eBay Cha-Ching: Why Titles Are So Important for Marketing
There's something I don't like about my book The 7 Essential Steps to Successful eBay Marketing. It's the title. I'll tell you why and what it has to do with eBay listings in a second.
I was involved in creating the title little, but the publisher deferred to its in-house experts and came up with the final version.
Technically the full title of the book is The 7 Essential Steps to Successful eBay Marketing: Creative Strategies to Boost Profits Now. I like the 2nd half of the title better than the first. Why? Because it offers a picture or a feeling about what the reader or buyer is going to get from the book. It's tangible and specific – profits, boost, now. But that's immaterial. The main title is the real issue.
First, let me tell what you what elements I like about the main title. I like the 7 Essential Steps part. That concept works for me, and I'd encourage you to use similar formats when informing your eBay audiences. Visually, numbers are interesting in titles, and taking a few steps in order to achieve a goal sounds pretty easy and organized. People like that. "If I do x, I'll get y."
I don't know if Essential is absolutely necessary, though. I'm on the fence about that one. I also like the word Marketing in the main title. It sets the book apart from all the other noise that's out there and focuses the target audience onto a fairly specific topic.
Now, what do I not like? I don't like the word Successful. To me, it's very vague and general. If I'm reading a book title, I want to know exactly what's in it for me… immediately. Especially with a business book. Otherwise, I'm moving on. I also need to be attracted by something unusual or interesting. There's nothing interesting about "Successful eBay Marketing." It's just bland.
So what should a title do? If you're selling a book or a lunch box or a cell phone, what do you want your title to do? First you want it to attract eyeballs. Then you want it to convert the eyeballs' brain into a buyer.. or a potential prospect at least.
This concept of attraction and conversion is discussed in much greater detail by Sean D'Souza in his PsychoTactics newsletter. It's a good resource with lots of insider marketing information. And it works.
First you attract, with a unique or unusual title. Then you convert with the big benefit. My title might have been better with one of the following treatments, for example:
eBay Seller Smarts: How to Increase Profits and Save Time Listing with Proven Marketing Techniques (unique main title, two specific benefits)
eBay Cha-Ching: Ring the Online Cash Register with Proven Marketing Tactics (unique title, benefits implicit, clear images)
How does this relate to eBay listings? Well, you have two opportunities to use titles like these. Once in the keyword title, and again within the text of your listing. I'll warn you against using this title attraction/conversion technique in the keyword title however. If you have room for it, give it a shot. (Testing will show the truth of the situation.) But you're better off using the keyword title for just that – keywords. Those are gold, and you need to make sure everything is there and accounted for – this is where you cast a wide net.
However, you can use the technique on the listing page itself. Place a big title at the beginning of your description. Use one that sticks with the customer and gets them thinking about how your product is better, faster, sexier, etc. Translate that to what specific benefit they'll reap.
If you do this effectively, your listings will instantly attract more interest and be set off from all the other returns that the prospect has looked at. It's about differentiation. eBay is a competitive marketplace, but it's not that difficult to stand out. With a little care and planning, you can get a distinct edge.

Onshore volume transport (Stokes drift) due to surface gravity waves propagating toward the beach can result in a compensating Eulerian offshore flow in the surf zone referred to as undertow. Observed offshore flows indicate that wave-driven undertow extends well offshore of the surf zone, over the inner shelves of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and North Carolina. Theoretical estimates of the wave-driven offshore transport from linear wave theory and observed wave characteristics account for 50% or more of the observed offshore transport variance in water depths between 5 and 12 m, and reproduce the observed dependence on wave height and water depth. During weak winds, wave-driven cross-shelf velocity profiles over the inner shelf have maximum offshore flow (1–6 cm s−1) and vertical shear near the surface and weak flow and shear in the lower half of the water column. The observed offshore flow profiles do not resemble the parabolic profiles with maximum flow at middepth observed within the surf zone. Instead, the vertical structure is similar to the Stokes drift velocity profile but with the opposite direction. This vertical structure is consistent with a dynamical balance between the Coriolis force associated with the offshore flow and an along-shelf "Hasselmann wave stress" due to the influence of the earth's rotation on surface gravity waves. The close agreement between the observed and modeled profiles provides compelling evidence for the importance of the Hasselmann wave stress in forcing oceanic flows. Summer profiles are more vertically sheared than either winter profiles or model profiles, for reasons that remain unclear.

