I had the pride and pleasure of interviewing our friend Andy Cotten from Yahoo Search Marketing Monday on our new online radio show Ecom Experts.
Our discussion went into what type of demographic insights should online retailers be considering.
You have to remember that the person who is looking for the product, may not necessarily be the person who is buying the product.
Every year I tell my children to give me a list of items they want for Christmas. My boys will go online and find the items they are wanting. Then hand over the list to me.
Now let's say that you are selling the item that my 18 year old son wants.
You have the ability to set up your PPC campaigns with premium biddings for mom.
Perhaps you are only spending $0.50 a click on a normal basis.
However, when a woman who is between the ages of 38-58 in Chicago looks for this particular item you want to bid $0.75 or $1.00.
Using the power of demographic settings in your PPC campaigns, you can target customers that you know convert far better than others.
How do you know who converts and who doesn't? By looking at your analytics.
Listen to the entire interview now with Andy Cotten on Ecom Experts.
You will get tons of fantastic last minute holiday search marketing tips!

You may think it is too late to add a wish list to your Yahoo store but it's never too late! This month you may see more traffic in your store than all year round.
Your customers are shopping for their loved ones but see something they want for themselves. Suggest a wish list for next year's Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Birthday or anniversary.
Then market to those customers and remind them you have great products for every occasion.
It's a great way to bring customers back to your website.
We have partnered with Wishlist.com and you can grab yourself a free 15 day trial right now - Might be something worth checking out for your store :)

I know -weird analogy but, isn't that why you love me?
Now onto business!
I get an online chat request.
"Hi. Can you help me with link building? I am getting no traffic from the search engines. I think I need links to my website."
At this point, most companies start selling their services. Man that pisses me off.
Anyway... I asked for the URL.
I clicked on 3 products and immediately found the problem.
I went back to the online chat and explained it like this:
Links to your website are not going to do you any good right now.
It would be like trying to add oil to a car that has no motor.
Right now, your website has no motor and that is why your website is going no where.
You have NO content. Your products have no product descriptions or they have one line sentences that have been supplied by your dropshipper or manufacturer.
If you want your website to go vrooom fast in the search engines and be #1 on race day, you need the most essential piece of the puzzle...
The Motor
Without a motor, your website will not go anywhere.
Take 5 products a day and start adding content. Make sure to add relevant content. Relevancy is your transmission.
You have to have an engine and a transmission for the car to start moving.
Keep working on 5 products a day.
Soon you will be able to get done 10 products a day.
Before you know it, all your products will have great content and your website will be ready to take over the #1 spot.
One of my fave SEO authors, speakers, and guests on Ecom Experts is Rob Snell and you have to check out his PubCon 2009 Slides. Great SEO information!
Also listen to our interview on Ecom Experts - SEO for Ecommerce - great advice in 30 minutes!
Most importantly, quit trying to add oil if you don't have a motor.

I will tell you what day will probably be your biggest day... but first some history.
If you are like me, you probably thought that the biggest online shopping day for the holidays was Cyber Monday.
It was about two years ago that I learned how wrong I was.
You see, the Monday 2 weeks before Christmas is typically the biggest online shopping day.
By this time, people have searched all over and now they are going online to find items they could not find locally.
By this time, they remembered all new folks they have to order for.
By this time, it's panic mode and time to go shopping online.
Mike Ober from Yahoo Small Business was on our new radio show Ecom Experts last week and told us that December 14th will be a big day followed by December 7th.
These are important dates to remember so make sure to plan your marketing efforts accordingly.
In about 2 hours I will be interviewing Linda Bustos from the Get Elastic Blog. We will be discussing:

I look forward to seeing you there!

I have a few tips that will help you to increase sales this holiday season.
Here are my top 5 MUST do's before Cyber Monday hits in 17 days. Yes, 17 days.
1. Listen to our interview with Mike Ober from Yahoo Small Business.
He provided a ton of great tips for increasing your conversion rates. While you are there, check out the other shows as well. They are 30 minutes of pure education.
2. Know your important dates for this holiday season
During my interview with Mike Ober, we learned that Cyber Monday will NOT be the busiest shopping day online. Pay special attention to December 14th which should be your main peak and December 7th will be the 2nd peak day. Plan your advertising and marketing accordingly.
3. Go shopping on your website
This sounds so simple and yet most website owners do not do this simple step. Drop everything you are doing right now and make sure your website works. Do a search for one of your products. Does it come up? How much information is there about the product? Enough to make an informed decision? Can you easily find the add to cart button? When you go through the check out process, is your phone number visible in case you have questions? Do any security warnings come up? Put yourself in the shoes of your customer and make sure everything works like it should!
4. Make sure you join us this Monday at 6:00 PM Eastern for our live radio show.
I will be interviewing Linda Bustos from the Get Elastic Ecommerce Blog. She offers AMAZING advice for ecommerce owners that is spot on. Join us in the chat room so you can ask her any question you have about increasing your conversion rates.
5. Are there any Yahoo Store Add-ons that will help increase your sales?
Do you need help organizing your left navigation bar? Do you need a rotating flash banner on your home page to advertise your top products? Do you want your customers to be able to place their mouse over your images and automatically enlarge? All of these features can easily be added to your Yahoo Store and usually within a few business days. Check out our top features:

