I Really Miss My Motivation
Maybe motivation isn't the right word. Maybe "drive" would be better. I am embarrassed to say this, but I have really gotten lazy in a lot of aspects in my life. I have been a firefighter for 26 years. I remember the feeling of excitement when I first started going to the firehouse. Now I... Read more »
Dear Soda: It's Been A Year Since We Broke Up
I was given the challenge tonight from our ChicagoNow group as part of Blogapalooza to "Write a love letter, but it can't be to a person." This was a no-brainer. Dear Coke and all your soda friends, It's hard to believe that I am celebrating my one-year anniversary since I broke up with you. I... Read more »
Today I Consider Myself The Luckiest Man On The Face Of This earth
Today we were given the challenge to write about a person we never met whose death had an impact on us. I write a lot about God, running, and cancer and how that impacts my life. I could seriously have picked many people who I never met, whose death has impacted me. Some names that... Read more »
My Guilty Pleasures
So for Blogapalooza this month, where we are given a topic to write about and 1 hour to write it, the challenge was to passionately defend our guilty pleasure. It could be a food, movie, hobby, anything that probably only we actually enjoy. It was actually hard for me to come up with something because... Read more »
Do You Believe In Miracles!
When I think about movies that have impacted me, there are so many out there. I could list Rocky, Brian's Song, Rudy, or even Good Will Hunting. The list could go on for hours. What is on my mind right now is the movie "Miracle". This is the Kurt Russell movie based on the 1980... Read more »
Taking On the Ironman To Celebrate Being Cancer Free
In 2006, I was going for my follow up colonoscopy for follow up to my stage 3 colon cancer. While in the waiting room, I was thinking about what I was going to do to celebrate my 5-year cancer free date the following year. That was when I saw a Triathlete magazine sitting on the... Read more »

Bonds' greatness is hard to measure
The NL MVP Award should be named after Barry Bonds and given to Albert Pujols.
Updated: September 10, 2003, 11:54 AM ET
By Jim Baker | MLB Insider
Perhaps it's time we threw in the towel and just
changed the name of the MVP Award to the Barry Bonds
Award. In this way, we would be acknowledging that he
is the best player every year without having to debate
the semantics of what the award actually should
represent. It would also give other players around the
league hope that they can actually bring home some
hardware. As it is, Bonds does so much to produce runs
that there really is no competition as to who the best player in the league might be. Call it the Barry Bonds Award and suddenly, Albert Pujols -- a
player having a season that easily distances himself
from the rest of the league -- is a walk for the
Five Giants managed to homer Tuesday night but,
surprisingly (or perhaps, Ripley's Believe It or
Notingly), none of them was Barry Bonds. Instead,
Bonds was practicing the other part of his game at
which he has no equal: getting on base. He hit two
singles and drew three walks in five trips to the
It's no mean feat to enter a game with an On Base
Percentage of .534 and actually raise it, but Bonds
has been doing that ever since the All-Star Game. At
that time, he had an OBP of "just" .496. While this a
figure that would have landed him in the top 20 best
seasons of all time, it was a decided downturn from
last year's .582 and 2001's .515. Since that time,
however, Bonds has been getting on base over 60
percent of the time. Tuesday night's on base extravaganza
raised his post-All-Star OBP from .615 to .628.

Television: Today's Pick
Tuesday 02 December 1997
The Turner Prize (9pm C4) It has to be said that artists are a more fun lot than writers - and the Turner Prize ceremony has a more colourful history of heckling and controversial speeches than the Booker. Tonight's two angles of contention are the all-woman shortlist and the fact that there are no painters on it - the latter point being addressed by Waldemar Januszczak, Roger Scruton and others on Channel 4 at 11.35pm.
The film
Ten North Frederick (1.35pm C4) An odd film from the end of Gary Cooper's life, when he was already visibly suffering from the cancer that would kill him less than two years later. He seemed to be questioning - and then dismissing - the persona that he had built up in films like High Noon and Mr Deeds Goes to Town, that of the honest if monosyllabic ("yup") American stoic. Here he plays a decent lawyer pushed into political ambition by his wife - his very decentness the agent of his ultimate failure.

