Lots of websites are established on a daily basis with the intention of making sales online or getting customers from the Internet. These websites do official business which is targeted to a certain geographical scope; it may be targeted only to one country, a number of countries, or even the whole world.
Search engines like Google has been doing its best to return the most relevant search results to their users. One of the ways they have improved dramatically concerns how "geo-targeting" has been handled by the Google algorithm.
This article attempts to examine the different factors affecting the "geo-targeting" aspect of Google. If we have this information, it can be used to guide web masters and SEO professionals to make clear decisions as to where the website and its registrants be oriented to get the most benefits from Google's "geo-targeting."
Country-code TLD and Location of Searcher
What we need to check is the effectiveness of the use of country-based TLDs (top level domain). Common questions include: do country-based TLDs affect the search engine ranking if the searcher is in a particular location?
The answer is yes, it matters a lot. For example, www.moneysearch.ca's ranking for the key term "commercial loans online" varies based on the location of the searcher and whether he or she is using different Google country-based search engines.
If a searcher is located in the US and using www.google.com for the search query "commercial loans online" (without quotes), www.moneysearch.ca ranks at position 81. This is because the domain uses the .ca TLD, which is a Canadian-based domain, so it is not relevant to US-based searchers/results. Instead, Google returns mostly US-based website.
If a searcher is located in the US and using www.google.ca for the same query (commercial loans online), www.moneysearch.ca now ranks at position 10. This is because the user wants to see Canadian-based results, as indicated by using the google.ca search engine.
If a searcher is located in Canada and using www.google.ca for the same query, www.moneysearch.ca ranks at position 4.
What if a searcher is located in Canada and using www.google.com? The result is that www.moneysearch.ca ranks at position 48. It has a better ranking than it does for search engine queries in the US using www.google.com.
Conclusions and recommendations: If you are targeting a specific country, then make use of the country code TLD of your targeted country. This gives you better rankings in your preferred target location. However, if you do target several countries, using a country code TLD is not advisable; instead, use a generic TLD such as .com, .net, or .org which does not have any country associated with it. Also, remember that search location can influence ranking results, as observed above.
Now you have the information pertaining to country-based TLDs and searcher location. The next thing to examine is the relationship between server IP location and search engine rankings. To clearly establish if there is indeed a significant difference in the search engine results, we use the test variables and inputs below:
Targeted country: United States (first data set) , United Kingdom (second dataset)
Google country search engine: http://www.google.com/ for US and http://www.google.co.uk for UK
Targeted keyword: buy books
Tool used to determine the country where it is hosted:
Tool used to determine the IP address of the website: Linux Terminal Ping Command
We are assuming the searcher comes from the same targeted country to simulate realistic conditions. This can be done using a proxy browser (for example, using a US Proxy browser to check US rankings and a UK proxy browser to check UK rankings).
See the results for US:
Based on the above results, server location of the website does indeed play a significant role in the top 10 results. Seventy percent of the websites in the Google US top 10 are hosted in the US.
To provide a much more accurate observation, we will replicate the test for the United Kingdom. Below is the result (using the same targeted keyword but using www.google.co.uk, and the searcher comes from the UK).
The result is similar to Google US shown above. Around 80% of the websites in the Google UK top 10 are also hosted in the UK. One of the interesting aspects of both results is that the country level TLD also plays a major role. Estimating the results, around 60% of the websites in the Google UK top 10 use the co.uk TLD.
Conclusions and Recommendations: The two above observations say that Google prefers to rank websites in a specific Google country search engine that is also hosted in that same country.
To increase your ranking success and to have an easier path to Google's first page, it is suggested that you host your website in the same country that you are targeting.
Websites are owned by so-called "registrants" that are also the owners of the business. These businesses are registered in their locality or the country in which they are operating. It is hypothesized that Google also looks at these registrant addresses to determine whether the website is relevant to specific searches done in a specific country.
Below is the result of a sample observation conducted using the same targeted keyword "buy books" in both www.google.com and www.google.co.uk.
You will notice that 70% of the websites ranking in www.google.co.uk top 10 for buy books are owned by registrants registered/based in the UK. Meanwhile, in the US, 100% of the websites in www.google.com top 10 for the same keyword are owned by registrants based in the US.
This says that the registrant's address is a strong factor in geo-targeting that influences search engine results in different countries.
Conclusions and recommendations: To increase relevance in your preferred/targeted location, it is suggested to have your registrant address in the same location as your targeted country. This is a useful piece of information that Google uses to determine if your website is doing business or being registered in that specific location.
There are a lot of "geo-related" factors observed by the SEO community in Google. However (except from the above list), they have not been proven to really be a significant factor.
1. Regional Listings in Yahoo directory. These are paid listings on http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/. Some people claim they benefit from geo-targeting when being listed on the regional section.
2. Regional Listings in DMOZ. These are free listings on http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/ that supposedly provide the same benefit from regional listings as being on Yahoo directory. Note that Google uses DMOZ data in their Google directory, which might be factored into the algorithm.
3. The nature of the content. Languages and the way the content is written (for example, for which audiences) certainly influence ranking. This is why we can only see Russian websites selling books in www.google.ru and not in www.google.com.
Do a search for buy books in www.google.ru, and you can see Russian websites using the Russian language in the first page results. For example: http://buy-books.ru/ — this website does not rank in other countries, such as in www.google.com's US results.
4. The nature of back links and external links. Some people have theorized (though it has not been proven) that if you have a back link profile of UK-based websites, it will help your rankings in www.google.co.uk. The same is supposedly true with external links; if you are linking to mostly UK-based websites, this also helps Google see that you are targeting the UK.
5. Geographic targeting in Google Webmaster Tools. This certainly helps, as this is being suggested by Google. When it seems impossible for you to set up your website using the suggestions above, this seems to be the easiest and most straightforward option to specify your geographic target. Bear in mind that there is still no guarantee, and it's up to Google and its algorithm to decide where your site should rank in the end.

