"Love Sandra but not this"
I am a fan of Sandra Tsing Loh but found this un-listenable. It's a live performance in front of a theatre audience and she seems to have lacked confidence that her normal low key humor and subtle reading would carry the day. She is practically screeching much of the time; I hardly recognized her. Cleary she learned with later experience that less is more. I'll bet if she went back into the studio and re-did this piece it would be great, but as it is your better off without it.

- 0Aug 26, '13 by XNJH90XAs far as I know, the uniforms are ONLY to be worn when you go to clinical sites because you are representing the school. Also, that would've been nice to know that we need our own stethoscope so I could've gotten it! Lol. Oh well. Does anyone know where we are supposed to park? Just in the parking garage? Do we just use our ID badges to get into there?
- 0Aug 26, '13 by dominikaszlThe email said that we need a parking sticker to be able to park in the garage and that we will get that at the ID/Welcome desk or something like that.. I didnt get the stethoscope yet either. I think that we also need to wear the uniform during the Health Assessment and Promotion Lab but I'm not sure
- 0Oct 18, '13 by mbranstiI was just accepted for the Spring semester and I had a couple questions for y'all! First I guess is how are your classes going? Second, I was just wondering how crucial it is to have a vehicle to get to clinical sites and such? I'm moving to from NoDak, and was originally planning on selling my car but not if the clinical sites aren't easy to get to via transit. Thanks!
- 0Dec 24, '13 by SLB86Hell Everyone,
I just want to say Congrats to everyone that started their program Fall 2013!. I am planning on applying for the Summer 2014 cohort. I have a pervious Bachelor Degree in Business Administration.

NEW YORK ( ETF Digest) -- Our goal in this profile is to help investors wade through the many competing ETF offerings available. Using our long experience as an ETF publication, and nearly 40 years in the investment business, we can help select those ETFs that matter and may or may not be repetitive. The result is a more manageable list of issues from which to view and make selections.
China, the world's fastest growing economy, continues to intrigue and draw investors to it. The high rate of economic growth has positive implications for investment opportunities. At the same time, high rates of growth create inflationary pressures, which can quickly cause turmoil and losses for linked equity markets. There remains a level of regulatory and corporate governance mistrust among some investors questioning the accuracy of accounting standards and enforcement.
There are enough ETF choices from which to choose and we provide you with some of the most popular choices. We've cobbled some good choices together and where repetitive choices exist we've paired some together having similarities too hard to ignore.We're not ranking these ETFs favoring one over another so don't let the listing order mislead you. Although we may use some of these in ETF Digest portfolios it's not our intention to recommend one over another. Our technical analysis methodology involves using, where possible, monthly charts with enough data to allow investors to stay on the right side of the 12 month moving averages. Further, when market prices move too far above or below this moving average investors can assume a correction in the other direction will eventually take place. In this regard caution is advised. ProShares and Direxion Shares both offer inverse and leveraged long ETFs for those investors wishing to hedge or speculate. FNI (First Trust Chindia ETF) follows the ISE Chindia ETF which consists of 50 ADRs and or stocks of companies domiciled in China or India. The fund was launched in May 2007. The expense ratio is .60%. AUM (Assets under Management) equal $130 million and average daily trading volume is 48K shares. As of mid-August 2011 the annual dividend was $.05 making the current yield .22% and YTD return -9.50%.

