Thank you for the uplifting words.
I think fear is always attached to anything that one does without fully understanding what they are doing. This has a difficult learning curve, but not impossible. I am working to pay off debt but all tries are being reversed. I have talked to the companies to find out where they get the authority to reverse my payments. They tell me that the FRB just wont pay them stating that the FRB tells them they are a "limited participation bank". I asked for proof that they didn't receive funds and they decline, referring me back to the FRB. So for me, not so much fear as frustration. In my life experience i have found that the things that have really mattered have not been easy. Please keep feeding us information and have patience with us asking questions. This is not easy to digest.
In LOVE and PEACE

Thank you for your LOVE of humanity and your tireless efforts for all of us. I AM SO GRATEFUL!!
I believe fear is something we all have when exploring unchartered territory. Doing something for the first time can be overwhelming, like riding a roller-coaster for the first time, but after that initial ride your fear dissipate and the more you ride the more you become fearless. That my friends are what we have been experiencing. Unchartered territory were few have going(like Randy and Heather) that give hope to us all.

We are ONE in the light.
Your message resonates with me.
When each life force goes down the 'rabbit hole' to take back what is theirs, they are in for more than the 'prize' of $.
All that shows up in your NOW, is either a LESSON or a BLESSING. If lessons keep showing up, in the form of, Reversals, maybe instead of pushing, you need to reverse the SPIRIT within you, that is driving you into continued frustration. Peace, trust, flow, go back to excitement for what is coming, and come at it from a place of ease.
Be thankful you are here, at the leading edge of a NEW WORLD for all souls

6) USNORTHCOM (Home/America)
From now on folks, be your own intelligence officer.
Wake up and smell the pig-siht: 12 mile long columns of oil tankers -thousands of them for years crossing into Turkey ..creating millions of dollars a day for ISIL ..and Obama and his CIA (+6 million security state employees) could not find them to destroy them or the terrorists –until Putin presented the satellite imagery OH PLEASE!!!!! ..$6 Trillion spent on wars to destroy countries = $75,000 per head = conjured up 'Fiat Currency Dollars' by Goldman Sachs et al conmen: All privatized Fiat Currency is created out of thin air as sign-here 'debt' +interest
It's a privatized slavery scheme called the Bank of England / Federal Reserve. These are the rotten human excrement behind ALL the wars and atrocities to install Fiat currency central banks in each country = new jurisdiction areas
All that money printing DID NOT WORK. There was no escape velocity like they said there would be –and now we are up to our necks in BLOOD and DEBT –Now wasn't this the REAL plan all along?!?!?!
All engineered by Dr Evils in their little London and Washington bunkers
Dr Evils Master Plan Revealed -"We are going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years" –Pentagon
Here is 100% credible intelligence and all the proof needed -because it is the truth
General Wesley Clarke 4-star, once head of NATO forces -Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO from 1997 to 2000, now says he was told back in Gulf War One days (1991) -that 'they had about 12 years to clean out the soviet client countries' -he says it kinda went over his head at the time as he was in 'being a soldier frame of mind'. Now he is telling us how things really are
youtube; Wes Clark America's Foreign Policy "Coup" (7m)
Retired 4-star General Wesley Clark says he was told 2 weeks after 9/11 "They planned to take down 7 countries in 5 years; Iraq
"We've got about five years to clean up the Soviet client regimes ..before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us"
He says soon after 9/11 it said in a memo from the Secretary of Defence office in the Pentagon
"We are going to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years"
Clark says Paul Wolfowitz said 'we learned that we could use our troops in the region and the soviets won't stop us' -It was a pretty stunning thing, I mean the purpose of the military is to start wars and change governments?? it's not to sort of deter a a conflict?? we are going to have to invade countries?? and you know ..my mind was spinning."
"And I put that aside. It was like a nugget that you hold on to. This country was taken over with a policy coup. Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld, and you could name another half dozen collaborators from the Project For A New American Century. These people took control of the policy of the United States. They wanted to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control. It went back to those comments in 1991. Now did anybody tell you that? Was there a national dialogue on this? Did senators and congressman stand up and denounce this plan? Was there a full fledged American debate on it? Absolutely not; and there are still isn't, and that's why we are failing in Iraq, because Iran and Syria know about the plan.
All you have to do is read the the Weekly Standard and Bill Kristol and he blabber mouthed it out all over the world…. They could hardly wait to finish Iraq, so they could move in to Syria. It was like a lay down, oh our legions are going to go in there. This wasn't what the American people voted George Bush in to office.."

The Money Masters documentary (1996) is the most comprehensive documentary on the subject ever

