Facebook changed everyone's e-mail address without asking. Here's why.

Facebook irks users yet again with an e-mail switcheroo. Why did the social network change everyone's address to @facebook?

By Associated Press / June 26, 2012

This file photo shows Facebook's headquarters behind flowers in Menlo Park, Calif. The social network replaced the e-mail address you picked to display on your profile page when you signed up for the website and changed it to an @facebook.com address.

Facebook has changed your e-mail address. At least that's how many felt after a quiet but vast change in the way the company displays users' contact information.

' + google_ads[0].line3 + '

'; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_adtest = "off"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

In yet another change to its website that irked users, Facebook replaced the e-mail address you picked to display on your profile page when you signed up for the online social network and changed it to an @facebook.com address.

Previously, users may have had a yahoo.com or gmail.com address displayed, so that if other users wanted to contact them outside of Facebook, they could. Sending an e-mail to a Facebook.com address will land the e-mail in the messages section of your Facebook profile. It means keeping Facebook's already-captive audience even more captive.

The e-mail change was first pointed out by bloggers over the weekend and publicized by media outlets Monday, leading to gripes from users, usually on their Facebook pages.

But you can reset your profile if you're bothered by the change. Facebook didn't delete the previously displayed e-mail addresses. To revert back to your original address, click on the "about" section of your profile. Once there, look for "Contact Info" and click on the edit icon on its right hand corner. There, you can change who can see your e-mail address and which e-mail addresses they can see.

Sending an e-mail to a Facebook.com e-mail address allows users to communicate with outside e-mail addresses via Facebook, but it's unclear how popular they have been. Popular as it has been with more than 900 million monthly users, Facebook messages and posts have not replaced e-mail, texting and other forms of communication.

Facebook didn't say why it made the e-mail switch, though it said in April it was "updating addresses on Facebook to make them more consistent across our site."

"Ever since the launch of Timeline, people have had the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their own timelines, and today we're extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address," Facebook spokeswoman Jillian Stefanki said in an e-mail late Monday.

Facebook is well known for making changes to its website that have irritated users, sometimes temporarily. Some users are still holding out switching their old profile pages to the Timeline, which lists users' life events, updates and photos in chronological order, dating back to their birth if they shared that information on Facebook. In 2006, there was a big uproar over a now-central feature of Facebook, the news feed that tells people what their friends are doing.

Finding affordable SEO services for your small business is paramount to achieving success in this modern world. Just about everything and everyone is on the internet so keeping up with that game is the only way to get a shot at making the big time. If you are truly committed to promoting and expanding your business endeavor, find a company that will work with you closely to develop exactly the kind of online marketing presence you want and need.

It is no new thing for businesspeople to go to marketing experts to help them with promotion. In fact, it?s been a practice for at least the past two hundred years. Of course, in the past one hundred years it has exploded as a field. An SEO company is a specialized kind of marketing professional that can create the best ad strategy for your business on this brand new medium, the internet.

Many small business owners feel that if they can do the work themselves, they should. Unfortunately, most of these people don?t have the skills or knowledge to successfully carry out an effective online marketing campaign or strategy. Just because everyone and their brother is now able to through together a website doesn?t mean that option is best from a business standpoint.

Often, that financial investment in a marketing expert is what it takes to push a business into the spotlight. If you delegate the marketing jobs of your business career to another professional, you can focus your own efforts on the actual business. Many small business owners take on too much responsibility or work themselves and it makes them unable to guide the business from a big picture standpoint.

The ways an SEO company can guide your online presence and promotion are many. Lots of small business owners find that social networking sites are key to getting the word out. SEO companies can help you establish a solid and engaging online presence on all those social websites like Facebook, Linked In, Four Square and more.

SEO in particular is a skill that helps internet users searching the web with a search engine find your business website rather than someone else?s. This promotion strategy is all about finding the most relevant keywords for your business that are also popular search terms.

Online browsers go to search engines to get their questions answered and to find the resources they seek. If your website and online presence pops up as the leading result when customers search your field, you can imagine the amount of traffic you?ll be pulling in!

Any small business owner knows the difficulty of balancing all the tasks that need to be done. Save yourself the hassle of trying your hand at web design and hire an affordable SEO services company.

