&lt;br /&gt;
Since the two were extremely similar in theme, we were sure that his 2012 State of the Union would be a regurgitation of the last two. Needless to say, we were not disappointed as our table below shows the major points in each of the past 3 speeches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;table border="1" style="width: 450px;"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr style="background-color: orange; color: black;"&gt;&lt;th colspan="3"&gt;Obama's State of the Union Theme&lt;/th&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;" width="33%"&gt;2012&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;" width="34%"&gt;2011&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;" width="33%"&gt;2010&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Manufacturing&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Education&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Education&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Education&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Research&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Research / Innovation&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Innovation&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Clean Energy&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Technology &amp;amp; Clean Energy&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Clean Energy&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Infrastructure&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Infrastructure&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;Infrastructure&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was interesting is that this year, he boldly added a new category "Manufacturing" and dropped last year's "Technology" push.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the President is now pushing his concept of "fairness" (where everyone plays by the same rules and pays their own fair share), we wonder whether there is any financial connection his use of U.S. taxpayer funds for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;his Manufacturing and Research proposals and GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;his Education focus and his friend Bill Ayers who also promotes education&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;his Clean Energy drive and the 3 bankrupt clean energy companies that received Department of Energy funding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;his push to rebuild the country's infrastructure (bridges, roads, railway) and his friend Warren Buffet who owns BNSF Railway (Burlington Northern &amp;amp; Santa Fe railroads)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
At least this year, many other professional writers and newsmen have realized the concurrent theme in each of his speeches, and his lack of originality.&amp;nbsp; For example, Townhall published a post &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2012/01/25/wow_rnc_video_highlights_obama_sotu_deja_vu" target="_blank"&gt;Wow: RNC Video Highlights Obama SOTU Deja Vu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; which contains the following video:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="274" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UDDRiGIUYQo" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be fair to the President however, we must commend him for sticking to the same political platform during his presidential term.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7995048280264754252-1852472380901927912?l=asktheblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Last week, we began receiving 500 and 503 errors from one of our affiliate stores. This had the undesirable side effect of placing our local instance of Apache's web server in an error state and thus taking our site offline for several hours each day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We realized that our site was down, but did not know why. After reading through our servers log files, we discovered the 5xx errors. After researching these http error codes, we found that we could not fix these errors directly. Instead, we had to correct the root cause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Searching through our affiliate's website, we found that they will return these error codes when their server receives too many requests from a particular IP. So, we returned back to our log files and found that the Bing, Yahoo, and Live crawlers were simultaneously requesting many of our pages at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to fix our problem, we had to slow down these crawlers. Our first action was to add a crawl delay to our robots.txt file. Initially, we set this to 60 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, we discovered &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bing.com/toolbox/webmaster/" target="_blank"&gt;Bing Webmaster Tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to utilize this, we needed to sign in with our Windows LiveID. We did not have one so we created a new one. That was very easy and we were able to Sign In to that site within minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next,&amp;nbsp; we had to add our site to the crawler. The Bing Webmaster Home page has two sections. The first is for messages, and the second is for sites. We found the "&lt;b&gt;Add Site&lt;/b&gt;" link and submitted our site's URL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, it takes about 3 days before any statistics are displayed. So, we just waited.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once we saw that Bing was crawling and indexing our pages, we were then able to reduce the crawl rate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was done by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Signing into the Bing Webmaster Tools&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clicking on our site's URL listed in the Sites section.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;That brought us to the Dashboard page.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At the top is a "&lt;b&gt;Crawl&lt;/b&gt;" link, and we clicked on it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The next page then provided a sub-menu.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We clicked on the "&lt;b&gt;Crawl Settings&lt;/b&gt;" link and it brought us to a graphical "Crawl Rate" page.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;We lowered our Crawl rate to Minimum (by highlighting the boxes for each hour of the day)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And lastly, we pressed the "&lt;b&gt;Save&lt;/b&gt;" link.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Within 2 days, the Bing, Yahoo, and Live crawlers were behaving properly, and all of our HTTP 5xx errors disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this process, we learned five important things about crawlers:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Google bot crawl rate is well behaved, and does not overwhelm your server&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Google crawler ignores the "Crawl-delay" command in the robots.txt&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bing only allows a maximum crawl-delay of 4 seconds&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once your site becomes large enough, the crawling bots can harm your site&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Crawlers are tamable.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
Note: To set a crawl delay in your robots.txt file, enter the two lines:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;User-Agent: *&lt;br /&gt;Crawl-delay: 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
at the top of the file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Even if you are not experiencing problems with your website, we suggest that you submit your site to&amp;nbsp; Bing Webmaster Tools. Although the interface is slow, it provides a wide variety of information about your website which is a great complement to the Google Webmaster Tools.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7995048280264754252-3788839761332815745?l=asktheblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It said they released an "embedded" or "threaded" commenting feature which is available to all Blogger users.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eager to try it out, I read their post:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://buzz.blogger.com/2012/01/engage-with-your-readers-through.html" target="_blank"&gt;Engage with your readers through threaded commenting.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;While it says that this feature is automatically enabled for all users, I found that it was necessary for me to change my settings for it to take effect&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; I did this by following their instructions in the blog post. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, I went to my "&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: orange;"&gt;Settings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" menu and clicked on the "&lt;b style="background-color: orange; color: black;"&gt;Other&lt;/b&gt;" choice. Then, I made sure that the "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Allow Blog Feed?&lt;/b&gt;" choice was set to "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Full&lt;/b&gt;".&amp;nbsp; Since I already had this done, I did not have to changed anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, I selected the "&lt;b style="background-color: orange;"&gt;Posts and comments&lt;/b&gt;" choice under "&lt;b style="background-color: orange; color: black;"&gt;Settings&lt;/b&gt;" and looked the "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Comment Location&lt;/b&gt;" pull-down setting in the &lt;b&gt;Comments &lt;/b&gt;section. This I had to change this to "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Embedded&lt;/b&gt;". Once done, I saved the settings and checked them again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Note: This has to be done for each of your Blogger Blogs!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Usually, whenever I make a change to my settings, all of my Blogger blogs are automatically updated. But, this is not the case for embedded comments.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;So, if you have more than one blog, make sure you check them all.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, I found a recent comment that one of my readers left and I responded. Like magic, my reply was embedded as a thread under the original comment (shown above).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wow! This is one great improvement. Thanks Blogger!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7995048280264754252-4991037841976226294?l=asktheblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His decision and action is a very serious threat to his career which&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Could lead to his Impeachment
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
for various reasons. At issue is Obama's assertion that the Senate is not in session and he therefore has the authority to make temporary recess appointments. However, as defined by the Constitution, the Senate is indeed in session which means that Obama cannot make a recess appointment. Although the President is frustrated by this constitutional provision, he (nor any other President) has the authority to decide when the Senate is in session.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a Washington Post newspaper article titled &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/14/AR2010101405441.html"&gt;Call the Senate's bluff on recess appointments&lt;/a&gt; as grounds for his authority, Obama defied the Constitution and jeopordized his career by appointing Cordray.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are his statements on the White House blog regarding Cordray's appointment along with our comments.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;table border="1" style="width: 500px;"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr style="background-color: #ffe599;"&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Excerpts from &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/01/04/americas-consumer-watchdog"&gt;The White House Blog: America's Consumer Watchdog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The President nominated Mr. Cordray last summer.  Unfortunately, Republicans in the Senate blocked his confirmation.  
