Students Agree Cell Phones in Class Are Distracting
By: Maryellen Weimer, PhD in Effective Classroom Management
Add Comment |
In case you ever had any doubts, research (reference below) now exists that verifies that both students and teachers find cell phones ringing in class distracting. The results also document strong support from students and faculty for policies against ringing cell phones. Although there was strong support against cell phones going off in class, the strength of that support was mediated by age. The younger cohort in the study was more tolerant of cell phones than the older cohort.
The problem, of course, is that regardless of the classroom management technique you try, it is virtually impossible to prevent cell phones from ringing in class. They ring despite strongly worded statements in the syllabus, regular announcements in class, and threats of various sorts. Well, they don't actually ring, they beep out jingles, tunes, and other electronic sounds.
Ringing phones in college classrooms are distracting, and faculty, probably because we didn't grow up using cell phones, seem particularly annoyed when they do go off in class. If you want to generate discussion in the faculty mailroom, ask several folks standing there what they do about the problem. For many, there's something of a power issue involved here. Despite policies against cell phones in the syllabus, or announcements by the teacher that they must be turned off, right in the middle of an important point, one goes off. Every one hears the phone and watches as someone (who is usually quite embarrassed) retrieves and silences it.
So what should a faculty member do when the inevitable occurs? Confiscate the phone? Accost the offender? Wail and carry on about how students show no respect? The problem with these loud and powerful responses is that most of the time they don't prevent the problem from recurring.
It seems more prudent not to make a mountain out of a molehill. That doesn't mean molehills have to be tolerated. Their offensiveness should indeed be pointed out. But when the distraction occurs, perhaps there is silence and then an attempt to regroup. "Now, where were we?" "What's the last thing you wrote in your notes?" "Do you understand what I was trying to explain?" The disruption becomes an opportunity to review and connect with what students are (or are not) understanding. This prevents the disruption from doing even more harm when it not only distracts but results in an unpleasant exchange that threatens the climate for learning.
Editor's Note: On Thursday, we'll highlight one professor's creative response to cell phones ringing in class.

it's really good not to allow cell phones in school
Dr Meanass | December 17, 2011
I make it clear, if the phone goes off, the student is asked to leave the classroom. Doesn't take that many occurrences to cure the problem.
koenAhn | December 28, 2011
I'm in pre-university education and I've only heard a cellphone go off in class approximately five times. FIVE TIMES. Over a period of FIVE YEARS! I would not exactly call that an awful lot of ringing phones.

To tell the truth, im a teacher at saguaro high and my students that have cell phones are always on it! i want to be the cool teacher and not take it away, how would it be a nice way to take it away? if you know … please please reply !!!!!!!! thanks

Why not establish a rule in your class that during class hours, no one should be using their phone.

Climate Change Levy (CCL)
Taking energy efficiency seriously
We take energy efficiency seriously for two very good reasons. To minimise the environmental impact of our business activities and to help reducing energy costs for our customers.
Tax on commercial energy use
The Climate Change Levy (CCL) is an environmental energy tax which was introduced in the UK in April 2001. It is charged on the business use of energy and is designed to encourage businesses to become more energy efficient and thereby reduce greenhouse gas emissions. By working with you to improve energy efficiency, we can help reduce the impact of the CCL on your bottom line.
What is CCL charged on?
CCL is charged on "taxable commodities" supplied for lighting, heating and power purposes to business customers in the industrial, commercial, agricultural and public service sectors.
"Taxable commodities" include natural gas, electricity, petroleum and hydrocarbon gas in a liquid state, coal, lignite and coke.
CCL isn't charged on road fuel and other oils which are already subject to excise duty. It's also not charged on certain other supplies of energy, including supplies to:
- Domestic customers.
- Charities when put to a non-business use.
- Business customers who consume very small quantities of energy.
There are some other exemptions and reductions from the levy.
Who charges CCL and how is it charged?
CCL is charged by suppliers of taxable commodities and is generally shown as a separate line item on energy bills. Suppliers collect the CCL charged to customers and pay this over to HM Revenue & Customs. For further details, visit Understanding your bill.
How much is the CCL?
The rates of CCL for natural gas and electricity for the relevant time period are shown in the table below.
Time period |
Natural gas |
Electricity |
1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015 | 0.188p | 0.541p |
1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014 | 0.182p | 0.524p |
All rates shown in per kilowatt hour (kWh).
Can I reduce my CCL charges?

Generate your own business energy and reduce your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint.
*Some exemptions and exclusions apply.
At a glance
The CCL is an environmental energy tax for businesses.
How does it affect me?
Being energy efficient can help you cut costs, as well as reducing emissions.
How can British Gas help?
We can work with you to lower your environmental impact and cut costs.
Where can I find out more?
You can find out more about the CCL on the HM Revenue & Customs website.

This is simple. I see the ads on Facebook quite often. This one says, "Songwriting Lessons." So wouldn't I assume that it's being done by someone with lots of experience writing, and lots of street credibility behind them? In other words, CUTS! I am always skeptical of anyone who is, in my opinion, preying upon the hopes and dreams of young wannabes. But this one, in particular, bugged me. As far as I could find, this young lady offering songwriting lessons, has the following street cred:
1. No NARAS qualified cuts. (that means not even indie, which count as half a cut with NARAS).
2. No songs posted on the web, other than 2 at last.fm, and they are from her senior recital. Neither of which could be played.
3. Even her last.fm player has only 2 plays over the past four months (and mine was 1 of them).
So will someone please tell me why she's qualified to teach songwriting and charge $75 an hour for it?

