SAN DIEGO, Nov. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Home Cash Profits is an online job opportunity that has come under scrutiny for their somewhat shady advertising methods. The job is advertised as a position posting links for large corporations such as Apple, Amazon and NETFlix. Unfortunately the marketing of this job has led many to wonder as to the veracity of the opportunity.
The company is usually promoted using spam emails to inform potential job seekers about a news article that promotes the Home Cash Profits program. However, those who look carefully will realize that this news article does not come from the purported news source that it claims to be from (in most cases MSNBC) but from another unrelated domain. The URL of the site makes it seem like a legitimate MSNBC or other news article by carefully stringing together a number of sub-domain names.
Because these methods lead people to trust the opportunity, many job seekers have signed up for the position without doing any actual research on the company. Because they do not have all the details, they are usually left confused and upset when the program turns out not to be what they expected.
Many people have taken this as a sure sign that the company is not being honest about itself. However, representatives from the company have stated on many complaint forums that those who are spreading the fake news articles are affiliates of the company who are operating on their own. They hold that they discourage the practice and are looking for ways to find and penalize those who are using this method of advertising.
However, there are those who continue to state that if this were so and the company really was trying to crack down on the problem, it would be very easy to do so and there wouldn't be such a proliferation of the untruthful advertisements spreading online. They claim that the company is only issuing these statements as a disclaimer and that they really have no intention of putting a stop to the unethical advertising practices which it, or as they claim, the affiliates are using.
Whatever the truth may bit, it is clear that those who are interested in the Home Cash Profits system need to do their utmost to research the opportunity before they become involved with it. As with all internet business opportunities, due diligence is needed as there are many unscrupulous individuals and companies who would seek to take advantage of those who are simply looking to earn an honest living online.
This is the reason that so many experts urge online entrepreneurs and job seekers to always be on guard and research even the most attractive looking offers. People should especially be on guard when a company already has some controversy surrounding it, such as Home Cash Profits does. Those interested in the opportunity should look at as much information as they can on the company and read as many Home Cash Profits reviews as they need to so that they can make a wise and well-informed decision on the company.Media Contact:

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- Ulticom, the industry leader in signaling software solutions, announces deployment of the Ulticom Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC) product in a leading IPX/LTE Hubbing network through their OEM partnership with Mavenir Systems.
This deployment leverages the Software Solution from Mavenir/Ulticom to enable Cloud based delivery of LTE Roaming DEA services. This solution enables network operators to interconnect their network with other providers without having to field and maintain a physical DEA. The solution simplifies the introduction of LTE Roaming, and allows individual network operators to start with minimal investment and grow with the increasing demand.
Mavenir Systems' solution consists of large scale Ulticom DSCs serving as a central router at the core of the network. Arrayed around the network are DSCs serving in the role of Diameter Edge Agents (DEA).
The IPX/LTE Hub deploys DEAs in a Cloud Computing infrastructure, leveraging virtualization and cloud technologies enabling other network operators to select the DEA deployment solution that best meets their needs. As capacity requirements change, the approach supports easy expansion strategies. Mobile Network Operators can then individually choose to use DEA functionality hosted in the Cloud or deploy DEAs using virtual or dedicated hardware at the edge of their networks.
Mavenir is a leading provider of software-based networking solutions for mobile service providers to deliver high-quality internet protocol (IP)-based voice, video, rich communications and enhanced messaging services globally.
"The ability to virtualize services is a key strategy for Mavenir and opens up a whole new approach for service delivery, well suited to IPX providers," said Terry McCabe, Chief Technology Officer, Mavenir Systems. "The Ulticom Diameter Signaling Controller is the first step to deployment of hosted services such as RCS."
"Ulticom's software-based DSC provides a powerful, cost effective solution that leverages Cloud Computing and Virtualization technologies. The combination enables new business models for network operators," said Bruce Swail, CEO of Ulticom. "Working with innovative OEM partner, Mavenir Systems, we look forward to additional exciting solutions for the emerging VoLTE and RCS markets."
The Ulticom DSC provides Mobile Network Operators, Roaming Hub Operators, and Telecom Equipment Manufacturers with a turn-key, Linux-based software solution that can be incrementally deployed as a stand-alone system, as was the solution at Mavenir, or can be easily integrated into new or existing products.
Ulticom's DSC is a Centralized Router, a Diameter Load Balancer, a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA), or a Diameter Edge Agent (DEA). DEA functionality supports LTE Roaming while DRA functionality provides advanced policy management signaling routing (IP-CAN Binding). Ulticom's Diameter Product Family provides the ability to interwork between Diameter and SS7 networks -- enabling 2G-3G-4G integration.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

