Well, we've come to the end of another title in my CSS series. I want to thank you for watching CSS: Styling Navigation, and I hope you become inspired to look for meaningful ways that you can improve your site's navigation through CSS. Before you go, I want to leave you with a few tools and resources that I think will help you learn more about how CSS can enhance site navigation. So I'm in this additional resources.htm file, and if you have access to the exercise files, if you look in the 07_01 directory, you'll find this page. So you can just open it up and have quick access to these links.
If not, if you're just watching this, you should see an overlay show up that's going to give you a link to the page as well. Well, if you've taken any of my CSS courses, you've probably already seen this page, the CSS Current Work Page. This is one of my favorite pages, it's bookmarked, I read it all the time, but what this is is it's a quick snapshot of what's going on with all of the different CSS specifications. It tells you kind of where they are, what's been added to them, how they've changed, how far along the process of being supportive they are. So this is a fantastic place to learn more about what's currently being worked on, on CSS and really stay ahead of the game in terms of what's coming.
The next resource I want to take you to is the WebAIM's guide to link accessibility. This is WebAIM, an organization dedicated to accessibility, and if you go to their page and browser articles you're going to find this article on Links and Hypertext. And what's awesome about this article, this page has a lot of great information about how to make sure that all of your site navigation remains accessible to anybody that uses your site. This is definitely a page you want to go through and study all the different ways that you can make your links accessible. Next, I want to take you to an article in Smashing Magazine by Lee Munroe called The Definitive Guide to Styling Web Links.
The thing that I really like about this article is it gives a nice overview of a lot of the best practices around styling links. It's going to give you some examples, it's going to go over different aspects of designing site navigation, and it's going to have links to external resources. So definitely check this article out, it's got a lot of really super-useful information in it. Next, I want to take you back to the WebAIM's site and show you their Color Contrast Checker. So what's really cool about this is let's say you come up with a color scheme for your site, you can come to this page, plug in the colors, especially when you're going to have two colors that are right on top of each other like foreground or background, and you can check their contrast to make sure that people with color blindness or other vision disabilities can still tell the difference between those two items.
That's incredibly important, because if you have two colors that are too low in terms of contrast, people with certain types of colorblindness are going to have a really hard time discerning between the background and the link. So, in order to make sure that your site is usable by everybody that visits it, you want to check your color schemes against this type of a Color Contrast Checker. So this is definitely something you want to bookmark and use often. Next up, I have a tool that we just got done using up too long ago, and that would be the Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator. We used this a little bit earlier when we were creating our buttons, and I got to tell you I use this all the time.
So definitely you want to bookmark this and use it just to save yourself a lot of time when you're creating gradients and to make sure that the syntax is going to be correct. Next, I have a tool that I pointed you to in the lab but we didn't actually use, and I wanted to show you this. This is the CSS3 Generator by Randy Jensen, and I love this tool. Now what's great about this is you choose whatever property you want to be able to kind of experiment with, let's say box shadow because we were using that earlier. So now I can choose whether or not I want it to be inset, I could play around with different values like the Horizontal Length and the Vertical Length, I'll go ahead and enter a color in here so we can sort of preview this.
I'll go ahead and give it Blur Radius, let's say you do a blur radius of 10, and then we'll do a spread of say 5. And as soon as you start plugging those values in, you're going to get a preview of here, and you can start changing those values, so you can really get a good field for what these values are going to do and how it's going to integrate into the element that you're trying to style. And what's really cool about it is you're going to get some code right down here that you can just click, copy, and then paste into your own CSS, and it's going to tell you which versions of browsers support this so that makes it really handy to make sure that you're going to be as cross- browser compliant as possible.
Another one of my favorite tools is Adobe Kuler. One of the things that I find kind of difficult is coming up with a color scheme for my site, especially for navigation. So what's great about Kuler is they have a lot of preset colors that people have saved, but you can just go ahead and start your own. You can click right here to go to the editor, and you can click a color, and you can certainly change it if you want, set that as your Base Color, and then you can use all of these different rules like Monochromatic, Complimentary Compound, you can use shades of the color, you can change the brightness and the darkness of it, and it's going to give you different values for this.
HSV, it's going to give you RGB, it's going to give you hex values so you can copy and paste those in, and you can sort of play around with these color schemes to see how they work together before you commit to using them in your site. So I love Kuler, it's a tool that I use all the time. I also wanted to show you guys CSS Sprites, which is a nice little tool for generating sprites. You know, if you have Illustrator, and you have Photoshop, and you feel like creating those on your own, you certainly can, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you'd like you can use a tool like this, and there are a lot of them online, but this is one that I actually really like, but certainly if you go ahead to Google, Google CSS sprites generator, you're going to see a ton of these schools.
And essentially, the way most of these work is you upload multiple graphics, and these will stitch them together in a sprite for you, generate the sprite which you can then download and then generate the CSS code that allows you to access the different graphics within the sprite. So that way there's no guessing as to, what I need to use to position this particular icon, and these tools work really, really well, they are a great way to save a little bit of time. So kind of experiment those tools see if you like them and see if they fit your workflow. And of course, the last resource I am going to point you to is lynda.com.
You know, if you want to continue learning CSS, I recommend checking out all the other CSS related titles in the lynda.com online training library. We have a variety CSS courses structured around both authoring tools, in general concepts and the library continues to grow every single day. Now if you started here in this course, I recommend actually going back and checking out the CSS Fundamentals, CSS Core Concepts and the CSS Page Layout courses. Of course, keep an eye out for all of the courses in our CSS series.
Just look for CSS: and then a course name. We're going to continue to add new courses in the CSS series, so be sure to check back the library often for new releases. Once again, thanks for watching, and I'll see you in my next title.

