The Court of Appeal has upheld the legality of Government cutbacks in the benefits system that campaigners say are pushing people "to breaking point".
Christian leaders have warned that "cutbacks and failures" in the system are forcing thousands of people to use food banks.
But appeal judges have ruled that two of the Government's most controversial cutting measures - the so-called "bedroom tax" and the benefit cap - are not unlawful.
Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, rejected a two-pronged legal attack and said the court could only intervene if the measures "were manifestly without reasonable foundation".
The judge ruled that that test was not satisfied and both challenges must fail.
Later campaigners vowed to fight on, saying the cuts are having a "devastating" impact on vulnerable people.
The Department for Work and Pensions, which was a defendant in both legal actions, welcomed the court's ruling.
A spokesman said of its bedroom policy: "We are pleased that the courts have once again found in our favour and agreed our policy is lawful.
"Reform of housing benefit in the social sector is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of the benefit. But we have ensured extra discretionary housing support is available for vulnerable people."
Referring to the benefit cap, the spokesman added: ""We are pleased that the courts have ruled again that the benefit cap complies with the European Convention on Human Rights.
"The benefit cap sets a fair limit to what people can expect to get from the welfare system - so that claimants cannot receive more than £500 a week, the average household earnings."
Lord Dyson sat with Lord Justice Longmore and Lord Justice Ryder to hear the bedroom challenge. In a separate hearing, he considered the legality of the benefit cap with Lord Justice Longmore and Lord Justice Lloyd Jones.
The bedroom regulations, introduced in April last year, have led to reductions in housing benefit payments to tenants in social housing assessed through controversial "size criteria" to be under-occupying their accommodation.
Tenants with one spare bedroom have had a payment reduction of 14% and those deemed to have two or more spare have seen a reduction of 25%.
Campaigners say the regulations have had a "devastating" impact on many people by imposing an "excessive and unfair burden" and failing to reflect the needs of disabled people for extra space because of their health problems.
The DWP rejects the ''bedroom tax'' tag and says the reality is that ''a spare room subsidy'' has been removed from social sector tenants.
It says the Government's aim of reducing rising housing benefit expenditure is lawful and legitimate, and an ''integral aspect'' of its deficit reduction programme. The change in regulations is expected to produce savings of £500 million a year.
In the benefit cap case, it was argued the Government's flagship cutbacks policy is having a particularly harsh impact on women fleeing domestic violence, and on their children, threatening to trap them in abusive relationships.
The case was brought by two lone parents forced into temporary accommodation in London, and one each of their children.
The cap forms part of Government reforms to reduce spending on welfare by £11 billion per year.
Lawyers for disabled people affected by the spare bedroom policy said they were "baffled" by today's ruling as it fails to provide legal protection for people with disabilities.
The National Housing Federation's head of policy Kevin Williamson said the launching of court action shows "how desperate" disabled people are.
He said: "Disabled people across the country are being forced to cut back on food and heating to pay the bedroom tax.
"The Government said discretionary housing payments would protect them but one in three disabled people who applied for it were turned down."
Lawyers for lone parents affected by the benefit cap say the court is supporting a measure that is likely to have "not only devastating consequences for individual children but serious financial costs as the fallout impacts on other public services, including social services, education and the justice system."
Ugo Hayter, from law firm Leigh Day, representing two of the disabled appellants, said an appeal to the Supreme Court was under consideration, adding: "We are extremely disappointed by this judgment and we are baffled by the findings of the Court of Appeal."
Mr Hayter said: "Our thoughts go out to the thousands of disabled tenants who continue to be faced with uncertainty, poverty and the risk of eviction."
Anne McMurdie of Public Law Solicitors, whose company acts for three of the appellants, said: "The Government has sought to make savings by targeting the most vulnerable in our society. On the Government's own figures at least 440,000 disabled households will lose out under the new regulations.
"There is compelling and growing evidence of the terrible adverse impact on disabled tenants, having to make the dreadful choice between paying the rent and buying food or heating their homes.
"Disabled tenants are not asking for extra funds - they are asking for housing benefit to be paid at a level which meets their needs - for the same right as others. Discretionary payments are not the answer."
Richard Kramer, deputy chief executive of Sense, the national deafblind charity, said: "We are extremely disappointed with today's decision by the Court of Appeal on the legality of the bedroom tax.
"We know from our experiences of supporting deafblind people that the bedroom tax has adversely affected disabled people. Many have been found to have a so-called extra bedroom despite requiring it because of their disability, for example needing extra space to store disability-related equipment and for short-term carers.
"Many disabled people, including the deafblind people that Sense supports, have been pushed to breaking point. They are struggling with the transition from DLA (Disability Living Allowance) to PIP (Personal Independence Payment) and many are facing huge cuts to their social care, leaving them without the support they desperately need to live full and active lives.
"Alongside other benefits being cut, housing benefit has been the final blow for many disabled people and can lead to serious financial hardship.
"We are urgently calling on the Government to reconsider this unfair policy and to prevent disabled people from suffering financially as a result of their disability."
Richard Hawkes, chief executive of the disability charity Scope, described the appeal ruling as " a setback for the campaigners and a major blow for the 400,000 disabled people who are feeling the impact of this policy".
Mr Hawkes said: "We've spoken to disabled people who aren't able to share a specially adapted bed with their partner, and have to sleep in a separate room.
"Disabled people are being forced to move, or find the extra cash they don't have to pay their rent."
Rebekah Carrier, of Hopkin Murray Beskine Solicitors, who represented the benefit cap appellants, said they also hoped to take their case to the Supreme Court.
Ms Carrier said: " In particular it is disappointing that the court declined to decide important issues of principle affecting the large numbers of women and children made homeless by domestic violence every year.
