Dunn Homers As White Sox Beat Lester, Red Sox 6-4
Adam Dunn has been insisting all season he feels great, even while he was piling up strikeouts at the beginning of the year.
It's not so hard to believe him right now.
Dunn hit a three-run homer in the first inning and the Chicago White Sox handed Jon Lester his first loss with a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
"It was hard to sit here and keep saying over and over and over how good I felt, with no results," Dunn said. "Hopefully these results keep coming and people start believing me that I wasn't lying to them."
Alejandro De Aza and Alexei Ramirez added consecutive RBI doubles in the second as Chicago took advantage of an ineffective Lester (6-1) to earn its fifth win in seven games in the opener of an eight-game homestand. The White Sox scored each of their runs with two outs.
"The first inning's good, but you know for me, that next inning when you get a couple doubles and you score like that, that's a good sign," manager Robin Ventura said.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who had won five in a row. Saltalamacchia made a bid for a second two-run shot, but Dayan Viciedo brought in his drive on the warning track in left-center with the White Sox clinging to a 6-4 lead in the seventh.
Boston right fielder Shane Victorino was running the bases in the sixth when his left hamstring started to bother him, and he was replaced in the field in the bottom of the inning. He also missed games on Friday and Saturday with a back injury.
"He felt the left hamstring grab him, little bit of a spasm," manager John Farrell said. "Given what he's been dealing with, low back, I wasn't going to take any chances in that situation."
Farrell said Victorino was day to day, and the team would proceed cautiously.
Lester was trying to become the first left-handed starter to win his first seven decisions for Boston since Roger Moret in 1973. But he was shaky in the first couple of innings while falling to 4-5 in 10 career games against the White Sox to go along with a 5.43 ERA, his highest against any AL team.
"Chicago, for some reason, I don't feel like I've ever pitched well here for whatever reason," Lester said. "It is what it is, and it always goes back down to executing pitches at the right time, and I didn't execute the pitch in the first inning. That changed the whole momentum of the game."
Lester retired his first two batters before running into trouble. Alex Rios singled to extend his hitting streak to 15 games and Paul Konerko walked before Dunn drove a 2-0 pitch to right for his fifth homer in seven games and No. 11 on the year.
Dunn also walked before Viciedo singled home Ramirez to make it 6-2 in the fifth. The burly slugger is batting .360 with 13 RBIs in his last seven games, raising his average 39 points to .172 for the year.
"When he's right, he can do a lot of damage," Ventura said. "His pitch selection is good. I don't know mechanically exactly what it is but when a guy knows he's in the right position to hit and he's more confident, it comes down to pitch selection."
Lester retired the side in order in the sixth, and that was it for him. He allowed five earned runs and seven hits, walked three and struck out two.
While Lester struggled, Dylan Axelrod (2-3) pitched six effective innings to win his second straight start. The right-hander, who could lose his spot in the rotation when John Danks comes off the disabled list, gave up two runs and four hits.
"It's easy to have a lead and pitch to contact and just let the defense work," he said.
Axelrod acknowledged that he thinks about his role with Danks almost back from August shoulder surgery, but Ventura said there's still a bit to go before a decision has to be made.
"John's going to throw next couple of days, and then we'll find out exactly, go from there," Ventura said. "But again, it's not going to be easy for anybody. We'll make that decision when we get there."
Matt Thornton yielded Will Middlebrooks' two-run double in the seventh and Jesse Crain extended his scoreless streak to 17 innings before Addison Reed finished for his 15th save in 16 chances.
With one out and a runner on first in the ninth, Middlebrooks hit a drive that De Aza caught at the wall in center field. Konerko then made a diving stop on Stephen Drew's grounder and flipped the ball to Reed covering first to end the game.
The White Sox improved to 9-9 at home on the first night of a stretch of 17 of 23 games in Chicago that includes two against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. If the White Sox (20-23) can turn around their sluggish play at U.S. Cellular Field, it could be a chance to make up some ground in the bunched AL Central.
NOTES: The Red Sox activated closer Andrew Bailey from the 15-day disabled list. He had been out since April 29 with right biceps inflammation. ... Chicago 2B Gordon Beckham, placed on the disabled list April 12 with a broken bone in his left wrist, played shortstop in a rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Monday night. Ventura said Beckham could return to the team by the end of the week. ... LHPs Felix Doubront (3-1, 6.03 ERA) of the Red Sox and Jose Quintana (2-1, 3.97) of the White Sox are slated to pitch Tuesday.

As the former owner/president of Highpoint Athletic Club in Chal-font, Pa., Frank Napolitano has experience in selling a club. His own. Recently, Highpoint joined Town Sports International (TSI) and became a Philadelphia Sports Club.
Now TSI's vice president of special programs, Napolitano claims that he looked for three things in a buyer-and recommends that potential club sellers do the same.
First and foremost, look for honesty and integrity. "You can't do a good deal with a bad person," he says.
Second, look for a buyer with clubs that fit culturally with your club. "A cultural fit is having the same business philosophy and the same business modus operandi," Napolitano says.
Finally, you want to look for the buyer offering the highest price.
Some club operators may want to arrange these three things in an order that suits their own style. However, if you are dedicated to your employees, you must put your priorities in the order Napolitano listed. By giving greater consideration to honesty, integrity and a cultural fit, you put your employees in the hands of the best possible owner.
If you're interested in selling your club, you may be tempted to seek out potential buyers. Napolitano believes that you are in the best position when a buyer approaches you. He adds that you shouldn't operate the facility as if you were going to sell it. "You take your eye off the ball of running a business well," he says.
By running your business well, you can enhance your club's value-and, thereby, increase your sales price. If this means turning away potential buyers until your strategies are firmly in place, so be it. For example, say you just invested a substantial capital outlay into construction. This will lower profits in the short term, but the work will eventually pay off. Therefore, you don't want to sell the club immediately after construction; you want to wait until the club experiences the benefits of your investment. Remember: You are in the best position with a profitable club.
Indeed, a buyer will want to know exactly what kind of profits your club is generating. That's why due diligence is such an important step during an acquisition. As a seller, you can't do much once due diligence begins. Therefore, you should be worrying about the condition of your books long before you open channels of communication with a buyer. "Run a business with clean and accurate financial information from the beginning," Napolitano says.
While the buyer will do due diligence on you, you should do the same on the buyer. If the buyer is a club company that has been required to file with the SEC, then the financial information you want is generally available. Even if the buyer hasn't filed with the SEC, you should ask to have a look at its books. Naturally, the buyer won't disclose everything, but a flat-out refusal to share anything is a good sign to pull out of the deal, according to Napolitano.
There are a number of reasons why you, as a seller, would want to do due diligence on the buyer. If part of the sale includes stock and things other than cash, then you must know the financial shape of the buyer. What's the point of having stock in a company that could fold at any moment? Even if it's a cash deal, you still may want to do due diligence-to make sure your employees are becoming part of a strong, thriving company.
In addition to due diligence, the final stages of an acquisition include all kinds of paperwork. That's why Napolitano offers one simple, parting piece of advice: Get a lawyer. "Competent legal advice is absolutely critical," he says, "even if you are a lawyer." After all, you want somebody to make sure you didn't miss anything.

