SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- This time a year ago, Oregon running back Kenjon Barner was dodging more questions ahead of the Rose Bowl about whether or not he would return for his senior season than about the opposing defense. This year, it's been all football. Barner ultimately took a gamble on one more season at Oregon and is now seeing a payoff even greater than he thought possible. "I couldn't have imagined that the time I spent at Oregon would go as well as it did and that I would learn as much as I did," Barner said. "Oregon's been good to me." Barner has been as good to Oregon as the school has been to him. The Riverside, Calif., native will leave Eugene as the second-leading rusher in Ducks history, with 3,480 career yards currently. He's been part of four BCS games and this season has compiled 1,624 yards and 21 touchdowns to help Oregon go 11-1 and reach Thursday night's Fiesta Bowl. Things might have gone a bit differently this season for Oregon had Barner decided to cut his ...

Ayurdevic Herbal Treatment for Weight Loss

Weight Loss Herbs
Ayurveda for Weight Loss
You will be surprised how effective ayurvedic treatments are for burning fat and promoting weight loss. This effectiveness of ayurvedic medicines and herbs has been time tested over thousands of years and today is widely used even by mainstream medical establishments. Below I will detail for you how ayurvedic herbs and therapies to help you burn fat and lose weight and give you many tips on how to incorporate this wonderful wisdom into your life to promote healthy, safe and permanent weight loss.
How Ayurveda Helps with Weight Loss:
Ayurveda, as explained in the Introduction to Ayurveda article, is based on tridosha system of body composition. This system of vata, pitta and kapha then form the bases of all ayurvedic remedies and treatments. For weight loss specifically the kapha system is the primary focus, as excess weight and fat is a reflection of an increase in kapha dosha. So ayurdeva's target with regard to helping you lose weight and burn fat is to reduce kapha in your system. Remember Kapaha properties are as follows: Wet, Cold, Heavy, Dull, Soft, Sticky & Fixed. So ayurvedic herbs and treatments will look to combat these properties and reduce their quantity in your system. You will find that as kapaha is reduced so is your weight. There are many different ways ayruvedic herbal remedies and treatments will approach this challenge, and below I will outline for you several effective therapies that should become part of your weight loss regiment. The best thing about all these treatments is that they are all natural, completely safe and have no side affects.
1. Ayurvedic Diet for Weight Loss:
Although ayurvedic herbals remedies are very powerful for promoting weight loss, it is important to complement your weight loss program with proper diet as well. Below are the details for what a proper weight loss diet should consist of:
General Diet Composition to Lose Weight & Burn Fat (Kapha Reduction)
- 30-40% of your diet should be whole grains.
- 20-30% protein (from both vegetarian and non-vegetarian sources)
- 40-50% mostly vegetables and some fruit.
Specific Dietary Recommendations to Lose Weight & Burn Fat (Kapha Reduction)
- Since we are looking to reduce kapha in our body we should reduce the foods that increase kapha first. So looking at it from that perspective one should reduce fatty foods, dairy, ice cream, meats (specially red meat) etc.
- In the same way use the kapha qualities of cold to help you select your drinks. For instance drink hot drinks instead of cold ones. Drink teas, hot water, instead of cold sodas and milk shakes.
- The other way to promote weight loss and reduce kapha is to introduce the opposite qualities into your body. This is a primary way in which the ayurvedic herbal remedies will work, but you should also follow this thinking with regard to your general diet as well. Ginger, cinnamon, coriander and other hot spices will all work to help you reduce kapha, which is the key to reducing weight. The tastes you should shoot for in your diet are pungent, bitter and astringent. Foods with these tastes are all anti-Kapha and will assist in burning fat. The tastes you should generally avoid are sweet, sour and salty.
- Similarly increase salads, beans, dry cereals and cooked grains in your diet. Eating foods with vata and pitta qualities will increase those doshas in your body and will work against increasing Kapha.
- Finally eat only 1 big meal a day and avoid snacking as much as you can.
2. Ayurvedic Tips for Weight Loss:
In addition to following the dietary guidelines above the quick tips below should also become a part of your life as they will all help you reduce kapaha, thus help you lose weight and burn fat. Integrating this holistic approach along with the ayurdevic herbal medicines we will recommend below will make your weight loss program much more successful and lasting. After all one of the great challenges of losing weight is keeping it off, and making life style and dietary changes are the key to such long term success.
- Exercise more, but without excessive strain. The qualities of kapha are fixed, dull, soft, heavy and cold and guess what? Exercise is the opposite of all that! So really develop a good consistent exercise program and watch the fat melt away. Ayurveda is a sister science of Yoga and if you have not tried it, then using yoga to help with weight loss can be very good as well.
- In this day of sedentary jobs, you should incorporate hard physical work into your life. Take up gardening or other physical hobbies and that will really help combat the fat and excess weight as well.
- Ayurvedic Massage therapy using "hot" oils such as mustard are also very good in helping to reduce fat in the body.
- Sleep less and nap less so more calories are burned and you remain more active, thereby opposing the buildup of kapha and fat.
3. Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Weight Loss:
Finally, we come to the herbal remedies for weight loss section of this article. Here I will provide you with the very best product out there to help you achieve your weight loss goad naturally and safely. Please also note the dietary guidelines we have given above as well as the ayurvedic tips to help you burn fat and keep it off for the rest of your life. Herbal medicines can be very effective and the product below uses all the wisdom of ayurveda to create a treatment specifically to help you reduce kapha in your body and achieve successful weight loss. The product is called Yogic Slim and it has been created using all the thousands of years of ayurvedic know-how. Here are few highlights of this wonderful ayurvedic remedy:

building P-90 to someday move
I live on a double-wide, corner lot, which should give me ample room to build an oven, but the city tells me my side yard is in fact "front yard". Still, I am going to build an oven, and I certainly don't intend to fire it 20 feet from my neighbors bedroom window when it should surely be on the other side of my yard.
I'm pretty sold on the P-90 kit, although I'm waiting to hear back on the shipping estimate. My big questions are:
1) Does the oven have to be cemented to the foundation stand?
2) Any nice examples of steel stands?
3) Any examples of attractive mobile designs?
Re: building P-90 to someday move
3 Attachment(s)
I built my oven on a steel stand. I know that I would probably move within the next 5 years as my family outgrows the small house we currently live it.
Its not a 'mobile' oven, but made to be moved with a fork lift. When the moving day comes, I'll lift the oven off the stand with a fork lift and place it on a flat bed truck.
The oven is a 36 inch brick oven. The stand will hold a 1/4 cord of wood.
Attached are some pics.
Re: building P-90 to someday move
Thanks! It looks great!
Re: building P-90 to someday move
nothing is difficult or impossible once you get your mind around the situation and think it through.

