MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Even while U.S. numbers lags, vaccinations for meningitis is high in Wisconsin.
A government survey finds that about 12 percent of teens get the relatively-new vaccine.
But Wisconsin has higher compliance, in part because of a state law passed after a student died of the infection.
Wisconsin college students aren't required to get the shot, which usually costs around $90.
Craig Roberts - an epidemiologist with the University Health Services in Madison - says three-fourths of incoming freshmen are vaccinated.
Five years ago, a student attending UW-Madison died of meningitis.
Legislators in 2003 passed a law requiring post-secondary schools to tell students about the illness.
The Centers for Disease Control recently said that children as young as 11 should get the shot, which protects against 60 percent of the strains known to cause the infection.

Resin materials to be used in automobiles must possess high rigidity and high impact resistance, as well as superior recyclability — that is, they must not deteriorate easily when recycled.
Taking advantage of a molecular-design technology based on a new crystallization theory, Toyota in 1991 developed and commercialized Toyota Super Olefin Polymer (TSOP), a thermoplastic resin which has better recyclability than the conventional reinforced composite polypropylene (PP). TSOP is currently used in a wide range of interior and exterior parts in new models.
Further refinements to the molecular design of TSOP resin have made it possible to integrate three kinds of resins from 24 kinds that had, until then, been in use. Toyota has been using this improved material since September 1999.
TSOP bumpers
Toyota developed eco plastics from plant materials, which can effectively conserve natural petroleum resources and reduce CO2 emissions and first used them in Raum models' spare tire covers.
In 2008, Toyota developed new eco plastics for use in interior components, such as scuff plates and seat cushions. In fact, these new plastics are used in interior components of new Prius, HS and SAI models.
Toyota is also working on using natural kenaf plant fibers in door and package tray trim base materials.

In order to simplify the dismantling process, Toyota has adopted easy-to-dismantle vehicle structures, such as V-shaped grooves in locations where the instrument panel is to be attached to the body. In addition, an "Easy to Dismantle Mark" is added to vehicle parts, clearly indicating certain points that assist in initial dismantling. Through these measures, vehicle dismantlability has been greatly improved.
The "The Easy to Dismantle Mark"
In 1981, Toyota launched a material ID marking system to help identify materials used in resin parts. Currently, a marking system that conforms to international standards is used for resin and rubber parts.

EastIndiaComedy looks 'at India's attitude towards sex through a "government approved" sex education lecture.'
So how did the expert commentators react to Arun Jaitley's maiden budget? Some reactions from the main newspapers:
The BJP-led NDA is projected to form the government at the Centre with exit polls tonight giving between 249 and 289 seats to the Narendra Modi-led grouping, which is close to the half-way mark in the 543-member Lok Sabha.

Constitution Day forgotten among Korea's younger generationUpdated: 2014-07-17 16:28:36 KST
Do you know what day July 17th is?
No, we don't.
Do you know Constitution Day?
- No, yes?
- The day when the Constitution was made?
Do you know what day July 17th is?
I have no idea.
I've heard about it, but I don't know anything about the day.
Most of these teenagers on the street had no idea what Constitution Day is and even if they knew, very few knew it fell on July 17th.
A recent survey of some 12-thousand elementary school students shows only half fully understand what the day is all about.
A quarter didn't know what Constitution Day is, while 12 percent confused the day with other national holidays.
Since 2008, Korea's Constitution Day stopped being a national holiday, a possible reason for the lack of understanding.
So why was it removed? Simply because there were too many holidays.
And to raise awareness of the day, the Constitutional Court of Korea is opening its doors to the people.
Students attend lectures, take quizzes and try on the robes of the judges.
Through that process, they get to appreciate the significance of Constitution Day and gain a better understanding of their own basic rights.
"By coming here, I got some questions I had about the Constitution and about the court answered. It was good to come here, because I got to learn things I couldn't in school."
Experts say it's important for people and, in particular, the nation's younger generation to appreciate Constitution Day as it lays the foundation for mature citizenship.
"So, by going through the meaning of the constitution students will realize what the meaning of democracy is, rule of law and the meaning of basic rights of the citizens and basic liberties."
The court plans to hold the event every year.

