One of the most attractive features of a degree in economics is the flexibility it offers. Economists are in demand by employers in almost every field - from health care to technology, from sports to politics, and almost everywhere in between. In 2013, economics majors were ranked in the top ten of the most in demand majors by employers, according to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Economics majors have one of the lowest unemployment rates and one of the highest starting salaries of all college majors. In addition, Economics majors ran 15 on the 2013 Majors that Pay You Back scale - the highest of any business degree - with an average mid-career salary of $94,000.
The UW-L College of Business Administration (CBA) holds accreditation at both undergraduate and graduate levels from AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

Newly seeded lawn, HELP!!!
This past spring I seeded the last 1/2 acre of my lawn and it really took, as I was able to keep it wet for a couple weeks. (My wife works from home).
I used an all purpose 3 way mix containing KB, rye, and some sort of fescue.
I'm not sure I like the very course blades that dominated the mix. Would this be the KB or one of the others? Or is it crab grass? See the pic below.
Also why so much dead leaves among the healthy ones?
Usually there is crabgrass in a spring-seeded lawn, but you managed to keep it out.
Where do you live?
Can you get the Guaranteed analysis from the bag of grass seed. That will likely give us a clue as to what the coarse bladed grass is.
Dead grass in a spring seeded lawn is par for the course. It is possible the grass is not dead but only dormant. Again, need to know where you live and what was in the bag.
Thanks for the response, I live in Canada 70 miles north of Grand Forks ND. (Zone 3)
I will check with the company I purchased it from tomorrow and post the GA
then. Should I rake the lawn or just leave it just in case the brown stuff is just dormant?
Two turf grasses and a forage grass. That's weird. Did they mention the varieties of the grasses? Like they might have said, "Chewing's red fescue" or something like that. If they don't mention the varietal name, and if they quote percentages that happen to be rounded off to the nearest 20 and add perfectly to 100%, then I get suspicious. It should mention varietal names and the percentage should be out into 3 decimal places. They should list 0.023% weed and 0.402% Other Crop, for example. Or they might have 0.00% weed and other crop. It happens. But some weed seeds are very light weight and can fill your lawn with a mess before you know it.
Anyway I can't find a picture of the rye forage grass, but they all call it an aggressive growth type of grass. Being an annual grass, it will not persist through the winter. It may come back next spring from seed. Both of the other two grasses should form an amazingly dense turf that fights off weeds, though. Keep it mowed at 3-4 inches (I lean to 4). The additional shade from the tall grass helps fight off weed seed germination. Most importantly be sure you allow the soil to dry out at the surface before you water.
The dead grass among the healthy is likely to be KBG that has gone dormant. It will come back. KBG turns brown in winter and it can turn brown in summer when it gets too hot or is not watered deeply once a week. It might be possible the dead grass is the annual rye which is actually dying.
Eventually this should be a great looking lawn. I like both the KBG and the creeping red fescue.
No need to aerate...ever...unless you feel a need to make some guy's boat payment for him. Aerating is a lot of work and does not accomplish what most people do it for. If you have hard soil and want to soften it, search this forum for my thoughts on using shampoo to soften the soil.
For the seed, read the bag/box for directions. Some seeds are coated and the poundage (kilogramage??) per square area is different for those.
My plan is to overseed in the middle of Oct. then maybe toss a 1/4" of topsoil mixed with peat moss on top to help keep the seed moist in the spring. Can I spray with shampoo now? Or will it effect the germination of the seed in the spring in any way?