DETROIT -- Five members of a Midwest Christian militia accused of conspiring to overthrow the government were lured to a warehouse to attend a phony memorial service so they would be unarmed when authorities arrested them, Michigan's chief federal agent said Thursday.
The ruse in Ann Arbor was part of a series of weekend raids in several states that resulted in the indictment of nine people in the alleged plot, officials said.
"We basically set up a scenario where we were able to draw them all to one location," Andrew Arena, the FBI's special agent in charge in Detroit, told The Associated Press. "And the reason we did that was to obviously get them away from their weapons."
Nine suspected members of a group called the Hutaree based in southern Michigan's Lenawee County were charged this week with seditious conspiracy, or plotting to levy war against the U.S., attempting to use weapons of mass destruction and other crimes.
They planned to make a false 911 call, kill responding police officers and set off a bomb at the funeral to kill many more, according to prosecutors. The FBI said it broke up the plot with the help of an undercover agent and informants.
Eight of the suspects are in custody in the Detroit area. The ninth is being held in Indiana.
U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Donald A. Scheer in Detroit said Thursday he needed more time to decide whether to grant prosecutors' request that the eight remain locked up until trial. A decision was expected Friday.
Urging Scheer to deny the request for bond, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Falvey Jr. said that while there is nothing wrong with owning guns or hating the government, it is illegal when "people with dark hearts and evil intents" gather to discuss ways to commit violence.
Releasing the defendants would allow them to regroup and would increase their fear of law enforcement, Falvey said.
The Hutaree are self-proclaimed "Christian warriors" who trained themselves in paramilitary techniques in preparation for what they say on their Web site is a battle against the Antichrist.
Defense attorneys told Scheer that no evidence against the group has been aired outside the indictment.
Arena said the FBI started looking into the Hutaree nearly two years ago based on "information from the public" he wouldn't disclose.
An undercover agent infiltrated the group, becoming part of suspected ringleader David Brian Stone's inner circle, making explosive devices under Stone's supervision and attending meetings and special family events, authorities said.
They said the agent accompanied Stone and others to a planned meeting of militias in Kentucky in February. They were forced to turn back in Indianapolis because of bad weather, but the agent recorded a speech to those in the van by a speaker identified as Stone.
"Now it's time to strike and take our nation back so we will be free of tyranny," the speaker said on the recording played Wednesday in U.S. District Court. "The war will come whether we are ready or not."
Stone's attorney, William Swor, objected on free speech grounds, saying the tape and government's testimony shows only "my client has an opinion and knows how to use his mouth."
Arena said the FBI investigation found that Stone, 44, and his followers did more than just talk.
"We've got evidence ... that it wasn't just paramilitary training," he said. "It wasn't just a bunch of guys out playing army in the woods. They had taken some steps down the road towards actually doing something."
The government alleges the Hutaree planned to conduct training in April. Stone wanted anyone who came upon them to be "put on the ground by a bullet or knife," Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Waterstreet said.
"That's the point we had to take this thing down," Arena said. "When you start talking about actually interacting with innocent third parties, that's when we can't let it go any further."
Authorities say Saturday's arrests of Stone and the others sent Stone's 21-year-old son, Joshua Stone, into hiding -- and into action. The younger Stone is accused of calling on other Hutaree members and friends and gathering food and weapons.
He hunkered down in a camper on land owned by family friend Bob Dudley in Hillsdale County's Wheatland Township. The government said the property was a "rally point" for the Hutaree where members could meet once the fighting started.
Arena said the FBI went to great lengths to prevent a violent standoff with Joshua Stone, who "had access to weapons." They set up what Arena called "a very loose perimeter" and played recorded messages from family and friends urging him to surrender. Joshua Stone surrendered peacefully on Monday.
"Maybe he had an epiphany out there," he said. "Dad wasn't there. The leader wasn't there. He was with these other people. I don't know exactly what happened inside that location. Maybe they talked some sense into him.
"It didn't go down like Dad said it was going to go down."

Is it just me, or are the NBC olympics commentators the most negative group of human beings in the universe? "Wow, Bob! She really stuck that landing. If only it could erase the heartbreak she must feel for completely failing on this apparatus during the team qualifying round." "You had an amazing swim, Steve! Does it almost make up for the fact that you were gang raped by goats last year?"
I mean...seriously. You'd think that Phelps coming home with eight medals but only six gold would be the greatest sports failure of all time. Costas needs to lighten up.

The Cable Guy
When Steven finds himself heartbroken over his breakup with his girlfriend Robin, he takes the advice of a friend and he slips the cable guy an extra $50 for some 'free channels'. Cable guy, who gives his name as 'Chip' supes-up Steven's cable as a favor and seems intensely keen on becoming Steven's new best friend- a little too keen in fact, as Steven will discover when he tells 'Chip' he doesn't want to be friends anymore.

Yet it doesn't take too long before Steven starts to realize the nightmarish psychopathic stalker he has allowed into his life. Failing to answer the numerous messages left on his machine mean that he returned home to find that 'Chip' sabotaged his cable, and not before too long Chip gets round to sabotaging Steven's whole life, with blackmail ad dark malevolence, simply because Steven refused to stay friends with 'Chip'…

Dave Weigel of Slate has stepped in it in humiliating fashion. Just two days ago, parroting the preferred line of the Democratic Party, Weigel implied that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was fibbing about his office being bugged in order to avoid questions about a campaign insider tape run by Mother Jones. "Mitch McConnell Won't Stop Saying That the Left Was 'Bugging' His Campaign Office," Weigel snarked in the headline.
"Right now there's no evidence that reveals the origin of the tape–whether it was produced by bugging (which is illegal) or a recording from an errant staffer (less illegal). But this is McConnell's fight back story."
It now turns out that Jacob Convway of the Jefferson County Democratic Party reported to local media that McConnell's office was indeed illegally recorded by the anti-McConnell group Progress Kentucky, Weigel's use of scare quotes notwithstanding.
On Thursday, Weigel reported these developments at Slate:
If you're a fan of political jujitsu and political jackassery, the Mitch McConnell/Mother Jones story has taken on the dimensions of a classic…. What had been a pretty lame package of revelations from a tape became a much better story about the possible illegal taping of a campaign office. (The lameness argued against the theory that a McConnell campaign mole had leaked it. Why blow your wad on 12 minutes of staffers making fun of a candidate who'd dropped out already?)
Then, with no sense of irony, Weigel added, "At his Tuesday press conference, McConnell blamed 'the left' for 'bugging' his office, and he was right." Naturally, Weigel then proceeded to explain why Republicans were overstepping in their coverage of the story.

What's the big deal about choosing just the right piano? As long as there are no broken parts and it looks OK, you're set, right?
You could look at it that way, but really, even if you score a great deal on a piano for $200, that's a $200 investment. Wouldn't you like a fantastic return for your money, whether it's in the form of success in piano lessons, or great resale value?
What is the best piano for your investment, then? "Every student must have a Yamaha studio upright, model 12579M, sold at D's Music Store for $4,500."
Ridiculous. Not in my book.
Instead, look for the best-quality piano you can afford! If that's a $20,000, 6-foot grand piano – great! If it's a $200 upright piano – great! As long as you buy the best your budget will allow, you're on the right course.
I always tell my students to keep saving a little bit on the side, too. In a few years, sell your current piano and buy a better one. Why? Because in some ways, you're only as good as your instrument. If you can only practice on a piano with lackluster tone and key action, you won't be ready to make full use of those qualities when they're available to you in a better instrument. (More on this later!)
Visit my website for more information about choosing your piano.
I want your suggestions for blog topics!