Ooizumi You, Matsuda Ryuuhei co-star in "Tantei wa Bar ni Iru"
Provided by Tokyograph
2011-03-09 - Ooizumi You (37) and Matsuda Ryuuhei (27) are teaming up to play a detective combo in a movie called "Tantei wa Bar ni Iru," directed by Hashimoto Hajime ("Chacha: Tengai no Onna"). This will be the first time that the two actors have worked together.
"Tantei wa Bar ni Iru" takes its title from the first book in the "Susukino Tantei" novel series, written by Azuma Naomi. However, the story is actually based on the series' second book, "Bar ni Kakatte Kita Denwa."
Oizumi plays a private detective in the Susukino district of Hokkaido. One day at the bar that he frequents, he receives a request over the phone from a mysterious woman calling herself "Kondo Kyoko," and he soon finds his life at stake. His partner, played by Matsuda, is actually a university agriculture department assistant who often fights with Oizumi and who loves to sleep, but he reliably helps out the detective in a pinch, especially with his expertise in karate.
The film's staff includes "Aibou" producer Suto Yasushi and "Always: Sanchome no Yuhi" screenwriter Kosawa Ryota.
The movie is planned to open in September 2011. With the 11th "Susukino Tantei" novel being released this month, there are hopes that the film will be successful enough to continue as a series.

The authority explained that Panama has a comprehensive strategy to develop the Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, Exhibitions (MICE) segment, not only from within the Tourism Authority but also out of an initiative that encompasses the entire sector that collaborates with the Destination Marketing Organization (DMO). "For the first time we managed to make information flow in both directions, from the private sector to the public sector and from the public to the private," Orillac emphasized.
This, according to the authority, has been an influence in bringing about what we have today, one achievement being Panama's access to the North American and European markets for the first time. Panama had been working the market and attending meetings at the Latin American level, practically just regional, but it had not really entered the more competitive market of Canada, the United States, and even Mexico. That pushed us to work very hard on fulfilling a number of requirements, and that is why we must talk about the reengineering, certification, training, and degree of professionalism that were necessary to take us from being a local or regional player up to a global player.
It says a lot when, for the first time in history, Panama has been chosen as the venue when competing with countries or cities that are superbly positioned in this market. To host the pediatrics congress that will take place in 2019, for example, Panama had to compete with Milan and Morocco, and we won. Today we can compete with any city in the world. Panama arrived on the scene with a very professional team composed entirely of Panamanians, in order to be on the same level as any DMO worldwide, whether Las Vegas, Sydney, or Milan.
Now we have to keep working on that platform and structure that were created. It is an industry that requires constant training. If we don't keep up to speed, we could risk losing our spot to any of the other DMOs that are also trying to reach this level, since this is the segment of tourism that all countries want to develop because it brings in the highest revenue and can most speedily revive the tourism economy. I would almost say that the MICE segment is a separate industry within the tourism sector.
CND: How long has the DMO Bureau of Panama existed?
ERNESTO ORILLAC: When we began this work in 2011, we set about determining how it would be structured and established. In 2012 we began to form the plan and made the decision to eliminate the Convention Bureau, which was not working well at the private level, and in its place create the office of the DMO, which at present functions as part of the Tourism Authority.
Now we need to separate the DMO from the Tourism Authority and from the government and make it a completely private entity, putting public funds to use the way the Bureau should have utilized them. This does NOT mean that the Bureau was not successful in the work it performed; it fell apart partially due to a lack of funds and reengineering. Neither the necessities it should have nor the priorities had really been established.
Moreover, the public-private training was fundamental in building confidence in the entire private sector. All the information was flowing in a way it hadn't before due to a certain degree of suspicion. People believed so much in the project that they stopped fearing the transmission of information, and this is supremely important and the key to success. If suppliers are too distrustful to exchange information, the system does not work.
We had very specific goals for that time. We never really thought that we would grow so rapidly. I can tell you, with great humility and with much pride, that today Panama and its conventions segment has become a contender at the regional and global level.
To continue that growth, it is important that in the short term the DMO abandon the public arena and become an independent entity. The private sector is very clear on this and I think that is where we want to go.
CND: Could the fact that the DMO is part of the ATP have been one of the factors that influenced suppliers to be confident in transmitting the necessary information? What might be the danger if it becomes an independent entity?
EO: Definitely that the way the ATP has been run in recent years, even talking about previous administrations, obviously gives you certain confidence, seeing that it's a public agency operating completely independently, with no preference for one over the other. But beyond that, including removing it from the vagaries of politics, I think that when it becomes independent, and seeing how it is currently structured, there will be much more confidence. It will receive public support, from the funds and probably the support of a directive of players that are in the public sector, and from the ATP of course, and it will also have the flexibility to not become politicized, and I don't mean now but over the next five, ten, or twenty years. In the end management of an entity like this, which is very professional and innovative, can sometimes become very difficult when faced with certain requirements and more bureaucratic public structures, because public administration lacks the flexibility that private entities have, even though the funds are audited by the comptroller.
Union and industry leaders will become an integral part of the project, along with directors of the public sector, but the idea is for the private sector to make up the majority and spearhead the project.
Before we weren't all that confident. Now the previous structure has changed. We must maintain a strong, representative board of directors that keeps the country's interests above those of any private company.
CND: Besides operating the DMO with professionalism, what other factors have been a strong influence in Panama's rapid growth in the MICE sector?
EO: It is a task of complete reengineering. There are external factors that are obviously part of the destination. One is connectivity, which is essential in developing this kind of sector and identified as one of our main goals. The other is infrastructure. From 2006 to 2008, Panama did not have the capacity to carry out as large of events as it can today. The hotel industry has grown from 7,000 rooms to 16,000, with a total of 30,000 nationwide.
This growth in hotel capacity brought with it new infrastructure related to the services that have been generated and which have also been growing, such as services in transportation, catering, audiovisual equipment, and event venues.
Another determining factor is the convention centers. Panama currently has several convention centers inside very good-sized hotels, not counting ATLAPA of course, which is still in operation as a convention center and has much potential. To these we can add the new Amador convention center, with events already scheduled. Having this structure planned and already under construction was what allowed us to move forward and get this work done in a quick, very focused, responsible, and organized fashion.
That's how it all got started, and today it is a tremendous boon to the city's hotel occupancy. This segment keeps the rooms full in those big hotels in the city. These events end up benefitting not only the hotels, but the entire city, with commerce, dining, handicrafts, shopping, everything.
CND: How far along is construction of the new convention center?
EO: It's 27-28% finished. They expect it to be completed by mid to late 2015. I estimate that there's a year or year and a half of construction left.
Local connectivity will also be very important.
The arrival of the Metro, the Coastal Strip and its newest addition, the connectivity from the airport to the new Convention Center directly along Coastal Strip 3 and merging with Paseo Amador to make it a four-laner are all fundamental for people to be able to move about the city. Some 5,000 or 6,000 people will be able to be in transit without having to have highway traffic.
It is a complete master plan that was defined, evaluated, and in the future will have to be maintained and continue to grow. That reengineering is not just part of the structuring of what the DMO is today, but a fundamental part of the structures that were being built in Panama and analyzed from all angles. We always had an institution that passed on information to those in charge of carrying out these projects, which were of a magnitude that always benefited the tourism segment, particularly the MICE segment.
CND: How is the DMO working for the country's interior provinces?
EO: There's a series of very important things missing in the connectivity and structure to be able to develop the countryside like the city is developed, but that does not mean it does not exist. It will be a different type of market.
I have great faith that it can be carried out. The airports will provide a platform to hold meetings and conferences in the MICE segment. Take the Pacific beachside for example, where between the arrival of RIU, the Decameron, Playa Blanca, the Sheraton and all the other hotels, there are enough rooms—close to 3,000—to support such events. The same goes for Chiriquí and other places.
Everything you bring into the city also brings wealth into the country's interior. People can go on pre and post tours, they want to explore the sites, and so you are promoting the country's provinces and its economy.
CND: Are there any projects for local air connectivity? Air Panama is the airline now and tickets can get very expensive considering the distance they cover.
EO: I wish another airline would enter, because competition is always good. There is an interesting project that the next administration should be handling, and I think it could greatly benefit the country and its interior provinces. I am quite positive that in the coming years this market will open more and more.
Panama is a relatively small market and is therefore not as appealing as other markets, in terms of population. We're talking about a population of 3 and a half million people, compared to neighboring countries with populations of 42 and 30 million habitants. So if there are companies that have already set their eyes here, with what has been growing and will continue to grow in tourism, there will be an increase in businesses of all types. Some of them will be taking domestic flights because the infrastructure is already in place that allows for larger aircraft to reach these airports, such as at David, Río Hato, Howard, Colón, bringing with it the construction of roads and development of the Atlantic coast.
Three hotels are coming to the Caribbean area: the Decameron, the Kempinski, a German hotel chain looking at the Guaira area in front of Isla Grande, and another that will be situated in the Santa Isabel area where the Decameron is being built. I see everything going well, as long as they follow a plan that is very focused on what they want to accomplish and how to go about doing so.

