100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (3 out of 3)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Easy to apply (fingers do the job perfectly) Works well with SMD (components a few mm large are really easy to solder now) Cheap (farnell sales it for 4$, twice the price). Good quality (it works so well i wont buy any different brand)
Cons: Hard to open (shuts really tight) Box get greasy (and it came greasy as well in the mail, a bit annoying but it's normal)
Other: Really cheap, and works very well. It's hard to find in europe, because solder is supposed to contain flux, but it's not enough when you have to solder things that are a few mm large. That's when soldering paste comes handy
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Got this for a soldering project i was doing with a gamecube, i needed some flux/paste that would work real good on small electronic contacts like those on the GC, the paste/flux worked fine, it is only 10g tin, and you may think that isnt enough, but for fine electrical work like i was doing were you need so little even a 10g tin will last you a good few years possibly, providing you dont use it everyday :P, though if your a professional i guess you would buy the 50g tin anyhow xD
Cons: none really, great price, will last you a long time on fine electrcal jobs
Other: as long as your not trying to solder the wiring of a boeing 747 it should last a while :P
good price :D
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Easy to use flux in paste/grease form.
Doesn't dry out.
Nice compact metal can.
Cons: Active agent is Zinc Chloride so this flux isn't suitable for PCB soldering.
Other: Excellent product if used correctly, works great for making battery packs. If you're careful to remove the flux residue it can be used for PCB soldering but a rosin based flux would be better.

Associate of Science in Nursing LPN to ASN
The LPN-ASN program recognizes and gives credit for previous education as a licensed practical nurse. Advantages of becoming a registered nurse include expanded nursing knowledge and skill, greater career mobility, increased employment opportunities, and increased income.
The Associate of Science in Nursing Program prepares graduates for entry-level nursing practice as nurse generalists. Students are assisted to develop service oriented and caring behaviors in clinical practice by recognizing, responding to, and valuing caring as the foundation for the profession of nursing. Students integrate concepts from the physical, social and behavioral sciences and humanities with nursing knowledge and evidence-based practice. Using the nursing process as a critical thinking framework students provide safe, quality and individualized nursing care to patients and families within a community context. Students care for a variety of patient populations across the life span and the health care continuum in acute care, long term care and community based settings. After completing the degree, graduates are eligible for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
ASN Program Student Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the University of Saint Francis Associate of Science in Nursing Program are prepared for entry level nursing practice as nurse generalists who will:
- Value service and caring behaviors that assist individuals and groups to achieve optimal health.
- Maintain effective communication and collaborative working relationships with clients, significant support persons and members of the health care team.
- Use the nursing process as a critical thinking framework within diverse health care settings to provide individualized nursing care.
- Demonstrate a commitment to professional growth and life-long learning.
- Integrate related concepts from physical, social and behavioral sciences and humanities with nursing knowledge, evidence-based practice and ethical practice.
- Demonstrate the roles of provider of care, manager of care and active member of the discipline.
- Use technology and information management resources to promote safe and accurate care.
Curriculum Plan
Clinical Requirements
In order to participate in clinical experiences, clinical requirements as set by the Department of Nursing and clinical agencies must be met.
External Assessment Program
The Department of Nursing uses a system of external assessment and remediation for pre-licensure students. All pre-licensure students purchase a designated testing package upon enrollment in the first nursing course. The primary purpose is to help prepare students for NCLEX-RN success. Testing results are also used to evaluate course outcomes.
Pre-licensure students are required to complete designated tests including content mastery assessments at specified points in the curriculum. Additionally, a nationally-normed comprehensive examination designed to predict success on the NCLEX-RN will be administered during the final clinical nursing course. Students must achieve a designated satisfactory score on the comprehensive examination in order to meet course requirements.
Math Competency Program
A math competency program provides student assessment of math calculation knowledge and skills, and consistent testing practices in pre-licensure programs.
Career Advancement
The University of Saint Francis also offers RN-BSN and RN-MSN options. Students who achieve an ASN degree and meet all RN-BSN or MSN admission criteria may be admitted into the respective program. Contact the Admissions Office at 260-399-8000 or 1-800-729-4732 for additional information.
Additional Resources
The Indiana State Board of Nursing web site provides nursing education and nursingprogram information including NCLEX scores for Indiana nursing programs.

