EV World commenced publication officially on January 1, 1998.
Our objective -- then as now -- is to provide a human face to the topic of sustainable transportation with a focus on the people and policy, as well
as technology.
The site has continued to steadily grow in readership over the years with little promotion, other than word-of-mouth. We currently entertain more than 15-20,000 visitors daily from around the world who download from more than 20-30,000 pages of information every day.
EV World relies largely on the voluntary efforts of a small cadre of
dedicated electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts and professionals who
contribute material, information and moral support to the publication.
We are based in Omaha, Nebraska in the heartland of America where we are a
strictly an online publication, making us very lean and green. We currently do not
print a paper version of the publication, although we launched in 2011 a digital i-mag called Insider Illustrated for mobile devices.
With the launch in early 2013, the website is also now more mobile friendly.
EV World's publisher and editor in chief is J. William "Bill" Moore. Bill is a former minister who left the clergy to pursue a career in
journalism and marketing. He became involved in the Internet in 1993,launching his first website in September 1994. Three years later, he
started EV World, eventually winning a one-year grant from the Energy Foundation.
As of January 2004, EV World is largely a subscription-driven publication with
free news and article archives. The annual scription fee is $49.00US.
EV World also maintaines several 'sister' web sites, including ElectricCarProgress.com and our new 'bricks 'n mortar' commercial spin-off, ePEDALER.com, whose mission is to get more of us Americans off our car seats and onto electric-assist bicycle saddles for economic, environmental, community and personal health reasons. See our online brochure to learn more.

Amazon's Kindle Singles has just published a long, fascinating essay about the cultural meaning of Comic-Con by Douglas Wolk, author of the Eisner-winning book Reading Comics. If you're interested in a sympathetic but critical analysis of the Con that rules the world of genre writing, filmmaking, TV and art, this essay is a must-read. It's only $0.99 from Amazon, and 70% of proceeds go right to Wolk, so you're supporting a good writer with your purchase!
Here's the official synopsis from Amazon:
Douglas Wolk, a journalist and critic who writes on comic books, expresses it this way: "Comic-Con is a bacchanalian 100-hour orgy of fandom, and fandom is all about cathexis: investing one's energy and identity in a particular idea or person or thing." In this Kindle Single, Wolk explores both the culture of enthusiasts and the big business of extending a comic book into a novel, and then into a movie, and then into merchandise, and then into a massive branded franchise with an endless array of things for fans to buy.
Highly recommended!

It seems like there has been a lot of confusion about robots.txt recently and why URLs disallowed by robots.txt appear in Google search results.
The directives in robots.txt for disallowing URLs was originally intended to help site owners preserve bandwidth and prevent outages caused by robot traffic. Robots can consume lots of bandwidth and in the early years, it was not uncommon for Google to crash websites or make them inaccessible for users during a crawl cycle. By disallowing robots, site owners could limit bandwidth used by robots. Blocking robot traffic helped site owners to ensure that their website was available for humans.
At that time, even though many site owners did not want search engines using up bandwidth, they did not mind the traffic from search engines. Search engines on the other hand, wanted to return relevant results for URLs disallowed or not. Instead of returning no results for queries like [amazon.com] for example, if that site was disallowed by robots.txt, Google returned search results based on data collected from other websites. This is why disallowed URLs appear indexed in search results. Google can return uncrawled URL references for disallowed URLs by combining anchor text and description data extracted from other sites. As a result, uncrawled URL references for disallowed URLs may appear indexed in Google search results pages.
Disallowing a URL via robots.txt will not prevent it from appearing indexed in search results pages. In order to prevent URLs from appearing in search results pages, webmasters should implement rel=noindex meta and/or use password protection. In order to remove URLs disallowed by robots.txt but indexed in Google SERPS, webmasters should use the URL removal tool in Google Webmaster Tools.
Here are some other tips for success with robots.txt:
- Search engines do not check robots.txt for every page request. Many search engines update robots.txt data once every 24 hours. For that reason, disallowed URLs added between updates may be accidentally crawled and indexed. To ensure pages aren't crawled, be sure to add future URLs to your robots.txt file 24 to 36 hours in advance of adding actual content.
- URLs in robots.txt are case-sensitive. For that reason, blocking aboutus.html will not prevent ABOUTUS.html, Aboutus.html, AbOuTUs.html and/or AboutUs.html from being crawled.
- "When you add the +1 button to a page, Google assumes that you want that page to be publicly available and visible in Google Search results. As a result, we may fetch and show that page even if it is disallowed in robots.txt or includes a meta noindex tag." (http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1634172)
- Disallowing URLs that 301 redirect, will prevent search engines from "seeing" the redirect. As a result, engines may continue to index the incorrect URL.
- Disallowing URLs with pages containing noindex meta will prevent search engines from "seeing" the noindex meta tag and as a result noindex pages may appear indexed in Google search results.
- When 301 redirecting www or non-www versions of URLs to the preferred version, don't forget to redirect your robots.txt file as well.

