It begins: Pat White to Dolphins -- "A wildcat that can throw"
As Jon Gruden just said, and I do my best to recollect his words from memory: "I've been studying the spread offense all last season, and it gives you a player advantage. Defenses were dropping extra guys into the box for the wildcat -- well here's a wildcat that can throw."
Implicit in what Gruden said is that what the Dolphins can do is go beyond to wildcat to simply the spread itself: the quarterback as dual threat, which puts the defense -- and specifically the safeties -- in an incredible bind. I have much discussed these ideas previously. Keep in mind too that Gruden knows what he's talking about on this point: he just returned from the University of Florida clinic where he lectured and talked with and learned from Bill Belichick and Urban Meyer -- and Meyer's offense was a particularly important subject, particularly the bind that a true dual threat quarterback provides.
Now, I'm not predicting White as rookie of the year, or that he will displace Chad Pennington, but this is an important pick because he goes to a team that knows what they are doing with this stuff. David Lee and Dan Henning obviously brought in the Wildcat series last season -- which relies on the same spread offense principles seen throughout college -- but did so without a true passing threat except as a gimmick. White should play about a series or two a game, and it will be fascinating to see how it plays out. (Note too it also eliminates all the injury fears common to going full-spread-to-run in the pros: if White got hurt they still have their starting quarterback.) Video below on the wildcat. Now add the passing element.
It begins.
9 comments:
Why does a "Spread" dual Threat QB give you an advantage vs. a non spread dual threat qb? Isn't it the dual threat of the qb itself the thing that puts the defense in the bind and not whether there are lets say two TE and 2 Wides vs. 4 wides (or whatever you'd like)?
Hey! Looks like there's a chance that this is going to happen sooner than I expected, if perhaps incrementally.
Anonymous, I don't think the QB coming from a spread offense offers an advantage individually. It's just that the spread maximizes the advantage a dual threat brings.
A dual threat QB in pro is easier to account for because there is less ground for defenders to cover, while staying in position to make a play on the ball.
wheaton4prez, I don't follow exactly. How does the spread maximizes the advantage? I guess it would quality personel for attacking downfield, where you would want a saftey. Rather than TE's or running backs who are not as much of a downfield threat?
Even in this example however its simply a tradeoff because your threats might not be as accomplished reciever but the bigger tE's/Rb's are better Biggger blockers forcing you to play with bigger stronger runstoppers, who inturn are less skilled in pass coverage.
And how is there less ground to cover in the pro(something to do with hashmarks)?
Regarding the spread debate and the NFL -- You might want to point out the utility of cost/benefit analysis in making decisions about offensive and defensive philosophy.
So much of the discussion about whether any particular strategy will "work" should be dependent on properly identifying the goal. Is the goal to win a championship or is it to enable a less-talented team to be more competitive?
A blitz happy defense may well get destroyed by the best team in the league. But it may well provide a better chance for an upset against a mediocre team. Randle-El may be the best choice to QB Indiana where broken plays may provide the best chance for a big play. Probably not for USC.
Some NFL teams may need a mobile QB to be effective and see the risk of injury as worthwhile. I doubt the Colts or Patriots are looking for ways to get their QBs more rushing attempts (other than kneeldowns).
Sorry for not being clear. I was meaning the pro-set formation rather than "the pros." Of course, the field is the same size in the pros. :)
I think Chris has already explained the advantages of the spread better than I can, in other posts. In general, by putting more receivers out toward the sidelines, you are forcing more defensive players to have to account for those areas of the field, away from where the QB is. In the pro-set, the offense is more bunched together. So, it's easier for a defender to be assigned to the QB and also remain in position to make a play against other runs/passes.
In short, the spread forces a defender to be more dedicated to the QB than they would need to be against a pro-set dual-threat QB.
How much greater is the injury risk, really? It seems to me that most of the recent NFL QB injuries, like Tom Brady's, came when they were standing in a traditional pocket.
As a runner, an NFL QB can use the slide rule to avoid injury. The rules protect QB's in so many ways that I think the conventional wisdom about injury risks needs to be re-examined.
(But I'm just a fan, not a coach at any level.)
I've begun to wonder myself if some coach and GM will see the light in the near future and start to implement more spread-to-run components in the future. With great QBs so hard to find and athletic guys who can play QB a bit becoming more and more common, why not use that money that some would spend on a franchise QB and spread it among 2-3 spread QBs and rotate them in and out like receivers. Granted, roster space is limited but most teams carry at least 2 QBs anyways and these players could double as receivers like Seneca Wallace or Pat White.
Fact is, QBs are getting hurt anyways and usually from blindside hits from pass rushers. At least this way, risk would be divvied up amongst several players and they wouldn't simply be sitting ducks for the DL. It seems ridiculous to me how so many teams throw gobs of money at QBs who obviously aren't upper echelon anyways.
- Coach Hoover said...
I see the Pat White and the Wildcat as being a tremendous 4 Minute Offense this year as well as a great change of pace for the Dolphins. Pat White could start a new trend: the "closer / relief pitcher" in football.
- Ted Seay said...
Chris: You realize, of course, that Homer Smith predicted the rise of the dual-threat QB years ago...