What distinguishes Don Tequila from the vast majority of Mexican-themed restaurants in Western New York?
Geography, certainly. It's in Orchard Park, which makes it the only Mexican place in town.
When it comes to the menu, though, there's not many unusual offerings in its collection of best-hits Mexican. Don Tequila offers the usual mix-and-match combinations of burritos, chimichangas, quesadillas, tamales, enchiladas, taquitos and chalupas, and dinner plates built around pork chops, braised pork, shrimp, steak and chicken breast.
If a restaurant's food is satisfying, predictability isn't a grievous flaw, though. Don Tequila succeeds at delivering most of Western New York American-Mexican cuisine's basics with dispatch.
The place has a barroom facing the street, so you walk into a tavern setting. You can find your way through to the large dining room, or enter through an alley on the side of the building.
Our server brought us warm, salty tortilla chips and a carafe of thin salsa, which had a bit of crunch and only a tickle of heat. It was juicy enough to lightly coat chips, not a scoopable salsa.
The jumbo $3 margaritas were tangy, sweet and refreshing, but not too heavy on the tequila. That might be a good thing if you have to drive, but not if you're hell-bent on a budget buzz.
The guacamole ($3.75) featured chunky avocado, onion, tomato, green bell pepper and fresh cilantro, much to Cat's approval. "I hate guacamole that has nothing to it," she said. When we used up our tortilla chips, the server quickly brought more. Throughout the meal, service was prompt and attentive.
We ordered a cocktail de camarones, or shrimp cocktail ($11.95), looking for a walk on the wild side. What arrived was a large goblet holding about 15 thumb-sized poached shrimp, in spicy tomato juice with onion, cilantro and chunks of avocado, that were a bit stiff, unlike the guacamole. The shrimp were crisp and soaked up the Mexican flavors well, making it a welcome appetizer for shrimp cocktail lovers tired of the usual horseradish.
Chicken enchiladas with mole sauce ($7.25) was three tortillas rolled around moist, shredded chicken. The sweet, sticky brown mole sauce left an impression of cinnamon and chili, almost like Mexican hot chocolate. It wasn't the most deeply flavored mole I've had, but it still satisfied.
An order of three carne asada tacos ($10.99) arrived with the tacos individually wrapped in foil. The tortillas held plenty of beefsteak, onions and cilantro. A little dish of pico de gallo was fresh and crunchy, supplying brightness. Unfortunately, the beef was chewier than I prefer.
A choripollo plate ($11.25), with thinly cut chicken filet topped with queso cheese sauce and crumbled chorizo (or Mexican sausage), was a guilty pleasure. The savory duo of spiced pork and cheese melted together to turn the lean chicken breast into a thrill ride, albeit a salty one.
Like most of Don Tequila's dinner plates, it came with beans and rice. The smooth refried beans were decently creamy and earthy. The Mexican rice mixture, dotted with peas and corn, featured rice that was firm and moist.
I asked for the carnitas dinner ($12.99), and got a pile of pork chunks with sauteed onions, with more beans and rice on the side. The pork was tender enough – you could shred it with a fork – but I prefer carnitas cooked with more spices. I wished I had more of that pico de gallo.
The cooking is mostly satisfactory, and the prices are reasonable. Don't expect it to rival your favorite place in San Antonio, but Don Tequila should hit the spot for diners craving Mexican in the Southtowns.