Reminder: Plant Milkweed for the endangered Monarch
This year represents the smallest population ever for the beautiful Monarch Butterfly. Habitat loss and pesticides have caused their populations to dwindle from the hundreds of millions to less than a few hundred thousand this year. The biggest problem is the loss of milkweed, which is the only plant the larvae feed on.
In addition for those Monarchs passing through - plant butterfly bush, lilac, crown flower, bee balm, cone flower, phlox, black eyed Susan, viburnums.
Here is a link that might be useful: more about monarchs click here
I think there is more milkweed around than you think. There is a weedy vine that is all over Joplin in the alleys. I have it and encourage it because the small flowers smell nice. It is an invasive weed and hard to keep out of waste spaces.
Here is a link that might be useful: honeyvine milkweed
Nice Mosswitch!
Helen, it may seem that way, but you need to look at the overall picture. The Monarchs have lost over 60% of their habitat to farming, which spray the important milkweed with chemicals to kill it. When you take the entire US that's huge and it's why Monarchs have went from hundreds of millions to maybe 30 million today, which is probably not sustainable. Everything is. weed, it's how you perceive it. Monarchs perceive it as food, I like Monarchs, grew up with them, want my kids to grow up with them, so it's not a weed, no more than your front lawn and Fescue which is a huge invasive weed, except in Missouri. The little patches of milkweed that we create in butterfly gardens might help just enough, what would be even better and help. great deal is if you call your state representative or Senator and tell them to leave the areas along highways uncut or unmowed during Monarch season and to plant milkweed there, this would help a lot.
What I am saying is that I allow this vining milkweed because it has a lovely smell even though it has weedy habits. Others may already have climbing milkweed and not know it. Anyone growing the honey vine needs to know it may pop up where they don't want it. Compared to my other invasive vines, it is not a problem. My friend however has a privet hedge and it is a pain pulling it out of that. I have the pink milkweed coming up all over the place. I allow it to spread. It is nice to have a plant that doesn't have to be watered or cared for.
It IS possible to transplant butterfly weed from the wild into a garden but difficult to dig the very, very deep taproot.
In some areas, you cannot transplant anything growing along a roadway so check the law in your state.
Here in the West Plains/Pomona area, butterfly weed grows in fields and most cattle ranchers are glad to see it gone. The conservation department office in West Plains uses butterfly weed as a landscaping feature and it sure is pretty.
The ordinary pink milkweed has a pleasant smell not honeysuckle quality but nice. I would like to have the purple; did you order it from a wild flower nursery? If I am not mistaken the milkweed that is not supposed to be hardy lived through the winter here.
I grew the purple milkweed from seed I ordered from a wild flower nursery, don't remember which one. I had four seedlings but only one lived to the end of summer. I looked at it today to see if it looked like it might set seed but nope. I need to dig though my seed box and see if there were any left overs from last year.
I'm very surprised if your tropical milkweed made it through the winter since it was so cold this year. It's the prettiest I think and seems to be the Monarchs' favorite. There are some strains that are a little more hardy than others so if yours acted like a perennial, remember me if you're able to collect seeds this summer. : )

"These ended up being much smaller than i thought but maybe i didnt read the description well enough...super cute though!! I bought these as thank you notes for my son to give, i am obsessed with little boys & mustaches so they are a perfect design! :)"
"The one problem with this item is that there isn't a cream colored envelope to match the card. White doesn't go with the cream card stock. I ended up ordering gold to try to match the name printed on the card, ok but not a perfect match."
"Perfect for baby boy's shower thank you cards - very please with the whole process. Very easy to customize and fast shipment!"
"I ordered these cards as a gift for my friend when her baby boy was born. I figured he would get lots of baby stuff and this would be something that could really be used. It was a HIT!!"
"Such an adorable unique design! I have not used them yet but the quality is perfect for the promo price I paid. I love the touch of personalization of the baby's name. I do wish there were envelope lining options to go with it. My only concern is there may not be enough room to write a lot but I will just have to keep my thank you's short and sweet!"

HP changes their mind, will keep PC unit
HP have just announced that they are 'reversing course' and will now not sell off their PC unit. HP announced in August that they would spin off the business, but with CEO Lep Apotheker now on the outside, and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman directing the HP ship, they've reevaluated their plans. Quoting Whitman here:
HP objectively evaluated the strategic, financial and operational impact of spinning off PSG [Personal Systems Group]. It's clear after our analysis that keeping PSG within HP is right for customers and partners, right for shareholders, and right for employees. HP is committed to PSG, and together we are stronger.
According to The Wall Street Journal, HP's initial estimate of a $300-400 million cost to spin off the PC unit proved to be far too low, further studies actually put the cost closer to $1.5 billion. On top of that, a strategic review determined the level of integration across HP's business was deep enough that contributions from the PC unit would actually be missed. HP ultimately decided to keep the business in-house.
LSI Corporation acquires SandForce for a cool $322 million
LSI Corporation have just announced that they have signed a definitive agreement to acquire SandForce Inc for approximately $322 million in cash, net of cash assumed, and assume approximately $48 million of unvested stock options and restricted shares held by SandForce employees. SandForce is a leading provider of flash storage processors for enterprise and client flash solutions and solid state drives (SSDs).
SandForce controllers power most of the SSDs we all know and love, and the acquisition greatly enhances LSI's competitive position in the fast-growing server and storage PCIe flash adapter market, where the WarpDrive family of products from LSI are already SandForce-powered.
Abhi Talwalkar, LSI president and chief executive officer has a few things to say:
Flash-based solutions are critical for accelerating application performance in servers, storage and client devices. Adding SandForce's technology to LSI's broad storage portfolio is consistent with our mission to accelerate storage and networking. The acquisition represents a significant, rapidly growing market opportunity for LSI over the next several years.