Day 168: Incomplete as Postponement
Day 169: Incomplete as Postponement Part 2
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to within and as the postponement character – which I began when I was a child – to accept and allow one thought/image which I followed and accepted as a sort of alternate reality within me, where I so much feared that I was missing out on something – because I wasn't able to 'do what I wanted to do' which was play with my friends because of the chores my mom gave me to do – that within myself I accepted and allowed a pattern where I hurried through and did a half ass job just so I could get to doing 'what I wanted to do', and how within that self-accepted pattern I quickly became comfortable with myself as the postponement character, thus throughout my life I have hurried through specific tasks so that I could just 'get done' so I could go do what 'I wanted to do' and as that, I wasn't aware of how I followed a thought/image further into and as my mind and imagined how long it would take for me to complete whatever task was 'supposedly' keeping me from doing 'what I wanted to do', and how I would imagine how the task and/or the 'negative' experience was going to play out and then within my mind, I would change up the whole scenario and imagine myself has having the complete opposite experience of myself, one that would create a positive energy feeling within me, and all the while I would be hurrying up to complete the task so that I could have a feel good experience which I had already played out within my mind, and within all that, I never realized that I was actually postponing who I am within every aspect of who I am and who I have become because not once did I take self-responsibility for myself and for who and how I exist as within abd as our current world/money system.
When and as I see myself becoming the postponement character where within my mind I am busy in thoughts and in my imagination seeing and comparing different ways and scenarios of how I may or may not experience myself as either positive or negative, I stop, I breathe.
I commit myself see, realize and understand that accepting and allowing myself to participate in thoughts/images and imagination where I create a positive and/or negative experience, is nothing more than me entertaining me as my mind with energy and thus, never actually existing here in awareness of me in/as breath practically, physically walking and contributing in any way within and as what is real here as my physical body and physical reality/world/existence.
I commit myself to stop who I have existed as as the postponement character because I see, realize and understand that I will remain exactly who I am as my mind until I make the decision to face myself and take self-responsibility for who and what I have become, as what i have existed as within, and thus have manifested as our outer world/reality/existence, thus, in order to change the abuse within and as our/my world/reality/existence, requires that I first change me within in and as self-honesty.
When and as I see myself becoming the postponement character where within my mind I'm reliving the memory where I've defined myself according to the words; 'girls just wanna have fun', I stop, I breathe – I see realize and understand that I have taken the idea of life as being and having fun to a level that is not only unrealistic but is actually the edge of insanity, insanity that can be witnessed throughout our world, where while we're demanding to have our fun and existing in our self-absorbed mind/physical world, we completely ignore the massive amount of abuse and turmoil that thousands upon thousands of children/animals/people are living with daily – which puts a whole new perspective on how far we will go just so we can entertain ourselves as our mind no matter the extent of suffering all around us within and as our world/reality/existence. I commit myself to stop.

Food Market
January 16 @ 1:00 pm - 6:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 1:00 pm on Thursday, repeating indefinitely
Event Navigation
Rather than the traditional food bank model that provides a box of predetermined food items, the Food Market at HOPE House allows clients the dignity of choosing what they receive through an innovative choice-based, bucks-based system. Much like going to the grocery store with a budget, clients walk through the aisles selecting the food – including fresh produce and meat – which appeals to the individual or family's needs, while also learning how to budget and prioritize food needs through mentorship. HOPE House allocates separate points for infant care and hygiene products so there is no trade-off between food and other provisions.
To register please email email@example.com or come in to see Bob in person. Already a registered member of HOPE House? Please call 519-265-4299 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to make an appointment.

Dan Barker / Fort Morgan Times
Dan Barker / Fort Morgan Times
Friends, family and colleagues came together to thank Brenda Zion for all her work as the executive director of OneMorgan County on Friday at the United Methodist Church.
She has worked in that position for more than five years, a time when the organization evolved from a grant-funded startup to a fledgling non-profit on to a well-established community resource, said Greg Wagers, chairman of the board of directors for OneMorgan County.
Zion was recognized for her successes at the local, state and national levels during her tenure, he noted.
Despite all the honors she has received, she has not concentrated on herself.
"It's never been about Brenda," Wagers said, she's been all about the work, building the organization and strengthening the community.
That process of strengthening the community is what OneMorgan County's efforts are all about, he said.
Zion said she will be taking some time to be with her family, and help her husband with his oilfield business, but she is not done with immigrant integration.
She plans to work with Eric Ishiwata, a professor of ethnic studies and political science at Colorado State University, to document the immigration story of Morgan County, which has seen several waves of immigrants over more than 100 years.
Immigration in Morgan County began with Europeans and moved on to Germans from Russia, Danes who came to pick potatoes, a group of Italian families, Latino immigrants from various countries, some Japanese and now East Africans.
Such a document could be valuable for the field of immigrant integration in rural areas, Zion said.
Ishiwata approached Zion last summer. He has done international work on immigration, and he wanted to know about immigration in Colorado.
He plans a sabbatical in which he will work on the project, Zion said.
One form of documentation would be something like a narrative of Morgan County's immigrant history, and another one would be at an academic level, she said.
Part of the project would be documenting what made the various people migrate to Morgan County, and how their religion and food shaped the area.
That could also document how people handled newcomers, such as a German book burning that happened in Fort Morgan and a separate theater where Mexican immigrants had to watch movies when they were banned from the community theater.
That will be balanced with the positive sides, too, Zion said.
Also, Zion said she will continue working on immigrant integration, although from the volunteer perspective now.

The lights are still off for Spidey on Broadway.
Script re-writes and and changes in production have delayed the opening of Julie Taymor's big-budget production, Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark, reports the New York Times.
The play was set to open on January 11, but is now expected to debut in February, which will allow for "further rewrites to the dialogue and consider adding and cutting scenes and perhaps inserting new music from the composers, U2's Bono and the Edge, who will resume working full-time on the show in late December," the Times said.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The $65 million show, the most expensive musical every produced and one of the most anticipated Broadway shows in years, has been plagued with problems almost from its inception. There was a struggle to raise money, additional rehearsal time was needed for the cast, and the technological aspects of the production had to be reconsidered after the first public preview in November had to be stopped several times.
Currently, the writers are reconsidering the play's second act, which marks a sharp departure from Spider Man's traditional origin story. Taymor and Bono have created the bulk of Act II and will attempt to reconcile their vision with the comic book hero's back story.

About the Artist
Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was as controversial as he was successful in his time. His works were often criticized for being too sensual and erotic, and his symbolism too deviant. Today, they are regarded as some of the most important paintings ever to come out of Vienna. After an early impressionist phase, Klimt came under the influence of symbolism and art nouveau. During this time he was a prominent member of the Vienna Secession. His own mature style, manifested in large allegorical paintings as well as in female portraits, combined a linear construction with a hint of modernity that links him with the following generation of expressionists.
Inspired by Gustav Klimt's The Tree of Life (1909), this metallic-printed trinket box is ideal for storing small keepsakes or jewelry.

