Mauricio Pochettino is in all likelihood set to face a hostile atmosphere at St Marys' as he takes charge of his first match in charge of Southampton after controversially replacing Nigel Adkins as manager last Friday. Adkins, who was popular with both players and fans, had led his side on an impressive run of only two defeats from their last 12 games to currently leave them in 15th place, three points above the drop zone with a superior goal difference to the sides around them.
Pochettino could give a debut to Norwegian defender Vegard Forren, whose transfer from Norwegian club Molde was confirmed on the same day as the new boss' arrival. Elsewhere, top scorer Rickie Lambert, the highest English goalscorer in the Premier League could be handed a start after coming off the bench to equalise in the draw at Chelsea in midweek. Captain Adam Lallana faces a fitness test but Jose Fonte is ruled out until February.
Everton remain in pursuit of the fourth Champions League place and David Moyes will know that victory on the South Coast would not only bring the Toffees to within one point of Tottenham in fourth place, but extend their lead over fifth-placed and sixth-placed Arsenal and Liverpool to six points.
Moyes is not expected to risk striker Kevin Mirallas, despite the Belgian's recovery from a hamstring injury that has kept him out for two months. Elsewhere, Jonny Heitinga faces a fitness test on a muscle injury but is hopeful of featuring while Darron Gibson and Tony Hibbert remain absent with thigh and calf injuries respectively. Victor Anichebe is challenging Nikica Jelavic for a start up front.

Leadership Development Process
The CIMBA Leadership Development Process begins with LIFE, Leadership Initiative for Excellence, an intensive, highly interactive, experiential workshop that assists you in identifying your leadership key capability strengths and weaknesses.
After LIFE, you set out your basic beliefs and develop a personal career strategy to identify key capability career needs. A personal development plan for the year is then developed that will include periodic assessments to measure and benchmark key capabilities to assist you in systematically addressing shortcomings and promoting strengths.
A series of leadership assessments (including both Self and 360° assessments) are undertaken to identify the depth and breadth of your current leadership key capabilities initially, and to then to assist in monitoring your development progress thereafter.
In addition to your one-on-one coaching sessions (both planned and spontaneous) throughout the year, group work sessions increase your managerial effectiveness by providing skill-building opportunities on the functional aspects of peer, team and executive coaching.
The MBA Consulting and Six Sigma projects provide a real-world forum in which to explore your leadership skills with continuous feedback from coaches, professors, and your fellow students.

Question: I have trouble accepting the traditional interpretation of hell. Would a loving God really condemn His children to eternal suffering, or do we always have a chance for redemption?
Answer: Try to realize, to begin with, that the fear of going to hell is a form of hell itself. Anyone that puts this kind of fear in another human being is a devil. God never turns His back on anyone who is willing to be corrected in their conscience.

It's about time someone stood up for the poor insurance companies! The New York Times today delves into what it's like to be "Dealing With Being the Healthcare 'Villains,'" eliciting sad stories from nice people who work for big insurance companies and feel they're under attack.
Times reporter Kevin Sack tells us, "Some workers said that unlike other contributors to the country's healthcare problems–the doctors who overprescribe, the hospitals that fail to control infection, the consumers who do not take care of themselves–insurance companies are faceless, impersonal and distant." Sack and the NYT to the rescue! Let's put a face on these victims.
Humana's employees want the politicians to know that, in the words of Aerion V. Miles, a customer service team leader, "We are human beings, too."
This is seriously absurd. Health insurance company employees are clearly not the villains; it's the private insurance system (and if you had to put a human face on it, the CEOs). What is happening is their jobs are being threatened by the possibility of lower insurance company profits, which the Times has managed to turn into a piece on how these employees do things like volunteer at a local hospice, so jeez, why are they under such heavy assault? The New York Times is not that stupid–but it apparently does think its readers are stupid enough to fall for pure insurance industry PR.

Great music and the great outdoors aren't hard to come by in Minnesota, and attending a summer music festival means getting a big dose of both at once. Jazz, bluegrass, classic rock and country are just some of the genres you'll find, with national and local acts attracting loyal and new fans alike.
"Artists want to play at these festivals because of the great crowds and support there is for music in Minnesota," says Ellen Stanley, executive director of the Minnesota Music Coalition. See your favorite artists while soaking up the sunshine at any of this season's fests.
New Tunes
This year, a couple longstanding festivals that have been on hiatus are coming back to life. A 30-year staple, the Taste of Minnesota will take place at the Carver County Fairgrounds in Waconia on July 3-6, with free admission during the day, live music and nightly fireworks. This year's eclectic lineup features Soul Asylum, Starship, Halestorm and Joe Nichols.
Formerly known as Lumberjack Days, Stillwater Log Jam has a renewed focus on local music and history. The 80th anniversary celebration, slated for July 18-20, will combine activities like a soap box derby and lumberjack demonstrations with four stages of music, including a kids stage in Teddy Bear Park.
City Sounds
Urban settings provide the backdrop for several music festivals this summer. Rock the Garden, held outside the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, is expanding to two days this year, June 21-22. The concert has sold out quickly in the past thanks to popular indie artists like The Hold Steady and Neko Case; striking views of the downtown skyline add to the appeal.
Also in Minneapolis, the Skyline Music Festival at Target Field features Melissa Etheridge, O.A.R., The Rembrandts, Gear Daddies and The Honeydogs on Aug. 9.
In St. Paul, the Twin Cities Jazz Festival features three days of concerts, June 26-28, in and around Mears Park. This downtown park will also host the second annual Lowertown Guitar Festival on Aug. 9. Both events are free.
The 27th annual Winona Dixieland Jazz Festival is held on the grounds of Winona State University on June 28. Elsewhere in southern Minnesota, the Solstice Outdoor Music Festival in Mankato's Riverfront Park features local and regional acts June 14-15, and more than a dozen roots and blues bands play at the Hambone Music Festival in Rochester on July 11-12.
As many as 20,000 blues fans will head to Duluth Aug. 8-10 for the Bayfront Blues Festival; Robert Randolph & The Family Band and Los Lonely Boys anchor the lineup. Making travel plans well in advance is encouraged for this popular event.
Campin' Country
Numerous Minnesota festivals combine live music and camping into fun-filled weekends. On June 20-21 in Walker, Moondance Jammin Country Fest brings Hunter Hayes, Justin Moore and The Shuggah Pies to the main stage, and smaller stages feature country acts from around the Midwest.
The same site plays host to Moondance Jam on July 17-19, headlined by classic rockers REO Speedwagon, Styx and Foreigner. The party continues on the surrounding campgrounds, where the most creative campsites vie to win tickets to next year's shows.
On Aug. 7-9, some of the biggest names in country music – and tens of thousands of their fans – descend upon Soo Pass Ranch in Detroit Lakes for WE Fest. Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley and the Zac Brown Band join The Band Perry, Travis Tritt and more for this annual bash.
For a family-friendly camping and concert experience, check out the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Festival in Richmond near St. Cloud, Aug. 7-10. Many attendees are musicians themselves, so listen for impromptu jam sessions happening on the campgrounds.
Other good options for families include the RiverSong Music Festival in Hutchinson (July 18-19) and Storyhill Fest in Deerwood near Brainerd (Aug. 29-Sept. 1).