Apple block the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, again
Sigh. Apple have won their injunction and have halted the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, with Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett delivering her verdict just a little while ago now. Bennett's said it was "appropriate" to grant a temporary injunction. This isn't the end, however. The case was reportedly "evenly weighed", but still ruled in Apple's favor.
This is partly because Samsung weren't willing to present itself for an early final hearing in November. Both parties are set to have statements released, and are both expected back in court tomorrow for a directions hearing that will determine where the case goes from here. Samsung's statement is below (or in the full news post):

Steve Jobs has passed away
The great Steve Jobs has passed away after a long struggle with pancreatic cancer. He was just 56 years old. We at TweakTown dearly mourn his death and would like to offer our condolences to the Jobs family. Jobs was an amazing man, Apple is where they are because of him. Music is where it is because of him. Most technology firms are pushing so much further because of the things Steve did.
Steve pushed and pushed and put a computer into every single dorm room, bedroom and living room. Something Microsoft couldn't wish for - they just wanted it in your office. Years later, he put an Apple product in every bag, pocket and hand thanks to the iPad, iPhone and iPod.
He was a great man, a turtle-neck-wearing technological hero, an inspiration, a visionary. You'll be missed, Steve.
Samsung to block iPhone 4S sales in France, Italy, lay the smackdown on Apple's big day
Samsung Electronics have just announced they will file separate preliminary injunction motions against Paris, France and Milano, Italy on October 5 local time requesting the courts block the sale of Apple's iPhone 4S in the respective markets. Samsung's requests in France and Italy will each cite two patent infringements related to wireless telecommunications technology, specifically Wireband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) standards for 3G mobile handsets.
The patent they refer to is essential to the reliable functioning of telecom networks and devices and Samsung believes that Apple's violation as being too severe and that the iPhone 4S should be barred from sales. This bit is the bit that puts a smile on my Samsung lovin' dial:
Apple has continued to flagrantly violate our intellectual property rights and free ride on our technology. We believe it is now necessary to take legal action to protect our innovation.
Battlefield 3 loses over 34k pre-orders, people aren't happy with beta
The Battlefield 3 beta has given users the chance to either play the beta early (48 hours earlier than the open beta) and for those who didn't, they got a free, no obligation chance to test out the beta to see if they liked it. So far, most people have loved it. But there are of course, the haters. There are issues with the beta, but this is why it is a beta after all. It does not represent the final product, nor does it show off the entire game.
But, there has been a tweet from the guys behind Battlefield 3 have tweeted that they've lost 34,000 pre-orders with those numbers rising. They remind everyone that "people need to be aware this is a beta, much more to come for the full game". I have to reinforce the same thing, it's not perfect for me, but I expect that for a beta. I do expect more from the full game, but I haven't canceled my pre-order. The news of BF3 possibly hitting Steam made me cancel my CD-key order and wait for Steam, though.
Battlefield 3 to make its way to Steam after all?
BF3Blog has received an anonymous report from inside Valve, that they are in late-stage talks with EA to bring Battlefield 3 to Steam. The rumor is that Battlefield 3 will be available just in time for the release of the game on October 25. According to the report, EA and Valve are very close to reaching an agreement regarding sales of DLC content, which is the main reason Battlefield 3 wasn't previously coming to Steam.
Valve requires that all DLC is sold through Steam, whereas EA prefers to sell it through their own channels. This was why Crysis 2 (another EA title) was pulled from Steam earlier this year. Many PC gamers have lobbied both EA and Valve to bring Battlefield 3 to Steam and it looks like this may just happen. Fingers crossed!
Steve Jobs steps down as Apple's CEO
Steve Jobs has officially submitted his resignation to the Apple board today, and as of this afternoon he will no longer be Apple's Chief Executive Officer. Tim Cook is set to take over as CEO. The exact details as to why he's stepping down as CEO are not disclosed, but many are guessing it's health-related. Jobs has been on medical leave since January 17 - the second time in two years. Steve Jobs' letter is below:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

The trip is great as we'll S the food served, although there was not a great variety of food choices for a buffet. The music was awesome! The service though, was not as we expected.

