Chiarello is founder of the Napa Valley restaurant Tra Vigne, and his recipes combine his Italian heritage (from Calabria, the toe of Italy's boot) with local produce to mixed results. Some innovations are wonderful: Warm Peach and Prosciutto Salad is a great variation on traditional prosciutto with melon, and the flavors of succulent peaches and salty prosciutto marry so well it's a wonder no one's come up with the combination before. His four seasonal takes on panzanella—a traditional tomato bread salad for summer, Autumn Panzanella with mushrooms, Winter Panzanella with squash and brussels sprouts, and Spring Panzanella with asparagus and peas—also stand out. Occasionally, Chiarello gets whimsical with titles, as with Green Eggs and Ham, a rustic dish of prosciutto, poached eggs and basil oil on toast. Sometimes, though, he goes just a bit overboard with the food itself, as with Brodetto di Mare seafood stew served over risotto, which sounds like a runny combination, and Baby Back Ribs with Espresso BBQ Sauce. Photography and layout are beautiful, making this book as much a pleasure to page through as it is to cook from, and the more appealing fare, such as a Spring Pea Soup with a confetti spray of chive flowers and Radicchio Slaw with Warm Honey Dressing, makes up for the occasional odd duck. (Sept.)
Forecast:These are the kind of contemporary, Italian-influenced flavors Americans can never seem to get enough of. The association with Chiarello's two PBS series, Michael Chiarello's Napa and Season by Season, will only supplement healthy sales.

How the Gay Marriage Battle Hurts BusinessBy
On Tuesday night, when President Obama was making up his mind to publicly support gay marriage, the Colorado legislature was working on a gay rights issue of its own—specifically, a bill allowing civil unions.
The bill was notable for two reasons: First, Colorado had banned gay marriage and voted down a domestic partnership bill just six years ago; now it was poised to deliver gays stronger legal rights. Second, the measure drew support from both parties and had already cleared several committees in the Republican-led House. A sufficient number of Democrats and Republicans supported the bill to ensure it would pass, and Governor John Hickenlooper had announced he would sign it.
Yet early Wednesday morning, the last day of the legislative session, Republican House Speaker Frank McNulty made sure that couldn't happen by employing the "nuclear option"—pulling the civil unions bill and dozens more that were pending. (The Colorado House action was unrelated to the president, occurring before Obama's comments on gay marriage.) For obvious reasons, most media attention on the fallout has focused on how it will affect civil unions. Yet the collateral damage from McNulty's tactic—the 30-odd bills that were also yanked—included many important measures that affect business and were suddenly thrown into chaos.
They include oil and gas severance taxes; several large water conservation construction fund projects; a state business development and retention program; a task force to study the cost of regulatory compliance for businesses; and new rules to ensure mandatory participation in the federal E-verify system. All this was halted in the service of stopping a civil unions bill that most Coloradans support.
One of the primary complaints that business interests make about government is that it often creates costly and unnecessary "uncertainty." It's hard to imagine a clearer example than what's happening in Colorado. As for cost, that's not limited to businesses. Today, Hickenlooper called for a special legislative session to finish work on the civil unions bill and many of the others blocked by its foes. That session begins on May 14, and according to the Denver Post, it will cost taxpayers $23,500 a day.

