Huge rewards with little effort; THE best rewards site, hands down!

Full Review
MyPoints.com is a points rewards service. Points are earned via reading e-mails and/or making on-line purchases, or by applying for and using the MyPoints.com Visa card. These points can be redeemed for various giftcard rewards, of the member's choosing. Points are relatively easy to accumulate, and valuable rewards come at low point levels. I've been a member for over a year, and have redeemed my points for over $150 in giftcard rewards!
How MyPoints Works
Ultimately, MyPoints is a marketing service. In exchange for agreeing to receive various advertisements and offers, members can accumulate points which may be redeemed for rewards. Members are also able to earn points by making purchases at affiliated retailers, through the MyPoints.com website. There are far too many retailers to list here, but some notable ones include JC Penney, Fossil, Travelocity, Drugstore.com, Wal-Mart, Target, 1800Flowers, Radio Shack, 1800Contacts, etc. Scroll down this page for the full list: https://www.mypoints.com/emp/u/all_merchs.vm
Each e-mail or purchase is associated with a specific point amount, or amount-per-dollar. Unlike many similar services, MyPoints has been around for many years and boasts a virtually infinite network of participating retailers. As such, members are able to earn points for almost any purchases made on-line. For example, I made most of my Christmas purchases through MyPoints last year. These are purchases I would have made on-line anyway, but by making them through MyPoints I was able to earn large rewards without extra effort and without paying a higher price, as the most competitive retailers are included in the MyPoints program. To date, my wife and I have earned over $150 in restaurant giftcards, in a little over 1 year of membership. MyPoints.com also offers gas cards, gift certificates to various retailers such as Macy's and Target, or even more specialized services like United Airlines flights.
Earning Points
Members earn rewards points in three main ways:
1. by receiving e-mails
2. by making purchases on-line
3. by using the optional MyPoints Visa card
You need not utilize all three methods. Each member is asked to complete a set of detailed questionnaires upon joining. You'll earn points for completing this simple exercise, and it helps MyPoints get a better feel for what types of e-mails you'd like to receive (the more things you say you like, the more e-mails and point opportunities you'll get). Promotional e-mails, or
"Bonus Mail"
as they're called, are sent to your address at variable intervals. Most members seem to get about 3-5 per week. In order to receive point credit for opening an e-mail, you simply click the "get points" button in the body of the message, and the corresponding webpage will load. You are immediately credited for this "click-through," which usually amounts to about 5 points. While this sounds like very little, it adds up quite rapidly.
"Bonus Mail"
messages are of a few main types. Some are simply advertisements for various services or items. If you click through and actually make a purchase, there is often an additional bonus number of points earned. Other messages are for survey requests. If you qualify for a survey, you may receive 50 points or so for your participation. Others simply give you points for entering a contest! And as mentioned above, MyPoints now also offers a special Visa rewards card. Points are earned for each dollar spent anywhere with this card. As of right now, MyPoints is offering 1 point per dollar spent with the card, and double points for purchases made on-line through MyPoints.com.
Redeeming your points is quite simply with MyPoints.com. Once you've earned enough points for the reward of your choosing, simply click a link, verify your address, and wait for delivery! Having redeemed points on a number of occasions, I've found that my giftcards always arrive within a week or two, despite the stated time frame of 4-6 weeks. I once even had a card returned to MyPoints.com due to a mail carrier's error, and they actually re-credited my account with the points! I was amazed at this level of service and honesty, but have come to expect great service from MyPoints. The reward offers are too numerous to list, but I'll mention a few just to give you an idea of the depth and breadth. Rewards start at as low as 800 points. To put this in perspective, I just earned 300 points in the past 3 weeks in December by receiving e-mails and clicking the "get points" button, and then another 100 points for filling out a couple of surveys. I earned another 250 points for purchasing some reasonably priced earrings for my wife for Christmas, and another 350 for buying a very inexpensive ink cartridge for my printer. This put me at about 1,000 points for the month, without making an obscene amount of purchases or going through much effort! For only 800 points you can get a $5 Starbucks giftcard, or a $10 card for 1,350. A $25 Sam Goody card goes for 3,250. My personal favorite is the Brinker Restaurants card, which I think is the best deal. This card is good at Chili's, Maggiano's, On the Border, Macaroni Grill, and Corner Bakery, and is only 1,400 points for $10, and 3,000 points for $25! You can even get a gift cheque for use at the Marriot, in intervals from $25 to $100, for 3,250 to 11,250 points. Rewards cards are also available for Circuit City, KMart, Office Depot, Overstock.com, the Sharper Image, Target, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble, Media Play, Bloomingdale's, Linens N Things, Gap, Foot Locker, Lids, Old Navy, REI, Eddie Bauer, JC Penney, Bath and Body Works, Exxon Mobil, Shell gasoline, Home Depot, and countless others!
MyPoints is FANTASTIC! I've been a member for a little over a year and I've already received over $150 in rewards cards to some of favorite restaurants!!! I receive points for booking trips with Travelocity, and for making purchases I'd make anyway. Unlike many other rewards sites, MyPoints affords countless opportunities to earn points, and rewards come at relatively low point levels. You'll likely only be a member for a couple months before you have enough points to redeem for a reward. My only complaint about MyPoints has been their slow response time when points are not properly credited. The only way to contact them is via e-mail, and they are often slow to respond given the high volume of inquiries stemming from their growing membership. However, they have always been respectful and willing to credit my account accordingly without a fight. Their customer service is quite good, albeit a bit slow.