What is your take on multiple family members in room when they have roommate? - page 7
My patient had a roommate who had multiple family members in the room, on the other side of the curtain. And actually a group of them came in around 1 a.m. The families' loved one (pt) had gone through a procedure that evening,... Read More
- 0Ok,I am in the hospital right NOW in Maine.Yesterday,my roomate,a seemingly sweet cancer pt started having many sons and family with loud bullhorn like voices showing up.They were laughing,the women were walking around very loudly clacking their heels,I was by the window,and had to walk by her bed a to get the bathroom.Just had emergency surgery for massive adhesions,14 inch incision,mucho pain.Anyway,these yahoos,were trading "Seinfeld' clips on their computers at full blast and making very racist political comments while the mothers tv was on.I finally said'Um,excuse me.could you please keep it down a little,I just had major surgery and would like a bit of rest?" They were silent for 3 seconds,and just started to laugh.They started making snide comments about not having private rooms anymore because of Obama care and "thats what free care will get ya'...I was hooked up to 3 IV's.So vulnerable.These were rednecks with a bit of money.I complained to the nurse,and she sort of sympathized but said that she thought they would be leaving soon.I told her that in fact,Id heard there were MORE coming to spend the weekend.Now,I didnt ASK to be there,It was a dire emergency.When my mom and husband showed up.they said there were NINE people in the room,and they could barely get though!!!!The nurse brought in a commode dhair,but there were still NINE people on the other side of the curtain,having what appeared to be a rodeo?lol..When the finally got moved to another room,hours later,they had taken the "please dont be too noisy"sign off the board and flipped it over.They were so horrid that I was near tears.The 'sweet old lady said "well,I would think that someone like that,{like what???}would get cheered up by having activity in the room"It had been a horrible experience,and one or two of the sons,had the loudest voice Id ever heard.I think he rather enjoyed the sound of his own voice.The started getting close to the curtain and saying rude things to me.Dropping large stacks of stuff,saying,laughingly,"WHOOPS!!!HOPE IT ISNT BOTHERING ANYONE,HARHARHAR"What would YOU have done?I was pinned to my bed,with a huge abdominal incision,iv lines and post op weakness and pain.The nurses eventually got them out,but only after aboit 6 hours of them abusing and making fun of me.I TOLD the head nurse,and she sympathized,but it took a long time.I told her that she shuld clear out the room NOW!!! Didnt happen.Im wanting to file a complaint but I dont want o get these 2 nurses in trouble.Isnt NINE Giant loud bigoted Mainers a bit much?What should I do? I was sooo sooo soo upset.I think there should be a STRICT 2 person limit and the noise from the bellowing types should be monitered by...security?Is still steamed as hell and dont want anyone to ever have to go thru this.Advice>Thanks yo all in advance.i dont feel that the nurse should have to be the bad guy,but,couldnt she have called security?I was a cna for 20 some years,but in a private geriatric hospital, where this was NEVER an issue.Folks back in the 90's were much more respectful.Im torn,I seem to always be the 'whistle blower'.Should I just walk away? It made me feel so bad tho..And the nurses should be protected.Not to mention the patients..Advice would be so so so welcome!Thanks you guys!.
- 1Sep 22, '12 by JoryThe hospital that I used to work at had very few semi-private rooms, but they had a policy that if one of the patients needed quiet because of condition/procedure/etc...that trumped the other patient from having more than one visitor at a time. Everyone had to leave when one of them went to sleep for the night.
The line of cultural sensitivity ends when it affects the well-being of their roommate.

User Review
My wife and I recently moved in to this complex and after nearly two months we could not be more thrilled about living here. The apartments are simply massive, the staff are the politest and most authentically nice people I have ever had the fortune to live with. I would recommend anybody looking for an apartment to look no further.

What are everyone's opinions on the Grecian Ideal? For those who don't know, the Greeks believed that the male body looks best when perfectly proportioned, based on the measurement of the wrist and using a math equation to determine how big the neck, chest, arms, waist, legs, etc. should be.
I think it's a pretty interesting concept...I really look up to guys like Frank Zane and Bob Paris, who wanted to be big and ripped but not disgustingly huge. I have respect for guys like Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler, but I don't want to look that big. Is anyone else here a natural bodybuilder trying to achieve the "Grecian Ideal" physique?

HUSH Lights Up Venetian to Launch Memory-Storing Tool, Lyve
Brooklyn-based design agency HUSH (who you may remember from their unique way of ringing in 2014) were tasked with launching Lyve, a startup offering a new solution to the problem of information overload, at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. To do this, they transformed two suites in the Venetian Hotel in the heart of Vegas into a completely branded space, complete with "lights, displays, and visuals to showcase Lyve's unique offering."
HUSH's installation was "anchored by a large central screen flanked by a custom designed product display. The screens [showed] a collection of personal images and videos breaking into fragments and transforming into colored lighting illuminating the assortment of tablets, phones, and other devices arrayed on glowing physical pedestals below." The visuals were designed as a kind of metaphor for Lyve's collecting, sorting and protecting service.
As HUSH creative partner David Schwarz explains, "Lyve is an elegant solution to a persistent technological problem, and we were happy to help them define this product while introducing it to the wider world. In words, the offering sounds complex, but showing it visually feels simple – so we created a metaphor to discuss how the different technology platforms capture and share content all to one central product."
While I'm sure you'd have to have been there in person to get the full experience, you can watch HUSH's CES installation for Lyve in the video above, and be sure to stick around for credits after the jump. Read more

