20 On-Page SEO Tips & Techniques
Posted on 26'13 Dec
This article has been contributed by Faizan Khamisani.
There are many on-page SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) techniques that we can use for each of our websites, some that often get overlooked. So, here is a checklist of the most important techniques that we can use for 2014, 2015 and beyond.
Editor's note: Some of these have been around for a while but they are always good as a refresher.
Title Tag
The best and most effective way to use the title tag is to not to make the title tag longer than 70 characters. The title should be according to your page; try to use the long phrased keyword within the title tag.
Description Tag
Use this tag smartly. Describe your page content and try to use your most competitive keywords in the text. Use no more than 160 characters.
Keywords Tag
We all know that Google stated that this tag does not affect your rankings but there are many SEOs, who still use this tag for other search engines. Target your 5 most competitive keywords within the tag.
HX (Heading) Tags
Use HX tags with each of your main article headings / sections. Use h1 for the main headings and the rest in h2, h3, h4 and so on. Try use your keywords in the headings and highlight them in the eye of search engines with these HX tags.
Optimize each image with ALT and Title tags. Image name can also be optimized; try to use the keywords smartly within the tags as well.
Search Engine Friendly URLs
Try not to use signs like &, Spaces, ?, etc in your URLs otherwise it can come across as spammy. Ask your developer to make the URLs look easy to read, short and clean.
Quality Content Is King
As we all know "Content is King" in the SEO industry, so we can't ignore this one. Each page should have a minimum of 500 words of great quality content.
Make sure your navigation is crawlable, whether it be text or image based.
JavaScript/CSS External
Externalize the JS and CSS codes to make your website pages load faster. Take this with a grain of salt as it's not always the best choice in any case. Sometimes it's better to use pregressively inline JS and CSS for faster rendering and perceived time.
Internal linking
Internal linking will help you to engage your customers within the website. Internal linking will also help you to control the bounce rate as well.
External pages
Adding links to external high quality website (not just popular) resources builds a good relation in the eye of search engines and this trust will help the websites to get higher positions on search engines.
Use geo-tagging to let your users and search engines see your actual business location.
Authorship Markups
Use authorship to take the ownership of the content you publish on your website.
Add social media buttons to encourage your readers to share your website's content on their profiles. Websites with social signals can get better rankings in search engines.
XML SiteMap
Create xml sitemap and add each of your website in it. You can submit to sitemap in Google and Bing webmaster tools to make your website index soon.
Updated: The robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl and index pages on their website.
Make sure you have added and setup the analytics code so you can properly analyze your website.
Webmaster Tools
Add and verify the ownership of your websites via Google Webmaster Tools. These webmaster tools will also help to analyze the on-page validations.
Xenu (Broken Links)
Xenu is free software to find broken links within your web pages. Find and fix those broken links as soon as you find them.
A website hosting server should be up and running 24/7, with at least 99.9% uptime. A website with too much downtime can be de-indexed from and won't be able to rank higher on search engines.

Except the fact that the article is really poor it contains also some big errors.
"Use a robots file to block pages you don't want to index in search engines."Robots.txt file is not intended to prevent indexing, but it's crawling related.
"Adding links to external high quality website resources builds a good relation in the eye of search engines and this trust will help the websites to get higher positions on search engines."This is the ruin of the web. The link should not go to the high quality website only beacause it's a big website, but shoul go to the better resource for that argument!
The resource not the website.This way of thinking leaded to linking always big brand websites or Wikipedia even if they contain often really crap resources.
This leaded also to the bad practice of linking automatically such websites.
"As we all know "Content is King" in the SEO industry, so we can't ignore this one. Each page should have a minimum of 500 words of great quality content."Oh my God! Please stop associating a number of words to great content!
"Make your navigations text based. Don't use images or animations that search engines can't crawl."You can make anything crawlable. Tha fact that you aren't able to make it correct from a technical point of view doesn't mean that you must not use images or animations.
"Externalize the JS and CSS codes to make your website pages load faster."It depends. It's not always the best choice in any case.
Sometimes it's better to pregressively inline JS and CSS for faster rendering and perceived time.>>> ERROR #6
"Schemas (structured data) will help the pages to get higher rankings on Google, Bing, and Yahoo."Absolutely false. Structured markup only helps machine to understand better what the page is about, but not necessary to rank it higher (that doesn't mean anything…where, why, for which key…).
Hi, thanks for providing such great SEO information. All of the above tips are very helpful for SEO. Great for beginners!
Hi Faizan,
We all know that content is king or I would say quality content is king. But there are numerous number of webmasters who claims that having content more than 1000 words increases your chances to rank higher. They claim so because having long article means brief content and explains each point thoroughly.
Nice list here Faizan, on page SEO is far more important than many realise!
And thanks for including my post on image SEO.
Have an awesome 2014

