Karrueche Tran was a guest on Big Boy's Power 106 radio show on Friday, July 11, and when she was asked about her longterm beau Chris Brown, the model seemed less than enthused.
Karrueche Tran, 26, and Chris Brown, 25, have been seeing each other on and off for four years now, but when the stunning model visited Big Boy's radio show to discuss their relationship, the model sent her longtime love quite the diss!
Karrueche Tran Disses Chris Brown
When Karrueche and her friend, Christina Milian stopped by Big Boy's show, things soon got awkward when Kae was less than thrilled to talk about her longtime love. When questioned about how she and Chris met, the model sent her boy the ultimate diss!
"Yeah, uh…About 4 years ago I was doing a styling job, random styling job and I went and he was there, then he did him, his usual charming talk, from there (sigh) that is where it all began. (Sigh) It's been a long four years!"
Well a lot has certainly happened over the last four years, with Chris's jail time and multiple run-ins with the law, but Karrueche has always seemed to be super supportive of her man, even standing by him during his jail time — until now!
The radio host then dug a little deeper, noticing that there was a ring on Karrueche's finger, to which she responded, "Yeah I know but its not aaaa, NO!"
The host pointed out that she seemed less bubbly than usual to which Karrueche said, "Ummmm, you know, you know. Every relationship has its ups and downs and you know, whatever, lets change the subject."
Wow! Chris must be in the dog house right now.
Chris Brown And Karrueche Fight Over Threesome
As we previously reported, Chris and Kae have been fighting after Chris constantly asked her for threesomes, but on July 11, Chris posted a picture of his lady, while he was busy in the studio working on new music with his ex-nemesis, Drake.
Hopefully this is just a bump in the road, and Chris and Kae two will bounce back!
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Were you shocked by Karrueche's interview? Why do you think she's mad at Chris?

It's something strange about that interview, because when he asked her about the relationship she said we good, well I remember when Matt Laurer asked Chris about him and Rihanna's relationship when word had got out that they had broken up Chris kept saying we good, you can tell by her body language that thing are not the way she want them to be. Why didn't Kae say yes I am still in a relationship with Chris we didn't break up and I don't know where those rumors came from, she is not good on giving interviews.

She may be fed up but she isn't going anywhere even Chris knows that. What man is going to ever treat her right now when she's been all used up by Chris and it's all been publicized? She'll always be known as Chris's doormat, the girl he could walk all over, wipe his feet on and she just took it. Until she demands respect and doesn't allow or participate in threesomes with her man, she will always be looked upon by any man she's with as just an object they can use. She's done it all to herself.

She did good and stopped calling herself a philanthropist. I mean, did she even know what that means? How much money [of her own] did she ever donate to a worthy cause to even earn the status of philanthropist – when she needs someone else's money herself?. She dropped the term for "socialite." That was an insult to donors who give millions selflessly.

@babbs U might be right she could have signed a non-disclosure agreement….. Karrueche is a MESS she chose to put in 4 years and now Chris has taken down her picture again he just got her 2 jobs 1 with Kid Red on Thursday and 1 in Turkey when he goes…… Karrueche couldn't wait to play the victim this is what Chris gets…… Karrueche chose to go to court with Chris and have photo ops and post holiday pics of him even though he was messing with patients/workers…. Notice he wasn't holding her hand on Thursday night and he didn't pose for pics she was holding on to his BACK…..
Posted at 9:27 PM on July 11, 2014
@ Roge 1968 Yes I saw where the picture was missing, I seem it early in the am before I went to work and when I came home and looked it was gone, it's funny how they patched things up and was seem together the day before the radio interview, that's because Chris knew that the interviewer was going to ask about the relationship, Chris picked that YouTube song and probably texts her and told her to listen to it, well she did and ran right back to him, she ain't going to pretend like nothing was wrong because the minute the rumors got out that they were broken up she would have posted a pic.