Sorry you have been ill :( The heat that we are having at the moment can't help either! It's way too hot! I have never liked Uggs either, I actually don't own a pair but that's really cool to know it just means sheepskin! I never knew that! The reason I don't like them is I take a size UK 7 and my legs are quite small so I actually look ridiculous wearing giant boots like that, it's really quite funny lol!

Czech driver Jan Charouz will be in action for HRT this weekend in Brazil. Charouz, who drove for the Spanish team and Renault at last weeks young-driver test in Abu Dhabi, will take to the track in Vitantonio Liuzzis F111 for Fridays opening practice session.
Its a great feeling to be taking part in a Formula One free practice session, he said. I will be driving for HRT F1 Team once again after testing with them last Wednesday in Abu Dhabi and obtaining my superlicence which allows me to take part in the first practice session at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
"I am really happy to have this opportunity and would like to thank my father for his great support. I cant forget to also thank my sponsors who make this possible. I hope to do well in Brazil although I am aware that it will not be easy. Interlagos is a circuit I have never raced at but one that I have tried out on the simulator and really liked it there. Hopefully the difference in experience with my team mate isnt too telling but, regardless, I will give it my best shot.
Colin Kolles, HRT team principal, added: Jan is an exciting up-and-coming driver as he proved when he drove for us at the young driver test last week in Abu Dhabi. He did a good job and completed more than enough kilometres in an F1 to be granted the superlicence. He will step in for Tonio in FP1 as he looks to continue learning and Im sure that he will be up to speed in no time. We are glad to give him the opportunity to make his Formula One debut and Im sure that it will be a positive experience.
Charouz was born in Prague and came through the ranks of the Czech karting scene before moving onto the Czech Touring Car Championships in 2002. In 2004 he switched to German Formula BMW, where he spent a year before making a move to Italian F3000. In 2006 the Czech driver won the F3000 International Masters Championship whilst also competing in A1GP for the Czech Republic.
Over the following three years, Charouz competed in the Le Mans Series and 24H Le Mans race, achieving the 2009 Le Mans Series title. In 2010 he decided to gain experience in single-seater racing and joined the Formula Renault 3.5 World Series. He has been one of Renaults F1 third drivers since 2010.

According to some studies, as much as 25 percent of the American population now has metabolic syndrome, a complex of symptoms that place a person at much higher risk for heart disease and diabetes.I'm Dr. Caroline Cederquist, giving you the Skinny on Your Health.Most people who have metabolic syndrome are overweight, but new research shows that losing weight isn't the only way to alleviate it. A long-term study of more than 7,000 women classified them not by weight but by levels of cardiovascular fitness.The group with the lowest cardiovascular fitness had more than three times the metabolic syndrome of even the next group up! This showed that even minor improvements in cardiovascular fitness could dramatically reduce the dangers of metabolic syndrome, whether or not actual weight loss was ever pursued or achieved.And the best part? The researchers said that fitness improvement could be achieved by just increasing daily lifestyle activity-using stairs instead of elevators, running the vacuum daily or regularly walking the dog-even without a formal exercise program.Given the dangers of the metabolic syndrome, such a minor effort clearly offers a big payoff.

Promised Investors Good Returns with Some Profits Going to Charity
JOHN MIN, 36, of Tacoma, Washington, was arrested last night following a grand jury indictment for ten counts of Wire Fraud in connection with a fraudulent investment scheme. In March 2005, MIN opened DIME Capital LLC and DIME Financial Group LLC, which operated under the business name DIME FX. MIN used fraudulent materials to pitch investments to churches, charitable givers and senior citizens. Between 2005 and 2008, MIN collected more than $6 million from investors or charitable givers. Investors were told the money would be used to invest in currency trading. MIN touted good rates of return and claimed a history of successful currency trading. In fact, MIN had only lost money on currency trading.
MIN will make his initial appearance on the indictment at 2:30 this afternoon before Magistrate Judge Brian Tsuchida on the 12th floor of the federal courthouse at 700 Stewart Street in Seattle.
According to the indictment, MIN made numerous false representations to investors, including that he had a special license for futures and commodities trading, that his funds had been established since 2000 and that he had made strong returns on investments. None of these things were true. MIN provided quarterly statements to investors with falsified information on returns.
In 2007, according to the indictment, MIN established Dime Foundation and made various representations to charitable givers, including that all the funds raised would to "to microloans for the poor." MIN promised donors that "100 percent of your funds will go directly to people in need." In fact the funds were used for his foreign currency trading and to pay foundation expenses.
In all MIN raised approximately $6.4 million from more than 60 investors and charitable contributors. MIN lost approximately $5.7 million in the currency trading, and spent the rest to pay off early investors, and for his personal benefit. MIN used the money to make a documentary movie, for buying a new Mercedes and providing private schooling for his children.
Wire fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed charges against MIN today. Additional information on the SEC charges will be available on their web site at http://www.sec.gov/news/press.shtml.

Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G coming to Rogers
Yesterday, Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G smartphone and we're excited to tell you that it will be available exclusively from Rogers this summer.
The Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G runs on Android OS 2.3 and will be Rogers first smartphone reaching theoretical speeds of up to 21Mbps. The device reaches just 8.99 mm at its thinnest point so it's easy to slip into a purse or pocket. On top of that, it also has a 4.5" Super AMOLED Plus screen, the largest touchscreen on any Samsung phone. The screen is amazingly crisp and clear, perfect for watching video, even in daylight. The device also comes with an 8MP camera with HD video capture.
Rogers was the first carrier to bring Android-powered devices to Canada in 2009 and we're excited to bring another innovative device to our lineup of Android smartphones.
Details on pricing and exact availability aren't available just yet but we'll be sure to update you here on RedBoard with more details as soon as we can.
What do you think of the new Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G?
UPDATE (August 2, 6:11 pm): The Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G is now available exclusively with Rogers nation-wide for $149.99 on select three-year terms or $549.99 no term.