The latest example of bumping into someone from the classic world in a strange place occurred a couple of weeks ago (and follows on from other bizarre ones, chiefly among them the departure lounge at Sydney airport and the fish market in Venice...) in Ireland.
We were right out on the west coast, in County Mayo, on the far coastal side of a town called Belmullet, where my mum was born. I was over with friends and my 'magical mystery tour' (we used to go over every year when I was a child) had taken us to a place called Blacksod Point, almost as isolated as they come, and home to a lighthouse which we used to always come and visit.
As we drove out we noticed a helicopter coming into land, presumably visiting the lighthouse as there's nothing else there. We parked up and watched the chopper come in and land; by now most of my party had tired of my 'sightseeing', borderline gale-force winds and rain, and opted to stay in the car, but I wanted to go and see the helicopter, so off I plodded. As I approached, I was greeted by; "James, what are you doing here?" by an incredulous voice emerging from the helicopter compound. It was my Dublin-based friend Morgan Nolan, who rides a prewar MAC Velo in the Irish rally every year, and works as a maintenance engineer on the lighthouses of Ireland. They'd flown out to this one, just as we'd driven out there. What are the chances of that? We took a snap to celebrate, though Morgan seems to be inadvertently sticking his tongue out!
Otherwise, it's been a busy few weeks, what with Stafford and what have you, while the show shouldn't be let to pass without me mentioning Michael Barraclough, a youthful classic enthusiast and journalism student, who as well as coming on work experience with us during the week leading up to the show, joined us there. You'll notice some of his contributions this issue; he was a great help at the show, so well done and 'thank you' to him.
Aside from that, I've been putting in a few miles on the KTS, only receiving a few seasonal soakings here and there, but enjoying riding in the company of like-minded souls, and even meeting up with Steve France (see last month's Letters pages) at this year's Lincs Aviation Run.

Origins Modern Friction Reviews
One of my favesThis product leaves skin smooth and fresh. My only gripe is it really burns the inside of my nose. I like to use this around my bikini area too when hair starts growing back from a wax. Good amount of product for the cost. May not be suitable for cystic acne as it has scrub properties. More skincare tips at blogspot: The Lady Grind Twitter: BCmakeup — 2 years, 6 months agoBCmakeup | 81 reviews
great exfoliatorI first tried this product a few years ago, and I loved it. My skin felt smooth, looked luminous and the scent was wonderful. I like how this works and think that my skin looks more radiant after each use. I use it approximately every three weeks, since I feel that's enough for my skin. (I alternate with regular facial scrubs). My advice would be to apply it to a slightly damp face if you have sensitive skin and to be careful when applying it, since it can make your eyes sting for a bit. — 2 years, 6 months agoLilo_jane | 15 reviews
Pretty goodI like it. It does the job. Just DO NOT get it in your eyes. — 3 years, 3 months agomarie_annoual | 8 reviews
Fancy exfoliatorWhile this does a really good job and sloughing off a lot of the dead skin, it requires a lot of time and work if you want this to work to its full potential. Plus it's hard to be sure to wash all of it off. I have to use it in the shower so I can wash my hair afterwards because the cream always seem to get into my hairline and it takes a lot to wash it off. You first put on the cream on a dry ...read moreface with dry hands and spend 1 to 2 minutes or so scrubbing it in then you add the water and spend another 1 to 2 minutes scrubbing THAT in and again, it's hard to really wash it all off. It does a good job, but you spend so much time doing it that any exfoliator can do just as well. — 3 years, 8 months agoJ_Mullins | 24 reviews
Seems as if it has changedI recently bought Origins Modern Friction in their new packaging. It is now in a tube type form and offers a bit more product than the original package. I have to say at $37 it's a bit pricey and not as effective as it use to be. I don't see much of a difference when I am using this. I actually feel I get the same results when I use St. Ives Apricot facial scrub. Going forward I would seek out a less pricey item that has gotten good reviews. — 4 years, 2 months agodolores1963 | 3 reviews
Good product, but not for the price...I bought this product on a whim with the promise from the sales rep of diminished discoloration from pimples. I used religiously for about a month, but the product made my face feel like it was burning and it caused a lot of irritation...there are a lot of other microderm scrubs out there that feel more invigorating rather than hot and irritating. Try Clinique's instant facial or Philosophy's microderm scrub. — 4 years, 11 months agoTTLBeautyAddict | 24 reviews
ONLY THE BEST...Makes my skin feel baby smooth. Not over-drying. You don't need very much for results. I use this product at least twice a week. This is one product I can't and don't intend to live without. THANK YOU ORIGINS!! — 5 years agoplanetbeans | 4 reviews
Great stuff!This did a wonderful job of exfoliating. My skin feels squeaky clean and looks great! It has an incredible, fresh citrus scent that's a nice pick-me-up. I would have to say there are two negatives, though: 1) I feel $35 is a bit much for an exfoliant (that said, I'll continue to pay it for this!) 2) Watch it around the eyes. I accidentally got some in my eye while rinsing and it really stung! This is will be a mainstay to my line-up. — 5 years, 3 months agolibbykins | 69 reviews
good exfoliaterThis is a great choice for people with sensitive skin. It is rice based, so it is gentle yet effective. My skin always looks great the next day. — 5 years, 3 months agopspetralia | 9 reviews
A perfect 10!I have dry, sensitive skin so finding a scrub that doesn't hurt was a long ordeal. This is gentle enough for me but it completely did the trick. The bumps I had on my forehead decreased by half the very first time I used it. The second time, they were completely gone. My skin is smooth and soft, just like I like it! — 5 years, 4 months agoannystrider | 1 reviews