Marc, please re-read what I wrote. You'll note that I specifically mentioned that I AM NOT laying into you. You're defending something I've not attacked in you, and specifically said I'm not. So my question is, why did you go on the defense concerning all that you do, when I was simply only attacking what one girl was doing? Makes me think you felt like you had to. Hey, if your work stands for it's self, why bother defending it? I'm quite sure many criticize my work, and all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say, "hey, at least my mom likes it!"
I'll just, for the moment, step politely, as though through a minefield, all the names dropped upon the floor.
Buy I must say, how is it that neil diamond, peter frampton and gary busey get lumped into the same group? I'm a bit confused. Last I recall, Neil Diamond had a few hits, and Peter Frampton, well... Come on now! Legend. NOW, if HE wants to teach songwriting, I'll be the first to say pay for that one.
MArc-Alan Barnette said:
You can attempt to lay into me any way you want. My reputation pretty much speaks for itself. I guess as far as paying off you can ask Frankie Ballard who signed a publishing deal six months after writing his first real song with me, and two months after that signed a record deal with Warner Brothers and is now on tour with Taylor Swift. Three years from first song to major deal and yes I had a ton to do with that. The songs I helped him write got him his deal so yeah, he would probably say yes. So would Steel Magnolia.
Because what I do is not just songwriting. It is focus, saving time, being safe with your money, not spending anything you don't have to, and meeting people that it would take you years to meet in a way as a friend so you don't spend tireless years and countless money going in the wrong direction.
And as far as the 22 year old girl from Miami or the 15 year old girl AND HER PARENTS this weekend from Atlanta, who in one day wrote two songs and got her first invitation to write from a number one writer,yes, they would probably say it is worth it too.
It is all about what you promise and what you deliver. My promise is that they will understand more about writing, the business, networking, focus, making the most of their time and the realities that in every thing you do, there may be NO payoff whatsover.
And, in case you don't know because it doesn't sound like you do, money doesn't guarantee anything. You might have missed Richard Scrushy,the chairman of the board of Health South (who is now in jail) that spent around $20 million dollars on trying to buy a career or the multiple artists that record labels spend $2-3 million on that never paid off. Or Jessica Simpson, Neil Diamond, Peter Frampton, Gary Busey, Ronnie Cox,Crystal Bernard, or the multiple Hollywood celebrities, models, actors, who spent millions upon millions of dollars to get and lose record deals.Looks doesn't guarantee it, money doesn't guarantee it. And talent doesn't guarantee it.
I point all of that out, show why it happens or doesn't and lay out methodical career advice.
What happens from there is on them. I do what I am asked to do. Help them understand the game.
And to show that the shoe has been on the other foot, about a year before I moved to town I met a guy in Birmingham Al. who had lived in Nashville for ten years with some success. His name was Ron Muir and I paid him to do the same with me that I do with others. that is what led to a Shelby Lynne cut my first night in town, the one Kris Bergsness mentioned, "That's Where It Hurt." The money I spent with him saved me ten-twelve years and probably a hundred thousand dollars. And yes, the check I got for that one exceeded what I paid him too.
"...... Industry of Hope" as my bud calls it-
i love that term as it beautifully describes the blind led by the smarmy predators- of which there are many in this town and lurking on this site !! i find them both amusing as they have this wonderful symbiotic relationship- people need to be told they are wonderful- and many have no problem paying for it- think of it as a kind of professional prostitution ! :)
keep fighting the good the fight !

The more I ponder these posts, the more bothered I am by much of not only what I've read, but also what I've written. I think I've not been very clear on this. I have no desire to attack any particular person here, but I want to be very clear about how I feel about this, should there be the case that some newcomer to Nashville would be reading this post.
I do not agree with the practice of charging someone for the sake of making introductions for them. I think this is a bad practice that hurts our industry. I do not believe it's ethical. Mark, I can't know what you're doing other than what you've told me you are doing, so this is not an accusation, but rather, if I understand correctly, a disapproval of the business practices you've claimed to be a part of.
I simply couldn't associate myself, no matter the gain that might come to me, with someone who would charge someone else in order to introduce them to me. Especially if I were a person of great success in the music industry. I'd not ever entertain the idea of someone being brought to me as a result of being charged to make an introduction. I'd view that in this way: Imagine I'm the head of a record label, and you've become my friend. Now, as a result of our friendship, you have "access" to my ear, and I'll basically listen to anything you put in front of me, on the spot. Heck, I might likely take a meeting with anyone you've recommended even if I've not listened to them. But then later on, I find out that you charged that person a fee in order to gain access to me! Now, I'm thinking that you're not only an unethical businessman, but also one hell of a horrible friend because you're using our friendship to gain and make profit by no merit of your own abilities or talents, other than those you've used to deceive me into thinking that you're my friend simply for the purpose of being my friend! Does this make sense to anyone here? THE BUSINESS OF CHARGING PEOPLE TO MAKE INTRODUCTIONS TO OTHER PEOPLE IS A SCAM! PERIOD! It robs the industry of integrity and ethics, and it should be recognized as such and called out actively.
Now, I do believe that if I were in the same position, it'd be fine with a friend making an introduction to me or for me, knowing that they were doing so for the benefit of me or the other person being introduced, without any regard to their own profit.
An exception may be in the case of an artist's manager, who's job it is to secure additional opportunities. Correct me if I'm wrong here, though, but managers don't charge by the hour. The invest their time and energy into the success of an individual, and then participate financially in that success. In other words, they take risk. They risk their time and resources for the sake of a hopeful return of success in the represented individual. To me, this make sense, and is an ethical business model. But to simply charge someone for the same service, taking no risk and profiting regardless of the success or failure of the individual? Nah, I don't like that idea. I don't believe it's ethical within the music industry to do this.
Now, I'll clearly say a workman is worth his hire. Meaning that if someone works for you, feed them. You can hire people and pay them an hourly wage. Engineers and musicians should be paid. Period. They should not be taking an equity risk, nor should they be participating in an equity return in your efforts, except for potential future labor opportunities, in which they will continue to earn a fare wage for their work. Producers, well, that's a bit tough to define, right? But we all know what the standards are. If they're putting up the money, they should be taking home the recoupment first, and perhaps more points for taking on the risk. If you put up the money, well, then the tables turned. You take home the recoupment, and then pay them a standard wage (of course with a recoupable up-front fee, so their investment isn't 100% risk, 'cause their time is still an investment).
Hope that clarifies my position. I think if one were to find themselves outside what I find is ethical, well, then it's up to them to decide on their own what is ethical and what is not, and continue in business practices they feel are ethical. Then let it be up to each individual, such as myself, as to if we feel it's right.
I seem to recall a guy who's name is commonly associated with a major religion in the world, and he did much of what I described above. He's not well thought of by any who had dealings with him that I have encountered. So I say think very carefully what you do, for it may come back to bite you in the arse. Don't be a fool and pay for that which should ethically be free. Relationships and introductions being the biggest of these.
If anyone should profit by knowing me, they will do so because I've treated them with kindness and concern for their needs, not my own.

