Van Persie out for several weeks with ankle injury

LONDON (AP)—Arsenal striker Robin van Persie will be out of action for several weeks after hurting his left ankle in Saturday’s Premier League match against at Blackburn.
The Dutch Football Association says that the forward will miss its European Championship qualifiers cheap nfl jerseys
against San Marino and Finland because he is likely to be out of action for “at least a few weeks.”

Van Nistelrooy recalled for injured Van Persie

AMSTERDAM (AP)—Veteran striker Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to the Netherlands squad for the first time in two years Monday as coach Bert van Marwijk called him up to replace the injured Robin van Persie for two European Championship qualifiers.
Van Persie injured his left ankle on Saturday in Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat of Blackburn Rovers and the Dutch Football Association said Monday he is likely to be out of football jersey
action for “at least a few weeks.”
Van Nistelrooy last played for the Netherlands in the 2008 European Championship quarterfinal, when he scored his country’s only goal in a 3-1 extra-time loss to Russia. Van Nistelrooy has scored 33 goals in 64 appearances for the Netherlands.
The 34-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid player has scored three goals so far this season for his Bundesliga club Hamburg.
He was expected to join the Netherlands’ training camp on Tuesday.
World Cup runner-up the Netherlands plays Group E qualifiers in San Marino on Sept. 2 and against Finland in Rotterdam four days later.
Announcing his squad last Friday, Van Marwijk said Van Nistelrooy could sLions jersey
till play in the Euro 2012 campaign.
“Ruud is already 34 and will be 36 in two years at the European Championship but we will call him up if necessary,” Van Marwijk said.