Posts from Tofu
On Eating Less Tofu (and Other Soy Products)
We've been talking about soy a lot this week, from tofu to more tofu to edamame and even soy cheese. For many vegetarians and vegans (and people who grew up in Asian households!), these are dietary staples.
So why would I, a lifelong vegetarian who considers tofu one of her favorite foods, decide to stop eating so much of it?
Vegan-ish Dark Chocolate and Agave Cream Pie
Flickr Find
So "vegan-ish" isn't really a thing, but this recipe is so close we can almost taste it! With a few small adjustments this recipe can be entertaining a crowd of all types, no matter what their dietary restrictions. This pie is such a rich and indulgent mixture of tofu, chocolate, and agave that you don't even have to bake it!
Vegan Recipe: A Salty, Savory, Sexy, Scrumptious, Smooth & Spreadable Vegan Dip!
Somehow the words Tofu Dip don't really capture this deeply flavorful and addictive concoction. Consider the following elements: Caramelized onions and garlic, several pinches of savory herbs, smoked paprika, sherry, miso — see what I mean? I have a lot of love and respect for tofu, but sometimes you have to keep it out of the headline.
Read on for the recipe and serving tips.
Terrific Tofu: 5 Tips for Cooking With Tofu
On its own, tofu is fairly bland and unexciting. But, oh, the wonders that quivering block of soy contains! A quick marinade, some time in the oven, or fried until golden, and tofu becomes something delicious and dinner-worthy. Here are some of our favorite ways to cook with it. What are yours?
Recipe: Vegan Tofu and Vegetable Pot Pie
Earlier this week we rounded up some vegetarian and vegan comfort food recipes from the Kitchn archive. Here's a brand new recipe for a warm and savory vegan tofu and vegetable pot pie with a super buttery, flaky crust. Its appeal isn't limited to vegans, either. My partner, a bacon and barbecue loving omnivore, confessed that he liked this pot pie even better than the meat versions he's had!
Tofu Tour: Hodo Soy Beanery in Oakland, California
Many people see tofu as a blank canvas kind of food, something that has no inherent flavor but can act as a vehicle for whatever you introduce it to. So they squeeze it and marinate it and toss it with all manner of spices and aromatics. But people who grew up in Asia may know a secret about tofu that many Bay Area citizens are just beginning to discover: if it's well made, fresh tofu can be a delicious food in its own right. So where can you learn more about this magic stuff and get a taste? The Hodo Soy Beanery!
Recipe: Kimchi Tofu Summer Rolls
Poking around the fridge and pantry the other day, I unearthed several ingredients from my boyfriend's heritage (Korean kimchi) and my own (Vietnamese noodles and rice paper wrappers) and I wondered, why not combine them into one dish? This is a little twist on the traditional Vietnamese gơi cuốn, or summer rolls, filled with fresh vegetables, golden tofu, and the spicy, tangy crunch of pickled cabbage. Plenty of sesame oil and a dipping sauce with chili powder provide a robust Korean kick. The verdict? We wished we had doubled the recipe!
Quick Tip: Crispy Tofu Without the Fat
Battered and fried is one of our favorite ways to eat tofu - like most things! It gets crispy on the outside and custard-like on the inside, and it makes a great companion to chewy rice and crunchy vegetables. But this is a treat we normally save for eating out. When we're cooking a stir-fry at home, we use a slightly different technique.

The hostel is huge and clean but because it is so big, it was hard to meet people in the hostel. Luckily I met people on the walking tour but it I hadn't, I doubt I would have met people. Also, the food and drinks were way too expensive and the breakfast was NOT worth 5 euros (stale bread, two types of cold cuts, and cereal). They also don't lend towels, you have to buy them for 6.50.

European Central Bank
Handelsblatt: "Four German Banks On The Brink"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/17/2014 10:05 -0500Several days ago we were confused why, out of the blue, a €1 billion loan BWIC appeared that was dumping German non-performing loans. After all, the whole point of the European "recovery" fable to date has been to deflect all the attention from the "pristine" German banks, up to an including world-record derivatives juggernaut Deutsche Bank, and to focus on Greece and other insolvent peripheral European nation. Earlier today, German Handelsblatt provided an answer, when it reported that "four German banks are on the brink", i.e., four banks of which three are known, HSH Nordbank, IKB and MunchenerHyp, will likely fail the ECB's stress test whose results are due to be announced next Friday.

