Since the economic crisis broke out, capitalism has been under the microscope. Many have blamed evil businesses and market forces for the financial meltdown, and have lost confidence in private-sector engagement strategies for recovery. Luckily, in this country many more have experienced the positive impact of entrepreneurship either directly and indirectly. In a March 2009 survey, 63% of respondents said they "prefer giving individuals the incentives they need to start their own businesses as opposed to allowing the government to create new jobs directly." A look at the role of new businesses in the economy reveals that it is not a matter of rejecting capitalism but rather of allowing more entrepreneurs into the economy.
We have long argued that the American model for development assistance could improve dramatically if entrepreneurship becomes a stronger element of economic development efforts. Unfortunately, the importance of new firm creation is a concept that has yet to gain relevance in traditional development models, such as the Washington Consensus. However, there are a few actors who understand the power of entrepreneurship and have been using it to improve lives. Diaspora entrepreneurs are using their experience and understanding about entrepreneurship to invest in new ventures in their country of origin. These transnational entrepreneurs view a globe of porous borders.
When President Obama will deliver his first State of the Union address is still unclear. However, with 80 percent of the population believing that new economic growth and jobs will come from entrepreneurs, discussion around what his address should include in terms of policies that encourage new start-ups is already underway.
So we know that entrepreneurs are the primary engines of job creation in the United States. Research study after research study has confirmed that it is young firms that drive improvements in the employment situation. From 1980–2005, firms less than five years old accounted for all net job growth in the country. In 2007 alone, young firms (1-5 years old) accounted for nearly two-thirds of job creation. We also know more than half of the companies on the 2009 Fortune 500 list were launched during a recession or bear market, along with nearly half of the firms on the 2008 Inc. list of America's fastest-growing companies. In light of all this evidence and in face of the employment crisis in the country, how can we truly support the entrepreneurs behind these young firms?

Windhoek — The decision on how to harvest water from the huge aquifer discovered in the northern part of the country, could take as long as six years.
This is because there is still a lot of technical work outstanding to determine whether the aquifer, discovered some 300 metres beneath a part of northern Namibia, is economically viable to pursue.
"A lot of work has still to be done. [We] do not know the extent of the aquifer, maybe it is extending to Angola. We might come up with big plans, while there is no water, or not plan well, while there is a lot of water," Under Secretary in the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry, Abraham Nehemia, said at a media briefing on Monday this week. Technical work could take as long as six years to complete, he said.
The underground aquifer was recently discovered, which scientists have named Ohangwena II.
The aquifer is estimated to be large enough to supply the northern regions of the country with fresh water for the next 400 years. Scientists have dated the water body to be as old 10 000 years, but with cleaner water for drinking than many modern sources.
However, there are concerns that unauthorised drilling could threaten the new supply.
An aquifer is a body of saturated rock through which water can easily move. It is both permeable and porous and includes such rock types as sandstone, conglomerate, fractured limestone and unconsolidated sand and gravel.
Sources and quantities of water in northern Namibia are variable, with either too much of it or too little, depending on the area.

One of the ways we show respect for children is by enhancing their developmental opportunities. By investing in their development, we are signaling that we believe in them and see them as capable and competent. It is tempting to focus on easily recognized academic skills, but the importance of social and emotional development cannot be underestimated. The National Research Council has concluded that attitudes toward learning that children acquire during early childhood are inexplicably linked to their learning and success later in life.
In addition, a variety of research studies focusing on the perceptions of kindergarten teachers, report that positive social and emotional skills at kindergarten entry are as important to school success as specific academic skills.
In these studies, kindergarten teachers emphasize the importance of:
Other social and emotional abilities often linked to school success include:
Research indicates that children who frequently exhibit these skills are likely to be those who take responsibility for their own learning and show high levels of interest and ownership in learning.
There is a great deal teachers can do to help support children's developing social and emotional capabilities. Take an active part in your child's early childhood education to ensure that their child care provider will:

Everyone knows that vegetable gardening is more popular today than ever before. But, we usually discuss this subject in the context of the backyard garden. That isn't always fair to the growing number of Floridians who live in apartment, condominium and mobile home parks, places where there's little to no backyard to be had.
Just because you don't have a big yard and lots of room, doesn't mean you can't grow vegetables. In fact, the home gardener who gets emotionally involved with a strawberry barrel, or half-dozen tomato plants, probably has more fun than anybody else. My information was provided by Extension's Emeritus Vegetable Specialist Jim Stephens of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
In addition to being an enjoyable activity, mini-gardening can be practical and ornamental. Containers can fit almost anywhere in the landscape, on potions, porches, and balconies, even on roof tops.
Depending on the types of vegetables you plan to grow, there's practically no limit to the kinds of containers you can use. Old pots and pans, milk jugs, hollow concrete blocks, bushel baskets, trash cans, barrels and drums and even plastics bag have all been used. Just be sure the container will hold the soil in, and let excess water drain out.
Once you have a container and have decided what to grow, it's time to think about a growing medium. Of course you can plant in ordinary gardens oil or a prepared soil mix. With a container garden you also can consider soil substitutes things like mushroom compost or wood shavings. If you plant in a lightweight soil substitute, it will be easier to move the container, should that become necessary.
A good choice is a growth medium mode of one bushel of vermiculite, a bushel of peat moss, one-and-a-quarter cups of dolomite, and a cup of 8-8-8 fertilizer, with trace elements all mixed thoroughly. You could also use a bushel of sand or garden soil mixed with a bushel of peat, cow manure, or well-decomposed compost. Either way, you need the dolomite and fertilizer. These mixtures with plenty of organic matter and some fertilizer don't need extra fertilizer very often. Every week or two should be adequate. You can drench with a fertilizer solution, or spread common dry fertilizer on the soil surface and water it thoroughly into the root zone. Just don't apply too much, or you may cause fertilizer burn.
If you choose a more porous growth medium, such as sand or gravel, which will dry out faster and won't hold nutrients very long you'll need to water and fertilize more often. Normally, you should drench the container with a fertilizer solution once or twice a day as money as five times a day, if it's especially hot and dry.
If you haven't tried your hand at any form of vegetable garden before, you may be wondering what crop or crops do best in containers. Most any crop will do well in containers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants collards, cabbage, turnips, mustard, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower and herbs.
Please try container gardening as a hobby we honestly believe you'll enjoy both the activity and the tasty produce you grown.

