Cisco Should Pick Off Alcatel-Lucent
The cloud market expected to grow to $177 billion over the next three years so it would be foolish for Cisco to not consider acquiring Alcatel-Lucent at a time when ALU shares can be had for pennies on the dollar. For that same reason, it would also be foolish for investors not to consider ALU.
Although carrier spending has yet to fully recover, industry experts believe an increase in demand is imminent, although to what extent remains to be seen. But 2013 can't possibly be worse. This was precisely what Oracle was thinking.

When Peter Carlisle first started representing athletes in his sports law practice back in 1995, things were fairly straightforward. With a focus on sports like baseball and soccer, the Portland, Maine, entrepreneur and attorney just didn't give much thought to anything nontraditional. But when droves of Gen Y kids around the country started trading in their bats and cleats for snowboards and skateboards, Carlisle couldn't ignore the opportunity: "I figured that within a relatively short period of time, I could establish a pretty secure position within this new and burgeoning industry."
Indeed, a little research on Carlisle's part revealed that Gen Y's spending power and influence on music and sports-and the potential for growth within those sectors-was far greater than he could have imagined. And with the door wide open for those entrepreneurs representing extreme athletes, Carlisle took the lead: In 1997 (a year after snowboarding became an official Olympic sport), he abandoned his law practice in favor of sports management and began recruiting extreme athletes, and Carlisle Sports Management emerged.
Carlisle's story might be unique, but his philosophy ought not be. In other words, the old "If it ain't broke, why fix it?" maxim just doesn't fly when it comes to owning a business. If you hope to grow beyond breaking even-or even beyond being somewhat profitable-don't get too content with your current business model. Smart entrepreneurs constantly evaluate their company's direction, looking for new ways to generate revenue and capitalize on emerging markets before the competition knows what hit it.
"The best executives are always making shifts," explains Leslie Kossoff, founder and principal of Silicon Valley, California-based Kossoff Management Consulting. "As the business grows, entrepreneurs feel so locked in, their focus becomes more linear and fear-based, especially in these economic times. The challenge for established executives is to re-expand-to open their minds the way they did when they first started the company."
The bottom line is to remain flexible and willing to accept change. "Flexibility should be the competitive advantage of small businesses," says Dr. James Reeve, Deloitte and Touche professor of business at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. "Smaller companies need to be continually involved in environmental scanning, competitive scanning, market scanning and meeting on a periodic basis to review their strategy."
Look at it this way: If Carlisle hadn't anticipated the popularity of extreme sports four years ago, he never would have attained the dominant position in the industry he now holds. "In a very short period of time, these sports have grown [hugely popular]," says Carlisle. "Five years ago, you wouldn't imagine a mainstream corporate marketer sponsoring a snowboarder or skateboarder."
And though Carlisle still had a lot to learn after making his change-for one thing, he'd never picked up a snowboard in his life-he found ways to adjust to his new market. "The first year or two was difficult," says Carlisle, who now expects sales of nearly $1 million for 2001, 15 times more than his 1997 sales. "I would go to events or speak on panels, and they would view me as someone from the outside-a professional coming in. We had to hire people who knew these sports in order to develop credibility."

Great for storing tools, spare tube, patch kit, wallet, etc. Stays in place, doesn't interfere while riding. I use it on a Raleigh MTB. There are no measurements listed. It's approximately 8x6x1.5". Slightly smaller than the Nashbar frame pouch which does fit the MTB but I use it (NB)on my roadbike. I prefer this to a seat bag and is good for day trips and extra space for touring weekends. You will not be diappointed.

OurTime.com Reviews
About OurTime.com
Online dating has become increasingly popular for singles to connect; it has flourished into a number of sites that are now individually geared toward a specific demographic market. OurTime.com is an online dating service dedicated to connecting singles that are at least 50 years of age. The site was built on the idea that older people are looking for companionship with others who share the same life experiences.
It is free to become a member of OurTime.com and browse for singles in your local area. As a non-paying member you are unable to communicate with other singles. You must "upgrade" your account to a paid member status to use all of the features within their site. A one month membership costs $19.99, three months cost $54.00 and six months cost $72.00.
To cancel your subscription, you may do so through your online account, send a written cancellation by mail, or email their customer service team. There are no refunds for any payments plus you are also obligated to pay the remainder of the subscription fees for the package option you signed up for.
Payments are setup on autopay each month and your subscription is set up on auto renewal. Should you wish to cancel your renewal you must do so far enough in advance so they have time to process your request.
The great aspect of online dating is that it gives individuals a comfortable setting to strike up a conversation with someone whom they have never met. By avoiding the first impressions that accompany a face to face encounter or a blind date you can be yourself without having any expectations put on you. Online dating is also a great way to network the social scene whether it is find someone to date or just to find a good friend, anything is possible. In addition, you can focus your attention on individuals who have similar interests as you, making your chances for a connection even better.
The other side of online dating pertains to the risks involved. First and foremost, you don't really know who is on the other side of the communication exchange. A profile picture may not represent the person who is replying to you. There is a possibility that the person on the other side is not who they claim to be and may even be an employee of OurTime's parent company. Even though the site's terms and conditions claim this is a way to engage its members and improve their services, it seems as if it is a method used to keep their paying subscribers.
Another risk involved comes hand in hand when the potential development of a relationship presents itself and the time comes when you both decide to meet in person. Safety is a common concern among all online daters. Take the necessary safety precautions and always meet in a public place. When meeting someone for the first time, don't forget that while you may be looking for someone who resembles their profile picture, you may be meeting someone who looks completely different.
When dating online, keep your eyes open, don't spill out your life story and never reveal your personal information.

