SEO Is Not Dead And Will Never Die [Infographic] ? ? Internet ...
Neal Cabage is only the most recent writer to use the words ?SEO is dead? in a headline. His article joins a long line of other articles and even a tongue-in-cheek website dedicated to the topic; see here, here, here, and here. There are also many well-worded refutations of the idea that SEO is dead, of which Danny Sullivan?s 2009 post is a prime example. Most articles with that headline or a variation thereof are actually writers trying to stir up some controversy so they can then explain why SEO in fact is not dead. Whatever the reason, the phrase has become clich? and tired, and I say that with this post, let us never see the words ?SEO? and ?dead? in a headline ever again. Let?s move on. But first, this final explanation of why SEO is not dead, and will never die.
SEO, an acronym for search engine optimization, is broadly defined as including any activity or set of activities designed to get business from the organic or natural search results in a search engine. If you change the title tag on your homepage in the hope it will cause your website to rank better on Google, you?re doing SEO. If you add a blog to your website because you heard Google likes content, and you blog every week because you hope this will get your website ranking higher for more terms, you?re doing SEO. If you convince a friend who works at a reputable online publication to write an article about your company and link to your company?s website, you?re doing SEO.
There are ways to get business from search engines that are not generally defined as having anything to do with SEO. Google and other search engines sell ad space alongside their organic search results, and buying these ads is not SEO, although the information gained from running these ad campaigns can often be beneficial to one?s SEO efforts.
What could kill SEO?
SEO will die only as soon as the search engine dies. As long as there are search engines people will figure out how search engines work in order to get business from them. We might talk about the end of search as we know it, or how content marketing is changing what SEO is, that SEO and public relations are merging, or that use of the acronym SEO will die out and instead we?ll make those activities formally known as SEO part of a larger group of activities that we?ll call ?online marketing? or ?web marketing? or something fancier sounding. The fact remains we?ll still be performing activities designed to get business from the natural search results in search engines, and therefore SEO will be alive and kickin?.
Why claim SEO is dead?
If SEO will never die, then why do people claim it?s dead, or even bring up the matter in the first place? As they say, follow the money. Sure, go ahead, lump me in the group of those trolling for traffic by using the phrase. But somebody?s got to put an end to this, and I can?t very well do that without mentioning what I?m trying to put an end to.
Perhaps nothing will do as good a job of putting a final nail in the coffin of the ?SEO is dead? mantra as spreading the painfully accurate ?Death of SEO? infographic provided by SEO Book (see below). And now, let us never speak of this again.

SEC football schedules: Alabama has 3rd easiest and Auburn 2nd hardest since 1992
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Understand this about SEC football schedules: There is no formula for perfect balance. There will always be inequities filled with good luck and bad luck since every team doesn't play each other.
In the 21-year history of the SEC's eight-game format, Alabama possesses the third-easiest conference schedule and Auburn has the second hardest, according to an AL.com analysis of opponents' SEC records. The easiest schedule belongs to Florida, which has the most SEC titles since the conference championship game started, and the hardest belongs to Vanderbilt.
"Nobody ever said it's supposed to be fair," said South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, a frequent critic of SEC scheduling. "We all know last year Georgia did not play the top three on the Western side: Alabama, LSU or Texas A&M. But a lot of people don't know Alabama didn't play the top three on the Eastern side -- us, Florida and Georgia. So those are the two that won the divisions. Scheduling. Pepper Rodgers (a former college football coach) at one time said a coach is as good as his players and his schedule."
How important is scheduling? That's what AL.com attempted to quantify in analyzing the league schedules for every SEC team since 1992, when eight conference games started across the board to usher in the SEC Championship Game.
Evaluating schedules can be subjective so AL.com kept the criteria simple. Who did a team play each season? What were those opponents' SEC records each year? And what are each teams' opponents' total SEC winning percentage since 1992?
SEC Football Schedules Since 1992
| Team | Opponents' SEC win % | Games vs. Vandy/KY | Games vs. SEC's 6 Best Teams | Division Titles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | .469 | 42 | 83 | 10 |
| Georgia | .471 | 42 | 75 | 5 |
| Alabama | .483 | 20 | 75 | 8 |
| Tennessee | .485 | 42 | 77 | 5 |
| Ole Miss | .496 | 29 | 90 | 0 |
| Mississippi State | .498 | 27 | 84 | 1 |
| LSU | .511 | 20 | 77 | 5 |
| South Carolina | .512 | 42 | 84 | 1 |
| Kentucky | .514 | 21 | 89 | 0 |
| Arkansas | .522 | 13 | 91 | 3 |
| Auburn | .528 | 15 | 83 | 4 |
| Vanderbilt | .539 | 21 | 92 | 0 |
How teams were originally slotted into divisions naturally plays a big factor in these results. Playing Kentucky and Vanderbilt every year is usually a nice treat for SEC East teams.