What does it mean to be a BCD student? BCD Students Are... Prepared.
Traditional College Prep... With a Contemporary Twist. "At BCD, it's cool to be smart."
"BCD looks at each child in terms of the whole person, not just the academic piece. We also give them the social skills they need to prepare them to succeed in life."– BCD teacher
Your child's day does not end at 3:00 p.m. and neither does the educational experience at Boulder Country Day! At BCD we strive to support the diverse needs of our families. After 3 at BCD is an after school program for BCD students. The program is designed to support working parents and families who need their children to stay at school after 3:00. Our after school program provides meaningful and exciting learning experiences in a safe and caring environment.
After 3 at BCD is composed of two parts:
• After school program - 3:00-5:45
• Specialty Classes
After 3 at BCD (After School Program)
Students who participate in After 3 at BCD are supervised at all times. BCD faculty members escort students at dismissal time to our after school locations.
BCD's youngest students (Preschool, Prekindergarten and Kindergarten) are signed into our after school program "home base" located in the preschool building activity room. Students participate in:
Elementary school students in first through fifth grades are escorted to our school library located in the administration building where we take attendance before the students participate in:
Middle school students participate in our middle school homework club located in the middle school. There is no charge for this service and it is supervised by a member of our middle school faculty. At 4:30pm, students who have not been picked up will join our elementary homework club/activities and be signed in to After 3 at BCD. Charges will be applied from this time onwards. At 5:00 all students will be escorted to the preschool building where they join in age appropriate activities in a mixed-age setting.
We offer two different payment options for our after school program.
Specialty Classes
Specialty classes are offered each trimester and are designed to meet the varied interests of BCD students such as cooking, sports, science, chess, technology, STEM, Lego™ Engineering , etc. Specialty classes can also include a weekly music or voice lesson offered through the Parlando School for the Arts on BCD's campus. Our specialty classes serve the needs of busy parents. We recognize that it is difficult for many parents to schedule specialty classes around their personal schedules and their children's school schedules. Our after school specialty classes save parents time make scheduling easy!
Important Details

School Day Off Camps for students in K – 5th grades
BCD has a partnership with the YMCA of Boulder Valley that provides options for students in kindergarten through 5th grades on some days that BCD is closed. The YMCA's School Day Off Camps are filled with adventure and fun with friends.

Students will stay active, bond with their peers and have plenty of activities, and parents will enjoy the convenience and ease of Y care on non-school days. Children should bring a sack lunch and water bottle and wear appropriate clothing. Healthy snacks will be provided. For more information and to register, click here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I pick up my child if he stays After 3 at BCD?
"Home base" is located in the preschool building activity room. The front door of the building is locked after school hours. Please use the intercom located to the left of the door and speak clearly into the receiver to let our faculty members know that you are at the door. A faculty member will open the door for you. Please note that students may only be picked up by persons designated on a student's emergency contact information.
What if I need to bring my child to school early? Does BCD offer a before school program?
For your convenience, BCD also offers an "Early Bird" before school program beginning at 7:30 a.m. on regular school days. Preschool and prekindergarten age students attend before care in the preschool building. Elementary age students attend before care in the administration building art room. Middle school students attend before care in the middle school. We offer this service free of charge to BCD families.
Who are the teachers working with my children After 3 at BCD?
After 3 at BCD is staffed by highly qualified teaching professionals from BCD as well as the Boulder community. We have a consistent group of after school faculty members, many of whom have been at the school for several years. BCD does a background check on faculty members and specialty class instructors.
What are the behavior expectations of students who stay After 3 at BCD?
After 3 at BCD is an extension of the regular school day and we ask that students who participate continue to follow behavior guidelines outlined in BCD's school handbook and adhere to our school motto: Respect yourself. Respect others. Take responsibility for your actions.
What if my child is registered for an after school specialty class and attends BCD's regular after school program… Will I be charged for both services?
If a student is registered for an after school specialty class, parents will not be billed regular after school program fees for time in which a child is in a class. However, if your child attends BCD's after school program before or after an after school specialty class, hourly fees will apply and your family will automatically be billed at our hourly rate of $10/hour, per child for time used. Hourly fees do not apply for students who are signed up for BCD's after school program unlimited billing plan.
Can I pick up my child after 5:45 p.m.?
No. Late pick up of students is strongly discouraged. We ask that you pick up your child on time. BCD charges a late fee beginning at 5:45 p.m. of $1.00 per minute/per child for every minute that you are late to pick up. The school pays the late fee directly to our after school faculty as compensation for working beyond their scheduled hours.

National Geographic has just released a new bundle of educational apps for iOS, aimed at young children.
The bundle, Look & Learn: Animals Vol. 1, includes Animal Bounce, Animal Match and Animal Words. Each title encourages children to discover more about the natural world through some great animal sounds and age-appropriate games. Throughout, the kind of photography we've all come to expect from National Geographic continues the beguiling theme.
Animal Bounce is focused on learning animal names and sounds, while Animal Match involves matching the animal to its shape. Animal Words teaches name recognition and basic alphabet skills. Each should be great fun for little ones.
The app is optimized for the new iPad but works just as well for iPhone and iPod Touch. It's all designed to tie in well with the National Geographic learning books series for preschoolers.
Look & Learn: Animals Vol. 1 is out now, priced at $2.99. It's an Universal app.