A Recent Consumer Survey Found That 68% Of Female Pepper Spray Owners Said They Bought It For Themselves. Most Pepper Spray Owners Own Mace Brand Pepper Spray Than All Other Brands Combined. (Photo: Business Wire)
One year after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was gunned down near his Miami home by a neighborhood watch volunteer, millions of U.S. residents are embracing the non-lethal self-protection that Mace pepper spray provides.
A recent consumer survey found that 68% of female pepper spray owners said they bought it for themselves. Most pepper spray owners own Mace brand pepper spray than all other brands combined. (Photo: Business Wire)
"None of us will ever really know what happened in Miami Gardens last year," said John McCann, President and CEO of Mace Security International. "But we do know that a tragedy could have been averted if George Zimmerman had chosen to protect himself with Mace instead of a deadly weapon."
A recent online survey of pepper spray owners conducted by Balance Inc., a strategic design consultancy located in Cleveland, indicates that record numbers of U.S. adults now rely upon pepper spray for self-protection. The blind survey was conducted using a nationally representative sample of respondents provided by Harris Interactive, an independent, global survey firm. Commissioned by Mace Security International, the survey also revealed interesting purchasing trends among pepper spray carriers:
- More pepper spray owners own Mace brand pepper spray than all other brands combined (51% own Mace brand pepper spray)
- Almost eight out of ten users purchased the pepper spray for themselves.
- 71% of respondents said they purchased their pepper spray in the past year.
- 68% of female pepper spray owners said they bought it themselves; 32% said a spouse, family member or friend had purchased the pepper spray for them.
- 95% of male pepper spray owners said they bought it for themselves.
- 32% bought their pepper spray at a sporting goods store; 18% at a big box store; 15% at an outdoor products store; and 15% through an online retailer such as amazon.com or mace.com.
- 69% are satisfied with their pepper spray because it makes them feel safer or view the product as being effective.
- 48% of Generation Y (ages 18 – 31) pepper spray owners received it as a gift from a parent.
- 45% of Generation X (ages 32 – 47) pepper spray owners received it as a gift from a spouse.
- For 58% of Baby Boomers (ages 48 – 66), the pepper spray came from a friend or other family member.
"These survey results confirm the sales trends that Mace is a safe deterrent in these troubling times."

U.S. consumers may soon be paying more for beef because of misinformation about the safety of lean, finely textured beef that has been dubbed "pink slime" by food activists, Texas Governor Rick Perry said.
Retailers who stop using the product at a time when the size of the Texas herd of beef cattle is at an all-time low because of the state's record drought is a "formula for a fairly significant price hike in beef for no valid reason," Perry said today during a press conference in South Sioux City, Nebraska. The product is made of beef trim and treated with ammonium hydroxide to kill pathogens.
Beef Products Inc. has temporarily suspended output of the product at three plants because of consumer concerns. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said yesterday that the meat is safe to eat.
Beef is a $7.5 billion industry in Texas, according to Perry, who spoke at the press conference with state leaders including governors Terry Branstad of Iowa and Sam Brownback of Kansas. Eldon and Regina Roth, the co-founders of Beef Products, were also in attendance.

Solar And Electric Vehicle Cross-Marketing Strategies
NEW YORK, March 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Solar and Electric Vehicle Cross-Marketing Strategies
The number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) on roadways will grow rapidly to more than 3,000,000 globally by 2017. Most PEV owners pay attention to the nature of the power that charges their vehicles, preferring clean renewable power such as solar. These customers are prime targets for residential solar installers, as many PEV owners own homes that can accommodate a sufficiently sizable solar array to generate all of the power that their vehicles would consume on an annual basis.Automotive companies have marketing budgets that far surpass the reach of the smaller and more regional solar installation companies. By collaborating, solar and PEV companies have the potential to expand both of their markets by reducing the combined installation costs of vehicle charging equipment and solar panels by sharing equipment and electrical contracting expenses. Together, these two industries can provide a complete solution that enables emissions-free driving as well as clean, low-cost electricity. This Navigant Research report details the strategies that solar companies and PEV manufacturers can adopt to grow their markets, by explaining the immediate and long-term financial benefits of replacing fossil fuels with carbon-free electrons for both home and transportation energy. The report outlines the technical and financial background data needed to create compelling consumer outreach and the collaborative programs that PEV and solar PV sellers can develop to make solar and PEVs more affordable and cost-effective for consumers and fleet operators. Key Questions Addressed: • How can the solar and PEV industries benefit by working together? • What programs can be developed to increase interest in home EV charging using solar?