You will perhaps not be shocked to learn this took place in Fresno, the Florida of California. (Sacramento is the Ohio.)
Two men were shot at the close of Sunday's NFC championship. According to the Fresno Bee, Amado Vargas, 39, "was described as a 'new' 49ers fan and was being taunted by people in the house." He allegedly grabbed a knife, had it wrestled away, then retrieved a gun from a safe.
"Alcohol was obviously a factor, and they started giving him a hard time after the loss of the 49ers. He took it personal, grabbed a knife, which then escalated to him grabbing a gun and firing rounds within the residence," said Sgt. Kevin Lolkus with the Fresno County Sheriff's Office.
Two men were treated for leg wounds, and Vargas was arrested upon arriving at the hospital with a stab wound. He's charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

Teachers, especially at the elementary level, must be very creative with their teaching styles. Not every child learns the same way, nor are they interested in the same things. It is difficult to keep the attention of 15-20 children under the age of ten. Classroom setup and design is a good way to get and keep the attention of students.
Workstations are a good way to encourage different types of learning. By allowing children a chance to choose which activities they want to participate in, children are taking control of their own education. At the elementary level, children are always learning and sometimes don't even know it. When I was in kindergarten, I can remember playing at the different stations in the classroom.
One station was for gardening and we could plant seeds and check them every day to see how much they had grown. Another station in that classroom that sticks out in my mind is the arts and crafts station. There was a large array of crayons, markers, scissors, construction paper and building materials we could use to make pretty decorations to give to our parents for our homes.

The heat is on! Betty and Veronica go head to head in a contest that will decide who wins Archie's fiery affections. Round after round the girls battle it out to find that sometimes working against each other has worse consequences than a volleyball loss. Sometimes, the best art is created when you least expect it. In 'Chisel Fizzle,' Betty and Veronica help 'the next Michelangelo' with his craft. Finally, in 'The Best of Buds,' Archie's #1 girls take a trip down memory lane and recall what makes them the best of friends.

T./Capt. (A./Maj.) Edward Alexander Chisholm, M.C., R.F.A.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He displayed magnificent gallantry in preparing a forward position, in getting all his guns into action there, and bringing up a large amount of ammunition in a very short time. Though the position was in full view of the enemy and approached by a single road, which was in very bad condition and was continually shelled, he personally organised every detail of the work under constant heavy fire and great difficulties. The success of the battery was due to this officer's untiring zeal, fearless example, and determination to succeed, which were worthy of the best traditions of the regiment.
2nd Bar Citation – 9th December 1919
T./Capt. (A./Maj.) Edward Alexander Chisholm, M.C., C/161st Bde., R.F.A.
Near Ora, on 4th November, 1918, he went forward to reconnoitre a position for his battery, and found the infantry held up. He went forward by himself, and captured ten prisoners and an enemy field gun. He sent back the ten prisoners by an orderly from his battery, and then went back and led up a party of infantry to secure the gun which he had captured. He was constantly under machine-gun fire.

Why Beauty Blogger Nicole Has Switched to Obagi360 — for Good.
06.25.2014, 10:01 CDT | Posted In: Prevention & Protection, Health & Beauty, Obagi Stories, Products, Skin Care
When Nicole Marie Melton came to us raving about her experience with our Obagi360® System, we knew that her enthusiasm was too contagious not to share. She describes herself as very particular about how she cares for her skin, but has "nothing but great things to say" about Obagi360. What better reason than that to feature Nicole as our latest guest blogger!
Name: Nicole Marie Melton
Profession: Beauty Blogger
Location: Washington, DC
Obagi Skin Care Regimen: Obagi360 System
Primary Skin Concern: Blemishes and skin tone
When it comes to skincare, I must admit: I am very picky with what I use on my face, and recently, I had been struggling with occasional breakouts and the fact that my skin tone wasn't great. I started using the Obagi360 System about 5 weeks ago, and I have nothing but great things to say about this skin care set!
The set comes with an Exfoliating Cleanser, Retinol 0.5 Serum and the HydraFactor SPF 30 Moisturizer. Here's why I LOVE each product:
Exfoliating Cleanser: This cleanser is one of the best I've ever tried (and I've tried A LOT of skin care products). I love it because the gentle beads serve as a pick-me-up during a nice, hot shower in the morning. But it's great at night, too, because the beads are excellent at helping me get rid of all my makeup. Best of all, it's formulated for all skin types. My skin tends to be oily in the T-zone and dry under my eyes, but this cleanser has really seemed to balance my skin out.*
Retinol 0.5%: Oh, how I LOVE this product! I've been using this 3-step system for a full 5 weeks now, so I can honestly say that I see real results at how radiant my evenly-toned skin looks now. I really love the applicator bottle this comes in, which dispenses just the right pearl-sized amount to be used only in the evenings.
HydraFactor Broad Spectrum SPF 30: Wow. I loved everything about this moisturizer! It's lightweight, but hydrating. It's also non-greasy, but gives me the perfect glow. Best of all, it provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection, which does not leave that dreaded white film on my skin that I've experienced with using some other sunscreens.
Overall, I have truly enjoyed using this system, and will be adding it to my daytime routine. I've used products that my dermatologist has recommended in the past, but now I will be switching over to the Obagi360 System for good.
It's a little pricier at around $140 for the set, but it's certainly worth it. I would pay top dollar to help keep my skin looking smooth and even! Each item in the Obagi360 set comes in a large size. I'm only halfway through my bottles after 5 weeks, so I'm sure I can make it to 12 weeks with this set. When you think about it like that, the average cost equals out to about $12 per week. Totally worth every penny!
The Obagi360 System is available for purchase in dermatology, plastic surgery and other aesthetic physicians' practices. Find one near you via obagi.com.

