You Can Now Officially Tell Google When You Change Domains!
Posted 10 June 2009 - 04:23 PM
This should make things go a lot smoother and more quickly when you have to change your website's domain to something else.
You have to have both domains registered with Google's Webmaster Tools and that's where you will get the change of address feature.
Posted 11 June 2009 - 04:09 AM
Of course I'm very happy they finally did.
Thanks for the update Jill!
Posted 11 June 2009 - 12:38 PM
I hope Microsoft, Ask, and Yahoo! implement something similar.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 04:53 AM
Well to have them registered and verified in GWMT you have to still OWN the domain and have either the HTML file or a file with the META code hosted on the domain... and if you still own it and verify it, then surely you can just do a 301 redirect.
So what does this facility do that a 301 redirect doesn't?
Posted 12 June 2009 - 09:14 AM
There are too many sites out there these days that get hacked. Seriously, there are. Little old me has been called in to help clean up such messes no less than 10 times in the last 2 months, and I don't advertise or perform this service for hire. It's just people finding me by word of mouth and me being nice enough to help out friends and friends of friends.
The hackers these days are fairly easy to discover if you know what to look for because what they do when they hack a site is typically include some encoded javascript to attempt to deliver a virus payload with a keystroke logger to get the FTP info and email address logons of more PC users visiting the site. It's all pretty stealthy unless you know what to look for, at least until the stopbadware notices start showing up in Google.
My worry is what happens if the hackers change their plan of attack, and instead of actively hacking a site they start verifying these sites in GWMT and use this new method to point the authority of these domains to another domain that they either own or are being paid to help improve.
If they set up a 301 redirect it would be immediately evident to even a novice. Even more evident than the than their stealthy js payloads. But the GWMT "solution" would be completely transparent to most. They wouldn't even know to look for it. And I don't see any mention of any sort of appeals process to get one's own domain back. Or the mention of verification requiring something more than before, say an email confirmation process that includes the requirement that the email address actually be tied to the domain.
I don't see this new process as being nearly as safe as they make it sound. In fact it opens a new hole for people to worry about that wasn't there before. And something that is going to hurt you for at least six months instead of just a few days if you have the bad luck to have it happen to you. And the only way to combat it is something you need to do before any trouble finds you, meaning you really need to register and verify all of your domains via GWMT before anything bad happens.
Is this maybe the goal? To get more people to sign their sites up for GWMT?

Some way to challenge the validity of the GWMT verification that would get rid of the 180 day minimum cap. That would still be worse than it is now, and since 301's do the same thing makes all of this sort of questionable to begin with. But at least if there were an appeal process one could complete in a timely fashion (days, not weeks or months) it wouldn't be quite as bad as things now stand.
Frankly though, I doubt we'll hear much hubbub about this possibility. Most are simply going to think they've been penalized by Google, or not have enough knowledge to know to look for that GWMT verification file or meta info.
On the flip side, I guess it does open up a whole new business service one could charge for if they knew what to look for and how to fix it. Assuming there is some way to fix it. Which there isn't right now.

This could turn into serious mess and as you say people will be scratching their heads wonder how the hell someone elses site is appearing when clicking on their own SERPs listing.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 03:12 PM
In my (perhaps rather outlandish, but quite possible) example the original site would no longer rank for its phrases. However since all of it authority and links were being stealthily transferred to a different, unknown to them domain it's entirely possible the other domain would start ranking for at least some of the original sites phrases.
To the original site it would simply look like they'd been penalized. First they would lose their rankings. Then their site would disappear from the index altogether. Bam! It's gotta be a penalty and nobody without FTP access would be able to diagnose the real problem if the hacker used one of those specially named uploaded files for verification.
FTR the only reason I thought of it is my recent past experience with hacked domains. That and the fact that I spend most of my day, every day, trying to think like the other guy. In this case I'm just thinking of how I'd make hay with this new capability if I were a hacker.
Thank your lucky stars I'm not.

Thank your lucky stars I'm not.
Why do they do what they do, if you're that clever go and do something usefull and legal, hey make yourself a millionaire, not write a virus which could have you looking at 20+ years in jail not to mention the hasle and upset you cause with your stupid little viruses.
If they want to impress people, try writing something that will revolutionise the world, everyone will want to buy and helps them become the next Bill Gates, that'll impress me!
Yup i'm sure many people are glad you've not sucome to the 'Dark Side'
Posted 15 June 2009 - 04:34 AM
Excluding the Webmaster Tools thing...
Is there a quick check one could do on the site to see if where hacked?
If so, where do you look for dodgy code, the index page or are all pages prone to attack?
I´m sure it would be helpful to many forum members.
Posted 15 June 2009 - 08:16 AM
If you already use this method for validating domain via GWMT, look for a file that doesn't match your special google number.
The other is to check every single page which makes up your website and see if file exists that you didn't create or if any of your pages have the google META tag with the special code in which isn't yours if you use it.
For large sites this could be a nightmare, I guess if you know server side code, you could write a script to read the source of everyfile in your website and look for dodgy google.html files or META tags

There are other ways to do it, but it's not something most people are going to have the ability to do. For one site that stayed pretty static (or in this case the pages that build the static looking pages themselves stay static) I set up a little cron job that shoots me off an email if/when the modified date on certain files gets changes.
Or you could have a packet monitor set up on your PC, such as Wireshark, to see where your surfing is actually attempting to retrieve stuff from. Or if your anti-virus is really, really good and gives you alerts or saves stuff in a log file you can review you'd see it there too. Assuming of course it recognized the virus was a virus.
Another way to do it, if you have them available to you, would be to review the FTP Logs once per week or so to see if any IP numbers you don't recognize have FTP'd into the site.
The thing to look for in the code itself is typically a little Javascript routine that is encoded. Being encoded means you're not going to be able to tell what it does when you glance at it because it's going to look like goobly gook until you unencode it. Thankfully the hackers are pretty lazy, so once you find one instance of the encoded js in one file you can search your other web site files for the a snippet of the same encoded text.
In short, there's not a single, easy way to find these things. But with the way it's being used now to deliver a virus payload using Chrome will give you a several days advance notice that somethings up before the site's rankings actually start to get hurt. Chrome seems to get those updates immediately, whereas they don't show up in the SERPs for several days.

Kepler-10b, it must be admitted, has certain disadvantages. Located in the Draco constellation, some 560 light years from our solar system, with a surface temperature hot enough to melt steel, it is hardly hospitable. But the small planet is notable as the first to be identified by the Kepler space telescope, its existence confirmed earlier this month. Launched by Nasa in 2009 as a junior partner to the more famous and more expensive Hubble telescope, this space observatory's job is to find Earth-like rocky planets in the so-called Goldilocks zone: neither too hot nor too cold for life to exist. As of this week, Kepler has identified nine planets, and today its scientists will set out their latest findings. Research into other types of planets – giants made of ice or gas, and short-lived rocky planets – is now well advanced. The Kepler mission aims to find ones much more like the Earth in size and conditions. That does not mean life exists on them, or that it would be possible to visit. "Nasa is not contemplating a manned mission to any stars, because it would take so long – even the closest star, at four light-years distance, would take thousands of years to reach at any speeds we can attain now," the mission explains. But scientists say they believe they will find planets between freezing and boiling point, capable of supporting an atmosphere. Life may only exist on Earth, as a chance in a billion, but even the knowledge that it might be possible on other planets would change the way we look up at the heavens.