Last Time?
by Leighanm Sturgin
"Wonder if this will be the last time we'll all be together?" said my new friend and colon cancer sister, Lindsey. We'd just spent the past 5 days at the 2015 Colondar 2.0 photo shoot with 10 other colon cancer survivors being treated like rock stars by the Colondar staff, many of whom are survivors themselves having modeled in previous Colondars. We were sitting in a Nashville airport restaurant waiting to fly home, back to our real lives. Back to places and people who didn't understand us.
Lindsey's question wasn't referring to whether we could arrange our schedules or afford to meet back together. She was quite literally wondering if we'd all live long enough. I thought, "No, there is a Colondar model reunion in October in Colorado and Fight CRC's Call on Congress we'd all been invited to in March 2016, surely this first time we've come together as a family won't be the last."
Sadly, I was wrong.
We all bonded in Nashville. We stayed in one giant house at the beautiful Five Star Retreat. The Colondar staff and models were all together for 5 days. You might think that's too short a time to form lifelong bonds but it's amazing how good it feels to be surrounded by people who REALLY understand what you've gone through for years. Those shared experiences made us feel like we'd been family forever as soon as we met. Some of us bonded closer than others or more quickly than others. For me and Christy, the bond was deep and instant. I chose to drive 3 hours to fly out of Pittsburgh with Christy instead of a closer airport. You might think both being from the Burgh was what bonded us so quickly but it wasn't. It wouldn't have mattered if Christy was from planet Mars. It was her. She was so amazing her eyes sparkled. For real. Her energy was genuine as it was contagious. She was one of those life-of-the-party types. I think everyone she met loved her. She had this unbelievable talent of knowing every word, to every song, in just about every genre. Not just the chorus…but ALL the words! She was a human Karaoke machine. She was strong yet so tenderhearted. The first one in tears when we had to leave each other. She was the last one to go to bed every night in Tennessee, so vibrant and full of life. We joked every night that she was 'the last Colondar standing!' I would've never pegged her to be the one who wouldn't make it to see the 2015 Colondar 2.0 in print. Never. Ever. The BeachBody coach and fan of Shakeology, she was in MUCH better shape than me on our 3 mile hike through the woods. I swear it was up hill both ways. Everyone graciously stopped at least twice to let me catch my breath. Scott even offered to carry me on the way back! But Christy had no trouble at all. She even went paddle boating afterwards. If Energizer was looking for a new bunny, she would've been perfect for the job. She even had experience as her high school mascot.
A few of us have visited each other here and there. Whenever one of us is near a city another of us lives in we always try to get together. And we've all kept in constant contact via social media. I went to Pennsylvania in July to meet with Christy and her sister. We went to get tattoos of the blue colorectal star/ribbons on our wrists but when we got there Christy didn't get one. I told her my docs wouldn't let me get a tattoo when I was on chemo so she checked with her docs and they quickly vetoed the tattoo idea because she was in treatment. I still got mine and her sister got the word "LOVE" in Christy's handwriting on her back. We had lunch and went shopping for the rest of the afternoon. We made plans to get together over Thanksgiving but she called me the day of our meeting and said she wasn't feeling up to it, which I totally understood because I've had to cancel many things I wanted to do but just didn't feel well enough myself.
Only two of us 2015ers went to the Colondar reunion. Despite Christy's urgings I didn't go. She even offered to drive the 1500+ miles with me to get me to go because flying with TPN and a high output ileostomy can be challenging for me. I wanted to see Scott again and meet his beautiful wife. And as fun as I thought a road trip would be with Christy, she couldn't talk me into going. With marching band, football and soccer season in the fall, I didn't want to miss any of my kids activities. I didn't know it at the time when we talked about going together but that weekend ended up being homecoming and my son, a freshman, had his first date to a high school dance. As I stood in the cold, taking pictures of him and his beautiful date, I told my husband how glad I was that I didn't go with her. I would have been so sad if I had missed seeing him all dressed up for that dance. I'm not even sure he would have asked the girl if I wasn't home to take him shopping for dress clothes.
But now, today, I'm kicking myself for not going with her. I can't go back and change my decision so instead, I will cherish the time I did spend with her and be thankful for the short time I knew her. I am positive I will always love her and never forget her.
She fought the good fight. Surrounded by love both near and far, on February 3, 2015 Christy Joyce Schmieler, 33, (aka @flutie75) finished the race.

text: I started a new build of current dev LFS, and noticed some strange behavior from tar once inside chroot. Using tar 1.23, attempting to pipe its "tf" output through "head" results in a "tar: write error". In other words... tar -tjf /home/sources/glibc-2.11.1.tar.bz2 | head -n1 glibc-2.11.1/ ./tar-1.23/src/tar: write error I do not get any kind of error message when just using "tar -tf" by itself, only when piping through "head". Also, I tried piping through various other programs (grep, sed...) and got nothing. Initially I thought there was some problem with filesystems mounted or something like that in the chroot, but I get exactly the same result on my host system. In fact, if I unpack tar 1.22 and do "./configure && make", then do the same with tar 1.23, and try using the "tf" option with both versions of tar (this is on my host system)... chris at chris_laptop:~$ ./tar-1.22/src/tar -tjf /home/sources/glibc-2.11.1.tar.bz2 | head -n1 ./tar-1.22/src/tar: Record size = 8 blocks glibc-2.11.1/ chris at chris_laptop:~$ ./tar-1.23/src/tar -tjf /home/sources/glibc-2.11.1.tar.bz2 | head -n1 glibc-2.11.1/ ./tar-1.23/src/tar: write error chris at chris_laptop:~$ I also get the same result inside chroot. My host system is a few-months-old CLFS build with EGLIBC, and the chroot environment is a current LFS dev build, so there are different versions of both libc and Coreutils, but I get the same results. I don't know why it seems to come up only when piping through head, and it doesn't really seem to affect anything - my scripts (which use tar tf | head and are the reason I noticed this in the first place) still seem to work fine. I just want to verify if anyone else gets the same result - basically take Tar 1.23, do "tar tf [filename] | head" and see what happens.

