|Laura Bacon | LIBERIA
Laura Bacon worked in Liberia's Ministry of Gender and Development as the Special Assistant to Deputy Minister Annette Kiawu and Minister Vabah Gayflor. This position involved assisting with the implementation plan for the National Gender Policy, composing policy briefings for the Ministers, conducting research on current policies, preparing presentations for the Minister, and analyzing the gender effects of various policies presented to the Ministry by other sectors of the government.
Jamille Bigio | JORDAN
Jamille Bigio worked under of the overall guidance of the Head of the Inter-Agency Information and Analysis (IAU) Unit, which reports to the HC/RC/DSRSG. She provided socio-economic analysis related to the development and humanitarian situation in Iraq. Her responsibilities involved collecting and analyzing information from a range of sources, including COSIT / KRSO, UN Agencies, sector outcome teams (SOTs) and NGOs and integrating it into various outputs that are effectively disseminated. Jamille also provided support and guidance to the SOTs in producing measurable outcome indicators and developing strategies through the quarterly monitoring survey conducted by the IAU with NGO partners. She developed networks with research institutes and universities working on Iraq to harness their information and analysis.
Megan Carroll | JORDAN
Megan Carroll worked with the Foundation's Institute for Family Health (IFH) in Amman. IFH has been providing health care services for mothers and children since 1986. As the Institute grew, it began to place special emphasis on women through the Women's Health Counseling Center. In 2006, the Institute started providing services to displaced Iraqis, a greatly underserved population. As the demand for services for the displaced grows, IFH is struggling to find a balance between continuing care of women (their initial focus) and meeting the needs of a new population. Megan looked at how the Foundation is expanding to meet these new demands and to what extent the displaced population is being served (i.e. Where are the gaps? and make recommendations for improvement). She was especially interested in access to psychological and domestic violence counseling services as there is a much greater need than resources allow. Megan worked under the guidance of two women: Dr. Manal Tahtamouni (IFH Managing Director) and Hana Mitri Shahin (Executive Director, Noor Al Hussein Foundation).
Kyle Dietrich | BURUNDI
During the summer of 2008, Kyle Dietrich worked with Peace in Focus (www.peaceinfocus.org), a non-profit organization that he co-founded in 2007. Kyle conducted two photography and conflict transformation workshops with underserved and at-risk youth: one in Boston, Massachusetts in June/July and one in Bujumbura, Burundi in July/August. Each workshop lasted roughly two weeks and brought together 15-20 youth from diverse backgrounds in each community to learn the power of photography and healthy relationships in engaging their communities in a dialogue for peace. In particular, the workshops aimed to facilitate learning in self-expression, creative non-violence, cross-cultural sensitivity, and leadership with the goal of building a constituency of youth and youth organizers working to advocate for social change in their communities. Kyle also conducted thesis-related field research and a summative evaluation of the workshops through focus groups, one-on-ones, and surveys.
Francesco Ferretti continued his work from the summer of 2007 with Sr. Sudha Vargese's NGO Nari Gunjan (Bihar, India). Nari Gunjan aims at empowering women and girls of the caste community (Dalit – Musahar) with education, microfinance, sanitation, and HIV prevention programs. Francesco worked to help enable gender empowerment from a social, political and economic standpoint.
Sheila Lalwani | INDIA
Sheila Lalwani worked at the State Department and Human Rights Network. Her internship provided a unique opportunity to affect policy related to women. During her time at the State Department and Human Rights Network, she primarily focused on the following areas: human trafficking, girls' education and marriage rights.
Diane Mak worked in Liberia's Ministry of Finance with Elfrieda Stewart Tamba, the country's Deputy Minister for Revenue. Under the leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the Liberian government finished the draft of their Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS), and over the summer of 2008, Diane supported the Ministry's work in implementing some of the development-focused policies articulated in the PRS. These included areas such as revenue policy, administrative regulation development, impact modeling and private sector development. The 8-week internship gave Diane the chance to build on her core MPA/ID coursework in economics and provided her with the opportunity to work directly with the leadership of a post-conflict country committed to building peace and to improving the lives of its citizens.
Ami Novoryta worked with BRAC's Education Program on a new adolescent development and livelihood assistance project, as part of a team involved in designing a hybrid adolescent education, awareness building and micro-enterprise development program. BRAC is a Bangladeshi-led international development organization founded in 1972 whose mission is to promote human rights, dignity and gender equity by building poor people's social, economic, political and human capacity. Her specific duties included research and evaluation of current adolescent education program components, analysis of life-skills training and borrower profiles of adolescents, research into new skills such as financial education and support in program curriculum development.
Jen Scott | INDIA
Jen Scott's internship placement with Action Aid India was structured around the organization's policy level, media level and community level engagement with the issues faced by displaced tribal women in connection to natural resources access. Her internship focused on three aspects of Action Aid's strategic programming: supporting research activities and capacity building interventions with field teams in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Chatisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa; assisting Action Aid's Policy Unit (based in Bangalore) with data analysis and written input to a key report on opportunities for greater participation in the development planning process for populations affected by mineral extraction projects; and working with the Action Aid media team to produce a three-minute advocacy film on tribal communities, to be screened as a pre-film commercial in UK cinemas.
Preya Sharma | LIBERIA
Preya Sharma worked in the Ministry of Finance as the Private Secretary to Minister Sayeh for two months. Her internship was based in Monrovia, Liberia. Preya's primary role was to assist Minister Sayeh in preparation for two key events; Budget 2008 and a major donor conference. Working closely with the Minister she provided three distinct services: forecasting and briefing to pass Budget 2008 through fiscal policy and macroeconomic analysis; producing tailored products for the Minister in terms of memos, speeches and briefings in preparation of negotiations and meetings; and sharing practices to build capacity and develop processes to create an effective organization.
As an intern for the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, Margo Steiner spent her summer interviewing Burkinabe women who have participated in the NDI's program designed to strengthen women's participation in politics on the national and local level in Burkina Faso. Margo's work is based on an evaluation at the conclusion of the program's first year to ensure that activities are responding to Burkinabe needs, and would adjust the design of activities for the second and third years of the program accordingly.

A.A., Casper College
I have been with the college for ten years in a variety of positions, which has allowed me to meet most of the people on campus throughout that time.
One of my goals has always been to complete the education I began many years ago, and with the tuition assistance I received as an employee, I began taking one or two courses per semester. I finally completed my associate's degree in Communications in 2006. While my initial goal has been achieved, I am continuing to take classes in the hope of one day going into teaching.