This is my first post. I was taking over 200mg daily of Percs and started 8mg Suboxone treatment. It's been 1 year and I tried tapering Subs by reducing by 2mg per week. It didn't go well, so my doc put me back up to 8mg.
To complicate matters, I hurt my back 3 days ago and was prescribed Vicodin. I know that 3 days is not enough for the Sub to have washed out of my system and am worried about getting sick if I take Vicodin too soon. SO, my question is, if I go into withdrawal after taking Vicodine, to totally avoid withdrawal can I just go right back to Suboxone, or take more Vicodin? Or is there any other way to completely avoid withdrawals caused by going back to Vicodin after being on 8mg of Sub for 1 year.

To the editor:
There were complaints about a growing police force surrounding the Wakarusa music festival. I even heard the police presence referenced as "a police state." I shrugged off the comments and just figured people were overreacting. Thanks to the stealth, "necessary" work of our enforcement agencies, I am beginning to agree with them. Here are my questions about what happened at Wakarusa:
1. Did the police ever intend on buying the $250,000 surveillance equipment, or were they just exploiting a free demonstration?
2. Is bluegrass, folk, the new jazz? Read your history books to avoid repetitive mistakes.
3. Are we all so wealthy in Lawrence that we can just turn away any extra revenue?
I hope the festival returns next year. They have so much to offer in the way of music and acceptance. I wish the agencies could see that through their night vision and infrared goggles.

The spec discussing null does not change what null is or what a string is. Why do the specs mention that? Who knows. They might mention this case because this can happen in Java and they wanted to address that. The spec mentions that domstring maps to Java string, so they did consider Java.

A family has paid a glowing tribute to a devoted dad and stalwart of the Wakefield Express.
Former sales director Ray Dale passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on August 4.
Mr Dale, of The Grove, Normanton, rose through the ranks from an advertising representative in 1954 to sales boss of the Yorkshire Weekly Newspaper Group (YWNG) before retiring in 1986.
His daughter, Judith Walker, speaking on behalf of the family, said: "He was amazing to be honest. If anybody ever needed anything he was there. We were blessed to have a giant of a man as a dad, grandpa and grandad."
"Everybody has said what a lovely, kind, caring and wonderful gentleman he was. He had an amazing sense of humour and he kept that right until the end."
Former YWNG editorial director and colleague Richard Taylor also wished to pay tribute, adding: "I'll remember Ray fondly as a man who won arguments with an engaging charm and a huge smile. He was deeply loyal to YWNG which he served for many years in a variety of posts. At the same time he was loyal to the staff who worked under him which meant they held him in great affection."
Mrs Walker said while work was very important to her father, he was a committed family man no matter how busy he was. He was married to Enid (nee Appleyard) for nearly 60 years.
She said: "They were soul mates and childhood sweethearts. He was a choirboy at Normanton Parish Church and spotted mum in the congregation. He thought he was going to marry her and years later they did after meeting up again at the Dodsworth Youth Club in Normanton."
The couple were just two weeks short of their diamond wedding anniversary in 2012 when Mrs Dale passed away. Mrs Walker praised Mr Dale as a devoted dad to her and sister Gill. He also doted on his three grandchildren.
Away from work and family, he was a life-long and dedicated member of Normanton Parish Church, a life member of Normanton Amateur Operatic Society, now Five Towns Musical Theatre Society, and worked behind the scenes at the Wakefield Festival and Wakefield Theatre Club. Part of his duties included helping organise the Miss Wakefield beauty pageant. He also judged the Wakefield heat of the Miss GB contest in 1974.
Mr Dale is survived by his daughters Judith Walker and Gill Murray, grandchildren Oliver Walker, Laura and Daniel Murray. His funeral takes place at Normanton Parish Church on High Street at 11.45am on Wednesday, August 20. A reception will follow at the church.

Earlier versions of this article misstated the regiment of Lt. Col. Robert Balcavage, a commander working with tribal leaders in the Iraqi province of Babil. He belongs to the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division. This version has been corrected.
Sheiks as 'Security Contractors' for U.S.
In Iraq, a Perilous Alliance With Former Enemies
Saturday, August 4, 2007
FORWARD OPERATING BASE ISKAN, Iraq -- Inside a brightly lit room, the walls adorned with memorials to 23 dead American soldiers, Lt. Col. Robert Balcavage stared at the three Sunni tribal leaders he wanted to recruit.
Their fighters had battled U.S. troops. Balcavage suspected they might have attacked some of his own men. The trio accused another sheik of having links to the Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq. That sheik, four days earlier, had promised the U.S. military to fight al-Qaeda in Iraq and protect a strategic road.
"Who do you trust? Who do you not trust?" said Balcavage, commander of the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division, his voice dipping out of earshot.
An hour later, he signed up some of America's newest allies.
U.S. commanders are offering large sums to enlist, at breakneck pace, their former enemies, handing them broad security powers in a risky effort to tame this fractious area south of Baghdad in Babil province and, literally, buy time for national reconciliation.
American generals insist they are not creating militias. In contracts with the U.S. military, the sheiks are referred to as "security contractors." Each of their "guards" will receive 70 percent of an Iraqi policeman's salary. U.S. commanders call them "concerned citizens," evoking suburban neighborhood watch groups.
But interviews with ground commanders and tribal leaders offer a window into how the United States is financing a new constellation of mostly Sunni armed groups with murky allegiances and shady pasts.
The two-week-old initiative, inspired by similar efforts underway in Baghdad, Anbar and Diyala provinces, has more than halved attacks here against American troops, from 19 a day to seven, U.S. commanders said. But in a land of sectarian fault lines and shifting tribal loyalties, the strategy raises concerns about the long-term implications of empowering groups that steadfastly oppose the Shiite-led government.
Shiite leaders fear that the United States is financing highly trained and well-armed militias that could undermine the government after American troops withdraw. Shiites worry such groups could weaken central authority and challenge democratic institutions that many would like to see take root.
U.S. generals said they vet the backgrounds of every recruit, but ground commanders here said that is all but an impossible task.
"Officially, we will not deal with those who have American blood on their hands," said Balcavage, 42. "But how do you know? You don't. There's a degree of risk involved. A lot of it is gut instinct. That's what I'm going on. They didn't teach me how to do this at West Point."
'It's Like Rent-a-Cop'
In this fertile region, divided by the Euphrates River and torn by violence, U.S. soldiers are overstretched and Iraqi troops are in short supply. Isolated Sunni tribal lands have provided extremists with havens that are off-limits to U.S. patrols and Iraq's mostly Shiite security forces.

Brunswick County Board of Education Chairperson Shirley Babson did not want to sign her name to a generic resolution opposing Senate Bill 8, which would lift the cap on charter schools.
Instead, she went to Raleigh and expressed her concerns in person to members of the house and education committee on the floor of the General Assembly.
"I wanted them to know how the bill would affect my school system, how much money it was going to take, and my concerns of taking funds out of the current expense," Babson said.