Web Exclusive
"Please make underneath free," the nurse said, pointing to a semiprivate nook in the spotless, modern gynecology office. I looked around, locating a mirror and a hook for my clothes, but no hospital gowns. After a few moments of confusion, I realized this was no oversight on the nurse's part: There were no hospital gowns. Gritting my teeth, I emerged bottomless from the dressing area for my examination, feeling exposed and slightly ridiculous. Dimly I recognized that, to paraphrase Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, I was not in Kansas anymore.
It was the end of my very first week as a resident of Munich, home of my German husband, Uwe. The conclusion of that examination–a confirmed pregnancy–left me stunned. I had just started to meet Uwe's friends; I was learning where the food stores were and familiarizing myself with the comparatively limited product choice and with German coins and bills; I'd even lined up a freelance job. But my pregnancy was to derail any additional plans to adapt gradually to my new surroundings. Instead of taking lessons in the German language, I would be thrust into German society through a crash course in German medicine. Uwe pointed out that there is rarely a convenient time for a baby to arrive, and his philosophical attitude helped me adjust to my condition. If he, who a few months before had been a carefree, sociable bachelor, could accept this sudden new responsibility without a murmur, I could but follow his lead.
Meanwhile, without half trying, I picked up a specialized vocabulary–one heavily weighted with prenatal terms. Schwangerschaft. Gebärmutter. Fruchtwasserprobe. (Pregnancy. Uterus. Amniocentesis.) The fact of my pregnancy soon acquainted me with Germany's vaunted system of medical insurance (which provides, for a price, generous coverage for all) and its successful variation on socialized medicine. I learned that I must choose a hospital in which to undergo certain required pregnancy tests and eventually give birth. With some trepidation I discovered that the doctor who delivered my baby would be whoever was on duty at the time.
I chose a huge, turn-of-the-century hospital in our neighborhood that had been recommended by several young mothers Uwe knew. Though its wide corridors, 20-foot ceilings, crucifixes, and occasional shrouded religious sculptures were old-fashioned and somewhat intimidating, I came to have confidence in the skill and efficiency of the doctors, and their anonymity ceased to bother me. As my gynecologist and the hospital doctors carefully noted the progress of my pregnancy in my Mutterpass, or "mother's passport," I realized that I was part of a well-run, well-thought-out system. Yet I was puzzled when, after several mysterious but apparently benign bleeding episodes, the doctors saw no need to explain what could have caused them. "Wouldn't you want an explanation if you were me?" I asked Uwe. "No," he replied, "as long as I knew nothing serious was wrong." (Years later, an ear-nose-throat specialist who operated on both my sons responded to a query of mine in this fashion: "If I were to tell you how I operate, you might as well become a surgeon yourself.")
German patients' more resigned attitude, less insistent on what Americans would see as their right to know, is a further indication of something I had sensed during that first visit with the gynecologist: the direct connection between a country's culture and its approach to medicine. In what other country but this home of superb chocolate would a pediatrician describe it as Nature's healthy relaxant? And where else but in Germany would beer be considered not an alcoholic beverage but food?
As any trip to a public swimming pool in Germany demonstrates, Germans have an accepting, no-nonsense attitude toward the human body and a lack of understanding of what Americans would call modesty. Topless women of all ages and shapes, often with unshaven legs and armpits, men in the briefest of swimming trunks, and open-air changing are the norm.
Eventually I would learn that I was not the only foreign woman who gritted her teeth in German gynecologists' offices. A few months after I arrived in Munich, I met a British-educated but partially German-raised Indian woman at a birth-preparation class. Sonu became my class translator and my friend, and her fluency in not only the German language but the ways of German society was a frequent help to me. She sympathized with my discomfort in the examination room, telling me of her gynecologist's disdain when she asked to be draped for her examination because her two-year-old was present. "You Asians should get over your prudishness," he said. Such self-righteous contempt for other cultures' mores is, of course, unattractive. But the Germans' lack of prudery, their natural approach to all things natural, also has a positive effect on the way their doctors practice medicine.
Like many Americans, I suspect, I had always assumed that the way medicine is practiced in the US is the way it ought to be practiced. It had never occurred to me that the way we Americans are–demanding of immediate results and certain that any ailment can be cured–might have an effect on our doctors' approach to their profession. But I was able to be more objective about German medicine, whose differences from the American version are subtle but telling. German doctors, for example, are far slower to prescribe antibiotics, painkillers, and other strong drugs than their American counterparts, and even those who don't consider themselves strict homeopaths make frequent use of medications derived solely from plants and other organic products. (They use antibiotics sparingly, especially with children, because of the body's tendency to develop immunity to such drugs over time.) Though they admire American medicine for its technological advances, sending their more ambitious colleagues to the States for on-the-job training, they still choose to take a less invasive approach.
After my first child, Charlie, was born, I learned that the most frequently prescribed German solution to lingering bronchial problems was "plenty of fresh air," regardless of the weather, with a plant-based syrup thrown in as a mild corrective. And before prescribing a drug, many German doctors will suggest an alternative. For women with incipient breast infections, they recommend massaging the breasts while nursing; to bring down a baby's fever, they tell parents to wrap the child's legs in a towel enclosing a cold, wet cloth. (In my experience, both these prescriptions work.)
This more natural approach occasionally demands stoicism on the part of the patient. Local anaesthetics and painkillers are used only when absolutely necessary. German methods also require patience on the part of the sick person or the parents, patience I have not always been able to muster. "Damn it!" my American upbringing sometimes has cried out. "Can't we get rid of it already?" But time and again I have been forced to admit that while milder remedies usually take longer to cure an illness, the end result has been the same as that achieved by a more aggressive treatment–and without tampering with the body's natural defense system. The fact that German doctors have less fear of being sued for malpractice may have something to do with this more relaxed approach. (The law allows patients to sue, but few do–reflecting, perhaps, the greater deference Germans pay to authority.) In addition, of course, their less invasive remedies help keep costs down.
After living in Germany for some time, I arrived at what I believe is a more significant explanation. This is a nation with a centuries-old passion for the Great Outdoors, a nation of bike riders (and bike paths), of nature walkers and mountain climbers of all ages, for whom exercise is a pleasure, not a grim duty (one reason why obesity is a rarity, despite the heavy German diet). Unlike Americans, Germans have never quite forgotten medicine's sources in the natural world. This tendency shows itself in other areas of German life as well. Real candles still grace some family Christmas trees, and well-crafted wooden toys stock children's rooms. Cotton next to the skin is a near-religion (fireproof polyester baby pajamas are regarded with incomprehension and horror), and air-conditioning is looked upon as both wasteful and unhealthy. This is a land of recyclables and returnables, where throwaway plastic bottles never quite took over and people bring their own, environmentally sound, baskets or cloth bags with them when they shop (plastic bags are available, but one must pay for them). Napkins, either paper or cloth, rarely are used by younger Germans, who regard the former as an unnecessary waste of good trees and the latter, because they have to be washed, as an inessential consumer of energy. (I persist in setting the table with paper napkins, but I usually am the only person to use one.)
German appliances are, in fact, distinguished by their energy-saving technology. Yet many Germans choose not to own a clothes dryer, because even the most advanced dryers are energy guzzlers, and as such are not only expensive to run but ecologically unkosher. Encouraged in such "green" tendencies by the high cost of energy, Germans of all ages and political stripes are consistent in their conservationism. In the US, power mowers roar where hand mowers buzz in Germany, fans and air-conditioners hum where Germans would close curtains and head for the shade. In the US, lights are left on in unused rooms and showers can last more than 15 minutes–both serious faux-pas in Germany.
This is a country where even the most ordinary drugstore or pharmacy is stocked with herbal teas to treat a wide variety of complaints, from colds to digestive or circulatory problems to kidney ailments. As I discovered in the hospital after Charlie's birth, newborns in Germany are fed a particularly mild herbal tea to settle their stomachs and quench their thirst. And, as I learned several years later, kindergartens often serve their three- to five-year-old pupils a sugarless tea rather than juice. (Amazingly, most of the children seem to like it.)
In Germany, the ancient practice of midwifery is still a respected and respectable profession, not the fringe alternative or vogue it has become in the States. The hospital where I delivered my children has a midwife school. During labor, the only person constantly attending me (besides Uwe) was a sweet, helpful midwife student of about 20. The midwife herself checked in from time to time, and the doctor only appeared for the delivery itself, in which she was assisted by the other women. Despite its old-fashioned appearance, the hospital featured all the latest medical equipment and could accommodate many current birthing fads–a gymnastic ball to sit on during labor, a birthing stool to use during delivery. I avoided the latter, but when it came time to push the baby out, there were no rings for me to grasp or stirrups to place my feet in: I was simply instructed to hook my elbows around my knees and push as hard as I could. Crude, but effective–and fully in keeping with a society that has not yet forgotten the body's power both to heal and to do for itself.
The German focus on what is good for the patient does not necessarily include what it most comfortable. My hospital stays after the births of both my sons showed me in specific detail how this attitude plays itself out. Hours after giving birth the first time around, I was roused from a much-needed sleep at 6:30 a.m. by a woman I came to call the "wake-up nurse." "Guten Morgen," she announced in loud, insistent tones to my four drowsy roommates (several of whom had been awakened twice in the night to nurse their babies) and me, while turning on the harsh overhead light and flinging open the windows to let in the fresh February air.
The wake-up nurse was the first in a series of official visitors who would keep us new mothers from relaxing during the generous hospital recovery periods allowed by German medical insurance (on average, five days after normal births and a week to ten days after cesareans). She was followed by the mineral-water lady, who placed a daily bottle on each mother's bedside stand, and by several hospital workers bearing medication for women with special problems. The wake-up nurse then reappeared carrying our breakfast trays, loaded with healthful foods, which she deposited, with meaningful firmness, on the table opposite our beds. That first morning my next-bed neighbor, a young Albanian woman, took pity on me and brought my breakfast tray over to my bedside table. When the wake-up nurse saw me eating in bed, she warned me in thunderous tones of what would happen to me if I did not get out of it. My uterus would not contract fast enough; my recovery would be delayed: I must exert myself! Something American in me rose up in protest at this unfeeling logic, and I ignored her. Like most of the other new mothers, I had had an episiotomy, and I did not want to sit on a hard chair. The doctors who came every day to examine us proved the wake-up nurse wrong, at least in my case–my uterus was contracting rapidly.
The routine at the hospital had more obviously positive aspects. I was impressed by the astonishingly efficient baby nurses, who cleaned and swaddled their dozens of charges in cloth-diaper packages and tiny suits several times a day, while keeping track of each child's feeding schedule and particular needs and instructing new mothers in nursing techniques. Their experience and efficiency sometimes led them to be patronizing to insecure mothers, but they handled the babies with warmth, even a sense of humor. I was particularly grateful for the conscientious attention they gave Charlie, who, as a slightly premature baby, was under their care for a full two weeks.
I was also impressed with the care we mothers received. Every morning those who had had an episiotomy were scheduled to take a ten-minute sitz bath of healing chamomile. Every afternoon all new mothers received personal, bedside instruction on how to begin to get back into shape. In general, we were not pampered or indulged but told and shown what was good for us.
But there are certainly aspects of being a patient in Germany that I will never enjoy. I doubt, for example, that I will ever learn to feel comfortable in a bottomless state, though with two children born and no others planned, I may experience it less than I did my first few years here. But as I lay in my hospital bed following the birth of Michael, my second son, suffering sharp afterpains without the benefit of a frowned-upon painkiller, I realized that I had learned something from the way Germans practice medicine. I had learned to accept my body's natural processes, and that was an adjustment of which I could be proud.