If you want to make your boys and girls liars and thieves keep the best of everything locked up from them.
January 7, 1911
When one studies and reads between the lines he sees nothing in airships but intentional war, hence the ravages against their staying qualities. God and good men want peace, not war.
January 7, 1911
Judge Goff's decision in Richmond, Va., declared that discrimination as to property rights cannot be put into a deed against Negroes is like the man.
When a prisoner of war, and the South wanted one of its big men released, negotiations were started to free General Goff in exchange for him, but he said, "No, let me die for my country's cause," and stayed in that filthy prison and actually ate rats to live. He is a man:every inch of him. We know and love the man and have for forty years:twenty-eight of which he has been taking this paper. Just you Baltimore Negroes wait till he gets around.
January 28, 1911
Don't Be Scared.
To be cowardly often induces the silly fellows to try to do you harm. We have had notice to organize to prevent jimcrow and disfranchising scheme said to be on foot by some shallow headed democrat at Charleston.
Not a bit of danger of either happening, because there are too many bread-minded democrats there who would stand up like adamant against it. For another reason they will not pass, for it is well known that many colored people, sick and tired of the treatment of a certain class of republicans, voted for the change, and if treated as promised they would be, they would vote again. In the face of what is above said, the bills would be passed, Wm. E. Glasscock, one of the best governors in the United States would veto them, and the Negroes would unifically go back to their "first love."
May 13, 1911
The ballot is the black man's best weapon of defense in a republican form of government. Whever it is denied, those called freemen are the worst of slaves. It is claimed by the whites of the south that it is no good for that section for the Negroes to have this power in their hands, but Emerson said: "It cannot be good for the bee that is not good for the swarm." But as a rule, a contest between heredity and environment, the devil usually wins.
June 3, 1911
It does not pay for Negroes to boast of party affiliation any longer. Parties care nothing for you, only to use you. Your duty is to use them, and you should be no truer to them than you are to you. Take my word for it, that the greatest and noblest party that you can serve, is your own unflinching manhood.
June 3, 1911
The south has broke out anew in butchering Negroes. Their smoking blood will rise in future punishment, for if the voice of the oppressed is not heard at God's tribunal, then religion is fake, and our boasted civilization worse than heathenism. But justice is reserved for all who love God, and the ignorance of men works no delay in his righteous decrees. It did not in the emancipation of the slaves, and it will not in the getting of their full-fledged rights and liberty.
June 3, 1911
It is sheer folly to try to denounce men like DuBois. The race would be better off if it had more men like him. He it is, who utters soul-stirring thoughts that awaken shades of the necessary determination that alone make manly men. Oh for ten thousand like him. Our duty lies before us. Talk about rights? Who on earth ever had them his perfect satisfaction? Duties fearlessly done, make them, therefore, do your duty and do it well: "Do your duty:that is best. Leave unto the Lord the rest."
June 3, 1911
For twenty-eight years THE PIONEER PRESS has been a leader in this State and Nation for the grand and noble fight that is being waged for the amelioration of the condition of the Negro. THE PIONEEER PRESS was never known to lag or trifle in any matter where the interest of the race was involved. For this characteristic, THE PRESS should have the unswerving support and encouragement of Negroes everywhere. It contains reliable news, interesting editorials and clever special articles. It is safely recommended to you as the perfect newspaper for the home and family.
IT LEADS in the quantity of original matter which it furnishes it patrons.
IT LEADS in its spicy editorials and fearless sayings.
IT LEADS in its general, local and miscellany pages.
TAKEN all in all, we don't feel that we are exaggerating when we state that the PIONEER PRESS is one of the best all around weekly papers in this country today.
WE ARE not alone in making this statement, for some of the best and most prominent men of the United States have done likewise. These persons above referred to were not confined to one particular race, either, but to both.
Has the LARGEST city circulation -
The LARGEST foreign circulation -
The LARGEST domestic and general circulation:
The LARGEST county and rural circulation of any Negro news paper in the United States:
Has the LARGEST Anglo Saxon circulation:
BECAUSE it is the pioneer of this section in blazing the way for truth, honesty, piety and frugality and all other requisites that are necessary for the making of manly men and womanly women of all races.
BECAUSE it merits support and gets it is proof positive that people know a good thing when they see it.
BECAUSE of its unique and original qualities the PIONEER PRESS has a noticeable exclusiveness enjoyed by no other paper in the class wherein it circulates.
June 10, 1911
The eyes of the world are on war is proof positive because they are all actively and earnestly engaged in preparing for it. Mr. Roosevelt cautions this nation that the best and only way to have peace is to outstrip all nations in preparation for war. What can that lead up to but war? Well, let it come, for the world is already overcrowed with fools who will be foremost to rush to war, and be killed. Such are the causes of God's decree that "wars and rumors of wars" must we believe, and we believe it is essential as is law to punish and destroy the hooks and crooks of every section on earth where civilization reigns and fed on a fussy religion
June 24, 1911
If this nation would work and plan as hard to elevate its people as it does to fight other nations what a power it would be. The Panama Canal is being finished for that; as are our ships and submarine boats. The last two named are sure to be useful on that line, while the canal can only last for good for commercial purposes. Just the other day seven submarine vessel run 128 miles deep down under the water, a distance of 150 miles in 11 hours. With such underwater war power to strike and destroy from below and airships to drop bombs from the clouds, what sense is there to building so many battle ships to be destroyed in a jiffy by the means mentioned?
Better turn the time and money into elevating the human family on the basis that stock is to get at a proper starting point to good.
July 22, 1911
How long will the white man want to play master, and the Negro the slave? There should be Negro clerks at the polls on every election; mail carriers; policemen, a deputy sheriff, and last, but not least, a school commissioner. Just how much interest the school board has in the colored children is seen in the old-war time one story funky school house, with an old board fence fronting Martin Street, fit to keep bulls inside. Every ward in town has fine buildings and a grammar school when the get through the ward school, but give Negro children diplomas when the get through the one story Negro school.
June 22, 1911
One of the best things to teach boys and girls while young, is to get up early in the morning, and after washing and combing their hair, have something for them to do, and by all means teach them to do it well. To some, it may not be life of a bed of roses in their early days, but time will come, when, above other things, they will thank their parents most for having so taught them. There may be more, but we have one tot in our mind of this city, whose future we hope this community will watch:he is Mr. M. A. Snodgrass's boy, and we sincerely wish all other boys would try to equal him.
July 29, 1911
Unless the Republican party goes back to its old stand in defense of the American Negro, it will have no show to hold in the balance of elective power in 1912.
July 29, 1911
The Negro is coming, a fact which some willingly, and others reluctantly admit, and that is why we hear of so much intimidation, and such a number of scurrilous articles put in metropolitan dailies about him and his race whenever he does some little indiscreet things that would be noticed in no one save him.
July 29, 1911
Sometime ago Mayor Caskey was very much wrought up about, and seemed determined to make the citizens of this town keep their hog pens, outhouses, cess pools and other places of the same kind clean, which was quite commendable in him, but he should still look a little more sharply than he already has, and he will yet find considerable for his official eyes to see and cause to be corrected.
August 5, 1911
With Jim Vardaman and Hoke Smith in the United States Senate, that body will be occupied by two men who are a menace to the welfare of the whole country. This is so because they are constantly attempting to spread coercion, intimidation, murder and hatred where ever the happen to go, or be. Let them do their worst though, because all such creatures as they, are doomed to eternal oblivion unless they change their ways.
May 25, 1912
The editor of the Pioneer Press is what the word by prejudice's philosophy calls a black man, of which he is proud as any white man is for skulking in the shade when duty called him under the burning rays of the sun to be a man and he refused.
Likewise the editor is an honest Republican and has always been, but when he knows his color was changed by force of duty to this world, and that his color was fixed before he was a Republican, his duty is to fight and die for his color's rights, which he will do to the end of his life.
May 25, 1912
One of our strong writers, says: "The Negro has I fear little to hope for." That's true, but he has a great deal to fight for. Will he do it?
May 25, 1912
West Virginians seemed to greedy for political national convention glory even to think long enough of the contention of the State Librarian for a colored delegate, to even give an alternate. We wanted two or three. The rest may do as they please:buzzard is vomiting to us.
May 25, 1912
After March 4th 1913, it will be Mr. Wm. H. Taft, and he will have more time to play golf.