Favre return has makings for disastrous sequel

At long last, Brett Favre(notes) is back on the practice field, meaning it is once again safe to come outside in the great state of Minnesota. Purple-faced Minnesota Vikings fans can exhale, Brad Childress can stop pulling out what’s left of his hair, and Ryan Longwell(notes) can auction off his black BMW SUV to help feed the homeless – or, better yet, to help his groveling employers pay for the non-materialistic quarterback’s reported contract adjustment. In other words, despite recent insinuations from the Favre News Network to the contrary that some of nfl jerseys us reflexively disregarded – ahem, ahem – it’s all good at Winter Park.
Unless, of course, it isn’t.
For as good as Favre was in his 19th NFL season, and as close as he came to leading the Vikes to their first championship, Part Deux has the potential to be a colossal failure that could send this proud franchise into disarray. And no, I’m not on drugs (unless you count Peet’s iced tea, which perhaps you should).
I’m not trying to suggest that Favre’s second season with the Vikings is inevitably headed for disaster. After all, I was skeptical about the move a year ago, and the future Hall of Famer responded with a brilliant effort that ended just short of a Super Bowl appearance. Favre was clutch, he was redemptive and, even at 40, the future Hall of Famer was one of the league’s best players.
In the end, he was terrifyingly tough, standing tall against a relentless New Orleans Saints pass rush that pummeled him throughout an overtime defeat in last January’s NFC championship game.
How could Favre not want to give it another shot in 2010? How could the Vikings not want an encore?
Here’s the thing about encores, though. Sometimes, they’re kind of flat. Every so often (“Caddyshack II,” “Basic Instinct 2,” “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde”), a sequel is so atrocious that it sullies the memory of Redskins jersey the original and leaves us feeling dubious about everyone who had the misfortune of participating.
That’s what I’m worried about happening with Stick It To Ted 2: It’s Not About The Money.
The warning signs are everywhere. Favre, who’ll turn 41 in October, is coming off what is arguably the best statistical season of a career that includes three MVPs. The law of probability suggests that he’s not likely to replicate it.
A drop-off in and of itself might not be calamitous: After all, the Vikings were a good team before Favre arrived (winning the NFC North in ’08), and they have plenty of elite players (Jared Allen(notes), Adrian Peterson, Kevin Williams(notes), Steve Hutchinson(notes)) who can handle their business and overcome a few errant passes, at least in the short term.
Yet it’s very, very clear that the Vikings will ride or die with Favre. Has any NFL team ever groveled so shamelessly for a superstar’s services, from sending a trio of players (Longwell, Allen, Hutchinson) to Mississippi to try to convince him to return to offering him a reported $3.5 million contract upgrade (and another $3.5 million in incentives) that could raise his 2010 haul to $20 million after he hinted at retirement two weeks ago?
I don’t blame Favre for not wanting to come to training camp, a stance that 99 percent of veterans would adopt if they thought they could get away with it. And I understand why the Vikings, based on last year’s body of work, were cool with him staying away through mid-August once more.
The real problem, however, is the power dynamic – Favre basically does whatever he wants, whenever he wants to do it, and if he gets any resistance he leaks his displeasure to one of his media mainstays and makes his superiors feel insecure.
When the superior in question is Vikings owner Zygi Wilf, this isn’t a huge issue: Wilf can simply throw money at the problem, and given the larger stakes – a last, desperate push for a new stadium in Minnesota looming at season’s end – it’s not necessarily a bad economic decision to do so.
More troublesome is the relationship between the Drama Queen QB and Childress, a head coach who had credibility issues in the locker room before Favre’s arrival and has been progressively disempowered ever since.
Sources close to Favre say that the quarterback is not particularly admiring of Childress’ offensive acumen, especially as it relates to some of the noted strategists (Mike Holmgren, Jon Gruden, Andy Reid) for whom he has played in the past. Surely, this is not a secret in the Minnesota locker room, and you can bet that most Vikings would defer to Favre’s game-planning and play-calling sensibilities in a stare down between the quarterback and coach.
Throw in the fact that Favre clearly has very little respect for Childress’ authority – a situation which, in fairness, was partially created by Wilf, Chilly’s boss – and we’ve got a cauldron ready to boil over.
That’s what happened last December in Charlotte as the Vikings absorbed a 26-7 beating from the Carolina Panthers that dashed their hopes of earning home-field advantage in the NFC. When Childress tried to take Favre out of Titans jersey the game in the fourth quarter, the quarterback pushed back and, remarkably, got his way.
Reports followed that Childress was irate after the game upon learning that Favre had revealed the dispute to reporters (though his angry curses were drowned out by the sound of Packers coach Mike McCarthy’s laughter from hundreds of miles away); that Childress had unsuccessfully tried to bench him in two earlier games; and that the two had clashed repeatedly over Favre’s penchant for changing plays at the line of scrimmage, which speaks to the earlier point about the quarterback’s feelings about his coach’s play-calling chops.
At the time, noting that Childress had gotten a sweet contract extension in mid-November largely on the strength of Favre’s accomplishments to that point, I sided with the quarterback. But it’s a weird place for a journalist to be: Defending blatant insubordination and a superstar’s ability to flaunt his unequaled locker-room clout. At the very least it’s not a healthy environment.
To their credit, the coach and quarterback managed to coexist through that mini-saga and the Vikes got to within a couple of first downs of the Super Bowl. This year, they’ll go up against that very high standard from the start, against opponents who have spent an offseason studying Minnesota’s success last year and trying to mimic the Saints’ rough treatment of Favre in January.
On paper, the Vikes have a tougher path to the Super Bowl this season, beginning with that Thursday night rematch with New Orleans in the Superdome on Sept. 9. In ’09 they faced the downtrodden NFC West teams; this season, they get the NFC East. They also take on AFC East opponents, including road games against the New York Jets and New England Patriots.
What if things get ugly early and Childress feels he needs to make a change, either to give his team a spark and/or to get Favre healthy for a potential stretch run? Good luck with that, Chilly.
Remember, there’s also the matter of The Streak. Can you imagine how Favre would react if Childress tried to end his NFL-record string of consecutive starts – even if the Vikings were already out of playoff contention?
Hopefully, for Favre, Childress and the Vikings, this is just a sports columnist fretting over worst-case scenarios, and none of football jersey this potential drama will ever come into play. Favre is certainly great enough to overcome these obstacles and surprise us once more, and I’m glad he has the guts and competitive spirit to go for it.
When it comes to encores, though, there’s a simple rule that the best entertainers have been preaching since long before pro football existed: Always leave ‘em wanting more.
And I have this sick feeling that by the time the 2010 season is over, we’ll all be saying, No mas.

