- In order to get your audience to pay attention to your marketing videos you need to grab their attention right off the bat! Ask a weird question, be off the wall, start an interesting story. Tell them why they should watch your video. What will they get out of it?
- Put plenty of value into your marketing videos. Every now and then it's ok to leave something out, an open loop. Tell them to take another step to get the full value- click this link, purchase this product, etc. Don't do this ALL the time or no one will watch your marketing videos.
- Use "general" language in your marketing videos. People will draw their own conclusions that support their beliefs. If you get too specific (unless you're aiming for a certain niche) you may offend a lot of people.
- "Pace" through income levels land explain why your training/product is for everyone – it will help broke people get money, it will give rich people more time freedom, etc.
- Tell stories and be vivid in your marketing videos. Describe what you see and hear in your story so that the audience can really picture it.
- Use social proof in your marketing videos. Share ANY and ALL results that you are getting, no matter how small. If you don't have any results, then share other people's results!
- Explain through logic why a person should buy your product, join your team, etc. A good example would be: "If you want to make $400,000 a year you can become a doctor after 12 years of schooling and hundreds of thousands in student loan debt or you can join my team and reach your goals in "blank" amount of days with "blank" amount of money!"
- Use indirect calls to action in your marketing videos. An example would be, "I knew I had to buy or nothing was going to change."
- Be the expert in your marketing videos. Be confident and make statements with certainty.

