Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football franchise that plays in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL). They are headquartered in Valley Ranch in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The team plays its home games at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, within the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, which finished construction in time for the 2009 season.^[1] The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team.^[2] The team's national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive home sell-outs. The Cowboys' streak of 160 sold-out regular and post-season games began in 1990, and included 79 straight sellouts at their former home, Texas Stadium, and 81 straight sell-outs on the road.^[3] The franchise shares the record for most Super Bowl appearances (8) with the Pittsburgh Steelers, corresponding to most NFC championships (8).^[4] The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 consecutive winning seasons (1966–1985), in which they only missed the playoffs twice (1974 and 1984), an NFL record that remains unchallenged.
An article from Forbes Magazine, dated September 2, 2009, lists the Cowboys as the highest valued sports franchise in the history of the United States, and second in the world (behind Manchester United of the English Premier League), with an estimated value of approximately $1.65 billion.^[5] They are also the wealthiest team in the NFL, generating almost $269 million in annual revenue.^[6]

2000 – present

Defensive coordinator Dave Campo was promoted to head coach, but he could only post three consecutive 5–11 seasons. Many fans and media were beginning to blame Jerry Jones for the team's ills, noting that he refused to hire a strong coach or general manager, preferring to hire coaches who did not want to be involved with personnel duties so that Jones himself, as GM, could manage them. Jones then lured Bill Parcells out of retirement to coach the Cowboys. The Cowboys became the surprise team of the 2003 season, posting a 10–6 record and a playoff berth by having the best overall defense in the NFL. The Cowboys then finished an up-and-down 2006 season with a 9–7 record and a playoff appearance, but after a last second loss in the wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks, Parcells retired and was succeeded by Wade Phillips.^[7] In his first season as head coach, Phillips and his coaching staff led the franchise to its best seasonal start ever, a conference-best 13–3 record, and the franchise's 16th NFC East championship title, the most of any team in that division.^[8] The Cowboys were eliminated by the (eventual Super Bowl Champion) Giants in the divisional round of the playoffs, the first NFC No. 1 seed to do so since the 1990 playoff re-alignment.
In the tumultuous 2008 season, the Cowboys started off strong, going 3–0 for the second straight year, en route to a 4–1 start. However, things soon went downhill from there, as quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken pinkie in an overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. With Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger playing as backups, Dallas went 1–2 during a three-game stretch. Romo's return showed promise, as Dallas went 3–0. However, injuries mounted during the season with the team losing several starters for the year, such as Kyle Kosier, Felix Jones, safety Roy Williams and punter Mat McBriar, and several other starters playing with injuries.^[9] Entering December, the 8–4 Cowboys underperformed, finishing 1–3. They failed to make the playoffs after losing at Philadelphia in the final regular season game which saw the Eagles reach the playoffs instead.
On May 2, 2009, the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility collapsed during a wind storm. The collapse left twelve Cowboys players and coaches injured. The most serious injuries were special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, who suffered fractured cervical vertebrae and had surgery to stabilize fractured vertebrae in his neck, and Rich Behm, the team's 33-year-old scouting assistant, who was permanently paralyzed from the waist down after his spine was severed.
The 2009 season started on a positive with a road win against Tampa Bay, but fortunes quickly changed as Dallas fell to a 2–2 start. In week five, with starting wide receiver Roy Williams sidelined by injury, receiver Miles Austin got his first start of the season and had a record setting day (250 yards receiving and 2 TDs) to help lead Dallas to an overtime win over Kansas City. Following their bye week, Dallas went on a three game winning streak including wins over Atlanta and NFC East division rival Philadelphia. Despite entering December with a record of 8–3, Dallas lost its slim grip on 1st place in the division with losses to the New York Giants and San Diego. Talks of past December collapses resurfaced, and another collapse in 2009 seemed validated. However, the Dallas team surged in the final three weeks of the season with a 24–17 victory at the Superdome, ending New Orleans' previously unbeaten season in week 15. For the first time in franchise history, Dallas posted back-to-back shutouts when they beat division rivals Washington (17–0) and Philadelphia (24–0) to end the season. In the process, the Cowboys clinched their second NFC East title in three years as well as the third seed in the NFC Playoffs. Six days later, in the wild-card round of the playoffs, Dallas played the Eagles in a rematch of week 17. The Cowboys defeated the Eagles for the first Cowboys' post-season win since the 1996 season, ending a streak of six consecutive NFL post-season losses. Dallas ended their playoff run after a hard divisional playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
After beginning the 2010 season at 1–7, Phillips was fired as head coach and was replaced by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett as the interim head coach.^[10] The Cowboys finished the season 6–10.