Just a few years ago, the town of Manchester, Ky., was torn apart by drugs and corruption. But residents have since experienced revival.
Thousands of people marched through the streets of Manchester in May 2004, telling drug dealers to "get saved or get busted."
Doug Abner, pastor of Community Church in Manchester, said when the city prayed and asked God to forgive them for letting the enemy take over their town, God's presence showed up in a powerful way.
"First of all, when 63 churches in a small county marched through town together, for us, that was bigger than the parting of the Red Sea," he said.
"And you can talk to the 3,500 or 4,000 people that were there and everybody tears up," Abner recalled. "It was just an awesome thing that happened, and then from that -- all of a sudden the church had a voice in our community."

HARRISBURG - Think it's OK to enter that Super Bowl betting pool offered down at the local fire hall or VFW post?
The Pennsylvania State Police says it's not. But a Lehigh Valley legislator begs to differ.
On the Senate floor Tuesday, Sen. Lisa Boscola (D., Lehigh) stood up and tore into the state police, contending the agency was refusing to recognize a new law that allows charitable and volunteer clubs to offer small betting pools on events involving "natural persons or animals."

Liberian president praises UN volunteer teachers
09 August 2006
Monrovia, Liberia: Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf launched University of Liberia's Public Policy Forum and recognized over 30 UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) staff members who are volunteering as professors. She also dedicated the refurbished University of Liberia Auditorium, financed by the Government's Quick Impact Projects programme.
Recognizing UNMIL staff members who have volunteered to teach at the University, President Johnson Sirleaf said: "I congratulate you, I commend you and I thank you for this service to our people that goes beyond that which you already do in the service of your various positions. For sharing your intellect with our young people, we hope in return you get from them something that enriches your own capacity and deepens your experience."
President Johnson-Sirleaf commended the University for reviving the Public Policy Forum and challenged the academic staff to make the Forum as interesting and dynamic as it was during the pre-war era, and provide an opportunity for substantive study of policy issues and strategies required to move the country forward.
The SRSG said that UNMIL was neither a development institution nor an education programme, as the Mission's principal role is to help secure and consolidate peace, without which the education system cannot be rebuilt in Liberia. "We take this opportunity to again remind people that UNMIL will continue to act vigorously to deal with any threats to the peace. We have the capacity and the will to do so. We cannot allow the massive investment that the people of this country and the international community has made, to be lost.
Commending UNMIL staff for volunteering to work with the University, Mr. Doss said UNMIL will do its part to work with the Government to ensure young Liberian's have access to a bright future, in a peaceful, stable and prosperous Liberia.
The 34 men and women from UNMIL will teach a variety of subjects including Engineering, Law, Business Administration, International Relations; Political Science, Social Science, Economics, Environmental Management and Information Technology.

ATLANTIC CITY — For the past six months, male visitors to Marya Kennett's ballet studio in Goshen, N.Y., have been acting, well, just a bit odd.
"Sometimes, when I'm teaching class, I'll look up and notice the fathers (of her pupils) peeking through the door at me with this strange look on their faces," Kennett said. "It's a look that says, 'That's her. She's the one.'
"And the little boys will come up and, you know, get into a boxing stance. It's so cute."

Texas Schools Find Ways to Adapt Grades to STAAR
In the spring, the state's approximately 350,000 ninth-graders will be the first to take the end-of-course exams that are part of Texas' new standardized testing system known as STAAR, or the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness.
The tests, which advocates say provide a much-needed update to the state's accountability system, will be more rigorous by all accounts. There will also be more of them. And, for the first time, students' scores on the exams will count 15 percent toward their final grades in the corresponding course.
It sounds straightforward. But how some districts are applying the ...