TRUTH Spoken by A Master Marketer!
My friend Franco Gonzalez wrote this SUPER powerful blog post a couple weeks ago and I wanted to share it. Check it out below! Here's a link to his post - http://www.attractionlistbuilding.com/wakeupnow-2/heres-why-our-team-just-doubled-our-monthly-growth-again/
We just work different here.
In most programs that are "direct sales" deals and just pretending to play "network marketing" you can tell, because they simply design it so that sales and leverage feed the few at the top. The "goo-roos" who keep boasting and bragging about how bad they are and how they "dominate" and how it's all about them etc etc…
Have you ever thought to ask just WHO is being "dominated?"
I know, it's subtle…
If they are such awesome "predators" who DOMINATE, who is the prey?
Yep, you guessed it… you.
You are the prey.
See here's what you won't find when that model is being used…
Here's what you won't find in their back offices…
Their teammates getting paid.
Oh, they claim it and say "I wanted to help my team get paid" but read between the lines… who do they consider their "team?"
ONLY the ones who shell out the big bucks. In fact, if you're not sending over a RIVER of your cash to them, consistently, they tell you flat out, they won't "work directly with you" and so you have to know that's a big clue.
Their "team" is just other professional grade producers who already know how to sell.
Their "team" is not the newbie.
Just look at the back office and you can tell…
Cause new people are not getting paid.
You are not getting paid.
It's not designed to do that.
It's a "good ole gooroo boys club" and chances are, you were never invited to be on the inside, you were just invited to fund their play time… and their next big traffic campaign… and all the toys they're buying with your money.
Here's the inside scoop…
And the charade begins…
They justify it, validate it, and victimize the new guy and say anything and everything to let the new people know that they should be worshipping their gooroo and sending even more money to discover "the real secrets."
Kind of sounds like the Church of Scientology <— google it.
Same approach…
Find a person in a vulnerable state and…
"I have the secrets to your universe, buy my stuff."
"I have exactly what you want… buy my stuff!"
And after that happens…
"I have secrets you want… buy even more of my stuff. My new stuff is better and more important than last month's great stuff."
And after targeting vulnerable people and offering them some secrets, it continues…
"You're not worthy yet to know the "real" secrets, so you must……"
Yep, you guessed it…
And so it goes on until the new guy just can't buy more stuff…
Then, they're simply told to…
"Work on your mindset! You're not ready. You're "resisting" and not allowing this knowledge in. It's your mind and attitude… you're a weakling… please go away… get away from "poisoning" my team… get outta here… scram…. and work on your weak mind, then come back and…. BUY MORE STUFF!"
It's a model.
Google the Church of Scientology.
It's exactly what they do too.
Some say it's not "right or wrong" it's just a model.
I say, when it's KNOWN that, that is happening to good people… it's sociopathic, not only wrong, it's disgusting.
Yet, the narcissism continues.
They're in love with themselves and begin to believe their own BS.
It's a sales hack.
And it begins to hurt people. A lot of people. And I hate that.
Most times, it gets started as a noble vision and the message is great and attracts people because the energy is so different when it starts and it's more pure… but things change.
The whole thing morphs as the need to find more money consumes them… and well, it just becomes a totally different animal.
You can tell if you know what to look for…
Here's what to look for and what you will see if a "good thing" begins to change into a hurtful thing…
1. A desperately increasing line of "launches" to sell into the existing member base.
"Churn and burn! How much stuff can we get them to buy before they quit and how fast can we do it?"
2. A disregard for improving the front end things that could help the new person succeed. I promise you that front end funnel doesn't convert worth dirty socks after a while. That's why NONE of the "leaders" are using it. ANY of it. They build their own. BIG HINT.
"No need to worry about helping the newbie's funnel out, they won't sell anything anyway and our leaders don't need any help. They already know how to sell the front end themselves. Let's keep creating ways to get our gooroos paid so they don't leave because if our gooroos are not happy they WILL leave… if our gooroos leave, we are DONE. Let's feed the gooroos."
3. The "leaders" begin to build their own "Program inside of the program" and their own courses on top of the courses that they claimed was "all you'd need" inside the "mother program." When the "team system" becomes more important than the program it's supposed to be selling… that's a big red flag. Let the gouging of the newbies begin and now you have more costs that are "critical" and only for "the serious people" on the team. Another $100 a month here, and another $47 over there and another $1,500 coaching thing over there…
…and all that additional gouging is OUTSIDE OF and in addition to the actual program you're trying to learn how to sell.
It's INSANITY but the newbie buys it up…
…they simply don't know how to see this.
They're marketing eyes are closed shut.
So, read on and let's help you learn how to see with your eyes wide open… here's more signs as to what you will notice when the game begins to change for the worse, you'll see…
A more aggressive stance and talk by leaders and a more aloof and arrogant attitude form the top.
When they start talking down to the new people who get fed up and start leaving, you know something's up.
4. And the biggest red flag and hint of all time is this:
When the ONLY people being celebrated are the same gooroos and almost NO NEWBIES seem to be able to sell anything to another person in the real world… it gets harder and harder for new guys to sell it because there is growing information being spread by people who got "hip to the con" and left… and this information out there becomes easier to find and proliferates…
….and the only people that damages are the new guys.
That's the difference with that model. It's simply not designed or engineered to be a place that focuses on actually getting results for the new person. It's a haven for the experienced mailer and producer to FLEECE THEIR FLOCK and that's what ends up happening.
Hey, look… I wish this was all just my crazy opinion, but it's not.
Just take a look for yourself and please tell me that THIS is NOT what is actually happening…
…take a good open and honest look and tell me what you see happening.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just shoving a mirror at the game and teaching new people how to truly see with their eyes wide open… because one of my favorite mentors taught me that…
Dead Downlines Don't Lie!
I prefer a model that actually is designed to help the new person get started quickly, for an affordable start up and where it's designed to allow the team to work together to actually generate success for the new members WITHOUT a "Churn and Burn" model.
Here's why…
1. When you help new members succeed, they get into profit mode.
2. When you stop gouging them again and again each month with a new $1,000 or $500 product "launch" and you allow them to breathe and learn the skills of marketing, they don't leave.
3. When they don't quit and leave, your income is stable and consistent.
4. When your income is stable and consistent, you do more to help your new guys get results.
5. When your new teammates are actually seeing results and getting paid, they get excited and their confidence zooms up.
6. When your new teammates are excited and their confidence is up, they don't need nearly as much gooroo "training" and they get the word out like crazy.
7. When they get the word out like crazy, others are compelled to take a look.
8. When others take a look, they buy products and others join.
9. When others join, you have duplication.
10. When you have duplication everybody wins.
11. When you have people winning, thousands of others take notice.
And that's brings us to today…
There is a big reason why our team is growing so fast and why so many new people are coming over in droves from other programs where they were the kindling that fueled the fire of ONLY a few gooroos at the top.
We're gaining velocity as people see that what we say is actually happening in the real world.
We invite you to come to our free events, our hangouts, our trainings, our conference calls and our videos and take a serious look at why we're gaining so much momentum.
You can review it all here (just click and enjoy) and then give me a call.

