Iran would take action if U.S. attacked Syria: official

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran would take action if the United States were to carry out an act of "stupidity" and attack Syria, an Iranian military official was quoted as saying on Saturday, but the comments later disappeared from the state-linked agency website.

Iran has steadfastly supported Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his bid to suppress an uprising which both Tehran and Damascus see as a proxy war by Israel and Western states to extend their influence in the Middle East.

"If America were to attack Syria, Iran along with Syria's allies will take action, which would amount to a fiasco for America," Mohammad Ali Assoudi, the deputy for culture and propaganda of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was quoted as saying.

Assoudi's comments were first carried by the government-linked news agency Young Journalists' Club but were later apparently taken down from the group's website. The comments were picked up by Iranian news sites including Iran's Jam-e Jam newspaper and the BBC's Persian-language site.

Iranian officials were not immediately available for comment.

Assoudi did not specify exactly what steps Iran would take, but said Syria's allies would implement their joint military pact in the case of a U.S. attack.

"In the case of American stupidity and a military attack by this country on Syria, the joint military pact of Syria's allies would be implemented," Assoudi said.

Iran and Syria signed a mutual defense pact in 2006, but little is known of its details, or whether there are any other signatories.

The Islamic Republic considers Assad's government, along with Lebanese Shi'ite militant group Hezbollah, part of an "axis of resistance" against the influence of the United States and Israel in the Middle East.

But while Turkey, Gulf Arab countries and Western states admit to giving non-weapons aid to the Syrian rebels, there is little or no appetite in Washington, especially in an election year, for direct military intervention in Syria. Without U.S. leadership, its allies also appear unwilling to go it alone.

Iran accuses Western powers and regional states of supporting and arming the rebels, while the rebels accuse Iran of sending IRGC fighters to help Assad crush the uprising.

"With cooperation from Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, America has the goal of striking a blow against Syria and making preparations for the fall of the Syrian government," Assoudi said.

Local group asks for answers about MEA Federal Credit Union robbery case

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -

Local NAACP leaders gathered on Gardenia Street in Columbus on Thursday asking for answers regarding a fatal shooting that happened nearly one year ago.

"The DA has her time and her cycle that she works on. That's not the purpose of this case. What we are talking about is we're talking about having our elected officials be accountable to the community. They owe us an update on what is going on," said Nate Sanderson, the President of the Columbus Chapter of the NAACP.

Almost a year ago, crime tape filled the same area after a Columbus Police Officer saw a masked man run out of the back door of the MEA Federal Credit Union.

Officials told us he chased after the alleged bank robber, Alrahiem Tolbert, and later found him in front of a home in a dark colored truck with another man, Tony Carr.

Both men were killed after an officer involved shooting. But, in previous interviews, friends and family said Carr would not have had any involvement in the robbery.

"My thoughts about what happened is that something is not right. He was not involved in this robbery. It was not in his character. I believe he was hijacked and held hostage in his own vehicle," said Schanta Newman, a friend of Carr.

GBI agents say after their investigation the case was turned over to District Attorney Julia Slater.

Slater says she will update the public in the near future, but cannot release anything before then.

"Although I've had many conversations with Tony Carr's family in this case, I will need to have a chance to discuss the specific decision and next step with them before I can release it to anyone else," said Slater.

Even though many are asking for answers, Slater says they are still working on the case.

"When the DA's office receives any case, especially one when there has been a loss of life, we take that very seriously. We're not going to rush to judgment. We are going to take our time, communicate with those that are involved in the case and make a good decision on it," said Slater.

Columbus police tell us the officer involved in the shooting is still on administrative leave.

They tell us he has not faced any disciplinary actions at this time.

The Benefits of Understanding PPC Match Types - Small Business ...

PPC Match Types ImageNot understanding match types in Pay-Per-Click advertising (PPC) can mean the difference between throwing away thousands of dollars away in your PPC Campaigns that don?t yield the desired return on investment (ROI), or acquiring a steady stream of new Customers and making money from paid traffic.