Hopi Prophecy – Red Kachina, Blue Kachina
Hopi Blue Kachina/Red Kachina Prophecy
An ancient Hopi Prophecy states…when the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens the 5th world will emerge. This will be the day of Purification. It will come when the Saquasahuh (blue) Kachina dances in the plaza and takes off his mask.
In the final day we will look up in the heavens and we will witness the return of the two brothers who helped create this world in the birthing time.
Poganghoya is the guardian of our North Pole and his brother Palongawhoya is the guardian of the South Pole.
In the final days the Blue Star Kachina will come to be with his nephew and they will return the Earth to its natural rotation which is anti-clockwise.
The twins will be seen in our northwestern skies and they will come to visit flying in their Patuwvotas (flying shields) to see who have remembered the original teachings. They will bring many of their star family with them in the final days. The return of the Blue Kachina who is also known as Nan Ga Sohu will be the forewarning that tells us there will soon be a new day, new way of life and a new world coming.
They will start as fires that will burn within us, we will burn up with desires and conflict if we do not remember the original teachings and return to the peaceful way of life.
Not far behind will come the Purifies, the Red Kachina who will bring the day of Purification. On this day the Earth, her creatures and all life as we know it will be offered a chance to change forever. There will be messages that proceed the coming of the Purifier. They will leave messages to those on Earth that remember the old ways.
The messages will be found on the living stone, through the sacred grains and even the waters. From the Purifier will issue forth a great Red Light. All things will change in their manner of being. Every living thing will be given the opportunity to change from the largest to the smallest living things.
Those who return to the ways given to us in the original teaching and live a natural way of life will not be touched by the coming of the Purifier. They will survive and build a new world, only in the ancient teachings will they have the ability to understand the messages to be found. It is important to understand these messages will be found on every living thing, even within our bodies, even within a drop of blood. Many will appear to have lost their souls in the final days. So intense will be the nature of these changes that those who are weak in spirit will go insane, for we are nothing without spirit. Only those who return to the values of the old ways will be able to find peace of mind. For in the Earth they will find relief from the madness that will be around us. Many people of this time will be empty in spirit for they have no Sampacu, no life force in their eyes.
As we get close to the time of the Purifier there will be many who walk like ghosts through their cities, through canyons they have constructed in their man made mountains. Those who walk through these places will be very heavy in their walk, it will appear almost painful as they take each step for they have become very disconnected from their spirit and the Earth. After the arrival of the twins they begin to vanish before your eyes so much like muck smoke. Others will have great deformities both in their mind and upon their bodies.
There will be those who walk in their body that are not from this reality for many of the gateways that once protected us will be opened, there will be much confusion. Confusion between the sexes, the children and their elders. Life will get very perverted and there will be little social order in these times. Many will ask for the mountains themselves to fall upon them and end their misery. Still others will appear untouched by what is occurring. those who remember the original teaching and have reconnected with their heart and spirit, those who remember who their mother and father are, the Pahana who left to live in the mountains and forest.
When the Purifier comes we will see him first as a small red star which will come very close and sit in our heavens watching us, watching to see how well we have remembered the sacred teachings. This Purifier will show us many miraculous signs in our heavens. In this we will know that our creator is not a dream. Even those who do not feel their connection to spirit will see the face of the creator across the sky. Things unseen will be felt strongly. Many things will begin to occur that do not make sense, for reality will be shifting back. We will receive many warnings allowing us to change our way, from below the Earth as well as above. Then one morning we will awaken to a Red Dawn. The sky will be the colour of blood and many things will begin to happen that right now we are not sure of their exact nature, for much of reality will not be as it is now.
There will be many strange beasts upon the Earth in those days, some from past and some that we have never seen. The nature of mankind will seem strange as we walk between worlds and we house many spirits even within our bodies. After a time we will again walk with our brothers from the stars and rebuild the Earth but not until the Purifier has left his mark upon the universe. No living thing will go untouched here or in the heavens.
The way through this time is said to be found in our hearts and reuniting with our spiritual self. Getting simple and returning to living with and upon the Earth in harmony with her creatures. Remembering we are the caretakers, the firekeepers of the spirit. Our relatives from the stars are coming home to see how well we have faired in our journey.
It is time to reconnect with your spirit and your Earth Mother.
Peace and blessings.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- September 21, 2000 -- Engineering educators from more
than 40 colleges and universities in the U.S. and abroad will meet with
representatives from several global corporations at the University of Rhode
Island on October 13-14 for the third annual Colloquium on International
Engineering Education.
The colloquium is designed to address the educational responses to the
needs of today's global workplace.
"Companies are desperately seeking engineers who are bilingual
and who have cross-cultural communication skills to deal with peers around
the world," said John Grandin, professor of German and director of
URI's International Engineering Program. "As a result, it's important
that engineering educators internationalize their programs."
The first two international engineering education conferences, also
held at URI, explored the current state of international engineering and
the existing educational programs in place preparing students for this growing
field. This year's conference will focus on issues being faced by current
practitioners and "where do we go from here?"
The keynote speaker for the event will be Dr. Hans Höller, vice
president of corporate recruiting and sourcing for Siemens AG in Munich,
Germany, who will provide an insiders point of view of the profile for engineering
education in the 21st century.
Other subjects to be discussed will include: study abroad opportunities,
internship programs, bilingual education, and preparing students to go overseas.
The results of a survey conducted by URI Professor Norbert Hedderich to
assess which institutions are involved in international engineering education
will also be released.
The meeting is sponsored by URI's International Engineering Program with
support from the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement
of Post Secondary Education.
URI is a leader in international engineering education, having established
its International Engineering Program in 1988. This program leads students
simultaneously to degrees in both engineering and German, French or Spanish.
In the fourth year of this five-year program students go abroad as interns
with engineering firms in Europe or Latin America and as exchange students
with partner universities.

BREAKING – AP's Matthew Lee, in Beirut: "Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met Sunday with Lebanon's president on [an unannounced] stop in Beirut ahead of a critical election that could see a pro-U.S. government ousted by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and its allies."
BREAKING – Bloomberg: "International health officials are wrestling with how to respond to a swine flu from Mexico that's infecting people, causing a range of illnesses, and even death. The World Health Organization called the outbreak a 'public health emergency of international concern,' and as many as 81 deaths in Mexico were linked to the virus, normally transmitted among pigs. Eleven cases in California, Kansas and Texas, all of them mild, have been connected as well. At least eight students in New York are being tested for whether they match the Mexico strain, while 10 students in New Zealand are 'highly likely' to have swine flu, officials said."