Players aren’t quick to yield on ‘enhanced season’

In this hi-def era of wretched excess, one replete with manhood-enhancement ads and real-time fantasy stats and a growing sense that the NFL never sleeps, it’s hard to imagine a world in which more football is not universally regarded as a very good thing.
For players and fans alike, embracing the conspicuous push by NFL owners for an “Enhanced Season” would seem to be a no-brainer.
Yet recent statements by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and some of football jerseys the owners who employ him endorsing a switch to an 18-game regular season with just two preseason games – as opposed to the 16-and-4 model that has existed since 1978, or the 14-and-6 (!) version once foist upon the paying customers – have created a backlash among the rank-and-file that many fans find baffling.
So what gives? Wouldn’t the players, who widely regard training-camp practices and preseason games as the vocational equivalent of mind-numbing ethics seminars, rather strap it on for games that count and potentially be compensated accordingly?
The answer, in the end: Probably so. But for now, given the current labor landscape, the players’ mindset can best be described as, Why the hell should we agree to THAT?
As with everything these days in a league that appears headed for a work stoppage following the 2010 season, the Enhanced Season debate must be viewed through the prism of the impending war between the NFL Players Association and the owners hell-bent on browbeating the union into submission.
In other words, you have to look authentic nfl jerseys at the big picture – and I’m not talking about that 60-inch LED in your family room where you set up shop with your chips and dip and beers and fantasy charts on Sundays.
Let’s look at the situation from the players’ perspective: In May of 2008 the owners voted unanimously to opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement two years early, setting up a showdown that will come to a head in the weeks following Super Bowl XLV next February.
All indications are that, on or around March 1 of 2011, the owners will lock out the players and try to leverage a new, more favorable CBA, one in which the players’ 59.6 percent take of adjusted gross revenue will be significantly reduced.
With unprecedented unity among the ranks – not to mention TV deals designed to keep the league’s massive cash flow humming during a potential work stoppage – the owners are in it to win it. One of their primary goals is to shrink the amount of money being divvied up, effectively writing off more of their operating and investment expenses and taking those off the top before splitting up the pie.
If a deal is to be struck – ideally, for fans’ sake, in time to salvage the 2011 season – the obvious solution is to strike a compromise that includes strategies for, um, enhancing the size of the pie.
There are two very obvious means of accomplishing this: Putting an NBA-style cap on rookie wages, and going to an 18-game season.
Both measures, conveniently, are highly popular among the fans, and the players will ultimately sign off on both changes.
They just won’t do it until they’re sitting at a very contentious bargaining table trying to solve a very complicated mess, and they’ll try to use those chips to extract concessions from the other side.
So when superstars like Tom Brady(notes) and Ray Lewis(notes) speak out against enhancement, realize that in addition to voicing valid concerns – implications relating to injury, career longevity and post-football disability – they’re essentially doing some preemptive negotiating.
This, by the way, is a good thing. Just as the owners are stunningly in lockstep on their desire for a better deal, the players are more informed and engaged than I’ve ever seen them, and my sense is they won’t be the pushovers some of nfl throwback jerseys their bosses anticipate that they’ll be come stare down time.
If you’re a football fan, you want both sides to bring their ‘A’ games to the bargaining table and come up with a creative and mutually palatable deal that allows the NFL juggernaut to thrive and evolve and become even more fan friendly.
Players like Brady and Lewis understand that, while the owners’ push for an Enhanced Season might win points now with the fans, a switch to 18 games doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Many of the issues already on the table – limiting offseason workout programs, potentially altering the current training-camp format, even post-career health care (and the three accredited seasons currently required for players to qualify for benefits) – are impacted by the change. As one NFLPA source says, the Enhanced Season “throws a monkey wrench into many of the matters we’re discussing right now.”
The owners realize this, too, which is why their recent statements in support of more football also fall into the realm of preemptive negotiation – or, depending upon one’s perspective, strategic posturing. Certainly, they could push even harder on this front, given a clause in the current CBA allowing them to add two regular-season games without union approval.
Yet the smartest among them understand that to do so would undermine the larger goal of shoving a more favorable deal down the throats of their employees. The Enhanced Season, when rolled out in conjunction with a new CBA, will theoretically help the NFLPA save face by putting a whole lot of new cash into the mix.
When I talked to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Thursday afternoon, he smartly framed the issue in those terms.
“We’re for the 18 games,” he said. “It grows the pie for everybody and is good for our fans. But certainly it’s something we’re interested in nfl throwback jerseys doing in conjunction with the players’ input and consideration. We’ve decided to do it in a cooperative way.”
And they will, right after Jones finishes hosting Super Bowl XLV in his incomparable new stadium, albeit under the most hostile and economically charged atmosphere the sport has seen in two decades.
So breathe easy, football fans – in the end, you’ll get your Enhanced Season. The real question is, will you have to go an entire year without football before the two sides make it a reality?