Brian Roberts- 1968 Volkswagen Beetle
It's not your father's Volkswagen. Well, actually it sort of is. Brian Roberts, 24, bought his classic navy Bug a few months ago in part because his father owned one when he was Brian's age.
"It's kind of a cool little car," says Roberts. "It turns heads wherever you go."
It's also a hot car, i.e., no air conditioning. Roberts is very forgiving of his vehicle's warts. "It's not real fast; it doesn't stop on a dime. You have to be patient."
On the other hand, it gets about 35 miles per gallon. "I'm not complaining about that at all," says Roberts.
And everybody loves a Punch Buggy. "That's another cool thing," he says. "I see people punch each other when I drive by."

NEWARK (AP) - U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg does not plan to be there when delegates and lobbyists fete him at a party at the Democratic National Convention.
A spokesman for the 88-year-old senator from New Jersey tells The Star-Ledger (http://bit.ly/PYqrSI ) that Lautenberg has 'personal plans' for Tuesday.
He plans to arrive at the convention in Charlotte, N.C. on Wednesday.
At least well-known New Jersey Democrats have explored running for Lautenberg's seat in 2014. One is state Senate President Stephen Sweeney. The other is Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who is scheduled to speak at the convention Tuesday night.
Lautenberg has not announced any plans to step aside.

Adventist World Radio Opens
Armenian Stations
Two new Adventist World Radio (AWR) FM stations in Armenia will connect with residents of the world's oldest official Christian country, church media officials say.
AWR recently began broadcasting programs in Armenian, the latest in a lineup of more than 100 languages offered by the radio arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. A radio station in the capital city of Yerevan and another in Vanadzor will carry programming on spirituality, health, and family.
"Many young people are moving to the capital for jobs and education, and the nation is facing hard economic times, especially in the villages and small towns," says Vigen Khachatryan, media center director for the church's Trans-Caucasus Union Mission, based in Tbilisi, Georgia.
"Radio programs can help the church's outreach efforts in Armenia," Khachatryan says, adding that the historically Christian nation is more open to spiritual issues than many secular European countries.
Knarik Petrosyan, a student at Yerevan State University, is heading up a production team from a studio built by AWR. The team includes businessman Tigran Stepanyan, who serves as presenter and programmer, and the entire Mkhitaryan family. Hovik is a journalist, and his wife, Gegecik, is a teacher. Their son, Joseph, is 10 years old. The family has broadcast experience from their involvement with earlier radio work in Vanadzor.
"The most challenging problems in Armenia are smoking, alcohol, decrease of family values, atheism, and poverty," Khachatryan says. "Our programs will offer hope, help in overcoming secularism, [addressing] more complete family principles, [and offering] assistance with stopping smoking and drinking, and more."
Within the next few months Armenian programming will also be available online—on demand at awr.org and as podcasts through awr.org and iTunes. AWR officials say online access is particularly valuable, as there are more than 4 million Armenians living outside of their home country.
Armenia is home to a population of some 2.5 million people, about 800 of whom are Adventist church members.