I sure wish I had read all of these comments before I signed up for the low price three month trial. I just saw a charge on my credit card for a renewal and it was over $70.00. I have emailed them to take it off but I don't hold out hope for it after reading these comments.
I filed a dispute with my credit card company for unauthorized charge on my account. I also had my credit card number change to prevent the company from trying to collect the 83.94 they charged me WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION.
I am very disappointed with Our.Time.Com. I have encountered fake profiles - the people are not real! I put in my preferences and get views, messages, search engine misinformation (does not comply with my setting), from people who do not meet the preference settings; ie no picture, wrong ethnic race, distance, age, and sex! The new members tab is a joke - same people every week. The site is a joke - I can't get in touch with a customer service rep to complain as I suppose they don't have one (it is fake too)! I would not recommend this site to anyone!
Ourttime ripoff
Ripoff! Their customer service, auto renewal and refund policy sucks. Customer service won't get back to you. They do not have a refund policy. If they send you an email advertising reduced renewal rates ($39.95), don't click it. Beware, the reduced rate will only be tacked on to the already ($71.94) renewal rates and the auto renewal does not notify you of pending bank transactions. If you plan on cancelling, send yourself a calendar reminder to cancel before they can get to your bank account.
Former Employee
OK this is for all of your attention on this site. I used to work for People Media in Costa RIca and they are a huge RIP OFF. I cant call them a scam because if you sign up for an account you better read the Terms And Conditions immediatly and thoroughly. THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION>>>>>The easiest way to get this turned off is call them and SAY you met someone. THey will not try to keep selling to you if you do. CALL...877-727-8920 and you will get through. They will answer PEOPLE MEDIA....Tell them your account and tell them you want any OPEN account to be closed. THEY WILL LEAVE anything you dont mention open. I suggest a class action suit against them and MATCH.COM if you want to accomplish anything as far as getting refunds back but remember...If you send a message at any PEople media site you will not be eligible for a refund. The Customer service is done PRIMARILY in COSTA RICA for a company named VIALINX!!!! THey are a shady company with shady business practices and handle only rippoff companies such as SCORESENSE, AND PEOPLE MEDIA AND MATCH.COM SITES....DONT get taken advantage of. STAY away from anything dealing with these companies in order to have a happier life.
i filed a complaint about ourtime.com with Pam Bondi, the State attorney for Florida today. Hopefully something can be done about these awful people.
OurTime is a Scam
They are nothing but a Scam and will take your money and then remove parts of your profile so you can't even use it!
ourtime.com is a total waste of time and money. I have never been lied to so many times in my life. It is not just ourtime. They all are awful. I am a very pretty, (inside and out) woman with a heart of gold who is extremely honest about every aspect of my life and I am worn out from men who sit and lie to my face. Do not bother with this site. The best way to meet someone is through friends.

(UK, South Africa, 2013)
Directed by Justin Chadwick. Screenplay by William Nicholson; based on Nelson Mandela's autobiography.
Cast: Idris Elba, Naomie Harris, Tony Kgoroge, Riaad Moosa, Jamie Bartlett, Lindiwi Matshikiza, Deon Lotz.
When it was announced at the end of the London premiere of Long Walk to Freedom that Nelson Mandela was dead, the audience and cast rose to their feet, cheering and crying for the man who helped bring freedom to his country. And as the film dared to show, Mandela was very much a man and not a legend, with flaws and inconsistencies that only made his accomplishments and call for reconciliation more remarkable. As Mandela, The Wire and Luther's Idris Elba finally gets a film role that uses his prodigious talent, and he is matched in intensity by Kenyan actress Naomie Harris, as the dangerously impulsive Winnie Mandela. 141 min.
"Elba's towering performance lends Long Walk to Freedom a Shakespearean breadth." - Stephen Holden, New York Times.

The Ducks have stated that they are looking for some help to beef up the third line but it is increasingly apparent that they won't go the quick-fix route with a veteran free agent after failing to get Michal Handzus, who went to rival San Jose.
Jamie Langenbrunner and Jason Arnott, who have a combined 2,207 games and 1,542 points between them, both signed one-year contracts with St. Louis on Wednesday. (UPDATE: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the deals are worth a base $2.5 million with bonuses that can push the amount to $2.8 million.
The Ducks were believed to have more interest in Langenbrunner, 35, than Arnott. But that interest was limited as Langenbrunner's agent, Steve Bartlett, told the Register in an e-mail Tuesday that he had a "brief conversation" with the club but didn't think signing in Anaheim was "very likely."
Wade Arnott, who repesents his brother, did not respond to requests by the Register over the past few days.
Langenbrunner and Arnott could bring a young Blues team some needed veteran presence but there is a question as to how much they have left and what roles will they have under coach Davis Payne.
Both players split time with two clubs last season. Langenbrunner had nine goals and 23 assists with New Jersey and Dallas while Arnott, 37, had 17 goals and 14 assists with New Jersey and Washington.'
Langenbrunner won Stanley Cups with Dallas in 1999 and New Jersey in 2003. Arnott also won a title with the Devils in 2000, beating the Stars with a double-overtime goal in Game 6 that won New Jersey its second Cup.