Suri's Worst Nightmare Realized: Six Reasons for Suri Cruise to Fear the Royal Fetus
Guest columnist Allie Hagan is the author of the wisecracking blog Suri's Burn Book and its companion book Suri's Burn Book: Well-Dressed Commentary from Hollywood's Little Sweetheart.
My faux version of Suri Cruise has feared this week for years, having been guarding her heart against the possibility of a royal baby since long before Prince William married Kate. But what is it about this little heir-to-be that sets him or her apart from the rest of the celebrity baby pack? Here's a deconstruction of what Suri fears most about the future Royal Highness.
Baby Cambridge will redefine his or her name — regardless of what it is.
Will and Kate won't need to name their baby Blue Ivy or Zuma Nesta Rock to make him or her stand out. Even if the baby is Elizabeth or James, he or she will already be just about the most famous Elizabeth or James in the world.
Obviously, this baby is a literal prince — or, even scarier for Suri, a princess.
For as enamored as American tabloid readers are with Hollywood celebrity families, there's something about the royals that garners them a unique kind of attention. The little prince or princess is going to be a media darling the likes of which this era of celeb-obsessed journalism has never seen. Everyone is going to be overshadowed.
This is the first British royal baby born in the modern media.
The concept of a "celebrity baby" is a relatively new one. My theory is that the cultural obsession with baby bumps and obscure celebrity baby names and all things celebrity child came about at the same time as human interest magazines got serious about their websites — and had to fill them with content 24/7. They needed more celebrities, and the children of existing celebs were a natural progression, especially when Shiloh, Suri, Kingston, and Violet were all born within a five-month span. The attention about to be paid to Kate's baby bump is going to be outrageous.
There's a fifty-fifty chance this kid is going to get Kate's hair.
On the flip side, it could also get William's.
The clothes will be legendary.
Every single outfit this child wears is going to be written about, and every onesie Kate dresses her baby in will sell out lightning-fast. Suri Cruise, Harper Beckham, and the other celebrity child fashionistas (clothesponies, as I call them) are about to be out-outfitted in a big way. And Kate won't even have to try. There was a rumor going around that Victoria Beckham never dresses Harper in the same clothes twice — but Baby Cambridge's "fashion sense" will be international "news" no matter what.
It could be twins.
Wouldn't that be fun?