The Collapse Of "Well-Established" Stock Market Conventions
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/14/2014 13:11 -0500Equity markets live and die on several well-established conventions, according to ConvergEx's Nick Colas, noting that these are the rules that investors use as the bedrock of their fundamental analysis. The volatility of the last few weeks shows that some of these paradigms are now under attack. Chief among the question marks: "Do central banks always have the power to tip the balance between growth and recession?" Another rising concern: "Can stocks constantly shrug off recessionary signals from commodity and fixed income markets?" Lastly, "How many exogenous, if largely unpredictable, global events can equities ignore before their collective weight halts a bull market?" Bottom line: the debate on these topics isn't over for October or the balance of the year.

Greek Bond & Stock Prices Plunge On Bailout-Exit & OMT Fears
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/14/2014 10:16 -0500While Greek leaders are proclaiming victory, intending to exit the bailout plan early and fund themselves in the public marketplace - just as they did in April (despite record poverty, unemployment, and suicides); it appears investors are a little less sanguine about the prospect. Greek bond yields have topped 7% for the first time since March and any gains from the 5Y bonds sold to hedge funds in April have now gone (and Greek stocks are at 13-month lows). The driver of recent weakness appears to be fears over whether Draghi's OMT will ever be real enough to monetize Greek debt and a re-rating based on more standalone risk if Greece were to exit the bailout program early.

5 Reasons Oil Prices Are Dropping

Even though crude benchmarks like Brent and WTI keep dropping, the cost of finding oil continues to rise. What are some of the key drivers that have created this paradox?

Will The Fed Let The Stock Market Crash Before An Election?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/13/2014 08:18 -0500If central banks have learned anything since 2008, it's that waiting around for the panic to deepen is not a winning strategy. Put yourself in their shoes. Isn't this what you would do, given the dearth of alternatives and the very real risks of implosion? Anyone in their position with the tools at hand would not have any other real option other than to buy stocks in whatever quantity is needed to reverse the selling and blow the shorts out of the water. If $1 trillion doesn't do the job, make it $3 trillion, or $5 trillion. At this point, it doesn't really matter, does it?

Draghi The Dictator: "Working With The Germans Is Impossible"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/12/2014 11:44 -0500The war of words between Europe's unelected monetary-policy dictator Mario Draghi and Germany's "but it's us that pays for all this" Bundesbank has been gaining momentum since Jens Weidmann penned his Op-Ed slamming Draghi's OMT 'whatever it takes' as "too close to state financing" in 2012. A week ago, Weidmann stepped up the rhetoric by claiming ECB policy is "hostage to politics" and has lost its indepdendence - warning Draghi's dictatorial policies were leading Europe down a "dangerous path." But now, as pressure grows from the Spanish (record unemployment, record bad debt, record low yields), Italian (record unemployment, record debt-to-GDP, record low yields) and French (record unemployment, treaty-busting-deficits, record low yields) for Draghi to monetize more assets, he has struck back in Focus magazine, blasting Weidmann is "impossible" to work with because the Germans "say no to everything."

Saxobank CIO Warns "The Narrative Of Central Bank Omnipotence Is Failing"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/11/2014 18:32 -0500We have been discussing the widespread belief in "the narrative of central bank omnipotence" for a number of months (here and here most recently) as we noted "there are no more skeptics. To update Milton Friedman's famous quote, we are all Bernankians now." So when Saxobank's CIO and Chief Economist Steen Jakobsen warns that "the mood has changed," and feedback from conference calls and speaking engagements tells him, there is a growing belief that the 'narrative of the central banks' is failing, we sit up and listen.

The Calm Before The Storm In The Gold Market
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/10/2014 18:43 -0500Physical gold is being accumulated and used in exchanges but very discretely as of now. The geopolitical and economic environment in the last few months was in my view the calm before the storm. Both the economic and political environments are uncertain and will surprise the complacent markets.

Europe's Losing Battle For Recovery
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/02/2014 20:59 -0500The wobble in world markets continues, with stock indices across all time zones down steeply in recent sessions. Investors are not only realigning their exposure in anticipation of tighter liquidity conditions as the US Federal Reserve finally brings its asset purchases to a close later this month (see More Fools Than Money?). After today's European Central Bank (ECB) meeting they are also looking nervously at the magnitude of the task facing eurozone policymakers. And they appear to be coming to the conclusion that generating a rebound in growth may be too tough a job for Europe's leaders to accomplish in the near term.