The White House talked with former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about a possible cabinet position in the Obama administration halfway through the president's first term, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The discussion came as the actor-turned-moderate-Republican-politician was moving out of the governor's mansion in Sacramento, where he served seven years after replacing his predecessor in a recall election.
Schwarzenegger, who will be returning to the big screen with the release of "The Expendables 2" next week, has not been shy about his political aspirations.
In a July 2008 interview on ABC's "This Week," Schwarzenegger told host George Stephanopoulos that he would pick up the phone if then-presidential contender Barack Obama rang him about an energy-related cabinet position.
Schwarzenegger, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Austria, has also said he would pursue the presidency if the Constitution permitted it.
Also on HuffPost:
Birth Certificate -- "Born In The USA"
(April 27, 2011) -- The White House released President Barack Obama's "long form" birth certificate, adding documentation to a longstanding discussion over his ability to serve as commander in chief. "We do not have time for this kind of silliness," Obama said. "We have better stuff to do. I have got better stuff to do. We have got big problems to solve." (JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/Getty Images)
Osama Bin Laden Killed -- "Tonight, Tonight"
(May 1, 2011) -- In a televised address to the nation, Obama announces that Osama bin Laden is dead. His death was the result of a U.S. operation launched today in Abbottabad, Pakistan, against a compound where bin Laden was believed to be hiding. "[T]oday's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the American people," Obama proclaimed. (Photo by Pete Souza/The White House via Getty Images)
Debt Ceiling Deal -- "Gold On The Ceiling"
(Aug. 2, 2011) -- After the Senate passed a bill to raise the debt limit, Obama pleaded with Congress to shift their attention to jobs. "I will urge them to immediately take some steps -- bipartisan, common-sense steps -- that will make a difference; that will create a climate where businesses can hire, where folks have more money in their pockets to spend, where people who are out of work can find good jobs," he said. (Photo by Brendan Smialowski/Getty Images)
Don't Ask Don't Tell -- "Don't Stop Believin'"
(Sept. 20, 2011) -- As the ban on gays serving in the military came to an end, Obama hailed the fresh start, celebrating the fact that "patriotic Americans in uniform will no longer have to lie about who they are in order to serve the country they love." (Photo by Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images)
Iraq War To End -- "Homeward Bound"
(Oct. 21, 2011) -- Obama announced that all U.S. troops will be out of Iraq by 2011, fulfilling a promise that dated back to his campaign. "As a candidate for president, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end," Obama said. "So today I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year." (Photo credit should read JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images)
Singing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together"
(Jan. 20, 2012) -- During a fundraiser at Harlem's historic Apollo Theater, Obama delivered a memorable musical message to his donors. With Rev. Al Green in attendance, Obama sang part of Green's hit song "Let's Stay Together," drawing strong applause from the crowd.
Singing Robert Johnson's "Sweet Home Chicago"
(Feb. 21, 2012) -- Days after his Al Green rendition, Obama flexed his vocal chords again with a hometown favorite. The East Room of the White House had its blues fix filled when the president started swinging "Sweet Home Chicago."
Gay Marriage -- "Can't Fight This Feeling"
(May 9, 2012) -- In a sit-down interview with ABC's Robin Roberts, Obama explained his evolution on the issue, affirming his support for gay marriage. "[A]t a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," he said.
Immigration -- "With Arms Wide Open"
(June 15, 2012) -- The Obama administration addressed America's immigration issue, announcing that it will halt deportations and grant work permits to young individuals eligible for Dream-Act benefits. "They pledge allegiance to our flag," Obama said. "They are Americans in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper."(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
Health Care Reform -- "Beautiful Day"
(June 28, 2012) -- After weeks of speculation that Obama's signature piece of legislation could be overturned, the Supreme Court ruled that the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate is constitutional. "It should be pretty clear that I didn't do this because it's good politics," Obama said. "I did it because it's good for the country." (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

The sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Mircrosoft CEO Steve Ballmer is now only pending approval from the NBA's Board of Governors after the resolution of a dispute over the rightful owner of the team, the NBA has announced. The resolution means the NBA termination hearing scheduled for June 3 has been canceled. Once the NBA Board of Governors approves the sale to Ballmer, the franchise will officially be his.
Mrs. Sterling and the Sterling Family Trust have also agreed not to sue the league and to indemnify the NBA against a potential lawsuit from Donald Sterling or others. That could put a wrap on this saga once and for all.
Sterling Lawsuit
Ballmer reached an agreement with Shelly Sterling on Thursday to acquire the team for an NBA record $2 billion. Since the report of the agreement became public knowledge, Donald Sterling has done everything he could to fight for control of the franchise. It was reported that Donald Sterling planned on filing a $1 billion lawsuit against the NBA on Thursday for damages brought forth by the league's lifetime ban.
Sterling bought the Clippers in 1981 for $12.5 million. He was given a lifetime ban from commissioner Adam Silver in April after a recording of racist remarks surfaced on TMZ.