ACTAGermany won't sign YET. I hope that despite this news, there will still be thousands of people on the streets against Acta tomorrow.
Hephaestus (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 7:43am
Re: ACTAI am very good at forecasting future occurrences and trends. It is one of the things I do for a living. The problem for the Germany government is, if they sign ACTA they will effectively double the number of people voting pirate party next time around. The same goes for every nation in Europe that has a pirate party.
TtfnJohn (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 11:01am
Re: Re: ACTAFor those of us on this side of the pond it's important to remember that the Federal German Republic elects it's representatives by a form of proportional representation. As Hephaestus says if Germany signs ACTA and it doubles the vote for the Pirate Party and increases support for the Greens, who already oppose ACTA the shift in parliamentary representation would be far larger than it would be in first past the post systems such as the United States, Canada or the UK.
If it's a doubling of support then the effect on the "old line" parties would be immense.
This may be one of the reasons the Germans are holding off.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 10:32am
Re: ACTAu bet ur butt
Over here we (activists) mainly see it as a way to discredit the demonstrations tomorrow without doing much harm to the actual implementation of the agreement. We hope also that it backfires (because it very well may).
LC (profile), 14 Feb 2012 @ 12:52am
Re:Out of curiosity, how EXACTLY does Germany saying they won't sign ACTA discredit the anti-ACTA movement?
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 6:18am
Germany is full of pirates!That's the only reason they wouldn't sign. Oh yea, and Google Paywall. And hurting US jobs.
(but seriously, if they stick by this, this is a HUGE win....for now)
ChurchHatesTucker (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 7:36am
Re: Germany is full of pirates!Considering the recent successes of the German Pirate Party, that does seem to be the case.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 6:30amGood, it's about time politicians start listening to the people instead of the big corporations like the RIAA/MPAA/etc that own all the copyrights.
Maybe politicians finally noticed there's a Pirate Party, but no Copyright or Patent or Intellectual Property party. Kind of says which sides their citizens are on, doesn't it.
btrussell (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 6:32amGermany already has an auto-ban. No need for more.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 6:57amIt's possible that it's just a move to dodge the upcoming demonstrations, but I doubt it's a wise move then. The German Foreign Office doesn't make it a habit to be like "sign that shit now...oh wait... DON'T sign that shit now!". Everyone who wasn't yet fully convinced that there is a problem with ACTA will take a closer look after they saw the European powerhouse waffling like this.
wvhillbilly (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 11:18am
Re:"sign that shit now...oh wait... DON'T sign that shit now!".
No they'll wait till they think nobody's watching, then they'll convene only those in favor of it and do it in secret.
Gotta watch these politicians, they're sneaky.
Ima Fish (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 7:00amSo basically Germany has decided to delay signing it until the protests have died down.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 7:10am
Re:More like, Germany wants to pass the buck to the EU parliament. What if they sign it and then the EU doesn't? It would be a folly to put up with all that political damage for nothing.
Re:I doubt that the protests will really stop. Both the Pirate Party and the Green Party are against this as well as young members among other parties. So it's not very likely that they will just sign it in silence a few weeks later.
Mr. Oizo, 10 Feb 2012 @ 7:21amWhat is said in the linked article is that the justice department wants to 'wait and see', which is a typical non-statement. So they probably want to sign but don't want to say that.
But it'�s a big differnce if you compare the different PPs. In Germany you'd double them to 16%, in the Uk to 2%...
TtfnJohn (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 11:41am
Re:I suspect the support difference in Germany and the UK has as much to do with the electoral systems in place in each nation.
The UK, well at least England, is a first past the post system which tends to "punish" new parties rather than reward them. The proportional system used in Germany allows for new and not yet in the mainstream parties such as the Pirate Party and the Greens to emerge and win seats.
At this point voting Pirate in the UK is a protest vote only, in Germany it means something.
(By the way I'm no defender of proportional representation particularly in large countries such as Canada until some of the kinks get worked out such as how do we fire a rep who isn't performing as we'd like him/her to. Virtually impossible under most forms of PR.)
isaac Kotlicky (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 10:39am
Speechless...I'm left without a humorous, possibly snarky comment to make...
*slow claps* Go team!
Even if this is just "passing the buck" to the EU, everyone faltering on it because they're afraid of public backlash will push ACTA to die.
Wandering alone.
A vagrant with no citizenship, no land to claim as his own.
Pity him, feel his pain, his uncertainty.
Poor, destitute, and downtrodden, he'll wander the blighted, war-stricken landscape, searching for news of his family.
But his parents SOPA and PIPA have already died in the war, and he hasn't heard from his brother TPP for months.
There. Found my sarc.

Waiting for the summerWith all the protests going on and in planning, the German government might have decided to wait for the European Fussbal championships or the Olympic games to sign ACTA. It will be less noticed then.
Seriously, the German minister for Justice, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, argues that the EU should explain why ACTA is needed. Current German law would already be enough to comply with ACTA.
Ruud Coenen, 10 Feb 2012 @ 11:52am