Charlie Mulgrew refers to it as "a great journey".
He is talking about the progress Celtic have made from losing 3-0 away to SC Braga two years ago to defeating Barcelona at Celtic Park two weeks ago, but he might as well be discussing his own development. That night against Braga, Mulgrew was making his first start since rejoining Celtic, but his return to the club was initially a difficult experience. Now, Mulgrew is lauded and, even if he is used in a variety of positions, he tends to be an integral figure.
He had to readjust, and there were moments of uncertainty. They seem remarkable now, since Mulgrew often plays with aplomb and the supporters have even composed a chant in praise of him. Against Barcelona, Mulgrew played on the left of midfield, but dropped to full-back every time Adam Matthews stepped infield to strengthen the middle of Celtic's defence. The role demanded concentration and discipline from Mulgrew, but the reliability now comes naturally.
Loading article content
There was a time when he succumbed to a more haphazard character. His relationship with Gordon Strachan suffered due to Mulgrew's attitude as a young player at Celtic, and Billy Stark recalls moments of impetuosity during Mulgrew's Scotland Under-21 career, when he was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for taking off his shirt to celebrate a late equaliser against Finland, who then scored a winning goal.
Mulgrew also settled an argument with Ross McCormack about who should take a penalty kick against Slovenia with a game of paper, scissors, stone.
Yet last midweek against Luxembourg, Mulgrew played faultlessly for Scotland, controlling the midfield under Stark's interim management.
"I wasn't too chuffed with that penalty [against Slovenia]," said Stark. "We are always looking for personalities but we missed the penalty. [But] there was a real assurance in his play [against Luxembourg]. You felt he was in control along with Darren [Fletcher] and did dictate the play."
His Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, believes Mulgrew's best position is centre-back, but he is unlikely to play him there. Efetobore Ambrose and Kelvin Wilson will start, if fit, against Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday, but Mulgrew will still be an influential presence. From midfield, he is better able to make use of his delivery of the ball, particularly from wide areas, and his passing range will dictate much of Celtic's ability to counter-attack.
This will be the first time that Celtic and Mulgrew return to Portugal since the Braga defeat, which was comprehensive. As a team, and as an individual, the game against Benfica represents an opportunity to emphasise how much distance has been travelled. Depending on the outcome of Spartak Moscow's game against Barcelona, a score draw in Portugal might be enough to guarantee Celtic's presence in the knockout stages.
"We've improved massively [since Braga]," Mulgrew said. "We're a lot more prepared for that type of challenge. The manager was just new and it was a new team trying to gel together, but he's been here for a couple of years now and you see that on the pitch. It takes a bit of time to settle at a club like Celtic and although I'd been at the club previously, it was all new faces. We've moved on since then. We've got a lot more belief in ourselves."
Qualifying from the group stages was considered unlikely for Lennon's team when the draw was made, but there has been a sophistication to his side in Europe this season. The 2-1 win over Barcelona was reward for tactical astuteness, but also players understanding their roles and the importance of following their instructions. For all that Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster and Tony Watt were acclaimed, the performer who typified Celtic's approach was Kris Commons, since he suppressed his natural attacking instincts to play the same diligent, conscientious role as Mulgrew, on the opposite flank.
Mulgrew says the Celtic players always "had belief" that the team could finish in the top two, but the performance in both games against Barcelona has provided the substance to the squad's confidence. It also presents Celtic with an opportunity to seal their own fate without relying on other sides having to drop points, since a win in Portugal would be enough to put them through.
The game against Benfica will be taxing, since the Portuguese side will approach it as a fixture they must win, but Celtic's defensive stoicism, and ability to strike on the break, will be formidable.
"Because Benfica have to win, it will be our most difficult game in the group," Mulgrew said. "They'll throw everything at us, so we have to be prepared for that and rise to the challenge. It was a great result against Barcelona but we haven't done anything yet. We knew it would be tough, and we'd need a bit of luck and we've had that, but there's still work to be done. We can't just say because we beat Barcelona that we can take anyone on."
Celtic are on the verge of a significant achievement, but the team need to repeat the level of performance that brought them this opportunity.