In Part 1 of How Long Did it Take Google to Index Our New Post we learned just how quickly Google is grabbing up those blog posts.
In Part 2 we share our secret ingredients.
I am going to forewarn you, what you hear may shock you. What you hear may even make some people disagree.
Naw, it's just following the basics.
First, let's start with the software we use for our blog - Blogger
It's simple, it's easy, and it's very SEO friendly.
I know a lot of people out there love Wordpress. Why shouldn't you? It has so many gadgets and add-ons galore that you can have tons of fun with.
But honestly, do you really need all those gadgets?
Depends. What is the real purpose of your blog?
Are you using your blog as an extension of your website? Are you using your blog as your website? Are you using your blog for SEO purposes?
Our blog is an extension of our website. It is meant to provide updates, information, and news. It's also a great way to let Google know,
"Hey Google, we are alive. We are updating our website often. Please keep us in your thoughts. Thanks!"
Other reasons we love Blogger:
Now, let's talk about Google
Google loves content. More importantly, Google loves FRESH content.
Google is in business just like you and me. Their business is to provide users with the best possible results for their search.
What happens if you do not find the results you are looking for in Google? What happens if Google does not provide you the latest updates and all of the information they provide you is old news?
You leave Google for Bing or Yahoo.
None of us want to lose our customers to the competition and Google is no exception.
So provide Google with what it wants and what it needs. Provide Google with the best content you can. Make it unique. Make it awesome and Google WILL come.
Do you have a high PR? Nope. Our blog has a page rank of 4.
Do you have tons of links to your website? Nope. I think we have 68 links and 99% of those links are from our main website.
What type of feed service do you use? FeedBurner - again owned by Google
What does it come down to then Shawna?
Sorry to disappoint, but it really comes down to making sure you provide great content to Google. It comes down to providing Google consistent content. Keep updating your blog and let Google know that you are providing unique content constantly.
There is no magic pill for Google. Just like there is no magic pill to lose 30 pounds in a month.
It takes time, it takes working on your website every day, and it takes providing Google exactly what they want....
Great content for their users.

So I royally screwed up our webinar Twitter Holiday Backgrounds.
Not only did I put Pacific Time instead of Eastern, I also put that the webinar would be 13 hours long.
Yeah... big screw up for Shawna.
And I do these every Wednesday! You would think I would know better.
So without further ado, we have posted the webinar replay of Twitter Holiday Backgrounds.
You can watch it at:

Now before I tell you the answer that made me drop my jaw to the floor, let me give you a tad bit of history.
Just a few months ago during a weekend event, I made a bet with my mother.
I told her it would take less than an hour for my new blog posting to show up in Google.
I was sweating - it took 58 minutes.
You see, I get a sweet little Google Alert every time 1 Choice 4 Your Store is mentioned. It's a nice way to do your reputation management as well as learn when Google picks up your new pages.
So yesterday I created a new post New Webinar - Create a Holiday Twitter Background.
I published this post at 4:09 PM.
I received my email alert from Google.... 8 MINUTES later!!!
Take a look at the Google alert. It is marked at 4:17pm
I sat there in shock for quite some time. I mean come on... really? Can Google really pick up that blog post in 8 MINUTES!!
So then I thought, well surely it is just in the blogs area. There is no way it is in the main search.
I was wrong.
That was the only word I could come up with. 8 minutes to reach the web.
Then I started looking closer.
If you take a look at the image above, it is marked with the time of 4:27 PM and it states that the page was from 16 minutes ago.
Which means Google came and grabbed that page after 2 MINUTES!!
So how long did it take Google to index our new post?
2 minutes
Want to know our secret sauce for getting Google to index us in 2 minutes flat?
Well my friends... I will give you that recipe tomorrow in Part 2 of How Long Did it Take Google to Index Our New Post :)

If you caught our post Have a Coupon Code? Instructions for adding "See Current Offers" Link, then you have the written directions on how to add the link to your Yahoo Store.
Below you will find a video tutorial helping you to add the See Current Offers link.
by: Shawna Seigel
Sign Up For Our Newsletter | Subscribe to our Blog | Subscribe To Our Radio Show
You are shopping online and you find the product you want. You put the item in your cart and get ready to check out.
Then you see the following:
"If you have a Coupon / Promotional code that can be redeemed from this store, please enter the offer code in the box below."
Wait, I do not have a coupon. Should I have a coupon? Should I search for a coupon? Should I wait to purchase my item until I have a coupon?
Your customers should be focusing on completing the sale and not whether or not they have a coupon.
I interviewed Mike Ober on our weekly show Ecom Experts who provided some AWESOME advice -
Put a link next to the coupon box that says, "See current offers"
Offer your customers a bonus and save the sale!
So let's go into Checkout Manager and create that link in our Yahoo Store!
From the Checkout Manager - Click on Page Configuration
Now make sure that you are on the Shopping Cart tab or if you use a single page check out the tab will be Single-Page Checkout
From here we want to click on the small radio button next to Coupon Code / Promotional Code. Then we will click the Add Button.
For Field Display Name, let's put in something we will remember. I will put in Current Offers Link.
I will also choose Do Not Display Field Name in Checkout.
I have a choice to put the link above or below the section. I will put it at the Bottom of the Section.
For Field Type, I will choose Plain Text so I can put in some basic html for the link to my current offers.
Now I will click Next.
Now let's put in our link.
For Field Id I used CurrentOffers
For the plain text, copy the code below BUT CHANGE MYDOMAIN TO YOUR DOMAIN:
The html code above will open a new window and send your customers to a page called Current Offers. We want the page to open in a new window so that they do not leave the checkout page!
Time to click the Save & Preview button!
Looks awesome :)
But before we can publish, we have to create a page within our store with the id current-offers.
Let's go in store editor.
Make sure you are in advanced editor and click contents.
Then click New
For the id put in current-offers for the type put item. Click Continue.
Now create your Current Offers page and publish. Wait until it has completed and then go back to your store manager and click Publish Order Settings.
After that has finished publishing, go to your website and TEST TEST TEST.
I will have a video tutorial of how to do this in our next post. **Update** Check out the video tutorial on how to add the See Current Offers link to your Yahoo Store
Good luck and if you need help or want us to do it for you... give us a call!
P.S. What type of offers should you have? Listen to our interview with Mike Ober from Yahoo Small Business from some awesome ideas on Ecom Experts