Top Google Searches in 2012: The Most Popular Keywords Study v3

"Sex" is NOT the most searched

In late 2010, we studied for the second time, the “Most Popular Keywords” searched on the Internet.  We gathered from as many sources as we could to a base of phrases and added even more than we had from the original attempt at finding the top searches online.
We realized in the second attempt of the keywords study, that adult keywords were NOT the most sought after online.  In the original study, we made the conclusion that “adult” or “sex” keywords were the most searched because the number of phrases in the top 100 that were related to those adult topics made up a majority of the phrases.  It also made sense from a “Maslow’s hierarchy of needs” perspective.  In the privacy of our homes, you might think most of physiological and safety needs are met.  So, we migrate to the love and belonging part of the hierarchy & we might start typing in phrases like  ”porn” or “xxx” while surfing the Internet more easily.
However, there is another number to consider when evaluating what people are searching on the Internet and in that second attempt in 2010, we concluded the volume of each of the terms should be considered.  This year as well, we are giving that much more weight.  So, we’ll summarize below the top categories within the top 100.  After having close to 18 months to think about the 3rd attempt at this study, we believe we’ve been able to create an even better list here for the Top Google Searches in 2012.  Also, we’ll explain our methodology on how we drew up the list at the bottom, but for your immediate edification, here’s the list of the top 100 MOST searched phrases online:

The #1 through #25 Most Searched Words on Google:

This year’s top 25 Keywords were made up of many of the 2010′s top 25.  However, the major differences to this top quartile were:

• the volume significantly grew with many of the phrases; For example, our top phrase “facebook” almost doubled in volume from 1.68 billion a month exact searches a month to over 3 billion searches a month
• we had several new phrases that are newer ways of searching for the top topics like facebook.  ”fb” became a familiar way of searching for the top social media website and ranked #7 with approximately 185 million monthly searches for the easy acronym.
• and probably the most apparent change this year that we found to enter the list was the discovery of trending “new websites” that might become new social media powerhouses like Facebook did in 2010.  In particular, our #21 ranked phrase “tuenti” is a new social media that’s come out of nowhere based on the European continent.

The #26 through #50 Most Searched Words on Google:

In the second quartile of the top searches online, we found the European continent starting to catch on fire in terms of building websites that are garnering many, many searches.

• #26 could almost be equated as France’s version of Craigslist along with #50 being Turkey’s top classifieds website
• gaming continues to grow in popularity not only in the U.S., but throughout the world.  #36 is a big games website in Spain it appears along with #49 serving the Portuguese community which means not only Portugal, but also Brasil which is definitely becoming very active online.
• #41 is an interesting search showing us that the government even knows how to build an online presence or one that many people who are either going to school or taking care of kids who are.

The #51 through #75 Most Searched Words on Google:

The 3rd group of top 25 searched phrases had many of last year’s terms like the 1st quartile:

• “chatroulette” was not only a past trend, but continued to be a very high volume search
• “espn” dropped from the #38 search to #56 despite growing about 50% in search volume per month exhibiting a larger variety of phrases entering the top 100
• “netflix” more than doubled, but dropped a couple positions in terms of ranking

A few new additions:

• “milliyet” (a popular newspaper in Turkey)
• “meteo” searches are showing the Europeans are just as interested in the weather as most in the world
• “red tube” & “cam4″ – another adult property

The #76 through #100 Most Searched Words on Google:

Apple still  is popular despite the lack of “iPhone” phrases in the top 100.  You can see with the #85th phrase that people may be more interested in the company or their main website to find details about the iPhone or other products.  #97 as well shows their iTunes app is still popular as well.  The first instance of an “iPhone” phrase was just outside the top 100 at #103.  ”iPhone 5″ was searched 11,100,000 times a month which shows one small problem of our study or possibly the Google’s Keyword Tool.  Since most of the numbers are all estimates, we wont’ be able to truly define the difference between the 21 phrases that are searched 11.1 million times a month.
Speaking of those phrases, the ones that weren’t listed here are:

• linkedin
• www.google.com
• iphone 5
• porn hub
• game
• translator
• samsung
• mail.ru
• odnoklassniki.ru

Also, a major difference between the last time we did the study and now (in 2012) is that #100 had 3.35 million searches a month, but now the threshhold for #100 is around 11.1 million searches a month.