We see no reason why there should be a Negro Department connected with the Panama-Pacific Exposition. That is the trouble, now, there is too much segregation already, and why we should continue to advocate more in the face of present conditions, is a mystery to us. If the Negroes have anything that is worth while exhibiting at San Francisco, they should send it there like other American citizens, and stop this strictly Negro business, because it does no good from any possible standpoint.

Mr. Taft can't sugarcoat any more political pills for thinking Negroes to swallow in 1912, as he did in 1908, when he told them not to vote for Bryan, because, if elected he would appoint possibly four supreme court judges from the South, who would be inimical to our rights, and when elected did the very thing he pretended to fear would happen.

Away with that namby-pamby class, who, like those of olden times sought supplies of children's blood and had it inserted into their carcasses which had been poisoned by rotten conduct in hope to regain their lost strength. As they died because of the free sowing of their allowable "wild oats," so let this sentimental, namby-pamby class:chock-blocks to our going up the hill of life.

In regard to lynchings, burnings and wholesale murdering bring about threatenings mixed with prayers as the last resort, the limit is being reached. In its face, however, let these day philosophers philosophize, we shall deal with facts that the past has always resulted in, not theories, for be assured that as electricity has emancipated the mind from the body and given it wings, so will unific and manly contention against the wrongs that are piled on us, give us full-fledged men's rights.

PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic reclaimed the Fed Cup after Lucie Safarova thumped Serbia's Jelena Jankovic to give the home team an unbeatable 3-1 lead.
Left-hander Safarova, the word number 17, broke Jankovic's opening serve before winning 6-1 6-1 in front of a 14,000 capacity crowd at Prague's O2 Arena. She had won only one of their previous six encounters.
"It is impossible to describe how great this feeling is, because it is at home," Safarova said.
"I played unbelievably well. This was one of those days when everything you touch works out well. I really wanted to win and I am very happy."
"Jelena is a great player but I was very focused and solid, it was one of my best matches...one of my best five games."
Safarova's form contrasted with her two losses in last year's final against Russia and compensated for Petra Kvitova, who had stumbled in her return singles earlier on Sunday.
Kvitova lost 6-3 7-5 to Ana Ivanovic who kept alive Serbia's hopes of winning their debut Fed Cup.
World number eight Kvitova had been expected to hand the Czechs an unbeatable 3-0 lead but former French Open winner Ivanovic produced an inspired display.
The 24-year old Serb took the first point for Serbia with a forehand winner on her third match point.
"I knew today I would be playing better and I started swinging from the beginning and worked well for me. (Kvitova) started swinging again (in the second set), getting few winners down the lines, but I managed to stay calm," she said.
Kvitova said she had felt healthy after but lacked power.
"I did not have a lot of energy. At the beginning I was being much too hectic, I wanted to take the final point in this tie," she said.
"Ana played very well, aggressively, I only could play a few shots in rallies, that is why I made errors and she took the winners."
The Fed Cup title is the Czechs seventh overall including the former Czechoslovakia The Czechs are hoping to complete a double when the men's team take on Spain in the Davis Cup final later this month.

Left in the lurch
Federal funding for western Oregon counties comes to an end
Sgt. Pat Downing has been with the Coos County Sheriff's Office in southwestern Oregon for almost 30 years, and he's never seen public safety in such bad shape.
"It's a two-hour drive from our northernmost city to our southernmost city," he says. "And we have only one deputy on duty at a time, for the whole county."
Coos County laid off 48 full-time employees in the sheriff's office last year, including half the patrol staff. Prisoners are given early release to make room for new convicts, and thanks to staffing shortages, the 200-bed jail can now only hold 95 inmates. Meanwhile, there's been an increase in theft – particularly of scrap metal.
It's a tale that is repeating itself all over western Oregon, as counties face the expiration of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. The law, enacted in 2000, was a response to the decline in logging in the 1990s. Counties that once depended on a share of the timber profits from their federal lands saw their budgets plummet when mill automation, over-cutting and environmental concerns — such as preserving habitat for the northern spotted owl — slowed logging on large swathes of federal forest land. Secure Rural Schools provided each county with roughly the same amount of money it had received in timber receipts during the boom years. For some counties, it furnished more than half of their general discretionary fund, the money used to pay for police officers, mental health services and other basic government operations.
When the act first expired in late 2006, the Bush administration proposed selling off thousands of acres of public land to fund an extension. The proposal failed but a one-year extension was nevertheless granted in the spring of 2007. Congress turned down a second extension early this summer, and although advocates are now trying new strategies — such as attaching the proposal to an emergency appropriations bill for Midwest flood relief — it is unlikely that such maneuvers will succeed. Counties in heavily forested Western states—particularly Oregon, California and Washington—stand to lose the most money if an extension is not approved.
"It's pretty desperate here," says Marlyn Schafer, commissioner for Curry County, just south of Coos. "If this legislation goes away, it will be insolvency for us." Both Curry and Josephine County face bankruptcy if federal funding does not resume.
Thirty-three of Oregon's 36 counties received the federal funds, with a portion divided equally among the state's schools and another share strictly earmarked for county roads. But the most important piece of the funding, nearly $100 million, replaced dwindling timber receipts from so-called O&C lands, which are unique to Oregon. These former Oregon and California Railroad properties — about 2 million acres — were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management in 1937 and used for logging until the downturn in the 1990s. Under Secure Rural Schools, money to replace timber receipts on O&C lands went into each county's general discretionary fund.
In Josephine County, federal forest payments made up about two-thirds of general fund revenues. Last year, the county closed down its entire library system, reduced the jail to less than 50 percent capacity, and curtailed the sheriff's patrol to just one shift. In Douglas County, library hours have been sharply reduced and 59 positions cut from the budget. In Lane County, proposed measures include cutting funding to the district attorney's office, reducing its ability to prosecute felonies by an estimated 500 cases.
To make matters worse, raising property taxes is generally not an option in Oregon. As a result of several ballot measures passed by the state's voters in the 1990s, counties must put any property tax increases to a vote. Such ballot measures have a grim track record, even in the worst of times.
Despite the impacts, some critics doubt the loss in federal funding will be as damaging as counties claim. "They're laying off people in areas where it's more politically hurtful, just to make a hue and cry," says Andy Stahl, executive director of Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics. Nevertheless, Stahl supports a renewal of the funding because, he says, in the absence of a safety net, counties are more likely to push for more logging on federal lands.
Given a choice, many county officials in areas directly affected by the loss of federal funding say they'd prefer that logging resume. "The federal government needs to return to a balanced responsible management plan for the forests," says Douglas County Commissioner Doug Robertson.
One way that could happen is through the passage of the controversial Western Oregon Plan Revision, a BLM proposal that would sharply increase logging on O&C lands. The federal timber receipts from the operation would be split among 18 counties, making up in part for the losses presented by the end of Secure Rural Schools. But like the Secure Rural Schools Act, the Western Oregon Plan Revision faces a tough legislative battle.
So western Oregon counties continue to cut back on services, within the legal limits dictated by the state. The interpretation of those limits is likely to become more creative as county budgets are stretched.
"When it gets right down to it, it's going to be about what we can afford to do," says Coos County Commissioner John Griffith. "The law says you have to have a jail, but it doesn't say you have to have anyone in it."