BCS National Championship Game: Who Will Be Playing?November 16, 2010
We are currently approaching the end of the college football season, and it has been quite an exciting one to say the least.
The real question, at this point in time, is who will be playing for the National Championship?
This is a difficult question, because there are four undefeated teams sitting at the top of the rankings who all deserve a chance at national championship glory.
With that said, let's break down the contenders and predict the championship game.
Auburn is currently undefeated and sit at the top of the very strong and talented SEC. However, Auburn has a very difficult remaining schedule, where they will have to beat two very talented teams.
When they lose one of these games, which will happen, Auburn will not be going to the BCS championship game.
In two weeks, the Tigers will travel to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama. The Crimson Tide will show up to this game and will come away with a very important victory for them. This win will cause major chaos when it comes to the BCS rankings system.
When Alabama upsets Auburn, it will pave the way for either TCU or Boise State to make a push for the championship game.
In my opinion, if Auburn loses to Alabama but beats South Carolina for the SEC championship, they are still a better team then undefeated TCU or Boise.
But with the BCS system, they will not be going to the championship game.
Oregon is in a similar position to Auburn: If they win out, they will be going to the title game. All the flying Ducks have to do is win their final two games and nothing will bounce them from the top rankings spot.
When it is all said and done, Oregon will be one of the two teams that will play for this year's title. They were tested against Cal this weekend but proved to the country that they can play defense. Their offense will never be that sloppy again, and they should run the table against Arizona and Oregon State in the upcoming weeks.
When it comes to both Boise and TCU, each team is clearly playing do or die football right now, which means they cannot lose another football game.
Neither team will end up losing another game and one of them will end up playing Oregon. The real question is, which of these teams will be ranked ahead of the other?
The Broncos are a better team than the Horned Frogs, and if they finish the year undefeated, they should be ranked higher. Their marquee win against Virginia Tech and their future win against Nevada will be more impressive than TCU's.
The Horned Frogs' win against Utah is becoming less and less valuable, and in many ways, Nevada is probably a better team than the Utes. VT is a better team than anyone on TCU's schedule, and you can even make the case that Boise dominated Oregon State on a higher level than TCU did.
With all of this said, if Auburn loses and Oregon remains undefeated, I see Boise State and Oregon going to the 2010 BCS Championship.

I told some I thought the referee was calling a good game, and that he wasn't buying what Brasil was selling. They wouldn't talk to me the rest of the game. I did however think Brasil was the much better team.

Woo-hoo! My time to shine. This should be more of an adoption question as opposed to a photography question. As the father of two beautiful adopted daughters from China, we ran into this situation with our youngest, who was brought home when she was three. My wife an I collectively read a dozen adoption books, and all of them suggest the following: Do NOT attempt to create/fabricate a history for adoptive children who are void of any visual history. The more appropriate response would be "I'm very sorry; we have no photos of you as a baby. Here's what you may have looked like." If she's African decent, show pictures of infant African decent infants, etc. Creating history sets a bad precedent and has the potential to blow up in the adoptive parents' face. Short of working with the adoption agency to find actual photos, honesty is the best route to follow. I highly suggest viewing the documentary "Somewhere in between." It deals with similar situations. Hope this helps.

High school baseball and softball allow the umpire to relagate someone (most of the time the coach) to the bench. He/She is not allowed to be seen off the bench or heard. If so the coach is then ejected. I'm unsure of the college rule, and I'm pretty sure MLB does not have a similar rule. As a 4-sport high school official, I really like how sportsmanship is handled. Basketball is by far the worst.