Real Housewives of New York
Where in the World is Bethenny Frankel Right Now? Far Away From Jill Zarin (PHOTO)
As Jill Zarin mania took over the Real Housewives of New York world last week, one former castmate did something very odd. She stayed out of it.
Even though Bethenny Frankel was at the center of Jill Zarin's tense interview with Bravo's Andy Cohen, the SkinnyGirl mogul stayed quiet on the subject of Jill's possible return to the franchise. Jill ranted about how, once Bethenny realized she didn't need Jill to become famous, they stopped speaking. Jill also made comments suggesting that her season-long fight with Bethenny was planned out in advance, that Jill had told Andy how she was going to start it, and that the only person who wasn't in on the "joke" was Bethenny.
That's a lot of vitriol for an outspoken person like Bethenny to resist, and yet, she has. On October 20, Bethenny tweeted this photo of the view outside her Hong Kong hotel window. The next day, she tweeted, "I'm going on a solo day trip in Hong Kong today! What an adventure!"
So instead of being caught in Jill's web of accusations and ancient history, Bethenny is on the other side of the planet, enjoying the sights and sounds of another culture entirely. Whose life would you trade places with right now: Jill's or Bethenny's?
Tell us in the reaction buttons below!

"When a magazine does a 'comedy issue' it's usually just a few pages of pictures of famous comedians (or more likely comic actors, who aren't really 'comedians' at all) wearing expensive clothes in a silly photo shoot that, despite its purported aims, winds up being the opposite of funny. I'd like to offer a tiny antidote to those offensive shit rags." -Rob Delaney
All right, so you're not reading a comedy issue or even a magazine at all, but Delaney, who appears below in our list, has a point. This list isn't filled with glamorous photo shoots or people who are simply funny onscreen. These folks are hilarious, and they've proven it on stages in front of nobody, or, worse, loads of people who simply do not care. These folks will make you laugh. Some of them have transcended stand-up work and are now on the big screen. Others will end up there one day as well. They say laughter is the best medicine, and we think the folks below are just the "tiny antidote" you need.
10: Zach Galifianakis
America, we have awakened a sleeping giant. We welcomed Galifianakis into our homes, and now he will never, ever, ever go away—not that there's anything wrong with that. From movies (Due Date, the only good part about Dinner For Schmucks) to hilarious web series ("Between Two Ferns"), we have all been struck with Galifianakis Fever, a fever so powerful that it leads us to using too many metaphors when writing about this hirsute funnyman.
8. Dan Telfer
In his "Best Dinosaur" bit, Telfer challenges a crowd to name, you guessed it, the best dinosaur, and then viciously shoots down every suggestion with a mix of knowledge and "complete bullshit." For the 31-year-old comedian—who's been doing improv, writing plays and refining his act since he was 18—it was the perfect opportunity to flex some nerd skills and interact with his audience. He's since garnered a few comedy-club bookings, released an EP and is continuing to build momentum as he prepares for his first full-length album.
7. Rob Delaney
Between his increasingly famous Twitter and Tumblr accounts, to the poignant and hilarious essay he wrote for Vice, 2010 was a monstrous year for Rob Delaney. Speaking of that Vice essay, if you're unfamiliar with this guy, start here. And seriously, follow him on Twitter.
6. Jenny Slate
It would be a shame to merely think of her as "the newcomer who dropped the F-Bomb on SNL," because she is oh-so-much more than that. From Marcel the Shell (see below) to Hoda Kotb and everything in between, Slate's versatility and ability to emit funny noises through her voicebox will always make us laugh.