Emarketer published an article entitled, "What's the Best Way to Improve Conversions?"
As we look forward to the upcoming holiday shopping season, I noticed that the top method that was valuable for improving conversion rates was cart abandonment analysis.
On our radio show Monday we discussed an excellent white paper that you could download for free called eCommerce Web Site Performance Today.
So let's take a look into the white paper and find out some of the issues that Forrester Consulting found that could affect cart abandonment.
Check out page 6 of the white paper and we find out why shoppers abandoned the transaction:
The two biggest reasons people are abandoning their cart is for shipping issues. You need to make sure that your shipping policies are clearly stated and are easy for your customer to understand.
Most people are looking for free shipping online. They are willing to pay a few extra dollars in order to avoid paying for shipping.
BUT every store is unique. Every store has their own unique customers. What works for one store may not work for yours. TEST TEST TEST
Remember.... Make the check out process easy, do not make them register, do not ask for more information then what is absolutely necessary, and get the sale!
Want more great tips for increasing conversion rates?
Listen to my interview with CEO and Founder of WolrdwideBrands.com Chris Malta on our new radio show eCom Experts.
Then join us this Monday at 6:00 PM Eastern as Mike Ober from Yahoo Small Business shares his tips for ecommerce success!

Yesterday I had the honor of interviewing CEO and Founder of WolrdwideBrands.com Chris Malta on our new radio show eCom Experts.
Our discussion: Improving the Shopping Experience & Increasing Sales
An article posted in Yahoo Tech News yesterday states,
"U.S. online sales are expected to rise 8 percent this holiday season, with mass market retailers who can offer discounts performing best, according to Forrester Research Inc."
This is great news for online retailers. This news also means that online retailers need to make sure their website is ready for conversions.
Now, let's discuss some other interesting information.
First - download a free copy of the white paper eCommerce Web Site Performance Today.
It is a fascinating study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Akamai Technologies, Inc.
Here are some of the findings:
Imagine yourself in the following scenario:
You head to your local electronics store to purchase an item for your computer that you need right away. You need to get in and get out. You are not sure which item to purchase and there is clearly no help in site. You look for someone to assist you, but they all seem to have disappeared.
You decide on an item anyway and head over to check out. The first thing they ask you is if you belong to their rewards program. When you say no, they try to convince you to join and be a part of the club. You have to sign up and be a member. All you wanted to do was purchase the item and get out of the store.
The next time you need an item from an electronics store, will you go back to the members only store or go find a new store? Will you go find a new store that has placed customer service representatives where you can find them? Will you find a new store that allows you to check out quickly?
Now let's turn this around and think about our own online stores. If a customer needs help, make sure your customer service phone number or links are clearly visible. Make sure the customer can easily find this information without having to search. When the customer finds what they need and they are ready to check out, do not require them to log in or create an account. Get the sale! Then after they have completed the check out process, offer them the opportunity to create an account and save the information.
Want more great tips on improving the customers shopping experience?
Then you have to listen to our show :)
It's only 30 minutes long and you can play it in the background while you work. I guarantee you will learn lots!

MELBOURNE - The Melbourne Rebels are putting their contentious Super Rugby win over the Queensland Reds behind them to focus on fast-tracking new halfback Ben Meehan to meet the NSW Waratahs.
The Rebels pipped the Reds through a last-gasp penalty awarded against Ed O'Donoghue for alleged eye-gouging of Rebels skipper Scott Higginbotham, for which he was subsequently exonerated by a SANZAR judicial hearing on Monday.
Meehan, 21, will make his Super Rugby run-on debut against the Test-stacked Waratahs at AAMI Park on Friday night following serious injuries to both Luke Burgess and Nic Stirzaker.
Burgess fractured his knee during a standout performance at Suncorp but he was getting around Rebels headquarters on Tuesday with barely a limp, prompting hopes of a return before season's end.
Coach Tony McGahan said he had "no thoughts" about O'Donoghue's exoneration and that the side had moved on.
"We've got a few issues with injury so we've got to bed down Ben Meehan and (backup halfback) Josh Holmes, who only came in last week so that's really pressing," he said.
"We've got enough things to be worrying about ourselves and how we prepare for the Waratahs this week."
Meehan has made five appearances off the bench this season and is highly rated after being voted Player's Player of the Australian under-20s side at last year's World Cup.

Giving his address at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) on Wednesday, Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Genba pledged $3 billion in aid from Japan over the next three years to go to developing countries trying to work towards a green economy. With the conference taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Genba called on the other countries present to help contribute in similar ways to create an economy with efficient use of energy and resources.
More than 100 government leaders are present at the conference, working on how to balance economic development and environmental conservation. Ban Ki-moon, the U.N. Secretary-General, said that the world was watching this conference to see if any real action will come of their words, and this opportunity should not be wasted. On Tuesday, the 191 U.N. member-countries reached an agreement on accelerating sustainable development, and Friday, at the Rio+20 conclusion, will see the results presented to Heads of State for adoption.
In Genba's call to other nations for contributions, he commented that Japan's efforts on energy-saving and recycling would also be of use. It could be me, but this seems to be slightly conflicting with Japan's recent behavior. Only now, after the country has suffered through the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, is the government trying to make a real push towards renewable energy sources. They have just approved significant pricing incentives for companies looking to provide energy from sources like solar and wind, and now the country is on the tip of billions of dollars in investment pouring in from companies both inside Japan and out. But right along side those actions, Prime Minister Noda called for a return to the use of nuclear power, even after all 50 of Japan's reactors were ordered to be shutdown after the Fukushima disaster. Despite strong protest from the Japanese public and the governments of other nations, the government has persisted in its choice. I think its great that Japan wants to support developing countries work towards a green economy, but they need to do a better job following their own examples at home.