Sometimes it happens, your company is not delivering what you have promised. Honestly, maybe it's not your fault. But that doesn't matter, if you can't handle a complicated situation well enough with an upset customer. You will then lose a potential ambassador for your brand when the customer hang up the phone. During my decade in the sales arena the H.E.A.T model is my favorite when it comes to handle flak from a dissatisfied customer. Remember that this information is invaluable feedback for your company.
Integrate with a social media strategy
You can use H.E.A.T early in the sales process when things hasn't turned out the way you promised your customer, or if your company have a win back team you can use it even there with great results. This is a very simple efficient way to solve both the personal and the practical needs of the customer and building an even stronger relationship.
The reason why I'm blogging about this model today is because I think you can build H.E.A.T into your social media strategy, to achieve a clear way how your social media team should handle customer service online. This should be integrated with your social media policy.
What do you think?
Thank you economy in action with H.E.A.T
- H-Hear them out: LISTEN, Communicate, understand, agree.
- E-Empathize: Pay attention, admit your part of the problem. You must understand that this is an opportunity to turn the customer around and build an even stronger relationship.
- A-Apologize: Apologize, let the customer know that you are grateful that she is giving you feedback about the problem. You will use this feedback to be better in the future. THANK HER. Ask her how she want you to compensate her? It's so often that companies trying to solve the problem for a dissatisfied customer without a clue how the customer want it to be solved.
- T-Take action: Action is everything, fix the problem, compensate and document it clearly, eliminate further misunderstanding in this matter.

We've been in love with Team Skeletonics' human-powered exoskeleton for years, and all throughout, it's pretty much been the same mechanical and aesthetic configuration. But it now looks like they've been refining in the background, and might be bringing something new out to play.

Japanese & Polish Researchers: "Mini-Projectors Need Holograms!" But wait, do we need mini-projectors?
Smartphone projectors? Laptop projectors? Pen projectors? Tablet projectors? Well, maybe there's a market (maybe), but perfecting a practical mini-projector has been perennially problematic. Japanese and Polish researchers could have an answer: ditch the lenses and use holographic zoom.

But what makes Michelle one of us, fashionwise, isn't just that she wears the kind of clothes that are popular with American women who have come of age in the era of Vera Wang for Target and Sex and the City. It's also that while sometimes she gets it just right and looks polished and radiant, other times she makes wacky choices and clearly prioritizes her personal style over public approval. Her firework of a dress on election night, a black and red piece by Narciso Rodriguez, was controversial and anything but safe. Her decision to wear a big glittery necklace and Toledo's beaded lemongrass lace ensemble at the inauguration provoked reactions from "regal and inspiring" to "old-fashioned" and "too cocktailish." And her one-shoulder white gown by Wu was equally polarizing. Though a symbolic color choiceand a silhouette that flattered what Wu believed to be her best feature, her buff armssome thought she looked like she was wearing a wedding cake. She has even been criticized by the Black Artists Association for not choosing to wear an African-American designer. But like most modern women who are lucky enough to live in a time when our accomplishments are as important as our appearance, Michelle Obama really seems to be dressing for herself.
This kind of personal, individualistic style may be the norm on the street and in Hollywood, but it's extremely rare in politics. Think of Nancy Pelosi's cautious formality, Laura Bush's matronly pastels, or Hillary Clinton's traveling pantsuits. When I covered the McCain campaign on the Straight Talk Express last year, I was struck by the way Cindy McCain used fashion as armor. She always looked flawless but stiff in her size 0 St. John suits and her snug leather blazers with her hair lacquered into a helmet. You could describe her style as crisp and classic, but above all, she looked rich. I never saw her without her bejeweled white ceramic Chanel watch or diamond studs the size of raspberries in her ears. (The press corps and the campaign staff, on the other hand, always looked wrinkled and slightly ragged.) Cindy's style sent a clear message: I am not one of you; I am a member of the upper class. Don't mess with me. There was an uproar, of course, over Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's $150,000-plus campaign clothing budget, but at the Republican convention in Minneapolis, Cindy McCain wore a single outfit that reportedly cost twice that much. In a time of economic collapse, Michelle Obama's relatively modestly priced wardrobe seems even more fashionable by contrast. (Full disclosure: Wu agreed to not charge Obama for the dress, as it is to be donated to the Smithsonian Institution.)
Women have largely rejected traditional uniforms and fashion axioms in the twentyfirst century. In many professions, as we've gained ground at work, we've stopped feeling compelled to wear power suits to the office every day in order to be taken seriously. We mix things from J.Crew and H&M with our best designer pieces, we wear white in winter and black to weddings, and in our downtime, we let our bra straps show (if they're cute). It's fitting that we have a first lady who makes her own rules. Like so many American women, rather than changing the way she looks or the way she sounds to fit into her station, Michelle Obama has the power and style to transform the role instead.
A woman in the White House who prioritizes her own preferences, invites her mother (the first granny) to live with her during her husband's term in office, knows her own mind, and is not afraid of fashion bucking the status quothat's change we can believe in. If we just elected Barack Obama president, it would have been enough. (Dayenu.) But getting Michelle along with him is the ultimate luxury.