|October 31
In 1887, on this day Chiang Kai-shek was born in Fenghua, a county-level city in the north of Zhejiang province, China.
Birth of Chiang Kai-shekHe led the Northern Expedition to unify the country, becoming China's nominal leader in 1926. He then served as Chairman of the National Military Council of the Nationalist government of the Republic of China from 1928 to 1948 when the country was partitioned.
Whilst the partition was a devastating setback for the Nationalist Government in Peking, responsibility for the reversal lay not with General Chiang Kai-shek himself but rather with his American allies who had struggled to grasp the full context of the conflict.
The Soviet Union had invaded Manchuria (and later Hokkaido) to defeat the Japanese, and this intervention provided a security buffer for the Chinese Communists. When the Soviets withdrew, Kai-shek's second "Northern Expedition" had been on the brink of victory. Having advanced into the outskirts of the city of Harbin, the Nationalists were on the verge of seizing the security key to the North.
Instead the "loss of north-eastern China" like so many setbacks for the country was entirely due to foreign meddling in the form of the unwelcome intervention of US Secretary of State George C. Marshall. Alarmed at the prospect of World War Three breaking out should the Soviet's intervene, he had convinced Chiang Kai-shek to agree to a ceasefire.
Marshall's actions might have headed off World World Three, but they created a conundrum for the United States. And the problem of "two Chinas" would vex American foreign policy until the mid nineteen seventies when both of the principles would die within a year of each other. By then Manchuria had been devastated by Mao's programmes which included the Great Leap Forward and also the Cultural Revolution. His successors would be forced to flee to Hokkaido, seeking refuge with the Communist Government of North Japan.

text: Greetings to all of you, This is directed to anyone who is, has or will be stewarding an event in our Barony or Kingdom. First let me start by saying "I LOVE A PARTY" just as the next person. I have been known to tie-one-on a time or two or three in my SCA career. (I do have some naked skeletons in my closet.) I am not trying to stomp on anyone's fun, stop the party, cancel any events or tell anyone not to drink at an SCA event. However…. If we are accepting money at a gate; therefore it is a SCA sanctioned event and not a private party. If it's an SCA sanctioned event then our group accident insurance comes into effect. For your reference, this appeared on our public list, in our event advertisement from the Baron and Baroness and sent by our Seneschal concerning A Lamas Day Tribute, August 17th -19th, Mustang Park, 3600 Winscott Plover Rd, Benbrook Lake, Ft Worth TX - much deleted and in part: Drink Contests: Beer/ Ale Mead Concoction By advertising a drink/drinking contest we are setting ourselves up as a group not to be covered under the SCA group insurance should there be any accidents which would be covered by our insurance. Could our Barony, Elfsea, or you personally afford to cover the any property, medical or legal costs if there is an unforeseen accident or happening where we could be held legally liable? It is generally a VERY BAD PROCEDURE and heavily frowned upon to advertise a party involving alcohol in an SCA event ad. It doesn't matter whether it's a calendar event or not, whether it's in print or via our e-list. By advertising that drink contest, in that way, it was it implies our group, not the individuals, is supplying the alcohol, especially when no rules or any other information is posted on the event advertisement. The person who is the steward of the event is by their event warrant considered an officer of the Society and is therefore bound by the rules devised by the Society. The same goes for the Seneschal, all other warranted officers and the Baron and Baronesses of the group sponsoring the event. A quick check on-line I found the following: *The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.* *Organizational Handbook* *April 2001* *Revised December 2006* * * *Sub Section - Corporate Policies of the SCA, Inc.* *Page 60 of 65* * * *VIII. POLICY ON ALCOHOL* *Manufacturing, distributing, selling, serving, or furnishing of alcoholic beverages by the SCA or its branches or subdivisions is prohibited within the United States and its territories. * * * *The use of any SCA funds for the purchase of potable alcohol, except for such quantities as may be necessary for cooking, is prohibited in the United States and its territories.* * * *Officers are not prohibited from serving alcohol; however, it must be done as individuals, and not as part of their official duties as officers.* * * *Officers are not prohibited from giving gifts of alcohol; however, it must be done as individuals, and not as part of their official duties as officers. Giving or receiving gifts of alcohol in court is not considered to be part of an officer's official duties.* * * *Further ………….:* * * *The Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.* *Seneschal's Handbook* *Page 27 of 75* *Section IV Host Liquor Coverage* *A. Our General Liability provides coverage for claims relating to the incidental use of alcohol at events, but not if we go into the business of selling or serving alcohol. Specifically (and these are the "five deadly sins"), the SCA cannot manufacture, distribute, sell, serve, or furnish alcoholic beverages. Hence, SCA-sponsored taverns are prohibited. Further, SCA funds may NOT be used for the purchase of potable alcohol, except for that needed for use in cooking.* * * *Reference for the above section: Corporate Policies VIII* Yes I know I am not an attorney or an accountant, but I am educated enough to know if some accident were to happen, and we, our group, was not covered by the SCA insurance then that leaves the individual persons open to legal responsibility. Somebody is always legally responsible. I know we are an honourable society; most of us are intelligent, smart people. But there could always be that one individual who makes a stupid choice and creates havoc. Use your imagination, that's why we have insurance. My suggestion is on any future event advertisements to delete any further reference to a drink contest. I know its semantics and just words, but those specific words have legal meanings. I know I personally can't afford to cover those types of costs. You could list it as…. A brew competition sponsored by (list private household or persons)… or A private cordial/brew/mix competition held at the list field after hours/court or Prizes offered by (list persons who would be judges) for private entries Make sure it states over 21 only. Anything but a drink contest. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Are we getting better? > timo At 17 1/2 years as a fighter in the SCA and counting, I have a _lot_ of memories. If I could do _anything_ in the SCA, it would be to go back in time -- not to our period -- but to A.S. XIV when I joined. I joined in Meridies, the only local knight was King (2nd reign) John the Bearkiller, who had been fighting a whole _5_ years! I remember fighting in freon can helms (and someone will have to post what those were, I just know), without basket hilts or anything more than leather gauntlets, with only pads on my joints. I remembers when gorgets were first required, and vambraces, and elbow cops, and kidney belts. Armor is a _lot_ more authentic today, for many fighters. I remember, as Prince of Drachenwald, being introduced to Sir Gunthar; it was his first event, he had come from Italy to Germany for it. I remember giving an Award of Arms to the lady who is now Seneschal of Elfsea; I said she'd done something she hadn't. Oh well, that wasn't what she was getting it for. Heraldic display is more common. A&S standards and standards of excellence in combat are much better. Courts are far more grand. Events are more elaborate. Generally, things are much better today than they were, because we've all tried so hard to improve things. Wanting to go back in time is big-fish-in-small-pond syndrome. But what a big fish the me of today could have been then. -- Viscount Galen of Bristol, KSCA, CSM, etc. Paul Mitchell, pmitchel at flash.net / "noblesse oblige" http://www.flash.net/~pmitchel/galen.htm

