      <title>It's Alive!!!  Anchor Digital's New Site is living and breathing on the Web!</title>
      <description>After Months of planning, It is official, Anchor Digital Services has launched the first beta of our new site.  She is Section 508 compliant, along with W3C compliant.
This site was developed using semantically correct, strict,  XHTML 1.0 and valid CSS2.   I am not sure what all that means, but I'm sure it means that it is pretty cool and the search engine spiders will love it, I hope you will too!

      <title>Broadcast Media brings in Miracle Lead!</title>
      <description>&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;No I’m not talking about a lead one of my direct response
advertising clients received from a broadcast advertising campaign.  &lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I am talking about the Missouri Miracle!&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Hats off to the Amber Alert System and a couple 15 year old
boys!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The recovery of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ben Ownby&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shawn Hornbec&lt;/span&gt;k,
thanks in a large part to the mass &lt;i style=""&gt;Broadcast
Media&lt;/i&gt; Coverage of the Amber Alert. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It
was on every Radio Station; Traffic, News and Weather. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It was on every TV news broadcast, Am, Mid
Day, 5p, 6p, 9p and 10p. &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;It was on
Cable; Fox News, CNN, MSNBC etc.

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The end result, a huge cue for the FBI, The best day in two family’s
lives and a warm/fuzzy for the entire country giving hope for a change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I do have one minor complaint.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Last night, I tried to find the story on Fox
News, CNN and MSNBC of the Missouri Miracle, However, at the point when I tuned
in (about 9pm) all they were doing was covering negative national stories
about; the war, gay marriage and Donald Trump vs. Large Gay women everywhere! &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;All while &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;KTVI Fox 2 in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:place style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;" w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:City w:st="on"&gt;St. Louis&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; was continuing there newscast long
into the following scheduled programming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Fact is, this is “Good News” even “Great News” and the
major media in this country have a problem finding anything “Good or Great”
newsworthy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Enough of my soapbox, I want to congratulate the heroes
here:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The 15 year old boy that accurately described the truck.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The folks behind the Amber Alert System (true success.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The other 15 year old boy that found the truck and
approached Police in person&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Police (yeah I used to be one) for there Due Diligence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The FBI for they’re involvement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And the Media for bringing them home!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Merry Christmass!</title>
      <description>Not Happy Holidays... Not Merry Qwanza.... Not Christmas with and X where Christ should be.... Just Merry Christmass.... yeah, I'm a Christian/Conservative, proud of it and I wear it on my sleeve.  It does not mean I don't have Jewish friends, Muslim friends, even atheist friends, I do, I just think that I and companies like me should be able to market the holiday, faith and discount of there choosing.</description>