I'm just tired of her I've been through a lot she choose to go through it….. Stop whining and complaining we know Chris is immature and Rich if she can't handle it move on or shut up…

Google has slashed the price of its Nexus 4 smartphone to $199 unlocked (no contract required) for 8GB version and $249 unlocked (no contract required) for 16GB version.
Nine months ago, Google launched the Nexus 4 to much fanfare at a cool $299. This version came packed with a 1.5GHz quad core processor, a 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 display, 2GB RAM, 8GB internal storage and an 8-megapixel camera while the 16GB version cost $349. Even at $299/$349 the phone was a huge bargain and was sold out within minutes of release.
This price drop now makes this phone an ever better deal. In fact, this is one of the most affordable — if not the most affordable — high-end quad-core Android devices available on the market today. With the quality hardware specs inside this bad boy, a $199 price tag is practically a steal, and you should take advantage of this if you are in the market for a smartphone.
The big downside to the Nexus 4 is the lack of a microSD card slot. This is a problem because the device only comes pre-packed with 8GB or 16GB of internal storage, so unless you don't use a lot of space or have an interest in using Google Drive or some other cloud storage solution such as SkyDrive and Dropbox, the Google Nexus 4 might not be the smartphone you are looking for. Still, though, at $199/$249 unlocked, lacking a microSD card can be overlooked.
It is possible this price drop is a response to Apple's rumored launch of the iPhone 5C next month, or Google might be planning to announce the Nexus 5 sooner rather than later. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter.
You can grab the Nexus 4 from its official Google Play Store page or a retailer near you. Take note availability of the device is limited, not only in quantity but also geographic location.

Is this phone mainly used for no contract providers on a month to month basis? Aren't some people just using it with Google voice and having their landline/VOIP #'s tranferred through Google Voice to the Nexus via Wi-fi and avoiding cellphone costs completely? Is there another way of getting free calls with this?
This has been my daily driver phone since early January, and it has been one beast of a device. I only wish now that I could've somehow saved the $100 ;)

EMC's EMEA president declared disk storage officially dead this week, after the company announced a range of improvements to its flash storage offerings.
One of the announcements was that of XtremIO 3.0, offering a multitude of new features and configurations, ecosystem integrations, and business programmes for EMC XtremIO all-flash arrays. Collectively, EMC believes these will offer more scale, more capabilities, and more support for consolidated, virtualised, and performance-hungry workloads.
Adrian McDonald, president of EMEA, EMC, said: "This was the death knell of disk storage. Tape storage officially died five to eight years ago but there's a very long tail, so there are many customers that don't have any tape and don't backup to tape anymore. They backup to disk and they have technologies that help them overcome any issues of not having tape, but then there are some customers that still have automated tape for a variety of reasons."
Disk sales, two years ago, were at their peak, according to McDonald. "Then these sales figures dropped," he said. "A year ago they dropped again and I would suggest they'll drop further this year."
McDonald predicts that the 'long tail' will see tape storage stagger on until 2020, while disk will be lucky to make it to 2025-2030.
"We're moving very quickly to flash," he explained. "Most of my customers either want flash for their top tier of performance or they want it fully integrated with instantaneous response. And some customers now say they want all flash - no flash, no disk - depending on their needs. And the costs are coming down incredibly quickly. Today we can put 0.6PB in a standard rack and that will be multiple PB very soon.
"We'll still sell a lot of disks and they'll be bigger in capacity than before but, economically, it doesn't make sense."

Title: | Discussion Group Report: Campaign Finance |
Author: | Governor's Task Force on Ethics Reform; Brix, Matt; Winter, Brad; Montgomery, Andrew |
Subject: | Campaign Finance Reform Governmental Ethics Political Reform New Mexico State Ethics Commissions Laws Freedom of Speech |
Abstract: | "Campaign finance" laws cover the manner in which money is raised, spent and reported by candidate committees, political action committees, political parties and independent expenditure groups. This report will examine existing laws in New Mexico, potential problem areas in those laws and options for amending current laws. The real or perceived influence of money on the political process creates an inevitable tension between the right to free speech on the one hand, and the established norm of one person, one vote on the other. Existing laws governing campaign finance in New Mexico focus on reporting requirements, limits on campaign spending, and public campaign funding (for Public Regulation Commission races). With the exception of the Voter Action Act, which provides public campaign funding for Public Regulation Commission races, existing laws discussed in this report are drawn from the various sections of the Campaign Disclosure Act. In accordance with the Task Force matrix, each of the following issue areas will be addressed separately: campaign spending, campaign donations, campaign reporting, public campaign funding and third-party expenditures/out-of-state funding. |

