You are a Blogger (or site owner, marketing specialist or SEO specialist) and you need traffic on your site. But how you can do it? Are there any tips and tricks? Can you use enterprise SEO services to boost your organic rankings and improve your business? Or maybe you should use tools, SEO tools, for getting tons of traffic?
Below I'll describe you five SEO tools, which I use. Some of them are totally free, and some of them are really expensive. You must choose, what is best for you.
1. Alexa
Alexa is an online tool for basic website analytics. It's based on huge database with relevant information and statistics about webpages.
Thanks to Alexa, you can very fast find out general traffic stats, what is an audience of the website (male/female, age, education, etc.), major sites, which are linking to your site.
The interesting thing is here a short overview, on top queries from search engines.
For example for Bloggers.com, most important three keywords are:
- Bloggers
- Top technology blogs in Nigeria
- Bloggers.com
Beside this, Alexa will show you Top 500 sites (worldwide, grouped by country or grouped by category).
Last interesting feature from Alexa is Alexa Toolbar, which can help you learn some statistics, related links and other things about browsed pages. It's a plugin for your browser.
2. Google Keyword Tool
Google Keyword Tool is a totally free tool for finding keywords prepared by Google.
You can find keywords based on one or more words (or phrases). Important thing is to mark tick on Exact match, to find only specific keyword. Google Keyword tool doesn't have a lot of options, but is simple – so I like it 🙂
Here you can read my article How to find best keywords for your blog or website using Google Keyword Tool or Market Samurai (the next tool, I'll describe for you)
3. Market Samurai
Market Samurai is another tool, for finding best keywords for your site and analyze your competition
It let you:
- Find best keywords for your sites
- Analyze your competition on specific keywords (it analyzes most important factors for pages, which are in top #10 in SERPs, of course for your keyword(s))
- Find proper domain name for you
- Find content among Wikipedia, Ezine Articles, Google News, etc
- Help you find affiliates programs for you (Amazon, ClickBank, Commision Junction)
There is a lot more functions of this great tool, but personally I use it mainly for analyzing my competition, research keywords for me, and find appropriate domains (for example I find my domain nopassiveincome.com thanks to Market Samurai 🙂 ).
Market Samurai isn't free tool. Paid version cost normally 149$ (it's not cheap), but it is worth each cent I spent on it.
Here you can download free trial (12 days trial with some limitation). If you buy it during five days since downloading, you will get your Market Samurai only for 97$
4. SEMRush
SEMRush is a tool for analyzing organic keywords, competitors in organic search, AdWords keywords and a lot more. You can check it for ten Google databases (for instance for US, UK, DE, IT) and for Bing
For example, using free report for the website bloggers.com, we can get following results:
You can read (from the first table and first line), that most important keyword for organic search is bloggers. Bloggers.com is on 2nd position in SEPRs and this keyword generate 14,36% of organic traffic.
From second table (ads keywords) we find out, that bloggers.com doesn't pay for ads.
And the last table (on the screen) show us, that major competitors for Bloggers.com are (in organic search):
Youtube.com (1718 common keywords)
Zimbio.com (1088 common keywords) and
Facebook.com (987 common keywords)
Of course SEMRush offers a lot of others helpful reports – information about potential ads/traffic buyers or sellers, estimated traffic to specified site or backlinks report.
Using free version, you can generate only five reports a day, what's much to less, even for bloggers 😉
Paid version of SEMRush cost monthly from 69.95$ (Pro recurring version) to 499$ (Enterprise version)
5. Majestic SEO
Majestic SEO is a last tool, I want to describe today.
It's a tool mainly for analyzing your (and your competitor) backlinks, top pages, etc.
With this tool, you can also check backlink history and neighbourhood of your domain.
Three days ago Majestic SEO launched two new metrics related with link profile – trust flow and citation flow. I plan to test it in the future, but now I couldn't tell you anything more about these features.
For getting some details about your site, you must login in to the website (so firstly you must sign up to it.
It's free of charge, if you don't need in-depth analysis and you need it only for your site. For professionals there are three paid plans: Silver, Gold and Platinum (49.99$, 149,99$ and 399,99$)
And how about you – do you use some SEO tools for making your life easier? Or maybe there are some other tools, which are valuable for mention?
Disclosure – please note, that some of the links above are affiliate links and I earn a commission, when you buy something via them.

The three games that the Houston Dynamo faced in eight days last week could not have been more different.
They started with a 10 p.m. CT kickoff on Sunday night against the two-time defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy. After earning a hard-fought 1-0 win at the Home Depot Center - their first road win over the Galaxy since September 2007 - they traveled across the country for a Wednesday night match against D.C. United. The Dynamo dispatched last-place United with a 4-0 victory behind a two goal, two assist performance from MLS Player of the Week Will Bruin.
From there, things did not get any easier for Houston, as they traveled back to the cozy confines of BBVA Compass Stadium to take on the two-time defending regular season Eastern Conference champion Sporting KC. After holding the visitors as bay for 72 minutes, Sporting got the one goal they would need to end the Dynamo's historic run at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Despite six points from a possible nine games in eight days, the voters at MLSsoccer.com kept the Dynamo in the No. 6 spot in their weekly power rankings. Here is what Armchair Analyst Matt Doyle had to say about Houston:
Smashed D.C. midweek – as any good, healthy team should – then finally saw their 36-game unbeaten run come to an end against Sporting. What's it mean? Simple: The Dynamo are still a few pieces short (Omar Cummings, please get well!) of the team we thought they'd be.
Over at ESPN.com, the Dynamo impressed Jeff Carlisle enough that the veteran soccer writer moved Houston up one spot to No. 6 in his ranking. Carlisle wrote:
The home unbeaten streak is dead at 30 league games, but the Dynamo are very much alive in the Eastern Conference thanks to their win over D.C. United. A question going forward is whether Giles Barnes' injury means the team will persist with a 4-3-3.
Lastly, we head over SI.com, where Avi Creditor - who had a front-row seat for Houston's win over United - marveled at the Dynamo's 2011 draft class of Will Bruin and Kofi Sarkodie and kept the Dynamo in the No. 3 spot in his rankings. Creditor wrote:
How about the Dynamo's 2011 draft class? First-round picks Will Bruin and Kofi Sarkodie continue to blossom. Sarkodie, he of the double goal-line block in D.C., has especially taken extra strides in a full-time starting role at right back this season. The club having its home unbeaten streak snapped at 36 is certainly a minor setback, but after playing three games in eight days in Los Angeles, D.C. and Houston, perhaps the rigorous schedule was too much to overcome.
The Dynamo will have little time to think about their first home loss in almost two years. Houston will host the New England Revolution Saturday night at BBVA Compass Stadium. Tickets are available and can be purchased at HoustonDynamo.com/Tickets or by calling (713) 276-GOAL.