The Bloomington Plan Commission voted February 24 to fast-track approval for a 35 home subdivision in what is currently an urban forest along the B-Line Trail.
Habitat for Humanity is seeking to develop the wooded area north of downtown between the B-Line and Reverend Ernest D. Butler Park.
Kerry Thompson, the president of Monroe County Habitat for Humanity, said her organization is running out of spaces to build in Bloomington.
"The largest obstacle for Habitat in recent years has been land," Thompson said, "There simply are not enough infill lots remaining in the city of BLoomington to meet the needs of families. There is no affordable home ownership option close to the city center."
The project would require the organization to cut down 64 percent of the trees in the area, which concerned many neighbors who attended the meeting. Some also questioned the high density of the proposed neighborhood and the revelation that soil is contaminated with lead, coal ash and other pollutants.
Marti Crouch, a biologist who lives near the site, said some might undervalue the wooded area in its current state.
"We have very little of that type of diverse native, urban forest in contiguous pieces in our city," Crouch said, "I'm not sure what the definition of infill is, but I'm concerned that if the planning department thinks that every little green space needs to be turned into buildings and structures because that will somehow save outer areas from being developed, I'd like to see some facts on that."
Crouch was referring to comments by local developer Matt Press, who described himself as a proponent of "good urban infill the right way."
Press said denying Habitat this development would just force it to build houses on the outskirts of Bloomington.
"Nothing in the real world happens in a vacuum," Press said, "The homeowners are already here in our community. If we say no to this project they will either continue to live in sub-standard housing or they will move into a new Habitat home, now likely built on a larger lot on the edge of town. That lot, in turn, would displace a market-rate home that will inevitably be built on yet a bigger piece of land on yet another former farm or forest."
One major dispute involved Habitat's request that the commission waive the requirement for a second hearing on the development.
Thompson said the organization wanted to speed up the city's approval process so it could clear the forest by an April 1 deadline.
"Our request was made after we discovered that the Indiana bat could come to roost in the area," Thompson said, "We had no intention to rush this process, in fact we have engaged pretty fully in the public comment process. We build by federal environmental regulations and unfortunately we have never encountered this stipulation for tree-clearing prior to April 1."
Federal guidelines prohibit clearing trees from April through October to prevent disturbing roosting Indiana bats, which are endangered.
But several neighbors said they had just recently heard about Habitat's plans, and they want more time to consider the implications of the new subdivision. Ruth Beasley was one of those neighbors.
"Finally, tonight, I'm getting bits and pieces of what I consider very complicated information," Beasley said, "I want to read the documents for myself before I make a decision. I too have worked on Habitat houses. I love my Habitat neighbors. My daughter's best friend has worked so hard to get her Habitat House. But I feel cheated in time to think, time to talk to my neighbors about what they think and I strongly urge you not to do away with the second hearing."
Despite concerns from neighbors, the commission voted to waive the second hearing and forward the development to the City Council.
The council will hold two meetings on the issue before voting to approve to reject the proposal.

Willie Nelson going back on road
Willie Nelson is getting straight back on the road after he was taken ill at the weekend.
The 79-year-old county music legend was scheduled to perform on Saturday at a private home in Castle Pines Village, Colorado at a benefit for an organisation that provides animal care and shelter in the Denver area.
The host of the fundraiser, Fred Bartlit, told The Denver Post that he was informed that Nelson was taken to the hospital after having trouble breathing.
But representative Elaine Shock said on Monday that Nelson was not hospitalised and is feeling better.
She added that no other concerts will be cancelled. His next performance is scheduled for Tuesday in Dallas.

This seems to come out to as did the limit of (as x approached infinity) But the computer says the answer is NOT 1.
Slip eternal,
You and I must have been working on this problem at the same time. I did it differently
lim [ex+x]9/x
=lim ex(1+(x/ex )]9/x
=lim ex9/x(1+(x/ex )]9/x
=lim e9(1+(x/ex )]9/x
= e9*1
= e9
Extra Little Note:
SlipEternal turned it into a algebraic fraction so she/he could use L'hopital's Rule to solve it.
L'Hôpital's rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To recap, is not defined because is not a number. So, instead, I altered the form so that I could apply L'Hospital's Rule.
lim [ex+x]9/x
I have a slightly different explanation of why you can't just substitute in infinity.
ex+x is infinitely large as x approaches infinity.
9/x is infinitely small as x approaches infinity.
They are not approaching infinity or 0 at the same rate. You have to change the form or it will not be valid.
Using your logic I think you might be tempted to say that
lim [ex]9/x = 1
but you can see that it can be transformed into
lim e9x/x
lim e9
= e9
Think it over, I hope that it will help.

Dyslexia is an often misunderstood disability. Many people believe that persons with Dyslexia see words backwards. The truth is that Dyslexia is not a visual disorder but rather a language disorder.
The reason that letters "move around" is that the individual sounds or phonemes have less value. Below is some information from the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). For more information on Dyslexia please visit their website: www.interdys.org.
What Is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability. Dyslexia refers to a cluster of symptoms, which result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, particularly reading. Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words. Dyslexia affects individuals throughout their lives; however, its impact can change at different stages in a person's life. It is referred to as a learning disability because dyslexia can make it very difficult for a student to succeed academically in the typical instructional environment, and in its more severe forms, will qualify a student for special education, special accommodations, or extra support services.
What Causes Dyslexia?
The exact causes of dyslexia are still not completely clear, but anatomical and brain imagery studies show differences in the way the brain of a dyslexic person develops and functions. Moreover, most people with dyslexia have been found to have problems with identifying the separate speech sounds within a word and/or learning how letters represent those sounds, a key factor in their reading difficulties. Dyslexia is not due to either lack of intelligence or desire to learn; with appropriate teaching methods, dyslexics can learn successfully.
How Widespread Is Dyslexia?
About 13–14% of the school population nationwide has a handicapping condition that qualifies them for special education. Current studies indicate that one-half of all the students who qualify for special education are classified as having a learning disability (LD) (6–7%). About 85% of those LD students have a primary learning disability in reading and language processing. Nevertheless, many more people, perhaps as many as 15–20% of the population as a whole have some of the symptoms of dyslexia, including slow or inaccurate reading, poor spelling, poor writing, or mixing up similar words. Not all of these will qualify for special education, but they are likely to struggle with many aspects of academic learning and are likely to benefit from systematic, explicit, instruction in reading, writing, and language. Dyslexia occurs in people of all backgrounds and intellectual levels. People who are very bright can be dyslexic. They are often capable or even gifted in areas that do not require strong language skills, such as art, computer science, design, drama, electronics, math, mechanics, music, physics, sales, and sports. In addition, dyslexia runs in families; dyslexic parents are very likely to have children who are dyslexic. Some people are identified as dyslexic early in their lives, but for others, their dyslexia goes unidentified until they get older.
How Is Dyslexia Treated?
Dyslexia is a life-long condition. With proper help, many people with dyslexia can learn to read and write well. Early identification and treatment is the key to helping dyslexics achieve in school and in life. Most people with dyslexia need help from a teacher, tutor, or therapist specially trained in using a multisensory, structured language approach. It is important for these individuals to be taught by a systematic and explicit method that involves several senses (hearing, seeing, touching) at the same time. Many individuals with dyslexia need one-on-one help so that they can move forward at their own pace. In addition, students with dyslexia often need a great deal of structured practice and immediate, corrective feedback to develop automatic word recognition skills. When students with dyslexia receive academic therapy outside of school, the therapist should work closely with classroom teachers, special education providers, and other school personnel. Schools can implement academic accommodations and modifications to help dyslexic students succeed. For example, a student with dyslexia can be given extra time to complete tasks, help with taking notes, and work assignments that are modified appropriately. Teachers can give taped tests or allow dyslexic students to use alternative means of assessment. Students can benefit from listening to books on tape and using the computer for text reading programs and for writing. Students may also need help with emotional issues that sometimes arise as a consequence of difficulties in school. Mental health specialists can help students cope with their struggles.

