Social Security Disability Attorney Group, Parmele Law Firm, Explains How They Represent SSDI Claims in Their New Home Page Feature Video
Daniel Parmele, owner of Parmele Law Firm and experienced Social Security disability lawyer, shares on video how working with a law firm that focuses on SSDI helps the injured get the disability benefits.
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) law is complicated to navigate for any person, and can be doubly complex when a person is also recovering from an injury that has left them disabled. As one of the largest law firms in the Midwest exclusively focused on Social Security disability cases, Parmele Law Firm wants to reduce some of that confusion. Daniel Parmele, former Social Security Administration Senior Staff Attorney, recently created a video to help consumers learn about disability law and what a Social Security disability attorney can do for them.
The video titled "Social Security Disability Attorneys – Parmele Law Firm" is available on the firm's YouTube channel and as the feature video on the home page of the website at http://parmelelawfirm.com. Daniel Parmele and the other 18 lawyers practicing disability law across Missouri, Kansas and Illinois hope that the video will be helpful in answering basic questions about claiming disability benefits from the Social Security Administration under the SSDI program. For example, most consumers would not know that the Social Security Administration pays the attorney fees for any successful claims case and that they pay any lawyer the same amount. This is great information for a disabled person to have when they are selecting a Social Security disability lawyer, because it means that they can choose an attorney based on experience, competence and results and not worry about costs.
Clearly, every disability situation is unique. After watching the video, Daniel encourages website visitors to call the location nearest them to speak to a professional advocate about their circumstance. Parmele Law Firm has offices across Missouri, Kansas and Illinois.
About Parmele Law Firm, PC
Parmele Law Firm is considered to be one of the premier providers of Social Security disability legal assistance in the Midwest with offices in Missouri, Kanasas and Illinois. Parmele Law Firm close to 20 disability attorneys and an excellent team of para-legals and support staff that deal with SSDI claims every day. Since its founding, Parmele Law Firm has represented over 50,000 cases against the Social Security Administration and has an excellent track record of success getting disabled people the SSD benefits they deserve. Parmele Law Firm offers free consultations.

Saudi Arabian city to spend how much to ease traffic congestion?!
Jeddah Municipality will implement new projects worth over $160 millio (SR600 million) to ease traffic congestion in the city.
The municipality has awarded several projects for the construction of flyovers, tunnels and pedestrian bridges over the last three months, according to Abdulaziz Al-Ghamdi, director general of the culture and media division at the mayoralty.
Al-Ghamdi said one of the projects was for constructing tunnels at the intersections of Al-Andalus Road with Palestine Road and Al-Hamra Street at a cost of SR15 million.
The four-lane tunnel in either direction will have a length of 1,400 meters. Upon its completion, traffic flow along Al-Andalus Road, King Abdulaziz Road and Palestine Road, some of the main thoroughfares in the city, is expected to be smoother.
Another project consisting of bridges and tunnels at the intersection of Old Makkah Road and Prince Majed Road was awarded at a cost of SR197 million. The project includes a 550-meter tunnel along Old Makkah Road with two main lanes and two service lanes.
Al-Ghamdi said another contract, worth SR92 million, was awarded to implement a 600-meter bridge at the intersection of Prince Majed Road and Bani Malik Street. The mayoralty also awarded a number of pedestrian bridge projects, including one across Al-Andalus Road. This will be the first of a number of pedestrian bridges with escalators, he added.

Megan Fox, Hitler, and Spielberg
Yes, you can put the three together in one sentence
When the third installment of director Michael Bay's Transformers franchise hits theaters next month, the
eye candy female lead of the first two, actress Megan Fox, will not appear (the new eye candy female lead is Rosie Huntingdon-Whitley, whose previous films include no films, because she is a lingerie model). Fox's omission was attributed last year to fairly vague circumstances, including a desire to take star Shia LeBoeuf's character in a new direction (which is a funny notion if you have seen either of the Transformers films) and, ominously, "a dispute [that] emerged between Megan, unnamed Transformers crewmembers and even the director."
We now know what it was. According to Bay, producer Steven Spielberg instructed Bay to fire Fox after she committed the old reductio ad Hitlerum rhetorical and career fallacy. In 2009, she said of Bay, "He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is."