[ The Money Masters is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.
The success of the central banking scheme developed into a far-reaching plan described by President Clinton's mentor, Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley, "to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank….sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the levels of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
Several short-lived attempts to impose the central banking scheme on the United States were defeated by the patriotic efforts of Presidents Madison, Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren and Lincoln. But with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, America was firmly lashed to the same yoke, so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the masses a yoke little better than slavery itself. That yoke inevitably grows heavier with ever-compounding interest, and totals over $20 trillion of debt owed by the American people today ($80,000 per American) ultimately to these bankers.
This vast accumulation of wealth concentrates immense power and despotic economic domination in the hands of the few central bankers "who are able to govern credit and its allotment, for this reason supplying, so to speak, the life-blood to the entire economic body, and grasping, as it were, in their hands the very soul of the economy so that no one dare breathe against their will." ] end excerpt
The truth is a game changer -If they can't get what they want by deceit -they INVADE. These murderous freeloading psychopaths always need more territory, resources and people to bleed, bully and enslave.
It's clear these people are complete psychopaths or the devil incarnate
We urgently need to get people up to speed with the truth, facts and events
excerpt from None Dare Call It Conspiracy (1971)
[ Since the keystone of the international banking empires has been government bonds it has been in the interest of these international bankers to encourage government debt. The higher the debt the more the interest.
Nothing drives government deeply into debt like a war; and it has not been an uncommon practice among international bankers to finance both sides of the bloodiest military conflicts. For example, during our Civil War the North was financed by the Rothschilds through their American agent, August Belmont, and the American South through the Erlangers, Rothschild relatives.
But while wars and revolutions have been useful to international bankers in gaining or increasing control over governments, the key to such control has always been control of money. You can control a government if you have it in your debt; a creditor is in a position to demand the privileges of monopoly from the sovereign. Money-seeking governments have granted monopolies in state banking, natural resources, oil concessions and transportation. However, the monopoly which the international financiers most covet is control over a nation's money.
Eventually these international bankers actually owned as private corporations the central banks of the various European nations.
The Bank of England, Bank of France and Bank of Germany were not owned by their respective governments, as almost everyone imagines, but were privately owned monopolies granted by the heads of state, usually in return for loans.
Under this system, observed Reginald McKenna, President of the Midlands Bank of England: "Those that create and issue the money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people" ]
This has little or nothing to do with religion -we are dealing with the worlds most dangerous 'hidden hands' criminals hiding in religions and banks -nice cozy places -easy to drum up support and get sex -babies are born and the whole scam moves on down the line and centuries. They only know how to survive by leaching and financial slavery thru their privatized Fiat Currency (money) schemes, fronted through their central banks brotherhood -the 'Federal Reserve' ..Bank of England etc. -now they have been caught for their evil and murderous schemes and atrocities. They are expert in the field of enslavement having been practicing it as a way of life for centuries, handing down the skill to their off-sperms and handsomely paid management. Don't waste this priceless opportunity to break free from these tyrants and restore our communities to their rightful settings.
excerpt from The Money Masters transcripts;
[ Senator Barry Goldwater was a frequent critic of the Fed:
"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international moneylenders … The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and … manipulates the credit of the United States"
Does that power affect you?
"The Fed really is more powerful than the federal government. It is more powerful than the President, Congress or the courts.
Let me prove my case. The Fed determines what the average person's car payment and house payments are going to be and whether they have a job or not. And I submit to you – that is total control. The Fed is the largest single creditor of the U.S. government. What does Proverbs tell us? The borrower is servant to the lender." – Larry Bates
What one has to understand is that from the day the Constitution was adopted right up to today, the folks who profit from privately owned central banks, like the Fed, or, as President Madison called them, the "Money Changers," have fought a running battle for control over who gets to issue America's money.
Why is who issues the money so important?
Think of money as just another commodity. If you have a monopoly on a commodity that everyone needs, everyone wants, and nobody has enough of, there are lots of ways to make a profit and also exert tremendous political influence.
That's what this battle is all about. Throughout the history of the United States, the money power has gone back and forth between Congress and some sort of privately-owned central bank. The American people fought off four privately-owned central banks, before succumbing to the first stage of a fifth privately-owned central bank during a time of national weakness – the Civil War.
The founding fathers knew the evils of a privately-owned central bank. First of all, they had seen how the privately-owned British central bank, the Bank of England, had run up the British national debt to such an extent that Parliament had been forced to place unfair taxes on the American colonies.
I n fact, as we'll see later, Ben Franklin claimed that this was the real cause of the American Revolution. Most of the founding fathers realized the potential dangers of banking, and feared bankers' accumulation of wealth and power. Jefferson put it this way:
"I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs. "
That succinct statement of Jefferson is in fact, the solution to most of our economic problems today. James Madison, the main author of the Constitution, agreed. Interestingly, he called those behind the central bank scheme "Money Changers." Madison strongly criticized their actions:
"History records that the Money Changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance."
The battle over who gets to issue our money has been the pivotal issue through the history of the United States. Wars are fought over it. Depressions are caused to acquire it. Yet after World War I, this battle was rarely mentioned in newspapers or history books.
By World War I, the Money Changers with their dominant wealth, had seized control of most of the nation's press. ] End excerpt
So there we have it –the truth is a simple thing – xxx millions across the planet fv'cked up the a hole for over a century by a bunch of lying thieving pig-shit hiding in WASHINGTON DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA , the CORPORATION OF LONDON, and their Middle East Zionist HQ base of Israel, now joined by their royal head-chopper boyfriends.

Miscellaneous Expenditures — Payments and Fees
Payment Voucher Approval and Certification
General requirements
A state agency may only expend appropriated funds through the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) System of the Comptroller's office, or on a warrant drawn by the Comptroller's office.
The Comptroller's office may make a payment on behalf of a state agency only when:
- The agency properly submits a payment voucher to the Comptroller's office requesting the payment,
- The document has been approved according to the requirements, and
- the Comptroller's office has audited and approved the document as required by law.
A state agency's approval of a voucher automatically includes the agency's approval of any interest that must be paid at the same time the principal amount is paid to a vendor under the prompt payment law.
Sources [+]
Texas Government Code Section 404.046, 2103.004; 34 TAC §5.61(b).
Payment voucher approval
Only an individual who has inherent authority — includes the presiding officer or head of an agency that is either an elected or appointed official as per 34 TAC §5.61(f)(2) — or designated authority — the elected or appointed agency head or the governing body of a state agency may designate one or more individuals as per 34 TAC §5.61(f)(4) — may approve a payment voucher.
Whether inherent or designated, voucher approval by an authorized individual may occur only after:
- The Comptroller's office has received a signature card,
- The authorized individual's security profile has been established according to applicable procedures and requirements, and
- In the case of someone who has designated authority, the Comptroller's office has received proper written notice of the designation.
When an individual approves a payment voucher, the individual automatically provides its certification. Upon certification of a voucher, the individual automatically approves it. An individual may not provide the certification for a voucher without also approving it.

Who may not approve payment vouchers
An individual not employed by a state agency may not approve, and may not be designated to approve, a state agency's payment vouchers.
An officer or employee may not approve, and may not be designated to approve, another agency's vouchers.
If a state agency submits a voucher that requests payment out of the funds of a second state agency, no officer or employee of the agency that submits the voucher may approve it.
Source [+]
34 TAC §5.61(e).
Revocation of payment voucher approval authority
Revocation of approval authority can occur for the following reasons:
- A state agency's head of agency or its governing body may revoke someone's authority to approve payment vouchers at anytime, regardless of who designated someone's approval authority. The Comptroller's office must receive written notification of the revocation within ten days of when the revocation decision is made.
- Revocation is mandatory when an individual terminates employment with a state agency. The date of termination is the effective date of revocation. The Comptroller's office must receive notification by email, fax, or a security profile change request within five days of the termination.
- The Comptroller's office may revoke the designation of any individual to approve vouchers for any reason the Comptroller's office deems appropriate.
The Comptroller's office is responsible for changing the security profile, if the Comptroller's office revoked the designation. Otherwise, the security coordinator of the state agency that revoked the designation is responsible.
Procedures for Removing Authority and Security to Approve Expenditures

Texas Government Code Section 2103.061–2103.062; 34 TAC §5.61(k) (1)–(5).
Payment control

Build an EA (Expert Advisor) based on the open source SUPDEM indicator that I have attached.
The indicator basically draws supply zones as rectangles above current price a demand zones below current price. When zones are broken, they will disappear.
You will probably need to study a bit the indicator in order to understand how the EA can interact with it.
The GENERAL RULES for the EA strategy are:
• M15 timeframe ONLY
• Supply/Demand zones timeframe is always M30 (supdem-indicator parameter must be set correctly inside the EA)
• If Price is at Supply level, only SELL order allowed.
• If Price is at Demand level, only BUY order allowed
• Only 1 opened trade is allowed per zone (but if a trade reaches its target and closes, the same zone can be used for another trade)
• STOP LOSS is placed with the order if allowed or immediately after if ECN-broker.
• TAKE PROFIT is placed with the order if allowed or immediately after if ECN-broker.
I will provide additional details about buy/sell signals and the trade management rules by PM.