"Sir Arthur Aston had his brains beaten out with his own wooden leg" (Nathaniel Hawthorne)
October 22d.—At a dinner-party at Mr. Holland's last evening, a gentleman, in instance of Charles Dickens's unweariability, said that during some theatrical performances in Liverpool he acted in play and farce, spent the rest of the night making speeches, feasting, and drinking at table, and ended at seven o'clock in the morning by jumping leap-frog over the backs of the whole company.
In Moore's diary he mentions a beautiful Guernsey lily having been given to his wife, and says that the flower was originally from Guernsey. A ship from there had been wrecked on the coast of Japan, having many of the lilies on board, and the next year the flowers appeared,—springing up, I suppose, on the wave-beaten strand.
Wishing to send a letter to a dead man, who may be supposed to have gone to Tophet,—throw it into the fire.
Sir Arthur Aston had his brains beaten out with his own wooden leg, at the storming of Tredagh in Ireland by Cromwell.
In the county of Cheshire, many centuries ago, there lived a half-idiot, named Nixon, who had the gift of prophecy, and made many predictions about places, families, and important public events, since fulfilled. He seems to have fallen into fits of insensibility previous to uttering his prophecies.
The family of Mainwaring (pronounced Mannering), of Bromborough, had an ass's head for a crest.
"Richard Dawson, being sick of the plague, and perceiving he must die, rose out of his bed and made his grave, and caused his nephew to cast straw into the grave, which was not far from the house, and went and laid him down in the said grave, and caused clothes to be laid upon him, and so departed out of this world. This he did because he was a strong man, and heavier than his said nephew and a serving-wench were able to bury. He died about the 24th of August. Thus was I credibly told he did, 1625." This was in the township of Malpas, recorded in the parish register.
At Bickley Hall, taken down a few years ago, used to be shown the room where the body of the Earl of Leicester was laid for a whole twelvemonth,—1659 to 1660,—he having been kept unburied all that time, owing to a dispute which of his heirs should pay his funeral expenses.

