FX trade was largely quiet in N.Y. on Wednesday, as the market prepped itself for Thursday's ECB meeting. There was a brief flurry in EUR-USD when MNI reported ECB sources to have said there would be no rate cut on Thursday, which resulted in a modest euro rally. While the euro has recovered some into the ECB on short covering, we see further upside risk should the Bank indeed keep rates steady. The euro and other major dollar pairings steadied through the afternoon in very light dealings. On the economic front, U.S. leading indicators came in slight better than forecasts, though had little market impact.
EUR-USD motored higher in early trade, as ECB sources told MNI that an ECB rate change was unlikely tomorrow despite the recent inflation dip. EUR rallied from 1.3515 toward 1.3550 on short covering and a stop hunt could be on the cards if 1.3570 deals. The market may react cautiously to the news and coming so close to tomorrow's ECB meeting it may not represent the consensus. However, it does fit in with the view that ECB can afford to wait at least one more month before acting, which would enable it to tie in a policy move when liquidity drops further as banks payback more funds related to LTROs. Later, EUR-USD pulled back to lows near 1.3515. The pairing reportedly ran into strong option related selling interest ahead of 1.3550, which stopped the rally in its tracks. With the market now likely positioned for the ECB, we look for mostly sideways action to prevail into Thursday's European session.
USD-JPY hovered on either side of 98.60, close to the top of the intra-day range. Large option expiries rolled off at 99.00 to 100.00 and there may be better prospects for higher levels. Of course the potential for sustained dollar upside will lie with U.S. data due over the remainder of the week and Fed taper risk. From a flow perspective, option protection since late September could drop off. Outstanding barriers that lie from 99.00 to 100.00 aren't due to expire until late November, reducing the immediate need to hedge gamma and opens up topside risk.
GBP's correction was influenced by technical levels. Cable topped out after failing at October-29 highs at 1.6119 on three occasions on the short-term chart before turning back to 1.6080. The move coincided with a EUR-GBP rebound out of 0.8380 as the cross matched October-3 lows near 0.8378. Economic fundamentals and recent technical studies are favourable for GBP, but U.S. data in the latter part of the week is a potential risk as strong data would support the dollar. Tomorrow's ECB policy announcement is also going to be a challenge for EUR-GBP traders. Most of the recent cross weakness has been on ECB rate cut risk and helped GBP outperform.
CHF edged lower against the EUR and the USD as equity markets in Europe firmed up. EUR-CHF moved up through 1.2320 as the 1.2300 level held in early Europe and USD-CHF found buyers near 0.9100 and is close to 0.9120. Eurozone services PMI provided a modicum of support for the EUR, though momentum was clipped by a weaker than expected Eurozone retail sales release and a reluctance to add risk ahead of tomorrow's ECB policy outcome. Given the data/event risks that are due on Thursday and Friday is seems likely that the CHF will move within a narrow trading band.
USD-CAD remained hemmed in overnight, managing a 1.0459 to 1.0436 trading band. More of the same is likely in order ahead of the ECB meetings and U.S. jobs report on Friday, though the Canadian Ivey PMI helped the CAD marginally. USD-CAD slipped from near 1.0440 to 1.0412 lows before recovering over 1.0420. Bids are in pace at 1.0400 with offers from 1.0460, which should continue to keep things in order ahead of the RCB on Thursday.