Near-perfect conditions on the heels of two challenging years had Napa winemakers smiling as the 2012 harvest came to a close. To begin the season, spring bud break went off in perfect conditions, as did flowering and fruit set, setting the stage for a solid crop in terms of quantity. The summer continued with textbook conditions — warm days and cool nights allowing ripening with good flavors, sugars, and acid. Wines are rich, forward, and concentrated with plush, deep, dark fruit.
The ongoing drought played a role, with careful attention to irrigation causing some preliminary worries. Grapes did show some evidence of the stress with smaller, concentrated berries and higher polyphenols in the skins, but in the end these were more a contributing factor to the concentration and excellent quality of the fruit than a reason for concern.
Harvest started with a moderate September followed by a warm spell (with several days over 100°F) at the start of October, four days of rains to close out the month, and overall excellent conditions.
The results from these terrific conditions is a good-sized crop of very high-quality wines that are well-structured and concentrated with deep colors for the reds, slightly higher alcohols from the long ripening, but also in most cases with enough freshness and acidity to balance. Overall, they are wines with enough seductive fruit to be approachable young, but the best should age and develop for a decade and more.
Sauvignon Blanc is most famous as the grape responsible for Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume, two of the most popular and energizing white wines of France. In the eastern portion of the Loire Valley, Sauvignon Blanc (which is often simply referred to as Sauvignon) produces bracing, aromatically pungent wines with strong citrus and gooseberry tones along with grassy and herbal notes, which in extreme cases or underripe vintages can cross over to green or herbaceous. A whiff of what the French call pipi de chat (cat pee) is also present in many Loire Valley Sauvignons; while this element can add a note of complexity in small doses, it can easily become overbearing. The best examples from the Loire Valley display clear mineral nuances and a distinctively dry chalkiness resulting from the limestone-domesticated soil.
Most high-quality Loire Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks or in glass- or enamel-lined concrete tanks to preserve the vibrant, nervy quality of the wines. But some producers like to experiment with barrel fermentation and aging in small, sometimes new barriques -- with mixed and occasionally disastrous results. No other wine-producing region on earth can quite match the Loire Valley for the pungent citric/minerally/grassy style of Sauvignon (New Zealand comes closest), but many have mimicked the oaky style, and much of this latter type of wine seems to miss the point of the variety.
Different from Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, classic Sancerre has always been characterized by vibrancy, steeliness, minerality and pronounced Sauvignon pungency. Its fruit profile tends to the citric, evoking lemon, lime and grapefruit. In riper years, or in the hands of some modernist producers, the wines are riper and rounder, more suggestive of orchard fruits like pear, quince, and apple. Whichever style one prefers, most aficionados agree that Sancerre should always be a wine of elegance, precision, and focus rather than volume and weight.
Most of the best producers are based in the villages of Bue and Verdigny. Chavignol, the other village with exceptional vineyards and a large number of quality-minded producers, is actually an appellation unto itself, and the wines are sometimes labeled as Chavignol rather than Sancerre. Broadly speaking, the wines of Chavignol are more powerful and intense while those of Bue and to a lesser extent Verdigny are more elegant and racy, with a subtle minerality. With rare exceptions, even the best Sancerres benefit only slightly from cellaring and are best drunk within three years of the vintage.
Menetou-Salon, located just southwest of Sancerre, yields firm-edged and very dry wines from limestone-rich soil that tend to be a bit more herbaceous and more solid than Sancerre but often represent good value. (There are also red and rose wines made here from Pinot Noir, as there are in Sancerre, but little is sold into the North American market.) The somewhat warmer Quincy appellation has historically produced rounder, more alcoholic, and less assertively citric wines than Sancerre, but a new generation of growers here is working at making more vibrant, racy wines. The same can be said about Reuilly's white wines from Sauvignon Blanc; this appellation also produces rose and Pinot Noir, most of it consumed in the local market. Farther to the west, the appellation of Touraine, surrounding the city of Tours, is a growing source of competently made and inexpensive Sauvignon (as well as red wines from Gamay, Cot, and Cabernet Franc, and whites from Chenin Blanc.)
Compared to the wines of their more exalted neighbor Sancerre, Pouilly-Fume tends to be richer and a bit fuller-bodied, with greater aromatic pungency. The vineyards here feature more flint in the soil, producing wines that are typically broad, meaty, and less delicate than Sancerre. The most prized vineyards are especially rich in flint, or silex, which the locals claim is responsible for the smoky gunflint aroma that marks classic examples of Pouilly-Fume. As with Sancerre, Pouilly-Fume is usually best consumed during the two or three years following the vintage, before the vibrant fruit begins to fade. Broadly speaking and with the prominent exception of the wines from cult producer Didier Dagueneau, Pouilly-Fume tends to be priced in the North American market at about 20 percent less than most Sancerre, as it does not enjoy quite the same popularity.
Sauvignon Blanc from California ranges in style from minerally, grassy, and citric wines (more akin to examples made in the Loire Valley or New Zealand) to opulent, tropical-fruity wines fermented and aged in barrels and often including a percentage of Semillon a la white Graves. Some of these latter Chardonnay wannabees seem to miss the point of Sauvignon, which is to be refreshing rather than overbearing. In recent years the brisk, citrusy style of Sauvignon has enjoyed steadily growing popularity on restaurant lists, and today there are many new plantings of Sauvignon Blanc in cooler regions -- as opposed to the valley floor of Napa Valley, where Cabernet grapes fetch a higher price anyway. Prices for Sauvignon Blanc have escalated as demand for these wines has grown. (Incidentally, Fume Blanc is used on the label by a number of producers, usually to signify a wine made in a richer barrel-fermented, oak-aged style.)
Although some examples have proven that they can last in a bottle, there's little if anything to be gained by cellaring these wines, and the overwhelming majority of California's Sauvignon Blancs are best consumed in the two or three years following the harvest.

After taking a brief break last time to explore the guided pathways questions session from the AACC Pathways Institute in October, we're back into it with the 15 new Guided Pathways questions, and as you can see above, I've decided to title the paper that follows the completion of these new questions "Guided Pathways Demystified II – The Questions Strike Back".
This month we have three that are focused primarily on the faculty role in guided pathways reform. Student services folks, don't go away – I think these questions and the exploration of them should be very relevant to you too. They are: #14 – Isn't guided pathways the next educational fad? Shouldn't I just wait this out like I have for the past 15-25 years?; #15 – Doesn't faculty workload go up under a guided pathways model?; and #16 – How does a focus on teaching & learning evolve or shift under a guided pathways model, Great, great questions…
#14 – Isn't guided pathways the next educational fad? Shouldn't I just wait this out like I have for the past 15-25 years?
So I had to look back at previous blog posts, because I really thought I'd written on this topic before, but I must be subject to the memory loss that accompanies 90 cities and 250,000 air miles this year, because apparently I haven't! This question comes up quite often in sessions with faculty and front-line staff, and I have to say it makes me really happy every time. The reason for this is that it is only when you hear this type of question that you realize people are thinking – maybe even hoping – that this time it might be different.
My observation on this question is that historically I think many of the people asking it are spot on in their analysis; we've had a variety of movements, there's been dozens of acronyms, lots of Opening Day speeches on how X, Y, or Z will be the next big thing. We could cite lots of examples of this, but out of respect to the good ideas and movements that supported them, we'll keep it anonymous. And, perhaps more importantly, the baseline models, structure and culture of higher education and how it's delivered has remained relatively constant for somewhere between five decades and seven centuries, depending on your educational history frame.
So the question then is, why is this one different? Or maybe even better – how do we make it different? A couple of thoughts here – first is that the guided pathways movement needs to be exactly that – a "movement" and not an "initiative". Ed Bowling, CBD Cadre Lead for North Carolina from Guilford Technical Community College, is fond of saying "Guided pathways is something we're becoming, not something we're doing." This is doubly important, because in addition to placing it in a long-term change process, it also suggests that it can build on a natural evolution from great work that's been already started on most if not all community college campuses. Some may be farther along than others, but nearly everybody has something to build on.
It will require sustained efforts, and a coherent and targeted vision from leadership throughout the organization, but the notion of guided pathways as a framework for this movement is really important. We also need to make sure we continuously emphasize meaningful and authentic engagement throughout the organization, across historical siloes. In the perfect world, guided pathways can be an umbrella or thru-line between a series of perhaps disconnected initiatives, with the four "big ideas" of guided pathways serving as the pillars of the work over time. Of course, only time will tell if we are collectively able to pull this off…
#15 – Doesn't faculty workload go up under a guided pathways model?
So now, as they say, things are getting real. I love this question, because it's a sign that faculty around the country are perking their collective ears up and saying "Hey, this actually might happen." And it's a completely fair question, and here are some thoughts. I'd been saying for a while that there's an important distinction here – between the workload for faculty when guided pathways models are "up and running" and the workload to get the structured pathways developed and in place.
The early guided pathways pioneers don't report that faculty workload goes up when the pathways are implemented; they still teach the same number of courses and are subject to the same outside-the-classroom obligations that are part of whatever their college faculty contract requires. Faculty do report that they might emphasize some historically "outside-the-classroom" topics in their classrooms more often, such as emphasizing the importance of the pathway or program, transfer destinations, progress toward the degree, career exploration, etc. But for the most part it's the same workload per se, primarily focused on teaching in the classroom and creating learning environments that progressively ensure that more students learn the outcomes of their courses and programs.
We should note there that at some colleges the contract requires faculty to do advising; at these institutions, it's likely that a guided pathways reform would actually make this role easier, given that it's easier to advise off a guided pathway than the relative chaos that exists on many student transcripts now. It doesn't mean that advising is easy or less important – in fact I've claimed before that we create "more" of a need for it when we move from drop-in models to required advising models – just that the act of figuring out where a student is and how to advise them to move forward should be more streamlined. It's also possible expectations of faculty advising might shift – likely to provide more professional development to emphasize consistency in the information students receive.
There is absolutely faculty work to get the structured pathways in place – I used to estimate this after some earlier discussions with CBD colleges that this took about 15-20 hours per pathway. More recently, a couple of CBD and AACC Pathways colleges told me it's more like 8-12 hours per pathway, with the variance depending on how much research is done on the general education courses by "program" faculty. Eight to twelve hours is not insignificant, but it does seem to be a reasonable amount when spread out over a 3-month or 6-month period of time given the bet we're placing that the net result of the work will be such a positive catalyst for improving student completion.
#16 - How does a focus on teaching & learning evolve or shift under a guided pathways model?
This is a fascinating question to explore, and while it's true of all of these questions I think it's especially true of this one that there's no clear "right" answer. My guess is that the primary consideration here is the shift that is at the heart of the guided pathways movement – that from focusing on courses to focusing on programs. On the teaching & learning side, I think the most obvious evolutionary step under this umbrella is on the student learning outcome front. And I don't mean the formalistic side of SLO assessment, but rather the more authentic efforts to ensure that students are learning what we have identified as important. Note that this is the 4th pillar that we (the national partners) identified for the guided pathways movement – so we think it's very important.
Clearly, colleges have a very wide range of approaches to SLO assessment at the course, programs and institutional levels, and I think nearly all of them have some value. My take is that it's relatively easy to have a functional course-level SLO assessment paradigm on paper, but it's a lot harder to have it be authentic and produce the changes in approaches and/or pedagogy that leads to increased achievement of students actually learning a given outcome. I'll set aside a decade-long harangue on this topic about how too often accreditation agencies make this worse with reporting requirements that lead to more check-box type compliance models than catalyzing an authentic approach. Well, I guess only partially set it aside.
I think it would be incredibly valuable to focus the teaching & learning conversation increasingly on the program / liberal arts / general education level. At the end of the day, most of us don't remember specific course outcomes from our 2nd year in college or how well we achieved them, but we have a pretty good idea of our skill sets on the more global outcomes of critical thinking, communication, computation, creativity, and the more typically liberal arts type outcomes. Employers tell us they're pretty concerned about it too nearly universally, regardless of where a given job lies on the increasingly blurry blue-collar to white-collar continuum. We've discussed reclaiming the liberal arts outcomes as a key piece of the guided pathways movement (see Guided Pathways Demystified Question #4), and I think that we need to catalyze and evolve conversations about how to define and improve liberal arts. A number of our AACC Guided Pathways colleges such as Lansing CC, CC of Philadelphia, and Western Wyoming CC among others – first individually and hopefully soon collectively – have been exploring the intersection between guided pathways reforms and pedagogy, professional development, SLO assessment and high-impact practices. We think more of this needs to happen…