My bun is on an antibiotic (Baytril) as prescribed from my vet and he also wants me to give the bun some plain yogurtw/active culture. This is to help keepthe flora balanced. I remember readingaboutyogurt but don't know where I read it. Is thisok to do?Is there an easy way to give yogurt?
i know i feed my bunnies "Yogies" as a treat (which they absolutely looove) but to feed them yogurt...not too sure of that
NO!!! Yogurt is not good for rabbits. They can't digest milk products. See MediRabbit.com article here:Feeding Yogurt to Rabbits There are a couple of probiotics on the market that are good for rabbits. One is ProBios. It's sold in feed stores. Get the gel sold in a large syringe for equines. All of my rabbits love the taste of it. Another one is BeneBac. It can be purchased in pet stores.
Bene-bac is only available in my local pet stores in very small tubes for hamsters and such. But I get it in a 15g tube from Amazon for $7.95 for my 10 lb bunny who has been on antibiotics. Bene-bac small mammal gel I think it's called. For me, that was a more reasonable size than the ones for horses. And I agree -- do NOT give a bunny yogurt. And you might want to find a more up-to-date rabbit vet. My vet gave me the first tube of bene-bac, which he had on hand.
I would also recommend using Benebac instead of yogurt. As Petra mentioned, you might only be able to find it in the small tubes at the petstores. I've heard them reffered to as "single-dose" or "one-shots". If they don't have them in the small animal section of the store, check in the bird section. I've also substituted acidophilus for Benebac. Most drug stores carry acidophilus. I buy it in the capsule form.....open the capsule and sprinkle it on their food or mix with something like babyfood.
The bunnies reveal their wisdom a bit at a time,....so as not to embarrass me. [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/JimmD/IMG_1333-1.jpg[/IMG]
Everyone is correct. Yogurt is not okay for rabbits. What your rabbit needs is a probiotic to help keep the flora balanced. Yogurt will upset the flora and cause more problems than your bun already has and that would mean more money spent at the vet. I should know, it cost me about $3,000 to get Prince's leg fixed.
Thanks everyone for all the input. I do remember looking for BeneBac but I could not find any that said rabbits. They did have for birds and cats. So BeneBac listed for any small mammal will work? If I find any of the following; Probios, BeneBac, Acidophilus, what would be the correct amount to administer to my bun? As far as finding a more up to date rabbit vetthat willcheck small animals, the closest one for me would be more than 50 + miles away.... This is why I check with R.O.L. Again thanks for all the input.
I usually say a gram a day. For the paste/gel, that translates to about pea-sized portion.
You can use powdered form benebac for cats or dogs but not the bird kind. I am not sure about the amount but if you get it then read and post the instructions on the back ; you want aboout 1 gm at a time as Claire said
I just picked upa probiotic. It's made by PETER'S and isa rabbit probiotic. Did I make an ok purchase? Peters Rabbit ProBiotic Digestive Tract Conditioner 1.7 oz.Peters Rabbit ProBiotic contains Lactobacillus Acidophilus and a combination of natural ingredients that work to enhance and maintain a rabbits overall digestive health. Also helpful for diarrhea and other digestive stresses. 100% safe for rabbits and other small animals. I could not find Benebac anywhere. angieluv, here's the instructions for use;Add 1/2 teaspoonper 8oz. of water. Discardafter 24 hours. Use daily or as necessary. For now I will not administer. Bun is showing NO signs of diarrhea. If her condition should change I will follow the instruction on the bottle unless I hear otherwise from R.O MOD's or Members. I know probiotics are used for digestive problems but is this something that can be given once in a while or should it be given only when there's a problem??? Thanks again for all your input

When the web was new, all you needed to launch a public company like Netscape was an idea, a couple hundred employees, and a multimillion-dollar loss in the previous year. After the dotcom bubble burst, the bar to going public got much higher. When Google held its IPO in 2004, it had already been profitable for three years. And when Facebook hits the public market, it will be truly huge—with a profit of $1 billion in 2011. So if you want to go public today, here's the secret: Build a company that's so big you don't need the money.—Joanna Pearlstein
netscape | ||||
Year of IPO | 1995 | 2004 | 2012* | |
Dollars raised | $207 million | $1.5 billion | $5 billion* | |
Number of employees at time of IPO filing | 257 | 2,292 | 3,200 | |
Revenue in fiscal year before IPO | $8 million | $1.8 billion | $3.7 billion | |
Profit (loss) in year before IPO | ($16.5 million) | $128.9 million | $1 billion | |
Quote from prospectus | "There can be no assurance that the market for the Company's products and services will develop … or that individual PC users will use the Internet for commerce and communication." | "Don't be evil. We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short-term gains." | "Simply put: we don't build services to make money; we make money to build better services." | |
*projected |
VCs and angels may talk about changing the world, but their business model rests on a more prosaic calculation: Buy low, sell high. They invest in companies they think will become more valuable, so they can sell their stake for a sizable profit. From the time that VCs invest in a company, they have five years—10 at the most—to sell their entire position, hopefully for many times more than their original investment. After that, it doesn't matter to them whether the company survives a year or a century.
To put it another way, the VC model is based on creating wealth for investors, not on building successful businesses. You buy into a company early on and sell out a few years later; if you pick well, you can make lots of money. But your profits don't accrue to the company itself, which could implode after your exit for all you care. Silicon Valley is full of venture capitalists who have become dynastically wealthy off the backs of companies that no longer exist.
Of course, once VCs make their investments, they don't just sit back and hope for the best; they push the companies to grow as fast as possible. That may work for the likes of Apple, Facebook, and Google—all-or-nothing bets on legitimately world-changing technologies. But it creates problems for more modest startups, which might have the potential to grow into perfectly sustainable medium-size firms.
Because venture capitalists require such massive returns, they invariably force the companies they invest in to take outsize risks. Look, for instance, at Groupon. In the first quarter of 2010, it made a profit of $8 million on revenue of $44 million. That's a healthy profit margin for a young company, and it's easy to see how it could have grown steadily from that point onward.
But in the first quarter of 2011, Groupon's revenue skyrocketed to $645 million—an increase of 1,357 percent in one year. Meanwhile, the once-profitable company was suddenly faced with a loss of $146 million. In one quarter. The reason for the reversal? Groupon, with the full support of its VC backers, juiced revenue by spending gobs of money on marketing, sacrificing profits for growth. That's an enormous bet: If the company grows fast enough, everyone gets extremely wealthy—but if it stumbles, it can quickly wither.
In this case, the gamble paid off. When Groupon went public in November 2011, just three years after it first launched, it was valued at almost $13 billion, making billionaires of founders Eric Lefkofsky, Brad Keywell, and CEO Andrew Mason. But now the company must keep up its torrid pace of growth or risk alienating its many investors. Indeed, Groupon's very first quarterly earnings report sparked hand-wringing news stories about the company's performance.
And for every Groupon success story, there are scores of VC-backed companies that never go public. Sometimes the flameouts are truly spectacular: The phone service Amp'd Mobile, for example, was so eager to grow that it signed up customers regardless of their ability to pay. When too many of them turned out to be deadbeats, the company went bankrupt in 2007, taking $360 million in venture capital down with it. Amp'd didn't need to fail. It might well have achieved sustainable and modest profitability had it not expanded at such a breakneck pace.
Or take Zappos. CEO Tony Hsieh had hoped to maintain control of his company, but his investors, led by Sequoia Capital's Mike Moritz, had other ideas. In 2009, worried about Zappos' cash flow, they started pressuring Hsieh. "If the economy didn't improve," Hsieh recalled in Inc. magazine, "the board would fire me and hire a new CEO who was concerned only with maximizing profits." As a result, Hsieh decided to sell Zappos to Amazon, which he thought would be a better steward than the investor-packed board of directors. Hsieh may have kept the board from seizing control of his company, but he had to give up his independence to do so.
Once a company goes public, the demand for constant growth only increases. Conventional public companies enter into a devil's bargain: "Give us capital now and we'll attempt to grow in perpetuity," says Silicon Valley-based IPO consultant Lise Buyer. "The problem comes when companies try to do heroic things to meet expectations every quarter, even when that's an unnatural act."
It's like British cyclist Tom Simpson, who took a combination of cognac and amphetamines before a brutally hot stage of the 1967 Tour de France. It enabled him to push past his limits—until he collapsed and died on the slopes of Mount Ventoux. Sometimes it's best to conserve energy, to play the long game, and not to risk everything for the sake of a short-term win. But once you're public, the markets start pushing you to hit those numbers every quarter. And the results can be fatal. Look, for example, at Hewlett-Packard—arguably the most venerable and respected company in Silicon Valley, stifled by cost-cutting managers and board members who were always trying to do what was right for the share price rather than what was right for the company and its legacy. Today HP is struggling to define itself.
Of course, plenty of venture-backed companies fail before they have a chance to go public. VCs tend to shrug that off as a cost of doing business; their model depends on funding a whole lot of losers in order to discover a few big winners. And if they can't take their portfolio companies public, they'll simply sell them. Indeed, selling out to an established player has become a popular alternative exit strategy for young companies. (Last year 429 VC-backed companies were acquired, while 52 went public.)
The problem is that, despite every assurance, acquired companies almost always give up their identity and mission when they get folded into a larger behemoth. It's a story you hear again and again: Flickr was a flagship of the Web 2.0 era until Yahoo bought it and turned it into a photo-sharing afterthought; TechCrunch dominated the tech blogosphere until AOL's meddling alienated founder Michael Arrington and many of his top staffers.
Something has to change. It's time to stop forcing young companies into a broken process. We need to find a way to invest in new businesses without jeopardizing their future.