The information in this chapter is for reference to highlight the integration points between BI Publisher and the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition.
You may need to reference this information in the following scenarios:
You are upgrading from a 10g release to the 11g release
You are running a separate installation of BI Publisher and wish to integrate it
You need to modify the installed configuration
The points of integration discussed in this chapter are:
Connecting to Oracle BI Server as a data source
Configuring BI Publisher to use the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog
Configuring integration with Oracle BI Presentation Services
Oracle BI Publisher must be installed on the same server with the other components of Oracle BI Enterprise Edition.
The security configuration must be either Oracle Fusion Middleware security or Oracle BI Server security.
To manually configure BI Publisher to use the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, perform the following:
On the Server Configuration page in the Catalog region, select Catalog Type: Oracle BI EE Catalog
Enter the following:
Server Version - v6
System Username
Enter BISystemUser
BISystemUser is a fixed user created during installation for trusted communication between components.
System Password
Enter the password for BISystemUser.
Connection Protocol - TCP
Click Test Connection to ensure BI Publisher can connect to Oracle BI Presentation Services.
Enter the path of the current BI Publisher repository.
Click Upload to BI Presentation Catalog. This will upload the contents of your BI Publisher catalog to the BI Presentation catalog.
Restart the BI Publisher application.
When you install Oracle BI Enterprise Edition the integration with BI Publisher is automatically configured. This means that the Oracle BI Platform installer sets the Presentation Services hostname, port, and URL suffix values. Furthermore, the username and password fields will be hidden because both products will be configured to use Oracle Fusion Middleware security.
From the Administration page, under Integration, click Oracle BI Presentation Services.
Enter the following information about your BI Presentation Services server:
Server Protocol - select http or https
Server Version - select v6
Server - enter the server host name. For example: BIEEServer
Port for the server where the BI Presentation Services plug-in is running. For example: 9704
Administrator Username and Password - these fields will be hidden when using Oracle Fusion Middleware Security. If you are manually configuring the integration, enter the BISystemUser username and password.
URL Suffix - default value is: analytics/saw.dll
Note: If your deployment is configured for SSO, the suffix must be entered as "analytics-ws/saw.dll" to allow the Web services between BI Publisher and BI Presentation Services. For more information on configuring SSO for Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
Session time out in minutes
Note: If you installed BI Publisher with the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition, this data source will be automatically configured.
To add the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition server as a JDBC data source, follow the guidelines in Adding a JDBC Data Source in conjunction with these specific guidelines.
You must use the BISystemUser user name and password for connection to the BI Server.
Note that if your Oracle BI Server is SSL-enabled, you must copy the keystore to the BI Publisher server and provide it in the connection string.
The entries for Database Driver Class and Connection String must be as follows:
Database Driver Class: oracle.bi.jdbc.AnaJdbcDriver
Connection String: The appropriate connection string depends on your specific deployment. Clustered and SSL-enabled deployments require specific parameters to construct the URL. For example, if your Oracle BI Server is SSL-enabled, you must copy the keystore to the BI Publisher server and provide it in the connection string. For more information on SSL, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide for Business Intelligence.
The URL for the connection string requires the following format:
<URL>:= <Prefix>: [//<Host>:<Port>/][<Property Name>=<Property Value>;]*
<Prefix>: is the string jdbc:oraclebi
<Host>: is the hostname of the analytics server. It can be an IP Address or hostname. The default is localhost.
<Port> is he port number that the server is listening on. The default is 9703.
<Property Name>:= <Catalog>|<User>|<Password>|<SSL>|<SSLKeyStoreFileName> |<SSLKeyStorePassword>|<TrustAnyServer>|<TrustStoreFileName >|<TrustStorePassword>|<LogLevel>|<LogFilePath>|<PrimaryCCS>|<PrimaryCCSPort>| <SecondaryCCS>|<SecondaryCCSPort>
Valid property values are:
<Catalog> - can be any catalog name that is available on the server. If the catalog is not specified, then it will default to the default catalog specified by the server. If the catalog name is not found in the server, it will still use the default catalog and issue a warning during connect.
<User> - specifies the username for the BI Server. The default is "Administrator".
<Password> - specifies the password for the BI Server for the username. The password will be encrypted using 3DES.
<SSL> True|False - default is False. Specifies if the JDBC driver will use SSL or not. If true, the driver will check if SSLKeyStoreFileName is readable; if not, it will issue an error message.
<SSLKeyStoreFileName> - the name of the file that store the SSL Keys. This file must exist in the local file system and be readable by the driver.
<SSLKeyStorePassword> - the password to open the file pointed to by SSLKeyStoreFileName.
<TrustAnyServer> - True | False - the default is False. If SSL is set to "True" the property specifies whether to check the trust store for the server. If TrustAnyServer is set to "False", the driver will verify that TrustStoreFileName is readable.
<TrustStoreFileName> - if TrustAnyServer is set to false, this property is required to specify the trust store file name.
<TrustStorePassword> - if TrustAnyServer and TrustStoreFileName are specified, this property specifies the password to open up the file specified by TrustStoreFileName.
<LogLevel> - specify the log level. Valid values are
<LogFilePath> - specifies the file path of the desired logging destination. Default is %TEMP% on windows, $TMP on UNIX. Driver needs to have write permission on the file. It will create a new entry marked as _0, _1 if the same file name already exists.
<PrimaryCCS> -(For clustered configurations) specifies the primary CCS machine name instead of using the "host" to connect. If this property is specified, the "host" property value is ignored. The jdbc driver will try to connect to the CCS to obtain the load-balanced machine. Default is localhost.
<PrimaryCCSPort> - specifies the primary CCS port number running on the PrimaryCCS machine. Default is 9706.
<SecondaryCCS> - specifies the secondary CCS machine name instead of using the "host" to connect. If this property is specified, then the jdbc driver will try to connect to the CCS to obtain the load-balanced machine. Default is localhost.
<SecondaryCCSPort> - specifies the secondary CCS port number running on the secondary machine. Default is 9706.
Following is an example connection string for a clustered deployment with SSL enabled:
Use Proxy Authentication - (Required) select this box. Proxy authentication is required.

Al-Qaeda leader killed in Afghanistan
A senior al Qaeda leader and another member of the terrorist network were killed in a security operation by Afghan and coalition forces, NATO said Tuesday.
The US-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan said Saudi-born Sakhr al-Taifi, also known as Musthaq and Nasim, commanded foreign fighters and directed attacks on NATO and Afghan troops.
It described him as Al-Qaeda's "second highest leader in Afghanistan", saying he frequently travelled between Afghanistan and Pakistan, "carrying out commands from senior Al-Qaeda leadership".
He also supplied weapons and equipment to insurgents, and managed the transport of insurgent fighters into Afghanistan, the military said.
NATO said he was killed in an air strike on Sunday with "one additional Al-Qaeda terrorist in Watahpur district, Kunar province" which borders Pakistan.
The United States announced last year that it would focus military operations in Afghanistan towards the eastern provinces, which border Pakistan's lawless tribal belt where US officials say Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked militants have sanctuary.
Nato forces are in Afghanistan helping the Western-backed government fight a bloody, Taliban-led insurgency following the US-led invasion shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for the last hour or so and thought it might make a good discussion. There's been a ton about this in the Q & A here, Eric Enge's interview with Matt Cutts from 2010 (http://www.stonetemple.com/articles/interview-matt-cutts-012510.shtml) said one thing and Barry Schwartz seemed to say another: http://searchengineland.com/google-pagerank-dilution-through-a-301-redirect-is-a-myth-149656
Is this all just semantics? Are all of these people really saying the same thing and have they been saying the same thing ever since 2010? Cyrus Shepherd shed a little light on things in this post when he said that it seemed people were confusing links and 301-redirects and viewing them as being the same things, when they really aren't. He wrote "here's a huge difference between redirecting a page and linking to a page." I think he is the only writer who is getting down to the heart of the matter. But I'm still in a fog.
In this video from April, 2011, Matt Cutts states very clearly that "There is a little bit of pagerank that doesn't pass through a 301-redirect." continuing on to say that if this wasn't the case, then there would be a temptation to 301-redirect from one page to another instead of just linking.
VIDEO - http://youtu.be/zW5UL3lzBOA
So it seems to me, it is not a myth that 301-redirects result in loss of pagerank.
In this video from February 2013, Matt Cutts states that "The amount of pagerank that dissipates through a 301 is currently identical to the amount of pagerank that dissipates through a link."
VIDEO - http://youtu.be/Filv4pP-1nw
Again, Matt Cutts is clearly stating that yes, a 301-redirect dissipates pagerank.
Now for the "myth" part. Apparently the "myth" was about how much pagerank dissipates via a 301-redirect versus a link.
Here's where my head starts to hurt:
Does this mean that when Page A links to Page B it looks like this:
A -----> ( reduces pagerank by about 15%)-------> B (inherits about 85% of Page A's pagerank if no other links are on the page
But say the "link" that exists on Page A is no longer good, but it's still the original URL, which, when clicked, now redirects to Page B via a URL rewrite (301 redirect)....based on what Matt Cutts said, does the pagerank scenario now look like this:
A (with an old URL to Page B) ----- ( reduces pagerank by about 15%) -------> URL rewrite (301 redirect) - Reduces pagerank by another 15% --------> B (inherits about 72% of Page A's pagerank if no other links are on the page)
Forgive me, I'm not a mathematician, so not sure if that 72% is right?
It seems to me, from what Matt is saying, the only way to avoid this scenario would be to make sure that Page A was updated with the new URL, thereby avoiding the 301 rewrite?
I recently had to re-write 18 product page URLs on a site and do 301 redirects. This was brought about by our hosting company initiating rules in the back end that broke all of our custom URLs. The redirects were to exactly the same product pages (so, highly relevant). PageRank tanked on all 18 of them, hard. Perhaps this is why I am diving into this question more deeply.
I am really interested to hear your point of view