Wizz, 10 Feb 2012 @ 12:11pmIt is a good news.
Why? Because for a couple of days, it would've seem like the eastern europe countries might be trying to leverage other stuff with this desaprobation. Because of EU's structure, it gets difficult if a couple of countries desagree.
This treaty was pushed hard by France and other "wealthy" members, but it consequently opened a small crack: other european countries could use their signature to negociate.
Except that now that Germany is letting it in the air for a small bit:
1/ It begins to be newsworthy for more classics newspapers
2/ It legitimates the pull from eastern countries.
So even if its a very delicate pull, it's suffisient to implie better perspectives on the subject.
kamereon (profile), 10 Feb 2012 @ 3:00pm
Signing ACTAFrom what I read, it seems that German minister for Justice, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, is the one that would be signing ACTA for Germany.
She's made herself quite a name for actually strengthening consumer rights, pissing off the big lobbyists every now and then.
This ACTA signing business may become quite interesting... :-)
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 3:19pmIt might still be a tactical move, but the justice minister, Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, is from the junior partner of the coalition government, and known as an outspoken civil rights advocate (many years ago, she resigned from the same position over a law authorising large scale police wire taps, which she couldn't support).
That said, the German government is of the opinion that the national parliament needs to ratify it too. The conservative party supports ACTA, and Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger's party does largely too. So if the two partners come to an agreement internally, the national parliament will ratify ACTA. Ultimately, the European Parliament will be expected to vote on it too, by the summer, though, there are still some opportunities for campaigns.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 3:29pmSchnarrenberger is a member of the German liberal party and one of the few remaining members who isn't just liberal in name only.
Her track record suggests that her concerns are genuine, not just voiced to appease protestors and voters.
Still, she's just one minister, and it's very likely - pretty much a given - that the majority of the rest is in favor, so don't relax just yet.
Anonymous Coward, 10 Feb 2012 @ 3:52pmGlad to hear it, i just hope their not doing this to minimize the upcoming protests, then ramp up the ACTA support once the protest's have calmed down, hopefully not

Primera Liga round-up: Vital victories for Valencia and Celta Vigo
Valencia boosted their top-four hopes, while all three relegation places will be decided on the final day of the season.
Last Updated: 26/05/13 10:13pm
Elsewhere, champions Barcelona moved a step closer to claiming a club-record 100 points this season after beating derby rivals Espanyol 2-0 at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat.
Barca, who look set to seal the signing of Brazil superstar Neymar on Monday, were put on course for a 31st league win of the season through Alexis Sanchez's 14th-minute opener.
Espanyol's hopes of getting anything out of the match then suffered a blow when they lost Mubarak Wakaso to a red card in the 80th minute, and six minutes later Barca sealed the victory through substitute Pedro Rodriguez.
Tito Vilanova's men now need to beat Malaga in next weekend's final round of fixtures to become only the second side after Real Madrid to reach 100 points in a single season.
With the top three spots in La Liga already decided, the two-horse race for the fourth and final Champions League spot will garner much of the attention on the last weekend.
Valencia currently hold the upper hand after their 1-0 win over Granada, secured through Roberto Soldado's 60th-minute strike, saw them move two points clear of Real Sociedad, who drew 3-3 at home with second-placed Real Madrid.
Sociedad dominated almost from start to finish but had to battle back from 2-0 and 3-2 down just to get a point.
Madrid, who were without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, went ahead through goals from Gonzalo Higuain (six minutes) and Jose Maria Callejon (57) but Sociedad deservedly drew level with strikes from Xabi Prieto (64, pen) and Antoine Griezmann (78).
Visitors Madrid soon resorted their lead through Sami Khedira but Sociedad battled back again and Prieto's second just before the final whistle earned them a point which could yet prove vital.
The relegation battle will also go to the wire with four clubs - Real Mallorca, Real Zaragoza, Celta Vigo and Deportivo La Coruna - fighting to avoid finishing in the bottom three.
Mallorca claimed a creditable 0-0 draw at third-placed Atletico Madrid while Celta were 2-0 winners at Real Valladolid, goals in either half from Gustavo Cabral and Iago Aspas earning the Galicians the points.
Heavy defeat
Both Zaragoza and Depor crashed to defeat, losing away to Europa League hopefuls Real Betis and Malaga, respectively.
Seventh-placed Betis won 4-0, with Ruben Castro opening the scoring inside 15 seconds and Dorlan Pabon (17, 71) and Jorge Molina (50) adding to the scoreline, while sixth-placed Malaga defeated Depor 3-1.
Javier Saviola (45), Julio Baptista (64) and Isco (80) struck for the Andalusian side with Depor's consolation coming from Diogo Salomao 15 minutes from time.
Those results mean that Osasuna are guaranteed another season of top-flight football after they secured a 2-1 comeback win over Sevilla.
Alvaro Negredo put Sevilla ahead just after half-time but Patxi Punal drew Osasuna level around the hour-mark and then substitute Alvaro Cejudo curled home a free-kick with 12 minutes remaining to earn the hosts all three points.
San Mames misery
Athletic Bilbao suffered disappointment in their final league game at their famous San Mames stadium as they went down to a last-gasp goal to Levante.
Juanlu struck the winner in stoppage time after Athletic had lost striker Iker Muniain to a 62nd-minute sending off.
In Sunday's other game, Diego Castro's late own goal saw eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano win 2-1 at local rivals Getafe.
Alejandro Dominguez cancelled out Rafa Lopez's opener before Castro put through his own net to earn Rayo the spoils.