Aha, I'm sorry about that. Not trying to make fun of you, I just saw it and I had to point it out. It's so funny. Haha
Anyway, I think there are a few options for face of the company. My choices would be The Miz, Cody Rhodes or Daniel Bryan. All 3 are awesome. With all The Miz's work he does outside the ring and the movies he's been shooting could indicate WWE have big plans for him.
Cody Rhodes is still very young and he's been in the WWE for about 5-6 years already. Cody could definitely be an option for the face of the company if WWE book him right.
Daniel Bryan is my 3rd choice only because he seems like someone families and children could get behind and if WWE are serious about family programming it could be good to build a company around someone like him.

TUNIS: Clashes between Islamists and secular opponents in the southern Tunisian town of Tataouine Thursday left a secular politician dead, his party and witnesses said.
A party official told AFP that Lotfi Nakd, coordinator for the opposition party Nida Touns (Call of Tunisia), died after being beaten by pro-government demonstrators who attacked his office. The Interior Ministry confirmed the violence but said Nakd had died of a heart attack.
The violence broke out during a march organized by a group of Islamists close to the Ennahda party, which leads Tunisia's Islamist government. Protesters chanted slogans against Nida Touns, accusing it of being close to ousted leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, a resident said.
The Islamist group, the Association for the Protection of the Revolution, was passing the building of the local Agricultural Union, which is headed by the local representative of Nida Touns, when the clashes began.
"The coordinator of Nida Touns in Tataouine, Lotfi Nakd, was killed after he was attacked," a Call of Tunisia official Khemais Ksila told Reuters by phone. A resident who gave his name as Samil Smida said knives and stones were used in the violence.
"The clashes broke out between Islamists and some people from Nida Touns," he said. "The Islamists were chanting slogans against Nida Touns, calling them liars, telling them to leave. Those inside reacted, throwing stones and it all began."
The state-run TAP news agency said nine people were injured. A leader of the secular Al Joumhouri , Iyed Dahmhani, called on the interior minister to resign after the events.
Tunisia, where an uprising against secular strongman Ben Ali was the first of last year's Arab Spring revolts, is now ruled by an Islamist-led government that has promised not to impose strict religious rules and to respect women's rights.
Liberals say Islamist policies threaten human rights in a country once seen as a beacon of Arab secularism.

GAY AND GRAY: Brinkers Face Retirement
[EDITORIAL NOTE: Gay and Gray is a monthly column at Time Goes By written by Jan Adams (bio) in which she thinks out loud for us on issues of aging lesbians and gay men. Jan also writes on many topics at her own blog, Happening-Here.]
Ronni describes "elders" as the age group that begins at 55 and goes on up as long as we last. Sometimes I wonder about that; I'm pretty sure the experiences and concerns of folks at the young end of the spectrum are quite different than those of some older folks.
I'm at the younger end myself, 62 next month. And lately I've come to think my set ought to be called "Brinkers." Why? Because so many of us are at the brink of the change usually called "retirement," voluntary or involuntary, desired or feared. For this month's column, I thought I'd share some of the conversations I've found myself in about these changes over the last few months.
I have a friend whose partner and soul mate of the last 40 years recently died. I try to walk for exercise with her as often as we can find time.
She's lucky: though not quite 65, she left an intense job with a pension and a severance deal that gives her excellent health insurance until she gets to Medicare eligibility. Almost every time she sees me, she asks anxiously, "You do own your house, don't you?" "Does your job give you health coverage?"
Reliable shelter and health insurance, that's what she thinks life boils down to these days.
My women's group has been meeting every six weeks for almost 30 years. We've seen each other through romantic ups and down, separations and re-couplings, moves, job changes, some lif- threatening illnesses, parents dying with and without our help - and now we're all in the Brinker age group, thinking about retirement.At a recent gathering, we shared our thoughts:
• "I've always defined myself by my work. When I quit next year, who will I be?"
• "I just can't imagine not going to work every day. The idea scares me. But I am so ready..."
• "We've got gardens and animals. Farmers don't get to retire ..."
• "As you know, I've been on disability since my illness. I've always worked to rise in my profession, but I just don't care anymore. I don't ever want to go back to work. I have no trouble filling my days."
• "I think I've begun to retire and not quite admitted it. After this spring I won't teach anymore, though I've started a small business and I'm excited about that. Lately I've been learning new computer skills and I want to share them..."
• "I don't want to retire. I've got work to do. I think they'll let me stay on."
The range is wide, but we all feel we are teetering on the brink of something big.
A recently retired friend took me to dinner. He's a Brinker too. For almost 30 years he worked for the Sierra Club, first arranging outdoor experiences for inner city kids, later in the fundraising department.
Early on, he helped launch Gay and Lesbian Sierrans as a sub group within the Club. There was some opposition at first - why should the gays have their own affinity group? My friend pointed out that straight singles had a group, so why not gays who wanted to be in the wilds together? GLS became one of the Club's more active components.
He had thought he'd have to hang on until eligible for full Social Security (that's 66 or later from most Brinkers.) But the Club offered a buyout, including health coverage until Medicare clicks in, so he's happily out of there.
He's considering moving to a remote area. After all he's an outdoor guy. I wondered, did moving to the country worry him?
"Well, I knew I needed a new stove in the cabin. I went to one store and they told me all about ignition systems and pressure valves and so on. I went to another and the first thing the salesman said was, 'We have a choice of this shade or that color...' So I guess I found my store."
No, he's not worried.
Hey, isn't this supposed to be a Gay and Gray column? What's the gay content besides the anecdote about the last guy? There isn't much - or nearly all of it is about being gay, depending on how you choose to read it.
All the individuals quoted except the first one are gay. But our anxieties as Brinkers reflect more about our economic and health status than our sexuality. Perhaps it is distinctive that all these people never expected to retire based on the shared resources of a partner; they knew from early on that they'd never inherit anyone else's Social Security or pension because the world would not recognize their partnerships (and that is mostly still true), that they had to built what security they could through their own careers.
And they've mostly been lucky -- they've lived in times and places where they could succeed. It is not at all clear that future generations of Americans will enjoy such opportunities.
So you've talked about your friends - what kind of Brinker are you?
Me? I'm a Brinker with "retirement lust"! Actually I've been in that condition for years. The work I do, episodic advocacy and political campaigns, is periodically very intense - and then there is down time. I call the down time (with a label stolen from that misogynist thriller writer John MacDonald) "taking my retirement on the installment plan."
This is not a rhythm that works for everyone, but I'm currently very ready for one of the installments - and not quite ready to fall over into the real thing. We'll see...
At The Elder Storytelling Place today, Frank M. Calabria: Sunday Dinner with My Aunt Bessie and Her Flatulence Machine.

