Stats and stories behind the scenes
By Matt Hill
They are three men who all have ties to Carter County that have all been journalists at one point or still are, but their greatest accomplishments have been working behind the scenes in college athletics promoting sports.
Michael White, Matt Laws and Gene Renfro are all very successful in what they do in helping get the name out about the college each works for or just making sure everything is running smoothly.
One is a sports information director at a Division I university, one is a small college SID and the other one has done a little bit of everything and now serves as a compliance director.
All three have different roles, but they all do it well.

Recapping the day's news and newsmakers through the lens of CNBC.
Bad Data … Bad News?
Wednesday data on productivity and jobs were inconclusive. Sure, the economy gained 135,000 jobs, but that was fewer than expected. And nonfarm productivity was up just 0.5 percent in May (down from 0.7 percent in April), which is a gain, but a little on the light side. Labor costs, surprisingly, were down 4.3 percent.
According to ADP, the economy added 42,000 jobs in professional/business services, 31,000 jobs in the trades, transportation and utilities, 7,000 jobs in financial activities and 5,000 construction jobs, but lost 6,000 manufacturing jobs.
As the data were digested, the markets began to sag amid speculation that the Federal Reserve's intervention was losing steam and how it might be hurting hiring.
The Wednesday afternoon release of the Fed's Beige Book said that the economy grew at a modest to moderate pace. It did, however, mention that we are finally feeling downward pressure from the sequester.
The market suffered its biggest two-day loss since April. Bad economic news meant bad news for stocks, and there could be more of that correlation coming.
"Japanese markets in totality will give us probably our best barometer on global leverage in the financial asset community, better than anything else, because it's hard to get signals with these programs like quantitative easing."—CNBC's Rick Santelli
"I think the market is acting as it should, which is to say we've had some punkish economic data of recent, clearly […] disappointing. The ADP number setting up perhaps for a jobs report Friday that is less than the market is expecting. In addition to that, we have the manufacturing numbers from the ISM that were just below the boom/bust line. And today's number from the ISM services index [showed] that the employment component was just barely above the boom/bust line, in fact at a 10-month low. We're in the period that we're not getting economic validation to support higher equity prices."—Mark Luschini, Janney Montgomery Scott
Rising Rates, Housing and the Economy
What happens to the housing recovery and the economy when interest rates continue to rise? As you'd guess, the effects will be manifold.
Banks like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, which have enjoyed a huge influx of refinancing money, will see a big chunk of it disappear as rates rise above 4 percent. New-home prices, which had seen a big surge, could suffer as potential buyers recoil, reducing the profitability of home builders.
Those same home builders are seeing the cost of land and labor go up while materials fluctuate, which might be a good sign for the economy but isn't good for their bottom line. Oh, and don't forget that those same home builders will see rising financing costs.
And then factor in a big backlog in sales because of a slower and more restrictive mortgage-approval process, said Stuart Miller, president and CEO of Lennar, and you have added pressure. All of this could point toward normalcy … or downward pressure on sales and profitability.
"You are clearly seeing a knee-jerk reaction to what I think is more of a reversion to kind of a normal line of where things should be. So, you know, interest rates have been at historic lows. They're going to revert to some normal trend and the first reaction certainly from the investor community is going to be that question of how high could interest rate go before it starts to affect a housing market and likewise you see the reversion to normal in pricing and the buying public and the investor community as well starts questioning 'are we starting to see another bubble in housing prices?'"—Stuart Miller
Samsung Strikes Back
Score one for Samsung Electronics in its ongoing legal battle with Apple. The International Trade Commission late Tuesday issued a ban on imports of older models of the iPhone sold by AT&T and a variant of the iPad because Apple violated a Samsung patent related to 3G wireless technology and interoperability.
All such exclusion orders are sent to the president, who has 60 days to veto them or let them pass.
Apple said it would appeal but industry watchers say the impact to Apple will be negligible anyway, as the two companies continue to pursue patent battles against each other in multiple countries.
"When Apple does release a new phone in the fall, the four will most likely be discontinued. They could introduce a brand new phone, as well, which would completely make up for something that would affect this. I don't think this is that big."—Jonathan Geller, Boy Genius Report
"The essence of this is that this has about a 1 percent negative impact on Apple's revenue over the next couple of quarters if the injunction holds. Beyond the September quarter it doesn't have any impact because the last product would be the iPhone 4 and that's going to be retired."— Gene Munster, senior research analyst, Piper Jaffray
"There are a lot of folks who can spell Hadoop and put it on their résumé and call themselves data scientists, and nothing can be further from the truth. We need, as an industry, to get that term defined."