COLUMBIA - Beaufort and Jasper counties both saw their unemployment rate grow more than a full percentage point from May to June.
Beaufort County's jobless rate rose from 6.8 percent in May to 7.9 percent last month, while Jasper County jumped from 6.9 percent to 8.1.
The state as a whole, however, was more stable. South Carolina's rate edged up from 8 percent to 8.1, continuing South Carolina's longstanding position lagging behind the nation's recovery. The national jobless rate was 7.6 percent.
In South Carolina, trade, transportation, and utilities grew by 7,200 jobs, while professional and business services added 4,400, and leisure and hospitality gained 2,900. Construction jobs increased by 1,100 and manufacturing grew by 1,000.
Other industries shed positions, including 1,200 in education and health, 600 in financial activities, and 200 in government.
Beaufort and Jasper counties have typically enjoyed lower unemployment rates than other counties, in part because of the coast's higher retiree population and reliable hospitality industry. The jobs picture is likely to improve further in the upcoming year, as some large-scale developments take shape.
A geriatric post-acute care facility in Bluffton is estimated to create 325 full-time jobs with an average salary of $48,000, according to projections PACE Healthcare submitted to South Carolina regulators. Project leaders are still trying to secure financing for the facility, which could cost nearly $100 million, including $55 million to acquire real estate.
More recently, a Georgia development company, Jaz Development, has proposed a brownfield clean up plan as part of its effort to purchase 66 acres in Bluffton near the Crescent residential community. The company's plan is to construct a regional shopping center.

Shipping cost: $10.00
Artist + Tish DouzartFollow this artist
My artistic journey has taken me from performing artist to visual artist in the most unlikely ways. I originally moved to New Orleans to get a degree in music. Unexpected circumstances led me in quite a different direction. After changing my major to graphic design, I signed up for an intro class in printmaking. It was a hands-on version of what I planned to do on a computer. As the art department put my chosen major on a short hiatus, I kept with printmaking and continued to learn new techniques. When the graphic design program returned, I had already gained such an appreciation and love for the hands on creative process and a certain affinity for the smell of an old-fashioned print shop, that I decided to complete my degree in printmaking. Graduation is a faint memory now, but I continue learning new things about my medium each day.
Creating art provides therapy for the one who is trying to comprehend the world around them. I liken it to meditation, a time for self-examination into my own thoughts and "mind traffic". The subject matter is secondary. The process, or meditation, becomes the true art form. Printmaking is very process-oriented and the need for this type of movement is the only way I can create.

LINKOPING, Sweden, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Saab is serial producing integrated electronic warfare self-defense systems for use on Indian Army and Air Force helicopters.
The two orders, worth a total of about $33 million, were placed by Hindustan Aeronautic Limited, which will install the units on the advanced light helicopter.
"Saab has an unbeaten capability in the field of electronic warfare and self-protection," said Micael Johansson, senior vice president and head of Saab's Electronic Defense Systems business area. "The IDAS system is one of our flagship products sold to customers around the world."
Saab's Integrated Defensive Aids Suite (IDAS) warns pilots of radar, laser and missile approach threats and automatically deploys the appropriate countermeasures.
The two orders received initial serial production orders received from India in 2008. Development and production of the IDAS system will take place at Saab in Centurion, South Africa, with deliveries scheduled to start next year.
"With these orders we continue to build on our very successful partnership with HAL," said Lars-Olof Lindgren, head of Market Area Saab India.

About Firm-core:
PleasureWorks® knows you like it hard… and soft! So we're bringing you both at once with our sexy and squeezable firm-core dildo line. Enjoy 100% quality silicone harness-compatible toys with a more lifelike feel than most silicone can offer!

Warms to body temperature during use, great with vibrations, easy to clean with mild soap and water, and hand crafted in the USA!
Please note: Dual density silicone can be a little "tacky" on the surface, a property of the much-softer-than usual silicone used on the outside, though once your toys is lubed up, that feeling reduces. We recommend dusting with cornstarch after washing to restore smoothness.

