Add a CommentFresh concept, I really enjoyed Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance in this film, he just caught my attention. Little Pierce Gagnon "The Rainmaker" was fantastically brilliantly sweet, with sudden tones of creepiness. He makes the viewer cherish him while on his best behavior, and then recoil at his--challenging moments. Some kids are just born stars. I didn't care for the cheap "love scenes" because it took away from the movie, and it keeps younger audiences from experiencing the original ideas that the movie has to offer, as well as the consequences brought on by the actions of "Joe" and esp. "Old Joe." One of the best extra features I've seen too, including the "hidden short".
A bit predictable at times, but all in all not a bad way to kill a few hours. Not Bruce Willis's best work, but hot his worst either.
An intriguing film about the illegal time travel trade. Its only error is that it spent too much time dwelling on the set-up before getting the story started. A suspenseful thriller, I found it immensely satisfying. I highly recommend LOOPER.
An OK time travel movie. Confusing at times and major holes in the story line. A very interesting ending though.
"Bham 2013" Enjoyable, stylish sci movie w/ major plot holes but both leads entertain and the movie inspired conversation afterward.
Bad ending... Utter waste of time. Only watch it until the part where Levitt and Willis meet in the cafe together. Then stop the film. Trust me on this.
Interesting premises but I felt something (I don't know what,) wasn't fully developed. This film would be on my third tier recommendation list.
LOVED this movie. In a time when movies are either just made from books (but are never as good) or remakes of other movies, this story line felt totally original. All actors involved were perfect.

Joe: "...Then I saw it. I saw a mom who would die for her son... A man who would kill for his wife... A boy, angry and alone. Laid out in front of him, the bad path. I saw it. And the path was a circle. Round and round. So I changed it."

I am trying to build something that will return an .ics file and open it in Apple iCal. I have checked out websites that do something like this and noticed that in Chrome, a "External protocol request" dialog box comes up and then, if you click OK, iCal opens, whereas Safari just opens up iCal automatically. Firefox opens up a "launch application" dialog box which lets you choose which application to open it in; if you choose calendar then it opens. How do I get my application to evoke such behavior? Right now I can only make the file download, but it doesn't automatically open. Is this a frontend thing or backend?

Company puts focus on five key technologies
If Tom Anderson were a celebrity chef, he might use expressions such as, "Kick it up a notch!" or "Bam!"
Instead, Anderson uses the more common business terms of "leverage" and "synergy." But those aren't clichés to him. They are at the heart of his goals for Wyle Information Systems Group, the division of Wyle that he took over as president in March.
In his first 45 days, Anderson restructured his management team by bringing on three new executives to lead business development and the defense and civilian units. He also put a Wyle veteran in charge of a new unit named New Solutions.
"Everybody in this organization is pulling toward a common goal," said Anderson, who came to Wyle after having been president of Computer Sciences Corp.'s civil and health services group.
Wyle Information Systems Group represents about a quarter of Wyle's $800 million in annual revenue. It is one of three operating groups of the company based in El Segundo, Calif. The other two are the Aerospace Group and Integrated Science and Engineering Group.
Wyle was founded in 1949 and was acquired in June 2009 by Court Square Capital, a private equity group.
Building the Team
Part of what drew Anderson and his team to Wyle was the financial stability that Court Square brings to the company, he said. When that is coupled with the three business units' capabilities, Anderson said he saw opportunities for growth.
"You look at the Integrated Science and Engineering business and the work they do in the medical and health side," he said. "We can leverage that to help us grow our health IT business."
Health information technology is one of five growth areas for Wyle Information Systems Group. The others are cybersecurity, earth sciences, data management and cloud computing.
The new executives he brought on board are leading those growth efforts.
"The upside is that people have been energized," White said.
Anderson's charge is to apply the company's core capabilities to differentiate it in the market. He also will identify opportunities that Wyle can craft specific solutions for, and he'll explore the market's likely next direction, so "we can be a first mover," he said.
Wyle already is working in those five core areas that it sees driving growth in the market. For example, in the earth sciences arena, Wyle has contracts with the National Weather Service. The company manages the Climate Prediction Center and handles data visualization work and hurricane predictions and analysis.
"Wyle has the ability to combine domain expertise with technology in some very specialized areas," Abel said.
Team of Entrepreneurs
Anderson said his senior team has an entrepreneurial spirit and shares ideas and tips about growing the business.
The new structure will let the different operating units inside Wyle Information Systems work together to pursue new contracts.
"Our goal is to be quick to respond and very adaptable," Anderson said. "We're together as a team and we've found some significant capabilities to take to market."
Cybersecurity is one example. The company has an information assurance academy in the Aerospace Group that it hopes to expand into other customer sets across Wyle.
"All the leadership teams are very interested in finding ways to leverage one another and tell Wyle's story," Anderson said.
Acquisitions are also part of the company's strategy. Wyle acquired RS Information Systems in 2008 to create the Information Systems Group. Anderson said his acquisition strategy is focused on adding capabilities to those five growth areas.
"We are identifying certain types of capabilities that align with those five areas and would strengthen our portfolio," he said.
Tough Market
The current market has its problems for growth. Anderson cited government budgetary pressures and slow procurement process as some of the major impediments to growth.
"Many procurements are getting drawn out for one reason or another," Anderson said. "It would be wonderful to see some improvements, and I know a lot of work is being done in that area."
Part of Wyle's strategy is to increase customer awareness about the company and what it can do. "We have limited resources, so we want to develop intimacy with our customers," he said.
Another goal is to make Wyle an employer of choice. "I want to develop an environment where people want to come to work and really like what they do," Anderson said.