I had a hard time shortening these stupid pants. First they were way too long. So I had to shorten them, and then they became way too short. Luckily I had room to lengthen them a bit so they're still short, but not as short. They look fine as long as I don't sit down. How on earth do you get pants to look long enough for both sitting and standing without having them drag on the floor either way?

The July numbers continue to show improvement in ZIP codes 85044, 85045 and 85048. July property sales totaled 169, down 3 percent from last month but up 16.6 percent over July of 2012. The median sales price in July was $291,000, up 16.4 percent over the prior year. Currently the medium list price is $345,000, which is down 1 percent over last month and up 30 percent over prior year same month (PYM). July 2013's average sales price was $320,350, up 2.7 percent over last month and up 23.1 percent over PYM. July 2013 sales were at their highest level compared to July of 2012 and 2011. More properties are closing escrow and July's YTD sales of 1,079 are 12 percent ahead of last year's year-to-date of 963 sales.
Inventory climbed 9.1 percent for July to 347 listings over last month's 318 and up 12.7 percent from July of 2012 when inventory was at 308. Market time (DOM) shows how many days the average property is on the market before it sells. The DOM for July was 32, down from 37 days last month and down from 36 days in July of 2012. When DOM lessens, it indicates a trend toward a seller's market. A decrease in DOM and a shorter supply of inventory helps increase the sales price.
The sales price per square foot is a good indicator for the direction of property values. July 2013 selling price per square foot was up 2.1 percent to $143 from $140 last month and $119 in July of last year, which reflects a 20.2 percent increase.
The last indicator of the market is inventory, which includes existing listing and new listings. Currently the Multiple Listing Service shows 175 new listings for July 2013, down -4.4 percent, compared to 183 last month and -6.4 percent from 187 in July of last year. Listings hit a high of 745 listings in October of 2010, when it was definitely a buyer's market.
Inventory continues to stay low and sellers whose homes are priced well have experienced multiple offers in a short period of time. This has enabled them to select the best price, terms and conditions for the sale of their home.
Additionally, interest rates continue to hover between 4.25 and 4.50 percent. These trends continue to be positive and indicate a healthy market for homeowners in the Ahwatukee and Foothills areas.