I have to admit when I first got the rookie I laughed a bit. I am a bit of a size queen so I thought this lil thing would never be able to satisfy but BOI WAS I WRONG. Not only is the curve delicious hitting the spot just right, the firmness adds to the pressure that will get me off and wanting more. This dildo also has the option of adding a bullet which is a wonderful sensation OR you can take out the bullet and put the dildo on your finger! Its like the best finger extender ever!!What can I say, it was gush at first ride!! <3
Wanted to try something new and decided to give anal play a chance with my wife. Since we were new, I thought the "rookie" dildo with harness was the place to start. The first couple sessions could not get insertion. I guess it takes some time to learn to relax. Finally, with some warm up and lots of lube we got it in. With the little vibration for sensation and smooth in and out action the pleasure was wildly exciting. Thinking about moving up to bigger and better, but this one fills the pleasure bill for now.
I'm not new to masturbation but new to toys like this. I just got it and have already used it twice! It's a great size for me, I'm not very big. And the bullet vibrator is amazingggg! So powerful for such a tiny thing! Would definitely recommend this toy!
The size and heft are great for a first-timer. I'll admit I was a bit nervous purchasing this since I've generally stayed away from dildos (I've never had anything larger than a tampon up there, and most of what you see advertised are things like ENORMOUS MAGNUM MONSTER DONG: HYPER-REALISTIC VEINS, GUARANTEED VAGINAL DESTRUCTION kinds of dildos), but the moniker "rookie" really was appropriate. There was just enough stretch to feel full, but not so much that it was a chore fitting it, and the vibrations were enough to give it a good tingle but not so much it was uncomfortable. Definitely a good starter dildo, and I look forward to working my way up the series. The only caution I would give is about the material since the surface feels kind of like non-slip rubber. I'd recommend covering it with a condom and then lubing the hell out of it. All in all, a good purchase.

Biomass boiler to be delivered for energy project
A biomass boiler by Metso will be supplied for a biomass-fueled cogeneration power plant in Wisconsin
Metso will supply a biomass boiler for the We Energies/Domtar Biomass Energy Project owned by We Energies. The biomass boiler is part of a major investment to build a new biomass-fueled cogeneration power plant which will be located at the Domtar Mill in Rothschild, Wisconsin, USA.
The biomass boiler plant will utilize circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology and will use waste wood from logging and mill activity, tree trimming and sawdust as the main fuel. The plant will produce approximately 50 megawatts of renewable electric power and provide process steam to the mill. The commercial operation of the plant is scheduled for 2013.

Scott Machado was looking to cleanse himself.
The former Iona point guard had hoped to hear his name called at the NBA Draft on Thursady. Instead, he was bypassed, mere months after leading the nation in assists. He returned to the court this weekend at the Hoops in the Sun streetball league at Orchard Beach in The Bronx on Sunday to forget about that disappointment.
"You come back to a tournament like this so you can get your confidence back," Machado said.
He got that and little bit more after his buzzer-beating 3-pointer banked in off the glass to give the Rosedale Trailblazers a thrilling 85-83 win over the Silva All Stars. Machado, who was inbounding the ball under the basket, took a handoff in close courters deep along the right side, rose and fired over three defenders.
"I told my teammates pass the ball back because I wanted to take the last shot," the Queens native said. "'Let me see the ball. I'm going to make the last shot.' You can ask any one of them."
It was the cap to his 18-point performance as he helped bail out teammate and friend Haron (H20) Hargrave, who previously missed a key technical free throw with Rosedale down a point. A few possessions earlier, Machado hit a circus layup on the left side that spun up on the top of the backboard and found its way in the hoop to give his team an 82-81 lead. Kyle Hunt led Rosedale with 30 points.
"That was supposed to just hit the backboard and go in," he said. "The wind out here blesses me sometimes."
The performance comes on the heels of the 6-foot-2 Machado getting his possible NBA career off the ground. He said multiple teams have contacted him, such as the Bobcats, Raptors, Cavaliers, Hawks and Rockets, according to sources — and he already has a summer league destination, but cannot reveal it until Tuesday.
"I'll be going somewhere good, though," Machado said. "It makes everything feel a lot better."
Those close to him were surprised by Machado being snubbed on draft day. Hoops in the Sun announcer Uncle G-Stacks said over the mic that, "The NBA made a mistake the other night" and that he was going to "call David Stern right now." Hargrave, who has known Machado since he was high school, said it felt like he wasn't drafted that night.
"Whatever team gets him is getting a diamond in the rough," Hargrave said. "A lot of teams passed up on him. I know that's going to be fuel for him. He is going to play big."