Great happy hour prices and very friendly staff. I was really impressed to find Iron Springs on tap as well as some other hard to find beers like Triple VooDoo. They have a growing bottle list as well as 16 taps.
I've been in a few times for their comedy night and they will have food trucks outside like the falafel truck and a few others. I think they're working on more snacks but for now you can go in and get a cheese plate and some organic beef jerky from the Santa Rosa Junior College's Shone Farm.

This place is fairly new and just changed its name to Heritage (from The Hopyard) and is in the same building as the Wineyard. Roman and Earlina were really friendly and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed talking to them and to the others at the bar. They had a big flat screen with sports at the other side of the room, but it luckily was not the main focus, but a nice aside.
We stopped here on the way back from Bottle Barn, and Whole Foods Coddingtown.
We would stop here again on a future visit to Santa Rosa. It had a nice friendly and relaxing vibe and felt like a find.

"Dwight Trible and John Beasly can turn any material into a song of praise. Trible and Beasly taps into the tradition of assigning lyrics to existing jazz standards, aligning themselves with some of the great masters of the art, Jon Hendricks and Eddie Jefferson.
The two firmly wave in and out the jazz singer's domain of delivering a song true to its story, while composing variations on the tune as he goes."

"Dionne Farris and Russell Gunn Quartet make beautiful music together"
Dionne Farris' latest recording project "Dionne Get Your Gunn: The Cube, features the incomparable songstress, alongside Grammy nominated trumpeter, Russell Gunn (Quartet).

Radisson Blu Hotel, Belfast
Travel Blogs from Belfast
And so at 4am on a cold rainy day I found myself standing alone in Victoria bus depot waiting for my transfer to the airport wandering why on earth I didn't just fork out the sixty quid for a cab.

After arriving from my Train Trip...i went and got a Taxi from the station to the Hotel...even though it was about 5 minutes away. The Hotel looked good and i checked in.

TravelPod Member ReviewsRadisson Blu Hotel, Belfast
Modern luxiourious hotel in Belfast. Good hotel service, food, and accommodations. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again if I ever return to Belfast.

