You can't run a business if it isn't making money. If it can't make money it ceases to exist and it can't provide any products or services let alone those for the disadvantaged.

"The services are provided by companies and paid for by a fund supported by
telecommunications carriers and overseen by the FCC."
There is no mention that the amount padi by telecommunications carriers has been reduced. If they are paying the same amount, why is the FCC now paying less? Where is the money the FCC is collecting going?

Bravo Renews 'Million Dollar Listing: New York' (Video)
Andy Cohen announced the renewal Wednesday on "Watch What Happens Live," following the real estate series' season finale.
Bravo is renewing its lease on Million Dollar Listing: New York for another season.
Andy Cohen announced the pickup on Wednesday's episode of Watch What Happens Live. Stars Fredrik Eklund, Michael Lorber and Ryan Serhant appeared on the show directly after the series aired its first season finale. The finale attracted 1.1 million viewers – its largest audience of the season, which averaged 1.04 million viewers.
PHOTOS: The 'Ex-Real Housewives' Club
That may have bolstered Embassy Row-produced Watch What Happens Live's ratings, as well. The late-night talker saw a 46 percent increase with the ad-coveted 18-49 audience over last Wednesday's episode.
Earlier in the evening, Flipping Out star Jeff Lewis' new series, Interior Therapy, also saw a season-high with the ad-coveted demo and 994,000 total viewers – a 26 percent increase over its premiere episode. Interior Therapy is produced by Authentic Entertainment.
VIDEO: Behind the Scenes of the 'Real Housewives' THR Cover Shoot
Also, the original L.A.-based series of Million Dollar Listing returns for its fifth season on Wednesday, June 6 at 9 p.m. World of Wonder produces both series.

That's what Mayor Bloomberg thinks.
Plus, Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are still making out all over the place, Billy Joel wants Katie Lee back, and more dysfunctional celebrity relationships in our daily gossip roundup.
But, sadly, the mayor didn't go on a shopping spree.
Look out, Paris!
We have a mayoral race on our hands!
Wait a minute here.
This is not going well.
That's how frustrated he is with the Senate's failure to pass the mayoral-control bill.
And Danny Meyer's favorite hangs, too.
Because graphs are better than things that aren't graphs!
The "tortoise and the hare" campaign approach appears to be very popular this year.
That's not the only thing we learned from Google's new "Favorite Places" application!
Even though it started meeting again for real today.
Howard Wolfson used to rail against Mayor Bloomberg's wealth and hubris. Now he works for him. Can you imagine?
His breakneck campaign spending continues.
It's been months! What is this, a relationship? Also, long-term bromances between Tom Cruise and David Beckham and Leonardo DiCaprio and Lukas Hass continue in today's gossip roundup.
The Democratic mayoral candidate is eying Philadelphia's Michael Nutter for inspiration.
Of course, this doesn't mean they'll actually do anything.
It's just like Obama says — if you punish suspects without a fair trial, you're just going to breed more terrorism.
He'll even give you the right number.

Originally formed as a four-piece hardcore punk band in 1981 by Diamond (vocals), John Berry (guitar), Yauch (bass) and Kate Schellenbach (drums), the band appeared on the compilation cassette New York Thrash, before recording their first EP Polly Wog Stew in 1982. Berry left shortly thereafter, and was replaced by Horovitz. After achieving moderate local success with the 1983 experimental hip hop

Lebanese soldiers patrol the Tripoli neighborhood of Mina.(The Daily Star/File/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Three grenades blasted in Tripoli Sunday night only a couple of days after Friday's identical act of vandalism, and the perpetrators have not yet been caught, a security source told The Daily Star.
The first grenade exploded close to a gas station in the Baal al-Darawish neighborhood around 10 p.m. Sunday.
Half an hour after midnight, another grenade was thrown near the residence of the Attal family in Jabal al-Biddawi. It caused slight material damage at the sight of the explosion.
Inhabitants of the Mankoubin area were the next awoken, when a grenade exploded at 1:30 a.m. Monday near the Mankoubin soccer field.
No casualties were reported.
This came three days after a similar incident rattled Tripoli in its sleep, where three grenades were similarly thrown around the city, also without causing any casualties.
Lebanese troops have patrolled the streets in search of the attackers.
The overnight violence marred a two-month old security plan for Tripoli in which security forces deployed en masse to restore stability to Lebanon's second-largest city, following at least 20 rounds of gun battles related to the Syrian crisis.