Munsey Park board OKs term limit for mayor
Munsey Park trustees have voted to adopt term limits for the village mayor, fulfilling a promise that the new mayor and two trustees made during their campaigns.
The move, which limits the mayor to three consecutive two-year terms and requires a waiting period of at least two years before that mayor can run again, was approved Wednesday on a 4-1 vote, with trustee Susan Auriemma dissenting.
The vote followed a spirited 20-minute discussion on the issue between the board and residents.
Mayor Frank DeMento, who defeated 17-year incumbent Harry Nicolaides in March, said voters were receptive to the idea of term limits during his campaign.
"It was a popular issue and most people seemed to agree," said DeMento, whose slate included new trustees Patrick Hance and Sean Haggerty.
But Auriemma said the measure was unnecessary.
"I think you guys have demonstrated that the two-year term works," she said.
Vincent Syracuse, a former member of the board, agreed.
"If there's somebody here too long, the way you defeat that person is through the ballot box," he said.
Trustee Matthew Seidner wondered what harm would come from the measure, and thought it would spur more residents to get involved in government.
"It potentially lights a fire under people to say, 'Well, you know what? Maybe we should start thinking of a changeover.' "
Also at the meeting, Seidner announced he will leave the board this summer because he is moving from the village. He said he would step down upon his move, planned for August, or sooner if the mayor chooses a new trustee before then.

In recognition of the World Environment Day, members of 20 hill tribe communities in Doi Mae Salong (Northern Thailand) held a water ceremony on June 5th.
Village elders paid respect to water spirits, and a traditional bamboo construction to bring sacrificial offerings was set up on the Doi Mae Salong River bank. 300 participants from highland as well as lowland communities planted 2000 trees to rehabilitate the watershed's ecological functions.
As part of the event, the area of Doi Mae Salong was declared a conservation area, where local communities would work together to conserve and rehabilitate common natural resources.
The Doi Mae Salong headwater area is part of IUCN's Livelihoods and Landscapes Strategy (LLS) . The project focuses on watershed rehabilitation and poverty alleviation through measures of forest landscape restoration.
IUCN had sponsored and organized the event in cooperation with the Hill Area Development Foundation, a local Ngo committed to improve and coordinate environmental management and social development in Doi Mae Salong.
Wuttipong Sawanchote, chief of the sub district, said he was committed to support the event being held again next year and announced to fund the tree seedlings. He highlighted the event as a demonstration of how people in the highlands cooperate closely with downstream communities to conserve the environment and water resources they rely on.
For more information about the Livelihoods and Landscapes (LLS) project have a look at the LLS Doi Mae Salong website.

Share Your Next Airport Taxi With This Website
You know the drill. You touch down at the airport and claim your luggage; maybe grab some coffee, run to the restroom or make a quick phone call. But your trip's not over quite yet. You still need to get into the city. Outside, there's a line of people — bags in hand, tempers short — waiting for cab rides. You could get lucky and find someone who's willing to split one if they're going the same direction as you. It's a tough find, though. Chances are, you end up waiting for ages.
And on it goes.
A new website called Shairporter aims to fix that. It's a basic platform that connects you with others to share taxi rides to and from New York City airports — the end goal being to save you both time and money.
"The United States is a very car-centric country," Winston Wu, Shairporter's founder, tells Mashable. "There's not a lot of high-speed, direct rail between airports and cities like there are in China, Hong Kong or London. So that's how I came up with this idea."
Shairporter works two ways: you can either search the site for rides or post your own to share. The three major New York City metropolitan area airports — JFK, LaGuardia and Newark — can be used through the site.
To begin, you log into the site through Facebook. Once you're in, you can view what rides have been posted, either through the live stream on the home page or by searching for specific locations, times or dates. Each listing has an estimated price and trip time, as well as a brief profile and contact information of who you'll be sharing a cab with.
If you can't find a ride that fits what you're looking for, you can post one instead. Same concept as above: select from a drop down menu where you'll be leaving from and arriving to, and enter the date and time. You can add an additional message to your post too, like where to meet or what to bring.
The major rule is that one of the locations, either your destination or arrival spot, must be an airport.
"There's something, like, 70 billion one-way trips between LGA or JFK and Manhattan every year," Wu says. "Most of the people — about two thirds, I'd guess — commute by taxi or black car individually just because everything else is pretty inconvenient."
Wu cites the recent taxi fare hikes in New York as an example of why sharing rides should be desired — especially now that the holidays are approaching, he says. In September, yellow cabs increased rates by 17%; trips between airports and the city also hiked their prices. To ride from JFK to Manhattan now, for example, costs you a $52 flat fare, not including tolls or a tip — up from its previous $45 rate.
The website is still in its infancy stage — it only launched eight weeks ago. But, Wu says, he's already planning to release a mobile app towards the beginning of next year.
"The difference is that the website is more of an 'arrange ahead of time' type thing, and the mobile app is going to be more real time," he says. "If you're at the airport, you could basically open up the app and see who's in your terminal, who's going to the same neighborhood — you'll be able to arrange things very quickly."
Additionally, he says, he plans to expand to other big cities throughout the country, starting next year.
In an additional marketing move, Shairporter is offering free cab rides to all New York City airports on November 21 as part of its "Free Fare For All" campaign. The only requirement to get a free ride is that you register with the site, he says.
"Ideally, if we can get our community to arrange with each other after they buy their plane tickets, it'd be a win for everyone," he says. "Finding a cab isn't hard, but finding a person to share it with is. The vision here is that people will connect with one another and change how we share cabs."
What do you think? Would you use this? If you don't live in New York, would you want to see this come to your city? Let us know.