If you've created only one holiday card, e-mail is a perfect way to send it. But what about those other familial obligations? The incessant: "When do we get a new photo of the kids?" Or "How big is the puppy?" Or "I can't wait to see the new house." Admit it, you've already thought about building a Web page, e-mailing your URL to everyone you know, and then just sitting back and letting the family marvel at your creativity and technical acumen. If you're like me, the only thing stopping you is time. Well, listen up: Some new tools can get your baby photos on the Internet faster than you can get off the telephone when that long-winded cousin of yours calls.
PictraAlbum from Pictra and Photo Creations All-in-One Studio from Creative Wonders let you compile photos into albums and publish them on the Web without any troublesome technical or design machinations. Say you just want to send some snapshots without a lot of cute extras. PictraAlbum is a bare-bones application with a single purpose: organizing your photos into albums. It assumes your pictures are ready to go; just pick one of 14 background styles, drag and drop the digital photo into your album, enter captions, and hit the Publish button. Your vacation album is uploaded to PictraNet. Now you can answer all those eager questions with one URL (www.pictranet.com). You can even password-protect the site if you're worried about those photos of the dog ending up on some bestiality site. You can add new albums or update old ones whenever you want, as long as you don't exceed your allotted storage space limit. 10MB (about 30 photos) costs $49.95 for a year; 30MB bumps it up to $99.95.
If you want something fancier, check out Photo Creations. It'll make cards, banners, and other stuff, but its focus is photo albums. It has ready-made templates for wedding albums, baby books, and the like (complete with themed graphics), but you can also build an album from scratch. Drag your photos into place, type in captions, paste in graphics and clip art, even add sounds (you can record your own or use the ones provided). Piece of cake. Then you can either e-mail your album (a player is automatically attached) or upload it to the Creative Wonders Web site. Unlike with PictraNet, though, displaying your online album here doesn't cost you anything, and there's no limit to how many pictures you can upload.
Do It Up!
But if you really want to impress the gang with your computer savvy (that's right, be proud of your inner dork), build your own Web page. Windows Draw 6from Micrografx has a Web Publishing Wizard that makes it hugely easy to create a site that looks like you hired a professional (it also has an extensive array of image editing and drawing tools). Say you've got a snapshot of you, the family, and the new dog together on your summer camping trip. Start with that, type in a caption for the photo, add a forest background and some outdoorsy clip art, and create buttons that link to other family members' pages. Draw will save the whole business in HTML, letting you review all the links in the process so you know that everything works. All you have to do is upload the creation to your Internet service provider. When some important event happens, just update the Web site, complete with photos. Think of it–you can e-mail your in-laws the URL and never have to mail a photo again.
Of course, your in-laws might ask for reprints of those lovely photos they've seen on your Web page. But the Web can even help you there: Kodak recently launched its Picture Network, and PhotoNet from PictureVision has been around for a while. When you drop off a roll of film, simply check a box on the order envelope asking that your photos be uploaded to the Web. Within a week your newest photos are on the Web, in addition to being developed and printed. You can e-mail your in-laws a photo postcard from the Web, or simply send out the URL, and your family can see the latest picture of the baby and even order the reprints themselves.
Although PhotoNet's basic service (30-day storage) is free and enables you to print photos on things like mouse pads, mugs, and calendars, Kodak Picture Network has some significant features that make it more useful. You can upload your own photographs to your personal site (although you can't get reprints). It's also available through more than 30,000 developers who already use Kodak. PhotoNet, on the other hand, is available only through participating stores (such as Wolf Camera and The Camera Shop).
Old Skool, New Action
Hilariously enough, I had a recent idea given to me by my friend Glenn. He mentioned that a time may come when even you will want to resort to the arcane tactic of actually printing your cards or photo albums. Of course, almost any new ink jet printer turns out crisp color photos, especially if you use glossy paper. But recently there's been a spate of those devices that claim to do everything from scan to fax to copy to print to wash windows. Xerox has just such a device: The Document HomeCentre. It combines a detachable color scanner, a color ink jet printer, and a color copier.
Whoever invented that detachable scanner is right up there with Einstein, as far as I'm concerned. It's great to be able to capture images from bound books and magazines–no need to rip out pages any longer. It captures both photos and text beautifully.
The $499 HomeCentre also does an impressive, if slow, job of printing and copying in color, cranking out one vibrant color page per minute (black and white is four times as fast). Unfortunately, it doesn't do quite as well with printing photos. Even after adjusting all the controls–color intensity, contrast, and so forth–the photos that scanned in so nicely came out fuzzy and discolored. Now, you may be a computer dork, but I'll bet you still have some pride. So you probably don't want to mail distorted copies of your photos. If you really want to print your own photos, I'd recommend investing in a top-quality ink jet printer. .
Here's a warning: Your computer can save you the hours you once spent getting photos developed and mailed. But think twice before you tell everyone how easy it was to build your Web page. You could spend twice as much time handling the deluge of technical calls you'll get from everyone in your family trying to do the same thing. But, hey, at least you'll all have something to talk about at those holiday get-togethers.

We are all smarting from the duplicity of the politicians who rule over us.
The past 10 days have been an eye opener into what goes on in the corridors of power behind our backs. Those comfort letters leading to amnesties for terrorists during the Troubles must be our lowest point. Victims were never likely to get justice with all that in place. We were well and truly hoodwinked.
In fact, since all this was perpetrated by English politicians, how can we ever trust them again? Simply, we can't. Politics is a dirty business and it leads to and has given us a 'dirty peace', to quote Mark Durkan. Which is why I'm thinking, why should Northern Ireland continue to be part of the UK? We have a glorious opportunity to change that. If Scotland votes for annexation from the UK in September, why couldn't we become a province of the new, independent Scotland? I might even write to Alex Salmond to put the idea to him.
After all, a huge percentage of us in Ulster can claim Scottish heritage. I'm descended from Scots Moravians, something my late father was very proud of. According to historians the evidence of archaeology is that most Irish people 'are descended not from Celts but from Mesolithic hunters and fishermen who arrived here around 8,000 BC, possibly from Scotland'. After all, we're less than 20 miles across the sea from the Mull of Kintyre.
Many Catholics here prefer to think they come from a Gaelic or Celtic culture which wouldn't include Scotland. Writing in this newspaper in 1999, leading Ulster archaeologist Richard Warner from the Ulster Museum believed 'the whole Celtic/Irish thing was only invented to make the Irish different from the English. The notion that the Irish, Welsh, Cornish and Scots are ethnically Celtic is rubbish'.
He claimed that it was only in the 18th and 19th centuries that the idea of a common Celtic origin caught on 'as a wellspring of Irish nationalism'. The Celts in fact originally came from Hungary to France and are believed not to have had any significant effect on the Irish gene pool and any Celtic blood lines now will most likely be found among the Germans.
Warner also dismissed as 'rubbish' the belief of many Ulster loyalists that they are ethnically British or ethnically Cruithin.
So who are we really? Is there anything in all this history to suggest we should stick two fingers up to the English after their appalling treatment of our Troubles' victims? We certainly can't go it alone because there isn't enough of us to pay for the NHS. If we really are more Scottish than English, why shouldn't we look to this new state (assuming it becomes independent) and ask them for permission to run up the Saltire since the Union flag is such a source of division here?
I spend holidays in Scotland every year – I even have a kilt – and my home library is full of books of Scottish history. Its aristocracy chased out the country's Queen who, foolishly, then decided to try to take the Throne of England, losing her head in the process. Trouble is it's doubtful if the Scots hate the English enough to sever the link with them. And they probably think Ulster has too many terrorists given get-out-of-jail cards, who, though they hate the English, don't accept their Scottish heritage and could be a source of trouble.
We could be the flowers of the new Scotland, happy to start afresh, leaving the duplicitous English with only the Welsh to boss around. My father would be singing in his grave.

SALT LAKE CITY — What can governors do to avoid having their trade missions to foreign countries seen as just free trips at the public's expense?
That's the question Gov. Gary Herbert posed to his fellow governors attending a National Governors Association panel discussion Saturday on international trade and investment.
"I know there is some controversy with trade missions," Herbert, chairman of the NGA's economic development and commerce committee, said, asking governors what they do "to dispel criticism that you're just taking taxpayer-sponsored junkets?"
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who has traveled to Japan alone during his multiple terms in office, said he hasn't heard many complaints about his travel.
Branstad, who served as Iowa's governor from 1983 through 1999 before running successfully again in 2010, described one brief trip over a Thanksgiving weekend where he spent most of his time standing in a Tokyo supermarket to promote the state's beef.
"You can honestly say to your taxpayers, 'We're working hard for you,' " Branstad said. "The results, especially when you do it again and again, pay off in the long term."
Panelist Lew Cramer, head of the Utah World Trade Center, told the governors that creating personal ties over time with foreign governments is key to attracting business.
"People come where they have relationships," Cramer said. "You can't just have a 'drive-by shooting' relationship with people when you're talking with them about investing a lot of money in your state."
But North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple said he disagreed that repeat trips are necessary. "I've not found we needed lots of groundwork," Dalrymple said. If governors do their research ahead of time, he said, there's no reason deals can't be signed right away.
Herbert, who led a five-day trade mission to China in April, said after the meeting he hasn't been personally criticized for traveling but is aware that taxpayers are watching.
"I know that when I went to China, I was very sensitive about it. I wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't a vacation," Herbert said. "It was hard, hard work."
Derek Miller, Herbert's chief of staff, said the governor made that clear to everyone on the trip that included stops in Beijing and Shanghai. "His message to the staff was, 'This is a working trip.' "
Herbert said during the panel discussion, which was carried live on C-SPAN, that the China trade mission has already generated as much as $60 million in investments in Utah.
The NGA's meeting will continue through Sunday. It's the first to include four Chinese provincial leaders, here as a result of trade missions by Herbert and his predecessor, Jon Huntsman Jr., who stepped down as governor in 2009 to become U.S. ambassador to China.

