Hooray for Hollywood…and MonaVie!
LOS ANGELES [August 2010] – At the 2010 Emmy Awards Weekend, a classy and radiant star set the red carpet afire and wowed audiences with a performance the Emmys would be proud to have nominated. That star was MonaVie (M)m?n, of course! MonaVie Chief Blogger Shante Schroeder and Social Media Promotions Manager Mike Jensen spoke with the Hollywood stars and media and handed out samples of MonaVie (M)m?n as part of the Emmy Style Lounge.
Actors stopped by from such popular shows as Glee, True Blood, The Gates, One Tree Hill, America's Next Top Model, Dexter, Days of Our Lives, Hung and Weeds. Movie stars from Avatar and The Expendables also came out.
The consensus among all who stopped by was that MonaVie (M)m?n is great. In fact, Eric Roberts, star of The Expendables, wanted more than a single bottle: he wanted an entire case! Stars that visited the MonaVie booth were also able to learn about MonaVie's charitable efforts in Brazil through The MORE Project. Actors were more than willing to put their autographs on a bottle of MonaVie (M)m?n that will be auctioned off at a later event to raise money for The MORE Project. MonaVie also ran a promotional giveaway of 2 SWAG bags to distributors who commented or re-tweeted MonaVie posts on Facebook and Twitter. Stay tuned as we will be announcing the winners shortly.
To see pictures of the event, go to MonaVie's Facebook page www.facebook.com/Monavie and click on "Photos."

1. Relaxing at the pool. You're bound to find some hotties poolside. Wear your cutest suit and just shoot the breeze. He's at the
pool to have a good time, and talking to you falls into that category! Start
off by asking to borrow his sunscreen, and then ask what he's up to for the
rest of the summer.
2. Lining up for a ride. The amusement park is a great place to find boys. They're
fun-loving and looking to have a nice time at the park. Ask him if he's tried
that one ride yet. Then once you're in a conversation, see if he wants to
ride some rides together. Finish it off with funnel cake
and lemonade.
3. Going for a run. Found: Your reason to start hitting the jogging trails. Not only do you get in shape, but you also meet some cuties. Go to a
place where lots of people go for runs in your town, be it the park or the gym.
Ask him if he's training for anything in particular, like if he runs at his school. If you're into exercise, you should ask him if he wants to
go for a run together some time. Hello running buddy!
4. Joining a summer team. What better way to meet athletic guys? Whether
it's an intense swim team or just pickup soccer, just go to have fun. Rusty with your kicking skills? Ask him to teach you that trick or two. Easy way to dust off your moves, both on and off the field.
5. Getting a summer job. Aside from making money, it'll also open
up a whole new pool of coworkers for you to crush on. Apply to work as a lifeguard or camp counselor. This is more natural—you'll get to know him easier being around him all the time.
6. Heading to the mall. The Apple store is full of
gadget-loving guys. If you see one playing a game, ask him to teach you how to
play it, too. These easy convo
starters can open things up. With the whole mall available to you two,
there are plenty of things to do from here. Hint: Head to the food court for more chit-chat time.
7. Chilling at coffee shop/ bookstore. Ask him what he's
drinking/ reading. Guys sitting alone in little shops are just begging to be
approached by girls. See if he has any book or coffee recommendations. The best part? If the convo doesn't lead to anything special, you'll get a lot of great reading ideas out
of it.
8. Hanging out at the park. A park, trail or any location in the
great outdoors presents plenty of adventurous cuties to talk to. Ask him if
you can join his game of frisbee, or, if you're feeling bold, bring some
friends and organize a group game of dodgeball. A guy who just wants to play
outside will be fun and down-to-earth, so keep your eyes open!