Exit interview: Q&A with San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders
A: Managed competition [to have groups of city workers and private companies bid on the provision of city services, as directed by a 2006 ballot initiative], we put that in finally after four years of messing around with the public employee unions. We saved about $10 million annually with the first five that we've gone out on. But there are many more that we want to see pushed through. And the council's kind of balking at it right now. They don't really want to take them through especially with [Bob Filner coming in as mayor]. There's a potential of probably another $10, $15, $20 million a year in savings that you could do. The employees when faced with putting in a bid have cut about 30 percent each time on what their costs are and what the labor is. When you ask the employees where the fat is, they know where the fat is. And they're making those cuts as they bid on that. So managed competition has to continue.
Q: What area of city services in your view requires the most budgetary attention?
A: I really think infrastructure's going to be the main focus over the next several years. We had about a $900 million backlog and we've made a huge dent in that. But there's still a lot to do. And anytime you're on any of the streets or roads, you can still see that we need to do a lot more. And I think that's something we set in place so it can be done.
Q: After Prop. B, the pension reform measure in June, and other moves, San Diego's arguably taken more dramatic steps than any other large city in America.
A: There's two huge things that happened that I think have kind of set a trend in the state. [Revising] retiree health care was the largest savings we've ever gotten. And nobody else has done that that we know of. We knocked our unfunded liability down from $1.3 billion to $450 million. We put all of our [new] employees in a (401)-k-style system. Prop. B is going to cost us in the first two years. But over the next 30 years, it saves about $1 billion to $2 billion. That's going to have a huge impact into the future.
Q: What are some of the bigger projects that you were not able to get through or to complete?
A: Well, the library will be complete, fully funded, on budget, on time. And then it'll open in July. [On expansion of the] Convention Center, obviously there's still some moving parts in all of that. But I believe that we've locked it up pretty much. [On planned major changes to] Plaza de Panama, you know, anybody can file a lawsuit. And that's what we see right now. I believe that's excellent for the park. It gets the traffic out of the middle where it was never supposed to be. I think that's going to be the centerpiece for the 2015 [Balboa Park] Centennial. We're very excited about that. And I expect that will be brought to completion also. The one that we didn't get to do was a new City Hall. We have [workers] in five buildings right now. We would have saved money redeveloping the north side of C Street. We're right now doing retrofitting in City Hall, which is absolutely ridiculous, pulling asbestos out, putting sprinklers in, doing that in a building that's 60 years old. They don't even make parts for [its] physical plant anymore.

Authorities say a 17-year-old has been arrested in the death and sexual assault of 6-year-old Jenise Wright, whose body was found near the mobile home park she vanished from last weekend.
Kitsap County sheriff's Detective Earl Smith said at a news conference Saturday afternoon that deputies and FBI agents arrested the boy at his home without incident.
A 12-year old friend of Wright's told KING5 News that she and other children now feel safe playing outside.
I feel way better. I don t have to lock myself in my room every night being afraid that he s out there somewhere, she said. He deserves to be arrested for doing what he did.
The teen lived in the same Bremerton-area mobile home park as the girl. Smith said the boy would be booked on suspicion of second-degree murder, manslaughter and rape.
The state crime lab made positive confirmation of the suspect through forensic evidence.
They don t know who it is, so I m hesitant to say, but there is a possibility that this was a family friend who would ve been trusted, said family Spokesperson Chris Byron.
The sheriff's office said Friday that it was collecting DNA cheek swabs from dozens of residents who volunteered them in the mobile home park.
We made a promise that we would bring justice to Jenise Wright and today we delivered on that promise, Smith said.
The suspect's name was not released because he is a minor.
Did we know him? Did I see him in the hallway? Did I pass him? Did I talk to him? Is he even one of my friends? It s just hard to imagine someone you go to school with and eat lunch with everyday turning out to be able to do something so horrible to a little girl, said Isabella Luchini.
Luchini, 18, dropped flowers at the growing memorial near the Steel Creek mobile home park.
Police said they don't know if the suspect knew the girl's family but since the mobile home park is so small it is likely.
The girl's body was found in the woods near the park. No exact cause of death has been released.
The family says a memorial will be held next Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints at 9256 Nelson Nelson Rd NW in Bremerton. The public is welcome.