"The Philosophy of Composition" — Edgar Allan Poe
"The Philosophy of Composition" by Edgar Allan Poe
Charles Dickens, in a note now lying before me, alluding to an examination I once made of the mechanism of Barnaby Rudge, says—"By the way, are you aware that Godwin wrote his Caleb Williams backwards? He first involved his hero in a web of difficulties, forming the second volume, and then, for the first, cast about him for some mode of accounting for what had been done."
I cannot think this the precise mode of procedure on the part of Godwin—and indeed what he himself acknowledges is not altogether in accordance with Mr. Dickens's idea—but the author of Caleb Williams was too good an artist not to perceive the advantage derivable from at least a somewhat similar process. Nothing is more clear than that every plot, worth the name, must be elaborated to its dénouement before anything be attempted with the pen. It is only with the dénouement constantly in view that we can give a plot its indispensable air of consequence, or causation, by making the incidents, and especially the tone at all points, tend to the development of the intention.
There is a radical error, I think, in the usual mode of constructing a story. Either history affords a thesis—or one is suggested by an incident of the day—or, at best, the author sets himself to work in the combination of striking events to form merely the basis of his narrative—-designing, generally, to fill in with description, dialogue, or autorial comment, whatever crevices of fact or action may, from page to page, render themselves apparent.
I prefer commencing with the consideration of an effect. Keeping originality always in view—for he is false to himself who ventures to dispense with so obvious and so easily attainable a source of interest—I say to myself, in the first place, "Of the innumerable effects or impressions of which the heart, the intellect, or (more generally) the soul is susceptible, what one shall I, on the present occasion, select?" Having chosen a novel first, and secondly, a vivid effect, I consider whether it can be best wrought by incident or tone—whether by ordinary incidents and peculiar tone, or the converse, or by peculiarity both of incident and tone—afterwards looking about me (or rather within) for such combinations of events or tone as shall best aid me in the construction of the effect.
I have often thought how interesting a magazine paper might be written by any author who would—that is to say, who could—detail, step by step, the processes by which any one of his compositions attained its ultimate point of completion. Why such a paper has never been given to the world, I am much at a loss to say—but perhaps the autorial vanity has had more to do with the omission than any one other cause. Most writers—poets in especial—prefer having it understood that they compose by a species of fine frenzy—an ecstatic intuition—and would positively shudder at letting the public take a peep behind the scenes, at the elaborate and vacillating crudities of thought—at the true purposes seized only at the last moment—at the innumerable glimpses of idea that arrived not at the maturity of full view—at the fully-matured fancies discarded in despair as unmanageable—at the cautious selections and rejections—at the painful erasures and interpolations,—in a word, at the wheels and pinions, the tackle for scene-shifting, the step-ladders and demon-traps, the cock's feathers, the red paint, and the black patches, which, in ninety-nine cases out of the hundred, constitute the properties of the literary histrio.

Charles Dickens's Own Punch
At Victorian Web, Philip V. Allingham shares a recipe for Charles Dickens's punch:
"Charles Dickens's Own Punch," according to Brenda Marshall in The Charles Dickens Cookbook (1981), was that with which Mr. Micawber regales the eponymous youth in Chapter XXVIII of David Copperfield , the literary progeny with whom Dickens most closely identified himself. In an 1847 letter Dickens gave the following recipe for this second punch:
Peel into a very common basin (which may be broken in case of accident, without damage to the owner's peace or pocket) the rinds of three lemons, cut very thin and with as little as possible of the white coating between the peel and the fruit, attached. Add a double handful of lump sugar (good measure [although Dickens had rather small hands]), a pint of good old rum, and a large wine-glass of good old brandy‹if it be not a large claret glass, say two. Set this on fire, by filling a warm silver spoon with the spirit, lighting the contents at a wax taper, and pouring them gently in. Let it burn three or four minutes at least, stirring it from time to time. Then extinguish it by covering the basin with a tray, which will immediately put out the flame. Then squeeze in the juice of the three lemons, and add a quart of boiling water. Stir the whole well, cover it up for five minutes, and stir again.
At this moment of crisis, the inimitable Boz suggests skimming off the lemon pips and doing some judicious sampling before one places the jug (sealed with leather on top) in a hot oven for ten minutes. However, the text's editor proposes stove-top heating instead — "it could possibly alight in a modern oven."