We want the Samsung Galaxy S2 please.
Agree. The UK had it last month…
I endorse this comment. We would rather have the S2.
Is this the same as the Samsung Galaxy S2 available elsewhere?
This is another phone from samsung. A Single-Core Android phone with 4.5 inch S-AMOLED screen…
So is this just a re-named Samsung Galaxy S II? Or is this a completely different model?
Hi Paul, Nizi,
The Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G is a different device, exclusive to Rogers. Some of the differentiators include its large, high resolution screen, camera and internal storage. If you're interested, you can review and compare the different Samsung devices on their site here: http://bit.ly/kntqZf
4.5″ screen? Really?
Why not wait for the Galaxy II?
Interesting question David.
If you look at most of the comments on the Redboard articles pertaining to Android, everyone is complaining that Rogers is not picking up enough Android devices.
Now they pick up a device that's available right away, that compares in every way to a phone that will come out eventually (with the exception of internal storage and dual-core as opposed to single-core proc), and the response is "Why not just wait for …"
This comes down to what every business must realize eventually: You cannot please everyone.
Your right Branden except that the Infuse isn't available right away, I don't really see the point to buying the Infuse unless it's substantially cheaper. Or you really want the extra 0.2 inches of screen. The Samsung Galaxy S2 is better in every way. The Galaxy S2 should be here the end of July according to a few websites. Also posted on the Samsung.ca as coming soon.
True, 'right away' is a bit off as they reference "summer" which puts it around the North American launch of the SGS2.
I was not aware the SGS2 was launching that soon though(July?), so I have to agree with most opinions here, that we need something equal or better than the SGS2 to follow, preferably by the back-to-school/holiday season.
All things considered, we could see some devices set to go toe-to-toe with the iPhone 5 releasing for that season, so maybe if we all cross our fingers and toes…*struggles* I've got 6 crosses total…not very flexible. :(
One June 29, other Canadian carriers announced they were getting the S II. Rogers for the first Captivate S, so not it is someone else's turn. Don't hold your breath for a Rogers S II, as it will cannibalize their sales of the Infuse. If you don't want the Infuse, the Sony Ericsson Arc might be your next best bet before Christmas.
Oh this looks neat! Can't wait to hear more!
When will we get the Galaxy S2. Samsung announced today that it's coming soon in Canada. No news from Rogers, does that means you will not carry it ? The infuse is not a bad phone, it's just too big and only single core.
Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we can't comment on possible future device launches so you'll just have to stay tuned to RedBoard (or our Twitter account @RogersBuzz) for more info on new devices.
Katie -
Just wondering where you saw this announcement from Samsung? Link?
« Samsung Canada puts Galaxy S II as "coming soon" » : http://goo.gl/p57eY
Thank you Sir!
This phone is soooo sexy! I wish I could trade my Samsung Captivate for this phone :(
That looks like a nice phone. A bit off-topic but I am wondering if Rogers will be getting the Galaxy S II also?
Hi Jeh,
We can't comment on possible future device launches so you'll just have to stay tuned to RedBoard (or our Twitter account @RogersBuzz) for more info on new devices.
Sounds good, I would get it, but only if it comes out sooner than later. You guy's (Rogers) seem to announce on this blog then don't release for months. Take a cue from Bell and Telus and announce then release the device. I have been with Rogers for Business for 10 years and hate it when Bell or Telus anounce a new Android device then sells it within a couple weeks. Why doesn't Rogers do this?
Hi Sean,
Our customers have told us they would like to know if a device is coming to our line up as soon as possible. We just wanted to confirm that we would be carrying this new device.
So with the other carriers announcing that they will be releasing the SGS2 with in the coming weeks and your comment Katie, it seems to me that Rogers is not getting this phone. LAME!
I was waiting for the Galaxy S II how does the Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G compare?
The Infuse lacks the internal storage, only has a single-core proc, and I have yet to find mention of GorillaGlass being used for the screen.
The Infuse also sports .2″ larger screen (4.5″ compared to SGSII's 4.3″)There may also being a difference in NFC support, but again, I have yet to verify this 100%.
Other than these things, every other feature I have compared is par for par.
This IS the Galaxy S2, or at least one of the variants of it. If you remember the original Galaxy S came in at least 4 configurations that went by different names. Captivate, Infuse, Vibrant, Fascinate, Epic 4G. They were all slightly different versions of the Galaxy S2, some had a flash, some had a front camera and some didn't, some had a slightly different row of buttons on the bottom and one even has a sliding keyboard. They are all based on the same processor and internal architecture as the Galaxy S.
Think of it like certain models of cars, the new Civic has 5 different models but they are all the new civic.
Samsung does this so they can offer every different carrier an "exclusive" model for their market, at least in North America anyway and the SGS II is no different, expect to see slightly different one for Rogers, Bell and Telus sometime this year.
you are totally wrong. The Iinfuse sports a last generation cortex A8 single core processor while the GS2 has a dual core A9 Exymos.
I'm not saying it's a bad processor, but it's far less powerful than the GS2 A9.
please look at the specs : http://goo.gl/E8wTm-
hmmm, I thought I read somewhere that the Infuse was going to have the dual core… too many stats and specs floating around in my head.
If that indeed is the case then I don't want one anymore.
I thought when Rogers referred to 4G it was LTE? Is this lte?
It's not LTE, the entire industry now seems to be calling 3.5G devices 4G and even the ITU-R are starting to say that maybe they should call these things 4G as well.
The LTE networks currently in place don't actually qualify as the original "4G" definition of over anyway, they don't achieve the required peak speeds of 100 Mbps, not even close.
I am very curious to see the real life speeds that can be achieved though. I was recently in Denver and used an LTE myfi device there and the best speed I could get was a disappointing 2.2 Mbps down and up by placing it in the window sill of my hotel room and doing the test at 2 AM.
forgot to say that I am sure the Rogers LTE network will be a lot faster, the big issue in the US is that their backbone network is not sufficient to handle all the traffic and I get speeds of maximum 3.5 Mbps on my Desire HD there but using it here on Rogers I have seen as high as 8.2 Mbps down.
Nope, Rogers reneged on their promise to call LTE "4G", and are now calling HSPA "4G", just like Bell and Telus. :( So much for "truth in advertising".
Hi Freddie, Claudio and Josh,
We actually published a post in April explaining our rationale behind 4G and LTE. Take a look: http://redboard.rogers.com/2011/our-take-on-4g-and-lte/
that's what I was trying to say above, the ITU-R now has decided to call HSPA+ devices 4G and the industry hold outs (like Rogers) have accepted that and are now calling it 4G as well. I can deal with that as it is significantly faster but this is an example of how the large US carriers basically changed the minds of the ITU-R by advertising their stuff at 4G.
Sorry there is no sarcasm button
Nvm I don't want this phone anymore. The SG2 is sooo much better. Why didn't Rogers pick up the SG2? The infuse is like a Captivate with bigger stuff :(
This phone seems cool, but I was really hoping for the Galaxy S 2! Many of my friends and family are upset that Rogers won't be getting the GS2. Very, very sad day
as Bell has SGS I9000, i wont be surprised that they will get the SGS2. but i997 also catches my attention. being a Cappy owner, this will be a good upgrade…..if SGS2 comes to Rogers, then everything might change :D
I sure hope this doesn't mean they will delay the GS2 to try and maximize sales of the Infuse which as some are showing confusion about here ISN't the same at all !!! The biggest difference being the trade off of a less powerful processor for 0.2in screen increase and 4G/LTE. They are two great phones but I'll be waiting for the GS2.
It's not LTE it's HSPA+
There is still speculation on whether or not the SGS II will have LTE or not though, should find out soon if they are making one for Verizon though.
You're a smart guy, Mat. You know that is EXACTLY what it means, if they get it at all.
To clarify, this is not the Samsung Galaxy S2. Why the S2 is not being announced instead of the infuse is confusing. The Infuse was designed to be a hold you over until the S2 was released however the S2 has been released in other countries for some time. Both Bell and Telus already carry a dual core phone and if the infuse is their answer to the Atrix i sincerely hope it is not their final answer.
P.S. Announcing the phones as soon as you can is a good idea. Please announce the S2 soon as this thing is not a next gen phone.
Touchwizz 2.0 or 3.0?
Hi Nole,
The Samsung Galaxy S Infuse 4G comes with TouchWiz 3.0 built-in.
When do we get 2.3 for our older Galaxy S ?
Hi Serge,
We have no details to share about that right now. Please stay tuned to our social media channels and as soon as we know more we'll let customers know.