Government Motors No More?
The Treasury Department announced Wednesday that it will wind down its stake in General Motors with a sale of 30 million shares in conjunction with the automaker rejoining the S&P 500 after the markets close Wednesday. It will coincide with the sale of 20 million shares held by a United Auto Workers medical trust fund and could lead to further capital actions, including a dividend.
So far, the government has recovered about $30.5 billion of the $50 billion it has invested in GM. The company's IPO shares were priced at $38; they will sell Thursday at $34.50 after dipping into the teens last summer.
"It does seem to be on track to book a loss, the $50 billion it put out versus the $30 billion recovered so far. Maybe it has another $9 billion or $10 billion total of stock but it looks on track to lose about $10 billion. However, the government has maintained all along its job was not to make money on this investment."—CNBC's Steve Liesman
21st Century's Sexiest Job
With more and more companies using big data, the demand for data analytic specialists—sometimes called data scientists, who know how to manage the tsunami of information, spot patterns within it and draw conclusions and insights—is nearing a frenzy.
The latent pool is roughly 20 percent demand and salaries start at $125,000 for right-out-of-school qualified applicants. Companies fear, though, that the better trained workers are for more specific big data tasks, the greater the risk becomes of the worker jumping ship for a higher-paying opportunity.
"People are slapping buzzwords on résumés and looking to get 50 or 100 percent more, and they're getting it. There are a lot of folks who can spell Hadoop and put it on their résumé and call themselves data scientists, and nothing can be further from the truth. We need, as an industry, to get that term defined."—Scott Gnau, president, Teradata Data Lab

8 Ways To Earn More Facebook Likes
With 1.11 billion potential shoppers actively using Facebook, businesses have been racing for ways to build their presence on the popular social network and engage those users with their brand. However, with so many businesses vying for interest, most Facebook users only interact with the companies who make it easy or provide an incentive to do so. Yet, businesses who earn customers' trust on Facebook essentially earn a qualified lead, so the benefit is huge.
To help companies earn clout on Facebook and generate the type of customer-focused and referral-based interactions necessary for repeat business in 2014, we have outlined 8 ways to earn more Likes on Facebook.
1) Post Quality Content: First and foremost, creating engaging content is the best way to generate brand buzz online. Seems so simple, right? Well, it's not. To truly surround a business with buzz, companies must continually create engaging content that it's demographics will latch on to, share, and hopefully encourage them to come back for more. Once users start seeing that level of quality content regularly, they'll be enticed to keep coming back and eventually Like that business page – adding said business to their own timeline and subsequently seeing all their posts from then on.
Some easy ways to tap into the mindset of your target audience are by using Google Trends or Facebook Graph Search. Google Trends allows users to search broad terms and turn up popular trending topics from their industry, from within the search network. Facebook Graph Search allows business owners to search amongst info offered by people who have liked their page.
2) Stay Consistent: Not only should business owners be actively publishing engaging content, they should be posting on Facebook regularly. Don't just post articles, then call it a successful social campaign. If business owners really want more Likes and action on their Facebook page, they must be regularly engage users.
They can do so by commenting on other business pages, their fans' pages, or simply by sharing content that's relevant to their business niche, which they feel will provide value to their followers. Posting consistently will reinforce the brand to users. If done well, the consistent posts will entice users to Like the business page and add said business to their Facebook Timeline – letting them see all their posts from then on.
3) Complete Your Business Profile: Facebook displays suggested business pages when a user searches for a specific business function (IE: 'Heating & Cooling'). Businesses can give themselves the best opportunity to appear in those suggested results by completing their Facebook business page profile. Adding details such as Operating Hours, Tagline and Industry will enhance the chances of users seeing the page and giving it a Like.
4) Homepage Pop-Up: Adding a pop-up app, such as Like Box, to a Volusion or WordPress site will position the business Facebook page in a way that is very noticeable to site shoppers, encouraging them to see their mass of Facebook friends (reinforcing that others also Like the brand) and easily Like the page. To refrain from being annoying, allow around 10-20 seconds to pass before having the Like Box appear on page.