When a landscaper heads out on a job in Palo Alto, Calif., there's one thing he'd better not forget. In addition to his equipment, driver's license and gassed-up vehicle, he has to make sure he has his leaf-blower license. Landscapers in this anti-blower city must take a blower etiquette class, pass a written test, carry a license and buy low-noise equipment.
The city's response to blowers may be extreme, but it is par for the course in California. The first state to encourage the widespread use of blowers (during a period of drought in the 1970s, Los Angeles required gardeners to use blowers instead of water to move debris), California has led the charge to limit their use.
"There is irony in encouraging the use and then wanting to regulate them out of existence," says Bill Harley, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), a trade association of U.S. manufacturers of powered lawn and garden maintenance products, components and attachment supplies.
The noisy racket and smoky haze that leaf blowers produce led to the Great Blower Debate of the 1990s, the effects of which are finally beginning to affect the products on the shelves and, ultimately, the landscaper's bottom line.
By generating a powerful stream of air, a leaf blower can move leaves, twigs and yard debris from hard surfaces like lawns, patios, garages and walks. The California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) says blowers have practically supplanted brooms, hoses and rakes in landscape maintenance professionals' toolboxes.
A typical large tree may have 200,000 to 400,000 leaves, according to Iowa State University. Cleaning up all those leaves, particularly in the coming fall months, is no easy chore even with a leaf blower. In fact, the CLCA estimates that it can take five times longer to clean a typical landscape site with a broom and rake than it does with a power blower. That organization's members estimate that their costs would increase about 20 percent if they had to perform the same functions without a leaf blower. They say they could pass along just 31 percent of the increased costs.
Although professional landscapers were originally the primary users of leaf blowers, homeowners have quickly gotten in on the act. About 1.5 million blowers are sold in the United States each year; only one-third is heavy-duty equipment for commercial users while the rest of the market is consumer grade. With dozens of blowers in use on any given block, it didn't take long for the noisy machines to anger neighbors.
"What makes the leaf blower different from all other lawn care products is that there are local rules being developed to limit the use of leaf blowers due to the sound they generate. In some cases, they are even banning them," says Larry Will, retired vice president of engineering for Echo, who consults for the company on blower issues.
Early leaf blowers averaged about 78 decibels, with some machines measuring even louder. The League for the Hard of Hearing reports that noise levels above 85 decibels can harm hearing over time.
"I don't think there is a manufacturer who would say that they don't understand the noise issue," says Harley. "They have all made significant strides in making the equipment quieter and continue to work for additional engineering solutions."
Many new blowers are at or below 65 decibels. For every six decibel reduction, sound intensity is actually reduced by 50 percent. That means many of today's units are four times quieter than older blowers. Typically, 67 to 69 decibels, when measured from a distance of 50 feet, is considered an acceptable noise level in most U.S cities and municipalities.
"As blowers have become much more popular with contractors, complaints by some home owners have prompted regulations related to the limitation of sound levels produced by the leaf blower or limitations for the hours or days of use," says Jay Larsen, Shindaiwa product marketing and communications manager. "These types of regulations are implemented by local municipalities and can vary greatly as to the requirements of the noise ordinance."
Noise may be the main complaint at a local level, but engine emissions are what brought the feds into the blower debate. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), gas-powered garden equipment, which includes more than just leaf blowers, contributed 5 percent of the country's ozone-harming pollutants by 1990. While manufacturers believe the percentage is actually much lower, they do concede that the emissions were a problem.
"The unburned hydrocarbons were of particular concern, as they are mainly responsible for the formation of ozone in the lower atmosphere and are considered to be the primary pollutant created by these small handheld engines," says Martin Maass, manager of engineering and quality reliability for Stihl Inc.
Emission from handheld engines, including those in landscaping equipment, were unregulated until 1990, when the California Air Resources Board (CARB) proposed its Tier I regulations limiting the levels of exhaust that a gas-powered, non-road engine may produce. The regulations reduced the combined limit of ozone-depleting hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of nitrogen (Nox) to 180 grams per brake horsepower hour (g/bhp-hr). Until that time, emissions were as high as 230 g/bhp-hr.
Also in 1990, the federal Clean Air Act gave the EPA authority to enforce non-road emission standards. The EPA's Phase 1 called for a reduction similar to CARB's to take effect nationwide by 1997 for most engines.
These were not drastic measures and manufacturers could meet the changes with minor engine modifications.
The new millennium, however, brought much stricter rules. CARB's Tier II standards, which went into effect in 2000, reduced the emission limit to 54 HC and NOx g/bhp-hr. The EPA's Phase 2 standards include a multi-phase timetable for compliance in which the allowable levels of exhaust are decreased each year between 2002 and 2007. In the end, the federal standards will reduce the emissions limit to 37 HC and NOx g/bhp-hr for most small engines. This means that for the first time, the EPA's emission levels are more stringent than California's.
"The outdoor power equipment industry is now facing what the auto industry was challenged with nearly three decades ago," says Maass.
Manufacturers' challenges related to noise and emissions regulations may seem inconsequential to landscape contractors. The end result of this debate, however, will directly affect how landscape contractors shop, do their jobs and pay their bills.
Blower design must change to meet stringent emissions regulations and to please the noise police. Simple changes are not enough to meet emission requirements. Manufacturers are working on new "clean" machines by improving engine and sound attenuation technology and by creating larger mufflers, rubber-isolated engine mounts, low-smoke oil and more.
Whatever technology manufacturers use to reduce emissions, it is likely to affect the power and price of equipment you will purchase in the coming years. OPEI's Harley says landscape contractors should be aware that the new regulations will inevitably lead to tradeoffs.
"The cost of compliance is high," Harley says. "In order to comply, you may have to sacrifice something in power."
Mark Michaels, Husqvarna's business unit manager for handheld products, puts it another way. "There are two major demand features for backpack blowers: more power and less noise. These two features are diametrically opposed when you try to develop a blower. We believe that improvements can be made to both, but optimizing one will place limitations on achieving the other," Michaels says.
While there will be different types of blowers available than those on the shelves today, there will likely be fewer of them available to choose from in coming years.
"The changing regulatory landscape could somewhat limit the proliferation of models available from manufacturers, so it's only natural to assume that the contractors and superintendents could have a slightly smaller selection of blowers available to them," says Jeff Shetler, manager of government relations for Kawasaki.
Of course the bottom line of blower regulations is that the changes will eventually affect, well, the bottom line.
"Meeting emissions regulations is not an inexpensive proposition — continuing research and development to produce products that meet regulations without compromising performance or engine size is critical," says Maass. "While Stihl attempts to minimize the portion of that expense that is passed on to customers, it is impossible for any manufacturer not to pass on at least some of these costs in some manner."
Becky Mollenkamp is a freelance writer based in Windsor Heights, lowa.
Train yourself and your crew in the effective, safe and courteous use of leaf blowers. Most manufacturers offer information through their Web sites or customer service representatives on the proper way to use their leaf blowers.
"It is not enough to just own a quiet blower to prevent the banning of leaf blowers," says Larry Will, retired vice president of engineering for Echo. "The operator must be made aware of the fact that if he or she uses a leaf blower in an inconsiderate way, someone may still want to limit or ban the use of leaf blowers."
The California Landscape Contractors Association and Outdoor Power Equipment Institute offer these guidelines for blower use:
Wear eye and ear protection and avoid loose clothing, scarves or neck chains when using a blower.
Check the equipment's muffler, air intakes and air filters before operation to make sure they are working properly.
Operate leaf blowers in residential areas only at reasonable hours (check local ordinances for time limit restrictions); never early in the morning, late at night or on Sundays.
Limit the number of leaf blowers being used at once on small residential sites. This will keep the sound generated to a minimum.
Minimize the high-pitched whine by running the blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job. Lower speeds reduce sound and give the operator maximum control. Full throttle is seldom necessary.
Use the full nozzle extension so the air stream is directed close to the ground to minimize dust.
Pay close attention to the generation of dust. In dusty conditions, use mister attachments to slightly dampen surfaces. To clean an excessively dusty area, use a shovel to pick up the large debris and do your final cleanup with water.
Keep debris away from neighbors' yards, the street, vehicles, people or pets. Don't use leaf blowers to move large debris piles from one spot to another.
Clean up after using blowers. Dispose of debris in trash receptacles or haul it away.
Don't wait for complaints to change your behaviors.