he next summer Lin and Shuyu went to the divorce court again. The day before setting out for Wujia Town, he had talked with her, promising to take good care of her and their daughter after the divorce, so she had agreed to it. He told her that all he wanted was a home in the city.
They waited almost an hour in the courtroom before the judge appeared. He was a tall police officer who had just been promoted to the position; he was so corpulent that he had no neck. Having sat down on a scarlet leatherette chair, the judge licked his buck teeth, then peered at the couple with one eye open and the other shut, as though aiming a gun. His broad, greasy face reminded Lin of the day statue of a local god in the Divine Horse Shrine west of Goose Village. With his left hand picking a wart under his nostril and with his right forefinger pointing at Lin, the judge ordered, "Now, present your case."
Lin began with a slight stammer: "Respectable Judge, I--I came here today to beg you to allow me to divorce my wife. We have been separated for six years, and there's no love between us anymore. According to the Marriage Law, every citizen has the freedom to choose a wife or a hus-"
"Excuse me," the judge cut him short. "May I remind you that the law does not say every married man is entitled to a divorce? Go on."
Lin was flustered. He remained silent for a moment while his face was burning. Then he resumed warily, "I understand that, Comrade Judge, but my wife has already agreed to a divorce. We have worked out an arrangement between us, and I shall financially support her and our child afterward. Believe me, I'm a responsible man."
As he was speaking, Shuyu covered her mouth with a crumpled piece of paper. Her eyes were closed as though her scalp were smarting.
The judge turned to her after Lin was finished. "Comrade Shuyu Liu, I have a few questions for you. Now promise me you will think about them carefully before you answer me."
"I will." She nodded.
"What's the true reason that your husband wants a divorce?"
"Don't have a clue."
"Is there a third party involved?"
"What that mean?"
The young scribe, sitting behind the judge and taking notes, shook his head, blinking his round eyes. The judge went on, "I mean, has he been seeing another woman?"
"I reckon there must be lots of them around him in the army. He's a handsome man, you know."
The scribe chuckled, but the judge kept a stern face. "Answer me, do you know if he's having an affair with another woman?"
"I'm not sure. He said he needs a family in the city."
"A family with another woman?"
"Probably true."
"I have a final question for you. Do you still have feelings for him?"
"Oh yes, of course," she moaned, then broke out sobbing, as the last question had touched her heart.
"Do you still love him?"
"Yes." She nodded, wiping her tears, too moved to say more.
The judge turned to her husband. "Well, Officer Lin Kong, you must confess to the court whether you have a mistress in the city."
"I don't have a mistress, Comrade Judge," he said in a shaking voice, realizing that the judge meant to drag Manna into the case.
"Even if you have no mistress, there must be an illicit love affair."
"I've never had an affair."
"Then with whom will you form a new family in Muji? Another man?"
"Oh no. With a friend of mine."
"What's her name?"
"Is that relevant to this case, Comrade Judge?"
"Of course it is. We have to investigate and find out your true relationship with her before we can decide how to handle your request for a divorce."
"She has nothing to do with this. We have a relationship of pure comradeship."
"Then why are you so reluctant to tell me her name and work unit? Do you feel too ashamed, or do you want to cover something up?"
"I... I..." Sweat was breaking out on Lin's face.
The judge folded a yellow booklet and with it swatted at a hornet fluttering on the table. He missed the insect, which took off buzzing as if catapulted. He was waiting for the husband to answer the question, but Lin remained speechless, unsure about the consequences if he revealed Manna's name. He glanced at the judge, whose thick-lidded eyes were half closed as though he were about to doze off. Uncertainty kept Lin from saying anything.
Having waited almost two minutes, the judge cleared his throat and concluded, "All right. If you had not done anything to be ashamed of, you would not be afraid of a ghost knocking at your door. We cannot proceed with this case unless you provide us with that woman's name, age, workplace, and marital status. Go home and come again when you have the needed information ready. In the meantime, you must treat your wife decently, like a friend and comrade. The court will check on that." He smiled with one eye screwed up.
Lin knew it was no use to argue, so he said diffidently, "All right, we'll come again."
As if in a trance, he rose to his feet and turned to the door, Shuyu following. His right leg had gone to sleep and made him limp a little.
While the couple were inside the courthouse, Bensheng and a dozen men from Goose Village had stood outside, waving spades, flails, hoes, shoulder poles. They threatened to create a disturbance if the judge granted Lin a divorce. A large crowd gathered on the street, believing the maddened villagers were going to beat up the unfaithful husband. Nobody wanted to miss such a spectacle. The judge called the county's Military Department, which immediately dispatched a militia platoon to keep order outside the courthouse.
"So he's a big officer or something? Still he mustn't be bigger than the law," a middle-aged woman said to others.
"Even an emperor isn't free to divorce his wife," a toothless crone put in.
"Men are all alike, beasts."
An old man in bifocals retorted, "A woman shouldn't be allowed to divorce either, or else there'll be disorder everywhere. The order of the world is rooted in every family, as Confucius said."
"What a heartless animal!"
"He has no reason to do this to her."
"The army should send him back and let him scratch a living out of the earth."
"I heard he's a doctor."
"Small wonder he has no heart. Doctors are butchers."
To the dismay of some of them, the judge had turned down Lin's petition and therefore precluded the anticipated spectacle. Seeing the husband and wife come out of the courthouse, some spectators whispered that the couple indeed didn't match. The husband looked quite gentle, in no way like an evil, abusive man, whereas the wife was as thin as a chicken whose flesh, if cooked, couldn't fill a plate. If they were so different, they might not be able to avoid conflicts. But that should provide no grounds for divorce, because it was normal for a married couple to have a quarrel or even a fist fight once in a while. A good marriage was full of moments of cats and dogs. It was the uneventful marriage that was headed toward disaster. In a word, the differences between the husband and the wife should only help stabilize their marriage.
Lin's face turned bloodless when he saw so many eyes in the crowd glaring at him. Hurriedly he and Shuyu left the courthouse for the bus stop. All the way home he didn't say a word.
After the couple had left, the militia was withdrawn from the courthouse. But it took half an hour for the crowd to disperse completely. The ground was littered with popsicle wrappers and sticks, bottle caps, cucumber ends, patches of melon seeds.

Anti-Gun Legislation Looming Over Cook County, Illinois!
When Cook County voters go to the polls this Election Day, November 7, they will be faced with the opportunity to vote on Countywide Advisory Referendum 1a non-binding referendum that seeks to urge the State of Illinois to ban countless semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns, as well as all .50 caliber rifles.
The Cook County Board could just as easily have given the voters of Cook County an opportunity to voice their support for any number of proven crime-fighting measures, but certain anti-gun extremists on the Board have chosen to promote a statewide version of the federal gun ban that was such a complete failure in combating violent crime that Congress allowed it to expire two years ago.