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: The Constitution grants the Senate sole authority to confirm appointments when it is in session (Art II Sec 2 CL 2)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;And we can’t wait for Republicans in the Senate to act.  
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: The President does not have authority to disregard Republican Senators (Art II Sec 2 CL 2)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Now, you might hear some folks across the aisle criticize this “recess appointment.”&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: The Senate is in session (Art I Sec 5 Clauses 1, 2 &amp;amp; 4) and therefore a recess appointment may not be constitutionally made.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Here are the facts:
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Constitution gives the President the authority to make temporary recess appointments to fill vacant positions when the Senate is in recess, a power all recent Presidents have exercised.  
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: True (Art II Sec 2 CL 2)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Senate has effectively been in recess for weeks, and is expected to remain in recess for weeks.  
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: Not True, this false statement misleads the public (Art I Sec 5 Clauses 1, 2 &amp;amp; 4). Senate sessions have been held and a Journal of its Proceedings have been maintained.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;In an overt attempt to prevent the President from exercising his authority during this period, Republican Senators insisted on using a gimmick called “pro forma” sessions, which are sessions during which no Senate business is conducted and instead one or two Senators simply gavel in and out of session in a matter of seconds.  
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: Disgraces the Office of President by labeling Senate sessions as a "gimmick" (Art I Sec 5 Clauses 1, 2 &amp;amp; 4)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;But gimmicks do not override the President’s constitutional authority to make appointments to keep the government running.  Legal experts agree.  
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment: False. The President does not have constitutional authority to make appointments to keep the government running when the Senate is in session (Art II Sec 2 CL 2). And, this statement again disgraces the Office of President by labeling Senate sessions as a "gimmick" (Art I Sec 5 Clauses 1, 2 &amp;amp; 4)
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;In fact, the lawyers who advised President Bush on recess appointments &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/14/AR2010101405441.html"&gt;wrote&lt;/a&gt; that the Senate cannot use sham “pro forma” sessions to prevent the President from exercising a constitutional power.
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
Comment:  The source for this statement is a Washington Post article written by two attorneys that advocate that the President "Call the Senate's bluff on recess appointments". Referring to "pro forma" Senate sessions as a "sham" indicates that Obama has no respect for the Constitution or the Oath he swore to.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Obama's problem is that the Constitution is "the supreme Law of the Land"&lt;/b&gt; (Art VI CL 2).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like all other Presidents, Obama swore to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" (Art II Sec 1 CL 8), and he is bound by that oath to support the Constitution (Art VI CL 3). By declaring that the Senate is not in Session, and disregarding its content regarding Appointments, the President committed perjury which is a high crime or misdemeanor as defined by the source quoted below.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that if indeed President Obama did commit perjury, then he is subject to Impeachment (Art II Sec 4). 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many news reporters and talk show hosts are claiming that the Supreme Court may be asked to determine if Obama's action violated the Constitution. However, Article I Section 3 Clause 6 states that the Senate has sole Power to try the President.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will be interesting to see if the Senate follows through with its authority to ensure that the President abides by his Oath and determine whether President Obama did indeed violate his Constitutional limits and Oath. If so, then he must be Impeached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;td colspan="3" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Excerpts from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.constitution.org/cmt/high_crimes.htm"&gt;Meaning of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Perjury is usually defined as "lying under oath". That is not quite right. The original meaning was "violation of one's oath (or affirmation)".
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Art. II Sec. 1 Cl. 8, the president must swear: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." He is bound by this oath in all matters until he leaves office. No additional oath is needed to bind him to tell the truth in anything he says, as telling the truth is pursuant to all matters except perhaps those relating to national security. Any public statement is perjury if it is a lie, and not necessary to deceive an enemy.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a person takes an oath (or affirmation) before giving testimony, he is assuming the role of an official, that of "witness under oath", for the duration of his testimony. That official position entails a special obligation to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and in that capacity, one is punishable in a way he would not be as an ordinary person not under oath. Therefore, perjury is a high crime.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An official such as the president does not need to take a special oath to become subject to the penalties of perjury. He took an oath, by Art. II Sec. 1 Cl. 8, to "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States" and to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" to the best of his ability. While he holds that office, he is always under oath, and lying at any time constitutes perjury if it is not justified for national security.