Items that hold curses seem just like normal magic items. They are, in fact, perfectly useful magic items in their own right. Under certain conditions, however, the dark magic of an item's curse causes the item to fail or malfunction in some spectacular way. Cursed items should never be placed maliciously in a game or treated simply as a way to thwart the players. Such items can be a useful tool for the Dungeon Master, leading to interesting roleplaying opportunities and adventure hooks.
"A necklace of strangulation makes for a gruesome death, but it proves relatively quick. Similarly, the subtle scarab of death does you little harm until it suddenly slams death's door behind you. But the slow wasting and ultimate fate of the curse of foul rotting . . . a truly twisted mind devised this blight."
Though the origin of the curse remains unknown, the necklace of strangulation appears time and again in history and lore, and it has played a dark part in the deaths of countless heroes and monarchs.
In addition to its normal properties and powers, an item that has this curse strangles its wearer during combat.
This curse was first seen in the spoils taken from Itimish, the Tower of Tombs, but its tenebrous essence has long since spread. A periapt of foul rotting curse inflicts a deadly plague upon its wearer—a horrific scourge that few survive.
In addition to its normal properties and powers, an item that has this curse infects its wearer with a flesh-eating disease.

This is my recipe and I find the calorie count a little shocking. I've tried to research and so far I've come up with a TOTAL for the WHOLE recipe of only 663 calories. So how do they come up with 459 Calories per SERVING? I use only the chicken breast, no skin, a salad dressing of 40 cal per Tbsp, sweet relish has only 15 cal per Tbsp......? I would also like to say ThankYou for your kind reviews. That is the minimum jalapeno I add, often it is a LOT more ;) . Today I used chopped pecans (pine nuts are expensive here too!) I think just about any nut meat would work.
Fixed as written and it was very good. I think I would add some of the juice from the jar of jalapeno peppers to add more heat. I also think that roasting the pine nuts would bring out the nutty flavor of the pine nut. As it was written, the pine nuts added a wonderful texture to the salad. Will definately fix again with these few tweaks!
Yummy! Great textures and flavor. I added an extra 1/2 jalepeno for an additional kick and served on lettuce leaves with tomato.

Good jamming to stem or offwidth.
Gear, bolt anchors.
@45.803378,-108.588755 Highly recommend, especially if you like burly cracks. If you don't have any huge gear to protect the top, you can do what I did & hang a piece of webbing down from the anchors to protect the last couple of moves, for sort of a contrived lead. It's a tempting thought to put a bolt or two up there, if anyone cares I vote no.

Criminals in Prince George's County are stealing Tide laundry detergent from stores and trading it for marijuana and crack, according to Sgt. Aubrey Thompson, head of the Prince George's County Police crime unit that investigates retail crimes.
Thompson went live on KPCC's Take Two radio show in Southern California Wednesday and talked about why hardened criminals are turning to Tide.
They aren't using it to make the drugs. But its popularity as a laundry detergent gives it bartering power, he explained.
"Why Tide though?" asked Take Two Co-Host A Martinez, who wondered why another brand of liquid laundry detergent wouldn't do.
"The product has proven to be effective; it works. Everybody wants Tide," Thompson answered. "That's the product I use."
The detergent is popular among criminals because they want to commit crimes with a high reward and low risk, said Thompson.
Once on the street, they can exchange a $20 bottle of the detergent with a local street dealer for $3—or for a $5 bag of marijuana or a $5 rock of crack, Thompson said. They can also take it to a fencing operation such as a nail salon, barber shop or other local store, according to Thompson. Sometimes one person collects different stolen items and ships them overseas for sale, he said.
The bottles are heavy, weighing 150 ounces, Martinez said and asked how people made off with more than one bottle.
They walk into a store and fill their carts with 40 bottles or so then cover it up with a big roll of Bounty paper towels and walk out of the store calmly, Thompson answered.
Tide crime has slowed down in Prince George's County, but it is still a problem that takes money from the community, according to Thompson.
"We get teased all the time," Thompson said when Martinez asked if officers ever laughed about chasing Tide as part of their job.
"It's no laughing matter because it affects the quality of life of the community because that's money that's being taken from the community and tax," Thompson said.
The illegal Tide transactions generate no tax, so the state of Maryland is not getting funds—and stores have to charge higher prices that the community pays for, Thompson explained. And the solution is not as simple as putting it behind the counter, he added.
"You can't lock up or put security devices on Tide," Thompson said.
It's something people have to use everyday, and if stores locked it up, customers would go elsewhere, according to Thompson. It would also be too costly for stores, he said. But the Organized Retail Crime Unit that he heads is working collectively with area retailers to stop the theft, according to Thompson.