Weights from Germany; Marco Huck 199.5 - Vitaliy Rusal 191.5 l Alexander Abraham 154 vs Magomed Abdurakhmanov 154 l Yoan Pablo Hernandez 199.5 vs Aaron Williams 197 European cruiserweight champion Marco Captain Huck has promised his fans to deliver another spectacular KO on Saturday night when he faces unbeaten Vitaliy Rusal. The 24-year-old (24-1, 19KO´s) has no doubts he will leave the ring victorious - even though his Ukrainian opponent (23-0, 16 KOs) has never tasted defeat before. I will destroy him, Huck predicted at today´s press conference. He has a perfect record, which speaks for itself. He has never lost but that will change on Saturday. I will hand him the first defeat of his career. He cannot stop me.. Huck admitted he would have preferred to fight former world champion Firat Arslan, who pulled out of the clash. Of course it would have been nice to fight Arslan, but boxing-wise, I think Rusal is the even better man, he said. However, he will not leave Bamberg with the title. I don´t care who my opponent is I will beat everyone.

Wigan have revealed that young forward Lee Mossop will miss the rest of the season after suffering the recurrence of a shoulder injury.
Mossop, who has made 18 appearances for the Super League leaders in 2010, was injured playing for the club's under-20 side against Bradford at the weekend. He is to undergo surgery on Wednesday.
"Lee has been extremely unfortunate," said Warriors coach Michael Maguire.
"We all hoped he would be okay to see the season out but that is not the case. It is so unlucky for him, but he is a strong character and he will be fully fit for the pre-season."

Those changes include a rapidly eroding broadcast television audience base in the face of an explosion of competition from other entertainment, most notably the vast diversions of the Internet. This feeds an industry-wide scramble to find new revenue streams as TiVo and other digital video recorders render the 30-second ad spot less effective. These strategies are "much more a reaction to what digital is enabling than some creative choice we're making," says Ben Silverman, co-chair of NBC.
What this all means for the average viewer scrolling through the fall debuts is a blitz of enticements to resample freshman shows from the past season, such as "Pushing Daisies," "Life, " "Dirty Sexy Money," and "Lipstick Jungle."
Returning tent pole shows such as "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" will arrive with the fanfare of a feature film première. "We're going to make Sunday night and "Desperate Housewives" a priority launch for the fall," says Mr. McPherson, "which would not be a regular thing if we had a lot of new shows and a lot of priorities."
Many of the new dramas combine successful elements from established franchises. The dramas such as "The Mentalist," "Fringe," "The Eleventh Hour," "My Own Worst Enemy," and "Life on Mars" feature supernatural or paranormal elements combined with procedural story lines to make each episode more self-contained. These tap the same techniques on display all over the existing prime-time schedule, from "Heroes" to "Lost" and any number of crime procedurals such as the "CSI" and "Law & Order" franchises.

Denny Medley/US PresswireIn his first season in Denver, Peyton Manning has thrown for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns.
Peyton Manning's 11-week run atop the MVP Watch list wasn't going to end after the Denver Broncos quarterback closed the season with 304 yards and three touchdowns during a 38-3 victory.
Manning completed 79.3 percent of his passes while finishing with his highest single-game Total QBR score (98.7) in the five-year history of the quarterbacking metric.
And if recent history holds, Manning will emerge as a five-time MVP when the Associated Press reveals the winner one day before the Super Bowl. The four previous season leaders in Total QBR became MVPs, including Manning twice.
Ballots are due Thursday. I am not among the voters.
Manning stands as a clear MVP choice, in my view, based on how his play has affected the Broncos' chances for winning.
Quarterbacks are more important to game outcomes than players at other positions. Passing trumps running in the NFL. What stands as a horrible game for a QB -- say, 110 yards on 20 attempts -- would qualify as a top-flight effort for a runner.
Minnesota's Adrian Peterson would get my vote as the top offensive player or as the most impressive player after topping 2,000 yards rushing for a playoff team. No player in the NFL was more compelling to watch this season, at least from this angle.
But there is a reason QBs keep winning the award. They're more valuable.
Playing the NFL's fourth-easiest schedule certainly helped Manning this season. That might have come into play if the Broncos struggled to pull out victories this season. Instead, they won each of their final 11 games by at least seven points. They earned a first-round playoff bye, meaning they've already gotten as far in the playoffs as the 8-8 Broncos advanced last season.