Darlington County Council gives its county administrator the boot
Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:13:29 GMT —
Darlington County Council voted to fire its County Administrator, Dale Surrett, Monday during its regular scheduled council meeting, according to Council Chairman Wesley Blackwell.
Blackwell said the termination is effective immediately and Surrett is expected to clear out his office Tuesday.
He added Darlington County Economic Development Director Frank Willis has been named as a stand in for Surrett until an interim county administrator is named.
Council voted two weeks ago not to renew Surrett's contract, but wasn't clear on if he would remain on board until his contact was up.
Blackwell said two weeks ago Surrett's firing was because of personal differences with five members of council.
"I think Dale is doing an excellent job. He is very professional and very knowledgeable about county government. And he's done a good job to push Darlington County forward. There were personal differences with five members of council. It's so sad because we should not let a personal difference affect the growth of Darlington County. I think it's certainly a deterrent to what we're trying to do in Darlington County," said Blackwell.
Surrett's salary was a little more than $100,000 a year.
Surrett has been Darlington County Administrator since January 2011.
He was administrator in Oconee County prior to coming to Darlington County.

Note: This article originally appeared on Social Media Examiner. It has been updated to reflect changes that have occurred since it was originally published.
In an earlier article, I talked about the importance of blogging and search engine rankings. A topical blog naturally adds keyword rich posts that increase your chances of rising to the top of the search engine results. However, once you've got the blog up and running, the next thing to do is to start optimizing your posts for the search engines. Although SEO can be overwhelming to the newcomer, once you understand a few basic concepts you'll soon find that it's really not that difficult.
While many think there is some deep dark secret to SEO, it's important to understand that the search engines exist to help users find information. They do this by looking at a web page and quickly determining if the page includes the information the user desires. At it's most basic level, if the web page is a close match, the site returns a high ranking. Once the search engine has found the web page, factors such as quality incoming links affect which site lands at the top of the page.
The first step is to make it easy for the search engines to find you.
Good SEO copy and a search engine optimized website accomplishes three things:
- It is easy for the search engines to read
- It is easy for the target audience to find
- It is easy for the target audience to read
Everything you do to optimize a post or website is based around those three basic concepts. All you're doing when you optimize a website or blog post for the search engines is making it fit those three criteria.
So with that in mind, here are five simple things you can do to optimize your website or blog posts for the search engines:
1) Start with quality content
The first and most important thing you can do is to write a good, informative post that is accessible, easy to read and appeals to your target audience. In the old days of SEO copy writing, web pages were stuffed with keywords to the point that it hurt the actual content. Aside from the fact that the search engines have caught on to keyword stuffing, readers are going to quickly bounce from a page that doesn't provide the information they were seeking.
Information of value to the target audience is also much more likely to attract incoming links. When search engines see other websites linking to a web page, especially if it includes relative content, they determine that the web page holds information of value and moves it up the search engine rankings.
SEO starts once you've got a solid blog post or web copy.
2) Determine targeted keywords
Think like your target audience. What words will they be using to find this post? Once you've written your post, it's important to decide how you want readers to find you. These search terms are your key words. With a well written post, the primary keywords are often obvious. However, there are a number of tools available to help with keyword research. One of the most interesting tools I've found is Google Wheels.
The great thing about Google Wheels is that it gives you an idea of how Google thinks. When you enter a search term, Google returns a "wheel" or web of related terms. You can then click on each of these related terms to create more and more wheels. Using the wheel, you can quickly find related key words that should be included in your post or meta information.
For example, the term, "seo tips" returns a Google Wheel with related terms such as "seo tools," "meta tags," and "search engine optimization tips" — all keywords that occur fairly naturally in this very post. With a little revision and by including these terms in the meta title and descriptions (see below), I can easily include these key words in my optimization. When Google sees a related keywords in all the right places, it can easily determine the information on the page improving the chances that the page will receive a higher search engine return.
To find Google Wheels you need to turn off Google Instant which can be found under the settings options on the top right of the Google search page. Once turned off, expand the left-hand column on the main Google search page and look for "Wonder Wheel."
3) Write strong meta titles and descriptions
Meta titles and descriptions tell both the search engines and the reader what is on the page. The meta title and description are also what shows in the search engine results so it needs to convince readers that they should click through to the website. Good content management systems and and blogging programs include a place for Meta information. In WordPress, premium themes such as Thesis or Studiopress include fields for SEO optimization. You can also use plugins such as the "All in One SEO Pack" which makes it easy to input meta information. Other platforms such as blogger require some basic coding. Whatever platform you use, the meta information is a vital step in optimizing a web page for the search engines.
Good meta descriptions match the content on the page. Primary keywords should appear at the beginning of both the title and description. Title tags are limited to 72 characters and title descriptions approximately 165 chacters. Anything longer will be cut off in the search engine results. While it's acceptable to use a number of keywords in the meta information (as long as it reads well), don't overuse terms. Repeat a keyword more than twice and the search engines may actually penalize you for key word stuffing.
4) Analyze and revise
The next step is to analyze your copy, determine which key words are rising to the top and make appropriate revisions. The problem is, it can be hard to tell which words the search engines will recognize as primary keywords. Fortunately, there are a number of tools available that will analyze a web page and show you primary keywords or keyword density.
Most free tools require you to publish the page before you can run an analysis. SEO Centro's Meta Tag Analyzer provides a detailed analysis of a web page or blog post. It shows the relevance of the meta content to the information on the page, how it will appear in the search engine results and an in-depth key word analysis which includes key word density.
Textalyser.net and Live Keword Analysis allow you to analyze copy and determine selected keyword density before publishing. With both of these tools you'll need to determine the primary keywords based on the density of the term. When looking at keyword density, it is important to keep the density below about 5%. Any higher and you might be penalized for keyword stuffing.
I personally use Scribe for SEO to analyze a web page or post before publishing. Although a premium tool, Scribe will not only make suggestions for revision, it identifies primary and secondary key words and provides tips for moving alternate key words to the primary position. The latest version of Scribe also includes built in key word research and link building tools.
Once you have a clear picture of how the search engines see your page or posts, you can go back and revise to emphasize or change desired keywords.
5) Internal and External Links
It's important to include both internal and external links in your post. Internal links help the search engines index your site, identify primary keywords and can increase the page rank of linked pages. When linking to other pages on your site, it's important to link related keywords instead of terms like "click here." Linking by keyword tells the search engines that there is related content on the linked page.
For example, note the first sentence of this article, "In an earlier article, I talked about the importance of blogging and search engine rankings." A common SEO mistake would be to link to the term "article." However, "article" has little to do with the content on both this page and page to which I'm linking. However, the phrase "blogging and the search engines," includes key terms important to both articles.
External links or links leading to pages outside of your website do a couple of things. Like internal links, external links help the search engines identify important key words. Even more important, they can help create incoming links from other websites. When you link to another site, the blogger or webmaster will usually see a "trackback" or incoming link. If you offer related content, it's possible that your colleague might find information of use on your site and in turn, link to one of your articles. Incoming links from relevant and reputable websites are highly valued by the search engines. Actually, they are probably one of the most important factors when determining search engine ranking.
Just like keywords, you don't want to overuse linking. Too many links and it becomes spam. You also want to be sure that you are linking to quality websites both in the eyes of the search engines and your readers.
6 Optimize the URL
One of the easiest yet most overlooked elements to optimize is the URL. A simple URL which includes a couple of keywords helps the search engine determine what's on the page. URLs such as www.yoursitename.copm/2010/09/12/post143 tell the search engine very little about the topic at hand. A URL such as www.yoursitename.com/seo_tips not only provides two highly targeted keywords for the search engines, it is much easier for your reader to remember when looking for your article.
A real world example:
An analysis of the text up to this point in the article (using Scribe for SEO) shows the following primary keywords coming out of this article:
the search
Not really the words I wanted to highlight. "The search" comes from my repeated use of the term "the search engines." I would much rather see a term such as "search engine optimization tips." It's important to note that when I ran my analysis, my meta information looked like this:
As you can see in the meta information, I've included the term "the search" in both the custom title tag and the meta description. I need to drop "the search" from my meta information so that it reads:
Custom Title Tag – "SEO for Blogs in Six Easy Steps"
Meta Description – "SEO isn't all that complicated. These six easy tips will help you optimize your blog posts."
When I run the analysis again, I can see that "SEO" has become my only primary keyword. I'm not quite happy with that as I want "SEO tips" as my primary keyword so I'm going to change my title tag to read, "Six SEO Tips for Blogs" and change "easy" to "tips" in my meta description so that it reads, "SEO isn't all that Complicated. These six SEO tips will help you optimize your blog posts." Doing so makes both SEO and SEO Tips primary keywords.
In this case, changing the meta worked because I had already come close to my desired keywords through the natural process of writing on the topic. I could also refine even more by going back to my original article and increasing or decreasing the number of times a keyword is written.
Although SEO may seem overwhelming and it may seem like the rules are always changing, remember what I said at the beginning of this article. A well optimized blog post is easy for the search engines to read, it is easy for the target audience to find and it is easy for the target audience to read. If your blog posts and web pages stay true to these three points, you are already way ahead of the SEO game.
What are your favorite SEO tips? Is there an SEO tool you've found valuable in your blogging?