DENVER, CO.—Claims that an Afghan immigrant was on the verge of unleashing a terrorist attack on New York City on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks are missing a key element: explosives or the chemicals allegedly used to make them, the man's attorney said.
FBI agents have yet to find those elements and connect them to Najibullah Zazi, charged with conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction in a plot authorities say was aimed at commuter trains, attorney Arthur Folsom told a federal judge in Denver Friday.
"No traces of any kind of chemical was found in his vehicle," Folsom said of an FBI search of Zazi's car.
A federal prosecutor argued that Zazi was planning an attack to coincide with the 9/11 anniversary.
"The evidence suggests a chilling, disturbing sequence of events showing the defendant was intent on making a bomb and being in New York on 9/11, for purposes of perhaps using such items," prosecutor Tim Neff told Shaffer.
Zazi was stopped by police on Sept. 10 as he entered New York, and he dropped his plans for an attack once he realized that law enforcement was on to him, prosecutors allege.
Prosecutors said Zazi received explosives training from al-Qaida in Pakistan and returned to the U.S. bent on building a bomb.
Over the summer, he and three associates went from one beauty-supply store to another in a Denver suburb buying chemicals to make explosives like those that killed dozens of people in transit bombings in London and Madrid, investigators said.
At least three and possibly more of his accomplices remain at large, and investigators have fanned out across New York in pursuit of suspects. Authorities also issued a flurry of terrorism warnings for sports complexes, hotels and transit systems.
A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation said associates of Zazi visited Colorado to help him buy the chemicals using stolen credit cards before returning to New York.
Another law enforcement official said that authorities had been especially worried about Zazi's Sept. 10 visit to the city because it coincided with a visit by President Barack Obama. Police considered arresting him right away. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation continues.
Police have been especially active in the neighborhood in Queens where Zazi visited during his New York trip, staying at an apartment with a group of cab drivers and food cart operators he knows.
Folsom said prosecutors lack direct evidence that Zazi was involved in bomb-making, finding none of those materials in Zazi's car, his Aurora, Colo., apartment or apartments Zazi visited in New York. FBI agents said they found Zazi's fingerprints on a scale and batteries during a search in Queens, but Folsom said those items have no connection to the alleged plot.
"I think they were hoping that people would just jump to conclusions," Folsom said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Zazi ran a coffee cart in Manhattan before moving to Denver this year and getting a job as an airport shuttle driver.
FBI raids beginning Sept. 14 rattled a quiet, predominantly Asian neighborhood in Queens. Muslim men said dozens of FBI agents ransacked their homes and questioned them for hours, sometimes taking DNA samples and prints from their shoes.
The FBI has also been visiting beauty shops and home-improvement stores in Colorado and New York for details about the alleged bomb-making purchases.
Court papers say that during the summer, Zazi and three unidentified associates bought "unusually large quantities" of hydrogen peroxide and acetone -- a flammable solvent found in nail-polish remover -- from Denver-area beauty supply stores. The products had names such as Ion Sensitive Scalp Developer and Ms. K Liquid 40 Volume.

German Landtag will no longer use Google Analytics
German "Landtag" Nordrhein-Westfalen has decided it will no longer use Google Analytics for its website. The governmental institution decided on this because of privacy matters.
German website Heise.de reports the decision was made because Google stores the data outside of Germany (in the US) and the Landtag doesn't know what happens to the data.
In Germany the law says that moving data outside the country is only permitted within the EU and then only when it is clear where the data is going. Because Google stores most of its data in the US and German authorities have no idea where this is against the law in Germany.
In Germany there has been a lot of discussion about what Google may and may not know. The issue around Analytics isn't new either, but the decision made by Nordrhein-Westfalen could revive the discussion.
It is not yet clear what this will mean for other German websites. If they are forced to know where the data is stored this could mean more German websites have to remove Google Analytics, but German experts say it won't come to that. For now it is just a governmental discussion in Nordrhein-Westfalen.

The Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence honour outstanding and innovative elementary and secondary school teachers in all disciplines who best equip their students to meet the challenges of our changing society and knowledge-based economy.
The education stakeholders from across Canada who make up the national and regional selection committees look for evidence that teachers have achieved outstanding results with students, inspired them to learn and continue learning, and equipped them with the knowledge, attitudes, and abilities they need to succeed in our changing society and knowledge-based economy. Specifically, they recognize nominees who have excelled in the following areas:
- innovative and exemplary teaching practices;
- student skills development;
- student interest and participation;
- student achievement and performance; and
- teacher commitment and leadership.
Teachers may receive one of two awards: the Certificate of Excellence and the Certificate of Achievement. All recipients receive a certificate from the Prime Minister. In addition, each recipient's school receives a cash award to be used for educational purposes, such as professional development or equipment, and a certificate recognizing its support of and contribution to the teacher's achievement.
Certificate of Excellence recipients travel to Ottawa where they participate in best practice sessions, and receive their award at a special event hosted by the Prime Minister. Certificate of Achievement recipients are honoured at local events involving supervisors, colleagues, and local Members of Parliament or local leaders, as appropriate.