Fletcher hands Stanley victory
Wes Fletcher scored the winning goal to hand Accrington a 2-1 home victory and end Burton's unbeaten start to the league season.
The on-loan Burnley striker got on the end of Dean Winnard's ball forward, beat defender Ryan Austin on the right and slotted the ball low into the net from 10 yards out with just nine minutes remaining.
Burton led after 39 minutes when Justin Richards fired home his third goal of the season after a Stanley attack was broken up and Adam Bolder played a superb ball out of defence to send the striker racing through.
He beat the offside trap, got to the edge of the area and fired past Sean Murdoch after 39 minutes.
However, Stanley came out stronger after the break with debutant Danny Coid hitting the inside of the post before their pressure paid off on 72 minutes when a Sean Hessey free-kick led to Winnard getting the final touch for his first goal of the campaign.
And then Fletcher came up with the winner - his second goal in three games for Stanley since his switch from Turf Moor as Accrington recorded their second win of the campaign.

Jeff Ashton talks State Attorney win with WESH
Ashton hopeful for smooth transition
Fresh off his win for Orange-Osceola Counties State Attorney, Jeff Ashton visited WESH 2 to talk about the campaign and the future with Meredith McDonough on Sunrise.
Ashton delivered an upset to his former boss, State Attorney Lawson Lamar, who held the office for 26 years.
Ashton, who was part of the team that prosecuted Casey Anthony in 2011, said the often contentious campaign won't affect the future of the office.
""I wish it hadn't become as personal as it was ... but politics is what it is," Ashton said.
"I'm sure that we will move on from this and make a smooth transition," he said.
Ashton said he's looking forward to starting work.
"One of the big things I'm excited about doing is getting everyone together and talking how to make things better," Ashton said. "We're going to have alwyers making wise decisions that benefit the community."
Ashton said he was surprised when Casey Anthony's father, George Anthony, showed up to his victory celebration on Tuesday night.
He said Anthony came to congratulate him and that their conversation was very brief.
Ashton will start work as State Attorney in January.