Lots of scriptures in the Old Testament justify killing.
However, I would prefer to quote Gandhi, as he did not scourge any money changers.
I want both the Hindus and Mussalmans to cultivate the cool courage to die without killing. But if one has not that courage, I want him to cultivate the art of killing and being killed rather than, in a cowardly manner, flee from danger. For the latter, in spite of his flight, does commit mental himsa. He flees because he has not the courage to be killed in the act of killing.
My method of nonviolence can never lead toloss of strength, but it alone will make it possible, if the nation wills it, to offer disciplined and concerted violence in time of danger.
My creed of nonviolence is an extremely active force. It has no room for cowardice or even weakness. There is hope for a violent man to be some day non-violent, but there is none for a coward. I have, therefore, said more than once....that, if we do not know how to defend ourselves, our women and our places of worship by the force of suffering, i.e., nonviolence, we must, if we are men, be at least able to defend all these by fighting.
No matter how weak a person is in body, if it is a shame to flee, he will stand his ground and die at his post. This would be nonviolence and bravery. No matter how weak he is, he will use what strength he has in inflicting injury on his opponent, and die in the attempt. This is bravery, but not nonviolence. If, when his duty is to face danger, he flees, it is cowardice. In the first case, the man will have love or charity in him. In the second and third cases, there would be a dislike or distrust and fear.
My nonviolence does admit of people, who cannot or will not be nonviolent, holding and making effective use of arms. Let me repeat for the thousandth time that nonviolence is of the strongest, not of the weak.
To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.

Technical Support Services (TSS) protests the award of a contract to Quantell, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00421-05-R-0114, issued by the Department of the Navy as a total small business set-aside for administrative and training services. TSS maintains that it is entitled to the award because, although the Small Business Administration (SBA) initially determined that TSS was other than small and thus ineligible for award, SBA's Office of Hearings and Appeal (OHA) reversed that determination. TSS concludes that the Navy, therefore, should be required to terminate Quantell's contract and make award to TSS.
We deny the protest.

What Do You Think?
I love the bones of this space, and relish the thought of actually having a bedroom with such a dramatic 'headboard' such as the one shown here. I do think though that this arch isn't being used in the best manner – there's so much more that could be done to really enhance it. Add wallpaper or stencils or decals perhaps, or install impressive lighting, or simply add paint. What would you do to give this arch the respect and attention that it deserves? Or do you prefer it 'as is'?

January 3rd, 2007 at 3:06pmHi Holly!
First of all: i wish a very happy and healthy new year to you and your family.Concerning this wonderful arch, i would change the color to emphasize on it. I guess, to stay in the yellow shades as on the picture, i'll paint it in some dark yellow or orange. This would make it cosier, too.
kiminottawa commented