Ron Brace just sprained his ankle

New England Patriots defensive lineman Ron Brace(notes) has only suffered a sprained ankle after undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging exam Friday, according to the Boston Herald.
The injury isn't reported to be nfl throwback jerseys serious.
Brace recorded seven tackles and a sack against the St. Louis Rams.
The former second-round draft pick from Boston College began camp on the non-football injury list, but was activated earlier this month.
He has been making progress since that point in a backup role behind Gerard Warren.

Roethlisberger to start tonight, Dixon to see action

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger(notes) is set to start tonight against the Denver Broncos, but coach Mike Tomlin indicated that Dennis Dixon(notes) will see action with the first team offense.
"Dennis Dixon has done a great job," Tomlin said. "We thought he was deserving of football jerseys some first-team snaps with our people."
Meanwhile, the regular season opener quarterback plans remain under wraps as Tomlin sees no benefit in letting Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith(notes) in on whether it's going to be Dixon or Byron Leftwich(notes) with Roethlisberger suspended for six to four games for violating the NFL personal conduct policy.
"It's probably beneficial for us to hold our cards, Tomlin said. "Coach Smith does an awesome job in Atlanta. I have a great deal of respect for him. But I'd imagine it's going to be increasingly difficult for him to play us if we don't provide that information for him."

Rodgers, Packers rout Colts

GREEN BAY (AP) — Aaron Rodgers extended his sizzling start to the preseason, throwing three touchdowns before halftime.
The points just kept coming after that for the Green Bay Packers (2-1), who scored six offensive touchdowns and twice on special teams on their way to a 59-24 preseason rout of the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field on Thursday night.
Expectations are high in Green Bay football jersey this season, and Rodgers has shown every indication that he is ready to lead a deep playoff run.
“When we get into a rhythm like we have this preseason on offense, we’re going to be tough to stop,” Rodgers said. “It’s fun.”
For the Colts (0-3), the biggest worry wasn’t the final score.
Running back Joseph Addai left the game in the third quarter with a concussion and linebacker Gary Brackett hurt his right hand. Addai said he “just got a little dizzy” but was fine after that.
“Really, they didn’t do any tests, they didn’t need to,” Addai said. “I was fine. If I needed to go back in, I could’ve.”
Colts coach Jim Caldwell didn’t have an immediate update on injuries, and wasn’t overly concerned about the lopsided final score.
“It wasn’t 59 points against our starters, it was 59 points overall,” Caldwell said.
Rodgers threw for 195 yards in the first half Thursday. In three preseason games, he has completed 77.4 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and no interceptions.
Peyton Manning made plenty of big plays against a porous Packers pass defense early on, but Rodgers was up for an offensive exhibition against one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. Trailing 17-7 early in the second quarter, Rodgers St. Louis Rams jersey rallied the Packers to a 28-17 halftime lead — including a masterful touchdown drive in the two-minute drill just before halftime.
Adding to the injury problems for Indianapolis, cornerback Jacob Lacey left the game with a concussion, offensive tackle Tony Ugoh hurt his toe and defensive tackle Antonio Johnson sustained a groin injury.
“Obviously the score got away at the end, which is certainly possible in the preseason; you’re playing a lot of young guys,” Manning said. “Offensively, some things that we did well, but as with most preseason games, some things that we can certainly improve on.”
Manning threw for 214 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He stayed in the game for one series after halftime, only to have things turn ugly.
Manning was hit and stripped of the ball by outside linebacker Frank Zombo, an undrafted free agent making a bid for a roster spot, and it was scooped up by linebacker Robert Francois — who delivered a hard hit Addai when the running back tried to tackle him, leaving him woozy on the sideline.
The Packers’ offensive and special teams success was tempered by another shaky preseason performance from the first-team defense, although rookie safety Morgan Burnett pounced on a Manning pass for an impressive interception late in the second quarter.
Green Bay’s defense has struggled in its first three preseason games. Defensive coordinator Dom Capers is keeping his scheme fairly vanilla until the games count — although he did dial up pressure at times Thursday — and a few key players are out injured.
Green Bay was without cornerback Al Harris, outside linebacker Clay Matthews, defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins and safety Atari Bigby.
“Defensively, we haven’t played a game yet with all of our players on the field,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “So the continuity is probably not where we’d like it to be right now.”
The Colts played without center Jeff Saturday and tight end Dallas Clark.
Packers running back Ryan Grant got his first extensive preseason action, with mixed results. Grant rushed for 36 yards on eight carries, but lost control of the ball before teammate Scott Wells recovered. Packers backup running back Brandon Jackson lost a fumble.
“We had the ball on the ground too many times,” McCarthy said. “We need to eliminate that from our play.”
Notes: The Packers lost cornerback Super Bowl XLIII jersey Brandon Underwood to a shoulder injury, defensive lineman Jarius Wynn to a concussion and linebacker Desmond Bishop to a hamstring injury. ... Packers TE Jermichael Finley caught 6 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. ... Colts WR Reggie Wayne caught 7 passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. ... Tara Greene, wife of Packers outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene, sang the national anthem.