Python for Android
Go on, tap your app name, then tap the run wheel. After a moment, you should see the spinner dialog appear while your script contacts the Beans'R'Us Web site and requests the current price of coffee (Figure 5). Shortly thereafter, the current price appears in another dialog (Figure 6). Congratulations! The script has been ported to your Android virtual device.
To run a Python script on your physical Android device, install SL4A together with Python for Android on your handset, then transfer your script.
To install SL4A on your physical Android device, enable the Unknown Sources option in your device's Application settings. This setting is required to enable the installation of non-Market apps on your phone. With this done, you can follow the same steps you used when installing SL4A and Python on your emulator. To speed things up a little, install Barcode Scanner from the Android Market and use it to "read" the QR Codes from your desktop screen.
There are a number of ways to get your script onto a real phone. I've found the success of using something like Bluetooth connectivity or USB cabling arrangements can very much depend on the hardware on which you're running. What works on one handset, doesn't on another, and so on. Your mileage may vary depending on your actual device. When I need to transfer a file, I've come to rely on a solution that works no matter which handset I use (as long as the handset can talk to a local Wi-Fi network). What I do is switch on the OpenSSH server on my development PC running Linux, then use the AndFTP file transfer app on the handset to scp files from the desktop to the phone. AndFTP is available from the Android Market as a free download and installs in minutes. Once I connect to my desktop with AndFTP, I can navigate to a directory of my choice, mark the files that I want, then download them to my SD card on the handset.
AndFTP works well, and I've come to depend on it for all my Android file transfers (see Resources). Just be sure to transfer your scripts to /sdcard/sl4a/scripts on the phone to ensure that your script names appear within the SL4A list of scripts.
With your script file transferred to your physical device, start SL4A as before, tap your app's name and tap the run wheel. As expected, your app runs just as it did on the emulator, only faster! I haven't included a screenshot of the app running on a real phone for two reasons. First, it looks exactly the same as it did in the emulator, and second, it's running on your device, so you can take a look at it there!
There's one further kink to SL4A that might interest you. The project includes draft instructions on creating a standalone, downloadable Android APK package (see Resources). Once created, the APK file bundles your custom Python script with information that allows other Android users to install Python for Android automatically onto their handsets and then run your app from the smartphone's main menu of apps. Describing the process of creating the APK likely would take another article, so I leave it to the brave among you to try out the instructions on the SL4A Wiki. To see and learn a little about one such successfully created APK, check out Split Hitter on the Web (see Resources).
Programming your app in Java is not the only option on Android. With SL4A, very capable scripting languages come to Android, taking the platform to a new level of hackability. If you can, get involved. More people means more eyeballs, and more eyeballs means more help and more code. Official support from Google will come if enough programmers get involved, which can only help raise the project's profile within Google's HQ. SL4A is already a good project, and I can only imagine the great project it will be with "official status" bestowed on it by Google. Let's hope this happens sooner rather than later.
You can learn lots more from the wiki documentation hosted at the SL4A Web site. Be sure to browse the Tutorials section of the wiki for links to what others are doing with SL4A. There's also an active (and very friendly) SL4A mailing list that Damon uses to announce new versions, track feature requests, report patches and spread the word about SL4A. If you build an app for Android using SL4A, join the list, and I'll see you there.
Looks like Paul's been time
Looks like Paul's been time travelling again. i like the article though. It covers exactly what i have spent the past hour searching for.
Well at least you got the
Well at least you got the info a week early! ;) This is a very comprehensive article about app programming. While I don't have the technical expertise to craft the SL4a technique without conquering a steep learning curve, it does open my eyes to a new way to do things. This is particularly helpful since I've been learning how mobile solutions are being tapped into by users. As one can imagine, a company that does mobile marketing(example: http://www.exacttarget.com) is going to have different needs then a company that specializes in manufacturing, or a user who wants to simplify his/her "mobile" life. Right now I fall into the latter category, but that doesn't mean I won't have a vastly different agenda in regards to app programming in the future.
Time will tell if Android development via Python is something I will tap into, but it's nice to have the programming app horizon broadened. Options are good!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Pella — A late afternoon lightning strike Wednesday (April 17) at the South Central Iowa Solid Waste Agency Landfill damaged the scale and scale computer system, knocked out the telephone lines and disabled the credit card machine.
The Landfill (1736 Highway T-17, Tracy) will be open Thursday, April 18, but with modified services as systems are replaced and restored. Charge customers should allow additional time for their deliveries and will work with the scale operator to estimate load weights. Where possible, weights will be determined based on an average of recent scale tickets.
Customers who can delay their trip to the Landfill are encouraged to do so until at least Friday. If deliveries must be made on Thursday, fees must be paid by cash or check. Credit/debit card capabilities could be down until Monday, April 22.

For a change, the injury news was all good for the struggling Washington Redskins today.
Punter Hunter Smith, running back Ladell Betts and right tackle Stephon Heyer all practiced and are expected to be ready for Sunday's game with the Denver Broncos.
Smith, who missed three of the past four games, tested his long-ailing right groin for the first time this week and felt good enough and kicked well enough that he'll likely return Sunday.
However, coach Jim Zorn won't make a final decision about Smith in Saturday, depending if the groin still feels good in the wake of Friday's workout.
In that case, fill-in punter Sam Paulescu will be cut and the Redskins will add a player, perhaps practice squad safety Lendy Holmes. If not, Smith could go on injured reserve because Pro Bowl running back Clinton Portis (concussion) and Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley (ankle) are holding roster spots although they're unable to play.
"I punted well," said Smith, who missed the Carolina and Kansas City games before returning against Philadelphia and re-injuring the groin, forcing him to miss last week's game at Atlanta. "I felt good. [Waiting until Saturday] is a wise decision because you never know how it's going to respond. We don't want any more flareups."
Betts, who's set to replace Portis, took limited work on the left ankle that he sprained at Atlanta and which had sidelined him the previous two days, said he's optimistic about being ready to face the Broncos. "I'm headed in the right direction," Betts said. "Today gave me a little more optimism. I'm a lot better from after the game, probably about 75 percent."
While Betts hasn't started since 2006, he rushed for 861 yards in the final seven games that season when Portis was on injured reserve. And Betts gained 70 yards on 15 carries last week despite the injury.
"You get this moment of opportunity and all of a sudden I'm a little banged-up, but I can't worry about that," Betts said. "My body will let me know when it's ready. I embrace the opportunity. I'll to try to do something to help give this team a spark, get some wins, turn this thing around and give the fans something to cheer about again."
If Betts can't play, Washington would go with Rock Cartwright, whose last start was in 2003 and who has just 20 carries the last four seasons. "I just needed some time off," said Heyer, who sprained a ligament on Oct. 26 against the Eagles and aggravated it against the Falcons. "In the cold and rain, it's stiff and couldn't move. I got some treatment. I'm moving better."
Heyer has started every game this year, five at right tackle and four on the left side in place of Samuels. If Heyer is unable to go, the Redskins would replace him with D'Anthony Batiste, who hasn't started a game since 2007 and has never started at tackle.