5) Incentivized Pop-Up: Very similar to the Like Box app. However, the difference is that this feature uses a third party called Shop Socially to administer the set-up and costs and can offer an incentive, enticing shoppers to Like a business' Facebook page. To refrain from being annoying, allow around 10-20 seconds to pass before having the fly-out appear on page.
6) Facebook "Like" Ads: Although there are numerous types of ads Facebook offers, the "Like" ads are the most effective when trying to get more Likes. No surprise there. They work in two ways.
The first way is as second-hand referrals from Facebook (see above). They appear when people are using Facebook and show suggestions of pages they might like, based on friends' interests.
The second way they appear is strictly as a recommended page you should Like or check out (see above), suggested from Facebook as a promoted ad, within a user's news feed. For more specifics, please see set-up and pricing.
7) Post Engaging Images: In an era where Pinterest succeeds specifically on image sharing and Instagram has turned everyone into a professional photog, it's clear people love pictures. Businesses can capitalize on this trend by posting pictures of products in-use, niche-specific topics or even quotes in design form on their business Facebook page.
If the pictures are good enough, people will start to Like the photos themselves. If business owners can stay consistent in posting the pictures, people will start to like business Facebook pages posting them – so they can see those business pages regularly on their Facebook Timeline.
8) Run A Contest: This is one of the most fun ways to engage users to Like your business page. Plus, they won't bat an eye before actually hitting the Like button. However, the only difficulty with this option is that there must be a legitimate prize given away.
To start a contest, business owners must first generate the rules of said giveaway, spelling out the stipulations, requirements and prizes.Then, they should just make one of the rules in the contest that anyone who participates must Like the company's business page. If the prize is good enough and your audience is broad, Likes will start pouring in. Other contest options are available, as well.
It's our favorite time of year at Brand Labs!
Ugly holiday sweaters and home-made cookie contests aside, what spreads the most holiday cheer around Brand Labs is seeing clients sales skyrocket through November & December! It's true. We love seeing revenue records broken in 2013 and pushing strongly into 2014. We want nothing more than to call up a client only to have them tell us they're just too busy to talk right now due to the volume of orders they must fulfill.
This type of steady growth in internet retail year over year is an exciting trend… not just with our clients, but with the entire industry. In 2012, online holiday sales grew 14 percent compared to 2011. It was estimated they would increase by only 12 percent. Early estimates this season is a 15% increase over last year. Here's hoping your 4th quarter meets or exceeds your wildest expectations!
From all of us at Brand Labs to all of our clients, we wish you the best of holiday shopping seasons!
As promised, Volusion has raised the curtain on a handful of new rollouts. But, before we embark on an adjective frenzy to display our happiness for V13 updates like enhanced mobile capabilities, automatic tax rates, Volusion mobile apps and new storefront page editor, let's cut to the chase and get into some first-hand details. We spent the past week playing around with the different features and here are our findings.
Enhanced Mobile Commerce
With more people than ever buying directly from the phone or tablet, ecommerce stores should be putting their best foot forward on mobile devices. In order to help storeowners cater to on-the-fly buyers, Volusion has rolled out a long-awaited mobile commerce update.
Aside from minor aesthetics enhancements, the main functionality upgrade appears during checkout. On the old checkout process, mobile users would go through the buying cycle via a mobile-friendly version of the site. Then, when time came to complete the order, customers were redirected back to the non-mobile version of the checkout page.
Now, shoppers will see a mobile-friendly version of the desired site throughout the entire buying cycle, from start to cart. While functionality of the product and category pages are relatively untouched, the checkout process is now much easier to manage. No longer will users be required to expand tiny, non-mobile friendly buttons to go from page to page. Instead, they're served up a clean and seamless cart experience, which will inevitably get them through the process faster and increase conversion rates for site owners.
Furthermore, the upgrade gives owners the option to add custom field names for checkout pages, add custom contact information in the footer of checkout pages and the ability to display detected credit card type when customer enters credit card information.
How To Set-Up: To enable mobile enhancements, simply go into your Volusion admin dashboard, navigate to Design > Mobile, then under select 'on,' under Mobile Checkout.
New Storefront Page Editor
In the past, when Voluson users attempted to make seemingly easy aesthetics changes to their storefront, the process required an FTP upload or knowledge of HTML coding. Now, to help store owners offer timely updates and promotions, Volusion has unveiled the new Easy Editor for impromptu site alterations in both their store and admin area.