I read these tips in 2010 too. Are you living in 2010 faizan? Above 21 tips, not a single one is new! Old crap!
Another great blog!
Whilst we already use the above SEO techniques, it's nice to see them in a list like this because it helps to break them down a bit better and validates that we're doing what works. I was reading Andrea's comment and was going to say that I couldn't see any of those mistakes but then read your response that they had been fixed up – great to see people so on the ball, it stops the wrong information from being spread!
Some people consider that only putting meta information in your website make it ready for search engine optimization. This is totally wrong because you need to optimize every pager, every internal link as well as image of your website. Your 21 tips for on page optimization not only make a website perfect for SEO but also assure quick ranking on search engines. WordPress has lot of SEO plugins which are doing good job of putting meta information as well as Alt attributes in images. Very helpful tips :)
Nice post! I believe one important SEO factor for 2014 is to have rich content on the pages. Provede content for your audience not for search engines. Add images and video. This would keep the visitors on your pages for longer time and hence reduce the bounce rate which in turn will help improve rankings
SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization" or "search engine optimizer." Deciding to hire an SEO is a big decision that can potentially improve your site and save time, but you can also risk damage to your site and reputation. Make sure to research the potential advantages as well as the damage that an irresponsible SEO can do to your site. Many SEOs and other agencies and consultants provide useful services for website owners, including:
Review of your site content or structure
Technical advice on website development: for example, hosting, redirects, error pages, use of JavaScript
Content development
Management of online business development campaigns
Keyword research
SEO training

Around the time The King's Singers was starting up, one of the most productive periods of songwriting in history was coming to a close in America, starting with composers such as Gershwin, Kern, Berlin and Porter in the early 1920s, and continuing through to the early 1960s. In this new 2-CD studio recording - featuring brand new a cappella arrangements by jazz composer and arranger Alexander L'Estrange, and swing-orchestra performances with the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra - The King's Singers bring their own unique performance style to this wonderful music. |

I feel that Skycity are running down their regional casinos. In NZ there is a real lack of investment in them. If they don't reinvest in them, how are they ever going to grow them. They feel old and dated now, and not destinations anyone would go to. I also feel that Skycity need to look at building their hotel business outside of Auckland.

Launch Radio playerSkyCity Entertainment Group, New Zealand's only listed casino company, said first-half profit will fall as a rise in the New Zealand dollar crimps returns from its Australian businesses.
Normalised after-tax profit will probably be $65 million to $68 million in the six months ending Dec. 31, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. That's lower than the $72 million profit in the year earlier period, excluding earnings from the Christchurch casino which was sold in December 2012.
The New Zealand dollar has accelerated away against its Australian counterpart, touching a fresh five-year high overnight, as a strengthening local economy contrasts with a slowdown in Australia. SkyCity, which has four casinos in New Zealand and two in Australia, said an 18 percent rise in the exchange rate would trim about $3 million from first half profit.
The New Zealand dollar bought 92 Australian cents in the current period, up from 78 cents in the year earlier period, the company said. It touched a five-year high of 92.57 cents overnight, and was recently trading at 92.27 cents.
Auckland, the company's biggest operation, is expected to post "modest" growth in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, SkyCity said, without providing specific figures.
The company's Adelaide casino is experiencing a challenging trading environment while its Darwin business is experiencing some cost pressure and will post a softer earnings margin in the first half.
Meanwhile, in its other New Zealand units, SkyCity said Hamilton would post "softer" earnings in the first half even as the second quarter improved from the first quarter. Both of the company's Queenstown casinos were refurbished in the half, it said.
In the company's international business, the first half is expected to improve from the year earlier period, SkyCity said.
Full details on first-half earnings are scheduled for release on Feb. 12.

Can we get a coin-nerd thread
A lot of gold/silver/rare coins guys on here. Would be nice to have a section like the comic book guys do.
Would be nicer if BO wanted to start selling metals.

I'm a "coin" guy, and I use precious metals like I would a bank, except it's MUCH easier to use my debit card at the LCS than to pay with Silver Eagles. I'm honestly not good at saving "cash", but silver/gold is liquid enough, and retains value consistently enough, that it provides a good way for us to maintain a "financial cushion" at times. BTW, I'd love a sub-forum devoted to this, as I'm not a member on any devoted coin sites. Anyone want to trade their precious metals/coins for cards hit me up |

Coins and precious metals are two different things.
Coin prices are affected by precious metal prices, but their value is derived from far more that that. Condition, age, collectibility... Precious metals are simply commodities. Their price is dictated solely by consensus pricing. But as MasterPattie said, for some reason the metal pumpers come out in droves when coins are mentioned to try to sell silver, gold, etc. It's like going into a baseball card thread and telling everyone to invest in lumber, papermills, and ink. A coin section would be great, except it would get overrun by metal pumpers.