Hi All, nice app, works fine on Ubuntu 12.04. very easily installed via apt-get, also integrates with LikwiseOPEN which give ability to login to ununtu server via RDP using active directory username/password. however.. no matter what i did, and i already spent like 40+ hours on it, xrdp DOES NOT work on ANY redhat type machine.. tried Centos5/6, Redhat 5.8 and 6.4.. either Xvnc goes zombie (defunct) or some weird errors that "display is in use" or "connecting to 127.0.0.1 5910 - error problem connecting" - go figure.. its really shame that such nice ap doesnt support Redhat enterprise linux. it could be very nice addition in enterprise enviroment, especialy where very expensive products like X-win32 and Exceed dont provide much more than xrdp can do for free... if it was only Ubuntu i would give it 5 stars, but for now, rating only 2...

We had a potluck at our last market and I brought homemade meatloaf with Spring Lake Farm ground beef and ground pork for sandwiches. Meatloaf sandwiches are a favorite of mine, and it is a great way to turn our fantastic ground meat into a feast for a crowd. They were a hit! The meatloaf sandwiches are made even better by another vender at the Roslyn Village Farmers Market, Backyard Brine's smokey sienna pickle.
Spring Lake Farm Meatloaf
Preheat the oven to 350
you need two pounds of ground meat
- either 2 pounds of ground beef or 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground pork
- 1/2 cup of oatmeal(most use quick oats but old fashioned are fine too)
- 1/2 cup of diced carrots
- 1/2 cup of diced red pepper(optional if in season)
- 1 large white or yellow onion, diced
- 2 eggs
- a handful of fresh parsley, minced
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons seas salt or to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- for the tomato ketchup glaze I mix catchup and maple syrup together and spread over the molded meat loaf.
- Defrost the meat. You can defrost in the fridge by placing it a bowl, or for a quick defrost you can use a water bath.
- Mince and dice the vegetables: carrots, onions, red pepper (if you using) and parsley
- In a bowl combine the ground meat, vegetables, eggs, oats and seasoning.
- Mold into a meatloaf(I prefer to mold the loaf instead of using a mold pan)
- Combine the ketchup and maple syrup and brush over the meat loaf.
- Cook for 1 hour!
- Enjoy!

Tool Stroker Combinations
Better by design, Callies Compstar connecting rods offer high performance and a trouble-free engine build. Concerns about out-of-round, big-end bore sizing, repeatability, time-saving details, and upgrade costs are answered with Compstar connecting rods. Their forged 4340 steel rods are put through a lengthy stress-relief process and burnishing of threads and bolt spot faces to ensure dimensional repeatability, no matter how many times rods are torn down and reassembled. Pin bushings are chamfered and honed, parting line edges are generously chamfered, and bearing locating tab slots are deburred, all in an effort to save you time and trouble. ARP 2000 bolts and stroker clearances are standard with Compstar rods. Choose either their original H-beam design or heavy-duty I-beam designed rods. For high performance use right out of the box, plus value and peace of mind, try Callies Compstar connecting rods.