An off-duty Baltimore City Police officer was charged with two counts of reckless endangerment after pointing his departmentally-issued handgun at people in Towson.
Matthew David Daugherty, 28, was arrested around 2:15 a.m. Saturday morning and later released on $75,000 bail.
Baltimore County Police responded to the Rec Room at 512 York Road in Towson at 2:15 a.m., where an employee told them an intoxicated off-duty city officer was acting belligerent and saying he had a gun. The employee took car keys from the man as the bar was closing because he appeared too intoxicated to drive, according to a police press release.
The man left the bar through back door before officers arrived, and he was located outside in a parking lot at Delaware and Pennsylvania avenues. Two males told police the suspect had pointed a gun at them. Officers identified the man as an off-duty Baltimore City Police officer and found his departmentally-issued Glock-22 handgun on him in a holster, the release said.
Daughtery was immediately suspended from Baltimore City Police when they were notified about the incident. In addition to the criminal charges, he will face internal disciplinary actions, according to a Baltimore City Police press release.
"While there is no assumption of guilt, the allegations contained in the police report are reprehensible and we have zero tolerance for any activity which undermines the integrity of this agency or the public trust that we work so hard to earn," the release said.
The report will be forwarded to the Baltimore County Liquor Board for review after the investigation is complete, per department policy, the release said.

Now that Newt Gingrich is taking his turn as the GOP frontrunner du jour, late night TV is having some fun at his expense.
Newt Gingrich's rise in the polls has made him late-night fodder.
"It's funny," remarked David Letterman Monday night. "Romney is the Mormon, and Newt Gingrich is the one with three wives."
Gingrich began dating his second wife while still married to his first wife — and began dating his third and current wife while still married to his second.
Letterman also devoted the night's Top Ten to Gingrich with a list of the "Top Ten Ways The World Would Be Different If Everyone Were Named Newt."
The number one way: "You know who ain't gonna be president? Newt Perry."

Dexter Episode 702
"Sunshine and Frosty Swirl"
Written By: Manny Coto
Directed By: Steve Shill
Original Airdate: 7 October 2012
In This Episode...
After Dexter's response to Deb's question is "Yes," he is a serial killer, Deb flees. Dexter catches up with her on the street where she is vomiting. The questions begin, and Dexter realizes the only thing he can do is tell her the truth. What shocks her even more than Dexter's confession is when he tells her Harry knew, and helped him develop his code. She goes back inside with him. Dexter tries to explain to her about his Dark Passenger (she is offended that he gave it a name) and how he kills those who slip through the cracks of justice. She doesn't buy this. Deb slugs Dexter in the face and storms out. After she leaves, Dexter realizes the Ice Truck Killer arm is among the items Deb has uncovered. Back at the station, Dexter checks the evidence locker, and finds the arm missing - signifying the one in his apartment is the real deal. Masuka walks in on Dexter and explains what happened with the missing arm. Dexter figures out that Lewis sent him the arm.
During the morning briefing, Deb introduces the crew to Wayne Randall, a prisoner convicted for life after he and his teenaged girlfriend went on a cross-country Natural Born Killers-type crime spree that ended in Miami. Now that he has been imprisoned for 15 years, he wants to make amends and show the cops where the bodies of three girls are buried. Deb assigns Masuka to the dig site, even though Dexter volunteers eagerly for it. After the briefing, Deb admits to Dexter that she very nearly arrested him this morning. She doesn't really know what to do, but decides that if killing is an addiction she wants to put him through rehab. Dexter will move in with Deb, they will eat together, go to work together, everything. In a desperate attempt to appease his beloved sister, Dexter agrees to this. Deb waivers between furious, disgusted, and worried about her brother.
Masuka desperately does not want to spend another day at the dig site. Dexter volunteers and clears it through Deb. He is surprised when she agrees - until she says she is coming. A lead on Mike's murder comes in, giving Dexter some limited freedom. He goes to the dig site, but when they break for lunch, Dexter goes to Lewis's apartment. There he finds his credit card numbers (proof that it was Lewis fucking with him) and a rambling, ranting vlog post about how much he hates Dexter. Lewis comes home unexpectedly, and Dexter attacks him. Lewis is scared and promises Dexter will never see him again - not at work, not with Jamie, nowhere. But when Dexter and Deb visit Harrison later that night, Dexter discovers Lewis is there, and arrogantly casual about it.
That night at dinner, Dexter doses Deb's food with sedative, sneaks out, and attacks Lewis. He takes the man, sedated, to the beach - but calls Deb. She comes running (despite being horribly groggy from her drugging) but rather than be mad at him for sneaking out, she is proud that Dexter called her - it shows that he is in control. It is hard to tell with Dexter, but he truly does seem to be trying it her way. It could be the conversation he had with Randall earlier, about how Randall accepted his situation. The next day, back at the dig site, Dexter seems to have a surprisingly sunny outlook on life. Deb is proud. Then Randall throws himself in front of a tanker truck and Dexter starts to doubt the idea of change. Randall probably shouldn't be Dexter's yardstick on this.
Also: One of the Fox Hole strippers, Nadia, befriends Quinn. She flirts with him a lot, but by the episode's end she seems to just be looking for a sugar daddy. The cops have a minor lead on the Mike / Kaja murder. They found Kaja's boyfriend, Tony, but his alibi checks out - he couldn't have killed Kaja. Tony admits that he last saw Kaja with Viktor, so Batista starts searching for him. "Mob boss" Isaac decides that George isn't handling the situation well, so he comes to the States and kills Tony. And Laguerta is starting to wonder if the Bay Harbor Butcher is back - or if they caught the wrong guy.
Dig It or Bury It?
I'm not sure how I feel about Deb's idea of "killer rehab." It seems sadly naive of Deb. She should know that sociopathy is not something that can just be "cured." I suppose her love for Dexter blurs the line. I'm just not sure where they can take "killer rehab." Oh man, what if they kill off Deb? I don't think I could handle that. Rita was hard enough.
Also, I'm not crazy about this whole Ukranian mob subplot. Maybe it is just because the Dexter/Debra plot is so engrossing I get annoyed every time we stray.
Killer Instinct
In a bid to understand Dexter's Dark Passenger, she asks him how he feels when the urge to kill rises. "It starts with blood. The image of it, trickling down back of my eyelids. The trickle becomes a stream, then a flood. It fills me up. The blood turns black, there is a pressure. It feels like my head will explode, and the only way to relieve pressure is to open the floodgates."
Flashback to the Future
Harry is not happy that Deb knows about Dexter's Dark Passenger, but I think he is even more upset that Dexter is holding on to a shred of hope that Deb's killer rehab can help him. "If it were that simple, don't you think I would have tried that?"
Dexter seems to be infatuated with Randall's ex, Hannah, and Quinn gets closer to Nadia.