Being a fictional British secret agent has its perks — an Aston Martin, unlimited martinis, a license to pun, and of course, an endless array of gadgets from Q. If you want to get geared up like a make-believe spy but are operating on a real-life budget, Division Furtive is the quartermaster for the creative class.
Division Furtive is a one-man gizmo operation created by Gabriel Ménard, a hardware engineer from Montreal. He started his career developing PCBs and other hardware for clients like Best Buy, but dreamed of creating products that demonstrate his eye for design.
His first product, the Type 40 wrist watch, attempts to capture the showy elegance of ultra-high-end timepieces befitting a secret intelligence officer, but at a bargain price. And with the campaign for the 40, he is also teasing the Type 46, an even fancier option for the Casino Royale set. In both cases, Ménard has developed cool, showcase designs that virtualize functionality that is costly and physical, such as replacing complex watch mechanics with microprocessors and micro-stepper motors.
The Type 40 displays time linearly with a series of amber LEDs, but can't be set by human hands. Instead, the watch is set by placing it on the face of a smartphone, tablet, or computer screen where the watch's built-in light sensor interpret a series of flashing lights produced by a companion app. The watch is automatically calibrated and can even account for daylight saving time. It's an experience worthy of a spy movie, but also carries the risk on inducing an epileptic seizure.
The timepiece is limited to 1,000 Kickstarted units, the serial number of each physically built into the 3-D printed casing of the watch. Backers will be able to claim a serial number of their choosing via the Division Furtive website by entering a special code. Fair warning: To get a "00" number, backers will need to pay a premium.
As innovative as the timepiece's mechanics are, they come at a cost: size. The watch's 50 mm diameter is large but manageable, but at 16 mm, it's thicker than two iPhone 5's stacked on your wrist, which will make covert activities challenging. It's powered by a AAA battery (hence the girth), which is said to cover a year of standby time.
If the Type 40's campaign succeeds, it will enable Ménard to finish development on the Type 46, which features the same linear approach to displaying time, but does so with cool mechanical cursors instead of LED lights. Making the watch even cooler is an accelerometer that can detect when the wearer has their wrist at a 45-degree angle, activating the cursors and displaying the time.
The watch will be the same size as its predecessor but will cost significantly more, at $3,600. The premium cost comes from the additional components and lengthy development cycle. Ménard has gone through five iterations of the design so far, saying "it was very challenging to keep the linear cursor balanced — just to make the proof of concept took me a year. The last challenge I have to face is reliability — when the cursor gets to one end or the other it can be chaotic. It's reliable now, but I need to make it pristine."
Instead of a 3-D printed case, the Type 46 features a silver housing coated in black Rhodium and nano-ceramics which are baked in an industrial kiln for a high-quality finish. He says "over a month of my life was spent finding a coating for this watch."
In accordance with Kickstarter's new guidelines, the Type 46 is not offered as a backer reward — instead, would-be Bonds will need to pony up £46 to receive a pre-order token that allows them to purchase it later.
Playing along with the theme, Kickstarter launched Ménard's campaign in the U.K. today at 00:07. Ménard is proud to be one of the early adopters of Kickstarter's newest location. He says there are some financial reasons for this, but also that "James Bond is British. I like the feeling of using the British Pounds for pledges."

When an older woman becomes pregnant, there are always a lot of concerns. Will the baby be born healthy? Will the labor be difficult? In Ryan Andrews' short and sweet webcomic Sarah and the Seed, a woman's pregnancy results in something her husband never thought to worry about: a giant seed.
Sarah and the Seed is a self-contained webcomic in five parts that explores the fears of pregnancy, especially when that pregnancy is unexpected. After years of trying failing to have children, aging Sarah finally becomes pregnant. Her shocked husband frets over the health of the baby, but Sarah has an easy labor and gives birth to a perfectly healthy baby seed. Her husband is horrified, but Sarah is perfectly content with her hard-shelled offspring, and goes about planting and tending to her child.
Sarah and the Seed manages to pull off a strange combination; it's at once sweet and unnerving. Even as you suspect that Sarah's right in her confidence that everything will turn out alright, it's easy to sympathize with her husband's sense of dark dread. And, though the ending seems inevitable, Andrews manages to hang on to a bit of suspense through his long and dark canvases.

White, 55, was on probation for a 2008 charge of making methamphetamine when he was arrested on similar charges in Bibb County earlier this year.
White's last known address was in the 22000 block of Eastern Valley Road in McCalla. The charges of possession of a controlled substance, trafficking methamphetamine, possession of precursor materials and manufacturing a controlled substance in Bibb County violated the conditions of his probation for the case in Tuscaloosa County.
Anyone with information about White is asked to call the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office at 205-752-0616 or CrimeStoppers at 205-752-STOP(7867).

Man sentenced after foiled bank robbery
Frederick Charles Davis, 25, to serve 21 months in prison
A Louisiana man is sentenced Tuesday in connection with a failed bank robbery in September, authorities said.
Frederick Charles Davis, 25, of Shreveport, La., was sentenced to 21 months in prison and pay $32,322 in restitution after he pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit bank robbery charges in January.
According to court records, Davis tried to rob an ATM at the Citizen's Bank and Trust of Mountainburg. Davis and another man tried to remove the hinges of the machine using a cordless grinder bought from a local home improvement store. Investigators said after grinding off the hinges, Davis used an SUV and a tow chain to force open the ATM door; however, one of the hinges was not fully removed, and the ATM door failed to open.
Officials said law enforcement officers were conducting surveillance on Davis as a result of an extensive investigation into similar ATM robberies in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. Davis was arrested shortly after the failed robbery attempt.
Davis was indicted on Oct. 11, 2012.

The Washington PostNPR
Northern California, during the violent end of the 1960s. At the start of summer, a lonely and thoughtful teenager, Evie Boyd, sees a group of girls in the park, and is immediately caught by their freedom, their careless dress, their dangerous aura of abandon. Soon, Evie is in thrall to Suzanne, a mesmerizing older girl, and is drawn into the circle of a soon-to-be infamous cult and the man who is its charismatic leader. Hidden in the hills, their sprawling ranch is eerie and run down, but to Evie, it is exotic, thrilling, charged—a place where she feels desperate to be accepted. As she spends more time away from her mother and the rhythms of her daily life, and as her obsession with Suzanne intensifies, Evie does not realize she is coming closer and closer to unthinkable violence.

Researchers have taken a photo of a DNA strand, which is kind of cool, but also confused me a bit. Here it is:
Wait. The link says that this photo reveals the familiar "spiralling corkscrew" of the DNA double helix, but that can't be right. The familiar B-DNA form has a diameter of 2nm and the helices ought to show a 3.3nm repeat — this photo shows something way too thick and far too tightly wound to be a single strand. Also, every source I've found so far reproduces the photo with the scale bar but doesn't tell us the size of that bar, which is really annoying.
I looked a little further elsewhere (I don't have access to the journal it was published in, unfortunately) and found a slightly different story:
…at present, the method only works with "cords" of DNA made up of six molecules wrapped around an seventh acting as a core. That's because the electron energies are high enough to break up a single DNA molecule.
Oops, yeah. That makes more sense. So sorry, you still haven't seen a photograph of a single double-helical strand of DNA. But at least now you've seen many strands of DNA wrapped around a filament.
Here's a much more detailed critique of the reporting on that paper.