Top Search Types

As mentioned earlier, we determined that actually people are more interested in topics other than adult phrases online.  In this year’s version of the study, we classify the type of searches that are made in the top 100. So, you’ll see an even more defined category than what we were thinking previously.  We used to think in terms of “top websites”, “adult websites” and “top brands”, but we’ve realized that EVERYone’s searching for websites for the most part and so we need to categorize the “type” of website they’re looking for.  Even though there are MANY different permutations of adult phrases being sought after online, we do see that many people are busy being “social.”  Then again, maybe the adult content surfers don’t want google to know they’re searching and they bookmark them instead?

Methodology
We almost want to make the warning of “do not try this at home” since it’s consistently time consuming to put this study together.  Fortunately, we’ve had experience already in carrying out the first and second attempts at this study.  For this year, we took the previous results and added the following to the mix:

• Instead of just looking through all the sources for “top keywords”, we entered the phrase in the Google Keyword tool and manually filtered a list of the top 5 phrases that were similar to what we believe we were going to generate with this study.  The top 5 phrases were:
• “top google searches” – the results were a mix of mainly google trends & zeitgeist along with summaries of 2011′s zeitgeist’s results
• “top searches” – more google sites were in the top 10 results, yahoo’s buzz index and relatively irrelevant results
• “most searched words” – again a mixture of the aforementioned
• “top keywords” – probably the most relevant list of sources for the study (possibly why we focused on this in version 2)
• “most popular keywords” – again more irrelevant results including a random list on a website that didn’t even identify how the list was pulled together
• We scoured all the listings in all the searches and decided to use our original list PLUS the following we felt were pertinent for the study:
• 500 phrases from Mike’s Marketing Tools – which had many of our past phrases & shows up in a lot of the SERPs above, but you could tell the list isn’t so perfect like the 1st two phrases both being the same: “keywords”
• Selected lists from Google’s 2011 Zeitgeist
• Phrases pulled from many of the lists in AOL’s Hot Searches
• Wordtracker’s Top Long Term Search Phrases
• All the main lists within Google Insights for Search
• The top 100 Global Brands
• The random list mentioned earlier (just in case)
• And Alexa’s Top 100 Websites
• And shoved the ten’s of thousands of phrases through Google Adword’s Keyword Tool with the settings changed to All Locations (defaults to the U.S.) and Include Adult Ideas to make sure it doesn’t filter out any results
• We deduped the results, sorted them and categorized the top 100
• We kept the raw data including the:
• 15,600+ results that had 100 or more searches per month
• 13,450+ results that had 1000 or more searches per month
• 7580+ results that had 12,100 or more searches per month
• 3170+ results that had 110,000 or more searches per month
• 850+ results that had 1 million or more searches per month
• and the 230+ results that had 5 million or more searches per month
• And we plan on potentially dissecting the data even more when we can find the time.  We might even be able to place other topics and ideas that may continue to add to the list.  Feel free to comment as well if you think there are other phrases you know of that should be in the list.

**We are definitely available to do keyword research like this or any specific vertical or area since we really enjoy doing this.  Feel free to contact us via the contact page.  We hope you enjoyed!

Protect your FB Account from Hackers

inShare

A friend of mine logged into her account yesterday after 2 weeks of being off facebook, and was devastated to see that she had shared pornographic images with friends and family; I had a good laugh about it, but she was madd... After seeing an outburst of facebook accounts being hacked, including lots of my friends accounts, i have decided to share some knowledge on things you can do to reduce the risk of your facebook account being hacked. So there are several things you can do to protect your account from being hacked, we will go through each one of them in detail here, and how to implement each one.