Keeping a weather eye open
Posted by
Winder Archives
Wednesday, August 18. 2010
Comments (0)
At first glance, Al Mieger's home does not appear any different from the other attractive homes that line his street.
Upon closer examination though, an observer may spot an unusual appurtenance rising from the peak of his roof. The spinning object – which is barely noticeable – is an anemometer.
The anemometer, a device used for measuring wind speed, is the only obvious sign that a weather enthusiast resides within the walls of Mieger's home.
Mieger, an information technology professional, was not always a weather guru.
A former resident of sunny Southern California, Mieger moved to Snellville in the fall of 2000. It was not long before Mieger became intrigued with Georgia's varied and sometimes violent weather.
"Interesting enough, it was quite a change from the weather in California," Mieger said. "Thunderstorms, hail, ice, wind – all those sorts of things we don't really experience there."
The ever changing weather fascinated Mieger and within eight months of moving to Georgia, Mieger acquired his first weather station.
"I started getting interested in it and I developed a web site," he said.
The site, which focused on Snellville weather, remained in operation until Mieger moved to Barrow County in mid-2007.
After the move, Mieger switched his attention to Barrow County weather and created barrowcountyweather.
com. Since the move, Mieger's interest – and investment – in weather watching has grown.
Mieger's operation is completely self-funded. In addition to purchasing a weather station, Mieger has added a lightning detection system and several pieces of software to improve his weather monitoring capabilities.
Altogether, Mieger estimates he has approximately $1,600 invested in hardware, $2,500 to $3,000 in software as well as recurring monthly costs for internet access, web hosting and a weather aggregator.
Though technically a hobby, Mieger readily admits he is more than a casual weather enthusiast.
"I do like to think of it as a semiprofessional endeavor," he said.
Mieger uses a Davis Vantage Pro II weather station to collect meteorological data for his weather web site.
To look at the equipment Mieger has amassed, "semi-professional" would hardly seem to be an adequate descriptor. Mieger's office – or more accurately command center – contains several computers, a large server, a weather radio and other equipment designed to provide the accurate, up to date, meteorological data.
His weather station, a Davis Vantage Pro II, includes a rain collector, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometer, solar radiation sensor, UV sensor and solar panel.
Mieger also has what he believes may be the county's only lightning detection system, the Boltek Storm Tracker.
Barrowcountyweather.com also utilizes StormVue interactive software which allows visitors to the site to track the intensity and direction of thunderstorms moving through the area.
Each day, Mieger's site automatically generates local forecasts using the WXSIM - Local Atmospheric Modeling System. The modeling system combines data collected by Mieger's station with other available data to create accurate weather predictions.
Data collected by Mieger's weather station is also transmitted to the NWS. This data includes temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction and wind gusts.
"There's thousands of people like me all across the country," Mieger said. "Our data is collected and ends up making its way to the National Weather Service and they use that in forecasting models."
Mieger's interest in the weather has extended beyond simply maintaining a weather web site and collecting meteorological data. Mieger has put his weather station to good use as Barrow County's Skywarn coordinator.
Weather data is gathered through several pieces of equipment including this one mounted in Mieger's back yard.
Since the late 1960s, the National Weather Service (NWS) has operated the Skywarn program.
Skywarn utilizes "storm spotters" to report on the ground weather conditions including wind gusts, hail size, rainfall and cloud formations that could signal a developing tornado. This information is provided to the National Weather Service for use in issuing alerts to the general public.
Storm spotters are organized by the NWS and emergency management agencies within communities.
After moving to Barrow, Mieger met Jackson County's Skywarn coordinator Eddie Gilbert. After learning of Mieger's interest in the weather, Gilbert asked him to assume the post of Barrow County Skywarn coordinator.
As Skywarn coordinator, Mieger organizes training for would-be storm spotters and works with local public safety and emergency management groups to keep people informed of hazardous weather situations.
Currently, there are about 60 trained storm spotters in Barrow County, Mieger said.
These spotters may be "activated" by the NWS during times of severe weather. Mieger said typically notifications go out in the form of emails or text messages and it is up to the individual spotters to monitor their messages and respond with the information radar alone cannot provide.
Doppler radar can see the horizon, but cannot see ground activity, Mieger explained.
"They may see what looks like a severe thunderstorm or the hook of a tornado, but they have no idea whether it is actually on the ground," Mieger said.
Storm spotters are used to fill in the blanks. Spotters will notify the NWS if a tornado has actually touched down, if dangerous hail is falling or if other hazardous conditions exist.
"That's how the National Weather Service knows what's happening on the ground," Mieger said. "They can't tell otherwise."
The next Skywarn class will be held in January of 2010. In September, Mieger will open registration for the class. Prospective storm spotters will receive two hours of training from a National Weather Service meteorologist and will then become part of the Skywarn network of storm spotters.
As part of his duties as Skywarn coordinator, Mieger also operates www. barrowcountyskywarn.net. Though the site is recognized by the Barrow County Emergency Management Agency, it receives no public funding.
"I get no money from anybody," Mieger said.
As with his weather web site, Mieger owns and operates www.barrowcountyskywarn. net as a public service to the citizens of Barrow County. He also owns and operates www.tricountyARC. com, a web site for amateur radio operators in Hall, Jackson and Barrow counties. The Tri-County Amateur Radio Club was organized to assist with communications in times of emergency and works with Skywarn and local Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT).
Mieger recently upgraded his Barrow County weather site to provide a more attractive, accessible look.
The main data categories such as temperature, humidity and precipitation are on the home page along with links to forecasts, alerts, a detailed weather almanac and much more.
The web site is updated approximately every ten seconds in order to provide real time weather data.
"It's local, it's real time and it's 24/7," Mieger said. "When you look at weather forecasts on the weather channel, they're being generated from data that's usually forecasted by a National Weather Service office based upon whatever information they're able to gather."
This information often includes data from local airports, which for Barrow County residents, is more likely to refer to the Atlanta airport than the county's own facility resulting in a less accurate local forecast.
"My system, as far as the forecasting is concerned, is generated with local data," he said. "It's real time local weather. That's the big thing."

And if you are still wondering why it does so good, you have to see the read following ...
Clearly, water is not some kind of magic diet supplement. Your body needs enough water everyday to keep hydrated and cleanse itself of unwanted materials. Fat deposits that form on the body can be tough to break down and eliminate, but proper nutrition and exercise can help greatly with this.
Fat is broken down when the body uses its fat deposits to produce energy, the triglycerides in the fat cells are removed. Then, these are broken down into fatty acids and glycerols and are then absorbed into your muscle tissue and internal organs where they are then broken down even further through various chemical processes. If the products leftover from these chemical processes are not used by the body as energy, they are then considered waste products and need to be removed from the body. This is where the role of water comes in.
Water fills you with energy
If you feel weak and exhausted, you may have symptoms of dehydration. The correct amount of water will help your heart to circulate / sends your blood more effectively to organs and the brain. Also, water can help transport oxygen and other essential nutrients to your cells.
The water reduces stress levels in the body
Approximately 70-80% of your brain tissue consists of water. If you are dehydrated, then upload the stress on your brain and body. Remember that if you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated to some extent. To reduce stress, try to always have with you some water.
The water assists in muscle growth
The water will help your body to not have cramps in the muscles when you exercise while lubricates joints.
Water nourishes the skin
Fine lines and wrinkles on the face are more intense / deep when you're dehydrated. The water functions in this case as a cosmetic beauty. When you drink water you moisturize your skin cells, it rejuvenates and makes you look younger. It also has detoxifying properties and removes harmful substances from the blood as it reaches the capillaries in your skin.
Water helps your digestive system
Along with the fiber you get from food, water plays a very important role in the proper functioning of the digestive system. Also, if you are dehydrated your body absorbs more water that means that your body isn't working properly and so your work gets harder ... when you go to the toilet....
The Fat Flush Water Recipe -And How It Works
2 Liters (64 oz.) Purified Water
1 Tangerine, sectioned
1/2 Grapefruit, sliced
1 Cucumber, sliced
4 Peppermint or Spearmint Leaves
Ice, (made from purified water) optional
Mix in a pitcher before bed and drink throughout the entire next day. Please consider using organic produce for this, if it is unavailable to you; thoroughly wash the produce before adding it to the water.
The tangerine increases your sensitivity to insulin, stabilizes blood sugar and because they are high in vitamin C, you increase the fat burning during exercise.
The grapefruit will increase metabolic energy, burn fat and increase energy.
The cucumber helps you to feel more full, and acts is a natural diuretic which means less bloating and water retention.
The mint leaves aid in digestion.
There you have it! Please be advised that drinking water alone or even this recipe for the water provided above is unlikely to burn fat on its own. This is considered a fat flush, meaning that you will still need to do the exercise that is required to break down the fat, so that it can then be eliminated by the body. Proper nutrition also plays a huge role, its not about restricting calories, but making sure to get enough calories for your body from healthy, lean, whole foods. At the very least, this tasty water recipe will give you some added nutrients throughout the day, and help to ensure that you are drinking enough water. Enjoy!
Try and keep drinking water consistently throughout the day and consider water before soda, fruit juices or other sugary drinks as these can actually dehydrate your body even more. Often a lack of energy and even headaches throughout the day are simply caused by mild dehydration. It is a good idea to make a conscious effort to drink more water. A little extra is definitely better than not enough!