If you're one of the millions that lost your job and have found it nearly impossible to find another job that pays a fraction of what you were once making, it's understandable to be angry and depressed. Heck, I was their once myself. So, allow me to suggest that instead of sitting home collecting unemployment benefits and hoping something will change, do what I did for the first time over 10 Years ago. Create your own job!
How To Make Fast Money Online
I am not a big fan of people selling books, informational C.D.'s, etc. on "How to Make Fast Money Online." The fact is, I don't recall ever reading anything that gave me an "ah ha" moment that had the words "How To" tied together in some fashion with "Make Money Fast." I guess an article on robbing a bank or store or something can lead to fast money…provided you don't mind the jail time that goes with it.
Why Working From Home Could Be Your First Real Step To Financial Security
No matter your circumstances, I want to take this opportunity to encourage you to consider the idea of working from home. For many, the prospect of being self-employed seems more like a dream, and is usually outside of our traditional comfort zone. Well, I am here to tell you that you can be your own boss if you're only willing to take the risks! Chances are, the only thing holding you back is the fear of the unknown!!!
Guess what:
Why Relationships Matter to Your Business Success
Regardless of what you're selling and who you are selling to, developing long-term relationships with your prospects is crucial to your businesses success. If you mismanage these crucial relationships, your business is at risk to losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in new business every year. Compounded annually, that's a lot of losses!
Lets face it. The cost to acquire new business is expensive as hell. There is no shortage of information online that tells you, the business owner, just how important client retention is. Depending upon the industry you're in, and what you're offering, it can range from $20 to multiple hundreds of dollars in costs per new customer.
Understanding what search engines are and how they "think"
If you are going to be an entrepreneur that makes money online, it goes without saying that you have to understand what search engines are and how they think. Now, how they think can also mean how they work, but the fact is, as technology advances search engines are becoming more and more intuitive in what information they provide based upon a range of algorithmic calculations developed by real thinking engineers.
What is Link Bait And How Do I Get Some?
As I will discuss in the near future, the most important factor to any website is the "link ability" element. It's simply not uncommon for many website owners and web masters to ask "What is this link bait I keep hearing about?" when trying to figure out how to promote their site for outstanding organic search rankings.
Link Ability – The Life Blood of A Website
When it comes to developing and marketing a successful web asset, one of the most difficult aspects is identifying the "Link Ability" of the site. Business owners want to know if the site will make them money. Will the investment result in expanded business and higher ROI? Link Ability is one of the most important elements that will determine a website's opportunity for success, one of the most difficult to assess, and almost always the last thing considered by web developers. When we make changes to an existing site, or a web design firm is retained to re-design a website, you can bet Link Ability was the core cause of the revisions.
What Works Better, Building An Online Business Or A Brick and Mortar Operation?
What works better—the online business approach or the more traditional brick and mortar business? Hey it's a great question, and while there's really not a perfectly straightforward answer for choosing one way or another, there definitely are some clear facts to keep in mind as you think about starting a small business. So, let's dig in to some of the details.
Learn One of the Most Important Secrets for Starting a Successful Business.
Ready to learn one of the most important secrets there is to building a successful and profitable business on the web?
What Is The Single Most Effective Thing You Can Do To Start Your Own Business
Dale Carnegie, perhaps one of the most influential and original business gurus of the last century was quoted saying,
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
10 Key Traits Of The Successful Entrepreneur
Being a successful entreprenuer comes with a lot of demands that many don't face in a more traditional 9-5 working environment. Do you need to have special character traits to be a successful entreprenuer? In my opinion, you really do. If you don't have them all, that's ok. You can learn and apply what many successful entrepreneurs already have working for them!
Work At Home Systems – Don't Be A Victim
Unfortunately, it's true. The work at home niche is absolutely full of scammers. Again, remember I don't like to use this word. However, starting out, I want to place emphasis on the unfortunate fact that you are the prey and my job is to educate and prepare. Now, this is just an educated guess, but do you think it would be too unreasonable to say that upwards of 90% of "Work At Home Opportunities" are scams? For me, that seems like a pretty safe assumption.
Why A Shoestring At-Home Business Can Outperform A Traditional New Small Business
We'll be talking more about this topic in future articles, but today we need to take a really serious look at why starting an at-home business on a shoestring budget can outright outperform any traditional new small business almost every time. Ready?
Creating An Internet Company From Scratch
I will say that building an Internet company from scratch is not an overnight process – nor is it for the faint of heart. It means having a solid strategy and it takes a long-term approach. I have never built a website that I worked at that didn't result in a money-making experience. I don't expect this website will be any different; however, we do have the "link ability" and search engine variable, which can always impact the success of any web venture.
Search Engine Algorithms – What Are They & Do They Really Matter?
For those of you who want to get into theory I'll venture in because it is somewhat relevant to how a search engine works. So, let me say from the outset that I quit chasing "answers" to algorithms over 7 years ago so I don't profess to be an expert on the topic. The way I look at it, unless an engineer from Google tells you what specifically they're factoring and what weight is applied to that factor, it really doesn't matter does it? Really?
What Is The Difference Between SEO And Internet Marketing?
You've heard the term SEO — search engine optimization — but what in the world does it really mean, anyway? And how is it any different from Internet marketing? That's a really good question and to be effective in developing a money-making website, you really do need to understand the difference.
Now, what I am going to teach you here is going to run contrary to what you have always learned, or will read about, virtually everywhere online. But, I have been saying it for years and search engines like Google are finally starting to reflect my position through their own actions. Even when they have yet to acknowledge my position on the matter.
So, what is the difference between SEO and Internet Marketing?
What are webmaster guidelines for search engines?
Continuing on the topic of Search Engines, I want to talk with you about the "webmaster guidelines" that used to be available from the various search engines. The reality is, these guidelines were just basic principles that search engines wanted you to follow to improve the quality of the information they are serving to their customers. Overtime, a lot of these rules governing search have been hidden or just disappeared. So it makes it hard for the new guy on the block to know in advance what the search engines actually expect of you.
Read-ability: How You Write And The Font You Use Can Impact Your Online Sales
Writing for the web and writing for print are two totally different monsters. And by saying "monsters," it's safe to admit that many folks are practically scared to death about actually trying to sit down and write something. Unlike the fear of public speaking, most of the fear of writing comes from lack of understanding the objective — but more on that later.
What Is A Call To Action?
Yes – I know – but this is so important for any website. It's a timeless concept within the form of art known as closing the sale, a call to action is vital and far to often, left out. And in fact, while it's easy to work ourselves right around the known and proven traditional tactics of selling when creating a website, for most, this is exactly what a website is supposed to do — sell a product or service to the visitors. On the web, the call to action is vital, it's your "buy signal" - it's your close!
Are you ready to learn more? Keep reading…
What Is Co-Citation And How Does It Work?
Co-citation is something that is considered by many SEO gurus and practitioners when it comes to encouraging that your site has the best neighbors possible. It's not always easy to affect, but in some cases, taking a proactive approach to co-citation is well worth it.
Call To Action: It's Essential and Here's Why!
What is your call to action? Creating website content without a call to action is like opening a retail store without any employees. Customers come in, but you have no way of helping them find what they're after and no way to guide them to the checkout counter. A call to action is essential on the web…whether for sales oriented copy or any other web content as well.
What's The Difference Between Benefits And Features?
As consumers — both of the online and offline variety — we are all under fairly constant barrage from marketers and salespeople. It's the nature of business. Produce a product or service that folks either need, want, or can be convinced somehow of either. Repeat and profit.
Hard Sell Vs. Soft Sell
When it comes to selling online, the age-old debate still stands. To hard sell or to soft sell?
While many have found success using both methods in their online marketing strategies, you'll probably be best served by coming to fully understand which method best fits your business model and sticking with the selling techniques that are working best for you consistently. Let's take a look.
The Basics Of Developing An Online Store – Overview
What does it take to get your e-commerce website off the ground and running? Besides an excellent product and great promotional skills, that is? Let's take a look at that basics of developing an online store and what it takes to hit the ground running on the web…
ROI For Entrepreneurs Defined
Return on investment, most commonly referred to by the acronym "ROI," is really a fairly straightforward concept. This holds especially true when it comes to entrepreneurs that are the "jump in and get things done type." Those that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty (entrepreneurs — you know who you are).
What Is A Link Profile?
Building a solid, diverse, and natural link profile is more essential than ever when it comes to optimizing your website to do well in the search engines (and beyond). But what exactly is a link profile?
Using Pattern Linking To Expand Your Website Reach and Relevance
Fore me, much of SEO blends together to make a pattern. What I present to you is a way to expand the ranking patterns of your website during your Internet marketing campaign. It's the process I have used to generate millions of visitors to my own various websites. When analyzing and researching your keywords, the process I use relates specifically to word patterns.
Setting Goals And Following Through – The Year Is Ticking…
As we roll deeper and deeper into the new year, in practically no time at all, people will begin to regret creating all the unrealistic and unreachable goals and resolutions that came at the start of the new year. You know — the plan to "lose 50 pounds in the time span beginning with New Year's Day until the first day of February" kind of goals. And we all know what happens — treadmills were bought, treadmills were gradually forgotten about, and treadmills will eventually be sold.
How To Double Conversions By Understanding What Visitors Want
We're all familiar with the story of the young man who asks a multi-millionaire how to be successful. "Find out what the people want," he says. "Then give it to them." As if it was just that easy!
Wait, this is the internet…maybe it actually is that easy.
The trouble is that many people aren't paying attention. Good people, too—people who ought to know better. The result is websites that don't convert well. Yet, you can likely double or even triple your conversions by simply understanding what visitors want from you and handing it over.
How To Make Your Website Stand Out Among The Masses
Looking for a few ways to get noticed and take a step ahead of the competition with your website? It's definitely worth the effort, and taking the leading edge as far as standing out from the masses is something that just so happens to be very doable too.