In the admin, the 'What You See Is What You Get' tool allows users to adjust HTML in product or category descriptions and article bodies with half the effort. For instance, say someone wants to add in a hyperlink to a specific product description, directing users to an associated item. Well, with Easy Editor, all they have to do is highlight the field, click Edit and a new toolbar will appear (similar to Word Press or Microsoft Word). Then, users can easily add in styling like hyperlinks, color, font adjustments and paragraph indentations – without having to know HTML at all, which had long been a drawback of field editing for our clients.
Another great way to use Easy Editor is when swapping out product pictures. Instead of having to use a FTP server as an intermediary between their site and computer, users can now add or replace pictures in the admin panel or storefront by selecting the 'Insert Image' icon and selecting the appropriate picture from their computer, or linking from a URL. From there, users can adjust the image further, by clicking 'Edit,' which allows them to resize the picture and add the appropriate tags. Adding updated product photos or pictures for Learning Center articles has never been easier.
Lastly, users can now make quick alterations to the hero image on their site, simply by hovering over them and clicking 'Edit'. For example, if a site were running a Christmas-themed special for the holidays, this feature would hypothetically allow users to replace their generic banner with a holiday-themed banner, without having to use FTP.
For a full list of the added alteration options that will help your brand implement timely taglines and prioritized promotions for customers, read Volusion's break-down of Easy Editor.
How To Set-Up: The features should be immediately implemented for up-to-date V13 users. Simply login to the admin interface, then browse around applicable areas and the Easy Editor options will become noticeable.
Automatic Tax Rates
In case anyone missed our blog post, Volusion has simultaneously solved all tax-related issues for eCommerce store owner's, by rolling out their new Automatic Tax Rates calculator.
Essentially, the tool factors in all up-to-date tax variables on a customer-by-customer basis, coming up with the proper taxation for every buyer. As a result, store owners can focus less on managing variable tax rates per client and spend more time enhancing other aspects of their business.
How To Set-Up: To enable Automatic Tax Rates, log in to the admin dashboard, then go to Settings > Tax, then click 'Settings.' From there, users will be asked a few location-based questions, then whether they want to implement Automatic Tax Rates, to which they'd select 'Use Automatic Tax Rates.'
Volusion Mobile Apps
Most ecommerce storeowners can't resist dipping into their dashboard. After all, a wealth of information about their business is only a login away and having up to date insight on their store status allows owners to adjust according to demand. Now, proactive owners can access vital store information even quicker, thanks to Volusion's new native mobile app.
Upon installing the app on their mobile phone or tablet, storeowners can easily access store specifics, such as orders, revenue, stock status and more. For most intensive purposes, the mobile app offers everything users get from their desktop version, aside from merchandising.
Considering how hard much time entrepreneurs spend on their phone already, the only problem this new rollout presents will be getting them off the darn things.
How To Set-Up: The Volusion app is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. To enable them, simply download, install and login with your store credentials.

Asking if Brand Labs loves ecommerce is like asking if Jeff Bridges makes awesome movies. The answer is obvious. (We are still debating on whether or not the Tron remake did the original justice, but we're also realists. We understand that even awesome things may not be awesome for everything. For example, The Dude will go down in history as one of the great characters in American cinema, while the whiny, sex-phobic math nerd Bridges played in The Mirror Has Two Faces just makes us sad.) That said, we're well aware ecommerce isn't 100% ideal for every, single purchase you make.
To help you avoid any potential problems that could arise from copping certain items off the Internet, here are ten purchases you might be better off making in person. You do remember how that works, right?
Dual-Site Shopping Carts Make Buying Meaningless Items Like Neckties That Much Easier
Typically, the only time we break out our neckties here at Brand Labs is if we're dressing up as Gomez during our monthly Addams Family-themed business meetings. On all other occasions, that whole cloth-choker-around-the-neck type deal isn't really our thing. But, being the ecommerce junkies we are, that doesn't mean we weren't intrigued when we heard that Ties.com and Scarves.com had implemented a shared shopping cart experience between their two sites.
According to an article from PRWeb, these two highly-trafficked, accessory-based online retailers have linked together to help customers laterally shop amongst their respective products with ease. Prior to this tag-team effort, certain companies like Banana Republic had implemented similar cross-selling strategies with partners, but what separates these two Wild Attire Inc. properties from their more notable competition is that their customers can seamlessly shop between both sites within the same tab and never lose their shopping cart spot when navigating from one property to another. The functionality is a minor addition to the domains, but has turned out a huge response. Despite launching this e-merger only this earlier this year, referral traffic from Ties.com to Scarves.com has already risen by 50%, while overall sales figures for 2012 could increase average order rates by 25%. Not too shabby for a couple places that sell loose fabric you wrap around your neck, huh?