Panguite: Ancient mineral newly discovered

Study of a 1969 fireball meteorite has unearthed a new mineral, named panguite. This mineral was likely around when the solar system formed, billions of years ago.?

By Jeanna Bryner,?LiveScience / June 26, 2012

The new mineral, panguite, occurring with the scadium-rich silicate called davisite was found embedded in a piece of the Allende meteorite. Scientist believe the newly discovered mineral formed when the solar system was in its infancy.

A fireball that tears across the sky is not just a one-time skywatching event ? it can reap scientific dividends long afterward. In fact, one that lit up Mexico's skies in 1969 scattered thousands of meteorite bits across the northern Mexico state of Chihuahua. And now, decades later, that meteorite, named Allende, has divulged a new mineral called panguite.

Panguite is believed to be among?the oldest minerals in the solar system, which is about 4.5 billion years old. Panguite belongs to a class of refractory minerals that could have formed only under the extreme temperatures and conditions present in the infant solar system.

The name of the titanium dioxide mineral, which has been approved by the International Mineralogical Association, honors Pan Gu, said in Chinese mythology to be the first living being who created the world by separating yin from yang (forming the earth and sky). [Infographic: The Science of Meteorites]

"Panguite is an especially exciting discovery since it is not only a new mineral, but also a material previously unknown to science," study researcher Chi Ma, a senior scientist at Caltech, said in a statement.

Until now, panguite had neither been seen in nature nor created in a lab. "It's brand-new to science," Ma told LiveScience in an interview.

The scientists used a scanning-electron microscope to view the panguite within a so-called ultra-refractory inclusion embedded within the meteorite. Inclusions are the minerals that get trapped inside meteorites as they are forming. The ultra-refractory type includes minerals that can resist high temperatures and other conditions in extreme environments, such as those thought to exist as our solar system was forming.

High-tech lab analyses revealed panguite's chemical composition and crystal structure, which Ma said is new, and as such, could be explored for novel engineering materials.

The Allende meteorite, where the mineral was hidden, is the largest of a class of carbonaceous chondrites found on Earth. Chondrites are?primitive meteorites?that scientists think were remnants shed from the original building blocks of planets. Most meteorites found on Earth fit into this group. (When meteors hit the ground they are called meteorites.)

Before they reach terra firma, most meteorites are fragments of asteroids (space rocks that travel through the solar system), while others are mere cosmic dust shed by comets.?Rare meteorites?are impact debris from the surfaces of the moon and Mars. The Allende meteorite likely came from?the asteroid belt?between Mars and Jupiter, scientists say.

Studying panguite and other components of the Allende meteorite are essential for understanding the origins of the solar system, Ma said. In fact, Ma's team has discovered nine new minerals, including panguite, in the Allende space rock.

The new mineral is detailed in the July issue of the journal American Mineralogist.

Mayor raising funds for re-election plans - Sun, 24 Jun 2012 PST

June 24, 2012 in City

Condon has already raised?$25,000

'); $("#content-tool-box-"+tool_name).jqm({trigger:this,overlay:20}); } }); });

?

Condon?s early top?donors

The following have contributed $1,800 to Condon?s 2015 re-election?bid:

Clearwater Paper, a paper company headquartered in?Spokane

James Cowles, chairman of Inland Empire Paper Co., a subsidiary of the Cowles Co., which owns The?Spokesman-Review

Wanda Cowles, James Cowles??wife

DAA Northwest, a vehicle auction and reconditioning?business

Spokane Mayor David Condon is already building a campaign chest for a race in which he faces no opponent ? at least not?yet.

Condon said at a news conference earlier this month that he intends to run for re-election in?2015.

?I?ve got 36 months left, folks,? Condon said June 1. ?From today, I?ve got three years to prove to the citizens that I?ve done what they?ve wanted me to?do.?

Condon already employs a part-time campaign manager. He mailed a request for money to supporters in April that warned of ?special interest groups? blocking change at City Hall, and he is holding a barbecue fundraiser this?week.

His early re-election efforts are a departure from past mayors, who generally didn?t start significant fundraising efforts or maintain paid campaign staff until much closer to Election?Day.