Inspired by CJF Mission to Nicaragua, YU Students Make a Difference in Kenya
Ever since she was in ninth grade, Avital Levine, a biology major at Stern College for Women, dreamed of traveling to Africa. "I got hooked after watching a documentary about HIV/AIDS and from then on, I was determined to go there."
This summer, Levine's dream came true, when she spent five weeks in Nairobi, Kenya with fellow student Chanie Shalmoni, a business major at Sy Syms School of Business.
Interning through the Advance Africa program, the pair enjoyed a unique opportunity to volunteer in a medical clinic and orphanage, caring for underprivileged children and gaining hands-on medical experience. The women also had a chance to go on a safari and explore the local sites, in addition to connecting with the small Jewish community nearby, including an African family who had recently converted to Judaism.

AJ Lucas expects 'disappointing' first half
PUBLISHED: 01 Feb 2010 10:00:45 | UPDATED: 02 Feb 2010 09:27:29PRINT EDITION: 01 Feb 2010
AJ Lucas Group has said shareholders should brace themselves for disappointing half-year results, but has tipped a second-half turnaround.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the six months to December 31 are expected to show an $18 million loss, the Sydney-based company said on Monday.
"As foreshadowed in the 2009 Annual Report and November's annual general meeting, the Group has experienced a disappointing first half year," AJ Lucas said in a statement.
"The legacy of management missteps from the previous financial year, delays in project timing and general business uncertainty have all affected the group's financial performance," it told the stock exchange.
The company said its EBITDA included non-recurring costs of $10.1 million, and no interim dividend for the half-year was anticipated.
Drilling revenues were strong during the first half of the financial year, but the general market uncertainty in 2009 led to irregular work, it said.
"Infrastructure works on the various CSG (coal seam gas) and LNG (liquefied natural gas) projects, the division's principal domain, have been slow to start, affecting the financial results," it said.
But AJ Lucas said the second half should see much stronger results, with EBITDA of more than $30 million and its "growing pains" over.
"Our future prospects are very encouraging," AJ Lucas the company said.
"The drilling division now has a full order book for calendar 2010 and, barring unforeseen events, will deliver a substantially improved operating result in the second half," AJ Lucas said.
Its construction and infrastructure divisions benefited from $20 million in work to government schools, with another $20 million of such work to come, it said.

What's Your Best Hair Color?