In Destined to Win, Kris Vallotton explored the topic of discovering our true destinies and finding out who we truly are in Christ. He stated that we are His inheritance, His child, family, apple of His eye, and He will protect you from your enemies. He shared about how we are supposed to proactively care for our souls from the inside out and the power of love. He also looked at how we can benefit from having Godly counsel in our lives. He came up with seven helpful core values and seven relationship definitions. He also discussed about how we must build healthy boundaries and not try and become the Savior of the world and please everyone.
I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is ready to discover their destiny and purpose in life. I liked how this book covered multiple different aspects of what our destiny encompasses. Kris did an excellent job at looking at who we are in Christ and he reminded readers of this. I liked how he included many scripture verses that conveyed what Christ wants us to know. One of my favorite topics was about how he discussed the lie about how time heals our wounds. He revealed the only real way to true freedom is to change the way we think about the past and the pain. We always find healing in forgiving people who hurt us. This prevents them from having power over our lives. This will immensely help us to have more peace and happiness when we are living in our destiny.

A couple interesting stories made headlines over the last week or so. GM announced that it's going to cease buying Facebook ads. Shopify (a provider of back-end e-commerce services for e-tailers) released an infographic about increases in sales driven by Pinterest.
By now, we all know that the hard sell doesn't work in social media. Additionally, audience patience with advertising is also wearing thin. So is it a surprise that Facebook isn't a great vehicle for selling cars? Probably not.
Facebook is for socializing. The whole point of Facebook is interacting with the people in your network—posting updates, reading links they share, and maybe playing a game. Sure, there's an element to discovery, backed with personal recommendations from the social graph. But really, people are on Facebook mainly to hang out and catch up with each other.
That is not the case with Pinterest. At its core, Pinterest is for discovery. A large portion of the pins are aspirational: clothes the pinners want to buy, home decorating ideas they want to try, cakes they want to make, places they would like to visit.
In other words, it's a lead funnel created by the users themselves.
The data released by Shopify is revealing, and one fact in particular stood out to me: Pins that included a price drew 36 percent more "likes" than those without. Pinterest feels like it's becoming a consumer search engine of sorts. Like search engines, on which advertising is a proven model, Pinterest is used by people who are actively in the process of seeking. They're not just hanging out. As the Shopify data reveals, Pinterest users are likely to act.
Content marketers and PR pros can learn a lot from these two contrasting situations. The primary lesson seems clear—there's a time and a place for promotional messages, and there's a time and a place for attracting audience and fostering attention. Pinterest and search engines are the former. Facebook, blogs, and community sites are the latter.
Audience intention
When thinking about messaging and networks, it's crucial to consider the audiences' intentions. Why are those people there? What are they expecting to derive from their time spent on a particular network? Getting a handle on the answer to these questions is the first step in planning a message strategy that will garner results.
Drilling deeper into the question of audience intention, one also needs to consider audience qualification. There's an enormous difference in the level of interest expressed when you compare a person who became a fan of your brand on Facebook six months ago, and the person who is rapidly accumulating pictures of different beaches and resorts on a pinboard titled "Vacation Planning 2012." One probably needs more cultivation. The other is probably close to buying. They have self-identified as a hot prospect.
Adjusting the message to the buying cycle
From a message strategy, communicators need to think about not just different types of content, but what sorts of outcomes they need to inspire, and what sort of calls to action they need to include.
On Facebook, a beachfront resort operator can spark interest, build visibility, and gain mindshare by sharing a steady stream of interesting vacation and travel related content.
On Pinterest, the data suggest the point of sale is closer, especially since inclusion of a price has been correlated positively with buying behaviors. Posting pictures of beachfront villas with weekly pricing is likely to convert lookers to guests on Pinterest. The same message on Facebook would be obnoxious.
These aren't fine distinctions. Facebook and Pinterest are dramatically different networks, and the difference is most stark when you consider user intent. Failing to understand and take these differences into account can doom a communications campaign.