Historical Traveler Reviews Radisson Blu Hotel, Belfast
Leaves alot to be desired
Having recently stayed during a business trip, I found alot to be desired at this hotel.
Upon check in I was disgusted by the attitude of the female receptionist, not only could they not find my reservation even though I had printed confirmation, but they proceeded to overcharge me.
As for the bedroom, I did not expect dirty bathroom towels and most certainly not urine stains around the toilet bowl, this was reported to the duty manager, but nothing materialised.
My evening meal left me feeling disheartned as the waiter practically threw my food at me and the bar staff didn't seem to want my custom.
In summary I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. There are plenty of other welcoming hotels in Beflast.
Would recommend and return myself
Stayed at this hotel last weekend. The hotel itself is an impressive building - and the decor inside very simple and stylish. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Had lunch in the hotel restaurant (great) and breakfast the following day was excellent - great choice, fresh food and nicely cooked.
My room was great - made what was a very brief stay, very relaxing. All mod cons, very clean and really nicely styled.
I would definately recommend. Location, I thought, was fine. One of those areas that is being developed so will only get better I would imagine. Only a 5-10 minute walk to city hall and shops/bars etc.
21st Century Hotel
As a member of a GLOBUS tour that toured Ireland for 2 weeks, we found this hotel to be one of 4 truly outstanding properties that we stayed in. There is a 'WOW' factor when you first enter your room. The hotel rooms look like something from the tv cartoon 'The Jetsons'. Fantastic decor - very modern looking - everything working perfectly and was impeccibly clean. Our meals were truly outstanding and the breakfast was the most varied and complete of any hotel we stayed in. If there is a criticism, it is that the hotel is not right in the centre of town but rather in an industrial area. Walking into town is possible, but it is a bit of a hike to some of the best pubs/shopping.
Good Value in Belfast
This hotel is very typical of Radisson SAS Hotels. The service was very friendly, the hotel was very clen and well maintained. Our breakfasts were great and we dined one evening in the restaurant, a very good meal. The location was not the best as we arrived from the airport via the airport direct bus to the center of Belfast. The hotel is about a 15 mnute walk from the bus drop off.
Best hotel in Belfast
Absolutely stunning hotel - contemporary luxury! No expense has been spared on the decor and layout - The only thing missing from this wonderful hotel is a fitness suite/pool.
Will be back!
Just back after a fab weekend in this hotel, staff are very helpfull and friendly. Food is top notch and service second to none. Only gripe would be that there is no leisure facilities on site.
Claire M, Dublin
Radisson is the way to go!
This brand new hotel is a breath of fresh air in belfast! The rooms are excellent, the food is good and the staff poliet and helpful. I stayed here for a weekend when it opened and will definitley be going back! When coming to belfast choose the radisson or hilton!
A stylish havan
Styed in the Radisson SAS Belfast recently and absolutely loved it. A really stylish, contemporary hotel in a quiet area. Rooms are large and well equipped. Food lovely. Service excellent and they even accomodated a late check out at 3pm!
Highly recommended.
Absolute Luxury!
Stayed here for one night on the 4th December, absolutely awesome hotel, everything very modern and well thought out. The rooms had every toiletry you could think of and had some great details (speakers in the bathroom so you can hear the tv in there too! magnified mirror for shaving). The bed was massive and extremely comfy. Rooms air-conditioning excellent. Reception staff were very helpful in booking us a taxi back to the airport. Breakfast was superb with everything under the sun available, also had a nice touch in that breakfast was served til 1pm on the sunday, great for lovers of a lie-in! Was in easy walking distance to the city centre. Booked the hotel for a bargain £75 a night using the radisson website, awesome value.
We have just come back from a weekend in Belfast and loved it! We were staying at the Radisson SAS, (which we booked online so got a good deal). Got a bit lost coming into the city and ended back onto the M1, the directions on the hotel website of how to get there weren't great. But we got there, staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was lovely. It's a very cool modern hotel about five to ten minutes strolling distance from city hall and we would definitely recommend it. And if you get a map, don't worry how far things seem on it, EVERYTHING in the city centre is well within walking distance even for a taxi lover like me! Good city for shopping as all the shops are more or less concentrated around one area. Didn't hit any clubs as we were shattered from shopping all day but went to a few bars- favourite was the one attached to Porcelain/Ten Square. Tried to get into Porcelain for dinner but they don't take bookings so when we went in at quarter to eight they didn't have a table for two hours- we should have known better I suppose, it being Saturday night! Went to Skye Bar then for bar food which was gorgeous- great people-watching spot! All in all- will be back again soon- maybe for January sales!

Non-fiction children's space flight stuff 1945-1975.

The Jolly Jump-ups Journey Through Space (1952)
The Jolly Jump-ups Journey Through Space is pop-up book in the Jolly Jump-ups series. The books are about the adventures of children as they explore the world.
The Jump-Up family appeared in a series of popular books detailing its adventures, which ranged from exploring a new house and neighborhood to crossing America in a trailer. In this story, the family ventures into space, visiting other planets and encountering friendly aliens.
Geraldine Clyne. The Jolly Jump-ups Journey Through Space. Springfield, MA: McLoughlin Bros. 1952

A Trip in Space (1968)
A Trip in Space is the fictional story of astronauts traveling in space. It finishes out my "storybook month" showing how fantasy and reality can get blended in these children's books. The question I have is if it is about an occupation (like astronaut) and it shows what they do without any special "extra" adventure is it fictional because it is essentially a composite portrait rather than about a specific person? Or is it simply a career book?
The illustrations in this book are very nice.
Grant, Bruce. Illustrated by Fleishman, Seymour. A Trip in Space. Chicago: Rand McNally and Co. (22 p.) 21 cm. Illustrated Boards.
They simplify the astronauts' journey but render the essential facts well. I like very much the aerial view of the swamps of Cape Kennedy as a rocket is launched. A nice way to show the geography of the area.
Their vehicle looks like an early Apollo capsule but their suits are more Mercury than Apollo.
This is my favorite illustration showing the sun's rays refracting into rainbows at the edge of earth's atmosphere.
A nice description of how they prepare for re-entry.
What would it be like to go into space?

Johnny's Space Trip (1954)
Back to the imaginative past and Johnny's Space Trip. This 1954 fictional book captures the spirit of doing it for yourself as Johnny and his friends build (and dream of) a spaceship for a journey from their backyard. It is pure fantasy but as you will see there is a scientific bent to what Johnny wants to bring.
Sells, Mike. Illustrated by Charles Stone. Johnny's Space Trip. Cross Publications, Inc., New York, 1954.
So what would/did you take on a space trip to the Moon? I know I imagined this trip in a number of ways. I think that was one of the reasons that Space Food Sticks, Tang, and other space age food were so interesting to me. I was practicing for the "diet of the future."
This is interesting that he wants to check if his spacesuit is airtight before wearing it.
This selection of supplies is pretty reasonable, especially the big box of candy bars. However I am a little worried about the tank of oxygen! While very useful, you do wonder if this was something Johnny had around the house.
A beautiful take-off and the rocket seems to just soar across the sky. Where do you think Johnny should go?
Johnny heads for the Moon. Of course since he has just an afternoon for the voyage he was not planning to land. Notice that they passed the "space platform" on their way to the Moon and were going 6000 miles an hour. The book also discussed the question of where do moon craters come from.
Of course returning to Earth is the easiest part of the journey, it is downhill all the way. Welcome home Johnny!