whats the best gift for my wife on bedrest
Comments (10)
Jessica + DH Charlie
Place on bedrest on 12/20/2011. Expecting Bebo (we dont wanna know the sex of baby) on June 27,2012
My wonderful husband buys me flowers almost every week, which I love. I also honestly just like having company. And little surprises here and there. You could invite friends over for a nice dinner in. Very thoughtful of you to be asking!!
Amy-dee+Hubby=4 BOYS! #1 no preg.complications
#2 bedrest 21-36w short cervix, born 38w4d
#4 cerclage&bedrest, born 40w3d
my fave part is when i get something special i likr food buy i luv it when i get movies that we can watch together.. its awsome just when they sit with us and talk or watch movies..lol
Miricale number 5 on the way.our oldest id twin girls 7/13/09 (adopted from my side). together we have 3yr dd born 7/9/10 and ds born 7/24/12
My hubby brought me home a dozen roses to put in my room the other day and it really brightened my day. The best gift he gives me though is his time. Just sitting in bed with me, talking about the baby and putting his hand on my belly to feel our son move. I love talking about our future and just having him open up about fears, anxieties and his excitement.
I can tell you are a great hubby just by asking for other moms opinions!! Great job!!
I enjoy when my husband brings me magazines and nail polish!!!
What a nice husband, you are! I like when mine rubs my back or feet. Also, just spending time together is great!
Team Pink July 2012
Thanks everyone for the good ideas. It took me a while to get back on here because bedrest is hard work. I have to do the grocery shopping and if your not used to it, even that gets hard. The grapes dumped out of the bag at the checkout on me today and it sure made me miss my wife doing it. She does a really good job taking care of the family so it is hard to fill her shoes. I have already completed most of the nice suggestions. The other day I cleaned the old nail polish off my wifes toes, clipped and painted them. She can barely see the job I did but it worked and made her smile.

"A healthy and easy way to prepare perfect brown rice."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
brown rice
1 teaspoon
3 cups
chicken broth
1 tablespoon
olive oil
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon
onion powder
1 pinch
cayenne pepper
This was great! I substituted garlic powder for onion powder (since I was out) and didn't add extra salt, as there's enough in the chicken broth. Definitely better than cooking on the stovetop.
The only thing I'll change is to reduce the cooking time to 45 minutes next time, just because of the brand of brown rice I buy. Even then, it wasn't overly dry after an hour.
This was very flavorful and easy to make -- an average recipe that can be "doctored" up in lots of ways. I liked having the extra burner available on the stove to prepare the rest of the meal while the rice baked in the oven. I had trouble judging the time. It was not ready in 45 minutes as others said it would be, but it would have been way overcooked had I left it in the full time called for in the recipe. I will have to play with the time when I make it again -- which I will!

Great way to make brown rice. I will increase the cayenne next time.
Liked this but made some very minor changes! Used 2 c water and 3.5 c broth. (Since the package directions called for 5 cups water I felt that 3 was too little water.) Recommend reducing salt and pepper to 1/2 t. each. Baked 1 hour exactly and it was great texture! Will make this my new brown rice method!
This very tasty. But 1 hr & 15 min is way too long. I baked it for 45 minutes and it was overdone. Next time I'll try 30 minutes. Aside from that its a great recipe.
Reduced the salt to about 1/4 tsp (due to the sodium content of the chicken broth.) I was out of cayenne pepper so used a pinch of paprika instead. Only needed about 45 min to bake. Just turned off the oven & cracked the oven door while the rest of the meal was finishing up.
Good and easy, I did add extra water at about 35 minutes and it was finished at 50 minutes. I guess it depends on the brand of rice and the oven, I'm glad I checked on it early. Makes a ton so it is perfect to freeze some for another day.

Necrophilia and Gross-Out Realism Abound in Child of God
By Sam Weisberg
Easily the worst adaptation of a major novel by a Nobel Prizewinning author. Easily. Director Mike Newell and writer Ronald Harwood have rendered Gabriel García Márquez's novel little more than a sudsy telenovelaLifetime by way of Telemundo. Not that the material didn't teeter and totter in that direction to begin with: The story of Florentino Ariza's 50-year crush on Fermina Daza was always little more than a variation on Romeo and Juliet, only tinged with the flowery scent of magical realism. But there ain't a damned thing realmagical or otherwiseabout this abomination, which stars a wasted Javier Bardem as Florentino and Giovanna Mezzogiorno as Fermina, who ditches Florentino for a doctor (Benjamin Bratt, who's always been a little made-for-TV anyway). From the hoot-worthy dialogue ("I don't need a medical lesson." "No, this is going to be a lesson in love") to the atrocious makeup, to the dead rats taped to the side of Hector Elizondo's head, the entire thing's a wreck. Unless it was trolling for sneering chuckles, in which casesuccess!