The duplex/doppler ultrasound test examines the blood flow in the major arteries and veins in the arms and legs. The test uses duplex ultrasonagraphy to visualize the blood flow and doppler ultrasonagraphy provides an audio means to hear the blood flow. This test is done as an alternative to arteriography and venography and may help diagnose abnormalities in an artery or vein.

From there, the focus is on surfing and watching as experts take on the biggest waves and winds, both on surfboards and windsails.~ Rob Ferrier, All Movie Guide

For those slain at once. For those living through the months and years Enduring, watching, hoping, going each day To the work or the queue for meat or the secret club, Living meanwhile, begetting children, smuggling guns, And found and killed at the end like rats in a drain.Stephen Vincent Bent
Tough times never last but tough people do. And the resilience of our people over the past 18 years makes me believe that we have what it takes to emerge from our current setback.Mick Beddoes
Bid us sigh on from day to day, And wish and wish the soul away, Till youth and genial years are flown, And all the life of life is gone.Samuel Beckett
On my Youtube page there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff. Like, I'm not mad. I'm 16 years old and I don't have chest hair and I'm not angry about it at the moment. That will come. People are like, "Look at him he puts helium in his voice before he sings." You just have to laugh at yourself. It's funny.Justin Bieber
I knew I had to be sure-footed about the issues I was talking about. When you're twenty-nine years old, who the hell is going to think you're credible? It wasn't enough to have ideas; I had to know my facts. I had to demonstrate command from the minute I started running. I understood that was the test I had to pass.Joseph Robinette
There's good reason to be excited. You have the first woman running who is qualified, and a very attractive African-American who has demonstrated crossover appeal. I got involved in politics 40 years ago during the civil rights movement, so yes, it's an exciting thing.Joseph Robinette
What I write is full of infirmities. I have been in solitary confinement for twelve months and in a death cell for three months, deprived of all facilities. I have written much of this by resting the paper on my thigh in unbearable heat. I have no reference material or library, I have rarely seen the blue sky. The quotations are from the few books I was permitted to read and from the journals and newspapers you and your mother bring once a week during your visits to my suffocating cell. I am not making excuses for my deficiencies but it is very difficult to rely on a fading memory in such physical and mental conditions. I am fifty years old and you are exactly half my age. By the time you reach my age, you must accomplish twice as much as I have achieved for the people.Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
I suspect he was never young, was just born straight forty years old.Chetan Bhagat
Just consider, all the little nations running for shelter here and there, one running to Russia and another to the United States. In that situation before anything else would happen, the world will have been polarised between the Soviet Union and the United States. It is against that negative polarisation we have been fighting for years. We want to have the opportunity to interpose between these two giants a moderating, modifying and mitigating diplomacy.Aneurin Bevan
The only hope I had was when (in his youth, fh)I saw one day a photograph of a sculpture by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, a German sculptor of expressionistic style. This was perhaps the only example, Lehmbruck, between my sixteenth to nineteenth years in which I saw a possibility for art to be principally of interest to innovate some things, instead of writing a very boring, naturalistic repetition of what is already done by nature.Joseph Beuys
It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.Robert Charles Benchley
Your system was liable to periodical convulsions...business crises at intervals of five to ten years, which wrecked the industries of the nation.Edward Bellamy
You know, she often tells me that what I do is great. I don't think she ever thought I would end up doing this with my life. But I think she is happier that I haven't changed over the years, that I am still me, that I care about her and that we are the same as we always were. And I think that is what makes her most proud.Halle Maria Berry
Do I wish I didn't say a few things nine years ago? Yes. But if that's the worst thing I ever did, I can live with it.Christopher ("Boomer") James Berman
We must be aware of the superiority of our civilization, a system that has guaranteed well-being, respect for human rights and - in contrast with Islamic countries - respect for religious and political rights, a system that has as its value understanding of diversity and tolerance ... The West will continue to conquer peoples, even if it means a confrontation with another civilization, Islam, firmly entrenched where it was 1,400 years ago.Silvio Berlusconi
Do you know that theres hardly anyone left of last years Caucasian governments? Ive tried to stop it, but in vain. Yet they cant all be Trotskyites and traitors.Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will make a ton of money, Michael Bay will be lauded as the greatest director of our generation, and the accountants at Paramount will have their second collective orgasm in as many months. As for me, I will try desperately not to weep not so much for what the success of a movie like this means to motion pictures, but for the simple fact that I'm going to have to do this all over again in two or three years for Transformers 3.James Berardinelli
Michael made his debut in John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween, possibly the best scare movie to come along in the last twenty-five years. ... [W]ith the release of the sixth (and hopefully final) movie to bear the Halloween moniker, we see how far the mighty have fallen. ... In the final analysis, The Curse of Michael Myers is a horrific motion picture just not in the way the film makers intended.James Berardinelli
I have to report that this motion picture is arguably the worst piece of cinematic crap I have ever experienced theatrically. Hyperbole, you wonder? I looked through my list of zero-star movies and couldn't find one entry (except the immortal Zombie vs. Mardi Gras, which was a straight-to-video release) that ranked as more difficult to endure. Words like abomination and travesty don't do this movie justice. Sitting through Freddy Got Fingered was one of the most depressing experiences in my 10 years of reviewing films. It's not even enjoyable on a campy level. It's just bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.James Berardinelli
I feel very sincerely that age isn't computable by number of years. It is truly only a state of mind. We know many young people of 90 and old people of 20. By my mind, I'm still young!Bruce Bennett
The flag of racialism which has been hoisted in Wolverhampton is beginning to look like the one that fluttered 25 years ago over Dachau and Belsen.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. [...] For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange formit may be called fleeting or eternalis in neither case the stuff that life is made of.Walter Bendix Schnflies Benjamin
I'll be seventy years old soon. Well, Nahum, if you asked me whether I shall die and be buried in a Jewish State I would tell you Yes; in ten years, fifteen years, I believe there will still be a Jewish State. But ask me whether my son Amos, who will be fifty at the end of this year, has a chance of dying and being buried in a Jewish State, and I would answer: fifty-fifty.David Ben Gurion