If they named an MVP of preseason, it would be Aaron Rodgers

If the NFL gets its way, the four-game preseason will soon be a thing of the past. So in one of what is likely the final few summers with four meaningless exhibition games (at full price for the fans), it’s important to step back and take a good nfl jerseys look at just what Aaron Rodgers(notes) is accomplishing in Green Bay.
The quarterback was nearly flawless Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field. Rodgers completed 21 of 29 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns as the Packers bolted to a 28-17 halftime lead.
It wasn’t until he directed a 78-yard, eight-play drive in the final two minutes of the first half that he was satisfied, according to Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette.
“Honestly, I was disappointed until that last drive,” Rodgers said. “I didn’t think we had a great rhythm, but I’m happy the way it ended and glad we got that touchdown. It turned out to be a pretty good half for us.”
The Packers went on to roll the Colts 59-24 as Green Bay’s backups poured it on. Now, they’ll coast through the remainder of the preseason, finishing things off with a game at Kansas City on Thursday.
If the NFL awarded an MVP of San Francisco 49ers jersey preseason, it would surely have to go to Rodgers. He’s completed 41 of 53 passes for 470 yards and six touchdowns. That’s in about four quarters of work. He has not turned the ball over. The Packers’ offense looks like a well-oiled machine getting ready for December, not a unit ready to fire it up for real in just more than two weeks.
“He’s a good player,” Peyton Manning(notes) said afterward. “He had a really good year last year. He’s got a lot of weapons. They really do some things that play to his strengths: his ability to move out of the pocket, throw on the run and throw the ball deep down the field really, really well.”
No one would be surprised if these two teams wind up meeting again in Dallas. Rodgers looks ready to elevate his game and his team to the next level. Starting now.