PUNDIT PREP – ABC's Gary Langer, on ABC News/Washington Post Poll: First 100 Days: "Seventy-two percent see Obama favorably overall, the highest at 100 days since Reagan's 81 percent in 1981. … Allegiance to the GOP has been declining since 2004; today just 21 percent of Americans identify themselves as Republicans, the fewest since September 1983 in ABC/Post polls."
Good Sunday morning. Michael Paese, now the executive vice president of global advocacy for the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, will soon head to Goldman Sachs to head its Washington office, per Politico's Chris Frates. The hiring of Paese is described by an insider as "the capstone in an effort to reformulate the Washington office." Paese will report to Faryar Shirzad, Global Head of the Office of Government Affairs. Under President George W. Bush, Shirzad was dual-hatted White House Deputy Assistant for International Economic Affairs and Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs.

FRANK RICH, illustrated with the Statue of Liberty wielding a cat-o' nine tails: "President Obama can talk all he wants about not looking back, but this grotesque past is bigger than even he is. It won't vanish into a memory hole any more than Andersonville, World War II internment camps or My Lai. The White House, Congress and politicians of both parties should get out of the way. We don't need another commission. We don't need any Capitol Hill witch hunts. What we must have are fair trials that at long last uphold and reclaim our nation's commitment to the rule of law." http://tr.im/jJEl
THE NEW YORKER'S Ryan Lizza, "Letter from Washington -- MONEY TALKS: Can Peter Orszag keep the President's political goals economically viable? Orszag can match Lawrence Summers in policy expertise, and has proved to be a subtle and persistent political player": http://tr.im/jJHG
"Orszag's colleagues characterize him as something of a policy Eagle Scout, always prepared. For two months, I watched and listened to him interact with dozens of reporters—in conference calls, press breakfasts, live TV appearances from the White House—and I have interviewed him half a dozen times this year. … On the floor of the private balcony outside his office he … found a pile of [Bush administration] cigarette butts and, in a planter, stubbed-out cigars. …
"White House officials disagreed about what constituted a tolerable level of deficit spending in the long term. Summers seemed to be most concerned about deficits; aides like Carol Browner, who is in charge of energy policy, and Melody Barnes, the head of the Domestic Policy Council, were less alarmed. 'They don't come from a background where the deficit numbers are necessarily the first thing that they think about,' a senior Administration official said. … Obama's budget assumes that, even after the recession passes, the government can live with deficits indefinitely. Obama could (and probably will) revisit this decision, but for now it represents a dramatic break with Clinton-era orthodoxy.
"The deficit spectre has loomed over every major debate. The most contentious issue has been health care. The Administration was divided into three camps. According to White House officials, a group including Vice-President Biden and David Axelrod, a senior adviser, and led by Summers was hesitant to make a major push on health care this year, especially given the fact that a full plan would cost roughly a trillion dollars over ten years. Then, there was Tom Daschle, the former South Dakota senator who was Obama's original choice to lead the health-care-reform team, and his staff at the White House and at the Department of Health and Human Services. In January, Daschle became alarmed that health care would be either absent from the Obama budget or not given the emphasis that Obama had promised. (When Daschle went to see Rahm Emanuel to register these concerns, the President, who had been quiet during the early health-care meetings, stopped by and reassured Daschle of his commitment.) [Jonathan Cohn homage!] Orszag came to the debate with a third option, which combined Summers's concern about deficits and Daschle's insistence that Obama tackle health care this year. He argued that health-care reform IS deficit reduction. …
"Obama's White House is filled with former members of Congress and congressional staffers. They are legislative strategists and dealmakers, and these days they often use the phrase 'grand bargain' when asked how they expect to achieve their ambitious agenda. [Stephanopoulos homage!] [A] senior White House official told me that they were exploring an energy deal that would include a 'serious' and 'short-term' increase in domestic production—perhaps opening up for oil exploration places like the waters off the coast of California—that would appease the 'Drill, baby, drill' crowd, while also adopting a cap-and-trade plan that could take effect one or two (or more) years after 2012, which is when Obama's current plan would start. 'You need to have something like T. Boone Pickens and Al Gore holding hands on a broad compromise,' the official said. Such a plan wouldn't look much like the one in Obama's budget proposal … but, unlike his current plan, it could get through Congress."