TAMPA, Fla. -- Through a quirk of seating assignments, Michigan State tight end Brian Linthicum sat in front of someone he knew on a flight to south Florida for the Outback Bowl: Georgia tight end Aron White.
During the next few days, Linthicum's Spartans have been around the Bulldogs at numerous functions. But even though the teams have a lot in common, the Spartans didn't really know much about Georgia, their opponent Monday.
"Honestly there wasn't a lot (we knew)," Linthicum said. "I think most of our focus is up in the north. We watch the SEC games; they're usually at night so it's kind of convenient. But not a whole lot of awareness. I feel like they flew under the radar as far as we were concerned. And all of a sudden they were in the SEC championship game, and doing well at the end of the year."
Michigan State and Georgia aren't quite strangers to each other. They met three years ago in the Capital One Bowl, with the Bulldogs coming out on top.
In fact, the Spartans have lost 10 straight bowl games, a drought that gets plenty of attention in East Lansing. Perhaps that's why the Spartans are three-point underdogs in the game, despite being ranked higher (No. 12 vs. No. 18 in the AP poll).
But the Spartans seem to have a healthy respect for Georgia, especially the Bulldogs' defense.
"We're excited because a lot of us have aspirations to play in the NFL and a lot of us have aspirations to move Michigan State into one of the top teams in the country," said quarterback Kirk Cousins, a senior and an NFL prospect. "And to do that you've gotta be able to line up against NFL-type talent, you've gotta be able to play big-time teams like Georgia and prove that you belong."
Michigan State's defense is actually ranked fifth nationally, two spots behind Georgia. And there are plenty of other good defenses in the Big Ten. But Cousins said the Bulldogs would have "one of the best, if not the best defense in the Big Ten."
Cousins got a few snaps in the 2009 Capital One Bowl, but he granted that this Georgia defense is on a different level than the one he faced back then.
"When you look at their team they're big, they're fast, they're everything you look for in a defense," Cousins said. "Obviously the headliner is No. 29 with the way he's played on the edge all year. What's impressive about him is he wasn't really a big name starting the season. So when you don't even have the hype to start and you finish with all the accolades and the attention he's received, it shows how good of a player he really is. He's as good a player as we've played all year, and he'll be a whale to contain."
There's also familiarity in Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, at least with Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio. The two were both on Nick Saban's staff at Michigan State in the late 1990s, working together in the same room for three years, and Dantonio described Grantham as a very good friend.
"Obviously he brings a lot of energy to the game," Dantonio said. "He believes in an aggressive form of play. I think he's a technician. He teaches very well, is a great teacher, and he's a great technician. You see that with Georgia's football team."
A matchup between teams from the SEC and Big Ten usually brings to mind the stereotypes of each conference -- the SEC with speed and athleticism and the Big Ten with physical and plodding play.
But the Spartans don't buy into that.
"I feel like those are outdated types of opinions," Linthicum said. "As college football continues to progress you see the major conferences having skill and power, a good mixture and especially with our team, our D-line is massive. And yet we have guys like (receivers) B.J. (Cunningham) and Keshawn (Martin) who are extremely skillful and can play in any conference. You look at Georgia, they're not all skill; they have a massive D-line. So it's kind of growing to where the major conferences have a little bit of everything. More evenly matched."
In fact, the Spartans and Bulldogs each enter this game with 10 wins, and both just lost in their conference title game. Dantonio also pointed out that Georgia is ranked in the top 10 in four different defensive categories, just like Michigan State.
So to the Spartans, this game is a measuring stick.
"Georgia's more of a team that we compare to, and losing their championship game to a great LSU team, and us to Wisconsin, who is obviously very comparable to us, Georgia is a great measuring stick," Linthicum said. "And if we're able to get the job done, we'll know we'll be able to compete against good teams in major conferences."
Rambo talks NFL
Georgia junior safety Bacarri Rambo said he received a third-round grade from the NFL drafty advisory board, which advises underclassmen before they make their decision on whether to leave or stay.
The grade clearly disappointed Rambo, who was named a first-team All-American by the AP.
"They just watch film. They don't know my character. They don't know what I do to come out," Rambo said.
Rambo, who said he was "still 50-50" on whether to go pro, said the third-round grade would make him work harder.
"Since I've been here I've learned to accept criticism," Rambo said. "I just take that and just learn from it. It just makes me a better person, a stronger person. I just take that and run with it, and it just motivates me, because it just makes me work even harder."
Tight end Orson Charles also applied to the draft advisory board, but said he hasn't heard back yet. Several other Bulldogs are considering the jump, including linebacker Cornelius Washington and cornerback Branden Smith.

