As more and more families across America are affected by Alzheimer's disease, many teenagers as well are becoming aware of this heartbreaking brain disease - from personal experiences in their own families, watching friends and neighbors or involvement in community service.
Recognizing this, the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA), a national nonprofit organization, has created a division specifically for teens, AFA Teens. Its goals include raising awareness among teenagers and the general public about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias; providing education, counseling and support to young family members; enabling teens to share feelings with other teens and experts; and referring teens and their family members to supportive services.
In a further effort to provide an outlet for teenagers to think creatively about Alzheimer's disease and to engage the younger generation in this cause, AFA offers the AFA Teens Video Competition for teens ages 13 to 19. AFA will award $500 to the grand prize winner and $250 to the first runner-up. For more information on this scholarship and other scholarship opportunities, conduct a free scholarship search today!

The John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Essay Contest is the nation's most prestigious honor for elected public servants. The Award was created in 1989 by members of President Kennedy's family to honor President John F. Kennedy and recognize and celebrate the quality of political courage that he admired most.
The Profile in Courage Essay Contest invites high school students to consider the concept of political courage by writing an essay on a U.S. official who has chosen to do what is right, rather than what is expedient. A "Profile in Courage" essay is a carefully researched recounting of a story: the story of how an elected official risked his or her career to take a stand based on moral principles.
Students are asked to write an original and creative essay of less than 1,000 words that demonstrates an understanding of political courage as described by John F. Kennedy in "Profiles in Courage." Students should use a variety of sources such as newspaper articles, books, and/or personal interviews to address this year's essay topic.

With so much riding on whether or not you get in, applying for college can cause even the most confident students some serious anxiety. And with so many factors to consider like high school rankings, SAT/ACT scores, GPAs and community service hours, it's important to understand that more often than not, colleges are also factoring in a student's ability to pay...even when they say they're not. Insert outrage here.
Just last Friday, George Washington University's website claimed to evaluate applicants without considering their financial need (also known as a need-blind admissions approach) but now they're clarifying that policy: It now reads that while applications are first reviewed without consideration of need, "at the point of finalizing admissions decisions, we must balance a student's financial resources with the university's aid budget. This practice of being need-aware allows us to meet as much need of as many students as possible." Why the sudden transparency, GWU? Turns out that the school's new senior associate provost for enrollment management's recent interview with The GW Hatchet revealed that she characterized the university's policy as need-aware as opposed to need-blind. The problem? By being need-aware for years and suggesting otherwise, the university appears to not only have violated the Statement of Principles of Good Practice of the National Association for College Admission Counseling but encouraged low-income students to apply (and pay a hefty application fee!) on the false pretense that the university was need-blind. (For more on this story, click here.)
The ability to pay for college has long been a major factor when it comes to gaining admission but to blatantly advertise otherwise is undeniably uncool. What do you think of GWU's current predicament? Should the university face serious repercussions? Let us know in the comments section.

While the road to a college degree may include countless detours, it's essential to understand the importance of financial aid and filling out the FAFSA. But don't just take my word for it – President Obama agrees: Last week, the President announced an initiative that would encourage more students to apply for federal student aid.
Under the FAFSA Completion Initiative, the Department of Education will work with states to identify students who have not completed the form and employ new outreach efforts to help more students through the process. The White House said the effort would build on earlier steps by the Obama administration to simplify the form and make it easier for parents and student to use information from their tax returns to complete the paperwork. "We made it simple. It doesn't cost anything. It does not take a long time to fill out. Once you do, you're putting yourself in the running for all kinds of financial support for college," said President Obama.
For those of you that aren't familiar, the FAFSA (which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid) acts as a gateway between graduating seniors and almost $150 billion in grants, loans and work-study funds that the federal government has available. Funds do run out, though, so we recommend filling out the FAFSA as early as possible. Have you filled out the FAFSA? Let us know how it went in the comments section. If you haven't done so yet, review our financial aid section for some tips.

This year, The National WWII Museum asks: How did you plan to achieve success in the face of the unknown?
On June 6, 2014 the world will celebrate the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion to liberate Europe from Nazi rule. To commemorate the importance of this event, The National WWII Museum asks you to think about a time in your life where you have had to make important plans for success in spite of uncertainty.
For your essay, think about a time when you've had to plan for something important in your future. How did you plan to achieve success in the face of the unknown? How did you handle any challenges to reach your goal? How does your story connect to those of other people, past and present, who have had to face and overcome tremendous odds to obtain their goal? Use WWII as a starting point and base your essay in part on America's involvement in WWII. But don't stop in the past. Use specific examples from your own experiences that support your ideas. This is not a research paper. Your essay will be judged foremost for its originality, clarity of expression, and adherence to contest theme, as well as its historical accuracy, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The National WWII Museum staff will read and evaluate entries.
The National WWII Museum is accepting entries through March 28th. If you are interested in learning more about this or other scholarship opportunities, conduct a free scholarship search today!