NATO Candidates Armed Rogue States: Polish Company Sold Tanks to Iran
Gertz, Bill, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Several prospective members of NATO are involved in arms sales to countries identified by the United States as sponsors of terrorism, a classified CIA report says.
Poland, a leading candidate to join the alliance this spring, has made five shipments to Iran of T-72 tanks, equipment and trainers, with the latest delivery taking place last summer, according to the CIA report, labeled "top secret."
A company in the former Yugoslav republic of Slovenia, also a leading candidate for North Atlantic Treaty Organization membership, took part in a deal to supply M-60 tank transmissions and other tank parts to Iran, although part of the shipment was halted by the Slovenian government after U.S. government protests, the report said.
Bulgaria, being considered for eventual but not immediate membership in the alliance, sold much of the production equipment for a weapons factory to Sudan, and a Bulgarian firm, along with a Russian company based in Jordan, is suspected by the CIA of trying to ship MiG-29 aircraft batteries to Iraq, the report said.
Another Bulgarian company sold 15 metric tons of explosives to North Korea's military, the report said.
Bulgaria's new government announced Monday that it wants to join NATO, reversing an earlier pro-Moscow ambivalence about entering the alliance.
It is not clear whether the transfers outlined in the report are continuing or how they might affect the nations' prospects for joining NATO.
Several government officials noted that disclosure of the arms sales coincides with visits by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to European capitals for talks on expanding NATO.
"It's inexcusable for a potential NATO member to be sending militarily significant equipment to rogue regimes with interests that are antithetical to the United States'," said one official who declined to be named.
NATO expansion, however, could provide the means to make sure such arms sales are curbed, said the official, an expert on European affairs.
David Johnson, a National Security Council spokesman, would not comment directly on individual arms deals. "The U.S. is engaged in a broad-gauged effort to convince many nations to avoid providing states on our terrorism list with weapons and other products and services," he said.
Trading with terrorist states is contrary to U.S. policy. The annual State Department terrorism report said the policy calls for "bringing maximum pressure on states that sponsor and support terrorism by imposing economic, diplomatic and political sanctions and by urging other states to do likewise."
The alliance is expected to invite Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and possibly Slovenia to join the alliance after a meeting of representatives of the 16 nations this spring. Many other Central and Eastern European nations also are seeking membership in the alliance.
Russia continues to view NATO as an enemy and opposes expansion.
Poland, Slovenia and Bulgaria are not the primary suppliers of arms to terrorist nations. According to the CIA report, "China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Russia and Iran are the leading suppliers or brokers" of weapons to terrorist-supporting nations.
Ukraine, a member of the Pentagon's Partnership for Peace program and a prospective NATO member, concluded deals with Libya to sell short-range missiles and to service Libyan submarines and surface vessels.
Alexander Skibidnetzki, a top Ukrainian intelligence official, said recently in Kiev that two Ukrainian ministries had "working contacts" with Libyan government and industrial entities but that no contracts resulted. …

The Nikola Tesla Museum Belgrade Reviews
379 reviews
The man who created the 20th century Mar 28, 2010
The Nikola Tesla Museum is one of the best museums in the country. It tells a story of the life and inventions of Nikola Tesla who was born in Croatia by Serbian parents. He later went to study in Graz in Austria and then got a job in Budapest before moving to Paris to work for Edison's company. Later he immigrated to USA. Hence he never actually lived in present day Serbia - but he did manage to get his face on the 100 dinar note.
The museum is displaying several of the invention he made during his life. The models are used to demonstrate the functioning of the inventions. But the museum doesn't want their guest to try and use the different machines - hence you can only go on a guided tour where the guide will demonstrate how the different machines work.
Among the items at display is a copy of the very first induction engine which Tesla got one of his most important patents for its invention. There are a somewhat more modern version of the engine among the machines which will be turned on to give and impression of how it works. Next to this engine is Teslas version of the Columbus Egg. A machine which will use the principal from the induction engine creating a magnetic field to make a metallic egg stand up on the steep end. It looks pretty surprising when it actually works.
One of the most surprising machines are the Tesla Tube - which when turned on will make some sparks of lightning and you will actually be able to make light if you keep a light bulb close to it. For people with limited recent experience with physics this is quite a surprising feat that you can actually transmit power wirelessly. Tesla had a big idea of transmitting power across the globe by wireless transfer. Unfortunately his financial backer - a certain JP Morgan gave up on the idea when he realized he would not be able to charge people for the use of the electricity.
Another devise on display is the very first remote control using a specific radio frequency. This invention was so far ahead of its time that the people who saw it demonstrated in Central Park were sure it was a hoax and Tesla actually controlled his small boat by some sort of strings which you just could not see below the water. They were all very surprised when they did not manage to find any strings attached.
Unfortunately Tesla's amazing abilities as an inventor was not match by his skills as a business man. Hence Tesla died as a poor man not having made any significant profit of his 170 different patens - many of which very much helped form the 20th century as we know it.
One last thing you can see at the museum is a bit more morbid - it is the urn of Nikola Tesla which has been transferred to the museum after his dead.

text: I looked at ipnat utility, actually. It uses kvm library to print list of active MAP/Redirect filters and sessions, for -l option. It also uses kvm to access some info when run against kernel core (with -M option), but that shouldn't be interesting for you (it uses ioctls against 'live' kernel). Looks like it wouldn't be too hard to add two ioctls to get the lists, and make the kvm grovelling optional. ipfstat might be a bit more difficult (didn't look too close in it).

text: Yeah I agree with the majority - has to be OL @ 10 Warmack or Cooper. Keep seeing a lot of these "so called- ESPN / NFL Network experts" keep mocking a DL to the Titans and saying that is one of our biggest needs. It is a big need but OL is obviously much bigger. But as it is with the Titans, expect the unexpected. Just because OL makes the most sense, doesnt mean the FO will go that direction. I am going to try to temper my expectations this year and brace for disappointment, so IF they do go with a top Guard then I can be pleasantly surprised.