The Minnesota Wild's $98 million signing of free agent defenseman Ryan Suter last July has been called a lot of things. Expensive. Transformative. Smart.
But no one had called it a steal until Wednesday, when Nashville Predators coach Barry Trotz tried to stir up a rivalry with their new Central Division rivals.
"We've got to start new rivalries, like us and Minnesota. They stole Ryan Suter, so I want to kick their butt, plain and simple," Trotz said during an interview with a Nashville radio station.
The Wild and Predators will butt heads often in the new seven-team division that debuts this season. The new rivalry will be joined in Nashville's home opener, the season's third game, on Oct. 8.
The Predators reportedly offered Suter a mere $90 million last year, so he headed north and enjoyed his greatest season as a pro. He was a finalist for the Norris Trophy, emblematic of the league's best defenseman, and made the All-NHL first team for the first time.
Suter also helped lead the Wild to their first playoff berth in five years, though they were eliminated quickly by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks.
The Predators got a little revenge last month, though, by signing away one of the Wild's stars.
"We got Matt Cullen back," Trotz told WPRT-FM in Nashville, referring to the Wild center and Virginia, Minn., native who left as a free agent after three seasons in Minnesota.
Suter, of course, isn't the only NHL figure to make his way from Middle Tennessee to St. Paul. Craig Leipold bought the expansion Predators franchise in 1997. He sold the team 10 years later after incurring $70 million in losses, by his count. He bought the Wild eight months later.

So much going on here today,
with Grace, the Retreats
and being bombarded with miscellaneous business issues.
And to crown it all, (forgive the pun)
I had a tooth out yesterday, and twas not pleasant.
One and a half hours the dentist was swinging
from this blimming tooth.
And did it want to move? Did it heck.
Typical, isn't it. There's one at the front that is so wobbly,
I had to warn him not to lean on it while he was grinding away at the one at the back.
And the one at the back is evidently attached to my collar bone.
Bloody caper.
So consequently, I have been in a bit of a dither today.
Whatever he gave me to numb the gum has knocked me for six.
So I shall just pull a step by step out of the archive this evening, if you don't mind.
The best stamping card I know.
They are delightful.
There are 4 little sets like this.
Fab quality too.
Just enter Artistry on our website...
Anyway, torn paper landscape with our brushes...

Interpretation Request #28
Topic: Waiting on a Condition Errors Relevant Clauses: 184.108.40.206
Clause 126.96.36.199, Waiting on a Condition Error All error conditions, except ETIMEDOUT for pthread_cond_timedwait, are reported by returning EINVAL. One of the error conditions in particular, "the mutex was not owned by the current thread at the time of the call" is an error that would be detected by unlocking the specified mutex prior to waiting. This same error is reported by pthread_mutex_unlock by returning the error EPERM. The standard should not report the same error in different places using different error codes. This error should be reported by returning EPERM for both pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_timedwait.
Interpretation Response
The standard is clear that pthread_cond_timedwait should report EINVAL when the mutex was not owned by the current thread at the time of the call and aconforming implementation must return that value. The interpretations committee believes that this is not what was intended and has referred the issue to the sponsor for consideration.

The news just keeps getting worse for the Sixers regarding starting center Spencer Hawes. At this morning's shootaround it was announced that Hawes is in a walking boot for his strained left Achilles' and that he would wear that for two more weeks. Hawes will also visit Dr. Richard Ferkel from the Southern California Orthopedic Institute during the All-Star break to get a second opinion.
"That's where it is," said coach Doug Collins. "It's been my experience that being around it as I have that when you put a boot on, for every day you have that boot on it's two more (to recover) once you get out. Because your leg will atrophy and you can't do the strength stuff. So they don't want him to do to much on it right now. When you immobilize something and you can't use it, especially as a professional athlete, the atrophy and how quickly things set in are really quick. If Spencer's in this boot for a week or ten days, I would expect him to be out a little while. In a year like this, especially with bigger guys, the healing time and the minute you go play again, I was worried that this was what was going to happen."
Tonight, when the Sixers host the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, it will be the 17th game Hawes has missed this season after missing just one last year. The Sixers (20-10) are 8-8 without Hawes this season.
More on the Mavericks-Sixers matchup to come in a bit...

