Herbal Viagra page same DA/PA as UC Berkeley??

Either there is some amazingly good SEO work going on here, or Google has an amazingly large hole in their metrics.
http://www.ucdavis.edu/index.html
The "nottowait" page has a PA of 85?! and a DA of 82?!
The page is HORRIBLE. The page itself is an image of another page. The nav bar does not function, nor does any of the "click here" links. At the bottom there is a paragraph of keywords and broken english.
This page is pure junk and should simply not have any value at all with respect to DA nor PA.
It has a ton of incoming links from various sources which seem to be the source of all this value, which it passes on to other pages. This page really is an affront to the "content is king" concept.
I suppose I should ask a question but all I can think of is, what is Matt Cutts' phone number? I want to ask him how this page has gotten away with being ranked so well for so long.

I believe that this is a clear demonstration that link metrics are a decoy that pulls you away from what is really important.

It just goes to show that this stuff works still though.

All of the high DA linking sites appear to be chinese, japanese and other asian sites, including government sites.
Take their 88 DA link. It is a blog comment as follows:

With site speed now showing on webmaster tools I'd figure it get a ranking boost for 'performance'.
It does have a lot of linking root domains 2,665 and inbound followed links 13,799 from sites with upto 84 DA, which it probably owns.

Best practice to preserve the link juice to internal pages from expired domain?
This question relates to setting up an expired domain, that already has quality links, including deep links to internal pages. Since the new site structure will be different, what's the best practice to preserve the link juice to these internal pages? Export all the internal pages linked to using majestic Seo/ ahrefs etc, and set these pages previously linked to? Or 301 redirect these pages to home page? I heard there's a Wordpress plugin that 301 redirects all the 404 errors successfully preserving all the potential link juice.

Article Re-posting / Duplication
Hi Mozzers! Quick question for you all. This is something I've been unsure of for a while. But when a guest post you've written goes live on someone's blog. Is it then okay it post the same article to your own blog as well as Squidoo for example? Would the search engines still see it as duplication if I have a link back to the original?

What does youtube consider duplicated content? If I have a power point type video that I already have on youtube and I want to change the beginning and end call to action, would that be considered duplicate content? If yes then how would this effect my ranking/youtube page. Will it make a difference if I have it embedded on my blog?