Spoon To Release New Album 'They Want My Soul' This August
Written by Greg Moskovitch on 12th June, 2014
Having taken their longest break between records, Spoon have finally returned to their fans with a new album, They Want My Soul, after leaving them hungry and rabid for four years. The Austin veterans' long awaited eighth offering is set for release on Friday, 1st August via Spunk Records.
"Between 2001 and 2010, we put out five records, which is not a lot by '60s standards. But in terms of today… it's pretty fast," singer Britt Daniel told NPR. "We just needed a break. And when we got back together, I felt that that break was a good thing. And we were all excited about playing again."
Pre-orders for the album go live this Friday, with an exclusive bundle available to die-hard fans that includes a limited edition glow-in-the-dark vinyl LP, a t-shirt, and handwritten lyric sheets. The first 100 bundle orders will receive an autographed set of lyric sheets and all pre-orders placed through iTunes and Spoon's official website come with an instant download of the new single Rent I Pay.

Fears grow for missing man Mark Gibbens from Southampton
Updated 11:50am Wednesday 7th May 2014 in News By Melanie Adams, Crime Reporter
CONCERNS are growing for a Hampshire man who has been missing for a week.
Mark Gibbens, who suffers from a mental health condition, was last seen on Wednesday and officers are worried that he may not have taken his medication with him.
The 36-year-old, whose real name is Stuart, but uses his middle name Mark, lives in Anson Drive and usually wears sports clothes and carries a rucksack.
PC Ben Allen, who is part of the team investigating, said: "We're concerned about Mark as he is vulnerable and has a mental health condition. He is on medication and we don't know if he took this with him.
"We'd like to reassure Mark if he sees this appeal, that he isn't in any trouble, we just need to know that he's safe and well.
"If you know Mark and have seen him recently we'd like to hear from you."
He is described as being 5ft 10ins tall, of a large build, with close cropped or shaved blonde hair.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Southampton East Targeted Patrol team by phoning 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Turquoise Blue and Black Fire Agate Beads
Count : avg 64 beads / strand
Style / Shape : Faceted Round
This stone emerged a few years ago as 'fire agate'. To avoid confusion with true fire agate (which is rare and very expensive), it is now increasingly being referred to as 'crab fire agate'. No matter what you call it, this is a truly unique and beautiful stone! Crab fire agate beads have a glowing rusty orange color with scattered veins of gray-white. Rather than having the distinctive banded appearance of many agates, crab fire agate has a 'crackled' look. The web-like pattern of white crackles is created via heat treatment, and color enhancement produces the fiery blues, oranges, reds, browns and other colors Fire Agates come in. Some of the beads are translucent and seem to glow from within.

All of the American heroes on the honor flight leave early Wednesday, but the public is invited to welcome them back at the airport later that evening.