Figuring out how you're going to pay for your college education can be daunting. And while no one would argue that filling out the FAFSA is an important piece of the financial aid puzzle, it seems that some colleges might be making the process more complicated...and costly.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland alleged this week that more than 100 universities – including dozens of elite and Ivy League institutions – may be violating the law by telling potential applicants that they have to spend money filling out an unnecessary form. In a letter to U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Cummings said 111 universities required a financial aid form developed by the College Board to be considered for any financial aid. Fifty-eight of the schools told applicants that they had to submit the $25 PROFILE form "in order to secure any type of financial aid, including federal student aid," Cummings wrote. The other 53 directed applicants to "submit both the FAFSA and the PROFILE to obtain federal financial aid, although they do not clarify what each form is used to assess." And while Cummings insists that these schools appear to be in violation of the Higher Education Act, some college officials have defended their use of PROFILE, stating that because it takes into account factors the FAFSA doesn't — like home equity and some business income — it allows universities to make fairer decisions on who needs aid the most. Meanwhile, Cummings has requested a meeting with Duncan to figure out what steps need to be taken to ensure that colleges are not creating unnecessary barriers to federal assistance. (For more on this story, click here.)
With all the outrageous fees students already must endure, what do you think of universities adding an additional one? Are you for filling out a form that costs you $25 if there is a chance you might get additional aid or against forking up more money than necessary? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Figuring out the bottom line when it comes to the cost of your college education is definitely a stressful part of the process. With everything that goes into determining your financial aid package (your parents' income, your earnings and your family's net assets), it's important to understand that merit aid – aid based on a student's attributes (academics, athletics, extracurriculars, etc.) – is available to student regardless of their "need." New federal rules are blurring the distinction between scholarships awarded on merit and grants awarded because of a student's financial need – for instance, a growing number of colleges now award "need-based" aid to students from families earning six figures! Who would have thunk it?! So, we've compiled a few helpful tips to maximize your chances for merit aid and increase your overall financial aid package.

The restaurant is distinctly Italian, serving the authentic Northern Italian cuisine. Chef Luigi Bomparola is known as a master of the rotisserie and grill, but I found his seafood dish, which was almost like a soup, quite delightful (don't ask me what it's called). He complements the meal with freshly baked breads from Il Fornaio's nearby bakery and a list of Canaletto's distinctive vintage.
Although I could not speak for all the waiters, the one who served my table was truly enthusiastic about the chef and the food he prepared. He could ramble on and name various dishes as well as the places of their origin and what made them special. The wine he recommended was the closest anyone has ever matched my taste buds.
The restaurant is open from 11:30am to late evening hours. It does not get extremely crowded but if you have an important date to please, a reservation may be a wise thing.

Looking at Stanley Ketchel's record one sees victories over some good middleweight contenders- Joe Thomas, Hugo Kelly, The Twin Sullivans- and title claimant Billy Papke. But I am of the opinion that Ketchel died just as one of the division's "Golden Eras" was taking shape. While the aforementioned battlers were good(or, in Papke's case, VERY good) you would be hard pressed to compare them to the veritable avalanche of excellent middleweights of the post-Ketchel era(though Langford and Klaus were ranked during SK's reign).
Here's a list of the top 10:
Sam Langford
Mike Gibbons
Jack Dillon
Frank Klaus
Georges Carpentier
Les Darcy
Jeff Smith
Jimmy Clabby
Eddie McGoorty
George Chip
I have my ideas on how Ketchel would have fared against these guys, which I'll post later. How do you folks think he would have done? Would he have remained champion for many more years or would he have been dethroned by one of these gents?
Looking forward to reading what you all have to say.

Clippers' Blake Griffin (ankle) forced from action in Game 5 loss, status uncertain
Blake Griffin suffered a high right ankle sprain during practice on Monday and was forced from action early during the Clippers' 103-93 loss in Game 5 to the Grizzlies on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.
Although Griffin took his usual place in the starting lineup, coach Vinny Del Negro pulled his All-Star forward from the game for good with 5:39 remaining in the third quarter. Griffin finished with four points (on two-for-seven shooting), five rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes. Del Negro told reporters after the game that he does not yet know how well Griffin will be able to play in Game 6, set for Memphis on Friday.
"We'll see," Del Negro said. "It's just an unfortunate thing that happened [Monday]."
The Orange County Register reported that Griffin's ankle was "really swollen and purple" after the game. Griffin was transported on a cart both before and after Tuesday night's game.
Del Negro explained that Griffin suffered the injury during a "half-speed" drill for posts players when his right foot came down on Lamar Odom's foot.
"Freak accident," Del Negro said. "It was pretty bad. I give Blake a lot of credit, he's got a lot of swelling in there. Therapy all night, therapy all day, battled through it. He had came out in limited minutes, a couple of baskets, five assists, five rebounds, he was active. As the game went on, it just got fatigued and sore and worse and worse. You could see in the third [quarter] that he was struggling to move a little bit and that's when I just pulled the plug on that. It just didn't make sense. I really wanted to protect him."
Griffin, who was selected to his third All-Star Game in February, made 80 appearances this season. Game 6 now represents a win-or-go-home fork in the road for the Clippers, who trail the Grizzlies 3-2 after Tuesday.
"I know how hard he's worked and it's unfortunate timing," Del Negro said.
Griffin, 24, averaged 18 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game this year.
"You can't just replace Blake Griffin with one person," Clippers All-Star guard Chris Paul said, after putting up a game-high 35 points, six rebounds and four assists in 42 minutes. "It's going to have to be by committee. … He tried to give it a go, as we all knew he would. But what can you do?"
Memphis was led by 25 points and 11 rebounds from Zach Randolph and 21 points and eight rebounds from Marc Gasol.