On January 15th we asked you for tech-oriented questions we could send to the various presidential candidates, and you responded like mad. The candidates were the exact opposite: not a single one answered emails we sent to their "media inquiry" links or email addresses. Slashdot has more readers than all but a handful of major daily papers, so that's kind of strange. Maybe they figure our votes aren't worth much or that hardly any of us vote. In any case, the Ron Paul campaign finally responded, due to some string-pulling by a Slashdot reader who knows some of Ron Paul's Texas campaign people. Perhaps other Slashdot readers -- like you (hint hint) -- can pull a few strings with some of the other campaigns and get them to communicate with us. Use this email address, please. But first, you'll probably want to read the Ron Paul campaign's answers to your questions (below).
1) Global high tech
In the last year, India and China have both announced and made progress towards implementing their own space programs. How should America respond to such growing technological boldness in such countries? Is it a threat or an opportunity?
Ron Paul campaign:
America should stop subsidizing the defenses of the rest of the world and worry more about its own national security interests, including its interests in a viable space program. As president, I will also work to remove barriers to private space flight.
2) Why Can't I Get a Straight Answer?
I've noticed that a number of candidates (I'm not naming names) and a number of administration officials will not answer a question in a clear and concise fashion. The subject could be anything from "Do you think waterboarding is torture?" to "What will be your stance toward the war in Iraq if you are elected?"
So my question to you is, "Do you think that I want someone in that office (Whichever one it is) who is deliberately attempting to deceive me?"
Even if you don't answer this question, I hope you think about it the next time someone asks you a question.
Ron Paul campaign:
The American people should expect clear and direct answers to their questions. Not only have I always strived to clearly state my position on issues, but my voting record backs up my commitment to the free-market, limited government philosophy I espouse on the campaign trail.
3) Marijuana
I'm a college graduate with a decent job in a technical field. I pay my taxes, my debts are minimal. I get along well with others, and am close to my family. I like to think that I am a good citizen and contribute to society. Yet because I smoke marijuana instead of drinking beer when I come home from work, my government has declared war on me.
My question is this: Do you believe I belong in jail? If so, why? If not, what are you going to do to protect me from being arrested?
Ron Paul campaign:
I oppose federal laws outlawing marijuana and I oppose federal interference with state medical marijuana laws.
4) What do you think about technology?
Can you clarify your policy around fair use of digital media and content? More specifically, can you explain how you will balance the rights of the average citizen to use digital content in "fair use" ways (backups, time-shifting, parody, etc.) with the need for corporations to protect IP investments? With the previous two administrations we have seen an erosion of fair-use rights via the DMCA and copyright extension bills. As President, will your policies tend to favor these trends or reverse them?
Ron Paul campaign:
I favor enforcement of intellectual property rights; however, some of the steps taken to protect these rights impose unreasonable burdens on the consumers and even raise civil liberties concerns. As president, I will seek a balance between the interest of copyright holders and consumers of digital media.
5) What do you think about patents?
People complain about taxes being the main hindrance of innovation, but when someone creates a new product, be it an iPhone or a Blackberry, they aren't looking out for the tax man. The main hindrance to American technological innovation is a patent system that rewards people for sitting on ideas and punishes those who create new products.
It has become an accepted fact that when you create something new, you will likely have to pay companies that had nothing whatsoever to do with your invention, just because they filed a patent while never intending to actually produce or sell anything.
As President, would you fix our broken patent system?
Ron Paul campaign:
Patents have a role to play in encouraging innovation. While I do not have a plan for patent reform yet, I would want to work with Congress to make sure that the US patent system encourages and rewards innovation. Making sure the patent system is fair to small business and entrepreneurs, rewards the actual inventors of a product, and does not tilt the playing field to large corporations will be a priority in my administration's approach to patent law.
--- User Comments ---
Touch of nostalgia. Do you think Ron Paul would pretty much answer the same way today?We have essentially created a "commons" of "free" money in the federal government. We are looting and pillaging it while ignoring the fact that the "free" money is really coming out of our own pockets.
This is what enrages me about the Bush tax cut proposal. It is much the same as if your boss told you he was giving you a raise by letting you charge $1000 more on your own credit card. Are people really that stupid?