29 January 1968
Fort McMurray, Canada
|Alma mater
|National Film School of Denmark
|Copenhagenize Design Company
Mikael Colville-Andersen (born January 29, 1968 in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada) is a Danish-Canadian[1] urban designer and urban mobility expert.[2] He is the CEO of Copenhagenize Design Company, which he founded in 2009, and he works with cities and governments around the world in coaching them towards becoming more bicycle friendly.[3] He is a sought-after keynote speaker at design and architecture conferences and events around the world on the subjects of urbanism, liveable cities and bicycle history.
He is known for his philosophy about simplifying urban planning and urban cycling and how cities should be designed instead of engineered.[4] He is at the forefront of utilising observational techniques inspired by the likes of William H. Whyte for pedestrian and cycle planning and has been called 'The Modern Day Jane Jacobs'.[5] He employs anthropology and sociology in his work to develop liveable cities and, in 2012, he spearheaded the largest study of cyclist behaviour ever undertaken - The Choreography of an Urban Intersection - tracking the desire lines of 16,631 cyclists through an intersection in Copenhagen over a 12 hour period.[6]
His approach and philosophy have led to him being referred to as The Richard Dawkins of cycling by Peter Walker of The Guardian in 2014 interview with Esquire magazine in the UK[7] and the Pope of urban cycling by Canadian newspaper La Presse.[8]
Colville-Andersen has been instrumental in orchestrating the global bicycle boom, starting with what was later called The Photo That Launched a Million Bicycles[9] in 2006, which led to the Copenhagen Cycle Chic photography and streetstyle blog in 2007.[10] Regarding his early work with the Cycle Chic movement, The Guardian dubbed him The Sartorialist on Two Wheels.[11]
He coined the phrase Cycle chic in 2007,[12][13] as well as the word Copenhagenize in the same year.[14] He has also coined and popularised other phrases such as Bicycle Urbanism, Citizen Cyclist and he started The Slow Bicycle Movement in 2008.[15]
Before embarking on a career as an urban designer, he was a film director and screenwriter. His debut feature film, Zakka West (2003), was the first indie film in Denmark[16] and premiered at the Copenhagen International Film Festival. He has written and directed several short films, including the award-winning short Breaking Up (1999) and founded the first pan-European organisation for screenwriters - Euroscreenwriters - in 1997.
As producer for the The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) bicentenary website for Hans Christian Andersen, he and his team won the Prix Italia award at the Radiotelevisione Italiana 57th Prix Italia for Best Website.[17]

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat until just smoking. Add chicken breast-side down; scatter onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and rosemary around chicken. Cook until breast is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon inserted into cavity of bird, flip chicken breast-side up and cook until chicken and vegetables are well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove Dutch oven from heat; place large sheet of foil over pot and cover tightly with lid. Transfer pot to oven and cook until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees when inserted in thickest part of breast and 175 degrees in thickest part of thigh, 80 to 110 minutes.
Transfer chicken to carving board, tent with foil, and rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, strain chicken juices from pot through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator, pressing on solids to extract liquid; discard solids (you should have about ¾ cup juices). Allow liquid to settle 5 minutes, then pour into saucepan and set over low heat. Carve chicken, adding any accumulated juices to saucepan. Stir lemon juice into jus to taste. Serve chicken, passing jus at table.
NOTES (from Cook's): The cooking times in the recipe are for a 4½ - to 5-pound bird. A 3½ - to 4½ -pound chicken will take about an hour to cook, and a 5- to 6-pound bird will take close to 2 hours. Cook's developed this recipe to work with a 5- to 8-quart Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. If using a 5-quart pot, do not cook a chicken larger than 5 pounds. Use the best chicken available, such as a Bell & Evans. If using a kosher chicken, reduce the kosher salt to 1 teaspoon (or ½ teaspoon table salt). If you choose not to serve the skin with the chicken, simply remove it before carving. The amount of jus will vary depending on the size of the chicken; season it with about ¼ teaspoon lemon juice for every ¼ cup.

Theo Walcott practices with games
Injured England defender John Terry has told the Daily Star newspaper that England attacker Theo Walcott (who hit a hat-trick against Croatia three weeks ago) practices his silky skills using videogames.
Terry told the Star that Walcott practices using FIFA and Pro Evo when on tour with England, and his gaming efforts have apparently improved his talents on the international stage.
We hear that Walcott's form only began after he commenced the gaming practice, though new manager Fabio Capello might take issue with this.
Apparently, games are also good for team morale, and have helped get Walcott into the team spirit. "He's been a little bit quiet, but we all went through that phase when we got into the England squad. Once you get established you come out of your shell. We coaxed him out by playing on the computer around the hotel. We got him playing on it with us," Terry is quoted as saying.
"It's the little things like that which get younger lads out of their shell and it has shown in his performances."
More sports game news in due course.