What does a Sexologist do?
Everyone's heard that guys think about sex every seven seconds. But where did this come from? And is it even true? As a Sexologist, you can answer these questions because you spend your days researching and investigating different aspects of sexuality. You think about what "normal" sexual behavior is, how culture influences sex, and how sexual dysfunction comes about.
In other words, your job as a Sexologist is to be an expert on sex. You can approach your task in a few different ways. For example, you might spend your days doing research, carrying out studies, or seeing patients. What you focus on under the title of Sexologist will dictate what your day-to-day activities look like.
Just like any researcher, you start sex research with a question that you want to find answers to. You might be interested in sexual deviance and how certain turn-ons work. Or you might study why some couples lose interest in each other the longer they're together, and how that can be fixed. You form a theory, devise an experiment, and then test your beliefs before reporting your findings in a paper or report.
When you hold therapy sessions, you combine your experience as an Educator and researcher to approach the topic of sex from a more research-oriented point of view. This may be different from how other Sex Therapists do the job.
Sex is still very much a taboo topic, so the role of Educator in this field is an incredibly important one. You present the evidence you have gathered through research and study, and use this in an effort to prevent disease, encourage acceptance of different sexual lifestyles, and generally improve the sex lives of people.

The most transparent White House ever? NOT. Obama's DOJ seeks FOIA exemption for visitor records
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press reports that the Obama administration through its Justice Department, is continuing to argue that it has the right to shield White House Visitor Logs, citing they should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
Now as we saw yesterday, the administration is currently complying with the law, having released hundreds of thousands of WH appointments. That is why you learned that there were 88 visits by various HRC board members, along with Joe Solmonese and David Smith, who traipsed through the WH doors over the last year — and we have zero major LGBT legislation passed so far.
No wonder the Justice Department wants your eyes off of who is getting face time with key WH figures. It's pretty sad when we're on the same side as Judicial Watch, the conservative thinktank that filed a public records lawsuit over this in 2009 — and won.
In its initial complaint filed December 7, 2009, Judicial Watch noted that the Obama administration's claim that the visitor logs are not agency records "has been litigated and rejected repeatedly" by the courts, although no appellate court has ruled squarely on the issue.
"The presidential communications privilege, as its name and the Circuit's opinions suggest, extends only to communications," Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia ruled in a similar lawsuit. "The visit records sought by plaintiff need only consist of the visitor's name, date and time of visit, and in some cases the name of the person requesting access for the visitor and in some cases the name of the person visited."
In the Obama administration's latest filing, however, they claim that "the district court cases on which [Judicial Watch] relies for a contrary conclusion were incorrectly decided." The government court filings also note the administration's new discretionary release policy with respect to the visitor logs, and cite national security concerns as an additional reason for withholding the records.
"The Obama administration would undermine a key transparency law in order to keep White House visitor logs secret," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a release. "Only the Obama administration could offer to release pre-scrubbed White House visitor logs while withholding tens of thousands of other records and call it transparency."

Trapattoni joins Ewood applicants
A rather surprising name has made it's way onto the Blackburn Rovers managerial applications list with news reaching us that Giovanni Trapattoni has applied for the managerial slot vacated by Steve Kean.
The Trap is currently the Republic of Ireland national manager but has put his name forward for the role, sources close to Vital Blackburn have been told.
Rovers have reportedly had over 20 managerial applicants including the likes of Alan Shearer, Paul Dickov and Peter Reid and word is that Shebby Singh and his team will be drawing up a list on Thursday to progress to the next stage of finding the new manager to take the club forward, which has become a shade more urgent since Bolton Wanderers are now picking from the same pool after the sacking of boss Owen Coyle this morning.
The search continues, but how would you feel about having 'the Trap' as the next Rovers boss?

The trick with prototypes is that you've got to find a way to take the identity fostered by merchandise and transfer it to the store level. And you have to also come up with a design that can be ported and replicated many times over.
FRCH Design Worldwide's concept for Merrell achieves those goals. Merrell has a strong brand identity and a devoted following among outdoor enthusiasts—especially in New England. The prototype is consistent with the overall brand identity.
It features some neat design elements to boot. The stocks of shoes sit behind moving walls. A rock ramp where costumers can test footwear lies in the middle of the store, among other features. This design offers an exploration of the senses.
FRCH was challenged with creating a unique identity, different from competing athletic footwear brands, relating the design to the shopper's personal outdoor experience and encouraging the shopper to leave the store and go outside. Reflecting the consumer's ultimate destination through the use of fixture materials, décor accents, color palette, and product presentation sets this store apart from its competitors. A simple materials palette portrays the outdoor message. Raw, natural materials are used including polished concrete flooring and plywood tables. Rocks made of felt offer a reference for the visual displays.
Merchandise is not only maximized but is highlighted to create an atmosphere of drama and intrigue, suggesting and building to your experience outdoors. It offers an exploration of the senses; come look, listen and touch. The store envelopes the customer and the products through an inspirational and interactive display of elements that change with the seasons while remaining true to the core of the brand, what it stands for and what it believes in.
The design makes the merchandise completely accessible to the customer, encouraging them to try items on, have fun, and find something unexpected. Product is not stored away under lock and key, it is stored behind the perimeter sliding door fixtures, on the sales floor, so the customer has the merchandise at their fingertips. The signature orange Merrell brand color stands out among the muted natural color palette and visual merchandising plan.
The topography wall, comprised of layers of wood to imitate and accent the environment, can be changed to feature the multitude of performance footwear and accessories, giving the customer a new experience with each visit. The curated wall displays product but also offers a testimonial from the user by incorporating items that might have been collected while using the merchandise. Customers' personal experiences can become part of the store concept and design.