JERUSALEM (AP) -- A new Israeli law is trying to fight the spread of eating disorders by banning underweight models from local advertising.
The legislation also requires publications to disclose when they use altered images to make people look thinner.
The ban appears to be the first time a government has used legislation to take on a fashion industry accused of abetting eating disorders by idealizing extreme thinness. It could be a model for other countries grappling with the spread of anorexia and bulimia, particularly among young women.
Legislators passed the law late on Monday.
The law's sponsor, Dr. Rachel Adato, compares the battle against eating disorders to the struggle against smoking.
Critics say the legislation should have focused on models' health, not weight.

Well actually T-bone, this is a different forum page. If you look at the top of this page you will see a thing that says,
"This is a link to the old forums. They will remain for a short while
They say you can still go to the old forum if you want. But they says that in the near future that you will not be able to leave comments or anything. It will just be for reference purposes mostly, because of all the good stuff there that people still want access to.
I hope it works out like they say. But the old forum it still there, it's just everyone had to re-register for the new forum.

College is a crucial time in determining a student's financial future. It's up to parents to sit kids down before they fly the coop and have the talk—about money. NY1's Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following report.
College freshmen arrive on campus excited, eager and unfortunately already a target for financial institutions.
"People are going to try to sell them checking accounts, savings accounts, credit cards and countless other products," says Nick Clements, co-founder of Magnify Money.
That's why Clements says it's important for parents to school their kids on some money lessons before they fly the coop. Take for instance, the ins and outs of checking. He suggests shopping around for an account that doesn't charge hefty overdraft fees since mistakes are bound to happen.
"Unfortunately, as college students learn their way into financial responsibility, they tend to go overdraft and pay a disproportionate amount of the fees, so you want to have an account that doesn't charge you $35 for that $6 latte," Clements says.
Credit cards are another tool that can prove helpful or hazardous depending on how they are used. On the one hand, college is the perfect time to start establishing credit.
"Make one—at most, two—purchases per month, pay it off in full every month and at the end of your four years of college you could have a credit score in the mid 600s and that could set you up in wonderful stead going forward," Clements says.
On the other hand, it's easy for a student to get overwhelmed with debt and start missing payments and that can have long term implications.
If you plan to send your child money, use it as a learning tool. Schedule deposits and force them to make those dollars last—a skill that will serve them well when they start earning a steady paycheck.
"I think a lot of times parents might say, 'Oh, whenever you run out of money, I'll just add money there.' I think the randomness of it or the 'I'm in trouble—give me money' sets up a bad scenario—not just for the parents, but later on. That bail out is going to be the debit card, it's going to be the credit card," says GreenPath Debt Solutions Community Relations Coordinator Chris Dlugozima.
That brings us to the most important financial lesson a student needs to learn—how to create and stick to a budget.
"If you track your expenses, if you plan accordingly, it's going to be that much easier to manage your checking account and manage the potential credit card and even the student loan that many of them take out as well," Dlugozima says.
To that end, students: take advantage of technology and choose an app that will help you stay on top of your pizza money. And since your phone is in your hand, don't forget to call your parents once in a while.