ECB's Asset Monetization Advisor Says There Will Be No Full-Blown QE
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/02/2014 10:45 -0500What one can not exclude is that Blackrock, having worked with the ECB for an indefinite period of time, is intimately familiar with the long-term strategy of the biggest jawboning back in the world: Mario Draghi's ECB. Because while Draghi will say anything, as he started two years ago with his infamous "Whatever it takes" speech, his actual policy options are painfully limited. It is in this context that all those betting that public, US-style, QE will inevitably follow the private QE which is set to last at least two years, may want to sit down and read the following note from Reuters, which warns "investors loading up on some of the euro zone's riskiest government bonds on expectations that the European Central Bank will buy them are making a mistake" according to none other than BlackRock's head of European and global bonds said on Wednesday.

The wife and daughter of a prominent Blanding doctor, who took his life last month amid federal charges of illegally dealing in American Indian artifacts, pleaded guilty Monday to similar charges filed against them.
Jeanne Redd, 59, was scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court to strike a plea deal with federal prosecutors. But in a surprise development, Redd's daughter, Jerrica Redd, who had not been previously indicted, appeared in court to plead guilty after being charged by prosecutors last week. Jerrica Redd's case was unsealed Monday morning.
Jerrica Redd, 37, entered guilty pleas to one count each of theft of property from tribal lands, excavation of archeological artifacts and transportation of archeological artifacts. According to a plea statement, Redd admitted to traveling to the Hoskinnini area of the Navajo Indian Reservation in April 2008 and taking a "black on red" vessel, seed jar and vase. Two of the items were "substantially buried" and had to be excavated. She then admitted to taking the items to her home in Blanding, where she cleaned and repaired the items, and displayed them in her home. The items, according to court documents were each valued at over $1,000.
Soon after the daughter's plea, Jeanne Redd pleaded guilty to two counts of theft of government property, two counts of theft of tribal property and three counts of trafficking in stolen artifacts.
According to the mother's plea statement, Redd admitted to taking several items from locations on federal and tribal lands. Among the prehistoric relics were a ceramic mug, a hafted ax, an effigy bird pendant and gourd with necklace. She also admitted to selling four prehistoric sandals to a confidential informant, as well as trading a stone and a pottery pendant for a turquoise pendant with the informant.
Both mother and daughter are scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 16.
Outside of court, assistant U.S. attorney Carlie Christensen said she hoped the guilty pleas would send a message that there is a need to protect sacred artifacts on tribal lands. She also said the pleas should send a message to the other 21 remaining defendants that federal prosecutors are serious about the evidence in the case. "We feel that this is an important milestone in the case," Christensen said.
In exchange for their guilty pleas, federal prosecutors have agreed to recommend punishments at the lower end of the sentencing guidelines. Federal prosecutors refused to estimate on Monday just how much prison time, if any, the Redds face.
The cases are related to a massive federal sting operation in which 24 people were arrested in Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. The Redd family suffered a sudden loss when Dr. James Redd committed suicide after being indicted on charges of dealing in Indian artifacts. A second defendant from New Mexico, Steven L. Shrader, also committed suicide last month.
Court documents show federal agents seized several computers and journals from Jeanne Redd's home. Christensen said Jericca Redd was not considered a suspect until their investigation uncovered evidence last week. Jeanne Redd is also being investigated by federal agents for an apparent fraud scheme mentioned in journals hand-written by her and her husband. No charges have been filed in that investigation.
After the hearings, the Redds quickly ducked into a car without comment. Their attorneys also made no comment about the plea agreement.

Driven by Fears: How to Get Consumer-Driven Health Plans in Gear
January 22, 2015
Although they are legally separate organizations with different governing boards, SHRM and the HR Certification Institute have been closely intertwined since the 1970s.
The Society for Human Resource Management roared headlong into the certification competition late this spring, leaving the distinct impression that the organization intends to spin HRCI and its cadre of certification letters into irrelevance.
Questions emerge regarding what SHRM's move means to those with PHR, SPHR and GPHR credentials, as well as the relationship between the organizations. Updated with comments from SHRM's Hank Jackson and HRCI's Amy Dufrane.