sometimes be wrong. These authors acknowledge that the problem they identify is not common, but they do suggest that caution is needed in interpreting results in the presence of nondifferential misclassification. (See Sexton et al., 1995, for a discussion of problems of misclassification associated with exposure measurement.)
Better measures of exposure can improve the ability of a study to assess adverse effects from environmental agents. Such improvements lead to an increase in the power of the study and reduction in bias, but also to increased cost. The health outcomes and exposure analysis must be considered together to arrive at a balanced prioritization of study requirements.
A wide array of exposure-assessment tools is available to the epidemiologic investigator, ranging from personal monitoring to the use of diaries or other indirect means. All the tools have potential value when used logically and reasonably. A continuing dialogue is necessary between scientists whose emphasis is on exposure assessment and epidemiologic investigators. In this regard, Lioy (1991a) has stressed the need for continued dialogue to focus on critical questions that will reduce ambiguity in terminology and conceptual design and improve the experimental design of both health and exposure studies. The development of the EPA guidelines on exposure assessment (EPA, 1992) and NHEXAS (Burke et al., 1992) should stimulate further discussion on these issues.
Landrigan (1983) has commented on the advantages of improved exposure characterization by using individual versus grouped data in a study of the health effects of arsenic in drinking water. The average concentration of arsenic in well water was a poor indicator of individual exposure because some of the persons studied had supplemented their consumption or changed completely to drinking bottled water. When estimates of bottled water consumption were incorporated into individual-exposure assessment, the dose-effect relationship was strengthened.
Kennedy et al. (1991), in a cross-sectional study of pulp and paper workers exposed to chlorine gas, found no differences from workers in other industries. However, when those pulp and paper workers who had an acute gas exposure were considered, symptom and forced-expiratory-volume (FEV1 and FEV25-75) differences were found. The authors concluded that accidental chlorine or chlorine dioxide exposures in pulp mills are associated with increased respiratory symptoms and airflow obstruction, particularly among nonsmokers and former smokers.
Monster and Smolders (1984) studied teachers and pupils at a kindergarten near a factory with emissions of tetrachloroethane. The levels of

Elin Nordegren Breaks Silence on Tiger Woods, Feels "Stronger Than Ever" Since Divorceby Free Britney at . Comments
Now that she's officially divorced from Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren is spilling the beans on the end of their marriage and revealing her side of the story.
Having been silent for nine months since that fateful night in November when Tiger's affair with Rachel Uchitel was exposed, Elin is finally opening up.
"I have been through the stages of disbelief, shock, anger and ultimately grief over the loss of the family I so badly wanted for my children," she tells People.
SHATTERED: Elin's life has been. But she says she feels stronger now.
Still, the former model and 30-year-old mother of two says "I also feel stronger than I ever have. I have confidence in my beliefs, my decisions and myself."
"My immediate plan is for the kids and me to continue to adjust to our new situation," says Elin Nordegren, who is working toward a psychology degree. "I'm going to keep taking classes, but my main focus is to try to give myself time to heal."She tells the celebrity news magazine this was her first - and last - interview, as she will remain the private person we've known (or not known) until now.
Not surprisingly, Elin was wooed by everyone from Oprah to that blowhard Dr. Phil to People with a chance to tell "her side of the story" for BIG bucks.
"Elin hasn't responded to any of them," a friend hers revealed. "She hasn't said anything and doesn't plan on ever talking about this awful experience."
"Elin is a very private lady who never once wanted to be in the spotlight like so many other wives of sports superstars. She was thrust into the limelight by Tiger's selfish actions and now look forwards to going back to normal."
Somehow, People got her to open up. But don't look for her to make the media rounds. She'd like nothing more than to disappear from the public eye.
With the estimated $100 million she reportedly got in the Tiger Woods divorce, she will be able to buy a little privacy if nothing else. Her primary concern, obviously, is the welfare of kids Sam Alexis, 3, and Charlie Axel, 18 months.
Reports say Elin will stay in America, rather than return to her native Sweden, at least for now, so the children will have as much normalcy as possible.
"It's very sad that it has come to this," an insider says, "we all hoped they would be able to work it out, although Elin couldn't look at him anymore without thinking about all the different women he had been with."
"In the long run she will be fine, but at the moment she is still very hurt. Thank goodness she has the children. Without them ... things would be worse."
She claims she has "gone through hell". Maybe some perspective here is required - not being able to feed your children day-to-day could be called hell; getting injured & seeing your buddies get killed in Iraq is hell. Walking away with US $ 100 million plus at a young age with everyone on your side, and with a clean break from someone you don't like anyway, is maybe not on that same level...
i think elin n tiger both got into marriage for their own reason. Tiger being a person of colour but trying to denay his blackness and married a nanny blonde to impress the near all white golfers and her seeing tiger as a way to rich n famous. they never real loved each other and i think elin is real lousy and strict in bed so tiger went to other hot ferocious b!tch.but i do think she deserves every penny she got. tiger should never have married her. am sure now he wouldnt be in any hurry to marry again.
To all of you ignorant people who are angry at Elin you all need a reality check!whether she was a nanny and poor doesn't matter.She was his wife and the Mother of his chidren and for those reasons she deserves the 100,000,000.Who cares if he had a strong sex drive, then don't get married! to cheat is bad enough but not to use protection and then go home to your wife is unforgiveable!!!!!
some people talk about how women dont satisfy men that is why men cheats. my question is, do all men satisfy thier wives? my husband comes back from work every day and tell me he is tired and cant have sex with me for weeks now but that does not make me to go out and start looking for sex outside
Before Tiger there was that "other" Woods, former pop star Stevie Woods, whereby I was the scorned Scandinavian wife. My advice to Elin... write a book like I did! It's the best form of therapy.
-Cheri Woods
Author, Death Row Madam
Elin has conducted herself throughout this sordid ordeal with dignity and class. Tiger has a lot to be ashamed of; his low-life ways mean those darling little children will now grow up in a broken home. I wish Elin and the children every happiness, and a peaceful private life without interference by the papparazzi.
I have no sympathy for Tiger Woods! He has his opportunity and misused it in a very big way! Now he has to face the consequences of his actions! Tiger Woods deserves the same compassion, respect, loyalty and consideration that he gave his wife and children, which is, NONE!!!! He keeps feeling sorry for himself during press conferences and on the golf course trying to get sympathy from the public, but it is too little too late!!!
I am so glad that Elin Nordegren is finally free from Tiger Woods who seems to be a very troubled man with serious issues. I commend Elin for her wise decision, for being a caring and loving mother and for her great courage, dignity and class during this horrid period in her life. I applaud that Elin is moving on with her life taking care of herself and her children and looking forward to be happy and enjoy life again!!! I wish them the very best!!!
All I will say is I hope she is happy now. Anyone would think that Tiger was the only one to have woman on the side.There are dozens of men who have done the same, but it hasn't cost them there total income. I personally think she new exactly what she was doing, just another gold digger. Sob sob.
I believe that What has happened is that Tiger woods is still young and energetic and sex and lust is something that is necessary especially for a sportsman who gets relaxation from sex and it helps him in his permornace on the track. His wife having got 2 children and all the money to live her married life excellently comfortable went about in her own world w/o being much with Tiger. She could not provide the sex that Tiger needed each time especially when he is overseas and his wife is not with him or is busy with 2 small children. Sportsman tend to have more energy and stress and sex is one way to relief the tension before an event and after. That is all that happened. Not that Tiger did not love his wife and kids. Lust is a powerful demon in human beings.