Mergers & Acquisitions on Ulitzer
The United States Senate waded into the Oracle-Sun imbroglio Tuesday.
Fifty-nine senators from both sides of the aisle led by one-time presidential hopeful John Kerry (D-Mass) and perennial presidential pretender Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) signed a letter to the European Commission asking it to wrap up its investigation of the Oracle-Sun merger as soon as possible pleading Sun's precarious financial position and its inability to continue to employ thousands of people endlessly under current conditions.
The senators - there are only a hundred of them - tried reasoning proportion with the EC saying, "It is our understanding the Commission is concerned about competition in the database software market. However, we have been informed by Sun Microsystems that their subsidiary, which competes in this specific market, generates only €17 million in revenue and that the same market has competitors with capitalizations of tens of billions of Euros."
In an explanatory statement accompanying the letter Kerry said, "The deal between Oracle and Sun was announced in April and seven months have gone by without a resolution. Continued delay of the European Commission's decision on clearance threatens thousands of American jobs, so we felt compelled to ask for a speedy resolution. The EC is within its sovereign rights to set the rules for operation in its market, but with our Department of Justice having made a compelling case that the merger does not pose a threat to competition, it is fair to ask the EC for the basis on which a delay on decision making is warranted and to make a decision one way or the other."
Hmm. "One way or the other."
Odd thing about the delay is that Oracle, which has complained to just about everybody about the EC's foot-dragging, just asked for and got more time ostensibly to develop its arguments.
What use six more days will be to Oracle is a question. The regulator seems intent on blocking the merger unless Oracle divests MySQL, which - come to find out from the senators' letter only generates a pissant $25 million in revenue, half of what was generally supposed when Sun bought the thing for - be still, my heart - a frigging billion dollars.
Senator Hatch's statement was a bit testier and mirrors more accurately American public option.
"I have become increasingly concerned about the growing body of evidence that foreign regulatory agencies are unfairly using their review processes to impede the business of American corporations," he said. "This transaction has been thoroughly reviewed by the United States Department of Justice, which has decided to take no action. Therefore, I hope the EC will quickly conclude their investigation into this transaction."
The Senate's letter is the second time Washington has commented on the EC's intransigence on the Oracle-Sun merger.
On November 9, the day Sun got the EC's reportedly 155-page statement of objections, the Justice Department issued a statement saying that it had looked at the MySQL issue and concluded that "the proposed transaction is unlikely to be anticompetitive."
There are plenty of open source and proprietary databases, it said, and so the consumer is unlikely to be harmed. Plus there's a large community of MySQL developers and users with the expertise to maintain, improve and support it.
Such a thing seems to make no never mind with the EC, which thinks Oracle will adopt a licensing and development strategy that prevents MySQL from cannibalizing its revenues even though hasn't happened yet and they're in two separate markets, as Oracle has maintained.
The DOJ's tone was civil - and although its statement hints - as many people surmise - that the EC is bent on a political agenda having little to do with antitrust issues, relations between the two bodies have yet to degenerate into the prickly tension that marked their affairs after the EC blocked the GE-Honeywell merger a few years back.
Still with each passing day the EC, widely seen as a victim of misguided principle, makes itself a bigger target for the critics who see it as a protectionist haven for every malcontent competitor who can't cut it in the marketplace; who wonder what bright boy made it judge, jury and executioner; who are uncomfortable with its 16th century Star Chamber-like level of secrecy and its guessing game set of rules; and who question its objectivity, which was recently criticized by its own overseer after reviewing the Intel antitrust case.
European lobbyist Florian Mueller, who's working for MySQL creator Monty Widenius on opposing Oracle's acquisition of MySQL - though both men made a killing when Sun bought MySQL for a ludicrous billion dollars - claims the Senate gambit isn't going to work and that the "revenues argument is pointless."
"Twitter had zero revenues last year but no one could argue it wasn't a major force in the market," Mueller said, suggesting that the 59 senators should send Larry Ellison a letter asking him to commit to divesting MySQL so he can close the transaction quickly.