The Express-Star
The word "overwhelming" comes to mind, but barely describes Blanchard's 54-0 win over Bridge Creek accurately.
The game was shortened to just three quarters as lighting approached the field with incoming storms.
Even some of the Lions (5-0) fans, after weeks of doing about the same thing to other teams vying to ruin their repeat state title run, had to be surprised by just how easy it was at times for their team to run up the score. That's not to say the big win didn't come without resistance from the Bobcats, who go 0-4 after the defeat. Quarterback Jimmy Wynne did his absolute best, slinging the ball around for a couple of first downs.
But it was Braden Stringer, who had more than 200 yards rushing in the first half alone along with 5 touchdowns, that really stole the show. He made it clear early on that was his mission.
After returning the kickoff to midfield, it took Stringer one play to add big to his total yardage. The 50-yard jaunt was capped with an extra point, and less than a minute into the game it was already 7-0. The next touchdown took a few more plays, but the short punt by the Bobcats facing a strong wind made the field short for Blanchard. Stringer burst through the three yards, making the tacklers look like water off the back of a duck to take it to 14-0.
He did it again on their next drive. Try as they might, there was just no room to run for the Bobcat offense, and another punt became another quick score. From 33 yards out, Stringer made it look easy for his third touchdown. He had his fourth before the first frame was done on a 12-yard run, and the game was over with not even 12 minutes played.
By this time, the Lions had room to spread the wealth. Kanon Kirchner took his opportunity as the first quarter ended and ran for a touchdown to make it 34-0. Things got less rosy later on when the Lions found themselves backed up to the four yard line. That only made Stringer run farther, 94 yards to be exact all the way to the end zone for his fifth touchdown of the night
After about a quarter and a half of silence, the Bobcat camp was rustled into action with a gutsy play call. On their own 44 yard line on fourth down, the punt was a fake and ended up in the hands of Mason Trevino, who scrambled 39 yards all the way down to the Lions' 25 yard line.
That drive was devastatingly stopped by an interception that took Blanchard across midfield to the 47 yard line. It resulted in another Lions touchdown to make the score 48-0 at halftime.
Blanchard started the second half without much of their starters on the bench. The result was the same. Ashton Yeargin got a pass on an out rout to run three yards into the end zone that made the score 54-0 to end the third quarter. Soon after, the weather ended the game early.