An Adventure in Space (1968)
From the fanciful to the realistic. An Adventure in Space shows a trip to the Moon in simplified terms. It encourages students to study science and prepare for our future in space.
An Adventure in Space. Illustrated by P.A. Bertolino. Published by the Smithsonian Institution with permission of General Electric Company, Missile & Space Division.(24 p.) 22 cm. Softcover.
A nice little educational pamphlet for older students about traveling to the Moon. Statements from Jame A. Lovell, Jr. inside the front cover and by Wernher von Braun inside the back.
The drawings are very simple and show 3 boys as they take a trip to the Moon.
The enthusiasm for the flight shows on the boys' faces. And the book does a good job of making it feel like an adventure.
What child doesn't want to lift his friend on the Moon?
Of course there is no adventure without your teachers and parents having you do your homework. The pamphlet ends with a final message about preparing for the future.
And back to class....

As We Were Flying on a Rocket Story -part 2 (1961)
Too much to show in one post, here are the further adventures of our Soviet toy astronauts. For the previous post see here:
I think this was their exploration of Venus. It is the only explanation I have for the ocean and the attack by the giant crab!
They also had some other adventures, but I will have to guess where.
The Asteroids?
Interplanetary space?
Finally they turned around and headed for home.
Home can be a strange place too, as they examine a sleeping child through the excellent soviet spy satellite system.
And what would a return to Earth be without a triumphant parade? Well if you are as small as our explorers, maybe just up to the roof for some fireworks instead.

Yao Ming aiding in several global causes
Jul 26, 2011
When Yao Ming, a Chinese international figure and NBA All-Star, was asked about having shark fin soup served at his wedding in 2007, he soundly rejected the notion.
The National Geographic reported that approximately 38 million sharks are killed each year for fins.
As the Goodwill Ambassador for wildlife protection, Yao Ming is leading a global effort to oppose the over-hunting of sharks, the Xinhua News Agency reports.
"Sharks are friends of human beings. They are not our food," Yao told the news source.
Together with his wife, Ye Li, Yao Ming has spread his anti-shark hunting campaign since 2006, when he was appointed ambassador.
Yao went on to tell the news source, "When I was a little boy, my parents and teachers told me to help others and to be a good man. But I could not donate then because I had not much pocket money."
After recently retiring from an injury-plagued, yet successful NBA career, Yao will continue to put his efforts toward this and other international causes, such as supporting leukemia patients and migrant worker's children, the news source reports.

One in every eight moms develops a postpartum mood disorder. Nearly 80 percent may go undiagnosed. Are you at risk?
When Holly Betten, 28, came home from the hospital after a rough delivery, she had one day to adjust to her new life as a mom before her husband went back to working 12-hour days as a computer-software architect. Her son, Henry, became severely jaundiced, wouldn't breastfeed, and almost landed back in the hospital for losing too much weight. "All I could think was, 'What did I get myself into? I should never have become a mom,'" recalls Betten, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. "I felt totally overwhelmed and inadequate -- I couldn't even feed my child." Then Henry developed colic and began to wail all the time. Not surprisingly, so did Betten: "I'd be happy one minute, then crying hysterically the next. I just wanted to leave the baby in his room and walk away."
Her husband worried that Betten was becoming depressed, but she insisted that she could soldier on. "I just attributed it to stress and exhaustion, and refused to ask for help," Betten recalls. And she knew that "the baby blues" could make you feel sad, moody, or irritable. In fact, the condition, triggered by hormone shifts, can affect as many as 50 to 80 percent of new moms.
Such confusion about what life with a new baby is supposed to be like is a major reason women don't seek help. Another problem: "The shame and embarrassment that surround postpartum mood disorders also keep moms from acknowledging the issue," adds psychiatrist Ariel Dalfen, M.D., Toronto author of When Baby Brings the Blues. "But without treatment, postpartum depression can linger and become more severe."
Promoting Acceptance
Postpartum depression (PPD) can strike anyone, and it has nothing to do with how strong you are or how much you love your baby. When Brooke Shields wrote about her devastating bout with the illness in her memoir, Down Came the Rain, she helped put a very public face on the issue. "Her book showed that nobody, no matter how rich, famous, or beautiful, is immune to PPD," points out Margaret Howard, Ph.D., director of the Postpartum Depression Day Hospital at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island.
Even Tom Cruise's diatribe on national television against antidepressants and Shields's use of them wound up doing a lot of good by bringing the postpartum-depression discussion into America's living rooms, says Birdie Gunyon Meyer, R.N., the president of Postpartum Support International (PSI), a nonprofit organization that promotes awareness, prevention, and treatment of mental health issues related to childbirth. In speaking out, Shields joined singer Marie Osmond, who also wrote a book about suffering from PPD, and Mary Jo Codey, wife of the former governor of New Jersey, who not only opened up about her own experiences but also helped New Jersey become the first (and thus far only) state to mandate that all pregnant women be screened for and educated about postpartum depression.
Soon such help may be available nationwide. A piece of legislation known as the Melanie Blocker Stokes Mothers Act -- named for a young mother who committed suicide after suffering postpartum psychosis, an extreme form of PPD -- would help fund related research and education, provide training to medical professionals about the disorder, and increase treatment options and support services. At press time, the bill had been passed in the U.S. House of Representatives and was headed for the Senate. (To learn more and to sign a petition in support of the act, go to PSI's website, postpartum.net.)