The mystery surrounding the death of Junior Seau, the man, may never be solved. The mystery that was Junior Seau, the football player, wasn't solved, either. Junior couldn't be figured out on the field. His game was an athletic whodunit without a clear denouement.
This is a day to celebrate Junior as a player. Because there was no one else like him. He played with great passion, with explosion, twisting the orthodox into a knot. He played as if in the dark. He could not be followed.
Most every great player, no matter the position, is different. They set themselves apart. No one ever did linebacker like Junior.
There were times Seau was a lone wolf, overreacting or overthinking and putting himself out of position. But he had to drive offensive coordinators nuts.
Rick "Goose" Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News is the most knowledgeable football writer in America and knows more about talent than most NFL general managers. I've been told the Cowboys annually put his top 100 collegians on their war room wall. I respect his opinion as much as anyone's.
"A terrific, terrific freelance linebacker," Gosselin said of Seau through an email. "He was Bobby Bell a couple of decades later. He probably was the most dynamic player of his era, but I'd still have (Dick) Butkus ahead of him as the most dynamic in history. You feared Junior's plays but you feared Butkus' hits. But you can count the defenders ahead of him on one hand."
Freelance. That was Junior. Great players make great plays. Seau was a great player who made great plays.
He was a load, a nightmare for opposing coaches, who had to look at film and think they were trying to block a ghost. So I went to Chargers head coach and offensive play-caller Norv Turner, who as coordinator in Dallas and head coach with Washington and Oakland, had to prepare for Seau many times. Turner also was with Miami when Junior left the Chargers and went to the Dolphins in 2003.
"The No. 1 thing about Junior was that he was such an explosive player he'd defeat one-on-one blocks and he was a great tackler," Norv says. "Most people felt he had a green light. Some keys you normally get with players you didn't with him.
"More than anything, he made it hard to run the ball. He made it hard to get things blocked and teams would eventually abandon the run for the pass. He always was going to the ball. Some guys like to freelance, but they couldn't do what Junior did; they couldn't be Junior. He had the ability to close distance so fast."
Coaches love practice. Not all players do. Seau practiced liked he played — all out.
"The great thing about Junior is that he never even took a down off in practice," Norv says. "When he came to Miami it was a very veteran defense with a lot of successful players, and he became an instant leader and pacesetter for the group. When I got here (in 2001, as offensive coordinator) we had just gotten LT (LaDainian Tomlinson) and we were excited about the offense. But once we got to minicamp, we found this was a defensive team. And it was Junior. He made practices exciting."
You couldn't count on Seau sitting still. Film didn't do him justice because a coordinator had to know that if he prepared for Junior to be in one spot, chances were great he was going to be someplace else. His was a game of unpredictability, and he studied the sport.
One of football's greatest students is Tom Bass, among the more literate football coaches. Tom served as Chargers defensive coordinator under Don Coryell in the early 1980s (and was with Don from the beginning at San Diego State), but never had the chance to coach a Seau here. He did in Tampa Bay, when he had Lee Roy and Dewey Selmon and Hugh Green.
"You had to game-plan for Junior, but you never knew where he was going," Bass says. "The impressive thing was that he played within the system and also outside of it. He had a great knack for anticipating what was going to happen. People say he gambled a bit, but in reality, his insight led him to the ball.
"A lot of players are reluctant to go out of scheme because they're afraid they'll make a mistake. I don't think Junior ever felt that way. He had a mind that got him to the football, and that's a great trait for an inside linebacker to have. He never was going to be 100–percent right, or he would have been a bookie in Vegas. Even when he was wrong, you had to account for him and that created problems for offensive coordinators. You'd better have somebody blocking him.
"He was a great player with a great zest for life. We talked often and not always about football. He was my type of player."
The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Joe Horrigan says that, despite Seau's death, he won't be eligible for the Hall until 2015, following the guideline that a player must be out of the game for five years.
The rule should be eliminated.