Always-On Internet Connectivity
ServerIron Link Balancer ensures uninterrupted Internet connectivity by
providing intelligent load balancing with continuous link health monitoring. In
the event of a link outage or degradation, the Link Balancer provides detection
and rapid fail-over for traffic to the other available ISP links. The Link
Balancer detects failures and performance degradations on ISP links before the
Enterprise hosts, and takes corrective action by switching over to links best
able to serve the traffic. Two ServerIrons deployed in high-availability
configuration provide 24x7 Internet connectivity to Enterprise clients even
during catastrophic failures. In the event that one device fails, the standby
device transparently takes over without disrupting traffic flows. The
ServerIron's extensive link health check capability monitors end-to-end
Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 7 connectivity, and determines the links'
ability to quickly respond to client requests. Health checks also ensure fast
detection of link problems and eliminate lengthy manual troubleshooting during
Maximum Scalability
The Link Balancer combines the feature rich link load balancing with the
high-performance ServerIron architecture to meet the Internet connectivity needs
of most Enterprise customers. It can support line-rate link balancing for up to
six T3 or two OC3 links.
Easy to Set Up and Manage
ServerIron Link Balancer is simple to configure and manage using the Command
Line Interface (CLI) or the built-in Web interface. The CLI uses well-known
Cisco-like commands allowing network administration staff to easily configure
all Foundry products. In addition, ServerIron's support for Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) allows device management using applications such as
HP OpenView, available on major server platforms including Sun Solaris, HP-UX,and
Windows NT.
Key Features
Out-Bound Link Balancing- ServerIron provides out-bound load
balancing for any type of IP application traffic, and handles link balancing on
up to six T3 or two OC3 links.Traffic belonging to a connection is routed to the
same link based on session information to achieve reliable and persistent
service. IntelliNAT (Intelligent Network Address Translation) is used to secure
internal network while ensuring the return packets are routed back through the
same ISP link for consistent connection performance.
In-Bound Link Balancing
- Incoming traffic into an Enterprise network
is load balanced to multiple ISP links. Using passive DNS intercept in
combination with intelligent load balancing algorithms, the ServerIron
re-directs in-coming traffic over all available links to achieve optimal
Link Balancing Methods
- To meet the diverse demands of
Foundry's Enterprise customers, the ServerIron Link Balancer supports a
comprehensive set of user-configurable static and dynamic link metrics for
intelligent load balancing. By fine-tuning the metrics, network administrators
can optimize performance and cost of Internet service to meet the needs of
specific deployment.
Pro-Active Measurement of Link
Performance - The ServerIron Link
Balancer uses a pro-active approach to measuring link performance for effective
load balancing of traffic. In-band measurement of end-to-end service response
time during connection setup is combined with pro-active out-of-band measures to
pick the links that deliver the best overall performance.
High Availability
- Foundry's ServerIron devices are designed
to support mission-critical business applications. To provide a high-level of
redundancy and fault tolerance to the Link Balancer, two ServerIron devices can
be deployed in high-availability configuration with session synchronization and
transparent failover for total Internet access reliability.
Real-Time Synchronization
- Session information and link
performance measures are synchronized in real-time between the two ServerIron
devices configured for high availability to maintain consistently high load
balancing performance in the event of failover to the standby device. Stateful
connection failover and instantaneous availability of link performance
information allows Enterprise users to be fully transparent to network failures.

The Shield Act fails to protect free software from patents
On August 1st, 2012, the Saving High-Tech Innovators from Egregious Legal Disputes Act, or SHIELD Act[PDF], was introduced to Congress by Representatives Peter DeFazio and Jason Chaffetz. This act is meant to deal with the problem of patent trolls destroying software businesses. The bill would enable victims of patent trolling to have their costs covered if the judge decides that the plaintiff was not likely to succeed on their claims. While many are hailing the bill for fighting against patent trolls, it does not go far enough for us to support it, and it carries some risks that concern us.
The bill defines a software patent as "any process that could be implemented in a computer regardless of whether a computer is specifically mentioned in the patent or ... any computer system that is programmed to perform a process described [above]." It then goes on to state that nothing in the bill is meant to affect the scope of patentable subject matter. This is really a lost opportunity to once and for all end the entire software patent mess. The bill might help large corporations avoid costly litigation or settlements, but it does nothing to alleviate the problem for the free software community. The bill works to diminish a harm for some that it could simply remove for all.
Even if the SHIELD Act does succeed in blocking patent trolls, the software patent system would continue to threaten the free software community. Developers would still have to worry about the threat of patent lawsuits. Companies would still be able to use the threat of a patent to abuse and manipulate others into either costly settlements or into not developing much-needed free software. The free software community would still have to waste time and resources trying to avoid or defend against the software patent minefield. Removing a few mines from the field won't change this calculation, since stepping on a single mine is so devastating.
The bill attempts to patch a broken system without questioning whether that system is harmful to begin with. This carries the unfortunate consequence of possibly prolonging the damage wrought by software patents. Any reform to reduce the risk of "bad" patents risks entrenching a false notion of "good" software patents. We are also concerned that legislation like this would make judges more sympathetic to patent claims, since the risks for anyone initiating the claims would be greater. In software, the problem is not limited to bad patents, frivolous claims, or patent trolls -- the problem is that patents exist at all.
The scope of patentable subject matter is defined legislatively, but if the bill passes then the legislature will have punted on this most important issue. We encourage Congress to end software patents, and to legislate that computer-based implementations should be immunized from patent infringement claims. That would be a real shield for all software developers.

In mid-January, a Facebook friend liked a status update, causing it to pop up in my News Feed; I've been avidly following its thread ever since. Now at 675 comments and counting, this rich exchange encapsulates the increasing importance of the art-related discourse that takes place on Facebook, and its precarity.
Los Angeles-based artist, writer, curator, and educator Micol Hebron initiated this conversation with a simple request:
Facebookers, what do you think of this: artist Joe Scanlan, an older white male artist, invented a fictional artist, Donelle Woolford, who is female, black, and seems a bit younger than he is. Scanlan hires actresses to 'play' Donelle for pictures and interviews, and he makes the artwork that she 'makes'. He began this project about 13 years ago. Donelle Woolford is in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. Here is an interview with Scanlan by Jeremy Sigler. Is this racism? Conceptual performance? Critical discourse on artworld hierarchies? Problematic exploitation? Discuss.
Critics, artists, former students, and, often, Scanlan himself responded, generating a thorough critique of the artist's practice, meaningful discussion about race and gender in contemporary art today, and a crowdsourced bibliography. Strikingly, its ebb and flow mimicked the public dialogue around Scanlan/Woolford in the art press—from curiosity (many had no idea of the project at the outset) to confrontation (stoked anew in May by The Yams' public withdrawal from the Biennial in protest), all in a slow burn. The texture and depth of this response evidenced Facebook's specific ability (for better and worse) to produce engaged networks and make visible their interactions.