I love this lamp. I'm always looking for unique lamps and this one is. I've even named him Pedro. I leave it on all day and serves as a great night light too.
I was pleasantly surprised how pretty this lamp is. You definitely get your money's worth! It is tiny by no means, standing about 16 inches tall. The colors are nice, but could be a bit more bright.. One eye is bright red, the other is black, so no color shines although I'm sure they are all different. . It's perfect for a hall light, which was my purpose for the purchase. It couldn't be more easy to assemble. Overall, I am very pleased with this item and it's great for the price. I'm sure they are all different, and am thinking of getting another to match!
I bought this as a gift for my aunt. She was totally thrilled when she received it. She said the packing of it was great and arrived in perfect shape. I sent this as a gift, but did not have an opportunity to send a greeting before I ended my order with Overstock. My aunt had no idea who sent her the gift. I will suggest that if you order something to send as a gift, be sure to check with the recipient to make sure they receive the gift, and to let them know you sent the gift.
Good quality product, I have received many compliments so far.
Love this lamp. Got it for the sun room at my beach house. Looks beautiful at night. I'm thinking about ordering another one so I will have a matching set.
This is a very nice lamp. I use it for mood lighting in the kitchen and it really looks great.
This is cuter than a bug! I got the lamp with two parrots on it for my friend for her first anniversary and she flipped over it. We both have pets birds. I have not seen that one yet, I am in N.M., they are in Mi. This one is for her as well but I had it sent to myself so I can take it with me when I travel to see them. I had to open it to make sure it was not broken since I will be holding on to it for a while. It is just adorable! The colors are vibrant and a very sturdy little bugger too. Great buy and I might get one of each of these lamps for myself. Thank you Overstock! You have always been fantastic. A side comment here- I had to deal with an Overstock chat for this item and he was wonderful. The first young man I was on with somehow I got disconnected, but the next one was just awesome. THAT is why Overstock.com has the name it does- your customer service. The people who work for you are the best there are. THEY are the reason I keep coming back, year after year, referring dozens of friends and family every year to you. Keep that going and you will always be the top of line in companies, I don't care who the other companies are- I onlycome to you for what I need.
This lamp is the perfect addition to my son's parrot-themed bedroom! It's even more beautiful when lit!
Well made - he sits on top of a wine cabinet. I am very happy with him.
I bought this parrot after reading all the glowing recommendations on this site. And perhaps I had higher expectations as a result. The parrot stain glass colors were not green and yellow at all - they were more orange-reddish-yellow and the parrot had really creepy glowing red-orange eyes that seemed to stand out quite obviously in comparison to the entire figurine. Maybe it was influenced by the way the light bulb is placed in the lamp, I'm not sure, but it just didn't look esthetically pleasing to me. I would have returned it, if not for my sister-in-law who ended up liking the fact that it was a parrot (she likes animals) and it was a Tiffany-style lamp (which she collects). So, all in all, I didn't think the lamp was horrible, but definitely not worth keeping for me.

Springfield Rapper & Activist Goes To Ferguson
It's been over a week since an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown was shot to death by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. The demonstrations against what many consider police brutality have yet to end. Some Springfield residents have gone to join the protests, including Ryne Goodrich. He's a hip-hop promoter, a rapper, and a community activist. Goodrich shares his take on the situation in this interview:

Earning the win for the Yanks was starter Andy Pettitte, who allowed three runs on four hits over 5 2/3 innings. Philadelphia starting pitcher Pedro Martinez took the loss, allowing four runs over four innings. Yankees' closer Mariano Rivera came on to earn the save, retiring Phillies' outfielder Shane Victorino on a ground out to second baseman Robinson Cano for the season's final out.

Adelhaide Bernum Bequeret
Have done much research on the Bernum family in both Illinois and Missouri. Adelhaide Caroline Bernum was the daughter of Heinrich (Henry) vonBernum and Hendrina Magdalena Terhorst. Three generations of vonBernums arrived at New Orleans on 31 Dec 1847 on the ship GENERAL GREEN out of Antwerp, Belgium. The John who is listed on her death cert as her father was actually her younger brother. (Her parents were dead before her marriage so her children never knew their grandparents)
Note: her grand parents were Albert vonBernum and Christina (or Gustina) Gatman.
I have Albert's WILL and subsequent lawsuit filed by his survivors; Henry's Civil War records including his daughter Julia's request for his Civil War pension. The records include numerous depositions which include family ancestors.
Hope you have a chance to correct the error in her father's name.
THANK YOU! Barb Bernum Roddy