Well, I like both! However, I rarely buy generic rounds/bars, and never purchased precious metals on "paper". Morgan dollars are probably my favorite coin, but any 19th century US coins peak my interest. I also like the ones from "rare" mints, especially Carson City, NV; steel pennies, mercury dimes, and walking liberty half-dollars too Don't forget that bullion "coins" minted by countries typically carry face value (obviously far less than the melt weight would be). Technically, this means silver eagles, maple leafs, pandas, etc can fall under the nusmismatic umbrella, and are priced accordingly in annual coin price guides. |

UT Arlington In The News - Tuesday, November 5, 2013
Computer science team developing system to ensure privacy in electronic health records
Two UT Arlington researchers are leading a collaborative National Science Foundation project to protect personal, electronic healthcare data while ensuring that the anonymous records can be used for secondary analysis and improved health care, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and TMCnet.com reported. Associate Professor Heng Huang and Professor Guatam Das, both of the UT Arlington Computer Science & Engineering Department, are leading the effort.
Domestic violence
Alejandro del Carmen, chair of the UT Arlington Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, said in an Associated Press story that it might seem as if deadly violence has increased because the Internet and social media delivers vivid news from everywhere in almost real time. "We learn about the nature of how violent these acts are, see pictures of the victims, reporters talk to neighbors that knew the victims, and there's a tendency of humanizing and personalizing this story in a ways we never have before." Del Carmen's comments were part of the AP story that ran at NPR.org and ABC News.com.
Philanthropy recognized
Taylor and Shirlee Gandy will be awarded the Distinguished Philanthropists Award primarily through efforts that funded the Kennedy Tribute in downtown Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. But Casa Mañana and The University of Texas at Arlington also have benefited from the Gandys' fundraising expertise. The Association of Fundraising Professionals will honor several philanthropists at a Wednesday awards ceremony in celebration of National Philanthropy Day.
Election day
Allan Saxe, a UT Arlington associate political science professor, said one reason voters will stay away from the polls today stems in the difficulty in understanding the way the proposed constitutional amendments are composed and written, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. "Constitutional Amendments do matter because once passed it is difficult to overturn them since they are now part of the Constitution," Saxe said.

Lunch in Cambridge?
- 5 Comments
- Follow
Looking for a good lunch spot while we're checking out Harvard. We like burgers, sandwiches, and pizza.
Mr. Bartley's Burger Corttage for hamburgers, etc.
0 -
Hi Rise Bakery & Cafe has wonderful sandwiches and great bakery items. My personal favorite is the vanilla loaf - YUM. You can also check out Crema Cafe, which has great sandwiches as well. As for pizza, Cambridge 1 has nice grilled flatbread type pizzas. You can also try Upper Crust, although I don't think they have seating inside.
And of course, I love Bartley's Burgers. Be prepared to wait in a line for that.

This is a great thread regarding all the great spots in Cambridge.

Sandwiches: Darwin's probably has the best sandwiches in the area, IMO, although Crema is a close second. Hi Rise is okay, but they have dramatically cut back on sandwich options at their Harvard square location; I find their new menu to be somewhat overpriced and not nearly as good as their sandwiches used to be.
Pizza: I'll second the Cambridge 1 rec for grilled flatbread-style pizza. For more traditional pizza by the slice, I like Pinocchio's, Upper Crust, or Oggi. See here also for some discussion of Cambridge pizza options: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/633093

Scam Alert: Hard cash, cold comfort
Sophisticated 'mystery shopper' scam lures people into cashing fake checks and then sending most of the money back to a bogus company
Marco police have been alerted to yet another money-making scam doing the rounds.
This time, the rip-off involves inviting people to be "mystery shoppers," as well as doing "bank and money transferring agency evaluations."
Calling itself Godiva Monitoring & Research Group, the "company" sends checks for around $4,000 to people's home addresses along with a set of instructions inside.
The first is to be a "mystery shopper" at any of a number of well-known national stores, using $100 from the cashed check.
The second task is to "evaluate the efficiency of a money transferring agency" by seeing if their "agents follow the guidelines as stipulated by law concerning the transfer of funds over $1,000."
The "company" also tells people they can pocket $400 as their "salary."
Bottom line: Gullible recipients of fake, but seemingly legitimate checks, cash the checks, spend the $100 on mystery shopping, pocket the $400 salary, and then wire close to $3,500 back to the "company" as instructed.
Some time later, the fake checks are picked up in an audit, but it's too late — the "company" has scored and the check cashers are responsible for the discrepancies.
Marco Police Chief Thom Carr points out that most of these scams originate outside the country.
"We get these (alerts) about two to three times a week," Carr said.
"People need to be aware of this type of activity. I don't know how many times we have put info in the news, as well as all other law enforcement agencies warning of these scams."
Carr said offers that involve parting with money in any manner should simply be ignored.
"Therein lies the problem," Carr said. "People want to believe they can get something for nothing. (It's) not going to happen."
A Marco businessman who was targeted by the scam artists, said he'd done legitimate mystery shopping before, except that he was provided with a gift certificate, and not cash.
The businessman, who asked not to be identified because of the unsavory connotation of scams, said the red light began to flash in his mind when no mention of a W-9 form (required by the IRS if more than $250 is being earned) was made.
He took the check to a local bank, where it took quite a while to ascertain it was fake.
"It had the watermarks on it, and also routing numbers," he said. "And if I were to have cashed the check, it would have gone through."
"It was very well put together," he said. "At that point (about a week ago), there wasn't an FBI file on it, but there is now.
Detective Ed Stenzel of the Marco Island Police Department said these types of complaints are not investigated locally because they are out of the jurisdiction of the Island.
They are instead forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission, he said.
The commission has a Web site reference to this, and other similar types, of scams. Visit ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt034.shtm.