A New Jersey father of five girls is celebrating the birth of his first son.
Kennedy Zarour's priceless reaction was captured on camera on March 8 in the delivery room by his wife, who was undergoing a C-section.
Zarour was wearing a mask and a surgical uniform as doctors performed the C-section. When they told him the baby was a boy, Zaour leaped out of his seat and started screaming with joy.
"Yeah, baby!" yelled Zarour. "I got a boy!"
One of the medical professionals in the room politely asked him to calm down, so he wouldn't scare anybody.
According to Inside Edition, Zarour has two 20-year-old daughters from a previous marriage. He and his wife, Natalie, have three daughters together.
The couple named their son Gerard.
"Today" show host Hoda Kotb revealed in February that she had secretly adopted a daughter, and now she's talking about how she did it.
In a new interview with E! News, the new mother dished about the adoption process and how she made sure to keep it under wraps until it was finalized.
"I started the application process in the fall, and they said, 'We can't make any promises. We wish you good luck. Wait wisely,'" Kotb told E! "I lived my life, but in my journal every night I scribbled 'Please, God, if you can …'"Kotb was overjoyed when her wish came true on Valentine's Day but said she trusted only a few close family members and co-host Kathie Lee Gifford with the news before going public.
She described the moment when she found out about the finalization of the adoption.
"I'm in my office, and I'm FaceTiming somebody for some story about God only knows what. My phone has the word 'project' on it as a contact, and I use the word 'project' so I wouldn't slip up and say 'adoption' because I was trying to keep it very private. Kath, my family and a couple (of) friends knew," she told E!. "I saw the word 'project,' and I stopped the FaceTime, and I stopped everything. I took out a yellow pad and I wrote, '11:54 a.m.' This is the moment it all changed.
"The woman on the other end said, 'She's here,' and that was it."
Kotb, who temporarily left the "Today" show while she spent a month at home with her new bundle of joy, said that when baby items would arrive to her apartment, she told the doorman that she was hosting a baby shower.
"It's a crib. Yay, it's a rocker. Yay, Pampers arrived," she joked. "There was a point when the cat had to be brought out of the bag, and that's when I revealed (the news) here on the show."
Kotb returned to "Today" this week after taking maternity leave to bond with her new baby. She was welcomed back by fans and fellow anchors. The day was emotional for the TV veteran.
"I'm feeling great. I don't think I've ever been this happy," she said through joyful tears.
Kidnapping survivor and activist Elizabeth Smart shared the first image of her second child on Easter Sunday.
In the picture, Smart's 2-year-old daughter, Chloe, is snuggled up with her baby brother.
"These two make my Easter perfect!#soinlove #happyeaster #sundaysareforfamily #blessed #bigthingsinlittlepackages," Smart wrote.
According to People magazine, Smart was due to give birth on April 2, but it has not been confirmed if she gave birth that day. The baby boy's name has not been revealed.
Smart was kidnapped from her home in 2002 by Brian David Mitchell and was held captive by Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee, for nine months before her rescue in 2003. Since the abduction, Smart has worked as a motivational speaker and has been a contributor to "Crime Watch Daily."
Smart married Matthew Gilmour in Hawaii in 2012 and welcomed daughter Chloe in February 2015.
Smart posted a photo earlier Sunday of her daughter participating in an Easter egg hunt.
Smart set her Instagram account to private on Monday afternoon.
Twins usually share the same birthday, but one set of twins in Houston, Texas, will celebrate their birthdays two weeks apart.
Little Amara Woolridge was born in January at just 24 weeks. She weighed 1 pound, 3 ounces.
"When I saw her feet kicking, that was just the best moment," her mother, LaTroya Woolridge, told KTRK. "At the same time, I was afraid of what was going to happen next because she was so tiny."
Two weeks later, Arthur Woolridge III arrived, weighing 2 pounds 2 ounces.
LaTroya Woolridge drove herself to the hospital during a storm when she started feeling labor pains.
Doctors made the decision to deliver Amara and hoped that Arthur would be able to develop further before delivery. They worried that their lungs and circulatory systems might not develop properly.
Doctors said the babies are doing well, KTRK reported. LaTroya Woolridge and her husband, Arthur Woolridge II, hope to bring them home soon.
They're looking forward to the years ahead.
"I can see her saying (to her brother), 'Oh, I'm going to get my license 14 days before you,'" said LaTroya Woolridge.
This week, Alabama will join two other U.S. states — Ohio and New Jersey — in launching a program that offers free baby boxes to families of newborns in the state.
Here's what you should know about the boxes, their origin and why states are adopting the program:
What is a baby box and where did the idea come from?
The idea originates from 1930s Finland, when nearly one out of 10 infants died in their first year, according to the New York Times.
The Finnish boxes — which include bedding and nearly 50 other items — are given as an incentive for mothers to see a doctor during pregnancy; to obtain one, expecting mothers had to undergo a medical exam during the first four months.
An average of 40,000 boxes are given to Finland's mothers-to-be every year.
Today, Finland has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world — 2.5 for every 1,000 births, according to the Central Intelligence Agency.
Why are U.S. states adopting baby box programs?
The U.S. infant mortality rate — 5.8 for every 1,000 births — is more than double that of Finland.
And according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 3,700 U.S. newborns suffered sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) in 2015.
One of the big risk factors associated with SUIDs is bed sharing.
When mothers can't afford cribs, it's not uncommon for bed sharing to occur.
With the high U.S. infant mortality rate and SUIDs statistics, some states are offering baby boxes to encourage postpartum safe sleep.
Which U.S. states have adopted baby boxes?
New Jersey became the first state to distribute baby boxes to prevent newborn deaths, followed by Ohio and now, Alabama.
California-based Baby Box Co. teamed up with state hospitals, child fatality organizations and other nonprofits to produce and distribute bassinet-sized boxes. According to NPR, New Jersey plans to distribute 105,000 boxes; Ohio, 140,000; Alabama, 60,000.
What exactly is included in a U.S. baby box?
Though the details may differ across states and countries, the laminated cardboard boxes are usually well-built, mobile and come with a foam mattress and fitted sheet.
Often, the boxes will also include a onesie, diapers, wipes and breastfeeding accessories.
While the Finnish boxes were given to expecting mothers if and only if they underwent a medical exam during the first four months, the boxes in the three states are given away for free to families of newborns.
As part of the U.S. program, parents are expected to educate themselves by watching online videos about SIDs and safe sleep and test their knowledge through a short quiz.
"Through education and awareness, people can make better choices and hopefully we can see fewer children dying," Dr. Kathryn McCans, chair of New Jersey's Child Fatality and Near Fatality review board, told NPR.
Is a Safe Haven Baby Box the same as a baby box?
No. The Safe Haven Baby Box refers to a heated and padded incubator that allows new moms a safe way to give up their babies, rather than simply abandoning them.
In 2016, Indiana installed two boxes at fire stations as an extension of the state's Safe Haven law, which offers parents complete anonymity when giving up an unwanted newborn younger than 45 days without being arrested or prosecuted, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported last year.