I'm still kinda wondering which store your friend chose to buy the stove from!
I agree, there are elders and elders, just as "youth" encompasses everything from tweens to the magic marketing demographic of 25 to 34, despite the wild differences between 14 and 34...
I like the term "Brinkers." I'd like to keep working, but not 5 days a week, and not always at the office but from home. I hope to retire at 62--4 years, 2 months, and 2 weeks from now.
When the time comes that we just see all people as just people with the same basic problems, I think that's when we finally will be 'there.' My husband will go on SS in July but had intended to wait until he turned 70. Economic situations changed that into a wait until we can get 'full' coverage. We talk about how long we can keep doing the farm with the cattle and sheep. That will be the ultimate retirement for us when we have to give that up and it will be a case of have to as we both enjoy raising livestock-- most of the time.
Great post. People on the brink. We all are people with a similar array of problems. As a divorced, single mom I felt fortunate to have a house, and at 67 just paid off. And yes, sometimes it does seem like it's health insurance and shelter. But it's also being able to extend that safety to our loved ones. I'd like to see Medicare expanded to "the" national insurance and funded appropriately; NO one in this country should be left out, or have to buy meds instead of food or go without. Thanks.
Every loving couple should be able to draw on their partner's SS. A piece of paper and a few words by a clergyman is not what makes a relationship. It is caring and love.
I will never understand the narrow mindedness of some religious (?) people who would deny them that right. Gays and Lesbians should have the same rights as any married couple.
Candide-like, I always hope that there is a time in the life cycle when we are more about our oneness than our differences. So many of the older straight single women I know have similar concerns to those of lesbians.
And stats tell us that many of us married women will one day be alone too. Will that reality bring us together across sexual preference...when we are simply old ladies?
I've leapt into the void and love it. Not gay with many gay friends, I've been an artist my whole life taking life on the installment plan. Now I am living retirement and I must tell you that between school, volunteering, and meetings, there is little time to retire even to a good book. Great entry.......thank you.
I'm partly retired (age 67) not on SS yet. I like what I'm doing, teaching 3 days a week, and my health is reasonably good, for an old gal. I own a house in Maine, but can't afford to live in it because there's no work and the fuel costs in the winter are huge. I can live on my earnings in Korea.
As I get older, I see less and less differences between different groups of people. Koreans are a lot like Mainers; gays are a lot like straights. It's a sin and a shame that the laws don't recognize all partnerships equally.

Old Medical Advice: Use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean and disinfect a cut or scrape. These cleansing agents destroy infection-causing bacteria. Some medical centers and even the National Institutes of Health website advise stowing a bottle of either one in your first aid kit to clean wounds.
New Medical Advice: Rinse cuts with soap and water instead. Hydrogen peroxide and alcohol slow down the healing process by also destroying the good cells essential for tissue repair, says Dr. Carroll. Smarter first aid protocol: Wash the wound with mild soap and running water for three to five minutes, and then apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. In a classic study published in the Journal of Family Practice, this method helped infected blisters mend faster than other approaches, including rinsing with hydrogen peroxide. Finally, apply a bandage to keep the area clean and moist. Not covering a wound is another common mistake, says Dr. Carroll. "Airing out a cut promotes cell death, and the resulting scab can lead to scarring," he explains. Once and for all, cover up that cut for faster healing.

Democrats dominate Issaquah voters' choices
January 1, 2013
Strong get-out-the vote operation boosts candidates
Democrats dominated Issaquah in the November election.
City voters chose Democrats for every federal and statewide office on the ballot — sometimes by a broad margin and others by a handful of votes.
Issaquah overwhelmingly supported Democrats in the races for president and vice president, U.S. senator and U.S. representative, and every statewide office. Only incumbent Republican Steve Litzow, a 41st Legislative District state senator representing about half of Issaquah, earned support from a majority of voters inside city limits.
King County matches turnout record in election
December 4, 2012
King County matched the record for voter turnout in a presidential election, and achieved other milestones in the Nov. 6 contest, officials announced late Nov. 27 after certifying the results.
King County turnout reached 84 percent in November election
November 28, 2012
NEW — 10 a.m. Nov. 28, 2012
King County matched the record for voter turnout in a presidential election, and achieved other milestones in the Nov. 6 contest, officials announced late Tuesday after certifying the results.
Countywide, voters returned 993,908 ballots for about 84 percent turnout, a similar figure to the record turnout set during the 2008 presidential election, although the elections office received more ballots in 2012.
The county set records for registered voters — 1,170,638 — and for the number of ballots tallied on election night — about 556,000.
"Voters responded to our messaging this year and returned their ballots early," Elections Director Sherril Huff said in a statement. "We counted a record high of 556,000 ballots on election night and the number of ballots received too late to process was down 76 percent."
In local legislative contests, outside spending reshapes races
November 27, 2012
Issaquah Democrat Mark Mullet raised $315,166 in the race to represent Issaquah in the state Senate and garnered 36,630 votes throughout the 5th Legislative District.
The total raised amounts to about $8.60 per vote for the ubiquitous campaign mailers, yard signs and TV spots, and online advertising in Mullet's successful race against Snoqualmie Republican Brad Toft.
Toft collected $306,599 and received 30,683 votes districtwide — or about $9.99 per vote.
Students choose Barack Obama, Jay Inslee in mock election
November 27, 2012
Students statewide and in the Issaquah School District chose the same candidates as grown-up voters — Barack Obama for president and Jay Inslee for governor.
The exercise included 38,848 students statewide, including classes at Cascade Ridge Elementary, Endeavour Elementary, Sunset Elementary, Pine Lake Middle and Issaquah High schools in the Issaquah School District.
The number of students participating statewide shattered the record for participation — about 18,000 students — set in 2008.
Mark Mullet elected to represent Issaquah in state Senate
November 13, 2012
The unexpectedly ugly race to represent Issaquah in the state Senate reached a coda in the days after the Nov. 6 election, but not before more public friction between the candidates.
Dave Reichert wins another term in Congress
November 13, 2012
Redistricting ended almost a decade of close challenges for control in the 8th Congressional District, as voters re-elected Republican Dave Reichert by a comfortable margin after a campaign unlike other recent contests for the seat.
In a landslide, Reichert, a former King County sheriff and Auburn Republican, defeated Issaquah Democrat Karen Porterfield, a nonprofit professional and adjunct instructor at Seattle University.
Reichert held on amid vigorous challenges from Democrats in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010, but redistricting last year reshaped the district. The state commission responsible for redrawing the political map snipped Eastside cities from the district and added Eastern Washington communities.
The result created a seat observers said is reliably Republican — and offered little suspense as Election Day came to a close. Reichert led by 18 points in the initial election night results and continued to hold a commanding lead.
Maria Cantwell discusses jobs, stumps for votes in Gilman Village
November 13, 2012
U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell focused on the economy and education during a campaign stop at Issaquah's Gilman Village early Nov. 2, and urged voters to return ballots by the Election Day deadline.
Cantwell's 26-city "Jobs for Washington" bus tour across the state stopped at the Issaquah Coffee Co. In remarks to a group of sign-toting Democrats and local dignitaries, she emphasized efforts to aid small businesses since the economy collapsed in 2008.
"In my opinion, a lot of money went to Wall Street and the five big banks, and Main Street got the short end of the stick," she said. "Well, we worked hard to try to correct that by passing a new bill to help support community banks who would lend to small business. In fact, that program helped banks from Issaquah to Bellingham increase their lending to small businesses by as much as 24 percent."
Cantwell said Eastside residents — and a workforce defined by Boeing engineers and Microsoft programmers — value quality education.
Issaquah drop box buzzes as voters return ballots, shatter records
November 13, 2012
The ballot drop box outside Issaquah City Hall transformed into a nucleus of activity as Election Day stretched into night, and voters raced to deposit ballots before the 8 p.m. deadline.
King County Elections staffers, dressed in aprons the same shade as traffic cones, directed voters to the secure box. The elections office opened the box last month and, as the ballot deadline approached and after post offices closed, more and more ballot-toting voters arrived.
"Unlike during tax season, the post office does not stay open longer hours for voting," Lynne Miller, a King County Elections spokeswoman, said just before 7 p.m. Nov. 6.
Elections staffers used atomic clocks to determine the precise 8 p.m. deadline at ballot drop box sites countywide.
King County Elections forecast 87 percent turnout countywide — a hike from the 84 percent record set in 2008. (The county relied on a combination of mail ballots and polling sites in the last presidential election.)