erinn commented
January 3rd, 2007 at 3:49pmDefinitely a different color within the arch would make it stand out more. Also, breaking the line of the pictures around the room inside the arch would make it much less mundane. I would love to see a large and maybe more colorful painting hung there, so the arch and the painting become the headboard.
Erin T commented
January 3rd, 2007 at 4:33pmI love the floor and the arch! I agree with the other posters though – I would like to see the inside of the arch painted a different shade or one larger more dramatic focal point than the four different size pictures. There are so many neat things you could do with that space.
If it were my room, I would paint the walls a soft warm grey with the inside of the arch slightly darker than the rest of the room. I would get some graphic bedding in cream/charcoal like the Dwelledition Talon duvet, install wall-mounted swinging arm sconces on either side of the bed and get some quilted silk shams in a bold accent color. Then I'd put some fabulous light fixture in the center of the room and maybe add a Poul Kjaerholm-style Springing chair.
Then I'd crawl into the bed with a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies… -
pinkmohair commented
January 3rd, 2007 at 6:29pmAstroturf. Definitely, astroturf the inside of the arch. It's the poor girl's gold leaf. Otherwise, I agree with what the others said. Those pictures really diminish the arch's drama.
Think molding mounted in a lattice pattern in the arch and painted a contrasting color would be outside the box, as well. And trellis stuff is so now.
Anonymous commented
January 3rd, 2007 at 8:51pmI think in order to use the arch's full potential you must first start with the bed. The current bed is much too low and really not wide enough for the arch either. Start with a larger bed…lose the pictures, paint the wall in a contrasting color…maybe the tan color on the bed?
Or I remember a long time ago you featured some really really cool wallpaper that looked like tree branches coming down from the ceiling…That would be perfect…it would look like a window to your dreams.
AbbeyK commented
January 3rd, 2007 at 9:52pmNo change needed. Less is more. I really like it.
Looks like the line of art continues around the room. The arch makes a nice relief from the horizontal line created with the art.
I think it works. It's understated and edited and with the parquet floor, it might be too much going on with a paint color behind the arch AND with the art work all lined up.
Then the room becomes something else. A completely different aesthetic.I like the low bed with the high ceiling. If it's France my guess is it might have floor to ceiling French doors opening on the other wall.
Well what's so interesting. Everyone has different taste!
yuka commented
January 4th, 2007 at 1:18amvery cute room as is, but i agree- they arent utilizing the 'headboard' as well as they could be. editing out the pictures and creating more of a focal point with contrasting color and only one pic, hanging lamp etc. would pull the whole room together. right now its "nice" but it could be 'wow"
Blandwagon commented
January 4th, 2007 at 3:07amYou're right – the architecture is great but the decor is wrong.
I say the arch is feature enough for the room; to slather it in stencils or wallpaper would overpower it. The most I'd do to it was a paint it a slightly lighter shade to the rest of the walls, and install some subtle lighting to accentuate its curves at night.
The bedside tables are too large and cluttered for the space, and there are too many pictures in a straight line. The pictures should be clustered (even within the confines of the arch, possibly) and the tables replaced with something more discreet, like a couple of simple shelves.
Here endeth the lession :)
Anonymous commented
January 4th, 2007 at 3:13amI think they should put a very graphic wallpaper, nature inspired…trees w/birds, black and white… and a circular, starburst mirror near the top center. Get rid of the framed art in the arch. Get a bigger bed that goes from one edge of the arch to the other…that would require smaller side tables…get taller, more substantial lamps
Melanie commented
January 4th, 2007 at 4:36pmOh the wonderful things you could do with color, paint and pattern in that room! I fell in love with the reacreation of Jeanne Lanvin's 1920's Paris apartment at the newly reopened Musee des arts decoratifs at the Louvre. It has been featured in quite a few magazines and I posted it also at http://www.artoflivingonline.com. It has similar arches and moldings, but this floor is WAY better. Her decorative dado treatment was done with embroidered fabric, but I would definitely do it with a stencil.
Judging from the comments above this room and its architectural features would be a great starting point for many different tastes and decorating styles :)
Vajra commented
January 5th, 2007 at 6:08pmYikes! Blogger lost my comment. I'll try to remember.
Puhleeze! No wallpaper or other wall graphics. I would paint the alcove a contrasting color perhaps a dark cocoa or caf? au lait. I would lose the pictures. In fact, I would rehang all the art: I don't think that having the bottom edges of the paintings level works. First I would create a headboard. Perhpas a Vern Yip hanging pillows headboard or just two large Euro squares in a deeper shade of chartreuse than the pillow on the right. The small chests are just a shade too large for the space they are in and the chair, which I love, is just sitting there. Why? What is it used for?

You got a point there Dino, this conversation should be about;
'How do we solve our mental illness problem?'

@Kris Feenstra
What exactly happens in Canada if I confront an intruder while I'm holding a gun and he produces a very nasty knife or Taserl and proceeds to use it? Do I need to drop my gun and kick him in the nuts?
You do not need to drop your gun. You merely need to accept the consequences of your actions which may or may not be a criminal charge (even if you killed the intruder) depending on whether you only took the steps necessary to defend yourself (not your property), or if you went beyond that and applied unreasonable force or acted as executioner.
Unfortunately, one can shoot someone and not know if one is killing him. One may even hope one is not killing him and yet it might turn out that way. For example, a well-intended shot to the leg that ruptures the femoral artery can kill someone in less than a minute.
So, I guess the best thing to do might be to close your eyes and hope you don't get killed.
'So, I guess the best thing to do might be to close your eyes and hope you don't get killed."
No, the law accounts for that, but really, the best thing to do is to man the fuck up, have a little conviction, and accept the consequences of your actions. It's a bad situation, sure, but it wasn't caused by the government and the government has no cause to give carte blanche to me being a trigger happy coward every time someone threatening causes me to piss my pants.
There are at least seven sections in Canadian law which cannot be summarized neatly, but here are the two most relevant regarding your concerns:
34. (1) Every one who is unlawfully assaulted without having provoked the assault is justified in repelling force by force if the force he uses is not intended to cause death or grievous bodily harm and is no more than is necessary to enable him to defend himself.
(2) Every one who is unlawfully assaulted and who causes death or grievous bodily harm in repelling the assault is justified if
(a) he causes it under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence with which the assault was originally made or with which the assailant pursues his purposes; and
(b) he believes, on reasonable grounds, that he cannot otherwise preserve himself from death or grievous bodily harm.
41. (2) A trespasser who resists an attempt by a person who is in peaceable possession of a dwelling-house or real property, or a person lawfully assisting him or acting under his authority to prevent his entry or to remove him, shall be deemed to commit an assault without justification or provocation.