ABC's GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS made a whirlwind trip to Tehran early this week (he was back in the White House driveway by late Friday afternoon) for a news-making interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to air this morning on "This Week".
TOMORROW'S PAPERS TODAY: The president who promised to "wipe Israel off the map" agrees to support a two-state solution backed by Palestinians -- which would be acceptance, of course, of Israel's existence:
STEPHANOPOULOS: If the Palestinian people negotiate an agreement with Israel and the Palestinian people vote and support that agreement, a two-state solution, will Iran support it?
AHMADINEJAD: Nobody should interfere -- allow the Palestinian people to decide for themselves. … Whatever they decide. … It is the right of all human beings. … [W]hat we are saying is that you and us should not determine the course of things beforehand. Allow the Palestinian people to make their own decisions. … Can I ask you questions as well?
STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm not part of the American government. … If the Palestinians sign an agreement with Israel, will Iran support it?
AHMADINEJAD: Whatever decision they take is fine with us. We are not going to determine anything. Whatever decision they take, we will support that. We think that this is the right of the Palestinian people. However, we fully expect other states to do so as well -- the U.S. administration, European governments. The right to determine their fate by the Palestinians should be respected by all of them."
NBC's DAVID GREGORY interviewed Jordan's King Abdullah II on the "Meet the Press" set on Friday. Key passages of the interview, to air this morning:
GREGORY: Will the release of photographs of detained prisoners who are apparently abused … would that inflame the situation even more? Will it hurt the U.S. in the Middle East and beyond?
ABDULLAH: Obviously, any pictures, or any cases like that, will have a negative attitude internationally. But … I think President Obama has been very clear in his campaign, very clear from the start, that that is not tolerated. America is providing a new image of … how things should be done. And I think that the world has a belief in the president -- a lot of faith in what he has to say. Obviously, the pressure on the president is to deliver. But the carte blanche that you've started with is actually a pretty good one.
GREGORY: Do you think a nuclear problem in Iran is inevitable?
ABDULLAH: … If you solve the core issue of the Middle East, I think a lot of leaders will be sort of checking their calculators to see whether it's worth [it] to go down the military nuclear road.
GREGORY: And what do you think is the best way for the United States … to persuade Iran to back away from a nuclear program?
ABDULLAH: Solving the Israeli, Palestinian problem.
GREGORY: That's it?
ABDULLAH: That allows us to then solve the Israel, Arab, Muslim problem. … What we're doing is saying, … look, Israel, if you solve the Palestinian problem, if you allow us to solve the problems of Jerusalem, we all want to have peace with you.
100 DAZE – WashPost's Dan Balz: "As Nation's Mood Lifts, Can Obama Capitalize?: The most striking finding from the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll released today is the change in the public mood. Since Barack Obama was elected president in November, the pervasive gloom of 2008 has given way to a sense of hopefulness and considerably more optimism about the state of the country. How much of this change is directly attributable to Obama's leadership rather than the nascent signs of improvement will become fodder for the cable shows as the president's 100th day arrives this week. What's important is that he now enjoys the power of public confidence. He will need all the backing he can muster as he moves into what is likely to be an even more difficult phase of his presidency." http://tr.im/jJKp
--REPUBLICANS WILL LIKE – MORE GARY LANGER: "For all he and his supporters have to celebrate, overcoming political divisions – an Obama pledge – is not among them. His 69 percent job approval rating in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll is almost exactly the average for an elected president at 100 days in polls back to Dwight Eisenhower. But it belies a more modern partisan gap: Ninety-three percent of Democrats approve. Only 36 percent of Republicans agree."
--The N.Y. Post runs "100 DAYS, 100 MISTAKES," some of them comically inaccurate, some of them not mistakes, and some of them padding from the transition.
--DANA PERINO, to the N.Y. Post: "Has it really only been 100 days? In many ways it feels like a lot longer."
SHOT -- Robert Gibbs, on Pebble Beach, answering a question from CNN's Wolf Blitzer about what grade he would give the White House press corps for the first 100 days: ""I'd give them a strong A, Wolf. … You guys watch every day. There're tough questions each and every day and they're looking at and trying to find the stories in this administration. I think the job they have to do everyday is to get up and go to work ask tough questions and cover for the American people the job that this administration is doing. I think they're obviously doing a tough job particularly well."
CHASER: POLITICO's Michael Calderone, "Mixed grade for Gibbs from W.H. press": "'I guess it depends what your definition of the word 'transparent' is," said Chuck Todd, chief White House correspondent for NBC News. … 'So far, I actually feel like the Obama White House is treating the press with more respect than the campaign,' Todd said, adding that it was a 'myth' that the Obama campaign and traveling press corps had a great relationship. 'There's more access to these guys, weirdly enough, than during the campaign.' … Adds Wall Street Journal White House reporter Jonathan Weisman: 'I think by the press' definition, they have not been transparent at all.'"
ED ROLLINS KINDLES -- NYT SUNDAY STYLES: "SARA NELSON, the former editor of Publishers Weekly, was at a dinner party recently when Ed Rollins, the Republican campaign consultant, arrived carrying a Kindle. 'And I just said, "Can I see it?"' said Ms. Nelson, also the author of 'So Many Books, So Little Time.' 'In this honeymoon period of Kindle — when a lot of people don't have them — you can look to see what someone is reading, in the guise of looking at the hardware.' (For the record, Mr. Rollins's Kindle was crammed with the day's newspapers.) Ms. Nelson owns a Kindle and a Sony Reader."
SPORTS BLINK – L.A. Times A1: "SANCHEZ SKYROCKETS TO THE JETS." Newsday sports back: "MARK Madness."
NFL DRAFT ROUNDS 3-7 begin at 10 a.m. ET on ESPN – Opening rounds, from AP Football Writer Barry Wilner: "Matthew Stafford's mission is daunting: Lead the Detroit Lions back from the only 0-16 season in NFL history. Mark Sanchez has nearly as big a challenge: He'll compete to replace Brett Favre. The Lions found the centerpiece for one of the biggest rebuilding jobs in league history, taking Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford with the overall No. 1 pick in the draft Saturday. Detroit already had signed the 21-year-old Stafford to a six-year deal with $41.7 million in guarantees and a maximum value of $78 million. Stafford, who left school a year early, is not expected to start immediately. …
"Then the New York Jets rocked Radio City Music Hall by trading with Cleveland — and of all people, Eric Mangini, whom they fired as coach in January — for the fifth overall spot. The Jets took the other premier quarterback in the draft, Sanchez of Southern California. … Oddly, both drew plenty of boos and chants of 'OVERRATED' to go with the many cheers. … The first round of the draft took 3 hours, 23 minutes, far less than some of the interminable rounds of the past. The NFL clearly has speeded up the process by limiting teams to 10 minutes in the opening round, 7 minutes in the second, and 5 minutes in the other five rounds."
SI.com's Don Banks, "Inside the NFL": "Washington quarterback Jason Campbell is a winner, because the Redskins didn't get any trade for Sanchez done, meaning he gets to keep his starting job in D.C. … Green Bay nose tackle Ryan Pickett is a loser, because the Packers took Boston College's B.J. Raji to play that position. Pickett might be asked to shift to end in Green Bay's new 3-4, but he's not going to be their long-term man in the middle any more."
SI COVER JINX – AP: "USC'S 'BACKERS: The last of the USC linebackers picked on the first day of the NFL draft was the All-American. Middle linebacker Rey Maualuga, the most decorated of the Trojans' three highly touted linebackers, ended up going in the second round with the No. 38 pick to Cincinnati. … His teammates, Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews, were both first-rounders and there was speculation all three USC 'backers would go in the first round. Indeed, Sports Illustrated guaranteed it with a cover story this week. Cushing, considered the most versatile of the bunch, went No. 15 to the Houston Texans. Matthews, whose father and grandfather played in the NFL, went No. 26 to the Green Bay Packers. His uncle, Bruce Matthews, is a Pro Football Hall of Famer."
BUSINESS BURST – N.Y. Times off-lead, "After Off Year, Wall Street Pay Is Bouncing Back, " By Louise Story: "Workers at the largest financial institutions are on track to earn as much money this year as they did before the financial crisis began, because of the strong start of the year for bank profits. Even as the industry's compensation has been put in the spotlight for being so high at a time when many banks have received taxpayer help, six of the biggest banks set aside over $36 billion in the first quarter to pay their employees, according to a review of financial statements. If that pace continues all year, the money set aside for compensation suggests that workers at many banks will see their pay — much of it in bonuses — recover from the lows of last year. … Of the large banks receiving federal help, Goldman Sachs stands out for setting aside the most per person for compensation. The bank, which nearly halved its compensation last year, set aside $4.7 billion for worker pay in the quarter. If that level continues all year, it would add up to average pay of $569,220 per worker — almost as much as the pay in 2007, a record year."
DESSERT – L.A. Times A1, "In a digital age, vinyl albums are making a comeback: Sales of such albums were up 89% in 2008, which has fueled a mini-boom in neighborhood record stores in L.A. At least one member of the Who seems to approve," By August Brown: "After CDs first hit the U.S. market in 1983, LPs were deemed largely obsolete. Later, consumers' shift to file-trading and online retail outlets such as iTunes and Amazon.com gutted the storefront music business. Between 2003 and last year, more than 3,000 record stores closed in the U.S., including such Los Angeles landmarks as Tower Records on the Sunset Strip. Independent shops such as Rhino Westwood and Aron's Records in Hollywood accounted for nearly half the losses, according to the Almighty Institute of Music Retail, a database and marketing firm.
"Today, there are 185 record stores in the L.A. area, down from 259 at the beginning of 2007. But as mass marketing of LPs faded, some listeners began rediscovering vinyl. It's not just older fans who grew up with the decades-old format who attest to its tangible pleasures -- the arresting artwork, the labor of love that goes into flipping LP sides and the fact that many audiophiles say vinyl sounds better. Younger listeners raised on torrent files can see LPs as a kind of talisman too. … Of course, to play a record, you need a turntable -- and the market has responded with low-cost models that are more versatile than their earlier counterparts. Crosley Radio, for example, specializes in retro-styled record players sold in stores such as Target, Macy's and Urban Outfitters. Its basic model retails for less than $80; for a little more, there's a version with a USB port that allows music to be uploaded to a computer. (In addition, many LPs come with free digital download cards.)