Who teams play annually from the opposite division has a significant impact, too. For the first 11 years of the eight-game schedule, when teams played two permanent cross-divisional opponents, Auburn drew Florida annually while Alabama faced Vanderbilt.
And, of course, the cyclical nature of college football success plays a role. When Georgia went 11-20-1 in SEC games from 1993 to '96, Auburn benefitted by playing the Bulldogs annually while Alabama played a more difficult Tennessee team on the verge of a national championship. These days, the Vols are down and Georgia is up, an advantage for Alabama.
Florida has played the easiest schedule since 1992, with its opponents owning a .469 SEC winning percentage over those years. Close behind the Gators are Georgia (.471) and Alabama (.483).
Vanderbilt, which naturally can't enjoy the benefits of playing itself, has faced the hardest schedule (.539). Auburn has the second-toughest schedule (.528), followed by Arkansas (.522).
"There will be some years when you'd have a favorable schedule just based on what the situation is in that particular year and how the rotation gets set up," SEC Executive Associate Commissioner Mark Womack said. "Those things are cyclical. If you do a 12-year schedule, strengths and weaknesses are going to change over that 12-year period."
The SEC is trying to determine how it wants to schedule beyond the next couple years. Fixed cross-division games occur because Alabama-Tennessee and Florida-Georgia games preserve SEC tradition.?
But since the SEC went from 12 to 14 teams and stayed at eight games, the fixed opponent can now become even more of an advantage or disadvantage. LSU wants to eliminate the permanent opponent since it plays Florida every year.
Other findings of the AL.com study of SEC schedules:
* Last year, Alabama and Georgia played the first SEC Championship Game in which both participants avoided the top three teams from the opposite division. The opponents for Alabama and Georgia each had a combined .375 SEC winning percentage, tied for the third-easiest schedules ever by SEC division winners.
* Six of the eight easiest paths to Atlanta have occurred since 2008. Georgia's road in 2011 was the easiest ever (.313 opponents' SEC winning percentage), slightly ahead of Mississippi State's schedule in 1998 (.328).
* Nine SEC division winners had opponents who finished with a combined SEC record of .500 or greater. That's happened only twice within the past nine years: South Carolina and Auburn, both in 2010.
* Eighteen of the 21 SEC West champions played a cross-division game against Vanderbilt and/or Kentucky, who are the weakest SEC members since 1992. Only Auburn 1997, LSU 2003 and Alabama 2012 reached Atlanta without playing either Vanderbilt or Kentucky.
* Arkansas and Auburn have played Vanderbilt and Kentucky the fewest number of combined times at 13 and 15 games, respectively. In the West, the most games against Vanderbilt and Kentucky belong to Ole Miss (29) and Mississippi State (27).
* When the SEC expanded in 1992, the six teams with the best historical records were split up -- Alabama, Auburn and LSU to the West, and Florida, Tennessee and Georgia to the East. Alabama and Georgia have played the fewest games since 1992 against fellow "Big 6" teams with 75 each; Auburn and Florida have played the most with 83 each.
* Since 1992, Alabama has played more games against Vanderbilt (14) than Florida and Georgia combined (12). Auburn, which plays Georgia annually and used to have an annual series against Florida, has faced the Bulldogs and Gators a total of 35 times.
* Florida and LSU, who are annual cross-division opponents, have both been ranked in the Top 25 in nine of their past 10 meetings. Here are the number of times both teams were ranked in other annual cross-division games over the past decade: Auburn-Georgia, four out of 10; Alabama-Tennessee, one out of 10; and Arkansas-South Carolina, one out of 10.
* SEC division champions are nearly as likely to lose at home (22 times) than on the road (23). Florida has the most wins over a division champion (nine), followed by Auburn and Tennessee (seven each). Vanderbilt and SEC newcomer Missouri are the only schools that haven't beaten an opponent in a year it wins a division title.

The Old Stoic by Emily Bront? | Poets.org - Enumclaw Courier-Herald
The Old Stoic
?
Riches I hold in light esteem,
And Love I laugh to scorn;
And lust of fame was but a dream,
That vanished with the morn:
?
And if I pray, the only prayer
That moves my lips for me
Is, "Leave the heart that now I bear,
And give me liberty!"
?
Yes, as my swift days near their goal:
'Tis all that I implore;
In life and death a chainless soul,
With courage to endure.
?
About This Poem
"The Old Stoic" appeared in a volume of poetry compiled by the Bront? sisters--Charlotte, Emily, and Anne--and published in 1846. They wrote under masculine pseudonyms based on their real initials, calling their book Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.Emily Bront? was born on July 30, 1818, in Thornton, England. She is best known for her only novel Wuthering Heights, widely considered one of the greatest in the English language.?Bront? died in 1848.