Man of La Mancha
Written by Dale Wasserman
Music by Mitch Leigh
Lyrics by Joe Darion
One of the great classic plays of the American Musical Theater, Man of La Mancha resounds with the strength of the human spirit and the power of imagination to overcome despair. A down-on-his-luck author and actor, Miguel de Cervantes, has run afoul of the Spanish Inquisition. In a 16th century prison he is stripped of his possessions by a motley assortment of thieves, cutthroats, whores and misfits. As Cervantes mounts a brilliant theatrical defense to redeem one precious, uncompleted manuscript, the prisoners become characters from his novel—A transformative tale bursting with passion, hilarity, romance and courage, from which Cervantes conjures his inspired creation Don Quixote, a mad Knight on an even madder Quest: to make the world a better place.

Lucia Mad
by Don Nigro
Told with haunting lyricism and crackling wit, the story of James Joyce's beloved daughter Lucia traces the imagined course of her doomed love for the young writer Samuel Beckett, while investigating the relationship between love, madness, and the act of artistic creation. Although he adores his beautiful and gifted daughter, Joyce is unable to give her the attention she craves, because he is obsessed with the composition of his last great work in progress. When his young disciple Beckett appears and Lucia falls madly in love with him, Beckett is torn between compassion for her, reverence for her father, and terror of her bottomless need for love. Lucia retains both a sharp eye and her wicked sense of humor as she slips deeper into madness… Vivid characters collide in this intensely comic play, rendered in rich language and resonant with an eccentric, melancholy beauty.

The Laramie Project
by Moisés Kaufman
and the Members of Tectonic Theater Project
In October 1998, the brutal death of a young gay man in Laramie, Wyoming, shocked the country and became a national symbol of intolerance. But for the people of this Western town, the event was deeply personal. In the aftermath of Matthew Shepard's beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing him, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project journeyed to Laramie over the following year, "listening to the citizens talk." A breathtaking theatrical collage constructed from their interviews and the Tectonic's own experiences, The Laramie Project creates a profoundly moving exploration of the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

The company said is responding to requests from regular customers to offer cards that will encourage friends who just joined the unemployment line.
"A loss of a job, like any loss, is a grieving process," said Derek McCracken, creative director with the Hallmark Greeting Card Company, told NPR. "So that's where we kind of offer more cards on the, you'll get through this, versus dwelling on the loss of the job itself."
Many of the cards, featured on the Hallmark web site, offer words of support, and are often funny.
"When things are looking kinda gloomy, do what I do," one card reads. "Stare into the heavens, breathe deeply, and say…Give Me a %#!@$!! Break!!!"
Others are touching and offer a bit of sympathy.
"Thinking of you at this difficult time," one reads.
The cards are $3.49 and are available in stores and on Hallmark's website.

Do you know Jesus prayed for you? He did. Look at the 17th chapter of the book of John. He is praying for his disciples, the ones God gave Him to mentor, then verse 26 states, I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me because of their testimony. It's there, look it up and see what all He prayed for them, and us.
There is another time He prayed for a group of people. These were not even interested in Him except to get rid of Him. In fact, they were involved in crucifying Him. He was on the cross, yet His love bypassed all the physical and spiritual pain and He asked forgiveness for them. Luke 23:34, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
There is a song by a local musician that reflects on these words and this message which applies to everyone of us. We all need the forgiveness and we all need to realize, as much as possible, how he loves us.
Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.
Father, forgive them, they did the only thing they knew.
Father, forgive them,
I paid the price to set them free to follow Thee.
I broke the bonds of death
from sin to set them free.
I paid the price of sin
so they could let you in.
Oh I love them so!
I urge you to think about your response to this kind of love, this kind of God, this One who longs for your fellowship.
God, thank you that you "love us so." Thank you for all you did to provide forgiveness for us long before we even existed. Thank you for your prayers for us from so long ago. Thank you that you are still loving us and forgiving us.