The "Inspirational Autism Stories" program was designed to honor
someone with autism from the San Diego community. Selected honorees
stand as an inspiration to others with autism, to parents with a newly
diagnosed child, as well as to people without the disorder. Individuals
selected for this honor participate in a live interview or fill out a
questionnaire that asks questions such as:
Alex Koeppel was diagnosed with autism at an early age. Alex has excelled in his academics, is learning to drive, and continues to master musical pieces and cover songs. He was chosen ACE's person of the month because of his enthusiastic spirit. His drive to learn new things and ability to acquire skills quickly has led him to become an exceptional pianist. He can be found on YouTube under PianoMagnet3. Here are a few responses on how autism helped shape Alex Koeppel to be the person he is today.
These responses were provided directly by Alex, now a 23 year old with autism.
I am most proud of getting a high school diploma with a 3.24 GPA.
Yes. I am a good typist. I can type about 70 words a minute. I'm also a great piano player, and enjoy playing a variety of music, including Ragtime, classical, Billy Joel, Beatles, Vince Guaraldi jazz pieces and movie themes. I've posted over 100 hits on YouTube. And the last special skill I can think of is being a hard worker at the Bonita-Sunnyside Branch Library. My duties there include book-shelving, shelf-reading, which basically is putting books at the edges of the shelves in the right order, based on the dewey decimal system, and checking in books from the book drops and shipment boxes. I am also an excellent bowler, with many 200 games to my credit. At the age of 3 I was sight reading two and three syllable words, and at 9 years old I learned to type with proper fingering in only about three weeks.
I've gotten help from a lot of really great people in school and at work. I believe that having autism has allowed me to concentrate on things to such a fine degree, that has allowed me to get very good in things that interest me... and not just the piano.
I have learned to deal with hard things in life, such as getting a job, making more money than I did in volunteer work, and making new friends.
Watching sports; my favorite teams are the San Diego Padres, San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills, and the Buffalo Sabres NHL hockey team. Also, playing and listening to music, and working hard at the Bonita Library. I also enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune, playing Scrabble, and video games.
"Autism is a natural thing. We can make a difference in life by finding a cure."
Getting a real paying job and a driver's license so I can really enjoy my independence with both. I have been on a job search for about a year, and I'm hoping I'll get hired soon. I've also been taking driving lessons from my mom for over a year. I've been studying the rules of the road, which will help me gain a lot of confidence in being behind the wheel independently once I receive a driver's license.

Loon Mountain Resort is possibly New Hampshire's most popular ski area.
For good reason.
This place has stupendous runs, some of the best terrain parks in New England, two great bars, mostly modern lifts — including New Hampshire's only gondola — and excellent snowmaking and grooming.
Loon also boosts a beautiful setting at the edge of the White Mountains National Forest and the renowned Kancamagus Highway, with a view of the snowy crest of Mount Washington. Importantly, it has an engaged owner, Michigan's Boyne Resorts, which also operates Sugarloaf and Sunday River in Maine (quite nicely, I should add).
And the Lincoln, N.H., resort is just off the Granite State's ski superhighway, I-93, making it a super-attractive and pretty easy-to-get-to weekend and holiday destination for the Boston area set.
That popularity, of course, carries its own set of problems. But more about that later.
I hit Loon last Sunday with family and friends on one of the coldest, windiest days of the winter so far.
When we got there at about 8 a.m., it was a couple of degrees below zero with a nice, vigorous breeze and brilliant sunny skies.
The snow was crisp, fast and yet grippy, groomed to a fine corduroy in most places — perfect for ski racing, which is what my son and my friends' daughter were there for.