Councilman Elton Alexander is a native Georgian born in Greene County, Georgia, a rural community about 70 miles east of Atlanta near Lake Oconee. He moved to Marietta, GA in the 1980's to attend college. He began his career as a Restaurant Manager before moving into the food safety management field. He started and managed a logistics company from 2004-2013. He currently owns and operates Community Home Services, a property management and maintenance company and has over 25 years of business management experience.
As a father of two, Mr. Alexander moved to Henry County in 2004 after losing his wife in a tragic car accident in 2003. "I chose Henry County because it was the 10th fastest growing county in the nation at that time. I loved the idea of being a part of a developing community that I could play a role in shaping," he says. With 25 years of management experience in logistics, food safety, and property management , he understands the needs of business; especially small business. Per Elton, "You completely understand business when the money you spend is your own and I will treat the taxpayer's money as I would my own. When managing a business you understand it starts and ends with good people. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers/citizens."
Mr. Alexander started a grass roots movement called "Because We Care Henry-Atlanta South" promoting the south metro area to bring in jobs and economic development to Stockbridge & Henry County. His site's numbers on Facebook now exceed 13,000 followers and it has reached as many as 170,000 people in one week! He recently launched a new website BWCAtlantaSouth.com, receiving great interest from the public not on social media. His plans encompass working with Aerotropolis Atlanta, the South Metro Development Outlook, Stockbridge Downtown Development Authority, and the Henry County Development Authority to bring prosperity to Stockbridge while maintaining its small town charm.
"I have a passion for serving my community and a clear vision for the great future of the City of Stockbridge," he says.
Mr. Alexander's plans also include reestablishing the position of Stockbridge Economic Development Director so the City has a dedicated professional pursuing jobs and economic development every day first and foremost. Stockbridge has tremendous location and prime real estate that must be marketed properly to bring in quality development and jobs. Redeveloping downtown Stockbridge into a modern thriving area with shops, restaurants, town homes, green space and a connected trail network is his vision for the City. Equally important is increased police protection for City streets. He views the current number of officers as insufficient to proactively prevent crime as the challenge grows due to an increasing population "The choice is ours because the estimates for police services are between $3.5 to $4.3 million whether that is Henry County or a new Stockbridge police department. I advocate for a new Stockbridge Police Department because a city this size needs our own police force for community policing. Together we can make Stockbridge Great!"

By Staff Reports
(Victor Valley) – For many, Thanksgiving is a time for getting together with friends and loved ones to give thanks. Knowing that the holidays can make for busy conditions on the roadways, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is prepared to keep traffic moving and motorists safe throughout the long weekend.
Thanksgiving is a Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP) for the CHP. The Thanksgiving holiday reporting period begins Wednesday, November 21 at 6 p.m. and runs through Sunday, November 25 at 11:59 p.m.
"Motorists are less likely to encounter one of our officers by simply wearing their seat belt," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. "Not only does the law require everyone inside the vehicle to be properly secured, seat belts are your best line of defense in a collision."
Collisions increased significantly during last year's Thanksgiving holiday travel period. Tragically, 32 people lost their lives on California's roadways due to a collision; this was a 52 percent increase from Thanksgiving 2010. Additionally, two-thirds of the people killed in collisions within CHP's jurisdiction last year were not wearing a seat belt.
"Although the majority of motorists in California are buckling up every time they get into a vehicle, there is still a small portion of the motoring public that need this reminder," added Commissioner Farrow. "By not wearing your seat belt, the risk of death or injury in a collision substantially increases."
The CHP would also like to remind motorists to avoid distracted driving, travel at a speed that is safe for conditions and also designate a non-drinking driver for the safety of everyone on the road. Last year during the Thanksgiving holiday, the CHP made 1,475 arrests for driving under the influence. The public is encouraged to report unsafe or impaired drivers by calling 9-1-1.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has designated November 16 – 25, 2012, as the national "Thanksgiving Holiday Travel, Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time."

CIOs don't have sales quotas, but they may want to think more like salespeople. Not that they need to always be closing, a la Blake (Alec Baldwin) in Glengarry Glen Ross. But it may make sense to always be challenging.
That was the premise of a webinar on what IT can learn from sales, hosted by officials at the research and consulting firm Corporate Executive Board>.
"Whether you carry a quota or not, a big part of most jobs is selling," says David Anderson, a "member advisor" on CEB's Sales Leadership Council. "Selling new ideas, new ways of thinking, new approaches. Trying to get other individuals to explore new alternatives, change their behavior, do something we recommend."
CEB says up to 70% of IT organizations have at least one employee who works as what CEB calls a "business liaison." These IT business liaisons identify customer needs, manage demand, pitch new ideas and services and hope to become trusted advisors on the best IT solutions.
[ Senior IT managers also need to do more than just think like salespeople. Read CIOs Must Innovate Or Go Home. ]
Sounds a lot like a salesperson, doesn't it? "We have been able to apply this [sales] idea to IT because it holds true," says Leda Nelson, a member advisor on CEB's CIO Leadership Council.
The question comes down to what kind of salesperson should an IT person be.
CEB surveyed more than 6,000 salespeople, and found the data showed they fit into five profiles:
-- Hard Workers
-- Relationship Builders
-- Challengers
-- Problem Solvers
-- Lone Wolfs
[The research was published as "The Challenger Sale" in 2011.]
CEB says only three of these types will typically be found as an IT business liaison: the Relationship Builder, the Hard Worker and the Challenger. Lone Wolfs aren't going to be made a liaison, and Problem Solvers deal with problems after the fact, a customer support role in IT.
In sales, the data shows the best performers are "Challengers." A Challenger, in CEB lingo, is contrarian, enjoys debating with customers and pushes them to think differently about things. It's counterintuitive to think that debating or pushing signal effective practices for IT, usually a service organization. But "Challenger" does not mean "confronter."
Anderson says Challengers do build relationships. They do it by engaging with their business-side counterparts and "challenging" their thinking. A Challenger is an educator, who teaches the customer something new. In an IT context, they'd give the business insight into how technologies will improve competitive position. They may stand their ground against business requests that they think don't make sense. By offering useful reasons why, they build respect for IT from the business side.
In contrast, Hard Workers aim to please and impress through their sheer effort, and Relationship Builders want to be liked, want to please their customer through meeting the needs they express.
Anderson called this IT's version of filling orders. A Challenger, he said, will "help someone think differently about their problems, their risks and opportunities. People want new insights into business needs."
A Challenger has a four-part model for negotiation:
-- Acknowledge and defer
-- Deepen and broaden
-- Explore and compare
-- Create plans
Here's how Anderson said it would work for IT: A business executive asks for a certain product or service. The Challenger might say they aren't sure that the product is right for the company. The customer would respond "Hey, trust me, we've been researching this for months and know what we need. You don't understand finance like we do."
The IT Challenger would first acknowledge: "I know you've spent a lot of time researching this and the vendor says there won't be any problems. I'm not disagreeing with you."
Then, defer: "All I'm saying is we need to make sure we set this up the right way, otherwise it's likely to cost us five times as much to fix problems. So with your permission can we just take this up as conversation?"
In that way, Anderson says, the Challenger will be able to take the next step, to deepen and broaden the conversation. That lets them bring up issues that the business side hadn't considered, or broader business needs they didn't know about.
After that, the Challenger would explore and compare, discussing different approaches or products and their potential impact on the business. In this part of the conversation, the Challenger and the business side would work together to establish priorities, get a clear sense of the business side's needs, and discuss any potential issues for IT that might prevent those from being met.
At this point, the IT liaison and the business side will create a plan that will work well for both the company and IT. It may in fact be the initial option asked for by the business side. "But now you're confident that everyone will get benefits they expect," Anderson said.
In sales, the Challenger model far outperforms the more accommodating Relationship and Hard Worker models. Is it time for CIOs to take this challenge?