7 Tips For Great Prom Hair

Q&A – When Should I Start Dating Again?
First Aid for Seizures
Are you rocking the right hair color for your skin tone? The wrong one can make you look washed out, sallow, drab, or muddy. Rejuvenate your complexion, brighten up your best features and give your skin a healthy glow with these expert tips to find the right hair shade for you...
The main trick to finding the right hair color is to complement, not match, your skin's undertones. Here's a crash course on the 3 basic shades of undertones, along with recommended hair colors for each:
Pink/Blue Undertones
Hair shades:
Intense browns, reds or blonds work well for the base color. Pick golden, ash or honey highlights for contrast.
Red Undertones
Hair shades:
Above all, avoid bright red tones. Don't over-process your hair or go too blond or too dark. Ask your hair colorist for a honey brown or a golden base color. Add caramel lowlights to give your hair a sun-kissed appearance and make your skin appear less red.
Yellow Undertones
Hair shades:
Avoid a yellow or golden hair color, which will make your skin look sallow. Instead, use a deep, rich base color like intense dark chocolate, chestnut, mahogany, or auburn.
Ask your stylist for highlights in shades of cinnamon, red, burgundy, or dark copper, which will help neutralize the yellow in your skin.
Determining your skin's undertone will give you a basic guide for finding the right hair color for you. In addition, you should also know if you have a warm or cool complexion.
To really examine your coloring, put on a white T-shirt and stand in natural light. A good rule of thumb is if your veins are blue, you're most likely cool. If they're more greenish, your skin tone is probably warm.
Although it would make things easier if these categories were set in stone, many women don't fall perfectly into one or the other. Women of mixed heritage, in particular, may find that they have both warm and cool tone qualities.
To really nail down your skin type, you also need to determine if your coloring is light, medium or deep.
Cool Skin Tones
Your skin tone:
Pale with pink or no undertones; medium with pink or golden undertones; very dark brown; olive
Your eyes:
Deep brown, black-brown, blue, hazel, green, or bluish gray
Your natural hair color is:
Black, golden blonde or medium to dark brown
Best hair colors:
Bluish-red shades like burgundy, ruby, cherry, or garnet
Light cool
Your skin tone:
Rosy pink, pinkish-beige, pearl
Your eyes:
Grayish blue, grayish green, bluish-green, or light blue
Best hair colors:
Lighten up. Shades of white blond, platinum blond or light brown will best flatter your complexion. Add highlights that are even lighter than your base color.
Your celebrity profile:
Actress Naomi Watts has glowing rosy skin and gray-blue eyes.
Medium to deep cool
Your skin tone:
Light to dark olive or dark brown to ebony
Your eyes:
Brown to black, deep blue, deep green, or greenish-blue
Best hair colors:
Try deep colors like black or rich coffee brown. Jazz up your look with plum or burgundy highlights.
Your celebrity profile:

What Does Your Hair Color Say About You?
Hair color isn't just about looking gorgeous. For many women, it's a way to express themselves. We all know that a wool blazer says "responsible," while a low-cut camisole screams "flirt with me." But do you know what message your hair color is sending?
Whether your locks are red, black, brown, or blond, "hair color is definitely a fashion statement," says colorist Angela Berk of the Joseph Cozza salon at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco.
The impression:
Redheads are perceived as feisty, opinionated and seductive, much like Kate Winslet's character in
or Nicole Kidman in almost anything
"The word best associated with red is "hot": hot-headed and hot-tempered, but also sexy," says colorist Jon Patrick (JonPatrickColor.com), who has worked with Rebecca DeMornay and Elizabeth Banks.
On the flipside, ladies in red can also be perceived as homely – with freckles, frizzy orange hair and pale lashes.
"There's the stereotype that redheads are either drop-dead gorgeous or unattractive," Patrick says.
Must have:
A good colorist. "The right red can really pretty up your skin," Patrick promises. "But there's a fine line between red and orange, and gold and brass."
Another essential for this fiery hue is confidence.
Only 2%-5% of the population is born with red hair, and because of its rarity, "red is a great standout color," says celebrity hair stylist David Ingham (UberStylist.com), who has worked with Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford.
Play it up:
Request a vibrant red shade, Berk suggests. "The prettiest bright red hair has highlights and lowlights," she says.
After adding these, she recommends a bright glaze. Don't worry – your highlights and lowlights will still shine through.
"If you put streaks on top of the glaze, they look faded," she says.
Au naturel:
Red is the hardest color for your hair to absorb, and can look washed out as it fades.
Patrick weaves gold tones in with the red to hold the color in place. "This will afford a nice burnt undertone, even when the red fades," he explains.
Our favorite redhead:
Marcia Cross
"The red flatters her porcelain skin, giving her an otherworldly beauty," Patrick says. "It sets her apart from the other Housewives."
The impression:
"Exotic, sultry, tough, and mysterious," Ingham says. Think Lucy Liu in
Kill Bill
Great skin. Consider this analogy: When you go to a diamond shop, the jeweler places the diamond against a black cloth, which showcases the stone's assets… and flaws.
"If a woman dyes her hair black, it will show every imperfection on her face," Patrick says.
Because dark black hair can look dull, a shine-booster is essential. Berk recommends Kérastase Oleo Relax serum ($34, Kerastase-usa.com).
Play it up:
"Try highlights in a strong contrast color, like red or blond," Ingham suggests.
Another way to grab attention? "Ask your stylist for a blue-black or violet-black shade," Berk suggests.
Au naturel:
For a softer look, "add medium brown color throughout your hair," Berk says. Ingham recommends placing brown underneath the hair, rather than on the surface, à la Angie Harmon.
Our favorite black-haired celeb:
Rose McGowan
"When a woman has dark hair and pale skin, the high contrast creates a Snow White effect," Patrick says.
The impression:
"Brunettes are perceived as responsible, as the good girl," Patrick says. Think Anne Hathaway in
The Devil Wears Prada.
Different shades running through your locks. Brunettes can be ho-hum when their hair is monochromatic, Patrick says. "It's not the brown color itself that's boring, but the sameness of it."
Play it up:
"Sex up your hair with lowlights," Patrick suggests. "They add a sexy quality and a whole new dimension of depth."
To buck the boring stereotype, you can also try an extreme haircut, like long bangs or an edgy shag. If you're scissor-shy, play around with styling tools like a curling iron or Velcro rollers to make your look more interesting.
Au naturel
"The more colors that are in your hair, the more natural it will look," Berk says. "The trick is to make sure that these colors complement, not clash with, your hair."
Inspired by all the celebrities who have traded in their platinum locks for darker hues, a lot of women are asking for brown, Ingham says.
Our favorite brunette:
Jennifer Garner. With several shades of brown running through her strands, her hair takes on a rich, luxurious look.
The impression:
"Blondes are often thought of as the sex bomb," Ingham says. Think Jessica Simpson in
The Dukes of Hazzard
Since this shade can be hard to maintain, golden gals can also be stereotyped as high-maintenance and vain. "Blondes are often not taken seriously in their profession," Ingham says.
Luckily, the party-loving, flirty stereotype has advantages in the dating world. One of Ingham's clients, for example, asked for blond hair after a break-up because she wanted a sexier look now that she was back on the market.
Must have:
"Wearing blond hair is like wearing high heels," Patrick says. "It's a statement and an attitude." Since the human eye is drawn to lighter shades "you'll certainly get more attention as a blonde," he says.
And do they really have more fun? According to Patrick, yes! Blondes have more opportunity to have fun because of the attention they get.
Play it up:
Light shades like honey blond turn heads. Or go even lighter.
"Platinum blond always stands out," Berk says.
Au naturel:
Add lowlights to tone down blond hair that's gone too light, Berk suggests.
Our favorite blonde:
Gwen Stefani.
"Platinum blond is an extremely hard color to maintain, but her hair always looks beautiful and healthy," Berk says.