Let?s focus on Google Adwords (similar to other PPC ad platforms) for now- the default setting of keywords you enter is ?broad?, so if you set up your Adgroups with only broad match keywords, then you will burn through your hard earned money by showing up for non-commercial intent variations, and then be part of the masses that say that ?PPC just doesn?t work these days?.

What Does a Match Type Keyword Do?

The match type of a keyword tells Google Adwords how much control you want to have over how & when your ads are being triggered for display by searchers typing in their queries into Google?s search engine.

If your ad gets triggered for display on a searcher?s computer (called ?Impressions?), then your ad may get clicked on (which gives you a Click-Through-Rate, ?CTR? for short).

Ideally, you should be constantly balancing the reaching of the widest audience possible for your specific offering without sacrificing relevance to your offering and keeping all of that within your PPC marketing budget- no small goal indeed.

Different Match Types:

Let?s use an example of a ?credit card processing? company that sells systems for bank and credit card acceptance to businesses, so that those businesses can offer debit and credit card acceptance for the products/services that they sell to their customer base.

Let?s focus on one service this type of company provides and use the keyword ?credit card terminal? (you know the machines at the counter where you swipe/insert your bank/credit card to pay).

Broad Match

  • Broad Match looks like this: credit card terminal
  • this tells Adwords to display your ad whenever a searcher types up ANY phrase that has the words ?credit?, ?card? and ?terminal? in it regardless of the order, misspellings and synonyms can come into play for infinite unintended possiblities
  • here?s a money making example: ?Where can I buy a card terminal that accepts credit cards??
  • here?s a money burning example ?terminal illness resulting from credit card bankruptcy?
  • benefit (s): reach the most number of people with variations of queries you never even thought possible
  • disadvantage (s): variations of queries you never even thought possible costing you each time someone doesn?t look or read and just starts clicking thinking that your ad might solve their problem

Modified Broad Match

  • Modified Broad match looks like this: +credit +card +terminal
  • this tells Adwords to display your ad when a searcher types in any phrase that definitely has the words you want to be in the query that you have marked by the ?+? symbol in front of the word
  • here?s a money making example: ?how much can i buy a wireless credit debit card terminal for??
  • here?s a money burning example ?credit and bank card atm terminal for kids?
  • benefit (s): reach more people than ?phrase? and ?exact? through more possible keyword variations, and have more control over relevancy to your chosen keywords
  • disadvantage (s): still can be too varied, especially if you have a small budget and can?t afford to experiment to see which variations you didn?t think of can bring targeted traffic

Phrase Match

  • Phrase Match looks like this: ?credit card terminal?
  • this tells Adwords to display your ad when a searcher types in your chosen keywords in that exact order, however, words can be in front or after that phrase
  • here?s a money making example: ?need asap virtual credit card terminal for shipping office?
  • here?s a money burning example: ?i hate credit card terminal scam companies?
  • benefit (s): reach less people than ?broad? and ?modified broad?, yet more than ?exact?
  • disadvantage (s): although less restrictive than ?exact?, the more control you choose, the less traffic through ?impressions? and ?clicks?

Exact Match

  • Exact match looks like this: [credit card terminal]
  • this tells Adwords to display your ad ONLY when these exact words, in the exact order with NO other words added to either end are typed in by searcher
  • here?s the ONLY example: ?credit card terminal?
  • benefit (s): usually the best commercial intent
  • disadvantage (s): lowest amount of traffic/ impressions because you are limited by chosen exact keywords, order and with no exceptions

Understanding The Basics is Just the Beginning?

Now that you have enough of an overview to begin- is it enough knowledge to get the results you want without weekly investing elbow grease and time (that you don?t have because you are trying to run your business)?

If you want to participate successfully in online PPC marketing, then you need to set aside a budget for PPC Management, regardless of whether you want to invest in a small or large way in the actual cost of the clicks.

It is worth every penny to have professionals manage your PPC advertising because even though PPC allows unprecedented tracking and measurement of everything you do, and therefore gives you the necessary data to analysis, how would you know what to do with that mountain of data?

Results oriented agencies like SBOC, invest 1000?s of man hours in education and 1000?s of dollars in software tools to do the job right and you get to leverage all of those resources. Create successful ROI yielding campaigns at a fraction of the cost of hiring an employee to do it in-house (even if you had the know-how and software tools) or an inexperienced agency to do it half-right or completely wrong.