Lung tissue histology. Lung fragments from a Wistar rat were incubated at 37°C in 50 mL MEM continuously gassed with 95% O2:5% CO2 (Panels B–C) or kept without gassing (Panels E–F). The tissues were then processed for H&E staining at 0, 3, and 6 h. For Panel A–D, the lung specimen was fixed immediately after tissue collection. The pulmonary parenchyma was better preserved in oxygenated sample over 6 h compared to unoxygenated sample, which demonstrated signs of tissue death overtime characterized by collapse of alveolar walls with sloughing of bronchiolar epithelium, loss of pneumatocytes, extravasation of red blood cells and serum fluid into alveolar spaces.

Aquino administration renews fiscal incentives rationalization
With the enactment of the sin tax reform and reproductive health measures into law, the Aquino administration now wants legislators to pass in the coming 16th Congress another controversial bill that has been pending for 15 years.
The fiscal incentives rationalization bill has been facing strong opposition due to its provisions, particularly the lifting of the tax- and duty-free incentives of several industries.
"The reproductive health and sin tax reform laws were 15 years in the making. Now, we are hoping Congress [will] finally pass the fiscal incentives rationalization bill that has also been pending for about 15 years," Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares said last week.
The bill has been certified a priority measure by the Aquino administration's economic team. Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima earlier said that the tax perks granted to industries that could stay viable even without the incentives should be lifted to boost government revenues.
Two of the industries that should no longer be granted income tax holidays are low-cost housing development and mining exploration, Henares told the Inquirer.
Henares said that, according to the law, a low-cost house is one that is priced at P3 million and below. Based on the hefty price tag, the houses should not be considered "low-cost" and developers should not be entitled to incentives, she explained, citing the government's potential revenue loss.
"Why give incentives to the developer? A better measure is to give subsidies directly to the poor," she suggested.
On mining, Henares said the government should no longer grant income tax holidays to companies engaged in exploration. She said the country's rich natural resources are incentive enough, and mining companies in the Philippines can stay profitable even without the tax perks.
The BIR and its head agency, the Department of Finance, said the tax incentives granted to various industries continued to weigh down the country's tax effort.
A closely watched indicator of a country's credit worthiness, tax effort is the ratio between the government's collection of taxes and import duties and the economy's gross domestic product.
Ideally, growth in tax collection should at least match the economic growth pace. However, this is not the case in the Philippines because many profitable industries do not pay the proper taxes to the government, Henares said.
The DOF earlier reported that the tax effort stood at 11.9 percent in the first quarter, down from the 12.5 percent reported in the same period last year. The Philippines' tax effort is lower than those of many countries with similar credit ratings.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals Cover Beyonc
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have lots of fans here at VH1. It's not just any group that gets selected as You Oughta Know artists, invited to play "Paris (Ooh La La)" at 2010's VH1 Divas Support the Troops and a set in our You Oughta Know Live series with a four-song set featuring a cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" (as part of a month we spent with the band as part of VH1's Posted series).
So of course we were excited to see the band taking on another challenge of a cover, Beyonc?'s "Why Don't You Love Me," over at Billboard.com. Watch the band's rendition above, and click through for the full story.

Cheryl Cole (Who?) Joins The X Factor
Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood is reporting that former American Idol mainstay Simon Cowell has chosen his fellow judges for the United States launch of the British musical competition The X Factor: Paula Abdul, music exec L.A. Reid and Cheryl Cole.