Cubs Lose another close game to Pioneers
The Kimball Cubs hosted the Pioneers from Pierz last Tuesday night, Feb. 19. The game was close throughout the first half. With 11:17 left the Cubs, led by a 13-12 score. The Pioneers forced a couple of late turnovers and converted them into baskets as they took a three-point lead at the half (28-25).
The game remained close in the second half as well. Pierz pushed the lead to six, only to see Kimball answer and take the lead back a few minutes later. Kimball led 43-41 with 10:12 remaining in the game. The Cubs had three different opportunities to increase their one-point lead late in the game. Missed free-throw chances gave the Pioneers one last chance. Pierz answered by making a shot with one second remaining and defeating the Cubs 51-50.
Cameron Hunt and Jarred Merchant led the Cubs in scoring with 16 and 12 points respectively. Hunt dished out nine assists and added three steals. Merchant led the rebounding effort with nine boards. The Cubs were 14 of 26 (54 percent) from the free-throw line in the game. The Cubs record dropped to 10-11 on the season and 4-7 in conference play.
Kimball upsets Rockford
Last Friday evening, Feb. 22, the Kimball Cubs hosted the Rockford Rockets on Senior Night. The conference opponents battled back and forth during the first half. Kimball's zone defense frustrated the Rockets as they shot 30 percent (7/23) from the field in the first half. The Cubs took a 24-18 lead into the break.
In the second half, the Cubs gradually increased their lead. At the 10:48 mark the Cubs led by 14, and three and a half minutes later they led by 18 points. The lead grew to as much as 22 points before the Cubs closed out a 17 point victory, 60-43, over the Rockets.
Jarred Merchant led the scoring attack with 18 points. Cameron Hunt and Austin Roerick were also in double figures with 11 and 10 points. Hunt dished out 11 assists and had five steals. Preston Peglow and Cameron Hunt had six rebounds each. The win put the Cubs at the .500 mark on the season with an 11-11 record. Kimball has two conference road games remaining in the regular season.

JEFFERSON — Heating problems at an Ashtabula polling place has prompted the Ashtabula County Board of Elections to relocate three precincts for Tuesday's general election.
Ashtabula precincts 3A, 3B and 4A have been moved to Messiah Lutheran Church, 615 W. Prospect Road, said Carol Lovas, election board director. The election board learned Monday morning there is no heat at GO Ministries on Station Avenue, the original location for the three precincts, Lovas said. The problem would not be fixed in time for the election, she said.
"If there's no heat we can't have it as a polling place," Lovas said. "We have no choice. We can't put heaters in there."
The polling place change will be advertised and signs will be erected to inform voters of this one-time switch, Lovas said. Messiah Lutheran is a short distance from GO Ministries and is equipped with an elevator, she said.
Polls are open across the county between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Albemarle County police are investigating the shooting of a female at her home just after 11:40 p.m. The woman called 911 from a neighbor's house claiming that she was shot. When EMS units responded, they found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to the face.
The female was transported to a local hospital with non life threatening injuries. The bullet apparently entered her chin and exited her neck.
Police have no motives or suspects at this time. They are questioning eyewitnesses but say that they are having problems with a language barrier.

Gov. Mike Pence's staunch partisan opposition to expanding health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act blatantly disregards an opportunity to create 30,000 new jobs and insure 400,000 additional Hoosiers.
According to a study conducted by the Indiana Hospital Association, the value of that expansion to Indiana's economy is estimated at $3.4 billion. I understand that not everyone agrees with the premise of the Affordable Care Act, but it's possible to disagree with something and still accept it as the law. It's imperative that we do so when thousands of new jobs and expanded health care coverage are on the line.
As a college student and a future member of the Indiana work force, these new jobs and expanded coverage are extremely important to me. Governors in states far more conservative than Indiana have accepted this funding because they know it's the right thing to do, especially for those residents who are in dire need of insurance.
I can't understand why Gov. Pence would put politics over good public policy when Indiana clearly needs the help. If Republican governors in Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, and five other states can support this policy, then why can't Gov. Pence?
Clearly his priorities are not in line with those of working Hoosiers.

Mervyns' days are few: Retailer with 3 county locations winds up final sales as economy wipes out another chain
Stores will close doors on Sunday in Ventura, Oxnard, Simi Valley
After almost five decades in business, the end is nearing for Mervyns.
Stores in Oxnard, Ventura and Simi Valley will close their doors for the last time on Sunday.
At the Ventura store, all merchandise is 80 percent off, and what little that is left has been picked through and moved to the front of the store, surrounded by bare walls and empty space. Floors are empty, except for shelving units and other furniture that is also for sale.
Although retailers such as Kohl's and J.C. Penney are expected to pick up the customers, the future of the Mervyns employees and the buildings themselves is less clear.
According to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN ) notices the company filed with the Employment Development Department, there are 83 employees affected at the Simi Valley store, 91 employees in Oxnard, and 89 in Ventura, or 263 total. Across the state, thousands of workers are losing their jobs as all 149 Mervyns stores shut down.
Long lines formed at some of the stores in Fresno earlier this week as customers snapped up bargains.
Teresa Conway and her granddaughter Kayla loaded bags stuffed with clothes into their trunk at the West Shaw store.
"Everybody got a full wardrobe," Teresa Conway said, referring to about a dozen children, spouses and grandchildren. Their finds included $40 mens' Van Heusen dress shirts on sale for $11 and $35 jeans marked down to $12.
Kayla Conway was sad to see Mervyns close.
"I really liked the store a lot," she said. Mervyns had "cheap clothes, but they were good."
Professional liquidators are handling the final sales. The Mervyns liquidator could not be reached for comment, and Mervyns executives did not return messages.
Patrick Mon Pere Sr., president and chief executive of the Fresno-based Patrick James clothing stores, who also runs liquidation business Patrick James Promotions, said liquidators know how to move merchandise and specialize in going-out-of-business sales. He is not handling the Mervyns liquidations.
Typically, the liquidator determines how much prices will be cut, works with staff to create roomier aisles to handle increased foot traffic and helps the retailer advertise the sale, Mon Pere said.
Everything is for sale, including office furniture and shelves. The Clovis Mervyns was selling four-drawer file cabinets for $75 and small clear plastic price sign holders for a buck.
"That, believe me, is an art form in itself," Mon Pere said. "To be able to sell out 98 percent of your inventory in a store is quite difficult."
Other retailers will pick up the customers when Mervyns finally closes its doors.
Steve Geil, president of the Economic Development Corp. serving Fresno County, said it's an opportunity for independent retailers to market themselves to former Mervyns customers.
Other experts said many shoppers will turn to J.C. Penney and Kohl's.
Kohl's offers a similar concept to Mervyns with similar pricing, said Jeff Green of Mill Valley-based Jeff Green Partners, a retail feasibility consultant.
But Kohl's has the added edge of carrying discount designer lines like the Simply Vera clothes created by designer Vera Wang, said Karla Martin, a vice president in the San Francisco office of Booz & Company, a management consulting firm.
The lure of Kohl's also contributed to Mervyns' closure, Green said.
Mervyns faced other issues as well, including the economy.
Officials also blamed a private equity group that bought Mervyns, separating it from sister store Target in 2004. The investment group bought the retailer, acquired its real estate and leased it back to the company at substantially increased rates, which Mervyns attorneys said led to its bankruptcy.
Full-time workers who want to stay in retail may have a hard time finding a new job, said Steven Gutierrez, a labor market analyst in Fresno.
"It's probably going to be a while before something pops up in that type of field in the retail sector," he said. "Everything is taking a hit."