When it comes to the success of digital marketing Slaughters Kentucky and finding new customers via the web, keyword optimization is one of the most important tools you can bet on. Keyword optimization or keyword research is the act of researching, analysing and selecting the best word or concept of great significance to your product, services or campaign in order to target and drive traffic from search engines such as Google to your website and other digital platforms.
Getting your website or blog on the first page of search engines can be a daunting task if you do not understand the fundamentals of optimization.
Why Are We The Best SEO Service In Slaughters Kentucky
It is very essential that the word you choose as the keyword is broad enough for lot of people to search for on the internet, but narrow enough that you have a decent chance of getting a high search rank for it on the search engines and results.
For example, the word "shoe" is way too general. However, "Where can I find cheap shoes online" is a pretty good one. Similarly, the word "Europe" is way too general and Wiki sites will normally dominate these top spots. So, "the best holiday destination in Europe" is a much better phrase to focus on.
The Uses of SEO
Search Engine Optimisation? It can be overwhelming. Full of jargon, terms, stats, and keywords.
Or at least, that's what you've been led to believe.
Today? We're changing all of that.
Because we're here to tell you that Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) doesn't have to be difficult!
In fact, it's such a simple concept we're able to break it down into just 6 easily defined parts!
1. Search Engine Optimisation starts with assuming the role of customers in your target market, and asking yourself the following question: "What phrases am I going to put into Google to find what I'm looking for?" That's right, phrases! While you may have heard these referred to as 'Keywords', this doesn't mean they're limited to just a single word.
2. Select the 5-10 phrases that you feel:
• Are related to your business, industry or niche.
• Are likely to be used most often.
• You have knowledge in and can write about.
Check the number of users searching using these phrases, and where you currently rank for them. The guide on keyword research will help with creating your list. Optimise your website for these phrases and generate links following our killer strategies outlined later in this guide. Wait three months, measure your progress, re-evaluate and make additional changes!
3 Quick & Simple Lessons In Search Engine Optimisation
Lesson 1 - What Do The Components Of A Result In Google Mean?
One of the best places to learn about SEO is so obvious it hurts! Where is this? Google's search results pages! Through examining the components of a result in Google, you can learn a lot about how the effective use of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) can help your business!
Lesson 3 - How Does Google Decide On The Order Of Search Results? Chances are you've searched more than once using the following phrase: 'How does Google rank websites?'
The results of this search includes literally hundreds of articles all looking to answer this exact question.
But the truth of the matter?
It's complicated!
Like the Colonel's eleven secret herbs and spices, Google are highly secretive as to how they decide on page rankings. But through the power of deduction, we now have a good understanding of just how this works!
And here's how:
Google uses the a web crawling bot called Googlebot, which crawls the internet to both:
1. Discover new pages.
2. Update existing ones.
As it does this, it follows every link it finds through to every web page. Creating an index of this content as it goes. This index is then run through a complex - and secretive! - algorithm that scores every web page it finds.
Yes, every one!
It then rates these for relevancy against every possible search phrase. The most relevant website for a specific search phrase? This is positioned first! Pages that implement Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) techniques like those outlined in this guide are able to send clearer signals to the Googlebot that yes, this site is the one you're looking for. Boosting their rating and increasing their search position!
A Revolution in Keyword Research and Search Engine Optimization
When it comes to the success of digital marketing and finding new customers via the web, keyword optimization is one of the most important tools you can bet on. Keyword optimization or keyword research is the act of researching, analysing and selecting the best word or concept of great significance to your product, services or campaign in order to target and drive traffic from search engines such as Google to your website and other digital platforms.
Getting your website or blog on the first page of search engines can be a daunting task if you do not understand the fundamentals of optimization. Although this tutorial is not guaranteeing you the first place in major search engines, it does point out what one needs to do to be in the Search Engine Optimization game.
It is much easier than you think and this article is to guide, help and provide you with the basic and key for successful search engine optimization:
Step 1. Choose the right keywords
It is tough to be the best at everything and that includes Keyword Optimization. The first step of reaching the top of search results is identifying the right keywords. It can either be a single or multiple words or entire phrases. As you might already be aware of, most searches on the internet are made in the form of a question. Therefore, before you start writing down the keywords, you need to decide which keywords you want to focus on. These are the words people would type into the search engines in order to find your page, blog, website or product.
It is very essential that the word you choose as the keyword is broad enough for lot of people to search for on the internet, but narrow enough that you have a decent chance of getting a high search rank for it on the search engines and results.
For example, the word "shoe" is way too general. However, "Where can I find cheap shoes online" is a pretty good one. Similarly, the word "Europe" is way too general and Wiki sites will normally dominate these top spots. So, "the best holiday destination in Europe" is a much better phrase to focus on.
Here are my top tips for choosing the right Keywords:
1. Start with customers
Think about who your target audience or customers are. What are they likely to type into the search bar when they are looking for answers where your services can help them? Why not ask existing customers what they would search for?
2. Weigh up the competition
Although it is important for you to choose words that many of your target audience might be typing into search engines, they should not be words that bigger companies with the most muscles and bigger budget will compete for.
3. Use Google tools
Guess not only. Google has several good tools which can aid you find what is popular to search.
On Google Trends, a public web facility based on Google Search engine, shows how often a particular search-term is entered relative to the total search-volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages including a list of popular searches. You can also enter keywords and see how popular they are, compared with other phrases and ideas on similar terms - in order to choose the one that most are looking for.
You can also find keywords using Google's ad tool AdWords. You do not necessary have to advertise, you can just create an account and select using the "Keyword Planner" under the "Tools" menu.
Step 2. Customise Your Content
Once you have successfully chosen your keywords, there are a few other things you need to do in order get your site ranked high on search engines. One of such things is content creation. You have to create and distribute relevant and valuable content (such as speech, writing, photograph or any of the various arts) that attracts and engages your well-defined target audience. Content marketing helps us to attract new customers and build loyalty with existing customers.
For existing customers, this could also mean they take part of the relevant content that creates additional sales by learning more about your offer, and is more expensive products/ services than they have done previously. The following are few tips to consider during content creation:
1. Working actively with texts
Use keywords in the title and preamble of all the pages. Also, include the keywords in the body, the much higher up it is in the text, the better it is for your ranking.
However, be careful not to use your keywords too much. Google may interpret your site as a nonsense page which is only trying to attract traffic and you go down in search results. A rule of thumb is that your content should feel natural and interesting. Which of course is also important for your visitors.
2. Do not forget your photos!
Rename even your photos with your relevant keywords. This will make it possible for search engines index them and you can get hit even in image search. If you have the opportunity to enter an alternative text for each image, do not let go of such an opportunity.
Step 3. Get visits and links from others
The most important thing for search engines is to deliver good and relevant results, remember that's their primary business. Therefore, priority is given to websites that Search engines deems others rate high or think is good. An example is sites with links and many visitors who stay long to engage with the site. Therefore, this is really important to:
1. Make sure to get a lot of visits to the page
Ask family and friends to visit your website. Get the link or URL out there as often as possible, for example, you make a video, put it up on YouTube and the links there - but incorporate all the content on your site and link to it there.
2. Ask others to link to your site
Ask friends, business partners or customers to link to you, perhaps in exchange for a link back or share interesting tips in your field and let others get put up pieces of contents with a link to you.
3. Share your site on social media
Sharing your website and contents on social media (not forgetting Google+ Google for obvious reasons) is extremely important. It can provide visits to the website, more traffic, attention and higher rankings
4. Get visitors to share
Get others to share your site and contents on social media, using "share" buttons. AddThis is a one of the free tools allows you to instantly share or bookmark pages with one easy-to-use tool. AddThis can also get statistics on how much your content is shared.
Step 4. Revise the technical
Even how your site is built technically is important for your rankings. Here are some things you can do:
1. Use Google Webmaster Tools (Now Google Search Console)
The Google Search Console (aka Google webmaster) is an amazing tool which offers many tools that will aid you to thoroughly analyse your site. From this analysis, you can work on problem areas to make your site rank better on Search engines especially Google
2. Make Your Site Mobile Friendly,
With a good percentage of the world's population owning mobile devices these days, it makes sense to make sure that your site is mobile friendly. Mobile users also expects good mobile experience when they visit site.
If your site is not mobile friendly, it may rank lower in searches from mobile phones. Google recently Google released a significant new mobile-friendly ranking algorithm that's designed to give a boost to mobile-friendly pages in Google's mobile search results, therefore you can't go wrong with this offer.
3. Make sure the page is fast
A site that takes a long time to load will rank lower on search engines. Google has indicated in the past that site and page speeds is one of the signals used by its algorithm to rank pages.
Page speed is also important to user experience, the slower your site/page speed the more likely you will have high bounce rate and lower average time on your site. Some of the great tools which can help you with your site speed is Google Pagespeed Insights and GTmetrix. This are tools that empowers you to make decisions that increase the performance of your website.
Step 5. Use Web Analytics Tools
Use analytics to measure the outcome of your efforts or to determine which areas of your site are doing well. Google Analytics offers free and enterprise analytics tools to measure website, app, digital and offline data to gain customer insights.
Example: Google Analytics enables you to track the visitors to your store, and generates reports that will help you with your marketing.
Under the "acquisition" in Google Analytics select "all traffic" -> "Channels" -> "organic search" so you can under the "keyword" to see which keywords drive the most traffic and the "source" which search engine. Using Google webmaster tools, you have access to them in Google Analytics under "acquisitions" -> "search engine optimization".
Step 6. Use Google AdWords
Business regardless of size, wants to be found on the first page of Google. Getting seen by customers at the exact time they are looking for your information, products, services, deals or location is intent marketing (marketing based on someone intending to find your products), and it's profitable.
Many businesses use Google AdWords to archive these by creating highly effective advertising campaigns to market their products and services, drive traffic to their website, and ultimately, increase sales.
I hope this article has given you an in-depth view of keyword optimization and you find one or more of the above tips useful.