Remembering Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes
Even when she actively beefed with her fellow TLC members Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was always the lifeblood and the lynchpin of their trio, so when Lopes was killed in a car accident nine years ago today, the group, after wrapping production on work-in-progress album, effectively ceased to exist.
Left Eye was always the most flamboyant of the three, brash and unembarrassed. From the Ooooooohhh…On the TLC Tip days, when, as the Philly-transplant in Atlanta, she rocked the b-girl look ten times harder than T-Boz or Chilli but somehow still sold it better, to the prosperity-gospel-with-a-spiritual-twist of her "No Scrubs" verse: "If you can't spatially expand my horizons, then that leaves you in a class with scrubs, never rising," and beyond, Left Eye was always fighting to be seen and heard.
Prince To World: Don't Cover My Songs
This weekend, Prince's "Welcome 2 America" tour took over the L.A. Forum for the first full weekend of the artist's planned 21 night residency. The kickoff show, which was held back on April 14, wasn't exactly hailed by the LA Times as quite the barnstorming success of his New York stint, but entertaining, nonetheless. Recently, he stopped by Lopez Tonight for an entertaining (and somewhat revealing) interview which was notable for one particularly weird request from the purple one to the world at large: Don't cover his songs.
First Look: You Oughta Know Live: Lissie
VH1's NYC offices welcomed singer/guitarist Lissie and her band earlier this afternoon. Lissie is an upcoming You Oughta Know artist, so we were happy to host her amid what's apparently been a busy schedule for the band. They left our offices already packed for their Australian tour that starts Wednesday, debating whether Lissie would have time to go home to Ojai during their extended layover in Los Angeles tomorrow (they decided no) but thankful that they at least had time for a trip to In 'N' Out.
While the band was here, they performed an exclusive four-song live set for You Oughta Know Live, which will be available on VH1.com shortly. Until then, here's the inside scoop! Read more…

Mumford & Sons Play in Pre-Railroad Revival Mega-Jam
The Railroad Revival Tour kicked off in Oakland, CA last night, with Mumford & Sons, fresh from Coachella, teaming with Old Crow Medicine Show and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. But friends, family, and a handful of lucky fans were treated to a private "pre-game" performance the night before in San Francisco. The bands took the low-stakes opportunity to get back into the groove of jamming together before the tour started in earnest. Above, watch the three bands perform "Wagon Wheel" from 2004's self-titled Old Crow Medicine Show.
The Railroad Revival Tour wraps on April 27 in New Orleans, one day before You Oughta Know band Mumford & Sons is to appear on the O Music Awards, streaming live online on April 28 at 11PM ET.

Death Cab For Cutie Finally Opens Up For VH1 Storytellers
After being together for almost fifteen years, indie rockers Death Cab For Cutie have seen their fair share of shows, festivals and venues. But until last night, frontman Ben Gibbard never felt it ?appropriate? to talk about their songs? inspiration, or more specifically, his intricate writing process. ?I?m still figuring it out for myself,? admitted the lead singer, figuratively scratching his head as he explained the varied characters and scenarios that have occupied Death Cab?s lyrics over the years. However, in front of our VH1 Storytellers production crew and a slew of psyched-up fans in a Los Angeles studio last night, Ben opened up and finally shared the band's story in his own way, painting pictures with words, allowing us all to be transported back in time to shake hands with his vision.
Hailing from Bellingham, Washington, we learned that Death Cab For Cutie?s Ben, Nick, Chris and (then-drummer) Nathan moved to Seattle early in their career, and were initially frustrated by the hungry artist lifestyle. According to the stories he shared with us, eating humble pie was a ongoing fixture in Ben?s creative process: Being laughed at by a car full of girls on the highway for driving his 1992 ?couch on wheels? Buick Regal was part of Gibbard?s impetus for writing ?Title and Registration,? and the modesty the band faced in the Seattle transition — what they then considered to be ?the big city? — he found to be specifically trying. ?There are few things more demoralizing than groveling for a job that you don?t even want,? Ben stated plainly when articulating the origins for ?The Employment Pages,? a track off their second LP, We Have The Facts and We?re Voting Yes.

As design concept of our theme is Flat Metro Style, i think, that is a bad idea changing the menu from square to round. It really will kill theme design, and fully outright. But if you want do this, we can help you, but it is realy bad idea
Is it possible to add more then 7 pages?
Hi. Is it possible to show a youtube video on a single page? For example: About us.
Can the button color and icons be changed?
Yes, it can.

