Data Don?t Matter? Academic Research and School Choice?Excerpt Part Deux
2008-07-12 12:38:00 An initial assessment of any study?s potential contribution to policy should begin with three questions: What is being studied? Why is it expected to work? How is program performance assessed (286)? Why do some expect that providing an exit option will improve education generally? ? Does choice somehow affect teaching, learning, ...

Hard Drive Encryption Vs. Hard Drive Pulverization: It?s A Matter Of Data A
2008-06-06 07:02:00 And what type of resting you?re looking for your data: eternal or not. (What a terrible play on words. Thank God I wasn?t an English major; they might rescind my diploma.) Anyhow, this may be a good time to explore some alternatives to data protection solutions like full disk encryption. The montereyherald.com has an article describing how certain businesses have decided to pulverize their computers? hard drives in order to comply with HIPAA, SarbOx, and FACTA, as well as any other federal regulations governing privacy regulations. The companies in question literally pulverize the hard drives, and generally takes them less than thirty seconds per drive to crush them. In fact, the ?pulverizers? (I like the sound of this) will bring their equipment around and ground the disks to a fine powder right in front of you. I imagine the reason would be two?fold for this: It?s a great show, I?ll bet, which helps to spread the service?s availability v...
Does age really matter?
2008-06-05 18:10:00 Obviously not in Hollywood. Here are the facts. Billy Joel is 59 years old and is married to his bride Katie Lee 27 years old. Wow it is almost like he could be her father. They have been married now for three years and Billy says age doesn’t matter if she would have been 30 years older he would still have married her, when it works it just works. I don’t know about that, I think instead of going out and buying a cool new car, he got himself a cool new gal. The next victim is Ashley Madison, 22 years old. She is married to freaky James Woods at 61 years of age. Ashley is almost 40 years his junior. We all know he has a history of dating younger women but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. James says she takes care of everything, oh yeah, I bet she does. I am sure she can do circles around him. Who is next? Sexy Kim Cattrall from Sex and the City. This should not be shocking as we know Kim loves men…any size, any color, any shape, and obviously any age. Kim is...

Links Matter More on the Mobile Web
2008-06-03 23:12:00 Natural Search and Mobile SEO Blog – It?s true that there?s currently very little cross-linking on the mobile Web. This is often cited by those who argue that linking is relatively unimportant in mobile SEO. However, it seems to me just the opposite conclusion should be reached from the understanding of this fact: that a user would defy convention and link to a mobile site from a mobile site is a stronger signal of quality than a link from a desktop web site. It?s clear from the mobile search engine results pages (SERPs) that ... read more

The Tooth of the Matter: Brushing Kitty's Teeth
2008-05-23 18:07:00 This is Blanche...she's never had her teeth brushed. She's 15 and I can tell that she may be having some tooth problems - after she eats, she sort of does this imaginary chewy-thing from side to side, so I believe she's got some dental issues. I'm freezing some Greenie tartar treats as I write so I can get her to do some serious crunching. Judging by this photo, she may have even lost a tooth.In my day (I sound like I'm 90), the idea of putting a tooth-brush anywhere near your cat was unheard of! The cats were outdoors all day, not allowed on furniture and locked up in the basement at night.Our (very fortunate) cats are indoors, fully-clawed, go where they please and take up half the bed at night, but we've never brushed their teeth. Now people are buying meat-flavoured pastes and starting when their pets are only kittens. We bought the paste and the tiny brush, but the cats just laughed behind their paws. They did like the taste of the paste, but when it came time to...
Broussard : Size Does Matter
2008-05-23 17:37:00 Let me start by saying I like Broussard, his speed is real (unlike Matt Jones'), he can catch, and he's competitive. The Jags had to keep him on the roster last year because his quickness wouldn't have been overlooked and he'd have been picked up off waivers. However, that most likely won't be the case this year. He showed his lack of size was an issue last season by going out and getting injured late in the year and finishing on IR. According to the Jags' coaches, he was easily rerouted on press coverage and hasn't learned enough techniques to make up for his lack of size in the NFL. John Broussard can't block... Period... He has been able to mitigate this problem's affect on his play time with his deep speed. His speed has forced one more defensive player to stay out of the "box" and account for him deep. In a run-first team, if you can't do something to help the run game, you're toast, and luckily for him, his speed made up for his inabili...

Does size matter to women
2008-05-21 22:18:00 A question that still remains after all these years? Does penis size matter to women? Now no matter how this question is answered men will always be self conscious about the size of their penis. I guess in a way that women are self conscious about their weight. Although most women agree that size matters, that doesn't exactly mean that they expect you whip out Dirk Diggler. Studies show that women believe that they are more sexually satisfied by men with longer penises than short dick men. Every woman has her own preferences, Some women like a man long and thin? Some women like men short with a lot of girth .. Some women like em BIG as hell The biggest I have been with measured at 13 ½ inches on hard?.

Does Size Really Matter?
2008-05-21 00:00:00 We've used wind as an energy source for a long time. The Babylonians and Chinese were using it to pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before that. Wind power was used in the Middle Ages to grind corn, which is where the term 'windmill' comes from. Although wind currently produces just over 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for approximately 5-20% of electricity production in some European countries.

Little Things Matter
2008-05-14 11:30:00 I've heard quite a bit lately from women stating that their significant others don't do enough for them in terms of the little things.Women want little things done for them. Women want to know that after all this time their significant others still care. If the guy doesn't follow through, well the woman will end up feeling taken for granted, and that is never good. Here are some simple ways to keep that spark alive with little gestures.*Send an e-card...yes for no reason.*Send a random text/call throughout the day just to say hi. Better yet, send it after they go to bed so they have something nice to wake up to in the morning.*Plan a date, tell your significant other how to dress, and don't tell her where you're taking her.*Say "You're beautiful" or something along those lines, and say it out of nowhere.*Pick up a little item for her*Make an effort to do something she likes, even if you don't like it.*Tell your friends how great your girlfriend is.

Does PageRank Really Matter?
2008-05-13 11:41:00 I came across a good post from Digitalpoint, and I think that is a good post to explain the relationship between PR (PageRank) and SERP. So, let's enjoy it.Does PR really matters? Is SERP is everything? Is PR only good for link selling? Is buying links right? Or is selling links wrong? Can I gain any advantage with PR against my competitor? Can PR actually help me with anything at all if I am not selling/buying links?In my opinion it really.... depends on your own ethics and needs as a webmaster and your purpose for the site overall. As for me, I don't buy or sell links, never did and never will cause according to me it is unnecessary and I believe in my own capabilities to be linked to by others.In my honest opinion:a) PR does matter, and it matters quite a lot. Why would it matter? How can I prove that? It matters when you search for the most competitive terms and only the ones with good PR turns up in SERP's first page. PR matters when you want reputation of a site not only in...