Although we personally haven't bought any attire from either of the two sites, we did experiment with the navigation and agree that being able to bounce back and forth between carts while browing is quite nice and would definitely help keep our ideas intact while doing frantic and thoughtless Christmas shopping for ten people at once on December 23rd. Not like we would ever do that or anything.
What do you think, is a cross-selling shopping cart between two ecommerce retailers like this something you'd like to see more shops use? Or, is this just another feature you feel is simply trying to lure you into buying more products you don't need?
Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative Awards Over $60,000 in Prizes
The Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative (EEDI) will award two separate ecommerce service grants in 2012 – each worth more than $30,000 – in their first-ever ecommerce grant competition.
Rochester, MI – Brand Labs – a studio specializing in ecommerce design, marketing, development and programming – has gathered together an alliance of online professionals with the proclaimed goal of "rescuing" the struggling economy by "utilizing the power of ecommerce." The assembled group is called the Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative (or the EEDI).
We'll See You at IRCE 2012 Next Week!
That's right – Brand Labs will be exhibiting at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012 at McCormick Place West in Chicago, Illinois! We'll be in booth #1133 right next door to our besties, Volusion. Our biggest bigwigs, Kevin Harman and Dane Downer will be in attendance along with senior account managers Katelyn Stanis and Ryan Forrest. They'll be working the booth all day and the dance floor all night. You should definitely drop by if you're looking for some high-quality ecommerce knowledge or some wicked sick dubstep.
Also in attendance will be Pauline Turner, our creative director. She'll be roaming the show floor and attending conferences as part of the Ecommerce Economic Defense Initiative street team. She'll be accompanied by an impossibly large hippie who may or may not be some sort of ex-convict that we hired as a temp off of craigslist. If you see them, be sure to ask for the official EEDI swag that they'll be handing out.
So if you're an existing customer, but we've never met in person, come to booth 1133 and say hi! If you're not a customer yet, come by to find out why you should be. As a matter of fact, no matter who you are you should stop by! We can tell you about the huge contest we're about to launch. It's really huge. Like change-the-course-of-your-business huge. It's worth your time.
… and if you see the giant hippie, don't look him directly in the eyes.
Brand Labs is about a lot of things, but our real bread & butter is custom ecommerce development. Yes, we design Volusion sites. Yes, we build ecommerce apps. We do a lot of things for a lot of online merchants, but custom development is the one thing we do that gives our clients an undeniable edge. We say "undeniable" because when your store has something that your competitors don't have, you're ahead of the game before the shoppers even arrive. By definition, you're more prepared to serve their needs. You're more prepared to earn their trust. You're more prepared to win.
… but maybe you don't think you need custom development on your site. After all, Volusion does a good job of providing a feature-rich platform. Why not just do what you can with what you've got? Well, off the top of our heads, we can think of ten reasons…
- You're unique.
No matter what Volusion introduces, they don't know you personally. They don't know the exact thing that you need to express your individuality properly. They don't know your particular value proposition. That's not a failing on their part, it's simply a fact. You are uniquely qualified to identify your store's specific needs and to act on those needs.
- You're not doing everything you can with your Volusion store. You know that smart phone in your pocket? You're currently using about 4% of its total capabilities (we may have just made that figure up). That phone can do amazing things and you're using it primarily to text people that you're running late. Your Volusion store is like that. It can do amazing things that you're currently not using. Are you using the Deal of the Day function? Is your mobile store set up properly? Are you doing everything that Volusion allows you to do out of the box? Probably not. So, if we may continue to use the smart phone comparison: even though your phone is capable of doing a lot of things that you aren't using, you still paid extra to download Angry Birds because it was a specific need that you were able to identify and address (i.e. your deep need to throw birds at pigs). Custom development is like that. You should definitely try to use all of the great functionality that's built right in to Volusion, but just because you're not, that doesn't mean that you can't add some features of your own. Custom development for your Volusion store is just like apps for your iPhone.
- You've got ideas.