Nice article, Spencer. I can attest to the idea of being established as an "expert" through providing helpful content. I have really grown to a great amount of traffic over the last 3 years, but never did very well with Adsense.
This year I started recommending a particular ticket site, and parking solution (my site does ballpark guides to help people save money going to a Major League Baseball game) which have performed very well as affiliate revenue.
I think the key is that they are both services I feel really good about recommending, so adding them naturally into my ballpark guides has doesn't seem like a sales pitch. In reality these are the kinds of things people are looking for when they find my site. These 2 affiliate relationships now make up the vast majority of my earnings.
Hey Jake – thanks for sharing what's working for you! I think that's so important to establish yourself as an expert, and by so doing, you will also know the best products that people will be interested in as well. That's a big part of content marketing as an affiliate for sure.
i am with you on this one Spencer. content marketing can be very powerful, especially when you truly know your content inside out and are passionate about it.
it is difficult for many to apply this strategy to a business that is established with the sole motive of profit rather than passion and value because one runs out of passionate and genuine content to produce.
for example, i tried content marketing for several niche sites and it worked haphazardly here and there, but not to its full potential. on the other hand, i have done absolutely no article marketing or social bookmarking for my new authority site and have only focused on content marketing and it is picking up a lot of steam real quick.
what's nice about content marketing is that one can re purpose quality content and syndicate it to various mediums online that people use to consume content.
with niche sites becoming less and less lucrative, and authority sites gaining more traction, content marketing will continue to be more critical in my opinion.
Content marketing definitely works better for more established sites than small niche sites. Although I have to disagree with your statement that niche sites are less and less lucrative. I still do much better with small niche sites than authority sites at this point…
Hey Spencer,
Great post here. You and your blog are great examples of what content marketing can do.
This was a timely post for me, as I try and get my own blog off the ground.
One thing I'm finding (which I've failed to do in the past), is to really take the time to PROMOTE the content I DO create.
Writing blog posts is fun for me, the marketing comes a little slower.
What I've done to solve this problem, is track how much time I spend on each blog post – and then spend triple that amount of time on promotion, networking, forum posting, commenting, etc…
In the early days, did you find you spent a great deal of time getting your content out there? Or, did you rely more on search traffic and the passage of time? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks John:
I think that's a great strategy to spend a good deal of time promoting your content. I spent a good deal of time doing just that via forums, networking, etc when I first started out. I don't do that as much now…
Makes sense. I assume that at some point (if you have a good concept) that a tipping point is probably reached, where less promotion is necessary.
You definitely have awesome content, so no doubt people do a lot of marketing for you now.
Content marketing is definitely becoming more common and taking over traditional marketing. The main advantage being that by using content marketing, you form more of a trust with people and people feel like when you recommend something to them, you are doing so as a friend and not as a salesperson.
I agree!
Hi Spencer, thanks for sharing some of your strategies. I think what makes content marketing so challenging for people is that it is more of a long-term gratification approach to marketing. It takes a lot of time and effort to generate traffic. Not to mention all the time that goes into actually writing content that is worth sharing! I know most people think that SEO or social media is an immediate fix to getting traffic versus paying for advertisements. I think in order to make content marketing effective you have to have a big team of writers or be very passionate about what you are publishing otherwise you will get burnt out before you even see any results.
Hi Spencer,
I agree, content marketing is one of the best things you can do to promote a site, especially an authority site.
At the moment im thinking about some tools i can get built to add to my authority site as a form or content marketing. I will definitely try to think of a few more options i can try after reading this post!
Which ever approach anyone takes you always need to remember it's a business, your business and the more time, effort and hard work you put in to it, the more you can expect to get out of it! Plus if you don't have the time you don't need to be doing all of it in one go, make sure you're always updating though and building it out in some kind of way. Just don't give up and eventually you'll be successful just like Spencer!
Spencer, I have a question that's not really related to the topic at hand but hopefully you can help me out/
When I check the first 10 results of competition in google, seoquake shows backlinks for both link domains and semrush links. Which one should I pay more attention to? Or should I be checking both? It seems like alot of sites have thousands of link domains but little to none of semrush links or vice versa.
You can check both, but I find SEOmoz to be much more effective. All services providing link counts are different…
It's really a nice and useful piece of info. I'm happy that
you shared this helpful information with us. Please stay us informed like this.
Thank you for sharing.