Zimmerman trial was not about standing ground
Aug. 6, 2013 at 3:06 a.m.
Editor, the Advocate:
The trial of Zimmerman was not about "Stand Your Ground;" it was about self-defense. Zimmerman was defending himself when Trayvon Martin came out of the dark and attacked him. He knocked Zimmerman to the ground and was beating his head into the concrete sidewalk when Zimmerman took the only way out, which was to shoot Martin. I would have done the same. I think anyone in fear for their life would have done the same.
Yes, Zimmerman did follow Martin, but he didn't attack him; Martin attacked Zimmerman. Martin wasn't standing his ground; he was invading someone else's ground.

News orgs repeat but don't check reports of Egyptian necrophilia law
Did you hear that Egypt's Parliament is working on a law that would allow husbands to have sex with their deceased wives?
This idea appeared in an opinion piece published in Al Ahram, Egypt's state newspaper. From there it spread, thanks to the Daily Mail's website and Huffington Post, according to a report in the Christian Science Monitor that says the so-called "farewell intercourse law" is a red herring.
Andrew Sullivan also linked to the Daily Mail story, thus adding credibility to the report. Update: His site has a follow up post that does a good job breaking down the concerns about the Mail story and the supposed legislation.
Many other sites still have reports up about the law that don't include any hedging or updates about claims that it was planted as a way to discredit Egypt's new government.
The Huffington Post has updated its story to note some claim the story is false. Strangely the update only links to the Twitter account of one person, and not to any specific tweet by her. (She previously tweeted that HuffPost would not publish her comments on the story.)
The Daily Mail's story has also been updated, though it still carries a declarative headline: "Outrage as Egypt plans 'farewell intercourse law' so husbands can have sex with DEAD wives up to six hours after their death."
The Mail piece now includes a bit of hedging in the lead: "Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death, local media is claiming."
But that wasn't there when it was published yesterday morning.
"Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death," was how it read.
The story also now includes these details at the bottom of the piece:
Although reported in local media, there are some suggestions from within Egypt that the plans do not exist and were merely seeded by journalists loyal to ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
MailOnline has contacted the Egyptian Embassy and Consulate in London for comment on the claimed proposals, and is yet to receive a reply.
Hopefully some credible information about this legislation, if indeed it exists, will be forthcoming.

Why would anybody buy HP anything? IMHO: they've become a second rate printer-ink vendor. I once owned a really nice HP oscilloscope, but that was 50 years ago, when they made great electronic equipment. Now, I wouldn't buy anything with an HP name on it.
Google this:
Indiana + pi + 1897.
The last time I know of that morons tried to legislate math.
Had they been successful, it would not have ended well.
Certainly not for bicycle or ball bearing manufacturers.
Got a problem with these redlight moneymakers? Take a ride on the Mass. Pike. Everything is now cashless, EZ Pass and license plate readers. Here's what that means when no one is around to take your cash:
1) Passage through the tolls is time stamped.
2) Passage from one to the other is calculated.
3) Your average speed s recorded.
4) In the future ( a year?, 2?) when you get your bill in the mail you'll get your s-p-e-e-d-i-n-g surcharge with it.
5) No more option of avoiding the electronic monitor.
Recipe ( my own personal) for cord cutting:
1. Start out paying $250+ per month for 5-set top boxes and all the premium channels.
2. Purchase 30 foot antenna mast and top quality HD antenna and install (cost
Yes. It is an Orwellian trap. Would be whistleblowers come forward and are awarded a scenic jail term under the Espionage Act - but only after being told they just didn't qualify under the conditions.
Here's a study which methinks has never been done and is long long past due: What is the IQ distribution of examiners at the U.S.P.T.O?
This is just like the old days when they banned Fannie Hill and Henry Miller's works. Every kid managed to somehow get a copy and trade it. That was 60 years ago. No internet, no globalization, just pure motivation.
Don't these people ever realize that censorship - of anything - just never works. It just makes people more curious than ever.
People who don't give encryption a second thought will then give it a third and a fourth. They'll probably use it for the thrill.
Why does everyone believe it WAS hacked? Because someone said so? Could it have been mere face-saving? Or the realization that actually doing so WOULD make everyone less safe but not knowing how to admit that? I'm a bit skeptical. Actually, a lot.

Google "Romania + Typewriters"
without the quotes of course....
Then go read something from Santayana
My name is Pythagoras J. A squared + B squared = C squared is my discovery and I use it to verify that an angle is a right angle [90 degrees]. I'm going to patent the process, because it IS a process, and for the next 17 (?) years if you want to make right angles so that buildings stand straight up ... well you CANT unless you pay me. So there! I own the patent. Mine, Mine, Mine.
What would Darwin have said about a species that allows themselves to be ruled by this absurdity?
Brought to you by the folks who jailed Gandhi because he was an extremist (he differed in opinions), who jailed and tortured peaceful dissidents throughout the ages and who still accept a poorly behaved monarchy as a rightful and proper adornment of their society? Wait until they use the latest face recognition software on the cameras ubiquitous in London to determine who on the street is and is not extreme. Off to the tower?
What we're seeing now is nothing more than the inevitable outcome of 'Brave new World' meets Capitalism. The most profitable creations now are not the steel mills of Carnegie, but the ones and zeros of a Jobs or a Gates. It is only natural that those ones and zeros, formerly not considered worth anything should now assume the status of property. Screwed up? Yes. But predictable. The fact that ones and zeros are little more than knowledge translates to knowledge becoming 'owned property.' Here's where Huxley's classes meet Orwell's 'Big Brother.'
Easy translation: The car you once owned and tuned up now becomes rented by you and illegal to tune up. The corporation owns the car and the process. With less people going to jail for Marijuana, we'll fill the jails with car-modders.
Don't laugh. The stage is being set.
How do you spell P?E?R?J?U?R?Y?
What's next? Is a Lincoln descendant going to lock up the Gettysburg Address? How about a Washington descendant claiming all rights to Washington's Farewell Address? Uh oh! Doesn't some Roosevelt somewhere have the rights for 'Speak softly and carry a big stick?'
Keep locking up history under copyright. Then only the wealthy will get to see it and you can really lay claim to an ignorant populace.
My Goodness!
This will do wonders for their sales numbers. Buy it to ride, but not as an investment? Will this help Lamborghini or Aston Martin numbers?
This case may end up being the first and foreshadow many such outcomes in the future. As minor drug offenders are released from jail or not prosecuted because of marijuana legalization, those very cells will NOT be left empty. The privatization of prisons and continuing failure of the economy to employ its citizens will lead to the need for filling those cells.
Watch as Hollywood presses for the incarceration of file sharers and the government begins to oblige more and more. In this perverse system replacing drug offenders with file sharers will be viewed as a solution.
How does 'War on File Sharing sound? Scary?
I've said for years that you certainly can get a pretty good high school education in America, but you simply have to go to college to find it.
Who on earth are they hiring as patent examiners? Is this like a part time job for a pre-teen?
Do it. But use their exact letter, wording and all, except for the To and the From.
When you get the nastygram send them back BOTH letters.