Things warmed up a bit later, to about 11 degrees, though the wind kept up its vicious swirl.
In addition to the race, Loon was running one of its many terrain park events, with teenage skiers throwing inverted aerials and sliding rails to loud musical accompaniment in the park all day after a mogul competition on Saturday.
The crowds, as opposed to a usual weekend, were tolerable, even thin. Only the gondola had an appreciable line, with its prospect of shelter from the elements a welcome lure.
That is Loon's curse. The masses of families, day trippers and second home and ski-in, ski-out condo owners who descend on this wonderful resort often make it — especially on weekends, of course — New Hampshire's busiest ski area.
Try Loon on a weekday. Take a day off and experience one of the most enchanting ski areas within a feasible day trip's distance from the Worcester area. About a two hour and 45 minute drive.
The mountain life, and the thrill of snow sports, has perennially attracted small town kids, including those from Central Massachusetts, to the outer reaches of New England in pursuit of excellence in their disciplines.
Austin Manley-O'Brien, a Shrewsbury native and sophomore snowboard phenom at the prestigious Carrabasset Valley Academy in Kingfield, Maine, is one of them.
CVA students, like their counterparts at snow sports academies throughout northern New England, train on snow mornings in alpine and Nordic skiing and snowboarding and then attend school in the afternoon. The great majority of U.S. Ski and Olympic Team members come from the academies.
Manley-O'Brien, 16, competes in the gnarly, bone-crushing boarder cross event, an Olympic sport that pits the fastest, toughest snowboarders against each other in four- and six-person heats on steep, snaking, big jump-studded courses.
This is a dangerous sport, inspired by motocross racing. Versions of "cross" also are thriving in the ski and snowmobile worlds.
Manley-O'Brien is one of the best teenagers in the world at his sport.
He is the winner of a major boarder cross race at his current base of Sugarloaf and snowboard races at Shrewsbury's Ski Ward, his original home hill, earlier this winter; he also finished third in another January cross event at Sugarloaf
Now, with his r�sum� and International Ski Federation-sanctioned cross races on his horizon, Manley-O'Brien is considered a likely pick for the U.S. boarder cross team that will compete in Turkey starting Feb. 28 in the FIS World Junior Championships in Erzurum, Turkey.
"I love boarder cross," the tall, rangy athlete said in a recent interview from Sugarloaf.
Manley-O'Brien lives with his father, Howard O'Brien, off campus near CVA (which also produced U.S. ski racing immortal Bode Miller). His mother, Lisa Manley, still lives in Shrewsbury.
The teenager left Shrewsbury High School for CVA two years ago.
He grew up riding at tiny, but feisty Ski Ward, where he easily won slalom and giant slalom races over the holidays while visiting his hometown.
"That's where it all begins," he said, quoting Ward's well-known marketing slogan (which happens to be fairly accurate, given the number of excellent skiers and riders who have launched their careers at the 80-year-old ski hill).
Even though he had body armor, Manley-O'Brien sustained spine and neck injuries training the day before an elite Nor-Am tour race at Copper Mountain, Colo., in early January.
But as a favorite in big boarder cross races coming up Feb. 2 and 3 at Smuggler's Notch, Vt., the young Central Massachusetts product likely won't be stopped.
Friday-Saturday — Wachusett Mountain, Princeton, Riding On Insulin camp for youth and teenage skiers and snowboarders with type 1 diabetes.
Saturday — Nashoba Valley, Westford, 18th annual CSC Jimmy Fund Snow Challenge to benefit pediatric and adult cancer care and research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Saturday — Ski Ward, Shrewsbury, USASA Massachusetts Series Rail Jam.
Sunday — Nashoba Valley, USASA Massachusetts Series Slopestyle.
Feb. 9 — Ski Ward, Eastern Boarder and Boston Ski and Tennis Winter Rail Jam Series.
Feb. 9 — Nashoba Valley, Freeride Series.
Feb. 10 — Crotched Mountain, Bennington, N.H., USASA Slopestyle.
Feb. 13 — Wachusett, Muscular Dystrophy Association Firefighters Muster ski race.