Ambush kills 7 UN peacekeepers in Sudan's Darfur
CAIRO (AP) ? Gunmen ambushed a United Nations peacekeeping team Saturday in Sudan's western region of Darfur, killing seven Tanzanians and wounding another 17 people in the deadliest ever single attack on the international force in the country, U.N. officials said.
The assault by a large group of gunmen included sustained heavy fire from machine guns and possibly rocket-propelled grenades, targeting the force some 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of the town of Khor Abeche, U.N. forces spokesman Chris Cycmanick said. Reinforcements later arrived to rescue the wounded, who included two female police advisers, the force said in a statement.
A statement late Saturday on behalf of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon identified the dead as all being from Tanzania. About 40 countries have contributed military personnel or police to the peacekeeping force.
The statement said Ban condemned the "heinous attack" and offered condolences to the families of the dead. The statement said it was the third attack on U.N. forces in the region in the last three weeks.
Ban "expects that the government of Sudan will take swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice," the statement read.
Officials with the Sudanese government could not be immediately reached for comment.
Peacekeepers have been targeted by assailants in the past in the region since the international force began its work there in 2008. In the last fatal attack, gunmen shot dead a Nigerian peacekeeper in April in East Darfur State. Before Saturday's attack, 150 people associated with the U.N. mission had been killed while on duty in the region, according to the force's website.
The joint African Union-U.N. peacekeeping force, dubbed UNAMID, was established to protect civilians in Darfur, but also contributes to security for those providing humanitarian aid, verifying agreements, political reconciliation efforts and promoting human rights. It has about 16,500 troops and military observers and over 5,000 international police.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the assault Saturday. Tribal clashes remain common in the region and some former government militias have begun taking up arms again as fighting continues over land and resources.
A February report by a U.N. panel of experts said that some armed opposition groups angry about the presence of peacekeepers have called the force "a legitimate target."
"On occasion, this discontent has also manifested itself in incidents of direct attacks on UNAMID staff and premises, although some of these incidents ? especially those of carjacking and kidnapping of UNAMID peacekeepers ? appear to have an overtly criminal intent of financial gain for the perpetrators," the report said.
Darfur has been gripped by bloodshed since 2003 when rebels took up arms against the government in Khartoum. More than 300,000 people have been killed in the conflict. The International Criminal Court indicted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir in 2009 on genocide and war crimes charges over the fighting in Darfur. The country split into Sudan and South Sudan in 2011.
Unrest continues in the region. About 300,000 people have fled fighting throughout Darfur in the first five months of this year, the U.N. has said.
"The mission condemns in the strongest possible terms those responsible for this heinous attack on our peacekeepers," said Mohamed Ibn Chambas, a joint special representative of the force. "The perpetrators should be on notice that they will be pursued for this crime and gross violation of international humanitarian law."
More than 100 U.N. peacekeepers were killed last year alone on duty in the Darfur and Abyei regions of Sudan, Congo, Ivory Coast and other countries. Eight more civilian contractors, such as pilots, also died on deployment with peacekeeping missions in 2012.

Iran says investors should not pass up oil investment
Big News Network.com Saturday 13th July, 2013
Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi has urged foreign oil traders and investors not to lose the opportunity of making investments in Iran's lucrative oil and gas industry.
At an international conference, hosted by the Munich Security Conference Foundation, he met with Iranian and German oil managers and economic activists to outline the potential for investors in the Islamic Republic's oil, gas and energy sectors.
"Although sanctions have created some problems for Iran, they have failed to stop the development of the nation's oil industry," he said.
Qasemi told the conference: "Despite the West's unjust sanctions, Iran's oil industry has followed its development trend well, and we are going to achieve complete self-sufficiency in various upstream, midstream and downstream industries by seizing the opportunities that the West's sanctions have created for us."
He called on foreign economic enterprises to seize the opportunity to become involved in various sectors of Iran's oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
At the beginning of 2012, the United States and the European Union imposed fresh sanctions on Iran's oil and financial sectors aimed at preventing other countries from purchasing Iranian oil and conducting transactions with the Central Bank of Iran.
The sanctions came into force in early summer 2012.
The sanctions were imposed based on accusations that Iran is pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program.
Iran has rejected the allegation, arguing that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

88% The Way, Way Back
All Critics (69) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (60) | Rotten (8)
The Way Way Back gets it wittily, thrillingly right. It turns the familiar into something bracingly fresh and funny. It makes you laugh, then breaks your heart.
Part of what makes Way, Way Back so engaging are the terrific performances.
It's likely there will be many wet eyes in the theater as the screen goes to black.
You don't see too many movies about the importance of fathers, and they're rarely done this well.
The film is awash in safe choices, from indie-pop-accompanied montages to sitcom one-liners and black-and-white characters.
A coming-of-age drama that manages some genuinely surprising turns despite the formulaic road it travels.