Cleaning Your Binger on the Cheap
To keep your pieces clean and hitting at maximum efficiency, you'll need to routinely descale them of tar and resin build-up. This does not mean, however, that you should blow $20 or more at your local head-shop for glorified glass cleaner. Here are two methods for keeping your gear sparkling for practically nothing.
Take one saucepan, fill it with water, put the glassware in as well and heat it above a low flame. As the water boils, it will loosen the resin which liquefies and floats away. Keep the pot at a rolling boil for 5-8 minutes then turn off the heat and let it cool before removing the glass from the water. You can also go over the piece with a soft-bristle pipe cleaner or Q-Tips to touch it up—don't use paper clips, they score the inside of the glass and weaken it over time.
Make sure the glassware is heated and cooled completely before handling—adding the pipe to an already boiling pot of water, or heating/cooling it too quickly will likely shatter it. And also use a pot that you don't cook food in anymore. Getting the stink of liquefied resin out of cookware is no easy feat.
Empty the water from your binger and remove the down-stem. First, pour a 1/4 cup of table salt down the neck of the bong, followed by 3/4 to a full cup of rubbing alcohol. Cover the mouthpiece and stem with your hands and shake it. Keep shaking and swishing the mixture about until it rubs the resin off of the inside walls, then pour out the spent salt/alcohol mix and rinse well. That's it, your pipe is now clean. This also works well on bowls, bubblers and all manner of pipes as well.[Photo Credit: Karin Hildebrand Lau / Shutterstock]
Tourist Marijuana Ban In The Netherlands May Be A Pipe Dream
Come May 1st, foreign tourists will be officially banned from Amsterdam's famed pot-selling cafes. That's assuming the cafe owners are willing to forgo a significant portion of the $2.5 billion in revenue they made last year from selling greenery.
"I'm not going to discriminate on the basis of nationality. I've only ever discriminated on the basis of behavior," Michael Veling, the owner of 420 Cafe in Amsterdam explained to the New York Times. "I'll go back to selling alcohol, and go back to selling bags of weed under the counter." And given that cafes have already lost $41 million in revenue since the preliminary statutes of the bill went into effect in October, it will likely be near-impossible to enforce.

Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
Latest Innovations. Subspecialty Care. Strength in Patient Follow-Up
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is primarily a disease of the bile ducts of the liver. It normally affects the bile ducts outside the liver but can also affect the bile ducts inside the liver, as well as those of the gallbladder and pancreas. When inflammation present in this disease causes these ducts to scar and harden, they become narrowed or blocked. Bile cannot drain properly and it accumulates in the liver, causing damage to cells there.
"Cholangitis" refers to the inflammation in the bile ducts that causes the "sclerosing" or scarring process. "Primary" refers to the process not being a result of some other disease. Most patients with sclerosing cholangitis will undergo permanent liver damage in the form of cirrhosis. These patients are at risk for liver failure and for malignant cancer of the bile duct.
Causes/risk factors
This disease is also referred to as "idiopathic" sclerosing cholangitis, meaning that the cause is unknown. It is believed that some abnormal immune reaction directed at the tissue of the bile ducts begins the process.
The presence of inflammatory bowel disease associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis, as is the presence of certain other sclerosing diseases and AIDS. Men are also more likely to have this condition.
Signs & symptoms
The disease may take years to produce symptoms but once they begin to develop, patients experience:
- fatigue;
- loss of appetite;
- weight loss;
- and jaundice.
Sclerosing cholangitis brings on nutritional deficiencies and can also cause diffuse itching, abdominal pain, and infection. The disease's course is slow and progressive.
In addition to taking a medical history, performing a physical examination, and requesting blood tests, physicians may order cholangiography to diagnose primary sclerosing cholangitis. In this procedure, a specialist injects dye into the bile ducts to give more contrast definition to x-rays of these ducts. It may be performed by ERCP or PTC.
As the disease progresses, patients may need a liver biopsy, to determine the degree of damage to the liver. A specialist will use a fine needle to remove a small amount of the liver for microscopic analysis.
Treating primary sclerosing cholangitis is a challenge. Care is focused on the symptoms - rather than the underlying process, for which there is no treatment. Drug therapy can address itching and infection. Vitamin therapy can address bone loss.
Specialists may attempt to open obstructed bile ducts by dilation (stretching them open) with balloon catheters or by stenting them. Sometimes surgery to bypass the duct blockage is performed. Surgeons in Aria's Division of General Surgery are experts in providing surgery for conditions of the gallbladder.
The only cure for the condition is liver transplantation, and sclerosing cholangitis is, in fact, one of the primary reasons for which patients will undergo liver transplantation. Gastroenterologists at Aria Health ths work in cooperation with Jefferson's Liver Transplant Program to provide patients with advanced liver disease the opportunity for evaluation and possible transplantation. Survival rates and quality of life after liver transplantation for sclerosing cholangitis are very good.

Every Man in This Village Is a Liar: An Education in War
Legend was he was ruthless in war, killing enemies with his bare hands. He said he knew where Osama bin Laden was hiding. And now he was petting me like a puppy.

Cold dawn broke on the horizon outside. The bedroom door shushed open, bringing the morning air and a warlord on predator's toes.
I lay in a nest of polyester blankets and listened to his footsteps cross the carpet. Every muscle pulled tight. You reveal yourself in breath, in the nerves of your face. Count the breaths, in and out. He sat on the edge of the bed. Smooth breath, relax your eyes, don't let the lids shake. Then his calloused old hand was stroking my hair, cupping my scalp, fingers dripping like algae onto my ears and cheeks.
The warlord lived in Jalalabad, in a swath of Afghanistan where the soil is rich with poppies and land mines, in a house awash in guns. People whispered that he was a heroin trafficker. His tribal loyalists clotted the orange groves and rose gardens outside, AK-47s in dust-caked fingers. They said he was ruthless in war, that his skin was scarred by an arrow. There was a vague whisper about a legendary ambush, the warlord killing enemies with his bare hands. And now those ropey hands were petting my hair, silent and brazen.