MyAllocator - has anyone tried it?
Has anyone tried the hostel channel management system called MyAllocator?
Our web based hostel channel management product. This allows a hostel to update their bed/room prices and availability and to send it out to multiple booking engines.
We currently offer updates to Hostelsclub.com, Gomio.com, Hostelworld.com and Go2hostels.com. Hostelbookers.com have confirmed that they will come on board early 2010 and we are in discussions with a number of other booking engines.
My Allocator is great system. It makes managing allocations so much easier, you can send it updated bed prices and availability to multiple booking engines effortlessly. Don't really know how we managed without it and my frontline staff swear by it!
I am using myallocator now about 1 year and i am very satisfied with it. I have a hotel in Zanzibar (http://www.sansibarurlaub.de) where the internet is very slow and i hardly have a chance to update multiple channels. Instead of 2 hours daily (what would not be possible) for updating availability i need only 5 minutes.
Myallocator is easy to use, has everything you need, good price and the support is perfect. When you have a problem you get within a few hours answer, even on saturday and sunday.
If i would open a new hotel, one of the first things i would do is to subscribe with myallocator.
i'm also using. it's a good program at the moment. and it could be great program soon after they update a few things. they are currently working on them
I'm testing their booking engines on chinese and korean site
check it out
MyAllocator also likes to inBed.me as well. inBed.me is s social booking site for hostels, beds and couches. Our site not only allows travelers to book their beds, but also to see who will be staying at each hostel during their travel dates. Travelers can then connect with each other to share tips or plan activities. Here are some of benefits of listing:
-It is totally free to list your hostel http://book.inbed.me/welcome
-100% commission FREE bookings on all reservations made by travelers that you refer, http://book.inbed.me/online
-On all other bookings made on inBed.me, a commission of 10% is billed and payable only AFTER you get paid
-Publish your rates (either manually or automatically through our API) or submit offers based on travelers itineraries. http://book.inbed.me/rates
-Earn 5% commission on any booking that a referred traveler makes over the next 3 years with our referral program http://book.inbed.me/referral_program
We've been using Rate Tiger for the last year and a half. Very good support. ratetiger.com
Compatible with:
STA Travel
Tourico Holidays
Their shopper isn't very helpful because it shows the cheapest price on the competitors sites. If you have private rooms, you won't get a good idea of their prices. I'd highly suggest it...but alas, we're moving to ASSD which will have that capability for us.
Myallocator now updates to the channels below and integrates with several PMS providers including loventis soon - Still only £10 per month, no room limits or commission fees -
Hostelbookers.com (including affiliates such as Hostelmania.com)