Depot Maintenance:
Army Needs Plan to Implement Depot Maintenance Report's Recommendations
GAO-04-220: Published: Jan 8, 2004. Publicly Released: Jan 8, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5581
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Each year, the U.S. Army spends about $3 billion on depot-level maintenance and repair work for weapons systems and other equipment. However, because its data gathering and reporting processes have been limited, the Army historically has been unable to fully identify how much depotlevel maintenance takes place outside its five public depots. As a result, it has not been able to determine with precision how well it was meeting statutory requirements to limit contracted depot-level maintenance work to 50 percent of the program budget. In the House report on the Fiscal Year 2001 Defense Authorization Act, Congress directed the Army to report on the proliferation of depot-level maintenance work at nondepot facilities and asked GAO to review that report. GAO examined the extent to which (1) the Army's report identifies the amount of depot-level maintenance work done outside public depots; (2) the Army can account for its depot-level maintenance workload, as required by statute; and (3) the corrective actions in the report are likely to address the proliferation issue and enhance the Army's reporting.
The Army's proliferation report, issued in September 2003, did not fully identify the extent of depot-level maintenance work performed outside the Army's public depots. The report estimated that the Army underreported its fiscal year 2001 $2.7 billion depot-level maintenance program by $188.6 million but indicated that this was a rough estimate and that further analysis is needed. It attributed this underreporting largely to work performed in two categories--work that met the criteria for depot-level maintenance work but was not reported as such and work at nondepot field facilities that involved depot-level maintenance tasks. GAO's prior reviews also identified these categories as key contributors to underreporting. While the report noted that the Army has an extensive maintenance infrastructure with redundant capabilities, it did not address the extent of this redundancy. The lack of complete information on the extent of depot-level maintenance workloads limits the Army's ability to fully account for this work in the Department of Defense's (DOD) annual report to Congress on the allocation of public- and private-sector depot-level maintenance spending. The 2003 proliferation report identified key Army limitations, including inconsistencies in applying the congressionally mandated definition of "depot maintenance," weaknesses in its management information systems, and the failure to follow established policies and procedures for authorizing depot-level maintenance work at nondepot facilities. GAO's current analysis and prior work confirmed that these limitations make it difficult for the Army to fully account for its maintenance workload as it moves closer to the 50 percent ceiling for work performed by contractors. GAO's most recent report on the Army's 50-50 reporting for fiscal year 2002 showed that, after adjustments for known underreporting, the percentage of private-sector work increased to 49 percent. If implemented, the 29 recommendations in the 2003 report could enhance the Army's ability to report on its 50-50 data and to evaluate the proliferation of depot-level maintenance work at nondepot facilities. The recommendations, which are consistent with those that GAO has previously made, are focused on key problem areas, such as the need for an improved understanding about the 50-50 rule and for compliance with reporting policies and procedures. Efforts have been undertaken to address some of the problem areas. However, the Army has not yet developed an action plan that identifies priorities, time frames, roles and responsibilities, evaluation criteria, and resources for managing the implementation of the recommendations. Until the Army does this, it will be difficult to assess to what extent the Army is likely to meet its desired objectives. While improvements should be accomplished, the complexity and vastness of the Army's maintenance system and continuing questions about such issues as the definition of "depot maintenance" and changing maintenance strategies could continue to present challenges in fully recording all maintenance work that should be captured.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In commenting on GAO's draft report, the Department of Defense concurred with this recommendation. The Department noted that the Army was in the process of establishing a team to develop an action plan. In performing our review of Army and Marine Corps depot maintenance operations, we determined that over the past few years the Army has relied on its depots significantly to support the ongoing war on terrorism and recognized the importance of the depot system to the successful support of future contingencies. Therefore, the Army has developed a depot maintenance strategic plan that identifies a strategy and plan of action for for improving the capability of the Army depot maintenance system to support legacy and emerging new weapon systems.
Recommendation: To ensure the timely and effective implementation of the recommendations in the Army's 2003 proliferation report to help the Army improve its management of maintenance operations, including the proliferation of depot-level maintenance facilities, and more precisely capture and report depot-level maintenance data, the Secretary of the Defense should direct the Secretary of the Army to establish a specific plan to manage the implementation of the 29 recommendations identified in the 2003 proliferation report. The plan should include the priority and time frames for implementation, the responsible organizations for implementing the plan, and the criteria for measuring success.

Fraud costs online banking £60m as scams soar by 14 per cent
Sunday 14 March 2010
Fraud on debit and credit cards may have fallen by more than a quarter last year, the first decrease since 2006, but online scams are on the up, according to the latest card and banking fraud figures.
The UK Cards Association said that losses associated with online fraud rose by 14 per cent last year to just shy of £60m. In contrast, card fraud overall fell by 28 per cent to £440m between 2008 and 2009, due in part to the success of chip and PIN and more sophisticated fraud-detection tools. Cheque fraud also saw a 29 per cent dip from £41.9m to £29.8m, but there is still much work to do to combat online fraud.
"We are committed to a wide range of measures to ensure customers feel confident, safe and secure when they use their credit and debit cards – whether in a shop, abroad, online, at a cash machine or anywhere else," says Melanie Johnson, chairman of the UK Cards Association.
The boost in online crime has been blamed on the use of more advanced malware, which targets vulnerabilities in online-banking customers' PCs, as well as on a rise in incidents of phishing (duping users into revealing passwords and other critical information) which rose to 51,000, up from just 1,700 five years ago. As a result, online banking losses have more than doubled from £23.2m in 2005 to £59.7m last year.