From Manteo, on the North Carolina coast, to Murphy, N. C., beyond the Smokies, is 618 miles by highway. Yet only three points on that long road are more than twenty miles from a state sponsored birth-control clinic. No spot in all the big state is more than fifty miles from such a centre. North Carolina, the first of the forty-eight states to promote birth control officially, is going at the job in earnest.
North Carolina is pioneering because it has a public-health officer who spent twenty-five years as a country doctor, practicing among North Carolina's poor. He knows why North Carolina has virtually the nation's worst record on all matters connected with births. Ignorance, poverty, insanitation, disease, poor hospital facilities, little if any prenatal care -- all these contribute to infant and maternal mortality rates that are truly appalling.
Of each thousand mothers, twice as many die in North Carolina as in Connecticut. The chances that a North Carolina baby will die in its first year are 66 in 1000, compared with Connecticut's infant mortality rate of 40 and the nation's 54. Some 20,000 North Carolina mothers each year are attended by midwives, most of them untrained and ignorant of asepsis. Abortions and infanticide are rife, especially among the large Negro population. If the nation bred at the North Carolina rate, we should have a crop of 700,000 more babies a year. That might be wholly desirable -- but not if the extra babies are born into indigent, dirty homes where they are not wanted and where their chances of survival are poor.
To improve conditions so that dirt, poverty, and disease will disappear is, of course, the ideal solution. But that, to put it mildly, will take time, involving long-term medical and economic campaigns on a dozen fronts. Birth control, in the meantime, offers immediate help. Its advocates point out that at least the family without much to eat ought to have the choice as to whether it wants to bring another high chair to the table. Birth control, they say, can help to stop the infant and maternal carnage and in the end build a healthier and perhaps even a larger population.
So, too, believed Dr. George M. Cooper, to whom the appalling statistics represent people he knows. Dr. Cooper is a native of the Tarheel State, and during a quarter century of country practice he listened, observed, and sympathized. He knew many a girl wife living in a two-room mountain shack with six children and a tuberculous husband. He had heard women tearfully beg, 'Isn't there something we can do?'
He had seen a Negro couple married seventeen years who had produced twenty children -- twelve of them to die in infancy. Good, hard-working people, desperately poor -- bewildered. 'I'm for any way that will keep me from having another child,' the mother pleaded. 'Any way so long as I can keep from losing that man I got.'
When he became director of preventive medicine of the State Board of Health, Dr. Cooper preached to fellow physicians and laymen alike that North Carolina could not climb far toward better health and happiness without birth control for the poor. But his hands were tied. Unlike most states, North Carolina had no law against spreading birth-control information, but there was always the federal law -- the old Cornstock law, dating from 1878, which frightened every physician in the country into complete silence with its untested but threatening provisions. It was not until the autumn of 1936 that the federal courts ruled the law could not prevent physicians from using contraceptives 'for the purpose of saving life or promoting the well-being of their patients.' That was the battle Margaret Sanger won. It freed the doctors, but it wasn't much immediate help to those who most needed help. There were no funds for birth-control clinics, and Dr. Cooper knew the futility of taking a contraceptive promotion program before a state legislature. The situation seemed hopeless as ever.
Thereupon Fate interposed a finger. Years before, Dr. Cooper had counseled a young woman who wanted to become a nurse, had suggested Roosevelt Hospital, New York, for her training, had kept in touch with her. In 1937 she was nurse in charge of an experimental program, giving birth-control information to the natives of the densely populated little island of Bocagrande, off the Florida Everglades. The work was being financed by Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, an heir of the Procter and Gamble soap fortune, who lived in Philadelphia. Homesick, Roberta Pratt kept talking about North Carolina, and eventually she got Dr. Gamble interested. One day she was able to send word to Dr. Cooper that the philanthropist was willing to provide the funds for a three months' program in the Tarheel State.
Dr. Cooper looked the gift horse straight in the mouth. He said he would accept a year's financing -- not three months -- if no strings were attached to the gift. There were long-distance telephone consultations. Dr. Gamble agreed, put a check for $929,250 in the mails for a starter, and on March 15, 1937, Dr. Cooper had the only state health department in the United States at work on birth control.
He realized that he was out on a limb. Although he had the backing of his chief and some important laymen, his program was launched without the formal endorsement of any North Carolina organization. He was warned the limb might break. It hasn't broken.

Ok good news, spring revelers: spring is here. At least that's what the calendar says — meteorologically, spring may still be a few weeks away.
Spring! Just the word makes us feel jittery, full of the famous restive energy that abounds this time of year. Most of the time, we look forward to cheering up after we adjust to the end of daylight savings time, after it gets light again in the early morning and stays sunny right through the late afternoon. We start feeling the urge to get a-moving, to want to mix it up, get some excitement thrown in, refresh, renew, recharge, get lively, shake it up, recommit, take it up a notch, make it happen, get fired up, get jazzed, kick it in gear, and have at it. Hopefully, the restive energy we feel can be harnessed for the good.
But the realities of spring fever, as we call it, are often much more complex. This is the time of year when internal biologic systems do indeed rev up and we feel the results. Neurotransmitter levels, transmembrane protein receptor densities, hormonal balance, and basal metabolic rate all make their seasonal shifts. There's an increase in energy that cannot and should not be ignored. That's why I recommend you tune in early to what is coming up inside and try to take control.

Mexico thumped New Zealand 5-1 in the first leg of their qualifying playoff to take a massive step towards a place in next year's World Cup finals.
After scoring just three goals in their last four CONCACAF qualifiers at home, Mexico rediscovered their scoring touch as they outclassed the Oceania champions at the Azteca Stadium.
"The team were sensational, I'm very happy because the lads did a phenomenal job, they gave their all," said Mexico coach Miguel Herrera in Mexico City on Wednesday.
"We needed an aggressive and dynamic team with lots of determination because we needed to win the match."
Defender Paul Aguilar opened the scoring for 'El Tri' in the 32nd minute and Raul Jimenez quickly added a second to give Mexico a 2-0 lead at halftime.
Striker Oribe Peralta scored twice in the second half and Rafael Marquez added the fifth.
Under the guidance of Herrera, their fourth coach of the qualifying campaign, Mexico had no problems overcoming New Zealand, who allowed the Mexicans to dictate the match after adopting a defensive approach.
Chris James grabbed a late consolation goal for New Zealand who will host the return leg in Wellington on November 20 with the winners advancing to next year's tournament in Brazil.
"The worst we can do is think it's settled," Peralta said.
"We must win there and we still have a lot to improve. We're a small step from getting what we're looking for."
Mexico have qualified for every World Cup since they hosted the finals in 1986, with the exception of 1990 when they were banned by FIFA after fielding over-age players in a youth tournament, but almost failed this time.