Drought accelerates use of drugs to beef up cattle
Published on -5/20/2013, 3:12 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Cattle feeders in the U.S. are coping with smaller herds and high corn costs in part by using more growth-inducing drugs designed to bulk up animals and get more beef from each carcass.
Accelerated use of the drugs, known as "beta-agonists," is defended by producers who say they are essential to withstanding the drought. Their pharmaceutical creators insist the additives are safe.
Their use is drawing new scrutiny both at home and abroad. Russia and other key markets have banned them. Some domestic producers worry about the potential effects on tenderness and flavor.
In February, Russia joined the European Union and China in banning beef raised on the additives.
The United States blames politics for the export bans. But some U.S. consumer groups are taking notice.

Muffins are one of my favourite grab and go breakfasts. I love having them stashed away in the freezer for last-minute breakfasts and snacks, and I feel much better about grabbing them often when they're packed with nothing but goodness. I've been working on a 100% whole wheat muffin recipe that is also processed sugar free for some time now, and I'm happy to say that it's finally ready for sharing! These are our new go-to muffins. Not only because they're healthy but also because they're delicious.
In my mind, these are everything a muffin should be. Lightly sweet with a tender yet hearty crumb. Full of flavour, with a mouthful of fruit in every bite. Wholesome, while still crave-worthy. They are the perfect accompaniment to a mug of hot coffee or tea.
You can use a mixture of berries, or just feature one as the star. I don't recommend strawberries as they take a little more care to work with and may make the end results a bit soggy. So, if you can, stick with whole berries for this recipe.
What is your favourite, healthy, grab and go breakfast?
- 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 banana, peeled and mashed
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup honey (melted if using creamed)
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
- In a large bowl stir together flour, oats, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl whisk together mashed bananas, olive oil, honey, egg, milk and vanilla. Pour over flour mixture and stir just until combined. Stir in yogurt or sour cream. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the whole wheat flour to soak up the liquids.
- Gently stir in the berries. Spoon evenly into 12 paper-lined muffins cups. Top with additional berries or oats, if desired.
- Bake at 400ºF for 20-25 minutes if using fresh berries, 25-30 minutes if using frozen berries (or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean). Allow to cool for several minutes before removing to cooling racks to cool completely.

Today I learned: a hedgehog's yawn reaches the very tips of its spikes.
*Yawns in sympathy*
Now I need a nap. That is quite an effective lullaby-vid.
13 seconds? More like endless loop.
Just like a kitteh's yawn makes its ears point backwards. Animals yawn with their whole head.
Looks like three hedgies. And the one on top is a baby.
Correction… FOUR hedgies.
the hedgies are tietie on Planet Prickly
*collapses into a messy puddle*
perfect for a friday!
I am hitting replay again and again to watch the unbelievable movement of the spikes. Awesome!
Peenk tongue straaaych!
I will concede that yawning hedgies are pretty cute, but THIS is the best 13 seconds you will spend all day. :-)
did not realize that our hedge-lurking friends were part of the shark family…
oh that's brill
Wait….. did I just see China down there ?
This is nice, but the best 13 seconds of my day were the last ones cuddling Chloe before I had to get up.
Holy frack, I *need* that ringtone. But usually the relaxing I need is *after* I've talked to her, not before. :-D
LOL! Same here…
I listened to that ring tone at least 10 times after getting off the phone with my mother this morning — and it absolutely helped!
I need to hear this before I have to listen to a message my mom leaves on the answering machine!!
Me too!
could be four. yawnie, baby, baby's ottoman, and the silent bump to the right.
I LOVE the Kitteh Ear Flip. :D
OMG the teeth. THE TEETH!
OMG the teeth. THE TEETH!
Jeebus. That's terrifying.