College History
Harris-Stowe State University traces its origin back to 1857 when it was founded by the St. Louis Public Schools as a normal school and thus became the first public teacher education institution west of the Mississippi River and the 12th such institution in the United States. The earliest predecessor of Harris-Stowe State University was a normal school established for white students only by the Public School System of the city of St. Louis. This school was later named Harris Teachers College in honor of William Torrey Harris who had been a Superintendent of Instruction in the St. Louis Public Schools and also a United States Commissioner of Education.
The College began offering in-service education for St. Louis white teachers as early as 1906. In 1920, Harris Teachers College became a four-year undergraduate institution authorized to grant a Bachelor of Arts in Education Degree. In 1924, the college received accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Accreditation from other agencies followed, including accreditation by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
A second predecessor institution was Stowe Teachers College, which began in 1890 as a normal school for future black teachers of elementary schools in the city of St. Louis. This normal school was also founded by the St. Louis Public School System and was an extension of Sumner High School. In 1924, the Sumner Normal School became a four-year institution with authority to grant the baccalaureate degree. In 1929, its name was changed to Stowe Teachers College, in honor of the abolitionist and novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe. These two teacher education institutions were merged by the Board of Education of the St. Louis Public Schools in 1954 as the first of several steps to integrate the public schools of St. Louis. The merged institution retained the name Harris Teachers College.
Later, in response to the many requests from alumni of Stowe Teachers College and members of the greater St. Louis community, the Board of Education agreed to restore to the College's name the word "Stowe" and to drop the word "Teachers." In 1979, the General Assembly of the State of Missouri enacted Senate Bill 703 under which Harris-Stowe College became the newest member of the State system of public higher education. The institution's name was again changed by the addition of the word "State" and became officially known as Harris-Stowe State College. In addition to the name change, the College's baccalaureate degree was changed to Bachelor of Science in Education. In compliance with the new state standards and teacher certification requirements, the College's Teacher Education curriculum was modified and three separate Teacher Education majors were approved: Early Childhood Education, Elementary School Education and Middle School/High School Education.
In 1981, the College received state approval for a new degree program — the Bachelor of Science in Urban Education. This program is the only one of its kind at the undergraduate level in the United States and is designed to prepare non-teaching urban education specialists who will be effective in solving the many urban-related problems facing today's urban schools. In 1993, the State Governor signed into law Senate Bill 153, which authorized the College to expand its mission in order to address unmet needs of metropolitan St. Louis in various applied professional disciplines. In response to that authority, Harris-Stowe developed two new baccalaureate degree programs:
•Business Administration, with professional options in Accounting, Management Information Systems, General Business and Marketing;
•Secondary Teacher Education, with subject-matter options in Biology, English, Mathematics and Social Studies.
Finally, on August 25, 2005, by mandate of the State of Missouri, Harris-Stowe State College obtained university status. Today the University hosts collaborative graduate degree programs with Maryville University, the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Webster University. The University continues to expand, adding new campuses and buildings as part of its 21st-century initiative to offer opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students seeking a variety of degrees.
Thus, from its beginnings as two normal schools in the mid and late 19th century to its present status as a state institution of public higher education, Harris-Stowe State University and its predecessor institutions have always been in the forefront of teacher education. Now, with its mission expanded to include other professional disciplines, the University will provide greatly needed additional opportunities to metropolitan St. Louisians in other important fields of endeavor. The University will continue its quest for excellence in all of its offerings and strive even more to meet the complex and demanding challenge of preparing students for effective roles in this region's various professions.