Part Two of this week's chat with the National Football Post's Wes Bunting reviews his method of projecting and grading players in their senior years and gives a scouting report on a highly rated outside linebacker prospect.
Cowboys Nation: Talk about projecting players. That's part of any scouts job and certainly of any draftniks' job. You have to take these guys who are 20, 21 years old and tell us not only where they'll be in October, November and December of this year, but in October, November, December of 2012 as pros. How tricky is that?
Wes Bunting: It's very hard. When did we start talking about Danny Watkins, October? November? I was in love with his game, but when I watched him him as a junior, and everybody knows his backstory, it was only his third year playing football. When I watched him as a junior, I thought he's strong, he's really raw. I gave him a late round grade, to be honest.
Then I saw him again as a senior, and that maturation process had taken place, and he was more comfortable with his technique and his offense with just one more year of playing, and I thought, this isn't the same guy I saw before. I had to throw out his junior report and write another one, because this guy got tremendously better. As a junior he was learning his trade and as a senior, he was one of the best offensive linemen in the country.
CN: Tell us then what you do now? People can go to your site and read the Alabama and the Auburn reports and you've singled out players, but are these preliminary reports? How do you modify them during the season?
WB: If I had to submit a scouting report to the National Football Post for a Josh Chapman, this is what I would give them. I'd slap a grade on him, but this is what what it is. Now, I'll have to watch these guys again as seniors. What I'll do during the year, I'll start watching some of the bigger school guys on TV, just to get a feel for where they are, then I'll get another big shipment of tapes around gave five or game six and I'll go back and watch, with these junior reports sitting next to me.
If what I see matched up with what I wrote initially, I'll keep it pretty much the same, and I'll be happy because it's less work. But if I'm watching another Danny Watkins and the initial scouting report says this guy gets a 5.0 grade and his senior tape says he's a 7.5, then I'm way off and I'll have to write up a new one. Now not everyone is that significant in his change. Some seniors might change their instincts and their feel for the game.
I was doing Lawrence Wilson the other day, the linebacker from UConn. I said he didn't have a great feel in coverage as a junior. Now I watch him again as a senior and he greatly improved. Now, I'm not taking out the part which said he struggled as a junior. That's a fact, but at the same time, I'm adding that he's dramatically improved in this area as a senior and I now feel he can hold his own as a nickel backer. So you're just adding, or taking stuff away, based on what these guys do from their junior to their senior years.

Posted by administrator | Posted in Horse Fables | Posted on 03-10-2010
Prince Alfred sat on one corner of the paradise like garden and watched the children play. He was no longer a little boy – he was now an adolescent and very soon his father, King Edward, was to pass on the empire to him. He was both happy and nervous.
"Soon my days of youth will pass into days of maturity, and responsibilities will increase three folds!", he thought to himself. As he remembered his days in the forest, when he went riding on the back of his favorite horse, Bo – Alfred's eyes filled with tears. He closed his eyes for a moment and relived those moments when Bo, the chestnut stallion would leap over yards of flowing golden grass, over lakes and sheds and how Alfred would hold on to the leather strap – a proud rider of the stallion. Those days when Bo would violently rush from the forests to the backyard of the palace only to le Alfred know that it was daybreak and hence the best time to ride up to the hills to catch a glimpse of the rising sun – how Alfred would leap out of his bed – and how the fresh morning zephyr laden with the smell of grapes and flowers would greet him – the fabulous days with Bo were no longer there.
Weeks ago, it was announced in the village that Alfred was soon to be crowned the king and the new King would have his own horse to ride – his special pet. Ever since, the many stable owners had begun preparing their highbred horses to fit the King's desire and be the chosen one. Among this entire jiffy, one forest chestnut stallion, Bo was lost. He ventured deep into the forest never to return. This caused Alfred immense pain. The sudden separation from a friend, a companion, a faithful one! Alfred's life was about to change – on one hand was the happiness of being able to serve his country men, and on the other hand was the sudden detachment from his life at the forest.
For one last time, Alfred thought he would try to find out where Bo was – he wanted to see his dear stallion once before everything changed. The soldiers were sent out, but they came back with no answers.
"Oh Bo! Where are you? I so long to see you my friend!", Alfred sighed.
Just then, Alfred heard a loud neigh outside the window of his huge room. He leaned outside, but could see nothing. Saddened, Alfred decided to go off to sleep and dream of his days with the magnanimous beast one last time. The very next morning was Alfred's coronation – and he had heard murmurs around the village that the selection for the new King's horse had been made already. Alfred's eyes filled with tears, as he remembered his days, when he had wanted Bo to be the special pet.
Alfred was dressed in velvety gowns and there on his head, stood firm – the crown. Now he was King Alfred. The moment arrived when the King was summoned to the stables to ride his horse for the very first time. From a distance, Alfred could see a horse covered in all jewels and the best leather saddle ever. Then when he moved his eyes around it, Alfred noticed that this was a chestnut horse. His heart felt a sudden pang. As he moved closer, Alfred could hear heart beats that he was very familiar with. Suddenly the horse raised its face and when it saw Alfred, it stood on it hind hooves and neighed joyously.
Alfred couldn't hold himself back and immediately hugged Bo. "Oh Bo ! Where were you! Where were you!"
He climbed up the saddle and pulled Bo's strap, indicating him to once again take Alfred among the valleys, the lakes and leap over the fences like they always had.
"King Alfred! King Alfred..!", the minister tried to call.
"Stop me not sir! The King is off take a ride of the world!", Alfred said laughing out with joy, as he rode away into the forests.