The strategy of previous incumbents hasn?t proven fruitful. No Spokane mayor has won a second term since David Rodgers nearly 40 years?ago.

Condon already has raised about $25,000 and spent nearly $10,000 on his 2015?campaign.

?The mayor wants to maintain contact with supporters,? said Condon?s campaign manager Tyler Whitney. ?He also wanted to maintain contact through his campaign?tools.?

On Wednesday, Condon?s campaign will earn $40 per person or $320 per table at a barbecue at the home of Myrtle Woldson, a businesswoman and philanthropist who lives near the mayor and contributed to his campaign last?year.

Some of Condon?s fundraising techniques are similar to those of his former boss, U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Spokane. His campaign kickoff brunch last year was a breakfast at the downtown Doubletree Hotel. Businesses or other contributors could sponsor tables, and attendees were hit up for more money after a video and a speech. McMorris Rodgers used the same format at her re-election campaign kickoff in the same hotel ballroom this?year.

Condon served as McMorris Rodgers? district director until he became a candidate for?mayor.

In April, Condon mailed a letter coinciding with his first 100 days in office, outlining his?accomplishments.

?Not everyone acknowledges our progress,? said the letter. ?After a commanding win in November, naysayers are already attacking our accomplishments. The special interest groups do not want to see change at City Hall. It is imperative that I have the resources to counter these?attacks.?

Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart said he is unsure what ?special interest groups? Condon is referring?to.

?I definitely have not seen an organized effort to discredit the mayor?s accomplishment thus far,? Stuckart?said.

Whitney said Condon wasn?t referring to city unions or any specific person or?group.

The line ?served as a reminder that even while making great progress, there will always be mudslingers like Ms. Riordan who would rather try to score cheap political points than pick up a shovel and help Spokane move forward,? Whitney wrote in an?email.

The ?Ms. Riordan? he?s referring to is Tanya Riordan, who worked last year for the liberal activist group Fuse Washington and filed a complaint against Condon?s campaign with the state Public Disclosure Commission before Condon?s?election.

Commission staff members examined the complaint this month and determined that it deserved further investigation. PDC spokeswoman Lori Anderson said it will be assigned to a staff member, a report will be written and the commission will make the final call about possible violations. The maximum penalty the commission can issue is a $4,200?fine.

?Riordan?s complaint stems from donations the state Republican Party made to Condon?s campaign. Within three days last October, the party received five contributions totaling $25,000 from Spokane County businesses and residents. The donations were directed to a fund set up to aid candidates in municipal and county races; the fund received no other contributions from Spokane County sources in?October.

Two weeks after the money came in, on Oct. 27, the state GOP gave David Condon?$25,000.

Two of the five contributors were companies owned by Condon?s brother, Ted Condon. Four of the five, including one of the companies owned by his brother, had already given the maximum amount allowed to Condon?s?campaign.

State law bars parties from promising donors that their contributions will go to certain campaigns, a practice known as??earmarking.?

Condon and state party leaders say no promises were made and that earmarking did not?occur.

?This is a zombie complaint,? Whitney said. ?It should have died with the?campaign.?

Sharon Smith, the chairwoman of the Inland Northwest Leadership Political Action Committee, said Riordan filed the complaint because the contributions ?looked to us like outside the bounds of a miracle?incident.?

Smith?s PAC supported ex-mayor Mary Verner in the 2011?election.

?That?s all we wanted, was for them to take a look at it,? Smith?said.

After Riordan?s complaint was filed, the party contributed another $38,000 to Condon?s?campaign.

Condon raised $318,000 for his 2011 campaign, the most ever raised by a candidate for Spokane mayor, at least since the city?s form of government switched to a strong mayor system in the 2000 election. Condon?s opponent, Verner, only raised about $126,000. The most previously raised by a candidate for Spokane mayor in the strong mayor era was John Powers in 2000. He raised about?$290,000.

Stuckart, who is the only nonjudicial Spokane city official who is elected citywide beside Condon, said he wouldn?t rule out running for mayor in 2015 when asked last?week.

?In my world I haven?t yet had the time to say, ?What am I going to be doing in 2015 and let?s start planning for it,? Stuckart said. ?We?ll approach that subject in?2014.?