Swine flu, the latest potential scourge of the human race, is normally only transmitted between pigs. Isn't it odd that it's attacking schoolkids, instead of concentrating on Wall Street Execs, where it would be doing some good?
That 'god', he do work in mysterious ways!
One of the reasons Ford Motor Company is, understandably, reluctant to operate in a profitable manner, is that if it shows a profit, it will have to pay taxes. If it pays taxes, it's tax money will be given to help it's major competitor, General Motors, which seems rather unfair. If you were Ford, what would you do?
Not to mention that a big chunk of it's tax dollars, those not used to help GM, would be given to the BIg Banks to use to pay bonuses to their Execs, the very greedy SOB's responsible for the economic debacle that's a primary cause of the decline in the purchase of automobiles. No wonder Ford says, 'Pi**-Off', to profits.
If the Big Three US automakers built their products the way the Big Five 'Financial Industry' members build their 'Products', folks would be buying cars with rubber pistons and crankshafts, and forged steel octagonal tires, with square steering wheels that faced to the rear, 'windows' made of cardboard, and that would be expected to be powered by periodically stopping to shout b******t into the fuel tank, because gasoline would be too dangerous to use in a vehicle that used candles for headlights and tail lights.
Won't it be great when this Thursday comes, the 100th day of the Obama administration, when Barack will lean back and relax, and give his administration the rest of the year off, having accomplished all there is to do? And what a relief for the rest of us, not to have to put up each day with all the f**king stupid, conflicting 'Views', and 'Opinions',of all the babbling boobs on the Tube (Not You, YouTube), of what the government has and has not done, which criticism is generated by those who have difficulty deciding which shoe goes on which foot each morning, and which is the 'front', and which is the 'a**'-end of their thongs.
Especially on days like todays, Sundays, when the riotously, ridiculousy self-important 'journalists' like the kid hosting MTP, waste a whole hour reading their scripts, leavened only occasionally by the wit and sarcasm of the occasional guest who realizes and enjoys the farce in which he/she is participating.
The same logic that proposes that we should only 'look forward', and 'not backward', on the tortures commited by the NeoConZionist administration of The Dummy, will save us a lot of time and money if applied across the board.
For instance, no sense investigating homicides to find out 'whodunit', why, that's the past, and we wouldn't want to hold a murderer 'accountable'. Same goes for 7-11 robberys, schoolyard mass-assassinations, lynchings, gay bashings and burnings, etc. And think of all the savings in no longer having to study, write, read or store books about history. Every day a bright new day, with nothing that went before to be concerned about. Sort of like a mass amnesia, or alzheimers.
And we wouldn't have to listen to the CrazyChristianEvangeicalFundamentalistBornAgainWhackos quote from the bible as their 'Rule of Law', and declare their faith in 'god' is the One, the Only Truth, because all that crap is in the 'past'.
And it would sure stop all their discontent with evolution, since they, and the whole race, would be newborn each day
Re: Starbucks environmental sensitivity: On Starbucks' new interactive website, you can actually scan into the restrooms and view, in great detail, the totally GREEN scum that accumulates around their toilet bowls.
Californians, upset about the prospect of beginning new oil drilling off the California coast, even 'just temporarily', have proposed an alternative: A multitude of California's Gays, newly unemployed and thus homeless, have taken to fornicating and sodomizing enmass in the fabled California surf, for privacy, as well as the enhanced rhythm.
A leading Silicone Valley technical firm has proposed attaching transducers, on a voluntary basis at first, to the a**es and other genitalic parts of the sexually-active Gays. Transducers will convert the mechanical motion of the f**kering Gays to electricity, which can be cabled to shore, and thus, either directly into the electrical power grid, or into lithium battey rechargers for hybrid and electric cars and golf carts.
According to Bill Gates, 'If we can get enough Gays to participate in this stimulus effort, and make transducer attachment mandatory, we can produce the equivalent of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of offshore oil rigs. In fact, not to be too optimistic, but one could forsee a future, if we can get straights as well as gays involved, then we can convert our corn fields back to producing food, instead of ethanol, which could solve the world's hunger problem'.
Imagine, 'Will F**k For Food', as the slogan of the new generation of the Homeless.

These nightstands are made of Cherry that has been ebonized.
The drawers are made of solid Maple to make a great contrast when the drawer is opened. I then worked with my customers to design handles (pulls) that suited the piece. A lot of people that have a contemporary house are a little worn of the stainless steel hardware and are looking for something custom and different. That is were the mind starts to open and come up with something clean yet different. The handles are made of solid Zebrawood with solid ebony inlay.
Thanks for looking!