SCMP: Leverages AI through Project Dali to classify millions of images
About South China Morning Post
Founded in 1903, South China Morning Post is Hong Kong's journal of record and has teams in Asia and the United States. The organization develops news content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and aims to "lead the global conversation about China".
With Google Cloud solutions, South China Morning Post tags about four million images to improve internal search capabilities, elevate search engine rankings, and gain traction across content and syndication partners.
Google Cloud Results
- Improves search engine rankings and gains traction across content and syndication partners
- Eliminates laborious manual tagging of images
- Streamlines location and identification of images for news teams
Classifies millions of images for easy access
Founded in 1903, South China Morning Post publishes its eponymous newspaper that operates as Hong Kong's journal of record, with a Monday through Saturday circulation of more than 100,000 and a Sunday version circulation of about 80,000. The business runs teams in Asia and the United States, while developing news content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. South China Morning Post aims to "lead the global conversation about China".
South China Morning Post also publishes magazines such as Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Esquire, and Harper's BAZAAR, and operates the jobs website cpjobs.com.
Extensive media disruption
New technologies and digital business models are disrupting the media industry worldwide and South China Morning Post is no exception. The organization is using new technologies to create and deliver content to readers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via its scmp.com website, smartphone and tablet applications, and social media and messaging platforms.
"Our data team is already using BigQuery for analytics, so Google Cloud Platform was a natural fit for our project."—Korey Lee, Head of Data, South China Morning Post
Over its 115-year history, South China Morning Post has built a repository of millions of photographs taken by its own photographers and news wire services. This repository grows by hundreds of new photographs weekly. All these images – most of which are untagged – reside in a content management system with only limited search and discovery features. "Our content resource team has to make a tremendous effort to tag images manually," explains Korey Lee, Head of Data, South China Morning Post. "At the moment, it is very inefficient for our editors to search for the people and scenery represented on images."
Tagging all images manually would be prohibitively expensive, prone to human error and subjective decision-making, and require thousands of hours of employee time to complete. The exercise continued on an ongoing basis as photographers added new images.
AI opens up new opportunities
Fortunately, artificial intelligence and machine learning opened up opportunities to automate image tagging and classification workflows at scale. The business established an effort, which it called Project Dali, and reviewed image recognition to determine whether an in-house-developed solution or a vendor product best met its needs.
"Understanding image recognition and careful project scoping was key to avoiding pitfalls," explains Lee. "We had to make sure users needed the features we were building and, most importantly, create a tool that could scale and evolve with our business."
The business reviewed which functions were most affected by the lack of image tags and other metadata, enabling it to pinpoint the teams and individuals who could provide user requirements.
"In particular, Google Kubernetes Engine gave us the flexibility to deliver prototypes quickly and efficiently, so it was very helpful in allowing us to bring together all the pieces of our solution."—Korey Lee, Head of Data, South China Morning Post
"Our newsroom had difficulty retrieving relevant images when searching through our content management system and problems recognizing faces, places, and other entities on some images," says Lee. "Furthermore, our content resources team could not feasibly tag all the images it processed on a daily basis at the level of detail required. Finally our marketing team believed discoverability of images with strong tagging could help search engine optimization. Our images could rise in search rankings, and gain traction across other content and syndication partners."
Facial recognition and object detection
Following discussions with its newsroom and a comprehensive review of its image archives, South China Morning Post elected to focus initially on facial recognition and object detection. The Project Dali team opted for open source and in-house development to properly understand the areas.
"This choice empowered us by giving us full control and autonomy over the design of the solution and the training of the model," says Lee. "Our initial goal was to train a facial recognition model that could identify faces from a custom dataset of about 100 people."
The data team at the South China Morning Post reviewed several open source deep learning libraries. Given there were multiple examples and resources available that addressed its use cases, the team opted for TensorFlow. The data team built a prototype – based on Facenet facial recognition – capable of recognizing hundreds of celebrities, heads of state, and persons of interest. Since deep learning models needed quality data to predict accurately the identity of a photographed person, the organization needed at least 25 images for each face and preferably 100 images per face. The data team then accessed an online library of images and filtered out the poorer quality or irrelevant images itself.
"We plan to build on our success by creating a database on Cloud SQL to store the tags, as well as workflows and user interfaces that enable people to correct inaccurate predictions."—Korey Lee, Head of Data, South China Morning Post
Why was Google Cloud Platform the best fit?
The South China Morning Post needed to deploy a cloud-based infrastructure to run the prototype and quickly determined Google Cloud Platform – particularly Google Kubernetes Engine – best met its requirements. "Our data team is already using BigQuery for analytics, so Google Cloud Platform was a natural fit for our project," says Lee. "In particular, Google Kubernetes Engine gave us the flexibility to deliver prototypes quickly and efficiently, so it was very helpful in allowing us to bring together all the pieces of our solution."
The business is now using Google Kubernetes Engine, Container Registry, Cloud Storage, and Cloud SQL to run the prototype. The publisher is running a face recognition model and is building additional models for places, logos, and optical character recognition.
The data team is also utilizing a Google Kubernetes Engine cluster with a pool of graphics processing unit virtual machines to train the model, and make it servable via a REST API.
Over the last quarter of 2018, South China Morning Post finalized the prototype and started training the face model on 165 faces on a Google Images dataset, in parallel with deploying a user interface to upload images and test predictions.
"We plan to build on our success by creating a database on Cloud SQL to store the tags, as well as workflows and user interfaces that enable people to correct inaccurate predictions," says Lee. "Another important piece of work relies upon the ability to detect unknown faces, cluster the images showing the same unknown face together, and notify the team to connect to the user interface to input this new face name in the database."
Project Dali is seen within South China Morning Post as an example of technology doing what it should – making human activities less tedious and more effective. Thanks to Google Kubernetes Engine, Container Registry, Cloud Storage and Cloud SQL, South China Morning Post has gained additional time to focus on refining stories and delivering even higher quality content for readers.
While Project Dali is still in its initial stages, South China Morning Post is confident it will enhance efficiency in its newsroom. As the brand continues its transformation from Hong Kong's legacy newspaper of record to an international, digital-first global news leader, Project Dali and similar efforts facilitate the use of data to streamline processes and enable its teams to better lead the global conversation on China.