It's certainly a pleasant picture with a bright attitude and production textures that could only emerge from experience. It simply doesn't have anything new to add the crowded coming of age subgenre.
Writer-performers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, imbue the characters around them with three-dimensional qualities that give the movie its enormous appeal.
Refreshing coming-of-age tale a joy for teens and up.
Sam Rockwell deserves consideration for a Best Supporting Actor nomination --- he is that good.
Faxon, Rash, and their exceptionally capable cast have managed, with a story that is specific enough to feel new but universal enough to hit home.
a perceptive, incisive film about people at different points in their lives struggling or drowning
With a double dose of Rockwell - Norman and Sam - it's a picture-perfect portrait of what summer - and summer movies - ought to be.
There is a lot going on in "The Way, Way Back" and these stories are intelligently told.
You basically get to live vicariously through a kid who becomes Sam Rockwell's best pal, and I promise, that's all you've ever wanted, even if you don't know it yet.
It has its charms, most notably in Rockwell's wise-cracking put-on artist, but it never goes for anything really deep as 2009's similarly themed "Adventureland" did, while taking a few missteps along the way.
A sunny wonder that effortlessly out-classes such floundering box-office behemoths as The Lone Ranger and White House Down.
Warm, engaging, and thoroughly charming even though we can predict every turn in this old-fashioned coming of age story. Carell is terrific as an unlikable bully.
The Way, Way Back only really gets interesting when Carell enters the frame and introduces an unconventional villain into this entirely too-conventional coming-of-age scenario.

$12 billion in aid for Egypt only temporary boost
CAIRO (AP) ? A promise of $12 billion in aid from wealthy Arab Gulf nations would give Egypt's new military-backed leadership breathing room by paying for vital food and fuel imports. But the benefits would be only temporary, because Egypt's broken economy remains unrepaired.
More than two years of political turmoil, violence and deterioration in security have frightened away tourists and foreign investors. Just as harmful, badly structured subsidies on food and fuel eat up almost a third of Egypt's strained budget.
The most recent round of violence, when more than 50 supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi died in clashes with the military on Monday, is likely to ripple through the economy, spreading doubts over the new leadership's ability to provide stability.
A key demand among millions of people who demonstrated against Morsi was better living conditions. Little improved when he took office a year ago, after poverty, rampant corruption and crony capitalism propelled millions to join the youth-led uprising against President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
Morsi inherited critical economic problems, and the economy deteriorated further under his one-year rule. The Egyptian currency lost more than 10 percent of its value against the dollar this year, unemployment rose to 13 percent and his government relied on handouts from sympathetic neighboring countries to survive.
This reinforced the impression that Morsi was incapable of governing, according to economic rights expert Amr Adly.
Now Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, longtime critics of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, are stepping up to back his replacements.
The $12 billion in aid, a mix of grants, cash deposits and oil and gas products, will likely be used by the incoming government to try to avert another gas and electricity shortage like the one just before Morsi's ouster nearly two weeks ago.
On Wednesday, Kuwait announced its offer of $4 billion ? a $2 billion cash deposit, a $1 billion grant and $1 billion worth of oil products.
A day before, the UAE announced its $3 billion aid package to Egypt, $1 billion of which is a grant and $2 billion of which is a no-interest loan.
Regional powerhouse Saudi Arabia weighed in with the largest aid package ? $5 billion, made up of $2 billion to be deposited in Egypt's central bank, $2 billion worth of oil and gas and $1 billion as a grant.
The $7 billion flowing directly into Egypt's central bank is needed to keep foreign reserves from plunging further, after the bank warned they had already reached a "critical level." Reserves stood at just $14.9 billion at the end of last month, less than half of what they were before the political upheaval that began in 2011.
The changes also mean that the tiny but influential Gulf state of Qatar has been sidelined after it showered Morsi's government with around $8 billion in aid over the course of the past year. Qatar is a key backer of the Brotherhood in the region.
Ashraf Swelam, an economist and senior advisor to former presidential candidate Amr Moussa, warned that the billions of dollars in assistance may help Egypt stay afloat for only about six months. That's when parliamentary elections are scheduled, according to a timetable drawn up by the interim president.
"The aid is not enough to cover the financial gap," he said. "The importance of it is that it provides Egypt's economy with a lifeline."
Swelam said the aid is important for Hazem el-Beblawi, the country's newly named prime minister who is also a French-educated economist, because it gives him "breathing space to maneuver" while paying Egypt's debts, subsidies and government salaries for a while.
However, the caretaker government will not likely be able to introduce needed changes to the economy, since it has neither an election mandate nor much time to implement reforms.
Egypt's interim president has promised parliamentary and presidential elections early next year. But the timetable could be derailed by unrest or credible threats that voting could make economic matters even worse.
The Muslim Brotherhood rejected the transition plan, charging it "confirms that those who carried out the coup, the dictator generals, don't respect the will of the people." Refusing to take part in the new government, the Brotherhood has instead called for an uprising against the military.