Lovefilm has added a load of classic and new kids' TV shows, including Chuggington, Thomas and Friends, Fireman Sam and Pingu.
Two of the stars of shows like The State and Reno 911! stop by The 404 Show to talk to Jeff Bakalar about their new movie, Hell Baby, available on-demand now and hitting theaters September 6.
Two of the stars from shows such as "Reno 911!" and "The State" sit down with Jeff Bakalar to talk about their new film, "Hell Baby."
Judge Jackson ruled in 2000 that the tech titan was a monopoly that should be split in two before his removal from the case for "seriously tainting" proceedings.
The Minnesota woman who took on the recording industry over a $222,000 verdict for sharing copyrighted songs has to pay up.
Slated for release September 17, "Bleeding Edge" is set in 2001 in New York's Silicon Alley and deals with the time between the dot-com bubble bursting and 9/11.
The woman found liable for sharing 24 copyrighted songs on the Web asks the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her case due to "crippling statutory damages" of $222,000 awarded by an appeals court.
Chipmaker says departure of Seifert, who served as interim CEO last year, is not based on any financial turmoil inside the company.
An earlier version of this report incorrectly stated that Jammie Thomas-Rasset acknowledged pirating. A judge concluded that Thomas-Rasset had lied about the possibility that her boyfriend and children were the ones that illegally uploaded songs to the Web.
Kiwi Camara, one of Thomas-Rasset's attorneys, tells CNET his client will take the fight over the $222,000 she's been ordered to pay the RIAA "all the way" to the Supreme Court.

Facebook today announced a new Subscribe button for websites and publishers so that readers can follow a writer's public updates on Facebook.
Readers can subscribe with one click without leaving the third-party site. Then they'll get the public updates of that writer in their Facebook News Feed. The service is designed to increase interaction with writers and readers and draw more traffic to publisher websites.
Forbes is a launch partner for this service, along with others such as AllThingsD, HuffingtonPost and GQ. Readers can click on the "Subscribe" button at the top of this article to get my public updates on Facebook. Facebook previously announced the Subscribe feature for people to publicly share updates with those who are not Facebook friends.
As others pointed out, the subscribe feature has a viral quality, because once someone subscribes to a writer, that appears in their friends' News Feeds and they also often subscribe. Twitter, for example, doesn't post these subscribe actions into the main Twitter feed.
One feature I wish Facebook would add: the ability to post some updates just to public subscribers and some updates just to my Facebook friends. Then I wouldn't have to subject all of my "real" friends to my stream of articles.
You have real friends?
And why wouldnt your articles be so awesome that you wouldn't mind friends seeing them? (pardon the double negative)

Finding Your Phone, the Linux Way
My current setup is not perfect. The main problem is that if the phone is sitting somewhere not changing networks and not being used, it might be several hours before the low-battery warning event happens and the phone discovers it is lost. As soon as one of the cron alternatives is ready, I probably will switch to using that and have the phone check every half hour to see if it is lost.
Also, the scripts I've created so far are pretty rough. With some more hacking, this will improve. But even in their current state, although they may not guarantee I will recover my lost or stolen phone, they will give me a better chance.
Finally, I don't know if there's any way for me to prevent myself from setting my phone down and forgetting about it. As much as I tell myself it will not happen, I know that someday it will. Thanks to the openness of the N900, I can do things other phones can only dream about.

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.