Just because we're ecommerce experts (and Volusion is filled with ecommerce experts), that doesn't mean that we (or they) have thought up every single thing than could ever possibly be thunk. You have insight. You have a plan. You know things about your business that we don't, but we definitely know how to act on your ideas. Don't let your ideas die in your head.
- You're probably right.
You know that one thing that you think you know better than anyone else? That one annoying thing that seems so simple and would make your life as an ecommerce merchant so much easier? Or make your store more successful? You're probably right. Why not fix it instead of just letting it drive you insane?
Read the rest of the list after the jump… (more…)
We're Going to Make You Cry, Then (While You're Emotionally Vulnerable) We're Going to Talk About Ecommerce In a Way That May Seem Crass In Context, But We Assure You That Our Motives Are Pure, So Just Go With It
While searching the Internet this morning for important new pictures of baby sloths, we stumbled on the video we've posted below. Before you play it, we'd like to warn you about a few things. First, it's eleven minutes long. Second, you're going to want to watch all of it. Finally, unless your heart is a tiny, ice-cold cinder, you're going to cry. We're misting up just thinking about it, but that might be because we're also listening to Sarah McLachlan, so we're probably thinking about that frigging animal shelter commercial that always drops like a bomb into the middle of whatever lighthearted romp you're watching on TV and brings your life to a screeching halt while you scrape together all of your change to donate just so you can make all the big-eyed homeless puppies stop crying in HD all up in your grill.
The video below is the opposite of that. Enjoy.
Caine's Arcade from Nirvan Mullick on Vimeo.
Okay… now just pull yourself together now so we can talk about this like the totally composed businesspeople we are. So, that was deeply charming on a lot of levels – the boundless and inspiring enthusiasm of youth, the near-universal love of The Arcade and the way that something so frivolous can bind us all at such a basic level, the unqualified support of a working class father for his son's passion project, the pride of accomplishment – there's a lot of real genuine heart-string-plucking going on here.
… but did you notice how no one gave a crap about Caine's Arcade until a savvy outsider stepped in and started a social media campaign in support of it? Did you further notice that Caine's Arcade also benefited from the Holy Grail of viral luck – an appearance on the front page of reddit? The Internet basically prevented this from being an incredibly sad or possibly even heart-crushingly tragic story. Let's talk about how all of this could have played out after the jump…
Neater Feeder is a lot of things – Volusion retailer, award-winning pet product, TV star…
That's right, Brand Labs customer and Volusion merchant, Neater Feeder was featured on the Today show yesterday in a segment called "Jill$ Steals and Deals." In cooperation with NBC, Neater Feeder offered a one-day-only discount resulting in a 5000% increase in daily sales – proving that the camera doesn't just add 10 pounds, it also adds about a bazillion sales.
In anticipation of the appearance, we created a promotion-specific landing page and Volusion moved Neater Feeder to a dedicated server. Even with that level of preparation, the site was still nearly crushed by the massive onslaught of customers trying their level best to stuff fistfuls of cash directly into their computers.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A prosecutor told a federal judge in Las Vegas that more indictments may come after 14 defendants pleaded guilty in a sweeping federal investigation of southern Nevada homeowner associations steering business to favored attorneys and businesses.
The assembly line-style proceedings Thursday in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas brought to 25 the number of people who have pleaded guilty since last year in an ongoing HOA fraud and corruption probe focusing on rigged elections that packed homeowner association boards with co-conspirators between 2003 and 2009.
Two people linked to the case have died in apparent suicides this year.
Fifteen defendants were scheduled to take part in the group plea deal, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Friday. But one defendant's appearance was postponed due to illness.
Halfway into the proceedings, Charles La Bella, a top Washington, D.C.-based Justice Department fraud prosecutor, told Judge James Mahan that he planned to continue presenting evidence to a federal grand jury this summer.
Among those pleading guilty Thursday were two former attorneys, three retired Las Vegas police officers, a former homeowner community manager and several people who admitted they served as straw buyers.
Each pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution. Combined, they agreed to pay more than $1.2 million to victims. Some defendants are on the hook for about $6,000. Others, almost $370,000.

HIS HAND CAME DOWN UPON MY CHEEK HARD AND FAST. Stunned, I staggered backward.
"Look at all dis cotton you left behind, gal!" I looked up to see the overseer's hand nearing my face again. I flinched as he smacked me once more, sending me to my knees. I stared at the ground, seven years' worth of hard labor in the fields burning under my veil of obedience.