Applicants for financial aid are evaluated on the basis of demonstrated financial need, potential for academic success and standards of satisfactory academic progress. Financial need is defined as the difference between the cost of attending Loyola and the amount you and your parents are expected to contribute from income and assets. A student's cost of education is determined based on enrollment status, grade level and housing status. Student expense budgets have been established which include actual charges for tuition, fees and room as well as standard allowances for books and supplies, meal services, transportation and personal/miscellaneous expenses. The expected family contribution toward educational cost is determined using the information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS Profile Application. Eligibility for federal financial aid may differ from eligibility for institutionally-controlled forms of financial aid due to institutional policies and the use of specific data elements which are omitted from the federal eligibility formula.
At the time your application was evaluated, you were automatically considered for all types of assistance, including scholarships, grants, loans and employment. The Office of Financial Aid determined your eligibility for each type of aid and assigned a combination of assistance in accordance with your eligibility. The specific components of your aid package depend upon the availability of funds and your demonstrated financial need.
Your aid package has been constructed using all resources known at the time of the award. If you are eligible for financial aid from a source outside the University, an estimate has been provided on the Financial Aid Award Notification. If you receive additional assistance not indicated on your Financial Aid Award Notification, you can usually expect an adjustment in your financial aid package.
Entering first-year applicants are selected for academic scholarship assistance based on a comprehensive review of the high school academic record including grade performance, course selection and strength of high school. SAT/ACT scores are also considered if provided by the applicant. Financial need is not a factor in determining eligibility for academic scholarship assistance.
The Office of Financial Aid reserves the right to request documentation to verify any information used to determine eligibility for financial assistance. Changes required as a result of the verification process may require an adjustment in the total expected family contribution and the student's financial need.
back to top
Indicate whether you wish to accept or decline the aid offered via your Self Service account. If you wish to reduce a loan amount, you must contact the Office of Financial Aid via email (firstname.lastname@example.com). Include your full name and Student ID number in your correspondence. If your financial aid package is adjusted for any reason during the academic year (e.g. receipt of outside sources of aid, changes in enrollment or housing status, or changes required as a result of the verification process), you will be notified via email to your Loyola email address.
You will be sent an email notification to your Loyola email account when a financial aid eligibility decision has been made. The email notification will indicate that your financial aid award is available electronically via Self Service by accessing "WebAdvisor for Students" on Inside Loyola. You must also accept or decline your offered aid
(loans and work study) via the Self Service account.. If you wish to reduce the amount of a loan, you must contact the Office of Financial Aid via email (email@example.com). Include your full name and Student I.D. Number in your correspondence.
If your financial aid award requires a revision or correction, you will be informed via email notification delivered to your Loyola email address.
You are required to notify the Office of Financial Aid of any additional financial aid you receive from sources outside Loyola. Receipt of additional financial aid may result in an adjustment of the financial aid offered by Loyola.
You are required to notify the Office of Financial Aid of any change in your name, address, enrollment status, anticipated graduation date, housing status (on-campus, off-campus, with parents), or other changes related to your attendance at Loyola.
Financial aid for subsequent years will be considered only if all renewal application materials, including the CSS Profile Application, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are submitted by the appropriate financial aid deadlines.
The total dollar amounts listed on the Financial Aid Award Notification are yearly awards which are divided in equal amounts (unless specified otherwise) between the fall and spring terms. All financial aid (except Federal Work-Study) is credited to your student account as soon as it is determined that you have a) registered for the required number of credits and b) completed all processes and procedures as required by each financial aid program. Funds not needed to complete payment of the University charges will be refunded by check within the later of 14 days after the first day of the enrollment period or 14 days after the loan proceeds deposit occurs.
The proceeds from Federal Direct Stafford Loans and Loyola Student Loans are credited to a student's account after the University receives confirmation that an electronic master promissory note for each program has been completed and signed. New Federal Direct Stafford Loan borrowers must complete "Entrance Counseling" before loan proceeds can be credited.
Students who accept loans can complete loan master promissory notes, loan entrance counseling, and truth-in-lending acknowledgement documents that are associated with each loan program by clicking here.
When a student withdraws from Loyola and is due a refund under the University's refund policy and has received financial assistance from federal student aid programs (other than Federal Work-Study), a portion of the refund will be returned to the programs from which the student was funded. The federal student aid portion of the refund will be determined according to procedures specified by the U.S. Department of Education. Students employed under the Federal Work-Study program are entitled to all wages earned up to the date of withdrawal from the University.
Except as otherwise noted in the individual program descriptions, all awards require that you be continuously enrolled for at least 12 credits per term. You must notify the Office of Financial Aid if you fail to register for the required number of credits for any term in which you are receiving aid. If you are considering withdrawing from a course, you should first contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine what effect such action may have on your financial aid.
Federal regulations require that a student receiving federal financial aid make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in accordance with standards set by the University. Students are normally expected to complete their undergraduate degree within eight terms. Loyola University Maryland is not obligated to continue institutionally funded forms of financial aid to a student who requires more than eight terms to complete degree requirements. However, federal regulations allow federal aid recipients to complete their degree program in no more than 150 percent of the published length of the program in credit hours. Students who complete at least 67 percent of attempted credits are considered to be making satisfactory progress toward completion of degree requirements if they achieve and maintain a 2.0 minimum grade point average by the end of their second year.
Students who fail to meet these quantitative and/or qualitative minimum standards will be denied financial aid. Students may regain eligibility by enrolling in the University at their own expense and resolving the deficiencies identified in the SAP review process. Students also have the option of submitting a written appeal explaining the special circumstances that contributed to their inability to make academic progress. A written academic plan may be required as part of the appeal review process.
Financial aid based on federal and institutional eligibility formulas is granted for one academic year only. The CSS Profile Application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be submitted each year you are applying for financial aid. Renewal awards are based on continued demonstrated financial need and satisfactory academic progress toward a degree.
Students who are suspended from the University as the result of a violation of the Student Code of Conduct or the Honor Code will forfeit eligibility for institutionally funded need-based grant assistance for additional semesters needed to complete an undergraduate degree. Academic scholarship recipients who are suspended from the University risk complete termination of the scholarship award.
Under the Federal Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), students who are convicted for any offense related to any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs will lose eligibility for any type of Title IV, HEA grant, loan or work-study assistance.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
The financial aid office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term. The federal Title IV financial aid programs must be recalculated in these situations.
If a student leaves the institution prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term, the financial aid office recalculates eligibility for Title IV funds. Recalculation is based on the percentage of earned aid using the following Federal Return of Title IV funds formula:
Percentage of payment period or term completed = the number of days completed up to the withdrawal date divided by the total days in the payment period or term. (Any break of five days or more is not counted as part of the days in the term.) This percentage is also the percentage of earned aid.
Funds are returned to the appropriate federal program based on the percentage of unearned aid using the following formula:
Aid to be returned = (100% of the aid that could be disbursed minus the percentage of earned aid) multiplied by the total amount of aid that could have been disbursed during the payment period or term.
Aid to be returned = (100% of the aid that could be disbursed minus the percentage of earned aid) multiplied by the total amount of aid that could have been disbursed during the payment period or term.
If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would be required to return a portion of the funds and the student would be required to return a portion of the funds. Keep in mind that when Title IV funds are returned, the student borrower may owe a debit balance to the institution.
If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the institution would owe the student a post-withdrawal disbursement which must be paid within 180 days of the student's withdrawal.
The institution must return the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 45 days after the date of the determination of the date of the student's withdrawal.
Federal aid will be returned in the following order:
All students who demonstrate financial aid eligibility based on financial need are expected to meet their first level of need by borrowing through federal and institutional student loan programs. The maximum annual amount students are expected to borrow through a combination of federal and institutional student loan programs is determined on an annual basis.
Students who do not demonstrate need based on either the Federal Methodology or Institutional Methodology need analysis formulas may consider borrowing funds through the unsubsidized versions of the federal and private alternative student loan programs. Interest begins to accrue immediately after the first disbursement on unsubsidized student loans.
Parents of undergraduate students may borrow up to the full cost of attendance minus other forms of financial aid through the Federal Direct Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) Program. This loan program is unsubsidized and not need-based.
Students awarded Presidential Scholarships, Dean Scholarships, Loyola Scholarships, Transfer Awards, and Knott Scholarships must maintain the term and cumulative GPA requirements and credit completion requirements specified in the original scholarship award letter. All academic scholarships are awarded for a four-year period only and may only be applied to tuition charges. Students who are suspended from the University as a result of violations of the Student Code of Conduct of the Honor Code risk complete termination of the scholarship award.
Eligibility for all Loyola Grant awards is determined annually based on changes in family income, assets, family size, and the number of dependent children enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program.
Athletic grants are awarded by the director of athletics and are administered in accordance with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules, regulations and recommended policies.
The amount of the Federal Work-Study award listed on the Financial Aid Award Notification is an estimate of what a student may earn during the academic year. The award is earned on a biweekly basis according to the number of hours the student works. Working hours are generally limited to 10 to 15 hours per week while classes are in session. Students are paid an hourly rate of $11.00. Federal Work-Study earnings cannot be automatically applied to University charges. Students who accept Federal Work-Study awards are sent information in August which outlines the procedures to begin the FWS job search. All work-study jobs are on-campus in administrative or academic departments or through programs in partnership with the University's Center for Community Service and Justice. Students studying abroad will forfeit Federal Work-Study Assistance for the entire academic year.
The proceeds of student and parent loans (federal, institutional and private) must be disbursed to Loyola and credited to a student's account no later than May 1st of the current academic year. Therefore, all loan application procedures, including completion of the loan promissory note and final approval, should be completed at least two weeks prior to the May 1st processing deadline date.