Gazing into the Crystal Ball
Deaglán de Bréadún
There's a very interesting piece by Peter Wilby in last Monday's Media Guardian. It's 25 years since that paper first carried a Media page, which later became a supplement. This was a special edition to mark that anniversary.
Christy Burke with the late Mother Theresa and followed by the late Tony Gregory and current Minister of State at the Dept of Education, Sean Haughey (Photograph, amazingly not published, by Matt Kavanagh)
Wilby went back to the papers from 25 years before. His basic finding (to read the article, click here) was that, unlike now, they were essentially devoted to recording events that had happened in the previous 24 hours. There was little or no comment or analysis.
That has changed. The Irish Times, for example, has two pages of opinion pieces, in addition to the Leaders and Letters Page. People get most of their headline news from TV and radio and, increasingly, the Internet and there is less and less point in newspapers repeating what everybody already knows.
That heightens the need for print journalists to get something that wasn't on the Nine O'Clock News the night before. An old-fashioned scoop, as it were. There is also a greater need for analysis, to put events in context – although I am conscious of the wellworn jibe that, "What the Telegraph reports today, the Guardian analyses tomorrow."
In fairness to the "Torygraph", it has been leading the way with style on the scandal of politicians' expenses. This is an oldfashioned scoop of the kind that Joe Pulitzer or William Randolph Hearst would have been proud.
The details of how the information was obtained remain obscure and one looks forward to finding out more about this in due course. There are suggestions that some elements in the political establishment might seek to prosecute the newspaper but there would clearly be a very strong public-intereste defence in that case.
Increasingly, also, journalists are expected to make predictions – accurate ones – about future developments, thereby demonstrating that they have their "finger on the pulse".
But as Hollywood mogul Sam Goldwyn said, "Predictions are hard to make – especially about the future." How right he was.
It doesn't take a genius to predict that George Lee is going to win the Dublin South byelection. There could always be a major screw-up which turned people off but barring such an extraordinary development, he will be Fine Gael TD for that constituency in a few weeks. How galling for the likes of Labour's Alex White, who has been on the campaign trail for so long already. More and more folk are remarking on the glint in George's eye: his Messianic zeal remains unabated from his RTE days.
Dublin Central is a conundrum. The Bert, as previously stated, could conceivably pull it off for brother Maurice, although that may be a bridge to far even for the "most cunning, most skilful, etc." of them all. But who is going to take the seat then? Fine Gael's Paschal Donohoe has been campaigning, it seems, since before the Flood. But it's a Leftie seat, the heritage of the late Tony Gregory. The "Gregory Candidate", Maureen O'Sullivan, should poll fairly well but the boys and girls in the back snug don't think she can make it. Ivana Bacik has a multiplicity of positive polital qualities but does not live in the constituency and has arrived somewhat late on the scene. The name that is starting to surface, believe it or not, is Christy Burke, formally and technically (I can't say "officially" because that might suggest he was a "Stickie"!) Sinn Féin but possessed of a wider, Ronnie Drew-type appeal.
My prediction for this one: Too Close to Call. Call me a wimp if you like, but it's literally true.