Lena and Nikita are unique and working with them is a pleasure. But it's much nicer dealing with very hard working people. It is a huge talent to know how to work. That's the kind of group I have now. No matter what I offer them they do it. I attend every practice as if it was a celebration.

God pity them both! and pity us all,
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall.
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "The baseball season is at its end!"
With apologies to John Greenleaf Whittier, to Maud Muller herself, and to what might have been, the baseball season will be over tomorrow. And though the season has been bastardized by Bud Selig and his interleague games, the increasing swiftness by which the most perfect six months of each year pass only reinforces the sad truth that we're not getting any younger.
Balderdash, I say! During the baseball season we all get younger, even the naysayers and the disbelievers. Even the manager of the Houston Astros, whoever that poor fellow happens to be.
As Pirates fans are about to remember, nothing can beat October baseball, unless, of course, you can somehow find yourself propped in the rightfield upper deck of Memorial Stadium on a balmy night with an ice cold Boh in hand, a baseball game at your feet and a view of an orange midsummer sun setting over Baltimore's rowhouses.
The game gets into us; the time of the first pitch — 7:05, 1:35, 4:05, 10:35 — dictates our day, and the pace of our day. It gets the table cleared and the dishes washed by 6:30. It's what keeps us up until 2 o'clock on a foggy September morning to watch all 18 blasted innings of a depressing walk-off loss at the height of a postseason chase — a failed postseason chase at that. Imagine the absurdity of committing such an irresponsible act, but it's necessary to see it through, and for six months it defines us. These are the saddest words of all: The baseball season has come to an end!
They say the beauty of the baseball season is there is always a game tomorrow. But until tomorrow's game begins, you live with the game of last night. It's what drives you up the wall in the days following your team blowing two straight save situations. Even though your team is a lock for the postseason, you still want to the win the division, even though you said you would be perfectly content to accomplish your first winning season in 20.
Yes, we've come this far, we must see it through.
The great Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post, who should be in the writers' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame, once relayed the story of how he and former Orioles manager Earl Weaver undertook a baseball discussion in the dugout two hours prior to a game. As both Boswell and Weaver became engrossed in the discussion, they lost track of the time until the National Anthem began to play.
As though being snapped from a dream, Boswell realized the game was about to begin and he was still in the dugout well past the time reporters were permitted to be. He apologized profusely for taking up too much of Weaver's time, but Weaver told him, "Don't worry about it, kid. This ain't football. We do this everyday."
It was Boswell who said, "Baseball's true secret is that, for those who appreciate and value it, it has no secrets." And the most fundamental truth of all is that the regular season begins in April and ends in late September or early October.
Unfair as it seems, the summer is over. Has been for a week now, bringing to mind the words of the late A. Bartlett Giamatti, who wrote, "It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."
Summer is anticipatory. Summer is on the go. Summer is wonderful. Summer is adventurous, and it's melancholy all in one. And this summer was met in these parts with all the more anticipation and all the more excitement because there were three contending big league teams on our televisions and radios and within a two-hour drive every day of the season.
And now summer is bid goodbye with more melancholy. But as Whittier wrote to conclude "Maud Muller,"
Ah, well! for us all some sweet hope lies
Deeply buried from human eyes;
And, in the hereafter, angels may
Roll the stone from its grave away!
Pitchers and catchers, after all, report in 136 days.

Great bag for multiple uses
By Beto
from San Jose,CA
Ever since I was introduced to Venum a few years back I have never looked back at any other brand. They produce great quality products AND their designs are very attractive. You cannot go wrong with a Venum product.
good bag overall
By K11986
from Canada
Not sure if the other reviewers have the same exact bag or not, but the one purchased from this site has neither "lots of pockets" or "no pockets". In addition to the main compartment, this bag features 2 small interior pockets -- one with a zipper, one without.This bag can be used as a gym bag, but because it's not well ventilated, it's best if wet (sweaty) items are not kept in it. The best feature of the bag is its look, though as a day bag for short trips, it's actually ideal also.

"Good but not great..but the later books get better"
I was disappointed with this book because I read a later book from the series first.
Anna fields is a narrator I don't care for. I just don't like her voice. She does a competent job, so draw your own conclusions.
Unlike many of Audibles Series offerings, The readers change throughout the series. They are all ok and don't ruin the books or mispronounce names, as is often the case in some of the other series I have listened to.
This book needs to be read for the character foundations, and it is an ok book. The later books are much better, with more intricate plotting, interesting stories and plenty of twists.
Read this one and then get the others in the series. You won't be disappointed.
"This is no Stephanie Plumb!"
If you like plenty of Raunchy sex, stupid repetitive jokes and constant bad language in normal conversation this is for you. It is NOT for me. The reader is annoying so that did not help. Skip this one. I couldn't finish it.
"Formula Romance with an interesting story"
OK, Beautiful girl who doesn't think she's beautiful, though almost every man she meets hits on her, meets gorgeous man with scar who thinks he's ugly. Of course it's lust at first site. She's a medium and he's a bootegger cursed into seeing ghosts fom his past. That is the interesting part of the story. If you've read romances before, you know the romance part of the story. No suprises there. The writing is good, and the story is entertaining.
The sex parts weren't as bad as many I've read. Though I enjoy romance, I don't really like much sex in books, and please skip the thrust by thrust details! Leave it to the imagination. Not too bad, but not one I will read again.
I like SciFi, and this is supposed to be a classic, so I kept listening for 10 hours! what a waste! I kept thinking it had to get better. Even the action was boring. Slow story, laid back reader, sleep inducing!
Why was this a classic???????
"Really Scary Villians"
Good characters, good reader, tense, edge of your seat story. This would make a good movie. Some great plot twists add to the fun. I will definately be checking out the other books by this author!
"Read This Book!"
This isn't a genre I normally read, but it transcends any genre. Like other reviewers, I wont tell you what it is about or what happens except that it is a story of a remarkable child and the people around her. I read all 13+ hours without stopping except when absolutely nescessary. This is a special and suprising story with lots of twists. It might give you nightmares, but you won't soon forget it!
"least favorite of the series so far"
This is an excellent series, but I missed Ramses (The Emerson's young but highly entertaining son and my favorite character) on this trip to Egypt, though his letters were my favorite part of the book.
One of the most striking parts of this book is the very unsympathetic portrayal of Emerson. He is verbally abusive, rude to everyone, stuborn, and generally very unlikable. These traits are usual in Emerson, but not to this extent and are usually softened by good deeds and goodheartedness that is not in evidence in this book.
It is very hard to see what Amelia sees in him to love. I would have run screaming in the other direction, regardless of how handsome he was!
I also found unbelievable the successful disguise of the so called "Master Criminal".
Still it is a part of this good series, and this book needs to be read to continue.
On to the next book, and I hope things are back to normal.
"my favorite of the series"
Ramses, a precocious 7 year old, is the star of this book. I laughed out loud at his opinions, antics, and triumphs over his parents, egypt, criminals, and everything else.
Lots of fun!
"Rereading a favorite series"
This classic series narrated by the incomparable Barbara Rosenblat is great fun.
Lots of humor, lots of great characters, and an indomitable parasol wielding heroine, who can bully and control anyone but her lovable Bull of a husband, and her brilliant rascal of a son. Archaeology in the victorian era in egypt is a background for intrique, mystery and murder, with the Emersons on the trail of the murderer as long as it doen't interfer too much with the completing next great find ahead of the professional thieves and incompetent government officials. I highly recomend it! Enjoy!
"Amanda Quick Fizzles on this one"
I am a fan of Amanda Quick's books even though they are always the same formula. There is usually a good enough story and interesting enough characters to allow me to deal with the formula romance, which is always the same.
This time it did not work for me. The story got a little convoluted and was hard to follow.
I did not hate it but I kept losing focus, missing a chapter or two because my mind wandered, and had to go back. I almost stopped and decided to go to another book.
Oh Well......
"Humorous Scifi"
I enjoyed this book quite a lot. The Idea of an alien race needing an hollywood agent to be introduced to earth is creative and funny. Lots of humor including some laugh out loud moments with a wise cracking alien that looks like a jello mound.
Now I am someone who does not think that bad language enhances a story but often detracts from it, so when the 1st sentence of the book included an F-bomb I was worried.
There is some language, but not enough to ruin the book and the main culprit was a very discusting person who was not in the book for long. I enjoyed the story and the characters. The reader did an excellent job.
Good lighthearted read! I recommend it.