Find out why Lauren in Ithaca is a Carrotmobber!
Lauren is a leader in the sustainability movement at Ithaca College and started Carrotmobbing last April. She first learned about the Carrotmob model from a SUNY Oswego student at the Association for the Advancement for Sustainability in Higher Education Conference, watched this video, and was convinced. The rest is history!
Why do you Carrotmob?
I was drawn to the movement because of the "win-win" deal it creates. I Carrotmob because it gives consumers and local businesses the power to create positive change within the local and global community.
What's your favorite part of a campaign?
During the event, at the peak of its busyness, just seeing the line of customers to check out growing so long that it actually extends right out the door. I get satisfaction knowing that the longer that line gets, the greater impact we are creating as a community. I also enjoy having live, musical performances at the event because it makes it even more of a party. I love seeing all the small details that have been planned out for months come together to create a successful and fun event.
What's your secret for getting such a big crowd of people to attend?
We use a lot of guerrilla advertising tactics like putting fliers in *unconventional* places. We also have Net Impact members take turns wearing a carrot costume and walking around campus telling people about the event. Facebook also helps!
Plans for 2013?
Net Impact organizes one Carrotmob a semester so look out for our Spring 2013 campaign at another local Ithaca business!
For advancing sustainability through its 2012 Carrotmob campaign, Ithaca College's Net Impact chapter was given a "Sign of Sustainability" award by Sustainable Tompkins! Congratulations mobbers!