Baby Eirianna weighed just 13 ounces when she was born premature on Oct. 4, 2016. She was expected to arrive in January.
She was admitted to Mount Sinai's NICU after her birth, where she received around-the-clock care for 140 days, WLS-TV reported. She's the smallest patient to survive at the hospital.
"She was the smallest baby I ever took care of here," Amanda Kim, a NICU nurse, told WLS.
But according to Sinai Health System, Eirianna now weighs more than 6 pounds and breathes room air.
One of the nurses said it's not obvious that the baby girl was born premature anymore.
Enitan Martins was only 23 weeks pregnant when doctors told her it would be best for her to deliver the baby. Martins, who was on bed rest, had preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure for which the only cure is delivery of the baby.
"He comes in one day and says, 'We're having the baby now. I'm calling your husband, we're gonna do it,'" Martins told WLS of her doctor.
Doctors performed a C-section, and Eirianna was born so fragile that her parents couldn't touch her for weeks.
This week, after many days and nights at the hospital, Eirianna got to go home with her family.
"I'm just grateful," Martins told WLS. "It's been a long haul."

While Tom Brady helped his team make Super Bowl history on Sunday, his latest namesake was just arriving in the world.

Brady James Gaffney was born during the third quarter of the Super Bowl at Falmouth Hospital in Falmouth, Massachusetts, and his parents decided to name him after the popular quarterback.
Is it a coincidence that Brady was born right as the Patriots began their epic comeback, rallying 31 unanswered points starting in the third quarter? Possibly.
The seven pounds and seven ounces baby boy was born during the third quarter of the big game at 8:49 p.m., according to Robin Lord, a spokeswoman for Cape Cod Healthcare.

The Falcons led the Patriots 28-3 in the third quarter before the Patriots went on to score 25 straight points and tie the game up. The Patriots went on to earn the biggest Super Bowl comeback ever in the first overtime in Super Bowl history, with a Patriots win and a final score of 34-28.
But the miraculous finish will always be remembered by the Gaffney family.
The Patriots -- led by Brady and head coach Bill Belichick -- have won the Super Bowl five times, with championship wins in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2015.
A Michigan woman is enjoying time with her new baby boy after doctors said she beat all odds, surviving an aneurysm while pregnant and making a full recovery.
Anna Weeber, of Michigan, is the proud mother of 4-week-old Hudson and 2-year-old Declan. She recently reunited with the doctor who saved her, Dr. Justin Singer, of Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids.
"I'm so excited," Weeber said, according to an article posted by Spectrum Health. "This is the guy that saved my life and my baby's life."
According to People, when Weeber was 26 weeks pregnant, she suffered a blinding headache while preparing to go out on a bike ride with her husband and her son. The pain was so bad that she started vomiting.
As her husband, Nate, called 911, she realized she couldn't feel the left side of her body.
"From that moment on, I don't remember anything," Weeber said.

When she arrived at the hospital, doctors performed tests and soon identified a ruptured brain aneurysm. An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel balloons in the brain. When it ruptures, the vessel pops, and could cause a life-threatening stroke.
Singer felt moved by Weeber's case because his own wife was 24 weeks pregnant at the time.
Weeber underwent surgery and spent weeks in the hospital for observation and recovery. Amazingly, she suffered no complications after the aneurysm.
According to Spectrum Health, half of the patients who suffer an aneurysm don't survive, and most who do survive never return to full health.
Last month, she and her husband welcomed their 9-pound baby boy.
"After Hudson was first born, he and I would make eye contact when I was holding him and I would just start crying," Weeber said. "We had both been through so much, and I felt like he knew that."
When the family reunited with Singer, his eyes welled up with tears.
"I didn't expect to feel so emotional," said Singer. "This is fantastic … It makes me feel good."
Anna and Nate credit her excellent recovery to the doctors who cared for her and the power of prayer. According to Spectrum Health, Nate put out a prayer request on Facebook when his wife first fell ill.
"People all around the world were praying for us," said Nate.

At WellStar Atlanta Medical Center's NICU, Santa visited with 19 families and their babies earlier this month. Many of the infants were born premature, often with respiratory issues or infections, said Heidi Squires, who works with March of Dimes at the hospital as the NICU family support program coordinator.
Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center is the only hospital in metro Atlanta that partners with the March of Dimes to provide comfort and care to families while their babies are in the hospital, Squires said.
This is the second year the hospital has hosted the event, Squires said. Santa's visit was put on with help from hospital volunteers, and families received copies of the photos.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 25, 2016) - This document updates the Toronto Real Estate Board release sent at 9:16 AM ET on November 25. Additional information regarding the Land Transfer Tax has been added. The complete and updated release follows.
The Toronto Real Estate Board is raising concerns over proposed Toronto Land Transfer Tax changes. These proposed changes will increase costs for all Toronto home buyers, but impact first-time buyers the most.
This TLTT proposal comes at a time when housing affordability in Toronto is a serious concern for many, and contradicts recent Provincial government Land Transfer Tax changes intended to help make housing more affordable.
"In recent months, housing affordability in Toronto has received significant attention not only from the City's residents and businesses, but also from senior levels of government, which have been actively considering policy options in this regard. The proposed changes to the City of Toronto's Land Transfer Tax are a cash grab, and would make all Toronto home buyers pay more Toronto Land Transfer Tax, which means that the City is proposing to make home ownership in Toronto even more expensive," said Larry Cerqua, President of the Toronto Real Estate Board.
A report that will be going to the City of Toronto's Executive Committee next week is proposing that the City's upcoming 2017 Budget process consider numerous changes to the way the Toronto Land Transfer Tax is implemented by harmonizing with the higher provincial Land Transfer Tax rates, including:
The purchaser of an average priced home already pays over $11,000 in Land Transfer Tax to the City. The proposed changes, if implemented, would mean that a purchaser of an average-priced Toronto home, currently, would pay $750 more Land Transfer Tax to City Hall, representing a seven percent increase. A first-time home buyer of an average- priced Toronto home would pay an extra $475 to City Hall, representing a 4% increase. This is in addition to the $75 Land Transfer Tax Administration Fee added through last year's City budget process.
"These proposed changes would mean that the City's budget relies even more heavily on a revenue source that has already been criticized by the City Manager for being unpredictable and unreliable. City Hall should be focused on making home ownership in this great City more affordable, not less; and should be relying less on this tax, not more," said Von Palmer, Chief Communications and Government Affairs Officer at TREB. "TREB will be participating in the City's upcoming budget consultations and will be raising concerns with these proposals if they move forward."
Greater Toronto REALTORS® are passionate about their work. They are governed by a strict Code of Ethics and share a state-of-the-art Multiple Listing Service. Over 46,000 residential and commercial TREB Members serve consumers in the Greater Toronto Area. TREB is Canada's largest real estate board.