"This was exactly what we needed for a memorable Aggie graduation weekend. Everything was clean and ready for us, both owner & manager a delight to work with. Because it is a little bit out of town it's very quiet, but still only a few minutes to campus. Kudos from all of our out of town guests. Hope to be able to stay again!!"
"We were visiting Dallas for week to visit family and we wanted to stay somewhere different instead of the normal hotel room. We were overwhelmed by the excellent accommodations. Everyone was very friendly and we loved the layout of the condo. Great location in Central Dallas, you have access to everything and located behind Central Market which is so convenient because the store is wonderful. It was very relaxing for us at the end of the day and could not asked for a better place. We just wish the weather was bit warmer during our stay to enjoy the pool and hot tub but we will next time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Next time we visit Dallas this is the place for us."
"We had a group of 12 women and this house was perfect for a little getaway. The kitchen and extra refrigerators were great for the food and drinks we brought in. We had plenty of room to spread out. Everyone slept comfortably. The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The only drawback was that we didn't realize the other living area upstairs only had access from the outside. This was tricky for our group since the 2 nights we were staying it was stormy and raining. No one wanted to drag their bags up the narrow stairs in the rain and lightning. I don't remember the description mentioning this. But, that was the only negative and would be fine in nice weather. We really, really enjoyed staying here!"

Key departure prompts leadership shake-up at Spark
20-year Telecom New Zealand and Spark veteran Chris Quin has seen just about everything the business could offer, but has never held the chief executive's title, apart from acting in the role.
Among other highlights, Quin assumed leadership of Telecom New Zealand's XT network crisis, fronting the media and guiding efforts to recover after the shiny new 3G mobile network proved to be far too brittle.
Quin was an unsuccessful candidate for the chief executive's job when current CEO Simon Moutter was appointed in 2012. He then slotted back into the company as chief executive of the home, mobile, and business division.
But now, he is leaving the company, prompting a shake-up at the top.
"Chris has been with the company for over 20 years, and has achieved all I could have asked of him over the last two years," Moutter said. "By any measure, Chris has done a consistently terrific job in a range of executive roles at Spark New Zealand and Telecom/Gen-i before that."
Quin will clear out his desk at the end of June.
Moutter said it is also time to move to a new phase in Spark's transformation strategy, from stabilisation to pursuing revenue and margin growth.
One important element of that will be integrating Spark's Turnaround Program into the businesses.
"With the Turnaround Program coming to its end, a new Strategic Program — 'Digital First' — will be set up over the next few months to centrally architect and steer the ongoing delivery of the digital transformation of our business," Moutter said.
"Our aim will be to create New Zealand's leading digital services platform and suite of digital applications intended to fuel market growth."
In support of that, Jason Paris, general manager of Spark home, mobile, and business, will take over from Quin on July 1.
Rod Snodgrass, CEO of Spark Ventures, will lead the new Digital First program in addition to his existing responsibilities.
Chief financial officer Jolie Hodson will also take on some operational business activities on top of her existing CFO duties. Spark's low-cost Skinny mobile business and its Big Pipe broadband business will move outside of Spark Ventures and report to her from February 1.