Image: http://images.popmatters.com/book_cover_art/e/everymanliar-cvr.jpgI clung to one thing: Brian, the photographer, was in the bathroom. Water slapped the floor. How long would his shower last, and how could I escape the warlord's lechery without offending him? The truth was, we needed him. He was an enemy of the Taliban, funded by the U.S. government, making a play for power in the vague, new order that had begun when American soldiers toppled the Taliban government. I was a stranger here, and he was my best source. He said he knew where Osama bin Laden was hiding. And now he was petting me like a puppy; nobody could sleep through it. The bed creaked. Stale breath sank in my face. Papery lips pressed my forehead. I opened my eyes and tried to look groggy.
"What are you doing?"
I struggled upright, cleared a phlegmy throat, and tried to sound dignified: "You are putting me into a very awkward position." A black-and-white movie line, spilling out in a moment of panic.
He smiled and reached for my face.
"Please don't do that," I snapped.
Then, suddenly, silence. The water stopped, the pipes fell quiet. The warlord glanced around, stood, and slipped back out of the room.
Brian stepped out; his hair gleamed with water.
I turned my eyes to him and hissed: "We've got to get out of here."
I had met Mohammed Zaman weeks earlier, in Peshawar— a cramped kaleidoscope of a city perched on the last edge of organization and authority in Pakistan. To the west stretched the lawless tribal territories, the Khyber Pass, the Afghan frontier. Driven away by the Taliban, Zaman had been living an exile's life in Dijon, France, before September 11. Under chilly French skies he'd pined after his family's lands, the service of armed tribesmen, and, presumably, the rich, fresh fields of Afghan poppy. When U.S. jets started dropping bombs on Afghanistan, Zaman raced back to Peshawar and holed up in a rented house, waiting for the Americans to dispose of the Taliban and clear the path home— and eager to make some money while he was at it.
I sat in the shadows of a taxi late one night, my face and head draped in scarves, making my way through the jangling streets of Peshawar for an audience with Zaman. I liked it, all of it, enormously— the poetry of the place, the intrigue of war, imagining myself veiled in the back of a clopping carriage, bringing secrets to a bootlegger. The warlord's return had drawn throngs of men for endless meetings; I picked my way around the crowds on the lawn and sat waiting in a long drawing room. A door opened and out marched an American diplomat I'd seen at the embassy. His eyes skimmed mine and he hurried on, stone-faced. He didn't like being spotted there. I sat and watched him leave.
Zaman came out, tall and deliberate, face sagging from his skull. We sat with tea between us, and I asked him to take me to Afghanistan when he went.
He was solemn. "I take your life on my honor," he said from the heights of his mountainous nose. "They will have to kill me before they can harm you."
A few days later, we set off for war. The sun sank as we drove toward the Khyber Pass, storied old route of smugglers and marauders. Men pounded through a field hockey match in a haze of setting sun and rising dust. "Dead slow," ordered a traffic sign. "These areas are full of drugs," muttered the driver. In my head shimmered gilded pictures of the Grand Trunk Road, the Silk Road, Kim. On the edge of Afghanistan, stars crowded the sky, dull and dense. We crossed the border and plunged into the enormous uncertainty of this new American war. Forty Afghan fighters waited for us, young men and boys nestled together in pickup trucks. They shivered in the stinging night and gripped grenade launchers, chains of machine gun rounds trailing from the trucks. We drove alongside the Kabul River, past the shadowed bulk of mountains and tractors, along fields of tobacco and wheat. At the edge of Jalalabad, the deserted dinosaurs of rusted Soviet tanks reared from the ground.
In the core of the dusty night, we pulled up to his house. Zaman served a feast and stayed awake with us, lolling on the floor around the vegetables and lamb and spinning out long, fatigued stories. We blinked and yawned but Zaman pushed on toward sunrise. He was selling his case even then, from those earliest hours. Osama bin Laden had fled to the nearby White Mountains, he said, to the caves cut into stone, to Tora Bora. The terrorist and his followers still lurked nearby. If America was serious about this war on terror, the terrorists needed to be flushed out. He could do the job; he only needed guns, money, and equipment.
He talked on and on, weaving French into English, until the dawn call to prayer rang from a whitening sky. His words melted together. My chin was falling. I slept on the floor, and woke up in the new Afghanistan.
The first days with Zaman were easy. The stories fell like ripe fruit. But when he tiptoed to my bed, I knew we had to scrounge for another roof. There was nowhere to go but the Spin Ghar hotel, a crumbling Soviet relic rising from tangles of garden and derelict trees. Rank smells wafted through the cold corridors, over chipped linoleum, past cracked plaster walls. Mad jumbles of bodies crowded the lobby— foreign reporters, Afghans, hired gunmen in their robes and eye paint, all sprawled on the grass, smoking on the steps, flooding over the balconies.
The electricity died that night, and gas lanterns shivered in the dark cavern of the hotel dining room. Everybody was very quiet. There was bad news.
Some of the reporters had set off for Kabul in a convoy that day. Two hours out of town, Afghan bandits stopped the first car and shot the passengers dead: a Spaniard, an Afghan, an Australian. There was an Italian woman, too, who was raped and then killed. The rest of the reporters squealed their cars around and came back to Jalalabad. The bodies were abandoned on the road. It was the first lost gamble, and it pulled us a little farther into war.
Now we in the dark dining room were rendered survivors, the ones who hadn't died. The faces swim out of darkness, painted in wisps of gaslight. They are talking about the abandoned bodies, about who fetched them. I feel empty. I have no reaction. It is a gap inside of me, like putting your tongue where a tooth used to be. I know that I should feel something; to feel something is appropriate and human. I stay silent so that the others will not realize that I am gaping like a canyon. I am not absolutely sure this is real; it's so very far from where we started. On September 11, I was in Paris, and then in Bahrain, an aircraft carrier, and Pakistan, moving slowly, unconsciously closer to here, tonight. America is at war, and we are all here too, at the edge of death, just like that, in just a few weeks. And so we are on an island, and so the roads are a place to die.