Looks like it's the guys' season to lose on American Idol. Some of the singers expected to be strong contenders stumbled during their first live performance, just as so many women did Tuesday. But the ones who sang well seemed almost effortless as they did.
"Don't get knocked off your game by all the bright lights," Harry Connick Jr. told them at the top of the show. A few did, but the ones that didn't really shone brightly enough that most of this season's women could have a hard time hanging with them.
Connick also continued to offer musical education throughout the night, praising Alex Preston for "ending on the nine," a reference to the voicing of the final chord he played on his guitar. Later, he name-checked the great jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt after Malcolm Allen's performance.
The Idol judges had a bit of finessing to do when it came to selecting their Top 10. After all, Ben Briley had made the Top 15 by the skin of his teeth the night before, since the judges put his spot in the semifinals up for vote. But Ryan Seacrest noted that the judges came to their choices Wednesday only after watching the dress rehearsal.
"We saw all 15 of our guys perform to make sure we had the Top 10 together," Urban said.
The five semifinalists eliminated without getting to perform were Ethan Harris, Jordan Brisbane, Casey Thrasher, Briston Maroney and Maurice Townsend.
Here's how I rated the guys who got to perform:
Sam Woolf — Babylon, David Gray. Unlike most of the other singers who showed their effort with the grimace on their faces, Woolf just made his performance look easy. As usual, his pitch and tone was spot on. "The people like you, Sam," said Keith Urban. "And with good reason. Your voice is just money." He expects him to get better and better — and he's pretty great already. Jennifer Lopez also noted how many people have already fallen in love with him and also complimented his song choice. Connick thinks he might could make some tiny tweaks to improve and gain small degrees of confidence. If that happens, he'll be pretty much unbeatable.
Alex Preston — Volcano, Damien Rice. Preston picked a song he loved to let the audience vote on him based on an honest presentation. And he's got the singer-songwriter thing down pat. "That was probably the best song choice of the night," Urban told him. "That was a song you could have written." Lopez thought the audience responded to the groove and thinks Preston is in his own lane, stylistically. Connick liked that he ended on the nine, a music-scale joke that Ryan Seacrest made him explain.
Dexter Roberts — This Ole Boy, Craig Morgan. As Connick said before his performance, Roberts has been one of the season's most consistent performers. And he seemed to enjoy his performance more than any other singer of the night, grinning as he sang the rapid-fire lyrics. "You are the real-deal, legit, fully fledged country boy from Alabama," Urban said. Like Connick, he said Roberts has to figure out what distinguishes him from Morgan and the thousand other guys fronting country bands across the nation. But Lopez thinks the "easy and cool way" he has about him will carry him for a while.
C.J. Harris — Shelter, Ray LaMontagne. One of the 'Bama Boys, Harris picked a song, and a brown hat, that suited his style. But mentor Chris Daughtry was right — his amateurish guitar player played against the rhythms of his singing, which hurt the effectiveness of his performance. Even so, Lopez said, "I hope we get to see you for the rest of the competition," Lopez said. Connick told him he has a tendency to sing sharp, even though his performances override that problem. Urban called him a combination of Dobie Gray and Jonny Lang, an apt description.
Caleb Johnson — Stay With Me, The Faces. Johnson's a good journeyman bar singer, but there's nothing distinctive about his '70s-rooted blues-rock style. He's professional and confident, but there's nothing special about him as a performer. In a week where more immature singers may stumble because of nerves, that may be enough. "You're so natural, and that was a perfect song," Urban tells him. Connick found Johnson's performance a strong way to start the show.
Spencer Lloyd — Love Don't Die, The Fray. Lloyd began promisingly on a song that needs an explosive moment at the chorus, and he just didn't have it. He knows how to play to the crowd, but he's just not the belter that the song demands. 'Your song choice is going to be really, really important as you go through," Urban said, adding that it wasn't his best performance. Lopez also noted that he moved the crowd, but she avoided commenting on his vocals. Connick did: "This is not your strong suit."
Malcolm Allen — Her Heart, Anthony Hamilton. Allen admitted to Randy Jackson that stage presence was a problem for him, and it showed like maybe no other contestant in the show's recent history. He spent almost the entire performance with his back to the camera, to the point where the director finally gave up and started showing long shots, the judges, the other contestants, anything but the awkwardness that was Allen. Shame, too, because he's one of the best pure singers in the competition. But he had no clue where the cameras were. Connick also said he sang the exact same runs over and over again, and he sang them sharp. Urban thinks he would've felt the performance more if he had kicked out the band and emphasized the lyrics more.
George Lovett — Grenade, Bruno Mars. Lovett turns Bruno Mars' very adaptable song into a triplet ballad for its verse, then went into a halftime feel for the chorus. As an arrangement, it didn't have much going for it other than simply being a change of pace, but Lovett sang it intensely — maybe too intensely. Lopez thinks he's one of the best singers but didn't have full control of his runs. Connick thought he was so passionate, his voice spun out of control. Urban didn't think Grenade was a song that played to Lovett's strengths as a singer.
Ben Briley — Soulshine, Allman Brothers Band. Briley came out courting Vol Nation, wearing a University of Tennessee ballcap backwards and singing Southern rock. He was doing just fine until his guitar solo, which was ridiculously sloppy. "That's gotta be the first shredded solo we've seen on American Idol," Urban said afterwards. Ouch.
Emmanuel Zidor — The Best of My Love, The Emotions. Zidor started strong, with a '70s soul tune associated with female singers. But he wore out halfway through the number, and he struggled to stay on pitch at the end. "You've got all the bigness there, you've got all the giant performance ability there," Connick told him. "You're a great singer — don't forget to sing." Urban agreed (though Lopez didn't), saying the adrenaline helped his physical performance but also caused his pitch problems. Lopez thinks of him more as a powerhouse singer — and made him sing a few bars of I'm Going Down — and she hopes America remembers more of what he did in Hollywood. 'Cause what we did here wasn't enough to keep him around.
Tune in Thursday to see which singers viewers chose and which three get wild-card spots from the judges.