Battle of the Barristers
Silk on Masterpiece Mystery!
Sunday at 9p.m. on PBS
The "silk" to which the title of this energetically paced—breathless would be more like it—legal drama refers concerns the attire worn by members of the Queen's Counsel. The struggle at the heart of this "Masterpiece Mystery!" series concerns the ferocious competition between two barristers hoping for appointment to the QC, whose members wear silk robes to court. But appointments to the silks, as they're known, are limited. And of the top barristers vying for the prize in this saga, only one can win.
There is, it's clear from the outset, no real contest. Not when one of the contenders is Martha Costello ( Maxine Peake )—beautiful, fearless, devoted to the highest of principles, a legal defender whose heart tells her that victims of society's inequities brought up on charges are for the most part blameless, if not actually innocent before the law. She's an entirely familiar character and not just in that regard—here's another female ace at the top of her game professionally, but, it should come as no surprise, one whose personal life is sadly in tatters. It should come as no surprise either that her competitor for the silk, the handsome and assured Clive Reader ( Rupert Penry-Jones ), a man with a touch of privilege about him, doesn't look like much of a contender against Martha—a character Ms. Peake brings to vivid life, and never more so than in the drama's riveting first episode.
The atmosphere is fevered, the plot thick with intrigue, back-biting, sex, the complicated machinations of the senior clerk of chambers, Billy Lamb ( Neil Stuke ). The pupils assigned to the barristers, interns of sorts, serve both as clerks and secret agents, none more effectively than the one who works for Martha, Nick Slade (a ravishing performance by Tom Hughes ). He's there to watch, wide-eyed, and to help as Martha, drowning in briefs and sleep deprived, races from courtroom to courtroom, from one client after another it falls to her to defend. The cases look to be unwinnable, but she's undeterred.
Among these is the case of a sinister-looking character charged with the brutal beating, during a burglary, of an 85-year-old man—a veteran who'd parachuted into Normandy on D-Day. One of the items the home invader took was his medal—awarded for bravery, the victim reveals. It gets worse. Tough cross-examination by Martha, meant to prove that the victim is driven by feelings of vengeance toward her client, ends up proving the opposite. She remains undeterred. Another courtroom scene finds Martha defending a young pregnant woman charged with trafficking. This client, a drug mule, has swallowed a large number of condoms full of cocaine. Taut courtroom scenes flow, one upon the other, in the first two hours of "Silk"—among them a date-rape case of sorts in which Martha defends a man accused of forcing himself on his former girlfriend. He's a poised and attractive man, the kind women jurors are said to like; his alleged victim exudes nothing but pathos. Complications ensue.
The same can be said of the series itself, what with the second and third episodes ever more predictable, and, not least, with Martha's character gone flat under the weight of a preening righteousness. If bad scriptwriting were a prosecutable offense, Ms. Peake might have a case here. Still, episode one of "Silk" is smartly written and highly entertaining—a treat, in short, and at two hours a sumptuous one.
Monday at 9 p.m. on HBO
It's clear from the first that this documentary on sportscaster Marty Glickman (writer and director James L. Freedman, executive producer Martin Scorsese ) is no ordinary work of tribute. That the list of notables providing commentary—among them the greatest names in football and sportscasting—is large isn't unusual. What stands out is the extraordinarily intense feelings of love and regard that emerge in these commentaries about Mr. Glickman. There isn't much here of the memorializing or sentimentality, the decorousness, characteristic of tributes to the dead. (Mr. Glickman died in 2001 at age 83.) Instead, the comments reflect a vitality so buoyant, feelings so imbued with the color of the man, as to suggest that he might himself walk in any minute and take the microphone. Not many documentaries—not many, certainly, devoted to sports figures—can claim to bring their subjects to life so fully.
Not many sportscasters, of course, could claim anything like Mr. Glickman's life experience, the most famous installment of which ensured that his name would forever after be linked with the Berlin Olympics of 1936, when Mr. Glickman and Sam Stoller, runners, and the only Jewish members of the 400-meter relay team, were yanked just before the race. The yanking was done at the behest of the notoriously pro-Nazi chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Avery Brundage, and his assistant coach Dean Cromwell —Mr. Brundage wasn't about to offend Hitler, whom he revered, by allowing two Jews to run.
The details of this event, and Mr. Glickman's own reflections, provide high drama—Mr. Glickman was, as he says in an interview, eternally grateful to Jesse Owens for objecting to his expulsion from the race. But the drama of this 18-year-old athlete's career was only just beginning, as this chronicle of Mr. Glickman's life shows—a film splendid, among other reasons, for the America it captures along the way.
The Secret Life of Dogs
Sunday at 9 p.m. on Nat Geo Wild
In an entirely irresistible film, Nat Geo Wild purports to reveal the secret life of dogs—a life that's not so secret as anyone who has a dog knows. Everybody who has ever lived with one marvels at the strange and wonderful way the dog knows when you're about to take him or her out for a walk—and they also know that there is, in fact, nothing strange about it, just as this film says. Dogs watch you all the time, every movement—they're sleuths, alert to the slightest clue to a degree unmatched by humans. That said, "The Secret Life of Dogs" is filled with data, none of it classifiable as secret, about the bodies of dogs, reasons dogs drink water the way they do, and—most memorably—their extraordinary capacities to serve humans, examples of which, testified to here, will leave scarcely a watcher dry-eyed.