Enjoy Scenic Waterfront and Lush Greenery Park from the comfort of your home
The original Concept Plan for Jurong Lake District (JLD) was mooted in 1991 and by then, URA had started talks with industry experts and various stakeholders on the expansionary plans for tourism, retail and entertainment center in JLD. This put the plans into actions, transforming what was once an industrial-centric estate to fast becoming one of Singapore's regional centre and commercial hub.
Today, just barely 5 years after, we are seeing these plans materializing and in no time, creating what it envisaged to become. Now, how far do these plans stretch? The JLD is a district of Singapore. It comprise of two zones, namely Jurong Gateway and Lakeside. The Jurong Gateway area, located around the Jurong East MRT Station, spans about 70 ha, and is to be used for offices, hotels, F&B and entertainment.
The Lakeside area, on the other hand, spans about 290 ha, and will house a lakeside village, boardwalks, hotels and other entertainment facilities. With all intent and purposes, the JLD is to develop into a vibrant commercial hub; the biggest outside the city centre. Yes, indeed, it will be a major regional centre in the west of Singapore, with a total of 360 hectares in size and will be served by two major expressways and three MRT stations. The three stations are Jurong East, Chinese Garden and Lakeside.
Will There Be Something For Everyone?
The promise lies with the excellent mix of office, retail, residential, hotel, entertainment, F&B and other complementary uses, creating an ecosystem that is both self-sufficient and inter-dependent of the other commercial hubs. This makes it an extremely appealing environment for company HQs, business services and companies in similar sectors to strive and build on each other strengths.
In this case, in the science and technology sectors, building literally seamless connectivity and not having the need to travelling too frequently beyond the hub. The land over at Jurong Gateway has been designed to house at least 46,451sqft of office space and another 23,225 sqft of retail, F&B and entertainment uses. This ensures that there are sufficient choices. In addition, there would be at least 2,800 hotel rooms developed to cater to business travellers and visitors to the leisure destinations around the lake. There would also be 1,000 or more homes introduced around Jurong East MRT station to add vitality and create a "live, work, play and learn" environment.
In 2013, the J Gateway project by MCL Land was launched with scepticism that the property prices were already high and interest would likely be muted. As it turns out, the project was a big sell-out on the preview day, leaving many analysts baffled and thousands of agents unnerved and restless as there were none left to sell just a day after. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
Seamless Connections, More Greenery
There will be two expressways that are accessible to JLD, one is the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) and the other is the Ayer-Rajah Expressway (AYE). For the MRT, Jurong East MRT station is an interchange and links between the East-West line and North-South line. Through an extensive network of pedestrian links and landscape malls, most major walk ways, if not all, are likely to be sheltered, allowing pedestrians to walk conveniently and comfortably to most developments and public facilities around the area. The bus interchange will be air-conditioned, similar to Boon Lay, Serangoon, Clementi, Bedok, Joo Koon and Marina South.
Visitors will also experience lush greenery with new landscaped open spaces and park connectors introduced at the street-level. Sky rise and rooftop greenery will also be on many of the buildings in the area. Buildings around the Jurong East MRT station will step down towards the lake, allowing more to enjoy panoramic views of the lake.
Shopping, Dining And Recreation
J Cube (formerly Jurong Entertainment Centre), redeveloped and opened 2011, operated by CapitaMalls Asia Jem, a newly opened lifestyle suburban mall developed by Lend Lease, opened in 2013 and comes with integration of shopping, entertainment and residence at the same location. Westgate, comprising a 7-storey mall and a 20-storey office tower, just broke ground and is expected to open in 2014, developed by Capitaland. The malls have been able to attract brand names like Franc Franc (J Cube), Robinson's (Jem) and H&M (Jem) as anchor tenants, which attests to both the strength of the operators' brand names and also the retailers' confidence in buying power in the heartlands.
Ample Choice of Good Schools
Conveniently located in and around the JLD, young children can go to good schools like Nan Hua Primary School in Clementi, Yu Hua Primary School in Jurong East to Rulang in Jurong West. Jurong Junior College, River Valley High School and the Canadian International School are also within vicinity. The National University and the Nanyang Technological University is accessible by public transport.
Public Housing and Private Homes
With new facilities and services introduced and the existing undergoing regular minor improvements and upgrading, residents in the West Region will continue to enjoy a high quality living environment. Over the next few years, new community clubs will be built for the HIllvew and Keat Hong estates and this will provide a wide range of lifestyle programmes and activities. There is also new health and medical care facilities ready by end 2014 to serve the growing healthcare needs of our population. This includes The Ng Teng Fong General Hospital that is set to begin operations in end 2014 and the Jurong Community Hospital in 2015. Over at Bukit Batok, which is not too far off from the JLD, The Ren Ci Nursing Home will be set up in 2015 to cater to the silver population.
Jurong East is set to become a very major transportation, economic and financial zone for Singapore.