In 2013, the continent marks 50 years of the historic signing of the OAU charter. Amidst the fanfare of the celebrations, there abide deep feelings of despondency and disappointment of leadership across the continent. There is the need therefore to revisit the question of how far the aims of the OAU were achieve, and even more how its successor, the African Union has fared as a proposed better framework for African unity, development and African identity fundamentally.
Papers related to the theme and more general topics related to African philosophy and studies will be accepted.

Training Field Supervisors to Be Efficient and Effective Critics of Student Writing
Bernadette Feeley
Suffolk University Law School
August 5, 2008
Clinical Law Review, Forthcoming
Suffolk University Law School Research Paper No. 08-22
Most externship clinicians encourage field supervisors to provide students guidance and feedback about their written work. Yet most field supervisors are not trained educators, are not exposed to literature and pedagogy in the legal writing field, and have limited time to help students improve their writing. This article first examines roadblocks to meaningful supervision of student writing projects. This article then provides 10 techniques that externship clinicians can provide to their field supervisors to help them become more effective critics of student writing.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is currently on an extended stay at the International Space Station. He'll be there until May; in March, he'll take over command of the station.
The 53-year-old Hadfield has been in regular communication with his 37,000-plus Twitter followers since his voyage began just before Christmas.
On New Year's Eve, he posted photographs of Canada as seen from above, including a shot of the snowy island of Montreal viewed from space. There are also some snapshots of life on the ISS on his Twitter account (@Cmdr_Hadfield). Here are just a few.

We study control contests under asymmetric information. Using a mechanism design approach, we fully characterize the optimal control contest mechanism. The optimal mechanism requires increasing the number of shares owned by the incumbent insider if he remains in control, while giving him a golden parachute that includes both shares and cash if he is deposed. The model underscores a novel explanation for the prevalence and persistence of the separation of ownership from control: efficiency in control contests is more easily achieved when ownership of cash flow rights is not concentrated in the hands of insiders.

Neil Budde joins the Philadelphia Public Interest Information Network as founding CEO after 35 years working for newspapers, online publishers, and media technology companies, including The Wall Street Journal Online, Yahoo and DailyMe.He most recently was president and chief product officer of personalized news provider DailyMe, which was acquired last year by ePals. Budde had been at DailyMe since March 2008.
At DailyMe, Budde helped build the Newstogram platform for personalization of news content and scaled its network of affiliated sites to about 300. Its ad network is now among the top 100 ad networks, reaching more than 11 million monthly uniques and delivering more than 75 million ad impressions.
Budde joined Yahoo! News in November 2004 as general manager and helped build the site into the No. 1 news site on the Internet. He led the team that completed a major redesign of the site and that produced the company's first original multimedia news offering: Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone, for which Sites was honored with the 2006 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism. He was elected to the board of the Online News Association in October 2005 and became its treasurer in January 2007.
Previously, Budde was the founding editor and publisher of The Wall Street Journal Online, the largest paid news site on the Internet with nearly 700,000 subscribers at the time he left. His pioneering work on WSJ.com began in early 1993 when he started formulating the original ideas for an online version of The Wall Street Journal. His self-built Visual Basic prototypes of an online Journal soon found wide favor within Dow Jones and he was asked to form a small team to create an online Journal in late 1993. After a year spent working on a proprietary approach to delivering the product he had envisioned, Budde and his team recognized that the Internet offered a better technology platform for achieving their goals. Work switched to the Internet in early 1995, and the team launched its first site – Money & Investing Update – in July of that year. In April 1996, the team rolled out the full Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition and stunned many observers by announcing that it would soon begin charging for access to the site. It stuck with that business model through the Internet bubble and steadily grew the subscriber base as well as advertising revenue, achieving a cash-flow-positive status in late 2002.
From the inception of WSJ.com, Budde directed the design, development and evolution of the product and its free companion sites on careers, real estate and other vertical categories. In January 2000, he added the title of publisher and assumed responsibility for all finance, advertising sales, marketing and business development in addition to his prior duties as head of news, design, development and technical operations on a global basis.Prior to his appointment as founding editor of the online Journal, Budde was deputy editorial director for Dow Jones News/Retrieval, where he oversaw design and development of new information services, including early natural-language searching features.Budde's career began with a decade of experience as an editor and reporter at The Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky., USA Today and The Richmond Times-Dispatch. His positions have included assistant business editor, associate editor of the Sunday magazine, copy editor and business reporter.
Budde earned a bachelor of arts degree in journalism from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky., and an MBA from the University of Louisville in Louisville, Ky.
In 2005, Budde was one of three inductees into the Western Kentucky University Hall of Distinguished Alumni, and in 2010 he was inducted into the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame.
In 2002, Budde was named one of four finalists for the World Technology Awards in the category of Media and Journalism. In 1998, he was named Business Journalist of the Year by TJFR (a newsletter covering business journalism). Forbes ASAP highlighted Budde's work in its August 1998 issue on "America's Best Technology Users."
Budde is on the board of The News Literacy Project and the First Amendment Coalition.
While an avid golfer with one hole-in-one to his credit (Jan. 1, 2003), Budde's handicap hovers around 20. He also enjoys tennis, skiing and photography.