The rush by some Gulf countries to aid Egypt also reflects key regional support for the military in its power struggle against Morsi's Brotherhood.
The Saudi king praised the military's move, and Anwar Gargash, the UAE's minister of state for foreign affairs, wrote in a commentary posted on Foreign Policy's website that "the rejection by Egyptians of their Islamist government marks a turning point ? not only for that country, but for the entire Middle East."
According to Mohsin Khan, a senior fellow at the Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East at the Atlantic Council in Washington, the money from Gulf nations is aimed at keeping Egypt from collapsing.
"It will not go to improving the economy, but to keep it from being worse. This money is essentially going to shore up the foreign currency reserves," he said. "It will not be used to get Egypt out of the economic downturn it is in. At best in can just stabilize the economy temporarily."
The political quagmire means Egypt is also further away than ever from securing a $4.8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund. The IMF requires political consensus in the absence of an elected government before signing on to the loan. Morsi's Brotherhood is unlikely to back any initiative by a new government, while liberals have long complained the IMF deal comes with too many conditions.
Khan, who was also head of the Middle East department at the IMF, said that while Gulf aid has surpassed what the IMF could offer Cairo, it fails to send positive signals about Egypt to investors who can create jobs for long-term economic recovery.
"This money from the Gulf countries is viewed by everyone in the market as politically motivated and will not have any impact on foreign investors," he said.

The Issue Tree Structure of Expressed Thought | The Scholarly Kitchen
Tree in California (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This article is about my research into the structure of what we say when we write or speak. Many years ago, while teaching a course on technology and public policy at Carnegie Mellon, I discovered a logical form that underlies the discussion of complex issues. This logical form had a branching structure so I called it the ?issue tree.?
Since then I have done a lot of research on issue trees, as well as using diagrams of them to help my clients deal with complex issues. Knowing that issue trees exist whenever we talk or write can be helpful so I will explain the basics here. For those who want to know more I have a crude little textbook on it that I wrote for my own classroom use, entitled ?Issue Analysis: an introduction to the use of issue trees and the nature of complex reasoning.? Also, I have already presented the issue tree in a Kitchen article as a model of scientific progress and looking at that graphic may help one understand what I am about to say.
The basic pattern of the issue tree is quite simple. An issue begins when a statement is made (or a question is asked). There can be several immediate responses. The discovery was that statements made in response are answering questions of the initial statement, questions that are typically unspoken. These unspoken questions define precise relations between the statements.
As discussion continues more statements are made, each answering an unspoken question of some specific prior statement. Thus there is a precise branching structure underlying everything that is said. Much follows from this. Note that these component statements may be made by a single person or document or by many, all at once or spread over a long period of time.
By way of example,?here is a link to the issue tree underlying the fine print in an automobile loan contract. The textbook has more examples, however it is mostly about how to draw issue tree diagrams. Note that the issue tree and the issue tree diagram are two different things, just as roads and roadmaps are. The issue tree is there when we talk and write, individually or collectively over time, whether we see it or not. This is not just a diagramming technique; rather it is a basic fact about human discourse.
There are some well known indicators that expressed thought has a branching structure. The outline, for example, and the nesting of blog comments are both tree structures. There are also various so-called ?mind mapping? techniques. My discovery is that this structure is precise, well defined and universal.
Actually it is not quite this simple because sometimes a statement will refer to a body of prior statements rather that a single one, but that is an advanced topic. The real question is, how is this useful to know?
First and foremost is the fact that when we talk and write we are articulating complex and sophisticated structures, even in the most mundane cases. We are constantly deciding which sentences to respond to and which unspoken questions of those sentences to answer. I start my textbook with a seemingly silly minor argument just to make this point. We are not just piling on statements; rather we are creating systems of ideas.
While the combination of unspoken questions being answered can be a complex structure, the questions themselves are typically very simple. They frequently include the famous who, what, where, when, why and how, as well as ?such as? (which is asking for an example) and ?what evidence?. If there is disagreement, they will also include objections and replies. The questions are not really there, mind you, unless they are expressly asked; they just represent the specific relations between the statements being made.
Then there is what I call the ?jumping problem,? which is a major source of confusion in human communication. Speaking and writing are both linear in the sense that one sentence comes after another, but they are expressing a branching tree structure. The problem is that there is no way to put each sentence directly after the sentence it is linked to and building on. Graphically this means that we are forced to jump around in the issue tree and sometimes these jumps are quite large. The reader or listener must then make the connection back to the prior sentence and this can be difficult, hence the potential for confusion. The jumping problem is discussed in the textbook.