We read in this piece on Campus Reform that some Harvard students are demanding that the university divest ownership in energy stocks because the continuing production and use of fossil fuels threatens to kill millions if not billions of people. Evidently, those students do not understand how equity markets work. If Harvard sells, someone else buys the shares at the market price. The companies are not financially hurt by the trading of their stock and are not going to stop producing fuels that virtually everyone needs and wants. I wrote about this silliness recently on Minding the Campus.
The students could move out of their fossil-fuel-heated dorms and apartments and camp out in the winter weather of Cambridge. Doing that would have just as much impact on the environment as their divestment demands.

NFL Free Agency 2011: Jets Priorities Entering Day 3 of Free Agency ManiaJuly 28, 2011
On Day 2 of the shortened NFL free agency period, the New York Jets signed their No. 1 free agent, Santonio Holmes, to a five-year, $50 million deal with $24 million guaranteed.
This signing helped the Jets take a step that will help them try to achieve their goal of winning a Super Bowl in 2011, but there are many more steps that need to be taken, making this a very crucial free agency period for them.
The first priority on the Jets list is Nnamdi Asomugha. Several sources have confirmed that the Jets have contacted Asomugha about joining the team and playing alongside Darrelle Revis in green and white.
Not only has the Jets front office contacted Asomugha, but Jets players are trying to recruit him through social media. On Tuesday, linebacker Bart Scott wrote on Twitter:
"Come on to the light Nnamdi it's safe in the light thank god for the Internet cause I had no shot O yea the light"
Asomugha would be a great addition to an already solid New York Jets defense. Having him and Revis together would shut down opposing aerial attacks, while the defensive line and linebackers stop the running game.
Asomugha would be an expensive acquisition, but he would be worth every penny as he could put the Jets defense back at the No. 1 spot. Signing Asomugha has become even more likely as the Jets' new captain Mark Sanchez said he would be willing to re-work his contract to bring in some more players, and it is possible that Revis will re-work his contract; for these players it is all about winning a championship.
Next would be to try and get another good wide receiver to New York. Some of the players the Jets could go after are Randy Moss, Braylon Edwards and Mike Sims-Walker. The most likely player that will play in 2011 with the Jets is Braylon Edwards.
During the lockout, Edwards said he would consider taking a contract for a lower amount if it means some other high-profile free agents can join the team. If he stays true to his word, Edwards may return to New York.
If Edwards does not bite at the Jets' offer, they will look to Moss who is still considered a deep threat and can help even out the Jets offense, keeping defenses on their toes, which will allow them to do whatever they want on offense.
In order to keep their strong linebacker core, another top priority is coming to an agreement with inside linebacker Davis Harris who the Jets applied the franchise tag to prior to the start of the lockout.
Harris is a critical piece of the defense and not getting him back will hurt the Jets greatly. While getting Harris is important, the reason he is not as high as getting a receiver or Asomugha is because they will affect how long he will be a Jet and how much they can give him especially since the Jets are looking to make him a Jet for life.
Something the Jets still have to do before training camp starts is sign their draft picks. The most important of that group is their first-round pick Muhammad Wilkerson who will be a vital part of the Jets defensive line this season. Over the last few years, the defensive line has lost players due to age and injuries, forcing them to use the draft to fortify their defensive line.
Day 3 could be an eventful day for everyone surrounding the Jets organization as there are many questions that could be answered in a matter of hours.
Right now, the Jets' free agency momentum is in their favor as they have players willing to re-work their contracts to bring in others so they can try for a second Super Bowl title, and they have the always entertaining Rex Ryan who many players love playing for.

The months of March and April are the time for Studies. When we sit to study, all of us have just one issue…We cannot focus on studies and instead we think of people, of situations and of things that are unnecessary. Why? Let us understand the reply to this question in this issue. On o n e h a n d , we want to concentrate on studies, but we are unable. While on the other hand, it is hard to forget internet, TV, friends, shopping, games, etc. We also cannot forget situations wherein someone has quarreled with us or insulted us or praised us. Our memory power is scattered,while the memory power of great persons like Swami Vivekanad & Niruma is strong.When once they read a page from a book, they never have to read it again. So, how can we gain memory power like them? Attachment and abhorrence (Raag-Dwesh) is the cause of Memory.Interest is the cause of Raag-Dwesh. And the only way to get rid of this interest and raag-dwesh is Pratikraman. Let us also understand the scientific working of Pratikraman via an experiment. Let us know the science of Memory power and enjoy this Palitana Jatra Special Issue.

14 years old, Sonoma County H.S. freshman. I was at my buddy Doug's house laying on his living room floor watching the game with about 8-10 other friends.
They won Superbowl XVI when I was a frosh and Superbowl XIX when I was a senior

This entire game will be rebroadcast by the NFL Network tomorrow night, January 10th, at 9:00pm Pacific time. Set your DVR's folks. For you youngsters, here's your chance to see some history. I saw this game again 2 or 3 years ago when the NFL network rebroadcast it. It's the original network footage from 1982. Started a thread as well to get the word out.

I was at home in Hawaii watching the game with my dad. It was the first 49er game I had ever watched. After "The Catch" happened my dad told me to watch this Montana guy because he was gonna be really good.Guess he knew what he was talking about. Been a fan ever since. Funny that my dad said that though cause he's a Raider fan.lol.

Candlestick Park, Section 29, Row 4, Seat 4. Best spectator sports memory of my life. We swarmed the field after the game and helped carry Ronnie Lott off the field on our shoulders.

I had been in SF less than a year--came after graduating from college--and I was a huge Dallas fan. I was devastated after that game--I walked around outside after the game and this city was electric---I have never seen it since quite like that---maybe after the Giants won the world series--or the first Super Bowl win. But I now I look fondly at that game because I have loved the Niners for almost 30 years ( all living in SF ) and I hate the Dallas Cowboys! )

Within the order Cladocera are found almost all varieties of osmotic regulation, which make it possible for them to live in waters of a wide range of salt concentrations. Many Cladocera are very powerful osmoregulators and are comparable to the teleosts and decapod crustaceans in their abilities. The variety of osmoregulatory capacities within the cladocerans are illustrated and discussed. The function of mitochondrion-rich ion transporting cells found in nuchal glands or on epipodites are diseussed and the physiological mechanisms involved in osmoregulation are compared with similar mechanisms in other crustaceans and in teleosts. Data is provided on osinotic regulation in eggs and embryos in open and elosed brood chambers. Other topics include the occurrence of physiological races in some species, recent changes in osmoregulatory abilities following man-induced changes in salinity, the effects of temperature on osmoregulation and the effects of pH.