Here's why SA really needs better broadband for business to thrive
If South Africa is to boost economic growth it must bring fast internet to more entrepreneurs. Doing so will help power thousands of small businesses.
For too long the country has been slow in improving access to fast, affordable always-on internet. A recently launched government broadband policy aims to fix this, but some remain sceptical.
Access to the internet today is not only vital, but big money. A 2012 report by the Boston Consulting Group predicts that by next year the internet economy in G20 members will be worth US$4.2-trillion (at present it contributes about 2% each to South Africa and Brazil's economies and 8% in Japan and the UK).
In the same report a survey of 15,000 small firms revealed that those with high internet usage record sales growth of up to 22% more than those firms with little or no use of the internet.
Adoption poor
But internet penetration in South Africa remains low compared to other emerging economies (see table, left). Much of this is down to the government's poor internet policies, as well as costly access to the web (it's expensive in Malaysia and Brazil too).
Despite this South Africa last year gained a few levels in the UN's global broadband rankings for internet penetration, climbing to 80th out of 190 countries, up from 92nd (41%) in 2013.
Too slow and expensive
The country's main internet challenges are download speeds and high usage costs, which remain out if synch with many other emerging economies.
For example Ookla's Net Index, which compares and ranks consumer download speeds, reveals that speeds in Brazil and Chile are double those in South Africa (see table, right).
There is some light at the end of the tunnel though. MyBroadband, a South African website, reported recently that Telkom (which has a near monopoly in the fixed broadband market) plans to double speeds for its entry-level broadband packages to 4Mps. This is encouraging.
Costs however remain a grave concern. They may have come down since landing of additional undersea cables since 2009, but a lack of investment of networks on land persists, while a demand on radio spectrum builds with mobile broadband and wireless having taken off. This keeps subscription and usage costs high.
Despite this, broadband researchers Point Topic's broadband tariff country scorecard for 2014 shows that South Africa performs well when it comes to entry-level broadband pricing. However, it does not rank well on average broadband tariffs (see table, left).
South Africa comes 18th out of 82 countries for entry-level broadband pricing, but on average pricing South Africa ranks back in 64th.
The good news however is that over the past five years, fixed broadband prices as a share of gross national income (GNI) per capita have dropped by 65%. So things are set to get better, sometime soon.
Cellular muddle
With smartphones set to account for four out of five connections worldwide by 2016, according to the Boston Consulting Group, it's vital that South Africa provides more spectrum to mobile broadband.
But the government's delay in getting digital television migration under way (the ITU's deadline is June 17 to switch to a digital broadcasting signal), is holding things back.
A lack of competition in the local cellphone market is also keeping mobile broadband prices high, says South Africa's Internet Services Providers' Association. It's hoped that the publication by the communications regulator Icasa in November last year of a final International Mobile Telephony (IMT) roadmap towards a competitive telecommunications industry will bring prices down.
Government plan
Meanwhile the South African government, like a number of emerging economies has a plan to address its internet challenges.
Dubbed South Africa Connect, the policy targets an average download speed of 100Mbps by 2030, with an average user experience speed of 5Mbps by next year, available to 50% of the population.
The plan says delays in rolling out more broadband fibre can be addressed by getting the communications department and Icasa to co-ordinate the building of civil works and help streamline the process of wayleaves.
Co-building of networks will be used to bring down costs and reduce duplication to under-serviced areas, while incentive programmes will help stimulate demand and will include a dedicated ICT entrepreneurship fund among others.
The UN has commended the plan calling it an "excellent example" of a policy which focuses on both supply-side (such as investments in broadband networks) and demand-side (through expanding ICT education) considerations.
But Ayesha Dawood, a digital media and technology lawyer, says the policy fails to explain how the country will achieve an average user experience of 5Mbps by next year or detail what the cost of this access will be for the average person.
Brazilian lesson
Brazil's broadband challenges shows that no plan is without problems. It's National Broadband Plan (Plano Nacional de Banda Larga) reveals the challenges that face governments in getting private-sector players to offer more affordable internet.
Of recent critics have bashed the plan, launched in 2006 and set to run until the end of last year, saying the private sector hasn't done more to punt cheaper packages inscribed in the plan. Until September last year just cheaper packages made up just 8% of fixed broadband and 0.6% of mobile broadband connections.
Consumer groups have also been critical of the cheaper packages, saying operators hide them on their websites and that as many come with bandwidth caps that slows the download speed in no time.
Internet access is improving in South Africa, as it is in many other emerging economies. It's vital that the South African government take internet access as seriously as any other basic service, like water, electricity and waste collection. Or be left behind.