Contact: Amanda Dahl, NAIA Manager of Sports Information & Media Services, email@example.com
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Southern Oregon and Wayland Baptist's (Texas) Kennedy Kithuka took top honors by winning the team and individual titles, respectively, at the 55th Annual Men's Cross Country National Championships Saturday at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
All five of Southern Oregon's runners placed among the top 50 to total 105 points for its first-ever National Championship. Wayland Baptist was the runner-up, registering the program's highest finish at the event with 124 points. Three-time defending National Champion Malone (Ohio) placed third with 251 points. Shawnee State (Ohio) and Eastern Oregon rounded out the top-five teams with 254 and 276 points, respectively.
"The competition level is so close and we knew that it would come down to who's day it was today," Southern Oregon head men's cross country coach Brent Erickson said. "We knew that both Malone and Wayland Baptist would be really good, but we really had our guys running well today.
"Waiting to hear who had won [the team title] was like sitting on pins and needles," Erickson said. "We knew that Wayland Baptist did really well. When we heard we had won, it was such a great feeling knowing that all of our hard work paid off."
The Raiders were paced by a trio of All-Americans in senior David Laney, sophomore Zach Elliott and junior Ryan Sorenson en route to winning the program's first-ever National Championship. Laney led the charge with a fourth-place finish, completing the 8K course in 24:57.
"It's amazing to see the group come together and perform the way they did," Erickson said. "This feeling is like second to none. Knowing where this program was three years ago when I first came in and seeing how much hard work everyone has put in, it's amazing. They are a great group student-athletes to work with. It's so hard to describe. It's amazing."
Not only was the reigning team champion dethroned, but so was the individual titlist. Kithuka cruised through the course in 24:02 to take the individual crown, finishing 39 seconds ahead of runner-up Abednego Magut of Azusa Pacific (Calif.). Magut completed the course in 24:41. Shorter (Ga.) freshman Paul Chelimo's 24:44 earned him third-place finish. Southern Oregon's Laney took fourth and DJ Flores of Eastern Oregon placed fifth in 25:00. Defending champion Silas Kisorio of Oklahoma Christian placed 10th.
"I was confident that I was going to win today," Kithuka said. "I ran fast during the first two laps and I relaxed during the last lap."
Kithuka caps off his rookie campaign with the highest honor after earning National Runner of the Week honors on three occasions this season. He is also Wayland Baptist's first-ever national titlist.
The 2010 National Championships were hosted by the Cascade Collegiate Conference and Concordia (Ore.). It was the second-consecutive year that the event had been held at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.

Leave a comment
Imagine an employee who performs multiple roles for you — PR, branding, lead generation and customer communications to name a few. Now imagine this employee works 24 hours a day and never calls in sick. With a well-planned and properly designed website, that's exactly what you get… a round-the-clock virtual employee to further your company's growth.
You deserve the kind of website that makes customers say "wow" and "thank you" at the same time. The "wow" part comes from an attractive web design that enhances your company's brand. The "thank you" part comes from quality content and ease of navigation.
But let's not forget other important factors in a good internet presence. A fast loading website (24 seconds or less on a 56K connection) is gaining significance in the online world. Many think that to have an attractive website, you have to have one that takes a long time to load. This is not true. Web designers who really know their trade can build an online presence for you that is fast and appealing to the eye.
>> What is the load time of your website?
Also take note that most sites are moving away from the graphic heavy design and towards sites that contain text menus and no flash or animated gifs. This will ensure that your site can be crawled easily by search engines and will be better on the eyes of those who are visually challenged. This may seem like small potatoes to your current clients, but what about your current clients in 10 years? And don't forget about new clients that may choose you over your competitors for the sole reason that your site was easy to use!
Internet marketing companies such as Intra-Focus, Inc. give you these things and more through their web development and design services. Not only do they have many years of experience, but they also continue to follow trends and learn about new technologies and internet guidelines. As an added bonus, you can use Intra-Site which helps you to manage incoming web traffic, customer communication and lead generation!
The Ideal Website Design Process
Before Intra-Focus designs a single element of a website, they actively get to know you and your organization. They do this through a combination of conference calls, survey questionnaires, and in-person meetings. What is your company all about? Who is your audience? What sets you apart from the competition?
Any good design company wants to hear you describe these things in your own words. Armed with this information, they can design a website that will enhance your company's brand and help you achieve your objectives, while still presenting your site with today's internet standards in mind.
If your web design company hasn't been focusing on the items mentioned in this article, then there is a good chance that you are using someone who is behind the times. Approach them with your concerns. If they don't seem troubled or cannot fix the problems, it is time to create an internet marketing relationship elsewhere.
Have questions or need a quote on a website build? Contact Intra-Focus today and ask about their corporate web design and internet branding services.

Also for other rookies I had to run the bootstrap/configure commands as sudo
You had to run the bootstrap/configure commands as sudo because you grabbed the repository as sudo, so your local user didn't have permissions to write to the directory. You can fix this in the future by doing a
sudo chown -R username.usernmae directory
username obviously being your local user and directory being the xbmc directory.

Update 2 Problems in updating Kaspersky Lab anti-virus software led to some machines locking up.The Russian anti-virus firm said the problem was due to an error in a threat signature update issued on Thursday, which are now resolved. It apologised for problems caused by the SNAFU, which were severe for those affected.
"This error led to system instabilities and, in some rare instances, to system failure on a limited number of computers with Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0, Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations MP2 and MP3," a statement for Kaspersky explained.
"Unfortunately, the error did not occur when the defective threat signature update was initially installed, but only when the next correct update was performed. Therefore, the error was not detected during internal testing of the defective update and was subsequently sent out to users of the company's products."
The SNAFU affected both consumers and corporate users. Windows PCs bugs hit by the bug after applying the faulty anti-virus definition files displayed the message "previous application launch failed" before becoming stuck in an endless loop. The problem caused all sorts of grief for sys admins administering users running Kaspersky's anti-virus software package, according to forum postings.
Updates reportedly froze 26 per cent of the way through the process. Thereafter machines operate at a snail's pace, forcing users to reboot.
"In the vast majority of cases, users can rectify the error by rebooting their computer. In any other cases, the error can be removed with the assistance of the company's free 24-hour technical support service," Kaspersky advised.
David Emm, senior technology consultant at Kaspersky Lab UK, said Kaspersky developed a resolution for the problem at 10pm GMT (01:00 Moscow time) on Thursday. The exact cause of the glitch is still under investigation.
Kaspersky is working with affected customers in attempting to resolve the any lingering problem. It's unclear how many punters worldwide were affected (quite a few in the Antipodes judging by forum posts). Few, if any, UK users of Kaspersky have been hit because of the timing of the release. Kaspersky said it was reviewing its testing procedures to prevent a repition of the problem.
"Kaspersky Lab deeply apologises for any inconvenience caused to users by the error. The company's technical support service is currently making every effort to minimize its effects. Furthermore, measures will be taken in the nearest future to upgrade the internal testing system for Kaspersky Lab updates, in order to prevent the repetition of any similar errors in future," it said.
Duff anti-virus signature updates are rare but not unprecedented and generally cause far less inconvenience than computer viruses. Nonetheless their very occurrence illustrates some of the pitfalls of the anti-virus scanner approach created by the need for frequent updates. In April 2005, for example, a duff anti-virus signature update from Trend Micro floored the PCs of many who applied it. ®

It hasn't even been three days since "Keith's Brewers Rap" came up on the scene, crispy and clean, but that was ample time for BenLah Music to come correct with "The 2011 Brewers (remix of Keith's Brewers Rap)."
For the record, the Brew Crew lost four games in the three days since Keith's original video went public. They've been outscored 24-4, almost got perfect-gamed last night and haven't won since April 29. Let's see a video about that.