Knowing the issue tree is there creates a new science of sorts because there are a lot of structural features that can be counted and measured in human discourse. These include rates of branching, the allocation of attention to different sub-issues, or to different question types, as well as patterns of jumping. For example meetings tend to have very low branching rates, because it is hard to get back to prior statements. Thus meetings may not be a good way to explore complex issues. Many of the items in my taxonomy of confusions are based on issue tree features.
Issue tree diagrams can be useful in articulating or dealing with complex issues. They have been used to deal with various sorts of issues including strategic planning, decision making, policy and regulatory analysis, litigation, contracting, and system design. But it is important just to know the structure is there whenever you talk, write, read or listen.
On an historical note I first presented the issue tree in a conference on philosophy of technology at the University of Illinois in Chicago Circle in 1973. The proceedings were finally published in 1979 as ?The History and Philosophy of Technology,? edited by Bugliarello and Doner, University of Illinois Press. Mine is Chapter 14 entitled ?The Structure of Technological Revolutions.? By that time I had left academia for the world of issue analysis and management consulting, but I have continued the research as well.

Chinese researcher pleads guilty in Wis. drug case
MILWAUKEE (AP) ? A Chinese scientist accused of stealing a research drug from a Wisconsin medical school and planning to pass it off as his own pleaded guilty Wednesday to a reduced charge of illegally accessing a computer.
Hua Jun Zhao was accused of stealing three vials of a possible cancer-fighting drug from the Medical College of Wisconsin in February. Prosecutors said he also downloaded academic research in the hopes of claiming sole credit for it in China.
Zhao, 41, initially pleaded not guilty to tampering with a private computer and lying to a federal agent. An additional charge of economic espionage was dropped but prosecutors maintained the right to renew it with a future indictment.
Instead, as part of a plea deal, Zhao pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of accessing a computer without authorization, thereby obtaining information worth at least $5,000. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine and will be sentenced next month.
Defense attorney Michelle Jacobs declined to comment as she left the courtroom.
An interpreter translated the proceedings into Mandarin for Zhao, who told the judge in English he'd only been speaking English for a few years. He wore orange prison pants and a short-sleeve orange prison shirt, and his ankles were shackled.
The computer charge arose from allegations that Zhao, after being confronted about the missing compound, accessed school computers remotely and deleted files related to research on the drug. The college was able to recover the files. Zhao denied accessing the server or deleting files and said he didn't understand the FBI agents' questions due to a language barrier, according to a criminal complaint.
School researchers were studying whether the drug compound could help kill cancer cells without damaging healthy ones. The compound is still in early stages of research and has not advanced to clinical testing.
The lead researcher noticed Feb. 22 that three vials of the compound were missing. School security video showed that Zhao was the only person who entered the researcher's office that day.
Federal investigators questioned him about the vials five days later, but Zhao claimed he didn't understand their questions, the complaint said. The school immediately placed him on administrative leave.
Federal authorities later searched Zhao's home and found a receipt for shipment of a package to Zhao's wife in China. They also found two airline tickets for a flight from Chicago to China leaving in five days.
Agents also found an application to the National Natural Science Foundation of China seeking research funding for C-25. In the application, Zhao wrote in Mandarin that he discovered the compound himself and was seeking funding to continue his research in China.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Ingraham, who prosecuted the case, said the missing vials haven't been found. When asked why the plea deal didn't include a theft charge, the prosecutor said it reflected terms that both sides could agree on.
He also said the reason the more serious charge of economic espionage wasn't renewed was because things change in the course of an investigation.
"As you gather facts your view of the situation can change," Ingraham said.
John Raymond Sr., the medical school's president, said the college didn't object to the plea agreement.

University Of Aberdeen Speeds Up Future Research with Dell
?
?
- University of Aberdeen consolidates research computing systems into one central environment for simplified management and increased compute power
- High Performance Computer cluster supports improved collaboration across research departments
- Improved scalability allows University to plan for future research projects
The University of Aberdeen has introduced a new high performance computer (HPC) cluster from Dell to consolidate and help simplify the management of individual department research IT systems. This new infrastructure will encourage cross-discipline collaboration with the ultimate goal of generating fresh research ideas and creating new opportunities for scientific breakthrough.
The University of Aberdeen has a strong legacy of pioneering research and has four principal interdisciplinary focus themes: Energy, The North, Environment & Food Security and Pathways to Healthy Living. To expand its research potential and drive standards higher than ever before, the University needed an IT system that would offer compute power to support large amounts of data and complex simulations.
Dr Brian Robertson, Head of Infrastructure Management, University of Aberdeen comments: ?Our main aim of the project is to free researchers from the burden of system management and provide a computational service backed by a dedicated team of IT professionals. Researchers will have more time to carry out their research rather than dealing with more mundane administrative issues. The new cluster will also open up potential for research projects across departments and encourage more collaboration to spark new and exciting opportunities.?