Daily Kos: Tearful President Obama: "I'm Really Proud of All of You." dailykos.com/story/2012/11/… via @dailykos— therehastobeaway (@THTBAW) November 9, 2012
Watch it.
Hear the earnestness in the story he here shares.
See the seriousness with which he takes his faith in public service and what we all can do to help the lives of others through that service.
Feel the commitment of his vision for what communities can be when people are inspired to make a difference and attach themselves to causes larger than themselves.
Cherish the living memory of a man who dedicated his life to ensuring that not only his own daughters, but also yours; not only his mother, but also yours; not only he, but also you could enjoy the promises of a truly free and just and hopeful and united society.
This is the man we re-elected to do the work of uniting our nation and moving it into higher moral and economic orbit. This is the man that is proud of us, and the man that we should all—and after watching this video, I imagine you'll agree—be proud of too.
Thank you, Mr. President. We look forward to these next four years with you.
Tidbits and Tidpieces
This happened yesterday, November 7.
It happened at Obama HQ in Chicago.
Obama gets emotional several times, but the human magic happens from 3:22 to 3:59.
The guy that speaks out when Obama starts crying seems to be saying, "Hold on, Barack, hold on", in a sort of communal, sermonic, "testifying" exchange. h/t Torta here
Those dudes by the wall to the right of Obama are David Axelrod (with the glorious 'stache) and Jim Messina (who threw an epic fist pump at 0:03). h/t Trix here
More about Messina: Messina was in charge of the campaign. He was the David Plouffe of 2012. And boy did he knock that out of the ballpark. You can read here about the highly secretive data-crunching team Messina put together that is at the heart of why Obama got re-elected.
UPDATEIt's pretty exciting to wonder if this time around, OFA will use its massive database and infinite volunteer mojo to mobilize us at the grassroots level like a lot of us had hoped back in 2008.
As luck would have it, Jim Messina sent OFA an e-mail just now, titled "Thank You". I'm posting it in its entirety, in case you unsubscribed from OFA!:Friend --
President Obama made a surprise visit to the campaign office in Chicago yesterday to give a heartfelt thank-you to staff and volunteers.
I wanted to pass this video along, because it's a message every single person who helped build this campaign deserves to see. He wasn't just talking to those of us in the office -- he was talking to all of you.
In his speech on Election Night, President Obama gave you all the title you have spent the last year and a half earning:
"The best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics."
So many times in this election, this campaign was counted out. They said our supporters wouldn't turn out, and we'd never see the kind of voter participation we saw in 2008. They said we'd be buried in money and special-interest influence. And they said that no campaign could overcome the political headwinds we faced.
Last year, a major American newspaper asked, "Is Obama toast?" As recently as two weeks ago, another ran this headline: "Can Obama win?"
Tuesday night, you all answered all of those doubts with a resounding YES WE CAN. By knocking on doors, organizing phone banks, and chipping in a few bucks when you could, you built a campaign that is unparalleled. And you re-elected our president.
You also proved that millions of ordinary people taking ownership of a cause is still the most powerful force in our political process. You showed that grassroots organizing and small donations are not only the right way to win, but also the most effective way.
How we got here must guide where we go. If we're going to accomplish the things America voted for on Tuesday, you've got to be even more involved in getting them done than you were in giving us all the chance.
We'll be in touch soon about how we can get started on some of the President's top priorities in his second term.
For now, I just want to say I am so proud of this team. And I can't wait to see where you take this incredible movement from here.
Thank you -- more to come,
Jim Messina
Campaign Manager
Obama for America
Psst. Come join The Cave.
And if you have, as the great Napoleon Dynamite would say, "SKILLS", please shoot me or the group a message. We needs you. Cuz we's gonna take 2014 by storm. And by storm, we mean Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate, balance contrarians be damned.

Kenyans making wedding dresses from malaria nets
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating is associate editor at Foreign Policy and the editor of the Passport blog. He has worked as a researcher, editorial assistant, and deputy Web editor since joining the FP staff in 2007. In addition to being featured in Foreign Policy, his writing has been published by the Washington Post, Newsweek International, Radio Prague, the Center for Defense Information, and Romania's Adevarul newspaper. He has appeared as a commentator on CNN International, C-Span, ABC News, Al Jazeera, NPR, BBC radio, and others. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he studied comparative politics at Oberlin College.
Bill Easterly flags this article from Kenya's Daily Nation:
Mosquito net manufactures are teaming up with the provincial administration and village elders in several parts of Kenya in an effort to apprehend and prosecute people who use the products for purposes other than covering beds.
According to Dr Elizabeth Juma, who is the head of malaria control under the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, there has been evidence of people turning the nets into fishing gear especially in Nyanza Province. Now a different group has discovered another lucrative business venture, and are using the nets to make wedding dresses.
Easterly notes: "Net promoters seem to consistently underestimate the challenge of spreading the scientific knowledge about the risks of getting malaria from mosquito bites."