"Next time I find you skippin' ova cotton like it don't matta nothin' in the world to you, you gonna find yo'self beaten, gal, you understand me?"

I AWOKE WITH A START. MARY WAS SHAKING ME SO HARD I felt dizzy.
"Sarah, chile, get up! Missus want you workin' in the house."
"Doin' what?" I asked with a wide yawn, wondering why Mary was trying to wake me before my usual morning hour.
"Jus' normal housework firs' part've the day, an' back in the fields fo' the rest," Daniel explained for her. He was always up earlier than the two of us, carving something out of wood. I lifted myself slowly from under the rags that served as my blanket and gazed at my brother.

LED TVs are a type of LCD TV that use LED lights to illuminate the screen. In full-array LED TVs the light emitting diodes are embedded across the entire back of the panel, while other models are edge-lit, where the LEDs are arranged around the sides of the panel and illumination is directed toward the center. Most LED TVs feature local dimming, meaning that the individual lights can be adjusted independently.
In general, the full-array offers the best picture quality, but edge-lit offers a slimmer design and the local dimming technology is becoming more advanced on the edge-lit LED TVs. Of all the choices in TVs today, the LEDs offer the best energy efficiency with many exceeding the energy star rating which translates into savings in your pocket. The local dimming technology increases this efficiency. Reviews for the best rated LED TVs can be found on Consumer Reports (subscription required), Amazon, and Cnet. Here are our picks for the best LED TVs including estimated annual energy cost.
Vizio XVT553SV Tru Led TV
The Vizio XVT553SV Tru Led TV received a best buy from Consumer Reports with loads of features for the money and was the 2010 editor's choice from Cnet, who called it the "best value among high-end LED-based LCD TVs today". Though Vizio has been considered a budget LCD TV company, they've made a name for themselves by making quality products that have pleased their customers. The 55 inch 1080p HDTV screen on this model is one of the few to use full array LED backlit illumination. It features smart dimming technology to control the LEDs and produce blur-free clarity.
Integrated Wi-Fi gives you access to Vizio Internet Apps (VIA) which includes access to streaming movies from Amazon, Netflix, and Vudu. Also features a universal Bluetooth remote with slide-out Qwerty keyboard. The only negative from Consumer Reports was the sound quality was said to be below that of most other TVs this size. They gave sound quality a fair rating, but gave picture quality an excellent rating. This model exceeds the current Energy Star guidelines by 50% and the LEDs do not contain mercury. The estimated annual energy cost from Consumer Reports is $52, that's with a daily use of 8 hours without using the energy saving mode.
The Vizio XVT553SV Tru Led TV is currently on sale at Amazon for $1,699.98.
Recommended by Consumer Reports, the LG 5400 series of LED TVs features 1080p full HD resolution with TruMotion 120 HZ technology for no motion blur. The 42 inch model shown is backlit by inward-projecting LED lights embedded around the edges to make this TV energy efficient and ultra-slim. Other features include Picture Wizard and Intelligent Sensor which automatically adjusts the pictures to your surroundings, internet access with Wi-Fi adapatability for access to Netflix, CinemaNow, Vudu, YouTube, Picasa Photos, and Pandora Internet Radio, and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
Consumer Reports liked the LG 5400 for it's excellent versatility and ease of use. They gave the picture quality a very good rating and the sound quality a good rating. Cnet hasn't reviewed this product yet, but you can read another review at PCMag. Metaefficient likes the energy star rating estimated annual energy cost of $25 per year as well as the price itself.
The 42LE5400 LED TV retails for around $1,400, but is currently on sale at Amazon for $899.99.
Sony Bravia KDL-46HX800 LED TV
The least expensive of Sony's new line of 3D HD LED TVs is the HX800. The LED scheme on this model is edge-lit with local dimming, which means the LEDs are placed around the sides of the TV and can be dimmed independently within zones. Local dimming is typically only found in the full-array LED configuration, so this technology is fairly new. The 46 inch Sony Bravia shown features 1080p HD resolution, Motionflow 240HZ technology, and is 3D capable, though you'd need to purchase the glasses and 3D sync transmitter. It's Wi-Fi adapter ready with access to Bravia internet including Neflix, Amazon Video, YouTube, Crackle, and Pandora Internet Radio.