The Lack of Difference Between "What" and "How"
I'm just jotting down my thoughts in response to a conversation at work yesterday. I've realized now that there is a whole category of programmers out there that see a very stark black-and-white distinction between two things:
- What my code does
- How my code works
I don't see that distinction at all. It's fascinating to me to suddenly realize that many people filter their entire view of programming through lenses that separate those two nearly identical concepts into opposite sides of an impermeable divide. It leads me to suddenly understand some of the nagging issues that live in the back of my head, such as:
- How can anyone work toward patents on software without it keeping them up at night riddled with guilt?
- How can anyone disagree that software running on vote-counting machines for government elections should be released into the public domain?
- Why are so many people so worried about whether their code passes tests, but not with whether their tests are testing the right things?
Reading articles from Reddit today, I came across James Golick's statement:
When you explore in your implementation code, you're trying to answer two questions at once: "What should my code do?" and "What's the best way to implement my code's functionality?"
And there's the same thing again.
I'm not saying one way or the other of thinking about programming is "right". I'll be the first to admit that there exists infinitely many ways of writing programs to compute the same function. I just doubt whether it's ever really possible to have a right answer to "what should my code do?" independent of the related question "how should it do that?" Except for small finite sets of possible input, I just don't think we generally have the language for it.

Arguably, "What should my code do?" means "What contract should my code satisfy? What pre- and post-conditions, what invariants?". That seems generally distinct from implementation to me.
From another point of view, I've had project managers hand me PRDs that specified particular algorithms (how) to provide the required functionality (what), and I've had to explain that a) that's not appropriate in a PRD, and b) their algorithm sucks.

Of course there is a difference between 'what' and 'how'. The difference is huge.
Take a simple example of 'what': Write a function sqrt such that 'sqrt(x)*sqrt(x) == x'.
(Ignore numerical problems for the moment.)
It says all about what and nothing about how.
There is a language for expression 'what' (at least for functional requirements), namely predicate logic. The fact that it is hardly used is another matter.

Is It Time to Get Rid of the Constitution?
By Spartacus Thrace
As 2013 dawns across America, the Progressive Movement appears to be at the zenith of their power within the federal government and throughout major sectors of American society and culture. Buttressed by decades-long control or domination of the academy, the theater, the press, labor, and the Democratic Party, the Progressives have fundamentally changed the state of the nation by creating a secular utopian statist path as an alternative to the religious individualistic minimalist government path set down by the Founders two centuries ago and expressed in the obligations of the government to the governed they enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The Declaration has long been treated by many in power as an irrelevant historical relic. The radical notion that the Constitution is a "living document" has gained wide adherence across several parts of the societal spectrum, even among those who hold themselves out as experts on matters of constitutional law. America is now governed by a semi-permanent ruling class, engaged in rampant self-entitlement, seeing itself as separate and apart from — and superior to — the governed. The notions of the American melting pot of disparate peoples and American exceptionalism have been lost to Balkanization of the population along the classic imaginary socialist fault lines of race, ethnicity, gender, and class. The fundamental concept of minimalism — where the power of government is a revocable grant from the governed and the government has only that power and authority necessary to perform the essential duties entrusted to it by the governed — has long been smothered by massive growth in the size, power, and reach of the federal government and the concomitant decrease in individual liberty.