Major Defect
By Bill on
Vehicle2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewDid a lot or research and test driving, and found the Outback met all my needs as far as comfort, performance,style and supposedly build quality. Shortly after delivery noticed a vibration/shake in the steering wheel at various speeds. Took back to the dealer and they road forced balanced the tires and said that would take care of the problem. It didn't and made it worse at highway speed. Back to the dealer, told them that problem was still there and even worse, car left with them for more testing. Did some research and found numerous complaints about this on NHTSA and on a Subaru Outback forum. I called Subaru and was told that they were aware of problem but as yet had no fix.
Best FeaturesComfortable seats, good stereo, good performance.
Worst FeaturesShould have corrected steering problem for the 2010 models before releasing the 2011's with the same problem. First and last Subaru unless they can correct steering. Will update if and when car gets fixed. 500 miles on the car and 2 trips to the shop. Suggest you wait for a fix before buying.

Cedar has long been a popular choice as a fencing material. Cedar wood is extremely durable, and holds up well to outdoor weather conditions. As such, a cedar fence will generally outlast fences made from softer, less durable wood, such as pine. In addition to its inherent durability, the natural oils present within the wood will help to deter insect damage and rotting.
A cedar fence is quite beautiful, adding to the overall visual appeal of a home's landscape. Natural cedar has an attractive, rustic look, making it an excellent choice for backyard fences. Cedar does not need to be chemically treated, making it a good choice for families who prefer to use natural products. Sealants are also not required in order for cedar to remain durable outdoors. In fact, applying a sealant to cedar is generally not recommended, due to the natural oils in the wood.
A properly installed cedar fence will look great for a long time. Not only will the wood resist the ravages of the weather, but it will also maintain its straight and aligned appearance. Although many types of wood are prone to warping or shrinking over time, cedar tends to retain its shape and size beautifully.
If a cedar fence is not stained, it will gradually weather and fade to a gray color. Although many people truly love the look of weathered cedar, in some cases this natural fading is not desired. In order to avoid this natural fading, the wood can be stained.
It is true that a cedar fence costs more than most other wood fences, but still one of the most affordable fence materials. However, considering how durable and long-lasting cedar can be, it is still a good buy. A cedar fence is a good choice for the homeowner who wants to save money, and doesn't mind a little maintenance in order to keep it in good condition. Sometimes homeowners consider using pressure treated wood for outdoor fences, in order to save on costs. The chemicals applied to pressure treated wood do increase the wood's durability. However, pressure treated wood must be stained and sealed, thus adding to the maintenance required to keep it looking good. Cedar, on the other hand, is a remarkably low maintenance wood.