Realization: I am, without a doubt, just a plain old human being. I know. Devastating, really.
Tonight, I'm thinking of "the drift."
The drift occurs when the emotional space between two people expands at a seemingly infinitesimal, yet constant rate. It is what begins as forgetting to return a phone call and ends in a faint memory of someone you knew quite well a very long time ago. The drift is painful, hopeless and, 99% of the time, permanent. There is no "un-drifting" once you've drifted.
When you walked in, I felt a peaceful knowing in my heart that we were going to have great adventures together. You looked shy. I knew you had no idea how beautiful you were. I was going to show you that.
I mean, for me, my life is full. I have to make room for everything, anything. If I want to breathe, I have to look at my to do list. I have a space between 11:45 and 11:50… I can breathe in those five minutes or I can make an awkward phone call. I barely have time for the people with whom I have relationships that are not awkward and forced, so who needs that?
As I convinced you that you were just as beautiful on the outside as you were on the inside, you taught me to believe that I was brave, wise and strong. With you by my side, I no longer had to pretend to be that. I was that… because you saw that when you saw me. Your eyes made me real.
People will say things.
"Make time to fix this thing."
"Friendship is important."
"Hold on."
"Don't let go."
And other lyrics from ".38 Special."
Others understand. This is who I am. My life is this way because I want it to be this way. I seriously don't have time for this kind of thing.
Even when there were oceans between us, we were inseparable. Two thumps in one heartbeat… blood rushing in, blood rushing out. Absent from the day to day of each others' lives, one phone call would cascade in a blanket of reassurance. You are loved, blood in, you are perfect, blood out.
We're all grown ups here and while I realize that some people prefer their reality sugar coated, I'm more of the "hold the sugar, give it to me straight up" kind of woman. My heart is too full and my life is just too busy to harbor a silly, childish hope that we can just pick up right where we left off. There is now only time for picking up socks and groceries and kids from practices.
You loved, accepted and admired me without any reservation or envy and, most importantly, without any expectation. You are the only person I have never feared I'd disappoint. If I am honest with myself, no one had ever loved me like that, nobody has loved me like that since, and I suspect that nobody ever will.
When the drift happens, it happens because it's what both of the people want. People will fight to protect something they need. People let things that are no longer relevant to them fade away. Either way, it's important to note that everyone in the situation is making a choice.
Conscientiousness optional.
I looked up one day and you were simply not there anymore. I was hurt, alone and, yes, a little angry. Babies have been born, rings exchanged, people buried. Suddenly, I realized that I couldn't even remember the last time I looked in your direction. I also realize that nobody seems to ask whose fault it is when a book ends. This isn't much different.
The drift itself, while painful, is not the excruciating thing. The real pain shows up when it hits you that there will probably be more drifts and that everyone is a potential drift candidate.
You will never be replaced. I cannot move on. There is no "letting go" of you. There is only an ache in my heart, a lump in my throat, and the horrible realization that there is nothing I can do. I don't know you anymore and you don't know me and we are past the point of pretending with any degree of credibility that this is not the reality of who we are to each other. I cannot pretend this is not happening anymore.
The drift is the best reason to hold the people still in your life a little tighter today. Because those moments after a drift, you'll find the certainty that all this won't last forever firmly, if not tragically, renewed. Sometimes, you've got to just take a deep breath somewhere between 11:45 and 11:50 and pay attention to right now. This minute. Here.

Sybil Law says:
Yes – I think the only person I can't imagine drifting away from is Gilda, although I suppose that happens in families, too. Of course, it'll happen to some extent when she's older in general, but hopefully not to that extent!
Also, I prefer the drift to some drama filled, angsty, emotional agreement, I guess.
Faiqa says:
I don't know. At least, with the drama/angst, there's closure. I hate open ended stuff. It drives me nuts.
Megan says:

I know this to be true. Certainly there are people in our lives who are forever, and there are people who are there for a season. As painful as it can be, we need to trust the process.
I hope the drift never happens to us.
Faiqa says:
I value our relationship a lot, more so than I tell you. I hope that it doesn't happen to us, too. Better than that, I will work so that it doesn't.
Liza says:
wow. that was beautiful said faiqa.
Faiqa says:
Thanks, Liza.
Sahar says:
I hope I never drift away from our friendship. You and your family are just too special to let go off easily.
I have friends from childhood that I might not speak with for six months, but then when we do finally get a chance to connect, it really is as if not a day has passed by since we last spoke (minus all the catching up).
BUT!!! with all that said, I do need to better myself in the "keeping in touch" department.
Love you.
Faiqa says:
Honestly? You are very unique in my life — a very rare person that I can pick up with any time. It doesn't matter how different our lives have been or how similar, you are like family to me… but even more than family. I definitely feel that "not a day has passed" thing with you every time I see you and always wonder why we don't see each other more often. (Well, now, there's a good reason, but you know what I mean). I love you, too.
the muskrat says:
I'm sorry…let's be friends again.
Faiqa says:
I don't know. I'm pretty attached to the idea of at the very least knowing where you hide the bodies. Give me a location. I promise I won't tell ANYONE.
Luda says:
Heart-breaking. I want to argue with every word of this, because it's too heart-breaking. But I can't, because every word of this is true.
Faiqa says:
Comments like this make me feel better. At least I know it's not just me. Thanks.
hello haha narf says:
powerful piece.
Faiqa says:
Thanks, hon. XO back at you.
JW Moxie says:
This hits me in a way that I can't even fully verbalize what it makes me feel.
Thank you. I needed to read this today.
Faiqa says:
You're welcome. Love to you.
Liz says:
I hate when I realize that I'm drifting from someone. It's heartbreaking. I do have a couple of friends, though, that we drift for a while and then always end up right back next to each other. It's definitely not always permanent — and sometimes, you can even go back. I guess it just depends on the initial strength of the relationship, and whether anyone wants to rekindle.
There are, however, a couple of people I've drifted from whom I really miss, and no matter how many times I've made the effort to rebuild, they remain distant. "Yeah, let's get together!" they'll say, but we both know we won't. It's sad, but I've discovered the ones I hold on to are more worth it.
Faiqa says:
I think part of it has to do with when one or both parties become complicit in their silence about the awkwardness. Honestly, the drift happens when there's not much fight left in each person… or even one person in the relationship.
Lisa says:
This is so true, as much as it's hard to accept. That said, I do have a couple of friends I'm able to do that not talking for a while/pick up where you left off thing, and I treasure that. It's very rare though and generally requires a long relationship.
Faiqa says:
I have that, too. I'm a little confused by this particular situation because I really thought this specific relationship was one of those one where I could always pick up. It kind of hit me out of nowhere.
Miss Britt says:
Please let's not ever drift, OK?
Faiqa says:
I think both of us are too committed (or lack the self control) to being honest with ourselves and with one another to let that happen. I said in an earlier reply that this drift seems to happen when things are left unsaid and the awkwardness just grows because it's left unaddressed. I think you and me together are just incapable of letting awkwardness sit unattended. Thankfully. So, to answer your question: okay.
Faiqa says:
*"lack the self control" it takes to push things down until we forget about them. I'm so incapable that I admire people who can do that… how strange is THAT?
Miss Britt says:
That's not self control, that's self delusion or emotional immaturity!
Deb Rox says:
So much truth here, elegantly spoken. Oh, our hearts.
Faiqa says:
Thanks, my friend.
RW says:
From time to time you seem to touch a side of me I usually bury quite well with my poorly pretended dash and elan. If you were to whittle away all my artifice and phony airs, you would probably find farina for a soul here. I'm not sure who, in your past, this is addressed to but whoever it is is an idiot for allowing the drift. This is nicely done, Faiqa.
Faiqa says:
Often people use words like "honored" and engage in hyperbolic expressions about how wonderful a comment is or how it si the best. It's taken me a while to respond to this because I was trying to construct a response that would not emulate that. And I couldn't. I am not someone who cares about what most people think, but am one who is very concerned with a few people think. You are one of those few. This comment meant very much to me. In the scores of comments I've gotten over the years, this is one of the best. If not the best. Thank you, my friend, I am honored by your words.
Jack@TheJackB says:
Bittersweet and beautiful- but also one line that made me snort out loud:
And other lyrics from ".38 Special."
Faiqa says:
It made me snort out loud, too.
Robin says:
I know about "The Drift" and have experienced it several times…notably as we speak. I feel like I am drifting away from several people in my life that I dearly love. I think "the drift" is part of life because "friendships" are so fluid and people grow and change. Unfortunately, some of us grow apart rather than together.
I know I probably sound really negative about this (totally not my intention!!!!), but sometimes, the best way to move on is to see the situation for what it IS rather than what you want it to be and try to live accordingly.
Faiqa says:
No, you don't sound negative. There is negative and then there is calling it like it is. I think you did the latter. Here's to the you who is becoming.
Moira says:
Just found your blog and needed to read this. Thank you from my heart, Faiqa!
Faiqa says:
You are welcome… from my heart.

Letters to the Editor
Vietnam's problems caused by U.S. actionI don't understand why you give so much space to Cal Thomas. In Tuesday's column ("If protesters got their way, consequences would be deadly," Jan. 30, Perspective) he once again gets his facts completely mixed up. Vietnam is doing just fine today. The cause for the millions of deaths in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during the war is much more easily explained as a function of American intervention. - Tom Turner Duluth Clinton wouldn't put nation before herself The main priority of the president is to protect the United States and its citizens. President Bush understands that. Hillary Clinton also knows it full well, yet contends that it will be "the height of irresponsibility" if the war on terror spills into the next presidency (which she obviously expects to win). I thought I had suffered through the height of irresponsibility during her husband's term, when he was too "busy" with Monica Lewinsky to take out Osama bin Laden, despite having multiple opportunities to do so. Clinton voted to use military force in Iraq but condemns every move Bush employs to support her vote. When pressed to defend her vote, she skirts the issue and jokes about her ability to deal with "evil and bad men." (Most people assume she was speaking of her husband). Very funny. Ha-ha. There are evil and bad men out there who would love to destroy America. We need presidents with the backbone to deal with that reality, not someone who just wants a comfy position with power.