Voters' Pamphlet needs rethinking
The expense of the mass-mailed Voters' Pamphlet surely outweighs the service it provides, especially in this day and age.
For one, most of the candidates who submit statements for the guides have nothing substantive to say; their messages have been sanitized to the point of being little more than feel-good pablum.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Senior goaltender Lindsey Minton (Richardson, Texas) made a career-high 39 saves but the University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team was defeated 4-2 by fourth-ranked Boston College at Conte Forum on Tuesday night.
UNH, which had not played a game since Dec. 11, 2011, falls to 6-13-3 overall and 0-7-2 in Hockey East with its fourth consecutive loss. BC, which completed the season series vs. the Wildcats at 2-0-1, improved to 15-6-1 overall and climbed into a first-place tie in the Hockey East standings at 8-2-1.
Minton, whose previous season high of 30 saves was at BC on Oct. 15, 2011 and previous career benchmark was 37 against BC on Nov. 28, 2010, recorded double-digit saves all three periods with 15 in the first period, 11 in the second and 13 in the third.
BC counterpart Corinne Boyles made 19 saves.
Kristina Lavoie (Fonthill, Ontario; one goal, one assist) and Kailey Chappell (Pickering, Ontario; two assists) recorded two points apiece. It marked Chappell's first career multiple-point game.
The teams skated to a scoreless tie through one period of play in which BC recorded a 15-6 shot advantage and both teams went 0-for-1 on the power play. The Eagles carried play early, but New Hampshire generated a 2-on-1 rush in the fourth minute when Arielle O'Neill (St. Catherines, Ontario) carried the puck down the right wing. Her centering pass eluded the defender but went into the skates of Heather Kashman (Edmonton, Alberta), who was unable to gain possession.
Lavoie generated a couple of dangerous scoring chances early in the second period. With 4:30 off the clock, Jenna Lascelle (Cornwall, Ontario) sent an indirect pass off the right boards that Lavoie corralled in the neutral zone. Lavoie, 1-on-1 against a defender, cut to the slot and her forehand was turned aside by Boyles. Two minutes later, Caroline Broderick (Marblehead, Mass.) made the indirect pass off the right boards to Lavoie, who muscled past a BC defender in the right circle but was denied at the post.
The Eagles began to reassert control and scored goals 1:47 apart to quickly build a 2-0 lead. Taylor Wasylk struck first at 15:20 when she ripped a shot from along the boards in the left circle past Minton. Alex Carpenter, alone in the slot, collected Mary Restuccia's centering pass from the left wing and slid a low shot into the net at 17:07.
UNH pulled within 2-1 with 37 seconds remaining in the second period. Chappell lifted a pass into the neutral zone and Lascelle knocked the puck forward into the offensive zone to create a breakaway opportunity. Lascelle skated down the slot and shifted to the left to tuck a shot past Boyles inside the post.
BC's Emily Pfalzer scored from point-blank range 24 seconds later, however, to give the Eagles a 3-1 lead heading into the second intermission.
The 'Cats opened the third period on the power play but did not sustain offensive pressure. UNH did capitalize in its third power-play opportunity of the game to once again trim the deficit to one goal, 3-2, at 10:11. Boyles stopped Chappell's initial shot from the slot and Lascelle's shot off the rebound at the left post, but the puck ricocheted to the right post and Lavoie jammed the puck into the net for her eighth goal of the season.
Both teams had an abbreviated power play of 57 seconds in the next couple of minutes, but the score remained 3-2 in favor of the home team. BC's Meagan Mangene, positioned in the slot, redirected Restuccia's shot into the net to reestablish a two-goal lead, 4-2, at 14:36.
UNH gained a 5x3 power play for 99 seconds when Boston College was whistled for minor penalties at 14:53 and 15:14. The 'Cats called time out but did not record a shot during that extended two-skater advantage.
A UNH Wildcat was sent to the penalty box with 2:01 remaining and BC maintained possession in the offensive zone the rest of the way to secure the victory.
New Hampshire returns to action with a two-game home series against the University of Connecticut on Jan. 13-14. Friday's game begins at 7 p.m. and Saturday afternoon's opening faceoff is 4 p.m.