I am only basing this on cost and don't know anything about the school, but I do know that Barry, and pretty much any other school (including Nova), will cost you quite a bit. Good luck. The LSAT's won't be too hard.
RE: The LSAT won't be too hard? And this is based on...?If you're trying to get into FAMU, the LSAT won't be too hard.

The actress will play "a version of herself" in the upcoming 11th season of the sitcom.
Carter won't be the only new face on the show this season - actress Amber Tamblyn has joined the cast as the lesbian daughter of deceased character Charlie Harper, who was played by Charlie Sheen.
Tamblyn will replace Angus T. Jones as a regular on the show. Jones quit at the end of the last season after growing tired of his own TV celebrity.

The City of London Police will pilot a national fraud project which will enable banks to report e-crime.
The force, which covers the capital's financial Square Mile and several hundred international banks, is taking the lead in setting up a national fraud reporting centre.
A spokesperson for the force told GC News that it is currently carrying out "proof of concept trials".
"As lead force for fraud, what we are going to provide is a system to enable members of the public to report fraud and organisations such as the big banks," she said.
The national fraud reporting centre will help tackle a range of offences, including online crimes, including credit card theft, phishing and hacking.
The pilot comes after the National High Tech Crime Unit, set up in April 2001 in response to fears about an increase in online crime, was absorbed into the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA). However, SOCA has been criticised for failing to tackle e-crime as part of its remit.
"We are testing different models and cannot yet give details of what is involved," said the City of London Police spokesperson. "But we are aiming for that system to be up and running by summer 2009."

The fact that still a bulk of the audience use the INTERNET primarily to search for information, gives a fair idea about about the prominence of search engines.
I thought it would be good to take a re-look at some of the very general tips on search engine optimization/search engine visibility for businesses. With the advances in Web 2.0 (social apps), the dynamics of search engines have changed a lot but in my opinion, the plain old fact that a lot of your customers are searching for you online, still remains the same. Today, the search engine optimization activity needs to be integrated very tightly with the overall goals of your business.
SEO Definition: SEO aka Search engine optimization is a set of activities which when executed correctly, help your website to rank better for specific keyword queries on search engines.
A broader set of activities are associated with SEO (Planning, Objectives, Strategy, Execution, Metrics), but just to get started, you can break-down an SEO project into smaller parts with further diversification at subsequent stages.
What do I want from SEO
For a lot of people search engine optimization is nothing more than getting into the top '10' rankings on Google.This is a classic case, because 'Rankings' are just a part of SEO and scaling up can be very hard for a new business during the initial stages. So before jumping on and saying, I want more traffic & higher rankings qualify your goals and try to be as clear as possible.
e.g. of a goal – I want to increase my sales leads through web-traffic. If you're very specific, further classification would mean I want to increase my sales leads by 20% in the next 4 months.
With this as an input, you can now plan your search engine optimization activities in the appropriate direction. Continue reading