Jane Kidd as chairwoman last weekend mainly to attract female voters to the Democratic Party.That far-fetched idea must have been meant as a joke. Sure, some women have abandoned the Democrats. But losing a relative handful of female votes in the governor's election is hardly the donkeys' No. 1 problem. Making it OK for white Georgia men to say they vote Democratic is by far the most difficult and important task facing the new chair.
Cagle school improvement package clears Senate committee
ATLANTA - The Senate Education Committee Tuesday approved Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle's prescription for school improvement in Georgia, but not without opposition from Democrats and concerns from teacher groups.Voting 4-3 along party lines, the panel sent to the full Senate legislation that would allow entire public school systems to seek charter status from the state. The nearly 70 charter schools now operating in Georgia had to apply individually for the designation. The committee then voted 5-2 in favor of a bill aimed at increasing the number of "career academies" across the state. Cagle, a Republican, is seeking $1 million in next year's budget to launch an additional five career academies, a form of charter school that works in partnership with local technical colleges. The state Department of Education gives charter schools greater flexibility to manage their own affairs than traditional public schools enjoy, most significantly a waiver of state and federal regulations. In return, the schools enter into contracts with the state in which they agree to meet certain performance standards. They can lose their charters if they fail to hold up their end of the agreement. "This is about local control of schools in the true sense of the word," said Sen. Dan Weber, R-Dunwoody, the committee's chairman, who introduced both bills on Cagle's behalf. Supporters who addressed the committee on Tuesday said students in charter schools outperform students in traditional public schools. David Jernigan, principal of KIPP WAYS Academy, a charter middle school in Atlanta, said its first class of students several years ago raised their scores on a national basic skills test by 39 percent in language arts, 29 percent in reading and 41 percent in math, all in one year. He said the school is all black, and 87 percent of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. "We are closing the achievement gap that is being talked about all over our state," he said. Under the bill, school districts interested in becoming charter systems would apply to a nine-member advisory committee appointed by the state Board of Education, the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the Georgia House. The committee would make recommendations to the board, which would have the final say. Charter systems would be governed by councils made up of principals, teachers and parents. The councils would have control over curriculum, food, transportation and allocation of resources. "It's based on one size does not fit all," Weber said. "Unique needs of students are best met if those closest to them are empowered to make decisions." But Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, who voted against both bills, said he's not sure where that would leave local school boards. "An individual charter school is one thing," he said. "But for the school board to delegate its authority to a school council, I'd like to see if that's constitutional." Fort and representatives of teacher groups also argued waiving of government mandates would leave teachers in charter schools without job protections that are extended to teachers in other public schools, including salary scales, performance evaluations and fair-dismissal rights. "There should be a 'good-cause' clause if you're going to terminate a teacher," said Jody Grogan of the Georgia Association of Educators. Angela Palm of the Georgia School Boards Association said her organization supports the bills in concept. But she warned of nuances that lawmakers and educators will have to work through, including the likelihood that charter school systems will need more money than traditional schools. "This is uncharted territory," she said. "It doesn't mean we shouldn't go there. It means we're going to have to feel our way through."

Lawmakers aiming to safeguard 'bioprivacy'
ATLANTA - The House soon will take up a bill aimed at protecting Georgians from invasive electronic snooping made possible by technological innovation, the head of a legislative study committee said Tuesday."Georgians want to be forward looking with technology,'' said Rep. Ed Setzler, R-Acworth, chairman of the House Biological Privacy Study Committee. "But they want to make sure that basic privacy rights are protected.'' The study committee was formed to examine the impacts emerging technologies such as retinal scans, DNA profiling and radio frequency identification - the implanting of personal data into ID cards that can be downloaded from a remote location - could have on individuals' right to privacy. Setzler presented the panel's findings on Tuesday, outlining legislation he plans to introduce later this week setting limits on "biometric'' information government agencies, schools or private businesses could obtain from employees, students, customers or criminal defendants. The bill would allow businesses to fingerprint workers if it is related to their work duties. For example, a bank could require fingerprints for employees to access its vault, Setzler said. But schools would not be allowed to require fingerprinting of students, nor would retail businesses be permitted to require customers to be fingerprinted to enter their stores or complete a sales transaction. The bill also would prohibit the tracking of individuals through "remotely readable'' microchips implanted into ID cards. "That is a profound violation of individual privacy,'' Setzler said. Setzler said the bill would not seek to widen the permissible use of DNA profiling in crime fighting. Current law already allows authorities to take DNA samples from convicted felons and - with a warrant - from criminal suspects. "Our biggest concern is if they change it to allow the taking of DNA prior to a conviction,'' said Sara Totonchi, public policy director for the Atlanta-based Southern Center for Human Rights. "(But) that's not even on the table.'' The legislation also will include a provision requiring collectors of biometric information to give written disclosures to those whose data they have on file. Personal information could only be used for specific purposes. To prevent identity theft, third parties that seek personal information on individuals from a data collector would have to get the person's permission. Felony violators could receive up to three years in prison and be fined up to $5,000. Maggie Garrett, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said her organization is excited about the bill. "We think it's important to protect people's privacy."

