The internet was originally a U.S.military project called ARPANET in 1969. The internet and the World Wide Web(WWW) are 2 different things. The internet is the interlock of computer which gives the ability for information to be transmitted. Search engines send out things called "spiders" to go through every web page and find the top/most wanted searches and brings the information to the search engines. Many searches have different amounts of web pages though, google has the most with 8.1 billion web pages, and Ask Jeeves is one of the lowest with 2.5 billion. There aren't many similar web pages between these different search engines. Some websites are not available from search engines like JSTOR or LexisNexis. Many techniques that can be used such as Phrase searching, Truncation, Boolean operators, and Search limits. Phrase searching allows you to find two or more words together using quotation marks (" "). Truncation searches by using characters as blank spaces(*,$). Boolean operators allows you to mix search terms using things such as AND, OR, NOT. Search limits help to narrow down searches to specific topics by using things such as google's advanced search. Phrase searching is useful when looking for specific words/phrase to help narrow down a search. it's better to search for sources instead of just information. It's better to try and narrow a topic down by using these different search options, because it helps from making the sources become to broad or generalized.

1. PageRank Technology: PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.

PageRank also considers the importance of each page that casts a vote, as votes from some pages are considered to have greater value, thus giving the linked page greater value. We have always taken a pragmatic approach to help improve search quality and create useful products, and our technology uses the collective intelligence of the web to determine a page's importance.

Digital Story 3 Narrative
Posted by Kevin Cahill on 8:23 AM
In a couple of years, the Mets will be one of the best baseball team in the majors. At the moment now, we have great hitting. We got Bay, Wright, Reyes, Barajas, and Beltran. They will all most likely be on the team in years to come. We also have good defense. All the outfielders, Bay, Beltran, and Francoeur, are just great at playing their position. Reyes is good at defense, and has a great arm. Wright has already won a gold glove. Barajas is a great defensive catcher, and is also great at hitting, and managing the pitching staff. The pitching is doing a remarkable job this year. Santana is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball, Pelfrey is starting to become a great pitcher. He gets better every year. Maine is going back to his old way of throwing mostly fastballs, and it's working. Not only do the Mets have good players on the team now, but they also have a great farm team and rookies. The have Ike Davis who was brought up to the majors, and in only one month is hitting .300%, 3 home runs, 9 rbi's. Beside for his great eye at the plate, and being a great hitter, he is also showing great skill at defense. In only one month, he has made three diving catches into the dugout. He has potential, to be something special. They also have a reliever henry meija. This kid is already in the majors at the age of 20, and can pitch. His fastball is around 97mph. They also have many young prospects in their farm team. Some being Fernando martinez, Josh Thole, and Chris carter.
At the end of the 2010 baseball season, many great pitchers will be free agents, and the Mets plan on picking a few up. With all of these factors, the Mets are sure to be a team to beat. They will be up there with the greatest teams in baseball. International Day Blog

After reviewing another student's post of their culture i learned that Polish people celebrate Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day. Christmas Eve is more important to them, the do everything that ost people would d on Christmas Day on Christmas Eve. Polish people also celebrate name day, and Birthday's. Name day is when you celebrate an important person's name that is the same as yours. That is what i learned about Polish culture.
What culture means to me
Posted by Kevin Cahill on 7:51 AM
What culture means to me is the characteristics a country has. The characteristics are holidays, architecture, music, sports, etc. An example of American culture is Thanksgiving. My family's culture is Italian. Some Italian culture's are eating pasta, and also spending Sunday with your family. Every sunday my entire family goes to my grandpa's house. It is me, my mom, my dad, 5 aunts, 6 uncles, 7 cousins, and grandpa. It is really fun to see your family every week. I think everyone should do that.