The new HPC cluster, named ?Maxwell? after the eminent Scottish physicist, was implemented with the help of Dell and Alces Software to consolidate all research computing systems used across the University?s many departments. This meant decommissioning its existing disparate clusters, some of which were nearing end of life, and moving the workloads onto one central cluster that is managed by a dedicated IT team who are on hand to help the researchers utilise the HPC as efficiently and cost effectively as possible and enables different departments to analyse large volumes of data much faster than the previous set-up.
Maxwell is built on PowerEdge C6220 servers, PowerVault MD3200 and MD1200 storage as well as PowerConnect 6248 networking switches, providing a very scalable environment which allows academics from all departments to run a variety of computational work in a unified environment. The scalability of the HPC is vital for the University as it looks to increase the amount of research carried out at the institution, relying on the new system to continue to support growth into the future.
Quotes
?As a university that is known for its outstanding research, is it vital that we have top class IT systems which can cope with rapidly growing volumes of data and increasing complexity of computational tasks. Through our work with Dell and Alces Software, we have introduced an HPC environment that offers the level of compute power needed to analyse data much faster than was previously possible.? - Dr Brian Robertson, Head of Infrastructure Management, University of Aberdeen.
?Successful research and innovation are the lifeblood of our UK economy, and Dell is thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the University of Aberdeen to design a cost effective high performance computing environment, focused on helping the University?s Research teams with both their computational analysis and cost effectively managing the associated research data for future use. We look forward to supporting this environment and the University?s research community going forward. This customer-centric approach is something that we?re very proud of ? the right IT solution is essential to helping Universities, other Public Sector bodies and companies of all sizes and sectors grow and be successful.? ? Claire Vyvyan, general manager & executive director, Public Sector, Dell UK.

Car bomb rocks Hezbollah stronghold in Lebanon
BEIRUT (AP) ? A powerful car bomb exploded in a Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday, wounding at least 53 people in the most troubling sign yet that Syria's civil war is beginning to consume its smaller neighbor.
The blast in the heart of the Shiite militant group's bastion of support raised the worrying specter of Lebanon being pulled into the violent Sunni-Shiite struggle in the region, with sectarian killings similar to those plaguing Syria and Iraq.
The Syrian conflict, now in its third year, is whipping up sectarian fervor. Sunni-Shiite tensions have risen sharply, particularly since Hezbollah raised its profile by openly fighting alongside President Bashar Assad's forces. Lebanese Sunnis support the rebels fighting to topple Assad.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, there have been growing fears in Lebanon that Hezbollah could face retaliation for its now overt role fighting alongside Assad's troops. The group's fighters played a key role in a recent regime victory to retake control of the strategic town of Qusair, near the Lebanese border, where rebels held sway for more than a year. Syrian activists say Hezbollah fighters are now aiding a regime offensive in the besieged city of Homs.
Syria-based rebels and militant Islamist groups have threatened to target Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon in retaliation.
The U.N. Security Council strongly condemned the terrorist attack, underlined the need to bring the perpetrators to justice, and appealed to the Lebanese people "to preserve national unity in the face of attempts to undermine the country's stability."
The car bomb struck a bustling commercial and residential neighborhood in Beir el-Abed, an area of particularly strong Hezbollah support, as many Lebanese Shiites began observing the holy month of Ramadan. The blast went off in a parking lot near the Islamic Coop, a supermarket usually packed with shoppers.
"The explosion was so strong I thought it was an Israeli air raid," said Mohammad al-Zein, who lives near the blast site. "My wife was sleeping in bed and all the glass fell on her, injuring her in the mouth, arms and legs."
Beir el-Abed is only few hundred yards (meters) from what is known as Hezbollah's "security square," where many of the party's officials live and have offices. It was heavily bombed by Israeli warplanes during the monthlong war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.
The area, where Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah once received dignitaries before the 2006 war, was completely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. He has since gone underground, only rarely appearing in public and never for more than few minutes, fearing Israeli assassination.
Tuesday's attack inflamed long-simmering tensions in Lebanon, where deadly clashes between Shiites and Sunnis have grown increasingly common as the civil war in Syria has taken on ever darker sectarian overtones. Some Sunnis in Lebanon, many of whom support Syria's rebels, have expressed resentment over what they see as Hezbollah's unchecked power in the country.
The anger was clear among residents of Dahyeh, Hezbollah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs. At the scene of the explosion, some cursed Sunni politicians and Syrian rebels, calling them Israeli agents.
With smoke still hanging in the air, about 100 outraged Hezbollah supporters stormed through the area, carrying posters of Nasrallah and chanting sectarian slogans.
"Shiite blood is boiling!" they shouted as dozens of Hezbollah operatives wearing red caps and holding radios kept watch.
At one point, the Hezbollah agents fired in the air to disperse protesters pelting the interior minister with stones after he inspected the scene of the blast, trapping him for 45 minutes in a building before he was escorted through a backdoor.