Foster: 'It was within the scheme'
Updated: October 28, 2004, 9:34 PM ETAssociated Press
Denver Broncos: Tackle George Foster defended himself Thursday after critics suggested he went out of his way to injure Cincinnati defensive lineman Tony Williams in Monday night's game.
"I just want people out there to know that I'm not that type of guy," Foster said. "I would never do anything like that on purpose."
During Denver's 23-10 loss, Foster came back on a play and took
Williams out by diving at his legs. Williams had surgery for a

In his new book, author Michael Farr aims to help you save enough money for your retirement.
Farr gives tips on how consumers can begin building $1 million in liquid assets they'll need to support themselves for the 20-plus years they'll survive after their retirement.
"A Million Is Not Enough: How to Retire With the Money You'll Need" offers tips for people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. While the goal may seem unattainable, Farr believes it's possible.
Read an excerpt below of this book below.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ended on December 25,1991. I was there in June 1991, helping to lay the groundwork for that fall.
George H. W. Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev were playing nicely. The heated Cold War rhetoric had cooled. Gorbachev had endorsed the idea of a stock exchange, and Bush offered to help. I'm not sure how the call to the CEO of Alex. Brown & Sons, the oldest investment banking firm in the United States, ultimately reached my desk, but it did. There I was, a thirty-year-old former high school teacher and now vice president of the old, revered banking firm, teaching communists how to be capitalists. In many ways I myself had just made that transition: from altruistic schoolteacher to Wall Street financier.
My Pan Am flight arrived in Moscow before heading on to Leningrad. We taxied to a lifeless-looking brown brick terminal, an enormous red flag emblazoned with yellow hammer and sickle billowing ominously overhead. As the plane stopped, a dozen young men in Soviet uniforms with machine guns ran toward us from all angles. They stopped in unison, stared at the windows with their angry, peach-fuzzed baby faces, and turned on their heels with their backs to us, keeping guard. The Cold War was still alive and well, and I was wondering if I had been sent because I was young and dispensable.
I lectured to three hundred people from the various Soviet states and Eastern Bloc countries for ten days. Their questions and desire for knowledge and information seemed insatiable. The tough part was teaching culture and not content. Intellectually, they understood me, but culturally, they did not. There were shortages of most staples in the USSR at the time, so I used a local example. I suggested, "If you are at the front of a long line to buy butter and are able to buy the last two pounds for two rubles per pound, you might declare yourself a butter broker and sell one of your pounds of butter for five rubles to the remaining crowd." The reaction of these nascent brokers was remarkable: They were outraged. "You would not do such a thing to a comrade." "In difficult times, all comrades should help one another." "A good Russian would share his butter with the rest of the crowd." Do you see the hurdle presented? For the rest of my examples, I suggested profiting from trade with other countries and profiting from investments from which your comrade would also profit.