Real Time Behavioral Assessments Giving Litigators the Courtroom Advantage
When the trial team is in the midst of questioning witnesses, cross examining and displaying exhibits, it's impossible to effectively assess all the behavioral clues happening with the jury and witnesses as well as other relevant actions happening in the gallery and beyond. That's where we can give you the courtroom advantage. Trial & Ayers trial consultants debrief counsel before the start and/or end of each day, during every break, and throughout the day on our assessment of how the wind is blowing surrounding the jurors. Consider it a birds-eye view, offering insight on what we observe to be working and what isn't, as well as offering ongoing suggestions for ensuring that things stay on the right track.
As-Needed Services
Trial & Ayers attends trial or courtroom proceedings on a daily or ad-hoc basis. We can observe the entire trial from opening statement through closing argument, or only the sections causing you the greatest unease; your choice.
The Trial & Ayers Courtroom Advantage
Because Trial & Ayers sole purpose is to focus on the jury's behavior and reactions, we offer a unique perspective to determine what is the most expedient course of action to employ based on current conditions in the courtroom. We use our expertise in behavioral clues to deception, nonverbal communication, body language, and communications of both jurors and witnesses to offer you guidance on important tactical assessments throughout the day. If we evaluate jurors would benefit from an altered description, such as more elaborate detail, more concise detail, a more rapid delivery, or a demonstrative visual, we'll let you know. Trial & Ayers provides insight and direction so you can keep your courtroom engagement laser focused.
Trial observation is the best way to provide assessment and feedback regarding the visceral reactions of your case while offering practical suggestions for strategic modifications to increase influence.
Uniquely Qualified
By sharing our expertise in juries, courtroom dynamics and communications, we aim to keep the trial team's strategic direction focused, impactful and relevant. Managing Director, Laurie Ayers, brings unique knowledge, skills and abilities to the area of courtroom observations. She's participated in hundreds of hours monitoring trials as an observer and a juror. Additionally, as a practitioner in nonverbal communication, body language and deception awareness, Laurie is also a member of the the People Intell Team as a Paul Ekman Approved trainer in Evaluating Truth and Credibility and Emotional Skills and Competencies. Her training includes: Behavioral Clues to Deceit, Situational Awareness, Homeland Security, Intuition Studies, Criminal Profiles, Crime Avoidance, Risk Management Development, Managing Victim Fear and Violence in the Workplace.
Her academic achievements include a Bachelors of Arts in Business Administration, in addition to graduate studies with Michigan State University Criminal Justice Homeland Security program. She is also a Landmark Education graduate.
Read Laurie's full bio here.
Experience the Difference
Beware of False Claims: Understand that in a matter of moments you can find a number of YouTube videos and books from people claiming to be body language experts and whom purport they can tell when someone is lying. There is an abundance of unsubstantiated lore out there when it comes to deception. Learn to tell the difference here.
Ready to Get the Courtroom Advantage?
Not sure the Government, your firm or your client is willing to add a subject matter expert to the trial team? Then Overrule that objection and accept our offer of a Risk Free 7 Day Trial. Click here to learn why we're offering it and why you should give Trial and Ayers a try.

Dexter Daily Statesman
The Dexter Police Department will be helping the Secret Service out as part of an agreement to use forensics equipment. Computer Forensics Specialist Lt. Det. Trevor Pulley says after participating in a training class in Hoover, Alabama, with the National Computer Forensics Institute and U.S. Secret Service, the department was issued the $40,000 equipment. In exchange, the city is required to perform the occasional job for the Secret Service. Pulley is one of the only officers trained in analysis of mobile phones, tablets and GPS units in southeast Missouri. Pulley does extensive work with federal agencies--Secret Service, U.S. Customs and the FBI to name a few.