FOLLOWING a patient rebuilding exercise spanning over three years, national rugby sevens coach Gilbert "Gidza" Nyamutsamba believes 2013 will be the year they will finally turn on the corner.
The Sevens are looking at making an impact on the international stage next year, but their coach has pleaded for patience from their fans.
Nyamutsamba was crowned 2012 Coach of the Year at the Annual National Sportspersons Awards last week and his technical exploits also led to the Cheetahs winning the Team of the Year award.
"I promise that results will come because we have a number of young players in our side and all I am asking for is for some fans to be patient, I know they want results and everyone does.
"But we cannot always be good at every tournament. However, next year we have to be at our peak given that most of our players will be on contracts starting January and we have to make it as a core member and also play well at the World Cup," said the former Sables winger.
In the year the Cheetahs qualified for the World Cup for the second consecutive time after taking part at the 2009 edition of the games in Dubai, Zimbabwe were largely in mixed fortunes.
To show Nyamutsamba's character, the former Cheetahs gas-man was only appointed as coach of the side this year and led his victory in the Africa Cup tournament, which also doubled up as the World Cup qualifier.
However, the Cheetahs started the year on a low note after failing to make it for the International Rugby Board World Series core membership in Hong Kong after losing to Portugal in the semi-final.
In Morocco the Sables managed to pick themselves up, got their act together to win the Africa Cup and qualify for the world stage without losing a game in a qualifier tournament that was held in Rabat.
And two weeks ago, they travelled to South Africa for the Port Elizabeth leg of the Sevens World Series where they beat Scotland in the Shield semi-final in what was their only win of the tournament.
Nyamutsamba reckons that he is able to deliver not only for the Cheetahs but to make sure that the game rises in Zimbabwe.
"Imagine we are an amateur side and we play against professional sides, we play in fewer tournaments but as much as we don't get the result we are able to compete and we mostly have close scores against the likes of Australia.
"It is good that we are able to compete and so we have to take it a step higher now, get our conditioning right and that we have managed to get contracts for the players is going to make a huge difference.
"We are obviously going to face challenges but we have to overcome them because its is not just about the skill level but getting a decent meal, go for practice and gym sessions and follow a set fitness and conditioning programme will help us against the professional sides."
However, Nyamutsamba knows that since taking over from British based coach Liam Middleton this year his greatest achievement was qualifying for the Sevens World Cup set for Moscow, Russia in six months time.
"It was a great honour coming out firstly as the Team of the Year, and of course as Coach of the Year and it was mostly because I have a great and dedicated team of both players and management who share the same vision.
"But believe me this is just to show that it is work in progress we have a big year ahead of us with the core member ship qualifiers before the World Cup as we are also going to take part in the Hong Kong Sevens and our own Spar International Sevens.
"Our target is to play and perform well both the (World Series) qualifiers and at the World Cup. Of course we missed on being a core member this year but we have another big chance in May next year.
"And the reasons I believe that we are going to make it is that we are going to start our preparation early because of the contracts it is actually going to be a five-month preparation for the qualifiers and six for the World Cup.
"And our performance here will have an impact on all versions of the game in Zimbabwe because it will filter up to the XVs (Sables) and we usually go into camp for a few days but I have proposed that we be together for at least two weeks before any major tournament," Nyamutsamba said.
Nyamutsamba feels that he cannot be at his best as coach confined to Zimbabwe and he believes that going for a technical attachment abroad would help him improve his skills as a coach for the betterment of the Cheetahs.
Early this year Sables coach Brandon Dawson and his assistant Cyprian "Supa" Mandenge each got a chance to learn from the experts in South Africa with Dawson travelling to Stellenbosch near Cape Town while Mandenge was at the Sharks.
Nyamutsamba feels a similar move would help not only him but Zimbabwe in getting more competitive on the international stage.
"That is very useful and important. I have discussed the issue with the Cheetahs committee (led by chairman Donald "Brasco" Mangenje), it's at an advanced stage because they also understand the need of such programmes."
And Nyamutsamba feels that the future of the Cheetahs is bright as they have a largely youthful squad and a few players who are edging towards the 30-year-old mark.
"Say we have a squad of 16 players for the World Cup just around five of them in the mould of Fortune Chipendu, captain Jacques Leitao, Daniel Hondo, Wensely Mbanje, Gardner Nechironga might not be around in the next two years.
"Most of the players are quite young and these include the likes of Justin Coles, Jonathan McWade, Tafadzwa Chitokwindo and we have recently roped in Tapiwa Tsomondo who had his first tournament in PE recently.
"There is also the likes of Lucky Sithole, Kilvan Magunje and Japhet Ndebele and though not as young will be able to carry us though."
Nyamutsamba hinted he is going to name his World Cup side soon with the coach having to use the Spar International Sevens, and the Hong Kong tournaments as his biggest test measures.

ST. MARYS – The Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal, St. Marys City Police Department and the Crystal Fire Department report investigating the origin and cause of a fire that occurred at 11:32 p.m. on Monday, July 9, 2012 at the residence of Michael Scolari, 333 N. St. Marys St., St. Marys. The fire destroyed a 1999 Coleman camping trailer parked in the driveway of the residence. The cause of the fire was determined to be arson and remains under investigation. Damage is estimated at $6,000. There were no injuries.
FOX TWP. - "It turned out to be a fiasco," said Charles Bloam III, tax collector for the City of St. Marys, in describing the realization of Pennsylvania's Act 32 requiring counties to consolidate the collection of earned income tax (EIT) to a single collector.
The recent breakdown of the county's contract with CENTAX, the firm contracted to collect and disburse earned income tax to local municipalities and school districts, has highlighted difficulties associated with the state's Act 32 legislation.
ST. MARYS - Adult Day Services, a Community Nurses-licensed facility, located at 625 Maurus St., will be holding a bake sale on Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. in an effort to encourage members of the community to come and check out the facility.

STATE SAYS THEY WANT TO HELP CANADIAN DRUG PROVIDERS-Andrew Stelzer
As weââ¬â¢ve been reporting here on WMNF, the last week the Florida Department of health sent warnings sent to a dozen Florida businesses that fax customers drug prescriptions to Canada, so that the customers can buy more affordable drugs. The cease and desist letters warned the store fronts, most of which have nothing but a counter and a fax machine, that they would be closed down if they did not comply with state laws and register to operate as pharmacies. The public, especially senior citizens, reacted strongly to the warnings; thousands of Floridians rely on drugs from Canada to survive, as they can not afford the high prices of medications in the United States. In response to angry phone calls and emails, John Agwunobi, the State Secretary of health announced that his intent is not to shut these businesses down, but to help them get the proper permits so that they can conduct business legally. WMNF spoke with Secretary of Health Agwunobi this afternoon; he said that the public may be confusing the issue of stores needing a mail order pharmacy licenseââ¬âwhich is a state issue, with the fact that the importation of drugs from Canada is illegal itselfââ¬âbut that is a federal issue that has nothing to do wit the recent cease and desist orders.
The state is setting up a website to help storeowners through the process, which can be accessed by loging onto www.myflorida.com; the state is also encouraging storeowners to call the state department of health. George Donnelly, owner of Canada Drugs of Spring Hill, is one of 20 Tampa Bay area Canadian drug provider storeowners who met on Monday to discuss the threat to their businesses. Donnelly says he is cautiously optimistic about the announcement of apparent helpfulness by the state department of health.