I asked my favorite popular bloggers for quick and uncommon tips for building website traffic. They really came through with some priceless wisdom and tips, including my favorites by David Heinemeier Hansson, partner at 37signals and James Chartrand of Men With Pens.
When you're done, I would love to hear a quick and uncommon tip for building web traffic from you, in the comments!
- "Give your very best content away."
Josh Hanagarne, World's Strongest Librarian
- "Find people wherever they hang out and bring them back home. If your audience likes to use YouTube then create videos, if they are businesses then check out LinkedIn, and if they are mostly consumers then put effort into engaging them in Facebook and attract them to your blog from there."
Chris Garrett, Chris Garrett on New Media
- "Make your content unmissable. Think 'How could I make all of my content be viewed as something that can't be missed?' That may mean writing when you can't not write. It might mean killing a lot of mediocre ideas. But it's mostly about deliberately choosing to only publish content that makes people hungry for more."
Jonathan Mead, Paid to Exist
- "After you hit publish on your next blog post, head on over to Google blogsearch and find other people who have wrote about the same thing. If it is fairly popular, there will be quite a few blogs which have covered the same subject recently, so go to their posts and join in the conversation by leaving a comment. Anyone who clicks on your comment from that site will find very relevant content, as if it is an 'extension' of the site they were just reading, and they'll probably stick around for quite a while."
Glen Allsopp, ViperChill
"One of the often overlooked ways to build traffic online is by leveraging offline strategies & tactics. By that I mean things like:
* Attending conferences for networking opportunities
* Speaking or presenting at relevant events
* Handing out business cards with your website URL
…and any activity which positions you as an expert in your field offline. National press exposure (or even local press) usually results in huge spikes of traffic and it's one of our main strategies for the Location Independent network this year. It's often overlooked because people naturally focus on the online world – which, let's face it, is actually relatively small, incestuous and often we're all talking to the same people! Expanding your outreach to focus on spreading the word and your message to audiences who aren't already online is a great way to build high traffic quickly."
Lea Woodward, Location Independent
- "Considering that April is just around the corner, here is an uncommon tip to generate traffic: leverage April Fools' Day. That is right, if you pull a crazy enough prank on your blog it might go viral, and the traffic will be huge. Last year I invented a service that would let Internet users download the whole Internet to their hard drives….!"
Daniel Scocco, Daily Blog Tips
- "The best thing that has worked for me is to avoid incestuous blogging. Most blogs live in a small circle of influence; they write about other blogs in the circle and other blogs in the circle write about them. To really increase traffic beyond the same group of readers, you have to establish multiple spheres of influence within a variety of industries. This is contrary to the old idea of 'do one thing well.'"
Chris Guillebeau, The Art of Non-Conformity
- "Visualize it. Imagine. Chant. Pray. Believe. FEEL what it will feel like to hit your traffic goal. Do whatever woo-woo thing you're inclined to do that is about the energetics of what you're aiming to achieve. It's amazing how many practical ideas — and synchronicities — will happen when you get get away from your to-do list and into an affirmative mindset."
Danielle LaPorte, White Hot Truth
- "Video is all of the rage these days, not only with people, but with search engines too. If you'd like to drive both direct and search engine traffic to your website, I'd recommend using video as part of your traffic generation arsenal. If you have a blog post, or a certain page on your website that you'd like to drive traffic to, create a short video that compliments the written content on your site. Upload it to YouTube, and make sure the name of the video and all of the tags are related to the keywords of the specific page on your blog, and be sure to insert the URL into the description of the video as well. Embed the video on your webpage, and make sure all backend meta, video description data all contain the keywords as well. Your blog post or webpage will now climb the ranks of the search engines, and you'll also have direct/search traffic coming from the YouTube site of things as well. Additionally, you may end up on the first page of the SERPs for the video results related to those keywords as well."
Pat Flynn, The Smart Passive Income Blog
- "Focus on one topic, write great content, interview great people who are also in your niche = overnight success!"
Everett Bogue, Far Beyond the Stars
"My approach is simply to try to provide as much value as I can. I don't view blogging as a job—I'll go weeks without posting sometimes—I only do it when it's something I find interesting or useful, and when I do post I'll often spend 5 hours researching and crafting a good post. That doesn't work for everyone, but it's my approach.
Another thing that is integral to your success is to build relationships with other, established bloggers who inspire you. From there, you can start to guest post on the most popular blogs related to your niche—frequently the biggest source of new traffic—and enlist others' help on your projects."
Cody McKibben, Thrilling Heroics
- "I purposely don't read the big names. I've never read Penelope Trunk, or Seth Godin, or anyone else who's considered an A-list blogger, and I do that on purpose. I don't want to be influenced by what they're saying–consciously or unconsciously–and want to avoid recycling the same information over and over again. By not following their conversations, I'm better able to produce my own original content, which I think is one of the biggest reasons why I've gained so much traction in so little time. Original, bold, and exactly what I think. Blogging favors strong opinions; not wishy-washy, maybe this or maybe that."
Ashley Ambirge, The Middle Finger Project
- "Be everywhere, all at once. It's a strategy used to launch new Hollywood stars or models or movies, in fact. When something or someone gets plastered all over the media, people pay attention. Their brains think, 'This person has to be pretty important to be all over like this.' Then they think, What's this all about, anyways? I don't want to be the guy who doesn't know what's going on.' They'll want to learn more to stay informed – and it doesn't take long before they do that, either. Instant traffic!"
James Chartrand, Men With Pens
- "Reply to every comment from day one. When someone comes by your blog and takes the time to leave a comment – it demands recognition. Think about it – there are millions of blogs out there – we're inundated with information – so for someone to come to yours and take the time to respond, whether they agree or disagree – that means something. Make an effort to respond to every single comment that comes through, and when you respond to each comment, work to continue the conversation – follow up with another question. It may fall flat, they may never come back and read your response – but in order for a blog to be successful, the conversation needs to go beyond the post itself. Budget time in your blogging schedule to make every effort to encourage an ongoing dialogue – give people a reason to come back again and again."
Matt Cheuvront, Life Without Pants
- "Don't always focus on your own niche to find readers. Chances are whatever you blog about, there are people who enjoy that topic too, even if they don't blog about it. For example, I write about travel. I connect with a lot of travel bloggers but they aren't the only people who enjoy reading about travel. The entire planet does. To expand my readership, I have guest blogged on finance websites talking about how to save money when you travel and blogged on life style design sites about living independently. Just don't focus on your own niche! Branch out and get people who might not have ever come across your website!"
Matt Kepnes, Nomadic Matt's Travel Site
- "The easiest way to build traffic is to make your posts go viral. You know, having other people broadcast them because… well, that's the secret of creating a viral blog post 😉 And it's a really simple secret, by the way: people retweet, post to facebook, digg, stumble or reddit a blog post, because it makes them look good. Try to write your blog posts from the perspective of a guy who would want to retweet them: how does broadcasting that blog post will make me look? If the answer is 'good' you have a just created a viral blog post."
Dragos Roua, Brilliantly Better
- "Be undeniably interesting for years."
David Heinemeier Hansson, Creator of Ruby on Rails and Partner at 37signals