Coach Jimmy King: "I'm disappointed in our overall results. Indiana is a stronger, faster team, so the disappointment is less in the loss to a faster program and more in our poor execution. Inconsistency continues to be an issue for our crews. After rowing and competing well in Friday afternoon's scrimmage against the Hoosiers, the poise and execution displayed Friday was largely lacking on Saturday. The effort was there, but it was misplaced effort."

The doctors and the dentists and the lawyers and the editors have been writing their autobiographies, and in some instances their sons have been exploiting their careers. Now comes the biography of a corner druggist, written by his son. It is a lively book, and any one who has wasted his hours gossiping with the druggist at night back of the prescription counter, or more recently behind the soda fountain, knows that the druggists have a lively time. Not all of their spare time is spent in selling stamps. The corner druggist, whose story is told here, was a druggist of the old school. Apparently in the old days they were frequently besought to provide pills for removing the premature progeny of seduction; they prescribed for venereal disease, and they advised the family about conditions in general. Modern scientific pharmacy is apparently removing some of the romance from this lively

BAGHDAD — Iraq's Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has long warned that Syria's increasingly sectarian war might spill over the border and reignite his own country's combustible Shi'ite-Sunni mix.
That nightmare may have edged closer after suspected Sunni insurgents killed 48 Syrian troops on Iraqi soil on Monday.
Suicide bombers have already stepped up attacks in recent weeks to a frequency Iraq has not suffered in years.
Invigorated by the conflict in neigboring Syria, insurgents are gaining ground and recruits in Iraq's Sunni heartland, regrouping in the vast desert where the Euphrates river winds through both countries, security officials say.
"We warn all sides in Syria against moving their armed struggle onto Iraqi lands or violating the sanctity of its borders," Iraq's defense ministry said after the attack on the Syrians, which it blamed on infiltrators from Syria. "The response will be harsh and decisive."
Syria's crisis has always been delicate for Iraq's Shi'ite leadership. Baghdad is close to Iran, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's ally, but insists it takes no sides as the conflict next door widens a regional Shi'ite-Sunni divide.
Iraq says the Syrian soldiers had fled into its territory and were being escorted back when they were ambushed. Yet their incursion will raise questions about Baghdad's neutrality.
Insurgents in Syria are predominantly Sunni and are backed by Sunni regional powers such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, while Assad's minority Alawite sect springs from Shi'ite Islam.
For Maliki, a defeat for Assad threatens to put Damascus under the thumb of hardline Sunni Islamists hostile to Baghdad.
Piggybacking on Syria Conflict
Iraq's recent surge in violence is still well below the peak of sectarian slaughter in 2006-2007, when rival Sunni and Shi'ite Islamist militias ruled parts of Baghdad, tens of thousands were killed and suicide bombers struck daily.
However, insurgents in suicide vests and explosive-packed cars have struck almost twice a week since January, killing more than 230 people in Shi'ite districts and mixed areas disputed by Iraqi Arabs and ethnic Kurds.
Security officials believe insurgents are tapping into Sunni discontent in Iraq's western provinces, where for weeks thousands have protested against Maliki, accusing him of marginalising their sect since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Reviling the Shi'ite-led government it sees as oppressing Sunnis, the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State of Iraq group is trying to gain legitimacy by linking its struggle to the Sunni insurgency against Assad, security experts say.
Protesters in the Sunni stronghold of Anbar have raised flags of the Syrian opposition.