FORTUNE – Roger Bootle prides himself on being something of a modern-day Nostradamus -- with good reason. In 1999 the British economist predicted a bursting of the dotcom bubble, and in his 2003 book, Money for Nothing, he forecast a worldwide crash in housing that would prove dire for the financial system. A rigorous student of markets, Bootle, 60, is a onetime Oxford don and chief economist for HSBC (HBC) who now runs Capital Economics, a London consulting firm. Operating out of a 19th-century Victorian townhouse near Buckingham Palace, the bald, bespectacled son of a civil servant confidently advises major banks and hedge funds from New York to Beijing. But away from the office he isn't much of a risk-taker. Bootle likes to unwind at England's famous Ascot Racecourse, where he wagers no more than "five or 10 quid just so I have a horse to cheer home."
Today Bootle is betting his professional reputation on another bold contrarian call, one with long-term ramifications for the world economy and global stock markets: He strongly believes that at least a partial breakup of the eurozone is inevitable and that massive changes are coming for the euro, the currency now shared by 17 nations accounting for one-eighth of world GDP.
In July, Bootle and his team won the prestigious Wolfson Economics Prize for providing the best answer to the following question: "If member states leave the Economic and Monetary Union, what is the best way for the economic process to be managed?" In a 114-page report, "Leaving the Euro: A Practical Guide," Bootle delivered a blueprint for the steps a nation should take in exiting the common currency. He also went further, summoning a powerful argument for why an exodus of weak countries is the only solution for Europe's deep malaise.
MORE: Two legendary economists square off over the euro
Bootle is not shy about championing his highly unpopular view. "The euro is a depression-making machine," he tells Fortune. "The politicians keep throwing money to support the weaker nations' debt problem. They never talk about restoring growth. Far from a disaster, a breakup of the euro is the only way to bring back growth and get Europe out of this mess. It can't happen soon enough."
Policymakers continue to take a diametrically opposite approach. Almost without exception, Europe's political leaders and regulators strongly back the euro's survival and generally claim that a breakup would bring economic Armageddon. Optimism that the eurozone will hold rose on Sept. 6, when Mario Draghi, chief of the European Central Bank, announced a giant program for purchasing the sovereign debt of weak eurozone nations. Draghi further stated that "the euro is irreversible." Then, on Sept. 12, a German court approved the country's participation in the European Stability Mechanism, a rescue fund with a lending capacity of $645 billion. Over five trading sessions, the S&P 500 jumped 2.4% in a potent relief rally.
But the continued bailouts are just buying time. Even economists who dread a euro breakup admit that it will probably happen eventually unless Germany and other healthy nations provide far greater support to their weak neighbors. "Europe needs to create federal-style debt shared by all the eurozone members," says Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis. "If that doesn't happen, the eurozone will probably dissolve."
The bet here is that Bootle is right and that the euro will fracture in the next few years. The result will be extremely messy in the immediate aftermath, bringing severe hardship to the exiting countries -- a rash of bankruptcies, giant defaults on sovereign debt, and temporary panic in world stock markets. But the pain that a breakup compresses into a one-time shock will happen anyway if weak nations remain in the euro. It will simply stretch over a number of years and turn out far worse. As Bootle argues, Europe must choose growth, and a split in the euro will bring it back with surprising speed. Let's use his report as a guide for how a successful breakup could play out.
The continent's weaker nations can't possibly solve their two big problems if they remain in the common currency. The first problem is the one the politicians and regulators talk about most: the huge overhang of sovereign debt, exceeding 100% of GDP in nations such as Greece and Italy. But the second is even more important. Europe's PIIGS -- Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain -- all suffer from a drastic loss of competitiveness because they face an excessive cost of production, especially compared with Germany. That disparity has decimated manufacturers in Spain and Italy struggling to compete with imports.
MORE: The most powerful women in the global economy
The competitiveness gap was a decade in the making. Its main source is the shocking divergence in labor costs between Europe's two tiers, which we'll call the "core" and "peripheral" nations. From 1999 to 2011, unit labor costs -- the wages and benefits required to produce a car or computer -- rose 4.3% a year in Spain, 3.4% in Italy, and 4.1% in Ireland, compared with a 0.9% annual increase in Germany. That leaves the peripheral countries with a competitiveness gap of 30% to 40% vs. the core nations, by Bootle's estimate. As a result, Italy's exports as a share of the world total dropped from 5% in the late 1990s to about 2% last year.
If they remain in the euro, peripheral countries must solve their competitiveness problem through austerity -- by letting high unemployment grind down wages, by raising taxes, and by slashing government spending. "That process could take 10 years," says Bootle. Worse, their debt and interest payments would remain in euros and keep rising, while tax receipts fall. It would be nearly impossible for those nations to default on their debt and stay in the eurozone. "The ECB has been supporting the banks in weak countries," says Charles Goodhart of the London School of Economics. "The collateral is largely their sovereign bonds. If they default, all aid to the banks would cease, causing their collapse."
An immediate exit could solve both the debt and the competitiveness problems in a single stroke. Bootle believes it's likely that peripheral countries will begin to split off one by one. In his study, he concludes that although the legality of an exit is fuzzy, it can be justified under international law as essential to a country's economic survival. Nor would it require approval of Parliament prior to departure. That's important, given the need for secrecy.
Here's how the mechanics might work if, say, Spain decided to withdraw. The government would announce the decision on a Friday, shortly after the Prime Minister and cabinet reached the decision. It would state that by 12:01 a.m. Monday all wages, bank deposits, pensions, and prices would be reset in pesetas at a 1-to-1 ratio with the euro. Over the weekend, all ATMs and bank branches would be closed and no electronic transfers allowed, to prevent citizens from moving money to, say, Switzerland before the conversion. Bootle recommends that departing nations start printing notes and coins only after the announcement. In the interim all transactions would be via credit or prepaid cash cards. Euros would also be accepted for cash purposes for a fixed period. Starting on Monday morning, the euro would make its debut as a foreign currency. Its value would rise sharply against the new peseta. So a taxi fare priced at two pesetas might go for just one euro within days.
How about the debt issue? Bootle advises nations to re-denominate all sovereign bonds in local currency. The re-denomination really amounts to a default, since the foreign creditors would take big losses. Bootle advocates going further. He wants exiting nations to immediately cease all interest payments and demand a write-down bringing debt to a manageable 60% of GDP. Between the devaluation and the write-down, most creditors would lose 70% of the face value of the bonds. Bootle's argument is that their original value is a pure fiction anyway and a default of that magnitude is inevitable.
As for the private sector, Bootle recommends re-denominating loans to the stricken banks in the local currency. Otherwise, their capital, and all domestic lending, would evaporate. For corporations, loans would remain in euros. Naturally, a multitude of companies would be unable to service their debt with revenues in local currencies now worth far less in euros. This is perhaps the most difficult part of a euro exit. Bankruptcies would proliferate, and lenders would engage in negotiations for restructuring debt.
MORE: The world's largest economies by rank
Bootle doesn't foresee the core countries abandoning the euro. In fact, he predicts that Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and other Northern European nations will maintain the euro in their own single-currency zone -- an outcome that would be likely to cause the euro to strengthen over time against the dollar and the pound sterling.
An exit would bring a surge in inflation in newly departed countries as the cost of imports rose. Hence, wages would also rise, though less than prices because of the big pool of unemployed workers. As a result, Bootle calculates, a large drop in the value of the new currencies against the euro would be necessary: The Greek currency would need to fall 55%, those of Spain and Italy 40%, and the new Irish pound by 25%.
The departing nations would suffer several months of declining growth and rising unemployment. World stock markets would swoon. But just as occurred in Argentina after its currency was devalued a decade ago, the economies would start growing again within a year, driven by strength in exports. Germany would suffer from a far higher, properly valued currency that would hurt its exports. But it would also benefit from lower import prices and growing, rather than failing, neighbors to the south.
For Bootle, it's fundamental economics that will ultimately dictate the outcome. "I'm regarded as a pain in the neck and a party pooper," says Bootle. "But the truth is that the politicians have it totally wrong. They waffle and get lots of money from the public sector to buy time, but the markets win in the end." For Europe, abandoning the single currency is no longer an unthinkable choice, but the right choice.