The Fraud in the Oil Industry by Sanusi Lamido
Category: Frauds & Scandals
Read (3238)
January 12, 2012
Here is an excerpt of a well circulated comment by the Central Bank of Nigeria , Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on the many ways certain players (without criminalising the whole industry) or a group thereof have and continue to defraud the country.
I won't be able to repeat everything I have said over the past few years on fuel subsidy, but in summary; Fraud like theft thrives not only because of the existence of greed and benefit but of opportunity. Place yourself in the shoes of the average nigerian "businessman" or "entrepreneur"-polite euphemisms for rent seeking parasites.
You establish an elcee for importing 20,000MT of PMS and the PPPRA says this is at a landed cost of N145 for example per litre. So u know that for every litre in that vessel you will get at least N85 as subsidy. Now you have a number of "possibilities":
You can off load 5,000 MT and bribe customs and other officials to sign papers confirming u offloaded 20k MT. Then do the same across the chain with a paper trail showing you delivered 20k MT to a tank farm, and maybe even that u transported it to Maiduguri entitling you to a share of the price equalization fund. Maybe for N20-N30 per litre u bribe all those who sign the papers. The 15k MT you take to Benin or Ghana or Cameroun and sell at market price thus makin an additional "profit" of N55/ltr on 15,000MT!
you can just forge documents and have them stamped without bringing in anything and collect the subsidy-PPPRA pays based on DOCUMENTS.
you can bring in the fuel, load on tankers, sell some at N65N some at 80 some at 100 some across the land borders.
You can do all this and no one can catch it or prove it because somebody was paid to sign off on docs. And with a high enough margin there is too much temptation to be resisted and firepower for bribing officials.
When I spoke to the house of reps I told them why I was suspecting fraud. It starts from PPPRA "allocations" based on "capacity". You will find a company like Mobil with capacity for say 60,000 MT and a relatively unknown name with a capacity of say 90k MT. Red alert number 1.
Although PPPRA is supposed to give license only to marketers with a national distribution network you see names of companies where you have never seen a filling station in their name.
I was a chief risk officer in UBA and in FBN for many years approving loans so I know the name of every big player in every industry that Nigerian banks lend to as these are among the biggest banks in the country. I see names on the list I don't recognise either from portfolios. I looked at or industry studies over the years. Red alert number 2.
I studied the papers presented to PPPRA in a short period in 2010 (I won't tell you how I got them!). And I was surprised that on some days over 10 vessels are said to have discharged cargo in Lagos on the same day-clearly the same officers stamping and "verifying" that the vessels were SEEN. Is it really realistic that on the same day 13-15 vessels can discharge in Lagos ? Red alert number 3.
Why was I interested in fuel marketing? I was interested because the two sectors that led to the near collapse of the banking industry were capital markets and oil marketing. I am not giving any confidential info out as AMCON MD has already disclosed publicly that two companies alone-Zenon and AP both owned by the same businessman owed the Nigerian banking industry N220b. And we all saw the amount of subsidy paid to those companies published by BusinessDay.
See list here:
So money had been taken, subsidy had been collected but loans were not repaid, and we couldn't see the money either as product in tank farms or in fuel stations or credit sales. So I became obsessed with trying to understand how that industry operated and the more I saw the more I hated it and I started the war against subsidies.
It is actually better to do a direct cash payout or add a line item to salaries called petroleum support or transport allowance capped at say N300b p/a than to keep paying it. It goes to pay middle men, rent-seekers and corrupt officers and there is no amount of preaching that will stop this fraud so long as the policy is so badly defined.
Everytime oil price goes up and everytime the naira is devalued and everytime the quantity of imports increases the "subsidy" and thus the "rent" increases and there is more gravy to go round.
So every year we "import" more and more and deplete our reserves, and the government borrows more and more to pay for subsidy and the beneficiaries are a small group of marketers, govt officials and neighbouring countries which get fuel without losing forex! And while a person who applies intelligence can see what is happening you can't prove it in a court of law. If the man says he sighted the vessel and it was 20kMT you have to accept it. It was a year ago!
So for two years I have been convinced that this thing is a scam and that it cannot be stopped because the entire controls have been compromised.
NNPC sells domestic crude, Pays whatever subsidy PPPRA says and then gives the balance after JVC to the federation account. And while Fani kayode is right to speak up, the truth is that
it was Obasanjo who first subverted the process by allowing NNPC to make the deductions before paying into federation account.
Because once money goes into that account it is to be shared among 3 tiers of government so strictly speaking the deductions have always been
as the FG was paying subsidy on behalf of itself and state and LGs without their approval.
So yes, I am willing to take all the criticism and labels and be unpopular but this has to stop and govt can find other ways of alleviating pain. Iran removed subsidies and started cash transfers directly to the poor. It is up to fiscal authorities to figure out safety nets but from where I sit and what I know this decision is not only correct but necessary and overdue. I also confirm that I have revealed nothing here I haven't spoken about before in public and it is just that Nigerians never listen!

Leaked Photo of the Upcoming iPad 5's Back Plate?
Kingsford - 1 year ago
This really isn't surprising. It's almost February and they have a new design for the iPad Mini, iPhone and iPod's... Would only expect a new iPad.

Not a new design. This design is the same as the iPod touch 5th generation design.
Kingsford - 1 year ago
It is a new design because the iPad now isn't like that. It's not the same size as the iPod Touch or iPad Mini.
BrawlBro1 - 1 year ago
No shit the size isn't the same, but the size does not matter. If the design has been done already then it's an old design. The iPad 5 is basically getting the 5G design. Some innovation from Apple. They're doing the same shit like they did with the 4s and 5.