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;

The relevant excerpts below summarize certain Powers of the President and Senate of the United States regarding duties, oaths, and sessions (see Source 1 below).&lt;br /&gt;

After three continuous years of service, this World Class Advertising network is calling it quits.&amp;nbsp; Unfortunately, the costs to operate the service exceed the revenues generated. And, with a 3 year IRS rule that requires small companies to earn a profit else lose the ability to deduct its losses, Adgitize like many, is forced to close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Compounding the problem is that the Adgitize network required a 24 by 7 support effort. Its owner, Ken seemed to never sleep. He was there to help everyone open an account, approve the ads, answer questions, collect and forward payments and more.&amp;nbsp; (His wife was probably ready to divorce him).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet Adgitize was a great service for all of us bloggers. It brought many of us together and forged many friendships. Being required to click on 51 or 100 blogs a day, many of us became regular visitors of other blogs. We looked forward to reading new articles and watching them grow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being awarded points for publishing an article forced most of us to write new posts daily. We learned how to think of new topics, and write concise and interesting articles on short notice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are going to miss the organization that Adgitize brought to our blogging lives. There is my:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ode to Adgitize&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
There will be No more:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Member's Lounge,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Preferred Publishers,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Leaderboard,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Conversations in the Forum.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
We'll miss:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Daily Earnings&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Clicks Earned Today&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Page Views Today&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Ad Views Earned Today.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
And Gone are:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Total Points Earned This Month,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Blogs Not Clicked Today.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
and More. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
But most importantly,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
we lose the&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Adgitize Portal&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
and&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Ken Brown Administrator.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Although I've only achieved&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Mentor status in the Forum,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I'm sure the Marketing Masters,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Teachers, Scouts, Tenderfoots, and Students, &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
will all miss the Forum.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While you may may gone,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
You will never be forgotten.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
They say the good die young&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
and we will continue to make you proud.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
So until we meet again,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Goodbye my friend,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Goodbye&lt;/div&gt;

Dreams of toys, presents, and games are filling their thoughts. Dolls and clothes, iPods and more are filling their dreams. Wagons and bikes, tractors and trucks, books and videos, ho ho ho.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Grown-ups alike are secretly praying that Santa surprises, a car, a tie, a dress, a necklace, perhaps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From North to South and East to West, all eyes will be on the skies. Looking for the glitter, the twinkle, or blur that marks Santa's invisible dash of a magical flight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Let all be well from here to yon. But most importantly, let good health be sprinkled on all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ho ho ho.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div style="color: blue; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;to all&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the 
most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history. And what did it get 
us? The slowest job growth in half a century. &lt;/b&gt;Massive deficits that have
 made it much harder to pay for the investments that built this country 
and provided the basic security that helped millions of Americans reach 
and stay in the middle class -- things like education and 
infrastructure, science and technology, Medicare and Social Security. (&lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/12/06/remarks-president-economy-osawatomie-kansas" target="_blank"&gt;Remarks by the President on the Economy in Osawatomie, Kansas&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, my recollection of those years is one of lower unemployment and economic prosperity for most of us in the middle class. I wasn't sure if I was correct, so I visited the Bureau of Labor Statistics and found the following graph: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;img border="1" height="333" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N7cgiyeLy-o/TuJucYT-3pI/AAAAAAAAAH0/S8VRGxrvE_g/s400/unemp.gif" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Source: &lt;a href="http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&amp;amp;graph_name=LN_cpsbref3" target="_blank"&gt;Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;This shows the unemployment rate from January 2001 through November 2011. As shown, the unemployment rate increased from 4.2% in January 2001 to a peak of 6.3% in June 2003. Then it declined to 4.4% in May 2007. It rose modestly to 4.8% in February 2008 when President Obama took office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After this new administration took control, the unemployment rate more than doubled. The unemployment rate hit a peak of 10.1% in October 2009 and has since fallen to 8.6% in November 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So my memory was correct. Since Congress passed the two tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, the economy picked up again. More people were employed and the job growth increased until 2008.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reading President Obama's statement again, I realized the distortion in his words:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the 
most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history. And what did it get 
us? The slowest job growth in half a century.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
His message is misleading because it implies that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts led directly to a period of slow job growth. &lt;b&gt;This is false. As we can see, the tax cuts were followed by 5 years of job growth and lower unemployment. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;It wasn't until 2008 when Obama took office that unemployment climbed and America began experiencing a 3 year period of slow and stagnant job growth.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semantically and factually though, the President's comment is indeed truthful because: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; we are experiencing the slowest job growth in half a century, and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;it is after the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
However, his conclusion "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;And what did it get us?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;" is factually incorrect and misleading. To be more accurate, President Obama should have concluded:&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The slowest job growth in half a century&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; after I took office&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7995048280264754252-5051821850279164798?l=asktheblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/WhiteHouseSouthFacade.JPG/248px-WhiteHouseSouthFacade.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/WhiteHouseSouthFacade.JPG/248px-WhiteHouseSouthFacade.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I am often amused when I read that the First Family and their employees have renamed the White House to the "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;People's House&lt;/b&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, in her &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/11/21/remarks-first-lady-country-music-student-workshop" target="_blank"&gt;remarks at a Country Music Student Workshop&lt;/a&gt;, Mrs. Obama stated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"&lt;i&gt;Well, we are excited to have you all here.&amp;nbsp; We’ve invited you here 
because I want to make sure that the White House lives up to the name 
“&lt;b&gt;The People’s House.&lt;/b&gt;”&amp;nbsp; That’s what everybody calls it, what we call it&lt;/i&gt;". &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, Megan Slack wrote in the White House blog article &lt;a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/11/29/archives-holidays-white-house" target="_blank"&gt;From the Archives: Holidays at the White House&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"&lt;i&gt;The holidays are a special time at the White House. The President and 
First Lady have made it their mission to open the “&lt;b&gt;People’s House&lt;/b&gt;” to as
 many Americans as possible, and this is never more true than around the
 holidays&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally I wondered: What exactly is the "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;People's House&lt;/b&gt;"?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After doing a bit of web research, I discovered that the term "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;People's House&lt;/b&gt;" is actually the name of the palace that the Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu built for himself and his wife as he "&lt;a href="http://www.bucharest-life.com/bucharest/palace-of-parliament" target="_blank"&gt;drove Romania from a state       of relative economic well-being to near starvation&lt;/a&gt;". According to &lt;a href="http://www.bucharest-life.com/bucharest/palace-of-parliament" target="_blank"&gt;The People's Palace: Ceausescu's Lasting, Loathed Legacy&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"&lt;i&gt;Ceausescu achieved the idea for '&lt;b&gt;The People's House&lt;/b&gt;' after a visit to 
North Korea's Kim II-sung in 1972. The '&lt;b&gt;People's House&lt;/b&gt;' would be the 
largest, most lavish palace in the world and would hold all the 
functions of his socialist state, as well as serve as a handsome 
residence for he and his wife&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a href="http://www.historyguide.org/europe/ceausescu.html" target="_blank"&gt;History Guide's page Nicolae Ceausescu, 1918-1989&lt;/a&gt; describes Ceausescu reign:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.bucharest-life.com/media/pics/palace-of-parliament.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.bucharest-life.com/media/pics/palace-of-parliament.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;i&gt;While following an independent policy in foreign relations, Ceausescu
      adhered ever more closely to the communist orthodoxy of centralized
      administration at home. His secret police maintained rigid controls over
      free speech and the media and tolerated no internal dissent or opposition.
