game after shutting out Auburn 38-0. Alabama fell to its lowest ranking in the coaches poll since the end of 2010. Alabama is still likely to meet Georgia in the conference championship game in Atlanta. No. 6 Florida State and No. 7 Florida remained in their same spots while LSU leapfrogged Clemson for No. 8 after topping then-No. 23 Mississippi State in the coaches poll. Ohio State is No. 6 by the AP but is ineligible to be ranked in the coaches poll. - The Sports Xchange
11/06/2012 - Week 10 Rewind: Oregon's Offense Frightening, But Defense Boasts Top 2013 Prospects: Explosive doesn't begin to describe Chip Kelly's offense but it might surprise fans to learn that the Oregon Ducks' top NFL prospects -- at least those eligible for the 2013 NFL draft -- line up on the defensive side of the ball. Hybrid pass rusher Dion Jordan has earned plenty of respect. The 6-5, 240 pound defensive end/outside linebacker/nickel cornerback currently ranks No. 21 on my Big Board and I'm certainly not alone in my appreciation for his unique combination of size and athleticism. With the Ducks' top defender sidelined early in the highly anticipated matchup against Southern Cal, however, Oregon had to turn to others on that side of the ball to slow down Matt Barkley, Marqise Lee, Robert Woods and the rest of the dynamic Trojans' offense. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
10/23/2012 - OCT 22 NFL DRAFT SCOUT RISER: DE/OLB DION JORDAN, OREGON...For a team known for their offense, it's easy to overlook the talent the Ducks have assembled on the defensive side of the ball. And while many know the names "John Boyett" and "Kiko Alonso," it's Oregon hybrid defensive end Dion Jordan that has NFL scouts excited. On the national stage last Thursday at Arizona State, Jordan showcased his versatility to line up on the line of scrimmage as a stand-up defensive end, in the box as a linebacker or in the slot, covering inside receivers. Yes, I said in the slot on receivers, a spot usually reserved for defensive backs. But Jordan has rare athleticism for his size, showing loose hips and smooth footwork to move naturally in any direction. He looks like a basketball small forward in football pads with fluid athleticism for a player with his height and length. Listed at 6-7 and 240 pounds, Jordan needs to continue to add weight and fill out his frame, lacking much of a power element to his game. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
10/23/2012 - OCT 22 NFL DRAFT SCOUT RISER: DE/OLB DION JORDAN, OREGON...As a pass rusher, he has a quick first step with acceleration to beat blockers and flatten out to close on the quarterback, recording two sacks against the Sun Devils and giving him a team-best five on the season. Jordan doesn't have the heaviest hands, but he's extremely quick with his mitts, making it tough for blockers to combat them. There are some questions about where his natural position is at the next level, but any creative defensive coordinator will be able to utilize Jordan's impressive blend of size and speed. Jordan's extraordinary physical tools will likely land him in the first round, now the question is how high? - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
10/18/2012 - SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: Oregon's defense has been among the best in the conference, giving up 359.8 yards and 20 points per game. Oregon is also among the top rushing defenses in the Pac-12, allowing 126.8 yards per game. The Ducks have been even tougher on third and fourth down. Opponents are converting only 29.2 percent of third downs into a first down, the second-best rate among conference defenses, while opponents' 23.1 success rate on fourth down is the best mark in the Pac-12. - The Sports Xchange
08/01/2012 - 2012 PRESEASON TED HENDRICKS AWARD WATCH LIST: DION JORDAN, OREGON, has been selected a preseason candidate for the 2012 Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award. On-field performance, exceptional winning attitude, leadership abilities, contributions to school and community and academic preparedness are some of the criteria used to determine the Award's winner. A 6-7, 241-pounder from Chandler, Ariz., Jordan is one of six Pac-12 players and 40 overall on the preseason list. He also enters his final college season on watch lists for the Bednarik Award (defense), Rotary Lombardi Award (lineman) and Bronko Nagurski Trophy (defense). Jordan, who began his collegiate career as a receiver and tight end for the Ducks, earned first-team all-conference honors last season after rating fifth in the Pac-12 in quarterback sacks (7.5) and seventh in tackles for loss (13). He recorded all but 1.5 of his sack total over UO's final seven games in 2011. - Oregon football
07/22/2012 - Top-five Oregon prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft: 1. OLB/DE Dion Jordan...Jordan signed with Oregon as a highly regarded prep tight end and only made the switch to the defensive side of the ball in the spring of 2010. As a reserve defensive end for the Ducks in 2010 Jordan registered 33 tackles, including 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks. To take advantage of his unique combination of burst off the snap and length, Oregon created a hybrid role for Jordan in 2011, lining him up as a stand-up pass rusher and moving him around to find favorable matchups. Demonstrating surprising fluidity for such a tall player, Jordan exploded for 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, each of which led the team, earning First Team all-conference honors from Pac-12 coaches. Rarely asked to play with his hand in the dirt as a traditional defensive end, Oregon helped protect Jordan as a run-defender as he lacks the bulk to consistently set the edge against 300 pound behemoths. Jordan's long arms and vision, however, allow him to disengage from most blockers quickly and he plays with a high-revving motor, often pursuing the ball-carrier yards downfield. Teams looking for a traditional 3-4 rush linebacker will be intrigued by Jordan as he times the snap well, shows the flexibility to dip under the reach of tackles and closes quickly. Unlike most "defensive ends" asked to make the transition to outside linebacker, Jordan has experience in coverage, as he was routinely asked to line up over the slot receiver initially, showing the balance and awareness to give a creative NFL defensive coordinator a variety of ways in which he can rattle the opposing quarterback. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
07/20/2012 - 2012 ROTARY LOMBARDI AWARD PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon, has been selected to the Preseason Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List for the 2012 college football season, presented the nation's top college lineman or linebacker each year by The Rotary Club of Houston. - The Rotary Club of Houston