The One Story Workshops
Posted by c2london in Inspiration, Short Stories, Writing on February 28, 2016
Shortly after the WFWA workshop ended, I started the first of three One Story workshops. The first, Write a Short Story with Hannah Tinti presented a method to write a complete short story in a few days. It was fun, although I think it might have worked better if you had characters or a situation in mind before you started. I did end up with a complete but short piece, although I'm not sure how much I really like it.
For me, the platform the class used was a bit overwhelming. I have no idea how many people were taking this class. People posted the new bits of their story and others commented, but this seemed to be a jumble, with so many storylines and so many people, it was hard to keep track whose character was in which story. Eventually I more or less randomly chose a few participants to focus on. If others were kind enough to comment on my submissions, I returned the favor. This soon narrowed the number of people I was following to a more reasonable number, although it was still a jumble with no real flow that I could determine.
I did figure out a few other "tricks." To get your submission to appear near the top of the list, it was good to comment on everyone's comment, even if only to thank them. Eventually I also figure out there was a way to mark all the comments you had read so you could see what was new. And of course, the best way to get others to comment was to comment on their submissions.
The next class was Become Your Own Best Editor where the participants read an initial submission, subsequent editorial comments and the changes the author made to the piece up through the final printed version. There were probably fewer participants in this class and in this case it wasn't quite as necessary to keep the continuity with who said what where. My personal take-away was I really don't want to be an editor because I was bored rereading the same story over and over. Hannah Tinti and the other editor involved both made insightful comments that apply to most any story rewrite. This workshop has been offered using a different story published in One Story with a different editor so could be taken a second time.
From Character to Story:A Craft Intensive with Editor Patrick Ryan also offered some useful tips. By this time I was familiar with a number of the other participants and it was easy to look for them and read their comments.
The next offering from One Story starts on March 11, My Evil Twin is an Editor, or What the Soaps Taught Me About Writing.
These classes have varied in their helpfulness, but are good for connecting with other writers. Probably which class you'd find most insightful would depend on where you are in your writing career. It should be noted that many known names and people with much success enroll in these courses as well as people who have not written much.
I'm not wild about the platform and the number of participants, but if chaos doesn't bother you or you don't want to interact, these may work equally well for you. For some people the amount of work/number of lessons in a short period of time can be difficult, too.

Exploratory Data Analysis – Kernel Density Estimation and Rug Plots in R on Ozone Data in New York and Ozonopolis
June 30, 2013 6 Comments
Update on July 15, 2013:
Thanks to Harlan Nelson for noting on AnalyticBridge that the ozone concentrations for both New York and Ozonopolis are non-negative quantities, so their kernel density plot should have non-negative support sets. This has been corrected in this post by
– defining new variables called max.ozone and max.ozone2
– using the options "from = 0" and "to = max.ozone" or "to = max.ozone2" in the density() function when defining density.ozone and density.ozone2 in the R code.
Update on February 2, 2014:
Harlan also noted in the above comment that any truncated kernel density estimator (KDE) from density() in R does not integrate to 1 over its support set. Thanks to Julian Richer Daily for suggesting on AnalyticBridge to scale any truncated kernel density estimator (KDE) from density() by its integral to get a KDE that integrates to 1 over its support set. I have used my own function for trapezoidal integration to do so, and this has been added below.
I thank everyone for your patience while I took the time to write a post about numerical integration before posting this correction. I was in the process of moving between jobs and cities when Harlan first brought this issue to my attention, and I had also been planning a major expansion of this blog since then. I am glad that I have finally started a series on numerical integration to provide the conceptual background for the correction of this error, and I hope that they are helpful. I recognize that this is a rather late correction, and I apologize for any confusion.
For the sake of brevity, this post has been created from the second half of a previous long post on kernel density estimation. This second half focuses on constructing kernel density plots and rug plots in R. The first half focused on the conceptual foundations of kernel density estimation.
This post follows the recent introduction of the conceptual foundations of kernel density estimation. It uses the "Ozone" data from the built-in "airquality" data set in R and the previously simulated ozone data for the fictitious city of "Ozonopolis" to illustrate how to construct kernel density plots in R. It also introduces rug plots, shows how they can complement kernel density plots, and shows how to construct them in R.
This is another post in a recent series on exploratory data analysis, which has included posts on descriptive statistics, box plots, violin plots, the conceptual foundations of empirical cumulative distribution functions (CDFs), and how to plot empirical CDFs in R.
Read the rest of this post to learn how to create the above combination of a kernel density plot and a rug plot!

We're sorry, but we currently have no tickets available for this event.
Katy Perry Ticket Information
It took just one iconic song, 2008's "I Kissed a Girl," to turn California native Katy Perry into one of the most in-demand pop stars in the world. Little did the music industry know, Perry was only just getting started, as she ultimately became known by her penchant for producing a steady stream of massively successful singles, a talent that eventually earned her the distinction of becoming the first female solo artist to have an album yield five No. 1 singles. While "One of the Boys" contained the aforementioned "I Kissed a Girl," plus the popular "Waking Up in Vegas" and "Hot n Cold," it was 2010's "Teenage Dream" that further helped propel the multi-Platinum-selling singer to the top of the pop charts. Equipped with one of the most extensive song catalogs around, be sure to reserve your Katy Perry tickets from Vivid Seats to be in the crowd for live renditions of hits like "Firework," "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," and "Roar," among many others. Check out the Katy Perry tour schedule above for upcoming dates, and for help at any time, just give us a call at 866.848.8499 or connect via Live Chat.