"Oracle could have a deal any day of the week by giving up MySQL," Mueller said.
However, John Briggs, an antitrust expert and an old Brussels hand, told Reuters the pressure from the US senators could affect the EC's decision. In his opinion it "will have a hard time ignoring this."
OK, so other than Thanksgiving why did Oracle really want more time?
Apparently to bring pressure like it just did with the senators.
And it got the hearing that was scheduled for November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, shifted to December 10 according to Reuters.
Apparently Oracle could have asked for more than six days. Apparently it was the one who asked for the six-day grace period. The God of the Book of Genesis created the world in six days. Does Larry actually expect to change the EC's mind in an extra six days? God, people say, had an easier job.
Apparently Oracle blew through a November 20 deadline to come up with a remedy. And it now has at least until November 30 to come up with one and avoid an automatic three-week extension of the EC's final decision, whose deadline is now January 27 instead of January 19. So if Oracle doesn't come up with an acceptable solution we could be talking about a final decision on February 17, close to 10 months after Sun and Oracle cut their deal. Meanwhile, the delay is said to be costing Sun a $100 million a month.
Former Ellison lieutenants swear that Larry ain't as perturbed about the EC's delay as Oracle lets on, that he ain't gonna pay the nominal $7.4 billion ($9.50 a share) he offered for Sun (nominal less the money Sun has in the bank) and that he's going to renegotiate the price down complaining that Sun has been materially damaged by the EC's dicking around.
They also say that Ellison could give a hoot about MySQL - it would be nice to have and he doesn't want a serious competitor to have it - but it's not the reason he's interested in Sun. Java, Sparc, Solaris and the Sun installed base is what he's after.
It's hard to imagine Ellison backing off from this fight but, if he wearies of it, he might offer to dump MySQL into an open source project or foundation like, say, Eclipse, or maybe he just needs six days to cut a handshake deal with a company that won't do much at all with MySQL and distancing Oracle from the licensing control that seems to have the EC so perturbed.
It can't control who Oracle might spin it off to.
By way of revenge, if it goes to a player, odds are Oracle will then do whatever's possible to stomp that sucker flat - even if MySQL isn't a direct competitor of Oracle's database.
That said here's the Kerry-Hatch letter:
Chargé d'Affaires Angelos Pangratis
Acting Head of Delegation
Delegation of the European Commission to the United States
2300 M Street, NW
Washington, DC 20037
Dear Chargé d'Affaires Pangratis:
As fellow government officials committed to the principle that competition is the cornerstone of healthy economic growth, we would like to take this opportunity to share our thoughts with you as to the proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Inc. by Oracle Corporation. In addition, due to Sun Microsystems' deteriorating financial condition and the possible negative effect on employment of the company's workforce, we respectfully request the European Commission expedite the completion of its investigation into this transaction.
The United States Department of Justice, after an intensive investigation, closed its inquiry into this transaction without taking any action. In fact, the Justice Department did not find documentary evidence that this acquisition would harm competition. We recognize that the European Commission has a sovereign right to thoroughly investigate transactions where corporations utilize the European Union's marketplace. Further, it is our understanding the Commission is concerned about competition in the database software market. However, we have been informed by Sun Microsystems that their subsidiary, which competes in this specific market, generates only €17 million in revenue and that the same market has competitors with capitalizations of tens of billions of Euros.
Unfortunately, Sun Microsystems' financial position has become more precarious and the Commission's inquiry has continued. Some have raised concerns over the company's ability to continue to employ its thousands of workers. Accordingly, we respectfully request the European Commission complete its investigation of this transaction as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
See http://kerry.senate.gov/cfm/record.cfm?id=320244 for all the signatures.
Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Mitt Romney has a jobs creation plan if he becomes President, alright. But no one, including Mitt Romney himself, is talking about it.
Remember the $2 trillion he wants to spend on the military? That $2 trillion he wants to spend on the military which the Pentagon doesn't even want (but Defense contractors certainly do) translates into a huge jobs program.