Edelbrock Crate engines: Are they worth it?
My huge '81 Olds wagon has a bored, balanced, cammed 403 that the previous owner installed [but forgot to replace the valve guides, hence an internal vacuum leak]. Personally I would have chosen a 455, because the 403 has plenty of top end, but not enough torque to move a 4200lb vehicle to my satisfaction.
I need a new carb, and my mechanic suggested that I trash the Quadrajet in favor of a Holley. While shopping around, I found a nice Edelbrock for a decent price. So anyway, I noticed this 'crate engine' category and -- knowing that Chip Foose likes to install them in his 'Overhaulin' projects, I decided to drool a bit. Are they worth the $5-10K that they charge? Sure seems like it would be nice to just order something that's already been built and bolt it onto my TH400 tranny. Given that it has a Diesel VIN number, emissions not an issue, so I can basically put in any engine I damn well please. Bear in mind: I'm a driver, not a builder. No garage.

The edelbrock carbs are very nice you just put it on and go they are usually set where they need to be. As far as there engines they usually start with a GM block and just add edelbrock parts most of them come with a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty.
Mitchell |
i have not had personal experience with the edelbrock carbs but have not heard the best reports about them from people on the net.many people don't like quadrajets they are a very good carb.just not as easy to tune and work on as a holley.if you can afford it,i would go with one of the barry grant carbs..they are very tuneable and again easy to work on.they have better tuning qualities than the holley.if you don't want to spend as much money the holley 3310 750 is the way to go.its rellatively cheap and has many upgrades that you can do to it at your pace or as you can afford it.
as for the motor,you can add some money to your 403 and change the power band with some work on your heads and the right cam and some upgrades that again can be done as you can afford it.or if you want to be done with it and you want torque,get the 383 or 385 or 427 from GM.GM has a slew of engines to choose from but if you want that dream engine,buy the new 400 block from dart or brodix with complete machine work and assemble the parts of your choice and build the biggest small block you can think of.there are so many choice's and ways to go that you really have to get some research and a game plan together first.it sounds like the cheapest easiest way is to use your 403 and change the power band. |
She gets sh*tty gas mileage and has poor low-end performance. I would keep the 403 if it were mounted in a Cutlass, but we're talking about a Delta 88 Custom Cruiser here. Before I would spend money on that power plant, I would just as soon swap it out for the big-block that would bolt in the easiest. That's why I was thinking of looking for a bigger Olds engine. Also I intend to use it for towing from time to time [rarely], so torque is desired. But you didn't seem to be impressed by the 455, so I'm willing to consider the other options you mentioned. Again, given that I have a diesel VIN number, emissions is not an issue. |
I don't know too much about the Edelbrock crate engines, but I purchased a crate motor from Gail Trent at American Speed out of Moline, IL. a few years ago. They specialise in low compression high torque/horsepower units. My 355 SBC was guarenteed to make 440 hp and it dynoed at 446. The engine is in my 68 RS Z28, (original 302 is fresh and stored) and I wail on it pretty good. So far no complaints.
It would probably be the best swap that you have from an "ease of installation" viewpoint, too. Going to a 454 Chevy would almost certainly require a different transmission. Yours MIGHT be one of those "universal " bell-housings, but it is much more LIKELY to be what they call a "BOP" (Buick-Olds-Pontiac) bolt pattern. |
That's something to consider when selecting an engine. I'll create another thread when that day comes. Quote:
To all who posted here so far: We thank you for your very helpful input. |
If you have any thoughts of towing, I wouldn't even consider the Edelbrock crate motor. You would be better off looking at the GM Performance parts 383 HT, or similar with some low end torque. I built my 355 to the specs of the 410 hp Eddy motor.(RPM heads, cam, c/r, etc) The Performer RPM cam has a ton of overlap, which kills your low end. It is made for 1500rpm - 6500 rpm range. I don't believe it made anywhere close to the claimed numbers. I was running 13.7 at 99.66mph with a 70 Chevelle. That's pretty close the the 270rwhp in thr Vette mentioned according to some of the hp calculators. I will however say, that with the overlap, the car sounded mean. I replaced the cam, & increased compression at the end of summer, but didn't get the chance to get to the track to see the improvement. I couldn't roast the tires through 2nd gear with the rpm cam, but I sure can now. The new cam is a Crane Solid 116481, 518/536 lift, 270/288 duration, LC 113*, & 53* overlap as compared to the RPM 488/510 lift, 308/318 duration, LC112* & overlap of 89*. Good luck.
I've done some prelim research on the Olds 455 and am leaning in that direction. There are places [such as Mondello's in Cali] that specialize in putting performance packages together for that engine, so somebody has to think it's worth something. And given that a reasonably modified 455 can put out 550bs/ft + of torque, that should be sufficient to move the big wagon decently -- even with a load. And it will cost a lot less than any crate engine. So I'm gonna be deliberate about this and start shopping for blocks and keep it in storage while the process of collecting parts is ongoing. I'll definitely be checking in with you folks for tips as needed. Thanks again for the help. Last edited by walford; 02-07-2006 at 12:09 PM. |