"The Government promised to address this in April 2013, 10 months ago, but has failed to do so. The court recognised the problem and expressed concern about the Government's delay in addressing it, but they have abandoned many domestic violence victims to their fate until the Government chooses to act.
"That is not good enough for my clients, or for the many women who will face a stark choice about whether to stay with a violent partner, or flee and risk losing their home or being destitute."
Among the test cases is that of Charlotte Carmichael, from Southport, Merseyside, who says she is unable to share a bedroom with her husband, Jayson.
Other challenges awaiting the outcome of today's hearing include those launched by separated parents, who say they need room for children when they come to stay, and victims of domestic violence rehoused with special security.
Since the High Court hearing, disabled children have been given exemption from the "bedroom tax".
The death of grandmother Stephanie Bottrill has been blamed on the tax. The Sunday People reported that the 53-year-old threw herself into the path of a speeding lorry after having to find an additional £80 a month in "tax" when her two children both left home.
The newspaper reported that she left a suicide note to her son, Steven, 23, saying: "Don't blame yourself for me ending my life. The only people to blame are the Government."
Later Mr Bottrill said he had discovered that she should have been exempted under the regulations as a long-standing tenant.

So, the announcement of FreeBSD 9.2 came out on Monday [September 30th], which I missed because I was focused on my UNMC thing. But, once it appeared, I knew that I was going to want to upgrade to it sooner than later.
From its highlights, the main items that caught my attention were:
But, I did start this upgrade on October 4th....where for an unknown reason, I launched the
freebsd-update process on cbox, the busier of the two headless servers. I suspect I went with doing the upgrade on my headless servers, because they are entirely running on SSD and would likely see the benefit of lz4 compression. And, perhaps I did cbox, because it was the system that could most gain from lz4.
It took a couple iterations through
freebsd-update, before I got an upgrade scenario that could proceed. And, it took a long time given the high load that is cbox.
That is cbox is an Atom D2700 (2.13GHz, dual core) processor. And, cacti (especially with the inefficient, processor/memory intensive percona monitoring scripts -- might help if only scrpt server support worked, and wasn't just a left over from what it was based on.) being the main source of load. That is usually in the 11.xx area, except during certain other events (like, since 3.5, when
cf-agent fires...cbox is set to run at a lower frequency than my other systems.) or when the majority of logs get rotated and bzip'd. And, there's also some impact when zen connects to
rsyncd each day for
backuppc. But, these spikes weren't that significant. Though the high load would cause
cf-agent runs to take orders of magnitude longer than other systems, including its 'twin' dbox.
Also ran into a problem (again?) where a lot of the differences that
freebsd-update needed resolved were differences in revision tags....some as silly as '9.2' vs '9.1', others had new time stamps or usernames, but seldom any changes to the contents of the file. Which I then discovered a problem from having some of these files under
cfengine control.
cfengine would revert these files back to having '9.1' revision strings, which confused the
freebsd-update. I ended up updating all the files in
cfengine to have the 9.2 versioning, though I thought about just removing/replacing it with something else entirely, though wasn't sure the impact that would have on current/future
freebsd-update upgrades.
Though it did seem to cause problem with the other two upgrades, where it would say that some of these files were now removed and asked if I wanted to remove these. Which doesn't make sense, since it didn't say that with the first upgrade. It was probably just angry that these files already claimed to be from FreeBSD 9.2.
It also didn't like that I use
sendmail, therefore my sendmail configs are specific to my configuration, or that I use
cups, so
printercap is the one auto-generated by cups, etc.
But, once it got to where it would let me run my first "
freebsd-update install". I ran it, rebooted, ran it again, rebooted, updated stuff (though it didn't complain as much, perhaps because some of the troublesome kernel mod ports had corrected the problem of installing into
/boot/kernel, or perhaps enough stayed the same between 9.1 and 9.2, that things didn't freak out like before. And, this includes the virtualbox kernel mod, when I did the upgrade on zen, and later mew. But, I re-installed these ports and lsof. I did a quick check of other services, and then upgraded the 'zroot' zpool to have feature flags (which now means it no longer has a version, apparently instead of jumping the numbers to distinguish from Sun/Oracle it has eliminated having version numbers (for beyond 28) and having flags for the features added since. Wonder if the flags capture all has changed since 28, since I thought there have been other improvements internal that aren't described by version numbers. Namely, I seem to recall that there have been improvements in recoverability....namely it had been suggested, when I was trying to recover a corrupt 'zroot' on
mew, to try finding a v5000 ZFS live CD. Which I don't think I ever found, and gave up anyways when I concluded the level of corruption was too great for any hope of recovery and that I needed to resort to a netbackup restore, before the last successful full get's expired. Though being that it was nearly 90 days old, the other two month fulls didn't exist due to system instability that eventually caused the corrupted zpool (eventually found to be a known bad revision of the Cougar Point chipset and a bad DIMM...things seem to finally be stable from using a SiI3132 SATA controller instead of the on board, and getting that bad DIMM replaced....was weird that it was a Dell Optiplex 990, purchased new over a year after the problem had been identified and a newer revision of the chipset was released. I did eventually convince Dell support to send me a new motherboard and replace the DIMM. The latter was good, since I had to use DIMMs from another Dell that had been upgraded, so I had less memory for a while. But, while at first I did use the onboard SATA again, eventually I started having problems that would result in losing a disk from the mirrored zpool, to eventually causing a reboot where they would both be present again [though gmirror would need manual intervention]....and moving back to the SiI3132 has finally gotten things stable again. Though the harddrives in mew are SATA-III, so it would've been desirable to have stayed on the SATA-III onboard ports, where it was these ports that were the main source of problems in the prior defective version. Perhaps the fact that the prior version had a heatsink and the new version didn't, wasn't because they didn't need it to try to compensate for the problems caused by over-driving the silicon for the SATA-III portion. But, an oversight with the newer revision motherboard. The problem did tend to occur in the early morning hours on the weekend, when not only is there a lot of daily disk activity, but there is also a lot of weekly disk activity, etc. Oh well.)