Hitachi PI-500 starboard drivers
Just throwing it out there in case this helps somebodies search. I just bought one of these old Hitachi PI-500 starboard tablet monitors and had a heck of a time finding drivers that worked with Win7-64bit. But found them at thepandacity.com for the Yinova tablets they sell. This is the driver, 20110308_Driver V4.12.exe. I was lucky and recognized the pen it uses, same tech has obviously been licensed a LOT!
Still not as good as a Wacom Cintiq that I took to work. But better than not having anything at home to draw on!!! :0

Not worth it very cheap

I have to agree - VERY light duty only
By Curtis
from Everett, Wa
HF missed with this one. I am usually very happy with my HF purchases, but my clamps can't even hold wood for cutting or drilling as you cannot apply enough pressure to hold the parts together. Something inside 'strips' or wears and they become virtually useless.Just to note, I am very careful with my tools and never apply excessive force.

Very Light Duty Work Only
By Woodchuck
from Missouri
Good price on a light duty clamp. Do not expect to use them for edge gluing. The clamp pads slip off the clamp easily and with normal pressure, the clamp head snaps.

Hobby Clamp.
By revel8or
from Hamilton, OH
Well, I'm always a sucker for giving cheap stuff a shot, regardless of how long a shot it might be.If these are used for way light duty stuff, like clamping large styrofoam projects, then they'll do fine. You might even be able to use them to clamp some really large pieces of balsa together. Don't try to use them for any serious application.The bars are flexible like a plastic bendy doll. Any pressure exerted by the clamp causes the bar to bend. The clamps are made of plastic. When under pressure they flex just as much as a politician during an election cycle. They have a grip mechanism to tighten and a small button to press when releasing the clamp. Tightened to a reasonable amount forces the mechanism to almost jam, which means a lot of pressure on the release button is required to remove the clamp.Really, as large as these clamps are, you'd think that they would work for something large, but no, they don't. I tried to clamp two 2x4s, face to face. They wouldn't bring the ends of the boards together (1/32nd of an inch difference) without skewing at various places.Avoid these if you are thinking about woodworking. Buy these as a joke for a friend that's into woodworking after talking them up for like a month...
Not good minus no stars
By Scalawag
from VA
Got 2 of these and man are the bad. I would have been better off spending three time as much for the problems trying to use them caused.
One star too much
By ctwood
from CT
Not if, when it will break. Not worth it no matter how cheap. No clamp pressure.
Bought two for light wood projects
By woodhouse
from Flat Rock, MI.
Im going to try and buy a shorter clamp and replace the clamping mechanism, tried several internal fixes and none worked, of you have a dremel and are mechanically inclined you can shave down the top plastic stop and put a sharp angle on the metal piece with the thumb release.
Stay away from this clamp
By Grandpa rich
from Austin, Texas
Mechanism snaps very easily. I purchased several of this HB clamp in different lengths and every one has snapped. I have other clamps of this style and have used them for years.
Doesn't Work
By LaMesan
from San Diego
I can't believe Harbor Freight does not test it's products. I bought two to work on door, applied glue, attached these fine clamps and they would just slip every time I squeezed the handle, couldnt even get five lbs. of force out of them. Ruined my project as glue was fast acting. What a bad Joke, come on Harbor Freight!

Save your money
By MarkP
from Newark, DE
I bought this to help keep joists straight while building a deck. Unfortunately, this is not the right product. There are numerous problems. First, it doesn't clamp very tightly. Second, if you try to ratchet too much, the handle starts to buckle and appears to want to come apart. It can take only a light amount of pressure. This would only be useful for very, very light duty projects, maybe like gluing, but even then I would opt for something that actually holds better. Save your money and buy something else.

North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services
******Alert #264******
Task Force member John Maron of the Securities Division, NC Department of the Secretary of State, shares the following joint anouncement by NC Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall and US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina, Anne M. Tompkins:
On February 24, 2011, NC Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall joined U.S. Attorney Anne M. Tompkins and Joseph S. Campbell, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI, Charlotte Division, in announcing that Bryan Keith Noel, 41, of Hendersonville, NC and Alexander Klosek, 33, of Etowah, NC were sentenced in U.S. District Court in Asheville to serve terms of imprisonment and ordered to pay restitution in connection with their involvement in a Hendersonville-area business known as Certified Estate Planners, Inc.
Noel and Klosek were charged separately in U.S. District Court in 2009 with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and other crimes, in connection with a fraudulent investment business started by Noel in 1999 to solicit investors and to offer estate planning services geared toward retirees.
The case arose from a fraud investigation conducted by agents of the Securities Division of the Office of the North Carolina Secretary of State and the Charlotte Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Noel, who was tried by a federal jury and found guilty in March 2010 received a sentence of 25 years imprisonment and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of approximately $11 million to his victims. Klosek, who entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, received a sentence of 87 months imprisonment and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of approximately $10.5 million to his victims.
According to official court documents, from around January 2003 until about July 2006, in Henderson County, Noel and others solicited over 100 clients, mostly local retirees, to invest large sums of their savings with Noels business, Certified Estate Planners, Inc. According to testimony and evidence offered during Noels criminal trial in February and March 2010, Noel and Klosek, without the investors knowledge, diverted several million dollars, assets belonging to the clients of Certified Estate Planners, Inc., to a start-up lumber composite company of Noels.
This activity significantly decreased the value of the clients investments. Noel and Klosek then continually misrepresented the value of the clients assets to them on their quarterly statements in order to conceal from investors the true diminished value of their assets. Not only were the investors deceived about the diminished value of their assets, they were lied to by Noel and Klosek, who told them by July 2006 that their assets had grown to a total of approximately $16 million. According to trial testimony and evidence, the clients assets had dwindled at that time to only about $1 million. Noel filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in August 2007. Noel was found guilty on two counts of making a false oath in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding, along with 25 separate counts of mail fraud and a single count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Klosek pled guilty, as charged, to one count alleging conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud.

The article "Far out forecasting" by Robert Matthews (Features, 12 October, p 37) seems to accept in a rather uncritical way the reality of statistical forecasting of events that are rare, such as damaging floods.
For example, he reports that Dutch workers have applied extreme value theory to estimate the height of sea wall needed to withstand "one-in-10 000-year" floods.
Is this credible? The past 10 000 years spans the Holocene period of earth history. During this time, there were major changes in the amount and distribution of monsoon rains, related to slow changes in the planetary orbit. As a result, lakes developed in what is now the hyperarid Sahara.
In the next 10 000 years, such orbital changes will, of course, continue. On top of that are the potentially larger environmental changes wrought by people, such as the enhanced greenhouse effect. One of the possible effects ...