Title: Epistatic adult plant resistance in wheat to stem rust cosegregates with Sr12 seedling resistance Authors
Rouse, Matthew | |
Sherman, Jamie - | |
Talbert, Luther - |
Submitted to: Abstracts of International Powdery Mildew Conference
Publication Type: Abstract Only Publication Acceptance Date: July 28, 2012 Publication Date: August 28, 2012 Citation: Rouse, M.N., Sherman, J., Talbert, L. 2012. Epistatic adult plant resistance in wheat to stem rust cosegregates with Sr12 seedling resistance. Abstracts of International Powdery Mildew Conference. p. 156. Technical Abstract: Wheat adult plant resistance (APR) to stem rust is desirable. Researchers have characterized the inheritance of APR in cultivar Thatcher as complex. In order to identify the loci providing APR in Thatcher, we evaluated 160 RILs derived from Thatcher/McNeal for stem rust reaction in the field in Kenya for two seasons, in the field in St. Paul for one season, and at the seedling stage with races TTKSK, SCCSC, and RKQQC. The population was previously genotyped with a total of 618 SSR and DArT markers. Segregation of seedling resistance to race SCCSC was consistent with the presence of a single major gene: Sr12. All RILs and parents were susceptible as seedlings to race TTKSK. However, adult plant stem rust severities in Kenya varied from 5% to 80%. QTL mapping identified 4 QTL with an LOD greater than 3.0 in at least one year. The markers closest to the QTL peaks were used in an ANOVA to determine the additive and epistatic effects. A QTL on 3BS was detected in all three environments and explained 27-35% of the variation. The peak of this QTL was at the same location as Sr12. Epistatic interactions were significant especially between Sr12 and QTL on chromosome arms 1AL and 2BS. Though Sr12 cosegregated with the largest effect QTL, lines with Sr12 were not always resistant. The data suggest that Sr12 or a closely linked gene, though not effective to race TTKSK alone, confers APR when combined with other resistance loci. |

As most people know, mushrooms love dark places. You can find them growing in the dim recesses of forests or at the foot of old trees. But is that where we get most of the mushrooms that end up in our hearty risottos and juicy portabella sandwiches?

Bryn Dentinger and Laura Suz, mycologists with the Royal Botanic Gardens in Surrey, England, were curious about what was in their marketplace 'shrooms. So they bought a packet of dried Chinese porcini and took it to the lab.
Today we're joined by John Buerger, owner and operator of Alpha Natural Holistic Land Management based in Cedaredge.
He recently gave a talk at the Blue Sage Center in Paonia about how we can use native mushroom cultures to fight noxious weeds.
John joined us to talk about his history practicing and educating the public about using natural methods to work with the land and control weeds.
Last week the Almanac saw a lot of talk about mushrooms – Steve Smith said they seem to be popping up in larger numbers than usual – Marilyn Stone wondered what factors affect mushroom numbers – and Amber Kleinman asked whether it's possible to grow puffballs in a yard.

Light modulation by electrochromism
Applied Optics, Vol. 15, Issue 11, pp. 2812-2816 (1976)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (526 KB)
Dyes change their absorption curve when exposed to an electric field. The conditions under which this effect can be made large enough for application to light modulation are discussed. Theoretical expectations correspond with recorded curves of a test sample.

Last Friday, The Daily Beast discovered yet another bombshell deep in the gigabytes of documents unearthed in the hacking of Sony Pictures by the so-called "Guardians of Peace." The topic was the "points" (back-end compensation, bonus money if a film clears a profit) distributed among the marquee talent for last year's Oscar nominee American Hustle, a breakdown that went thus: Director David O. Russell and stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner each received nine percent, while stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence each received seven percent. Hmmmm. What makes those seven-percenters different from the nine-percenters? … Read More