Hello Pagekit
A new modern CMS built with Symfony components
Two months ago we announced our own CMS: Pagekit! We want to thank everybody for the overwhelming feedback. Three days after the announcement we've already got more than 700 followers on Twitter and till today we've got more than 400 emails in our pagekit inbox. If you haven't heard about Pagekit yet, head over to our concept page. Pagekit is a modular and lightweight CMS built from the ground up with modern technologies like Symfony components and Doctrine. It will have a build-in marketplace to provide an awesome platform for theme and extension developers. Pagekit will be MIT licensed and hosted on GitHub.
How it all started
Creating a new CMS is a huge undertaking and we are really excited about it. It all started four years ago. We had just finished our ZOO 2.0 extension, which allows you to build applications for content management on the fly. We also started working on making our Warp theme framework cross-platform compatible. In this time we learned so much about content management and how CMSes work that we came up with the idea to start our own CMS. Besides Joomla and WordPress which we know inside out, we looked into Drupal, Typo3 and many more and we started quickly, evaluating all the new PHP frameworks like Symfony 2 and Laravel. We just found a picture of us on Google where we attended the Symfony Live conference 2011 in Paris :-) And here we are, three years later working on Pagekit. Finding the right name, several logo redesigns and hours of coding are behind us. Even our current administration theme is the third completely redesigned version. The public announcement back in November 2013 and putting our concept page online was a big relief for us. Finally, we could present what we had been working on :-)
Start developing for Pagekit
Are you curious about new technologies and opportunities? :-) We are now looking for developers and companies who want to join the Pagekit development. Pagekit will be a true open source project and open for everyone to contribute. Because it is MIT licensed you will have the freedom to do anything you want. No restrictions! You decide which license you want to use for your themes and extensions, whether it is MIT, GPL or any other. This gives you real freedom as a developer!
Pagekit will have a built-in marketplace from the start. This makes it super easy for anyone to publish and share themes and extensions instantly with the Pagekit community. This is great, if you don't have the time to set up a large website or shop. Get in touch with us whether you are single developer or a large theme or extension provider for Joomla, WordPress or Drupal. We will answer all your questions about Pagekit and the marketplace and help you get started.
When will Pagekit be ready?
We are working hard on the first ALPHA version to share it with the theme and extension developers. We hope to get it ready in February. The first public BETA release is planned early in the 2. quarter of 2014. With the first BETA version we will create a space where the community can share ideas. We are really looking forward to the first users taking Pagekit for a test drive. Exciting times :-)
In the meantime follow Pagekit on Twitter.

amir.hesariHello Pagekit :)
frank.aucoinI said this before in another blog post regarding Pagekit, but I will say it again here: I can't wait to give it a try! Thank you for keeping us up to date. :)
frank.aucoinBy the way, I am a huge fan of your work. A+
morgan.gustafssonGreat news! Love the fact that you have been working on this for a long time, yootheme quality as always.
zou.hongboBit worried. Theme design quality decline
saschaYou don't have to worry. We have a complete team working on themes only. In fact, we put more and more time in every theme each month.
walter.a.kirspel.iiiWill all the currently available yootheme themes, Zoo and Widgetkit be compatible with pagekit?
zou.hongboI guess warp 7 themes support pagekit
marcin.drogoszNICE! I want to just tell, it would be nice to have column for primary category or all categories (option?). On list of items in admin area. ZOO for example display only item Type column and category select/filter on right top. It would be nice to know category of items at first sight too.
Just like in joomla articles list.
felipe.zubietaExcellent! Please consider an option to import urls (e.g. from sh404) and improve banner performance (rotation).
yardstickservicesIs there going to be a native way to migrate from Joomla and/or Wordpress...or will that be the responsibility of a third-party developer to create an extension for PageKit that will do it?
bdthemesHello Pagekit :) but still waiting for warp 7 master theme :(
brian.pungerdoes this mean you are abandoning Joomla?
mustaqNo, we are not abandoning Joomla.
gary.chamberlainWill there be support to run it in Google AppEngine?
inetsoftwareVery nice work. We appreciate clean professional code, all of Yoo.
Have you considered testing PageKit with HHVM?
Being that PK appears to be light weight, and the some of the frameworks have already been tested with HHVM, it appears to me that this could be a big win for the project.
Hoping you add some type of form management solution out of the box. Most CMS solutions have control for content, but it appears everyone forgets that forms are critical in just about every situation.
nemanjai just gave it a try, it s totally empty, it will take a lot of effort to build a community for this! It all looks very nice and simple, for now but i don t think this can replace any of the major cms out there, joomla,wp, drupal.
Very nice work on the simple graphics, it s good for someone who wants to make a website from scratch and control every pixel.
Nice try but i think it will still take a lot of development for me personally to start using it.

Designing AftenWritten by Frode Helland
When drawing on a computer, you never really know how those Bézier curves turn out until you put them to the real test: on paper. This is why experience is so crucial to a type designer. With time, you develop an intuition for what works, even though you cannot see it while drawing. In this case, however, the end product was not intended for print — it was to be displayed on the very computer screen I was working on. The process of designing Aften was very much one of un-learning. Ingrained principles and intuition had to be abandoned in favor of what actually looked right.
Translating high resolution curves into low resolution pixels tend to introduce rounding errors. The smaller the font size, the more dramatic the errors. Sometimes they can be corrected with something called "hinting" — at other times the computer runs an automatic process and outputs what it think you envisioned. To have a say in the latter, the only variables left to work with are the letterforms.
The various rasterizing engines all have their strange little quirks. On the Mac, things tend to get blurry and overly dark at small sizes. Tiny differences in coordinates can produce wildly different pixel patterns. Its relaxed approach to the physical structure of the computer screen opposes Windows' gridfitting method, which itself can wreak havoc on just about anything.
My first step was to experiment with different spacing and weight variations. The relatively loose fit of Aften Screen is perhaps its biggest advantage over similar competitors. The various vertical measures were given ample distance from each other, and perfectly aligned across the whole family to minimize rounding errors. As heavier shapes tend to look optically smaller when the white area decreases, the bold is drawn wider and more open than the regular. This also helps narrow apertures stay open and clear. Looking under the hood of Aften, one will notice a lot of oddities. That oversized ring above the 'å', for example. Or how about the comma, or the diagonal of 'N'? Important features were simplified and exaggerated and subtle shape adjustments reduces blur in troublesome spots.
Whereas most grotesques are aimed for titling use, Aften clearly departs. Its angled Akzidenz Grotesk-like terminals becomes a method of opening apertures, the round shapes contrast Helvetica's surface-filling squares. Its vertical proportions and spacing are that of a text face and gentle flares sets a warm tone. It has fairly narrow capitals, and the small caps intended for contemporary typesetting are noticeably taller than the x-height.
While Aften started its life as a me-too grotesque in the wake of successful designs as National, Maple and Parry, it soon became clear to me that this alone was no valid reason to release a typeface. The epiphany came late. The first seed must've been when a client asked about using it online. I had the fonts hinted externally at first, but when I eventually wanted to use it on our own website it was all too clear that it needed something more.
I went to great lengths to paint my vision of Aften on screen. I wanted to apply the same high standards we do to our print typefaces, turning every stone to minimize loading times, constantly redrawing and rethinking solutions in order to create a clear and legible text face for effortless reading on various screens and devices. And if you still haven't guessed it: You're reading it right now.
Licensed solely for screen use, Aften is a modest marriage of the humanist and grotesque genre, a text font that just plain works. It is available for self-hosting through our webshop, and delivered with hand-hinted TrueType outlines.

Cesare Prandelli has again underlined that a decision on whether he remains as Italy boss or not will be made before the World Cup Finals.
Prandelli has less than a year left on his contract with the Italian Football Federation and he's expected to head into club management for 2014-15.
"When we go to Brazil everyone will be aware of my future," the former Parma and Fiorentina tactician told La Repubblica. "I'm meet with the Federation, where we will talk with calmness.
"The fans still want me in Azzurro? That's nice to know. I thank them as we have tried to bring the national side closer to the people."
The Azzurri have qualified for the South American event with two games to spare, giving Prandelli some extra time to experiment.
"I'll have an opportunity over the next few games to take a closer look at certain players who haven't played that much."
His plans are unlikely to feature Genoa playmaker Francesco Lodi though despite his impressive start to the campaign.
"Lodi has had some extraordinary seasons, but we have preferred to focus on Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti for the future."
Prandelli was also asked for his opinion on a rejuvenated Inter and the chances of Italian clubs in Europe this term.
"Inter can fight until the very end. They have quality, physical prowess and order.
"I think the Derby d'Italia against Juventus showed that both clubs are working well. In general, I'm seeing some good quality football – Italian sides are offering some good things. It will be an interesting championship.
"Europe? All of our sides have the ability to do something significant this season, also because they have signed players with quality and temperament."