New York
The U.S. patent landscape has undergone dramatic changes. The America Invents Act empowered petitioners by providing several options for challenging issued patents — inter partes review (IPR), covered business method review (CBM), and post-grant review (PGR). Both petitioners and patent owners need to know how and when a petition under the PGR can be enforced.
Hogan Lovells has a handle on all U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) proceedings. Our experience includes handling the first-ever instituted PGR proceeding. And we are one of a very few number of firms with experience in a Derivation proceeding under the new AIA rules.
Whether you're a petitioner or patent owner, our experience in patent litigation and patent prosecution can give you a significant advantage in developing strategies for post-grant proceedings.

Represent Mercedes-Benz in connection with multiple past and pending IRP review proceedings before the USPTO, including novel approaches to coordinating IPR strategy with reexamination strategy.
We were hired by a major electronic media company to file an IPR petition on its behalf after it was sued for patent infringement in U.S. district court.
For client DepoMed, we filed patent owner's responses to patentability in six IPRs, successfully defeating a number of them upon initial review.

CHICAGO Garret Anderson was a winner at the All-Star Home Run Derby, just like he was at the World Series. The Anaheim Angels' star edged the St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols 9-8 Monday night to win the title.
''I don't think of myself as a home-run hitter, but it was another platform to show America what I can do,'' Anderson said.
Tino Martinez, then with the New York Yankees, is the only other player from a defending World Series champion to win the derby, accomplishing the feat in 1997 at Cleveland's Jacobs Field.
Some of the drama was lacking this year.
Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa weren't among the eight players in the competition, which has become a highlight of the All-Star break.
And U.S. Cellular Field, which used to be known as Comiskey Park, is among the most boring ballparks in baseball, with no natural targets such as the warehouse at Baltimore's Camden Yards or the Green Monster at Boston's Fenway Park.
Still, the crowd of 47,819 rose to its feet as Pujols, batting last, came up with one strike left. He stepped out and lined a pitch off the left-field warning track.
Pujols started slowly, hitting just four homers in the first round, which tied for third with Jim Edmonds and Gary Sheffield, trailing defending champion Jason Giambi (12) and Anderson (seven). Pujols advanced over Sheffield because he has more regular-season homers, 27-22.
''That's a lot of swings. I was getting stiff between the rounds,'' Pujols said.
In the semifinals, Anderson beat Edmonds 6-4 and Pujols defeated Giambi 14-11, hitting the longest shot of the night a 478-foot drive. Pujols' total tied for the most in a derby round, a mark set by Giambi two years ago at Seattle.
After lining a ball into left field for his final out in the semifinals, Giambi walked over to Pujols, exchanged hand slaps, and the pair gave each other an extended hug.
Sheffield, Carlos Delgado (two), RIchie Sexson (one) and Bret Boone (none) also were eliminated in the first round, with Boone becoming the first player not to hit any since Anaheim's Troy Glaus two years ago.

The Red Devils succumbed top spot last weekend to Chelsea after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to arch-rivals Liverpool.
Rather than the obvious pain of defeat, it will be the manner in which United tamely allowed an out-of form Liverpool - without inspirational skipper Steven Gerrard - to turn them over without so much as a fight that will have hurt Sir Alex Ferguson the most.
However the Scot will likely have consigned the defeat to the history books, instead preferring to concentrate on the visit of Sam Allardyce and Blackburn.
Rovers lie 16th in the table, two points off the relegation places and arrive at Old Trafford on the back of a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea.
On paper the result of this encounter should be a no brainer. However, United have struggled against teams in the lower echelons of the table at home this season.
A narrow 2-1 win over Bolton two weeks ago reminded fans of the nerves they uncomfortably felt on the opening day, when only a brilliant late Ben Foster save from Christian Benitez ensured United beat newly promoted Birmingham 1-0.
Accompanied by the below-par showing in the 2-2 draw with Sunderland at home at the start of the month and you can understand why Ferguson has voiced displeasure at his side's inconsistent performances this term.
Rovers have seen their season rocked by swine flu, with rumours that Allardyce himself may have the virus surfacing this week.
The former Bolton and Newcastle boss will be hoping David Dunn, arguably Rovers' best player this season, has recovered from the illness in time to be involved at the weekend.
Red Devils newsUnited have major doubts at centre-half with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic both struggling with calf injuries while Ryan Giggs (knee) could also miss out although Ferguson remains optimistic.
The champions may opt to field Jonny Evans and Wes Brown at the heart of the defence after both helped keep a clean sheet against Barnsley in the Carling Cup in midweek.
Park Ji-Sung is expected to be sidelined with a swollen knee for a few more weeks while Darren Fletcher (groin) is out again.
Gary Neville will definitely miss out after picking up a straight red card at Oakwell while Danny Welbeck, who opened the scoring against Barnsley, is absent with a knee injury.
Summer signing Gabriel Obertan made his long awaited debut against the Tykes after a frustrating spell out with a spine problem and he could start again.
Michael Owen gave United fresh impetus when he came off the bench against Liverpool last week and he could start instead of Dimitar Berbatov.
Owen Hargreaves has upped his training but is still not expected back until next week.
Rovers newsRovers defender Christopher Samba is still struggling with swine flu but Dunn appears to have shaken off the virus after appearing as a 70th minute substitute in the 5-2 Carling Cup win over Peterborough on Tuesday.
However Jason Roberts is the latest Rovers player to show signs that he has picked up the illness after being sent home from training on Friday
Pascal Chimbonda (calf) and Vince Grella (thigh) look likely to join Roberts on the sidelines so Michel Salgado should continue at right-back.
On loan striker Franco Di Santo was ineligible to play against parent club Chelsea last week but he should come straight back in up front after being given the night off against Posh.
Possible starting XIs:
Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Evans, Brown, Evra, Nani, Anderson, Carrick, Valencia, Owen, Rooney.
Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Nelsen, Givet, Olsson, Emerton, N'Zonzi, Andrews, Pedersen, Dunn, Di Santo.