'The Newsroom' Series Finale Recap: "What Kind of Day Has It Been"
Last week's "Oh Shenandoah" will likely be remembered as the real finale of The Newsroom, a perfect summary of the show's issues with mansplanation and the 21st century before it goes off the air. There's almost no point to "What Kind of Day Has It Been," because at this point, there's nothing this finale could do to change the reputation "Oh Shenandoah" sealed for the TV ages. At the very least, it's a more likable sendoff to a show that's not especially likable, centering on one of The Newsroom's most inoffensive characters: Charlie Skinner. … Read More
Aaron Sorkin's Response to Criticisms of That 'Newsroom' Episode Perfectly Illustrates What's Wrong With That 'Newsroom' Episode
Two days after The Newsroom aired its penultimate episode, the outrage over Aaron Sorkin's apparent stance on campus sexual assault has expanded far beyond its initial audience of Sorkin diehards and dedicated hate-watchers. Responses came pouring in, not just from the Internet shrew-hordes the creator vocally disdains but from outlets the old media champion supposedly reveres. The New Yorker's Emily Nussbaum deemed the episode "crazy-making"; The Atlantic's David Sims called the plot line "horrifying"; there was even dissent from within Sorkin's own writers' room. Presumably, if anything could break Sorkin's notorious faith in his characters', and thus his, essential rightness, this was it. … Read More
'The Newsroom' Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: "Oh Shenandoah"
The media commentary on The Newsroom has always been an odd mix of troglodytic and eerily prescient. On the one hand, the show is, by its very design, a year and a half too late to have anything real to say on current event—an approach that always seemed to fit well with a preachy worldview that's far more than a year and a half behind the times. And then, very occasionally, the show manages to seem almost clairvoyant. Like when "Oh Shenandoah" airs this week. … Read More
'The Newsroom' Season 3, Episode 4 Recap: "Contempt"
Welcome to "Contempt," or: "The One Where Will and Mac Get Married–for Journalism!," also known as "The One Where Jim and Hallie Break Up—for Journalism!" and "The One Where Maggie and Professor Ethicist Break Up—for Journalism!." It's an episode that's the culmination of various Sorkin tropes, so much so that it's less exasperating than a perfect example of the creator's tics, to be passed down to Screenwriting 101 students throughout the ages. Except for that rooftop scene. … Read More
'The Newsroom' Season 3, Episode 3 Recap: "Main Justice"
We open on last week's cliffhanger, with Gary "HR Nightmare" Cooper singing Cole Porter and walking in on the FBI. He swears—gotta relish your time on HBO while it's still there!—and Mac yells about her wedding, but Charlie's the one who actually gets his act together and does something. While he "calls" ACN's West Coast office to "set up" a live broadcast of the raid, Don and Jim scramble to set up a functional newsroom, the thing it is their job as producers to do. Maggie shouts empowered stuff at her ex-boyfriends, like "Shut up!" and "Your fly is unzipped!" and "FUCK!," and the FBI calls off the raid instead of calling Charlie's bluff. … Read More
'The Newsroom' Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: "Run"
No wonder Aaron Sorkin is quitting TV! The first five minutes of "Run" gives us the most perfect distillation of the Sorkin sensibility we're ever likely to get, straight from the man of himself. "I'm a douche on the side of the angels!" Chris Messina hollers across the table at an unimpressed Kat Dennings. Game over, mic dropped. Well-meaning self-righteousness, explained by a middle-aged man to a young woman: we've reached Peak Sorkin, and the guy's understandably chosen to quit (for screenwriting) while he's ahead. … Read More
'The Newsroom' Season 3 Premiere Recap: "Boston"
Well, it happened: in a plot line about half a sentence removed from an Onion story, The Newsroom decided to take on the Boston Marathon. Character-wise, we begin the final season almost exactly where we left off, except Meryl Streep's daughter is now working for ACN as a blogger, complete with a roped-off little blogger pen proclaiming she's a part of "ACN DIGITAL," not the actual News Night team. Anyway, Aaron Sorkin has claimed that one of his biggest regrets from the show was giving journalists the impression he's telling them how to do their jobs. That may be true, but "Boston" sure doesn't show it. … Read More
Does 'The Newsroom' Reveal a Grand Unified Sorkinverse™?
For the most part, The Newsroom's final season is dying-broadcast-news-business as usual. Will McAvoy continues to be an insufferable blowhard. Olivia Munn continues to be way, way better than the show. And the Internet continues to be the Big, Bad Bogeyman that's taking journalism to hell in a hand basket. (At one point, Meryl Streep's daughter says the word "retweets" in a way that is supposed to convey profound shame. It does not work, but not for lack of trying.) But there is one new, potentially earth-shaking development here — one with very important consequences for our understanding of Sorkinland. … Read More
10 TV Events to Look Out for in November
After September and October's slew of premieres, November is a bit of a weird month for TV. Late fall is a grab bag of cable shows, reality TV, Lifetime specials, and stand-up comedy, with a few scattered network dramas in between. Still, with Grumpy Cat, Gordon Ramsay, and Aaron Sorkin on the agenda, November's hardly lacking in water cooler conversation material. Here are the top ten events to line up on your DVR this month. … Read More

Title: | Downward influence of stratospheric final warming events in an idealized model |