Every day it's something new -- Fri (2) | Community
The chapel at the University of the Pacific is busy this Friday with people getting married on 11-11-11. This couple, Bret and Andrea Bailey, even timed things so they'd be at the altar at 11 am, on 11-11-11. It might seem gimmicky to get married at a time or on a date--simply because of the lineup of numbers, but for Bret, this was important for an entirely different reason. It was to honor his late father, who couldn't be here, but served proudly in the military. Congratulations to the Baileys. We also shot a wedding at UOP on 10-10-10. It's a good bet we'll be back in just over a year, on 12-12-12.

Well, after several days of browsing, snipping, arranging and pasting I finally finished my long awaited collage last evening. It is now proudly displayed on our fridge door and my husband joked about how excited I was to be doing it. If you haven't done one, I highly recommend it!
Well, after I finished my blog my husband asked me the significance of each picture and it was so easy to tell him that I thought I would share it with all of you.
FRIENDS - That is a shout out to my friend who suggested SparkPeople to me and to all of you, my newest friends, who encourage me more than you will ever know.
SPINACH, KASHI CEREAL, ALMONDS, APPLES, BROCCOLI, MILK AND MIXED VEGGIE - My favourite foods. .
RED RUBBER BOOTS - An inspiration for turning rainy, gloomy days into brighter ones by wearing funky, practical footwear. Imagine the fun I would have splashing in puddles! I am currently in the process of looking for a great pair of rain rubbers!
CANADIAN FLAG - Well, what can I say? I'm glad and proud to be a Canadian!
COMMITMENT "1" versus PROCRASTINATION "0" - my new motto
REFERENCE TO AND A PICTURE OF A REDHEAD - (look hard you will see a black wooden moustache magnet on the redhead's face) - After years of hating my colouring I'm finally embracing it. The moustache magnet (a recent present from my brother) is a silly reminder of the bond we share. I know he is encouraging me on!
START RUNNING - A reference to the fact that I want to start running! I'm not quite ready yet but it is one of my medium-term goals.
SUNFLOWER - The flowers we chose for Dad's memorial service....I still smile and think of him when I see sunflowers growing to their majestic heights.
FETCH - Refers to getting fit in the company of my dogs. With them it is totally fine to be silly and I'm not sure who has more fun with a stick or a ball!
HAPPY LIFE - NO REGRETS - If I was going to be buried that is what I would want on my tombstone....quite a choice for somebody living with depression.
LEATHER COAT - This reminds me of classic clothes that are meant to be worn and look better with age. It is also a subtle reminder that I will one day be able to wear non-plus sized clothes.
LEATHER RIDING BOOTS - This is another reminder of the lifestyle I want to live. Not that I'm a horse rider but I love that casual comfortable look. No stilettos for me. Oh, and it also reminds me that I long to wear boots without extra-wide calves!!!!
WATCH - A reminder to watch myself and to be accountable to myself!
PRESENT - A gentle reminder to look for the specialness of every day and not just special occasion ones. Maybe its is giving my dear Mom an unexpected gift or giving somebody the gift of my time.
I woke up this morning dreading the day as it was rainy and rather dull outside. As most of you know, I so battle with depression and have SAD (Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder) on top of that.
Anyway, I was sitting back feeling sorry for myself when I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started writing out how I felt. For every negative feeling, I came up with a positive one. I was amazed how quickly I started to feel better!
Just to give you two examples of things I wrote:
1. The weather is so rainy and gray. My response to this was, I have a nice little house, out of the rain. I have lights I can turn on if I find the darkness too much. And I also have a hood should I feel inspired to walk in the rain.
2. I have a mountain of laundry to do. My response to this was, I have a brand new washer and dryer downstairs that works wonderfully. I do not have to lug my laundry to a laundromat. I should be thankful for that.
Once I felt a wee bit better, we bundled up, stopped at Tim Hortons for a coffee and drove to our normal walking spot. We were just getting out of the car when the sun came out and we ended up walking for 60 minutes in t-shirts and jeans. Talk about having a great November day after all.
Just wanted to share my experience with you and I hope you are all enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon.
Hello Spark Friends~
My husband, Maddy, Lou, and I just returned from a walk in complete darkness and I have to say it was an "eye" opener! We walked in our normal spot where there is no traffic and although we did take a flashlight (just in case) it was really nice walking in the dark. It is a beautiful November evening with temperatures of 17 degrees (c) which is highly abnormal for here so it added to the charm of the evening.
Do you know how much you can actually see in the dark...it is amazing how quickly your eyes adjust and just how much light there are from the stars and moon. I highly recommend it!
Only once during our walk did I turn to my husband and say that I was glad I wasn`t scared off by watching too many episodes of Criminal Minds.....he laughed and then made a scary scream-like howl to see if I was really freaked out. Ha!
Hope you are all having a great weekend. Remember the clocks go back for some of us tomorrow night. I can`t wait to see daylight again when getting ready for work!
I'm in the process of making up my collage and so have been browsing through magazines etc. I found a very interesting article in the November 2010 issue of Self.
I'm trying to post a link but all I can do is post something you can copy and paste into your browser.
Here is a quick summary of what the article said:
1. Have a one track mind and focus on one area to change at a time.
2. Grunt, groan and sweat - they signal intensity which is better than slow and steady
3. Act oblivious to the exercisers around you. Focus on what you are doing and not what you look like.
4. Feed your ego. Ego is a powerful motivator...brag of your success.
5. Ditch the dinner drama - treat food as fuel and eat because you are hungry not out of stress or boredom.
6. Pump Iron. Strength training revs your metabolism
7. Don't overthink - just do it!
8. Eat real food! Not those low-calorie treats, or diet foods. Fill up on satisfying , real food.
9. Care about your stats - men tend to supplement their look-better goals with performance-based ones
10. Be a bit studly - apparently guys rarely doubt that they are going to succeed.
I can really relate with numbers 1 and 7 because I tend to over think everything and try to change too much at one time. Also, I'm guilty over not treating food as fuel. Sometimes I focus too much on calories instead of nutritional content.
Anyway, I thought this would be a great read for us female Sparkers!
Hope you are all doing well and are somehow embracing the start of yet another month. I'm doing well and for the past few days have actually managed to drink my 8 glasses of water. I think I have a path to the washroom at work beaten down but I'm hoping my body will soon get used to the increased fluids.
I bought another coat today but before you all think I'm a "fashionista" (not really sure how to spell that), let me assure you that my last purchase of a similar style coat was 6 years ago and was size 2x. It was on sale at Lands' End and I bought it through the mail. It was my first black coat in my life and now it is still fine but I'm very proud to say is too big for me. It also attracts dog fur like glue but that is my life story.
Anyway, today I bought myself a softshell type coat for walking. It is still a XXL but is a trim fit. I actually think it is too snug but I think I'm so used to having my clothes BIG that I no longer know what fits me!
So, what is so special about buying a coat? Nothing, really. But the fact that I bought my first item of red clothing in 44 years is a breakthrough! I'm a redhead and always felt my hair somehow clashed with red but when I tried this coat on it made my face look brighter.
I'm sort of the mindset that we can wear any colours we want as long as we have the confidence to do so, but I've always wore rather drab colours. Now, I'm stepping up a notch...a blue dress coat several weeks ago and now a reddish one! Oh yeah, and I bought my very first pair of dangly earrings today. I usually wear discreet studs or simple hoops but I'm branching out and I'm loving the me I'm turning into.
Thanks again for reading! Happy Sparking!