"We say to the Sunnis in Baghdad and elsewhere: the situation you are living today is exactly what the mujahideen warned you of years ago. You are walking in a dark tunnel," said an al-Qaida statement posted on an Islamist website.
Iraqi security officials believe Islamic State of Iraq and other Sunni Islamist insurgents have already started to make good on a vow to reclaim ground al-Qaida lost in western Iraq.
"There is something even more immediate - the opportunity to merge Syria and Iraq into a single sectarian theatre of conflict," said Ramzy Mardini, an author on Iraq's insurgents who is now at the Iraq Institute for Strategic Studies. "Sunni extremists in Iraq see an opportunity to piggyback off the Syrian revolution."
New al-Qaida Camps
In Anbar province, which forms a third of Iraqi territory and was once almost wholly held by al-Qaida, tribal ties transcend the border. Sunni chiefs say Iraqi tribes send Syrian relatives food and supplies. Some tribal leaders say they send arms to Free Syrian Army rebels when border controls allow.
U.S. officials say the Nusra Front, an Islamist group seen as one of the most active fighting forces in Syria, is closely linked to al-Qaida's Iraqi affiliate.
Iraqi security officials say controlling armed groups in the region has been hampered by Sunni protesters who accuse security forces of unfairly targeting them with anti-terrorism laws. To avoid possible clashes, the army has pulled back in some areas.
Maliki has warned Sunnis against allowing extremists to hijack protests and has sought to appease them by promising to modify laws and by releasing detainees. But even moderate Sunni leaders and sheikhs worry they are losing influence.
Iraqi security officials and local tribal leaders say new al-Qaida camps are emerging in the remote al-Jaziya desert and valleys along the Syrian border in Anbar, but also that small cells are returning to towns such as Falluja and Rutba.
"In the last operation, we targeted a camp and managed to kill more than 10 members and to seize stocks of explosives and weapons. What stood out was the new weapons and what seems to be continuous support," said one army intelligence officer.
One local Sunni sheikh with close contacts to insurgents said al-Qaida cells were once again using militant rhetoric to attract young men for suicide attacks to exact revenge for wronged relatives and perceived abuses against their sect.
Security officials acknowledge they lack local intelligence in places such as Anbar, where state forces are seen by many as tools of the Shi'ite-led government. They also miss U.S. air surveillance over the desert bordering Syria.
Shi'ite Militias on Board
So far Shi'ite militias have stayed mostly out of the fray.
But in Sadr City, the Baghdad bastion of Shi'ite militants who once battled U.S. troops, former fighters talk of remobilizing in case Syria's turmoil upsets Iraq's sectarian balance.
After the last U.S. troops left Iraq in December 2011, some Iranian-backed, anti-U.S. Shi'ite militias disbanded, at least officially saying their struggle was over after nearly a decade.
With the rising influence of their political parties, there seemed little reason for the Shi'ite militants to keep fighting.
Early last year the leader of one militia, Asaib al-Haq, said it would disarm and join the political process. A rival Shi'ite group, Kataeb Hizballah, said weeks later it would not follow suit, citing Iraq's continuing instability.
The Mehdi Army of anti-U.S. Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr mostly disbanded after its defeat by Iraqi and U.S. forces in Baghdad and southern cities in 2008.
But Syria's crisis has revived Iraqi Shi'ite militant activity. Some have crossed the border to fight alongside Assad's troops, though Shi'ite militia commanders say they have given no official sanction for volunteers to fight in Syria.
Worried about Sunni unrest in Anbar and the crisis unfolding in Syria, some ex-Mehdi Army members say they too are regrouping and recruiting as a precautionary measure.
"I will just be defending my rights," said one former senior Mehdi fighter. "We won't start this. We will just be waiting for them in case."