Tiny Firemen is an adorable game that encourages kids to collaborate with their parents, thus encouraging sociable behavior.
This wouldn't be much fun if it were implemented in an obvious and unexciting way. Fortunately, Tiny Firemen makes teamwork great fun. Players take the role of a fireman team of Cat & Dog with one player controlling the firetruck while the other sprays the water, making for an enjoyable collaborative effort.
12 different animals require saving in Can Town but Tiny Firemen promises to be a frustration-free experience keeping young children happy throughout. As the screenshots show, it's a cute game to look at, reminiscent of kids' picture books, and there's a great classical piano based musical score.
Tiny Firemen is out now priced at $2.99 for an Universal build. There's also a free version for trying the game out with the option to unlock the full game via an in-app purchase.

Some might call it the circle of life, other will call it the food chain, NomNom Combo calls it a game. In this new "king of the jungle" matching game, players match animals together and then match the prey animals with the predators in return for in-game currency. This obviously isn't a typical matching game. Honestly, how many matching games out there have a problem with blocks eating other blocks? In NomNom Combo, players aren't just focused on making matches, they are also concerned with making matches in a way that will keep their predator's bellies full.
Players start each game by placing animals like flies and frogs as tiles on the game board. If a player places a fly next to a frog it will run in the opposite direction until it hits the edge of the board. If the fly is placed in such a way that it can't run, or runs into another frog, then it is eaten by the frog and the player is awarded a certain number of coins. However, placing three flies close together will turn them into a mouse, making it impossible for a frog to eat. To eat the mouse the player must match three frogs and make a snake. Three mice turn into a rabbit, three snakes turn into an eagle continuing through sheep, manatees, wolves, and so on through various predator and prey combos. Though not quite evolutionarily sound, this progression to larger animals is what makes the game more puzzle-like than other matching games.
Players can't just place animals on the board randomly making matches. At the start of each game they are awarded a certain number of random animals to place. They'll need to plan out their placements so they can "evolve" the biggest predators and prey in tandem and in placements where the predator can eventually get at the prey. Coins are awarded for each prey animal that is eaten and these coins are used to buy more animals to place, continuing the game.
NomNom Combo is certainly a unique matching puzzle game. It's both fun to play and challenging to master. The balance between matching and strategy makes the game a great choice for players looking for a challenge.
Note: NomNom Combo is currently only available in the Canadian App Store and will get a wider release later this quarter.

Plenty of people love playing social games and similar numbers enjoy caring for a virtual pet. How about combining the two? That's what LoadComplete decided to do with Bumping Bears and they've even added a real life socializing element.
Bumping Bears gives players the chance to adopt bears to play and raise on their own donut planet located in the wider bear galaxy. Players can care for up to 3 bears at once, encouraging them towards one of over 70 bear professions while dressing them from a choice of over 100,000 unique outfit combinations.
The player can then partake in quests, missions and minigames to help their bear improve in their chosen profession.
For the social gamer, players can find other like minded souls using geolocation, then bump their phones together to make their bears date and mate. It's all very cute and lovable but not essential to progression.
Bumping Bears is out now and it's an Universal app.

Wait for one new Zynga game and two come bouncing along, just like a cuddly animal would. Note the tenuous link? Yup, Zynga's new title is all about taking care of exotic and zany animals in a zoo.
Dream Zoo is another first for Zynga. Their first zoo themed game to be exact, presumably ensuring that casual gamers with all types of interests will be hooked by at least one Zynga game at some time. Interestingly, it's also the first Zynga title to offer bonuses and in-game rewards based upon playing in multiple different locations.
Players are given the opportunity to breed and collect thousands of different animal varieties in a way that's bound to hook 'gotta catch em all' style addicts. A selection of mini-games give the player the chance to pet and tend to their animals with feeding and washing games simple yet fun to play.
All manners of animals are catered for from aardvarks to zebras. Going on safari enables players to discover these different species while also having plenty of fun along the way! Players can even breed different animals together to create all new and unique types of creatures. Along the way, players can also collect up other items on safari, thus boosting their zoo's looks or finances. Once everything is arranged just how the player wants it, they can take photos of their animals to show off to others.
We all know and love what Zynga has to offer the freemium gaming world and it looks like the magic has transferred to the world of zoo keeping in Dream Zoo. Like other Zynga titles, it's a free app with plenty of in-app purchase based options. Fortunately, it's not essential to progression, it just speeds things up a little.
For those looking for a new free to play fix, Dream Zoo is out now.

I never get to visit zoos as often as I like as my nearest zoo is over an hour's drive away. Throw in the expense of visiting and it's just not as frequent as I'd like.
It's a similar problem for the likes of my young cousins who don't get to see animals anywhere often enough other than through the internet or books. Pocket Zoo HD won't whisk anyone physically to a zoo but it does the next best thing by offering over 30+ live animal cams so that users can see creatures from all over the world.
Animals available to view include amongst others the cuddly penguin, the majestic tiger, the quirky meerkat and the fearsome killer whale. Pocket Zoo isn't just about live cameras either with over 200 wildlife videos included as well as a virtual zoo with series of original animal illustrations. A string of facts are also included to educate young animal fans as well as real animal sounds.
Pocket Zoo HD looks like an ideal app to while away some time alongside younger relatives. It's out now for the iPad, priced at $3.99.