Yes, the following registrations are not eligible for a five-year registration:
Yes. Generally, the determining factor for a five-year registration is where the vehicle is registered and not where it is purchased. However, a vehicle that is used for commuting into an area where an emissions test is required must be emissions tested no matter where it is registered.
The vehicle would no longer be eligible for a five-year registration if it does not meet any of the criteria listed in question above. The vehicle owner would now be subject to emissions testing requirements and will have to register the vehicle in their new area.
Yes, except when recertification is required on an annual basis. Vehicle owners claiming the following exemptions are not eligible for a five-year registration option:

A team of 12 runners from Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) representing different backgrounds and medical professions across the Hudson Valley will compete in the TCS New York City Marathon on November 5. Team members will raise money in support of the patients they care for at WMCHealth's 10 Hudson Valley hospitals. Here is a closer look at the runners who will "Go the Distance to Make a Difference."
Boeu Chon, DO, New York City – Running for Maria Fareri Children's Hospital, a member of WMCHealth
Since joining the medical team at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital six years ago, Boeu, a pediatric anesthesiologist, has had the opportunity to care for many children, whether working on routine cases or more unique and challenging ones, such as the first-ever separation of conjoined twins at the Children's Hospital in January. "I find caring for pediatric patients and their families incredibly fulfilling," he said. "When I run in this year's TCS New York City Marathon, I will remember the meaningful work that I have the opportunity to do each day and think of the pediatric patients we care for at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital."
Fred Dombrowski, PhD, LMHC, Milford, Conn. – Running for the Behavioral Health Center, a member of WMCHealth
In his role as an outpatient mental health counselor for the Behavioral Health Center at Westchester Medical Center, Fred works with many patients with varying struggles and with those who identify as LGBT. Part of his role is to connect patients with adjunct care in the community. "Considering the stigma that surrounds mental health, many patients – especially those who identify as LGBT - may avoid entering into treatment," he said. "By running the TCS New York City Marathon on behalf of our behavioral health patients, I hope to minimize the stigma and provide a reminder that anything is possible with hard work and determination."
Leslie Guido, RN, New Windsor, N.Y. – Running for Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of WMCHealth
Since joining the Westchester Medical Center in 1987, Leslie has held numerous positions including assistant associate nursing care coordinator, staff nurse ICUD, nurse manager of Sub- Acute Rehab and nursing supervisor in Taylor Care. She is currently a clinical documentation specialist. Leslie was encouraged by one of the Orthopedic Physician's Assistants to run WMC's 2015 Healing Half/10K. "After that, I ran some 5Ks, and by the time I ran the Healing Half/10K in 2016, I found I was really enjoying running," she said. This past spring, she ran the NYC Half Marathon and completed it in 2:07:55.
To make a contribution to support the runners who will "Go the Distance to Make a Difference" for healthcare in the Hudson Valley, click here. All donations collected will support the essential programs and services of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network and its 10 area hospitals.

Despite the conventional wisdom of Europe being some kind of mass transportation nirvana, it appears that folks in the old continent also love their cars:
Figure 3 illustrates the dominance of the car as the major form of motorised travel in Europe - and particularly in GB where we have the second highest mode share (88%). This trend has remained constant for more than a decade.
The related chart shows that 12 of the 15 European nations studied had a car usage rate (per person, per kilometer) of over 80% and the other three had a rate of over 70%.
Hit tip to FurturePundit, who has an interesting post on transportation.

|KAuth Tutorial
|How to use KAuth Actions, Creating a KAuth helper, Basic knowledge in creating a KCModule
|What's Next
|Further Reading
|KCModule Class Reference
{{Review|Port to KF5}
A very common use case for KAuth helper are KCModules, which sometimes need to obtain high privileges upon saving. For this reason, KAuth has been integrated into KCModule API and kcmshell's appearance, to grant developers an extremely easy way to deploy privileged KCMs, and at the same time a very consistent and usable interface to your users.
The coding part is extremely easy, although this comes at the price of following some strict conventions, which also help KCM permission handling to stay consistent.
The action name has to follow this format:
Where <modulename> is the output of aboutData()->appName(), also known as the very first parameter you supply to KAboutData constructor.
Following this format is compulsory to make the KCM work.
In your KCModule's constructor, supposing you created the action as described above, you have to do the following:
This function automatically does the following:
So everything is done for you. The only requirement is that setNeedsAuthorization should be called after setAboutData and setButtons, otherwise it will fail.
To save your module, here's what needs to be done in the save() function of your KCM:
void MyKCM::save()
QVariantMap helperargs;
// Populate....
Action *action = authAction();
ActionReply reply = action->execute();
if (reply.failed())
if (reply.type() == ActionReply::KAuthError) {
// There has been an internal KAuth error
KMessageBox::error(this, i18n("Unable to authenticate/execute the action: %1, %2", reply.errorCode(), reply.errorDescription()));
} else {
// Our helper triggered a custom error
// Act accordingly...
The only difference you'll find with what you are used to do when executing KAuth Actions is the authAction() method. This method belongs to KCModule's API and returns the action internally created by setNeedsAuthorization(true), or 0 if no action was created.
This action is already associated to the correct helper (see below) and ready to be executed: you just have to supply any additional arguments to it.
You should already know how to create a KAuth helper, so this part won't be covered here. There are, however, some strict requirements to the helper format, just like for the action name.
No additional macros are needed, except the ones already shown to build the helper.
As you have seen, there are almost no differences with a KCM not requiring high privileges, especially when deploying and building the module.
Porting a module requiring high privileges to KAuth is extremely easy and strongly advised, both for security and consistency, since your user will be provided with a better and more integrated overall experience.