So, after upgrading the zpool, and reinstalling the boot block/code. I then rebooted the system again. I had already identified the zfs filesystems where I had 'compression=on', so had written a script to change all these to 'compression=lz4'. Which I now ran.
And, then I turned my attention to doing dbox.

Opvouwbare Beauty Dish is ideaal voor fotografie op locatie, compact, lichtgewicht en eenvoudig in gebruik. Wordt net als een gewone paraplu uitgeklapt.
The assembly takes just seconds - push each rod end into place and slide it home, job done! And, unlike some others, the rods are steel and virtually indestructable. The fabric material is also special, it is far thicker and denser than others and this both improves both life expectancy and prevents light leakage.And there are 16 rods (most copies have only 8) and 16 are essential for proper lighting, because less than that just produces large flat areas that send the light in every direction except the right one!
The Lencarta folding beauty dishes have the correct parabolic design, and are more efficient than the versions that have just 8 supporting rods. And there is a deflector, which not only prevents hotspots, it is also both the correct size, and correctly positioned, to fully utilise the parabolic shape, which again is not the case with versions sold by others. The Deflector can be reversed in seconds, and when reversed it alters the focus point, this allows the beauty dish to be used at different distances, and also produces a different effect.We also include a free inner diffuser, and as you can see, the centre portion of this is double thickness. When used as a beauty dish, this diffuser produces yet another effect. We also include a free outer diffuser, when this is fitted your beauty dish will in effect become a softbox of the same size and shape - this means that if you buy our folding beauty dishes then you won't need to buy a softbox of the same size!The diffuser quality is extremely high, which produces the best quality of diffusion possible. When using it as a softbox, the deflector can be either left in place or removed, and each choice produces yet another lighting effect.And we also include a free 4x4x4cm honeycomb grid, when used without the diffuser it will concentrate the spread of light very effectively, when used with the diffuser fitted it will have the effect of a gridded softbox, which again is very useful. The honeycomb grid reduces the spread of light to 41 degrees. And we also include a free zipped bag.The photo shows a Lencarta/Bowens S-fit speedring, and this beauty dish is also available to fit most other makes of flash head.This beauty dish has a silver interior, we also have them in 60cm and 80cm sizes, and all sizes are also available with a white interior.Both white and silver beauty dishes produce the same type of light, which accentuates the shape of the face beautifully. The effects produced by the silver version are more pronounced than the white one, so if the model has perfect bone structure and a perfect complexion, the results will be more dramatic with the silver version, but the white version is more forgiving of imperfections.Whichever flavour is used, the effect will be more dramatic if a honeycomb is fitted, and much less dramatic if the diffuser is fitted, and a 3rd type of effect can be achieved by fitting both the honeycomb and the diffuser.

Search Engine Optimization A to Z
When those of us in search marketing talk and write about link building, we tend to use terms that we think are very commonly understood. We bandy around phrases like "CTR on page 1 of the SERPs is better than on page 2" and "god help me if my content gets deindexed."
However, for the new guys and gals out there (and that includes people who are both learning about building links and clients who seek link services) this link building guide will help define and explain some of the more common link building terms, from A to Z.
A – AC Rank, Actual PageRank, Anchor Text
A – AC Rank, Actual PageRank, Anchor Text
AC Rank [A Citation Rank]
Majestic SEO's measure of a page's importance, on a scale of 0 to 15. It can be considered an alternative to Google's PageRank and is used in various link tool programs. The AC Rank stands for A Citation Rank.
The Actual PageRank
Google's value for your page, and it's not what you see on a tool or your toolbar, as that isn't updated frequently enough to reflect the true value.
Anchor text
The content inside of the anchor element ( < a>anchor text < /a>) and is designed to give you an idea of what the content you are pointing to is about. The anchor element contains an href attribute where the target of the link is designated. The anchor element is, many times, called an anchor tag.
B – Backlink Profile, Bait, Bing, Blekko, Blog Network, Broken Links
Backlink profile
A term used to describe the links coming into a site from sources other than the site itself.
Bait [link bait]
Content that is specifically designed in order to naturally attract links.
The most popular alternative to Google's search engine at the current time, owned by Microsoft.
Also a great alternative to Google and prides itself on being a spam-free search engine. It has some great features that can help you when link building.
Blog networks
Exactly what they sound like: networked blogs. Their importance in link building has recently been compromised as several high-profile and large networks (e.g., BuildMyRank) have been devalued.
Broken link building
The process of finding links that hit 404 pages on other sites, contacting the sites with those links, and asking to have the link pointed to your own resource.
C – Content, Conversion, CTR
The subject matter, in text and images, of your site and its pages. Content is also used to describe anything that your brand produces, whether it's a guest post on another site, an article that you distribute, a press release, or an infographic.
A term used to describe an event where a user performs a certain action that is valuable to you as a site owner. Some webmasters view a contact email as a conversion, for example, while others simply view an actual sale as one.
CTR [click through rate]
A term associated with PPC but becoming more popular in the general SEO vernacular as some speculate that it may become more important in ranking. Your CTR is the number of times your listing is shown (triggered by a search and referred to as impressions with PPC) divided by the number of times it's clicked upon, calculated as a percentage.
D – Deep Link Ratio, Deindexed, Directories, Drain Rank, Disavow Links
Deep link ratio
The percentage of links that go to your subpages vs. just your home page. Many different views abound about what number is ideal.
Refers to being thrown out of a search engine and removed from their database.
One of the most consistent ways that people have built links throughout the years. There are paid and free versions, directories that accept all submissions and many that are quite picky about what they'll accept, and while they have fallen out of fashion somewhat recently, they are still a valid source of traffic.