Are you ready for fun in the sun? Whether you're lounging on the beach on vacation or building that new patio, extended exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can be harmful.
"Excessive sun exposure can be uncomfortable and can result in damage to skin and skin cancer," says Roxana Chapman, D.O., section head, Dermatology, Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak.
UV rays are an invisible form of radiation that can penetrate the skin and damage cells. A glowing summer tan may look great short-term, but over time UV radiation damages fibers in the skin, causing it to sag, stretch, bruise, tear and wrinkle. While not apparent right away, constant, unprotected exposure to the sun will make skin age much faster and increase chances of developing skin cancer.
"Prevention is the key," says Dr. Chapman.
If you enjoy spending time outdoors in the sunshine, follow these nine simple steps to protect your skin:

Occlusal Splint Therapy |
Frequently, headaches, facial or neck pain can be traced to what is called Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction or "TMJD". Actually, this condition should be thought of as a problem within the entire chewing system, not just the jaw joint. TMJ dysfunction may be caused by misalignment of the jaws where they hinge, or by disharmony between teeth and jaws. If the joint is painful, or tends to click or catch, this could be an early warning sign. Other symptoms may be muscle pain, or limitation of jaw movements. There are often other symptoms that the patient does not detect. These could include any or all of the following: tooth wear, receding gums, notching of the teeth at the gum line, and adverse bony changes within the joint. Treatment can reduce or eliminate the possibility of further damage. When a patient exhibits the signs and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction we first do an evaluation, including a history and clinical examination. If Dr. Ma determines that we can help, she may order a set of diagnostic records, such as dental molds mounted on an articulator and x-ray images of the head, face and the jaw joints. Note we said "images". We are excited to tell you about the newest technology in dental-facial imaging It is called I-CAT, of cone beam CT. This high tech imaging process is like a cat scan with a fraction of the cost and radiation exposure. With this process Dr. Ma can obtain multiple, high quality views of the jaw joints in all three planes of space at a very reasonable cost. Of course, this equipment is extremely expensive and requires professionally trained personnel to use it. We send our patient to a nearby laboratory to obtain these images. |

Drake and Jay Z Trade Bars Over Epic-Length 'Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2'
Also, Wu-Tang Clan plan to remix Drake song sampling Wu-Tang Clan
Drake's Nothing Was the Same has sprung a leak more than a week before its September 24 release date, and that includes the Toronto rapper-singer's collaboration with Jay Z. Album closer "Pound Cake/Paris Morton Music 2" stretches for more than seven minutes, and as usual with Drizzy's recent material it's likely to please his current and new fans while raising eyebrows from rap traditionalists. See also preorder freebie "Wu-Tang Forever," on which we'll have more to say a in moment.
After a gruff spoken-word introduction about recording in the old days, the first part of the song sets verses from Drake and Jay over moody post-dubstep, here centered around what sounds like a sampled vocal loop from Ellie Goulding. Jay's voice has more of a grainy distance on it than in his own recordings, but a certain opulence comes through as he juggles pop-culture references and foreign languages. The moment is framed as something of a symbolic passing of the torch, as the "Paris Morton Music 2" section sees the former child actor proclaiming his once-in-a-generation greatness amid upscale-retail piano tinkling. The closing line is also the album's title; the tone is neither rueful nor celebratory as much as simply matter-of-fact.
As for fellow Nothing Was the Same track "Wu-Tang Forever," the Wu-Tang Clan themselves are planning to release a remix of the song. Founding Wu member U-God told Vibe the group has already recovered verses over Noah "40" Shebib's mellow instrumental, which samples "It's Yourz," from the Staten Island rap crew's 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever. The Wu-Tang Clan's official Twitter account has been supportive of Drake's track, though Inspectah Deck tweeted some criticism.
Despite the leak, Drake has been in commanding form recently. On September 13, he and SBTRKT vocalist Sampha debuted Nothing Was the Same song "Too Much" on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Other tracks already streaming from the album include "Started From the Bottom" and "Hold On, We're Going Home," the latter of which has been covered by everyone from Blood Orange to Arctic Monkeys.
In other Wu news, Arizona-based State Bicycle is selling a $599 Wu-Tang Clan bicycle. Drake might not be the person to blame for any besmirching of legacies here.

lf you have any questions about water shortages coming to a region near you, it's time to take another look. Predictions based on global climate change have authorities warning that as many as 36 states will face significant water shortages in the decades ahead. The problem is especially acute in the West, where many communities depend precariously on winter snow packs for summer water supplies. But it also exists in the Southeast and other regions where infrastructure investment has lagged behind population growth. Even traditionally water-rich regions like Portland, Ore., and Atlanta have experienced drought emergencies during the past 20 years. A statewide drought in 2009 affected all of California, leading to water restrictions in every major city there.
Credit: CHRIS RANK
The good news? We're still so water wasteful, there's plenty of room for conservation to stretch supplies, and we're technologically advanced enough to find ways to get a second and third use out of each drop, through on-site and off-site water treatment and reuse systems.
For example, average water use in the U.S. is about 150 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), ranging from 100 gpcd in the thrifty and water-rich Northeast to 300 gpcd in the arid (and not so thrifty) reaches of Las Vegas. By contrast, an even drier country, Australia, has been able to reduce per capita consumption to 155 liters (41 gallons) per day, 70% less, without sacrificing amenities that we consider valuable for our contemporary lifestyles.
We tend of think of everything in nature as available for human use; however, nature has a lot of other uses for water, and we ignore them at our peril. Without changes in our usage patterns, agriculture, industry, and cities will within a decade or two be using almost all of the freshwater nature supplies. In my home state of Arizona, predictions are that freshwater withdrawals could tap as much as 85% of all annual stream flows by 2030.
When I was a kid, if you took too much water from the drinking fountain, the other kids would say, "Leave some for the fishes!" That was fanciful, but metaphorically accurate. We do need to leave some for the fish. As it is, almost all of the water in two major river basins, the Colorado and the Rio Grande, is gone long before the river reaches the ocean because of upstream withdrawals for humans. In California, much of the water supply from federal dams originally destined to go from the wet northern part of the state to the dry southern part is constrained by federal judges to remain in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta for fish habitat. So even where there is water, it's not all available to us. Nature wants her share and, as the saying goes, "Nature bats last!"

MEADVILLE – Crawford County is receiving a federal disaster grant of over 200-thousand dollars to help with areas damaged by flooding and storms from June 26th to July 11th.
Emergency Management Director Allen Clark says the federal money will pay for about 75% of the costs associated with this summer's flooding.
"It's not only damage, but it's also emergency response to those floods. Volunteer fire departments, or even paid departments and agencies, anyone that was out pumping basements and directing traffic could be eligible for this type of funding."
The federal funding is available to the state and eligible local governments, as well as certain nonprofit organizations. The federal government has contributed 18-million dollars in disaster relief funds to Pennsylvania in general, and more than 200-thousand to Crawford County.