Subject(s): | stratosphere
downward influence modeling planetary waves |
Abstract: | The stratospheric final warming is the final transition of the zonal winds from wintertime westerlies to summertime easterlies as the solar heating of the high latitude stratosphere increases in the springtime. Recent observational analyses suggested that stratospheric final warming makes a significant contribution to the spring transitions in the lower troposphere, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. It is still not clear, however, whether these transitions are due to the downward influence from the stratosphere. We first explore the hypothesis that much of the observed tropospheric signal of the final warming is initiated from the stratosphere. Large ensembles of final warmings are simulated in an idealized dynamical core model, by imposing a radiative equilibrium temperature transition from winter to summer only in the stratosphere. Our results suggest that a substantial fraction of the observed tropospheric changes that occur in conjunct with the final warming are induced from the stratosphere. We further investigate the mechanisms of the downward influence of the final warmings on the tropospheric circulation. Results from our zonally symmetric model suggest that stratospheric wave driving can induce a residual circulation and affect the tropospheric circulation. The tropospheric signals due to this mechanism are, however, very weak and are mostly confined to the upper troposphere. On the other hand, the stratosphere can affect the propagation of planetary waves from the troposphere, resulting in a burst of wave activity and the zonal wind deceleration prior to the final warming in the troposphere. We also perform a series of perturbation experiments for the sudden and final warmings to test the roles of the troposphere and the stratosphere in determining the predictability of stratospheric warmings. For a late final warming, almost all of the predictability comes from the troposphere. For the rest of the final warmings and for sudden warmings, however, the troposphere determines the predictability until very close to the time of warming onset. This finding, consistent with the conventional view of the warming, reflects that center role of the troposphere in determining the stratospheric warmings. Results from a comprehensive global climate model, the Whole-Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM), are used to analyze the final warmings in both hemispheres. Although WACCM has zonal winds that are too strong in the spring, which causes the mean onset dates to be delayed at least one month with respect to the observations, the zonal wind evolutions resemble the observations. The similarity between the models and observations suggests that the downward influence of the stratospheric final warming on the tropospheric circulation is real and substantial, especially in the Northern Hemisphere. |

New Owner Of The Buffalo Bills Becoming Clearer
Bidders to potentially own the Buffalo Bills have only a couple weeks left to notify executives that they want to make a run at owning the team.
Bidders to potentially own the Buffalo Bills have only a couple weeks left to notify executives that they want to make a run at owning the team.
NHL sources say the NHL Board of Governors has approved the sale of the Buffalo Sabres to Terry Pegula. That word coming just hours before the Sabres game Friday night against the St. Louis Blues. The only thing left to do now is to sign the papers making the ownership swap official and that's expected to happen this Tuesday
Tom Golisano along with minority owners Larry Quinn and Dan Dipofi met with the media in a one hour press conference on Thursday at HSBC Arena inwhat was basically a farewell. The sale of the Buffalo Sabres for $189-million will probably be complete within the month with the approval of the National Hockey League.
When the guy shows up at HSBC Arena in the flesh it's hard to deny he's not there. The Buffalo Sabres released a statement that Terry Pegula met with team officials on Tuesday for informal discussions ahead of buying the team from Tom Golisano. For weeks various sources have reported that Pegula will plunk down $175-million to buy the team, but minority investor Larry Quinn continued to deny there was an elephant in the room...."a sale? What sale? I don't know anything about a sale." I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea.
Looks like the sale of the Buffalo Sabres to billionaire Terry Pagula will come next week. According to a report on WGRZ-TV Channel 2, an agreement to sell the team has been reached between Pagula and Tom Golisano, but it won't be announced until after the completion of the World Junior Hockey Championships taking place this week in Buffalo.
Haven't heard much about a possible sale of the Sabres since we first heard that Terry Pagula had made a bid to buy the team. Well, it turns out Pagula was at last night's Sabres game checking things out and he got to see Drew Stafford score a hat trick in a 3 to 2 win over the Bruins.
I was reading the story in the Buffalo News written by Bucky Gleason about Terry Pagula - a self made billionaire who wants to buy the Buffalo Sabres. Pagula loves football and hockey, but his passion is the Sabres. His friends say he worked hard all his life, is very modest, down to earth and a blue collar guy who people in Buffalo can identify with.

@iacas - My point? The ProV1 proves that there is no need to market a ball based on swing speed selection. End of discussion. Because it is the most popular ball - and the most sold, it proves beyond any doubt that ball selection need not be the complex issue that everyone makes it out to be.
@Pretzel - what is the performance advantage of using one ball for everything?