Disavow Links Tool
Use this to tell Google or Bing which links you want them to ignore in your backlink profile. This tool came about after an outcry from webmasters who were punished for incoming links that hurt them but that they could not control.
Drain rank
This refers to the idea that linking out to other sites drains your PageRank.
E – Equity, External Link
The group of links pointing to your site at a point in time.
External links
Links that go from your site to someone else's site. Some people nofollow them in order to prevent them from receiving any link juice.
F – Followed Link, Footer Link, Footprint
Followed links
Links that are allowed to send link juice to their targets. For ranking purposes, these are the kind of links that you want. A link without a rel=nofollow is a followed link.
Footer links
Links that appear in the footer of a site, generally on every page. These were originally so abused that many SEOs now consider a footer link to be very poor. However, there are still legitimate footer links.
Ways of identifying patterns that you're using to build links. For example, if 75 percent of your links come from non-U.S.-hosted sites and are all on blogrolls, that's a big footprint. A "natural" backlink profile should not have many obvious footprints due to its organic nature, therefore having easily identifiable footprints is a potential bad sign for your site. However, you can have a good footprint too (such as if you had a lot of great and authoritative links from respected news sources because your site was constantly being cited there.)
G – Google, Guest Posting, Graph
So powerful, it's now a verb. No matter what anyone says, almost all of us market to what Google wants.
Graph [link graph]
Generally speaking, the link graph is a representation of links for sites. It can be thought of as being the "normal" for a niche of sites but may also refer to links for a certain market sector/keyword/locality/etc. You can use a link graph for competitive research to define what everyone else is doing and see where you stand in relation to that. A complicated thing to define, as it's not a discrete concept.
Guest posting
A popular way of building links and creating new content. Many sites actively recruit for new guest posters and some are amenable to the idea when contacted. The whole idea of a guest post is to raise exposure for a brand on another site, but it's quickly becoming a spammy and abused method. However, when done correctly, guest posts can bring you some fantastic traffic.
H – Hashtag, Hidden Link, Href
Widely used on social network platforms in order to associate a tweet/comment with something. They begin with #. On Twitter, hashtags are used to help trend certain ideas. For link building purposes, hashtag searches on Twitter are useful for finding good potential link targets.
Hidden link
A link that is intentionally coded in order to not appear as a link. It can be hidden using a text color that is the same as the background, placed inside an irrelevant image, font size 0, etc. These are viewed as manipulative and deceptive and can cause Google to remove your site from their index.
An HTML attribute that lists the target of a link. An example is < a href="http://www.w3schools.com">Visit W3Schools < /a>.
I – Image Link, Internal Link, Inbound Link
Image link
An image that is linked to a target. Image links are part of a natural link profile and can pass link juice, but they do not include anchor text as regular text links do. Instead, they use an alt text (which is also used by screenreaders) to give information about the link target.
Inbound links
Links coming to your site from a site other than your own. The anchor text of an inbound link supposedly tells the search engines what your page is about, thus helping you rank for that term.
Internal Link
A link from one page of your site to another page on your site.
J – Juice
A term used to describe the benefit received from a link, also referred to as link juice.
K – Keyword
Words or phrases for which you want to rank in the search engines. They should be present in your copy and in links pointing to your site.
L – Link Profile
Link profile
The collective group of sites that link to you.
M – MozRank
A method of measuring the link popularity of a webpage by SEO software provider Moz. Becoming a more important metric by the day, almost akin to PageRank.
N – Nofollowed Link
nofollowed link
These are indicated by placing a rel="nofollow" into the link code. A nofollow is designed to tell Google that the link should not pass value to the target. Nofollows are also used internally for PageRank sculpting and to indicate that a link is sponsored/paid. Nofollow links are not good for ranking purposes but they can be good for traffic.
O – Outbound Linking
Outbound linking
The practice of linking from your site to another. Many people nofollow these links in an effort to conserve link juice, but that practice is becoming a bit more frowned upon recently.
P – PageRank, Paid Links, Panda, Penguin
Google's measure of a page's importance. There's a difference in what you can see as your PageRank and what Google thinks it is.
Paid links
Refers to links that are bought and placed on a website, with the intention of helping the buyer's website rank better. When not indicated as such, are a violation of Google's guidelines and are a risky tactic. Paid links can be problematic both for the site selling them and for the webmaster buying them as both practices can get you penalized. If a link has been purchased, it should be indicated as such with a nofollow according to Google.
A Google algorithm update that can make grown men cry. It first struck fear into our hearts in February 2011 and was an effort to force higher quality sites higher up in the SERPs. After the first update, we've seen several more. There's way, way too much to go into here but you can read all the SEW articles about it here.
A new search algorithm designed to detect, and boot out, spam. Like Panda, it made us cry and several sites were "accidentally" affected by it, so badly that there's actually a form to fill out if you think you're one of those accidental cases. Again, there's too much to go into so read about it here.
Q – Query
Simply a question that you ask a search engine or a database, whether or not it's in the form of a question. We refer to queries in terms of how many times someone searches for a keyphrase, and in manners related to seeing where you rank in an engine.
R – Rank, Reciprocal Links, Referrer, Rel, Robots, Rot
Where you show up on the SERPs.
Reciprocal linking
The process of linking to someone who links to you. It's a common way of requesting a link (i.e., I'll link to you if you will link to me).
In link terms, a referrer is something that sent a visitor to your site. That could be a search engine or a link from a website. It's the previous place a user was before they hit your site.
An element that gives the role of a link. Current uses critical for link building are to say whether a link should be followed (the default) or nofollowed (rel=nofollow).
Search engine bots, but robots can be slang for the robots.txt file, which gives instructions to engines about what to do with your site. If you don't want certain pages to be indexed, you block them in the robots file. There are also meta robots tags ( < META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">) A robots.txt file is also found at url.com/robots.txt.