Competition is the ideal, but an audit shows that DOD often sidesteps the process. (Stock image)
The Defense Department held fewer competitions for contracts in fiscal 2012 than in 2008, declining in total by 5.5 percent during the four-year span, according to a report released March 28. The majority of the non-competitive contract awards were tagged as having only a single company able to do the work, justifying a sole-source award.
In fiscal 2012, DOD obligated $359 billion through contracts and task orders, of which $205.3 billion, or 57 percent, went to competitive awards. In 2008, DOD obligated 62.6 percent of its money through the competitive process, the Government Accountability Office found in its analysis of spending data.
The 2012 competition rate varied widely across the services.. The Air Force had the lowest competition rate at 37.1 percent. The Defense Logistics Agency had the highest rate at 83.3 percent.
Defense officials have several factors that affect their attempts to reach competition goals. The department may rely too much on an original equipment manufacturer; GAO concluded that this has been a long-standing challenge for officials. The rate also is affected when DOD buys on behalf of a foreign government.
GAO wrote that DOD does not consider such factors as it sets annual competition goals. Instead, it adds two percentage points to what it did the prior year.
Reasons given to justify sole-source contracts. (GAO graphic)
"Without identifying and tracking the specific factors affecting competition DOD cannot set meaningful goals for improving competition or accurately gauge its progress toward achieving them," GAO wrote.
In response to GAO, Richard Ginman, director of procurement and acquisition policy at DOD, wrote that he would consider such factors when setting future goals.
GAO had another issue with DOD, as it faces a high number of competitions where only a single company could responsibly handle the work: the Pentagon's procurement workforce does not keep reliable records. GAO recommended defense officials push the military branches to collect reliable data these types of contracts.
In 2010, under DOD's Better Buying Power initiative, officials considered any solicitation in which DOD received just one bid an "ineffective competition." A contracting officer would have to revamp the requirements and put the work out for bid for another month.
That policy remains in place, but the data are not there. The poor data-collection prevents officials from determining if the policy, in fact, works.
With better records, "the department could better determine the effects of its new requirement on one-offer contracts," GAO wrote. "The impact of the requirement is unknown because of unreliable data."
In an analysis of 35 one-offer awards, GAO's auditors found contracting officers had incorrectly coded 10 of the awards in the procurement database that DOD relies on to measure the impact of its new requirement. But six of the 10 awards were noncompetitive awards, and the remaining four had received multiple offers.
"As a result, GAO determined that DOD's data cannot be used to accurately calculate the amount obligated on one-offer awards during fiscal year 2012," GAO wrote.
Ginman assured auditors he would review training policies and then update guidance to improve the quality of the information entered into the Federal Procurement Data System. In addition, he wrote, officials would raise the issue at competition advocates' meetings in the future.

Facebook Worth the Risk Under $25
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook (FB - Get Report) got a bad wrap after its notorious debut. The company hit a high of $45 a share shortly after going public and it was all down hill from there -- but that was May last year. Today, the stock is trading around $25.74 and analysts give the company a mean one-year target estimate of $33.44, according to Yahoo! Finance.
Now that would be a fair return -- almost 30% -- if it makes the mark.
While there are plenty of reasons to doubt whether Facebook has what it takes to recover some of the ground it has lost, I think the company is worth the investment, if you can buy in under its 200-day moving average of $25.20 a share, that is, and are willing to hold the position at least one year.
Critics may point out that the stock is down considerably from its IPO last summer, but I say, since when is an investment determined by its old share price? I just want to know if I can make money off of it now. And, that is exactly the case with Facebook.
Moreover, while so many nay-sayers have been focusing on Facebook's post-IPO fall from grace, the company has been making some big changes. First and foremost, Facebook has some major opportunities, simply because of the volume of data it collects on its billion plus users. Google (GOOG) may be able to make estimates about your demographics, based on what you search for. (See what Google says your demographics are here.) However, it isn't always accurate. Mine says I am a white male over 50 who speaks Japanese, but I am a woman in my 30's who speaks high school French and is learning Spanish -- more than a little off. Facebook, however, knows how old I am, knows I am a woman and knows which languages I speak. It remembers my birthday. And, what I don't specifically tell Facebook, it wouldn't be that difficult to infer.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Variety of compatibility tests
Discover how well you and your partner match up using different esoteric systems.
MB Love Test Finished is a free suite of different resources that use various esoteric systems (Numerology, Kundali, etc.) to test the compatibility of two partners. All of them function in essentially the same way: users input their personal data and get back a variety of reports.
A number of issues plague what is potentially a fun tool. A few of the reports were overly simplistic, and some of the predictors won't work unless your region is set as the U.S. Some spelling errors and an overall rudimentary interface give the whole program a somewhat amateurish feel. However, the zodiac reports were thorough, and the Kundali section was especially impressive. We particularly liked finding out if our potential partners were considered "Barren" or "Fruitful." It can be annoying to have to enter detailed information about things like the exact latitude of the place you were born, and the program could be easily improved by requesting that kind of thing only once, instead of making you go through the same process for each different report.
Unfortunately, the program installs desktop icons without permission, and after uninstalling, it leaves a folder in the Program Files. Also, there are way too many plugs for donations and registration. Some users might miss a little more in the way of explanation, but there's enough here to appeal to most people who are interested in seeing what various esoteric systems predict for their love life.