Australian pricing for the new 2016 Hyundai Tucson has been announced today, ahead of a market launch scheduled for August 1.
Hyundai's new mid-sized SUV arrives to replace the small-to-medium ix35 that debuted in 2010 as a successor to the first-generation Tucson, making this something of a reboot.
Available initially in three trim grades, the all-new Tucson range will kick off with the newly introduced ActiveX model from $30,490 plus on-road costs.
Later in the year, Hyundai will boost entry-level appeal with the base-grade Active, priced from $27,990 plus on-road costs.
Depending on the model, the new Tucson will be offered with two petrol engines and one diesel, along with six-speed manual, six-speed auto and seven-speed dual-clutch auto transmissions.
Prices are up across the new range, ranging from $1000 for the entry-level petrol front-wheel-drive six-speed manual Active model, to $4500 for the top-shelf $45,490 diesel all-wheel-drive six-speed auto Highlander.
In Australia, the Tucson will be aimed directly at Mazda's CX-5 – far-and-away Australia's best-selling midsized SUV with 12,489 sales year-to-date – along with the Nissan X-Trail (9272) and the Toyota RAV4 (9160).
These key rivals all boast similar entry prices, with the CX-5 opening at $27,190, the X-Trail at an identical $27,990 and the RAV4 at $27,490.
Hyundai accounts for the Tucson's increased pricing with the promise of a "bigger, better equipped and more sophisticated" offering than the ix35 it replaces.
Bigger is right, with the new Tucson measuring 65mm longer and 30mm wider than the ix35, while riding on a 30mm longer wheelbase (length: 4475mm; width: 1850mm; height: 1645mm tall; wheelbase: 2670mm). Rear storage space also grows, with seats-up capacity growing from 465 to 513 litres. (Seats-down still to be confirmed.)
With this growth, the Tucson also steps up into the "Medium SUV" category according to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries' VFACTs data, vacating the ix35's spot in the small class.
Engine options for the new Tucson will include a trio of four-cylinder petrol units and one diesel, along with a six-speed manual transmission at the entry end and two automatic transmissions.
The 2.0 litre petrol engines include Hyundai's relatively new 2.0-litre GDi 'Nu' petrol engine, offering 121kW at 6200rpm and 203Nm at 4700rpm. It will be offered alongside the older 2.0-litre MPi version of the 'Nu' engine. Tucson-specific figures for the latter unit are still to be confirmed.
Six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions will be offered with the 2.0 GDi engine, with fuel consumption listed at 7.8L/100km and 7.9L/100km respectively. CO2 emissions are listed at 182g/km and 185g/km. Front-wheel-drive is the only option with this engine.
Hyundai's 1.6 litre T-GDi turbocharged engine will also feature in the petrol mix, offering 130kW at 5500rpm and 265Nm at 1500-4500rpm. This replaces the 136kW/240Nm 2.4-litre engine and six-speed auto offered with the outgoing ix35.
The smaller but torque-loaded turbo engine will be matched to an all-wheel-drive configuration and Hyundai's new seven-speed dual-clutch auto, with fuel consumption and CO2 emissions listed at 7.7L/100km and 178g/km respectively. This neatly betters the 9.8L/100km and 233g/km figures of its 2.4-litre predecessor.
Representing the diesel end of things is Hyundai's turbocharged 2.0-litre R-Series engine, offering 136kW at 4000rpm and 400Nm at 1750-2750rpm.
Matched to a six-speed auto and all-wheel-drive, the diesel engine is said to offer fuel use at 6.4L/100km in the Elite and 6.8L/100km with the kitted-out Highlander. CO2 emissions are listed at 169g/km and 178g/km.
Models with the 2.0-litre GDi engine are sourced from South Korea, while the 2.0 MPi, 1.6 T-GDi and 2.0 R-Series variants are all built in the the Czech Republic.
As with all other Hyundai models, the new Tucson has been put through the company's local tuning program for suspension and steering to better suit Australian roads and tastes.
Depending on the model, standout features with the 2016 Tucson include LED headlights, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Advanced Traction Cornering Control (AWD models), Trailer Stability Assist (Active, Elite and Highlander), and a hands-free powered tailgate (Highlander).
Apple's new CarPlay infotainment system will be featured from September, with Android Auto to join in early 2016. This makes Hyundai one of the first carmakers to offer the new connectivity systems in Australia.
Features to be confirmed closer to the Active model's launch early in the fourth quarter of 2015.
ActiveX (beyond Active variant):
Elite (beyond Active variant):
NOTE that, unlike the ActiveX, the Elite does not get leather-appointed seats (cloth instead), 18-inch alloys (17-inch instead), Apple Carplay or Android Auto, or the matte grey insert on the Tucson's side garnish.
Highlander (beyond Elite variant):
Tucson Active
2.0 MPi petrol 2WD – six-speed manual – $27,990 (up $1000)
2.0 MPi petrol 2WD – six-speed auto – $30,490 (up $1300)
Tucson ActiveX
2.0 GDi petrol 2WD – six-speed manual – $30,490 (up $500 over ix35 SE)

Liverpool FC cruised through to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable win over Championship outfit Bournemouth.
Brendan Rodgers selected a strong line-up for this game as he looked to avoid a repeat of the fourth-round exit last season from this competition, and his men lived up to the task on hand. Bournemouth did have some good moments in the first half and their two penalty appeals were turned down by the referee. But a moment of Brilliance from on loan Chelsea winger Victor Moses provided the away side the lead in the 27th minute of the match. Luis Suarez picked out Moses with a cross from the right and the 23-year-old's low shot at the near post was good enough to beat Lee Camp in goal.
Liverpool had to wait till the 60th minute to put the game to bed as Daniel Sturridge got on the score sheet. Luis Suarez was once again the man who made the difference and this time he set up the England international with a lovely through ball. While England manager Roy Hodgson, who was watching from the stands, would have been pleased by Sturridge's goal, Suarez's performance would have also provided a glimpse of what awaits his side in the World Cup.
Brendan Rodgers insisted that injuries and his respect for this tournament was reflected on the strong team he selected for this game.
"We are a very thin squad and we have a number of injuries.
"The tradition in the FA Cup for Liverpool is huge and we want to pay respect to the competition because we want to get to the final and win it if we can." – The Liverpool manager said.
Rodgers was also full of praise for Bournemouth and their young manager Eddie Howe, who displayed wonderful spirit and effort in this game.
"When you have a team that want to play football, they are the most courageous players on the field.
"It is easy to coach a team to sit back, not want the ball and defend and then just wait for a hump up the pitch.
"The courage that the Bournemouth players showed today was fantastic – they have got better, I have watched them as the season has gone on.
"It is coaches like Eddie Howe who will take the game forward in this country because they believe in a way of working and they have a philosophy.
"Bournemouth are a very good side and I give credit to them first of all. Eddie is similar to myself in terms of the philosophy of football.
"It is not easy when you're a young manager to stick your head out to get your teams to play and pass the ball but he certainly does that." – Rodgers added.