Security Technologies For Water Utility Infrastructures

The filed of security that many of us in the United States take for granted and do not necessarily ponder on. This important category in our daily lives has certainly witnessed a drastic modernization and restoration in the last couple of years. Although the field of security and security technologies in nfl jersey particular has affected many locations and buildings, protecting utility infrastructures is by far one of the most important facilities that it affects and protects. Has sped to the forefront of the debate. One of the most important infrastructures is water utilities.
The topic of water utility and how it gets into our taps after a long process of filtration and purification is a topic that affects us on a daily basis and affects everyday of our lives, however, it is a topic that the majority of us do not ponder about that much.
Believe it or not, the United States is currently the world leader when it comes to water consumption per capita. with nearly two thousand cubic meters utilized by every American on a yearly basis primarily for drinking along with a wide variety of others uses, from bathing to washing cars and watering lawns.
Nevertheless the water infrastructure is a weak and vulnerable point the many terrorists can easily target and create devastating results on the entire community. subsequent to the invasion of Afghanistan, numerous US military forces brought to light several manuals in terrorist training sites with how information and diagrams explaining how to attack drinking water systems in town centers.
After realizing this dangerous potential the government mandated the infrastructure suppliers to step up their security preparations. By the deployment and instigation of the Bioterrorism Act in about four years ago, the congress was able to mandate water utilities serving more than three thousand individuals to complete a vulnerability evaluation and put in place an emergency response plan that concentrates on deliberate assault of the water system infrastructure.
Securing the Flow of the water
providing service for more than two hundred thousand individuals in the community, the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission (SWSC) deals with a volume of more than thirty seven million gallons per day of water and more than sixty seven million gallons per day of wastewater treatment. And security is a dominant issue.
Subsequent to collecting the water from the Little River in the Western part of the state, water is then filtered and stored in a distribution reservoir at a near by mountain.
Supplying sufficient security posed a number of obstacles. Being in a hard-to-reach site, SWSC wanted remote surveillance, a number of different connections and a scalable system for future modification and development.
Due to the many obstacle of nfl jersey monitoring from a far site, SWSC started searching for a solution that would bridge the data overload gap and sort through data from security sources deployed for protection of such a big goal.
According to the information technologies manager for SWSC undoubtedly there has been more focus and concern in regards to protecting water facilities in a post-9/11 world. Due to the heightened level of concerns, they researched and carried out a new security system that would take advantage of the many technology enhancements over the last few years in improving the network, better convergence potential and camera images.
Modifiable operations
at last SWSC turned to project incorporator Affordable Monitoring Solution for a solution to the surveillance obstacle.
The convergence company recommended the open-standards-based intelligent Security Operations Center (iSOC) platform from DVTel. And indeed, the solution the commission was looking for was present in iSOC's capability to bring a number of security functions together into one, unified interface.
According to the Chief Operating Officer of DVTel, SWSC chose to create a homeland security-type deployment in a remote site, necessitating numerous connection technologies and authorizing a control center from a far location. These types of demands had to be met on budget and with excellent functionality and management.
Through utilizing the ability to use devices from numerous suppliers, the entire platform brings together data from a wide variety of surveillance devices; including video, audio, and access management in addition to various other interfaces.
As soon as the information is uploaded, the Latitude Network Video Management System (NVMS) hub sends the raw information to the proper software module, making intelligence actionable, as an alternative of a mass of disparate data.
The interface of NVMS is rules-based and built off distributed architecture that blends Microsoft's .NET along with open-source Linux in order to enable the system to be particularly modified to best suit end-user desires.
In addition to that, with iSOC's network-based protocols, SWSC had the ability to deploy several different methods of information transmission, as well as VSDL, copper phone lines, fiber-optic technology, LAN and wireless LAN to unite all the cameras covering the reservoir and surrounding access routs.
The interface deploys numbers motion and other sensory notifications, in addition to audio on a number of the cameras, so operators can directly speak to potential intruders. Without a doubt, iSOC incorporation with the intercom utility is an added advantage. Security personnel can interact in real time with any intruders and give warnings or simply make contact to let the intruder know they are currently being observed and recorded.
All of the observation work and utilization of the platform is conducted at an operations center which is located more than eight miles away from the distribution tank, with makes it a self-contained interface that needs no onsite personnel or direct human intervention. As soon as a security risk is sensed, the monitoring system notifies the security personnel, who then travel to the reservoir and examines the situation.
And despite the fact that the commission currently provides strong security to a major water quantity, there are copious features that SWSC can utilize in the future to take advantage of iSOC's systems.
The COO of DVTel also pointed out that the iSOC interfaces make it a lot easier to accommodate more cameras and expansion of intercom features. In addition to that, the new iSOC version now has seamless unification with highly developed, IP-based access management. In addition to that, there is a growing amount of sophisticated video analytics components that the commission could deploy as an attempt to improve surveillance and management of video and other incoming information.
All of these security technologies and more can be utilized and exploited to their fullest in order to help in making our water facilities a lot safer and secure for our communities. The integration and convergence of various security technologies is also a key factor in enhancing the standard of nfl jerseys security products, their available features, and customer benefit and satisfaction. These, much needed, integrations and convergences will ultimately benefit the entire community through combating crime rates, illegal activities, security breaches, and possible attacks by potential terrorists.
By taking the time and the money to invest in these security technologies, companies and governmental institutions will actually be saving money in the long run since these utilities will eventually pay for their own price through preventing possible breaches that could cost the facility thousands of dollars not to mention the possibility of the loss of human life.

Help Protect Your Website From Spam

It is often noticed that the greed of the SEO companies or the webmasters to get better ranking in a short time often result in spamming the site. Now the question is what is spamming? Almost all the Internet users are perhaps aware of the tem spam. In general cases it is thought of nfl jersey as sending unsolicited, shay emails to harass people and clog the servers. But in relation to Search Engine Optimization it is something more than that.

How to Use RSS Feeds

RSS refers to Really Simple Syndication which is actually a format that allows a publisher to get updated content on their website or blog with little effort. Sometimes, RSS is also known as Rich Site Summary. Feed formats used in updating web content include news headlines, blog nfl jersey posts, audio clips and videos.