NBA: Blake Griffin is out with an injury and it appears that not only are the LAC playing MUCH better, DeAndre Jordan is just going...Read More
Hello and welcome to another Wednesday of deep thoughts. I am very transparent in my love for baseball. I am not sure exactly when the game became my favorite, but suddenly it is not even close. With the start of the MLB season on Monday, we embark of my favorite time of year. I enjoy high school and college baseball, but there is nothing like the major league game for me. I know many of you are still trying to shake this stubbornly cold winter. So you probably dont want to hear about the 85 degree weather in Austin this week. It is great to be able to walk out in shorts and a tee shirt in the evening without freezing. April is a great time to be in Austin. We do have an occasional late cold front and of course those tornadoes can be a bit troubling but I am ready for warm weather. In fact, I am even ready for hot, this year. For those still battling the cold, the warm up is on the way hang in there.
The first couple of days of the MLB season have been interesting. Last year, I had a hunch that the Mariners might surprise some folks. It did not turn out that way, but it looks like that young talent is beginning to flourish. With the teams in their division, it will be a long hard road but they really have played well through two games. It did not hurt my feelings to see my Astros hand the Yankees their first loss. I am not kidding myself, the Stros are a few years away from making noise, but they wont suck as bad as they have of late. I must remind myself that it is April and that the cream will rise to the top over the course of the season. Hopefully, my fantasy teams will as well, the first few days of the season have not been so kind.
I saw this video and had to share it. I am often not crazy about radio guys but I have to agree with his assessment with this caller. Really dude?
Abbott and Costello would be proud of this day. Finally, there is a Hu on first!
The UTPA Broncs had a week long road trip to visit TCU, then a three game series in Seattle. Without going into too much detail, I will say that the road trip did not go well. Despite rallying to take the lead in the top of the Friday night game against Seattle, the Broncs could not hold the lead. The second game ended the same way, with Seattle walking off in the 9th inning. It is tough to have two victories yanked away and it showed in game three. The team looked flat and lost in a game that was never close. My son told us he now understands what a red eye flight is they got into Dallas about 3 am and their flight did not head south until 8 or so. A few hours sleeping in the airport are definitely for the young. They finally got home, just in time to go to class. Watching these kids grind through a season is impressive. Next on tap for the Broncs is a home series against Grand Canyon.
Do yourself a favor and check out this video...even if you don't like the cello, you will dig this video.