Knoxville (WVLT) - It's the weekend Vol fans annually go hunting big game, and to catch a gator in the swamp, you better load up on "gator" bait.
Volunteer TV's Jim Freeman caught up with Vol fans gearing up for Saturday's match-up.
It's a cool and wet day in West Knoxville, but business is heating up inside at the Shrimp Dock, as Vol fans prep for "gator" tailgating.
Vol fan Nick Galbraith says, "Hmmm...delicious."
And you can't have a "gator" tailgating party without gator meat.
"Drop it in the fryer."
Can't catch a gator without gator bait.
"You've got your gator."
"So, tail meat's the only thing that when it comes to gators, that's what you want."
But what does it taste like?
Paul Willis owns the Shrimp Dock and says, "Chicken. It really does. When you try it, you'll see."
Jim Freeman says, "Like chicken? It does taste like chicken."
He's not superstitious, but Nick Galbraith and friends are eating some gator for the good of the team, "I think superstition? We don't necessarily need it, but we're out there to eat the gator meat just, to well, throw it a little bit over the top. I guess you could say."
Store owner and New Orleans native Paul Willis takes it a step beyond superstition, "If you eat a little gator meat, it might help the Vols win. A little bit kind of voo doo kind of deal that we try to do and it's caught on quite well."
Florida fans have a different take.
Sharon Sizemore is a Florida fan from Orlando and says, "No, I don't think it's going to do much for 'em this year either and laughs. They can eat all the gator they want, but we'll prove it on the field and laughs."
If the Vols don't beat Florida Saturday in Gainesville, it won't be from a lack of game preparation on the part of the fans.
Kick-off from the swamp is set for 3:30 p.m. and can be seen right here on Volunteer TV.

Your View: It's the biggest lie told about taxes
We have all read stories about the percentage of citizens who pay absolutely no federal taxes. According to most accounts it is almost 50 percent. I believe those stories are among the biggest deceptions ever perpetrated on the American public. Follow my logic please!
Some of the 50 percent are retirees, some on public assistance and many are low-income workers who are paid for their time or their service.
Almost all of the "rich" taxpayers are involved in either selling a product, a service, or investing in companies that do.
Raise taxes on these "rich" and they simply become a part of their "cost of business." When costs rise, business owners raise prices to cover the cost. All the cost is ultimately paid by the consumer of the product or service. This cost is shared by EVERY consumer, rich, poor or whatever!
So, "poor" non-taxpaying citizens who use almost all income for necessities and the "rich" taxpayer both pay taxes only on what they use, eat or throw away.
The difference? The "rich" taxpayer passes on taxes to customers except that fraction which he consumes. The "poor," having no product to which to add "tax cost" is paying all the "passed-along" taxes on every product used!
Which person pays a higher percentage of income in taxes? It's not even close. It is the poor citizen who has been told he is paying no taxes at all!
If you are in the poor category and are grateful for your government leaders soaking the rich instead of you, I hate to be the one to tell you, but you've been told the biggest lie ever regarding taxation.
Is there a better way? Yes, the FairTax. Until it's passed, the poorer you are, the higher true percentage you really pay. Don't let anyone tell you different. It is a lie!
Thanks for support in schools race
I am honored to have been re-elected to serve the citizens of Guilford County as an At-large member of the Board of Education.
It is with deep appreciation and humility that I say thank you to supporters for the friendship and assistance extended to me throughout the 2012 campaign. Your advice and counsel served as a source of encouragement and inspiration as I battled for my seat in a hotly contested race. It was comforting to know how committed so many of you are to shaping the policies that affect our students, and I am proud to be working for you.
Because campaign financing is a necessary but burdensome aspect of the election process, I was forced to call on friends and PAC members for help. The response was gratifying. Thanks to them, I was able to mount a strong campaign and get my message out about the need for better schools and improved instructional services.
I look forward to working in partnership with other elected officials, with parents, with the GCS administration and teachers to increase educational opportunities for all of our children in the years to come.

text: 5 As good as live music getslondoncalling | 10/09/2008 | See all londoncalling's reviews (42)Top 100 Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Back in 1983, long before the lights, glitz, and mega money stadium tours, U2 produced one of the defining live performances in music history. Although Live At The Red Rocks was a small affair by comparison, a venue that's tucked away deep in Colorado, it is about as good as it gets when it comes to a concert captured on film. And to think, due to bad weather, this gig may never have happened. But It did, and believe me, we are all the better for it.The bands energy, their tightness, even Bono's showmanship are all on display here in some of their best songs like 11 O'clock Tick Tock, Gloria, Electric Co, A Day Without Me, and I Through A Brick. Even the more popular songs (of the time) like New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday and I Will Follow are all performed without fault. And due to it's 25th anniversary, it has now been given the remastered treatment which can only give this more clarity it so richly deserves.Depending on when you got into U2, may determine what kind of sound you prefer of theirs. If you don't know this particular time in their history, I still cannot recommend it enough. If you just like live music, believe me, this is stunning.The CD never carried as many tracks as the old VHS version did, and it looks like it will be the same case as with the DVD - however, you can't go wrong with owning both. Perfect.

A Sad Farewell to Barbie
Mattel Canada has been bringing in fewer of the Collector Barbie dolls. For the past three years we have been sourcing the dolls from the US but unfortunately, this is no longer an option for us.
Therefore, moving forward, we will no longer be carrying the new editions of Collector Barbie.
This is a sad decision, but a definite sign of the times as to how Mattel is managing the Collector business.
We will continue to carry secondary market & vintage Barbie. And of course, FASHION ROYALTY!! In fact, we are excited about having more time to work with Integrity Toys.