Originally posted on The Sports Headquarters | Last updated 3/25/13
As another off season of College Football material kicks off, this year marks the third year I'll throw my hat in the ring and look at a number of topics and categories. In the process I'll look to do everything from predicting next year's 25 best teams, identify the games of the year, narrow down the Heisman field, identify those replacing 2012′s stars and ultimately make predictions for each league, culminating in a national championship pick. They'll be many things I'll be ridiculed for. There will be a number of things that will surprise some people. Ultimately you'll come away from the next 6 months of material as ready for the college football season as I can possibly make you. While I'll be sure to miss on things I would like to remind the skeptics I did correctly predict the same number of bowl teams preseason as Phil Steele a year ago as well as top him in BCS Bowl participants predicted before the year. Nonetheless I'm not putting out any magazines soon so keep buying his for the top preseason coverage available. The key in any top 25 poll is understanding the premise on which the poll is based because not all top 25 polls are built the same way. Some people choose to rank teams 1-25 based on where they think teams will be ranked at year's end. If they think a team will lose 5 games they won't rank them. While that may seem logical I've never been a proponent of that style of poll and it has never been, nor will ever be, how I choose to do my top 25 polls. My polls reflect the 25 teams entering 2013 who I think are the top 25 teams on a neutral field if the country played a round-robin. If a team is likely to max out at 7 wins that doesn't give me the urge to rank a nine-win team over them if the nine-win team is from a much weaker league. With that covered, let us continue the top 25 for 2013 as the official kickoff of the off season coverage here at The Sports Headquarters. *Returning Starters Figures from Phil Steele's Blog Teams already ranked: #25. Fresno State Bulldogs #24 Vanderbilt Commodores #23 USC Trojans #22 Miami Hurricanes #21 Ole Miss Rebels #20 Boise State Broncos #19 Wisconsin Badgers #18 Oklahoma Sooners #17 Florida State Seminoles #16 Northwestern Wildcats #15 Oklahoma State Cowboys Coming in at #14… Louisville Cardinals 2012 Record: 11-2 Conference Finish: 1st in Big East Bowl: Won Sugar Bowl 33-23 over Florida 2013 Returning Starters: 6 offense, 9 defense 2013 Offense A team who may be a trendy top 10 pick this season in a number of polls, the Sugar Bowl performance won't overly influence my ranking for the Cardinals this season. Louisville for the majority of the 2012 season was a team worthy of 15-20 ranking and while it may not be music to the ears of the Cardinals fanbase, reality is there's not much in the Big East next year that will show how good they are. Teddy Bridgewater was a well documented name in college football circles before he torched the Florida Gators but his 266 yards and 2 TD performance opened a lot more eyes in a game that frankly wasn't as close as the final indicated. His return gives the Cardinals one of the nation's top QBs in the country and while we could spend another 1000 words describing his importance to the team, time would be better suited showing what about this offense makes them stout coming into 2013 beyond the arm of their junior stud signal caller. The biggest area in need of improvement is a rushing attack that finished 100th nationally a year ago. Senorise Perry is set to come back from an ACL injury he suffered in a loss at Syracuse and was the Cardinals' best back before the injury. With over 700 yards and 11 scores in 10 games, the potential for a 1000 yard season is there if he becomes the workhorse for Charlie Strong. Jeremy Wright wound up representing the team's leading runner last year but his absence from the university has put his status for next season in doubt. Behind Perry is Corvin Lamb and Brandon Radcliff, a three-star recruit from the 2011 class that redshirted a year ago. On the outside at wide receiver is where Louisville will bring back a loaded corps. Devante Parker returns as an all-conference performer a season ago along with Damian Copeland who led the team in catches a season ago complimenting him. In all five of the team's top seven pass catchers are back and will give Bridgewater a ton to work with in 2013. The offensive line returns just two starters, an alarming development for a team who gave up a ton of sacks last season. Things can begin to unravel for the Cardinals with their protection and those struggles were just one of many reasons many assumed the Florida defense would have its way with Louisville in the Sugar Bowl. The Cardinals were dominant in the red zone last season with a 93% scoring rate including 65% of red zone drives finishing in touchdowns. With numbers like that it's not a surprise they won the Big East and will be a massive favorite to do so again. 2013 Defense The Cardinals weren't a dominant defensive unit last season but were strong enough to finish in the top 25 nationally and as the rest of the narrative goes played some of its best football in the Sugar Bowl. The good news for Louisville is nearly everyone is back. Nine starters are back with experience at all three levels and if the secondary improves as one would hope with another offseason and spring drills it has the potential to be one of the five-ten best in the country. The entire front four is back from the weak link of the Louisville defense. The Cardinals generated very little pressure on the quarterback last season ranking very low nationally in the sack department. On top of that the red zone defense was poor giving up 28 TDs in 42 opponent drives inside the 20. Preston Brown is back for his senior season after an all-conference 2012 season where he led the team with 109 tackles and will anchor a linebacker unit that had no other player record 60 tackles last season. Brown will be the voice of the middle of the defense and one thing the Cardinals certainly would like to improve on heading into 2013 from the back seven is third down defense. Louisville did not do a good job in 2012 of getting off the field and while the league may not make that an issue, if the Cardinals have bigger goals down the road that could be an important determinant. Keep in mind Louisville used three and outs to really put Florida behind the eight ball in the Sugar Bowl. The secondary as mentioned before could be the dominant unit for this team. Calvin Pryor and Hakeem Smith give the team two all-conference performers at safety and in all three starters are back from the back four that ranked 16th nationally in defending the pass. Both safeties were among the team's top tacklers as well. Adrian Bushell is the only corner with significant impact gone from last year's team. Louisville was among the top pass defended teams in college football last year and yet didn't pick off a lot of passes, a sign of tight coverage that doesn't bank on errant throws to stop the opposition's passing attack. Perhaps one stat that is worrisome for Louisville coming off last year, this courtesy of Matt Smith at College Football News is no team had a higher recovery rate on fumbles than the Cardinals. While some of that can be accredited to their own play making, it's a stat that requires some luck and perhaps they aren't as fortunate in 2013. Schedule What's there to say that hasn't been said by those who put out preseason rankings earlier than I do? Louisville's 2013 schedule lacks much meat and it will be hard for me at the very least to judge this team until the bowl season. While it is possible Rutgers or Cincy could prove to be a very good team and make that assessment easier earlier in the year, the guess is Louisville will get top 10/top 15 love and we'll need a bowl game to see if that is an accurate projection. The non-conference schedule provides basically nothing in the way of a challenge. Maybe at Kentucky provides a semi-challenge if Mark Stoops can provide an immediate impact but the guess here is that won't happen. Thus the best place to look for a challenge comes in league play. Rutgers and new league member Central Florida pop up in mid-October and could give Louisville a run for its money. After that the season finale at Cincy would look like the one other area of concern. Nonetheless a loss to Uconn last season was never expected (with Teddy Bridgewater's injury playing a big part) and usually some team every year that isn't projected to do anything surprises so nothing is guaranteed. Nonetheless if Louisville is the quality of team most think they are, they should again win the Big East with probably 10-11 wins.