Curly hair is not easy! Many people think we wake up with bouncy, fluffy curls but they are so wrong! Kids sleep so wild and LS usually rises with a fro that resembles a bird's nest. Although it may seem intimidating, it's very easy to pull it all together so long as you have the right products. We teamed up with Just For Me to show you all how to pull off 6 easy holiday hairstyles. I used Just For Me, Hair Milk Curl Smoother and Just For Me, Hair Milk Oil Moisturizing Lotion for all hair styles shown. The Hair Milk Oil Moisturizer is perfect for hydrating and strengthening while the Hair Milk Curl Smoother defines and controls frizz with an added touch of Shea Butter.
Here are 6 of my favorite hairstyles accented with Scout's favorite hair accessories. Tell us how you plan on styling your child's hair this season!
Bow Tails
This is my favorite hairstyle! I think it makes every kid look so adorable that you want to pinch their cheeks. Divide the hair in half. Add your favorite Just For Me products and work throughout the hair. Pull each section into a effortless bun so they both sit at the top of the head but inline with the ears. Add a clip bow to each bun and you're all done!
High Ponytail
This is my go-to style especially when the hair needs to be washed. Brush the hair upward and gather into a high ponytail. Fluff out the curls (you can use a pick) and add your favorite bow headband. Finish with Just For Me Hair Milk Smoothing Edges Créme and you're instantly ready for a holiday party.
Princess Top Knot
Very similar to the high ponytail but only bring the hair halfway through the ponytail holder on the last pull. Add pins to keep the loose hairs tight. We added a sparkly crown to give a holiday princess effect.
Pressed for time? Go with an all natural style. Add a little JFM Hair Milk Oil Moisturizing Lotion to hydrate the curls then use a pick or your hands to separate the curls. Once you reach the desired look then push the headband onto the front of the head, removing the curls out of your child's face.
Princess Side Twist
I adore this style! The side twist instantly transform Scout's face. Part the hair down the middle and twist each side into a low ponytail bun. Pin the twist to hold and tighten them. This look is so chic and princess like plus its super simple to pull off.
Side Swept Curls
I did a tutorial on this a while back. This style is beyond easy and works perfectly with almost any outfit. I prepped the hair with Just For Me Hair Milk-Leave-In Detangler to keep the curls flexible throughout the day. Push half of the hair to one side but start at the middle of your hairline and add the first pin, continue to add the pins until you get the desired tightness. You may or may not use a brush but I personally don't like to brush out the curls with this style.

It is early afternoon in the drawing room of the hotel recently voted the second most luxurious in the United Kingdom, and two brothers are making themselves comfortable on a suitably expensive looking sofa.
Rockliffe Hall near Darlington is not just a hit with TripAdvisor reviewers; it has become a mecca for footballers and, at first glance, the honed siblings gazing out on the parkland rolling down towards the River Tees appear typical guests.
In reality, Scott and Martin Sinclair are extraordinary. The first brothers to represent Great Britain at an Olympics and Paralympics during the same year, they are repaying their parents for the ornaments and television sets they frequently smashed while playing indoor football as children.
The pair - whose younger sibling Jake is in Southampton's youth team - shared a similar passion for the game but, while Scott's striking talents would swiftly transport him to Chelsea and, eventually, Swansea, Martin was born with cerebral palsy. Today the resultant paraplegia restricts movement in his left arm and leg.
"I was diagnosed at birth but I didn't really know I had a disability until I broke my hip falling off a slide when I was 15 and my CP took over. I lost muscle tone and my leg went shorter," says Martin, a highly versatile member of GB's seven-a-side cerebral palsy Paralympic side. "It didn't help that I was misdiagnosed at first. I'd been playing mainstream football until then."
Given the events of the past decade - part of which he has spent in a wheelchair - it is a miracle Martin is playing any sort of sport, let alone Paralympic football. "The doctors said my hip was a pulled ligament," says the 26-year-old. "They never x-rayed me but the ball and socket had come right out and gone right up my backside. It put me out of action for eight years. I was in constant pain."
Considerable damage had been done by the time, two weeks after the fall, he was diagnosed properly. "I was supposed to have an operation on my hand but, when I went into hospital in a wheelchair, they decided to x-ray my hip. I eventually had a hip replacement at 21, so I was in and out of hospital for eight years and in a wheelchair for three and a-half."
Scott knows any glory he enjoys with Stuart Pearce's Team GB will fail to eclipse Martin's achievements. "I'm so proud of my brother, " says the 23-year-old. "He's amazing."
All along Martin retained hope of playing again. "Watching Scott and Jake kept me going," he says. "I never gave up on the dream. When I was in the wheelchair I had family around me who never looked at the negatives. Scott was great when times were hard. He kept visiting me in hospital. He's always been there."
The relationship is far from one sided. "Martin keeps me level headed, keeps my feet firmly on the floor," says Scott, whose partner is the Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan, aka Rosie Webster. "If I'm having a hard time, if I'm not scoring, he puts my situation in perspective.
"It must have been so hard for him when he was in the wheelchair and seeing me and my little brother playing. It kills you to think about what he went through. I don't think I'll ever really know how he coped mentally."
The pair are both immensely grateful to Ian Holloway. Now managing Blackpool, Holloway took Scott on loan to Plymouth at a time that coincided with a leap forward in Martin's rehabilitation. "Ian gave me a role coaching in the summer with football in the community, and then I found Plymouth had a disabled team," says Martin, whose footwear is raised by three inches on the affected side. "A year later I was spotted by an England scout."
Off the pitch, things were also looking up. Today he is married with a small daughter and has a full-time job in education, helping disabled people integrate into the wider community.
Clocking off time rarely prefaces relaxing at home. "I train about five times a week after work," he says. "That's probably more than Scott." If that was a joke - and the brothers revel in such banter - Martin is deadly serious about his bid for Paralympic gold.
"It's about changing perceptions of disabilities," he says. "I think people will be surprised at the standard. We can play." Even so, the challenge appears daunting. "We're ranked eighth. The Ukrainians, the Russians and Iranians are the top dogs because they're full-time, but anyone can beat anyone and hopefully we can do it."
More immediately there will be some brotherly advice to impart. "Martin's more critical of me than I am of him," says Scott. "He watches football all the time and reads the game very well. Technically he's very good. He knows what he's talking about, so he's always giving me pointers on what I can do better."
Maybe he is a typical big brother after all.