Taylor Swift looked red hot in her French Connection "Fast Iris" lace dress at the 2012 iHeartRadio Music Festival. Her exact dress is $198 at frenchconnection.com.
If you love the look but not the price, here's another option from the Jennifer Lopez for Kohl's collection. It's a shift rather than a fit-and-flare style but still has a similar feel. Kohl's sent me a sample of this dress and it's much nicer in person. It's fully lined and the exposed zipper detail on the back adds edge. Available in black or red for $49 (down from $70) in sizes 2-16 at kohls.com. Try code FALLFUN for an extra 15% off.

Regulation of DNA replication initiation is essential for the faithful inheritance of genetic information. Replication initiation is a multi-step process involving many factors including ORC, Cdt1p, Mcm2-7p and other proteins that bind to replication origins to form a pre-replicative complex (pre-RC). As a prerequisite for pre-RC assembly, Cdt1p and the Mcm2-7p heterohexameric complex accumulate in the nucleus in G1 phase in an interdependent manner in budding yeast. However, the nature of this interdependence is not clear, nor is it known whether Cdt1p is required for the assembly of the MCM complex. In this study, we provide the first evidence that Cdt1p, through its interaction with Mcm6p with the C-terminal regions of the two proteins, is crucial for the formation of the MCM complex in both the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. We demonstrate that disruption of the interaction between Cdt1p and Mcm6p prevents the formation of the MCM complex, excludes Mcm2-7p from the nucleus, and inhibits pre-RC assembly and DNA replication. Our findings suggest a function for Cdt1p in promoting the assembly of the MCM complex and maintaining its integrity by interacting with Mcm6p.

He may be two years older and wearing different overalls as he strides through the Jerez paddock, but it almost feels as if Kimi Raikkonen has never been away from the Formula One fold. And after impressing during the opening day of pre-season testing, Raikkonen appears to be in fine form in the Lotus too. Team principal Eric Boullier discusses how the Finn is settling in
Q: Back in November Raikkonen didnt seem to be on your agenda but then not long after you made an announcement. When did you first start talking to him about joining the team?
Eric Boullier: Well, the first talks started just after Abu Dhabi and we closed the deal in less than ten days. It all went very quickly! Just before that we were evaluating internally which driver we wanted to recruit and we only wanted to share those discussions within the team. Then we contacted Kimi - and it was done! Obviously his negotiations with Williams were going nowhere but he wanted to be back in Formula One. So it was the right time and the right situation. Clearly money was not the point. He liked the package that we offered and that was it.
Q: Did it help that he would be driving for a team with such an iconic name?
EB: I am not so sure that this played any role in his reasoning, but then of course it is better to drive for an iconic name than a no-name. I think that the key motivation for him was the feedback that he got from the team. We are not a marketing machine - we are a race team! I am not blaming anybody in the pit lane, but we are more a racing family than a machine. And he started to feel very comfortable with our crew after he realised that we are racing people!
Q: You said that the absence of Robert Kubica after his accident was the biggest blow to the team last season. Will Raikkonen help fill the void?
EB: Right away - yes! Because in terms of team morale and motivation - and even team guidance - he is there, because he is a guy that knows what he wants. I promise you he is committed and, as I just said, he knows what he wants.
Q: What is it that you expect from the Iceman? His reputation precedes him but after two years away will he struggle?
EB: I know already that he is not struggling.
Q: Is that after his running on the opening day of this weeks test?
EB: Yes - I have seen how he has been driving. Without even looking at the times, you can see from the line that he was cruising around the track on and how he uses the car. I am sure that he will need some time to find the last tweaks to be 100 per cent sure, but believe me, he is there!
Q: How much time will it take until he is back at the performance level of a race winner?
EB: He will be a potential race winner if we give him an adequate car. Obviously this is the package that he needs to have. My guess is that at the beginning of the European season he will be ready.
Q: You needed a big name to join the team in its first season as Lotus and Raikkonen needed a drive as he wanted to return to Formula One racing. The pressure is on for both sides, which could prove explosive. Are you ready for it?
EB: Do you know any world championship contender - either team or driver - that was not explosive? And I dont really see it as explosive in any way. Sure, for a team named Lotus it is a benefit having a big name. Its a perfect match because we were looking for somebody with his background, experience, charisma and speed, but he also was looking for a team to join to make a good return into Formula One. And the match is working. Obviously we all dont know right now how it will develop, but from what we have experienced over the last weeks we can be positive. Nothing can be worse than what we have experienced in the past. Lets take it easy.
Q: The teams 2011 season started with an absent star driver, a replacement who struggled and a driver in just his second season. The teams 2012 season starts with a driver who hasnt been in the sport for two years and a virtual rookie in Romain Grosjean. What did you learn last year that could help this year?
EB: What a tricky question! You never know how people will develop. Sometimes you believe it will be a perfect fit - and it is not - and sometimes the unexpected comes your way and it becomes the missing link which in turn produces a sharp step forward. In the end it all boils down to the human combinations. The fit between you and other people. And then comes the performance of the car, the teams performance and everything else that makes a Formula One team tick. Roberts accident was completely unexpected and from there we had to react. I have to say I believe that we were still doing well under those circumstances. But strategy-wise, I am happy that Genii has kept their faith in the team and they are going with us down another path, as I now believe that this is the path that we always wanted to take.
Q: Romain Grosjeans first experience of Formula One racing was tough. How can you help?
EB: In 2009 he replaced a driver without any testing at all to take over a car that was not easy to drive for a team that was completely focused on Fernando Alonso. He was not ready and he was not given a real chance. When he came to see me 15 months ago to discuss his future I told him that he had to recover first as a driver. He had lost confidence and had to rebuild, so I sent him racing in many different categories to get his feet on the ground again and to improve his reputation in Enstone again. Hed won every category that he had ever raced in and then his career spiralled when he got his Formula One chance. In 2011, as well as winning the GP2 title, he was our reserve driver which was a role that didnt come with any pressure but allowed him to gain back the trust from the engineers in our factory. And little by little he did it and the practice session he took part in last season helped him regain that respect. It will not be easy for him alongside Kimi, who is fast and a strong character, but Romain has to be ready. This is not a nursery and if you want to survive and be successful you have to fight. Kimi is not the political person that Fernando was, but Kimi is like a rock - an icy rock - so dont expect any warmth!
Q: Force India almost caught you in the constructors standings. This year they are aiming to take fifth place from you
EB: There are too many maybes and ifs! Yes, they were almost catching us at the end. We know why and have learnt from that. So let the past be the past. Of course we are focusing on breaking into the top four now - like we should have done last year if it had been the year that we had planned. Sure the forward exhausts were brave - possibly too brave - but that was all in 2011.
Q: Raikkonen is spending the first two days of this test in the car. What has his feedback been like so far?
EB: Kimi is very confident and he is very happy with the car, its balance and handling. We are heading into a long test programme that hopefully will bring some satisfaction in Melbourne for all of us. The chemistry is already working well.