With all the attention being focused on extending the "Bush tax cuts," granting additional unemployment benefits, and the arrival in Washington of newly minted congressional Representatives and Senators, a major piece of the fiscal puzzle has been ignored altogether: states' increasingly pressured budgets for next year. As noted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), the Great Recession "has caused the steepest decline in state tax receipts on record."
And just because most states (except, of course, California) have somehow managed to close those gaps, which averaged one-fifth of the average state budget in 2010, that "does not end the story," according to contributor Elizabeth McNichol. Thirty-nine states have already reported that their expected budget shortfalls for 2011 will exceed $100 billion, and when all states have reported, "these are likely to grow to some $140 billion." Over the last three years, states have suffered deficits of more than $435 billion, and these shortfalls are expected to continue for at least the next several years.
The study revealed that most states have closed the gaps through a series of increased taxes on their citizens, reduced benefits and services, negotiations with state employee unions, borrowing, and deferral of payments into the states' pension plans. They have also enjoyed the temporary benefits, approximately $140 billion, flowing to the states from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The report concludes that the worst is not over by any means. High unemployment, an economy that remains largely moribund, and increasing demands for public services like Medicaid, are continuing to keep the states in a budgetary bind.
The size of the bind was first exposed by Meredith Whitney in her investment report The Tragedy of the Commons which was reviewed in detail here. Her concern was that no one was paying any significant attention to the budgetary problems faced by the states. Moreover, it was exceedingly difficult even to determine accurately just how bad the situation was. She said, "The states represent a new systemic risk to financial markets. I see a lack of transparency and an abundance of complacency … just as we saw before the banks imploded."
Her conclusion was that bailouts of the states by the federal government could approach a trillion dollars, which would have "significant consequences on just about everything."
Now comes Bloomberg with its discovery of the size of the impact that property tax appeals are having on local and municipal revenue streams. In Michigan, for example, appeals for tax relief from excessively high property values — values that have declined between 30 and 50 percent in the last three years — have increased dramatically. Appeals from those owing more than $100,000 in property taxes have more than doubled, and smaller claims for tax relief are eight times higher than 10 years ago.
In Atlantic City, New Jersey, property owners, including each of the owners of the 11 high-end casinos, are demanding tax relief on their properties with values, before the recession, into the billions. So severe is the situation there that Moody's has reduced the city's credit rating to just above "speculative." According to Michael Pagano, dean at the University of Illinois, "If we look into the future, assessments will have to [come down] to reflect the market value, and two years out, property-tax receipts will have to be coming down [as well]. And if the appeals are largely successful, they will generate [even] more appeals."
Illinois is expected to have nearly 20,000 property tax appeals, and the Property Tax Appeal Board already has a backlog of 35,000 pending cases. Louis Apostol, executive director of the board, gets letters every day from property owners desperately seeking relief: "These letters are heart-wrenching. I've got drawers and drawers of them. I respond [to each of them] directly. I also include my phone number and tell them how they can appeal their taxes."
The new reality for cities, towns, townships, and municipalities is that many of them will be seeking relief at the state level. But the states are under terrific pressure, amplified and augmented by the termination in 2012 of the federal bailouts of the states under ARRA.
The pain and suffering as cities, states, and the federal government try to get their finances under some kind of control, is just beginning. The pressure from above and the pressure from below are just now starting to pinch the taxpayer.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's recent 60 Minutes interview raised more questions than it answered. Some even questioned the questions. Gary North explained that the Fed chair was being pushed to defend his decision to purchase more government securities in order to stimulate the economy. Interviewer Scott Pelley was at an admitted disadvantage, and failed to ask Bernanke exactly why he thought additional stimulating would work when past stimulations haven't.
National Review, the putative voice of political conservatism, continues to flack for the Federal Reserve and Fed chief Ben Bernanke's latest round of money magic known as "quantitative easing," or QE2.
Breaking Hauser's LawWritten by Bob Adelmann
The long-awaited international renunciation of the dollar has begun.
China and Russia, who have been agitating internationally for several years now for alternatives to the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency, have announced that they will no longer rely on the dollar in bilateral trade. Instead, the two Asian giants, whose respective economies have boomed in recent years and whose cross-border trade has swelled proportionately, will now use each another's currencies for cross-border commerce.

My brother has been plagued with bedbugs for two years now. We have had to shoot out two sofa beds and a lot of his furniture. His place has been steam-cleaned and sprayed on several occasions, but the damn things keep coming back.

My grandmother lives in this apartment building and to be honest the whole building is condemned with bedbugs. We had to clean out her whole room because it was just infested with the bugs. That alone was a mission. Her neighbour too had to deal with this problem, as well as a person she knew who lived a few floors higher. All I know is those little buggers travel fast, and if they don't get that WHOLE apartment sprayed, to at least make some effort with the bugs, they might as well warn people
that there is a high risk of bed bugs in the vicinity.

Here are seven news updates for ambulatory surgery center leaders to know for Jan. 9, 2014.
Report links ASCs to potential Medicare savings.
A report in the American Journal of Gastroenterology examined the growth of ambulatory surgery centers in the United States in relation to lowered Medicare payments. The study reported that continued ASC growth could reduce Medicare spending since reimbursement is lower than in other settings.
California ASC adverse event reporting requirements changed.
California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed into law a bill that required accredited outpatient surgery centers to report adverse events to the Medical Board of California. The law went into effect Jan. 1.
Fighter Oscar Molina undergoes shoulder surgery at Kerlan Jobe Surgery Center.
Neal ElAttrache, MD, recently performed shoulder surgery on Mexican fighter and Olympian Oscar Molina at the Kerlan Jobe Surgery Center in Los Angeles.
Dr. Luis Espinoza joins Pratt Regional Medical Center and The Surgicenter.

19% of physicians can accurately estimate costs of orthopedic devices.
Only 19 percent of physicians and residents could accurately estimate the costs of 13 common orthopedic devices, according to a new Health Affairs study. Physicians tended to overestimate the cost of low-price devices and underestimate the cost of high-price devices.
White House: PPACA slowed healthcare spending growth.
The Obama administration has attributed slow healthcare spending growth in 2012 to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. National health spending in 2012 increased by 3.7 percent to $2.8 trillion, compared with a 3.6 percent increased to $2.7 trillion in 2011, according to a CMS analysis.