1. The first and most important thing you can do to protect your account is to use a VERY STRONG password. Facebook allows and advises passwords to be a combination Upper and Lower case letters, numbers and other characters. People use common words, etc because they are easy to remember, so i'm not telling you not to use common words and forget your password after 1 day. However, if we use a combination of common words and dates and maybe patterns, we can thereby create a strong password. Take an example: Say I like cricket and use cricket India in my password, and my date of birth is 2011-10-15th. A strong password would be a combination of these, and maybe putting in uppercase somewhere there, so we can have a password like "Cricket_2011-10-15_India". That there is a very strong password, yet very easy to remember. Note: This is not my password, so don't go trying it.
2. The second thing that we are going to do is to enable security facebook has already implemented for you. One of the things that lots of people don't know is that facebook provides many ways that will help to make your account more secure, however they don't publicize this feature, and i really cant say why this is so.
So, lets get to securing your account; on the facebook menu bar at the top to the far right there is a little arrow, when you click on it, there is a nice dropdown there. From that dropdown, select "Account settings" and this will take you to a page with your account settings.

When on the Account Settings page, there is a menu on the left of your screen, Click on the Security tab from that menu, and you will be taken to a page looking like this:

On this page you would want to Enable Secure browsing. Enabling Secure browsing means that from now on you will be browsing facebook over a Secure Internet Connection. Secure Connections can reduce the risk of successful hacking attacks by over 90% (More on secure connections at: http://cleverlogic.net/articles/secure-socket-layer-overview). Another thing you can do here is to enable and setup Recognized Devices, this would tell facebook to only allow your computer and mobile phone to use your account, any other device connecting to your account would need to enter a Security code that you will setup in this process.
3. STOP Using open Wi-Fi networks, open Wi-Fi networks are those that are not password protected. When Wi-Fi networks are open like this, anyone on the network can view all data that is being transferred over this network. They can use simple methods and steal your password or session information, and use this to gain access to your account. A tutorial demonstrating the simplicity of this attack can be found here: http://cleverlogic.net/tutorials/session-hijacking-facebook-accounts
4. Another way you can protect yourself from hackers is by logging out of your account when you are finished using facebook. Doing this will help block hackers, though it will be a bit complex for me to explain why here. However, just to share: hackers widely use an attack called Session Hijacking, and doing this can help prevent this attack. More on session hijacking can be found here: http://cleverlogic.net/tutorials/session-hijacking-0
So these are basically some of the ways we can help to protect our facebook accounts from hackers, some of these methods can also be used to prevent other accounts. I Hope this article has been helpful to you guys, If you have any comments, suggestions or anything to add to the article, please post it in the comments section below.

Battery Not charging

Akhir2x banyak pertanyaan masuk mengenai “Battery Not charging”, memang tidak bisa di generalisasi dalam menentukan suatu permasalahan, karena tiap laptop memiliki karakter masing2x, tergantung cara orang menggunakan, kualitas komponen, dan target market dari pabrik apakah medium / low.
Ada beberapa permasalahannya kami pernah kami ketemukan :
Untuk model adaptor yang ada jarumnya di tengah, seri dell latitude, dan beberapa compaq cq series memang hal ini jadi masalah cukup significant, lebih sering permasalahan tersebut muncul untuk tipe adaptor tsb. Ternyata kedua merk tersebut melakukan data checking melalui pin tersebut. Itu untuk mengurangi penggunaan adaptor kompatibel atau non original.
Permasalahan yang lain adalah battery telah melakukan “self protection”, hal tersebut terkadang karena “overheat” / kepanasan, “current spike” / terjadi lonjakan arus secara mendadak, “voltage spike” / terjadi lonjakan tegangan secara mendadak.
Untuk menghindari permasalahan tersebut :
1. Jangan sampai overheat untuk battery / laptop , coba hindarkan ruangan panas. Untuk laptop tertentu yang industrial standard hal ini tidak masalah cuman laptop nya mahal biasanya
2. Biasakan pasang adaptor terlebih dahulu ke listrik, setelah beberapa saat baru ke laptop, untuk mengindari “spike” tersebut.
Salam semoga lekas sembuh, dan mohon yang membuat link, source kami di tampilkan. Salam