A term used to describe what happens when there are links pointing to pages that are no longer available and not properly redirected or handled.
S – SERPs, Sitewides, Social Signals, Spam
SERPs [search engine results pages]
The pages Google, Bing, and others show you after you've performed a search.
Sitewide links
Links that are on every page of a site. You commonly see them in sidebars and footers, and while they once were a pretty easy way to get good rankings quickly, they're no longer viewed so positively. You do tend to find them in almost any backlink profile though, as they are part of a natural profile.
Social signals
Signs that your site/post/article is doing well socially, on the main social network platforms. Social signals are thought to be an ever-increasing method of measuring importance in the search engines and may become a bigger part of algorithms.
Jokingly referred to as being "sites positioned above mine", but is defined as being anything that clutters the web and makes for a poor user experience. Spam links are considered to be links that are irrelevant and low-quality but pursued simply to improve rankings.
Jokingly referred to as being "sites positioned above mine", but is defined as being anything that clutters the web and makes for a poor user experience. Spam links are considered to be links that are irrelevant and low-quality but pursued simply to improve rankings.
T – Toolbar Pagerank, Twitter
Toolbar PageRank [TBPR]
The number from 0 to 10 that you can see that reflects the most recently updated idea of how important your site is to Google. It is not Google's true value of your site.
A social media platform where users communicate through 140 characters or less. It's becoming more and more useful for finding good information as it happens.
U - Underline, Unnatural Links, URL
To signify most links, the linked keywords will be underlined. Links are commonly coded with underlining; style manipulations that do not underline a link can be considered to be a hidden link.
Unnatural link warnings
Like lice, nobody wants to see them. They are messages received in Google's Webmaster Tools that indicate that some potentially unnatural links have been detected for your site.
URL [Uniform Resource Locator]
URLs have several elements that are important for SEO purposes. The domain name can give clues about the theme of your site and your brand and should be chosen carefully, as overly-optimized domain names were supposedly downgraded in the EMD update. File names should also be named carefully so that your URLs are SEO-friendly.
V – Velocity
Your link growth speed. It can be measured with Link Research Tools.
W – Webmaster Tools
Webmaster Tools
Top search engines Google and Bing offer a free platform that you can use to keep an eye on your site. It can be a first line of defense when you notice any negative changes with rankings and traffic.
X – Xenu
Xenu's Link Sleuth
One of those old-school things that anyone who's been involved in SEO for more than a few years probably loves. Xenu's Link Sleuth identifies broken links on sites.
Y – Yahoo
The other search engine. Many link builders will refer to being listed in the Yahoo Directory, which used to be one of those things that we all recommended. Today, Bing provides the search results you see on Yahoo.
Z – Zzzzz
Sleep, which you definitely need if you're going to link build. It's tiring work!

Companies in the S&P 500 will likely authorize a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks in 2018, according to an estimate released by Goldman Sachs Friday. Buyback announcements have surged to $754 billion so far this year, and the bank said that the corporate tax cuts and strong cash flow have played a major role in the increase. If the current trend holds, authorized buybacks will rise 46 percent this year compared to 2017.
Analysts at the bank expect the share repurchases to have a significant positive effect on stock prices. "Corporate repurchases remain the largest source of demand for shares," Goldman's David Kostin said in a note to clients. "Buybacks represent the critical source of demand for shares given most other ownership categories are net sellers of stocks (households, mutual funds, pension funds)."
There's another trillion-dollar figure on the horizon, however, that threatens to take some of the wind out of the market's sails: the federal government's annual deficit, which is expected to hit $1 trillion by 2020. "Another strategically important but more bearish $1 trillion question relates to the U.S. government's fiscal balance," Kostin wrote. "This could indicate a number of risks for investors, including the possibility that interest rates rise more rapidly than expected and weigh on equity valuations."

People don't like to be left behind! And Im tired of it and starting to understand it! And they will do anything to stop their social status dropping that they don't look like a fools! I mean; they've been trying all this time to look pius and all spiritual like! If out do them and leave; the light will shine on the fact they are in love with themselves; and they are all they think of!
Im having situations where parents are telling their children not to touch or play with me! Just say no! So the kids come up or run up next to me; then stop and go around me so they don't touch me or invite me to play!
The parents are the ones sending the message that their in control here! They use their children as pawns! It's a kind of blackmail!
Its like saying ' if you make us look bad in front of others, by exposing that we are not spiritual, but in love with our selves and we are all we think about, then; we will make you look like a freako that is not allowed around children:" black mail! Wont work on me; Im to far along in my recovery! I can say goodbye to all of them!
The kids will now come up next to me but be forced to keep the other kids from coming around me! It puts me in the center of the victim bad person roll! The kids are protecting other kids from being around me! And its in public! And its done to null my social status! The parents are putting me in my place! What they don't know is; God is running the show! Im already recovering past anywhere they understand! If them and their children don't ever return! I will miss the children but I will be fine! I will not miss the adults; ###$ them to hell! And the kids; when the parents arnt looking! Come over to me and start beating on me and wanting to be chased again or they steal my hat and I have to run after them! But they've been told not to prompt me into action; instead don't do anything that would suggest I cant control myself! In other words they're trying to make me look bad! Considering who these sycophants are; this is understandable; underhanded but understandable!
As I get stronger; it does not matter! Its tuff; Im tuffer! God has me using these people to get better and they know it and cant do anything about it! the last thing they want; helping Omnicell get better and dumping their influence! These people have the arrogant narcissistic belief that they are in control! And they will use their kids or anyone else to keep that fantasy rolling!
Why am I around people like this in the first place! Well,! Like anything else in life! You starting out with the bottom people! The people on the lower shelf life! And you get used to that, learn to negotiate that; learn to express yourself at this level with these people and move up the ladder to better people! You start out at the beginning and this is who you got! Deal with it with Gods help!