Gerard Way Quotes About FunQuotes about: Fun
What I like about The Sims is that I don't have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It's fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favourite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She's really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It's pretty huge.
Just draw 'cause you love it, you know, I think that's why you should be doing it. You should always be doing art for the right reasons, um, and with the best intentions. Anything at all is completely possible and I think that's what I like about drawing. I think it's just really fun. You can do anything you want. And that's part of, like, what's really enjoyable about it... is kind of losing yourself in it.

A police officer arrested in October on allegations of sexual assault by a public servant, official oppression and theft has been fired.
Douglas V. Campbell's indefinite suspension from the Fort Worth Police Department took effect Dec. 23, according to Civil Service documents obtained Monday by the Star-Telegram.
Campbell, 33, is accused of sexually assaulting a prostitute, threatening another that he would take her to jail if she did not engage in sexual activity, and stealing $2 from an abandoned vehicle.
He was indicted on the sexual assault and official oppression cases Dec. 18 and remains free on bail awaiting trial in all three cases, according to Tarrant County court records.
"Officer Campbell, of course, denies those accusations in the indictments and looks forward to his day in court," said Jim Lane, his defense attorney.
Campbell has appealed his termination. His attorney in the appeal, Craig Driskell of the Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas, declined to comment Monday.
The department's special investigation unit began investigating Campbell after receiving information in August from other officers that Campbell was possibly having sex with prostitutes.
Investigators began conducting surveillance of Campbell, then interviewing women with whom he had contact.
One prostitute told officers that Campbell had removed his penis from his pants and had told her to engage in sexual contact with him or he would take her to jail. She said the conversation stopped, however, when another officer drove up, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Another prostitute told investigators that Campbell had touched her and pulled her G-string between her legs, causing her pain, the affidavit states.
According to the disciplinary letter signed by Police Chief Jeff Halstead, Campbell admitted paying for sexual acts at least five times since being commissioned as a Fort Worth officer in 2007.
The theft charge stems from allegations that Campbell removed $2 from an abandoned vehicle that he had been dispatched to, then give it to a female friend whom he had arranged to meet there. The incident was recorded, according to the disciplinary letter.
Campbell also did not accurately report the chain of custody of narcotics found inside the van, the disciplinary letter states.
Halstead said an internal investigation sustained eight allegations of misconduct against Campbell.
"His actions are a disgrace to our department, our city, and the policing profession," Halstead said in an emailed statement. "I will continue to hold all employees accountable for any violations of policy that jeopardize the level of public trust within our community."

Anthony Davis is injured once again, putting a scare for NBA fans that want to see him play for a full and healthy season. Latest rumors claim that he'd have another season filled with injuries with confirmed reports that he'd be missing the next two weeks because of an ankle sprain.
ESPN reports that Davis is expected to miss about two weeks because of the ankle injury (Grade 2 ankle sprain) he suffered in a preseason game against the Houston Rockets.
ALSO READ: Derrick Rose says the NBA taught him to dispose used condom during his rookie year
The good news for Pelicans fans is that it's not the same injury Davis suffered that caused him to miss a lot of games in his NBA career. Davis has never played a full 82-game schedule in four years in New Orleans.
The development is scary for the Pelicans management as well which gave him a $127 million contract for over five years last offseason.
Since 2013, Davis has suffered injuries to his left hand, ankle, back, chest, groin, shoulder and toe so the latest injury puts in question his durability for the NBA season.
If Davis misses the full two weeks he's expected because of the ankle injury, he'd miss the Pelicans' season opener versus the Denver Nuggets.
ALSO READ: Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies to miss playoffs, according to ESPN expert
Anthony Davis averaged 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.0 shot blocks per game last season. This one is minor but the Pelicans need Davis to be fully healthy the entire season if they want to make the NBA Playoffs.
The good news for NBA fans is that Davis' latest injury is just a short-term one. However, every time the big man is in the injury news, there will be rumors that he will again be out for a long time, or for the season.

Paris, La Défense. It is the business center of Paris which is curious to tourists and it is useful to workers of office centers. This area at present isn't connected in any way visually with water. Buildings could be much more useful to people.
First of all it is necessary to note the person consumption of water. To try as much as possible to keep fresh water. As already all over the world many countries have a water scarcity. And my prediction that a climate will be unconditional to change and the water scarcity will come to big cities like Paris.
One of constructive ideas of a kind of this picture is collecting of rain water for economic needs and cultivation of plants on the facades of buildings. I have tried to show some kinds of possible sources of collecting of rain water: one buildings does it by means of umbrellas which established on a roof, others by means of facade systems but function at all is identical. Also there is the adapted artificial flowers which reveal when it starts to rain are shown, thus the certain territory doesn't lose "precious water". Creation of green facades promotes cooling of buildings, it predicts rise in temperature to 2050.
The following important stage is potable water manufacture by an accessible way for everyone. Watercone and SolarBall make potable water by a condensate. Use of some devices specifies in climate change. Also that the person can receive necessary quantity of potable water in very accessible way. Also climate change is displayed on pictures on an example of clouds. They become closer to the ground surface. At the expense of it there are favorable conditions: shading, and also established on roofs of a buildings the device which can get water from a fog or clouds.
And in the end I would like to mention that in the world since 1993 the World Water Day of 22 Marth is have spent. I would like to say that such days are very important for mankind. Because in days like this we can inform people on that, how many water remains in the world and how much it is important for human life. I consider that if to inform the important message to one person -we can inform to hundred. And then people can save The Water.