      In an effort to pay off the large foreign debt that his government had
      accumulated through its mismanaged industrial ventures in the 1970s,
      Ceausescu in 1982 ordered the export of much of the country's agricultural
      and industrial production. The resulting drastic shortages of food, fuel,
      energy, medicines, and other basic necessities ... &lt;/i&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reading the above, one might begin to compare the Presidency of Barack Obama and that of Ceausescu. Both have created their own independent foreign policies, controlled the media, and accumulated massive debts. Obama is exporting much of our industrial production to China.&amp;nbsp; His proposed "American Jobs Act" imposes massive taxes on the oil industry which may increase our dependence on foreign oil, and Obamacare may lead to shortages in medicines and medical care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, perhaps the Obama references to our endeared White House as the "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;People's House&lt;/b&gt;" is a foreshadow of things to come in America.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To do this, simply go to your Blogger dashboard and select the blog you wish to change. Then click on the "Template" choice on the left side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There, you will see two template frames. The one on the left is the template that is live on your blog. The one on the right is what will display on your mobile phone browser. If you want to change it:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;click on the wheel below the mobile display (which brings up a little pop up)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;click the choice: "Yes. Show mobile template on mobile devices" at top left,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;then on left under "Choose mobile template", pull down the menu to view choices (note that Default is a valid choice)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;select a template&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;press the "Preview" button to see your mobile template&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;and lastly, press the Save button on bottom right.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
If you have a relatively new mobile phone with browser capabilities and the internet, you will then see your new template appear on your phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did this a while ago but nothing happened with my 6 year old phone. But, I replaced that with a new Blackberry about a month ago and was thrilled with the difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I use the "Default" template and it loads extremely quickly on the phone. It isn't fancy, but looks real good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, if you haven't looked at your mobile template lately, you may want to make this slight improvement to your blog.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, I completed the post and published the article.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have done this many times before and believed all would be well. However, when I checked my Adgitize publish logs, I discovered that I was not awarded credit for publishing an article on Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I checked Blogger and discovered that it recorded the publish date as the time that I created the post, not the time that I published it. Being certain that I did indeed publish the article on Wednesday, I decided to check my Feedburner feed. Sure enough, the post was correctly timestamped with the Wednesday morning publish time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I then examined the feed XML and found the following:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;table border="1" style="width: 440px;"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;entry gd:etag="W/&amp;amp;quot;CkQAQ3g6fSp7ImA9WhRSFEk.&amp;amp;quot;"&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;id&amp;gt;tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840318485170380914.post-9195612107966537627&amp;lt;/id&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;published&amp;gt;2011-11-15T14:32:00.001-08:00&amp;lt;/published&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;updated&amp;gt;2011-11-16T02:45:42.615-08:00&amp;lt;/updated&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;lt;app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app"&amp;gt;2011-11-16T02:45:42.615-08:00&amp;lt;/app:edited&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Mega Millions" /&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Crazy Combos" /&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;lt;title&amp;gt;Tuesday Mega Millions Results 11/15/11 - Next Jackpot $40M&amp;lt;/title&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sure enough, Blogger marked the post publish date with the creation date (in red). It does have the correct update time and Feedburner has the correct entry as well (both shown in blue).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;This is an old Blogger bug that I wrote about in August of 2009, but it was fixed shortly thereafter&lt;/b&gt; (see &lt;a href="http://asktheblogster.blogspot.com/2009/08/feedburner-publish-date-verses-blogger.html" target="_blank"&gt;Feedburner Publish Date verses Blogger Entry Date&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For whatever reason, it appears that this old bug has recently resurfaced and the original fix is lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;So, if any of you any of you begin writing a post on one day and publish it on another date, beware!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully Blogger will realize its error and fix it shortly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;PS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I am not sure if this same behavior applies to scheduled posts as well. So, I am writing this on Thursday and have scheduled a Friday publish time. If this works properly, then the bug is limited to the new Blogger post editor only. If not, then the problem is more widespread.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
First, it started off with a snowstorm last Saturday. While we only received about 3 to 4 inches of snow, many of the tree limbs and power lines in our neighborhood fell down. Things seemed be fine at home until that night. We were watching the 11 PM TV news that was reporting the various power outages in our area. Then, all of a sudden, "click", everything went off. We were without power.

The next morning the power was still off. We passed the day, hoping that the electricity would be restored but it wasn't. So, we packed our bags and drove to a friend's house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Monday was Halloween and the power was still off. The local police were estimating that the lights would come back on Wednesday. 