Im always one step ahead of everyone! Especially those enemies that are trying to bring me down!
But this is the kind of $#%^ I deal with on a daily basis from the recovery places I surf! And its important to get it out; get it off my chest!
The main problem is; I'm around the wrong people! Im around people of low self esteem that want to make a name for themselves! I come along and out do them; they want payback!

From Feb. 1st InterRail 15% Discount Promotes European Rail Holidays
31 Jan, 2014, 07:00 GMT
UTRECHT, The Netherlands, January 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
InterRail reports an increase in travellers with popular Global Pass in 2013
From February 1st to March 31st InterRail travellers can take advantage of reduced fares when discovering Europe by Rail. A 15% discount on all InterRail Global Passes that are valid for rail travel across Europe grants a value for money travel experience that is available to all age groups. The promotional passes can be used for travel until the middle of June.
The InterRail Global Pass offers train travel throughout 30 European countries from Scandinavia to Turkey, starting from five days up to one month. This gives the pass holder the freedom to choose and even change their itinerary on the move.
Since the introduction of InterRail in 1972, rail pass travel through Europe has become a popular option amongst youngsters under the age of twenty-six. In recent years families and seniors have also started to favour budget-friendly train holidays as InterRail is most definitely available to all ages. In fact, both senior travellers and young people can benefit from special fares, granting a total discount of up to 40% based on the full fare price.
With the increasing popularity of rail pass travel, revenues generated by InterRail Global Pass sales in 2013 increased by 7.6% compared to 2012. The total number of InterRail travellers reached over 220,000 in the same year.
Offering this spring deal, InterRail intends to stimulate the sales of the popular Global Passes and to create awareness that travelling by rail on an InterRail Pass is a special and sustainable way to explore Europe. "Travelling off-season guarantees an improved travel experience, as touristic sights as well as other facilities are less crowded and prices are lower," Marketing Manager, Silvia Goerlach states. In addition to the widely valid InterRail Pass, customers can use the Rail Planner Offline App to access all relevant travel information including timetables and information on further benefits and discount that come along with the Pass. The Rail Planner App is available for iOS and Android smart phones for free.
InterRail Passes are sold by the local European railways and on http://www.interrail.eu.

CULTURE- ART FEATURE- Art with attitude: 'Bad Girls' bust up the rules
Tuesday, May 1, was the quintessential Bad Day. An editor e-mailed to inform me an assignment I'd submitted was un-publishable, a message he topped with this cherry of encouragement: "I can't fathom anyone would enjoy reading this." So it goes without saying that I was feeling less than upbeat when I dutifully dragged myself down to Vinegar Hill Theater that evening to see David Williams' Bad Girls, one of the last offerings in the Virginia Film Society's series, "Artists on Film."
Williams' documentary profiles Richmond artist Keithley Pierce and her company, "Bad Girl Art," which produces tiles and placemats featuring garishly painted girlies with captions like, "If you can't be a good example, you may just have to be a horrible warning," and "Have you noticed how what the hell is always the right decision?"
I laughed until I couldn't breathe. Then I laughed some more. Brilliantly edited, Williams' film rivets the audience with its celebration of Pierce's devil-may-care, doing-it-her-way-or-be-damned approach to art, feminism, and femininity.
Happily, the University of Virginia Art Museum has supplemented its screening of two other "Bad Girl" films, Miranda July's The Amateurist and Sadie Benning's It Wasn't Love, with a small display of works by Pierce, which she discusses in Williams' documentary. The most interesting– located just outside the museum's video gallery– are two altered books, Secret Emotions and Resume Book, created from text, collage, stitching, and found objects. As usual, Pierce's tongue is firmly in her cheek as she visually and verbally lays open her life.
July and Benning also put themselves front and center in their short films, albeit playing characters who uncomfortably prod viewers' assumptions about gender. July, who wrote, directed, and starred in 2005's Me and You and Everyone We Know (if you haven't seen it, put it in your Netflix queue right now), crafts an odd narrative in The Amateurist, involving a dark-haired, tightly wound "professional" woman who observes (and semi-controls via video monitor) an emotional, almost feral blonde "amateur," who wears only underwear and a fur chubby. Each character is incomplete, a super ego and an id respectively, removed from, yet dependent on, the other.
Benning's It Wasn't Love combines movie clips and black-and-white extreme close-ups, shot with a Fisher-Price toy video camera, to examine romance through oral fixations and Hollywood's gendered stereotypes, which Benning bends and twists like balloon animals.
Pierce, July, and Benning don't care if critics can't fathom viewers enjoying their work– as Annie Lennox sings, " Sisters are doing it for themselves."
"Bad Girls," featuring art by Keithley Pierce plus Miranda July's The Amateurist and Sadie Benning's It Wasn't Love, is on view through June 9 at the University of Virginia Art Museum. 155 Rugby Road. 924-3592.

When he was Fed chairman and had access to the best economic data and minds on the globe, Alan Greenspan famously liked to forecast the direction of the economy by studying sales of men's underwear. Even during the best of times, underwear purchases remain pretty flat, he noted. (What dude who has just gotten a raise thinks: "Ah yes! I'll upgrade my entire collection of briefs now!") Only during the worst of times — when people are really, really cutting back — do boxer and brief purchases drop off.
The reverse logic usually holds for America's dollar stores. Customers flock to the chains, which sell thousands of products for a buck or $2 or $10, when times get tough. When the economy improves, they shop at nicer outlets, like Target. But there are some worrisome signs that the prolonged economic malaise has changed even this retail paradigm. Middle-class households remain reluctant to spend. And cash-strapped consumers are finding even dollar stores a bit too expensive.