Mountain lion tracks and coyote spotted on local hikes
By Gary Bogue
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011 at 5:58 am in coyotes, Mountain lion.
Mountain lion paw print next to human hand. Photo by Anne Jarmuz, Pleasanton, CA
On Thursday, June 23, in the morning, I was on a hike with East Bay Casual Hiking Group out of Castle Rock Regional Rec. Area. We hiked to Borges Ranch Interpretive Center. As we were leaving the center, we say a coyote on the hillside. He was being dive-bombed by many birds. He must have been in their nesting area. He wasn't at all bothered by the birds or us as we walked by.
Then on June 29, after the June 28 rain, I was hiking the north end of the Pleasanton Ridge. … I passed many very clear footprints on the trail. Could they have been a mountain lion? They were quite large, one image compares to my hand, and I have large hands. There were no nails and it looked like they were following deer tracks.
Anne Jarmuz, Pleasanton, California
Coyotes will often sniff their way through fields where birds (usually blackbirds) are nesting in large numbers, trying to locate the nests by smell so they can eat bird eggs and/or babies. The birds know this and will rage and rant and dive and scream at the coyotes. The coyotes, unfortunately for the birds, are well aware that this is all posturing and the birds can't do anything to hurt them. As you say, they just ignore the birds.
Looks like a mountain lion print to me. Cat tracks leave no claw marks and it is the right size and shape. Mountain lions also pass through the area. You can Google a search for "mountain lion tracks." If you compare your photo to the ones you find there, you will see that they match. http://bit.ly/n1TYUj Pretty neat! /Gary

Burn ban in Benton County
Posted: June 26, 2012 at 3:45 p.m.
Benton County officials issued a red flag burn ban Tuesday.
"Due to current conditions and the lack of recent precipitation we felt this to be a necessary step," Marc Trollinger, Benton County Fire Marshal, stated in a news release. "The red flag burn ban allows us to monitor conditions and issue a ban on open burning one day at a time."
On days when unsafe or unfavorable burning conditions exist the county will issue this type of burn ban, and no open burning will be allowed in the unincorporated areas of the county, the release stated. For more information, call Trollinger 479-271-1004.

Welcome to FanPageCash.org (FPC)

We pay top dollar for your fan pages (or accounts) and payout the very next day upon approving the sale. If you like to find out more about our organization please continue reading.
What is FPC?
FanPageCash.org is a great way to turn your facebook pages, Instagram, Vines, Twitter and Youtube accounts into cash !! Do you have a viral fanpage / group / account? Do you have an old page you are not maintaining anymore? Strapped for cash and need some instant income? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you came to the right place. FPC will purchase any facebook fanpage, group, or even large FB accounts (3,000 or more friends). FPC provides a safe marketplace for buying/selling fanpages and/or groups. FPC will purchase facebook pages/groups from any country and any language. It does NOT matter how funny/stupid/sad/offensive your page is. We started almost 4 years ago and originally we only dealt with facebook fanpages, but we have since expanded to Twitter, Instagram & Vine accounts. We're NOT in the business of selling or buying fake / bot filled pages / accounts like 1000's of other providers on the web. We have never, ever sold a single bot / click farm generated page / account. We provide nothing other than the real deal. There is a reason we sell out quick and availability is always low, it's because we buy and sell top shelf social media accounts.
FPC also buys/sells:
- Websites
- Viral Mini-Sites
- Popular Vine Accounts (NEW)
- Popular Instagram Accounts (NEW)
- YouTube Accounts (1000+ subscribers)
- FaceBook Applications
- Twitter Accounts
If you have a popular web 2.0 property, facebook fanpage/group, Youtube or Twitter accounts please contact our sales department by clicking here. Please allow 12 hours for a reply. We value your privacy and we NEVER call / solicit / sell or share your personal information. All sales are done via e-mail or by a simple phone call.
Why does FanPageCash.org purchase these types of sites/pages/accounts?
FPC is an online advertising group, specializing in social media marketing. We use your purchased fanpages/sites/accounts to generate traffic/leads for our clients. If we cannot find a suitable client for a specific fanpage, we will generally re-sell the page to a different marketing firm (for a small profit)
How much can I sell my fanpage/group for?
There is no set price list as there are many variables that come into play. For example, an US based fanpage will sell for much more than a German based fanpage. Geographic location, age group, page type, amount of fans/likes/followers greatly affect the bottom line. We provide FREE / no obligation quotes, and upon approval, we pay out the very next day. To see the latest purchases/sales made by FPC click here.
To get a free appraisal on your fanpage click here.
Will I lose my facebook account when I sell my page/group?
Absolutely not! You can transfer the ownership of a fanpage/group to any other member with full admin rights without losing your main account. You get to keep your account with full profile + all your friends. Nothing will change other than the ownership of one of your pages. This is only the case with facebook, as other social platforms require that you give up your account completely.
Are you affiliated with Facebook?
No. FPC / FanPageCash.org / SKYNET, Inc. is NOT associated with facebook.com
What methods of payment do you accept?
We buy/sell pages using PayPal.com to avoid scams. If you are underage and do not have a PayPal account special arrangements can be made. We offer various payouts to people without accounts such as:
- Visa Gift Cards
- Amazon Gift Cards
- Western Union
- Cash by mail
FPC staff will work with you to make sure you get your payout. Due to multiple fraud attempts sellers NOT using PayPal will be required to hand over the page (or account) before a payment is issued. We encourage anyone without PayPal to sign up today at http://www.PayPal.com. Its a fast, easy and secure way to transfer money online.
Aren't you just a unecessary middleman? Why can't just I list my account / fanpage on a classified site or open forum?
No. The buffer between buyers and sellers is needed to protect interests of both parties. Social media giants constantly monitor websites that buy / sell accounts out in the open. For example, PageHogs.com was a popular, Craigslist like website for buying / selling fanpages and social media accounts. Facebook monitored the whole website for months, kept track on what was being listed, and once they had enough data they deleted every single fanpage / account associated with the site. Just recently FameSwap, another OPEN community got hit the same way, the facebook raid included over 46 million deleted fans and thousands of accounts erased. If you ever listed your account / fanpage for sale anywhere else in the open public we're not even interested in buying it. We keep our community closed for a reason, and we screen both buyers and sellers. We are THE safest place to buy & sell social media accounts.