Consumer Reports gave the picture quality and versatility an excellent rating. They liked the 3D effect, though it wasn't perfect and had noticeable ghosting at times. All in all, it's a reasonably priced LED TV from a high-end brand that will give you excellent picture quality and an estimated energy cost of $33 per year.
You can get the 46 inch Sony Bravia HX800 LED TV on Amazon for $1,499.
Samsung UN46C8000 LED TV
With the Samsung UN46C8000 LED TV you'll get a chic, uber-thin (just under an inch) design and superior picture quality to other edge-lit LED TVs, yet with a retail price of $2,799.99 you'll pay for it. Amazon has it currently on sale for $1,648.00, which is quite a savings. The LEDs can be locally dimmed. Features 1080p and 240HZ no-blur technology, 3D capability with separate purchase of glasses, and wireless connection to Samsung Smart TV with access to video, games, and social networking.
If the 3D feature is your priority, you may want to look elsewhere. Both Cnet and Consumer Reports found the 3D effect had considerable ghosting along the edges. However, Amazon reviewers love it, especially the abundance of features comparable to other TVs. This 46 inch model exceeds the energy star qualification with an estimated cost of $38 per year.
The Samsung UN46C8000 is on sale on Amazon for $1,648.00. (You'll need to actually put the item in your cart to see this price.)
This 37 inch LED edge-backlit TV from Vizio is perfect for a small to medium sized room and will save you money on energy cost and give you a lot of features for the money. Consumer Reports reviewed the 32 inch model giving picture quality and viewing angle an excellent rating, but sound quality was only fair. Features a full 1080p HD resolution and TruVolume technology which controls volume inconsistencies between programming. Since the LEDs are arranged on the side, the set is a mere 1.7 inches thick. Amazon reviewers have given the Vizio M370NV LED TV an average 4.5 star rating. A great value all around, this TV has an estimated $20 per year energy cost.
The Vizio M370NV LED TV is currently on sale at Amazon for $529.99.
Like the Vizio XVT553SV, the LG Infinia 47 inch 8500 uses full array LED backlighting with local dimming capability. Even with the LEDs behind the screen, the set is still slim at 1.4 inches. Features the full HD 1080p screen with 240HZ technology and internet access to LG's Netcast Entertainment which includes Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, Picasa, and Yahoo widgets. The LG Infinia is recommended by Cnet for excellent picture quality, though one flaw they did notice was the unevenness of the backlighting and some reflectiveness especially in bright rooms. Overall though, the full array, independently adjustable LEDs of the LG Infinia help to create an unrivaled picture clarity and is one of the highest rated LED TVs on Amazon. Read the user reviews here. The estimated energy cost is $22 per year.
The LG Infinia 47LE8500 retails for $2,699.99, but is currently on sale at Amazon for $1,499.95.

SlowCheetah might be a bit buggy to set up, but once it works its great!
Conflicts with ReSharper 8.1. Had to Suspend and Resume Resharper because I could not edit any file after applying a template
I spent an afternoon trying to get this going for a team project. After a fair while thrashing with the already-mention
Nice integration with VS. Makes a chore much more manageable.
Excelent tool! Thank you very much.
An invaluable addition to Visual Studio! Totally beats editing project files by hand. Well done!
Very nice tool, keep up the good work.
facing error -
amazing, cant believe I haven't found this sooner!
Excellent work -- so far only one major problem with web applications (solved here: http://stackove
It works in vsnet 2012, but NOT on the TFS build server. I did not installed the plugin on the built server
Sayed-Ibrahim-Hashimi September 21 2013
Hi e.sabbadin, when you install SlowCheetah into a project there is a message in the package manager console regarding build server support. Because of the way NuGet package restore is implemented there is some additional steps that need to be taken. You can read more info on how to enable that at http://sedodrea
It really annoys me that after an upgrade Slow Cheetah suddenly stopped working. In the first instance I was really pleased with this tool, but I can not use it when it is this buggy. It is a shame that there are no other tools doing the transformations
Sayed-Ibrahim-Hashimi September 14 2013
Did you file a question in Q&A regarding your issue?
Highly recommended!
Release 18.104.22.168 simply sucks. It cannot even build project by throwing error - Could not copy the file"...exe.con
Sayed-Ibrahim-Hashimi September 14 2013
Sorry I had some issues with 184.108.40.206. Things should be better with 2.5.8, can you try and let me know? FYI regarding installing older versions you can always use the NuGet package manager console to install a specific version of the build support.