A-list status isn't enough to drive perfume sales
"Look at the Kardashians. They don't sing, dance or act, other that the reality show, but you look at Kim, and she has 15 million Twitter followers," Villoldo says. "If I put on a hat that we think looks funny, it's a funny looking hat, but she'll have 15 million people considering wearing that hat - that's power."
Still, he says, that only gets you so far with a fragrance. There has to be quality to get consumers to buy into a brand for repeat purchases. The Paris Hilton line has had unexpected longevity, says Villoldo, who typically hopes for a five-year run with a celebrity, but Hilton has proven a tireless promoter.
NPD's Grant is curious how Madonna will fare. "She's a mature woman so the younger generation might feel like she's a little over the hill, but Madonna is Madonna and she has A LOT of fans. When you talk about the most loyal fragrance consumer, she's over 50, and you'll have to rip out of her hands whatever her favorite one is, so once you've got her, you have a better chance of keeping her. "
Buzz doesn't necessarily drive an older woman, Grant adds, noting that Celine Dion has had many years of consistent, strong sales without too much splash.
A star with a story to tell through fragrance has a better shot, says Betsy Olum, general manager of beauty and merchandising strategy at HSN. Does the bottle design reflect the celebrity's look? Is there a scent note that has a special meaning? Consumers want to know, and they'll be able to pick out - or sniff out - the bottles that just slapped a boldfaced name on the front, she says.
On TV, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria all connected with home shoppers on TV in a way that a glitzy ad can't convey, Olum says.
"When Jennifer Lopez's mom came on with her, and then her sister texted in, even I wanted to buy the fragrance - and I did," Olum says.
She was equally impressed with Eva Longoria. "At the time we were talking about her second fragrance, and it already seemed near the end of `Desperate Housewives,' and we had a discussion here, `Would people still be engaged?'" Olum says. "But she came on, and she's one of the most beautiful women on the planet, and she said, `Don't worry, I'm going to get on and be great.' ... And I was really impressed by how she came on and really told her life story. People really connected to her."
Men take a slightly different approach in their celebrity fragrances than women, however, says Grant, since they buy more into image, using Sean "Diddy" Combs' Unforgivable and Usher's namesake cologne as examples of scents with the "sexy, bad-boy vibe." Men are more aware of choosing a fragrance that will appeal to their romantic partners.
Current celebrity best-sellers, according to NPD:
Mass market (big box and drugstores), first quarter 2012:
-Women's: White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, Reveal by Halle Berry, Fantasy by Britney Spears
-Men's: Unforgivable by Sean "Diddy" Combs, He by Usher, Soul 2 Soul by Tim McGraw
Prestige market (department and specialty stores), year-end 2011, most recent available:
-Women's: Justin Bieber Someday; Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift, Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna
-Men's: Unforgivable, I Am King by Comb's Sean John brand, Usher VIP

The 4 Universally Flattering Clothing Colors
Some hues bring out the best in everyone, regardless of skin tone or hair color.
Flattering Color: Eggplant
"Some colors work for all skin tones and hair colors, because they fall into the middle of the color spectrum, meaning they're not too warm or too cool," says Leatrice Eiseman, author of The Color Answer Book ($10, amazon.com) and director of the Pantone Color Institute, the international authority on color. Case in point: eggplant (Pantone 19-2311 TC). Eiseman calls the tone "the perfect purple" because it is extremely versatile, almost like a black, a dark brown, or a navy.

Journalism Department Recommended for Re-Accreditation
OCT. 30, 2006--Following two days of interviews with faculty, staff and students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, three academic program evaluators representing the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) recommended re-accreditation for the journalism program.
The ACEJMC site-visit team based their decision on the faculty's commitment to teaching excellence and university service as well as passionate students and well-run student media.
"The unit has high-quality students who have a sense of career aspirations in journalism," the report stated. "Many of them chose the University as transfer students for its journalism program, small size, faculty involvement with students, and immediate access to working on the student media."
The team described the faculty as "hard-working members who spend a great deal of time outside of class working with students, advising the student media, and providing university service."
The team's recommendation will be forwarded to an accrediting committee, which will review the report and send its recommendation to the full ACEJMC council. The final decision will be made in May.
"Obviously, we're very pleased with the team's report," said Colleen Callahan, department chair. "It reaffirms our mission and focus. Outside reviews are extremely important, not only to assess the present, but to help guide us toward the future."
Team members were Dan Lattimore (team chair), vice provost of extended programs and dean of the University College at the University of Memphis; Paul Smeyak, professor and graduate coordinator at the School of Journalism and Broadcasting at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla.; and Carolina Gonzalez, a consultant and freelance reporter from Brooklyn, NY.
The department, which has been accredited since 1982, undergoes the re-accreditation process every six years.
"[It is] hard work in preparing for this important process," said Terry Brown, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want to extend a special congratulations and thanks to all of the journalism faculty and Colleen for her leadership."