That night, instead of hosting the Trick or Treaters, I had an MRI of the brain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was leaving the facility, my wife called and said the power was back. We then repacked our belongings and went back home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Thursday, I visited the doctor who gave me the good news that I did not have a brain tumor, just water in the ear. Thank God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now tomorrow, we are flying down to Florida to enjoy a week in the sun. We haven't been away for quite a while and we are looking forward to just relaxing before the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays begin. Because of this, I will be skipping next week's posting on this blog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, if you would like to keep up with our vacation and see what we are doing, I will be posting quick daily summaries on my other blog: &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://travelingfundraiser.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Traveling Fundraiser&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd appreciate your stopping by there and reading it while I am gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cheers!&lt;br /&gt;

While I was on the &lt;b&gt;Dashboard &lt;/b&gt;page, I focused on the "&lt;b&gt;Sitemaps&lt;/b&gt;" section in the lower right of the page. There, it had a link to "&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Submit a Sitemap&lt;/b&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I always ignored this because my blogs are all hosted on Google Blogger and each has only one URL. And, since it was in Blogger, I did not think that I had a sitemap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, being curious, I clicked on the link, and I discovered that since the blog was distributed by &lt;b style="color: #cc0000;"&gt;Feedburner&lt;/b&gt;, I was given the opportunity to submit the sitemap "&lt;b&gt;fe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;b&gt;eds&lt;/b&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;b&gt;/po&lt;/b&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;b&gt;sts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;b&gt;/de&lt;/b&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;b&gt;fau&lt;/b&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;&lt;/wbr&gt;&lt;b&gt;lt&lt;/b&gt;". So, I checked the box and hit the submit button. I then did this for each of my 4 blogger blogs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://plugidea.com/iweb/tutorials/Entries/2010/12/2_Google_Webmaster_Tools_files/iweb-tutorials-google-webmaster-tool-dashboard-example.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="2" height="190" id=":current_picnik_image" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Z_sanGu_LOg/TqrSy7KUGII/AAAAAAAAAHg/2PiIk_fjv1c/s400/17038398425_XpFsT.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day I revisited Webmaster Tools and saw my sitemap listing which had 1 URL in the web index. However, the Status was not checked. Instead it had an error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Great, I thought. I now successfully messed up my blog listing in Google, but I could not figure out how to remove the sitemap. So I just shrugged my shoulders and let it be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;About a week later, I noticed an increase in search traffic primarily from Yahoo, Bing, Ask and even Google.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This week, I noticed that my Sitemap status is now checked with green, meaning it is accepted and is fine. I looked at each blog in Webmaster Tools and saw that each had a green check, meaning they all had an OK status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, I realized that the sitemap submission is responsible for bringing me to more search engine traffic. The sitemap provides a vehicle to help search engines crawl the site more intelligently. Since my Feedburner sitemap provides those engines with an organized list of posts, they are now able to cross-index my content with user submitted search engine requests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;To me, this was one of the missing links in the distribution of my blogs.&lt;/b&gt; Now, my visitor count has tripled on a quiet day, but increased 10-fold on days that I wrote new posts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;So, if your blog is hosted on Blogger and distributed by Feedburner, I suggest you submit your feed as a sitemap to Google. You may initially see the same errors as I did, but within a month you will probably begin receiving more traffic as well!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;I hope this helps each of you. Please let me know if you do submit your sitemap and if your traffic increases as well.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

During this year, we continually collected attempts that tried to penetrate our security and have provided a 2011 summarized the list for reference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://english474awe.weebly.com/uploads/4/7/1/0/4710028/6598284_orig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" id=":current_picnik_image" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ip_8q5G7Szk/TqCBKd4eMuI/AAAAAAAAAHM/Eh34VPfLTR8/s1600/16916066915_mQVqz.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Basically, we find the two most common attacks are focused on taking advantage of PHP and SQL vulnerabilities. Most of the PHP calls attempt to inject an infected http module into PHP so that control of our website is obtained. The SQL attempts appear to be mostly focused on obtaining accessing to the various system administration tools of our system&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New to this years list are attempts to access third-party tools such as:&amp;nbsp; google, yui, api, calendar, friendconnect, scriptaculous, mootools, umbraco, word-press, forums, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In total, our 2011 consolidated hacking list contains 950 entries. A few of these can be considered to be duplicates because they only differ in punctuation, capitalization, and version numbers. However, we decided to publish these differences just to show the various extents that the hackers out there try. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list contains two sections. The section at the top shows the GET requests. We like these because all parameters are completely shown. The bottom section contains the POST requests. While these appear to be complete and sometimes harmless, it is important to remember that the passed parameters are never displayed, thus making the POST attempts much more dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Note: Unfortunately, some of the url's exceed the width of this post and bleed across the entire width of the blog. We know this is unsightly, but we wanted to keep the content in tact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As its underlying premise, the Committee is utilizing &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Brookings Institution's&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; newly drafted proposal which aims at: eliminating the current tax deduction for the 401K and IRA contribution; and, replacing it with one of two options in which the Government credits the depositors account with:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;either 30% of their contribution,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;or 18% of the their contribution.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
On the surface, their proposal seems reasonable. A casual reader would not believe that they would be affected. However:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Every family or individual&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;with an adjusted gross income of 70,000 or greater&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;will experience a tax increase&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;ranging from $283 to $4,322 per year.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Brookings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; proposal contains 2 tables showing this information. The tables are broken down into quintiles of income, which means 20% levels. In their &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;30% Proposal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, those earning less than the top 90% would save on taxes. In their &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;18% Proposal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, those in the lower 80% of earners would save in taxes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;You might say that doesn't affect you. However you would be wrong, because:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the 80% threshold is about $70,000 per year,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the 90% threshold is about $113,800 per year,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the 95-99% threshold is $159,600 per year, and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the top 1% is $380,400 per year.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;If your household tax form income falls within any of these levels, your taxes will increase.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember, the top 25% of tax filers pay about 86% of the total taxes received. And, the top 10% pay 70% of the taxes received by the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Brookings&lt;/i&gt; proposal shows tax savings for those in the first 60% of tax filers. But, of this amount, nearly 50% pay NO taxes at all. So they won't save anything. &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Thus, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: red;"&gt;The Brookings &lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;proposal is misleading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The remainder of us who are still employed and earn more than $70,000 per year (per person or family), will pay more taxes, especially if &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Brookings 18% Proposal &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;is adopted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;So don't be fooled. Tell your Congressman or Senator NOT to support this masked tax hike!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The concept is that it will help to build back links and a social network. However, many new bloggers mistakenly leave useless comments because they think they are doing the right thing. Unfortunately, their initial attempts often fail to promote their blogs because their comments are considered to be spam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Comments arrive in many flavors. Some are written simply to promote their own blogs or products. These I classify as spam and I flag them as such. Usually, if the comment has a link in it, I consider it to be spam. Examples are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nice post - please visit somelink.com&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you're looking for XYZ product, stop by mystore.com&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Just dropped by, anotherspamblog.com&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Sometimes, readers are genuinely writing a supportive complement, phrase or message because they enjoyed reading a post, such as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nice post (same as above but no link)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Very interesting opinion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Happy birthday.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
I generally will publish these short snippets if I believe the comment is sincere. If it is written by a friend, or someone I know, I will publish it right away. But, if it is written by a stranger, I will probably mark it as spam because it has little personal meaning to me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most interesting comments I receive are those who oppose or criticize my post's viewpoints or stance. In those, reference links may be provided. I usually publish these comments without hesitation because the author has taken the time to think about what was said and to write an opposing viewpoint. These are usually the most interesting comments to receive because they tend to lead to a real back and forth discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, I like to receive comments that reinforce my ideas as well. If I receive a response that agrees with me and adds new information, I'm all ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the years, I've learned that comment moderation is important. All too often, I've found that automatically publishing all comments only leads to propagating spam. Therefore, I always moderate every single comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, I refuse to publish any comment by an Anonymous author. I used to do this, but changed my mind. I now believe that if you cannot identify yourself, then your comment is not worthy of publication because it lacks credibility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In summary, when you write a comment on a blog:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Let the author know what you think and why&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do not leave links unless it supports your viewpoint&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Forget the spam&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify yourself.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