Half Way?
The latest recycled press release from the AFGP: "Announcements are planned for every Friday through the end of the year at approximately 6 a.m. There are approximately 5,000 grants worth $485-490 million to be awarded."
By my spreadsheet, there have been 2552 awards (51%) totaling $262 (54%) million awarded in 11 rounds so far. At this rate, there would be approximately 9 more rounds ending Friday March 2nd.
So, my current answer to the "When will we find out about the grant application?" question is "We will most likely know by mid February" ... be it a DJ, 1199, or 10 q's.
Just trying to keep my mind busy. Checking my email and 1199 just isn't working anymore.

We'll have more updates before that point, probably one last big push to handle everyone else that's up for award. A handful on the bubble may go through mid-Feb but I don't see them stringing us along that far. Unless they are going to move the 2007 App Period back. After all, we haven't seen any hint of a workshop schedule and last year those started in November. So either they're going to be really busy with one every night, or we're going to be handling AFG apps in May-June range.

NBA: Clippers suitors reportedly lining up
Published on May 28, 2014 11:52 AM
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - As the NBA awaited Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's response on Tuesday to charges of racist conduct detrimental to the league, Sterling's wife, Shelly, was reportedly moving to sell the club.
Donald Sterling had until midnight Eastern time on Tuesday to respond to the charges levied by the league, which has already banned him for life and fined him US$2.5 million (S$3.1 million) over racially charged remarks that became public in April.
The NBA has already set a June 3 hearing at which owners could strip the team from Sterling, but US media reports on Tuesday seemed to indicate that Shelly Sterling might be trying to negotiate a sale by then.
Gossip website TMZ.com and sports network ESPN were among the media outlets reporting that Shelly Sterling has fielded inquiries from at least six serious bidders for the club that could fetch up to US$1 billion.

PAYDAY: Think the world's biggest retailer would dish out the biggest pay package to its chief executive officer? Think again.
A look at this year's Forbes 400 rankings, posted on forbes.com, revealed H. Lee Scott, ceo of Wal-Mart Stores, was merely the 10th best paid retail ceo. Forbes bases its rankings on the most recently reported annual salaries, bonuses, exercised stock options and other compensations of corporate America's top dogs. Scott was listed with compensation of $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended January 2007.
The number-one spot in the sector is held by Leslie Wexner, whose take of $56.1 million at Limited Brands also placed him 17th on the magazine's overall list, which was topped by Oracle ceo Lawrence Ellison. Ellison's remuneration totaled $192.9 million. Ralph Lauren ranked 45th overall with $34.6 million, the second-biggest take among purveyors of apparel.
The 2008 Forbes appraisal looks at the take of 29 retail ceo's in the most recent fiscal year, including 15 that sell apparel, in department stores, discounters, specialty stores, online or on TV.
Ongoing challenges at various retailers did not necessarily keep their ceo's from earning big bucks. For example, Terry Lundgren's earnings at Macy's, given at $12.2 million, made him retailing's seventh best paid ceo, while Gap's Glenn Murphy was 16th, with $4 million. They listed at 148th and 347th, respectively, among all their fellow titans.
Other notables from the world of stores, e-commerce and TV shopping included Abercrombie & Fitch's Michael Jeffries, whose compensation tallied $8.9 million for the fiscal year ended February 2007, and Nordstrom's Blake Nordstrom, with $8.2 million. And a pair of ceo's from different orbits — Kohl's Larry Montgomery and Amazon's Jeff Bezos — realized virtually the same amount: about $1.3 million each.

SHOOTING STARS: Ads featuring M.I.A. — aka Maya Arulpragasam — shot by Juergen Teller's point-and-shoot for the Marc by Marc Jacobs' spring 2008 campaign, might have been unveiled several months ago, but the experience still feels a little surreal for the petite Sri Lankan rapper. "The whole time I was doing that campaign I was like, 'Does Marc Jacobs know who I am?,'" Arulpragasam told WWD at last weekend's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. "He didn't let me into his parties and stuff six months before." As to whether she had any reservations about being snapped in lensman Teller's typically indiscreet — and uncensored — style, she joked: "When I first found out [about Teller], I was like, 'It's just like my mum taking pictures — they're going to come out really hard, you know?" However, you won't find her sporting Jacobs' duds any time soon. "You can't really be dressed in Marc Jacobs' clothes when you're on tour," she explained. "They're too nice." Her solution? "I have my own label now," Arulpragasam said, "which is the only thing I've been wearing recently." The eponymous collection (M.I.A., that is), which is repped by London-based publicist Mandi Lennard, included tour bus-friendly items such as bomber jackets, leggings and T-shirts, all done up in the bold hues and graphic prints for which the singer is known. And, aside from reflective glory, buying an Arulpragasam-designed piece affords its owner a little extra sartorial security. Explained the fashionista: "With my stuff, because everything's really bright, if you lose it or someone steals it, you can see it from miles away and you can be like, 'Oy! Give me my shirt back!'" Talk about bang for your buck.