*In the midst of 38 4000
Balmenhorn (4,167 m a.s.l.)
Is Zermatt surrounded by 38 4,000-metre summits or only 29? On the Balmenhorn, you will learn that it's not so easy to make your mind up. This 4,167-metre high summit of the Balmenhorn lies on the Italian side of the Monte Rosa Massif, which has nine clearly defined peaks. The Balmenhorn is on the list of the so-called extended 4,000-metre summits. And that's no wonder: this block of rock only has a topographic height of 12 metres, can be climbed using a secured path and is difficult to optically differentiate from the many fissures of the Lys Glacier. According to the determinations of the UIAA (the International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation), there are (1) topographical reasons, (2) morphological reasons and (3) climbing reasons for considering a mountain to be a "real" 4,000-metre summit. But the Balmenhorn is a little 4,000-like – the height alone is enough!
Origin of the name
"Balmen" are overhangs at the foot of a rock face, and Balme is also the name of a town at the very end of the Val d'Ala, in the Province of Piedmont, to where the Turin society travelled to find summer freshness in the 19th Century. It is highly probable that it originates from a word from the Valais dialect.
4,167 m a.s.l.
First climbed
17th August 1873 (disputed)
First climbed by
Marco Maglioni and Albert de Rotschild, with Niklaus Knubel, Peter Knubel and Edouard Coupelin (disputed)
Stories / legends
It is thanks to a four-metre high bronze statue weighing a ton that the rather inconspicuous Balmenhorn has achieved an extended importance that is neither topographical, morphological nor alpinistic in origin. It was the firm base of this summit that caused the Turin artist and partisan leader Alfredo Bai to place his statue, created from war scrap, on the Balmenhorn. During the Second World War, Bai made a vow to place a statue on one of the 4,000-metre summits as a symbol of peace, in memory of all the victims, irrespective of their nationality. The transport of the Christ statue, called "Christo delle Vette" ("Christ of the Summit") and which was dismantled into eleven parts, was carried out by 35 mountain soldiers originating from all the provinces of Italy. The Peace Christ, the material for which was donated by none other than the Italian Ministry of Defence, was unveiled in a solemn ritual on the 4th September 1955.
In the partner city of the municipality at the foot of the Monte Rosa, however, the statue of Christ of the Abyss was set up on the sea bed in the Bay of San Fruttuoso in 1954.
This project was inspired by Duilio Marcante, who had the statue erected in memory of Dario Gonzatti, who died in a diving accident in 1950. With the help of the Italian navy, the statue was lowered to the seabed at a depth of 17 metres close to the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, between Camogli and Portofino, on the 22nd August 1954.