To attach the hinges, the spacing needs to be correct between the bookcases. There are usually quarter inch spacers provided with the kit (image 1), and clamp between the two units (image 2). Make sure the tops are even when they are clamped into position.
Attaching the hinge is important to keep the shelves straight. Start at the top and put a few screws in there, at the bottom and center.
Use a hole-centering bit to pre-drill one hole in the first screw hole at the top of the hinge. Pre-drill the holes for the screws. Don't fully tighten the screws until they're both in.
Fully tighten the screws into the hinge making sure that it is perfectly straight.
To position the mounting brackets for the bookcase door, the pivot points of the threshold and the valence need to line up. The edge of the door needs to be flush with the trim (image 1). With the valance and threshold in place, make surethey are evenly spaced on both ends (image 2).
Mark the threshold with tape. Then, take off the valance and move it over 5/8 of an inch to allow for trim, and remark it.

Thanks to Ryan Clark Holiday for His Post on The Future of PR

Thank you to Ryan Clark Holiday for his post yesterday discussing the future of pr.
Thank you to Ryan Clark Holiday for his post yesterday discussing the future of pr.
Of all the forms of traditional and new media marketing, blogs continue to evolve as the global exchange for sharing ideas, opinions and interpretations across all industries. So much so, that yet another old online strategy is being dolled up as a new trend, extending the original practice of participation from traditional forums into the blogosophere.
Last week, Nandor Fejer and Alison McNeill attended the Back to the Future - Beyond Web 2.0 event in Silicon Valley while I attended DEMO 07.
Jeremiah Owyang, Director of Corporate Media Strategy at Podtech.net

Blogging is nothing new, yet it is still highly underrated and misunderstood by Corporate America. Note, this isn't written for the legions of social media-savvy professionals, this is aimed at those looking for the right way to participate.
Although many of the same tools and strategies that make blogging so popular and influential are now starting to force new channels of business-to-business communications, most corporations are either slow to respond or treat it as the bastard step child of marketing.
Taking a step back from the highly publicized and globally viewed online game show series, "Get It or Don't Get It," I am still shaking my head wondering at what point the communications industry stopped paying attention to the need for evolution.
Millions of bloggers (not to mention journalists) use traditional releases to write stories everyday. Customers read SEO press releases in Yahoo and Google to make decisions.
I'm at DEMO – unofficially working with Ephraim Schwartz and Steve Fox of Infoworld. I'm snapping a ton of pictures and they're running them in online stories and their DEMO slideshows.
Pictures are worth a thousand words….so, I've decided to cover DEMO as more of a photo journalist than a live blogger. UPDATE: Here's a link to the entire album of 300 pictures from the event.

Well, I'm getting ready to head on over to Palm Spring to attend the DEMO Conference.
Now in its 17th year, the DEMO conferences are known for launching important new technologies into the national consciousness. DEMO 07, taking place January 30 – February 1 in Palm Desert, CA, will introduce 68 carefully vetted products and
services to an audience of investors, business development executives, media, pundits, and fellow entrepreneurs.

I just read over on Techmeme that Microsoft PR may be digging itself deeper into another potential PR fiasco. There is a blogstorm out there with dozens of bloggers, myself included, casting opinions. Many of which I don't necessarily agree with. I had to find out for myself, so I contacted several of the privileged bloggers who already have the notebook as well as other PR leaders to discuss the topic.
Brian Solis is a digital analyst, anthropologist, and also a futurist. In his work at Altimeter Group, Solis studies the effects of disruptive technology on business and society. He is an avid keynote speaker and award-winning author who is globally recognized as one of the most prominent thought leaders in digital transformation.
His most recent book, What's the Future of Business: Changing the Way Businesses Create Experiences (WTF), explores the landscape of connected consumerism and how business and customer relationships unfold in four distinct moments of truth. His previous book, The End of Business as Usual, explores the emergence of Generation-C, a new generation of customers and employees and how businesses must adapt to reach them. In 2009, Solis released Engage, which is regarded as the industry reference guide for businesses to market, sell and service in the social web.

I ended up being the one who told my (now-ex) mil & fil, 4 months after I filed for divorce, and after now-ex was already living with OW. I think they knew he wasn't living at the house, but they didn't know about the divorce. I viewed it as yet more more of his messes I had to clean up, as if I hadn't had enough to deal with at the time.