Katy Perry Tours
Katy Perry's career as a pop star has centered on the success of her live shows. Perry's first major concert venture, the 2009 Hello Katy Tour, was internationally acclaimed for her live renditions of early hits, like her then-frequent set-closer, "I Kissed a Girl." The next major Katy Perry tour, 2011-12's California Dreams, introduced a large-scale production with a narrative pushed along by pre-recorded videos. The tour was brought to life with candy-themed backdrops a la her "California Gurls" music video, more costumes, dancers, and explosive performances of No. 1 singles like "Firework" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)."
The Prismatic World Tour, held in 2014-15, was the biggest Katy Perry concert venture to date, featuring even more intense sets and six international legs. During this live tour, Perry incorporated new favorite songs like "Dark Horse" and "Birthday" into almost every setlist, but she also kept in staples like "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot N Cold."

Since this imaginative pop star changes her concert formula every time she goes on tour, fans are guaranteed to see something new on stage, whether it's a new interactive costume or a unique live interpretation of one of the older Katy Perry songs.
Fans also love to watch Katy Perry live so they can listen to the award-winning singer's voice in person. One of the strongest vocal powers in today's pop music, Perry delivers the same level of excellence when she sings in concert.
One of the most exciting reveals of every Katy Perry tour is the star's stage wardrobe. Every time she goes on the road, the California native brings a closet full of impressive costumes. On occasion she even wears designs by fashion icons like Valentino and Roberto Cavalli. Some of the most memorable Katy Perry costumes from the road have included a pink leopard-print catsuit, a dress adorned with spinning peppermints, a Hershey's Kisses bra, a giant yin-yang dress, and an Egyptian headdress.

Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 full review
Back up falls into two distinct categories: backing up files, so your personal information is protected, and backing up the system, so your PC is protected. Most new back-up utilities cover both, and this is the case with Paragon Backup & Recovery 11. Paragon has made a system backup utility for many years but the last couple of versions have included file backup and scheduling, too.
The control screen of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 looks more like Paragon's Paragon Hard Disk Manager 11 Pro, of which it's a cut-down version. This can look a little daunting at first, but the main tabbed panel is pretty straightforward, offering views of the selected drive, scheduled backups, archives already created and the help system.
Help text could use proofing by a native English speaker, as in places it obscures as much as explains, but it does cover all of Paragon Backup & Recovery 11's many facets, so it's worth persevering with.
To simplify backup creation, which can be quite a complex process, Paragon has embedded in Backup & Recovery 11 a comprehensive set of Wizards, which pop up automatically for many of day-to-day tasks. Setting up a backup is simply a question of selecting what to back up (whole partition, media, documents, email), where to back them up (local, network or online drive) and when to do it (manually or scheduled).
Although backups are combined and compressed into a single backup archive, you can examine the folder tree within it and recover individual files easily; you don't have to recover the whole archive. Backing up a 30GB system partition with Paragon Backup & Recovery 11 took 35 minutes, around twice as long as Acronis True Image, the market leader.
See also: Group test: what's the best backup software?
During this process, the progress bar flicked up from 3 minutes or so to 6 hours plus part way through, so wasn't much use as a measure. The backup was performed from within Windows, though and can be performed in the background, which is more convenient than having to use a separate Linux environment in idle time.
Key new features of version 11 are support for Solid State Drives (SSDs), increasing found in portable PCs of various shades and in some gaming machines, and the ability to work with drives of over 2TB, which is likely to be more important in machines working with a lot of media, particularly video.Backup & Recovery 11 uses the WinPE 3.0 recovery environment, based on the Windows 7 kernel, so when running from the program's recovery disk, you have a very similar interface to Windows' own.
More related articles:
This isn't just about aesthetics, as it also means the program is generally better at working with the hardware it's likely to find in a modern PC.
Paragon includes its Adaptive Restore 3.0 utility in this version, so it should be better at restoring a Windows system to a different machine from the one the backup was made on. There's quite a web of qualification to this process, though, as you have to have a retail version of Windows, where the licence permits reinstallation from one machine to another, and to be able to show Adaptive Restore where it can find the necessary hardware drivers for the new installation.
Paragon Backup & Recovery 11: Specs
- Windows 2000 SP4/XP/Vista/7, 32/64 bit from Win XP Pro on, 256MB RAM, 250MB HD