D.B. Sweeney Trashes Robert Pattinson, Battles with Twihards in Random Twitter Rantby Hilton Hater at .
D.B. Sweeney might have a (Twi)hard time making money at the box office going forward.
The actor got into it over Twitter with a number of young movie fans this week after he inserted himself into the ongoing Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart saga. Wrote Sweeney:
"Just saw Pattinson on #DailyShow trying to figure out what took k-stew so long to look around with this douche astride her. #holytwit."
As you might expect, Pattinson's followers quickly came to the star's defense.
"Don't talk sh--t about the greatness which is Rob when your credentials can't even match his," replied one, while another was even more direct in addressing Sweeney: "I hate you. Do not mess with Rob."
But Sweeney - who actually stars in K-11, which was directed by Stewart's mother, Jules - didn't back down. He Tweeted twice more:
"Hey #twilight genuises--try decaf! A little too worked up over a skinny vampire.... Nice language twi-hards. Or should i say tards? Love the inchoate indignation."
And we love your decision to pick on a fan base half your age, D.B., along with an actor whose heart was just broken.

Sweeney you should of never mad a comment about Rob. If you have every been in true love and you were cheated on you would know how it feels to be hurt that way. Rob did nothing wrong, he loved her very much. You do not have the right to judge him or anyone. It's not that we are twihards it is that we have feeling for people.

Earlier this month the Violence Policy Center in Washington DC released its latest study which found that for the 3rd year in a row Nevada again leads the nation statistically in the rate of female homicides. Of those homicides well over half were committed in instances of domestic abuse.
ScrapDV wants to highlight and bring attention to the problem of domestic abuse within Nevada and get people talking about it. There are wonderful resources for victims of abuse and many sufferers don't know the programs actually exist and are unclear of where they can turn for help. "Our goal is to see that every member of every community knows where they can go and who they can call. We also want people to know where they can donate and volunteer. Saying NO MORE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE requires people to KNOW MORE and talk about it. We can end domestic abuse in Nevada if we work together" JoAnn Casalez, Executive Director of ScrapDV.
"I applaud the efforts of ScrapDV, which is working with all domestic violence agencies in Nevada to assist in providing funding for much needed projects that increase awareness of the problems caused by domestic violence," said Nevada Attorney Catherine Cortez Masto. "This educational awareness program, No More, Know More, will get people talking about abuse, which is the first step in reducing domestic violence."
ScrapDV's mission is two-fold. To create proactive awareness on the effects of domestic abuse within Nevada, where the domestic violence homicide rate is twice the national average, while reactively funding, through grants, domestic abuse programs and shelters within the state. ScrapDV funds programs whose primary focus are victims of domestic violence. Each program they fund helps improve facilities and services that encourage survivors to reach their fullest potential and achieve self-sufficiency through encouragement, case management, accountability, awareness and trust in a positive and secure environment.
As an organization, ScrapDV actively seeks funding within the mining industry. The goal is to proactively partner with mines based in Nevada and the surrounding areas to take donations of their discarded scrap metals which in turn can be recycled for cash revenue for ScrapDV to use in the campaign to end domestic violence within Nevada.
If you or someone you know is seeking assistance call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-888-799-SAFE. For more information about ScrapDV please log on to www.ScrapDV.org, or visit www.Facebook.com/ScrapDV or www.Twitter.com/ScrapDV.

An Article Writer Turned SEO Specialist – A Freelance Job Promotion
A lot has already been said about how advantageous it is to be in the freelance job industry. Working at the comforts of your home and earning an attractive pay are some of the most famed benefits of being able to work home based. We are living proofs of this fortune in freelancing— and we hope you are, too.
Looking back when we're all still at the starting point of our careers, it can't be denied that we have had faced our own share of risks— scammers, clients who would not pay and relatively below industry standard rates to name a few. We have learned to overcome all of these and are now at the turning point of our careers. However, another risk is left to be faced– and we are sure that at one point of your freelance career, you've come to ask yourself this: Where am I to go from here?
Admit it, no matter how good freelance jobs are, they still lack some of the offers that traditional jobs have. One of this is promotion. Well, without a regular employer, how can such be possible? The alarming fact about this is that we are all brought up to think of becoming CEO's someday! We are thought to be competitive and to climb up the corporate ladder. Needless to say, sooner or later, a feeling of dissatisfaction will settle within us, which will eventually leave us unhappy and discontented with our freelance jobs.
We have given this a thought for quite some time and we are glad to tell you that there is hope. You need not be left to be a freelancer for long. An invisible corporate ladder is available for you to take advantage of.
Let us explain the concept through this scenario;
Assuming you are a freelance writer. You have your regular gigs from your trusted freelance job website and you are considerably at the peak of your career. However, despite this success, you feel all tired and weary of doing the same job over and over again. Routine is killing you, but you can't just simply leave your freelance job. What can you do?
Supposing this scenario is true, there's really not a need to fret. As a freelancer, you are not only given the flexibility on work hours but a wide variety of options, too! Digging deeper into the world of SEO and establishing a career as an SEO specialist is a very good opportunity. After all, if you already have a knack with words, you might as well use it to your own and your client's advantage by upping your knowledge about how you can make you content a certified king by ranking them well on search engines . Consider this as a promotion from being an article writer to an SEO specialist. Not only will it change your routine and make your freelance job more exciting, but it will also make you feel good about yourself because of your ability to level your skills up to meet more freelance job needs.
This scenario is not at all to suggest that you take a sudden shift. This is simple a demonstration of the tremendous options most freelance jobs has to offer. Finally, a promotion does not only apply to article writers— how does becoming an internet marketer from being a savvy internet provider sound to you? This is also possible. After all, it is not really about who you know, but what you know that will take you to the top in the freelance job industry. Too bad it is often the other way around for traditional jobs—another reason to celebrate your being a freelancer.
Happy Freelancing!