While he repeatedly attempted to hide his condition from the company, Jerry Lawler was sent to the hospital from Monday Night Raw to be checked on. His son, Brian Christopher, was the one that alerted management, who then forced the commentator to leave.
Apparently, Eva Marie has been hospitalized for some undisclosed injury. The WWE diva posted a message on Twitter from her hospital room during Monday Night Raw. She also noted that the E! network sent her some flowers as well.
"I was brought in by Hiro Matsuda to always be professional, don't ever question finishes. If a guy like Undertaker [wanted to beat me at WrestleMania], I wouldn't have had any problem putting him over, especially at WrestleMania. I understand ... that some guys might be frustrated but I don't understand what they would be frustrated about. It's one match in a career. If you have confidence in yourself, your career, and the big picture as far as where you're going, I don't think it hurts at all to put Undertaker over at WrestleMania."
- Lex Luger on Undertaker
After playing football collegiately for the University of Miami and professionally for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, Lex Luger made his way to the NFL when he signed with the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, though, he never played a single regular season game for the team.
Since the dangers of football has been a heavily discussed topic, Lex Luger, who had a brief stint in the NFL, defended the sport through his Twitter account.
"I know Sting loves his time in TNA but at the same time he's never told me he has refused the idea of ever going to WWE."

The Accidental Narcissist and the Future of Customer Engagement
Posted on June 5th 2014
Have you ever noticed that your Facebook News Feed is the digital equivalent to "It's a Wonderful Life?" Perhaps you've liked your Instagram stream to that of "Lifestyles of the Digital Rich and Internet Famous."
In each network, and across multiple social streams, you're fed a visual buffet of travel, food, fashion, celebrations, which in assemblage, tell the story of life well lived or at least a life well curated. And at the center of each of these experiences is the person living and sharing them in real time. Every day that passes, it seems that a growing network of our friends, family and colleagues are charmed with this picturesque life.
But who are we kidding? We not only described pretty much everyone in our social networks, but we might as well be talking about ourselves too. It's a social world after all and shared experiences are the epicenter of a growing majority of engagement. As such, we're introduced to new law of social physics if you will where for every action there is an equal or greater reaction. The truth is that social sharing is part self-expression and also part provocation. People share to communicate who they are or want to be while concurrently hoping to incite a reaction that validates or substantiates their intended online persona.
This may seem like a personal discussion, but I can assure you that this also has everything to do with your business.
I'd like to officially introduce you to your connected customer. I believe it's about time we get to know the connected set to better understand how to engage them in social and mobile networks now and throughout the entire customer lifecycle.
It's All About You and Me…But Mostly Me
If you're reading this then you're most likely the very person you're trying to reach. You're connected, always on, unabashedly multitasking, and living across multiple screens each and every day. You live a digital lifestyle and without realizing it, you and others like you, are gradually exhibiting slivers of narcissism. Believe me, I say this with the utmost discretion. You can't help it of course. These networks prompt you to share your world, your way, all day, every day. And each time we do, we contribute to our egosystem where we by default become the center of our own digital universe. Experiences and engagement therefore represent the orbits that bring us together.
Let's visit planet Facebook and its orbiting moon Instagram for a moment. Facebook is now home to over one billion digital denizens. To put that in perspective, that's roughly about ~12 percent of planet earth. Instagram is a fledgling digital society in its own right. At 100 million residents and counting, a culture of sharing one's experiences is further enhanced by the ability to instantly enhance them with a creative filter, broadcast them across multiple networks and earn the attention and reaction of a boundless and seemingly idle audience.
The question is, if everyone is busy sharing content, then who is consuming it? This is also the law of social attraction. It's a reciprocal relationship where to earn reactions, one must equally or progressively react. How do you do that if the real-time web moves in well, real-time?
The Age of Prevalence
Understanding digital behavior has never known greater importance. It's evolving and we need to appreciate its velocity and impact. For example, on Facebook, conversations lose momentum in an hour give or take. The reason for this is because people consume until they create. As they create, expectations shift as characteristics of narcissm take over. What about Instagram? Allow me to share some revealing behavioral stats that will make you say, "wow."
Statigram is a third-party tool that tracks activity Instagram. According to a fascinating article in pdn (Photo District News) written by Kathleen Hay, Statigram tracked the number of photos tagged 'selfie,' social slang for self portrait (yes, that's a thing.) At 11 p.m. PST on December 28th 2012, the number of selfies numbered at a noteworthy 5.5 million. The egostyem wouldn't be the same without the "me" in social media. At the same time, photos tagged 'me' completely eclipsed 'selfie' with a staggering 72.6 million self-portraits. Added together, you start to get the picture of just how prominent the egosystem is becoming.
In the article, Hay introduces us to Dr. Jean M. Twenge, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology and author of Generation Me and co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement. The titles alone convey that connected consumerism is nothing like the conventional customers you once knew. To better understand the crux of selfies and the digital "me", Twenge explains that at the core of narcissism is this invention or aspiration that people are better or more important than in reality. In the digital realm however, perception is reality.
Agree or disagree, this is your connected customer. And in many ways, you and those you know are among them. Knowing this, it's time to get some answers.
First, how can you re-imagine your engagement strategies to align with and inspire the "me" in social media so that your brand, promise or vision becomes an active part of self-expression?
Second, how does or how can my brand evoke an experience that elicits self-expression?
Lastly, how will my brand become part of the egosystem and create a gravitational pull for others to orbit?
The answers just might change the way you see and engage your customers.