Apparently, Tuesday was Johnny Monkeys birthday. Wherever he is, I hope he had a great birthday. I would bet that he was eating veggies with pretty people. What a bad ass monkey
Thats all I have today, but I will leave you with a bit of Jack Handey
If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a few deep thoughts of your own
Howdy to all in You Gab land. Johnny Monkey here to offer a security tip to all of my friends. Rather than try to explain, Johnny Monkey thinks a video is much easier:
Don't forget to eat your vegetables! Johnny Monkey must go now. Johnny Monkey has a job to do in England; something to do with a group of badminton players.
Hello Gabbers, Johnny Monkey here to wish you a Merry Christmas. Johnny Monkey has taken the rest of the year off to celebrate Christmas with his friends, but after reading an article about the passing of Kim Jong II, Johnny Monkey felt compelled to write something. You have probably heard about Kim Jong II, right? Jong was the leader of North Korea and was constantly being heard threatening to drop a bomb on one country or another. Johnny Monkey did not realize what an exquisite athlete that Kim Jong was and wondered if perhaps is there was some Johnny Monkey blood in Kim Jong. Of course you know that Johnny Monkey is well known as Johnny Monkey the Bad Ass Monkey, but when Johnny Monkey reads that Kim Jong II was known as:Glorious General Who Descended From Heaven and the Ever-Victorious Iron-Willed Commander, Johnny Monkey must acknowledge that Jong had a bad ass name. Johnny Monkey has always picked up things very easily...like playing Beethoven and Mozart flawlessly after listening to a tape about playing piano. But, Johnny Monkey has nothing on Kim Jong. Did you realize that Jong pieced together an exquisite round of 38 for 18 holes at Pyongyangs 7,700-yard championship course. In the reading about Jong, Johnny Monkey discovered this:
The feat included five magnificent holes-in-one and it appears that Kim subsequently decided his 31-under-par achievement was enough to solidify his legacy and rarely played afterwards. Perhaps for the sake of our perception of golfs legend, it is just as well. Jack Nicklaus career hole-in-one tally of 20 seems humble by comparison, and had Kim continued at his early pace, he would have surpassed the Golden Bear within a week.
Johnny Monkey bowled one time and rolled a very fair 278...Jong outdid Johnny Monkey:
Ten-pin bowling was another pursuit that Kim, believed to stand just over five feet but clearly a physical specimen of unmatched grace, turned to with equal aplomb. Again, it took just one attempt to solidify his reputation as a world class performer, with a perfect 300 game in the mid-1990s. Johnny Monkey is impressed! Jong bowled a perfect game in one try? That is truly an inspiration.
Jong's health began to suffer, so he turned to coaching his supreme athletes. Here are examples of Jong's excellent coaching:
By then his appetite for sports was largely restricted to coaching and his ailing physical condition could not prevent that razor-sharp mind from being put to good use in the service of his nation. During the soccer World Cup in 2010, Kim, by then so rarely seen in public that false reports of his death -- presumably leaked by those rascals in the West -- combined technology with tactical savvy to deliver messages to North Korea head coach Kim Jong-Hun. The advice was sent via invisible telephone, which the Highest Incarnation of the Revolutionary Comradely Love (another delightful official moniker) had himself had invented, with the coach telling ESPN: "I get regular information ... using mobile phones not visible to the naked eye." Notice that they used the word moniker? Johnny Monkey likes the word moniker...a true hint of Jong's monkey thinking! But Johnny Monkey digresses...
North Koreas misfortune (or a dastardly Western plot) at being placed in the infamous Group of Death alongside Brazil, Portugal and the Ivory Coast meant there was little that could be done to prevent them from conceding 12 lucky goals and losing all three games, much to the disappointment of the thousand-plus Chinese fans who were rented to cheer them on in South Africa.
Undeterred, Kim again used his soccer knowledge to the benefit of North Korea during the Womens World Cup earlier this year. More sound hints were sent to the coaching staff, only for the side to be eliminated from group play after struggling to recover from being struck by lightning, which may have also resulted in five players testing positive for steroids.
Even in the months before his death, Kim was said to have retained a keen interest in watching sports. A huge basketball fan -- he was presented with a signed Michael Jordan ball by then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright more than a decade ago -- he must have been disappointed by the recent NBA lockout.
The Jordan memento was said to occupy pride of place in one of Kims 17 luxurious palaces and was a fitting tribute from one sports legend to another.
Johnny Monkey wishes that he could have spent time with this great sportsman. But, then again...Jong's eagerness to prove to be the best might have brought out the bad ass in Johnny Monkey.
Johnny Monkey things that if Kim Jong had eaten his vegetables that he might have lived a more robust life. Don't be like Kim Jong eat your vegetables!
Before Johnny Monkey goes, there was recently a thought that Johnny Monkey was riding around on a dog during a football game. This was Johnny Monkey's cousin Billy Monkey. The youngster can ride anything, but of course this should not surprise you, right? Johnny Monkey is too big to ride a dog, but has ridden other things:
Johnny Monkey wishes all of his Gab friends a very Merry Christmas and to please travel safely during the holidays.
Hello Gabbers. Johnny Monkey here to say a quick hello. I hope everyone is eating their vegetables and kicking life's ass. Johnny Monkey heard a cute story today and wanted to pass it along:
A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Cubs fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they were Cubs fans too. Not really knowing what a Cubs fan was but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, however, one exception. One girl has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. Because Im not a Cubs fan. Then, asks the teacher, what are you? Why Im proud to be a St. Louis Cardinals fan, boasts the little girl. The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks the girl why she is a Cardinals fan. Well, My Dad and Mom are Cardinals fans, and Im a Cardinals fan too. The teacher is now angry. Thats no reason, she says loudly. What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then? A pause, and a smile. Then, says the girl, Id be a Cubs fan......
Johnny Monkey likes the Cubs just fine, but thought this too funny not to pass along.
Johnny Monkey has been working on a magazine, hopefully some of you find this interesting.
Johnny Monkey is not sure what a School For Scondrels is all about.
Johnny Monkey here again to catch up with my Gab friends. It has been a busy week for Johnny Monkey. I had to fly to Arlington to hang with Nolan Ryan and the boys, then make a quick trip to Mexico to discuss security with a few friends. Johnny Monkey is always on the go, but that is the life of a bad ass monkey. Johnny Monkey wishes to remind everyone to eat vegetables. This helps keep the mind and body sharp. Johnny Monkey is 49, and all of you know what good shape Johnny Monkey is in. Now, don't ask who took this picture.
Here are a few specific vegetables that you should focus on:
Red Potatoes
Carbs have gotten a bad name, but Johnny Monkey loves red potatoes. Johnny Monkey also knows that a recent study found that eating red potatoes helped lower the diastolic blood pressure 4.3% and the systolic pressure fell 3.5%.
This sweet white fruit is popular in Asia, but with its big health benefits, it should make its way into your cart, too! Johnny Monkey loves this cool fruit. You should not use your fingers to truly enjoy lychee. You don't have to take Johnny Monkey's word for the benefits of lychee, listen to this: According to a 2006 study in the Journal of Nutrition, lychee has the second-highest level of heart-healthy polyphenols of 24 fruits tested. They were beat only by strawberries, and the study found they had nearly 15% more disease-preventing polyphenols than grapes. Lychee's powerful antioxidants may also help to prevent the formation of breast cancer cells, according to a recent test-tube and animal study from Sichuan University in China. Johnny Monkey thinks that Beezer will like this fruit.
Johnny Monkey has learned to look back to learn. The Chinese have found that this cabbage has 10 times the recommended daily amount of Vitamin A. Bokchoy is packed with antioxidants and Johnny Monkey likes that it helps to prevent prostrate cancer. Johnny Monkey likes his prostrate very much and does not want to ever lose his prostrate.
Don't go through life mad. Eat your vegetables and be happy. Johnny Monkey can tell you that there are many advantages to being healthy. You can be a bad ass monkey and love to live large.
When you are a bad ass monkey, folks dress like you for Halloween. Johnny Monkey loves Halloween. Remember to be generous to the kids.
When you are Johnny Monkey, you only need one testicle...

Common Loan Terms
Here we explain a few loan concepts that you should understand. Many of these terms may be familiar to you, and if so, you may move ahead quickly. But please make sure you understand them thoroughly before continuing.
And yes, there will be a quiz!
Subsidized vs. Unsubsidized Loans
You have probably heard of subsidized loans and unsubsidized loans, but do you know what a subsidy is? A subsidy is financial assistance that covers accruing interest.
When a subsidy exists on a loan, no interest accumulates during specific times: while in-school, during grace period, or in a qualifying deferment. Subsidized loans are very beneficial to you because they can save you money.
Subsidized loans include Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Primary Care Loans, Loans for Disadvantaged Students (LDS), some Institutional Loans, and possibly a portion of a Direct Consolidation Loan (depending on the underlying loan type).
Alternatively, unsubsidized loans accrue interest from the date of disbursement. You may not actually be paying the interest while you are in school, but it is accruing and you will be responsible for it when repayment begins. Unsubsidized loans include Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, private loans, some Institutional Loans, and possibly a portion of a Direct Consolidation Loan (depending on the underlying loan type).
Interest Rates
The interest rate is what the lender charges you to use their money - the price tag for the loan. Review the chart below, and notice that interest rates for Direct Stafford Loans for graduate students are fixed at 6.8% and Direct PLUS Loans are fixed at 7.9%. Perkins, PCL, and LDS Loans have a low fixed interest rate of 5%. Private loan rates are set by the lender and can be fixed or variable. Institutional loan rates depend on the institution, so check with your financial aid office for the interest rate on those loans.
Finally, if there is a Direct Consolidation Loan in your student loan portfolio, the rate will be dependent on when you received the loan and what loans you included in the consolidation.
The interest rate of these assorted loans can be different, so be aware when borrowing. For example, it would not make sense to take out a Direct PLUS Loan at 7.9% if you are able to borrow a Direct Stafford Loan at 6.8%. Borrowing wisely is important so we will cover this topic in the next section.
How Interest Accrues
For loans that are subsidized, accrued interest will be your responsibility if the subsidy is not available (meaning if your loans are not in a qualifying deferment or grace period). For loans that are not subsidized, interest begins to accrue on the loan as soon as it is disbursed, and you (the borrower) are responsible for repaying this accrued interest as well as the principal.
Student loans are simple interest loans and therefore the interest that accrues is based only on the principal balance of the loan. The total amount of interest to be paid is not a pre-determined amount because the borrower has the right to repay and prepay as aggressively as they prefer.
The cost of the loan is ultimately dependent on the term utilized by the borrower (said another way, the amount of interest that accrues on student loans depends on how long it takes the borrower to pay off the principal balance in full). To a large degree, you are in control of your total interest costs.
As a federal student loan borrower, you always have the option to pay interest on Direct Unsubsidized Stafford and Direct PLUS Loans - even while you are enrolled. Work with your servicer to determine the best way to send in voluntary interest payments if that is something you and/or your family choose to do.
At certain points in time, the unpaid accrued interest will capitalize. Capitalization is a cost of student loans that is invisible, but the impact is significant. Capitalization can increase the cost of your loans because it takes all accumulated interest that is unpaid (from loans such as your Direct Unsubsidized Stafford and Direct PLUS Loans) and makes it a part of the original principal balance. Once capitalization occurs, your new (and larger) principal balance begins accruing interest. In effect, your interest is now accruing interest. Typically , while in an in-school deferment, no capitalization will occur.
For those of you who are visual learners, here is an example of the capitalization a medical school student may experience. Obviously, it is not a positive process, and the less often it happens, the better.
As we saw earlier, the median balance of debt for the Class of 2011 was $162,000. For a medical student that took out $162,000 during medical school, they likely accrued $23,000 in interest (during four years of medical school and six months of grace). When this interest capitalized, the loans have a new, higher principal balance of about $185,000, and additional interest now accrues based on this higher balance.