Getting designated as one of six drone test sites in the U.S. is just the beginning.
Getting designated as one of six drone test sites in the U.S. is just the beginning.
Now that the NUAIR Alliance, which has Griffiss International Airport as its central airfield, has been chosen by the Federal Aviation Administration, the group will have to work fast to get operations up and running to make the most of the award.
"Just being one of the six opens the door," U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said last week in the wake of the announcement. "But we still have to walk through."
The NUAIR group is hoping to be among the first to open to companies wishing to test their drones.
"The commercial and civil marketplace is ready to explode as soon as they get authorization," said NUAIR Alliance General Counsel Lawrence Brinker. "The quicker we can get going, the faster we become attractive, because that will lead them more quickly to the commercial market place."
Depending on their needs, some companies might choose to locate some of their operations in the area, he said.
The FAA will select the first of the six sites to formally open by June, and the next few sites before the end of the year. The remaining sites will open later.
The first phase of the integration of drones into civilian airspace is set to begin in September 2015.
Key steps to getting started are:
* Developing a plan that meets the FAA's requirements for safety and operation.
* Finding funding to implement the plans.
* Get a physical location up and running.
A preliminary plan is due to the FAA by Jan. 14. Brinker also said some early drone testing could start as early as three months from now, despite the FAA's public schedule.
NUAIR and Oneida County are in discussions about the lease of a 14,000-square-foot nose dock hangar at Griffiss, a former Air Force base.
Brinker said most of the 10 to 15 NUAIR employees at Griffiss will be housed at the nose dock, though there could be another 10 to 15 staffers involved in educational programs at the site geared toward people who want to work with drones.
County Executive Anthony Picente and Steve DiMeo, Mohawk Valley EDGE economic development agency president, said they are working closely with NUAIR to make sure the group has everything it needs.
"We have been involved and engaged throughout and it will be a collaborative process," Picente said.
Picente and DiMeo said they are looking into whether they can get parcels at Griffiss into the state's new START-UP New York program, which offers tax exemptions to new companies setting up shop near state colleges and universities.
State Sen. Joseph Griffo, R-Rome, said he is looking into whether state funding is available.
'There is a willingness and a readiness to make this happen," he said. "But we need to put the pieces together."
Griffo said he is waiting for details about how much money is needed. Brinker said he is hoping for some state and federal dollars, which could be available in the forms of grants specifically geared for various purposes. Also, he said, once the operation is up and running, there will be a fee for the facilities' use.
Melanie Hinton, a spokeswoman for the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, said it is important for the test sites to open up quickly, but "if you aren't first, you haven't missed out."
All the test sites will have a jump on the competition, as the civilian airspace opens up to drones and other places are able to hold tests.
"The test sites will have established reputations, so it will be easier for them to attract manufacturers and people who want to test products," Hinton said.

Best-in-class EEI
With an average EEI of just 0.18 across the range, the new MAGNA3 circulator is the most efficient circulator pump range for commercial buildings on the market today.
This puts it way ahead of not just planned European legislation, but also of the current 0.20 EEI benchmark for Best in Class technology.
The combination of industry-leading EEI and the renowned Grundfos reliability makes MAGNA3 a very attractive proposition for anyone interested in quick return on investment and low Life Cycle Costs.
The combination of efficiency and comfort is made possible by the Grundfos-invented intelligent control mode AUTOADAPT.
AUTOADAPT continuously adjusts the proportional pressure curve and automatically sets a more efficient one, without compromising comfort demands. This factory setting eliminates the need for manual adjustments in 80% of all installations.
The default AUTOADAPT proportional pressure curve has a set point of 55% of the pump's maximum head. Should the system reach its maximum curve, the duty point will follow this curve and create a new proportional pressure curve based on the new system duty point. And from here, the process starts all over again.
Range and applications
This range extension means that it is now much easier to right-size a MAGNA3 for any duty point.
MAGNA3 is a full-range pump with more than 150 different single and twin circulators in cast iron or stainless steel. Maximum head has been increased to 18 m and flow to 70 m3/h. Running twin pumps on full capacity gives you an even larger performance area. This range extension means that it is now much easier to right-size a MAGNA3 for any duty point.
Like its predecessor, MAGNA3 is suited for heating and cooling applications as well as domestic hot water circulation systems. It is designed to handle liquids down to
-10°C, which also makes it suitable for both tough industrial tasks and ground source heat pump systems.
Furthermore, liquid temperature (-10°C to +110°C) is independent of ambient temperature (0°C to +40°C), since electronics are now air-cooled.
Component upgrades
The MAGNA3 impeller, pump house hydraulics and motor have been mutually optimized using flow analysis and 3D development tools. The new impeller has been designed for higher RPMs and is made from composite. Impeller vanes have also been improved, switching from the previous 2D design to a new 3D design with curved vanes.
Permanent magnet rotor ensures that there is zero slip between the rotor and the compact stator's electric field and provides very strong torque at low power consumption.
New carbon fibre-reinforced composite rotor can minimizes power loss and contributes to higher energy efficiency.
In-slot stator winding prevents the heat loss that would occur in pumps with excess copper outside the iron core.
Grundfos-developed integrated differential pressure sensor increases efficiency by providing very accurate estimates of flow values.
Air-cooling of power electronics extends the pump's liquid temperature operational range to -10°C to +110°C.
Improved I/O package with one analogue input (0-10V or 4-20 mA) (built-in power supply), two individually configurable relay outputs and three digital inputs.
CIM module slot allows for direct connection to a BMS gateway without external hardware protocol components.
For the full list of MAGNA3 component upgrades, please refer to the product brochure found here http://www.grundfos.com/products/find-product/magna3.html
Flow limitation and heat energy meter
Two of the MAGNA3's new features help to reduce system complexity and makes the MAGNA3 more than a pump.
The new FLOWLIMIT function and FLOWADAPT control mode (AUTOADAPT with a maximum flow limit) allow you to set a maximum flow limit for your MAGNA3 pump. This improves overall energy-efficiency and eliminates the need for pump throttling valves in systems where MAGNA3 is used as a booster pump.
In any control mode, the FLOWLIMIT function will save you the trouble of balancing the set point – the pump will never go above the maximum flow you enter.
The MAGNA3 also features a built-in heat energy meter that can monitor system heat energy distribution and consumption in order to avoid excessive energy bills caused by system imbalances. This will save you the cost of installing a separate energy metering device within your system.
To make use of the heat energy meter function, you will need to add an external sensor to measure return pipe liquid temperature.
The built-in heat energy meter is an excellent tool for system optimization but cannot be used for billing purposes.
Mobile control
Like all other Grundfos electronic pumps, the MAGNA3 can be monitored and controlled through the Grundfos GO app, which is a free download from the App Store and Google Play.
Grundfos GO gives you intuitive wireless pump control and full access to the Grundfos online tools on the go
To make full use of the app, you will need the appropriate Mobile Interface (dongle) for your iPhone or Android smartphone. If you do not currently own a smartphone, Grundfos offers the Grundfos GO device, a complete iPod Touch solution.
Grundfos GO gives you intuitive wireless pump control and full access to the Grundfos online tools on the go.
Grundfos GO allows you to name individual pumps for easy reference. And in work sites where multiple pumps are controlled through Grundfos GO, the built-in wink function on the pump display even lets you know which pump is currently targeted by the application.
You also get live data feed from your pumps directly on to your screen, including duty points, historical data, power consumption, pump speed and temperature.
All these data can be easily gathered in connection with reporting thanks to the built-in PDF generator. The PDF reports can be shared with others, sent to your own email address or printed when you get back to the office.