Nothing Special
Maybe its just me - but I cannot really tell the difference between the Cutex brand and othe brands. It does the job pretty well, but I have to soak a cotton pad and hold it on my nail for 10-15 seconds before it comes off cleanly. Its goof that it comes in a few different types depending on what your nails need.
Rating: Sep 29, 2009 11:44am
Love the nourishing polish remover
Great affordable nail polish remover doesn't dry out my hands after I use it nor does it have a highly potent smell.Would recommend to anyone with dry/cracked hands after a gentle remover

Following revisits from Starkey, Nightwave and Tomb Crew, this second batch of reworkings of facepaint fan Drums of Death packs an equally tough punch. Sinden gives "The Jerk" a driving bleep-lead plus some fluid garage basslines for his Teutonic remix, while Austrian Joyce Muniz endows "Bang The Drum" with a textbook example of her deep and sparky house nous. Excellent contributions from Aug Epic, Whole Sick, Debukas and Clouds make this yet another must-hear remix set.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Former New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey has reached a settlement with a former teammate he sued over a bogus investment deal.
A court filing Monday says Shockey and former Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs both resolved their claims against former Saints long snapper Kevin Houser. Terms were confidential.
Several teammates and coaches sued Houser for allegedly advising them to invest roughly $1.9 million to buy nonexistent tax credits from a defunct movie studio.
Saints head coach Sean Payton reached a separate settlement with Houser last month. Former Saints defensive end Charles Grant still has claims pending against Houser that are scheduled to be tried later this month.
Wayne Read, who once ran Louisiana Film Studios LLC, is the only person to face criminal charges over the investment deal.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen' Rise to the Top
You can't imagine two films more different than 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen,' but right now the two of them sit on top of the box office chart, both temporarily linked by the fact that a bunch of people apparently wanted to see them this weekend. It's the first time in forever that two films have opened to over $30 million at the same time...but it wasn't golden for all of the new releases.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oz' Still Reigns Supreme
For the second week in a row, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' lived up to its title and dominated the box office. One of the newcomers managed to fare surprisingly well in the face of Sam Raimi's blockbuster...but another simply got crushed.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oz the Great and Powerful' Saves the Box Office
After a series of increasingly dire weeks at the box office, 'Oz the Great and Powerful' arrived and shook things up in a major way, earning the first truly massive opening weekend of 2013 and setting the table for all kinds of Oz-related content in the near future. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is something that we'll let you judge.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Jack the Giant Slayer' Bombs
'Jack the Giant Slayer' may have taken the number one spot at the box office, but no one is celebrating -- it may sit at the top, but it sits at the top of one of the weakest box office weekends since, well, last weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: A Good Day to be 'A Good Day to Die Hard'
In retrospect, it's easy to say "Of course the new 'Die hard' movie was going to open at number one at the box office!" but you can bet Bruce Willis and company were a little worried. After all, 'A Good Day to Die Hard' opened in the wake of the failure of 'The Last Stand,' 'Parker' and 'Bullet to the Head,' three other macho, R-rated movies starring modern action icons. However, the strength of the 'Die Hard' brand seems to have broken that trend: John McClane's fifth outing made $25 million over the weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Identity Thief' Steals $36 Million
Is Melissa McCarthy a movie star yet? The opening weekend of 'Identity Thief' suggests that yes, she is. After all, all of those people weren't flocking to this movie because of Jason Bateman (as delightful as he is). Anyway, all of this pretty much means that McCarthy's asking price just doubled.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hobbit' Leads a Weak Weekend
Something went horribly wrong this weekend. Despite a few high profile new releases and the mere presence of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' this weekend's box office was, uh...not great. What happened here?
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hobbit' Breaks December Records
Was there ever any doubt that 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' was going to dominate this weekend? Heck, it's probably going to dominate next weekend, too. If audiences embrace it like they did 'Lord of the Rings,' it may even dominate the week after that. The big question now is whether or not Peter Jackson's return to Middle Earth will make a bunch of money, but exactly how many bunches.
Weekend Box Office Report: Bond is Back on Top
There's no use beating around the bush here -- this was a pretty dull weekend at the box office. There was only one new release, but it was a dump that bombed rather spectacularly and the rest of the line-up is essentially the same as last week, with only a few titles shuffling around. It's the the quiet before the storm...the storm being 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' which opens in a few days.
Weekend Box Office Report: Everyone Wins on Thanksgiving
Many Americans found themselves with four days off last week, ostensibly so they could go see their family and eat turkey and celebrate Thanksgiving from the comfort of their homes. Instead, they went to the movies. In fact, this was the biggest Thanksgiving box office of all time. Congratulations, America!