T-Mobile Will Ignore Bad Credit If Bills Are Paid On Time For A Year
The United States ranks 13th in the world for smartphone penetration because there are over 100 million American adults that do not have one, according to Pew Research. Countries like Australia, Ireland, Israel and Saudi Arabia are ranked higher. Many Americans avoid buying smartphones because they do not get favorable plans due to bad credit. In fact, 63% of Americans have less than a perfect credit score so they cannot get the deals that wireless companies spend billions of dollars promoting. T-Mobile CEO and President John Legere wants to fix this problem by offering a new service called Smartphone Equality.
Smartphone Equality will offer the same financing options to all customers, including the ones with bad credit scores. This will become an option only if those customers have paid their T-Mobile bill on time for 12 months. Smartphone Equality went into effect as of yesterday.
"Last year, the carriers spent billions advertising deals and plans that half of Americans can't get when signing up for wireless service. That's complete BS," said Legere. "We've created a better way with Smartphone Equality. Beginning now, your relationship with us counts more than your credit score − which means absolutely everyone can get the hottest smartphones at the best prices."
Legere said that Smartphone Equality puts the relationships they have with loyal customers above their credit scores. And he believes that T-Mobile's relationship with those customers are a better predictor of future behavior than their credit history. Here is Legere's first vlog post where he discusses Smartphone Equality:
Every T-Mobile customer with a monthly voice plan can qualify to get the best device pricing and financing, including $0 down on smartphones without interest or a credit check. Prepaid customers can get the same deals through T-Mobile's Simple Choice postpaid plans.
Last month, T-Mobile also announced a service called "Data Stash," which allows customers to carry over unused data for up to a year. This service is available for customers with eligible postpaid data plans. ATT ATT countered T-Mobile's "Data Stash" with a service called Mobile Share Value, allowing customers to carry over unused data to the next month. Verizon CFO Fran Shammo said that they refuse to match T-Mobile's "Data Stash" program because it does not make financial sense as the leading wireless company to follow.
Has bad credit affected your ability to buy a smartphone? Will the T-Mobile Smartphone Equality program benefit yourself or someone you know? Let us know in the comments section below!

TV white spaces project launched in Ghana
TV white spaces project launched in Ghana
Africa's first commercial service network utilising TV white spaces was launched in Ghana, a statement reveals.
The commercial service, a partnership between Spectra Wireless and the Microsoft 4Afrika initiative, allows students in Ghana to buy affordable, high speed internet bundles and devices.
Spectra Wireless is the first company in Africa to offer a consumer broadband internet access service leveraging TV white space technology, the statement notes.
"Research by the Wi-Fi Alliance in the United States has revealed that 90% of students view access to Wi-Fi as critical to their success," said Fernando de Sousa, general manager of Africa Initiatives at Microsoft.
De Sousa added, "…While the initial pilot project in Ghana offered wireless broadband to universities, this new commercial service allows students to have their own internet bundles, determine their own usage and purchase an internet-enabled device for anytime, anywhere access and enhanced productivity."
According to the statement the cheapest data package starts at two Ghana cedi per day and provides 24 hours of access.
"We are breaking away from the standard way of selling Internet services in Africa," Sam Darko, country leader of Spectra Wireless noted.
Darko said, "Everyone wants and needs access to the internet, but there are very few, if any, reliable, unlimited and affordable solutions for the masses. Our complete service for the tertiary education sector provides just that, and together with the application bundles and affordable devices we offer a complete technology upgrade to participating institutions. This service will transform education in Africa."
The ITU's ICT Facts revealed that Africa led in mobile-broadband growth with penetration in the continent reaching close to 20% in 2014, up from 2% in 2010.

Ronn Torossian: Celebrate Heroic Sheldon Adelson & Miriam Adelson
Sheldon Adelson: is a great entrepreneur, philanthropist and patriot.
- What does President Obama say about a man who grew up dirt poor, slept in the same room as his parents and whole family and has by his own hard, honest work taking risks and making many sacrifices today become one of the wealthiest men in the world?
- What does the American President say about a man who not only embraces equality— but his wife owns 26.9% of his company? (He owns 26.3% and his wife is involved with all aspects of his business. One wonders how many of Obama's liberal donors embrace these values — surely not uber-Obama donor, 82 year old George Soros who recently married a 40 year old.)
- What does Obama say of a man whose medical foundation donates hundreds of millions of dollars annually to: a model of open: and highly integrated collaboration research projects dedicated to healing cancer research, immunological diseases, neural repair and rehabilitation?
- What does the American President say of a man who says as his country is threatened: "I really don't care about Iran — I care about the future of my country"? (Contrast that with Obama's billionaire Soros who said recently:: "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States."
- What does Obama say of a man who is the largest private donor to the Holocaust Museum in the world?
This week in a disgusting, unfair and inappropriate gesture the Obama campaign issued a statement against Sheldon Adelson. Adelson is a patriotic hero who should be celebrated for all he has done for this great nation. Adelson is also a private citizen — should private citizens expect to be attacked by Obama if they "dare" to oppose him? Will he next sentence people to Guantanamo Bay if they oppose him?
Adelson once asked as his wealth increased,: "Why is it fair that I should be paying a higher percentage of taxes than anyone else?" Is there something wrong with a hard-working man wanting to pay less taxes? Adelson donates hundreds of millions — shouldn't he be allowed to pick his charities in a world of free enterprise?
In their fundraising material,: the Obama campaign said: "We don't have Sheldon Adelson, and with all due respect, we don't want him." Can anyone believe they don't want his money?
Sheldon Adelson is a hero who should be thanked by all Americans for everything he does and has done for our great country.