Mario Williams isn't much of a tweeter, but the Buffalo Bills edge-rusher posted messages tonight seemingly in response to the allegations set forth in a Houston Chronicle article.
The Chronicle reported the attorney representing Williams' ex-fiancee had released texts in which Williams mentions suicidal thoughts and taking narcotics without anyone's knowledge.
After tweeting once between July 23 and tonight, Williams posted several messages (through TwitLonger) from his verified account:
"The true character of someone is always revealed in times that we don't typically agree with. In these times it's how you respond and portray yourself to others that shows the ethics, character and true morals of a person. What's shown speaks for itself!
"I'm still here and always will be. I'm too strong for ridicule and the childish extremes those will do to try and taint a persons name when in reality you make me stronger, hungrier and more determined.
"I'm thankful to be so blessed that nothing said shall ever contest. I cherish what's been given to me, I cherish life and The Lord that allows me to breathe every breath. Most of all I'm thankful he showed me this is the season for revealing ones true character. Revealing the true person!"

The Buzz blog likes to look back 100 years ago today in The Buffalo Evening News, and this ad seemed very apt.
Alas, J.N. Adam, who besides running the great department store was mayor of Buffalo from 1906 to 1909, is long gone (and buried in Edinburgh, Scotland).
But the Buffalo winter?
It lives on!

Robin Bren
The most important thing is to get not just your client to trust you, but your adversary to trust you."
Robin Bren got her first law school exam back with a terse note from the professor: "Are you sure you want to be in law school?"
Well, no. She was in shell shock: she hadn't realized how much work was involved, or how bare-bones VLS was in this, its third year. The exam's first question had been "What is in rem jurisdiction?" "I didn't know the answer-and there was only one question," she recalls. She white-knuckled it through her first year, was drawn in by the interesting course topics and avidly attended every summer session, and was acing courses by the end-while surreptitiously fitting in a day a week of skiing.
Today, Robin is a well-known trademark attorney, the first woman partner in the prestigious intellectual property firm of Oblon, Spivak, McClelland, Maier & Neustadt, LLP, in Alexandria, Virginia. She counsels clients that range from multinationals to start-ups on how to adopt, clear, and protect their trademarks and to fend off infringement problems. She also advises on unfair competition, false advertising, and copyright matters, and lectures widely on trademark issues.
After VLS, she worked in White Plains, New York, for a hard-bitten former DA from the Bronx who hired her because at $75 a week, she was cheaper than a paralegal. She found that defending clients like a wrongly accused rapist and a desperate shoplifter was absorbing but emotionally and financially wearying, and so reluctantly took a job at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The first application she examined was for "Whoops"-fake plastic vomit. "I sat there looking at it with a sinking heart and thought, 'Is this why I went to law school?'" she recalls. "Luckily, it went uphill from there-it had to!"
After two years, she moved to a law firm in Manhattan to work in trademark law. Eight years and two firms later, in 1990, she joined Oblon, Spivak as a partner. Today, her clients include Toyota, Bard, and Hubbell, top companies in the automotive, medical, lighting and wiring fields, and-one of her personal favorites-Car-Freshner Corporation, owner of LITTLE TREE air fresheners, seen nationwide on rear-view mirrors. She was the long-time counsel for Toys "R" Us, defending one of the most parroted trademarks around. "There were so many infringements that I could really hone my skills," she laughs.
The Internet, she says, has made stealing trademarks a game anyone can get into. "When I started out, to infringe a trademark someone had to have a certain amount of money because they needed a business and an office. Now you can have $5 in your pocket and live in Outer Mongolia." One "R" Us transgressor was located by the warrant office in a trailer in a field in Florida-and the door was answered by a naked man, who in turn hollered for his wife, also nude. She finds the best and least litigious approach is often a low-key but straightforward discussion. "The most important thing is to get not just your client to trust you, but your adversary to trust you," she says.
She believes in teaching her clients to get along without her-an unusual but appreciated approach. "When people ask about me, 'Does she think outside the box?' my colleagues say, 'What box? She doesn't even know a box exists!'" she says. She won't allow any contract language that isn't crystal clear, a precept she teaches to law students as an adjunct professor at George Mason University School of Law. And although she loves her clients, she's happy the stakes are not as high as in criminal law. "I once heard a judge say, 'Trademarks are about money-that's all they are.' It helps you sleep at night."
A strong VLS supporter, she attends almost every reunion, and fondly recalls the mittens she had to wear in class in winter and pet dogs sitting in on lectures. And as for that traumatic exam question- "Twenty years after I graduated, I finally used in rem jurisdiction-in a case involving a domain name!"