Most of you have seen those little buttons on websites labeled RSS or XML. If you are wondering what they are, RSS means Really Simple Syndication. Really simple because when you subscribe to a site that has this aspect, you keep up-to-date alongside new data without having to check the site every day. This is actually acceptable news because you can use it to get newsfeeds from major news networks, news on new movies, even your favorite musician's trip dates or CD releases.

Podcasting is one of the newer aspects developed in the Web 2.0 world — and unique in its own way, because it is strongly linked with hardware development. In fact, the early days of podcasting involved Apple's iPod so extensively that the technique got its name from it.

When you set up your page, you will already have a couple of text modules and an rss module and some other modules for Flickr ect. You do not need Flickr for optimization. Delete all the other modules that are not listed here, unless you want to keep the guestbook module. You may need to delete the rss and guestbook modules if there are not enough text modules on the lens to get them in the right order.

ABCs Of RSS Feeds

Implementing RSS (Really Simple Syndication) can be aided by an understanding of the terms relating to RSS. Learn the ABCs of RSS....
A - AutoDiscovery
Auto Discovery is code that is inserted into the header of nfl jersey an HTML web page, which then indicates to readers that an RSS feed is available for the content.
B - Blogs
Blogs are web logs that are updated regularly, usually on a daily basis. Blogs generally contain information related to a specific topic. In some cases, blogs are used as daily diaries about people's personal lives, political views, or even as social commentaries. The truth of the matter is that blogs can be shaped into whatever the author wants them to be. While initially thought of as diaries or online journals, blogs have evolved into the latest fresh web content.
C - Cache
Cache is a temporary storage area for frequently-accessed or recently-accessed data. Having certain data stored in a cache area speeds up the operation of the computer. Using a cache with RSS feeds will help minimize bandwidth and display an RSS feed's content quicker.
D - Display
RSS Many webmasters post the content of an RSS feed on their website. They use either PHP, ASP, or javascript for such purposes. If done properly, the feed's content will dynamically update as the content of the feed changes.
E - Elements
Within an RSS feed, there are various feed elements. The elements of an RSS feed are defined by tags.
F - Filter
Many RSS feeds contain duplicate or similar content. Publishers can filter RSS feeds so that they only see content that they wish to see, by filtering out duplicate postings.
G - GUID
GUID stands for Globally Unique IDentifier. The RSS specification strongly suggests that each RSS feed item have a unique GUID. If you are creating feeds, a GUID is important because GUIDs are often used by feed readers and aggregators to determine if a feed item is new or simply an existing item that has been updated. Each item in the RSS feed should have a unique GUID.
H - HTML
HTML, which is the acronym for HyperText Markup Language, is frequently used to design websites.
I - iTunes Namespace
The iTunes Namespace allows the user to add the information necessary to have a podcast listed on the Apple iTunes Music Store (ITMS).
J - JavaScript
Javascript can be used to display the content of an RSS feed.
K - Keywords
Keywords should be integrated into the RSS feed to help search engines determine what the RSS feed is about.
L - Links
Links are used to direct RSS readers to the original webpage containing information that directly relates to the feed.
M - Mashup
A mashup is a combination of football jerseys multiple RSS feeds that have been merged together to create a new, single feed.
N - Namespace Extensions
The RSS specification allows you to create and use your own custom elements (tags) in any RSS feed by declaring your own namespace. Doing this is 100% in line with the RSS specification and the feed will validate. However, you should have a specific and well-planned reason to do so. No RSS readers, or other RSS processing applications, will be able to use your custom info for any purpose. Adding elements (tags) would typically be used only in an in-house situation where both the writing application and the reading application have prior knowledge of the new tags.
O - OPML
OPML, or Outline Processor Markup Language, is a file format standard that can be used to exchange subscription lists between programs. OPML is used as a standard to import or export groups of RSS feed subscriptions. OPML was initially designed by Radio UserLand as a file format for outlines. The purpose of this format is to provide a way to exchange information between outliners and Internet services. OPML has since been adopted for other uses, the most common being to exchange lists of RSS feeds between RSS aggregators. OPML is an open format, allowing other services to extend the format. While OPML was not initially designed as a vehicle to share RSS feeds, it has become the de facto standard. OPML, like RSS, is based on RSS, and because of the similarities, those familiar with RSS have embraced OPML as a way to share RSS feed collections
P - Podcasting
Podcasting is online audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed. Many people equate podcasting to radio on demand. However, in reality, podcasting gives the listener far more options than radio does, in terms of content and programming. In addition, podcast listeners can determine their own time and the place for listening, meaning they decide what programming they want to receive, and when they want to listen to it. Listeners can retain audio archives to listen to later, at their leisure. While blogs have turned many bloggers into journalists, podcasting has the potential to turn podcasters into radio personalities.
Q - Query
Webmasters can create RSS feeds based on search queries for their websites.
R - RSS
RSS is a standard format for syndicating content on the Internet. The content can be anything! Information contained in an RSS feed is often syndicated on other sites, which expands its reach. Website visitors love RSS because they choose which feeds they wish to subscribe to. If at any point they are unhappy with the content contained in the RSS feed, they simply unsubscribe and no longer receive notification of feed updates. RSS is really a win-win for both subscribers and publishers. In order to get a better understanding of how RSS works, download an RSS reader or use a web aggregator and subscribe to an RSS feed (they are usually indicated by a small orange icon).
S - Syndication
Syndication is the supply of material for reuse and integration with other material.
T - Template
Many webmasters use templates to layout the contents of their RSS feed and make it match there website.
U - URL
URLs can be embedded into the description of the RSS feed items, so that when the feed is syndicated, the content originator gains backlinks.
V- Validate
Feed validation is important. If a feed is not properly formed, it will not always be valid for reading.
W - Website
Updates RSS feeds can be set up to notify visitors when a website changes.
X - XML
RSS is a subset of XML, or eXtensible Markup Language.
Y - Yahoo Answers
Yahoo's interactive system of questions and answers can be tracked using RSS feeds. You can create keyword or category feeds for anything in Yahoo Answers.
Z - Zero Feeds