City Council member Urban Stepping down
Tim Urban announced this week he will step down from the Zephyrhills City Council. Urban, 44, plans to move back to his hometown of Brooksville, where he took a job last November as manager of professional development for the Hernando County school district. Urban, a former assistant principal at Zephyrhills High School, said it's important to live in the community in which he serves, and the move eliminates his 45-minute commutes, giving him more time with his family. He will officially announce his resignation at the council meeting Monday night, and it will be effective July 1. "I have mixed feelings about it but I also understand that sometimes in life you have to make difficult decisions and this is one of those times," Urban said Wednesday. "Living and working in and representing the city of Zephyrhills has been a tremendous opportunity and I will miss it." Urban took office in April 2010 after running unopposed for the seat. City Clerk Linda Boan said if more than one candidate qualifies to run for the new vacancy, the city will hold a special election later this year.
Motorcyclist is killed in crash
For the second time in as many days, a motorcycle crash has claimed a life on a Pasco County road. The Florida Highway Patrol was investigating a crash Wednesday evening at U.S. 19 and Beacon Woods Drive. Authorities have not yet released the name of the deceased or the circumstances of the accident. On Tuesday morning, Roderick Shane Napier, 25, of Tarpon Springs, lost control of his Yamaha sports bike when a car started to pull out in front of him on Photonics Drive, outside the Trinity YMCA, FHP said. Napier died at the scene.
Man wounded by shot after dispute
Authorities are searching for the person who shot a 20-year-old man Tuesday night near La Jolla Way and Northwood Palms Road. The victim, whose name has not been released, had just left the scene of an argument at a basketball court in the Northwood subdivision when he was shot in his car about 8:45 p.m., the Pasco County Sheriff's Office said. He was treated for a wound in his side, and was released Wednesday from the hospital. Authorities have not released any further information about the argument or the suspect, saying the case is still under investigation.
Boy in fight uses screwdriver
A 12-year-old boy is accused of stabbing a person in the face with a screwdriver. The fight happened sometime Tuesday in front of a witness, according to a New Port Richey Police Department report. Dixon Purkapile told officers he stabbed the victim and pointed out the screwdriver he used, the report said. Purkapile was arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated battery. Police did not release the age or condition of the victim, Kale Kupsik, or say what prompted the fight.

Transformers Filming Chaos Continues This Weekend
N. Michigan Ave. Closed From Wacker To Ontario
Optimus Prime and that a-hole Megatron continue to tie up traffic in Chicago as they film Transformers 3 here.
But this weekend, they really screw things up downtown by closing down the Mag Mile from Wacker Drive to Ontario. The impact of these street closings will push traffic onto surrounding streets and generally will make driving in this area hellish and chaotic.
Lower Michigan Ave. will also be closed to traffic.
Drivers will be diverted at Ontario St. and detoured to Clark St. Ohio St. will be open to eastbound traffic at Michigan Avenue.
Acording to CDOT Michigan Avenue northbound traffic will be diverted at Randolph Street and detoured to Dearborn Street. Lake St. , Upper East North Water St. and City Front Plaza Dr. all will be open to local traffic only.
These street closings and detours will continue throughout the entire weekend, with both streets re-opening at 5 AM Monday morning.
Check out this super swell, handy dandy Transformers 3 detour map to help plan your driving!!!
Perhaps the best advice we have is to stay the hell away from this part of the city.
Here's a list of other street closings this weekend courtesy of CDOT.
One Response to Transformers Filming Chaos Continues This Weekend
Filming of "Batman v Superman" will close some Loop streets this weekend:

The HTC Sensation was first updated to Android 2.3.4 last month when Vodafone released the update. Since then Three have confirmed the update is coming soon to their network and now O2 have released the update.
Compared to the majority of Android updates 2.3.4 is a minor affair, but it does fix a number of bugs and security flaws which have plagued the operating system. Furthermore, it does enable video calling in Google Talk so its definitely worthwhile downloading.
Like all Android updates you should try and download over a WiFi network or home network rather than using up your mobile data.
The HTC Sensation is a powerful Android smartphone and an even better version will be launching soon. The HTC Sensation XE was announced earlier this month and has a better processor (1.5GHz) and 4GB of onboard memory. However, the flagship feature of the XE is that it comes with Beats By Dre headphones and optimized music playback.
You can download the Android 2.3.4 update for the HTC Sensation from O2 over-the-air right now.