Bringing my bike to campus and need advice (self.gatech)
submitted 1 year ago by mtrain123BSBA - 2013
I am bringing my new shiny road bike to campus and would like peoples Do s and Don't s when it comes to cycling around campus/Atlanta.
Are there any good routes around campus/Midtown?
How are the roads for bikes outside of campus?
Is there a club I could join to go on rides with?
Not following road law pisses me off like everyone else so please don't but that.
[–]GaTechPDGTPD 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago*
Visit: http://bike.gatech.edu/
The site has just about everything you need to know about biking at Tech. Also, please buy a U-Lock if you don't already own one. Almost all of our bike thefts occur where a bike is secured with a cable lock. You can get a 10% discount on a U-Lock at Barnes & Noble in Tech Square by presenting your Buzz Card.
Edit: I almost forgot. If you ride your bike on the sidewalk at Tech, you're gonna have a bad time.
[–]sumant_neoAlumn - AE BS 2013 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Fellow biker here...yes, please don't ride on sidewalks. Broken jaw and teeth might occur.

[–]throwaway1234xxxAlumn 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Also, you can buy cheaper U-Locks at the Friday (CRC) Parking Lot gatherings, or you can also bike up to "Skate Escape" near Piedmont Park.

I first read this "banging my wife to campus."
I'll see myself out.
[–]efilonPhys - PhD 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Cycling around Midtown is generally not bad. There are some bike lanes (on West Peachtree, for example), and other streets at least have some markings to indicate bikers frequent that road. I've found that drivers tend to be more aware of bikers in Midtown than other parts of town, possibly due to them being more common.
Google Maps is your friend. It has an overlay feature for biking, which gives you a good idea of the best routes to take. Be a little skeptical of its directions, though, as I've had it lead me astray a couple of times.

I'm joining the cycling club this semester. You should come out. We have a lot of organized rides and it's really cheap to compete in the collegiate races.
I totally want to, but y'all are beasts and I don't think I can keep up
Are you a guy or girl? Everyone has to start somewhere! :]
Guy. My time is split among too many things, so I don't ride as often as I'd like. I'm hoping I'll go on a ride this weekend though!
Yeah, I might go to the silver comet. You can come if you want.

We're not actually a "biking club", but Musician's Network has a group of folks dedicated towards doing late night bikes as a group and putting up posters for live concerts around GA Tech (and sometimes Atlanta.) It's super relaxing, and a really open group of people! Message me if you're interested and stuff.
Is it weekend rides or weekday? I coop so late night weekday rides aren't ideal.
Normally weekends, since we have a few coop folks, and occasionally people with ACTUAL JOBS join us. I won't be there this weekend, but I think that everyone else is doing a day ride to Decatur to put up stuff this Saturday (during the day.) If you wanna go this weekend, I would join https://www.facebook.com/groups/underthecouch/ this group and talk to Michael Leon.

Went to the Eastman Show in Macon I few weeks back.
Went on sunday because Pop had to work Saturday and I was hunting.
Nary a modern semi-automatic rifle with a black finish to be seen. Saw a few Mini-14s. No magazines worth buying, just some junk STANAG ones and Beta-C drum mags.
Correction- there was one H&K-91 with a 4,000 price tag on it. My love of all things Burt Gummer only goes so far.
The double stack polymer pistols were pretty well picked over, but, if you were willing to look a bit you could probably find every Glock or XD variation in existence there.
Plenty of plain jane Mossberg 500s and Remington 870s, but a noticed lack of any sort of shotgun with a pistol grip or rail on it.
Next to no pistol mags. Little in the way of reloading supplies. Bulk ammo was scare.