Big opportunities, big risks, big headaches.
All three loom as gas and oil producers, utilities, politicians, voters and others at all levels wrestle to impose a sense of order on an energy sector boom that's expected to reshape the economic landscape not only in British Columbia, but around the world.
Over the last five years, sophisticated new methods of drilling for natural gas have opened up vast new reserves in North America, and this technology will lessen the control a handful of non-democratic nations have had on the global gas supply.
Senior analysts are suggesting the emergence of a global trade in liquefied natural gas, or LNG, will even weaken the grip Saudi Arabia and other producers have over the world price of oil, as gas becomes a popular and efficient substitute.
British Columbia could play a role in that shift, but it won't be easy.
Gas that was $14 US a unit on North American bulk commodity markets in 2005 — amid expectations that North America was running out of gas — is today about $2.50 a unit. The B.C. government's natural gas royalty revenues have plunged from a record $1.9 billion for fiscal 2005-06 to a projected $381 million in 2011-12.
Across Canada, total gas industry revenue has plummeted to $10 billion a year from $50 billion over the same time period thanks to a continentwide production glut.
The key to rebuilding that revenue is cultivating export markets in small, resource-poor, industry-rich nations such as Japan and South Korea — which look at natural-gas generation as the most reliable alternative to more risky nuclear power.
In late 2011, Japan was paying $17 US per unit for import LNG, which is why producers such as Encana, Apache and Shell are anxious to get B.C. gas onto tankers headed for Asia.
So far, six LNG export projects have been proposed, concentrating mostly at the deepsea port of Kitimat.
Beyond natural gas
In B.C.'s energy sector, natural gas is just one part of a complex debate.
Also in the mix are BC Hydro's proposed $8-billion Site C dam on the Peace River and the controversy-laden application by Calgary's Enbridge to build an oil pipeline that would carry synthetic crude from Alberta's oilsands across B.C. to Kitimat for international delivery. All the discussions are manifestations of big, expensive changes sweeping the energy sector around the world.
North America's electricity transmission grid alone, for example, needs at least $1 trillion in new investment by 2030.
Muriel McGrath, power and utilities section leader for KPMG Canada, calculates an average Canadian worker will need to pay at least $850 per year to support electricity infrastructure development through 2030.
Peter Tertzakian, chief energy economist at ARC Financial Corp., perceives the changes as the biggest in at least half a century.
"The 1950s and '60s was the era where our oil and gas industry started to grow in a meaningful way and the investment in infrastructure really started to take off. Those were the years where the big pipelines were built, post World War Two, as North America began to industrialize, mobilize, urbanize, get wealthy, that whole dynamic," Tertzakian said from his Calgary office.
"Really massive changes are going to continue throughout this decade," he continues. "By the end of the decade you're going to see a completely new set of supply chains and infrastructure put into place that reflect all these changes."
BC Hydro has always given B.C. an edge in electricity trade with the U.S. because its hydroelectric facilities can respond more quickly to price increases on trading markets compared to thermal plants fired by gas or coal. But Tertzakian said B.C. has the potential for a huge competitive advantage in gas exports over Pacific Rim competitors such as Australia and the U.S.
"We have had to endure low gas prices here for now probably four years and especially the last year. It has made our Canadian gas industry, and certainly the industry in B.C., lean and mean. We've had to use innovative processes, have a lot of cost discipline — so we will enter that market as one of the lower-cost producers. The Australians' costs are out of control. They're effectively going through what the oilsands went through in 2005 to 2008, from what I can read," Tertzakian said.
B.C. has a significant geographic advantage over American gas producers, who tend to be located east of the Rocky Mountains.
"We're way closer," he said.
"They have to go down through the Panama Canal, the bulge of the equator, and all the way up. We have at least a $2-per-unit advantage. We should be making hay out of that."Canadian gas producers are making almost nothing by selling into an over-supplied U.S. market, but without LNG facilities the gas is essentially stranded in North America. Tertzakian said offshore buyers are willing to pay higher prices for a secure energy supply and perceive natural gas as a lower-emission replacement for coal-fired generation.
"This industry at the moment is dying," Tertzakian said. "That is why these LNG terminals are so consequential. Not only is it dying, it's also the fuel of the future in terms of mitigating carbon emissions. So what sense does that make — give it away for free and watch the business contract? Any other industry in Canada, if you were to tell people it went from $50 billion a year to $10 billion or less, it would be considered a national disaster."
Oil remains dominant
The bigger story, Tertzakian emphasized, is oil.
"It represents about 90 per cent of the revenues of the [oil and gas] industry. It's about $100 billion versus natural gas which is $10 billion."
The only market to which Alberta has access for its oilsands crude is the United States, and it's forced to sell into that market at a discount to U.S.-produced oil of the same quality. Earlier this year, that discount briefly rose above $30 a barrel and rarely drops below $15.
Enbridge and the oil companies its Northern Gateway project will support have calculated that by piping the oil to a Pacific port for transcontinental export, it can achieve price parity for its product in the U.S. and around the world.
"We're really getting shortchanged, and leaving tens of millions of dollars a day on the table that B.C. could be participating in, that all of Canada could be participating in," Tertzakian said.
"On the gas side there doesn't seem to be a lot of [pipeline] opposition and that's good, but I think we all need to recognize that it's the oil side that's really paying the freight. It represents about 90 per cent of the revenues of the industry ...
"I am very sensitive to the needs of everybody along the route, but we have to find balance and a sense of urgency — and not of complacency — in terms of our competitiveness, also recognizing how much this industry contributes to the well-being of all Canadians.
"For example, 25 per cent of the TSX is oil and gas companies, 30 per cent is finance companies like banks – but where do they get a significant portion of their revenue? It's from financing oil and gas companies. Every pension plan in this country has a weighting in Canadian oil and gas. You can't avoid it."