Ian was an amazing guest. Respectful of the property and neighbors, he is welcome back to HEART of the MARINA, Chestnut Street, San Francisco, anytime.
Ian stayed several nights with us and he was very respectful of our privacy and very quiet. We welcomed him with beers one evening and that was the only time we hang out together. He is neat, he is clean, he is cool and a very interesting person. We welcome him to stay at our place any time and we would recommend him to anyone.
It was pleasure having him; he could have STAY @ 4 seasons -easy- but decided to be close to Visa HD Q. He can stay here a-n-y-t-i-m-e!

It is an older motel. Nice for one night. There was food left in the fridge from the guest before, cigarette burns in the linens and stains on the washcloths. Smelled like smoke in the hotel. Probably would not stay again. No meats in the continental breakfast.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything
Location: Location is great.
When we checked in, we were given a room that looked like it was used for furniture storage. The first thing I did was step in a pile of dog poop in the room. Then we tried to turn on the A/C and it did not work. The toilet was stopped up. So, the manager changed rooms for us. The second room was much nicer, However, the rack where you hang up your clothes could not be used because it had the refrigerator and microwave under it. We made do and settled in for a good nights sleep. When we woke up Thursday morning, there was no hot water. When we checked out Saturday morning, we still had no hot water. When I tried to call the front desk, no one answered. It is the worst run hotel I have ever stayed in. I have had good luck with Super 8 motels before, but this one was a disaster. I would not recommend this one to anyone. I am also a member of Wyndham and plan on letting them know too. The back door is locked at night for safety, which I understand, but you cannot scan your card and enter. It just has a key lock. So you have to park in the front and walk all the way to the back if staying in the back.

The room was clean, and we were in the basement, our room was clean but the bedding smelt strongly of cigarette smoke. It was very difficult to sleep because of it. I wish they would launder their bedding from smoking rooms and non-smoking rooms separately, with equipment dedicated to each.

Not clean!Posted Jul 30, 2013 on Hotels.com
The overall hotel was dirty. There was trash behind all the tables in the room, the microwave was covered in leftover food from the people before. There were open bars of soap left in the room. At checkout the following morning, there was no one to check you out only a note on the counter to use the lobby phone if you need to speak with someone. I've stayed in cheap hotels before but this one was probably the worst.

If the Trans-Pacific Partnership is approved, American workers will be forced to compete with workers in countries like Vietnam, with a minimum wage of 25 cents an hour.

green & gold: chrysogonum virginianum
Has anyone had success growing this ground cover in Wisconsin...I'm in the Appleton area. A True Value store has this and I'd like to get some, but I've never seen it growing anywhere here and I know that the woman who orders for this store sometimes doesn't get things that are quite hardy enough here. I think this may be hardy to zone 5 but not 4. I want something that's going to come back for sure, so I'd love to hear from others if they've had good luck with this in zone 4..or even 3!
The tag says it will do well in full sun to shade...any thoughts on that?
By the way, I know there are some specific cultivars of this, but my tag does not indicate anything beyond what I wrote in the subject of the posting.
Thank you!
LOL, global warming has not been on my side so far. It seems that whenever I try to push a zone with a plant, I lose. Others are successful, but maybe I just don't understand my own garden's microclimates. Since it knocks back hard for you, I don't think I'll plant it. I'll have to search for something else unless someone up here has had years of success with it. Thank you!
dont feel too bad. i had the species 5 or 6 yrs ago and also the Allan Bush cultivar just last year...neither made it thru their first winter in my zone 6 gardens.
awfully cute little thing though.
"The one thing all gardeners share in common is a belief in tomorrow"
If you're just looking for green & gold, well, we're Packer fans living in Bear country; but we have a groundcover sedum that's a pretty green with a little gold flower. It's blooming right now and has been very hard working in the three years we had it. And we got it from McKay's, in Wisconsin. They came down here and installed our whole landscape.

This mix makes excellent pancakes that don't taste "too wheatey", if you know what I mean. My nine year old son and husband both thought they were delicious. I also used it as the crust in a Paula Deen peach cobbler and an apple cobbler recipe. It was equally delicious, and no I did not use a whole stick of butter. Highly recommend this product.
Tastes and performs better than Lowfat Bisquick

Hodgson Mill makes great baking mixes. I use quite a few of them. I normally grind my own grains for baking but when in a hurry I always use this brand. They make other mixes as well. This one is for general use and there are recipes on the box.
GREAT baking mix!