So those are my views about comments and I'd love to know if you agree. Please leave me a comment and let me know either way!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7995048280264754252-1791317511079382139?l=asktheblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://offload.goarmy.com/about/personnel/jcr:content/contentpar/header.saluting-soldiers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="158" id=":current_picnik_image" src="http://offload.goarmy.com/about/personnel/jcr:content/contentpar/header.saluting-soldiers.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Military pensions are on the chopping block &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;and &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;you may lose all or part of your military pension.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;T&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;he &lt;a href="http://dbb.defense.gov/"&gt;US Department of Defense Business Board&lt;/a&gt; (DBB), an advisory board whose mission is to provide independent advice and recommendations to the Department of Defense, has proposed the reorganization of current and future military pensions.&lt;/b&gt; In general, they have said: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Military retirement is more generous and expensive compared to the private sector (meaning we are giving soldiers too much money).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The current retirement plan is unfair because you have to be in the service for 20 years to be eligible.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is unaffordable and inflexible.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;So, they want to replace it with a new Defined Contribution Plan in which:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Soldiers will pay for their own retirement instead.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Is not payable until 60 to 65 year of age (rather than after retirement)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Will pay much smaller amounts ($3,600 compared to $24,000 per year for E7 age 40)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Is mandatory&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Will be similar to a 401K plan (invested in the stock market)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;But, the government will pay some.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Their argument is that all soldiers would be eligible for a Military pension after the vesting period rather than being limited to only those soldiers who have 20 years of service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;However, they fail to highlight that the current pensions are:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Currently 100% Free to All Soldiers.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;There is no risk of losing this benefit.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Important factors in military retention. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;A review of the credentials of the members of the DBB indicates that many are associated with the Mergers and Acquisition (M&amp;amp;A) industry, including the Chairman and Vice Chairman.&lt;/b&gt; The job of the M&amp;amp;A industry is to financially restructure and merge companies. In return, the M&amp;amp;A receives large sums of money. Many other members are associated with money management firms and investment banks. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;So, their proposal is based on their own self-interest goal of making money off the soldiers retirement income.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The DBB proposal advocates that both the government and soldiers contribute to the new Defined Contribution Plan. This means that someone needs to manage this amount of money. &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;So, all or part would be managed by one or more private investment financial companies who would take portions of the contributions as payment for their services. &lt;/b&gt;Under their proposal,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Career soldiers would receive much smaller pensions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Money is at risk of being lost in the stock market&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Soldiers would get poorer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;The financial industry would get richer.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
I believe that pensions for teachers, policemen, firefighters and soldiers are well deserved. &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;Soldiers in particular do not earn a large amount of money. Making them pay for their retirement would be a financial hardship to them. &lt;/b&gt;If this plan was passed by our current administration, it would probably result in an immediate decline in the recruiting and retention of our military forces. Remember: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Soldiers put their life at risk every day&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;so that we can be safe.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;They can be killed at any time. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Their retirement is the least we can do as Americans to say thanks!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yes.</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A lot of criticism has been focused on Rick Perry's stance on providing in-state tuition to children of illegal immigrants. This is one area where the Republican candidate and the Democratic party agree.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;And, I, although a staunch conservative, strongly&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;agree and support this position.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a young child, I was raised by multiple families. But, I was blessed that they all agreed that my education was most important. All I had to do was go to school and study hard. If I did that, my tuition was completely paid for. Yes, I was blessed to have my adoptive parents, God, and my real mother in heaven watching over me. Because of their actions, I have had a successful career. I stressed the value of an education to my child, and he is now out of college and has a terrific job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about all the other children in this country who suffer difficult lives? As Governor Perry states, the children of illegal immigrants were either born here or brought to this country. They didn't deal their hand, but live with the consequences of their parents decision daily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum blast Perry for the Texas law. Both cite the amount of money that the public is paying to subsidize the illegal children's education. They also say that Texas is denying a discounted education to other children of legalized status that live in other states. Neither take into account that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;children in other states can attend their own state universities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;the cost of the education is paid by the people of Texas, and not the people of the United States.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Currently, 13 states have passed laws allowing undocumented children to be eligible to pay the reduced tuition if they meet certain condidions. In Texas, those who:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;have graduated high school in Texas,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;lived in the state for 3 years, and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;are applying for citizenship,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
are eligible. To me, applying for citizenship is the critical requirement because it shows that the children are dedicated to our country, its beliefs, and opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I'm not advocating the tolerance of illegal immigration,&amp;nbsp; I do support Mr. Perry and others, regardless of party, in their actions to provide these children with the opportunity to have a productive and rewarding life as educated citizens of the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
States that have passed Illegal Immigrant Tuition Legislation (see "illegal Immigrants ..." below):&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;California&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Connecticut&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Illinois&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kansas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maryland&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;New Mexico&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New York&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Oklahoma (with discretion)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Texas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Utah&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Washington&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wisconsin&lt;/li&gt;

To those who are hoping to sell their website, the buyers viewpoint (others) is most important. The consensus of all experts agree that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your site is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is because: &lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a buyer estimates the worth of a website based on the income it will return.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, however, &lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a site owner also values its website based on the income it currently returns.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Example: Let us consider a 5 year old website which nets a clear profit of $2,000 per year and targets a unique audience.&lt;/b&gt; At current interest rate levels, we find that 5 year CD's are yielding 2.00% per year. This means that the site owner has the equivilent of $100,000 invested in the CD which returns $2,000 per year. Thus, &lt;b style="color: #38761d;"&gt;the owner correctly considers the value of his site to be worth $100,000&lt;/b&gt;. His risk, however, is interest rates. If the 5 year rate increases to 4.00%, then the value of the site will drop to $50,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Many authors cite a website's worth based on a fixed multiple of current income.&lt;/b&gt; The multiples range from 5 times earnings to 20 times earnings.&amp;nbsp; This seems rather arbitrary, but from this, we can value the above site to be worth $10,000 to $40,000. Remember however, most of these multiples were established several years ago when interest rates were higher, and may have been in line at that time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A person who purchases an emerging website is taking a risk, and therefore expects to earn a higher rate of return on his investment&lt;/b&gt;. Assuming an investor targets a 10% return, he is willing to spent $20,000 for a website that is returning $2,000 per year. The $20,000 value can be determined using a 10 times multiple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;However, there are many intangibles which can increase or decrease a sites value.&lt;/b&gt; For example, if the site is being developed on a part time basis, the full suite of its potential reach may not be acheived. A buyer may indeed see that by adding a bit more manpower resources, the site may grow exponentially.