Ambushed by the Mailman
I lived in an apartment at the time so it was easy to avoid that area of the building. But then one day I'd gone home during lunch and ran into my mailman in the parking lot. He said he'd thought I'd moved because he could no longer stuff any more mail into my box.
I shamelessly told him that I'd lost my mailbox key. (It's a little known fact that being in debt can turn you into an extraordinary liar.) I even started to embellish my story with how I'd also been out of the country for an extended period of time, but he interrupted me to hand me my mail. Then he suggested I walk with him to the mailbox so he could unlock it for me and give me all the mail currently stuffed in my box. Unable to make myself invisible, I had to take possession of my mail.
[Credit Check Tool: Monitor your credit score and activity for free with Credit.com]
That night, I got a glass of Chardonnay for courage and spread the envelopes out on my dining room table. I paid the utilities and other necessities. When I started looking at the credit card statements, I looked only at the minimum payments and started writing checks for half the amount. Amazingly, I still didn't stop using my credit cards.
Instead, I decided I had to make more money. So I studied for and passed the CPA exam with the plan of getting a higher paying job. Only now do I see the "Becky Bloomwood" irony in all this. I had a head for numbers but was clueless when it came to my own financial affairs. My solution was to make more money to maintain my spending habits instead of focusing on paying off the debt.
The Day I Hit Rock Bottom
I went to work for BellSouth Mobility and got a higher salary. I got this job just in the nick of time because to my horror, I could no longer get approved for a credit card. I could no longer get credit limits raised. The banks no longer loved me.
Then one day I tried to make a purchase and my Rich's Department Store card was declined. Rich's had canceled my credit card account. Refusing to give up my card without a fight, I called the Rich's credit office and asked to have my card reinstated. A service rep was quite rude to me and told me my last check had bounced. And even when I did pay with a check that didn't bounce, it was always late.
Do you know how big a mess your credit life has to be to lose a retail credit card? A really, really big mess. This was the turning point for me. My credit ride had come to a merciful end.
[Article: Jean Chatzky's Debt Diet: A Behind the Scenes Look]
My Wacky Approach to Debt Reduction
I didn't know exactly how much debt I had and I didn't want to know. I wasn't in denial, this was my strategy. And not one I'd recommend. It's like trying to work your way out of the eye of a hurricane when you don't know where the edge of the storm is.
Today, I'd face the total amount head on and make a plan of attack. But back then, I was young and inexperienced, and honestly, I think I was worried I'd pass out from shock if I saw the actual number. So for each card, I looked at the minimum payment due and avoided the rest of the statement. I told myself that in one year, I'd see how much debt was left.

A group of Egyptian American Christians recently marched outside the White House to protest human rights abuses in the Muslim country.
The Thursday rally was part of an effort to prompt President Barack Obama to speak out on behalf of persecuted Christians in Muslim Egypt.
"We ask President Obama, the U.S. Congress and government officials, and all freedom-loving people and organizations in the U.S. and around the world to support the right of the Copts, for protection from aggression and equality under the law," the Christian Copts of California said.
In the most recent attack, six Christians died when Muslim men sprayed a crowd with gunfire as they were leaving church on Christmas Eve.
Egyptian Christians say their own government has turned a blind eye to attacks against their community.
"The climate of hatred is deeply entrenched in Egypt's mosques, the Egyptian media and the Egyptian educational system," the Coptic group said.

A young man, somewhere in a desert, anxiously awaits his first day at the Racing Academy to become a great car racer. He immediately becomes the new guy- he's always picked on, makes only two friends, and arrives with no racing car of his own...then he discovers the remains of the one and only Mach 5 in a near-by junkyard. With his rebuilt Mach 6, unusual racing talent, and mysterious lineage, the man realizes for the first time in his life that he is Speed Racer's second-born long-lost son!Speed Racer: The Next Generation is the third consecutive television adaptation as a Sequel Reset taking place 40 years from the original storyline to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the entire franchise, making it also a Revival. Nicktoons Network aired the entire 26-episode season from 2008 to 2009. If the stiff, Flash-animated characters look familiar, it's because Animation Collective, probably best known for animating the first original Nicktoon Kappa Mikey, produced and premiered this series in conjunction to the wide release of the live-action feature film. It is quite possibly the most successful of the adaptations, considering the first two never even made it past being canceled during their run. 95% of the characters are brand new anyway, which makes for a more original story, yet when it does get nostalgic, the tributes are amazingly accurate. The late Peter Fernandez, the producer of the dub of the original show, as well as the lyricist for the English theme song and the voice of Speed, was brought in to voice an adult Spritle.A second season premiered on March 24th, 2011, with Toonz Entertainment in India taking over the outsourced animation this time, since Animation Collective had financial problems. Speed Sr. reveals more about his motives for going into hiding in this season, and we get more information about the Committee. After his death, the voices of Peter Fernandez's roles were replaced with another voice actor.

