That sounds a bit harsh - but ultimately it’s true. Late last year, Smashing Magazine wrote an article about SEO and basically said that: As long as your website is programmed properly.

As people link to your site, your ranking will rise.
I am amazed when I see somebody applying for a development job with us and they have a shaw.ca, hotmail or yahoo address.

"These districts are bringing school nurses and counselors together to respond to warning signs like depression or bullying," Clinton said. "They are improving classroom security and expanding after-school and mentoring programs." Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for "COPS in School," a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers.

Indisputably, for much of American history, gun-control measures, like many other laws, were used to oppress African Americans. The South had long prohibited blacks, both slave and free, from owning guns.