Tymoshenko loses appeal, stays in Ukraine jail

A Ukrainian high court rejected an appeal on Wednesday by former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko against her conviction for abuse of office, leaving her in jail and Ukraine's relations with the West severely strained.

Tymoshenko's defense lawyer said the ruling by a three-judge panel had been steered by President Viktor Yanukovich for political reasons.

"These findings have no relation to justice," Serhiy Vlasenko told journalists after judge Olexander Yelfimov ruled that lower courts had delivered "correct decisions on the crimes of Tymoshenko."

"This is a decision of Yanukovich to keep Tymoshenko in prison," Vlasenko said.

Western leaders condemned the seven-year prison term meted out to the 51-year-old opposition leader in October as political persecution, and blocked strategic agreements on political association and a free-trade zone with the European Union.

But despite months of chiding by the European Union and the United States, Yanukovich has refused to act to secure her release. No one had expected her to be released on Wednesday.

Yanukovich did not immediately react to Vlasenko's comments, though in tough remarks last Friday he said he would not negotiate integration with the European Union at the price of allowing it to interfere in her case.

Story: Ukraine prosecutor urges court to uphold Tymoshenko guilt

In Brussels, the European Union urged Ukraine to reform its judicial system "to redress the effects of selective justice" like that seen in Tymoshenko's case.

"We stress the importance for the Ukrainian authorities to take concrete steps to address the systemic problems of the judiciary," Michael Mann, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said.

Tymoshenko, recognizable for her peasant-style hair braid and known for fiery rhetoric, was not in court because of persistent back trouble which has kept her confined to a state-run hospital in eastern Ukraine.

About 300 of her supporters gathered outside the courtroom, chanting slogans such as "Yulia - Freedom!" and "Keep convicts inside and get Yulia out!" They lowered a mock coffin into the ground outside the courtroom to symbolize the death of justice.

The continued incarceration of Tymoshenko - by far the most vibrant opposition figure on Ukraine's political landscape - is certain to figure as a major issue in an October 28 legislative election.

Yanukovich's Party of the Regions goes into that election with the government highly unpopular over reforms that have increased taxes on small businesses and raised retirement ages, and it will have to work hard to retain its majority.

The abuse of office conviction relates to a gas deal that Tymoshenko brokered with Russia in 2009 when she was prime minister. The Yanukovich government says the agreement was reckless and saddled Ukraine with an enormous price for strategic supplies of gas which is taking a toll on the stressed economy.

'Shameful'
Tymoshenko has denied betraying the national interest, with her lawyers arguing that the gas negotiation with Russia was a political act which did not amount to a criminal action.

Ukrainian state prosecutors said Tymoshenko's guilt was clearly established at her trial last year.

In Wednesday's judgment, the three-member panel said: "The judges of the court have reached the conclusion that the appeal cannot be satisfied ... The judges believe that the previous courts reached correct decisions on the crimes of Tymoshenko."

Tymoshenko's daughter Yevgenia, who has sought international support for her mother's cause, told journalists: "Today we again received a shameful decision which proves that a dictatorship is establishing itself in Ukraine."

She said the ruling would be the basis for a fresh appeal to the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

The authorities have ignored Western criticism and piled up fresh charges against Tymoshenko for alleged past misdeeds.

In a separate trial, which has been adjourned several times because of Tymoshenko's ill health, she is accused of embezzlement and tax evasion going back to alleged offences when she was in business in the 1990s.

Lawyers for Tymoshenko pressed her case at the ECHR on Tuesday, arguing that her pre-trial detention had been unlawful and that she had been subjected to degrading treatment in prison.

The former prime minister was a leader of the 2004 Orange Revolution protests against sleaze and cronyism in Ukraine that derailed Yanukovich's first bid for the presidency.

She served two terms as prime minister under President Viktor Yushchenko, but the two fell out and their partnership dissolved into bickering and infighting.

She narrowly lost to Yanukovich in a run-off for the presidency in February 2010 after a bitter campaign.