LYON MOUNTAIN — A fire destroyed a single-family log cabin home here Saturday night.
Lyon Mountain Volunteer Fire Department responded to report of the blaze at 33 Power House Road shortly after 5 p.m. and arrived to find the structure fully involved in flames.
Mutual aid was immediately requested and received from Dannemora, Saranac and Ellenburg Center volunteer fire departments. Plattsburgh Air also provided assistance at the scene.
No one was injured in the fire, which was reported by a neighbor; however, four dogs perished in the blaze.
The small, two-story house was completely gutted by the flames and is a total loss, according to Jeff Greene, fourth assistant chief of the Lyon Mountain Volunteer Fire Department.
"It's completely destroyed," he said.
The fire originated in an addition off the side of the home, according to Greene, and it is believed to have been caused by a wood stove.
Firefighters remained at the scene fighting the blaze until 11 p.m. and were called back to the home at 12:15 a.m. Sunday to extinguish rekindling flames.
Though the fire department was back in service by 1 a.m., a second rekindle was reported at the location at 8 a.m. Sunday morning.
Greene said Lyon Mountain and Dannemora fire crews returned to the scene and found heavy smoke coming from the eaves that remained from the original fire.
The home was an older log cabin, he said, and "once that wood gets smoldering it's really difficult to get it out."
Firefighters tore the walls of the structure apart and sprayed foam on the area to extinguish what remained of the fire.
Greene said the Red Cross did offer assistance to the family who lived in the house; however, he is uncertain whether the help was accepted.
He was also unsure whether the home was insured. The names of the owners and occupants were not immediately available.
An investigation into the cause of the fire was completed Saturday night, Green said, and did not reveal anything suspicious.

The Democratic Victory Party at Mankato's City Center Hotel was full of smiley faces Tuesday night.
There were the yellow smiley faces plastered on the color portraits of the seven candidates local Democrats wanted to win -- from Barack Obama and Joe Biden to Tim Walz and Kathy Brynaert. By the time Brynaert had won her state House race, it was a clean sweep of smiley faces.
Then there were the smiles on the faces of the hundreds of Democrats watching the TV reports on the Obama victory, the success of Minnesota candidates, and the downfall of two constitutional amendments placed by Republicans on the Minnesota ballot.
The only question that remained late Tuesday night was whether the Minnesota Legislature would switch from Republican control to Democratic.
"I think it looks pretty good," said Sen. Kathy Sheran, DFL-Mankato, who was unopposed for re-election to a third term and was thinking ahead to what a DFL legislature could accomplish with DFL Gov. Mark Dayton. "... The chance to stabilize the revenue stream and have a method of being able to get out of crisis after crisis."
In Minnesota, the results were dismal for Republicans. Obama won the state by nearly 8 percentage points. U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar trounced Republican challenger Kurt Bills. Democrats won five of eight congressional races, including Mankato Congressman Tim Walz's 15-percentage-point win over Allen Quist.
There were the amendments -- to put a ban on gay marriage and new voter restrictions in the state constitution -- placed on the ballot by the Republican-controlled Legislature over near-unanimous Democratic opposition. Not only did voters reject the amendments, the ballot questions probably played a role in Republicans losing control of the state House and Senate -- a prize the GOP had won for the first time in 40 years just two years before.
"One thing we mis-guessed on was the amount of money and work that was going to go in to defeating them," said Rep. Tony Cornish, R-Good Thunder. "... I think the amendments were mostly responsible for (the legislative losses)."
Cornish was unopposed in winning a sixth term but was losing a committee chairmanship and a prime office as Democrats retook control of the House by a 73-61 margin after Republicans were in charge for two years with a 72-62 majority.
Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, whose district includes much of Blue Earth County, cruised to re-election to a fourth term, even as her party was going from a 37-30 majority in the Senate to a 28-39 minority.
Rosen thinks her party had real accomplishments to offer voters, including government reforms and reduced state spending. But that was lost amid the debate over the amendments and the sometimes-extreme agenda pushed by some Republican lawmakers following the 2010 landslide.
Were they too partisan? Too impatient in pushing too big of an agenda? Too acrimonious?
"All of the above," Rosen said. "... I think whenever a party goes way off to one side or another, you're always going to have an adjustment. I think the adjustment happened (Tuesday)."
On Friday night, House Republicans will be gathering for a meal in advance of a Saturday meeting to pick leaders of their caucus and discuss strategies for a comeback.
"It was supposed to be a victory party," Cornish said. "Now it's a dinner of defeat."
He agreed with Rosen that the Republican tidal wave of 2010 resulted in the election of some extremely conservative Republicans who tried to do too much too fast.
Cornish said it won't be pretty -- at Saturday's House Republican organizational meeting -- if anybody runs for a caucus leadership position by saying the party's Election Day defeat was because it wasn't adequately conservative.
"If anybody says we aren't to the right enough, I think I'm going to lose my lunch from the night before," he said.
The party needs to be both conservative and conciliatory, according to Cornish.
Rosen said that's the approach she's taken -- pragmatic and focused on problem-solving -- and that's led to three comfortable re-elections. It's also why Mankato-area lawmakers tend to survive wave elections.
"You make it a safe seat because of how you treat people," she said. "We kind of take care of ourselves out here. We have a problem: How are we going to fix it?"