Not long ago most companies were laying off people and looking to cut costs, now with the economy slowly picking up steam, we're seeing more job openings in the sports card industry than ever before.
That's good news if you collect cards + need a job!
Like many open jobs across the country today, only a small percentage of people that apply are even qualified for the job. Some of these jobs listed below require you to have an education - but if you have no knowledge of cards, it would be almost impossible to get hired. Therefore, if you have a blog, comment on forums or generally know a lot about cards - you can use that in your resume & it will actually help you get hired.
Just a quick scan around the industry yields these job openings:
|Open Jobs at Panini America
FT - Customer Service Manager
Don't think you get a good response when you ask about your Kobe Bryant redemption? Think Panini could streamline the process so they actually get less call and make customers happier? This is the job for you.
FT - Business Analyst
You're going to need a degree in finance/accounting to land this job ... and it has far less to do with cards as it has to do with numbers. If you're a number cruncher - this is for you.
|Open Jobs at Topps
FT - Logistics Analysis
Similar to the Panini Business Analyst, you're in charge of making sure things stay on budget so everyone can feed their families at night. Die-hard collectors probably wouldn't be great at this job - as you'd be cutting things out to make the numbers look better & the products less collectible to the consumer.
FT - Project Manager
Unlike logistics, this is the perfect job for a die-hard collector. You'd be in charge of an entire product line & making sure it pleases collectors. Extensive knowledge of Topps products would help you land this job.
|Open Jobs at Upper Deck
FT - Collectible/Toys Brand Manager
Pretty interesting job not closely related to cards, but toys might be a far less complex market to break into if you don't have sports card experience.
Designer/Senior Designer
I hear a lot about how people don't like how cards look these days. With a little practice on PhotoShop & and an art design degree ... you'll be well on your way to creating beautiful works of art that collectors will love.
E-Commerce Marketing Specialist
Maybe you started your own online store & things didn't work out too well ... that's okay because your experience might help you in this job. Selling directly to consumers is what the companies should do more of, and you'll have your chance to make that happen in this job.
Redemption Clerk
Think the companies don't do a good job with redemptions? Here is your chance to make a difference and make some money.
Redemptions Supervisor
You know redemption cards are a big deal when the company actually has a title for the supervisor. My guess is you could really make some head-way in this segment of the business, as no company handles redemptions like they could (or should).
UDA Production Clerk
This job puts you on the front lines of making sure the process of getting an item to be signed is handled as smoothly as possible. This would be a pretty fun job.
UDA Distributor Account Manager
Here you're building relationships with other retailers to see how you can sell them more UDA products. If you have some close ties in the retail world, this would be an excellent choice.
|Open Jobs At COMC
Office Assistant
Basically you're filling up coffee and making sure the ink in the printer is filled.
Order Fulfillment Clerk
Ever wonder how the cards get shipped to you when you buy off COMC? This job is the reason why you're cards arrive, and it would probably be an interesting job.
Trading Card Identification Specialist
Sounds like the most interesting job in the house. Identify cards = you must be a collector.

Buyback Signed Cards
|Leaf has been on a buying spree - and inside each Leaf Ink Baseball pack will be 4 autographs of previously signed cards. Presumably these will be cards produced by mainstream manufactures such as Topps, Panini and Upper Deck. All of the cards will be autographed and authenticated by PSA/DNA or JSA (James Spence Authentication). One card per box will be a themed 1/1 cut signature card from one of five subsets. Leaf will probably not release too much product information from this set because of a lawsuit filed by Topps regarding using images of their cards to promote their (Leaf) products.

If the conscious mind—the part you consider to be you—is just the tip of the iceberg, what is the rest doing?
In this sparkling and provocative new book, the renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman navigates the depths of the subconscious brain to illuminate surprising mysteries: Why can your foot move halfway to the brake pedal before you become consciously aware of danger ahead? Why do you hear your name being mentioned in a conversation that you didn't think you were listening to? What do Ulysses and the credit crunch have in common? Why did Thomas Edison electrocute an elephant in 1916? Why are people whose names begin with J more likely to marry other people whose names begin with J? Why is it so difficult to keep a secret? And how is it possible to get angry at yourself—who, exactly, is mad at whom?
Taking in brain damage, plane spotting, dating, drugs, beauty, infidelity, synesthesia, criminal law, artificial intelligence, and visual illusions, Incognito is a thrilling subsurface exploration of the mind and all its contradictions.