Not many internships for college students list "travel across the United States on a train with a group of entrepreneurs" as a part of the job description. This past summer though, I got to do just that as an intern at Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union in St. Paul, Minnesota.
My mission was to develop new methods to engage the millennial generation in their personal finances, which took understanding how my peers currently managed their student loans, credit cards, credit scores, and budgeting. To do this, I participated in the Millennial Trains Project, a transcontinental train journey for young people to build leadership and entrepreneurial skills by launching a project on a national scale.
Now why would a 20-year-old be interested in such a seemingly dry topic? There is the obvious looming fear of Social Security running dry before any millennial will be able to tap into it. There is also the current state of the economy, which boasts an unemployment rate of 7.4 percent. Some recent master's degree graduates are resorting to making caramel macchiatos at Starbucks just to earn fair wages and health coverage.
We expect high school students by the age of 17 to have their future career choices made, but the reality is that most students begin college with an undecided major. We must not forget that not all students are the same, which is why the conversations about financial literacy need to become more personal and simplified. The key to helping millennials is to find out what they don't know and give them the resources they need to empower them with their financial future.
After stopping in seven cities and talking with current students and college graduates at five different colleges, I came to some conclusions about students' knowledge and what universities and financial institutions can do to help.
Lesson 1: Students borrow a lot of money they don't know a lot about.
If you were a college freshman and received a letter from your school regarding your financial aid award that equated to half of your school's cost of attendance, why wouldn't you take this? It's called an award, so it's like a gift, right? Well, even though 63 percent of the millennials I talked to have student loans, 65 percent of them had almost no familiarity with the repayment of their loans and almost 70 percent of them didn't know about their interest rates. I asked students why they weren't aware of their interest and discovered that they were just more focused on the here and now with school and less interested in what lay ahead for the next four years.
During my trip, I visited the banks and credit unions on the various campuses to see what they had to say about this issue. I was surprised to hear that these financial institutions did not offer a lot of assistance in helping students become more financially literate. They would help students if they came in with questions about their private loans, but they seldom went out of their way to reach out to students. There are some banks that offer budgeting seminars, but these have had little attendance.
I believe there should be a mandatory financial literacy class as part of a high school graduation requirement. Active participation and application of financial literacy are key for students to be able to relate it back to their own pocketbooks.
Lesson 2: We love our credit cards and we reach our limits until we're denied.
Out of all the individuals I talked to, 67 percent said they had a credit card. This conflicted with my preconceived notion that millennials don't typically have credit cards because they know very little about them. There were quite a few students whose credit cards were tied to their parents' credit card accounts, which could have been why they didn't know a lot about them.
One thing that shocked me the most was that only 31 percent of these students know their interest rate. In Omaha, students who were paying their credit card bills in full did not feel that they needed to keep track of their interest rates, but this is crucial if unexpected expenses come up. The most surprising find I had was that almost 80 percent of these individuals knew exactly what their credit limits were on their cards, which made me assume that many didn't keep track of their expenses until their cards were denied.
Lesson 3: Many people don't know what a credit score is used for.
The older the individual I talked to, the more they knew about credit scores. I found that 100 percent of these individuals knew what a credit score was used for and what influenced a credit score. The underlying knowledge of a credit score that millennials have is that it is used for taking out loans and that credit cards can ruin them. In total however, only 50 percent of those surveyed knew what a credit score was used for.
What's more, only 58 percent of individuals had checked their credit score in the last 12 months. This was either from their credit being pulled by housing companies for renting an apartment or for taking out a loan. When asked, 20 percent of them could actually tell me what their score was exactly.
There is a lot more to a credit score than one would actually think. It is more than just a number, it is a determinant of your future buying potential. I wrote a little blog about this in case you might be interested to know more.
When it comes to millennials, we need to make it easier for them to understand their personal finances by simplifying the language and making information more widely targeted and available to them. What would make you more interested in your personal finances? I'd like to know how to make the conversation a little more exciting for you.
We're growing the community of people sharing creative solutions for living well and doing good, and want you to be a part of it. If you have an insight, experience, idea, or project you want to share with the GOOD Community and need more space to tell your story than posting a link on good.is allows, email us at email@example.com.
This 1 min video deals with the disparity between the education system and the employment market. Please "like" this if you believe the proposed solution would be productive.
Now that you've collected all this information, how do you plan on executing solutions on a bigger scale? Are you working with financial institutions to create curriculums for high schools, for example?
During the upcoming spring and fall 2014 semesters I will be a part of an elite undergraduate professional program within the College of Business at North Dakota State University called the Legacy program. A small group of other members including myself will be in collaboration with a local financial institution in developing and implementing a financial literacy program for high school students. I will be able to implement what I learned from the Millennial Trains Project when working on this curriculum to come up with a creative solution to helping high school students become more financially literate and engaged.
Looking forward to seeing it. I know that as someone who didn't get a credit card till after college, I regretted the fact that I hadn't built a credit history. However, I was thankful that I had set up a savings account. At the same time, though, I would have loved to learn more about how to optimize my investments properly.