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel is seen by some Shiites as sympathetic to hard-line Sunni cleric Ahmad al-Assir, who has agitated against Hezbollah for months and is now on the run.
Clashes between al-Assir's supporters and Lebanese army troops last month in the coastal city of Sidon further increased sectarian tensions in the country.
"We, the sons of Imam Hussein, have been targeted for 1,400 years," said Abbas Kobeissi, a 32-year-old barber being treated for head wounds from flying glass after Tuesday's blast. He referred to the grandson of Islam's Prophet Muhammad, a key figure in Shiite Islam whose death in the 7th century increased divisions between Sunnis and Shiites.
"History is repeating itself," Kobeissi added. "This is a message to Dahyeh. They (Hezbollah) think this will make people rise against the resistance."
Tuesday's explosion was one of the biggest in the capital's southern suburbs since the end of Lebanon's 15-year civil war in 1990, and a major breach of a tightly controlled, high security area.
"It is a large area, heavily populated. No force in the world can protect every area and every street," Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Moqdad said.
The breach raised questions about the group's ability to control the anger it helped unleash through its involvement in the Syrian civil war. At the same time, Lebanese Sunni groups have also joined the fight alongside Syria's rebels, offering logistic and other support.
"Both sides, Hezbollah and Sunni fighters, are directly involved in the Syrian conflict and it's becoming increasingly clear that it's impossible to keep the fighting there away from Lebanon," said Ayham Kamel, a Middle East analyst at the Eurasia Group in London.
"The Syrian conflict has put Hezbollah in a tough spot, with limited choices for its leader Hassan Nasrallah to pursue," he said. "There is a regional Sunni-Shiite confrontation going on in Syria and that puts pressure on all parties in Lebanon, including Hezbollah."
Syria's civil war is increasingly being fought along sectarian lines, with Sunnis dominating the rebel ranks fighting Assad's regime, which is composed mostly of Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. The fighting has threatened the stability of Syria's neighbors ? including Iraq, where a recent surge in car bombings have targeted Shiite areas.
Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said 53 people were wounded in Tuesday's blast, which shattered windows and damaged several buildings in the busy area. A security official said the bomb was placed in a car and weighed 35 kilograms (70 pounds).
At least one Syria-based Islamist brigade claimed responsibility for the attack on its Facebook page, but its authenticity could not be verified. The Syrian National Coalition, the main Western-backed Syrian opposition group, denounced "in the strongest terms the terrorist explosion."
"Targeting civilians is a criminal act that goes against the aims of the (Syrian) revolution and its principles," it said in a statement.
Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Ammar blamed "Israel and its tools in the region" for the attack. Hezbollah, like the Syrian regime, refers to those fighting to topple Assad as agents of Israel and the U.S.
The European Union condemned the Beirut bombing, calling it an "appalling act of violence (that) underlines the need for all Lebanese to maintain their national unity."
Television footage from the scene revived memories of the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war when car bombs set by sectarian groups were common. There have been numerous car bombs targeting politicians and journalists since then, but random car bombings have been rare.
In May, two rockets struck the Hezbollah stronghold, wounding four people hours after Nasrallah vowed in a speech to help propel Assad to victory. In June, a rocket slammed into the same area, causing no casualties.
"A further destabilization of Lebanon's security is now very likely," said Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Center.
"Another line has been crossed," he said, "but the result will likely be a further hardening of the stances held by Hezbollah and its increasingly confident Sunni militant adversaries."

University of Colorado Denver
Infants who get their first solid food before 4 months of age and after 6 months may have a higher risk of developing Type 1 diabetes, University of Colorado researchers have found.
The researchers, from the Colorado School of Public Health and the CU School of Medicine's Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, also found that the risk goes down if the mother is still breast-feeding the baby when solid foods, particularly those containing wheat or barley, are introduced into the diet.
The results were unveiled Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association publication JAMA Pediatrics.
"For children who are introduced to solid food before four months of age, the risk of developing Type 1 diabetes is almost two times higher than for children introduced to solid foods at 4 or 5 months of age," says Jill Norris, MPH, PhD, chair of the Department of Epidemiology for the public health school.
The findings align with the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics on when to begin solid foods.
The research, supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, looked at Colorado children with an increased genetic risk for Type 1 diabetes. Researchers noted when the children began on solid food, what foods they ate and whether they developed Type 1 diabetes.
"The data suggest that parents should wait to introduce any solid foods until after the 4-month birthday," Norris, one of the authors of the study, says. "And when baby is ready, solid foods should be introduced by the 6-month birthday or soon after, preferably while the mother is still breast-feeding the baby, which may reduce the risk of Type 1 diabetes."
Norris said more research should be conducted to explore another finding of the study that kids may have a greater risk of Type 1 diabetes if they are given their first fruits before four months or first eat rice and oats after six months.
The incidence of Type 1 diabetes is growing worldwide, especially among children less than five years old.