Attack on the Power Grid
February 26, 2014 | 8 comment(s)
"Almost everything we do in modern society relies on electricity." So would you be able to survive without it?
Granger Morgan, quoted above, heads the Department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. After a 2013 attack on an electric grid near San Jose, CA nearly knocked out Silicon Valley's power supply, Granger and other lawmakers and analysts were shocked that no one was doing more to prevent a repeat attack.
Many wonder if we'd be prepared to live without power considering how much we rely on power.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the 2013 attack, which Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (the facility's owner) once downplayed as vandalism, is now being treated as a possible act of terrorism.
It would actually be fairly easy for a criminal group to knock out the power grid, according to a report issued in 2007 by the National Research Council committee (which was chaired by Morgan). If the power grid was knocked out, large regions of the U.S. could be denied "access to bulk power systems for weeks or even months," leading to "turmoil, widespread public fear and an image of helplessness that would play directly into the hands of terrorists."
Unfortunately, as the Los Angeles Times reports, not much has been done to protect the nation's power system. Read their full article here.
Considering this vulnerability, it's important to be prepared on an individual level for a power outage. Think about the following:
- What would you do to protect your perishable foods?
- How would you stay warm?
- How will you see in the dark each day?
Addressing these questions will get you off to a good start. To learn more about staying safe and powered up in an outage, check out our Insight Article, "Preparing for and responding to a power outage".
Also take a look at some gear you can add to your emergency supplies. Adding even a few basics will make your time during a power outage or blackout more comfortable, and it will feel a little less like an emergency. These product categories are a great place to get started:
What do you think is the best thing you can do to prepare for a power outage?

It's smart to be prepared
Marion Ekola | March 8, 2014
Just prior to the Christmas Ice Storm in Maine I made sure I had a full tank of propane. I live in a 600 sq. ft. home and heat with oil, but cook with propane. I had filled buckets with water and felt ready. I was without power for three days. I don't condone using the propane oven to heat but I did during waking hours. I had candles and flashlights for light at night. What I learned is even for three days I could use more water for the toilet. Otherwise I missed reading at night but life was fine. Now this year I plan on getting a type of pump to place on my existing pump for water when I need it. I put up food in the summer so I do not entirely rely on electricity to keep my food. The food storage I purchased from you has been a great comfort to me to know in an emergency food is not a problem. I'm an advocate for others to be prepared. Our electricity is a system I do know can and will be interrupted either briefly or for a long time. I try to imagine what living without electricity would be like, then prepare. So far I'm improving on my outlook. Thanks for the great products and the articles to help me think.

We have also been concerned for many years when we heard how a few not so friendly countries have have EMP devises that when they fly over an area they can knock out ALL mechanical circuits which knock out not only the electrical grid but include your cars, cellphones, and etc;. What is the most frightening is that they have protected themselves by installing preventive devices which don't allow us to do it to them, yet our electric companies and our country won't spend the money to protect us. Therefore, my husband and I have our own generator and fuel, radios, flashlights, devices, and etc; which will enable us to survive thanks to Emergency Preparedness and other online sites.
Thank you,
William and April Bladh

I've felt for a long time that I should have been a boy scout since my motto seems to be "always prepared". :) I'm working on getting the knowledge and accumulating what is needed. I try to imagine how the pioneers in the 1800's lived and emulate them as much as possible. It brings it closer to home for me and makes it easier to prepare. My grandkids and I even have "Pioneer Days" every so often...no electricity, running water, etc They love it and it helps them to have a mindset that isn't all about technology.

To the comments from William and April if your concern is a EMP brought on by neighboring country's or solar flare. You should keep all your electronic devices in a faraday cage, something to look into. And thanks for being one of those that prepares.

We started canning all the meats in our freezer after a friend lost hundreds of dollars of frozen food due to localized power outage. Beings we already pressure can on a big camp style propane stove, we could easily can up the stuff in our freezer due to an extended power loss. We've even started washing and storing our clean canning jars to save a step.
Along with our kerosene lamps and various flashlight, we have added some solar light systems that really offer done great light. We are in the process of adding solar panels to charge the ham radio batteries in the near future. Some of our critical electronic items are stored in a Faraday cage.
Stay calm and prep on!

I've heard so many people on blogs, lists & groups talk about prepping then say they have everything on their iPads and the Cloud.
Power outages show just how vulnerable their data is, but they still keep it there. *sigh*

you have a headlamp pictured and if the grid were to go down because of EMP, then unless you put the flash lights in a faraday cage, it would be useless.