&amp;nbsp; Conversely, a blog whose content is based solely on the author's experience or memoirs, may be of little or no value to a potential buyer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;If the income of a website has continually increased since the launch of the site, future income growth may also be anticipated&lt;/b&gt;. If this is the case, the the value of a website should increase. However, if newly launched competition hits the web arena and threatens to reduce a website's reach, then the value of a website would naturally decrease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;So, returning to our original example and utilizing all of this information, we could reasonably expect the 5 year old website profiting $2,000 per year to be conservatively valued at $100,000 to the owner, but only $20,000 &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;(plus &lt;/span&gt;an intangible margin which could range anywhere from $0 to millions of dollars). &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Thus, I would set a minimum price of $50,000 for this particular website example but would push for its upside potential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: purple;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember: It's up to you to influence what a buyer is willing to pay in order for you to receive its full potential value.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Below is a summary of intangible items that can potentially increase your website's worth substantially:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Content Uniqueness&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cost to replicate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demand&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Potential earnings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Branding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Domain name desirability&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Income Diversification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Traffic sources&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Visitor demographics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Design&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Age of site&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Search Engine position&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tax implications &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
September 11, 2001 was a beautiful day. The skies were blue and summer was over. People were returning to work after a long holiday weekend. Kids were going back to school. Seminars were being attended. Contractors were soliciting business. People were riding the elevators. Coffee was being brewed. Calls were being made. Pictures being developed. Folks were laughing and dreams of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas were coming to mind. Oh, what a beautiful day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then suddenly, without warning, a plane flew into the World Trade Center. At 8:46 AM, Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower 1. Tower 2, the South Tower was attacked 16 minutes later at 9:02 AM. At 9:36 AM, Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon. Heroically, the passengers of Flight 93 resisted the hijackers and forced the plane to crash in a Pennsylvania field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The devastating damages resulted in the total collapse of both World Trade Center towers, killing thousands within seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ten Years Later&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of that fateful day. It will be commemorated by the families of victims at ceremonies held at the various crash sites. Now, the families and friends only have memories of those who were lost. Babies are now turning 10, children are teenagers and young adults. Mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives only have memories. Perhaps the lyrics of Pink Floyd captures their thoughts:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;
&lt;table border="1" style="width: 420px;"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr align="center"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Wish You Were Here&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;lyrics by Pink Floyd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Heaven from Hell, 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Blue skys from pain. 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Can you tell a green field 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;From a cold steel rail? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;A smile from a veil? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Do you think you can tell? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;

&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Your heros for ghosts? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Hot ashes for trees? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Hot air for a cool breeze? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Cold comfort for change? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;And did you exchange 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://nymag.com/images/news/02/03/911anniversary/wtc2_11_200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://nymag.com/images/news/02/03/911anniversary/wtc2_11_200.jpg" width="133" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A walk on part in the war 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;For a lead role in a cage? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;How I wish, how I wish you were here. 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;We're just two lost souls 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Swimming in a fish bowl, 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Year after year, 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Running over the same old ground. 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;What have we found? 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;The same old fears. 
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Wish you were here.
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lest we forget this horror and tragedy we are doomed to eternal suffering. May the videos below serve as a reminder of why we are free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AW8puRqE4Sc" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uHTzb5w37Bk" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
For me, I will never forget the smiling faces of many old friends. I will never see again. But I know that my pain is dwarfed by the agony of the suffering families who lost one or more of their loved ones that day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To those who are searching for solace, remember you are never alone. I and many others will never forget your beloved. &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;And every day I look at the sky, and I think to myself: &lt;i&gt;I wish you were here&lt;/i&gt;!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;How do I get ideas for my blog?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After blogging for 5 years and facing these questions myself, I have found that ideas come from a variety of public sources: television, family topics, radio, advertisements, politics, other blogger articles, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes my topics are planned, and other times they are spontaneous. For example, one morning I listened to a radio tidbit about a Supermoon. So, I decided to research it and wrote an article about Supermoons. This is currently in my top 10 most read posts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, ideas come from technical tools that many bloggers already use, such as Feedjit and Google Webmaster Tools because both of these sources list search terms that potential readers have used to find your site.&amp;nbsp; For example, last July I wrote an article about my 4th of July plans which mentions that we have a chicken barbecue. Then earlier this week, a visitor found this post by searching for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;How to cook chicken on an outdoor pit?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since my article does not discuss this in detail, the question provides an excellent topic for a future discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike many other blogs that are focused on a particular topic, &lt;span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ask the Blogster&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is broad enough in scope which allows a variety of topics to be questioned and answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the many questions and topics that I have for future posts are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How much money can I spend?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can I buy everything advertised on television and radio?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Are work at home offers scams?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How sharing my working experiences with my son helped his education and got him a job.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; What will happen if I lose my job?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What will I do when my unemployment runs out?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My favorite zucchini casserole.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My political opinions about spending and taxes. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
My list can&amp;nbsp; go on and on, but at the beginning of the day,&amp;nbsp; I must choose a topic and write about it. Since I only write a post once a week, many of these topics will never be addressed. However, having prepared a list of topics makes the process of writing a post much easier and less stressful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, whether you have a "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;money making&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;",&amp;nbsp; "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;sports&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;", "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;cooking&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;", "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;political&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;", "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;mommy related&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;", "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;technical&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;", "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;biographical&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;", or "&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;a general purpose&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;" &lt;b&gt;blog&lt;/b&gt;, I encourage all of you to continually ask yourself: "&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;Is this a good topic for my blog?&lt;/b&gt;" whenever you hear, see, or read something (no matter what you are doing).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you think it possibly is, then write it down for future reference. In time, your list will reward you with a variety of excellent topics.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7995048280264754252-8811736020101345750?l=asktheblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A look at why Obama travels instead.</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: blue; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Most military personnel, college students, politicians, traveling salesmen, and people who work away, go back home on their leaves, recesses, and scheduled time off because:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: magenta; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Home,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: magenta; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;home is where the heart is.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: magenta; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Oh, my home sweet home.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even Harry Reid, who we like to criticize, lamented on August 1 about his upcoming recess:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;
&lt;table border="1" style="width: 450px;"&gt;
&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr style="background-color: #cccccc;"&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;“I have a home in Nevada that I haven’t seen in months, ..... My pomegranate trees are, I’m told, blossoming and have some pomegranates on them. I have some fig trees and roses and things that I just haven’t seen.”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;“It’s been a pretty hard work period we’ve had, the last two weekends and working late, and I think the Senate deserves to be able to go home as soon as we can,” said Reid, ...