(This article is the first in a series on the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act of 2014 ("UVTA") , as found at http://goo.gl/kS7MqZ and adopted by the Uniform Law Commission on July 16, 2014. Your author was an American Bar Association Advisor to the Drafting Committee to this Act.)
Our modern law of fraudulent transfers can be traced to Roman Law. When the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I commanded that great compilation or Roman Law known as the Corpus Juris Civilis, or more commonly the Civil Code, the accompanying commentary known as the Institutes of Justinian gave a very detailed treatment of fraudulent transfer law which in substance is little changed from when those Institutes were published in the year 533 A.D.
In the Institutes, we are given the basic concept of a fraudulent transfer as a transfer by a debtor that is meant to defeat the creditors of the debtor. The standard remedy was that the transfer could be avoided by the creditor; that is, treated as if the transfer had never occurred at all, and the transferred asset was still owned by the creditor. However, if the creditor could not be satisfied by unwinding the transaction, then the creditor may obtain a money judgment against the transferee for the value of the asset that was transferred. If the transferee did not know the debtor had outstanding creditors, and the transferee paid equivalent value for the asset, then the transferee had a valid defense against the creditor's action for the fraudulent transfer.
These are the basic concepts of Roman fraudulent transfer law, and are the basic concepts of American fraudulent transfer law as well. In fact, the Romans considered these issues in far more depth than I have just briefly described, such as in holding that if a debtor refused to accept an inheritance so that those assets would not go to his creditors (what we could today call a "disclaimer"), that was not a fraudulent transfer, as is now stated in the probate laws of most states.
It is widely presumed that the American law of fraudulent transfers derives in whole from English law, more particularly the Fraudulent Conveyances Act of 1571, sometimes referred to as the Statute of 13 Elizabeth. There is some truth to that, but only in part.
To understand the issue, we must remember that early English Law derived largely from the unwritten customary laws of the Germanic tribes that invaded or influence England after the departure of the Romans. These laws were largely based on the "common" relationships of persons, so that if a customer (vendee) took an apple from the cart of the seller (vendor), it would be customary to expect that the vendee would pay for it, and the Court would presumably so rule. These customs were not written down anywhere, but were simply expected to be generally known amongst the population. The early English Law Lords were fiercely proud of their "unwritten" legal system, although even by this time English law had largely been reduced to the writings of the Law Lords in their legal opinions, but in law books that were all but impossible for non-lawyers to find. For our purposes, suffice it to say that the customary "Common Law" system (such as it was) of the Germanic tribes evaporated about as quickly as the law became codified by the enactment of written statutes.
While this "Common Law" system worked about as well as any other in the relatively primitive society that was early England, as England came into its own as a merchant nation (recalling Napoleon's snide comment about the "nation of shopkeepers"), the absence of statutory law that everybody could learn and follow became simply unworkable. Proud as they had been that English law had not been reduced to statutes, the English Law Lords finally conceded without so admitting that the economy had outgrown the customary, Common Law system of unwritten law, and England began to transition into the statutory law system that we know today.
Suffice it to say that the English Common Law, from which most of American law presumably derives, borrowed very heavily from Roman Law when it came time for the English to abandon the unwritten customary laws of the Angles, Saxons and Normans, those Germanic tribes that conquered the British Isles and drove out the Romans. Not having a history of statutory law of their own, the English repeatedly plagiarized the Roman Civil Code, though almost routinely denying that they had done so, and often needlessly changing the legal terms that were used so as to disguise their theft.
England was by this time coming into its own as an Empire, and it wouldn't do to openly copy somebody else's laws. Yet, the early English statutory law was a poor mimic of the complex Roman law. One might say that if the Romans wore a Rolex for their law, the English wore a Folex -- a cheap fake. The Law Lords proudly upheld the "common law tradition" of England and repeatedly dissed the Civil Law system as being inferior, while at the same time beginning to codify English law and catch up to the more sophisticated legal regimes that had by then been long used and were familiar on the Continent.
It is here that we must stop and consider that when the English transition to statutory law finally got rolling in the mid-1500s, the extremely detailed and sophisticated Corpus Juris Civilis had been on papyrus for over a millennium. English law had a lot of catching up to do, and needed to do so quickly. The law of fraudulent transfer, which established important collection rights of creditors against wily debtors, was but one body of early English law that needed codification.
The Fraudulent Conveyances Act of 1571 is, when compared to Roman fraudulent transfer law, an almost embarrassingly poor and bare-bones attempt to duplicate the Roman law of fraudulent transfer. It consists of but three verbose paragraphs that sets out that a fraudulent transfer (then called a conveyance) may be avoided by creditors, and little else. It is but the Folex of fraudulent transfer law.
When the North American colonies were settled by the English, they of course largely adopted the English law with which their citizens were already familiar. Thus, the Fraudulent Conveyances Act of 1571 crossed the Atlantic and into what would become American law. However, when the colonies south of Canada finally became fed up with English rule and thus gave birth to the United States, an intense dislike of all things English caused lawmakers (many of whom were educated in the law on the Continent and thus were familiar with Roman law as it had then evolved on the European mainland) to being looking elsewhere for their sources of Roman law.
Not just a few early American lawyers encouraged the broad importation of Civil Law into the State statutes, the most notable being the francophile, and sometimes virulently anti-English, lawyer Thomas Jefferson, who, among other such things, first suggested that the Civil Law concept of the security lien be adopted as a mechanism to fund the building of the District of Columbia, which suggestion was made and then adopted by the Maryland legislature in 1791 -- after which, American law widely adopted the concept of the security lien in stark contrast to English law. Though rarely mentioned in legal texts, this opened the floodgates for what would become the wholesale adoption of the substantive Civil Law into the American legal system, though of course still identified (quite wrongly) as a Common Law system, mostly because the English court procedures and feudal concepts of property were to survive in American courts even if arguably little else did.
Thus it was that as the states began codifying their more sophisticated versions of fraudulent transfer law, they paid some lip-service to the Fraudulent Conveyances Act of 1571, while largely adopting the more sophisticated Roman law into their state codes.
When the Uniform Law Commission adopted what would be the first nationwide codification of fraudulent transfer law in 1918, in the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act (UFCA), the Fraudulent Conveyances Act of 1571 served as the basis for the UFCA. This history is related in the article by Ken Kettering (who was to serve as the Reporter for the 2014 revisions to the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act), in his article "Securitization and its Discontents: The Dynamics of Financial Product Development", 29 Cardozo Law Review 1553 (2008), as found at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1012937
Perhaps the most salient English contribution to fraudulent transfer law was the so-called Badges of Fraud, which is little more than a listing of key circumstances that a court might look to in determining the debtor's true intent (as opposed to his stated intent, which of course will always be innocent) in making a transfer that has the effect of defeating creditors. Those Badges are not found in Roman law, nor were they in the Fraudulent Conveyances Act of 1571.

- Artist: Jill Whitmore
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 10/31/2006
I was singing before I learned to talk, so the story goes...my mother was singing one day, as she always did...(she sang professionally while we were growing up, and still does...)and holding me in her arms as a pre-verbal infant and I mimiked her exactly, and in perfect pitch! Singing and writing have always been two of my greatest joys. I was reciting poetry to my mother also, early on. My sister, mother and I harmonized and sang together constantly, never a day went by when there wasn't music being made in my home. What a fabulous gift to grow up with, and our collaboration vocally as a family was so natural. Needless to say, music and singing has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. Writing these songs and creating this album has been a labor of pure love, of joy, and of the vulnerability of the heart, a collaboration with spirit, with every level of my Being, and with some of the most amazingly gifted musicians on the planet, as far as I'm concerned; Kenny Edwards, Nina Gerber, Vince Chafin to name a few. I have reverence for the creative process, and great respect for the time and attention it takes to birth any creative project. There is so much life experience, joy, beauty, committment, love, and time involved in the CD you are checking out...my hope is that this music touches you as much as the making of it has transformed me! The album delivers honest sentiment through the purity of Jill's soulful vocals and well refined lyrics, tight instrumentals and harmonies, taking the listener on a journey home to the heart of the matter.