"Extra" host Maria Menounos, an avid New England Patriots fan, makes good on her Super Bowl bet with her fellow show correspondent, Giants fan AJ Calloway and bares all in a New York Giants Bikini in Times Square.
You can say this about Maria Menounos, she isn't one to welch on a bet.
The "Extra" host and New England Patriots fan honored a bet she made with fellow correspondent A.J. Calloway by stripping down to a red white and blue bikini in the middle of Times Square in New York.
"I hate bets. I'm never doing this again." said Menounos. Calloway fired back with "God is a Giants fan!"
Menounos also had tongues wagging over the weekend, when she attended ESPN's Super Bowl party and was spotted getting cozy with Denver Broncos' quarterback Tim Tebow. The pair even "Tebow'd" together, prompting the QB to remark that it was the first time he'd ever done his signature knee drop with someone else.

New Credit Rules Could Hurt Stay-at-Home Moms
One unintended consequence of a proposed rule change leaves parents who stay at home without any good credit options.
Continuing a post-CARD Act trend of proactive regulation, the Federal Reserve recently proposed rules that, if adopted, would significantly improve the credit card application process. These rules would require banks to judge applicants for credit card offers based on their personal income rather than that of their household, as is currently the case, thereby making it far easier for issuers to judge who merits credit approval and, in turn, significantly decrease the likelihood of overleveraging.
[In Pictures: 10 Smart Ways to Improve Your Budget.]
The current credit card application system
As the rules currently stand, credit card companies evaluate prospective customers based on household income as well as individual debts and liabilities. This imbalance makes application transparency and truly educated credit attribution decisions nearly impossible to achieve for cohabitating adults because it distorts ability-to-pay considerations.
Imagine, for example, that two people—we'll call them A and B—apply independently for one of the credit cards for people with excellent credit. They both fill out applications, listing their household incomes and personal indebtedness, among many other things. They both have excellent credit scores. A has $50,000 in unsecured debt and $80,000 per year in household income. B too has $80,000 in household income but has no debt. To whom do you think the credit card company would decide to give credit?
B has more disposable income and is therefore the obvious choice on paper. However, unbeknownst to the credit issuer, A and B are a married couple with two young children. A earns the family's income and B is a stay-at-home parent. The two share A's wages as well as the obligation to make monthly payments towards A's debt. As a result, B does not actually have more disposable income than A and is not a better credit candidate. Still, B got approved for a credit card when A didn't. Obviously, the system as it currently exists is broken.
Implications of proposed Fed changes
The Fed's changes would undoubtedly improve the credit card application process by bestowing upon credit card companies an accurate sense of their applicants' financials situations. However, the proposal does have its flaws—the most significant of which being the burden it would place on stay-at-home parents.
[In Pictures: 12 Money Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes]
Concerns: How would these rules affect stay-at-home parents?
Most members of this demographic do not have independent income, meaning rules requiring that credit card companies only consider individually-earned money would largely shut off stay-at-home parents from credit. This would present a significant problem for such people if they got divorced or suffered the loss of a spouse because they would have no individual credit history and might therefore have a difficult time garnering a loan, landing a job or buying or renting either a house or an automobile.
Solutions: Joint credit card applications
Still, this issue should not result in the demise of the Fed's proposed rules. These rules simply have too much potential. That is why I propose that the adoption of the Fed's rules should be quickly followed by a requirement that credit card companies accept joint applications for credit cards, on which two individuals would both list their Social Security Numbers in addition to information about their incomes and assets as well as their debts and liabilities. This would allow couples joint-responsibility as well as the chance to build independent credit histories.
The best case scenario would be both of these measures taking effect. However, if the joint-application gets delayed or even amounts to nothing more than talk, it would not be the end of the world. The Fed's proposed rules will improve the credit card industry drastically, and stay-at-home parents can always use secured credit cards to build independent credit. Income is not a requirement for such a card; all one needs is cash for a security deposit and a valid Social Security number. Still, we should all hope for the best.