City commissioners could simply demand the money, of course, in the form of higher taxes. That's unlikely, though. Miami's leaders can't even raise the damn garbage fee without upsetting an electorate poised for mutiny. Donations, at this point, are strictly voluntary.
Yet they're starting to roll in. The City of Miami has collected $111 so far from private citizens who want to help. Two checks and a one-dollar bill have arrived in the mail at the office of Mayor Joe Carollo. "I congratulate you on your public spirit, and only wish more people in the world shared your altruism," wrote Carollo in a December 4 thank-you note to Arlond R. Jack Banks, one of the people who donated.
Banks, who wrote out a check for $100, was reluctant to discuss his generosity. "No, I don't want to talk about it," he said when reached by telephone last week at his Kendall home, seven miles southwest of Miami's city limits. "It's my own personal thing. Goodbye."
His letter to Carollo (actually a greeting card) will have to speak for itself. Along with his donation, payable to "City of Miami Treasury Management" and memoed for "budget shortfall," was the following epistle: "The enclosed check is sent to you with a feeling of goodwill, with no strings attached. It surely will not make a dent in the City of Miami's budget shortfall but it won't hurt either. Hopefully other citizens will do something similar. Miami needs a little help from those who care."
The greeting printed inside the card: "Hope you feel better!"
The national spotlight on Miami's crisis has paid at least one dividend -- a letter from Arthur Fleming of St. Petersburg, addressed to "Mayor Joe Carollo of Miami, the City Worth Saving from Disaster!" Inside, in a stream-of-consciousness treatise on civic responsibility and the importance of prayer, Fleming explained that he had been a cop in Brooklyn for twenty years, during which time New York City faced its own budget mess. Because then-mayor Ed Koch held back two weeks of Fleming's pay (among other palliatives), the city was saved. "I am thankful to Ed Kotch [sic] because he got help from people who gave a crap about dignity," Fleming shouted in thick black ink.
Included with the letter was a worn dollar bill ("to help!") and a suggestion that Carollo get down on his knees and ask God for guidance. "When you do this, the answer to all your problems will be given to you," Fleming noted. "Believe me -- I am not a holy-roller-Bible-belt feller or any of that other crap."
Money also came in from Mary Esdaile, age 44, a Miami resident for ten years. As a veteran flight attendant for United Airlines, Esdaile has lived all over the world: Lisbon, Toronto, Mexico City, Denver, Chicago. Other places have pleasant weather, and other cities boast a cosmopolitan population, but no burg holds such an attractive mix of culture and climate as Esdaile's adopted hometown. "No other city is like Miami!" she chirps. "I just was very infuriated to read in the Miami Herald about how the movement to dissolve the city was gaining momentum. Regardless of color, regardless of who you are, if you really love the city, I say put your money where your mouth is."
Esdaile really does love the city, so much so that she volunteers at Miami's satellite city office in Little Haiti. Her affection is apparent in the handwritten note attached to her check: "I want to help 'bail out' the City of Miami. Please accept this donation of $10.00. Good luck! I love Miami!"
Originally Esdaile planned to donate $100, like Banks. But after talking it over with her husband, she scaled back her contribution for fear she would be the only person donating. "So we just sent ten dollars, with the hope that maybe we could get the ball rolling," she explains. "Maybe if someone would mention that a check came in, others would get the hint and start sending in their own checks."
Esdaile envisions people driving around with "I helped save the City of Miami" stickers affixed to their bumpers and wearing "I helped save the City of Miami" T-shirts. She can even see, if the ball does get rolling, a musical benefit. "A lot of people made money from this city: Gloria Estefan, Vanilla Ice, and so on and so on," she explains. "It's a new year. It's a perfect time to get business together with all the local talent and do a Miami Aid concert or something."
Don't rush to Ticketmaster just yet. Enthusiasm for a private-citizens' bailout has not reached critical mass. For instance, not a single city commissioner has received a donation. "A lot of people are very much in favor of doing what they can; at least that's what they say," offers Richard Kuper, aide to Commissioner Willy Gort, "but this office hasn't received any checks as of yet."

Will Pop-Tart Ice Cream Sandwiches be the Next Fast-Food Craze?
Following Taco Bell's Doritos Locos lead, many chains want to partner with other popular brands and food items. The latest is Carl's Jr., which is testing Strawberry Pop-Tart Ice Cream Sandwiches.
According to Foodbeast, a Newport Beach, CA, location of Carl's Jr. is testing the new ice cream sandwich. The treat consists of a scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two strawberry Pop-Tarts. An image of a sign for the product boasts that the dessert is "hand-scooped."
More from Delish: 12 Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
This new menu item is definitely in line with previous Carl's Jr. dessert additions, like the Oreo cookie ice cream sandwich. That dessert was also "hand-scooped" vanilla ice cream, but it came in between two extra-large Oreo cookies.
More from Delish: Ice Cream Quiz
So far there's no word on whether or not this latest creation will make it past the testing phase. Unlike the oversized Oreo ice cream sandwiches, this is definitely something that Pop-Tart fans could make at home without needing to venture to their nearest Carl's Jr. locations.
Would you eat an ice cream sandwich made with strawberry Pop-Tarts? Do you think the new item will become popular?