Herschel Little America I bought on Hypebeast online store for 85$ only, shipping to France free. It's about 65 euros. In France, the cheapest I've seen is 99 euros ( about $127 ). And on UK website it's £89 without shipping so it's about $143

We previously explained how to turn off startup programs in Windows 7 or how to add new startup programs. However, some malware can add hidden startup programs that you have to disable manually.
What you need is a Startup programs manager for Windows 7 to find all, including hidden, startup programs and services.
There are two startup programs manager that I recommend:
- 1. Step Startup Discoverer (Portable – No Installer)
- 2. Step Security Autorun (Installer)
Startup Discoverer: Portable Startup Programs Manager
The first one is a portable startup programs manager that is pretty good for advanced users.
There are many places that can possibly launch programs on startup. The Startup Discoverer will list all of them. At a first glance the tool might be a bit confusing for beginners, but simply ignore all the unknown names. After starting the Startup Discoverer click on the button Show All Runs and the tool will list all startup programs on your system. You can then export the complete list and analyze it to find any malware.
Download Security Autorun Startup Manager
Security Autorun: Extensive Startup Programs Manager
If you are looking for an alternative with a modern GUI, then you might want to try Security Autorun. Security Autorun can basically do the same things as the Startup Discoverer but is using a modern interface to display all startup programs and services.

More Iowans Getting Solar Credits
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The Iowa Revenue Department says the state awarded $1.36 million in tax credits to Iowa people and companies for installing solar energy systems last year.
264 credits were awarded. The tax credits almost hit the yearly cap of $1.5 million.
In 2012 tax credits worth $621,000 were awarded.
The department says 65 applications received in 2013 couldn't be processed in time for the report's release, so the credit numbers could go up.
Ninety-seven of the tax credits were awarded to corporations for a total of nearly $988,000. The remaining 167 were given to individuals for a total of more than $368,000.

Woke up this morning and 1st thing I read is one of our past TARA contestants just passed away. Very saddened and shocked. Life is precious.
... Henry from TARA2 :-(
My brother Henry Reed, age 53 passed away Tuesday, May 21st, 2013. Henry died suddenly in his sleep. He joyfully retired from the Navy to the Philippines ten years ago enjoying an active life.
Henry had a Philippines style funeral that was an extended viewing at his house there. His body has been cremated and will be returned to the US by his wife Terri for internment. So far we don't have a date.

Brooklyn's Joey Bada$$ and Carson, California native Ab-Soul, of Black Hippy, are two rappers who have had great years, and now they've linked up for "Enter The Void," the B-side to Joey's new "Waves" single. It's a bit of fractured, dense boom-bap that strikes a balance between Soul's freaked-out expressionism and Joey's hermetic verbosity. Listen below.
(via Nah Right)
The "Waves" single is out now on Cinematic Music Group.

Ocwen Financial Corp. (OCN:US) will provide $2.1 billion in relief to homeowners to settle regulators' claims over mortgage-servicing abuses, the Atlanta-based company said today in a regulatory filing.
Under the agreement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and state regulators, Ocwen will spend the money on "principal forgiveness modification programs" for borrowers who are behind on payments or whose homes are worth less than they owe, according to the filing. The company will also follow specific guidelines on servicing mortgages and face independent monitoring of that work.
Mortgage-servicing banks including Bank of America (BAC:US) Corp., JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM:US), Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC:US) and Citigroup Inc. reached a similar agreement worth $25 billion, with 49 states last year.
Under its agreement, Ocwen will provide the $2 billion over three years, according to the filing. It will also pay $127 million into a "consumer relief fund" to be disbursed by an independent administrator.