Native Instruments has introduced Premium Tube Series, a new collection of effects capturing the warm, natural sound of tube-driven hardware.
Premium Tube Series is made up of three individual effects – Passive EQ, Vari Comp and Enhanced EQ – available either individually or as a bundle. Premium Tube Series makes these effects available for the first time as native plug-ins that run individually within a DAW in VST, AU, RTAS or AAX format. The effects are modeled by Softube, the team behind Native Instruments' Vintage Compressors.
Passive EQ is a fully-parametric, two-channel, four-band equalizer, with additional high and low pass filters plus a wide collection of presets for all use cases. Characterized by its versatile nature and natural sound, it is well suited to a wide range of production duties – from individual tracks to sub groups and even mastering. As with all the effects in the series, running as an individual plug-in in any DAW gives it significant ease-of-use advantages over hardware units, such as built-in parallel processing options, and mid/side mode.
As its name suggests, Vari Comp is a compressor with a flexible range of use cases, from instrument groups to individual tracks. Emulated to possess a clear and warm 'analog' sound, Vari Comp limits and compresses. In limit mode, it uses a unique automatic ratio and knee adjustment, altering the compression ratio from 4:1 up to 20:1 automatically in response to the input signal.
Enhanced EQ is an easy-to-use effect adept at providing tracks with both subtle definition and rich loudness. Modeled from a boutique studio standard, this is the EQ for adding warmth and weight to the low end of individual tracks, thanks to a special curve produced by simultaneously cutting and boosting the low frequencies. Enhanced EQ works equally well at adding clarity and shine to midrange.
The Premium Tube Series bundle is available at the NI Online Shop for $229 / €199. The individual effects can also be bought separately: Passive EQ $169 / €149, Vari Comp $119 / €99, Enhanced EQ $79 / €69.
Additional information on the Premium Tube Series is available at: www.native-instruments.com/premiumtubeseries

By Brian Jacobsen, Chief Portfolio Strategist; John Manley, Chief Equity Strategist;
and James Kochan, Chief Fixed-Income Strategist
Executive Summary
- After giving vague guidance about when it might reverse course, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) provided calendar-date projections as to when policy might change, and finally, in a form of radical transparency, it has provided specific unemployment and inflation triggers for policy changes. Although the Fed cannot take all the credit, its bond-buying program has aided the housing market by keeping mortgage rates low. Housing could provide a significant boost to growth in 2013.
- Another area that we believe could provide a lift is in the area of investment spending by businesses. Even if there is only a slightly positive growth rate to the economy, that could be enough for some to start thinking about growing their businesses.
- During the course of 2013, the dollar is likely to strengthen relative to the yen and euro but depreciate relative to some emerging markets currencies, like the Mexican peso.
- There are two big wild cards in 2013 for the eurozone: the February elections in Italy and the September/October elections in Germany.
- In emerging markets, there are country-specific factors that could favor areas like China, emerging Asia, and Central to South America in the coming year.
- In our opinion, there has been a lingering consensus haunting Wall Street since the end of the last major bear market four years ago: Sooner or later, we are going to have to pay for the excesses of the past 25 years.
- In our opinion, one of the most important (but not the only) drivers of stock market performance is the stance and actions of the Federal Reserve.
- With Europe in a recession, and likely to stay that way throughout 2013, investors may be a bit too glum on European and emerging markets equities. We think Europe could be host to—and the source of—volatility, but with austerity becoming less austere, some emerging markets have slightly shifted away from export-dependent growth, and their economies—and markets—could advance nicely. We don't encourage an overweight to Europe or emerging markets, but we do like a selective normal weight to both areas.
- Our strategic position for 2013 remains the same as it has since 2010: It is still too early in this cycle for fixed-income investors to be overweight cash and cash equivalents. While no one can accurately predict the future path of growth, employment, or inflation, it is probably reasonable to assume that the Fed will keep the federal funds rate near zero and will remain a significant buyer of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) through 2013.
- A defining feature of this cycle is the collapse in borrowing in the private sector of the U.S. economy. Housing is a big user of borrowed money, and that sector is only now starting a slow recovery.
- We believe the current market environment is likely to prevail in 2013, and, as such, investors should continue to seek income rather than safety. Long-duration strategies that have been beneficial the past four years might not be as successful in 2013.
- For investors with an investment horizon of three years or longer, we recommend a strategic overweight to equities relative to fixed income.
- Short-term, over the next three months, we think investors can still be rewarded by looking at higheryielding fixed-income investments as well as growth-oriented equities.
- Within the equity portion of a portfolio, long-term, we think investors should look globally for opportunities.
- Based on our economic outlook, we believe that interest rates are likely to remain low for the next year, presenting an opportunity for investors to take on additional duration and credit risk.