Business-hit Marans stand to lose big in TV empire
The politically powerful DMK family that till recently enjoyed power in Tamil Nadu and the Centre, is now finding the going tough – with even its business interests taking a hit.india Updated: Aug 30, 2014 11:07 IST
The politically powerful DMK family that till recently enjoyed power in Tamil Nadu and the Centre, is now finding the going tough – with even its business interests taking a hit.
Maran brothers' cable business company, Kal Cables – a multi-system operator – stands to lose big as the Central government's order of closure begins to kick in.
The Chennai Corporation has begun a crackdown against multi-system operators, including Kal Cables, for defaulting on rent from the cable operators, most of who subscribe to Maran's company, leading to TV blackouts in many areas in Chennai.
Read:Marans got Rs. 600cr bribe in Aircel deal, CBI to court
The AIADMK was quick to laud the developments. Former finance minister and senior AIADMK leader C Ponnain said, "The decision was late but the closure order has restored the moral and constitutional rights of all TV channels in Tamil Nadu. Instead of TRAI, Sun TV was deciding everything and it destroyed all other channels."
Chennai mayor Saidai Duraisami said that previous DMK government turned the other eye to help the Marans profit and pay no rent to the civic body.
Chennai has 44% of the total households in Tamil Nadu having a cable TV connection. Of this number, Kal Cable has more than half the share. It used to have the majority share till AIADMK came back to power in 2011 and the Jayalalithaa government revived government cable TV company, Arasu Cable TV Corporation.
Before 2011, when DMK was in power, the Sun group had virtual control of the entire Tamil Nadu television business, which now has fallen to less than half, TV industry sources said. On Friday, the Maran brothers were also named in the CBI charge sheet in the Aircel Maxis deal case as well.
DMK leaders were not reachable for comment till the time of writing the report.

The ASBMR Educational Resource Center
As one of its core missions, the ASBMR is constantly striving to provide its members with comprehensive educational materials. In order to better fulfill this goal, it recently launched an Education Resource Center web page (1).
This page is a single site that provides an extensive array of both basic and clinical educational materials that are relevant to members. As it develops, the site will become the repository for all ASBMR online educational content. This will include web videos and printed summaries of ASBMR-sponsored educational symposia, annual and topical meetings, webinars and webcasts. It will also have available additional educational material from the Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism along with selected articles from the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
In addition, ASBMR recently developed an on-line web course entitled "Improving the Identification and Management of Osteoporosis". This is also available at the Education Resource Center web page. The initiative provides a program with CME credit for primary care providers and other health care professionals to appropriately assess, diagnose, and treat patients with osteoporosis who are have already fractured and, therefore, are at risk to develop another fracture.
The Science Education Advisory Committee, of which I am honored to be the Chair, supervises the scientific content of the Educational Resource Center. Serving with me on this committee are Peter Ebeling from the University of Melbourne, Stavroula Kousteni from Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons, Philip Osdoby from Washington University in St Louis, Elizabeth Shane from Columbia University, College of Physicians & Surgeons and Rajesh Thakker from the University of Oxford. This committee is responsible for evaluating all educational materials on the site for accuracy and relevance.
Currently, the site contains a variety of video presentations that were given at various ASBMR annual meetings, as well as webinars and meetings that ASBMR has sponsored over the past few years. In addition, the entire program from the recent ASBMR-sponsored meeting "Cutting Edge Discoveries in Muscle Biology, Disease and Therapeutics" is available on the site.
We will be adding new content on a regular basis and sincerely welcome suggestions from the membership about what topics should be added to the site. Indeed, input from users (both positive and negative) about your impression of the site and how we can improve it are critical for us to maximize its utility to our members.

It is valuable to have all of these resources linked to a single educational resource site.
Since one of the components is journal articles, it could be useful to have a link to "In the Field"

This Cheese Stands Alone
In the most recent (Sept/Oct 2011) issue of Cook's Illustrated, they ranked grocery store mozzarella, and the winner was Sorrento whole milk mozzarella in the solid chunk form. "Clean", "creamy", "buttery", "smooth","mellow", "nice chew", and "practically like drinking milk" were some of the descriptions given for the cheese. The runner-ups were Kraft low moisture, part skim mozz and Boar's Head whole milk. Sorrento has been my pizza making mozzarella of choice for many years, so I was not surprised. I buy mine in the more economical 5 lb. brick. What say you on this selection? BTW, Sorrento is know by the name "Precious" on the west coast, and Sorrento is proudly producted in New York state (Buffalo).

Remembering Sun's Phil Rosenzweig
WTC bombing victim
An addendum to your story "Sun WTC staff are all alive", you might mention that Phil Rosenzweig, director of horizontal scaling in the Solaris software organization, was on board American flight 11.
He joined Sun in January 1991 - I was his CTO at that time - and managed a number of networking software groups.
He spent the last few years doing network-related research in SunLabs. He was a good friend and a great colleague.

FTC Could Put More Antitrust Scrunity On Drug Industry
The Federal Trade Commission could be preparing to further scrutinize citizen petitions as an anti competitive practice in the pharmaceutical industry. Citizen petitions had previously not gotten as much attention as reverse payments, product hopping, or other types of anti competitive behaviors. But in February of this year, the FTC sued Shire ViroPharma over alleged abuse of the citizen petition process. Shire ViroPharma is a unit of Shire plc. That was the first time that the FTC sued over a citizen petition, but it could mark a change in behavior that the pharmaceutical industry would be forced to evaluate.
The FTC alleges that Shire ViroPharma filed several baseless citizen petitions in order to delay a generic version of its Vancocin D drug from reaching the market. The FTC's lawsuit notes that the company filed "serial, repetitive, and unsupported filings" with the FDA. The FTC alleges that these citizen petitions costed consumers hundreds of millions of dollars by preventing them from having the generic option.
Michael A. Carrier, a Rutgers Law School professor and citizen petition researcher, said that the FTC has recognized the anti competitive behavior that citizen petitions could be inspiring and is moving to make it more difficult to file frivolous petitions. Shire ViroPharma had 46 filings, and the FTC believes that it has a strong case against the company.
Shire ViroPharma is expected to file a motion to dismiss, and the courts will have to decide whether to grant that motion as they consider the facts of the case. Companies such as Shire often retain regulatory law firms in order to fight antitrust charges.
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is the premier legal advisor to technology, life sciences, and other growth enterprises worldwide. In today's fast-growing, highly regulated generic pharmaceutical market, companies require specialized legal guidance beyond the scope of general corporate and securities counsel. WSGR has an experienced team of experts in key practice areas, including intellectual property, litigation, antitrust, FDA/regulatory, technology transactions, exports and FCPA, trade secret, and trademark and copyrights.