What are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts (also called growths) are fluid-filled sac-like structures that can form in, on or near the ovaries. They commonly affect women in their reproductive years, particularly between the ages of 20 and 35. Women who suffer from endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease or bulimia and take the epilepsy drug, Valporate tend to be more susceptible to ovarian cysts.
There are two walnut-sized organs called ovaries found on either side of the uterus, under the fallopian or uterine tubes. Every month, women of reproductive age produce a small cyst known as a follicle. A follicle is the normal fluid-filled sac that contains an egg that is released during ovulation around day 14 of the menstrual cycle.

NFL's projected 2014 salary cap expected to approach $130 million, per report
INDIANAPOLIS — The NFL salary cap for next season is now expected to sit near $130 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday. That's a five percent bump from last year's $123 million total and up more than $3 million from earlier projections, which set the 2014 cap at $126.3 million.
The news is particularly important for those teams that currently find themselves a little cash-strapped headed into free agency. The Chargers, Lions, Steelers, Saints and Cowboys all began the offseason over that $126.3 million line; all but the Cowboys and Steelers should now be clear of that projected line.
There still will be cuts ahead of the open of free agency on March 11. Right now, the NFL is in the franchise tag window — teams have until March 3 to hit their impending free agents with either the franchise or transition tag. A higher cap would not impact those financial decisions at all, though it could impact the price tag on free agents, both restricted and unrestricted.
The anticipated salary cap move is of little consequence to the draft prospects taking the field here this week for the league's scouting combine. Because of the rookie wage scale put into place after the lockout in 2011, the days of top picks commanding outrageous guaranteed-money contracts are over. The 2013 No. 1 overall pick, Kansas City's Eric Fisher, signed a four-year deal worth a fully guaranteed $22.19 million. By comparison, the No. 1 pick in 2010, St. Louis' Sam Bradford, inked a contract of $78 million over six years with $50 million guaranteed.
I wonder if NFL players look with envy at baseball, where teams carry a roster of 25 players, yet many teams are spending close to $200 million on player salaries. Fully guaranteed salaries to boot. In a sport where permanent physical and mental damage is not virtually guaranteed. The NFL players need to look long and hard at their union and reps.
Braking report for today, Friday Feb. 18th, 2032...
NFL announces new salary cap for each team for the 2033 season has just inched over the $1 Billion dollar plateau...
Roger Goodell II was paid $432 million for the 2032 season... The league also paid Roger Goodell SR. his usual $75 million consulting deal...
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius Panthers/Bucs out-drew a World Series game... that's all we need to know about MLB vs NFL.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius Sure, of course, who wouldn't. Then again, guys play football because they love it, not because it makes them the most money, otherwise, they'd be playing baseball.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius If the salaries were guaranteed, you would see lower salaries across the board.
@Sportsfan18 on the contrary, in 2033, the popularity of NFL will be at an all time low.
just trust me on this.
.... and the "fans" of the game now pay $50 per game pay-per-view during the season and $500.00 for the playoffs.
@WarrenSappSucked @Sportsfan18 Agreed. Fewer and fewer kids will be playing football EVERY year and Northwestern/Unions turned college sports upside down. Now there's only two, 10 team conferences playing college football as the rest of them would not pay players because they'd have to pay every college athlete at the school.