BCS Championship 2014: TV Info, Spread, Injury Updates, Game Time and More
By Alex Kay ,
The 2014 BCS National Championship Game features the two best teams in the country, as the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (12-1) and the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles (13-0) will clash on Monday in the final BCS title game before a playoff system is implemented.
Auburn is looking to become the SEC's eighth straight national champion, completing a conference sweep of the BCS Championship since the format changed to a separate game in 2006.
The Tigers are considered by many to be a "team of destiny," after they lost an early-season game to LSU but recovered to rip off nine wins in a row. That stretch included victories over Alabama in the Iron Bowl and Missouri in the SEC Championship Game.
However, they will have their hands full against FSU, which remained undefeated from an automatic qualifying conference. The ACC champions boast a Heisman Award winner at quarterback in Jameis Winston, an electrifying offense and one of the most tenacious defenses in the country.
It's going to be a showdown for the ages that you won't want to miss. Keep reading to find out where to catch all the action, plus betting information, a prediction on the final score and much more.

Can Auburn Contain Jameis Winston?
Auburn's defense is going to have a tough time stopping Winston, as the freshman signal-caller is an elite talent who also has plenty of top-tier weapons surrounding him.
He captured the 2013 Heisman Award by completing 237-of-349 passes for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns. He tossed just 10 interceptions while also running 77 times for 193 yards and four additional scores.
He has been running one of the most devastating offenses in the nation, which finished the 2013 campaign with an average margin of victory of more than 42 points.
FSU's offense was the sixth most effective per play, as it put up 322.0 yards per game through the air and 207.4 yards on the ground. The 53.0 points per game that the 'Noles scored made them the top-scoring program in the FBS.
Auburn's defense isn't equipped to handle this kind of firepower. The Tigers ranked No. 95 in the country in terms of yards allowed per play. The defense conceded more than 1,000 total yards in the final two contests of the season and has to be more efficient if it is going to have any hope of containing Winston.
Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson spoke with ESPN's Heather Dinich about his team's strategy to limit Winston with the crystal trophy on the line. When asked if the difference in the game would be forcing the FSU signal-caller into committing uncharacteristic mistakes and turnovers, Johnson said:
It's going to be a big factor. The play in the box, they have tremendous skill out on the edges, but the pressure in the box is going to be one of the biggest keys to any defensive success that we have. There will be some other things in the game we can't control, kicking game, offense, all are going to contribute. But as far as us performing defensively and giving our football team a chance to win, there's got to be pressure on the quarterback.
Dee Ford, a defensive end for the Tigers, is confident that he will bring Winston to the turf. As per CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman, the senior pass-rusher had this to say:
Asked what makes him so confident he can get to Jameis Winston, #Auburn DE Dee Ford: "He's a quarterback. He drops back." Smiles, laughs
— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) January 3, 2014
The young quarterback should have a bit of extra motivation to avoid that rush and make some plays down the field, as he recently had a chance to check out The Coaches' Trophy ahead of the title game:
"I need this in my life"-Jameis Winston pic.twitter.com/ayCmBdn7Pz
— #BeatAuburn (@NoleFanatics) January 3, 2014
It's going to be an excellent matchup, and Winston's performance will be the difference in the outcome. If he has a good game, Florida State will be crowned the national champion. If he has a disappointing outing—a rare occurrence in 2013—it could spell doom for the Seminoles.
Auburn has been a special program in 2013, but it has also been lucky.
Plays like "The Miracle on the Plains" catch against Georgia and a rare missed-field-goal return against 'Bama have made the difference between this upstart program making a run-of-the-mill bowl and the BCS Championship Game.
While head coach Gus Malzahn, quarterback Nick Marshall and running back Tre Mason all deserve credit for installing and executing one of the most flawless triple-option attacks that college football has seen in a long time, the Tigers offense is rather one-dimensional.
With more than a month to prepare for this contest, the Seminoles should be ready to limit the effectiveness of Auburn's rushing attack.
Which team will win?
Expect these two potent offenses to trade blows out of the gate, but eventually the ineffectiveness of the Tigers defense will start to show. Florida State may not even punt in this game, while Auburn will be stymied at least a handful of times by an elite unit that conceded just 10.7 points per game in 2013.
Final Score
Florida State wins, 45-35.

My hair has always been "my thing." From the ages of ten to twelve, I had to have curly hair. My grandmother would take me to the salon were I would get a 'permanent.' I would sit for hours with my hair rolled in blue and pink rods all the while stinking to high heaven. One day while visiting my aunt's house with freshly permed hair, for some reason she took a brush to it and killed it. You can imagine my grandmother's response when she saw my frizz-stricken hair. This was the end of my obsession with curly hair.
I have banished the love of curly hair for myself and instead opened my heart to super straight hair. My natural hair is not curly or straight. It's frizzy. Straight hair is not an easy accomplishment when you live in a humid environment like I do. So many companies promise the world with their straightening products but I have only found one that has told me the truth. When it has to be straight, I swear by Garnier's Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk. I won't trust my hair to anything else.

For today home is Ubud, in Bali, a truly magical place. I love Bali, but I do miss my England, just strolling through the streets; the lovely old oaks in Richmond Park; the Thames, majestic and now so clean; walking through London at night in the rain when everything is sparkly and glistening. And there is no place I know where the light is better. England will always be home, and I reckon I will end up back there again one day, but for today I sit under a coconut tree and watch the rice grow.