Dana Milbank reminds me that there's another White House aide who deserves to be shown the door: the ever-snide Robert Gibbs. Milbank explains:
Gibbs acts as though he's playing himself in the movie version of his job. In this imaginary film, he is the smart-alecky press secretary, offering zippy comebacks and cracking jokes to make his questioners look ridiculous. It's no great feat to make reporters look bad, but this act also sends a televised image of a cocksure White House to ordinary Americans watching at home.
This is the most visible manifestation of a larger problem the Obama White House has. Many Obama loyalists from the 2008 race still seem, after a year on the job, to be having trouble exiting campaign mode. They sometimes appear to be running a taxpayer-funded rapid-response operation.
Sometimes? We've been treated to attacks from Gibbs on Fox, Gallup, radio talk-show hosts, and CNBC reporters. As Milbank describes, he waves off reporters' legitimate inquiries with the back of his hand — the perfect metaphor for the contempt with which this White House treats critics. A case in point of the abject rudeness that Gibbs displays:
The press secretary drummed a bah-dum-bum on the lectern. [CBS's Chip] Reid ignored the percussion and asked whether the "groundswell of support for a Republican in the blue state of Massachusetts for a candidate who's running against the president's agenda" meant that "the White House has simply lost touch with the American people."
Gibbs gave another dismissive wave and cited a CBS News poll that wasn't about Massachusetts.
"Good diversion," Reid replied.
"I hate to quote CBS to CBS," Gibbs continued with a grin.
Funny, huh? No, not really. The Obama team has brought its style of Chicago politics — nontransparent, corrupt, undemocratic, and bullying — to Washington. It makes no effort to conceal it; instead it showcases it every day from the White House press room. Gibbs in that regard is the perfect face for the Obama White House — arrogant and just plain boorish.
So if Obama is looking to turn over a new leaf — and it's not sure that he is — or even if he wants to present a more appealing image to the voters, he'd do well to dump Gibbs. There have been some pretty good Democratic press secretaries (Mike McCurry among the best), so they should be able to come up with another mouthpiece. The message is a different problem, but the least they can do is find a less obnoxious messenger.

The Canadian political scene is abuzz with attacks on a minister of the Federal Government. She apparently uttered "mistruths" about inserting the word "not" into a recommendation that a so-called religious group by the name of KAIROS be granted government money to continue their work.
Seems as though this group, KAIROS, also meddles in mining, as noted by this quote from a fuller report:
It [KAIROS} saw in the 2008 financial crisis the opportunity for a "New Global Order" — read Socialism Redux. It has traditionally been anti-trade and anti-NAFTA. It thinks oil-sands development should be halted. It has also been prominent in stirring opposition to Canadian mining overseas, supporting Bill C300, which would have applied triple bottom line shackles to Canadian mining companies, and directly lobbying against individual projects. KAIROS took the lead in holding up the development of a mine at Cerro San Pedro in Mexico promoted by New Gold Inc. (previously Metallica Resources). It brought Mexican agitators to Ottawa who claimed 99% local opposition to the mine. However, the poll on which this statistic was based relied on leading questions. Its first question was "Do you agree with [the company's] contamination of the aquifer and the atmosphere of the valley of San Luis with cyanide and other hazardous substances?" The techniques of KAIROS, and NGOs like it, are transparent. They promote local agitation and then say "look at the agitation. The people must be unhappy." They support lawsuits, then note that a project is beset by lawsuits. They have traditionally shown little interest in talking to project supporters. And yet they have achieved extraordinary influence in Ottawa, often on the grounds that they must be credible because they receive government support!
Stories like this make one long for the Tea Party of Canada. Or is Bev Oda already an incipient Tea Partier? It is good to see somebody taking a stand against squandering taxpayer money on fringe groups that promote dubious causes using dishonest means.
While Oda may have dropped the ball in telling how she stopped funding to this group, we must applaud her for taking a principled stand against government waste. And keeping a clear the line between secular and religious activities funded by government. Why should we taxpayers fund religious groups—of any persuasion?

Worst officiating I have ever seen!!
U can even hear the coaches going "holee krap...it's OBVIOUS!"
I would have been out of my head....
Congratulations Mr. Referee, here is your degree from the Kessel School of Refereeing
Life's not the breaths you take, the breathing in and out that gets you through the day ain't what it's all about. It's the moments that take your breath away.
The reason it was such a bad call was Patterson clearly could not get off his back, which tells me Waters was in control. Man that was really pretty bad. Sorry to say that both officials will be at the NCAA's. One is from Missouri the other I think is from OK....
What sort of accountability is there w/ officiating? How does a clear mistake get handled by the higher ups?
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
That's terrible. I hope that ref isn't at nationals.
is this official going to be held accountable for his error. Has there been any word to whether there will be punishments? Officials need to be held accountable. I would be irate if that happened to my guy. I would have at least got a misconduct warning.

Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who will be seen dancing some Indian moves in her next film "Raanjhnaa", says that she wants to do a full fledged Indian dance number in one of her films soon.
"I guess our films lack good Indian dances. I want to do a Indian dance soon in one of my films," the 27-year-old told IANS.
Sonam also says that she hardly gets to see Indian dances in Bollywood films and the last one which she liked was Deepika Padukone's performance in "Om Shanti Om" and Katrina Kaif in the song "Chikni chameli".
"The last one which I liked was Deepika's dance in 'Om shanti Om' and Katrina in 'Chikni Chameli' song was also amazing...there is nothing which I remember after that," she said.
Talking about her background in dancing, Sonam said she is a trained classical dancer and has been studying dance for a while now.
"I started studying classical dance when I was four-year-old. I have been studying it for a while," she said.
Sonam has been busy shooting films for the last couple of years and has not been able to practice her dance. She hopes that she will get the chance to use her dance training someday in her work.
"I want to do Indian dance in films. I have not been dancing at all for the last three- four years as I have been working so much. But I love dancing and hopefully I will be able to start working for it again," said Kapoor who has been a part of films like "Aisha", "Delhi-6", "Mausam" among others.