Nationstar Woes Take Pressure Off Ocwen
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Ocwen Financial Corp. (OCN) shares posted gains Wednesday after a regulator that appeared to be targeting the mortgage servicer also went after its chief rival, Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NSM).
Shares of Nationstar, a mortgage servicer controlled by Fortress Investment Group (FIG), lost 2.5% Wednesday after New York Superintendent Department of Financial Services Ben Lawsky sent a letter to the company indicating it had received "hundreds of complaints from New York consumers" about Nationstar, related to issues such as improper fees and lost paperwork.
"Explosive growth at Nationstar and other nonbank mortgage servicers may create capacity issues that put homeowners at risk," the letter stated.
Ocwen shares, on the other hand, gained 1.37% on the day.Lawsky has raised similar issues about Ocwen. He has also targeted conflicts between Ocwen and other companies overseen by company Chairman Bill Erbey But the fact that Lawsky was also targeting Nationstar seemed to take the pressure off Ocwen for the time being. "The NY DFS action taken against a peer suggests a broader net, which we think is a modest positive for OCN versus a narrow focus," wrote Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst Kenneth Bruce in reiterating his "buy" rating on Ocwen in a research note published Thursday. --Written by Dan Freed in New York Follow @dan_freed

Two men have been charged with robbing a woman of her purse on a Saturday afternoon six weeks ago in the Myers Park neighborhood, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say.
Investigators said a woman told them she was on the 1300 block of Queens Road, about a block from Providence Road, around 3:30 p.m. March 1 when a white van pulled up with two men inside. The woman said one man got out, walked up to her, and demanded her purse.
After getting the woman's purse, the two men drove away, police said. The woman was not injured, according to investigators.
Police said detectives developed information leading them to Deareus Sims, 20, as a suspect in the case. Sims was found March 24 at a residence on Parkdale Drive, near Tuckaseegee Park in west Charlotte. After being questioned by police, Sims was charged with common law robbery, conspiracy to commit common law robbery and obtaining property by false pretense.
A second suspect, identified as 42-year-old Gerald Desmaratte, was located Tuesday on Little Rock Road in northwest Charlotte. Desmaratte was charged with common law robbery and felony conspiracy.
Police ask that anyone with information in this case contact Crime Stoppers, 704-334-1600.

Summer 2004
GOV s370L • 1 - Election Campaigns
Course Description
This course is designed to introduce you to American political campaigns and elections through lectures and readings. This course is not designed to serve as a "how to" manual for aspiring politicans or consultants. It is more theoretical than practical. Still, some nuts and bolts information is essential and will be part of the curriculum. My main focus is on federal elections, though references are made to state and local elections. We spend some time revisiting past campaigns elections in order to contrast and explicate contemporary American electoral politics. The lectures and readings pay particular attention to the presidential election of 2000. The race between George W. Bush and Al Gore is not only the most recent, but provides vivid details supplementing the theoretical and descriptive points raised in the course.
As with the lower-division version of this course, there are three primary objectives. The first is to provide basic information about American elections and electioneering by examining both the rules of the game and the players. The second is to develop analytical skills with which to analyze complex relationships and phenomena. The third is to introduce you to the work of the political scientist by concentrating on paradigms and techniques of the discipline. Unlike the lower-division course, the emphasis is on the latter two goals.
Grading Policy
Keep in mind that the lectures parallel, but do not repeat the readings. Because of this and the potential quizzes, not attending class is a particularly bad practice.

Photo Credit: ELLE Magazine; Harper's Bazaar
What do the fall issues of Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Glamour have in common, besides chic fashions? They all feature an A-list celebrity over age 40 on the cover: Julia Roberts, 42, Jennifer Aniston, 41, Halle Berry, 43, and Jennifer Lopez, 41. Add Julianna Margulies, 44, on Redbook and you've got five major magazines sporting September cover girls who would better be described as cover women. So: does this mean that 40 is the new 20? Au contraire -- it means that 40 is the new 40! And that is a very good thing.
For the first time in Hollywood history, the most desirable leading ladies are women who have passed, or are approaching, the big four-oh. Sandra Bullock, 46, and Aniston, 41, are the reigning queens of the romantic comedy -- and now, nobody blinks if they're older than their leading men. (Aniston was paired with Ben Affleck, four years younger, in 2009's He's Just Not That Into You; Bullock teamed with Ryan Reynolds, 13 years younger, in The Proposal). The ad campaign for Eat Pray Love is based almost entirely on the beauty and likability of Julia Roberts. And Jennifer Lopez may be a mother of two, but she can rock a miniskirt like nobody else.
Celebrating the sex appeal of an older woman was once taboo, but now actresses seem to be saving their nude scenes until they're good and ready -- even if it means being 42 like Marisa Tomei in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, or 57 like Diane Keaton in Something's Gotta Give, or 44 like Mary Louise Parker on the series Weeds. Aniston has yet to do a nude scene, but you can bet that when she does, people will be lining up to see it.
Not only are older actresses now bona fide sex symbols and fashion plates, but they're also raking in unprecedented salaries. Bullock was just named the highest-paid actress of the year, earning $56 million dollars. Other Top 10 earners: Aniston, Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, 45, and Meryl Streep, 61. Once upon a time, these women would have been relegated to playing housewives and nurses as they aged out of "ingenue" casting opportunities; now, they're competing for romantic leads with younger actresses -- and winning! It's about time.
When asked about older women dominating September covers, Julia Roberts joked that she'd rather see the headline: 'Cute Girls Dominate September Covers.' But that kind of misses the point. Everybody knows these woman are cute (that's why they're on magazine covers, silly). The fact that they're all over 40 shouldn't matter in an ideal world -- but to get to that ideal world, we first have to acknowledge that women over 40 are as sexy, as talented, and as worthy of attention as their younger counterparts. And this September's magazine racks are a fantastic step in that direction.
Do you think older women will continue to dominate Hollywood, or is it a passing trend? Chime in below!

What was good yesterday might not be a good today. Asbestos was a great fireproof building material until it was found to cause asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma Thalidomide was a great drug for morning sickness until it was discovered it caused birth defects. Those tax shelters in the early 1980s saves taxpayers a lot of money before the Tax Reform Act of 1996 killed them with limit on passive activity losses. What was good then isn't good now and what is good now may not be good tomorrow. As a retirement plan sponsor you have to understand what isn't good now and you need to be concerned what might not be good later.