At the end of the 1999 hit film "Fight Club", Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter watch as the skyline explodes and credit card giants collapse to the ground, instantly eliminating credit card debt for millions of Americans. While the average credit card debt per American household is a hotly contested issue, my 20 and 30 something friends watched the final credits of "Fight Club" roll (pun unintended) with no shortage of conspiratorial smiles and wistful sighing.
Although the image of a collapsing skyline doesn't resonate with the same appeal in a post 9-11 world, many Americans, absent the collateral damage, would still be thrilled with the end result. Imagine this — you have just opened your credit card statements and the balances have all plunged to zeroes. And we're not talking about a series of zeroes prefaced by a really high number.
But even though we can't blow up buildings, there are solid methods by which we can detonate our debt. In a series of installments, you'll meet my friend Oliver (not his real name of course). Oliver, now 27, has a well-paying job but can't pay off his credit cards.
In each installment I'll show him – and you – how to eliminate your debt step by step . It will be like "Fight Club" all over again if you can imagine that, just without the famous cast, the special effects, the…well, you get the idea.
My friend Oliver fits into the category of the Freshman 15 – the college student who puts on weighty credit card debt – by the time he graduated from college. Oliver's case was even bigger than your average student's – by the time he was a senior, Oliver toppled the scale with a hefty Freshman 50K in credit card debt!
A well-paying job and help from his folks helped reduce the burden, but at 27 years old Oliver still owes $17,050 to several credit card companies. He also finds that, in spite of keeping up with his monthly payments, he is making little progress in putting a dent into his debt.
The good news for Oliver — and for my readers — is that my five step program is easy to follow and focuses on things that you can do to save money and reduce your debt without paying a cent to the credit card companies. In fact, only one step directly focuses on paying back your creditors.
So let's get started:
Calculate Your Debt to the Decimal Point
Before you can you even begin to attack your debt you need to know exactly how much you owe and what your interest rates are. This is difficult, if not impossible, if you don't have it in a written format. A visual graph illustrating the balance per credit card and your credit cards' Annual Percentage Rates is imperative.
This month you are going to go through all of your credit card bills and create an Excel spreadsheet that will look something like Oliver's chart below:
Name of Credit Card | Minimum Monthly Payment | APR | Balance |
Credit Card 1 | $150.00 | 18.99% | $12,000 |
Credit Card 2 | $85 | 17.99% | $5,000 |
Credit Card 3 | $15 | 19.99% | $50 |
Total Debt | $17,050 |
Keep in Mind:
- Twice a month, or whenever there is a major change in your balance, APR or minimum payment, make sure that your spreadsheet is up to date (checkout online finance organizer like http://www.mint.com).
- Set up reminders for yourself to check your spreadsheet in whichever way works best for you. For instance, you can create a reminder on your Outlook calendar and receive the reminder by automated email reminder twice a month.

Many attempts have been made to capitalize on man's quest for MS Office on a smart phone. While Plus is only compatible with MS Excel, and then only in the XML Spreadsheet 2003 format, it does at least partially satisfy that quest. It gives iPhone users a capable spreadsheet app that can import from and export to a format Excel can accept and can also e-mail individual worksheets in comma delimited format.
Plus is a spreadsheet with most of the features normally expected from such an app, including the ability to create, import, and export multi-worksheet workbooks. It supports formulas and has over seventy functions, is compatible with MS Excel, and supports landscape and portrait views. A free file sharing app for OS X and Windows can be downloaded from the author's web site and allows you to easily import and export spreadsheet files.
Plus does have a few rough edges with its user interface. When you create a new workbook or worksheet, for instance, if you don't tap Open after naming it then it still is created but is named Untitled. Another oddity is that although it makes help available from within the app, the manual is actually online, which means iPod Touch users who aren't always connected are out of luck.
The online help, while good, is far from perfect. It does a decent job of telling you how to use the separate Sharem app, for example, which can be downloaded from the author's web site, but doesn't give you step by step instructions. In the end you're left struggling to get it to work on your own. None of these things end up making Plus unusable, but a more consistent user experience and a little more support from the developer would be welcome.
In the end Plus is definitely a worthwhile app. The Sharem application worked flawlessly under Windows Vista, and I was able to easily transfer Excel spreadsheets back and forth and edit and open them on both the PC and my iPod Touch. The screen, while small, works great, and you can use multi-touch gestures to zoom in and out, as well as orient the device in landscape mode. The question then is really not whether Plus is worth its asking price, but rather will its limited support of Excel's XML file format be enough for you? If you need full MS Office compatibility, this will disappoint.