ATC's performance training takes an innovative, preventative approach to ensure durability, longevity, and peak athletic performance.
It offers high level specialized physical training to a wide range of clients, with that training being provided by highly professional, educated, and motivated performance specialists. This is combined with physician input from a fellowship trained sports medicine orthopedic surgeon to address the medical issues of the client population.
In our studio we utilize the Power Plate as one of our modalities which affords us great flexibility and options in the programs we offer. We combine this technology with other functional modalities which further allow us flexibility in designing routines for every class of individual.
We begin with a movement screen to discover mobility and stability issues. The movement screen we implement (FMS) is a logical, scientifically proven approach to set a baseline for an individual. It allows us to evaluate an individual's dysfunction. We can retest when necessary and compare quantitative score. This is followed by 8 unique steps to enhance athletic performance.
Our goal with each athlete is building a solid foundation that will reduce risk of overuse injury (durability) and improve overall performance. Our program first reinstates proper movement patterns then progresses to all stages of training including core and functional strength training, speed/agility, and power development.
Our performance coaches will educate, teaching proper technique and supervise movement with each session. We encourage the practice of quality over quantity. The number of repetitions is irrelevant but the number of quality repetitions enhances performance
We are not the typical strength and conditioning coach. Injury Reduction is our #1 Goal. We recognize that fact that an athlete cannot perform if injured.
Performance enhancement
Build off of fundamental skills
Pre-collegiate is an important time for any athlete. During these years, an athlete is developing the movement patterns they will use the rest of their lives. Athletes especially need to be certain they are developing the proper patterns to avoid injury on the court or field. Our highly trained performance coaches maximize their time spent with a young athlete by educating and enforcing the patterns that will enhance durability and maximize performance. The best teams and individuals in the world implement this type of system. Train smart. Train like a pro.
Click here for a list of some of the organizations that utilize Functional Movement Systems.
Our organization is people-oriented, and we cater to the motivated individual. Our goal is to provide courteous, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and accountable service to our clients. Call us today at 713-333-7733 for more information.

Italian BA
UCAS code: R300
The four-year Italian BA provides a stimulating programme of Italian language and linguistics, literature, art, history and film. The third year is spent in Italy, offering unrivalled possibilities both for developing your linguistic proficiency and for immersing yourself in Italian culture. Previous knowledge of Italian is not required.
Degree benefits
- Our department was the first to offer Italian Studies in the UK and is the only one to have a writer-in-residence on the staff.
- Staff include experts in all periods of Italian literature, as well as historians, cultural historians and linguists.
- Exceptional resources for Italian studies are available in the UCL Library, including five special collections on Italian studies, and a substantial video library of Italian films.
- Together with the UCL Centre for Italian Studies, the department regularly welcomes distinguished visitors, including academics, critics, writers and actors.
The programme lasts for four years, and each year you will complete courses to the value of 4.0 credits, equivalent to 60 ECTS credits. Language study is compulsory throughout and is designed to cater for those either with or without prior knowledge of the language. You will also take courses each year in areas such as literature, history, linguistics, culture, film and art, covering a large historical timespan. Your third year is spent in Italy, either at a university or on a teaching or work placement.
You may also take School of European Languages, Culture and Society (ELCS) courses, which allow students to study literature, film, art and culture from outside their subject area(s), focusing on broad cultural movements, issues and approaches from an interdisciplinary perspective and drawing on the full range of specialisms within the school.
The final year is spent at UCL.
Your learning
Italian language beginners are taught separately in the first year, and language classes remain streamed in the second year. Cultural courses in the first two years are taught mainly by lectures and tutorials. Final-year topics, which reflect staff research specialisms, use seminar classes and student presentations to encourage participation and discussion.
You will be examined through continuous assessment, take-home essays, presentations and oral and unseen examinations. For some courses, you may choose between an extended essay and a formal examination.

Chancellor George Osborne tells Cambridge News: £500 million deal will spur on city and transform its overloaded transport network
Posted: March 27, 2014|
Cambridge's £500 million City Deal will spur the region on to even greater economic success, George Osborne has exclusively told the News.
Writing inside today's Cambridge News, the Chancellor praises Cambridge as "already a great British economic success story".
And he says the deal, which will see Government cash pumped in to bankroll transport and other infrastructure improvements, will trigger additional investment to lift Cambridge to even greater heights.
Mr Osborne insists the funding project will:
:: transform Cambridge's "outdated and overloaded transport network", curbing traffic jams;
:: promote the building of more new homes for families, more quickly than at present;
:: help businesses to grow, boosting the local economy;
:: open the floodgates for more investment, creating new jobs.
The Chancellor, who is in the city today attending a conference focusing on the global economy, said: "The new Cambridge City Deal . . . could unlock over £1 billion of investment in the city, leading to more investment in infrastructure, and more jobs.
"The Government's long-term plan is about delivering economic security, jobs and growth across the UK – to do this we need to and will back economies like Cambridge.
"We are building a resilient economy which delivers what people want – the economic security that comes with a good job and the prospect of a better economic future for our children, here in Cambridge."
:: Read the Chancellor's full and exclusive article in today's (Thursday March 27) Cambridge News.

The "work" view using AT&T's "Toggle."
Would you like to keep your work life and your personal life separate on your phone? More importantly, your employer probably would really like it. Now, AT&T will help separate the two with a new program called "Toggle."
Toggle, which should be available to businesses before the end of the year, can be used on phones and tablets running Android 2.2 and higher, and with any service provider, AT&T says.
The program "separates and safeguards business data on employees' mobile devices, creating a distinct work mode apart from the typical personal mode in a single smartphone or tablet," AT&T said in a press release.
With a "few quick taps," users can switch between work and personal modes.
AT&T cites a Forrester Research report that says nearly 60 percent of companies in the United States let employees use their own phones for work, and provide the IT support for some or all of those devices.
The "personal" view using AT&T's "Toggle."
"The 'bring your own device' trend can benefit businesses in a number of ways, saving on costs associated with company-owned equipment and satisfying employees' desire for flexibility," AT&T said. " At the same time, IT personnel often struggle to maintain control over dozens of different smartphones and tablets, stretching their time and budgets to the limit."
And, "with the number of mobile applications projected to reach 1.3 million by the end of this year — as opposed to only 75,000 applications for personal computers — managing employee-owned devices is not getting any easier."
More employees "want to use their own smartphones and tablets for work, but that practice can create major headaches for businesses' IT departments," said Chris Hill, AT&T vice president of advanced mobility solutions, said in a statement. Toggle "helps resolve in the issue in a simple, affordable manner."
Customers "will be able to purchase the number of licenses that meet their specific business needs at a price point of $5 per license, plus associated professional service implementation fees," said another AT&T spokesperson.
Toggle, the company said, will have a Web portal that will let IT administrators "manage which employees have access to which company resources; will add, update and delete business applications on employees' personal devices" and will "wipe all corporate information stored in work mode if an employee leaves the company or loses his or her device."
Companies will not have access to the personal side of your device, AT&T says: "Toggle is designed to only give companies access to the business usage only. Personal usage remains private and totally separate."