To be fair, Dollar Tree, Dollar General and Family Dollar, the three big national chains, all posted strong profits in the first quarter of the year, the last for which data are available. That is not just because they are opening new stores but also because same-store sales have continued to grow as more and more customers trade down.
Nevertheless, all three reported ominous data in the past few weeks. The Wall Street Journal noted that two of the three missed earnings targets. And the companies' investor notes report that customers are buying fewer discretionary items, like hand lotion and decorative goods, and more "consumables" and household items, like toilet paper.
In short, families are shopping more at dollar stores. But they are buying only what they need. They are picking up low-margin goods, cheaper per unit at dollar stores than places like Wal-Mart, and sold in smaller packages to let customers spread purchases out.
Thinning profits
The story gets worse the more you dig into the reports. Dollar Tree, for instance, said that it saw its gross profits thinning, "a result of the impact of stronger sales of lower-margin consumables, increased promotional markdowns, and higher freight expense." In an earnings call, as reported by the Journal, CEO Rick Dreiling explained that the stores let margins drop because they did not feel comfortable passing price increases onto consumers. "We have 228 items that are priced at $1 that we think are incredibly important to our customers that we elected not to take price increases on," he said. "This sounds almost silly, but a $1 item going to $1.15 in our channel is a major change for our customer."
Chalk it up as one more sign of weakness in consumer spending. Wal-Mart visits are down 3 percent, with some customers complaining that prices are too high there. A May study from Deloitte reported that 73 percent of shoppers are making fewer trips to the grocery store, 75 percent are buying lower-priced items, and 48 percent are buying fewer grocery items. This week, the Department of Commerce announced that, even though personal income ticked up in June, overall consumer spending declined.
The backdrop is the persistent, perhaps worsening, economic malaise, combined with rising food and gas prices. The latest ADP report on hiring suggested that private employers added more than 110,000 jobs in July. But layoffs are also increasing. Borders will lay off its 10,700 remaining employees when it liquidates. Pharmaceutical giant Merck is shedding 13,000 jobs. A spate of financial companies, including Barclays, Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, has announced staff reductions too. According to the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, last month saw a "sudden and unexpected burst" in downsizing.
Some economic prognosticators now see a double-dip on the horizon — a possibility considered so slim as to be unmentionable just a few months ago. "The indicators suggest that the economy has at least a 1-in-3 chance of falling back into recession if nothing new is done to raise demand and spur growth," Larry Summers, the former Harvard president, Treasury secretary and Obama economic adviser wrote this week. PIMCO's Bill Gross thinks the odds are worse. We are at the "tipping point" of recession, he told Bloomberg.
Of course, it could just be a transient soft spot. Jobs and spending could track back up in the third and fourth quarters of the year. But right now, little data supports that optimistic view. As for underwear sales? Well, the market research company NPD says they were up 14 percent for the three months ending in February. No word on how they have fared since then.

I know I haven't updated like I said I would, which is not really surprising.
At least I have excellent news to share.
I applied and was accepted to attend The Writer's Hotel writing conference. It's in Manhattan beginning in the first week of June. As part of attending the conference, my manuscript will be read twice and commented on. After talking with one of the editors for just fifteen minutes, I felt so validated and rejuvenated. This whole experience will help me better understand why my query is earning requests for my manuscript but my manuscript is being rejected.
In going back and reading my manuscript (which I foolishly neglected to do properly before sending it out), I realize my writing became impersonal. This is ironic considering the inspiration for the manuscript is incredibly personal. But I think I was too close to the story to accurately judge how I was telling it.
My parents are funding the conference, which is really and truly remarkable. Their generosity leaves me breathless. Honestly, I would be nowhere without them.
Next month, I find out where I stand regarding that contest I entered to try and turn my book HER BEAUTIFUL MONSTER into a movie. Wish me luck!
I've recently started attending therapy. I've only gone twice, but I think it might be helpful. I'm keeping and open mind and trying to stay positive.
I want to continuously make the conscious decision to be happy.
That being said, here's a prompt about being miserable.
Stay gold, friends. And be excellent to each other. xoxo
WRITING PROMPT #02.2018: "Come with or stay at home. It's your misery."
Madison was not living her best life.
She was stretched out upon the old, lumpy couch that was covered in an itchy fabric that made her sweat. She was on her stomach with her head turned to the right so she could see the television.
Nothing interesting was on, just an endless stream of true crime documentaries that Madison had seen before.
Her mouth was hanging open stupidly. She couldn't remember the last time she blinked, let alone moved. Madison was fairly confident she was resting on top of crumbs. She was mildly concerned she was even covered in crumbs, that she heard a faint crunch whenever she shifted to mold closer to the couch. As a matter of fact, her mouth was shiny with grease from consuming an untold number of potato chips. She just kept crunching and chewing until the bag was empty. She flicked her eyes to the empty bag, which was resting on a stained and wobbly coffee table less than a foot away from her. The open end of the bag gaped at her like an open mouth, and she flicked her eyes to stare into the void.
She had never felt less motivated, had never felt so unattractive. Madison suspected that this was giving up.
Her roommate, Christine, came bounding down the stairs. Madison didn't turn her head to see Christine, didn't dare move to make eye contact. She had been festering on the couch for several days now, content to spoil like so much rotten meat. She could feel the best parts of her decomposing and believed she was powerless to stop it. Doing her best to be sympathetic, Christine had allowed Madison to eat food that was terrible for her, watch television that was mindless, stay in the same clothes, and just be disgusting. A heartbreak could be near impossible to bounce back from, and Madison's foray into the disappointments of romance had been a doozy.
But enough was enough; there was a definite odor hanging about Madison now, something like pathetic despair. Madison couldn't live like that and to be frank, Christine couldn't live with someone who lived like that. If Christine were to move out, Madison would have absolutely no social interaction and would certainly decay at an accelerated rate. Madison probably envisioned herself as an Emily Dickinson type, a tragic albeit talented recluse, but Christine suspected the Unabomber was a better fit.