The stories of the traditional Dineh people of Black Mesa, the land surrounding the sacred peaks of Big Mountain, tell us that coal is the liver of Mother Earth. Black Mesa is a rural area of the Navajo reservation in Northeastern Arizona, where for more than 30 years, Dineh (Navajo) have lived in resistance there, steadfastly refusing to relocate as strip mines rip apart their ancestral homelands and coal-generating plants poison the desert air.
Public Law (PL) 93-531, written by Barry Goldwater and Pat Fannin and commonly known as the "Relocation Law," was signed into law by Gerald Ford in 1974. The statute made 900,000 acres of Navajo-Hopi shared land exclusive Hopi territory, or Hopi Partitioned Lands (HPL), despite the fact that very few Hopi lived there. With this, the Department of Justice began the massive relocation of Dineh, and Peabody Energy Corporation began constructing the two largest strip mines in the western US, one of which is operating today. The effects of the relocation meet all the criteria of the UN's internationally recognized definition of cultural genocide.
The media has misrepresented this corporate land grab as a "Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute."
"It is a major human rights violation, they way they pitted the Hopi and Dineh against each other over this issue," says NaBahe Katenay Keediniihii (Dineh), who was born on the HPL. "For generations," he continues, "they co-existed peacefully despite the fact that they were different tribes with different languages, ceremonies, and traditions."
More than 14,000 Dineh and over 100 Hopi have been relocated from the land surrounding the sacred peaks of Big Mountain to make way for Peabody's mines. This constitutes the largest forced relocation of indigenous peoples in the US since the Trail of Tears in 1883. In the 1970s and 1980s, resistance communities armed themselves against law enforcement officers and cut the government-erected barbed wire fences demarking the sacred places they were no longer allowed to visit. Of this, elder matriarch Pauline Whitesinger said, "They drew a line around us. I was told to move out by the government. I do not wish to leave, so I am staying here."
The relocation has a profoundly complicated history, much of which the authors of this piece are not capable of describing, as it is not our struggle. Currently, most families live in traditional hogans on large homesteads peppered by scrubby juniper and pine trees throughout which they herd their livestock. Sheep comprise the lifeblood of traditional Dineh communities. Now, as a result of 30 years of coal slurry operations that have required millions of gallons of water a day to function, the Navajo Aquifer, which runs under Black Mesa and supplies water for crops, people, and animals, is all but drained.
From its 30 years of disastrous operation, Peabody's 103-square-mile Black Mesa mine left a toxic legacy along an abandoned coal slurry pipeline 273 miles long, the source of an estimated 325 million tons of climate pollution discharged into the atmosphere. According to Peabody, the operating Kayenta Mine continues to extract eight million tons of low-sulfur coal annually and supplies the Navajo Generating Station near Page, Arizona.
These days, the Dineh families and elders who remain on the HPL face regular harassment and impoundment of livestock. Elder matriarch resister Mae Tso said recently, "Under the relocation laws we can only have a certain amount of sheep. They may extend [impoundments] to twice a year. It seems the Navajo and Hopi leadership have come together to push more people off of the HPL."
Movement building and allyship
Formed in 1998, Black Mesa Indigenous Support (BMIS) is committed to decolonial solidarity work with the Dineh communities, who are resisting this ongoing forced relocation by the US government. We are an all-volunteer, grassroots collective comprised of antiracist white organizers, the majority of whom are female-identified; we are involved as herbalists, parents, farmers, teachers, artists, and climate justice organizers. We see our role in working with other white allies as being particularly important because we believe, as the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond phrases it, "Racism is the single most critical barrier to building effective coalitions for social change."
Indigenous peoples' resistance, history and perspective on land, sovereignty, and the nation-state comprise the nexus of our work. We seek to be a part of countering the myth of the "disappearing native," while supporting active and resilient indigenous-led resistance movements and engaging in our own decolonization and healing processes.
Since the relocation began, and before BMIS existed, support has taken various forms: American Indian Movement resistance camps, weavers for justice, and organizing speaking tours around the country for elders, including visits to the UN. Over the years, people who have supported the struggle on Black Mesa have come to understand the fundamental interconnectedness of hierarchy and oppression, as well as varying relationships to power and privilege. The supporter network is now multigenerational and weaves together other efforts towards social and environmental justice.
As we develop as a collective, BMIS is increasingly focusing on movement and coalition building. In working to get supporters to the land to learn directly from the traditional ways and resistance of the community, we are also building a regional coordinator network of allies organizing year-round support of Black Mesa in their home communities.
Climate connections
At the United Nations COP-16 climate talks in Cancún in December 2010 it became clear that increasingly secured borders between the Global North and the Global South, between rich and poor, will ensure corporate access to remaining natural resources. Resisters from Black Mesa and others from frontline communities demanded the root causes of climate change be addressed, calling for the implementation of the rights of Mother Earth. The UN silenced them, while refusing to make real commitments to stop emissions at the source and keep fossil fuels in the ground.
The communities and lands most impacted by climate change have been plagued with the externalities of unfettered natural resource extraction fueling free-market capitalism: higher rates of cancer, respiratory diseases, and landbases and cultures rendered "sacrifices," as is the case with Black Mesa. Today around Black Mesa, there are unified efforts between Dineh and Hopi against resource extraction and for green jobs. BMIS seeks to support local communities' transitions off dirty energy and support green jobs for people who've been most impacted by dirty energy and climate pollution—disproportionally people of color and indigenous peoples.
The BMIS support network also connects with indigenous-led movements regionally and is part of the growing resilience movement for protecting sacred places: the Save the Peaks campaign in Flagstaff, Arizona that is organizing to preserve the San Francisco Peaks (www.savethepeaks.org) a sacred altar to indigenous peoples, including the Dineh; and the campaign to protect Segora Te (Glen Cove) (www.protectglencove.org) in California, among others.
As the regional support network grows, the importance of building an analysis of cultural and spiritual appropriation, and accountable representation for non-indigenous supporters becomes integral to our organizing. We work to foster committed allyship in movements led by people most impacted by colonialism, racism, and ecological destruction—in this case, the resisting elders of Black Mesa.
We hope that our access to resources can provide some background and open up a space for voices from the resistance communities to be amplified and published more regularly. We've learned that locating ourselves within the struggle does not mean making ourselves invisibile or acting from a place of guilt and shame, but acknowledging our unique abilities and positions as opportunities and deep yearnings to connect as a way to fully embody our collective liberation.
Liza Minno Bloom, Hallie Boas, and Berkley Carnine are collective members with Black Mesa Indigenous Support.

Lea Ronald, representing Kiwanis of Sonoma Plaza, takes on Marck Zuehlsdorff of Rotary of Sonoma Valley in the annual "Great Sonoma Bell Ringing Competition" to benefit Friends in Sonoma Helping (F.I.S.H).
Kiwanis jumped in the lead on the first weekend as volunteers from both groups brought a bit of joy to the shoppers at CVS and Safeway with their Santa hats, bells and holiday greetings. The effort continues this weekend, Friday-Sunday, at both locations.