Peter Cohan, Contributor
I write about tech stocks and the startup economy.
Have you heard the latest rumor? Facebook could sell shares to the public in an IPO — valuing the social network from $75 billion to $100 billion — sometime between April and June. But there are four good reasons why this will be a non-event.
Even though I am not among its 800 million users, Facebook is profitable. It sells advertisements directed at those users and eMarketer estimates that between 2009 and 2011, Facebook's revenues grew at a 127% annual rate to $3.8 billion in 2011 with operating profit of $1.5 billion, according to BusinessInsider.
So why is one of history's biggest IPOs a non-event? Here are four reasons:
It is popular in the media to compare the Facebook IPO to that of Google whose price has risen nicely since its 2004 IPO from $84 to $580. That 30% compound annual growth is good – but Google trades 19% below its 2007 peak of $715.
To be fair, there is a bit of good news for those hoping that Facebook stock will climb after it goes public. A quick look at Google's 2004 prospectus reveals that its IPO price of $84 valued Google at a P/E of 80 – the same as Facebook's estimated P/E (Google had 271 million shares and estimated 2004 net income of $286 million at the time of its August 2004 IPO).
That's the only glimmer of good news for why Facebook's IPO might breathe some life into the business of VCs and tech entrepreneurs. But Facebook's inability to transform the way companies operate their business means that it will remain a niche phenomenon in the grander economic scheme.
That is absolutley the best response to any article or positioning I've read… Very well said!
Thank you, sir.
I think that Facebook's decision to set a $5B preliminary target for its IPO, in order to mitigate the pop effect, demonstrates that the company is serious about long term growth.
I certainly plan to take a close look at Facebook in the weeks and months ahead. The talent pool, the company's incredible pace of iteration, and high earnings potential, means that Facebook should not be discounted (and absolutely not deemed irrelevant).
Google was not over-valued. It was infact under valued using the Dutch Auction for its IPO. What happens is people submit a stock price and number of shares they want to purchase given their perception of Google's intrinstic value from a high value till the auction can't get any lower. Then Google sold all its stock at the lowest price that was bid by someone. A great model to leave enough steam in the stock so that it can have breathing room to grow in the immediate future whilst increasing/expanding market share and streamlining revenue streams. Facebook was more after inflating short-term profits than building long-term wealth creation for its shareholders.
Thumbs up to this response.
you say … "But Facebook's inability to transform the way companies operate their business means that it will remain a niche phenomenon in the grander economic scheme." – have to say that your comment makes you look stupid and myopic. Facebook is part of a larger trend of social where their spend will come from the decline in TV spend which will shift to social networks. Also selling data will be one of many new products. Cloud mobile and social infrastructures will change all corporate spend and with technologies like virtualization and faster networks cloud computing drive this new trend.
Happy to debate but to understand more go to
The market is driven by emotion more than fundamentals. P/E is irrelevant in that environment. Technicals are irrelevant because they represent the past which we all know is not indicative of future results (Read your prospectus.) Pump and dump techniques were crafted to drive emotion. Momentum investing is like surfing. Honest people find a good wave and ride it in. Others try to make the wave.
good view, and what about the clients? the users will remain loyal?
see this and judge
A lot of people are going to be very very irate at the end of todays trading schedule! The shares are priced at $38 which is already massively over priced… They will probably jump straight up to something like $50 in the first hour and loads of people will fly in thinking there is easy money to be had…
Trouble is by the end of the day the things will be worth far less than the original $38 as FB realises it's true market value. Not only that but they will be dropping further after the weekend.
So it's basically a very nasty accident waiting to happen in my eyes. Which is why I am saving my crazy play money for green energy or some other shot in the dark. At least that would make me feel good. Facebook is a cool company about to become very uncool – and that is why the value will plummet.
Put that together with privacy issues, a falling market, and users turning off in droves after their details being plundered by a now faceless Facebook corporation; and you have all the ingredients for a financial bubble burst.
Good luck anybody mad enough to own these things for more than the first few hours!!
Reasons why FacebookIPO is irrelevant. Facebook stock will need to see one or two quarters of financial reports before it will begin moving above recent high.
In the meantime small business should consider another meaning for FacebookIPO. Lets do some co-working online at Yahoo and search for the following unique search term, FacebookIPO: Facebook International Platform Opportunity.
That's the problem with Silicon Valley thought process. Mark Zuckerberg and his advisers had their minds set on making an instant killing that they forgot that a business venture is about creating long-term wealth for its shareholders; not short-term inflated profits. The fundamentals supporting the Facebook business model reached their peak and where weak. User growth picked in 2011, revenue peaked in 2011, click through rates for advertisements were much lesser compared to Google & other digital advertising platforms and no other major revenue sources besides selling advertisements and online applications. These signals of a weak revenue model for the foreseeable future were ignored by Facebook. It was blinded by its own success and milked out all value from its IPO leaving hardly enough steam to allow the stock to grow. A great lesson from Facebook indeed and making that lesson greater is to contrast Facebook's IPO with Google's Dutch Auction strategy valuing its IPO value at $1.6 billion and in 10 years that value has grown to $160 billion, or it grew 1000% in 10 years. The founders were wise enough to under value the stock so that leave it leaves enough momentum for continued future growth.