No. 4 Women of Troy Bury Beavers in Straight Sets
Follow, Like, and Insta with @USCWomensVolley
Nov. 10, 2013
Final Stats | Notes | Box Score (PDF)
LOS ANGELES - The fourth-ranked USC women's volleyball team (22-3, 12-2 Pac-12) made short work of Oregon State (9-16, 0-14) as the Women of Troy beat the Beavers in straight sets, 25-21, 25-11, 25-12, at Galen Center on Sunday, Nov. 10. It was the fourth straight victory for the Trojans and their 10th in a row over Oregon State. In fact, USC has now won 29 straight sets over the Beavers since 2008.
Oregon State dropped its 14th consecutive match, which ties for the second longest losing streak in program history and remained winless in conference matches, this season.
Senior middle blocker Alexis Olgard scored 11.0 points as she logged eight kills (0e, 14att) and hit .571 on the day. Olgard also had four blocks (two solo) and four digs. Freshman outside hitter Ebony Nwanebu led all players with 13.5 points and did her damage on the offensive end with 13 kills (1e, 23att) and a .522 hitting percentage.
USC also got eight kills from sophomore outside hitter Samantha Bricio (4e, 24att, .167) who also logged 11 digs and a pair of service aces to move into a sixth-place tie for single-season aces (63) in Pac-12 history with Stanford's Ashley Ivy (2002). Bricio also moved into an eighth-place tie for career aces at USC with Tracy Clark (1982-85). She now has 106 in her two seasons at Troy.
Senior outside hitter Sara Shaw had four kills and eight digs to go with two solo blocks while senior libero Natalie Hagglund led all players with 18 digs. Trojan setters Hayley Crone (24 assists, six digs, one ace) and Alice Pizzasegola (16 assists) helped USC to a .327 hitting percentage (44k, 10e) on 104 attempts. It is the 23rd time in 25 matches that the Trojans have posted a higher hitting rate than their opponent.
For Oregon State, Kelsey Zimmerman posted nine kills (3e, 33att, .182) while Arica Nassar earned seven kills (4e, 18att, .167) and led the Beavers with four blocks. Tayla Woods dished out 20 assists and had eight digs while Becky Defoe and Darby Reeder led OSU with 10 digs apiece.
Nassar got the Beaver offense going in the first set and spurred a 5-0 run that gave Oregon State a 5-2 lead. From there, the Trojans chipped away at the Beaver lead and caught up at eight-all when Bricio went crosscourt to terminate a rally. Eight all was just the second tie of a set that saw 13 ties as the teams traded barbs all the way through a 19-all knot. Each time, Oregon State would inch ahead, but USC took a lead at 15-14 when Olgard finished on a quick set and Bricio followed with another crosscourt kill. The Beavers went up, 17-16, on a kill from Lila Toner, but the Trojans broke the 19-all tie when junior middle blocker Hannah Schraer found the ground on a quick set from Crone. USC stayed the course and carried its momentum into a 25-21 win when Olgard topped things off with the final point of the first set. The Trojans hit .275 in the opening frame with 18 kills (4e) on 51 swings and the Beavers were .208 with 14 kills (33) on 53 attacks.
The second set was a different story as the Trojans blew up for a quick 8-2 lead on three straight kills; two from Olgard and one from Nwanebu. USC posted a scorching .409 hitting percentage and needed just 22 swings (3e, 22att) to get the job done on a 25-11 win. The Trojans put up four blocks and dug up just seven balls but still managed to hold the Beavers to a negative .111 hitting percentage (6k, 9e, 27att). A kill by freshman outside Elise Ruddins made the score 11-6 and set USC off on an 8-0 run that was topped off by a pair of blocks by Bricio and Schraer. Oregon State scored a couple more points but it was too little, too late, as USC put the set to bed on a quick-set kill by sophomore middle blocker Kiara Wright.
A pair of blocks kick-started the USC offense in the third set as Nwanebu scored on three of four rallies to get the Trojans up, 10-4, in short order. The Beavers showed some fight to get within four points at 12-8, but USC went on another extended scoring run topped off with a kill by sophomore middle blocker Alicia Ogoms to get in front by 12 points, 22-10. First, Bricio showed off her versatility with a pipe-set kill out of the back row before she went off-speed with a tip shot to make the score 15-8. Nwanebu bounced a shot down the line before Bricio served up to straight aces to get the Trojans in front, 20-10. Shaw's kill gave USC set point at 24-12 before Olgard and junior outside hitter Emily Young teamed up to block Zimmerman to score the final point of a 25-12 win. The Trojans collected 14 kills (3e, 31att) and hit .355 in the final set and held the Beavers below the line again with a negative .100 hitting rate (5k, 8e, 30att).
USC will head to the Pacific Northwest for a pivotal match with No. 3 Washington (20-1, 12-1 Pac-12) at 6 p.m. PT on Friday, Nov. 15, at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle. The match will be carried live regionally by the Pac-12 Networks with Krista Blunk and Kelli Tennant on the call. Please visit USCTrojans.com for more information and a complete schedule.

I have a question and a tip for this:
View attachment 143578 View attachment 143579 HAHA … I'm back from excile…. tic, tic, tic til I go back once again. Ohh well…It IS what it IS….
Me?… Can't buy a L ride (due to endless new recruitment) unless I force myself to try (… GH seem to work OK if you double dip). U rides are non stop but rarely surge and tips are minimal as of yet.
Strange thing though… L rides have been very KIND with tips lately. IDK, what have you all seen.
Disclosure: Tips were during…
?? L*FT vs. UB*R ?? Hmm… '17 mid year update…
The answer from people read on this link:
San Diego
We are not responsible for errors if they are written about Uber!
What is Uber?
They connects partner drivers and people who need transportation.Application downloading to your smartphone, register with your information, order transportation where you need to go through the GPS map and app will find the nearest available driver. In most of the five minutes your drivers will arrive by car and take you to your location, . Your credit card is connected to the app, when you order a ride, your ride will be charged, very simple.
Uber currently operates in 100 countries and in a lot of cities, over 500. You can be in a foreign country and to book a ride. Prices are cheaper than the standard taxi services and you will not have problems with cash in foreign currency because you pay by credit card.
What is the rate?
How much does it cost to drive from point A to B, check the official website https://www.uber.com/fare-estimate
As I said, the prices are cheaper than a taxi service.
At a time when the number of users exceeds the number of partners driver, the price may rise, it is called "surge pricing". So users at any time of the day or night can order a vehicle. In case of increase in prices will be promptly notified. Then you can order a regular taxi ride, my recommendation.
What class of vehicles can be ordered?
See here http://www.placesearch.us/classes
What is the quality of service?
Here is a great idea where users after their journey to the destination rate service of the driver who had served them. In this way the quality remains at a high level, those who will not satisfy the required services, will no longer work.
Can I cancel the ordered service?
If for some reason you want to do, you can. On your account may be charged a fee for a canceled driving, it depends on how much time has passed when the driver has accepted your request and when you you canceled. And drivers can cancel the request for a ride.
Cancellation fees may vary depending on your city and the chosen option for the vehicle. Many cities if you cancel service offering you the option not charged for 5 minutes but in other cities can charge cancellation fees after 2 minutes after the driver starts to your starting location.
Video How to Use
History how it began
In Paris, on a snowy evening in 2008 Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp could not get a taxi. So they thought of ingenious idea to call transport via mobile phone. Today the company is worth over 50 billion dollars. They spread in many countries, cities and small places which is new for Uber, outside the city service. You can order the service of air planes, food, ship, shipping, and helicopter. Who knows what else will invent!
Can I work for Uber?
Yes, everything you can find on their website. You do not even need to have your own car. Sign up, make money, have flexible working hours and many other benefits. Only in the USA they employ 250,000 workers. You can drive when and how you want, as if you are your own boss. But in many countries there are restrictions and laws that must be respected by Uber if want to operate there.
This article is for general information, maybe something has changed, so check elsewhere.