Christine walked over to where Madison was and kneeled before her friend, forcing her to make eye contact with a real human being and not some imagined individual on a screen. "Madison, get up. Get dressed. We're going out."
"I don't want to," Madison mumbled against the cushion she was doubling as a pillow.
"I don't care. You can't keep going on like this."
Madison was silent.
"Do you think David is doing this? Just waiting around to die? No way. Come on now. Get up."
Madison was unmoved.
Christine rolled her eyes. "Come with or stay at home. It's your misery."
Madison blinked stupidly and did not say anything.
Christine sighed and got to her feet. "I'm going to The Marvel Bar with some friends from work, and I am inviting you. I'm leaving in thirty minutes." Christine did an about face to walk into the kitchen and make herself a pregame cocktail. She had only gone about four steps when Madison flopped over onto her back.
"Do you think David will be there?"
Anger boiled up from Christine's stomach to color her face. She was about to spin around and scream at Madison so that spittle flew from the corners of her lips. How could David possibly matter? What Madison needed to focus on was herself, on getting happy, on being fit to be around other people. Christine wanted to shake Madison until Madison's teeth clacked together, until Madison bit her tongue hard enough to make it bleed. There was no doubt that tough love was necessary, but Christine also realized that she had to get Madison out of the house. That in itself would be a victory.
So coolly, Christine turned around and said, "Probably."
Madison bounded into the bathroom at an alarming speed, surprising for someone whose muscles must have been entering atrophy. Christine smiled and continued to the kitchen. She'd make two cocktails.

Oh Where, Oh Where Are the O-1 Visas Going?
Getting approval of any type of visa for temporary work in the U.S. involves providing stacks of paperwork to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), with the goal of proving that the applicant meets a strict set of legal criteria. That's part of why people hire immigration attorneys — not only to interpret the law, but to help assemble, file, and keep track of all the documents in a client's case.
So when even the attorneys are complaining that USCIS is raising the bar on the type and amount of documents required, and ultimately reducing the numbers of approvals, you know there's a problem. That's precisely what's happening in the case of O-1 visas for outstanding workers in the sciences, arts, athletics, education, or business.
According to to an October 17, 2014 report by Matthew Blake of the San Francisco Daily Journal, immigration lawyers are concerned that, "over the past year, [USCIS] has made it more difficult for their clients to get work visas, speculating that the agency is accepting more petitions for scientists at the expense of entertainers, or more cautiously following visa rules with national immigration policy in flux." Applicants are being asked to provide "detailed, multi=year work itineraries," and "more evidence that they are extraordinary."
Some lawyers met with USCIS over this issue, but were disappointed at the answers (or lack thereof.) The lawyers have since requested a "summit" with federal immigration officials.
Perhaps these lawyers' actions will bring about a resolution such that prospective O-1s can get on with their lives and visa applications. But if you are a potential O-1 seeker — especially an athlete — you'd do well to consult an attorney with lots of recent experience in this subspecialty of immigration law.

Happy Birthday
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that events are still happening.
Theater review by Helen Shaw. Beckett Theatre (see Off Broadway). By Anita Loos. Dir. Scott Alan Evans. With ensemble cast. 1hr 35mins. No intermission.
The delights of this revival of the 1946 Anita Loos charmer Happy Birthday arrive in their own sweet time—both play and production make us wait for our pleasures. And honestly, where's the rush? Certainly there's no bustle in the Jersey Mecca Cocktail Bar on a rainy night; our proprietress, Gail (Karen Ziemba), is practically tucking her clients into their tables. In Gail, Loos (author of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) has provided the play's giddy fantasy with a sober chaperone. Even after our hero, Addie (Mary Bacon), enters and has adventures that turn romantic and musical and thrilling, we still watch through Gail's eyes—wryly and with a growing affection.
The Mecca's regulars aren't alone in initially worrying about the evening's entertainment value. Director Scott Alan Evans starts awkwardly—we desperately need a realistic hubbub to stave off the quiet. Theater Row venues swallow life and noise; mimed conversations and mousy little Addie don't seem like a match for the room's dampening effect. Luckily, Addie's a teetotaler who wants out of her shell, quickly discovering booze, wooing a bank clerk, spending her life savings and developing some very fast friendships.
The production, lit by the protagonist's increasingly drunk perspective, gathers confidence along with its blossoming little ingenue. Bacon's grave, kittenish face folds in fury, then opens in happiness, then opens still further in transcendent rapture. Loos knows this epiphany-through-gin won't last long: She stacks the stage with disappointed dreamers. Still, it's a measure of the play's sweet humanism that all of us (and all of them) are eager to forget our so-called wisdom and rejoice along with Addie as she drinks down all the contents of Pandora's box.—Helen Shaw

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Unless you're picking up ZR-rated tires for your Lamborghini Murcielago, buying a new set of radials isn't usually a great deal of fun. Much like running shoes, tires last longer than their models stay in production, so new tires usually means new research. Reading Consumer Reports or crowd-sourced reviews on TireRack.com can help you narrow things down, but they're no substitute for the advice of a knowledgeable, trustworthy dealer. That's where Sue Rouse of the family-owned Rouse Tire Service comes in. Sue is a no-nonsense tire dealer whose shop keeps a great stock of commonly installed tires, and whose staff is friendly, responsive, and fast. If she doesn't have what you need (and she knows what you need before you even ask), she'll get it for you, and she'll use her network of multiple suppliers to find you a fair price. Rouse may cost a few dollars more than Costco, but you'll get better tires, better service, and the benefit of experience that Sue Rouse has developed over many years in the business. Plus, you can hang out at the Whole Foods cafe across the street, rather than shop for a platoon-size jar of mayonnaise.