Nussbaumer (Nussbaum) family
Nussbaumer (Nussbaum), a Swiss Mennonite family name, first recorded as an Anabaptist family in Ichertswil, Lüterkofen district, in the Bucheggberg region of the canton of Solothurn, Switzerland. Most of the Mennonite Nussbaumers are descended from this family. Others have come from various villages in the Emmental, especially Gross Höchstetten. The Emmental family may have been the forerunners of the family in the Bucheggberg. As early as the mid-16th century Anabaptist members of this family were living near Péry in the Jura. Barbli Nussbaum of Allmendingen had to pay a fine of 100 pounds in 1563 because she was an Anabaptist. The records speak of several members of the family who had difficulties with the authorities in the early part of the 18th century for the same reason.
Members of the Nussbaumer family moved to Basel and Alsace, where they have furnished a number of ministers for the Mennonite churches. An outstanding leader of the Swiss Mennonite Conference for many years was Samuel Nussbaumer (1866-1944), Basel. His son, Hans Nussbaumer, a prominent elder in the Alsatian Mennonite churches, served as secretary of the Alsatian Conference for many years.
The first party of the 19th century, consisting of four Swiss Anabaptist families, who left their Jura homes in 1817 for America, included Hans Nussbaum, who settled in Wayne County, Ohio. Later this family moved to Ashland County, Ohio, where Hans served the Mennonite Church as a minister.
Various immigrants of this family settled in each of the 19th-century Swiss Mennonite settlements: Sonnenberg, Wayne County, Ohio; Allen-Putnam County, Ohio; and Berne, Indiana, where some became leaders in the church.

Sioux Falls Outdoor Campus Gets Groomed for Cross-Country Skiers
Wintertime outdoor activities are plentiful in the Sioux Falls area. One choice to consider is the Outdoor Campus especially for those who like the trails. It's a whole different dynamic that when the foliage is green.
Outdoor Campus Director Thea Miller Ryan has even forged an agreement with the city of Sioux Falls to groom cross-country ski trails. The Outdoor Campus is a state-run outfit, but finds in Sioux Falls a willing partner.
"They do a couple different parks here in town. There is a new grooming machine and it is laying down some great trails for the skiers."
Walkers are also welcome, but Ryan says the groomed trails should only be used by skiers.
"If people walk on the groomed trail, what happens is their foot prints go down in it. When the skiers hit those foot prints, they fall." Corresponding signs have been placed at various intervals to advise walkers to stay off the groomed trails.
Considering that it is the Outdoor Campus, there still is ample opportunity to view non-hibernating critters.
"We have so many people that post pictures (on social media) of deer very close to where they are skiing or walking. It's a great opportunity to see wildlife."

LANCER from Mitsubishi is a Compact car with a 2.0 L petrol engine.
It has four cylinders and uses Premium unleaded gasoline.
It is equipped with a continuosly variable gearbox.
Transmission: +-speed gearbox
Fuel consumption test for Mitsubishi LANCER
This car was tested both in a city and on a highway.
Fuel consumption in L / 100km
City: 8.0 liters per 100 km
Highway: 5.9 liters per 100 km
Fuel consumption in miles / gallon
City: 35 MPG
Highway: 48 MPG
Is this car economical and environmentally friendly?
This factor is measured by the value of CO2 per kilometer (car releases CO2 to the atmosphere). If the value is small than yes, car is economical. If it's big (above 300) than it will cause high petrol costs.
In case of LANCER 2.0 CO2 emission is 163 grams per kilometer.
This car has an average fuel consumption. Therefor, running costs are average as well.
Yearly fuel expenses for LANCER
If you drive 20 000 kilometers a year (that's 12 427 miles) and spend half of that time in town while other half on open road you will end up burning 1400 liters of fuel.
Multiply 1400 with a fuel price and you will end up with a yearly fuel cost. It would be around 1470 $ if you are in Canada and year is 2012 (that's when and where this tests were performed).
It's about: mitsubishi lancer fuel consumption, lancer fuel consumption, lancer ex 2 0 fuel consumption, mitsubishi lancer 2 0 fuel consumption, mitsubishi lancer ex 2 0 fuel consumption

Olafs Many Faces.
Discuss this movie. Available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Olafs Many Faces.
What kind of person would you like to see olaf dress up as next??. . . Pretend you've never read the books and use your imagination.
I think it would be funny to see him dress up as a famous actor to try and get to the kids. . . say, umm . . .Jim Carrey?
That would be funny. Kinda like Rippin' Oceans 12.
My ideas
Scrooge, Captain Bly, the villan from Peter Pan, Hook, that famous mountie - I forget his name, the one who saves Nell.
Jimenem, that's brilliant! Jim Carrey-how perfect. A little wink to the adults in the audience. I'd like to see Olaf as Santa Clause or maybe Mr. Rogers, or the equivalent. Someone the kids can identify with. He's not creating a character, he's playing someone already established.
1) Ace Ventura (or even the Liar)
2) a nice president of a nice country
3) a miller (or his son)
4) the author of the story
5) a psychoanalyst for Sunny
6) a postman
7) a coach
and so on... and so forth...
Quirky, he looks like my fiance
But we're getting married outside so no aisles just field.

It was a guy in alcohol withdrawal (or "DT's" as we say in the medical biz).
Normally I'm used to these guys seeing bugs or animals crawling all over, but today I got something, uh, different.
I went into the patient's room. He was tied down to the bed (they usually are until they start to clear).
He thought he was at a pizza joint!
He offered me pizzas of various types, thick and thin crust, various toppings. As we talked he flirted with an imaginary waitress and spoke to imaginary friends that were going in and out of the restaurant.
He also kept asking if someone would bring him some Parmesan cheese and (of course) another pitcher of beer.