How to boost your AdSense revenue
Google's AdSense is a superb revenue generating opportunity for small, medium and large websites.
Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense ads. (It's against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense ads, so you'll want to include a few affiliate links or sell your own product, too.)
Here's the background info, from Google:
AdSense overview
AdSense Help Center
AdSense policies
Google's Inside AdSense blog
AdSense allows you to serve text-based Google ads - and/or image ads - on your website and receive a share of the pay-per-click payment. AdSense text ads are similar to the AdWords ads you see on the right-hand side at Google when you do a search there. You can choose from a variety of ads sizes and choose whether or not you want to display image ads.
It's often much easier to generate revenue from AdSense than from an affiliate program, especially if you don't like selling.
AdSense's advantages
AdSense is simple to join.
It's easy to paste a bit of code into your pages.
It's free to join.
You don't have to spend time finding advertisers.
Google provides well written, usually highly relevant ads - automatically chosen to closely match the content on your pages.
You don't have to waste time choosing different ads for different pages.
You don't have to mess around with different code for various affiliate programs.
You're free to concentrate on providing good content and Google does the work of finding the best ads for your pages from a massive number of AdWords advertisers.
It's suitable for beginners or marketing veterans.
AdSense provides simple, easy-to-understand stats.
If you have affiliate links on your site, you ARE allowed to add AdSense ads. However, with your affiliate links or other ads, you must not mimic the look and feel of the Google ads.
You can filter URLs, so you can block ads for sites that don't meet your standards. You can also block strong competitors.
Inevitably, AdSense is competing strongly for space on web sites with all other revenue sharing opportunities.
If you own a small website you can plug a bit of AdSense code into your site and almost instantly relevant text ads that are likely to appeal to your visitors will appear on your pages.
If you own several sites, you need apply only once. This makes AdSense much simpler than joining a bunch of affiliate programs.
To earn revenue, you don't have to make a sale. All you have to do is get the click.
As you can see, I'm really keen on this revenue sharing service.
The stats Google supplies are inadequate. They're easy to understand at a glance. However, they don't tell you exactly which ads people are clicking on, or which keywords are involved in getting those clicks. That's frustrating.
Also, I'd like to be able to identify and block ads that have very low payout rates, without doing a lot of sleuthing and messing around.
The minimum payout is $100, which is regarded as too high by newcomers. This won't worry experienced webmasters.
Another disadvantage is that Google doesn't allow you to share your stats with other webmasters. The AdSense Terms and Conditions say:
"Confidentiality. You agree not to disclose Google Confidential Information without Google's prior written consent. 'Google Confidential Information' includes without limitation: ... (b) click-through rates or other statistics relating to Site performance in the Program provided to you by Google..."
That's weird. Website owners need to be able to share such information and openly discuss successes and failures.
Another disadvantage is that Google doesn't say how much its AdSense partners will receive. You'll just receive an unknown portion of the amount advertisers pay.
Only a company with the goodwill and respect Google has earned could get away with such a cheeky offer.
So the only way to know how much you'll earn is to try it and see. If you want to bail out, all you have to do is remove the code from your site.
However, I can tell you after several years of using AdSense (more about that and more AdSense tips later) the strong advantages heavily outweigh any disadvantages.
Don't put all your eggs in the AdSense basket. If Google discovers fraudulent clicks on ads appearing on your pages, it can dump your site from the service, and refuse to pay you all revenue owed. Some webmasters who claim total innocence have had this happen to them.
Since AdSense was launched, Google has made several changes to its AdSense FAQ (now Help Center), clarifying various things. For example, Google now says you are not allowed to own several accounts with the funds going to one payee.
AdSense Channels
Some time after the launch of AdSense, Google added "channels" which improve the tracking of results.
I strongly recommend you experiment with AdSense channels. For example, you can create a channel for your ads displayed at the top of your pages and compare the click-throughs and revenue with those of ads at the bottom of pages. You'll find that ads published high on the page usually earn more revenue than ads placed lower down.
You can create channels for different sections of a site, or for different websites.
For can even create a channel for one specific page. Doing this can teach you that a specific page is earning 10 times or 20 times the revenue of another page. Now THAT'S worth knowing! You might want to direct a few more links to that page, and perhaps write more articles on that particular topic.
I've heard that sites containing "excessive advertising" are being rejected.
PLEASE read the AdSense rules. If in any doubt, ask their support staff. They're very helpful.

[Perhaps I'm missing something, but here's how I see it. The more pages a visitor visits, the more chance you have that the visitor will click on an AdSense ad. Therefore, it's useful to take page views into account.
Which of the following sites is more likely to give you higher AdSense revenue:
2,000 visitors and 4,000 page views?
2,000 visitors and 12,000 page views?
I don't claim to be a mathematician, but I'd put my money on the site getting 12,000 page views. Allan.]
thanks this helped me a lot with cidpusa.org awesome
Hey John used that guide you posted as well as this one and it really helped. Thanks for the heads up.
One of the best way to boost your Adsense Revenue is by translating your website in 11 languages. This way you will multiply your content by 11, receive visitor from everywhere in the world and boost your Revenue dramatically. You can do it in 5 minutes here www.websitestranslator.com
[Sounds odd. You could contact AdSense and ask about it. This would be a good topic to discuss in the AdSense section of our affiliate forum. However, my approach to little oddities like this is to think, "That's odd," and immediately move on. Instead of worrying about this, your time would be better spent adding quality content to your site and getting high quality links to your site. Allan.]
[What you're advocating is theft - stealing from advertisers who pay for the ads which appear on the AdSense network of sites. We don't help AdSense thieves here. Fortunately, the site you recommend has disappeared. Allan.]
Best regards,
[It appears to be a one-page website. It's a major challenge getting a one-page site ranked well in search engines. I suggest you add a couple of hundred pages of good, useful content and get good links to the site. If you want a site review, the best place to ask for one is in the Site Review section of our affiliate forum. Allan.]
Hugs -- Jenny
Thank you
[If you type "adsense competitors" or "adsense alternatives" into the search box at the top of this page you'll find some. (Don't use quotation marks.) Allan.]
[Remember that there are two sides to this. You need good content, and also good links from related sites. Keep working on both. Allan.]
[Perhaps you can think of ways of making the site more attractive to a wider audience. Allan.]
[ Some companies don't want to have affiliates under a certain age. Google says you have to be at least 18 to join AdSense. Young affiliates aften get around this problem by partnering with a parent, older brother, or older friend, and doing everything in that person's name. Obviously, it needs to be someone you're sure you can trust. If you place AdSense ads on your site, that does not affect your website rankings. AdSense ad impressions and clicks on AdSense ads are part of the massive amount of data Google collects which helps make it a powerful, extremely well informed company. Allan.]
With best wishes.
Kind regards,
Altaf (Dr.)
[It's difficult to give advice if I don't know what you're doing wrong with AdSense. Perhaps you're simply not getting enough traffic, or perhaps there are less obvious reasons for your lack of success. One thing you could do is go to our affiliate forum and ask for a site review in the Site Review section. The forum has many friendly, helpful members. Allan.]

[There's no simple answer because it depends on a large number of factors, the three main ones being your niche, the keywords you've targeted and your placement of ads on the page. Allan.]
[Raphael, publishing your email address online is an open invitation to spam robots. I deleted it. Allan.]
[I know from first-hand experience that your rather sad "truth about AdSense" is far from the truth. AdSense is definitely worth pursuing, and I believe the best way is to build a high quality, interesting, useful site, not a junk site trying to generate only $1 a day. I own a bunch of sites which do much better than that. If you aim low you're likely to achieve even less than your target. Allan.]
Waiting for ur reply.
[If you'd like a site review, try asking nicely in the Site Review section on our affiliate forum. Allan.]
[Well done! That's a great story. The best place to ask for AdSense tips is in the AdSense section of our affiliate forum. Allan.]