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0811/Reid_laments_pomegranates_figs_blooming_withouth_him_.html"&gt;Reid laments pomegranates, figs blooming without him&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;So why does the President and Mrs. Obama use these opportunities to travel to lavish locations and vacation in exotic environments instead of going back home?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;My theory is that they have no home to go to&lt;/b&gt;. His parents divorced when he was very young and his father went back to Kenya. His mother remarried and the family moved to Indonesia. Later, Barak was sent to stay with his maternal grandparents in Hawaii. His mother died in 1995 and his biological father died in 1982. He has a half sister but not much is written about her (see &lt;a href="http://obama-zone.com/parents-barack-obama/"&gt;Parents Of Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;). Both of his grandparents have also passed away. Thus, he has no real roots or place to call home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Michelle's side, the family grew up in Chicago. Her father died in 1991 and her mother lives with the Obama's in the White House. Her brother is a basketball coach in Oregon, and the Obama's remain close to him and his family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Together, Barak and Michelle purchased a Chicago house in 2005 when he was a senator. One would normally consider this to be called home, but the First Family rarely returns to their residence. Apparently, they do not feel a family connection to this location either since none of her immediate family lives in the Chicago area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;So because of their lack of geographic roots, the Obama's have nowhere else to go when they are on recess. &lt;/b&gt;The President feels a connection with Hawaii, and therefore they return there every year around Christmas. Like Bill Clinton, they have discovered Martha's Vineyard which they have also visited twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the image of Harry Potter having to remain at Hogwarts during Christmas break is rather sad. Everyone else was going home for the holiday. But, Harry had no real home to return to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, like Harry, President Obama has no real home either. Either he stays at the White House, or he gets away to a wonderful resort. At least when everyone else returns to Washington, the President can say he enjoyed the break as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: magenta; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;It's sad when&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;You can't go home again. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For comparison purposes, the following summarizes where other Presidents went when they were on break:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Eisenhower: golfing in Georgia and Colorado&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kennedy: the family's Hyannis Port waterfront property on Cape Cod MA&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Johnson: LBJ ranch in Texas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nixon: homes in Key Biscayne FL and San Clemente CA&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ford: skiing in Colorado and relaxing in Montego Bay, Jamaica&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carter: his home in Georgia&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reagan: his Santa Barbara, California ranch&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;G. H. W. Bush: Kennebunkport, Maine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clinton: Martha's Vineyard, MA&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;G. W. Bush: Crawford TX ranch.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pop goes the country.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: purple;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Last week, we discussed the availability of the Federal Taxpayer Receipt which breaks down how our tax dollars are spent. This is a two edged sword because while it helps explain where the money goes, it reveals the entitlement spending that so many are worried about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To get an understanding of the scope of our debt problem, we need to put hard numbers into the calculator. Using a variety of sources below, we learn a variety of facts. (While many sources use numbers from 2008 to 2011, the exact calculations are not determined. But, we believe that on the average, these numbers provide a good ballpark overview).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Annual federal spending = $2.4 trillion &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;(source 7)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Approximate income tax received = 1.032 trillion &lt;/b&gt;(source 1)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;47% of population pay no taxes (source 3)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;Annual deficit shortfall = $1.4 trillion (derived) &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average tax rate from all people = 12.24% (source 1)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Average tax rate top 5% from all people = 20.7% (source 1)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Number of&amp;nbsp; income tax forms received = 140 million  (source 1)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Average tax paid by individual form received = $7,371&lt;/b&gt; (derived)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Entering the average taxpayer payment of $7,371 into the taxpayer receipt calculator, we identify some startling facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Under Job and Family Security&lt;/b&gt;, we pay about &lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;$100 billion for supporting a portion of the poor &lt;/b&gt;(4.4% goes to unemployment insurance, 3.6% for food and nutrition assistance, 2.2% for housing assistance). This totals to $751 of our individual taxes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Approximately 6.5 million people receive unemployment insurance per month (source 6). This means that the country pays about &lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;$45.4 billion per year to fund the unemployed&lt;/b&gt; (140M * $324 each taxpayer). &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The average monthly food stamp payout is $133 (source 4). Since approximately 35 million people receive food stamps, we pay $4.65 billion per month or &lt;b style="color: red;"&gt;$50 billion per year for food stamps&lt;/b&gt; to support these people. As $265 is taken from each taxpayer for this, each taxpayer pays for 2 months of someone else's food stamps.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;By comparison, we only pay $20 - $40 billion per year (source 5) for the nearly 1 million retired military and survivors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
As we can see, a large portion of our tax dollars go directly towards entitlement spending of providing the unemployed and poor with spending money. At the same time, the country receives less than 50% of the money it spends from taxes. This means that we go deeper into the hole every year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b style="color: purple;"&gt;So, maybe President Obama is right: It's time for shared sacrifice.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to have enough money to cover our spending, we would need to &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;double everyone's taxes&lt;/b&gt;. However, if we do that, those who are working will not have any money left. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps we can &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;eliminate all the entitlement spending&lt;/b&gt;. If we do this, we only save $100 billion which is far from sufficient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if we &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;required everyone to pay taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;? This would mean that the 47% who are getting a free ride will have to pay. If we do this, and require all corporations to pay taxes, then just maybe we can begin to get close to having a balanced budget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notice that I haven't advocated the &lt;b style="color: blue;"&gt;government cut spending&lt;/b&gt;. While this is logical, the current administration would not consider this, even though it is a shared sacrifice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unless we get the economy going by creating more U.S. jobs, more and more people will become unemployed. The annual tax revenue will decline and our entitlement spending will increase. This means the federal deficit will increase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;if inflation kicks in and interest rates rise&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; then:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: purple; font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pop goes the weasel!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