Funky Bright Baby Clothes?
(45 Posts)Does anyone know any brands that do funky bright coloured baby clothes that are NOT exclusively available pastel shades of blue, pink, white and yellow?
Specifically, I'm on the search for something cheery to buy for my new babe for the trip home from hospital, but generally I have an aversion to pink and am keen to find a good quality retailer that will do interesting good quality outfits over the years too.
I have the same issue
Can't stand baby blue or boys in camouflage & denim!
Depends what your budget is.
The whole Nordic kids range is absolutely lovely but you'll need a second mortage, as with tobytiger, brights and stripes etc.
Next have some lovely bright colours in for boys at the moment - blue, red etc and they are cheaper.
There is a website that just does plain colourful vests etc but I can't remember it - someone will be along shortly who can
Hi thanks, That's what I'm talking about!... the nordic kids and the polarn o pyret stuff is great!
The only prob now is the price - £30 for a babygro!? Still - maybe for the odd special occassion.
Will check out Next and H&M too once on mat leave - (their online sites are not v good.
If there is a polarn o pyret near you, they often have quite good stuff on sale.
We got loads in the sale for DD when she was really small. They are pretty good quality as well.
DS is kitted out in a mixture of hand me down and new P&P and Nordic stuff - it's really really good quality and even better when they get a bit older and don't grow so fast. You can't get P&P on line in the UK but they have a few shops. www.thehedgepig.co.uk do similar stuff to Nordic and sometimes it's a bit cheaper.
H&M are good too.
always brilliant quality. The stock changes all the time too so have a look again in a few days,
La redoute and p.o.p are fab too.
and H&M , baby gap and Zara.
Green baby is the nicest cotton by far.
But if you want something bright this is very seasonal with some little tights...
Toby Tiger, have a look on ebay. Lovely bright colours. 2nd H&M, gap (although I find ebay better for choice than the stores these days) and next catalogue as a lot of the stores just do blue & pink pastel stuff.
Rainbow babies- any colour you want.
Have bought stuff from this site..fun, bright clothes., really cool clothes..I hate the plain blue and pink outfits.
They have a sale on at the moment - hoorah and also donate to charity which makes a nice change
www.schmoomin.com hope this helps?
if you want funky colour baby gro's i dont think you can do much better than here...
Bright babygros
www.polarnopyret.co.uk - online at last! Free P&P at the moment - quote FPP at checkout
Pumpkin Patch is great, but again can be a bit pricey.
Blue zoo at debenhams is great for brighter stuff!
these are cute. I've just bought a few pairs. I haven't received them yet but they seem really cool and lots of choice.

Sarah Fowler - firstname.lastname@example.com
Mississippi University for Women President Jim Borsig told Columbus Rotarians Tuesday that a dramatic increase in degrees awarded is an indicator the school is on the right track.
According to Borsig, The W has had an 86 percent increase in baccalaureate degrees since 2008. In 2008, 356 people graduated from the university with baccalaureate degrees. That number rose to 688 bachelorette degrees in 2013.
"That's pretty unprecedented," Borsig said. He added that The W awarded more degrees in the college of nursing in 2013 that was awarded in the entire university in 2008.
"That gives you some idea of the growth of one of our state-wide missions, which is in nursing," he said. "It's counterintuitive to our size, but we have the largest college of nursing in the state of Mississippi. That's by head count and that's by degrees earned. We are the leader in numbers and we are the leader in quality, having 100 percent pass rates for our nurse practitioners."
In addition to its mission in nursing, Borsig said the university has another state-wide mission in culinary arts. The W is in a partnership with East Mississippi Community College, Hinds Community College in Jackson, and Gulf Coast Community College.
Borsig said the university has a strong history of being a liberal arts college.
"We still produce great teachers, we still have a very strong college of arts and sciences and are very proud of our tradition of a liberal education.
"I don't think there is any time anymore important than now for a high-quality liberal arts education. Every one of our graduates completes the same core of the liberal arts...you want our students to be able to speak. You want our students to be able to write. You want them to be able to focus on critical thinking. You want them to be able to work in groups. You want them to be able to lead a community in a civil manner.
"Those are the things that happen in a liberal arts education and our liberal arts education is infused across our college of business and professional studies, across the college of nursing and across the college of education and I think that I could make the argument that in this day and age where we tend to have pretty shrill arguments about things, that being able to have more well-educated graduates who can lead civic clubs, lead other organizations, lead community kinds of activities all really helps us move this region, any region in the country forward."

Emergence of linear wave segments and predictable traits in saturated nonlinear media
Optics Letters, Vol. 28, Issue 4, pp. 260-262 (2003)

We find the key behind the existence traits of asymptotic saturated nonlinear optical solitons in the emergence of linear wave segments. These traits, produced by the progressive relegation of nonlinear dynamics to wave tails, allow a direct and versatile analytical prediction of self-trapping existence conditions and simple soliton scaling laws, which we confirm experimentally in saturated-Kerr self-trapping observed in photorefractives. This approach provides the means to correctly evaluate beam tails in the saturated regime, which is instrumental in the prediction of soliton interaction forces.

HOT TOPIC; A Government adviser has said forcing smokers to apply for a pounds 10 permit to buy cigarettes could help people quit. What's your view?
Byline: edited by BOB CYPHER"I think it is a bit unfair. Smokers are hit hard enough as it is with increased prices and the smoking ban."
Rhian Nott, 27, a customer adviser, from Grangetown, Cardiff
"I wouldn't pay, it's ridiculous. At more than pounds 5 a pack already, don't they think they are making enough out of us as it is?"
Marc O'Keefe, 27, a BT worker, from Penylan, Cardiff.
"It seems tax on everything just keeps getting more and more. I am worried what they will think to tax next. Petrol, cigarettes and alcohol seem to be going up really quickly."
Kate Zeo, 22, a customer service worker, from Canton, Cardiff.
"This is ridiculous and it's totally unfair on people who are already hit hard by the Government. But I would pay if I was forced to."
Roy Crocker, 20, a call centre worker, from Bargoed
"I would never pay this out of principle and I don't see how they would police it. I don't want to pay any more to smoke."
Rhys Pursey, 23, a barman, from Rhiwbina, Cardiff