According to a blog post earlier this week, Microsoft are readying the Kinect for Windows 1.5 update for release by late May. What's new? Here's what they touched on in the post:
Kinect Studio, which is an application that lets developers record, playback, and debug clips of users engaging with their applications. Interesting, yet oddly creepy at the same time. However, it could add an element of entertainment for developing with the Xbox; watching people use stuff like the Kinect is always hilarious, after all.
Skeletal tracking, referred to by Microsoft as "seated" or "10-joint" tracking, which allows you to track the head, neck and arms of either a seated or standing users. This will work in both default and near mode.
French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese are now available for speech recognition. New language packs will also be released to "enable speech recognition for the way a language is spoken in different regions". A pack will be released for the following regions: English/Great Britain, English/Ireland, English/Australia, English/New Zealand, English/Canada, French/France, French/Canada, Italian/Italy, Japanese/Japan, Spanish/Spain and Spanish/Mexico.
In conclusion, the team also announced that Kinect for Windows will be available in nineteen additional countries shortly. It will hit Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan in late May, and in late June, Kinect for Windows will also hit Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, India, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.

Job creation advice for candidates from business owners
Written by Chris Rose
AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Three Maine businesses. From the smallest of the small, to a longtime family retailer, to a high-tech precision machine shop.
What happens in Washington affects them all.
Wick Johnson owns Kennebec Technologies in Augusta where 65 skilled employees make precision machine parts for airliners, the aerospace industry and the semi conductor field. He says the biggest thing stifling and job creation is the same thing that Senator Olympia Snowe says forced her to leave Washington, partisan bickering and the inaction of our elected leaders.
"So many of these things have been looming for so long whether its what we do with social security, national health care, it's time to make decisions one way or the other so people can make plans based on them", he said.
Jim Wellehan wants to know where taxes are headed. His father started Lamey Wellehan shoes back in 1914. With 6 stores throughout Maine, he has 75 employees. Wellehan would like to see our next elected officials work on making the tax code more fair for small businesses.
"When you've got large companies that are so in this country, Google for example pays a 6% tax rate and that's just not fair. There are many big companies, when you've got corporate ownership that's so embedded in Washington, it's got to be changed, resisted", he said.
Wellehan says his and other small businesses pay upwards of 20-percent on taxes.
You don't get much smaller than Veneer Services Unlimited in Kennebunk. The 3 employees here make custom veneer products, thin surface panels of wood used by cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers and boat builders. Owner John Costin says the collapse of the housing market made things tough for the business.
"We need to resolve our mortgage crisis, because that's got people not spending. Anything that improves the housing market is going to improve that, certainly in our business", he said.
The businesses do agree on one thing. It's all about attitude. If Washington gets it's own house in order, passes responsible and takes action to reduce the deficit, then everyone will have more confidence. It's consumer confidence that drives our economy.

When Michael Jackson couldn't sleep while touring Europe in the mid-1990s, his Munich hotel room was converted to a surgical suite, outfitted to administer the powerful anesthetic propofol, his ex-wife testified Wednesday.
Debbie Rowe told jurors Jackson always had difficulty sleeping, but while on his European tour, his sleep disorder "kicked in high gear."
Rowe and Jackson, who were married at the time, contacted Dr. Allan Metzger, the singer's internist. Metzger arranged for a German medical team to administer propofol to the singer for eight hours, Rowe said.
Rowe said she was "very impressed" by the German medical team, who carefully explained the dangers of the procedure, performed a physical examination and constantly monitored the singer while he was unconscious.
More than a decade before Jackson died from a fatal dose of propofol, Rowe asked him about the consequences.
"I said, 'What happens if you die?' " Rowe said. "He was more worried about not sleeping."
Three days later, Rowe said Jackson was again sedated with propofol, the last time she witnessed his receiving the anesthetic for purposes other than a medical procedure.
Rowe was called as a witness by AEG Live in the wrongful death suit filed by Jackson's mother and three children against the concert tour promoter.
Jackson's family contends AEG negligently hired Conrad Murray, the cardiologist who administered the fatal dose of propofol in June 2009. AEG said the King of Pop hired Murray, and any money paid to him was an advance to Jackson.
At the time of his death, Jackson was rehearsing for a sold-out, 50-date comeback tour at London's O2 Arena.
Rowe, who varyingly sobbed on the witness stand and talked back to attorneys, offered a candid look into the singer's medical history and struggles with addiction.
She said Metzger developed a plan to ease Jackson off of the painkiller demerol in 1993, after the singer was recovering from scalp surgery but before he headed off to tour.
Later that year, Rowe visited the singer while he was touring in Mexico City and described Jackson as "a hot mess," living in a messy hotel room and speaking incoherently.
After the pair fought, Rowe persuaded him to enter rehab, pledging to stand by his side.
"You need to straighten up, face whatever it is that's going on, and we'll get through it," Rowe said she told the singer, who later entered a London rehab facility.
Earlier, Rowe testified that Jackson's doctors competed to one-up each other in prescribing drugs to the singer.
But Rowe portrayed herself as Jackson's best friend, guarding against the many who sought to take advantage of him.
"He trusted people — foolishly, foolishly trusted a lot of people," Rowe said, as Jackson's mother, Katherine, sitting in the front row, nodded in agreement.
Rowe divorced Jackson in 1997 and ceded parental rights in 2001.
Cross-examination of Rowe by attorneys representing the Jackson family resumes Thursday morning.