This year, instead of starting another weight-loss program, concentrate on eating a healthy diet. The best diet for you will help you reach your ideal weight while providing you with the nutrients you need to be and stay healthy.
But what makes a good diet — concentrating on high protein or high carbohydrate? Some people burn calories fast and do better eating more complex carbohydrates. Hint: They're usually thin people. Others burn calories slowly. These people feel and look best when they eat more protein. Either way, getting sufficient protein is vital. So is eating good quality foods — foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fats, and low in toxins.
You might think that because I'm a vegetarian, I'm biased against meat-based diets. Actually, I'm biased against unhealthy diets. It's tough to be a healthy vegetarian and get enough protein. It's not much easier to be a healthy carnivore and eat good quality protein that's not laced with toxins.
Carbohydrate sensitivity
Call it insulin resistance, Syndrome X, or hyperinsulinemia — they all mean that when you eat a lot of starches or sugars, your blood sugar rises too high and your body doesn't secrete insulin appropriately. Instead of using these foods for energy, your body stores its calories in fat tissues. Carbohydrate sensitivity causes weight gain, raises your cholesterol, which can lead to heart disease, and contributes to diabetes.
Yo-yo dieting, not exercising, and a diet high in refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, white rice), alcohol abuse, and smoking all contribute to carbohydrate sensitivity. About 25 percent of all Americans and 75 percent of overweight people have insulin resistance. Dr. Robert Atkins developed his high-protein diet to correct this problem.
Enter Dr. Atkins
For more than 40 years, Robert Atkins was a medical doctor who used nutrition in his practice. He noticed a common problem in many patients that affected their health and weight: Fluctuating blood-sugar levels. His solution was simple. Avoid refined carbohydrates and greatly increase animal protein and unprocessed fats to stabilize blood sugar. Eat more fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants to counteract the damage from free radicals that occur in a diet high in rancid and processed fats.
To meet the needs of his overweight patients, he developed a radical weight-loss program emphasizing animal protein and eliminating carbohydrates, even those that were unrefined. His patients lost weight and their glucose levels stabilized. However, this diet is high in pesticides, hormones, and other toxins that are stored in the fat tissues of meat, chicken, dairy, and fish. And a large study on nutrition and disease concluded that a diet high in animal protein contributes to cancer and heart disease.
While Dr. Atkins insists that eating so much meat won't raise your cholesterol, my brother's cholesterol skyrocketed on this diet – and he ate lots of veggies like a good boy. If you eat a high animal-protein diet for more than a few months, get your cholesterol checked. My greatest quarrel with the Atkins weight loss diet is that it doesn't emphasize food quality. Ann Louise Gittleman does.

(Reuters) - The latest track of Tropical Storm Isaac puts more than $36 billion in Gulf Coast residential property at risk of flooding from storm surges, with southeastern Louisiana at greatest peril of huge losses, residential data analysis company CoreLogic said on Sunday.
Isaac bore down on the Florida Keys Sunday afternoon, with the latest National Hurricane Center forecasts suggesting a Mississippi landfall Wednesday morning as a Category 2 hurricane.
Some of the computer models used by meteorologists put Isaac on a more westerly track, though, bringing it directly into or just west of New Orleans.
Either way, CoreLogic said conditions were increasingly unfavorable along the Gulf Coast for storm surge, which is the water that a hurricane pushes forward as it moves toward land.
The firm estimated nearly 223,000 New Orleans-area properties worth $30.44 billion were vulnerable to flood damage from a Category 2 hurricane hitting the region. Across the broader Gulf Coast, more than 269,000 properties worth around $36 billion were endangered.
New Orleans is already highly susceptible to flooding because it is so low-lying; in 2005 Hurricane Katrina caused storm surges in excess of 25 feet.
"Unlike wind, homeowners and property owners can't mitigate against storm surge," said Howard Botts, a vice president at CoreLogic, in an interview Sunday.
Disaster modeler AIR Worldwide previously estimated Katrina ultimately caused more than $21 billion in storm surge losses, most of them uninsured, across three states.
The forecasts that suggest Isaac will make land west of the city actually amplify the problem, as winds are stronger and surge more intense on the storm's right side.
"So much of the city still lies below sea level, once you get water overtopping any of the protective structures, you're going to get a lot of properties impacted," Botts said.
Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state's insurer of last resort, has already stopped accepting new applications for coverage ahead of the storm, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency has deployed teams to the state.
FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program was wiped out by Katrina in 2005, requiring a bailout that has left the program with a debt load it may never retire. The program still has nearly 493,000 policies in force in Louisiana alone.
As a New Orleans meteorologist said on the city's WWL radio early Sunday, when asked about the impact Isaac could have on the city, "things (are) not looking the best for us."

BRIGHTON midfielder Dale Stephens feels it will be a special occasion when he runs out against the side who gave him his Championship chance on Saturday.
Albion, who moved back to the summit after a 2-1 home success over Birmingham City last time out, welcome fourth-from-bottom Charlton to the Amex.
The Addicks are a club close to Stephens' heart, after he made more than 80 appearances for the London side.
That opportunity also saw him taste Championship football and the now Albion midfielder looks back on his time with Charlton fondly.
He said: "I enjoyed my two and a half years with them.
"A lot has changed since I came to Brighton but I have got lots of fond memories from my time there.
"They gave me the opportunity to have first-team Championship level and I'm grateful for that chance.
"I also felt I progressed a great deal as a footballer in my time there, so I have good memories of Charlton.
"But I came to Brighton because of their ambition and we have shown this year we are capable of mixing it with the top teams and that was a big factor in me coming here."
Albion remain unbeaten after 18 games and last week's victory over Birmingham saw them climb back to the top.
For some, Brighton's superb form this season will have come as a surprise but Stephens admits himself and the side have great belief.
He added: "We had a meeting pre-season and we spoke about what we wanted to achieve this year and it's going to plan.
"It's very tight still and there is a long way to go. All we can do is focus on ourselves and take it game by game."