Say hello to "go-anywhere" funds, arguably this market cycle's product du jour. Following quickly on the heels of strong asset flows into these offerings in 2010, fund managers and manufacturers have been busy launching new products throughout 2011. How busy? Of the 126 funds in the space, most of which reside in Morningstar's World Allocation category, nearly half were launched in the last two years. And with good success—through the end of August, according to Morningstar, investors had added some $33 billion of net assets to the collective go-anywhere fund lineup in just the previous 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2011.
Given the recent macro-dominated market environment, the rising interest in the self-described go-anywhere strategy is not at all surprising. It's easy to see how investors, increasingly disillusioned with "constrained" active management mandates missing opportunities, find the notion of an unrestricted approach altogether appealing. In tough markets, investors tend to want to give their managers more latitude.
Beyond that, but just as important, the simultaneous trends toward increased outsourcing and relaxing constraints are adding traction to the go-anywhere space. We believe investors have gained a new appreciation for how accurate they need to be in their forecasts as the building blocks of a portfolio become more granular. In other words, additional layers of complexity have increased the potential for estimation errors and investors and advisors would rather outsource that effort.
How Do You Compare the Incomparable?
While one strategy can vary greatly from the next, go-anywhere funds basically come in two forms: Those that have the latitude to freely move within an asset class, an all-cap equity fund for example, and those that can move freely within asset classes, like a global tactical strategy. Either way, the funds are characterized by managers with broad discretionary powers—and usually a short track record. All of that puts extra onus on wealth managers to thoroughly vet a strategy and properly set expectations for its role in a client's portfolio.
Particular attributes to look for in a go-anywhere strategy include top-down skills, past successes in navigating various markets, and overall firm resources. A global organization that can feed the key decision maker with pinpoint intelligence in a timely fashion is important, especially for a multi-asset class strategy. Even with the resources of a global network, it's difficult for a professional investor to expand an area of expertise to so many markets and regions. Look for proof of past execution and indication of nimbleness going forward.
A key aspect, maybe the key aspect, of the evaluation is to understand a fund's risk exposures. Almost by definition, managers in the go-anywhere space have the leeway to make big bets, which, again by definition, can go bust. Case in point, Fairholm Fund (FAIRX), managed by Bruce Berkowitz. Last year's Morningstar "Manager of the Decade" is down 22% so far this year and trailing 99% of his large-cap value peers (through Sept. 20, 2011) due to the fund's 75% position, a.k.a. big bet, in financial stocks.
So how should you proceed?
- Know and consider how much latitude a portfolio manager has with a go-anywhere strategy.
- Know how concentrated the portfolio can be in a security, sector, and asset class.
- Know the portfolio manager's ultimate objective.
In this space, the importance of qualitative due diligence next to historical portfolio- and returns-based statistical analysis cannot be overstated.
How Do You Fit the Unfittable? Maintaining certain risk exposures in a client's portfolio can be a frustrating exercise even if you use asset-class-specific funds. To be fair, go-anywhere offerings, particularly those of the multi-asset class variety, add to that challenge. For example, PIMCO's Credit Absolute Return Bond fund (PCARX)—a new go-anywhere strategy specific to the fixed income space—can go long or short in any credit worldwide. As a result, important characteristics like credit risk, duration/maturity risk and currency risk are no longer within your control from a total portfolio perspective.
That said, go-anywhere offerings as a group can provide interesting return profiles and fit nicely alongside global macro, managed futures, and commodities strategies from a diversification perspective. In our considered view, the funds work best as alpha satellites that orbit the passive core.
Where, and for Whom, Do These Funds Fit? We understand why go-anywhere funds have gained so much popularity in the current macro- dominated investment cycle. There's much to be said for a strategy that reserves the right to 'zig' with great conviction when others 'zag' with less. That flexibility, however, no matter how thorough the due diligence, creates real challenges from portfolio construction standpoint. To that end, the go-anywhere offerings are probably not for advisors who prefer to strictly control their clients' asset allocation and risk exposures. We believe they make the most sense in a core-satellite framework.

Day's Best: Navy ships getting lasers
They're pretty cool, and they might save American lives.
They're powerful lasers, and the U.S. Navy announced Monday it will put one on a ship, giving the vessel the ability to shoot down enemy drones and disable threatening craft at sea.
Officials said the weapon, which runs on electricity, can fire as long as it has power and for less than $1 dollar per shot. The beam from the device is not visible because it operates in the infrared spectrum.
"Compare that to the hundreds of thousands of dollars it costs to fire a missile, and you can begin to see the merits of this capability," Chief of Naval Research Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder, said in a statement.
The prototype model, estimated to cost up to $32 million to make, will be placed on the USS Ponce, which now serves as a floating base in the Middle East.

Hey guys, this is Dawn with another great lesson for all you Pokemon fans. I've watched several Pokemon movies and episodes, but I haven't really seen this character in it. This character appears to be some sort of canine with very bright colors. I'm guessing that the creature is female. Do any of you know if this creature appeared in a movie or episode of the Pokemon world? If so, please don't be hesitant to let me know! My brother and I love the series. I used to collect lots of Pokemon cards and had stacks of them in my drawers. Ok, I'm probably boring you with nonsense about this stuff, so I'll move on to talk about drawing Suicune. This Pokemon has blue, purple, and greenish white hues that compliment it's elemental type. I believe this critter is of a Crystal descent. It was also featured on the box art for 'Pokemon Crystal'. There's another creature that I've seen while browsing for popular creatures. I plan to make a tutorial of the that particular critter that caught my eye. Anyways, this tutorial took some patience and referencing in order to capture the true essence of Suicune. In this tutorial you will learn "how to draw Suicune step by step. I didn't really like the original colors of her so I wanted to enhance them in Photoshop. I saturated the colors to make the overall image very appealing. To draw Suicune, you must practice the overall character. Draw Suicune's face first so you can get a head start with drawing everything else easily. I always start my drawings off with the basic guidelines for the head and I work my way down as I progress. Well folks, it's time for my move onto my other lessons. I wanted to put this tutorial up for a while so I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting. I'm going to be posting some more drawing videos just incase some of you enjoy those as well. Thanks for viewing and don't forget to rate, comment, and favorite! Have fun.