Jesus of Jerusalem
Jesus of Jerusalem- full name Jesus Rodger Louise smith of Jerusalem (not to be confused with Jesus of Nazareth) was a well-known criminal mastermind and contemporary of Jesus. Born in Jerusalem some time between 4 and 8 BC, he quickly became known amongst authorities (under the name "Jesus", leading to much confusion throughout his life) for his crimes, many of which were violent or sexual in nature.
Early Life[edit]
Jesus of Jerusalem's ancestry is completely unknown, although some people may called him a self- hating Jew, but some people claim he was simply found on the front steps of the Jerusalem Hospice one dusty morning. Because of this, the exact date of his birth is also unknown, and historians in particular have simply no idea. However, they do know the source of his name; the owner of the hospice, often employed part-time to clean the Temple of any leftover foreskins, witnessed a ruckus in which an old homeless man, attempting to prophesize about a boy circumsized just minuted before, was beaten by the temple guards. As they dragged him out, he cried out, "Jesus! Jesus! Save me, o Messiah!", prompting the foster parent, as if in jest, to name the young foundling Jesus. Little is known of the first ten years of this boy's troubled life, but the first recorded information tells us that he was addicted to crack at age 12.
Unable to fund his growing habit, he turned to selling drugs, although this still wasn't bringing him in enough money. He turned to corpse looting (when there wasn't a suitable supply of corpses to be found, he simply murdered people), which worked for a further two years until all the good corpses had already been looted, and only poor people remained. At this point he was forced to perform sexual acts with strangers in exchange for money, and it was while he was doing this that he discovered his fixation with children.
Rise to Fame[edit]
Although already somewhat known for selling drugs in local brothels, Jesus of Jerusalem didn't become a household name until after he formed JCAI. JCAI (rarely known by its full name, Jesus Child Abuse Inc.) offered aspiring young child abusers the chance to train under Jesus himself, for a marginal fee. Membership of limited to only those under 12 (anybody older had already missed the chance to become a truly legendary pedophile), and training consisted almost exclusively of having sex with Jesus. JCAI was seen for many years as the foremost training centre in the art of child abuse, with rich families sending their children to be abused by Jesus as a status symbol.
JCAI also started the first all-children brothel in Jerusalem, which is generally regarded as a failure because Jesus was the only customer. Realizing this, Jesus then expanded his brothel (including adults, but only men practicing BDSM), and used it as a front for selling drugs.
The Turning Point[edit]
After this major expansion, Jesus began to grow bored of children. At this point he turned to grown men, but his reputation always preceded him and he was unable to find any takers. Because of this, he was forced to become an anal rapist. After setting up brothels in all the major cities of the ancient world, Jesus was still not satisfied, and formed a coalition with other minor crime lords, who routinely pillaged villages too small to need a brothel.
It is not certain what caused the police to stand up and take notice, it could have been the pillaging, although it is equally likely to be the rape, as by this point Jesus had become more and more dependent on his non-standard sex life. He was still addicted to crack, and was now high nearly all day. At the age of 25 he stopped sleeping, instead using the time to stalk the streets looking for sex.
However, it is known for certain that the police ran into Jesus on several of his late night rape runs, letting him off with only a verbal warning. This pattern continued until by age 28 his influence was dwindling at a rapid rate. His former followers turned against him, and laws were passed by his dissenters prohibiting child abuse. At age 30, while he still had extensive criminal contacts, he had lost the support of the general public, and his power had fallen to a level where the police could combat him.
The authorities finally decided that the rape and pillaging had to stop, so they arrested Jesus and took him to the Roman prelate Pontius Pilate. After conferring with his good friend from Rome, Biggus Dickus, and being threatened with bodily harm by a large mob of itinerant Judean farmers, it was all over; the verdict was death. However, due to confusion over the names, it was actually Jesus of Nazareth who was arrested. After this other man's violent crucifixion, Jesus of Jerusalem capitalized on his namesake's fame and began pretending he was the Messiah.
Five days later, however, he was seized upon by a group of travelling prophets, who were fed up with all the publicity this upstart was getting. Not knowing he wasn't the real deal, they took him out into the desert and gruesomely lashed him with a birch branch, then attached both his hands and both his feet to the ground with the use of a heavy stake. They then stabbed him in the side and left him to die.
Fortunately, Jesus was able to violently rip one hand out from the stake, then use it to pull his other appendages out. After wandering back to Jerusalem, he stumbled into a house with a locked door. Always fancying himself an illusionist, he found a weakness in the door, then pushed so the door crumbled into dust. Within the room, he found the twelve disciples, who were waiting for the return of Jesus of Nazareth.
With them, also, was Didymus Judas Thomas. Doubting, he had said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
As Jesus of Jerusalem staggered in, half-dressed and deliriously crying out, "Peas! Be with... *mew*," Thomas leapt to his feet, crying out, "My Lord and my God!" Unfortunately for Jesus, Thomas was horribly far-sighted, and could not see the difference between this ravaged criminal and his own brother. Attempting to fulfill his promise, Thomas stuck out two of his grimy, fishy fingers and began probing the pus-filled gap in Jesus' side, causing Jesus of Jerusalem to cry out, "BANANAS!!! BANANAS!!!"
Thomas, startled, pulled his fingers out of the raving man, throwing Jesus off-balance. Slipping, he tried to grab onto a shudder near a window, but couldn't quite manage it. He fell three stories, landing in the back of a hay wagon, which sped off. Shortly afterwards, he died from his wounds.
The disciples, not seeing that he fell into the back of the wagon, assumed that he somehow managed to ascend into heaven.
After his Death[edit]
It is commonly believed that Jesus of Jerusalem returned to life after his death. This is impossible, however, as there was really nothing left to bury after the incident with the window. The followers of Jesus of Jerusalem (now called Mormons) have been hell bent on ruining Jesus of Nazareth's reputation ever since.

Hope College will present its annual fall student dance concerts on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 22 and 23, at the Dow Center dance studio, and on Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 6 and 7, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
At each location there will be separate programs, with nine students' works being presented in the intimate "white box" Dow studio and 10 different pieces in the traditional setting at the Knickerbocker Theatre. The doors will open at 7:30 p.m.
Hip Hop Anonymous will present a new group work during the Nov. 22-23 Dow concerts that takes an intriguing look at the circus world. During the Dec. 6-7 Knickerbocker concerts, the students of Composition II class will present "Operation American Dream," which examines the relationship between the "red carpet" world of fashion/ celebrity/ conformity and the world of military/ war/ uniformity. Other student works inspired by painting, poetry, sculpture, human history, spoken word, personal relationships and ritual will also be presented across the four evenings.
The Knickerbocker concerts will also feature lighting designs by student designers from the Intro to Dance Production I class with supervision by Erik Alberg. Student choreographers and designers collaborate on the production of the works and their final look on stage.
All student works are adjudicated before the concerts, and then proceed to either the Dow studio concert or the Knickerbocker. This year's adjudicator was Thayer Jonutz, who is a full-time faculty member at OaklandUniversity. Thayer, who holds a bachelor's degree in modern dance from Brigham Young University and is an MFA graduate of the University of Michigan, danced professionally with Peter Sparling Dance Company and Repertory Dance Theatre, and is co-founder and co-artistic director of Mise en Place Dance. He has danced in, and had his works performed in, Tonga, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea and India, and participated in the Wave Rising Series and Dumbo Dance Festival, both in New York City, during this past year. Thayer spent two days with the students, and concert coordinators Matthew Thornton and Steven Iannacone, providing insight and challenging questions for the young choreographers and for their works.
The Knickerbocker Theater is located at 86 E. Eighth St. The Dow Center dance studio is on the second floor of the Dow Center, located at 168 E. 13th St., on the corner of 13th Street and Columbia Avenue.

DICE has posted an update on the official Battlefield Blog to give us a "flythrough" of one of Aftermath's maps, Epicenter.
According to Level Artist Pontus Ryman, DICE wanted to bring the earthquake from single-player into multiplayer with the Aftermath expansion.
"The aftershocks in the level go off with a randomized timer, so no one knows when the next shock is going to hit, making it a dynamic experience. The raw sound of the thundering earthquake combines with everything from car alarms going off to dogs barking in the distance just before the shake and debris with dust falling from buildings. Coupled with the literal shaking of the player, it really creates a unique multiplayer experience."
Looks better than good , looks amazing . This game just gets better and better !! .
I'd like to know what kind of maps will it be, i only play: Metro,Bazar,Sien.
looking forward to this. battlefield3 just keeps getting better and better.
How does BF3 get better and better every time?
Good for me I got in on the action from beta :D