Levine, a San Rafael Democrat, was moved to carry this bill because of the disturbing uptick in suicide in the United States. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which is supporting the bill, suicide increased by 31 percent between 2000 and 2010. Nearly 4,000 Californians take their lives each year, and more than 48,000 attempt to do so.
Brown announced Friday that he had signed AB1163 by Democratic Assemblyman Marc Levine of San Rafael.
Local winemakers, local wine tasters - rejoice.
Gov. Jerry Brown has just signed AB2488, a bill that allows winegrowers who grow and bottle their own wine to offer tastings at certified farmers' markets all over the state...
AB2488, which was authored by state Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael...
"Legislation to redesignate Marin as a suburban county has never even gotten off the floor of the Assembly before," said Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, the bill's sponsor. "Now that it's just getting to the state Senate, we'll be working diligently to educate all senators on this issue."
Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, said his AB2198 follows recommendations from a 2012 report by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. The bill heads to the Senate after passing the Assembly on a 44-11 vote, just above the threshold needed for approval in the 80-member chamber.
"This will save lives and help us reverse the growing number of suicides in California," Levine told fellow lawmakers.
Levine's delivered on his promise to be responsive to voters, and his legislative record has generally reflected the sentiments of a majority in his district.
State Assemblymember Marc Levine discusses his first term, his campaign and much more.

Breaking the law
Original post made by Not so fast on Dec 19, 2007
"LAYING DOWN THE LAW ... December seems like a good time to review some of Palo Alto's lesser known laws, and their penalties. Raccoon sellers can be slapped with a $250 fine and those who keep bees close to a property line can be charged $100. Using a false name at a hotel might earn you a $50 fine, but landing your plane somewhere other than the airport will cost $1,000. If for those planning to dress up as Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto for Halloween, think again impersonating a public official will cost $250."
If this is the case why hasn't Ms Kishimoto been fined???