Milan Jovanovic deal not done as Rafa Benitez waits on Jamie Carragher injury
RAFA BENITEZ insists a deal for Standard Liege striker Milan Jovanovic is still not complete as the Liverpool boss faces an anxious wait over the fitness of Jamie Carragher. The 28-year-old Serbia international has told Belgian newspaper Sporza he will be making the switch to Anfield on a free transfer this summer but Benitez says there is still work to be done before the switch is finalised. Benitez said: 'There have been lots of rumours but we will only say something if we finalise things. At this moment we are just talking with people and working.' Jovanovic has claimed the deal is already done, saying: 'We have reached an agreement for three years, with the option to extend for another season. I have yet to undergo a medical exam, but that shouldn't be a problem. 'I opted to sign for Liverpool because they're one of the biggest teams in Europe. I'm absolutely delighted.' Carragher limped off with a groin injury early in the second half at the Emirates last night and he was sorely missed as Abou Diaby headed home the only goal of the game. 'Carra has a problem with his adductor,' Benitez revealed. 'It's not serious, but we will have to see. He couldn't play on and we will see in the next few days how he feels.' The defeat ended the Reds' seven-game unbeaten league run and dented their hopes of a top four finish. They remain in fourth place but are level on points with Manchester City who now have two games in hand.

Broomes returns for Hatters visit
Broomes was sent off during the 5-0 thumping at Millwall and subsequently missed the midweek defeat at Bury in the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy through suspension. The experienced centre-back is now available again after serving a one-match ban and could earn an immediate recall at the expense of youngster Ash Taylor. Caretaker boss Les Parry, placed in charge following the sacking of boss John Barnes and assistant Jason McAteer on Friday, will contemplate making further changes as he bids to find a winning formula. After losing heavily at Millwall, Barnes made six changes to his starting line-up against Bury and a similar amount cannot be ruled out, but striker Bas Savage (Achilles) remains a long-term absentee.