Amy Clark, a Senior Best Interest Attorney with the 12th Circuit Guardian ad Litem Program, has been advocating for the best interest of dependency children for the past 7 years. Part of her responsibility with the program is to help prepare new volunteers for their role in representing children.
Preparing to Become a Guardian ad Litem Volunteer.
You have heard the name Guardian ad Litem. You know that they help children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. You may have even thought of becoming one, but wonder if you have what it takes to stand up for a child. Well, the reality is that anyone who enjoys dealing with people and loves children -- mothers, fathers, teachers, nurses, waitresses, truck drivers, etc., -- has the ability to do right for a child. If you are willing then the Guardian ad Litem Program will do the rest to prepare you.
Before you ever meet a child or step into the court room you undergo 30 hours of training. This training consists of several different components that provide an overview of the entire dependency system. The goal of this training is to provide the volunteer with a comprehensive understanding of what a child has to go through once a call has been made to the child abuse hotline (1-800.-962-2873).
The four days of training occur regularly throughout the year in both Manatee and Sarasota counties. The training day runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a one-hour lunch break. The typical training day is divided into classroom discussions, hands on exercises, and professional guest speakers. The Guardian ad Litem Program requires the training to cover a variety of topics related to children in the dependency system. These topics include areas such as diversity, child development, substance abuse, education, and the court system.
Guest speakers are brought in to help cover these topics. The speakers come from the Department of Children and Families, Child Protection Center, Child Protection
Investigators and attorneys that represent both the State as well as the parents. The speakers are able to create a very real picture of what child abuse looks like in this community. They emphasize the need for every child in the dependency system to have a Guardian ad Litem.
The training also includes a field trip to court. The trainees attend a morning session in either Manatee or Sarasota County Dependency Court. They observe court hearings dealing with the families in the dependency system. This provides a tremendous amount of insight into what was just discussed in class.
Finally, on the last day of training, a panel of seasoned Guardians ad litem comes and speaks candidly with all the new volunteers. This is by far the best part of training. The new volunteers hear real stories from guardians that were once newbies in their seats. The new volunteers have the opportunity to ask questions and feel more reassured that they will be able to advocate for a child.
Rest assured the training does not end when the four days are over. Every new Guardian ad Litem is paired with a mentor and/or child advocate coordinator who can answer any questions or concerns the volunteer may have. In addition, the Guardian ad Litem Program provides on going training throughout the year for all the volunteers. The program strives to educate and train every volunteer to become the best advocate for each and every child caught in the dependency system.
For more information on future training please visit our web site at www.12gal.org or contact the Manatee Guardian ad Litem Office at 941-744-9473.

Co-author and long-term IBM Cognos consultant Ned Riaz states that he has "learned both from seasoned consultants, and from model developers and administrators, that one collective and concise 'refresher' guide on Cognos Planning, covering all programs and utilities, is always needed – especially when skills get rusty due to not using a specific functionality for a long period of time. I believe that my co-authors and I successfully satisfy our readers' needs. Although the IBM Cognos Planning documentation is great for a quick reference, I am able to share my real-world functional and technical experience with Cognos Planning in this book, and to point out when a reader should or should not use a specific product feature."