[If you write to AdSense pleading your case, I strongly suggest that you do NOT use all capital letters. Many people regard that as shouting.

what a knowledge base site, some days before i just joined adsense program through an internet marketing site by giving them subscription fee, they build a web page for me (i have to make payment extra for hosting and domain name) they will make 300 pages for me, am i going in right path or not and how to earn a handsome money can any body tell me step by step, another thing can't i or my friends click by giving search criteria my web site used?
[For long-term success, I recommend you create a genuinely unique site. Because you're seeking detailed answers, you should ask your questions in the AdSense section of our affiliate forum. Allan.]
Thank you!
Read the comment about large groups, "stealing AdSense clicks". They're to dam lazy to do the work (hard work) themselves, so they resort to stealing millions of "pewnie" AdSense clicks?
PS- This site Rocks!
[You're very fortunate to have such a useful background. You don't have to worry about where you live. I live part of the year in Australia and part in New Zealand. That doesn't affect my AdSense revenue in any way. It's where your website visitors live that is important. You could live in Bulgaria if you wanted to and create a website targeted at Americans and Americans visiting it would see ads aimed at them. We have an AdSense section on our affiliate forum.

Read more about Ao Hin Khok
Skirt the rocks where Phra Arpaimanee and the mermaid hang out at the southern end of Haad Sai Kaew, and you'll enter 200 metre long Ao Hin Khok, with slightly larger Ao Phai just beyond that. While the former remains a favourite of budget travellers thanks to a trio of long-running bungalow joints, the latter has become somewhat overcrowded in recent years.
On a leafy stretch of on Ao Hin Khok's southern sand, you'll find the humble abode of one of Samet's most interesting characters. After having her fill of the city life in Bangkok, Chawalee moved to Samet to live a hermit's life by the ocean, and she remains despite the development that's sprung up around her. She'd prefer you didn't lie about right in front of her place, though she speaks excellent English it you want to have a yarn.
Both beaches (if not for a few rocks it would be one long one) boast some of the finest white sand on Samet, with some great swimming also possible here. With ... Read our complete Ao Hin Khok travel guide

These colors remind me of the beautiful white and deep purple lilacs she grew in her yard. The fragrance from her incredible garden filled our neighborhood each spring and summer. Margaret could never have children of her own, but she shared her wisdom and love and lilac bouquets with a wide circle of friends. She used to say, "You don't have to give birth to bestow unconditional love upon someone." Sending glassybaby light, love and lilacs to you, Margaret. ~Mary

2004 Lexus LS430 Large sedan
carnaught Posts: 1,569Nice review of the new LS430. Keep in mind there will be naysayers on this board who discount state-of-the-art Nav. systems and other electronic wizardry as unimportant. They turn a blind eye to these and other refinements and prefer to denigrate the Lexus marque using descriptive tones invoking "Buicks" or "refrigerators". I don't bother to argue these points, just agree to disagree with them.
samnoe Posts: 731
rcf8000 Posts: 619
calbears Posts: 3Requires a trained eye to tell the difference between this and the '01-'03's. 6 speed tranny seem to be the major difference. Same engine. Keyless entry and bluetooth (for cell phones) are the other major changes. Latest DVD nav supposedly is more thorough. I find it hard to pay a $20k premium between this and a low mileage '02. As far as waiting for an ALL NEW LS in 2006 -- geez... has there been any all new LS since 1989? The interior looks much nicer, but it's always evolutionary.
rgsw Posts: 333My 2002 LS430 has a small green light on each of the four windows and the door lock button. I believe this is enough illumination to find what you are looking for. The door handles are well illuminated and the intensity of the light reduces when the key is turned on. Even the floor lighting is good and it also reduces in intensity when the key is turned on. I suggest that a prospective or new owner check out the illumination in a dark room/garage to get the full understanding and familiarity with all the lighting. I am very pleased with the excellent job Lexus has done with interior lighting.

A talk by Peter Berton, with Otto Schnepp as discussant
Thursday, February 22, 20074:00 PM - 5:30 PM10383 Bunche HallUCLALos Angeles, CA 90095
The Jewish presence in China dates back over a thousand years, and one can identify four distinct waves of Jewish migration to China. How did the PRC's relations with Israel and with former Jewish residents in China develop? Beijing's relations with Jerusalem predate China's formal recognition of Israel and the establishment of full diplomatic relations in 1992. The Sino-Soviet conflict left China without access to spare parts for its Soviet-made military and civilian equipment. Israel was only too happy to sell Soviet-made weapons that it had captured from the defeated Arab armies. These mutually beneficial sales were done in strict secrecy. With official recognition, relations between China and Israel rapidly expanded to include trade and joint ventures in a number of fields, but most notably in agriculture, weaponry, and high technology. The Chinese government also became interested in taking advantage of the heritage of former Jewish residents to promote tourism, trade, and foreign investment in the pursuit of economic development. For their part, the latter took the initiative to organize the Israel-China Friendship Association. Recently, there seems to be also an emecrging keen interest in China in popularizing Jewish values and urging Chinese youngsters to emulate Jews as a key to success in life.