07/18/2012 - 2012 BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY PRESEASON WATCH LIST: Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon, has been selected to the Preseason Bronko Nagurski Trophy Award Watch List for the 2012 college football season. The Bronko Nagurski Trophy is presented to the National Defensive Player of the Year by the Charlotte Touchdown Club and the Football Writers Association of America. - The Charlotte Touchdown Club
07/10/2012 - 2012 BEDNARIK AWARD PRESEASON WATCHLIST: Dion Jordan, Oregon, DE, Sr., has been selected to the preseason Bednarik Award watchlist for the 2012 college football season. The Bednarik Award has been presented to the nation's top defensive player since 1995. A former standout at Penn and with the Philadelphia Eagles, Chuck Bednarik is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of 1969 and the NFL Hall of Fame's Class of 1967. Jordan earned first-team all-conference honors last season after rating fifth in the Pac-12 in quarterback sacks (7.5) and seventh in tackles for loss (13). - Oregon football
05/09/2012 - Dion Jordan is flattered, but ultimately unmoved by comparisons. Oregon's defensive end has heard most of them -- Jevon Kearse, Terrell Suggs, Dwight Freeney, to name a few. Not exactly shoddy company, mind you. "I think it's cool and I've been compared to a few of those guys in the past," Jordan said. "But I want to bring my own game to the table. I've watched those guys in the film room. I've studied the great pass-rushers and outside linebackers that drop into coverage. I want to get as much as I can out of them and then roll that into my own game." And if all goes according to plan, Jordan's game in 2012 will be to create chaos. Jordan, a returning first-team all-conference defensive end last season, was one of the most disruptive players in the Pac-12, finishing fourth in the league with 7.5 sacks. There's no reason to believe he isn't poised for equal or better numbers in his senior season. Nor is it out of the realm of possibility to consider him a legitimate candidate for conference defensive player of the year. "First, I've got to finish up school, graduate and become a better leader for my teammates on the field," said Jordan, who totaled 13 tackles for a loss last year. "My main goal is to get after the quarterback more so I can increase those stats. That will help me and my team a lot. If I can get my hands on the ball, I believe I can get in the end zone one or two times." - Kevin Gemmell, ESPN

Australia's prolonged whooping cough epidemic has entered a disturbing new phase, with a study showing a new strain or genotype may be responsible for the sharp rise in the number of cases.
A team of Australian scientists, led by the University of New South Wales (UNSW), believe this emerging new genotype (called prn2-ptxP3) of the Bordetella pertussis bacterium may be evading the protective effects of the current acellular vaccine (ACV), and increasing the incidence of the potentially fatal respiratory illness, according to the study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
The new genotype also has been detected in other countries, suggesting it has the potential to spark epidemics elsewhere and should be closely monitored, the researchers warn.
"The prolonged whooping cough epidemic in Australia that began during 2008 has been predominantly caused by the new genotype of B. pertussis," said one of the study authors, Associate Professor Ruiting Lan, of the UNSW School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences.
"The genotype was responsible for 31 percent of cases in the 10 years before the epidemic, and that's now jumped to 84 percent – a nearly three-fold increase, indicating it has gained a selective advantage under the current vaccination regime.
"The vaccine is still the best way to reduce transmission of the disease and reduce cases, but it appears to be less effective against the new strain and immunity wanes more rapidly. We need to look at changes to the vaccine itself or increase the number of boosters," Associate Professor Lan said.
Last year about 38,000 cases of the life-threatening disease were reported nationally, despite Australians having a relatively high vaccine uptake.
The authors said the increase in the number of whooping cough notifications may be partly due to recent improvements in diagnostic tests, which means that mild or atypical cases in older children or adults are now more likely to be correctly identified. However, this does not explain the marked increase in hospital admissions, especially of very young children who are not fully immunised, in whom the diagnosis is much easier.
Associate Professor Lan's laboratory team – led by postdoctoral research associate Dr Sophie Octavia – analysed close to 200 samples of the B. pertussis bacterium, collected from 2008 to 2010 over four states, NSW, Vic, SA and WA.
The team worked closely with researchers from the Centre for Infectious Diseases and Microbiology at Westmead (A/Prof Vitali Sintchenko and Prof Lyn Gilbert), Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide (Dr Andrew Lawrence), Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Perth (Dr Tony Keil); and Microbiological Diagnostic Unit Public Health Laboratory, The University of Melbourne (Dr Geoff Hogg).
The findings suggest that while the current vaccination remains effective against most forms of whooping cough, its use could be contributing to the emergence of new and potentially more dangerous clones, Associate Professor Lan said.
First introduced in Australia in 1997, the ACV vaccination replaced the whole-cell vaccine (WCV), due to concerns about the latter's side-effects.
"The whole cell vaccine contained hundreds of antigens, which gave broad protection against many strains of B. pertussis," said Associate Professor Lan. "But the acellular vaccine contains only three to five antigens.
"If the ACV is less effective against these new strains, we need to ask what other strategies can be used to combat the epidemic, which is ongoing."
There has been growing concern among public health officials about the rising incidence of whooping cough in Australia. The death rate for babies under the age of six months who catch pertussis is one in 200, according to NSW Health, which says adults and adolescents are at particular risk of contracting the disease and can pass it on to babies who are too young to be immunised.
In NSW, vaccinations are routinely given to infants at two, four and six months. The first dose can be given as early as 6 weeks of age. Boosters are needed at age four and again in high school. NSW Health also recommends that new parents and carers of young infants receive boosters.