The Civil Services of India (or for that matter of any nation), is the backbone of the administrative system of the country simply because it comprises of government officials who are employed in civil occupations that are neither political nor judicial. The responsibility of the civil servants is to run and manage the administration of India effectively and efficiently. The administration of a vast and diverse country like India requires efficient management of its natural, economic and human resources. In the system of parliamentary democracy of India, the ultimate responsibility for running the administration rests with the elected representatives of the people but this handful of representatives i.e. the ministers cannot be expected to deal and handle the manifold problems of modern administration. Thus the ministers lay down the policy and it is for the civil servants to implement and carry out this policy effectively. This is why Indian Civil Service is also known as the 'Administrative Organ of the Government'.
Indian Civil Services Origin and History
Indian Civil Service, called the Imperial Civil Service during the British Raj, was first brought into existence in India by Lord Cornwallis (the Governor-General of India, 1786-93) and he first organised the civil services during his tenure. In 1800, Fort William College was set up by Lord Wellesley for training of new recruits and later in 1806, East India College was set up at Hailey Bury in England for imparting two years training to the recruits. Further an open competition for recruitment was introduced with the Charter Act of 1853.
Although the Charter Act of 1853 theoretically threw open the civil services to the Indians, but the Indians were barred from high posts from the very beginning. During the British Raj, the Indians were mostly kept out of law and policy-making bodies. Moreover, the recruitment examination also used to be conducted in England only and that too only in English and the subjects included the Greek and Latin languages, which made the things worse for the Indians. Although the Indians had started making it to the coveted ranks of the Indian Civil Services ever since Satyendra Nath Tagore became the first Indian to do so in 1863, entering the Civil Services was still an extremely difficult task for the Indians.
Though the Government of India Act of 1935 recommended the establishment of a Federal Public Service Commission and Provincial Public Service Commission under their spheres but still the position of control and authority remained in British hands till the Britishers were forced out of India in August 1947.
Definition of a Civil Servant
A civil servant is any person who is a citizen of India appointed by the Union or the State Government to any civil service or post in connection with the affairs of the Union or the state and includes a civilian in a Defence Service. The members of civil service serve at the pleasure of the President of India and are well shielded from politically motivated interests or vindictive action by Article 311 of our constitution. Civil servants are employees of the Government of India; however, not all employees of the Government are civil servants.
The civil servants include:
All appointments in the rank of Joint Secretary to Government of India and above, and other major appointments are done by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet. However, all appointments in the rank below Joint Secretary are done by the Civil Services Board.
Head of the Civil Service
The highest ranking civil servant is the Chief of the Cabinet Secretariat of Republic of India who is also the Cabinet Secretary. He is ex-officio Chairman of the Civil Services Board; the chief of the Indian Administrative Service and also the head of all other civil services under the Government. He also holds the 11th position in the Order of Precedence of India.
Indian Civil Service Examination
Indian Civil Service Examination is commonly known as UPSC examination. ICS examination is sometimes referred to as IAS examination which is conducted specially for one of the branches of Indian Civil Service known as Indian Administrative Service or IAS. Civil Servants are not only recruited through open competitive examination, but certain officials from the state governments are also being promoted. This examination is used to recruit and train candidates for various official positions available in various departments of the government office.
Click on the link for detailed information - Indian Civil Service Exam
Recruitment and Training
The recruitment examination for Indian Civil Services is of course one of the rigorous examinations across the world. The changing trends in the society as well as the economy makes it imperative to stress more on technological knowledge and in areas such as human rights. There is also very little stress on testing managerial skills in the examination. The changes in our economy also create a need for specialists at various jobs. With rapidly advancing technology and high degrees of specialisation in every field, the country can no longer afford to put generalists in positions requiring specialised skills. The entry and exit of civil servants from public service to private sector and vice versa, will make the civil services jobs more attractive, thus making it a new economy job.
So, in order to bring in more suitable candidates, changes in the entry level exams of All India services conducted by UPSC were introduced in year 2011 by UPSC in Preliminary Stage Exams. The UPSC is also considering changing the exam pattern for Mains stage exam, by 2014.
The whole idea of All India Civil Services gets lost when other state officers are promoted to civil services and work in the state itself. This is indeed a retrograde step. It should be made mandatory for the officers who are promoted to civil service to serve in other states to keep the idea of creating All India Civil Service working. A paradigm shift in the nature of civil service/servants is required to cope up with the emerging demands and the changes in society and economy.
The training offered for civil service recruits is one of the most comprehensive training systems. The gaps where the training facilities are not in tune with the new trends have to identified from time to time, so that training can be provided right at the induction level.
State Civil Services (SCS/PCS)
The State Civil Services (also known as Provincial Civil Services) examinations are conducted by the individual states of India. The officers of the state civil services are recruited by different States through the State Public Service Commissions.
The categories of services under the state civil services (SCS) examination are as under:
Click on the link for detailed information - SSC Exams
Organisation and Classification
The Civil Services of India are classified into two categories namely:
All India Services |
Central Civil Services |
All India Services include: Indian Administrative Service (IAS) |
Central Civil Services include: Group A |
All appointments to All India Civil Services are made by the President of India. The constitution provides for more Civil Services branches to be set up by giving the power to the Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Parliament of India) to resolve by a two-thirds majority to establish new all-India services or central services. The Indian Forest Service and the Indian Foreign Service are the two services set up under this constitutional provision. As of January 2013, the Central Government is considering a proposal on creation of two new All-India services namely the Indian Judicial Service and the Indian Legal Service. |
All appointments to Group A are also made by the President of India. All appointments to Group B are made by the authorities specified by a general or special order of the President. |