This arrangement of Mussorgsky's most famous work, Pictures at an Exhibition is by William Lovelock, the founding director of the QLD Conservatorium. The players present 7 of the familiar ten movements.
Following a period of composing very little, the Estonian composer Arvo Part returned to composition in the late 70s with this new style known as Tintinnabuli (from the Latin for 'bell ringing'). This work for string quartet calls for the bottom strings of both the violin 1 and viola to be tuned down, to make it possible for the instruments to reach the low harmonics required for the chordal passages. For the entire piece, the 2nd violin plays constant fifth drone on the open G and D strings, embellished only by dynamics. Deceptively-simple, this is the work of a composer who has discovered the gift for simplicity.
Had Shostakovich followed the pattern of keys in the first 6 string quartets, this seventh ought to have been set in E flat. Dedicated to the memory of his wife, Shostakovich considered E flat major to be too heroic a key (consider the Beethoven Eroica Symphony and Mozart Horn Concertos), opting instead for the more lamenting F sharp minor. Though perhaps in a nod to his planned key structure, the first movement rocks between F sharp minor and E flat. Shostakovich's Elegy from Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District is also in F sharp minor. Tellingly, this opera was dedicated to his wife.
Composed during 1922-23, the Octet for Winds is the first work in which Stravinsky's neo-classical style asserts itself. The work's Inspiration came to him in a dream in which he imagined pairs of instruments. Stravinsky woke from his dream and immediately jotted down the ideas.

Grouse Mountain - Reaching a towering 4,000-ft, Grouse Mountain is a vast mountainous playground that offers birds of prey demonstrations, lumberjack shows, scenic views and overlooks, and a wildlife refuge. It's first lodge was constructed by Scandinavians in the 1920's who hauled wooden planks up the trail now known as Grouse Grind to build the lodge.
Refuge for Endangered Wildlife - This grizzly habitat rests comfortable atop Grouse Mountain and features numerous grizzly bears as well as a timber wolf named Alpha, owls and other birds of prey, and hummingbirds during the spring and summer months. While exploring this fantastic refuge, you will be able to learn about the ongoing research, conservation, and educational programs available to help you understand endangerment and the animal species that are considered endangered.
Stanley Park - This massive urban park stretches over 1,000-acres and is almost entirely surrounded by the waters of English Bay and Vancouver Harbor. Instead of being designed and landscaped, Stanley Park is the product of evolution between forest and urban space throughout the years. Most of the man-made buildings you will see on the island were built between 1911-37.
Capilano Suspension Bridge - This simple suspension bridge over the Capilano River hangs over 400-ft above the river, and is 230-ft long. Originally built with hemp ropes and cedar planks in 1889, the bridge was completely rebuilt in 1956 after being sold to new owners.
Cliffwalk - This adventure experience provides access to some of the previously unexplored reaches of the park, reaching heights of 300 feet over the Capilano River and even higher over the Capilano Suspension Bridge! This adventure combines the thrill of a soaring, thick glass bridge with educational signage that give you insight on some of the geological relationships of the area, including interactions between water, granite, wildlife, and so on.
Tour Highlights:
- Stops at Grouse Mountain, Refuge for Endangered Wildlife, Cliffwalk, Stanley Park, and Capilano Suspension Bridge.
- Views of Downtown Vancouver, Sports Stadiums, Chinatown, Lions Gate Bridge, Canada Place, and Gastown.