If your business is online with a website, then you can include what is called an 'opt-in form'. This is a little form where some one can enter their name and email address, and 'sign up' for your emails. This is them giving you permission to send them emails.
Another way to get permission is to actually ask them. If you have a brick and mortar business, when the customer is in your store and is paying for their purchases, simply asking them if they'd like to be added to your email list will work.

You should be able to successfully register your domain name for $10 and under per year. You can register your domain for as long as you see fit, but it is always advisable to make a long term commitment and buy a domain name for at least 5 years.0

I would suggest only buying a domain that consists of nfl throwback jerseysletters even though numbers and hyphens are allowed. By using more characters, a mixture of letters, numbers and hyphens, you make your domain to become hard to remember. Thus, you may possibly be pointing potential clients to competitors with similar domain names. You are allowed up to 67 characters when buying domain names, but you really should keep it short. The shorter the domain name, the easier to remember.
One other way to buy domain names is to resell it in future. Not always are you buying a domain name to benefit your company, you may want to check into buying domains to resell and make a profit.

Here are a couple tips for buying cheap domain names for resell
1. Research before registering the domain name
2. Look to buy domain names that are going to be easily related to markets that you can turn around and sell easily

Domain Registration Explained

Since most businesses have a desire to have a web site, the first step is finding a Domain Name and then registering that name. Picking an available domain name can be easy, but what tends to confuse first time users is the registration process. There are a number of nfl jerseydomain name registration services out there that can help make this process virtually pain free. With a little knowledge, and patience domain name registration can be an easy process.

When starting the process you may come across many terms that may not make sense to you. A couple of key terms are Nameserver and Whois that you will need to be aware of.

Nameservers actually are web hosting companies that host the account where your domain name will belong or point towards. Each domain name must have an IP address. When servers have IP addresses they can actually hold multiple domain names with shared hosting. Without this, your domain name wouldn't be found on the internet.

What is Whois?

The owner of the domain name is what is considered Whois. When you register your domain name, you will need to provide information that will distinguish you the owner. You may need to keep privacy in mind when providing this information.
Here is a short list of things you will need to do to register your domain name and the steps to do so.0

1. List of Domain Names - By having a list of multiple domain names, it is easier to select an
available domain name from the list ensuring that one will not be already taken. Most sites have a built in tool to allow for cross checking if the domain name is already taken. Pick your domain name and purchase. You are on your way!

3. Payment Methods - Many companies allow you to use a check or money order, but the fastest payment method is paying with a credit or debit card. Make sure this is a secure transaction!

4. Contact information - Keep your privacy at bay, but make sure you have a valid email address for correspondence.

By having valid contact information, you should hear back from the registrar within 24-48 hours. If for some reason your registration doesn't succeed, it may be due to someone else registering the same name at the same time frame as you did.
